A Sad Ocourranco.
, .
It bedomes our painful duty-'to' an
nounce the death of one of the esteemed
and respectable young men of our coun
ty—Benjamin Shove-- - -who was killed
on the _l3th instant by tho accidental
discharge Of hie gun, while hunting in
a pasture six miles northeast of this
city. His body,was not found till Mon
day afternoon last, when Sheriff Fran
cis summoned a jury, and owing to the
heavy rain then pouring down, an in
quest was not held till yesterday morn
ing, when the jury returned a verdict
that the deceased was killed by the ac
cidental discharge of the shot gun in
his Own hands.
Dr. Jacobi, Who was with 'the jury
and heard the evidence of Mr. Roberts
with whom Shove was living, gives us
the following . items : On FSaturday
morning, 15th instant, Shove took down
a double4aarkeled ,shotgun' and told
Roberta ,and his family that he would
go and kill Some squirrels. He left the,
house and was not heard of till he was!
found dead 'Monday afternoon in, the
pasture abciut n half mile from Robert's
hoUse.
- -
When found his body was r reclining
against a log, and he had apparently.
opened his clothes o for the purpose of
examining 'his wound; The wound
Was situate on the left side in the region
of the heart' and,the tissues around its
mouth - inside the':chest were 'destroyed
for a space of froM four to six inches- -
It was impossible to determine the di
rection of the load. His hat lay sever
al yards from where he Was found, and
scattered near the bat pieces of his
watch blown thither by the discharge
of his gun: Dr. Jacobs examined the
'wadding' in his vest near the watch
pocket, and found it burnt—thus indi
eating that the muzzle or the gun was
very cloy to hitobody when discharged.
There were also marks of burnt powder
•on his ,elothing, On his person were
found a letter fom one sister and a
piece of poetry front another. We hear
it stated byli. number orhis most inti
mate friends that he had been 'making
preparations • to leave for Knoxville,
Pennsylvania, there to be married in
June to a beautiful young lady of, that
State, and then return td this coufft.
The gun was found close by with one
barr .1 discharged and the ham mer dpwn
—the other barrel was headed and the
hammer cocked.
Benjamin Shove was , twenty-f ur
years of age, and was a native of Dtich
ees Co.', N. Y. ills parents were re
spectable and among the Cest families
of the State, and of the Order of the
Quakers. Benjamin inmie,d to this
county about two years ago, said it was
through his influence a nunitier of good
and enterprising farmers have been in
dUced to settle in our county. He
taught school at Camden, and also at
Tanner's school house, and had the
reputation of being an excellent teach
er. " While living in this county he con
ducted himself in a manner to' Meet
the approbation of all who road?! his
acquaintance. He was steady in his
'habits—punctual, moral and decisive—
kind and gentlemanly to all. We
mourn his loss as that of a good and
upright citizen.—Riehniond (Mo.) Re
publican.
[The deceased was the youngest sou
of D. S. Shove, Esq., late of Chatham.
He was,a young man of much promise,
and his sad fate will be a' heavy qfflic
tion in the house of his relatives and
numerous friends. He was a faithful
soldier during" the war, and received a
wound at Hatcher's Run. ED. AGI

Decoration Day.
A Correspondent writes : ,
Dear Mr. Editor : I A'vant to ask a few
questions.
How about Decoration day :.:was it
" a desecration of the Sabbath," as
some religious bodies and some others,
have said ? Is a man to be set down;as
morally squint-eyed who " can't see it
in that light ?"
Is united religious service . kdesecra-
Gimp ?' If not, does it • become so, by
being commemorativ% of the services
of the dead heroes , of the war?
Or, is it wicked to visit the grave of a
friend upon the kl'abbath day ? If not,
for one or two; i4 , it for' three, or four,
or mote? Are the rigieetions usually in
dulged upon such a visit, reprehensible?
And is the 'case altered if it ,he the
grave of a soldier?
And strewing the grave with flowers,
if this be not a grateful votive °tiering,
what is it? And if itbe not a sacred re
ligious service, what is it?
What it is, about any of this, that
" desecrates the Sabbath" yon will par
don me for not being - able to see.
I have come to the conclusion, how
ever, that sanctimonious rodomontade
is not religion, and pious cant is not
piety. A SoLimEn.
Well2boro, Pa.
Rev. Thos. K. 'Beech r writes in the
Elmira Adrcrtiscp touching the same
matter as felloweth
Decoration day stands a good chance
of becoming one of our holidays. The
late little gush of controversy over, the
Sunday, question, whether decoration
would be a desecration, has served to
call attention to the day, excite inte
rest and arouse the will. They had a
right warm time over it in Jamestown,
eliatauqua county, involving sermons,
votes of the - Board of Education, me
morials signed by citizens, protest of
principal teacher, reconsideration 'by
the Board, co-operation of children and
teachers, but as the result o 1 the brew,
they racked off a first-class Sunday
decoration. Decoration day stands no
chance to be forgotten in Jamestown
for yearS and years to come.
Opposition intensities the opinion of
men. It would not be all surprising if
the G. A. R. should change their anni
versary front May 30, which falls on
Sunday now and then, and appoint the
Sunday nearest the 30 of May, so as to
have decoration day fall on 'Sunday
every year. We are sure that this
change will be made, provided a suffi
cient opposition can be excited.
The practical question upon which
the clergy should•be giving clean dear
teaching, is, What iii holy And when
they give the teaehing, they should
also give clearly their authority ter the
same. How shall we keep a day holy ?
Let every man be clearly persuaded in
his own mind.

