Is Wisconsin whose twenty tow
were confidently claimed for Blaine,
be gets eix, and one or two of tbese
are said tt be doubtful.
Col Thomas A. Scott, owing to
continued ill health, has resigned tbe
Presidency of tbe Pennsylvania Rail
road. Mr. George B. Roberts Cray
Vice President has been selected to
fill the vacancy.
TnE total coinage of tbe Mint dur
ing tbe month of April was some
thing orcr nine millions. Of ibis
amount over seven millions was in
gold, and over two millions in silver.
Tue bill to appropriate funds to
carry on the Tost Office Department
for tbe coming fiscal year was re
ported by tbe House committee last
vapIc It sets aside tit sum of
$38,t 75,420 for this purpose.

It is said that both parties in
ConpTess favor an adjournment ly
tbe first f June. The members be
ing anxious to get home to look after
re-nomination and take part in the
canvass. Tbcy can if tbey will, but
we doubt if to early en adjournment
will take place.
The public debt was reduced dur
ing the month of April over twelve
million dollars. This wonderful re
duction proves how strong are tbe
financial resources of the country,
and how ably they are managed by
Secretary Sherman.
Busixees men ehosld re-fays to
receive in change mutilated silver
coin. They will find if they have
any business with tbe Tost Office or
Treasury Departments that it will be
refused. Petty thieves are engaged
in clipping end punching tbe ccin for
the small amounts they can steal in
this way.
A kiuef period since, tbe Blaine
boomers were turning up their noses
at the idea of General Grant being
supported by delegates from Soathern
States that could not throw their
electoral vote (or bim in case of his
nomination. We observe, however,
that tbey exult mightily whenever
they receive the assurance that a
Southern delegate will support their
favorite.
It is very important for Republic
ans to bear ia mind that, as the Dem
ocratic faction in this State patched
up a truce at the Harrisburg Con
vention and will present an unbroken
front ia the coming campaign, that it
is essential that there should be
harmony in our ranks if we wish to
carry Pennsylvania for the Chicago
nominee.
Til eke has been large amount
of prefuactory boasting that Mary
land was a sure and fast Blaine
State, yet at the convention held last
week the Baltimore American (a
bitter anti Grant paper) admits, that
only three of the delegates elected
caa be safely counted for . Blaine,
while the other thirteen are reported
to stand 10 for Grant and 3 for Sher
man. As is usual the Blaine boom
ers attribute their defeat to fraud.
There is going to be an immense
vote polled in this district according
to the figures of the Altoona Tribune.
That journal modestly asserts that
nineteen-twenlietbs of tbe Republic
ans are for Blaine. Now as accord
ing to the other . Tribune published
ia New York, one-half of the Somer
set County .Republicans (say 1C00)
are for Grant, tbe boy with a elate
can discover that if these I COO alone,
are but one-twentieth of the whole,
that there is going to be some tall
roting done ia this district, or else
figures or journals lie.
The poor fools that assailed Wash
ington and accused him of monarch
ical designs; the shallow-pates who
opened fire on Abraham Lincoln and
pronounced him an incapable, have
been covered by the merciful and
charitable blanket of oblivion, except
here and there where a name is re
membered to be despised ; but these
detractors, the witless offspring of
the times, were philosophers beside
the stultified Republicans of to-day,
who, enable to deay that Grant is the
foremost man of the country, firm,
unimpeachable aad spotless, tbe man,
who under God saved tbe Union,
unimpaired, still proclaim that bis
reelection to the Presidency is
"dangerous to the interests of the
party," and implore those icho lece
their country to resist it
I r is understood that if General
Grant gets the solid vote of tbo 111
iaAe, delegation at Chicago, bis
Domination is assured. The most
desperate efforts have therefore been
maae cy uj uiaiae boomers to pre
vent this result, and other means
failing, an attempt was made last
week to scare the voters of Illinois
into a surrender of their convictions.
by the assertion that all hopes of
Grant's nomination were destroyed
by a break in the New York and
Pennsylvania delegations, . a, large
portion ot the members of - each hav-
inr declared their determination not
to vote for Grant under any circum
stances. It is needless to say that
all these stories come not from Phila
delphia and New York, but from
Washington, and they are the coin
age of the Blaice literary bureau
established at the capital to do pre
cisely this kind of work.
