The. result WAS that we had about a thousand new names on our list within two weeks, many of whom became permanent subscribers. We now make a Similar offer. 'nit WEEKLY INTELLIGENOER will be sent singly, or to clubs, to any address, from Wednesday, July 3d. until Wednesday, October 9th inclusive, for the merely nomi nal sum of FIFTY CENTS. This puts within the reach of all one of the best and most widely known Democratic newspapers in the country. Let each of our readers make an effort to extend our circu lation. By so doing they will help forward the good cause. A little effort on the part of each will accomplish much in the aggregate. To you who are just now reading this we make a personal appeal. See your neigh bors and make up a club at once. You can get live, or ten, or more subscribers in an hour or so. Can we rely upon you to do that much for us? We are sure we can. _Olt" Our numerous exchanges will great ly oblige us by making an editorial note of the above. That Seventh Resolution The seventh resolution adopted by the Republican State convention, which nominated Henry W. Williams as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court, is perfectly revolutionary in its character. Its boldness is literally startling. In it the deliberate purpose of making the Supreme Court of this State a mere office for registering the decrees of a political party is distinctly enunciated. Law is no longer to be the rule of the highest judicial tribunal of the State, if Judge Williams is elected. Statutes and decisions, the great prin ciples of legal science, the work of centuries of careful investigation, are all to be ignored and swept away. There is to be a new light in which judicial investigations are to be carried on, what those who nominated Mr. Williams are pleased to call " the liberal spirit of the age." They demand " that ,YllPr( 1)1( Court of the Stew; be placed in harmony with lin:political opinions" they hold. Are the property holders of Pennsyl vania ready to trust their rights to such a tribunal? Would the masses be con tent to have their liberties put at the mercy of a court so constituted? Never was a more in'fainous resolution penned. The lawyer who willingly takes his stand on such a platform as that ought to be unanimously repudiated by all who have any regard for their rights and their liberties. Henry W. Williams ought not to receive the vote of any Pennsylvanian unless he repudiates that plank of the ILepublican platform. When any party openly advocates the election of .1 ridges for political purposes, and the prostitution of our courts of justice to subserve the selfish interests of any political organization, it exhibits a reckless audacity which should lead all right, thinking men to abandon it at once. This the leaders of the Republi can party in Pennsylvania have boldly done. Let the people remember that when they conic to vote for Supreme 1 udge. Beware of the Fate or Mexico The white people of the United States ought to study the history of Mexico before they assent to the Radical propo sal to break down all distinctions found ed upon race or color. lu that, country Negroes, Indians and mixed breeds enjoy the same rights and privileges that are enjoyed by the whites. And what is the condition of the country? She has not had live years of good gov ernment in the whole period of her in dependent existence. She is a standing reproach to Republicanism. Anarchy and civil war prevail there all the (line. The ballot-box has given place to the cartridge box. The only courts heard of are courts-martial. Murder and rob bery are the order of the day. The country is full of Sheridans, all busy at "reconstructing." The Sheridan who triumphs to-day shoots the Sheridan lie vanquished yesterday, who had shot some other Sheridan the day before. "Mild confiscation" (of the Stevens kind) is enforced continually. When ever a Mexican Sheridan occupies a city or district, ho demands a " loan " and collects it at the point of the bayonet. The enemy who drives him out makes a like demand and enforces it in the same way. The only race 013 earth that is capa ble of wielding the ballot to good pur pose is the unmixed white race. This is indeed the only race that has shown Itself capable of maintaining a good and stable government of any form, either Republican or mon archical. These are not mere ran dom assertions. They are historical facts. If Negroes, Indians and mixed breeds are capable of self-government, why line the Republican experiment been such an unmitigated failure in Mexico? Here in the United States, where the ballot was confined to the white race alone, and so long as the interests of the whites were kept steadily in view, our experiment of self-govern meta was grandly successful. But let us break down all distinctions arising from race or color, as has been done in Mexico and us the Radicals propose to do here, and confer the elective fran chise upon negroes and persons of mixed blood, and whD can doubt that the fate of Mexico will be ours? A Well-Informed Lawmaßer Zuch. Chandler, United States Sena tor from Michigan, wade a speech to the Senate on Friday lust, Justifying and glorifying the shooting of Maximilian in Mexico. This is the same bloodthirsty individual who besought the Governor of Michigan to appolu t au ti•com prom hie delegates to the Peace Convention at Washington, and expressed the opinion that " the Union would not be worth a rush without a little blood-letting." He is still for blood-letting. He appears to be as ignorant us he is sanguinary. The New York Tribune exposes his ignor ance in the following drily caustic sen tence : "We reckon that Mr. Chandler erred in telling the Senate repeatedly and emphatically that a son of Henry Clay was garroted In Cuba as a filibus ter." We reckon he did I He had probably