R. M. Fhick, Secretary. The President Judgeship. Wo late ly observed an editorial in noigl.boiing journal rciauvo to mo ucgeucrncy of tho Judiciary in this country, but ruoro particularly applied to tho Judges of tho various courts of Now York and 6thcr largo cities. It is an undeni able fact that tho corruption of tho Judi ciary in New York, who arc, from tho Btart, elected solely through tho rowdy and Irish Catholic clement, which so largely predominates in that city, has brought one of tho highest and most responsible odiccs in tho gift of tho people into disre pute. It seems that these political Judges, for silch they surely ore, not only wink at the outrages perpetrated upon a pcaccablo procession of Orangemen, but even when the armed ruffians arc arrested and brought before them for trial, they arc dismissed with a trivial sentence, which only encoura ges theso iiends in human form to break tho law again whenever an opportunity pre sents itself. Tho recent action or tho Judiciary iu New York presents a Bad spcctaclo of tho 'corruption in that office, and wo bclievo will have furnished a precedent bad enough to justly alarm tho masses of tho people throughout tho couutry. The tiruo has certainly arrived when every good, intelli gent citizen, without respect to party, should sound tho nolo of alarm, and put forth cvory effort to destroy tho corruption and parlizau influenco of a corrupt Judi ciary, which is so glaringly manifest iu dif ferent parts of tho country, but inoro es pecially in tho largo cities. At tho approaching October election tho voters of this Judicial District, composed of tho counties of Northumberland and Montour, will bo called upou to elect a President Judge, to take tho placo of his Honor, Judge Jordan, whoso term of offico will shortly expire. Tho Judgo declines being a candidate for re-election, owing to his advanced age aud ill-health, which is much to bo regretted, for wo sincerely be lieve that no man has ever been elected to that responsiblo offico who has mom satis factorily fulfilled its duties, with equity aud justice, to all, and enjoys tho high regard and esteem of all parties, than Judge Jor dan, whilo his opinions and decisious in law have been of such a high order ns to rank him amongst tho ablest Jurists of the "country. Our citizens should lose no time in selec ting somo ono for this important office, whose reputation for honesty and integrity Is beyond reproach, and who, at tho same lime, has had tho praclicn! experienco iu our courts to fit him for tho office. A man, however well versed in tho theory of lft w, but who has never had any cspc rienco In trying any of tho difficult cases constantly engaging tho timo nnd attention of our courts, is certainly not the proper person lo put upon tho Bench. A man must have had tho working txjtcrience of a successful practitioner nt tho bar, and, at the same time, bo a good business man, iu order to qualify him for that office. Unless such is the case, tho uuUuibhed business of each term of court, resulting from a want of Imniaess tact iu its Judgo, will accumulate to such an extent that it will be Impossible, tn ct a case tried iu less than thrco or four years from tho timo tho actum is com uicueod.

This is a serious matter, and should bo thoroughly studied and comprehended by every voter In tho county. f That $94,000. It is very evident that the Court llouso Ring in this county have not had tho latest instructions from Tam many, New York, as to managing tho funds of the pcoplo. Instead of using it for fuel, merchandize, &c., they could have employed plasterers to a great advantage. In Now York tho Controller's books show that through warrants mado out by Mayor Hall and Controller Con nelly, Andrew J, Garvey received July 2, 1809, nearly forty-six thousand dollars for plastering and repairs that is to say, war rants for that amount wcro mado ont in his name by Messrs. Hall and Connolly. In May, 1870, tho samo lucky individual raked in nearly three hundred and muety Dvo thousand dollars for similar work. For labor of a kindred character, extending over a portion of two mouth, ho was in re ceipt of nearly one million dollars. This, it must be admitted is pretty good pay for a plasterer. Within two years, Mr. Gar- vcys's receipts iu tho pursuit of his profes sion reached tho modest neighborhood of three millions. Plastering in New York pays, and tho Ring hero might havo adopt ed tho eamo rln, instead of loaviug tho surplus funds iu tho hands of collectors to gain their good graces to keep them in of fice. The Tammany ltiiig of New York is composed principally of Irish Catholics who flccco tho people of that city annually of their millions. The Court House King of Suubuty is uioro moderato. Tho Irish Catholics who aro now seeking lo control this county and boast that they willdj so wilhiu a few years, will not be as moderate ns tho King now is, and tho taxes will in crease accordingly. If tho Democratic voters aro not disposed to examine into this affair let them cupport the ticket nom inated by that element, by fraudulent voles, which is now called Democratic, and they will soon discover that their wallets will not hold out in paying taxes. "Wo would advise every ono who feels tho weight of taxes to examine iuto this matter beforo voting. Colonel McCandless. The Philadel phia Press says: Tho following is tho text of Col.

