Loss of Lives by Heat.

Our exchanges come with accounts OF
the overpowering hot weather in the South.
Natchez, ST. Louis, Memphis, Savannah
and New Orleans are suffering almost be-
yond precedent. The average range OF the
thermometer at these points, is this year
far in excess of that of the past.
Forty-two deaths occurred in New Or
leans week before last from sun stroke, and
forty from apoplexy The whole mortality
of the city was 500 The sun is said to
have poured down with an intensity which
the "oldest resident does not recollect to
have seen equalled."
Seventeen persons fell victims, in three
days, to sun-stroke in St Louis, Missouri
Their names are reported in full, with the
attending circumstances, in the Evening
News of the 21st ult. One was witness
in court, another waiter at hotel, one
was trapper whose whole life had been
series of exposures in the service of the
American Fur Company, another was a
Frenchman. Some were women, and some
boys, and all ranks of life were represent

c., the thermometer being 102 degrees in
the shade. The Courier says that the heat
commenced on the 28th Of June, and has
continued ever since. The quicksilver has
been kept at points not common for it to
rise to, and this has continued even at night.
The air, even when it is in motion, is hot
and withering.
In Mobile, Alabama, some half dozen
cases of coup de soEeI had occurred
Heretofore it has been almost unknown in
that place. Even night offers no protec-
ton The heat was so intense that the
rollers of the press of the Advertiser were
melted The thermometer stood in the
shade at from 90 to 100 degrees.
Six deaths are reported at Augusta,
Georgia One of them was of a traveller
from Pennsylvania who was oyerpowered
while sitting in train of cars about to
leave the city. In the neighborhood ofthat
| place numerous other cases were chronicled.
In Savannah, Georgia, the thermometer
stood at 90 degrees in the shade. The sea
breeze was almost as bad Us that from the

Nomination of Jas. T. Hale.

When we suggested some time ago that
in case Mr.. Hale had no opposition the ed
itors of the district should place him in
nomination, we did so for the purpose of
avoiding 4 conferee meeting-for although
it is but little trouble to Mifflin, Centre,
Clinton or Lycoming to send conferees,
those from Potter and Sullivan must neces-
sarily travel hundreds of miles and lose
much time in performing what we suppo-
sed would be mere formality. This course
was met with appreciation by those who
took the same view as ourselves, but the
Lock Haven Watchman, in coarse, ill-man-
nered language, condemned the proceeding,
and has now, we perceive, brought out Mr.
Mackey as a candidate, probably against
that gentleman's wishes and without his
knowledge, for We have reason to believe
that Mr.. M. is a warm friend of Judge
Hale's. The editor of the Watchman,
however, seems bent on putting the district
to all the trouble he can, with what result
he will see when the conferees meet. In
strong contrast with this course, the last
Potter journal, copies the Muncy Lumina-
ry's article with our proposition appended,
and then adds the following:
We cheerfully give our endorsement to the
above plan, and accordingly we place the
name of Judge Hale at our masthead and &C
cept him as our candidate. The plan is
good one, and is now endorsed by the leading
papers Of four counties in the district-Cen-
tire, Miflin, Lycoming and this county. and
will no doubt be very acceptable to Sullivan
county. The Lock Haven Watchman objects
,on the ground Of party discipline" and at
the same time admits that it knows of no one
else who desires to be candidate against
Judge Hale ghe Watchman's objection is
far fetched and self answered. We are in fa
vor of party discip pline" when necessary :;
but as there seems to be no person aspiring
to supplant Judge Hale at this time, we think
there is nothing demanding the exercise of
"discipline" We do not believe in keepinp
the army on a war footing in time of peace !:
and, furthermore, we think that the unuuali.
fed endorsement of Judge Hale for reelection
by the entire Republican press of the district
will conduce more to his strength than other
wise. Some even think he will have no op-
ponent, but we believe Gen. Skinner, of Ly-
coming, will be the Democratic candidate.
But let who will be the candidate, we have no
fear of Judge Hale being defeated.

PARTY Organization.

The regular democratic party held
meeting at Harrisburg on Thursday last,
and after some delberation determined to
postpone action in forming an Electoral
Ticket of known Douglas men until after
the next meeting of the democratic State
Committee. We should not be at all sur
prised yet to see the Douglas wing outgen-
eraled in this matter before they are done.
At present they have the Irregular organiza-
ton to claim for their candidate, and as
such of course entitled to electors favorable
to him, but as soon as they commence a
temporising policy and recognize DIsoR-
GAMERS and sECEDERs as part and
parcel Of their party, they are no longer
entitled to the appellation of being the par
ty. This can be best exemplifed in coun-
ty matters. Suppose, for instance, small
portion of the delegates to the next demo-
cratic county convention should secede, set
themselves up as "the party" and nomin-
ate candidate for the Legislature, for Sher-
III, or Register, would the majority, consti-
tuting the regular convention, treat them
asequals, or as possessing any rights what
ever? Certainly not. The majority would
say to the seoeders, you are disorganizers,
and set at naught the usages of the party,
and upon you will rest the stigma of de-
feat" In the case of the electoral ticket,
this very question is pertinent. Nomina-
ted by the State Convention before the Ma
tional Convention met, as honorable men
they stood pledged to vote, in case of their
election, for the regular nominee Of the
party and no ether. But say the minority,
we want our friends, comprising at least
two-thirds Of that ticket--probably put
there for the express purpose Of opposing

he made speeches for the Democracy.
BeAThe city officers have decided that it is
unlawful to erect liberty pole in Washing

RkapA halbut weighing 245 pounds was
taken last week by a Gloucester fisherman;
this is said to be the largest halibut known
to have been taken.
R6YReports continue to be received from
Syria of murders among the Christian popu-
lation by the Druses and Moslems. Several
thousand men, women and children have al
ready been killed, and if the European pow.
ers do not soon interfere many more will no
doubt perish.
aA. The editor Of the Lock Haven Watchman
is either hard to please or very dull of com
prehension. 1t appears to US that any one
who read our article on the propriety of nom
mating Judge Hale without conferee meet
ing, in case there is no opposition, and putting
the construction on it he does, must be a
"slab" who would hardly pass inspection

s9rAmong the objections urged against
Gen. Lane, the Secession candidate for Vice

are the following:

Third-He spells dirt with two is.
Fourth-When in Mexico, he dated letter

R9-The citizens of Greensburg take a
summary way of abating nuisances in that bor-
ough. They tore down the houses of several
disreputable characters. The work of demo
lition was accomplished by some twenty in

q That tha Dourlas faction are the disunion

"That the Douglas faction are the disunlon
party IS known not only by their refusal to
sustain the Dred Scott decision and the equal
rights of all the States, but after the refusal
of Mr.. Fitzpatrick of Alabama to belong TO
their company, they have put man on their
ticket-Mr. Herschel " johnson, of Georgia
who was q red-ho Secessionist in 1881. 30
also was Mr. Pierre Soule of Louisiana, VINO
headed the delegation from that State, that
the Douglas men admitted into their Conyen-
ton al Baltimore"
Thus, by their own showing, the two
factions into which the Locotoco party Is
divided are both for disunion, and whilst
they arc all busy charging the fact upon
each other, they have almost ceased with
the transparent humbug of repeating the
charge against the Peoples and Republi-
can party.

ing of compromise electoral ticket, says

vote for him, maybe not but at all events
we want them on it. This is about the
logic used by the secedcrs. In this tami-
