A PEN PORTRAIT.
The Rev. McG hoe, formerly of Lock
Haven, but now of Illinois, haa been
convicted of murdoring his wifo by
poison. A correspondent of the Chi
cago Times, who took a look at sister
Paddock (tho girl tho preacher want

witness stand, picturea hor in this way
"In statu ro, Miss Rilla is about tho me

ceedingly graceful, and tho way sho

adorned with white flowors. Her lace

der that angelic form led the preacher
astray so tar that he will now be en
tertained in the Illinois ponitentiary
for fifteen years, where ho will have a
raro opportunity for exorcising his
clerical talents.
Another Verdict for Tilden. A
very aingular law euit camo off at
Goshen, Illinois, one day last wock.
The Chicago Timet states it in this
way : "Last fall, several days after tho
Presidential election, Isaao Ayres of
Elkhart, offered to bet 1100 that Til-
don and Uondricks had received a ma
jority of the electoral votea cast 8ov-
cral Republican politicians accepted
tho offer of Ay res, and Jas. F. Hunt, a
dry goods merchant, waa appointed
tho stakeholder. When tho result of
tha cloction was doclarod by Congross,
Hunt turned over tho monoy to the
Republicans undor protost, Ayres at
the time doclaring that ho would sue
him for the monoy. Ayres sued Hunt
in Elkhart and was beaten, but ap
pealed tho case to tho Circuit Court,
which came up before Judge Woods.
Tho jury, after hearing tho tostimony.
returned a vordict in favor of Ayres
tor 1100. This ia tho third caso of the
kind that baa occurred In the United
Statoa, each one resulting the same as
this one did.

one of tho most respected and popular
Whigs in the Stato. But the Know
Nothing loaven had just got to work
in both old parties and it so thorough
ly leavened them that the result not
only defied all calculation, but astonish
ed tho leaders at Its confused,eonfiicting
and frightful majorities. Pollock, Whig

giving Mott the unprecedented majori

Thi Gradation of CaiME. Somo
philanthropic Radical statesman has
revised tho definition of many ol tho
words in the criminal aonso, so as to
suit the most of cases in these Radical
times. In the catalogno are to bo
found tho following, relating to gov
ernment officials, bankers and commer
cial agents, toned down and modern
ized in this way :
Taking 11,000.000 Is called a can of gealus.
Taking 1100,000 a oue of ahortago.

Of such is some ot tbe work entailed
upon thia generation by those who
boast of the "progress ot tbe age" and
in their remodoling of society and
tho moral code. The effective answer
to all tbe claims of reforms worked
up by the new light "Christian States
men" ia tho enlargement of all our
prisons and penitentiaries, and tho
multiply ingof poor houscsand asylums.
Those facts are too potont to be ignor

Our Radical officials have lived ao
fast and extravagantly lor tho post
fifteen years, that when a Democratic
Congress met and made an appropria
tion for government expenses in other
departments s in this, the cash is all
spont beforo the year Is half over, and
they coolly shut up shop. It scorns
that our government agents know
nothing about economy. Tho best
thing the people can do ia to turn them
out and put men in thoir placos who
understand something about political
economy and just how to case the tax

