The whitewashing of Revenue Com.
Miesloner Wells, among other false and
deceptive statements, declares that thp
cost of the Freedmen's Bureau from the
time of its organizitlon In 1800 down to
June 80, 1808,103 been only $5,617,000.
This Is so utterly, at variance with the
figures heretofore given from official
sources, that it is sufficient to stamp the
whole letter as uinierthy of the slight
est credit. Doubtless as far as the Items
are specially charged to that bureau,Mr.
Wells' statement Is correct. The ex
penses of this bureau, are, however,
concealed in a mass of appropriations,
and mixed up with those of the War
and other departments so that It Is al.
most Impossible to get at the exact out
lay. No fair or precise account has ever
been rendered. While Mr. Wells states
tlte,4!expenses from 1866 to 1868" to be
$011;000, Congress made two directap
propriutions within that period for $lO
- or more than five milliens above
the sum stated. The National Intelli
gencer explains further, as follows:
The bureau was organized by the act of
March 3, 1865, though it had been practi•
catty in existence long before, under the
name of the Department of Negro Affairs,
which transferred largo property and funds
to the bureau. No part of the two ap
propriations for nearly eleven millions, al
ready referred to, was drawn from the
treasury until August, 1867, being more
than two years after the expenditures of
the bureau began. The explanation Is, that
abandoned lands In the Southern States,
and others to which the government had sO
- title by confiscation or sale,weresolz
ed and appropriated for the use of this con•
corn, together with an immense amount of
lines, taxes, retained bounties, d:c.,ot which
no returns have been made, making an
enormous aggregate. Besides these vast
resources, the Secretary of War had power
to seine unlimited supplies of provisions,
clothing mud fuel, subject to regulations
prescribed by himself. rho' scale on which
It was done may be estimated by the fact
that ten mittion's of rations wore issued In
twelve months. No account of the clothing
and fuel has been furnished. It is all pur
posely covered up. So, too, lu regard to
t• , msportution, medical supplies, and the
llko.
Abut although the actual cost of this vast
organization cannot be precisely stated, for
the reasons which have been exposed, still
there are approximate figures which fur
nish a practical Idea of the millions which
it consumes. (len. Howard, the commis
eloner of the bureau,,,who is directly inter
ested in depreciating the outlay, made an
°nichtl estimate for the fiscal year from
January 1, 1860, to January I, 18117, which
gives the only data from that source of the
expenditures. Here Is what ho says:
" It Is estimated Hod the amount required
for the expenditures or the bureau for time
fiscal year commencing January, 1866, will
be 811,7.15,050. This sum is requisite fur the
following purposes:
Saliva:a of roraktunt Rod tillb-.0.11/i
-taut comtnirodonerx 91.17,500
Hafarina of clerks 82,90 u
titationary and printing alOOO

Mellow ouperintentient4 21,010
Often for melroul hoaxes and lay loom.. 3,000,000
To.egraphing 10,1119)
This estimate is below the murk in many
respects. For example, the salaries are
slated at $2130,300, while the actual amount
paid for a single year tuts i5t`115,731.91, enclu-
Ve of the pay for school teachers, hospital
attendants, and army officers. Thus we
have General Howard estimating the cost
of the hdreau for ono year at $11,715,030,
while Mr. Wells has the I.BllrallUe to say
that the expenses since its organization
were only $5,1317,000. As these radical doc
tors disagree, the responsibility of false
statement rests between them, but tmMr-
Minutely the people have to pay for the
shortcomings of both.
Views of Senator Hendricks on the Pay
ment or the Bonds.
Senator Hendricks, in his speech at the
reception tendered him in Indianapolis,
• Ind., on his return from Washington on
Tuesday, devoted considerable attention to
the question of paying the bonds, in the
course of his remarks saying:
"It is said that it is unjust to pay these
bonds otherwise than in coin. I itin not
able to perceive that it is so, The bonds
were bought from the government when
the Treasury notes were much more de
preciated than now. Undoubtedly there
were held cases under the legal-tender act.
I recollect one case that appeared so to me.
I may not be accurate in the amounts, but
nearly so. One citizen having gold, $lO,OOO,
lA/luring the first year of the war, and before
the rise of gold, or rather the fall in paper,
loaned it to his neighbor at 7 per cent. That
neigh hor was able to pay the interest and
hold the gold. Ile did so until after the
passage of the legal-tender law, and until
gold went up to $2.50. Ile then sold the
gold for $25,000 legal-tender notes. With
$lO,OOO of the notes lie paid the note given
for the gold, and with the remaining
$15,000 he bought fifteen of the five twenty
bonds of $l,OOO each, upon which he bas
since received bin interest in gold every six
months.
Wunt became of the other gentleman
who wii's compelled to take paper worth
about $4,000, I cannot tell. Perhaps he
became a quartermaster, or sought some
other eminently loyal position, hoping to
retrieve his fortunes; but I have been en
tirely unable to excite a throbbing sympa
thy for the gentleman who holds the $15,000
In bonds. 1 cannot soy that linaneiallY he
has done badly; and in the little question
between him and the tax payer, 1 cannot
go with Governor Morton and his followers,
and hold that we shall go beyond the con
tract and pay his bonds in gold. This large
class of bonds being payable in twenty years
in treasury notes, they are now many
of them redeemable in the same.—
Then wo may at once commence the pay•
went of our debt by the issue of treasury
notes, and thus stop the payment of gold
interest, and also increase our currency,
and thus stimulate commerce, enterprise
and labor, and in connection with as wise
policy towards Southern States, and the de
velopment of their resources, restore pros
perity to the whole county. I would not be
understood as being in favor of an increase
of the currency without limit. The dan
gers and evils of an unrestricted issue of
paper money cannot be too carefully
avoided. Temptations in that direction are
great, and must be resisted by wisdom and
prudence. No one more than myself re
grets the necessity of a resort to paper cur
rency, but it results from necessities of our
condition. The issues must bo limited to
the demands of business, and the wants of
the people in meeting the enormous levies
for national,, State, county and• city pur
poses."
Death of Chas. It. Bucksvalter,Eaq
Charles Buckwalter, Esq.. died at his
residence, in Philadelphia, yesterday, after
a short illness. Mr. Buckwalter, after
graduating at the Philadelphia High School,
studied law; was admitted to practice at
the bar, and gave great promise of useful
ness in the profession he had chosen. Re
siding in the Third Congressional District,
and taking a prominent part in politics on
the Democratic side, Mr. Buck welter was
twice chosen as the candidate for Congress
by that party, and made successful runs on
both occasions, though failing to secure an
election. As a speaker, Mr. Buck waiter
was logical and eloquent; as a citizen, he
tilled all the requirements of that responsi
ble position, while in the social circle ne was
a favorite on account of the possession of
many genial and engaging traits of char
acter. His death is a loss to the public, as
well as to his family and friends.—Piiiia

