The 06mm!tteo on -Platform presented the following s., ; Whereas. ; It Is not deemed advisable to change 1 Or 'thodify the existing declaration of principles, but to re-offlrm the.same: . and, for practical uso, enunciate the stance thereof in a more convenient and .concise form, with some additional resolu tions; and Whereas, “ All polltloal power is inherent In tbopeopfr, and free government founded on their authority and established for their benefit;" that all freemen are equal in political rights, and entitled to the largest political and religious liberty compatible with good order of society, ns also the use aqd enjoyment of the fruits of their labor and talents; and - "no man or set of men are entitled to exclusive, separate emolu ments, privileges, or immunities from the government, but Ju consideration of public services;” und any laws destructive of these fundamental principles are without moral binding force, und ghoul d be repealed. To do bo, however, is a difficult work, when such laws or usages are interwoven with pride, prejudice, and selfishness. Besides, experience shows thut laboring people are more than others disposed “ to suffer w bile ovila are sufferable, thuu lo organize for their abolition; and TFAcrca.?, We aro admonished bj’the im perilled rights of labor throughout the Uni ted States to organize und ugitate in our behalf, with the decree, "In the sweat of the facd hlialt thou eut bread,” and the adage thut *' The price of liberty is eternal vigilance,” euthrooed in our hearts und emblazoned as mottoes on our banners, assured of au-cess over corrupt political schemers and the speculators and bankers wtio aro preying like harpies upon the fruit* . of lionest labor, and tnus restore to onr political and social systems that equilibrium of rights and justice mo necessary to good government and domestic tranquility ; therefore, be it Resolved, Thut laborers in all depart meutH uf useful industry are sulk-ring from u wystein of monutury laws which were enacted during the late war as measures, it was ussumud ** necessary to the life of the nation,” and which is now nought to bo perpetuated In thu interest of bondholders and bankers, us a mentis to subvert tbo government of our lathers, and establish v on Its ruins an empire, in whicli all political •gwwur shall be centralized Lo restrain aud the rights of labor, and subordinate Its votaries to the merciless demands of nil aggregated capital and supercilious author ' iiy. Resolved, That the national banking sys tem, being Inimical to the spirit of liberty, und subversive to llw principles of justice, and without warrant in the Constitution ol the United states, aud wrongfully increas ing the burdens of the wealth producing classes millions of dollars uummlty, justice, the aspirations of honest industry, and the npirit of imperilled liberty demand its im mediate repeal and the substitution ol legal tender notes as the exclusive currency of the nation. Resolved, That the 'National Labor Union’ Is opposed to the continuation und creation ot banks by acts of incorporation, by either State or National authority, with the privi lege of making, Issuing, or putting ifi'circu lutiou any notes, bills, or other paper ofauy other bauk to circulate as money, except the “ logal-teudor Treasury notes ” therein contemplated. Resolved, That the present rate of Inter-' ohl is lu excess of and disproportionate to the iuorouao of nationul wealth, aud, being the governing power In the distribution of the products or capital and labor, is oppres sive to tho producing Classen. Resolved, That thu revonuo laws of tho United Hiatus should be ultered so that, In stead of subordinating labor to capital, they may atl’ord Just protection to labor nni the Industrial Interests of the whole country. Resolved, That tho legal Under money should lie mudou legal tender In the pay ment of all debts, public »>ml private, and convertible at the option of Lhu holder into government bonds, boaring interest at the rale of llirco pur cunt, per annum, with pri vilege lo tno holder to reconvert the bonds into money or the money Into bonds, ut pleasure. Resolved, That tho claim of lho bondhold ers, that Lho bonds which wore bought will] greenbacks, and thu principal of which is by luw payable in currency, should never theless be paid in gold, is unjust ami ex tortionate. Resolved, 'Phut ibo exemption horn tax of bonds and securities is a violalioa of the just principle of revenue laws. Resolved, That land monopolies are at •variance with tho doctrine that *• allfree mou, when they form a sociul compact, are equal in rights,” and, if persisted In, must ultimately result iu the subversion of free Institution, as u!so tho social and political well-being of the laboring nonces.

