A QUEER STORY FROM PENSsYLvA
NIA.-A letter to the Pittsburg CAro-
nacls, dated at Clearheld, Pa, October
s, tells doubtful story of an organ
lied band who intend to resist the
bounty tax in Pennsylvania. The
writer, who uses extremely bad Eng
hsh, says:
It is noting to see from sixty to one
hundred men drilling in the woods,
and they are all armed with Spencers
and sixteen shooters, navies and
sabres; it is their intention to burn
up all mems buildings that had any
thing do with laying on the bounty
tax. In Indiana County, on the 29th
Of September, when Governor Curtin
was in Indiana, they had a meeting
in the woods, between there and the
Rural village, and there was over two
hundred men present. They held
their meeting in the woods at night.
Its time there was something done,
for there is no telling when they will
commence their work of destruction.
They are going to tear up the Central
Railroad, to keep troops from being
sent up in this part of the country.
l heard some Of them say, at q meet
ing, that there would be a rise from
Delaware to the Rocky Mountains. T
have heard them say that they would
mako their bounties of some of the
old fellows that had their boys all at
home when the war was going on. A
man that had anything TO do with the
laying on OF the bounty tax had better
be Lighting out for some other part of
the country. The first thing they DO
will be to capture Pittsburg to get
artillery. Little did they think when
they were letting the soldiers take
their arms home with them the use
they were going to make of them. I
know Of two powder mills in the woods
in this County. They are going to
carry the thing on big scale One
half of the men in this part OF the
County belong to this band of cut
throats. They have their passwords
and bye-laws, almost as the Knights
Of the Golden Circle. J. G. ".

ANOTHER FEARFUL CATASTROPHE

ANOTHER FEARFUL CATAsrRopHE.-
We have to record In our news
columns to-day another awful steam.
boat disaster within the precincts Of
the city. The magnificent ALBANY
steamer st. John, on her arrival here
yesterday morning from the State
capital, was the scene of most terri
ble calamity, by which nine lives
were instantly sacrificed and fifteen
persons horribly wounded. As the
steamer was nearing her dock in the
North RiVer, opposite Hoboken, the
boiler exploded, blowing away several
OF the state-rooms, and either killing
or scalding all the inmates. From
the statements which have reached us
this accident was evidently the result
OF gross carelessness, the engineer,
or his assistant, as it IS asserted by
passenger, having been discovered
asleep previous to and at the time of
the explosion. We trust that the in
vestigation will be conducted with
view TO ascertain if this be so, and to
put the responsibility upon the guilty
parties. 1t will be remembered that
the Grand Jury recently indicted for
manslaughter the owners of the steam
boat Arrow. There is now another
case III which the authorities can
exercise themselves with great profit
to the community, and we hope they
Will not be deferred from doing so.

New Fenian Projects.

The Fenian Senate, composed of
some fifteen persons, has. We under
stand. been in secret session III this
city for. the past few days, cogitating
on some initiatory project in the
new revolutionary movements in the
British empire probably to be the
seizure of 6 portion of the British
American colonies in Canada or Nova
Scotia, thence to inaugurate on sub
stantial basis the insurrection, which
is not to he merely an Irish affair, but
"a British republican revolution. ex-
tending throughout the entire empire
until an English republic is estab-
hshed. When the Fenians have es-
tabGshed themselves in ono of the
British provinces, they can fit out
some Irish Alabama or Shenandoah.
or say dozen or two of them, and
commence operations against British
commerce on the high seas In these
matters, of course, cur Government is
strictly neutral It has nothing to
say upon the question, and will un-
doubtedly preserve that rigid system
OF neutrality which the Government
OF England observed during our four
years war. Indeed, we might reply
to the British Government, in the
words of Lord Russell, that these
British republicans are seeking fer
their independence. while the British
Government is seeking for empire.
We believe that there has been q
large accession Of United States officers
OF high rank and much experience in
the late war to the ranks Of the Fe-
nians-men who Will no doubt bring
wisdom, caution and discipline to the
movement. which, in the hands Of
blatant orators and selfish, inexpe-
rienced agitators, might have proved
a ffzzle. However. whatever new
projects the Fenian rcvolutionists may
have in view in British America or
elsewhere, our Government will not
trouble itself about them. We pre-
sumo that the precedent set by Eng
land during our rebellion will be a
sufficient guide Il: the action of the
Fenians. Whe events progress for
few weeks we may ask Lord Palmer
ston and Lord Russell how they like
playing the game out.

