The Cricket Invasion of Nevada—'Whenee
They Come and Whither Bound.
Yvette the Territorial _ Eaterpris!?,l'irginta City, Neva
The State has been invaded by crickets
Vast armies of them have entered the eastern
portion of the State. A week ago the advanced
guard of the devastating horde poured down
upon Elko, and as they swept past with their
silent tramp, the people stood appalledat their
numbers. The laiko Ihd , itendent does not trade
•their course eastward, but they evidently come
from I.:,tati,thellilille of the cricket,grasshopper
and polygainus Mormon, and are endeavoring
to cut or eat their way through • to thegreen
valleys of the True kee. They are destructive on
vegetation, and their advance should be
stopped by some means. As the *hilarious
mai shes of the Ganges seem to be the home of
the cholera, so: does ' Utah appear :to be the
birth-place of the cricket and grasgho l iper
plagues of the ,Great ''Basin. For the past .
right or ten years. if not longer,that Territory
bas been sorely afflicted _ with, ,grasshoppers,
and it has sometimes seemed that the Saints
would be compelled to yield their fields and
pa.stures to these innumerable and remorse
less destroyers.' The cricket pest, however.
has been less severe, and from the habits of
this insect, we do t noapprehend that the pre
sent invasion will prove very destructive.
They sometimes appear in prodigious
numhers, but they travel slowly, and their ad
vance is easily stopped. In 1530, for a distance
c.f twenty or twenty-tive miles, in -Utah, the
whole face of - tho • country:was. - so. - detiSelfed-'
vered with crickets—large, fat, clumsy, win,d-.
less fellows - that the wheels of theLemigrant's
wagon became almost clogged with the
crushed carcasses of these insects. As their
course could easily be traced, it was manifest
that they had pot traveleiTfar, and winter pro
bably overtook them before they swept over a
very wide scope of the , country. They ad
vance steadily, however, and multiply a hun
dred and fifty fold each year. Hence crickets,
now tat they have entered the State, may be
expected for some, : years to come. , , ,

Attempt to' be Rade to Enforce
Trenton, at HaziteUra•-.linspended Re.

--Action of Reading Rallroad.—Sbip.
mentsi,etc. -
Tbe demand for coal has improved very
greatly, becoming quite active during the
week.. All sizes are wanted, and bring good
figures. The result of the Scranton sale has
relieved buyers from many apprehensions, and
in consequence numbers wtiki . were holding off
in anticipation, are coming into the market.
Quite an impetus to tbetrade has also been
given by the faiure to resume work in the sus.
pended regions. At present, buyers, who held
back for that reason, are coming in with their
orders, they seeing, from the present state of
affairs, that the time of resumption is some
es bat distant. _Thethreatened strike on_theB
hour. question, In all the regions, -and conse
quent 'withholding of the supply, has its effects
on the trade.,
The anticipated troubles at Hazleton, in re
gard to a new lease between the operators arid
inen.(reported in our last Saturday's article),
hare culininated in a strike. All the collieries
in that region owned and operated by Messrs:
A. I'ardee 86 , C0., are idle, withlhe - exceptiOn
of the Jeddo and Latimer, the men there being
satisfied with their terms. As it look.; nnw, it
is hardly expected. work will be resumed this
month.
In the meanwhile other troubles are brew
g-hrthe adjoining regions. An tempt will
be made on the 15th of this month to enforce
tie orderof the Grand" COunciT of the - W713:
A.. relative to making eight hours a lawful
day's work. ,The miners are not generally in
favor of it. Neither do they advocate a strike,
but as they are subject to the W. B. A.., they
are forced into it. ' The different regions are
now awaiting the action of, those • not. , heard
from, and should all or a majority so declare,
a snspensicin will take place at thattime. The
men at the Beaver Meadow regions, compris
ing some of the largest producing collieries In
the region,have - endorsed at their meeting the
action of the Grand Council of the W. B. A.,
and_votedtosustain -it. - -The resolutions re
ferred tclas having been passed by body
are the following :
" /?Pv.diwt, That on and atter the 15th day of
July, eight hours shall constitute a lawful day's
work for all members,of this Association an
the Anthracite-coal-field..
- "Re.sored, That - each branch and district
,hall regulate their average contract work not
to go over three dollars per day 'on basis of
I t‘oit, with the -privilege of twenty-five cents
per day for gangways and wet and dangeroas
,places. ,
RP:oil/Y.:fi t That those places who have not
yet the basis be restricted to one -fifth their
labor,,with Nrorlung an
the._ Carbondale rrillatiods,but-the_eight
Goiirs to lie enifirced, without distinction, in
all the districts."
This means ten tours pay for eight hours'
labor. Were this-demand---acceded to by the
operators, the
. burthen Would fall upon.
. the
eon-taiiOra - - - -
This is the_latest_move-made--byAhe-sus
pemled regions
in order to bring about a gene.- -
ral strike, and by Withdrawing - the supply of
.coal render work necessary, for as now the re
gions working Veep the demand supplied,
without materially affecting the.nrice ; where
as, should the supply be diminished, and
prices in consequence go up, some operators,
tempted by the rise, would give in, and on one
giving the terms asked by the men, others

