TiIk2:BEAVEIL`4,ENATOKIAL CASE.
As, the details,. of the "arrangement"
under which the Conference arrived at
this nomination, have been narrated to
us, by responsible.and dispassionate indi
viduals, there seems to be enough, at
least, to raise a Strong presumption of
corruption. Hence the Republican organ
of Washington county, which is ably
and honestly conducted, refuses to rec
ommend the support of Mr. REITAN, until
the matter shall' be thoroughly investi
gated and he fully acquitted in the prem
ises. • •
Of course, this casri specially touches
the honor of the Republicans of Wash
ington and Beaver, and it pertains to
them to try and decide it; and
this,
i we doubt not, they will
do. ut. in a subordinate, though
subordinate sense, this .case touches
Republicans everywhere, and even Dein
oasts as well. No man ought to.suc
ceed in getting into any office by corrupt
appliances; much less into a place of
considerable permanence arid conspicuity.,
like that of Benator, by ' disreputa
ble instrumentalities. A person starting'
in the pursuit of office in that way i will be
certain, upon getting it, at least to in
demnify Itlitiself by dishonest practices for
the preliminary expenses incurred.
If, therefore, Mr. ROTAN obtained hi's
nomination by purchase, and that fact
should be established with reasonable cer
tainty, he should either be made to de
cline, or be put off the ,ticket by compe
tent authority. k Policy as well as princi
eiple points to this conclusion. If guilty
of the charges made against him, he can
not be elected, as he certainly ought not
to be, and it will hence be damaging to
his party to allow him to remain in the
position of a candidate.
We are not inclined to condemn any
mar by inuendo or unheard. We, con-,
sequently, leave this matter in the bands
of the Republicans of Washington and
Beaver, trusting that they will sift it to
the bottom, arid 'make such a decision as
the evidence elicited shall necessitate and
demand.

West of the Alleghenies, not much har

owing to the backwardness of the spring,
and in part to the rains, which have made
haivesting almost impossible. Not
much grass has been cut, though the
clover blossoms are, all sere and brown,
and the pollen has fallen from the
timothy. While the grass is heavy, the
hay, though abundant 'in quantity, will
be deficient in quality. A large portion
of it will be of less value as fodder than

Ltr.CONSTRUGTION NIYr PARTIZAN.,
It is generally admitted that the Vir
ginia election ass been a fair one in the
Main. Its simple result is the recon
struction of the State tin the Republican
plani but under Democratic auspices. A
Federal existence is again secured at, the
expense, to the dominant party, of their
prejudices against colored suffrage sur
rendered, of the inevitable ratification of
the new Constitutional Article and of an
ostensible endorsement- of the main fee
tures of the Republican policy. The
Democracy of Virginia, just now flying
the Conservative flag, have wisely pre
ferred even these - concessions to a longer
exclusion from' their National relations.
Submitting duly to so much as they find
inevitable in the preliminary conAltions,
they rely upon other , positive results for
their partizan compensation. The local
government is henceforth altogether in
their handi; the Legislature shows ma
jorities in 'which Republicanism, pure
and, jimple,b ;without even the faintest
show of influence; and the new Geietnot

