Editorial Excursion South. A
number of tho editorial fraternity from
1'ennsvlvania, mostly democratic, have
imrm nn nn excursion to Virginia and-
North Carolina. The Junior of tho Scran
ton Danoa utviho was among the number.
speaking of Yorktown, Va., containing
about five thousand inhabitants, the Bccno
of Cornwallis' suircnder, and operation
of McClollan during tho rebellion, says
that there are no schooh or churches in
tho place at present, and only one news
paper published in eighteen counties and
thut in a precarious condition. Tho Junior
mya the.V went, to oe for tbcnisclvcs, and
uirauw) to say they didn't see tho noton-
ens Ku Klux, and believe the stories about
them were mere inventions of tho radicals,
There is a true saying, that "none are so
' blind as thoso who won't see," and o
eotemporary will pud sonic trouble in re
conciling his statements with Souern
journals, who uot only nckuowleik'O tho
existence of these Kuklux, but jusfy their
outrages. But what can wo cecl from
a people who havo neithc churches,
schools or newspapers, whosronly worship
und devotion consists in voting the so-called
democratic ticket nrd wnllor'uig tho
Viien we were informed that our neigh
bor of the Gazette had been consulted in
regard to defending the King, wc expected
that tho Auditor's Report would bo fully
explained, and that tho taxes payers
would have tho f-gures presented to them
eo they could comprehend it. Eut thus far
the editor has neglected to do so, and no
tigurcs of tho amount of taxes in 1870 have
been given to base a calculation on, where
in tlio editor asserts that wo are wrong,
"Wo bhall decline a further reply uulcst
the editor can show that wo aro mistaken
in cur calculations. We consider the de
fense of the liingby the Gazette altogether
out of place, unless ho proves his assertion
by figures from tho report, as it is only
furnishing false arguments for tho opposi
tion parly when nouo of them have at
tempted a reply only through correspond
ents and articles copied from the Gazette.
If the editor of tho Gazette has any regard
for Republican principles, aud is unable to
1'umibh a hetter explanation than ho has
done of tho tho Auditors report, wo hopo
lie will ccuso making capital for the Riug
to bo used through the county as an elec
tioneering document, and allow the Demo
cratic papers to defend that corrupt organi
zation if they deem it necessary.
TnE fact of Jell' Davis preaching treason
iu the South, aud Vallaudigham urging au
acceptance of the situation iu tho North is
bignilicant. Can it bo possible that tho
giving out recently is true, that the Demo
cratic party would go before the people in
1872 without any platform whatever ? It
looks very much like it. Under diUercut
banners they will labor to catch votes,
preaching a variety of doctrines antagonis
tic to each other, but conformed to suit the
locality for which concocted. This would
indeed bo a novel method of conducting a
Presidential campaigu but, driven to des
peration, there is no telling what the oppo
feitiou may do to obtain power over tho laud.
That 801,000. It ilTvcry evident now
that the County Commissioners ore deter
mined to make tho best of it this year. Last
year they had over 03,000 to work on, aud
1 lie preseut year it will probably go a thou
sand or two higher. The amount reported
by the County Auditors fur 1S70, was un
collected taxes for ISCOand previous years,
taO.OJJ 00. The amount of tax levied for
1870 is SSj,019 43, making altogether 05,
t3 42. Of this amount they report 51,
Iml M expended and til, 131 21 iu the
bands of favorite collectors. After having
this larg amount on hand they tell us that
the couuty is indebted t27,37o 7d, ou which
interest in paid, while tho outstanding taxes
mow no interest. Tor 1871 wo learn that
u tax of 7 mills has botu levied, and as the
valuation on property is much higher than
pluvious years, it will run the tuxes up to
ubout 5U,(W0 00, which with tho 41,402
'21 outstanding will make tho isnug sum of
ovli 97,000. Will tho tax payers con
tinue to uphold the King and pay for the
vhiallo th s ; rati n.

