Troubles arc brewing anion;: the Demo
cracy of New Jersey. It appears that a
secret meeting of the Democratic leaders
of that State is to be held at an early date,
for the purpose of "fixing up things" in
which, however, there is nothiug particu
larly 6trangc, less than a dozen men hav
ing made the nominations of that party in
that State for the past fifteen or twenty
years. This year, however, there seems to
be an unwonted freedom of political action
among the rank and file, and some of the
papers are threatening that if the manipu
lations of the manager's don't suit, there
will be a general kicking over the traces,
even if things should thereby go to smash.
Altogether, there is a promise of quite a
lively Democratic funeral in New Jersey,
next Xovember.
Skvkral papers in the Eastern States,
arc regarding the chances of President
Grant's re-election for a third term, a pos
sibility. They certainly cannot understand
the sentiment of the people on th"is subject
Custom, at times stronger than law, has
limited the occupancy of the Presidential
chair by one man two terms. An effort to
hold it longer would be regarded as an
usurpation, and would be signally rebuked.
If President Gratt, through the sycophan
cy and flattery of the men about him, has
in any manner gotten the idea into his head
that he can be re-elected for a third term,
we oeg of him, fur the sake of his good
name, to thrust it away at once.
And if he should, unhappily which we
cannot believe harbor the thought that
the money-bag men of the rountry can keep
him in power, he will find what a delusion
he li:is cherished. Should the issue come
between the power of wealth and the power
of the jtcople, which would be the case
should the President again be a candidate,
the farmer would, politically, be ground to
powder.

a few days ago, and were kindly received.
Speeches were made, sympathizing with
the Holy Father in his troubles, and con
demning "the tyrannical persecutions of
the Church of braggarts false to liberty and
estranged from God." The Pope replied,
expressing great pleasure with the marvel
ous development of the true faith in the
New World, and yet regretting that "false
religion prevailed on a large part of that
continent, and we must pray for the restor

had made their usual reports to tlie Chief
of Police in Philadelphia on Monday last.
Mayor Stokley called them before him and
made some remarks upon the subject of
wiling liquor on Sundays. He 6aid that

he noticed that many taverns were ojtcn
arid doing business. In some places he
could see from the street men engaged in
drinking at the bar. This, he said, was defy
ing the law and the proper authorities. He
therefore issued instructions to the lieuten
ants to go out with the sergeants on Sunday
evening next, go through their districts,
and where they see taverns or saloons open
ly engaged in doing business, to endeavor
to collect evidence enough to take the pro
prietors into Court and make them amena

hold each of the lieutenants responsible for
I he proper observance of the Sunday law
in (heir respective districts.

The N. Y. Herald thinks that the politi
cal preponderance of New York State is be
coming so great that it will soon be said
that "As New York goes so goes the Un
iou." The Herald U very much mistaken
in this, as coming elections will convince
it. For the past twelve years the East has
exerted more influence on the country than
it will ever do again. The editors, capi
talists and politicians of that section have
been extremely short-sighted in their pub
lic course, the past year, and have given a
fatal blow to eastern supremacy. We shall
be agreeably mistaken if they have uot laid
the foundation for the combination of other
sections that will cause the pillars of the
political power of the East to crumble
about the heads of men who in the pride of
their money and influence imagine that
they are beyond the reach of the people.
The municipal authorities of Salt I-ake
City, the Mormons, in fact, have had a tilt
with the military authority of the United
States on the question of arresting soldiers,
and have been beaten. In a case that
came up where a magistrate of the Terri
tory refused to deliver up a soldier who
was imprisoned. General Morrow, acting
on his decision of the Judge Advocate and
his own sense of duty, sent a company of
cavalry, battered down the prison door and
and released the man. The Mormons, it
appears, were stunned by this exercise of
federal authority, but the Gentiles and
those w ho arc chafing under the Mormon
rule rejoiced.
It is predicted by the Master of the
Pennsylvania State Grange, whose session
at Mechanicsburg closed last Saturda',
that the Commonwealth would have fully
a thousand granges next January, with a
membership of over fifty thousand. That's
all right ; the farmers have no legitimate
grievances which the Republican party is
not able and willing to redd reus.