TnE Blaioe-Club-KoonU meeting
among other things Resolved that the
nomination of General Grant would
be "distasteful" and damjerous to the
interests of (he parti and cajjed tip
on the chairman cf the State tnd Na
tional Committees as tbey love their
vjuntry and thr Republican atty
not to urge it, and then ia the next
breath a pledge was given to support
General Grant if nominated at Chi
cago. II ere is consistency as is consist
ency ! ! Here is patriotism of the
penny a pound stamp. Here is po
litical wisdom in solid chunks. The
nomination of General Grant would
be dangerous to the country and to
the party, and yet these gentlemen
who so love the country and the
party will let both go to the dogs
and support this dangerous man. It
strikes us these gentlemen do protest
too much.
It is well enough to remind those
professed friends of the Senator from
Maine who think they are advancing
his chance for the Presidency by de
nouncing or belitUoing the firmer
adminstration of General Grant, of
what the 'Tlumed Knight" said of
the ex-President ia a speech made by
him in Chicago, October 15, 1S72.
Now, my friends, I don't stanl up
here to defend the administration cf
General Grant General Grant's ad
ministration points to 1-cis, and to its
acts, not to its professions. It points
you to four years ot magnificent
prosperity : it poiats you to peace,
utid respectability abroad, and to
op with all nations of the earth ;
it points yon to a higher standard ofl
diplomacy than basever oeen Known,
with more brilliant results loan wiu
the cannon and sword ; it points you
to a domestic policy and a foreign
policy animated by the highest Chris
tian principle known to men ; it pre
sents, in otber words, a "moddle of an
American administration."
The same men who are now de
claring that the Republican cause is
hopeless in rvery State of the South,
cried, just as loud, the same thing in
18G. They thought Chandler a fool
for wasting time ia a caavass of the
South. And yet with a candidate
almost unknown to them, and excit
ing no enthusiasm for what he had
accomplished, the Republicans of the
South nobly responded. Without
their aid the Republican President
would aot have been elected or seat
ed ia the White House. The con
tempt with which certain pretended
organs of the party in the North
speak of the Southern Republicans,
and their constant efforts to work up
a sentiment that they should be dis
franchised, or. at least, allowed no
active voice ia the nominating con
vention, is coctemntiblv mean. The
- , 4
idea of stifling tbe voice of mea whoi
through evil aad good report, with
danger surrounding them oa every
Bide, have stood firm for the Repub
lican cause, is something which will
not be tolerated for one moment wbea
the honest voice of the Republican
party finds expression.
No one will deny that a large aad
respectable portion of Republicans ia
this county favor tbe nomination of
General Grant Their voice was not
heard in the Stats Convention
Why? Because ia the county meet
ing that selected delegates to the
Convention the Blaine men secured
the three delegates and stood ready
to instruct them if necessary.
In the State Conveatioa by a vote
of 151 to 95, the delegates to Chica
go were instructed to vote for Grant,
and the Blaine boomstcrs from that
dav to this have labored to ijduce
delegates to violate instructions.
That the majority shall rule is an
inviolate principle of the party. The
Grant mea of this couaty submitted
to the action that scat Blaine dele
gates to the State Convention, be
cause the Blaine men were ia the
majority and controlled the meeting,
and now these same men who control!'
ed the connty meeting and appointed
the delegates and were ready to in
struct tb;m if cccessarv, refuse to
abide by tbe action of the State Con
vention where they were ia the mi
nority, and insist that tbe instructions
are not binding. This is a violation
of both principle and fairness, and
the politicians sustaining it will, un
less we are very much mistaken,
live to see the day when tbey will
regret their actioa. Refuse to recog
nize me majority raie, ana wuat ate
your countv nominations worth?
The candidate who at primarj elec
tioa receives majority of one vote is
declared nominated, and the votes of
tbe minority count for nothing. Teach
voters that it is wrong to submit to the
majority of one, and yon utterly de
stroy our entire system of making
nominations, and yet that is precise
ly what the ring that engineered the
late Blaine county meetiag ere doing
We learn from tbe Bedford papers
that the Chairman of the Republican
County Committee of that County, in
fixing the time for the election for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
convention to nominate a couaty
ticket, names May 22 as the day aad
adds:
There will xUttUr submittal U the County Con
nation Uteqoeruonvl InMrucUor. onr delegates

This is all regular, and done in ac
cord we .presume,, with tbe rules of
the party. Bat should tbe Repub
licans of Bedford, determine that it
ia expedient to elect new delegates to
Chicago, and select conferees for tbe
purpose of nominating them, we are
ja6t little curious to know whether
they will recognize Messrs." JUcKin.
