J. 111. WALLACE,,
Tun Volunteer, in speaking of the
Democracy of York county, wises the
following language -
"If we may judge from the tone of
an editorial in the Press of York, the
Democrats of York county are some
what demoralized. The Press appeals
to tbeM -not- to- send—Delegafras-to-fhp
approaching County Convention, with
.can be bribed and intimates very plainly
that bribery hes nominated men in Yorit
county heretofore. The /W. 93 is correct
and we-a-re-ouly-sorry—ibet
it did-not make the same-appeals to the
Democrats of York just one year ago.
We hopo our friend will continue his ap
peals to the good men of York-county to
weed out and repudiate the corruption
ists who have brought disgrace upon the
party.'!
That is very good indeed. Now, how
world it be if the Volunteer would give
some little attention to the 'Democracy
of Cumberland county? If the delegates
. to Conventions of that party in this
county for many years, were not as
corrupt as the York county Democrats
can well get, then the Volunteer must
have borne false witness against them
last summer. And in the very midst of
the - present disgraceful scramble here for
spoils, and with the full knowledge of
many of the games that are resorted to
by all the politicians of that party/ to se
cure nominations, we submit that there
is a little absurdity in giving the York
Democracy a lesson in political morality.
Pray, gentlemen, give us a little reform
in your own organization then ; it is,
certainly, greatly needed. You know
quite enough of your own politicians, to
give you material to lecture them soundly
in every issue of your paper. The York
people had better be 16ft alone, until it
is safe to comPeto fur a Democratic nom
ination in this county without using
money.
AVE received, fast week, several coin
munications of a political clai•actcr
which, after mature consideration, we de
cided not to publisl;. It is scarcely
necessary to state that TILE HERALD is a
koliticaljeurnal, and that its efforts in
'the political field aro entirely in the in
terest of the Republican party. The com
munications to which we refer,although
not perhaps entirely so intended, would
have been construed as affecting tire
struggle in the Democratic party for
nominations for different offices. This
is no bunecru of ours, whatever, and wo
cannot allow our columns to be used in
any manner which Will affect the pros
pects or chances of any of the numerous
candidates. When the nominations are
made, we will use all our efforts to aid
in Lloc defeat of those nominations, but
'we cannot aid in making them.
Whether the 'Democracy in this
county puts up its best man or its worst,
for any position, we shall oppose his
election, because we know that the Be
- publican -Tanks contain men who ftro
just-as worthy mid just as — Competent as
any that can be found in any political
organization, and that the defeat and
destruction of the present Demociatic
party, boty generally and locally is a
prime necessity for the county's good.
If the best inch in Lile.-DollloCrati.o party
are put on the ticket, we shall oppose
their election, because of their political
associations and tendencies, if the worst
men get the nominations, we shall then
have a personal is Welf:ilis a politic:o'oly
jeetion to their success, and shall work
accordingly. But on the question of the •
nomination,We had no interest and can
take no part, nor can we publish com
munications that will, in any manner,•
effect the result. If we were consulted in
the matter of . ,Democratic nominations,
ive should assuredly advise the putting
of all the aspirants on the ticket at the
same time, its that would be acting fairly
and impartially, would gratify the vast
horde of peaces lituaers all at once ; 'would

trouble, and would get them all soinay .

