SENATOR FENToN ON His TRAVELS. The last
report of Senator Fenton is that he has lately
been in Cincinnati, where his visit was not
appropriated to an inspection Of ''the institu-
tions," but to conference with some of the
leading anti-Grant politicians of the city. We
suspect, however, that the cunning Senator is
out West pipe-laying to head off Mr.. Greeley
as the farmers candidate for President of tho
Agricultural Bureau at Washington.

France and the Assemb.y-A Monarchy
or Republic.

or n Republic.
we publish to-day present, perhaps more
clearly than ever, the state of uncertainty ex-
isting among the people and the government of
that unfortunate country. President Theirs,
wishing to compliment the Deputies on the
manner in which they have acquitted them
selves in the Assembly, prepared lengthy
and elaborate message, which took more than
half an hour to read it, The document
stated that they had well earned sus-
pension after their arduous labors, and
in the meantime that he, the President,
intended to work necessarily for the reor-
ganization of the country But he is para
dox. After stating his own views upon the
condition of the country, he asked the Deputies
to 60 home and frankly ascertain from their
Constituents whether they wished for "recon-
struction based on the glorious traditions of a
thousand years, or for the Abandonment of the
ship of State to torrent leading to an unknown
future" President Theirs next exhorts the
members to work like a crew in danger

What does he mean? Does be mean
to infer that the GLORIOUS traditions"
of thousand years of monarchial
rule would be the best foundation on which to
base permanent government, or what might
be so-called? ? Or, on the other hand, does he
mean to tell the Assembly, and through them,
France and the world, that the republic of
which he is the recognized head is danger
Gus current and that the inference, or simile,
of shipwreck is the unknown future" of
which he speaks He will have puzzled not
only France, but every other civilized nation
by such statement. He could scarcely have
used more ambiguous language, which leaves
the same impression on the mind as the show
mans words to the little boy-"You pay your
money and you have right to choose"
The Assembly laughed at the message It
certainly is laughable; but in order that no
eccentricities may be carried on during their
leave Of absence, from the 18th of September
until the 4th of December, they have organ
lied committee Of twenty-five members to
watch the government. This is also para
dox, and will require considerable explanation.

THE DEMOCRACY OF MASSACHUSETTS,, taxi

in the radical party, have determined to make
a Jealous fight for the Governorsbip. John
Quincy Adams is the man they propose to
run, and if Butler succeeds in running two re-
publican tickets their chances are by no
means forlorD. This action of the democrats
is likely to impress upon the Republican Con-

this sort under way in the Twentieth ward Of

The Sa!zburg Commemorative Difficult Jobs


A cable despatch which we print this morn
ing, dated Salzburg, the 18th, informs us that,
since the departure of the Emperors William
and Francis Joseph, Prince Bismarck and
Count Won Beust and the other diplomats who
happen at present to be there have decided to
suppress the International Society and to set
tie the Schleswig- -Holstein question. Two diff
icult jobs, most certainly. Austria and Ger
many in holy Or unholy alliance can do much.
They may whip Russia and keep France in
order. But after they have done this, and
much more than all this, they may have to
confess that the International is too strong for
them. 1t is-s big task. Let them try it. AS
for the Schleswig- -Hostein difficulty, we sup
pose, if solution is possible, Austria and
Germany should be able to effect it. We have
little doubt that the solution of the difficulty
might be found more easy than the understand
ing>ef the question. 1t was Lord Palmerston,
we believe, who once said that the Schleswig-
Holstein question was thoroughly understood
by but two persons. One Of these persons
was German Professor, who died from the
efforts put forth to unravsl the tangled web.
The other was himself; but he had now for
gotten it. The Salzburg conference will not
have been held in vain if it removes from the
diplomatic arena this knotty problem. Den
mark had better be on her guard lest the set
tlement of the question should mean her an
initiation.

WENDELL PHILLIPS made strong speech in
favor of Butler for Governor, at Salisbury
Beach, Mass, yesterday. He said Butler (who
was presently would make better Governor
than any Massachusetts had had since the days
of Sam Adams, at which Butler complacently
simpered, and then added that he would

whether to frcwn or smile.

A DESPERATE FIGHT between drunken ruff
Hans and passengers occurred on a Second

which stones and other missiles were freely

stationed on these cars in citizens dress, under
Mayor Halls instructions some time ago?

