Wanted a-Platform. The editor of the Germantown Telegraph, one of the most independent journals in tbe State, has evidently investigated the remaining prin ciples of the modern Democratic party, judging from the manner in which be ex plains their present position. He says "a political parly is generally safe enough 60 long as it is in the minority and engages in attacking the administration in power, exposing its errors and shortcomings, and picking out all the frauds and corruptions which all governments carry in their train. But let that party get into power itself, let it be clotlted with the attributes and re sponsibilities of government, let it be asked to mark out a policy of its own, and then begins its troubles. Such is the present quandary of the Democratic party. For lifleeu years it has been out of power. It has denounced without ceasing everything done by the Republicans. It has assailed everybody iu office as corrupt or imbecile or despotic. It has ridiculed the statesmen of the dominant party and eulogised its own leaders as transcendent statesmen, and those who believed in all these outgiv ings must have fancied that the men en trusted with office were a set of low trick sters bent on nothing but power and pelf. But now comes a change. The Demo crat have carried twenty-seven States. They have command of Congress and of most of the State governments. What do they propose to do ? Let us know some thing of the splendid statesmanship of those Democratic leaders who were no bold - ' and free in their criticisms of Republican policy, and who were held up before us as models of political wisdom and patriotism. Where arc the measures by which they are going to remedy the untold miseries and evi's of Republican rule ? If this great Na tion is now to be reconstructed anew after the ideas of the Democratic party, let us know what those ideas are. We read the Democratic journals attentively but in vain to discover some plau of actiou, some dis tinctive measures, some avowed policy. There is none. The whole party is more at sea than the Republicans ever were. We can Cud no living principles, no Na tional issues, no fixed policy, no broad and comprehensive measures. Everything is vague, indistinct and shiftless. Indeed some of the leading Democratic journals are so conscious of the fact that they at tempt to show that at the coming session of Congress nothing should be done but investigate, though little else has been done for four years past. Here, then, the weakness of the concern stands confessed. It has no policy. It has been casting about in search of one, but without success. It is afraid of every issue of which it threatens to become the pack horse. It is afraid of free-trade, afraid of """"the dangerous tendencies of the recon structed Confederates, afraid of the bigotry of its Catholic cohorts, afraid of the State rights issue, afraid of civil service reform. And of what is it in favor ? Can any one tell us r it e have industriously searched the Democratic creed. It has vanished entirely. We hare already directed attention to tbe fact that the extreme Catholics are not satisfied with the exclusion of the Bible from the public schools. In Ohio, where tbis concession to tbe Catholic hostility to the public schools has been made to some extent, tbe CaViolic lelegraph, an organ at once of A reli In hop Purcell and the Demo cratic party, boldly anuounces that no Catholic cau send his children to the pub lie schools, under the present system, with or without Bible reading, without com mitting a sin against tbe Church. It an tagonizes the school without the Bible as a 'no-sect' institution, and improves the oc casion to arraign Protestantism in general, as follows : Cincinnati, O., Catholic Telegraph (Dcn.) "Its creed is tbe denial of all positive re vealed religion, and tbis is the logical sequence of the full development of the protest which rebels raised against the di vine authority of the Church three cen turies ago. If there are thousands in this country professing to belong to some one of tbe many Protestant denominations, and who yet iavor tbe elimination of religion from tbe training of youth, their seemingly illogical position can be easily explained. They hare unconsciously accepted the final conclusion to which their false religion leads they thick and act as infidels, be cause infidelity is tbe matured fruit of Pro testantism. ''They favor the expulsion of God from tbe school room because they have expelled all belief in Christianity as a supernatural religion from their minds. If any Catholic desires to take the same side on tbe school question, he virtually places himself in the category of those who boldly deny that tbe Son of God commissioned the Church to teach all nations. He admits that the State is the supreme teacher, guide and law-giver a very popular religion, it is true, in these anti-Christian days; but those who embrace it