The proceedings of the so-called South
ern Loyalists" Convention at Philadelphia
has been characterized by much incorporate
and repulsive language, indicative of unscru-
pulous designs and tending to revolutionary
action. The temper OF the address which Il
adopted, evinced the promptings of bad
and dangerous spirit. But nothing that has
occurred at that gathering has equalled in
deliberate and INSCRIPTIONS spirit of malice
the manifestation which was made Yesterday,
and which has been telegraphed all over the
country.
The burning Of the Loyal League Club
House in Philadelphia, was the pretext
which was seized upon for this purpose. A
certain Reverend Mr.. Newman, Of Kentucky,
who, 1t will be remembered, deliberately
prayed God to take away the life of the
President, offered resolution of thanks to
the Union League Club of Philadelphia for
its hospitality and kindness. He then re-
ferred to the burning Of the Club House as
an incendiary act, and reminded the Con
vention that the President had declared that
the nation wanted no League but the Con.
stitution," and said: d" On he strength of that
hint tis calamity had followed, ,ohetker or
not NTH the Presidents knowledge or con-
sent he did not pretend to say. lie had no
doubt, however, that such t0as the sugqestion
of the Presidents mind"

ONE Of our former citizens has recently
left these parts in company Of one hun
bred, on pilgrimage to Joppa in the Holy
Land, for the purpose of settling in Jerusa-
lem and await the second coming Of Christ.
The company have taken out frame house
and barn for each family, and stocked them
selves up with groceries, paints and oil, agri-
cultural implements, dry goods, and in fact
everything which they may need for the pres
ent, in any event. should the event which
they anticipate be realized, in short time
they may be subjected to severe loss. In
connection with this, we remember some
twenty years since, an erratic carpenter, who
took il in his head to go to the same destina-
ton, and for that purpose hired a horse and
Wagon, and starting in violent snow storm,
brought up in common pasture. We trust
this expedition will fare better and get fur
ther.-Ne,Oburypot (4hass.) Herald.

CoAL.-The Philadelphia market for An
thracite rules very dull, and cargo rates are
mostly nominal and shade lower. The re-
ceipts from the mines continue largely in
excess Of the corresponding time last year,
and such is the accumulation Of stocks and
the lack Of accommodations for forage, that
even if mining operations were now sus-
pended the downward tendency in values
could hardly be arrested. TO prevent such
q stoppage, and offset the decline in prices
at shipping points, the Reading Railroad and
Schuylkil Navigation companies have de-.
cided not to advance their tolls till October.
Eastern dealers and consigners are generally
holding off for lower rates, and are enabled
to dose from the fact that they bought largely
in July and August, and some Of them have
their full winter supplies.

The radicals have been talking awful big
stories about their gains in Vermont, when
the fact is that the gains are oil on the other
side. Hear what the Burlington (Vt.) Sen
tinel says:
,"The Democratic gains ore very large,
though the Republicans have made large,
though comparatively much less gains Op
the Congressional ballot the conservative
men everywhere have done their work no.
bly,, and thrown very heavy vote for their
own candidate, Waldo Brigham. The vote
in this city alone for Brigham was 1862, q
plurality OF 1913 over Baxter, and only rs
less than the vote for Romeo Ii. Hoyt. The
reports through the State are as yet meagre.
The radical State ticket is, of course, re-
elected entire. Conservative men, however,
everywhere, who have heretofore acted with
the radicals Of the Republican party, are re-
garding with favor the Philadelphia plat
form, and are cordially indorsing the party
and the principles Of the grand National
Union Convention recently held in that city.
The Democratic gain in this city over the
vote Of last year is over 800 per cent, while
the radical gain is little over 200 per cent. "

