Awful Mining Disaster In Pennsylvania.
A most terrible disaster occurred at the
Knight shaft in West Pittston, Pennsylvania,
on Saturday last. 1t took FIRE about o.
clock in the afternoon from friction in the
hosting apparatus, and burned fercely to the
ground. There were thirty-eight men in the
mine at the time Of the accident, and the most
painful apprehensions were felt for some hours
that not one could be rescued alive, the ex-
element prevailing being Undesirable. At
last, by the greatest exertions, all were drawn
up, but eighteen of them were dead.
Martin Cox, one of the miners who was
taken out alive, makes the following state
ment: f,s
We went in att A. M. My brother Rob-
ert cut through from one air-way to another,
and turned in gas, and. six miners came out
with him. Befere.their shift was up the air
was SO bad they could not work at all. This
was about fifteen minutes before the fire, and
seven came up to the top five minutes before
the FIRE was discovered: The FIRST intimation
we had of the fire was sound through the
mine as if there was an explosion of gas. An
English miner said there was fire. We were
then working about City yards from the bot
tom of the shaft, on the west side. l then
ran to the bottom of the shaft, and saw the
fire coming down; ran back to my comrades,
and told them ave are all lost, the shaft is
on fire." We were seven 10 all.
We then ran to the foot of the shaft, and
the burning timbers were coming. down /;
threw on water to put out the FIRE, and the
smoke became so intense that we were nearly
suffocated. Volumes came down the shaft
and filled the place. We then ran to the
west side in the direction of the river bridge
down the slope, and got indoors with eleven
others, making eighteen altogether in that
place. The smoke came 10 upon US so badly
that we gathered up COB Of fne stuff from
the track, and plastered up the cracks of the
door, and also stuffed Goals 10 the holes, which
stopped the smoke for some time. We now
had time for thought and. reflection. No one
expected to see daylight again, and said it
was a second Avondale.
We all sang hymns and prayed, calling up
on God, in His mercy, to save us, as we all
felt doomed beyond human aid. We ran
back and forth through the gangway for fresh
air. At 3:15 P. N. Patrick Farley fell and

Encouraging signs.

The New York Journal Of Commerce has a
calm and encouraging article on the signs that
it discerns in all parts Of the country, and
among men of all parties, in favor of a return
to constitutional government. 1t says:-"A
return to constitutional government This
should be the rallying cry Of all who would
save the country from the grave dangers that
threaten. The Income Tax, the Bayonet bill,
the Presidents war acts in relation to San
Domingo and Hayti, the inroads Of Congress
upon the independence of the Judiciary these
are but few Of the most notorious instances
of the facility with which constitutional pro-
visions are set aside when they stand in the
way of the mysterious designs Of the men now
in power. The habit will grow with tolera-
ton from the people; and unless they now
make successful stand against it, they may
wake up some morning to find the govern
ment changed not In fact only but in name,
and Dictator furnishing sword over the
ruins Of the Constitution at Washington"

The south---1t. SIN. and 1t. Suffering.


The south---Its Sins and Its Suffering.
Such is the caption of most remarkable
article which we find in the N. Y. Tribune
The same paper tells US that its editor was re-
Gently in Texas, having passed. of course,
through the disturbed" districts of the South,
and harrington distance no longer impedes
easy communication-obviously arrived at
the same conclusions for reaching which Gen..
Sherman, by this very Tribune, was so much
and so bitterly censured. Seeing, however,
is. believing" and there is ring of sincerity
about this effusion that is very impressive:
sour correspondents have now been so
long in the disturbed districts of the South,
that we can form from their letters distinct
idea of the state of society 10 that unfortu-
nate part of the Union. 1t is melancholy
picture that they draw for us. The most in
telligent, the influential, the educated, the
really useful men of the South, deprived of
all political power, have come to look upon
themselves as the outraged subjects of des-
potic conqneror. Taxed and swindled by
horde Of rascally foreign adventures, and by
the ignorant class, which only yesterday hoed
the fields and served in the kitchen, they care
nothing for politics except to throw off the
oppressive yoke; they have no interest in ma
tional affairs; they would call themselves Of
either party provided their rulers were only
of the other. The refuse of Northern cities,
who went southwark after the war, out at ell
bows, and destitute of character and educa-
ton, now rob in splendid carriages. drink
Fisk's and steal taxes as fast as New York
street commissioner. 1t is no wonder that
the impoverished planter, growing poorer
every day; the ex-Confederate officer, who
fought so bravely for cause in which he
honestly believed; the professional men, &C
customed all theirlives to hold Office and lead
the public sentiment of their communities,
look on such thugs with rancorous hearts,
They might submit to be ruled by soldiers
who have beaten them in battle; but here
they are plundered by suffers and campbell
lowers.
"Tbis is miserable state of things, indeed,
for republican governments burlesque
upon the suffrage, when the only restriction
upon voting is that the votes shall not be cast
for the most intelligent and virtuous citizens.
We have often warned our party in Congress
of the inevitable result of the vindictive me-
thod Of reconstruction. We have told them,
and we tell them again, that there is only one
way to restore the Union-universal amnesty
and impartial suffrage"
