TfESD.W MOUSING, FEB. 20, ?.
A PROPOSED NEW PARTY.
It is the highest iltttr of every Gov
trnment, and of all political parties,
to throw ample protection around la.
bor, and to render the laboring classes
M liHppy, contentrd and prosperous as
possible. A nation that does not fos
ter labor cannot expect to compete for
standing or position with such that do.
It has tieen a leading idea of the great
and progressive Republican party of
the United States, to advance the inter
ests of the Working people, to equalize
wealth so far as possible, and maKe
general the advantages derivable from
our trco institutions. The record of
that party in these directions is good,
and it is for this reason that the masses
of the laboring people of the land, es
pecially those possessed of intelligence
nd discrimination, are found enrolled
in its ranks, h is not saying much to
assert that the working and middle
classes of no other country in tho
broad world ore as well off and com
fortable as hero in the United States,
where labor is commensurately award
ed and no liue of caste is drawn.' Yet
there are demagogues who are never
satisfied to leave well-enough alone,
and who seite upon every possible
hobby present to ride into power, place
or notice on the shoulders of those
whom they can deceive into taking
stock in their peculiar and hvpocriti
ml notions. Every once and awhile
an exhibition of this truth is afforded
in movements started by soft handed
charlatans to disturb the relationship
between the working masses and capi
talists, and to win the influence of the
former from the ruling political party,
in order to fritter it away in glorifying
designing men who have their true in
terests far from their hearts. No
great object! n can well be made
against orde.ly combinations having
the independence and honest remuner
ation nf labor in view, fur, with or
without such association, work is worth
its full value and should receive it.
But it is quite a different matter fur
laborers to erect an agrarian platform
and enter the political arena with the
aplc, but impracticable purpose of dis
turbing i he social system of the coun
try, and effecting a revolution in the
existing condition of society. Such a
movement is full of danger and can
never accomplish that for which it
aim j, for, as the world was regulated
in the past, so is it in the present and
so it will be in the future, notwithstand
ing the efforts of those bent on accom
plishing a revolution. The Interna
tionalists have fully demonstrated the
folly, if not the wickedness of such
Attempts to secure a re distribution of
worldly goods. They never have and
never will accomplish more by their
efforts than to bring about bloody re
sults, suffering and degradation to
theiusl ve8 and the cause of labor. Here
iu this country frequent attempts have
been made to establish a political par
ty on the sole basis of labor, the lead
ers ignoring the fact that there are
many national questions affecting se
riously the best interests of the work
ing classes which enter into the princi
ples espoused by the Republican rmrty.
Kob the country of the tariff, and
where wou'd the prosperity of t le peo
ple come from, even if a Labor party
heM the reins of government? Iu the
United States, to day, laborers have
full share and voice in the govei nment
of national and local affairs, just as
much as the bond-holding millionaires,
and more so, for they largely prepon
derate iu uunibers. " They need no in
dependent reform party so long as
their influence iu that way would be
nothing, while it is great if they throw
their weight into the scale of the polit
ical organization that has already ac
complished so much for their welfare
Holding such views it seems to us like
the height of ridiculousness fr any
respectable number of laborers to
hold such a convention as that pro
posed to be held in Columbus, Ohio,
on the 21st inst., to erect a new party
ou the single platform of labor, and
to place candidates in nomination for
the highest ffices within the gift of
the people. The movement can ac
complish nothing. It may create had
fecliug between capitalists and labor
ers, and dis'urb social relations now
existing, but it wiil do no more. It
is full of rush folly, and none are more
aware of the fact than the political
demagogues who are leaders in it.

We clip the following items from

The first negro jurors ever drawn to
serve at a Venaniro County Court are
on tne list tor the ol Monday in March,
next. They are J. W. Henrv and
Reuben Smith. We publish the fact
tin a matter of history.
Thomas Perinell and Wm. Carter
were severely burned on Monday by a
g-is explosion at a well ou Cherry Hun,
near Slmmburg. Tho gas vein had
just been struck and it communicated
with tjie engine fire. The rig wasr to
tally destroyed.
Joseph Sweeny, nine years old, son
of Patrick Sweeny, was drowned in
the river ut Oil City on Saturday last
by falling through the ice while skut
ng. As young Sweeny found himself
going down he called for help from a
boy near him, who caught his hand
and fd1 into the water with him, but
mcceded in pelting nut. The unfortu
nate Iu4 was not takcu out for half a

