Mcdowell SnARrE,oneof the members of the Legislature from Franklin County, died at his home in Chambersburg on Thursday last He was one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and by Ions odds the most brilliant and intellectual Democratic member of the House, Many of our citizens will remember him as the Democratic candidate for Con- press against uenerai ivoovr. iu 16G. He was also a member of the last Constitutional Convention. The Huntingdon Journal, which was intensely "Independent" last year, has had quite enough of that kind of tom-foolery and last week remarked : " When Chairman M'Kee intimates that the Independents are not heartily for the Republican tick et he displays his ignorance of the political situation. M'Kee can do as he pleases, but the Independent Republicans of this State are not going to pull any more ; Democratic chestnuts out of the fire." Is the plafform adopted at their late Convention, the Democrats fired shot at the monopolies, and straightway nominated an oil prince, and a member of the Standard Oil Company, for Auditor-General, and the President of a National Bank for State Treasurer. That the Stand ard Oil Company is the most gigan tic monopoly in this country is known of all men, and in past times Nationrl Banking has been fiercely denounced as monopoly by the same party. "Actions speak louder than words." The party either lies in its platform or in its acts. The Democratic extra session of the Legislature lias now, up to date, fooled away eighty-five days at 810 per day for each member, absent or present, thus costing the tax payers $25.j,(00, and nothing has yet been done towards apportioning the State. In a late caucus the Democrat re solved to continue the session until they compiled the Republican Sen ate to yield, and sa the Republicans are standing up for their Constitu j tioual right, and have no idea of yielding to force, there is no telling how much longer the Democrats will in-i-t on robbing the Treasury of $.;,! daily. The dihVrence be tween the two parties is brietly this : The Democrat demand that an ap portionment le made on the basis of the proportional tote of the two parties, while the Republicans insist that it shall le made according to to the provision of the Constitution, which is that the State shall be ap portioned into equal, compact, con tiguous, homogeneous districts, as nearly equal in pojmlalion as may be. In other words the Democrats want the apportionment based on the vote, and the Republicans insist that it shall be based on the popu lation, as the Constitution requires. The Dem6crats are wrong, and they know they are wrong, but they are trying to compel the Republicans to yield to them, and are squandering $3,000 Ter day in the attempt In their desperate attempt to jus tify the extra session of the Legisla ture, and its wicked waste of the people's money, the Democrats point to the fact that in 1S80, their party polled 407 ,000 votes, to 414, 000 cast by the Republicans, and claim that therefore they are entitled to thirteen of the twenty-eight mem bers of Congress, and the refusal of the Republicans to grant this fair apportionment, is the cause of the extra session and its consequent expense. Now, the Act of Congress of February 2"i, IS.j, under which the State must be apportioned, savs that Congressmen '"shall be elected by districts composed of contiguous territory, and containing as nearly as practicable au equal ',i iJ.abi-aHt' not vAc.t.

Of the 4' C,000 Democratic votes, 70,000 were polled in Philadelphia and 22,000 in Allegheny county. This is almost one-fourth of their entire vote. In Philadelphia, which elects five Congressmen, it requires a gerrymander to give Mr. Randall a district at all, and five Republican districts could be be made without violating either the letter or the spirit of the law. Allegheny county elects two Congressmen and is so largely Republican that a Democrat ic district could not justly be made. The bill offered by the Republicans as their ultimatum certainly comes up to the requirements of the law eo far as equality in population is con cerned. The ratio for a Congressional district is about 152,000. Bv this bill the average population of Dem ocratic districts is 152,233; of Re of Republican districts, 152,701. The Democrat are simply on "the' makS" Thev first demand thirteen Congressmen, then twelve, then eleven, and now, finding that they cant' get any of these numbers, they have Bettled down to get ?10 a day.

Inter Ocean. Governor Pattison's executive term will hardly pass iuto history as the economical one in our annals. It is true he began well and a quarter was saved on inauguration day, but this early advantage has since been lost in other ways.

