The tongue of Senator Gordon is attempting to rival the brook de scribed by Tennyson, that 'Tune on forever." The telegraph operators' strike has failed and the men have again returned to their keys, or rather such of them, as the companies will again employ. The new Judicial apportionment law, makes a separate Judicial dis trict out of Cambria county. Our district, Somerset and Bedford, re mains undisturbed. There will not be a State Fair this fall. The State Agricultural Society haB secured a ten years' lease of the necessary ground near Philadelphia, but cannot get the buildings erected in time. Oscar Wilde is with us once again. Now, if the newspapers will abstain from publishing every little thing the fool does and says, he will soon pass into oblivion. Notoriety is the breath of his nostrils. "The Republican party must go," ebriek the Democratic papers, in imitation of Dennis Kearney's howl against the Chinese. Yes, it must go. But it must goto the polls, and knock the Democrats higher than Gilroy's kite. The Democrats in the Legislature believe that, ten dollars per day in hand, is worth two in the bush. They are not going to take any chances of re-election, and so hold on tenaciously to the present good thing in hand. The Ohio liquor league has resolv ed to support the Democratic ticket, and denounces the State law that imposes a tax on liquor dealers, as "despotic." The law is filling the county treasuries all the same, and the tax payers are not swearing much about it The Republicans of Iowa, having nominated a most excellent gen tleman for State Superintendent of Public Schools, the Democrats have turned in and nominated his wife. The people will now have an opportunity to decide whether "the grey mare is the better horse." The whisky dealers in St Louis, out of revenge for being compelled to close their doors on Sunday, pro cured the indictment of the owners of the street cars for running them on Sunday, but Judge Noonan sen sibly held that it must be proved that street cars are not a necessity, before a conviction of the officers could be had under the Sunday act. There are now two kinds of legis lation against intemperance being tried in this country. One is to ab solutely prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors ; the other is. to so tax the dealer as to make the business unprofitable, or in other words to tax the traffic to death. A few years' experience will prove which is the most practi caL The Ohio Republicans are fight ing to win, and their chances of sue cess have wonderfully improved of late. Their position requiring liquor dealers to pay a license, is strong with the people, and the exposure of Judge Hoadly's purchase of the nomination for Governor, is rattling the Democracy. The Republican campaign is an aggressive one, and is bound to win. The members of the Republican County Committee, should remem ber that it is their duty to see that all Republican voters are registered and a tax assessed against them. They were elected not as ornaments merely, but for the purpose of at tending to the interests of the party, The 1st day of September is the last one on which this important duty can be performed. The people of Pennsylvania have daily cause to realize the fact that they are paying too dear for their whistle. Three thousand dollars, daily thrown away, for the experi ment of a "Reform Administration," ia rather costly. They can, howev er, comfort themselves with the as surance that it will be a long, long time, before they will again permit a combination of demagogues and disgruntled politicians to mislead them into a similar folly. Bought wit is always dear. the people of this county m i Shocked and grieved to learn of the W.h f Judire Jeremiah S. lilacK, at his residence near York, on Sun day morning last Here, where he was born, and passed the larger part of his life ; where he was known, es teemed and beloved ; where his tal ents were appreciated, and where his many virtues will long be re membered, and his memory cherish ed, eulogy could not add to the roun ded fullness of his fame. lie was known as a profound lawyer, a just judge, a clear thinker, and close lo gician, a writer of remarkable beau ty and power, and, withal, genial and guileless, honest and pure, and loving with the fervor of a great na ture, the home of his 7011th and the friends of his early life. We differed from Judge Black politically, as rad ically as men can differ, but we nev er doubted that his entire public life was shaped and controlled by the most sincere convictions of right The great aflliction that his death will bring to the family hearth-stone will be shared by many in this .com munity, who have known and re spected him through life. Here it was that, as