"There were men in the South whom uo

or brave mcu ; they were the small, mean
and spiteful. We exjweted nothing of
them, but were willing they should nurse
their venom and miserably live out their
generation. We did not dream, however,
that these men or any of them would be
put forward as representatives of the
Southern people, or that they themselves
would have the assurance to ask office at
the hands of any political parly. Above
all, we could uot suppose that any party
would take the responsibility of making
them representative by giving thero official
positions.

The recent vigorous measures for the
suppression of the "Molly Mnguirc1' out
rages and the arrest of the criminals be
token a better state of things for the Schuyl
kill coal region than that which has at
long been its disgrace. It is hard for peo
ple living at $ distance to understand that
in the heart of Eastern Pennsylvania, the
veutre of what is usually looked upon a9
the most cultivated, peaceful and law-abid
ing portion of the country, ;i gaug of ruf
fians could exist who dared go to any length
of crime, even to the most heinous and
desperate known the open murder of men
in broad daylight, in the presence of their
friends and yet go not ouly uuwhipped
but practically unmolested of justice.. Yet
this has heretofore been the simple, unex
aggerated fact, as tho blood of dozens of
of murdered men cries from the ground to
testify. That it is to be the case no longer
is made manifest by the way the Doyle
trial was conducted and still more so by
the arrests and disclosures which have
followed it in such a dramatic and start
ling array. While we do not yet know all
that has been done or arranged for, and
are not permitted to publish all we t'm
know, enough has been made public to
warrant the belief that all the plans of the
Mollie Maquires are in the hands ot the
officers of lhe law. the chief conspirators
and the most guilty criminals are known,
their long immunity from punishment is at
an end, their terrorism has lost its force,
and the breaking up of their organization
is inevitable. A power as secret, as mys
terious, as themselves aud more powerful
has eeu working against them and the
results of its work are now coming to light.
While all good citizeus must rejoice at
this healthful change in the situation,
their is one thing about it which the people
of the region ought to be heartily ashamed
of, aud that is the means by which it has
been brought about or rather the means
by which it was )'; brought about before.
1 1 was not the people of Schuylkill county
by the legal officers and the regular ma
chinery of the law ; they have been letting
the Mollie Maguires go ou from bad to
worse and grow more reckless and law
defying year after year. It was not lhe
people acliug irregularly through thequon
dom "vigilance committees" which became
so suddeuly iiopular and made so mauy
mysterious threats a few months ago; all
they did was to kill a man who may or
may not have been a murderer and a wom
an whom uo body suspected. We do not
blame them for not doing more. They did
too much as it was ; but at their rate it
would have taken a long lime to do what
a single power has done without excitement
without breaking the laws and, Inrst of all,
without bloodshed. What that power is
lias not b'.cn officially proclaimed, but every
body knows. 4t is an open secret. The
arrests of these men were made by the Coal
aud Irou police. It is not pretended that
they acted under the authority of any but
their regular employer, and theiremployer
is the Philadelphia and Readiug Coal oud
Irou Company. In a word, the Company
found that it did not "pay" to have lhe
Molly Maguires carrying on their peculiar
operations about its works. They created
too much confusion and made good mining
bosses entirely too scarce ; so, as a matter
of business policy, the Company found
itself obliged to suppress them, and acting
we bviievc, iu concert with some or all of
the other large coal mining corporations,
it is doing so in a manner which, while it
promises to be very effectual, is perfectly
legal and only what any corporation or any
citizeu might do. aud what the regular
public officers are legally bound to do.
Then why don't they do it ? The ques
tion is one which wc have frequently con
sidered. We think thir are more reasous
than one. Pereonal cowardice probably
has something to do with it; politics has
more, for the Mollies have votes, and not
only "stand by their friends," but frequent
ly elect them to office, and have shown be
foie now that Ihey possessed influence
enough with the Democracy to secure the
nomination of one id' their number to a
high judicial position; audi, lastly, there
really seems to lie a great deal of public
sentiment manufactured in their favor.
Counterfeit public sentiment it is, of course
and by uo meaus lhe sentiment of the peo
ple ; yet such as it is, it has been good
enough in the past to deceive judges and
juries and exert a coutrolliug influence up
on the pardoning power. Else why, of all
the murderers with which Schuylkill coun
ty has leemed, have so few been brought to
the bar of justice, fewer still convicted, and
none ever hanged, except a poor negro and
a friendless boy 't
It was this kind of public sentiment that
humbugged the easily influenced Board of
Pardons into believing that the people of
Schuylkill couuty desired tho release of the
imprisoned ex-Cominis.sioucrs, when iu
point of fact, there was uothiug the people
desired less. Their conviction was hailed
with the most unfeigned delight by ail re
spectable classes of society, it was heralded
fioui one end of the State to the other as
something to rejoice over, a triumph of
houesty and tight, over fraud and unblush
ing rascality ; aud fioui all pans of the
Stale came congratulations on this success
ful stroke for houesty and efficiency in the
public service. Yet lhe bolts were scarce
ly turned behiud the prisoners before cer
tain local politicians were at work to secure
their release for what purpose we do not
know ; we were not in their confidence ;
but the nature ot the case forbids the idea
that it was for any good. Neither do we
kuow how many of the names on the long
pelilious laid before the Board of Pardons
were iu the same handwriting, nor how
many genuine signatures were purchased
a glas ot beer apiece. We do not know
that some highly important names were
wanting ; and it is another instance of
Governor Hartranft's consistently upright
aud honorable course that, although the
Board of Pardons suffered itself to be per
suaded, he has unequivicaily decliued to
pardon th: guilty men uulcss these names
are added.
This hold pii.ee of political trickery shows
the public abroad of of the difficulties in
the way of that suppression of Mollie M.i
guireism for which lhe papers have so long
beeu clamoring. It was not safe to do too
much iu bringing about the arrost or even
the cotivictiou of men who had such influ
ential friends, aud who never forgot or for
gave an injury. The Commissioners wer
uot Mollie MagT.res, so far as we know,
but many more lucky convicts were, and
as we said above, there are politicians here
who think their influence woith courting.
But the parly which is after them iu not a
political party, and if the cases it has taken
iu baud are worked up as well as we have
heard intimated it will Wave small ground
for politicians to base a plea for pardon on.
It is this which gives our citizens reason to
hope that their deliverance from oppression
and tcnorisin is at hand.

