I tie State election of 1SC9, when
Perching rvn for Suprcmi Judge, he
ran 3,3? 1 behind his colleague, Tack
cr, the candidate for Governor.
W ibFcrve that Col. McClure,
who Las tbe credit, if it be one, of
leaking Pershing the Democratic
nominee, advises Lim to resign his
j:vwct judicial position, and In per-
e-ca lead the Democratic party to
i. tory. -
1 VrLing dues'nt belong to the re-
r-iguingVind. If the Democracy can
on!y carry Ohio by half ft million or
-o, perhaps Le might be coaxed into
reigning it, but until that miracle
i reur? Le ill stick.
Pioi.i.ft was placed on the Demo
cratic ticket as a bait for the Granger
vote. TLat organization is based
primarily on hostility to monopolies.
Perching ba been for many years the
attorney cf the Pennsylvania Rail
road, the worst and most exacting
monopoly ia this country, and during
Lis cniim legi!;-ve career was 6itn
ply its representative aud advocate.
Yet the Grangers, because Tiollot
belongs to their organization, arc ex
pected ta support Pershing, the paid
representative, attorney, and leader
of the legislative forces of that mon-t-poly.
I a other words, for the fake
of Laving a member of their fraterni
ty elected to a subordinate position,
they are expected to place the State
Government in the Lands of the very
enemy it was organized to oppose.
I Pn'Miivd voted tieaiDs-t a bill to'

Committee bold a large and barmo-
ioious meeting at Ilarrisburg on
Thursday last. eaiiy every coun
ty in the state was represented, and
the members gave the most encour
gaing reports of the political sitna
lion in every portion of the Common
wealth. The committee was unani
mous in the belief that all that is nec
essary to secure victory to the llepub
lican party in November, is to iu3gu
urat an active campaign and woik
together with a will fur the whole
ticket.
Cari, ScniKZ has returned from
Kurope, and having accepted the in
vitat:on of the Ohio Kepubli:nn State
Central Committee, is now tn tLe
stump iu that State against Allen
and the Democratic rag baby. Tbe
Democrats who, ten years since, pm-
ted Lira on the back, and -uug poems
to Lis integrity and independence,
because Le joined Lands with them
in the support of Greeley, are now
making ugly mouths at Lim, and
charging that he has been bought up
by the lloththilds and other bankers
in Europe to advocate hard money.
Under Democratic rub? iu Penn
sylvania the farmers aud household
ers paid $1,500,000 a year of State
tax, and the great corporations al
most escaped taxation on their vast
wealth. In 1SCC the Republican
party urged the repeal cf ail State
tax on tbe farms and homes of our
people, and the taxation ot corpora
tions in their stead. The Railway
Monopolies ordered their creatures
in the Legislature to defeat tLis just
law. In obedience to this command
CYRUS L. PERSUING, afraid to
offend the Railroads, and too coward
ly to 6iand by the farmers, ran away
from tbe llouso of Representatives
and "DODGED" tbe vote. .See

One of the encouraging signs of
the times in Pennsylvania is the
fact that, in the counties where the
Republicans were last year divided
by local quarrels, there is now no in
dication of distraction. Delaware
county, which last year elected two
Democrats to the Legislature through
a Republican split, is this year united
upon the ticket, and promises to give
1,800 majority for the State ticket.
The Eame spirit rules in Lancaster,
Crawford, Bradford and other coun
ties that have been distracted here
tofore, and there is not now, a
single county in the State in which
harmony does not prevail in the Re
publican ranks
The repeal of the charter -f the
Pittsburgh V Connellsville railioad
during the session of 1SC1, was the
grossest and most flagrant outrage
ever perpetrated by the Legislature
of this, or any other State. It was a
naked theft of a most valuable pro-
ertT. It was an lilep-al forfeiture of
a franchise on which millions of mon
ey Lad been expended, without a
shadow of excuse, or even an allega
tion of wrong on part cf the corpor
ation. It was an outrageous viola
tion of law, equity, the constitution
of the State, and of common hon
esty. It can be neitLer palliated, ex
cused, nor defended. It staads
among the statutes of the Common
wealth a damning, perpetual eiigrace
to the State and to all who partici
pated in it
Tbe history of this villainous trans
action is short and easily understood.
After many years of hostility, a cLar
ter fr this road Lad been procured,
that portion of it extending from
Pittsburgh to Connellsville had been
constructed, and after an arduous
struggle means bad been secured dur
ing the year 18C3 to complete the
work to Cumberland. At this junc
ture, and at the instance of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, a bill
was introduced into the Ix-gislature
during the session of 1?C4, absolute
ly repealing the charter of the road,
and all postponement being refused
its friends without a bearing, and
without an allegation that the com
pany bad either misused or nonused
ita corporate privileges in short
without rhyme or reason it was de
prived of its charter, and itstoek
boldera robbed of tno large amount
of money they bad invested in it.
Several jears" were lost in vasnlT at-1
tempting to induce subsequent Leg
islatures to undo this rocg, but so
thoroughly did the Pennsylvania
rotd control tbcfe bodies that all re-
, y .f VwMng is possc89d of