logithanship has gained folbaninliniore
Conservative votes than were repelled by
his temporary fidelity to the flag. _`lf he
proveapnexpectedly stubborn under the
manipulations of the Democratic leaders,
who have managed his election; he will
be honorably exiled into the Federal
Senate, making way for the more pro
nounced partizan, who is now the Lieu
tenant Governor. Six of the nine Con
gressmen are original and unchanged
Democrats. ( .
In view of these facts, it is a wilful or
an ignorant, perverseness which claims
this election as a Republican triumph.
No result could hh7 been farther from
that in Virginia. Weemember that the
,
politicians oft State are quite too wise
in their prese t generation to invite, or to
fail to avert long as they can, such 'is
sues with the dominant party of the Re
public as their friends have so rashly
. ii
made in Geo is and Louiiiana. Such is
not the polic of a shrewder opposition
in Virginia. They concede everything to
appearances' so long as they can secure
an unbroken hold upon the real power of
the • State. ' They find Virginia in the
_Union, after the Republican programm l e, I
but under every other partizan conditkln
in their own favor, to be •infinitely more
fruitful of Democratic profit than when
governed as a military province,
without even the shadow of political
power. The field of local politics is
broad; the barriers set up in the interests
of an advanced republican liberty are high
enough and strong enough, but they
mark a far distant limit, which it is to be
henceforth neither for their interests nor
within the range of existing possibilities
to transcend. Slavery is forever dead,
and the freedmen are henceforth republi
can citizens. The political dignity and
the material interests of Virginia, as of
other states of the South, alike counsel
such a practical recognition of that. citi
zenship as shall best develop the soda],
political and industrial strength of their
Commonwealth. Their statesmen wisely
accept this truth, perceiving their direct
account in it. So much of Republican
ism
is to their solid profit, and
they adopt it cheerfully. They are
confident of their ability to control
all the new political elements for the
profit of Democracy, and the result thus
far shows that they have reckoned justly.
They will ratify the XVth Article in
good faith, and they will attempt no sub
stantial invasion of the personal or po
litical right's of the freedmen, because
their interests jump with this good faith.
Virginia Democratic under the new re
gime, which still faithfully recognising
all the conditions of her reconstruction,
is worth more to Democracy than a
dozen Georgiai;whose obtuse malignants
stand in their own light and blindly ex
clude themselves from every solid advan
tage in the possession of either Federal
or local power. .
We concur heartily with the judgment
of the Administration and of the country,
in approving of the reconstruction of the
State, even in the partizan interests which
have just triumphed there. Far better so
than not at alt. It would be insane folly
to oppose any resistance in Virginia more
than in Pennsylvania, to the current of
popular opinion, tend whichever way it
may within the limits of the law. If the
State is Democratic, and is to be so for
ever, which we have no fears of, that is
no reason for denying to her the Federal
rights which she has prepared herself le
gaily to resume.
This restoration, in which the remain
ing States will speedily share, closes, we
hope forever, the final scene in the great
tragedy of the American Rebellion. _ The
curtain falls upon they Union once : more
marching onward to a glorious eminence
among the nations, reorganized in the
name of Liberty and Humanity, nova
slave under its wide-streaming banner,
nor an alien to his birthright of republi :
can citizenship among all, the millions, of
whateverracc Or former condition, who
have first seen the light between the two
oceans. In ail the pages of its political
annals, the student or philosopher, in the
centuries to come, will' discover no
higher proof of wise statesmanship,
no ; illustration of partizan magnanimity
mote exalted than in those chapters which
shall record the final regeneration of the
Union under tho Republican policy. It
4as much Abet we have engrafted univer
sal Freedom upon the organic law, but it
is even more ,that we have preferred in
tho hour of our triumph , one common
country, once more restored to a consti
tutional harmony and peace, above any
of the temptations of partizan advantage.
It shall benceforth be reckoned"tho most
admirable achievement of Republicanism,
not that itassumed an absolute power for
the safety of tbe Republic, but that it
knew how to lay it down when the one
great purpoSe had been served.

Era Blair's Latest Appearance
The officers of the Army and Navy
of the Gulf partook of their annual ban
quet at Lon 4 Branch on Thursday last.
The affair was arranged on a grapd scale,
onlfrone event occurring to mar the
pleasures of l the time. It was this: When
Major General Frank P. Blair was called
he said he would say a word fora peo
ple who had not yet had a voice raised
in their behalf. "I will speak of the peo
ple who were once our enemies, and I
know that when I speak of them before
soldiers I speak before those whO will
heattilyrespond. Those against whom*re
contended, whom we aspersed as. rebels,
and whom we triumphed over as well.,
They were great and generous people,
they were worthy of the steel of onibest.
We have heard here of Farragut and' of
Sheridan, but we shall' yet hear of Lee
and Stonewall Jackson.. [Hisses and
cries and great 'confusion.] Who is it
dissents? tNumber of voices—"We
dissent," "I dissent," "Think of Ander
sonville and Libby Prison."l It would
be little merit for us to have triumphed
over a mean enemy.. [The speaker was
again interrupted by a storm of hisses.]
I speak of them as our late adversaries.
[Cries of "Traitors."] Are there Ino
voices to be raised .for them? [Criei of
"Yes" and "No," great confusion, and
cries of "Traitor."] •
Admiral Farragut here decided that to
introduce anything which interrupted the
harmony was out of order.
General Blair sat down with a flushed
face. It is due to him to say that he had
apparently enjoyed the hospitality of his
hosts, before he arose to speak, to a de
gree that rendered it difficult for him to
express his ideas with his usual clearness.
His conduct was universally condemned,
and especially by his best friends. The
excitement produced by this little episode
soon blew over, and General Blair left
the room. .
A Magnificent Flower?
At least one thousand persons stopped
in front of Dr. Haliock's shoWj window
last night to admire full-blOwn'night
blooming cereus. The plant ;had been.
•placed there late Monday evenipg, in or
der that all might be able to see this most
rare and exquiste flower. Although well
advanced, it was doubtful whether or not
it ' would bloom last night; hence no
notice was given. During the afternoon
its progress was very mid i and by 7 P.
M. it was well !developed, and up to 11
o'clock there was a large crowd copstant
lyAround the window gazing upon its
matchlesi beauty. Tie corol or corolla
of the flower is from five to six inches
long. In the calyx the sepals are sepa
rate and very, small, equalling in number
double that of the petals. These separate
parts turned well back towards the stem,
which is at least nine inches long. The
petals number twenty-tour, nearly, six
inches long, and at the broadest part
about. one inch wide, :though not uni
form, some of them being not more than
half an inch wide. The petals are pure
white, looking like wax. The stamens
are very numerous, and most delicate,
the pollen being abundant, and, with the
delicate filaments, lookec: at first eight
like spider-webs filled with pollen. The
pistil is long and straight, with a largely
developed stigma. Altogether it is one
of the most exquisite productions of the
floral kingdom. At midnight the flower
was : fully developed, and was exceedingly
lovely, though not as perfect as we have
seen them in more Southern climes.
There was another bud upon the 'cactus,
which is quite large,; and trained around
much in the shape of a rustic chair back,
but it fell off last night just as the other
was commencing to develop, the stock
manifestly lacking sufficient' vitality to
develop both. Those who rise very early
this morning may see some of the rare
beauties. It is very ephemeral, and lasts
but for a night. Shortly after midnight
the beautiful flower began to fade, or
rather, as it were, to retire. The long
and delicate sepals which had folded back
toward the Stem, again folded down over
the petals,. like the delicate fingers of
modesty attempting to hide the facer of
beauty.-4n-soille (I 4) Journal, June

