Id a few days more the School Directors of the county will be called upon to discharge a duty of great iniportauce to the citizens of Northumberland county that of mak ing the appointment of Superintendent of Common Schools for the uext three years. On their action in the matter depends the advancement or the retrogression of -our public ahools ; therefore they should be cir cumspect in their operations, and select tl e best man for the position that can be fouud. Our schools make a miserable comparison at present with those of neighboring districts, which can be attributed to no other cause than the incompetency of those-in whom has been vested the power to superintend. There is no reason why this county should not be in the lead in the cause of education. The eamo necessity for educational promo- tion exists with lis that brings other dis- tricts into cucrgetic action, then why not equal them why not surpass them if pos sible, and biing the system to the highest degree of erfectiou. Every director who casts a vote for the selection of a Superin tendent has sufficient knowledge of the mat ter to understand where the fault lies to kuow why our schools are uo further ad vanced than they are. Our intercourse with, the people generally, during the last tW years, has fuliy convinced us that a large uiu jority of the pareuts of those aite&iir.g our public schools, fully underhand the impor tance of a man qualiOed to till ibe office of Snnei iiien.lriiL ana liK.b to the iirectors wlio are acliug as their, agents, to phu-e at j ces existing in his bailiwick, wliertiiiMin the bead of the public Schools iu this coun- j the Governoi issued his proclamation, call iv. one who is cuuipetenLand who t ill dis- j iug upon t he disiurtiers of the jieace to go " i ... .... . a charge the duties of the office impartially. and give that character aud dignity to the jHition which is required in all positions of a similar character. They need a mau of great industrial energy a man of in tellectual fertility, good educatiou, and sound morals, aud if uo such apply it will be the duty of the directors to Cud oue who is not inclined to force himself into the po sition through ambition or avarice regard less of his qualifications. Iu fact, we look upou the office as one which should, above all others, seek the man aud not the man the office. We have no recommendations to make of auy particular person for the of fice of Superintendent, nor have we auy further interest than any other pareut who would see his children advance in educa tion, and our public schools brought up to that standard the framers of the school laws designed. We hot that ur county may soou see the day when she can boast of sons aud daughters equal iu mental cul turethe result of a well couducled ed ucational sys tin to auy other district iu the Male. The people look to the directors ftr the selection t a good man to fill this important position-, aud they alone will be held responsible. We notice lately that a certain portion of the press is again engaged in heaping UMn the President gross jH-rsonal abuse, which may be very pleasing to the foolish, inasmuch as ii bears the sttublauce of wit, and looks"lLdepcudet:t,vbut it is un-Ame- wrican, aud disgraceful in the publishers of lie papers, as well as to those who give encouragement to this specious of wicked ness by supporting such journals. We do not care whether it is General Grant, or Genera'. Jackson; Abraham Lincoln, or Thomas Jefferson, while President his t him. iutywu u eis.i sck mm Uve are open to criticism freely, but with all respect for his office and the Republic which be represents, no matter whether he le ambitious for a 'third term1 or not. Hut that is not the matter now. Some combination of capital which has -'liot beeu able to get all the contracts, or offices, or recognition it thinks it deserves f rom General Graut, has started a paper in Philadelphia, on the ruin of the old Ger man pictorial, and has employed Mr. A. K. McClurc, who, iu his prime, had brain enough for any enterprise, but would then have scorned to play second fiddle to any clique, employed him to abuse this Repub lican administration, and use what little influence he may have left as the once proud lieutenant of our great war Gover nor, Curtiu, to undermine and destroy, by ridicule and abuse, the General under whose command our armies brought the war to a successful issue and conquered the rebellion. The vile stuff from the Tlnus which re ports the President as having tried to pa6s a ticket agent at the Grand Central depot, and slanders the door master, was copied in several of our neighboring Journals last week. We were somewhat astonished that papers claiming, respectability would give publicity or credence to the vile trash pub lishud against the Presideut on the inva sion alluded to. "The President cast upou the official a look of