to comply, as was the case in the general
strike of 1869, when the present basis of wages
-, • , .. ,, t , -fi toAlw_tuen, -, ohtained.byneans:of
a _general suspnsion.
The position of s.lfairsin the suspened re
gions is decidedly changed from that of last
week at this time, when a compromise was
about. being effected which was to have caused
a resumption of work on the sth, it being that
the miners were to accent a reduction of 20
per cent: on the basii of -1869, and eight limirs'
time for all work done by the day. It in all
probability would have gone into effect, as
some of the weak-kneed operators were nr
-gentl!,7,---advocating the acceptance of such
terms, Lad it not been for the following order:
', Clio: t: I. Alt No. 7.—Philadelphia and Read
i lig Railroad Companv—Office, 227 S. Fourth
,trees, Philadelphia, ,luly 2, 1870.—From and
after Friday. July 8, 1870, and during the con
tinuance of the suspension, tolls on anthracite
, oal to all paints will be advanced fifty cents
per ton, and no drawbacks will be allowed on
anthracite coal shipped from Richmond.
" Immediately Rion a general resumption of
work upon any satisfactory basis - Of wages,the
present rates of tolls and drawbacks will be re
sumed, and for a period of at least thirty days
. thereafter no further advance of tolls •• or re
duction of drawbacks will be made.
FRANKLIN B. GOWEN, President."
The effect of the circular was immediate.
•All efforts to compromise *ere . dropped. The
uselessness of any arrangements for work,
sitort"of general resumption on a satisfactory
basis in face of the advance, in tolls, was plain.
The tide of aflairs,was then - changed•from, in
favor of the miners, to the operators, whose
cause may now be looked on as in the
ascendant. The effect of this order
'ill be to bring about a resump
tion favorable to the operators,. more
than anything else that could have • been, done
to that end, as the W. - B.A. will now see
that they have others .to deal with than the
operators. It also will have the effect of stop
ping those collieries that have given in to the
Demand of the men. Nothing was more op
portune than the interference of the Railroad
Company, as it strengthened many operators
almost willing - to concede to the men, and
- Would not permit those to work who were
willing, an dmaiting. an, opportunity -to..accept
the men's terins: • - A
On the issuing 'of the order -a' meeting was
called of the Anthracite Board of Trade of the
Schuylkill, and -'a. circular, addressed to the
public generally and 'trade particUlarly, was
the result, in which--they - reviewed their
course since the strike, and conclusively sho wed
that, under the. present statepf affairs, they
could not work advantageously and pay the
men the terms demanded.
' The following extract we take from it,
which shows that they are firm as to the en
forcement of the acceptance of their offer
by the men :
To accomplish this *object we propose to
remain idle until our present workmen will
,agree with us, inasmuch a.s our terms are rea
sonable, or until we Can supply ourselVes with
another class of workmen."
The demand for coal in New :York is tole
rably active, Lehigh coal selling without much
trouble at fair prices. There wereshipped over
both railroads and canal 8,763,512 tons.
—A, census taker in Nevada visited a house
where he found no one but a woman, and she
in bed. " Have.you any, children, Madame,"
asked the deputy of the flansus Bureau. The