THE LAST BATCH OF OFFICIAL THIEVES
The unfortunate magnates of our municipal
government are not destined to be alone in the
enjoyment of the unenviable notoriety they
have recently attained. Following closely
upon the charges Of corruption, the NAL
practices, frauds, burglaries, Investigations
and injunctions which just now hang like
dark cloud about the City Hall, comes defal-
cation of over one hundred thousand dollars
in the New York Post Office and robbery of
half million by the Deputy Paymaster of
the army at Washington. As the republican
organs have been blatant over democratic
plunderng for the past few weeks we may
expect now to witness return fire from the
democratic side and to hear volley after volley
discharged at the heads of the dishonest
radical officials Turn about is fair play. In
the meantime the stolen money, whether pur-
loined from the Finance Department, the Street
Department, the Post Office or the army chest,
all comes out of the pockets of the dear
people.

0 Woriingmen's Demonstration The
American InternntiOnaie.

American InternaiiOnaie.
There were twenty-five thousand working.
men, skilled mechanics and unsklled laborers,
in procession yesterday in favor of the enforce
ment of the Eight Hour law. The proportions
and characteristics of this procession were un-
usually suggestive. The rain in the morning
doubtless deferred many from taking part in
it, and the sidewalks all along the route were
lined with hardy-!ooking, rough-coated
fellows who were evidently workingmen too,
but from some cause or other had neglected to
join in the line If the weather had been
fine and these spectators had taken their
places in the procession, it would have been
the most immense demonstration of people
that New York has ever seen. 1t was
not partisan or particular in its ele-
ments. Americans and Irishmen pre-
dominated probably; but there was an
enthusiastic company Of Frenchmen carrying
banner with the inscription, "Comitf Inter-
national" who shouted "Vi0e la Rfpub-
Iq1e," and two or three solid and solemn
companies of Germans who, side by side with
the Stars and Stripes, carried the red, white
and black of united Fatherland; and in the
midst of all was company of colored men
with four of their best looking dignitaries
riding in carriage. 1t is difficult, indeed, to
sea why the enforcement of the Eight Hour
law, which has certainly not been painfully
or unusually agitated of late, should have
called forth so immense and enthusiastic and,
we must say withal, orderly and intelligent
an assemblage. Probably there were not one
hundred government employees, for whose
benefit alone the Eight Hour law has been
established, in the procession, nor one man in
the crowd who would be willing to work only
eight hours day if he were paid by the
piece, or who does not comprehend
that eight hours work means eight hours
pay. The present agitation about
matter of such little interest as the
Eight Hour law could alone have called forth
such an army Of earnest, orderly, well dressed
and intelligent workingmen as paraded the
streets of New York yesterday. The demon,
stration was rather meant as fraternization
Of the laboring classes of this city with the
great Internationale of Europe, that closely
welded and deep-pervading society that has
just begun to make itself felt in the kingly
capitals and imperial cities Of the Continent,
and boldly asserts itself in the streets of
London under the very eyes of the Queen, and
shouts its hurrahs in Phoenix Park within
hearing of the English Prince As such
demonstration it was complete. Its
elements were Of all nations, races and
colors, and if we were convinced that it
is fair counterpart as to intelligence and
decorum of the main society ITSELF we would
feel more sympathy for this strong giant,
that, just learning how to direct its strength,
aims to overthrow kin,s and kaisers and form
universal republic on the principles of the
rights of man and the just rewards Of labor.

FEARFUL HAIL STORM.

