The pro-slwcry journals just now, are
making great point out Of the s'rcspectabill
ity" of Mr.. Buchanan and his. connections. -
Seeing that for sometime, past the political
'respcctability' of its presidential candidate
was rather Of q questionable character, it is
well to do this, but is there not a confession
Of Mcssrs. Pierce and Douglass illegitimacy
in the boast? As ihe Boston .Atias truly
remarks the pro-slavery democratic party, af-
ter dreadful career of dissolutc debauch,
has suddenly fallen in love with rcspectabilty
and department. We had foretaste Of this
in the attempt to convert that Slcnus Of
Senator, Mr.. Butler, into a whiteheaded,
venerable gentleman---an attempt which
might have been successful, .if tho, patriarch
could have been persuaded to hold his tongue.
We have all heard how His Satanic Majesty,
when tortured by indigestion, announced his
intention Of entering upon a monasiic life;
and We have also heard Of the curious way in
which, after his recovery, he kept his vow.
The party is Just now in very dyspeptic
condition. 1t has been registering with AT
Gibson and Douglas; it has been dancing to
unconstitutional tunes, and dicipg for un.
constitutional stakes, until strength, reputaf
ton and finances arc all exhausted. 1t now
cries out that it has reformed; that it means
to be conscientious and conservative; and in
proof of this, it puts forward Mr.. Buchapap's
black coat and white cravat! In qdietef,
times the trick might have been successful bit
the country just now is in no temper to be
tfihcd with. The character of candidate
in contest which has already commenced
will be stcrnly criticised; his past career re-
morselcssly exainined; his present position
thoroughly unncrstoed,-

The Cincinnati Nomination.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, under the caption,
"James Buchanan-A nomination not fit to
be made" writes as follows:
James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, having
received the nomination for President of tho
United States by the office holders pro-slave-
ry republicans and democrats to his past his
tory. On the 4th Of July, 1915, he said in
his speech on that occasion, that "if he
thought he had drop of democratic blood in
his veins, he would open an artery and let it
out" He was first elected to tho legislature
by tho federalists of Lancaster in that year,
and afterwards elected by the federalists in
1920, 1922, 1924, and 1926, in opposition
to the democratic candidates. Jacob Hcbsham
Samuel Houston. and DR.. John McCamant
In 1928, June Sd, as chairman of federal
committee he addressed circular to the fed
eralists Of the state, calling upon them to
support Andrew Gregg, afederalist, for Gov
crnor, in opposition to the democratic candi.
date. In 1923, at the Yellow Springs, Ches-
ter county. he refused 10 allow his name to be
used as democrat, saying che was jackson
man, but thank God no democrat" Gencr-
al Jackson cautioned President Polk against
him as an unfithful and dcceitful man; and
when too late, Mr.. Polk found out the truth
Of the caution. and SO expressed himself to the
Hon. Henry Horn, ofPhiladelphia.
/, Tho democrats of the Union should reflect
before they vote for Mr.. Buchanan for Presi-
dent. He is willy ihah, and will be sur
rounded by bad mcn--men of the stamp Of
Brooks, Forney, Herbert d Company. His
present democratic pretcnsions are all fudge.
and he was no doubt sincere when he said
''tcn cents day was enough for poor labor
or in this country" Working men and me-
chanics! hesitate before voting-look into
old Bucks history and give him the cold
shoulder"

The community were shocked yesterday
morning by the discovery that Mr.. Thomas
Applcbce, grocer had been shockingly muir
dered III tho back room Of his. store, No. 81
Randolph street, during "Wednesday night
His body lay near the back door, dreadfulIy
manglcd and cut, presenting n spcctacln Of
horror that might well appal the btoutest
heart. -DiA" 7leilsli.fa 77'H' ~.
1t would seem that the murderer entered
the store soon after o'clock when Mr.. Apple.
bee had sent away all his clerks, and was en-
gagged in counting cash, and that the dcccas-
ed went into tho back room with the custom
er to get butter. In the refrigerator where
the butter. was kept was candle, which had
been but just lighted and cxtinguishcd, and
the hat Of Mr.. Applebec. The lid Of the
refrigerator will not remain open, and it is
likely that he placed the candle in it, and was
holding the lid up with one hand cutting but
ter with a knife in the other, when struck on
near the refrigerator, but the body lay several
feet distant. Tho butter knife is large
butcher knife, lay ON tho floor with blood on
it. A Ratchet belonging to the store was
covered with blood and hair, and had been
buried in the face and head of the deceased
both by blows with tho edge and tho head.
1t is a heavy hatcbet, very blunt, and with a
heavy clay head. About ten dollars in gold
and silter~as found n.Mr. Applebee's pock-
cts. His gold watch was in the pocket, but
the ring of it lay on the floor, while tho
chain was torn from tho vest as if by sud.
den jerk. The chain and watch were not ta-
ken. The change in the money drawer was
not disturbed. The boy who acts ,ss book
keeper thinks Mr.. Applebee had put the mon
cy on hand in bills into his pocket book in
his breast pocket, several hundred dollars in
amount, but as to tho quantity he cannot be
certain. The pocket. book and bills are, mis-
sing, and no tiHe to the Identification of the
money is yet brought out. p
Mr.. Applebcc had resided in tho city n
number Of years. He was widowcr, with
n daughter about l6 years Of age, and a
son and daughter younger. lie was much
eetcemed by his acquaintances, and his shock
ing death has produced great sensation.-
The Police, both public and independent, are
alert to discover the murderer. y, Mayor Dyer
offers reward of 81 900, and Sheriff Beach
$500, for the apprehension of the murderer.

