hEoPENNG OF DEERING HALL-Deering
Hall, or Portland Theatre, as we should now
call it, was reopened last night under most
f1atterng auspices Every seat and every inch
OF standing room was occupied, and the differ
ent members of the company, as they made
their appearance, were received with flattering
tokens of regard by the audience, which Gull
minated when Miss Dollie Didwell made her
entr6e upon the stage. The opening play,
Lady Audley's Secret" is of the sensational
school, and the performance gave great salts
faction to the audience, Judging by the ap-
plause.
The Theatre looks well, and may now be
called theatre, an appelation it has never be-
fore deserved There is wide lobby at the
head of the stairs, which, together with the
stairs, has been nicely carpeted with India mat
ting as well as the body of the house. The
ground work Of color, on the walls of the hall
proper, is light drab and the walls are pan
eled The front of the stage has been ele-
gantly frescoed by Schumacher, and the pri-
vate boxes, with their gilt and drab dress and
damask curtains, give a fine finish to the audi
forum. The scenery, by Mr.. Doble, is very
good, and the orchestra, led by Mr.. Hayes, ac-
quilted themselves well.
We have no doubt that packed audiences
will greet Mr.. Bidwelrs company during their
engagement, and we would advise all who
wish good seats to apply at the Box Office early.

The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-04-09


Both of the organs of the so-ealled
Republican" party Of this county,
have declared in favc.r of the Negro
Suffrage amendment TO the Constitn-
ton. As il has been made party
measure by the "Re publican" leaders,
of course these sul3servient partizan
sheets are bound 20 endorse it. TO
them it is not the XVIII Amendment,
but the XVIII C1amdndment Of their
party Nothing better than abiect sab
mission to this new decree of the "Re-
publican" leaders, could be expected
from such covering, crawling slaves to
power as heeditors ofthese newspapers.
Before last falls election they did not
dare to print a word in favor of Negro
Suffrage. Why? Because they feared,
if they did, their ticket would be dam
aged, aad because the party leaders in
Congress had not yet commanded their
dogs throughout the country to bark.
Now being in possession of a new lease
Of power, they impudently display the
cloven foot and openly avow what
they before studiously concealed and
persistently denied. With such tools
of party, it is not worth while to hold
controversy. If conviction were forced
upon them, by facts and logic the most
irresistible, they would not dare to a.d-
nit themselves in the wrong. Their
bread and butter depend upon their
adhesion to their party leaders, and
bread and butter make tnem towards
4 and slaves. We only refer to their
endorsement of tie infamous XVIII
Amendment, il order to prove that
what we always said they would do,
/ they have now done. We call the at
| tertion of the masses of the ''Republi-
cam party to this fact, and now tri-
umphantly claim that what We asserted,
time and again, and what "Repubii-
cans" as persistently denied, is true
and Uerifed, viz: that IL 1cas and is the
/ purpose Of The Republican" leaders to
force Negro Suffrage upon the people
With both houses OF Congress, the
President and the State Legislature,
endorsing and recommending the
scheme, and the "Republican" news
paper press sustaining it, there can be
no longer any doubt upon the subject.
Let honest men act accordingly.

Man Butchers his Wife and Chill
dren and Then Drowns Himself.

dren and then browns Himself.
A horrible murder was committed,
in Philadelphia, on Tuesday of last
week, under peculiar circumstances.
Early in the morning a man threw
himself into the Delaware river and
was drowned. Subsequently a hand
kerchief was found in the water bear
ing the name of Blackstone. In the af-
ternOOn the body was recovered, and
found to be that of Blackstone, of the
firm of Funston & Blackstone, picture
frame makers at 9l2 Market street.
The body was sent to his house in
the extreme northwestern part of
the city. On arriving there the par
ties found another party of police in
possession, and that Blackstone's wife
and two small children were dead,
chopped to pieces with an axe. 1t APP
pears that previous to committing the
murder, Blackstone wrote a letter to
his wife's father in Connecticut, say
ing that he had killed his wife and
children and would kill himself. The
party in Connecticut telegraphed to
the police authorities here who went
to the house and found the dead bodies
as before related, aud were investiga-
ting the case when the dead body of
the father was brought in.
On Blackstone's body was found pa
per stating that he had been robbed and
was ruined man, and giving this
as a reason for the deed. His
wife appears to have been killed while
lighting a fire in the stove, as the neigh
bors heard a noise at that time. The
children were killed in bed up stairs
and carried down and laid at the feet
of their mother. Blackstone was prob
ably insane.