concentrated contempt and scorn, " and the official ordered him to j "stand back aud dou't block the passage." Aud it is stated that all thin disgrace c- ; curred in the presence of the Presideut of the railroad, the committee of the Massa chuselts Legislature at whose invitation the President was ou his wa to that State, and of Vice President Wilson, members of the Cabinet. Mr. Childs of the Philadel phia Ledger, und young Hamilton Fish, and that General Grant "fished out of his pocket a huudred dollar bill,11 aud seut Col. Hackett to buy tickets for the whole party. This is said to have ocurred on the Ou tcnnial anniversary of the f.rst blood of the Revolution which made us a free jieople, the celebration of which our chief magi trale had gone to attend. We protest against the rile attacks upon him. Judge Pearson, of Dauphin county, lias decided that the Us upon anthracite coal, levied betweeu the time of the adoption of the new Constitution and the pasiage of the act of April 24, 1674, is constitutional, and has ordered judgments in favor of the Commonwealth against the several compa nies contesting. The total amount involv ed about 46,000. The companies con testing will carry the case to the Supreme Court. Teucessce planters are complaining greatly of the unprecedented destruction of mules, liorees and cattle by the buffalo gnats. It is estimated that within the past ten days one huudred thousand dollars' worth of stock has been killed by them witbin a radius of one hundred miles from Memphis, and the consequence has been a heavy advance in the price of mules and horse. Jolia Harper, senior member of the firm .of Harper Bros., publishers, of New York, dii on Thursday evening, after a prolonsed illness, in tho eeventy-ninth Tfir nf his 8T. Ocu neighbor of the Democrat last week had his equilibrium wonderfully disturbed because the American and Gazette denounc ed bis course in regard to the removal of the troops in the coal region. Our Iein cratic ueighbor always had :iu aversion to soldiers, even during the war, and we have never heard of any exploits of valor on his part except in oue case when he fired a paste pot at au antagonist who was on his retreat. As a rule lie follows the lead of such papers as the Ilarrisburg Patriot which at first abused the Governor for not scuding tho troops, and then when they were sent, atlei the Democratic sheriff of Luzerne couuty confessed his inability to piest:rve the peace iu his county, abused him lor sending them. If our neighbor is presumptuous enough to think that he can make political capital by denouncing the action of the Governor iu seiidmg the mi litia to the mining regions, he will lind himself sadly mistaken. No one has as yet proscribed auy party, except the rowdy element, for the disturbances in the coal re gions. The editor of the Dehnxrat, iu his defeuce of this hitter element, has forgotten that the. Governor had sent troops at the j instigation of the. Democratic officers of the several counties who were unable t I'r(" serve the -Raw. The pnuc.pal Demoera- tic papers in Mm Mate approved the action of the GoYtruor: eveu tho Pliiladelph ia tW.ioa.'?, the leading Democratic iki- per in ihts State, while the Doylestown Dc- i itiwai, w.hosa liourbonisni is simon pure, i tikes occasion to comment :is follows upon i the subject : "Some of our newspapers are c riticising i Governor liarirauii uuitisiiv or orociius; : lb military mtj Use com regions, ile cut his only and nothing more. The Sheriff j complained that the civil power of the I coutii v was uuau;e to inn oo n uisi uroau ouietlv to their homes. This was unheed edand riotous proceedings continued. Per sons were injured, property destroyed, and business was interrupted by violent inter ference. Uuder these circumstances there was but a plain duty for tho Governor to do; cad upou the military arui of the Com mon wealth to quell the disturbance. It was done. The moment the military ar rived at the scene of the actiou it is au nouuevd that all is peaceful, and that there is no occasion for soldiers. It is gratify ing it the mere presence of a lew troops had such a salutary effect. Who can say what might have beeu the consequences if the Governor had refused to sustain the She riff with au armed force y If the Gover nor had not followed his disregarded pro clamation by ordering out the military to I preserve peace. Executive proclamations would hereafter be a farce. We can hard ly believe the presence of the troops was distasteful to the lovers of law and order; and wc are satisfied their prompt calling out prcveuted bloodshed.

These Mexican bandits seem determined to keep all telegraph communication wilh Browns ville cut off. A deej) sense of iudigualioii is felt at these repealed raids. The people of this portion of Texas are goaded to des- Deration, and they ara determined thad these things shall soon cease'.

