Republican RepudiatiOn

The RepubIican'papcrs have had
a good deal to say about the s'rc-
puuiat,on' scheme Of Mr.. Pcndleton.
The Chicago Convention inserted l.
resolution against reputation in its
platform, but the party leaders lave
alread; begun to show that their
promises were like the seals on their
champa gnc bottlcs--made to tc
broken
The Republican House, by Il
large Republican majority, has
passed resolution instructing tho
Committee Of Ways and Mtans to
bring in Il bill to tax the Interest
receivable op public bolls, at least
ten per cent. In commenting upcn
this action Of the House, the New
Yor: Times remarks that Butler
epcns the campaign for Crant ''by
repudiating one of the strongest
plauks of the Republican platform ~
T".c Times sees that this yields the
whole question.
Nothing so bad as this, in point
Of principle, can be urged against
Mr.. Pendleton $ proposition. He,
at least, proposes to pay, althousis
in the process Of laying, it may
happen that the medium of payment
may dcprcciatc.
Under the policy broached by III.
Republican House, the public credi-
tor is indeed paid, but as soon as
hc gets the money tax-cel'ector is
put On his track to reclaim ten
cents on the dollar,--to begin with
-a*d by-and by, with as good
reason, twenty and fifty per ceut,
may be taken. ~
The public faith pledged to the
pnbic creditor, it is safe to say,
will find just as faithful guardians in
the Radical leaders as the Uaioa
whica they pretended to uphold by
war, but which they disrupted
when peace returned, or as the
Constitution which was their war
cry when it's friends were to be ral-
lied to the field, but ,<hich, when
the contest was over they began
daily to violate and dishonor
The plan oflooking one way and
rowing another was tried with very
good success in the fall of 1865,
when Johnson's policy was eulogized
by the Radicals to.get votes. but
rcpudiated the first day of their
meeting in Congress. This year
the ticket will fail. Utica Oh.

Fall of a Sugar Refinery at Baltimore
Loss $4,000.

From the Baltimore Commercial, Jan. Is.
A fearful and terrible accident took place
in this city on Monday night, at half past
nine clock, by which two men We're badly
injured, and third brought to a horrid
and terri Die death. The accident occurred
at the Maryland Sugar Refinery, on Dun
gan's wharf, east side of Fredrlck street
dock At the above mentioned time the
seventh floor OF the central building, on
which was placed two large iron tanks,
each weighing three tons, and capable of
containing 1000 gallons of syrup, suddenly
sprung, causing the joists TO fail out Of the
rccesses of the west wall. Olc-half Of
this floor, with the heavy tanks, was pre-
cipitated on the sixth, aud then successive
ly on the other floors, carrying with it the
clarifying vessels, twenty four in number,
with the necessary appliances, until it
reached the second story, where 1t rested.
An unfortunate man, named Casper Rusk,
was on the upper floor, and with it
was carried below, where he was COM
pletely covered by the wreck. Every eff,
fort was made to extricate him, but In
vain. He could converse with those above
him. and water and spirits We're conveyed
TO him by means OF a small bottle let down
through the interstices OF the wreck. In
reply to inquiries he said that his feet were
badly smashed, and that lie thought he
was bleeding badly. At six O'Clock next
yesterday morning he ceased to speak, md it
is supposed death came to him at that
hour to relieve his sufferings. His position
was most agon'zing one,, and his con-
fnement in his horrid place Of imprison-
ment was hopeless for the greatest industry
could not have relieved him for many, very
many hours His supplications, made in
vain, for relief, were most beartrendlng
He realized all the horrors Of his position,
and his voice each time he spoke grew
weaker and weaker until it faded away into
a whisper, aud then came the silence of
the tomb. Philip Herner and Chas. Wis
ner were also in the building at the time,
and were both badly though not dangerous
ly scalded. They were taken to their
homes and attended to. Within the last
year the refinery had been enlarged 10y the
erection of a new building, with additional
machinery, introducing all he modern i'm
prcvements One account states that the
work was done in an aile and solid manner;
another states that the carpenter is to
blame, as the joists did not penetrate the
walls beyond a depth Of three inches.
Mcssrs f. B. Bruno & Co., agents for the
refinery, summond committee of experts
TO examine into the cause Of the disas er.
The loss by this accident will reach more
than So, 900.

and horses were abandoned, no further clue
of the party could be found.
Tie safe that was not opened contained a
much larger amount than that which they
carried off.
Yesterday morning a reward Of $4,000
was offered for the arrest of the robbers
and return OF the money, and later in the
day it was increased to $4,000. About
two clock dispatch was received by Mr..
Bcnninghoff, from Oil City, stating that
three men had been arrested on suspicion
of being implicated in the robbery. Mr..
3. and Sheriff Hull left Petroleum Centre
for Oil City, on the train that leaves the
former place at 3:25 p. m.. for the purpose
of seeing if the men who were arrested
could be identified.

The Ay erage Irish Peasant.

