By the terms of most of the contracts the negroes agreed to work for a year, and re ceive besides their maintenance a certain portion of the crop. At the end of the season the negro finds himself defrauded of his share of the crop by some means, and has no redress. Often the planter pre tends to be dissatisfied with the negro be foie the end of the year, and sends him off to avoid fulfilling the contract. It is true that the agents of the Freedmeu's Bureau have industriously tried to remedy this state of things, but their success has been in different, mainly owing to the known lies-, tility of President Johnson to the Bureau, and the support given by him to the local organizations in defying its operations. In some cases the negroes may be con tent to go on working in this "hand to mouth" sort of style. But in the great ma jority of cases they will nut, and this is what prevents the recuperation of southern agriculture. It seems to be well establish ed that in Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, and other States, gangs of armed desperadoes, known as "Regulators," have- been endeav oring to establish a reign of terror among the negroes, by going abont at night,mask ed and disguised, and whipping or killing refractory blacks. When we ask a remedy for these things, the reply is the same as in the matter of the Kansas and New Or leans massacres—a denial of their authen ticity. There is however, no reason todoubt the reports, all of which come from agents of the Bureau, and are attested in such a manner as to render very suspicious the broad denials of the southerners, and to in duce us to believe that there is a want of sincerity in the manner in which the south ern people deal with the subject. We may as well warn these people now, | at the beginning of this attempt, that thej could do nothing better calculated to bring upon them the inveterate hatred and stern, determined opposition of the free north, ! than to resort to such a system of labor as peonage. To say that we would oppose it would but inadequately convey to them an idea of what is the spirit of the north. It would be truer to say at once that we will not tolerate this substitute for slavery. We i have conquered slavery with rebellion, and ! we mean that both shall stay conquered.— I We are prepared to maintain to the utter | most the freedom and the equal rights of ! the emancipated slaves, and if we have to j undertake another struggle with the oligar chs, the latter had better not, calculate too much upon the terms we may again offer | them. We consider their present conduct ! little short of infamous. LUZERNE COUNTY - -On the Gtb inst., about 9 A. M., a tremendous lire damp explosion took place in the Eagle mine, about a mile from Pittston, the effects of which extend - d from the Eagle mine to the No. 1 shaft of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and to Tompkins' mines. The fire-damp extin. guished all the lights in the No. 1 shaft caused great damage to the cars and wood work, and burned very seriously John E.

The Brownville Ad vertiser of the 13th says: "The Republi cans have made very decided gains in every county so far heard from over the June elec tion, save Otoes, where the Democrats have gained sixty, no doubt by bringing in local interests for MORTON. In the counties so far heard from the Republican gain since June foots up £39 ; deducting the Demo cratic gain in Otors, GO, leaves a clear Republican gain of 779. The Democratic strongholds have all I een heard from, and with the increased majorities, us shown above, we f< el satisfied that the Union Re publican majority, official,will reach 1,000." to" M rs. Deborah Bedford,aged 93 years, the sole survivor of the famed Wyomisg massacre, which occurred during the Rev olutionary war, is still living, with her son, Dr. A. Bedford, in Waverly, Pennsylvania. Though she has of course during so long a life suffered somewhat from the storms of time, her mind is still active and she is still capable of describing in a perfectly clear and connected manner the cruel scenes which she witnessed as a six years old child. THE Montgomery-county Copperheads have arrested some of the election officers there for declining to receive the votes of alleged deserters. This, of course, is only a part of the persecution which Union men who obeyed the provisions of the State law at the last election are to suffer iu Copper head counties. The persecutors probably forget that the Legislature last winter found it necessary to order a change of venue from Montgomery to Chester in one or more similar cases.

CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS FROM THE REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. UNION STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ROOMS No. 1105 CHESTNUT STREET. PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 12, I£GG. —ON behalf of the Committee, I congratulate the people of the State upon the grand results of the recent political contest. We have elected our candidate for Governor by a large majority We have indorsed the Constitutional Amend ments proposed by Congress. We have se cured about two-thirds of both branches of the Legislature. We have elected eight een out of the twenty-four members of Con gress, a gaiu yf two over our present dele gation. These are the substantial results of our complete and magnificent victory ; a victory achieved by the patriotic efforts ol a loyal people, in defiance of the basest be trayal on record, and in spite of the most reckless abuse of Government patronage ever encountered by any party ; a triumph of right over wrong, and fairly won, in as desperate struggle,and against as unscrup ulous means as were ever resorted to by any adversary. Thanks to the Giver of all victories. Thanks to all our co-laborers, especially to my able, devoted and efficient secretaries, who toiled with me most faith fully for four months without fee or re ward. Thanks to the other members of the Committee, and to the various local organ ization. Thanks to the gallant " Boys in Blue," who fought and wou another battle for their country, and to the able and pa triotic press throughout the State. And last, but Dot least, many thanks to the noble Union League and the patriotic lib erality of our friends in the city of Phila delphia. By order of the Committee. F. JORDAN, Chairman. THE TERRIBLE FRAUDS IN THE LUZERNE DIS TRICT.—Iu studying the returns of the late election, two facts forcibly impress the in telligent observer--that wherever the offi cial patronage—as iu our navy-yard wards —or the prejudices of the adopted citizens —as in the counties of Schuylkill and Lu zerne—could be used and Joperated upon, there the Copperhead majorities increased. But for the corruptions and intrigues grow ing out of these two elements, the Union majority in Penvsylvania, to-day, would he nearer one hundred thousand than fifteen thousand. Great surprise has been mani fested at the enormous majority thrown in the county of Luzerne against General GEARY. Why and how this was done, let the Scranton Republican of the 12th inst. relate. We are glad to perceive that Mr. ARCH IIAI.D, the Union candidate for Congress,has resolved to, contest the election, in which case we have no doubt that the House of Representatives will decide in his favor, and thus oust the Copperhead DE.\isoN,who allowed his patriotism to resort to such outrageous frauds for the purpose of cheat ing an intelligent people out of their rights,— Philadelphia Press SUPERINTENDENOY OF COMMON SCHOOLS. The following letter from Hon. C. R. Co burn, Superintendent of Common Schools, explains itself. It will be remembered we indicated months since, in these columns, that an arrangement like this would take place, so that its consumation now is inert - ly a verification of what we stated won hi occur: DEPARTMENT OF COMMON SCHOOLS, HABBISBCBO, Oct. 18, 1866. To Hi* Excellency, A. G. Curtin — Slß : I hereby tender my resignation as Super intendent of Common Schools of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, to take effect on the first day of November, 1866.

Yours, with sentiments of high respect and kind regard, C. It. COBURN. Professor Wickersham is one of the ablest educators in the State. He will enter on the Superintendency of Common Schools on the Ist of November, and we are satisfied that the system," under his management, will continue to be one of vast benefit to the people of the State.— Harrinburg Telegraph. DEATH OF THE HON- JOHN VAN BUBEN. John Van Bnreu, of New York, died on board the steams ip Scotia, on Monday, October 15, on his return from Europe, wiiere he bad-been for his health,and while within a few hours of port, lie was the son of President Martin Van Buren, and was born at Hudson, February 18, 1810 ; graduated from Yale in 1828 ; read law with Hon. B. F. Butler, of Albany ; was Secretary of Legation to his father while the latter was Minister to England.in 1831-2, -and was chosen Attorney General lor the State of New York in 1845. Then he re tired to the practice of his profession. In 1818 he was one of the prominent adv >- cates of the Free Soil party, and from that time to this has been before the i nbiic as a speaker upon the questions of the day. Tie was one who believed firmly in ti.t middle path, and his conservatism was ho that it causod him to halt when persistency would have been victory. He - a most genial and agreeable companion—well-read, i tpiick in repartee, never vindictive, and j finding some witty apology for the -■ orst : defeats. His position in his profession was deservedly high, and on the stump or in a ! lecture room he had a singular power of i chaining attention. Something like an ap parent lack of sincerity prevented him 1 from gaining the full success to which his qualifications entitled him. ' A TEERIBLE EXPLOSION. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17, 1860. A terrible boiler explosion occurred at ten o'clock to-day, in the turning-shop of J. 11. Babcock, on Franklin avenue, totally demolishing the shop and also a three-story brick building on West street. Twenty-two persons are known to be buried in the ruins ; eight, when taken out were dead, and twelve more or less injur ed. Two, and perhaps more, are still bur ied in the debris. The ruins immediately took fire, and a large force is now engagt d in extinguishing the flames and removing the rubbish. LATER. —Six more dead bodies have been taken lrom the ruins of the turning shop this evening. It is now thought others still remain buried in the debris. Some of fin bodies are so badly burned that they can i not be identified. j The cause of the explosion to-day was | the weakness of the boiler, of which the ' proprietors are said to have been notified by their engineer some days since. The coroner will investigate the whole matter to-morrow. After the explosion the ruins took fire and burned furiously for some time, despite the most desperate efforts of the firemen. Two dwellings adjoining were consumed. During this time the scene was appalling. The appeals for aid of helpless creatures in the ruins, and the frantic cries of their relatives outside, were heartreml j ing in the extreme. Up to 9A. M. no more bodies have been found.