cease to be CatholicB. No State has the right to say to the Catho lic citizen that he must violate his con science, and that his child must-drop his faith at the doorof the school house ; and any regime of education which requires this is godless, pagan and anti-American. "The present system of public schools brands the Catholic faith as a crime, and the American State punishes it yearly by fines equal in amount to the sum which the Catholics are compelled to expend after the payment of school tax upon the Catholic education of their children. The Ameri can school law is a penal enactment against the Catholic religion, originating and per petuated iu the same spirit that has driven the educating orders of the Church from the soil of Germany. It does not lighten the grievauce, it does not extenuate its in justice to appeal to the denial of the right of Protestants to have their childreu edu cated in their faith. The injury inflicted by the hand of the State upon one party is no atonement ; for a wroug can be no justification of an injury done to another. "If Protectants are willing to adopt the he teaching of infidelity, this willingness .does not eoofer upon any political organi sation the ajtthoritv to compel Catholics to jmrsue the aaw pourse of apostasy. He ho hath no careaf his own household has denied the faith, aud is worse than an in VI ; and the Church, with no uncertain . and in no ambiguous language, but explicit, and decisive phraseology, has declared to the Catholic world that the religious education of their children is an all important care, a paramount duty, which cannot be neglected without guilt. There could, therefore, hardly be a more impudeut falsehood than the assertion that a public secular system of education does not interfere with the religion of Catholics, It is au interference that amounts to a most grievous and iu suiting outrage ; it illus trates most perfectly the brute rule of a reckless majority in tbe domain of religion, from which the letter of American law ex cludes all interference." A few days ago the telegtaais informed us that the riotous miners of the Clearfield region had been arrested and were to be tried before Judge Orvis, and that Seuator William A. Wallace had been retained to prosecute them. The Senator and the Judge have done their work expeditiously. The Harrisburg Telegraph says tbirty-two of the prisoners were sentenced by Judge Orvis; the convicted men being divided into three groups of comparatively hein ous criminals, and sentenced to different degrees of punishment. Justice to be ef fective should be prompt, is a maxim which the eminent prosecutor and the able judge seem to have studied and approved. We now commend to the Democratic news papers that goaded these men on, to con template tbe result of their criminal work, in inflaming the ignoraut mTners into re sistance to the law. Their sliauie is com plete. And their failure to make political capital against the Republican party by this inflammatory and disgusting attempt to sac rifice the peace of society if it would bring them a partisan benefit, is grotesquely thorough. The arrested miners are con victed by the assistance of a leading De mocratic lawyer and politician, and are sent to prison by a distinguished Demo cratic Judge. Rather poetic than other wise, that justice is it not ? The Germantown Telegraph states a fact which it is well for tradesmen and others to consider, that the fashionable and wealthy portion of the community do less towards encouraging American industry than any otter class of people. Take the attire for instance of one of the hundreds of fashionably -dressed ladies seen daily on Chestnut street. The materials of her bat and dress, her collar and gloves, are im ported from France. Her shoes are French kid and her hose of English manufacture. Perhaps not a single article of her clothing is made in her native land. For articles of luxury such as these, is the country drained of gold. Gov. Hartranft has, in accordance with the act of 1875, providing for tbe selection of fire suitable persons from different sec tions of the Stale who are familliar with its resources, arts, products, history and capabilities, who shall constitute a State Board to act with the United States Cen tennial Commission and the Commissioner and Alternate for Pennsylvania, appointed the following gentleman as a State board of Centennial Managers : Morton McMichael, of Philadelphia; Andrew G. Curtin, of Bellcfonte ; J. II. Shoenberger, of Pitts burgh ; George Scott, of Catawissa, and Foster Wilson Mitchell, of Franklin. George O. Evans, who figured exten sively as an Agent of the State of Pennsyl vania in collecting war claims against the U. S. Government, and then pocketed a big pile of the plunder, died ou Thursday of last week, in Ve6t Philadelphia, aged 54 years. Although he could not be made to pay his debts to the State, yet he has now paid the