" The certainty that the national administra
tion will' soon be on the side of order has al
ready had a restraining effect on the violent. I
must 'add that thousands who were once beside
themselves in Democratic frenzy have been
restored to reason by seeing that, after all, a
Republican triumph is no calamity to the
country or to themselves. Tbe eiection_ot
Grantbas not lowered - the value of their lands
or their cotton. Norie of the evils predicted
by Democratic prophets; have come to pass.
Bence a better temper is prevailing. It is my
belief that in five-sixths of our counties a Re
-publican may now live, - travel;plant , trade, — '
-
preach, speak and print, without any unlawful
hindrance. In some places there might be
incivility. There might be what is called" so
_cial ostracism." But mere incivility -is`--not
.within the reach of the law. And I do not
consider " social ostracism," ,on political
grouruls,as a legal or even a personal grievance.
My contempt tor those who practice it is, only
evnalled by my contenipt for those who will
swerve from their convictions on account of
it. No man with the 'slightest tincture of
self-respect wants the society of those who do
not want his
if v.
in-demand-from--the-eovernment
nothing but protection in our legal , riglits.'
This_protection _has-been -extensively denied
to Republicans in Georgia. And afte,r , all de
ductions for recent improvement, and for ex-'
aggerations by the interested, the -. vindictive
and the timid; it is certain that in some parts

`press it unless invigorated' by at

the country generally belieire that the General
Assembly, as now composed, will not afford a
remedy. Hence wises the necessity of action
by Congress.
" Can this action be taken except under the
assumption that - --reconstruction is - domiilete? -
I have shown why I think this assumption
is not true; and I would not resort to fictions
even.to accomplish - a good end. But the de
sired end can be reached without any such re
sort. The Constitution - non:provides that*no'
State shall deny to any person within its juris
diction the equal protection of the laws, and
that Congress shall have power to enforce thiS
provision by appropriate legislation. If this
does-not mean that when any part of the peo
ple in any State are unprotected bY.a, State.
law Congress mao apply a remedy, it has' no
meaning that I can discover. Whether the
_remedy shall beamincieaseof-theLjurisdiction
of the United States Cmirbi, or a change

