Tbe Stati officials, says tbe Leb

mosey enough to keep the State from

Ar the time of the death of Ex
President Andrew Johnson it was as
serted that, although a poor man, be
bad taken ut life insurance policies
to the amount of f 350,000. This is
not only denied, but it is now assert
ed tbat his estate is estimated at be

A kew freight tariff was sgrted
upon and went into operation last

that tbe business public will make up
to the railroad companies for the
losses sustained during tbe time in
-which they kept np their senseless
war.
The New York Herald gives utter
ance to an important truth when it
says: "Tbe truth is tbat tbe country
is not suiTe'iag any longer from pov
erty." We have as much actual
wealth as we ever bad, for, although
for the last tW3 years we have been
producing less ot some Icings, we
have alio been consuming less. Many
thing have been marked down in
value, or rather price, at a shocking
rate, but that is because they were
too high before ; tbc things them
selves we still have, and they consti
tute our real wealth, irrespective of
their money valuation. Tbe trouble
with us is that wc are frightened out
of our propricy; we have most
senselessly lost conSdence, and we
fail to discriminate between the sound
and the unsound, and, like frightened
children, stand- still and whine, in
stead of getting earnestly to work.

be remembered, was defeated last
year in bis aspirations for tbe Su
preme Judgeship. The financial plat
form will probably favor neither any
extensive inflation nor contraction.
This was so distasteful to the advo

There is little temptation to an hon

sympathy. If swindled depositors
would occasionally bang a scoundrelly
banker, it would have an excellent
moral effect on this business.
(fitwesa f (lie Democracy la Govern.
The Democratic journals and their
"Independent" allies have been mali
ciously charging that through the in
strumentality of tbe President tbe
prosecution against tbe thieves of the
"Whisky Ring'' would not bo rigor
ously punished, because some of them
had held positions under tbe Govern
ment, and possessed considerable po
litical influence. A friend of the
President having written him, enclo
ing a number of those articles cut
from tbc newspapers making tbe
charges; tbe President immediately
sent tbe letter to tbe Secretary of the
Treasury, with this emphatic endorse
ment: Referred to tbe Secretary of the Treas
ury, i'liis was Intended as a private letter
for inV information, and contains many
extracts from St Ixmis papers not deemed