been possessed of cither manliness or
independence Lc would have revolted
against assisting to perpetrate this
j iniquity. But restrained by nothing,
knowing no law but tbe dictates oi
tic Pennsylvania road, his master
and owner, Lc threw conscience, hon
or, knowledge and honesty to tbe
dogs, and sustained this bill, which
no lawyer in the Commonwealth dare
say was legal or predicated in jus
tice, or no honest man will claim was
equitable or right. The people in
this section of the State fully under
stand this matter, and appreciate as
lully the character, legal and moral,
of this Democratic candidate for
Governor, but we put it to the people
of the State, is this roan honest? is
he capable? is he true to the consti
tution? or rather does not this trans
action prove him to be dishonest, in
capable, and a mere paltercr with in
tegrity, the tool and slave of others,
ready to do their bidding, even to the
-nrrifire of common honesty, and
therefore utterly unworthy of the
high position to which bo aspires.
llfv; the Democratic journals do
wriggle, and squirm, and squeal, un
der the assaults upon Pershing, and
bow suddenly they have grown con
servative and decent in their lan
guage, and Low tbey do deprecate
personal assaults upon public men,
and how earnestly they now point
cat, p.s r. orning to the Republican
press, that the gross villification and
scurrility they heaped upon Governor
Ilartranlt three years since, only re
acted and helped to swell his major
ity, and Low frankly they now ad
mit the Governor to be an unexcep
tional gentleman, and beg us to do
the Eame for Tershing. But bow sin
gularly, and signiGcally, and signally
they fail, or rather refuse to see, the
difference. Their charges agaiast
Ilartranft were mere scurrilous inven
tions, Cgments of the brain, lies from
the whole cloth, unsubstantial, un-
sustained and untrue, while we go to
the record, and prove by Lis votes.
that Pershing was a virulent copper-
bead, a political dirt eater, a tool and
representative of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Here is a difference which

private life may bo spotless and
pnre, but his political record is vile
and indefensible, and we go the coun

to be totally unworthy to be the Chief
Magistrate of this grand old Com
monwealth. "By their works shall

works of this apostle of private mor
ality, so opportunely discoverded and
so filly championed by the saintly
McClure.

A FEARFUL HURRICAN.
The following has bsen received
by business firms from correspon
dents :
On Wednesday, tbe 15th, the wind
was from eastward, voeriqg to nortb.
On Thursday morning it became
mure steady, increasing to a gale.
Tbe water was waist deep. Every
man, woman and child were seeking
a place of safety. It blew fearfully.
Tbe situation was awful. Screams
from women and children could be
heard in every direction. The water
was six feet deep in the streets.
About 3 o'clock Friday morning
tbe wind veered to northwest.
The waves then became chopped.
11
Houses were washed away or turn
bled to pieces. Tbe wind towards
morning began to lull a little. The
water was getting lower, the wind
having veered to tbe north. Then
came hope. Daylight began to break,
and then did we behold tbe awful
destruction around, and thanked our
God that we had been saved, and
that our perilous condition was as
nothing compared with the sufferings
of our neighbors and citizens along
the bay. Broad daylight revealed a
scene that was terrible to behold.
The town could not be recognized as
tbe Indianola ofthe day previous.
People were seen walking and
jumping over one gully and another.
Neighbor met neighbor and told of
the troubles and tribulation of tbe
previous oigbt. Death and destruc
tion were all around us. Houses
were cushed to the ground. Others
swayed round and leaning over.
The wind was dying out aud water
disappearing from places in the streets.
Those that could called out to learn
the news. Tbe bodies of men,
women and children were- found iu
all directions. Police and guards
were organized, and the search was
made for missing relatives and friends.
How many have lost their lives in
this fearful storm it is impossible to
learn. Up to this time sixty or sev
enty bodies have been foutid and
buried. Women were found, and men
also, who bad floated on doors, or
anything tbey could get bold of.
Some were beneath the roofs, car
ried away long distances The es
cape of so many of onr citizens is al
most marvellous. Tbe search for
bodies is still going on, and tbe num
ber of human beings drowned will
never be known, as there were a
large number of strangers in town.
We estimate tbe number of lives
lost at one hundred and fifty. II. J.
II uck lost everything but his house,
Eighteen bodies were found yester
day, and tbe search will be continued
until all the dead are deposited in
their last resting place. You cannot
imagine the extent of tLe disaster.
Nothing short of its full details will
give it proper knowledge. Numbers
of persons were oat on rafts for hours,
but in many cases were not saved.
Wm. Taylor, on trial for the Sutten
murder, was let out ofjail to prevent
his being drowned, and made bis es
cape. AU the churches in the town
are swept away. The Court House
is safe. One hundred and fifty five
persons, Capt Sam Brown and two
of his family, were saved. Tbey
took refuge ia the lighthouse and
were thereby saved. Brown is now
tbe only surviving pilot at the Pass.

