Death of John 5. Rarey. the
EHOFSe-tamer,

The celebrated hOrse-tamer, John s. Ra-
rey, died suddenly at Cleveland, Ohio, on
the 4th inst
Last December he had a stroke of para
lysis, since which time he had been treat
ed by several prominent physicians. On
Thursday, at two p. M, he left the Wad-
dell House for walk, but soon returned,
complaining of a pain in the head. After
being seated a few minutes he exclaimed.
am dying" and in about an hour he
expired.
Mr.. Rarey was native of Franklin
county, Ohio, where he was born in 1928.
He first publicly developed his system for
tanning, or rather training horses in 1855,
but from early childhood had been a stu
dent of what is now known as - Rarey's
system" In 1856 he visited Texas. and
studied for year or two the habits of the
animals of that State, meeting with great
success in tanning the wild horses of that
wild region. On his return from Texas
he gave his first public exhibition at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, since which time he has
almost constantly been before the public.
In the course of his career he was consult
ed by the chief cavalry officers of England
and this country, and Major General Hal
leck employed him in 1863 to inspect and
report upon the condition of the horses of
the army of the Potomac, which he did
with considerable discretion.
His remains were taken for burial to
GrOveport, Ohio, where he resided on a
fine stock farm which he owned near that
place

The New Orleans Massacre

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Tribune has
received to-day special despatch from
New Orleans containing the report of the
military commission to investigate the
riots in that city. The report is signed
by Gems Mower, Quincy, Gregg and
Baldey. 1t gives a full synopsis of the
evidence, comprising the dispatches of
Gen. Sheridan.
The commission gives the opinion that
there was preconcerted plan among the
rebel associations for the purpose of at
tacking the convention if there was any
plausible preteXt, and but for the declara-
ton of martial-law and the presence of
the troops, fire and blOodshed would have
ragged throughout the night in all the
negro quarters of the city, and the lives
and property of Unionists and Northern
men would have been at the mercy of the
mob. Three-fourths of the mob were re-
bel soldiers.
The board review the conduct of Mayor
Monroe, and believe his action precipita-
ted the consequences that ensued from
his own acts. The party in power in
New Orleans with Mayor Monroe, the
board believe, if allowed to have their
own way, without punishment for past
offences, will soon render that city place
of Insecurity for Northern lives and prop
erty.

Esa BROKEN Week CurabIer

a London Letter in the Chicago Even
ing Journal has the following:
The old saying that there is no cure for
a broken neck has just been practically
disproved by surgeon at Greenock. He
was called to see a young girl who had
just fallen distance of eighteen feet, and
thoroughly dislocated the neck. When
he reached her the face was nearly revers-
ed, and looking over the back. He prompt
ly supported the back with the left knee,
took grasp of the head, and began to
pull gradually and pretty strong, where
upon the girls eyes opened and there was
an effort at breathing. Increasing the
pressure, the parts suddenly came to their
natural position, and after a minute or
two regular breathing was established
Close attention was afterward paid to the
case, and after much fever and occasional
c0nvulsions, the child recovered, and is
now as we'll as ever. | believe there is
not another similar case on record. Of
course, much time must not elapse be-
tween the injury and the treatment.

Death of j. porter Brown.

The sad intelligence, says the Cham
bersburg Repository, has reached this
place of the death of J. Porter Brown,
Esq. In company with a number of
young men, he was en- route to Montana
Territory. On the 10th of July last,
while in camp on Tongere river, the In
dians made an attack upon them with
the intention of driving off their stock.
Mr. Brown was some distance from camp
at the time, fishing, and by swimming
the river succeeded with great difficulty
in joining his comrades. After the attack
was over, he started back to recover his
coat, left at the river bank, and had not
proceeded more than three hundred yards
in that direction, when bullet from an
unseen foe pierced his brain. He was
buried by the side of the trail, and his
companions, after performing this last
sad duty, proceeded with heavy hearts
towards their destination. Mr.. Brown
was the son of Ex-Sheriff Brown.

Death of q Lady at the Age of One
Hundred and Five Yeors.-The Cham
bersburg Repository says:
Mrs. Mary Andrews died at Strasburg,
this county, on the 22d ult., at the ad-
vanced age of los years. With what re-
spect and awe should poor humanity look
upon such a duration of life Born two
years before the end of the French and
Indian war, four years before the famous
stamp act was passed, fifteen years before
the declaration of Independence. thirty
eight years before the death of Washing
ton, fifty-one years before the war of 1872
one hundred years old at the outbreak of
the Southern rebellion. What a long.