New Orleans, April 2:. This afternoon at 4:15 o'clock, a time when the leve is usually most crowded, a fire broke out in the blacksmith shop of the steam boat John Kyle, then lying at the foot, of Gravier street, with steamers Charles Hodman and Exporter. Alumst before an alarm could be given the whole boat was in (lames. A few lady passengers and others were rescued before she was pulled out iu the i stream. The tire almost immediately caught the Hodman, whose passengers and people were on board, aud uearly all of whom escaped to the Exporter. As soon as the tire was discovered the Hues of the boats were cast loose from the shore and a steam tug pulled them out into the stream. The day was unusually clear, with a j Blrm)0 nrlh wiJj blowing.

The scene from the crowded levee was heart rending i;i the extreme. From t lie Hodman, nwn, women and children, shrieking and crying for help, were seen to jump into the river and drown while the spectators on shore were power- j f ( j ' ,. The Exporter did not ut in the river, and her j f(,r(.a(.,(. w.18 ;l, yM ,jm), ,.r0wded with people, the number being estimated by witnesses of the catastrophe at from 100 to loll. As th'" buge sheet of name swept down upon them they were seen to jump over board like a startled flock of sheep, where a uumber were rescued by skill's and tuns, which had put out to their assistance, but the great majority were drowned. Albert Mynck, the watchman of the Hodmau, who was saved with its captain reports about tweuty-Iive or thirty women and children as lost upon that boat, and the same proportion were estimated by spectators to have been among the frantic crowd upou the Exporter's forecastle. Iu thirty minutes after the fire broke out the Kyle was Moating dowu stream burued to the water's edi;e, and the wrecks of the hulls of tho other two boats had drifted i over to the Algiers shore, where they still smoulder. About tueutv of Ihe rescued, among whom are several ladies, were provided for upou the steamboat Louisville, aud just as your correspondent left the levee two more ladies were lauded from a skiff. Some of whom were badly burned. Both the Bod man and the Exporter arrived only last night, the latter with an excursion party ou board, among which was the family of her owner, Capt. Reese, of Pittsburg. Fortunately most of the passengers were up in town when the lire occurcd, but Mrs Reese aud her daughter wilh another lady, remained on board ; of these two were saved by a skiff, but Mrs. Reese is supposed to have b. en Capt. Sliinkle, of the Hodman, also lost his sou, fourteeii years of aue. The Kyle was worth about S5U.U00, aud was iusured f about 30.000 iu Pittsburg offices. The Hot I mau was valued at about 34S.OOO; iusured in Cincinnati; and the Exporter at $35,000 : iusured iu Pittsburg. The calamity has cast a gloom over the eiiv, and the conduct of tlie uimhi the Wffiwi m iwiu ji mil MP, alio marge" them with bein more "interested in saving other steamboats than saving lives. Iu this, however, much must be allowed lor prevailing excitement. The casually was so swift aud horrible as to almost paralyze any efforts. It will be very difficult to ascertain the names of all the lost, .imoug them were many spectators from the shore, who went aboard the burning bjats to assist iu put ting out the lire. Ere they could return they found themselves out iu the stream enveloped iu Maine. Oue case of heroism is reported. Two women who sprang 'overboard succeeded in grasping a ring bolt upon the hull of the Exporter, where, partly sheltered by the guards ot the ooat, lliey clung tor about fifteen minutes in full view of all on shore. In the meanwhile three skills made rejieatcd but iucllectual attempts to reach them. being each lime driveu back by the intense heat of the flumes, lust as the Lund red s of breathless spectators were upon the point of abandoning hope, a long lead-col ored skitf with a single rower approached aud dashed into their side. Iu a few in in utes it emerged in safety, having succeeded iu rescuiug both from watery graves. This salient action was rewarded with a spontaneous cheer from the crowd lining the river bank. The files', estimates reduce the loss to about n fly souls. The burning bull of the Exporter is now being towed down the river by a lu boat. Capt. Hutchinson, of ilm Kyle, reports ail saved upou his boat, though himself, the clerk, ami oi.e or two others are badly burnt (1. He says thai in less than three minutes from the time of discovering ihe lire that his boat was one sheet ot tl.iuie liom stem to stern.

