Ile said, further, but requested that his name should net be mentioned, that lie thought the day would cotne when the colored people, whose numbers are rapidly increasing, would form se large a portion of tlie population of tlie south that they would demand the political power in their local f;everunienls that they considered their iiuiu icrs entitled them te. It could net Ihj ex pected, he said, that the whlte peeple would consent te black rule, mid thou the national government would be compelled te grapple with the subject.

The federal government can, however, net be accused oflgnering altogether the claims of the colored peeple te olllce in the Seuth. They are found In snug positions In many localities.

All Asseclaled Press dlspiileh from Chatta nooga, Tennessee, dated January 7lh, has the following te say about A. 1', Hawthorn, a resident of this city : Several months age A. I-'. Hawthorn and wife eatne here from Lan caster, li., mid stepped at a fashionable hotel. Hawthorn clalmud te representmi extensive facility or paints In Pennsylvania. He has been living high and became Intimate with the leading young men of the town, Monday night he sought several of his cenlldentlal friends mid claimed le he In need or funds. He gave them checks en a Limeasler, Pit, hank and by tills means secured a large sum of money. A telegram has reached the city that Hawthorn's cheeks are worthless mid that he Isan liunniter. He left the city sud denly Monday night for Cincinnati and was arrested hi that city yesterday en n telpgram. It Is said that he procured soveral thousand dollars in Chicago ami St. UutW In the same way. Hawthorn Is n one-arined man mid with his brother has been engaged for severul years In tlie manufacture of a roellng paint, llonppem-ed te den large business ami up te iitKiut ii year age had plenty of money when here, which was seldom, tut he was en the toad a greater portion of his time. In the summer or IS), n young woman, residing in this city, loll iilxmt the time that Hawthorn went en ene or his business trips, and Mrs. Hawthorn, who suspected that the woman had gene away with her husband, made complaint against the mrtles before Alderman l-'orduey. She charges! llie woman, who Is known here as Kiln Hohmer, alias lepcrlhig, with bigamy and adultery, and her liusliauil Willi adultery. These csisn were stilisrqucutly withdrawn, Mrs. Haw thorn appearing at tlie magistrate's olllce and slating that she was uuahle te piove the mar riage of the woman mid that she learned thai tlie adultery was committed in another state. Hawthorn lived with his wife Ter a short time after this, hut became llnaclully ein bantssed and his property was Dually sold at slinrlil's sale. The woman who is new with him Is I ml loved te lm Miss ICepiwrling. She was In this city visiting friends nlxiut a month age, but left aftpr a short stay. Hawthorn Is a readout of this county and went Inte tlie army in the llrst reserves. Ile lest part of Ids arm in u battle ami was dis charged from the army In lMTi He went West nfter the war, get Inte seme treuble In We-st Virginia, nml returned home. A war rant and icquisltlen charging him with for gery was sent here in STi, and he wits ar rested mid sent te Wist Virginia for trial. He managed te get that ease llxeil up, but severnl years later Chief Deicliler received In formation that Hawthorn had net llxeil thing's Recording te premise, mid that if he overcame Inte that state he would net get nwiiv in n hurry. Hawthorn ' lira are plaintiffs in a suit brought against Hubert 12. llruce, set for trial en I'ebrunry -d, hi our common pleas court, te recover damages for an Infringement en the trade mark for their reef point, hut A.

Thursday afternoon a fox chase took place at the hotel of Jacob Hair, in tlie village of Wllliamstown.I'ui-adlse township. There was a very large crowd present, fox hunters old ami young being en hand from all parts of the county. Many of these were hotel kee ers, who eaine te see the sport and give their brother in business n lift. Tills city was well represented by the levers of sixrt. The whole neighborhood seemed te be excited ever the event, mid llttle knots of men and Uiys, and even women, could be seen stand ing en the hill tops In every direction await ing tlie "let down" of lleynard. Mr. llalr Is the sssessoref no less than half dozen foxes, all of wliich were in ids cellar yesterday af ternoon where thev were seen and closely examined by tlioseln attendance at the chase. The ene wliich was dropped had been caught In the uoighlHirheod some lime age, and was a iHiiiitiful specimen. At half past three o'clock he was taken te a sisl Held In tlie rear of tlie Inim and started, l-'or a short distance lie ran in an easterly direction but seen turned towards llie west and then south, When last seen he was going in an easterly direction, through tlie valley. It was preliabty a half hour borero the dogs, which had been making a great deal el noise in tlie stable, were let Iixme. There weie probably llfty lieautlful looking animals in tlie aek, aud'tliey presented a line sight as they ran along the hills. The number of horsemen was very large and, although llie reads were in terribleeonditien, the riders succeeded in keeping in sight or hearing of the dogs at all times. After the dogs had followed the trail of lteynard for seme time tlieycameareuuil and crossed the railroad track, en their way east near Ktuzers. They had lest the trail, and whlle our rperter was there did net again timl It. The fox was net caught, and It Is believed that he went towards ltyers tnwn. I'r.r.s ash costs.

