The fault particular ly attaches to the proprietors, yet the ver dict of the jury says that explosion or col lapse would not have been so likely to fol low had the proper checks and valves been provided.

Sinn.—lt is stated that the Governor of Ohio, a few days ago offered a reward of $5OO for the arrest of a man named John Smith, and since the offer has been made public every train that arrives at Columbus is crowded with policemen, each with a man with the right name, but, of course, in other respects not the individual wanted. "Row we apples do swim," said the Examiner of this week. What a beauti ful metaphor can be drawn. Jack is the apple. He tries to swim in the political current of the county. But he's a speckled apple, marked all over with Treasury marks and marshall. (martial) scars, and sinks to the bottom. The reform current is too strong and it has swept him under. What a Rhetorician Jack is. Tam Collapse of the flue at the Colum bia Rolling mill on Tuesday morning establishes the fact that greater care should be exercised in the use of boilers. From the evidence adduced at the Cor oner's inquest, published in our local col umns it will be seen that boilers Nos. 3 and 4 were without regular check valves —a self-,acting valve so constructed that it allows the water to pass freely into the boiler, but will not allow any to return from the boiler. These two boilers were connected with the main water feed, with nothing to prevent the re-flow of water under the pressure of the steam, except the water stop valve, attached to each one and this was usually open. Hence the folliming theory of the explosion—the same as that arrived at by the jury— seems plausible and satisfactory: that thepressureofthe confined steam in boiler No. 4 which may hare had a pressure of 85 or 95 pounds to an inch, it being cut off from the main steam pipe, forced the water suddenly out of it into the other boiler or boilers. The result was a collapse. Had therebeen a self-acting check valve attached to the boiler feed, no one could have assigned want of water as the cause of the disaster. It - was however the opinion of several of the - witnesses, practical engineers and scientists, that the collapse may have occurred even with the boiler full, up to third guage. The warnings and recommendations of the Jury will prevent a similar disaster, if adopted. There is no security for life where such essential precautions are ne glected in the construction and arrange ment of steam boilers. A HON. Jz•nr =An S. BLACK, of York, "Buchanan's Attorney General, and au thor of the celebrated legal opinion which led Buchanan to declare in his message of December 1660 that the Government had no right to use coercive measures to pre vent the , Secession of States from the Union, has a lengthy article in the June number of the Galaxy, addressed to Sena tor Wilson. It is ostensibly in reply to the article of the latter in a recent issue of the Atlantic alfonth/y, - wherein Mr. Wilson developed the treasonable char acter of the action of Buchanan's Cabinet, and Secretary Stanton's agency in keeping loyal members of Congress posted as to the doings of the traitors. But Judge Black's artiele - is simply characteristic, intensely bitter, dealing in loose declara tions and not deigning to bring any facts to the support of his sweeping allegations. While pretending to defend Stanton from the charge of hypocrisy, he makes him a party to the misdeeds of the Cabinet, cor dially, endorsing, and never dissenting from, all that was said and done. Of course, to reach this conclusion it is nec essary to discredit all the facts developed by Senator Wilson, and Judge Black -wipes them out by a broad, sweeping de nial. Between Senator 'Wilson and Judge Black theie is thus a. direct issue—the former maintaining Stanton's loyalty, the latter asserting his complicity with treas on. Senator Wilson has an advantage in Stanton's subsequent energetic devotion to the Govermnent and his intense hatred of the Rebellion and all concerned in it. Nor will the country hesitate which wit ness to belie4e. Judge Black has no reas on to feel sore. He practically espoused the cause of traitors by proclaiming, as the lawnfficer of the Government, that it was powerless to prevent its own destruction. When Sece”ion ripened into Rebellion, and during the whole progress of the war, he tools no pains to conceal his sympathies. Had the Rebellion succeeded, he would have been duly honored by triumphant traitors. As it is, heshould not complain that a loyal people had him to his record. In the Galaxy article,-while Judge Black has a kind word to say for Toucey, Cobb, Thompson =Toner traitors,he exhausts the vocabulary of malignancy to • express his intense hatre . d' of the:Republican party and all istailaelped 'save the Govern nient?;•Rtar-.. -"" A Strange Adventure A gentleman who resides in York at the present time relates an amusing adventure which occurred during a journey which he made across the Allegheny mountains when he was a boy. It has some