debt of nature, so let him rest. It is not every public plunderer that can flur ish on his ill-gotteu wealth, of which this man Evans was a case in point. He was worried to death by legal proceedings, vexa tious delays, and imprisonment, and leaves behind him poverty and a disonored name. Senator Stevenson, of Kentucky, is re ported as having said that, if the Demo cratic party tried to make a national issue or tbe financial question, it will be broken to atoms, which is tantamount to an ad mission that the party has no common ground on finance. And yet it has at tempted to cast ridicule upon the Republi cans iu Congress for having adopted a policy and harmonized upon it. There is nothing that so vitally concerns every in terest in the Republic as this very fiuancial problem ; nothing that tbe Republican party has been so vehemently abused for not having definitely settled, and nothing that had so much to do with the political reveries of 1874. And now Senator Ste venson confesses that his party is wholly at sea on the subjecthas no common prin ciples, and can have none. What a com petent, capable, enlightened party to take charge of the government 1 Philadelphia Xorth American. The Black Hills Tbeatv. A tele gram has been received from Frank Pal mer, editor of the Chicago Liter-Ocean, ac cepting his appointment as a member of the commission to treat the Sioux Indians in regard to the Black Hills. Bishop Haven declines to go on the commission on the ground that he is too busy with church matters, and the physical condition of Bishop Ames is such that he cannot accept the appointment. As four bishops have declined to serve the interior department has deoided to abandon any further efforts iu that direction, and the commission will be formed without any bishop. As it now stands, it is composed of Senator Allison, General Terry, Ex-Represenlative Comin go, the Rvv. Mr. Hinmau and Frank A. Palmer, representing congress, the army, the church and Journalism. Both politi cal parties are alo represented. Wants information. Seth Green, the great fish culturiBt, has asked the newspa pers to call the attention of the people along the liues of the liver flats to note whether any young or old fishes are found in the pools and depressions after the water has fallen aud inform him of the result. The point to be gained is finding out of the young fish that have been placed in the rivers and creeks of the State remain iu the regular channel or deep water, or whether they seek shallow water and a slower cur rent, aud are exposed to the dauger of be ing left high and dry upon the ground when the streams fall Lynched. Early Monday morning the colored felon, Siroms, confessed, to having outraged the person of a young white girl, 12 miles from Haiti more, on Friday last, was taken from the jail at Annapolis by a mob and lynched. The lynchers mostly came from Ann Arundel county some of them had their fices blackened, and some were masked. They were armed with pickaxes and crowbars, and got into the jail by battering dowu a back door. Their victim said nothing until they were about to string him up, when he attempted to speak, but was silenced. He was banged about a mile from tbe town, and the citizens knew nothing of the deed until some time after it had beon done. THE RELEASE OF BOSK TWEED. The great Tammany conspirator has been set free from captivity on Blackwell's Island, and is to day at large. Although tbe cloud of indictments hanging over him will descend in a shower of writs, it is probable that he will find shelter behind sufficient bail, and be protected by the le gal skill which has been persistently and successfully exercised in his behalf. It may be, therefore, that he will be able to preserve the enlargement which the half a million dollars, which he says he has paid to lawyers, has won. He returns to New York, free once more to traverse the streets which might once almost have been called his property, so entirely did he control them, so largely did they contribute to his income. He returns to the city ; but he does not return home. There is no home for Tweed in this world but the grave. His family is hopelessly scattered never to be reunited on earth. His friends where are they ? Who is there to welcome the escaped con vict back to his old haunts ? His pro fessional advisers, who have rescued him from the hands of justice, may meet and exchange felicitations with him at Delmonico's over a bottle of Cliquot, re viving a fleeting gleam of that convivial jollity which characterized the reign of the "Ring ;" and their may be remnants of the old gangs of ballot-stuffers and election strikers still lingering about the si u tubs of the Sixth Ward, whose feebly inebriate rejoicing over the news that "the Boss is back from tbe Island" will bring back memories of the noise of the shoutings on the great field days when Tammany ruled New York, and Tweed ruled Tammany. But