because of insufficient means of

similar laws are not enacted for the
protection of miners. The number
of horrible accidents which have
occurred in mines having only one

America, should be lasting warn

of murder to ask men to go down

NEVER in the history Of politics
and nations did pretended sane men
exhibit such destitution Of reason
and mass of meanness, as the leaders
of the so-called Democratic party in
regard to the national debt. Their
talk, about the taxation of the
bonds and bondholders is all consul
mate fooIery. The Government
sold it's bonds with the express
understanding that they 81 gould be
free from taxation. Ulon princi-
Piles Of simple honesty, it is an utter
impossibility for the Government to
tax its existing bonds When the
Government is able, it can pay off
its old debts and after that, if its
policy is to be to tax its bonds in
future, it, the Government, should
issue them with that understanding
so that the purchasers may govern
themselves accordingly.
For government to sell it's
bonds with the positive promise
that they shall be exempted from
taxation, and after they are sold, to
turn round and tax them, would,
in our humble opinion, be crime
for which justice knows no pardon.

Fire at Pennsylvania Coal Mine.
Two Hundred Miners Confined
in the Pit.

I6HED.
Eea IT. Rending Scenes Around the
Spot.

SCRANTON, PA, September g.
Great excitement here in conse-
quence of the burning of a coal
heaker at Avondale Mine, Plymouth,
about 20 miles south of this city.
There were 200 men and boysi in the
mine, and the shaft, which is the
only means of escape, is choked by
forty feet of burning coal and rub
bish. Ventilation is totally stopped,
and there are great fears that some,
if not all will be suffocated.
PLYMOUTH, PA, September g.
A fire broke out this forenoon in
the flue and bottom of Steuben
shaft, owned by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Company,
in this place, and in a short time
the whole breaker and outbuildings
were in flames, and the hoistine
apparatus, the only avenue Of. es.
cape for the miners, destroyed. AL
efforts to stay the flames were una.
vailable and the whole structure
fell, filing up the shaft. Over two
hundred men are in the shaft and
have no communication out, with nc
chance for air, as the only way fol
getting air into the shaft was
through the main opening, and thai
was filed with burning timbers and
debris of the flames. 1t is feared
the whole number have been suf1'o.

ing streams down the shaft for the
purpose Of quenching the fire there
so that the rubbish can be cleared
out and the condition of tue men
ascertained. 1t will probably take
till to morrow morning before I'll
dings can be received from them.
The scene is heart-reEding. Fam
lilies are congregating in great mum
bers. Miners from all parts of the
country are there at work, and
merchants, and, in fact, the whole
population of the town have turned
out to assist.
The loss by the fire will amount
to about 100000, partly covered
by insurance.
All tue physicians in the vicinity
have been summoned to attend,
when the condition Of the men has
been ascertained. The affair has
cast a gloon upon the whole com
munity and business is almost en-
tirely suspended.
The miners had only resumed
work to-day, after suspension of
about three months. Among the
men in the mines is Mr.. Hughes, the
Superintendent.

We observe the effort of Demo
cratic leaders to prejudice the peo-
pie against that class of citizens
who lent their money to the gov
eminent durirg the war. A man
should be despised if he shows dis
respect to his neighbor because he
happens to be rich and the reverse
should also be the case. We mea-
sure man by his character without
reference to bis possessions. In this
country an honest and Industrious
citizen will always command respect,
whether he be rich or poor. The
possession Of property is no dis
honor, if honestly acquired; neither
is it any discredit to man if he is
not q worth a cent. AS noble a
heart, in the sight of Him who
made both, may reside in the bosom
of the one as of the other.

A sad task is imposed upon the
Journalists of America this week. It
is that of recording the death of
General John A. Rawlins, Secretary
of War of the United States, which
took place on Monday afternoon,
Sept. 9th, 1869 A brave man, a
great soldier, patriot, statesman,
and humble christian, is thus cut
down in the very prime and glory
of life, his 39th year. Seldom, in
deed is the death of national citi-
zen so universally regretted as that
Of Gen. Rawlins. But his glorious
deeds and name are recorded in the
brightest pages Of the imperishable
history Of the American Republic.
His burial takes place to-day. In
terestiDg accounts of his closing life
will be found in another column.

