THE
.National Republican tom,
mittee's address to the country which
we p,ublshed recently; is - a calm,,dig
nified, earnest statement of the real
character „of the • Damocratic plot.
It is an . appeal fron the the revolu

oft the country. It calls upon all
friends of law and order,.stable•gov.4
eminent, and public peace to stand
together against "this Assault on the
foundations, of public' security and
confidence, And there will be an ap
proVing response from all right•
minded men without distinetion of
party.
The Republicans have done their
duty as rams the battle has gone.
They freely and unhesitatingly offer
ad t© join in any investigation which
mean - full and fair scrutiny,:and not
revolution. I When this offer-wail re
jected and ft was thus' clearly proved
that the pretended investigation was
only the cloak for something beyond,
then the Repub!icans rightly and
firmly reSTkvd • this . advance toward
public anarchy. And now, with .the
• consummation of the first act in the
revolutionary drama, they ask all
patriotic citizens to-unite with them
in saving the country
,from its deeper
and darker designs.
The great body of •uprightand in
.lependent men who have a stake in
public order and confidence, and who
desire an end of the mischievous agi
tation am.“ . euntention which have
_retarded the - restorationof prosperity
---all the business interests of the
country will respond to the spirst of
the Republican address._ They want
..to feel that they have a government.
They want the assurance of protect
ion' against -disorder and anarchy.

this renewed agitation, it is as much

NEM
troun lady in Cincinnati, about
to be married recently, displayed her.
good, sense under trying circumstan
ces, and at the same time gave her
lover a lesson which should serve
through life. After she had promis
ed to become hid wife shediscovered ‘
to her sorrow that the young man
was addicted to the flowing bowl:
She then told him she would not
marry him unless he reformed. He
promised, and shofixed a period -of
probation. He - broke his promise,
'but of'that she was ignorant. The
wedding day came, and the couple
stood up to be made one flesh, One
aliment more and the fateful words
would have been spoken, Just then
the young ladyteaOstrils were as.
sailed . by the fumes of whiskey, from
the breath of the man at her side.
Here was a dilemma. But with a
promptness which-reflects credit on
the young lady's nergy of mind, her
decision was made ; the struggle be
tween love and duty to self was
fought and decided. When the ques
tion" was asked, do you take this
man to be your lawful wedded hus
band, the would-be husband and
those assembled were astounded to
hear a faint but distinct "No." The
question was repeated, and this time
the reply came clear and decisive
" No:" Strengthened in her deter
mination by the lapse of a moment,
the girl turned to the man at her side,
told Aim he had been drinking, that
he had broken his word, and that a
man who would- break so solemn a
promise was not-to be relied on, and
she declined to trust her future to
his keeping. Here' is an example for
young women to imitate.
.With
such a purpose, so sturdily adhered
to, animating the fair sex, then
would be fewer besotted husbands
and miserable, rum-cursed homes.
IT has beef often said that the
price of prT4sions is loWer now than
for 'many / years. Family flour is Bel
ing at lrs ttan at any 'time since
1859 ; / mess beef is at the prices of
four en years ago ; butter, cheese
anfi , eggs are lower than since 1844 ;
,meat at a figure that has been touch
oncelor twice since 1852 ; oats the
same as they were in 1843 , lard, 7
cents, a lower figure than quoted, for
a quarter of a century ; hams, 8 cents, i
which was the rate in 1863; mess
pork, $9 75, which was paid for that
article a generation ago ; 4 raw sugar,
cents, an eight less than in 18G0,
and New Orleans molasses, less than
at any time within 'a quarter of a'
century. This comparison migh
be extended to all the necessaries o
life, but these will serve to show tha i ! '
the cost Of food has never been sb
low in this generation.