after these faint and unsupported ebulli tions sink down, as they instantly will, like ghosts, at cockcrow what then ? What has this broken, ruined, deserted, impotent old rogue returned to ? Truly to a fate that will make him wish himself back in the prison hospital, where, at least, there were none to point the finger of scorn, or to turn aside from meeting his shamed face. He comes back like one from the dead and the places that knew him, know him no more. His Sachem's seat has been long filled, and the circle about tbe council fite is full , neither Wick ham nor Kelly want his alliance now. The Street Com missioners will not invite him to his form er chair, and with the Board of Charities and Corrections he has doubtless had dealings enough for the present. The "Blossom Club" is bankrupt ; tbe splendid summer house of the "Americus," at Stamford, has been converted into a watering-place hotel. Of all tbe resorts that aforetime welcomed the mighty magnate with overabundant hospitality not a single place is open to him now. Impoverished, sick in mind and body, houseless, homeless, friendless, almost alone, the miserable old man begins life anew, in the character of an escaped felon. His old occupations gone forever, he has the bitter prospect of spending the remnant of his days in an unceasing struggle with outraged law, which he once moulded as be pleased or defied with impunity. The Boss is free, but his is the freedom of Sisyphus, doomed to constantly push up hill the burdon of his iniquities, which as constantly threatens to roll back and crush him. Philadelphia lnguirtr of 1G(A. The HumIucm Outlook. While business improves but slowly, and aud confidence returns at a very lagged pace, the looker-on is naturally disposed to conclude that there is no improvement at all. The conclusion, however, is errone ous ; as any one cau see who will take tbe pains to compare the present with tbe periods of six months or a year ago. The change progresses very tardily, and is not perceptible while it is going on ; but by looking back it is easy to perceive that we are steadily going forward to a better and more encouragiug condition of trade. The shrinkage in values embracing the prices of labor and of the raw materials used in manufactures, as well as in manu factured articles and in real estate, has been and is the great drawback to an im mediate return to prosperity. If we could all instantly have accommodated ourselves to the changes wrought by the panic of 1873 there would have been less friction in the working of business machinery and a quicker return to an active resumption of trade ; but that was not done, and it will be some time, yet, before everybody be come reconciled to what is inevitable and unavoidable. On this account, if on uo other, the work of recovery must necessari ly be slow. The panic of 1873 did not, like all pre vious panics, impoverish the people gener ally. The farmers of the East and West and the planters of the South have, with occasional exceptions, had good crops for years past, and, the currency of the coun try being unaffected by the panic, they have not felt the effects of the busiucss re vulsion, at least uot severely. The agri cultural interest has probably been as pros perous in 1873, 1874 and 1875 as in any three years previous; and, except where the farmers with surplus means have been tempted to invest in umemunerativc stocks, the resources of the agriculturists remain unimpaired. Their purchasing power has not been materially reduced, and if, under the first influences of the panic, they were driven to ecouomize in every available particular, they must, at some time, be come active purchasers again, and their ability to purchase being unquestioned, the future, as it regards them, is full of en couragement. The present condition of trade, then, does not spring from any poverty or mis fortunes that have overtaken the agricul tural aud planting interest ; nor, we may add, does it result from a scarcity of money. Our exchanges from all the busiucss cen ters speak of money as abundant every where. In Philadelphia aud New York it is quoted at 3( 4 per cent, on call and 5.7 on first-class pnper or collaterals ; in Chicago it is quoted as 'superabundant;1 in St. Louis, tbe Glote- Democrat says, 'pri vate capital piles up in this market without an outlet ;' while Boston and Cincinnati report money as cheaper than has been knowu before for years. The great difficulty is not, consequently, an impoverished market, nor scanty ot money. It consists, mainly, in want of confidence on the part of those who have money to lend, and in the paralysis inflict ed by tbe shrinkage of values. Confidence is proverbially slow in its growth, and para lysis never departs rapidly from those whom it attacks. We must wait patiently for the return of one and the departure of the other ; resting as easy as we can, under the assurance that a country