At the Pennsylvania Democratic
Contention a resolution was passed
in favor of a reduction in the number
of office bolder. This id evidence
that" ther do not expect to carry the
State. The Democratic party when
in power were never known to abolish
an office.
A 6AYAGK Misbiasipi Democratic
organ, in recommending the forma
tion of White Leagues in 'every dis
trict of the State, declares: Tbis
land is ours, by right and by inheri
Uoce, and we most, we will control
it evea at the expense of oceans of
blood and millions of lives."
Gkoroe O. Evans, who managed
to swindle Pennsylvania out of . a
bandsome sum in the collection of
war claims, is to remain in jail. His
counsel made an earnest effort before
the Supreme Court to have bim re
leased onder the insolvent laws, but
it has proved a failure.
Sexator Schcrz has developed
his band in Missouri, in the shape of
m "People's Movement," the ostenei.
We object of wbicb is to reform and
purify existing parties, but having
for :ts real purpose the return of
Scfanri to the United States Senate.
It is not looked upon as a promising
succeu.
Sats the Worcester Spy : "What
ever may have been the error of
ome Republicans, their party is yet
the coly hope of those who desire to
see the' financial difficulties of the
country surmounted and questions
of this character settled in conformi
ty with the principles of an enlight
ened public policy."
It bow turns out that at the Con
etitntioaal election in Ohio the "no
license" clause was carried by a con
Hderable majority. The whiskey men
construe this to mean that no license
hall be granted, and therefore all
who please are free to sell liquors,
while the temperance people insist that
bo Ueease ean be granted, and there
fore absolute prohibition is to be the
rule.
The official Treasury statement of
the public debt for August, shows a
reduction of the debt during that
moatb of tlSSJCO; coin in the1
Treasury (including $24,141,200 in
oiA certificates), $71,073,928. This
show that the administration still
praeresiaiu policy of relieving
e JKWle by a tradaal
auction of the debt, enabling them
-from year to year to reduce taxation.
At all events bread roust be cheap
for a year to come. The crops in this (
country and Europe ore more than j
average. France and Germany which 1
bare of late years been purchasing
countries will this year have grain to
spare. This is not encouraging news
for farmers, but it is a theme for
thankfulness among thousands of
poor laborers.
The Republicans of Yermont have
elected their entire State ticket by a
majority of twenty-five thousand on
a light vote. The House will be
overwhelmingly Republican, and the
af a
Senate nearly unanimously the same
way. The Congressional delegation
trill st.nrt ihc enrnn . at riresent, al
though Judge Tcland has been de
feated by a bolting Republican can
didate.
A report has been in circulation
that Senator Cameron intended to re
sign and not take bis seat at the next
upRsmn of Confess the reason as
signed being that he wanted to re
tire from public life, and wanted bis
son J. D. to succeed bim. It was
also said bis health was failling. A
corresnondent writes that Senator
Cameron is now in Washington, and
says there is no sort of truth in the
statement He feels as 'well as be
ever did, and although be is nearly
seventy-six years old, be is as strong
and as bcarty as an ordinary man at
fifty. He intends to go to California
this full.
The Tittsburg Commercial well
says : 1 lie continued ascenueccy oi
Mn. . Jl - f
the Republican party was never more
necessary to the country than now.
The whole South is again in commo
tion, and the Democracy is almost
everywhere putting forth the doc
trine of repudiation. If that party
were to obtain a majority in Con
gress, practical rebellion in the form
of Ku-Kluxism would undoubtedly
rule the whole South ; the national
credit would be nearly destroyed;
the crisis of 1873 renewed with ten
fold force, and the country again
thrown into confusion and turmoil.
It is no time for taking chances: suc-
sess must be made certain.
The President has aeain been
compelled to extend protection to the
South. A perfect reign of terror has
been inaugurated in certain localities,
and the most villainous outrages per
petrated upon the people. The Cou
shatta massacre a brief history of
which will be found in Gov. Kellog's
proclamation in another column is
but one of a score of horrible crimes
lately committed in that unhappy
section of our country. That these
murderous outrages are perpetrated
from political motives, with a view
of intimidating the negroes from at
tending the polls at the fall elections,
there can, unhappily, be do doubt.
They are but a continuation of the
folly and crime that bas distinguish
ed the Democratic party Binee the
war; designed at first to delay and
prevent reconstruction, and now to
intimidate too negro from exercising
the right of citizenship. The color
ed men of the South have absolutely
been driven from all sympathy or
connection with the Democratic par
ty by the fierceness with which they
hare been fought, and all civil rights
denied them, and sow, when com
pelled, if the inclination had not ex
isted, to join their political fortunes
with the Republican party that has
labored lor their interests and their
protection, they are slaughtered with
out mercy and in cold blood for the
purpose of intimidating them and
preventing the exercise of their po
litical rights. The undoubted object
of tfcis Democratic "white man's"
party was to secure a majority in the
next National House of Representa
tives, and that thorough paced Dem
ocratic journal, the 'Louisville Courier-Journal,
admits the fact, and dis
pairingly deplores the follies of its
Southern partisans as follows:
"We give it op. There was a
chance that the next House of Rep
resentatives would not be Radical ;
that chance is gone. The outbreaks
in Kentucky and the massacre in
Tennessee 6ettle that much. No
people, no party, could stand under
such a load as the people of the. South
and the Democratic party of the North
are forced to carry. It is well to be
plain. As surely as the South begins
to get on its feet do its madmen pro
ceed to kick the fat in the fire. The
Radicals only want pretexts; the
South supplies them. A war, or the
appearance of a war, of races seems
inevitable; and that is itself a third
term under prosctiptive auspices.
That is the overthrow of Republican
government, but chiefly at the ex
pense of the South."
Here is an open admission tbatj
these horrible crimes are perpetrated
solely in the political interests of the
Democratic party, and it will be ob
served that this leading Democratic
journal has no regrets to express for
the violation of law, the commission
of sickening and inoet cowardly
crimes, the future prosperity of the
south, or the outraged pow-cr of the
nation, but simply deplores the ill
effects of these revolting outrages
upon the political prospects of the
Democratic party.
Good citizens of aU sanies thronh
out the country will bail with gratifi
cation the determination of the Pres
ident to put a 6top, if possible, to this
violence and bloodshed, and those
who have the welfare of the govern
ment at heart, who detest murder
and lawlessness, and who believe
that the humblest citizen is entitled
to protection ia ill bis rights, will see
to it that no act, or word, or vote of
theirs shall inure to the benefit or
towards the advancement to power,
of a political party u toso allies hes
itate not to perpetrate tke tnost dia-
a
ooiicai crimes, solely for
jmrtizau
purposes.

