Tnn registration of voters proceeds
quietly at .Philidelphia. ' Two RePubli
cans and one Democratic canvasser are
appointed for every precinct in the city,
an arrangement which ensures ample pre
cautions against any fraudulent lists.
Tun Riffled Republicans of Mississippi
have satisfactory assurance from Wash

THE Lux Cuban sensation was created
by a rumor that the American Minister
to Madrid had been instigated, by- our
Government, to urge the sale ofi - rhe
island to the insurgents, whose bonds for
the purchase-money, a trifle of only fifty
millions, were to be guaranteed by the
United States. This rumor was mnsa
tional only among such people as ,have
enough of simple' credulity to believe
every canard from Washington. Of
course, it had no real foundation in fact.
General Bicxml has had no such instruc
tions; our Government has not the re
,
motest intention of committing' itself to
a folly so , insane,_ and Spain would not
entertain the propositiOn if made. In
about a month or six weeks, the canard
will be again revived for the amusement
of the flats, who swallow it with implicit
faith, as often as it may be presented.
. 1 Tan ramps of Washington and Jef
ferson Colleges—we hope soon to be able
to say College, in the singular—are
clearly in earnest, in their zmlous efforts
for the re-organization of these institu
tions, in the interests of a more practical
usefulness to , the public. Tfte day can•
not be far distant when the complete
union of two feeble branches shall render
the one College a prosperous and effective
element in the instruction of our youth,
her halls once more filled with profiting
students, her pecuniary resources solidly
established, her faculty of teachers strong
in ability and experience, her old renown
restored and redoubled, under a mer
ited public regard, and the; College of .
Washington and Jefferson elevated to its
proper dignity as a seat of learning, of
which any Commonwealth might be
proud. Among the steps of late takento
these ends, we recognize the installation
of Rev. Dr. Bmororrrt, now of Sewick

