The Financial Leggelotion and Jobe of Congress. The curse of this country is the incapacity and indisposition of Congress to legislate on great national principles and Interests. Little thought is given to the general wel fare of the people or of the republic in its entirety, and we see no statesmanlike grasp of questions bearing upon the mighty des tiny of the nation. That body is composed for the most part of local politicians, whose vision does not reach beyond the narrow limits of their districts or States, who look only to what affects them personally and who have no idea of thogrowing wants and grand future of the court trv4S tatesmen look to the futu re and lay the fo - undations for it in their policy, but these men can see only the present and that merely in small things. It is true there are gigantic jobs brought be fore Congress and members understand these well enough. They aro sharp busi ness men, so far as their own interests go, though not statesmen. They seem to have an idea that while they are taking care of themselves the country can take care of it self: Fortunately this is so to some extent; for the wonderful resources of the republic and industry of the people overcome, in a great measure, bail legislation or the want of good legislation. Still, the corruption, incapacity and contracted views of our na timull legislators are demoralizing and must in the end hail to serious conse quences. Vire look over the proceedings of Congress from day to day, and find that nearly every question that comes up has a job in it— some political and party job, seine sectional or local job in favor of a particular locality h•r class, or some job to put money into the 111101(121,1 Of the 1110111 berm themselves and of their fricinls.

Colen,. of Mercer county, the young champion of the Democracy of Ohio, as temporary chairman, after which com mittees on credentials and permanent or ganizations and to select a State Central Committee were appointed. Hon. L. D. Campbell was elected Perma nent Chairman. The following nominations were made: Secretary of State, Wm. Heisley, of Cleve land; Supreme Judge, R. 0. Harrison, of Lorain ; Comptroller of the Treasury, John H. Heaton, of Belmont; Member of the Board of Public Works, Wm. Spencer, of Licking. Gen. George W. Andrews, of Auglaize county, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, submitted the following plat form of principles: The Democrats of Ohio corning together in a spirit of devotion to the doctrine and faith of free representative government, and relying for success upon discussion and the intelligence of the people, deem the present convention a fitting occasion to re assert the following time-honored princi ples: That the Federal Government is ono of limited power, derived solely from the Con stitution; that the grants of power made therein ought to be strictly construed by all departments and agents of tho Govern ment, and that it is inexpedient and dan gerous to exercise doubtful power; that the Constitution is founded on the fundamental principle of entire and absolute equality of all the States in the Union, and it is not competent for Congress to impose upon them any conditions or restrictions in re spect to their internal concern which the Federal Constitution has not imposed; that the liberal principles embodied by Jeffer son in the Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which make ours the land of liberty and the asy lum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles or the Demo cratic l'aith, and every attempt to abridge the privileges of becoming citizens and owners of the soil among us ought to be resisted with the salmi spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute books; and in order that we may more distinetly declare our views tattle measures and ;folic.y of the present Administration. Re.sulved, That we denounce the present tariff:is well its the substitute lately intro duced in the I louse of Representatives from the Committee (.r waym :11.111,.a.u5, as a gigantic roblicry or the labor and i ndu stry of the country; that they al.e solely dosignod to advance the interest of a line thousand Inopplist,, mid that this should no longer Mr submitted th; that no eandidate for Con gress. nor for :my other is worthy of support who is not in favor of a low tariff, which closely allprloXinintes to free trade; that in the arrangement of any rovenue neeessaries or hit . .• should be a1.,- lithely free of duty.

Storer, Capt. James Bryant, as she lay at her dock, had of Beekman street, I,ast River. 'rho tire originated in sonic unknown manner, in the aft-hold, on the port side, among some '.:50 bat rely or lard that had just been taken on board.— owing to the inflammable nature of this portion of her cargo, the flatnes gained rapid headway, and were in heavy volumes when the firemen arrived on the scene. So much spate had bens gained by the element that a second alarm was given anti a new line of steamers called into requisition.— 'rhe Police steamboat Metropolitan, and the Fire steamboat Andrew J Fuller, were also notified of the fire, and in due time both vessels arrived and contrihuted their quota of powerful streams for the effort to quell the flames. So rapid was the progress made by the firemen that the hold of the burning vessel soon began to till, and the bulk of water heroine so great that the doomed ship be gan to sink at her moorings, and keel over toward the dock. By dint of bard work the tierce torrent of flame between decks was kept under control, and it seldom made its appearance in the open air, though the vicinity was completely darkened by the black smoke that was constantly vomited from the opened hatchway. This rendered it quite hazardous for the Fulton ferry boats to ply to and fro, and necessitated the use of extra strong lights to enable the pilots to make successful landings. For over two hours the lire continued to retain partial possession of the ship, when the water thrown on board proved so great in that time that she settled in the bottom of the slip, the flames being confined to the upper between-decks. The valuables be longing to the Captain and other portable property were taken possession of by the Insurance Patrol, and banded over to th e custody, of the police. The loss on vessel and cargo is roughly estimated at $150,0W, equally divided, and upon which there is considerable insurance. The vessel is well known in our mercantile marine, and ar rived in port from Liverpool on the 17th ultimo, and was receiving cargo prior to another voyage to Europe. As we go to press the flames are still burning, though under complete control. Proceedings of Congress. WASHINGTON, May 31 In the U. S.