with an c-xceedinrrlv serviceable club,
each with a silver badge on which is

truardias of the city '8 peace, known
by reFi-ci table people as police, and
by tin class who most fear them as
"cops" and "Charlies." The great
majority of them speak the sweet
Irish brogue; tut they are, noiwitn
standing, as a rule, good, fair men
who conscientiously and bravely per
form the duty assigned them
Some facts as to the cost of keep
ing the metropolis in order may be of
interest to your readers, i o proper

2,500 men, besides tne numuer re
quired to officer them. There are
forty captains, besides inspectors, and

business to see that no rows or riots
occur in bis beat, that drunken men

pleasure it is to kill or maim one of
the hated class who 6tand between

and would bo a place which no
peacably disposed man would live in

for the risk of being knocked on the

Tilton-Beecher,
Forgive me for writing this head
ing, but 1 can't help it. The fact is,
the air is full of Tilton and the earth
ofBeecher. Elizabeth, Moulton, Su
san B. Anthony, and all the rest of
them are revolving in everybody s
mind like the bits of colored glass in
a kaleidoscope, and you can't get
away from it. There is something
so interesting in wickedness that one
most dwll on it
Since I wroie you last Moulton has
made bis statement, and, presto, pub
lic opinion, which is about as steady
as the wind, bas shifted to the iuton
quarter, and to-day he is the injured
man and Beecher the injurer. To
day ninety per cent, of the people of
rv ew i ork are satisfied or Ueechers
guilt in tLs matter. Moulton asserts,
in the strongest possible way that
both Beecher and Mrs. Tilton con
fessed to him the fact that they had
been guilty of adultery that the fa
mous letter to Tilton referred to this
adultery and nothing else, that it had
been discussed by them times with
out number. On this statement
public opinion veered to Tilton and
against Beecher, and to-day the
great preacher is down and the great
writer and speaker is on the top
wave. But this is net all. Tilton
and Moulton are making a supple
mental statement, which they pro
pose to publish in a week or two,
which those who have seen it assert
will so clinch the matter as to leave
no loopholo for Beecher to escape. It
is said that Tilton and Moulton have
not exhausted their magazines of
ammunition in the eape of letters,
by any means, but that tbey lave a
stock on hand sufficient to sink tiieir
enemies. That something of the
kind is feared by Mr. Beecher's
friends is evident from the fact that
since Moulton's statement appeared
they have mellowed down wonderful
ly. Nevertheless, they keep a good
front on it, and aver that the. legal
investigation which Tilton has com
menced will completely flatten Lim
out, and leave the pastor in better
shape than ever. Let the whole
world hold its breath and wait. In
the meantime,
Hexry C. Bowes,
the proprietor of the Indejxndent,
has got into it. The Brooklyn A rgus
published e statement from a West
ern man to the effect that Bowen
had stated that his late wife bad. on
her death-bed, confessed to a criminal
intimacy with Beecher, and that
Bowen accepted from Beecher a sum
of money in settlement of the matter.
Bowen and his two sons sue the
Argus for libel. This will be remem
bered as the old scandal which was
set afloat by Dr. Patton, of Chicago,
who received it from parties here.
What family is next to La dragged
through this mass of filth?
Glexdexxixc,
the Jersey City pastor, who was ac
cused of ruining Mary Pomeroy,
stoutly denies the charge, and remains
at his home awaiting the legal investigation.-
What a pity it is that the
Beecher matter could not have been
so managed !