weighed so heavily upon us all, until

persona aro shot,) for the purpose of
recording the result of the buttles which
are sure to follow tho invasion. Tho
boldness of the Russians is now settled,
by tho invasion of tho Turkish Empire
on both continents in Kuropoand Asia.
We have culled the following from tho
latest dispatches:
London, June 24. The announco-
mont of the crossing of the Danube on
Friday, is fully continued from Vienna.
Further particulars of tho great events
at ibrail and uulau reach here tins
morning.
The programme was adroitly plon-
notl ana carrioa out. ll nan been as
eerlained by Russian spies that tho
Turkish forces at Matchin wore in no
condition to opposo a crossing, it made
in forco, and that only straggling bands
of Bashi-Bazouks were to be mot
among the low lands along the river.
Accordingly before dawn a fow barge
loads of Cossacks wore sent across
from GalaU to Ghiacet. Tho crossing
was assisted by small Btcamera, which
Eerformod the journeys with the
argos as rapidly as possible. In this
manner a sullleient number of these
bravo horsemen were soon across and
mounted.
Thoy remained closo to the rivor,
having thoir sentries out to give no
tico of an approach of tho enomy. The
guns in tho forts at Gulatz fully cov
orod the cavalry, and tbe gunners
stood ready to servo thoir pieces at a
signal Irom the Cossacks. So far as
can bo learned, the building of th
bridge atGalatz partakes of the nature
of a feint, because the irreal body ol
troops crossed into the llobrudscha at
l brail.
Meanwhile the sumo movomont had
boon made at Ibrail. Tho barges at
mis place were not so lari-o as at Ua-
latz and many valuable Cossack ponies
eunor ion or leapou irom mem into
too rivor, but thoy were mostly saved
by being lassoed and thus towed to
tbo shore. In some instances tho
horses swain ashore at the call of their
masters, who remained on the barges.
Allor considerable delay several hun
dred mon wero landed and formed on
a grassy slope about a quarter ol a
mile from the river, the intervening
land being ao marshy that tho horses
were led over it witb irrcat uifhculty.
All being roady at both points the
tcicgrnpu was put in requisition Irom
Ibrail and a simultaneous movement
took placo, tho Cossacks advancing
with great rnpidity into tbo Dobrud-
scba.
The forco landed at Ihrail bad by
far tho more difficult tusk, lor they
wore compelled to extend thoir lines
to the utmost, while tho detachment at
Galatz marched along tho main road
and turgor paths, outside of which it
would be impossible for an enemy to
approach or to flunk them, because ol
tho marshy condition of the country.
In loss than two hours tbe two lines
of horsemen bad formed a junction,
the distunco hot ween Galatz and Ibrail,
measured on tho inside of the bend of
the river, being only eighteen miles.
Thus was formed a cordon ol Cossacks
between tbe bank and the enomy.
The prominent part which the Cos
sack was thus raado to play in the
first real aggressive movement into
tbe
onomy a territory in i'.uroiio is
worth noticing. It lully justifies all
that baa beon wriUon about tho im
portant service which he, as a horse
man, is likely to render to Russia in
tbe war. This brines the Cossack
squarely to tbe front and makes of
mm wnai me L Ulan was to tuo troops
of Prussia, "I'eclareur par excellence."
Undor cover of this Cossack cordon
tbe pontoons wore towed into position
and tho bridge at the two points were
soon laid, every plank being ready and
every man having a particular service
to perform. The Galutz bridgo was
much more easily built than the one
at Ibrail, because at tho latter placo,
on tho Dobrudscha side, tbo long
stretch of swamp land before referred
to bail to be planked lor tba passago
of the artillery. The loot soldiers did
not wait tor this ovent, howovor.
No sooner had the last plank been
laid in the main structure than tbo
mon, already drawn up in battalions,
wore ordered to prepare for the cross
ing. Eight thousand men and two
batteries ol artillery then passed over
aa rapiuiy as possible, each battalion
forming directly aflor it had reached
the diy ground. By the time tho guns
wore ready to be brought ovor pre
parations lor landing them across the
marsn were nmshod.
The enemy, in the shape of scatter
ed, irrctrular cavalry, had shown them
selves at various points, and when tho
main ooay ol troops bad lorined and
tho batteries had been placed, the Cos
sack woro ordered forward to drive
back the vidottcs.
An advanoe was then made toward
Mattchin, the ohjoct being to attack
at once, before tbe Ibroo could bo rein
forocd. The Turks woro found posted
on a range of hills to the northwest
ward ot tho town. Tho batteries
on thoso hills opened on tbe Russian
troops, and a strong detachment of ir
regular sallied out to moot their in
veterate foes, tho Cossacks. Thoy did
nut nsit a ciobo encounter, bowever,
and a few shells from the Itussian bat
tory postod on tho assailed flank dis
persed the Bashi-Bazouks and caused
thoir inglorious retreat undor covor of
tho batteries on the hills.

