TnK Democratic ring in Maryland has
so throughly absorbed control of the party
affairs in that state that their is a generally
expressed desire for an independent move
ment in opposition to the ticket recently
nominated. Tbe Baltimore American
says there are a great many Democrats
who are already poing into Buch a move
ment. Without solicitation, and entirely
of their own motion, they insist that a
non-partisan reform ticket should be placed
in the field, and they guaranU to work
and vote for it. They are the opposite of
insignificant in numbers and influence,
and they are anxious to go into the fight as
a matter of principle, while their con Cdence
in the result is really sanguine. Their is
a genuine and enthusiastic revolt upon the
part of men who are nothing but Demo
crats against the ring and tbe ring ticket,
and the intention of breaking down the
system of fraud and corruption which
tbey represent, and no mere abuse or call
ing of hard times will turn them from their
purpose. They will be beard and felt be
tween now and the day of election, and a
full and fair discission of the situation is
pre cisely that which they are the most de
siriousof. There are a multitude- of vo
ters in Maryland wbo are not to be-Winded
by platforms and candidates to, the evils
which are involved in the coatiauance of

Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana, whom
the White League first attempted to assas
sinate, and failing in that, sought by revo
lution, to overturn tbe whole State govern
ment and thus get rid of him, is not con
tent with a quiet performance of bis du
ties and the gradual reduction of the State
debt, but is engaged in tbe good work of
investigating the corruption of the Audi
tor's office. He recently appointed experts
to examiue the affairs of that office, and
has just addressed a letter to tbe Attorney
General with a brief statement of the result
of that examination. He says :
The investigations that have taken place
before the civil and criminal courts, and
tbe investigation and report of the State
examiners, disclose gross culpability on the
part of other persons, whose acts have in
jured the State and have cast discredit on
the government for years. I especially
call your attention to the record in this
respect, and request that you will imme
diately take prompt measures to bring to
justice all those who have been guilty of
defrauding the Slate, as disclosed by these
inquiries.

The house was densely crowded with peo
ple, and the speeches were all enthusiasti
cally received. Eloquent addresses were
delivered by ex-Seuator John Scott, Hon.
C. S. Wolf, Gen. Harry XL Iloyt, Chair
man of the Republican State Committee,
and others. Tbe greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed, and the highest con Cdence was ex
pressed on all sides on the result of the

We often hear Thomas Jefferson spoken
of as "the father of Democracy.' This is
true in one sense and false in the other.
Jefferson's parly up to 1816 was known as
the Republican party. It was so called by
Jefferson, known as such among its follow
ers, and was so styled in all the party calls
published during that period. Therefor,
correctly speaking, Jefferson was the fath
er of the Republican parly. The term Dem
ocracy was fixed upon Jefferson's party by
its opponents in order to create odium
against it. After Jefferson's time it be
came a popular name with tbe party and
was finally adopted by it.
There is a growing disregard for party
ties throughout the country, which renders
the nomination of the very best men in
cither organization necessary to success.

a wife showed the same wisdom that a man
shows who saddles his party with an im
proper candidate on the ground of person
al friendship or because he has been im
portuned so much that he votes for a man
just to get rid of him.'
The final survey for the Lehigh aud
Eastern railroad is now being made, and
the work of grading will shortly be com

Har.leton, in this State, to about one mile
east of Port Jervis, New York, where it
will connect with the Erie, The distance
of the new route is ninety-eight and one
half miles, and runs from Ilazlelon over
the Pocono mountains, crossing the Dele

west of Stroudsburg, thence passing up the
Delaware valley to Port Jervis.
A Washington dispatch says that the re
cent statements in newspapers to the effect
that the President had on the 28th of June
last addressed a letter to Secretary Delano
asking for his resignation and that Mr.
Delano had visited Long Branch and be
sought the President to retain him in the
cabinet, are without any foundation what
ever. No such letter was ever written by
the President; ueithcr has Mr. Delano
been to Long Branch this season.

