NATIONAL CAMP GROUNDS, URBAEA, o.,
Aug. 1.-The services of the Eight Ma
ttonal Camp Meeting begun here this
evening. Already visitors are arriving in
considerable numbers, and the attendance
promises to be very large.
The Rev. Jno. lnskip, superintendent,
whose attack by partial paralysis was an
nounced some days since, is rapidly con-
valescent, and he will be able to conduct
the exercises as usual. Ample arrange
ments have been made for the accom-
mediation of visitors, and the grounds are
easily accessory from Urbano.
LATKR-The services of the camp
meeting were formally opened this after
noon under the conduct of Rev. Jno. S.
Inskip, Presidtn of the National Camp
Meeting Association. Mr. Inskip was in
excellent voice, and appeared to have en-
tirely recovered from his late illness.
About 40 ministers and nearly 1000 lay
men are here in attendance, and all the
indications are that the gathering will be
a success in point of numbers Among
the prominent ministers present is the
venerable Thos. A. Morris, Senior Bishop
of The Methodist Episcopal Church. All
the tents erected by the committee have
been rented and there is demand for a
large additional number, which cannot
be supplied. The services this afternoon
was merely initiatory and explanatory of
the objects of the meeting. MIR. Inskip,
after reading the rules governing the
meeting, made desultory and informal
talk of about an hour, giving rather
random relation of his experience at SINH
lar meetings in other places. Preaching
services were held tonight under the
shelter of the west canvas tabernacle.

OHIO.
Another BOrgia.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1.-Some three or
four years ago, Peter Bufiuburger, an
old and respected citizen of London,
Ohio, died under circumstances that led
many of his friends to believe that he had
been slowly poisoned by his wife, ADge-
lima, to whom he had been but shortly
married. Bufinburger was very wealthy,
and it is supposed that her object was to
obtain possession of the property and
share it with man named Colburn, with
whom she was on terms of improper
intimacy. The matter was allowed TO
rest until recently, when the body was
exhumed, and the stomach, which was
found in good stste of preservation,
wss submitted to chemical analysis. The
presence of arsenic was discovered, and
on Saturday last q warrant was issued for
the arrest of Angelina, who in the mean
time had married Colburn. II is reported
that she has been arrested, and will be
brought to Ohio for trial for murder.
Colburn is now engaged in the banking
business in New York, the capital, it is
supposed, having been furnished from
Bufinburger's estate.
NEW YORK, August 1.-The reported
arrest of a lady at London, Ohio, is dis

emancipation Anniversary-A Seri-
Gus Disturbance.
CINJNNATb Aug. There was q
= ho -
the emancipation of the slaves in the West
Indies, with a ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, at New Richmond, Ohio, to-
day. About 5000 colored people, with
colored battalion, went up on steamers
from this city. Fully 1000 persons were
present at New Richmond, large num-
Der being there from adjacent towns and
villages. Speeches were made by Gen.
Noyes, the Republican candidate for
Governor; Col. L. II. Bond, Peter II.
Clark and d. Ameck, of this city. Gen.
Noyes spoke only ten minutes, alluding to
his long friendship for the colored peo-
pie, which had shown itself as early as
the existence of the liberty of the party.
1t was probably the largest gathering of
people ever held in Ohio.
There was serious disturbance on the
way between lot of roughs on the
steamer st. Marys and some of the hands
on the st. Charles, lying at Hamilton's
Dock Yard, together with the employees
of the ship yard, in which boulders and
coal were literally used and number of
pistol sho:s were fired. No one was
seriously hurt as far as heard. The
masses of colored people were in no way
responsible, the whole thing growing out
of the presence of few lawless men.

HOLOCAUST.

Ninety-seven bodies found, and still
dredging the harbor for more! Over two
hundred manned, mutilated and scalded,
many of whom will die, while many
Others will be cripples for life. Such Is
the appalling resume of the catastrophe
in New York harbor last Sunday. Civil
izstion has its massecres as well IS the
Cheyennes and the Communists. The
woes of Wyoming have been the theme
of pen and paint and poet for hundred
wears; but that dread 9Th of July, 1776,
did not claim SIS many victims as this
3Oth July, 1871.
When the national birthday ushered in
our community the horrors of Bridge No.
2. there was universal demand for some
system of public inspection whereby
these murderous, mis-called accidents
might be presented. But this New York
''accident," with It's three hundred of
victims, proves that such system, long
established, may lapse by negngence'
The fatal boiler had passed inspection,
and was provided with q self-acting
safety-valve, under a sealed lock that
could not be tempered with. II the negro
engineer, knowing the weakness of his
boiler, had paid attention to the ample
warning of the safety valve, New York
would not have been plunged into dis
tress more poignant than that caused by
the late riots. If the Government In
spector had made sure that the boiler
was strong enough to stand strain of
two extra pounds until the safety-valve
could ''blow off" that small surplus,
thousand homes would not be now IL
mourning. Some one merits conolgr
punishment; and it would be more nu
name to hang few Of these thoughtless
murderers occasionally, than to sscrlnc'

THE Boston Pilot, one of the most
prominent of Catholic journals, closes
some sensible remarks on the recent riot
IS follows:
eThere are two ways of getting rid of
this apple of discord. The first is by an
agreement between the general irish
population and the Orsngemen, foregoing
all right to parade, and expressing their
determination never to hold professions
Tor political objects alone. This, we may
rest assured will not be easily agreed to.
The second one is the best, and the one
that mustc come in the end, when America,
tired out and indignant with her sqush'
bling population, puts her foot down
with a will and tells them sIl-German,
French, Irish, Ofange-'You have had
enough now. There is only one flag to
be raised in the future in this country,
and that flag is the stars and stripes.