Grotesqucly Horrible Incident

A correspondent Of the Springfield Repub-
licdn, writing from San Francisco, furnishes
the following incident, so horrible in its de-
tails, that the pen Of Hawthorne might
weave it into romance:
Complaint was made to the health officer
that the occupant of handsome residence
in one of our fashionable quarters was Great
ing nuisance by keeping the corpse Of his
wife in the building to the great discomfort
and i'll health Of the neighborhood. 1t ap-
pears that the wife Of the person complained
Of, died about two years ago, when the hus-
band purchased a metallic coffin, and placed
the corpse in one of the rooms Of his resi-
dence. 1t was alledged more particularly
that the day previous to the complaint he
had taken the corpse from its coffin and
washed it with the garden hose, afterwards
replacing it in the coffin, where, at the time
of the complaint, it still remained. Sincere
as was this evidence Of undying and unalter-
able affection, the spectacle of that stricken
and nconsolable widowor playing the garden
hose upon the decomposed remains Of his
former partner seems to have been to much
for his neighbors The health officer thought
so too, and the nuisance was abated. The
whole picture with its terrible mingling of
the CHASTITY md ludicrous, requires no com
ment"

The Richmond (Missouri) Conseroator
gives additional particulars Of the distressing
affair that took place in Ray county, Mis-.
souri,, on the goth ult Two little boys, sons
Of Mr.. Flournoy aged respectively eleven
and thirteen, obtained possession Of their
fathers revolver, with the view Of shooting
partridges. Having proceeded as far as the
pasture fence, according to the statement of
the younger, now living,) the elder fred and
killed q partridge. As they were crossing
younger, who returned it and followed IL MP
with blow Of the fist, upon which his brother
fred on him twice, inficting severe wound
in the left hip, and flesh wound in the fore
head. He then handed the pistol TO his
brother telling him to kill him. He took
the pistol and fred twice, one bullet taking
effect in the right hip, the other in the head,
entering mmediately above the right ear,
and touching the brain. He fell senseless,
and remained unconscious until his death,
two hours later. !,
The younger then started for the residence
Of Mr.. l.. Cox, near by, where his father was
confined by sickness. His cries attracted
Mr.. Cox, who met him and carried him to
his house, and caused the body of the elder
brother also to be carried thither. On being
Intercepted, the younger stated that the
wounds had been received at the hands Of
negro, who fred first on his brother, then on
himself, and disappeared in the woods. The
alarm was spread, and quite numerous
body Of the indignant citizens appeared on
the scene, ready to chase the murderer to
the very death. The adjacent country tim
Der and prairie was diligently secured, until
party passing over the scene Of the tragedy
discovered the pistol, which had been thrown
few feet aside into the weeds. Five loads
had been discharged and two remained. This
shed light on the mystery The chase was
ended and the neighbors dispersed. The
younger, who is likely to recover, has since
given substantially the same account.

THE.Nev York Tribune praises the recent
speech Of Thsddeus Stevens. Mr.. Stevens a..
sumed In the last session the position Of leader Of
the House. He did not carry all the points he de-
sired; but he had the Tribnnss ardent support for
them; and II Is evident that the Tribune means he
shall be the Republican leader in the next session.
It says OF him:
"The speech Of Mr.. Stevens at Bedford, Pa,
the first he has made In this canvass has this spe-
ca importance, that 1t announces his intention to
return, in the next Congress, to the policy which
at the late session he reluctantly sacrificed for the
sake Of obtaining some practical measures"
OF this policy the Tribune admiringly says:
1--WE expected no less Of Mr.. Stevens than
that he would renew, at the next session. his bold
and radical policy Of restoration. He does not
give up his principles. The Janitorial status of
the South, the right of oonfsoafioa, and Impartial
outrage, the elements Of his creed, and he de-
clares that popular or unpopular, shall stand By
II till am relieved Of the improbable labor Of
earth Psnnsylvsnis has reason to DO proud Of
this man." DO.
That Is. to say, the Tribune and Mr.. Stevens
mean, II they can, to force upon the Republican
party this policy; and thus they will keep the
southern States out make them provinces, and keep
the whole country in hot water for series Of years
for Mr.. Stevens, II will be seen, names some new
conditions of admission.
