THE 'retsmustqcs. Meg of Ohio are
likly to listen to wise counsels. Several
of their leading agitators are utterly op
posed to separtdo political at and in
tend to be heard from, on that line, at
the Urbona Convention.

all:
Comanstousutit DZIAIiO has made an
apparent mistake in reappointing, as 13u;
pervisor of the Westerw, District oc Penn
sylvania, a iatmen of the Eastern District.
It is not a qiestiect as to the qualiticatiorts
of Kr. Terrtni; the question is, rather,
had we no candidates, suitably quslified
for the appointment, who were residents
of this District? There should have been
very' strong reasons, to induce the Com
missioner to disregard local claims in, this,
way.
Tun DOLOCRACY of Philadelphia are
Tent terribly by the three.cornered fight
now in progress in their. camp. The rag,
tag and bobtails known as the McMu llin
crowd, and comprising ninety per cent. of
the party, pall one way in support of
the present nominations. The city rall7
way ring, nine per cent: more, have their
own private Interests to promote, While
the remaining one, r.T cent., Democrats
from principle, are indignant titthe oat
rages lately committed in the Democratic
name. Another meeting of the City
Convention is demanded, and will proba
bly be held, to whitewash all difficulties if
siseible._
RECENT nincovEnras reveal immense
deposits of coal and iron of the best qual
ity in an 'entirely new district of Indisha.
The Hoosiers boast, and with good show
of reason, that their State "will soon
rank next V) 'Pennsylvania in manufac
turing.", Every new discover, of these
stores of mineral wealth in our adjoining
• States presents a fresh
_argument for; the
immediate construction of a ship•canal
from Pittsburgh to Lake . Erie. Other
wise, we may count npon being left far
behind, at no very distant day, in the
,rivalries of the trade, for the lack of such
facilities as will supply the cheapest pos
, sible carriage for both the raw material
and the finished products of Pittsburgh
nnufacture.

PRISON REFORM.
Tire.alluded a. few-days since to the prin
ciple-of the commutation of sentences for
the good conduct of the prisoner. At
the last session of the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, a Commutation Law was pis
sed, et the urgent-solicitation of the In
specters of the Western Penitentiary,
=dein person. Wile terms of comtatr,
Wort are tbe same as are re&ignized in
the State of New work. :9.lreadys.the
good egects 'of this new policy are being
experienced in our penitentiaries, as evi :
denced by the exemplary conduct of e
prisoners. They manifest amuch gre ter
degree of contentment, are more hope ni,
and consequently moretheerful, and do
their work proniptly and without corn-.
plainiug. The law is in successful opera
tion in the Philadelphia Penitentiary as
well as in Allegheny.
At the same session another law was
passed, applicable to the Allegheny Peni
tentiary only. It authorizes the Inspec
tors, at their discretion, to congregate the
convicts for labor, learning and religious
services. This law is now in force; every
Sabbath the prisoners are assembled in
their respective corridors, where they
listen to the preaching of the chaplain as
attentively as in any city congregation.
They take part in the singing and seem
to manifest a very decided interest in all
the services, Mach good is confidently
expected to result from the operation of
both these laws. It is hoped the next
Legislature will extend their provisions
to county prisons. The commutation
law only apOles at present to the two
State Penitentiaries.'

came MCOMIBIAND'S raid on chambers

Imagine the horror which thrilled every
Democratic heart in the Commonwealth,
when it was learned that the rebel troops
were sacking and burning pemocratte
property with no more compunction than
if its owners were Abolitionists dyed in
the wool. Copperhead sympathies proved
to be no protection whatever. The Dem

demoralized and "all tors rip," by this
revelation of rebel ingratitude. Then
was seen a touching spectacle t Vallan
dighturt's wealthy enterteiner, that warm
hearted friend of Soithern the .
Nabob of the Lehigh, beeame a "gray

ance of wages to` - all MS operatives who

of the •latest Democratic electioneering
novel While the "wrinkled front of

from Pennsylvanian eyes, Mr. Vallandig
ham' s friend PAcxEn felt east in the indul

case in another light when a ruthless in

the County Commissioners fail, to
secure the Democratic end, the nest
resort will be perhaps to Democratic
police. In someway, the party will re
sist the enforcement of the law; to the
last moment. It is well that our friends
there should understand this. Through
the State, the oppOsition rely upon a
fraudulent vote by thousands in Phila
delphia as the only Ime of electing Pack

range of human possibilities. Their
candidate stands no chance at all in the
rest of the Commonweatth—nor in Phil