extracted from a long article in the
(oiiidii. will no doubt prove interesting to
many personal friends of the Colonel who
lead the 7(Jlh hegiment at the out outbreak
of the late war.
'The first blood of the regiment was shed
at Blackburn's Ford a skirmish prelimi
nary to the disastrous battle of Bull Run.
On that occasion, although under fire and
aud unable to return the compliment, the
mcu behaved like veterans. On the niorn-
irv ot thi! battle of Bull Run. the men of
the regiment were called up at half past
one. The long march and longer fait had
no doubt, something to do with the events
of that day. The. regiment kept well to
gether, however, until it c.ime to the scene
of the repulse of the tire Zouaves, the l llh
Brooklin, and the tiOth, which, from a place
of comparative security, the 79lh witness

proached, and shouted, V.Uh, see that you

magnificent charger the command was
given "7'.Hh iuto line, forward, charge !"
aud the "Highlanders," with a serious re
solve in their looks, commenced the assault
Obstructing fences and a rouzh country
broke and crooked their line so that all
regularity was lost, and as fast as one

melted away to be replaced by the next
until but a scattered and disorganized
remuant as left facing the foe.
Colonel Cameron, with his largu mili
tary hat on its ostrich feathers waving in
the wind stood almost alone, a conspicu
ous object for the enemjs sharpshooters.
He held his sword aloft, as if to rally bis
men just then au officer of his com
mand, Lieut. Elliott, standing by him and
seeing that further effort was useless, and
becoming apprehensive for the Colonel's
safety, suggested to him to gel under cover
but before a reply could be given, a bul
let glanced from a tree near them, and
with an audible thud, struck the Colonel
on the breast. The Lieutenant asked him
if he was much hurt, but the Colonel nev
er answered. He stood motionless for a
rnomcut, his sword arm fell, and trem
bling violently, as if iu a chill, dmpt easi
ly into the lieutenant's arms dead. And
so, in this most befitting manner, died as
pure and true a soldier as ever led men
iuto battle. Some of his officers and men
even thus exposed, inspired by the words
of Captain Ellis, "Men. don't desert your
colonel, took his remains to a place then
considered safe. In doing so, however,
several were shot down. In the confusion
of the retreat that afternoon, when SAUVA
iUA I'ECT was the order of the day, the
body was left to lhe tender mercies of the
victors, who, even then at that early stage
of the war, showed how chi valric Ihey real
ly were by the barbarous disposition they
made of the remains.
About eight mouths after the battle,
when the rejiment was on duty in South
Carolina, and McClellen had made his ad
vance iuto Virginia before taking his army
to Yorktown, Major Albau V. Ellioii,
when a stuff officer! siaifoned in Washing
ton, and having authority lrom General
Cameron to avail himself of the first oppor
tunity offering to recover the remains of
his brother, took advantage of the move
ment of the army, and proceeded hi me on
that mission. Passing the ma n bo.lv of
the army which had halted this side of
Fairfax Court House, he pursued and over
took the advauco cavalry at Centrevillc.
He disregarded the advice of the command
ing officer there, who warned him of his
danger, and without other aid save his
trust iu Providence, a j,ocd pistol and the
rightousness of his mission, proceeded
to the battle field, about ten miles away
passing ou the road the deserted camps of
the euemy. He was successful after reach
ing the ground, iu tinc'ing a colored man
who could recognize the spot where Colonel
Cameron was hurried ; but wishing to be
positive beyond question on so serious a
subject as the proper ideutiticatiou of the
body af'.er it was found, considering the
length of lime it had been buried, he made
au appointment with tho man for the next
day after, and hurried back to Washington