Know•Nothinsism Revived
True to their instincts the Radical
Legislature of Connecticut passed a law
to prevent foreigners from being natur
#lzed in that State. Of this fresh and
malignant revival of Know-Noth
ingism--this new evidence of the ha
tred of foreigners by the Radicals, Gov.
—English says in his veto:
'''Thirteen years ago, in a period of intol
erant excitement, the courts of our State
were absolutely forbidden to administer
the oath of allegiance to any alien desiring
to become a citizen of the United States.
But when the war came upon us, and It was
necessary to fill the United States with
men who were willing to imperil their
lives for the preseription of the govern
ment, the injustice and utter absurdity of
such a policy became apparent; and the
alien who would enlist In our armies and
give us his services for a year, was gladly
received as a citizen, without any further
residence, and without even the requisite
of a declaration of his intention to become
a citizen. It seems to me hardly becoming
to revive so soon the legislation which we
were so ready in that period of danger to
discard."
Andersonville.
Gen. Grant wrote to Butler, when the
exchange of prisoners WAS going on with
the full approval of the rebels
Send no more men in exchange for our
sick prisoners in the enemy's hands.—
Every man released becomes an aetive sol
dier against ua• It we commence a system
of exchange we will have to fight on till the
whole South is exterminated. It is hard on
our men in Southern prisons; but is 'hu
manity to those left in our ranks to tight
our battles.
That shows who was responsible for
the horrors of Andersonville.

Thaddeus Mavens an the Tonging. MIL
The following letter has been addressed
by Hon. Thaddeus Stevens to u personal
friend;
"Dear Sir; The g , ld question Is settled.
It Is not surprising that an ancient philoso
pher should marvel at the singular work
ings of truth, sometimes operating with
provoking slowness and sometimes with
electric rapidity, but always with eventual
accuracy. This has been called to my mind
by the late sudden settlement of the ques
tion in what currency the live-twenties were
payable. For HOMO time past that:ques
tion has boon discussed in a vulgar man
ner, and I confess, so far us I was concern
ed, a temper and style that was unbe
coming; and yet within a weak the whole
question has been settled without turmoil
and without it seeming to be understood
by the people at large.
"A funding bill was Introduced by Mr.
Senator Sherman. passed. the Senate, and ,
was sent to the House, where it received /
several amendments. The Senate non-con
curred, and it went to a committee of con•
femme. They reported an entirely new
1,111, in which they settled the whole "pies ,
hien of what the live-twenties should be
payable Imsolwisely us to reduce the whole
national loan to payment in COHI 'They
provided bonds to the full amount of the
live twenties and no more, to be exchang
ed, par for par, and payable In gold In
thirty and forty years.
" Now, if the live-twenties had already
been payable, principal and Interest, in
gold, nothing need to have been said except ll
as to the time, which the government had
the right to extend, but they did provide
that the bonds to be substituted should be
of different interest value from the face of
the tive-tweeties. It is provided that they I
shall bear nn interest of four per contain in
gold instead of six per centum, as now;
and ns an equivalent for the reduction of
the interest, the principal were already
payable in goid, there could have been no
occasion to repeat it, nor reduce the coin !
interest for thirty years by one-third. That
settled, that the bonds bearing four per
cent. interest for forty years, and their
principal and interest payable in coin, wore
just equal to what the committee considered
the value of the tivo-twenty bonds, bearing !
one-third more interest in coin and the I
principal payable in just what it now is.
"These provisions, I think, cannot be
misunderstood by any gentleman. If the
bondholder chooses to deal, let him ex
change one of these four4mly bonds, bear-
ing tour per cent. interest, for one of the
same value called live-twenties, bearing
six per cent. interest in gold and the prin- •
pipet in money.
"This proposition, containing so just and
convenient en arrangement, an es to reduce
the national loan to uniformity and settle
the vexed question in what it should be
paid,' was su omitted to both houses, passed
at once by the Senate and passed by the
House of Representatives, almost every re
publican member voting for it. If it is not
now a law, it is because the President has
not signed it.
" This compromise bill was a happy
thought, setting an irritating question, and
informing every bondholder what and how
much he is to receive for his bond. It does
does not do to exult, but it must be gratify- !
ing to those who held that there was a dif
ference in value between the five-twenties
and what they would he if they were paya
ble in coin. Respectfully, Sc
THADDEUS STEVENS."

