Hard against soft—inflation against re traction. The St. Louis Convention will be a beautiful mess. linisTow stock has been looking up for the last week or two, but we do not anti cipate the nomination of any wan, by the Cincinnati Convention, who hails from South of Mason and Dixon's Line. The Republican party call hardly afford any such experiment. THE Senate, among a number of other confirmations of appointments made by the Governor, confirmed the appointment of Attorney General Lear without a dissent ing voice. The Senate deserves great credit for thus doing justice to an honest and upright Republican. THE Democrats have been singularly unfortunate in their investigations. At the end of every string they have, almost invariably, found some big Democratic po litician, and thereby they have "cooked his It looks as if the Democrats shared in every corruption that has dis graced the country. COLORADO, the embryo State, has had a Republican Convention to select dele gates to the National Republican Conven tion, and among the rank and file of that body we notice the nanaeof our late towns man, Capt. Wm. K. Burchinell. The Captain is a straight and square Republi can, and where be leads no Republican need be ashamed to follow. WHAT an amount of training is going on for the Presidential race. All over the country the lame, the halt and the blind are oiling up and coming to the fore.— Many of the aspirants, however, will nev er be heard of at Cincinnati or St. Louis, but they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they were at least mentioned in connection with the office. This item will figure in their obituary notices. THE advocates of land reform, says an exchange, will find a fruitful text for the propagation of their doctrines in the last Domesday Book, which has lately been issued. It appears from the statistics that one hundred men own in the aggregate 3,852,000 acres, or something more than one-tenth of tha whole area of England and Wales. In a population of twenty millions of people in England and Wales considerable less than one million are house owners, and of this number seven hundred thousand own small lots of less than one acre each. The rental of lands in eleven counties ranges from one pound eight shillings to two pound 'an acre per year, though in some of the other counties it is less. In England one parson in every twenty is a landowner and ono in every twenty-five in Scotland. Land reform in England, however desirable it may be, is impracticable under the present laws of primogeniture. It is an impossibility un der the law which makes the oldest son the successor of estates and dignities. The facts, though, which are brought out by such a shadow as England makes, are of the highest importance here. Those facts should indicate how our public domain should be used. They should warn our senators and congressmen against the dan gers of laid monopolies.- THE Board of Centennial Commission• ers have resolved to close up the Exhibi tion on Sundays. This we regard as a grand mistake. It is the usual pandering of the truculent politician to the arrogant demands of Affluence, Bigotry, Intolerance, and Superstition. The object of the Ex hibition, if we understand it, is to enlight en, to ennoble, to ex-alt, and by this action those who should be the most benefitted will be, in a sense, excluded. The com mon people, the laborer and his family, always severely pressed for time and means, cannot bear an expense of ten or fifteen dollars, and the loss of time required, made necessary by this edict, to examine this immense. Exhibition. It will require from five to ten days to see all that is to be E2CII. It' the Exhibition were kept open on Sundays at least half a million of persons, in reduced circumstances, living within a radius of fifty or sixty miles of Philadelphia, would be able to visit it who otherwise may be entirely unable to see it. Sunday is accepted through out christen dom as "the poor man's day," and the Centennial Commissioners should have met this class half way by throwing open the buildings and redueing the fare to twenty five cents. The result would be that those who frequent , street-corners, bar-rooms, loafing places, beer gardens, parka, and a thousand times worse resorts, would find their way to the Exhibition and learn that which would profit them throughout their lives and their children after them. We hope that the Board of Commiesionerswill reconsider their action, and that Progress and Intelligence will triumph over the Bigotry, Intolerance and Superstition band ed down to us from the Dark Ages.

