AVN srILL THEY COME.

Well. don't it beat alp" was an ex-
clamation made to us this morning as
we came to the Office. What beats
all?" was our interrogation, not having
seen the morning papers. Why"
said he, they had another deadly affair
at New York yesterday. The Staten
Island ferryboat, crowded with passen-
gers blew up, scalding and killing a
great number of people the number
Of deaths isnot accurately known, but is
great. The scene is described as most
horrible. Babes were blown out OF
the arms of their mothers and swept into
the water. Hundreds were struggling
for life, and all burnt and blistered, cried
out for help. Men lost their wives, and
wives lost their husbands. Parents lost
their children, and children lost their
parents. The ferryboat that did all this
havoc had patched boiler and negro
engineer. And this right on the heel OF
the great riotl The scripture says that
Satan is to be let loose thousand years
Are not the terrible events Of 1871 the
tracks of his cloven feet on the sands oil

TuMANE SOCIETIES.

A correspondent writes us a letter on
the subject Of the establishment in this
city of an institution to be called the
Humane Society" We have not read
the articles the writer refers to, and
have thought little on the subject. We
are for anything that will benefit society.
We are for anything that will serve as an
auxiliary of the law in preventing crime.
We will call any man brother, whether
he be in rags or in fine linen, who acts
correctly himself and employs his iufiu-
ence to ameliorate the condition of
the unfortunate and to bring to justice
the violator of the law. What could do
more good than Humane Society
properly managed2 The great need Of
our system of society is the feeling of
humanity. Communities cannot pros
per where every man is porcupine
fighting off the approaches of another
porcupine. The cultivation of humane
feelings would blunt the sharp points of
their quilts and bring them together as
brothers.

DON'T STOP HIN.

1t is to be hoped, for the good Of the
county, that certain departurists will
depart SO far that they will never be able
to return. Let them keep right on. If
any movement is made to check them,
let it be frowned down. The two ex-
tremes will be together again. The
departurist fellow, after circumnaviga-
ting the political globe, will stumble on

CNcNNArI, July 3l.-A serious rail-
road war is reported as going on at Co
lumbus and London, Ohio. between the
Panhandle railroad and the Springfield
and Cincinnati road. The Panhandle
laborers last night tore up the track of
the road where it crosses the Panhandle
and then filled up cut on that road.
The officers Of the Springfield and Gin

to these points TO relay the track, and
maintain it at all hazard. II is said the

WASHINGTON.
The Case of the Philadelphia Rank
The Kentucky Claim.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Hon. E. c.
Banfield, solicitor of Treasury, having
had referred to him the case of the
Philadelphia bank, which claims exemp-
ton from tax imposed on their capital
by the State of Pennsylvania, on the
ground that said capital was represented
by the bonds Of the new funded loan, has
rendered an opinion in the matter, de-
Gliding that the Government had no
power in the premises; that It is ques-
ton in which the State has sole jurisdic-
ton and that the case can be settled by
an appeal to the State courts.
The representatives from Kentucky,
who are here endeayoring to secure the
half million dollars claim Of their State
for enrolling State militia, fled their
final argument with Secretary Boutwell,
He has not yet come to any conclusion
in the matter. and as he has many points
submitted by the claimants yet TO be
considered, it is doubtful if decision is
announced before the. fifth Of August.
The President has made the following
appointments: Marsh Giddihgs, Of Mich
igan, to be Governor Of New Mexico;
W. L Warning. to be Assessor Of Inter
nal Revenue for New Mexico; also a
number Of lieutenants in the revenue
service. He has also signed the petit
ton Of Christian Borse, to be Swedish
Consul at New York.
In the eaEly part Of the war Frank
Hodges, Of Michigan. enlisted in the
Federal army, and there lost an arm.
he afterwards became a clerk in the In
terror Department. and in October, 1870,
went to Michigan again TO register as a
voter in The town Of Virgennes. but was
refused the privilege on the plea Of non
residence. Hodges thereupOn entered
suit for two thousand dollars damages,
and Judge Hoyt, Of the court At Grand
Rapids, Michigan. has just decided that
Hodges is entitled to vote. He reserves
I MS decision rs 10 the amount Of damages
TO be allowed the plaintiff.

KNOCK HIM DOWN.

