CANAL COMMISSIONER.

We are glad TO see that the people of
this State are alive to the importance of Sc
lecting good men to fill the responsible post
OF Canal Commissioner. When conven-
ton, therefore, fails to put in nomination a
fit and proper person for this office, it is un-
reasonable to expect that they will give it
any encouragement. While we can refer
with pride to the happy selection of JOHN
A. GAMBLE, as our candidate, we know our
whig friends very sensibly feel the unfor-
tunate choice Of HENRY M. FULLER as
their nominee. The capacity Of Mr.. Gam
Bile for faithful and efficient performance
of the duties of the office, is everywhere
known, while, on the other hand, Mr.. Full
ler lacks the necessary experience, although
a respectable lawyer. The most extrava-
giant eulogists of Mr.. Fuller do not pretend
that he has the qualifications and expert
ence of Mr.. Gamble. This fact will be
remembered by the democracy at the polls
on the second Tuesday of October.
We have in our candidate those quail
ties that are absolutely necessary in Canal
Commissioner. MIR. Gamble possesses a
practical mind, an enlarged experience, a
thorough acquaintance with our public
works, and, not the least important, cha
racter above suspicion and reproach. His
opponent is young lawyer, bred in the
lap of luxury, without any practical expe-
rience, without any knowledge of our ex-
tensive public improvements, and with no.
thing to recommend him to the honest yeo-
many of this State save ''fancy intel.
lect," better adapted to lighter and less i'm.
portant duties than are to be found in the
Office of the Canal Board.

A COOP 50xE.

Father Ritthie, OF the Washington
Union, is frequently involved III trouble on
account of his want Of memory, and conse-
quently want Of consistency In 1929,
when editor Of the Richmond Enquirer, he
published letter from his Washington cor
respondent, which stated that Gen. Jack
sons cabinet was about TO enter upon a
s'searching and impartial investigation" for
the purpose Of turning out Of Office all such
officers who had interfered in the elections.
Now for the joke. The Richmond Wing,
prompted by the complains Of Mr.. Ritchie
against General Taylor's administration for
its removal of office-holders, wickedly pub
lished letter few weeks ago purporting
to come from its Washington corrcspon-
dent, but which was in truth copy of the
very letter originally published by the same
Mr.. Ritchie in the Enquirer of 1899
date and names only being changed. Many
not understanding the rusc, expressed much
surprise, on reading the epistlc, (supposing
it to be authentic,) that General Taylor
should have thought of entering upon such
sweeping system prescription; and Mr.
Richie himself--not recognizing his own
offspring, thus revivcd-eagerly seized upon
it as an evidence of "secret and infamous
system of espionage, the most abominabe
of all the devices Of tyrants,"-"a base and
shameful invocation to the friends of the
administration in the country 10 become
spies and informers against their democrat
ic nelghbors"-"a ferocious spirit of pro
scription which can find its parallel only
among the brutal and sanguinary human
butchers of the French Revolution O
179S." "We invoke the American peo
pie to contemplate the nature and tendency
of this monstrous and detestable system,'
&C., &c. Circumstances certainly do alte
cases, and Father Richie should be careful
how he abuses himself and his friends.

IRON RAILS.

The Montour Iron Company, il is said,
are making and offering rails at fifty dol
lars per ton. This is a very low price,
and can only be done by great reduction
ofwages. The Harrisburg railroad having
purchased a quantity of English rails at
S45 per ton, but finding the Danville rails
so much superior, are now completing the
road with the latter. We presume the
American rail is, in reality, worth doubly
as much more as the difference of cost, but
that does not prevent many companies
giving the English article preference to
our own, upon principle of false economy,
in the first saving. The consequence is
we must stop our own iron works, throw
our own people out of employment, and
send large sums of money to England fol
an article inferior to our own, at a higher
price, when the intrinsic value of the iron
is considered.

TROUBLE WITH ENGLAND.

