There appears to be very little

to the repeal of tbe local option law.
TLc bill repealing tbe act has passed
two readings in the House by a vote
of 123 to 5C, and the friends of tbe

The New York Herald says: "In
the country at large the Democrats
have not gained since the fall elec
tions. The failure to re-elect Scburz;
1he refusal of some other Democratic
Legislatures to select first class men
as Senators; the evident lack of bar
tinny among the party leaders on
tbe currency and tariff questions, aud
the feeling that the party Las no pol
icy except opposition to the Republi
cans, and is not ready to welcome re
cruits from even the liberal Republi
eau ranks, combine with the general
distrust of Democratic politicians to
make tbe country slow to give them
its confidence.
The risibles of the Democracy
ere wonderfully exercised over the
i.efeat of Ren Butler for Congress,
and thero was'nt an individual Dem
ocrat who did'nt feel as if Le bad
gained a personal victory. Just Low
much the Democracy have gained by
I'.utioi's defeat, may be judged from
tbe following extract from a speech
made la-fore tbe Crnstitutional Club
f Boston by his successor, Hon.
Charles Thompson. These arc Lis
iiotublo words:
- I want nothing said about colored jk-o
pie. nothing said alktut the white. 1 want
no discrimination in any manner or form.
Tin v li-ll the word ouiot the Constitution,
ami 1 want it forever left out ol future leg
Wat ion. Aud that party which, in the
jiresent suite of affairs, endeavors to put
the colored man or the white man into tbe
law ptila the l.itdgc of inferiority upon one
or the other. We arc not to treat the col
ored H!ople as wards of the w Uite people.
They are not to be the wards of the Gen
eral Government or the wards of the State
Government, hut they ought to be, as
lhey are, thank God! American citizens
villi all their rights and piivileges as
American citizens.'"
"Accokdixo to present appear
ances," says tLe New York Tribune,
"the New York Democracy are dili
gently engaged in cutting their own
throats." The Gght between Mayor
Wiekbam and Governor Tilden con
tinues. The former wants to make
w holesale removals in order to sur
round himself w ith Tammany asso
ciates. The Governor wants to know
w by be should be called upon to sanc
tion such changes; the Mayor re
fuses to give bis reasous; and the
Governor rejoins that, if neither of
ficial courtesy nor a sense of Lis offi
cial obligations will impel the Mayor
to give the information required, he
(Governor Tilden) w'lltake measures
to secure it by independent investiga
tion. The upshot is, as stated by the
paper quoted above, the New York
Democrats "lu'ist either now bully
their own Gorernor Into submission,
or they must submit to be beaten by
him in an oj.cn effort to scire u pon
the patronage of the city."
Th: election of cx-Presiuent Andy
Johnson to the U. S. Senate was a
source of great jubilation to the De
mocracy, and he was straightway
inrited to help canvass New Hamp
shire for the Democratic State ticket.

as follows:

All out troubles have arisen from the

The only obstacle to peace now is the re

U. S. Sexatou Brownlow, of 1
Tennessee, who retires ou the 4tb i
inst, to be succeeded by- ex-Pr--i'I nt t
Johnson, has purchased a half inter
est in tbe Knoxril'e Winy ami Chron
icle. In Lis salutatory to tbe pub
lic, be tbu3 predicts a Republican
triumph at the next Presidential elec
tion:
"or do I read 'the siirns ol tbe times'
as those who believe that the country is to
be a'llictcd with the success of the Demo
cratic paity in the Presidential election oi
1S76. On the contrary, the indications
point to the defeat ol that party in the
great national contest. Ami I litre pre
dict that the great party w hit h hns con
trolled the National Government for fifteen
years will not only have a new lease oi
iw.r in 1H-.R but the dav is not ur dis
tant when it will redeem and regenerate
Tennessee."
No one is better acquainted with
Southern politics, or understands the
the Southern rebels belter than does
Brownlow, and his views are entitled
io weight and credit.
The labor strikes in the anthracite
mining regions in this State, are de
veloping incendiarism, murder, and

