SION OF BUsINEss-A DISCUSSION WITH FISTS

LoRETTo, Feb. 13, 1869.
To the Editors Ct The 4lLeghaniqn
Owing to the bad condition of the roads,
business here is extremely dull. Nearly
all the roads leading hence are impossible,
caused by the recent thaw. The hills are
bare, and deep with mud, and on the shell
tered places are mammoth drifts of snow,
too soft to be trod on by horses. Conse-
quontly, farmers and others are excluded
from town, and we are almost entirely shut
out from the world.
On Tuesday last, several persons who
had come to town to attend public sale
could not, it appears, agree. A discussion
with fists was resorted to, and the result
was plurality of black eyes and bloody
noses Cause-vendue whisky.
Samuel McMullen, the young man who
was accidentally stabbed with a knife,
while playing with companion, about
fourteen months ago, died from his wound

Our enterprising friend Mr.. A, J. Chris

view of enlarging his business. Mr.. Ber-

a large store-house at the north end of
town and Francis O'Friel, Esq, is ma

soon assume quite new appearance.

THE H4REKARI OF ST. THOMAS.

THE people of st. Thomas appear to be in
very bad way generally. King Christian TX of
Denmark, whom they have for a long time past
acknowledged as their sovereign lord, was
very desirous TO exchange his sovereignty over
them for a money consideration, and when the
news reached him that Secretary Seward was
buying up all the desolated tracts of country in
the world, he fastened to open negotiations for
the disposal of his fee simple in st. Thomas.
The negotiations progressed SO favorably that
the purchase of the island by the United
States was regarded merely as question Of
time, and OF very brief space of time, at that.
With a great show of Difference for the wishes
of his subjects, King Christian ordered a pOpu-
lar vote to be taken, and, with remarkable una
nimity the people of st. Thomas pronounced in
favor of the proposed transfer of their allegiance.
Then there came serious hitch in the affair,
and thus far the Senate of the United States has
refused to ratify the purchase treaty.
This refusal leaves the quaking inhabitants of
the island in a very anomalous situation. Prac-
tically the Danish Government has repudiated
the island and all its belongings and the United
States having refused to assume the sovereignty
the wretched inhabitants are held subject TO the
sway of earthquakes and tidal waves alone. But
| even this accumulation of misfortunes has not
avaied to teach them the first principles of dis
| cretion. We are told from Washington to-day
that the authorities make such heavy and un-
reasonable charges for the use of the island as a
coaling station for American ships of war, that
our Government is about to transfer its business
in this line to the bay of Samana, in the republic
of San Domingo, There is great deal of talk
about annexation to the United States in the
latter country, and the thing is not an improba-
bility. If it should take place, the fate of un-
happy st. Thomas would of course be sealed
unless his Majesty of Denmark should conclude
to part with the latter island without receiving
one cent by way of compensation. Under these
circumstances, the ST. Thomas authorities arc
simply making an earnest effort to disembowe
themselves, in fgurative way of speaking, will
fair prospects of success

and to all interests, and eulogizes as manhood
the inoffable meanness which, by his own state
ment, is the handspring of his character. From
this sort of greedy monkey manhood, this adult
piggishness, this wretched and pitiable incarna-
ton of unblushiAg selhshness, God save this
Commonwealth We hope the day may be far
distant when Pennsylvanians will reach the stul-
tfying stature which Mr.. Atkinson is vainly
endeavoring to establish as standard.
The only new thing the new free trade orator
pretends to say is, that he thinks the cotton
manufacturers of New England might increase
their large dividends If they obtained coal free
OF duty from Nova Scotia, and iron, steel, and
machinery free of duty from Great Britain
They have amassed wealth heretofore through
the aid of protective duties levied for their bene-
fit, but they might amass still greater wealth
hereafter if nobody else could be aided by the
governmental agencies which they have so
benef1cially used This is the sum and sub
stance of Mr.. Atkinsons philosophy and he has
the impudence to preach it in Philadelphia. II
his teachings could be successful he would de-
populate our thoroughfares more rapidly than
dreadful pestilence, but rs they carry with them
on their face their own condemnation, his ap-
pearance here is only instructive as an illustra-
ton of the lengths to which cOnceited folly may
be carried when it is conjoined with stupendOus
selfishness.

PHILLIPS IN A FRENZY.

The Peculiar Institution" is dead. If any cir
cumstance were needed to recall the fact, the
reports which we receive of the anniversary
meeting of the Anti-Slavery Societyat New York
yesterday would suffice. Steinway Hall was not
half full of people, and half of those who were
present were of unmistakable African descent.
Wendell Phillips, "as usual" presiled, and "as
usual he tilted a lance at almost everything.
Fortunately, however, the fifteenth amendment
escaped his wrath, and he condescended to ad-
vocate the passage of resolution endorsing it.
But this was not the only thing advocated by
him. Evidently he advocated the tender of an
ovation to the eolored Lieutenant-GOvernor of
Louisiana by the Wall street brokers, for he
stated his profound belief that he would live to
see the day when the bulls and bears of Wall
street would be forced to encounter the sable
Louisanian face to face. Why Wendell has set
his heart on this thing we cannot imagine, but
it is probably simply because the Lieutenant
Governor is a negro, and not altogether because
he is a man.
Wendell also contemplates sundry other curl
GUS occurrences which, to him, are strongly
savored with the millennium. Among these is
the displacement of Secretary Fish, and the
confding of our diplomacy to the hands of
colored man. II negro were installed at the
that everything would be particularly lovely,
and the goose hung on very elevated peg, the
upshot of the whole affair being that Minister
Motley would cross the Atlantic with very diff
ferent set of instructions from those with which
he has been provided by such miserable white
trash as now manage our foreign affairs. In
this we detect little piece of sarcasm worthy
of the illustrious Wendell, the point of it being
that not Motley but Phillips would cross the
ocean, breathing battle and snorting defiance.
In one aspect these vagaries of Wendell Phil
lips are extremely harmless. No reasonable or
intelligent person regards them in any light
other than that of the scintillations of mis-
guided zeal and fanatical purpose. But the
Democratic press, in their fear of negro supre-
macy, seize upon all such ridiculous utterances
and parade them before the people as indications
of the purposes of the Republican party. If the
readers of these white mems journals
were generally gifted with more com
mon sense and fairness than their
writer's possess no harm would result. Unhap-
PLY this is not the case, and therefore we ex-
press the hope that the bulls and bears of Wall
street may soon be induced to face Lieutenant
Governor Dunn in all his ebony radiance. The
Neapolitan who has once gazed upon Ma
pies is ready to die. Perchance Wendell will
give up the ghost quite cheerfully when his eyes
have seen the glery of this spectacle.

Cheyenne exploded, scattering the flames over
the Westmoreland.
There were 200 barrels of coal oil on
the Cheyenne. The Melnotte belonged to
Williamson IL Joahll and Captain Keniston.
Value, $4,000; insurance, 10000. The Westmore-
land belonged to Captain Byers, Rusk & Wolf.
Value, $4,000. The Clifton was valued at
$35, 900; insured for $22, 900. The Mary Erwin
was valued at $12, 900; insured for $4,000. The
Cheyenne was valued at $50, 900; insured for
$4,000; value of cargo $4,000 The Darling
was valued at $25,OOO; insured for 800, 900.
Rumors are afoat that several lives were lost,