A TRUE HEARTED WoMAN.-One day last
week lady Of this city, well known to many
of our readers, was passing hence to Provi-
dence on the railroad. She was occupying n
seat by herself, when well dressed, intelli-
gent, and apparently gentlcmanly man, be-
longing to party seated all around her, ask
cd if he might take a place by her side, to
which she politely assehted. The party soon
fell into conversation. and the outrage upon
Mr.. Sumner being alluded to- the we'll dress
ed man aforesaid declared that he had no
sympathy with the Massachusetts Senator,
who only got what he deserved. He was
only sorry that Brooks, by the manner of his
assault. had given occasion for an excitement.
The lady bore the rascal's talk for time, but
at length, when she could stand it no longer,
she said: "Sir, it seems that you are an ad-
vocatc of ar.,ed and ruflianly violence against
unsuspecting and defenceless men, forrthe ut
terancc of their opinions upona great public
question, and MS have no assurance that you
will not put your theory into practice upon
myself If venture to express my sentiments
as unrescrvedly as You have uttered your own,
do not feel safe to sit so near you. will
thank You, therefore, to move, so that I can
pass you and find another seat" These
words were uttered with perfect calmness and
womanly dignity, and they made the advo.
cate Of ruffianism blush TO his very hair, as
the lady Withdrew from his presence TO seek
purer atmosphere. The rebuke, so timely
and well-aimed, was fell, and those who wit
messed the scene will not SOON forget il.

From tho Pittsburgh Gnzstte.
Mr.. Buchanan In Pennsylvania.

The loud buster of the Buchanan men,
and their boast that they carry Pennsylvania
with twenty, and cSeh fifty thousand majon-
ty has deceived many well-meaning demo-
Gratis into the belief that their candidate is
inyincible in this state; while some of tho
opponents of the administration have permit
ted themselves to believe that there may be,
really, some foundation for the boasts so free
ly INDUCED in. ls na ~
We do not believe there is any reason for
such conclusion. We admit that Buchan-
an is a much less Objectionable man to the
people Of Pennsylvania than Douglas or Pierce
would have been, but beyond the fact that
the nomination Of either Of tho latter would
have driven many democrats from the ranks,
that Buchanan will be able TO retain them,
he possesses no strength that may be called
formidable. His nomination simply keeps
been driven from it, but it brings no outside
aid. We have not seen or heard Of one old
line whig, republican or American, who will
vote for him; and ,De know that there are
hundreds of democrats in this county ,cho 90
tedfor Pierce, aDho wM not, Mnder any cir
cumstdnces, vote for Buchanan.
In 1852 Pierce carried Pennsylvania by
an immense majority, and he obtained sweep
ing maiorities in Greene, Fayette, Westmore-
land, Armstrong, Clarion, Venango, Butler,
Mercer, Crawford, Warren, Mexican, Potter,
Bradford, Susquehanna and Tioga counties.
It was by means Of these counties that he
carried tho state. In 1856 nearly all these
counties will give heavy majoritics against
Buchanan, and the few that will not do so
will be able to give but nominal majorities
fer him. The change in these counties will
much more than compensate for tho few whig
votes Buchanan will pick up in Lancaster and
Philadelphia; and if it does not render his
defeat certain, it at least leaves Pennsylvania
doubtful, and makes it the battle-ground of
the campaign. The opposition will enter the
contest with an equal chance of success; and
if prudence and wisdom rule their counsels,
their triumph is sure. Mr.. Buchanan has in
him no elements Of popularity; and if his
friends, now iubilant at his escape from defeat
at Cincinnati, think they are going to have
an easy victory they arc reckoning without
their host.

Congressional.

SENATE.-Washingto juno 13.-Mr.
Butler concluded his remarks by claiming he
had convicted Sumner OF error, misreprcscn-
tation and caluihhy.,
Mr.. Wilson replied, meeting Summers 20
sition, stating from the 20 Of May Mr.. Sum
ner had been confined to his room tho great
cr part Of Ills time in consequence of the as
sault, and unable TO attend to his business
for some time TO como. Mr.. Butler had Ia
ken full revenge for the speech delivered by
Mr.. Sumner. This is the way it should have
been me-. and not by blows. Mr.. Wilson in
dorsed Mr.. Summers remarks relative TO
South Carolina, and referred to former speech
es of Mr.. Butler to show that ever since Mr..
b. has been in the Senate his replies to Mr.
Sumner have been in offensive epithcts calcu-
lated TO injure the feelings of any man, and
insisted that Mr.. Butler was the first aggres-
sor. nsHtyrsT
Mr.. Butler said Mr. Wilson had no right to
60 back to old reports TO show cause for Sum-
ner's speech because Summer in affidavits said
his speech was in reply to Buffers speeches
of this session. He asked Wilson how many
battles there were fought I'D Massachusetts
during the Revolution. Hereplied not many,
because the enemy considered it safer to 60 TO
South Carolina. They met them At Concord;
Bunker Hill, Lexington and Dorchester
Heights, and would have met them else
where, but the enemy took good care to keep
out of sight.
Evans obtained the floor. Adjourned till
