' All that was necessary was to adopt thc nominees, Greeley and Brown, without hinting at any c hange of platform, "Hut the Demo- ratiJtacechoitcn ttiiaslcd.unnromirfed to adojit a tubtla nt tally Republican ,latform." It i. apparent therefore, that tb delegates in convention were not fooled. All the Republicans ak ed was the adoption of their candi dates but thc Democratic delegates voluntarily, without ver being solic ited, called for the reading of thc platform and deliberately adopted it It was previously considered, form al surrender and abandonment of the Democratic party and its principles, bv its delegates in convention, and the i-jtsous being fooled, arc those Democrats who arc made believe that the Democratic party will ever again organize as a distinctive party. It was sold out by its chosen leaders at Baltimore, transferred, bag and baggage to the Greeley Republicans, and is no mora. The only unfulfilled portion of the contract, is the deliv-j ery of the voters to their new owners, bv those who consider themselves their masters, and this is to be done by fooling the poor dupes into the le lief that they arc still voting the Democratic ticket when they vote for Greeley. "Anything to lnat Grant" is thc cry which the cunning leaders hope will induce them to shut their eyes and rush into thc Greeley camp. Will it win? A good many Democrats in this county Uk6 to Greeley like tho Hoosier who swore "I kin cat crow, but I don't hanker after it" The fact that the worst and most corrupt portion of the old Democratic party is the most enthusiastic for Greeley, and appears to have taken possesion of him, is ltfginning to sour on the stomachs of the Reformers, who fondlv thought that the i coalition! candidate, with his human petftxlioh and sanctified politics would, if elect ed, take control of the government and run it in their interest It is now beginning to be apparent that the worst corruptionists of both parties arc joining hands for the purpose of securing and dividing the public plun der. The Springfield (Mass.) Repub lican, the leading advocate of Grec leyism in New England, is getting its eyes open, and makes a candid confes sion as follows: That some of the worst men In the country hsre dunned white hats and are hurr.tilnn ' Oroelcv. is a fact pa'" "?

Are "the politi cians of lwth parties who sat at the feet of Mr. Tweed nd "ran at his IkhK," in the habit of serving any bodv or an cause without a very clear ierception ef bring accorded consideration, influence and solid ad vantages bv those they serve ? Yet, according to the Republican, and the fact i6 otherwise notorious, this cluss is both "demonstrtivc'' and "zealous" in support of Mr. Greeley. The Cincinnati Commercial, an other strong Greeley organ, is even more emphatic in its candor, as to Mr. Greeley V present political asso ciations. We quote: It Is true, we believe, that the Democratic partv machinery of New York, including Tammany, Is for Urcclcv.

A F.rAA nrtvirfi mp of tbc Trijtlle reiterates the as sertion, that he is as true to Republi can principles as ever, while every Democrat you meet scoffs at the idea of his having changed 7u views. This oroves conclusively, that neith- - cr principle or honesty controls the action of either, and that the nomina tion of Greeley was simply a cor rupt bargain and sale. Either party will cheat the other the first op portunity that offers, and should this infamous coalition succeed iu obtain ing the control of the government, wc shall have rc-cnacted all the cor ruptions, thefts, and frauds of An drew Johnson's administration, when the offices and honors were bargained for and sold bv the Democrats and i fortunes.

