horses that had the distemper. In clean

on his hand. In u ehort tima his hand
and arm bccume 81 terribly iuilamed and
swollen, they had to be unputnted.
Soon after the ampntation no died.
Persons owning horses cannot exercise
too much prudence in this respect, as
tho matter from this distemper is rank
poison to ths human system.

PooR CARLoTTA.- saddest event
in the modern history of thrones and
those "unensy heads that wear a crown, -
is the struggle made by the unfortunate
Empress Carlotta to save her husband,
Maxamillian, and her failure and loss of
minh Her health of late has been re-
ported to be failing, but the last advices
contradict the statement, and-shall we
say unfortunately for her?-tell us that
che may yet live many years. Her mind
is as blank as ever, and no ray of return
ing reason gives the faintest chance for
hope. It is said of her that great part
of her time is occupied in sending tele-
graphic dispatches to Napoleon III,
whom she still believes to be on the
throne, and conversing with the spirits
that she says haunt the upper stories of
the chateau. whose language she boasts
OF kno wing, and whose advice she follows.
Now and then, she orders rich toilet to
be made, which she places on chairs and
dummies, and goes through the cere-
mony of court reception. In her eyes,
these dresses and bonnets represent
ladies of France and Mexico. She fiat
ters some, insults others, and 80 passes
q part of her time. She never wears
any of these fine toilets, and always ap-
pears in her dressing gown. Recently
she cut off oil her fine hair, and put it on
one of her dummies; nevertheless, she
insists OH having her hair dressed every
morning, and domestic has to 60
through the ceremony.

The PICKET LINE PAssED.-By very
large vote the people of Pennsylvania
ha ve elected the entire Republican State
ticket anda decisive Republican majority
in both branches of the State Legisla-
ture. Having with sincere and unfalter-
ing purpose opposed the two chief can
didates on this ticket, solely in the inte-
rest of the commonwealth and in the
firm conviction that they were unworthy y
of this distinction, we yield to the judg-
ment of the ballot-box, as in duty
bound, entertaining no regrets and prof
fering no apology for course honestly
begun and faithfully persevered in.
Without questioning the motives of those
who have resolved to perpetuate OIL
odious local rule-insufferable in its ar
rogance and most eXtravagant and costly
in its actions-we shall be profoundly
gratified if our apprehcnsions, repeated
ly uttered, are not confirmed. Grave
and momentous trusts have again been
conlided to men wo conceive 10 be uu-
worthy.
These local oppressors are now en-
throned and cntrenched in power. Mr..
Cameron will undoubtedly be reelected
United States Senator, armed with new
prorogatiyes to persecute and to punish.
His iron band will be laid upon every
independent spirit in the State, and he
will again quote the prestige and WELD
the patronage of the President to for
ward his designs; unless, indeed, Gen.
Grant will do the Independent people of
Pennsylvania tho justice to believe that
their protest against this reckless man,
however fruitless mt tho late election, has
sprung from pure and honest motives.
But, in despite of all that may be said
or done, tho Press today. rs in other
dnys, owes higher allegiance than the
allegiance to mcn-an allegiance to
principle, to innate convictions, proved
by experience in the most tumul:uous
and trying decade in our history.

and the Boilers, is an admirable one.
There is no better, truer, and, perhaps,
no ADLER man in the State than General
Wallace, and we feel that in him all
honest citizens Of the State have a cham
pion upon whom they may rely. and of
whom they may feel proud. Ten such
men as he is in the General Assembly
would leaven the whole lump. We have
had direful forebodings of the evils
which would follow the election Of Moses
and his party. Now that he is elected,
Wa shall demand from him and his ad-
ministration faithful performance of
the promises they have made the people
of reduction of the public debt and a
retrenchment of State expenditures. We
shall be surprised if they keep their pro-
misses, but not disagreeably so. What
ever of good they may do we shall un-
hesitatingly whatever of bad
as fearlessly condemn.

The despatch which announces the
order for the arrest of DR.. Muhlenberg,
United States Collector of Internal Re-
venue at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for an
attempt to bribe the election Judge to
stuff the ballot-box against Buckalew,
would have been fairer if it had told tho
whole truth. The United States Collect
or, thus punished for an effort to bribe
an election Judge to aid in the fraudu-
lent defeat of Buckalew, is the brother
in-law of Simon Cameronl How many
of Cameron's agents succeeded, in efforts
like this in which his brother in la "
failed?.

