HoN. J. SIMPSON AFRICA, Deputy
Secretary of Internal Affairs, will please
accept our thanks for a copy of the Annual
Report of that department for 1877-8. It
is a large volume of over seven hundred
pages and contains much statistical infor

IN THE Pennsylvania House of Repre
sentatives, on Friday last, a resolution
was passed, by a strict party vote, provi
ding for the appointment of a joint com
mittee to weloome Gen. Grant upon his
arrival in this country in the name of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, provided
there shall be no expense to the State.
SAMUEL S. MOON, publisher of the
Railway World, died at his residence in
Philadelphia, on the 49th ult., lacking a
few days of being firty-six years of age.
He was well and favorably known throuh•
out the State, particularly in railroad
circles, he having filled many responsible
positions in that field during his lifetime.
THE Democratic newspapers generally,
and the Harrisburg Patriot particularly,
are making the ugliest kind of faces at
President Hayes since he vetoed the pet
scheme of their party for carrying elections
by fraud. But the President can stand it
if they can, and they can proceed with
their grimaces.
THE latest Democratic Presidential
ticket is "Davis and Randall," not Jeffer.
son, the gentleman of petticoat fame, but
David, the "Independent" Senator from
Illinois, and the great "flopper" of the
Thirty-Sixth Congress. You can bet
heavy that he will never "flop" into the
Presidential chair.
WE are in receipt of Altoona's latest
-newspaper venture, the Town Talk, which
made its debut on the Ist inst., with our
old friend, J. 11. Ewing, esq., as editor and
proprietor, and W. G. Wilson as city
editor. It is a sprightly little sheet, band
comely printed, and filled to the brim with
the "town talk." We wish it success and
its pro;ectors a colossal fortune.
IN the New York Assembly, a resolution
for the appointment of a joint connuittee
of five Senators and nine members of th,
House to tender the hospitalities of the
State to General Grant on his return to
this country has been adopted. The Seu
ate resolution condemning the actic.n of
Congress in forcing certain amendments to
the Army Appropriation bill passed by a
vote of 74 to 16—a strict party vote.
THERE is any amount of "git up" and
enterprise in the Lancaster Express. Every
Saturday a large supplement is issued,
which the proprietor finds necessary in
order to accommodate his increasing ad
vertising patronage without lessening the
amount of excellent reading matter which
fills the paper. The Express is the best
paper, by a long shot, published in Lan
caster, and we are glad to chronie'.e this
evidence of its prosperity.
BROOKS, of Cameron county, introduced
an act in the House, the other day, to re
peal the law creating a commission to erect
a penitentiary for the Middle District,
paying the expenses already incurred by
the commission and abandoning the pro
jest. Some member should have intro
duced as a substitute a bill for an increase
of facilities for the safe keeping of the
weak-minded and insane. Men of this
class find their way into our legislative
halls, and they should be provided for.
THE Republican County Committee or
Blair county held a meeting on Saturday
last and elected Hon. B. F. Rose, of Al
toona, and E. S. Pruner, of Tyrone, Rep
resentative delegates, and Dr. Strayer, of
Roaring Springs, Senatorial delegate to
the next Republican State Convention.—
The date for holding the primary election
was fixed for the 24th inst. At that time
the members of the party will vote for or
against the •Crawford County System" of

TEE United States Minister to Mexico,
in a dispatch to the Department of State,
and in reply to numerous inquiries, gives
information of a great smplas of labor of
all kinds in Mexico. lie discourages in
an emphatic manner any idea that employ

