Just So. Harpor'g Weill y remarks:
"Tho alleged offer of certain great
missions to certain great States, leav
ing tho Boloclion of the ciiiidiilulo to
tho Congressional delegations from
those States, is incomprehensible In a
reform administration which proposes
tho Congressional initiative in nomina
tions. "
JIestowino tilFTS. Mr. II ay on has
givon a present of a gold pen to the
negro noprcsentativo, liainoy, of South
Carolina. Tho occasion of tho gift
was its signature of tho Picsidenl's
name for the first limo to a joint reso
lution of Congress, which was convey
ed to him by Mr. ISaincy on Saturday
a week.
A. Clean Jon. (Jen. AleClellun's
plurality for Governor of New Jersey
is 12,031, and bis majority over Rad
icals, (ircenbackers, Prohibitionists,
Tax payers and all, is 0,172. This
certainly makes Jersey solidly Demo
cratic. A majority of over 0,0(10 over
the combined opposition is something
to bo proud of.
Among tho evil ot Chinese immigration are

rosy. Heveral cases were reported in Ban Fran
eiaeo a few dayo ago, nod now comes a story
that the loathsome Utaeaee has reached New York,
where B number of persons are eutTering with it.
It were better that every Chinese in Atneria should
be eremated than that horrible and incarable
Asiatie malady should obtain a fooling in this
country, Harticnl A'.rcAitaoe.
Why, dear man, it is not half as fatal
to tho liberties and prosperity of the
country as Radicalism.
Will Kepobt Aciain. When Lin
coln removed Gen. MeClcllan, in 18G2,
from tho command of tho Army of tho
Potomac, and ordered him to report at
Trenton, Now Jersey, littlodid ho sup
pose that ho was furnishing tho Jersey
ilea with a Governor. Hut it's so.
MeClcllan will again report at Tren
ton, on tho 1st Tuesday of January
next.
The Mob Ciieateh. Tho man who
was taken from tho consUtblo of Mid
dlcflcld, Geauga county, ( hio, on Tues
day last, and lynched, was taken down
anil resuscitated. His name Is Luthor
Scott. It is supposed that tho objoct
of tho lynchers was to prevont Scott
from revealing to tho authorities tho
doings of a gantr of desperadoes' of
which ho was a member.
Go Is. The best Hayes puffer that
has turned tip in Washington, sincoho
was counted in, is Col. John W. For
ney, lato of tho Philod. Prrtf, Clerk to
Congress, Secretary of the United
States Scnato, Democratic nominco for
United States Senator In 1857, etc. He
is as fulsome and agonizing on Hayes
to day, as he wus on James Duchanan,
twenty-five years ago. Kxeepting Ilab
cock, he is tho greatest office beggar,
and political leech, that over entered
the capitol.
Look On. An exchnngo says that
if Hayes again snubs tho Pennsylva
nia Congressmen, whoso opinion bo
askod on an appointment, ho will bo
forcibly reminded that ho rccontly ac
cepted tho recommendation of tho
Georgia delegation in appointing a
Democrat as a United Slates Marshal.