heard that a son of Henry Clay was killed as he lay wounded on the battle-field of Buena Vista by the same Mexican " greasers" who shot Maximilian, and in his ignorance of geography he supposed Buena Vista was in Cuba! Of such stuff are Radical lawmakers made. Radicals in Trouble There is trouble among the Radicals in Ohio. The Hon. Samuel Galloway has declined the nomination of that party in a letter which cuts like a raw hide whip. He attributes the circum stance that he was not nominated as Governor to the fact that he was un dtted to the ambitious schemes of .rival ,Presidentialaepirants, and affirms thatthe has a soul to which official hon. , ors hive po charms, if tainted and •pUrchased•by the sacrifice of true man hood. If Mr. Aalloway expects to at tain office without ,% 1 the sacrifice of true .manhood," he must leave the party to . w hi c h he is attached at present, "An ITnbappy Failure. Among other pungent things which the New York Herald's correspondent represents Thaddeus Stevens as saying of some of his leading Itepublican bretb ren is this=4hat . .Tobii' diary, the' present Governor of PenAsylvanbt, "an unhappy failure." 'that old.fflhad has arrived at jiist'estiptitte of OcarY . is undeniable. But ourboverrior is not the only " unhappy failure" we 'are afflicted with. The Republican party itself is a failure, and the whole tenor of Mr. Stevens' remarks shows that he so regards it. This party started out ten years Ago, as the champion of "free speech, and in less than five years, by mere, brute force, it closed up every mouth in the whole country that refused to sanc tion the outrages it committed. It pro claimed its intention to " bring the government baCk to what It had been in the earlier and purer days of the Re public," and it had not been a year in power before it began to uproot the foundation upon which the grand struc ture of the Federal Government had been laid by Washington and his com patriots. It cried out with a loud voice against the extravagance of Democrat. ic administration, and yet, according to the public averment of one of its own leading members of Congress, (Dawes, of Massachusetts,) it stole more to the first year of its administration of the government than Buchanan had ex pended in his whole term. Avowing itself the party of the " Union," it fail ed to preserve the Union by peaceful means, and actually (according to its own interpretation of the result,) split it in twain by force and arms. Mr. Stevens himself pronounces the Republican party a failure. He regards it as too much demoralized to have any hope of future success founded upon an appeal to the reason of the people. He admits that the oely way to save it from defeat at the next election, is to create a furor—to raise an excitement—to stir the passions of the people to such a depth that their reason will be drowned and they be rendered incapable of dis tinguishing clearly between good and evil. When a party that has so long had the administering of all our gov ernments, both State and National, ad mits that it can maintain itself only by muddying the political waters of the country, so that no one may see to the bottom, it may of a surety be written down as a most " unhappy failure." Geary will not lack the comfort that misery is said to derive from company. His party is as bad a failure as himself. Old Thad's Conversations We,call attention to the communica tion of "The Citizen" in another col umn, asserting, notwithstanding Mr. Stevens' denial of its truth, that the conversation which Mr. Drake, the Alabama editor, had with Mr. Stevens a few weeks ago, was correctly reported by Mr. Drake in every particular. The Philadelphia Press of this morning complains that the Democratic news papers have not acknowledged the correction made by Mr. Stevens, of the account of this interview. They have not done so, probably, because they have been waiting to see whether the "correction" would not be corrected by the other parties to the conversation, Will the editor of The Press deem it to be his duty as a public journalist to ac knowledge our correspondent's anima tiou of the verity of Mr Drake's report? In reference to the lute conversation which Mr. Stevens had with the New York licrald correspondent, we are likewise waiting to hear what that car lespondent has to say in reply to Mr. Stevens' strictures upon his report. Meanwhile we take occasion to say that, as we are informed, Mr. Thos. B. Coch ran, Phonographic Reporter, was sta tioned in an adjoining room during Mr. Stevens' conversation with the //mac/ representative and took a verbatim re port of what was said. We are likewise informed that Mr. Cochran declares the report of the conversation as published, to be exceedingly correct. If our in formation as to this matter is correct, and we have it from what we consider very good authority, a reference to Mr. Cochran's phonographic notes, will readily decide the question as to the ac• curacy of the Herald's account. Let the Cochran report be produced, and let the truth be made known. Behind the Folding Dom Mr. Thomas B. Cochran, the short hand Reporter to whom we referred as having been employed by Mr. Stevens to take notes of his conversation with the New York herald Reporter, waited upon us on Monday with his account of that interesting affitir. Mr. Cochran states that on Monday, June 24th, he was met by Col. 0. J. Dickey, who told him that a Reporter of the _Herald was to meet Mr. Stevens at 4 o'clock that afternoon, and engaged him to be there at the same time to take notes of the interview. He went to Mr. Stevens' house accordingly at the ap pointed time, and was stationed in the room adjoining that which was to be occupied by the distinguished chieftain and Ills guest, and opening into it through folding doors. Mr. Stevens was to occupy