battle-field is there and its issue tarts
upon the maintenance of registration.
ON the 2Stli of June the first Interna
tional Israelitish Synod met at Leipzig,
Saxony. This Synod was composed
principally of the Refor.ned School of Is
raelites from all parts of the world: On
the motion of the Rabbi, Doctor: Pun,
IPSIION, of Dresden, the Synod adopted
the following resolutions, which are a
declaration of the principles of the body:
"1. That the Synod, in conformity
with the teachings of. Moses and the
doctrines of the nrophets—and in recog
nition of the duties and habits of modern
society and State authority---considers
Judaism to be in accordance with the
grand principles of humanitarianism, of
equality before the law, equal nghts in
the government, and perfect freedom of
religious thought and expression.
"2. That it is in the development and
establis meat of these principles that
the safe y of present and future Judaism
is assur d. _
"3. T e internal Pie or all religions,
their m tual respect and equality in the
battle o truth, should be one of the
aims of manicind--such battle to be car
ried on with spiritual wearims only.
"4. It is the object of Judaism to -se
knowledge, express and adyance thew
principles." .
A similar convention le ehorly to be
held in this country. It, is:, said that the
other, or orthodox section of Jews,
regards this movement with suspicion
and distrust.
. , . .
TLIERE is a melancholy degree of truth
in the last wail of our Conservative
, , .
friends of the Lordsvillegournal. Thns :
.
.
The Virginia Conservatives may have
to win two or three more victories and
win them under difllcultlea before they
can secure any practical advantages
from that already. won. The military
power can turn all the seemingly line
fruits of the late election to dust and ashes
by a touch of its finger . and s can the
Congressional power. This truth which
to daily becoming more manifest, casts
upon the Conservative, ;rand is Virginia
a cloud that does not utnin up a silver
lining to the moon.

LATE advice* from (Juba report: •
There are thiem distinct parties in the

Captain General, who support the Span

Cuba raised into an independent province

Spanish regulars shall be Bent home; and
lastly, the party of independence. The
latter depend much on help from the

The Phila. Stiiiday Mercury, (Dem.)
says : The county Democratic ticket is a
load which the State ticket should not.be ,
compelled to carr. It is not:only intol
erably bad in the i nfamous character ,and
antecedents of some of the names upon it,
but it is quite as exceptionable on account
of the violent and fraudulent manner in
which the nominations were made. If
these nblectionable candidates will not
.voluntatily withdraw, they should be
forced out of the canvass' by some per
emptory action of the party or Its repre
sentatives. If, however, they will not
back out-of the way, of :their- , own . voli
tion, nor be forcibly put out by the pro.
perauthorities, then the result is easy of
prediction. The Democratic . county
ticket will not only be certainly defeated,
and that, too, by a tremendous vote, but
it will cost the State ticket, in this city and
county, the loss of ballots enough to turn
the scale clisastrouslyAgainst it throughout
the Commonwealth. It is generally as
serted and believed' that Judge Packer
wasnominated for the Governorship in
the hope that his money - and _influence
might be used to secure the success of a
local ticket which is the most execrable,
asrespects the character-of some of the
persons whose names it bears and the
mode of its manufacture that erer was
presented by any party for ' the suffrages of
the people. . _
SESI
The Republican future an Virginia.
It is undeniable that Republicanism
has leavened a very large portion of the
Walker party—not the bogus Republi
canism of test oaths and disfranchiSe
ment, but the Republicanism of progress,
which h'as carried the Northern States.
All see how much advanced they are,
and if 1)y. --Republicanism that has
aided in s they want at least to give it
a trial( You will see that whether un
der Liberal Republicans, or Conservative
Republicans, or National Republicans, or
any one of the twenty names by which
the advanced and controlling men of the
Walker 'party call themselves, you will
find Republican principles. Already the
politicians have commenced talking over
repudiation, taxing bonds,&c., and be
gun to take different sies, which ds a
.healthy. sign. It is good when a sick
_child commences to look around him and
take notice, especially when the child has
been so very sick and taken such vil
lainous doses as Virginia bus bad admin
istered often by nurses who ltinibt
kindest hearts and gentleallairnds,
If one may look to 1872, - beltfer see a
Republican party in Virginia . headed by
Baldwin,Stuart, River, Wickham, Flour
noy, Emunds, Chandler and others,
with the Richmond Whig, a paper i which
has proved itself the most farsighted and
powerful political journal in the South,
for its organ, and a Democrat or Opposition
party with Wise, Bunter, Ould and others,
represented by the En quirer, the ablest
exponent of those old ideas which none
who wish Virginia well can ever desire to
see obtain the ascendancy again. There
are two lessons in this election
_that may
be studied with profit by the men of 3lrs
sissippi and Texas. First, the rights of
the white men cannot. be gained without
those of the negroes are granted; and.
second, that the State governments and
State polities of the reconstructed States
are hereafter to be run by new men. and

Talc McConnellsyllle Heratd• relates
that a man, designated as de.
Belting' his wife and five children, In
Wheeling, last August, came back to

several years fore, and hirrd out as a

a letter, in June last, announcing hie
death and stating that he died so poor
that he had to be buried by his Mends.
She therefore set about preparing for a
journey to the grave of her once devoted
husband, with a Niew of marking the spot
,with a tombstone. Arriving, last Friday
week, clothed In mourning. at the house
from which the news of her husband's
death was sent, she asked o young lady
at the door ,If that was where r. Si—
dled, and was abmewhat aatonished and
delighted to have answer that ho was out
in the wheat field alive and well. “Why,
he's my husband!" said the overjoyed
wife. This seemed to stagger the young
lady. and the wife was somewhat astoun
ded, finally, to learn that the marriage of
this young lady to her unfaithful ht
band was to have taken place last Sun:
day. Ho had written that he died in in
digent circumstances, 'thinking that his