in which money is plenty and good, and in which the agricultural interest is prosperous, can not long be kept in an uncertain commer cial condition. The future is full of pro mise, aud we may therefore look forward to it without fear or apprehension. Two lessons have got to be thoroughly learned, however, in this connection. The first is that we must give up the expecta tion of a return to former inflated values, and must accommodate ourselves to the shrinkage that has taken place ; and the second is that men in business must be con tent with very moderate margins of profit, and not expect, as heretofore, to make for tunes in a day. The timefor the latter has gone by. The soundest fortunes are those built up by slow accretions. Industry, perseverance, economy and close personal attention to details are now necessary to success ; and with these, accompanied with contentment over small gains, we shall gradually, but steadily, return to a more substantial and lasting prosperity than the country has ever yet enjoyed. GRAIN GOIXG OUT. Our grain exports to date are some seven teen millions of dollars short of shipments for the same period last year. This may be partly due to decline in foreign demand, but is, undoubtedly, attributable mainly to grain hoarding for speculative purposes. Chicago has, as usual, been the centre of this speculative movement, the amount of wheat detained there being six millions of bushels greater than at this time last year. But the anticipation of higher prices, ex cited by the dealers, extended to the farm ers, inducing them also to withhold their crops. The combined action has resulted in keeping back from the regular channels of trade probably not less than twenty million bushels of grain. This arbitrary and illegitimate interfer ence with the business of the country has, doubtless, contributed to the depression and stagnation of trade. And now thai the unfair attempt to tax the market has been defeated, or rather defeated itself, no sympathy will be fell for the unscrupulous spoilers who are ruined by the failure. The shrinkages in nominal values are accounted by competent estimates about two million of dollars of Chicago's share is fully onc balf. Had the Chicago dealers permitted fair trade to take its natural course, their proper gains would have been as much more, so that the loss to the city can be reckoned at two million of dollars. A part of this will be regained now that grain has been liberated and the locked-up store houses reopened, but there are, on the other hand, contingent losses, uncounted, that will affect the prosperity of the city for years. The baleful influence of these cornering operations on the character and repute of the Chicago business community, for one thing, will work more harm than is patent to current apprehension. Wheat is now coming forward, and, un less prices advance, which hardly seems probable in view of the failure of desperate efforts to sustain them, the outflow to Eur ope will be large. This will help to pay our debts abroad, beside putting several million of dollars in circulation at home, between the East and the West, a move ment iu the right direction and tending to ward a healthful resumption of business. We do not expect that the breaking of a corner in corn is to immediately result iu the restoration of prosperity to our sorely tried public, but it is the reopening of one of the great thoroughfares of our financial system which has been closed by toll-gates a highway by which a vast amount of busi ness is conducted. That the bringing of mo ney and credit into the country, the setting-in motion of our great network of transporta tion lines, the distribution of cash among farmers and village traders, will help to hasten the coming of 'better times can hardly be doubted. Philadelphia Liqnirer. DISASTER AT SEA. Another appalling disaster, incurring the probable loss of over 40 lives, has oc curred at sea. Ou Tuesday morning, May 27, the steamship Vicksburg, commanded by Capt. Iieunett, with a crew of CO men and 28 passengers, became culaugled inau ice floe 120 miles ofT the coasl of New Fouudland. Collisiou with the ice caused a leak which all efforts ou tbe part of tbe crew and passengers proved unavailing to repair, and just as two of the boats had got clear from the vessel she suddenly sank with the captain and all of tbe passengers and crew who remained on board. Amid tbe floating wreckage of the sunken vessel a third boat, bearing about 30 persons, was seen to float The three boats con tained in all about 45 persons. The rest sank wilb tbe vessel. After keeping com pany for about two hours the boats lost sight of each other, and, as far as is yet known, the only persons who are left to tell the tale are five seamen. GE.VEKAE NEWS ITEMS.