0 ua cotton exports to China doubled.
in 1875, trebled in 1876,-gained an
other third last year, and are' still
gaining there and elsewhere. One
cause is their superiority; anotbe
is the fact; that transportation from
Liverpool occupies five . times the
term from the Atlantic seaboard via
San Francisco. The same principle
hold in. regards tot South America,
and must enable us soon, now that
industry is guaranteed briTongres
sional action and by. financial chang
es, to , send our rails and iron of every
kind into a country that is rapidly
building railroads north, east and
west, and across the, whole area: We
have been gaining' in that market
steadily and rapidly of late, and have
the ability to get and hold it.
Mr. WOOD finds consolation in his
defeat by declaiing that he will re
vive his bill at the December session
of Congress and pass it. lie thinks
the 'Democrats voted against it
through Alar of its effect on approach
ing elections. When they are free
from dread of popular disaproval
they will vote for it. This is not at
all improbable. The party has been
held back from several other mis
chievous acts of legislation by the
same fear. The people realize this
fact and 'will vote accordingly next

The Pennsylvania Legislature has
.
for years considered legitimate
game for unfriendly: criticism. , The
session just,cliti3ed was no exception
to the general rule. While we believ e 1
the members did not dispatch buss-
nesS with as m uch economy of time,
as might have been practiced, it is to
be regretted that the fault-finiding is
not.always tempered by a spirit of
justice and mature reflection; that
the public are prone to overlook the.
good , scampi's ed in their zeal to
hold the Legial ture-iup to 'ridicule
and , derision. - The Norristown /*r
aid very justly emarks :
The Legislat re passed several ju
dicious 'bills, and showed, on the
whole, a fair appreciation Of • the ne
cessities of the times. One of these
billi is an act providing that any, effi
cer,'director, receiver, manager, em
ploye, agent, attorney, broker,*-or,
I member of any bank.or other corpor
ation who shalifraudulently take Or
convert to his own use any of the
Money or other property of such bank
or company shall be subject to a fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars
and.an imprisonment not exceeding
six
iv
six years: This act euld seem t o
apply
apply whether the bank or corpora=
tion eventually lost anything by the
embezzlement or not, and the prose
cution can be brought at any time
within four-years after the offense is
,committed. The idarming f, equerry
of such defalcations on' the part of
trusted officials is a suffielent reason
for the law, and it is perhaps .to be
.regretted that the bill defines the of-.
Tense as a misdemeanor. This leaves
the deor7bpen for a settlement when
the criminal has wealthy and influen
tial friends. Had it been declared a
felony no such settlements. could be
made, and the kid-gloved swin filers
would. baVe to take . their chalices
with the thieves in fustian.
Another important and 'salutary
bill is the one amending the militia
law. It has been drawn with an eye
tp increased economy and efficiency
abd retires a -large number of the
higher offers, thus concentrating
the authority which has been too
widely distributed. •The number
,of
regiments and companies is reduced,
and - some of the less efficient will he
weeded out. The necessity for a re
organization of the militia was shown'
clearly enough last summer: No one
pretends to believe that the national
guardsmen who tailed, to cope with'
.the mob at Pittsburg and Reading
Were deficient in courage, or lacked
the raw material Of good ' soldiers,
while the small force ofregular troops
needed to restore order in both cities
shows that the militia were not over
whelmed by numbers. It was rather
lack of discipline, with a Irani of
confidence in their of licers and in
each other that rendered them ineffi
cient. - If these defects arc corrected
the reduction in numerical force will
not prevent an 'increase in effective
strength.
1 • Another salutary act is to punish
the rehypothecation of stocks, bonds.
or other securities pledged for money
1-lent -- and - borrowed, a form of dishon
esty only developed and explained
within' a recent period.
In the:same category may be men
tioned the. act requiring collectors of
special taxes to
,gii'e bond the tiet
permitting suruiving partners to tes
tify to matters having occurred be
tween
the surviving partners and
adverse party_ On the record, the act
to provide for the bringing of actions
against married 'women in certain
cases where they, are living apart
from their husbands, and the act to
provide for the arrest told punish
ment of persons carrying dangerous
substances upon the, public convey
ances; all of which are peactical
and suggested by the ' , necessities of
the day.

