The Democracy In rkesler Cennty Wket
the Democracy was less than One Tear
A go -No Objection to the Chanee, if It
be an Honcat One.
Jhe clung of base that the Democ
racy lately made bas not been received
with the unanimity that the leaders of
the tiw d-.-parture d wired. The Demo
cratic Committee in Cheater county open
ly repitdi:tts the platform, and earnestly
call m the party to stand by the old
land m urks aud the resolution of the
Demwttic National Convention that
met iu Now York in 1S6S, and the reso
lution passed by the Pennsylvania State
"Convention in 1863 on the negro ques
tion. The latter rt solution, paesed by
the State Convention, is the third, and
reads as follow :
FctofreJ, That the Temocratio part? of
rennejlvania in opposed to conferring upon
tbe negro the right to toic ; and we do em
phatic, deny that there ia any right or
power in Congress or eWewbere to impose
neprs n.ffrape uyon the people of this Slate
in opponitiou to their will.
Tbe ense of the Committee is further
given in a series of nine resolution., that

It is not a year since the Democracy
of Juniata was fierce in its advocacy of
the 'White Man's Party." Ou the 8tli
of last August the County Convention of
that party met and unanimously paesed
the following resolution, which was the
third -.
R. talrtJ. That to the White Races of Amer
ica beloupa the future of America, that to
the wisduui of White Men we owe our free
institutions, and that by tbem they must be
Dainuibtd, and that we intite all White
lien who are opposed to sharing with negroes
tbe political power of our country to unite
with as in a common effort for our blood and
kindred.
Thus the " white man's party" in this 1
connty less than one year ago resolved. '
In the it sue of the Register following the
one in which the proceedings of the con-!
ention was published, that paper said :
Firm all parts of the county comes the
cheering news that the Democracy are a
unit upon the Democratic or white man's
ticket 'of this county. It has been de
termined and decreed that tbe negroized
and negro suffrage party shall have no
foothold within the limits of Juniata
couuty. Let every Democrat pull off his
coat and go to work at once for the white
man's ticket" And so on through the
whole campaign the Register burdened
and worried itself in advocating tbe
cause of the white man's party. It don't
talk so now, though. It bas taken the
new departure, and dropped the white
man's party.
No objection can be urged to the
change, or new departure, if it is honest
ly made. Tbe Republican party can
congratulate itself that some of its vital
principles have been adopted by its po
litical opponents. The lost cao.e sla
very or the doctrine that capital should
own its labor, is dead, and the great por
tion of the Democratic party north says
Amen.
The Pennsylvania Editorial Associa
tion met at Williarasport last week. All
tbe reports lrom there represent it as a
most pleasant and profitable meeting.
The Stale Democratic Kditorial Asso
ciation met at Bellefonte about the same
time, and transacted its business, after
which a number of its members went
over to Willumsport and joined in tbe
enjoyable excursions in which the State
Association was indulging.
The professions of the departed Dem
ocracy should be taken with a good deal
of allowance They may be, and they
ay not be honest. A good test to try
them on will be the Legislative ticket.
Tbey will stick to that as a leach sticks
Co a blood-vessel. They hope to carry
tbe Legislature this coming fall.
Thb Pennsylvania State Medical So
ciety held iu sessions at Williamsport
last week. Tbe notorious rule against
women physicians, after an animated dis
cussion and a determined opposition, was
rescinded yeas, 50 ; nays, 40.
Lart week tbe Iowa Democratic State
Convention met and accepted the " ner
departnre." The old liners fought it, bnt
were not strong enough to prevent iu

