' .There was another of those terrible torna
doesfor which the
,West is becoming fa
mous, last Thursday afternoon, near Wash
lowa. It is described as sweeping
everything before'it, and causing.great de
struction of property and life.
The 'Government has made what may
justly be called a great hit in the postal card
business. According to the Postmaster
General, the orders for the cards up to last
Tiniraday reached the ehormous,number of
25,000,000. For these the Department will
receive the pum of $250,000; while the cost
of manufacture but $34,000. It is esti
mated that $lO,OOO is a liberal allowance for
the additional expense of delivery through
the mails; and if it is; the Government
makes a clean profit of $200,000 by the op
eration. Of course the demand for the
cards will drop off after a time, but Mr.
Creaswell believes it will continue very large.
The Legislature of New York has passed
a sensible law 'concerning firearms. It pro
vides that any person who points, any fire
arm at another, without malice, imitable to
a fine of not less than five and Aot more
than fifty d,ollars. If the weapon is dis
charged whits thus playfully pointed at an
other, though the subject of the joke is not
injured, the ;oker is subject to a vote of ono
hundred dollars, or imprisonment for one
year, or both, at the discretion of the court;
and in case the person lit:Anted
not
injured,
the himiorist is to be fined not less than
five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned for
not more than two years. If any person is
injured in this manner, he can bring a suit
for damages against the person who pointed
the weapon; -and if any person is ki)led in
this playful way, his heirs or representatives
can recover damages. The act seems to be
hardly severe enough in case of death, but
otherwise it is a good one. We believe it is,
copied substantially from a Michigan stat
ute, and it would be a good thing to pass
around to all the States.
President Grant last Thursday issued a
proclamation announcing that the Governor
of Louisiana had called upon him for aid
in pulling down armed resistance to the
State imthorlties, and commanding all tur
bulent and disorderly persons to disperse
and retire peaceably to their idiocies within
twenty days. The preamble of the docu-
ment,statea vigorously and conclusively the
• reaseps , which prompt this decisive step.—
It refers to the decisions of the condi of
the State affirming the validity, of the Key
, logg Government, and the tacit recognition
of the same Executive ,by Congress. The
necessity for this action is to be regretted,
but in the present State of Louisiana affairs
it seems inevitable. We hope and believe
that the proclamation will accomplish its
work without any application of, actual
force, for the people of the South have ac
iquired a wholesome dread'of the power of
the National Governnient. i linder the requi
sition of the Governor no course remains
for the President u4der the Constitution but
to issue this warnirig, and,, if necessary, to
folio's*, it up by the prompt punishment of
the unruly.
The news froin.Franceis i of the most im
portant and interesting character. After an
exciting seslon,- the Government was de
feated in the Assembly by a vote of 300 to
344. The Ministers at once tendered their
resignations to M. 7 1 4 4iiers, and-that gentle
nAan followed suit by'sending to the Presi
dent of the Assembly, a message announc
ing his resignation as 'president of the Re
public, A motion was at once made to ap
point a successor to M: Thiers, and this pro
duced a terrific uproar. The late President's
supporters moved that his resignation be not
accepted, and this motion was rejected by a
vote of 308 to 339. An etibrt was then made
"to postpone the election of a new President;
but it failed, and Marshal MaeMahon was
elected by no votes, M. Thiers's friends not
Voting. This defeat of the Republicans
caused intense excitement in Paris
, but the
.
dispatches of J Sattirday evening say that
perfect quiet prevails there and throdghout
France. So far, the leaders of- the defenied
" party have proved themselves worthy 'the
name they bear. Their journals are
galls G
and prudent in tone, and M. ambetta ails
upon all Republicans to respect the law.—
The new President has issued 'a
manifesto
accepting the trust confided to him, and
promising to obey the will of the Assembly
" as an honest man and a soldier.'
" Who burned Coimbra'?" is a question
that has \ been asked more than once; and
been answered in at least two ways. The
point was recently mooted before the Mixed
Commission, now sitting at Wirshington,
engaged in considering some British claims
for cotton burned \ during the, war. Mr.
Wade Hampton, late 'a General.in the rebel
army, testified before this Commission that
the -Union soldiers burned the sity. ' But
. Clenerals Sherman, Howard, and Logan say
that the city was on fire when they entered
it, Hampton having been burning cotton
therein for many hours before the Union
forces reached it. • Gen. Sherman's testimo
' ny on this point waspublished in full by the
New York Times a few days since,' and
as interesting as a play. It was given with
soldierly directness and frankness, and with
all a soldier's contempt far the poltroon who
ran away without offering any effective re
fill:italic° our troops. The hero of " the
away without
to the sea" says that he rode into Co
lumbia at the head of hta army, and that
the bridges at the edge of the city and the
depots to its bead were already la flames;
that the main street up which he passed was
piled with burning cotum for four hundred
yards, and that his soldiers immediately
wept to work. to slop the conflagration of
the city. The Geperatsaya mat, if gamy.

