Tbc feeling between the two parties is very bitter, and the Demo cratic press have come out boldly in advocacy of the discharge of all col wed iktsotis in the employ of the whites. They intend to cany the text flection at all hazards. It is anuounccd that the whole Southern mind is centralizing around this one poinf "opposition to the negro." Much apprehension is manifested among law-abiding citizens. The medical jury on the celebrat cd hydrophobia caso in New York agreed that M'Cormick came to his death from hydrophobia, and that ' he post mortem investigations made were not of any scientific value ia dc tcrmining the pathogeny of the dis ease. As a means of prevention they recommend that a person bitten by a do? or nnv other animal shall at once, if the wound is received in a part where it is proper to practice ex cision, have the wounded part thor oughly excised, and that the wounds be allowed to bleed for a few mo ments in a basin of warm water, and finally that the wounds be cauterized with nitrate of silver, nitric acid, caustic potassa, hot iron or a burning coal. ' In case a surgeon cannot be found to practice excision the patient should apply a ;ord above the wound and then suck it, provided that he has no excoriations in his moum, anu ai iue first opportunity he shall apply some one of the caustics mentioned above.

July IX U-rrible A tear since, the Democracy of this State in convention assembled, hooted from the platform, in a spasm of professed virtue, Congressman Fpear of the Huntingdon district, who bad been nominated for chair man, because ho wa3 a back-pay sal ary grabber. The honest impulse if it was not a mere blind proves to have been t-crj short lived, as we ob serve tho Democracy of Philadelphia have re-nominated Hon. Samuel J Kanuali ana enuorsea Lis action in Congress. Randall not only voted lor and took the increased pay, but he was on the committee of conference that devised the steal. The Child Murderer. The youth in question will be re membered ast-thc author of several outrages upon younger ana smaucr children in Roston several years ago, where he created an excitement not second even to that caused lr the sad event which is now uppermost in the mind of every parent in Phila delphia. Romcroy s plan was to en tice his victims into out-of-the-way places, and there perpetrate a variety. of tortures upon them, such as cut ting off their cars, slitting their noses, or making gashes ia their faces. The yourg fiend was arrested, con victed of a Lalf-dozen such crimes, j and sent to the Reform School, from j which place good conduct and the clemency cf the Governor of the State scon released him. A few months since he was arrested for the murder of a playmate whom he had first tortured, and is now in prison awaiting trial. Now comes the se quel. On Saturday, while workmen were tearing down a building ia Ros ton ia which the mother of the boy formerly lived, they came across the body of a small girl, aged ten years, who had been a servant iathc family, but who disappeared some four months ago. The wretch had entic ed the little maid into the cellar, first tortured and then murdered her, and afterwards buried her body under an ash-hcap. The Pittsburgh TtlegrajJt makes the folloving complimentary remarks of an eminent Democratic statesman, who has assisted to make laws for th'u Commonwealth for a number of years, but who has been lately retir ed by his appreciative and admiring constituency, composing a portion of At their late State Convention the Indiana Democracy revived, endors cd" and promulgated the repudiation doctrine on which Pendleton made Lis inglorious canvass for the Prcsi dential nomination in 1SC8. Speak ing of this incredible folly the N. Y. Herald pays: It would have seemed incredible, previous to the fact, that a body of sane men assembled for opening a political canvass should pick op the dead korsc of repudia tion, set it on its lcg3 by party prop ping, and gravely mount it in the ex rvctation of winning the rice. How is it possible that they could so mis conceive the public sentiment of the country! Th assembled Indiana Democrats have the amaizing folly to declare that " we arc in favor of the redemption of the five-twenty bonds in greenback;" that " we are in fa vor of the repeal of the law of March, 1C9, whjch assumed to construe the law so & to make such bonds paya ble exclusively in gold and that "we arc in favor of the repeal of the na tional banking law' and the substitu tion of greenbacks for the. national bark currency.'' Wc can conceive of no greater blunder which the Dem ocratic party could perpetrate, ia the present state of public sentiment than to unbury the Pcndbtonisni of 1SCS and present its corpso as a candidate for reception in living political socie ty. This issuo killed Pendleton as a randi jnte, although it received a trim ming indorsement in the national platform. The platform defeated the actual candidate, who had made able and rigoroos speeches against its principle, and was as strongly com-; milted as a statesman could be to a ! fttituJul payment of the public debt. If the people ever decided anything in a Presidential election, and" decid ed it irreversibly, it was the green back controversy in ISCS. When the Republican Congress, in the ex tra session of March,' l$f.9, enacted the law of which the Indiana Demo crats now demand the repeal, it mere ly gavo legislative expression to the popular w ill as then recently declar ed by an overwhelming popular vote. The Democratic party discreetly ac quiesced la that verdict, and have never ooght to disturb it until now- the citizens of Philadelphia : " The Hon. Samuel Josephs, after twelve or fourteen years of plundering, black mailing and bribery in the Legisla ture, has at last been retired from duty as a Democratic candidate by the party in Philadelphia, and the State capital that has known him so lonjr and so infamously will know him no more. This is one of the re forms of the new Constitution. There is no longer a market for Sam's vote, while lobby inOuencc is at a discount and pretty near valueless. There was a good humored, matter-of-fact, business air, about Joseph's legisla tive roguery that disarmed resent ment to a great extent. He always had the reputation of keeping well up the price of votes, and had a thor ough contempt for the five dollar roosters, as destroying business. Ry great industry and the rare economy of living at the best hotels, drinking the rarest wines, and spending money w ith a liberal hand, Mr. Josephs has managed in the past decade, on a sal ary of a thousand a year, to save up a nice little fortune of a couple of hundred thousand dollars." didato to defeat him. t energy ana personal Mr. Barker proved too much for his competitor and resulted in his being bria county some eighty votes ahead of crerv Gther candidate on the Re publican ticket The contest was sharn. hot and decisive, showing that be was the strongest and most available candidate in the District. Mr. Rarker was renominated for Congress in 1ST2, and run some three hundred votes ahead of the ticket in northern Cambria, and was only de feated through the treacherous con duct cf the Republicans of Hunting don conntr. Their conduct in this ca?e was but a mere repetition of the treatment received, at their Lands, by the Ron. Daniel J. Morrcl!, and which was the occasion of his defeat at a prior campaign. We believe Mr. Rarker to be as strong, if not the strongest man, that could be placed in tLc field sa our standard bearer ia the coming Con cessional contest. Always devoted to the well being and advancement of the cause which he espoused, not since the partv has grown strong, bat affili ated the principles of Republicanism when there could be no motive, other than a strict adherence to what he deemed essential to bettering the con dition cf mankind.