another prosecution lor ltlio same al
leged offence. His trial began ut
Mi'tvlville yesterday. This prosecu
tion in disgraceful. In Cumberland
county, New Jersey, there is a large
settlement of Seventh-day Baptists
w ho worship on Saturday and uliservo
that day strictly as the Sabbath. On
Sunday they may bo Been ut work in
their fields, and nobody over thought
of prosecuting any of them, though
they are surrounded by Presbyterians
Methodists, Haptists and other religi
ous people who niv strict observers of
tho first tiny of tho week ns tho true
Sabbath. In the upper part of the
same Statu is another Seventh-day
Ilaptist settlement, and,, wo believo,
another in Ohio, in which all tho pco
plo work on Sunday without tnolestn
tion. But, in Crawford county, Penn
sylvania, a single mouther of tho Seventh-day
Baptists, who is Baid to he
"conscientious" by the Meadvillo agent
of tho Associated Press, is being pros-
whole communities do in Ohio, New
Jersey, etc., with impunity. This is
tarrying sectarian persecution to a
rediculous and outrageous extent, and
again wo say it 'is timo that Senator
Jones' bill should bo made a law. We
hope it will bo passed at the next ses
sion of our Legislature."
IS A SPLIT STICK'.
Tho Radical leaders are just now
rendered nearly as unhappy aa Racksl
was, although they do not weop audi
bly, but they aro doing some cussing,
outsido of their caucuses, loud enough
to ho heard. A Washington telegram
to tho New York Timet contains this
paragraph :
" That the result of the oauouaos haa been eat
isfactory to all the Senators eannot be aaid. There
il much regret that the Preeident did not make
aome decided eoneoaeinn. and now and then a
Benator will bo found to take a gloomy view of
tne political attu&tioa and to predict that all the
conferences have done uo good."
We aro "not much " for llaycs, as
our readers are no doubt aware, but
if " decided concessions " will make
tho Iiadical family happy, why not do
inand "decided concessions" for the
leaders in tho Scnato who aro making
so much luss about Hayes' polity,
which has dono more in six months to
wipe out the bad sectional feeling en
gendered by tho war than Grant did
in tight years just becauso tho Gov
ernment is being Constitutionally ad
ministered and if continued to be so
administered must eventually produco
our former prosperity, notwithstanding
the htigo " national blessing," entailed
upon us by eight years of misrulo, be
causo the peoplo were fooliuh enough
in 18(!0 to band the management of
our Federal a Hail's over to a sot of
demagogue instead of Statesmen, nnd
the fruits of which are death, debt and
bankruptcy.
COyCLUSlVB PJIOUF.
There seems to bo something radi
cally wrong with the negro race in the
south sinco there nro till free. The
Charleston, (South Carolina) Courier,
of a lato tlatc, publishes some curious
statistics in regard to the comparative
mortality of tho whites and blacks in
South Carolina. In tho city of Charles
ton there is a ivmnrknbiu equality in
point of numbers between tho whites
and blacks. There tiro 25,982 whites
and 2li.5H7 colored. The health statis
tics of tho city show that tho total
number of deaths for this yenr, from
June 1, to November B, was 1,481, of
which l.O'-'O were colored and only 452
whiles. Tho A'eirs and Courier snys
that tiic cause of this great disparity
lies deeper than want of food, comfort
or proper medical nltendnnce. In
proof of this it cites the comparative
mortality of tho two races in tho city
hospital, where thero is an absolute
equality of treatment in every respect,
and whero two negroes tlio to one
white man. From these facts the in
ference is pretty strong that under tho
most favorable circumstances the col
ored population must eventually go to
tho wall in this country. They do not
seem to have tho vital forco to com
pete with the white races in the lati
tude of the Uuited States.
Stbanue Conduct. Wre seldom med
dlo in the business afTairs of our neigh
bors ; but wo have a word to say to
our hlk county Democrats. Tho fact
that they elected a Radical, Daniel C.
Oyster, Sheriff, at the late eloction, is a
fraud upon the party, disgracoful in
tho extromo, and we suspoct that no
decent apology can bo mado for it.
The idea of four Democrats attempt
ing to defeat one. Radical Is as prepos
terous as tho repeated effort made by
drunken engineers, to successfully pass
two locomotives on a single track rail
road, without producing a collision.
All human beings, except fools and
drunken mon, know that such things
cannot bo dono. Then, why should
sensiblomenactliko idiots ? Ouroppon
onts played the fool in a similar way,
in a number of counties at tho recent
election, but Klk is the only county
whero tho Democrats imitated them.
They may have a reason for doing so,
but we doubt it.
Fanaticism. The Venango Specta
tor says: "A Mr. Harrington, a strong
believer in Spiritualism, died near Fair
view, Krio county, Inst Thnrsday. Just
beforo he loft ho told his pooplo that
they must bury him on his own farm
and ho would como back next Spring,
fix up tlio fence and do the plowing, as
ho used to do. Il would have been a
handy and an economical arrangoment.
Tho two daughters are strong in the
samo belief and havo all confidence in
the old man's promise to ccme back
and hitch up his team fur Spring Work,
but tho old lady thinks it would be
safer to biro a man in the flosh to plow
and build fences."
Thanks. Senator Wallace has our