QUESTION of property, stamps him

business capacity, just such traits
are now mostneededih the manage

Watson would not sanction exorbi-

have blanks printed at Cleveland, or

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

fearful he would not live long
enough to do so.
TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Yesterday afternoon, while Secre-
taries Robson and Cox, and Post
master General Creswell, were SIT
ting at his side, the first named re-
marked to Gen. Rawlins. 81 am
very sorry to see you so sick;' to
which the General replied; "Mr.
Secretary, so far as I am personally
concerned as member of the Cabi-
net, 1 have met with it for the last
time. You will never see me there
again" The company were deeply
affected, but made no reply.
THE BODY EMBALMED.
Soon after the death Of Secretary
Rawlins his body was embalmed
and dressed in the uniform Of a
Major General.
Colonel Dayton, Chief of General
Sherman's staff, and Captain John
son, Of the Medical Department,
to night set up with the corpse.
ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT.
President Grant accompanied by
Private Secretary Porter, arrived at
Washington by special train from
Baltimore at twelve minutes past
five, and was met at the station by
Genersl Sherman. He at once pro.
ceeded to the residence Of General
Giles A. Smith, where he learned
that Secretary Rawlins had been
dead an hour. The President was
much affected while gazing upon
the lifeless form Of his friend, and
expressed deep regret that owing to
the nen-delivery of kilograms al
Saratoga he was prevented from
sooner starting for Washington.
THE PRESIDENT TELEGRAPHs TO THE
WIDOW.
President Grant on retm ming to
the Executive Mansion transmitted
the following dispatch
["Mrs. M. q. RaUliaas, DanJury, CT.
"Your beloved husband expired
at twelve minutes after four o'clock
this afternoon, to be mourned by a
family and by friends, who loved
him for his personal worth and
services to his country, and by a
nation who acknowledge the debt of
gratitude to him.
"On consultation with friends it is
determined that he shall be buried
in the Congressional Burving
Ground. as the most appropriate
burying place. unless you have 9TH
er suggestions to make. The time
of the funeral is not arranged, hut
probably will take place on Thurs
day next.

PARTIES, says the Cincinnati Com
mercia1, have for years been so
evenly balanced in California that a
Democratic or Republican majority,
as the result Of State election, has
not seemed significant of either po-
litical progress or reaction. With
all the prestige acquired as the sue
cessful General of the war, backed
by the popularity which Mr. Colfax
had acquired in the Pacific State,
General Grant was able to carry it
last year by majority so small as
to require an official count before it
was placed beyond a doubt that he
was entitled to the electoral vote.
The Democrats have had control
of the State for years, and the late
election adds nothing to the politi-
cal power they already possessed.
Still, as our contemporaries have
made much of it, and have remark
ed it as a singular omission that we
should have allowed the event to
pass without comment, we are not
in the least disinclined to touch up
on the influences and activities en-
ployed to assure Democratic
victory
The Democratic party has long
found its most powerful leverage in
the meanest prejudices of the mass
es. But for the advantage it has
had in working unscrupulously up
on the fears and the passions of the
ignorant, or those so poorly inform
ed as to be easily persuaded that
some class Of the populace was
about to rob them of their peculiar
privileges as American citizens, the
party, loaded down as it has been
with all that is odious in slavery,
secession and rebellion, would have
crumbled in pieces long ago, and
wholly disappeared as a political or
ganization.
In the very States where intense
prejudices existed against the black
race, no partisan politician has ever
had the manliness to stand up for
the despised, and risk Ills own pop
ularity in an effort to protect them
against the prosecutions to which
they have been subjected. Where
the popular idea was that the negro
should be, and of right ought to be,
enslaved, made chattel, and sold
as men sell sheep and cattle in stock
yards and pens, Democracy has
uniformly labored, by disgraceful
legislation as ever stained the an
nails OF a despotism, to rivet the
fetters firmer, and degrade to
lower depth those who were de-
clared to have no rights which
white man was bound to respect.
What the blacks have gained in
the way of personal freedom, civil
rights, or political privileges, has
been achieved in the face of Demo-