in a mountain field. The snake came glid

high as his chin, he struck it with his hand.
He then made for a stick, aud the snake
intimidated by the blow it had already re

to renew the attack. Mr. Suook called the
dogs from the house, and the snake attack

away but the smaller one caught hold of it
by the tail, when the other returned aud
took it near the head, tugging away until
they tore it iu two. It was about eight

The DciVittrtl Currency Hill.
The conference report on the Currency
bill was iicalcii so badly in the House, ou
Saturday last, as to extinguish the last ray
of hope as to any bill being sent to the
President, this session.
The first hill, which was vetoed by the
President, passed the House by 14it yea.s
to 102 nays ; of the majority there were 32
Democrats, and of the minority about the
same number, but the provision iu the con
ference bill party retiring legal tenders as
new bank currency is issued, stamjicdcd
the Democrats from it, and not oue voted
yea, and the result was thus reversed, and
it was lost by 141 nays to 108 yeas.
There was a number of Republicans who
voted nay on the former bill who voted yea
ou this as a compromise measure, and a
nuuilier who voted for the former who
would not vote for this ou account of the
provisions for resuming tpecic payments iu
1878, as they think that provision would
hang like a dark cloud over the depressed
industries of the country until that time,
aud accomplish nothing but trouble.
For the other bill, General Rutler alone,
from the New Engiaud delegation, voted
"aye," and this time he voted "uo" with
them. New York, which voted solid
against the former bill, gave three votes for
this.
PENNSYLVANIA'S VOTE.
Pennsylvania voted on the vetoed bill as
follows : 14 ayes, 11 noes ; '2 absent. Ou
the last bill, 14 ayes, 8 noes ; 5 absent.

The noes were : Randall, Clymcr, Spcer,

The absentees were Republicans, Taylor,

When the roll had been called there were
ll'.i noes and 1)1 nyes, aud no Democrats
having voted for it, and the President hav
ing been senii-oflicially announced as being
determined to veto it, the majority was
largely iucreased.