There were' some few lioliticians who were
conspicuous by their absence; lint they
proved their sagacity by remaining away, -
for they were men who bad a baud in the
salary-grab Congress, and the. tone of the
I Convention was not at all comforting to

creased pay for services already recil.-Acti,"
apd demands that the '. l -provisions of tbe lute'
Piet of Congress by which the salaries were
increased shall be pr6mptly and

are told was adopted "with 'cheers and
shouts." This Convention is the first repre-
Seatative body of the party which has as
'
'scuibled since the Congressional-steal, and
i,s opinion of that job is the opinion of the
' Whole . party—the culprits of course being
lexcepted. Everywhere Republicans de-
nounce the swindle, just as they do in Ohio;
and everywhere they will repudiate the
swindlers, just al3 they have in Ohio.. •

Last Thursday the Constitutional--`Conven
tion used up most of the morning in fixing
the amount of salary which the members
are to receive. The Legislature originally
ocfi d the salary of each member at the sum
o $1,000; but before the delegates were elect-,
e the salary clause was repealed, and $5OO,-
was appropriated for the whole expense
o the Convention, the amount of salary
aing left to the discretion of that body.---
A committee appointed for the purpose
named the sum pf $2,500. Bpon this report
there was great diversity of opinion. —The
general opinion seemed to be that theconn
try members were equitably entitled to more
than the Philadelphia delegates, beCause
they were detained entirely from their busi
ness and were at greater expense of living
in the city away from home. Mr. Weiler
ill, a city delegate, opposed the report for
the reason that the amount appropriated.
would not be sufficient to meet this-heavy
draft upon it. 'Judge Black expressed his
in terms not very complimentary to
the Legislature. Ile said, " The Legisla
ture have, baited the trap with $500,000;
asking us to . walk in and help ourselves,
thus Making ourselves as infamous as they
are. It's just a big steal." Ife,claimed it
was illegal for the Convention' to fix any
salary, and offered a resolution to that effect,
which was voted down.
After several efforts to reduce the amount,
the report of the committee
_was adopted
and the salary fixed at.s2,sofi • and mileage
at ten cents per circular mile for two ses
sions, by a vote of CO to 44.
While we are ,of the opinion that the
amount fixed is not too large in view of the
length of the session, yet we share Judge
Black's notion that the Convention has been
led by the Legislature into a line of action
Which was undignified and , may prove inju
ricnas to its reputation. The people are justly
sensitive in regard to public servants fixing
their own compensation, and while nobody
can well condemn the Convention for dis
charging a task imposed by the Legislature,
nlany will think it should have followed the
line of action pointed out by Mr. Black,
and left the amount of pay to the immediate
representatives of the people. •

Mr. Chase and the Administration,
One of those " independent" journals
that delight to wrest - every bit of news in
which the people are interested to the preju
dice
. of the Administration, received ,a se
vere set-back the other slay. We refer to
the New York Tribune, a paper that can
find nothing but evil in - the Presideitt_or, his
supporters. A few slays after the death bf
the late Chief Justice-1.101 journal published
what,pu I pkted to be anuccount of a recent
interview between Mr. Chase and Mr. Sum
ner, reported by its Washington correspond
ent, the evideq_objeet of the story being to
throw Mr. Chase's great name int r o the scale
against the Administration.' The value of
this little bit of Tribune romance will be
properly appreehtted after reading the fol.
lowing very decided testimony : of an it ti
mate friend of. the late Chief °Justice aS ,, ,
dressed to the editor of that journal:
nth Editor of the Tribune.
Sra:—l have just returned home from the
funeral of the late Chief Justice, and desire
to call your attention at the earliest moment
to a report published in the Tribune on the
Bth instant purporting to give the substnUce
of a conversation held between Mr. Sumner
and Mr. Chase at their last interview. Mr.
Chase is reported as having said to Mr. Sum
ner as follows:
" lie (Chase) spoke with apprehension of
the'prosperty of the country, and grieved
at the tendency of the ptesent Administra
tion."
ir
This statement, sogr avely put forth, as
almost the last public tterance of the dy
ing Chief Justice, and SQ. calculated, white
all hearts are warmed ward his memory,
to be received with un sual respect and con
sideration by his count 3:men, seems to me
calculated to do grey injury and injustice
to The living, and ought not to be allowed
to pass without comment or criticism. No
man would respect the word of Senator
Sumner more than myself; and my personal
regard for him would forbid any effort on
my part to question the' accuracy of any
statement made by him over his own signa-'
lure, but in this case I ant 'confident the
statement as printed conveysAwhollierro
neous idea, and' does not in ans' kn. 4,0 ex
press the real convictions of-Mr. Chase, for
it is in utter opposition to his well-known
and often-expressed opinion. Nor does it
sound at all like Mr. Chase, nor agreeim any
manner with what I know were .the views
and opinions he held of (len. Grant or his
-Administration. The President Mr. Chase
regarded as an absolutely honest, incorrupt
ible, and patriotic man, of excellent sqnse
and rare good judgment, oarnestly striving
to do his best to govern the country faith
fully and well. .And he always spoke of his
Aditunistration with entire respect and re
gard.
That Mr. Chase was grieved and greatly
annoyed at many things in the present con
dition of Louisiana, as well as the South
genaruilv, and so expressed himself I have
no, oubt; bat he never held the President
or leis .4 , dministration responsible for theth