DEATd OF FANNY L ERN. -Sar8 FuY-
son Parton, populnrly known as "Fanny
Fern" died at her residence, in New
York, on Thursday. Though she has
left few enduring literary works, she, has
earned with her pen wide celebrity.
seems to have passed through some
what stormy aud cloudy girlhood and
womanhood, and passed into mature
life before she made an entrance into the
field of literature. Sho was descend
ant of two old Puritan families of New
England, and, in common with her bro
thor, N. P. Willis, the wcll-knowu poet,
Inherited from her father and mother a
largo share of mental power and gonius.
She was educated ut Hartford, Conn.
by Miss Catherine Beecher, and WAS re-
cognized as clever young lady, high
spirited and eccentric, and addicted to
mischievOus and comical escopades.
While yet young, and soon after leaving
school, she married Mr.. Eldridge, Of
Boston. After the birth of three chill
dren, she was left widow and in some
what embarrassed circumstances. OF
these straits came her first literary ven
ture, and in 1851 she offered an essay,
signed Fanny Fern" to one of the
literary weeklies of Boston. It was ac-
copied, and acceptable, for the great
reading public mmodiately demanded
more, and Fanny Fern" grew into fame
and favor. These leaflets were gathered
into volume with the title of "Fern
Leaves" and had great sale, no less
than $4,000 copies Of the book having
been sold. Little Ferns for Fanny s
Little Friends" her next book, had q
fair sale, and a second series of the
''Lcaves" reached very largo edition.
In 1854. her first novel, Ruth Hall, ap-
peared. It was not genial book, and
over its family revelations and illusions
generous charity draws n will of for
getfulncss. Rose Clarke, published in
1857, was more sunny work, and com
canded wider circle of readers than
even the unhappy notoriety of its prede-
cessor had attracted. The two novels
were the only cnes which "Fauny Form"
ever published; they provoked much
criticism, and were read by thousands
who sought in their pages tho same
vivacity which had been the charm of
her less pretentious writings.
In 1856, the subject Of this sketch was
married to Mr.. James Parton, of New
York city, historical writer and essay
ist Since her marriage, her published
writings have not been voluminous, but
their character has been considerably
modified and improved, compared with
those Of her earlier career. Her re-
mains will be taken to Boston for inter-
ment.

TROUBLES OF THE ConoRED CADET AT
ANNAPOLIS. troubles of colored
cadet Conyers began on the day of his
entrance into the academy. On that
evening m attempt was nude to push
him down stairs, but it failed. Last
evening, after dark, while the midship-
men were in line. number of cadets
twenty it is said-broke line, set upon
the unfortunate boy, and kicked him
without ceremony. "Look out, massa,
what you are doing" was the remon-
stranco of the colored cadet. An officor
rushed in, with o drawn sword, among
the crowd that gathered around Con-
yers. and stopped the attack. Conyers
could only recognize one Of his assail-
ants. It is not known what has been
done with the latter. The cadets will
have nothing whatever to do with Con.
yers, except where they are obliged to.
He was seen to approach cadet and
civilly ask him a question regarding
some duty or position, but the midship-
man addressed was off duty, and not the
slightest attention was paid to Conyers
Two colored attendants were placed as
guard over Oonyers, and these also were
beaten last night. Conyers has now
been here just six days, and has re.
oeived in that time twenty demerits; but
at that academy very small matter
brings demerit.-New York Tribune.

The report comes from Washington
that Simon Cameron is to be appointed
Secretary of State if Grant should be re-
elected. Well, we are glad it isn't the
Secrotaryship of the Treasury to which
ho is to be appointed, for in that case it
wouldn't take him six weeks to make q
clean sweep of the whole concern.

COLONEL MCCLURES S MANIFESTO.-IO
The People Of Pennsylvania: The success
full consummation Of measure of
fraud in this city, that must appall alike
the guilty authors and their no less
guilty respectable abettors, has made
Philadelphia appear to give the unex-
ampled majority of over 10000 in favor
of continued corrupt rule in Pennsyl-
vania.
With every channel of power ready to
aid in executing the systematic defiance
Of the popular will; with debauohed or
plant canvassers to register $4,000
fraudulent names; with the most despe-
rate repeaters of three cities to vote the
plundered from the people to pay them !;
with election officers selected expressly
to receive every vote offered in favor Of
the ring; with q police force to- pilot re-
peaters to their localities and protect
them in polling illegal votes; with Of
fioers of the law to guarantee their i'm
munity from punishment, and with O
large preponderance of our citizens, who
claim to be the champions Of morality
and reform, giving their unqualified
sanction to what they knew to be de-.
liberately planned pollution of tho bal
lot-box-the result is but the logical re-
suit of the rule that is now supremely
enthroned in our city and State.
Nor was this gigantic system of fraud
confined to Phil 'deIphia In tho princi-
pal cities and tow throughout the
State thousands legal votes have
been polled. - Liberal cause was
thus over -.mtd in Reading. Chester,
West Jster, Columbia, Harrisburg,
Pittsburg, and other localities, while the
rural districts exhibit large and uniform
gains. I am warranted in announcing
that the large majority polled for Hart
ranft is wholly fraudulent.
Friends of good government, let no
triumph Of lawlessness deter you from
giving your best energies to the cause.
The highest prerogative of free peo-
pie has been violently usurpcd by inso-
lent and debauched power, and the peo-
pie must resent it, and resent it prompt
ly, or give unquestioned license to
wrong. Now. more than ever in this
contest, is the election of Horace Gree
ley to the Presidency q supreme neces-
sity, if peace and honest government
are not to perish from the annals of our
history. Right must triumph in this
desperate struggle, if the people shall
prove faithful to themselves, to their
laws and to their country.
A. X. MCCLURE,
Chairman OF Liberal Republican Com
mittee.