Death of Geu Chao, O. Halplnc
Mr. Chas. G. Halphine, better known un
der the soubrique of Miles o'Reilley, died at
the Astor House,New York,about midnight
on Sunday, On Sunday evening, about six
o'clock, he went up to his room, and shortly
afterward came down and wrote a check
for a small amount, which he handed to a
friend• He then retired and about nine
o'clock rang the bell and desired that medi
cal aid might he sent for. Dr. Swan, who
was at the Astor House at the time, imme
diately proceeded to Mr. Halpine's room and
found him breathing heavily and almost in
sensible. It was attempted to administer
restoratives, but Mr. Halpine was unable to
swallow, and at ten minutes past twelve he
ceased to breathe. Congestion of the brain is
believed to have been the cause of death. 'the
body was this morning removed to the fami
ly residence of deceased in Lexington ave
nue. Mr. Halpine was born in Ireland and
educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where
he distinguished himself by his classical at
tainments. About twenty years ago be
came to this country, and shortly afterward
was attached to the staff of the Tribune. He
was also subsequently connected with the
Times and Leader, and a few years ago
established the Citizen, which he continued
to edit up to the time of his death, During
the war he was on General Hunter's staff,
and was with him in Kansas, South Caro
lina, and Virginia. During this lime he
contributed to the papers many war lyries
under the 710 M de plaice of Miles O'Reilley.
On his return from the field, and at the en
suing election in New York city he was
chosen to lilt the ot➢ce of Register. He
look an active part iu politics, and assisted
both with voice and pen in disseminating
the views of the Democratic party. Per
sonally Mr. Halpine was popular, and his
loss w ill be deplored. He leaves a widow

What Mlles O'Rellly.Sald.
Wo clip tho following from the N. Y. ca
-en, the last issue before the death of its
[dented editor :
"Major General Winfield Scott Hancock
is out in a letter heartily endorsing the nom
inations of Horatio Seymour and General
Frank P. Blair. This in itself is a sufficient
answer to all those slanderous speculators
of the Home Brigade who have recently ta
ken up the business of denouncing Sey
mour and Blair us "copperheads." On the
whole muster roll of our army no name
shone more conspicuously for personal gal
lantry than that of Frank Blair, few officers
have been more desperately wounded, and
no officer has been more gloriously conspic
uous for never saying "come" to his men,
but "follow me." As for the loyaly of Ho
ratio Seymour, the fact that in every na
tional exigency he hurried forward more
t roops to the scene of ction—whether It was
Washington or Get t sburg—than any other
Governor, together with the warm letters
of thanks for his I alty and devotion from
the late President incoln which have al
ready appeared, must be a sufficient an
swer. Knowing Seymour well, and hav
ing had opportunities to know him
thoroughly, officially and personally, dur
ing the war, we reluctantly but firmly ap
ply to whomsoever shall question his ac
tion and practical loyalty, the famous words
of that great Radical Chief who answers ev
ery charge which he deems unfounded by
this striking phrase of the puie Saxon dia
lect, "You lie, you villain, you lie;" and
—what the great Radical philosopher does
not do—we are willing to be held responsi
ble for these words.

It iihould be remembered that this does
not include pensions, bounties, and debts
of a similar description. Is it not amazing
to contemplate the sums which are gathered
from the people, year after year, simply to
pay the Interest on this debt? People often
complain of their county and butte taxes,
but in hardly any county in the Common
wealth do these amount to one•tenth of the
interest actually paid on the public debt
each year by the people of such county.
It is true this interest is not all collected
from the people by a direct tax ; that part
of it which is not so collected is raised by
duties on articles of meat, drink awcrappar
.
el, which arc ixariably paid by the consumer.
Hence thernigh prices of the necessaries of
life, and " the grinding of the faces of the
poor." And this interest, mark you, must
be paid in gold, which adds 90 cents to
every dollar of it. This ie a subject worthy
of the attention of every man, for if this
land of ours is ever again to be one of pros
perity, this load must be lifted from the
shoulders of the people.

