Political ARRAY at LeavenwOrth,

LEAvENwoRTH, September ga collision
occurred between the Democrats and Repub-
licans on Saturday night. Both parties were
having demonstrations prior to the municipal
election, to-day. While the Republicans were
holding meeting at the intersection Of two
streets, the Democratic tOrch-light procession
attempted to pass through. On being resisted,
a general melee ensued, several hundred on
both sides participating, using stones, blud-
geOns, pistols and knives.
One man was shot, five or six severely cut
but none fatally. The Republicans maintained
their ground and proceeded with their meeting
The affray is believed to have been purely ac-
cidental, and is universally regretted. There
are some apprehensions Of renewal of the
disturbances to-day. Effective preventive
measures have been taken.

Six LUNATIcs BuRNr-Bath, N. Y, August
2S--Last night about half-past one o'clock a
fire broke out in building adjoining the
Steuben County Poor-house, occupied by the
deranged and raving members Of that institu-
ton The building was destroyed, and six Of
its occupants were roasted alive. No one
knows what was the origin of the fire, as the
keeper had locked the inmates up at the usual
hour, and the building was wrapped in flames
before the alarm was given. There was
scarcely time to break open tho doors and SO.
cure the nearest victims from the flames, all Of
whom were badly burnt. The dead are mostly
old men.

New RAILROAD ROUTE TO THE WEsT.-An-
other railroad line from East to West, throug gh
the interior of Pennsylvania, is about to be
opened. The New York Tribune says that it
has undoubted information that Mr.. Cullen,
the President of the Reading Railroad Com
pany, has consented to enter into an arran ge-
ment by which in few days through pas
senger and freight trains will be running
over his Lebanon Valley Branch, and East
Pennsylvania Railroad, from Jersey City and
Elzabethport, to all points in the West and
Southwest. This is new route, and cer-
tainly q very important one to New York.
The Tribune adds:
nearer to Cincinnati and st. Louis by this
route than by either tho New York Cen trail
or Erie, and two hundred and seventy six
nearer Cleveland and Chicago, and points
west thereof. Over it passengers may be
taken to the far West without change of cars,
and freight can be locked up in the cars at
Jersey City or Elizabethport, and landed at
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago and
Iowa City without break Of bulk or trans hip
ment. As this new route will be open in q
few days for through business we shall very
soon see what effect it will have upon our
two great New York lines, the Central and
Erie. In winter, when these more northern
routes are more or less blocked up, as they
often are, this new line (like the Baltimore
and Ohio Road) will be clear from such OBJ
structions. AS Mr.. Cullen has consented tt
make the desired arrangements, we presume
no more will be heard of the Allentown ant
Auburn Road as rival line to the Lebanon
Valley branch of the Reading Road, for th'
through business, and for tho coal trade o
the main road.

Streams and Showers of Fire.

A correspondent in Naples says of Vesu-
vius:
have sent you no report Of his doings for
some time, though at the beginning Of the week
the sides of the mountain appeared to be in a
fearful state. Toward the 10th of the last
month the crater in the direction Of the Her
mitage was tolerably quiet; it was perfectly
white, being covered with saln'arino. Toward
Boscoreale the mountain was throwing OUT
bombs, with the sound as if it were of artillery
which made the whole crater tremble.
Near the Plato di Ginestre there was grottc
twelve palms in hight, and three hundred
PAGES perhaps in length; out of it came cur
rent of lava; "it travelled so rapidly" says the
guide, "that was compelled to fly" This
crater in the direction of Pompeii was at tha
time throwing out fire and hot stones at tn {
Fosso Grands there were twenty two currents o
lava; at the Tironi ten others; and at the Rivo d
Quaglis twelve additional streams, which occa
stoned great damage. On Tuesday last th'
lava flowed down most copiOusly, and it was ;
piteous sight to witness the small proprietors
who watched its course and wept bitterly. Oh
the Cd of August, the streams, which nuInberet
perhaps one hundred and twenty-four, ceaSet
entirely, and the mountain, which, on the day
before had been, on tho side facing Naples,
large bed of lire, was now mass of black ash
On the night of the 4th, however, two fresl
streams burst out in the direction of the Cine 8
tire, and are now running down upon Tore de
Greco like streams of water.
Up to this time, eighty small proprietor
have lost their land. Someof the most strikin
features in the history of the mountain is tn
caprice of its movements. One day it
aging, blazing all over, and the next day it j
as silent as death, and its existence only indi
Gated by thin black smoke rising from tn
summit.
A few hours afterward, and the lava is pour
ing down, and some hapless cottager is break
ing down his doors and windows, and carryin
off the woodwork. 1t is a natural object Q
great interest, is Vesuvius, and I must con
tnuo to report his proceedings.

hasten to inform you of the loss, under
the most deplorable circumstances, of the
two fine screw steamships Kars and SHistria,

entirely the result of carelessness. Not any

| Eay@ Mordicai, in a recent conversation
with the editor of the Democrat q Sentinel,
intimates in very plain terms that Bitters and
Damphool are both fools. Without any dis
position whatever to invoke the Ter taLionis,
but admitting the soft impeachment, those
gentlemen respectfully ask room in these col
umns, to submit for the benefit of Mordicai,
the following proverb, written, we believe,
many years ago, by wise man called Solo
mon:
"Scest thou a man wise in his own conccit
there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Now, considering that there is not in all
these parts, fellow so wise in his own con-
ceit as Mordicai, the natural conclusion is,
that his case is rather a hopeless one. Ney-
crtheless, Bitters and Damphool, with that
magnanimity which they are so wont to dis
play on all occasions, are content to let the
Public draw their own inferences; and they
insist, that should it be determined from the
premises that Mordicai is an idiot-why then
it's not their fault.

