THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. N Pennsylvania the co test is so pointedly on the Ring issue, on such stealages as *- Tweed & Co. degraded us with, so full of the rank odor of crime, in fact. that ali other | considerations are absorbed in the one ques- tion, as to whether the infamous Ring which | has plundered Pennsylvania so long shall sur- vive in its infamy or p.rish beneath the biows of the Reformers? In tiis conflict, Pennsyl- vania has the sympathies of all honest men the Union over. Root cut the last vestige of Hart- ran 1e last ve-tize of Addition, Division, | and Silence; break up the Cameron and Cattell | Sombination, which stretches like a network | Ifarrisburg to the Navy Department in

rom Vashington, and then Tweedism will be nearly e for in the United States. | On this issue the split in parties in Pennsyl-, the split in New + York on Tweedism. The best citizens of | Pennsylvania—such an eminent Republican leader as Governor Curtin—Forney’s Grant Philadelphie “css, and like Reformers, subor- | dinate, properly, the National issue to that of State purification. The last desnerate act of this unscrupulous crew, the last card plaved by a set of ruined gamblers, is the pardon of Yerkes and Marcer. The motive for this act is obvious, and will be readily appreciated by ihe people of Pennsyl- vania. To ask the peop!s of that State to vote for Hartranft for Governor, while his colleagues in pubic plunder—his ‘‘dear Yerkes” and Marcer—were suifering imprisonment as con- | victed felons, ws almost absurd. They must, therefore, be ps: loned, whitewashed, indorsed | as innocent v'ciims of persecution, :nd in re- turn they must make affi avits that all their previous assertions, and all the correspondence with Har.ranit. Mackey & Co., are downright forgeries. Buz photography has perpetrated fac-simile of thy documents, and any retraction by these pardured felons of their previous statements will 9 of no avail. This pardon, instead of being » benefit, will be a positive injury to the Hertranft Party. The honest voters of Penn-ylvania are not likely to place | | | |

the government of their State in the hands of men whose charact rs require indorsement from Penitentiary bird: who have been their intimate associates, and who are released upon the express condition and for the sole purpose of procuring their ind. r-ement. Our best wishes and hopes arc with the Pennsylvania Reformers in their contest be- tween Reform and Rascality.

A SAD STORY FROM ALASKA. ‘T\HE history of Alaska is too little known | abroad. Let us tell it. There is a Com- mercial Company in Alaska which is really the Government of Alaska. It will be seen in | the sequel what sort of a government itis. In| FRANK LESUIE’S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER. this far distant Territory there is no govern-

ment except a semi-military, semi-commercial form, / of wh are embod birm to w 1 we have I The mil y FOV iment Poss ) low of pov and it surrenders its prerogatives to the bland- ishments of the Alaska Commercial Company. The commercial body, which is concentrated in Alaska, with a few exceptions, seem to be only disguised branches of this Protean Insti- tuuion. The Company is de facto the Territorial Government. There is no appeal whatever | from it. Nominally, its monopoly is confined | to the fur-seal rookeries of the islands of St. | George and St. Paul ; virtually, it has a mono- poly of the whole Territory. Its agents are | everywhere. The terrified natives do its reck- less bidding like slaves! If they are ordered | to kill the fur-bearing animals, regardless of their sex or condition, they do s0; although | they do not fail to recognize the fact that when the Lease of this Company shall expire, the fur- | 1 1 Learing animals (under t5e sllegal conduct of the Monopoly in this respect) will be well-nigh exterminated. Reckless of an Act of Congress which recu- lates the slauchter of the fur-bearing animals, this Firm 1 man the slaughter of seals

so that tweuty-five per cent. of the skins are wasted in the endeavor to procure such only | as shall command the highest price in the | European miurkets ; all the rest are ordered to be thrown into the sea. As an instance of the oppression of the natives, or Aleuts, as they | are called, in this connection, as well as otf the inordinate profits of the Company, we state that an allowance of but forty cents for each fur-sealskin is made. From a tabulated account of a sale made at the Commer- | cial Salesroom, London, on the 17th of last January, it appears that these skins easily brought seve::teen dollars! The Lease of this Company, be it observed, gives them the ex- elusive right to puichase. So the natives must sell to it, or not sell at all. In this way the furs have so markedly decreased owing to the indiscriminate slaughter of | females and young), that the Company give out | the shallow excuse that this notable decrease is due to the sharks. It is estimated that out of every hundred of these skins, seventy-five are rejected by the Company and destroyed. These rejected furs—but for the monopoly heretofore stated vested by Congress, through the Lease to this Company—would be eagerly bought by outside traders. Such persons, how- ever, are not allowed to visit these shores fcr this trade. This speculative and infamous Lease extends over a period of twenty years from its date, and is now in its second or third year, we believe. Its effect has been to convert the Alaska Acquisition into a huge Ring Job, such as was contemplated in the case of Santo Domingo. And facts are not wanting to dem nstrate that Grant’s Household Ring have a finger in this scheme. For, when the Com- | | e | pany was organized (as is stated on the | authority of the Alaska Herald, a journal | printed in San Francisco’, it presented the President with some thirty thousand dollars of its stock, and so secured the acceptance o its bid for the Lease of the Islands of St. Paul and St. George. The firm of Taylor & Bendel, of San Francisco, made a higher bid of money than did this Company, and the | fact that their proposal was rejected gives more than color to the suspicion that this monopoly | |is due to the Gilt-bearing Washington Job | | 7 = | | King. It need hardly be added to what has | been now said, that this immense Concern pays heavy dividends, and that thirty thousand | dollars of its stock is no mean investment. But the saddest part of this Aleutian history is the condition to which the wretched natives are reduced by their necessary vassalige to this Company. Remote as they are from all | | the world, is lated like Siberia, cut off from Russian protection, and from all succor, ex- cept the nominal protection of our flag, one | | sees at a glance how easily they are mace the | victims of a gigantic Corporation, who have for | the long space of twenty years the monopoly of the only trade or commerce on which they | can subsist! It appears that they have not the | privilege of the ballot, nor mail facilities, which they have the right to demand from Con- gress. They are reduced to chattels—nothing | more—under this great Monopoly. The natives occupying the Aleutian Islands | —the Lease of which to the Company carries | with it these unfortunates—are not, as many suppose them to be, the wild and barbarous | Indians of Alaska ; but they are educated and | civilized. The pro.essions and mechanic arts | are among them. ‘They have churches and schoolhouses. But how can their voice be heard against the power of this Corporation ? It is very easy to sce how the soulless power of the Monopoly, in league with the Cor- ruption of the National Government, can stifle such a feeble and rem«te voice by bribery. There is no help for these White Slaves, unless such as shal! come from a free Christian Press ; or a forfeiture of the Le.se, or its amendment, | by the insertion of such cenditions as are demanded by Public Morals and Nataral Law. |} apprehension as to the responsibility of the | als of policemen by the Commissioners, on ‘he present Lease, founded against Public Morals and against the Natural Rights of Man, M4 } ‘ 26 +7 ] is | lonac y nso} ifestly ille- it cannot hoid its<lf up for an ins.ant

in any h t Court. These people have tried hard enough to b heard through some authoritative channel. Many citizens of Alaska and merchants of San Franciso, about a year ago, sent a memo- rial to the California Legislature, asking that these wrongs should go thence, in the form of a recommendation, to Washington for redress. But the San Francisc® portion of the Ring suppressed that voice, as well as the voice of the great portion of the San Francisco Press. Again, as far back as 1870 these people, our citizens, petitioned Congress, stating all their case, as herein set forth, in which they presented, capably, their education, | situation, wants and oppressions. In this | document they represented that the ‘‘ Lease” | virtually sentenced them to twenty years’ imprisonment! ‘They protested: ‘ We are the slaves of the e lessees, and at their mercy !” They explain that the fur-traffic is They tell how their schools and churches are decaying, and how all their subsistence. they are pi keted, by the mach ne ry of this Lease, from commercial intercourse with the outside world. This touching Petition was suppressed! It finds its way now to the world through a Cali- fornia source, and for the first time. Alaska has cost our nation about one-half the sum which we paid for the vast Louisiana region. The figures at which we boucht it | amazed the diplomatic world. It was simply | a burden to Russia. The secret history of this purchase, in a diplomatic sense, was a sheer compliment to Russia. Our gold helps to | place her, by an almost air-line railroad con- nection, on her route to India, to complete her conquests in Eastern Asia. It was a dear | acquisition at one-fifth the price which we prid. And what has been the result of this | seven millions which we paid for this territory ? We see already the result. On the Credit side | there is only revenue required (!) to be paid to | the Government for each skin taken, while our vessels are excluded from the bartering trade, | and crippled and restricted in the codfish and | salmon fisheries. On the other hand, we see the enslavement of a white population, the erection of a gigantic Monopoly, which, if not arrested, in the twenty years of their lease, w'll exterminate by that time, nearly if not wholly, by their avarice, the fur-bearing animals ; and with the same blow crush out the strogeling | progress of civilized white men! At the rate which this Alaska Grant Ring is going on. the piteous condition of Alaska, in twenty years, wil! be that of a howling desola'‘ion. If the American heart is not palsied or dead, all parties will promptly unite to redress this national crime of Plunder and Oppression now perpetrated by Grant’s minions in Alaska. CLUB LAW. fYP\HE exact nature and extent of the joint jurisdiction of C:vil Courts ‘and Commis- sioners of Police over police ofliicers seems to be imperfectiy understood by the | public, and as the conduct of the police most | close'y concerns the dearest rights and privi- | leges of private citizens, it is right that all mis- guardians of the peace should be removed. Police officers are hired by the Commissioners. It is the duty of the latter to engage none but sober, discreet, faithful and trustworthy men, and to see that they are properly instructed in their duties before putting deadly weapons | into their hands. The only punishments that | the Commissioners can inflict for violation of | rules or improper conduct are deprivation of | pay or expulsion from the ranks. Here their | jurisdiction ends. They cannot send an offender to jail, nor, a8 a punishment after conviction, deprive a man of his liberty fora single hour. : It follows from this that a trial of an officer before the Commissioners, on the complaint of a citizen, is a trial before a prejudiced tribunal. To impeach the sobriety, the cour- tesy, the forbearance, or the courage of the men employed, is to impeach their own dis- cernment. To tell them that the men they have selected—after what the public suppose has been a careful examination—are incapable, is an offense which, in itself, at once creates a | natural hostility against a complainant. It is from this cause that the (misnamed) tri-

