Senators Patterson. Conover, and
Davis Vote with the Democrats
in the United States Senate.
Political circlet of tbe country bare
been in a whirl of agitation siuce last
Thursday.
Tbe came of the agitation U found
in the action of three United States
Senator.
Tbe Senators are Patterson, llepob
lican, of South Carolina ; Conorer, Re
publican, of Florida ; Davis, Indepen
dent, with Republican inclinations, from
Illinois.
Tbe action that caused tbe agitation
was, that on last Thursday Patterson,
Conover and Davis voted with tbe Dem
ocratic Senators, on motions that tend to
tbe admission of BuUer, of South Car
olina, to a seat in the United States
Senate.
Bailer's case, or tbe question of bis
admission was in the bands of a com
mittee. Tbnrman moved that tbe com
mitlee be discharged from tbe further
consideration of tbe claims of Mr.
Butler. A motion was quicklj made
to table Tbarman's motion to discharge
tbe commMee. It was on tbe question
to table Thurman's motion that tbe
three Senators mentioned above voted
with tbe Democrats.
The Democrats voted against tabling
tbe motion made by Tburman. Patter
son, Conover and Davis voted against
tabling the Tbnrman motion.
Tbe object of tbe Tburman motion
was to clear the way for a motion or
resolution that Butler be sworn in as a
United States Senator from South Car
olina. Great efforts were made through reg
ular parliamentary tactics to circuin
vent the Tburman motion, but every
effort was defeated by tbe Republican
Senators, Patterson and Conover, votiug
with tbe Democrats. As a last resort
to get more time, a motion was made
to adjourn to Monday. A vote on tbe
motion resulted in a tie, Conover not
voting. Tbe tie vote gave Vice Presi
dent Wheeler an opportunity to vote.
He voted in favor of adjournment, and
by that vote Butler was kept from get
ting a seat in the Senate on Thursday.
A great burrab is raised agaiust Sen
ator Patterson for favoring tbe efforts
that tend to tbe seating of Butler.
His motives for doing so have been
questioned. It has been said tbat be
did it as a last resert, and tbat became
to tbe conclusion so to act not long ago.
What is due Senator Patterson is
due him, and be who refuses to give
bim the credit he should have, at this
juncture, pursues an unfair course.
It is no sudden awakening of bis to
vote for Mr. Butler. When he was
here in Mifflin town, last Jnne, be ex
pressed a purpose to vote for the admis
sion of Butler to the United States
Senate. To tbe editor of the Sentinel
and Republican he said : " If I vote for
Butler's admission, you cannot consist
ently object ; the Republicans gener
ally cannot object, for you and tbey
endorse President Cayes, and the moral
inSnence tbat President Hayes exerted
ousted Packcrd and seated Xicols, and
ousted Chamberlain and seated Hamp
ton. If Nicola and Hampton were the
right men, Mr. Butler is equally tight."
But it may be said tbat tbe Senator
expressed himself in that way only up
in the country, where Washington cir
cles would most likely not bear of it.
But tbe Senator did not put bis light
under a bushel. His intention to vote
for the admission of Butl.'r to a seat in
tbe Uni'ed States Senate was declared
in otbar places than in bis native valley
among the mountains of Pennsylvania.
He proclaimed bis intention to vote
for Mr. Butler, in Washington City so
early in the year 1S77, as tbe month
of April. By referring to tbe columns
of the Sentinel and Republican of April
25, 1877, the intention of Senator Pat
son on tbe question that now agitates
political circles may be read, in tbe re
port of an interview bad with Liiu by a
reporter of tbe Washington JVational
Republican, and republished in these
columns. The interview on tbe point
in question reads tbus :
Reporter It ik reported that yon will
vote tor tbe admission of Gen. M. C. But
ler for a seat in the United States Senate ?
Senator Patterson. In answer to that
I would say that Gun. Butler holds his cer
tificate from the same Legn-lature I hat de
clared Hampton Governor, aud aa Hamp
ton is now recognized aa Governor of South
Carolina, I eanuot see why I shall vote
against Gen. Butler. 1 would prefer, of
course, to vote for the admission of a Re
publican, but Mr. Corbin was elected by tbe
Legislature that declared Mr. Chamberlain
Governor, and as Mr. Chamberlain has been
ouated, I legard Mr. Ooi bin's claim to ad
mission to tbe Senate to fall with it. I have
a personal friendship for General Butler,
aud I do not think that 1 could be expected
to antagonize the Democratic party of South
Carolina by voting against General Butler,
when tbe friends upon whom be relied have
placed Hampton in hia present position.
