XHUCONO SESSIONAL DISTRICT.
A special despatch tothe Philadelphia
Times dated llazletou, July 27, says:
The Luzerne part of this Congressional
district met In contention hcie to-day.
(Jharhsv Hehulter was chairman and
Edward Tnrnbach secretary, with Chas.
Mr Hugh as Mr. Bucltnlevv's spokesman
on tin) tloor. The only contest of lm
poitanco In' the convention was whether
tho conferrces should be for Mr. Bueka
lew or for Slorni or Klotz, Storm and
Klotz had judiciously kept in political
ambush and pushed to the front Michael
Cissidy, of JIaucli Chunk. It was
well known that the dclesatcs were for
Buckalew, and the object of the opposi
tion was to lure delegates to Cassldy by
pretending that he wanted the confer
nw and that they were not sought for
Klotz or Storm. The fruitful Dr. Krult
who nurses his wrath to keep It waim
for Mr. Buckalew, announced himself
a candidate and appealed to home pride.
Ho got a few delegates from Buckalew.
Even after the roost desperate cffoits
of tuo Klotz-Frult-Storm people Mr.
Bnokalew had a majority of three In the
convention. This was discovered in the
morn Ins on a test vote. After the con
vention adjourned the Buckalew oppos
ition met and agreed that they would be
beaten and would bolt tho convention.
After dinner the convention nominated
Mr. Buckalew and gave him the right
to select his own conferrces. Then the
opposition bolted tho convention and
attempted to set up one of their own.
The real trouble in the convention
was the boodle of the rivals and the
hatred of L)r. Fruit for Mr. Buckalew.
The anti-Buckalew faction are carrying
out the same programme in the light
that Vas adopted two years ago by Gor
man, who bolted the convention In the
same manner and contested Mr. Frlco
at JStroudsburg, but was beaten. A
delegate, A. B. Bogcrt, who attended
,tho convention to-day made affidavit
hero that he was approached by Pro-
thonotary Esser, of Maueh Chunk, and
ottered fifteen dollars to vote for Cassi-
i'y. Other similar instances are alleged
and rumors are afloat that legal pro
ceedings will be Instituted against those
who; so flagrantly violated the law by
purchasing delegates.

DROP THAT ClOARETTE!
Brooklyn Ewjle'. ''The gathering of
cigar stubs gives employment to a large
number of Italian women and children,
As a reporter wended his way home
ward early one morning recently,hc saw
an Italian lad with a bag strapped upon
his shoulders walking in tho gutters of
the streets in the vicinity of the city
hall. The boy was collecting burned
oigar ends. At dawn the public thor
oughfares are thronged with Industilous
liltle laborers, who before the sun rises
clean tho streets of all discarded cigar
stub. Until an Inquiry was made at a
local cigar store the reporter was at a
loss lo know what became of tho cigar
stubs gathered. The dealer in tobacco
said:
"You would be surprised to know the
the amount of money Italians make by
guttering cigar stubs. I do not think 1
put the figures high when 1 statu that
no less than 50,000 cigars are smoked in
Brooklyn dally. The number consumed
may be more or less, but nevertheless
the f.ict remains that nine out often
men smoke. During tho day a larger
partof the smoking is done out of doors,
and the stubs of the cigars, when whol
ly or partly consumed, are thrown Into
the gutter. Id the vicinity of the city
hall, where largo crowds of men gather
at nil times during the day, the number
of cigar stubs found is scarcely credible.
''The cigar stubs arc utilized in many
ways. After being gathered the butts,
by which name cigar ends are some
timefctiown, aro sorted and graded,
and ttm dark and light shades of tobac
co placed In separate heaps. The to
bacco In the stubs Is then pulled out and
thoroughly washed. The washing pro
cess U doue to eradicate all ashes and
burned tobacco. After the tobacco bus
been dried and graded again It is ready
for sale. Clear stubs are sometimes
made up Into a cheap quality of five-c-nt
cigars, or oftener sold to cigarette
manufacturers, who mix the stubs with
oilier tobacco." Drop that cigarette!
A Wamiixoton despatch says: Sena
tor Blair, from the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor, Monday sub
mltted a favorable report from the ma
jority of the committee on a joint reso
lution proposing that an amendment to
the Constitution In relation to alcoholic
liquor and other poisonous beverages