Judge, he first entered upon a public career, that has given him a National reputation, and here his virtues will long be recited, and his memory held ever green. Pennsylvania has lost one of her greatest eons, in the death of Jere miah Sullivan Black. The signs now ell point to an early break up of Pattison's extra session of the Legislature. Only six Democrats could be found in the Senate, a few days ago, to vote against an adjournment on the 21st inst, and although the House has so far refused to concur, its Demo cratic members are very uneasy and will undoubtedly soon make a break. Senator Wallace, and other leading Democrats, make no concealment of their disgust with the policy of the Administration w hich is rapidly de molishing the party, and has made Republican succees a certainty. That undoubted Democratic jour nal, the Philadelphia Record, has this to say about its party and its platform, in this State : Not journal nor an orator among the valiant defenders of Democracy in I'ennsyl vania raises a voice of rebuke or remon strance apainst the dodging platform which was reared by the State Convention for the party to stand on. Yet this platform is at distinct variance with the creed of the par ty as enunciated at the last three National Conventions, and a illU5trated in the his tory of Democratic Federal administration. The truth is the leaders of the DentiM-ratic party in Pennsylvania are brevet-Republicans. They are political eunuchs who have lost the virility and force that make them capable of doing either much good or bad in the world. The timid 60ul of the Democrat has again been affrighted by the ghost of Cameronism, and it wail- ingly inquires of the Republicans of Somerset county if they elected our Senator and Representatives for the nuruose of serving a party boss ? If our terrified neighbor will only point out when, where and how "Cameron issued his orders that there should be no apportionment," we will endeav or to procure an answer to its tremu lous inquiries. Let us start fair, and it shall not burst in ignorance, if we can prevent it It is not because the Legislature cannot agree upon a bill that an ap portionment is not made, but be cause the Democrats in their greed at the regular session, refused to ac cept a fair bill, and hoped to coerce the Republicans into measures by means of an extra session. Now, after a waste of more than two hun dred thousand dollars, they would agree to the bill originally offered by the Republicans as their ultima' turn, if they will assent to have it amended in the slightest particular, so only they will not be obliged to accept the original bilL This, to the unsophisticated, looks like asking very little, but let the Republicans agree to any change of the bill, how ever small, and at once will go up the cry : "The Republicans are re sponsible for all this waste of the people's money, for if they had only agreed in the first place to make this little concession, there would have been no extra session." The session is being protracted at an ex pense of $3,000 per day, simply for the reason that the Democrats have put themselves in a hole from which there is no escape, except through the Republicans . blunderingly shouldering the crime of the extra session. The Democrat of last week, takes its little fling at Senator Longeneck er, charging him with absence from his post of duty ; with being bossed by Senator Cameron, and thinks ( him a very poor speculation for the Independents. This petty caviling at the personal course of Legislators is simply intended to raise a dust, to distract attention from the criminal waste of money caused by the Gov ernor s lolly in calling this extra session of the Legislature, and the assinine attempt of his partisans to bulldoze Republicans into surren dering their rights, by a persistant refusal to adjourn As a matter of fact our Senator has missed but two sessions since the extra session be gan. True he did take a trip to the oil region, after the Senate had ad journed for the week, and came back on Tuesday when that body again met ; and we submit, that it is none of the Democrad business where the Senator spends his time during ad journments. If that journal is em ployed as a "whip" to look after ab sentee Senators, it should be chasing after Wallace, Hall.Coxe, Wolver ton and Vandergriff Democratic Senators, who have been absent a large portion of the entire session. The startling discovery of our neigh bor, that Senator Longenecker is a Stalwart, because he consistently rotes with his party, is remarkable only for its duplicity. During the last campaign that journal constant ly denounced bim as a Stalwart and labored zealously to array the Inde pendents against him on that ground, and truth