Telegraphic News. THE LONG NT It I HE. WORK AT ANY PRICE MINERS' UNION DEMORALIZED. Hazi.eton, June 15. The loug lock at last shows signo of endiug. Numerous meetings have been held throughout the entire coal region during the past week to again discuss the question of resumption. Various were the results, some unanimous ly declaring their intention of still further cessation of labor, and other branches as strongly declaring in favor of immediate resumption. A MAJORITY FOR WORK. In spite of the protests of their leaders a clear majority of the branches voted for work, and would allow no other course to he pursued, and the result is resumption tbis morning in many important places. Summit Hill, so long promising resump tion, commenced this morning, and almost all the collieries in that vicinity either com mencing or using every facility in prepar ing to start. This place has long been looked upon as a keynote for the action of the rest, and her action was promptly fol lowed. A STRONGHOLD GONE. The entire region about Wilkesbarrealso resumed to-day. Here has been one of the most bitter contests of the strike, and the strikers have yielded, it is a great point gained by the operators. In the Hazleton region no actual work has yet taken place, but this region will immediately follow the example of the others, and in a few days all will join, for among the strikers the first step is the important one. Everybody wears a smiling countenance, for although the strikers have lost their point, and will have to submit to the re duction, the prospect of again being able to earn something has given many of tliqm a light heart. The result will be felt by every soul in the region, from the wealthy opera tor who has seen THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OK DOL LARS SUNK In expense, with no returns, to the little barefoot urchin who has so long and anx iously looked for bis father to work that a full board might again greet his vision. Your fair cily, as well as the whole coun try, will soon feel the result, and the lesson having been so severe, it is believed all further differences will be adjusted without a repetition of this, the longest strike on record. THE LONG STRIKE ENDED GENERAL RE SUMPTION TO FOLLOW. Wilkesbarre, June 15. The long strike is ended. The miners of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal company made an unconditional surrender through their delegates last night at a meeting with Mr. Parri3h. A dozen or more meetings were held yesterday at different places. At Ashley a delegation of seventy Ger man miners went to a meeting for the pur pose of voting for resumption. Their ob ject became knowu to the leaders and they were excluded from the meeting. They then called a meeting of their own and de cided to be governed no longer by the As sociation. At another meeting the Irish and Welsh disagreed and the former with drew. At other meetings there was a lack of harmony, and during the course of the day there was a general disagreement as to fu ture action. The mass of the miners were in favor of going to work, but the leaders fought hard against it. The sentimeut was too strong for them to control, and that party yielded in the evening. A region meeting was held, and Ihe dele gates then went to Parrish's office. Here a long conference took place. It was very harmonious, and ended in an agreement to go to work at once upon the company's terms. No concessions whatever were made by the company. The men stated that they had made a mistake in holding out so long, in making a strike, and were now in want of the ne cessaries of life and eager to have work im mediately. This company employs about 11,000 men and all of their works will be etartod goon as possible. Tbe miners of the Individual operators will follow the example of the men of this company, and there will be a general re sumption in the Wyoming region. ATTEMPT TO COERCE MINERS THEY BRAVELY DEFEND THEMSELVES. Wilkesbarre, June 153 P. M. The miners who have been working at Paine's shaft were met by a large gang this morning and ordered to stay out. A posse was raised and armed, and they opened the way through the mob, and those who wished to do so entered the shaft. There was great excitement, aud the least offensive movements from idlers would have drawn the fire of the posse. Pottsville, Pa., June 15. Advices from all parts of tbe country state that the men are going to work in every direction. They appear to have given up all hopes of attaining the their object, and they are making the best arrangements they can under the circumstances. At William's colliery, Mahanoy city, the men have applied for work, and they will probably start iu a few days. The Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company started five collieries, in ad dition to those that were previously work ng, and making fifteen now in operation. A report from Shenandoah says the in dications are favorable for resumption in that locality. The Rhoads colliery is work ing full handed, and the coal is coming out lively. The West