Hereafter the Legislature meets bi
ennially. The new constitution pro
viding for annual sessions until the
year 1878 inclusive, the object being
to have all the general laws. passed•
which became necessary under the
provisions of that instrument. These
have nownearly all been placed .on
the statute books. No adjourned
annual sessions can hereafter be held,
and if any necessity exists for an
extra session atany time, it must be
convened by proclamation of the
Governor; who must state the objects
for which ' they
~are convened;` and
they will be compelled to confine
themselves strictly to the business
thus indicated.
WritLE the average democratic ed
itor and demagogues of _all- the
schools are charging the "hard times"
upon the RepUblican party, it is
refreshing to note that some, intelli
gent democrats -dare express the
truth in regard to the matter. Cong
ressman IrtwfiT says'truthfully ;
"We kre marching steadily back
to prosperity : ; we are to-clay on hard
pan ; and I was astonished to hear
the gentlemen from Ohio and Penn
aylvania (Ewing and Kelley) pro
pound the doctrines they laid down
to-day. They seem to think that the
distress of the country, that the
shrinkage of value, is something local.
Let me tell those gentlemen that it
exists all over the civilized globe. In
Great Britan, where specie payment
exists, there has been the same shrink
age of values. In. France, where_
they liave resumed specie paynient
under p scheme which has received
the iinqualifleil approbation of those
gentlemen the people are in great
commercial distress. In Germany,
where they have never departed from
a sound system of currency, they are
equally in distress; It is not local,
but universal. It is tne creation
from a speculative era, and there is
no remedy (when you have had an
era _of 'speculation)- but through
shrinkage, and much.jibulation and
liquidation to get back to the piJint
where you can begin again on a foun
dation of solid and-real values, and
of honest and true money."

KILLED IN A MINE•
Over Tuo Ituncired Lives Lost.
Losnos, June 7.—A fearful extdo.
sion occured to-day in EVaos Wood •
Pit Colliery, at Ilaydock, six miles
south of Nigam. The number of men . ,
in the pit at' the time is variously
estimated at from 200 to 230. - Many
of them have been brought, up badly
inj tired. .
- Later intelligence is to the effect
that the , explosion shook the earth
‘'''
for miles around. The first explorer.
descended the shaft five minutes after
the explosioh -and others followed.
Ten men wore rescued alive andere
sent to the surface, when one i ied
almost. immediately and the otl ers
suffered much:from after-damp. Eight
other men are aliVe and have taken
refuge in it working Of the. mine.
Two hundred and thirty nien are
dead. The explorers state that they
found bodies': decapitated-, reduced to
shapeless masses and E ()the of them
- bl Own to pieces. It is expected that
the Corpses -will be brought .up by
midnight. A large crowd of men
women and children surrounded the
mouth of the pit. .The cause of the
explosion is unknown, as blasting
with naked lights is prohibited. •-
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.—The bod
ies of Mrs,Veislaeh and two ehildren,
aged nine and eleven, were found
yesterday by the neighbors, who not
having seen the family for several
days, suspected something wrong, l
and broke into the house. It is believ
ed the woman first chloroformed her
children. Mr. Geislacb,Who has bemi
lobg out of employment, wrote a let .
ter to a minister, telling a tale of dis
tress and threatening to commit sui
cide, and as he is missing, it istsup•
posd he has done so.
LIE loss sustained by farmers and
others by having their sheep attack
ell by dogs, to say nothing of the
danger from hydrophobia, 'has led to
the enactment of various laws impos
ing restrictions on the owners of
these animals. The last Legislature
passed a law making all dogs person
al_
Tropeaty, the provisions of which
are thus condensed by one of our ex
change papers: •
'For whateve damage dogs may do
their owners shall be liable, even for
the costs and attorneys' fees, if the
suits be taken to court. An annual
tax of fifty cents on ,mare and gone
dollar on female dogs will be levied,
which will be kept in a separate ac
count by the county treasurer from
which owners of sheep shall be com
pensated when dogs deplete their
droves, provided that the owners of
the dogs cannot be ascertained. If
discovered, the, latter must' make
good the loss. Assessors arerequired
to take an account of dogs in their
districts, with the names of the own
ers. If at the end of the year the
amount of money in the hands of the
county treasurer from this Source ex
ceeds a given sum, the surplus is to
be divided among the school districts.