;
'- So late as after the nomination of -- Mr.
reeley at Cincinnati, while:sitting with Mr.

at rigewood, be said to me that Gen.
rrant, upon the whole, had given the coun
y an excellent Administration - had made
es few mistakes as could have been expect
ed from a plan who was new to life
and the public men of .the nation; . and said
he, emphatically; "I believe he ts -an 'how.

whole duty toward the country; and I ap
prove substantially of all the acts of his
Administration, •- except his Interference
with the independence of the Supreine
Court, anti have so told the President him
self within a few days."
These views in regard to President Grant
I am confident Mr. Uhase held at his death.
It was never Mr. Chase's habit to speak ill
of- any one; and Gov. Sprague says that in
all the intimacy of domestic life, be never
heard the Chief Justice speak a disrespect
ful word of Gen. Grant or his Administra
tion.
One word in regard to Louisiana. I know
that the President was extremely desirous
that Congress should legislate upon that
subject and relieve him of all responsibility
upon the question. And that no mistake
should occur, or blame attach to him there
after, he informed Congress what he should
do if it failed to direct him otherwise. Con
gress, with full knowledge of the views of
the Administration, adjourned without an}
tion, and the President, under the advice of
• he Attorney General, sustains the Kellog.
Government. The President may have erred
in his conclusion. The Attorney General
may have erred in advising the President to
this-decision. The Cabinet may 'have erred,
also. But, if in error, the Chief Justice be
lieved they were all honest in their views
and ineant for the best. And until Congress
and the Supreme Court shall decide that
they are wrong, it seems to me clearly the
duty of all good citizens to uphold and sus
thin the President in the conclusion -to
Which he has come, let the, consequences be
what they may, as the wisest and only pru
dent course to be pursued under the present
vexatious and troublesome condition of
Lairs in that State. R. C. PARSONS.

Captains Tyson and Eu . ddingio * n.
A New York gentleman who has been
connected with a shipping hOuse in New
London, Conn., which foretell employed
both - Captain Tyson and Captain Budding
ton, says:
"Captain Tyson, six years ago, was the
principal in au adventure singularly like
that of the Polaria.: lie was in command of
the schooner Era on a whaling voyage from
New London to Greenland. In the fall
of; the year, while lying in Cumberland
Sound, the vessel broke from her moorings,
and he was obliged to abandon her with all
his crew of twenty-four men, taking with
him the stores and provisions. Makihg his
way to the shore with -the crew,-lie,
tents• of sails taken from the vessel, and
lived under them during the entire winter.
llis vessel was five miles from the shore in
he pack ice, without anchorage,!all the time.
When the ice broke; up in the spring, and
seeing that the ship - was not seriously dam
aged, ho regained it, filled it with oil, and
returned to New London. i
"Tyson is a brave, dashing captain,;-who
will expose his vessel to the danger of an

predicted, when the expedition started, that
Buddington would bring back his vessel

concerned, to this end. But the story that

Modern Newspapers:
Newspapers arc getting to be triticfr more
than mere transcripts of the newaimid gos
sip of the day. They arc pioneers in learn
ed exploration; they 'are foremost in, geo
graphical and historical discovery; they are
the teachers of social science. They arc no
longer satisfied with disseminating theltnow
ledge laboriously collected by savans, by
travelers,, by experimenters in natural phi-
losophy; they Must pursue their own inves
tigations, and send their agents into all' the
half-explored fields of science and adven
ture. The reporter of to-day is the adven
turer who penetrates the desert and the jun
gle; the scholar who searches for relies ,of
the forgotten past; The courier who .pears
the news of victory to courts atal Congresses
across a wilderness and through-rhostile.ar
mies; the detective who pries into public
abuses and discovers hidden wrongs; the
• iioneer who throws new countries open ,to
-" 1 e world; the philanthropist' who unbars
the door of the torture-chamber; the chem
ist who detects adulteration in the spice box;
the inspector who seizes false weights and
measures; the auditor who exposes a theft in
the public treasury. Journalism busies it
self now , with everything that affects the
public welfare. It trenches upon the prov
ince onceisacred to the scholar, and supplies
the defects of an inefficient government.—
Year by year its ambition becomes larger,
ifs purposes more beneficent, and its means
more abundant; and we can hardly doubt
that it is destined in it'very abort time to be
the foremost of all the secular professions—
the most, powerful in its operationS, the
most brilliant in its rewards, tind - most inie

