If you want to see how had it hurts, just note the villification of tieneral Tat tle for denouncing the iiag surrender, which you can liud in any Iemocratic journal you may chance to pick up.

Finding that he had committal another blunder, he has reversed himself, and will go to St. Louis or any other plai he is invited to. It is tarth asserted and denied that Mr. Blaine contemplates a speedy return to this country, and that he is in robust health, and, again that he is a very sick man. Why such contradictory reorts should be put in circulation is a matter of conjecture. Some very wise jieople see loliticsat the liottom of them. Skchetakv Lavah has dismissed Pen sion Kxaminer lichle of Cincinnati, lie cause in private society, he condemned the President's rc)el dag order. Major Behle served with distinction in the t'n ion Army during the rebellion, otiice holders must learn that they have no right U expressopinions, diverse to those of the Administration. The reiKirt that Mr. Blaine has con cluded to cut short his Kuropcan trip has kicked up quite an excitement among the small fry iH'tnoeratic politicians, and each and even- one of them is certain that some political move of unusual iinimrt niv ison the tapis. When the " plumed knight" takes snuff, all these know ing fel lows immediately sneeze. It is telegraphed from HolliJaysburg that lion. John A. I'inon. and Hon. P. F.

Ip the IViiiorrat of IVrks county could only get a chance to vote for their party's candidate for Oovernorof Mary luml, what a how ling majority they would give him, and how the old moss-hacks would hug themselves over '.heir sagacity in pcrsistantly voting for Jackson until they had foixt-d their party leaders into giving them another whack for "Old Hickory."

Xew8 comes from Scotland said to have been contained in a letter from Mrs. lilaine that Jaiac i. " has several times tutured upon tlie green a thing tliat he liad not done for several years." Now, ho dare say that Mr. Blaiue is not a candidate for President and a spry one, too. At least, we suppose, that is the animus of all this tittle-tattle about his saltatory doings, w hich we find in the daily press. Iktkksal Kevekve Commissioner Mil in rcporta. oflicially, that the collections from tliat s-Hirve during the year ending June 30th last amounted to over$llS, OtW.OlK) or nearly SKUKXUKIO for every month in the year. At their Convention in Ohio a few days since the IVmocrats of tliat State declared in favor of contin u iiur the taxes and of a corniondiug re duction of tariff duties, and now it is announced that Speaker Carlisle stand on the Ohio platform. This was his plat form last winter when he determined that either the tariff must go, or there should be no reduction of interna! reve nue taxe, and refused to entertain a mo tion for their reduction ineoriHeienoe of which we are now collecting this enor mous sum, for which the government bus no use. When Congress meets in Decem ber next it w ill be brought face to fa-e with this question and Mr. Carlisle w ill again liet candidate for Speaker ; the professed tari ff I emocrtfl w ill then have an opportunity of stamling by tlwir dee iaratiuns, or by voting to n-clo-t Mr. Car lis! to his former jsjsition aii'itiiis d.s-- trine that there shall le no reduction of taxes except by a cutting dow n of tariff duties on the line of Free-trade. The President's order against oflice hoklers interfering in politics was Mally ignonsl at the late iN-mocratic Conven tion in ( Ihio, that Issly lieing Urgely cfim-pos-d of Federal officials. Jurt wait un til the last of this month w hen the " un terrified" of Pennsylvania assemble in convention and you w ill find that body swarming w ith official flii-s. The Presi dent didn't mean it, or else he daren't enforce the order. What are the Prohibitionists fee-ling us, when they announce that they are going to carry Texas at tlie election which cow ofTThursday ? Have they forgotten tliat Texas can give HO.tKK), IVinocratie majority, when the leaders so decree? It is contrary to all past teaching to Mieve tliat an Ethiopian can change his skin, and unless this miracle is made visible at the polls we enter for very many doubts as to the success of the Irohibitioiii-"ts in a Suite where the color line is so tightly draw n. The average Texan Democrat has an ajijx-tite for w hiskey that he will not permit to le controlled by the despised " nigger v te." TiiKKtfare charges tliat the most as tounding briliery and corruption was prevalent at the late Democratic primary election, held in Fayette county last week, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for additional law judge. These charges emanate principally from the friends of the defeated candidate and there is a vast deal of dirty Ik-utocratie linen leing washed in public. It is a family ijuarnd entirely, and sooth to sav. from the estab lished reputation of Fayette county Ieui ocrats, we are prepared to believe, all the rasodly