auspicious. promise. He brings to his

RUMORS come to is of an organized
movement, among influential citizens of
the British Provinces on this Continent,
for the more perfect vindication of their
local interests, as a part of the colonial
empire of England, or, as the alternative,
for some form of incorporation with the
Republic. We doubt if this movement
engages, to any notable extent, the sym
pathies of, the influential classes In the
two Canadas, Bermuda or tkie Bahamas.
But it has been apparent, of late, that the
people of the North Eastern provinces
a nd islands, and of the Pacific territory,
are last ripening into an annexation pol
icy. Perhaps nine -tenths of the inhabit
ants of British Columbia are earnestly
desirous of this consummation. Whatever
solid basis there may be for the; reports
which now transptre, it is int direc-1
tion that a Federal policy of af nisition
till °
would do, a hundred-fold more, illus-
trate true statesmanship, and tO,advance
the material interests of the Union, than
to daily with any delusive temptations in
the West Indian seas. When our flag
floats along an unbroken coast frOm Beh
ring's Straits to the Gulf of California, it
will be but a step, short and soo - i, which
shall complete our mastery of tfte Conti:,
nent to the Isthmus of Panama and an
undisputed supremacy of the North Pa
cific ocean. The West Indian plums will
fall into our mouths when they are ripe.
We don't want them before. We shall
have them then, without effort or cost.
In the meantime, an entire continent
should be ours.
THE PUBLIC CREDIT.
In nation has no occasion to use its
credit, it is certainly In a happy condition,
and need have no anxiety as to the con
ditions under which its obligations could
be placed in the market. But when a
nation Is heavily in debt, and is paying a
high rate of interest on the whole sum, or
the greater part thereof, it is compelled to
husband resources, to see that no reve
nues are wasted, but that all are properly
collected and applied, and that such re
ductions are actually made, from time to
time, as will give assurance that, within a
reasonable period, complete cancellation
will be accomplished. The good effects
of such a policy, rigidly pursued, are not
only prospective, but immediate. Public
credit is fortified, and soon fresh loans,
negotiated at reduced rates, can be made
to replace old ones, bearing larger inter
est. This lessened rate, the result of im-
proved confidence, constitutes in itself, a
material and enduring reduction of the
common burden.
When President Gnarr entered upon
the idministration of the government, be
almost instantly stopped many serious
leaks in the Treasury. With the same
laws substantially as were in operation
during the last year of his predecessor,
he at once Increased the income at the
rate of one hundred and twenty millions
of dollars annually. That increase is
still maintained, and is likely to hold
entil either Congress shall see proper to
abolish some of the taxes or a commer
cial revulsion shall befall the country.
Nor have these gains been realized from
retrenchments orthe expenditures. Ne
cessarily that duty will not be entered
upon until Congress shall next assemble
in regular session. So much plunder has
been rescued from the spoilers, by put
ting honest men in positions which rogues
filled before.
These large savings Mr., Bouxvwn..
has applied to the purchase of national
bonds and the withdrawal of legal ten
der notes; mainly the former. So far as
bonds have been bought, they have been
carried to the Sinking Fend, which is
provided for the ultimate extinguishment
of the entire Indebtedness. ' -
Objections have been raised to the , con
tinuance pf this process by two classes of
people. Business men dissent from the
plan of contracting the -currency by the
withdrawal of greenbacks. The popular
theory with them is that the volume of
paper money should not be reduced but
held where Ale, until the natural growth
of business in the country shall cause it
to cease being redundant. They argue
that in this way the specie basis will be
reached without a monetary, convidsion,
which would;prove ruinous to thousands
of most enterprising and efficient men.
Without stopping to examine this theory;
we may remark that it Seems impolitic, if
not absurd, to retire obligations that
do not bear interest, instead of obliga
tions that do. A businessman, who had
outstanding these same classes of indebt
edness, and could not take up both, and
found that which drew no interest not to be
pressing, would certainly take the inter
est bearing obligations out of the way and
as fast as possible. Speculators in stocks
who desire to.depress public securities,
object to having the Secretary ' , of the
Treasury interfere with their schemes by
demonstrating that the Government is
really master of the situation. As their
schemes are hostile to the xeneral welfare;
involved in the maintenance of the na
tional credit, their lamentations and pro
tests are not worth taking into serious
consideration. -
But this it is of importance to dwell
upon; that with the Government in the
market as buyer of Its own obligations,
they have adianced in value to such's
degree that fresh loans, of vast magni
tede, are offered at a much lower rate of
interest than that now, paid. True, the
Secretary is without authority of law to
accept these, offers; but when Congress
shall come together !inch authority will
undoubtedly-be given him, greatly to the
relief of the : • , ,

to these pointi at this time as furnialdng
a valid and conclisive argument why the
present administration ,at Washington
shonld be sustained. This must be appa
rent to every Republican. Nothing, this
, year, can be of greater consequence to-
Ivrards sustaining President GRA;qT, and
,the financial policy he is wisely and suc
cessfully pursuing than a Republican W.-
umph in Pennsylvania next October.
For such a triumph all smaller,considera