provides that from ami after Hie year

A despatch dated Wilkcsbarre, tho
20th Inst., says: It is staled that there
aro 20,000 mlncts and laboreis In tho
anthracite region who belong to the
Knights of Labor. Last fall an offer
was mads to get all tho miners in the
coal regions to join one organization,
the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamat
ed Association. More than half of the
men joined, but a great majority of those
who belonged to the Knights refused to
come over. Tills was very unsatisfac
tory, as It divided labor against itselt.
At a mcetlni: of th'o Executive Board of
the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamat
ed Association of Luzerne and Lacka
wanna counties, a report was read
which will nnlto the two organizations
on all labor matters. Tlicy will there
fore work In harmony in the future.
Tho report was read w 1th cheers. Tho
organizations working together are
stionger than any trades union in the
world.
The report of the chief of the ap
pointment division, Post Office Depart
ment, for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1880, presents tho following figures re
lating to changes In postmasters, in
crease in offices and the like: During
the year 3.4S2 new post offices were es
tablished, and 1,130 were discontinued.
it the close of the year there were 03,-
014 post offices, and of these 2,205 were
what are known as presidential offices.
The largest number of new offices were
necessary in Virginia, where 127 were
established during the year. There are
1,2(33 presidential offices, an increase of
32 during the year. Of these the largest
number is in New York, 210; Illinois
next, 82. The report presents the fol
lowing comparative statement of ap
pointments during the fiscal years ended
Juno 30, 1885 and 1SS0: For 18S5, on
resignations and commissions expired,
6,201; for I860, 0,112. On removals
and suspensions for 1685, 810; for 1SSC,
0,60d. On deaths of postmasters for
1885, 412; for 1SS0, 5S7. On establish
ment of new post offices for 1SS5, 2,121 :
forlSSO, 3.4S2. Total for 1885,0,547;
total for 1880, 22,747.
The sudden death, on Monday night,
of Mr. Hubert O. Thompson, Chairman
of tho New York County Democracy, is
very startling He was a mar. of great
force of character and ample intelligence
and, though for somo time, past he had
lived In retirement, Ids decease leaves a
void In the political affairs of N'ew York
city. He was the effective head of the.
County Democracy, and as such exer
cised an important Influence independ
ent of the power which hu held as Com
nilssloner of Public Works. He had a
great hold upon the people from the
cordiality of his nature and manners,
the strong common senso of his judg-
ment, and bis constant fidelity to his
piinciples and ills iriends. He was es
pecially Influential In bccuilng the nom
ination of Mr. Cleveland lo the Presi
dency; but, after tho inauguration of
that gentleman, neither he nor his
friends thought that he had been prop-
rely considered. Thcro may not have
been any ingratitude on the President's
part. On that question we have no
means of judging; but Mr. Thompson
certainly thought there was. His health
had not been good for some time past
but his deatli by apoplexy when less
than thirty-eight years of age seems as
premature as It is afflicting.

They now seek to strike, down the

disgrace to our American manhood.
George Ehret the brewer, Is boycotted,
for what? because, under oath ho told
the truth; he told no more than one of
tho prisoners would havo told if he had
been put upon the stand. No one pre
tends that he told more or less than tho
truth, and for this they seek to ruin
him. Notice Is thus served on every
citizen of tho United States that a for
eign anarchist may commit any crime
without the fear of punishment, for the
witness dare not testify, tho jury must
not convict, and the judge dare not pro
nounce the sentence.
Do these men torgct that two decades