laid and assassinated, mines are

by incendiaries, and the lives of hun

tbe lawless scoundrels, who arc at

for labor from their employers.
Several attempts Lave been made

Day by day, the impression is
grow ing in the micds of some of our
most intelligent and coolest states
men, that a very grave crisis is im
pending, that may lead to a renewal
of the late civil w ar. The result3 of
tLe last rear's elections, the fact tbat
tbe Democrats will have a majority
in the next Congress, aud the cer
tainty hat the secession element will
control that majority, together with
the hope of electing the next Presi
dent, has unchained rebel tongues,
and renewed -ebel machinations to
such an extent .that Republicans in
the South are being thoroughly in
timidated, and the rebel Democracy
exultantly proclaim their intentions
for the future. Thus, one of the edi
tors of the Albany Journal, w ho is
now in Washington, writes that
"there is no disguising the fact the
country is approaching a very grave
crisis. Tbe caluics'. and most impas
sioned men here are profoundly im
pressed with the magnitude of the
dancer." We take the following
from his letter:
"I had a two hours' talk this morning
with a member of tbe Investigating Com
mittee which has iust returned from New
Orleans a member in whose coolness of
judgment md fidelity to truth and consci
entiousness ol character tne country naa
entire confidence. The very worst, said
this memtier, that lias, been reported as to
the terrible condition ot affairs in the
South does not begin to p'wc the whole
truth. Unless one has visited ew Or
leans, the imagination cannot conceive the
dreadful reality. While the plan lor a
compromise under the auspices of the com
mittee was m progress in ew Orleans,
scores and scores ot the leading business
men, not Republicans but Conservativt
went privately to the members and said :
'For God's sake, do not leave the State
until vou have effected a settlement of this
difficulty and given us a reign ot law and
order.' They were all intensely anxious
tor the compromise. 1 hev were askcu :
If you would come out publicly in favor
of this compromise, it woulU do mucu l
secure its aecep'ance ; w hv don't you do
it' Wc dare n:.t.' was the answer ; 'if
it were known that we were here privately
with members ot the committee, urging
the compromise, our Louses and stores
would lie burned over our heads within
twenty -lour hours.' "
Again, the New Orleans corre
spondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who attended the Democratic meet
ing in the former city opposed to all
compromise, Fays: "To have heard
the speeches on that occasion, one
wou'd supposed that the people of
the North, in their elections last fall,
had not only given a direct expres
sion against the outcome of the adop
tion of the Fifteenth Amendment,
but bad also confessed their error in
entering iuto the war in defence of
the Union, and most humbly apolo
gized to the South therefor."
And then in the Louisville Courier
Journal we find the following open
declaration: "When war comes, as
"coming it is, it shall be civil war.
"The North must be tbe scene of
"conflict, not the South."
And this is not mere idle bravado
on part ot the Courier-Journal. It
is a Democratic journal of high au
thority in the party, that does not
indulge in idle talk and threats, and
it undoubtedly reflects tbe sentiments
and opinions of the Southern Dem
ocratic Congressmen elect. Its dec
larations, therefor, taken in connec
tion with the state of sentiment in
the South as portrayed by the cor
respondents of the Albaay Journal
and tbe Chicago Tribune startlingly
! arrest public attention, and excite
anxietv in the minds of many of
, . . , . ' ,
most rrUiient and thoughtful of
the
of our
public men.