abuso of the wbilo race, gouerully;
and the residents ol Washington in
particular attracted a great dual 'atten
tion, and Hayes was petitioned and
personally called upon by hundreds to
remove "the gentleman from Africa."
Sinoo that tune Fred bos been trying
to correct bis blunder in various ways
by apologizing to many of his personal
friends, and upon a recent occasion,
when invited by an excursion oi color
ed tolks, near the home ol his old
master, in Tulbotcounlv Maryland, he
made another speoch reversing himself
in many particulars, Dul lulling bia
raco some plain and wholesome truths.
Had a Democrat uttorod tbe eame
words neither negroes nor loyal white
would have accepted them, but com
ing from the colored "Paul," as many
term him.they must swallow tho "hash"
however unpalatable it may bo.
Douglass passed into a oulogy of
tbo white race and its achievement,
and said to the colored people they
woro in contact with the most favored,
tho most indomitable, the most energetic
race in the world, and that As would be
faUe to An otwi race if he did not tell
themjvnt where tlwy itoedichat an im
mense distance they were Uhind the white
people. He did not beliovo the colored
poople wore tundamotitully and etern
ally inferior. " ll'e must not talk about
equality until we can do what white peo
ple can do. As long as they can build
vessels and wo cannot, we are tbeir
inferiors ; as long as tbey can build
railroads and we cannot, we are tbeir
interiors ; as long as they can found
governments and we cannot, we are
their interiors." Coming down on the
boat be noticed that tho ono hundred
colored people aboard made as much
noise as five hundred whites would
havo done, and long as thoy do theso
things tboy are interior to the whites.
"If in twenty years from now the
colored race as a raco has not advanced
beyond the point where it was when
emancipated if is a doomed race. The
question now is, will the black man do
as much now for his master (himself)
as he used to do for his old master t Do
you, my colored frionds, get up as
early now to work for yourselves as
you used to do to work for that stern
old Roman, Samuol Uambloton ?" For
the encouragomcnt of tbe colored poo
plo, and to show thorn what onorgy
and will could do, he pictured the con
dition ot tho English-speaking race fivo
hundred yoars ago, and compared it
with ine condition ot tbo race now.
He illustrated this part of his argu
ment by quoting tbe instances ot well-
known black men who had risen lo
eminence, and was quite sovore upon
frolussor John M. Iianirston tor main
taining that the mulatto is tho superior
of the black man intellectually. Ho
told tho colored people that they must
get money and koep it ll they wished
to elevate thomselves. Ono trouble
with them is that thoy always want
to be going somo w hero, and do not
stay in ono placo or at one thing long
onough to accumulate. A poor people
are always a despised peopio. To be
respected they must gut monoy and
properly. Without money thore' no
leisure ; without leisure no thought,
without thought no progress, their
preachers should tell thorn more about
what to do and Isas about what to feel.
They should not depend upon being
helped, but should do for thcmselvos.
He was lirod of Kthiopa's holding out
hor hands. The man that can gut up
would be helped to do it. They should
not depend upon tho Liord lor ovory
tbing. The Lord is good and kind,
but is ot tbe most use to those who
do for thomsolves. No man has
right to live unless he lives honestly,
and no man lives honestly who livoa
upon another.
He gave tbo colored part of his au-
dionce some of tho best advice and
soundest instruction they have had for
many a day. iho only political al
lusion he niado in his speoch waa in
saying that the Southerners could
control tho votea ol the negroes in the
ooutorn States lar more completely
than Northerners could. The colored
man turned instinctivoly for advice and
assistance to thoso who bad beon raised

