ftrmoeratic Address
The Democrats in Congress have issued
an address. It contains nothing new,
but is simply a rehearsal of Democratic
argument Against the Republican party
It foreshadow no policy unless it can be ! placed under the protection of the mili
drawn by inference. And if a policy is j tary. The strength of the military pres
drawn from, the addross by inference, it is eut is sixty. President Keely of the
this, that everything that the Republican W. B. A , in a circular to the Trades
pnrty has done is wrong, and if wrong it Union of" the country, declares that the
ought to be changed. Give tbe Demo-j miners of the Association are in a condi-
cratic p-irty power, and it will overthrow
the present liberal policy of the govero-
The Bonier Claims.
The Committee appointed by the State
Seuate to consider the petition of five
hundred c'tizens of Cumberland Valley,
praying to be paid for property destroyed
in Southern Petins Ivania by the rebels
during the rebellim, reported last week.
The Committee refer to the 4th section
of the l'h article of the Constitution of
the Uuited States, and declare that said
section makes it obligatory upon the gen
eral government to protect each and
every tate against invasion That the
State iu response to the call of the gen
eral government sent her troops beyond
the limits of the Commonwealth, and
thereby exposed her own territory to the
rebel invaders, hence the raids of 1862,
1S63 and 1S34. Tin's failure on the part
of the Uuited States to "protect Penn
elyvauia from invasion and spoliation,
renders the general government liable for
all damages resulting from invasion."
The national government has paid some
of the miiiury claims presented by the
State. Under the act of 1SG6 five hun
dred thousand dollars were paid by the
rta!e to the Chambereburg sufferers
The Committee, ask that the other claims
amounting to two millions eight hundred
thousand dollars be also paid by the
State and that the whole then be present
ed to the general governmeut for pay
ment. Tbe Committee has reported a
bill covering claims, the payment of in
terest on them, and so forth.
"Senator White does not entirely agree
with the other four members of the Com
mittee. He holds that the claims should
tie properly adjudicated by the State, as
tbe bill provides, and that in equity the
general government should pay them ;
that the State should not interfere in the
matter beyond making the demand for
Lereiiiiens." This is the safest.

The Insurrection la Paris.
At the recent elections iu Paris not one
tenth of the voter went to the polls.
This tells forcibly that the people do not
sympathize with the insurrectionists.
The pillage of churches continues ; also
the persecution of the priests The
Prussians have agreed to stop the re
victualing of Pari. Bismarck has grant
ed to French troops the right to occupy
certain ground about Paris which was
declared by the treaty of peace neutral
ground. The inhabitants are leaving the
city by thousands. Heavy fighting takes
place frequently without much gaiu ap
parently to either the government or the
insurgents. The insurgents have issued
a tnauifesto which denounces compromise
with the government, and calls upon the
people of France to disarm the govern
ment troop. Thiers, in behalf of the
government, has issued a circular declar
ing " that the end of criminal resistance
to the government is approaching."
There is trouble among those who gov
ern Paris. There are too many J udases
and Arnolds iu the party. If matters do
not soon change, the unprincipled men
will drive out the. men of principle ; then
will Palis be a pandemonium, with all
the horrors of a hell on earth. Shocking
incidents of all kinds are numerous in tiie
city, if despatches tell the truth. The
following is the latest and most singular
one r poi ted :
Pakis, April 22 On Wednesday last,
as a child's funeral was issuing from a
side street into the Avenue del Ternes,
a'shell from Valerien fell into the midst
of the cortege and exploded The at
tendants and mourners tied, with the ex
ception of the father and mother of the
1 deceased, who threw themselves on the
ground as soon as the explosion took
! nlace. When thev arose asain it was to
, -
find tint the coffin had been struck and
the body of the child torn in pieces.
The Coal Troubles.
The Board of Arbitration to consider
the difficulties between coal operators aud
the miners, held a number of meetings
last week at Mauch Chunk. The only j
question that the arbitrators succeeded iu
in getting before the umpire. Judge El
well, was the " Control of the raiiies,"
and on this question the umpire favored
the operators. The settlement of the
question of the " resumption of mining"
i was not readied. 1 he board adjourned
'on the 19th inst. Several operators iu
! the Scrantou district have succeeded in
getting miners to resume work. The
opposition to those who have resumed
work is fearful. " Coffin notices'' were
served npon the workmen. They are
tiou verging ou starvation, and asks for .
aid. If the miners would drop the broad-
cloth and handsomely-cuffed fellows who
govern tlie Association to the rum ot tlie
miners, they would have comfortable
homes aud plenty, instead of squalidness
aud want.
KuKInx Murder.
The South Carolina, Daily Union, in
its issue of Thursday, April 20th, inst
relates the following fearful murder by
KuKlux :
On Sunday night last, the 16th, at
about midnight, a party of disguised as
sassins rode to the house of Mr Robert
Melton, at Old Store, Chesterfield Coun
ty. Mr. Melton is an elderly man, liv
ing on a little farm which be has just
bought and works hims If. He had no
oue within hearing but his wife and
daughters, in the same house.
Hearing some one at bis gate calling
his name, Mr. Melton appeared outside
his house, followed by his wife aud one
daughter. All three were immediately
shot down, without regard to age or sex.
by tbe ''high-toned' murders who await
ed their victims. Mr. Melton lies in a
dying condition, his daughter danger
ously wounded the wife and mother be
ing killed ly tbe first Bhot.
The cause of this deed is well known.
Melton is a Southerner, a Union man
and Republican. Moreover, he has been
lately engaged in collectiug delinquent
taxes.
Charlks Ukaue's latest story. A
Terrible Temptation," is published in
Eorry Saturday weeks in advance of its
arrival in this county iu any other form.
This is accomplished through the enter
prise of the house of J. R. Osgood & Co.
who in accordance with their libeial pol
icy have made an arrangement w'th the
author, for advauce sheets of the work.
Although the system they have adopted
calls for the expenditure of a considera
ble amount of money, it donbtlcss proves
profitable as well as creditable, as few
readers of Mr. Reade's story are likely
to postpone tbe perusal of its exciting
chapters longer than possible. It is, how
ever, a notable indication of tbe peculiar
popularity which Mr. Reade enjoys, that
another publishing house are issuing his
story in instalments, three weeks af'er it
has been given to the public by tbe Bos
ton house. Bottn Advertiser.