The adoption of this law is made,op. :
Mona' in counties. A ballot shall be
take# not oftener than once in two
Years,. upon its , acceptance or rejec
tion, and it will remain with the vo
ters to
. pronounce• upon -the merits
of the measure."

- ,Kansas City;, Mo;', Is situated at the
junction of the Kan and Missouri riv
ers, and is in a very hilly and uneven loz
cation. It is a 'city of about 45,000 popu
lation, and is destined to become ono of
the great cities of the • West. At this
point all the large Western expeditions
aro fitted out, and it is a feeder to all the
country west of here. In 1856 it oniy had
700 inhabitants I in 1880 it . bad 5,030, •
and has been rapidly increasing ever since.
Ten railroads now centre here, and ono
more is building which•will 'be extended
to this place in a few Months.; It has a
largo and very handsome .Union Depot,
at which the trains from dll the roads . I
•stop, and which was built ,at a cost of
$220,000, and is said .to
,be the finest de
pot in the world with the exception of the .
Grand . Depot in New fork. -There - are a
great many fine churches, and about
'2O school-houses. It has water and gas
works, and a very fine
.Opera House I
which seats 1,800 persons ; a now U. S .
Custinn Reuse is in progress of erection,
for which the Government has appropri- ,
ated $250,000. There .is a large and ex
tensivt3'busieess done in buying and sell
ing cattle and hogs, and several large
packing Leases, ono of which, that of
PlankingtonA Armour's, has a capacity
of 3,500 hogs andl,loo veves a.day. •
Leaving the city, we go to the Union
Depot and take thecars of the Atehinson,
Topeka ez Santa Fe Railroad. The coun
try west of Kansas City. to Topeka is
rolling, is good land and in fine condition.
The first town of any'. size is, Lawrence.
This is a lively town of 5,000 population,
and situated on the banits of thelian riv
er ; this river provides a good water pow
er, and there is a number of mills along
its banks; the buildings are mostly Wick
or stone. We now come to Topeka. This
• place is situated On the top of an elevated'
plot of ground'.; the streets are wide,and
descend each way from the centre of the
town ; it has a population Of about - 10,000
• and some nice buildings and basin*
places. The Capitol building is of whits
stone, built some after the Elan of the'
Capitol at Washington. It is quite a
lively place, and there seems to be a gaod
deal pf business done -there. Leaving To
peka -it was not long before we came
across coal mines, and with the familiar
names of Barclay, Cartiritidale, Scranton,
Plymouth and Reading given to the sta
tions in succession. This coal .region .is
aboet 20 miles wide, and is largiely popu
late...o.by Pennsylvania miners.. The coal
is bituminous, and the veim is only IS
inches thick. It is harder than the Bar
clay coal, and almost entirely free from
slate. The. openings are perponAicutar,
and the hoisting is done by honie-power.
There was only one or two places where
an engine was used-for this purpoie.
A little farther on and we reach Cotton
wood, which is the county seat of Chase
county and whero there arc largo and val-•
uable stone quarries. Next conies Fier
. .
Mice, which is situated on a level plain
andin the midst - of a
.splendid farming
country. Soon NeWton is.reaChed. This
is the county seat of Harvy county, ad
has a population of about 1,700, and t i e
first building was erected in, 1871. N'e
took considerable pains to irivestigate t
this point the lands located around this
Place, together with ,materialii, &c., and
will give the result for the benefit of our
farmer friends. The farms in this section
are nearly level, and have for soil a black,
sandy loam, in some places two feet thick
and in others live feet. The Gtivernment
lands at this point pave all been taken up
for 20 miles from the railroad., The un
sold lands of the railroad company are
from 3to 5 miles from the railroad (all
nearer sold). Th' - ii unsold railroad
lands are equally a. good soil and nearly
f
as level as those tak *it up near the. road,
and can be purchased at prices ranging
from $5 to $8 per are. These are prices
where the whole far, of 160 acres can be
cultivated. If a swamp or very-low place
is in any portion of la tract, that would
reduce the price, and we saw some lands
that could be purchased for $2 per acre.