Shenandoah colliery is full, and for the last two days they have been turning men away who apply for situations. Men are at the Plank Ridge and Indian Ridge collieries, cleaning up, and many men will resume at these places to-morrow. The Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company have made a large reduction in the price of supplies to the miners, which will help them considerably. Powder, which was $4.12 per keg, has been reduced to $3.00 ; oil from $1.50 to $ 1.00, and other supplies in proportion. A meeting of the executive board of Ihe M. & L. B. A. was held here to-day, but Mr. Welsh, the president, refused to meet the committee, aud the delegates went home dissatisfied and determined to hold meetings of the different branches and in struct the men to go to work. It is reliably stated thai the miners' un ion has disbanded for one year. There is no doubt but that the strike ii virtually at an end, and that a geueral resumption in this region will take place in a few days. Troop Ordered Out. Lebanon, June 12. Col. J. P. S.

Panama, June 4. The Royal Mail steamship Bulize, which arrived at Aspan wall to-day from Savanilla, brings the fol lowing particulars, published in an extra of the Barranquilla Sliippig Lid, May 29, of a terrible earthquake in the Andes : The steamer Isabel, which arrived yes terday from the interior, ncarcd our city with her flag at half-mast, indicating that Bhe was the bearer of unwelcome news,and, while there were various conjectures as to ts import, none had for a moment pictured the magnitude of the awful calamity which had taken place. The information which has reached on the subject is contained in a letter dated in Salazar, seven leagues from Cucuta, the 10th of May, from which we extract and translate the following : At 11:10 A. M. of yesterday (18th) an earthquake visited this city and region. Iu tbis city a large part of the church fell. Several houses were destroyed and some people killed. CUCUTA's destruction. The city of Cucuta is entirely destroyed, only a few families being saved. The Botica Alemana German drug store) was set on fire by a ball of fire which was thrown out of the volcauo, which is con stantly belching out lava. This volcano has opened itself in front of Santiago in a ridge called '1 alto la Giracha.' THE SAME SAD STORY. . San Cayetano was destroyed Santiago in a large part In Gramalote there was great destruction. Arbolcdo, CucutiDa and San Cristobal are nearly destroyed, prin cipally the four last. The population of these" towns is esti mated by a person well acquainted in that region, mre or less, , as follows : San Cayetano, 4000; Santiago, 2000; Grama lote, 3000; Arboleda, 5000; Cucutilla, 5000 ; Sar Cristobal, 16,000. The coiotry above referred lo embraces the regions around about where Colombia and Venezuela join, tbe Colombian portion embracing the State of Sanlander. It is in some respects the most produc tive part of this Republic, aud tbe coffee of the region is famous all the world-ow-i San Jose d Cucuta, the eitjr of the most importance of any in that section, was situated on the boundary of the Republic, latitude 7 degrees 30 minutes north, lougi tude 72 degrees 10 minutes west, and was founded by Juan dc Marten in 1534. It was a port of entry, and here was the es tablished custom house. The population of the city at the time of the disaster is es timated at asout 18,000. It had a large commercial business, and was the great depot for coffee and cocoa for shipment either through the Venezuelan ports or dowi the Magdalen to this city. The shock was felt sharply iu Bogota and ad joining sections. A gentleman who was at the time in Facalativa says that the movement lasted for three-quarters of a minute. It was also slightly felt in Bar- ranquilla. The above particulars are all we have been able to obtain for this mail. Strength of the Grangers. Washington, June 11. The headquar ters of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, which ever since the organi zation of the order at Washington, will pro bably be removed to Louisville, Ky., in a short time. At the last annual session of the National Grange, in Charleston, S. C, in February last, the Executive Committee was charged with the selection of a new point for the headquarters to be located in one of the five Western States named, and the change was to be made within six months from the 1st of March last. The commit tee, it is understood, have, after due in vestigation, eolocted Louisville as the most eligible location, although it was expected that St. Louis would haye been chosen. Kentucky stands No. 5 as regards the number of granges, having 1,559. Indiana leads the list with 2,027 granges ; Missouri has 2,020 ; Iowa, 2,004 ; Illinois, 1.5S4, and Kentucky, 1,559. The total number of granges in the United States is 23,500, with an estimated aggregate membership of 1,500,000.