Cteoaent L. Vallaudigbam accidentally
bet himself on tha evening; ef tha 16th
met., at Lebanoa, Ohio, where be was
eeaged as counsel for a maa named
T bo mas McGhehan, who was on trial for
the) marder of a man named Myers Ho!,
by shooting bim with a pistol. It ap
pears that "Mr. Vallandigham, with his
associate counsel, had been out on Friday
evening experimenting, with a view of
ascertaining how near the muzzle of a
pistol could be beld to cloth without burn
ing it. The test was made, and they
were returning, two balls having been
fired from the pistol. H is associate coun
sel arged bim to discbarge the remaining
three balls, but Vallandigham said, "No,
never mind !" and though the associate
repeated tbe snggestion, Vallandigham
declined to discharge tbem, and took the
pistol ap stairs and laid it beside an
empty one, which be intended to use iu
tbe argument on Saturday. This led to
tbe tragedy which soon followed.
No one was present in the room when
tbe accident occurred but ex-Governor
McBurney, who was also an associate
eonnsel in the case Vallandigham ad
vanced tbe theory that Myers bad shot
himself. McBurney expressed some
doubts as totbe correctness of this theory.
Vallandigham picked np a pistol from the
table, saying be would show bim in a
second. Two pistols were on the table,
one unloaded, aud he by mistake took np
the loaded one and put it in bis pocket
and withdrew, keeping the muzzle next
his body. Just as it was leaving his
pocket it was discharged, it is reported,
at cearly the same part of tbe body
where Myers was shot. He ejaculated,
"Oh. murder,' and said he has taken tbe
wrong pistol. The doctors searched an
bour lor the ball, but failed to find it.
While tbe examination was going on he
watched tbe surgeon with eager eyea,
and even assisted tbem in searching for
tbe ball. lie vomited often, but threw
up no blood. He sank rapidly, and on
Saturday morning, at 9:42 be died. His
funeral took place yesterday (Tuesday)
afternoon, under direction of tbe Masons
"Clement L. Vallandigham was in his
forty -ninth year. He was sprung from
Huguenot stock, and was a native of
New Lisbon, Columbia county, Ohio.
lie was a student of Jefferson College
j on leav,nS wh,ch he dertk uti
of f Academy of Snowhill.
i Md- On returning to Ohio be studied
j for two years, and was admitted to the
bar of his native State in 1643. In 1845
and 1346 he was elected to the Ohio
I Legislature. In 1S47 he edited the Day-
J
ton ,mpire, and subsequently devoted
himself to politics and his profession
with great vigor and respectable success.
From State politics he passed in 1856 to
a more extended field, being iu that mem
orable year, when Buchanaa was elected
President, sent to Washington as a mem
ber of tbe House of Representatives from
bis district, and he served on the Stand
ing Committee on Territories during the
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Congresses,
lie was re-elected to the Thirty-seventh
Congress, and became prominent as well
as notorious because of his eager and
bold defence of tbe rebels and ntter de
fiance of the Government of tbe United
States.
"In personal appearance Mr. Vallan
digham was not unprepossessing. He was
about five feet eight inches high, with a
keen, datk eye, slightly curling hair,
with florid complexion, and wearing a
moustache and whiskers. He was a
clever political manager, a keen debater,
and an orator capable of moving intense
ly a popular audience. His personal
friends were many and warm in their
affection for him ; bis political foes were
no fewer, or correspondingly less bitter
in their detestation of bis principles and
policy, and even in his own party be bad
not the fortune of satisfying all of tbo
prudence of his course."
Jambs Fisk, Jr., of whom everybody
bas beard, is Colonel of the Ninth New
York Regiment. Last week tbe regi

bead, visited Boston. The Colonel was
desirous of promenading his regiment
thronght the streets of that city while
going to and from preaching, last Sab
bath, but the staid Boetonians protested,
and induced tbe Mayor to say "no to
Colonel Fisk : and the sensation of a
military procession to church was not en

The Legislature of New Hampshire is
growing in patriotism. For instance,
last week member offered a resolution
in that body, that Congress should pur
chase Independence Hall and Square,
and dedicate them to " Constitnttonal
Liberty" on the one hundredth anniver
sary day of American Independence,
which will be the 4th of July, 1876.
In tbe year 1865 tbe lake of Xeueie
del, near Oldenburg, Hungary was dried
up, and its bed converted into arable land.
Last winter tbe water began to reappear,
and the basin is now nearly refilled, to
the dismay of the farmers. Existing
documents show that a similar event has
taken place before.

