Probably the bitterest enemy of Sun
day cars does not object. to riding to the
church of his choice in his own carriage.
Yet, to do so . is an infraction of the dec
alogue. You have no more right to
work your horse. than your hired man.
Why object to transportation by strs,et
cars ? Your coachman drives you
. to
church, and the car 'driver drives your
poorer neighbor.. Wherein is the diff
erence? Sunday cars are fashionable
in New York, and. in most Northern
cities ; and we have patronized thew
freely. " Abolish thein to-day, and you
would empty five in every six chnrchei
in that City next Sunday.. From 9 to
161, A. M., Sunday s the cars are literal
ly crammed 6n every line. We never
heard Sunday cars denounced by any
New York clergyman; on the contrary,
ice hav%heard clergymen approve the
pradtice frequently.

That Col. Fornly wishes 'to break

in favor of Sunday cars, for the accom 7

We say that we shall, be glad to hear
that x. the workingman in Philadelphia

cheap rate ; or take his family out of a

fresh air, and sunshine, and groves, and
grassy fields do not awako emotions of

and the Board of Home Missions may
cease to waste tracts upon them.
Philadelphia is aeort of Quaker City.

Mr. Secretary Seward' has \performed,

ith Russia, by which a large desert,
carpeted with snow and ice a thousand
years did, is to be ceded tu n , the United
States for the slim of $17,500,000. Mr.

feat will coax:tte American people into
forgetfulness of the villainies - im
becilities of himself and Andrew John

We trust the press of the country will'

ng Trin Richmond Virginian quotes the TT©w
York Workrit 'suggestion rdiout the propriety of
armed resistance to th'e leg,ishttion of. Congress if
it only bo successful; and says it has an indis
tinct recollection of similar aid und comfort prom
ised six years ago by peeipld who afterwards
fought against instead pf for; the South. And it
" does not hesitate to say but for - the encourage
ment given by Democratic'journals and
North, the Southern people would not have
restored to Secession as a remedy for the un
doubted wrongs they were then suffering in the
Union." •
The Richmond paper- states only the
fact. So late as May, 1861, Captainl af
terward Maj. General Jordan, -in the
Confederate service, but then of the U.
S. army, stated to us expli6itly, and
with an emphasis which carriedeonyic
ton with it, that the Northern Demo
cratic leaders had pledged their South
eirt friends to pulnot less than 100,000
armed men in the field against the gov-i
ernklient. When we mildly, suggested
that Niorthern ,Demoeratic politicians,
were not fond •of facing bullets, he•
gnashed his teeth and denounced them
as liars and cowards. The letter of
Frank Pippo to Jeff: Davis, which .
came to light tWo, years later, eorrobor
-ated Jordan's statement, and conflims
'the statement above copied from the
' Richmond paper. ,
Occasionally we find a - threat of war,
contingent upon something- the Radi
cals may do or undo; in the Copperhead
•paperg. 'We believe 'it was this party
which elected It GoVtrnor and 'three
bongresimen-in the State of Connecti

Congress adjourned leaving one im
portant duty unperformed. It should
have patinted its plan for sweetening
the African. The Reconstruction meas
ure seems to have performed the .work
as well as any compound of Cologne,
Balm of a Thousand Flowers, Musk,
and the Night-Blooming Cereus. The
great Negrophobic Head Center, The
World, declares that a clean negro has
no more offensive odor about hiea than a
clean white. It ',further declares that
the colored people of New York are a
higher grade, morally, than , the game
class of whites ; and that as a class, the
negroes give*the police comparatively
little trouble, being rarely %hrotight be
fore the Courts for drunkenness or . mur
der. The World has not just made this
discovery ; the facts it states are.old.
The police reports of every city in the
country established them years ago
But the negroie to be a voter in