complaints of citizens, is generally a farce, and it can only be because citizens be lieve that the Commissioners have some of | the powers of a court of justice that cas:s of illegal assault are brought before them at all. | We hold it as a point of law, the correctness of which cannot be disputed, that when a policeman, in making an arrest, uses unneces- sary violence—for example, when he strikes with his club an unresisting citizen—he is as much guilty of an assault as if he were a | private individual, and a Court of General | Sessions will, upon such unjustitiable assault [Ocroper 12, 1872. —= a —a_—aS718,,

being proved, punish by imprisonment any l fficer found guilty of thus exceeding

ius the Commissioners of Poliee may acquit an officer on a charge for which the Courts will sentence him to imprisonment, and, on the other hand, a jury may re- fuse to convict the man whon. the Com- missioners have found guilty, but cannot adequately punish. ‘the Courts cannot dis- miss an officer from the force, and we are not sure whether the Commissioners cannot, if they choose, retain such an officer in their service in spite of his legal conviction and punishment ; on tle other hand, the Commis- sioners cannot send a man to jail, no matter what his demerits. The beauties of these double and often con- flicting jurisdictions have, during the past | week, received two eminent illustrations. In the first, an officer named Patrick Ginley arrested William Dunn for a felonious assault | on him while in discharge of his duty, and for this offense Dunn was tried before the Court of General Sessions. On the trial, however, it was proved that it was Ginley who ought to have been tried, as it was he who had most outrageously assaulted Dunn, and then had the cool impudence to complain of him. Dunn was, of course, acquitted, and the remarks of Judge Bedford plainly show that if the positions of these men had been reversed, Ginley would have been severely punished. The conduct of Officer Ginley has been recom- mended to the Commissioners for investigation, |}and the public awaits the result with some curiosity. The other case is that of Mr. Morgan, one of our artists, to which we referred last week. On the trial of Officer Leeworth before the Com- mis:ioners all the facts we stated were fully proved, yet, in spite of such evidence, Commis- sioners Bosworth and Manierre voted to sus- tain the officer, while Commissioner Barr and Mayor Hall voted for his dismissal — the decision being thus practically left to the absent Commissioner Smith. The sum of all is, that we strongly advise | any one who has clear and undoubted evidence of violent assaults by a police officer to leave the Commissioners and their mock trials alone, and to take the case at once before the Courts. There, at least, no insult will be offered to witnesses, and a few convictions will teach the Mulberry Street authorities that they are the servants of the public, not their irresponsible oppressors. Let no one accuse us of wishing to subvert or weaken the author- ity of the police. We seek rather to sustain a le the value of which is lessened in the exact portion in which it is arbitrarily and unju.ily usel. Judex damnatur cum nocens isolvi'ur is a motto we would commend to the Commissioners, and it would be well for them to lay its meaning to heart. THE. “ALABAMA” FIZZLE. {UCII as it is, the award is made in gross. Now for a Court of Claims, made up o Federal officials, like the set who presid : over ‘** Loyal Southern Claims,’’ and who no _ | are on the stump, tel'ing the Southern peop! - that ‘‘ votes for Grant will be received as prov. of Southern loyalty !” We are thus threatened with another French Spoliation Commission, that antediluvian case where we retained from Napoleon, in 1803, out of the Louisiana Purchase, about four millions of dollars, to reimburse citizens of the United States for losses sustained by French privateers. Down to this hour, nearly seventy years, we do not know of a single claimynt who has fingered one dollar of that money. In the case of the Alabama award, we doubt if one cent will be paid a claimant, for the expenses and off-sets will be made to show a balance against us, But we have established a principle of inter- national law, and prevented a fight! In the name of Sancho Panza, let us not, by any means, ‘look this gift-horse in the mouth !”

LETTERS FROM JUNIUS. NO. XXVII. GRANT AS THE DEMORALIZER OF THE NA‘LION. Y last letter was a summary of the points which demonstrate how the Gift - bearing poison has demoralized Grant personally; and I promised that this number of *‘ Junius” should make reference to salient facts, wherein it is seen bow this same infection, proceeding from its head, has rotted, almost to the stage of Mortification, the other mem bers of the Civil Service. In the beautiful Place de la Concorde, Louis XV. graciously permitted his “ Civil Service” to erect a bronze equestrian statue to his honor. The me.al figure of Louis, on a stunning steed, crowned the bronze. The melancholy joke of the affait was that the pedestal of the statue was adorned with four figures, emblematicai of Strength, Wisdom, Justice aud Peace. Some patriotic Liberal Reformer, and wit as well, perpetrated the following pasquinade, which, one bright morning, appeared on its pedestal, and put all Paris to laughin», also to thinking: “ Grotesque monument, inféme piédestal ! Les Vertus sont 4 pied, le Vice est & cheval.” In Grant’s civic career we bel.old the picture of the French Satirist. Strengih, Wisdom, Justice and

He was not even a resident of that State, and such fact was cer- tifled to by the clerk of the court of the county where he then professed to reside. While in Mississippi, Board and Washing Bills, which this fellow had left unpaid, were certified to and published, due to vari ous poor peop'e, in petty sums, making an aggregate of about eight hundred dollars. He next turned Blackmailer, on the false representation that he was a secret Inspector of Internal Revenue, who was sent out to Mississippi to detect frauds. In this dis- guise he blackmailed several large firms, for * hush m ney,” up to an aggregate of about ten thousand dollars, Th* names of his victims are published at length in the Mississippi Pilot. A full official report of th swind.es was sent to Washington at the time, and suppressed because Dent is Grant’s brother- in-law! They got before the word fina’ly on the am. davit of Penniman, as before stated. And such 1s one of Grant’s military, illegal, brother-in-law Secre- tarics, The Cincinnati Gazette, which isa leading a4- vocate of Grant’s re-election, was forced to say of this Dent, Whom Grant still hangs on to: ‘*He is one of the brothers-in law President Grant is cursed with. He is a pretty fellow to talk of honor, His provession is a dishonor. He an attorney, claim agent, broker, procurer, upon the strength of the influence he is thought to have by his relationship to the President. Had he a particle of honor or manhood, he would take himself away from the capi- tal, or tO some other ostensible business. He is a base procurer and swindler.” is The Soscol Ranch Military Reservation Case is one of flavrant atrocity. This reservation was set apart by our Government because it formed a military position, commanding the Mare Island Navy Yard. A ring of speculators had long desired to get poss 8- sion of it, but were foi'ed by Secretary Stanton, As soon as Grant became Secretary of War ad interiin, he issued an order surrendering it to these same speculators, receiving only about three thousand dol- lars for the whole tract, although its market value is estimated to reach the great sum of from eight totcn millions! What interest had Grant in these specu- lators ? The case of Paymaster-General Brice is one of the grossest malfeasance. It was proved, in a Congres- sional Investigation, that Brice had paid, on papers that he knew to be forged, a large amount of false claiins pretendedly due for bounties to Black citizens of Louisiana. The Congressional Committee lishea facts of the most fatal character against Brice, in which investigation they had the constant aid and estal-

sympathy of Secretary Stanton. But when Grant became secretary of War he instantly ‘ismissed from the War Department the clorks whom Mr. Stanton had detailed to work with the Committee ; and then procured the passage of an Act in the House arresting the investigation, and preventing the publication of the testimony taken and the report which the Com- mittee had prepared. As the Radical cancidate for the Presilency, his sway was supre over his Con- greesional dependents, t h Mr. Scofield, of Penn- sylvania, and others, pr 1 in vain. President Jolinson, however, retired Brice because of these forgeries. But the first act that Grant did, even be- Sor: he appoin his Cabinet, wes to restore Brice to the Pay Department! Here Grant's conduct was animated wholly by hatred of Johnson and the de- praved obstinacy which distinguishes his coarse character. Brice was a “chum,” a sort of Leet or “Tom”? Murphy friend. Johnson had turned him out. Grant wou'ld not be bafll d either by Congress, by forceries, or by the act of his predecessor, and so he restored him to the rank he had disgraced, The Oakes Ames Corruption is af ct, whose denial & LIE so fiagrant that all who read the case must lenial Lig as for the bribe. Look at these points: First, Am, which he made in the following letter, is more than verified : “Bay VIEW, NEAR MANESVILLE, Mass., August 25th, 1867, “My Dear Str—IT have read your letter to Mr, Smith upon the propose! nomination of Grant with much interest, Its criticisms on Grant's career are just; but what will von do? You cannot get it, or anvthing else concerning Grant that is not landatory, published; and why? Becanse both sides are court- ing him for the Presidency, and so the truth must not be told, Grint’s election will be a misfortune, be- cause it will put a man in without head or heart, in- different to human suffering, and impotent to govern. “Tam, yours truly, BENJ. F. BUTLER. “W, JONES, Neenah, Wis.” T conclude this summary for to-day by a very pleas- ing contrast to the record of Corruption, which I have most reluctantly been considering. Mr. George Wil- liam Curtis is the editor of Harpers’ Weekly. It is under his superintendence that all the political work of pen and pencil is done in that dignified and parson- like journal, whose PecksniMan support of Grant, were it not so mournful, would be flagrantly ludicrous— the paper which ridicules the Irish chiefly on religious grounds. And Mr. Curtis is also Chairman of the Civil Service Reform Committee !—that hypocritical sham which the Grantites got up to delude the people about Civil Service Reform. On the 15th of Septem- ber, 1860, Mr. George William Curtis thus truthfully spoke of Horace Greeley : “Mr. Greeley’s opinions upon all public questions are very decijed and well known; but they are often grossly misrepresented. He never shrinks from ex- pressing them plainly ; and no man in the conntry is more cordially or sincerely loved, although, in justice, t his enemies are mainly anong those who do not persona’!y know him. As an editor, he talks daily upon the most intersstin+ subjects with hundreds of thonsands of persons whom he never saw. Yet with many of them, especially in the rural districts of the West anJ1 the State of New York, a word from Greeley is truth and liw. At pubic meet ings, unon all occasions, his presence and nane are greeted with a laughing, good humored ap>lause, in which, however, sincerity of the feeling for the man is c'early evident. Indeed. there is probably no

t is a finer co:npos tion than most of the same sort, if not all, by our modern leading piantsts. Grander, undoubtedly, in its thought, and more various in ita feeling, as his initial performance it afforded him an immediate opportunity of settling his position in the estimation of his audience. One of the leading dally critics alludes to the A wle of the first movement as Titanesque, The word is a very large one, but this it undoubted'ys was, although more from the powerful style in which it was instrumentally handled by him than the character of its composition. We have heard it attempted before, but although then well played, {t did not impress us with its largeness so thoroughly as when he translated it to our ears. Neither do we think that, when reading it, any mu- sician, however thoroughly educated, would realize the rough and massive grandeur of its firat and third movements. The second was to the full as remark- able as the first, from the contrast in tts feeling and in Rubinstein’s playing of it, which it presented. The piano literally sung under his hands. The third movement, to which we have already alluded. even more strikingly realized the superb majesty of his power over the instrument than the first had done. We have rather dwelt upon his plaving of his own Concer/o than upon the Air and Variations by Hanel, the delicious little Rondo from Mozart, the March from Beethoven's * Ruin of Athens,” or =chumann's fine work. The reas n which has impelled us to do this, is the fact that, like Liszt, we feel him to be an isoiated specialty with the piano, We have never iieard the works of the last great artist and composer for this instrument played as he himself played them. He ‘ealized a greater wealth of feeling and power io them than any other interpreter has ever done. Such we are persuaded is the case with Rubinstein. No other hands than his own could so wonderfully trans- late his Concerto in D minor. Possibly we may feel gratified that it is so,