that if it throws any light upon new par

"U.S. Grant,

We judge there can be no misun
derstanding of this p'ain talk, and the
hounds who invented this lie will
have to drop it and coin another.
We really begin to fear that many
of our friends of the Democratic press
are getting deaf as well as blind.
Cut few of them have heard of tbe
resuit of the late election in North
Carolina, and apparently none of
them have seen tbe figures. This
singular epidemic prevailing among
Democratic editors may be entirely
In the political tempest which last
year swept over the North, tbe Dem
ocrats secured control over one or
both branches of tbe Legislatures in
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut. In
these six States Democracy had a
good chance to show itself as it really
is; and as the exhibition which it ac
tually made of itself in these Legis
latures was disgraceful throughout,
it is well to keep the public constant
ly reminded of the fact. While the
several Legislatures were in session
tbe people of tbe State kit the dis-j
grace keenly; but now tbat they
have adjourned, tbe natural tendency
to forget comes in to the help of tbe
recusants. We propose, consequently,
to revive tbc memories of last winter,
and to keep tbe public awake to the
fart tbat the real disgrace of turbu
lence and rowdyism in legislation falls
upon those who are represented, as
well as those who represent tbem.
Speaking of the Illinois and Ohio
Legislatures, which were Democratic
in both branches and notorious for
their incompetency and disorder, tbe
Chief go Tribune says:
"In the history of this State there
is no record of so contemptible and
worthless a Legislature as that of
last winter. There is not a respect
able Democrat in Illinois who was
not ashamed of the uses to which tbe
party applied tbe power temporarily
in their hands. We understand tbat
the last Legislature in Ohio, which
was also Democratic, was extrava
gant, reckless, blundering and con
temptible. It reformed nothing and
left an evil prestige behind it."
"Contemptible and worthless,"
"Extravagant, reckless and blunder
ing" these are adjectives which ap
ply to the Democratic II ousts in
Pennsylvania and New York, and to
the Democratic Legislatures in Indi
ana and Connecticut, as well as to
tbe Assemblies in Ohio and Illinois.
They were all bad, outwardly and
inwardly, from tbe circumference to
the core; and there seemed to be no
one in cither who was capable o!
handling the noisy mobs which con
stituted each, or who had either the
ability or the sense to lead tbem out
of chaos and confusion into the sem
blance of order and decency. "The
fact is," as the Chicago Tribune
says, from whoso article we have
just quoted, "the Democratic party
is not fit at this time to govern any
thing from the nation down to a vil
lage. It has no leaders who can con
trol the incongruous and discordant
elements of which it is composed
Its numerical strength is the result
of a combination of tbe outs and dis
affected. It is at present made up
of ex-Republicans, ex-Liberals, ex
Whigs, ex-Abolitionists, and largely
of ex-rebels. These have no com
mon policy or principle. It is a com
bination f factions, and each faction
liberally officered by demagogues."
Whether it has ever been fit, or ever
will be, to govern anytrfsg, is a
problem difficult of solution; but
there is no difficulty in determining
the fact tbat it is not fit, note. It
has, of itself and by its own acts,
demonstrated its unfitness, and no
one who truly prizes tbe good name
of his country or his State will ever
vote again to intrust it with a power
it is totally unqualified to yield.
( R SEW YORK LETTER.
New York, August 23, 1S75.
THE OBKATr.UI.lRE.
One not in tbe secret of business
arrangements, and not entirely con
versant with business morality, would
really feel very sorry at the failure of
a banker or merchant particularly if
tbe said banker or merchant bad
long enjoyed 'the confidence of bis
fellows. In imagination we picture
the man waking up some morning
and finding himself unable to meet
bis engagements, and we fancy tbe
anguish tbat tears bim almost limb
from limb. Tbjj comes the sheriff,
the eviction, tbe giving up of the
grand mansion, tbe taking of bumble
rooms, tbe humiliating search for
employment, and all tbat sort of
thing. That used to be the pro
gramme some years ago, but it isn't
now. Djncan, Sherman & Co. fail
ed tew weeks ago, but there wasn't
any anguish about it They proceed
ed deliberately to shove out all tbe
letters of credit they could; they put
acceptances on tbe market wherever
it was possible; tbey gathered in all
the deposits they could; they turned
overall their real estate to their
fathers and wives, and then in tbc
coolest and most dignified manner
pciiible they announced their "ina
bility to meet their engagements,"
and each member of the firm retired
to his country seat There are hun
dreds of ruined men who bad their all
JOHN MORBISST,
Tbe pugilist, gambler and leader of
Democracy, don't propose to be kill
ed as easily as Kelly and the other
Tammnnyites would wish. The fact
is, John is stronger than Tammany.
He has an immense following of the
lower classes of Irish and Americans,
and be can control more caucusses
than any man in the city. With
this strength at his back, John ob
jects to being counted out as a man
of no account lie wants nis say in
matters; be wants his share of the
offices; he wants his dip into the
Treasnrv. in short, tbe short-haired
John wants to be a leader of Democ
racy. So when Tammany struck
him, he struck back, and Tammany
was astonished at tbe force of tbe
blow. As tbe Democracy are yery
likely to split, there is a remote pos
sibility tbat tbe Republicans may get
control of tbc city at tbe next elec
tion. I say remote, for somehow the
many factions of the Democracy have
a trick of coming together wben tbe
spoils are in danger. Rut let us hope
tbat their angry passions may be
aroused sufficiently to enable the
decency of tbe city to have a show.
POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
Tbe city takes a lively interest in tbe
Ohio election, because of the peculiar
position of tbe parties. The stand
tbe Democracy have taken for infla
tion has awakened a feeling here
against tbe party tbat finds a very
free expression. The best Democrats
here pray for tbe defeat of Allen and
his rag-money. New York is suffer
ing more from the general depression
in business than any of tbe cities, and
tbey all know tbat inflation would be
a temporary relief, but they know al
so that settling day must come soon
er or later, and as they are part way
to it, tbey prefer to hold on till it is
here. What they want is something
settled and fixed. The merchant
now goes to bed with $300,000 in
goods he wakes up to find the de
cline in gold has knocked off 5 per
cent., which of itself is a profit True,
a rise helps tbrm, but as be is a mer
chant and not a broker, be does not
want his trade affected by causes
which he neither understands or can
in any way control. If the business
men of New York bad their way Al
len would be beaten by 100, 0Q0 ma
jority.
THE HOSPITAL BARGE OF ST. JOHN 8
GUILD.
.Mention was made last year in
these le'.ters of the excursions for
iick children, sent out by tbe active
and wise charity of this noble asso
ciation. Thousands of ailing infants
and their mothers twice a week went
out in the bay in tbe steamer charter
ed by tbe Guild, and tbe days spent
in cool pure air, away from tbe fetid,
stifling dens they inhabit, were the
only things that stood between these
little lives and death. The state
ments of the health officers show that
the decrease in infant mortality
among ine poor is no imaginary re
sult of sentimental charitv. Proba
bly twenty-five per cent of the sick
children reached by this aid owe
life and health to these hours of pure
air. l Lis year tbe Uuild was able
to own a barge, fitted up as a floating
hospital with every convenience for
the sick, and every pleasant day it
carries out a load of patients away
from the heat and smells of tbe city
into tbe blessed coolness and bright
ness ot ocean. A. better wort, more
truly becoming the name of Christian,
was never done in our cities. It is
much tbe fashion to pity dwellers in
large ana crowned cities, but if in
terior towns would take the idea cf
similar sanitary measures, it would
tell greatly on the epidemics which
are increasing weekly this fatal sea
son. There is better chance for tbe
poor in New Y'ork, Boston and Phil
adelpuia to-dav, witn toe close in
spiration of health officers and sanita
rv rules, tben in tbe undramed, un-
tended outskirts of tbe manufactur
ing village, in shanties sandwiched
between the wash of a stream, which
is the common sewer of a township,
and littered streets, odorous with
garbage and Jamestown weed. By
tbe way, it would have perceptible
effect on tbe fever and agne and tbe
typhoid, that hold carnival this rainy
year, if there were a general mowing
of herbage, and clearing np of streets