orization and moral elevation. The
black bull' threatens to gore the white
ox; hence these tears. ,
The State and municipal ejections in
Ohio, Michigan, lowa, and Missouri;
held within the last two weeks, have
gono nearly solid for the Republicans.
The City of Detroit went Repnblican for
the first time in. five years, and we have
elected a large majority of• the delegates
to the State Constitutional Convention
throughout the State.'
The Republicans elect their candid
date for Mayor in Cincinnati by an•in
creased majority of 3000.
The Republicans elected their candi
date for Mayor in Dubuque, by a ma
jority of 300. Last year the.,Copper
heads had 250 majority.,
St. Louis- went overwhelmingly Radi
cal.
During the last days of March . the
GenCral Appropriation Bill, for the ex
penses of the, State Government for the
current year, was reported to•the House.
One•item attracted our attention—that
appropriating the sum of $BOO to each
Senator and Representative in addition
to their regUlar salaries. We have been
looking anxibusly'for the action of the
Legislature as regards that Item, but up
to the present time have seen nothing
of it. We see it stated that the item
passed muster in the House, but'the.of
ficial journal fails to corroborate the al
legatioji, -and we can only hope that it
is a false statement..
floweVer, should the LegislatUre be
reckless enough to commit this outrage,
we trust that Gov. • Geary will once
more interpose his veto bet Ween the
.rapacious Legislature and the treasury.'
He has already won tlie esteetn - orall

upon hasty legislation, having vetoed
twenty or thirty bills 'during ther•sess

ATTEMPTED MUADER.—AB Mr. A. S.
Washburn was going home on Saturday
vening last when on a corner of Jack
son street-he was' knocked down and
robbed of his watch, some notes, and
other papers, and dragged across the
'railroad and thrown into a clay pit.
His assailants evidently Intended to kill
him, as•he was' terribly . cut about the
head and face , and there is no doubt
that he was left for dead. He Was Jen,
dered senseless by the blows he receiv
ed, and knows of nothing that trans
pired. He was found nearly an hour
afterwards and taken to his 'former res
hience-'near the coal works, where his
wounds were dressed:and he was then
taken home. -He is at present doing
Well, • notwithstanding his numerous
woundd'arid bruises. The villains who
attempted to take his life were no do,ubt
actuated by the hope of obtaining mon
ey, as no one who knows him could in-+
flictinjury on him for any other pur-t
poße.-
This is the fouith incident of th
e n
which occurred in that immediate vi
cinity within the past two' weeks, and
it is to be hoped that something maybe
done to bring offenders to justice, and
protect the lives and property of, our
citizens.—Bradford Reporter.
THREE CJIILDREN BURNED.-Dr. J.
.L Holloway of Nittany Hall, whp was
an eye witness soon after the occu rren c e,
sends the following : .
A m",
st shocking atihir took place on
the 30t ult. in Clinton county. Three
childr 1 of ' Michael Krapes, respect
ively a x, four, and two years of age,
burned to death in a small pig stable
which was partly filled with hay on
the day of the accident. The oldest
bi:kild was in the habit of smoking,- and
before entering the stable with the other
two children, he procured matches, and
either . directly • with the matches or
through the fire of his cigar. set the hay
on fire and all were burned, into com
plete crisps before help reached them.
The mother heard the screams of the
terrified children, but concluded they
were actively . engaged at play. An
older sister was the first to discover the
situation of the children: and at once
gave alarm. She hastened to remove a
board from the burning stable when, to
her horror, the •three children rolled out
crisps. The remains were burled on
the 31st inst: in the presence of a large
concourse of people.
A Altiscui,lut CHRISTAAN.—The New

would Make mitice-meat.of him, where
upon the parson rose, took of his coat
and quietly remarked: "You said you
ivere.going to make' mince-meat out of
me.' Perhaps it is time to begin the op
eration. If you are ready, I . am." On
this manifestation of the willingness to
try other measures than verbal rebuke,
thelmpertinent blusterer "dried up,"
and ; no mord trouble was .heard from
nine. '
.(freely says there are , 100,000 persons
in New York to-day who, if they had
- been placed in the garden of Eden when
Adam was, would have soon starved to
death , there for want of some one to
pluck the fruit ' and
.put it in their
tuouthtg. And there are 200,000 who
would have stolen it without any sug
gestion from the serpent; And yet this
sorf•of population elects the city gov

trols the whole State!

started home. 'On his way he sat down
by a log on the road and went -to sleep
