MIS is what the Mississij pi Star calls
true Democracy": "Inaugurate ,special
ostracism against every white man" North.

building up of the Republican pary ; dis
countenance any man who will gio on or
assist in making the bond of any - man
'elected on the Republican ticket ; refuse to

lican party, and show to the world that
.you ave in truth and deed a true Demo-
crat."
THE HemOcrats have at last secured a
soldier recruit. General A. L. Pa&usos,
of Pittsburg, is /irresistibly impelled to
suppOrt General HANcocK. He says in
his letter that he shall "vote as he shot."
Ile was in command of the troops at the
•Pittsburg riots, and led them into that
fiery furnace, the round house, where he
left them to their fate.t If he votes with
the same results as he shot on that occa
sion, he will bring disaster and destruc
tion to the Deinoerati . F. party. The feel-
ing amongst the Republicans of Alleghe
ny County, is that "his room is better
than his company,"
WHY was the IlAxcocs: hoon like a
sky-rocket? Can't you see here "com
ing down like the stick" comes in?
Tut GROW boom keeps increasing in
magnitude. Olthe sixty-six members of
the Rouse already nominated, thirty-five
have been instructed -for 31r. GROW for
United States Senator; either by the nom
inating Conventions or by a direct vole of
the people. This count includes for him
only two representatives in Allegheny
County, and does not include Senators al
ready chosen and holding over, O large
proportion of whom, as well as the unin
structed nominees, are known to be fa
vorable to Mr. Gnow's elation. The
counties instructing are all strongly Re
publican, and the success of their repre
sentative candidates certain.
GENERAL WALKER, superintendent of
the census, has now received sufficient re
turns to furnish aliaes for conclusions as
to what the total TOpulation of the coun
try will be, and the result.„is very encour
aging to the national pride. General
WALKER estimates that the full- returns
will show not fai frOm 48,000,080 of in
liabitants in'the United States, as against
,less than 39,000,000 in 1870. This will be
a gain of just about twenty-five per cent.
in the last ten years, which is considera
blylarger than the rate of increase dud
ing the previous decade. The present
amber of inhabitants is over twice the
twenty-three millions reported by the
census of 1850, Fo that the country has

As Indhort is to hold a State election
in A tctotscr, as-Vell as Ohio, the campaign
in those states Will be watched with a
good deal of interest. Ohio L 'is promised

for Indiana, llon. Jolts C. NEw, the
eutirman of the Reputiliean Stake Com
mittee, 11 1 ,e'ares that it will go pepubli
e:.n.iu.ol.ober as well as in November.
He says the State has been thoroughly
caar cd ; that the Republicans have
possession of Usti of all the doubtful
voters in the county and in eery voting
precinct, and that the campaign commit
tees have furnished to these doubtful vot
ers the kind of literature best calculated
to secure Republican: votes. Moreofer,
NEW says that while the Republican
ticket is more popular perhaps than any
one that has been nominated for years,
Esor.isn' is not at all popUlar.
TUE CANVASS
The RepUblimn National Commit.
tee, which met in New 1. - brk city last
week, organiied by , thC election of
31ARstiALL ',l l E.wErr, - of Connecticut,
as ChairMan,STEPIIEN W. DORSET,
of Arkansas, Secretary, and the ap
pointment of an executive committee
of twenty, one of whom is Senator
CAMERON, of this State. A Sub-com
mittee was orgtnized for the Nbrth
Western States, of which Senator
1.6(7AN is Chairman. The members
of the Committee give the most
favorable reports of the prospects of
success in the several sections they
represent„ The party is everywhere
united and cordial in its support of
the Republican nominees, at.d.thor
°uglily impressed with the necessity
of, ‘ harmonious and Vigorous action.
While there is a feeling that success
awaits us, there, is a knowledge that
triumph can only be made certain by
activity and vigilance.