don of the State made by a convention chosen
by such a_constituency_ and under Such rules
of - eligibility that Congress may safely , ' trust
it,_or the strengthening of a well-dispesed
Smote autheliity by military fqrce - , orsome - plan
different from all - these; are questions for the
- consideration of Congress. This theory-gives:
Congress no greater power over Georgia than
over any other State when similar; protection•
is needed. It avoids the inconsistency of giv
ing to Congress a right to correct in Georgia
evils which Congress cannot correct in South
Carolina or Ohio. It avoids the hardships
of depriving the State of a representa
don in Congress at a time_when..the action._
of Congress will specially and vitally affect
her welfare. It looks not to the reconstruc
tion acts, which have done their office in.
Georgifi; - birt' - t6 - the — amend ed - CoriStitifilen, -
:--which-operates -permanently-and-impartially,-
It declares that the government which went
into operation here last July is the legal and
valid government of Georgia, and will so re
main until altered or abolished by competent
authority. It maintains the ground taken Ilty
the Republicans of Georgia in the late can
vass, that the reconstruction of this State had
been consummated and would be confirmed
by the success of General Grant. It provides
for the future without falsifying the past.
" No consequence of this theory is more ac
ceptable to me than that it would give to MrHill
his seat in the Senate. We are informed that
there is no 'Objection to him in Washington ou
nersonal grounds, and this, I trust, is true.
it is presumable that Republican Senators
would welcome to their body a man so capable,
so upright, so ei - perienced, so sagacious, so
,familiar with that part of , the country which
so engages the attention of Congress, so
true to _the Union under adverse cir
,unistances, so decided in his attachment to
the Republican party, and . yet so high, above
mere party Views. Georgia needs him"there.
He knows her mistakes, - her sufferings, her,
resources and her wants. The wisdoni that
inspired his protests against the errors by
which her Ancient prosperity was lost; might
fitly aid in leading; ter to 'a new prosperity,
more healthful and more enduring than the
old. If Senators cannot admit him, under
. this sense of public duty, I will only say, in •
Burkei's words, .'What I may not presume to
censure, Trnay haveleave to lament.'
" I have written as if Congressidnal action
were necessary ; 'and it is necessary, unless
there be a speedy and thorough reaction in
favor of law and right. I have :hardly dared
to hope for such a reaction. But no greater
political blessing could come .to our people.
On every account it is desirable that the errors
of Georgia should be corrected in 'Geotgia,
and by herown authorities and people.
" The principal grievance which, will be •re
dressed- by Cong . . ess, unless voluntarily re
dressed here, is the action of our legislative
bodies in reference to their own composition,
and the persecutions of Republicans and 'col
ored men:- Iri fact, thetwo are connected; fer-:
these persecutions would be stopped, as far
as any governmental agency can stop them,if
we had a Legislature rightly disposed. If the
Democratic members of the General Assembly
would cease to 'follow the bad* counsels of
mischievous men who have long been mis
leading the State, and would undo.all that has
been wrong in the past action,Arld legislate
seriously and energetically for the protection
of the people, they would remove the strong
est reason for stern legislation at Washington.
And every , man who hoes his State should
second this salutary action by zealous efforts
for order and justice as an officer, juror or
_ citizen. Ever since the war it has been the
chronic folly of many of mfrpeople to contend
against the inevitable. May I not venture to
hope that itheywill now catch the spirit of the
incoming administration and sincerely say,
Let us have peace.' Sooner or later peace
will come. Shall it be the peace that is im
posed by fOrce, or the peace that' comes
from good will? 'The decision is with the
Democrat:J(3f Georgia. Some Georgia'Repu

views different , from, the foregoing., Enter-.

A Centenarian's Birthday.
[From the West Cheater Village Record.)
On the 7th instant, quite an interesting
meeting of relatives assembled at Philip
Paxson s, in East Bradford, Chester county,
to commemorate the one hundreth birthday
of Phebe Thomas. There were present nearly
200 relatives and connections. After the com
pany had fully gathered together, Thomas HP
Speakman, Esq., of Philadelphia, a grandson,
read an interesting Family History, of the
centenarian and her branches, down to the
fifth generation, of which a number were
present. It rarely occurs thatirepresentatives
of four generations live under the same roof,
yet upon this occasion we found Phebe
Thomas, her daughter, grand-daughter; and
great-grand-children living together, A sump
tuous entertainment bad been provided 'by
friend Paxsen, which all enjoyed. -
Phebe Thomas was the daughter of Robe'
,and Elizabeth Mendenhall, and was born
the farm now occupied by Rebecca Trimble,
in Concord Mwnship, Delaware county, on
the Seventh day of the AS'eventh month, seventeen
hoodred'«nd seve nty. Her grandfather, Benja
min Mendenhall, came to this country in.
1086, from a town called Mildenhall (origi
nally the family name) in Suffolk, England,
a Sister of whom, (Mary) married_ Nathaniel
Newlin, a prominent man of; that day. Ann,
daughter of Benjamin l beeatiie the Wife of ~Tohn
Bartram, the distinguished botanist. In early
lite she . resided with a her half sister, Mary,
in Darby, from which place she was married
in Friends' Meeting, 1792, to Gideon Thomas,
of Newtown, Delaware county, where she re
sided until4B6s, having been now a widow
for near half a century. She bad three chil
.dren, Sarah, Robert and Ann, the last named,
the widow of Nathaniel Speakman, now re
siding with her son-in-law, Philip Paxson.
Phebe Thomas has now - living about rfifty
great -grand-children, two great-great-grand
children, ono niece of 95 years °rage, another
Of 92, one of 85, and another of 79, one great
nephew of 83 7 —. both Hie last. named„ were
Friend Thomas, until about the age of 95,
continued to drive about from place to place
among her relations and friends, and to meet
ing, many miles at a drive, alone with her
horse and chair; while so controlling her
horse and vehicle it 'as said she never missed
the attendance of but one Quarterly Meeting
though the place.was 14 miles from her home.
It ivas with considerable difficulty her family
(noting her gradual .decline of physical
vigor) prevailed upon her to discontinue her
visits thus alone. She- remembers having
heard the .din and roar of the battles
of , 'Brandywine and Geranantown, and
in April, NO, saw George Washing
ton passing through Darby, on his way
from Mount Vernon, to take his seat as first
President of the United States, at New York.
At her birth Philadelphia ,was a town hug
ging.the western-shores of the Delaware, with
ieW inhabitants ; West Chester had no exis
tence in name until some' fifteen years
.after.
Though our aged friend has been spared from
year to year so long, yet a few short years at
most, irmay be but months, must number her
too with the departed. It may then be well
said of her as it was of another, '
"Till like a clock worn out with eating time,

