Kacffmas has teen ap-j pointed Internal Revenue Collector j at Lancaster, in place of Thomas A. j y lie, removed. J Official figures show that up to j the 22d of last mnth there were 45,000 post offices in the United States. The increase during the' last month was 250 offices. Every niem'ier of tlie present Legislature of Alabama is a Demo crat. This shows a most singular unanimity of political sentiment, or that Democratic election officers are very skillful counters of ballots. Col. Dick, of Crawford county, who is a much talked of candidate for Congressman-at-Large before the coming State Conventicn, failed to secure the delegates from his own county last week which is bad for I)icl- The Legislature of Nebraska will meet in extra session on the 10th of this month, for the purpose of re districting the State. The State has now only one member of Congress, and the new apportionment gives it three. ' The election cases being tried in South Carolina do not pan out very well. Public sentiment influences the juries and controls their verdicts. It is established, however, that fraud and terrorism have been the main instruments of Democratic victories in that State. Driiixi; the year 1SS1 there was landed in this country 720,045 for eign crpigrants. The arrivals so far during this year are over fifty per cent, greater than in 1SS1, and indi cate an immigration this year amounting to 1,175,000 people. This country has truly -become the refuge of all nations. The question of the admission of Dakota as a State has become a mere party one, the Democrats op posing it for no better reason than because it would add two more Re publican Senators, thus changing the political complexion of that body, and add a Republican State to the electoral vote for the next President The election in Pennsylvania this fall is for a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal Af fairs, Justice of the Supreme Court, twenty-five State Senators for four years, two hundred and one mem bers of the Assembly for two years, twenty-seven members of Congress, and important local officers in every county. General Baily, SLite Treasurer- fleet, has announced the following named persons as his selections for the various positions in the Treas ury Department: Cashier, Captain A. ('. Xutt, Uniontown, Fayette county; Approval Clerk, II. C. Greenwalt, Franklin county ; Coun ty Clerk, John S. Holmes, Pitts burgh; Appropriation Clerk, John E. Stott, Chester county ; Messenger, George A. Cornelius. Philadelphia; Watchman, E. II. Stackpolc, Mifflin county ; Fireman, George A. Smith, Lancaster. Ox Friday last the principal offi cers of the National Guard of Penn eylvation, met at Lewistown and made the final arrangements for the holding of the grand encampment The announcement heretofore made that the encampment would com mence on the lVth of August, was reconsidered in consequence of the Juniata Valley camp meeting having previously fixed upon the lfith of that month for its commencement, and Saturday, August 5th, substitu ted, on which day the troops will tike the positions assigned them. The Democratic party scarcely knows what to howl about Wat terson says free trade, Voorhees 6ays tariff, and Facific coast Democrats say Chinese expulsion is the great plank of the coming platform. It really seems as if there is but one plank upon which the masses of the party can tread firmly, and that is free whisky. The Republicans have made the country prosperous and rich, and given such stability to every enterprise and established such wise systems in all financial matters as to be beyond the reach of the criticisms of mere politicians. Just what better could be expected from a Democratic administration is difficult to see. The dangers of such a change no reasonable and thinking man will doubt It will bo remembered that one Ilallet Kilbourne, who was a wit ness before an investigating com mittee of Congress, in 1S76, refused to produce certain books demanded by the Committee, and was adjudg es! to be in yntempt and ordered into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Anns and held in custody for forty five days. After his dieehargc by the court, on a writ otLab&u rttrput, he brought an action for false im prisonment agitinst John G. Thomp son, the Sergcmt-at-Arms, which case was decided laet week by a verdict of $103,000 in favor of Kil bourne against Thompson. Jf the verdict stands good, Congress wul in common fairness have to appropri ate a f um of money to indemnify Thomrson, who, ns its officer, aim j ply obeyed instructions. It is now reported that a new morning daily Republican paper is to be started in Philadelphia uhortly, with Secretary Quay as its editor-in-chief. The , Time and other shillyshally political journals are very much disgruntled -at the pros pect of hating an out and out Re publican paper to contend with, and are wasting their wit and sarcasm on the project. Col. Quay is an old journalist and a clear and vigorous writer, and as the new paper will be backed by abundant capital, the milk and molasses fellows are trem bling in advance of its advent Dcbixg the late war it was fre quently declared by Republican journals that the time would come when the Nonhern Democrats would claim that their party had all favor ed a vigorous policy for the suppres sion of the rebellion. For years past this prediction has been fre quently verified, but never so signal ly as when in the House on Monday of last week Democratic members speaking for themselves and their constituents, actually claimed to have done the greater part of the work in putting down the rebellion. In this ridiculous assertion they re ceived aid and comfort from ex Governor Andy Curtin now a Dem ocratic member of Congress who declared that the Democrats had been as loyal as the Republicans during the war, and that all had been loyal in Pennsylvania ; but the ex-Governor was suddenly brought to grief by Erumm, of Schuylkill, asking him whether he hpd not sent troops into Schuylkill county in 1SG3 to put down the "Fishing Creek Rebellion," -.l Mr. Miller reminding him tlt when Lee's army was invading Pennsylvania, a Democratic convention then in session in Harrisburg, was declaring the war a failure and advising a cessation of hostilities on apy terms. This is not the first time that Cur- tin's defective memory has got him into hot water, and he suddenly subsided while a smile of contempt was on every manly face. Of course such discussions are unprofitable now, but is well that truth should be vindicated occasionally. W. W. Kerr, Esq., a Democratic lawyer of Philadelphia, was employ ed by Attorney General Brewster and sent to South Carolina to help try the election cases in that State. After several weeks' sojourn in Charleston in the discharge of his duty Mr. Kerr has returned to Phil adelphia, utterly disgusted with the ways of his Southern brethren. Mr. Kerr claims that he has been a Democrat all his life and is one yet, but thinks that if the condition of affairs he found existing in South Carolina extends throughout the South, that it is time the North un derstands that the embers of rebel lion still smoulder in the Southern heart He says that it is impossible to obtain a fair trial of any political cases in that State owing to the ob stacles placed in the way by the State and other local authorities. Because he did his duty and dared to insist that a Democrat who was caught stuffing a ballot box should be punished like any other rascal he was grossly insulted, and the windows of the hotel where he was fctaying were smashed in the night time by a mob. He says there are nearly one hundred cases of fraud at the polls .still to le tried, and " from the evidence there should be "convictions in all of them." He makes this public profession of his change of faith : " When I was first summoned to South Carolina I " did not believe in the stories told "about ballot-box stuffing, but after "carefully examining the evidence " I was satisfied that the public did " not know half the truth. I am a "Democrat and a firm believer in "Democratic principles, but I can u not see how we are to be benefitted " or be successful if we are to coun " tenance iverjury and crime carried "on under the pretence of aiding "the Democratic party." It has been customary for Democratic newspapers to charge that the state ments of fraud and intimidation of Republican voters at the elections in the South were all manufactured, and their narty friends in Congress are to-day voting in favor of retain ing in their seats members who have no claim to them other than they obtained them through fraud, and hold them because the courts are powerless to punish the wrongs done. In the face of the testimony of Mr. Kerr, a lawyer of high char acter and a Democrat of the stricte6t'i sect we feel somewhat curiou to see what answer the Democratic press has to make. GLKAXIXGfi. Every man who has a personal grievance in politics endeavors to vault into popular favor by striving to prove that partisanship means corruption, when, if the truth were kuown, it could be shown that such men became agrieved because they j failed or were thwarted in some vilely laid partisan plan. A deputy Sheriff of Americus, Ga., seized a man's mule for taxes the other day. The man, whose name was Mansion, offered to lead the mule alongside a fence so that the official could mount him easi'y. After this feat was accomplish!, i Mansion tickled the mule with a! smw. ana toe result was a mmia-' ture earthquake. The mule threw the Sheriff and ticked him seven - . .. . .