orses,,bere aro worth slooite $lOO each;
' owing machines from .180 tti $llO. The
buildings aro mosty built out of pine
umber, which cost,. from $lB to $4O per.,
i
thousand feet, according to quality; spin-
glesare $3.50 to $4.50 per M. A frame two j
story dwelling, abutilt 2430, flirnisheit oli
complete, will cost about 8300. As to the
taxes, the Viiluatitin s fixed at about $1.73
per are, and the whole taxes run from
11 to '2 per cent. on this valuation. Good
wells -of wator - are struck anywhere hi
this section by digging about 15 to 18 feet..
The principal farm products aro wheat
and porn. The average/yield of corn in
this section on new ground is from 40. to
50 bushels per acre ; of wheat, ot' new
ground, 15 to 18 bushels per 'acre, . nd on
grouhd that has been worked two o three
Hyears from 20 td 25 bushels per acre;
some good pieces rib 30 bushels per acre-
Last year's corn is now worth 20 to 25
cents per bushel, i being very low and a
very large crop dt hand. Wheat is now
selling at $1 Per bushel. There is no
stone in the soil, and one as big as a hen's
egg cannot be found on a 160-acre tract.
All that is used for foundations, So., aro
brought by the railroad from Cottonwood
and points fiujther cast, and arc sold for
$l3 per car-load, and each car-load is
about 3 cords. Bitter is - now selling a't
1 shilling per pound', and eggs at ,8 cents
per dozen. • This will give parties who

THE POTTER RESOLUTION A VIOLATION
OF LAW AND HONOR•
The dispute over the Piesidential elec
tion of 1876 threatened fur some-time to
bring disaster upon ;the country, and
many were fearful that before the matter
could be.disposed of the horrors of civil
war would again overtake us. But when
the Electoral Commission finally settled
the dispute according to the rules pre
scribed by Congress, the country breathed
- freely once more. It was supposed that
for the next four
_years we were to rgst
freelrom the turmoil and dust of disrMte
over the title to the Presidency. No one
had an idea that the leaders of the Demo
cratic party would be so unprincipled as
to call in question the- settlement of the
controversy by the means they themselves
had first proposed. The expedient adopt
ed in place of the constitutional method
of counting the electoral vote had not
worked as the Demecratic leaders expect
ed it would, but as the fairness or the
plan was not questioned the people had a
just reason for supposing that they would
now let the matter rest. By Congressional
enactment the Cominission had been given
the - power to decide who should become
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, and
according to mutual agreement, the de
cision to be arrived at by the Commission
was not be called in .queltion. There
seemed to be reasonable grounds for the
belief that as soon as the flames of parti
san wrath had sufficiently subsided to al
low a calm, dispassionate view -of -the
matter to be token from all standpoints
all further Agitation of the Subject would
cease, and an opportunity for the revival
of th business industries of the country
be presented. Brit subsequent events
have shown how unfounded wad the idea
• that the Democratic leaders were willing
to abide the conclusion arrived at by the
Electoral Commission. The highest obli
gations of law and honor demanded ofl
them to'do so, but these are readily ig
nored by Tilden and his auxilaries in the'
attempt to unseat President Hers. That
honor which binds governments, as well
as individuals,. they ,sconi to notice, and
disregarding all obligations of whatever
character, they have begun a new search
forfrauds, thus divertilig attention from
the preSsmg needs of the country, and
adding another , paralyzing effect to , the
influences which have long; been operat.
ing_against business interests and revival,,
= The Potter resolution is a disgraceful
exhibition of Democratic arrogance and
deceit. It is a direct Violation of both
law and honor. A writ of quo ioalranto,
s k p
, to inquire by what authority the Pre.si- •
dent holds his office, would;have bc n the
only justifiable proceeding in ea of a
usurpation. The reopening of the i resi
. dential controversy is an uulawft 1 and
revolutionary action which will tend to
Mexicanize our government, and bring
anarchy and confusion upon the country.
