The following from Washington is
significant Of the condition of the Key
stone State:
1t is4arned that the conference which
was h0N in Philadelphia between prom
inont t4ends of the Administration and
Col. Forncy, to see if some compromise
could not be effected to heal tho differ
enccs in The Republican party in Penn
sylyania, has utterly failed. 1t is con-
coded that there will he no change in
the State Radical ticket, and that n
Democratic victory, rs consequence, in
October, will be an easy one. Forney,
in an editorial in the Press, again de-
nounccs the Republican candidate for
Governor, and then says: but neither
SANDER and utilization, nor entreatics,
from the mistaken friends of President
Grant, nor Prollors non threats of any
kind, can induce us to stultify ourselves
and violate the tacit compact between
the Press and its readers, by which we
are bound not to advocate the election
Of men whose u~nftness is plainly cstab-
lisled."

An Appeal to the Southern People.


The Southern Cross Brotherhood, of
Richmond, Va, has issued acircular ap-
pealing To the Southern people to aid
them in raising sufficient funds Several
thousand dollars are needed to remove
the bodies of Confederate soldiers from
Gettysburg to Hollywood Cemetery.
The circular says:
Our order is composed Of Confeder-
ate soldiers alone who had an unblcm-
ished record during the war. Its OBJ
jects aro to pcrpetuato the memory and
heroism Of our fallen comrades, TO aid
the families Of our former hrsthron in
arms who need assistance, and to try
and preserve the truth and purity OF
history.
We are now specially engaged in the
sacred duty of raising funds to assist
Hollywood Memorial Association in re-
moving the remains Of our noble dead
from Gettysburg and other points, where
they arc neglected and mistreated, to
Hollywood Cemetery, near this city,
where through the untiring efforts Of
our ladies', an honorable resting place
is provided and an enduring monument
erected to their memory; and where,
protected and cared for, they can year
" receive the honor bestowed on our
Memorial Day" in decorating their
graves with flowers. There are yet at
Gettysburg the remains of near one
thousand bodies; they are from nearly
all tho States; aud when we say,
in some instances, the heartless wretch.
es Of the vicinity where they fell and
lie are ploughing their bones about as if
they were dogs, it is enoughto make the
blood Of decent humanity boil, and the
pocket-of all who are not false to feel
ing-falso to principle-falso to a cause
nee dear-open to remove these heroes
from such indiguity and inhumanity.
Into whatever hands this appeal falls,
We beg you to aid us in this cause, in
which our whole soul is enlisted. Ask
your friends to aid you. Do not hest
tate because you cannot give much; re-
member, as drops make an ocean, 50
many small contributions will make a
goodly sun.

DEATH OF JUAREZ.
The Great Mexican Leader and Pres.
ident.

luent,
From the COurier-Journsl.l
Scarcely one Of our readers will note
without regret the dispatch from the
gallant General Rocha, at Monterey,
announcing the death Mt the City of
Mexico, July 18th, of apoploxy, of Be
nito Juaroz, since January 18th, 1853,
fourteen years and six months, the sole
constitutional President Of the repub-
lie Of Mexico. The t~ireless patience
and wonderful persistency of the man
admirably fitted him for the difficult
position which he alone of all rulers of
Mexico has well filed. Ofhim alone Of
the long list of short-liyed Presidents,
diciators, emperors of That r%ebel-cursed
people al it be truly said that he has
eyec enaeayored to keep the charge for
merry given the consuls OF Rome, to
look to it that the republic suffer no dot-
riment, Like Aristogoiton, he was the
marble lover Of liberty aud the frequent
cutlery against him has had origin in
tue fact Of his rigid adherence TO his
constitutional obligations-an adhcr-
ence as marked and answering as it is
and will doubtless remain in the tumuit
Of Mexican politics anomalous. What
his position will be when the future shall
strike tho balance between hates and
friendships of an active LIES battle, we
may not venture to predict; but, unless
all contomporaneous judgment is inval-
id, he must rank first and chiefest of
Mexicans.
Benito Juarcz was born in 1907 in
Villa Juarez then called Jatlan,) in the
State Of Oaxaca. In 1916 he came
prominently into public life as a mem
Der Of Congress. From 1913 to 1852,
and again in 1856, he oficiated as Gov
ernor of Oaxaca, a hot-bed Of revolution,
which his wise administration pacifcn-
ted. In 1853 he was bauished by Santa
Anna, and resided two years in New
Orleans. Soon after his return he was
made Minister of Justice, by President
Alyares. In November, 1857, President
Comonfort made him Secretary of State
for which post he vacated the Cover
norship of Oaxaca. He WAS almost im.
mediately advanced to the position of
Chief Justice of the Republic, for which
his splendid legal education admirably
qualified him, and two months later be-
came Comonfort's successor by virtue
of the constitutional provision.
From this time his history is the his
tory Of the Republic. He has subdued
two very serious rebellions, each ofwhich
threatened to engulf his government,
and enc obstinate foreign invasion, in n
war of three years duration. He has
twice entered his capital in triumph,
and is there permitted to die, just as he
has successfully quolled the revolution
headed by his old companion in arms,
Porfrio Diaz. All Mexico will mourn.

