Charles E.-Boyle, of Fayette, was elec ted Chalrmap, together with a number of Vice Presidents and Hon. George Sharswood, of Philadelphia, was nominated for the Supreme Bench on the Second ballot—the vote standing Shars- Wbod.Sa; Jno. W. Maynard 15; James Ryan if; Robert J. Fisher 9. A num ■ hpr of able and eloquent speeches were made, and Hon. Wm.A Wallace was re-elected, for the third time, Chairman of the State Executive Committee. IS THEBE TO BE NO PEACE; The late four years war ended In the triumph of the object for which it was commenced—the abolition of slavery in all the Southern States. For thirty years the agitators of the New England States had been in open rebellion against . the Constitution and laws of the United States. They treated both with con tempt, and pronounced the American flag i.‘ a flaunting lie.” Year after year they sent to Congress long petitions praying jfor a dissolution of the Union. Year after year they printed libellous and incendiary books, filled with swel tering falsehoods, calculated arid in tended to alienate the- people, and to engender sectional hatred. The South was taunted and maligned; the old murderer and thief, John Brown, was gent into Virginia, accompanied by a ■band of outlaws armed with Massachu setts rifles and pikes, .to murder her peaceful citizens; .Southern, men who ventured North in pursuit of their Claves, were set upon and butchered, and the whole couritry, North and South, was kept in afeverishstate of excitement by the “ infernal Abolitionists,” as Daniel Webster called them. Finally a dis tinct'sectional party was formed, and for the first time in our history, and in defiance of the warning of the Father of his country, Washington', a sectional ticket was placed in nomination. Lin coln and Hamlin, both of the North, and both Abolitionists of the lowest or der, were, unfortunately for the coun try, elected President and Vice Presi dent. They were elected, as we before remarked, for an object—the extinction of slavery. They and their party de-. sired war, and they determined to have it,"for, notwithstanding moat of them were ‘f blockheads,” they had discern ment enough to know that by war alone could slavery, he exterminated. Their efforts, therefore, against Southern men and Southern ideas were redoubled, and every device that man or devil could devise was resorted to for the purpose of exasperating the South. Helper’s Book—for publishing which the vile author should have been banished from the country or hanged—was circulated in every nook and corner of the land.— This book, with all its infamies, and which had been got out for the express purpose of provoking a collision be tween the North and the South, had the endorsement of Lincoln, Hamlin and all the Kepnblican members of Con gress. At iength the Southern States, goaded, taunted and slandered, took the fatal step—the very step the AAoistion ists desired them to take —and attempt ed to go out of the Union and set up for themselves. Who the first men were who advised this stupendous mistake we know.not, nor do we care, but it was thie greatest, error _ever committed by sane men, and was the very thing for which Massachusetts had labored 'for thirty years. War ensued, and from that hour the institution of slavery was doomed. Four years of carnage and strife, and anxiety and stealing follow ed, until at length the fighting men of the South had melted away, when the contest ended and the negroes were free. With the abolition of slavery it was universally supposed that those restless agitators, the Abolitionists, would con sider their work ended. At one fell Swoop the object f t which they had contended all their lives was accom- plished—there was not a slave in Amer ica. Everybody believed that, slavery .having died out, we would hear no more of the Abolitionists—that they too would die out. All classes and condi tions of men hoped and believed that now we would have peace and repose; that the old agitators having taken the pet lambs to their bosoms, we would be done forever with the hateful contest over cutfy. But alas, no. The discus sion for and .against slavery has been succeeded by a contention about negro suffrage and negro-equalty, more bitter and more determined than any ques tion that ever agitated the country.