TEE democrats of Columbia are not so
gullible as to think • that carpet bagger
Young has even a shadow of a qualifica
&ton for Justice of the Peace. He wants
to be the nominee of his party, and has
been canvassing the, Second Ward, but
with no success. He's been Managing
other peoples' affairs long enough (at their
expense, too), and he is now regarded by
men of both political parties as a " dead
duck." He is hardly worth stirring up
except it be to show what a bad funeral
he would make.
TA I E Hon. John D. Stiles, Democratic
meniber,of Congress from the Allentown
District .of Pennsylvania, passers his va
cation either in doing good turns for his
neighbors or transacting a little business
on his own account—we can't tell which.
He makes use of the franking privilege to
instruct mankind iia the merits of a new
patent stove grate ; warranted to last
twice as long as any other, and not to get
clogged. Mr. Stiles is probably opposed,
on grounds of public policy, to a repeal of
the franking privilege. —X Y. Tribune.
THE New Jersey _
met in Patterson on Tuesday last to
over the prospects of the campaign of this
fall. It is said they are troubled about
theEitteentliatilendment, under which the
negro vote will be brought to bear on the
Staie'election in November. Oa the full
white vote the democracy are satisfied if
they carry the State by two or three thou-
Band majority; but , the negro vote, which
it is: feared will go for the republicans
solid,yill,be from five to six thousand.
We-suspect, therefore, that this confer
ence of the Jersey democratic editors had
reference to some.heclgiug for the negro
vote, and we look for a general movement
before long of the Jersey democratic pa
-1.41.rs towards Uncle Tom's Cabin."
IT is a matter of great interest to know
that the very last person, as we learn from
a Paris paper, who uttered the cry of
"Vive Empereur" in France was M.
Rouher, Senator of the Empire, President
of the Senate, formerly Minister of the
Empire, and always one of the most de
voteil, as well as one of the ablest, adher
ents of ,the Third Napoleon. The cry
was uttered in the Senate on Sunday, the
4th inst., two days after the Emperor's
capture, and just before the Corps Legisla
tif Proclaimed the abolition of the Senate
and the Empire, and the establishment of
the Republic. One of the Senators had
arisen and pi onounced a few words of eu
logy on the Emperor, saying that, though
he had succumbed, he (the Senator) was
still ready to cry s " Vice 1' Empereur !"
It was then that Rouher rose in a sort of
Frefich Senatorial frenzy, and cried out
again and again, " Vive Empereur !" A
number of Senators joined in the cry.;
but being very old men, and very servile
worshippers of power, their breath soon
gave out. .Roribier, however, reintined in
the imperialistic ecstacy, crying " Vive
la', ete.,'eiery now and then, till the
revolutionary storm broke over the Senate
and swept out of existence. Rouher
will certainly; least be a striking':figure
for some historical Carlyle of the future.
Tho Nathan Murder—lmportant Arrest in
Pennsylvania.
The detectives have got hold of another
clue which promises to lead them out of
the labyrinth in which they have been so
long and fruitlessly groping in connection
with the murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan.
This time light comes from the quarter
of Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. Ac
cording to telegraphic despatches at New
York it appears that about the middle of
last month a stranger arrived from nobody
knew where; put up at a hotel, made in
quiries about the Nathan murder; cor
responded with persons in New York and
received money orders from them ; boast
ed to a fellow boarder that he knew all
about the murder; knew where the "dog"
was bought, and bad it in his hand a few
minutes before the murder was committed.
These and other suspicious circumstances
about the man were communicated to the
police authorities here, and detective
Fraley was sent to Schuylkill Haven. The
result was the arrest of the suspected in.
individual, who gives his name as Kepler,
an&his private business as a barkeeper in
New York. Tnis arrest may lead to the
solution of the terrible mystery, or it may
prove another instance of the insane crav
ing for notoriety which prompts weak-mi ad
ed persons sometimes to connect them
selves with ereat crimes.
Editor
'fitt.E Philadelphia Ledger, in comment
ing on the life and character of Judge
Grier, who died on Monday, says : •
Robert Cooper (crier, born in Cumber
land county, Pa., March 5, 1;91, was the
son of a remarkable man, who was at once
farmer, minister and teacher, and an ef
fective worker in all these callings. But
it was as teacher that the Rev. Isaac Gri
er gave the most forcible evidence of his
usefulness and ability, although as minis
ter of the gospel he preached to three
congregations. He was a fine Greek and
Latin scholar, and his tv:adctny at Nor
thumberland, Pa., became so famous that
it expanded into a college. Robert Coop
er Grier, however, was educated at Dick
inson College, Carlisle, Pa., where he was
graduated in 1812. His first employ
ment was as teacher in Dickinson College,
but he was soon called home to take
charge of his father's school at Northam- ,
berland, where he taught Latin and
Greek for about two years, and at the
same time read law. He was admitted to
the bar at Bloomsburg, Columbia county
in 1817, and practiced with such success
that he was enabled to support his wid
owed mother, and his brothers and sis
ters, of whom there were ten younger
than himself. In May, :1838, he was
made President Judge of the District
Court of Allegheny county, and removing
to Pittsburg, he resided there until 18-18,
when he removed to Philadelphia. He
made so high a reputation upon the bench
in Pittsburg, that he was selected by
President Polk, at the instance of his then
Secretary of State, Mr. Difehanan, for the
vacancy on the Supreme Bench of the
United States, which bad remained unfill
ed for about two years after the death of
Judge Baldwin.
[From the German by Pros Herman Fruemiff.
The celebrated journey of Charles XII
from Bender to Stralsund which was ac
complished, partly on horseback and part
ly in a wagon, is always still considered
the fastest expedition that was ever per
formed before the age of steam. But it
is in comparison to the return journey of
Napoleon I from Smorgoni, in Prussia, by
way of Warsay, Dresden and Frankfort
to Paris in the year 1812, about in the
same proportion of speed as the slow mov
ing pendulum of a Black Forest clock is
to the quick licking of a gentleman's
waCcb.
It was on the sth of December when
Napoleon, in the desert of Russia not far
from Smorgoni, left his carriage filled with
the finest furs in order, under the assum
ed name of Duck of Vincenzo, to begin a
hurried journey in an open sleigh; trav
eling faster than had eder been traveled
before. His body-guard,in which generals
perform the duty of captains, and colonels
the duties of common officers. This body
guard was under command of Groushy,
who.suddeely lost the Emperor from their
^ , ms. All at once they saw his carriage
asked and learned that be
or the rest. He

