If the Mexican pension bill ever had a chance of becoming a law at the present session of Congress, it has none now. Its opponents in the Senate, unable to kill it outright, have resorted to the parliamentary tactics ordinarily adopted under such circumstances. They have loaded it down with amendments, in which the House will not find the time, even if it had the inclina tion, to concur, and so the Mexican veterans will be compelled once more to taste the bitterness of hope deferred. 1.

On Wednesday there were five State Conventions held by the Dem ocracy, and while all expressed a desire for Mr. Tilden to run again for the Presidency, they very re spectfully jointed out their "second choice" for Chief Magistrate of the Nation. All favored "tariff reform," but Ohio adopted her former plat form with the "incidental protection plank." The proceedings show that the old party is as hopelessly divid ed on the tariff question 88 ever, and indicate that it will be difficult to have a "straddle plank" adopted next month at Chicago. The Prohibitionists of Indiana " have called a State Convention to nominate State officers and an elec toral ticket The Secretary of the Treasury has determined to issue 61,50(1,000 addi tional legal tenders in one and two dollar bills. Next week the Democratic candi date lor President will be nomina ted. Blaine's letter of acceptance will foliew shortly after, and then thecarapaigu will open and the fun begin. The New York Sun, the ablest Democratic paper in the country, scouts at the idea that Massachusetts is a doubtful State. It is republi can and will remain so by a large majority. The New York Independent Re publicans, in convention assembled Friday, gave a pretty broad hint that if the Democrats will nominate Grover Cleveland they can depend ou their votes. TnE Democracy are trying hard not to blunder; but after they have tangled themselves up and fallen head nrst, tney win oe prepareu w 6wear with perfect veracity that they always come down stairs that way. The Democrats, for once in their lives, admit that Pennsylvania is a Republican State. The most obtuse or reckless journal of that party has not yet dared to claim it. It is the first time they ever gave up the old Keystone at the outstart of a cam paign. Two years ago the New York Tribune kicked and helped to elect Cleveland Governor of the State. Now that the Governor is likely to be made the Democratic candidate for President, we should think that journal is in rather an embarrassing jHJsition. There is a long uncertain and bitter fight before the Democrats in their coming convention at Chicago. The candidates are numerous and the diversity of opinion on the lead ing questions of the day is irrecon cilable. A straddle will be attempt ed on the tariff, and grief will come of it Is his serenade speech General Logan said : "The Republican party must not go to the wall till every State gives its citizens full political rights, and the country guarantees protection to every American at home and abroad ; till our monetary system is established beyond ques tion ; till the laborer gets his rights, till education is universal, and, in general, till self-government h8 solved all the questions of humani ty." Such a programme carried out would tuck away in their craves about three generations of Demo crats. Gex. Butler will turn cut to be a bloated monopolist if his enthusi astic friends do not soon stay their hands. lie has the Presidential nomination of the Greenbackers, the Anti-Monopolists and of several oth er embryo parties. lie is a delegate at large from Massachusetts to the Democratic convention, and a can didate for the Democratic nomina tion for President. The fun of the tiling is, the Democrats are absolute ly quaking in their shoes for fear that, by some unknown kind of Butlerian tactics the bold Free-lance will capture the nomination at Chi cago next week. The principal reasons assigned for the nomination of Governor Cleveland as the Democratic candi date for President are that, he car ried the State of New York for Gov ernor against Judge Folger, when the uartv was distracted by divis ions, and the promise of the Inde pendents that they will vote for him against Blaine. The Republicans have carried New York in a square stand up fight since Cleveland was elected, and if his friends want to have "lots of fun," just let them knuckle down to the Independents and procure his nomination. After November, like the boy that was kicked by the mule, "they may not be quite so handsome, but they will have learned a darned sight." Now aod Then. In 1SS2 when the alleged Inde pendents of the country were deter mined to defeat the election of the