The Philadelphia Prm places at the head of its editorial columns each day the cost of the present ex tra session of the Legislature, rating it at $3XJ0 a day, and now makes it I22S,0U0, ). The real cost is nearer ? 4.000 a day and the total cost up to date is onl v a little short of $300, 000,00. So much for the Pattison folly ! Media American. Governor Pattison's friends now noncede that the boy made a mis take in calling an extra session of ihe Legislature of Pennsylvania for the purpose of making a new appor tionment. The members seem to be unable to agree upon anything, even adjournment. Somebody will have to help them let go, or Harrisburg will never see the last of them. Inter Ocean.

Just before the meeting of the Democratic State Convention, says the Lancaster Examiner, the bosses sent the order over the line "Nom inate no man who has made a rec ord in the Legislature." Why such an order if the Democrats are not afraid the people would repudiate this wonderful Democratic extra session ? The Republicans are not afraid of their record, and so Niles wa unanimously placed upon the ticket. Now, as in the past, it is seldom safe for a Democrat to run on his record. It is always a foolish one at best This extra session is enough to weigh any party down, and the farther Gordon and Pattison push their bulldozing scheme the worse for them and their party. frogress. It is claimed that pieces of skin containing portions of the book of Deuteronomy and the command ments have been recovered from a Bedouin tribe located on the eastern side of the Jordan.

It is being examined by the savants, and will no doubt be authenticateed by them, as it is not supposed there is any Chatterton trickery about the slips.

Tribune. THE UNDERLYING SECRET. C AS SIDY FOR U. S. SENATOR. Beneath the entire struggle at Har risburg for an apportionment is an underlying secret which is gradually working its way into the minds of the people, and they are guessing what has been known to leading pol iticians for many weeks. Mot of the Democratic argument is directed against the McCrai ken Congressional apportionment bill, but between this bill and the one which the Democrats agree to accept is but a single mem ber, and where there is but a differ ence of ohf there can be no division, or no meeting half way. So that all of the argument, thus aimed, are ; a sham and pre tense a cloak to cov er the real intention, w hich is to in sist upon a new legislative bill, whereby the Senatorial and Repre sentative district mav le changed throughout the Mate.

There used to be a colored man up in the country who made a liv ing by butting his brains against a stone wall. He did not make any impression on the wall, but the small boys enjoyed the fun and dropped pennies into his hat The general opinion was, however! that the fel low was an imbecile. The Democratic legislators have just determined to continue the farce of butting their heads against the stone wall, for tho consideration of ten dollars a day. They make more money at it than the darkey did, but the verdict upon their intellect will not be any more compliment ary. The action of the caucus was mere hy8UcbT tTpiec ofbstinate stupidi- ty as might be expected from men why care neither tor the Common wealth nor for their party aa long as they can draw their pay per diem. It was a notable feature of the con ference that nearly every man whose character and experience entitled him to be regarded as a leader, eith er stayed away or remained silent and refused to take part in the suici dal folly. Some of them actually protested against it But the caucus is run now on the pig-headed policy and it has no need of brains. It is probable that the men who ; are responsible for this tomfoolery can go on knocking their beads against the stone wall without doing themselves any harm ; but if the Democratic party is going to carry on the performance it will knock out whatever brains it has left. It was not the fault of the Democrats that there has been no apportionment, and if they had any sense they could have put the responsibility of failure so clearly on their opponents that there could have been no mistaking it. Instead of that they hare chosen to make themselves a laughing stock and a public nuisance, and if their party has not brains enough to get rid of them it will not be worth while for its candidates to imagine that they are running. Philadelphia Times. WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE 7 The Republican organs refuse to take their share of responsibility for the present Legislature and are in the habit of styling it "the Democratic Legislature." The Phila. Tunes is conspicuous among them in the practice of this trick. Do these or gans imagine their readers so igno rant as not to know that the present Legislature is as much a Republican as it is a Democratic body ? Hams burg Patriot. Everybody knows that the present Legislature "is as much a Republi can as it is a Democratic body," but everybody knows, also, that the Republican part of the Legislature has repeatedly rejected the Demo cratic ultimatum of apportionments and declared in favor of stopping the costly farce by an adjournment, while the Democratic part of the Legislature rejects the Republican ultimatum and persists in wasting 83.000 a day for nothing. The merits of the apportionment controversy in the Legislature have long since ceased to be an issue there. Both sides have formally and finally declared their purpose and that pre cludes the possibility of agreement; but the Democratic House loiters about the Treasury and babbles about a dispute that was settled in the Legislature weeks ago, apparent ly for no other purpose than to bag the ten-dollar-a-day sallery. The issue was appealed to the people by the Republicans six weeks ago, and the people then became the only tribunal that can settle the dispute. The Democratic House will be compelled, sooner or later, to accept the issue before the people that the Republican Senate made long ago, and when it does accept it, the Dem ocracy will be compelled to stagger along through the campaign under the crushing load of a wanton waste of public money to gratify the greed or imbecility of its accidental lead ers. Time. Republican Chances for 1884. The hopeful outlook for the Re publican party in 1884 can be real ized in a moment when it is known that it has to win but 30 doubtful electoral votes, while upon the Dem ocratic party is placed the burden of winning i l.