Directory, and other valuable publio

lluyos' vrookod way of disposing of i
bis Foroign Missions scums to yield
lilm trouble only. The Boston PottA
in utludinif to this matter, says: "The'
tronldo into wlncli lbs President was
led in tlio case of Pennsylvania and
Simon Cameron he bat only repealed 1
ono of tho leading foreign missions
was to fall to her share, and that her
Congressional delegation had but to
namo the man. - .T!a,.v.,cjei-ecl tho
eldor Cameron, and quito another per
son received the nomination. In liko
manner Illinois was informed that
another of that class of missions was
designed for her share, and hor dele
gation was summoned to pick out tho
luvorito of the State. Col. Itigersoll
was at onco named, auu tliuro is
trouble again. When tho President
appears to bo satisfied Evarls is not,
and when Kvarts appears to be satis
fied tho President Is not. Now sup
pose tho Senate, or any portion of it,
should say to tho President, as it has
a poifeet right to do, that that body
does not recognize the right either of
the Pennsylvania or the Illinois dele
gation to assist in making foreign nom
inatioim, what answer could he make
to so just a statement? And more es
pecially, what could ho say in reply it
he wore told that by thus flinging his
& p. pat lrW lap vt- iliK niltl
that Stato delegation to disposo of, bo
is not practically changing tho old
method of making appointments, which
bis civil service reform schemo prom
isod to do so thoroughly ? Tho Pres
ident really appears to believe in his
own patent for rolorm loss than those
who openly ridionlo and dvnounce it."
Infamous. The Washington Capi
tal says: "The North American Review,
in its latest number, givjs us an illus
tration of the slavish subserviency of
tho pross to the monoy-powor. This
number opons with six short articles
on resumption of specie payment. Fivo
ot these are by as many noted writers
and speakers on financial subjects, in
lading tho Hon. W. D. Kolloy and
Hon. Thomas Rwing. Wo loam from
tboso gontlomon and the publication
itself, that they were, called upon by
tha editor to furnish their essays with
in twonty-four hours, on the ground,
as understood, that more time could
not he given before tho publication of
tho Review. Tho gentlemen thus op-
pealed to burriod on their hastily -ex
pressed opinions, and now learn that
their essays wore forwarded in proof
to John Shorman, with a requost that
ho should review them, which this
elongated financial agony modestly
did. This was a trick of which a ru
ral editor of tho county printing would
bo ashamed. It is a shameful breach
of trust, that ought to fetch upon the
editor of tho Review tho just condom
nation of honorable men. Why Messrs,
Kelloy and F.wing should bo subjected
to the wrong and indignity of having
their hastily expressed opinions, or
any opinions, submitted without their
consent to the criticism of any man
makes a question wo are unable to an
swer. But tho insult is agravatcd by
the reviewer being John Sherman, a
man whoso ignoranco of financial sub
jocts is only equaled by his impudence.
Ho has not enough ability to bo called
a christian."
Uobace Ubeelet Robbed. The fuss
kicked up by the Vandorhilt family
over thoir undivided millions, develops
the fact that Cornelius Vandorbilt, Jr.,
has robbed the Greeley estate of J29,
000. Tho Now York correspondent
of tho Washington Capital, in alluding
to tho family controversy, says : "Cor
nelius, Jr., would borrow money with
tho recklessness ofa cavalry officer on
leave ol absenco, and was equally care
less of whom bo got it or his prospec
tive means of repayment. Notably he
borrowed, from timo to lime, large
sums of Iloraco Greeley, giving in ex
change his notes of hand, which valu
able relics were found among Horace's
unpublished manuscripts to tho lively
tune of :i9,000. The Groolcy girls
still hold them among the assets of
thoir father's estate, probably marked
uucollcctable and of do valuo.' Tho
Commodoro once broke into Greoloy's
sanctum in a toworing rago, after hear
ing of a loan young 'Corned' had af
fected from his good-natured old
Iriond : 'Do you suppose I am going to
pay a damned conl of that money you
lent Cornoil? ho demanded. 'Who
the hell asked you to, Commodore T
rcpliod Grcoloy, who was struggling
over hi desk wilh an editorial, turn
ing bis bonignant old face op to tbo
angry money king. The Commodoro
gave tho girls 110,000 at Greeley's
death." Tbo shame of this transaction
is that the prodigal son, who is heir in
an estato of one hundred millions of dol
lars, and yet that estate has failed to
pay the Greeley heirs tho f 29.00Q lit
erally stolon from thorn.
A Second-handed Plenipotentiabv .
-r-The Harrisburg Patriot remarks:
"Tho announcement of tho early de
parture of Minister Wolsh is accompa
nied with the further information that
the moat important negotiations be
tween Kngland and the Unitod States
will be transferred from London to
Washington. This is not complimen
tary to Mr. Wolsh. It means that dip
lomatic affairs of any moment will not
bo intrusted to bis inexperienced hands.
Mr. Welsh goes abroad to fill the plnce
and maintain its social requirements

