and fixed upon Hnrrisburg, as the
placo and Wednesday August 29th as
the time lor holding their Stato Con
vention. This Kahtern (Question. We have
no particulars about the Kumpean
war. It seems that tho preparations
aro going forward, so that when the
foes do moet, tho slaughter must be
awful. Tho Turks liaro made tho
blockado of tho Russian port on the
I '.kick Sea as effectual as possiblo, and
havo notified all nations of the fact.

ing jurors may learn something to
their advantago by reading Judge
Hall's opinion on that subject. Muny
persons suppose it is a trivial affair for
a jury not to agroo to a verdict, or one
or moro to recant ofter a verdict has
been agroed upon. Thoso who want
information on that subject will find it
on our first page.
A Hack Down. Tbo fact that the
Radicals of this Stato huvu for sixteon
years held their Stato Convention,
previous to tho the Democratic Conven
tion, and now fix tho time three weeks
after, is an admission of weakness on
tho part of tho majority, or rather the
ruling patty, that shrewd managors
should havo concealed. Tho breach
mado in tho party ranks of the oppo
sition cannot be healed, no difference
how long their Convention is post
poned. A fire in Montreal, Canada, on the
.'!0th ult, destroyed sixty houses at a
loss of $150,000.

The scundu! about (icneral Harrison
Allen, lato Auditor Ucncral, and bis
wife, is having a good run in the news
papers. Both had better go and hide
wilhdran from soeioty, or "go west."
True. Goorgo W. Curtis, editor of
Harper's Weekly, concedes that tho
Democrats will havo "a solid South"
in 1880, and it makes no difference
what policy Jlr. Hayes may pursue.
The fates havo regulated and settled
that question.
Postmaster General Key had the
floor long onough tho other day to announce-
that bo is still a Democrat.
Well, that may bo so; but ho keeps
mighty quocr company for a Demo
crat. It would be of doubtful proprie
ty for a virtuous man to loungo about
an assignation bouso for any length of
timo, and then proclaim that he is vir
tnntis still.
Hayes has again boon imposed upon.
Ilo appointed a fellow named Ander
son to a Cadetship, as he snpposod,
from bis Ohio homo, but now it turns
out that ho is a Maino-Louisiana carpet-bagger
of the vory meanest typo,
and had served a torm in tho peniten

Important Arrest. rittsburg, May

the St. Louis distillery when the crook

which M'Koo, Joyce and others wcro

was only recently discovered. He was

l octal Lard Contract. Tbo con
tract for supplying the government
with postal cards during the four years

awarded to the Amorioan Phototype
Company, of Now York, they having
complied with all the preliminary re
quirements of tho advertisement, and
satisfied the department that their ar

