PITLER citizen _ Hf t W. C. NEG-EY. PROP'BS, Entered at the Post office at Butler as second-classs matter. REPUBLICAN Primary election, Sat urday next June 4th. Let there be a full turn out and a fair vote. BOTH branches cf the Legislature have agreed to adjourn on Thursday week, June 9. This final act, adjourn ing, will be received with perhaps more favor than any act of the session. THE Republicans of Lancaster coun ty, this State, strongly sustained Pres ident Garfield in nominating their countv ticket, 24 out of 30 of the coun ty officers nominated being anti-boss Republicans. WE regret to hear that our friend Mr. George M. Gibson, of Clintou township, was severly injured last week by being thrown down and gored by a bull be was leading. Mr. Gibson is rather an aged man but we are gl«d to learn he is recovering from the injuries he received. DR. HIOBEE. State Superintendent of Public Instruction, lectured in the Court House, before the Teachers' As sociation of this county, on Friday evening last. Although not coming up to the general expectation as a speaker, yet his remarks were practical and forcible as regards the business of teachers, and if followed would place public school teaching on a higher plane than at present exists. BY general consent ex-President Grant has made the great mistake of his life, in writing the letter he did from Mexico, taking sides with Conk ling in his war upon the Administra tion of President Garfield. It only es tablishes the trulh of the charges made, at the time it was sought by Conkling and a few other designing politicians to renominate Grant for the Presidency, that they might use him in their selfish interests. ASSOCIATE JI!li«E QI'ES TIOIY. UP to this writing, Tuesday, there is no certainty that the Judiciary bill will l»e passed and approved. It has to receive another reading in the House, and then goes back to the Senate for concurrence in some amendments made in the House. The Republicans of this county will therefore, in all probability, have to vote for a candidate for Asso ciate Judge of this county at their pri maries on Saturday next. If the bill is passed and approved in its present shape before or by Monday next, the day for the meeting of the County Convention of return Judges, to cast up the votes, then that fact can be made known at that time. As the matter stands there is no other way than to go on and vote for a candidate at the pri mary on Saturday. By the way we might repeat that we have seldom known more indignation to exist than does among our people at the way in which this Judicial bill matter was in troduced and put through the Senate at Harri sburg. COL. DAN KM' LI.CTCBE. Within the past few years there have been many interesting addresses delivered in our Court House here. They have been upon the various sub jects of science, education and religion Col John A. Danksou Monday last gave us a new theme. ' Gettysburg" was his subject, in which he reviewed the stirring scenes and events of that great and decigive conflict betweeu the Union and the Rebel hosts in which he partic ipated. He graphically described the grounds of that great battle field, and the different engagements during those eventful days, of July I, 2 and 3, 1863. His words were full of pa triotism and eloquence. Col. Danks is an impressive speaker, and his full, clear voice, with his fine personal ap pearance and energetic action, held bis audience in the closest attention. Pre vious to entering upon his lecture he gratified his hearers by singing a patri otic song—as he did also at the close The Col. is justly renowned for his powers in the song line, for a mon melodious, powerful and well trained voice few men could possess. His lec ture gave great satisfaction to his many Butler friends and indeed wns a great success. Wc bad not met the Col. for a number of years and was pleased to greet him agrain, and hope he may find his way back here at no very distant day, AT AIJiAM'. What little respect any Republican may have had left fur Conkling all van ished when he went to Albany, wheie the Legislature of New York is in ses sion, and where be went to importum members for their votes for his re-elec tiou to the U. S. Senate. He resigned his Feat confident his own great St;it« would immediately endorse his action by sending him back. Hut he fin< s even at his home enough manhood to withstand his blandishments or hif threats. All the news from there ind cate he will be censured for his vin dictive spirit and childish folly. He i:- already humiliated and punished in failing to obtain a majority favoraVe to his return, and to this time it is evi dent he can only be elected by the ai> o 1 Democratic votes. These it is saio he will not refuse. Another fear ol his success may be the use of money. But with all these, and the presence ai Albany of Vico President Arthur t( assist him, we doubt if be can be re turned. The conduct of the Vice Pres ident in this matter is, by tho way, an other of the disgraceful scones accom panying this wholly disgraceful pieo of business. The idea of the Vice Pres ident of the United States, elected ou ; the same ticket with the I resident, , taking part in such a contest, belittles the office. But it demonstrates fully i what was thought by many at the time, J that the nomination of Arthur was one that should not have been made. He ; had no reput-tion as a Statesman, and he is now proving himself what he only is, a New York city politician. Presi dent Garfield will survive all this. lie j is honest and pure and seeks the good . of the whole party and the country as I well. The people are with him and will stand by his Administration against all such men as Conkling in their efforts to embarrass him in h:s high office. LE«»LITIVK-THE € I t UY BII.L. During last week the Judiciary bill at Harrisburg got turough second read ing in the Hopse, but not without amendments. It has yel to pt}Sß a third reading in the House, and then, if passed in that branch, goes back to the Senate for concurrence in the amendments made. This may all be done before the time fixed for adjourn ment, June 0; but we bavpgopedoubt of it, and still hope the bill will not get through in i»s present shape. The mandamus bill, arising out of the trouble as to the amount of pay of the members, has been passed aud sign ed by the Governor. The Governor has vetoed the bill giving pensions to vpteron soldiers in the war with Mexico, on the ground of lack of funds in the treasury. The bill fixing all the sessions of the Supreme Court permanently at Phila delphia tv»s killed, very properly. The House passed final!}' ifip bill allowing defendants to testify iu criminal cases. The bill to compel railroads to fence their lines was killed, as w«o the bill making owners of horses and cattle re sponsible for damage done when run ning at large. In the Senate an amendment wt»» placed on the bill providing fur a con stitutional prohibition of the manufac ture bnd sale of liquor in this Slate, to the effect that no liquors should be brought into the State. The amend ment was offered by an enemy of the constitutional amendment bill proper, and was designed to kill the same by improper amendments, it being well known that the State has not the pow er to interfere wi>h the commerce of other States. Among the Senators voting for this unconstitutional incum brance to what the people desire, was Mr. Greer of this di.-triet. This vote in the Senate may be regarded as fatal to the constitutional reform sought. We predicted its fate in the tfenate some weeks ago as well as the action and vote of Mr. Greer on the tame.