It will be a matter of regret to
many Rerublicans A that Senator
CANLER)N could not accept the prof- .
fered Chairmanship. His appoint
ment would at once have inspired
the Republican ho Is with increased
confidence, from the general apprecia
tion of his energy, courage ' and
shrewdness in the management of a
political campaign. That it was with
great reluctance he was obliged to
forego what would have been a pleas
ure as well as a duty, those who
know him, will nob- doubt. But the
state of his health did not admit of
his,assuming the' arduous labors and
grave responsibilities which attach
this fall to the Position. Ile prom
ises, however, to do active service as
a member of the Committee, when
his restored health will permit, and
we have no doubt that before •the
contest closes he will be found in the
thicOst of the fight, leading the
;marshalled hosts of the Keystone to
to victorious result at the polls. .
- And now how stands the battle?
It is well enough to take a careful
:review of the field,. that we may
neitherbe depressed by unnecessary
foreVodings nor endangered by. too
great . confidence. Fit, as to Peun
sylvani: it is certahithat the nomi
nation of HANPOCK kaaexcitea hopes
in the Democratic ranks of a possi
bility of . carrying the State for him.
There_ are no indications, however;
that the nomination has au 7 peculiar
'strength, and there ate nil Ogmt_of
'defection fro* our mike— 04. the
CQ / W eir 7;o:o l /9 1 0. 1 .49L ' 0f; fOilt in,
Bradford is a fair index of the state
of feeling throughout the State—the
party was never more united, harmo
nious and determined. - This State is
ccrtain to give a large majority for
°Annum, (A that the sun shall
on the second of November. The
State can only be endangered or lost
by apathy or neglect. This danger
is likely to be avoided.
Is the election of GARFIELD and
'ARTHUR possible with a 'solid South
against them ? We will concede to
the Democrats their solid South, con
sisting of these States.: -Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware,Florida,Gvrgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis
sissiOpi, Missouri, Noith Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, and West Virginia. They
have an aggregate of 138 Electoral
votes, or 47 short of a majority.
The Republicans, on the other hand
set downi the following as reasonably
I sure for their candidates: Colorado,
Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Nevada, New-Hampshire,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
The Electoral votes of these number
160, leaving 25 to be won from the
doubtful States, which are California,
with 6, Connecticut, 6 ; India a,15 ;
New-Jersey, 9, and New-York; 35.
Under ordinary circumstances, Cali
fornia would hardly be doubtful, and
the chances now are' that its , vote
will be found in the Republican col
umn. Assuming this to be the case,
and taking the assurances of Mr.
JEWELL and Mr. NEW as to Codnecti-
I cut and Indiana, we have the requisite
number without New-York,) which
would alone be suilicient,_ In other
words, of the States set down as
doubtful, the Republicans need' only
New-York, or California, Connecti
cutond Indiana, or New-Jersey aid
Indiana, with either California or
Connecticut;' while the Democrats
must gain both New-York and . In
diana, or New-York and Ne,w-Jersey,
with California or Connecticut.
The prospect of success, then is
not only favorable, bat almost cer
tain, if there is a reasonable amount
of activity and work: The Republi
can candidates will. grow stronger
and stronger, day by day, as the
election approaches. The; public
mind turns instinctively 'and
,confi
dently to the Republican party as
the safeguard of the nation. The
voters of the generation which fought
and suffered (luring the Rebellion,
are not ready to give the government
into the hands of the men-who fought
to destroy the Union. Brotherly love
and fraternal feeling do not go quite
so far as that, particularly when a
solid South stands as.a warning and
a menace.
Nononv calls him Hangman H.eicocx,
because it would be imitating the bad
manners of the Democracy.
Tim Society o )f, JESUS, or the Jesuits as
they are commonly termed, have at dif
ferent times incurkd the displeasure of
various European governments, -and been
by royal or legislative decrees expelled
for antagonism to the ruling powers. The
name itself has been commonly accepted
as significant of crooked and devious
methods, and the Society has usually
managed to be against the" goveinments
unless - it could completely control their
policy. The Society was founded in the
sixteenth century, and has flourished and
increased its numbers and povier notwith
standing the severe measures, sometimes
amounting to persecution, whictiThave at
different times been adopted to scatter the
members and confiicate their PrO,perty.