resem blance to the ideal creation of a fiction writer's brain. He had stopped with a number of other travelers at a tavern sit uated on a lonely road across the mount ain. In the evening after supper a crowd collected in the comfortable bar-room, partly composed of travelers and partly of the usual attendants and hangers-on of an inn. .Editor The night was cold, and the enliv ening effect of a good supper besides some evening potations were calculated to call forth the most pleasing interchange of wit and sentiment. The evening hours stole away in a delightful manner. The conversation turned to relating a variety Of travelers' tales, some quite ex travagant ',and entertaining, and finally the usual catalogue of ghost and murder stories passed around. This was kept up until most of the company were in such a frame of mind that would be apt to make them start at any sound, or turn with a shudder at the outlines of their own shad ows. One after another the guests retired, and among those weird mountain wilds which surrounded this lonely tavern, fearful si lence reigned. The situation was at once realized by one of the party whose boldness at play ing a practical joke was one of his pecu liar characteristics. Our informant hap pened to be traveling in company with this person, and after they had retired to their room he was told to keep awake, as there would be a lively time during the night. Shortly after mid-night the man stole soltly out of bed, and with a sharp knife drew blood from his forehead,spread ing some over the blade of a large knife, and scattering some on the bed clothes. Then passing down the stairs he stained the banister with marks of blood. Out side of the house he went to a small stream a short distance away, and washed his hands and face. On the road he dropped some few linen rags saturated with blood, as if they had been used for staunching a wound. When he returned to the bed room he left the doors open, and told the boy to join him in the cry of . murder " at the top of his voice. The inmates of the house were instantly in an uproar. The landlord came rushing into the room from whence the cries proceeded, having in his hands a loaded gun. The horrible sight of the bloody knife and the hurried statement from his guest that a man had attempted to rob him when lie used the knife to defend himself and the boy,but that the midnight intruder had escaped probably with but a flesh wound, made him think this to be the true state of affairs. Armed with clubs,lmives and revolvers, the whole party started in pursuit. The traces were easily discover ed by the light of lanterns, to the water, where after careful examination, further traces were lost. In the excited state of their minds any more sleep for that night was not thought of. The most fearful pictures of robbers' retreats in. the recesses of the mountains were suggested to the mind of the land lord, and the credulous travelers congrat ulated themselves personally that they were not the victims of murder and rob bery. The next morning all started on their respective journeys without any ex planation from the perpetrator of the de ception. About one year after the circumstance occurred, which we have narrated, the ; two persons who were in the, secret of - the transaction, chanced to stop' at the same tavern, but a different landlord was dis pensing the honors of the house. Of course they inquired what had become of the former proprietor, when they were told that about one year ago an attempt at robbery and murder had been made, short ly after which the landlord had sold out and left the place on that account. A few gentlemen who were present, said they were at the tavern that night, and recol lected the dreadful circumstance well. An explanation was then made to all present much to their astonishment and to the gratification of the new landlord. The Fenian Fizzle The following description of the ad vance made by Gen. O'Neil, taken from the New York. Tribune, is both graphic and humorous The field of affray was in Franklin County Vermont, close to the Canada line and some fifteen miles north of St. Albans. Thither the Fennian army repaired in driblets to place - themselves under the command of Gen. O'Neil. Their first proceeding was to unpack carpet bags and get out the green uniforms. Their second was to hear a speech. "Fenians," said the general, "the eyes of Ireland are upon you. Forward march!" Now it was perhaps not strictly in accordance with military etiquette—or shall we say discipline?