the lounge and a chair was arranged for the Herald representative with its back towards the folding doors, which were placed ajar, and Mr. Coch ran sat with his ear to the crevice. Matters being thus arranged the Her old Reporter, punctual to the hour, was ushered into the great presence. The Reporter took the seat assigned him, and, note-book in hand, proceeded to record whatever of interest Mr. Ste vens might choose to favor him with. The Reporter's participation in the conversation was limited and he asked but few questions, Mr. Stevens pro ceeding with his discourse for over an hour, with but little interruption. The Reporter spoke in so low a tone of voice that :NI r. Cochran was able to hear but little of what he said, but he thinks he heard all that Mr. Stevens said. The account of the conversation which ap peared in the //cru/d, Mr. Cochran states to have been substantially correct throughout, except lu that paragraph towards the conclusion of it, wherein Mr. Stevens is said to have spoken of Raymond and Butler. The sentiments therein attributed to him Mr. C. did not hear Mr. Stevens utter, and does not think he spoke them. The remarks attributed to him relative to Cameron and Geary, however, he recollects hear ing him make. The Herald reporter left shortly after five o'clock, and intimated to Mr. Stevens that he would call ou him the next morning at nine o'clock and sub mit to him his notes of the Interview after he had written them out. Mr. Cochran has his phonographic notes of all that Mr. Stevens said, and expresses his willingness to write them out whenever requested to do so by those who employed him to take them. Of course he considers them the proper ty of those who 'paid for them, and does not feel at liberty to furnish them to any one else. This certainly is all right; but let the party who had them taken have them written out and pub lished, so that the vexed question as to whose corns old Thad. did tread, and whose be didn't, may be set at rest.— We are lookers on in Vienna, and have no especial interest in this pretty family quarrel; butas fair-minded men we would like to see in this instance as in every other, the triumph of truth. Another Leap from the , 'Biel Window* Thaddeus Stevens, like Ben Wade,. has got himself in trouble by opening his mouth too wide in the heating o , " 1 peweape,*,;,corre'sp9tputs. - 914 "-,Ben: 11.414iad rite se*eraNetteriao ex-' away *hat Elie wi rep4rted to lhaVelsaid in favor of seizigttg the toroper ty ciflhe rich..(Norlh as 1 ssouth); ari.dividfig it amonithe'poor ; and the worst of it is that; the public put no faith irt his explanations, '• Old Thad, as we see by a full report of the proceedings of Congress on Wed nesday, rose to a "personal ."exPlana . 'on!! in-_the-..llouae.,sta "Alisciabxted_ and repudiated" tbe sentiments attri %bitted to by the correspondent df the New York Herald, in the article we published yesterday. We, print this "personal explanation" below. We think any person who will read•it care fully must come to the conclusion that Mr. Stevens did express the opinions and indulge in the strictures upon lead. ing Radicals attributed to him by the Herald's correspondent. In the supposed security of his pri vate residence he spoke his mind can didly and freely about public affairs and certain public men of his own party. If it was understood between him and his visitor that the conversation was to be considered private and confidential, then the latter was guilty of gross mis conduct in making it public. But the whole thing bears the appearance of having been got up for public use. In deed it looks like the work of Mr. &C -rete 8 own hand. Our belief is, that he dictated, if he did not. actually write every line of it, both questions and an swers, with tLe possible exception of a few introductory paragraphs which we did not republish. But sitting in his own residence at Lancaster, writing or dictating sarcastic and contemptuous remarks about lead ing men of his own party, was a more enjoyable thing to Old Thad than meet ing some of these men on the floor of the House while they were still smart ing under his strictures. Butler, we dare say, was as mad as any of the Phil adelphia Butchers who assembled at Harrisburg during the memorable Buck shot War,and Schenk probably felt more inclined for a fight than he did at Vien na. Under these trying circumstances, and having grown too old and infirm to jump out of the back window and run away, old Thad was put to the necessity of wriggling out of what he had said as best he might. He did it awkwardly, as all must admit who read the follow ing : Mr. Stevens, (Rep., Pa.) rising to a per sonal explanation in reference to a corre spondence published in a New York journal, last Monday, said if those remarks referred simply to myself, no matter what they were, 1 should treat them as I do all such things, without notice; and, indeed, so far as they refer to any principles which I have unnounced, I have nothing to say. It is because they contain unpleasant pri vate strictures that I desire to say a word, and I shall confine myself to them alone. This publication purports to be a pri vate conversation with me in my sick room, some two or three weeks ago. I have no disposition to criticise the prac tice of disclosing private conversations any where. Anybody who undertakes to do battle with a newspaper always gets the worst of it. Of course the principles set forth in the article I have no fault to find with. A person who seems to be very much of a gentleman, and a very intelligent man, called at my house, and asked if he could have some conversation with me. I told him if he would allow me to lounge, I had no objection. I got up, dressed myself, got on the lounge, and allowed him whatever time he saw proper to talk; he talked tome like a