tricts were not entitled to vote.—
But they forget to tell that the ques
tion was brought before the Supreme
Court by the Republicans them
selves foothe purpose of ousting the
Democratic Sheriff of Philadelphia
who *as elected by soldiers' votes,
and that the decision of the Court,
rejecting the army returns, gave the
office to THOMPSON, the Republican
contestant. Had Judge WOODWARD
and the majority of his brethren on
the Bench been actuated by partisan
or political considerations, they
would have rejected the appeal made
by the Republicans and permitted
the Democratic Sheriff to retain his
office ; but they were governed by
no such unworthy motives in the
discharge of the high and responsi
ble duties devolving upon them.—
Their business was to expound the
Constitution as they found it, and
they did so, fearlessly and conscien
tiously, without regard to the politi
cal bearing the question had on
either of the parties before them.—
They bore themselves well in their
high office, as pure-minded, honest
and inflexible jurists, and for this
they deserve the thanks, rather than
the censure, of the people.
But it is alleged that Governor
CURTIN is a patriot, and that Judge
WOODWARD is not. Let us test this
matter in a practical way. Gover
nor CURTIN has neither son nor rela-
It. R. TSIIIIDY, Chairman
Live of any kind in the Union army,
so far as we know—whereas Judge
WOODWARD has furnished two sons to
the military service of the country,
one of whom participated in the
late terrific battle at Gettysburg.—
This, of itself, speaks volumes in
favor of the patriotism of the Demo-
cratic candidate, and is a sufficient
answer to the false and unfounded
charge brought against him by Gov
ernor CURTIN and the Abolition
press. That Judge WOODWARD is
as true a friend of the soldier as
Governor CURTIN can be, no one,
who pretends to fairness and truth
fulness, will for a moment deny—
and that he is a truer friend of the
Union and the Constitution, and
mere devoted to the interests and
welfare of the State than the present
Executive, and in every respect a
better and a purer man, no sane in
dividual will attempt to controvert.
The truth is that in point of ability
and integrity there is no comparison
between the two candidates. The
one is a high-minded, honorable
and incorruptible statesman—the
other a vascillating, time-serving
demagogue, whose only merit con
sists in the facility with which he
cringes to the Administration at
Washington, and carries out the
orders, unconstitutional or other-
- . - -
wise, issued by his Federal masters.
We appeal to the history of the last
two years for the truth of what we
Hon. George W. Woodward.
We are authorized by Judge
WOODWARD (in a letter received from
him on yesterday) to say, that he
will be with us in Lancaster on the
occasion of our contemplated Mass
Meeting, to be held on the 17th of
September.
We make this announcement with
great pleasure, as it will afford all
our friends an opportunity of seeing
the distinguished standard bearer of
the Democratic party of Pennsyl
vania, in the present G - überna,t6rial
campaign.
The Lancaster Examiner , true to
its instincts, copies from the Harris
burg Telegraph—one of the vilest
Abolition sheets in the State—a vil
lainous slander upon Ex-President
BUCHANAN, purporting to be au in
terview between him and a wounded
soldier at the Harrisburg depot, upon
the return of the former from Bed
ford Springs. We have the author
ity of two highly respectable gentle
men who were in company with the
Ex-President at the time, that the .
story, from beginning to end, is en
tirely destitute of truth. No such oc
currence took place, nor anything
bearing the least resemblance to it.
On the contrary, the venerable
statesman was received at Harris
burg, and every where else along
the route home, with the greatest
marks of kindness and respect from
all classes of people. The Telegraph
deliberately framed the lie, and the
Examiner as deliberately re-publish
ed it, knowing it to be false, and
yet there are, doubtless, hundreds of
its readers who will gulp the mon
strous fabrication down as though if
was undoubted truth.