The latest and greatest sensation story
from California It tells of a
maa who was mmrderered because he was
ecqaaialed with a chemical coin pound that
weald mnlooea tbe eonstitnent gaeses of
water, and consume tbem by fire, and
threatened to set tbe Pacifit ocean on fire
nnlees a million of dollars was given him.
Tbe story most likely is the invention of
a chemist given to literary pursuits.
An exchanges condenses tbe story as
follows:
Some time ago a man named Gregory
Sammerfield was murdered by being
pushed from the platform of a car on tbe
Oniou Pacific railroad at Cape Horn,
and falling down a thousand feet on the
rocks below. Summerfield .was a man
of extraordinary literary and scientific
attainments, and was always known be
fore his death as "the man with the se
crete." The only person on tbe plat
form with bim whea he was thrust down
tbe precipice was Leonidas Parker, a
Sacramento lawyer of talent and good
reputation. He was twice tried for the
murder, and each time mysteriously ac
quitted. Recently he died, bnt left be
hind him an explanation of the whole
transaction. A short time before Sum.
merfield's death be came into Parker's
office that being his first appearance in
San Francisco for a number of years,
and told him that be bad fathomed tbe
mighty secret of making water barn ' by
meant of a preparation of potassium,
which would separate the particle aud
ignite the liberated oxygen, thus creat
ing and recreating its own force, and pro
ceeding until all the particles were de
stroyed. Possessed of this terrible power, he
demanded 11,000,000 to be raised in
San Francisco, or,he would set the Pa
cific ocean on fire, and let the world take
the consequences Parker thought him
self dealing with a lunatic, and treated the
matter disdainfully, but offered to try
one of bis potassium pills in a washbowl
of water, which it skipped and hissed
around as it always does, and seemed
about to expire, when a sharp explosion
took place, and to his surprise, the liquid
blazed iu lurid flames to the ceiling un
til every drop was consumed. Deeming I .
this worth considering, he imparted the
discovery with Summerfield's condition,
to a leading banker, a bishop, a chemist,
two Slate university professors, a physi
cian, a judge, and two protectant divuu-s,
who, with himself, witnessed tbe experi
ment on a grand scale in a mountain
lake teu miles from San Francisco. In
fifteen minutes every drop of water in
tbe pool was consumed, and the com
mittee became alarmed, while Summer
field became importunate. Ouly a half
million could be raised at Sau Francisco,
and something must be done or the Pa
cific ocean would roll billows of flame
instead of water. It was proposed to
attempt subscriptions iu New York,
wbeu the bishop rose and said that ail
that was child's play, that nothing would
satisfy the wretch, and extermination
was under the cirenmstauces, justifiable.
All coincided, aud Parker, who kut. w the
gorges and windings of the Pacific road,
was chosen as humanity's avenirin?
angel. In tbe conclusion of his docu
ment be says : "I selected Cape Horn as
tbe best adapted to the purpose, and
tbe public know tbe rest. Having been
fully acquitted by two tribunals of the
law, I make this final appeal to my
fellow-men throughout the Stale, and
i . . . .. ,
asaing toera connaenur not to reverse
the judgment already pronounced."
The triumphal entry of the German
Army into Berlin took place on the 16th
inst. People had been crowding into tbe
city for two weeks to witness tbe pro
cession, which a dispatch says was one
of tbe most magnificent of modern times,

line enormous trophies, formed of cap
tured arms were erected.
Some of tbe classes of the Harvard
School meet in tbe upper story of tbe
City Hall, Charlestown, Mass. One of
the female pupils on Friday last tripped in
the stair matting on the landing of the
second story and fell over the railing, tbe
distance to the marble floor beneath be
ing twenty feet. Happily, tbe city mar
shal was passing through the hall at the
moment and the young lady fell upon
him. At last accounts she lay in a stu
por ; but as no bones were broken tbe
probabilities are that sbe will recover.
The marshal sustained no serious injury.
C'lafliiv & Wooduull, the noted
women brokers, bare instituted a libel
suit against Henry Ward Beecher and
the publishers of the Christian Union,
laying tbeir damages at $250,000. Tbe
ground of action is tbe publication in the
Christian Union, of which Mr. Beecher
is editor, of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe'e
new novel, "My wife and I," in which
appeared two female characters, which it
is alleged are intended to represent Mrs.
Woodbulland Mrslaflin.
A few days since, a promising son of
Mr. James Brian, who lives in Wake
connty, N C, in eompaay with a young
colored man, visited Mr Bancom's mill
pond near by, to bathe. Soon young
Brian was in deep water, ever bis head,
and being enable to swim, sank immedi
ately, whea the young eolered man
jumped ia to his rescue, succeeded in
bringing bim safe to the shore, and ia the
effort sank bock into tbo water and was
drowsed.