guished herself by faith that he was alive
and would return, and by her great efforts
to aid him.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
AdIreN of the Republican Mate
Committee.
A CAMPAIGN OF UNUSUAL IMPORTANCE
CANDIDATES IN EVERY WAY WORTHY
OF CONFIDENCE THE REPUBLICAN
RALLYING CRY.
The Republican Slate committee has is
sued tbe following address ;
To the Rfjiullicans of Pennsylvania :
The political campaign upon which we
are entering is one of mora than ordinary
importance, and we therefore invoke your
hearty co-operation in our efforts to press
the claims of the Republican party to pub
lic confidence aud support.
The success of that party is essential, in
our judgment, to the prosperity of the
State, to tbe perpetuity of the union, and
to the permanence of the principles upon
which the government is founded.
REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
The control of the administration of
State affairs fell into the Republican hands
in 1861, and we point with pride to the re
cord of that control. The State debt has
been reduced from forty millions to twenty
three millions of dollars ; the State taxes
upon real estate' and upon the personal pro
perty employed in agricultural pursuits
have been repealed ; the resources of the
State have been developed ; the admiral
school system which distinguished our
commonwealth, has been fostered aud
strengthened ; the orphans of her brave
soldiers who fell in the war have been fed,
clothed, educated and fitted for active life ;
and the varied interests of the people have
been protected and encouraged.
Under no previous administration has
the State been so uniformly prosperous and
well cared for ; and the slight experience
which people had last winter of one branch
of the legislature under Democratic control
may well lead them to the conviction that
they have everything to lose and nothing
to gain by a change in the administration
of public affairs.
TOE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
The candidates for State offices present
ed by tbe Republican party are in every
way worthy of public confidence and of a
hearty support. Governor Hartranft, dur
ing his six years' service as auditor-gen
eral, earned a very nisru character as a
public officer, and his nd ministration of
the executive department has won the re
spect and commendation of all, without
distinction of party. Unflinching integri
ty, unbending honesty and faithful atten
tion to tbe duties of his office, have charac
terized his administration throughout, and
certainly no governor ever more richly de
servyd a re-election.
Our candidate for State Treasurer is a
new man in public life, but one In whom
are combined all the qualifications of a good
public officer. His capacity for the place
is admitted by all, and Lis business ability
is also conceded by his political opponents.
Having, therefore, a State ticket strong
in all the elements that commend candi
dates to public favor, a platform of princi
ples which has challenged the admiration of
Republicans throughout the country, aud
a record of State administration to which
we can all look back with pardonable pride,
we are justified, as a party, in claiming
that we have met our responsibilities, and
that we are entitled to a continuance of
public confidence.
RFPCRLICAN PRINCIPLES.
Parties are worthy of support only so long
as thev advance wite and natxu,l ;
a r. .ic -ure TiDDest and efficient
administration of public affair ; and as the
Republican party is entitled to the credit
of both, it justly lays claim to a verdict of
popular approval.
There are many matters of detail in
which the Republican party differs from
the Democratic ; but there is one radical
difference which, so long as it exists, will
render the existence of the Republican par
ty a public necessity. That difference con
sists in the fact that the Republican party
believes that the United States form a na
tion with all the functions of a national
sovereignty, while the Democratic party
regards the national government as a mere
league between tbe States, which are each,
in its view, sovereign and independent.
Tbe Republicans believe in the indissolu
bility of the Union of tbe States, whilst tbe
Democratic party believes that the federal
government has no power to protect its
own existence or prevent anj' State from
asserting its idependence.
DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES.
This is a difference which involves the
very life of the government. When the
rebellion broke out in 18G1, while James
Buchanan was still in office as President,
be shrank appalled from the duty of preser
ving the union intact, and yielded to the
advice of his attorney-general that there
was no power in the general government
