1 A DINTINGICTIMED CONVERT..
One-prominent Democrat is quoted
as saying that the extra session .of
Congress bad, cost the. Democracy a
million of - votes; and now a Demo
cratic politician who hati been visit
ing at Washington (as reported in the
Preiut), gives the substance of a re
cent conversation with Justice WOOD-
WARD, of thd Supreme Court of. Penn
sylvania, in which the operations of
the Democrats are carefully and de.
liberately estimated upon the basis
of their own acts:' -He , says that in
this conversation Justice WOODWARD
observed that the action of the Dem
ocratic party during the extra session
has displayed more insanity pan he
bad ever known in the,: history of any
political urganizatioWsince the foun
dation of i the government; that the
course of the Democraticirepresenta-
tives from Pennsylvania in Congress
'exceeds in concession to the rebe
clement cf the, South anything that
was ever knows in ante-bellum' days,
land that if the Republican party-are
vise enough to utilize these blunders,
they can ,reyive a war feeling as bitter
and intense - as existed at the Ilring
on Sumter. , The. party repeating this
conversation added that theatigacipmi
justice remarked that if he Fere : in
any other position he would feel
. ip
, his duty to male a public declaration
of his views on this subject. He add
' ed that the Democratic party, as he
° undOrstood its position to-day, in the
] ight of its own acts, on the measures
of
i legislation which have been before
Congress, was in direct opposition to
all its time-honored doctrines, and
that J . :EMERSON * ;Or JACKSON would
• never have endorsed the heresies of
tita rights and the political doc 7
' trin s advanced by the Democratic,.
leaders. The Judge Was represented
es very outspoken in his criticism of
the course of Messrs. WALLACR,RAN.
DALL and the other Pennsylvania
Deinocrats, AO regards the Demo 4
cratic'party as•thoroughly powerless
in the State as far as the fall cam
]
paigns are concerned.
. We will frankly confess that ordi
narily we do not place much reliance
6n newspaper reports of the say
• 'jigs or opinions of public men ; but
the above is so much in consonance
with Judge Woonwasn's clear-headed
judgment and his reputation for hon
esty and independence; and so Thor
oughly justified by the , misdeeis of
the Democracy, that we shall 'assume
the statements to be true, unless au- .
t horitively .denied.
We do not see how it is possible
for any intelligent and patriotic Dem
ocrat to arrive at any different judg
ment than that expressed by Juilge
I .VOODWARD. The course of the ma
jority in Congress has been charac
terized by a. degree of imbecility, if
not insanity, without parallel in the
history of the country. Their acces-
Mon to power has been marked by .
.its frightful abuse; the concession to
the Confe&rate element has been
humiliating, and, demonstrates to the
country what May be expected when
the rebels shall rule in every llepart
went of the government. The won•
i
'ler s, not :that Judge WOODWARD
should hal alarmed anti disgusted
wife his parti and its leaders, but
rather that the honest and intelligent
Democrats everywhere, do not rise
j np and repudiate the rebel domina
tion, which would glorify the Con
, federate cause, and discredit both
the living and dead patriot.
Those Democrats who'still cling to
the traditions and memories of the
old-fashioned JEFF.EnSONIAN and
JACKSON Demee?acy, must see in the
new dogmas and ideas and plans of
the Confederite States rights Dem
ocrats,nothing in common with the
teachings of those distiniguished men,
but the very opposite. The doctrines
of ( the Democracy, as now openly
advocated,„ were denounced and
bitterly opposed by the. Democratic
apostles of the early days - of the
Republic, and the :very dangers
pointed out, which threaten the
country. The citizen who believes
• I in the teachings of the fathers of the
republic, who desires the permanency
of our institutions, the happiness and
prosperity of our people,, can have
but one opinion and, one desire, and
' that is, that the Democratic party as
it is now organized and influenced is
not fit to assume the control of the
government, and should not be
trusted with the administration of
the affairs of the country.
WE are pleased to learn that all
the iron works of Danville now idle

" The resumption of the-iron business
seems to be' general, and is the best
evidence that the business of the
country is reviving. Of course, it
will be slow, but gradually. i We' are
coming , upon more prosperous times.
Tna following sentence' from Gen
eral Ewrio's speech in Columbus, 0.,
July 30, 1878, is hurting, him among
-Democrats of Ohio: "All these e vents
have forced me, though most reluc

Democratic party is powerless and
ineffective as an ally, and not a fit
instrument' of reform in American
polities."

