It was soon ; found that he was the right man for the ! position. A second and third nomination j was pressed on Lim in the same manner, j andhadhe consulted his own interests in the matter he would have declined, but his disposition to serve the people's interest in preference to bis own induced him to accept, and he wa, elected by increased i majorities. During bis several terms in i Cougress as our representative, all will ad-. mit that the longer be serves us the more j position that enables him to exercise his influence and usefulness for the benefit of his conslituents. ' It is the duty of the people at all times i to s nd the best statesmen to frame our laws and guard our interests. The ques tion of protection to our coal and iron will need constant watching, and there are few men better acquainted with those interests than Mr. Packer. Ilis large experience, and the houorable position he holds in our national council, will convince any one, no matter how humble in life, that he can not be spared from the councils of our free government at this time, when there is danger that the interests of our business men, mechanics and laboring men of the country are liable to be assailed. All know that be is the poor man's friend, and that he will, as he always has done, stand up and defend with ability, the rights of ihe laboring classes. The coal, iron and other products of our State need a guardian for their protection, and but few men are better qualified far the position than Mr. Packer. We therefore expect that the people in his district will urge him to con sent to serve them in Congress for a fourth term. We know that it is not to his indi vidual benefit, and were he to cousull his own interests he would decliue, but "as the ollice should seek the man, and not the man the office," we hope he will accede to the earnest wishes of the people in the whole district, aud again become a candi date for re-election. The Republican Convention on thc l'.Uh, was the largest in size of any ever held in the State. It was composed of two hun dred and fifty members, each of the fifty senatorial districts in the State being re presented by oue member, and two hun dred representative delegates. The nom inations then made, we are happy to learn, receive the hearty approval of every sound Republican in the htate. the size ot tne convention was such as to render it almost unwieldy in iu proportions and yet thc best order and good feeling prevailed dur ing the entire session. The friends of the numerous candidates were earnest in the interest of their several favorites, and yet when the nomination had been made, and the strength of the aspirants tested by vote, the decision of the convention was accepted in good faith, and the f riends of the defeat ed candidates were the first to move the unanimous endorsement of the whole con vention. Never was there a Slate ticket put in the field which gave such entire sat isfaction as the one nominated, and received such a unanimous endorsement by thc press. The men who have been nominated for the diflercnt offices are honest and faith ful old public servants who have been tested cither on the lench, in our legislative de liberations, or in front of the battle for the !ifc of the nation, and always found true as steel to the great principles which they re present We are pleased to notice the enthu siasm with which the resolutions are re ceived by the people. Thc endorsement of Gov. Hartranft as the choice of this State lor President, is a fitting rebuke to the parly who so unjustly maligned and traduced him when a candidate for Governor. With such a ticket as was nominated backed by a popular platform that is acceptable to all, there is no doubt of success at the polls by a majority that will convince our Demo cratic contemporaries, that the revolution has not struck the Keystone State this year, aud that a display of sickly roosters will not be in demand. Are You Assessed ? If not, recollect, that after Tnc 3d of September it will I, too late. The Xew Constitution requires that every voter must be assessed two mouths, (00 days), and have paid a state or county tax thirty days before the day ' the election, before be can vote.

The Philadelphia press is uuaniiuous in commending the ticket. The evening LlUtii says : 'It is not often that the Republican party has presented a stronger ticketto thc i-o-ple of Pennsylvania.' The eveniug Teh'jrqh says : 'Comnosed of such names, the ticket is an unexceptionable one, and, presented by a party that never was more solidly united, it will achieve a brilliant triumph. Thc Renublicau part v. in nominating such a i ticket, has recognized the obligation rest ing upon it to promote the cause of good government by every means in its power and the people will once more aninn the ir confidence in its integrity and patrotism by electing its nominees by ovcrwhclmiig majorities.'

