The House has adopted a resolu tion to adjourn on the 30th of this month. Carl Schurz won't support Blaine and Logan. As a chronic kicker, Carl is famous. The republican platform giyes forth no uncertain sound on the question of protecting American la borers. Tilden's declination is likely to make Governor Cleveland, of New York, the Democratic Presidential candidate. If it was literally true, "As goei Pennsylvania, so goes the Union," what a rousing majority Blaine and Logan would have. The regular Republicans are al ways right and never bolt ; the In dependents are all solid this time, so we will again present a solid front to the foe. The campaign has opened all along the line. Ratification meet ings are being held in almest every town and city in the north and west and the welkin rings with shouts for Blaine and Ixgan. Oregon fired the first gun in the battle of 1SS4. The Republicans have gwapt the State, electing a Congressman and a majority of the Legislature, thus insuring the choice of a Republican U. S. Senator in place of the present Democratic in cumbent. Political logic is a queer thing. The hide-bound prohibitionists are mad because a temperance plank was not inserted in the Republican National platform, while on the oth er hand the Democrats are striving to array the Germans against Blaine because he hails from a prohibition State. What with the hot weather, and the cat-and-dog fight for the nomina tion. the Democrats are going to have a "halcyon and vociferous time'1 at Chicaeo next month. Til den's declination has brought a score of candidates into the field, and there will be music in the air before Mr. Blaine's competitor is named Tilpes's declination has evolvd a monkey and poll-parrot time in the ranks of the New York Democ racy, lhe fur and the leathers are flying miscellaneously among the ehouters for Cleveland and Flower, who are beth struggling for a Presi dential endorsement from that state, at the coming Saratoga convention. Ocb esteemed contemporary, the Philadelphia IWv should draw its denunciation of the New York and Massachusetts bolters a little mild. It is within the memory of a few persons still living, that the Prens led the bolt against General Beaver once upon a time, when he was the regularly nominated candidate of the Pennsylyania Republicans. Mb. Tilde. having written a let ter positively withdrawing frem the Presidential race, there is great ex citement among the Democracy concerning their probable candidate. Governor Cleveland is urged as the only one that can certainly carry New York. McDonald, it is claim ed, can save the doubtful State of Indiana, while Thurman, it is as serted, can capture Ohio from Blaine. Beside these, Randall, of this State. Flower, of New York, Voorheesof Indiana, and Bayard, of Delaware, are spoken oC A vigorous effort will be made to nominate a ticket that will be strong in New York and In diana, and it loeks as if Cleveland and McDonald would ham the call. No National administration was . 1 3 J 1 ever more nearuiy enaorecu uiu has been tht of Chester A. Arthur. "Cuius" Magee, of Pittsburg, was one of the delegates from this State that voted first, last and all the time for Mr. Arthur. At an immense rat ification meeting held in that city ou Saturday night, which was pre sided over by John II. Hampton, Esq a class-mate of Mr. Blaine, af ter a number of speeches had been made, the following episode occur red : Mr. Haniuton said he saw in the audience dliteto the Chicago conTention. He was a good Republican and he would like to hear from him. He thought he you'd indorse the ticket. He reierrea to M.Te Amid cheerine that was almost doalening Mr. Magoe came on the stage at Mr. Hampton request. Advancing toward the footlights, Mr. Mairee. in a firm voice, said : "It is true that I was a deleft to the last National Convention, and did not vote for the nominee ; but vou all know tnai tue moment Blaine was nominated I become as strong a Blaine man as there is in the coun- try fr lAhn U Jfamnton threw his left arm over Mr. Mapee's right shoulder, and way ine his riRlit nana, caur.i uu.. cheers for Chris. Ma-e." They were given with a will that fairlv shook the building. "And a tipcr," yelled some one in the audi ence, and the "tiger" was given with equal fMr'. Magee continued : "That I ami a Rood Republican, and wiu ""PP011 the wuol ticket. National, State, and County, you all know, I think, without me telling yon, and - tl Hit he riTirotl iroiu uit buikc uim another storm of cheers. In its votes for President at Chi cago, the delegation from this State fully met all the expectations of the friends of Mr. Blaine, and disap pointed the alarmists and croakers. On the first ballot Pennsylvania cast 47 votes for Blaine, 11 for Ar thur, 1 for Logan and 1 for Ed munds. McMannes, Disston and Crowe of the Philadelphia delega tion voted for Blaine, the nine oth ers from the city went for Arthur, and these with Magee and Flinn, of Allegheny, made bis 11 votes. Pass more, of Schuylkill, voted for Logan and his colleague, Sollenberger. for Edmunds. Every one of the other Pennsylvania delegates voted for Blaine throughout the ballotings. On the second ballot there was no change. The third ballot showed a gain of three from the Philadelphia delegates, making Mr. Biame s vote 50, Arthur 8, Logan and Edmunds erch, and on the lourtn ballot assrnore left Logan and came to Blaine, giving him ol out of w Pennsylvania votes. Thus Mr. Blaine received more votes from Pennsylvania on every ballot, than bis most ardent friends claimed an terior to the meeting of the conven tion. Two years since, the Meyersdale Commercial cut loose from the Re publican organization ana took to the