We ars again called to mourn the departure

seem yet lingering In our silent hall, and
whose visage yet seems bright as 10 the days
Of yore. GEoRsE WASHINGTON PERkrSs, the
true and Jealous Mason, the noble, generous
and upright man, is no more; he Who, as a
Mason, knew no sacriace TOO great, no duty
too dissgraeable, no charity too exacting, has
been summoned hence to that house not
made with hands, eternal In the Heavens.
" He sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. &"
Truly may it be said that death, the insatiate
archer chooses bright mark.
ResOlUed, That in the death OF Brother PER

Canada MaiteIs-BuFlingsme and His

The Morning Posi- of to-day has an
editorial on Canadian matters, which
SAYS the consolidation development
of Canada emigration is increasing.
The Government is active, and rela-
tiOns with the United States Is in a
fair way of improvement. The peo-
pie and money are very great. Ii Is
desirable TO let Canada shew that
these can safely and profiIGbly be sent
there, and the old country will be
found supporting and invigorating In
q better manner than in supplying her
with inadequate garrisOns.
The Post also says that Burl@game
received a dispatch from the King,
expressing his entire satisfaction with
the treaty, and announcing that salts

NATIONAL TEMPERANCE PARTY
THE convention which recently met at Chi
cago. and resolved to form National Tenn
perance party, pledged to prohibition as a
distinctive issue, will scarcely be able to gain
many adherents in Pennsylvania. The people
of this State have never regarded third parties
with much favor. They prefer, as a rule, to
promote any object they have at heart by ex-
erting an influence upon the councils of the
leading organizations which are already in the
feld and even in the late convention this
course was ably advocated by large minority.
Although many citizens favor prohibition in
al the Northern States, distinct prohibitiYe

WHEN all other appliances prove Intellectual,
dangerous roughs seek to escape justice by
rendering straw bail, and then fleeing from
the confines of the State. On Monday it was
discovered that the bail-goer of detected in
cendiary had previously entered bail for a
number of persons, who had nearly all
escaped. Judge Ludlow at once adopted
measures to have the outraged law vindicated,
but the old trick will no doubt soon be revived
again by new operator.

The DISCUSSIONS before the Court of Com
mon Pleas of the contested election cases are
giving timely warning of the necessity of
strict enforcement of the Registry law.
They clearly indicate that in the Democratic
precincts of the lower part of the city every
conceivable form of fraud was resorted to for
the purpose of swelling the vote of the Demo
cratic candidates, and that every injunction of
law and every consideration of honor and
Justice were fagrantly disregarded

announced that the proposed officials would

THE CASE or JIMMY HAGGERTY.
JUST as it seemed that Mr.. Jimmy Haggerty
was about to escape from the clutches of the
law, under the two-term rule, because his
friends had succeeded in spiriting away the
chief witness for the Commonwealth, the Dis
trict Attorney made a neat flank movement
that did him decided credit. He moved for
Haggertys further detention on the ground
that he had been pardoned out of the peni-
tentiary on condition that he would leave the
country. The counsel for Haggerty at
tempted to overcome the latter obstacle in
the way of their clients happiness by
endeavoring to show that he is not the
identical Jimmy Haggerty that was pardoned,
and that if he is, the condition is null and
void, because the Governor has no power,
they contend, to grant a conditional pardon.
This last objection however, is apparently
overcome by decision of the Supreme Court
made about twenty-five years ago, to the
effect that the Governor has full power to
annex to a pardon any condition, and that
the original sentence remains in full force if
| the conditions are not carried out.
This seems to settle the case of Mr.. Hag-
| SerJy, as Jnere VIII uouDIlesS De Dut nttle
difficulty in identifying him with the Jimmy
who received Governor Curtin's pardon, and
who then preferred to take his chances in
Philadelphia rather than to emigrate to
foreign parts
We hope sincerely that District Attorneys
Sheppard and Hagert will spare no effort to
keep Haggerty now that they have got him.
Their efforts thus far in this case entitle them
to the regards of the community and if they
can only manage to put Jimmy into the peni-
tentiary on any terms, they will confer a favor
ON the law-abiding people of this city that
will not soon be forgotten.

The CALAMITY at the Avondale Mine is one
of the most distressing, touching, and de-
structive accidents that has ever occurred in
this or any other country. There is a bare
possibility that the two hundred men and
boys may yet be saved but at o'clock this
morning it was the belief of experts that they
had all perished. While this terrible tragedy
is Immediately caused by the destruction of
the breaker by fire, it would scarcely have
been possible if the mine had been
properly ventilated by other shafts Every
careful observer of operations in the coal
regions comments upon the reckless and
careless manner in which they are conducted
and the accidents which from time to time
cause the destruction of many lives, and shock
the community, are the inevitable result Of
criminal negligence. Now that they are
coming thick and fast, the Legislature cannot
too soon provide for the proper inspection of
all mines, and the establishment of safeguards
against further accidents.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-09-07

duties. We believe that the law requires the
appointment Of election officers whose politics
correspond with that of the respec-
tive precincts, and that, in accord
ance with this provision, o Democratic
judge and one Democratic inspector were
appointed in each Democratic precinct of the
Fourth ward. But the men do not seem to
have been of a sufficiently 'red-hot' stripe to
justify the belief that they would repeat the
glaring frauds perpetrated in the Fourth ward
at the last election, or that they would vio-
late their oaths and disregard the promptings
of their consciences for the sake of the party.
Consequently, "club law is to be established,
honest election officers are to be murdered"
and hundred dollars is to be bet that theywil
not be allowed to serve Thisis the entertain
ment to which law-and- -order-loving Philadel-
phians are invited by the roughs and rowdies
who aspire to supreme rule, and who have
already displayed their determination to erect
on the ruins of popular government that
worst of all despotisms, the dominance of
murderous mobs and marauders!