Its importance, there fore, demands the creation of an executive department of tho government at Wash ington, lo be denominated the Department of Labor, which shall aid m : protecting it above all other interests. [A section iu regard to co-opoiutlou Is here omitted, but is given below.] Resolved, That the protection of life, liberty, und property aro.lhethree cardinal principles of'government, aud the two first more aucred than tho latter; therefore, money niTcssmy for prosecuting wars should, as it is required, be assessed and collected from tho wealth of lho country, and not be entailed as a burden on posteri- That the National Labor Con gross earnestly recommends the adoption of such measures among all clas.sea of work men In all sections of the country us will secure tho udoptlon of the eight hour sys tem, und calls upon tho respective Slute Legislatures to follow the example of the National Congress, in recognizing wight hours ns a legal day’s work.

There have passed four teen weeks since ibe adjournment of Con* gress. Grant has passed half of them here, the rest in social uubending elsewhere. They say ho takes gaily to tbo dance at Long Branch, sliding through tho tigures more glibely than at Annapolis and West Point. This is very weli; but the country is asking of him and his Cabinet a few se rious questions that it would be well to have answered from Washington, recep tion balls at tbo seashore notwithstanding. * What about Cuba, South America, Vir ginia, the South, the Alubuma matters aud political assassinations? And then, to tho relution to the doiugs of this great head of the nation, the sume pa per gets off the following: “So far the pettiness of his administration has been tho moat objectionable, and now, playing President, he reminds you of a hoy who wished to be a king, *so that he might ride on tho gate-post all day.’ If he WIU stop buying bagatelles aud parading bis Presidency aloug the porches of the Stetson, and keep to executive business here, he will look more like a successor to Washington-—his ambition, we are told.” The Berks County Agricultural Fair will Beheld at Reading from September 28th to Ootober Ist.

Later developments suggest the necessity of another artiole on this subject, to the end that the Republicans, of Lancaster county j may more fully understand the true char- •' acter of tbq bad and desperate men who have for years controHedjthe' party nomi nations, sold, and fcefoldtbelr representa tives, plundered the publio treasury, ana in various ways and dodges swindled the tax-payers in the most barefaced manner Imaginable. ’ . , Our readers may not all be aware of the fact that the real Thao: headquarters at this time, is in Harriaburg-in the office of tbe State Treasurer. The Tiiug leaders of this oounty have considerable interest in the two millions of dollars reserve fond con stantly on hand, and supposed to be in the treasury, but in reality out on interest and yielding handsome fortunes to those who run tbe Treasury Department. The sum paid for tbe present State Treasurer’s elec tion—s7s 000-may seem large, but ao is the interest on the millions constantly under bis control— enough to enable him to pay said sum and secure himself a princely for tune besides. During the lastsession of tbe Legislature, it will be remembered, Mr. Billingfelt, in tbe Senate, offered a resolution to apply $BOO,OOO of this reserve fund towards.the payment of the State debt, and thus annu ally save'about fifty thousand dollars inter est to the tax-payers. Btft the Treasurer was too strong lorMr.|Billingfelt. By using .bis peculiar kindjof “arguments” very.liber ally, h© succeeded in “convincing” a suifl cent number of members to defeat tbe res olution, and tbhs the plunderers continue to eDjoy tbe full amount of interest on tbe two millions or more of tbe public money! A liberal share of tbil plunder is drawn by parties in this city, and goes far to keep i ullvo the corrupt ring organization now I under consideration. j The State Treasurer, seme time ago, | threatened to defeat tbe ro-nuraination o! Senator Billingfelt, and openly boasted that be would do so at any cost. Ho anu the other public plunderers interested, cun well afford to spend fifty thousand dollars of the people's money, if necessary, to pre vent the re-election of this honest and faithful Senator. It baa been openly and defiantly proclaimed, not only at Hurris burg, butulsout Pithburg, where tho. State Treasurer rt sides, that Mr. BilHngfelt stuill be, and will be defeated. And the money thus filched from the Slate Treasury has arrived—at least one very liberal instal ment ! The ugent of the Treasurer was “round” here, and moral bankrupts and scalawags are now ut work, using this same cash belonging to the people, to buy j up votes against Ksaiaa Billingtelt. And why ? Simply and ODly because ho has been ' faithful to bis constituents—a true repre sentative man