stories they now tell of each oth er. It is the old story of "pot calling kettle 'black.'" Ix their hot indignation at the Presi dent's order surrendering the battle flags, the Orand Army men didn't stop to choose phrases. For this outburst of fealty to "old glory " they were denounc ed by the I lemocratic press as swash bucklers, pension swindlers, frauds, bounty-jumpers, fanatics and deserters, and the howl was raised that the Orand Ar my organization had been turned int- a jiolitical machine. Then came the soUt second thought, and these organs are craw fishing in a way that w ould make a hor laugh. The (irand Army is not composed exclusively of Itepublican. and the Democratic veterans in the organiza tion didn't relish the Jet phrases ls-stow-eil ujxin it. Din it ever occur to the IVmocrals w hose stereotype reply to the Uepublican ilemaml for fair play, for a free vote and an honest count, is, "oh! you are waving the bloody shirt," that it is their own leaders w ho are keeping up the sec tional divisions of the late war; and that tio for their own selfish purposes? A "solid South "can Ik- kept solid for party purposes, only through sectional animosi ties, and so long as these swtional ani mosities are kept alive, the Northern Democrats reap the profits. By reason of this cunning devise of the Northern Dem ocratic leaders: this continued howl of bloody shirt on all occasions, the singu lar anomaly is presented of a party hav ing a vast preponderence of its electoral vote in the South, invariably presenting a Northern man as its candidate for President. The Southern States gave 1 1!) electoral votes to Tildcn, i:'S to Hancock, and 15:5 to Cleveland, while from the en tire North, this first IVmocratic President since the war, received only 4!) electoral votes. Why should not the Democrats f the South, furnishing as they do, more than three fourths of the votes have a place on the Presidential ticket? Ck'urly, because, they are afraid of the sectional animosities which their fellows in the North cultivate and keep alive for their ow n selfish purjtoses, or Ix-cause their Northern leaders know that then- has been no change of sentiment, no abate ment of secession proclivities among ih' Southern brethren, and are afraid to trust them with absolute control of the govern ment. Or is it, as it used to lie in uut. MVMidays,theSiuth;aii best accomplish its ends through " Northern men with Southern principles?" The delver after satisfactory answers to j-olitieal problems w ill find a hard nut to crack when he tackles the juetion, why den's an over whelming Ifcmocratic majority in the South always turn V) a petty Northern minority when in search of a Presiden tial candidate? Or why, if Southern Ik-ni-ocrats areas loyal, as their Northern brethren claim them to le. and have put aside the animosities of the war, do they persistently refuse recognition to South ern men who cast in their lot w ith the I'nion side during the rebellion, and bit terly ostracise those of the South w ho dare declare that secession ami nullifica tion were wrong, or avow their hostility to rai-e distim-tion in the granting or de nial of .htic.il rights. There is a wide field for iiiltioii in this anomalous state of atlaim, and the careful student of current history will em-ounter many, ap liarcntly irreconcilable propositions. Why should a majority always seek Torn Presidential candidate in the luiuority w ing of it jiarty ? Why should a people claimed to lie eminelity loya! uow, ostra cise tlieirfellow citizens who were loyal ); r.' Why should not a native Southerner lie nominat-d as the Democratic candidate for President when three-fourths of the party vote is Southern, and to the manner born ? Why should adherence by IJepub licans, to the principles for which the North endured the acourge of war, le ol noxious, to waving the bloody shirt, in the eyes of those w ho stoutly maintain that they were right, and persistently prove their faith by their works? These be questions worthy of study and are por tentous in their solution. We drop the subject w ith the remark that it is strange, passing strange tliat in the entire range of the Southern .StaUw where the great bulk of the Pemocrvtic vote is centered, not an eminent memlier of that party can lie found, possessed of a record of tst and present loyalty to the National govern ment w horn the leaders of the party w ill put forth and support as their candidate for President. His loyalty to the I'nion in the how of its danger would surely be no objection to Democrat of the North, and it must be in thai section of the country w here three fourths of the Dem ocratic vote is polled, that hostility to such a nominee exists. TtiEtuisnUa particle of doubt but Cleveland is tlie strongest man the De mocracy can nominate. He has the solid South behind him and an artuy of offi cials, w ho w ill tate off their ooate and do their best upon tlie principle thafDad'a under the hay." Oiicago luUr-ikm.