The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, good
Democratic authority , quotes tho comments
of lcadiug Republican journals on tho ninth
plank of tho platform, and says :
"We couli' fill a column with tins sort oi
ridicule if we had the room, but tho above
quotations will serve our purpose, incy
show how worse than useless it Is for the
linmnprai.in nnrtv to make anv verbal dec
laration on the subject of negro suffrage, In
so far as public credit of their sincerity Is
concerned, and how grossly tncy are losing
confidence and strength, even with.Dcmo-
crats by such supcrttuou anu menuacious
resolutions s luuv jjiiooeis isn aisiwo...

,ting with a party that has forged a no 10
n an election."
Tho Coiuniblan, a Democratic pepor,
published at Bloomsburg, thus expresses
its opinion of the "new departure" resolu
tion
Tho resolutions, excentinsr tho ninth,
embracothe usual platitudes, and do not
rr-nnire snccinl comment at this time. "We
aro not of thoso who havo respect for plat
forms sot up by conventions, unless me
principles tiny enunciate havo been pre
viously fully oiscusscd and decided by the
rnniiln in the lelnctiou of delegates. Other-
wise tncy are oniy tuo exiucsseu opuuuu oi
tho dapper gentlemen who vote for them.
Thcso words aro peculiarly applicable to
the ninth resolution adopted by the con
vention. It means, in plain terms, that
tho Democracy yield acquiescence in the
i'lttecnth Amendment, aud will not iu fu
ture oppose negro sudrage, or tho interfer
jnco iu State elections by tho Federal Gov
ernment 1 I This resolution, wc mcau to
say, iu no wiso binds or compromises the
Democratic party, aud is only the pretend
ed opinion of seventy six gentlemen who
happened to be able to find their way into
a Democratic Convention as delegates. But
the discussion of this platform may well bo
postponed to some future period, so far as
the Democracy aro concerned. It seems
to ailbrd a very largo fund of amusement
to tho Radical editors and orators, nnd may
effect some good in the way of keeping them
iu pleasant humor.
Two Couuty Commisssioncrs of Alleghe
ny county, McLcc aud Ilecly, who pleaded
guilty to tho chargo of receiving bribes for
granting licenses, were each sentenced on
Saturday last to a lino of if 2,000 aud impris
onincnt for one year. Tho pcoplo in the
western part of the State have evidently
grown tired of tame submission to official
rascality, aud two or their oflice-holdin
figure-heads have been very properly fined
and imprisoned.
It would bo well if tho citizens of other
counties would investigate wrougs com
plained off, and seek a similar remedy for
tho wrongs inflicted upon his citizens.
It is a singular fact that we seldom hear
of a well to do and intelligent Republican
( leaving tho ranks of tho party to join the
Uemocracy, unless for the purpose of get
ting into oClcc, or from some other Bellish
motive. On the other hand it is no un
common thing to see intelligent Democrats,
not influenced by selfish motives, leaving
the democratic party, as it is now constitu
ted, and under the lead of men who trim
their sails to catch every passing breeze,
who are willing to adopt any policy how
ever, absurd, or any measure however cor
rupt, that will aid them in getting into
power. "Wo havo yet to see tho first intcli
gent and an independent Democrat, that
does uot denounce the action of the late
Democratic Convention held iu this place.
Hon. Charles AVY I'itmax, Sheriff of
Schuylkill county, and at ono timo Con
gressman from that district, died on Thurs
day of last week. An obituary notice in
the daily Miners Jwrnal says of tho de
ceased :
Mr. Fitman was a gentleman of excelleut
moral worth, generous to a fault, and his
sudden demise will bo deeply mourned by
tho family, as well as a very largo circle of
friends which he leaves behind, uot only
in 1'otUville, but throughout tho county
aud State.
Gen. Sherman refuses to bo a candidate
for the Presidency. Having been favorably
spoken of by some of the Democrats, since
his post prandial speech at New Orleans,
ho sends this letter of unqualified declina