Many types are employed in announc-
ing to America, Europe, Asia and Hope
field that Henry Clay Dean refuses to
depart. Now we regard this as great
waste Of time and material. There is a
very easy mode Of compelling him to
depart without all this newspaper fuss.
Are there any double-fsted fellows out
of employment in his neighborhoodP
IL so, let one of them order Dean to de-
part, and il he hesitate, knock him down.
Fellows like Dean have got to depart.
The country has no time 10 be foohng
with them. If they are soldiers in the
Democratic army, they must obey the
orders OF their superiors and move of
when ordered. IL they refuse they i'm
peril their lives. They are shot. They
must move That is the order of things
now. The affairs Of great nation must
not be clogged by such men as Dean.
They must be showed on. VIII some
one have the kindness to punch
Dean in the back2 Win some one take
it upon himself TO travel through the
country and punch all the old poll
teal lamp-posts of the past in the back ?
They have been there for years, and
they wish to stay there forever, holding
up their Pickering lamps that reveal
nothing of the present or the future, but
only shine upon and make more CHASTITY
the untenanted graves Of the past
Knock Dean down as an example.

Is THIS RIGHT

1t said that an important conference OF
the Democratic politicians is to be held
at Saratoga next week, to take sound
ings," as the phrase is, with reference to
the next Presidency, with particular
reference to the Southern element.
These Democratic politicians will dis
cover the Southern element in an uproar
about the departure. They will proba-
bly, conclude that the North and West
will have to fight the battle of 1872 on
their own hook. Our position is this:
Let the Democracy of the North make a
platform to please themselves, and then
let the anti-Radicals of the South sup
port it,

GOOD NEWS AT LAST.

Juarez has been reelected President
of Mexico, and o revolution is threat
ened. They have not had revolution
down there for nearly year, and they
are quite hungry for one. The Mexicans
want excitement, and that which takes
the forms of murder and robbery is most
popular. We have felt for sometime that
something was wrong, but did not know
how to account for it; indeed, did not
exactly know what it was. 1t is true
we know there were spots on the sun;
deviIment among the earthquakes; a
lively time among the tornadoes that
have been playing baseball with barns,
churches and trees; that the government
of this country was sitting by the sea;
that the Ku-Klux bill was kidnapping
some Of the best citizens of the South;
that the fascinating debate on departure
was going on; that a couple of our
highly esteemed and able contemporaries
were denuding the scalps of each other
of luxuriant locks, tresses and curls;
but we did not know that these dire
full things existed, come to pass
and are, because there is not
now, and has not been for six months,
revolution in Mexico. And now, in the
extremity Of our woes and calamities,
the welcome news comes like the notes
Of Byron's flute on the blue waters of
Lake Leman. Amt yon glad? Why,
what would the world do without revo-
buttons in Mexico? They are necessary
to the existence Of nations and to the
repose of nature, General Cass once
said the United States would, or could,
swallow the whole of Mexico. Hap
PLY for US, they did not do it.
We trust they never will do it. We
trust that when the attempt is made, if
ever, they will take the lockjaw. Swal-
low an annual revoIutionl Why, the
fact is, that Jonah, within the-precincts
of the whale, did not cause that noun
tain Of sperm the agony that Mexico
would cause Uncle Sam if taken upon
his stomach. Let Mexico remain where J
she is. We want no bursting Of shells
among our national vitals. There, mid
way betwixt the Northern and Southern
ends of the Continent, let her be free to
play with her revolutions. They are
necessary to the world, and we only feel
it is SO when she suspends them for six
months

A WASHINGTON dispatch informs the
public that the frequent absences of the

sorts make it necessary for the clerks to

During the severe thunder storm last
Saturday morning, charge Of cleo
tricity melted and severed the wires in
the telegraph office at the N. Ludington
& Co. store, and set fire to the window
castings They were enveloped in flames
in an instant, and the employees in the
store vainly attempted to extinguish the
flames with water. At this critical
juneture, Caleb came TO the rescue with
Babcock Fire Extinguisher, and soon
put an effectual quietus on the destroy
ing element But for this timely aid,
the store and contents would probably
have been destroyed. All who were
present felt the electric shock more or
less sensibly, but, fortunately, no one
was injured.