The ne groes near Sellers' premises fired ou a party of whites in Brown's building, on the corner above spoken of, but the fire was returned, and the skirmish between ihe parties was kept up till thc time thc messenger left. Two negroes were shot, and, it is supposed, were killed. No other casualties are known. ANOTHER ACLOI'NT OF SATFIIDAY'S AF FRAY. Cincinnati, August 23. A special de spatch to the Ouzette, from Danville, Ky., gives the following account of last night's troubles at Iancaster. A party from Lin colu couuty, and the Kennedy party, commenced firing on negroes who occupied Sellers' property, aud from all we can learn the negroes did no firing. They were forti fied in Sellers' house, and occasionally came out to reconnoitre. The whiles were under command of Sheriff Saunders, of Lincoln county, who had his forces sur rounding Sellers' property. About four o'clock the wood and coal houses immedi ately back of Sellers' residence were ignited by lire balls. The houses were in clusc proximity to the main building, to which the flames soon communicated. Town Marshal Mil ler and other citizens protested against firing thc house, but without effect. THE UNITED STATES TROOPS. Miller called upon Captain Fletcher, in command of the United Statos troops, to assist him in protecting the building from fire, but the request was not heeded until the llames had control of the main build ing. About six o'clock Fletcher marched his forces to the public square. After his arrival a consultation Was held between him and Saunders, commander of the white men's party, and it was agreed that if Saunders would withdraw and dis arm his men, Marshal Miller, with the as sistance of the United States troops, would demand the surrender of the negroes, and the latter were to be placed under protec tion of the troops as prisoners. At this lime the fire in the maiu buihl ing of Sellers' house was beyond control, and the whites stationed around the house were withdrawn, except a small party, who were stationed in Waldon's house, northeast from Sellers'. Marshal Miller, with Saunders, marched dovvu in front of Sellers' house, aud called upon the negroes to come out and give up their arms. A l.I.OOD Y MISUNDERSTANDING. Ten negroes came running to the front gate, with guns and pistols iu their hands, aud some of the troops, not understanding tlx-ir intentions, called upou them not to come out of thc yard, at the same time leveling their guns at the negroes. Marshal Miller in the meantime kept continually cal'ing on the negroes to lay down their arms. Amid the intense excitement which prevailed a shot was fired from au unknown source, followed by a volley, aud the sol diers, supposing they were being fired on by a parly in Ihe rear, turned and fired iu that direction. The firing then became general aud last ed several minutes, which was followed by thc soldiers retreating with twenty-five negioes and three whites they had cap tured. THE CASUALTIES. The following are casualties : Killed Foley (white), Doc Read and another nc gro,.name unknown ; Ward (white), with Sellers' party, and W. H. White, of Ken- nedy's party. The wounded are Henry Singleton (white), Walker Laudram (white) and a negro, name unknown. Two hun dred and fifty .Slate troops have arrived, and, with the United Slates troops, expect to preserve the peace.

These works were erected immediately after the burning of their smaller shops on June 17, 1S72. Thc flames spread rapidly, and, owing to thc great size of the buildings, the lire department was unable to get the fire un der immediate control. The firemen finally turned their attentiou to thc place where the buildings joined one erected four years ago, and here stopped the fire. The latter contained thc greater portion of the ma chinery, which were all removed and saved from damage by water. The heat was so intense that the Lake Shore and Michigau Southern freight aud and passenger depots were iu emminent danger. Trains were delayed for some four hours. Owiug to thc absence of wind the il.uucs were prevented from spreading ; lo buildings in the immediate vicinity. j The works contained over 2,00 finished j wagons, besides vast quantities of stock in process of manufacture.

Thc Studebaker company employed in their simps upwards of 1500 hands who are thrown out of employment temporarily. Thc carriage works of the same company are situated iu another part of the city and are all right. A call has been issued for a meeting this evening for an expression of public sympathy for the sufll-iers by thc disaster. The Outraged Osagcs. Washinotov, Aug. 25. Colonel Adair, of the Cherokee Nation, arrived here to-day iu the interests of the Osage Indians, and had a long interview with the Commissioner on Indian Affairs. He is direct from the Osage Nation, and says the fears of hostilities by thc Osages against Kansas, as recently expressed by thc Governor of that State in a telegram to President Grant, are groundless, nor is it true that those Indians have recently, in council, declared war. Adair relates that the Osages are the ag grieved party ; about twenty of them were on a bul'UIo hunt west of the Arkansas river, and ou their return they saw in the distance several hundred soldiers, when two Indians were dispatched to ascertain the reason for the appearance of the troops. These Iudians were captured, aud there fore not returning to their friends, four more were sent forward to learn what had become of their companions, aud they too were ciptuied, together with four more who hal been sent on a similar errand ; thus one-half of the hunting party fell into the hands of the troops. The other In dians vcre beckoned away by the captives, four of whom were killed, but Colouel Adair t'oes not know the particulars of the tragedy or the cause's which led to it. In reply to the request of the Governor of Kansas for arms and ammunition to be used iu defending the southern border of Osage I.idiaus, the Secretary of War states iuview of the fact that the State was fur nished Li July last with 500 carbines aud 50,0i() lounds of ammunition, on which ac count tbe State is still indebted to the gen eral government, he. does nol feel authorized to grant the request. Correspondence. OIU MAV YO!lK I.KTTa.K. KEEt HF.:t-TILTUN A REV. SCOUNDREL CRIME IlT'SINESS CHEAP HOTELS WEATHER TRAINING SCHOOLS KOR WOMEN. New York, Aj. 25, 1S71. 