Dr. Pratt, of the Corning Journal,
closes a handsome notice of the gradua
tion of one of his printers and his pro

We publish Mr. Strang's speech upon
the 15th Amendment of the Constitu
tion, On the first page, and commend it
to our readers. It is able, consecutive,
and incisive, and grapples with the
questOn without apology or circumlo
cution. Its points willho observed, not
being too fine to be practical, and so
plain that even the•- Democracy may

There was an age when to be born a
Jew was a great 'calamity. "Dog of a
Jew !" was the common salutation of
the Gentile world when one met,or
had dealings with, an Israelite. The
operations of law were exceptional in
the case of the Israelite. )He might
combine all the virtue and nobleness
which - nature sometimes endows , indi
viduals, yet, being a Jew, he was pro
scribed and accursed. We do not:envy
the' an who can, unmoved with keen
emotions of pity and compassiond read
the history of the persecutions of the
Jews in Europe during the Middle
Ages. The Jewish Book of Martyrs
has not been written. For the honor
of the Gentile world we hope it never
may be.
It was customary for monarchs and
noblemen of the dark ages to resort to
Jewtieh money-lenders, for funds. The
laws against usury were severe. These
borrowers—generally many grades low
er morally than the proscribed 'race—
were used to demand accommodation
of their Israelitisk subjects. They did,
not stickle at offering usury. When
the victim cited the law of prohibition,
refusing to break it, the noble gentile
extorted the cash by threats or force.
Having done this it was not considered
dishonorable to cheat the Jew out of
the loan by threatening to have him
flogged or imprisoned for usury.
The case stood thus Thelaw forbade
usury. The lordly borrower gladly
agreed to pay usurious interest for
money. And then he either tcheated
the lender out of the principal and in
terest by threats, or by persecutions
which put the unfortunate man out of
court and banished him to some distant
city. So, between the cruelty and av- ,
arice of the Christian, the Jew was
ground, \as between the upper and
nether Millstones. The usual avenues
of trade; preferment; protection; stat
us in the courts ; all these were refus
ed and denied him. , 1
Why?
Because his nation crucified the Christ
whom these barbarous Christians foully
belied.
This brings us to our subject
The noble Caucasian of the 19th cen 7
tury exercises his cruel and barbarous
authority over the nelAin. At first the
case stood thus: 1. The negro is not a
man. 2. The negro is incapable of
rising in the scale of intelligence. 3.
The negro is lazy and improvident;
be will not work except under the lash.
4. The negro is a bloodthirsty savage.
The negro went to trial upon this in
dictment and hds been practically ac
quitted upon every count. He has
'Proved himself a man. He has learned
to read and write. He has proved more
amiable and more patriotic than his
white masters.
He now comes forward and asks rec-'
ognition as a farmer, as a mechanic, as
a teacher, and in the jvarious walksnf
business. What js the reply ?
1. The negro is an inferior in race.
2. He is striving for i equality with the.
white man. 3. He/should remain where
ho is, a ,common laborer.
The summing up of the case may he
stated thus :
1. The negro will not work. 2. Since
he will work he shall do so at a disad
vantage. 3. The negro is incapable of
improvement. 4. 'Since he has learned
to read and write,he is striding toward
equality with the white man and must
be snubbed. 5. Tile negro has grown
insolent and now tries to compete with
skilled men. 6. Let every avenue to
progress and improvement be closed
against this inSolent 'black man, whose
improvement during four years refutes
all our arguments and' brands the Dem
ocratic leaders as liars.
So we see that the Israelites of the
Middle Ages and the African of the
19th century have had their lines cast
in unpleasant and difficult places. We
shall soon see how the Jew, remember
ing the martyrdom of his sires, proves
a better Christian to-day than; thous
ands who plume themselves upon their
Christianity. We shall likewise learn
that nominal Christianity is practical
atheism, and exists to a greater extent
in Christendom than in Jewry.
A son of Frederick Douglass, a col or
ored man; lately applied to the Prin
ters' Union, of Washington, for mem
bership. After full and free considera
tion his application has refused. We
believe he afterward applied to the
Union of New York for, membership
and was refused. Perhaps the Printers'
Union can close the avenues to labor in
that way with impunity; but Wegyess
, not. Perhaps that organization can
\ ttlock the wheels of progress and civil
ization by narrow deeds and petty tyr
anny ; but we'guess not.
We no call upon the Farmer's Un
ion, the hod•otariers' Union, the ditch
HARD .rincms
era' Union, and the men-of-all-works'
Union, to convene, and finish the job
by refusing to let auy colored man labor
for a living. Having declared that the
negro will not work, the politidans
must make haste to prevent his work
ing, else lose caste as prophets and
statesmen.
As to Printers' Unions, we know'pre
°ions little, and care less. ' They are
engineered by men much like other
men, we suppose. Selfish men, narrow
men, dishonest men; 'men of brains,
and men of no brains, doubtless belong
to it, as to other organizations. Would
it not appear, in the light of the trans
action alluded to, that the knaves and
fools just now control the machine?
Would it not be better to bring the man
of common sense forward for a season ?
At all events, let the trades' Unions
understand that such illiberality can
not succeed. If printers fear an invas
ion from Africa there is safety for their
members in Greenland and in Alaska.
There may be safety in the open polar
sea also. There is no safety in this lat
itude. The colored man will win the
way to work in spite of all persecution.
Then the persecutors will be ashamed
of their folly. The men whowould ob
struct the path of any aspirant for bet
ter things,.be the latter white, black, or
red, are practical atheists, denying G'od
as only he can be denied—by dishonor
ing His creatures.
Thomas K. Beecher prepares what he
names "Friday Miscellany for the
Elmira Advertiser. Why it is 'Friday'
miscellany does not yet appear, to us.
Certain it is that much of it is the sort
of pith and 'marrow which should leav
en the Mondays, and other days of our
lives. For instance—he says that—
"A christian bushel is an. honest bushel meas
ured out to the creditor who has sold you a fatal
'of short acres at high prices.
" A obristian pound, is a pound of tea given to
a 'widow, who bas outlived all her friends and
her own good nature. -
"A christian yard is a full honest yard of
muslin sold to a berry woman who sold you in
measuring berries.
" A christian ton is 2000 pounds of hay sent
to your pastor just after . ho has rebuked you foi
some besetting sin."
By which you understand, or ought
to, that christian weight and measure
must not consist in doing by others as
others do by you, but in doing by others
as you would'have others do by you.
That is rather more of,.n. sermon, Mr.
Beecher, than some dis Courses of sixty
minutes.
However—let Dan Noble alone. Such
men live on seeing their names in print.
As to Cuba, reports are pearly as re
liable as they Were from the Potomac
during our own rebellion. Well-in
formed people declare that Spain has
lost Cuba. In other words that Cuba
has put off the Spanish yoke. That
may be. For did I not Mexico, Central
America, and the'Pacific States of South
America, one after another, put off the
Spanish yoke ? And have they not vi
brated between the pillars, of revolu
tion ever since?