very intelligent gentleman, which I have no doubt he was. The only fault have to find is, that without submitting the manuscript to me, he should have disclosed what he says was my conversation with reference to my iolleagues in the House. All the rest I waive, fort care nothing about anything else; as far as criticism of myself is concerned, I care nothing, and have not a word to say. I ant charged with some kind of ffiollsh aspiration [laughter], and matters of that kind, which I re gard not. But to the point: In the first place, then, so far as my remarks are sup posed to any member of the House, I do as I suppose I have a right to do, disclaim them all, not knowing precisely how far anything said would justify inferences; but I disclaim them till, and I repudiate sentiments which they claim. Ido not de sire that they shall stand, any of them, in record against any of my colleagues, mem bers of the House. Even if I had said them myself yesterday in debate, I should rise to-day and apologize, and disclaim them all; but I do not admit the truth of them, because that would be an opening of the question of disclosure of private conversa tion. 1 leave them as they are; I will refer but to a single case or two to show how ab surd seine of them are. The reference to the distinguished gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Schenck) and his colleagues, seems to me to be its own answer. The article says that I accused him of want of backbone and blood ; now if there be anything for which that distinguished gentleman has been noted ever since I knew him (20 years), I think it is a determined backbone which would bear Wm through anything he undertook . to de. ll' he has not quite as much blood as he had before he went to the field it is of quite as pure equality; I think not deteriorated by his action in favor of the nation. 1 wish, therefore, distinctly, and in a lump, to repudiate the whole of those remarks, and to say even if I had said them yesterday I should rebuke them and apologize for them to-day. In reference to the distinguished gentleman front Massa chusetts (Mr. Butler) I am accused of say ing that he had acquired his reputation by false pretenses. If there be anything Indio world that he will be acquitted of, and that it would be ahsurb to accuse hint of it, is the acquiring a reputation, or anythingelse, by false pretences. It, therefore, is an abrurd charge, and one which I utterly repudiate, not holding myself responsible for it in any way or for anything attributed to me in reference to any of my other colleagues. I cannot help condemning the manner of at tempting to disclose what is said to have been a private conversation, yet waiving that whole matter, I desire to disclaim and repudiate the sentiments of the whole thing. Mr. Butler (Rep., Mass.) inquired whthher Mr. Stevens had expressed the belief that the IV. Y. Herald wits the only true ITnion paper during the war. [Laughter.] Mr. Stevens replied: This cross question ing is very dangerous, for it might bring me into diffieulty with my friend Horace Greeley. [Laughter.) Legislative Bribery. The corruptness of that political or ganization which delights to style Itself " the party of great moral ideas" is cer tainly unparalleled. The New York Timex, itself a consistent supporter of the party to which a large majority of the New York Legislature belong, says that in '65 the New York pentral Rail road wanted a bill pases_A l allowing an increase of fare. It was referred to a Committee of five. The Chairman was not for sale, but the other four demand ed $6,000 a piece for reporting in favor. After much higgling they consented to take $5,000 ; and this was paid, in green backs. One became alarmed by the opposition of his constituents, and re fused to vote for it in the Senate, but insisted upon keeping his money, as the price of reporting favorably from the Committee. A threat of exposure made him give back the money. When it came before the Senate one Senator demanded $25,000 for his vote, $lO,OOO in advance, and $15,000 when it became a law. The bill could not be passed with out him. The other Senators could not get their money unless it passed, and they insisted that the agent should com ply with his terms. It passed, but Gov ernor FENTON vetoed it. So the poor man did not get his $15,000. In the As. sembly some members got $l,OOO and some $250 for voting for it. The editor of the Times says : " The case here narrated is but one of hundreds. Bribery haw come to be the rule, —it is the regular way, and the only way, in which bills of great money value to corpora tions or individuals are passed in our State Legislature and in our Common Council, and there is scarcely a man who has ever had occasion to seek the passage of such bills who does not know this to be the fact." It must have been nearly as corrupt as xecent radical legislatures in Penn sylvania. 'rife office of the Lehigh Coal and Navi gation Company, at Whitehaven, Pa., was robbed on Tuesday night of $35,000. $5,000 reward is offered for the arrest of theffiteves and recovery of the money. Old Thials "Proniniciamento." The Natiorull inte/ligencer takes much the same view of Mr. Stevens' publish.: ed 4conversationtwith a correspou.