the poor seem literally born Jaut to

when the air they draw from their

the Mississippi water with silt, and
they are nursed by overworked
mothers, worn to tkin and bones with
care, drudgery, and miserable food.

laces of the babies, lifting-weary
eyes to the sky, as if wondering why
distant heaven left them so long to
such a fate; babies hanging to the
overdrained breasts, from which
every scanty drop they drew came
straight from the mothers failing
health. I have seen a large framed
Scotchwoman, built for strength and
brought up in the open air, crying
with weakness, because the food she
could get could not nourish her and
her child. Another tfmo I saw a
white, poorly dressed man sitting in
Central Tark with a baby covered
with sores held tenderly in his arms.
Every other day, as often as he could
leave his work, he brought it from
Moot Etrect, one of the most squalid
in the city, five miles, that it might
have the fresh air. for two or three
hours before sundown. He said the
child's illness was caused by bad air

The sturdy members of St John's

could get over this awful inbred re
straint, and try and fight like the
babies with tho common rights of
humanity, but thanks to their self
control, tne Hospital uoat is iar nuui
an unpleasant place even for dainty
nerves. The clean, white cradles are
ranged in the cabins, and cots, the
rocking-chairs aud camp scats on

mothers, each with a white slender
baby in her arms, babies and mothers
alike glad of the soothing sail and the
good hearty dinner of beef, bread and

one holiday out of their hard year,
and getting life out of their clear and

Here a pair ot great dark eyes

of pleasure creeps across it, beauti
full to watch as, it is, the first flash

rest on a pale sallow cheek, as if the
heavy lids would never open again,
but as it sleeps in its crib, a tinge of

Governor Kellogg has issued a proc
tarnation placing a reward of $5,000 a
bead on all persona implicated in the
uousuatta anair, ana - accompanying
bis proclamation by the following
statement: . . -
T3- THE PUBLIC, f
Having felt it my duty to is?ue my
proclamation offering a large reward
for the apprehension and conviction
of the murderers in tho Coushatta
ootrago, and to the end that the law
abiding citizens of the State may ful
ly comprehend the magnitude of the
crime committed, and te induced to
render more active assistance to the
officers of the law, I deem it proper
to mako the following statement.
These facts are gathered from relia
ble information received at the Execu
tive Department: On or, about the
28th of August a body of persons be
longing to a semi-literary organiza
tion, known as the White League of
Louisiana, assembled in the town of
Coushatta, parish of Red River, in
this State, for the purpose of compel -
ling by force of arms tho State offi
cers of that parish to resign their po
sitions. These men were officers of
good character, most of thenK largely
inieresieu tu (tiuuiiu uuu mercantile
pursuits. They held their positions
with the full consent of an admittedly
large majority of tho legal voters of
the parish, tbii being a heavy Re
publican parish, as admitted by their
fusion returning boards. The only
known objection to them was that
they were of Republican principles,
Frank Edgerton, the duly qualified
Sheriff of the parish, in strict compli
ance with the'la w of tho State and of
the United States, summoned ft posse
comilatus of citizens, white and color
ed, to assist him in protecting the
parish officers in tho exercise of their
undoubted rights and duties from
threatened unlawful violence of the
White League. His posse, consisting
of sixty five men, were overpowered
by a superior force assembled from
adjacent parishes, and finally, after
several colored and white men had
been killed, surrendered themselves
as prisoners, with the explicit guaran
tee that their lives would be spared if
the more prominent Republicans
would agree to leave the parish and
those holding office would resign
their positions.
These stipulations, although un
lawfully exacted, wero complied
with. A part of the Republican offi
cials were then locked up in the jail
for the night. The following named
persons were amongst those who
surrendered and resigned: Homer J.
Twitchell, planter and Tax Collector
of Red River Parish, and Deputy,
United states rostniastcr, in charge
of the office at Coushatta; Robert A.
Dcwecs Supervisor of Registration
in De Soto Parish; Clark nollnoa,
merchant, and Supervisor of Regis
tration in Red River Parish; W. T.
Powell, Parish Attorney and United
States Counsel; Frank Edgerton,
Sheriff of Red River Parish; and M.
E. Willis, merchant, and Justice of
the Peace.
On the following morning, Satur
day August 30, these persons were
bound together, two by two, and con
ducted by an armed guard to the Mc-
i arland plantation, just over the Par
ish line of Red River, within the
boundaries of Bossier Parish, about
forty niile3 east of tho Texas lino.
There they were set upon and delib-
araLciy murdered in cold blood. On
the night preceeding the murder a
body of forty members of the White
League of Caddo Parish, mounted
aid armed.left the City of Shrevcport,
and were seen riding in the direction
of the place where the murder was
subsequently committed. Their bod
ies were burned where they fell,
without inquest or any formality
whatever.