Senator Patterson's declarations to
vote for Butler having been made so
long ago, is sufficient vindication against
tbe charge that be proposes to so vote
to escape ths requisition of tbe Gover
nor of South Carolina. Patterson's in
tention was declared long before a re
quistion for him was talked of. Give
the Senator bis dues.
On Monday an effort was luade to get
the question of tbe admission of tbe
Louisiana Senators ahead of tbe Butler
case, but without success. Tbe Senate
then proceeded to consider tbe ease of
Mr. Butler, on which Senators spoke at
considerable length.
Senator Patterson delivered a speech
on the question. " He gave his reason
for voting for Mr. Butler as Senator
from Son'h Carolina, lie avowed hia
loyalty to the Republican party, would
lose bis right arm rather than endanger
its well-being, but be would vote for
Mr. Bdtler, because be was honestly
elected. He would vote to carry out
tbe will of tbe people he represents in
tbe Senate. Tbe bargains certain Seu
ctors hinted at bad no foundation in
fact. Their past oonduct, if measured
by the standard they wished torueaute
other men by, would lay them open to
the same charge. Tbe Republican
party is the party of Right ; it is strorg
enough to do what is right ; it is brave
enough to put down wrong. There is
no man in tbe Senate who belonged to
tbe Republican party before be did.
and now more than ever it is tbe duty
of the Republican party to adjust tbe
Southern question upon the clearest
interpretation of right."
Tbe gentlemen who are making the
loudest Doises against Patterson aud
( "oflover for pursuing a policy of con
ciliation toward the Southern uierjj as
per example set by President Hayes,
are the men who were for Horace
Greeley when tbe Democrats made him
their candidate for tbe Presidency.
Now when President Hayes, Patterson
and Conover give the country a ptao
tical illustration, they profess horror,
great horror. Come, gentlemen, don't
take on ho. But more to tbe question
by aud by.
Love and Marriage Extraordinary)
In England, in Hew York, and
in Perry County, Pennsylvania,
November 21, 1877.
Cupid aeeujs to be everywhere, at one
and tbe same time, aud once be scuds a
dart from bis bow, a obauuel for invisi
ble coUiUiUuicaliou is opened up, over
which electric love flashes may be eur,
though ibe wounded hearts may be sep
arated by bill aud plain, river aud sea,
with irate friends between. How ui)s
terious is love ; certainly it can be
nought else but a coal of living spirit
ual fire seut from tbe divine altar into
the hearts of men auj women. How
strange ! bow unfathomable ! yet how
universal among the sons aud daughters
of men. It is seen and felt amoug peo
ple of rauk, among people of wealth,
among people of culture. Gifted peo
pie feel its joys and sorrows, and the
poor, tbe unlettered and tbe ravage,
all, all, feel its thrill. As oxygen, ui
trogeu. aud bydngen are fouud run
ning through almost all things material,
so love is found running through almost
all things spiritual.
But what would Cnpid with bis darts
of love bo, at thou t having Hymen to
come along in bis wake, and bind to
gether in wedlock those who have been
set aglow by love's tumultuous fires ?
Ah! yes, what would love be vithout
marriage? and yet it is so that men
and women go about in the world with
tbe ache of love in their hearts, aud
are never married. But it is not of
these cases tbat this article is written.
ITS PURPOSE
is to tell of Love and Marriage, of
those whom Cupid struck and II men
bouud, last eduesday. How many
men and women were married on that
day is not known, neither does the
writer or tbe reader hereof care to know,
but it is well to note the
MARRIAGE
of three men and three women : One
couple in London, one couple in Xew
York, and one couple in Millerstown
Perry county, Pennsylvania. All were
married in church, and all created more
or less exciteuicut in their respective
neighborhoods.
TBE LONDON' COUPLE
were people of rank, aristocrats by
birtb. Tbe groom id Henry Fitzalan
Howard, the cbiel representative of tbe
Norfolk family. He is tbe fifteenth
Duke of bis bouse. There is no better
blood in the raltu. in size be is ai
small man He is nt brilliant, but
bis judgment is considered number one.
He is rich, in every sense ot the term ;
bis annual income is one million five
hundred thousand dollars. He sports
none of the luxuries of the age, and his
toilet arrangements would cot be looked
at by tbe average dry goods clerk in
America. In religion be is a athohc.
Tbe bride's name was Flora Hastings,
also of aristocratic stock. In religion
she is a 'atholic, and as per require