IIIR AEW YORK LKTTKK.
New York, March 1
st. John's guild.
1875
.New lork may be extravagant,
but it is ueitber penurious nor mean
St. John's Gnild is a charity celebra
ted 'or the thoroughness and system
with which it does its work. Sup
ported entirely by voluntary contri
butions, it accomplishes moro for the
relief of the poor than r-v dozen
other charities in the eitv. It will
be remembered tbat last summer it
organized a series of excursions for
tbe sick children of the very poor,
taking them up the river in barges,
six or seven hundred at a time, and
giviog tbo little invalids the fresh air
and nourishing food necessary to
keep them alive. All this terrible
winter the Guild has furnished food,
fuel and clothing for four thousand
families, tweuty thousand persons, all
deserving cases, sought out by its
officers. But tbe long continued cold
weather was too much for the Guild
and its resources were insufficient.
Last Thursday morning it was an
nounced that the supplies were ex
hausted, and that unless aid was ren
dered at once the charity must close
its operations. Many a poor widow,
and many a poor man out of work,
heard tbe announcement with a sink
ing heart, for during the long, tedious
winter the Guild had been their only
reliance.
They were unnecessarily alarmed.
The auuounccmenl was made in the
morning, and by night $2,000 in
money aud three enormous truck
loads of provisions were sent in, en
abling the royal chhrity to continue
ia its good work of feeding the hun
gry and clothing the naked. And
money is still pouring in to a degree
that will euable the Guild to notonly
feed ita present pensioners, but to ex
tend its benefactions. New York
supports its charities nobly.
THE RAILROAD WAR.
The railroads have got by tbo
ears, and the people are getting a
benefit. The Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania Central have
drawn tbe sword and (I hope) thrown
away tho scabbard, and tbe result fs
cheap fare. These road3 have re
duced their fares to the West, and of
course ail tbe others are doing like
wise. Today tickets to Chicago
which were $22.50, can be bad over
any of the roads leading to the West
for $16.50, which makes traveling as
cheap as can be reasonably asked.
If tbe fight could only last but it
win not. v nca the lit or passion is
over compromises w ill be effected,
ana up tne rates win go as biga or
higher than ever. The railroads have
us. And speaking of quarrels be
tween corporations, the
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES
arc having a turn at it The Pacific
and Atlantic got tbe control of cer
tain patents that facilitate tbe trans
mission of messages, and immediate
ly it attacked tbat monstrous mon
opoly, tho Western Cnion. The first
shot fired by tbe P. and A. was tne
reduction of ten-word messages to
Washington, Philadelphia, Albany,
or Boston, and to places between
those points, to 25 cents, less than
half tbe old rate, and the Western
Union was compelled to follow suit.
Now the P. and A. managers are ar
ranging for a reduction to all points,
and the Western Union is quaking in
its shoes. The fact, is, telegraphing
has been the most unmitigated swin
dlo tbe people have had to bear. Tbe
rates have been three times what
they should have been, for tbe reason
tbat one company virtually controlled
the business, and the people had to
pay whatever was put upon them.
And this struggle, as in the case of
the railroads, will result in no per
manent good. After a brief fight, a
combination will be made, and tbe
old rates will be restored.
The postal package system is keep
ing the express companies within
bounds, aud why should not the same
department do our telegraphing?
That's a questiou to be considered.
BEECH ER-TILTON.
Theodore is off the stand, and now
comes other witnesses. The most
important of the new batch was Miss
Kate Carey, formerly a nurse in Til
ton's family, wbo swore directly that
she saw Elizabeth Tilton sittiug in
Henry Ward's lap, with his arm
about her, and that he came frequent
ly to see her in her chamber. This
testimony created a seusation, as
might be supposed. Beccher's law
yers were ignorant of the existence
of such a woman, and so were Til
ton's, for that matter. She was
found by accident, which gives her
testimony more weight than it would
