IT WOULD seem that Gen. Grant, while
rusticating at Kane, in company with some
friends, went trout fishing on Tuesday, Au
gust 18th, and caught one dozen of the
''speckled beauties" in violation of the act
passed by the last Legislature forbiddiDg
the taking of trout after the first day of
August. The Copperhead editors rolled up
their eyes in holy horror at this grave in
fraction of law by the President, and made
so much ado about it that Gen. Kane took
the responsibility of the deed upon himself
In a note to the NJ kean Miner he says:
"a remark of Senator Cameron's about
the Game Laws, having made the President
decline to eat venison, [ had not the heart to
tell him of our passing the act last winter
which torbids catching trout after the first.
Grant looked forward with so much pleas
ure to forgetting his Washington cares, one
day at least, fishing up Straight creek, that

81, 80 piece for the smallest trout you ever
put in your basket; thirty dollars, that is to

The President having been duly fined
although there was no intentional violation
OF law on his part-and the amount of the
penalty paid by Gen. Kane, we hope the
wrath of the Copperheads, who were so loud
in their denuncation of these same brave
men during the rebellion, will be Modified.
and that they will manage 10 iuculcatc some
of their very high respect for the enact,
ments of the Legislature into the minds Of
such men as Alderman McMullin, who not
only openly threaten their violation, but
give warning that murder and bloodshed
will ensue if they are enforced.

BELLEFoNTE is disgraced with wretched
apology for man that goes by the name of
p. Gray Meek He is intellectually and
physically infnitesimal, and possesses but
one faculty-that of lying. His little brain
is forever busy In the creation of false ma
licious, and filthy ISLANDERS. No man is too
high, none too pure-no institution too be
nihcent-no public officer too honest-to be
beyond the reach Of his prurient and vulgar
imagination. The latest emanation from
the vile brain of this professional liar and
calumnlator, is the story published in his
paper OF the Sd inst, that Geo. S. Twitch-
ell, the murderer of Mrs Hill, is yet alive,
that he is III Montana, and has pardon
from Gov. Geary signed on the 9th OF April
last. He asserts, that on the night previ-
Gus to the time fixed for Twitchelrs s exeeu-
ton the corpse Of anotterconCiict ,cas placed
IN his cell, and I5odcheH aHo,ced to 90 free,
the false Impression being coareyed that tic
corpse ,cas HedcheiFs ondthat he had con,-
n'itted suicide, and that for a price, he OBJ
timed from Gov Geary an unconditional
pardonl
No sane man would publish, much less
te!ieve, such story. Moreover. if anything
of the kind could have been done, it would
have to be with the consent and connivance
of Gen. Peter Lyle, the Democratic Sheriff
of Philadelphia, who had charge of Twitch-
ell, and whose duty it was to execute him.
| When little Meek concocted the lie he for
got to plan way for the escape of Sheriff
Lyle 1t is common fault with liars anG
perjurers 10 oyerdo the thing, and Meek ha:
overdone it. fhe story bears its refutatior
on its face. When Gov. Geary signed the
death warrant, and transmitted it to Sheriff
Lyle, his duties were ended If the Dem
ocratic Sheriff permitted his prisoner to es
cape, the responsibility must rest upon him
and if hc chooses to submit to the infamou.
accusation, he is at liberty to do So The
friends of Gov. Geary are satisfied that NJ
man will be foolish enough to believe so alb
surd story-and where its author is known
everything he says is received as prina tdci
false, until it is proven to be true by persons
or circumstances worthy of belief

his skull and he died within an hour He

injured, but none fatally. Among the more
prominent buildings damaged was the old

THE Democracy of Wisconsin have at last
discovered that they 'rejoice in the extlnc
ton of slavery" The Democracy of Penn
sylvania have not ret officially expressed an
opinion on this subject, but it is possible
that during the next twenty years they will
gradually grope their way to the advanced
point gained by their Wisconsin brethren.
Meanwhile, they are still fioundering in the
depths of State Rights and secession theo-
rics, and disposed to consider the resolu
;ions of '9S as the embodiment Of Democrat
ic wisdom.

WHILE the Packers, Woodu ards, Biglers

Convention of Wisconsin. which met last

Reso{ced, That the Democratic party OF
Wisconsin rejojces IN the extinction Of sidrery,
in the prompt and general acquiescence OF
the Southern people in the results of the
war, in every well directed effort for the en-

ASA PACKER contributed $500 to the
relief of the Avondale bereayed. Gen.
Geary gave $500, Senator Scott $50, and a
large number of other contributions have
been made. The apparent disproportion

THE great contested election case, in
Philadelphia, which for months has been
dragging its slow length along, approaches
conclusion at last From the revelations of
the evidence it seems probable that several,
at least, of the gentlemen holding contested
offices, must lose their fraudulently- gotten
berths. So far, SO good; but the meaning
of this case is deeper than the municipal
officers affected. The moral effect of this
decision will reach to the Supreme bench
The frauds 'oItich carried IN the city officers
affected equally the State election, and lcerc
nsoreorer duplicated IN the coat regions.