to coerce a State. Had that rebellion oc
curred at the beginning, instead of at the
close, of his administration, it would have
been at once successful. Under the Demo
cratic idea of State rights, Mr. Buchauan
would have been compelled to let the south
ern States go.
With the prominence at present given by
the Democratic party to its oue distinguish
ing doctrine of Slate sovereignty, as oppo
sed to that of national sovereignty, the ad
vent of that party to power iu the nation
would naturally bring with it the danger
of a second assertion of the right of States
to secede from the uuion. Our previous
experience of the inability of the Democra
tic party in power to attempt the coercion
of a rebellious State should certainly be
sufficient to teach the people the danger of
entrusting the government to hands too
weak or too unwilling to protect it.
A REIUOUS DRAWBACK.
Should it ever become necessary, here
after, to assert the power of the general
government to promote the public welfare,
in any matter of general concern, as for
instance, in preventing local restrictions
uHn the free transmutation of persons or
iu removing natural obstructions thereto,
the democratic doctrine, faithfully adhered
to, would prevent that party from legisla
ting upon it, congressionall y. The nation
al government cannot, in fact, be carried
on successfully, nor can the necessities of
a people, with interests so great and so
grand as those of the American people, be
projterly met and provided for by any par
ty holding strictly to the idea that gov
ernment is but a federal league of separate
and independent State sovereignties.
' TUB REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
. The Republican party of the State and
the natiou stand now as ever, by the rights
of labor as entitled to the protection of the
government ; by universal freedom and un
iversal education ; by the public school
system, with the taxation of all for its sup
port, and opposed to any division of the
school fund for any purpose whatever ; by
tbe common law of the nation which inter
dicts a third election to the Presidency ; by
a tariff so ad justed ns to be the least bur
thensome and most favorable to the inter
ests of labor and Industry ; by the financial
legislation which secures free banking upon
a sound basis ; and provides fora safe and
uniform currency, sufficient for the public
wants ; by such a revision of the patent
as will relieve industry from oppression
and secure to the inventor a fairrenumera
tiou ; by a faithful execution of the laws,
the suppression of lawlessness, and the en
forcement of the constititions as it stands ;
and by that general policy which will pre
serve tho union intact, whether assailed
from within or without.
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
We are now eutering upon the closing
year of tho first century of American inde
pendence ; and it behooves the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, who believe heartily not
only in the words but in the spirit of the
declaration of independence, to show their
faith by their works, and rally firmly and
unitedly to the support of their principles.
We council them, in the view of the inter
ests which are at stake, to forget all their
past differences ; to organize actively and
efficiently ; to present none but good and
true men for local offices ; and standing
firmly by what tbey believe and know to
be right, demonstrate their claim to public
confidence. The second century of our
national existence should begin as tbe first
one did, by a supreme devotion to Republi
can principles to which only a Republican
administration in State or nation can be or
will be faithful.
UNITY, PROGRESS, PROSPERITY.
The experience of the past furnishes
abundant evidence that the best interests
of the neoole demand the continuance of
j j
the euligbtened and liberal course of the
Republican party in its well defined and
clearly announced purpose to foster the
agricultural, industrial and commercial in
terests of the country ; in its policy which
has led to a reduction of seventeen millions
of the State debt and six hundred millions
of the national debt; in its judicious sys
tem of internal improvements having for
their objects the enlargement of facilities
and reductions in the cost of transportation
for our inter-state co mmerce : in its firm
adherence to an indissoluble uuion and to
the unity and sovereignty of the nation ;
in its honest and faithful administration of
laws ; and in its stem devotion to the prin
cioles of truth and progress. Firm in that
conviction we confidently present our plat
form and candidates for public support,
thoroughly assured that in their success
will be found the true and only road to na
tional unity, national progress and nation
al prosperity.

