The Situation.
In eighteen hundred ami n'lty ythtn
tl e leader of llie Democratic party
South raided the standard of rebellion
to break up the free svstem of govern
merit in practical operation in the Xoith
they had the hearty assurance of n ost
of the leaders of the Democracy North
tln.t their masses in the Northern statis
couhl he held in such a state that seces
rwn Ifiiglit trtnme n rrcojETiiEcrl fact-
That heing nccomtilished they expected
to ri unite the two sections in euch a
manner that the free party that had just
elected Abraham Lincoln President
rhnuld be crushed out of existence, and
t-lavery, regardless of color, or. as the
Sou hem Senates at Washington used
to put it, ' that capital ehould owu its
labor,' should become the controlling
principle or corner stone of the Govern
ment Imperfectly a the qnestion was
understood, in ita minute workings by
the people, their minds had been culti
vated enough through the free schools
and free press to understand that the
great ol ject of the Southern leaders in
rebellion was to perpetuate slavery and
slavery they knew endangered their so
cial condition aud every other condition'
indeed, their own actual individual free
dom. The condition of the Southern
" while trash " so culled was the tiue re
flex of their future condition if the ef
forts of the Southern ineu should prove a
success. Their intelligence taught them
further, namely, that if rebellion should
establish a Government, in a few yearB
the poor white people would be enslaved
with the negroes ; for reasoned they
flavery never before iu the history of
the people of the world stopped at
color wbeu it became powerfull, and it
would be unreasonable iu the face of all
the past to believe that it would stop
here at color aud ignore its past history
The mass of the Democratic party, with
this comprehensive view of the situation,
broke from '.heir leaders. Men of lhe
political school of Mr. Buchanan and
Mr. Buckalew, who expected to hold the
people iu the interests of the slave pow
er, were deserted and spurned, indeed, so
indiguant became the people when the
war was inaugurated that the prominent
men of their party, who sympathized
with rebellion, were barely safe in their
owu homes. The great leaders of the
Democracy were as powerless as children.
Their influence was entirely goua. It
was principle with the people not men,
particularly not tucu who were in sym
pathy with the people who sought to
crnsh out the coudilion of the Northern
States.
As the war for the maintenance of the
Government progressed, extravagance,
peculation and fraud exhibited their ugly
forms in numerous places. It was not
to be expected that these qualities that
are hard to keep in check iu the purest
of communities would remain inactive
amidst the turbulent tirnes of war, such
a state of society is best calculated to
develope them. The growth of corrup
tion, of all kinds, during the war, was
large and offensive to every good citizen.
Upon this corruption the fallen leaders of
the I'emocracy opened a fierce denuncia
tion which would have been all well
enough if they had alfo denounced the
first great cause, namely, the rebellion
which their Southern friends had begun
and were then with an unabated zeal
carrjingon; but they contented them
selves with denouncing that which they
expected would give them standing once
more among the people, and left untouch
ed the superior corruption aud crimes of
their co-workers in the South. These
men without a single governmental prin
ciple outside of those advocated by the
rebel Government as Richmond commen
ced to reorganize their party under the
cry of corruption and the constitution
which their party bad torn into shreds
and trampleJ under foot. The constitu
tion latterly has been abandoned and the
cry centered entirely on corrttption
That has been their battle crv. Uiider
it their old leaders seemed lo revive, and
again prominently cume before the pub
lie with such great expectations aud
plausability that certain prominent Re
publicans were induced by the political
pittance of a nomination to office and the
promises of future honors to forsake
principle and friends and join hands with
them jutt in the midst of the last great
campaign for the permanent settlement
of the principles that triumphed on the
field of battle.
As the Democratic masses comprehend
ed the situation at the inauguration of
the rebellion and forsook old and recog
nized leaders. So the Republican mass
es have in the late campaign comprehen
ded the situation and forsaken old aud
recognized leaders who endeavored to
raise again into political activity, promi
nence and honor the representatives aud
creatures of the principles that sought
the overthrow of the Government 1 be
people care nothing for men, and no cam
paign demonstrated this truth so fully as
the present one. The people of the
Northern States will not second a move
ment to place the control of the political
power cf the country into the keeping
of men who long for the restoration of
the old order of affairs, no matter how
many Greeley's, Sumner's and (.Vtiu's
join them Their power will extend no
further than their owu votes. Never, un
til the Democratic party through its Sen
ators and Representatives in the States
and National Councils, put themselves in
the recoro by unanimous resolutions that
they recognize and favor the new form
of Government and civilization as recog
nized in the new amendment of the fun
damental law of the country the con
stitution. Can they commend the confi
dence of the people T
The full official vote of th.e State has
not ret been reported As far as heard
from tlartranft's vote reaches the major
ity of 35.771. General Ilartranft's
course, as Governor will eive satisfaction
to the people who vindicated him from
the malignant charges of his political
euernies, and prove to the world that he
is the honorable man that his frieuds
have always declared him to be.
Tun entire Republican ticket, as was
first announced, has not been elected in
Indiana. The Legislature and Senate
are Republican, which insures the elec
tion of a United States Senator. There
is a gain of two Republican Congress
men, making the majority Republican.
The Governor elect is a democrat.
Wit. II. SfcWAKD, Secretary of State
under Mr. Lincoln, died at his lesidence
at Auburn. New York, on the afternoon
of the lOih inst., from the effects of a
cold that he tok some days previous.
TlIB entire Congressional delegation
from Pennsylvania is Republican, with
the exception of 6 Democrats.
IIartrant'S majority in Philadelphia
was 20.437.
Ohio is largely Republican
It has remained for a journalist of
France to iuform the world that the
Geneva Tribunal means nothing in the
world's history, and that the peaceful
settlement of the grave differences which
so long estranged the two great
English speaking nations has no more
bearing on modern history than would
a pretty insurrection in Algiers or a
change in the Roumanian ministry.
That a Frenchman should see no good in
peaceful international arbitration is natural
enough. To the Gallic mind there are
no more potent and better arbiters than
chessepols and mitrailleuses, even with
an occasional Water loo aud Sedan to in
terfere But the world is growing in
wisdom none the less. Gr at Britain and
the United Stats are leading the vau ol
progress, France remains behind to toy
with her uniforms and elaborate cannons
great things iu the past, when a Na
poleon made war and glory all but synon
ymous terms. But that day has gone by,
aud the good work done at Geneva is a
bright harbinger of that happy time, not
far distant, let us hope, when nations
shall not war any more. PhilaMphia