Hst»tui-r nni] mon'ltyents have arisen throughout the Nation as lasting hjc. mentoes of the illustrious achievements of the soldiers of the Union army, ex ercising powerful influences to inspire patriotifin in the present and future generations. And whilst we strew ilowej's our the yrayes qf the honored dead we are n'»t to be unmindful that thev are minified with the sighs and tears ol the living relatives and friends of the deceased soldier.

Whilst thousands of our countrymen sleep in unmarked graves, no monu ment fashioned by human hands to mark thety lasl purfhly resting place, yet they have a monument more endur ing than fctor.e or marble: the Ameri can Union is their monument, and the flag of our country with its full num bered stars, proclaiming liberty, union, fraternity throughout the land, assur ing the honor, safely and welfare of the Republip The memory of their noble lives and of their honored ueaiht, shall ever live; their great achievements in amelioration of the conditio:) of human ity cannot die.

One hundred and seventy ' bodies have been recovered and most j of them brought to the city. All un- j dertakers' shops ore beseiged and cof- j fins are going out by the seore. The j crowds at the river bank and steamer landing have not been diminished. The ; list of identified is still incomplete. A large number of bodies remain on tbe ground at Sulphur Springs Bath*' awaiting claimants. During the day j a number of citizens sought the enjoyment of various excursions lead- j ingfrom the city to the adjoining towns and for others the chief out door attrac- , tion was a series of steambo t excur* gipt)3 on thp Tramps river. This en joymen as rendered more attractive ; from the fact that this was the first day of the season for boats to run trips, and this circumstance, taken in connection with the public holiday, naturally drew large crowds of pleas ure seekers to the river. The trips were made down the river, distance about f<ur miles, to gpringbonk place, a popular resort, where the city water works are located, and three or four , local steamboats took down large loads of excursionists at regular intervals throu day. About four o'clock in the afternoon the Victoria, of the Thames Vavigatipn Company's line, started from the docji on liev fonriji and last trip for the dav, with a l»rgp loud of passenger? of all ages, various* 1" estimated at from 400 to 600. All went well on the down trip It is thought that the boat was so heavily loaded that si e dipped water in small quantities occasionally when the crowd happen vo to un/ psrficij: lar B'de. On the return trip, when more than half way home, iv fcliffht commotion on the boat, said by some i to have been the playful pranks of a number of youths on the lower deck, end by others ascribed to the boat Striding on it caused tijc crowd ' out of curiosity to step to the one side, and as ti:e side of the bout sank with the additional weight, a volume of wa ter a foot or two in depth poured in "pon 1 he lower deck, which was crowd ed with I -«w crowd on both decks rusLed to tlie op posite side and their weight, together with the water dipped by the boat, • caused a in juet.i;po;:itp cjirpptjon ! Then it was that the disaster occurred. ! The side of the boat sank in the water j to the depth of one or two feet, aud ! -viiilo the crow I on the lower deck were s'ti'ugg(fug to save £hemsclvp3 fi'ot<) slipping down into the river the stan i chions supporting the upper decks sud denly gave way and the whole struc ture" with its load of human beings came down on those who were below, crushing them on the deck and render ing escape out of the question. It is impossible to describe the scene that ' followed. The Ij.Kit ti.jntitpj-"•! to j tie on its side deeper into the w::tcr, taking with it many passengers who were stunned by the fall of the upper deck and were unable to help them eel ye? Scores sank in the water witli- Ipot an effort, while many others who were precipitated into thij river unhurt rent the air with their vain appeals for that succor which those of the passen gers who were safe were powerless to extend. The utmost exertions were | nut lorth to rescue as many drowning j one* a* possible, and mat)) were sayed from a watery grave. As soon as pos. j sible help was secured, and the work I of recoveting the bodies from the river 1 and from the wreck was proceeded ' with. The bodies were placed on the ! steamboat Louise as fast as brought up, and then taken to the Com tuny's | docks, where the tusk