rftoxrsK or Better Times. Evidence
of the approach of better times is accumu
lating, and seems so strong as to leave no
doubt that there will be a favorable turn in
business before the lapse of many weeks
in fact that we are already in the dawn of
better times. - The Xew York Herald pro
nounces all tbc signs of genuine prosperity
auspicious. There are, it says, good tid
ings about tbc harvests ; our wharves are
crowded with ships to export our products
to foreign lands, and the fear that the cot
ton crop would be destroyed is over. Rail
way and other shares, which have long
ruled at tlse rates on account of dishonest
management, watering and adding false
quantities to their values, real estate which
has been bought aud sold so long, not for
what it is worth, but for whatevcre brokers
or speculators could be induced to lend 'on
a margin, are coming to their true value.
Tbe panic was the end of tbe system of false
hood opon which the business was based.
We came down to hard pan. The Troy
Timet informs us that all the stove found
ries in that city are running, some on full
time, others under a slight reduction.
Trade is fair, it says, and there are no pros
pects of tbe foundries shutting down this
season. Pennsylvania iron dealers (con
tinues the Times) say tliat during tbe past
ien days they had more orders for iron than
during tbo previous six weeks. Iron deal
ers in Troy have not had any such experi
ence as yet. They hope for it, however.
And here is home evidence : 'It is rumored
that within the course of a week or so the
working time of the employees in the Al
toona shops will be increased to ten hours
instead of eight, as at prcseut, and six work
ing days will be resumed instead of five.
Again : 'The Lehigh Crane Coal and Iron
Company are about blowing in one of their
furnaces, which is the third now in blast
since they eutirly shut down some time ago.
At the Thomas Iron Company, where
strikes have been threatened for some time
past, it is said the hands have all gone to
work, accepting the present situation.'
The Two Parties Compared. It
may not be amiss, as introductory to tbe
campaign soon to open, to institute acorn
pansion between the Republican and De
mocratic parties. We shall perceive more
clearly the strength of the former as we
compare its general character and record
with those of the latter.
The Republican party (says the Buffalo
Krpress) has, from the first, pursued a
course which demonstrates its fidelity to
the Union, its love of freedom and Usabili
ty to deal with governmental problems,
however complex or delicate, and settle
them in a manner best adapted to conserve
....... . ... . . !
ine interests 01 ine wnoie country wiuiout I
intriguing upon the rights of any particular
part. The Democracy has proved itself to
be the enemy of the Union by its efforts to
rend it into fragments ; of freedom, by its
endeavors to hold millious in hopeless
bondage, and by shameless incapacity and
treachery it has ever shown a disposition
to sacrifice the interests and honor of the
nation to its own selfishness and aggran
dizement Tbe Republican party has redeemed its
pledges to the people by effecting all prac
ticable retrenchment and economy in the
distribution of government expenditures,
showing a saving of many millions of dol
lars to tbe treasury. Tbe Democracy baa
systematically disregarded every promise
it has ever made, ignored all sense of moral
obligation, and has seized every opportuni
ty to enrich itself by wholesale plunder and
robbery of the public chest
The Republican party ha? rendered good
service to the country, and nuiform con
sistency and fidelity to the interests and
honor of the nation, commands andenjtys.
the respect and gratitude of the great mass
of the people. The Itmocracy has done
its best to entail ruin and dishonor on the
nation, and finds itself cast out as an in
famous malefactor by an indignant people
whose confidence it has wantonly abused
and betrayed.
The Republican party, conscious of its
rectitude, courts inspection, and shrinks
from no scrutiny, however severe. The
Democracy dreads the light, lest its true
character should be revciled and its deeds
reproved ; it hides its record in darkness
as a plunderer would his pelf, and weighed
in the balance of a righteous judgment it
is found wanting in everything lhat could
shield it from everlasting execration.
Such are a few points of comparison, or
rather contrast, between the political par
ties as thoy stand before the country to-day,
and when the facts thus presented arc put
to the final test, in the approaching cam
paign, it will bo shown that our estimate
of the relative merits of the respective par
ties will be roundly and triumphantly en
dorsed. Railroad Accidents. Two through
express trains on the New York and Erie
Railroad collided near Canascraga, N. Y.,
at nine o'clock Saturday morning. N.
Van Horn.of N. Y. city, was severely injur
ed; Robert Atkinson, of Jersey City, a
baggage-master, was killed ; R, G. Ilervey,
of Terre-IIaute, president of Uie Paris and
Decatur Railroad, had a collar-bone brok
en. Both locomotives were destroyed.
