committed, loaded down with twenty-
four amendments. One of these amend-
ments fixed the 1 rice of the lands to
be soid to actual settlers at $2 50 per
acre, the present government rate for
land in alternate sections. But the
grabbers enuld not content themselves
with the immense gains which even
this amendment could aflord them.
Their purpose was to get possession of
the lands, hold them for speculative
purposes; and compel the people of
this country to pay ten fold prices for
their own. The vote in the Pennsyl:
vania delegation on the bill stood as
follows : :
Yeas: Armstrong, Cake, Covode,
Dickey, Kelley, Morrell, Myers, Neg
ley, O'Neill and Townsend—10,
‘Nays: Donley, Getz, Haldeman
Randall. Stiles and Taylor—6.
Absent : Gilfillan, Cessna, Mercur,
Packer, Phelpsand Woodward—6.
It will be thus seen that net a demo
erat from Pennsylvania recorded his
vole in favor of this monstrous scheme
to seize the lands of the people. The
ten affirmative votes from the State
were all given by radicals, Among
the affirmative voles the name of Mr.
Dickey, of Lancaster, will be ohserved.
The newspapers of that district, an’
Mr. Dickey, himself, we understand,
were very indignant at what they de-
nmunced as a scheme to rob the Sinking
Fund of this State. Without stopping
just pow to defend that measure, Wwe
ask Mr, Dicky and his radical friends
to compare it just for one moment with
this operation to steal an empire in ex-
tent from the people. The comparison
will be quite interesting.”

We did not think to revert to this
subject again, but a contemporary, with
an unusual amount of political dust at |
hand, seeks to rescue the Honorable |
gentleman from public censure, and
drown his shortcomings in a swolen
creek. It says Mr. Armstrong was
“paired ;” and to add force to the pair-
ing, he was “paired with Archer!” Is
it possible? It's not every man who
could get paired with Aveher of Mary-
land, for be it known that one of the
strongest arguments advanced against
Archer's election, was that he was nev-
er in his place when the interests of his
constituents most required it. And it
may be added that the argument has
been most thoroughly sustained by
Archer's proverbial absence from Can-
: It was, therefore, a capital hit
Mr. Armstrong made in pairing with
Archer, who never made a speech in
Congress, on the tariff’ question, and
for that matter, upon any other. But,
onr contemporary triumphantly ex-
claims:
“During his absence from Washing:

At five minutes to five o'clock the jury

they came into the room the officers of the

Three Men Suffocated.
[From the Pittsbur, Post. 12 inst]
Last evening, about six o'clock, a most
frightful and horrible secident eecurfed in
Ormsby borough, just beyond the limits of
East Brimingham, by which three men lost
their lives, and two others barely escaped
similar fate,
THE ACCIDENT
Occurred on the premises of Mathias Wil-
helm, Sen. Mr. Wilhelm had for some
time been engaging wu well to be used as a
privy vault, which he completed yesterday.
The new vault is contiguous to one that has
been in use for many years and separated |
therefrom some eighteen inches, It is sup-
posed he went down into the new vault
about six o'clock last evening, for the pur.
pose of tapping the old one. This he did,
and while teying to make his escape up an
ordinary rung ladder, was suffocated by
the mephitic gas, and fell back into the
rapidly filling cess-pool,
Mrs. Wilhelm happened to notice the
accident within a moment of its occurrence,
and raised the neighborhood with her’
screams, Her son, Mathins Wilhelm, Jr,
was the first to reach the place, and started
down the lndder to rescue his father. The
moment he reached the same place on the
ladder from which his father had tallen—
abeut eight feet from the bottom ofthevault,’
he seemed to lose all physical powér, ‘und
fell headlong inte the recking abyss of
death below,
By this time a large number of people
had gathered to the spot attracted by .the
cries of the woman and children in the
neighb srhood. Mr. Jumes Mooney, who
kept a saloon on the opposite side of the
street, started down the ladder to rscue the
two Wilhelms and he in turn was suffoca-
ted and fell from the ladder and of course
lost his life. As the crowd increased every
one seemed anxicus to rescue those who
were in the deadly vaalt below.
THE NEXT MAN
Togo down was Richard Mackey, who,
when he reached the fatal rung, fell like
the other three, but fortunately lodged be-
tween the ladder and the wall and was res-
cued, although life was seemingly extines,
and it was almost an hour befo'e he was
res ored to consiousness. In effecting his
rescue he received a very serious wound
in the right thigh, inflicted by the grapnels
that were used, ss well as several very se-
vere wounds in the back by the fall.
AND YET ANOTHER
was willing to risk his lite in this case of
life and death
PATRICK HARVEY
an old man who lived in the family of
Mooney, the saloon keeper, first takingihe
precaution af having a rope tied around
his waist, descended intolthe gulf of death,
and was drawn up, fortanately, in time to
save his life—but only in time. He was
able to be abont at ten o'clock last night.
| Mackey’ it is thought, will recover.
THE DECEASED
were drawn out of the vault at about half
past seven o'clock last night with grappling
irons, and their remains properly prepared
for intefmrent, and removed to their respe-
tive homes, where they await the action of
the Coroner this morning.
The elder Wilhelm was abeut fifty-five
years of nge and is survived by his wife
and four children,
AFEECTING INCIDENT.
When the two Wilhelms were brought to
surface the father was clasped in the arms,
ofthe son, showing that the ruling passion is
indeed strong in death, Dropping as young
Wilhelm did under the influence of
asphyxia into the fatal vault, his last and
only desire seemed to be, as it was, the res.
cue of his parent, and he clasped him with
that intent in the last throes of death.