Nellie and Dome, and another, were in the immediate neighborhood. The two former, it is said, lost both time and opportunity for saving life in a vain endeavor to extinguish the fires by throwing water apmi the burning boats. THI' NTItlliK. Maiianoy Cii y, April 24. The lawlessness that characterized the early dav s of i ho Pennsylvania authracile miners'' strike is breaking out afresh. All over the coal territory stories of outrage aud turbulence are coming in. Within the last two days there have been three bold and villainous deeds of outlawry com mitted. The first was the attempt to assassinate the "blackleg" fireman while he was en gaged at bis work near Wilke barre ; the second, the raid at .Sandy Hun, iu the Ie hich Iiasiu, which resulted in a man, who was pursuid for his life, killing the ring leader of the mob, and the last, the tearing up of the rails ou the Mauauoy Division of the Iiehigh Valley railroad at a point between this city and Mount Carmclat an early hour on Saturday morning. The shipments of coal to the seaboard over this branch have excited the hostility of the strikers, and threats have buen re peatedly made that the business would be stoppc.'. As a local freight was running over the road on Saturday morniug the engineer discovered that the track had been tampered with. The train was brought to a standstill and an investigation revealed that two rails had been torn up and throwu down the embankment. Appended to one was a card which had Ihe ominous threat that "shipment of coal over the road must stop at once or their will be further damage done.'t The card was ornamented with pictures of skulls and pistols crossed, and to it was signed the name of the Supcrtendent of the Head ing railroad. The strikers seem determined to play a game of lawlessness before they give up the fight. It is a notorious fact that their fuudsaud credit is running low. Within the last week the men of Lackawanna, who refused to strike, have sent to the Lehigh and Schuylkill region eighteen hun dred dollars to sustain the movement. The committees appointed at the Region Hoard meeting, held at Hazleton a few days ago, to canvass the cities for relief, arc- expected to meet wilh great success. Throughout, the region the stocks of mer chandise in the stores are being rapidly exhausted, and, as credit is bei'.i refused by the wholesale merchants of the Eastern cities, there is but little hope that the shelves will be refilled Very soon. Drum mers htive received instructions to irivc the region a wide birth, and collections are impossible. Business of all kinds i at a standstill, and their certainly will lie many failures reported before very loin'. During the last week there lias been con siderable. emigration of miners to the West while not a fe.w Welshmen with their fami lies have returned t- Wales. The strike, anions the semi-bituminous miners in the Clearfield region is having no iiilhienee upon the suspension in these ba sins, and it is thought that the tro utiles will not last much looser in that country. The strike in Clearfield was predicted in these dispatches several weeks ao, and it was brought about through the agency of emissaries seut by the Schuylkill men. The secret circular distributed by Welsh, the Presideut of the Benevolent Society, has stirred up the most intense feeling against this official. Not only is Welsh ojienly accused of selling out to ihu opera tors, but C. Hen Johuson and John Sit cy come in for a lilieral share of the suspicion. The corporations of Lackawanna and Upper Luzerne are running their mines day and niht, and a stream of loaded cars are moving constantly from that country to the shipping points around New York. There has been a great deal of speculation as to tho reasons why the Jjick.iw inna men did uot enlist for the war. It seems that during the "bloody strike of '03," and again in the "long strike" of '71, the Lehigh and Schuylkill men basely betrayed the miners of tho Northern field, aud left them to light out the battles alone. Now the coin is being repaid. There have been no outrages reported t -nigat as hav ing occured during tho last twelve hours. The occupation of the coal country by the troops is coating the State five thousand dollars per day, but it the militia should be recalled there is no doubt but that serious troubles would be inaugurated at once.