otherwise have. She was in Belle
vue Hospital, and only the day be
fore she testified, remarked (bat she
had been a nurse in Tilton's family,
and told what she had seen. Imme
mediately the information was given
to Tilton's attorneys, and Mrs. Carey
was brought forthwith. The most
cruel thing tbat has transpired is tbe
putting ou tbe stand of Joseph II.
Richards, Mrs. Tilton's only brother.
He very reluctautly swore to having
seen tbe parlies in a position that led
to the gravest fears as to the purity
of their relations to each other. He
was distressed at the position he
was placed in, and said as little as
possible.
But the great iutetest iu this fa
mous trial is yet to come. Beecber
will take tbe stand in a short time to
tell what he knows of it, or at least
as much of what be knows as be
chooses to tell. Then the fur will
fly in earnest. His friends insist
tbat be can disprove every statement
that Tilton has made, aud tbat be
can clear himself of all charges made
against biru, aud come out speckles
and stainless. Till he appears, the
trial will be dull enough.
Friday moruing Mrs. Frank Moul
ton was put upon the stand. If her
husband was a terrible witness, tbe
wife was doubly so. She swore di
rectly to the fact that Beecber had
confessed the crime to ber specifical
ly; and she swore in such a way as
to carry conviction. The opinion is
that Mrs. Moulton's testimony is the
most terrible blow Beecber has re
ceived. But who knows what he
has to counteract it?
ART.
The city is not quite given up to
gossip and scandal, though the scan
dal makes tbe most noise. At tbe
sale of pictures at tbe water-color ex
hibition, the price9 paid were from
$200 to over a thousand, which
shows there is money in some bands.
Schaus, the picture-dealer, shows an
exquisite Marguerite tbe only one
that ever approached the ideal parity
and grace of Faust's village maiden
wLuh is valued at $5,000, while a
carnival scene of Roman girla io g
balcony throwing confectionery
girls whose arms and necks on the
canvas look aa if a touch would dim
ple them waa for sale at $3,000.
Tbe taste for art steadily increases,
though perhaps not ia tho regular
channels of painting and sculpture
as in the more familliar direction f
decorative art The best housea In
New York have genuine artists in
their employ for the finer portions f
their work. Tiffany & Co. 'a artist
made tbe design for tbe rase to be
presented to William Cutleo Bryant,
which bore away the palm, front nu
merous competitors ; and more than
one furnishing company keeps a score
of artists in their employ who design
the interior of rich houses, so that
wall hangings, curtains and carpets
all belong to eaeb o.her, and art
made for each other. The fittings for
tbe Philadelphia parlor of a wealthy
banker were all in Egyptian style.
The pale tapestry carpets, the up
holstery of the antique couches woven
for tbe suite, and the hangings, which
represented desert scenes, were tap
estry fine as mellow painting, at dis
tance enougn to lose sight of the
stitches. This compound of light
green and sand-yellow tapestry, ebo
ny and ivory sphinx beads, coffins
and claws, cst $300,000, money
enough, common folks would think,
to spend on one suite of parlors. A
California millionaire ordered from a
house here a parlor suite that cost
$250,000, gold, all designed and made
in this city.
The amount looks very large for
these hard times, bnt it is not busi
ness men, or those in active business,
who do these things. It is those who
have accumulated great fortunes in
stocks, gold, oil, or in some other
way, and who bave hauled out of
the current with more money than
they know what to do with. It
seems horrible tbat with so much
distress in the country these immense
sums should be spent on mere orna
mentation; but it is a comfort to
know tbat if the money must be thus
spent it is all paid out in the coun
try. Tbe American artists and me
chanics bave outstripped their French
competitors and to-day stand confess
edly in tbe van.
THE WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
The weather is moderating, thank
Heaven, and so is business. There
is more weather than business, bow
ever; in ract, tnere isn't any business
at all. How long this stagnation is
to continue the wisest cannot pro
phesy. PlITRO.

