But the increased number is owing to the taking in of a larger field, or greater number of States. "The southern editor says the bulldozing reports are bogus, because the size of the Democratic majorities bhow that the negroes votd the Dem ocratic ticket in large numbers. This is a feeble defence." General IIovt will be the first Governor of Pennsylvania who ever 6erved a four years' term. Ia the future we shall have one year more rest between Gubernatorial elections, and the election for President and Governor will not f all on the eawe year." The Middle Penitentiary question at Hiniingdon does not seem to be definitely settled. It was said that a tract of land, water, stone and other advantageous things had been offer ed, but that now, tba county com missioners hesitate about providing bueh necessary title and material. Ir is s:iiJ that John S. Morton, who fraudulently caused an over -issue of the stock of the Philadelphia Mar ket Street Railway Company, and tor which he is now on trial :n Philadel phia, is a J'" itualUt, and that the hnuibngjjery of that religion was in a great measure the cause of his ruin. Efscmitiox, in less than a mouth, and then the promise that the Re publican party ma le when Rebellion Wgan. and when the Admiu-stration of Abraham Lincoln a&ked the peo ple to trust the paper of the Nation till it could be redeemed in coin, will have been fulfilled, so far, as that a conm nce:aent to repay in coin will have been made, LorisuvA pople have sued Gen eral .Sheri.liin to recover four hun tlrel thousand dollars as damages to a sugar plantation in Louisiana, sus tained daring the muintt nance of the rect.nt ruction measures. If the Johnuies get sufficent power they will punish everybody who was iu any way connected with the war agianst rebellion, and everylnxly who assisted in carryiiig out the recon struction measures. The General says he will meet them in court in New York. Ox the question of cremation that is. the burning of the human Wly after death a dispatch, under date of Nov. 30th, from Europe, says : The Bavarian authorities have asked the opinions of the Protestant. Cath olic and Israelite congregations and Board of Health on the subject of jierniissive creation. The Catholics will have nothing to do with it, the Israelites refuse to express an opin ion, the Protestants say it would only imply a change of directions in the liturgy, and the Board of Health re commends cremation in the following i-ontingencies : First, after battles ; Second, during epidemics ; Third, for the conveyance of remains to distant parts, and, Fourth, where the soil is unsuitable for burial purposes. The authorities have postponed their de rision of the question. As regards the Potter Committee, recent intelligence from Washington ays : The Republicans of the Potter Committee evidently do not intend to let the recent investigation drop too easily out of sight Since the explosion of this Democratic bubble, a greater fraud than the cause they were investigating, Potter and his friends have been trying to contrive some scheme by which they could quickly and peacefully step out of this matter. They have been con fronted, however, by a form.d notifi cation from the Republican aieuiberti of the committee that they will in sist up.-jn a continuation of the inves tigation and a report The Demo crats now see that iiiey have landed in a pitfall quite unexpected when they were compassing the whole land for a fraud.

A number of tramps became involved in a bloody fight in this city to-day, which may result in the death of one of the participant. He was the victim of the most brutal treatment at the hands of his associates. After he had been knocked down they beat him in the face with cinders and bricks, pro ducing several frightful gashes. He was picked up in an insensible condi tion and at a late hour to-night lie had not returned to consciousness. PiTTSBCEG, Nov. 28.

My wife aud children went to visit her father family, four miles off. During our absence our house was burued.

Collision of Ships in the English Channel, November 25th. A London dispatch of Nov. 26, 1878, says : Tbe Hamburg-American steamer Pomerania, under command of Captain Schwensen, which started from New York on tbe 14th of November for Hamburg, and arrived at Plymouth at midnight on tba 24tb instant, came in collision last night, about midnight, during a heavy fog, abont eight miles southeast of Folkestone, with tbe Welsh bark Moel Eilian, of Carnaroon, from Rotterdam for Cargiff, in ballast. Tbe Pomerania at tbe time was on her way from Plymouth to Hamburg. Tbe steamship foundered in abont ten min utes. One hundred aud seveuty-two of ber passengers and crew were saved by the iron screw steamer Grengarry, of Middleborongb, and landed at Dover. Tbe -Pomerania was struck 'on the starboard side midships and sank ic less than twenty minutes. Distress signals were given and responded to by tbe steamer Glengarry, proceeding down tbe channel, wbicb made all speed to ward the scene of tbe disaster. Tbere were nine boats on tbe Pom erania, fonr of which wre erusbed in the collision. Five were got off, but one, being overcrowded with passen gers, was sunk. All the boats pulled away from the doomed sbip, leaving tbe captain, who refused to go until tbe last monieo. After rowing for half an bonr, the survivors were picked np by tbe Glengarry. The Glengarry stayed near until daybreak, when tbe Pomerania was seen with ber masts above water. Tbe