TURIECOATS FOR THE SAKE OF
OFFICE.
It must be a source of peculiar satisfaction
to those who for long years have persistently,
if not consistently and wisely, opposed:the
National Democracy, to observe the avidity
with which the Black Republican, or Union,
or People's Party, call it which you will,
seeks to regard 'the few recruits from the
Democratic ranks, who have joined their hy
brid organization. Those who have borne
the burthen and heat of the day in opposing
the Democracy, ari cornpelled to stand aside
to give place and position to every renegade
who chances to be kicked out of our ranks as
unsound. To have been a Democrat, and to
have deserted from the ranks of that party,
is a sufficient recommeddation for Black Re'.
publican honors. Itlmust, indeed, be a bit
ter pill to the Old Line Whigs, the Anti-Ma
sons, the Abolitionists, and the Straight
Americans, to see such men as Gov. Reeder
occupying the chief seat in their State Con
vention, and such men as John M. Read re
ceiving its chief nomination. These men
who have had a temporary prominence in the
Democratic party, have " with all their im«
pe - tfections thick upon their heads," been
warmly welcomed and most highly honored
by those who have all their lives opposed
t them. , Morton McMichael, a consistent Old
Line Whik, stands forth in a State Conven
tion and congratulates Ex• Gov. Reeder, of
Kansas„ that "he has come out from among
the foal party," and in the next breath an
nounces on the authority of Henry Carey,
Esq., of Philadelphia, that John M. Read is
no longer an ultra Democratic free trade of
fice seeker, but is "sound on the tariff," and
_ Bucher Swope and Lemuel Todd say "amen.'
The picture is a strange one, which the op
position party presents. Not only upon their
State ticket, • but upon very many of the coun
ty tickets throughout the State, we find rene
gade-Democrats adopted as,Republican lead_
ers. Oar party - is glad to be clear of these
men. In the game of politics, they have long
been in the " nine _holes," where " honors
don't count," and they' ave made a last des
perate play. to "secure the game." They
will be beaten, for the people—the rank and
file of the National Democratic party—have
long known that this kind of men were influ
enced by ambition for personal' position and
desire for official emolument alone, and, this
fall, will by an united vote for the Democratic
ticket, give these office seeking renegades the
reward they merit. If the opposition mon
key intends to make use of the Democratic
voters as a cat's paw to poke the official chest
nuts out of the fire, he will be most beauti
fully singed in the operation.
TARIFF RESOLUTION.
In our report of the Union Convention at
Harrisburg, we inadvertently omitted to note
the resolution upon the subject of the Tariff,
which was adopted by the convention. It
was in the following words :
A'esolved, That the revenue necessary for a
judicious and economical administration of the
Government should be raised by the imposition
of duties upon foreign imports and in laying
them. Such discriminating protection should
be given as will secure the rights of free labor
and American Industry.
We think the opposition will scarcely be
able to raise an issue for the campaign upon
such an exceedingly moderate effort at pro
tection as this resolution indicates.
Mandamus Case---Friday's Procesdlngs
Mr. Williams presented a return and a
demnrerr to the writ of mandamus issued on
the citation of Joseph Thomas, a bondholder,
against the County of Allegheny. The Court
overruled the demurrrer. Mr. Harding moved
for a perempory mandamus against the county
commissioners on account of the insufficient
return filed by them.
The Court ordered that the motion for
peremptory mandamus be heard at Pittsburgh
on the 28th day of October next, and that
the Commissioners have leave to amend and
perfect their return.
Coming up the Bay.
The Telegraphic Cable was not at the la
test dates within forty miles of shore as re
ported, by brother Bigham of the Journal.
Oar cable friend should have hesitated before
he attempted to electrify a concert crowd or
shock the public with premature. reports.
Having obtained at some cost full reports
of the Mandamus case at Harrisburg, for the
Post, including the opinion of Chief Justice
Lowry, it would be but honorable when ap
propriated by the Chronicle to give proper
credit. It was perhaps an oversight in our
cotemporary.