tho llouso, from Maine Fryo, at
tempted to crucify the Democratic
door-keeper for having appointed sev
eral Confodorato soldiers to positions
under him. This, in a "loyal" point
nfview, was toboastunner. But Mr.
Crittenden, from Missouri, arose nnd
inquired whether General Grant and
President Hayes, had not done the
samo thing ; and if so, was it wrong?
This was a bottom fact and caused
Fryo to higgle and wrigglo consider
ably. Finally he rallied and said It
was all wrong. Then, replied Mr.
Crittenden, "go for" Grant and Hayes
first regulate your own family and
then reproach us if we aro found piny
ing the political harlot. Until that
point is settled, please keep quiet. Ex-
)orts only should fish with double

Nash and Minort having rosigned, a

the Democratic, candidates, tho Rad

how Grant and his thieves, backed by
tho army, conducted elections in that
Statu.
All Rkhit. An exchange says:
"fleneral (Irani la to have an nffi.-UI reception
at the handa ofthe Spanish tiovernment when he

All righ'. He richly deserves that
honor(!) No other President, previ
ous to Grant, ever stooped so low to
tho Spaniards. The King of Spain bad
'a friend nt Court " during Grant's two
tentiB. In this way: Hamilton Fish
was his Secretary of Stato, and Sidney
Webster is Fish's son-in-lnw, and Web
stcr was employed as nit attorney by
the Spanish government, at a gold
salary of 150,0110 a year to look alter
Spanish interest in tbie country. How
natural that Grant should be feasted
by tbo Spanish King for his advance
compliments to that ruler. The French
Emperor, MncMahon, paid him a simi
lar compliment, for conducting a iio
publican form of government with
soldiers nn army just as they do in
Lttropc.
Defcnct Statesmen. A peculiar

Stato of Indiana, attempted to resur
rect Schuyler Colfax, after tho demise
of Morton, and put him in his place.

exposed to tho flood, fell in about mid

have been rendered almost useless.
Tho irtin bridge at Keysur, north of

Siever & Co., furniture manufacturers,
are the heaviest losers. Their large
brick and frame finishing shop, stored
with a quantity of unfinished furniture,
was destroyed and 30,000 or 40,000
feet of lumber carried off, involving a
loss of not less than 10,000. A brick
blacksmith hop belonging to John

Norfolk, Va., November 2 1. In

United Slates steamer Huron, with a
crew of one hundred and Ibirty-four
souls, went ashore this morning about
one o'clock, off life-saving stulion No.

iho Huron left rorlross Monroe
yesterday on a crniso to Havana and
the West Indies.
Tho storm signals havo been flying
for threo days, and it is thought strango
mai mo warning should bare been
disregarded. Thoro was a fierce storm
raging all last night along the coast,
mo winu mowing at tlio rato of seven

Tho thoory of those well acquainted
with the coast is that the Huron got
caught in the height of the galo, and
while trying to bold on, head to tho
wind, her machinery gavo way, her

ashore. It appears that there was no
assistonco rendered from the shore, tho

The Watchman Giving the Alarm.
Tho pastoral letters of tho Episcopal

to threo great dangers which threaten

Is a want of fidelity to parental obli

another ia a lack of fidelity to the

THE KASTKRN WAR.
The capture ol Kara by tho Rus
sians, is the most serious loss that has
jut fallen to the lot of tho Turks In
Asia Minor. Tbo full of this strongly
fortified place annoy all Kurope
England especially. Every Russian
victory over the Turks in thatdiree.
lion, is also one over England, aud
sr. i v-.;i". vUH 't.to'ai u.v .
bow much the lirilish Lion may at
tempt to disguise the fact. A Ituasian
victory in Asia, over the Turks, is a
menace, if not also a decided victory,
over England, as well as over Geniia-'i'
ny unu Austria, because the rulers ol
tboso Empires know very well thai
Itussia haa territory and population
enough already to make them fool un
comfortable, without acquiring any
more during this generation.
The campaign at the European end
of the line has not proved as success
fill, although it looks gloomy for the
Turks. Il is true Plevna holds out,
and has successfully held the Russians
at bay ; but tho flunk movement made
by the Russian Commander and the
crossing of the Balkun mountains
again, means either strategy or an ar
rangement for a square tight on the
pari of tho Russians. '
This dashing movement on the part
of tho Russians, implies weakness on
tho part of the Turks, or they are will
ing to make ono grand effort In the
open fluid, the result of which is to put
an end to the present conflict.
It tho Russian invasion means the
acquisition of moro territory, that Em
pire will suffer defeat, because every
European gavurnincnt is satisfied tbut
thw 1'sar has onron nnuu;h to compete
wilh any of them, and no territorial
lurcony will be permitted, no difference
how successful the Russians may prove
to be, either in Euinpe, or Asia. The
jeolousy on tho part of every European
nation, is wonderful on this point. An
acre of territorial acquisition by pur
chase, or conquest by either, disturbs
all tne rest.
Tho reader will bear in mind this
fact : No difference how long tho Rus
sians and Turks may prolong this war
they never will bo ailowod to sottlo the
conflict, without inviting all tho other
powers oi Europe, to tlio council tablo,
beforo tho papers aro Bigned. Tho rul
ing families are just like so manv bad
neighbors, and neither is going to do
anything substantial in its results, un
til they know what the other is "going