You won't Fee bim make many mistakes, and our folks will have to get up early in the morning to beat him if he is the Republican candi date for Use Presidencv in 1884." The prosecutions for violations of the election law in South Carolina develop some startling f;icts with regard to the conduct of the Demo crats in that State lxt election. In Barnwell county, for instance, a large body of armed and mounted Democrats encamped neur the poll ing place durihii the night preceding the election, and on the morning of election day, thoroughly armed and with the Confederate flag in their midst surrounded the poll, and prr vented colored men from voting. And yet one Democrat on the jury which tried the leaders of this out rage stubbornly refused to agree to a verdict of guilty, and the case had to be dismissed. The Democrats of Indiana are up to some of the regulation Democrat ic tricks again this year. In the place of a well-defined party policy they are seeking to utilize the tem perance question, which is more or less agitating the State. An effort is made to crowd the question into the canvass as a means of injuring the Republicans, and meantime the Liquor Dealers' Association have bargained with the Democrats that the prohibition amendment to the Constitution shall not be submitted to the people by the Legislature. Ex-Governor Hendricks, in a recent speech at Indianapolis, took decided ground against the submission of a prohibitory amendment to the peo ple. He argued that the temper ance qnestion had not been an issue in the canvass when the present Legislature was elected, and said that the Democratic party would vigorously oppose the amendment Some of the newspapers express surprise at the behavior of certain members of the Kentucky State Senate the other day, who, while drunk, threatened to knock off the top of each others heads. The whole trouble grows out of the fact that it is becoming the practice in Kentucky to have reporters around. The idea of being surprised because a Kentucky Senator gets drunk is of course absurd, and equally ab surd is it to be amazed at his threats to fight There are two things which a Kentucky Senator of old Bourbon proclivities is always do ing getting drunk and threatening to fight But it is really innocent amusement, and reporters ought to so regard it . The Senator doesn't actually fight, and doesn't intend to, and why not let him have his little fun in his old way. It's nothing but a Kentucky wake, and the boys ought to be let alone. A Terrible Calamity. New Orleans, April 23. The Time Democrat specials give the fol lowing concerning the storm along the Jackson Railroad yesterday Montecello. twenty miles east of Brookhaven, was visited at 12:15 p. M. bv a destructive cyclone. The town was completely destroyed, onl v three houses being left, dwellings on the outskirts. Nothing like it was ever seen in this seetion. Ten per sons were killed instantly, live white and five colored. The names of the whites are as follows: II. Wethtrsby, chancery clerk ; Allen Sharp, Mrs. Cannon and baby, and Rev. S. W. Dale. Out of a popula tion ol about 1h). very few escaped without some injury. Between fif teen and twenty were seriously in jured, and some it is thought fatally. Ex-Sheriff Butler and Wife are pain fully injured. Jake M ver had his col lar bone broken, and was injured about the face. Charley Colin had his leg broken. The store of Mr. Cohn. after being blown down, was struck by lightning and entirely consumed. There was not a tree left standing in the place. Sam Hickman's fine residence four miles southeast of Monticello, was entire ly demolished. No one was hurt The track of the cyclone is estima ted at half a mile. A terrible storm crossed the road at about 11 o'clock Saturday, between Johnson's Station and Bogne Chitto, which is suppos ed to be the same storm. It blew several hundred yards of telegraph wire down and covered the railroad track with trees for a distance of two miles, delaying trains about two hours. No lives are reported lost in that vicin.ty however. The peo ple of Monticello are left entirely des titute. Our citizens have subscrib ed liberally to their relief. Several wagon loads of provisions, with other suitable things, were sent them to-day, to be followed by more to-morrow. Another Xibiltot Plot WlscoyerrMl. Moscow, April 30. A man named Koboseff Bogdanowitsch recently submitted to the authorities a plan for the illumination of the Kremlin with electric light Inquiries were instituted and it was discovered the intention was to blow up the whole Kremlin during the festivities at attending the coronation of the Czar. At the man's residence there vm and crowns wnicn were tilled with explosive materials. It is supposed these caps were intended to be thrown into the air in greetings to the Czar and that in falling to the ground their contents would ex plode with the effect of bond. Bogdanowitech and three hundred Nihilists were arrested. Mem to Aaaaasinate and Field. Tanderuilt j New York, April 29. An at- ! tempt P1!6 "f.,.? 60r?,e persons on the lives of William II.

