Four Raftmen instantly Killed on the
Pa. Railroad.

A crew of FIVE Jolly raftmen might
have been seen passing this place on q
raft, bound for Marietta, some time in
March last. Their names we're Amos
ard Edward Psrdee, (brothers,) p. s.
and VIM. W. Irwin, (brothers,) }, and
Jacob Bowden. They continued on
their way until the water fell sna left
their raft lying high and dry on the
shore, number of miles below this
county. Here they lived on their raft
for some four weeks, waiting patiently
ior rise of water and certainly think.
ing much of the homes which the ma.
jority of their number were destined
never to enter, except to fill them with
desolation.
The late food came and their raft
was moored at Marietta without fur.
ther trouble or delay. They took
passage on the railroad aud on Wednes
day last at Gillitzen, about twelve
miles west of Altoona, where they left
the railroad, intending to reach their
homes, in the vicinity of Cherry Tree,
by travelling on foot across the country,
but find the walking very unpleasant
on account of a recent fall of snow,
they retraced their steps to Gilltzen,
and started to walk down the railroad
to Cressen, only three miles distant,
where they intended to take the cars,
on the branch road, for Ebensburg,
thus materially shortening che distance
they would have to walk.
They proceeded Oh their way until
they reached the short curve in deep
cut, about midway between Gilitzen
and Cresson, when they observed a
coal train approaching, eastward
bound. They stepped upon the cen.
tire track to allow the coal train to
pass, little thinking that they were
stepping right into the jaws of death,
for at the same moment the Pacific ex-
press, westward bound, dashed around
the short curve, striking them, and
quick as fash four ont Of the five
men were hurled into eternity, the
fifth, VIM. w. Irwin, escaping with a
broken leg and injured hands. a.
The express train waa Immediately
stopped, and so terrible had been the
stroke that the four bodies were lifeless,
though none of them had been run
over BY the wheels. The dead were
taken to Cresson, while the injured
man was removed to house near by
and medical aid summoned.
The curve spoken of is 80 short that
it is possible to see but q short dis.
tance when there is no other train in
way, and in this instance tie view of
the express was obs,ructed by the coal
train, while the fated men could not
hear the approaching express, owing
to the noise made by the passing coal
train. CT -l5s

The Arkansas imbroglio seems, at
last,in the way Of amicable adjustment.
Saturday it looked, at one time, as if
hostllities were commenced. But at
last an arrangement was effected,
whereby the entire subject is to be left
to the Legislature, the President ap.
pointing Governor ad interim. OF
course neither of the contending par.
ties will be selected, as this would give
the incumbent immense advantage
over his competitors. The affair has
been disgracetul from the outset, and
we hope now that no farther difficulty
will be had IN settling the matter.

Our New York correspondent sig.
nificantly remarks that, "To a much
greater extent than is known, the mon.
ey of the country banks is used here
in buying business paper instead of
accommodating customers at home"
This, to some extent, accounts for the
stringeucy in certain quarters, and the
glut of money-in commercial centres.
There are other reasons for the une.
quail distribution of money in various
parts of the country. We put too much
on our backs for the length of our pur.
ses. Our tradesmen get too much of
our money to carry abroad. We must
buy less and produce more, spend less
and save more.
Merchants as well as bankers engage
in transporting money from the coun.
try to the city. We may put a stop
to this if we will. When we do this
the occupation Of inHationists will be
gone. Will we do it ?-MeadpiHe Re

