THE NINE EXPLOSION.
investigation Into Cause of Disaster at
Pittsburg, Pa-"0ul BOno."

PITTsToN, August 15.-The inves-
tigation as to the cause of the mine
disaster, will take place to-day or to-
morrow. The inspector states 1t as
his opinion, that the cause of ii Is in
doubt whether il was by the
falling in of an adjoining passage.
Mr.. Smiles, Pittston and Elmyra
Coal Company Superintendent, thinks
that the accumulation of fire damp
has been standing in some unap.
prOachable part of the mine, and the
fall of coal forced the. gas upon the
naked lamp, causing an explosion and
throwing down an immense amount
Of coal or rock, which disarranged the
proper working of the air ways, on
which the miners depend for vitality.
A statement is made that an in
spection has never been made of the
mine, either by Inspector Blewitt,
Mine Inspector, or his predecessor,
Nicholas. Blewitt says that he is
anxious for a thorough examination to
be made, as there are various ways by
which the explosion may have been
caused. There Is no evidence that
the men died by concussion of the
air. The men, when found, did not
present any evidence of having sur
vived long after the explosion. The
son of David Owens, Richard, was
found clasped in his fathers arms. The
boy was badly burned; the father was

The Cholera.

NEW YORK, August 16.-Advices
from London state that fatal cases Of
cholera had appeared on three steam
ers from Cronstadt to Hull; but the
English authorities were taking every
means to prevent its introduction into
ships arriving in their ports.
y sterday dispatches were received
here announcing two fatal cases Of
cholera in Paris.
The members of the Health Depart
ment of this city think there is little
probability of a cholera visitation to
this country this year. One physician
says he no longer thinks the cholera a
matter of interest in America, as it
has been lurking about Europe for
wears. while we have escaped.

bismarck and the Catholic Church,

NEW YORK, August 16.-Advices
received from London state that Bis
marck has commenced a vigorous
campaign against the Papacy, and his
first blow was to declare In Parlia-
ment and also in the Official Gazette
that he regarded the Ultramontane
Church as hostile TO the State, and
has broken of all relations with It not
purely political, and has dissolved the
Catholic Department Of Ministry Of
Purclie worship. He is intriguing for
the establishment OF the Orthodox
Catholic party, which in Its name
applied to the opponents Of infalibility
and actively supporting DR.. Doelinger,
at Munich, where the Doctor, though
excOmmunicated has just been elected
by a vote Of 81 to 6 as Rector Of the
University. II has been announced
by the Ultramontane organs Of that
State to treat as Catholics those per.
sons who are inhibited for rejecting
! the infaIIibility dogma.

GREELEY vs. MURPHY.
Old Horace Down on the New York Custom
House RadicaIs--A Muss in the
Republican Camp.

NEW YORK, August 16.-The 1ri
6Ule to-day, in an article upon the
Republican Convention in New Or
leans, says that every Republican
must feel Indignant at such indecent
and wanton perversion of authority
as that which resulted in the organi-
Zation of two Conventions in New
Orleans. To call Convention in the
United States court rooom in the GUS
tOm-hOuse building was gross pOliti-
cal outrage, unprecedented in the his
tory ofthe country. The dissatisfac-
ton among the Republican factions of
this city continues to be discussed by
the press and politicians. At meet
ing of the local organizations there is
a denunciatiOn of one wing Of the
Republicans by the others.
Last night the custOm-hOuse was
assailed at a meeting of the Sixth as
sembly district Union Republican As.
sOciation, and a few nights since a
meeting held by the Republican Gen.
eral Committee, Mr.. Duganne, presid-
ing officer, said that the members op-
posing the clubs, though affecting to
be Republicans, were at heart Tam
manyists, and aiming at the destruc-
tiOn of the Republican party in the
city. He also declared that there
were many Of them in the pay of
Tammany Hall.
The Times this morning, speaking
of Republican politics, says that the
Of the Republican ranks
arise from the anger of the Tammany
Republicans, who want to hold all
United States offices, beside those I'M
der Tammany Hall, and that q num-
Der Of persons who adhere to the old
General Committee cannot properly
be described as Tammany Republi-
cans, though men calling themselves
and who have attained
an eminent position in the party, have
influence for political and
pecuniary interest for the Tammany
Ring. The headship of the custom
house organization mainly is vested
in Collector Murphy, who is charged
with being tinctured with Tam
on account of the fact
that he was a Tammany dele
gate TO the State Convention which
put Hoffman in nomination for
the GOvernOrship, to which his accu-
sers make frequent reference. The
house organization is vigOr-
Ously fought by the Union Republi-
cans, an organization which is princi-
pally under the guidance of Horace
Greeley, of the Tribune, and which, as
a body, refuses to recognize the former

the Iron Mountain Railroad Com
psny vs. Constantine Mcguire, Collec-
tor of st. Louis county, to restrain the

ing stock of said road, for the non.
payment of taxes, was argued before
Judge Dillon, of the United States
Circuit Court at Chambers, in Daven-
port, Iowa, yesterday.
The Court made a temporary order
that so far as application for an injunc-
ton is based, upon alleged irregular
tiles in assessments, the Judge is in
cIined to deny the same, but so far as
application is based upon the alleged
exemption of said railroad company
from taxation by the Legislature of
the State, the Judge takes the matter
under advisement, to be decided on or
before the first Wednesday in October
next, and, ia the meantime, the sale
will be temporarily postponed.
In conformity with the above the
sale of rolling stock has been post
poned by ageement of the counsel foT
both sides, until the 10th Of October,
and will take place on that day with
ont further advertisement, unless en-
Ioined by the Circuit Court. The Col.
iector's levy, in the meantime, Is TO
remain and continue effective.