Their peculiar practices have been viewed
with distrust and alarm, not only by Pro
testants but by many Catholics, and some
of the severest laws passed and enforced
against them have been by Catholic na
tions.
The Republic of France is now engag
ed in the work of expelling the . Jesuits,
or rather in the effort to make the Socie
ty respect the laws of the State. The
Jesuits have managed, with the adroit
ness for whitth they are noted, to get at
the head of the educational institutions.
A resolution was passed by the Chamber
of Deputies requiring the government to
enforce the existing decrees against non
authorized congregations; or those which
bad declined to submit their statutes for
inspection as preliminary' for authoriza
tion. The Jesuits, who have never ac
knowledged a superior or 4 governing pow
er, whenever they help it, declined to ob
serve the requirements and were notified
to close their establishments after three
months' notice, which time expired on
the 30th of June. on that day the au
thorities proceeded to disposseas them
from their several establishrneUts t , in most
cases using force for. their expulsion.
At this distant*, it is difficult to under
stand all the questions involved in this
arbitrary movement, which seems repug
nant to the liberal vicOve take of the lib
erty of conscience and action. But there
are unquestionably good and sufficient rea
sons for the action of the French Govern
ment in its determination to assert the
power of the State, and to maintain its
authority against a society which has at
all times been antagonistic to Republican
institutions.

THE Republican party was never so
thoroughly united as it is OD GARFIELD
and Aivraim.
SENATOR. J. D. CAMERON, who is stay
ing at the White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia, has written a letter to L. MONT
GOMERY BOND, Esq., of Philadelphia, in
which he says : "As far as my health will
permit, will do all l can to keep in power
the Republican party ; but, as to raking
the chairmanship of the National Com
mittee, that I cannot do, for the reason.
that I am physically unable to undergo

adjou►ment of Congress, very much

ONE of General GARFIELD'S . staff says
that a fugitive slave with bleeding bead
came into the camp in. Kentucky 'once,
hotly pursued.by a planter. The. division
commander, who believed in the+ fugitive
slave law, wrote an order to Brigadier
deneral GARFIELD to bunt up and deliver
the negro, who was hid' in. GARFIELIS'S
command. GARFIELD, on receiving the
order, wrote on the back : "I respectful
ly but positively decline to allow 7 com
mand to search for or deliver up any fngi
slaves. I conceive that they are here
for quite another purpose. The ceintriand
is open, and no obstacles will be plated
in the way of search." The messenger
told GARFIELD he was afraid be would be
court-martialed for disobedienee'‘ of or
ders. The General replied : "The mat
ter may as well be tested first, as last.
Right is right, and I do not propose to
mince matters at all. My soldiers are
hero for other puEposes than hunting and
returning highly° slaves. My people, on
the Westefn Reserve of Ohio; do not send
my boys and myself down here to do that
kind Of - business, and they will back me
up in my actions." Ha never heard of-it
again.
Foust years ago, U. L. LENllinf, who
had been the trusted cashier 'of the First
National Bank at Montrose, Susquehan
na County, startled the community by
endeavoring to pass a forged check for
$lO,OOO on .a New York banking house.
He was arrested :and sitenced to four
years' imprisonment at Sing Sing. Hjs
disgrace led to an investigation of his ac
'Counts by the bank officers at Montrose,
whose implicit confidence he had hitherto
enjoyed, and they igeovered that he had
robbed the bank of various large
amounts. His term of imprisonment to
satisfy the violated law of Now York ex
pired at Sing Sing on Sunday last, and he
was met at the prison door by Sheriff Mc
guar of Susquehanna County, who was
armed with the papers necessary for his
removal to Montrose, where there are
eight indictments awaiting him. The re
leasi'of the forger from New York, and
the prospects of his speedy conviction in
his native county have renewed public in
terest in the case, the progress o ,tbf which
will be watched eagerly. The preseUt
prosecutions are brought against him by
the First National Bank, through its at
torney.