The most curious thing ia the matter now, is the sudden separation of .Mrs. liltoa from her husband, Mrs Tilton went before the committee appointed to investigate Mr- Reecher and gave her testimony. What she testified to the committee only know, but it is understood that she denied distinctly and explicitly that Mr Reecher had ever offered her an in- dicnitv m short that the statement of her husband was false. 1 At all events, she returned to her home and told her husband that in consequence of the course ho bad taken, their paths in life would hence forth be apart, and she left him, prob ably forever. Of course, this is all coniecture, but the probability is that the Reech er party knew what Mrs. Iilton would testify to, which accounts for their jaunty confidence ia their ability to crush out Tilton. - Rut what be comes of Mr. Eeccher's confession? methinkslhearoneask, easy enough. Suppose the astute nenry Ward Reecher should affirm that he signed it under compulsion; or suppose there is nothing direct in iU Supposcwhen it comes to be read it is found to be, well, anything but a direct confession of a specific attempt upon the person of Mrs. Tilton, and suppose Mr. Reecher should swear he never sign ed anything of the kind. It strikes me he has the Tilton people. At least he has them so far as Plymouth Church is concerned,. for those people are bound to believe ia him cay how. There is another thing Mr. Reech er caa uo. fcuppose wnen he gives in his testimony he is asked, "What about that confession which you gave Tilton, in which you wished you were dead?'' He will probably answer. Theadorc was at that time run ning very wild. He was having af fairs with various women, and Mrs. Tilton came to me for advice. . Re lieving that the reports were true, I did advise her to a course which, as I afterwards found, wa3 unjust to Theodore. Therefore I made him the apology which he has sinco pub lished. My. zeal for Mrs Tilton did get me into an awkward position." This story Mr. Reccher's friends are circulating at this time. One thing may be depended upon, viz: if the thing is possible Mr. Reecher will be completely exonerated by the committee. They will not bring him ia guilty of anything. The Tilton family have seen a great deal of trouble. Theodore is in ai excitable, Inpe.U)us, impulsive man, who has wandered after a great many strange gods, and not a few strange goddesses. It is said that the time he was standing side by side with the Woodhull faction, that he was accustomed to take the Wood hull to his house, despite the tearful protests of his wife, and insist upon her being recognized as a women fit for the companionship of any woman on eartn. lnis Ijc denies; but it is true, beyond question, that he was infatuated with the doctrines ot the woman, if not with the woman herself, and that that fact.injudicious Iy and skilfully pianaged by his mother-in-law, a lady of very certain tem per, made Lis home an uncomfortable place. Theodore felt that he was acting upon p:ineipel in giving countenance to the Woodhull, which Mrs. Tilton felt that giving her any countenance whatever, was au out rage; and the mother-in-law who pos sesses enormous capacity fcr trouble raged between the two, serenely happy in the row that was developing. Then Beecher got into it It was by Tilton that he attempted to out rage his wife, and another element of discord was hurled into the already shaken home.