Tlte Kama f Sty delegation which came to Washington invite tlie President to visit KansiuCity, daring his contemplated western trip, were aoconled a sjwcial rcoefition in the East Room of the White House al-oct noon to-day. There were over one hundred persons In the party, in cluding ladie. They filed into tlie East IUioni in eunplt and rancd them wires in a sruii-circle, and as soon ns tlie President en-len-d Mr. ti. II. Allen, chairman of the dele gation, introduced each of the other ns-udwrs in turn. When this 6rmality was over Mr. Allen advanced and addressed the President. Mr. Allen said the delegation represented tlie merchants, manufixtureTS, plijKM-iaiw linkers and men of business fienenilly of Kansas Ity, who bore an invitatin to him iclf and Mrs. Cleveland, signed by 21, WW citizens, asking him to visit them. He thought the visit was in the line of tlie Pres ident public duty, and assured him of an enthusiastic welcome. THE PBII1EST'S KKFLT. The President replied as follows : I should not be frank with you if I pro fess;d that the invitation which you have just now so pleasantly and cordially extend ed was the first intimation I have liad of your dire that I should see you at your beautiful home. I have thought that any trip I might make bringing me in your neigh borhood would lie incomplete and wanting in advantage and profit if it did not incluile a short stay in your active, stirring city. I am sj-euaily pleased that the invitation which you so kindly extend to me has no partiMi or jiolitcal feature, but that the rties to it are the people of Kansas tlty, desirous of ex hibiting to their servant and the Chief Mag istrate of all the wople what they havediaie and contributed towanhi the national great ness and prosperity, of which every Anieri--;in citizen is or should he proud. And the pltasure which the non-olitical feature of your im itation gives nie is increased by tlie fact that Kansas i 'it y is represented here by the panics who are actually engaged ill the diverse enterprise w hich have made your "i'v great alnl j-rosjiepHis, and that ever' in-u-r.-st which she f.wtcrs has a place in the dclcsation I see 1 fire me. I want to sec your city and I n discern no opportunity to do so unless I extend the trip to St. lui already determined upon and include Kansas City among the places I shall visit. The consideration I have already given the subject and the ln-artiness and siii-vrity iif your invitation induce me to ac cept it at once. My time upon this ecntem-piati-d trip w ill, of course. Is- limited, and many places which I should lie glad to see niu! Ik- p issi -l by : hut 1 am so free from doubt as to w hat I should do in resiiise to your invitation that I think it would he af fectation tod.i otherwise than to assure you that your city shall lie included in my scheme. I cannot now fix the exact date when 1 w ill he w ith you, but shall 1 glad to arraiiuc thai and other details hereafter with those acting in your behalf. I might ad-1 in a general way tliat the time of my visit will lie Iwtwccn the 1st and the Trth of tetober. The President 's remarks w ere loudly cheer ed and as the applause subsided he turned to Mr. Allen and remarked Mitto voice: "If this is evidence of tfie way you will treat me whi n I get to Kansas City I don't know when I shall 1 able to U-ave there." A llEACTIFft I5V1TITIOS. Mr. Cleveland then s-nt soiik time ill ex amining, the invitation which was lying on a tahle ties'uU him.