prompt fulfillment of the contract
Tho cards are to be furnished to the

jrvation becomes tho inexorable gov
erning principle of their business. Tbe
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
reached that stage of depression in the
country, that a reduction .o, wages ia
an imperative necessity in order that
its credit be not impaired, and its cap
ital imperiled. The continued pros
sure of tbo shrinkage of values, the
cessation of work in tho mining and
manufacturing regions, tho fulling off
in merchandise, and the reduced con
sumption felt In all parts ol tbo coun
try, havo affected carrying companies'
receipts moro seriously than those of j
any other combination, for the roason
that the personal and rcul property re
quired to conduct such operations in
volve an amount of capital second on
ly to that which is usod to carry on
tho government, Stato or National.
Of all tbe roads in the country, the
Pennsylvania has been the most liberal
and paternal in its action towards its
employes ol all grades. This company
has nevor had a difficulty of any con
sequonco with its manual lubor since
its existenco, while tho employos of
other oompanics havo had angry dis
putes, and destructive collisions with
theirs, causing gicat loss to tbe stock
holders and immonso cxpcnRO to tho
Stato, by way of military interference
before they were ended. This compa
ny, since its existonco, has novor been
compelled to ask tho authorities to in
terfere botwocn it and its employes,
and bus never had a gonoral "strike"
along its line. This is the proper timo
to adduce such facts ; that the cm
ploycs may bo reminded of the past,
when tho condition of businoss justified
tho company in rewarding them liber
ally for their services, so that they may
understand fully that tho present re
duction is the effect of counter influ
ences, growing out ol conditions of bn
sinessdiamctrically different from those
of ordinary prosperity. Those who
know Col. Scott, and particularly the
rialroadors who havo boen connected
with him for years, will understand
how long be has waited, and how re
luetant ho must have been to recom
mend a reduction of this kind. Ho
was forced to it by pressures to which
men less sympathetic with tho indus
try with which bo has been associated
for yours, would havo yielded long
since. Ho only gave way after ovory
test had been tried ; alter tbe regions
whence freight is usually enrried had
failed in their production, maintaining
his road in tho meantime, by economy
which did not effect its labor, so that
when this reduction came, it was bo-
cause every business consideration
mado it necossary, and no human
power could longer avert it. This the
whole community nndorstunds and
appreciates, and this thoso who aro di
roctly affoctod by Col. SScott's last cir
cular, should accept cheerfully as the
ruling of inexorablo financial condi
tion."
Tub WnicKto Sibameb. Particu
lars of the loss of tbo Tacific Mail
Steamship, "City of San Francisco,"
have been received. She left Panama
on the morning of the 11th ulu, with
ono hundred and thirty-two passengers
and one hundred and fifty officers and
crew, and a cargo valued a f 750,000.
On tho morning of tho 10th, tho atmos
phere being bright and clear, she sud
denly struck a bidden rock, not mark
ed upon any chart. She was then
about thirteen miles from land, and
her bead was at once turned toward
the shore. In twenty minutes her
fires were put ont, her hull being out
into for a length of sixty Icet, but she
ran for forty-two minutes, making a
distance of nine or ton miles, when she
grounded in thirty feot of water on a
sandy bottom. Hor passengers wore
all landed safely, though every boat
was capsir.ed whon it reached the surf.
Tho conduct of the ship's officers and
behavior ol tho passengers seem to
have been admirable. Tbesbipwreck
ed people spent tho nigbt in open air,
hut wore next day taken off by tho
gun-boat "Mexican" and transferred to
the Pacific mail steamer, "Costa Rica,"
which has touched at San Diego for
coal. The salvation of two hundred
and eighty -five persons on this occasion,
was a miracle. Thoir rescue was real
ly an accident.

"As for tho "solid South," ho is a

after seeing the course of things from
1808 to 187(3 in tho Southern States,
tbat there would not havo boon a "solid

leaders
in Beetional hostility, but that the char
actcristic sentiment of this part of tbo
country, which is Republican, recog
nises that, with the disappearance of
Biavory, mo reason tor sectional poll

poet that political leaders and followers
in iuo oouiucrn mates win suddenly
desert their pa.ty organisations and
names because the President pursues
B course which they havo lonir desired
and cordially approve. But, on tbo
othor hand, wo do not supposo that
tho Democratic leaders luw any sinis
ter poliey of vengeance, the fear of ii kieh
seems to plague some Republican minds.
It the; icere so sullenly hostile to the
Union and the Government as some Re
publicans assume, they had their oppor
tunity in the last days of February. Il'c
do not deny that great distrust of these
Southern leaders teas expressed nixm the

have been mistakeji. That there are
angry and hateful clement in the pop
ulation of the Southern Stntes. as in
that of the city of Now York and
other large cities, is unquestionable
But ho is resolutely unreasonable who
insists that tho leadership of Hill and
Lamar and Gordon and Gibson in
spired by angry and hateful passions
and pimioses because thero havo boon
persecutions and massacres of negroes
in me Bouinorn mates, jvoiiung is
plainor than that tbo perception upon
tho part of such men as we name, that
tho intelligence and representative
character of tho Republican North,
which tbey in turn have boen taught to
to distrust, are cordial and generous
and sympathetic, will tend to detach
them from tho angry and hateful spirits
around them.
No moro untimely and wretched
work can bo done than to excite Re
publican hostilty against "the South"
as A section. Our politics become
simply revolutionary ond intolerable
when one party regards the other not as
an opposition undor the government,
out as a neaalv enemy ol tbe govorn