woods. It and its followers knifed General Beaver, denounced all those who adhered to the regu lar Republican party and its candi dates, and by traflicing, abuse of the party leaders, and vile misrepresent ations, succeeded in placing tne Democrats in power in this State. When, why or how it again crept back under the Republican band wagon, no one knows and but very few care. But having again en sconced itself in that safe shelter for deserters aad camp followers, it at once commenced making mouths at the editor of the Herald and those who bad stood by the Republican standard in its day of peril and tran sient humiliation, and occasionally sending up a quavering cry for the man from Maine. No sooner had Mr. Blaine been nominated than it clambered up to the top rail of the fence, and ther a spectacle for god's and men it shrilly attempts to join in the shout for Blaine and Loean that is swelling over the land, while at the same time it un dertakes to criticise the course of the Herald and dictate the scope and tenor of its editorial work for th candidates whom iU editor support ed from first to last in the Chicago convention. To see this political manikin, perched aloft, at tempting to spit over iU chin in a solemn manlv war. is the most laughable thing we have yet wit nessed in the campaign. Just let it snit and spit: it elevates it m its own opinion, we presume, and will generally amuse the public, who cannot fail to remember the adage, that "the higher a monkev climbs the more he shows his a ntics." The nomination of Blaine and Logan gives nearer universal satis faction to the Republicans of the en tire country, than any other that we now remember. The evidence of the ballotings at Chicago proves that very many good and true men in the party, preferred one or the other of the several candidates to Mr. Elaine, but unquestionably he was the first or second choice of a large majority of the voters of the party, and his nomination is certainly more acceptable to the masses than would have been that of either of his most formidable competitors. It is. un doubtedly true also that the so call ed spirit of independence that has been cultivated within the Republi can party for years past, will meas urably militate against Mr. Blaine's interests. A class of grumblers and kickers has grown up that is never happy or satisfied except when op posing regular nominations or find ing fault with them, ard of these people, a number have already plac ed themselves in antagonism to the election of Mr. Blaine. The nomina tions of Mr. Lincoln, of General Grant, of Hayes and of Garfield, were each and all of them met by opposition from this aame element, and now we find outspoken hostility to Mr. Blaine by a number of influ ential newspapers in New York and .vassacnuseiu. uut witn an occa sional exception here and there, the great mass of the newspapers from Maine to Oregon heartily and en thusiastically support the ticket and the platform. Here in Pennsylvania the ticket is hailed with universal acclaim, and will doubtless poll the entire party vote. So will it be, with the exceptions noted, through out the entire North ?rn and Western States. In West Virginia and pos sibly in Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia, the Republicans start out with even chances, and taking into account the Democratic capac ity for blundering, which will surely crop ut in the coming convention of that party, we feel that this cam paign is opening under as auspi cious circumstances as any of its predecessors of late years. Pennsyl vania is safe beyond all peradvent ure. Ohio is no longer a doubtful State. Massachusetts, with the stench of Butlerism still in her nos trils, is not likely to again kick out of the traces ; while New York al ways doubtful is not more likely tn K parried bv the enemy than if other nominations had been made. While it is assumed, on very tenable grounds, that we can elect our ticket without the aid of New lork, we do not by any means abandon the hope of carrying that State. The defec tion there is to be regretted, and will prove very formidable if persisted in, but we look for the sober second thought to bring the recalcitrants back into the ranks. Their present action is but the fruitage of the teach ings of evil counsellors for the past few years, and when the Democratic ticket is placed in the field we ex pect to find those who are Republi cans at heart, sink their personal hostility t the candidates, for the good of the country at large. It is better to look the facts squarely in the face, than to attempt to suppress them, or deny their significance. But, notwithstanding this disaffec tion, a look over the entire neiu shows that the candidates and the platform, are quite as acceptable as usual. We have championed sincerely and unselfishly the nomination of Chester Ai Arthur, of ew York., We gave the reasons for our cham pionship, and they are the reasons which the voice of thirty-eight states separately and the voice of the Na tional Convention unitedly have pro nounced good. No advocate of Ar thur has anything this day to recant that has been said in his behalf, and as he entered the convention with honor, he retires from it without a stain upon his fair reputation and with the seal of approval upon his administration. Great as may be the genius and worthy the achieve ments of Mr. Blaine : potent as may be the personal enthusiasm which his name doubtless excites, it can not be denied that a large factor in the assurance of victory which the Republican party feels to-day is the clean, wise, modest and patriotic ad ministration of the man who took up the Presidency burdened as man never had been burdened before.