Another Disaster on the B A O. Ookskuivuxk, P., July 28. At an early hour this morning, as engine 517, with a heavy train or mixed freight. a paasing over the Mt. Savage bridge, a JW niiles west of Cumberland, tlie structure gave way and. and the engine and a number of cars were precipitated Into the (forge below. Engineer Win. Discroll and Fireman Wm. Payne were instantly killed, and a brake man, whose name could not Is; learned, was seriously injured. There had Wn a waterspout along the headwaters of tiie stream over which the bridge was built, and the peirs were damag ed to such an extent that the bridge could not sustain the weight of the train. Tlie bodim of the dead train men are still under the wreck. Passenger trains have been delayed several .lxMirst, Trains art running past the wreck by way of tlie Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad. At the utHors of tlie coni(ny iu this c-ity the authorities say their information in re gard to tlie accident is meagre, but gave such as was at their command. The fireman and engineer live at Conuellsville. The latter has been on the road some years. The ac cident occurred at Mt. Savage junction, where the Cumberland and l'ennsylvania Road meets the B fc 0. At this point there is a small stream. Tlie bridge over the stream is reached by a trestle. The stream was swollen very quickly by an exceedingly heavy rain, and some of the under timbers were washed out leaving the rails and upper timbers intact. When the engine rail on the structure it gave way under the weight and the engine and three cans of coal went down. It has never been supposed that the stream could rise so high iu such a short space of time. It is estimated that the damage may reaeh $),0tM. Havoc Wrought by Tuesday Night's Llghtningand Rain. Rkadiso, July 2S. I-ater pirtiruiars of last night's storm indicate tliat it was the severest ever known in this vicinity. Tlie total damage done to railroad and private proierty within a radius of twenty -five miles of this city amounts to fully Sl.'st.ooo. At Coatsville the breast of the water works was Wiisini) away and the water striking the Pennsylvania Railroad, washed the tracks away for a great distant. In addition to other damages the railroad company's loss is $,.. lteiir men of the railroads centering in this city which had their tracks washed away were out all night and it was noon to-day before the trains ran on time. The l-asseiigi-j- train due here lust evening, which was caught between 4 wo wash-outs near Shamrock Station, did not arrive until this morning. Near Fritztown, this county, Isaac Wen rich's barn was struck by lightning and con sumed together with several horses, boss, W,0OH. Near Hunimelestown several repair men took refuge in a wagon shed, which was stnick, and four of them were rendered un conscious for ten hours. From all over this and neighboring counties come rejiorts of railroad wash-outs, garden vegetables and turrk being carried away. Houses and barns were struck by lightning, the fire lieing put out in many instances, and many animals drownvd in the flood. A Squirrel as a Surgeon, San Francisco Examiner. The children of James Wainwright, of Taylor street, have a little chipmunk for a h I. Not long ago the animal injured one of its fore feet by being entangled in a string of thread. The inflammation of the foot at tracted the attention of Mr. Wainwright, who found that the thread w as wound around the member. He cut the thread off but the wound did not heal and in a few days the flesh dnipied off and left the bonus CXiseil. Tim little animal then went to work and did a most remarkable thing. He bit olf or am putated the foot at what would correspond to the wrist joint. In tlie course of a few days the bone still remained uncovered be cause no provisions had been made for a flap of flesh to cover it. The chipmunk then displayed a wonderful knowledge of surgery. With his nose he turned back the flesh and bit off a piece of bone above the end of the flesh so that it projected beyond the bone. In two weeks it had healed up and looks as perfect as if a surgeon had done the work. A Texas Miser. IIksham, July 23.