Capture oflhc Williamsport Inerii-diaricM.
Eight, young men of Williamsport have
been arrested by the police on the charge
of having been engaged in starting many
of the recent lires in that city. Thr nntnes
of the parties arrested aiv as follows:
William Slmltz, .las. Parker, Wanvn Mc
ginness, Elijah Real, Robert Tinsman, a
3'oung man named Calluclush, Alonzo
Parker and .las. Ryerbach. The. prelimi
nary examination was held in the Court
House on Tuesday, lie fore Daniel Kepasz,
Esq., the city being represented by II.' C.
Parsons, Esq. The arrests are the result
of a determined effort on the part of his
Honor, Mayor Powell, ably assisted by the
Politt! force and special officers Boyd Wilk
iuson and Robert Smith to bring the of
fenders to justice.
The testimony of Mayor Powell and
special officer Wilkinson as given by the
(luzttte and Ihdktin, to whom we arc in
debted for the data iu this article, tells the
whole story and is as follows :
Mayor Powell was the lirst witness call
ed. Upon ti e Kith of May, immediately
after his election to the position of Mayor,
he instituted plans for the detection of the
incendiaries, and employed as a sjiecial offi
cer, Boyd Wilkinson : I?obert Smith was
also employed, the latter reporting to Offi
cer Mar ley, and the former to the witness ;
this was to prevent suspicion. Through
the system he inaugurated he gained infor
mation so definite that he was frequently
apprised of attempts that were to be made
for the destruction of buildings ; he (the
witness) had slept iu hay mows and among
the lumlier piles for the purpose of delect
ing these parties. lie knew the barn of
Mrs. McGraw, on Elmira street, was
singled out went there and found matches.
A package shown which his Honor col
lected there.J After the prisoners were
arrested he held conversations with them,
in the presence of the Chief of police. Me
ginness confess -d to being one of the par
ties engaged in setting theWatson barn on
fire ; also the P. & E. car shop, Seminary
barn, and as being a party in the attempt
on the barn of Mr. Rowley ; Shultz admit
ted as being concerned with Mcgiuness at
the P. & E. shops also Parker aud Calli
clush ; Tiusman's boy and Meginness fired
the Tinsman barn. Tinsman also admit
ted being with Miginness at the Walson
barn ; they described how they tired build
ings ; one said he visited Foresman's barn
twice before Saturday night last.
Royd Wilkinson next testified : Resided I
in this city ; was 24 years of age ; was ap
pointed a special about four weeks ago ;
lie worked in the good graces of Miginness,
and learned from him that he was ring
leader; through Meginness he came in con
tact with the test of the party ; Meginness
said he had set on fire the engine house and
railroad shops, aud that Shultz and Parker
were with him ; they tired Robe's store, ou
Fourth street, twice, and also attempted
McCormick's barn ; one of the number
claimed that he had been interested in
seventeen fires eleven of which was suc
cessful ; one night he said to Miginness,
where shall the fun be to-night ? and he
replied, "we will tackle the Reaver Mill
lumber yard." Witness knew just what
places were to be fired on Saturday night
last, among which was the gas house,
Foresman's "barn, and a barn on Elmira
street ; they went up to Foresman's and
laid in the tall grass about two hours; they
were finally interfered with by Otticer
Flynn, who came up that way ; upon their
return, matches were thrown into the barn
on Elmira street ; one of the party remark
ed that if it didn't go oil' they would try
McCormick's; upon reaching the Ameri
can Hotel the witness feared that the barn
on Elmira street would be cotisumed, and
other property jeopardized, and going
within informed Homer Martin, requesting
him to go up and watch it, and put it out
if it got started ; in relation to McCormick's
barn it was found locked, aud then matches
were thrown in Rowley's; the witness was
in the habit of communicating with the
Mayor, and kept him posted iu relation to
what was going ou.
Each of the prisoners were held iu .10-,

Warm Work Ahead lor Custer.
St. Paul, Minx., June 10. A telegram
was received at General Terry's headquar
ters to-day from General Custer, at Fort
Lincolu, slating that a small parly of Sioux
appeared on the river bank, opposite Fort
ISerthold Agency, the morning before, at
7 o'clock, and commenced firing into the
village. The Indians from the agency at
once crossed the river, and were met by
about 400 Sioux, and a short fight ensued,
in which five Recsanu ouo Grosventre were
killed and oue Mandau mortally wounded.
This is doubtless the party who have been
threatening for some time Rerthold Ageucy.
The Indiaus at Fort Lincoln, and a party
of Auckarees and Maudaus, who have just
returned, are wild with excitement, and
the Indian scouts can hardly wait General
Custer's movements, they are so eager
for blood, and scalps, and revenge, but
they will not have long to wait, as Custer's
cavalry expedition is nearly ready to leave
Foit Lincoln, the fiual preparations having
been completed by ollicers of the 7tU Caval
ry, now iu this city. General Custer ex
pects to move ou next Sunday, but may
start earlier iu cousequence of this news.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER THE TWENTY
SEVENTH VICTIM.

A special from Pes Moines, Iowa, says
there is intense excitement over the mur
der committed there ou Saturday night.
John Johnson, a tailor, was always re
garded as a quiet man, employed at the
tailoriug establishment of E. P. Chase &
Co. He was about 50 years of age. He
was found lying iu a gutter, face down
ward, his skull broken in, and his head
gashed in a frightful manner.
Near the body was found an envelope
containing a peicc of paper, on which was
written : "This is the twcnly-seveuth man
we have killed, and we will never be taken
alive." Robbery is supposed to have been
the incentive to the deed, as the victim's
watch and pocket-book was gone.