the proportions of the victory.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
For some weeks prior to the usembling
of their late State Convention, the Demo
cats of Pennsylvania professed to be
sanguine of success in the Gubernatorial
election which is approaching. In this
particular, if in no other, their'actions
seemed to be in harmony with their de•
clarations. What causes inspired them
with this pleasant anticipation we searehed
diligently to find, but after a great deal of
care and pains taking, we were utterly
baffled. Admitting the worst interpreta
tion of the political portents that was
fairly possible, we could not discover
even the faiiiteat clew to the apparen
Democratic elation. It was =account
able, to the very verge of the mysterious
All the dark facts of the unpatriotic re
cord made up by the Democratic leaders
and masses, against themselves, before
the war and while it was progressing, re
mained in all the original repubsilieness
and criminality. Nothing of pith and
moment had been done by them to re
have the odium under which, by their
own willful procurement, they justly
rested. A few cheap platitudes, as insin
cere 'as they were inexpensive,.in com
mendation of the soldiers and sailors
whose heroism and endurance saved the
Union, were all the changes made in
their formularies of faith, but the old
animus, too,virulent and active for con
cealment, was as conspicuous as at any
former period.
On the Republican side was disclosed a
record of constancy and devotion un
matched in the annals of any age or na
tion; a steady and consistent develop=
ment of ideas and purpOses, as the great
drama unrolled; and a marvellous cOn
summation, conceived, Indeed, andloped
for during weary years, but only dimly
expected, if at all, at last rounding in
lines of perfection not to' be exceeded.
If there were incidental discomforts in
the swing and sweep of the grand events;
if some badmen, loud in proclamations
of disinterested intentions, but in reality
only self-seekers, and unscrupulous in all
their methods, managed to get into posi
tions of Influence; this was no more than
has happened from the beginnlnk of the
world, in calm as well as in storm, under
all forms of government and religion,
and in both Church and State. Such
mischiefs or 'irritations are, always and
necessarily amenable to remedies which
are clearly within the reach of those who
have the courage to ap ply them.
This democratic elation. to which we
have referred, was the true reason of the
hot rivalry that was manifested between
the supporters respectively of Pear=
and Ckis. The delnaive thought that if
either of those gentlemen• should be nom
inated, he would surely be elected,
sharpened the enterprise and added a
dash of acerbity to, the feelings of their
clansmen. The two factions, owing to
long exclUsion from power end place,
were equally hungry for such honors
and emoluments as a victory at the polls
would give them. The little that a State
administration has to bestow was regard
ed with an insatiable longing. If it
would not suffice, it would stay the appe
tite until more might he obtained.
The strife ended, as all people know, in
the nomination 'of ' Mr. ' PACKER; and
from the day he was declared the candi
data up to this hour, the confidence of his
supporters in.-the possibility of his elec
tion has steadily abated. Thie was natu
ral enough. Estimable as he confessedly
is in his minis We, he has no qualifica
tions whatever for public service,
and hence is devoid of those salient
qualities that are indispensable to ,
the awakening of entlitusisam. Even
Ills vast fortune, honorably acquired, and
the social eminence which it gives him,
prove to be disadvantages rather than
helps. While the Democratic leaders—
the men who furnish. the brains for the
party—are aristocratic beyond all prece
dent in this country, where money asserts
its prerogatives more offensively than in
any other land the sun shines upon, the
masses of their followers hold - wealth
to be pretty nearly synonymous to rob
bery. That masses which are swayed by
such conceptions of wealth, and such
prejudices against its possessors, should
follow the leaders they do, may be takes: -
es one of the strongest existing illustra
tions of the force of intellect; of the power
of superior mental endowments to achieve
the mastery, even under the most adveise
circumstances,
Whether the case of the Democrats
would have been any better than it now
is, had Mr. (less been made the candidate;
instead of Mr. PACKER, hie hardly worth
while to stop to consider. The faction of
which he is the favorite, thinks so, and

sideration, it seems to us, would not have
altered the predestined result.
The fact is, the Republicans have a de- I
cided majority of the legal voters ofPenu
sylvania. This is why the Democrats
have steadily resisted all attempts made
by the Legislature to lessen, if not entire
ly prevent frauds upon the ballot-titr.
In an honest poll, they know they are
sure to be badly beaten. Hence, Akeir