IM3=9 Aodnelty of the log - moons Eyr WASH INtrroN, June 'l.—Minister Thorn ton has received and forwarded to the Se cretary of Suite copies of mifinitillieation , submitted on the tfad of April last by Capt. Eyre, of the Bombay, which ran down the United States Steamer Oneida, last winter, and by the Board of Directors of the Pen insular and Oriental Steamship Company of London, to the Board of Trade, for them to forward to the Lords, etc., praying that the slight punishment ordered by the Court of Inquiry ita the ease of Captain Eyre, be removed, mid the Board's reply thereto. The Board of Directors of the steaniShip company state that they have had the re port of the proceedings in the inquiry Un der their serious consideration, and they cannot but feel that the derision arrived at by the court on the conduct, of Capt. Eyre after the collision was not warranted by the evidence laid before it. It appears to the hoard that Capt. Eyre, both before and after the collision, did all that a prudent and ex perienced seaman could do, and under these circumstances the board request that the lords of the committee review the eVi deuce taken at the court of inquiry, and give consideration to any statement which Capt. Eyre may make, and express the hope that they will see tit to return to him Iris certificate. The board submit a letter from Captain Eyre, and in that connection state that he has been in their employ eleven years, three years of which as a commander, and has always borne the highest character.— 'they state that they are quite unable to ex press in adequate terms their deep sorrow that an accident in which one of-their com pany's steamers was concerned should be attended by a lamentable loss of life. The most profound sympathy is felt by them for all the citizens of the United States who have unhappily lost relatives or friends by the foundering of the Oneida, but they can not help entertaining a confident hope that a careful revision of the circumstances of the case will result in the removal of the unfavorable impression which now exists there and here as to the conduct of Captain Eyre after the collision. In Captain Eyre's memorial to the board he states that he would have rendered assist ance to the Oneida if he had thought she needed 0, as he had seven boats, capable of carrying from one hundred and ninety to two hundred inca and even if his own ves sel had been seriously injured he could have spared several of them. In the reply of the Board of Trade the latter state that they aro of the opinion, after carefully revising the record of the court, that he was guilty of a gross breach of the thirty-third section of the merchant shipping act, Which clearly states that-all -assistance possible in case of collision must bo rendered; and are further of opinion that the sentence of the court in suspending his certificate for six months only, so far from being too severe, is more lenient than the gravity of the offence required, as well as the enactment to which they referred, that simply embodies the dictates of hu manity, and that in disebeying it he has been guilty not only of an offence created by statute, but of a disregard of the natural duties which circumstances of clanger such as that of the Oneida Impose upon those who have been the unwilling cause of the danger ; and they are especially anxious to express emphatically their sense of the importance of those duties at a time when the increase of rapid steam navigation aug mente the :danger' of collisions and renders the performance of those duties more im perative. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY A Wealthy Diamond Broker Gagged, Drugged, and Robbed In a Hotel —llhiStatement. About 21 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a tall dark man, dressed in dark tweed clothes, and bearing the appearance of a Sicilian, called at the office of I% , fr. Joseph E. Isaacs, a diamond merchant doing busi ness at N 0.57 East Thirteenth street; stated to Mr. Isaacs that he had about $lO,OOO worth of diamonds and Jewelry and several pounds of gold dust, which he desired to dispose of, and invited him to call at the St. Nicholas Hotel yesterday to examine his jewelry. Mr. Isaacs agreed to call, where upon the stranger told him to inquire for Signor Carlos Dejulis, Room No. 4.50. Mr. Isaacs statement is as follows: In pursuanceof an engagement with De julis, I called at the St. Nicholas Hotel and inquired for him at the clerk's office direct ed. I was conducted to room No. 450, which is in the sixth story and facing on Mercer street. On rapping for entrance, the door was opened by Dejulis, who shook hands with me and invited me in. He looked at his watch, which I noticed was silver, and which ho held partially covered with his hand, as though to conceal it from me, and remarked that I was a very purse- tout man. I took a chair, and entered into conversation with him. He said he had such a large quantity of goods to sell that he did not suppose I was prepared to pay for them, and that he had better call at m office about II o'clock. 