PRESIDENTIAL H01:1E5-AYS:
• Puunitrs the. most senseless clamor
that has .yet,been raised' against Presi
dent Grant is that ho is wasting his time
at summer resorts to the neglect of .his
uties, and the discredit of thitradVocn
ment., The silliness d'f these complaints
is apparent. It is known to be the habit
Of all overworked residents of •a, city whm
have the meanS, to spend_
the sumrier
months at places where they May enjoy
the benefit of mountain, or sea breezes,
and thus to some extent recruit their
physical strength which is always im
paired by a residence iu crowded and
unhealthy places. It would occur to any
ono that the labors and annoyances of
the Presidential - office are more exhaust
ing than any private business can ho. It
is also known that the National Capital
is, timing the summer months, almost
uninhabitable, on account of the heat and
dendency to disease-•--Why theti should
there be a chtmontbat during the heated
term, the President sees - fit -to take his
family to the seaside, in order that they
may there enjoy the health, giving
breezes from the ocean? On this sub
ject the PhiladeliMia:Press liar an artible
which we commend to all grumblers :
"Tire uncalled-for ridicule and on ticisms
of President Grant, because he sees • fit
to 'spend the hot, months away (from
Washington, have made' the authors of
them 'ridiculous, and have ostensibly
failed in their object, which was to make
political capital against him in the
minds of certain claSses, wlio are sup
posed to be influenced by the journals in
question. But the hue and cry Las been
as great as though the Government was,
in imminent danger of eternaloverthrow_
shoulchhe leave for a day. It would be
supposeci•from the clamor that a Presi
dential vacation' was unheard of until in
troduced by, Grant_;_ but in truth it is only_
a revival of the oustom of the early
Presidents. Washington spent most of
the hummers at Mount 'Vernon, going up
CO the capital only rarely. Jefferson con-
Chairman
fined himself more closely to the capital.
But ' Madison took' long holidays. Ile
took his seat in 1800: That year he
was absent from the seventeenth -of July
to the first of October, returning but
once during that time. The next year
he was absent from July ninth to October
sixth. In the third year%f his adminis-
tration his vacation lasted from July
twenty-fifth to October third. - In the
fourth year, 1812, the trouble with Eng
land required him to be at his post; so
that he got but two weeks' furlough ;
but in the following year, the first of his
second term of office, ho was absent
eleVen weeks. In 1814 his vacation was
short. In the last year of his adminis
tration, 1810, his vacation extended
frdm June 5 to October 9.
Monroe took his scat in 1817. Eavink
etermitied on a tour th:Tou,gh the North,
e started in a private conveyance on the
thirty-first of May. He. proceeded
through Philadelphia, Trenton, New
York, New Haven, Hartford, Providence,
Boston, and intermediate places, to Port
land, Maine, thence into -New Hamp
shire and Vermont, afterward visiting
Ogdensburg, Butlido and Detroit, and re
turning toward Washington through
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Ohio toW'ris
which welcomed him were Lancaster,
Delaware, Columbus, Circleville, Chil
licothe, Zanesville, and Cannonsburg.
He reached Washington on the seven•
teenth of September, having been absent
about tl e and a half months. After a
week's attlintion to office, he left for his
country seat, where lie remained a month,
making his absence four and a half
months in all. The next year he was
absent something over three months,
and the following year took an extended
tour through the South and , West, start
ing the first of April, and returning on
the ninth of August, and in the follow-
ing years of his occupancy of the Presi
dential chair It was his custom to be ab
sent from, three to four months. Subse
quent Presidents kept up the custom, Al
though, after then introduction of party
place-hunting by Jackson, they had much
less time for recreation thambefore. The
exacting duties of the war kept the great
Lincoln closely to his post. Had ho lived
for his second term he might also have
found time for summer rest.
These statements show how utterly
absurd and uncalled for is the clamor
against Grant, and tho contemptible
spirit of meanness that watches his every
motion and pries into all his Private af
fairs for the purpose an - faking them the
subject of remark . and ridicule, with the
hope that thereby. some little political .
capital may be made.
,Such a spin it is a
disgrace to American journalism and
A niericau politics. It is base beyond
description."
THE recent riots in New York City,
have awakened a' profound feeling
throughout the entire country,'and the
people are realizing anew tß.dangers of
entrusting the politigians of the Dbmo
eratic party with power. They are so
thoroughly unscrupulous, so much de
termined to hold their places at all
hazards, and so regardless of every con
sideration, except their own aggrandize
ment, that they hesitate at no violation
of law, if it promises to give them oven
an apparent. advantage. These New
York scoundrels desired to propitiate the
mob, and in order to do so, they
were recly to hand the city over to
eir control. But they had nthitaken
their reckoning. The people, without.
distinction of party, protested against
this outrage, and they found it necessary
CD to Stand up fordaw and order. The
mob deceived by their first actions,
supposed that this was merely a-farce to
amuse the order-loving people, and they
supposed they could iwesiune on Miff
man's militia not .being - troublesome.
In this, they were mistaken, and their
temerity cost_ many of them their lives.
Every dead rioter, in Now York city, was
simply a victim of the treachery and
weaknesii of the Tammany politicians.

ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN
STATE COMMITTEE OF PENN
SYLVANIA. ,
- , The Republican party, in appealing
once more to the people of this State for
their support, points with - just pride to
its record, and it fearlessly claims the
renewed confidence of the people be
cause it has been faithful to its trust,
and is committed to the only line of
policy that can secure continued pies
perity to the State and Nation.
- •
The Republicans of this State first
carried both branches of the Legisla
ture in 1810, 'find first elected a Gov:
ernor in 1860. Since then it has held
control of the legislative and executive
bran& es of the Government, until last
winter, when the Democrats obtained
control, temporarily, of the Senate.
In 1860, when Governor - Curtin came
into office, the State 'debt, in round
numbers, was $40,000,000. Shortly af
terwards the Southern rebellion broke
out, :Fed the State was compelled to bor
row $3,500,000, to arm the troops and
protect their borders, thus • adding that
much to the State debt.
In the ten years that have since
passed,alway, this4ar loan of $8,500,000
has been paid off ; the State debt has been
rtduced from $40,000,600 to a little over
$00,000,000 ; the three mill tax which
was levied for Stato purposes on real es
tate prior
~ to 1961 has been repealed ;
the tax on proTessions and occupations
has been taken off ; the 'annual contri
bution of the State to the public schools
has been greatly enlarged ; a system of
schools has been built' Up for the educa
tion and support of the orphans, of sol
diers-who died in the war—a noble ben
efaction, costing over half a Million
yearly; and the affairs of : the State,
generally, have been so managed as to
secure prosperity to thiveople. •
The Republicans of the Nation elected
their Presidential candidate' in 1860, and
succeeded, against many angry threats
from the opposition, in putting, him in
office in March, 1801., Almost imme
diately afterwards, the Government was
confronted by an armed rebellion in the
'South (openly as well' as secretly encour
aged by many Democrats In the North,
whose sympathies still remain with those
who - then took arms to overthrow the
Government), and was compelled Co
maintain the honor of' the National flag
and the integrity of thobountry at what
eVer * cost ; and the four years' war which
f4owed necessarily entailed a'. heavy
debt and burdensome taxation uPon tho
irple." •
Since, the suppreilsion of the robe lion,