Democrats desirous of having their names
announced as candidates for office before the
Democratic Convention, must pay in advance
if they wish insertion in this paper. Also
persons desiring the publication of tickets
for the amusement or consideration of the
the public fail in the desired circulation
unless accompanied with the money.

•
A correspondent from Kirtland, Ohio, gives
the following. His letter dates from a small
township situated in Lake County, about
twenty miles east of Cleveland. The town
is somewhat celebrated for being the first set
tlement of Joe Smith and his followers in
the,United States. The population about the
year 1834-5 was nearly five thousand—most.
ly of the Mormon faith; now it has not far
from fifteen hundred, very few of whom claim
allegiance to believe in the doctrines of the
" Latter Day Saints," as promulgated by
Brigham Young. He says_: .
Hare the Mormons laid out streets, highways,
city lots, built steem-mills, large " blocks" for
stores, shops, &0., and made all the prepara
tions necessary for building up a "City of Zi
on." Here, too, they erected a temple, on which
is inscribed " House of the Lord, built by the
Church of the Latter Day Saints, A. D., 1834,"
and which stilt stands, not as ono on a sure
foundation, but as one upon the quicksands of
superstition, biogotry, and fanaticism, which the
winds of religious liberty, good order, and mor
al sociality are fast blowing to decay.
The original internal arrangements of this
temple were rather interesting to the visitor.—
The building is two stories high, of twenty-six
feet each, having a large attic; each story had
four pulpits, or priestly desks, at either end, one
rising above and in rear of the other, and indi
cating by certain letters in front the official char
acter of the priests. In the centre, the seats for
the multitude were arranged much like those in
our churches at the present day, except that
they were moveable, eo that the congregation
might face either east or west, (the pulpits being
at the east.nd west ends.)
Overhanging the audience were four curtains
on rollers, so situated that when unrolled the
house would be divided into four equal compart
ments, each having a speaker, and each speaker
having a similar ecreeri or rop curtain to ex
clude his appearance from three-fourths of the
house and congregation.
The attic ran divided into four compartments
for schools, designed to teach"the Hebrew lan
guage. A celebrated Hebrew scholar, named
Seizes", a gentleman to whom the Rev. r. Stew
art often referred far Hebrew authority, had at
times a very flourishing school among the Saints.
In this place Brigham Young lived, at one
time a Methodist preacher,
and was converted
(or professed to be) to the faith of. the Saints,
and became one of their priests.
Dr. Boyington, the geologist, who has been
employed by the Government, was one of their
number, distinguished among the people of Zion
as a teacher and preacher to the chosen ones.
The Association in a short timebecame unpop . -
ular ; trials and persecution from the "Gentile"
world led some to abandon their faith, but tho
largenwortion left with their leader; Joe Smith,
for Missouri, about twenty years since; and
nearly the only evidence of their former prosper
ity, or I might say, habitation here, is the " Tem
ple," now fast crumbling to decay, on the bro
ken and shattered walls of which the names o
thousands upon thousands of visitors are writ
ten, soon to pass into obsourity and to be num
bered with the things that were. The mills,
shops and stores, and many of the dwellings are
decayed, torn down, or unoccupied. There yet
stands, however, a large unoccupied three story
house, - known as the "Boston House," built.by
twoyaaiden ladies converted to the Mormon faith.
Whether they have gone to find husbands in the
promised land, or live a life of. celibacy, or have
been called to that unknown country which all
must occupy, your correspondent is not inform

American Wine-Making.
Grape culture, which is rapidly extending in
the West, promises to become an immense source
of national wealth. In Ohio wine-making—
thanks to the energy, industry, and capital of
Mr. Lou gworth—has become an institution there,
yielding a great return for the money invested.
