When the question of the-adoption of
theabove.,resolntion,pitite•upfor
we entered into the discussion.in
don to it with several others, and record
ed our vote against it, and the following,
in part are the reasons. As to that part
which "recognizes the binding obligation
of all the provisions, of the Constitution
of the United States as they now existf
we have not • the slightest objection, yet
we consider it useless to reitolve upon an
axiom, for it is one of the Oldest, purest,
and alway has been ,tho most binding. of
Democratic principles to peacefully sub=
mit to-the powers that be, until by the
action of the people at the ballot-box,
they, cdn he constitutionally changed,
however adverse or obnoxious such au
thority may be..lt. was for such principles
that our Meelellans, Hancocks, McCand
less, Coopers and a host of others periled
their lives upon the bloody field of bat
tle, and to repel that undemocratic, and
under existing bayonet and Ku-Klux
laws, Radical doctrine, which attempted
redress by force of arms for wrongs that
an appeal to the ballot-box alone should
have settled. It was in tkrAnep of .._ thou.
purely Democratic principles that caused
Democratic blood to dow, from Port
Sumpter to Richmond, and we say that it
needs no resolution to establish this fun
damental doctrine of Democracy. To
the last clause which says "and we depre
cate the discussion of issues„ which have
ben settled in the manner and by the
authority constitutionally appointed" we
demur. The only construction that can
be placed upon it is, that we adopt the
15th Amendment, and will not in future
discuss the fraudulent manner in which
it. was obtained, or oppose Federal -inter
ference in our State elections. In doing'
this we do not array ourselves against the
Constitution or the laws, but 'no •resolu-
Con ; or platform adopted by a few dele
gates, fur personal reasons best known to
themselves, without any consultation of
the masses of the party, will be consid
ered of sufficient binding force to debar
us from holding np before the people the
infamous action of the Radical party, in
ignoring the safe-guards of republican
government, and by fraud and military
power forcing upon us an amendment
which to day is obnoxious to two-thirds
of the freemen of this nation. The man
ner alone in which this was brought
about, although it is but one, of manyde
' basing acts, islinflicient of
,itself to doom
the Radical party to .
If there are would be leaders in • the
tremocratic party, who are so -ambitions
of power that they cannot wait to be roll
cdgloriously and triumphantly in upon the
time honored principles of pure Democ
racy, -bet must stultify themselves by
stooping to 'Radical taclics and cocinetting
with negroes, the sooner they unite with
the Grows, the Gearys, the Grants, and
all other renegades, the quicker they will
find their affinities. The veteran rank
and file who hare battled fora the right
and been martyrs to their principles ix)
days gone by, are not to be betrayed by
any - such dogma. The cry -of "dead is
sues' is a Radical - measure and if the
Democratic party adopt it the result will
be that the most completely. DEAD. ISSUES

The PITTSTON DISASTER.
, A thorough inveitigution has been in
stjtuted,liy.the coroner into the disaster
at the West Pittston Mine, worked by
Illake & Co. The kir? after deliberating
a-iersit lions, returned the following, rer
diet ,
We;_the undersigned jnrors of the coro
ner's inquest,upou the bodies of John
Burroughs, Benjamin Jones, David Ed,
Wards and-others,. being duly sworn .and
obligated have agreed that the cause of
death, of : the above mentioned persons
was from the effects of impure air caused
by-improper ventilation in the West Pitt
stun Mine,-operated by Blake & Co., and
from the inhalation of carbonic gas, the
result of the conflagation . of the breaker
over the_head of-.the shaft . of Said mine:
that when the - breaker took fire there
were no menus fur supplying the Dien
with fresh air, and they were subjected to
the influences of the foul air and poison
ous gasses.
The air in the mine continued its nat
ural
courses from ten to twenty minutes,
when neither freSh air came into the mine
nor foul air was expelled, and smoke and
carbonic acid gas were forced through the ,
shaft into the gangways and breasts; that
the fire was communicated to the breaker
fromthe friction of one of the journals
of the fan in the breaker above the engine
room 9- -knob Mahe , E 0 O. took charge of i
the West, Pittston mine on or about Jan-1
nary'l,,lB7l ; and, furthermore, there is
but one air passage for fresh air to descend
to the mine, and but one passage for the
escape . of gas and obnoxious air; and that 1
the said down-cast and up-cast passages
for fresh air and foul air were through a
shalt of two hundred and eighty feet in
depth, having its nutlet directly under the
breaker, and that uo work was in progress
at the time of the file upon any contem
plated
second shaft, tunnel, slope, ur any
other construction above or below grounu, .
for the supply of fresh air to the mine;
and further, that repeated attempts to im
prove the qnantity and quality of the air
were 'made by the said Blake & Co., and
that each and every one of the successive
attempts were inadequate fur the purpose
of proper ventilation, as required by law
in an act entitled "An.act providing for
the health and safety of persons employed
in coal mines. sections 3 and 7, approved
March 30, 1870."
Furthermore, there was negligence on
the part of the employees of the compa
ny in not keeping the journals of the fan
properly oiled. - Furthermore, that Blake
& Co. were working in the mine at one
shaft and at one time more than twenty
men, and that upon Saturday May 27,1871.
the said Blake & Co. had in their employ,
and engaged in mining and producing
coal upon one shaft, and at one time in
the mine, not less than forty-three persons,
in violation of the act of the Legislature
of the said State, hereinbefore referred to,
entitled " An act to provide for the health
and safety of persons employed in coal
mines." And, furthermore, that Thomas
Williams, Mining Inspector for the dis
trict in wdich the said shaft of Blake &
Co. is situated, since the Ist day of Jan
uary,„l.B7l, visited the, mine at least twice,
the
,last time lieiug ednesday, May 24.
18;1, and that he has gone through the ,
mines and inspected the operations of the
said Blake & Co. in producing coal in the
stid.mine, and the said Thomas M. Wu- (
liatns suggesW no improvements in the I
ventilation of the mine.
And, furthermore, that the said Thom
as M. Williams was aware of the violation
of the laws of the State iu reference to
the ventilation or the'miners in the an