The last legislature, at the instance Of
the Democratic Senator from Luzerne coun
ty, supported by every Democrat present
at the time, rejected bill providing for the
inspection of mines. and comrelling whole
some regulations, which would have effectu
ally avoided such disaster as that of Av
ondale. These Democrats opposed it, sim
ply because it entai ed additional expense o.
the operators. In comparison with this ex-
pense, the safety of the men was deemed ot
no consequence. Senator Turner will have
cause to regret his unfortunate opposition,
through which the bill was defeated.

They held their Senatorial conference at

The city of Wilmington, in the State of
Delaware, is the one bright spot, in that
land of worse than Egyptian darkness.
Enterprising, prosperous and happy, it is
and has.loug been Republican city, though
the rest OF the State has been held and own
ed ty the Bayards and Saulsburys This
has been sore grievance to these copper
head proprie,ors. Accordingly they deter
mined to correctit, and their little egis-
lature last winter so re districted and chang
ed the limits of the city, as to make it GER
tain to give Democratic majority. They
thought they had a sure thing of it, and
were eagerly anticipating their victory, and
preparing to rejoice oyer the downfall of the
only Republican stronghold in their little
state. But there's many slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip. The election to their ut
ter amazement and chagrin, resulted in
majority of nifty for the Republican candi-
date for Mayor They hadn' counted close
enough, and all their scheming proved a
failure. The roosters dropped their plumes,
the Saulsburys got drunk as usual, and the
Bayar3s skunk off home like whipped span
iels Rith their tails between their legs.

OBITUARY.
SECRETARY RAwLINs.

In our last we announced briefly the death
of Gen. John A. Rawlns. Secretary OF W ar,
on Monday, Sept. 9th, at 4. IL T. NJ, from
hemorrhage OF the lungs, superinduced by
by severe cold contracted in 1868, while
in the army.
He was lawyer by profession, and a res
ident OF Gaena, where, prlor to the war, he
was bitter Democrat, and welded consld-
cradle influence in the councils of his party.
A few days after the firing upon Fort Sump-
ter, large meeting was held in Galena, OF
which Gen. Grant, then only private citl-
zen, was the president. Rawlins was called
upon to speak He advanced and made a
speech lasting half an hour, and ending
with these words:
Il have been Democrat all my life; but
tals Is no longer question or politics. II
Is Simply country or no couI try. L have IA
vored every honorable COMPROMISED but the
day of compromise has passed. Only one
course is left US We will stand by the flag
OF our country, and appeal TO the God of
battles
When Grant went into the service, he
procured Rawlins the appointment of As
sis;ant Adjutant General, with the rank Of
captain, and from the 18th Of September,
1861, to the 4th of March. 1869, when he
was commissioned and confirmed Secretary
of War, he was constantly by the side of
Grant, following him through all his cam
paigns and being present with him at the
battle of Belmont, Fort Henery, Fort Don
elson, Shiloh, Corinth, Iuka, the Tallahach-
lie expedition to Oxford, Mississippi, Port
Gibson, Raymond, jackson, Champion :
Hill, Big Black, the crowning victory OF
| Nicksburg, Chattanooga, the Wil1 erness,
North Anna, paumunkey, Toloobatomoy
| Cold Harbor, and the front of Petersburg
and Richmond. General Grant was soon
led to repose the most unlimited confidence
in his judgment and executive abilities, and
in November, 1862, appointed him to the
position of his chief OF staff, which he re
taiued until his induction into the Office ot
Secretary of War.
The circumstances attending his deatl
were of the most distressing character II
his last hours he asked repeatedly for tn,
President, whose departure from Saratoga
had been delayed by the contradictory nature
of the dispatches preceding the one whicl
at last announced that his faithful friend
and comrade in arms was beyond the reacl
of human skill. His first wife, by WHOM
he had two daughters, both still living, dice
in the summer Of 1861, just as he was abou
entering upon his military career Durin,
the Vicsburg campaign he made the ac
quaintance of Miss Hurlbut, his secon,
: wife, who became 4 mother scarcely weel
before his death. In his last moments h
uttered these touching words my chief re
gret in dying so soon is that | leave m
family paupers. But they have reache,
the hearts Of the whole people, aud larg
amounts have everywhere been subscribe
for the widow and her children.
His funeral, which took place on Thurs
} day, was the largest end most imposing sine
that of President Lincoln.