nadleol Figures on the Result
Several of the Radical papers have been
figuring at the Electoral vote, trying to
show Grant elected, but are unable to count
enough votes to insure success. The South
Bend Register—Schuyler Colfax's home or
gan gives the following table as the best the
Radical ticket can do :
Arkansas &Nebraska 3
Florida 3 Nevada 3
Illinois 16 New Hampshire 5
Indiana 12 North Carolina 9
lowa S Rhode Island 4
Kansas 3 South Carolina 6
Louisiana 7 Tennessee 10
Maine 7 Vermont 5
Massachusetts ........._l3 West Virginia 5
Michigan 3 Wisconsin 8
Minnesota 4
Mississippi 7 Total 15.
It will be seen by this table that the great
States of New York, Perfusylvania, Ohio,
and Missouri are conceded to the Democra
cy. They also give up Alabama, Georgia,
Texas, and Virginiabut claim Mississip
pi, a State which has already gone Demo
cratic—and by claiming the latter they still
lack eight votes of enough to elect their
ticket. But conceding that the vote of Vir
ginia, Mississippi, and Texas will not he
counted, this takes seven votes from that
table, and by giving them all the other
States claimed, which we do not concede, it
still leaves the Radical ticket, by their own
showing, four short of an election. But in
addition to this the States of Indiana, Ne
vada, Nebraska, and Wisconsin claimed in
the above table, are sure to go Democratic,
which will reduce their electoral vote to 117,
or thirty-one short of an election, with the
vote of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas
excluded. Let them do as they please, the
Radicals are certain to be defeated. Their
own organs And leaders reveal enongh in
their figuring and actions to prove this fact,
and that Horatio Seymour will be the next
President.—N. Y. World.
The Germans of Philadelphia
The most salacious and far seeing as well
as intelligent gentlemen among our Ger
man population unite in the opinion that
three-fourths of the German population of
Philadelphia will vote for Seymour, Blair,
and the whole of the Democratic nominee.
A well known prominent German Demo
crat of the Sixth Ward writes pus: "We,
the Germans of the Sixth Ward,. have
learned that many of our friends, who do
not wish to belong any longer to a corrupt
Radical and revolutionary party, are com
ing back. The Germans, who have lived
under a monarchy; 'are naturally hos
tile to corruption, monarchy, the bay
onet and the sword. They love liberty
and honesty. -• They are for constitutional
rights and a Union; and we can say that.
the Germans do riot alone in the upper part
of the city, hut all over the city, return to
the Democratic ranks_ We a.e ready•to
take them by the hand again. Welurther
take great pleasure in stating; as far. as we
'have learned, that our friend, Dr. Roth, one
of the leading Germah Deinocrittlecitizens
of our ward, and of marked influbim, who
takes an active 'mini - and who' understands
pretty well the' German sentiment, express
es the conviction that the Germans are al
most a unit for Seymour, and that very
likely by fall next 'not less than three
fourths of the Gentians of this city will sup
port Horatio Seymour, - General Blair, and
the whole'of 'the Dentocratic •nominees."—

ATLANTIC CITY, August 2.
Four Philadelphians were drowned hero
yesterday morning. Th (Arne cn es are Henry
Trough, Louis Morwltz, Joseph T. Vankirk
and -- -Ballo% The casualty happened
nearly opposite the railroad depot. A. large
excursion party, composed of members and
friends of the. Merrick Beimilcial 'Associa
tion arrived here about 11 o'clock, A. M.,
among whom were , Messrs. Trough,
Vankirk and Ballot'. These gentlemen,
with others, went into bathfEy. shortly
before 11 o'clock. . They, crossed the lit
tle bay formed by the beach and bar for the
purpose of getting ,to the outside surf.
This bar extends about one-halt the length_
of the beach. A heavy sea broke 'upon
them and Vankirk and Ballon were beard '
to cry for help. Mr. John Gibbs, who was
near at hand, went to their assistance, and
Eindingthat they were (enclosing strength
called for help to save the drowning men.
Trough hurried to the aid of the unfortu
nate gentlemen, and caught hold of
Mr. Gibbs, but he was struck by a huge
breaker and was slmost 'instantly lost sight
of. Mr. Morwltz, who was a good swim
mer, finding that the men were . in great
extremity, hurried to their rescue, but, in
stead, he shared the fate or those whom ho
was trying to save. All of them, with the
exception of Gibbs, were lost,
Mr. Morwitz was a nephew of Dr. E. Mor
wltz of the "German Democrat." He was
about 28 years old; was born in Germany,
and came to this country abouj lb years
ago. For the past five years he served in
the capacity of a reporter on the " Demo
crat." He was a kind hearted man, and
was a universal favorite among his report
orial brethren, and none will miss his
smiling countenance more than they. He
came to this place on Friday last for the
purpose of securing rooms for his uncle,
Dr. Morwltz. The latter arrived here this
morning, and did not receive the Pad intel
ligence until within a few miles of the city.
The bodies of Messrs. Trough and Vankirk
have been recovered, and sent to Philadel•
phis. It is expected that the others will be
washed ashore during the week.