cation of " G " will appear in next

- This appears to be -the stock in
trade of Governor CURTIN, if we
are to judge of the encomiums heap
ed upon him by the Abolition press,
and from the tenor of his speech at
Fulton Hall, in this city, on the
evening of the 17th inst. Neither
he nor they say one word about
State policy, or what would be neces
sary to develop the resources of this
great Commonwealth ; and they are
as mute as mice upon the subject of
the Tariff, the question of emanci
pation and negro equality, the sup
pression of free speech and the
press, arbitrary arrests, &c., &c., in
all of which the people of Pennsyl
vania feel a deep interest. They
have not a whisper about the enor
mous debt which is being piled up
and the onerous taxation which is
the necessary consequence. All
these things, which are of vital im
port to the public, are studiously
kept from the popular view, and in
their stead his Excellency is held
forth as peculiarly the soldiers'
friend, and his opponent, GEORGE
W. WOODWARD, as the enemy of the
soldier, because he, in his capacity
of Supreme Judge, and the other
Judo-es of the Supreme Court, in
cluding JOHM M. READ, the Repub
lican member of the Bench, decided
that, under the Constitution of
Pennsylvania, soldiers in the army

Far Nobile Fratrum.
- - State. Sovereignty.
The recent invasion of Pennsyl
vania by the rebels has fairly shorn
the danger of breaking down
_State
military organizStions. The advent
of Lee's army found our Common
wealth entirely unprepared to resist
the enemy. .Governor Currnr, act
ing in concert with the - Abolition
Administration At Washington, had
labored for a year previous to destroy
State lines, and to consolidate all
power in the hands of the National
Administration. The militia, for
merly the pride and glory of the
State, and its surest defence in cases
of emergency, was disbanded, and
the people were told by this weak
kneed and pliant Executive that the
Federal Administration would de
fend them in time of danger. The
enrolment of the militia was taken
from the State authorities and con-
ferred upon enrolling officers ap
pointed by the War Department.—
The people were given to under
stand by Governor CuRTIN that the
security of their homesteads and
farms no longer depended upon their
own arms, but that the President
had taken them under his wing, and
in return for the rights thus surren
dered, he would guarantee them
safety and security. If they would
consent to disband their State
militia, they were promised full pro
tection from the National power.—
Like the sheep in the days of .zEsop,
they were prevailed upon to give up
their natural protectors, whereupon
they soon fell an easy prey to the
ravenous wolves of secession.
The rebels invad the State
without resistance, a when Gov
ernor CURTIN called upon the
'National Administration for protec
tion, he received the consoling an
swer : " Save yourselves ; we ar c ii .
unable to assist you." The State
militia were gone. The Governor
called in vain for succor. The peo
ple, though willing, could not rally
in time, as they had
. no organiza
tion. Pennsylvania, after furnishing
two hundred thousand men to the
Federal army, was left utterly help
less to the mercy of the foe. In
this hour of dire extremity Gover
nor CURTIN bethought himself of the
only two Northern States where
States Rights were still respected,
and State institutions were still in
existence. He called upon the
Democratic Governors of New York
and New Jersey for help, and in re
sponse twenty-five thousand Demo
, cratic soldiers of their State militia
promptly hastened to the rescue,
and saved the Capital of Pennsyl
vania from plunder and devastation.
But why did Governor CURTIN call
on the Governors of New York and
New Jersey? Why not ask the aid
of the Abolition Governors of Mas
sachusetts, Ohio and Michigan ?--
The answer is at hand. He well
knew that they, like himself, had
surrendered themselves, bound hand
and foot, into the hands of Mr. LIN
COLN, and that, therefore, no help
could be expected from that quarter.
We ask the people to consider
these things in a calm and dispas
sionate manner. The invasion of
our territory in the month of June
last should more strongly than ever
impress them with the paramount
importance of State rights and State
organization; and to effect this, and
to place Pennsylvania in the proud
and commanding position occupied
by New York and New Jersey, they
should elect a fearless and incorrup
tible statesman like GEORGE W.
- WOODWARD to fill the Executive
chair of our noble and patriotic old
Commonwealth
The Triumvirate.
The Republicans, taking advan
we of the first Court day when
"
there always is a large crowd of
country people in town, held a meet
ing at Fulton Hall on Monday eve
ning of last week, and had Gover
nor CURTIN in attendance. The
speakers were THOMAS E. FRANKLIN
of this city, (one of the leading
spirits of the Union League, an'd
the individual who does not desire
any social intercourse with Demo
crats,) who was particularly severe
on the " Copperheads "—Governor
CURTIN, whose sympathy for the
soldiers was the leading theme of his
discourse—and the notorious and
unprincipled MORROW B. LOWRY, of
Erie, one of the meanest and most
contemptible demagogues in the
State, who attended specially to the
negro department of the concern.
The meeting was a tame and
spiritless affair throughout, and the
speeches of FRANKLIN and LOWRY
did the concern morel harm than
good. Governor CURTIN'S remarks
were mild and gentlemanly; and
the only marvel is that he should
select such a low-bred, scurvy fellow
as LOWRY to be his traveling com
panion. His Excellency must be
hard up for associates and advocates
of his cause, when he is under the
necessity of enlisting such charac
ters as this Erie blackguard in the
service.
From Charleston.
The latest intelligence from the
South is to the effect that the siege
of Charleston is progressing favor
ably—that the walls of Fort Sumter
are beginning to yield to the immense
guns brought to bear against it by
General Gilmore—and that there is
every prospect of an early capture of
the city itself. Important news may
therefore be expected any day from
that hot-bed of secessionism.
VERY DISCOURAGING.—The New York Times,
in commenting on the result of the Kentucky
election, says :
"Gen Smith is probably the only member
of Congress elected in Kentucky that will
prove a thorough-going supporter of the ad
ministration."
This " thorough-going supporter of the Ad
ministration" made a speech at Harrison,
Kentucky, July 20th, in which he said :
" lam opposed to the radical measures of
•this Administration, and if elected to Congress
will pursue a:course consistent with the avow
als. In the election of a Speaker for the
House, I will vote for to war Democrat ; and
such measures as neither my vote or influence
as a member of Congress can change, I hope,
to the measure of my ability, to effectually
defeat, by pressing the war to a speedy close,
in destroying the armies of our enemies, and
in the wake of our victorious arms, and see
the Constitution and law and order restored
in every State , of the Union, under which the
1 rights - of possus Ind: petty will tie ee -
oared and