A number of gentlemen, representing
a large amount of Englieh capital, are in
this country, with the view of satisfying
themselves of the capacity of the United
States with reference to a future supply
of iron. The conviction abroad that the
world will ultimately have to look to us
is said to be a growing one and it is
known that a few of the more penetrating
English capitalists aud manufacturers
are even shaping their course accordingly
Pittsburgh will shortly be visited by
some of them.
A school has been established in Lon
don, England, where the blind arc train
ed to support thimselves as tuners, teach
ers of music, and organists. In Paris,
piano-tuning has long been considered the
best business which the blind can follow.
About thirty percent of the male puiU
obtain their diplomas as tuners, aud these
average about S500 a yt ar quite a re
spectable iucotne in France.
One of the largest chains ever manu
factured in this country is to be made at
the Massachusetts State Prison It will
be made of iron two and a quarter inches

A Fiendish Crime.
AS B!rrAALLSLM SCHM1 Of VILLA I5T.
The attempt, enly partially successful,
to wreck the Cincinnati express train,
that left this city on Monday evening,
September 30th, for Philadelphia, bas
been investigated by Coroner's inquest,
and a scheme of villainy revealed that is
almost unparalleled in the annals of
crime. The scene of the affair was an
embaukment sixty feet high near Steam
boat station, twenty three miles from
Philadelphia, on the short turn of a
curve. The bolts holding the rails to
the ties had been drawn, aud the rails
forced apart by bending until tbey were
six inches out of guage, and a gap of
nineteen inches existed between the ends.
The rail- was then wedged np so that the
wheel would strike the end with full
force, throw the train from the track, ,
and send it whirling down the embank
ment. The plan seems to have been de
liberately devised and executed. Such
was the condition of the track, when at
halt-past two o'clock Tuesday morning,
the Cincinnati express came along at the
rate of twenty-five or thirty miles an
hour. The rest of the story is told by a
reporter as follows :
" When right on the sharp curve, the
train gave an upward leap, instantly fol
lowed by the sudden check from the air
brake, that showed Samuel Keller, the
engineer, and Philip Cliue, the fireman
were on the alert and wide awake. After
discoveries showed that while their
promptness saved the train and lives of
sixty-four passengers, it had not availed
to save toeir own. tin train came to a
sudden stop, and the affrighted passen
gers, starting for the doors, were quieted
by t onrluctor atackuouse saying. ine
danger is over, whatever it is. A visit
to the front of the train and the eyes saw
for the moment nothing but darkness
ahead, neither engine er express cars be
ing visible; but from the depths of a
ravine in some places one hundred feet
below the level of the road, but at that
particular spot fixty feet, a tongue of
flame and the hissing of escaping steam
added to the horrors of the scene. The
engine, had gone down the ravine and
struck a large tree near the upper edge,
severing it around and giving a swing to
the two express cars behind it that
snapped the coupling of the passenger
cars, and left them with their precious
freight safe, but standing ou the very
brink of destruction. All the small
trees ou the embankment were swept
away by the shock. Nothing could be
seen of the engineer and fireman, but
search brought them to view crushed
beneath the debris of the wrecked en
gine. 1 hey were carefully removed.
Keller (with every bone iu bis body
broken; from beneath the track; Cline,
eadless and terribly mangled, from un
derneath the grate-bars of the online.
I'l.- - pi ecautione
to prevent a collision from east or west
bound trains, examined the locality, and
were horrified at the deliberate attempt
made to send into eternity unprepared a
train load of passengers, whose thoughts
were ouly of home and kindred."
The tools used by the desperate vil
lains were found near the misplaced rail.
The verdict of the coroner's jury declares
that the accident was the result of a
criminal design on the part of some par
ties, to them unknown, to throw the
tiain from the track, the rails being
forced apart and blocked up so as to
render it inevitable.
What is remarkable about the affair is
that a watchman passed over the curve
only a few momeuts before the train was
due, and found everything correct. It is
to be hoped the railroad company will
exhaust every resource in their power to
discover the murderous villains, and send
them to the gallows they so richly merit.

crime which was inadequately noticed by
the telegraph :
A short time before snndown yester
day, Mr. Church White, the treasurer of
the Kxposition Association, had visited
the Twelfth Street gale and taken away
the recriptsof the aft"i noon, amounting
to about S12 000, at that gate. There
was left iu the till 973, and this was the
sum the rubbers realized.
.About half an hour after Mr White
weut away with the hulk of the receipts,
the three men rode up from the din ct ion
of Twelfth street, i hey were disgui.-ted
with pieces of checked cloth drawn over
their inreheads and below their eyes
At the time of their arrival an unin
tertnittent stream of carriages and pedes

box. stood on the counter nearly in frout
of the arched window through which the
tickets were sold.
The desperado reached through the
window, and, seizing the box attempted
to make off. Mean bile his confederates j

at bay with 'heir drawn navy revolvers, j
threatening instant death to the first man