1 told him that was all right ; that I didn't often leave the office to look at goods, but since I was there, I thought I had better see them. lie then left the room to gin to the office, as I sup posed to get the diamonds ; in four or live :ninnies Inc returned with a black leather valise in his hand; I asked him if he had the diamonds in that; ho replied that he had, at least steno of them, and again pro posed to tall at may office; I told him I would wait and see them ; ho then took some keys from his pocket, one of which he tried and finding that it would not lit, exclaimed that he had got the strong key, and again left the room, with a remark about seeing his sister and procuring the right kes ; after a minute avid a half lie returned, with an other mat about rt feet S inches in height, with black hair, side whiskers anti inns taelot, and who looked like an Italian bri gand ; the awe men conversed in Freneh or I tall inn Mr a few moments, when the second man opened the valise, in which, on ap prtaehing :tearer, I saw a eigmr L ix ; I pia on illy glasses, supposing the box contained the jewelry, and asked the two men if dia -111.1141s wore in the box, or whether it contained cigars; Dtjulis replied that it Celliahled the thahlollllS, and imme diately sprang upon me front behind, thrusting his thumbs in my mouth and lingers in my ears, 'drawing my mouth wide open, su that 1 could make no outcry, while the other man tied my hands behind nit. I succeeded in breaking away from them, and was about to leap from the window when I remembered that it Was six stories from the ground ; I then shouted for aid to the best of my ability,— The strange man again approached mo with a dagger or poniard, the blade of which was at least or 15 inches long, and holding it over my - throat, said that if I inado any noise he would bury it in my heart. Ile then procured a towel, and :titer saturating it with chloroform put it over my mouth and nostrils, Dejulis gagging, my mouth with his thumbs in the mean time. I then fell on tlie floor; I remember ono of them taking my pocket-book, after which I fainted.- IVhet I recovered I was in the greatest agony ; niy hands and legs were tied with ropes, and iny mouth torn and bleeding. I shouted for assistance for full 10 minutes, when some one knocked at the door; I explained: my condition as well as I could, the d o or acts opened, and a carpenter who was at work MI the premises cut the ropes, which was the only attention I received. I lay on the floor a few minutes longer, no one offering to assist me. I then arose and went with some detectives, who came in, to the private office of the hotel, where 1 explained the matter to thew, after which we proceeded to the Po lice I leadquarters, where I made my statement to Superintendent Jourdan and Capt., Kelso. Dejulis and his accomplice robbed me of my pocket book, containing nearly $5OO in greenbacks, three gold pieces fastened together with a ring, a $5 gold piece, and nearly $l,OOO worth of promisso ry nites, a ring with eight diamonds in cluster, and a ruby worth $l5O. I had also a watch anti chain - in my pocket, a diamond scarf-pin in my scarf, and a diamond clus ter broach, and a solitaire diamond ring in my pocket, all ta' which they neglected to take. Mr. Isaacs is a man apparently 50 years of age, about 5 ft,et 11 inches in height, compactly mid stoutly built. His lips uro very much swollen, his mouth and ears larcerated by the rough treatment he re ceived, and his wrists and ankles aro cut by the cords with which he was tied.—N. T.

CoNsrANYEvortm, June 6.—Yesterday. afternoon :Lout 1 o'clock a tiro broke out, which spread with alarming rapidity through the richest quarters of the city.— The Ilatn es were first discovered in an old building in Vera, on the north side of the (;olden Horn. A strong Wind was blowing at the time, and the lire quickly commu nicated to the adjoining buildings. The efforts of the firemen and citizens to stop the progress of the names were futile, and in a few hours the residences of the English, A merican and PollugueseAni bassadors and Consulates, Nauna Theatre, many churches tool mosques, thousands of houses, and the richest stores and shops in the city worn re duced to mdies. The loss of life by falling walls has been fearful. It is estimated that at least thirty people have been killed or injured by this cause ttlone. The loss is in calculable. The lire at this hour (noon) is still burning fiercely, and the exciteonait of the people beggars description. CoNsTANYINorim, June G.—The confla gration has been checked, though the flames are still raging fiercely at some points. They cannot spread. Ilouses have been blown up and the lire isolated. The l o gs of property iv n 11111011,40, as the burned di,triet includes one of the wealth iest and Lest built quarters of the city. All the ,urchieves and plates of the British le gation were saved. The San Domingo Treaty WAsuiNuTus, May 31.—The President to-day transmitted to the Senate a briefines sage upon the San Domingo treaty, enclos ing an additional artielo 10 the treaty ex minting the time tin• its ratification to June lie suggests certain amendments which lie ileems it desirable the Senate should in corporate in the treaty. La these amendments it is proposed that the paragraph giving the United States a lien upon the public lands the republic as a security for the undefined debt shall be stricken out and that the sum proposed to be paid Mr the island,sl,soo,ooe, shall lie absolutely the entire amount to be paid by this government. It is also proposed that two commission ers shall be appointed, iris by the Domini can government and one by the United States, to receive this money and to apply it to the extinguishment or the Dominican debt in the folluwingorder. First—Te the payment of foreign govern ments who may have claims against the re public. ,Second—To the payment of individ u al creditors who may not be citizens of the