..This, my .
shie is my platform. r- er „_
JUDGE - I WOODWAO.D ON 11116-1/141111.D
`WHITE" INOUB,cONSTIVITTION.
; In January, 1838, twenty-five years ago, a
great question came 'before the Convention
which made onr present Constitution whether
the right to vote should be confined to white
men, or extended so as to embrace blacks.
To the powerful efforts and speech of Judge
Woonwatm upon that occasion we are in
debted for that word in our Constitution which
now, in view of the emancipation policy of
the Administration, becomes' atom valuable
than ever. The Judge commenced his great
speech upon the motion to insert the word
" white " by saying:
" Who ought to be voters in Pennsylvania,
or, in other words who ought to have political
control of one government? This is a ques
tion of the first impression and of great mag
nitude. When you have established and dis
tributed its powers among the several depart
ments—legislative, executive and judicial, it
remains to decide who shall direct and control
that government. The machine may be well
supplied with all the necessary wheels and
springs, but in preparing and fitting them, no
question can arise of so great moment, as
who shall have the regulation of its motions
and. direction, when it is finished and ready
for use. This question has now to be
answered, With reference to . two distinct and
separate classes of men, the whites and the
blacks, and from all the reflection I have been
able to give the subject I am prepared to say.
the political powers of this government ought
to,be exercised exclusively by the whites. In
coming to this conclusion I have endeavored,,
as far as possible, to divest my mind of all
popular prejudices against the African race,
whom we have among us. They deserve my
sympathies, and they have them ; but I feel
unwilling to surrender this government, in
whole, or in part, into their keeping, and I am
therefore prepared to vote for this amendment
and to say in our Constitution that the voters
of Pennsylvania shall be warm freemen."
He then proceeds in a statesman-like man
ner to support his position, in reply , to
THADDEUS STEVENS and others who had
spoken in favor of conferring the right to vote
upon blacks.
Several years ago President LINCOLN made a
speech on the same subject ate gathering of no
grecs in Cincinnati for the purpose of present
ing Mr. Chase, now Secretary of the Treasury,
with a silver pitcher. Then, and there Mr. Lin
cum said, amid the sweet aroma perspiring
negroes, " We feel, therefore, that all legal
distinctions between individuals of the same
community, founded in any such circumstances
as color, origin or the like are hostile to the
genius of our institutions and incompatible
with the true history of American liberty. I
embrace with pleasure this opportunity of
declaring my disapprobation of the clause of
the Constitution which denies to a portion of
the colored people the right of suffrage."
Gov. CURTIN belongs to the same school of
Abolitionists. In his recent speech accepting
the nomination he said nothing against the
President's emancipation and negro equality
policy
White men of Pennsylvania, are any of you
so governed by your passions and prejudices
as to be willing to admit negroes to terms of
political and social equality. If so, vote for
CURTIN, if not vote for Judge WOODWARD.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The resolutions of the Republican State
Convention are oharacterized by a deal of
" loyalty " to tho " cause of the country,"
and profess a strong desire for the mainte
nance of the " National Union ;" but do not
say a word about the Constitution, ur the
necessity for preserving the sacred principles
of liberty which that instrument was de
signed to establish and perpetuate on this
continent. Neither do they contain a word
respecting the State policy which ought to be
pursued ; the Fast internal and local interests
of the Commonwealth were as utterly ignored
by this Convention as though it had been held
iu Kamsohatka.
A resolution commending Secretary STAN
TON for his summary " arrest of traitors " was
offered, hut the Curtin men determined that
Stanton should not enjoy this honor and, ac
cordingly, " the Administration" was sub
stituted for that gentleman's name, and the
resolution, as amended, passed unanimously.
This unqualified and strong endorsement of
all the infamous arbitrary arrests made or
ordered by the Administration is worth re.
metal - wring in the State canvass and at the
polls, and we, therefore, give the resolution
as amended :
Resolved, That the bold and determined
stand taken by the Administration in sum
marily arresting traitors and thieves wherever
found, merits our commendation, and that in
seizing any disloyal person, we pledge it our
hearty co-operation in the task which it has
before it.
Governor CURTIN is here pledged by his
friends to " heartily co operate in the task"
of " seizing any disloyal person," and, of
course, throwing such person into prison
without warrant, judge or jury ! A "disloyal
person," it is understood, of course, means
any man who votes the Democratic ticket, or
cavils at anything done or proposed to be
done by the Federal Administration. In ac
cepting the nomination on the platform of
this Convention, Gov. CURTIN accepts this po
sition, and virtually pledges himself to arrest
and imprison any " disloyal person," or
Democrat, when required to do so by his
supporters.
TREASONABLE SA.YINGIS
" Do right ; and trust to GOD and TRUTH,
and the PEOPLE. Perish office, perish
honor, perish life itself—but do the thing
that is right, and do it like a man."
" Devoted to the Union from the beginning,
I will not desert it now, in this the hour of its
sorest trial."
"I am against disunion. I find no more
pleasure in a Southern disunionist than in a
Northern or Western disunionist"
"I am not a friend of the Confederate
States or their cause, but its enemy."
" 1 am a Democrat—for the Constitution,
for Law, for Union, for Liberty."
" Never, with my consent, shall peace be
purchased AT TUE PRICE OF DISUNION."
"No order of banishment, executed by
superior force, can release me from my right
as a citizen of Ohio and of the United States.
* * Every sentiment
and expression of attachment to the Union
and devotion to the Constitution—to my
country—which I have ever cherished or
uttered,'shall abide unchanged and unre—
tracted until my return."
If the above extracts from the speeches and
writings of Mr. VALLANDIGHAM constitute
treason, then are Democrats here and else—
where traitors, for they endorse every word
contained in them.