EXECUTION DA Y.
The Closing arena af aa I'.renlful and
Tragic anair
THE LAW BUPREIIE.
Thursday, June 21st, was an ovent
ful day, at least in our Slate ; beside
being Ihe "longosl day or the year,"
no less than eleven men were hung for
murder. This is almost evil enough to
raise the question: Are we civilized?
The execution of six men at Pottsvillo
in one day for tho most awful crime
that man can commit, makes the stout
est hearts shuddur. The alx indicated
were hung by two's, making three
doublo executions, ibo lour mon
hung at Mauch Chunk, Carbon coun
ty, woro all swung Irom the samo
boam at once.' 1 bo single execution
that occurred on thut day, waa at
Wilkesbarro, Luzorne county, whore
Andrew Lanahan was hung for killing
John Keilly, on the 14th ot Mcptcmber,
1874. Tbe six executed at Potlavillo,
are named as follows: James Boyle,
agea iwoniy-tive years ; be Is unmar
ried. James Corroll, aged t wont v.
eight j ho loaves a wife and four chil
dron, lluch Mctioirhan was twenty
five years old, and named but a short
time previous to hia arrest. James
Roarity was about thirty-two years
old ; has been married about ten years,
and leaves a wile and lour children
Thomas Duffy was twenty-flvo years
of ago, and resided with his parents
when arrested. Thomas Munley was
nearly thirty-two years old, and leave
a wilo and three children. Michael
Doylo was twenty-seven years old and
unmarried. Edward Kelly bad not
yot reached the yoars of manhood when
he undertook his ungodly work. John
Donohue was thirty-six years old and
leaves a wifo. Hobad beon implicated
in murder long before hia Mollis Ma
guire effort Alexander Campbell waa
twcniy-eigiit, and Icavea a wile and
two children.
At Bloomsburg, Columbia county,
thore are now In jail Patrick Hester,
Patrick Mcliugh, and Patrick Tully,
murderers ol Alexander Rca, who have
been aavod from exocution on tbe 9th
of August by a writ of error. The
caso of John Koho, confined in the
I otuvuie jail, convicted of tbe murder
of F. S. Langdon, In 1S62, also comes
undor a writ of error in the Supreme
Court at the next term in Pittsburg.
ah or inose mon, excepting one, lana
han, are ao-callod "Mollis Maguircs."
In addition to these men executed or
undor capital sontcnoo, a number of
ji ol I ics have boon convicted ol lowor
grade of felony and are now in the
State' prison.
1 bore seem to be no doubt that the
murdoroua secret society that brought
those men to their horrible doom, has
been stamped out of existence. W
give below a sketch ol the Mollis Ma
guire conspiracy, a developed in tho
trials, and some account of the partic
nlar murder for which tbe condemned
men were executed, but these, It must
cret BHH iutie were jioved by patriot
ism and a desire to free a country tliey
believed to bo oppressed, while in I'enn
.sylvania tho "Mollies" Here without
a motive for oven banding themselves
into a secret society. The numberless
crime that have boon committed by
tbe latter can only be attributed to an
unnatural thirst for blood and to a
mistaken idea that through a system
of murder and terrorism, they would
be enabled to obtain power ami wealth
otherwise than through tho usual
channels. Tho term "Molly Maguire"
has only of luto years boon applied to
tho desperadoes ol tbo coul region.
Fitteen years ago they were known as
the "Buckshots," and during the draft
convortod parts ol Luzerno and Carbon
counties into ft perfect hell. Tbo as
sassins and robbers invariably oscaped
punishment by intimidation or perjury
of witnesses and jurors. Mcl'arlan,
the Irish detective who connected him
self with the order in 1873, testified
on the witness stand that tho -Molly
Maguircs was but another name for
tbe branches of tho A. U. 11., which aro
located in tho coal region. He sue.
eeedod in nhtaininnr the position of See-
retary ot a division, lie stated that
tho order had its origin and fountain
bead in Ireland.
The namo Molly Maguircs was sim
ply a transfer of tho namo of tbo wild
band of maskers who terrorized Tip-
perary and the adjoining counties of
Ireland in the days ol tba land riots
From Ireland came the pass-words and
signals issued quarterly to the subor
dinate branches in other parts ol the
world. Tho initiation is simple. Tbe
novitiuto kneels bareheaded whilo a
document callod a test is read to him.
The teet contains the general rules to
be observed. Thoy are to obey the
o Ulcers in all things lawlul, but not
otherwise, to report ll thoy hear mom
bers ill spoken of, and to koep the se
crets of tho organization. The candi
date then kisses Iho tost and is declar
ed a member. There is a national of
fice in the United Slates with head
quarters in Now York. Tho national
officers are scloctod by tho Stato offi
cers, who are scloctod by the county
oflicors, who aro chosen by the division
oflleers, who in turn are olocled by the
members oi their division. 1 ho clnet
division officer is the body master. Mo
Parlan stated, however, that tho prac
tice ot the organization in this country
was widely different from the precepts
laid down in the tost, constitution and
by laws. Punishment is novor inflict
ed lor crimes committed on persons
outside of tho ordor. On tho contrary,
such conduct is liighly esteemed, and
if a member informs on another who
has commiltod crime he is expelled.
When a momber has a grievance
against an outsider, bo lays his caso
beforo tho head of his division or lodge,
who is called the body master, and it
is considorod by his officer, together
with tho most trustworthy membors
of Iho lodgo, and those only. If tho
offender's death is determined on, tho
body master of a neighboring division
i callod on to lurnisli men to do the
work who are unknown to tho intend
ed victim, the understanding being
that the courtesy will be reciprocated
when required.
Thus tho murder ol Yost, in Schuylkill
county, waa planned, because he had
given offense to a man named Duffy,
who had been arrested some lime be
fore. Tbe division to which MeUcghan
and Boyle belongod waa called on to
furnish assassins, and did so, and in
return Duffy' division undertook the
wsrk of killing John P. Jones, the
Dansford mine boss, who had discharg
ed McGoghan, and so incurred the lat
ter' enmity, and the contract was
faithfully performed.
Such wa Mcl'arlan's testimony.
Its truthfulness as regards to practices
of the Molly Maguire throughout the
coal regions was provod by corrobora
tive testimony, and tbe confessions of.
tbe Mollies tbemsolves.