Great Fire at Oil City—Fifly-threo Fatui
ties Without Shelter—Tito City Pros
trated.
OIL CITY, Penna., July /31.—This unfor
tunate place has again been swept by fire
In the same spot where it lust suffered by
the same cause, and the visitation thistime
will probably prove more serious than the
fires in former days, when the city was ani
mated with a feverish vitality that enabled
It quickly to recover from the heaviest
blows. It Is no longer, however, a fast
growing place, and the prostration of to-day
will be felt for a long titne.
2 . 8ti2 . 376 172;942.'6
The city is built on both sides of Oil
Creek, where It empties into the Allegheny
river, and the tire broke out on the loft bank
of the creek, near the river shore, and swept
about two-thirds of that Mao( the city out
of existence. There is doubt how it origi •
nated, but the story In which most people
agree is that It was caused by the careless
ness of an employee at the engine-house of
Parker S Co., where there lea steam-pump
used for Ailing and emptying the great oil
tanks on the bank of the river. This man
undertook to clean out his smokestack by
burning a bucket of oil In it. The result
was a small explosion and the comtnunlca
lion of the flames to a train of cars loaded
with petroleum, which were waiting on a
side track to be discharged. From these
the fire spread right and left, almost with
the rapidity of lightning. Parker's tank
burst, and one other large tank Wag injured,
but neither contained much oil. The entire
loss of oil will probably not exceed 3,000 bar+
rels, including t e contents of nine cars of
the Atlantic and Great Western Road,
whicn were entirely consumed, The fire
broke out at 7 o'clock in the morning, and
by noon there was not a wall or a beam
standing in the entire burned district. The
Jones House and one or two smaller hotels,
telegraph offices, several shipping plat
forms and small tanks, and 50 or 00 of the
best shops, warehouses, and dwellings in
the place were destroyed. Fifty-three fam
ilies are left without shelter. The loss is
roughly estimated at $550,000, on which
there is very little insurance.
Affray and Murder In Shrewsbury, Ver
mont—A Vendetta Among Sew
Englanders.
RUTLAND, August 2, 1868.
One of the most horrible and atrocious
murders ever perpetrated in Vermont oc
curred at Shrewsbury, ten miles from here,
last evening. An old feud has for many
years existed In that place between two
families named Plumley and Balch, and
while appraisers were engaged in set
ling damages committed by the horses
of the latter on the property of the
former, a dispute arose between them,
which resulted in the deliberate shoot
ing and killing of Johnson Gilman, Jr.,
a disinterested and innocent young man,
by Horace R. Plumley, Indiscriminate
shots were then exchanged between the
parties, resulting in the wounding of Hon
ace R. Plumley and John Gilman, Sr.
Five of the principals in toe affray--viz.,
Serbra Plumley, Horace R. Plumley, his
son, and the murderer, Geo. Butterfly, his
sou-in-law, and two men named Abraham
Winn and Napoleon Quarter, employees of
Balch—have been arrested and are con
fined in the jail here awaiting examination.
Frederick Plumley, another son of Serbra
and one of the contestants, is concealed in
the woods at present, but will be secured
to-morrow.
Both the Plumley and Batch factious
were evidently Rrepared for the affray, as
they were well armed. The deceased was
a highly respectable young man, and his
death is much deplored, even his murderer
asserting that he knew nought against him.
The affair has created much excitement
in this section. The accused will have their
examination to-morrow.
Grant's Brother gives a Thousand Dol-
lars to Help Bent Ulysses—" Let us
Have Peace."
I From the Hartford Times. I
Nothing is said in the Radical ring about
Gen. Grant's brother, Orville Grant, l q., a
prosperous and respcted merchant In Chi
cago. Why not? Why did the brothers
not see each other when the General stop
ped in Chicago? We understand that Or
ville Grant refuses to vote for his brother,
considering him unfit, by his character and
habits, to occupy the Presidential chair;
that he lately presented to the Chicago
church, of which he is a member, the sum
of $5OO, and to the Chicago Democratic Club
the sum of $l,OOO. A clergyman who sug
gested to him that it would have been bet
ter to reverse these gifts, was Informed by
Mr. Grant in reply thatomon a careful con
sideration of the state of the country and
the character of the two candidates, he rath
er thought ho ought to have doubled the
present to the Democratic Club;! We are
also told that Mr. Gage, the proprietor of
the Sherman House at Chicago, who would
have voted the Republican ticket had an
other candidate been nominated, is now for
Seymour, and willing that the Democratic
Clubs of Chicago should make his celebra
ted hotel their headquarters. Another in
dication of the way the tide is setting in
that city was the presence of five or six
hundred Republicans at the Seymour rati
fication meeting in Chicago, who cheered as
lustily as any of the Democrats. They will
go with General Grant's brother and the
majority at the West for Seymour and Blair.
On the 4Sth inst., Paul E. Lai esche, Jr.,
son of a respectable notary, and Deputy
Constable S'ossier, of the Third Justice's
Court of New Orleans, fought near New Or
leans. Laresche was killed. A dispute in
the court-room was followed by a challenge
from Mr. Laresche. The duelists met at 11
A. M. in:the parish of St. Bernard, some die.
tanee below the city, near the United States
barracks. Mr. Laresche wag accompanied
by Messrs. Marcel and V. Smith, as his sec
onds, ann Dr. Berjet as his surgeon, while
Messrsi Forstal and Labatut acted as the
friends find Dr. Rance ag the surgeon of Mr.
Bossier. The ground wee marked off
at forty paces, and double-barreled shot
guns, loaded with slugs were the weapons
selected. At the first fire Mr. Bossier's
weapon missed fire. At the second fire
Mr.Laresche received a ball in the right
side, immediately under the ribs, the ball
passing entirely through his body. The
young man was borne to the dwelling of h is
parents, on Royal Street, where he died.
Mr. Bossier is a cripple, having lost a leg
in the war. The victim was but a few
months past his twentieth year. Bossier
was arrested and imprisoned. Surgeons
Berjet and Rance were arrested as accesso

An English war vessel has landed a force
on the coast of Southern Guinea, taken pos
session of some of the Portuguese territory,
hauled down the flag of the King of Portu
gal and hoisted the British ensign in its
stead. .Lisbon is vastly excited by this in
telligence, and two Portuguese men-of
war have been dispatched from the Tagus
to the scene of the outrage. The cause of
this action on the part of Queen Victoria's
officers was not set forth clearly in Europe,
and further advises from the African coast
were looked for with anxiety. We under
stand it perfectly, It is all about the negro,