A Paris correspondent of tbe LWon
Timi wrote the toUowiag oa May XStb :
I took a walkdow tketao J&roli.
toward tha Hotel do Ville. to jsrfjge of
tbo asaoaat of damage doae, aad at the
corner of the Rao Cawtigliaae became
aware of the approach of a great crowd
of people yelling and shaking their
fusts. .The cortege was beaded by a
company of mounted gend' armes, be
hiad whom came two artileryaiea drag
ging between them a soiled bundle of
rags that tottered aud struggled, and fell
down under the blows that were shower
ed upon it by all who were within reach.
It was a woman, who had been caught
in the act of spreading petroleum. Her
face was bleeding, and her hair stream
ing down her back, from which her cloth
ing had been torn. On they dragged
her, followed by a hooting mob, till they
reached tbe corner of the Louvre, and
there they propped her up against a wall
already half dead from tbe treatment sbe
had received. Tbe crowd ranged itself
in a circle, and I have never seen a pic
ture more perfect and complete in its de
tails than was presented, by that scene.
The gasping, shrinking figure in the cen
ter, surrounded by a crowd who could
scarce be kept from tearing ber to pieces,
wbo waved tbeir arms, crying "drown
ber! drown ber!" on one side a barri,
cade, still strewn . with broken guns and
bats a dead National Guard lying in
the fosse behind a group of mounted
gendarmens, and then a perpective of
ruined streets and blackened bouses, cul
minating in the extreme distant in the
still burning Hotel de Ville. Presently
two revolvers were discharged, and the
bundle of rags fell forward in a pool of
blood. The popular tbist for vengeance
was satisfied, aud so .the crowd dispersed
in search of further excitement elsewhere.
There was one group defiling down the
Rue de la Paix that was of a peculiar
interest, calling down a greater, amount
of corses and hisses than usually accom
panies tbeir progress. It consisted of
some 20 or 30 girls, well-dressed and
pretty, shop woman of a sewing machine
establishment, who were accused of hav
ing inveigled a company of soldiers with
iu tbeir doors, and after dallying with
tbem like Judiths, of having poisoned
trm all in wine. Tbe young ladies
fyrd along surrounded by a cordon of
sards, smiling on the crowd that was
i xcrrcatiug them, and marching gaily to
tbe Place Vendome, where they probably
were shot. The woman of Paris bave
appeared late npon the scene, but their
appearance was inevitable. Many have
been killed on barricades, some in open
street combat, but their special work has
been the organization of the system of
fires, which bas, fortunately, answered
but too well. Three hundred women,
dressed in National Guard unform, bave
been taken down the Seine in bcjts, and
it is said that many of the sham sailors
who defended the Rue Royale so bravely
were women in disguise. Near tbe Pare
Monceru a melancholy episode occurred
A husband and wife were seized and or
dered to march forward toward the Place
Vendome, a distance of a mile and
half, They were both of them invalids,
and unable to walk so far. The woman
sat down dn tbe curbstone and decliued
to move a step, iu spite of ber husband's
entreaties that she wonld try. , Sbe per
sisted in her refusal, and they both kuelt
down together, begging the gendarmes
who accompanied them to shoot tbem at
once, if shot they wete to be. Twenty
revolvers were fired, but tbey still breath
ed, and it was only at tbe second dis
charge that they finally sink down dead
The gendarmes tbea rode away, leaving
the bodies as they had fallen.
A Child Found. On Wednesday
night of last week, tbe family of Daniel
P. Conrad, residing ou tbe Plum creek
road in Lower Augusta township, were
awakened about 12 o'clock, by tbe cry
ing of an infant child. Tbey proceeded
to the yard and fonnd a female child
about a week old, in a nail keg bung
opon the grape arbor. They aroused
... .
some oi weir neignoors, wben w was
taken down and properly cared for.
The child appeared stupified and is sup
posed to have been drugged. On Satur
day morning it died from the effects of
exposure and drugs, and was bnried on
the next day by the overseers of the
township. No clue bas yet been found
as to tbe inhuman mother wbo thus de
serted ber child, forsaking and exposing
it an hour when it was almost certain
that the cold atmsopbere of night wonld
deprive it of life. It is hoped that the
guilty party will yet be found out . and
made to suffer for this brutish act. Sun

