The south. it is well known, never
cared for manufacturing establishments
Knowing little of the value of such
establishments, and caring less, she was
for free trade Latterly other industries
than those that relate to the cultivation
of tbe soil have sprung up. Virginans
have gone extensively into the business of
gathering and grinding sumac. The
late tariff bill reported in Congress pro-
poses to do away with the duty on for
eign sumac. The sumac grinders hast
ened 10 Congress and asked it not to put
that article on the free list They are
not free traders. Free trade would ruin
their business. Once the south is dotted
over with manufacturing establishments
she will be as the sumac grinders are
heartily opposed TO free trade

NEVER can the Republican party
shield itself behind OF borrow Demo
cratic tricks. Few people doubt that the
Democratic State Senator Mr.. Dechert
from the First district was counted in
many believe the same as regards Col
Gray, the Republican Senator from the
Fourth district. 1t would utterly dis.
grace the Republicans of the State Sen
ate if they followed the example of the
Democrats who refused hearing to Mr..
Lyndall, the Republican contestant o!
NJ. Dechert, lnconce;vably mistaken
are these Republicans who quote this
bad precedent against Colonel A. X. Nc
Clure, the contestant of Colonel II. w.
Gray. They wholly mistake Republican
opinion. They forget that the honest
Republican party is the country. Hence
we are right glad they were compelled to
give Mcclure fair show If he cannot
prove his case, let him go to the wall if
he can, let him go in.-Press.

Two Presidential tickets are already in

publicans will nominate President Grant
that will make the third ticket Just what
the Democrats will 90 is not yet known
1t would be big step for them to walk
out of the miry slough of slavery on to
the platform adopted by the Labor Re-

that they will join the temperance move
ment; though the real fact of the matter
is, there is no knowing what they will do
Iney are famous at somer saulting. 'Tis
a cross-eyed look with them. They are
looking two ways at one time. They are
looking at the Labor Reformers and at

GREAT FIRE IN sELINSGROyE !!
&c BUILDINGS DEsTRoYED-Loss ESTIMATED Al
$4,000.

/
$4,000.
About 10 o'clock on Wednesday even
ing of this week, a fire was discovered
in John Apps stable, in Selisgrove,
which spread until it became the most
destructive conhagration that has yet
visited that town.
The classes of establishments and
stock burned were as follows: l dry
goods store, hardware store, Tribune
printing office, telegraph Office, Baptist
church, s dwelling houses, l3 stables, 4
horses, cows and hogs.
All the stables from where The fire began
to the north end of the square were con-
sumed, The flames then turned to the
residence and store of p. r. Wagensel-
ler; thence to the drug store of Shindel
& Wagenseler; thence to the residence
of Mrs B. Scoch; thence to the hard
ware store of G. II. Boyer; thence to
Soyer & Miler's shoe store, and thence
to Water street, igniting the roof of the
Baptist church, where it might have been
stayed, but, as all were interested in
saving their individual property, it was
allowed to burn, and the flames then
spread to the large brick store house
owned by Mr. Horton, of Mt. Joy, which
was consumed, together with four or five
additional residences.
The flames, famed by brisk wind,
burned furiously until about 8 clock
A NJ, when it was checked. A messen-
ger was sent to Sunbury for aid, but Sun
bury is supplied with but one steam fire
engine, and the fire being doubtless the
work Of incendiarie4. the people of Sun
bury deemed it imprudent and unsafe
to allow it to leave town; for, by so
doing, the incendiary torch might be ap
piled to their own premises, and the de-
struction might have been very great
A rough calculation places the loss at
Sl20000, $50, 900, of which is insured

State Treasurer Mackey has issued
his report. The Pittsburg Ttnss speaks
of it in the following terms:
The report of Safe reasurer Mackey,
just out, proves the fact that he is ably
qualified and eminently fitted for ;he high
trust reposed in him by the people of tnis
commonwealth. The finances of the State
have never been so thoroughly under
stood and managed with such signal abil-
ity in the interests of the people as they
are by the present head of the treasury
The receipts of the past year are sS6l,-
3i2.3S in excess of the receipts for the
previous fiscal year. The expenditures
for 1871 exceed those of 1870 by s5Ss.-
1864, the excess being occasioned by
the increased amount of debt redemption
This shows a close collection of the reve-
nue. and proper application of the funds
when collected.