— The capitol of this great nation—a large, rich and grand old city—has been hand ed over to the keeping of vagabond ne groes, one-half of whom have been clothed and fed at the expense of the people’s treasury for two or three y ears. The cars and public schools are thrown open to the blacks, and rebel negroes are permitted to vote and white men are denied the privilege. Instead of this being a white man’s government, it is to be made a negro government, if the people continue much longer to re- main indifferent. In the name of heav en, how long shall a much-tortured peo ple endure the torment of civil agita tion? Is there to be no more peace in this country that our fathers bequeath ed us ? Are we to get rid 0/ one cquse of turmoil and tribulation, only to be stretched upon the rack of another ? Is slavery only extinguished by a bloody conflict, to be succeeded by a contention about negro suffrage, of which no man can fell the issue ? Can the brain of the nation stand such continued pressure without giving way? Is it not already softening? Will , a people,, heretofore distinguished for their patriotism and honor, continue passive, immovable and listless and see the country engulphed in ruin and the death sweat gathering upon the nation’s brow? We fear our people are not what they once. were. — -If they are—if.they have a single spark. «f their sites’ spirit in their bosoms, they "will rise In'-their might, and, at all haz ards, eyen if it must result in war to 4he knife and the knife to the hilt,; put down the infernal men Who are using, the .negro as a stepping stone to power, that they may be enabled to go on in their career of crime, insolence, frauds sad .usurpations. ( , KSDEn. / BtouSo Jadtctary Commit icssioi) offlve months, at an ie peoplS, we see It stated, .•ed thousand dollars,'made; a final report on 1 the 8d Inst., by:the adoption of the following resolution: " RESOiiVKD. -TTifrf the Evidence doe* not warrant the Cbmmittce iti reporting articles of impcachfnent agohutthe JPresidenU” - Thus ends the Impeachment business.' The Badlcnl journals, generally speak ing, affect joy at the conclusion the Com tee arrived at. Theyijfoy or, may not be honest in thus expressing themselves, for it la certain they rejoiced when Ash ley—who is as near an'ass as human na ture will , admit of—preferred charges' against the President and demanded his 'impeachment;and.they assisted in every way possible. to blacken Mr. Johnson’s name and to scrape up false testimony against him. We believe, however, tlxat they were never in earnest when they clamored for the impeach ment of the President. It.was a dodge —an attempt to frighten Mr. Johnson and to hold him in check against their devilish schemes and revolutionary dtf ings. . They bellowed, made a great noise, and spent a huhdred thousand dollars df the people’s money, but their coward hearts prevented them doing anything more, nor did they intend to do more. They feared the people.— They noticed a black .cloud in the politi cal horizon, which only required a little more heat and agitation to produce a fearful storm—a storm that would have swept the conspirators from the face of the earth. - The cowards quailed before the scowls of the, people, and did not, dare carry out their threats against Mr. Johnson. . But,, after acquitting him, they were still controlled by a mean and unmanly spirit, and they added to the acquittal their opinion that “Presi dent Johnson is unworthy the confi dence and respect of the American peo ple!” How do they know that? What right have they to make such a charge ? Who cares lor their opinion? Many men—indeed a largo majority of the American people, we believe—are of opinion that the majority members of the impeachment committee are a set of dissemblers and political gamblers; and if a vote could be taken by the white men of the nation, on the question, “ who is most unworthy the confidence and respect of the people, the President or the majority members of the smell ing committee?’! the verdict would be overwhelming against the committee. For live long mouths the honest portion of the people have been watching the smellers, and they commenced to ask themselves the question, “when, oh! when will the wicked cease from trou bling and the weary be at rest?” They felt like taking these Yankee, adventu rers by the throats and choking out their worthless lives. And yet, with this feeling of indignation against them, the smdllers haye the audacity to give it ns their opinion that the President of the United States is unworthy of the confi dence and respect of the American pern pie. W’hat egotism—what consummate impudence. BOTTLED BEX” OX SOUTHF.BX LANDS. The following is 4m extract from a letter from Beast Butler, read before a pie-bald meeting of “ Blockheads,” held at Washington, on the night of the sth inst: “ Is It not a self-evident political truth, that where the land is owned In largo tracts by the '-rnploycr, to bo tilled by tho employee, there can be no Just'or true field for the exercise of re publican citizenship? It is one of tho pressing exigencies of the country, nslho very basis ol re among those who shall occupy and till them," - Alow, is not the above the most con summate nonsense imaginable? And yet Beast Ben is a leader, a shining light in the “ Blockhead party,” God help us when such creatures as Butler'are look ed up to for advice and statesmanship. He wants the large tracts of land in the South taken from their owners and di vided among the negroes, because with out this there can he no just or true field for the exercise of republican citi zenship.” Well, if this is good doctrine for the South, why not apply the same rule North? Will the owners