Up for Trade.
Read it Believe it, for it is true. Tbe
Democratic part of this Stat t p for
Wade. It wautsto trade with trie Republi
can party or with that portion tbati read
to deal. Tlio transactions in the election
fa Statu treasure last winter nave re
sulted so satisfactorily ti tlie Democracy
that it U desirous of again trading.
The great eontroling passion of that par
ly now ia lust for power, it clierislies the
hope that it can find at the meeting of
the nest Legislature a enmcM-nt number
of Republican who for a pittance will
pnt it on the high road to the gratifica
tion of that lust. The Democratic party
makes no trade in which it is the loser.
Last winter's trausactions should be proof
enough on this count, and if the Repub
licans directly concerned in it do not see
it, then bare they learued nothing by the
trade. Tbe Democrats make no con
cealment of the belinf that they gained
by helping to elect tho bolters' nominee
for 8tate Treasurer. They were highly
satisfied at the resnlt. They declare
their satisfaction in their leading papers
The Patriot recently expresses its appro.
val of the uianuer iu which Mickey,
the regular party nominee for State
Treasurer, was defeated last wiuter. It
ay : '
"Last winter Treasurer Mackey was
defeated by a union of the Democrats
nd indppeudent Republicans. Then the
Republican majority was twenty-three
votes on joint ballot. This year it has
been reduced one half. The action of
the Democrats in the last legislature in
supporting an independent Republican for
State Treasurer was heartily approved
by their constituents, and the results
were witnessed in the recent election."
A profitable trade, truly, fur tbe Dem
ocrats, by the Va'.riot't own showing.
But what have the bolting llepublicans
gained by trading ? Query, what ? The
Patriot further says :
"Some of the independent Republicans
are again elected to the Legislature, and
a like programme cou be renewed with
eqnal success."
Does that mean that a trade has al
ready been effected aud that tho meeting
of the Legislature is only necessary to
bring it to a consummation 1 Tbe Pa
triot! article as it grows in length grows
also clearer, and finally blurts clearly out
what it is to gain in the trad. Bat read
what it prints. ITere it is :
"Tln-re is another important subject
which is mixed up in this election of
State Treasurer, and th.it is the appor
tionment of representatives among the
people.
. Read that quotation over a second time,
for it tells what the Democracy expect
to gain directly by the trade. It prop.
es to help bolting Republicans to elect a
State Treasurer and for that service ex
pects and asks the bolters to assist it to ap
portion or red is trie t the State iu its inter
est If a sufficient number of trencher
ons Republicans ean be found among the
Republican Legislators, who will soon
convene at Ilarrisbarg, tbey can secure
the election of a State Treasurer over the
regular Republican nominee, by pledg
ing themselves to assist the Democratic
Legislators to redistricl the Stat in the
interest of the Democracy, and make the
6te Democratic for years to come.
Spain.
Tn wot believes that diplomatically
tbe men who are at tbe bead of tho Span
ish government had much to do with the
affairs between Prnss and France that
led to tbe present bloody war. Spanish
afiairs for a time have Wn. lost to
tbe eight of outsiders in tbe thrilling
events passing on French soil. But there
has all the while been an under-current
steadily running, of which Spanish poli
tics formed a part. It has at last come
to the surface, and the announcement has
been made that tbe Spanish throne was
tendered to the Duke of Aosta, son of
the King of Italy Victor Emanuel
and that official notice of its acceptance
Lad been received at Madrid, the seat of
tbe Spanish government. Despatches
state that this announcement at Madrid
caused unexpected excitement and oppo
sition to such a degree that a caucus of
tbe members of the Cortes was called,
and that it opposed accepting the Duke
mm King. Thus matters yet stand.
Mr. F. B. Penniman has retired from
tbe Pittsburg Gazette. ' Mr. Penniman
is one of the ablest journalists in the
State. The Gazette is on our exchange
list. We ralue it biehly. It is one of
the most valuable papers that comes to
our office, ilr. II. M. Long succeeds Mr.
Penniman.

The Prussians have two hundred guns
mounted, and ready for the bombardment.
Their capacity for throwing shells varies
from seventy-five to hundred pounds.
Bazains denies tbe charge of treachery
made against him, and says that he was
conquered by famine. By the surren
der of Bazaine the Prussians came into
possession of 541 field guns, ammunition
for between 80 and 100 batteries, 800
siepe runs. G6 mitrailleuses. 2,000 mill

Prince Frederick Charles' army is or

King William, it is said, will soon re
turn to Berlin, the government city -of
Prussia, and assume the title of Emperor
of Germany. King Y illiam, in a con

