ASKING AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
The Whet:lie Democracy__ solicit the
.I"resldent to annul the order of General
4C.4.w0r, requiring the new members of
the legislature to take the legal oaths.
Tht!papplicatbfin 'reflects no .credit upon
their intelligence. Following the Georgia

these 'Slates :to: adhere to his decisions

patriotic desire- to touch the farthest
limit of 'gen:eirosity in dealing with
those - States—a — desire in which the
courfry at that tima :wry generally
shared. 'n7 ow the situation is . wholly
eltariged. To say nolliiiig of the shame.
abuscs, of the Federal lenity, by which
the rebel, element in Georgia has dis
graced itself, and which would be quite
sufficient to justify the President in the
direct removal of his policy, tlie subse
quent legislation of Congress, in the Act
of July Ai, '6B, effectively 'forbids the
waiver which Virginian conservatism
now asks for. The Cann-order is right,
because it was legally unavoidable, and
the President will not commit the gross
error of l disreuardinettie - eiladng law,
by its countermand; to pleaie any, section
or carty.
AN lIIONENT VOTE,
The fe4Lstratiort• of the voters pro
ceeds briskly in every pert et.the Com
monwealth. An abortive plot of the op.;
position Philadelphia has revealed alike
the Democratic disposition to obstruct the
operation of the lasi; and the,.inrktence
of their partissnspirit. The law isevery;
where, under execution now. Three
days hence, the lists of voters will be
made public in each district, at the usual
place of holding its polls, antlin the hands
of each assessor, for the free; inspection
of every citizen. Miens who desire
the purity of the stiffrage, should not fail
to glire these lists an immediate examina
tion, to have any legal • additions - wide,
aid to prepare their challenges agiinst,
names already Bawl improperly.
It isgratifying to note the public sup,
port, which; with but fetieiteptions, has
been cordially given to this importint
statute. - The decision of the Suprem)e
Court sustaining its constitutional valid
ity, has eirnted.the Widest Influence fo
good. - The masses of our people, Ines
pective of polities, cannot be convinced
that it igen unwise enactment; the leading
opposition partisans begin to discover that
their furious hostilltY lajust so much Tabor_ .
lost, and, abandoning any open resistance:
to the law, reiy:tltogether upon what
they may accomplish at Philadelphia,
where 'our friends are wide-awake- to
block - their. game.
This law ensures a fill! Republican vote
neat Octobei: It , equally ensures a Dem
ocratic deficiency of from five to ten thou-_
sand, and perhaps more—heretofore their
anneal , average ..of frauds. The . Packer
men will try to make this degclencykood,
among his coal fields and along his ripl
ways and canals. , Beaten at Philadel
phia, they will transfer their criminal op.„
erations to the anthracite regions, and
look to - . the officials in that Democratic
strong-hold for impunity. But they can •
-
,
-not elect their candidate without first
trampling this excellent Statute unaer foot.

for extraordinary exertions. Herein
consists the real peril of the Republicans
ofPernisylvania in the election that is

approaching. That they constitute a de

demonstrated on many occasions, in con
test after contest hi which their shouts of
triumph have electrified the Republican
hosts in •other States and urged them for

I If the whole work to which the Repub
lican party IS Pledged, by its traditions
and its public acts, was fatly consumma
ted, there would certainly be no need to
excite its members to fresh _exertions.
But such is not the flictl The Fif
teenth , Amendment of tli Constitu
tion;l remains unratified, and Use Demo
costs in this Commonweal have re
cently expressed' bitter hostility to it.
The newly enfranchised blacks have only
been started in that career by which they
are to be transformed into useful and
honorable factors of the political andpro
ductive communities. The national
finances, including the public debt, have
not been rescued altogether from the dis
grace of repudiation, with which they
were threatened, and from the efforts of
venality to which they were exposed.
Nor has the •
population of the country
had established upon them those_ habits
of mutual sufferance and helpfulness
upon which the new order has been in.
stituted. Much remains to be done.
_ In view of these facts, we earnestly
urge upon Republicans the imperative
necessity that rests upon them of making
a grand and triumphant effort this year;
to put off apathy, if they feel it; to dis
miss personal griefs, if they have cher=
ished them; to cease criminitions and re•
criminations; and so to act that the State
Candidates and a majority in both
branches of the Legislature shall be Be.
cured.
In the years ilk,' and 1868 the 'New
York coal companies, operating in Lu
ne:me county, sought to overstock the
market to as great a demi as possible.
In the face of declining prices they
strained every itesource to increase the
quantities mined and sent forward. ' Hay.
,ing shorter lines of transportation to
New York and-Nevi.t ngland thin their
;competitors of Schuylkill comity, they
could make something 'even when nrice4

