Okohok Faitimah has been nppointcd
post-master of Philadelphia by the Presi
dent., vlee Gcnornl II. H. Bingtmn re
signed. Hok. Charles R. Bcckalkw has sue
corded in worming liinuclf into the Consti-tuii-in-il
Convention through tho resijjna
lion of a friend of his. A more Inveterate
oilier, seeker than Mn Buckalew is hard to
find in thjs or past generations on the
cartli or under tho cnrlli.
The most singular discovery is that of
the Philadelphia committee to lnv'Aifinte
alleged election frauds. They pretend to
have discovered that Gen. Ilartranft was
not elected Governor of the Rtate. Our
neighbor of the Democrat last week tells the
story to his readers ns an actual fact. We
nra iuclined to thiuk nevertheless Hint Gen.
Ilartranft will be sworn in and Mi the office
for threo years. While the Convention is
sitting they .mijihl nlso investiata the
fraud? committed at iho November election.
They might perhaps find the smnc kind of
frauds.
We print the ofllcial vote of Pennsylva
nia on November 5. Tho figures show
that in this Slate Grant received the great
est or h.s great majorities a majority un
paralleled in the history of tho Common
wealth, if not in the history of the Union.
From Adams, at tho head of the list, down
to little York, at the end, the Democratic
vote fell off in every county, while the Re
publican was increased iu almost all.
Commissioner Douglass, of the Re
venue Department has prepared for sub
iniss'ou to the Ways and Means Commit
tee of Congress, a hV abolishing, on and
after the day of next year, the ofliecs of
assessors and assistant assessors, and im
posing their duties upon collectors or their
deputies. The bill also provides that the

MINION.
To the PcopU qf the United Slates i
The Congress of tbo United States has
enacted that tho completion of the One
Hundredth Year of American Indepen
dence shall be celebrated by an Intornn
tinnal Exhibition of tho Arts, Manufac
tures, and Products of the soil and mine,
to ho held nt Philadelphia, In 1870, nnd
has nppolnted a Commission, consisting of
representatives from each State and Terri
tory to conduct tho celebrntiou.
Originating under the auspices of the
National Legislature, controlled by n Na
tional Commission, and designed as it is to
'Commemorate tho 'first Century of our
existence, by an Exhibition of tho Natural
resources of the Country and their develop
ment, nnd of our progress in thoso Arts
which benefit mankiud, in comparison
with those of older Nations," it is to the
people at Inieo that the Commission look
for tho aid which is necessary to make the
Centennial Celebration the grandest anni
versary the world hns ever seen.
That the completion of the first cct.tury
of our existence should be marked by some
imposing demonstration is, we believe, the
patiiotic wish of the people of tho whole
couutry. The Congress of the United
Srates has wisely decided that tho Uirth
day of the Great Republic tan be most fit
tingly celebrated by the universal collection
anil display of all the trophies of its pro
gress. It ' designed to bring together,
within a building covering aeres, uot
ouly the varied productions of our mines
and of tho soil, but types of all the intellec
tual triumphs of our citizens, specimens of
everything that America can furnish,
whether from tho brains of the, hands of
her children, and thus make evident to the
world the advancement of which a self
governed people is capable,
Iu this "Celebration" all nations will be
invited to participate ; its character being
Intel-national. Europe will display her
arts and manufactures, India her curious
fabrics, while newly opened China nnd
Japan will lay bam the treasures which
for centuries their ingenious pcoplo have
been perfecting. Each land will compete
in generous rivalry for the palm of supe
rior excellence.
To this grand gathering every zone will
contribute its fruits nnd cereals. No min
eral shall be wanting ; for what the East
lacks the West will supply. Under one
roof will tho Nuill: display in rich luxu
riance her growing cotton, nnd tho North
in miniature, the ceaseless machinery of
her mills converting that cotton into cloth.
Each section of the globe will send its best
oll'erings to this exhibition, and each State
of tho Union, as a member of one united
body politic, will show to her sister States
nnd' to the world, how much she can ndd
to the greatness of the nation ot which she
is a harmonious part.
To make the Centennial Celebration such
a success as the patriotism nnd the pride
of every American demands will require

The Island of Uu-en, just opposite, had

On the 11th, inst., tho mail trnin bound
north on the N. C. R. R.. in charge of con
ductor MeNctt, ran into a freight train
which was standing still between Colum
bia cross ronds and Bncdiker's.
There was some fifty passengers on the
mall, fortunately all men. nnd singular to
relate none were Injured, although the
mail was going at n speed of tweuty-flve
miles an hour.
Tho particulars aro nearly ns follows, as
gleaned by your correspondent from Alan
son Buckbee, tho heroic engineer of tho
mail, nnd Arthur C. Ixary, tho conductor
of the freight.
Mr. Buckbee slates that in rounding a
curve about a mile south of Sncdiker's at
a speed of twenty-five miles per hour, ho
saw tho cabooso of a freight trnin about
the length of his train nhead. To all ap
pearances instnnt death awaited him, but
instead of jumping from his engine, like
many would have done under less trying
circumstances, stuck to his post and" In
stnntly applied tho air brakes with full
force and reversed his engine.
Although ho had but a ? hort space to do
it in, his timely exertion saved the pnsscn
ecrenrsfrom being telescoped and many
lives from being lost. His fireman, T. R.
Rathbun, told your correspondent that ho
should have jumped from the ensjue, but
when ho saw' his chief stick to his post he
thought he could do the same. All the
passengers unite iu giving thanks nnd
praise to the lienistu of these two brave
men.
Buck bee's engine is pivltv w-!l smashed
up. The caboose of the freight, train was
smnshed into kindling wood, which was
afterwards used for that purpose. Fortu
nately tho car next to tho caboose was a
very heavy one, loaded wiih nails. This
car'was lilted from its trucks and lay with
its renr end on to the boiler of No. 15, hav
ing run under ns far ns the dome.
The trucks of the caboose nnd freight
car wns shoved ahead and under, one ou

INJURY TO THE COAL Ill'MXESS NY THE
DISEASE.
Pottsville, Pa., Nov. IS. The horse
plague is increasing throughout the coal
region. Advices from thu surrounding
country represent that tho disease is pre
vailing extensively. At Sliamokiu several
collieries have stopped work. Sixteen
cases were reported in ouo mine.
Boston, or its press, which is generally
the mouthpiece of the people, tell the
couutry verv plainly that it needs no help.
Tho '1'mnnmijtt speaks out boldly and to tho
pojnt. 1 1 says the honest truth is t hat , thu
tiro hns caused no suffering which the or
dinary charities of the city are not able and
only too willing to remove. Were the case
otherwise, would Boston have no foolish
pride about receiving aid from its warm
hearted aud generous sister cities."
Considcrabl excitement prevails in the
mining regions, consequent upou a general
strike of the miners for an advance of tea
cents per ton. The operators refuse to
comply with the demand, and il is doubtful
bow long the trouble will continue. Six
teen ruiuts are now idle, all the men in
them having quit work.
