Fires in Franklin County.

The Chambersburg Opinion Of the 18th
inst, says:
A great fire has been raging for about a
week past near and about Mount Parnel
and Franklin furnace. We are told that
the Franklin furnace company have sus-
tanned very serious loss in cord wood
about $500 cords having been consumed.
The people are out fighting the fire, but
owing to extreme dryness of the weather.
have been unable to subdue the element.
1t is with the greatest difficulty that they
have succeeded in keeping the fire from
running into the settlement. Another
informant says that the village of Loudon
was in great danger of being destroyed on
Friday and Saturday, and that about 200
persons were out endeavoring to keep the
fire within the bounds of the mountain
district.
Since the above was put in type, we have
learned of still greater destruction of prop
erty, and the loss of life by the fire at the
same furnace. Six thousand cords ofwood
having been cut and piled in pits for the
purpose of converting into charcoal, caught
from the burning timber in the vicinity,
and was soon reduced to ashes, entailing a
loss of probably $4,000. All the hands
that could be spared from the furnace were
hard at work fighting the enemy, but their
efforts were futile.
On last Wednesday, a wood-chopper,
whose name we were unable to learn, see
ing the fire approaching, ran to his cabin
to carry to place of safety some of his
effects, was surrounded by the fire. lie re-
mained in the cabin until the heat drove
him forth. BY this time the entire noun
tain on all sides was glowing furnace. To
remain was certain death to try to work
his way out, was his only chance, and he
ran toward a little mountain stream hoping
to reach it in safety, but he reckoned with
out his host and before he reached the
stream, his clothing took fire, and was ter
ribly burned. A party of men knowing
that he was in the vicinity of the fire, and
fearing the result, started out to hunt him.
He was found lying in the stream suffering
great agony, although conscious. From
him they learned the particulars as we have
related them above. He fingered only a
short time, when death came to his release.
His body was taken to Shippensburg, where
he resided, on Friday.

Death of one of Barnum's CannIbals.

On last Tuesday morning one of the
Cannibals belonging to Barnum's show
died at York. He had been i'll for some
days and had been sent to n. Y. for treat
ment, but becoming lonesome there and
desiring the company Of his associates, had
Joined them at Chambersburg.
Shortly after the corpse was placed in the
coffin, Mr.. s. s. Smith, the keeper locked
the door upon the three companions m an
adjoining room, and left the bulldog for
the purpose Of consulting with the mana
ger at the National Hotel He states that
he was not absent thirty minutes, but that
upon returning, scene presented itself too
horrible to detail.
The two male associates had gained ac-
cess to the corpse, and were biting and
gnawing at the fleshy part of the body with
all the eagerness of the native cannibalsm
The female stood aloof in one corner, and
by sign, word and gesture, was entreating
them to desist. 1t is understood that this
woman is convert to the teachings of
English missionaries, and looks with abhor-
renee upon all the unchristian habits of her
tribe.
Mr. Smith promptly interfered, and the
two miserable beings went sullenly to their
apartment. The remains were then buried
at York.

Horace GREELEY is getting ready for
the fall campaign. AS a preliminary step he
has resigned the charge Of the Tribune"
as will be seen by the following card:
"The Tribune has ceased to be a party
argan but the unexpected nomination of
its editor at Cincinnati seems TO involve
in new embarrassment. All must be
aware that the position of a journalist who
is at the same time candidate, is at best
irksome and difficult. That he is lfettered
in action and restrained in criticism by
knowing whatever he may say or do, is
closely scanned by thousands eager to find
in it what may be SO interpreted as to an
noy or perplex those who are supporting
him as candidate, and whom his shackled
condition will not permit him to be service
able. The undersigned, therefore, with
draws absolutely from the conduct of the
Tribune" and will henceforth, until fur
ther notice, exercise no control or super
vision over its columns.
(Signed) HORACE GREELEY.
May Is, 1872"

bune' falls upon Whitelaw Reid.

How Greeley's Nomination is Received

How Greeley's Nomination is Received.
The Democratic papers of North Carroll
ma declare that the nomination of Mr..
Greeley is the most satisfactory that could
have been made. The Democratic papers
of Tennessee, so far as reported, are enthu-
siastie in favor Of Greeley. The New Or
leans "Times" and "Picayune, and the
Houston "Times," all Conservative and
Democratic papers, support the ticket, and
so do the st. Louis "Times' and "Repub-
lican'' and the Cincinnati Enquirer" ("
Evidently the political situation is a strange
one. 1t looks more and more as though
there was TO be new deal, but who will
hold the winning hand seems impossible
to foreteli. Any Democratic candidate
who should not receive the support of the
papers we have named, would not be apt to
get many electoral votes.
We heard prominent Republican poll
tician few days since, in speaking of the
chances for Greeley's election, say, "that
the nomination reminded him of the man
who offered to bet his horses speed against
anything that carried four legs. When the
day came, a man appeared with an OK, sad
died and bridled, ready for the race. The
owner Of the horse looked bewildered,
laughed, and finally declined the race
why didn't you run with the ox?' asked a
bystander. We'll, to tell the truth said
he, 8 didn't knOao aohat tho deU'lish Os
might do r and that said he is just the way
feel in regard TO this Presidential race +"

THE U. S. House of Representatives has
passed an extra apportionment bill by
which Pennsylvania gets one more member,
making our delegation 81. The Judiciary
committee Of the Senate have also reported
the bill without any amendment so that it
will undoubtedly pass the Senate. This
will require re-districtng of the state un-
less the governor signs the bill passed by
the last legislature, in which event the ex-
ira member would be elected from the state

Terrible Forest Fires.

