Now that the Poor House matter is settled will it not be well for the people to turn their attention to the question of honest and decent State government, lest they find themselves all in an alms house with Quay dispensing their rations. Since no opposition is announced against Mr. Showalter for the Jontrres sion;tl nomination he has again consent ed to talk for the benefit of Quay, and takes up the note favorable to Quay men for Governor. It is surprising how great men can talk when Quay mesmerizes them. They have no experience in self-gov ernment by the people—that inalienable right which John Adams and Thos. Jefferson alluded to in the Declaration of Independence. But old chaps like them could not fish and legislate and appoint Post Masters at Cross Roads at the same tame: and their sayings have passed into oblivion before the march of the modern practical politics of Quay and his school of statesmen. But we have a legislature to choose and if they are to represent us let us know where they stand. If they are to represent Quay why not dispense with the unnecessary expense of an election and let Quay appoint them. Ask them these questions. Ist, Are you in favor of the reelection of M. S. Quay to the U. S. Senate; 2nd, Are you in favor of reckless ap propriations and padded pay rolls? Brd, Are you in favor of the creation of expensive and fraudulent investigating committees, to travel over the State for the sole purpose of reforming Quays political opponents, and encourag ing more reckless and shameful acts among his supporters? 4th, Are you in favor of bleeding cor porations for large sums of cash and using it to control primary elections in the interest of one man or any set of men? sth, Are you in favor of the Legisla ture acting in the interest of the people or should they first consult Quay ? 6th, Are you in favor of the Legisla ture passing bills to pay the Lexow Committee, and large sums for extras in thp hnildinsr of the new State o*ni -7th, Should the Legislature pass ap portionment bills as commanded bv the Constitution or must they adjourn and waste time and consult Quay in Flor ida? Bth, Do you want real reform or do you favor Quay's kind of Sham reform? And last but not least—The candi dates for Delegates should also be made to uncover themselves for if they are not right they will be very useful to Quay in adopting a platform that means . nothing.

Lieutenant Blanilin of the Mains give# the following account of the loss of the ship to a reporter: "1 was on watch and When the men had been piped below I looked down the main hatches and over the side of the ship. Everything was absolutely normal. I walked aft to the quarter deck behind the rear turret, as is allow ed after 8 o'clock in the evening, and sat down on the port side, where 1 re mained for a "few minutes Then, for some reason, I cannot explain to my self now. I moved to the starboard side and sat down there. I was feeling a bit glum, and in fact, was so quiet that Lieut. J. Hood came up and asked laughingly if I was asleep. I said, 'No I am on watch.' Scarcely had I spoken when there came a dull, sullen roar. Would to God that I could blot out the sound and the scenes that followed. Them came a sharp explosion—some say numerous detonations. I remember only one. It seemed to me that the sound came from the Port side forward. Then oop until I left, the last man it was possible to reach having been saved. It must have been three quarters of an hour or more however, from the amount of work done. "I remember the officers and men worked together lowering the boats, and that the gig took some time to low er, I did not notice the rain of debris described bv Lieutenant Blandin or others who were on deck at the time of the first explosion, but I did observe the explosion of the fixed amunition. and wonder that more men were not hurt thereby. "Without going beyond the limits of what was proper in the harbor of a friendly power, I always maintain pre cautions against attack, and the quar ter watch was ordered to have ammuni tion for the smaller guns ready to hand so that in the improbable event of an at tack on the ship it would have been found ready. It was this ammunition which exploded as the beat reached it." Fnirvicw Facts. The two week's revival in the M. E. Churh, conducted by Rev. Dunkle, wound up iast week, with an earnest effort to revive souls. The Presbyterians started their pro tracted meetings last Sunday evening, conducted by Rev. W. L.

Mrs. Wilson had retired for the night, and the squire was down town, quietly sitting in his office when one of the gentlemtn disturbed his serenity by informing him that he was urgently wanted at his home. To say he was sur prised would be putting it mild and as the Squire verv aptly put it in a few well chosen words of welcome, that he was almost speechless with surprise and pleasure, and it must be a very great surprise indeed which con id deprive him of speech, which was responded to by Mr. J. E. Muder. Jr. and Prof E E Graham. Mr. Muder said the party was for the purpose of shewing the high esteem and honor with which Mr. Wilson and family are held by their friends and neighbors.