Charles Lillie, a boy, was struck by an ex
press railroad train, uear North-Elizabeth,
N. J., on Friday evening and instantly
killed. The unfortunate lad had been
playing on the track in front of the ap
proaching train. Near Delhi, Illinois, on
Friday, a child of Frederick Chapman was
run over and killed by a passing railroad
train. Mrs. Chapman oo seeing the mutl
Jated rcroan of her child, lot her reann.

A Dejiocr atic Governmext.- "
one is simple enough to believe any
sal cry of the Democratic lhe univer
change of administration - press that a
to Democratic is der from Republican
tcresta of the co' -lancd by the best iu
the XashvilV -ntry, let them read what
tion of T' - Bulkntin says of the condi
tio it onucKsce, a State under Democra
..ic Tennessee, the Bulletin tells us,
is upon the verge of bankruptcy. The
people arc groaning under a load of taxa
tion. The current expenses of the State are
not paid. Warrants are now outstanding
on the Treasury to the amount of near half
a million of dollars. The money derived
from taxation has been transferred to Xew
York to fill the coffers of the bondholder,
in whose interest the State lias been and is
now being run. The debts due our own
people for services rendered to the Stale are
unpaid. A largo portion of the taxes for
1874 have been collected, and before Janu
ary, 173, the outstanding warrants for the
current expenses of the State will amount
to more than a million. Already 6ix or
seven hundred thousand dollars of the cur
rency have -been sent off to New York to
pay the July interest, aud as much, or more,
will have to be sent in the fall to meet the
January interest."
The conflagration at Chicago, on Tues
day of last week, Btarted at half past four
o'clock, in a paint factory at Twelfth and
Clark streets and burned southwardly, and
was then carried north by a change of wind
into the heart of the city, encroached on
the rebuilt district. At eleven o'clock on
Tuesday night, hundreds of dwellings, the
post-office, Adelphi theatre. First Baptist
church, and several hotels had been burn
ed, and the conflagration continued to rage
until one o'clock in the morning. The fire
destroyed over fifteen blocks of buildings,
covering about sixty acres of ground.
Among the buildings consumed were 344
places of business, 4 hotels, 3 churches and
2 synagogues. The losses arc estimated at
upwards of 4,000,000. Another fire in
the northwestern part of Chicago, on
Wednesday afternoon, destroyed fifteen or
twenty frame buildings, causing a loss of
about 800,000.
Several late dispatches show that Indian
hostilities increase throughout tbo west
CoL Carpenter, of the Sixth Cavalry, has
been wounded, and six of his men killed in
a fight near Fort Sill. After the fight the
Indians killed and mutilated a stage-keeper,
in tbe presence of his wife, whom they car
ried into captivity, and it is believed they
also massacred a party of wood-choppers.
Thirty-five miners in Wyoming have been
attacked by Sioux, aud one of them killed.
In other directions, as far south as Texas,
the Indians are equally hostile.
"Our friend D. C. Dissinger has just re
turned from a visit to Lebanon county, and
brings the highly important intelligence
that the Democrats of that county concede
the nomination of that party for Congress
to this county. As the district is composed
of Dauphin, Lchanon and Northumberland,
the majority for such a nominee couldn't by
any possibility be over 100,000." Xunburtf
Dai'v, of Wednesday last
There is a supposition that Mr. Dissingdr
made a visit to Lebanon for the purpose
of fixing the political wires to secure the
nomination for himself. If you are a can
didate for Congress, David, why don't you
say so.
It now appears lhat previous to the ap
pointment of Mr. Jewell to the jwsition of
Postmaster General, the honor was tender
ed to Hon. John B. Packer, of Sunbury,
Congressman from the Northumberland
district, but was declined by that gentle
man. This action of his is to be very much
regretted, as he is one of the best and ablest
men of his party in this State and would
have made a most efficient officer ; and
would also have given Pennsylvania her
position of having a representative in the
Federal Cabinet. Bloonmbury Columbian.
At last those feminine advocates of total
prohibition in Ohio, known under the ap
pellation of crusaders, have done something
to merit the gratitude of consumers alcoho
lic beverages. In a recent convention these
once enthusiastic, but now methodical and
and practical ladies, formally demanded the
execution of a half-forgotten law of the
" . . A ... , .,
appointment of inspectors to test liquors,
and empowering them to dettroy all that
are adulterated. Governor Allen will be
at once asked to have this enactment car
ried into practical effect, and how he cau
refuse to perform so plain a duty it is diffi
cult to surmise. By the enforcement of a
Pure Liquor law there will be more drink
ing saloons closed in Ohio, one hundred to
one, than were retired from business by the
novel efforts of the well-meaning but over
zealous crusaders.