what was desived, as. to' lead the Schuyl.
kill ,proprietors lin ,a course of
- poverishmtint, by causing them tosell for
less than the cost of Production.
This 'attempt sdadellY, The
Schuylkill men,' opfTding mostly on
comparatively, small Miles, 'worked away
so long as they Could realize some profit;
and when they could, make none sus

leaving the , male • •:pt;.of the loss to fall
on , 'the transportation .companies, from
which they were and are totally elistitiet.
This year . the tahles)are _completely

Meanwhile the New York companies

their miners as to the termsof future etn: : ,

Miners' .-Association, ''and it h e miners ,
refuse to succumb, and hence mines, raill

The look now is that this complication
will not be adjusted very. soon, and that

liesays the late Wells party comprised
frilly two-thirds of the Republican party
of the State. The other third supported
Mr. Walker for Governor, and formed
the balance of power between the Re
publicans proper and the -Democrats,
which secured the triumph of Wal
ker. The Wells. men now pro
pose to reunite the party, and their
leaders have already offered overtures Uzi .
the Walker part, acquiescing in the re
sult, and offering to turn in and support
Gov. Walker, accepting his Richmond
speech as the- key note of the policy of
his administration. My informant says
the broad doctrine of universal suffrage
and universal amnesty, as put forth- and
advocated by the 2W/rune, has been ac
cepted by the Republicans of Virginia,
and henceforth the party will act in unity
on that platform. The Wells and Walk
er Republicana united will prevent the
Democrats from gaining' the control of
the Legislature, and secure trio Republi
can United . States . Senators. Should the
efforts for a reunion succeed, the Repub
licans will be unanimous in a request to
Gen. Canbyto withdraw the application
of the Test Oath.
While nothing has been made public
theimpression in military circles is that
Yerger has been convicted of murder and
sentenced to death.
The developments of the past few days
have convinced even the most hopeful
among the Conservatives, as well as the
most doubtful, among the Radicals, that
the influence of the .Administration is to
be used for the latter in the pending South
ern elections. Secretary Fish is under
stood to be the only member of the Cabi
net who is the least disposed to favor the
Conservatives, while the President him
self is known to•be Inclined to allow the
heads of the several Departments to pur
sue their own courser It is possible,
however, that he may be persuaded, be
fore his return from Long Branch, to
take a more decided stand, as several del

Thlsli caused by the slightly different
levels on which theplatforma run, so that
when the rapid motion or the train is
checked the bottom fratneyrork of one car
is forced over the frametvork of the next,
and goes arashipg through the body of,
the coach: The platforms being an ex
tension of the bettom framework of the
cars, it is, asserted are too rigid, and,
when collisions occur, offer too great re

where the passengers are seated, is oblig
ed to give way. It is, therefore, contend
ed that if the platfonna were to be so built
as to be less firmly untied to the frame
work, they would yield to the force of
the shock, and the body of the car would
be preserved;