Tux record of the Pension Bureay
up to the 30th of June of the present
year, shows that 13,890 arrears of
pension - cases, representing the sum
of $7,220,672.44, had already been
paid or wire ready (or paynient, on
that date. They were distributed
among the several agencies as nearly
as practicable in proportion to the
number of pensioners upon the re
spective agency rolls.
Upward of 9,000 cases were settled
in June. The Cominissioner- of
Pensions expects to be able to pay an
equal, if not greater, number monthly
until all are settled. Sixty-three
thousand :three hundred and -seventy
two, persons have made claims for
arrears, but t including the 13,800
already settled, not more than 48,000
persons who are already pensioners
have arrears due them. Many,
therefore, who apply are not entitled
to arrears. The Commissioner ex-
Pects that nearly all who are entitled
will be paid off by the end o
•
October.
A WASIIII 4 IGTON correspondent
writes the following gratifying infor
mation,-which is probably more ac
curate than the - statements usually
forwarded by that class of persons.
He says: "The Republican Senators
and Representatives before
. leaving
the city have very generally called
to take leave of the President and
the metibers of the Cabinet. One of
the effects of the extra session has
been to bring the President and the
party in Congress in complete accord.
The Republican members of both
houses will return also with the as
surances of every reasonable support
from the Executive branch of the
Government. The:President still in
sists, however, upon officers of the
Government abstaining from partici
pation in shaping nominations in the
interests of individuals, but after the
ticket is in the field, he says, there
will be no objection to taking an ac
• tive part in securing its election."
.AcconniNo to the monthly of,V
statement of the Oil City Derrick
there were 327 wells completed in
the month of June, increasing the
daily production 8,205 barrels, an
average of 254 barrels per well.
There are 744 wells commeaced and
in various stages of advancement,
showing a slight decline in operations.
Only ten unproductive well.; were
drilled. This heavy average of pro
duction shows the territory now in
course of development to be extra
ordinarily good. It is quite possible,
however, that the Derrick's estimate
of the average is too high.
Tar probability of an extra session
has been discussed, and the Presi
dent and the Attorney General have
bad a long conference on the subject.
The President has stated to Anxious
inquirers, that he had been in confer
ence with the Attorney General, and
had been informed that it would
doubtless be possible to carry on the
marshals' offices without any appro
priation until December; at least it
was his intention to make the effort,
but should it be found necessary to
again call upon Congress for means
for this purpose, it wou ld
. be deferred
until the very last moment.

PUILADZLI.III.f, July 7,18*
The 103 d Anniversary of American
- independence was duly celebrated here,
with all those observances which riake
the night hideous and the- day unsale for
pedestrians. The small boy comnieres
several days in advance, frith his to pe
does and an occasion's'. fire-cracker,'-When
be can elude the vigilant policeman.
The Mayor issues his prAdamation for
bidding the firing ,of crackers or the dis
charging of fire-arms, so the law-abiding
citizen commences on the night of the
3d to show his respect for the Mayor's
orders and his independence as a citizen.
There is all night a fusilade of small
arms, with au occasional discharge of
mammoth crackers, which sound like the
report from a four pounder. There is no
rest, and the denizens of the city arise in
the- morning; having passed a sleepleis
night, only to be annoyed by a day of
noise and danger, and another night of
similar disquiet. The result is sores of
accidents, involving loss of life and Binh,
the station houses full, and the polite
overworked. If .a vote could be taken,
the Fourth of July would be declared •
nuisance by a large majority. -It is a
great pity that some more rational and
safe method could not be employed to en- .
hibit the patriotism of our people thin
the carnival of lager beer and Chinese
crackers which now seem to be the, pre
vailing:mode. • Not that the day should
be allowed to pass without some notice.
The old-fashioried celebrations, which
seem now to be too old-fashioned for the
times and the present generation, were on
the whole the most sensible, and it would
be well if they were revived in every
country town. They were calculated to
keep in remembrance the brave deeds and
self-sacrificing devotion of the men•who
signed the Declaration of Independence,
and their noble compatriots who achieved
our independence, after the most heroic
struggles and fearful privations. To
keep them and their. achievements In
perpetual and grateful remembrance is
the duty of every true and loyal citizen.