He did net eonie te run nuyhedy down,but te show that men who published the history of the United Stalei had it right te ; man has n perrect right te make any " dispomre" or his Isxly that he sees fit, as this is a free country and every ene Is equal. The Isxjk, (the lllble), says nothing te tlie contrary. Someof the church peeple spe.de as though cremation is forbidden, hut if any pastor tells that. It Is n falsehood. " Dust te dust and itshes te ashes" wits recommended by Wesley. New, If a lmdy Is put Inte the ground it will turn le dust, but never te Lilies ; there Is no history In any lxek of an nsh iiilne being dug ; there is nothing In the United States history about it, and If all tlie grave-yards are searched the dead lienes will Ik) found. Tin: iiisTnnv of ciikmatiex. Cremation was llrst practised by ancient nations. Three that did net were 12gyi tlaiiH, Hebrews and Chinese. It was practised in Kiiglaud, Helland, Scotland ami in Asia. Whorever it was llrst practised, we have n right te de It IT we want te. In looking ever tlie ways and forms cremation is found te be a simple thing; If our souls are net right we will go square te hell ; se what Is the difcronce whether we are burned or net? There Is nothing disgraceful or dis honest nlHiut cremation. It matters net after death what lioeoines of the UmIv. Alter n tree Is cut down it is geed rr nothing but burning; cremation does net prevent pro gression! theso desiring it have n right te it, as they have been created te de as they pleiisc. On "Hesurroctieu day the Issly will cotne together whether it lie in ashes or in dust, "It must rlse again." Cremation is only Ter these desiring it, It is net compulsory ; whether we are burned or buried there will Imj enough left te dispose of us; cremation was practiced under the "Mesaical" laws and It would be better II lliose laws were In effect new as there would net be se much use for peer heuses, jails, Ac. l.very thief was bin ned then mid If that rule would !h hi eii- eratien here many of you would be sucking sorrow. Till! SAN1TAUV AlUlt'.MI'.NT. Cremation was also practiced te prevent disease from spreading; it would have been Isitter If that method had been used when the small iex visited Lancaster several years age; there would net have been se many deaths. Small jxix seldom gets among colored people. One of the colored deer tenders yelled "Ne coon, he tee tuff," and the speaker thought lie was right. The deer man also wanted te knew which it would 1)0 the easiest te de en rosurrection day, bring a body to gether that had been burned or one that had decayed. Tlie sjieaker though it would be easier te bring the burned one right, wt.aknkss et- Tin: opposition. Many people contend that cremation is wrong, but they have no grounds for it. The Scripture does net say whether a Ixxly shall I hi put into the ground, in a celli n or mi urn. Moses was put Inte a sepulchre, but nothing was said alteut him. Cremation is only en nnclent way of disposing of IhkIIes and If it is quicker why can we net fellow In the loot loot steps of our forefathers and foreinetliers this last oxpiessien caused a great laugh and the speaker said that was owing te ignorance of some of the audience, ns a man must have had a mother before him or he could net be Isirn. If (ied allowed bodies te lie burned years age it is net wrong new ; people don't under take te step ether wrong-uelng yet they run this down. It Is lunch better te have a body burned than te have it stolen by medical students,thcu slewed and the bones hung up. In future years, when large cities are ex tended, the bmllesin cemeteries will have te be removed any hew. The only way for a person te Unit out wliich is the best way is te try it ; thes-ieukcrdld net care whether his Issly tvas burned or buried as it was tlie soul tluanceded looking after. A voice from a charcoal colored man said "llhick man get no soul." A 'lltK.VT Hl'tVHSs. Cremation is a gii-.il success or it would net have traveled all the way from Ihigland and ether" foreign countries te tlie United Stales ; why was it allowed If wrong ? It is kept up by'the best and wealthiest citizens who assist te erect furnaces, Ac. If It Is bail why don't these who think se get it out of tlie way. Weliave no reason te glve It a hard name ; neither are tlicreany grounds te forbid it. There are seme for it and seme opposed te it : like a presidential contest ; ene iiuiu will be opposed te a candidate Just because he was n Hepubllcan or a Democrat, They have nothing against thu man himself, it is because el ins polities, .oeno can ten et uarm irem :rcmatien. It Is dilllculttn get lioeplo of ene opinion nml wiieretney are iiiviiieu me minion nnd where thev are divided there Is Kemcthltur in It. Mr. Dlggsspoke forsetnetlnio and dually concluded, declaring himself in favor of cre mation. Ueside the frequent interruptions noticed nbove there were u number of ethers by both whlle and colored. Numerous questions were addressed the speaker and answered by him in geed style. After the lecture a collection wus taken up and thu colored people under the leadership of Dlggs saiigiiiiuinlKiVet old eampmeethig songs in line style. The entertainment was a great suc-.-css nnd will bear repetition, Mathew says that he gave the subject of "Cremation" a great deal of study. He had the lecture written out und used his notes te deliver. The original manuscript Is somewhat dlll'er eut from the lecture delivered last night and Matt explains this by stating that a number oriKM-seiiH whom he expected, were net pres ent, and he chauued his talk souiewhat. Owing te tlie frequent interruptions lm was also obliged te make Heme alterations. Ile endeavored te cling le his Hide however, and cremation has un stronger friend than he. Married In llallliiiuic. On Wednesday evening, Jan. 7, Hs.1, Mr, William Harriett, of Chesapeake City, nnd Miss Celena Ketterliel)', of Ualthuere, were Joined In the holy bends of wedlock. The ceremony was performed in St. Paul's Lutheran church, or Baltimore, in thu pre sence of n large audience of invited guests.