Not so with our Bitters: we never interfere

great, so much the more care havewe to exercise

unrivalIed Bitters in small quantities, merely
giving the patient a slight nip occasionally

different Your case was a peculiar one, one
of its most alarming symptoms being that the
more Bitters we gave you, the more you seemed
disposed to take. You had indeed become quite

The Result ia Kansas.

The recent constitutional election in
| Kansas seems to have been very much
| like the handle of a jug, the friends of the
new constitution beating its opponents
about two to one. This ought to be enough
to settle the stomach of the most rampant
Lecomptonite as it puts a most effectual
| stopper on the stereotyped falsehood Of
the slave Democracy that the people of
Kansas Gil not care 4 button about setting
up state government On their own ac-
count.
The figures, as published in the ST.
Louis RGpuJtjca1a, look this way:
For the Constitution 1919
Against the Constitution $50
For the Homestead Law S75S
Against the Homestead Law 4772
The most gratifying feature of this pop
ular decision is the etriumphant support OF the
benehcent homestead measure. This mao
unanimous Hberality viii do more TO attract
population to the new Commonwealth than
any legislative act which could be devised.
This decision secures the actual settler in
possession Of his homestead. bevond the
disturbing influence of the sheriff or
the bailitf and thus makes him feel the
pride Of true independence There is
much more wisdom in the measure adopt
ed by the people of Kansas than in our
three hundred dollar exemption law, which
allows too wide a charter for the dishon-
est, and too little protection for the honest,
man.
The Republican party, both BY na-
tional platform and by Congressional vote
has committed itself fully to the lib
eral doctrine of granting land to actual
settlers on condition of the Improvement
Of the homestead thus conferred. Had
the Democrats in the last Congress been
Democrats in anything but the name, the
Homestead Bill would have been made a
tinality, and the fertile lands of the great
West made to bloom like gardens under
the benehcent efforts of the hardy sons of
toll. But the aristocratic Senate. which
has no sympathy with the poor man, be-
ing wholly under southern control, killed
the measure of course. We hope for bet
ter luck with Republican President; for
we have an abiding faith that this great
act of justice will eventually be made law.

EkaEper'S Ferry TrOubIe.---OId
Grown Convicted

! CHARLEsTowN, Oct 3I.-The Court
House was densely crowded to witness the
! close ofthe trial of Old Brown. The coun-
sel proceeded to sum up. Mr.. Griswold
| opened for the defense, followed by Mr..
| Chiffon on the same side, and the argu-
ment was closed by Mr.. Hunter for the
prosecution.
The argument being concluded, Mr.
Chiffon asked the Court to instruct the
jury that if they believed the prisoner was
not citizen OF Virginia, they cannot con-
wet HIM on the count of treason. The
Court declined saying the Constitution
did not give rights and immunities alone
but also responsibilities.
Mr.. Chiffon asked another instruction.
to the effect that the jury must be satisfied
| as to the place where the offence was COM
mltted, whether within the boundaries of
Jefferson county, which the Court granted
a recess for half an hour was taken,
when the jury came in with their verdict
An intense excitement prevailed in the
Court room. Brown sat up In his bed
while the verdict was being rendered.
The jury found him '.guilty of advising
and conspiring with slaves and others to
rebel, and Of murder in the first degree"
Brown laid down quietly. He said
nothing, and there was no demonstration
of any kind.
Mr. Chiffon moved an arrest of judgment
both on account of the errors In the in
dlctment and errors In the verdict
By agreement the points viii be argued
tomorrow morning. Brown was remand
ed to jail
On Wednesday, Sd inst, Brown was
brought into the Court House, to receive
his sentence. The court gave its decision on
the motion to arrest Judgment, ovcrruling
objections made. On the objection that
treason cannot be committed against a
State except by a citizen, it ruled that
wherever allegiance was due, treason may
be committed most of the States have
passed laws against treason. The objec-
tions rs to the form Of the verdict ren-
dered were also regarded as insufficient
The Court then proceeded TO pronounce
the sentence. After few preliminary re-
marks, in which he said no reasonable
doubt could exist as to the prisoners S
guilt, lie sentenced him to be hung, an pub
lie, on Friday, the 2d oqy Of December.
Brown received the sentence with COM
posure.
Mr.. Harding announced that he was
ready to proceed with the trial of Coppee,
who was then brought in. He took seat
between Messrs. Griswold and Hoyt, who
appeared as his counsel He appeared
calm and composed.
The remainder Of the day was spent in
endeavoriHg 70 procure jury. The panel
was not complete when, at ) o'clock. the
Court adjourned.
After the panelling Of the jury, the case
was resumed. No witnesses were calIe5
Tor the defense. Mr.. Harding opened the
argument for the State, and Hoyt and
Griswoid for the defendant. MIR. Hunter
closed for the prosecution. The jury then
retired, and, after being out about an
hour, returned with verdict, declaring
HIM guilty on all the counts In the indict.
. ment.