of -the Massachusetts cotton mills “divide?” Will Butler himself, who is reported to be worth a million and a-half of dol lars—which the Lincoln administration permitted him to steal—will he “ di vide?” Are Astor, Vanderbelt, and Stewart, of New York, and Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, in favorof a “ divide ?” If not, why? They all belong to But ler’s party—the disunion-negro party—, and they should say yes or no to Ben’s proposition. If his plan is good for the South, we repeat, it is equally good for the North. Let all rich men, then, in both sections, “ divide,” and thus ena ble the “pet lambs,” each and every one uf them, to own a nice farm, for which he will pay nothing. Glorious idea, truly 1 Beyond question Greely was right—we have a “ Blockhead par ly” in this country. ES3“ Forney’s Press is in ecstacies over the devilish doings of the military sa traps down South, and exclaims: > “Behold thopower of the people,and let our enemies know that we will pass act after act to meet every new secession dogma until trouble Is over and the country quiet.” Instead of “power of the people;” would it not have been more appropri ate to have said “power of the bayo net?” The pjan who can rejoice over theposition our country now occupies, and commend the brutalities and un lawful acts of the satraps, is a craven at heart and a “little creature” in every respect. As to the threat that the coun try is to be annoyed and disgraced, by other radical acts of Congress, we say, go-a-head. The people have their eyes steadily fixed upon the Radical Jaco bins, and a few more steps toward an archy and disunion, will make the yeo manry of the country ripe for retalia tion, Go on, then, “blockheads,” in your career of crime and wickedness, and’ thus bring on the crisis which is sure to come, sooner or later. The Philadelphia Loyal League have wisely, aud in good time, offered a premium of 9500 for the best essay that may be tendered 11 on the le- Sal organization of the pdoftlo to select candl ateefor office;" with minor premiums of 9300, 9200 and 8100, for the second, third and fourth In merit.—Herald. We think Satrap Sheridan Is fairly entitled to the first premium. He “ se lects candidates for office” from the Yankee rabble who hover-about his headquarters, and puts out the legally elected officers at thepointof the bayp-. net.

This is the first triumph tTio Radical plunderers and conspirators have had the present year, arftl this they achieved by driving to the polls the ten thousand vagabond negroes that had been gathered into Washington from, alt quarters of the Sohthj and who have as little knowledge of the workings of our government or the responsibilities of a voter as they have'of the aerial re gions or the celestial bodies. These va grant negroes, wo repent, were matched to the polls by the paid minions of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and other Yankee adventurers who are temporary livers at Washington.' The white men of the city—the men who made' and own it— voted;the Conservative ticket; the ne groes, aldedhy a few Yankce aquattora and. government blood-suckers, voted the Jacobin or Negro ticket, and carried it by 8,000 majority! : . , Aid this is the “ victory” over which “the little,creatures whom God, for some inscrutable' purpose, permits to edit a majority of our Republican minor journals” are bellowing over so lustily. The city of Washington—the capltol of this mighty and once respected nation —has been taken from its rightful own ers and transferred to the control and keeping of vagrant negroes and thiev ing Yankees, and at this white men, men made in the image of a just God, rejoice, and crow and get .drunk over! Heavens! what are we coming to ? Are the white men of this nation sleeping, or have they yielded nip all manjy inde pendence,, all pride; pf character, to a miserable party spirit that requires them to recognize a-negro as their equal; nay more, that requires them to recognize a negro as their master and ruler and the guardian of their property ? If the white men of America permit this state of things—this negro-phobia and fanati cism to go on much longer—instead of being a white man’s government, this will be a negro government to all in tents and purposes. Radicalism is de termined to bring this about, and the rejoicings of the negro-equality advo cates over the result of the Washington election is because they think they see the commencement of what is to follow in all the States. - Tkouiii.e ■ Ahead.— The New York Herald has hitherto been very good’ au thority with Radicals. Let them heark en, then, to Uie following wail over the prostrate condition of the country, from that Journal; “Wo aro In great danger. The expenses of the country are greater than it can safely bear. The machinery now employed by the, Government, including the military government of the South, the Freedmen’s Bureau, the array of tax gath erers, and the numerous other expedients for spending money.