former vessel then proceeded to Dover with those saved, and landed them at nine o'clock, when tbey were taken to tbo Sailors' Home, treated with every kindness and breakfasted. Tbe story told by the survivors tends to show that tbe greatest possible order under the circumstances was maintain ed by the officers and male portion of tbe crew. Tbe following is the narrative of Louisa Launian, of Akron, Ohio : "We bad a capital run and got to Plymouth abont three o'clock on tbe morning of the 25th inst. We landed some passengers and took some for Ham burg, and then ran for Cherbourg and landed passengers, nearly all of whom were cabin. Those left were mostly between decks. Tbe crew consisted of 111. We bave here (at tbe Sailors' Home) 172. I was in bed last night about a quarter to 12 o'clock, when 1 felt a sudden bump, as if tbe Pomera nia bad struck upon a rock. I was alarmed, but I did not think at first that it was anything serious, as we bad kept a good look-ont and tbe captain appeared to be very careful. It was his hundred and twenty sixth voyage, be bad told us. He celebrated bis hundred and twenty-fifth wben he was last at Hamburg. A few seconds alter tbe collision the steward and some of tLe crew came running to us snd said a sailing barque had run into us, and we were all to go on deck. I went on deck directly and saw our ship's light, but tbe fog was so great that I could see nothing else. But they told Lie tbe barque bad run away. Tbe boats vre then all busy lowering boats. Tut sbip was beginning to sink. In lower ing tbe boats tbere was geeat confusion, everybody trying to crowd into tbem. One filled aud sank immediately after it got into the water, and two others were smashed by the collision. Tbey were fastened up tight and we could not get them undone. Ths Pomerania was sinking rapidly. There were a number of women among the passengers. 1 don't know bow many, but eight have been saved, together with a baby. 1 think the baby's mother has been drowned. Our captain had some fire, works on board and l;t them off. We m&usged to get into tbe boats that re mained, and bad been tbere about ten minutes wben the steamer Glengarry picked us up. She cruised about a long time. Our captain had a chance to save bis life, but would stick to bis ship. I saw him when our boat got away from the steamer, standing on tbe bridge giving commands, trying to ob tain order and save as many as be could. In twenty minutes after tbe collision the Pomerania went down. She did not keel over, but went down gradually. Tbe ship which ran us down 1 never saw at all. They told me she was a sailing tarque, and that with a north northeast wind, she came bowling along and ran right into us. I thought, until we landed, that we had run upon a rock, as tbe Schiller did. It was very thick weather. Tbere was a good lookout on tbe Pomerania all the time. She bad smart sailors, and there were always two or three on the bridge and two on tbe foreport from the time she neared the Channel. Our boat was so crowded it was nearly even with the water." Mr. C. Pappenhuseo states that be bad gone to bed and was awakened by tbe crash. He thought there had been a collision, aad, half dressed, rusbed on deck. He was met by tbe doctor, who said : ' You bad better put on a life preserver," wbicb be did with the doc tor's help. lie did not attempt to save any one of bis effects, but got into a boat, which was immediately lowered This was tbe second boat. It was fol lowed so closely by a third that they nearly swamped each other. Mr. Pap penbusen saw Ctptain Schwensen on the bridge ad tbe boat pnt off. Albert Fabcr states that be was in bis berth only two sections from tbe spot where the vessel was stove. He rusbed on deck partly dressed and found everything in confusion and thick darkness. He met tbe Misses Clymer and assisted them into a boat. Tbe ladies were cool and collected. Mrs. Ohrns'Jel says that she had re tired and wag awakened by the terrific crash. Sbe sprang from ber berth and gained the deck, wbere all was impen etrable darkness. The steerage pas sengers cried loudly. She was push ed tovards a life-boat, which was just then being lowered. Even after get ting afloat there seemed little hope for safety, but they soon saw the lights of the Glengarry, which took them on board. All these five per sons speak in the highest terms of the captain, who was on the bridge nearly all of the previous three days and nights. Mary Clymer says she was in the same berth as her sister Rose. They were awakened by the crash, and rushed on deck half dressed, to where the boats were being put off. They were joined by their brother, who as sisted her (Mary) into a boat A sailor threw Rose in, but she fell into the water and had to be dragged out Young Clymer, who remained on the steamer, seeing the boat full and the Bailors trying to get aboard, thus en dangering the lives of all, cat the ropes and sent her adrift, Raying "Good-bye" to bis saved relatives. He thought bis mother and other relatives were in the boat, bnt the sailors had prevented them from get ting in. It is a noticeable fact that 108 sailors out of 131 were saved. A telegram has been received at Lloyd's, from Maaesluis, Holland, announcing that the steamer City of Amsterdam has arrived there with the captain of the Pomerania on board. Another dispatch from Mnas sluis reports that the captain of the Pomerania says he thinks there was another steamer near the wreck which saved many livea It is