tuen the Republican party deserved
nssTRL'CTiON LAST AiTCMN for having
lilted tho military hand Irom every
Southern Stale bnt throe.
It is easy to see now, if it wasnotoasv
during the campaign, tbat there is a
deep and gonoral impatience of tho
mere partisan gamo ot politics, nd
a rapidly growing ieehnir that the
Southern question has been often agi
tated for personal and political, not fur
humane and patriotio ends. The po
litical situation of last year could not
have continued, and the prosontsteaily,
sagacious, patriotio rather than parti
san, Administration is the most fortu
nate that the country could have had.
It cannot be justly judged by a party
victory or defeat here or there, lis
tost is not in tho sstisfaction of ardent
partisans, but in tho goncrul fueling of
the country. And what that feeling is
can not be doubted."
Tbe bloody shirt slang-whangors

Hills country, and a few days after
discovered that bo should bavo sent
tbo follow to tho penitentiary, instead
of handing him commission to plun
der the people, be at once canceled the
govornmont document, and sent Bon's
nepbow adrift. Tho day after, a dis
patch was cooked up at Washington,
and sent over tbe wires, to the effect
that "Undo Ben" had called on Hayes
and complimented him for his act, and
that "the Presidont had acted very
properly" in removing nephew (Jeorge,
Unole Ben has since written a lcltor,
the tone nf which Is not In harmony
with the telegram Indicated. How
ever, Radical sooth sayers may be able
to see tho oonduct of Hayes and Ben

Tho new postofftco at llarrisburg is

THE OUTRAGE Mill.
A bad negro murdered another no- j

ibiBtnigedy has given new hfo to the their motives must necessarily bo pa
bloody shirt vonders, who seem to trintic! If those two Colonels Mo-
think but vory littlo about tho crime; Clure and Forney aro not patriots,
when a murder is committed in Penn
sylvania or anywhere elso here in tho
North. Tho editor of tho Philadel
phia Times in alluding to tho deed snys :
"What a luxury a murder down
South is to tho average organ. To
puonsu iuo iriitn atiout it is just w hat
tlio oriran never thinks of. and no mat
ter how patent its awkw ard folly may
becomo, it sticks to it all tho mora
tenaciously. A black man named
James Laws was killed in Kast Felici-
ana Parish, Louisiana, a lew days ago, !
and it has boen worked up with all 1
tho dramatic polish of tho Klir.a Pinks-1
ton tragody, just as if tho election was
still going on and tho bloody shirt was
me Danner under which all bad to
worship. When tho truth is ascertain
ed it turns out that Laws was killed
by a brother of hi. own complexion
to aventro a real or sn,.,...,l nannuli i
upon tho honor ol the wile of tho man j
who slew him; butlho organs can't
pause about, such trifles when thoy
havo an outrago on band, and they
breathe fire and fury against tho whole
South becauso one black man kills
another black man ovor tho disputed
possession of a black woman. And
tho work of firing tbo Northern heart
is no longer done undor cover, The
New Orleans Republican, tho bloody
shirt organ of Louisiana, boldly an
nounces that tho particulars of tho
Laws murder have been forwarded 'to
General Butler for cnmiiaicn use.'
Doubtless Butler would drnmatir.e tbo
story but for tho reason that nobody
could bo induced to believe it. The
organ will pipe and shriek about it, as
uioyoici over Uelley's 'toothless bubo'
torn from Eliza Pinkston's breast, but
tlio ponplo ol all parties understand
that the outrage mill bas had its day ;
that the election is over, and Unit