meeting was held hero last week
where the judge, the jury, and the pros
ecuting attorney who assisted In the
punishment of the boycotteis, were
most bitterly denounced, and every one
of thetu blacklisted. One of the speak
ers advised his hearers to buy guns and
cannon, and to drill so as to meet force
with force, and further ho wanted them
to combine at tho polls, so that men
would be elected who would repeal the
laws which would Imprison a man for
boycotting that is to say, that any or
ganized pack of rascals shall be allowed
to ruin any person who will not submit
to their blackmail. If the day shall
ever arrive when this government shall
become so weak and so corrupt that it
can no longer defend the rights of Its
citizens,! hope that it may be destroyed,
and the government of a King or a Czar
substituted for it for no slavery could
equal tho degradation of a government
of boycolters.
Suicide juis become a mania; It seems
to be confined to no condition or degree.
Tho number of suicides Is greater now
than at any period within my memory.
It is only a week ago slnco a father.well
known In our business coinmunlty.killed
his young son aged fourteen, and then
shot himself. Then a husband and
wife died together, and later n brother
and slstcr,ln comfortable circumstances,
sit deliberately down and bettle all the
details of their deatli as calmly as if they
were going to a wedding. The woman
was of a strong religious nature, and a
devout member of a Catholic church,
which pronounces the Anathama Mar
anctha on the suicide. Yet sbo never
appears to have faltered from the mo
ment that she made up her mind not
withstanding the appalling aud teirlblo
consequences. It is no use to attempt
to reason on a suicide like this. The
lury gave tho merciful verdict of "Men
tal aberration." Yet, If ever man or
woman deliberately stepped Into the
shadow of the dark valley, clothed in
their light mind, It was the brother and
sister who took their lives last week.
The single eases of suicide have been
unequalled In the city's history, and
some means must bo found to stop it.
The strikes have caused a great deal
of suffering, and manv are made desper
ate by their misfortunes; and while five
thousand cigar makers arc on strike,
and it Is safe to say that they support
20,000 people. Saturday comes on, aud
there Is no wagcs.nothlng for the butch
er, nothing for the baker, nothing for
the landlord. Outside unions cannot
and will not support them long; It would
take $20,000 a week to give them each
four dollars, and that, eyen, If regulatly
paid, Is miserable support for a family.
It is a gloomy outlook for the. winter,
and If these stitkc3 continue, it will be
a winter of suffering unparalled In our
history.
But every cloud has a silver lining.
and ours are the excursions that are
taking place every day for the benefit
of the poor. Pulitzer of tlie World Is a
public benefactor in this respect. Last
year lie got tip a baseball ground for our
boys, where they could play baseball on
a Sunday, but Jersey law went for him
aud Ills protiges, and the owners of tho
ground barely got off with a heavy fine.
This year ho Is giving excursions to poor
girls.
Speaking of the World there Is a live
ly duel going on between tlie U'orW
and tho Star, which Is more amusing
than edifying to outsiders. The Sfur
pretends to look down with lofty scoin
upon Its colossal neighbor, and the edi
tor In chief "of the World has Indulged
in some of the vlgoious Saxon which
made him famous in St. Louis, and
which caused a murder Inlils office, tho
editor himself just escaping the gallows
by a neck. The fight between tlicso
rival Democrats promises to disrupt the
party, the attack on Mr. Dorshelmer by
tho H'orfrf last Sunday being exceeding
ly savage and uncomplimentary. The
constant attacks on the administration
and Its arrogant dictation have given
offence to tlie great body of the Demo
cratic party In New York city, and they
are now tluowlng their Influence In
favor of tho Stur. Tho attack on Gov
crnor Dorshelmer, who Is always a gen.
tleman, Is a disgrace to New York
journalism.

