P gloomfidtr hnf s NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. : Tuesday, July SO, 1872. 8. T; Streetkr has resigned from the Liberal Republican Committee, and will support General Grant. The gorms of the Greeley movement iu Boston are coming the mustard seed dodge Hpo ken of in the Scriptures, and not only the Birds will lodge in tlio branches, but several others will take refuge beneath its shadow, besides ex-Congressman Bird. There is evidently a difference of opin ion on the result of the presidential election, as a New York State farmer has sold his farm, the money not to be pnyablo until Greeley lives iu the White House; while a Chicago man odors a large number of lots and houses for sale, and agrees to wait for his pay until Giant is elected President. AnouT the middle of June a Massachu setts farmer cut down a field of spring rye for fodder.' The rye had headed perfectly. It was supposed that grass would immedi ately follow, but in ten days tho ryo grew up, headed out, and is now the finest look field of rye in that region. This is a new departure in agriculture. Wii.LiAMsronT during tho past week has been the scene of a great excitcmont. The trouble was between the mill owners and the hands, who wore on a strike in order to force the recognition of ten hours as a days labor. On Monday matters assumed so serious an aspect that the Sheriff tele graphed to the Governor for military aid. This was promptly furnished and their ap pearance seemed to put an end to the in cipient riot, without any other action. Th e soldiers will remain for a few days longer to protect the mills in case of necessity. The men on a strike aro peacable, and say they will not go to work unless the mill own ers adopt the ten hour rulo. The arrested ringleaders are still in jail. Tho report of a person being killed and of others dying through the injuries they received are not true. On Monday night of last week a man named Hugh Mara, attempted to assassin ate Alderman McMullcn of Philadelphia, a prominent ward politician, by shooting him in the breast with a pistol ball. At hist accounts McMulle n was alive with prospects of recovery. It is not known what induced the attack, but It is supposed to have been a plot to get him out of tho way, as ho was the owner of some disa agreable secrets, connected with the at tempted murder of Detective Brooks several years since, and for which crime Mara was cent to the penitentiary. He had but recently been pardoned by Gov. Geary, at the solicitation of the man he shot. So far the would-be murderer lias escaped arrest. Why is it, that these low local politicians can control the pardoning power, to effect the release of such scamps? is a query which will probably be suggested to tho mind of every good citizen. A Sensation story has beon started de tailing a bargain which it is asserted was made between ex-Go'v. Seymour, and Mr. Greeley whereby the latter named gentle man was to be nominated by the Domocrats for the Presidency. This story Mr. Greeley not only positively denies but says it has no foundation whatever. Another equally silly story has been start ed by those opposed to Gen. Grant, to the effect that be lias made bets of large sums of money on bis election, thus holding him up to the world as a gambler. Wby cannot politicians conduct a cam paign without resorting to mean and con temptible tricks, to influence votes ? Both parties ought to be content to rely upon truth and argument, for success, audthonif beaten, they will ut least be entitled to the respect of their opponents. We do not care to be on the winning sido if victory must be won by the sacrifice of truth. t2T Not long since, from off one of the Inman steamers, there came a magnificent Cuban lady. Her patrician air was charm ing, her dress was faultless, and if she had been ft trifle less unnaturally rotund, she might have passed without suspicion. She was invited into the office of the in spectresn, and an official diagnosis made of her condition. She was found suffering from four Aguille shawls, two pol nt ap pliques, nnd retonde, or round mantle of Chantilly lace of great value. Nor was this alL Festooned upon her hoop-skirts ' were seven hundred yards of narrow lace, which careful hands passed days in un tangling. In the plaits of her dress were pinned collars of unexceptional point lace, which took no more room, when rolled, and pinned against the seams, than cocoon does against a leaf. Letter From Horaca Greeley. At the present time a letter from M. Greeley will bo of interest to all persons, whether favorable to his election or not; and his ideas on the subjoct of Reform, as set forth in the following lottor in reply to a communication from Hon. Carl Shurz, will meet with a hearty approval from nine tenths of Abe American people. New Yomk, July 5, 1872. Mv Deah Sr: Yours of the 20th ultimo only reached mo three days ago. I respond as promptly as I may. The problem of Civil Service reform is rendered difficulty by an alliance bctweon the Kxeoutive and