The severest hail storm that ever visited
the Valley passed over the northern por-
tion of Rockingham county, Va, ON Friday
evening last The hail was accompa-
MED with strong winds and great guam
tity of rain. 1t occupied very narrow
strip of country, not more than three miles
in its greatest breadth, and its course ex-
tended from West to East commencing at
the North Mountain, aud not losing its
force until it had reached the peaks on
Massanitten Mountain, distance of about
fourteen miles, great portion of it passing
over one Of the richest agricultural districts
of the county, that known as the Linnville
Creek district
In some places the hail was piled up to
the depth of twenty inches, and the next
day quantities were gathered by the people
and used in their houses. The section over
which it passed is completely ruined, so far
as this years crops are concerned. Large
corr fields that gave promise of a heavy
yield are entirely stripped, nothing but
the naked stocks left standing.
The district is completely barren. Forest
trees have had the leaves stripped from them,
and in many places present the same ap-
pearance as in winter.
The damage to the fruit is also very
great. Very large peach and apple Or
chards that wero filled with almost ma
tured fruit have the trees stripped not only
of the fruit but of the leaves and small
twigs. Henry Shoube, near Broadway
station, one of the largest fruit growers in
the valley, loses his entire stock Of peaches.
AS the storm approached Lacy Springs it
seemed to increase in violence. The in
habitants of many houses became SO fright
ened that they hid in their cellars to avoid
witnessing the terrible scene. A barn on
the Harrison farm, in which several persons
had taken shelter, was struck by lightning
and set on fire. The persons in the barn
were stunned by the lightning, but some of
them retained consciousness sufficient to
see the danger they were in and soon
stopped the flames.
A great many small domestic animals
were killed by the hail, such as pigs, sheep,
chickens, &c. A Agentlomen states that out
of one brush heap there were taken about
hundred dead birds that had taken shell
ter therein.
The loss by the storm is variously esti-
mated at from $3.50, 900 to $500, 600. .--Rich-

EscHoI, Perry Co., Pa, Aug. 0, 1871.
Ed. " Tin1eS"-Why do not the fruit
loving people of this county plant more
grape vines? Ten years experience and
close observation convince me that a greater
number of good crops can be obtained from
the vine than any other fruit-bearing plant
grown in this vicinity.
Where the apple crop proves very un-
certain, the grape is the most available
substitute. A succession of grapes may be
had from the last of August to the first of
April. Instead of apple-butter we may
have better article, at about the same
cost from grapes and ''new wine, THE
unfermented juice of the grape. uDcan
AS table fruit, the grape is superior.
For the varied demands Of the cuisiae the
grape supplies satisfactorily. the place of
variety of fruit.
For vinegar; for mince-pies, and pies
without the mince-meat; jellies Of every
shade of color, the grape has no equal. n
AS gentle invigorator in convalescence,
bunch of ripe grapes is worth ga power
of DOCTORS stuffs. @
A consideration of great weight, in this
connection, is, that a vine can be grown in
corner where it would be impracticable
to grow tree. tFHt a. ttDRflN 2
Nothing is more ornamental than vines

A New Phase of the Sunday Question.

Justice Ledwith, of Jefferson Market
Police Court of New York, has before
him for decision the new and rather embar-
RAISING question, whether Jew who keeps
the Jewish Sabbath can be compelled to be
idle on Sunday also, because Christian
congregation engaged in worship on that
day are disturbed by his working. The
precise fact of the case are, that the win
dows of the Aianson Methodist church in
Norfolk street open upon building where
a number of Jews are engaged in operating
sewing machines. The machines are silent
on Saturday, but on Sunday they make
such clatter that the Methodists are great
ly annoyed by it. The employer of the
operatives refuses to suspend work during
the continuance of the Methodist services
unless he is compensated for his loss of
time. This compensation the Methodists
refuse to make, and have applied to the
Police Court for assistance.

A Nice Judge.

The conduct Of citizen of Wilkesbarre,
one of the associate judges of the court for
Luzerne county, is inconsistent with his
position, and the least he can do is to i'm
mediately resign. He was lately inveigled
into gambling-den by some sharp New
Workers. who visited Wilkesbarre, seeking
whom they might devour, and the judge
after spending good portion of the day
there seeking a fortune at faro bank, left,
minus about $4,000 in money and con-
siderable more in reputation. 1t appears,
however, that he had given checks for the
money, and he shrewdly stopped payment
ON these, and the next day caused the ar
rest of the proprietor of the den and one of
the principal gamblers. In the evidence
of the judge it came out that he was in
duced to believe there was a wealthy Cali
fornian in the den, and that it would be
easy to "go through him, " in other words,
get his money, if he, the judge, would
Join with the New Yorker. Now, we sub
nit that man who can be influenced by
such motives is unworthy to hold any office,
however small, where honesty and integrity
are required, and much less, a seat on a
judicial bench The act was little less than
conspiracy to perpetrate highway rob
berry. True, the judge was the one to be
fieeced, as he might have known; but this
is no exoneration for him-for his intent
was to fleece another-or his want of prin-
ciples rather, by entering into the scheme,
thus bringing upon himself an unenyiable
notoriety.