REMINISCENCES of a sufferer.
A gentleman who has just returned from
Cherokee county, Kansas, is full with re
markable reminiscences of the grasshop
pers infesting that vicinity. He will stand
around for no hour, relating the hair
breadth escapes of the people whom the
hoppers have completely over-run, and who
are tearing their homes and fleeing from
the fearful scourage. Tbe traveler is in
dined to think that many of the crimes at
tributcd to the James boy, are to be traced
to the hardened and dissolute grasshoppers,
many of whom, he says, are arming with
shot guns and organizing a sort of home
guard for offensive and defensive purposes
One of his credible stories is to the effect
that, a few weeks ago. a woman dug up a
panful of dirt in which to plant some
dower seed. She put the pan under the
stove and went out to see a neighbor.
ITrmn her return, after an hour's aliKftiu--slie
found seven thousand bushels of grass
hoppers generated by the heat, literally
eating her out of house and home. They
first attacked the green shades on the win
dows and then a green painted dust pan.
A green Irish servaut girl, asleep in one of
the rooms, was the next victim, and not a
vestige of her was left. The stove and
stovepipe followed, aud then the house was
torn down so they could gel at the chimney.
Boards, joists, beams, plaster, clothing,
nails, hinges, door knobs, plates,, tiuwarc,
everything, in fact, the house coutained,
was eaten up. aud when she arrived within
a mile of the house she saw two of the
largest hoppers sitting up on end and play
ing mumble-peg with the carving knife, for
which should have the cellar. The way
the matter leaked out was on a suit brought
against the insurance company, which re
fused to pay tbe policy, on the ground that
the building was not destroyed by fire ;
but the court rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff, as she had proved that the grass
hoppers were generated by the fire in the
stove. Leave nicoitli Times.
Case of Drowning. Mr. George W.
Baker, formerly of Walsontown, has re
cently returned from Norfolk, Va., where
he has been living for several years. The
wife of Mr. Baker was drowned on July
5th, while out in a pleasure boat with
several others. Their boat was struck aud
sunk by a steamer. Twelve persons in all
weie drowned. Mr. Baker was on the
boat and made a narrow escape. He en
deavored to save his wife but was compell
ed to let her go to save himself. The body
of Mrs. Baker was recovered after being iu
tbe water four days. Her remains were
temporarily buried, and will probably be
brought to Miltou this fall. Williamsjiort

