Hon. Andrew Stewart, the Radical
candidale for Congress IN the twenty first
.district,of Pennsylvania, and defeated at
the hate election, was in C'ongress from
1921 70 1929; subsequently from 1881 to
1885, and again from 1s43 TO 1S47. He
was the contemporary of Clay, Webster,
and that distinguished class # American
statesmen that gave this country to .
great extent its prestige for statesmanship
and ability. In canvass of his district,
MIR. Stewart, who was q noted advocate
IN the past as well as now, of protection
to American industry, made speech, in
which he referred 10 the fact, and related
an incident, which gave the origin of the
well-known phrase, acknowledging the
corn" He said:
In l62S-forty-two years ago-the
subject was before Congress, and we
were discussing it l was trying TO show

auctions in the form of goods, while they

The Trenton State Gazette says that
Benjamin Moran, who, since the recall Of
Mr.. Motley as Minister to England, has
been appointed to take charge of the mis-
sion, was Trenton cotton-spinner. His
father, William Moran, was employed in
Hoy's (now Wilson's) factory, and Benja-
min worked in a mule room, and was q
bright interesting boy. He went to Eng
land with Minister Dallas as an attachP.
He soon reached the position as charge
d'affaires, which position he has held
under every administration since, except
one year, when he was consul at Bay
onne. He is an accomplished diplomat,
and has raised himself TO this position by
his own efforts, without influential friends,
and without money, aud the Gazette
naturally refers TO his history with pride.

GRAND TrTTERANCES
Prom recent Sermon of Rev. DR.. Palmer, of Nj
Orleans,

Orleans
a brilliant English orator and writer
has well remarked, with touch of philo-
sophy, that when a nation is rushing to
destruction, the whole force of the ma
ton viii shoot up in one grand character,
like the aloe which blooms and shades for
a hundred years, then shoots up in one
single sprout; and, whenever civilization
has worked resolutions, 1t is possible to
place the finger on individual men who
are the opponents of the nations charac-
ter, after which others, though less noble,
perhaps, have nevertheless been fashion
ed. That gentleness and courtey, that
perfect moderation, that self-command
which enabled him to be so self-pO-
ses:ed amidst the most trying circum-
stances attribute of gentleman, and a
character such as that of the purest VIZ
man was united in him with that massive
strength, endurance and power, which
gave to the people whom he led, such
momentous strength in the long struggle
through which he passed.
Sir, there is unity in the grapes as
they grow in clusters upon the vine hold
a bunch in the hand and you speak of it
but there is another unity of the grapes
when thrown into the wine pipes, and
under the feet of those who trample
upon them almost profanely, and their
rich forms mingle and their red blood
flows together in q communion of vine ;
and such is the union and communion of
the hearts that have been forced together
by misfortune.

Tse Right Kin of Reconstruction.

The Southern States are rapidly be-
coming " reconstructed" in the right
way, that is, ON the basis of the DEM
ocratic party. We have already no.
ticed the brilliant manner in which
North Carolina has returned, in spite
of the bayonets of a scoundrelIy Gov
ernof, to Democratic rule. Tennes-
see, at her late judicial election, has
done even better. The Supreme
Court Judges nominated by the Dem
ocraacy have been elected by q major
ity of 10000. Six-sevenths of the
Circuit, Criminal and Common Law
Judges who have been elected are
Democrats. AS they already had the
Legislature, there is nothing left to
the Republicans except the Governc
and he will go out at the November
election. We shall then carry nearly
or quite all the Congressman. Ten
nessee and North Carolina are thus in
line with the Democracy of the Ma.
tion, and prepared to do great deal
to destroy the Radical national ascend.
ency. The other Southern States
will in due season follow the example
set them by these two old Conserya-
tive Whig States, which to the very
last were attached to the principles OF
that Observation-Disclosures.

Tar resolution of the Radical plat
form over which their politicians seem
to feel the greatest pride is that in
which they unblushingly boast of
having plundered the laboring people
of $50, 900, 600 to put into the Golfers
of the bondholders. If it be true, as
they allege, that they have paid that
amount Of the debt, is ii not q piece of
downright viliainy that the toiling,
producing people should be thus heav-
lily burdened to pay bonds at par for
which the. Government received but
45 to so cents on the dollar, while the
privileged bondholder enjoys all the
benefits and protection of the Govern.
ment without being suject to any oi
of its burdens? Taxes should be inn
posed upon all classes of property to
maintain a government which grants
it protection; but under Radical rule
the necessities, wants and follies Of
the people are taxed to pamper q priv
ileged aristoeracy; and after plumber
ing the people in this manner the.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Falling Of q Bnilding-one Man XIII

The 4a01ng OF o Bu1t0ane-One AAaH KILL
ed and Nine Wounded fa-, II
The city was startled, about 8
O'Clock Friday afternoon last, by the
announcement that the large frame
" stock house" being erected at the
Himrod Furnaces, had fallen down
and buried a;number of men in the
ruins. The report proved to be but
too tfiie.
The building had not yet been en-
closed or roofed-was nothing but the
naked frame, composed of heavy TIM
bers. It's fall was sudden, without q
moments warning; the wreck was
complete; and, of the men working
in IL at the time, one was instantly
killed and six severely, and three
slightly, wounded. Many others were
caught and imprisoned by the falling
timbers, but miraculously escaped in
jury.
There was slight wind blowing
at the time, and it was to this that the
calamity was first attributed: but the
latest popular decision is that it was
owing to the incompeteney as . build
er Of the superintendent of the work
of erection.
Samuel Sutton was the name of the
man killed. He leaves widow and
two children. james p. Mccormick
had bis sheuldsr-blsde broken; Pat
rick Fannerty, his collar bone broken.
Thomas Danaha, an arm broken,
Michael Higgins, Patrick Tumy and
Peter Sheridan, were badly bruised
in the back, legs, &C., but escaped
without broken bones. Three other
men, whose names we could not learn
were slightly wounded.

The Defeat of Bingham.

The Barnesville Enterprise, a +" neu-
trail" paper which leaned very strongly
to Bingham's support before the Con-
vention, admits now that he cannot be
elected. The Radical majority in the
District last year was only one hun
dred and fifty-six. The Enterprise
says: 5'aIHi 3 ,2s = 80
at is admitted generally that this
majority will be swept away in 1870,
but the friends of Mr.. Bingham ex-
pect reinforcement of 500 by the
negro vote. But as 300 of these votes
are in Belmont county, where the Re-
publican politicians will not take part
in the contest it is very likely that
they will not be all polled for Bing-
ham. Even with a united party, it
was not expected that Bingham would
have more than 500 majority, but
when we consider that Republican
politicians of this county will do
nothing for him. it is probable that
this majority will be swept away"

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The war still continues but the
news is not of an exciting character.
The city of Paris is reported TO be
completely invested by the Prussians,
and considerable hard fighting has
taken place around the city. Prussia
distinctly says she recognizes no
French government Imperial or Re-
publican, and she is reluctant to make
peace at present.
Jules Favre has gone to the Prus-
sian headquarters under safe conduct
from Bismark.
A London despatch ofthe Goth says
@The crisis at Paris approaches
swiftly. The battle will be opened
soon. Almost all the regular troops
who can be spared from the entrench-
ments have gone outside of Paris, and
are harassing the enemy dreadfnlly.
ALI obstacles to impede his move
ments are being thrown in his way,
and while the entire available force
for active service has been disposed
without the wall the arrangements
for guarding the wall are perfect.