Somo of Klunder's bills were enormous,

Mil. Editoii: The Senate has passed
a bill authorizing the District Commis
sioners to condemn the property along
IfockCieek, which is the dividing line
between tho cities of Washington and
Georgetown. Tho land condemned will
be converted into a public park. The
bill provides for tho condemnation of i
tract of land 1,000 feet In width, lyiii:
on botli sides of the creek, beginning at
Massachusetts Avenue and extending to
the boundary lino of the District. That
portion of the valley or gorge above the
city, Ewlilch It Is proposed to include
within the limits of tlie reservation is
admiiably adapted by nature for a park.
and is capable of being converted, at a
comparatively small cost, into one of
the finest of tlie already numerous at
tractions of the National Capital.
A party of thirteen Apache Indians
have been here during the past week,
and have had several Interviews with
tho Secretary of the Interior upon tlie
subject of tho proposed removal of tho
tribe from the San Carlos reservation
Onu of the old chiefs acted as spokes
man, and spoke In tho Apache dialect.
which was interpreted Into Mexican by
an Indian half-breed, and then Into
English by an American. Tho Indians
stated that they wanted to remain upon
tho reservation, Instead of being re
moved to the Indian Territory. The
Secretary said be would consider what
bad been said, but the Government was
determined to put a stop to their raids
and depredations. Tho party Includes
Chaco, one of the most famous chiefs
of tho Apache tribe. This Indian Is the
one who gave Gen. Crook so much
trouble In lSSUt but was finally cap
Hired by tho late Capt. Crawford. It is
charged that Chaco was the llngleader
In the murder of the family of Capt,
McComas, near Silver City, In New
.Mexico, extended accounts of which
were published at the time. In addition
to these crimes It Is said that he has
been Implicated In more than fifty mur
ders of a similar nature. It was not
until the party reached Washington that
Secretary Lamar knew that C'baco was
a member of the party, and when the
fact became known a member of Con-'
grcss from Kansas went to the Secretary
and requested that ho be detained and I
tried for his crimes. The Secretary, '
however, repllrd that he, with -the rest
of his party,had come hero under prom-
iso of protection, and he could do noth
ing but send hint back to the military
supervision, under which ho has been
during the past three years.
Second Assistant Secretary ot State
William Hunter, who died at his resi
dence In this city on Thursday last, was
ono of the oldest and best known men
In the employ of the Government. He
was eighty-one years of age, and was
the oldest official ln the scrvlco of tho
United States, having been appointed a
clerk ln the Stato Department In 1829,
when Andrew Jackson was President.
There was probably no person whose
knowledge of tho diplomatic moves of
the. Government was so thorough as Mr.
Hunter.
The fact that a great Interest Is taken
by the public In tho Senate's disposition
of the Payne election case was shown
by the unusually large attendance upon
Wednesday and Thursday last during
the discussion of the case. Senator
Logan's speech, which has been so ex
tensively commented upon by tho press,
Is considered lo havo been the ablest
speech delivered upon the floor of the
Senate during the present session.
Tho oleomargerlne bill passed the
Senate on Tuesday, after reducing the
tax to two cents a pound. The Senate
amendment was concurred ln by the
House on Friday, and tho bill now
awaits the action of the President.
The President in company with Sec
retaries Bayard and Whitney and Priv
ate Secretary Laraont, spent two or threo
days at Albany In attendance upon tho
bt-centcnnlal celebration, returning to
Washington on Friday,
The movement, which was com
menced a few weeks since, with tho
view of establishing a workingmon's li
brary In the central portion of the city,
is meeting with general encouragement,
and upwards of $3,000 has been pledged
by citizens. It Is intended that pleasant
and well furnished rooms shall be pro
vided, where a worklngman after bis
day's toll may find pleasant recreation.
Tho political fences throughout tho
country arc said to be In a very bad con
dition. Tbo fall elections promise to
mako many changes in tho House.
There are a few members who can como
to Congress as long as they want to, and
who will avail themselves ofthonilvi
lege, but there will be a pretty general
shaking up among the majority. Many
representatives have already declined
renominatlon, and some bate failed to
be renominated, and manv more will be
beaten. But few have as yet received
lenominatlon. The Piesidenl's order