. The shaineful disregard of law aid
order which characterized Democratic
proceedings prior to and during the- re?
hellion, manifests itself upon every prac
tical opportunity. _The resolution of the
House of Represontativei passed at the
I close of the last Congress; declaring Hayes
not to have I) , *n elected, was at the tune
regarded a mate vent of - party spite and
- feeling i._ but the wilful and malicious at
tempt-. new:-
.being "made_..to' name& the
, , -
_ _ :> ; -
. - .
President, proves bowitierP-leld.liall this
revolutionary scheme of .Tilden ttnd his
allies. Law and orderarelo be trampled
under foot, the need of quiet and regular
ity for the sake ofthe business industries
- of the count?* is tn.be spurned, a thou
sand obstacles ate to be thrown in
,the
way of business revival, and all for the
sake of a little political capital. , Still the
Democratic party claims te be thwadvo
cate of law and order, yet adopts a policy
calculated to destroy all business - conil-,.
Bence and bring untold sufferings upon
tie people
If 'ever in.. the history of our country
there was a time when quiet and regular
ity should have been preserved it is now
When the depression of business is begin
ning to he relieved, and when the'evil ef
fects of the extraragance of war times is
being counteracted, The best interests of
the country dethand that order •be ;pre=
served. But how little .the Democratic
leaders care for these thitiga, Their prin
ciple is to make everything subservient
to party-ends, and no matter what disas
ter may threaten business entemrise, they
will not hesitate to act up to thist
princi
ple.
The investigation, which must be car
ried out at great .expense to the country
and to the detriment of the public welfare;
will, hoWever, - have a contrary effect from,
the expectation of its originators, The
people are in no mood to have patience
with revolutionary agitators. Whatever
disturbs the regularity of business pur
suits will meet with their disapproval and
condemnation. The probabilities are that
the movers of the. investigation see their
mistake now, but it is too late toyernedy
it. ,It is another Deinocratic bhinder, the
result of wilful ignorance and prejudice,
' and .placeathe patty in its true light ho
fore the people.
The inherent folly of the Democratic
1 leaders has long been the curse of - that
political organization. They do not seem
to realize that treachery is ever despised
by the American people. A party that
can deliberately trample upon the obliza;-
Itions of law -and honor must be looked
upon as a dangemns element. Democratic
arrogance and deceit are serious obstacles
in the way of Democratic ascendency.•
The_party must lose character and respect
on account of its false leaderseip. Their
low deceit\ and ,crafty cunning instead of
furthering the interests of the party are
only helping iton to final defeat and over:
throw. -
It would have been more -to the credit
-of the Democrats'il they had Made the
investigation general ;. so as tai cover all
alleged frauds. This they refused to do,
but limited it to Florida and Lousiana,-
thus proving the investigation to be a
mere cowardly trick. It wilthe regarded
as such by the people. Dennicrats who
Lave no respect for pule opinion will
probably some day learn that repeated
outrages against the public confidence
will not be allowed to go unntuftslieiL,
The, dishonesty and unfairness- of DT
mocracy is more fairly exliibited by the,
investigation than it has been at any other
time since the hand of fellowship was ex
tended by them to those who were en
gaged in armed rebellion against the gov
ernment. Let the lesson be• heeded by
the people. Pretensions to honesty, ex
pressions of a -very great desire for the
public welfare '
etc.,' become insignificant
in the si ght of such 'a disgraceful exhibi t
tion of dishonesty and unfairness The
dishonest motives of the party become so
apparent that he, who runs may read of
its intentions, and. there will be few to
identify themselves mitt' a movement
veld& disgraces the party fostering it and
throws down the barriers against revolu
tion. J. W. G.