Nor is it alone in Ohio that the cultivation of
the vine, and the conversion of the juice into
wine is in progress. All over the mid-West it
is proceeding. Missouri, in particular, promis
es well in this respect. And in Pennsylvania,
where the climate seems adapted for the growth
of the vine, a great deal of wine of various de
scriptions is made and largely consumed.
Various descriptions of wine are made in this.
country, particularly Rhein-wine and Cham
pagne. Of the purity, flavor, and goodness of
our, native wines, we have never heard any doubt
expressed by those who have used them. Their
character being established why do they not en
percede imported wines ? Because too high a
prioe is put upon them . Take champagne for
example. The retailing price of a basket of
" Heidsick" is $l4, and the ordinary price at
hotels and restaurants is $2 peg, bottle. The price
of Catawba Champagne made- in Ohio, is also
$l4, a dozen, and is sold at $2 a single bottle.—
Untaxed as it is, American Champagne could be
retailed at $1 a bottle, where the "foreign" sells
for $2. The profit at this price to restaurants,
bars, and hotels would be less than on the for
eign, but this would soon be made up by a great
er aggregate of profits on the greatly increased
sales which might be anticipated.
The Ohio wine-producers have hitherto stood
much in their own light by standing out with
theiciantaxed wines against those imported from
Europe . That policy we fear will not be lightly
abandoned. We cen not immediately look for
any considerable reduction in the price of Ohio
wines. " But time at last sets all things even,"
and it will provide at no very- remote day, for
this very reduction:which welnow retommend.—
Hundreds and hundreds of German •cultivator,"
tillers of vineyards and makers of wine—th rough
the West year after year, and these will bring
down the price of American wine& Where capital
and individual enterprise have created a monop
oly, increase of population. bringing an immense
quantity of wine into the market, will reduce
the price.
The Lidandeau Ship Canal.
The bill to inoorporate "The River St. Clair
and Two Creeks Ship Canal Company," has
passed a second reading in the Canadian Parlia
ment. At the head of the corporatiors are Hon.
John Prince, Arthur Rankin, Hon. Mr. Dickson
etc. The sot proposes that the canal shall be
completed within twelve years, after the
passage of the act, so as :to be navigable for ves
sels drawing twelve feet of water ; otherwise
the charter is to be null and void. The capital
stook of the company is to be $4,000,000, ex
clusive of all real estate, The canal is to con
nect the waters of the River St. Clair, at or
near Baby's point, with the waters of Lake Erie
at the Two Creeks in the township of Romnoy,
in Bent County.
AS INTERESTII7O DISCOVERY.—Vie see instat
ed, upon what may be considered reliable au
thority, that 80,000 Christians have recently
been found upon an island north of the Celebes.
It has -been rumored for a time, that there was
there a Christian people, forgotten and forsaken
which however yet possessed three bibles, and
continued steadfast in the faith. When mission
aries first landed on the island, they met a school
teacher and his pupils, who repeated in the Ma
layan tongue, " As the heart panteth after the
water-brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, 0
Lord." No Bibles were found, but the most
precious promisls of the bible written upon the
bark of tree. 1 hey knew the Apostles' Creed,
and the Heidlebel3 Catechism, and had Christian
customs. Twenty churches and sohools yet ex
isted. Through the instrumentality of pastor
Heldring, founder of the Magdalen asylum at
Steenbeck, and ohief patron of Inner Missions
in. Holland, four tzdasionaries, who had been
educated tinder theyenerable Gosver, were sent
out, and 3,000 persons baptized.
This is oertainlya most interesting discovery.
The island on whicb these Christians were found
belong to the Bast Indian Archipelago. The
Dutch have for years had pOiticalrnle in this
region. This may amk nnt for the original intro
dvotion of chrlstianity ongst this people and
o tm
for tho fact that the H dleberg Catechism was
still found in their posesgion. But still the par-,
tioular time and circumstances in which this in
troduction took place may well challenge special
attention, and elicit investigation from those
who have the leisure and facilities for present

Letter from Lake Superior.