United States, either in manual or intel
lectual pursuits. He describes the dis

ONE night last week, as a circus com
pany was leaving Washington, in York
county, on the line of the Baltimore &
Potomac railroad, when about forty miles
north of that place, an unhung scoundrel,
of the genus tramp, opened the door of the
cage containing a Brazilian jaguar and
permitted the animal to escape to the
woods. This was the most ferocious ani
mal in the collection, and much apprehen
sion is felt for the lives of the inhabitants
of that section. The proprietors of the
show offer $5OO for the capture of the
animal or for satisfactory evidence of its
death. A number of tramps had been put
off the train carrying the animals, and it is
supposed that this scoundrel released the
animal through revenge for the ejectment
.of his fellows.
DURING the twenty four hours ending

satisfy the most morbid taste for news of
the horrible.
Editor.
DOWN in Louisiana and Mississippi, the
planters are in a quandry how to get their
crops in. The exodus of the colored peo
ple from those States has rendered laborers
so scarce that large plantations ara being
abandoned for want of hands to cultivate
them. The scarcity of laborers has run
the wages up to prices never before paid
in that section, and those who pay them
cannot possibly make their plantations re
munerative. For this state of things the
citizens are alone responsible. had they
treated the colored people with anything
like fairness, they would not have been
compelled to seek new homes to enjoy the
privileges of citizenship, but they would
have remained and performed the labor at
fair prices.
THE Canadian town of Statford was
shaken as if by an earthquake, by the ex
plosion of a car load of dynamite, on Mon•
day morning. Several houses were shaken
to pieces, others bad;y shattered, and
several persons killed and injured. The
loss of property is estimated at $250,000.

An Appeal For Help.
THE COLORED PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA ASK
FOR AID.
An Address to the People of the United
The following address has been issued by
the colored people's convention, recently
held in Louisiana : We, the represents
tives of the people of African descent in
Louisiana, in convention assembled, solemn
ly and truly declare before God and the
country that we are denied the freedom of
the ballot and equality before the lawlnd
that in the unholy persecutions visited
upon us for our political opinions, the ut
nloA limit of endurance has been reached.
Our grievances, which we have patiently
and hopefully borne, have been numerous
and cruel.
We have suffered ostraci,m in violation
of divine precepts.
We have been deniA utir civil rights in
utter disregard of the law , ~f tile Com
monwealth.
The courts have aggravated our wr,ngs
b) mocking our appeals for redress.
Our schr,ol houses, churches and homes
have been reduced to ashes with impunity.
we have been systematically cheated
and plundered by planters and country
merchants until starvation stares us in the
face
By a wicked combination we are forced
to rent land at $lO an acre per year, which
could not be sold in fee simple for $3 per
acre.
Oar representative men have been.driven
from their homes and forced to abandon
their property and household goods be
cauße of their Republicanism.
Our people nave been whipped.rnurdered
and outraged when they would not be se
duced and could not be coerced from the
party which emancipated them.
Our cry in terror for help, for protec
tion, and against political assas , inations
has been shamefully ridiculed by our guilty
enemies as the waving of the "bloody
shirt," without any foundation.
If we are illiterate, it is because white
men made it a crime to teach us to read
the Bible.
If we are poor, it is because we have
been denied the right of property, life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Our past in the South has been an ex
istence of sorrow, tears and blood, and
under the unchristian and despotic public
sentiment, the future is without a ray of
hope.
We have almost been driven to despera
tion through the combined calamities at
the same time, of yellow fever, the South
ern policy and political massacres.
For these and other reasons, which are
a matter of record, we appeal for material
aid to the official and moral influences of
the President of the United States, for
whom many persons of African descent,
rather than be false to principle, willingly
sacrificed their lives.
We appeal to Congress for a favorable
consideration in behalf of the suffering,
hunted, persecuted, and starving exiles
We appeal, in our necessities, to the
Republican party, to which we have con
scientiously adhered, for which we have
been scourged and massacred.
We appeal to the liberality of good men
in the Democratic party who are opposed
to the wicked methods practiced upon a
defenseless people for political opinions.
We appeal to the hearts of the Christian,
public; to the churches and all other or
ganizations who have observed our patience
and endurance under the reign of terror
We appeal with confidence to the loyal
sentiment which saved the Republic, be.
cause much of the bitterness and hostility
visited upon our people was intensified by
our devotion to the Union in the struggle
with rebellion.
We appeal for aid to the old anti sla•
very apostles, who never failed us in the
past when we fled from the house of bond
age, and upon whom we now rely in our
enforced exile from the spirit of oppres.
sion.
We appeal for succor to the Society of
Friends in this our journey through the
wilderness of Southern hate to the land
of promise, where we may live in peace,
security and happiness.
We appeal in our distress to the country
at large, which has authentic and historic
evidence of the outrages and massacres
visited upon us with impunity, for no
other reason than attempting to exercise
our rights as American citizens.
We appeal to these and all other classes
and conditions who sympathize with us in
our wrongs, who are willing to help us in
our flight to save our lives and enjoy our
liberty, to respond to our wail for moral
and material aid to migrate to a State
where political assassinations are unknown
and where the bull-dozer cannot reach us.