re- td.v/—'l'n the extinguishment lumrstie dell. Beyond this payment of $1,500,000 this govelliment is not to be liable in any man- This leave; the Dominicans liberty to do .s they plea_sed with their domestic debt— repudiate it or not ; but they express great vonlidence Chat this sum will not enable them to liquitate all their indebtedness, but will leave them a alanoe of ;3,00,000 or tun, 00U for the expenses of territorial gov ernment. The Irish Land bill has passed the House of Commons and been read in the I louse of Lords, where it may possibly be delayed, but will eventually pass. That the bill will give peace and prosperity to Ireland is not as certain :LS its most ardent advocates have hoped ; but there is little doubt that it will, in large measure, mitigate the evils under which Irish tenants have so long groaned. In effect the bill simply gives the Irish tenant a right to his crop and his improve ments. Legally they have always belong ed to him, but the landlords privilege of increasing rents exorbitantly, or annulling leases without notice, gave them the power of ejectment at will, to the loss of the tenant, By this law the tenants' rights to buy the land or to sell his improvements on "notice to quit' are settled. Interference with the domestic affairs or religious or political concerns of a tenant are also prohibited. The arbitrary powers of the landlord are abridged; the rights of the tenant are en larged. 'The British Government, for the first time, restrains the Landlords and pro tects the Tenants. Against landlords and their professional agents the Irish have as bitter prejudice as it is said the Maories of New Zealand have against soldiers by pro fession. The New Zealanders, according to an English legend, never see men wear ing red garments, doing no work, neither buying or selling, and always with arms in their hands, but they incontinently fall upon and destroy them. The Irish have heretofore had a habit of extending like welcome to the men who collect the rent, and the prejudice in each instance seems to have been well founded. A Negro • Senator Nominated--The Ne groes Clamorous for Office—Whites Dim gusted. WILMINGTON, Juno 3.—The Republican County Convention, which closed its ses sion here last evening, nominated a negro for Senator, and three negroes for the Low er House of the Legislature; also a negro candidate for sheriff. Great dissatisfaction is expressed by many white and some col ored Republicans, and a new Convention will probably be held. It is fear some of the leaders of the party, that the dis Pos ition shown by the negroes to monopolize the offices, will have a disastrous effect on the counties, which now have whiteße °publican majorities. • The partnerahip be tween the negroes and the "carpet-baggers" seems completely dissolved. iLocal Intrlligencr. I=l Continued wet weather has, in more than one sense, thrown "cold water" on the June Meeting of the Lancaster Agricultural Park Association. The races advertised for last Wednesday had to be postponed to Friday. On Friday, the track was worse than ever, and as the 2:30 horses, entered for the sloeo premium, refused to run, and some of them had to leave here to meet their engagements at Williamsport, the race was indefinitely postponed, mid the other races postponed until Saturday. On that day the wuid still continued to blow from the east, and threatened rain. The consti tutional grumblers found fault with the Directors for selecting such a wet week. The usual stereotyped anathemas were launched against the "clerk of the weather," while more facetiously-inclined fellows suggested that our "young, vigorous and energetic" city authorities should have an ordinance passed emnpelling all the weather-vanes to turn their heads to the west for the next three days. A goodly number of matter-of-fact people, however, determined to see the sport, if there was to be any, and under umbrellas or in omni buses, wended their way to the Park through the mud, and by noon were dis cussing in the neighboring restaurants tho question of race or no race. At a little after one o'clock it commenced raining, and continued to rain until half past two, when the Directors of the Associ ation called the owners of the pacing horses together in their office and gave them the privelege of either trying their horses or postponing the race. They determined to wait until Tuesday in hopes of better weath er. The owners of the running horses were then consulted, all of whom were present except Mr. Pfautz, who owing Doll, and, as the sun was beginning to show it self, they determined to run for the premi um during the afternoon. Preparations were at once made, and a moderate number of persons were soon on the grand stand. The pool market was opened and a few pools sold, the rates being about to one, J nbal against the ilohl. A fe w 1)001,1 were wild with .Julial excluded, when the odds were about S to I on Sorrel Dan against all the others. In the meantime there was anothershow er of rain, and it was 4 o'clikik before a start could be effected. Jubal was the first to put in au appearance. this rider wore a red jacket :tint yap, and weighed 101pcunds. Sorrel Dan next made a show, his rider wearing a blue uuilbrw, :mil weighing 104 11011111 IS. Iticlunund appeared with a pur ple rider, weighing leo pounds. Rock a green Imo, weighing ICU pounds, and Wick ed Frank was ridden by a colored boy, dressed in black, and weighing pounds. Doll was aiming the luisamg. , Riehmond ton the pole, Sorrel Dan sec ond, Rock third, Wicked Frank fourth and Jlll.l outside. t: RAM:. Fled( Ilewt.