reliant Beaver there was no journal went more hcartilv into the work than Hatycr'a Weekly, and its editor, George W. Curtis, was a favorite and leading spirit with the conspirators. Then the New York Tribune and Philadelphia Tress were preaching the very doctrine that Curtis is now entmed in desscniinatinjr : but now they can scarcely find language suf ficiently strong to aencunce wis course. Their conduct is not as con sistent as his. though they are now riffht and he is wrong. The truth is thesa iournals ioined in the move ment to defeat Beaver from personal reasons alone.and advocated doctrine they did not believe in order to com pass the end they desired. On the other hand Curtis is honest, though mistaken, and it looks a little cheeky for the newspapere who used him for their stlfish purposes two years ago to denounce him for doing now what they so heartily approved then. Lancaster Inquirer. The "Kickers" Kicked. ri?: l lit. "l.inl- 1 OllUCai UUUCIS U11U ".ACID are falling into disrepute. Their ae tions show them to be persons of weak convictions, with a. narrow outlook, who are generally influen ced bv selfish considerations. It has come to bo that the "kickers" of one year condemn and despite those who imitate them in the next. We now see in Pennsylvania the "kick ere" who defeated the gallant Beaver filled with disgust towards the "kick ere" of New York and Boston who are trying to pave the way for the defeat ot Blaine. The men with records that will bear investigation and the trials of time are those who are consistently faithful to their prin ciples and to the organization which represents them, while those whose unfaithfulness makes it doubtful where thev wul be tound can never win influence, respect or success. There never was a time when the Republican party was organized for effective work so easily as under the leadership of Blame and Logan Ring a bell in any village, or blow a horn or beat a drum at any cross roads from the Pacific to the Allan tic, and in an hour the boys will be in marching order. The people who think this is all for fun and means nothing makes no mistake. Inter Oram. Tarred and leathered. Ex-Mayor Liddell, of Pittsburgh, who has never voted any other than the Democratic ticket, has come out for Blaine. He says the eternal clamor among the Democratic lead rs for free trade has tired him out, and that he don't see how any man living in Pittsburgh, or any Penn eylvanian, can stand it. In his speech at the Chicago Con vention, George William fcurtis de clared "By the grace of God, I am a Republican and a free man." Mr. Curtis is so free a Republican thai he refuses to support Blaine and Logan. It was that kind of free Republicanism that gave Xew York and Pennsylvania their pres ent Democratic Governors. The newspapers keep iterating and reiterating that Mr. Blaine is a member of the Congregational Church and that General Logan is a 6ound Methodist. Well ! we believe it Now let us have an end of this humiliating and disgraceful attempt to control political ballots by relig ious preferences. The constitution provides that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust under the United States." Mr. B. F. Jones, of Pittsburgh, has been made Chairman of the Na tional Republican Committee. Mr. Jones is one of the wealthy iron manufacturers of that city, and is a gentleman in every way worthy of the honor. The only objection that can be filed against him is that ke has never been an active ' it politician, and is not conversant with the management of campaigns. He will, however, have associated with him on the committee some of the ablest practical politicians of the country. At the head of our columns will be found the ticket selected by a plurality of the voters at the Repub lican primary election on Saturday last It would be gross hypocrisy to assert that in its entirety it is ac ceptable to us, but it was chosen from an array of forty-two candi dates, in accordance with the usages of the party, by a plurality of Repub licans out of an unusually large vote, and it is therefore entitled to and should have the amplest support, from every man who cast his ballot at the election by which it was nom inated. No true and stalwart Re publican ever plays fast and loose with the fairly nominated candi dates of his party. It is only by al legiance to honestly selected candi dates, that party supremacy can- be maintained. This doctrine we have always tried to inipres3 upon the Republicans of Somerset county and wo reiterate now Stand by the ticket If the Democratic journals are to be relied upon, they have Blaine whipped already, without having even placed their candidate in the field or promulgated