Patriot Come to Grief.— The Detroit Free Press, of a recent date, contained the following: “Another of the loyal saints ol tho partyof “ great moral Ideas” has come to grief. The Rev. Davidson Sykes, or, rather James Warrington has been arrested In Jay county, Indiana, for horse stealing. During the war he was great on “ loy alty," and preached death and destruction to De mocrats. Ho organized a mob at Richmond, In that State, for tho purpose of destroying tho Jef fersonian office. Ho also Inst gated the mobbing of several persons, one or. two of whom were so Injured asto-bomade cripples for life. All this he did in the name of “ loyalty.” He used, In all tho fervency of a Christian charity, to call these outrages “going for copperheads." Still Another.— The Rev. Mr. Ju lips Degmere was arrested at’ Erie, on Thursday, for embezzling $16,000 worth of revenue stamps. Ho was formerly connected with the Internal Revenue office as chief clerk. No doubtthisloy al thief was a great hater of “ copper heads” and prayed lustily for the ne gro, taking care, all the time, to fill his pockets with stolen government funds. He’s better than the “ copperheads”—of course he Is. " - , CS&*- The record of the number and kind of frauds perpetrated at the Wash ington City election by the Radicals is almost beyond belief, even in these days of widespread politfeial demoralization. Tho schemes, too, by which conserva tive voters were excluded, were many and infamous. As early as two o’clock on the morning of tho election the ne groes were marching about the streets blowing tin horns and making the most hideous din. Three hours before the polls opened each precinct had a line numbering hundreds of darkles stretch ing squares away from the windows.- As fast as one would vote, after the windows were opened, he would take his place again at the tail in order to give,place to Some darkey yet to'oome. Three hours after,the polls opened but one white vote was polled in three of the wards. -But, it is imposible to i chronicle a tith of the rascalities perpe trated at this first experiment in brute suffrage. A ' , The United States vs. Russia.— The Emperor of Russia, who is general ly regarded by all the world, as the greatest of modern tyrants, has just is sued a proclamation, pardoning all Po landers who took part in the unsuccess ful Polish Revolution several years ago.

Davis, after the surrender of dteti. Deo;! This chap was the ftq&fpyed letter-writer for several Radicalt'Jour nals, and he it was who fabricated the story that when Davis was arrested by our officers he was dressed Id female ap parel. Every map, of ordinary sense knew at the time - when this low false hood was published, thatj.lt tyas intend-, ed as an offset to the story about Mr. Lincoln, who,.on his way to \Vaah;np tou-to be.sworn in as President, woro a Scotch clonk and cap when ho passed through the city of Baltimore. As Lin coln had disgraced himself by disguis ing his person, the letter-writer in ques tion .determined'to try, by a bold lie, to make It appear that Davis had placed, himself in a similar fix. The following letter from Col. J. H. Parker, “ n Yan kee born,” sets tlje story'about Davis at rest forever. He brands it a falsehood, in. language so emphatic that even-a “blockhead” may,' understand. We cannot help but remark, however, that it would have been more creditable to Col. Parker had he exposed tlje lie at the time it.flrst appeared and we very much doubt the “ honor” of the army officers who were cognizant of the mam .ufaqtured story,'and “talked it over as a good joke,” but “never took the trouble to deny it.” We Say wcvdoubt the “ honor” of any officer who can countenance a lie and regard it “a good joke.” - We had a good many of these kind... of jokes perpetrated during the war, and to our shame, be it said, for eigners began to regard us a 1 nation of jokers and liars, for no one pretended to believe one-tenth the “ news” that was telegraphed and published over the country during the four years of the war. But to Col. Parker’s letter. It is addressed to the editor of the Portland Argus, and reads as'follows: lam no admirer of Jeff. Davis; I am a Yankee, boru between Saccarappa and Gorham Corner, am ftili of Yankee projual os, butlthink It wick ed to He even about him, or, for that matter, about the' dovll. ' ,_ _ ■ .