The lack of facilities for handling grain in this city, tho infernal robberies com mitted upon shippers, and the general worry nnd trouble of getting grain through New York has driven a large share of the trade to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston, and now comes this new departure, which threatens the rest of it. Gentlemen merchants of New York, what you have to do is to enlarge the Eric Ca nal, remove the tolls and other im pediments ia the way of trade, erect; elevators sufficient to handle the grain economically, and have some system in the business. Otherwise the trade will leave you as sure a- fate. THE MA Yell. Some days ao it looked as though the Governor would relieve the city of one of its greatest (roubles by the removal" of Ilavemeycr from the Mayoralty, but as his term is short he will prouabiy permit him to remain. It is claimed that the Mayor is actu ally insane, and his acts give color to the claim. 11 ue is not insane, he is the most pig-headed, stupid man that ever lived. Elected, as a Reformer he has played perpetually into the hands of the ring, and has openly affiliated with them. He is very old and is probably somewhat deranged. This theory of going to graveyards for officials never did answer. The citizens will know their man next time. A HOPEFUL SIGN. Our Catholic Irish citizens do not rule New York as much as they did. The Orangemen paraded the "streets on the anniversary of the battle of the Royne Water, and were not mo lested.

A thunder storm and hurricane passed over the city between 12 and 1 o'clock to-dav demolishing chimneys and flooding streets and cellars. The damage to buildings was immense. The steeple olthcl-irst Congregational Church on Merrimack street, was blown com pletely off and fell on an adjoining block and badly shattered the roof- of houses. ' Part of the roof of ihe Shattuck Street Universalis! Church was blown into the street . A largo tree in tt. Anne s cnurch yard was blown down, demolishing the fence of the church.

Pittsburo, July 27. AH the flood gate3 of the heavens were opened last night and a vast volumn of va tcr was discharged upon- tho city. During the day heavy showers took place, but they proved only prepara tory to the deluge which came down unon us between eight and nine o'clock in tho evening. The rain w accompanied with vived lightning, and for over an hour the storm was fast and furious, driving pedestrian to shelter with much precipitation, in 'act, making everybody, and thin " move on, " with more alacrity than is ever infused into them by any of cur energetic patrolmen. The water came down in sheets which fairly glistened as the flashes of lightnin fell upon them in quick succession and Nature was never grander in spectacular effect. As will be seen by the i sports below, terrible damage was d no in every part of tho city and the full extent can hardly be known at the present writing. A fearful loss cf life is reported from Allegheny, and a pecuniary loss be yond that caused by the late destruc tive conflagration. Halt a million dollars will not cover tho damage to property and the sum may be much greater. In tho Soho District of the city and in that vicinity the loss to the munic ipality is as great as to private indi viduals. On Dinwiddle, Tustin, Bra dy and Henry Streets the most serious results followed the rushing of the waters nnd so great was the havoc tuat for several squares the appearance is as il n huge water spout had burst On Dinwiddie street the new fewer was stopped up then burst, and the whole surface of the street was washed out, disjoint ing tho water mains and plugs. Rra dy street, from Tustin to second avo nuc, is completely washed away, and tho water main connecting with the atter thoroughfare broken ou at several places. Henry street and Tustin street are also in a like plight, and will not bo passable lor weeks to come. Rut for the quick discretion luperintendcnt Atkinson, of the water works the damage here and tlfwhere would have been much greater. Fearing trouble he ordered the water shut off from the upper basin, and when the breaks iu the mains occurred, no inundating effort occurred. An hour after the storm, he had succeeded ia connecting a main at Dinwiddie street by which a small supply of water was gi7en the Last Lnd, but found in imposible to furnish Second avenue. The tunnel of the Pna-IIandle ailway was flooded with some four feet of water, and of course became impassible for trains, and traffic, for tho time being, on that road was suspended. The yards of the contor tion were also thoroughly inundated, and the track of the road covered clear to the inlcrscction with the yards of tho union Depot. r rom scvcnthavcnuc and Graut Ireet the water had made itself a course to the Union Depot, and here it gave Col. Uuger pleasant (?) remi niscences of last year's flood. The water here had a level ot from two to five feet on the plat in front of the building, and had forced itself into the cellar and furnace rooms, putting out the fire and creating havoc gener ally. Tho bridge in the rear of the Elevator was partially washed away, but further than damaging a goodly amount of commissary stores in the Union Depot Hotel, no other damage was done here. The water came down Wylie ave nue with a terrific roar. It semed mad in its fury. In its course it seemed to take everything with it Huge cobblestones and bricks came down like light paper boats in tho mighty torrent. Every thing passed before it At a corner a pile of rubbish would be raised, only to bo swept with greater force, soon to land at some pile of greater proportions. Down Elm Street towards Fifth avenue as well as the other streets that run across from Webster to Fifth avenue, the water ran fiercely cither way down the hills, always carrying with it the huge piles of debris.