-"' dent 'Of the NewX,Oik Herald that we expressed of it on rriday. It bellevee thatjhe questions and iiiswers . wetarefuti* prepared, that they were decl feF-pilbliCation,.and that the *title thhig was designed by old Thad as a bid for the Radical nomination for the Presidency. It can not have escaped the observa tion of intelligent readers of the "con versation," that Mr:' Stevens made iv dixect tilt at every.man who has as yet: tkeen brought forward prominently for his party's nomination. He struck squarely at Grant, Chase, Wade, Cam eron, Butler and Colfax, all of whom have been named for the Presidency. The bid he made in his own behalf was worthy of his Satanic nature. To the implacably vindictive portion of his party he offered vengeance upon the Southern people. To the avaricious he offered payment of the public debt out of the proceeds of the sale of property confiscated from "rich Rebels." To the " border sufferers " he offered com pensation for their losses, and to the negroes who are henceforth to wield the political power of the South he offered free farms. These are high bids; but high as they are, they will fail to secure for Mr. Stevens the position he aims at. From the National Intelligencer Mr. Stevens' Bid for the Presidency. We call attention to an extraordinary let ter on our fourth page, from correspond• ence of the New York Herald. It is utterly impossible for a politician of ordinary as tuteness not to see that the replications of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens to a series of care fully prepared interrogatories, covering all the ground of the present great issues in politics, are his gage of battle against "any and ail corners" in the contest for the Pres idential nomination. It is not unlikely that no such verbal in quiries and replications were made. It is, perhaps, charitable to suppose that the inquiries were presented in writing, and that Mr. Stevens answered them verbally, in a mannef fully premeditated. If there had not been collusion or previous under standing, who supposes that Mr. Stevens, at his great age, while in a condition of depressed health, in the heat of summer, would have got up out of his bed to receive the reporter of even a reputable and reliable political journal of his own party, to say nothing of the Herald, and submitted to a series of questions that other heads than such a one had undoubtedly united in fram ing, and the answering of which took up many hours, at least, in writing out on the spot. No reporter could give such care ful and thorough answers of his replies from memory. We admit that it is just possible that he might have taken them down in short hand. So considered, what is the air or attitude Mr. Stevens presents to the country? Why, that of delving, ridiculing, and condemning most of the leaders, of his party, and appealing for support as a Presidential aspirant, to the people, whom ho supposes are, or will be, captivated by his wholesale ideas of an utter overthrow of the whites in the South. Mr. Stevens has sines harped upon the same string in Con gress with increased fury, and, as things are going, who shall not soy that the political leaders that he so harshly denounced at Lancaster will not by another year be cowering at his iron feet? Mr. Stevens' demonstration is perhaps the most remarkable of its kind on record. His quasi apology for them in his double dealing, rambling, pointless remarks in the House serves only as a correction of an error or two that the Herald reporter might, like many others, have easily fallen into. In disclaiming or apologising as to state ments of the Herald report, Mr. Stevens said that he did no more than he would have done if he had made a speech of the same character the day before; thus showing that there is no verity in his disclaimer whatever. Besides, ho only proposes to apologize to certain members of the House, and not at all to Senators and others that he assailed at Lancaster. Wo take it for granted that none of those persons are satis fied with his disclaimer,a fact,in ouropinion, for which Mr. Stevens has the most pro found indifference. They have all been subject to like scathing for years back in his open speeches or in side-wind or under tone remarks, and well authenticated pub lic and private conversations. Good Advice Coroner Leonard, in a communica tion to the Express of yesterday, ad vises that paper to imitate the hatcili gcncc•. This is capital advice, and if acted on it would work a wonderful improvement in the Express. But how would its readers be able to recognize it after it had undergone such a radical change? Accustomed as they long have been to read falsehoods in its col umns, could they ,believe it was their old paper if they should find it speak ing the truth? This difficulty might be overcome, however, by borrowing an idea from the artist who painted an animal not in much favor among the children of Israel, and then, fearing it might not be recognized, wrote upon it the inscription—'t his is a pig." Now let the Express take Coroner Leonard's kindly advice and imitate the haelli geneer ; and then to obviate the danger of its not being recognized by its pa trons in its new and improved character, let its publishers print across its pages, in large and distinct letters, a notifica tion that " this is the Express." The Supreme Court Most gratifying reports reach us every day from various parts of the State, showing the general satisfaction which is felt at the nomination of Judge Shars wood for the Supreme Bench. The strength of our candidate is demonstra ted by the fact that the Republican press can find nothing to assail in the man. His learning is undeniable, and his ability is unquestionable. There are a great variety of qualities essential in the character of a Judge, and all of these are harmoniously blended in Judge Sharswood. His firmness and impar tiality are proverbial. He possesses pa tience, perseverance, precision and promptitude. His kindness and ur banity towards the younger members of the bar of this city has very much en deared him to them. Their feeling for him is a mingled emotion of reverence and affection. We believe that their strenuous efforts, regardless of political considerations, will Iv. united in his behalf, and will constitute one of the numerous agencies which will inevita bly secure h is election.