to say, its labors were not in vain, for we have yet to learn of the first Independent in this county who gave him his support Senator Longenecker never pretend ed to be an Independent, and there fore they took no stock in him, and labored hotly for his defeat On the contrary, he was on the stump dur ing the entire canvass for Beaver and the whole Republican ticket, and the Independents are, of all hia constituents, the least entitled to prescribe his political course. As a consistent Republican, our Senator has voted squarely with his breth ren in that body on all political questions, and it is the fact that the Republicans of the Senate are a unit, that galls our neighbor, and doubt less instigated the assault upon him for which he will receive as few thanks from the late Independents as from regular Republicans. GLEANINGS. Northern philanthropists have given more than $2.3,000,000 to the OOUU1 lor euucauuuiii U9 buiit, uid war. This is a good kind of section alism. If Governor Pattison is truly report ed, the people are likely to get a good deal more light on his profes sions of economy, lie nas already cost the State several hundred thou sands for which there is no valid ex cuse and is now costing it about 83.009 a day for Lis extra session. But he now gives out that the State is rich and can afford to keep the Legislature indefinitely. It will be a popular doctrine for his poor Democratic friends in the House, but he may find it very awkward to explain at the poll3 next Novem ber. Media American. On the 1st of October, when the reduced rates of letter-postage go into operation, two new postage stamps are to be used. One is a two cent stamp, bearing the venerable and reverned face of George Washington, the other, a 4-cent stamp containing thedetermined phiz of Andrew Jack son. The old twos and threes now in use will then disappear. The ovation which President Ar thur has everywhere received on his Western trip, proves the strong hold which his sterling manhood has cainnJ for him with the masses of the peorile. The President does not rejuire a re-election to make his triumph over the tryingand adverse circumstances which surrounded his accession to the executive office. By his exquisite tact and unvarying courtesy, by what he has not said or done, as well as by what he has said and done, and by the breadth of his statesmanship, that lost sight of both faction and partv in consideration to country, he has grown steadily in the confidence of the people and commands their warmest regard and most enthusiastic plaudits. All hon orable men, without regard to party. wish the President a delightful trip, a well-earned rest, and a safe return. Hanged by fopnlar Vote. Memphis, August 1G. On the 20th of last July, Thomas Sayle, a young merchant of Oakland, Miss., eighty miles south of Memphis, was assas sinated by an unknown person, who mutilated the remains in a most hor rible manner. Suspicion pointed to a negro named Joe Payne, who was arrested. Yesterday he made a full confession and it was given out that he would be publicly hanged to-day at noon. A special from Oakland to the Appeal describes his death in the following manner: To-day. at 2:35 p. m.. Joe Payne, colored, was hanged in accordance with the almost unanimous vote of 500 to 000 citizens. The proceedings were quiet and businesslike. Sheritf Pearson made aa eloquent appeal in favor of the law taking, its course, but the crime was so revolting and the man's confession of a cold blood ed, deliberate murder so clear and complete that the sheriff was over powered. A court was at once or ganized, the Hon. J. M. Moore, may or of Oakland, presiding. V. r. Fitzgerald and W. V. Moore, attor neys, conducted the prosecution. Payne made a full confession. lie said that on the night of the mur der he went to Sayle's house for the purpose of killing him for his mon ey, and that he waited there until Sayle came out, when he joined him. They walked about 200 yards, when he knocked him down and cut his throat throwing the body in a deep gully after be had rifled the pockets of money and the store and safe keys. Then he went to the store and got what money was there, amounting in all to about thirty dol lars. After the confession, a vote was taken, and death by hanging was the verdict of the crowd who acted as jurors. A gallows was erected at once, and the prisoner mounted the 6ca2'old with a firm step. He made a speech, again confessing bis guilt, and advised everybody to teach their children to avoid evil thought;. The black cap was then adjusted, and in ten minutes he was pro nounced dead The colored people were as clam orous as the whites for avenging the outrageous crime, and the icop!e think they have done right Tarred anil Feathered.