The Grand Inquest inquiring for the County of Lancas
ter submit the following report :
They have acted upon all bills presented to thee,
amounting to sixty-eight to number. Of these sixteen
only were Ignored.
These figures indicate that crime in the County of Lan

In; war and the unsettled condition of the coun

ciety.
After passing upon the matters presented by the District

Prison, the Poor House and the Hospital. They found all
these institutions in as good condition as the several build.
tugs would permit. Every thing in the power of the re

the cleanliness and comfort of the inmates.
The bake and wash house connected with the Poor Hotise
is in a very dilapidated condition, and were it not for the
present state of the finances of the county a new building
should be erected. That ought to be done as soon as the
finances of the county will warrant it.

STATE SENATORSHIP.-3f6357.4. EdilOr3 : As
the Democratic County Convention will soon*" held, it Is
not unadvleable for us to begin considering rfho should be
I candidates for the various positions to be filled, but the
importance of having a good selection for the office of State
Senator cannot be overrated. We need talent, ability and
integrity; a man whose patriotism and regard for the true
welfare of the country has not been sunk In the Almond'.
tioual loyalty of Abolitionism. We need ono who will Be
a true and undoubted representative of Democratic policy;
for with that he will be Identified with the only policy
that can save the nation.
Hawn! SHAFFNER, of Mount Joy Borough, combines the
requisites for the place. He is honest and imoorruptible i l
a fearless, unalloyed and undoubted Democrat ; a fluent
and ready debater, and having a sound judgment and good,
practical sense. His sterling character and fine social
qualities have won bun hosts of admiring friends and
made him deservedly popular. He Is emphatically "a man
among men," and If selected to fill the position would do
so wilt' honor to himself, credit to the party, and advan.
Cage to the public interests. J.