Next, a convenient quorum the ex In:t Legislature was to be called ether, for the immediate impeachment apd pension of the Governor, and tor the removal «. every Official or legal obstacie to the acqui- i on and complete control of the machinery «! the State Government in all .ts branches. lia programme was complete and in process iu‘flment when Governor Warmoth, all un- t ov iscious, r- ached Nes York city on the alter- hoon of Saturday, September l4th, At the bith Avenue Hotel, he was surprised at meet- ius, face to tace, no less a personage than | Licutenant-Governor Pincaback, whom he sup- pured Was among the tores's and mountains of M.ine, wnence he had transported his talents iur the use and behoof of President Grant. Yhe meeting, however, was cordial, and was supplemented by an appointment to meet again in the evening at nine. Governor Warmoth was ;romptly on hand at the time appointed, vut his sable companion was not to be found. He waited, but to no purpose. The wily negro proved treacherous to his friend and bene ac- tor, und the tolluwing morning Governor War- woth learned tat, soon after their meeting of she previous evening, Pincliback had taken the lightaing tr.in tor Pittsburgh. He had left his vayy;age at the hotel as a blind, and word with bie sable aitendant that he every moment ex- ected the presence of hisemployer. Governor Wurmoth, however, was not found napping. fhe vision of the conspiracy flitted before him, wud the expedients for thwarting it were quickly canvassed. Pinchback had twenty- four bours the start, and in five minutes alter his arrival within the lines of Louisiana | he could gain the primal step of advantage in the great conspiracy. Proceeding rapidly to the telegraph office, he opened immediate | communication with his friends along the route, and placed under surveillance the flying Pinchback, The grand sweepstakes com- | menced, Pinchback had telegraphed his wait- jug friends in Louisiana that Warmotb was in charge of his baggage at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and that he (Pinchbick) was hastening with lightning speed to consummate their wishes. The Governor reached Pit sburgh by the Pennsylvania Cential lightning train, to learn that Pinchback was twelve hours ahead of him. He next beard of the flying Pinch- back at Columbus, and finally at Louisviile, but still in the advance. At Louisville be tele- uraphed for a sp: cial train to be in readiness ut Humboldt and the track to be cleared abead. | He also telegrapied to Canton, Miss., to a} friend—* Pinchvack is ahead ; make him loose the train at Canton at all hazards.” The best locomotive of the Mississippi Central Railroad and a car were in waiting when the Governor reached Humboldt. ** What time can you make to Canton ?” said Lie Governor to the engineer, “On a pinch, forty-five miles an hour.” “Then do it,” laconical.y responded the GoverLor. I am willing to do it,” rejoined the cool engineer, ** but not until you sign tnis bond, on wiich I am required to have your signature, tiat you shall be responsible for all injury which may result, either to yourself, personally, or to the road, from this dangerous trip.” The boni was signed unhesilatingly. The | engineer sprang to his seat, and ‘he wad train in a@ moment was screaming on its way. It was just two o’clock in the morning—the night beautiful in the clear moonlight. A blaze ot fidul light glared from the smokestack ; the whistle screamed through sleeping villages, | und the feariul dash of the train caused terror | aud dismay along tue route. Meantime Pinch- vuck had reached Canton, and his irain had Lulted. ‘Are you Governor Pinchback ?” gracefully inquired the conductor, us Le upproached him, “Tam that man. sir.” “Tien it is my Culy to inform you that there is at the telegraph ofl:ce an important dispatch ior you, Which must be delivered to you in person only.” Pinchback hustled from the train and hast- ened to the office, “This «’-natch,” responded the operator, * Tam jniciicd, is strictly confidential, Ican deliver it only to Governor Pinchback, and, as I have not the pleasure of a personal acquaint- ance, you must be identified before I can hand it you.” Pinchback hastened and soon succeeded in being identified. receipted for the dispatch, and retiring to a private corner, openedit. ‘* Sold!” was his exclamation as he removed from the portentous envelope a piece of blank paper, and hastened to the door. Alas, it was fast- ened; then to the window—that, 100, was accidentally tightly closed. The dvor at last being opened, he rushed toward the train; too late—it was rapidly flying duwn the track. Pinctiback then tound quarters for the night, and early the tollowing morning rose from troublous dreains to seek the depot. Whie sitting on au empty box, and ruminating on his mysterious detention, a sound was heard up the track, He tad waited several hours, and this sound coming from the northward revived his divoping spiriis. He wcouid take tbis coming train and yet accompiish the grand conspiracy, while his rival and his baggage reposed in the shades of the Filth Avenue, The sound, distant at first, now became a roar, People rushed to the depot. What could be coming at that terrible rate down over the road? Nowitisin sight! A flag is hung out from the locomotive, and the sbrill scream of the whistle resounds. The train slackens speed, and hauls up to the depot, while the tall figure of Governor Warmovi sieps out upon tie piatiorm. The whole counterplot in a moment dashes upon the perceptions of the vanquished Pinchback. “I acknowledge the corn, Governor,” says } wistfully into her eyes. | been awtul cross all this week, and if I hadn’t FRANK LESLIE’S race, and I'll be hanged if it isn’t the biggest obe you ever did or ever will win !” * Come, Pinchback,” says the Governor, “don’t feel bad about it; take a seat in my train, and we will go on to New Orleans, Then you can telegraph to the Fifth Avenue, and have that baggage sent on to you.” Pinchback suiled grimly, stepped aboard, and in five hours and forty-five minutes they were in New Orleans. Governor Warmoth’s special train had made the di tance from Hum- boldt, 443 miles, in thirteen hours, and the State was saved from the conspiracy, which must have resulted in revolution and bloodshed. At Amite, the first station inside the Louis- jana lines, stood a group of Radical chiets, prepared to meet Pinchback and obtain his sig- nature to the various acts and papers. Gloomy and disappointed, as they saw the Governor and his crestfallen companion pass in the slackened train together, they waited urtil tne evening train came, and on it returned to New Orleans, Governor Warmoth went on to the platform, waving his handkerchief affection- ately and gracetully to them as he passed. Thus was a most dangerous and desperate revolutionary scheme thwarted by the sayacily and energy of the young Governor, and by one ot the most remarkable locomotive and steam rides ever :ecorded in history. | THE OLD CAMLET CLOAK. | ¢¢ NJ EVER mind.

Only, Phebe, it is hard to have to wait so Jong.” The good-looking young man took the hand | of the girl as he spoke, and gazed sadly and Phebe dried her tears with her apron, and tried to look brave, as she answered : ‘We are young; we can afford to wait. But”—with a quivering effort at a smile— *» what troubles me. Richard, is, that you should have to pay such a price for poor little me.” * As it you were not worth any price!” And here followed a little bit of lover’s scene, in the shadow of the lilacs, bordering the garden- | fence, broken upon by a sharp voice calling Phebe to close the gate, and not let the pigs into the cabbagye-beds.” ‘When will you go, Richard ?”” inquired the girl, burriedly, as she obeyed. **To-morrow morning, by the six o’clock coach. But, Phebe, you will be at Miss Cran- dall’s quilting, to-night ?” “If Miss Hepsey will let me go.