—Phila. Mercury. A neinnrkisule Ciime—A Girl Inmennibl. fur Fit von Weekn. At Dansvillo, New York, a little girl named Robinson, aged about ten years, was seized after dinner with a sort of itt, her muscles becoming us stiff as a board. Her jaws were firmly locked, the abdominal muscles hard, the toes drawn to the bottom of the feet, the fingers tightly clenched and drawn into the palms of the - hands, and the entire form so rigid that she could be raised on end by the head or feet like a stick. At the same time her forearms wore revolving around each other with a rapidity that no well person could imitate. This motion continued for about half a day. I lor respi ration and the circulation of blood contin ued normal. In this strange condition she continued about seven weeks without taking a par ticle of nourishment, although every effort was made to introduce food in u liquid form through en opening made by extracting a moth, or by injection. The only medical agent that could soften the muscles was chlo roform, and the effects of an application only lasted four orilve minutes. Once she opened her eyes and replied to a question from her father: "Are you sick Susan?" "Yes, father, I am very sick, and going to die." A liniment composed of chloroform, ammo nia, camphor and turpentine was finally resorted to, and the entire skin was red with friction, the use of which, after a few days seemed to relax the muscular rigidity, and she at last became able to make signs fur food. About seven days after she open ed her eyes she recovered the full use of her faculties, and she is now as well and as hearty as ever.—Bocheager .ExpreBs. Brave Girls The Newburg, N. Y., Journal, gives the following statement about the conduct of two young ladies at the disastrous boiler, explosion recently on the Newburg branch of the Erie Railroad. "Two daughters of Mr. Merritt, one of the injured men, hear= ing the explosion, ran from the house to the scene of the accident, finding the three rnen, Mcßurney, Merritt, and Sears burled in the rubbish and entirely senseless from the concussion and injuries received by the, explosion. They extricated Merritt and Moßurney and Carried them into the house; returning to Sears' assistance, found an iron balance wheel weighing eight hundred; pounds lying directly across him, partially+ supported by rubbish, yet holding him securely as a vice. The two girls raised the wheel, drew him out, and carried him into the house also, providing for the injured men's comfort with all the means at their command. When they bad done this, one remained to take care of them, and the other mounted a horse and rode post ha,ste for a physialan."

Extensive Coal Field Extensive deposits of coal have been dis covered on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad, Kansas branch, 170 miles west from Pond creek, on the route of Albuquer que. Mr. Sanderson, proprietor of the Santa Fe stage line, reports the veins from eleven to fifteen feet thick. The specimens received here are pronounced good quality of bituminous coal. A three foot vein has also been discovered twenty miles west of Fort Harker. These discoveries it is believed will settle the question of fuel for the Kansas Pacific Railroad. Pennsylvania Wool The Greene county Republican mays: Little or nothing is bei❑g dune In the wool trade In this county. Fine wool has not yet been placed in the market, and we liver or but few mule,. nt course nr voninion. Prices range from 4,i to an cents for the latter. It is probable the trade will not open brisk till after harvest. The Washington Reporter says: The wool trade of our county may be said to have hardly yet commenced. Buyers have been on the lookout, and have succeeded in making a lbw purchases of small lots at about fifty cents. The finer clips ❑ro all unsold, and the farmers generally, but very few of woom are so pm eased for means as to be compelled to sell, appear to be disposed to hold on for better figures. Clipirs by nrichfisery It may interest smokers to know that cigars,' which have until now been made by hand, may hereafter be made by machinery, at u considerable saving In cost, if we can believe reports. A cigar- making apparatus hue recently been invented In Germany and patented In this country, which can, ft Is said, turn out one hundred and fifty thousand cigars a week.

The State of Kentucky, which never seceded from the Union, and which was represented in Con gress all through the war and since, is now denied admission into the House of Repre sentatives at this most important session. Thus we go on. It is _Kentucky this session. It may and .probably will be Democratic Connecticut next, and by and by Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. The rump is ruling us with a high hand, and for the advantage of its members the smaller they are in number the better. Chief Justice Chase A Washington special says; Pertinent to the impeachment question it may be said that Chief Justice Chase bas recently ex pressed the opinion very positively, that the impeachment movement was one of great folly. He expresses no opinion as to the facts developed, but simply as to the POIOY of the movement. iiiIEa32ELMIMMMi WASHINGTON, July 8 There was a large attendance at the Sur 7 :ratt,trial today, the public curiosity being - highly excited to hear the opening testi ly:my for the defenie. - -- Witnesses testified in relations to the chick in' front oftlfe Iheatna, completely upsetting the testimony Of the soldier Dye as to the man who called 'time" on the night_ erthe assassination. 4 Other testimony:Ants en to show that, from the location o President's ,box 'with reference to the fig t, a man coul not see the door open in the day time, nor a man in the box from the position Rhodes testified that he occupied when he saw a man open the box door and go away• WASFEENGTON, July 9.