Killed on the Railroad..—Found Dead.
Tuesday evening an elderly man came,
to the Union Depot on a Westren train,
•where he registered his - name as John .
McAlpine, from Illinois. His manner
on the train and after arrivinz at the
depot was such as to lead to the belief
that he was insane. His Manner at
tracting the attention of officer Wool-
Midge, who asked him Where he desired
to go ? To which he replied "to Heaven
or to the lower regions, sir." He was
conducted to a room and , about two
o'clock yesterday morning he came down
stairs and went out on the depot plat
form, Where he attempted to throw. Mtn
self under the locomotive of a train that
was leaving. He - was prevented by Mr.
Keay, the night dispatcher, _and was
sent to hia - ro - no. About six o'clock he
left the hotel, unseen by the attaches, and
attempted to get on a train as it was mov.
ing. The brakeman• assisted him on
board, and that was the last known of
him - by thostiat the depot until the news
of his death was received. As the - train
approached Sewickley, he went to' the
door of the car in a hurried manner
and springlag out on the platform
threw : himself between the cars, ' The
conductor who observed him leave his
seat starteciatter him, but was too late to
save hint. The brakeman who wasstand
-Ing on the platform, with his ly.ck to the
door, saw film drop between the cars and
endeavored to catch him, but failed.
The train was stopped almost instantly,
when he was found under the car. A
bolt in the brake bar, which projected
about . eight inches, had penetrated his
breast, and his skull was crushed in a
horrible manner. The body was taken
to Beaver, where. after some time, the
Coroner of that county was found and a
jury empanneled, when it was aster'
tamed that he came to his death in this
county, and the Coroner refused to
hold an-inquest. The body was then re
turned to Sewickley and Coroner (flaw
son notified and requested to hold an
inquest upon It. Tne Coroner and a
jury, accompanied by an official of the
road, proceeded to Sewickley, when, af
ter viewing the body, the inquest ad
journed to meet this morning at ten
o'clock at the Coroner's office.
Yesterday morning a Man was found
dead in a switch tender's box, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, near Wall's Sta
tion, hy some workmen who were work
ing near the place. It appears that on
the day previous the man passed Wall's
Station and appeared , to be very weak
and debilitated. When discovered he
Was'iving on a narrow bench not more
than ten or twelve inches wide, and ap
peared to have died without any pmn
whatever, as there were ho signs or evi
dences of suffering about the belly.
Coroner Clawson was notided and hold
an inquest on the body yesterday, when
the jury returned a verdict of death from
natural causes. The man was apparent
ly about thirty years of age and well
dressed. A pass book. vos found in his
coat pbcket, bearing the name "Edwin A.
Robinson," and from entries endpapers
in the book, the man came from the town.
of Webster, Maine, which he left about
the first of April last. It appears from a
brief diary that he left Lewistown,
Maine, on the - fifth of April, 1869, for
Winona or St. Charles, lowa, where
he arrived April - 10th. ,He appeared to
be in seambreff relatives, wliom he failed
to find,• and from thence went to St.
Loa's. Hie emanation appears to have
been that of a wool spinner er "warp

except three cents, and had no baggage.

ted off, he carrying the carpet-sack; in
which she told him there was
the money.. After proceeding a short dis
tance he suddenly disappeared and left
her alone, destitute and unable to speak
a word of. English. She somehow- man
aged to . find her way tq the . Mayer's
office and related the story, but although
the most diligent ,search was made no
clue to the robber could be obtained, and
,the matter was forgotten. • .
;Yesterday however, it was • revived
again. - The girl appeared at the Alleg
heny Mayor's 411 lee and related the same ,
story. Investigation followed, and the
tavern keeper named was sent for.
While this was being done, the girl sud
denly started off and disappeared with
out a word. • The tavern . keeper denied
all knowledge of her, and disease was
allowed to drop. ~
The girl is evidently demented. Her
story and actions at the Mayor's office
plainly indicated this fact, but as she so
suddenly disappeared nothing ,00tild be
donefor her. She professes tp be unable
to speak Hnglish and apparently knows
nothing but the story which she relates
in German with gonsiderabkr hesitation.
The awe In many respects is a singular
one, not often met with in police circles.

Threatened Chastisement
People- certainly have a right .to ad
minister-`reproof ana chastisement to
their own offspring as they may see
proper, but when - teat privilege is at
tempted in the.case of , their neighbor's
children, they are apt to meet with diffi
ottitiesi- Yesterday Mrs. Barr realized
this fact when she threatened, at the first
convenient season. to administer the rod
to a youthful scion of the Stinson ficaily.
Mr. Stinson objected to her authority in
the premises and submitted the caiie to'
Alderman Tiylor, who directed his offi
cer to secure the attendance of Mrs. Barr
at his office, when the case will be in
restfgated.'
A Nuisance Remoyed.
Horses are very necessary and con
venient animals in their proper sphere,
but when they come in the shape of a
dead carcass, emitting foul odors under
the rays of a burning sun, their useful
ness la considerably impaired—anopinion
which seemed to have become thorough

idents of the Point, who turned out
- yesterday in force and -threw into - the
river the defunct remains of an animal,
which had been annoying them - for. SOT

floating away on a down river trip %with
feelings of the greatest joy and satisfac
tion.