there will bo many changes. It Is I in
possible, lo learn tho names ot all who

Arrangements have been made for a
special meeting of the joint committee
on the library of the two Houses on
Monday evening to consider the subject
of the proposed exposition in Washing
ton In 1880-02. The members of tlie
citizens' committee appointed to wait
on Congress In connection with the pro
ject win meet with tlie committee on
the library on this occasion. Itesponses
favoiing the commemoration of the dis
covery of America and the adoption of
the federal constitution by tlie holding
of tho proposed exposition at Washing
ton havo now been received from tho
Governors of thirty-eight States and
Territories, from the chief municipal
officers and leading members of manu
facturing and commercial organizations
in nearly cyery important city in this
whole country, nnd also from many per
sons engaged In large business enter
pilses. All of tho members of the Sen
ate committee on the library are favor
ably inclined, and it is believed the
members of tho House, committee will
not be less so. Advices have been re
ceived from all of the Spanish-American
States, Indicating deep Interest, and
giving assurances that the gnveruicnt of
all these States will co-operate heartily
in making large exhibits of their pro
ducts and manufactures.
It has been suggested that New York
was anxious to have an exposition com
memoiatlng the adoption of the consti
tution, but It Is now understood to be
generally admitted that the capital of
the country Is the only proper place.and
New York can have its glorification oyer
tho event in the shape of a grand ban
quet and perhaps, an appropiiallon for
a monument. All tho information
which comes hero Is to the effect that
the people at large are enthusiastic over
the Idea, and are anxious for their Sen
ators and representatives to initiate
piomptly such action as will be neces
sary for the complete fulfillment of the
scheme. With attractions of the kind
proposed the patriotic spirit which will
bo engendered and the cheap excursion
fares to be offered by the railroads there
Is no doubt that the crowds drawn to
Washington will more than double, the
attendance at Philadelphia in 1870. II

THE CONQRESSIONAli C0NVEHTI0N.
From the llazletou rialn Speaker, 28tli.
The 1'i.ain SrEAitnn stated on Mon
day and again on Tuesday that a majority
of the Congressional Convention had been
elected for Sir. Buckalew. Tbo events
of yesterday prove conclusively that we
were correct in this statement. Tho
convention met regularly and bv the duo
and regular action of a majority of its
members named and nominated Sir.
Buckalew for Congress. A minority
organized a rump convention and went
through the empty forms of putting the
Commissioners Clerk of Carbon County
Siichael Cnssidy, In the field. We mean
exactly what wcsay,wlien wesay plainly
that this bolt and rump convention were
broughtabout in pursuance ofadcllberato
plan in which the corrupt use of money
was the moving force. This community
lias Known ueorgo v. rscr, the Pro-
thonotary of Carbon coimly, us an active
Democratic politician, hut his Intcsritv
lias not hitherto been called in question.
The affidavit of Sir. Bogart given else