—but when Gen. O'Neil said "Forward, march," the Fenian to whom had been committed the skirmish line deemed this a proper occasion for another speech, in the course of which be copious ly observed that he would forward march. Then the army turned around, saw Cana da and went for it. The Canadian army at this point being only 50 strong, while the Fenians were about 250, the conquest of the Dominion might seem a foregone conclusion had it not been for the sudden interference of the United States of America. The United States of America was personated on this occasion by George P. Foster and Thos. Palley, who came upon the field in a rock away, or some such peacable vehicle, and took a commanding position upon a hill side under fire. In the thickest of the fight, while the Fenian. commander (also under .fire) was surveying the scene through a glass, the United States of America crept from the rockaway, and tapped him on his shoulder. "Sir," said Marshal George P. Foster. "I arrest you for breaking the law." "Sir, ,, said the general, "I have an annyhere and I won't "be arrested." Whereupon the com mander was ignominiously bundled into the carriage and driven off to jail—and the army went home! A LEADING clergyman of NOV York, in a recent sermon, said he impeached the society of to-day: that it is altogether too loose; that the Americans are fast losing the idea of home, and that any man, if he is wealthy, can do any immoral act he pleases, and still be welcomed into the drawing-rooms, of our best families, while our mothers and daughters do not hesi tate to take him by the hand. THE Republican party may be divided on the tariff question, but when once the issue comes, the ranks will close up, as in the past, and the disagreeing members of the Republican party be reconciled to each other and be led to union for the sake of victory. The history of party shows that the pressure of assault will causeßepUblicans like the Roman legion aries to' spring to their eagles and to face the foe. (Special Correspondence.) "The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing." WASHINGTON May 31, 1870 The germinating movement of the Democracy in the South to shuffle off the serpentine livery of Treason with which that party, both here and there, clothed itself during the war, is the premonitory symptom of nausea produced by its own' acts and record, and a feeble attempt to obliterate from the popular heart the de served obloquy which still, and long will cling ivy -like to the body politic of that reckless and demoralized organization, The argiementton ad homillem is paraded in the attractive name of the "Citizens' Party," with which, "niggers," now that they are voters and therefore "citizens," are expected to fall in and march along to the tune of "We're a band of brothers," as if nothing had happened. But unfor tunatelyfor these political resurrectionists many things have happened and are still transpiring, of which the colored man, whatever may be his short-comings, has a most retentive memory, and which will demonstrate to the tricky politicians that "old birds cannot be caught with chaff." Observation or experience have taught the negro long ago that the Democratic party, with all the power that argument and the ballot can bring to bear, have al ways conspired to prevent the elevation of their race from the rank of brutes and the crudities of abject serfdom, to the rights of manhood and of citizenship. More recent developeinents have pointed out to them the fact that that party, after the emancipation of the slaves, violently opposed every measure in. - National and State legislation having a tendency to in vest the freedmen with the rights and privileges acquired by their freedom, and stoutly denied them while in a state of servitude. Coming still nearer to the verge of the present, the negro must be cognizant of the fact that although secur ed by Constitutional Amendment in the right to vote, the Democracy still oppose their exercise of that franchise, and deny the authority of Congress der lack! rum the amendment to enforce it. This is alto gether too broad a balance-sheet against the Democracy for the political genius of that party to cover up under the specious name of the "Citizens' Party." The col ored man's brain is comprehensive enough to take in this truth, as is most emphati cally evinced by the following, among other sentiments inscribed on the trans parencies carried in the procession in Charleston, South Carolina, celebrating the Fifteenth Amendment. "We have played together, you say; but «•ere we ever whipped together." "Our daily prayer—Lord deliver us from our `best (?) friends.'" This "Crooking the pregnant hinges of the knee, Where thrift may follow fawning," will not buy the manhood and the ballot of the negro, purchased at the cost of so much torture at the whipping post, nor will it varnish the Democratic party with an appearance of that high sense of Hu man Justice which every dogma and every act of that party has unscrupulously dis regarded. Nothing, short of an unquali fied return to the judicious policy pursued in the days of Jefferson, will again grace the name of Democracy, as employed by partizans, with the wreaths of political virtue, and arm it with the shield of power. The Enforcement Bill.