To bring about more uniformity the Leg islature has passed an act containing the following provisions : "That any owner of real estate in coun ties of less than 500,000 inhabitants who may feel aggrieved at the last or any fu ture assessment of his real estate may ap peal from the decision of the County Com missioners to the Court of Common Pleas of the county within which real estate may be situated, and for that purpose may present to the said court within thirty days after the passage of this act, and in all future cases within thirty days after the County Commissioners shall have acted upon said assessment, a petition signed by him or his agent or attorney setting. forth the facts of the case, and thereupon the said court shall proceed at the earliest convenient time, to be by them appointed, and of which notice shall be given to the commissioners of the proper county, to hear the said appeal and the proofs in the case and shall make such degrees apprais ing or reducing the assessment complained of as the judges of the said court shall seem equitable, having regard to the val uation and assessment made of other real estate in said county, so adjusting the .as sessment complained of that it shall be equal in proportion to its value in all parts of said county as nearly as may be; the costa of said appeal shall be apportioned as the courts may direct : Provided, That said appeal shall be deemed good and suf ficient if said petition shall be filed in the Prothonotary's office within the thirty days aforementioned : Provided further, That the appeal shall not prevent the collections of taxes, and in any case of any reduction of said tax the overplus thus paid shall be re turned. MAY 5, IS7i; TUE Republic Magazine for May is one of the strongest numbers yet issued. The opening paper, "Crippling the National Government," is a trenchant review of the retrenchment policy of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. An interesting paper on General Jackson will command attention. One of the most useful articles in the number relates to the Civil Service force, its extent and charac ter of employment. It is the first complete analysis we have seen given. There are a number of able articles, each bearing on some live political topic. Economists will be interested in the paper. On "Labor in the United States"—in its relations to Free Trade and Protection, as also in a well stated historical review of the Cur rency, and of Banks and Banking in our own country. This magazine, while vig orously Republican in tone, succeeds ad mirably in its efforts to present political issues in an impersonal and pleasing man- WE are led to believe, unless some ex traordinary efforts are made by the rail. road companies, that there will not be half the number of persons visit the Centennial that has been heretofore anticipated. We hear a uniform complaint that the expense is entirely too great. The fare ought not to exceed half.the usual charges and re duction should even then be made for whole families. TUE only visible evidence of political life, in this Congressional district, comes to us from Franklin county, where two Congressional candidates have been fully developed. Everything is quiet in this county, but there is sufficient feeling be neath the visible surface to indicate that u3less some things are fixed up there will not be much chance for any Republican candidate in this district. Supposed Suicide in Altoona. A YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD IN A STONE QUARRY. There was a great excitement in Altoo na, on Saturday, over the finding of the dead body of a young man named Earnest Plack, in a stone quarry, on the outskirts of the city, about a quarter of a mile from his father's residence. A boy named Gal way had gone to the vicinity of the quarry to cut sods, and observing the body, sup posed the party to be drunk and asleep. Galway was soon after accosted by a boy employed in Pluck's store, who inquired if he had seen Earnest flack. Galway replied that he had not, but told about the drunken man in the quarry. He went to the place indicated, and recognized the body at once. He spread the dreadful news, and in a short time the father and one of the brothers of the deceased were on the ground, bending over the lifeless remains. An examination developed the fact that death bad been caused by a pis tol shot, which entered the chest near the left nipple, and penetrated the point of the heart. The deceased was only eighteen years of age, and was of good character and of exemplary habits. Why he should commit suicide is a mystery, and yet the facts and circumstances have little room to doubi that he died by his own act. There were powder marks on his clothing, which show that the weapon was close to the body when the shot was fired. There was no indication of a scuffle, and the contents of the pockets were undisturbed. A gold watch, which the deceased owned, had been left at home. A pistol, it is stated, was picked up near where the body lay, by a boy panted Morrow. who had been there before Galway, and who, thinking the man was, drunk, and might, wake up and do some harm with the weapon, took it away. Discovering afterwards that the man had been shot, Marrow took fright and threw into a privy—but although search was made for it, it was not found. There is no doubt, however, that the boy tells the truth. It is not likely that any person, intending to murder young Plack, could have induoed him to go to that lo cality at that hour of the night; but it was just such a spot as he would have se lected had he been contemplating suicide. He was at a auinstrel perforwace on Friday evening, but it was observed that he did not enjoy the entertainment, his mind be ing seemingly absorbed with something else. He left the hall about half' past ten o'clock, and was last seen a few minutes afterwards, talking to a large man on the street. Many of his friends seem strongly impressed with the belief that be was mur dered, but the circumstances point to a different conclusion. There are various stories afloat, tending to exhibit a motive for the act, the most plausible of which is that the young man had been crossed in love, and had taken his disappointment greatly to heart. ,An inquest was to have been held Saturday evening, the result of' which has not reached us. Lizzie liollingsviortb, a young German girl, borrowed mourning garments from eighteen different families in Philadelphia, in order to go_ in proper apparel to the funeral of her parents. The clothing was recovered at five different pawnshops, and Lizzie goeA to Moyamensing to finish her mourning. The Wiiiiamsport