MESSRS. EDITOR: Thaddeus Stevens having denied the truth of a reported con versation with Mr. Drake, of Union Springs, Alabama, a Southern editor, it becomes the duty of one who was present with him dur ing that time to insist upon the truthful ness of the representation of that interesting interview. We called upon the Radical God and were received by Mrs. S. I asked her if we could see Mr. S. She thought we could, and said she would go :and see. Shortly returning, "says Mrs. S. says she," 'Walk up, gentlemen, he will he pleased to see you," and she accordingly ushered us into the great man's presence, in his Library. The Herald correspondent re ports the old man assaying that we followed his servant into his room; this appellation applied by Mr. S. to Mrs S. we fancy will be apt to create a great com motion in the bosom of that "happy family." We were cordially greeted, and never im agined ftir a single instant that we were forcing our presence upon him. [This may serve as an answer to what he told the Now York:Reporter in reference do ourselves.] It is not customary with either Mr. Drake or myself to intrude ourselves where we are not wanted, and the least hint of our visit being unwelcome, would have been thesig nal for an immediate departure of each of us. For myself, the 'hit nett merit which I may li.,ve Ilu• M r. N. Is exeeedingly and my desire to visit does not certainly lie in his direction. After some preliminary remarks, the gist of the conversation began. I was a mute spectator, but au earliest listener. Mr. S. was cautious and reticent. Ile could not, however, put aside the plain-pointed ques tions of Mr. D., and wins compelled to give a direct answer //moor eon. The main points of the report are as true almost as if they hind been phonetically reported, and show the powerful memory of the relator. Con fiscation, treason, negro enfranchise ment, and the Radical policy were all discussed. Mr. S. insisting that the South were conquered provinces, subject to the will of the people Which successfully beat them and had nu rights but such as the victors choose to giVe them. lii was ex ceedingly determined and bitter In his expressions; he spoke of his indisposition and therefore Mr. Drake hurried on with his questions so as not to prolong the Inter view, I can fully vouch for all that I heard and will leave the Judgment to an unbiased public. If Mr. Stevens chooses to," throw his con science to the devil," he may succeed In convincing a few of his dupes that he is the living embodiment of troth ; but the ques tion of veracity is a simple one, and I incur no risk when I unhesitatingly pronounce the reported conversation as truthful as the memory can retain or the pen give a sketch of. TEE "CITIZEN." 1130112! A special despatch from Junction City, Kansas, says that the cholera broke out at Fort Harker, June 28, since when over a dozen soldiers of the 38th Colored Infantry, and several citizens, including George H. Eaton and William Eaton, of the quarter master's department, and a brother of Cap tain Aims, have died. There are now nearly twenty soldiers in the hospital sick with the cholera. The surgeons think the disease is caused by the recent overflow of the Smoky Hill river. Several citizens of Salina, and one of Junction City have also died.

After some discussion on the bill. thkeetion Of the House on the death orßepOsentativeDennison was com nlufficaled, and the Seiate•edjourned out respect to histmemoiy': - HOUSE.—The House revived the im peachment question, when / tin angry colloquy ensued between Messrs. Wilson and Williams, both members of the Judic iary Com mittee. The former had announced that the committee were- not ready. to re port, but would be'prepared to submit their views on the testimony at any session of Congress held after the loth of October next. He further stated that five members of the committee did not believe the evidence before them was sufficient to warrant the impeaclunent of the President, while the other4onr members were of the contrary opinion. At ter some remarks from M r. B ont weli in favor of a session of Congress in Octo ber, Mr. Stevens proposed that the Judiciary Committee be instructed to report at once, and upsn this Mr. Williams went on to show that the minority of the committee were ready, and had been for some time, to submit their report. Mr. Wilson, however, annihilated this statement by alluding to the fact that witnesses have been summoned • within the last few days at the instance of Mr. Williams himself, and he severe ly rebuked that gentleman for divulging the proceedings of the committee, as he had done in the course of his remarks. No con clusion was reached on the question, but it will come up again to-morrow, in conjunc tion with the October session proposition. The extreme Radicals are anxious to start the impeachment programme this session, by getting hold of the testimony. Their opponents, however, will probably resist them successfully, whether it shall be agreed to reassemble before December or not. WASHINCITON Jr I.Y, 11. SENATE—In the U.S. Semite, to-day, the Reconstruction bill reported by Mr. Trum bull was taken up, and various amend ments uttered by Messrs. Drake, Sumner and Buckalew were rejected or ruled out of order. Mr. Howard offered an amendment which was agreed to, that boards of regis tration shall make memorandums of cases in which they refuse to register or strike a man's name from the list, and than send such niemorandums to the district com manders. Au atnendment of Mr. Sumner, that no person shall be disqualified, as members of a registration board, on account of color, was adopted.

HOIITSE.—In the House, on motion of Mr. Moorehead, of Pa., the Military Committee were direCted to inquire into the expediency of paying bounty to heirs of soldiers who die before receiving the bounty.