To Tin; Editor on the Herald:

that as a speech by me committed a breach
of propriety, for Governor W'urnioth presid

call I was assured by tho president of the
society that uo reporters were present and
that whatever was said would bo sacivd

Two characteristic lies no other term
is applicable concerning the President are
now circulating through tlio Democratic
press. First it is charged that ho has ap
pointed a son of Brigham Young to a ca
detship at West Point, and next that he
refused a similar appointment to a son of
the bravo aud gifted Meagher. Tho facts
are that the sou of Brigham was appointed
by Delegate Hooper, of Utah, and that'tho
President, having been requested to appoint
young Meagher, was on the eve of doing
so, when., Tammany becoming alarmed and
fearing that tho action might redound to
his favor with the Irish Aincricaus, secur
ed ior 1110 toy an appointment irom a
Democratic member of Congress of New
York city. These slanders, started in
tho first place by some irresponsible paia
graphist with no respect for his own or tlio
character, of others, have been copied by
nearly every Democratic paper in the coun
try. The President has" been accused of
sympathy with tho peculiar theories nnd
practices of Young and his followers, tho
Irish Incited against him, nnd tho Demo
cratic soul generally made happy. We
veuturo the assertion that uot one-teuth of
the journals that have published these twin
falsehoods will have the manliness to make
a retraction. l'rcs.i.

uot be allowed were that tin terms of the !
favors this country ; that Britain observed
all of the neutral obligations during our
civil war, and that tlio treaty sacrifices her
prestige for the mere preservation of peace
These objections were answered by Kords
Derby, Granville, Cairns uud Farl do Grey,
wiin so mucii lorcc, ana tney were so wuony j
without support, that Iord Russell was 1
obliged to withdraw his motion. Ho ex- j
hibitod all of the animosity to this country
in his power during the war ; now h j s ioms i
forced to eat an appropriate slico of luiin-b!u-pie.
Although the debate is not closed,
the character of its conclusions is clearly
attested in thcso reports, and Knglioh rati
fication must almost certaiuly be given at
nn caily moment.
To this State nnd to the city of Pitts
w t J ..'lint, ttlltl iu luu v.l v U x iLta-
burs belouas the honor of a most wonderful
and important invention of tho air-brake.
It is bolti automatic aud self-adjusting, ap
plied to engine, tender, nnd car, but is di
rected by machinery at the engine. This
machinery consists of nn air pump and re
ceiver, which are worked by the movement
of a hand-lever at the firebox. Pipes con
nect tho brakes of the entire train, and
though these, by the movement of the lever
alluded to, the air is made to net upon each'
wheel iustaiilly. Tho superiority of the
brake lies iu the rapidity and cUieicncy of
its execution. At the ordinary ralo of cx
piess trains, au entire stop is cil'ecled in
about one-third of the timo demanded in
tho old system.
The expense of this new feature, consi
dering tho valuo of the improvement, is
certainly inconsiderable, being for the ten
der 25, for each car $100, and for tho en
gine t'300. As timo is tlio great item to be
gained iu railway travel, so it is preemi
nently the thing to be saved in 00 per cent,
of all railway accidents. Hence any fea
ture effecting a saving even of a lew seconds,
at such crises, will surely revolutionize tho
method of train stoppages. Tho inventions,
demanded indeed by the nineteenth century
in steam travel of all kinds, should havo a
single eye, not to rapidity, not to cheap
ness, but to security. l'i ess.
Unpatented Lands. Among the gen
eral laws passed by the last legislature
aud approved by tho Governor, is the fol
lowing, which is of importance to all own
ers of unpatented lands.
Wc understand that efforts were made
to modify its provisions, but without suc
cess, from which it is evident thut it is tho
policy of tho Slato to havo this long unset
tled business closed up us speedily as pos
sible, aud Ihis is commendable sinco uot
only the interest of the Stale, but the securi
ty of purchasers of real estate, whoso titles
may bo atl'ecled thereby, require it :
Le it inwttd, ite., That tho board of
property shall havo full nnd discretionary
power as to tho time of eutering suits, anil
the uutnber thereof, to bo brought for the
collection of lines agaiust unpatented lauds,
and tho Attorney General shall proceed
under the seventh section of tho said act,
to which this is a further supplement, when