ley, Bsrnes and Frease, the conferees
selected by the Blaine-C'lub-Koomz
meeting lately held ia this place
The Bedford conferees if appointed,
will be regulars, accredited to the
conference by official credentials; the
Somerset conferees will have no sign
of regularity, tk?y are illigetimates,
b?gotten acd born outside the pale of
party sanctity, and cannot be regu
larly vouched far or accredited. Caa
the Bedford mea impugn their own
regularity and legitimacy by coafer
icg with them as equals, and thus
eanctiodag the bah ia this county
of wbicli tbey a'e the product? And
if they do, do thy not thereby affix
the Etigraa of h.-egolarity upon any
delegates they ny appoint, aad by
this very act, bar their admission to
any Convention claiming the seal of
regularity ?
We will see hat we will see, but
we suggest to oar JJedfurd Iriends
that harmony cannot be preserv
ed in a district, if the regular Re
publicans in one couaty recognize,
endorse or encourage kickers in an
other. Senator Oakling; Confident flea.
Grant's Somlnattoo and Election.
New York, May 1 The Herald
prints the following interview with
Senator Conkling, received from its
Washington correspondent :
j What do you think, Senator, of
the Republican Presidential outlook ?
A. That General Grant will be
nominated by tbe people and elected
by the people and by a great major
ity. J. W by do you say by the people
won't tbe Republican party nom
inate him ? A. Yes, but I say by the
people, for tbe reason nothing has
been done for General Grant; every
thing has been done and is being
done against him. I say nothing has
been done for General Grant, because
no committee, no combination, no
bureau, no patronage, no money has
been enlisted for him, but all ibese
have been arrayed agaiust, him, with
a syBtemized and arranged combina
tion ot many newspapers bet-ides.
The sole support General Grant
has rebeived has come from Eponta
neoua judgment and action. The
commou eeii-e of men with no pur
pose save the success of the Repub
lican party and tbe safety of tbe coun
try, has espoused General Grant.
If anything else has supported him
do not knov it Many persons
write to me to know where they can
get a Grant document Sore enough
where are they r Not a document or
circular has ever been printed lor
Grant that 1 have heard of; not a
clerk has been employed even to write
a letter for him. Anv other candidate
would have been buried out of sight
by this time. Tbe strength ot Geo
Grant and his hold oa the regard, and
confidence of tbe country has never
shown more conspicuously thaa in
the fact that, pummelled and buffetted
oa every 6ide, not only by the whole
Democratic press, but by tbo nnbeard
of instrumentalities which have been
resorted to by his compeditors, yet
without organized effort tor him, he
distances tbe whole field. No otber
man ia either party could have sur
vived such a constant concentrated
fire. A few months ago no man
could wink so hard as not to see that
ia a national convention of Republi
cans held thea no came would be se
riously convaseed.
So far as any change has been pro
duced, what has caused it and what
does it show ? The condition of the
country and the perils of the future
are all tbe same. General Grant is
tbe same, his competitors are tbe
same. What, then, has caused anv
doubt or division of sentiment now
which did not exist then? Nothing
but tbe enormous activities and per
suasions, combinations, machinery
and push which have been pot to
work to get up tbe couater sentiment.
Had every caadidate done only as
Grant has done aad left the office to
seek him, do von think you would
care to ask any man what tbe Chica
go conventioa would probably do "
Why, the questioa would be settled
now as clearly as it win atter tne
coavention adjourns. The whole
question, if any question remains,
is whether official power or patronage
electioneenng politicians and money
can prevail against tbe conviction
and conscience of an overwhelming
majority of thoughtful, earnest .Re
publicans. The prevailing idea of tbe
convass against General Grant is
most extraordinary. It is little less
than menace not to support him it a
majority see fit to nominate him
Tbe party which allows itBelf to be
bullied by a minority deserves the
fate of a goverment which allows
itself to be bullied by a mob. Neither
deeervt8 to live aad neither will
live.
Q Caa Gca. Grant carrv New
York ? A. Ia my belief, without a
doubt and by a larger majority than
any other man could obtaia.