This train ran the distance, l4O 5 miles,

SOUTHERN papers are pleased over the
bare probability of a war between the
United States and England, in the event
Of which they threaten to renounce then
connection with this government. A
few years under English rule would sat.
i=fy them The British would stop their
rport at Kukluxing as they stopped The
work of the mutineers in India. They
would blow a few of them into atoms
from the cannon's mouth. They have a
summary way of disposing of such
people. If it were possible to allow the
southern people to have little of Eng
lish rule the effect would be highly beue-
fcial; they would for generations remem-
Der it, and appreciate the leniency that has
been meeted to them.

The Labor State Bureau.


An exchange says: The Legislature
of Pennsylvania has at present under
consideration a bill providing for the
establishment of labor bureau, to be
under the superintendent of competent
officer, whose duty it shall be to make a
thorough inquiry into the condition of la
Dor throughout the State, and present an
annual report showing how far the en-
ployment system, and the combinations
and strikes resulting from it, affect the
permanent prosperity of the Common
wealth. Now their is no State in the
Union that has stood so much in need of
just such bureau as the one proposed
Its labor interests have been so notorious
for bad management that strikes have
been looked for and have occurred with
as much regularity as the changing of
the seasons-and all, we have no doubt,
owing the lack of judicious legislation.

THE OLD GUARD.

The "Crack" Corps OF New York Cele-
brating the Anniversary OF Their First
Parade-The Noble Appearance OF tho
Gray-Haired Veterans-Thc Fun OF
Youth Not Forgotten-A Banquet Mt
the st. Germain.
The Oldest and most dtstingue military corps OF
the city celebrated yesterday Its annual parade.
The 'Old Guard" is composed OF some OF the most
known, successful, respected and brilliant metro
politans. and it has grown to be almost a custom
that the membership should pass from father to
son, SO that the richest families have been and are
represented in its ranks
The first organization Of this body was made In
the year 1926 1t was then called the "Light
Guard" In 1882 1t was rechrlstened the "City
Guard" and In 1858 It's name was changed to that
OF the "Old Guard" expressive of the honor and
brhancy of Its career. Most OF its present men,
bers gained some distinction in the war and won
grades of honor by services which have not en-
tirely passed from the memories OF that period.
Yesterdays parade was the second since 1858,
imposing, as has ever happened In the streets OF
New York. Every rank was composed almost en-
OF life, and whose heads are crowned
with honorable gray, and the younger
warriors were only such as were growing into the
places OF their ancestors as the latter grow older
and more to be venerated The uniform Of the
Guard is the finest in the service. The coat is
light creamy color, with gold ornamcntation,
and the trousers are blue, with golden stripes
They wear huge bearskin cap, ike that of the
pioneers" OF the ordinary militia when on parade,
only much larger The Major, George w. Mclean
United States Army, was yesterday In command
The procession was mustered at the armory OF the
Seventy-1rst regiment, and marched down through
Broadway, Broad and Wall streets, and then up to
the st. German HOTEL Here was spread generous
banquet for about two hundred persons, which
passed OF in the happiest manner. The Dauntless
Band-the one which was led by Dodworth thirty
years ago. and which paraded at the head OF the
corps-was in attendance. Humor and convivial
ity were the spirit OF the occasion, which full
OF old time enjoyment for the rcjnvenated veterans
Very felicitous speeches were made by the Pres-
dent OF the Guard Aleck Henrques; Major Nc
Lean Colonel Henry Allen, OF the United states
Train OF Artillery oil Providence; "Oony Gooft,"
Colonel Rockefeller, OF the Seventy-frst regiment
and Daniel A. Mathews Secretary of the Guard
Sergeant "Ben" Gurney kept the table I'm roar
with ebullitons OF his Irresistible fun. Vice Pres-
dent Henry Moulton sang with spirit OF an old
campaigner
After the banquet the corps formed in the street
and marched TO the armory of the Seventy first
regiment. Here, after the dismissal there was
some impromptu jubiation, in the midst OF which
Mr. Gus Phillips "dold aboud his nice lidde Lousap
and ''Schneder's rite dwendy miles away from
Brooklyn to Coney Island. Sergeant ''Sandy'i
Slater and "Old Joen Naylor, two OF the Oldest
Guardsmen, received the congratulations OF their
comrades on the happy celebration OF the day
with jocose nghtheartedness that did them honor.