The Mountain Meadow Maitsaere.
In September, 1857, an emigrant train,
numbering considerably over a hundred
souls, were on their way to California, and
when at Beavor Meadow, about 300 miles
beyond Salt Lake City, they were set upon
and nearly all massacred, by what was
supposed to be Indians ; but it was subse
quently discovered that the leaders in the
massacre were Mormons. Some of these
Mormons are now on trial at Beavor, Utah
for the murder, and in referring to the
trial the N. Y. S'i says :
In August, 1857, a large tram ot emi
grants on their way to California reached
Salt Lake City. It was the finest tram
that had ever attempted the overland
route. Several elegant carriages were
among the vehicles, for the accommodation
of ladies of the party, and their were many
women aud children in the train. It is
said that the finest of these carriages was
for years afterwards used by a family of
Mormons. Alter laying in tneir supplies
in Salt Lake City, this party proceeded to-1
ward California, and that was the last that
was known of them for a long time. It
was fully a year before any of their friends
received tho least intimation of their fate.
Three hundred miles from Salt Lake, on
the road to Los Angeles, California, is a
meadow five miles in length by one in
breadth with a very fine spring at one end,
affording an excellent camping ground.
Here the emigrant party encaropod in or
der to recruit their stock before entering
upon what was then called the Great Des
ert, and here, in the month of September,
the massacre took place.
According to the commonly accepted
story of the slaughter, the emigrants were
attacked while encamped, by Indians, who
bad been set upon them by Mormons, and
by Mormons disguised as Indians, and ten
or twelve men were killed before , any one
understood that they were in danger.
The remainder of the party at once seized
their arms, cutrenched themselves behind
their wagons, and prepared for a determin
ed resistance. For a week, with their
women and children lying inthe trenches
they had dug, the emigrants tnautained
their position, and kept their enemies
at bay. Then the Mormons resolved
on strategy. The firing by the Indians
ceased, and the besieged party, look
ing up the meadow, saw a wagon full of
white men coming toward thera. These
men proved to be John D.Lee and other
Mormon dignitaries, who offered to medi
tate with the indians. As the Mormons
and Indians were known to be on good
terms, tbe offer was gladly accepted, aud
his associates bad conferred with the at
tacking party of savages, it was agreed
that the emigrants should surrender their
arms and other property, and return by
the road they came. The Mormons on
their part promised to guard and protect
the party until they should reach the set
tlements. Having given up their arms, the emi
grants left their wagons and stock and
started northward on foot. Tbe women
and children were in front, the men follow
ed, and in tho rear was a guard of forty
Mormons. Hardly had this sorrowful pro
cession started on its way wben a fire was
poured into them from an ambush, follow
ed by an attack from the Mormons in the
rear, and in a few minutes one hundred
aud twenty men, women and children lay
slaughtered upon the ground. Seventeen
of the youngest children were saved and
adopted by Morman families, and it is said
that three men escaped immediate death.
But one of these was afterward murdered
by tbe Indians ; another starved to death,
and the third was killed upon the Colorado,
though by whom it is not known.
The evidence produced in tbe pending
trial all goes to show that this account of
the massacre is substantially correct Phil
ip K. Smith, one of the defendants, who
was a Mormon bishop at the time of the
massacre, appeared as State's evidence,
and gave a full description of the slaughter
with all its horrible details ; as well as an
account of the deliberations among the
Mormon leaders which preceded the butch
ery, in which, against his will as he says,
he wa ft" o-prticirntc.- Th massa
cre was resolved upou by Mortnou, bishops
and councillors, Lee aud W. II. Dwrae be
ing among the most couspicious iu plan
ing and executing the crime. The descrip
tion which Smith gives of the slaughter
fully confirms all thai has heretofore been
reported of its barbarous character.
In 1859, Judge Cradlebaugh, a Federal
judge appointed by Buchanan, attempted
to bring the perpetrators of this horrible
crime to justice, but failed. It is doubted
whether the preseut trial will result in the
conviction of Lee and his associates, etuuo
eight of the jurors are Mormons; while it
is eaid that some of them are near relatives
of persons who are deeply implicated in tlia
murders.