their platform. This bragadocio is begotten of the trust they put in the Independent kickers. But if these hopeful gen tlemen will permit their memories to 6tray back a few years, they will remember that dissatisfaction at the outset of Presidential campaigns is not uncommon, and that the Inde pendent reformer is not a very reli able political factor. In 1SC4. the opposition to the re-election of Abraham Lincoln was very Btrong among tha most influential Repub licans, but it eventually came to nothing. In 1872, the so called lib eral Republicans, kicked out and 6et the Democrats cackling all over the country, but the result like dead, sea apples, turned to ashes on their lips. In 1S80, the campaign dragged for several weeks, owing to tbe dis satisfaction of a number of the lead ing Grant men over the nomination of General Garfield, but the ranks soon closed up, Grant and Conkling took the stump for the nominees, and the disaffection turned to enthu siasm. As it has been, so will it be in the present campaign. Disaffec tion in Presidential years never amounts to much, except in the way of disappointment to those who base their early calculations upon Cakaboo, Wis., June 20, 1SSJ. Last night a crowd, well organized and made un of some of the best people in this part of the State, went to the residence ot Lawrence v orin, of this place, took him out into the public street and covered him with a coat of tar and feathers. Worth is a hiehlv connected man, about twenty-tight years old, who has led a very dissolute life. Three weeks ago he married a Miss Ableman, a young lady belonging to an excel lent family, but somewhat weak minded, and started on a wedding trip to the South. It was known that lie had but little money when he left, pnd tbe knowledge that he obtained his traveling expenses at the price af his wife's honor excited general indignation against him. When taken from the house he fought like a tiger, but the crowd cut his clothes from his body with knives, and he was thoroughly coated from chin to ankles. He was then allowed to go and seek shelter under a neighboring bluff, and has not since been seen. Vored to Deatb. Westerx, N. Y., June 20. Henry Wolfe, a well-to-do and respected farmer of this place, went out this morning to water a two-year old bull, which he kept tied to a tree near the house by a long rope. He found that the bull had walked around the tree so often as to wind the rope up yery short. Mr. Wolfe started the bull around the tree, so as to unwind the rope. After the animal had secured sufficient rope, as near as can be ascertained, he pitched at Mr. Wolfe, and tossed him into the air. He then trampled on the prostrate and helpless man, breaking several of his ribs. Mr. Y olfe shouted for help and his wile went to his assistance. Mrs. Wolfe, with the assistance of some neigh bors, carried the injured man into the house, where he died in a few hours. GENEUAL. VOQXS ACCEPTS. Hi Speech to the Committee that For mally Xotifj- Him of tbe Nomination. Washington, June 24. Chairman Henderson and the members of the committee charged by the National Republican Convention with tbe duty of formally notifying the can didates for President and Vice Pres ident of their nomination met at noon to-day. They proceeded to the residence of General Logan, and were ushered into the large parlor. The General stood in the middle of the room, with Mrs. Logan at his right hand, and was introduced to the members of the committee by the chairman. The company then arranged themselves in a circle around the room to hear the ad dress. Chairman Henderson then read the formal notification of the nomi nation of Senator Logan as Vice President, to which the General re plied as follows : GENERAL LOGAN'S 8PEECH. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee I receive your visit with pleasure and accept with grati tude the sentiments you have so generously expressed in discharge of the duty with which you have been entrusted by the National Con vention. Intending to address you a formal communication shortly in accordance with recognized usage, it would be out of place to detain you at this time with remarks which properly belong to official utterances of a letter of acceptance. I may be permitted to say, however, that though 1 did not seek the nomina tion of Vice President, I accept it as a trust reposed in me by the Repub lican party, to the advancement of whose broad policy upon all the questions connected with the pro gress of our Government and our people I have dedicated my best energies, and with this acceptance I nmv nroTierW pirnifv mv annroval J fl J --B--J -j r I of the plattorm of principles adopted bv the convention.