of identification ! began. The accident occurred at about I a quarter past 6, and it was midnight before the bodies so far recovered were brought back to the city. Here the most heartrending scene ensued. The bodies, as fast as transferred from the steamer, were laid out in rows on the by the river side, ujl in their hol iday attire, and with the aid ot torches the faces were eagerly scanned by hundreds of anxious friends looking for the missing. A goodly portion of the drowned are men in middle life and many are children of tender years. Many were th° wails of sorrow which followed the iucntiuraiion of relations. Perhaps it is a mother who discovers herchild, or children a parent. One man was heard inquiring for four chil dren. As fast as the corpses were claimed they were taken in charge by their friends and removed *o their homes. The utmost confusion pre vails. It is impossible at. present to secure a complete l'st of the drowned, but many prominent citizens and their families arc included in the number. When the wat'T was let off bv the removal of the plash boards the search was continued for those under the low er deck and 22 more bodies were (•rough* ta the surface, making about 200 in all recovered. It is not known how many more, if any, are lost. The city council met to-day and passed res olutions of condolence. A settled gloom reigns over the city. It. O Montgomery, leather merchant of To ronto, vvus on boai'<j, but escaped and succeeded in saving many others, lie states that on the pas-age up the cap tain went among the passengers, urg ing th> m to keep on the other side. To one boy he said : 'For God's sake keep on the other side! If you don't you'll have to swim for it " A little later on he saw the water press in over the deck and the boiler go by the board, when the crash immediately took place. Almost all bu.-iness is at a standstill, and crowds line the streets discussing the sad calamity. The burial of the victims is at this hour, 2:30 p m., pro ceeding. A solemn stillness prevails in the city ; flags are at half mas', and the bells are tolling. «'l>le liiidicH.

By oversight last week we omitted the full account of the rubbing of the (iibson and Harper store, of North Washington, this county. The follow ing are the particulars in brief as we have learned them: The store, hard ware, was broken into on the morning of the 20th of May, tie safe was broken open and s niesl,3oo in money obtain ed. Tools, which had been obtained at a smith shop in the village, were found on the floor, but the entrance to the safe was effected without injury to the lock From this it is conjectured that the thieves bad a knowledge of the safe, its combination, etc., and had therefore been enabled to open it with out breakiug its lock. It is possible that they might, by accident, have hit upon the right combination, and it is possible the safe was not locked on that nigiit. Altfr having effected their object they broke into Mr. Harper's dr\ goods store, just across the street, aud took a lot of dry goods, which were a'terwards found near by. Suspicion at first rested upon no one, but we learn that some parties have or \vijl iiy arrested. This robbery, with the one shortly previous at Ceutreville, this county, and the one since at Fredouift, county, indicate, aa organ '.god gang of thieves who are prowling about our country villages tetk.ng what they may steal.

The I'arly Will 1,1 ve Extract from the speech of Mr Woodtn, member of the York State Senate, in opposition to Conkling's re election : "The Republican party has its en trenchment in the hearts of the people. No one or two men are essential to its life or continued ascendency. No man or set of men owns it. There have been times when its agencies were controlled and prostituted to selfish purposes, but that despotism has been brought to an inglorious end. The nomination and election of James A Garfield inaugurated a new era in its history, li s nonrnation was tl;o outcome of an Inspiration higher and nobler and grander than causes or par ty leaders or conventions. The peo ple caught it as his name was borne < n electric currents from sea to sett, and fiom that tinfe to this there has been a National uprise, born of confidence in his wisdom, his integrity and his un challenged statesmanship. There is no ground for apprehension that the Republican party will be deposed. It is the cry of disappointment. It is a prediction \% hich owes its parentage to a vengeful desire for its realization. lliiu Io ;t vP.