General Wm. Sirwell, of Kittan ning, Armstrong county, who was two years since thc Democratic nom inee for Congress, declines to le transferred to Greeley bv the Balti more sale, and not only refuses to ac cept the Democratic nomination for ConcTess, but announces his deter mination to support General Grant for President, and the entire State and county Republican ticket Gen. Sirwell was a good soldier and fought gallantly during thc relcllion. We wish every Republican to dis- tinctly bear in mind, that the real i contest in Pennsylvania is not bc- tween Grant and Greeley, but be tween Hartranft and Buckalew. If the Republican State ticket is elect ed in October, Grant's triumph in Novcrulier is assured. Remember 1 that thc corrupt coalition made at Baltimore contained thc stipulation, that ihc Greeley Republicans are to support Buckalew in October, in re turn for which Greeley is to get the Democratic vote in November. The pivotal point of thc Presidential cam paign is the success of our State ticket in October. Let no Republi can voter lose sight of this fact rood men ol our otcn party nave We opine that Gen. Covfroth will find some difficulty in delivering the Democratic chattels sold by him at Baltimore. We have already heard of a number of sturdy Democrats swearing that they cannot be sold, as they used to ; sell "niggers," to the highest bidder. And the curiosity of many of the old voters of the party is excited to know, why the General did not support our former townsman Judge Black, when so many of the delegates from this State cast their uaiiois ior mm. Depaw, nominated by the Demo cratic Convention for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, has declined tb'j honor, since the nominations mad'c at Baltimore. Mr. Depaw is out? of the best kuown men in the State; a Christian gentleman ; of large influ ence, great wealth, and undoubted in tegrity. He was put on the ticket to help Hendricks carry the State, and his declination M ill seriously affect the Democracy, and make doubly sure the Republican triumph of October. A s the leaders of the Democratic party have sold out to Greeley, and the rauk and file of the party have no candidate to vote for, and must nec essarily choose between two Repub licans, wc invito them, and particular ly the "war Democrats to fall iu for Grant and Hartranft. The rebols, the bushwhackers, tho draft-sneaks and the fellows who shouted gleeful ly over Union defeats, will all le found on the other side. :mnt and Mllaon JUttidcatlon Meet- lug in New Hatch. New Haven, Julv 18. One of the largest political meetings ever held in this State was held this evening in this city. Some 10,000 persons as sembled on the green to ratify the nomination of Grant and Wilson. There were music, fireworks and sa lutes. The meeting was presided over by Governor Jewell, and addresses were made by Senator Buckingham, Hon. Thomas II. Bond, Hon. L. Lawes, of Massachusetts, and Rep resentatives Kellog, Strong and Stark weather. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Bond's speech attracted great attention, inasmuch as he has acted with the Democratic party for years, has lieen a Democratic member of the Stato Senate, and a candidate of the Democracy for Lieutenant Gov ernor, lie toot ground that the Dem ocratic party had sold out, and that between Grant and Greeley he must choose Grant, as being a much safer man. Hon. Charles Atwatcr, late candi date of the Democracy for Lieuten ant Governor, was one of the Vice Presidents of the meeting, he taking the same ground as Mr. Bond. ampaiun note. The Albany, N. Y., Argu.1, a Dem ocratic sheet of the strongest charac ter, has but a poor opinion of its Presidential candidate, and expresses it in this wise : ' If Greeley is elected he never will Ie the controller of his own temper. He flies in a passion with every one who refuses to agree with him or who will not vote for him. 'You lie, vil lain, you lie,' was his salutation to Bryant of the New York iW., 'Don't speak to me,G d d you, was his objurgation to the poet Duganne, in thc Constitutional Con vention. He whocontrolleth his own temper is lietter than he who takcth a city or carricth a State. But Gree ley can neither do the one nor thc other. The Chicago Time tells Demo crats they must now choose between Grant and Greeley, the time for bringing out another candidate hav ing passed. For itself, it will never support Greeley. Wc quote : In view of this disagreeable al ternative, what ought good citizens to do ? Of course thc action of thc Baltimore Convention has not placed Democ rats under thc slightest obliga tion to vote for Mr. Greclev. It is impudent to talk of applying the part v lah under any circumstances; but it is unspeakably impudent to talk or using it to drive Democrats into the supjiort of one of the worst emliodi-ni'-nts of radicalism thc country has ever known. Democrats will vote as they please, or abstain from voting if thej- pleas1, and they will be apt to resent with suitable warmth any at tempt at coercion. Thc question is not at all one of party obligation, but one of personal duty exclusively." Writing from Norristown, Mont gomery county, a correspondent of the New i ork Time says : "In the event of anv third candidate in the field this Fall, Pennsylvania will re- jieat her vote of 1SC0, when the Re publicans carried the State bv such an overwhelming majority. In that year our county, which prior to that time ahd since, had lieen strongly Democratic, gave a plurality of votes for Lincoln of some 23C. The same was characteristic of several other Democratic candidates. Hartranft here is exceedingly popular, and sev eral of thc most prominent Democrats in ornstown have joined the Hart ranft Club. Wc expect to carry the county for him in October, anil for Grant with an increased majority in November. Hartranft 's majority when elected to his present position was independent of this eastern dis trict, Philadelphia, owing to local causes, casting her vote against him. This Fall, however, she is sure to give him a handsome majority, and more than counterbalance any falling off in other sections of thc State." Of the man whose abject fear in times of trial and danger, crisis after crisis in ourhistoryhasexposedhimto the jeers of the whole country, the Boston Adcertiner thus speaks: "Mr. Greeley has a monstrous faculty for surrender. For giving up a great cause at a critically wrong time, his genius is superhuman. After years of vigorous controversy against slavery, thc South rebelled. What does our leader of men at this prac tical crisis? He surrenders forth with. He immediately does what be can to allow the rebel States to des troy the Union and build np their slaveholding commonwealth in peace. He knew well that such an embodied infamy as slavery was wrong and hateful, and had just enough resolu tion to last him up to the moment when resolution was most needed. After years of fighting, General Lee penetrated into Pennsylvania. What docs our proposed Commander-in-Chief then ? Why, he surrenders again. Luckily he was not in com mand of the army in the field. But he surrendered his own post which was all that could be expected of him by distinctly avowing that if things went on in this way w had better make as good a peace as possible un- dcr the circumstances. The New York ItiJemndetit pre sents the question of tho hour briefly and forcibly in this interrogatory it puts to Republicans : "Do they desire the restoration of the Democratic party to power ? meysnow inc jmrij. w its history before tho war.dunnf thftt eventful struggle, and also a jt8 close.