I shall watch for you, and if you dont come, Phebe——” Oh, I shall be sure to come, Richard. coax her to jet me go!” Phebe snatched up her pail, and ran hastily across the stable-yard tu the house, “Who were you talking with over the gar- den-fence ?”” sharply inquired the tall, thin, elderly jady, who sat knitting in an armchair by the 0; en window of the little sitting-room next the kitchen. ‘Richard Lane, ma’am,” answered the girl, lie bent over the milk which she or I'll | blushing, as s Wis Blraulning, *T thought so. When I was a girl of your age, I reckon I should have been ashamed to be seen in the early morning talking to a young man over the garden-fence 5 and Rich- ard Lane, of all others !” Phebe's color deepened. answered With some spirit: ‘“‘] never heard any ill of him, Miss Hepsey, except that he was poor.” ‘*He’s a proud, stuck-up popinjay! If he wasn’t so proud, and had ordinary common sense, he’d go to work, like other young men, instead of thinking nothing genteel enough for him below schoollteaching. Well, he’ll not make a fortune that way; and if he wants a wife,” said Miss Hepsey, with a short, sarcastic laugh, ‘“*I guess he’ill have to give up his school, and put his delicate hands to some other kind of work; and serve him right, too !” The girl made no answer. She had a warm, genercus, impulsive temper of her own, which was always aroused in behalf of those she loved; but five years of service with Miss Hep- zibuh Starke, had taugiit her tocontrol herself, Not that Pnebe was exactly a servant. Bet- sey Bowles did ail the out-door and most of the kitchen work, and Phebe bad been taken when she was a pretty, active, bright little girl of thirteen to be a sort of companion to the sickly, sharp-tempered old maid who lived in the big while house just Outside the viilage. Miss Hepsey was Lawyer Starke’s sister ; and Law- yer Starke had made money, all of which, to- getber with the big white house in which the brother and sister had lived for the last fifteen years, he left by will to Miss Hepsey. There was another and younger sister, who, when they were all very poor, had married a well-to-do city tradesman, and offended her family by being thenceforth ashamed of them. But the wheel of fortune pever stood still ; and so it happened that, as Jabez Starke rose in the world, the nusband of Mrs. Miranda Dempster had gone down—helped along, some people said, by his wife’s extravagance—unt now they were understood to -be very poor, with some eight or nine children to provide for. She looked up, and he, as he advances to meet Governor Warmoth’s cordial greetiug. “You have won another lndeed, Mra. Dempster bead more than once appealed by letter to her brother, and since h death, to her for a lit e'p in their poverty, but the ony reply she got was the letter returned to her, The Starkes had vin- dictive natures, people said, and never forgave offense. A last and desperate eifort had been made by Mrs. Dempster, who, IS sisier, ic an recently when M'ss Hepzibah was ** down with rheumaa tiz,” had come in person, accompanied by her two youngest babies, one of whom was named Hepzibah (that is, Adelia Irene Hepzi- bah—the latter name kept carefully out of sight under the diszuise of ‘//.”) to nurse and tend her sick sister. But Miss Hepzibah de- clined seeing her weeping relative. She sent down word that she had never been invited to Mirandy’s house when she was herself poor, and that now, though a little better off in worldly goods, she wasn’t a bit more worthy of Mirandy’s notice than she used to be—in fact, not half so good, thanks to Mirandy. So Mrs. Dempster, after looking through all the rooms down-stairs, and investigating the premises genera.ly, aud partaking of cold turkey, pump- kin pie, cake and preserves, departed, carrying with her the remaining half of the cake, a jar of Miss Hepzibah’s sweetmeats “for the chil- dren,” and her departed brother’s best Sunday suit, which she chanced to light upon in a closet, and which * would about fit Dempster, when they had been a little widened and siiortened.” Miss Hepsey said nothing when informed of these appropriations; only gave directions that if Mirandy came again, she ‘wasn’t to be let step over the threshold on any account.” Whetler in the dark, still hours of the night she ever had any disquiet- ing consciousness, or thought of her struggling sister, with ber flock of half-clad, balf-fed litile ones, no one ever knew, for Miss Hepzi- } bah was not one to talk of such things; but Phebe had heard her groan and mutter to her- | self sometimes, and when she would call in the darkness to know if Miss Hepzibah wanted anything, would be sharply told to shut up and go to sleep. A hard, hard womin was Miss Hepzibah. Since her sister’s visit, Miss Hepsey's chief trouble had been the fear lest Phebe should be induced to marry Richard Lane, and so leave her ; and she was very glad when iniormed by Phebe’s father, who was owner of a small farm a few miles from the village, that he had forbidden young Lane to think of his daughter till he should come to him with five hundred dollars of his own *“* to begin with.” He him- self had been a very poor man when he mar- ried, and he was unwilling that a child of his | should go through what he and his Betsey Jaue had to suffer; and as Phebe was the eldest of six, all of whom had to be provided for, it wasn’t to be expected that he could do much in the way of helping her and her husband | along. He had no objection to young Lane, | who was a good, steady lad in his way, only rather bookish, and if he came to him with money enough to begin comfortably on, why, he might have Phebe. if Phebe were willing. And Miss Hepziban. hearing this, took care to approve of his resolution, knowing that it would secure to her at least a year or two longer of the girl’s services and companion- ship, and that it would be no easy watter to find another who suited lticr so well, or who would bear so readily with what the neighbers | called her crotchety ways, as active, che rtul, good-natured Phebe Haynes, Phebe werked diligently all that morning, bent upon pleasing her mistress and gaining permission to go to Mrs. Crandall’s ‘ apple bee,” where she had promised to meet Richard. The petition had already been proffered, but as | yet Miss Hepsey had given no answer, and whether it would be tavorable or not, the girl knew, depended very much upon what mood Miss Hepsey might be in when the time for going arrived. Sv, though the girl’) heart was a sad one in view of her own and Richaru’s troubles, she yet tried to be cheertul as she went about her work, putling up the new dimity bedroom-curtains, darning Miss H~, sey’s black silk dress where it had begun to wear out, and quilting her newly-washed muslin caps. Side was engaged upon these latter in her own little bedroom, when she heard Miss Hepsey’s voice calling shrilly from the siiting-room, and she hurried to obey the summons, ** Phebe, were you asleep, or are you getting deaf, that I have to calla dozen times before you will answer? And there is Towser making noise enough to rouse the dead. Go and see who it is that is coming, Not Mirandy, again, I hope.” No, it was not Mrs. Demster, but a tall, thin, sallow-faced man, who, dressed in rusty black, and wearing a faded, old-fashioned camlet cloak, came solemnly riding up to the house from the great gate opening on the public road, So Phebe, after a brief Journey from the front windows, reported, adding: ** He looks like @ preacher, ma’am.” * A preacher !—not Mr. Styles ” “No, ma’am, he’s a stranger; leastwise, I’ve never seen him betore.” * Riding a circuit, I guess, or, mebbe, going round coliecting tor the Church or missions,” remarked Miss Hepzibah, witn no particularly gratified expression. ‘* Be quick, Phebe; sweep the hearth, and hand me my black stuff apron. Now dust the family Bible, and go and let the man ip before Towser splits all our heads with his barking.” The stranger was accordingly shown into the warm, comfortable sitting-room, and did justice to Phebe’s discernment and Miss Starke’s powers of * guessing,” by announcing himself as the Rev. Ezekiel Slider, pastor of the Mount Zion Methodist Church, of Brownsville, Buck- land County, canvassing the State in behalf of apn Orphan Asylum and Home for the Helpless Aged, which his Church proposed to erect in Brownsville. And though Miss Hepsey had never heard of Mr. Slider, neither of Browns- ville, she received him with the respect due to the eloth, and inferring from his sudiciently [Ocroser 12, 1872) palpable hints that refreshments would be acceptable, directed Phebe to produce the best that the kitchen and pantry could afford. Meantime, the reverend guest, with his long limbs and bony hands outstretched to the gen‘al blaze of the fire which a chill October day rendered acceptable, entertained his hostess with solemn and pious discour.2, and with tears in his eyes told of the destitution an suffering of the innocent little children and in- firm old people who hud been left helpless by being deprived of their parents and sons iu the coal-mine explosion and fatal fever which had recently visited Brownsville, of which his | worthy hostess had doubtless read an account in the papers. And Miss Hepsey, Hs'ening with interest, felt even her hard heart touched at the relation of such heart-rending scene- suffering. While the Reverend Ezekiel Slider, with a voracious appetite, regaled upon the good things spread before him, the old maid arose, took down a small Key which hung over the mantelpiece, and opening the upper drawer of an old-fashioned wr.t ng-lesk which stood in a corner of the room, took therefrom a tin box, and unlocking the padlock which secured it, gazed wistfully into its deptis. It was at this very moment that Phebe, suddenly entering from the kitchen, detected the Rev. Ezekiel with his long neck crane}, and his small, restless gray eyes fixed eagerly upon the tin box and its contents of smooth, crisp bank-notes, evenly froned out, and laid one upon another, very much, the girl thouht, as a fox might be supposed to eye a fat goose that was almost within his reach. Under the circumstances this eagerness might be natural ; but still there was something in the man’s expression at the moment which the girl in- stinctively disliked, and this impression was increased by observing the quick, sharp glance which he immediately turned upon herself, as if resentful of her observation. Also Phebe re- marked, to her surprise, tha! during her brief absence in the kitchen, the long. lank blick hair of the guest had somehow grown lower down upon his narrow forehead, a phenomenon which considerably puzzled her until Mr. Slider, hasuly lifling his hands, restored that feature to its former height, thus revealing the fact that he wore a wig—though why so young aman should be under this necessity, puzzled Phebe to imagine. In short, the only decided opinion she was conscious of in regard to the stranger, was that she didn’t like him ; while her repulsion was increased by the solemn manner in which, receiving the sum of two dollars and fifty cenis from the hands of his hostess, he uplifted his eyes to heaven, and with a nasal twang implored a blessing upon her and her worldly substance, assuring her that the prayers of the orphan babes and the helpless aged would ascend like incense in her benalf. Alto- gether she was glad when the reverend gentle- man departed, taking with him a substantial bundle of cold provisions and ‘Ss'8 good wishes tor the success of bis benevolent enterprise ; and she rather shocked pious Betsey in the kitchen by unhesitatiugly declar- ing that she believed the Rev. Ezekiel slider to be a * humbug.” Miss Hepzivah, in her softened mood, offered no great objection to Phebe’s going to Mrs. Cranuall’s * apple-bee,” only grumbling a little, and wondering why it was that girls were al- ways so pleased to get away from home at every chance. So Phebe, dressed in her . est clue merino, and with her brown hair neatly tied back with a rose-colored ribbon under her hood, set off across the two or three lields that separated the Starke place from the Crandall tarm, and arrived in time to join the bevy ot of his hoste | happy. laughing girls, and prim, industrious | old maids, in their work of paring and stringing apples, to be dried or made inio ** apple-sass ” for Winter use, Mrs. Crandall was a thrifty, * driving ” sort of woman, and determined that her tweive barrels of iruit siiould be got through with, now that she bad 1oiks to help. She kept ter com- pany at work till a Jate hour. Tuen came the young men; and there was a big supper, after which followed games, and romps, and dancing to a fiddle and violin, so that it was eleven o’clock when the, gay company at last broke up. Richard Lane of course walked home with Phebe. They had the company of one or two other coupies most of the way, but on coming to where the field-path branched in two direc- tions, they bade their companions good-night, and crossed a stile into the corn-field that lay behind Hepzibah’s garden. This stile was ina lonely and unirequented spot, not far from the public road 5 and they had been surprised to see a horse, saddled, standing in the screen of a thicket close by. They, however, paid no particular attention to the circumstance, being too much absorbed in their own affairs and each other to take much interest in anything else. This was to be their parting interview ; it would be long ere they again met, and the bearis of both were very sad, though each tried to cheer the other. Richard was to start next morning in search of his fortupe—that is, of the five hundred dollars that were to win him a wife and happiness; and he felt certain ‘hat in the great city of New York, tiat visionary El Dorado of sO many young men, he could find work that would bring him the desired good. So he assured Phebe, as he kissed her tor ihe jast time ; and, with the usual vows of eternal constancy and promises of innumerable letters, the lovers at length parted, As Phebe crossed the yard to the little back- kitchen entry, she heard the hall-clock strike twelve. It was much later than she had sup- posed, and what would Miss Hepsey say about it next day? So she went very softly up the steps of the stoop, and as she stood hesitating to knock for Betsey to let her in, she perceived to her surprise that the door was already ajar an inch or two. Pushing it softly open, she entered, and stood for a moment listening. She fancied that she heard some one moving in the We Aleka