His wife did not toll any person that her husband might hurt some body If he got exasperated. She behaved like a lady, and ho as a gentleman, though manifestly he was shagrlnod at being takon-lnto custody.— Our soldiers behaved like gentlemen, as they were, and our officers like honorable, brave men; nud the’loollsh stories that went the newspaper rounds of the day telling how wolflshly he depor ted himself, wore all false; I-know what I am writing about. I saw Jefferson Davis many times while he-was staying In Portland several years ago. and I was tho first one who recognized him at the time of his arrest. • Whenill was known that ho was certainly ta ken, some newspaper correspondent—l know his, name at the time— fabricated tho story about tho disguise in an old woman’s dress. I heard the whole matter talked over us a good Joke, and the officers who know better, never took the trouble to dony It. Perhaps they. thought that the Con federate Prcsldentdeserveclall the contempt that could bo put upon him. I think so too, only I would never perpetrate a falsehood that by any merifos would become history. And farther, X would never slander a woman who has shown so much devotion as Mrs. Davis has to her husband, no matter how wicked ho Is or may have been, I deiy any person to And a single officer or sol dier who was present at the capture of Davis, who will say upon honor that ho was disguised In - woman’s Clothes, or that his wife acted in any way unlady-llko or undignified on thaj. occasion. I,go for trying him for his crimes, and if ho Is found guilty, punishing him. But I would not 11% about him when the truth will certalntly moke it bad enough. ■ ' ( \ JAMES H, PARKER.

A recent number of that paper contains an article arraigning the “ little crea tures” who were in the majoritv.ln both Houses of the last Legislature. From the article referred to we take the fol lowing extract: “ Those men (members of the Legislature,) wore sent to Harrisburg to attend to the public Inter ests. They lost sight of them entirely in the mass of private acts which hoode4 the chambers. It seems that wo might Just as well have no repre sentatives at Harrisburg as the ones we had lust session. We await with interest some apology or attempted explanation from the suppositious guardians of the public tfcal. So far, In no part of the State, we believe, have any of our Senators or Assemblymen undertaken to explain how it was that several general bills passed both Houses without any one knowing anything about them. Ills bad enough to neglect public business, but it is criminal to be surprised. In the army those officers who suffered themselves to bo taken by surprise were court-martialed.and disgraced, or shot, and they had excuses our over-paid Legis lators never can have.” The National Inlelligencir says: “At an early hour on Tuesday morning hun dreds of negroes from Maryland and Virginia, who had voted bn Monday, were found sitting:about the corners, waiting Anxiously for the‘Republican committees to provide their meals and transportation honje,” A correspon dent also states that on Tuesday night the mob spirit was rife among hundreds of the darkies who had been disappoint ed in receiving their promised pay for yotihg and standing all day in line to exclude white voters.