The Experience Of an Onicc.Seeker

The meeting was had. After some
assurances and hints from Dent, the ap-
pl.cant for the appointment Logan to
see what was wanted, and the figures
were named. He Immediately went to
the Shoe and Leather bank, III the city
of New York, and drew the sum Of s.

the Astor House, and gave it to Dent

that he was to be appointed on o com

Greeley'S Wedding Day.
Correspondence of the SUM-

Day after tomorrow will he the thir-
ty-siXth anniversary of an event Of the
first Importance in the annals Of this
quiet village, and in the lite of our next
President, 1t was on the 9th day Of
July, 1885, that Horace Greeley was uni
ted in the holy bonds of matrimony with
Miss Mary G. Cheney, of Warronton.
The suspicious event came about in this
wise: Miss Cheney, q young lady of re-
markable fine person and accomplish
ments, a native of New England, WAS
engaged in teaching in this place. She
WAS no doubt afiianced to Mr.. Greeley
before she left her Northern home, as
tradition and the recollection of the old
est inhabitant furnish no evidence of q

HORACE GREELEY's WEDDING.


The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. VIA, J. Norwood, i'll the modest
little Episcopal church Of which he was
then rector, and which still stands en-
powered among a grove Of noble elms
md aspens. The bridesmaid was Miss
Elizobeth Bragg, sister Of the late Gov
ernor and Senator of that Dame, and of
General Braxton Bragg. Her attend
ant, Alexander Yancey, Esq, became her
future husband and the happy couple
emigratcd to West Tennessee many
years ago. Mr.. Norwood still lives as
rector Of d church in Richmond.
1t is even remembered that ona Of our
prominent citizens rendered Mr.. Greeley
the use of his carriage on the occasion.
But the must curious circumstance con-
ncctcd with the event is the ancient
legal requirement which it recalls. In
colonial times, when currency consisted
of pounds, shillings, and pence, the law
made it necessary to give bond that
there existed 10 lawful cause or impede
ment to obstruct the marriage; and
among these impediments extreme pow
erty and ~incapacity to support a family
whereby the parish might be involved in
expense was one Hence the necessity
for bond. The following is an exact
copy. The absence of DIR. Groeley's
name shows that the bond WAS then re-
garded as a useless form, which involved
no real penalties:

Correction.

A oarelessly-worded despatch from
Charleston by friend to the family Of
Captain Trezevant here, led us into soma
errors. yesterday, in relation to the re-
lease OF Captain Trezevant on ha5eas
corpus before Judge Bryan. The final
hearing has not yet been had. The true
state of the case, as derived from the
counsel for the defence, who arrived here
yesterday. is that Judge Bryan, having
determined to hear Captain Trezevant's
case on its merits, has instructed
Commissioner Boozer to take tho tes-
timony, both for the prosecution and
defence in Chester, and report it to him;
and in the meantime has discharged
Captain Trezevant on recognizance, with
sureties, to appear and abide his deci-
sion. The statements relative to per-
jured testimony, etc., were derived from
other sources, and, Of course, counsel
for the defence is in no wise responsible
for them.

person has been seized in open day in

ried to the American side, and whether
there had been any communication on
the subject with the United States or
Imperial Government. Sir John Mac
Donald replied that few days ago the
Government. was informed by telegraph
OF the arrest OF person in the manner
mentioned in the newspapers, and in
structions were at once given to send
down depositions and statements of facts
and evidence. Those papers were re-.
oeived yesterday, and upon them re-
port had been prepared and submitted
to her Msjesty's Minister at Washing
ton, in order that representations in the
matter might be made to the United