ment of tbat Church, just previous to
marriage tbey withdrew three days
from all intercourse with tbe world
be to a Catholic Oratory, and she to a
Convert No com.nuuica'ion was bad
during the three days with any outside
the official circle of tbe respective in
stitutions Tbe marriage took place in
Church. A correspondent says, out
side the circle of the bridal party, the
titled ladies with few exceptions wore
black silk dresses.
THE NEW YORK COUPLE
were people of wealth. The groom is
Hamilton McK Twombly The bride
was Miss Florence Adele Vaoderbilt,
grand daughter of the great railroad
man. Commodore Vanderbilt. Mr.
William H. Vanderbilt gave bis daugh
ter away in tbe customary way. After
tbe ceremony, a leception was given at
the residence of the bride's father,
where the festivities were kept op all
night. Everything relative to the Lon
don and New York weddings moved
smoothly off to a consummation of the
desires of tbe loving people. Not so
with tbe people nearer home. The way
of the
MILLERgrOWN COUPLE
was not lined with approving relatives
to encourage them on to matrimony.
Instead of encouragement, opposition,
persistent oppositieu to the marriage
mauifested itself on the part of the
bride's brother, Silas Wright. Tbe
Wrights are well to do Perry county
people. William H. Boose, a well to
do Nebraska man, is tbe groom. Miss
Emetine Wright is tbe bride. Wbat
reason Mr. Silas Wiight had for oppos
ing tbe marriage has not been made
public. Tbe Methodist minister, Rev.
J. W. Buckly, was requested not to
marry tbe couple. Tbe trustees of the
chuicb were requested not to allow tbe
use of tbe church for tbe marriage cer
emony. No lavorable answers being re
eet ved to tbe request made to tbe minister
and church officers, it was deemed best
to "spirit" the lady away. How the
consent of Miss Wright was obtained,
is not stated, but she did consent, to
accompany a man in a carriage, em
ployed for the purpose, over the bills,
and through tbe valleys that intervene
between her home and Millersburg, on
the Susquehanna, where she took tbe
cars, with tickets furnished to a place
railed Coosbohocken, about ten miles
from Philadelphia, where relatives ot
tbe family live.
When Mr. Boose arrived in .Millers
town from Nebraska, on Monday, the
abseuoe of the betrothed put a face on
tbe case that had every other look thao
tbat of matrimony. However, after
some inquiry, the inwardness of the
absence of the lady was Muted at by
bis friend Acting on a suggestion, he
seut an officer into Wild Cat Valley for
i he man who accompanied the lady to
the SusqU'-hauna. Tbe threat of a pros
ecutioo lor abduction unsealed the lips
of the Wild Cat Valley man, and he
told of the whereabouts of Miss Wright,
as above stated. With the infortua
tion thus obtained, Boose started Messrs.
G i 1 6 lieu and Leas, of Millerstown, ou
Tuesday nioniing on the way to Con
shockon, to interrogate the lady as to
her disposition to marry or not marry.
Tbe place was reached, and Miss
Wright found, and interrogated. She
expressed herself willrng and anxious
for tbe marriage, and at once proposed
to accompany tbe escort to Millers
town to mnrry Mr. Booze. A despatch
of the lady's coming was sent to ber
borne. How such news will stir up a
village, i-sn oCly be known to people
who have experienced village life. Tbe
whole town was aglow with excitement,
aud wheu tbe Mifilm Accommodation
came in at half past seten o'clock P. M.,
Miss Wright and her esc6rt were greet
ed and welcomed by hundreds ot peo
ple from the town and surrounding!
neighborhood. Hearty pood
doubtless were manifested tow
ishes
rd "the
Loudon and New York wedding peo
pie at tbe same hour, but no such ar
dent ovation was tendered them as was
gratuitously showered on the couple
that evening contemplating matrimony
in the Juniata Valley. A procession
of all tbe people formed on the right,
and left sides, and in tbe rear of tbe
bridal party, and ihus tbey were es
corted thronch the river bridge. On
the caual bridge Silas Wright joined
tbe moving assemblage, aud attempted
a rescue of bis sister, but eager hands
and stout bodies jostled bim off to a
side, out of reach, and he was beard
and seen no more. Some one at the
same place proceeded to deliver a proo
lamation, aud read the riot act, but a
bint at a bath in the canal brought tba
delivery to a sudden end, and the pro
cession moved on to the bouse of Henry
Martio, where a few preliminaries were
arranged, after which the contracting
parties and as many as found room en
tered the M. E. Church, were the eon
pie were united in tbe bonds of wed
lock, by Rev. J. W. Bucklv. assisted
by Rev. W. H. Logan.