They know that Democracy in thc National Convention of 18C8 formally endorsed the Pendletonian swindle of paying the bonded debt of the Gov ernment with greenbacks. They know that tho Ku-Klux Klans of the South aro Democratic organizations. Republicans know theso things, and many others that wo might mention ; and Horace Greeley knows them, un less his memory has failed him. AVe repeat thc guestion : Do Republicans desire the restoration of thc Demo cratic party to power? If so, then let them vote for Greeley in sufficient numbers, and thev will gain their end. If not so, let them vote for General Grant, and they will keep thc administration of thc Government in patriotic hands. Democracy, having nominated Mr. Greeley, and constitu ting nine-tenths of his popular sup port, if its elects him, will control him. This may be set down as certain. I he use to which it proposes to put him during thc canvass is sim ply that of a stool-pigeon to entrap Republican voters ; and, if the plan succeeds, then it will have other uses for him as a Democratic President." mCKALEWH REBEMHX. The question has frequently been asked whether Mr. Buckalew did, dur ing the rcliellion, assist in owning the jail and voting thc prisoners confined there in the interest of rebellion. In reply wo simply assert what is a com monly received fact here, and which even we think his organ, that answers all things by that familliar word "He," will not dare to deny in thc face of an entire community acquainted with thc circumstances, viz : that Mr llucl a alew, thc Democratic sheriff and thc Commissioner's clerk did rob the county jail of some of its prisoners and took them to Buck Horn, where they voted thc ticket of rebellion. The sheriff and Commissioner's clerk were arrested and taken to Harris burg by the United States Marshal, but Mr. Buckalew, by using his usu al strategy, escaped. Thc deepest indignation was manifested bv the citizens on account of this unheard of procedure. It is said the Southern i Confederacy robbed the cradle and the tomb to destroy the Republic, and it is true that Buckalew robbed our county jail to help them. While this pleasing incident was transpiring. Hartranft was leaving his all to finish thc noble work of our fathers, and helping to save, even though it should cost the sacrifice of his own life, the best government thc world has ever seen. 1 heuc facts arc so well estab lished that numerous affidavits can be furnished to substantiate them. This is the mild man that some forgetful Republicans are expected to vote for in opposition to a man that never was false to a trust and never a trait or to his country. Rloomxburg Re publican. Am Offaet, The defection of Ausifn Blair in Michigan from thc Republican ranks because of supposed personal gricv ances at thc hands of the President is offset by the unqualified defection of thc Detroit tree I'rctt (thc well known organ of the Democracy ia that State) from the Baltimare nomi nee. The Pre is the old organ of General Cass. It has wintered and summered with thc party, but cannot swallow thc Baltimore surrender. Here arc a few of its plain utterances on thc occasion : "Thc only hope wc have for the future of the country lies in his de foot, and to that end wc shall, in the true interest of the country and De mocracy, labor. We repudiate such utter want of principle and honesty. Wc urge every honest Democrat in the country to do the same. Be they few or many in each locality they will, when this crazy movement is defeated in November, form the nrclues to which everything pretending to be Democratic must gravitate; and it will be their and our proud satisfac tion to know that what is saved of Democracy, and of a government by thc jH'oplc instead of by adventurers, will bo saved through our efforts. We do not propose to discuss or ar gue at anj- length thc independent course , the Free rret will take in this campaign. It is sufficient for our own guidance to know that it will lie truly Democratic; that unprincipled men, individually or collectively, cal ling themselves a National Conven tion, or anything else, can not sell or pive thc Democratic party over to Republicanism or to the advocacy of a Radical and a life-long enemy how ever politically obliquitous in other matters may have been his action. ' Tn Wnnt Is It t The New York World, the princi pal Democratic organ in that city, thus spoke of thc Baltimore Conven tion while in session : It is oddity, not uncertainty, that causes so lively