chise.:lndeed, ever body understands
perfectly that whene ,er Democratic legis
lators or Judges of e Supreme Court
have assigned otherreasons either to pre
vent such laws or t evade them, they
have only sought to disguise their mo
tives, their real design being to render
frauds not only possible, but easy.
With all the illegal votes the Democrats
have been able to put into the boxes,
they have not succeeded in electing a
Governor for many years past. Indeed,
at every attempt their chances have sensi
bly diminished, even in the absence of
any proper registration of the voters.
Row shall they succeed, no matter how
earnestly they may strive. now that
wholesale frauds are rendered difilcblt if
not impossible through the intervention
of new and salutary laws? In truth, the
Democrats are fast coming to take a cor
rect view of the situation, and to per
ceive that Mr. Peeler's ease is hopeless.
At the same time the Republicans are
shaking off their apathy, and evincing
a determination to keep the ascendency
they have long held, with honor to them
selves and profit to the Commonwealth.
Gov. GLARY will be re-elected.
THE RECENT CHIAN IN ENGLAND
A London correspondent of the N. Y.,
Tribune sums up the result of the late
parlimentary struggle as follows:
- Neither party is satisfied, but the Min
istry have yielded enough to disgust
their more radical supporters, and to per
suade the Tories they might have had
more for the uking; As it ts, they have
but little cause to be discontented. This
poor disendowed church goes oat into the
world with a mere tlglieaf of some .ClO,-
000,000 -sterling to cover its nakedness.
It is disestablished intact, bat disendow
ed more in name than in deed. Two
thirds of its property remain to it, and
since it will at once contract the area of
its work and reduce its staff it is likely
to be actually richer in future than it
has been hitherto, The leading Tory or
gan is at no pains to conceal its satisfac
tion with the amount of plunder these
meek and lowly ministers of the church
have finally pocketed. "A series of oon
cessions were made," says this journal,•
"which gives the Church a sum much
less than its rightful claims, but still of
en amount to enable the new Church,
with the aid of the voluntary contribu
tions which the zeal of her sons will fur
nish, to start on her new career under
circumstances not altogether unfavor
able."
Tim corporators of the East River
Bridge at New York, have unanimously
appointed COL WASH. ROBBIXICH to Suc
ceed his father as Chief Engineer. One
of the foundations of the bridge will be
laid this season. The plans submitted by
the late engineer, although very strenu
ously opposed by outside parties, had
been unanimously pproyed by the Com
mission of United 'States Engineers to
whom they had bee.fi referred. In rela
tion to his successor, the President of the
Company says
Mr. Roebling, during his lifetime, had
employed, as his assistant in the enter
prise, his eon, Mr. Washington Roebling,
a young man of great promise, then re
siding in Cincinnati, and only 33 years of
age. Previous to the death of Mr. Raab-
Msg. Sr., that gentleman bad frequently
told him (the speaker) that he was the
only living engineer who could carry the
work through to a successful termination.
Ms son had since gone to Europe f3r the
purpose of examining all the works now
going on, or which have been finished, of
a character similar to that proposed for
the bridge which will connect New York
with Brooklyn. All who knew young
Mr. Roebling spoke of him in the highest
manner, and extolled his abilities as an
engineer.