A DEMOCRATIC soldier writes the fol
lowing "cold comfort" to the Philadel
phia Timm He expresses the sentiments
of the soldier boys when lie says: "I see
by your independent journal that a great
many Republicans are going to vote for
HANCOCK and his election is sure. We
have 'beard the same thing on two occa
sions
. before,• namely : MCCLELLAN and
GREELEY ; but when the time came for
voting they, all fell into line, the same as
they will again for GARFIELD, and voted
the Republican ticket. And the Grand
Army of the Republic are'going to vote
for HANCOCK. Why, do the people be;
lieve this? I 'hope not: Why the first
thing the Democratic party did was to
discharge every member. of our order and
put rebels in their places. Where, some
one will ask ? Why, in the House and
Senate of the' United States. Do the
Democrats think we have forgotten so
soon ? No, nor are we blind to the real
intentions, with • the name of General
HANCOCK to help them through. We do
not want our pensions reduced ; and the
rebels pensioned, and fOr these reasons
ninetyliut of 'every one hundred Grand
Army men and soldiers will vote against
the Democratic party. Although we love
HANcocE, who is a good, hornet soldier,
we will, when the time comes, cast our
votes for our comrades GCliStal GARFIELD
and'AETHUR, and don't You forget it."
TIIE Philadelphia Presi came out on
the s.th with an entire dress which it sad
14y needed, and is now one of * the neatest
and brightest of our exchanges. And we
are also pleased to Pbserve a great im
provement jri the tone of the . paper. It
is no longer the conduit through which is
discharged petty perionalities and per
sonal giievances. If the Press will as
sume and maintain the high-toned posi
tion an independent organ should take, it
will be creditable to the management and
of great usefUlness to the Republican
party. There is no reason why the Press
should not be the leading - Republican
journal of the State, and .wield a corres
ponding amount of influence, instead of
being a by-word and subject of derision.
We•shalleonfidently look for an honor
able ancliprosperous career for the Press
in the future.
An i rrnEn illustration of the dighonesty
"of the rtion that there is free speech
in the south is found in the conduct of an
Alabama mob at a Republican meeting in
Montgomery the other day. This the
second recent instance of Democratic
ruffianism in the former •capital of the
rebel Confederacy. The roughs who pelt
ed the speakers at this Republican ratifi
cation-, meeting, and • interrupted the
speeches with ribald and profane outcries
Were uneonsciously verifyin: the oft-re
peated statement that free speech would
be practically abolished whenever the
Democracy are in the ascendency. And
the only Democrat who urged the mob to
desist, used the novel argument that the
Republicans could be out-counted even if
they could not be out-voted.
ALTHOUGH Mr: BUADL ' *UGH has affirm.
ed and taken his Oat in the English
House of Commons, his troubles are far
from being at an end. A suit for £5OO
damages under the statute against exercis
ing, illegally, powers as a member of the
House has now to be answered, and as
Mr. BRADLAtrou proposes to continue to
speak and vote, although there is a sepa
rate penalty for each legislative act, there
is a chance of an' accumulation of penal
ties sufficient to make even this tough
Liberal wince.
Ting papers which call HANcots the
hero of Gettysburg are careful not` to men
tion the interesting fact that on the day
that-that battle was fought a Democratic
mob held possession of . New York, and
stoppel their shooting, hanging and burn
init molly long enough to acknowledge
GOserbbr SEYMOUR'S courtesy in address
ing tbem as "my friends."

Committee, when on motion of N.