probable the captain refers to the Glengarry, pre viously mentioned. The following persons are known to have been saved : First cabin. Mr. and Mrs. E. Arn stein. family and nurse, San Francis co ; Miss Mary Clymer and Miss Rose N. Clymer, Philadelphia ; Mrs. de mentia De Friere ami family, Wash ington ; Miss Victoria De Friere, Washington ; Alfred Faber, New York ; Mrs. Rufus King, New Y'ork ; Miss E. Konigs, Crefeld ; Conrad Pappenhusen, Hamburg ; L. F. Schwartz, New York ; D. A. Ward, family and nurse, New Y'ork. Second cabin. Emil Bloch, Clarks ville, Term. ; Julius Charles, New York ; Otto Kornemann, New York ; Caroline Hod, New York ; IL Muller, Germany ; Martha Muller, Germany; Miss Amalie Neumann, New York ; Mrs. Sophia Ohrnsteil, New York ; Robert Pommer, St Louis ; C. II. Westphal, La Crosse, Wis. ; Prof. Henry Robyn, St Louis. Respecting the second cabin and steerage passengers whose names do not appear among the list of saved information has not leen received. It is certain that a large proportion have been saved. The dispatches all agree that but 58 in all, including several of the officers and three of the crew were lost They also ex plain that on the arrival of the res cued passengers at London they scattered in all directions over the city, so that it was impossible to gather anything like a complete list of their names. The following cabin passengers are probably lost : Alexander Bodis co and wife. New York : Bores Bod isw. New Y'ork ; Mrs. W. B. Clymer, Philadelphia ; Miss Maria Hiester Clymer, Philadelphia; Mr. R. W. Clymer, Philadelphia ; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest B. Lucke and three children ; New Ycrk ; Miss Anialia Wollli New York. Mrs. Mary Hiester Clymer was the only sister of Hon. Hiester Clynier, member of Congress from the Berks district of this State, and the wife of William Bingliam Clymer. The oth ers, Mary It, Rose Nicolls and Maria Hiester are her three daughters, and Richard Willing, ber son. She was on her way to Europe to complete their education. Mr. Clymer lias been advised of the safety of Mary and Rose, but nothing has been heard of the others. Hon. Hiester Clymer was preparing to leave Reading for Washington when he was apprised of the sid news, which very much de presses? tiin. Governor Coi-QCITt and Senator Hill, both of Georgia, and both Dem ocrats, have a qaarrel on band. Hill charges the Governor with crooked ness in the endorsement of certain railroad bonds, and the Governor charges Hill with political crooked ness, and the Legislature is to inves tigate the qnarreL Dancing. The case of Mr. Frank F. Block, of Atlanta, Ga., Las made considerable stir. As is well remembered, be gave a little social party in bis house, at which some of the guests and his own family tripped tbe light faotastio toe. Tbe Atlanta Presbytery censured Mr. Block, and be appealed to tbe Synod of Georgia, which is tbe next judicatory in authority. Tbe Synod decided that tbe Presbytery was wrong and ought not to bave censured Mr. Block. Now tbe Presbytery, determined to show tbe correctness of its standing, appeals from tbe decision of tbe Synod, and the case goes to tbe next higher judica tory, namely, tbe General Assembly, wbicb meets next May. Tbis is tbe highest of all Presbyterian courts and its action is final. But tbe gentleman wbo bave teen prosecuting Mr. Block do not wish it to appear that bis victory in tbe Synod gives aoy aid or comfort to dancers. Tbey procured tbe passage of a minute by Synod settiog its views concerning the wickedness of the dance. Tbis minute reads thus : "Whereas, tbe decision of the Synod of Georgia, in the appeal case of Mr. F. E. Block from tbe Atlanta Presbytery, may be misunderstood by some of our people as favoring dancing ; and whereas, tbis Synod would continue to discourage aud, as all our Church courts bave in variably done, discountenance tbis pop ular amusement, the earnest attention of all our church officers and members is called to the repeated deliverances of the General Assembly on tbe sub ject, and tbey are urged by precept and practice to bear testimony against this kind of amusement, so often fraught with evil, especially in its mere modern forms, and which cannot be indulged in except to tbe hazard of the spiritual in terests of tbe dancers and to tbe injury of Zion." Among many Presbyterians in this part of tbe country much of tbe old-fashioned antipathy to dancing is still cherished. But amocs; tbe young people dancing habits are becoming every year more prevalent. A suit against a dancing Presbyterian could hardly be maintained in any of the Northern Presbyteries, except in some of those iu which the older and sterner msn are largely in the majority. In Brooklyn a popular pastor has frequent ly appeared among bis young people at tbeir social meetings, playing bis violin to furnish music for tbem to dance by. No objection has ever been mad ? to tbi. nor is any likely to be made. jY York paper. A special dispatch says it will be re membered that at ths lynching of fonr negroes at Mount Vernon, Ind., on Oc tober 11, an old man named Harris, who was in jail for tbe murder of Sher iff Thomas, was said to hare been cut to pieces, and his remains thrown into a privy vault. It is now stated by a man who avows his connection with the mob, that Harris was taken off by five masked men five mile into tbe country, wbere be was tied to a stake. aadt after indescribable tortare, burned to ashes. 6EXENfAL ITEMS.