Progress in Iron Manufacture.
Four new and nearly distinct improved
processes are now being matured for'the
making of iron end steel: Two, the
Lieman process and the Ellershausen
process, are for the conversion of the ore
into iron, while the Bessemer and the
Heaton procesea are for converting the
iron into steel. The Lleman process
consists in converting the coal Into gas
before it is made to supply the flame used'
in smelting. By this it is contended that
a vast saving in fuel is obtained, and the
sulphurous and phosphorescent varieties
of coal become available for manufac=
turing iron, as the sulphur and phos
phorus do not enter into the gas but pass
off before the flame comes in contact,wi
the iron. This process ',has been for
three years under expirimedt. . The El
lerslrtuspi process datis but a few months
back, and. is tieing tested for the first
time in several of the' furnaces of Penn/
sylvania. / The Bessemer probess con
verts iron into steel, which is an alloy of
iron, and carbon, the latter being / in the
proportion of from five to two per cent.
The accumulated effect of these four
inventions in this important department
of manufacturing Industry may reason
ably be expected when they are all faiAy
at work, not only to render the thanufac
ture of iron practicable at points which
have heretofore been compelled to intro
duce it from abroad, but will cheapen,
by one-half, the cost . five years ago of
both iron and steel.' • ;

Earnestness.
Twenty 'clerks in a store. Twenty
hands in sprinting office. Twenty young
men in a village. All want to get along
in the world, and expect to. One of the
_clerks will rise to be £. partner. One of:
*the compositors will, own a new_spaper,:.
and become an influential citizen.. One
of the apprentices will become .a master . -
builder. One of the villagers will I get a
farm; andlive a patriarch. But which is
destined to be the lucky individual?
There is no hick about it. The thing is
as plain as the rule of three. The young
fellow who will distance his competitors
is he who masters his business, who pre
serves his integrity, who lives clearly and
purely, who never gets in debt, who
gains friends by deaerving,them, 'and pdts
his money in the iavings bank. • There
are some ways to fortune that look short

men of the community, the men who

A coarous fact has lately been,"
brought to notice in 'regard to the Nevada ,
silver mines. Heat, not water, is the '
chief enemy encountered after reaching a
great depth, and instead of pumping out
water, the company have to pump in air. •
A Nevada paper says: The increase _of
the heat in our "mines is now beginning
to give many of our mining companies
more trouble, and is . proving a greater
obstacle to mining operations in those
levels lying below a depth of one thous
and feet than any veins . or "pocket" de
posits of water yet encountered. A num
ber of the leading companies on the Com ? .
stock are now engaged in putting in en-.
ginee to be 7 tated expressly for driving
fans for furnishing air to the lower levels,_
forcing it through tubes ol galvanized,
iron. With this great increase , of heat in
the mine,lomes a great decrease of *ti
ter; in fact, in our deepest mine, the Bul
lion, which has attained the depth of
twelve hundred feet, not a drop of water
is to be seen; it is as dry as a hme-kiln
andAs hot as an oven. In the lower
workings 'of the Chollar Potosi mines,
which have a 'perpendicular depth of
eleven hundred feet 'beneath the surface,
the thermometer stands at one hundred
degrees—a' frightful'heat, to ;be endured
by a human-bein engaged an .a kind of
labor calling for severe minculai exer
tion. Here, also, we find the water to
have decreased till there is at thepTesent
time a very insignificant amount.. . '