A correspondent at Saffords gives the following account of the recent In dian attack: Stanislaus Metas, aed nine years, has just nrrived from btevens' sheep camp wiih the following story of the Indian massacre on the 18 inst : Be fore da v iuht the Indians attacked the caoij-while we were all asleep. My fath r and five other men at tempted to get their guns bpt were too late. The Indians rushed in from all sides and ovenwered them before a shot could be fired. The work of slaughter then began. An Indian put the muzzle of bis gun against the head of one man and fired: blowing his brains against the door and walls. I saw them kill my mother and two brothers by beating tht ir brains ut with stones. They killed five iiersoiisand tied my fath er and tortured him uiort dreadful ly. He beg.ed them to niwre him, Tut ll.ey nh tortured him the more, and fii.ally they split bin skull with an ax.

Thesquaw who arrived with tne boy enye there were ninety-two ar riors in the attacking party. They called themselves Chiricahuas, ai.d said they were going straight to the San Carlos ngencv to kill off the whites and get more Indians to join them. They also declared that they would kill the Inhabitants of this valley. The hostiles frequently de clared that their whole desire was to kill in retaliation for three Indians recently executed at Fort Grant Bloody Fiffht In North Carolina Danville, Va., April 27 infor mation from lancevvuie, k., confirms the report of yesterday t.at Felix Roane, postmaster there killed Nat Johnson and wounded George Williamson, ir. Johnson was shot, twice with a cun loaded with buck shot and Williamson with a pistol, The cause of the shooting was a quarrel between Williamson's father and Roane and a fight afterwards, in which V llliamson, an elderly man, was beaten. The older Williamson accused Roane of being an informer for the Internal Revenue Depart ment, and Roane cave him the lie. After this fight the younger William son, who lived out of town, went there, and Roane seeing him i n town armed himclf with a double barreled gun and pistols. When Johnson and Williamson were seen approaching Roane he ordered them to stop. Some words ensued and Roane leveled his gun. Johnson made at Roane, and Roane fired both barrels at him. As Johnson fell he handed his pistol to Williamson, and the fight contin ued till the barrels of their pistols were emptied. Williamson was wounded slightly on the head.

The steamer was on her way from Sanford. When osr-:?f Point Lan ista fire was discovu. i i.-uing from among a quantity t" pine wood The aliirui was given, and the purser went through the boat and aroused the passengers. In order to prevent a panic he told them not to be alarm ed ; that there was plenty of time. This caused some to lose valuable time The boat wac headed, for the shoie,and was ia a few minutes groun ded in three feetfof water, but the fire had driven the engineer from his post and the engine could not be stopped.

Much excitement was caused here to day by the announcement that J. D. Andrews had killed his wife at their residence near Hayesville in this county. It appears" that for several years "Professor" Audrews, as he is familiarly calied, has manifested a tendency to insanity, and an attend ant was hired to watch him. Last night while Mrs Andrews was in her sitting room her husband, who had been left unguarded for a moment in an adjoining room, seized a roll ing pin and quietly stealing up be hiud his wife dealt her a terrific blow on the head. She fell to the floor insensible while the attendant, returningjust at this moment secur ed Andrews and summoned medical aid. There was ni hone, however, and Mrs. Andrews died at 4 o'clock this morning, without recovering consciousness. She was about fifty years of age. "Professor" Andrews, who is about sixty years old, accu mulated a large fortune by his won derful skill as a mathematician. He was known as "The lightning calculator," and it is supposed that his peculiar mental exercise was the prime cause of his mind breaking down. Gen. An bar at FortreM.