of tbe honest and iudepen ilenpltepwbliean voters of Lancaster count}’; because be won’t join the Treasury robbers; because ho conscientiously it to bo liis duty, on the floor of the Henatf), to pro b'd tbe publlcTreaaury'; and represent the best intercuts of tho tax payers J Because ' Mr. Billlngfell’s record is pure ; because he is not a thief; because he cannot he bribed because lie cannot be coaxed or dragooned • by rings, cliques and public plunderers, 1 the present Stale Treasurer has undertaken . the job, with lunds that justly belong to tho peoplo, to corrupt our ballot boxes, ] and if possible, to bribe tho Republican voters, of Lancaster County. But, wo tell this corrupt Ktalo ollicial that ho is mlxtaken in the character of our peo plo. They are not tho contemptible orea tureH ho tukes thorn to be, as ho will find out to his soirow before he is two weeks older. Wo accept tho Issue presented by the Stnto Treasurer, between honesty, fairness, decency and manhood on the one hand, and speculation, corruption, trickery and plun der on the other. Let him help himself to as much money as he may be able to take from the Treasury without risk of indict ment for embvzzlemeut, and let him seud it to the county chiefs of Thuggery. Thoy will need iuill.und more too, tosutisfy their bummers und hangers on, but wo tell the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania that the entire two millions of reserve fund would not be enough to change tho determination of our people to send ILaius Biliiugfolt to ho Senate for three years longer. A Nliochlug Tragedy. Phi la DKi.rn i a , Aug, 121.—A shocking tragedy took plueo boro Ibis morning, iu which mi insane sou shot anil killed bis father. The facts aro ns follows: Mr. Thomas L. Evans, aged G 3 years, engaged in the liual Estate business at No. Ml Wal nut street, wus shot and killed by bis son, Marshall Key Evaus, aged 25 years. It appears the boy has for some twelve yours been a victim to iullummatoiy rbeuuia- 1 tism. His diseased condition render- i ing bun a cripple. ' lie was for merly connected with a wholesale to bacco establishment, but siuce May last has been out of employment. His inability to gel employment so preyed upon bis mind that of late bo bus exhibited unmistakable sigus of insanity. He married an estimuble young lady, with whom bo has lived with perfect harmony, except occasionally bo imagines who attempts to poison him. His wife has been spending the summer season at Riverside, N. J., mukihg occasional visits to her husband, bo staying iu the city in hopes of finding employment, On Saturday last bo went to Riverside, aud while there called bis wife up stairs aud accused her of , having attempted to tako bis lile. Tbero ; was a lurge trunk in tbo room in which tlioy were gruspiug bis wife tightly by the ! bund. Ho dragged her to where tbo trunk I stood, boldiug her at ono band, while with 1 the other bo raised a knife, anti pointing to tbo trunk bo said, “there’s a man in there, if ho comes out we both die, but you must diotirst." He then raised the knito to strike at her heart. Tin wife’s self-possession at this moment was of such a character us to appease him. When he raised the knife sho coolly remarked, “If joii are going to kill mo please cut mo hero,’’ point ing to her throat. A nourish of tbo knife caused some few slight scratch- t es, but boyond that nothing more. Upou j entering tbo room, before seizing his wife, j he barricaded the door by moans of beds and other articles to prevent persons from entering. Young Kvuus returned to this city last evening and went to ins home.— It bad been the intention of his friends to place him iu u luualic asylum, uud iho cor titicato of iusauity would have been pro cured this morning from the family phy syeian. Rather and son retired last night togetuer. About midnight tbo son leaped out of bed, raising a pitcher, declaring men were in the room to kill him. His father argued with him but in vain, he would not listen, he threatened to kill him if he moved, he then left the room und I being away somotime the father went in quest of him nnd found him in the dining l oom brandishing a knlfo* The father rea soned again with his son, coaxing him to come to bod but he would not. Mr. Evans than returned leaving him.— Iu the morning lie found the young muu whore ho left him ; ho refused to oat or re e.eivo any consolation from anybody. Mr. Eubus went up stairs to make arrange ments to see the physician, Marshall fol lowed him, and shortly after three shots wore heurd. The shot and screams from the household caused the neighbors to rush in. The ball entered the abdomen of the unfor tunate man and he died at about «s o'clock. Marshall wus taken to the Central Police .Station where ho is now confined. The house in which tho tragedy was enacted is No. OOd South 10th street, about a squuee from the house in which Mrs. Hill was so brutally murdered.