it Ocroser 12, 18732.) ‘It is Betsey,” she thought, ‘‘*eome down to her yeast. Ni has le‘t the «oor open for me, so as Miss Hepsey may not be disturbed by my knocking, and find out how late IT am.” And feeliug very grateful for Betsey’s good nature, the girl stepped toward the back stair- case that led to her little room up-stair-. But in so doing, her feet became entaneled in some- thing lying on the floor, and she stooped to pick itup. It was some kind of a heavy gar- ment—what, she cou'd not ascertain in the darkness—but she hung It on the first peg under the staircase, and then went up softly to her room, struck a litht, and was soon prepar- ing for bed. More than once, while thus en- gaged, she fancied she heard a low moan from Miss Hepsey’s room, the door of which was just opposite her own in the narrow passageway upon which both opened. *-T wouldn’t have her conscience.” thought Phebe, as she laid her head upon her pillow— “no, not for all her money. Poor Miss Hepsey !” The sun was rising in a bright, clear October sky, as Phebe Haynes, awaking from her night’s rest, went down-stairs to prepare the sitting-room for Miss Hepzibal’s reception. Miss Hepzibah never had a fire in her bed- room, considering it unwholesome, and there- fore always dressed in the sitting-room. Phebe having seen the fire brightly burning, her mistrese’s low dressing-clhiair placed beside it, and the whole room made as neat and or- derly as could be. went out to the poultry- house to get fresh eggs for breakfast, and to enjoy the clear, bracing morning air. see about doubt she FRANK LESLIE’S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER. nothing was found save taken from Miss Hep person, when arrested, the six hundred dollars zibah. secretly and cieverly stowed away in the lining of his pocket, Of course, Mrs. Dempster, on receiving the sad tidines of her sister’s death, immediately made her appearance, accompanied by Mr. Dempster, a fat, fussy, good-natured little man, and all their seven childr n. She had to be supported fiom the carriage into the houe. Immediately on reiching the sitting-room she fainted on the sofa, and subsequently, seeing Miss Hepzibah’s photograph over the mantel- piece, went into hysterics. But on the follow- ing day she was sufficiently recovered to take an inventory of everything, to ascertain how much poor dear Hepsey had in the bank, and |} to order three fashionable suits of mourning She | stopped at the garden-gate, where last night | she had parted from her lover, and the tears came into her eyes, as she looked wist- fully toward the road over which only an hour previous he must have passed, on lis way to the great city, where he hoped to accomplish so much. ‘And all for me.” thought the girl, with a sorrowful tenderness. ‘* Dear Richard ! Oh, if we had only five hundred dollars !” Then she thought: ‘I know that there is more than five hundred dollars in the tin box in Miss Hepsey’s desk. Why couldn’t she lend it to us, instead of keeping it locked up there, where it’s of no use to anybody? Richard could repay her before she would want it.” Phebe. with the thought, glanced up to Miss Hepzibah’s windows, and was surprised to see that they were not yet opened. It was past her usual time of rising, and it was seldom she | slept so late, unless she were sick. Returning to the kitchen with her half-dozen eggs, the girl looked into the sitting-room. ** Why, Miss Hepsey hasn’t come down yet !” she said, to Betsey. ‘*No? and the rolls and coffee all but ready to set on the table! They'll be spiled outright, Phebe, if you don’t run up and hurry her. So Phebe ran up-stairs and Knocked at her mistress’s door. ** Miss Ilepsey !” she cried. But there was no answer. Then she opened the door, The room was quite dark. except a lamp, which was still feebly glimmering in the midst of a basin of water on the hearth. Phebe groped her way to a window, threw it wide open, so as to let in a flood of clear sunlight, turned round to Miss Hepzibah’s bed, and then, with an awful shriek, fled headlong down the stairs. An hour after, and it seemed as though the whole population, not only of the neighbor- hood, but of the adjoining village, were col- lected on the Starke place. The house, the yard, the garden, the very road, was full of an eager and excited crowd, to whom it was known that poor Miss Hepz’bah Starke had, during the night, been most fouily and bar- barously murdered, with not a trace of or clue to the discovery of the marderer. Not a trace, until Phebe Haynes, nearly besi e herself with horror and grief, caught sight, in passing through the back entry, of an old patched and faded camlet cioak, hanging where she remem- bered to have put it when going up to bed, on the first peg of the rack under the staircase ! And then it was discovered that the door of the kitchen-entry, and also of the secretary in the sitting-room, had been most neatly and dextrously opened, and that the tin box was missing from the latter, as well as Lawyer Starke’s goid watch from over the mantelpiece in Miss Hepzibah’s bedroom, where it always hung. Had the robber been satisfied with the booty down-stairs, without exploring fur- ther, poor Miss Hepzibah’s life might have been spared. And had Miss Hepzibah herself been more generous with the money which she loved to hoard, she might not now be lying, a horrible sight to look upon, with that awful gash across her thrvat, and her hands literally cut to pieces with the knife which she had grasped at in the death-siruggle. Phebe thought, with a sick thrill of horror, that at the very moment in which she had picked up the cloak. which had probably been left in the entry as an incumbrance, the murderer had just descended the stairs from his bloody work, leaving his victim not yet quite dead, as she knew from the feeble. gurgling moans she had heard. Poor Miss Hepzivah ! For the next few days the whole country was scoured in search of the Rev. Ezekiel Slider. No such personage could be found; but at length a peddler, with a red wig and beard, was arrested. imme liately on being confronted with whom, both Betsey and Phebe unhesitatingly declared to be the man who had worn the old camlet cloak. And a week or two afier, they were informed, to their horror, that this peddier, alias the Rev. Mr. Slider. of the apocryphal Brownsville ‘Orphan Asylum and Home tor the Hel less Aged,” had been identi- fied as a notorious burglar of New York, kuown among his : ssociates and to the police as Slip- per Jem, Long Jem and Jem the Trickster. His late disguises had been assumed in conse- quence of a very daring burglary in the office of a wealthy merchant, from which a large sum of money had been stolen ; ** Miss Hepsey !’? | | some for herself and her two eldest girls. And then, finding everything so comfortable, she con- cluded to remain in the place until the auction- sale of the house, lot and furniture, which was to take place in the Spring, keeping with her Betsey and Phebe—the latter to sew and help take care of the lawless children, who romped from garret to cel'ar and upset things gener- ally, in a way which, as Betsey declared, ‘* was enough to raise the ghost of poor Miss Hensey out of the grave.” But of the ghost Mrs, Dempster had no fear. She had been more sinned against than sinning, so far as poor Hepzibah was concerned, seeing that if she hadn’t invited Hepsey to the house, it was only to spare the feelings of Mr. Dempster’s family in seeing her own relations so shabby and so outrageously dressed as Hepsey and Jeremiah had always persisted in appearing. Then, Hepsey had treated her very badly, she must say, been very ungrateful for her naming | as he notices the bright and flourishing ** book, the baby after her, and for her kind offer of | nursing her in her sickness. So that if her sister's spirit did choose to come back from the grave, it would be more likely to beg her par- don than to show ill-feeling. And if Hepsey hadn’t wished her to have the property at last, she would certainly have made a will, leaving it to somebody else. So Mrs. Dempster’s conscience was quiet, and she enjoyed her change of fortune, despite the awful tragedy by which it had been purchased. Some weeks passed, and the time for the great auction-sale was now approaching. By Mrs. Dempster’s directions, Phebe went over the house, exploring all the dark closets and odd nooks and corners, collecting and arrang- ing everything in preparation for the day of the sale. She very listless!y and mechanically pursued her work. Her heart was heavy, for she had that day received a letter from Richard, informing her that, despite all his efforts. he had been unable to obtain any kind of employ-: ment offering what he consiljered suitable re- muneration ora chance of snecess in the plan he had at heart, except throuch years of patient labor and tedious waiting. And he had hinted of the expediency of seeking in California, or other of the far-off Western a more speedy realization of his cherished dream. Poor Phebe, her eves blinded with tears, could searcely see in the dim attic, whither she had betaken herself. It was a place seldom visited, and where she had not before been since Miss Hepzibah’s deaih. There were all | sorts of useless and unseasonable ihings stowed theugh upon his | taink proper. away—brokea china, bottomless chairs, fire- regions, | place screens, and old clothes, hanging forlorn | and ghost-like upon nails driven in the naked beams. Phebe walked s'‘owly down this row of cast-off garments, when suddenly, to her surprise, her ey* fell upon the old camel's cloak of the Rev. Ezekiel Slider, hanging close beside a dust-cover d suit of the late Lawyer Starke. the house after the confusion caused by the murder. had carried it up to the garret with some of Miss Hep-ey’s old clothes, and there it had since hung, undisturbed and forgotten. Phebe started almost as thouzh she had seen the Rev. Ezekiel himself. She looked for an instant with horror and loathing at the garment of the murderer of Miss Hepsey. “Tt ought not to be allowed here,” she thought ; ** and right in the midst of poor Miss Hepsey’s things! I'll take it right down tothe stable-yard and burn it, straight !” So, overcoming her repugoance to tonch the garment, she reached up to detach it from the nail on which it hung. But it was above her reach, and, after one or two vain efforts, she pave an impatient pull, which brought the cloak down, with the green flannel lining torn half-way down the skirt. And Phebe, glanc- ing at the long strip of torn green flannel, perceived that it was ‘tself lined with some- thing—dirty, greenish rags, she at first thought, though another look showed her that it was | | pressed into service, and everything inammable was, paper. Her eyes were caught by the figures 20 on a protruding corner; she looked more closely, drew carefully out the green silk thread by which it was lightly but securely busted in- side the flannel, and to her astonishment per- ceive that it was a twenty-dollar bank-note ! One by one she detac.ed the others, coun'ing the amount as she did so. until a' length there lay before her more than one thousand dollars in good United States “ eenbacks ! For a moment the girl stood still, bewildered and terrified. Here was. donbtless, some of the ill-zotren booty of the New York burglar, and she instinctively, with a feeling of lo \th- ing and disgust, shrank away from contact with the contaminating paper. she do with it? To whom dil it lawfully be- long ! to it, in advance of other claimants? And then, with an irrepressible thrill of joy, she thought, ‘‘Here is more than twice five hun- dred dollars !” Phebe rolled up the notes carefully. She would not tell Mrs. Dempster ; she would not As it turned ont, Betsey, in clearing | | have hung for centuries. What should | Was she herself, as the finder, entitled | gay anything about it to even her father, but | would send the notes to Richard right away, an excuse for going into the village ; there, she deposited in the post-o‘fice the precious pack- age, carefully directed to Richard’s address, and by a letter explained how the money had come into her possession, concluding with: * Do with it just as you think right, dear Rich- ard; you know better ‘han I.” In course of a week came an answer from Richard. He had shown the notes and Phebe's letter to a gentleman, who had advis 8 applving to the Police Department. he result was, that the notes had been identified as part of those appropriated in the well- remembered burglary which had sent Long Jem on his travels in behalf of the Brownsville Orphan Asylum and Home for the Helpless | Aged, and had subsequently committed himself and two confederates to Sing-Sing for a term of years, The wealthy merchant, the victim of the burglary, had seen Richard, learned from him the whole circumstances—in so doing becoming acquainted with his own story—and had generously presented to Phebe and himself five hundred dollars of the recovered sum, which, but for Phebe, he remarked, would have been lost to him for ever. This was a great deal be'ter, both Phebe and Richard agreed, than if they had kept the whole amount, making no effort to discover its right- ful owner, and with all the time an uneasy con- sciousness that it was not rightfully their own. Richard came back shortly, and no opposition now offering, he snd Phebe were married in the Spring, instead of having to wait all those tedious years that they bad both feared.