Mention has already been made of the murder of a man named Henry erry in Snyder township, Jefferson county, by a man named Amzia Sibley. It appears from a statement in ihc Rrookeville IlevuhUcan that a family difficulty existed betwcea the parties, an improper intimacy ex isted between the wife of the murdered man and Sibley, and that threats of violence had frequently been made by Sibley in case any interference was made with him. On tho evening the crime was commited Sibley passed Perry's house, when he was hailed by some members of the family and asked to take home some tinware that had been borrowed to be used while huckleberryiug, and while engaged in conversation Perry ordered him to go away, and not talk to his wife, but he refused to do so and Ferry coming toward him with a hoe in hand, he pulled a revolver from his pocket, saying that he would shoot if Perry came any closer. It is not known whether he made any further movement to strike Sibley or not, but the latter fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomen, passing through the hip, causing death.

He was found manfully battling in the ranks ot the anti elavery party, , against the unholy practice then rife ia our land, of hu man bondage, which was at its height, but which do longer desecrates or clogs the advancement of our free institutions. The activity which he displaj ed in the cause of right against oppression, gives an unusual luster and brightness to Lis political character. iilton. .Mrs. W oodhuil was sent to the right-about, and it did seem as though everything would go on se rene. . Rat Dr. Racon and Plymouth Church would not let Theodore alon e. They wanted him out of the wev.and to that end they kept continually poking sharp sticks at him. Theo dore is not tho man to poke sticks at, 6harp or otherwise. He has a trick of turning and pushing with the horn, Reno, July 14. Early this morn ing Elliott, proprietor of the Capitol Hotel, noticed four suspicious charac ters near his house, and arranged with Deputy Sheriff Hutton that he would go and pretend to be drunk and draw them into a trap. lie did so and the man tried to rob him. Elliot drew his pistol, when a fight ensued, and he was wounded in the head, but shot one of his assailants through the body and leg and captured another. Tho other two ran, followed by, Ilut toa who shot one through tho body and captured another. witn the lightning. The greatest damage done was ou Spring Garden avenue, in the Seventh ward, where valuable property, as well as life, was destroyed. ; be sewers had not the capacity to carry off the immense quantity of water that poured into them, and being obstructed, the wa ter rose to tue lieigut ot numerous dwellings along the thoroughfare. tumbling many of them down. and. e - . .. a so iar as is cicunitciv Known at pres ent, drowning four persons. The en tire strip of land from Madison ave nue to Troy Hill as far out as Gerst's 1,- n uiewury, w as uooueci, ana tue con tents of tanneries, slaughter-houses and other buildings were washed awav. The water rose with fearful rapidi ty, and before the occupants of tbe numerous dwellings and other build ings could escape to highland they were cut off, and remained iu great dread of the result of the; iuuudation. In most of the buildings tho water ulied the lower stones, and several were carried from their foundations and lie wrecked upon the bank of the run and in some cases well up in the street. On Concord street two houses with their occupauts were swept away, but fortunately all tho human beings were saved.. At Spring Garden avenue and Chestnut street, the case wau sadly different In one tavern a number of persons, among them Constablo Henry Hess, were seated when the water commenced to rise. Hess thought to attempt an escape by swimming out though strongly urged to remain where he was, he made the attempt and was drowned. A son of Alderman Rolsler of the Third ward, also lost his life in a vain endeavor to rescue a babe. A young lady aged about sixteen years, whose name has not been learned, is also among the victims. A half dozen horses and several cows were carried away in stables a id drowned. It waslate beforo tho wa;cr subsided sufficiently to admit of a.iy approach to the submerged district, and the reports are therefore meagre and unsatisfactory. It is. thought that several other children have also lost their lives. A Bojr Accidentally Kbootv lii Mother. Roston July IC.