The following items are from the
Greenville Argu$:
Sharon, prospectively, is to have
two new railroads. One ii to be a
narrow guage from Cleveland, and the
other is to be a branch of the James
town, Ashtabula and Franklin road
from Andover to Hubbard, where it
will divide into two forks, one going
to Sharon end the other to Youngs
town, O.
The house of Henry McLellan iu
'Vashington township, Erie countv,
burned down on the morning of the
6th, and Mr. McLellan perished in the
flames. He was s venty.fi ve years of
age. ine other inmates had barely
time to esrapo, and thought at that
moment that the old gentleman had
got out. They soon, however, saw him
through the flames, but could not res
cue him.
Four bnya while returning from
school on the road between Columbus
ami Sugar Grove on Friday last, un
dertook to sen how many timet they
could cross the track of the A. & O.
V. Railway before the train which
was coming rapidly, being several
hours behind trine, sluuld catch them.
One loy named St. John was struck
bv the engine and his skull broken,
lie died at eleven o'cloca in the even
ing. The following items are from the
Venango Citizen :
Martin fc Epley and D.tlc A Plum
er are making preparations to erect
brick block on Liberty street. Brig
ham & McGotigh, a.id J din L.
Mitchell are ready to build on 13th
street, on lot adjoining Brigham A
McCough's Block. They propose to
have their block completed by July
1st.
Active preparations are being made
to commence building as soon as the
wheather will permit. More buildings
will be erected the coming year in this
city, than for five years past. Many
wealthy and prominent oil men from
different parts of the oil regions, are
negotiating property on which to erect
residences, having determined to make
this citv their home.
On, Corry, Corky ! Pain, of the
Corry Blade, in taking a western tour,
passed through Fort Wayne. Iud.,and
this is how it struck him : v"-
Fort Wayne has a population of
17,718; is the county scat and situat
ed at the confluence of the St. Mary and
St. Jo. rivers, which form the Maumee;
is the railroad center of five railroads ;
and has the locomotive Works of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
railroad, together with its car and re
pair shops, which occupy five acres of
ground, has seven large brick build
in irs and gives regular employment to
1,000 men. Besides these, it has sev
eral factories; and when 1 see how
much railroads do for a city wheu that
city aids them, I am tempted to &ny
"Oh, Corry, Corry 1 why in h 11 don't
yon wake up and do something for
yourself?"
Another fatal accident occur
red at the scene of the late railroad
disaster below this place. A gravel
train was sent to gather up the debris
of the burnt cars. A derrick was on
one of the cars, and as portions of the
wreck were vcrv heavy, it was chained
to the t.ack. The strain became so
hard as to break the chain, ami cause
the car to fly from the track and roll
down the hank. Three men were at
the crank when the chain broke, one
of whom, Michael Geary, was shot in
to the air like a rocket, going over the
telegraph wire and falling upon the
iron remaius of the burned cars one
piece running through his body, cans
ing aim oat instant death. The other
two, Patrick Marshall and John Mc
Laughlin, rolled over the bank with
car, both receiving severe but not fatal
injuries. Geary leaves a wife and sev
en children. His remains were buried
at Lock Haven.--Lock Haven Repub
lican. The Horrisliurg State Journal of
Monday says: One id' the strangest
freaks of nature that has ever come to
our knowdedge was related to us last
evening, by a gentleman of veracity
residing in this city. Charles Beard
is or was, a colored man, having a
verv dark skin. He recently had a
severe attack of small pox, and in
consequence of the scaling process
produced by the disease, be now pre
sents a fine white skin, delicate and
fair as that of an infant. Whether
this strange appearance will remain so
for the remainder of his life is, of
course, a questioi. for physiologists to
decide. But time will explain the
matter satisfactorily.
The Corry Blade of Tuesday says :
Yesterday Mr. Alfred Lindsay, a
young man living in Concord, went to
Spring Creek on a hunt, and while
standing with his left hand over the
muzzle of his gun, and his right arm
across it, the guu was discharged, the
ball passing through the hand and en
tering the other arm at the wrist, fol
lowing it toward the shoulder. Dr.
r helps was eeni lor, ana ou examining
the wounds, toiind the hand badly mu
tilated. The forefinger and part of
the han i bad to be amputated. The
ball, in passing up the arm, shuttered
tho bone so that about a dozen pieces
were taken out; the hall was split in
pieces and taken out iu email frag
ments. We yesterday received a telegram
from Faguudus stating that a new
eighteen thousand barrel iron tank,
belonging to the Beaty Farm Oil Com
pany, burnt on Tuesday night. It was
being tested with water at the time,
and the iron was completely torn away
from ita foundation. It is now a per
fect wreek. Tbe loss is estimated at
about ten thousand dollar- IIcraH.
The trial of Marlow, the Brewery
murderer, at Mayville, N. Y., resulted
in a verdict of guilty and the prisoner
was sentenced to be hanged on the 29th
of March. Prisoner's counsel moved
for a new trial. If the sentence ie
carried out the execution will take
place at Mayville. Mrs. Artman, Mar
low's mother in-law, ewore that she
committed the murder herself, as on
the previous trial, but the jury didn't
believe her.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The "Presidential year" Is always a
reading year with the American people.
It Imposes extraordinary duties on jour
nals from which the people may usual
ly expect not only the news of the day,
but intelligent discussion nf public ques
tions and enunciation of opinions. While
this is true in a general sense tho year be
foro us Is likulv, a political sense, to be
one or unusual Interest; the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there are Indica
tions of alliances and purposes altogether
novel in our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted iu almost an un
broken series of Republican victories.
General Gi ants administration has receiv
ed the nniiiivnca! indorsement of the
American eoile; and Ihern is every In
dication now that, as the Republican can
didate, he will l re-elected President. As
an Independent Republican Paper tho
CoMMKitciAL will In the future, as In the
Iiast, render an undeviating suponrt to
tepnbllcsn Principles, holding that the
good of the Republic requires that tho
Government should remain in the hands
of the party that saved it in the great lile
or death struggl . In the future as in tho
past it will speak Its own views regarding
men ami 111 asures, holding that llironuh
free discussion only can safe conclusions
bo reached and the Independence of the
press preserved. In this ret-ard we can
say simply that the Commkiiciai. will be
true to itself and its established character.
As a Newspaper, nothing will be spared
to maintain the Hisition which the Com
mkiiciai. has alwavs held among the lead
ing Journals of the rtav, for news enter
prise as well as for independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad, will bn
full of Interest. European illlics are
agitated, anil tho American reader will
likely tind mil, h In them to attract his at
tention. At home all is life and piirh.
Railroads are being constructed every
where; new projects are almost dally pro
claimed ; H)pii,aliou is increasing; inter
prise intelligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and the prospect for the