O Can he carry any southern
state ? A. I believe be can, and my
advices on this point are tbe greatest
marvel cf tbe canvass. After the
south wag made solid and the Re
publicans there abandoned and tram
pled upon it seemed impossible tor
any Republican to receive a majority
or to have it counted ia any southern
state ; but men not likely to be deceiv-
ee in at least four southern states now
describe a condition of things there
which gives me great confidence that
General Grant will receive a majority
vote and a vote backed by a deter
mination which will make it bard to
choke or vitiate the count in several
southern states.
(J Then you feel sure of Grant's
success at the conveatioa and at tbe
polls? A. I have not a donbtof bis
triumphant election, and I feel just as
sure of his nomination as I do of tbe
courage and common sense of tbe Re
publican party, and I never doubt
these.

orm WASHIXGTOS LETTER.
Frj:n onr Regular Correspondent.)
V. Wasiiixgion, May is, 1SS0.
West Point just now in the Senate
of the United StatcB is getting bandied
without gloves. Senator Burnside
speaking the other day on a bill re
quiring the President to appoint two
colored cadets annually to that in
stitution 13 the theme f jr debate.
General Burnside, himself a graduate
of West Point acd at all times the
formost friend of the iosution declar
ed ia - carefally prepared speech
"that in his opinion it is tbe duty of
Congress to see that no class of bene
ficiaries ot the Government are allow
ed to abuse another class of benefi
ciaries, and if it is found to be impos
sible to make West Point a National
Institution ia which all classes of
Americaa citizens shall receive equal
treatment, that it is the duty cf Con
gress to strike it out of existence."
This opinioa is becoming pretty
general in and out of Congrese, under
the effect of the Whittaker outrage and
the spirit exbibiud at the academy in
connection with tbe investigation of
that occurrence. Probably it would
be none tbe worse for tbe military
service, if this affair should result, in
abolishing that .aristocratic lastitu
tution and causing the development
of a system of promotion from the
ranks, such a system .would draw
into tbe army a much better class of
private soldiers than now till it and
would greatly improve its morals by
tbe stimulus it would affcrd to tbe
soldier's ambition. It would narrow
the chasm that now divides the officer
from the private, and this in such a
mauner as to strengthen rather than
weaken the legitimate authority of
the former, 6ince tbe soldier himstlf
would feel interested in maintaining
a first and necessary authority which
be might some day be called upon to
exercise.
The necessity of serving in the
ranks before attaining command
would possibly reduce tbe number of
aspirants to military honors, but ia a
aatioa of fifty million people tbe en
forcement of this condition would
hardly occasion any difficulty in the
proper officering of a little army of
25,000 men, or in building up besides
aa admirably qualified reserve from
which to draw the necessary olucers
for aa army of volunteers.
West Point is not a necessity and
should be abolished.
Senator Ferry, of Michigan, at the

and adds that under tbe law requir

such balances of tbese funds so con

OIL EEGIOXS.
Bradford Pa., May C. Today
will long be remembered i i this re
gion for tbe terrible aisasu-r thai barf
befallen our people, in terror that
has takea p .sessicu of whole towns
aad cities, and the extreme ties. huiion
tbat baa ,-vith hardly a tnorutnt? war.
niag, fallen upon families that, were
yesterday well-to' do ia this world's
foods, with their futures apparently
secure from ail danger of privation.
A more dramatic or sensational strv
tbe most vivid writer of ficii jn could
not have portrayed. Tbe intense
horror tbat has been experienced by
hundreds of people ia this county to
day, tbe terrible terror ihet they have
experienced ia fleeing for tbeir liver
before an avalanche of fire can better
be imagined than described Bulwer,
in tbe closing chapters of thai beau
tiful novel, "The Last Dys of Pom
peii," described scenes that were no
more thrilling aad terrible, tav for
tbe immense loss of life, than were
witnessed in this county to day. Tee
avalaacbe of lava pouring witb
mighty force from Mount Visuvius
upon the devoted towns of the beau
tiful valley of Naples was not more to
be dreaded more than the terrible
rivers of burning oil tbat have bsou
sweeping through tbe forresis ot
Bradford county to-day, wiping out
of existence whole towns ia their fiery
progress.