A LC273A2T2 K3SLS LITE EITOSD. York, Pa., Aug. 19.-Judge Jeremi ah S. Black died 2 o'clock this morn ing. The recent report of the physi cians had aroused an expectation that their distinguished patient was on the way to recovery, and the comparatively sudden news of his death occasioned a profound sensa tion. His genial, kindly manner and his innumerable noble qualities made him a favorite with all classes. There is not a man in this communi ty who did not take pride in the fact that he was a townsman of J udge Black. The whole community had grown to look upon him as a father, and intense feeling at his death is showed by the many sad faces that were Been opon the streets to-day. A WHOLE TOWN IK MOUEXIXG. , His life and his service to bis coun try and to his party were the theme of conversation everywhere. In the pulpits prayer was offered for the bereaved family and the lessons from his noble, upright life were spoken of more than one pastor. The whole community mourns his death as an irreparable loss. Judge Clack's se rious illness dates from Tuesday one week ago, but his physicians perform ed a difficult operation with great success and had strong hopes of his recovery until yesterday at noon, when he was suddenly taken worse and from that time he gradually sank until death relieved him two hours after midnight All his family were at his bedside except Mrs. Clayton, his daughter, wife of Col. Clayton, who is on Government duty in the West He died in an uncon scious state. the cacse of death. His trouble was structured of the neck of the bladder, occasionally by an unusually enlarged prostate gland producing complete occlusion, which had stubbornly resisted the ordinary appliances. Previous to his uncon scious state, among his last remarks were that he thought he had more work to do in this world, but was perfectly resigned to the will of God showing his belief in that Supreme Being who judges the living and the dead. The funeral services will take place from his late residsnce, at 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. His remains will be interred at Prospect Hill Cemetery, of this place where he has a family lot ParsniDjs a Phantom. Washington, August 15. The visitors at the capital this morning were startled by the loud talking of a crank. He stationed himself in the hall of Representatives and com menced to address an imaginary audience. He was dressed fairly well ; an old slouched hat was pull ed down over his eyes. In the rnitl-t of his discourse he read a let ter fro'ii ex-President Hayes promis ing him an office. He grew very noMV, and was final! v escorted out of the building by a policeman. Inves tigation proved the Hayes Mtcr to bo genuine. A gentleman who knew him said a few years ago he was a prosperous merchant in an interior town in Ohio. One fatal day he re ceived a letter asking him to come to Washington and he would get a position in the Government ser vice. The unfortunate man sold out his business and started for the cap ital. He danced attendance at the White House for a year, and then his money gave out He never got an office, and lost his mind from disappointment When last seen to-day he was trying to enter into negotiations with some one to take him back to Ohio. A Triple Tragedy. Ludlow, AugustlS. Four men James and John O'Dare, John Sia gel and Claiborne of a gang of 70 employed by Mr. James Nixon, near Cumberland Falls, in getting out ties for the Cincinnati Southern rail road, were bunking together on Sun day night After bis companions were all asleep Slagel arose, took an ax and deliberately crushed all three of his companions' skulls, and then rifled their pockets of about sixty dollars, all the money he could find, taking also a hat and pair of boots belonging to one of the murdered men, and escaped to the woods. Mr. Nixon discovered what had been done Monday morning, and at once offered a reward of $1U0 dollars for the capture of the fugitive, and also set his entire force at work scouring the country for Slagel, who was fi nally captured Tuesday, not far from the Falls, and is now ia the hands of his cantors, who may make short worn of him before this reaches the eyes of the public. A Train' Fatal Joarner. Shexaxdoah, August 10. Last night, as a special excursion train from East Mahony Junction was passing Rappahannock Station, on the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road, the engine struck a Mrs. Gib bons and threw her several yards away, down a small bane.