C. ELSBBEE, Esq., L. M. HALL was
chosen chairman of.ihe meeting. As
Mr. HALL came forward to take the
chair he'l was greeted with a round
of applause , that made the building
.tremble. When the , applause had
subsided Mr. HALL'addressed. the as
semblage in a speech of about ten
minutes duration, which was fre
quently interrupted by tumultuous
applause and cheers. His remarks
were substantially as-Tollows
My friends, I thank you for this honor
—the greatest I have ever received. A.
few days since I assisted in raising the
flag that hangs over yonder. It is the flag
of our Union, and it bears on its face the
names of the candidates of the'party that
saved the Union. Some considered, this
as a declaration on my part that I would
this Fall vote for those men. They were
right; I shall do so: (Applause.) My
reasons for so doing are many; more than
I have time to tell this evening. One is
because I believe they lead the party of
progress and ideas; the party of the free
and loyal North; the party whose strong
holds are the corn and wheat fields of the
West, the miiietarwealth of Pennsylvania
and the intellect of. New-England (Ap
plause); the party whose candidates wete
not selected to please -John Kelly, the
leader of the solid ignorance of the City
of New York; the party that, when weak,
foolish men, by false tokens, sought to rob
labor of its due, to sink the nation's bon ,
or, to borrow present prosperity and pay,
for it in future ruin, rose in its might,
resumed specie payments and again saved
the land (Applause); the party whose
platform contains no free trade plank to
strike down NOrtherri industries and
make rich the cotton planters of rebel
States ; the party that took the govern
ment from the hands of. the Democracy
when it could, borrow no money abroad,
and when at home its bonds, bearing in-
terest at seven per cent, a year, based on
the nation's plighted faith, were at a
heavy diseount, and has naw made the
four per cent. bonds of the nation com
mand a.premium of eight cents' on a dol
lar in every market of the world. The
party that this dear, without grinding
down the poor man •or robbing the .rich,
will pay one hundred million dollars on
the nation's bonded debt (Applause); the
party whose hope of success is not based
on the enforced obedience of a race of
men trained by ages of bondage to bow
and tremble beneath and obey the lash
and shot-gun of their old masters; a par
ty that has fought more battles, won
more victories,, has shed more blood for
freedom, whose success is prayed for -by
more soldiers' widows, that cares for
more soldiers' orphans, has more heroes
dead, 4note heroes living, than any or all
othet.parties in any or all lands. (Great
applause.)
• And this is not the }hit time I have
been in all things with the Republican
party. .The first time was when I learn
ed with-terror that a rebel army was with
in- the borders of our State—when, what
we thought . a rebel scout on a black horse
rode through our town selecting places
for encampment; and. for havoc. When at
night-I clung to mother's knee,- and for
aught I knew before the m wow we
would be compelled to flee to the moun
tains, lightkd by our-burning home. When
I coald tell the news of Union victory by
the glad faces of Loyal men, and read the
story of robe/ route from the sad faces of
-our Democratic neighbors. Then my
present feelings had their birth ; they
grew with my growth, and are , part of
my - beinp. (Applause).
True it is that when Horace Greeley, a
man I loved more than all others, duped
by a false contraction, was led away from
the party he had. helped to make, - boy
that I was, my hopes and wishes_ went
with him. He died before he had found out
his mistake, but I have lived f p see mine.
I hope to live to to repair it. '(Applause).
From this time on, living, I shall he an
humble worker in the Republican party ;
when dead, it is my wish that my body may
moulder away in the soil of a land ruled
by the Republican party. (Prolonged
applause).
I have told you my creed ; now- let me
tell you my ambition—!'or they say I am
ambitious and aSpiring.• It is this : That
when once more the news comes that victo
ryis with the Republican party. I can stand
among you and say, we have fought this
great battle ; we have won this great vic
tory. (Tremendous applause). .
I am now at your service, and we will
proceed with the business of the meeting.
At the conclusion of Mr. BALL's
eloquent address, C. M. HALL, Esq.,

Hon; GEO. LANDox was then loud
ly called for and came forward, and
was greeted with applause, long con--
Untied. Our readers are well aware
that Mr. LANDON, as an orator, stands
in the front rank of the, ablest, and
best of our land, and they also know
how utterly impossible It would be
to give a synopsis of one of his
speeches that would do justice to it
as a whole. Therefore, when we say
that his - speech on this occasion was
pronounced by many who have heard
him often before, as the ablest effort
*of his life, the readers of the
Rs

grandbr eloquent, how forcible the

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.'