Sportive. The editor ot tho Phila
delphia Timet, is furnishing the liaili
cal Senators with some timoly connn
drums. Hero is tho last one: "Wouldn't
it be bettor to put two honest men and
honestly elected Senators like Spofford
and Butler honestly into the Senate to
vote with the Democrats, than to put
in two dishonest men and dishonestly
elected Senators liko Kellogg and Cor-
bin dishonestly into iho ruinate, to be
tray their helpless friends and give
Democratic votes as the price of their
safety f Don't all speak at once?"
Here is another one: "Tho Republi
cans of tho Senate have just discovered
what an unmitigated fraud Patterson
always was, and now they propose to
hand him over to tho penitentiary
forthwith. What do thoy know about
him now that they didn't know four
years ago, when he was welcomed to
bis seat with all bis shameless venali
ty, snvo that now he has played bis
natural bunt upon his own party?"
A Riuuteovs Conviction. After a
trial of fifteen weeks, tho Hiintaingers,
Father nnd son, President and Cashier
of the defunct Miners Bank of Potts-
villc, were found guilty of all manner
of crookednoss, in their banking busi
ness. They had plundered the peoplo
of Potlsvllle to tho tuno of ovor a mil
lion of dollars. And the excitement
was so great against them that they
had thoir trial trunsfered to Berks
county. Theso rogues will now "bank"
in tho penitentiary for sonic timo to
come. Robert L. Case, of New York
has also, como to grief for his crooked
ncss as President of a life insurance
company. lie has been convicted of
perjury, cmbogaloment and other com
mercial rogueries, so numerous in theso
fast timet.
An Election Freak. The most re.
markahlo outcome of tho labor move.
ment in the recent elections was in
Luierne county, which includes tho
cities of Scranton nnd Wilkoshsrre.
Tho county last yenr gave Tildcn 18,-
395 votes and Hays 14.920. On the
Cth it gave Bentlcy (Labor Ruform)
for Supreme Judge 14,521 votes; Ster
rett (Republican) 5,395 votos, and
Trunkey (Democrat) 4,386 votes. It
will ho observed from this that the
Democrats were completely sold out
by somolrody, not visible on tho sur
face. The fact that Mr. Tildon had
18.305 votos aud Judge Tmnkcy only
4,380, ia conclusive that the sale was
not a retail ono.

Theib Waterloo. Tho voto of 32
to 30 in the Unitod States Scnato, for

and is about tho last screw needed in
tho Radical coffin, until funeral day,
which is not far off. To suffer a worse
defeat on tho floor of tbo Senate than
that which fell to the lot of the party
in the field, shows how poorly the

and exhibits a lack of statesmanship
equal to that found in a South Caro

Threo such Instances of "Executive

in this peculiar direction.
Settud Now. A Virginia Court, at
Danville, has decided that Hayes is
lawfully tho President of tho United
States. A suit was brought to recover
money bet on the Presidential ulectioni
and tho Judjo said that if the plaintiff
raised the question whether Mr Hayes
was elected or not, be would refer him
to tho decision of the Electoral Com
mission, to tho action of Congress rati
fying that decision and to the tact that
Hayes was tho de facto President. He
would not suffer the question whether
Mr. Hayes was elected or not to bo dis
cussed in uts t- oiirt. Mr. llaycs was
tho reconciled President, and conso
quently the plaintiff could not recover
tho funds. This is pretty good for
Democratic Virginia. The President's
lato visit to that Slate has soon brought
forth fruit.

gave Hayes 14,019 msjority, viz:

He thinks, moreover, that "every man
who wont down to Louisiana to secure