had traveled on au...-
,
had confided all his platys and destination
personally only to the ' , King of Naples.
On the 6th a person saw a snorting two
horse team, the third horse had fallen on
the road, stopping at the residence of the
Governor of the Polish provisional Gov
ernment of Wilna. The Duke of Yin
cenzy made a short. call at the Duke of
Bassanos and then hastened forward with
fresh horses towards Warsaw. • Only the
falling down dead of several horses de-
Wined from time to time the progre,s,
which was frequently speeded on by the
words hurry'. hurry ! of the Emperor.
They reached Warsaw on the lfith,and
the 14th, exactly two o'clock in the morn
ing, the same sleigh which a week before
had been dragged out of the darkness of a
Russian peasant's shed,arrived in Dresden
and stopped before the quarters of the
Prime Minister, Count Marcolini Feretti.
Napoleon continued on his journey to
Paris, going through Leipzig and Frank
fort reaching Paris on the lfith of Decem
ber. Therefore he made the whole dis
tance from the interior of Russia to Paris
in less than two weeks. A trip like this
in carriage awl sleigh has never been made
before or since.
But the Russian sleigh remained at
Dresden and was given as an heirloom to
the son of the Prime Minister, the Count
Peter Macolini Peretti. Till the present
time the sleigh is still well preserved and
is kept at Quiersberg in Bohemia, where
the Count married the Countess of Cav
erini. Ile considered it right and proper
that this historical sleigh should be kept
from use and destruction as a memento of
so famous a journey: Little did Napoleon,
when on the Island of Helena thinking
over the campaign of Prussia,suppose that
the sleigh which saved him personally
would exist long after he and nearly all
his men had passed away, and be looked
at as one of the curiosities in Bohemia.

When an Officer can Make an 45.::rest
A party tried at the recent Court in
Montgomery county, Pa., for assaulting an
officer, made the point iu his delence that
the officer had no warrant for his arrest
whereupon the Court defined the rights
and duties of police officers as follows :
An officer, as any private citizen, has
the right and it is his duty to prevent a
cri'ne with or without a warrant: and
when a breach of the peace is imminent
he ought to interfere and arrest the of
fender; and when he sees as assault com
mitted he ought to make an arrest and
follow in pursuit, with or wlihout a war
rant. Whenever the officer has •the of
f 7 cider within his. , v•ew at tho time of
committing the offence he has the right to
make the arrest with or without a war
rant. He has the power when the offence
is committed within his view, but when he
acts on the information of others he must
have a proper authority. .In this case the
officer saw the affray or fight, which was
stopped by his approach. He had the
right to arrest the offenders.

a subscription for a sword for General Mac-
Mahon: The contributions are said to have
been very liberal. A lady sends a dia
acincV; a ud,an other subscriber offers a lot of
'rains lazuli for the decoration of the sword.
One very characteristic contritiu lion is tor-

correspondent.at the seat of war, writ

other near him could only bold his hands

the Strasbourg cathedral, when ho saw a
shell fall upon the roof of his own house,
and, passing from garret to cellar, then ex

A Rochester paper tolls a romantic story
of a young dressmaker who became infatu

edge. To make herself worthy of him she
took to study, and after a severe course of
French Italian nod piano, during which
she worked at her occupation, and only
slept three hours out of twenty-lbur, the
young man married another girl. The
blow was too much for the young lady's
reason, and sue is now an inmate of an in
sane asylum.
In the meantime she thrust her hand into
her pocket, and haviti,g her knitting with

drew it forth, at the same time telling him,
with charactorisitc feminine firmness, to
loose his hold on her horse's bridle or she
would blow his brains out. This bold as