—After ono false start the horses got away very iivenly. ALM,' lower turn, Sorrel Dan took a slight lead, closely followed by Rock, .1 übal, ;mil Wicked Frank,—ltichniond laboring in the rear.— Along the back stretch, Sorrel Dan opened the gap between himself and his pursuers, whereupon Juba!, who had been held hard in hand front the beginning, let out a link or two,and reached the dank of Sorrel Dan. which position he kept until the horses swung round the corner, when there was a very pretty race between them down the straight, and they crossed the half-milo ;wore neck and neck. Luring the second half-mile, Sorrel lion led slightly all the was round until they turned into the home stretch, when Jabal, who had been kept waiting,was given the rein and came up to Dan. Dan was given the whip, lint Jabal oUtStopped hint and: crossed the score a short length ahead, taking the heat in 2 min. 4 set% Muck .11110 in a bad third, and Wicked Frank and Richmond Were dis tanced. Tho ease with which Jabal took the first heat convinced all present that lie would win the race, which made pool selling an up-hill business, as everybody wished to bet on J ad. The auctioneer did his best, however, to revive the drooping spirits of the supporters of the ticld. " Ten dollars in the pool" says he "and Juba! sold; what's lrid for the field? Only ten dollars on Jubal—what will Von give for the whole field !" "I'll give $3 . 00 an acre," replied a serious looking wag, who takes more pleas ure in a good joke than in dabbling in real I estate. That pool was not ! After giving the horses half an hour to cool off, the bell rang fur the Screw/ Heaf.—The horses, after one false start, got away very evenly. Sorrel Dan took the lead, followed by Hock--.Jabal, as before, held back. There was but little change in the position of the horses until they reached the upper turn, when Jubal, as before, closed in and took second place. In passing the half-mile post, Sorrel Dan was two lengths ahead of Jabal, and Jul al about the same distance ahead of Rock. During the second half-mile Rock gradual ly fell behind, and Julial gradually closed on the sorrel, until, in turning, into the homestretch, the horses were again neck and neck. Curly, who rode the Sorrel, de termined to win the heat if he could, and applied the silk right vigorously. The horses dashed along through the loud side Iry side, but Charley Wise, the mount of J übal, knew exactly what seas in his horse, and what he wanted out of him. As soon us called on Julial jumped to the front and crossed the score scarcely a length ahead, in 2:71 winning the heat and the race.— Rock Caine in half a dozen lengths behind.

These horses ran at Trenton, N..J., last week, and made their mile in I:461, J übal winning the first race and Jerrold the second. Messrs. Paris Haldeman, R. I'. Spencer, and John lloerner were Judges of the first race, and Mr. A. C. Kepler, flagman.— Mr. Hoerner haring left the stand before the second race came oil, Mr. Kepler was substituted in Isis stead as a Judge. MONDAY AFTERNOON.—The warm sun of * Sundav had greatly improved the con dition of the track by the time the races took place on Monday afternoon, though in front of the Grand Stand and at a few other points there was considerable mud. The attendance was far from being as good as it should have been • the grand stand was not one-fourth filled, while the open stand and the ground was but poorly patronized. The first race was for a premium of ~ , , • 200, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for Lancaster county horses that have never beaten 3 minutes. The first horse to secure $125, the second $3O, and the third $25. Paris Haldeman's brown mare Juliet, George Grossmau's sorrel horse f teorge, M. MacGoingle's grey mare Sal, and H. C. Morrison's roan horse Frank, had been en tered for the race, but Frank did not snake his appearance on the track. Before starting, George was a decided i favorite, and sold n the pools at $lO to 33 against the field. First .11 - mt.—At the fourth attempt, the horses got a good send-off, Juliet slightly in the lead. Sal broke soon after leaving the score, but soon settled down again to her work. Juliet kept the lead till the quarter-mile pole was reached, when George placed himself beside her and passed her on the upper turn, swinging into the straight about Ono length ahead, crossing the half mile score half a length in advance of Juliet. Sal being in close attendance, made a dash and passed both the others on the lower turn, and in creased the gap along the backstretch.— Along the upper end, George began closing in on the grey, but he was too far off to catch her. She crossed the score three lengths ahead, taking the heat in 3:031. Juliet brought up the rear, being 5 or G lengths behind George. After the first heat Romeo, Blue Belle and Dave ran a heat for the $250 premium ; but for convenience we omit it until the other race is disposed. Second Hcat.—Sal was now the favorite in the pools at MOM than two to ORO. After one false start the horses got away well to gether, Juliet again slightly in the lead, Sal second, and George last. Along the back-stretch Sal pulled out to the front about two lengths, Increasing the distance to six lengths at the quarter mile pole, and eight or ten lengths at the end of the half mile. She continued to gain during the second half-mile, and crossed the score in 2:56, distancing both her competitors, and winning the race.

