Tiik ninft important question facing the IU-pablicans of Kentucky and Maryland, is how to get their votes counted. YkI.L, V. StoTT Ml X.I.IX has re ceived his reward. He voted for the Combine in the late State Convention and has Ihvii ajioiiited a deputy facto ry inspector. It is a potent fact to every one that. to avoid a further increase of the pul- li- ticlit bv issuiiiL' a new Wtch of BoikIs, the National Administration must increase its revenues or reduce its expenses. At the J. A. 1L IwrU-cue in old Kentucky, thev slaughtered lOo blue- grass steers, laiulM, and fat hoats. It took 7,000 gallons of burgoo soup and any amount of other things to till the multitude. The "Cuckoos'' are saying that they see no reasons why President Cleve- lanl should not have a third term. Evidently this is a feeler put out to as certain iK'inocratie sentiment.

The Judges f the Philadelphia courts propose to enhance their dignity and the d--orum of the WhIics ovt-r which they preside, by wearing gowns while oh the bench. A the Judges of the Supreme Court of the I'nilcd States, and of the Su preme Court of the Slate now wear their gow ns, there is uo reason why, except as a matter of taJc, the Com mon Picas Judges should not adopt the custom. Anything that will add to the dignity aud decorum of our court is certainly c ommendable. The cus tom of Judges wearing gowns is a wry ancient one, but has for many vears fallen into disuse in this country. Ir may not 1 generally known, but the legislature of Pennsylvania at its last ciou passed a law giving to typtvritiiig a legal status in the State. This law declares that all tyj-ew riling heretofore executed or done, aud which may !e hereafter executed or done, for any purpose whatever, shall haw the tme legal force and effect as ordinary writing, and the word "writing' oc curring in our laws shall be held to in vlude. typewriting. For instance, our statutes provide that all wills shall he iu writing. The question as to wheth er a typewritten will is a statutory will, and all other possible coutrovir ics of this nature, are avoided by this legislation.

The owning of the political cam paign has caused considerable specula- ion as to whether the recent act of as sembly, increasing the pay of election officers, would be in effect this fall. The act was passed in February, after the spring election, and consequently no matter when it leenme or is to be come operative it cannot effect election (ffieers elected last spring to serve at the November and February elections to come. The constitution provides that the pav or emoluments i tiecine tii-vii- cannot lie increased or diminished dur ing the term of office. Thus it will ! seen that neither the inspectors nor the judge, elected last February, will W al lowed the increase, though the clerks apjiointed will lienefit by the act as thev are tiot elective oftnvrs.

Itwasllic ueuicauou oi me tlefield of C'hickainauga, whose Beautiful ravines and mountainside were stream ing with nearly thirty thousand dead and wounded men thirty-two years ago. The dedication was conducted By men who, thirty-two year ng", fought in that fill strife; men w ho at that timesought each others lives: sought to increase the iloooVhed, if necessry, to w In the fight. Two generals, w ith silver-grey hair, who headed thousands of men in the affray on iposile sides, made the principal speech es at the dedication. They were General John M. Palmer and John IS. Unrdon. It isdouUful if the world ever before saw another such s-ene as was that at Chickamauga to-day. Cer tainly there never w as one more impress- ve, and at the same time more joyfully affecting. It was witnessed By not less than fifty thousand people of the North ami of the South, and at least half of tbein Mok part in that Bloody civil war of which Chickamaiiga battle was a part.

Palmer, the venera ble Senator from Illinois, w ho, thirty-two vears ago to-day, risked his life on the Battlefield, made the first dedicatory ad dress. Never in all his life, unless, per haps, w hen he was directing his men at Chickamaiiga thirty-two years ago, did he speak more earnestly. nothcr patriotic tune followed Gener al Palmer and then the Battle-scarred veteran of the Confederacy whom I AH called his "Right Arm" John IJ.