Milwaukee, May 14.-Letters from the
North confirm the reports of a destructive
fire in the woods near Kewanee. A mile
of surrounding buildings were burned,
after the residents had fought the fire five
days. Near the town of Gibson, Maniteo-
woo county, fire was also raging, and
while the residents were trying to keep the
advancing line of flames from sweeping
away their houses, thirteen year old
daughter of farmer named Engel Dun
ninger was burned to death. Her father
and an old Indian nearly lost their lives in
attempting to save her.

ONE of the most important bills which
has passed Congress is one allowing, one

was to allow one half so payable-we think
it would have been still better.

there for some months past. Two potent
reasons account for the present peace. One
is, the strong arm of the government has
held the Ku-Klux in awe. The other is, the
postum policy is found to be safest till the
proper time for action.
To return to the fact of Greeley's nomina-
ton, we repeat, there is nothing mysterious
in it. The Democrats wish to present
candidate who, in spite of all his radical,
black RepubIieanism, has written and done
many pleasant things, very grateful to the
Southern feeling. In 1860 ne was perfectly
willing to crafty them in their wish to
secede,-he was almost ready to fight in
defense of their " night 10 secede." Then in
1864 when the war had become very serious
conflict, he took upon himself to advise Pres
ident Lincoln to make peace with the rebels.
His plan Of adjustment embraced among other
articles, one in these words, " Complete am
nesty for oil political ofenSes, with a restor-
alton of all the inhabitants of each State to
all the privileges of citizens of the United
States" Another provision, g The Union to
cent. T. s. stock to the late slave States,
loyal and seeded alike, to be apportioned
pro rata, according to the slave population
respectively, by the census of 1860, in COM
pensGtion for the losses of their loyal citizen 8
by the abolition of slavery, each State to be
entitled to its quota upon the ratification of
its legislature Of this adjustment. The bonds
to be at the absolute disposal of the Legisla-
ture aforesaid
Looking back to those times of conflict,
of loss of life and treasure, the confederacy
would have thought it very fortunate to have
such man as Mr. Greeley to treat with
instead of Mr.. Lincoln. But Mr.. Greeley's
kind words and acts have been manifest to
political offenders since the war, even those
guilty of treason in the highest possible
sense. just now, in Mr.. Greeley's estima-
ton, there is no 50 great criminal as Gen
Grant.
Those who read and beIieUe in the justice
of the n. Y. Iri5une'S present hostility to
every measure Republican Administration
has favored for the last three years, must
either have short memories or believe the
Tribune has been guilty of insincerity or
downright deception when it supported and
approved all those measures, with possibly
one or two exceptions. Mr.. Greeley and his
mouthpiece, the Tribune, claim to be charita-
bic and liberal so they are, towards such as
JEFF Davis, and perhaps hundred others
equally guilty, or &" guiltless, of their coun-
trys blood True, they may have caused
the country a little unpleasantness, but it's
bad policy to punish. The law Of kindness
and the indulgence of such restless spirits is
the best policy. But a President of the
United States who TO the disgust of his op-
ponents consents to be a candidate for re-
election 1t is horrible, and he is worthy
the severest denunciation. p.

TIE DEATH OF JUA REz.-A dispatch from
Mexico announces that President Beniot
Juartz died on the 18th instant He was
seized with a tit of apople1y at o'clock
that afternoon, and lived but a few
hours.
Juarez was born in the state of Oaxaca in
1906 His family were poor, and his educa-
tl0n was procured through the favor of a
wealthy family In the neghborhOod. He
studied law, and afterwards distinguished
himself IN that profession. In 1916 he took
prominent part in public life, being a
member of the Constitutional Congress
In lS4~ be was elected Governor of Oaxaca
in which position he served four years. 10

The Democracy and Greeley

The extraordinary negotiations by which
the nomination of Horace Greeley was effect
ed, when fully disclosed to the world, will
make chapter of political history stranger
than fiction. The siDgularity was in the
negotiating, not in the resulting nomination.
The sympathies of the Democratic party
have been mainly for the South, and South
ern interests have been its chief care, wheth-
er in or out of power. For forty years it has
been the same.
While the party was in power, Sou thern
men dictated the policy of its Administration.
Since 1860 when the 4" irrepressible conflict ="
shook even Democracy itself, SO that it lost
its ascendency by division, it has never so far
forgotten its Southern friends as to be deaf
to their complaints against the Radicals.
Frank Blair doubtless expressed the senti-
ment of the party, though not that of the
nation. 90 That the triumph of the Demo
cratic party is the safety of the South. ="
Though this may be their thought, yet the
history of the past seven years shows that
when Democratic prospects brighten at the
North there has been most disturbance at the
South. Comparative quiet has prevail "a