An Earthquake In China.
Wasnrsoxolr, June 4.—Minister Lowe
has forwarded to Secretary Fish a report
of an "earthquake which cCenrred in
thong, in the province of Szechuen.
About - 4 o'clock a. nW l on April 11 , ,'
1870, the qiiith ttrembled `R:t violently th . at
the Cloverninent'offieds; teinples,"granvii
ries, stone and store houses, and fortifica
tions, with all the common dwellings and
the temple of Ting-lin, were at once over
thrown and rained. The ,only exception
was the hall in those temple grounds call
ed Ta-chao, which,stGod uohartned_in its
isolation.
A few of the troopi and people escaped,
bat most of the inmates were crashed and
killed under the failing timber and stone.
Flames also suddetily`burst out in four
places, which strong winds. drove About
until' the beaten§ were; &Ababa With
smoke, and their 'roaring 'lrak mingled
with the lamentations of the distressed
people.
On the Ilith the flames were beaten
down, but therutnbling tiohiesi were still
heard underground like distant thunder,
and the earth rocked and rolled like a
ship in a stormlat the mercy of the waves.
The multiplied miseries of the afflicted
inhabitants were increased by a thousand
fears, but in AMA ten days-matters begin
to grow quiet and .the motion cease.
The grain collector at Bathong
that for several days before the earthquake
the water had overflowed the dyke ; but
after it the earth cracked in many pieces,
and black, fetid water spurted out in a
furious manner. If one poked it, the
sporting instantly followed, just as is the
I case with the salt wells and lire wells in
the eastern part of the province; and this
explains how it lisppened that lire follow
ed the earthquake in IlethoGg.
Aa nearly us is ascertained, there were
destroyed two large temples, the offices of
the collectors of grain tax, the local tang
istratr, and the colonel, the Ting-lin tem.
ple, and nearly seven hundred fathoms of
wall around . it, and 351 rooms in all inside
it. ;. six small temples, numbering ,221
rooms, besides 1,849 rooms and homes of
the common people. The number of
i people, soldiers, and llamas killed by the
t crash was 2,298, among whom were the
I local magistrate and his second in office.
The earthquake es tended over four bun
t Bred miles. It occurred simultaneously over
the whole of this region. In some places
Izteep hills split and sunk.: into deep pits
lin others. hills on level spots became pre
eipit oils cliffs, and the roads and high
ways were rendered impassable by ob
structions.
The.people were scattered and beggared
like autumn leaves; and this calamity to
the people of %thong and vicinity was
really one of the most distressing and de
structive that has happened.
Forrester.
Forrester, the suspected Nathan mur
derer, continues to sustain his reputation
as the "I;iist hider iii the world." The
following instance of his daring is rela
ted : "A few months . since a number of
his friends were confined in one of the
stoutest jails In Nvw York State. The
crime which they were in for was certain
to give each( a long sentence, and their
friends used every endeavor to get them
Out, without avail, until Forrester took
the matter in hand. One dark night he
went to the jail, and climbing over
foot wall, gut to the inside dour. Picking
the luck of it. with a tool used fur that
purpose, lie owed into another room
where he 114111111 m lytngua a cot
asleep. Going up to hurt Forrester very
adroitly abstracted the keys from his belt,
and proceeded directly to the mil, un
locking the door and liberated his friends,
three in number—all making their escape
without being seen. After getting his
friends out 1 arrester locked the cell doors,
and going back where thr jailer was lying,
coolly replaced the keys in his belt, and
going out through the same door, locked
it with the sauce instrument with which
he hind effected an entrance." Many oth
er instances of his daring are related, but
this will give an idea of the kind of a
man he is—one who talas desperute chan

e School Book Law.
The bill "to revent frequent changes an
school - books,' introduced in the senate
and championed by Senator Petrikin, of
Huntingdon, passed both branches of the
legislature, and is nOW alaw. The pur
pose of this law Is certainly a good one.
It is estimated that during the last decade
the people or the state have beon taxed at
the rate of two millions and a half dol
laaper. annum, in the purchase of school
boas. This immense burden was put up
on thein through the venality or weakness
of .directors and county superintendents,
who ordered Changes in books froin year
to year. This bill will relieve the people
from an expense that is at the same time
onerous and useless. It provides as fol
lows:
,Ssariox 1. That hereafter the board of
directors of towns and district, the con trol
lers in cities and boroughs, or any school
superintendent, shall not order or direct
or make any change in the school books

The following "rules of the road" are based
upon legal decisions, and ought to be universal
ly known. The courts have decided that ap
plicons for tickets on milt oads can be ejected
if they do not offer the exact amount of (heir
tire. Conductors arc not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until used, con
ditions "good for thi4 day only" or ollserwise
admitting Mug of omuineness,are of no account.
Passengers who lase their tickets can be eject
ed from the cars unless they purchase a second
one. Passengers are bound to observe decorum
in the cars, and are oblige 4 to comply with all
reasonable demands to show their tickets.
Standing on the platform, or otherwise violat
ing the ruler of the company, renders a person
liable to be put froth the train. No person has
a right to monopolize more seats than he has
paid for and any article left in the seat while
the on nee is temporarily absent entitles him to
his seat on his return.