"D lly " Stormer, age seventeen, was caught by her apron and was thrown around the driving shaft of the en gine at the Trucksville Woolen Mills last evening. The foreman ot the mill and others tore her from the machinery by main force. Her spine was injured, and she was re moved in a paralyzed condition. She cannot survive. Wabash, the Racing Calt Wabash, the two-year-old calico calf that is credited with a mile racing record of 2.20, was brought to Philadelphia on " Monday by his owner, Colonel Charles J. Burns, of hvansville. Indiana. Wabash has won several races off the reel this snuiitier and was only beaten once. Oti tint t occasion he fell down. At Bedford Park, on Wednesday last, he easily beat J. C. Mason's blk. g., 'Tne Major," a mile in 2.2a After the race Colonel Burns declined to offer of $1,500 for his fleet-footed bovine. The calf is nearly thirteen and a half hands high, his legs are like those of a giraffe and his horns are tipped with nickel-plated knobs. Colonel Burns bought the calf when a yearling from an Indian farmer, who was driving the split-hoof trot ter to a sulkey and beating all ordi nary roadsters with ease. The calf is of plebeian blood and was bred, raised and trained by the farmer. Colonel Burns intends exhibiting the speedy beast on all the trotting tracks in the countrv. Hitched to a light wagon Wabash trotted to Belmont Park yesterday after noon, and was sent around the track several times at a three minute gait The calf a wind and limbs are per fectly sound, and his owner says he ha9 driven him forty miles a day without making him turn a hair. Although Wabash trots fast and steadily in harness, he is much speed ier when running under saddle. To show the calf s speed he was saddled and mounted by a 115 pound jockey yesterday, and Mr. Horton's b. m. Cloriuda, with a record of 2.24, was started against him. Clorinda went away in the lead when the word "go" was given, but Ileilly, the jockey on the calf, quickly clapped spurs into its sides, and with a bellow that was heard a mile off Wabash hoisted his tail like a jackstaff and set sail after the trotter. The crowd of horsemen present at once saw that Wabash had a mixed but fast gait that is peculiar to himself. When on the back stretch his legs seemed to sprangle out on all sides at once, and be bowed his back like a buck ing broncho and blew a cloud of steam out of his nostrils. Colonel Burns proudly waved his hand towards him, and said to the crowd on the quarter stretch : "Now, you all watch that critter hump himself." If humping" ment bellowing until the astounded Clorinda bolted across tho track and stood trembling against the outeide rails, Wabash certainly did what the Colonel ex pected. Wabash came along like a locomotive, passed the bewildered mare and was loping into tho home stretch before timorous Cloritida's driver could induce her to trot Wabash won by an eighth of a mile and was cheered by every spectator except Mr. Horton, whorythmically said to his driver: "Well, don't it beat." The calf will race at Point Breeze or Suffolk Park on Saturday. 1'hila. Times. Drowns Herseirin Two Feci of Water. Dubuque, August 13. Mrs. A.

Sat urday night Jeff Miller, of Laredo, who had been on a protracted spree in Montery, Mexico, mistook a pri vate residence for a house of ill re pute. A policeman rushed in with a lamp in one hand and a six shoot er in the other, but before he had crossed the room Miller fired. The policeman fell a corpse, and, shoot ing as he fell, the ball hit Miller in the leg. The latter then backed up toward the wall, holding out against a squad of police, armed with sabres and was about shooting again when another American pinioned his arms from behind. The police then lit erally scarified Miller with their sabres, and, it is said, heaped the greatest indignities upon him while bleeding and a helpless prisoner. His leg has since been amputated and he will probably die. He was formerly a Texas ranger and is well known throughout the State. The Slate Fair Postponed. Hariusbuiig, August 13. The an nouncement was made to-day by the officers of the Stale Agricultural So ciety that no State fair will be held this year at Philadelphia as intend ed.

A Uanjferoua Counterfeit C'uin. Washington, Au 1 1. The Treas ury officials are very much puzzled at the appearance of another coun terfeit coin, which is likely to deceive even the average expert It is a five dollar gold piece, and is worth 1,5: in gold. This counterfeit is taid to be the best ever made, and its per fection has created the grave suspi cion that the governorument diss have been tampered with or an impression taken from them.