City of Superior as a Watering Place —Climate—
Seeneryard Times --Ezourssons —=.Steamers
—Lawsuit in Gelation to Superior Cuy, fie.
Crnr or SUPERIOR, July 1, 1868.
MESSRS. EDITOES . observe frdtiuently in
the Ledger complaints of the intense heat, and
sundry notices of, various watering places, and
other places of slimmer, retreat. Now, I must
say that, in my travels, I have met with no wa
tering place to siiipass the city of Superior.
Situated at the head of Lake Superior, in lati
tude 46 deg. 38 min., we are the furthest north
ern watering place in this country, and present
greater advantages for the restoration of health
and purity of atmosphere thkat any other place
In this country. A healthier region does not
exist; here the common diseases of mankind are
comparatively unknown. There is great need of
farmers around here, and they aro rapidly pre-
empting government lands in our neighborhood.
I am happy to add that the "hard times" has
starved out and driven away most of the idle
vagabonds and speculators, who were too lazy to
improve their claims, or even to raise a crop of
potatoes with the hoe. The good times aro
coming, when men farm and let speculation
alone. There is a charming excursion np the
St. Louis river, daily, to the town of Fond du
Lac, a distance of about twenty - Awe miles, in
the steamer Seneca.
Now, some say how do you get to the city of
Superior ? ThPy look on the maps, and wonder
if steamers can sail from Lake Huron into Supe
rior. Well, there is a magnificent ship canal
in the St. Marys river, between these lakes, and
it takes about three quarters of an hour to pass
through this work, and then it is plain sailing to
our city. The test route from Philadelphia is
'via the Pennsylvania Central Railroad to Cleve
land, Ohio. Ask for a through ticket, the price
is only $l3. The "lightning express," at 1
o'clock, P. M., is the best train. You reach
Pittsburgh about 3 o'clock, A. M., rest several
hours, and reach Cleveland about S o'clock P.
M. There pat your baggage on a steamer, (they
are near the depot) and engage state rooms, and
you have several hours to look around Cleveland,
for the steamers sail punctually at 8 o'clock, P.
M. The splendid low-presure steamers North
Star, City of Cleveland, Northern Light, Iron
City, Illinois, eto., sail everyday or two from
Cleveland—some of them with aband of music.
Charles Desilver, of Philadelphia, le the publish
er df the Wisconsin and Lake Superior Guide
Books.
I must caution all persons from mistaking the
City of Superior for Superior City. Superior
City consists of -about 160 acres, and has been
in dispute for the past four years; the Govern
ment has never issued patents to any of the
claimants. Each party erected buildings and
have persons living there. The land on which
the City of Superior is located has been paid for
at least four years ago, and the patents received.
We received our city charter from the Wisconsin
Legislature a few days ago. We have over 360
buildings, four churches, a light-house, land
office, etc , etc., and polled a vote for James Bu
chanan of about 197 votes. The times are aw-
ul hard, but our people are turning their atteu-
tion now to agriculture, improving property,
etc. We have a road to the Mississippi, and
will, by next year, take all the Pombiaa and
Red river fur trade from St. Paul. We have
uninterrupted navigation to Europe, on immense
baok country, a land grant of 1,000.000 acres to
build our railroads, etc. SUPERIOR.
For tho Pittsburgh Post
Mr. Editor :—ln an obscure corner of the Ga
zette, of July the 14th, is an article purporting
to set forth the position of the Democratio par
ty of this county.
The article says: "That meanest of all mean
parties, the locofooc, have set out in Butler coun
ty to break doWn the schools. They have as
sumed to be the champions of ignorance there,
and having held a convention at Butler, in which
fourteen townships were represented, they, on
Monday last, made nominations," &o.
Now, if the editors of the Gazette did not
know that the above is a glaring falsehood, they
are too ignorant to be jonrnalists ; and if they
did know, then they are' too dishonest to fill so
important a station.