of tho total destruction by flro of the Peru
vian ship Uon Juan at sea nave nccn re
ceived. It is supposed that she was set on
firo by the coolies, who had been entrapped
on board at Macao, China. Tho crew
abandoned tho vessel, leaving fivo hundred
and fifty coolies fastened under tlio natcn
rs. Fivo hundred coolies wcro roasted
aivo the others escaped when tho hatches
burned oil. ino vessel was American
built, and was sold in San Francisco to tho

tencd Do Ores Ugarte. bhe wai tittcd out
for tho coolie trade, and returned several
times for supplies whilo engaged in that
traffic.
New Youk, Juno 13. ASan Francisco
special gives tho particulars of the burning
of the ship Don Juan, which left Macao
on May 4, with a cargo of coolies for Peru.
Tho Don Juan loaded at Macao, taking six
hundred and fifty coolies on board for
Peru, and on tho 0th was burned to tho
water's edge, not more than fifty miles
from Hong Kong. Tho coolies, who have
nrrived In Hone Kone. all aver that their
treatment was humane, and they had uoth-
ing whatever to complain ol cither as to
the allowance of food on the quality, or
quantity, and tho whole allair was simply
accidental. The other view in the question,
uamclv. that tho Vessel was set on tiro by
lesinins men amomr tho Chtncso, is not
impossible. Ouo of the men distinctly
nvers that ho heard an explosion of cun
powder aft, aud also smelt a strong smell
P !k m n!.. ttnwr ln,F A 1,1 , 1 f I ( l,noi
anv ronort: that thev were nearly over
powered by tho sickening smell of the ship's
material burning aft. It is to be regretted j
that tho European who had tho humanity
to open the hatches did not succeed iu sav
ing his own life, as ho was overtaken by
the coolies, who inado a rush at tho boat
waiting for hini, and a general scramble
occurred to get to it, the Europeans using
arras to prevent the coolies getting into it.
Iu this scramble several Chinese were
drowned. Tho boat, however,, ultimately
Hiienoedcd in cottincr clear of the shin, but
had not gone far when it upset in sight of
but not within reach of the coolies. The
coolies then seem to have had. a little lei
sure to look around, when they observed
tho other threo boats at a distance. Dur
ing this time all tho materials of the ship
were rapidlv burning, nnd a largo num
ber perished in the hold, some of whom,
no doubt, were' suffocated, but tho cries
from others were piteous. Many, however,
jumped iu the water and escaped by drown
ing tho moro horrible death by fire.
While the luckless men were on deck aud

The Murderer of tub Democratic j
' 4 , . , ., , ,1....
I Party. As we prophesied tho other day,
the Democracy are now clamoring for tho
execution of Jeff Davis. They blame the ,
Republicans for uot hanging him live years '
ago, when they were doing all they could :
to prevent it. They even attack Mr. ;
Greeley for giving bail for Davis, although, j
at the time, they ''declared it to bo tho most I
meritorious act ofhislit'e, Tho Citizen, which j
is bv no means a bloodthirsty paper, now
dies out "for a sour apple tree, for a Stout
con! aud a slippery noose." It declares
Jeff, to lie a "murderer more foul than
Cole, more cruel thau Miss Harris, meaner
than McFarlaud, more cowardly than
Foster, more deceitful than Mrs. Fair; he

is murdering the Democratic party." Aye,
there's tho rub. It was qilltO excusable if
not praiseworthy, 111 Jell, to attempt the
destruction of his country, to assassinate
liberty and starve Union prisoners', but to
try and murder the Democratic party is a
crime for which there can bono palliation
ot forgiveness, in this world or tho next.