Capt. Was, on teking the chair, was greeted with great
applause, and made a meet eloquent and pertinent speech.
His remarks, particularly la reference to the object of the
meeting, were exceedingly well-timed and truly appropri
ate, and he was warmly, applauded. We have beard the
Captain frequently, but we think he was never so happy
and eloquent as on this occaslon. Three hearty cheers
were given him on concluding.
On motion of Dr. Oman WlLeasim, a committee of
eleven was appointed to prepare resolutions, expressive of
the sense of the meeting on the outrage attempted to be
perpetrated on the Democratio Central Club at its last
meeting. The committee was composed of the following
named gentlemen :
Dr. &num Wacartes, Chairman,
Anew lineng, Eau ,
Salem ParezZatra
B. J. McGaesnr,
Lewis Ztansa,
Jesus Psollas,
Gen= IL %Tiara,
Anew rvom,
Josef N. Burma;
Dr. D. McConacx,
Glogeil HAMM Esq.
The Glee Club was then called for, and sang a patriotic
song, entitled "II Pluribus Drum."
Hon. lasso B. Hama was then-Introduced, and, before
proceeding with his remark,, proposed "three cheers for
George W. Woodward, by the grace of the Democratic
party, the next Governor of Pennsylvania" It is needless
tosay the cheers were given with a will. He pro-
to speak of the object of the meeting together of the
vast assemblage of Democrats before him. He spoke in a
justly indignant and eloquent manner of the visit of the
armed soldiery to the meeting of the Democratic Central
Club, and said that the instigators of It, whether they be I
soldier or civilians, should be held to the strictest account
for the Infamous outrage. Mr. H. concluded with a stir.
ring appeal to the Democracy to suffer almost everything,
so as not to provoke riot or tumult, but counseled them
never to give up the right of sultrege. He closed amid,
and was frequently interrupted with, the most enthusi.
alto applause.
Wears" B. Wasos, Esq., was next introduced mold
much applause, and made one of the best speeches we have
yet heard on the right of the citizens to discuss and de
nounce the acts of their rulers. He made several capital
points during the course of his remarks, and contended
for the freedom of speech, a free press and the right of
discussion In the moat eloquent and masterly manner.—
In reference to the vhdt of the so-called Invalid Corps, he
made a very humorous allusion, which was received with
shouts of laughter. Mr. W. is a truly eloquent and pleas
lug speaker, end a great favorite with the Democracy of
the city. We hope to hear him often during the progress I
of the campaign.
Bonin H. Itentoxne, Esq., the young ' . War Horse," was
next Introduced, and made the most eloquent speech we
ever heard fall from his lips, and which held the vast as
semblage spell-bound. He was bold, fearless and pointed
in his remarks, and elicited the heartiest manifestations
of approval from his hearer,. Mr. B. Is one of the finest
young orators in the State, and never fails to Interest an
audience by his eloquent and convincing appeals. He has
buckled on the harness, and will do yeoman's service in
this campaign.
the Glee Club was at this point loudly called for, and
sang the “Woodward Bong," composed for the Democratic
Central Club, by Mr. Grottos Posts, the leader. It is a
capital song, and the tine manner in which it was snug
elicited the wildest applause.
Dr. Wocases, Chairman, then reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted amid great
cheering:
Bereleed, That the undisturbed right of free speech is
one which cannot be surrendered by American citizens.—
It le a right handed, down to us from our British ancestors,
who extorted it from a tyrant king more than six centuries
ago. It Is a right guaranteed to us in our Federal and
State Constitutions, and we would be unfaithful to Our
manhood, to our country and our God, if we basely sue.
cumbed to its abridgment by any military or civil power.
ReroZsed, That the attempt made soldiers,
whether authorized or unauthorized, onT hursday evening
last, to interfere with the free deliberations of the Demo
cratic Central Club, was a wanton violation of this great
principle of American liberty, and an outrage on popular
rights which must not be repeated to this community if
they would avoid anarchy and bloodshed.
Rewired, That as law-abiding citizens, we are reepousi.
hie to the courts of Justice, and shall cheerfully abide their
decision for any abuse of our privileges; but we never can
consent to be called to account for our actions by a mili
tary force, armed with muskets and bayonets.
Repelved, That we have sufficient evidence to warrant
the belief that the outrage was concocted and urged on to
prosecution by a few of the minions of Abolitionism, too
cowardly openly to assail the principles of Justice and
truth. For all such we entertain the most sovereign con
tempt, and regard them as the worst enemies of civil lib
erty, who would not hesitate to inaugurate riot and civil
war in our midst, for the purpose of gratifying their hell
ish personal and party malignity.
Mr. D. E. Bfficeetra was the lest speaker of the evening.
Ha addressed the meeting in German. It will be recol
lected that Mr. 9'e speech was the pretended cause for the
visit of the armed soldiery at the last meeting of the Dem
ocratic Central Club. On this occasion Mr. 8. made one of
the finest German political speeches ever delivered in thin
city. He was humorous, witty and eloquent, and was
warmly applauded. His reception must have been truly
gratifying to him. So much for the abuse heaped upon a
diligent, faithful student, and an uncompromising Demo
crat by the eatanic Abolition preen of this city.
The Glee Club then sang the "McOlellan Song," and
after a few appropriate remarks by the President, he de
clared the meeting adjourned. Before separating, how
ever, tremendous cheers were given for Woodward, Lowrie
and the good old cause.
Thus passed off one of the finest political meetings which
has ever been held in this city. It is estimated that over 2,000
persons were present, and a more respectable or enthusi.
ludic assemblage was never convened. The old men of the
. party, those who fought many a political battle in years
g si gone, were there, and the young, too, man, of
whom are about to cart their first vote for our noble
standard-bearer. The sight was a cheering one, and did
the heart of every patriot good.