The heaviest vote heretofore polled in
Granville shows that some 80 or 40 votes
were colonized there for this election
In Derry it is estimated that from 80 to
10 were surreptitiously introduced, while
in Lewistown the colonized and pauchas-
ed material amounted to at least 80. In
Oliverand McVeytOwn from 20 to 80 were
added. A party that resorts tosuch means
to obtain political ascendancy cannot fail
sooner or later, to meet with stern re-
buke at the hands of the taxpayers who,
in the end, will foot some of the bills. 1t
must also be source of much gratifica-
ton to a highDeio0led and honorable man
to know that he holds office through ma
jOrity composed of paupers, deserters,
draft skedaddlers, and imported votes.
Our information from other points is
that Mr.. Morrell is elected to Congress bv
from 800 to 1000 majority; and that Brown
and Wharton are elected to the Legisla-
ture. The State may be in doubt on Gov
ernOr, though we think Gen. Geary is
elected

THE ELECTION.

That one of the most stupendOus cleo
ton frauds ever attempted in this county
was perpetrated yesterday was abundant
ly evident long before the polls closed
Derry and Granville townships both
poured forth hordes of colOnized UoterS,
while bribery was so openly practlsed III
the streets and alleys that even conceal
ment was not deemed necessary. Ihlngs
in the shape of men were hanging around
the master spirits of this corruptlng IN
fiuence. patiently waiting TO see how
much they could get for debasing them
selves to a degradation so low that it must
have brought a blush of shame to every
man who regarded the purity of elections,
to see such illegal means triumph. Sun
dry deserters were cOlonized as recon-
mended in districts where the board al
lowed them to vOte-the Poor House
sent forth its paupers as voters-men who
next Sunday will be found sniveling over
prayers and devotional exercises in
churches, showed their cloven feet by
producing and vouching for strangers
whom they had secretly and temporarily
employed for the express purpose of VOt-
ing, and thus violated law as imperative
as that which says, thou shalt not steal
and company works were used as though
they had been created for the express pur-
pose of Overslaughing the legal Uoters of
this county. 1t remains to be seen how
ever whether they have not for once over
reached themselves, and become amena-
BILE to what the law defines to be a serious
offence
We subjoin the returns from Lewistown
district, which furnish curious commen-
tary on the purity of suffrage and freedom
of elections:

During the past few years the people OF
this country have been gradually merg-
ing into the dangerous practice of disre-,
garding important laws, which may yet
lead TO serious results. The worst feature
in this is that demagogues have intro
duced this practice into politics, and in
some parts of the State even judges, dis
trict attorneys, and others engaged in see
ing the laws faithfully executed, have un-
dertaken to nullify and set at nOught leg
islativc enactments by declaring them to
be unconstitutional and thus induced
men on the ground of party alone to con
strue laws for the benefit of party. Until
within the last few years, election boards
as a general thing endeavOred to construe
those laws according to their true intent
and meaning, and no one was so regard
less Of his oath as to attempt to nullify
any clause on the ground of its being un-
constitutional, Differences of opinion of
course existed, and one board admitted
voters which another did not, but those
differences never arose from actual disre-
gard of law, but rather from ignorance.
This however is fast changing, and we
now daily hear men discussing the con-
stitutionaIity of legislation as if we had
no Supreme Court to decide what is or
what is not law. For such men to under
take to say that State law disfranchis-
ing deserters is unconstitutional, and act
upon that assertion, is setting aside the
whole law, for they might with equal
propriety decide that the ten days resi-
dence, the payment of a tax, and other
qualifications, are the same. The decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the congress
sional case does not affect the presentIaw
because the latter supplies new State
qualification which, until decided by the
Supreme Court, Is LAW.
Where all this will end it is difficult to
tell; but it is not difficult to foresee that
where judicial officer has melted man
to violate law, he is totally unfit to try
him for an offence to which he is himself
a Tdrticeps crin1inis. Besides, it has a
tendency to make our elections subservi-
ent to class of men wanting the first
principle of a good citizen, patriotism.

BeA- Some years ago the democracy"
started story that r. L. Johnston, then
as now, copperhead candidate for Con-
gress, had deserted the Presbyterian
church and became Roman Catholic
During the late campaign this was bruit-
Ell about by few persons, and forthwith
an emissary was sent to Cambria county
to make known to the Catholics there
that the republican party was electioneer-
ing against Johnston on that ground =
The republican party did no such thing
We knew that it was used two years ago
by the democracy, yet there is not a re-
publican paper in the district which gave
the slightest hint that Johnston belonged
to that church, which we believe is the
fact.