The vignette on the left corner has the

The Somerset Herald says: David
Williams was on Friday committed to
jail, for the taking away of a red signal
flag at one of entrances to Brooks's tun
nel. This is one of tbo most criminal of
offences, as it might have resulted in the
killing of soveral hundred persons on one
of the. passenger trains, there flag being

by bearing that Mr Dennis McCarthy,
tha watchmea at tbe opea railroad bridge
across tbo Janiata river at this plaee, liad
fallen off the bridge, and was Instantly
killed. A large number of citizens went
to the scene of tbe catastrophe. It ap
pears that he had been very sick during
the day; and about 5 o'clock in tbe after
noon, while leaning over the bridge to
vomit, be becasao dizzy, lost bis equili
brium, and fell frito the middle of the
channel, near the pier, bis head striking

persons standing near, seeing him fall, at
once went to his rescue, but they found
life was extinct, his neck having been
broken. He sustained other injuries
about his body, and his right leg was
fractured.
Mr. McCarthy was about 55 years of
age, temperate, kind and good. He bas
been in the employ of the B. T. Co , as
a watchman for many years, and was
the bridge watchman since 1863. He
was a consistent and leading member of
the Catholic church for many years,

Huntingdon Globe.
Dakino Robber v. A most daring
robbery occurred at tbe residence of Mr.
Charles Gibson in Mercer county, on
Monday night of last week. Five vil
lains broke in the kitchen door with a
rail, struck Mrs. Gibson, wbo had raised
up in the bed, in t!ie face with a cudgel,
broke a bureau to pieces, and succeeded
in getting $50 in gold and about 8150 in
greenbacks, notes and valuable papers.
Iu tbeir haste tbey fortunately missed a
package of $1000. Mr. Gibson jumped
from a second story window and ran to
the nearest neighbors, where he got a
rifle. Returning just as the robbers were
leaving, he snapped tbe gun three times
at tbem, but at tbe fourth trial it was dis
charged, bnt he missed his man. They
compelled a little boy to hold a light for
them while ransacking the bureau by
threatening to kill him if he made a
noise. The descriptions given by the
boy fixes suspicion on two or three of
the party, though as yet no arrests have
been made. B- arer Radical.
The Pottstown Lrdger says that
about .a month ago John D. Fries, of
South Coventry township. Chester coun
ty, while out on Nyce's hill, saw a large
bird fly up, out from a lonely place
among the bushes. Proceeding to the
spot he discovered two eggs, of nearly
tbe size and appearance of turkey eggs,
which be picked up, brought borne aud
placed under a sitting ben. About a
week ago the eggs were hatched out and
Mr. Fries was astonished to fiud that
they were eagles. The old hen must
have teen considerably surprised, too,
for she spluttered about and tramped up
on one of ber rare progeny, and killed it.
The other is doing well, and will proba
bly grow up and do well. Ragles some
times carry off chickens, and it would be
rather a joke if this specimen would
some day gather up the old hen that
hatched it and fly away with ber.
Melancholy Occurrence. On Sat
urday evening last, Miss Mollie Rut
ledge, daughter of Alexander Rutledge,
Esq , of -Williamsburg, this connty, went
to the cellar with a coal oil lamp, and
while in the cellar let tbe lamp fall.
The fire from tbe lamp communicated
with her clothing, and by the time she
got up stairs, the fire was blazing above
her bead. In a few moments her cloth
ing was almost entirely consumed, and
the young lady horribly bnrned. Sbe
lingered nntil about 1 1 o'clock the next
day, when death ended her sufferings.
She was aged about eighteen years, and