WAsniNOTo'iT, July 29 Tho Rub Ku Kluk Committee, consisting of Senator Scott and Representatives Stevenson and Van Trump, reached Washington tc-dav, returning from a sojourn of four weeks In various parts of .South Carolina, where they havo been investigating Ku Kluk out rages on the spots where they occurred. The statements derived from the party, fiublisucd la tho Evening Utar, are as fol ows: They first visited the capital Columbia. More than a hundred refugees, who had lied from violence in various counties, were thero ; but after examining witnesses for two day tho Committee determined to go closer to tho scenes of alleged violence, and went to Spartansburg. They expected to remain there three or four da vs. but stayed eleven. "When word got out through Spar tansburg county that they wcro there tho whites and ncstrocs, victims of violence, camo in by Bcorcs every day from all direc tions. Murders ana cruel wmppings ny the Ku Kluk bands had so terrified them that, in many neighborhoods nearly every negro man and Republican white man had slept in the woods for months every night. They showed scarified backs, gunshot wounds, maimed cars and other proofs of tho violenco they had suffered. In Limestone Sprihgs township 118 cases of whipping were proved. The Com mittee awoke every morning to find in tho yard of tho hotel a new crowd of victims of Ku Kluk, somo including whites, who had suffered outrages which cud not be describ ed with decency. After being whipped the victims, if well known persons, wcro often commanded, undor pain of death, to publish a card renouncing tho Republican party, in a 1110 01 mo ooiwi Carolina Smrtan. tho Democratic newspaper, forty- two such cards wcro found, recently pub lished. At Unionvillo the Committco remained two days. Not an avowed whito Republi can was found in tho place, though mem bers of tho Committee were privately as sured by a few that they would avow them selves it protected. Alio terror 01 1110 ne groes hero is complete. Tho last election was carried by a Republican majority ; but tho Republican county officers received Ku Kluk notices and all resigned or (led. Tho policy thero has been nioro towards murder nnd less towards whipping. Tho killing of ten negroes, taken from tho jail by Revcral hundred Ku Kluk, acting under military organization, was investigation. A prominent lawyer of the place, Mr. Shard, a Democrat, on cross-examination, startled tho committco by stating that ho believed almost every respectable unmarried man in tho community belonged to tho Ku Kluk, aud ho believed 1,000 Ku Kluk wcro within a day's march of that village. A negro Methodist preacher, named Louis Thompson, who had nu appointiucut June 11 at Goshen Hill church, in Union counly, received a Ku Kluk notice, in the usual form, not to preach. Ho preached, notwithstanding, to a very few, most of the congregation lleeing when tbey saw tho notice. In tho evening a clan of twen ty mounted Ku Kluk came, tied him nnd whipped him, led him off several miles, dragged him part of tho way tied to tho horses, whipped him again uutil death, mutilated him in a way that cannot with propriety lie described, hung him and threw tho hotly iuto the Tiger river, leav ing a notice forbidding any ono to bury him. Reforo the committee returned Senator Scott sent Thompson's brother, now a ro fugco from Columbia, to Union county with a letter to insure him a strong guard of United States cavalry to go and bury the body, which was reported to bo still lying half decomposed on tho water's edge. Two more days wcro spent in examin ing witnesses iu Columbia. On returning from Spartansburg ono day was occupied in healing tho statements and general views ol'Geueral "Wade Hampton and Gen eral Ruller, the Democratic candidato for Governor last fall. The committee then visited York county, where thev remained nearly a week. They discovered nt Yorkvillu a bitter spirit among tho whito citizeua. At supper at the hotel, on tho evening of their arrival. Major James llerry threw a pitcher of milk over Hon. A. T. Wallace, the Repre