constitution of the United States as it now is;
for, until the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments were adopted, the federal constitu-
ton did not embOdy the doctrine of human
rights as set forth in the immortal Declaration.
In our foreign policy, we rest the honor of
the government upon peace and prestige,
prestige which commands peace, peace which
adds to our prestige. Our diplomatic history,
from the first inauguration of Washington down
to the present hour, contains no other chapter
so brilliant us that which records the recent
treaty with Great Britain, powerful nation,
not only led to do us justice in the matter of
debts and dues, but in that less palpable, but
more enduring, reparaton which, by acknowl-
edging error, removes the source of irritation,
and gracefully heals the wounds of pride; thus
bringing to the adjustment of national differ
ences the knightly courtesy and Christian spirit
which mark the intercourse of true gentlemen.
When we reflect on the namelesS and unim-
aginable misery and wretchedness inflicted on
hundreds Ui thousands by the late war between
France and Prussia, the vast number that were
slain, the still yaster number less kindly dealt
with in their cruel wounds and maimings, the
hardly less cruel burden of debt and tax falling
upon all alike, we may, in some faint degree,
measure the blessings of the policy that avoids
war and secures a peace founded upon justice
and upon honor
Our differences with England were of the
gravest possible character. Those between
France and Prussia were but trivial in COMPARE
son. The latter were settled by an appeal to
arms and frightful war; it is to the highest honor
of an administration at whose head stands a
victorious soldier that the former were adjusted
in spirit of that great beatitude which was
given to us in the Sermon on the Mount.
But, gentlemen, must close. have detained
you too long already, and were to claim your
attention while | recited the achievements Of
the republican party during the period Of its
national power, night itself would give place to

tinent untrodden to-day by the foot of slave.
| point you to constitution rounded and per-
fected in all the elements of civil rights and
personal liberty. point you to credit and cur
rency that bore us triumphantly through the
Severest of wars, and have assured to us the
amplest prosperity in time of peace. | point
you to nation of forty millions of people, the
treest happiest, most prosperous on the globe;
and, finally, point you TO the fact that the poll
cies and measures which commanded these
great results were the policies and measures of
the republican party.

number OF their towns-people, and relatives and

PITTsToN, Pa, Aug. 16.--Au investigation
into the cause Of the Eagle shaft disaster will be
held tomorrow. Inspector Blewitt is in doubt
whether the explosion was caused by the fall of
the ROOF, or was itself the result of such fall
Harris, the fire boss, had during the morning
twice explored the working portions ofthe mine
and found them safe Some think that by the
fall occurring carburetted hydrogen gas was
driven from some of the old chambers, where it
is known to have existed, down upon the miners
lamps, thus causing the explosion. Mr.. Smiles,
the Pittston and Elmra coal companys super
intendent, says that the accumulation of the
fire damp had been standing in some unap.
proachable part of the min for some time, and
the fall of the coal forced the gas upon the
naked lamp, thereby causing an explosion,
throwing down an immense amount Of coal or
rock, which completely covered the brattice and
stOppings, and thereby retarded the current of
air. The men probably died from suffocatiOn.
The driver boys who were burned might have
become insensible from the explosion of gas.
There is no evidence to support the theory that
the men died by the conclusion of rushing air.
The men, when found were not lying in POI
sition to indicate that they survived for any con-
siderable length Of time after the explosion oc-
CURED. They were lying in groups, such as if
they might have been at the instant the ex-
ploSiOn occurred. The son of Daniel Owens
(Richard) was found casped in his fathers
arms; the boy was badly burned, and the father
was not.

screams of his wife, Mrs. Davis. Her sister ran
to the room, and found Mrs Davis sitting on
the bed. AS soon as she entered the room Mrs.
Davis said, IL am bleeding to death; run out
and call some ofthe neighbours" after which she
sank down on the bed liteless corpse. On ex-

From Washington.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 16.-Vincent Col
yer telegraphs from Santa Fe, 18th: Rowing
Apaches are rapidly coming in. There are 200
at Corrudos de los AlamOs, and 500 at Fort
Stanton. Runners have been sent out from diff
ferent points, giving the Apaches fair warning,
that if they want peace they must come to the
reservation designated. The Utes are seriously
discontinued, and should be promptly attended
to. The NavajOes are quiet. They have over
10000 sheep, and will be self sustaining in a
few years. The Puebla schools are well at
tended.
DECISION CONCERNING BANKS.
The comptroller of currency has decided that
the national banks designated as repositories
for the new loan are not obliged to hold a re-
serve upon the funds paid into the bank upon
subscription to that loan and deposited to the
credit of the United States government basing
his decision upon the ground that the law gives
to the secretary of the treasury power to pre-
scribe regulations under which national banks
may be made government repositories and
what amount and kind of securities shall be re-
quired of banks for safe keeping and prompt
payment of government deposits. The secre-
tary of the treasury makes a special arrange
ment with the banks, which is satisfactory to
the government, and hence there is no necessity
for the banks to hold Il reserve in addition to
the other securities required This ruling is APP
proved by Secretary Boutwell,, but does not APP
ply to any other government deposits Those
spcClncu IuuuS uCpOolteu
under general regulations are still to be pro-
tected by the proper reserve of lawful money.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Assistant Secretary Hartley will not return to
Washington until the end of the present month,
and Secretary Boutwell, will not leave this city
until about the same time. Mr.. Saville, the
chief clerk of the treasury, has returned and
resumed his official duties.
THE INSURANCE RENEWAL TAX.
Commissioner Douglas, in a lei ter to Collector
Ames, of Providence, R. l., to-day, reversed
Commissioner Pleasonton's decision that any
writing, whether called receipt or otherwise,
which contains a contract to continue in force
policy of insurance which has not expired, is
exempt from stamp duties. Commissioner
Douglas holds that any written contract, made
in the form of a receipt or otherwise, which re-
news or continues policy requires the same
stamp as the original policy, whether the re-
newal receipt be given before or after the expira
ton of the policy. The stamp tax referred to
yields the government about half million Of
dollars per Rnnum.
NO TROOPS TO SPARE.
The war department declines to comply with
the request of Gov. Potts of Montana, for more
troops to protect settlers in Gallatin Valley, on
account of the limited force now available for
the defense of that region, and because the In
dams rarely raid twice over the same ground.