PHILADILLPUIA, Adj,,5.11160.
The steam coUlei Reading, is now lying
up for repairs at Cramp's dry dock, Ken
sington; On the bottom of ths- vessel,
near her bow, workmen found several of
the iron plates pressed slightly inward.
Of course this could easily have been
caused by running , aground, but, as • the
Reading has not met with any such mis•
hap since she was last overhauled and
found in proper shape, the impression
discovered' has to be accounted for in,
some other way. On a recent trip be-,
tween this port and Boston several whales
were sighted spouting and plaiting in the
briny deep off the shores of Cape Cod.
Most of these monsters upon the approach
of the. steamship sank out of sight or.
sculled away, but there was one much
larger. than his fellows, seventy or eighty
feet long in fact, that seemed to have
plu'cked up his • courage and determined
not to move for the iron mastodon. Di
rectly in her course he lay in her course
until the Vessel had borne.almost down
upon him, when, losing heart, he plung
ed &Ain into his native element. Un
fortunately for the . whale, and perhaps
for tad, vessel, the huge Oh did not ditie
deei. enough. A heavy thud, which shook
the ship as though she had ran upon a rock,
was the whale's parting salute. All hands
on boar watched to see if the animal
4 ,
would appear, but the vessel sped on
and the pbjent it had collided with,iiid
not again show itself. _ The captain of a
lithooner which sailed into Massachusetts
11 , 4 a few days later reported that he hai'l
picked up at sea an
, exceedingly large
whale of a most peculiar species, having
a decidedly humped back. •
On the 27th or April, 1870, Charles
Max, then a policeman under Mayor Fox,
while in discharge of his duty, shot and
killed .Taines Walsh and . John 3lur
tagh; by whom ho was attacked at
Third street and Montgomery avenue.
Max surrendered himself at once,, but
was,acquitted, and remained on the force
until the end of Mayor Fox's term. He
then resumed his trade of carpentering,
but the fact of having killed the , men so
preyed upon his mind that he recently be
came violently insane, and is now in the
iAlmshouse hospital.
Dr. Weilitent Gilbert, Coroner of Phila
delphia, died on Monday night of last
week, at his residence, Ninth and Pine
streets, of typhoid fever, after l an illness
of but one week. Deceaild*was born on
December 29, 1829, in Northumberland
County. His father was Dr. David Gil
bert, professor at the Pennsylvania Col
lege.
When the glorious Fourth falls on Sun
t. ay, there is in a city virtually three days
of celebrating, affording a practical illus
tration of the saying that there can be
too much of a good -thing. For the boys
appear to be uncertain whdther Saturday
or Monday is the proper day t o
~ be observ
ed, and their patriotic instin cts lead them
to make a certainty of
. their demonstra
tions, so they begin on _ the third, and
keep it up until the fifth. The •cirstoma
ry proclamation from the Mayor was is,
sued' in due season, prohibiting the use' of
fire-crackers, fire-arms, etc., and the
Chief of Police attempted to enforce it.
Imagine a raid made on a hundred thous
and boys to Prevent the observance of a
time-honored custom ! It may have les
sened the sale of the 'Chinese abomina
tions, though the noises made world not
not seem to indicate it. There was a sort
of emnpronfise, probably, by allowing the
boys their crackers,' but suppressing the
idiots who go about the streets firing pistols,
which is the fruitful source of the accidents
occurring. The police-stations this morn
ing were stored with captured revolvers
and cheap pistols Captured from thevio
latOrs of the city ordinances.
Keely, the motor man, invented among
other things a vaporia lift, intended for
raising heavy weights. The feat is ac
complished by means of a belt strapped
around the waist to which are attached
numerous small wires. Two •of these
wires are connected with a small instru
ment resembling watch case, which
contains wheels and springs. While Mr.