—The Report of the conference committee on the differ ences between the two houses on the Fif teenth Amendment bill to enforce the right of citizens to vote in the several States without distinction of race, color or previous condition of servitude, was presented by Mr. Stewart in the Senate on Tuesday. The Report chiefly harmon izes the points of variance in the bill as agreed to respectively by the Senate and House, without essentially modifying any important features. By it the President is authorized to employ such part of the land or naval forces, or the militia, as shall be necessary to aid in the execution of the judicial process issued under the act. The Report amplifies the section providing penalties for unlawful registra tion by the proviso that every registration at which a Representative or Delegate in Congress may be elected, shall be deemed a registration within the meaning of the act. It also expresses more definitely the language of the 21st section of the bill al lowing a candidate to go into the United States Court and give effect to the votes of persons offering to vote, but denied that right by reason of race, color, or pre vious condition of servitude. That is to say, such candidate may have the excluded votes counted and included inthe canvass. On Wednesday, the Senate, after discus sion by Messrs. Stewart, Casserly, Bayard and Saulsbury, the three latter opposing, adopted the Report by a strict party vote —yeas 4S, nays 1. The House has not, up to my present writing, taken action upon the Report. The Indian Peace Conference which is expected to occur here next Week pursu ant to the arrangement of the Government heretofore alluded to, is eliciting consid erable interest, Already chiefs and head warriors of the Ernie Sioux tribe bearing the euphonious names of Spotted Tail, Swift Bear, Fast Bear, and Yellow Hair, have arrived and are awaiting the coming of Red Cloud, of the Ogalah band of Sioux. with about twenty others who are daily expected. Spotted Tail is said to be in credulous concerning the arrival of Red Cloud, and seems to fear that the confer ence will turn. out to be a ruse of the White Man whom the Indians have, for reasons too well founded, learned to con sider as mighty " onsartain." The new comers were highly gratified to learn that the news of their butchery had preceeded as they esteem such outrages an evidence of valor. Their interpreter is a French man who has lived twenty-six years among the Sioux. The Peace Commission of ISGS, presented Spotted Tail and Swift Bear with profile likeness of ex-President Johnson, which they wear as ornaments. They are attired in warlike costume but their faces are not painted. 031-EGA. Advertising The Sunbury American came to us last week with the entire fourth page taken up with the advertisement of Win. H. Miller, a drygoods merchant of that place. This is a rare occurrence in newspaper life, and we will bet a big orange Mr.. Miller is the " shrewdest and best busi ness man in Sunbury, and that he will be repaid tenfold for the expense of his mammoth advertisement.—Clinton Co. Republican. Tim last Legislature passed an Act "to prevent anti punish the publication of ob scene advertisements and the sale of nox ious medicines." The Act is very sweep ing in its provisions and if literally observed will take from the shelves of our druggist half of their stock in trade. The "Buchu," the "guide to health," &c., placarded in the various and attractive styles of the printers' art, will have to vanish, or else the vender and the pub lisher be subjected to heavy penalties. A nEDTrekrox of ten millions in the public debt this month is considered probable. "The Public Ledger and the Public Record." The following very sensible and fair re marks are from the Morning Past. They embody what must be the opinion of all justly-inclined persons, upon a question which is of as much interest to the news paper profession generally as it is to the proprietors of the two journals specially named. If a new candidate for public favor can be allowed to produce a sheet which is such a dead imitation of one al ready in existence, that only by specially turning over the pages to find the whole heading (one half of which is an imitation) can the difference be discovered, there must be something wrong in the law which can permit such an invasion of business rights. In this case the position of William J. Swain is peculiarly improper. A stranger might have started a newspa per which would be flatly an imitation of the Public Ledger, and he would have been accused of bad taste and of having made an unjust attack upon the right of others. But as the Public Record was started upon funds derived from an estate which was largely increased in amount by the money obtained from the sale of the Public Ledger, at the fair and full price asked for it by its former owner, the transaction comes very closely to the boundary of actual dishonesty. The .illorning Post of Friday pertinently said: What constitutes the value of anews paper? Not the real estate, presses, type and machinery it may 01%11. These pos sessions are worth nothing in comparison with that value which may be summed up in the word Popularity. A newspaper that has reputation, a hold upon the busi ness community, political and social in