A Horrible 3Inrdr.
CixcixxATr, September 23. A
Bellefontaine, Ohio, special says:
Yesterday Miss Laughlin, a yt ung
lady aged sixteen, accompanied a
oiiQ named Sebell and wife in an
excursion to tbe. reservoir, severs
miles distant. Mrs. Schell. being la
ligucd, was left with tho team, aud
Schell with the young lady started
after wild plums. Schell returned
without Miss Laughlin, stating that
she bad strayed from Lim and he
could not find ber. An alarm was
given and search made, resulting in
finding tbe body of tbe young lady
this forenoon nearly nude, ber throat
cut from ear to ear, and the grass
showing that a desperate struggle
had occurred. Schell was not ar
rested until this afternoon, and upon
examination a bloody knife was found
in bis pocket. Ho is now under ar
rest with a heavy guard around
bim to protect him from the excited
people.
Cincinnati, September 24. A
Belletontaiue special says Mrs. Schell,
wif of tbe man arrested yesterday
for tbe murder of Miss Laughlin,
was arrested to-day aud testified be
fore the Coroner that her hunband
had told her that he inteodeel to rav
ish MisS Laughliu and kill ber after
wards; that there riiie on Thursday
was planned for that purpose, anil
that her husband threatened to kill
her if she followed him when be
went into tbe bushes with Miss
Laughlin. Sho says ho returned in
about two hours, stating that Miss
Laughlin fought so bard Le did not
Mieeeed in ravishing her, although
after he had stabbed her she said,
"Don't kill me, Jim; I won't resist
any more," but be feared she would
tell, and so killed ber, threatening
also to kill his wife if she- tub! of it.
Mrs. Schell also testified to other
t ri nes coiumittedby I er hu ban I. Tl a
affair causes tbe most iuieiis excite
ment. Business is suspeuded, and il
is reported several hundred citizens
of the surrounding country are com
ing into Bellefontaine to-uight deter
mined to lynch Schell. Many wagon-loads
have already arrived. The
Sheriff has summoned a strong pusse,
who are guarding tho jail, but trou-.