The President on Tuesday vetoed the
bill passed by a DLunocratic Congr.7:ss
turn future elecrions over to the repeaters
of New York and the rifle clubs of the
South. He did it, too, with the concur
rence of every member of his Cabinet and
he was and is supported in his action by
every Republican member of Congress, by
all except three of the Greenbackers in
Congress, and by nine tenths of the pa
triotic people of the country. The Presi
dent has, on a very important occasion,
and against influences not readily appre
ciated by those away from the Capitol,
vindicated his Republicanism and patriot
ism. He has done it, too, in a message
which is at once an addition to the argu
ment in favor of his own party and a
conclusive demonstration of the strenzth
of our form of Government. The bril
liant speeches of Mr. Blaine in the late
debate on the Army bill, the opening
speech of Mr. Garfield in the House, and
that of Mr. Conkling in closing the Re
publican side of the Senate debate, are all
worthy of high praise. They will be read
by all those who come after us, and will
be texts frOm which legislators will here
after speak. It is not to') much to say
that the President not only admirably
epitomized all that those eminent men said,
but did more. He showed, even more
plainly than they had done, the utter fbily
of the Democratic position. The Presi
dent has not been and is not likely to be
the favorite of the whole Republican party.
but I doubt if any better campaign doeu
meat will be circulated during the next
two years than than the veto message he
sent to the Democratic House on Tuesday
last.
There were lots of Damocratic caucuses
yesterday The city was full of them.
When the House came to a vote, yester
day, on passing the Army bill over the
President's veto, there were 120 Repre
sentatives in favor of its passage and 110
against it. The difference between this
and the vote by which the Legislative bill
passed the House on Saturday last-140
to 119—may fairly be said to be due to
the influence wielded by Senatois Blaine
and Colliding, in their admirable presenta
tion of Republican views, and to the ex
cellent veto message of President Hayes.
All that is left for a Democratic Cong ress
to do is to pass the appropriation bills
without riders of any kind. It may be
that "supp!y" bills will be passed, by
which the Government will be saved from
starving to death until December, but that
will be as full a back down as to pus the
regular bills.
There is not much satisfaction in writing
about the financial intentions of Congress
It is known to all that no bill can pass
which will seriously interfere with busi
ness.
There was recently published a state
ment of ex Senator Hendricks that he
would not accept a second place on the
Democratic ticket of 1880. In order that
no injustice may be done this esteemed
gentleman I give below a late letter from
him:
" My Dear Sir.—l Lave your favor of
" the 93th, asking whether there is any
" foundation for the statement contained
"in the newspaper slip inclosed, to the
"
effect that I have written to members of
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
" fey.ring the re nomination of the ticket
"of 1876 for 1880. lam surprised to see
"such a statement. It is without any
" foundation in truth. I have written no
" such letter, and have in no form cx
" pressed any such view. I did not, as is
" known, desire the nomination of 1876 as
" a candidate for the Vice Presidency,
" and do not think it would in any con
" tingency, be my duty again to accept a
" nomination for a position which I do
" not desire " DEWITT.
A Fanatic's Crime.
Charles F. Freeman, of Pocasset. Mass.,
a &coizd Adventist, Claims to Have Re
eeived a "Wonderful Revelation" C onn
?minding Him to Sacrifice His 5 year
old Daughter—The Little One Transfix
ed to a Table—`'Religious Exciie
meat's" Wad!
BOSTON, May 2.---Charle4 Freediao
of Pocasset. Ma-s ; yesterday killed his
5 year old daughter. ihe wan is Et Sec
and Adventist, and has been attending
revival meetings. About a week ago he
claimed to have received a wonderful reve
lation, and has not eaten or slept since.
He, says the Lord directed him to sacrifice
his little daughter, and declares she will
rise again in three dap. Yesterday
morning be sent word to the neighbors that
he would make the revelation known after
an orthodox sacrifice.
In the afternoon a number of Second
Adventists assembled at his house, but the
child had been killed. The little one was
transfixed with a knife and her blood
poured out upon a table improvised as an
altar. Freeman has driven every one
from the house, and locked and barred the
(hors and windows, and having firearms
threatens death to any one who interferes.
Alone with the dead child he goes through
horrible incantations, in which, he says,
"thr-e days will result in the resurrection
of my beloved child."
Freeman is about 35 years old arid lives
with his wife and family on his farm in
Pocasset. He has lived in Pocasset about
seven years and is in moderate circum
stances. He is insane only on this one
subject. It is said that at the meeting of
the Second Adventists held at Freeman's
house the same aftbrnoon, they appeared
to wish the affair kept quiet. Freeman
carried the mail as usual and showed no
signs of insanity. The cause of the terri
ble deed appears to be religious excite
went alone. Freeman is now at his resi
dence in charge of Officer lledding and
Dr. J. C. Wood, of Pocasset. He inform
ed a reporter to day that he was told by
God to offer Edith D., his young and
beautiful daughter, as a sacrifice to Hint,
and that he did so, as God would not stay
His hand. He had to du .His command
and He would justify him in his act.
A Dangerous Torpor.
Torpor or inactivity - of the kidneys is seri
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is
the precedent of diseases which destroy their
substance and endanger life. This sluggish
ness may be overcome by stimulating them,
not excessively, but moderately, an effect
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
general invigorant and alterative, possessing
diuretic properties of no common order. The
impetus which this admirable medicine gives
to their evacuative function counteracts any
tendency to congestion which may exist in
their tissues. Both they and their associate
organ, the bladder, are invigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts
a kindred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, and by strengthening the system,
enables it to withstand malarial epidemics, to
which
r wLen exposed it might otherwise
succumb. EmaY2-lni.