Fire. T. iA.. Apri! 29. -- ten ~'ciock night an incendiary lire was started in the heart of the lumber dis trict and in one of the most dangerous localities. The flame shot up rapidly and at I 1 o'clock it hail develepod sufficieetly to show that. a seric,tis cotithiejat ion w i t,. threatened. Bv 12 o'clock the while city was illuminated and the light was seen ;it. twenty five miles distant. Mayor Starkweather, after a hurried consultation with the chief and foreman of the fire de partment, at once decided to ask assistance from abroad and he immediately telegraph ed to Lock Haven, Sunbury and Watson, town, The fire was started on the extreme northwestern corner of the ground occu pied by Ranstead & Flynn By the time the steamers and hose carts arrived the flames had gained a headway that could not have been checked by four times as many steamers as our fire department con sists of. For a long time the fire worked upon the piles of lumber belonging to Ranstead & Flynn. Tremendous but fruitless efforts were made to stay its pro tress at Maynard street, the dividing line . between Ranstead & Flynn's piling ground and that used by Maynard & Co. The flames swept fiercely across Maynard street and licked up the huge piles of lumber in spite of the immense amount of water that was thrown upon them. After vainly striving to confine the flames to the piles then burning, the firemen took up a posi tion on Maynard street leading into the new bridge. Here a space of thirty feet intervened between the piles, and it was thought that by placing boards endways against the piles on the lower side of the street the course of the fire might be checked. To this point the firemen di rected their attention, and for about twen ty minutes struggled manfully with vttry ing snccess, and were then cempelled tc abandon their position and fly for their lives, as the surging billows bounded over the vacot space and lapped up the piles on the lower side of the street. One posi tion after another was taken only to be aboned as the dreadful enemy swept for ward. After the fire reached the lumber piles below G. W. Maynard & Co's mill it seemed as if nothing but want of fuel would suffice to check it. A large amount Of lumber on the north side of the rail road was now in einuaieent peril. But by a providential change in the wind it was saved. Every hope of checking the fire west of Campbell street was abandoned, and at twelve o'clock there were acres of burning lumber. Fortunately the wind, which changed to the south at twelve o'clock, had not changed up to one o'clock. Piles of lumber in every direction appar ently were on fire. As it approached the canal, where the Williamsport furniture company had a number of piles of valua ble lumber, men went to work at saving as much as possible by pitching it into the canal. But the time allowed them for this work was very brief and they were compelled to retreat without accomplish ing a great deal. Onward to Campbell street the flames swept, and here there was nothing for them to feed upon, the open space being sufficient to prevent them leap ing to the lumber on the east side. At two o'clock the Lock Haven engine com pany arrived and at once hurried to the scene, but were too late to render any as sistence, as at that hour the fire had spent its strength and .was under control. At bout the same time the Watsontown and Sunbury fire companies arrived. It is es timated that 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 feet of pine lumber were burned. The heav iest losers are Herdic & Maynard, about 3,000,000 feet; Ranstead & Flynn, sever al million ; Thos. Tozier, 1,500,000 ; Hub bard & Mangey, 200,000; and 100,000 shingles belonging to an Elmira firm. The loss is pretty well covered by insurance. \ V 11.1,1.‘`.: THE LOSSES BY THE WILLIAMSPORT FIRE. The latest estimates place the total loss at about $125,000. The principal losers are Herdic & Maynard, $50,000 ; insured for $32,500. Ranstead & Flynn, $35,000 ; insured for $29,500. Thomas Tozier, $l2- 000 ; insured for $7,000. llubbard & Manhey, $3,000; insured for $5,000. L. Holden of Elmira, $5OO, fully covered by insurance. There is also a loss of about $lO,OOO in damaged railroad tracks be longing to the Catawissa railroad and lum ber yard. _ _ The Diamond King's Wedding. Recollections of the Albany Journal's famous account of the wedding of De Sonza Cabral, of Diamentina, Brazil, was revived recently by the'return ofapackaffe of G 45 dead letters from Brazil to the post office in this city, all directed to that fictitious individual. The writer of the story conceived the laudable idea of ob taining possession of these letters through the agency of the postmaster at Albany, but he has been bitterly disappointed, as appears from a letter from Postmaster Jewell, who writes : _ "In reply, I have to say that while I have no doubt that Mr. MeElroy's state ment is true in every particular, it is im possible to grant his request as-the letters have all been opened in the Dead Letter Office and returned to the writers. These letters averaged twenty a week from the New York office alone, and probably as many more from the other exchange offices. The writers represented every condition in life, but while all parts of the Union were well represented, the South furnished the largest contingent.. With character. istie directness the gifts or loans asked were usually large, while in one instance the writer of the letter would have been grateful for a sufficient amount to purchase a sewing machine. This was the smallest sum asked fur. Sons of aged and infirm parents, clergymen, invalids, men who had failed in business, all with the same childlike faith, looked to the Diamond King for relief, and seemed confident that the trifle they asked would b' surely forth. coming. Many inclosed postage stamps fur return postage; others inclosed pho tographs only to have the clerk:, who re turned the letters wonder at the credulity of the writers, and wish they could tell them to place wore reliance upon their own efforts than upon the liberality of others. I give you these particulars for the benefit of Mr. McElroy, and have only to add that these letters could not have been delivered to him under any circum stances, as the law requires that in case the party addressed cannot be found, the letters shall be returned to the writers.— It so happened iu this case that the ad dresses of the writers were very full and unmistakable." Ralph L. Rollins and B. Johnson, in dicted for attempting to rob the Natioaal Bank of Chambersiurg, on the 24th of March last, were sentenced on Saturday to solitary confinement for ten and eight years respectively.