. IMorning and
Finds Herself a Man — strange Freon
of a Burglar.
tFrom the Terra Haute 'lnd.) Jourpti 3
A few nights since the residence of a
prominentitizen was entered by a burg
-Ist, and some valuable jewelry and other
prDperty stolen and carried away. - But
before leaving the, house, it appears he
paid a visit to nearlyevery apartment in
it. -Traces of him were found above and
beloW stairs ; where reiindeed, it was
probable any valuables could be obtained.
It so happened that one member of the
family belonged to that much abused - and
very excellent class of society called "old
maids." She is a free-hearted, generous
lady, intellicent and refined, and the only
fearttiat her well balanced mind hadever
known, is the apprehension that in some
evil hour Satan day lure her affections
into the keeping of that:Abomination of
her mind, a man..' The good lady prays
every day that no sueh evil may befall
her, and that she May, live and die in
maiden meditation fancy free. Now,
, whether the burglar knew this peCuliar
ity of 'the lady's mind or not, ho at all
events determined to play her &very Frac
tical joke.
To this end he carefully removedfronv
tbe chair on which she had n eatly folded.
and laid it, all her wearing apparel, and
substituted, from another, room, a com
plete suit of gentlemen's clothes. Than
taking off a huge pair of false whiskers,
he carefully adjusted them to the face of
the sleeping lady. Of course he could
not wait to see the denouement, but that
pleasure was reserved for the family the
next morning. • Awakening at an early
-hour. (the good lady proceeded to the
mirror (an invariable practice - among
the ladies) to enjoy a look at her Mee.
The firlttglance petrified her with horror.
Was she, indeed, a man ?,
The latent superstition of her nature
reviving, she imagined that Satan had
been playing her a horrible ,revenge for
her animosity to the male creation. She
staggered to a chair, and; almost broken
hearted, concluded to dress and send for
a barber. But now she noticed for the
first time that her clothes too were gone,
and a gentleman's outfit was substituted
in their stead. She was certain now that
the metamorphosis was complete, and re
signing herself to the situation tried to
don the apparel. Bat having no expert - -
ence in the adjustment of this new fangled
apparel, and nabit being stronger than in
stinct she found that every time She put
the pantaloons over her head she encoun
tt red an impediment that defied all her
efforts to overcome. In short, the pants
wouldn't go over her head.
At last, in despair. she rang for assis
tance, and her maid appearing at the
door, she cried out: "Don't come in,
Betty, for I tun a man now; but just
please step in and ask; al , brother if he
usually puts his breeches on over his
head, or commences feet foremost"
It is needless to say the message aston
ished the household. It was some time
before the lady would admit to her apart
ments any one of either sex, for fear she
might make a mistake; but one of them,
however, more adventurous than thereat,
pushed !open the door, and convinced the
sorely tried maid that she had not forsa
ken her estate, but was yet one of the an
gels of earth.

knife, and driving it quiVering into the
counter, said, "I'm from Pike County,
young feller, and thar's my ticket;
I want one of them chambers." Bethre
the steel had ceased to vibrate the prompt
clerk quietly thrust a loaded and capped
six-shooter under Pike's nose, and cool
ly answered: "I'v only got 'six cham
bers,' and you see they are all fait."
The Missourian edged out of "range,"
and putting up big "tooth pick," ejacula
ted: "A tall hand's good."
Tun editor of a New York paper (who
probably knows) calculates the amount
of money spent for drinks. He says :
Leaving wines and other expensive liqu
ors quite out of the question, let us see
what a plain coctailist or modest imbiber
of old rye is likely to disburse on his fa
vorite refreshments in the course of a
year. Take a very. znoderate man ea a
sample. Assume that he drinks every
day one glass of ale at ten cents, and four
glassesof whisky at fifteen, That amounts
to seventy centas day, which makes four
dollars and ninety cents a week. Multi
ply by four and you have nineteen dol
lars and sixty cents a month, which, you
know, to one hundred and thirty-five dol
lars and twenty cents a year. Thus, if
the lman who had carried on at this
rate for ten years had all his liquor money ,
back, his pocket would be inflated to the
tune of thirteen hundred and fifty-two
dollars. This is only a small beer calcu
lation; but think of the men who spend
rive times thls amount on liquors, and re.
k member that their name is legion.
A WAsnutarorr dispatch says: The
receipts from all sources, since July Ist,
ore thirty millions, and the disbursements
on account of government expenses are
twelve millions. The interest due on the
public debt is nearly; eleven millions per
month, which, added to the expenses,
make twent4bree millions to tome out
of the t hi r ty . million - receipts, which
leaves, up to today, a reduction of about
seven millions, and in the remaining
week of July it is expected that tilers
will be two millions more come in, in