THE ODD FELLOWS' EXCIIRSION.—The
excursion of Monterey and Lancaster
Lodges 1. 0. of 0. F., of this city, took
place, according to the programme, on
Wednesday last. Over one hundred mem
bers of the Order left this city on the 1.10 P.
M. train for Philadelphia where they ex.-
rived the some afternoon at 1:30, and were
received by a committee of Adam and Star
of America Lodges, of that city, and were
conducted to their quarters. In the even
ing a visit was made to the "Star Lodge,"
corner of Broad and Spring Garden streets,
and afterwards the Excursionists were ele
gantly entertained with a fine collation at
Valer's Garden in Vine street, between 7th
and Bth streets.
At 6A. M., on Thursday morning, the
Excursionists assembled at Market street
wharf and took the boat for Camden, at
which place a train of 16 passenger cars
was in waiting, these were immediatelyfill
ed by the Excusionists, who were convey
ed toward Cape May in high spirits. The
scenery along the route through New Jer
sey is not specially pleasing; a monotony
of level sandy land is not very agreeable to
the eyes, and the farmers of that region un
doubtedly deserve great credit for their
perseverance in cultivating such an un
promising looking soil. Huckleberries and
musquitoes were in abundance, the first
were much enjoyed by the Excursionists,
and the latter appeared to enjoy the Excur
sionists as much. The principal amuse
ment of the party consisted in killing these
little innocents, who gave in their bills on
every opportunity. Theparty arrivedat the
Cape at 10 A. M., and stopped at the "Sea
Breeze House," a hotel remarkably well
adapted for the comfort, pleasure, and con
venience of Excursionists. An immediate
rush was made for the briny Ocean and a
dip in its waters amply repaid for any dis
comforts which might have been suffered.
The Hotel is situated quite near the beach,
and the fun of sporting In the water is Im
mense, especially when a wave takes the
uninitiated unawares and lays them out flat
in the water in a manner very destructive
to their dignity. The other amusements
consisted of dancing, boating, and etc., and
in consequence the time for remaining at
the sea side passed away very rapidly and
at 6 P. M., the Excursionists left for Phila
delphia; a portion of them however remain
ed over until Friday, on that day taking
the boat for the city. Cape May is said to
posSess several advantages over Atlantic
City as a Summer Resort, viz; it is an old
er place, better settled, and fixed up for the
accommodation of guests; the Hotels are
nearer the beach and the Waves appear, to
be more genial in this locality.
The Excursionists are under many obli
gations to the Committees and members of
Adam and Star of America Lodges for the
kindness and hospitality extended by them
and aro convinced that the excursion was
conducive of much good in every respect.
RADICAL FIZZLE AT NEW HOLLAND.-
For more than ten days previous to last
Saturday the Radicals had large postersout
through all the townships round about New
Holland, calling upon all who were opposed
to Copperheads, rebels, Sze., etc., and all who
were in favor ol Grant, to assemble in a
grand ratification meeting. Saturday eve
ning came, and the Democrats looked in
Vain for the gathering of the hosts of radi
calism. The crowd which was expected
came not. There were no more country
people in town than on any ordinary Satur
day evening. The band played Its loudest,
but not even the town people could be got
together. A small knot of men, not fifty
all told, and a full third of them Democrats,
finally gathered to hear what could be said
in favor of a continuance of the wasteful
and revolutionary rule of the Radicals.—
Ed. Reed, Esq., spoke first, and being dis
gusted with toe fizzle made his remarks
very brief. He was followed by Wm. A.
Wilson, Dr. Gatchell, Reinoel, Amweg and
Greist. The speeches were all brie; the
orators seeming to feel oppressed by the
diminutive character of the crowd. There
was not a word of argument used by any one
of the speakers. All were foully abusive,
and Dr. Gatchell styled Horatio Seymour,
"au infernal fiend incarnate." That will
do as a specimen of their decency. The
meeting was a miserable • fizzle, and the
speakers were all in a bad humor.
THE SITE FOR THE Hoita.—The Trus
tees of the "Home for 'Friendless Children
for the City and County of Lancaster," have
at length purchased ground on which to
erect anew building for the use of that in
stitution. The point selected is a piece of
ground containing five acres and . twelve
perched,' belonging to William S. Shirk,
and lying on the east aide of South Ann
street, one square south of East King. The
ground chosen is admirably adapted for a
building such as is needed for the Home.—
There is a'gradual • desdent eastward from
the street, which .will be favorable to seW
erage, 4k.c. There are onthe back part of
the ground purchased; a brick dwelling
house, stable, spring house, and a spring
of excellent water. Immediate possession
of the land Will be given, and -the erection
of the new bulhling Nyill be commenced
forth With. The price paid for the property
is $3,300.
Pro-Nfo.—The citizens of Ifinkletown
and vicinity had a very pleasant Pio Nic
on Saturday in Bard's meadow. Therewaa
an abundance of the best refreshments, and

When we arrived on the grctuad some
forty or fifty meg end bop were assembled;
and Adjutant Reincihi was endetiveringto'
explainin the audience what he meant by
his assault upon foreign born citizens, and
his 'nee of the aesertions that they could be