peace but to prosperity. The fears:of

the National Government to the•
indue
trics.of the people... : . • •
F••Among'the' necessities grbwing out of
tlio rebellion the NatiOnal GovOrnment
found itself compelled to stdaait to, the..
:States for their ratification, three amend
'Monts to the, Constitution—one. (known
As the thirteenth) abolishing- . slavery 1
another; (the fourteenth ,) securing the
ii.hts ofleitizons to the enfranehised
:laves,. -ankprohibiting the repudiation:
of -any part of the National debtp or the .
payment of any part of the Rebel debt ;
and another (the, fifteenth) 'prohibiting
the States from excluding any ono from
the right of suffrage ion ,riccount. of race,
color, ttr previous condition of servitude.
---.. i,
These three' amendments having all
. be n duly ratified in the method, pointed
o t by the Constitution, arp riow a corn
p vent part of that instrument'. 'Their
adoption stands as the grandest peace
ful achievement of ancient or modern
times. No party ever before undertook
so great a task; and its accomplishment
in so short a space of time, is a work of
which the Republican party may well
feel proud.
To securethe _complete protection of
these emaqipatedand enfranchised peo
ple ismow one of the unquestioned duties
of the nation ; and no party is so fit to'
be entrusted with that duty as the party
which has done the preliminary work.
The party which has hitherto continu
ously resisted the policy thus established,
is not the, one, now, to carry it out.
During the war for suppressing • the
relfellipi4 and in carrying out the groat
measures which have necessarily flowed
from it, the Democratic party has con
tinuously been in the opposition.- It op
:posed the adoption ofstringent measures
to put down the rebeilion ; to-levying of
troops to suppress it; the borrowing of
money to pay the cost of the war; the
emancipation proclamation of President
Lincoln ; the adoption of all the amend
monis to the Constitution ; the recon
struction measures by which the revolted.
States were brought back into the
Union; and, , generally, every measure
necessary-to the successful .prosecution
of the war, or to the successful restora
tion of peace.
4 t-present,-toorit—is—oppOsed—to_tlie
means necessary for raising revenue to
pay the interest on the public debt,- and
secure its steady reduction; is in favor
of a semi:repudiation of that debt by
paying in a depreciated currency, if
paid at all ; is watching for an opportu
nity to annul the new amendments to
the Constitution ; and is generally com
mitted to any line of policy which will
remit the country to its condition prior
to 1860.
It may be urged 'here, that the Demo
cratic party in this State, in the ninth
resolution of the platform adopted by
its late State convention, has acquiesced
in the adoption of the amendments of
the Constitution wo have referred to,
and cannot be now charged with hostility
to them. We answer that the acquies
cence expressed in that resolution has
not, .itself, been acquiesced in by the
rank and file of the party. Over one
third of the convention voted strenuously
against it, and the action of the conven
tion has since been repudiated by many
leading men and journals of the party.
Besides, whatever acquiescence has been
'given, has been given sullenly and not
h . cartily--:as a matter of policy, ,spring,
lag from party necessity, and not from a
conviction 'of its propriety. Wherever
a vote has been honestly g;:iveri, or voice
sincerely raised for this "new depar
ture," it may very properly be regarded
as an extorted eenfession that the Re
publican party has all long been right in
what the Democratic party has steadily
opposed ; and this confessed, what need
is there, or can there be, for the further'
existence of the Democratic party?
Gen. Grant came into office, in,
he announced his determination to
secure the honest and faithful collection
of the revenue, the steady redUction of
the public debt, and such an abatement
in taxation as was consistent with this
policy. In the space of little over two
years this determination, faithfully ad
hered to, has resulted in paying of $230,
000,000 of the public debt, and in the
abolition of nearly all the taxes imposed
under previous laws.
In addition to this he has, by his wise
and firm foreign policy, - "succeeded in
settling all our outstanding difficulties
with Great Britain, in a manner alike
honorable and advantageous to us as
people.. The treaty, lately ratified by
both nations, which remove causes
of quarrel and establisbee_ peace and
amity between them, and cSnunanded
the admiration of the civilized world,
and placed the United States in the fore
most rank among the nations of the
earth. This result is one of which every
American may justly feel proud. '
.To continue the Republican party in
power is to continuo the policy begun,
both in State and nation, of maintain
ing the , public credit, paying off our
debt, reducing taxation, settling inter
national difficulties without blood-shed,
and sustaining the great principles in
volved in the measures necessarily grow
ing out-Of the war.
To restore the Democratic - party to
power. is to;destray—the , public 'credit,
pave the way for repudiation, bringin
the old tide ,of corruption, misnanage
'ment and extravagance, and .open up
anew all the+Neations involved in the
reconstruction of the Southern States,
ow settled upon an honorable basis.
For ,present proof of this we refer to
the consequences flowing from the ac
cidental majority of the Democrats in
the Stato Selite last winter. To that
fact wo owe a session prolonged to the
middle of May, at
. au extra cost of $lOO,-
000 ; the re.establisbniont of the forsaken
policy of employing extra (and useless),
officers in the Legislative bodies, and
granting them extra pay ; an appropria
tion bill increased beyond all former'
bounds, to the extent of half a million ;
the defeat of all measures for calling a
Constitutional ConVenticin at an early
day to put an end to that curse of our
State; SPECIAL LICOISLATION ; and, as
if deterieed to show that this curse
should not be removed by their aid, the .
enactment of the enormous number of
1800 local bills. And this is but a tithe
of what wo should have had to endfire
bhd they bad both houses and the Cloy
ernor on their side.. • .
A. still further proof of the unfitness of
that party to ho entrusted with power is
to be found in the, melancholy history
of the Into riots in Nowlfork. • In that
city the Democrats have _undisputed
sway, and, through . it, in the State.
They Lad the power in their bands to'
proventAhis riot and bloodshed, but
they would not use it either at the right
time or in the right way. Why? • Be
cause the parti is possessed of no prin-
elide which can lead it to' reaped the
righti of man, be they civil or religions.
Its solo idea of rights it ( derived from
the. 'maxim that might makes 'right.
This was clearly evinced in the debate
in our State Senate, hi 1809, on thofif.
toouth amendment, in which the ,Dento•
oratio loader in the Iliac scouted • the i !
Claim that there were any such things
as 'human rights: ' The . idea, ho said,
was it myth and a humbug.