Loxo Branch September Gen.
W. W. Belknap, Secretary War: Th?
recent atrocities in the south, particu
larly in Louisiana, ' Alabama and
South Carolina, show a disregard for
law, civil rights and personal protec
tion that ought not to be tolerated in
any civilised government.-
It looks as if, unices speedily check
ed, matters must 'become vorsa until
life and property there will receive
no protection and the local outhori
lies become powtrhisg, ! Under such
circumstances it is the duty pf the
government to give all in aid for the
protection of life and the civil rights
legally authorized.
To this end I wish you would con
sult with the Attorney General, who
is well informed as to the outrages
already, committed and tho localities
where the greatest danger lies, and
so order troops as to be available in
case of necessity. ; All proceedings
for the protection of the South will be
under the Law Department of "the
Government and will be directed by
the Attorney General in accordance
with the provisions of tho enforcement
act.
No instruction need therefore be'
given the troops ordered Into the
southern states, except as they may
bo transmitted from time to time on
advice from the attorney general or
as circumstances may ' determine
ber?r.fter. Yours truly,

At about tweot' minutes past one
6n Saturday afiernoor a iire broko
out in the loft of Beall & Koch
store, located on Main (street, Frost
burg, nearly opposite the St.
Michael's Catholic church. Th
alarm was quickly given and several
gentlemen ran up stairs, expecting to
reacn tne tiro by way ot t:;r trap
door in tho floor of the 1 ; i.t by
the time they arrived t ,, loft
immediately at and arou , i .i: it place
was burning, and it wa3 iuud lm
possible to get up. borne water was
brought but it amounted to nothing
in extinguishing the flames, and in a
very snort time tho whole roof was
on lire. She flames spread very rap'
ldiy to the adjoining roofs of Kellar
and the Old Franklin Block, and the
peoplo who were fast co'Tlgre'ratin'r
1 from all part of the place judged too
well that, with their inadequate "fire
projection," tho fire could not well be
checked, and would certainly prove to
be very destructive. . There was an
effort on the part of many to work at
tne tire, but this seemed useless to,
Tho greater number thea betook
tbimselves to assisting tho proprie
tors of the burning establishments in
removing their goods or in puttin
water on the roofs of houses in the
neighborhood, which wero or soon
would be in danger. Soon the row
of
buildings,
including also Marx
Wineland's extensive store were burn
ing, and all being very dry and wood
en in a few minutes time were one
sheet of flame. Goods were carried
out as long ns it was possible for men
to enter tho burninsr premises the
heat being so intense and the danger
constant and great from falling tim
bers, etc.
large quantities ot goods were
taken to the Catholic Church, par
sonage, and the yards of both, oppo
site, as well to stores and dwellings
farther removed from the fire: but
the major portion of the large stocks
of Y ineland and Beall & Koch, a
mine of riches iu elegant dress goods,
solid staples, rich carpetinsrs, fine
famishing good.-, notions, novelties,
etc., were destroyed, together with
most of the large stock of substan
tial, in the way of groceries and
provisions, beloniriii'r to Mr. J. J.
Keller.
Two of the occupant3 of the Frank
lin block, having light stocks, sue
ceeded in removing a good portion
or tneir roods, lfceso wero Mctz
ger & Co., stationers, and Theophil,
confectioner. Madame Van Klaiser
also removed some of her millinery
stock; but Mr. Huntley, who had a
neavy stock in one re?pect it being
hardware lost nearly all, and un
fortunately, was notlnsured.
On tho hast of vviucland was
Hitchins Brothers' store building a
substantial hrick. This firm became
alarmed, and removed a portion of
their stock, as did tho Messrs. Oder.
of the Journal, who carried nearly
everything out of their office but the
presses. This proved to be unneces
sary, as tee solid wall of that build
ing withstood the strong heat, and
the fire advanced no further ia that
direction. Directly on the north of
the burning block the fire was also
prevented from progressing up Main
street, by the brick house, with slate
roof, of Douglas Percy, Esq., which
stands on the corner of Main and
Broadway.
J?rora the Franklin Block the fire
moved southward on Broadway, tak
ing back buildings ia its way, and
crossing Mechanic street to the large
stable owned by the Hoblitzell heirs,
and rented by Mr. L M. Gorsueb.
for the stabling of about twenty
horses used at the fire brick work3.
This was a rich morsel for the flames
and was licked up with great ra
paidity. On the next lot, but fortunately
with some space between, are the
residence and office of Dr. Getzen
danaer. It required the strongest
efforts of many strong men (miners
ana otcers to save tins property,
and it seems remarkable that they
succeeded.- Back of the stable on
Mechanic street the fi.re spread to
three small dwelling houses owned
by Ilitcbins Brothers, which were
destroyed, as were two houses be
longing to Mrs. Keller, her owu resi
dence escaping.
Immediately opposite the stable
stood the largo new building owued
by Levi B." Porter, known ns ''Por
ter's Hall," and tbo wind Laying
changed carried, the tire to its roof and
front This building together with a
large stock of liquors, which could not
be removed, was burned, and was one
of tho heaviest Josses ofihe day.
The change in Lccogrso of the wind
was fortunate for tho Presbyterian
congregation, whose neat little church,
south of Porter's escaped injuiy.
On Mechanic Street westward the
flames spread, destroying buildings on
both sides of the street thops, dwell-,
ings and Dr. Englar's stable- The
store room of William R. Percy,
grocery, which fronts ou Broadway,
alsqparirht fire from the Mechanic
street houses, sncj ras damaged, as
was a building owned by jioqglaS;
Persy, Esq, From Mechanic the fire
swept arouud on Water street, in both
directions, burning two email business
rooms toward Main street, and a small
house on the other side. Sou: h ward,
however, it burned much faster, tlie
old and dry structures, on the east
side, consisting of shops and three
double dwellings, bouses, owned by
the Hoblitzell heirs, burned like tin-,
dur On the other sido of the street
four. 'dwellings ucro destroyed, one
built of brick and occupied by the
owner, Mrs. Taylor, which was the