On Sunday last, Paul Neilson, an old settler, died sud denly of cholera morbus, as it was supposed. The actions of his son-in law, C. Patterson, ia refusing persons a sight and the hasty burial of the remains excited suspicions that all was not right The coroner investi gated the matter and exhumed tho body. He claims that there is an appearance of Xeilson's having been poisoned. Peterson is under arrest and confined in jail to await the con clusion of an analysis of the stomach, which will be maele to-morrow. The offair creates a profound sensation, as the parties are well known. A Ioiible Homicide. LonsviLLE, July 23. Informa tion has just been received here of a double homicide iu this county last night. A man named Clark was chopping wood at Worthington, a small town about twelve miles from this city, when two men named Lanston and Relsh suddenly a'.tick ed him. . Lanston drew a pistol and Clark struck him with an axe, killing him instantly. Then seizing Lans- ton's pistol, he beat Relsh over the head with it, crushing in bis skuiI and inflicting a fatal wound. He was arrested, taken before a magis trate and aeauitted on the ground of self-defense. There was an old grudge between the parties. Shooting AtTmy. ii-1 as On Tuesday afternoon, two colored men named Willcott Amos, of Fox burg, and William Wright, of Pitts burgh, got into an altercation in a drinking saloon in Petrolia, about a woman named Mattie Harjier alias "Strawberry." Words brought ou Wblowsand finally ight drew a single barreled Derringer pistol and lodged the contents in the neck of Amos. Wright attempted to escape but he was arrested and placed in durance vile. Yesterday morning Amos died of his injuries, and Wright is now held on the charge of murder. Jin a U Officer Arretted. I'BT Wayne, Indiana, July 21. Win.

Powers was arrested, brought here and delivered over to Sheriff Vance. He was admitted to bail iu $G,009. Terrible DeeJ of an Inane Man. St Louis, July 2i. A Ikmotrat special from Seneca, Kansas, says: Charles Cook, a merchant of Rul City, Osbora county, who has beenl deranged for some time past, thrust the blado of bis knife through the brain of his infant child, last Friday. and then beat his own bead with a hatchet, breaking his skull, and in flicting mortal injury. Pecuniary trouble is said to have been the cause of his insanity. of the united body will met i:i To ronto in September, lhe united Church will number about ono bun- i dred thousand. j The Chicago Time warns rr.c- j chauics in other parts cf the country j to keep out of that city for the pres- j ent.

A bridegroom seldom renders his mother-in-law speechless, but h re is an interesting case: A se-lf-poisos.-ed young man called at a Louse in Alto na, Ga., a few mornings ago, and asked to see his wife. " She is wi here," replied the mi.-tre.-s cf the house. " There is no one hero but the members of mv own family. ' " Well, " he replied, " itV ,ne of t!. I want to see, I married yor.r o est daughter last night. :' lbe average value ot e"cu ;iu: grant arriving i:i this country 1 been frequently estimated by writers on political economy, but no two cf them agree on this question. This value varies from $750, according to the lowest estimate, to about $l,:"00 in the highest: but in either cart- it is evident that in a more restricted material sense it is cheaper to im port our population than to produce it ourselves. Assuming each child of Gfieen to have co.-t $ 1,000, and that the money thus expended would have been otherwise saved, we find that the man who Las raised a family of five children and remain ed poor might have accumulated a sum sufficient for the wants of eld age had he not been subjected to this expense. An inquest was held at Liverpool recently on the body of a little girl whose death was the direct result cf having her ears pierced. The medi cal testimony adduced at the inquest was, without exception, strongly op posed to the infliction cf such punct ures. A ring thrust through the car tillages of the nose would, following the augment used in favor of ear rings, be a great addition to female! beauty. At their best they 'ere the, remains of barbarism and unfitting the present age of civilization. It is only fair to admit that the cr.r-p:crc- inr nrnctie.- was not the invention of! a woman. The Mohammedan tradi tion of its origin is that Abraham be gan it. Sarah, in one of l.cr lits e f O 7 jealousy regarding Ilagar. vov.ee, that she would not rest until she had dipped ber hands ia II agar "s bleed. In order to quiet Sarah aud nt the same time allow her to fulfill her vow, Abraham pierced Hagar's ear while she slept, anointing S;.ruL's hands with the blood, and thec ia memory of it placed rings ia I Iv gar's ears.