I.x A Horn. A week ago tho tele
graph was burthened and tho Radical
press electrified ovor the news of tho
political nssassination of P. Laws, a
prominent colored Louisianian, by a
largo "Democratic mob." Tho bloody
shirt mourners wore, as usual, too pre
mature in their expressions of holy

a band of men and that tho tragedy
was tho result of a family feud grow
iag out of a divorce suit between Laws
and bis wife. Tbo murderer is in jail,
land will be Justly punished for his
crime.
Another Conversion. Tho editor
of tho Lara Gate City, a leading organ
of the Radical persuasion in that State,
has been abusing Hayes' Southern pol
icy uwfully over since "the govern
ment" ordered tho troops to their
proper place. About ten days ago ho
vory miraculously learnod that Provi
dence had matlo LTuycs President, and
sinco then docs not trouble himself
about that "policy." Hid that revela
tion alarm tho man, or was it a post
ofilco appointment tiiat cured the evil.
Wo know that fools never change thoir
views, while great men undergo fro-!
quent changes, but it's best not to be
too quick about it.
A Rem a kaiile Conversion. Decor-
tmn day extracted tho milk out of
many n Radical coeoannt, and some of
tho very worst of tho "bloody shirt"
campaigners wero tho first to aurron-
ueruieir vue views, cnioi ol whom was
Col. Forney, of tho Press, whose read
crs wcro regaled last full with tho
most malignant articles which appear
ed in any opposition journal. Now, he
dwohs upon tho "Blue and (.ray" and
demands "reconciliation and forgiv
ncss" in prose and poetry. Col. For
ney's conversion is as sudden as that
of tbo editor of llarier's Weekly
"Journal or Civilisation (!)" We hope
both will 'stick.
Overroard. The chief clerk of the
paymaster's department who was re
moved by Don Cameron when ap
pointed Secretary of War last summer,
has been restored by Secretary
M'Crary, and Cameron's man has boen
dismissod. Cameron Influeiico seems
to be dying out in Washington, al
though it seems to bo improving
throughout this State. The fact that
tho Radical strongholds refuse to pass
resolutions in thoir county conventions,
endorsing Hayes' policy, is conclusive
that all is not right Inside the Radical

TiieNewSciiooi,. Kx-SonaUirCam-eron
has recently written a letter,
which has boen made public, in which
ho calls tbe "new school of politicians"
Hayes and bis Cabinet, Stanloy
Mathews, and others of that orow
"men who iudulgo in modish sonti
montalism and cowardice, calling that
statesmanship." The old man is mad
al these lellows, wlio, lie Bays, "so
about sneering ut obsolete courugu and

read much like tho old man's, though
there is lio doubt ho lias a hearty con
tempt for tbe new school, and if he is
re)onsiblo for it, we suspect the Pa
triot (which thinks ho didn't write it)
is correct in thinking bo only put his

by ono ol "thorn literary fellers!"
"G'LANri." Tho rivalry between tbe
editors of tho Philadelphia Times, and
tbo Press, to become "tho govemmont
organ" in that city, continues with
unabtilod vigor. Wo hope tho ware
faro waged on tho part of those two
valiant Colonels will be as bloodless in
the lutiii'o as it has been in the past.
If a four years war waged while both
were in the prime of life, and both