Legislative branches of our Fedoral govern ment. Those members of Congress who favor tho administration habitually claim, and are accorded, a virtual monopoly of the Fedoral oflicesin their respect ive States or districts, dictating appointments and removals as interest orcaprice may suggost. The President appoints at their bidding, they legislate in itubservionce to his will often in opposition to their own convictions. Unless all history is unmeaning, this con fusion of executive and legislative responsi bilities and functions could not fail to dis temper and corrupt the body politic. I hold the eligibility of our Presidents to ro eloction, to bo tho main source of this cor ruption. A President should, bo above hope of fu ture favor or the for of alienating parti sans. Ho should bo tho official chief, not of a party, but of the Republic. Ho should dread nothing but the accusing voice of history, and the inexorablo judgment of God. Ho Bhould fully realize and nover forgot that Congress in its own sphere is paramount, and nowise amenable to his supervision, and that tho heartiest good will to his administration is perfectly com patible with the most pointed dissent from his inculcations in tho very gravest ques tion in finance or political economy. It is the first stop that costs. Let it be settled that a Presidont is not to. bo ro-elected while in oflice, and Civil Service reform is no longer difficult. lie will need no organs no subsidized defenders ; he will naturally select his chief counsellors from among tho ablest and wisest of his eminent fellow citi zens, regardless alike of tho shrieks of lo cality and thosuggestionsof a selfish policy. He will not have to conciliate a powerful clan to attach to bis personal fortune ; ho will be impelled to appoint (as none will deny that ho should appoint) men of ripe experience in business and eminent mer cantile capacities, to collect, keep and dis burse the revenue, instead of dexterous manipulators of primary meetings and skillful traffickers in delegates to nomina ting conventions. He will thus transform the civil service of the country from a party machine into a business establishment. No longor an aspirant to placo, the Presi dent will naturally aim to merit and secure the approbation of tho entire people, but especially of tho eminently wise and good. Horace Greeley. It Is Goodt An Auburn Democrat contributes tho following as expressive of his condition : A life-long Democrat, upon being asked if he could 1 go' for Greeley, replied that the situation reminded him of an incident that occurred in tho mines. A party of miners took up a claim and elected one of their party cook, who was to servo in that capacity until some one found fault with his cooking. In that event the fault-finder was to take his place and do the cooking himsolf. Georgo B was the first to fill the position, and everything weut on nice ly for a week or two, when Goorgo became tired and resolved to have some one find fault If possible. So one morning he mixed the dough for breakfast, putting in equal parts of flour and salt. All sat down to breakfast, and Bill J was tho first to break a biscuit. He tasted it, smelled it, and tasted it again, and said: Boys I I'll be d d if this ain't the saltest biscuit I ever got hold of but, said ho, suddenly ro memberingthe contract, 'itisgoodl' Now the Democrats are in tho same fix. Gree ley is the saltest pill they ever got hold of, but then he is good. The Public Debt. We Bee in many of the party papers, statements regarding the decrease of tho publio debt, which are calculated to create an erroneous idea In tho minds of their readers, as in these statements are present ed only a portion of the truth. Tho actual debt of tho nation was on July 1st, 1W Dec, Int. 1HT1, t3,R2.S(l,0',il,.'3 2.!MS,2fl.:7.8 Decrease In 6 years and six months l34,:Ml,(joB,SH. The amount of money paid into the treasury during the same period was Mve thoutand two hundred and utenty-three mil liont of dollars, being neatly twice the amount of the whole publio debt. This made the yearly receipt of the gov ernment nearly seven hundred and fifty millions of dollars, while the annual de crease o 1 the publio debt for the same time has bee n only about sixty-six millions; show ing the actual yearly exenses of tho nation to have been almost seven hundred millions of dollars. A Singular Disease. Berks county farmers report a singular kind of disease among the cattle. Within a few weeks a number have gone blind, some in one eye, but most of them in both eyes. One farmer has twelve bond, somo entirely blind, and others only partially so. One calf, three days old, never out of the ttablo lost Its sight. Ou some farms two, three and four are the victims of the dis ease. The nerve of the eye seems to die from within, and the eye becomes white. Horses have thus far escaped the affliction. IW Hydrophobia lately broke out In a small Texas town, and the people killed 250 dogs before their madness subsided. An Outlaw Disposed Of. Further particulars