Dave, notwithstanding his heavy body and big feet, is a square trotter, and with practice will yet mark time low down in Lhe thirties,. while Sal proved the truth of the ancient/saw that the "grey mare is sometimes the Irter horse." Mr. Maclionigle handled the lines of both winners, and deserves Much credit for his skillful driving. Tuesday Afterneen.—Weather warts and track in good condition. Two races were advertised, the first fur a pacing premium of $lOO, open to all horses; the second fora trotting premium of $2OO, for Lancaster County horses that have never beaten 4 minutes. For the first event John G. Butler, Red Squirrel and Joe Hooker were entered.— Red Squirrel won the pole, Butler second and Hooker outside. Pools sold at $lO to ; 1 ,5 on Hooker against the field. First Ireat.—At the second attempt to get off, Joo Hooker east a shoo, which caused a delay of fifteen minutes. As soon as the shoe Was nailed on the horses were called and got off at the first attempt, John If. Butler slightly in the lead. At the lower end he took the inside from Red Squirrel, and continued to lead the race along the back-stretch, until he broke, when Hooker showed to the front and stayed there, crossing the halt mile score 3 lengths ahead of Butler, Rod Squirrel being several lengths behind. Thy second half mile was paced by llookerand Butler without change of position except that Butler once or twice made an effort to close the gap and broke up in doing so, giving Hooker the heat by 3 lengths in ; lied Squirrel broke badly, on the last half mile, and lost so much ground, that he could not save his distance, though he came down the homestretch at a rat tling pace. Second Heet.-litr even after two failures. Hooker soon took the lead, and kept it, both horses pacing very tinoly around the lower turn and along the back stretch. At the upper corner, Butler broke and lost a length or two, which distance [looker kept up until he crossed the half mile score. tin tho second hal f-mile,Butler brokebadly sev eral times, which destroyed all chance o is winning and he might easily have been dis tanced had Hooker been pushed, but his dri ver seeing he had the race in his hand, held him up, and let Butler come within three or four lengths of him, crossing the score that distance ahead, and winning tho heat aryl race in 2:3.1.

THE PRESIDENT TO VISIT LANCASTER.-- When Urant was "swinging round the circle," last summer, he made a brief halt in our city, and, as our readers will re member, concluded the few stammering remarks lie !mule by promising to come back again.

The President, is expected to tarry over night in our city, and will no doubt be pleased to see his admirers during the eve ning. CoNEsTooA CENTRE ITESIC.—_Vessr.o.Rl - ()0 Tuesday night la_st some burglars broke into the house of Mr. Benjamin Markley, adjoining Conestoga Centre, and into the hotel of G. J. Id ildebrani, in Con estoga Centre, and on Thursday night very probably the same ones broke into the store cellar of Christian Good, and into the car riage maker shop of Mr. Henry Reese both in the same village. They did not suc ceed in getting much. At the last place they took some tools, and at the others principally provisions. Christian Good hearing a noise got up and looked out, when he saw a wagon in front of the house and a roan coming out of the cellar, who quickly drove orb. A boy, aged about Id years, son of Mr. lienjrunin Bortzfield, of Conestoga Centre, recently fell from a tree and broke an arm. Ile was attended by Dr. S. S. Mehalfey. Shad in considerable numbers and of size, are still being caught at the different " batteries" along the river. U. S. ISI2ItOLARY AT MILLLERSVILLE.—The dwelling house of Mrs. Margaret J. Cassi dy, at Millersville, was entered between one and two o'clock Saturday morning, by three men, and robbed of a ladies' gold watch and about one hundred dollars, most of the money being in gold and silver. Two of the men with faces masked visited the second story, where Mrs. C. and a boy were sleeping, one of them taking his stand by the side of her bed and threatening to shoot her if she did not tell where the "bonds" were, while the other one searched for valuables. She told them that her bonds were in bank. Ono of the men found the money and the watch, when the party left, stating that if she made an alarm within an hour after their departure, they would kill her. A boy, about fifteen years old, occupied a room adjoining that of Mrs. Cassidy. One of the men entered his room also, and took a small sum of money from hint, threatening to cut his throat if he muds an alarm. A third man ransacked the low er part of the house. The entrance was effected through a door in the back part of the house, by means of nippers. A reward of 3100 is uttered for the recovery of the prop erty and the arrest of the burglars.—Express.