The rendezvous of the three great rulers of Con tinental Europe at Berlin has been a matter of Much speculation among al! who feel an in- terest in that section of the world. Even the shrewd- est guessers have been as yet unable to divine the precise object of the meeting, or whether it has any special political object. The portraits presented in our illustration will be readily recognized. The Emperors are seated, while their trusted Ministers | are standing in close proximity. On the left is the | Emperor William; above him stands the master- spirit of his empire, Prince Bismarck. The figure seated in the centre is the Emperor Francis Joseph, attended by his Minister, Count Andrassy; whil on the right is the Emperor Alexaniler, and his weil- known counselor, Priuce Gortschakoff. The Bodies of the Gutierrez Brothers Sus- pended from the Lima Cathedral. | We published a few weeks since a full account, with illustrations, of the recent revolution in Pern. Althou.rh of short duration, it was of a very blooly character. The President of the Republic, Balta, was first imprisoned by Tomas Gutierrez, who assumed the reins of government, and proclaimed himself Dictator. Balta was subsequently assassinate! in prison by a brother of the D-ctator. A fearful retri- bution awaited the conspirators. The tide of public feeling was directed against the usurpers, and the three Gutierrez brothers met their death in different places at the hands of an indignant people. Their | bodies were ignominiously dragzed to the cathedral at Lima, where they were suspen led irom the tower, and afterward burned in the plaza, The King of Cambolia at Saigon. Norodon I., King of Cambodia, and ally of the French Government, recently paid a visit in great state to the Governor of the French provinces of Cochin China, at Saigo», General d’Arbaid. The vessels in the harbor were highly decorated with flags, bunting and streamers. His majesty was received with a salvo of artillery, and reviewed the soldiers and sailors. The relations b>tween the French Government and his Cambodian Majesty are of the most friendly character, The King subscribed 69,000 francs of the French loan, and $10,900,000 worth alto- gether were subscribed in Cochin-China. Fire at Canterbury Cathedral. On September 3d, a fire was found to be burning in the main roof at the east end of the cathedral, near Becket’s Crown. The plumber and his mate strove to put it out with buckets of water, but the ames soon got beyond such feeble means of extinction. Crowds | of people flocked to see the sight, and for a while the glorious old cathedral seemed doomed to destruction. Meanwhile the burning timbers, together with the vane that stood at the east end, had fal'en in upon the groined floor below, and sparks and molten leid were dropping through fast and th ck into the Trinity Chapel, and on the site of Becket's shrine at the rear of the altar. An army of volunteers was quickly as far as practicable, removed from the choir, even the Heavy Communion Table being taken away, the altar-rails torn up, and the armor and shield of the lack Prince removed from the tomb over which they At one o’clock, just as the firemen were about to cut a vast gap in the roof, and so arrest the flames, it became evident that the water was getting the better of the conflict, and at two o'clock a ringing cheer from the men on th® roof pro- claimed the extinction of the fire. The damage done is estimated at fron £3,000 to £5,090, which amount is covered by insurance, The usual afternoon service, which has not been interrupted for 400 years, was given at four o'clock, th church being crowded with the citizens of Canterbury and other visitors, By far the larger part of the present cathedral is the work of the Norman era, having been erected soon after the Conquest by Archbishop Lanfranc, The building was continued by his successor, Anselm, and finished by Prior Conrad, who decorated the chancel with great splendor. The church was solemnly dedicated a.p. 1130. Here Becket was murdered in 1170, and in ‘the giorious choir of Conrad” his body was watched by | the monks during the succeeding night.

Loud cries of wonder issued from the crowd as they beheld the waterspouts on the lake, These pheno nena were made the more striking by the posi tion from which they were viewed—the surface of the lake being over 1,200 feet above the level of the sea. Within one hour no less than seven spouts were developed, five of which formed comp'ete masses of water; the remaining two, not being of sufficient force, relapsed undeveloped. As the spouts returned to the lake with tremendous force, a large hollow was made in the surface of the water, which was not filled until a few minutes after, when the seething, hissing and foam nz of the waves presented a picture to the sight and hearing that was marvelous, even at the distance from which it was observed.

Slight will her spoil prove, heaven knows! When lives are shipwrecked as mine has been, | They clutch at the poor plank fortune throws, And buffet a while with the waves of sin. How is it they struggle more and more? It was hard enough to get me a coat, But an easy matter to lock the door And flourish a razor across my throat. Why did I stumble, year by year, Through the scurfy dross of a loathsome strife? The meanest churl, when stark on his bier, Has gotten a kind of rise in life. The dog’s dumb carcass has had its day ; The snake of Scandal forgets to hiss; And Cant comes mincing a’ong your way, With her mannerly nil de mortuis. For, say Death visits some slum of shame: We’re known by our friends, you all insist ; And surely a rather noted name Is now and then on your visiting-list. But bring me that old box; bring me a light, For time is breath, and there’s work to do Ere the close of this torrid, horrid night I haven’t a chance of gasping through. Thanks, good madame.

I might have sold them an age ago, These delicate souvenirs of her, Bat letters and faded rose-buds go For little worth with the pawnbroker. Burn, you falsehood, dainty and white ; Burn, little fower-ghost, dim and pink! I hope she may dream of me to-night, In a filthy garret, dead of drink ! HARD LUCK. C. SHACKELFORD. CHAPTER XXXIV.—WAITING. [© after day passed slowly out of the cal- endar of my life, until a fortnight had without a word from my emissary. Meanwhile I drudged as other bookkeepers drudge, from early morn till late at night. I was glad to have work, so that I might keep my thoughts on some other subject than the extraordinary developments of the late trial. The captain, always wily and skillful, had caucht me in a trap, the more dangerous because it was unexpected ; yet it certainly was not expedient for me to brood upon it day after day, with no possibility of helping myself out of the mire of despondency into which I had rushed at headlong speed. Work! work! work! I should certainly have gone crazy if my brains and hands had not been busily employed in continual work. At times I wondered what Mr. Verity thought of me after my flight; and what Touter said and did in the wiiderness of days and nighta into which I had strayed; and what had be- come of the scheming old villain of a doctor, who had used me as a paw to pull his chestnuts | out of the fire, with such calculating and heurt- | less a purpose, that I raged every time I re- calied my part in the play, and thought how Fimkin and the doctor must have laughed over my innocent connection with it. Had I de-| voted my entire time to such reflections, | should positively have worked myself into a} frenzy that might have led to murder. My present position was an insignificant one, but I felt that I would not be forced to remain in it long. I could wait for my justification. The truth, buried under the ruins of that con- | spiracy, must come to the light at last, and bring with it my freedom. Then I would go back to my old place at the store, and teil to | oniy a few good friends the part I had unwit- tingly taken in the affair, and the terror that its discovery struck to my heart. Sometimes the temptation to write to Touter grew strong within me, that I might learn from him what was transpiring of interest. Then, appreben- sive of discovery, I drew back into my reserve, as a snail recedes into its shell, and proceeded | steadily with my labors. The clatter of the | machinery, the bustle of the work-people, the | ceaseless activity everywhere throughout the mil], soon became music to me. I traversed every street in the city during pleasant evenings. wandering, lonely and un- | known, through the aristocratic quarter of the | town, seeing beautiful faces through the win- dows of magnificently furnished rooms, and the joy and brilliancy of a life as far away from | me, seemingly, as the stars. | The sound of music, of laughter, of the soft | voices of lovely women, that sometimes floated out on the night-air as I passed, made me no sadder than usual, because my existence had | been one in which they had not had a place. | Between me and the gay world of fashion and ease had always been a barrier over which [ never expected to cross. My position on the metre of society was 0. Tiere I rested. I disappeared, longed for nothing so much as a return to Lakeville, that I might again take up the bur- | den of life with Verity & Co. When the sixteenth day of Flynt’s absence came without tidings, I got an hour’s leave of absence and went down to the bank where he bad formerly been employed. No one was bank.

Didn’t look closely. But you’re miehry like him in the face. Yes, and in figure, too. Guess he was a little stouter, though, come to look. Know him ?” “No! I've a message for him from a friend of his, who told me he was in this bank,” I answered, boldly lying. ‘Yes! yes! Used to be here. Nice fellow, too. Kind asa woman.

I’m a stranger here, thouch, and haven’t seen many of your people. Sorryto have bothered you about the matter.

I saw at a glance that I had to deal with a sharp, knowing we- man—triple-plated with years against soft nonsense—instead of a girl gushing with senti- ment, and wasting the fire of her eyes on in- combustible material. The easiest way to get out of a bog is to back out. It was high time for me to disclose my ignorance of her, and also to remark that I was not Mr. Goldant. “For, says I, ‘I'm sure he must be a very at- tractive and sensible young man, judging by | his acquaintances, so far as I have seen them ? and I therennon bowed and smiled and rubbed my hands cajolingly, thinking I was going to be rid of her in the finest stvle of social dip!o- macy.

In fact, she stared at me so steadily, and pinched her mouth into such a cruel thinness of expression. that real y I became alarmed lest she should pitch into me then and there. **Do I understand, Mr. Goldant, that you decline to recornize me?” she demanded, in a hard, precise articulation. ‘+ Do not mistake me!