Considera ble excitement and comment were caused in the village of Glen Cove, L. I., last evening by the 6udden disappearance of Elwood Lincoln, a prominent and wealthy man of that place. He was to have been married last night to Miss Ida Montfort, the daughter of the superintendent of the starch works here. The clergy man and the guests were in attend ance, but Lincoln never turned up. Inquiry at the latter's house showed that he had packed up his trunk and left for parts unknown. Rumor con nects him with another lady of the village, who left her home on Sun day Iasti The relatives of Miss Montfort threaten vengeance on young Lincoln when they lay their hands on him. Hon. Hcister Clymer Dead. Philadelphia, June 13. Hon. Heister Clymer died at his residence at Reading yesterday morning from the effects of an apoplectic stroke. He was born in Berks county in 1S27. He entered Princeton College from which institution he graduated with high honors, and in 1847 he was admitted to practice at the bar of Reading. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Conven tion of 18G0. In the fall of 1SG0 he was elected to the State Senate, and continued to represent Berks county in that body until March, lSoo, when he resigned to accept the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor, and was defeated in that con test by Governor Geary. . Not Through With Him Yet. Bostos, June 4. Samuel Lewis, who had just completed a two-years sentence in Baltimore lor lorgery, was brought here this morning to ans' four indictments on a similar charge. Lewis was formerly a wealthy ink manufacturer of New York, but so uandered his money in dissipation and several yean ago commenced forgeries of notes. .;- A Talk With Ex-Senator Cameroa. Habrisbcbq, June 10. Ex-Senator Simon Cameron left this evening for his farm at Donegal, to meet a few friends. A correspondent of the Times called at the ancient and historic Harris Mansion, the home of the venerable Senator. The conversation turning upon the all-absorbing topic ef the day, the Republican ticket, General Cam eron said that he disliked to hear old men talk as if they knew more than young men ; that he did not wish to be considered as taking any part in making the ticket, but he intended to vote for it. He thought that it was a good ticket and he had no doubt of ita success. The selection of Mr. Blaine, he thought, waa in conformity with the wishes of the people and the placing of General Logan on the ticket strengthened it He said he liked both the candi dates ; that Mr. Blaine was a man of creat abilities and capable of or ganizing an aggressive campaign. He did not believe that Mr. Blaine was a dangerous man, as some peo ple had said ; that he had too much iuasrment to do anything which would get the country into trounie. He was confident that all tne inde pendents would come in and sup port the ticket; that while there might have been some personal dis appointments the sober second thought would dispel all feelings of that kind. He looked for a particu larly active campaign, one which would command the enthusiastic support of all Republicans and many Democrats. The General was much interested in the details of the convention and thought that the effect of the elec tion would be to bring young blood, which was very much needed, to the Burface in the party. "You expect to see General Logan. Tell him that I am ready to do any thing in my power for the success of the ticket. I will take the stump for it if necessary," and, suiting the ac tion t the word, General Cameron rose from his arm chair and walked about the veranda with an elasticity of 6tep which not only indicated that he meant what he said, but that he wished to demonstrate that he could carry out his offer of active service. Religions Fanaticism. Wheeling, W. Va., June 11. Pendleton county furnishes the latest West Virginia tragedy. A bay named Andy Adoins recently attended a series i meetings held by ministers ot tae uapusi unurcu, ou iwuu Creek, in a district schoolhouse. He became deeply impressed and then insane on the subject of religion. The family consisted ef the boy, a sister of 8 years and their mother. They lived in a sparsely settled neighborhood. The non-appearance of the family on Monday last did not cause any apprehension, but a neighbor who called at the house accidentally made a horrible discov ery. The mother and daughter were both dead. The former had her head mashed, and the laiter's throat was cut from ear to ear. The boy was found crouched in a corner. In reply to a question he said the Lord had told him to ofler a sacrifice. The cabin presented a ghastly ap pearance, with blood