WHIT MONDAY.—This ancient holiday which has been observed time out of mind by the lads and lasses of the rural districts of our county, is gradually but surely going into a decline. The flying horses that erst delighted the young of both sexes as they swung around the circle with wonderful rapidity. have already been numbered among the things of the past, as have aLso the booths formerly erected for the sale of small-beer, tough pies, peanuts, and instead of fond lovers walking arm and arm along the streets with little fingers hooked, and lips sweetened with "horsey-cakes," the demoralized young country men are now a-days apt to betake themselves to the beer saloons and indulge in lager and bagatelle, while the young women feast their eyes on the facinating millinery and other gew gaws of fashion that adorn our shop win dows. While the mothers were happy in their girlhood in pun-basing and perform ing on their favorite instrument, the sc . ordeon, of which one firm used to sell hundreds every Whit Monday, many of their daughters aspire to the more fashion able and costly melodeon and piano. Thedecline;if Whit-Monday observances was particularly noticeable on Monday. Al though the day was fine the streets were not nearly so thronged as heretofore, nor did the crowd present its usual rural and rustic appearance. Many of the beaux and belles could scarcely be distinguished in dress and style front our less robust but more roughed city ladies. There were a few noticeable exceptions, however, among whom we noticed two young couples enter tine of our prominent ice-cream saloons. They were attired in regular county cos tumes. The boys were tanned brown by expose re to the sun, while the faces of the girls were ruddy as apples. Seating them selves they called ter " two five-cent saucers of ice-cream and four spoons." (in being informed that ten COWS a saucer was the lowest price at which that luxury was sold, the innocent and happy quartette said they would take "one saucer of cream with four spoons!" Very few of them visited the races at th Park. The charge of 5U cents admission' and 25 cents additional for a ticket to the grand stand, being re(4noled as an exherlii tant es tortion. Marsdorf's (sinisirt at Ful ton Hall was better patronized, and the scat in Cent!, Silll,lre, 1,1,L of all.

The wheat in this section presents a remarkably line appear alive, the monthly report of the Commis sioner or the Department of Agriculture to the contrary netwithsuunling. Apropos front where and from whom does the Com missioner of Agriculture get his reliable information in regard to the condition of the one's? According I, his report we would infer that appearanet, indicate a poor crop in nearly all the counties:of Pennsyl vania, but three counties being reported :es "fair," one "lino," and one "unusually tine." But if the report is :LS far front be ing correct in regard to other counties (:uul we think we have reliable information which proves that it is) as It is in regard to Lancaster, in which wheat is reported "thin and poor," while it is the contrary, no eontidence earn be placed in it. We t wee, ‘,.11,1 see the use of issuing these monthly reports at a large expellso to the govern ment, while they are iu many respects se unreliable, and always so much behied time. A report of the appearance of the wheat in Islarch is of nu practical benefit to any one in the middle if May, which is about the time that the reading public re ceives the usejet and reliable+ information contained in these reports. W'o do not wish to be understood as saying, that these re ports cheat not be made interesting, useful :Old' trustworthy, under proper manage ment, and if they would reach tho public in due season, but under present management they are only an expense to the government. Wheat promises to be over an average crop, alid tea} - equal last year's crop Which Was acknowledged by all to have been the m heaviest for a nube - r of years. At the be ginning of May a few late sowed fields, on northern slopes with a poor soil were "poor 11101 thin," but the favorable weather since has made a decided fin prevenient, and they now present a "fair" appearance. Some of the wheat has been lodged during the rains of the last week, which will be light in the grain if it does not rise again ; the probe hility is though that the greater part will rise again if it gets a few sunshine days sown. Rye is well filled and will be a fair crop. Oats have decidedly improved since the beginning of May, and look very well. Some of the corn was planted the last week in A pril, but the great amount of rain the dist two weeks in May prevented the farm- irs from finishing planting as early ac isual. It looks well, but the late planted oi rather more back than usual. Clover nd timothy aro thick on the ground, and - - - clover, long and rank in growth, some being already lodged. Ou the whole, the crop of hay will be considerably heavier than last year's, which was about an aver age crop. Apples will not lie MS abundant as was expected from the great amount of blos soms. Those trees that bore abundantly last year have comparatively few apples this year, no matter how full of blossoms eywere, excepting a few varieties, such bear every year, and we would here min renew the advice we gave last year those planting apple trees, to plant more 'those varieties that bear every year.