WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa, PoLITIcs. To-day,
we believe, the primary elections are held in
Washington county, Pa, to determine who shall
be the Democratic nominee from that Doth Con-
gressional district. Our Washington correspon-
dent. in his very readable letter this morning,
pives us some idea of the state of feeling now
existing between the Lazear and Montgomery
factions. twill be seen that unless our friend,
tho Hon. Bill, gets pretty we'll on to thousand
,nsiority in Washington county-that he is "a
gone dog so far as the nominations is concerned
But it is not certain that how'll even get the
county at all, much less, that he will get it by
, the requisite majority. Lazear, the Waynesburg
Bank man, has carried both Greene and Fayette
counties and is now boarding the lion sin his
dem" It's life and death fight with the Hon.
Bill. He knows it and feels it, and the stag at
bay does not fight more desperately than does
the Hon. Bill. For this last fight, this Waterloo
of his hopes and aspirations, he lett his seat
weeks ago in Congress the goth district
voiceless.
The Washington county chief men, we see,
are arraycd against the Hen. Bill The papers
there, Democratic and otherwise, with the single
exception of dirty-faced little bantling of the
Hon. Bills, called the ReoietO, arc also opposed
to him. STILL for all, the Hon. Bill may make
the rifle" as the water craft men say. Heisa
,,tower Of strength" in his own person, wherever
he can lead the legions to the onset. In 1856
he beat back a dead majority of 1000 in his dis
trict for ,Johnathan, Knight in 1854. He went
into the thickest of the fight, ana smote his enc
mics ship and thigh. leaving the whole dis
trict covered with their carcasses. He may,
again. 10 day, "wade through slaughter to
thronea-but We greatly apprehend that ere the
sun sets The orifamne Of William will have gone
under.

1t any ono believes that all the stories
of the glorious old times of the Clay and
jackson campaigns have been used up,
he will find how easy it is to be mista.
ken. Witness the following which comes
to.us from old kentucky, by way OF
Louisiana. Our friend begins:
"You must know, (but we did not
know "that around and aboutth beau
titul city Of Lexington, in the State OF
Kentucky, for a distance of IL or Is
miles, there lives-or aid live twenty
yaars ago-a great number of small far
mcrs, who find in that fair city a mar
ket for she surplus produce of their
farms, and there they cart it and buy
.fihery and mick hacks for their fami-
lies.
One of these farmers, poor but in
dustrious and fearless man, had pork
er, few barrels ofmeal, potatoes, beans,
ETC., which he wished to dispose of, and
borrowing horse and wagon, he pack
ed up his things, and just at dusk, set
off for town.
Arrived at vne or TIVE in the morn
ing, he entered the market house, and
selecting stall, he split the dressed
pig into halves, and hung them on the
stout hooks, and with bag Of meal for
a pillow lay down and slept soundly
and late, and when be awoke the mar
ket people were crowding in; and lo one
half of his pig was gone. 1t was clean
gone. He made known his loss, and
raving and swearing, he drew the crowd
absut him. AS he grew warm with
wrath, he said:
81 know the sort o man that stole
that pork-Ido."
"Well why not let tout if you know,
and we will help fnd himl' they cried
out in reply.
"Ycs, | know his sort; 1 do, he was a
Clay man.
As old Harry Clay lived within mile
of the market, and every man there
was ready to go the death for him, this
was a bold speech, to accuse Clay man
of stealing half pig in Lexington and
they closed in on him to- give him sound
when one demanded of him
what made him think it was one of
Clay's men
"Why, nobody but Clay man would
have done it; If he had been Jackson
man he would have gone the whole
hog
This turned the tables. The Lexing-
tonians carried him to a coffee house to
a hot breakfast and n morning spree,
made up his loss, and sent him home re-
joicing over his luck.

George Lippard, in his work called

Jackson :.

one of our members, more fiery than

Then the old man rose. can see him

DfS- Washington seldom showed that
he was much elated or excited. He
had very strong feelings, but generally
suppressed them. When on his way to
take command of the American army
at Cambridge, the last of June 1875, he
met the news of Bunker Hill battle: and
he was so rejoiced to learn, that the Mil
tia would fight bravely for the country
he took off his hat and gave three cheers;
and said, there is hope, my country
men are brave"
In 1777, the third year Of the war, he
was very anxious to have the States
raise troops for during the war; or at
least for three years, rather than one
A Committee Of the General Court OF
Massachusetts, waited on him to inform
him, that they had voted 10 raise the
men he wanted, but for only one year
He jumped from his chair, and said
good God, gentlemen, the country will
be ruined by such measures I He then
took bis seat, and was perfectly calm
But the men were raised for during the
war, or for three years.

New STEAMERS LONGER THAN THE

NEW STEAMERS LONGER THAN THE
MISUNDERSTANDING public attention
has been attracted so strongly by the
unusual dimensions of the Leviathan
that tho name Of that vessel is in every
body's mouth, it happens singuIarly
enough that two vessels of greater
length, and of o more remarkable char
acter, have been advancing to compile
ton in Liverpool without the general
public being even cognizant of their ex-
istence. Those vessels are 200 feet long.
They have been constructed by Messrs
Vernon & Son for the Oriental Inland
Steam Company, and are intended for
the navigation of the Indian rivers
The purpose Of their peculiar featui cs
of construction is to enable large car
go to be carried at good rate of speed
upon a light draught of water. The
great rivers of India, though penetra-
ting far into the interior, and though
containg large volumes of water, are
are nevertheless shallow during the dry
season. The vessels navigating them
must, therefore, float very light, and
yet they must have displacemeIteno
TO carrya good cargo. They must have
strength enough not TO suffer injury il
they should get aground, and they must
present such little resistance TO the wa
ter as TO be able to achieve satisfacto-
ry rate of progress against the stream.
All these indications are admirably full
filed in the yessels.-Liverpooi Albion.

Why we have no Thunder in Winter.

Prof. Espy, in his Fourth Meteorolog
ical Report, thus explains why we have
no thunder in winter at is asked why
we have no thunder in winter. though
the tops of the storm clouds rise even in
this season to a region where the air is
at least considerably charged with cleo
tricity. Perhaps the answer may be
found in this-that the storm clouds in
the winter are of great extent, and of
course the tension of the electricity,
being extended over very large sur
face, is very feeble; and the substance
of the cloud being itself formed out of
vapor much less dense than that of sum
mer clouds, this tension may not be
able to strike from one particular of the
clouds to the adjacent one; 40 general
discharge can take place. Besides, even
in the winter, during very warm spell
of weather, with high dew. point for
the season, we sometimes have o violent
thunder storm from cloud of very
limited horizontal extent, as the thun-
der clouds always arc in the summer.
Such cloud is in reality an insulated
pillar of hot air, mingled with condensed
vapor, having just given out into the
air its latent caloric, causing the air at
the top Of this cloud, in many cases, to
be go degs. warmer than the air on the
outside of the same level"