Pike, substituting the 13th of November for the 16th of October. Mr. Broomall introduced a bill which was re ferred, "guaranteeingto each State a repub lican form of government." The hill pro viding that no soldier who quitted his regiment w i thou t leave at ter Lee's surrender shall be con :•ed a deserter. was adopted. On motim.. toe Commerce Committee were instructed to inquire into the cause of the depression of the ship building interest, and to report whether it may be remedied by legislation. The House held an evening session to consider the Reconstruction bill passed by the Senate. Tho bill was referred to the Reconstruction Committee. WASHINGTON, July 13 SENATE.—In the United States Senate, to-day, the report of the Conference Com mittee on the Reconstruction bill was rend, and after some discussion agreed to by a vote of 31 to li. The bill, as agreed upon in conference, is amended so as to resemble that passed by the house, Mr. Sumner again tried to have his Universal Suffrage bill considered, but failed. The Reconstruc tion appropriation bill was tabled, no esti mate having been received from the War Department. Mr. Thayer introduced a bill to locate all the Indian tribes betweeli the Missouri river and Rocky Mountains. In the House a debate took place on the subject of the treatment of rebel prisoners by the United States during :the war, and on motion of Mr. Washburn° It was resolved that no resolution would be em ermined implying other than kind treatment of such prisoners, unless accompanied by a respon sible charge to the contrary. The conference report on the Reconstruction bill wits agreed to—yeas I nays 25. Mr. Bingham intro duced a bill, which wits passed, appropria ting $1,075,000 for reconstruction purposes. For The Intelllgeneer The Late 'radical Convention In the intelligencer of June lath, D.C . , I tied the proceedings of a Black Republican body which met under the false pretense of being a Temperance Convention ; and I detach a few gems from the mass of verbi age, to show that Democrats, and farmers with German names, of whatever political party, cannot affiliate with such "narrow minded blockheads." Although mysel ono of the so-called "Stolid Dutch in the northern end of Lancaster county," I ex press no surprise that the iepithet stolid of "Dr. Gibbons" (whoever he may be) was received with approbation by the Conven tion, and that the bloodhounds of Zion present did not call him to order. The temperance cause is a growing power ; it is making progress everywhere, even among the'Velid Dutch in the northern end of Luncasteecounty; a soil so barren that I never expected to see such good fruit grow on it.—Dr. Gibbons. They had been told slavery was a thing of politics and not to lie touched by the pulpit; but the pulpits of the North had been the main agerecy in working out the great revolution through which we hove paired.—Rev. C. 1. Thompson. There is one grand over towering ques tion to be settled—the question of the.socht and political equality Mall inen, without distinction as to race or color. Shivery is dead, but its spirit still lives, the spirit which would deny to the black ?WM the equal rights and privileges with the white.—Dr. Gibbons. The anti-slavery party was not strong until it succeeded in uniting itself with ono of the great political parties of the country. If you show me a truly earnest temperance man I will answer for it, in almost every Case, that he is a faithful and honest advocate of the political and social equality of all races and classes.—Rcv. C. I. Thompson. He thought the hydra of slavery was not quite dead. If it was he wanted to know what there was to induce Congress to as semble in the midst of the dog days. Ile was sure they would wipe out all the crud ities of Attorney General Stanberry.

God has selected this country as the thea tre on which to work out his mightiest pro blems.—lice. .1. C. Cromlish. According to this, omniscience must. ac tually work problems on n threutru; and we remember that Lincoln was removed to make room for ono who, having suffered from the rebels, would play Parson Brownslow with them I which tho amiable President would not do. This at least was the' problem' us stated by the bloodhounds of Zion, who " had reason to believe" that the rebels " could'nt fool Andy Johnson." Hero all moral agencies a re to war against evil. Such being the cane, Moro have liven but two political parties permitted to exist In the past—the one the party of morality, and the other the party of Immorality.— lice. ✓. C. CrentliBh. The robbers nt the State Capitol, those who whip children to death, hangers of Mrs. Surma, Butler, Neal Dow, Stevens and Mrs. --, (not to partietllarlwn sodue • lion case at (;ettysburg), Seruno Howe, (clergyman, educator, legislator and tem perance man), whoremongers and Strum pets in the Treasury Department, with this small-headed Cromilmh (" such being the case") bringing up the rump and rear of the no-called God-and-morality party. Thu man who Is immoral in ono point Is Unmoral In all; the party which advocates the continuance of one cause of Immorality will be Mond ready to advocate all other immorallties.—Rev. J. C. Cron-aI:A. This is according to the Sunday School dictum, that "if a boy will lie he will steal, and ii lie will steal he will murder." But contrary to this view, gamblers are noted for not being drunkards, and Serene Howe was probably a strict temperance man. Marietta, July 10th, 1807 Grasshoppers In Kansas A dispatch from Leavenworth says the grasshoppers which have been rusticating since early spring upon the green fields and beautiful prairies of Kansas, have become fully developed, and are now on their annual, march.