1 1 E EC II E R- T I LTO N . luce more, please. I must give you the drift of opinion here concerning this Brob ingdignagian scandal- take that as my ex cuse. At this time the tide is setting strongly against Theodore, aud (so fickle is public opinion) were the verdict lobe made up to-day it would be terribly against him, Beechcr's statement has been read and re read, and the wonderful adroitness with which he makes his case, ami the magnifi cent style of his defence, have had their proper effect. Half the people to-day will say that Beecher has acted foolishly, not criminally : that Tiltou is either a mono maniac or a designing villian ; that Eliza beth, his wife, is a pure and much-abused woman ; that Moulton is a cold, black hearted blackmailer, and so forth and so on. But in the meantime Tilton's lawyers arc ready to commence suit agaiust Beecher for seduction, and the facts in the case will be made public, and curiosity will be satis fied. People whose interest it is not to testify, and who cannot be compelled to testify before a church committee, will find it quite different when hauled up before a court of justice and put upon their oaths. Wait, good people, wait. Thcodoro sticks close to his house, and refuses to answer any questions. He is, he says, biding his time. Anl while I am ou thc subject of CLERICAL SCANDALS, the worst one has recently come to light iu Jersey City, a very popular clergyman named Glendenning being the alleged cause. A beautiful girl named Mary Pomeroy, an orphan, residing with her cousin, was en gaged to be married to Glendenning, who was her pastor. Some weeks ago she con fessed to her aunt that she was about to become a mother, and after long entrenty named Glendenning as the author of her shame. She stated that when her condi tion became known to her she entreated Glendenning to fulfill his premise, but hc put her off. Finally he came to her one night and told her that exposure was ruin to him, and that she must give him a paper relieving him of any connection with the matter. lie threatened her with a pistol, and she acceded. Getting this paper, he refused to marry her. Last week the child was born, and on Monday poor Mary Pomeroy, ruined and heartbroken, died. On her death-bed she made thc statement she had made before. The funeral was one of the largest ever known iu Jeisey City. The beauty and sweetness of the girl, and the peculiar circumstances of her death, created a terrible excitement. If Mr. Glendenning is not lynched, it will be be cause the wiser and cooler men, who would have law take its proper course, are in such majority as to be able to coutrol the more cxciteable. But what punishment can the law inflict upon such a man i lie is as truly the murderer of Mary Pomeroy as though he had shot her. And when oue thinks of such occurren ccs, auJ thinks of the inadequacy of the laws, grave doubts arise as to whether double-barreled shot guns arc not rather eood institutions after all. All that can be done with the Rev. Glendenning is to com pel him to support the child. THE CARXIVAL OF CRI3IE. The morning papers, one morning last week, afforded cheerful reading. There was the circumstantial account of tbe fune ral of Mary Pou.croy, the killing of a rough ty a bar-lender, the beating of a wife's brains out by a druukeu carman, three j children were found starved, two bodies were dragged out of the East River, besides which were cuttings, stabbings, and shoot ings without number. Ha3 the hot wea ther anything to do with crime V Does it irritate men and drive them to drink ? Certain it is that crime is more fierce in its manifestations now than duriDg the pleas ant spring and autumn or the cold winter. BUSINESS is most decidedh looking up. The best barometer is the hotels, and accordingly I took a tou among them last night. The corridors are full of strangers, aud the clerks report an enormous increase, so great, indeed, that they have some little trouble to accommodate, them. The cheap hotels are swarming with Western and Southern buyers, and the larger ones are almost as full. This is a certain indica tion of an immediate resumption of busi ness. The merchants tell me that the buying will not commence uutil September, ! sume time being required to look around. But all expect a very large aud profitable fall trade. It cannot be otherwise. There has been but little done for a year, and stocks in thc country are exhausted. The people must eat, drink and wear. The outlook is hopeful. I said the CHEAP HOTELS were full. They ought to be, for of all the sublime frauds on the Continent, the first class hotel is the most sublime. And the people are finding it out. There are thou sands of nice, neat, comfortable hotels in the city at which a man may live nicely on $2.50 to $; per day better, in, fact, than he does at the fashionable ones at $3 to $lo. Aud then it is. such a comfort to have a landlord w ho really is pleased at your patronage, to be iu the hands of clerks and waiters who recognize the fact that guests have some rights, and where, after you have paid for your accommodations, you are not expected to pay over again for having them brought to you. Avoid ye the big hotels ! It is not disreputable now to pay only $2.50 per day for board, as it was duriug the war. Thc wealthiest and best men may be found at these cheap but good caravansaries. THE WEATHER is once more frightful. The tlierroomctci go'S up to 100" without any special effort, and there is a dull heaviness in the air that is terrible. 