The speakers having exhausted them
selves in talking to empty space, Major
Shenk made a sympathetic appeal to the
little crowd in behalf of the band. He did
not wept money but he wanted them to ac

heard one brave fellow, who had marched
with Sherman from Atlanta to the sea, ar
guing the issues with the Radicals about
him. He was more than a match for any
of his opponents. Thbre were working
men, Democrats, in the crowd who could
have made better speeches than any of those
who attempted it. None of the orators of
the evening touched a single nneof the great
issues of the day. All was a tirade of abuse,
an unmeaning cry about copperheads and
rebels. If the Radicals suppose they can
thus shirk all the questions which are now
agitating the people, they are much mis
taken. The masses are thinking as they
never did before, and will vote understand

The Radicals will find them out In October,
(they do not before.
A WONDERPUL OcCURRENCE! Enos
HATCHED BY THE SUN.—On the 11th of
July, as the wife of Bernard Byrne, a high
ly respectable farmer, residing near the
Buck, In Brumore township, was going
through a field near the house, she found
a nest with seven chicken eggs in it. To
save the eggs from the dogs mho put them
in a basket and stood It in the kitchen on a
table beside a curtained window. The bask
et remained undisturbed, and eight days af
terwards, as the family were taking a meal,
they were startled by the peculiar cries of
a young chick. On investigation it was
found to proceed from a lively youngster in
the basket. In the course of twenty-four
hours six chickens were hatched out, and
are now growing finely. This story is true,
and Is vouched for by Mr. Byrne and his
neighbors, by whom the birds are called
"Sun chickens." This is certainly a novel
idea in chicken raising, and one the like of
which we conceive was never heard tell of
before. The sun has been shedding Its heat
rather roughly on us of late, but we
did not think it was tempered so accurate
ly to the hatching point. It is supposed
that a hen had been setting on the eggs
some time before Mrs. Byrne found the
nest, and that the curtain of the window
temper-d the snn's heat to the proper degree.
Mora—Lancaster county is a wonderful
region. As a producer of the fruits of the
earth it is unexcelled, and as a hatcher of
chickens occupies a proud pre-eminence.
It can't be beat•
HEALTH OF THADDEUS STEvENs.--Thail
dens Stevens has been confined to his bed
in Washington for some days. A writer in
the Washington Chronicle represents him
as expressing doubts as to whether he
would ever return to Washington. He is
expected to make an effort to leave for Lan
caster on Thursday next.
THE NEW POST OFFICE LAW.—The
post office law just passed by Congress con
tains some important changes In the mode
of conducting the business of the depart
ment, and as all our readers are more or
less interested in sending and receiving
letters and newspapers, we publish some of
the provisions of the new law for their in
formation. The law provides that all let
ters on which the name of the sender is en
dorsed shall be returned to him if not culled
for within thirty days; it doubles the com
pensation of postmasters for the payment
of money orders, but reduces the fees on the
same. It permits weekly newspapers sent
to regular subscribers in thelcounty where
published to be delivered free of postage
from the post office Dearest the place of
publication; it also authorizes the issue of
duplicate money orders. This law also
makes it a felony of high character to use
postage stamps a second time knowingly,
and authorizes the Postmaster Gene' al to
prescribe a uniform for letter carriers, and
makes it a misdemeanor for any one else
to wear the same.
LANCASTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.—This association met at the usual
hour on yesterday. George W. Shroyer
had some large Tilden and Key's Early
Prolific Tomatoes on exhibition.' Jl3O. B.
Erb called the attention of the members of
the society to some light raspberries grown
by him.
Henry M. Engle rend two articles from
the New YOrk Tribune, one on Botany and
its study; the other on Vegetable Physiolo
gy. Levi S. Heist, chairman of the associ
ation, then made a few remarks in sup
port of the views enunciated in the article
on the study of Botany ; and stated that he
thought it might be profitably introuced as
a branch of study in our Common Schools.
H. M. Engle coincided with Mr. Heist In
recommending the study of Botany in our
schools.
An interesting discussion then took place
respecting the merits of deep plowing,
which was participated in by several of the
members of the Association.
Jacob M. Frantz inquired as to the pros
pect of the Potatoe crop, and several gen
tlemen present answered that from present
indications the crop would be very good.
Mr. Engle remarked that as soon as the
potatoe tops die, and the potatoes will not
skin, that they should then be raised.
Mr. Rattivon offered the following reso
otion:
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to enquire and report, at the next
stated meeting of the Society, upon the ex
pediency of holding a Fruit and Produce
Exuibition the approaching autumn, and
also the best self.paying plan upon which
it should be conducted.
Tho chairman appointed on the commit
tee Messrs. S. S. Rathvon, Jacob M. Frantz
and John B. Kean:lBk'.
The Society then adjourned
ROBBERY.—The Columbia Telegram
states that a negro raid to be from Harris
burg, on yesterday stole $l5O in Marlene
from Capt. Myers, a boatman. He was af
terwards found in a clothing store in Col
umbia by two: men who were pursuing
him. He ran out of the store and down
Front street on being discovered, but was
finally captured and being taken before
Alderman Evans was, in default of bail,
committed to the Lancaster county prison.
PASTOR CALLED.—The Rev. George Rob
inson, of the New Brunswick (N. Y.) Pres
bytery, has been elected pastor of the Pres
byterian church in East Orange street this
city. Be is to receive a salary of $l6OO a
year, and the parsonage. Elders D. W.
Patterson and Mr. Miller were appointed
as a committee to prosecute the call. We
learn that Mr. Robinson is a recent graduate
of Princeton Seminary, and. is a young
man of fine abilities. Mr. Robinson has
recently been assistant at Dr. Boardman's
church, Philadelphia.
THE OATS CROP.—The farmers of this
county have, in most instances, finished
harvesting the oats crop, and from what in
formation we can gather it has proven to
be a very light yield. The recent severe
rain storm occurred before a large portion
of the crop had been cut down; consequent
ly it was so much tangled and shattered
that a large loss was necessarily sustained
in harvesting it. We are sorry to be com
pelled to state that this grain, which al ways
yields.abundantly in our county, will prove
this season to belittle more than half h crop.
RADICAL FIZZLE .1.:1 MittErisvrram.—
The Radicals tried to get up a Grant Meet
ing in Millersville last night, but it was a
complete fizzle, only about twenty people,
men and boys, being present Charles
Rennes and J. G. Peters, made a few re
marks, but soon gave it up in disgust. The
enthusiasm which was promised for. Grant
does not flow spontaneously and can not
even be pumped•up.,