an interest in the pro ceedings at Baltimore. It is the same kind of interest on which Barnum, the prince of humbugs, has always so adroitly practiced. "Joyce Hcth," and "the wooly horse," and the "What is it ?" and the "happy fami ly," and the "Kentucky giant," and 'the fat woman," did not attract spectators because they puzzled the ; calculations of the public, but because they seemed extraordinarily monstrous But in all of Barnum's houmbugging exhibitions, the interest depends on the surprise felt by tho vulgar minds in beholding something unusual. Barnum,.. the prince of humbugs, never offered anything quite so odd and monstrous as the entertainment which has been arranged at Baltimore for thc present week. Of all the strange things which have ever happened, what can seem more extraordinary than thc nomina tion of Horace Greeley as the regular Democratic candidate for president ? It being already certain that the thing will be done, the country watches the process with the samt kind of inter est it would feel in looking at a hun gry anaconda about to swallow a stag hoofs, branching horns, and all, when it wonld nearly cost the ana conda his life to perform the feat to say nothing of the pains of digesting ' afterward." -Ion. Andrew Ntewart. One of the most notable men of Wesr- em Pennsylvania, was yesterday far.ried away full of years and honors o tho land, to which the princes of this earth as well as tho humblest of our race, must sooner or later likewise journey. Hon. Andrew Stewart, of Unioutown, a man of political integ rity; of firm and positive Republican ism; of unflinching devotion to what ho considered the absolute necessity of th country a protectee tariff; died at his residence yesterday morn ing at ton o'clock. Mr. Stewart was horn in 1792, pn thc eleventh of June, and was conso. quently in the eighty-first year of his age. He studied law in Fayette county, and was admitted to the bar in 1815. At an early age he began to mingle in politics, ami served three years in the State Legislature as rep resentative from his native county, Fayette. Iu 1817, Mr. Stewart was appointed by President Monroe, United States District Attorney for Western Pcunsylvauiu, and tilled I he duties of the ollice with great credit. In 1821 he was sent to Congress and continued in active membership uutil 1829. During this time ho display od so much ability and vigor that his rep-j utation rapidly extended until it cov ered tho entire country. Again in 1831 he was called to a seat in the Legislative hall at Washington and was retained there until 1835. Eight years after he was chosen a third j time to this honorable place, and was not retired until four years latnr, in 1847. During his long public life ho; was intimately associated with Clay, j Webster, Calhoun, Geo. Evans, of Maine, and other representatives and leading men who lived their allotted j lives, and passed away to bo born again in history to each following J generation. In 1848 Mr. Stewart's name was prominently spoken of in connection with the nomination for! the Vico Presidency. His perhaps was the most prominent, but the nom ination was lost to him through tho treachery of tho chairman of the Pennsylvania State delegation. Mr. Stewart is best known to thc country however, by his persistent and ener getic advocacy of a protective tariff. He has devot d himself to this end with such eagerness that tho sobri quet "Tariff Andy" will probably last as long as his name is remember ed. Years ago he retired to a hand- j some estate near Uniontown, and though occasionally mixing with the political world through the medinm of his vigorous pen has since thrust him self forward but little before the eyss of the country. Ho was a genial, hospitable gentleman of that school which seems to bo rapidly passing, away, to which an ojicn house was always tho first law of social inter course. A few years ago Mr. Stewart's son William Stewart, Lieutenant Com mander in the United States Navy, and executive officer of the "Onida," met with a watery grave off the coast of Japan. The particulars of the sad affair still embitter thc minds of the American people. The Onei da was run down and sunk by an English mail steamer which passed on her course, without an effort to rescue the brave sailors. Since that occurrence Mr. Stewart's health has gradually failed, and his death, though sudden and unexpected to the public, is not a matter of much surprise to his relatives and intimate friends. rUlt.

