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.

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.

Butler was again lively and full of
people on Monday last, May 3ft, in
memory of the fallen soldiers during
the late Rebellion. The Court House
was crowded at the organizing meeting.
Lien. tJobu V. Purviance acted as
chairman. The following are jiis re
marks on taking the chair :
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: —I thank
you for the distinction of calling me to
j#i-e?id£ fver the proceedings of this
large assemblage of fr'Hy?.' citizens
and friends, and the more do I ttianli
you because of the memorable events
»BrQpipJpd with the occasion, events
that' cannot pi-Unli lofin; as love of
home and country, civil and religious
liberty inspire the American heart.
The present is an occasion that in
spire* grand and solemn emotions of
the American peojiitj.
We have met to pay the annunl hoiir
ors to the metnorj of the fallen heroes
who died in defence of unity of the
freest and best government on the face
of the globe, the unity of which is the
pride and power of our countrymen,
and assures the respect and admiration
of the civilized world.
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. It is nn act of
sympathy for the grief of the living
and patriotic devotion to the memory
of the dead, whogc agony and whoao
blood contributed so largely to make
our country uuited, happy and pros
perous.
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. And when we strew
flowers upon the graves of the dead let
this thought inspire and animate us:
"Here shall the warrior ca'ai'y rest,
\Vh>;re Qcntiiioriii" death hath captive boan'l
him ; x
Whose step the earth one*; proudly pressed,
With ali his marshaled hosts around him."'

LONDON, ONT ~ May 25.—The work
of muring the dead from under the ,
wreck of the Victoria is still going act
ively on. 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

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.

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. We hope they
may soon be detected, Hied and pun

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.