STEAM AM DEATH.
TERRIFIC LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLO
SION NEAR PORT JERVIS.
Port Jervis, July 24. The most ter
rific locomotive boiler explosion ever
known ou the Erie railway, occurred ou
the Delaware division last night, eight miles
west of Port Jervis, resulting in the instant
death of three men and the demolition
of thousands of dollars worth of property.
The locomotive was attached to an extra
coal train from Honesdale, Jefferson Fuller,
engineer. When the train reached the
point named above, it was flagged by a
train ahead of it and came to a stop. The
flagman of the leading train, Joseph Bon
nell, jumped on the pilot of the engine he
had flagged, for the purpose of riding some
distance towards his train. Fuller's train
was kept at a stand still for a few minutes,
when the signal was given to go ahead. A
brakeman who was on the twelfth car was
looking at the engineer, and says that as
he placed his hand upon the throttle the
explosion took place. The fire box was
blown out and the locomotive lifted bodily
from the track and thrown backwards,
lighting on the tender, bottom side up.
The air was filled with flying fragments,
and for some time heavy pieces of iron fell
along the train, demolishing cars and en
dangering employees.
As soou as possible after the explosion
a trainman started on foot to Port Jervis
to announce the casualty the headquarters.
He was but an hour walking the eight
miles, and gave the alarm. Superintend
ent Thomas at once ordered a wrecking
train to proceed to the scene of disaster,
and accompanied it with Dr. Sol. Vanet
ten and others.
Beneath the ruins were found the bodies
of James Stevenson, the fireman, and Jo
seph Bonnell, the flagman. The body of
the engineer could not be found, and it
was not until after midnight that it was
discovered in a tree, over one thousand
feet away from the locomotive, on the sum
mil of a hill, which was seventy feet high ;
. ... .,1
from the railroad. His watch hung on the
limb by his side stopped at eight o'clock.
Every bone in his body was broken, but
his face was not injured in the slightest.
The three bodies were placed in a car
and brought to Fort Jervis as soon as
possible. The noise of the explosion was
heard five miles away.' Several tclcgiaph
poles were broken down and the telegraphic
communication cut off for some time.
Cooner D. T. Cox, of this place, has sum
moned a jury to hold an inquest ou the
bodies of the victims of the disaster. All
the unfortunate men leave families. Ful
ler and Stevenson lived in Honesdale, Pa.,
aud Bonnell iu Pike county. The latter
had made but one or two trips ou the road.
Tbe cause of the explosiou is as yet a mat
ter of ennjectiua, which the coroues's jury
alone can throw light upon. The loss to
the company is about twenty thousand
dollars.
l'OTTSVILLE, July 2U.
The case of Mock, the defaulting cashier
of tbe Ashland Savings Bank, whose dis
appearance about a week ago was reported
in the Times, proves, on investigation, to
be much worse than was at first supposed.
He bad tbe implicit confidence of the bank
officials and of the people of Ashland, and
waa not only permitted but expected to
have all the business of the concern in bis
own bands.
It is now said thai he abused this con
Cdence iu every way. He would discount
notes at a high figure, nod return them to
the bank at a low figure, putting the differ
ence in his pocket ; and would receive de
positors books, but making no correspond
ing entries on the books of the bank. He
was also agent for the Lycoming aud Potls
ville Mutual Insurance Companies, aud do
frauded the former of $1,000 nd the latter
of $700 in premiums collected and not
turned over. It is thought that he has
been carrying on his swindliug operations
for years, and the total amount he has rea
lized in this way is estimated at $50,000,
The investigation into the bank's affairs
is not yet finished, but it is now known
that Mock has defrauded it of from $15,
000 to $20,000. The amount of ils liabili
ties is $70,000. Its nominal assets are
$110,000, but these have been so manipu
lated by Mock that they are scarcely worth
$70,000, and will require a long time to
realize thai. It has suspended business,
and will wind up its affairs without at
tempting to rvsumu. The excitement
among the depositors, which at first was
very great, is now subsiding, as they have
confidence iu the directors, and readily
take their pledge to realize on the bank's
assets as speedily as possible and discharge
all liabilities remaining, after a reasonable
time, out of their private funds.
Nothing is kuown of Mock's vrhcrea
bouts. He was traced across the country
to Georgetown, on the Northern Central
Kailway, where he bought a ticket for Wil
liamsport, but beyond that point all trace
of him is lost. The bank has offered n re
ward of $1,000 for his arrest.
Jay Cooke's Creditors IissatlIiel.
Washington, IX C, July 22, 1875.
A large number of the creditors of Jay
Cooke & Co. in this city have yet refrained
from accepting the meagre dividend of five
per cent., declared more than six months
ago by the trustees. It is understood thnt
ibis course has also been pursued by some
of the large creditors in New York and
Philadelphia, who are of the opinion that
something much better should have been
offered them, and are not willing to accept
so small a portion when it might be an ob
stacle to the legal proceedings which it is
contemplated to take. To-day all this
class of creditors received through the
mails a circular from the Trustee, urging
them to signify their acceptance of the divi
dend which for the reasons here given they
have hitherto declined.
The London Times of Saturday contain
ed an elaborate article in favor of the cen
tennial exhibition.