but that the plaintiffs were there as
boarders, not as guests. They were
under an express contract to remain

as guests entertained from day to

A neqress, in New York, imagined
that in taking a drink of water she

the fright awakened by the imagina
tion. An examination after death
revealed no snake in either stomach
or bowels. If people can die by im
agination, what can they not do by
imagination while living ?
It is probable that before next

Despatches from all points alonp
both fides of tlie Atlantic sea coasts,
are disheartening as to the destruction
of ships and the loss of life. The

ashore on the North Girolina coast
on Saturday and 100 men of her crew
were drowned inrlii ling the comman
der. Floods in Virginia did great

ty, this titate, did considerable dam-ajre.
The New York I ribune says : A sec
ond reading of the Pittsburg Grand
Jury's astouisbing presentment only
strengthens our opioion that it is a
thoroughly disgraceful document. A
worse piece of special pleading to shift
the responsibility of a crime never pro
ceeded from the most unscrupulous
lawyer, much ps from twelve minis
ters of the law, whose sworn duty it is
to protect society aui briug offenders to

"According to the cigar Manufac
turers tbe Ameriean girl as a cigar
uiaker is a great su;cess Three thousand
are now working at tbe benches of the
strikers."
A despatch from Pittsburg', on the
20th ihst, gives the pith of the Pre
sentment of the Grand Jury of that
place on the July riots, thus :
After calling attention to the fact
that the matter was specially given
them in charge, they state that they
were met by an unexpectd impedi
ment in the refusal of the State offi
cials to testify. " The rofusal," say
they, of those who wrought the mis
chief reduces the scope of our in
vestigation within very narrow limits."
The report then speaks of the origin
of the trouble here, which was the
discontent brought about among rail
road men by a reduction of wages,
in which common cause was mailt
through secret organization extend
ing through Beveral States and over
many thousands of miles of railroads.
The jury then give an wcoilnt of the
Sheriff's action, and are of the opin
ion that he had not exhausted his