Winchester on Wednesday night, in reference to thaconduot of the. militia in : that county. G., A. Lough miller.-acted ns Chairman, and W. J. Hlatteras Secretary. 'On motion,, a com- . ralttee of twenty'citizens-was appointed to inquire Into and report upon the con duct of the militia, and to make sugges tions as to Hfe best course to bo pursued. The committee, after retiring, made are port, and thereupon speeches were made by .lessee Arlidge, the Chairman of the dommltteo, Colonel Peter Turney, A. S. Colyar, and Henry Singleton. Tbeurc port was then adopted unanimously. The report is as follows: Your, committee that upon ex amination they find the following facts to be true. That the militia now located in this county, under one Cant. Kirk man, are- committing depredations that call for prompt and immediate action.— For weeks the conduct of this militia has been aubb as to deter many of our citizens from engaging in their ordinary pursuits, and in particular parte of the county, far mers particularly nave bee* deterred from making any expenditure in the purchase or collection of stock to make a crop; and in portions of the country the indications now are that the crop will have to be abandoned, and. will bo entirely lost. Several of Our citizens have been driven from their homes, and for weeks have been hiding out. Vyithin the lost few • days, the outrages of this militia have been of a much more serious and alarming character. They have been traveling over the country, pretending to be hunting arms, but they have, in the most violent manner entered peoples houses, insulted the women, alarmed the children, threatened to kill many per sons. Among the families thus outraged are Dr. Abernathy’s, E. H. Poe’s, Hamp tons’s and many others. Only a few days ago', they took au inoffensive boy, the son of E. H, Poe, a prisoner, carried him to 1 catop. and tied him and condemned him to be shot, and h|s life was saved by the intercession of a friend, making the young man promise, on pain of death, not to tell what had taken place. Yes-* terday morning, about daylight, a por tion of this militia went to the house of a peaceable, quiet citizen, James Brpwn, and upon a pretended acknowledgement, which they claim to have extracted from him, by falsely personating East Tennes see, as to the part he (Brown) took in the war, they took him into ctio woods, utterly disregarding the appeals and cries of his wife and father, and put, him to death in a most heartless and cruel man ner. Leaving him dead, they returned to camp, only sending word to his wife that she could send .and get her husband if she wanted him. Other citizens were shot at, and the lives of many of our citi zens have been threatened.- Several of our citizens have been' notified within the last few days that they, would he killed. , , And these things are all done, as is al •leged, because of the part said persons took in the war, which has now; been oyer more than two years, and for which tile parties have all been pardoned, and have the pledge of the United States gov ernment, through its. highest military officers, that they should bo protected, having laid down, their .arms. ’Wo fur ther report that so far as the citizens of this country are concerned, and especially the men who were rebels during the war, the most porfi ot quiet and order prevails. Everybody, and especially the former rebels, have shown a disposition to obey the laws, no matter how onerous, never before witnessed in this country,. It boa been the constant remark of our Judges, to wit: Judge Hiokeison, Judge Patter son, and Judge Steele, all of whom have held court in the district, and all of whom were appointees of Governor Brownlow, that they never knew a people more dis -posed to be law-abiding. The truth is, no one protends that any man who was a rebel has committed any crime or done anything since the war for which he de serves punishment. Your committee re commended, first, for the immediate' pro tection of men who were in the Southern army and who lived in the neighborhood where this milita is located, that they pro tect themselves by keeping out of the way of this milita for the pesent, even If they have to abandon their families and give up their crops. Second.

It appears upon investigation that the most stupendous frauds ever attempted to be perpetrated wpre'used in the recent election in this olty. They were so stu pendous that no honest man in the city ever dreamed they would be attempted. It was not supposed that the Radical ad venturers in our midst could possibly be so lost to every sense of justice, truth, and ‘propriety as to bo guilty of fmvh onorml ties. It was expected that election frauds would be perpetrated. It was expected that hundreds of.negroes not entitled to vote would be placed upon the'registry; but the manipulatory of the scheme were not satisfied with contingencies.' They had the result all arranged. Even if the Conservative, voters bad presented an array of votes equal to three thousand ma jority upon a fair yote they were prepar ed to overcome it. This result was pro vided for weeks ago. The.evidences of it will be forthcoming at the proper time.— They werejiot known until too late to be acted upon during the election. ' The frauds perpetrated are so glaring as hardly to need exposure. Upon the morn ing after the election there were crowds of country negroes found waiting for transportation to their homes in Mary land and Virginia who had voted here.— They had been brought from ail quarters outside of the city,' and were indignant that after having complied with their con tract to vote in Washington, they were not provided, as stipulated, with trans portation to their boines. It may be that some of these same negroes'will be swift witnesses against their employers, and help to show that the election here was an enormous fraud, and the rcsultattrlbu table to the p.erjiiry.of negroes suborned by the manlpulatorsbf tbb negro. It may be well, for gentlemen who deem their so cial position abbye reproach to congratu late themselves upon (be result of the election, .but It would be better for some of them to prepare themselves against a criminal prosecution under the election laws for subordnatton of perjury and In terference with the election;. , Apart from the frauds, the manner in which the -Radicals thrust obstacles in the way of the polling of the white vote Is simply outrageous. In some of the wards, in which the vote cast w'as great-, er than-could be possible under the ar rangements made, the commissioners of election had* agreed to a programme to hove afalr election, They.had amnged among themselves that thereShou)abe two, lines of voters, one of the other of blacks, and that each' should be. allowed alternately to put in four votes. This was a perfectly fair and satisfactory nnaugement, but our Information Is that the Superintendent of Police broke dp tills arrangement, and compelled the white voters, who. were, prepared to vote under this, arrangement of the oomipls eioners, to take position In the rear of the negro voters ßational IntnUigeneer. ■ The helrs pf Col.