Divorce suits, where a separation is asked
in consequence of cruel trcatmeut, are usu
ally brought by the wife against the hus
band. In a recent case in New York,
however, this rule was reversed. The
complainant was the husbatid, who charged
his wife with cruel and inhuman treatment,
and so satisfied was the Judge from the
testimony giveu of the truth and gravity
of the complaint, that the divorce was
granted. So it seems that in this as in
other matters, there is an important excep
tion to the rule, and that there are some
times husbaud-bealing wives as well as
wife-beating husbands.
A Terrible Fate.
The Elmira Advertiser gives the follow
ing account of tbc sad accident at Watkins'
Glen, which resulted in the doath of a very
estimable young lady, Miss Ruth Van Et
ten, of Auburn. She came out with an ex
cursion party of a dozeu or more compan
ions, arriving at the Glen about noon. The
accident happened a little above the second
stairway from the entrance to the Glen.
The Glen is narrow at that point with pre
cipitous sides rising many f:et from the
bottom. The pathway is quite narrow,
too, but we should think sufficiently pro
tected by a stout railing to forbid auy fear
of danger or auy thing untoward happening.
Miss Van Etten stood leaning on this
railing looking into the abyss below. In
some unaccountable mauner either some
loose dirt or a slippery stone being the
cause she lost her footing and slid down
between the lower rail of the railing and
the edge of the precipice into the gorge be
low. She first struck on the opposite side,
but bounded back to the same side down
which she fell, a disLmce in all of at least
ninety-five feet. She was litterally dashed
to pieces at the bottom, her neck being
broken and her brains crushed from her
bead. She was taken to her home on the
return boat The young lady is well con
nected and highly spoken of, and her un
toward fate cast a feeling of gloom through
every circle where it was known. She was
about twenty-five years of age.'
Arents Klincken, who came from Hol

good old times when everything was cheap
and plenty.

DISTARDI.Y OUTRAGE.
AN ATTEMPT MADE TO MCRDEU MRS.
IIERING BY MEANS OF AN INFERNAL
MACHINE ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED
CULPRIT.
About five o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
a boy aged about 10 years went to the
residence of Mr. Charles C. nering, No.
006 South Second street and deposited a
paper package on the top of a roll of oil
cloth. He said it was a present for Mrs.
Uering. It was accompanied by the fol
lowing note directed to Mrs. C. C. Hering.
"Philadelphia, July 17, 1874. Mrs.
C. C. Hering : You will have the kind
ness of looking al samples of Venetian
shades rollers inclosed in package. You
will find something very saleable in your
Btore. They are a new paterncd article
which will demand a great call on you in
a few days. You can exhibit the same in
your store free of charge. If not suitable,
return the same to factory, No. 5558 North
Front street
G. W. Esiiler & Co."
Mr. Hering, perceiving that the note was
directed to his wife, hauded it to her. She
said the package looked like a "spite box,"
and refused to touch it.
Mr. Hering opened it in the presence of
all his family with the exception of one
little child, and after removing three or
four wrappers of paper, it proved to bo a
wooden box, with a drawer or sliding lid.
The box was opened, and it was found
to contain three pounds of powder, a piece
of wood in the centre pierced with holes,
filled with matches, the friction Bide being
up and the drawer lid lined with sandpaper,
and made to come in contact with the
matches, and so explode. It was a perfect
miracle that the whole family were not im
mediately killed and the house set on fire,
which would certainly have been the case
had not the lid been removed very cau
tiously. Edward Wagner, residing No. 508 South
Fifth street, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detectives Mears and Joyce, on
the charge of having attempted to commit
the murder. . The accused is a son-in-law
of Mrs. Hering, and the note accompany
ing the box was compared with a bill made
out by Wagner for Mr. Hering, and the
handwriting is almost identical.
It is alleged that Wagner has a grudge
against his mother-in-law for two or three
reasons, one being lhat he wished to go
into business with Mr. Hering, but she
dissuaded her husband from doing so.
Our readers will remember that about a
year ago the residence of Mrs. Hering was
the scene of a brutal murder, another son-in-law,
named Schusterciter, having cut
his wife's throat and destroyed his own life,
having taken corrosive sublimate. It is
alleged that a letter in German was receiv
ed some time ago by Mr. Hering, which
stated that the next murder would be
worse than the first
Wagner will have a hearing at the Cen
tral to-day. rhiladeljihia Inquirer of Tues

Strike the Ilocttile Savages.