New York, July 27.
The doors of Duncan, Sherman & Co.
were closed at 11:25 o'clock.
Ouly iu a general way can the causes of
the suspension be ascertained. It is ad
milted that the bouse has lost very largely
on cotton ; in fact, that is the principal
source of loss.
Involvements wilh various railroad en
terprises, old and new, also entailed losses
on the house. Their liabilities are under
stood to be between five and 6ix millions.

HOT WEATHER AND CRIME.
Is there any connection between hot
weather and crime ? Does tbe sun breed
contentions and give men a thirst for
blood ? It would seem so. Since the heat
ed term commenced there has been in New
York
A CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
Last Sunday a negro quarreled with
others over the gambling table and killed
three men with a knife before he was se
cured. The same day a sou shot bis
father, a woman was killed by her husband
and the police reports in the morning show
ed no less than eigbten assaults with dead
ly weapons. Hot weather seems to make
rum more effective for evil. Aud speaking
of
GAMBLINO among negroes,
it is wonderful what a hold the passion has
upon them. Talk of the Chinese I The
negro, that is to nvy the low, uneducated
negro, will discouut them. A new game
runs with them a most furious course. Just
now
SPANISH MONTE
is the rage. It was brought here from the
South, and every negro who gambles at all
stays by it as long as he can raise a nickel.
It was over a game at Spanish monte that
the trouble originated last Suuday. The
game is very simple. Tbe dealer deals two
cards from tho bottom of the pack, and lays
them on the table face upwards, say a ten
and a acace tnea the bettin" bezins. The
o
betters lay their money on whichever card
they choose, and when all have bet who
want to, tho dealer turua tbe pack face up
wards and goes on. The first card he lays
next to himself and ;he next the other side
of the table, and so on. Suppose you are a
negro and have a nickel on the ten. Very
good. Now tho first ten decides the fate of
that nickel. If it comes on the pile next the
dealer he gobbles it if on the other pile, he
pays you an equal amount. It is a kind
of sy nullified faro. But the darkeys are
playing it everywhere, with all the ardor
that belongs to lhat most excitable of all
the races.
boss tweed
is slowly working his way toward liberty,
and there is a strong probability that a few
more months will sec the old vi'lian at
large, with his head up as proudly as ever.
I. his result is foreshadowed by the recent
proceedings before Judge Donohue. I will
not weary your readers with dry detail, but
suQice it to say that in the suit against him
for $(5,000,000, the judge has taken advan
tage of every possible legal technicality to
stave off procedings agaiust him, aud
finally defeat the city. For instance, the
judge decided in such a way that to make
the city successful, it will have to produce
141 vouchers which were known to have
been stolen and destroyed years ago. The
books still in existence show all that tbe
voucher could, but tbe judge insists upon
the destroyed papers. Of course Donohue
is a Tammany democrat. It seems hard
that a known thief cannot be punished
But the affair carries wilh it a moral which
I commend to the republicans iu the Slates
holding elections this fall, which is don't
let the democracy cet their Tweeds into
office at all. It is a fearful task to get rid
of them when they are once solidly fixed.
HARD TI3IES.
You of the country may, and doublles
do, growl of hard times, but you don't know
the meaning of those two terrible words.
We know all about it in New York, for
ousiness is an eutire stand-still. I Here is
uo business lo sneak of. There is a little
flurry in the grain market, and the dritik-ing-house
are busy, but this is all. There
are uo sroods selliuc no real estate beinji
transferred, in short, uo nothing. Stagna
tion is the rule. Now, in the couutry,
where expenses are light, this condition
of a flairs can be borne for a time with some
degree of patience, but not here. You pay
here $12,000 per annum for a store you
have your army of salesmau and clerks on
hand, and you must keep them, for when
trade begins you must have them and this
enormous expenditure eats and cats into
capital at a fearlul rate. Aud the trouble
with us is, that there is no reason to believe
that the fall trade will be any better. The
merchants see no indications of anything
like even a respectable fall seasou. The
people do not seem to be buying of the re
tailers, and per cousequeuce, their stocks
are comparatively heavy. Purchases are
beiug made with great caution, and iu the
smallest possible quantities. This condi
tion of things may be chargeable partially
to the hard times, but I have an idea that
the trade that New York is uow sufferiug
for the want of, she never will get again.
Boston is gottiug part of it, Baltimore still
more, and Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis, Cin-
cinali, Louisville and other inland points
are doubling and quadrupling their busi
ness. It is possible that New York is ab
solutely overgrown, aud that its sceptre
has departed. No matter what the caurc,
the merchants are as blue as indigo, and
are likely to keep so.
THE TRADE HOOK SALE
is about the only sensation in the city at
this time. The publishers and booksellers
of tho United States formed an association
last year, the object being nn annual fair,
where the manufacturers could meet deal
ers. This is the first, and it is a pro
nounced Buccess. All the publishers are
represented, and booksellers are here from
almost every city and town in the country.
Each publisher has his stand on which he
displays samples of his publications. It
surprised me to know lhat in that hall were
thirty-tveo Uiousand different books, pub
lished in this country ! the most of them
having been issued within the past two
years. What an immense amount of paper
and ink must have been consumed, and
what an immense amount of thought ex
pended to produce this vast mass. The
trade is, as in other departments of busi- J
ness, very dull. Buyers are cautious and
sellers are eager.
TnE POLICE
are being hauled over tbe coals by the com
mittee appointed by the Legislature. Some
very curious developments are bt-ing made.
The panel-house business came up incident
ally, and tvhat a panel-house really is was
made known to the legislative Solous. A
suite of rooms are fitted up with doors lhat
resemble panels-that is the room is papered
in panels one panel, however, at the foot
of the bed, being a door that slides noise
lessly. It takes two persons, a man and a
woman, to play the game. Tbe woman
goes on the street, and picks up a verdant
countryman, who, to make it perfectly safe,
ought to be half full of rum, and takes him
to her room. He goes to sleep, leaving his
clothes on a chair that is placed close to.the
concealed door. When once asleep, the
man in the next room slides the panel, cap
tures the clothes, takes everything of
Yalue, and the woman gels up quietly, and
makes her exit by the same door. The
poor man wakes in the morning to find that
he has been plundered, but by whom?
Will he go to the police ? Not much. For
then the fact would get into the papers that
he had been in tbe company of a scarlet
woman, and that would'nt sound well in
Bald winsville, when it should reach that
virtuous village.
A variety of interesting facts were devel
oped. For instance, it was shown that the
detectives were always slower than molasses
in winter in pursuit of thieves, until the
sufferers had seen them with mouey, and
very large mouey too. Then they either
t arrest the thief, or let him escape, just as
it happens. If the plunderer can put up
more money than the plundered, he goes
scot free if not, not. The detectives know
every thief in the country, and could, if
they would, bring every one of them to
book ; but they never do it, unless there is
more to be made thereby than by any other
course.
The commission are deter mined to cor
rect this evil, and it is to be hoped they
will succeed.
THE WEATHER
is fearfully hot, close, damp and muggy.
It a most excellent time to get . away into
the country.