(Signed) ■ Maximilian. New York, June 10.—A special dis patch to the Herald , dated Queretaro, May 20, says that Escobedo had Issued an order that all officers In hiding, who did notsurrenderin twenty-four hours,would be summarily shot when captured. Mendez, did not give himself up, but was captured on Saturday night, and shot early on Sunday morning, in the public park. He met his fate like a brave man. Colonel Campas, the commander of Maximilian’s body-guanj, was also shot.- No other executions are known to have taken place, though many are suspected. AU thff French officers are missing. Maximilian continues ill of dysentry. The wife of Prince Salm Saim, an American lady, closely related to Presi dent Johnson,imado her way alone to President Juarez, at Ban Louis Potosi, to intercede for nor. husband’s life and that of the Emperor. This lady has sped so far 1 i.her brave mission that, yester day, on her arrival here from Ban Luis, she, the Emperor, and Prince Salm Salm, had a long interview with Escobedo, and there Is reason to believe that terms were arranged by which the lives of most of the foreigners will be spared. Murder of a Member of tho Wow Imk Constitutional Convention. Albany, N. Y. June 4.—L. Harris Hls cox, a member of the State Constitutional Convention, bos just been shot dead at Stauwlx Hall, by General Cole, o'lumber dealer of Syracuse, New York. About 8:30, P. M., Hiseox was standing In the large reception room of the hotel, near the clerk’s desk, in his slippers. Cole, who was sitting near by, rose, and ap proaching Hiseox made some remark, which was not distinctly heard by those ahW’pfeseifting u ait the ball entering nearthe rlghteye. His cox fell back senseless, his wound bleed ing profusely, and expired within thirty minutes. Cole remarked that Hiseox had been his best frlepd, hot while he (Cole) was in the army, where he rose to the grade of general* in the cavalry service, Hiseox bad-.ruped his wife, and added, “ I have the evidence now in my pock et.” He quietly awaited the coming of the police. A Scrap from Baker’s Book.— The manlier in which prominent officers of the army attended to their personal com fort whilst beroically (!) engaged In “sav ing the country,” is set forth by Spy Baker, in his book of MuncUausenisms. The following is given as the testimony of Mies A. J., of Cambridge,.Massachu setts—the “friend” of Gens. S., K., C., and the rest of the alphabet; • “ I was born in Cambridge, Massachu setts. Ara twenty years of age. I have neither father nor mother living. I'bave two sisters. In the fall of 18C2 !■ went to the Army of the Potompc, .ivith no defi nite ohjeot in view. .Spent aomo-tlmo nt- General S.’s headquarters, peqr Fairfax Court House. When General s, was re lieved, I joined General K.’s command, and went to the front as the friend and companion of. General C. General K. be came very jealous of General C.’s atten tion to me. I spent two years and a half in the Union army, and during this time have been the guest , of different officers, they furnishing me with horses, order lies, escorts, sentinels at my tent, and quarter rations. I Invariably wore ma jor’s straps. During no.part of the time was I employed as guide, spout or hospi tal nurse,' but as stated above, a compan ion to the various .commanding' officers, ■ ns a private friend and companion." By the way, the Treasury Department under Treasurer Chase (now Chief Jus tice) had quite a number of these young creatures as “ffl.ends” of the Bureau beads, but ostensibly as clerks; arid It Is said many qf thejp, or successors to them, still retain places In that Institution.