day the crowd was augmented by
reason of the suspension of work in
the numerous mills at non. mid bun
day, another idle day, following,
would further add to the excitement :
but a sad fatality seemed to attend
these councils, and orders were given
to clear the tracks. This was accom
plished when a pistol shot was fired j
Irom the crowd and some stones were
I - t 41,.. i..i,.i.: l i:...
The testimony is conclusive and over
whelming that without orders from
the commanding officers, the sol
diers commenced to fire at the crowd,
and before they could be checked,
the filing resulted in the immediate
death of 10 citizens. The Coroner's
report gives 22 deaths (Ax Saturday
and Sunday. This was the unauthor
ized, willful and wanton killing by the
private soldiers which the inquest
can call by no milder term than mur
der. The jury lays great emphasis i
on this chapter of the tragedy, as it !
was the beginning of the riot. Speak- j
ing of tbe Philadelphia troops in the ;
IVIUIU-UUUW; OU4 llil Hl.'Vl r Villi II L VI
the Fourteenth and Nineteenth Regi
ments in a demoralized condition,
they say the whole military operation
from first to last was a blunder, and
exhibited a pitiable absence of train
ing and executive ability worthy of a
commander-in chief who selects Ma
jor Generals for their political or
social, rather than their military,
qualifications. The occupation of the
round house was a fatal mistake, if
not a crime, and invited the mode of
attack resorted to, which was firing
the cars to burn them out. The oc
cupation of the adjacent bill could
have leen accomplished before or
after the fire without loss, and the
hill held against any odds. The jury
speak of the retreat of General Brin
ton from the round-house, and of the
flight of the State officials to Beaver.
They deny the allegation that the al
legation that the citizens were in sym
pathy with the mob, and say they
stopped the fire and restored order.
They deplore the fact that a military,
rather than police force, was brought
into conflict with the mob ; and
speaking of the question of liability,
reject the doctrine that the city or
county should pay for damages in
flicted by a mob which was excited to
violence by the unlawful acts of the
State military.
In conclusion they say :
This completes a review of the
events we have been instructed to in
quire into, and that it is not more
precise is due to the fact that the
Grand Jury has been thwarted openly
and privately in its endeavors by those
to whom the whole truth should have
been a welcome vindication. Its sup
pression compels the opposite con
clusion. The final incident remains,
and that is the arrival here, days after
the people of Pittsburg by their un
aided efforts had suppressed the dis
turbances, of a gallant array of citi
zen soldiery, several thousand - in
number, gathered at immense expense
from every part of the Common
wealth, headed by the Commander-,
in-Chief of the Army and Navy of,
Pennsylvania, backed by the com- j
bined military genius and civic lustre 1
of seven Major Generals and a host J
of Brigadiers, waited oa by 6taffs
that would far more -than have suf
ficed for an army corps, and far ex
ceeding in numbers the array that
followed Sherman in his march to" the
eea: The' presence of these troop's
here, long after all danger had passed,
was intended as a threat to our citi
zens and a mark of contumely to the
country. Their martial achievements
under the lead of the Governor, the
Commander-in-Chief, have only their
parallel in that tremendous military
feat of the French King, who "march
ed his army up the hill, and then he
marched it down again."

On Friday night a week, about II
o'clock as Mr. George Clepper, tesid
ing on the turnpike, a short distance
west of New Kingston, Cumberland co ,
was returning home from that place,
upon reaching the house, be was sur
prised to find the cellar dour open and
a light shining therefrom. Upon look
ing into the cellar he saw three men
standing around a meat stand, about to
gobble tbe contents thereof, but upon
seeing bim they all made for the door,
which be shut dawn and stood upon ,in
in tbe meantime giving an alarm to
the inmates of ths house. But tbe
combined strength of tbe three robbers
proved too muub for bim, and they
forced tbe door open. Tbe first to
come out was immediately dropped by
a club in the bands of Mr. C.,' and be
soon bad another one down, but while
struggling with biui, the third stabbed
Clepper ia the back, sufficiently dis
abling him so as to beat a hasty retrea,
without any booty, however. Upon ex
amination Mr. C.'s wound was found
not to be very serious, though he lost
considerable blood. In their hurry to

last of three, she was kidnapped, and
her parents never beard of ber again,
although they expeuded thousands in
search of ber. The beart broken mo
ther died soon after the loss of her
darling, and tbe father wandered over
Europe, and finally settled in New
York, where be died. Tbe brother
grew to manhood, and the memory of
bis lost sister was almost effaced from
his mind, la bis twenty seventh year
while visiting a married friend, be fell
in love with the governess of bis friend's
children, a beautiful girl of about
twenty-three, and after some months
they were married, and lived bapily
for five or six years, a boy and a girl
being born to them during tbat time.