I tender my thanks, Mr. Chair man, for the kind expressions you have made, and I offer you and your committeemen my most cordial greeting. A Nest f ConnterreiHT. How to Punish Home Thieves. Si raxtox, June 24. Hugh Mills and his wife were arrested here to day by United States Commissioner Barring, of Wilkesbarre, for complic ity in counterfeiting. The informa tion on which they were taken was furnished by two young men named Bunnell and Lawler, who were ar rested in Wilkesbarre yesterday. At the residence of Mills a number of counterfeit dollars and five-cent pieces were found, in addition to a pail of sand used for moulding and some white metal and zinc of the sort used in making spurious mon ey. They denied all knowledge of the boodle. Mills was remanded for trial to Wilkesbarre and hia wife was admitted to bail before Com missioner Wilson, of this city, for her appearance next Friday, Cashier Linen, of the First National Bank, becoming her security. The arrest of M ills caused a sen sation, as he had been for many years a moulder at the Dickson Works and was regarded as a steady workman. The gang of counterfeit ers have operated in tms city lor more than three vears, and the prin cipal, a man named Given, who is Mills brother-in-law, is still at large, Other arrests are expected to follow shortly. No less than six who were implicated in the business left town to-day, after hearing of the arrest at W llkesbarre yesterday, and have not been heard ot since. St. Paul, June 25. Horse thieves have seldom, if ever, been so numer ous and troublesome in Montana and Dakota as daring the present year. Horse thieving there is re garded as a worse crime than bur glary or ordinary highway roblery, and if continued would be aii irre parable injury to the country. This spring several farm era were robbed of all their horses just as they were in the middle of spring work, and the loss has verged upon financial destruction. Tbe farmers finally rose en masse and inaugurated a crusade against the depredators, which has borne fruit in the shape of six lynchiogs, and more to follow, unless the thieves desist in the nefarious work. News has been received that on Sunday James O'Neill, one of the leaders of the Dakota gang, was caught by vigilantes six miles south of Victoria, on th6 Missouri River, and hanged" to a telegraph pole. He was found by a stage driver, with a note in his pocket bearing the words, "O'Neill, the horse thietV' Four more of the gang were pur sued north to the Mouse river, where a fight took place. One thief was shot and three others hanged. In Montana tbe cowboys joined the farmers in the work of vengeance. Edward Owens and S. Nickenon, who recently stole eight horses from the Benton and Billings Stage Com pany, at Rocky Springs Station, were overhauled and killed by a party ol cowboys, and all the horses recovered, together with two ridden by the robbers. Both in Dakota and Montana the farmers are determined to run down and lynch horse thieveb uniil the stealing stops, and public opinion seems to justify this policy. Through Bridtc.

Carbondale, June 25. George W. Nivers, of Providence, has just returned from a 300 mile chase of horse thieves, which cost him $250, without overtaking them or recover ing the property they took. There were two bf the thieves. They hired a valuable team at Sisco & Griffin's liberv stable in Providence, on Tues day of last week, representing that they were agents for an agricultural implement firm. They wanted to go to a village six miles away. Ni vers, traveling night and day, and obtaining fresh horses at various places on the route, . followed the thieves to Binghampton, and from there along isolated roads up the Chenango Valley for thirty miles. At Norwich they were still a day ahead of him. Nivers traced thetM thence to Utica. At New Berlin they had stolen two more horses. At Utica, Nivers learned that the thieves were professionals, and that one of them, according to the de scription, had served - four years in ittatc Prison for horse stealing. From Utica the thieves passed up the Black River Valley to Carthage, and took to the North Woods region, where Nivers lost all trace of thera and gave up the chase. The stolen property was worth $700. A Human Arm Made Inta Paper. Kasto.h, June 24. A suicide last night shocked the community about Annandale, N. J.

Young was very widely known, pop ular and energetic, and was to be married in the fall. He was of a jealous nature and the sight of hia betrothed riding by with another man so worked upon his feelings that he never inquired who he was or what his presence meant.

McKee was rescued and sent to the hospital, where his wounds, it was said, though severe, would not prove fatal. Simpson was caught in the rigging some distance below the edge of the tower and remained sus pended 1G5 feet over the street. All efforts to extricate him from his terri ble position were for a long time unavailing. He was finally extrcat ed from the entanglement of ropes and timbers which pinned him to the wall and it was found that he had been conscious throughout the whole period. His rieht leg and arm were broken and his chest was badlv crushed and his body was covered with contusions and bleed ing wounds. He was lowered to the ground and sent to the hospital, whert it was said his recovery was doubtful. Several larce stones crashed through the roof of the church and did damage amounting to $5,000 The accident was caused by the foot of the derrick slipping from its support as it was being raised.