SCIIELt LYNCHED.
Cincinnati, September 24.
About lb roe hundred men attacked
tbe jail at Bellefontaine, Ohio, about
half past 12 o'clock to-nigbt, batter
ed down the doors, drugged Sebell
out and hung bim to a tree. Tbe
guard made no resistance. Schell
protested his innocence of the crime.
The Texas Cyclone.
Cincinnati, O., Septemler 23. A
special Southern despatch to tbe
Times says parties who arrived from
Indianola last night, and who were
there during the terrible cyclone, ful
ly confirm even tbe most sensational
report of the destruction of life and
property there.
Out of three hundred bouses only
Gve are left standing. During Thurs
day night, while the storm was at its
height, the water in the city rose
over six feet in two hours, the wind
blowing eighty eight miles an hour,
driving the water and breakers
through the city at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour, sweeping everything
in its way, and covering tbe plain iu
the rear of the city for ten miles to a
depth of several feet.
Several small settlements, number
ing a total population of one hundred
and fifty, were also swept out of ex
istence, making with two hundred
and fifty lost at Indianola, a total of
four hundred lives lost.
The gentlemen convening this in
formation gave a most harrowiug
account of the destitution of tbe sur
vivors. When tbey left Iudianola
on Monday afternoon uincty bodies
bad been recovered. The stench in
the city from the putrefaction of
these bodies and with tbe stench
from dead animals was almost intol
erable. It is also stated that a party of
Mexicans on Suuday beau robbing
the dead bodies washed to the plain,
four to bix miles back of the city.
The scoundrels chopped fingers,
hands and ears from men and womeu
to obtain jewelry. As soon as this
was heard of in tLe city a party of
citizens went out and killed five
Mexicans whom they caught at the
devilish work.
Horrible Murder.
Loi'isyille, September 25. Ja
cob Reiilcr committed a horrible
crime in New Albany this morning,
murdering bis wife, cutting his owo
throat and firing the house. He
came home the night previous des
perate from drink, forced his way to
his wife's presence, and then com
menced his crimes. Reitler Grstbeat
his wife until her screams attracted
tbe attention of the neighbors, then
he tied her neck to stifle her cries, and
succeeding in this, beat her several
hours with an iron instrument until
ber head was mashed to a jelly.
Five holes were made in her skull,
and ber face was fearfully mutilated,
af er which be set fire to the house,
leaving the body of bis wife to be
cremated by fire. Reitler concealed
himself in a chicken coop in tbe yard
of bis residence, and watched the
flames devour tbe house, and never
moved until after the body of bis
wife was taken out. Her flesh was
burn; to a crisp in many places, and
the body presented a most horrible
appearance. As t was being re
moved Reitler cut his own throat,
severing tbe windpipe and inflicting
a wound from which be may die any
moment.

Perahlatar's Copperhead laan Expmed.
The Pottsviile Chronicle baa dar
ed to attempt to defend Pershing
fr, nil the charts of onnnaitinn tilth'
iroui me coarge oi opposition to ine
War measures deemed essential tO the
overthrow of the rebellion. And its
temerity leads it on to say, "there is
no such record; there was no such
resolution" (as one censuring Lin
coln for issuing tbe emancipation
proclamation) "offered in tbe House
cf Representatives." Now let us
see if there was not. On page 88G
of tbe LegUlatiee Record, of 18G3,
we find the following: "Agreeably
to order the House resumed the con
sideration of the following joint res
olutions on the 6tate of the country;"
"Resolved by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
ueneral Assembly met."
"Fourth. That this General As
sembly, iu the exercise of its right to
diuer with the federal Executive,
enters its solemn protest against the
proclamation of tbe President of tbe
United States, dated tbe first day of
January, one thousauu eight bun
dred and sixty -three, bj which he as
sunfes to emancipate slaves in certain
States, holding the same to be un-lrMr-,
unconstitutional and VOID."
Tbe previous question having been
called on a proposition by Mr. Jack
son, of Sullivan, to go into commit
tee for tbe purpose of special amend
meat, the Speaker said, "Shall tbe
main Question now be put?" Tbe
yeas and navs were required by Mr.
Benedict and .Mr. Harvey, and were:
Yeas, 50, nays 44. Pershing voting
yea (see Legislative Record 1503,

the resolutious, as amended, "tho
yeas and nays were demanded by
Messrs. Vincent and Cbauipoeys,"
and were yes 53 nays 3. The Re
publicans, save three, abstaining from
voting (Ibid page 887 )
And now won't the copperhead
p'ess please deny our assertion that
Pershing "dodged" the vote when
the bill relieving the farm r of Tenn
rylvuuia from State tax, aud puttiuir
a fair proportion of the burdens of
ttxationou corporations, was passed
at the instance of the Republican
party and in opposition to Persbinsr's

Bkllefontaine, O., September 25.
Schell, the murderer of Allie
Laughlin, was buried this afternoon
from tbe Court House, where he had
been lakea after he was cut down
last night. Hundreds of people went
to look at him tu-duy. He was haul
ed to the Poiter's Field iu an ordina

which he was hung is literally cut to
piece's by curiosity-hunters ; also the
rope aud tbe box be stood on with
the fatal noose around bis neck were
cut up iu!o inch pieces. ScbelPs
wife was brought here to-day and
lodged in jail as an accomplice. She
refused 10 look at his body. Siuce
her confession to being privy to bis
intention of murdering this young
lady and ber mother, and of bis burn
ing Mr. Laughlin's house, people
have become very much incensed
against ber. It was reported at one
time to-day, before she was. brought
here and lodged in jail, that tbe wo
men would certainly lynch her. She
is considered by many to be equally
guilty with her husband, many believ
ing that she assisted bim.