O ef
Metz, the last army of the enemy is de.
stroyed. I take this opportunity to
thank you all, from general to soldier.
Whatever future I look forward to, it is
calmly because I know that with such
soldiers victory cannot fail."
The Red Republicans are considerably
opposed to the present governing power
of France. They talk of organizing an
opposition government.
Tbe statements concerning the pro
posed armistice are so contradictory that
they cannot bo relied on.
An order for the arrest of Bazaine and
the members of his stall has been issued
by the French government. By and by
Paris must surrender. Then it will again
be in order for the Frenph government to
issue an order for the arrest of some of
the starved out Parisian geuerals.
Just as we go to press despatches de
nitely state that all thoughts of an armi
stice for the present have been abandoned.
The war goes on.
The Late 'Gun-Trap in New York.
Ten days ago an account of the shoot
ing of a burglar in New York city was
given. Repeated attempts bad been
made to effect an entrance into the store
room.,pf a gunsmith. One night, before
going out tbe owner of the store placed
gun so that when discharged tbe con
tents would be directed to a window at
which the attempts at entrance had been
made. That night a burglar pulled at
the shutter. The machinery of the gun
rap inside was pertect. 1 he gun was
discharged and the top of the burglar's
head blown off. The man who set the
trap was arrested, but was released. The
New York Herald, in speaking of the
decision of the court, says : ' '
"The Recorder's decision has put this
case in iu proper light. In ignoring tbe
erdictof the corner s jury which censur
ed Mr. Agostino, a:id thereby releasing
hat gent. email from custody, Kecoroer
Hackett pronounced the law in tbe case,
hicli, we presume, every sensible citizen
ill admit to be correct, to be that a man
has a right to protect bis property
gainst felonious attacks, whether he de
fends it by the uso of a gun in his own
ands if be happens to be on the premis
es when the burglar attempts to force an
entrance, or whether be places an instra
ment of destruction In such a manner
that it shall act, in his absence, as a
guardian to his premises. The facts in
this case show that this latter was the
mode adopted. That it produced a fa
tal effect ia, as the Recorder very proper
ly says, the result of the burglar's felo
ions act. lie meant-to rob the gun
smith's shop that is evident; but he
met Ins death in tbe felonious intent.
The Recorder's judgement, therefor, must
be sustained. It is wise and just. It is
only to be regretted that more such traps
are notlaid for burglars. Theie is nothing
so terrifying to a eowardly- criminal
and all burglars are cowards as a mys
terious and unseen danger. The circum
stance of tbe sudden death of this bur
glar will probably have more effect in
deteripg that dangerous fraternity from
the practice of their profession than all
the viglancc of the poliee- - ' '
Wendell Phillips.
"Olivia," writing to the Philadelphia
Prtu, says of Wendell Phillips in his
lecture at Washington last week ; . ''He
proved that an hour can be spent no
more instructively than in listening to sa
tire besides which Xantippe's forked
tongue sinks to the merest lullaby.
Wendel Phillips' voice penetrates the
brain like absyntbe. It arouses the sav
age which tome wise man has said lies
coiled in every civilized breast. The
truths which he utters are flung like
pieces of ragged metal, where they stick
nd fester in tbe mind. Mr.'Phillips
stands not very far from the snow line.
There is nothing especial in his face or
figure te auract attention, unless it is the
close proximity f his organ of vision,
but this can be accounted for by the fact
that he has peered so long and steadfast
ly at the imperfections of heaven and
earth that the windows of lug 0ul have
been started from their original fasten
iags." ; ,. .

', The Richmond Journal of Wednesday
week gives the full partfclars of the die
rraceful riot which took ' ple itt Nor
folk en Tuesday, by which several lives
were lost instead v of om as statea, ana
many person wounded. A Republican
meeting had been advertised for some
days to come off, and among the promt
nent gentlemen present were Secretary
Robeson, Governor Wells. Colonel Piatt,
Robert Boiling. Esq., John M. Langton,
Esq , and others. A very large gather
in? of Reriublicans was present at the
1 T
appointed hour, and everything on thei
part indicated a peaceful and pleasent
time
Governor Welle opened the ball in a
graceful speech of fifteen or twenty minu
tea length. The Govenor 'Was frequent
ly interrupted by the most indecent ques
lions' and allusions, and which were loud
ly applauded by many persons. ' -
At the conclusion of Governor W ells
remarks,' Secretary Robeson was intro
duced to the assemblage, and made
most powerful and telling speech.. He,
too. was assailed by tbe Con sera tives
with the coarsest and most brutal sallies
Tbe conduct of tbe Conserative row
dies was of the most outrageous character
throughout, and there was not the slight
est provocation for the assault which was
made upon the speakers' stand just as
Col. Boiling, of Petersburg,'- had com
menced, or was about to commence his
remarks.

revolvers into the crowd of Republicans
gathered about the stand place, and resul

over twenty establishments and tbeii
contents. Eight fire-engines were em

were afterwards completely demolished
by a large, force of laborers accompany

In the early part of the affair a mob
hurled several volleys of Stones, Brick

routed by a bayonet charge. Colonel
Broome then warned the crowd that the
troops would fire if any further violence
was offered; tbey were not again mo

by, flying, bricks, -and several revenue
officers were more or less injured during
the raid. f 're. , ; ,. , . . .