If one may judge by their sentiments and the sentiments of the thousands of Federal and Confederate veterans, who heard them, none can doubt that section alism lietween the North and South is wiped out.

Money, was then demanded from Mr. Bechtel w bo said he had none. The masked men then drew revolvers and nourished clubs which they carried, and Mr. Bechtel gave them fin. This did not satisfy them and, going through the house with the utmost delib eration, they broke open trunks and drawers, securing $22 a gold watch, two sil'.er watches and a quantity of valuable articles received by Mr. Bechtel at a birthday celebration short time ago.

The great International Cotton States exposition waa oiened on Wedneslny under the most auspicious circum stances. With the aceompanient of mil itary pomp and civic dignity the great exposition was formally opened to tho world. The parade was a brilliant one and was composed entirely of military bodies and bands of music, headed by the Cnited States Fifth Infantry and the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, followed by several regiinenta of Georgia state troops. The parade moved promptly from the starting point, at the centre of the city, at the intersection of Broad and Marietta streets, and was about an hour in tra versing the distance of three miles to the Exposition grounds, reaehingthere about l.HJ o'clock. The exercise at the anditorium were mposing and impressive. The Audi torium, though crowded, was compara tively cool, and the acoustic properties were almost perfect, so that tho speak ers could be distinctly heard in all parts of the building. President Collier receiv ed a great ovation when he arose to speak. as did Mrs. Joseph Thompson, president of the woman's hoard. The speeches were all god, and the oration by Judge Emory Speer, of the I'nitcd States court, was a profound utterance. The hit of the day was made by Booker T. Washington, the represen tative of the negro race, who, in a 20 minutes' sjieech, evoked greater ap plause than all the others put together. He deemed to havetheearof the audience. and pleased lioth whites and blacks. His speech is considered an augury of the future friendship of the races.

G KOVKR Cl.KVKl.ASI." Killed a Huge Panther. P.KM.KFONTP, Pa., Sept. 21. A huge panther, the first ono killed in Penn sylvania for many years, and one of the largest ever seen ia the Allegheny Moun tains was shot near here to-day. A Isiy telegraph operator, Charles 11. Watson, at Clarem-e station, is the heroic young hunter who brought down this royal game. It was a dangerous encounter, as the panther is the most formidable and ferocious beast that inhabits the forests of North America. Young Watson is only IS years old and left the telegraph station at Clarence, on the Beech Creek Kail road, ten miles north of here, to-day. It is located in one of the wildest sjiots of the Allegheny Mountains. Between trains the young man went into the woods to hunt squirrels'. He took With him a small dog and a double-barrel breech-loading shotgun. When almul a mile from the station the dog set up a tremendous liarking in a nearby thicket and Watson went o shoot the squirrel he sjpjiostsl had been treed. He was not prepared for the sight he met on reaching the spot. There on the ground, not a hundred feet distant, crouched a huge panther, purring like a cat and lashing S:s tail in fury at the dog. On the Is.y's approach the animal turned its attention to him. Watson has often aeen dangerous wild animals in menageries but this was quite a different meeting. However, though frightened till he trembled, he did not lose his nerve or presence of mind. Hastily taking from his gun tho squirrel shot cartridge, he slipped in one of buck shot, aud, dropping on one knee, look steady aim. He fired Just as the ani mal was in the act of springing toward him. One of the shots entered the panther's eye, penetrated the brain and killed him dead. When measure. I the panther proved to lie thirteen feet long and weighed nearly HM isiunds. It was the finest specimen of this animal ever seen or heard of in these parts, aud it was the first and, it is claimed, the only panther killed in tbe Alleghenies in twenty years. For a numlier cf years past farmers near the mountain have Been greatly troubled in having stock .carried away, and now it is supposed this was the beast that committed the depredations and was always too wild to lie taught. The body has already lieen sent to a taxidermist to be prepared and stuffed. Quiy it Back.

The drillers forgot to put iu a place of safety the sticks of dynamite not used when they stopped work yesterday at noon.