may be treated as a public duty under
ino circumstances: but the met
none the loss grounded iu the convic
tions ol the country and the world,
that tho result was revolutionized by
fraud, and that there can bo no repe
tition ot it that would not bo a death
blow to free government.
"And should Govornor Tilden be si
lent when ho is called upon to speak
by those who battled with him and
won a brilliant victory under his ban
ner? What considerations' must close
his lips ? And if he shall speak at all,
can ho do less than speak tho truth if
ho would command tho respect of
thoso who trusted and honored bun?
Certainly not. Ho does as did Col.
Forney when, iu like manner, he wus
denied a seat in tbo first legislative
tribunal of tho Nation by palpable and
perfidious defiance ol" tho popular will.
When his party had fairly won Iho
legislature at the polls, and had made
him the candidate ;for United
Slates Senator, tho Well and Ander
sons and Pilkins ol that duy woro well
personutod in Lcho, Maneorand Wag
onseller, who defrauded tho Democra
cy of Pennsylvania of their greenest
chapleU of victory as they defeated
Colonel Forney. It was done with all
the ceremony of law; it made one
whoso leadership and principles the
people had rcjoclod, a Senator not
only de facto but do jure, and he serv
ed and was unquestioned in his placo.
But was Col. Forney silent ? Did he
deem it evidence of his unfitness for
tho placo to declare the truth that.
under color of law, another had stolen
bis crown and parted his raiment ? Not
so, for Col. Forney made tbo Stale
ocuo ana ro-ccoo his burning words as
ne porirayco ine perlidy that had
made the highest gilt of a groat Com
monwealth a thing of barter in tho
legislative market-place. Tho discus
sion of tho fraud by which Col. Forney
ami tue democracy lost a Sonatorahip
was not declared an "attempt to re
opou a lruitless but exciting contro
versy," but tbo wrong was discussed
in ovory publio journal, and Cel. For
ney and his friends thundered their
anathemas against tho authors of the
wrong until they wore made strangers
among men and wanderers from tho
place which had honored them. And
thoy did more j they mado it impossi
ble for other Iicbos and Maneers and
Wagonsellers to repeat tho wrong.

pated, tho party that loll wilh Col.
Forney pronounced the doom ot death
against any and all who should betray
their trusts, and a Slate looked on
complacently whilo tho avenging out

taught Pennsylvania that the triumph
of a minority ovor a majority by per
fidy involved a measure of infamy
that a Commonwealth could rot re
peat, and ho mado it a law that none
dare disregard. Tho Nation lias bowed
to tho same perfidious defeat of its
own will, but its trusted oracles now
teach the lesson that tho way to the
fraudulent ovorthrow of tho verdict of
the peopio is tho highway to National