Ifirwsuaon, July 7.—On Saturday
some bones of - a mastodon were
discovered in a swamp on the farm
of Hugh Kelly, in, the town of New
Windsor, seven miles southwest of
this city. Excavations were itn
mediately begun and still continue.
The following parts hive been
neared and it is thought the entire
skeleton will be found: Dimensions
in: inches--skall, 45 long, 28 wide,
29 high
_and 23} between the eyes;
diameter of nostrils, 6 inches, nostril
extending into the head two feet.
Four teeth were found in each jaw,
in au excellent state of preservation.
The enamel is of a bluish tint and
,1
unbroken. The four back teeth are
eight-pointed, measure 7 by 3f
inches and stand four Inches out of
the jaw. The four front teeth are six
pointed and measure 41 t by 81 inches.
AU of the bones of , the legs have
been found except two: pieces- The
length of the fore leg, including the
shoulder-blade, Is seven feet, and the
shoulder-blade thirty-six by twenty
seven and one-half inches. The
sockets of the knee-joints are from
seven to nine inches- in. diameter.
Twenty-four ribs have been found
thus far, the longest measuring forty
six inches. Numerous vertebrae have
been excavated with part of the feet.
The pelvis and other portions of the
skeleton have not yet been • discov
ered. It is supposed that the animal
stood twelve feet high. The bones
have been - found in muck from two
to four feet deep, and were resting
on blue clay in the same swabs where
the famous skeleton mentioned in all
the works on paleontology and now
in Boston was found in 1845, and
three miles distant from that spot.

THE STORM IN. MINNESOTA. '
Sr. PAUL,. July 4.—The storm
Wednesday night was the heaviest
ever known in Minnesota. , Five
inches of. rain fell here in fifteen
hours, the greatest amount since the
signal service office was established.
The damage in. this city is consider
able, but it is confined to flooded
streets and cellars, burst sewers and
one or two - buildings undermined.
Trains are delayed on all the rail
roads by washouts, and none arrived
at or left the city until last night.
The most serious damage is on the
railroad, near Red Wing, where a
washout will stop travel for a day or
two: The storm extended all over
this state and Northwestern Wiscon
sin, in which regions there was a
great fall of rain and hail, accomptt
flied by thunder and lightning. The

aSsumed the character of a cyclone
near Red Wing, the: point of great
violence being at- , Vasa, a small
village some ten - miles west of the
Mississippi river.
A special dispatch to the Pioneer
Press from Red Wing says: In the
town of Vasa the fury of the storm
was at its height, ,making fearful
havoc. It seemed to start four
miles beyond' Vasa, and traveled in a
southwesterly direction. Vasa
Church and the Orphanage, which
is under the care of the church,
were completely demolished. The
Orphanage contained twenty-four in
mates, and out of this number three
' were killed outright and seventeen

couple, were killed ; also a baby of
Mr. and Mrs. Linsed, and another
party unknown, making nine persons
in all killed and four more not ex

a little in the rear of the church and
set down in a field, where it flattened
out like a fan. The barn of Angust
Peterson was blown down, and his
house badly injured. The houses of
all mentioned as killed were blown