of the killing of Tom Lowery, of the Robeson co., N. C , gang of " Swamp Angels," show that it was effec ted by 8. Wishart and Robert E. Wishart, brothers of Colonel Wishart, and James M' Kay and James CampbolI--all resolute and daring young men who started out for Scufllctown, the capital of the outlaws, on Thursday night last, for the purpB0 of avenging the death of the lamented Colonel Wishart, who was so basely murdered by the gang. They arrived near Scutlletown and secreted themselves along tho road travoied by tho outlaws and inhabitants. None of the gang were seen until Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, when Tom Lowery appeared in sight on his way to Union Chapel, where political speaking was to take place that day. He was walking leisurely along tho road in company with a white man named Prevatt. Lowery was armed witlyi Spencer, rifle and three re volvers. Ho came on without suspicion un til he got opposite where tho young men were concealed, when he noticed the tracks they had made in crossing the road. Ho now Boomed suddenly to become alarmed and commenced cursing furiously. At a given signal the band in ambush discharg ed their pieces at him simultaneously. Each of the four shots took effect, and, ut tering a yell of terror and pain, Lowery plunged iuto the swamp and ran about fifty yards when he fell in the agony of death. But he did not die without trying to avenge himself. The struggle was prolonged whilo life lasted. As the young men approached him ho attompted to draw a pistol, but was too weak to do so. One hand was clutched so firmly about his gun that it was with difficulty his fingers could bo unclasped. On his body was found a gold watch, tho property of Mr. John M'Nair. - The body was immediately seized and carried on tho shoulders of tho party to the publio road, about a half milo distant, where a passing wagon was pressed into service and the body was carriod to Lumberton and deliv ered to tho sheriff. It was fully identified as that of Tom Lowery, and was delivered to his wife who was sent for by the sheriff. It was Interred by his friends at 2 o'clock on Saturday somewhere in the classic precincts of Scuf fletown. Tho same day tho sheriff paid over to the Wisharts and their companion the reward offered by the county, which was $1,000. There is also a State reward of $5,000, which they will probably soon re ceive. Stephen Lowery and Andrew Strong are the only two of the gang now remain ing, and it is thought they will meet with a similar fate. Foreign Items. tW A Scotch cote mporary has the fol lowing on the marriage of a dear friend: " He stepped upou tho hymeneal platform, adjusted the fatal noose, and was swung off into the unsilent bourno whence ho can never return save by tho doceaso of Mrs. M'Clum." tUAt Madrid three of tho would-be assassins of the King and twenty-BOvcn of their alleged accomplices have beon arres ted. Admiral Topete has warned the au thorities against dangerous demonstra tions. The escapo of the King and Queen was a narrow one. One of the horses at tached to the royal carriage received seven pistol shots. Geneva, July 23. The claims for dama ges caused by tho vessels Boston, Sallio, Jeff Davis, J ay and Music, have been dismissed by the Arbitrators. The demur rer of Great Britain concerning the other vessels is overruled. Tho case of the Flori da was concluded to-day. The decision, it is believed, awards $3,000,000 damages for her depredations. The Board took up the case of the Alabama to-day. E3T"The Manchester (Eng., )&awtier, of July 10, says: On Saturday last, while a woman residing at the Rod House, Coal port Bridge, Shropshire, was gathering wood in a neighboring coppice, one of ber children four years of age, threw a knife at his little brother, an infant about twelve months old. Tho weapon penetrated the forehead of tho child, causing alarge wound, through which on removing the knife, the brain protruded. Dr. Morgan, of Modeley, was called iu, but the poor child died the following day. The eldest child, aged seven, enraged at what had been dono to the baby, threw part of a brick at the head of tho offender, and 1 n flicted such a severe injury that it is doubt ful if this child will recover. Matamoras, July 24. General Rocha telegraphed from Monterey this afternoon that President Juarez had died on the night of the 18th Inst., from an attack of apoplexy which had seized him at S o'clock P. M. of that day, and directed that the flags of the government should be placed at half mast. The news was received by all classes with astonishment and not credited until it was confirmed by a second dispatch from Gen eral Rocha. The Presidency of the Re public will devolve upon Lerdo de Tejada, Chief Justice of tho Supreme Court, and, until recently, Secretary of Foreign Affairs in President Juarez's Cabinet ; but lately in opposition to the government, and re garded as sympathizing with the Revolu tionists, although remaining In the City of Mexico, and taking no active part with the Insurgents.