Saratoga, July 16. There was a large crowd of people in attendance to-day to witness thc race between Harry Bassett and Longfellow for the Saratoga cup. Previous to starting Longfellow was the favorite. Both horses were in good condition. A good start was effected, Harry Basset slightly in thc lead, which was soon lncrcassd to a length. At two miles Longfellow lapped Basset, but could not maintain his position, and was finally beaten one length, after run ning one of the ganiest races ever known in this country, and in remark able short time. It is said Longfel low is badly cut in thc leg from one of his plates turning. L0NC.FELL0W TO BE RETIRED. Saratoga, July 1C. It is the opin ion of racing men that Longfellow will never run a race again. During his running to-day for thc cup one of his plates twisted round and cut his other foot badly. Thc plate was broken in two, and thc leg disabled ; and yet Longfellow gallantly ran the race out, to the wonder of all racing men. A Remarkable Body mt Water. There is a place in Oregon called Smoky Valley, where the people have a very curious way of cooking. They do not have the trouble of making a fire every morning when they wish to get breakfast They just walk out with their kettles coffee pots and what ever else they want, and cook at the boiling spring. The water seems a great deal better than common boiling water, and all tbey need to do is to hang their kettles in it for a short time and their food is nicely cooked. They are able even to bake in it Thc bread is put into a tight saucepan, and lowered into the boiling flood for an hour or two, and then drawn np most exquisitely baked. Meat is cocked and lieans, which are the miner's great luxury. It takes but a minute to cook rggSf or to make a pot of Coffee or tea ; but if there should chance to be a "slip 'twixt tho cup and the lip," thc food would be gone beyond re covery.

A dispatch from Buffalo says that a collision oc curred this forenoon on the Auburn branch of the New York Central Railroad, about a mile east of Pitts ford, caused by the coal train bound west having been delayed by a defec tive rail. Before the passenger train, which left here at three o'clock this forenoon, could be signaled, the colli sion occurred. The engine of the pas senger train mounted thc other en gine, and almost completely tele scoped the baggage and smoking cars. There was quite a number of passen gers in the coach, most of whom were either killed or wounded. The dead and wounded were conveyed to farm houses in the neighborhood, where thc wounds of the injured were attended to. Dentil f OI K WAsllIIXOTOW LETTER. Washington D. C. July 1. 1872. SPEECH OF GEN'L. N. P. CIIIPMAN. The reply of Gen'l Chipmau, our District Delegate in Congress, to Hon. R. B.t Roosvelt lias just lx-en printed. Mr. lloosvch sad Mr. Creba signed a minority Kport, on the investigation of charges against the new territorial government of the District. This report alleges no fraud against tho authorities, but simply charged extravagance and waste, yet this speech of Mr. Roosvelt is put forth under tho caption "Frauds of the District, and is manifestly gotten npfof the use of the Democratic party away from this latitude where thc facts are understood. In the twenty four pages of reply, Gen. Chipman has thoroughly ventilated thepnerile character of this effort to stay enter prise and improvement in the notion al metropolis. He points out the fact that Mr. Roosvelt was absent most of the time when evidence was being heard for the defense, and de clared w hen it came to this, that he did not want to hear any more testi mony." Ho shows by evidence co piously quoted that the proof was ex actly opposite to thc most important deductions of this somewhat too easi ly persuaded judge, and that by spec ial pleading and tho selection "of gar bled testimony from a mass of 800 pa ges f if questions and answers not two hundred of which is admissible evi dence, or if so is worthless upon its face a political document may be con cocted without a modicum of truth and fairness in it. He has given thc negative to all the objections raised against our board of Public Works by thc testimony of witnesses leIong ing to both the Republican and Dem ocratic parties, and has conclusively shown that the greatest amount of care and thc strictest regard to econo my was practised by the Government officials that the circumstances per mitted with the exception of the large amount charged for advertising by some of the papers of the District which was condemned by the major ity report Ho says "no man who says the improvements of this District are more injurious than beneficial can find many to believe him. We hear of the new Washington wherever we go, and thc whole jieoplc aro awak ening to a new interest in the seat of Government." He closes with a suitable apjieal to the obstructionists now that they have kept tho District of Columbia in hot water for a year, and incurred enormous expense by their investigation, only to meet a signal and