everywhere. The mother had been killed with an ax and the sister's throat cut with a butcher knife. The .boy is in custo dy and the meetings have been stop ped. Waiting far the Ghost. Baltimore, June 14. The funeral of B. F. Stone who ended his days in the Mount Royal reservoir yesterday took place to-day and was largely attended, mainly by members of the numerous secret societies he was a member of. People living in the neighborhood and the near relatives whom Stone promised to haunt are beginning to complain of curiosity seekers who have accepted the sto ries of a promise to return from the grave in good faith. Last night they collected in crowds around the res ervoir expecting to see the ghost and others pointing out the residence of his objectionable brother-in-law as being haunted, much te the latter's discomfiture. Smallpox Cases. Cossellsville. June 14. This community is considerably excited over a number of smallpox cases. About 2 o'clock this morning the policeman of Connelleville noticed a wagon pass quietly througn tne city. He followed to the cemetery, where the driver and bis man lilted a coffin from the wagon and lowered it into a graye which had just been completed. It was learned to-day that the coliin contained the corpse of an adopted daughter of John Duggan, of WeBt Leisenring. Some days ago a woman died of smallpox at the same place, but it was bcliev ed that no new cases would develop. The superintendent and officers are taking every precaution, and a gener al spread of the plague is not antici pated. Serious Cave-in. Wilkesbarre, June 10. A seri ous cave-in occurred last night at No. 4 slope of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Uoal uompany. situated near Poke Hollow, for a dis tance of about five acres.

Both loco motives were entirely demolished, together w?th the tenders. The accommodation train was com posed of a locomotive and seven cars, while the Lakeside Park train con sisted of a locomotive and two cars. The latter were filled with women and children, and the former an ex cursion, given under the auspices of" the Sunday-school connected with the second Presbyterian Church of Camden. This train left the lat ter place at 8 :30 o'clock this morn ing, and just previous to the depart ure a dispatch waa forwarded by Superintendent Bannard to the op erator at Ashland Btreet, with orders directing the accommodation train to lay off on a siding at that point until after the special excursion pas sed. It is not known whether or not the order was received as sent, or whether the conductor and engineer of the accommodation disregarded the order and kept on with their train. There is only a single track in the curve where the accident occurred, with a slight embankment on either side. The accommodations was run ning at 22 miles an hour when it en tered the curve add after the two trains came to gatherthere was the utmost confusion among the passengers.

At 3 o'clock this morning the church beils pealed out another alarm to the inhabitants, the experience of yesterday's freshet seeming in a fair way to be repeated, t rom 1U a. ra., the rain fell in torrents.and the brook soon resumed its dangerous propor tions. The scenes of yesterday were then re-enacted. The wter ran through the hotel and other struct ures a foot deep, depositing large quantities of mud. The pathway of the water had, however, been pretty effectually cleared, and the damage to property could not be repeated. Main street this morning presents an extremely dilapidated appear ance- The street in some places is washed out fifteen and twenty feet deep. All the other streets are also badly damaged. Many tons of mud are deposited on the iron bridge over the falls, and the structure is thought to be in danger of collapse: It is im possible to come in or go out of the village with a team. The estimated losses are now $50,000 to business interests and many thousands to the roads. Rain is still falling. Heavy Frost In New Kngland. Boston. June 15. Reports from various parts of New England state that a heavy frost on Saturday night caused considerable damage to grow ing crops. Cape Cod districts re port the prospects for a cranberry crop entirely ruined, involving a loss of many thousands ot dollars, i o tatoes ond corn, and vines of all kinds were seriously affected. Much corn will have to be replanted, and owing to the lateness of the season a short crop will be the result In Norfolk county, Mass., the entire crop of vegetables were destroyed, and farmers who make a specialty of early produce will suffer exten sively. " In nearly all sections the growth ot crops is retarded. Badly Burned by Gas. Wheeling. June 13.