During the past Ave years the VEGETINE has been steadily working itself into public favor, and those who were at first most incredulous in regard to its merits are now its most ardent friends and supporters. 1 aere are three essential causes for those hav ing such a horror of patent medicines, changing incauVaut-euieS JFT1lKilT.i''. 11 1 is ail honestly-prepared medicine from barky, roots and herbs. 2d It honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for it, without leaving any bad effects in the system. Sd It preseuts honest vouchers in testimonials from honest, well-known citizens, whose signatures are a sufficient guar antee of their earnestness in the matter. Tak ing into consideration the vast quantity of medi cine brought conspicuously before the public throngh the flaming advertisements in the news paper comma, wltn no prooi oi merit or genuine vouchers of what it has done, we shonld be par doned for manifesting a small degree of pride in presenting the following testimonial from Rev. S. U1CK.EKSUJI, v. v., tne popular anu ever- genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Bos ton : The Tired Body Sues Tor Sleep. Boston, March 17. 1874. II. R. Stevens, Esy. : Dear Sir It Is as much from a sense of duty as of gratitude that I write to say that your VEGETISE even if it is a patient medicine has been of great help to me when nothing else seemed to avail which I could safely use. Either excessive mental work or nnusual care brings upon me a nervous exhanstion that desperately needs sleep, but as desperately defies it. Night after night tbe poor, tired body sues for sleep until tbe day-dawn is welcomed DacK, and we begin our work tired out with an almost fruit less chase after rest. Now I have found that a little VEGETINE taken just before I retire gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the evil effects of the usual narcotics. I think, two things wonld tend to make brain-workers- sleep. 1st A little less work. 2d A little more VEGETINE. This prescription helped me. Now I have a particular horror of "patent medicine," but I have a greater horror of being afraid to tell the straght ont truth. The VEGE TINE has helped me, and I own it up. Yonrs Ac, J. S. DICKERSON. Valuable Evidence. Tbe following unsolicited testimonial from Rev. O. T. WALKER, D. D., formerly paster of Bowdoin Square Church, and at present settled in Providence, R. I., must be esteemed as relia ble evidence. No one should fail to observe that this testi monial is the resnlt of two years' experience with tbe use of VEGETINE in the Rev. Mr. Walker's family, who now pronounces it inval uable : Providence, R. I., 164 Transit Street. H. R. Stevens, Esq. : I feel bound to express with my signature the high value I place upon your VEGETINE. My family have nsed it for the last two years. In nervous debility it is invaluable, and I recom mend to all who may need an invigorating, re novating tonic. O. T. WALKER, Formly Paster of Bowdoin Sq. Church, Boston. The Best Evidence. The following letter from Rev. . S. BEST, pastor M. E. Church, Natick Mass., will be read with interest by many physicians. Also those suffering from the same disease as afflicted the son of the Rev. E. S. Best. No person can donbt t jis testimony, and there is no doubt about the curative powers of VEGETINE : Natick, Mass., Jan. 1, 1S74. Mr. Q. R- Stevens : Dear Sir We have good reason for regarding; yonr VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value. We feel assured that it has been the means of saving our son's life. He is now seventeen years ef age : for the last two years be has suffered from necrosis of bis leg, caused by scrofulous affection, an was so far reduced-' that nearly all who saw him thought bis re covery impossibly. A council of able physicians could give us but the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that be was beyond the reach of human Mmdis,. that even amputation could not save him, a be- bad ; not vigor enough to endure the operation. Just, then we commeuced giving him VEGETINE, and from that time to the present he has been con tinuously improving. He has lately resumed bis studies, thrown away crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong. Though there is still some discbarge from the opening where tbe limb was lanced, we haveihu fullest confidence that in a little time Le will be perfectly cured. He has taken about three doxen bottles of VEGETINE, bnt lately uses but little, as he de clares that he is too well to be taken medicine. Respectfully yours, . 8. Best, Mrs. L. C. F. Best. Reliable Evidence. 178 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, N. YNov., 14, 1874. H. R. Stevens, Esq. : Dear Sir From personal benefit received by its nse, as well as from peisonal knowledge of those whose cures thereby have seemed almost miraculous, I can most tieartily and sincerely re commend the VEGETINE for the complaints for which it Is claimed to cure.