CHAMPION REFORMERS OF PENNSYLVANIA. HON. CHARLES R, BUCKALEW AS born in Columbia County, Pa., De- / cember 21st, 1821. He received an academic and collegiate education. Adopting the profession of law, he was ad- mitted to practice, in 1843, in all the Courts of the State. In 1845 he was appointed by the Governor Prosecuting Attorney of his native county, and held the position three years. In 1850 he was elected a Member of the State Senate. While serving as such he was appointed a Commis- sioner to exchange the ratifications of the Treaty of Paraguay. In 1856 he was cho:en by the Democrats Presidential Elector ; in 1857 he was elected Chairman of the State Demo- cratic Committee of Pennsylvania. He was also re-elected to the State Senate, and then honored with the appointment of Commis- sioner to revise the penal code of the State of Pennsylvania. In 1858 he resigned this public position to accept from President B ichanan that of Minister Resident to Ecuador. In 1861 Mr. Buckalew returned from South America, and resumed the practice of his pro- fession. In 1863 he wags elected to the United States Senate by a majority of one vote, for the term ending March 4th, 1869. Upon retiring from his Senatorial labors, Mr. Buckalew was elected to the State Senate again from the Columbia County District, which term expired last Spring. His first act in the Senate in 1870, was to introduce a bill providing that the election of State Treasurer be given to the people, the object of which was to do away with the prevailing custom of purchasing that position, Owing to the peculiar complexion of the Senate, the bill failed to pass. In 1871 the resolution was again introduced, by Mr, Billing. feldt, a most conscientious German from Lan- cister County; it was iebited, and defeated. The resolution was again introduced in 1872, and finaliy cairied, Mr. Buck vew initiated the movement in the State Legislature for a Convention to revise the Constitution of the S ate. It is wholly due to the influence and support of Senator Bucka- lew that the bili passed and the Convention was ordered. The law requires the Convention to assemble in October of this year, a few days after the | State election now pending. Mr. Buckalew is a plain, frank, outspoken ian, not forthputting uor too reserved. He is duly cautious about expressing his ideas, but he i8 sincere in his cunvictions, His integrity has never been questioned, aud he stands before the people of Pennsylvania a man of remark- able probity.

Curtin became popular as a speaker, and aquired great influence as a politician and citizen, He was a warm supporter of Governor . ptlock, who in 1855 appointed Mr. Curtin to Secretary of State and Superintendent of the ‘mmon Schools of Pennsylivania, Atthe close ‘ his term of office, in 1858, he returned to is tlefonte, and resumed the practice of law. in 1860 Mr. Curtin was nominated for Gov- ecuor by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. /ained in the same canvass on the ticket with Avraham Lincoln for President, he entered ihe field and actively canvassed the whole ‘tate amidst a most exciting contest, and was iriumphantly elected by a majority of 33,000 ever his competitor, General Foster, who united the votes of the supporters of Bell, ‘%rackinridge, and Douglas. President Lincoln, at the outbreak of the Revellion, found in Governor Curtin a ready end mst active co-operator. History will accord him credit for devoting himself with great zeal to the organization of troops, and rendering prompt and generuus aid. in 1863 Governor Curtin was triumphantly re- elected, which was again accepted as a national triumph, » suppression of the Rebelli n, by support- 2g the eff rts of President Lincoln, always realized that he had in Governor Curtin and the people of Pennsylvania a reliable and permanent support. Most deserrecly was the honoradle ti le of ** War Governor” applied to the name of Andrew G. Curtin. Retiring from his arduous duties of six roars, Governor Curtin sought rest, taking little part in the political differences existing between President Johnson and the extremists in Con- gress. He sipported General Grant in 1868 because he was the candidate of the Republican Party. President Grant, to please Cameron it was thought by many, nominated Governor Curtin to be Minister to Russia. It isa singular fact that Cameron, then in the United States Senate, did not oppose the confirmation of Mr. Curtin, whom he hated, because he preferred {ut Curtin should be in Russia rather than in Pennsylvania. The moment Governor Curtin leit the country, Cameron be ‘an his work of pil- ‘ering, putting forward as his chief agents such creatures as Hartranft. the present Grant can- didate for Governor. Hearing, while in Russia, of the demoralized condition of his native State, through his personal friend, Colonel McClure, und knowing that it was indorsed by the National Administration which he was serv- iu2, Governor Curtin decided to terminate his oticial engagement, return home, and join f:ces with the gallant men who were striving .0 rid the country of corruption. Accordingly, in April last, he sent notice of his resignation to +‘: State Department at Washington. Resist- in appeals, presents, and bribes, to induce him tw close his lips against corruption in State and Nation, he has finally reached his native town, vcllefonte, and taken bis place at the head of th column of Reform, by the side of Buckalew, ‘*: the regeneration of the Old Keystone Sate. ‘te has spoken, and his words have sunk deep ino the hearts of the loyal and good people of tat region, But they are terrible to the evil- «oers who had planned, in his absence, to seize wod demoralize the gallant old Commonwealth, fSOLONEL ALEXANDER K.

He was a1 expert horseman froin his boyhood, When he first appeared in public, mounted by t side of the Governor, he was the target of all eyes. The Sentinel was a suc- }cess. In 1852 Colonel McClure purchased the Chambersburg Repository, a news and literary | Journal, which, under the skillful management } of its new editor and publisher, soon became |} widely known and was extensively quoted. The Colonel had now become a resident of Chambersburg. He was a Whig in politics, In 1853 that party nominated him for Auditor- General of the State. The Democratic Party carried the election, and he was defeated. In 1855 Governor Pollock appointed him Superintendent of Public Printing. This posi- tlon the Colonel held about eight months, when he resigned it, and, to the astonishment of many of his friends, was admitted to the bar, and entered upon the practice of law. It turned out that, while engaged in the everyday practical affairs of life, he was also studying law in the office of Hon. William McClellan, in Chambeis- burg, whose partner he afierwar.| became. affairs. He was appointed by the Governor | State Superintendent of the Erie and Northeast Railroad. His chief duty was to suppress tie riots at Erie City, and restore peace and order to that ne’‘ghborhood. Colonel McClure accom- plished the purpose for which he was appointed. The same yeir he was a delegate in the National Republican Convention, at Phi'adel- phia. which nominated Fremont and Dayton. He was elected as a Republican to the State Le sislature in 1857 ; re-elected in 1858, and in 1859 was elected to the State Senate. In 1860, State Cent:a!

In 1861, when the war broke out. he was in the Senate, and was made Chairman of the Com- mittee on Military Affairs; in that position he acquitted himself with marked ability. In 1862, President Lincoln selected Colonel McClure to take official charge of the draft in Pennsylvania. and to that end conferred upon him the Federal power requisite, appointing him to be Assistant Adjutant-General of the United States. He completed this work with promptness and satisfaction, and, with the official record of his labors, he placed the re- signation of his Federal office in the hands of the President; then, after resigning the Chairmanship of the Republican State Com- mittee, he placed himseif at the head of the State Republican Party, as an organizer and worker, his undivided attention being given to the canvass which secured the re-election of Governor Curtin, who was at that time the effi- cient War Governor of the Old Keystone State. In 1864 Colcnel MeCinre declined a seat in the National Republican Convention, to accept the nomination and enter the contest for a seat in | the Legislature, in a district stronaly Demo- cratic. He was handsomely elected. In July of that year, when the Confederate forces made a raid into Pennsy!vania, their advance-guard was met by Colonel McClure, who was author ized by the authorities of the town to treat with them for the protection of the inhabitants. The perty belonging to the Colonel to the amount of about $75,000. This did not check his ardor in the campaign, which terminated in the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. In 1868 Colonei McClur> appeared upon th political surface again, as Chairman of the Penn- sylvania Delegation to the National Republican Convention, which nominated Geveral Grant. Colonel McClure’s appointment az Delegate to the Cincinnati Convention—the ability and activity with which he performed the duties of Chairman of the Pennsylvania Delegation, in conferences, committees and on the floor of that Convention— nis early espousal in that body of the cause of Greeley and Brown, and his subsequent support of the ticket in Penn- sylvania, are matters of too much notoriety to require a single word here. Colonel McClure’s whole course in the Liberal movement has been that of a far-sighted statesman. He is one of the leaders whom the people love to follow. The Colonel is Chairman of the State Liberal Committee of Pennsylvania. HON. GALUSHA A. GROW. ALUSHA A. Grow was born in Ashfort, in the State of Connecticut, in 1822. He received the advantages of the common and grammar schools of Connecticu!, and entered college at Amherst, Mass.. where he graduated in 1844, Applying himself to the study of law for about three years, he then entered upon its practice in the Couris of Connecticut. Mr. Grow, in 1848, moved from Connecticut into Northern Pennsylvania, settling in that part of it known as the famous “ Wilmot Dis- trict,” it having been represented in Congress by Mr. Wilmot, who became so celebrated on account of his proviso, knowao as ** The Wilmot Proviso.” Soon after reaching Pennsylvania, | Mr. Grow took an active part in politics, and was elected, in 1850, to Congress ; he was re- le ected in 1852, 1854, 1856 and 1858, being a | member of five Congresses. During the last— E Thirty-sixth Congress—Mr. Grow was elected Speaker, in which position he _ per- formed the duties to the highest satisfaction. He was one of the earliest of our public men to pioneer the Republican Party and ad- interest of national liberation. In 1856, in the warm contest which resulted in | the election of N. P. Banks as Speaker, Mr. Grow most earnestly participated. Bold and outspoken in debate, he fre- quently incurred the enmity of the Opposition, as in the case of Keitt, of South Carolina, who insulted Mr. Grow on the floor of the House, and atruck him, for words spoken in debate.

But he was equal to them all. | Mr. Grow was a delegate to the National Re- | publican Convention at Bal imore. in 1864, and was active in securing the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, to whom he was very much devoted. In 1868, Mr. Grow was a delegate at the Con- | vention which nominated General Grant, and | was elected Chairman of the Pennsylvania State Committee, personally directing the | canvass in the State for the October : nd No- vember elections of that year. But for the skillful management and unceasing labor which he contributed, to secure the State in October, General Grant would not have been ele:ted. That is conceded by all those who are ac- quaiuted with the facts. It is said in Pennsyl- vania that Mr. Grow, to this day, has never eard for a certainty whether General Grant knew that an election took place in Pennsyl- vania that year or not. In 1869, Mr. Grow re- tired trom politics and moved o Philadelphia, where he engaged in the manufacturing busi- ness. About a year ago he accepted the Presi- dency of a railroad company owning one of the great lines running from the North into and across the State of Texas, of which State he is His friends in the North were made to rejoice, not long since, at | the fact that he formally announced his appro- val of the great Liberal movement. and his purpose to support the Cincinnati and Baltimore tickets.