The affair of the French Minister is by no
means the only matter, and certainly not the
most important, that has been before the
Cabinet at Washington II is now stalled
that not very cordial correspondence has
been going on between our government and
Mr. Champion. who, in the absence of Sit
Henry Ly,ton Bulwer, represents Her British
Majesty in this country.
This correspondence has arisen out of the
interference of Great Britain In Central
America--in that par, of the east coast,
rather, that is known as the Mosquito king.
dom. It is well known that the government
of Nicaragua had granted to an American
Company, the right of constructing water
communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific, BY way OF the river San Juan and
Lake Nicaragua. A young Indian Chief,
calling himself the King of the Mosquitoes,
has put IN claim of sovereignty over the
greater part of the territory through which
the San Juan runs, including the port OF Grey
Town, at its mouth. In his pretensions to
tnlS sovereignty He has pooh '"o' -!
the British government, which had guaran-
tied the integrity CT this territory to the saw
age po,eniate. Accordingly, some time since,
the British Consul at New York informed the
Company who claimed the right TO 20 on
with the canal, that the Government of Nj
carauga had no right TO confer the privileges
they claimed
The matter was then referred to the au-
,horiies at Washington, and correspon-
dence commenced between our Secretary OF
State aud the British representative, in which
it is said that the latter has sustained the
British side Of the question very firmly,
while on the other hand, our government has
been equally firm in upholding the just claims
of American citizens The details Of this
correspondence have not yet leaked ouI
through any of the organs of the administra'
ton; but, it is stated, that our relations with
England are assuming rather threatening
aspect. For our part, we have no doubt tha
this affair, as well as that of the French Min
ister will be soon settled, without any dan
ger of rupture between the two govern
men,s At the same time, we shall sustain
the administration, as will all good citizens
in their decided assertion Of the rights OF on
countrymen. Bulletin.

HENRY NJ. FULLER:

In another article we have adverted to
this gentieman's want of capacity for
proper discharge Of The duties of the Office
of Canal Commissioners post as impor-
tant, we may safely say, as any other with
in the gift of the people of this State. This
of itself should be-and we feel confident
it will bean insuperable objection to his
elevation to the Canal Board. But there
are other objections to the man--if not SO
serious, they are more obnoxious in the
eyes Of those who love an independent
spirit. Mr.. Fuller, our readers are already
aware, was member Of the last legislature.
The "masterly inactivity" he preserved on
the questions which he knew would be
fully investigated by an intelligent const't.
uency, shows him 10 be a man who is
keenly alive to his own advancement, If
not to the best interests of the State. We
submit it to the candor of every intelligent
reader whether this is not the most liberal
construction we can put upon his conduct,
when it is known that he dodged the vote
on the School Low, the Militia Lau, and
the Exemption Law-all of which acts a
large majority of our German friends are
deadly opposed to. For the truth Of this
statement see House Journal Of last session.
Like patriotic legislator, he should have
been independent enough to have shown
his hand on these questions. He should
have given them warm support, or a
manly opposition. This was his plain
duty; but he chose rather to act the part OF
shutting politician than that of the hon.
est public servant. Who, we ask, can have
confidence in a man like this' We ap.
peal, therefore, to the independent voter!
Of this county, to say whether they will
support him in preference to John A. Gam.
BILE, who has not only the firmness ant
moral courage to act boldly in any emer'
gency, but who has the ability and practl'
cal experience TO adorn the station fol
which he has been nominated.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN TIVE BERkS
COUNTY ALNISIiOUSE.

The hospital of the Berks County Poor
house has been the scene Of bloody tragedy,
which is almost unparalleled in the history
Of human actions, involving the destruction
Of family, consisting of wife and daugh-
ter, by the father, and his death by suicide,
after he had inflicted dreadful wounds upon
the head and throat of the wife, with razor
and hammer, and severng the throat o! the
daughter, girl some is years old, with the
same instrument This shocking and san-
culinary deed was committed in one OF the
chambers of the Hospital, occupied 10y the
unfortunate victims for the last ten months,
on Saturday evening last, between and 3
O'Clock His name is FREDERICK STAnI, a
native Of Germany, and his conduct has
always been marked with propriety, but may
have been led to the act by the hopeless con-
dition Of the wife, who is insane, and that Of
his daughter, long confined TO her bed by
lameness and unable to utter a word. The
wife made her escape from the chamber
with her neck dreadfully lacerated BY the
razor, and her head battered with the ham
mer, the handle of which broke in his hands.
When the overseer entered, he found Stahl
reeing TO the floor, and instantly expired
the daughter lay in her gore on the bed, with
her throat cut from ear to ear. The Coroner,
DR.. WHITMAN, held an inquest on the bodies,
and the jury reported in accordance with the
facts as here related. - Berks County Press.

W-FrRE.-We regret to learn that the
barn on the premises occupied by Jacob
Yordy, in Shamokin township, was con-
sumed by fire on Sunday last, together with
his oats and about 25 tons of hay. The fire
commenced in the straw near the barn, and
was, it is supposed, ignited by box of
matches that had been lost in it while
threshing. The barn, we believe, is the
property of Mr.. Dennis Woolverton and
MIR. John Houghawout.