Packer's Recommendations;
ABA Pscszn bolts Stephen A. Doug
lass in favor of Breckinridge, the South
ern fire-eater, who developed into the
wickedest among rebels. Will the old
Donglaas Democrats swallow Packer
now?
"BIRDS OF A FEATEcea."—lt is a well
ascertained fact that Asa Packer deserted
the friends of Stephen A. Douglass, at
the Charleston Convention in 1880—that
he entertained Vallandigham at his own
house, during the war, and that he was
nominated at' Harrisbtug, through the
Influence of such men as Frank Hughes
—Alderman McMullen—and Brick Pom
eroy. Vallandigham, Hughes—McMul
len and Pomeroy.
Tan Reading, Times is ventilating Asa
Packer's love for the poor man. The.
Times says that Mr. Packer amassed a
colossal fortune by grinding the faces of
the poor. Years ago he made heavy-con
tracts for boating coal to New York, and
got a kind of monopoly of the business.
He carried his oppression of boatmen so
far that they rebelled against him, and re
sorted to a strike. He went to South
Eaton, where the boatmen had congre
gated, to compel them tb continue in his
service, but BO violent was the feeling
against him that he was seized by the
men, thrown into the Lehigh, and would
have been drowned but fora timely rescue.
So exasperated were the men against
Packer, that drove the man who
had saved his life from the ground with
stones I A fortune wrung out of the
Sweat of other men does not carry with
it any great merit, however effective it
may be in buyibg Democratic conven
tions.
The month of June, 1863, was a memo
rable period in the history of our coun
try. It was then that the rebels, for the
second time, invaded Pennsylvania, and
great anxiety was everywhere felt for the
result. Oar readers will remember that
on a Sunday afternoon the startling in
telligence reached our city, and immedi
ately an immense meeting was convened
in the Court House to consult upon the
best steps to be taken to interrupt
the march of the invader. A aim
ibir meeting was held at Mauch Chunk
on that same day, and it is wor
thy of remark that it was the
first apperarance of Asa Packer, Esq.,
at a meeting of that character since the
outbreak of the Rebellion. tip to that
time he had steadfastly refused to parti
cipate in any movement having for its
object subjugation of the Rebels, but
now his fears were aroused, and his wild
est apprehensions were excited lest his
immense possessions should fall into the
hands of the fell destroyer. At this junc
ture: he arises in the meeting and pro
pospi that all who are willing to volun
teer in defence of the country, should on
their return, retain their places,. and
that their wages should go on as
though they had not been absent. Won.
derfullTherality—usprecedented generosity.
The rebels had t hr eatened to destroy
our railroads, cities and other property,
and here we .have the President of a
large corporation, the Lehigh Railroad
Company, (the half of 'which is owned
by Mr. Packer,) offering to the men in
their emply such inducements to save
their property from destruction.
His friends now claim that he was the
friend of the Government in the prosecu
tion of the war for the subjugation of the
rebels. Was he not rather the friend of
Aim Packer. in this movement? or,
in
other words, did not selfishness drive him
to this act of duty? Let the truth be
known and we have no fear that the peo
ple can be deemed into voting for such
a man as Asa Packer as the Governor of
this Commonwealth.—Beading Times.
Steamboatmasi Drowned.
A few days ago Mr. John Murray, an
old steamboatman. well known in this
vicinity, but lately engaged In the lower
trade, was drowned near Louisville by
the availing of a yawl in which he and
five others were seated. The party were
laboring in the falls with some arrange.
meats for getting the Mollie Ebert over.
While passing by the boat they threw,
out a line, which was caught by some
one on board. The sudden checking of
the yawl by this action caused It to cap
size and the six men were plunged into
the swift current. Other boats were
launched in a moment and five of the
party saved. Murray was near tne skif

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Man Horribly Burned by a Stream of
Molten Iron—His Injuries Probably
Fatal—Lingering in Intense Suffering.
Yesterday an acoldentocenrred at the .
Fort Pitt Foundry, Ninth ward, by
which an employe, Robert Hadfield, met
with terrible injuries, which, in all prob
ability will result in death. It seems,
ihoompany with others, he was engaged
in molding or casting rollers. In doing
this. the mold, about six feet long, is
placed in a vertical position, with one
end resting on the ground. The molten
iron is then conveyed in a ladle from the
furnace and elevated to the desired
height, when it is poured into the mould
from the top. Hadfield I was standing
by the mold when the ladle containing
threethonsand pounds of the molten mass
was being elevated. It had been raised
to the top of the mold and was about be
ing poured in. when by. some accident
one of the , hooks supporting Hadfield
the ladle slipped and allowed it to tin. -
over to one side. Being filled to the
brim, the liquid fire at once poured out
in a stream about six inches wide. Falling
upon the head of Hadfield, and sep
arating it ran down each side. In an in
stant his head was bereft of every ves•

partial or total blindness, but likewise with other
chronic ailments which Dr Keyser his treated
with such astounding success:
The lady concerned was doomed to pe
blindness, which tbrongh Dr. Keyser's sk
was
comp'etely removed, the truth of which h as