I have not enjoyed cood health for several
years past, yet have not ullowcd It to Interfere
with my labor. Every one belonging to the la
boring class knows the inconvenience of being
obliged to labor when the body, from debility,
almost refuses to perform its daily task. I never
was a believer in dosini; with medicines ; but
havinc heard tho Veoetinb spoken of so highly,
was determined to try it, and shall never regret
that determination. As a tonic (which every
one needs at some time) it snrpases anything I
ever heard of. It Invigorates the whole system;
it is aret cleanser and nunner of tbe blood.
There are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, and all unite in praise of its satisfactory
effect.
Especially anion? tbe agep class of people, it
imparts to them the one thing roost needful in
old nee nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as tbe body
One aged lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrofula, and has become bund from
Its effects, having tried many remedies with no

HEARTFELT PRAYER.
St. Pai l, Aug. 23, 1865.
II. K. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir I should be wanting in gratitude, if
I failed to acknowledge what the V egetine has
done for me. 1 was artacked about eleven
mouths since with Bronchitis, which settled into
Consumption. I had night sweats and fever
chills ; was distressed lor breath, and frequently
spit blood ; was all emaciated, very weak, and
so low that my friends thought in y case hope
less. I was advised to muke a trial of the V egetine,
which, under the providence of God, has cured
me. That he may bless the use of your medi
cine to others, as he has to me, and thnt his di
vine grace may attend yon, is the heartfelt pray
er of yonr admiring, humble servant,

MAKE IT PUBLIC.
Socth Bostos, Feb. 9, 1871.
B. II. Stevens, Es.
Dear Sir I have heard from very many
sources of the great success of Veoetine in cases
of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint,
Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred nature.
I make no hesitation in saying that I know Vege
fine to be most reliable remedy for Catarrh and
General debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried euery supposed r-m?dy that we
could hear of, and with all this she has for sev
eral years been gradually growing worse, and
the discharge from the head was excessive and
very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenc
ed to take Veoetive ; 1 could tee that she was
improving on the second bottle. She coutinned
taking the Vkgetinr until she hud used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy in
informing you and the public (if yon choose to
to mane it public) that she Is eutirclr cured, and
Veoetine accomplished the cure after nothing
eles would. Hence I feel justified in sayiug that
Vecetinb is the most reliable remedy, and
would advise all suffering humanity to try it, for
I believe it to be a good, honest, vegetable medi
cine, aud I shall not hesitate to recommend it.
I am, Ac, rpspectfully,
L. C. CARD ELL,
Store 451 Broadway.
Veoetine acts directly upon the cause of these
complaints. It invigonik-s and strengthens the
whole rysteui, acts upon the secretive organs,
allays inflammation, cleanses and eures ulcera
tion, cures constipation, and regulates tho
bowels.
Has Entirely Cured Me.
Boston, 'October, 1870.
r. Stevens :
Dear Sir My daughter, after having a stvere
attack of whooping cough, was left iu a feeble
state of health. Beiug advised by a friend she
tried the Veoetine, aud after using a few bottles
was fully restored to health.
I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism
I have taken several bottles of the Veoetine for
this complaint, aud am happy to say it has en
tirely cured me. I have recommended the Ve
oetine to others, with the same good results.
It lo a great cleanser and purifier of the blood;
it is pleasant to take ; and I can cheerfully re
commend it.

Perhaps at no period of christian history from
the days in which Christ astonished tbe multi
tude at tbe pool of Betbesda, has such an excite
ment prevailed among the sick as is now created
by the accidental discovery of a fountain of min
eral water which beyond cavil eclipses the whole
fraternity of the learned faculty in restoring to
original health almost every form of chronic dis
ease. Finding it impossible to accommodate the
sick, here the proprietors propose to famish the
concentrated medicine prepared by simply reduc
ing the water by evaporation into a fine powder
or Mass, which posesses all the wonderful virtue
of the water in a cheap and convenient form. The
Mass Is a fine tonic, alterative and absorbent and
is especially useful to ladies suffering from irreg
ularities and affections peculiar to their sex. It
has been universally approved and endorsed by
the Medical Profession wherever introduced, both
as a diuideratum in their materia, and as the best
popular remedy ever offered in the cure of Asth