CRIJEL Assetrur--A party of soldiers from
Camp Curtin yesterday entered the premises
of John Loban, living on Reilly's farm, east
of the camp, and began to ravage his grounds
and carry off his garden vegetables. He asked
them to suspend their depredations, but they:
paid no heed to him. On going to camp for
the purpose of reporting their conduct to
their superior officer, he was set upon at the
gate, and beaten in a shameful manner. Hie
face and head were much injured, and his
body was cut and bruised 11 stones in many
places. Cdneidering the furious nature of the
assault, it is a wonder that he escaped with
his life. We understand that the case is
likely to come before the civil authorities to
day.—Harrisburg Patriot, 17th.

TUE CATABTROPHZ AT COHOES, N. Y.—The
destruction of a shoddy mill by fire at Cohoes,
N. Y. a few days ago, in which several of the
female operatives perished, is noticed by the
Troy Times, which gives the following shook
ing description of the disaster :
"In the knitting room, in the fourth story
forty girls were employed, under charge of
Peter McHugh. Before intelligence could be
oonveyed to them they were entirely hemmed
in, and none of them could escape by the
stairs. It - therefore became necessary for them
to escape by the windows. Mr. Mo. Hush
remained as long as it was possible for him
to do so, and then escaped by jumpins out.
" The spectacle presented at this time was
perfectly horrible, and made more so by the
impotence of those who saw it to render any
help. Some of the poor creatures accepted
"the alternative of their fate, and dashed Fran-.
tically from the windows. One struck her
head, her neck was broken, and she died in
stantly. Others had limbs broken by the
concussion of their falls.
"One, a young woman named Donnelly, in
her descent was caught by her hoops upon a
ladder, and in frill eight of the screaming,
horror-stricken spectators, roasted to death,
her blackened body falling to the ground.—
Another sprang through the flames, and as
she descended, her garments took fire and
she was burned to death upon the ground
before it was possible to reach her.
" Others ran to the windows and stood
there wildly calling for help, until the wild
sea of flame behind swept upon and wrapped
them in the shroud of death, and they'Ldrop
out of sight.
".The number of the killed is variously re
ported in the excitement. Its lowest estimate
fifteen, the highest twenty-five. In addition
to these, a number were very badly hurt by
jumping from the windows, and acme of,tkem ..,
will, no donbt„ -