Admonished by the lateness of the
hour, I find I must be brief. IZlified
as I have been by the gentleman's
speech, 1 must still deny that the col-
oved man owes any man in this coun-
‘try anything ; ha owes Abraham Lin
coln nothing ; he ewes God everything.
TF was at both the eonv: tion that nom-
‘inated Mr. Lincoln.—No man there
ever intended to give you your free-
dom. We made you free rather than
be slaves ourselves, When we gave
you th cartridze box we did not mean
to # ve you the ballot box. ven An-
lrew Johnson was amsinstrument in the
hands of Providence. He was indeed
your political Moses. Men and events.
compelled us to give you everything
‘we did give yomw— Lhe North will rise
up to kick you down. The South
loves you and there will be your homes.
‘The Democracy nowhere objects to the
shape of your nose, the length of your
heels, or the odor from: your bedies.
I'he ballot has straightened your nose,
cut off your heels and made you sweet
as the fragrance of roses. Now, let me
say, if the Republican party presents
you a corrupt man, dont vote for him.
‘Hew him down before the Lord. Don’t
‘eonsider pasties. You. will choose

cause they axe men. From: being
horses, chattles and jackasses, you
have suddenly become men. Pursue
that course aul do your own voting.

The ancient wea'th and opulencelof Tyre
came principally from its purple dye.
About fifteen hundred yeare before Christ,
it is said, the King of Phoenicia was so
captivated with the color that he made it
his greatest ornament, and Tyrian purple
thus beeame an emblem of royalty. Inthe
time of Augustus, a pound of wool dyed ut
Phoenicia was worth about a hundred and
fifty dollars, The purple was obtained
from a small vessel or sac in the throat of
the shell-fish, to the amount of obout one
drop from each; animal. At first, it isa
eolorless liquid, but, by exposure to the air
and the bright sunlight of the Tyrian
coast, it assumes successfuly a citro, yellow,
green, azure, red, and, in the course of
forty eighthours, a brilliant purple hue.
The color, besides its great brillianey, is
also remarkable for its curabilit;. Plutarch
says, in his Life of Alexandria, that, at the:
taking of Susa, the Greeks found, in the
royal treasury of Darius, a quantity of
purple cloth at the value of five thousand
“ta ents, which still retained its beauty,
although it had lain there nearly two hun-
dred years. ‘The color resists the action of
all alkalies and mest acids,

Eraur Hour Law Apoprrep.—Among
the mere important acts passed by the-New

It provides eight hours tobethe legal meas-

ing thoseengagea in farm: and domestic
labor; but overwork for extra compensa-

employees ia permitted. The Governor, in
a proclamation enjoins: upon ail officers

sons affected. by it may be protected, and
that a full and fair oppertunity may be

«Nor Guirty,’, answered the foreman
in aloud voice,
In the language of the old-tiine repor-
torial fraternity, “the scene that followed
beggared description.” Every spectator
sprang to his feet. The women alternately
waved their hankerchiefs and wiped their
eyes. Some of them sobbed aloud. The
cheering was so loud and long that it was

Mr. Graham was soovercome with emotion
that for some minutes he was unable to
speak. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and
he buried his face in his hands and wept
like a child. MecFarlund, no longer a
prisoner, was at once surrounded by his
friends, and cengratulated in his geod for-
tune A score of ladies rushed forward
and repeatedly kissed him. One old lady
hissed him a dozen times. He stood all
this “like a man,” and returned his thanks”
for the sympathy which had been so gener-
ously accerded hin
“1 knew it, I knew it,”’ cried one woman
as she imprinted a kiss on McFarland's
cheek. “I knew it—Iknew it—I1 knew’ —
but before she could explain what it wasshe
was pushed aside by another of her sex, who
was determind,. if the kissing was going to:
be generad, to: have a lip.or two in herself.
So great was the joy of the ladies overthe
verdict that they made an attack on Mr.
Graham, and many ofthem kissed him.
For some time he was hardly able to speak-
and was obliged to reecive these manifesta-
tions of regard in silence. After a while
he said to several old ladies who eongratu-
lated him on the success of his efforts,
“Well, I can only say that T am proud to
know that my course lms met the approval
of the ladies When anian gets in between
man'and wife, and destroys their happiness
as Richardson did, he deserves to be shot.
That's the only law for such a case. I've
always said so, and always shall. There
can be no other law than that for such a
case,’’
Fo seme othors he saith “BF canassure you
that T feel proud to receive your thuulks
and congratulations. I am prouder than I
would be if you were gentlemen. I can
only say that I ain proud for having pleased
the ladics, and L hepe that B shall: always
be able to please them: on all such ocea-
sions.’
A woman approached the jurors before
they left their seats after renderingthe ver-
dict, and shook hands with each of them.
She ‘God blessed’ them all, and assured
them that tliey had done thenoblest act of
their lives. The jurors returned their
thanks, and their enthusiastic admirer re-