Democratic leaders are keeping
up the howl of Radical extravaganza
and taxation, but have nothing to
say about local taxes. Now every
person, of ordinary intelligence,
knows that the oppressive taxes
which the people are called upon to
pay, are for local purposes, assessed
by Democratic officials and expen-
ded by them. Doubtless this cry OF
Radical extravaganza is kept up by
these politicians for the purpose of
concealing the true cause of high
taxes.

Death of Gen. Rawlins Secre-
tary Of War.

WASHINGTON, September 6.-At
seven O'Clock this morning Secreta-
ry Rawlins was in tolerably COM
fortable condition. He spoke to
Gen. John E. Smith and Commis-
sioner Parker with his customary
earnestness on various subjects, and
| inquired whether they thought he
would recover his health or again
rise from his bed.
To this question General Smith
said he feared not, and asked wheth-
er he had any wish to express with
regard to the disposition of his re-
mains in case he should die.
He replied that he would leave
that with his friends, but he did
not desire to have an ostentatious
or expensive funeral.
During the afternoon, Secretaries
Cox and Robson came into the
chamber, when the former read to
him the following telegram
MESSAGE FROM THE ATTORNEY GEN
CONCORD, MASS, September g.
IF General Rawlins is living convey
to him the assurance Of my respect
and affection, and of the sorrow
with which I learn the condition of
a friend SO highly valued, man SO
upright, able and faithful. God
bless and keep him. (Signed)
E r. HoAR."
Secretary Rawlins said with deep
emotion: II am very grateful to
the Attorney General for his love,
and l wish you to say so to him.
At about three o'clock DR.. Peter
son was left in charge. DR.. Bliss
and Surgeon General Barnes hav-
ing been obliged by other duties to
leave for short time.
A CHANGE
DR.. Peterson, at few minutes
before four O'Clock, observed a
marked change in the condition of
the patient, whose pulse had be-
come very irregular, and he re-
marked to General Giles A. Smith
that he was sinking very fast and
had but few minutes to live, and
requested him to send for Surgeon
General Barnes.
MESSAGE FROM GENERAL SHERIDAN.
About this time there was read to
him a telegram from Lieut.. General
Sheridan, addressed to General Sher-
man, dated Chicago, September 9th,
as follows: "Will you please give
my love to Rawlins. All the Off
GERS here send their love to him"
With scarcely breath to speak he
said, General Sheridan is very
kind. 1 appreciate and am very
grateful for his kindness. IF the
love Of my friends could do it
would soon be a healthy man..
THE LAST MOMENTS.
About five minutes past four he
asked some one to raise him. DR..
Bliss, who had returned, adjusted
the pillows under his back while
DR.. Peterson held him up. His
eyes at once became fixed, and
without a struggle he died at twelve
minutes past four o'clock There
we're present Secretaries Cox and
Robson, Postmaster General Cres-
well, General Giles A Smith, Gen
eral j. A. Smith, Commissioner
Parker, James Rawlins, brother of
General O. O. Howard,

tary often expressed strong desire
to see President Grant, asking

PERSONALLY we have nothing to
say against Mr.. Beam, the Demo
cratic candidate for County Com
missioner. He is a clever gentle
man and a good citizen, but in our
opinion and that of good members
Of the Democratic party, he does
not possess the qualifications requi
site for the discharge of the duties
of the office he seeks. We are told
that he is no mechanic and that he
is very loose and careless in his
manner of doing business. On the
contrary, we claim that his oppo-
nent Mr.. S. Watson is, in every res
pect his superior in point Of compe-
tency and qualification.