By direction of Mayor McCulley
the steamer "Potomac," the "Cum
berland" engine and bose carriage,
and Pioneer's reel the latter two
well 'filled.' vitb hofce wero sent to
the depot as sooa ap possible, where
a trail) of three flat' cars had open
made-up, to be drawn by the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania engine No.
25. No more cars could be had; these
were closely crowded, and quite a
number of men were on the tender
of lbs locomotive. At 2:50 the en
gines' ahd'recU wore on tho cars and
well secured and with "all aboard"
tho train started for Frostburg.
There was great rejoicing among
the people at the news of "reinforce
ment?." After considerable diCicul -
ty the engines were taken from the
cars, and with four horses attached
to the steamer and a strong force of
men to the band-engine, both, with
the reels, were drawn to the scene of
the fire. Here they were soon putt
to good use; the Cumberland throw
jog on the Church, and tho steamer
on the Mechanic street bnildings.
About the time the firemen 6ct to
work the parsonage of the Lutheran
Church took fire, and their efforts
were directed to saving that building.
This they accomplished in good part;
the main building being but slightly
damaged. The hose was carried to
tho roof of the front part of the par
sonage, upon which the men lay
holding the hose securly id order that
tho fire might bo played upon in the
right place. The heat from the burn
ing church wa3 very severe, and they
were compelled to protect themselves
with pieces of wet carpet and cloth
ing which were thrown to them.
Tbo work of checking and extin
guishing ieo nre was now begun m
earnest, and r rostburg faces on ev
ery side looked hopeful. The local
"bucket brigade" went to work again;
and a force of men wero wisely set to
work cutting down and removing an
old frame building on the other side
of the parsonage. Ihe great trouble
was the scarcity of water. The fire
plugs could not be used ia feeding the
gines, and each engine pumped
several wells dry. This moving of
the engines added much to the labor,
but perseverance and hard work final
ly won; the fire fiend was fought
down, and tho victory achieved short
ly after five o'clock.
The origin of the conflagration is
unknown. There was no fire in
Beail & Koch's store, where the ca
lamity originated, and there is no
clue to any incendiarism. The mys
tery may be solved hereafter.