for the young man who had beeu formerly
the Colonel's orderly, and wlio; knowl
edge of the clothes the Colonel had mi when
killed might be of service. Returning
again as soon as possible, without waitiug
to rest, accompanied by the young mau,
and linking aaiu the colored tn.iu spoken
of, they were piloted to the place of burial.
It was ou the side of a bill, near a farm
house, on the edge of a rain washed gully.
They were iuformed by the colored man
who was with them, aud who had formerly
beeu a slave in the house close by, that
after the battle, the bodies of the Uniouists
were left unburied about the house, and
becoming offeusive to the inmates, he was
ordered to get a cart, gather up the bodies
and bury them out of sight, which hu did.
with the assistance of his master. The
first body placed iu the cart was that of
Colonsl Cameron ; tive others were thrown
in on lop of him. They were taken to a
shallow pit. already prepared, and threw
iu pell mell. The Colonel's bidy, being
the under one iu the cart, would b. of
course, the upper one iu the heap. He
knew Colonel Cameron's body was buried
their, because the fact was generally knowu
thereabouts, and also beca use of a locket
taken from his body afier he was killed,
which fully established his identity. It
was just as the colored man had said, for
after moving the thin covering of dirt and
an old blanket from over the body, an ap
palling sight met the caze of those present,
too horrible to titBcribe. For three hours
they worked in that pit of death to obtain
from it the Colonel's body intact, aud were
entirely successful. The identification was
established beyond a doubt, and the re
maius taken to Washington. They were
favored by fortune throughout. The re
giou of the battlefield was immediately
afterwards again in the hands of the enemy
and the colored people scaltcied. Colonel
Cameron's body was afterwards taken to
Iiewisburg, Pa., where a grand military
funeral was accorded it. A fitting uiouu
ment now marks the place of that nnal
burial, where, in peace among his native
hills, it will repose uutil the last creat roll
call."

William Keipsom, who resides on a little
farm three miles from Proctorville, in Plun
ketl's Creek township, is reported to have
raised Cve sons, the youngest of whom is
twenty-two years of age, and neither one
of them can read or write, or tell a one
dollar bill from hundred dollar note. What
is more remarkable still, these boys are

Addi.no to the Duties ok the Buk
UEs?. There is now an act before our
Slate legislature, extending the ; powers
and fuuetions, as well as term of office, of
the chief burgess of boroughs. It makes
that office a judicial one. The act gives
burgesses "lhe same powrrs and authority
that the justice of the peace of the several
counties of this Commonwealth now have
or may have conferred upon them hereafter,
and they 6hall have co-extensive and con
current jurisdiction with said justices of
the peace in all civil and criminal proceed
ings, and shall have power to take acknowl
dgements, celebrate marriges, and generally
do all things which said justices of the
peace may or lawfully can do."
John Russell Young, who is making a

ters of the situation and can absolutely
control it. Make greenbacks receivable
for all dues, if possible, and convertible
into bonds ; let the banks aioue ; and when
they get possession of the Government
they may be able to act with wisdom and
effect." What it cau mean by being able
to act with "wisdom and effect" it is diffi
cult to imagiue. Its proposition to vir
tually repudiate tho debt, violate the pledge
made to lhe world by the act restricting
legal tender currency to $400,000,UJO, how
ever, is made with a boldness which ouht
to satisfy the most ardent inflationist.
The Democracy, fortuuately are not likely
soon to be "masters of Ihe situation," and
the country will therefore escape the dis
play of their latent "wisdom."