Seely was practicing-with the lift recent
ly he burst a blood vessel, causing a se
vere hemorrhage. lie was found in his
work shop in an insensible condition, with
blood flowing from his mouth. He was
ill for several days, but his - condition is
now improving. • ,
Two cases of sudden death occurred
last week. On Saturday evening a sniall
colored boy named Gray, residing at No.
222 Wyoming street, and a small boy
named Rowland, living at No.. 1331 Rye
street, bad a fight, during which Emanu
el Rowland, aged thirteen years, appear
ed on the scene ana attempted to separate
the combatants. Miranda Gray, aged
thirteen years, thinking that her brother
was getting the worst of the encounter
pitched into Emanuel and gave him a se
vere beating. Shortly afterward she was
seized with spasms and fell in an insensi
ble condition to the pavement. She was
removed to her home and Dr. Gross was,
called in, but his efforts to restore -her
proved unsuccessful, and•she died shortly
afterward. Emanuel Rowland was ar
rested and taken to the Second-district
. Police station, where he was retained un
til an examination was made of the dead
girl's body. As no marks *ere discover
ed on the remains, Acting Coroner Beam
discharged Rowland 4
Jarbes Jones, colored, on, Sunday morn
ing took a couple of women into a saloon
at No. 907 South street, fol. the purpose
of treating them. Shortly after be had
ordered the liquor.he fell dead. The jury
rendered a verdict' of death from rupture
of the aorta.
Train No. 513 of the Philadelphia and
Reading Line, bound for Ocean Grolie
and Long Branch, was fifteen minutes be
hind time on Wednesday, and Engineer
Munn' was trying to make up for it by
running at frill speed between. Crawford
and Rozell, when the connecting-rod of
the engine broke in the centre. The ends
whirled with frightful rapidity with the
revolutions of tha wheels and cut like a
knife through the Boor of the cab. En
gineer Mnnn, regardless of his own dan
ger, shut off the steam, applied the. air.
brakes, and warned the firemen .of their
danger. The train stopped after it had
gone two hundred yards. The broken
rod and the uninjured one were remoire i ll
and the train again 'started' on its way,'

Four of the elehe in the office of the
Court of Quarter Sessions were-allowed
to resign on Saturday. These men 'were
Isaac Mcßride, Chief Deputy ; Frank P.
Goodwin, Samuel Clements and Edwin
F. Circe.. Last Friday, Mr. William B.
Leeds, who has been acting as •Quarter
Sessions Clerk since the death of Mr.,
Trutuan, was summoned before the Board
of Judges, and informed that as the men
named above were in fact officers' of the
Court, and bad.heen convicted by their
own admissions of• wrong-doing and ex
torting illegal fees, they •muitt be 'die,
charged. Mr. Leeds, in this dilemma,
gave the clerks the privilege o- resigning,
an opportunity they gladly embraced.
These fine are the men who were recent
ly charged with irregularities in the issue
of tavern licenses. Bills of indictment
were sent to the Grand Jury against
them; but by some means they were ig
nored.
Wiliiam Hague, alias. Curly Harris,
convicted of murder in the second degree,
in taking the life'of John Davis, alias Jim
Riley, by jabbing him in the eye with a
pistol, was on Saturday sentenced by
Judge Yerkes to an imprisonment of ten
years in the Eastern Penitentiary. "

Your house may never burn; you must surely die. -It

TOWANDA_
The. White League Favorite).