sentative of the District, and not a word had been spoken. Mr. Wallace jerked out a revolver and raised it to shoot Rerry, the ladies sereamin?, but tho landlord threw himself beforo Rerry, nnd Mr. Ste venson coolly caught Wallace's hand and ordered tho landlord to take that man out of tho room. Haifa dozen friends gathered around Rcrry, nnd ho went out. In the course ol an hour several citizens ol proiui uuneo called to apologizo in the amplest manner on behalf of Horry, who was will ing to go on his knees if required for what he alleged was nu unintentional affront to Mr. Stevenson. It was subsequently as ceitained that tho business had been dis cussed by Kerry aud his fricuris during the allernoou it was to bo carried out, and that Rcrry had proposed to uso hot cotleu, but finally concluded on milk. Tho color ed bund pereuaded the Committeu later iu tho cveiiiug. A crowd of young white men lilted the porch of the hotel and were about the band, frequently curbing tho negroes and the 1 unkecs in an insulting manner. As the baud went nwav the crowd followed and nearly tilled tho side walk. 1 no hand ami lliosu with it (11c grocfe) were kept by two village policemen from the hide walk.

KEwToKK. A Terrific Explosion. The Steamboat Wcslfidd blown to atoms Eight Hundred l'rmona on board Men, Woman and Children hurled n the Air 27(6 Scows Baffles VesCriirtion. New York, Juno 30. One of tho most horrible explosions that ever happened iu this vicinity occurred this afternoon at Staten Island ferry, foot of Whitehall street. Tho steamboat Westllcld was lying at tho dock just ready to start for Statcu Island on tho 1.30 p. in. trip. About 800 passen gers were aboard and a number of carriages, wagons, &c. Tho first bell had just rung, when a terrific explosion took place, and tlio sccno of confusion nnd horror which enpued baffles descristion. Tho boiler bnrst, carrying away tho entire portion of tho steamer in front of tho Bleampipo and scattering the debris, on all sides. Men, women, children, horses wagons, boards and Chairs wcro hurled in the air at a tcr rificcd rate. Nothing escaped that was on tho forward portion of tho boat. Tho passenger in tho rear rushed for tho laud ing enmasse, but very few escaped without somo injuries. The sccno was frightful, aud many fainted away from fear. Bodies, debris, and portions of the wreck fell among the passeugcrs, and increased the confusion. Mauy pcoplo fell iu tho river, and being unable to help themselves wcro drowned. The boiling water which was driven from the boiler scattered in all directions, scald ing those who were unable to get out of its reach. The wind was blowing inward at tho time, forcing the water toward tho stern of tho the boat, whero the greater portion of the passengers had lied to. The bodies of the injured wcro taken to the 1st precinct station' house, to tho Park hospital and to Rellcvue. Tho greater number were taken to tho Park hospital, which was soon tilled, and tho doctors ia charge 'vcro forced to scud tho remainder to Rellcvue. Tho screams of tho wounded were heartrending, nnd at tlio hospitals the scenes were terrible to behold. The wounded were lying everywhere, somo in beds, some on blankets, whilo others were walkiug around groaning, moaning and crving. Ti e doctors and surgeons wcro constant ly engaged in allaying tho pain of tho wounded, and have had au extraordinary time of it. Tho vicinity of tho hospital was tilled with people; somo who had lost their children, others their husbands, aud others still drawn merely by curiosity. Later VliculHrs. When the cxplotion took place, the front of the boiler was suddenly blown out and dashed forward, by the forco of tho steamer, thirty fceldislaut, where it imbedded itself. The forward portion of tho steamer was instantly shivered into a thousand pieces aud sauk down. Tho smoko stack giving way at tho samo moment nn immense volume of steam comronnend to riso from tlio hold iu front of the boiler. A moment after tho explosion tho water was alive with struggling human beings, men, wo men and children. Many leaped