utter defeat, to cease their obstruction and opposition, and al low the citizens of the nation's capital to be what its founders intended it should lc. GEN. SHERMAN AND THE INDIANS. A strong effort is just now being made to discredit thc Indian policy of the administration. Gen. Sheridan having lost caste as a hero, since his attack upon, unci massacre of, a large camp of Indian men women and children, sick with the smallpox, has just attempted to ride this wave of opposition, and urged the extreme war policy of treating Indian troub les, in a report made to the Interior Department. This extermination poli cy will no doubt prove popular with the border whites whose greatest boast is that their women not only can, but do draw a bead on an Indian at siht with a rifle. I had this boast made to me here in Washington only yester day by a settler from Minnesota. Not only humanity, but good policy and economy, as all our Indian Ilis ory shows requires the application of thc administration policy nsing war only as a dernier resort, where the circumstances render it imperative. Thc idea of Gen. Sherman that In dians acting under bloody provoca tion in revenging injuries are in all cases to be treated as our own crim inals is simply absurd, besides being unworthy of a Gen. of such unques tioned rcnowni CAMPAIGN kTEECU. The great speech of Secretary Bout well, yesterday, at Morgantown N. C, is an unanswerable argument in favor of the administration financial policy. He divides thc objects of President Grant's policy into 1st. Faithful collection of thc reve nues. 2d. Reduc ing expenditures. 3d. Establishing credit and reduc ing interest account. 4th. Reducing taxation and prepar ing to return to specie payments. He shows the grand success of the administration in accomplishing all these objective desiderata. Thc speech will make an admirable political doc ument CAPITAL ITEMS. Mr. Sumner, as late as Monday the lfth, said to Senator Wilson that no one had received authority to speak for him, or to indicate his position. What becomes of the Reaves letter? A delegation of Chippewa and Ot tawa Indians, who are now citizens, and quite civilized and industrious, called yesterday on the Commissioner of Indian affairs in relation to their lands and reservations in Michigan. Spotted Tail, chief of the Brule Sioux, is now on his way to Wash ington. Under thc policy of Presi dent Grant, he has kept peace for the past three years, and now desires to settle' certain matters regarding his agency. Greeley rumors here are thick as leaves in Valambrosa. The last is that Fred. Douglass, editor of the Washington National Era, a Grant paper, has gone over to Greeley. This is as absurd as it is false. C. M. NPAIN. Attempt to Asaaaslnat Ibe Ulna; and Queen. Madrid, July 19, 1872. At mid night last night, as the King and Queen were returning from thc Pal ace, five men, conveniently posted in Arnal-st, fired upon the carriage. Its occupants were uninjured. One of the party was immediately killed by an attendant of the royal party and two others were captured. The greatest indignation ia every where expressed at the cowardly deed. Thc tranquility of tho city is undisturbed, although when accounts of thc affair began to bo generally circulated there was much excite ment, and crowds gathered in the neighborhood where thc attack had been made, and by 4 o'clock in the morning almost the entire population of Madrid was hastening through the streets. The King and Queen remained self-possessed during the scene of ex citement which ensued upon the at tack and the brief conflict with the assassins. When quiet had been in a mcasuro restored they proceeded to the place, wheje they now are, re ceiving the members of the Ministry the civil and military authorities of the city, and deputations from the people. All classes are enthusiastic over the failure of the murderous at tack. King Amadeus will visit San tandcr to-morrow, in pursuance of a previously formed determination. Another n-Sagaated Democrat. Wilmington, Del., July 17 William Dean, chairman of tho Dem ocratic Stato Committee, publishes a card announcing his resignation of that position on account of tho nom ination of Greeley, and Bays he is ready to help to form a stfaigbf Dem ocratic ticket. .. . ;.,:... MlNEDIflAMTEB. Lake Mopsrlar Calamity fllxty Men Barled-Elg-ht Bad lew Beesvered. Janesvillr, Wis., July 16. Ad vices from Lake Superior state that on the morning of the 1 5th part of tho roof or the Copper ills Mine, which had been left standing suppor ted by rock pillars, and known as Ash Bed, gave way at seventy fathom level and full a distance of two hun dred feet. Sixty men were in that part of thc mine when the accident occurred, forty-six of whom reached daylight without serious mishap, . Of the remaining fourteen miners eight were taken out in a short time, four of them were uninjured, threw badly maimed and one, Charles Borrell, dead. Later advices from thc scene of the disaster say that the bodies of Owen Sullivan, married, and Mate