Power. Special dispatch to the Patriot. York, August 21. The funeral of Judge black to-day was an event such as tli U town has notknown for half a century. The places of busi ness were closed and the whole pop ulation turned out to pay their last sad homage to their departed neigh bor and friend. A large number of persons from other places were also present, among them many of the distinguished men of the State and country. The remains of the de ceased lav in state at his late resi dence, at Brockie, a mile and a quar ter fouth of this place, wbere they were viewed by manysympathizing friends. At half past 'four tho relig ious services began, Rev. Dr. Powers of the Christian Church at Wash ington, Rev. Mr.PowellofSt John's Episcopal Church and Dr. J.O. Mil ler of Trinity Reformed Church of this place otliciatine. Rev. Dr. row ers delivered an appropriate address as follows : SEV. DR. POWERS ADDRESS. Mr. Power said: "Dear Friends We are assembled to pay the .last sad duties to this mortal body. The great spirit which moved here and whose touch was felt through all tne land has passed out from our pres ence. The majestic form which bore it the noble bead where the grand intellect dwelt, the gentle heart which throbbed with tender ness and all lofty sentiment, are here but the man who reigned within has vacated this earthly tabernacle." Amid the flowers, trees and birds, the summer fields and skies and manifold voices of nature which he loved so well he has been called hence. His eyes closed upon his beloved Brockie when radiant in its brightest beauty to open scenes rich er than are ever suffered to mortal vision. The change is a sublime one which greatest as well as sim plest souls may well covet. If it be true that the highest minds live in thoughts with the great dead more than with the living, it may be per mitted on still to live with him, but for him there are higher compan ions, grander associations, wider cir cles than can ever be known on earth. "How can I fear to cross the dark river when my father waits for me on the other shore?" "O thou beloved and moet merciful Heavenly Father,from whom I have my being and in whom I had ever trusted, if it be thy will, grant that my suffer ings end and that I speedily be call ed home to Thee !" Was not this the consolation of the old Arabian poet of inspiration ? "I know that ray Redeemer liveth, and though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold and not a stranger." What a reception to the pilgrim! What a sublime association for men even of most exalted spirit intellect! The The bl'ss of immortality consists of being present with God, in being ap proved of God in the exercise of su preme love of God, in ascribing love to God, in exploring the wonders of God ; and if the marvels of the uni- verse be but fragments of God, but touches and suggestions of uod, what must it be to come face to face with God himself! And what nobil ity of mind and sonl must be requir ed to contemplate the glories of God's presence and majesty ! When Cineas, the ambassador of Pyrrhus, after his departure from home was asked bv his master, "what he thought of the city and state," be replied, "that it seemed to be a state of none but ereat statesmen and a commonwealth of kinesl" Such is Heaven, no other than a parliament of emperors, a commonwealth of kings, an academy of our immortal rainds,a paradise of gloomy souls,ex panding, developing, fructifying un der the gracious light and wisdom and majesty of Jehovah, for every humble, faithful soul in the kingdom is a co-heir with Jesus Christ with a role of honor, a sceptre of power, a throne of majesty, a crown of glory and a spirit touched by the spirit of God. Ibis height is obtained only by a living faith. The gospel brings its knowledge of the higher life and bids ever believr. You would not prove the magic of the night, the rich harvests, the flowering mead ows, to a man who from dawn to twilight and often under the moon, traverses the fields, who draws hi scythe through the grass glittering with dew, who returns in the even ing by the side of the river in which the stars are reflected. To him who see, belief is easy ; the thing exists, X touch it it is mine, lo him who sees not, you bring faith, and he who names faith, names contest and con flict. This man was a man of faith. He believed in God. He trusted in Christ He leaned upon the arm of infinite merer for salvation. He recognized the truth, after all his honors, that the most illustrious ob ject in the universe is a sinner saved by grace. He said he had no doubt of the truth of Christianity, but that his faith increased with his added years. He was a praying man. and in the face of all things sought to do the right He who when goodness is impressively put before him.exhib its distinctive loyalty to it starts forward to take its side, trusts him self to it, such a man has faith, has the root of all righteousness in him. He who is truly treat sees the per fection tf goodness in Christ, and saving miin in tne nignt oi a peni ui n ueiu- tent sinner to the mercy of God in i Christ Our brother's faith was sim ple, indeed his whole character was grandly simple. Forty years ago he made a public acknowledgement of allegiance to Jesus Christ, and iden tified himself with the brotherhood known as "Disciples." While living remote from any congregation of the church ot his choice, he was always associated with them in bis religious belief and sympathies. When in Somefret, Pennsylvania, he regular ly attended the services of the Chris tian church, and with Vermont Av enue Christian church he was a worshiper when at the Capital. He was an earnest listener. He broke bread reverently in commemoration of the death of our Lord, and one of his last good deeds was to contribute liberally toward the new house of worship being erected for the con gregation. He was always a valued friend to him who is called to-day to speak to you these unworthy words over his cold form. . He thoroughly understood the scriptures and his counsels were gladly given and al ways helpful in the examination of difficult Scripture themes. He loved to dwell upon the profound and beautiful truths of redemption, and one of his most recent works was an able defense of Christianity against her enemies.