Washington, July 21. In connection
with the application of General Sheridan
as to effective operations against the In
dians, the Kiowas, C'omanches, and Chey-
ennes, the Secretary of War has instructed
the General of the Army as follows :
July 20, 1874.
Respectfully returned to the General of
the army, in accordance with the sugges
tions and recommendations received to-day
from the Acting Secretary of the Interior
and Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The
guilty Indians will be pursucded and pun
ished wherever found, and the reservation
lines should bo no barrier to such opera
tions. Care should be taken not to strike
innocent and friendly Indians who are near
the the agency and who have taken no part
in recent forays. Strict measures should
be immediately taken to keep friendly In
dians from the others, and permission be
offered to others who are friendly and have
not had opportunity to join them to come
in. Then, all who persist in hostilities
should be pursued and punished.
The Secretary of the Interior will be im
mediately informed of these instructions,
and a copy of the letter of the Secretay of
the Interior of July 18, enclosing a com
munication from tbc Committee on Indian
Affairs of the same date, received to-day m
will be sent, as soon as copied, to you tor
transmission to General Sheridan.

The BeectierRow Mr. Tilton's New
Departure What Theodore is Go
ino to do-Diptueria-Direct Trade
of toe West with Europe Business
Orangemen The Mayor.
New York, July 21, 1874.
The Tilton-Beecher trouble is, apparent
ly, as far from settlement as ever. The
most curious thing in the matter now, is
the sudden separation of Mrs. Tilton from
her husband. Mrs. Tilton went before the
committee appointed to investigate Mr.
Beechcr, and give her testimony. What
she testified to the committee only know,
but it is understood that she denied dis
tinctly and explicitly that Mr. Beecher
had ever offered her an indignity in short
that the statement of her husband was
false.
At all events, she returned to her home
and told her husband thai in consequence
he had taken, their paths in life would
henceforth be apart, and she left him, pro
bably forever.
Of course, this is all conjecture, but the
probability is that the Beecher party knew
what Mrs. Tilton would testify to, which
accounts for their jaunty confidence in
their ability to crush out Tilton. But what
becomes of Mr. Beecher's confession? me
thinks I hear one ask. Easy enough. Sup
pose the astute Henry Ward Beecher
should affirm that ho signed it under com
pulsion ; or suppose that there is nolbin
direct in it Suppose when it comes to be
read it is found to be, well, anything but a
direct confession of a specific attempt upon
the person of Mrs. Tilton ; and suppose
Mr. Beechcr should swear he never signed
anything of the kind. It strikes me he has
the Tilton DeoDle. At least he has them
bo far as Plymouth Church is concerned,
for those people are bound to believe in
him anyhow.
There is another thing Mr. Beecher can
dd. Suppose when he gives in his testi
mony he is asked, "What about that con
fession which you gave Tilton, in which
you wished you were dead?" He will
probably answer : "Theodore was at that
time running very wild. He was having
affairs, as was supposed, with various wo
men, and Mrs. Tilton came to me for ad
vice. Believing that the reports were true,
I did advise her to a course which, as I af
terwards found, was unjust to Theodore.
Therefore 1 made him the apology which
he has since published. My zeal for Mrs,
Tilton did get me into an awkward posi
tion."
This story Mr. Beecher's friends are cir
culating at this time. One thing may be
depended upon, viz : if the thing is possi
blc, Mr. Beecher will be completely exon
erated by the committee. They will not
bring him in guilty of anything.
The Tilton family have seen a great deal
of Trouble. Theodore is an excitable, im
petuous, impulsive man, who has wander
ed after a great many strange gods, and
a few strange goodnesses. It 4s said at the
time he was standing side by side with the
Woodhull faction that he was accustomed
to take the Woodhull to his house, despite
the tearful protests of his wife, and insist
upon her being recognized as a woman fit
for the companionship of any woman on
earth. This it is justice to him to Bay he
denies. But it is true, beyond question,
that he was infatuated with tbe doctrines
of the woman, if not with the woman her
self, and that that fact, judiciously aud
skillfully managed by his mother-in-law, a
lady of very certain temper, made his homo
an uncomfortable place. Theodore felt
that he was acting upon principle in giv
ing countenance to the Woodhull, while
Mrs. Tilton felt that giving her any counte
nance whatever, was an outrage ; and the
mother-in-law, who possesses enormous
capacity for trouble, raged between tbo
two, serenely happy in the row that was
developing.
Then Beecher got into it. It was charged
by Tilton that he attempted to outrage his
wife, and another clement of discord was
hurled into the already shaken home. Til
ton and his friend Moulton compelled a
document from Beecher confessing his
guilt (the same, a portion of which was re
cently published by Tilton) and a settle
ment of troubles, financial and moral, was
effected between Beechor, Bowen aud Til
ton. Mrs. Woodhull was sent to the right
about, and it did seem as though every
thing would co on serene.
