Poor old Montgomery Blair has broken loose again in the New York Sun, of course, where he takes exactly one column of space to tell the De mocracy that its only hope of success Is "to hoist the fighting Hag of Tilden Ism." The Kentucky Republicans would be highly pleased to see the Hon. S. W. Bowman of Lexington, in that State, in General Garfield's Cabinet. Mr. Bowman was one of the Commis sioners to arrange the difficulties with the Utes. The New York Sun believes "Gen eral Arthur's dignity, urbanity and well-known studious habits ought to fit him to vie with any of his New York predecessors in the chair of the Senate, with the possible exception of Martin Van Buren." General Garfield's certificate of election as Senator from Ohio will probably be withdrawn in a few days, In order that he may return it.through the Governor, to the legislature of Ohio, together with a letter declining the office of United States Senator, for the reason that he has since being chosen to the Senate, been elected to the office of President of the United States, The Pottsvile Miner's Journal has compared the so-called synopsis of the President's message which appeared in some enterprising journals on Mon day and finds that they have very little resemblance to Ahe original docu ment, and ware more than probably only mere guess-work. The most important omission in the ''synopsis' was the absence of ary reference to the proposition tomr.ko General Grant Captain General. Of the 4,700 Republ'ean voters of Beaver County 707 had to have their taxes paid for them by the County Committee before the recent election The New Brighton Neivs thinks thii a vicious, practice and says: "As it affects both parties, let the County Committees puss a joint resolution de claring that they will in the future pay no such taxes, and firmly and unalterably stand by their action at whatever cost.1' Another editor has comeoff victori ous in a libel suit. Tt Is Mr. W. T. Croasdale of the Wilmington (Del Every Evening and Commercial. Mr, Croasdale did a good turn for bis con stituents by exposing nd attacking the improper methods of a lonal insur ance company, and the latter took the matter into court on a suit for libel, The result is a vindication of Mr, Croasdale by a jury of his countrymen ana a needed and timely lesson to questionable insurance concerns. cbmatoh mill or ueorgia was asked by a Philadelphia Pre oorres pondent if the South would continue to remain solidly Democratic. "I don't know," said Mr. Hill slowly I think she will, though," he added "but all depends on General Garfield's administration. If he treats the South with kindness and fairness he will probably rally a large support to him from among the Southern people, It is entirely too early now to predict the future political status of the South em States." A machine has been invented in California for pressing and drying potatoes so that they will keep for years, yet preserve their natural fla vor. No chemicals are used in the operation of curing, everything being done by a simple machiue capable of pressing six hundred bushels per day After the pressure they are put into a drying apparatus, where they remain for two hours, when they are ground into coarse meal resembling cracked rice. It is said that when cooked they make a very palatable dish. Barnum, the great showman, has engaged for the next season the Chi nese giant "Chaug," who it is said to be the largest man in the world. His height Is estimated at nine feet, but owing to his religion he will not per mit himself to be measured, as he be lieves he would die at once. He ar rived on Wednesday in the city of Berlin, from Europe, where he was on exhibition in nearly every city on the continent. Among his jewelry is a watch weighing two and a half pounds, and a chain attached nine feet In length, a present from Queen Victoria. A curious result of the colored ex odus has recently, it is reported, made itself visible in Louisiaua. Labor has become somewhat scarce in several parishes, and as a consequence of the increased demand thereby produced, the oolored laborers are organizing unions to secure higher wages. In some places strikes are threatened. This is more especially true of planta tion districts near New Orleans. The exodus movements, instead of decreas ing, is extending itself systematically, and many of the best class of workers are evidently preparing for migration. There is a great deal of correspondence going on as to places north where such labor may be needed.. The effort is being made by some land grant inter ests to torn a portion of this popula tion Into New Mexico and South Six Presidential Electing. N. T. Bun. The number of voters in the United States has nearly doubled In the last twenty years. Six Presidential elec tions have taken place in this memora ble cycle, beginning with the civil war, and ending with the Great Fraud and Garfield, the aggregate voles of the two extremes are as follows: Total, 1SS0 ....... ,192,MW Total IHHU ....4.678.868 Mr. Lincoln was In a large minority of the popular vote when elected in I860.