_ .
'Failure -: Predicted.
' ['Prom the Pittsburgh Despalrlt, July 7.]
Yesterday was theday set apart for holding
the Convention of the Third "Party, and the
result will be found in full in our local cal
mans. We have a high respect for ther gen
tlemen nominated' on the ticket; and for many
who attended the Convention as delegates,
but as a political movement the Convention__ _
was - trfailtire. -- We might -- awry bilf — altialsiti
__on the primaries -to --the—Convention-_ : with=
- effeet pronriety. It lacked - in
bers, enthusiasm, order and good
management. . There were seventy dele
gates, actually representing Just one
hundred and sixty-one Republicans out of
-more than ten.thousand,- , -In anewmovement --
'only thoseran heregarded_as-adherents-whe -
actally connect themselves-with the move

derly attended primaries, yet it, is-known just
what strength, an be commanded at the elec
tion. The primaries Were the means employed
to show just who would come out from, the
party and vote for delegates for this Conven
don. They were thus the test of the
present strength ,of the movement._The
Convention was - ~' - - ;iiia,nged, -
was spiritless, listless, and closed with
out the slightest display of enthusiasm.
-True' - ---reforms always -carry enthusiasm -
with them. Their promoters are always en
thusiastic - blit - thhimovement utterly Jacked,
so far as the primaries or Convention showed,
enthusiasm or spirit. There were sincere, re
spectable gentlemen present. and a few pro
fessional politicians, who seemed to rule and
manage, but they evidently had a larger task
on hand than they were accustomed to. As a
result s the whole affair was a failure. The
nominations made are in themselves commend
able, as embodying the names of: respectable
gentlemen, but our understanding js that but
few are likely to accept, or to manifest the
least interest in the campaign. Their norni
nation is weak, in a political sense. The ticket
lacks coherency or, political purpose. A,
larger number of equally respectable names
Could have been found. The affair looks as
though, conscious of failure, the managers of
the affair determined to extricate themselves
from a difficulty by selecting a list of names
as candidates for certain offices, and then ad
journed, glad - to be rid of an unexpectedly
disagreeable and unpromising job.
THE NEW CASTLE FIRE.
Fuller Particulars.
The following from the Wilmington Coat

in our despatch, about the fire in New Castle
yesterday
At about ten minutes past 10 o'clock, last
night, a tire broke out in the Stockton House,
at New Castle, and - adVaiiced with fearful
rapidity. The Good Will Engine, belonging'
in the town, was quickly on duty, but the
flames had already made such progress that it
could attempt no more than to ,save the stir,
rounding property, and the large hotel build
ing was rapidly and entirely destroyed, together
with an adjoining house belonging to Miss
sally Ritchie, of Louisville, Kentucky, and
occupied by J. H. Rogers, Esq.
The flames at one time spread so rapidly
that it wai' feared that all the houses . on Water
street would be 'destroyed, and the telegraph
operator made unsuccessful efforts to geemes

something very like the farce before, and in