'Boiler IKxploslah In Phllndßlpblo. tmu&BVPßtii' June 7.—Yesterday' afternoon about half,oust five o'clock j a boiler lu a planlngmill on Sausorastreet, above Tenth, exploded, the fabric was in mine, men had Been blown Into the air and terribly-mangled, and others were burled beneath the, falling mass. The mills In which the explosion .occurred were located on the south side of Hansom street, midway between Tenth and Elev enth streets, and were.occupied by Goo sey & Ward as a'saw mill and manufac tory, of scroll work and fancy cabinet wavo/ ’ ■ One building on the front was a small brick structure,two stories In height, the first floor being used ns on office, and the second for the storage of furnlturo and work. The mill proper, was In the rear, with an open space of about twenty feet by thirty separating the structures. The mill was of brick, forty.feet by eighty, five stories In height, each story, with the exception of one. Being occupied by work-, men of Geasey AWard. The fourth story was-use by Miller & Beeder, engravers of ■plates for calico printers.. The building had been. In the' occupancy of Geasey & Ward since February last, and at the time of their disaster they had' about twenty five men In their employ, while Miller & Reeder employed five men. • ’ Portions of the flying material-reached ns far as Chestnut street, nud between Ninth arid Tenth the street was plenti fully sprinkled with small pieces of brick. ; .. The Jefferson Medical College, a fine, large, substantial building,- fronting on -Tenth street, is located directly tor the eastward of, the place of- disaster. The rear of this building Is In close proximity to the exploded mill. It was shaken to Its foundation, but was not damaged., The scene Is described as appalling in the greatest degree. The near-residents, after recovering from the terrible shook, rushed to the rescue.. Theplerolngshrleks of the unfortunate men buried -near the surface of the ruins, the stifled groans of others stlll.further down, were truly heal t rendlng pud appalling, and fairly parlyz- Ing In their eflsots. Presently, amid all this destruction of niatteranaeombustlnible material, smoke was seen curling from the top of the pile. The forge used by Messrs. Miller A Reed er had fired the rubbish. Now it was that the shrieks", of the'doomed men were more terrible than ever. The firemen wees speedily In attendance, and labored with herculean strength to rescue the un fortunates, and one or two were got out. But the flames Increased fearfully, and nothing could be done to save the burled and half stifled men. " . Besides danger of suffocation, a more horrible death enroached upon them, that of fire or scalding water, for It was neces sary for the firemen to apply water to pre vent a more general destruction. In a short time the entire pile of rubbish, with Its twenty-five or thirty bodies, was one mass of fire. The probability Is that some of the bodies were eutlrely\ destroyed ; those got from tbs ruins could not bo identified except from clothing. The machine shop of W. T. King was used os the reception rooms of tbs char red remains of the unfortunate men. A mingled mass of headless trunks —trunks without arms or legs, were piled up there last e vening in- onoildeous mass. The agony ..of surviving wives, sisters and other relatives may be imagined but not well described. The origin or cause of the disaster is un? known., Mr. Jenkins, the engineer, had been employed but three days, taking the place of the regular engineer, now Hl.'- 1 During the afternoon he discovered that the packing around part of the engine re quired repairing, ana up to within five minutes of. the explosion workmen from Mr. King’s establshment had been, em ployed in doing what was needed to the engine. While this work was in progress steam was allowed to get low, and Mr. Jenkins asserted that a moment before the explosion the firemen,, who was re plenishing the fires, represented that there was but one pound of stealn indica ted by the guago. The boiler was the or dinary tubular pattern, and was consider ed. perfectly sound. The building was owned by the estate of Charles jSoenman, and Messrs. Geasey & Ward were the suc cessors of that gentleman' in the business carried on in the establishment. Movements are on foot lii various quar ters for the relief of the sufferers by the catastrophe.. . 1 • Bomb op ouh Gotempoabies Beem to .tUln tel urap U of tUoir-mnnwk.do pended,like thefate of Jericho, upon the amount of noise made—in these days'of refinement and luxury, an article of real Intrinsic merits Is soon appreciated; bepce the oncj unparalleled success of Plantation Bioterb.