"The. War between the States, ito Catties,
Character, Cwtert aad Bcnltv"
By HOK A. H. SlBPHISi.
-The National PnbBsoing Company,
of Philadelphia, bare issued the
second and concluding volnme of thb
great work. For some than past there
has been a general feeling of apprehen
sion throughout the country that the
precarious condition of Mr. Stephens'
health would prevent his completing tbe
work, but this apprehension is now remo
ved by the fact that the book is finished
and in the hands of the Agents of tlie
Company for delivery..
This is a matter of congratulation to
the entire country.' This book munt from
its very nature, take precedence of all
Southern histories of the war. Tbe high
position held by Mr. Stephens in the
government of the Confederacy, his great
abilities as the first statesman of the
South, and his acknowledged integrity
of character,. make him perhaps the per
son best qualified to tell the story of his
cause aud its '. failure. His position as
second officer of the Confederacy enabled
bim to gain much infomation which was
inaccessible to the ordinary historian
the teeret hulory of his government is as
familiar to him as an open book ; and
his constant and intimate asociation with
tbe leader of the South, prepares him to
speak with accuracy of their motives, and
to judge their acts from a more intelli
gent standpoint than any other writer.
In the first volume of his work Mr.
Stephens confined himseif entirely to a
discussion of the causes which led to the
secession of the South. In the volume
now before us, he narrates the story of
the War, giving especial emphasis to the
action of the government of the Confed
eracy, or to what may be called its . con
fidential history. His account of tbe
important conference at Hampton. Roads
between President Lincoln and the Con
federate Commissioners, is one of the
most valuable additions to the literature
of the War, and is in itself worth the
price of the entire work. The vexed
question of the non-exchange of Prison
ers of War has much new light shed up
on it, and the peace movements in the
South are thoroughly explained. The
fact that the first volume, which was but
the introduction to the history of . War,
commanded a sale of over CO, 000 copies,
fully warrants the assertion that this - vol
ume, which is not a mere discussion of
principles, but a living, breathing narra
tive of the events of the greatest struggle
of modern times, by one or the most im
portant actors in it, will reach a sale un
precedented in this country. No fair-
minded unprejudiced person can afford
to be without this book- It is the official
history on the Southern side, and must
hold in the literature of the War even 'a
higher place than is accorded to Mr.
Greeley's American conflict. It will oc
cupy in our history the place that is
given to Napoleon's Memoirs in the liter
ature of the French Empire.. It is like
that work the last production of its gif
ted author, and is entitled to all the
weight which attaches to tbe high char
acter of a great leader presenting to the
world the ctory of his cause in vindica
tion of it. The book is sold by subscrip
tion only, and agents are wanted in every
county.

A Terrible Affair.
Intelligence from South east Missouri
gives an account of a desperate and fatal
ffray which occurred on Varner's river
on Friday last. Anderson Shepbard, an
old hunter, 65 years of age, was in his
boat on the river, when he was approach
ed by another boat containing three men,
names not given, but between whom and
Shephard an old feud existed
As soon as the boats came within good
shooting range, one of the men fired at
Shephard - and broke his right arm.
Shephard seized his rifle with his left
hand, resting on the side of his boat,
and killed his assailant. Both the others
commenced firing on him, bnt he manag-
with his teeth and left hand to load his
rifle, ; and finally : after receiving seven
bullets in the body, killed the other
two assailants. ; He then-managed to
reach the - shore, , where he was received
by . persons attracted to the rivor bank
by the firing, and taken home, where he
lies in a critical condition. . . .

gem, from the Portuguese, entitled " A
Brazilian Poem.7L'";
"Reminiscences and Speculations apro
pos, of the turning point in the King of
Prussia's Life" is a very readable sketch
of an important epoch of the life of, at
present, the roost powerful monarch of
Europe, and the probable effect of that
incident in moulding his character ; also
a glimpse of the character, socially and
otherwise, of the Prussian people, aud
tbe causes of their success in the pend
ing war.
"Dead and Born" is a plaintive melody
whose mosic still lingers pensively and
sadly in our memory.
"Fort Sumpter," by Gideon Welles, is
a chapter of facts in relation to the ex
pedition ordered by tbe administration of
President Lincoln for the relief of the
troops in that beleaguered isle such
facts as could only be given by one who
was himself behind the scenes and helped
to pull the wires. We commend it to all
who wish information concerning a mem
orable crisis of our country's history.
"Overland" a tale of love, adventure
and villiany on the Western plains, has
not abated a whit of its thrilling interest
"Nothing by Halves" a completed
novelette is up to the high standard of
literary excellence characterizing this
periodical.
" The Reality -of Medicine" though
brief, is, in our opinion, one of the best
contributions to this number. It is a
defense of the medical profession from
the imputation coutained in what the
author styles the flippant remark of Vol
taire, that "physicians pour medicines of
which they know nothing, into people of
whom they know little, for diseases of
which they know less" rather a caustic
sentiment, calculated to ''rile" an enthu
siastic disciple of Ctculapius We are
very much tempted to review this article,
giving a brief synopsis of the author's
views on tbe topics discussed, but we
desist. For want of room we pass by
tbe rest of the contents.