The nomination of General Han
cock .comes too late. The same
thino was tried in 1864, with Gener
al McClellan as a candidate, and
then it was too early. The war was
not yet over, and the representative
of the disloyal South, through a dis
tinguished Union soldier, was, not
trusted. 'General Hancock came in
to political notice in 1868, as the
representative of the White Leagues
of Louisana, which, with his aid as
military commander, had effectually
applied Andrew'Johnson's policy to
the extinguishment of the loyal party
in that district. He had. been flat
tered by
,his selection to take com
mand in that. district in place of
General. Sheridan, who had been put.
aside because he would not carryout
Mr. Johnson's'policy, thwart the re
construction acts, and put the Gray
above the Blue. General Hancock
was made to believe 'that a Presi
dency- would follow if he faithfully
carried out." my policy," and became
the mouthpiece and defender of the
.cunning and implacable Bourbons of
the South. His orders and letter&of
that period, in every line, might
have 'been dictated. by the• secret
council of the White League.. All
'that man could do, as an officer of
the Government, to shield from pun
ishment the cowardly assassins who
were engaged, in exterminating loy
alty in the Southwest,' General Han
cock did by his orders and his .re
fusal to act. , it is to - be presumed
that ne did not 'know the facts. He
surrounded himself with a coterie of
rebel' politicians, and, being politi
cally an inexperienced and r imr6es
sionable man, believed what they,
told him. In return for his compla
isance and aid, he was promised, and
after twelve years at last receives,
nomination for the• Presidency at the
hands'of the men who tried to de
stroy the i I..T n ,
There can be no mistake as to the
influence to which this noinivation is
due.,. Nearly every Southern State
voted to nominate General Hancock
in . the Democratic ConientioN of
1868, and when they failed the Solid
South took General Frank Blair, as
another Union sailer who believed
the constitutional amendtnents '• un
constitutional, revolutidnary and
The,void:' North spurned' Seymour
and Blair, as it would then have
spurned General Hancock -if nomi
nated, or any other representative of
,the White League !policy advocated
by Mr. Johnson. Twelve years have
passed, and again the Solid South'
tries to put a trusty servant into the
-White House. The votes for Gener
al Hancock were cast mainly by
Southern delegations. Some month's
ago, a. telegram from certain White
League leaders of Louisana, dis
closed the fact,that.they were work
ing, in Louisana, Mississippi, Texas,
and the other Cotton States, for the
nomination of their friend of 1867.
The Convention, was managed, and,
adroitly rushed beyond all cool con
sideration, by their manoeuveres.
Mr. Kelly. in New York and Mr.
Wallace.in Pennsylvania, Who wished
to,,beat Mr. Tilden at any cost, be
catne the Northern managers for the
- Scilid South, and will divide the hot
ors of the victory. But do thciy
think that the loyal 'people of the
North will now go back to the anti-
reconstruction policy of Andrew
Johnson, and vote to make its most
willing and subservient instrument
the President of these United
States ?
There has been a period of hearty
desire for reconciliation. Rightly
or wrongly, many Republicans have
felt that the good faith of the South
ought to be tested by fair trial ; that
its pledges to enforce the la'ws and,
protect the rights of all citizens
might perhaps be kept, if troops aud•
Federal control were withdrawn.
When that feeling existed, if.ever,'
General Hancock might have been
elected, and yet a candidate who
represented that sentiment linmeas
urably better was beaten. The test
has been made. Troops have been
withdrawn. The Solid South has
been, put upon.its honor. But every
pledge has been broken, every_ law
has' been defiled' with impunity,
loyalty has been stamped out by
assassination or by fraud, and the
large porer gained by the Solid
South through conciliation and con
fidence has been used to block the
wheels of Government, to break
down barriers to free fraud in
Northern cities, and to thrust s upon
the country 'most dangerous and
revolutionary schemes. It is too
late for gush ; too late for confidence
in Southern loyalty ; too late for
arm•in.arm Cohventions like that of
Philadelphia in 1860; too late for
the eager and passionate hopefulness,
by which alone a nomination like
that of General Hancock could have
been commended to loyal vozers.
The test has been made. The Solid
South has shown itself as desperate,
disloyal and revolutionary as ever,
and General Hancock is now almost
the thinnest disguise it could have
taken. If elected, he would be as
subservient, as easily moulded, and
as-hostile to all loyal measures for
admiring 09 Thstilta of the war, as
367.