not more than four times what it
should be, but wben the opposition
is removed by consolidation, up go
the rates tJ just whatever point will
satisfy the cormorant There is but
one remedy for this, and tbat is the
placing of the telegraph in the hands
of the Postal Department, just as the
transmission of letters is and always
bas been. When Mr Gould's plans
mature, and he puts the screws on a
little; possibly the people will see it,
and instruct their representatives so
plainly to do it, tbat Gould and bis
ring will not be able to buy them.
There can bejust as many reasons
civen whv tbe Government should
not carry letters as why ittbould not
send telegraphic dispatcbis.
BUSINESS
is still wretchedly dull, and there are
no signs of its being any better in the
falL In fact business men have
given up the idea of any decided
change till next year, or at least till
after the present crop is harvested
and marketed. By that time they
believe the stocks on hand will be
exhausted and tbat exchanges must
commence again. They are encour
aged somewhat by tbe later reports
from the country. Despite the terri-j
ble rains, tbe average production
will be good, and there will be a fair
European demand for it So buoyed
up by Lope, tbey arc all taking in
sail by reducinir their expenses and
holding on till the good times, so
long looked for, come to them again.
Heaven send that tbey may not be
too lone; in cominar. for a most terri
ble experience the business of the
countrv has eone throuxb for three
long, dreary years.
THE BEECUER-TILTON CASE
remains in statu quo. Tilton is going
for Beecher once more, but tbe
announcement makes no sensatiou.
The public here have lost all interest
in the sorrows of Iheodore, and i
doubt if anythin? can galvanize the
corpse into lite. W nenever tne
name of either of the parties is men
tioned, people simpjy hold their noses
and don't stop to discuss, uonse
quently if the trial ever takes place
it will be of very short duration. Il
was the interest the public toolc in it
tbat prolonged ft so before. Let us
hope we have heard tbe last of it.