fluence, and commands the confidence of the public, is a property which can be lost only by mismanagement. This value rests upon no speculative basis. There is no sounder foundation of any business than the confidence of the community given to established integrity and ability. It is better to have this and nothing else than a million of dollars without it. A newspaper has also its style, which is to it what a man's feature are to his indi viduality—something by which it is in stantly recognized. The Tribune, the Herald, and the Times, are as different in appearance as any three men met in the street. The Ledger, the Day, the _Age, are equally distinct from each other in looks. It is the custom in journalism to respect these difference and not to infringe upon them. We regret that the Public Record, Mr. Swain's new paper, has violated this rule of justice and courtesy. It is a frt.; sim ile of the Ledger in reduced form. It uses Precisely the same type, and more than that, the same typographical arrangement is followed in the most insignificant de tails. The imitation is so axaot that but for the size, it would be impossible to tell the Record from the Ledger. We are not surprised that Mr. Childs, who had suc cessfully used his influence to get the Record admitted into the Associated Press should have said of it in the Ledger: "It was our expectation and purpose to give it a generous welcome but we regret to see in the first number so grave a dis courtesy as to oblige us to forego our in tention." It is only surprising that the Ledger said so little. For the style of the Ledger is its trade-mark, and a jury of impartial men would inevitably so decide. But even if the legal violation of a right should not be admitted, a wrong in equity cannot be denied. We refer to these facts with reluctance, but it is right that the attention of news paper publishers should be called to the innovation. If, when a man purchases a newspaper, and gives his energies to its -improvement, the former owner can pro-. duce afar simile of it, with the evident intention of profiting by the resemblance, a species of rivalry will be discreditable to journalism. There will be an end of that honorable co-operation, not incon sistent, which the true representatives of American journalism so earnestly desire to maintain. The Future of Parties The Democracy can't get over its an tipathy to the "blasted nigger" sufficient ly to nationalize the Virginia and Ten nessee affiliation with the newly enfran chised, and which, in the last named State had been so successful. In Delaware, for instance, the "Democracy" made a foolish effort to organize a "white man's party;" and, although its failure was too complete to become conspicous, it nevertheless served to place that party beyond the pale of hope, so far as the colored vote is con cerned. And the same is true of the Democracy of Maryland and Pennsylva nia, and of one or two other States, who colored citizens are now voters. The tariff question cannot in the very nature of things become a rallying point for a National party; even if it should, Free trade in 1872, will not be to the Democra cy what "Free trade and Sailors Rights" was in 184.0. The South has become thoroughly revolutionized upon this, as upon other issues that gave the Southern Democracy such strength a quarter of a century ago. Thus it will be seen that the opposition will be even more destitute of the means of successful political warfare in 1872, than they were in 186 S. They will also labor under an additional disadvantage, in this that whereas they then had the Excutive on their side, they will now have to fight both the Executive and Congress. In MS, the Republicans labored under many disadvantages, but they now have the Administration with them, and the head of it as the embodiment of the party for the succession. In the elections for. Congressmen-this fall, the Republicans will enter the cam paign upon the policy of the President, and will be supported by an organization more compact and more powerful than at any previous time in the history of the great National Party. In, the Adminis tration, the Republicans have a vantage ground quite as strong as that held by the Democracy under Old Hickory Jackson; and, in view of all these circuipstances, the exhortations of the radical Democratic press of Georgia to renewed opposition to the XVth Amendment, and to what they are pleased to style "Centralized Radical ism," looks very much like madness per sonified. THE Richmond Conservatives, after having been fairly and honestly defeated in the late municipal' election, have re sorted to an outrage of the grossest char acter. The five commissioners, in sum ming up the returns, took the unwarranted liberty of casting out a sufficient number of Republican votes, on the grouhd of illegality, to give their candidate a major ,ity. The Whig is honest enough to de nounce this outrage and say that no Conservative should accept a certificate of election based upon such an illegal manipulation of the returns.