Just remember for a moment, what the
position of an average Irish tenant in the
South now is. He holds. perhaps, fifteen
acres Of land, out of which he can extract
by extreme industry and endurable living.
At any moment, for any reason or no rea
son, for the owners pleasure, or the own
cr's poverty, or the mlddleman' 5 caprice,
he may be elected, that is, turned out of
work and out of his home az once, a late
worse than that of Warwick hire iron
worker whose forge has been blown out.
Where is he to to go? There are no man
nfacturers, hired labor on the fields is still
wretchedIy cheap, the cities are warming
with the unemployed. lie must either
emigrate without money. or seek his for
tune in England, where lie knows no trade
or sink at once in is own vii age from an IN
dependent peasant into a half paid labor
er, a social fall at least as great to him as
to nIost independent uiidd!e-c class man.
Moreover the very improvements he has
himself effected, the cabin, the barn, the
trench, the paling, are not his, but pass
away 10 the next possessor. Who can
wonder that the Irish peasant, with such
risk perpctually before him, becomes
a disconteLtcd and suspicious man that he
regards his landlord as the arbiter OF his
fate that he thinks the tenant who sue
ceeds him has broken social compact, and
in his rage and disappointment, shoots or
threatens his, it may be quite innocent ri
val, whose anxiety for land has made him
self pauper wa1derer without home !?
Better, he thinks, pay anything better
be mortgagcd up to the lips, better submit
to any ,acliiice-t,an encounter such 4 des-
tiny. Make the rent q quit-rent, even
though at an increase Of five per cent. and
he is free at least Of that prospect-hable
to any fate except the one which in its
complication of miseries SO often crushcs
the Christianity out of him.

Military Activity in Europe.

Z PaRis, Jan. "a The Semi official La
Patrie, in an editorial. article observes
that Russia is the only Power not now in
harmony with the rest of Europe. Efforts
Of this character to traoqulize the public
mind and give assurance of prolonged
peace, are singularly anti.gorastis; from
the fact that every Power in Europe is act.
lively engaged in arming, as i. for an antic
ipated war. 1t is said that new French
loan, to the amount of seve hundred and
fifty million francs, will surely be put ut,on
the market soon.
ST PETERSBURG, Jan. "a.
The Bo.,zmen zehung published here,
calls attention editorially to the fact that
the new French army bill materially in
creases the power Of Napoleon, and is sure
to prompt him to assume a higher stand
and bolder tone in regard 10 European
politics.

Financial Excitement in Boston-A
Bank Robbery of $4,000 by the
Cashier.

- Boston, Dec. q.
Some excitement existed to day in finan-
cial circles, on account of a report that the
cashier and receiving teller of the Shawmut
Bank tell short $50,0 900. The following are
sald to be the facts as far as known: Mr..
Henry, the cashier, has been absent from
the city w'ek, and his present where
abOuts are unknown. The fraud in the ac.
cougt of the receiving teller was discovered
OF Monday. Two or three days previous
Mr.. Henry said he was obliged to visit
Portsmouth for tAe purpose of settling
some business connected with his yife's
property. She resides id this city. 1t is
supposed that they stepped across the bor-
der INTO Canada, or went to Europc by
steamship. The bank has capital of
$50, 600. with surplus of $3.50, 600, SO
the defalcation will not effect the standing
ct the in,tiution in the least.

TUE TAX on WnISKY.-A Washington
telegram from a reliable correspondent,
dated Wednesday night, says:
Although the committee on ways and
means has not yet determined whether it
will recommend reduction of the tax on
distilled spirits or not, there is reason to
believe that the committee will report In
favor of fixing the tax at about so cents
per gallon. There appears to be but one
opinion, ON the subject, in all the memorials
thar come here from commercial communl-
ties, aud there does not appear to be any
strong opposition to the general proposition
tC reduce the tax, though there is slight
variance in opinions as to the sums that
shallibe..a adopted, from 20 cents to 81 pei
gallon. There is scarcely doubt that the
tax will be fixed at 50 or 60 cents.

How the Dutchman's Geese Flew Away
and Never Returned.

There goes the old Dutchman who had
the dangerous geese - exclaimed-a friend
in the country the other day, calling our
attention to Dutchman of the old school,
who was walking slowly along the road.
We asked for an explanation. ga. /.
. ''Why, when the Yankees first began. to
settle here. he was joined by slab b-sided
specimen of EN-, as lie was picking up the
quilts his goose had dropped in their chat
tcring morning waddles, by the edge of an
oblong pond by the roadside. Presently
one OF the geese stretched out his long
neck at the Yankee who started and ran
as if mad dog was at his heels.
Il told him, said the old Dptchman,
''not to be ayraid dat the geese wouldi' t
hurt um any bat the geese did run after
him, dough, clear over .he hill, and none of
um wouldn's give um no rest any more;
whenever he came along the street, | be-
lieye deye had spite agin the Yankees.
Mein gracious it's curious dough, dat de
geese always went away, and didn't come
back any more.
The secret Of that was, that the Yankee,
who was SO afraid Of the Dutchman $
geese, had thrown out kernels OF corn,
among which was one with fish hook at
tached Once swallowed, the angry goose
was in tow Of the flying fugitive.