Apportionment.
The Joint Committee of the two
Hne. of the Legislature have reported
ao apportionment bilL It is believed that
the bill so re-districts the State that is,
if the Senatorial district vote a they are
counted in the bill that the next Sen
ate, after an election, will stand 16 Dem
ocrats to 17 Republicans, and the Ilouse
47 Democrats to 53 Republicans. The
Twenty-second Senatorial district com
prises the counties of Juniata, Mifflin,
Huntingdon, and Centre, making a close
district when the Republican party is at
iteelf. and always Democratic when divi
sions arise. This dictiict requires unity
of action on the part of the Republicans
if ihey wish to elect a Senater. The
counties of luniata and Miffliu frm a
district, and elect one member to the
Lower House. This puts the Republi
cans of Mifflin and Juniata completely
t
' out of the Lower R ouse of the Legisla
ture. Nothing but the most fortunate
circumstances and favors can elect a Re
publican member from this district. Here
are the district in full :

A WILD tJOOSE CHASE.
Two Conntry Girls In Search of Their lov
ers.
A couple of young ladies arrived in
the city from Johnstown on Wednesday
evening in searh of two recreant lovers.
who alledge, nfter winning their virgin
efiVclious and borrwing their spare jew
elry, decamped and, they think, came to
Pittsburg. To Alderman Donaldson, to
whom th.-y applied for assistance in fer
reting out tbe gay deceivers, they stated
that the prospective bridegrooms came
to their village a short time ago aud per
ambulated tbe streets vendinsr prize pack
ages of soap ; that by some means they
became acquainted with the pcripateic
merchants, who were fair to look upon,
possessed of ingratiating manners and a
iacile use of the tougue. An acquaint
ance ripened into intimacy and intimacy,
in a very brief period, into love. Among
the virtues of the young gentlemen nei
ther concealment nor bashfuhiess were
reckoned aud they at once declared their
passion in such moving terms as con
vinced the demoiselles of their sincerity
and they were accepted and an early day
fixed for the realization of love's young
dream That they might be near their
future lords the young ladies took rooms
in tbe same hotel and commenced vig
orous preparations in the way of clothes
making tor tbe nappy day. All went
well, the clothes were finished and
friends notified. Tbe auspicious morn
ing that was fraught with so much ot
joy or sorrow at length arrived, but, alas !
for tbe deceit of roan, the handsome ped
dlers came not with it they had van
ished. What to do the expectant brides
did not know ; the town was scoured.
but without being able to discover the
whereabouts of the to be Benedicts.
The sad conviction slowly forced itself
upon them that their young affections
had been outraged ; that they had been
robbed of their jewelry and left with an
unpaid board bill of $42 hanging over
them and not one cent whith which to
pay it, all their money having been spent
iu the purchase of wedding finery. In
default of cash the landlord seized upon
this and the poor deluded girls, denuded
of their fiue feathers, came to this city in
the hope of finding their lovers. The
kind hearted Alderman has promised to do
all that he can to aid them in their search
but will have some difficulty, even if" the
dastards are found, in compelling justice,
as tbe victims persistently refuse to make
an information. PHtslurg Gozttte.
