Weather Record.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Aug. ~ 80 p. NJ.
The barometer has fallen since Sunday after
noon; slightly at the Rocky mountain stations,
and very considerably from Ohio to Kansas
and the northwest The pressure has increased
rapidly from New Jersey to Alabama, where it is
now falling, but the highest pressure still re-
mains on the south Atlantic coast. Southeast
erly winds are now reported from Chesapeake
bay to Massachusetts, but southerly winds pre-
vail very generally in the southern and gulf
states Partially cloudy and clear weather has
prevailed from Pennsylvania to Maine and west
ward to Lake Michigan, but cloudy and threat
ening weather has increased from Tennessee
northeastward into Ohio and rain is reported
from the gulf coast.
The barometer will probably fall very gener-
ally east of the Mississippi, the lowest pressure
remaining north and west of Illinois, The con-
ditions will remain favorable for local storms
from Missouri TO Lake Superior and east of
Louisiana. Threatening weather will probably
very generally prevail during the night from
Tennessee and North Carolina to Lake Ontario,
and cloudy weather with few local storms
will probably extend over New England on
Tuesday afternoon.

Col. John NJ. Council of Lancaster, Ohio,
having been invited by the democratic state
executive committee to enter the pending can
vass as speaker responds by a letter addressed
to Senator Thurman, chairman, which falls in
the democratic ranks like bomb shell. Col
COnnell declines to enter the canvass on the
ground that the party is conducting it under
false pretenses, and with leader, Col. McCook
who did not receive the nomination. He says
had hoped that such wise Counsels would
have prevailed at our state convention as to
have almost insured our success; in which
event would have given all of labor, influence
and strength have to noble cause for which
| have heretofore labored. But Sin the house
of its friends" at that convention, were
dealt the deadliest blows TO the democ-
racy it has yet received.
The voters OF our party are not uninformed Of
the false position the party is placed in. They
know we are going before the people this fall
with at least two untruths glaring conspicuous
on our front. First, they know that Colonel
McCOok was not nominated governor, and that
his principal competitor led him on the first
ballot, when the uDaceountable mistake or
fraud occurred in the announcement of the
vote which scores of delegates knew to be false;
and they will soon learn how shocked were the
friends of our de lacto candidate for governor;
who believed him TO be too heightened and
sensitive to stand in his present disagreeable
position, when they discovered that he per-
ultlcu 10 bllupl1 say Ill
regard to the fraud or mistake in the nomina.
ton, that they could only "hope that it would
not get Oui."
This, however, is a small matter compared to
the falsehoods expressed in the party platform,
When the convention took upon itself to declare
that the democracy of this state recognized as
accomplished facts the two latest (so-called)
amendments to the constitution and regard
them as no longer political issues before the
country, it stated an untruth. Nothing in the
politics, then or now, has more affected the
hearts and minds of democratic voters than
these, their denominated dead issues. And
when, in the second resolution, the convention
undertook to say that "the democratic party
pledges itself to the full, faithful and absolute
execution and enforcement OF the constitution las
it now is, so as to secure equal rights to all
persons under it, without distinction of race,
color, or condition." it exceeded its authority
and simply asserted what was known to be
falsehood. If the democratic party is moribund,
then its political priests may be allowed to die
tate to its confessions of sins of their defining.
But they have certainly made the party to APP
pear like the dying African, who, when asked
by his preacher If he was ready to die, and
whether he had forgiven his enemies, and es-
pecially his colored neighbor, between whom
and himself there had long been feud, an
swered: of Fse gwine to die, l forgive him; but
if gets WELL dat darkey had better look out
for hisself"

in Southbridge, where the Judge was in the
morning, but owing to the cases on the docket
in Webster he went there and held a session.
Adams Carpenter of Sutton, known to all
horse fauciers in New England as "Ard Carpen-
ter" died at his home on Saturday. He has for
many years dealt in trottng horses and fancy
stock, and has trained several very fast ones
for the turf AS an illustration of his faculty
in controlling horses and getting the speed out
of them, q story used to be told, the gist of
which was, that when boy he ran away from
school one afternoon and begged the chance to
ride one of the horses in small race that was
to be run by the two fastest animals in the
neighborhood. He was allowed to get on, and
the horse riden by him won the race, He then
began bantering the other rider, telling him
that he would change horses with him and also
win, which he did, changing several times. and
always coming in ahead. From that time for
ward he was a track driver, and generally drove
the winning horse, His oddities will be missed
at the agricultural fairs this fail.

New YORK. Aug. THE Erie lighting ex-
press from the west was thrown from the track
at Shohala, nineteen miles west of Port Jervis,
at about two o'clock this morning, by an unac-
countable blunder of the switchman, who,
when the train was within Il few rods of the
switch, deliberately displaced it, The train was
not moving more than fifteen miles an hour,
and was promptly stopped by the engineer with
out serious disaster, though all the cars were
thrown from the rails. Some of the passengers
were injured, though had the train been under
full speed a serious loss of life would have been
inevitable, as the Delaware river flows eighty feet
below the scene of disaster. The switchman APP
pears TO have been asleep, and acted uncon-
sciously. The train reached this city seven
hours and half behind time.