A II DIR ss


Arrangements are steadily progressing for
the Centonnialc and International
Exhibition. The principal buildings are in
course of erection. The President of the
United States, as requested by Congress at
the last session, has extended cordial in
vitation to all other nations to Join in this
work and q large number Of these have
already signifisd their intention to aeeept
that invitation. Exhibition space 10 being
applied for from this and foreign countries,
and every manifestation ON the subject
seems to indicate eminent success for our
Centennial display. But, to carry out this
undertaking on a scale due to the glorious
event to be COMMUNICATED, additional funds
will be needed, for while Congress has cheer
fully thrown around this patriotic work the
national prestige, and promptly promoted
it by appropriate laws, it did not furnish tile
necessary capital; that part was left for you,
and not doubling that, inspired by the mem
Dries of the past and the blessings of the
present, you will cheerfully perform it, and
to the end that it may be convenient for you
to do 80. we have adopted plan for raising
revenue which will be brought before you
by bureau created for that purpose, and
acting under the general direction of the
Hon. William Bigler, member OF this
Board, and who is commended to your re-
speetful consideration in the performance
Of his arduous duties. In addition to the
use of this plan any person can subscribe

stock ut $40 each by remitting payment for

GENERAL w. II. EMoRY's REPORT.
Among the reports af the depart
mcnt commanders made to the In
spector General Of tho army appears
that of the commander Of this depart
ment, detailing at length, the position
and condition Of troops here. In com
menting on the circumstances under
which Il portion Of his troops have
been employed in maintaining civil
authority, General Emory calls at
tention to tho difficulties surrounding
a military commander in the Southern
States, and particularly to the deli
cate and underlined nature of the duties
imposed on troops. He suggests that
a general rule of action be defined
according with the law. He also says
that Mt present troops are expected
to keep the peace without having any
power to correct abuses, however
fragrant, or power to arrest parties
for most criminal offenses, and yet
their presence, in case Of riot or dis
turbance, renders them liable to civil
suits, if casualties should occur even
by accident. The General gives it as
undeniable that the presence Of troops
Is necessary to conservation Of peace
mthe Southern country, and expresses
the individual opinion that troops
here are necessary to the existeuce of
the government itself. From Syn
opsis of the report, "a seceived by
telegraph, it is judged to be u manly
and fair document, which will have
due weight with the President, and
in coming legislation.-N. 0. Repub-

OF MEMPHIs-THEY WILL BE DECEIVED NO
LoNGER-AND WILL NOT SUPPORT CARPET
BAGGERS.
MEMPHIS. Dec. 9.-The presidents of the
various colored societies of this city have
organized society called the knights
Brotherhood and Monumental Association.
the objects of which are set forth in a lengthy
address to the colored people published
this morning. which is 20 discard all
old political ties and cultivate and
maintain permanent peac9 with the white
people of the South in accordance with
the dying words of Thomas Swan, late pres
ident of the pail bearers. Ia their preamble
and resolutions they say:
1--WE are fully aroused TO a consciousness
that we have been for years the dupes OF
crafty, designing and unprincipled men
whose only object was their own personal ao-
grandiZement irrespective of the means or
results, to our injury. They have shorn us
OF our pecuniary accumulstions, the result
of weary years of toll, even to pennies ac-
cumulsted by our youth and little fiedglings.
All this we could bear, but they have left us
despised by our only true friends
through their knavish representa-
tions and unmitigated falsehoods.
Our experience in this direction, for which
we have amply paid, Invites a change on our
ages of Almighty God, in whose goodness,
mercy and wisdom we trust for our future
guidance,
Resolved, That, embracing the honest.
truthful advice of our late friend, Thomas
Swan, we now and forever shake off those
unwarranted fears that have been created,
aud have preyed as bugaboo upon the
minds of our simple people. We are
1t least convinced that they were the
fiction of political incendisries who have
sacrificed us and led us into ouI
present trouble, and we now pledge
ourselves as representatives of our societies
henceforth TO sever all affinity and past re-
lations with all men whose only value re-
suited in plunder and strife. We regret the
blindness OF the past that has alienated the
kind feeling of our true friends, and in our
effort to improve the future we pledge our
faith mutually to each other and TO whom it
may concern that hereafter we will sustain
no mau for Office unless he be Thoroughly
identified with the people of the soil and
in full accord with our earnest desire to cul-
tivate peace, harmony and industrial value
among the races now sequestered by vile and
heinous teachings"
