ton to Congress, were not alone confined to
Missouri. 1t was felt everywhcre--wek know it
was in this very city of Wheeling, that white
labor and the interest of white men, as
against quasi hostility and competition with
serf labor, had escaped degradation and had
palpably advanced in the public estimation.
1t is in this view of what was gained in the
election and of what is lost in the defeat of
Francis P. Blair that we ask the question as
to what cause of congratnlation there is to the
industrial interests of this city and surrounding
country in the prostration of such man as
Blair?
The genius Of American civilization is repre-
sented in public statuary standing midst the
surroundings of the arts and sciences-smiling
graciously on the sheaf, the plow-share, the
forge, the up lifted half arm of the mechanic,
and the spread sails of commerce. Not moro
ruthless would be the blow were the central
figure struck from the group by yandal hand
than that which has felled him who was the ex-
Poncnt of the rising energy of the great South
west.
TIE LATEST FROM KANsAs.-We invite the
attention Of everybody to the Kansas election
news in this days paper. It beats our most san
gLine expectations, clear out of sight Lecomp-
ton, with its land bride and all, have been sent
to the dogs most efEectuslly. For instance, here's
specimen. Leavenworth county gives ma.
jority of seUsnteen hundred and forty eight
egainstit. Partial returns from three other coun-
ties Shawnee johnson and Franklin) swell
the vote against the bill to four thousand sepsn
hundred and four out. of total vote of six
thousand eight hundred and forty-six. (Isn't
that laying bare, to the bone, the swindlcP)
The whole vote of the Territory, it is thought,
will reach thirteen thousand, and the free state
men CLAIM, that they have carried the election
by majority of nine thousand.
Comments on such result is unnecessary
Suffice it to say that this is the end of the con-
stitution which it cost this government so many
tens of thousands of dollars to refer back to the
people of Kansas.

Discovery IN THE MANUFACTURE OF LEATHER.
The Ohio Farmer mentions an ssimportant
discovery" in the manufacture of leather, by.
which the progress of tanning is performed in
as many days as it formerly required months.
Leather, it is known, is formed by the union of
gelatin, OF which the skin is chiefly composed,
and tGnnin, n substance found in the bark of
the oak, hemlock and BIRCH and in a few shrubs
like the. sumac, DC. For tanning purposes i'm
mense breadths of forest have already been de-
Stroyed, and the supply of tannin steadily de-
creases, while the demand for leather increases.
Many mineral and vegetable substances have
been tried as substitutes, but without success,
and tanners are now obliged to import hemlock
from great distance and at a constantly iucrea-
sing cost
1t has recently been discovered, says the Far
n1er, that we have growing spontaneously and
IN great abundance all over tho country. in
every state and territory in the Union, and we
believe all over Europe, too, hitherto worthless
and very troublesome plant but which con.
tains an abundance of tannin." We are not
informed what tits, but the discoverer a Mr..
Johnsonis said to have ascertained its proper.
tles alter many years of careful study and ex.
pertinent By the new process he tans a calf
skin IN two anda half days, which formerly re.
CURED from six to twelve months The inyen.
ton has been secured to the dscoverer by
letters-patent of the United States and measures
are taking to secure the same in Europe.-N. y.

THE YEI1ow FEvEp-There was "yellow
fever panic" in Philadelphia, the other day, in
consequence of the death of custom-house
office. 1t appears that the bark Elizabeth j.,
from Havana, arrived there about three weeks
ago, chiefly loaded with sugar. Coming from
an infected port, She was stopped at quarantine
for the usual ten days, during which sickness
broke out on board of her. After a further de-
tention of five days, however, the sick we're
sent to the hospital, and she was allowed to go
up to the city. After being fumigated and
cleansed, she arrived at her wharf on the 9th
July, and on the Soth the matches were opened
and George shetzline, day inspector of the Gus
toms, " as engaged on duty, seeing the cargo
discharged. On Saturday, (tho next day,) he
was taken sick of n malignant disease, pro.
nounced a clear case of yellow fever by his
physician, and he died at his residence in Rox-
borough. There were rnmors of other cases of
the disease in the city. .......

cuses Dr.:Samuel Johnson of being the hirellng

In politics Judge Hale may be called
a Democratic Wing. He commenced
life as Democrat, but joined the Wing
party ON the tariff and currency ques-
tions. He is now, and ever has been,
really and more identified with the mass
es than nine-tenths of those who profess
to be Democrats. Living in the iron
county of Centre, he has ever been a
strong advocate of protection. Judge
Hale, through sunshine and storm, has
stood by the great iron interest of Penn
sylvania When he commenced political
life, all parties were for the tariff He
has lived to see all parties come back and
take up this great principle, so vital to
Pennsylvania.
Need it be said that he loathes and de-
spises the Lecompton fraud aud English
swindle? Such man, brought up from
boyhood among the people, the architect
of his own fortunes, from lumberman
on the river to the judicial bench, always
sympathizing with, and beloved and re-
spected by, the people, could not look
tamely on and see their rights trampled in
the dust Every court house IN his dis
trict has heard his voice proclaiming the
indignation of freeman against this cru
ell outrage, while bis opponent, basely bow
ing to the knee of power, betrayed by his
votes those who trusted him. The sec,
ord Tuesday of October will bring in the
verdict of freemcn in the ignominious de-
feat of Allison White, and the triumph
ant election Of Judge Hale.

From the Phildds iphia Press.
The Centre Congressional Dis
fFie1.

Both parties have made their nomina-
tions in this district. The Lecompton
candidate is Hon. Allison White, the
present member, lawyer of Lock Haven,
Clinton county. He has been a silent
member, and put for his votes on the Le-
compton and English swindle would nev-
er have been heard of out of his own dis
trict. Having misrepresented the views
of a large majority Of his constituents, he
would probably have sunk into n quiet
political grave, had not the office-holders
bolstered him up and renominated him.
His defeat is certain, as the people of this
district can never sustain Lecomptolism
in any form.
The peoples candidate Is the Hon.
James T. Hale, of Bellefonte. Judge
Hale is a native of Bradford county. He
was brought up on farm near Towanda,
and, like many of the hardy sons of the
North, he frequently RATED lumber down
the river to Marietta and Columbia, re-
turning home on foot. From Bradford
county he came to Miff1in county in 1888 :,
and studied law in the office of his uncle,
Elias w Hale, for many years the lead
ing lawyer of central Pennsylvania. On
the death of his uncle, he entered into
copartnership with the present Judge
Wilson, and was appointed deputy Attor-
ney General for Miffin county by Hon.
Ellis Lewis, then Attorney General of
Pennsylvania. In 1885, Mr.. Hale mar
ried the daughter of Judge Huston, of
the Supreme Court, and removed to Belle
fonte the same year. Here he speedily
rose to distinction at the bar, and, on a
vacancy occurring on the bench, was ap-
pointed president judge This Office he
held for about year, and then returned
to the bar.
Judge Hale is about forty-eight years
of age, in full vigor of life and health
As lawyer he has no superior. In the
Supreme Court no one is listened to by
Judges more attentively; but the great
arena of his triumph is in trying causes
before jury. Here his legal learning
aud practical knowledge of every kind of
business. from the construction of the
most intricate machinery to the ordinary
pursuits of life, backed up by a ready
command of language, winning address,
and persuasive oratory, carry the jury
with him whenever the court leaves a
| loop-hole for them to do SO.