The head man in this county in the anti-school
movement—the man who wrote and obtained the
moat names to the petition that was sent to the
late legislature—the man who has been amus
ing the people with his anti-school articles, ss
published in the Butler American, is the iden
tical man who, in 1856, amused the editors of the
Gazette with his ribaldry against James Buchan
an.
It is true that the anti-school citizens had a
convention and nominated a ticket. But the
convention had no referenca to party politios,for
it was composed of all parties; and which par
ty had the most representatives I am unable to
say. One thing is certain—that the convention
was Democratic is a gratuitous assumption of
the Gazette, and shows the mean" course they
are willing to adopt to cast odium ou the Dem
ocratic party, when all other weapons by Which
they can carry on a manly warfare, have failed
them.

Afternoon TelegrapAn Report..
The Lo.yLog of the Telegraph Cable.
BOSTON, July 17.—The letters received from
the telegraph fleet furnish the fallowing particu
lars : Tho Niagara and Agamemnon experienced
most violent southerly gales from the 'day they
left Plymouth, and were driven as far north as
latitude 64, much higher than the rendezvous,
thus delaying their operation several days.
The Niagara behaved in all respects as a thor
ough sea going vessel, and was none the worse
for the storms.
The Agamemnon,. on the contrary, suffered
very severely; so much so, that at one time her
commander informed the first mate that he had
no hopes of saving his vessel two hours longer,
so great was the straining. But the storm sub •
sided, and eho rode out the gal?.
A most unfortunate accident occurred on
board, however, caused by the breaking loose
of the connections which held'the cable in its
position on the gun deck. The cable got adrift,
and was pitched about the deck, doubtless much
to its damage. Two hundred tons of ooal also
got adrift on the same deck, and caused infinite
trouble. Tho seamen were injured by these ac
cidents, one of them having an arm and the
other a leg broken. The two vessels and their
tenders finally arrived on the ground, and on the
morning of the 26th nit. a connection of the
cable was effected, the weather being then suffi
ciently calm. The paying out had scarcely com
menced before the wire snapped, and after a few
hours detention another splice was made and
the steamers started, the Agamemnon and her
consort for Ireland, and the Niagara and her
companion for the American coast. Signals
were kept up between the two vessels constant
ly, a message being transmitted every fifteen
minutes. All was going on well, till about forty
miles had been paid oat, when the elect:Mane on
board the Niagara disccvered that the circuit
was broken. This was at half-past twelve o'clock
A M., on the 27th. The Niagara was imme
diately put about, and had reached the mid-ocean
rendezvous, when at eight o'clock she was first
teen by the ship Alice Mnuroe. It was believed
on board the Niagara that the cause of the em
end breaking was a kink iu the Agammemnon
wire, caused by its disarrangement during the
pie, but of this there is no certainty. Nothing
is said about- the working of the new brakes;
probably there bad been no ocoaeion to put thorn
in use,
For two daya subsequently the weather was
quite calm and favorable, but after that there
was another endued= of heavy southerly gales,
and the weather on the b - auke ' as experienced

LEAVENNVOILTII, July 16, via Boonville, July 17.
—A fire broke out about midnight on the 14th.
whioh at ono time threatened destruction to the
denser portion of the city. It originated in the
green room of the Union theatre, toner of Third
and Delaware streets, end rapidly communicated
to the adjoining buildings. Thirty buildings,
principally included in the block bounded by
Cherokee, Shawnee, Second and Third streets,
were reduced to ashes.
The less is estimated at $lOO,OOO, on which
there is but little insurance. There is no appa
ratus or fire organization lathe city, but the prop
greed of the conflagration was providentially ar
rested by a lull of the wind and copious fall of
rain. A general panic was manifested at the
breaking out of the fire, but the citizsna after
wards worked energetically, and the fire was
finally got under about 3 o'clock.
Ono hundred and fifty recruits from Carlisle
barracks, destined for the regiment of mounted
riflemen in New ti exioo, arrived at the Tort last
night. They go forward forthwith.,