Mr. Hickman boited | from the Democratic Party on the Lecompton question, following Douglis’s lead, On the day of the election of Pennington as Speaker in the Thirty-seventh Congress, Hickman’s vote decided the question. He was then nomi- nated for the Thirty-eighth Congress, but de- | clined running, and resumed the practice of | law in his native county. This retirement was destined to be of short duration. A unanimous | tender of the nomination for the State Lezis- lature was forced upon him, and he was elected by a large majority. At the outset of his} Legislative service he distinguished himsel! by an act which placed the subject of his integrity above reproach. When the members of that body voted themselves an extra salary, Mr. Hickman refused to accept his, stating that he would not rob the pe¢ “e by taking payment for work he had neve pei‘ormed. He was one of the foremost advczates of Reform, always presenting the subject strongly in all its important and varied phases. He was a delegate to the Cincinnati Convention, and heartily supports the Liberal candidates.

He was appointed one of the trustees for completing the Susquehannah branch of the Pennsylvania Canal, and was the origin- ator of the passenger packet on that route. In 1836 he removed to Pittsburgh, and devoted his attention to improving the navigation of the Monongahela River. In 1838 he was appointed Adjutant-General of the Sta‘e Militia. He was one of the heartiest advocates o° the extension of the telegraph system, being President of no less than six distinct companies. His first en- trance upon the political field was in 1859, when he was elected a member of Congress from Pennsylvania. His conduct in the House was in such hearty accord with the interests of his constituents, that he was elected to the four succeeding sessions. During ten years of his service, he occupied leading positions on the committees—Commit'ees on Commerce, Na- tional Armories, Manufactures, Naval Affairs, and Ways and Means, Mr. Moorhead has been successful in every department of public and private life. Heisa remarkably charitable man, setting apart regu- larly @ very large portion of bis income as a He is cautious in dispensing his charities, exercising the utmost discrimina- tion ; yet he has never been known to turn a listless ear to a case of genuine suffering.

RANDALL, AMUEL J. RANDALL was born at Philadelphia, bh) October 10th, 1828. He received a liberal education, and in early life engaged in mercan- tile pursuits in his native city. Subsequently he entered into public tife as a member of the Cily Council of P: iladelphia, in which he served four years. He was a member of the State Senate in 1858 and 1859. His national career com'nenced as a Representative in the Thirty-eighth Congress, ‘rom the First Di-triet of Philadel- | phia. He was re-elected sucessively to repre- sent the same district in the Tuirty-ninth, | Fortietn, Forty-first and Forty second Con- gresses. In politics, Mr. Randall has always been an active and consistent Democrat; but his ability and in egrity have been so marked, as Lo command the respect even of his political opponents, while his hold upon the affections of his constituency is evinced by his being | returned to five successive Congresses — his majority at the last election exceeding four thousand votes. Almost fron the time of his entry into Congress he has been regardel asa leader in that body. Althouri in the miuority there, his opponents have shown their appre- ciation of his merits, by placing him upon the important committees of Banking and Currency, Post Offices and Post Roads, and Rules. He occupies the influential position of Chairman of | Democratic State Coin- mittee in Pennsy! inia, and has thrown the whole weight of b - great political and s>cial influence into the war now going on between the champions of Reform against the band of plunderers who at present control the State Government.

UHIO.—MR, GREELE: PAULINE LUCCA. 1/7 £ present the public, this week, with the } . . : portrait of One who has nothing tod with the political wave which is surging in advance of and around the Liberal Republican nominee for President. It is the likeness of the Baroness von Rhaden, known upon the lyric stag Mademoiselle should it not be Madame ?—Pauline Lucca, She is the latest and the greatest of the great soprani who have recently blazed on the ope- ratic heaven of Europe. Sedu of new musical worids to conquer, and the cash offered her for coming to conquer them, she has qui.ted Berlin, in which she was the reigning Queen of Opera, and made her appear- ance in this hemispvere. At the time when her porirait is -d in the present number ot our paper, she has already established her po- aition with our lovers of music, and all that has been sail of her in advance of her over the country, e as issu appearance. We, however, remit, until our following number, any review of her superb musical stature ; for she now stands by far the most bewitching and electrical vocalist, as a soprano, upon the modern musical stage. It would be useless to recapitulate a history, which has been so well used by the critics of the Daily Press, that she is no longer a stranger to us. But it may not be useless to point out to our readers tha’, although born a lady, she was no born wealthy, and that, by her own genius and the self-reliance of ber nature, she has fought her way to the very summit of her profession. Indeed, at the present moment she is acknowledzed as the greatest and most versatile lyric artist who has dazzled musical Europe during the last quarter of a century. Personally, Pauline Lucca is more than charming. Without any tendency to flattery, we may unhesitatingly say that she is the love- liest soprano we have ever seen in opera. Sontag. we know, was lady-like ; Piccolomini was piquaptly soubrettish; Grisi was grand ; Nilsson, spiritually chilly; while our old fa- vorite, La Grange, had the manners of a duchess. But what is the use of continuing the catalogue? The Lucca combines all their charms and attractions in her own person, superadding her own witchery. At the same time stately and dashing—at one moment, with a melancholy, languishing light in her gray eyes, in the next taey sparkle with the uncon- trollable demon of mirth and mischief—here a thorough lady, and there a born imp, she stands undoubtedly alone in our catalogue of operatic celebrities. Our portrait is, beyond all question, an ad- mirable likeness of her. It, however, fails to realize the sparkling vitality of her face. Some beauty may be ren- dered by the pencil, but hers it would be impossible to thoroughly translate either upon the paper or the canvas.

J., where Ex-Governor Randolph. As the train entered the Bristol (Pa.) Depot, the booming of cannon announced that a warm greeting awaited Mr. Greeley. The crowd was very dense, music filled the air, while cheer on cheer rose from enthusiastic supporters. At Coatesville. Lancaster, Harrisburg, and | Altoona, even greater excitement prevuiled. Brief and pointed addresses were made the | assemblages—a rushing into the private car—a grasp of the hand—a whistle from the loco- | motive. The journey through Pennsylvania resembled | the triumphal march of a great conqueror. | On Thursday, Mr. Greeley, accompanied by | Governor Walker, of Virginia; Governor Ran- | ! he was introduced by dolph, of New Jersey, and other distinguished Liberals, reached Pittsburgh. It is doubtful if | the Smoky City was ever in such high glee. | An immense procession awaited his arrival, and when he stepped into the barouche, the mar- shals had the utmost difficulty in preventing the enthusiastic citizens from smothering him, so intense was their desire to greet him. The drive from the depot to the St. Charles Hotel was necessarily slow. The scene at the hotel was most remarkable. The rain fell in tor- rents, yet the vast crowd of 20,000 persons preserved the utmost quiet while he delivered | one of the most noticeable speeches of the | campaign. The party left for Cincinnati at two o’clock on the following morning. At almost every station he was compelled, by the clamor of the crowd, to appear and make an address. At Morrow, a delegation from the Common Council of Cincinnati joined the party. For miles beyond the city immense crowds, on foot and in vehicles, were seen making way to the Exposition. And when the city was reached | —the christening-place of the Reform Party- | it seemed as if the population of the entire State was there concentrated. The crowd surged and shouted. Officers expostulated but in vain. Mr. Greeley was the guest of the people, and they were determined to honor him. He was scarcely allowed time to partake ot lunch, when the Mayor and deputation escorted him into the building. There his reception was of the most cordial character ; cheers rang from every portion of the immense structure, and when he attempted to respond to the de- mands for a speech, official efforts were hardly able to secure him standing-room. He made two addresses that day, and on the next visited the Chamber of Commerce, by invitation, and made a third. Later in the day, he crossed the

Early on the morning of the 23d, the party left for Indianapo- lis, where a large and seemingly impromptu procession met it. A holiday was made of the visit, and the greatest eagerness pre- vailed to see the people’s guest. Receptions were also held at Jeffersonville, Columbus, Frank- lin, and other cities.

Their favorte gymnastic however, was t» lie on their backs and roll, in the manner of a horse. The (ameness of these seals and many of the land birds was very sur- prising ; the blunt-noses were more shy than we had expected. I repeatedly put my fingers within half an inch of little yellow-birds and finches, and within six inches of mocking- birds. On James Island the birds were so numerous and so tame, that, while { was trying the experiment whether whistling to a yellow- bird would divert his attention so much as to make him allow me to touct it, six othcr birds —ineluding two mocking-birds—came up and alighted on twigs within two yards of the yel- low-bird, to see what was going on between us, As for the flies, their tameness ind pertinacity of adhesion, at the Galapagos, goes far beyond all travelers’ accounts. I Knew a good house- keeper in New England who allirmed that house-flies could not be dri.en out of a room unless you struck and killed one or two, in order to show the others that you were in | earnest. You cannot drive the Galapagos flies from you even with that expedient. The birds and seals are not frightened by being stoned or shot; they don’t know what stones and guns mean. and the flies are not frightened or discouraged by having any amount of their comrades killed. When a boat was coming off shore, the usual occupation, in order to prevent carrying the nuisances on ship, was for every- body to be picking the. flies off themselves almost as they would burrs), killing them and | throwing them into the water, from the time of leaving the beich to the arrival on the deck of the ship; and the last fly slaughtered before you go into the cabin is no more afraid of you than the first one you slew at the beach. They are not all biting flies; we have escaped trouble from musquitoes and biting flies during | the whole voyage, but they are crawling, tick- ling. adhesive. tantalizing creatures. It was | pleasant to find here at the Galapagos a species of penguin, smaller and more sober in dress than our old friends of the Straits of Magellan, but with the same winning, cunning manners that made the birds in the Straits such favorites with our party. And while speakins of the birds of these islands, I would not forget the splendid flamingoes, six feet high. of which we | got many fine specimens, They sailed abontin parties of twelve to twenty birds together, making long lines of scarlet flame fluating through the air. We tried their flesh on the table, and found it the most delicious game, fully equal to the canvas-back. clear of the exercise,