To the Members of the Legislature

Without any disparagcment Of the other
respectable gentlemen Who have teen
named for State Treasurer, tho friends of
Mr.. EDWIN J. SCOTT would respectfully
nrge his eminent fitness and qualifications
for that Office.
Lett m orphan at an early age, lie en-
tered into mercantile employment, when
fourteen years old, under ! gentleman of
this place, in the year 1917. From that
time to this.a term of fortv-eisht years
he has been exclusively devoted to such
iapors and occupations as constitute the
very best preparation for the efficient dis
charge OF the duties OF this Office.
In 1922, penniless and friendless, he went
to Lexington District; in two years was
elected Tax Collector: and served two
terms; was twice elected Clerk Of the Court
Of Common Pleas-the last time without
opposition-and during that time repre-
sented that District in the Convention of
1882; for tho last twenty-sevcn years has
been Teller and Cashier in the Commercial
Bank Of this city. Never seeking notoriety
or diversion from the strict line of his pro-
per duties, he was called, by the general
voice Of those who knew him. to seat in
the Board Of Trustees Of the Columbia
Female College, to the State Central Asso.
citation for the relief Of our soldiers, to our
City Council administration, to seat in
the present Legislature, though announced
only three days before the election.
This may seem an honorable record, but
it is one OF. which he need not. be ashamed.
Without the prestige Of ancestral honors-
with nofamily infuence-w noeducation
except as he tansht himself-he has
wrought his way up to place among the
most honorable.
Thrown ont Of his proper sphere Of en-
ployment by the results Of the war, impo-
verished as We. all are, he is in want; but he
seeks no charity from the State. Working,
all his life for his daily bread, he will do so
to the end; and: by his integrity, financia!
abilities and wiI" range of experience, will,
if elected, render the public interests full
equivalent for any compensation or cmoIu-
mensS of the Office. s*~

WASHINGTON, October 29.-In connection
with the subject matter of the alleged mis-
sion Of MI. Gushing to England, (whether
he goes or somebody else, it may be stated
as matter of belief by well-informed and
SOMA men, that the British Government
or Ministry 1is willing 10 pay the claims
based upon the Iepredations OF the rebel
pirates which were fitted ont in English
waters. The reason Of this is the fear OF
the Ministry that the tables may be turned
upon Great Britain ,at some future time.
1t were better for her to pay now even m
immense sum than to suffer hereafter not
only direct loss as We have, in vessels
and cargoes, but also as we have in the
loss for years Of profits upon the carrying
trade Of SO great portion OF our CONNER
cisi marine by its transfer to foreign hands
The great difficulty of the British Ministry
in this regard is the decision of High
Chancellor Wood, that the claims are not
founded in the law of nations by reason Of
the fact that the rebel States were de fncto
goUe,n,"e',t. But it may be contcnded by
us, that where claims heretofore have been
barred by such q fact or legal idea, that
the de .}dcto rebel or belligercnt power had
been recognized by the nations OF the
earth, or some considerable part Of them.
The rebel South had recognition from none.
Perhaps the British Ministry are willing to
be convinced by this suggestion, and thus
avoid the hazardous experiment Of offend
ing the British people by disregsrding the
apparent determination or decision Of their
Judges.

TIE WHITE MEN AND THE NEGRO
The Louisville Journal says:

@<<G 's1hAC JAcAN AMI AdC ANE0fSOs
The Louisville Journal says
With reference to the destiny of the
emancipated slaves, our conviction is,
that as long as they remain in the
midst OF the white people, as freemen,
they must labor daily for their own
livelihood, and that, finally, they must
give way before the increasing emil
grafton Of white laborers into the
South whenever the latter can answer
the need for labor in that section.
Believing, as we do, in the superiority
IN every respect, of the white man
over the negro, and holding, also,
that there is no portion of the coun-
try, between here and the Gulf, where
the white man cannot successfully till
the soil, we have felt warranted in the
prediction that the ultimate destiny
Of the negro will be similar to that Of
the Indian. who have exercised su-
premc control over the present States
Of the Union, has been driven from
his former hunting grounds to the
mos: sterile region OF the far West,
whence he must soon depart to make
room for the resistlcss tide of white
emigration.

CAVE DIsCovEREDIN IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Some excitement was occasioned last week in the
Irappe, Montgomery county, by the discovery of
a cave near the old Trappe Church. Some boys
were playing among the bushes when one of them
fell, and his leg slipped in the aperture of cave
and after examination it was found that down
about nine feet, there was a room some seven feet
square, with the floor carpeted fire place, cook
ing utansils and ladder, by which the inhabi-
tants whoever they may be, gained egress to the
outer world There were meat bones and unmis-
taxable signs of domestic life, yet one can ex-
plain the mystery. The cave is said to be re-
atty but who fashioned it, who occupies it, or
how long it has been there. no one knows.