Rhubarb Vinegar. Drain off the first
water from rhubarb when it has slewed five
minutes ; evaporate it to the requisite de
gree of sourness and use it instead of vine
gar for the table and for cooking. It is an
agreeable acid, and iu many cases it can
be used iustead of lemon. It is a natural
acid, aud therefore much more wholesome
than vinegar formed by the decay of sweets,
or by auy other chemical process. It may
be evaporated (by gentle heat) to an in
tense degree of sourness, and kept in cans
or in bottles for future use, and reduced
with water when wanted.

other girls of about her own age, was play
ing there, when she ventured too far and
fell a distance of probably one hundred feet,
and landed on the railroad of the Blooms
burg Irou Company, stuuncd and consider
bly bruised, but no bones were broken. This
occurred on Mouday evening, and Mr.
McMelvy reports that she is doing well and
will probably recover. This child seems
to lie fated with falls. When but an infant
she fell from a third story window, and
afterward from a high porch, and a little
girl, one of her companions at tho time she
fell, assured us that there was no cause for
alarm, saying that she was used to it, hav
ing ofteu fallen before anil never been kill

as valuable as people say it is, no family

there is an ache, sprain, cut, bruise, cough
or cold.

OI K XEW YORK LETTER.
ONE GOOD RICH WOMAN WHAT SHE DOES
WITH HER MONEY DULL TIMES THE
SUMMER MIGRATION BIDDY THE
WEATHER.
New York, .7ie 10, 1S74.
ONE GOOD RICH WOMAN.
We read iu Holy AVrit that it shall be
easier for a camel to pass through the eye
of a needle than for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven. I presume this ap
plies to women as well, and I am iu no
mood this morning to dispute the assertion.
The care of my estate so worries me that I
am seldom in a Christian frame of mind.
Nobody knows the anxieties attendant
upon great wealth. Mr. Vanderbilt and
I weep over it hours together.
Rut there is one exception to this rule.
I know of one woman who has great wealth,
who will, when Azracl waves his dark
pinions over her head, go straight to hea
ven, and by the shortest possible route ;
and her name is Stokes, the wife of Anson
Phelps Stokes, of the great house of Dodge
& Co.
Mrs. Stokes has the enjoyment of exceed
ing great wealth. She might, if she chose,
be the finest and most useless woman in
New York ; she could dawdle in purple
and fine linen ; she could loll in carriages ;
she could cover herself with diamonds ;
she could live from day to day in luxurious
self-indulgence, and die, finally, leaving no
soul behind to mourn her going. All this
is being done by thousands of line ladies in
the circles iu which she moves and adorns
Rut Mrs. Stokes does not happen to be
one of that kind, and I fervently thank
Heaven for it. She is a strong, active wo
man, full of the noblest impulses and the
broadest love for her kind. She has a mag
nificent house up-town, and a more mag
nificent residence on that gem of the sea,
stivUm Island. Ou that island she has had
an immense building erected, which is in
its way a sort of an asylum. Now see
what one good woman can do with money.
The charities of New York shelter and har
bor thousands upon thousands of homeless
orphan children, and during the summer
they sutler iu their necessarily close quar
ters. Mrs. Stokes takes seventy of these
waifs at a time down to her home on the
Island this being the capacity of the build
ing aud keeps them there a week. They
have the freshest aud best fruits, milk from
her own cows, and the best of everything
that the market can furnish. Ou the ex
tensive grounds swings are erected, play
grounds are arranged, and the children en
joy not only the pure air of heaven and the
best of food, but all sorts and kinds of in
nocent and healthful pleasure. Their weeks
up, they arc returned, and another seventy
are takeu down, all at her own expeusc.
And this thing goes ou from the time hot
weather beings till the cold autumn makes
it unnecessary, this good, kind woman
superintending it all.
Would that wealth always fell into such
hands ! Would that there more such rich
women in New York, and everywhere else !
Would there were more women who could
so honestly wear the title "lady." Talk
about position making the "first lady."