Ballas, single, have been recovered, leaving in thc mine, dead in all probability, ThoB. Bray, Patrick Burns, James Fezzcys and Hart The two first named men leave wives and families. It is reported that thc condition of tho mine where the accident occurred has been known for a month to be very unsafe. Since tho above was rceoived We learn that the body of one other man has been recovered. A Remarkable Water Hpsnt. Denver, Col., July 1C. A remar kable water spout occurred on the Central City stage road four miles above Golden City, Sunday afternoon, The torrent of water struck a carriage containing Mr. J. Verden, his wife, sister and a girl. Tho girls were both drowned. The body of Miss Verdeu was found some three miles below the place of the disaster covered with sand and debris. The road was bad ly washed out, and rendered impas sable. Heavy storms of rain and light ning have visited this region and to wards New Mexico during the past four days. The telegraph line south to Trinidad was badly damaged and is not working. cirrext koten. The Erie Observer, the Democratic organ of Erie county, refuses to put up the Greeley and Brown ticket The entire Greeley party in Mead tille got drnnk tho other night and was committed to the lock-up. He was discharged next morning on pay ment of fine and costs. The Bloomsburg Republican inti mates that the reason why Buekalew held on to the portico railing when making his Philadelphia speech was that some one had put too much sugar in his tea. There is a hotel in California com posed of ten immense hollow treei, standing a few feet apart. The lar gest of these is sixty-five feet around, and is used as a bar and kitchen. For bed-chambers there are nine great hollow trees, whitewashed or papered, and having doors cut to fit the shape of the holes, Literature finds place in a leaning stump dubbed "the libra ry." Bolting Democratic journals are multiplying. The Terre Haute (In diana) Journal and thc Seymour Democrat, leading journals in Indiana, refuse to support Greeley. The Sa vannah (Georgia) Xetcs of the same party, savs that Grant will beat Gree ley 20,000 in that State. Xearly 3,000,000 letters went to the dead letter office last year. Four hundred thousand of them had no stamps, and 3,000 had no address. They contained $92,000 in cash, $3,-000,000-in drafts and checks, and 3, 000,02G photographs. The Allentown Chronicle savs there arc two hundred and thirty-sev en liemocrats in that city who will not vote for Greeley. The old Dem ocratic party is dead, and they do not intend to vote for an "expediency" at the imminent risk of bursting np the country. A little boy in Shreveport recently asked a lady who made her teeth. She replied "God." "Well," remark ed young Shreveport, "Dr. Kendall made mother's and they beat yours by a sight Tho Times and Dispatch says: "Hundreds of Democrats in Reading arc expressing disgust for the action of the Baltimore Convention, and hundreds will not vote for Greeley, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of representative Democrats to con vey a different impression." Reports fro m Iowa state that the present promises to be the most abun dant season for grain ever known in the State. Grain of all kinds is rapid ly ripening, and crops, it is said, were never lietter. Halifax, N. S., has a brave girl of seventeen, named Emma Longard. er Hfather's house being attacked by a burglar the other night, she dressed herself in an absent brother's clothes, and with a poker so belabored the rascal that his recovery is considered doubtful. The people of Maine held a snow pic-nic on the 4th of July. In the northern part of the State there is a snowdrift of enormous dimensions, which, although the mercury in thc neiglwrhood ranges from ninety to one hnndred degrees, bids fair to lost all summer. The drift was originally seventy feet high. A Wisconsin man writes that he has voted the Democratic ticket for twenty-one years, and adds : "I have diametrically differed with Horace Greeley on every political issuo he ever made; and though he received the unanimous indorsement of every man in thc Baltimore Convention, and be then and there baptised, parboiled in Democratic blood, through and through, he shall never have my vote." Mr. Jessie R. Grant, father of the President, last week paid a visit to Georgetown, Brown county, Ohio, of which place he was for many years a resident, and from which the Presi dent went to West Point The old gentleman is exceedingly feeble, de crepit not only from old age, but also from a recent attack of paralysis. He is in charge of a servant, who watch es over him at all times. The Washington Republican states as a fact, tiiat "of the twenty-seven Republican journals that went into the Gratz Brown revolt some two years ago, only one, the organ of Carl Sburz, now approves the Balti more nominations." This does not look as if thera wore many Liberal Republicans in Missouri and is omin ous for that 100,000 majority Gratz Brown boasted about at New Haven. Neio AdcertUemenU.