100 in the shade means more here than it does anywhere else. The high buildings, the stone paved streets, the filth that makes some quarters unendurable all conspire to make hot weather a terror. Heavens ! as I write, with hot blasts com ing in my window, how I sigh for green fields aud babbling brooks. Anything but a great city in summer. No wonder that everybody gets away who can. FREE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WOMEN. The vexed "servant-gal" question is in .a fair way of being settled in our large cities in thc only way possible, by the na tural working of self-iuterest on the part of employers and employed. Several women of education and experience in the affairs, finding themselves in want of an assured position iu the world, and the world very much in want of clean collars and decent dinners, determined to exert their skill in this direction for the good of the public, and to reap the benefit. Instead of haunt ing the Congressman of their district for a clerkship at Washington, or piling vile manuscripts on thc hands of a patient edi tor, without a thought even of giving read ings in public, which the world very well knows any graduate of a grammer-school is competent to do, at $.50 a night for five nights in a week, these ladies in question, whose abilities in other and more eligible directions were well proved, in the quietest way opened a training school, for girls who wanted work in good families. When it started a year and a half ago, it was only to teach sewing in the nicest way, and occupied rooms over Wheeler & Wil son's Sewing Machine depot. In accordance with the original idea, the scheme was ex tended, and last spring the school was re moved to a large house on Tenth street. Where various departments are now in full operation. There is nothing about the place but the brightly lettered signs to dis tinguish it from the residences in Brevoort Place, as the dwellers like to call the long block from University Place to Broadway. The hall door stands open into a suite of large parlors scrupulously kept, where a small lad? at a light desk receives visitors looking for help and applicants for training, as well as owners for work in various branches filled by the house. Instead of wearing the air of au intelligence office, it is a place acceptable for ladies to enter. A large piano, pictures, and a well-filled book-case are its resources for evening when it is open as a free reading-room for women so that working girls of any class may feel that they have a place to speud their evenings with as goexl right .as men have in club-rooms or saloons. The basement has the large gilt sign, "Women's Tea Rooms," and the well-kept entrance, thc cool, spotless, shady interior, the polished plate windows carefully screened with muslin shades, the excellent order of the bronze burners and globes in thc windows, give it precisely thc inviting air of the best private restaurants.- Here the visitor finds a snowy table, with clear glasses, and accurately cooked chop, and cups of faultless coffee or charming tea. Here, every morning from half-past six to half-past seven, working girls find a gener- ous cup of coffee and bread enough for their breakfast at a charge of five cents. This food, of nice quality, is a very great- provision for a class of shop girls who Gnd lodgings in tenement houses at the rate of fifteen cents per night, and have no other way of finding meals, uulcss they poison themselves with the nauseous compounds of low eating saloons, where the influences are of the worst description. With the building is connected a laundry, where nice work is done at the lowest prices in the city. 1 his is mane a success by the very reasonable steps of charging according to tne work done, at the rate of fifty cents a dozen for small pieces and a dollar for large ones. Tho establishment is well pa tronized, and both laundry and restaurant are designed from 'he start for self-supporting. There is no reason why a busi ness plan so much needed should not be successful, aud I have mentioned this somewhat in detail as similar establish ments are sure to be opened in all town3 of any size. The free reading room receives the support cf a dozen or more benevolent women, among whom Mrs. Sheridan Suook's Dame i; prominent, as it is sure to be in such kicdly enterprises. A concct is to be given it Long Branck to-morrow, under the patronage of distinguished ladies, in aid of this institution. The intention is, by fall, to add a department for training cooks, under ihe charge of French chef. where not only servants can be fitted for the entire ratge of a cook's duties, but where housekeepers who want to know how to make a mayonnaise, or to dress mushrooms, or to prepare a Bavarian Cream, can, by paying a small 6um, learn what they wait without taking a whole course. Very ouietly this training school is taking its place among the valued iastitu tions of Xew York, and will solve the servant-girl question by putting a class of in telligent and respectful attendants in the market, when the disorderly ones will find themselves no longer in demand, and have to submit to decent regulations.