OWING to a pressure of local and other matter we were unable last week to call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Jasper Green, who has been for some time established in our town and who has su perior facilities for producing the best class of wood engraving in all its branch es, in a style not to be surpassed by any establisment in New York or Phila. Mr. Green has now many orders from some of the leading firms of Phila., among whom are Messrs. Claxton, Rem sen Haffelfinger. The high reputation of this house, as publishers of elegant lit erature, is a sufficient guarantee of Mr. Green's abilities to give satisfaction to his country patrons. Among many oth er designs which he had the pleasure of seeing in his studio, we were much amused with the series of Silhoutte illus trations for a work entitled "The travels of. an American Owl"- They are exceed ingly humorous iu conception, and we think will make an attractive volume. Mr. Green, is about to commence the . illustrations in connection with Mr. Hiram Faber of Phila., of a poem by a distinguished southern authoress, which it is the intention of the above named firm to bring out under the superintend ence of Thos. W. Ifartly Esq., in a style heretofore not excelled in this country. Mechanism Triumphant We recently paid a visit to the magni ficent sales room of Peterson & Carpenter, General Agents of the Wheeler & Wilson's celebrated sewing machines, No. 64 N. Queen street, Lancaster, Pa. They have fitted up these rooms in the richest and most elaborate style, combining conveni ence, comfort and elegance. Mr. Jos. Blascheek, their courteous and enter prising agent fur Lancaster, York and Adams counties, occupies them, and through his courtesy we were taken through all the different departments of the establishment.. The first floor is fit ted up in elegant style as salesroom, con taining counters, display cases, sewing machines, and private office neatly and conveniently arranged. Pleasant and obliging ladies are in attendance, who are constantly employed in operating or giving instructions. The basement has been re modelled and is now used as store room for new machines, and as work and re pair shop. Here we saw about twenty five new Wheeler & Wilson machines, marked and ready to be sent to the pur chasers throughout the county, a half dozen machines of other manufactures. embracing the Howe, Singer, Grove & Baker, &c., which had been exchanged for Wheeler & Wilson machines, and which were being overhauled, preparatory to being shipped to Philadelphia and other places The wagons of this establishment are models of beauty, style and finish. Chris tian Myers of this place has put up sev eral in the best style, and finished in the most elaborate manner. Two hundred and fifty wagons are in use by the agency, and nineteen in this district alone. Any thing short of a personal inspection of the extent of the business carried on by the Wheeler & Wilson agencies, will be unsatisfactory. Over 480,000 of these household gems are now in use, and the number is daily multiplying We can not condense into our brief notice the sterling merits of this machine over others, but recommend our readers to call and examine for themselves either at the Columbia office, No. 251 Locust street or at No. 64 North Queen street, Lancaster, Pa.

Injure the main spring of a watch and every portion of the works becomes disorder°. , The human stomach is to the human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chamometer. It influences the action of the other organs, and controls, to a certain extent, the whole living machine. The compirrison may be carried fur ther: for as the weakness or other imperfections of the main Spa lug is indicated on the face of the time-piece, so also is the weakness or other dis orders of the stomach betrayed by the face of the invalid. The complexion Is sallow or faded, the eyes are deficient in lustre and Intelligence, and there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole countenance which tells as plainly as written wards could, do that the great nonnshing organ whosa ()Ince it is to minister to the wants of the body, and to sustain and renew all its parts, is not urea :rating its duty. It requires renovating aml regulating, and to accomplish this end, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly stud to be the one thing needful. The broken main spring of a watch may be replaced by a new one, but the Stomach can only be repaired arid strength ened, and this is one of the objects of the famous vegetable restorative which tor eignteen years has been waging a successful contest with dys pepsia in all ellinates. As a specific for indiges tion it stands alone, when the resources of the pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without, art best, doing more than mitigating the com plaint, a course of this whoksome and pala table,y et powerful, stomachic effects a perfect and permanent cure, In all eases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less disordered, and upon this important gland, as well as upon the stom ach and bowels, the Bitters act singular dis t I nctuess, regulating and reinvigorating every s3cretive and assimilating orgah on which uudlly and mental health depend.