The Convention System
Oorrospondonce of tho Agitator
I have endeavored, in any contributions to
your columns, to set forth clearly the anom
aly that exists in our mode of sending delegates
to a county Convention. I also pointed "out a way
to effect a change in such a manner as not to
affect the esprit de corps, and yet broad, liberal,
and progressive in accordance with the spirit of
the ago. And wore it not for tho assurances that
I have privately received from several townships,
that lam understood by them, the hypercritical
remarks of your correspondent "Accidental,"
would have led me to suppose that I had totally
failed in my object. There has been nothing
said that could be dignified with the name of
argument. It has been simply a statement of
facts, accompanied with assertions and sugges
tions. I infer that " Acci" is yet a young man,
(judging from his flippant style). I thank him
for the compliment paid me, that I) have so
readily assimilated the national characteristic.—
I also confess my need of a dictionary; but beg
of him not to lend me his, lest it should lead me
into errors similar to the following: L
"I do know that all
Republic are not
democratic and ours it
among the number."

It is not_ my desire to descend to a personal
controversy; my object is to reform, not to de-'
stroy our party organization. A party that
never advances, dies. A blind obedience to the
- dictates of self-constituted loaders was the down
fall of old Democratic party. A man whose
mental vision is bounded by strict party lines,
retrogades. It is the old cry—" can any good
thing come out of Nazareth ?' that actuates them;
and not until the mischief has been perpetrated,
do they know how short-sighted they have been.