Incendiarism:
The National Board of Fire Underwriters
at their late meeting in the city of New
York 'resolved to raise a fund of $lOO,OOO
for the detection, conviction, and punish
ment of parties engaged in the nefarious
business of incendiarism and arson. The
executive committee of that board at their
meeting on the 14th instant carried out the
resolution and opened the subscription. - -
We hail this'movement •as a step in the
right direction, and commend the action as
one not only likely to benefit underwriters,
but also to protect the public from whole
sale loss. This action is the most important
when it is remembered that the experience
of the large companies transacting the busi
ness of fire insurance in the United States
shows that the percentage of loss to be at
tributed to , the -above causes is not /less than
83 per cent. of the whole, or a bps to the
country of at least twenty-five mfllions of

ANNIVERSA . THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION OF TIOCIA COUNTY.—On Tues
day and Wednesday, the 13th and 14th inst.
I.4awrenceville opened her hospitable doors
to the Sunday School workers of the county,
an enthusiastic, earnest body of men and
women engaged in the holy work of making
Bible study popular. They came from ev
ory,part of the county, bringing with them
encouraging news; many new schools have
been organized during the year; the-attend
ance in old ones has been increased, in some
cases doubled ; many schools of tilt - olden
time have been transformed and now, with a
uniform lesson, teachers' meetings, black
board, maps, papers, etc:, they rejoice, in do
ing i more and bettor work,' and sectarian
strifolis giving way. to Christian love.
Tile meeting was well , attended; the oxer-,
cise were spirited ; no time was lost, and the
Institute was a succes s , the effects. of which
must be felt for good throughout the county.
The questions discussed were practical ones,
and were ably considered by
,earnest and ex
perienced workers, among whom may be no
ticed Boys. Reynolds, Gibson, Mills, Taylor,.'
Bfildwin,Crane, Matthews,
iams, Profs. - Verrill, and Amerinan, Mesbrs. ,
,lloyt, Branch, Casepere, Mather, Bonham,
Mrs. Web:oils, Egan, Elliott, DilliSton, and
Miss Dyer. Each of these and others deserve
special mention but space will not permit.
The review of the lesson of the first quar
ter of this year by Rev. Mr. Reynolds is
worthy of notice. By a series of pictures
designed by himself the story became real,
and the truths taught became to the audi
ence more practical. As he showed the pic
ture of Jacob's vision they audience sung
" Nearer my God to Thee." Now beauties
and hidden truths in this grand old hymn,
revealed by the picture stirred the hearts of
the singers and moistened their eyes.
A noticeable feature in the :exercises was
the model Sunday school. After choosing
Prof. Amerman Superintendent, classes were
formed embracing the entire audience,-and
teachers selected for the school. The school
was then conducted as the Superintendent
thought best. At the close of the lesson he
impressed the) central truth 'of the lesson
more fixedly upon the minds o( the school
by a beautiful and /interesting_ object lesson.
Then followed the criticisms upon the school
among which we noticed, class too much
scattered, teachers too fur from scholars, tea
cheis failed to win attention of class, tea
chers lectured too muLCh, got through with
the lesson too soon, asked questions from a
paper.
The Merit of the following exeicise makes
it woi thy of notice. It was the teaching of
an infant class before the Association by
Mrs. Egan. By her skill in using the black
board she not only won the attention or her
class and succeeded admirably in'teaching
the lesson to them, but, interested the wholef
Association.
The proposition to introduce into the church
for one of the public exercises, a Bible class
composed of the whole congregation;with the
pahtor as teacher, wt►s freely and thoroughly
discussed. A vote upon the question showed
but one dissenting voice. ,
In answer to the question,What d•o our Sun
day schools most heed ? many united in say
ing the earnest co-operation of Christian peo
ple. Why can they not have it? But Where
every thing was good injustice in a limited
report must necessarily be done
Sunday school workers who were absent
have lost what they can not atlbrd to lose.
Those who were present have gone forth re—
solved anew to consecrate their tal4nts, their
time, and their money to the Tervicp.of their
Master. ;•,.
The next meeting of the Asso'elation will
be held at Wellsboro on the third Tuesday
and Wednesday of September. The officers
for the ensuing year are : E. k Branch,
President; C. L. Hoyt, Vice Preenlent ; Rev.
N. L. Reynolds, Secretary; Hon. 11. W.
