tial election is fact which the Democratic
party recognizes only on eompulsion, while
Chief Justice Chase regards it with more
than complacency, with more than salts
faction, with the JOY which attends the full
6llment Of long-cherished hope. What
he has 80 ardently desired, the Democratic
party has strenuously resisted and indig-
nsutly denounced. The Democratic party
may be unable to revoke what has been
done, but they are certainly not going to
indorse it, as they would virtually
do by nominating man who
makes 1t the corner stone Of his
political creed. There is a great difference
between submitting to the inevitable from
sheer inability TO Withstand it, and placing
ourselves under Che guidance Of man who
has aided in bringing the evil upon Us. We
should be glad to see Chief Justice Chase
follow Mr.. Blair and Senator DOolittle into
the Democrsticparty; but as regards negro
suffrage az blessing instead Of an atrocions
though perhaps irretrievable blunder, we
do not see how he and the Democratic party
can have any bond Of fellowship. We did
not object 10 q parley; but it was certain
from the beginning that the U'onntaih
would not 20 10 Mahomet, and II appears
that Mahomet will not come TO the noun
tain which, sleadfasi as the Chief Justice
| is. would have been much the easiel
| miracle.

CnbIe DIspatehen.

LONDON, June lin the House Of
Commons on Tuesday night, debate took
place on the petition of the people of Nova
Scotia against the Canadian act.
Mr.. Bright moved that Commissioner
be appointed TO inquire into the causes of
discomfort in Nova Scotia, in regard to the
act of confederation. Mr.. Bright supported
his motion with a speech, in which be de-
clared that investigation into this matter
could not be otherwise than advantageous.
Ifrefused the people of Nova Scotia would
feel that they were victims Of a policy with
which they did not sympalhize; such re-
fusal would increase hostility to Canada,
and estrange them from England and give
them peaceful stimulus to their sympathy
to the people of Nova Scotia, and the gen.
erosity of the people of the United States
demand this inquiry. The Minister would
be to blame should any untoWard event re-
suit from his refusal to grant this demand.
Mr.. w. E. Baxter seconded the motion
made by Mr.. Bright
Right Hon. Badderly, under Secretary
Of the Colonial Department, replied for
the government. He acknowledged that
discomfort prevailed in the province Of No
va Scotia. He took occasion to deny the
correctness of a statement made by Mr..
Bright, in q speech made on the 18th Of
May, to the effect that the passage Of the
Canadian Union Act in Parliament was
not 6nality, but morally preliminary TO its
act of legislation of each province concur
ring in disappointment. This commission
ofinquiry would be great evil, and be con-
sidered an insult by the dominion of Can
ada. He informed the House that steps
had been taken by the government to allay
the present feeling ia the North American
provinces. He said this feeling was not 90
bitter as represented, for the acts Of
the Canadian Parliament had since been
approved by Nova Scotia, and whatever
discomfort still existed would probably dis
appear, as the people of that provinces
had no reason to apprehend an increase oI
taxation or expenditures.
After further discussion, a division Of the
House took place on Mr.. Brighfs motion,
and resulted 81 to IS3.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT - THREE
CHILDREN RURNED TO DEATH

On Thursday last, terrible accident oc-
CURED in East Bradford township, whereby
three children were burned to death by ke-
rosene oil. They were the children of
Charles Anderson tenant under Charles
Walton, who resides on the farm of Mr..
Isaac G. Darlington. Both father and
mother were absent at some neighbor's
working, and the children had been left at
home in charge Of the house. The oldest
was girl about eleven years of age, boy
about seven, and an infant about two years
old, and another small child, a grandchild
of Mr.. Anderson. About one o'clock the
little girl proceeded to build fire in the
stove, to cook some dinner. There was
something over half pint Of kerosene oil
in the house, in a glass bottle. 1t appears
thai they had poured this oil into a tin can,
and from thence attempted to pour it on the
fire, when the can exploded, throwing its
contents over the clothing of three of the
children, setting them on fire. They i'm
mediately ran out Of the house, and from
thence to the house of a neighbor named
Lee, which was but a short distance off
screaming in the most agonizing manner
A young woman there threw some water
over them, put by this time their clothing
had been very nearly all burned of, and
the unfortunate little creatures presented
a most pitiable sight The neighbors soon
collected and administered to the wants Of
the little sufferers, but without avail. Theil
bodies were fearfully burned-many parts
of them being entirely raw. They had alsC
inhaled the flames, burning their lungs
thus rendering recovery impossible. The
boy died in about three hours thereafter
the girl in FIVE, and the infant in about six
hours. The grandchild was seated in thu
door, and escaped injury. The can con
tanning the oil was blown to atoms, pro
dueing a report that was heard for con
siderable distance Westehester (Pd.) Re

OLD WHIGGERY AND MILITARY
CANDIDATES.

A Radical cadidate for Congress in this
district claims as a qualification for the
position, that he has tie SAVIOR of old line
Whiggery about him Henry Clay was
the chief of old line Wings for twenty,
FIVE years. His opinion Of military can
didates for the Presidency was first ans
nounced in his powerful and eloquent
speech in the House Of Representatives
AGAINST General Jackson in 1927. 1t
was leading article Of his creed In
SAT, he said Of Gen Taylor's nominal
ton TO the Presidency.
"If General Taylor, who is absolutely
without any experience whatever in civil
administration, shall be elected, | think we
may bid adieu to the election ever again Of
| any man to the Office of Chief Magistrate
who is not taken from she army. Both
parties will stand committed to the choice
Of military men. Each in future will seek
! to bring him forward who will be most
likely to secure the public suffrage. Mill
tary chieftan will succeed military chief
tain, until at last one will oyerreach his
predecessor, who will put an end to our
liberties, and establish a throne of military
despotism."
Admittingssthat Mr.. Clay was in error
in opposing Gen. jackson, who had and
displayed eminent business qualifca-
tons; and admitting on the other hand
that the Wing party committed itself tC
military candidates in the persons o.
| Generals Harrison, Taylor and Scott
the principle announced by Mr. Clay i.
correct The Presidency of republic
should not be entrusted to military mel
with no civil ability and experience
Grant is the most striking Illustration o
this kind ever yet offered to the Ameri
can people His abilities of any sort ar,
meagre OF civil qualification he ha
none whatever. His military success wa
not due to capacity, and the service il
arms that gives him the prominence h,
enjoys, was in civil war

THERE has been great clamor against
the President beoause, as is alleged, he
failed to remove Incompetent or dishon-
est revenue officers This matter has
been efectually set at rest. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes on the 18th inst as fol,
lows: ~
Secretary Mccullough has again returned
the resignation of Mr.. Rollins, with let
ter which has been sent to the press of the
country tonight. The paragraph in which
he states that the President had acted
promptly in all cases where the recon-
mendations for removal were accompanied
with evidence Of incompetency or miscon-
duct is causing much comment, as the gen.
eral understanding has been exactly the
reverse for over a year past.

while the revenue is declining in every

enormously the weight of the debt has