— 'hose trees that had few or no apples last ear, are middling full this year. If all re tain that are nose on the trees, the crop will probably be equal to last year's in this section, but from their appearance we may expect some to fall oil' yet. Peaches will probably be :LS abundant as last year. As an example of the remarkable fruitfulness of peach trees this season we will state this fact that a year ago (in the spring) we plant ed about tt', young poach trees, one year old from the bud. Among this lot there are I•u t:1 that do not have any peaches that we expect to mature, while we ox poet several to mature fully a hall-peek each. This we consider remarkable productiveness fur t roes so young. l'ears prom iso well; cher ries, plums and apricots, middling. A large crop of strawberries is now beginning to lie marketed. The supply will be so large that the prices of former years can not be maintained throughout the season. Other small fruits, such ;is raspberries, back ber ries, gooseberries and currants, which are raised to a considerable extent in this see- ion, promise ; grapes, which aro be inning to blossom, also look well. A. large breadth of tobacco is being plan •d this year, fully lifty per cent more than tst year. The greater part, at least three- Jurths, is already planted, and the plants ad a lino chance to start. ACCIDENT.—We briefly 110t,II ell Satur day that an unknown German WILY badly injured on the Penn's. It. It. near Bello moid. The following faeLs respecting the .tecident have since been ascertained : The man was :s Gorman, named Charles Fah know, travelling from Pittsburg to Phila delphia in search of work. Near Bellemont two trains were passing in opposite direc tions, and Fahknow was struck by one of them and knocked all the track; ho was cut about the head and lUce, but not seriously injured. Ile was brought to the County I hospital on Saturday evening for medical treatment, and is doing well. e STATE SUNDAY SUIIODL CON VEN TD,N.—Thu State Sunday School Con yen- Lioll will be held at Harrisburg on Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday, Cho 11th, 15th and Pith inst. The Protest-ant schools of this city will Is; well represented, dele gates having been already chosen most of them. Those of other States who are in terested in Sunday Schools have been in vited to attend, and a large gathering and an interesting time is anticipated. NEGRO CELEBRATION AT MARIETTA.— The negroes are not yet done celebrating the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment fraud. They had a high old time at Mari etta yesterday. Small delegations were pre.sent front surrounding towns, and there was a procession with music, speech-mak ing and the other necessary accompani ments. We believe neither of the aspirants for Congressional honors were present, but their whippers-in were on hand, and the darkeys had a foretaste of the sweets of political life. 0. U. A. M.—A council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics No. 100, was organized at Litiz on Thursday, June 2d, by members of the Junior Council at Manheim.

Clark one of our most extensive cattle brokers, recently drained this section Of country of two car loads of the choicest bullocks that was fed in the county. Four teen head of these were fed by Mr. George Harnisk ; the other nineteen head were fed by M r. Albert Smith, Providence township. These cattle met with the best market of the season, the prices realized ranging from 61 to 11 cents per lb., the latter for choice Pennsylvania, as above. Mr. tory Suter, the proprietor of the Na tional House, Quarryville, sent us a stalk of the tallest rye we have seen this season, which measured 7 feet .5 inches in length. This long waisted skeleton grew on the farm of J. 13. Myers, Eden township, about two miles below Quarryville, WRIGHT MLLE ITEMS,—We find the fol lowing of local interest in the Star ; Shad fishing at this point has closed for this season, the fishermen having drawn their seines and put them away. The river has been too low for fishing for a few days past and it is getting so late in the season that but few shad are going up the river and those coming down have spawned and are as poor as " June shad." The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have contracted with Messrs. DetWiler's, North, Crane & Co., for sufficient quantity of white stone from their quarries in this place,to erect a new passenger depot in Co lumbia. The depot will be built of the white stone in their rough state, as taken out of the quarry, with blue stone corners ' the seams to ho pointed with colored mortar, Tur: Clohumnia. liocurcu MILL DISAS TER— reTaid of the Voroner's Jury.—We learn from the ,Srpy that the Coroner's jury rendered the following verdict in the ease of Albright and Hess, the two men who died (rein injuries reeeived on Tuesday, the 31st ult., at the explosion of a boiler in the Columbia Rolling Mill : - - . "That the deceased came to their death from scalds and other wounds received from the effects of the collapse of a flue in boiler No. 4 at C. S. Maltby's Rolling Mill at Columbia, Pa.. on Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, May 31,1870. From the testimony given die jury is unable to decide whether the collapse of the flue resulted from low water or undue pressure, but it isour opin ion that the shutting tiff of said boiler from the main steam pipe was wrong, also that the iron in the flue of said boiler was too thin, that the boiler would have been safer if there had been regular check valves to each of the boilers, in aldition to the water atop valve, so as to prevent the possibility of the water being driven by pressure from one boiler to another; also that the boiler would have been safer if the gauge cocks had bean placed higher." John Mentzer, aged about Hi, son of wid ow Mentzer on Linion street, was badly scalded, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. The remainder of those injured are doing as well as can he expected. Later—Young Mentzer died on Sunday CALIFORNIA EXCLIRSIONISTS. — A train of Pullman Palace cars containing about two hundred excursionists from California ar rived in this city this morning and stopped long enough to take breakfast at Barnetes Cadwell House and llopple's Restaurant. The excursion left San rancisco last Sat urday, for Boston, Mass., and comprised, at the time, some three hundred and fifty men, women and children, a hundred and fifty of whom have dropped off at different 'mints along the route.