A most sin gular occurrence took place at the tire day nines of the Pittsburgh company near Far raudsville, yesterday afternoon during one of tlie heavy thunder storm's that passed over this county. Lightning struck the mil mad near the entrance of tlie mine, and iu an instant the chambers were filled with the fluid. All the miners were stunned, and William Ross, the mine boss, and James Mull. Jr.. were knocked d.iwn by the stroke. They were not seriously injured, however, and soin regained consciousness again. The men who were in the mine at the time were all practical miners, and say they never knew of asiinilar occurrence tiefore. A Freight Train and a Construction Train Collide. BmoaiNirroK, III, July 2X. A construc tion train on the Chicago and Alton, on which were nearly one hundred laborers, was nm into yesterday by freight train No. 74 of that road, and the result was a dread ful smasiiup, with serious loss of life. The freight train was bound for Kansas City and met the construction train on the Oweudorii' bridge, near llopedale, twenty-live miles from Bloomington. The dead and wounded were taken to Hopewell. The rcsn.ibilty fir the accident has not been located. Death from a Spider Bite. DowMNoTowK, July Wm. Hughes, w ho was engaged In tla- fruit tree business, was bitteu by a small black spider Friday last. The insect is supHised to have been secreted in some of the foreign fruits. The wound was made on Mr. Hughes' lip. which soon oonimenced tosw'ell. On Saturday the swelling had extended to the face and down his neck. Medical aid was called in and on Tuesday the physicians were in attendance, but nothing that was done availed and on Wednesday morning he died, having suffer ed great pain. . Good Crops In Kansas. K ass as City. Mo , July 2S. Judge James Humphrey has just retimed fiom a trip over Kansas on an iiisjiectiou tour as a member of the board of Railroad commrssioiiers. In ss-aking of his trip he said that notwith standing the dry weather Kansas would have an abundant com crop.

Despatches from various points ia Illinois show that intense heat prevailed in the central part of the state yesterday. At Lincoln the mercury reached ItrJ in the shade, and several prostrations n-wrted. At Carthage the same teniicrature was reached, with one or two prostrations. At Peoria the tliemiometer reached It'W. and a number of prostrations occurred. Four will prove fatal. Note Raising Extraordinary. Lebajcix. July 2s. A woman who claim ed t be Mrs, Mats, living near Ibis city, yesterday bought -If ) worth of clothing from A. "8; Sleelumn and tendered a $lot silver note in jayment. Mr. Steelmau se cured cliange from George W. Imbodenl.of the Centra! House. The latter has uow dis covered that the note is really a 10 bill rais ed to Over the large figure "lO" a slip with "lot" hna been pasted, while in the centre and at the four comers tlie word "ten" has been erased. Tlte work is cleverly done but easily iL-licicd... Mr. Mala, who casually intimated that she hail just inherited $1.VW, has disappeared. She is about 45 years of age. This aflemiHin the woman was traced to Pine tirove, where it was found that her name was 2immriunn. hhe had pasted a similar bill there, and it found its way into hands of Agent Felty, of the Heading Rail- i road. He det;iusl it in the Pine tireve Bank, and unro the discovery that it was a doctored bill he made good the amounf with slim in gold. Mrs Zimmerman beard the otlicera were after her and in onler to escape arrest paid Mr. Imboden $1U0 in gold mon ey and 5 for expenses. Both the bogus notes were identical in appearance, and Zim merman claimed that they came from a lot tery. No arrests have been made, but the Secret Service officials are expected to take cognizance of the bold counterfeiting. Denied a Pension. Washington, D. C, July Ki. The Secreta ry of the Interior to-day denied the claim of William Hedgsjietli, ex-private in the Forty second Indiana Volunteers. The case is un uncommon one, and has been the subject of much discussion by pension officials. Hcdg spcth was captured in 1"3 and confined as a prisoner at Audersonvillc. After remaining in captivity five months he enlisted in the Confederate army, he says, to efcaic starva tion, and so informed his fellow-prisoners, adding that at the first opportunity he would desert, and if pot-siMe made his way back to his old command. After a short service in the Confederate army he carried out his in tentions, and finally reached his regiment, iu which he served until discharged. Some years ago Hedgspcth applied for a pension on the ground of disability contracted while in the Federal service. This fact was fully sus tained.