plain, moreover, that the first - act
of prohibitieg , the,, parade, was the le

into view the ferocious claws which,

expect throughout the country should

Groat Fire at the Capital— t Explosien at
the Arsenal.
WABllltiiiTilthi+ July 22.—At three
o'clock this morning an explordou oc
curred in a small magazine at the Wash"
ington_ansonal, which • is used, for the
preparation of rockets, lights and iambi
for.the signal corps. The explosion was
distinctly heard in the northern part of
the city, and was . almost immediately
folloyedhy an alarm of fire.. The eon
sequence was a serlousconflagration, In
volving the destruction of at leak $70,-
000 worth of- .government property.
There wore four barrels of powder in the
magazine. It was fourteen Act square,
double walls, with a elide roof. The
building was not onlyentirely.destroyed,
but the folindation Injured several foot'
below the level of the ground nd the
bricks scattered in all direc one. Ono

the place of explosion. •
The storehouses near by were So mtioli
damaged that only the crooked walls aro
standing. Tho building in 'proximity,
in which are stored 60,000 stand of arms,
was considerably damaged, the slate roof
of whichy for a- distance of nearly 300
feet, looks as though it had been
ploughed in irregular. furrows. All the
windows were shattored,not only in this,
but in other neighboring structures.
The ice houses were leVelled nearly to
the ground, and the trees near by'
stripped of their bark, their branches
broken and their life, perhaps, des
troyed. - Fuses, cartridges, etc., in pro
fusion were scattered all over the
grounds. Ono of the guardi relgtes that;
living about a fourth ofa mile from the
scene of the explosion, the concussion
was so severe as to throw him from his
bed and to break open the doors of his
_dwelling, and also those of the carpenter
shop. Althmigh sevcfal families live
within sixty feet of the site of the maga
zine, none of them sustained injury in
person.
They wore, however, considerably
alarmed by the - pelting of the flying
bricks against their frame_tenements.
Fortunately the largo 'quantity of shot
and shell stored in ono of the buildings
was empty. The engines remained on
the ground•for six or seven boars. Jt
was thought this morning_ when the fire
was in progress that tho loss would be a
million of dollars, but since that time
the officer who made a hasty survey
thinks that the loss will fall far below
half a million.

DEATH OF THE DOUBLE BABY.
ONE HEAD OUTLIVES TILE OMER
• Wo mentioned in our columns yester
day, the presence in Boston of a most
remarkable child, the offspring of Joseph
and Ann E. Finley. It presented the
remarkable as well as the unprecedented
phenomenon of two heads, four arms,
and two legs, and all upon a single body.
The girl—for such was its sex—died ou
the evening of the eighteenth instant, at
No. 6 Bowdoiu street. Thdfirst half or
Weed breathed its last at five, and the
second shortly after eight o'clock. The
many thouiands in the' Western—and
Middle States who:have seen this marvel
ous eccentricity of nature, will learn its
early death with regret. The child—or
children as it would almost seem proper
to allude to the phenomenon—had en
joyed excellent health from her birth,-
nine months ago, until within two weeks,
at which time one exhibited signs of
illness. This, however, was but tempo.-
rail , . It recovered, and was Might and
playful. Since reaching Boston, a few
days since, the other—or the other half
—was taken sick and died yesterday
afternoon as already stated. The two
portions of the body were's° intimately
connected that the death of ono rendered
that of the other inevitable. The spec
tacle was equally novel, strange and
unparalleled. Upon ono end of the body
repescd the head of the dead infant ;
upon the other that of the live ono with
its eyes still bright and curious, and its
hinge in full breathing order. All that
medical aid could accomplish was done,
but it was found unavailing. The ehild
died in the presenCe of its parents.
The corpse presents the appearance of
two infants asleep. Apparently they es
caped the ordinary suffering incident to
death, for the countenances had the ex
pression 'of repose. The disposition of
the body is not determined upon. Sev
eral of our physicians were desirous last
evening of having it opened. .It is
doubtful - if the parents consent: They
reside in Monroe county, Ohio, and live
on a farm. They have other children,
but none have exhibited any unusual
developments. - Nor can this extraor
dinary departuie from the laws of nature
be accounted for. " In Philadelphia,
whore all the medical colons undertook
to solve. the problem, nothing whatever
was brought to light. The child was
looked upon with amazement and inter;
est, but all attempts to account for its
existence were futile.' It is regarded as
more of a curiosity than the Siamese
twins, as most certainly the spectacle
was more pleasurable to the eye. The
child was shortly to havei been exhib
ited to the public, and would doubtless
here, as elsewhere, have attracted
throngs of visitors. The parents wore
especially devoted to the little marvel,
and their sorrow is grieviiiii.—Lloseun
