Grant and Scott.

The Charleston Republican,, a small
insignificant sheet, has nominated for
the two highest Offices iu the govern
ment tho two great "oivil heroes"
Grant and Scott, tho one the true OK
ponont of northern Rndicalism, tho
other, of earpetbag Kadicalism.
1hore seems to us peculiar fitness
In the association Of those two names.
They embody the real spirit of op.
preston and tyranny that appears
now to influence the course of tho
general govertment towards the
South, and are in every way suited to
be the tools in the hands uf tho cor.
rup,ionists that control tho Admiuis.
tration. ..' .tH
Grant has worldwide reputation
rs weak. corrupt politician, study
ing in all his public acts, to please his
masters, and carry out their vil:ainous
schemes, and obey their every hehest.
His conduct as President has been ut.
terly reckless, regardless of tho wells
fare of the country, and shaped only
IN tho interests Of the pnprincipled
mon he serves. His foreign minis.
ters, in many cases his own kindred,
have brought disgrace upon tho
American flag, and made our country
en- object of contempt. a' '3a@ 80
On the othor hand, Scott has, 10.
lowed his Presidential master, ard las
proved on easy tool to carry out his
aots Of tyranny and oppression. . Gov
cred with corruption and vico, he
stands before the country condemned
by every honest man Of all parties.

The Funeral Service Dcn0uhced

The Rev. Mr.. Miller, of Spring
field, l.. l., has given offense to his
congregation in connection with the
funeral ceremonies. As the breach
was widening he thought it best to
preach sermon. He is q Presbyte.
rian. He denounced the funeral
service as unscriptual and pernicious.
He said a good many lies were told
III funeral dicourses, and dead mems
memories were lauded to heaven
when their spirits were in a different
place. There is much discussion of
the matter in the neighborhood.

Boiler Explosion and Loss Of Life.

The foundry works Of John i. Tay-

were somewhat destroyed by one of
tho most terrible explosions that ever
startled this city.
AT about 10 O'Clock, heavy report
like the sound Of distant cannon, was
heard throughout the city, but in these
Days Of martial law excited no espe
cial apprehensions but soon tho air
filed with rumors of most terrific
explosion: and our energetic reporter
was soon among the ruins Of the fine
building known as tue Ph@nix Iron
Works.
Ly ing in Hazel street was the mu-
ti'ated remains Of Frederick Barton,
q young man Of about sixteen years of
nge, who was employed as fireman at
the time of the accident. We under.
stand that young Barton was a steady
industrious and honest laborer, whose
nssiduity commended him to tho con-
fideuce Of his employ ers.
This WAS, fortunately, tho only
death, but the list of the wounded
shows how narrow was tho escape.

Tho ku kIux Cases,

WARRINGTON, Ftiday, March o.
The United States Supreme Court
was occupied to-day in hearing the
argument Of Nlcssrs. johnson and

OF habeas corpus and certiorari in the
case of i. Jefferson Groer, ono Of the
Ku klux prisoners, whom the United
States Circuit Court at Columbia had
refused to discharge upon writ of
habens corpus. In this way the coun
sci for the prisoners, having failed in
their appeal from tho decision of the
Circuit Court in the matter of ouash .
,ng the indictment, hoped still to
bring the enforcement or Ku Klux
law before the Supreme Court upon
its merits.
The motion was opposed by Attor.
ney General Williams and Solicitors
General B'istow on grounds similar
to those taken by the Government in
the case Of the United States vs..

1t may be predicted in this case, as
In that of Avery, that tho motion will

PHILADELPHIA.

PHmADELPHIA, July 5.--During the
thunderstorm which visited this city
last night with great severity, hundreds
of fine trees which adorned the streets
and squares were uprooted or stripped
Of their foliage and branches by the
fierce gusts of wind. The rain fell in
torrents, flooding the streets and over
flowing cellars in the lower part of the
city. Thousands Of excursionists re-
turning from the surrounding country
to their homesin the city, were caught
in the storm and thoroughly drenched.
A young man named Miller, fifteen
years of age, was accidentally shot by
his cousin, Wm. Hamilton, at Campton,
near Shelton's hotel, yesterday, while
engaged in target shooting. Miller died
shortly after the occurrence.
Soldiers of the war of 1872 held their
annual meeting yesterday in the Quarter
Sessions Courtroom, at which sixty Of
the surviving veterans were present.
During the storm last evening. the
store of R. Aler, North Eighth street,
was damaged by water to the amount of
$4,000 or $4,000. Damage was princi-
pally to silks and ladies' suits. and was
caused by workmen on an adjoining
building stopping up the spout.