JI. m-'ht or leu persons were severely injured, and Ikj'Ji trains badly wrecked. I.ATEK A XAKROW ESCAI'K. A visit to the scene of the acciijcnt to night shows that the catastrophe was of a most serious character. laborers, with the light of torches, were engaged in re moving the wreck from the road, and ex pected to have the' track cleared before morning. The trains departing and ariiv ing transferred passengers and baggage to either end of the wreck, thus causiug but slight delay to travel between Washington and the North. It was remarked generally as fortunate thai the colliding cars did not run olf the track, as iu such case they would have been precipitated over the embankment, which is fifteen or twenty feet high at that place. The accident occurred a short distance from the northern end of the tunnel and not more than two huudred or three hun dred yards from the bridge crossing the eastern branch of the Potomac. Had the collision occurred one minute earlier on the bridge the loss of life would have been fearful. WIIEItE THE I1I.A.ME LIES. From information obtained at the scene of the disaster, it ajijiears that the engineer on the northern bound traiu did not stop sufficiently loti ou the switch near ihe mouth of the tunnel to allow the southern buuud traiu to pass, but proceeded on his way aud met Ihe latter train just around a j curve, coming at full speed, that train be j nig eulitled to the ri:;ht of way. j A FEAUI-TL CRASH. j i ne crasii causeii oy the collision was fearful, both engines and four cats beino completely demolished ; the lender of one engine licing thrown on top of the wreck, and ihe baggage car on the north bound train on lop ol its euine.

M'Afee, liaker, Collins, Try, Jlech tel and Durity were taken to Providence Hospital, and recived projKT medical aid. AN ENOINEEIt'tS .-TOIlY. Jacob Try, engineer of the incoming train, says the north bound train should have remained on the switch at the mouth of the tunnel at least fifteen minutes, even if he had been behind time; but ho was on time, and looked at his watch just after crossing the Eastern Uranch bridge. When he found he had one minute to reach the switch, just then he sighted the north bound train coining around the curve. He immediately put on the air brakes, reversed his engine and jumped off, breaking his leg. The company will im mediately make an examination into the circumstances attending the disaster, with the view of ascertaining where the respon sibility rests. THE 5Il.i.G TKOl KI.EN. Hazleton, April 27. The raids made last v. eek caused intense excitement throughout this valley. The fact of such atrocious acts being committed within four miles of a military out-post (Eckley) shows the presence of a military to be a vital ne cessity. Even those who were loudest in denouncing the action of the Governor iu ordering the troops here, now concede his actions to have been right, and openly ac knowledge that his course has saved life and properly to a large extent. Citizens yes'crday appealed to the siierilf, through a committee, for military protection iu the vicinity of the late raid, and an order is momentarily expected from General Os borne, placing the district in charge of the military.

Probably there is no complaint that nflliots ilie human system, which is so little nmlerstood at the jnesent time, as iome of the varied forms of Kidney Complaints. There is no dUeise which causes such arnle pnin or mora alarming in its result than when the kidneys fail to secrete from the llod the uric iieid, and other posiutious substance; which the blood accumulates in its circulation through the system. If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the functions devolving upon them, the eumula rms are taken up by the uhscibenis and the whole system thrown into a ttate of disease, causing great pain and suffering, and very often iiiiiiii'di-ite death. Hence the importance ol peeping the kidney-, and hioo.l in a healthy con dition, through which nil the impurities of tin body must pass. PAIN A THE BACK. There is no remedy known to medical science wnifdi has proved itself more valuable in ca.e of Kidney Complaints than the Yeoeting.

THE I.IOUT KL'NNIXli "DOMESTIC." Tho -Ioiuvtio." The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple tiuelin.e iu all Us part and processes. It is easily understood ; familiarity with its aetion Is very ninekly aeq'iired. aud it needs hardly any practice of special skill in Hie operator. The superior advantages obtained in the "Do mf.stic" are mainly : 1. I.ilit Kunniug. .'. Quietness no Cams or dear Wheels, o. reifect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch. 4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Cou-strui-lion. t. Absence of all Friction. f. (ileal range of Work. T. Ease of Operation. We do not fay that tin: 'Diimkstic" is the only Machine worthy of public favor. Wo ad mil there arc some possessing real and ncknow leilged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared to demonstrate, that, the "Domestic" has many excellences that render it itecnlctlly awxi-i'iii' to any otttr Machine novr before the public. Let every woman, therefore, examine for her self into its merits when she buys a machine. This is an important purchase, not to be care lessly made ; one that will influence her com fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes tic" in her possession, she will lind her tewing become a pleasant exercise of skill and taate, in stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have the time, and strength to add beauty and elegance to work in which before she has been obliged to content herself with bare utility.