Oneonta, New York, dispatch says
tbreo boys living in Exeter, named
Patrick, Martin and Michael O'Brien,
aged respectively eight, tea and
eleven years, were frozen to death
during the intense cold weather of
last week. It appears the father and
mother are lazy and dissipated peo

baskets, and tbe three others just

country selling tbem. On Tuesday

marked 25 below zero. Mr. aud
Mrs. O'Brien told tbeir three littli
children that tbey must start out
with a lot of baskets. Tbe boys
begged to be allowed to wait until
tbe weather moderated. They were
poorly clad. The parents forced
tbem, however, to go out. Tbey
started in tbe direction of Westville,
some miles distant, over a bleak and
desolate road, hilly, and ia some
places tbe snow was badly drifted.
On Wednesday morning tbe bodies
of the three children were found ly

Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. t.3. The
execution of Ernst Ortwain, tbe mur
derer of the Hammett family, took
place in tbe jail yard at noon to-day.
The crime for wibch Ortwcio suffer
ed death was committed on tbe night
of April 10th last, near Homestead,
a village on the Pittsburg, Virginia
ana Charleston Kailroad. six miles
above this city. His victims were
John Hammett, a well-to-do farmer,
hid wife Agnes, two daughters nam
ed Ida and Emma, and a bound boy
named Robert Smith. The murder
waa discovered early the next morn
ing, the burning of their bouso at
tracting tbe attention of the neigh-!
bors, and during the dav the remain I
of the unfortunate family were taken
from the ruins.
At the time of tbe murder Ortwein
was engaged as a farm hand by Mr.
Hammett aod treated as one of tbo
family. He was a native of Ger
many, and Las been in this couutry
about two years. After bis arrest he
made a confession, and has since ex
pressed himself willing and ready to
pay the penalty f his crime.
All the gates leading to the-jail
were guarded by police this niorninsr,
and those holding tickets of admit
tance were not admitted until 11
o'clock. At 11:45 reporters and
other witnesses took tbeir positions
around the scaffold, and at 12 o'clock
Ortwein, accompanied by Rev.
Messrs. Hertzberger and Meiser, fol
lowed by Sheriff Hare and deputies,
and Messrs. Hollock, Gilmore aud
McKelvy, emerged from the narrow
passage of the jail. Ortwein was
dressed in a black broadcloth suit,
and though pale, appeared perfectly
calm and willing to meet death. He
ascended the scaffold with a firm
step. After the cap, a white one,
had been adjusted, he bade those
around him goodbye, and exclaimed
in a loud and firm voice: Jesus
Christ, have mercy on my soul ;
into Thy hands I commit myself."
At three minutes alter 12 tbe drop
fell, and Ernst Ortwein was launch
ed into eternity.
After hangug for eighteen minutes

The Lancaster Jixpress savs :
One of the most daring burglaries
ever perpetrated in this city took
place at tbe residence of officer Wil
liam Powell, No. 233 West King
street At that hour an. entrance
was effected to the dwelling by pry-
ng open a shatter at the east end of
the buildiner, which is situated on an
Her.. The first intimation of the
presence of tbe burglars was when
they appeared in the sleeping apart
ment of Mr. and Mrs. Powell, who
occupy separate beds. There were
three . men 'unmasked, apparently
Germans, and Mr. Powell is confi
dent be could recognize them.
One of tbe men, seeing that Mrs.
P. was awake, approached the bed
and placed a pistol to her head,
threatening ber with instant death if
she gars any alarm. One of the
others siezed Officer Powel bv the
ibroat, aod finding that (oltbough

taken, and the burglars made good
their escape with tbeir booty.
The Villa r Maaaflel Overflowed
Tbe warm weather for the last two
or three days has bad the effect to
produce a sudden thaw, tbe results
of which bas already been realized
by the inhabitants of tbe village of
Mansfield, about six miles out of the
city on tbe Panhandle Railroud.
Yesterday morning the water rose to
such a height tbat a Dumber of fami
lies were driven from tbeir home?,
and tbe household goods had to be
removed to the upper rooms. It is
said that Davis' dam, on Chartiers
creek, has caused the ice to gorge
and back the water to such an extent
as to cause this overflow which is
doing much damage. Tbe wooden
bridge across Chartiers creek, at
Mansfield, was carried away by tbe
flood. The force of tbe immense
volume of water and ice may be un
derstood when it is stated that the
nriddle stone pier was swept away
by the current. The loss by tbe de
struction of the bridge will te