A New Version. It bus been uni
versally conceded that the Louisiana
Reluming Board and Bradley and
Strong, foisted Hayes into the Prosi-
dential chair. But some Radical Pil
grim has token a trip down South and
there met that '-bloody handed rebel"
Longslreet, and bo informed tlio gen
tleman from Iowa, tbat Providonco
did il. Now, if tho General tells the
truth, bow can tho ense bo reached by
a writ of nuo imrranto, or any other
precept? tien. Longstreot's story put
a now fact on tho oaso, but it will
not cover the fraud by shilling the
responsibility.
A Bit op Irony. Tho Sclinsgtwvo
limes man in alluding to the material
for candidates for tho Stato offices this
fall, edges in in this way : "Clinton,
Centre, Allegheny and Erio counties
can furnish all tbe candidates tho Dcm
ocralio party needs, aod tho Democrats
in othor parts ot tbe Stato need not
troublo themselves about hunting up
candidates. In case these counties
cannot moot the domandsof tbe market,
a tow others might be counted in, say,
Clearfield, Montgomory,Columbia, Lu-
lorno and two or threo others. But
Clinton, Erio and Allegheny we judge
will suffice."
Tho York Jktily says: "A gentle
man from the lower end of tho county
informs us that several nights ago a
party of flvo or six young mon in dis
guise entered the house ol a colored
man by the name of Charles Hartman
and look from bod a woman named
Elisa M'Cinloy, who was kocping
house for Hartman, and dragged hor
out of doors and disrobed and tarred
hor. In attempting to protect her Hart
man was knocked down with a club,
and the villians made thoir escape."
The woman wore a white skin.
A Patriot's View. (iov. McCroary,

They Grin and Bear. The Cham-
bcrsburg Valley Spirit says : "To do
them justice wo must say that the Ho
publicans in this section are doing
their boot to swallow Hayes' Southern
policy. It Is a hard job and thoy must
be excused for gagging a littlo. Rye

besides being a gentler purgative, but
a politician would have to die young

DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN TlAI UtB Ol'
FRENCH f ROM THE 1IITE Or A Cl'R.
Hartford. Conn., June 1. Tho
first recorded case of hydrophobia in
this city for thirty years terminated
latttlly yesterday. On tho 30th of last
April Professor Victor Alvergnat, a
teacher of French, was severely bitten
by a vagrant dog that he attempted to
drive from bis oflice.- The wounds
wero soon aflorward bathed witb car
bolic acid and cutiteriied as a precau
tionary measure, bydrophobiu being!
apprehended hoth by the l'rolessor
and his friends. The former was con -
of authority on tho subject be i closely
read everything relating to mad dogs
and tho dread disease. Letteis also
poured in upon him suggesting remo
dies of various kinds, until tho mind of
tho Professor, who was natiirully of a
voibuib leni.ierameni, was woraeu up
iu u'K" piicu ot nervous excitement.
As time passed il was hoped thut
tho danger was over, but on Monday
of this week be experienced an op.
prcssivo feeling and difficulty in swal
lowing, accompanied by depressed
spirits. Water was repulsed, but he
would lake ico it placed in small pieces
in his mouth, while his food was limit
ed lo beef tea, and milk, owing to ihe
exertion required in tho swallowing of
solids. J uesdsy witnessed an increas
ed weakness of body and greater ner
vous excitement, and bb the hours
passed tbe sufferer rapidly grew worse
until early Wodnesdny evening, when
ho was seised with terrible convul
sions. Ho made repeated attempts to
(lur.li his head against the walls of his
room and sprang at his attendants,
sometimes spitting at them. Filially,
by the aid of four strong men, ho was
placed in a slraitrht jacket, and mor
phine and chloral were administered
with beneficial results. Other convul
sions, but somewhat less severe, occur
red at midnight, after which tho vic
tim lingered along in a state ol semi
consciousness until a quarter to ten
A. H. yosUirduy when ho expired.
The physicians who attended the
unfortunate man differ as to the nuture
of tho disease. Somo persistently claim
that all the symptoms wero Ihoso ol
hydrophobia, while others believo that
tho disease was merely of a nervous or
Hysterical nature, growing out of the
excitement occasioned by conversation
ana reading on the subject ol hydro
phobia. From tbo first ho stubbornly
refused to take any of the remedies
recommended, and alter the disease
finally manifested itself tho physicians
wore unable to check its progress. Tho
dog, which was shot on the morning
lonowing tno oiling, was a commou
yellow cur, and exhibited no symptoms
oi madness.
A port mortem examination was made
yertorday afternoon, which was vory
largely attended, l'he rigor mortis was
extremely marked, ana there w.w con

and tho spinal cord, but not to a suffi

Dencvoa to havo resulted from hydro-