overboard being panic-stricken, and thinking to save themselves from further evil. Sonic wcro saved by boats which happened to be in the vicinity at tho time of the explosion. Cries of the victims w-ko were scalded by the immense volume of steam aud boiling water which issued from the hold iu front of the boiler wcro heartrending. Harbor police, liiemcn and am bulanco department removed them to the hospitals, alter plac ing temporary dressings upon tlio wounds of those most seriously hurt. Mauy died on their way to the hospitals, while others, becoming delirious from the extreme pain tluy sullcrcd, were placed iu ImhIs in the hospital wards in a raving condition. One umbular.co held a number of young children, whotJ disfigured little faces and closed eyes preseutcd a pitiable aud touch ing si;;ht. Their injuries placed them al most Ix'yond a possibility of recognition. Many of the persons thrown into the water by the explosion saved their lives by clinging to the piles till help arrived, wheu they were taktu oil in boats, but others, whoso injuries wcro more severe, lost strength, aud smik, iu view of the specta tors on shore. Drug stores in tlio neighborhood of the scene were filled to the doors with the wounded sullerers, and numerous medical men rendered excellent service in assisting to relieve. Immediately on Ilia explosion becoming known, imiiii u.-e crowds gathered in tho vicinity of the flattery, and U'foro half an hour elapsed oler 1 l.tMiO pcoplo had as sembled. Many f these had relatives or friends on Imam ti e westtield, and anxious, tearful inquiries w;ro made on every side to ascertain the lute of tliose.

Particulars have been received of the famine in Persia. Tho drought last year In the" central and south ern provinces, and consequent partial fail ure of the crops, caused great destitution and misery all winter. At the tamo time, taxes were increased on the people of La ristan, which brought on a famine, and numbers of people left their homos, and the Govcrnnent lost its usual taxes. Tho new Governor promised to raise not only the usual sura but more, and this op pression drove all the country peoplo from their homes, who thronged tho cites which pay no taxes. The failure of crops in Laris tau was rendered more disastrous because tho other provinces, which mostly raiso opium, cotton, and silk, depended on it for their grain. The result In Ispahan, Yczd, Kirman, and Shiraz wcro terrible. By the ond of winter, and before the new crop, tho cities were crowded. Wheat at Rirman rose to nine times its usual price, and starvation began. Ycjsd raises only opium. Tho pcoplo could buy no grain, and ate grass and roots. In Khorassan the people sold their child ren to tho Turcomans to save their lives, and in other provinces tho pcoplo ate their children, having eaten all their domestic animals and vermin. In Ispahan men wcro caught digging np corpses to feed their starving families, and a pcstilcnco inconsequence committed fearful ravages. One-half of Persia is de populated. NoilTUUM I1EI! L A N O Co. COAL TltADK. All tho collerios iu tho county aro at work except Hclfcnstcin, whoso men havo been out for somo time. Trcvcrton is to be started up to-day on the independent system. Mr. Ratbbun lias obtained a number of miners from Ly kens, and from those collieries around Shamokin that aro working independently. Ho expects to make full timo for tlio re mainder of tho season. At tho monthly conference of miners nnd operators held at Shamokin on Satur day last, the average prico of coal was found to bo $2.52 monthly, a seduction of 10 jicr cent, upon the miners' wages. This decline Is somewhat greater than was ex pected, but as far as wo can learn tho miucrs are living up to their part of tho compact in good faith. Wo honor them for their grit, and hope they may soon feel tho effects of addition iustead of subtraction of percentage. At this meetiug it was agreed that the miners should bo charged S3. 75 for pow der and $1 per gallon for oil. Shamokin llcruM. C'ontiunnicated. Fon Tin? American. CiKEAT HAIL. STOK.1I.