McClellan for their candidate upon a foolish plat form that the war had been a failure. The figures below make it plain that the people did not concur in that partisan opinion: 1864. Lincoln m 2,51fl,0BT McClellan.. 1,808,725 Lincoln's majority, 407,842. Unfortunately for the countrv. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated at the open ing of his second term, and he was succeeded by Andrew Johnson, who, in attempting to carry out the policy of his predecessor, quarrelled with Congress, and embittered the relations or parties. Fresh from success in closincr the re. hellion, and gathering into his own hand the laurels won by the heroism of a great army, part of which had been cruelly sacrificed by obstinacy and ignorance, Gen. Grant was nom inated in it8. A strong sentiment in the North pointed to the selection of Salmon P. Chase as the most available candidate for the Democrats at that time. But Gov. Seymour, against his own Judg ment, was by a siiarp trick iu the Convention, put in the false position of excepting what he did not desire, and ot thus rejecting the man whom lie preierren as oHennir the best chance of success. His defeat was foreshadowed from the hour that the Convention made this blunder.though ii was icas urusuiug man nau oeen anucipaieu, us is snown by tlie re turns. 1868.

The corruption and rascalities dur ing Grunt's first term led to an organ' izod revolt among the best Republic cans, who also desired to cut loose from the extreme views of leaders who encountered the worst elements and opposed any proper restoration of iuv union. There was a great opportunity, by a combination of this disaffected branch of the party with the regular Democ racy, to acnieve a memorable success, and to arrest the dangerous tendency of the extremist. A faction of the so- called Liberals undertook to force i candidate on the Cincinnati Conven tion, against the declared preference of the party which had to furnish the votes.

This community was startled this evening by a rumor that James Larkins, Col lector of City and County Tuxes, had shot himself, and investigation proved the rumor true. He was found about one mile west of the city by a teamster bleeding profusely, and was brought to town, where he walked three squares to his house . He told his friends and the physicians that he had fallen. Dr Laskells, on making an examination, prounced the injury a gun-shot wound, and Lurkin, who is still conscious, acknowledged that he hud shot himself. The surgeon pro nounced the wouud a mortal one, the bullet entering the centre of the fore head and tuking an upward course. Larkin has beeu in arrears in collec tions and has been urged by city offi cials and his bondsmen to make greater efforts. Yesterday the county made a levy en his property, and a special meeting of City Council was held to-night, at the request of his boudsmen, to make a settlement. There is no doubt Larkins k a de faulter to a large amount, but the city and county are amply secured with nine bondsmen, prominent merchants and business men. The city claim is over 29,000 and the county $5,100. The bondsmen think a portion has not been collected. Scrap pictures, Authors, pea hold ers, note paper, envelopes from size 1 to size 14.

December 8. -Wht'e the excitement over the trial of Benjamin K. Bortree for murdering Henry W. S house of Easton Is monopoli.imr public attention here, a diversion u caused by developments In another murder case which Judge Waller, who is trying tne snouse murder case, will have to try In a week or two over in t'lke county. The evidence surround ing this case is entirely circumstantial, but very jxinted. Some time since Thomas Burns. Sr.. living about a mile from Benjamin Bortree's house in fine county, bad some litiiratioti with Andrew Cross, a neighbor. Cross won, and Thomas Burns, to save his farm deeded it to his son, Thomas Burns, Jr., aged about 35, Young Burns immediately began a fast life. Horses, drinking, gambling and women were his delights, resulting in mortgages on his farm and frequent quarrels with his fattier. They often came to blows, and in an altercation four weeks ago the son thrashed the father severely. Not long after ward tne dead body or tne son was found In his room in his father's house, the top of his head blown off, with blood and brains scattered all about the floor and walls. Near by lay a gun. A coroner's jury took evi dence, under the impression that it was a suicide. The father testified that he was in the room at the time that the shooting was accidental, and that the gun was in his son's band. This led to further investigation and resulted in a vote of five for acci dental death and one for charging crime to the father. The corpse had been examined and the jury again went over the evidence. The position of the body, the nature of the wounds aud condition of the room re vealed the following facts: While blood and brains were scattered about the room the clothing of the father was stainless. The wound showed the shots had entered the head from behind the son and from a hiirher ele vation than the son's head. The father was considerable taller than the son, and this together with Burns' ad mission that lie was in the room, led the Coroner's Jurv to decide five to one aginst, Burns. The juryman voting for liurns was the one who had tone uls bail. The prisoner was committed to the Milford Jail this morning. NEWS ITEMS. The claim Is made for Amos Per kins of Unity.