But Dr. Bacon and Plymouth Church
would not let Theodore alone. They want
ed him out of the way, and to that end
they kept continually poking sharp sticks
al him. Theodore is not the man to poke
sticks at, sharp or otherwise. He has
trick of turning and pushing with the
horn, and fearfully sharp horns he carries.
He did turn and did gore not only the pur
suers, but the man whose good name the
pursuers wanted to shield. His mistake
was in not punching deep enough. I am
satisfied he has it in his power to strike a
deadly blow at Mr. Beecher, and if he did j
anything, that is what he should have ,
done.
But Beecher decided to brave Theodore,
and this gives him this opportunity. The
plucky Tilton has given notice that in a
few days he will make a sworn statement
of the exact facts in the case, and that he
will mash Mr. Beecher completely.
Mrs. Tilton's action is regarded as very
curious and queer, for it is understood that
it was from her lips that Mr. Tilton first
gathered knowledge of tbe outrage. Alto
gether it is a queer mess, and our advice
is wait coolly and calmly a few days. Til
ton must either kill Beecher or be killed
himself. He is in a position where noth
ing but blood will answer. Wait and see
whose head rolls in the sand.
IIEALTn.
Now that the hydrophobia scare is fairly
off, New Yoik is getting into a fright over
dypthcria. The papers are calling atten
tion to the fact that while London averages
about six deaths from diptheria per week,
New York, with about one-fourth its popu
lation, looses thirty-three. The physicians
say it will increase unless the disease-engendering
filth of the lower part of the city
is cleansed out and new, clean, healthful
sewers constructed in their stead. But as
New York has to have some disease, why
not diptheria ? Until the city is about as
good as rebuilt in the matter of sewers,
and until the abominable system of over
crowding in tenement houses is done away
with, New York will never be without an
epidemic. Men, women and children can
not live like swine without paying the
penalty.
THE SCHOONER BENSON,
which sailed from Toledo, Ohio, direct to
Cork, Ireland, with a cargo of corn, has
arrived 8afely, making tbe voyage in thirty
days a rather quick trip. The news pro
duced a sensation on the Produce Ex
change. She carried out about 28,000
bushels of corn, and made an excellent
profit on the voyage. The query among
the merchants here now is : If Toledo,
Chicago and Milwaukee can send their
grain direct to Europe, via the Lakes- and
the St Lawrence, and load back, what is
New York going to do for this very im
portant business ? The lack of facilities
for handling grain in this city, tbc infernal
robberies committed upon shippers, and
the general worry and trouble of getting
grain through New York has driven . a
large share of the trade to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Boston, and now comes
this new departure, which threatens the
rest of it. Gentlemen merchants of New
Y'ork, what you have to do is to enlarge
the Eric Canal, remove the tolls and other
impediments in the way of trade, erect ele
vators sufficient to handle the grain econo
mically, and have some system in the bu
siness. Otherwise the trade will leave you
as sure as fate.
THE MAYOR.
Some days since it looked as though the
Governor would relieve the city of one of
its greatest troubles by the removal of
Havemeyer from the Mayoralty, but as hia
term is short he will probable permit him
remain. It is claimed that the Mayor is
actually insane, and his acts give color to
the claim . If he is not insane, he is the
most pig headed, stupid man that ever
lived. Elected as a Reformer he has play
ed perpetually into the hands of the ring,
and has openly affiliated with them. He
is very old and is probably somewhat de
ranged. This theory of going to grave
yards for officials never did answer. The
citizens will know' their man next time.
A HOPEFUL SIGN.
Our Catholic Irish citizens do not rule
New York as much as they did. Tbe
Orangemen paraded the streets on the an
niversary of tbe Battle of the Boyne Water,
and were not molested. Possibly our Irish
friends have come to recognize the fact
that Protestants have some rights in
America, and that St Patrick is not a
greater man than the Fourth of July after
all. The Orangemen are gratified, and we
have no doubt that cool-headed Catholics
feel better than they would had a riot oc
curred.' BUSINESS
is a little duller, if possible, than when 1
last wrote, but the business men feel bet
ter. They know, now, that there is going
to be no business till fall, and they have
quit worrying about it They have re
duced their expenses to the minimum, and
are sailing lazily along under bare poles,
till such time as the revival comes. They
expect a good business in the fall, for the
reason that the people must buy sometime.
They doubtless will not be disappointed.