May we not leave him then, with the dear Lord, assured that with our great friend and brother all is well Why should we mourn for him to day?

Meagre telegraphic advices were re ceived here early this morning of a terrible accident between Rochester & Zeumbrota, Mind., on the Rochester & Northern division of the Chicago & Northwestern road, by which about one hundred people were kill ed and wounded. On account of wire interruption no information could be obtained till the arrival of the train from the scene of the dis aster with thirty-five people who had been wounded in the accident Of this mumber many seemed to be seriously wounded, and all have been taken to the hospital. The train wrecked was that which leaves Rochester about 4 p. m., arriving at Zeumbrota about 6 p. h. It was caught in a severe wind and hai storm that prevailed in that vicinity between 4 and G o'clock in the even ing, and while running at high speed was lilteu lrom the rails. MOST HORRIFYING. A gentleman who has been at the scene of the disaster describes it as one of the most horrifying railroad accidents ever seen. Eyery car in the train was completely wrecked and almost literally shattered to pieces by the sudden stop caused by tne train leaving the rails, burying the unfortunate passengers beneath the debris, killing many nd injuring nearly every person aboard. The gentleman stated that nine dead bod ies bad been taken lrom the ruins and a large number of those who were seriously injured were removed to Rochester and Owatonna. At the time he left the work of extricating the unfortunate victims was still progressing. The number k illed will reach a score when the final sum ming up is made. Attacked by Four Aaitaaina. Erie, Aug. 22. A dastardly crime was committed last night in ureen- held township, this county. Thom as Flushing, James and John Evarts and unam flushing waylaid a farmer named George W. Dresser and attacked him on his way to Erie. Being well mounted Dresser escaped. He was beset again on his return and pursued for nine miles, the pursuers tiring on him several times. He reached his home about midnight, and two hours afterwards was decoy ed from his bed by an alarm of fire and was seized by the four ruffians each of whom plunged a knife into his body. Dresser fell bleoding to the ground and was picked up insen sible. The dangerous character of the wounds has made an ante-mortem statement neccessary.