Thousands of poor neglected children will
in the days to come rise up and say ''blesss
ed" of this woman, whose goodness was
their first ray of sunshine.
DULLNESS.
The city is dull to a degree never known
before. There is no business, positively
none. There is no buying, no selling, for
the reason that the farmer has no money
to pay the country dealer ; the country
dealer has no money to buy of the jobbers,
and the jobbers' goods consequently lie on
their shelves or remain hidden in boxes.
The hotels were never so empty, and hotel
proprietors never looked so blue. Indeed
it has come to a point where a hotel clerk
will actually give the weary traveler who
seeks rest a civil word. By this you may
imagine how much they want to see people.
And the trouble is, no one can prophesy as
to the duration of this stale of things.
"Wheu will business revive is the query,
the answer always being, "The Lord ouly
knows." No human can tel', for there was
no apparent cause for its beginuing. The
country was strong and sound in Septem
ber last, yet in a week a panic swept over
the country like a tornado, prostrating the
s trongest houses, unrootiug the most firmly
established credits, and with its long
fingers reaching down to the most humble
people. For it has affected the most hum
ble. With the suspension of busiuess every
thing suspended. There i no building,
and tiie builders are out of woik. The
consumption of every thing that goes into
the bowels (except wiskey) is lessened, and
the coopers are idle. Men wear their boots
longer, aud the shoemakers are on their
oars ; in short, it is distress, and nothiug
but distress. It goes even to the beggars.
One placid looking, old blind beggar who
has a seal on Fulton St, told me yesterday
that the panic had ruined him. His col
lections he said with a whine, had dropped
to 8:1 per day, but he would't care so much
about that, but rents had fallen 30 per
cent, and he had two houses and three
stores empty, even at this reduction. The
old fellow has sat on a sidewalk, aud had
enough pennies dropped iuto his hat to
make a fortune, which, by judicious in
vestment, has swelled to a fortune.
THE SUMMER.
Summer is on us at last. The sun is
now hurling its rays direct upon the city,
heating the pavements, heating the build
ings, heating humanity, heating animality.
A great city is terribly hot when it is hot
The tall buildings not only retain heat, but
they prevent the free circulation of air that
would otherwise mitigate it. Then the ten
thousand distinct odors the smell to heaven
make it unhealthy as well as disagreeable.
Consequently all of New York that can
get out gets out Away to the mountains,
to the sea-side, to springs, to every earthly
place where fresh air and trees are to be
found the New Yorker and his wife and
daughter goes. The theatres, such as are
kept open, are half filled with people from
the country and the few desolate men who
cannot get away. Houses are locked up,
and inhabited only by the one domestic left
in charge. This is Biddy's great .time.
For when "Missus" goes to the "counthry"
Biddy is left to take care of the house.
Don't her "cousins" have a good time
though I When Missus is at home Biddy
has got to give her parties in the kitchen,
and she is liable to constant interruption.
But in the summer it is different. Missus
is three hundred miles away, and Biddy is
supreme in the house. No kitchen for her
now ; the parlors are not good enough,
Dinnis, Pathrick, Teddy the divil, and all
the rest of them, with other Biddys, assem
ble in the parlors in the evenings and enjoy
high life in dead earnest. Refreshments
arc spread in the dining-room, and such a
time is had as the "Mistress" never dream
ed of. It is well. Why shouldn't they
have their innings ? Possibly, many of
these houses never see so much of genuine
honesty and jollity when its lawful proprie
tors are running it And it is a question
whether the masters and misausscs in the
watering places enjoy themselves more than
the Dinnises and Biddys do in the vacant
houses.
THE WEATHER
is gorgeous. It got very hot laet week,
but a succession of magnificent thunder
storms cleaned and purified the atmos
phere, and lowered the thermoneter to a
living point It is fresh and good, and ex
isting is now a pleasure. May it continue,