Ames is satrap in Mississippi, and candidate lor Sonulor. Reynolds is sutiup in Texas, und candidate for Senator. When Grant wus In Harrisburg the othor day he slept with old Simon Cameron, and tbo rosult is a rumor that Don C.uneron, tho Senator’s sou, Is to have a placo In tho Cabinet. Tho Ohio Domocrutia Stato Executive Committee propose to open tho Stato cam paign about the Ist of September. General Samuel F. Cary, formerly u Republican, has already started off on a tour through Ohio to uddress tho workingmen Injfuvor of Pendleton. Tho Brown county (Ohio) News says that sitioe Pendleton’s unminutiou for Governor, Jurnes P. Kimball, Enq., a promising youDg lawyerof Georgetown, who has been on the Republican Executive Commitloo tho past year, aud which position was ten | dored him this campaign, has declared ills | intention to renounce tho Republican party ! and vote ior Pendleton. A remarkable feature in tho local politics of Warren county, Ohio, is reported in the Cincinnati Gazette. The Republican party Is split in twain botweon an allopathic fac tion and a homeopathic faction, Tne phy sicians of the older school have a secret combination, by means of which they have defeated the nomination or election of overy man in tho couuty who has had tho temer ity to employ ft homcoopathic physician. The party lines are now rigidly drawn be tween the physicians and followers of tho two systems, giving tho Democracy a fair chanoe of oarrying tho county. This is probably tbo first instance In the history of the country oi administering politics on allopathic or h.omcoopathic principles. Riot fit Blncon. Memphis, Aug. 24 -The Appeal’s Lufay ettefTenn.,) special of last night says: A riot occurred on Sunday at Macon, urising from difficulty between a negro aud a white boy, several whites and negtoes joining the party. The light soon became general und pistols were freely used. One white and several negroes were wounded, and one of the latter was killed outright.— The negroes finally drove the whites from the ground. The sheriff and a posse arriv ed from Somerfield yesterday morning aud found a hundred and fifty negroes armed with guns and pistols. The sheriff or dered them to give up their arms which was replied to by a volley from the negroes. The citizens joined the sheriff’s party and a general fight ensued, lasting an hour, dur ing which four whites were wounded and two negroes believed to have been killed.— Despatches were sent; to Memphis for a body of armed police to come out but the negroes bad in the meantime dispersed and all is now quiet with no signs of another disturbancei Heoisteb or Sales.—The following is a list of the sales of Beal Estate, to beheld on their reapeotlve dates as advertised In the XkiblliqEhoee, and for which blue have been printed at this office: PUBLIC SALK.

D., 18(39, of the Court ; of Lancaster county, respectfully report: \ That we have returned forty-seven as truo ; bills and iguored forty-six. i A large number of tho cases heard were of the most trivial ebaraoter, the returning [ of which only involved tho county ia need less expense. That we have visited the Hospital, Alins House, Farm and County Prison, aud > found them each and all in tho very best condition : rooms, beds and gardens culti vated with great care. The Hospital, under the mauagemont of Mr. Steinhauser, is such, in our opinion, as to merit the warmest praise and highestap proval of every taxpayer and lover of the human race and of the nnfortunato class pluced under his cure in this couuty. We regard the salary paid him as entirely in adequate, taking Into consideration tho on erous duties devolving upon him, und would rocommend an increase. Mr. Spiehlman, Superintondeut of the i Alms House, is also in our opinion a very I efficient officer, and not sufficiently oom j pemmted for his services, and would there ■ fore recommend an increase of his salary. 1 We found tho County Prison in good con i diiion and were well pleased with tho management, under Mr. Sensenig. 1 In the caso of Mary Ann Horner now in prison for costs, in view of her being the ouly support of a family of small children, wo would recommend and advise that tho County Commissioners remit tho sume. The Barn on the Alms House property being inadequate In our opimou for the proper storage of the crops wo would strongly recommend the erection of a new one, at a point to be agreed upon by the Directors. The new Hospital building not being supplied with blinds we recommend that each and every window bo furnished with the same. It having been brought to our notice that a flight of steps is much needed on the west side of tho Court House leading to Court Avenue, wo therefore recommend the erection of tbo same by the Commis sioners of tho couuty immediately. Tho Jury desire to return their most sincoro thanks and high appreciation for the nmuy favors received from tho Honor able Court, tho very gentlemanly, most übio and efficient officer .Sheriff Frey, who has filled tbo ofllco with so much credit tc tho county : tbo Diatriot Attorney Mr. Geo Brubaker, for his kindness to us anc? promptness in despatching business.

We are informed that the amount of timber in a raft (on an average) is about 7,000 cubic feeti according to which there were about 5.000,000 eu&io feet of timber went down the river bdotc this point. There were soino board rafts amoug them, birt the greater part were square—timber rafts.