A Terrible Hlalnc Accident.
Scranton, August 14. The Mount
Pleasant mine, near this city, was
the scene of a thrilling accident this
morning, by which two young men
were instantly killed and another so
seriously injured that death is mo
mentarily expected. The main en
trance to tbe mine is effected through
a slope 1,200 feet long, and driven at
an angle of 33 degrees, through
which coal is hoisted up from ibe
diamond vein which the Company is
operating at present Shortly after"
7 o'clock this morning a party of six
miners started to walk down the
shaft When about half way down
the men at the bead bouse proceeded
to lower empty ears for miners, ac
cording to custom. As tbe workmen
had just pushed tbe first car from tbe
landing the grappling bowk became
detacbed, and tbe car dabbed down
the steep slope with lightuing-like
rapidity, overtaking David Owens.
Evan Davis and Thomas Sterrit
about midway in tbe gloomy pas
sage. Owens and Davis were in
stantly killed and thrown some forty
feet from where tbey were struck.
Sterrit received a horrible gash across
the forehead and wa3 rendered insen
sible. The car jumped tbe track at
this point and knocked down some of
the props supporting tbe roof, caus
ing a shower of rocks to fall down
and smash tbe car and block up the
slope. Tbe men accompanying those
who were struck took refuge behind
the track in a narrow bed scooped
out of the rock and escaped unhurt.
Thos. D. Bevan, foreman of the mine,
declared that in an expericn e of
twenty years he had not witnessed
anything so truly thrilling in its ef
fects as when the car slot down the
plane like a thunderbolt from tbe
bands of the miners at the bead
house, who seemed to be electrified
as they stood powerless to prevent
the fate which tbey knew was about
to overtake tbeir comrades.
crossing, at o:U this morning, -nr.
W. Chappy, conductor of t',e third
section of the Express freight east,
noticed the lorm of a de i i w.-.in Lc
tween the two tracks, himI ot once
stopped bis train. The ib-cva-i-d wss
lyiug with his head to tho wet, and
his eft arm restins ia the tlanje on
the south side of tbe north track.
His watch had been jerked from his
Docket and was stepped at 4:35, so
that less than a miuute after the train
Dassed Eas: Conemau 'h the accident
occurred.
As soon a-i possible a p:iher was
sent do n from East Cor emaugb, and
the remaios. were taken up to depot
at that i !acJ, Lc:i it was first dis
covered that th bod v was that of
Hon. Samuel Henry. It was then
reniaved to tho railroad hotel, and a
notice to Coroner Braiy to go t tbat
place and hold an inquest. After ex
amining '.be body tbey proceeded io
take an inventory of tbe personal ef
fects of deceased, consisting of a
small sum of money, a sealed letter,
two insurance tickets on the Railway
Passenger Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Connecticut, for $3,000
each, tbe limit of which will expire
at fi o'clock this eveninsr, and ou
which tbc word "wife" was written
diagonally across the face with a
lead pencil, as well as several ani
cles of jewelry, a gold watch, etc.
Tbe conductor t-f tbe Pittsburgh
Express says tbat Mr. Henry got
out of bis berth at Alioona, and wash
ed and dressed himself, then sat down
in the smoking car, r.nd when the
traiu arrived at Cresson left his bag
gagi, consisting of a hand satchel, at
that place, and again got on board j
with the intention ot coming to tnis
place. The train passed Conemaugh,
when be said to the conductor that
he would go back into the sleeping
car for some purpose. It is altogeth
er probable tbat m passing between
the cars he was thrown from the
platform, and as tho train was run
ning very rapidly bis death must
have been instantaneous.
Tbe principal wound received was
in the left side of the head in a line
running back to the back pr.rt c f it.
and crushing the skull iu such a way
as to permit the bruins to ocz? out.
There were also contusions on bis
body, and at the knees, and his tight
foot, and left wrist, were dislocated.

.-hotguns and pistols. The Sheriff
stepped out whoa tbey came to tbe
house and ordered tbem to surrender.
Tbe leader of tho band drew his pis
tol and fired at the sheriff, missiug
bim. Tbe sheriff and posse then
ordered a bait, when tbe band shot
and tben wheeled their horses, and
attempted to escape. The posse fir

succeeded iu getting away except tbe
man who was fatally hurt. The
names of the others were revealed by
the wounded man who -was captured,

At a meeting held by citizens to
day re-olutions were adopted that
active measures bo taken to briag th'
outlaws to justice. These despera

I'ietldIkU Assault
Philadelphia, August IT. A
well known aud wealthy married man,
named John L. Kates, was before a
magistrate to-day, charged with a
fiendish assault ou a Miss IVcibjr-j
tjn. It appears that Kates seduced !
her when she was about fifteen years
old, and she claims that he has held
her in a life of semi-slavery ever
siace. Recen'ly she attended a pic
nic without his permission, and when
she returned be charged her with in
fidelity, knocked her down, neat her
in a brutal manner, and tben tore all
tbe clothes off her person, and after
pouring burning fluid over her, set
fire to ter and endeavored to burn
her alive. Tbe interference of slim;
of tho peoplo in tbe bouse prevented
tbe consummation of bis design. On
Friday evening last bo whipped her
in a urutal mauuer, aud swttre that
ho would disfigure her so that she
would never bo able to go out. Great
efforts were made by iuttrcsted par
ties to keep tbe details of the afiair
froia the public. Kates was held in