ble quality and price.
SPRING FOREIGN COTTONS,
The designs in Foreign Cottons for the present
Spring and Summer are particularly pleasing.
The variety that we are showing from which to
make selection, and the richness and elegance of
our exclusive styles, must convince buyers, aft
er a careful examination, that our stock cannot
possibly be excelled.
SPRING COSTUMES FOR LADIES,
This season we present to buyers a new fea
ture in Dressmaking. Instead of bigh-priced im-
ported suits out of the reach of every one, we of
fer costumes made of goods stylish and attract
ive in appearance, in styles taken from the lat-
est Parrs . patterns, imported by ourselves, and
marked at the most moderate prices.
SPRING SUITS FOR CUILDREN.
Our stock of these goods, as is universally ac
knowledged, is not even approached elsewhere.
Our Commencement, Party and School Dresses

which can scarcely be improved upon. We have
a large line of Suits made expressly for wear at
the seashore, country and mountains, in stylish
effects and at surprisingly low prices.
SPRING WRAPS, MANTLES, ETC.

conceivable kind of light goods.

Paisley Shawls, with open centres, fil led c 4 ntres,
rich borders, and subdued colors; Thibet, Shet
land and Zephyr Shawls, in all colors, weaves,
and designs, at prices that defy competition.
SPRING CLOTHING FOR BOYS.
We have prepared for this Spring a stock of
the most carefully made and stylish goods it is
possible to procure, and have marked every gar
ment on the basis of our uniform'y low prices.
Our stock is all new, and every garment of the
latest styles of materials and workmanship.
SPRING STAPLE GOODS.

Percales, Ginghams, Muslins, Sheetings, Flan

of every lady who wishes to unite good taste in selection with economy in expenditure.