A HANDSOME MONUMENT TO A SOLDIER.
—One of the handsomest monuments wo
have seen is now standing in the marble
yard of Lewis Reidy, North Queen street.
It is to adorn the grave of a brave soldier
from Little Britain township, who was shot
dead in front of Petersburg in June 18414.
The monument Is of fine Italian marble,
thirteen feet high, consisting of a fluted col
umn, broken at top, resting on a finely pro
portioned base. On the face of the equate
die, surmounted by Bugs and an exquisite
ly carved eagle bearing an olive wreath in
Its beak, are these words cut on a double
raised panel: "To a fallen patriot, our
brother, Robert Maxwell, Corporal Co.
157th Reg. Pt V. ; shot dead charging on
the rebels In front of Petersburg, June 11th,
1804." On the right tablet is this 'naafi!).
non: "In defence of the Government of
the United States, born Aug. Otb, 1832,aged
31 years 10 months and 0 days." On the
left face is this: "Out of love for thee end
thy valor, dear brother, we roar this stone
to thy memory." The design of the monu
ment is tine, the proportions being quite
perfect and the workmanship admirable.
FATAL ACOIDENT.—On Friday a fireman
on an engine attached to one of the freight
trains:going east, on the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad was instantly killed near
Llestonville, Chester county. Whilestand
log on the head light cleaning the smoke
stack of the engine, he was so violently
struck on the head by a bridge that he was
breed head down Wards into the smoke
stack. His body was so forced down the
stack, as to require the aid of ropes and
much force, tollpull lt froln its position. The
name of the unfortunate man was Samuel
Webb, and we learn that he resided near
West Chester, where he leaves a wife and
three children. The deceased wee about 35
years of age, and was much respected by
all who knew him.
REVENUE MATTEES.—The new Internal
Revenue Bill, which received the signature
of President Johnson, on the 30th of the
past month, provides that the functions of
all the inspectors, detectives and special
agents acting tinder the old bill, shall cease
ten days after it becomes a law. An ex
change says that this, with the fact that
distillers generally are making arrange
ments to carry on the manufacture of whie
k.-y under the provisions of the new bill,
accounts for the little now being done in
Revenue matters.
A NEW Tun:ln - kn.—The Express states
that J. M. Frantz, Jacob G. Peters and C.
B. Mylin, having been appointed Commis
sioners to view the Bridgeport and Horse
shoe Turnpike Road, visited this new road
on Monday of last week, and reported to
Governor Geary that It is a first class road,
constructed in a workmanlike manner,
upon which the governorissued a license to
the company who built the road, authoriz
ing them to collect tolls from all who may
use it. The new road extends from near
Witmer's bridge, on the Conestoga, about
a mile east of this city, to where the Horse
shoe Road intersects the Old Philadelphia
and Lancaster Road, a distance of nearly
two miles. The road was made by Jacob
Kautz & Co., who took the contract at $l,
150. A gate has been erected at the cross
roads at the Locust Grove School House,
and David Bair appointed toll gatherer.
SEEING THE StoHTs.--Tbe Reading
Times states that on last Thursday night a
gentleman from Ephrata, Lancaster county,
being in Reading, took it into his head that
he would see the sights, and at a late hour,
even for Reading, he found himself alone
upon the deserted streets. Being of a social
nod companionable nature he hailed the
first man he met, and insisted on taking a
drink with him. They drank, how often
who can tell, but by the time the saloons
had all closed up, they were sworn friends,
and Mr. Countryman insisted upon his
friend accompanying him to his hotel, which
he did. They went to bed, countryman to
sleep, the friend to watch until he slept,
when he quietly possessed himself of his
hospitable friend's money and his boots
In the morning there was a scene, but what
was to be done? Seven dollars and a pair
of boots minus, our rural friend had to bor
row money to buy another pair and to pay
his way home. Such is 'life in:Reading—
atter twelve o'clock at night.
, PROGRESSING.—The Harrisburg Daily
Telegraph states that the work on tho Leb
anon and Pinegrove railroad is, we under
stand, encouragingly progressing. It is
expected that the road will be ready for
through travel in a year's time.