tailed in tho affidavit aro shown In the
criminal proceedings likely to follow,
Mr. 1'j-i.er will hayeonly himself to blame
if thenceforward ho is classed among the
lower orders ol men. UI course Mr.
Esser had copartners, and oneof the most
active of tlicso wo designate for the
present as a prominent citizen of llazle
tou. This local stalcuian contributed to
the result two delegates in tiio boromrli
and Captain Day in the Township, but
lio is in a great degree responsible for
yesterday's work, and this responsibility
...;n i. t.!- , , , i
w in ifu laiu iipuu ma snoimicrc, in ii uay
or two, in a manner not to bo mis
taken. We mean that the exact situation
yesterday shall bo understood. Mr.
liuckalewwas supported by lliedclegites
from the townships north of the Nosco
peck Slnuntains. lo wit; by the delegates
from l'Virmount, Huntingdon, New
Columbus, Salem, Nescopeck, Cony-
nelnim. Hollenliatk, lo in all: by the
delegates from Sugarloaf and Butler, 2 in
number; by the delegates from Buck,
Bear Creek and lute Haven, 4 m
number, by Sir. McIIugh, of Foster: and
by six of tho delegates from llazletou
borough; 28 in all. The opposition was
composed of 25delcgatcs, ol which Dr.
Fruit contributed three, to wit: Fred.
Sleier and George Koeliler of this
borough, and Frank Day of the township
ol Ilazle. Sir. Cassidv's 2 men were the
following: Barney Kerrigan, Philip
Mellugh, Michael Fallon, Lawrence
Kai ley, Hugh SIcKcnna, John Dugan,
Patrick Donohiie, Frank Gallagher,
Christian Wicjmnd, Patrick Lavmey,
Michael Aulnn, Daniel O'Donnell nnd
Michael Quiniiin, of Ilazle; John Gal
lagher, Daniel Crai". John O'Donnell,
Con. O Douncll and W. F. Boyle, of
roster; lUrnevDliarpo, ot .leudo; .nanus
Brennan,of 1-rccland; Slitthew Long, uf
llnzloton, and Mr. Dinneny of Black
Creek Township, 25 in all.
Thcs3 Twenty-two men belong to
the same nationality, and, it is no
longer concealed to the samo society, as
Sir. Slicheal Cassidy; and their vote for
Sir. Cnssidy in tho minority convention
was in exact pursuance of a purpose
openly announced as early as noon of
yesterday. In other and plainer words
these men with then- eyes wido open
knowing themselves to lo in the ninioi
Ity, openly bolted the convention and
organized one of their own, being aided
and abetted by Dr. Fruit's three friends,
Slessrs. Krcd SIcicr, Georgo Koeliler and
I-ran it Day.
Now, all this murines? was connected
with tho nominating of two men, to-vv it :
Charles II. Buckalew and Siichael Cas
sidy. The onu has been a Senator of tho
United States for six years from the
State .of Pennsylvania ; it Senator at
Ilarrisbtirg for three full terms and half
of a fourth term: Minister of the'Unitcd
Slates to tho llcpublio of Kmwirior bv
appointment of President Buchanan ;
member, and tho leading member, of the
Constitutional Convention ; tho foremost
statesman, liv common consent, in all the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
oilier man is llie clerk of tbo Cctinty
iomnu--stoncrsol i arunn (.utility: neither
moiv nor le-s. That a clear majority of
the delegates voted lorhcnatoi- liuekalcw
was to be expected. But it is a matter
of profound interest an 1 importance that
twentv-five men could bo induced to vote.
for n man absolutely unfitted for the IukIi
office of member of Congress. Of course
the purpose to bolt and break up the
convention was early formed. The men
from Maueh Chunk who brought the
boodle, eame here lor no other purpose.
If the niaioiity in favor of Sfr. Bucka
lew had been ten instead of three, the
bolt would havo taken place all the same.
Two years ago .Mr. Price had thirty-one
votes and Oorman nad ten votes, but
none the les a bolt look place. Bui
what word ol'cxcuso can be urged in be
half of men who for corrupt purposes
come into and t-eck to break up the n in
vention they are powerless to control.
Wo speak to men who we know will
understand us when wesay that all this
business will have an impo'rtaut and per
haps decisive influence on the Legisla
tive and County nominations. It is idle
to attempt lo disguise tho indignation of
a great majority ol llie democratic voters
over the result of yesterday's business.
There may not be a great deal said, but
at the polls tlie voters are certain to re
pay with interest the malignant and
senseless course of tho minority, and
particularly, if tiieir unwise course is
persisted in.
Mr. Bsckiilew having now Hccured the
eonfeiees from Montour, Lackawanna
and Luzerne, would it not be well for
Carbon to give him her conferees, and
thus mako Sir. Buckalew's nomination
certain ho is the fittest as he Is un
doubtedly the best qualified for the
position,