THE BECIIXNINa OF THE DISASTER
The terrible calamity origiuaied ia
this maouer. Early tbis afternoon
two workmen were busily engaged
ia torpedoing an oil well oa tbe Bur
den lands, whon suddea!y without a
note of warning flames burst forth
from the well, throwing the torpedo
directly into the derrick, where it
burst witb a very luuJ detonation,
throwing sparks and buraiug spliuters
in every direction. It was aa awful
moment. Ia less time than it takes
to tell it the oil caught fire and burst
forth from tbe well, one iuimeaee
mass of crawling, seething flames,
furious and fierce in its on ard course,
traveling over tba grounl with mst
frightful rapidity, swiftly communi
cating tbe flames to everything with
which it came ia contact. Ia a fev
moments it becimn apparent that, the
whole community was ia the msi
deadly peril, for as the burning oil
was fanned by tha strong wiud that
was blowing at the time; it rapidly
assumed tbe demensions of
A MIGHTY RIVEa OF FIRE,
remorseless ia its activity, and as
vengeful as the devil as it went pass
ing down through tbe woods, set
ting the trees on Gre and destroying
everything as it beaded ia the direc
tion of Rew City. Tbe ground was
completely covered with burning oi!
in every direction and withia aa hour
every well and tack within two miles
around were destroyed and their con
tents were added to the devasting
stream tbat was now fanning wiib its
fiery breath, as it eagerly reached
out its scorching tongue toward tbe
devoted (town of Rew City. Oae
hundred and fifty oil wells ia all were
destroyed before tbe fire fiead cast
bis glowing mantle over tbat unfor
tunate town. Tbe inhabitants per
ceiving that all hope ot saving their
household goods was useless,
FLED FOB THEIR LIVE',
striking the windward of tho course
along which tbe fiery torrent was ad
vancing. Horsemen at lightning
speed were riding down the valley
calling to the residents of the detach
ed bouses to depart for their lives
before tbe Gre should bo upon them.
It resembled the scene in Mat-sacbu
setts when tbe immense reservoirs
near Northanptoa broke loose, only
tbis lime a still more terrible flood
tbaa one of water was engulfing tbe
land. Every thing was lefc behind
in the flight of tbe inhabitants. Chil
dren were snatched from tbeir cradles
and breakfast tables left stand with
tbe meal prepared, but untouch
The moment the fire waves struck
Rew City, involving its every street,
THE SCENE WAS GRAND
bevond description. Tbe heavens
were canopied witb heavy clouds of
smoke, completely shutting oat the
bright sunlight, while the lurid glare
of the flames beneath, the crackling of
the burning bouses and tbe cries f
tbe termed people falling upon the
eyes and tbe ear strained to the ut
most tentioa by the excitement of tbe
moment gave the beholders aa im
pression never to be forgotton while
life lasts. It W8S an awful spectacle,
far beyond tbe feeble powers of de
scription. LIVES LOST.
Among these terrible scuqc-) the
knowledge that there were womea
and children missing who had been
unable to leave their homes ia time,
awakened the tenderest sympathysof
all and caused many a shudder to
run through the frames of those who
escaped. It is feared tbat two wemea
and four children fell victims to the
flames. Suffocated by tbe smoke
they doubtless fell insem-ible while
trying to escape, and their euueriug
was ended before the flames licked up
tbeir flesh and made aebes of their
frames. The people are scattered
broadcast throughout the woods,
without food or shelter, and it is not
known bow maov are lost. After
leaving Rew City wkhout a house
standing and with
SIX HUNDRED PEOPLE HOMELESS,
the Gre swept oa through tbe timber
lands, gaining impetus frum uew oil
wells, whose contents it licked up
and added to its volume, towards
Coleville aid Bordell, sevejal miles
away. If tbe wind does not change
before morning Coleville will be safe
and it is thouirh the Gre wilt have
subsided before Bordell can be reach
td.
ANOTHER FIUE STARTED.
At Gilmore, on the line of the O
lean, Bradford and Warren Railroad,
and in a other part of tbe famous
Brae ford oil Geld, a well was ignited
by a spark of a lOcamotive at about
one o'clock today. A high wind
drove tbe streams of burning oil up
tbe Fosterbrook valley to Red Rock
and over tbe hills toward Duke Cen
tre. The whole country was soon
enveloped ia one mass of flames and
tbe reign of terror begaa afres fa that
part of the county. People fled for
saftty to the windward ct tbe burn
ing oil. witb terror-stricken faces and
blanched lips, looking on tbe sad but
terrible spectacle, while tbey saw
their homes swept away before tbeir
very eyes, andbundreds of thousands
of dollars wonh of property trans
formed into so much smke ia a very
short epsce of time. Huge tanks full
of oil
