The Pennsylvania Legislature is endeavor-
ing to frighten the abductors of Charlie Ross
by passing bill inficting fifteen years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine upon any person
who shall continue to conceal or have any

In watching the wonderful growth of Chi
cago, st. Louis, and other great cities of the
Central States, people overlook the progress
of San Francisco, the metropolis of the Pacif-
ic slope. In that city last year two thousand
buildings, many of them costly structures,
were put up. The whole state appears to
have been as prosperous as San Francisco,
for its yield of gold and silver was one hun
dred millions, its manufactured products
reached fifty millions, its wheat forty millions,
its wool seven millions, its wine and miscel-
laneous articles twenty millions.

JANUARY did not make very favorable
showing in business point of view. There
was large falling off of exports and large
increase of imports. The wheat shipments
were less than million bushels against three
millions on January of last year, and the spe-
Gle shipments nine millions against two and
a quarter millions. .-

THE extent to which Frenchmen are indu-
enced and even governed by brilliant phrases
has received striking illustration in the
French Assembly. During the scassion Of
the constitutional bill an amendment was Of
fered providing that the President shall not
be entitled to assume command of the forces.
Thereupon a supporter of the Septennate
leaped to his feet, and said that President
M'Mahon would resign if the amendment
passed. Of course he didn't put it in that
bald way, but grandiloquently said, ''the hero
of Magenta will resign the executive power if
debarred from drawing his sword in defence
of the country" This pretty sentence Of
course settled the question, and the amend
ment was at once withdrawn.

Boston, Aug. 21.-The initiative steps tow.

Union Party, with Gen. n. z. Banks for Presi-
dent, and possibly L. j. Lamar of Mississippi
as Vice President, was taken here to-day A
state Central committee was formed and oil at
form and resolutions adopted. No prominent
men OF either party took part in the proceed
ings.
The resolutions pronounce Republican or
Democratic partisan organizations dangerous.
and call for a new party of peace, etc. They
further condemn enormous frauds on the gov
eminent, dishonest public official, great mo-
nopolies and corporations, tending to Cypress
the people. Sudden initiation or contraction of
the currency is pronounced dangerous, and the
only way to specie resumption is to make the
promises of the nation as valuable as private
notes, ETC. encouragement should be given
TO sectional eumity.

The Other Side of the Georxia TrouhIe

WASHINGTON Aug. 2l.-The following dis.
patch has been received here from source
very reliable:
Atldntd Ga, Aug. 2O-The alleged insurrec-
tion amounts to nothing White Leaguers and
Ku Klux have made it an occasion to prosecute
the colored population, and continue arresting
and throwing into prison innocent and home
less persons who are in a completely defenceless
state.
1t is reported that Harris has been arrested
and that his confession duplicates many prom
inent colored politicians in the SO called con-
Spiracy. These reports come directly from
White Lesguers, who are using every effort to
arouse the indignation of the white population
OF the disturbed sections. The negroes have
neen denied their rights for some time, particu-
Larry the right OF holding public meetings.
Ihey have simply attempted to secure them
selves tins right by going to their meetings in
strong squads. and liz some instances bearing
arms arms Tor selt-protection. At present every
thipg is SAID to be quiet the field of insurrec-
ton, save now and then an arrest of some SIM
posed dangerous party and the thrusting of the
same, under protest and without hearing. into
the county dungeons to await their time for
trial and punishment or rele ase.

MIR. Beecher ON Regeneration and Mrs.
LivermOre on the Elevation of Woman.
TWIN MOUNTAIN House. N. H., Aug. d.
Fortunate was the thought of procuring large
tabernacle for the accommodation of the
crowds that from Sunday to Sunday gather
here to listen to the sermons of the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, for each succeeding audience
has been larger than that which preceded 1t.
Though the tent, which was obtained from
Boston last week and made ready for the ser
vices of to-day, is capable OF holding 40Oo peo'
pie or more, it was filled. The muititGdes were
conveyed to this place by 16 trains containing
80 cars, from Portland, Me, Burlington ana
Plymouth n. H., White River Junction, VT,
Lancaster, n H.. the Fabyan House and the
intermediate stations, and by lo3 vehicles from
Litteton, Bethlehem, Jefferson, the Profile
House and numerous other villages AID hotels
within a radius of thirty miles, Underneath
the tent platform had been built for Mr..
Beecher and benches had been constructed for
the audience The weather was fine ard every
thing conspired to make the occasion one long
to be remembered by those who were present
at the Inauguration this morning of the taher
nacle services here in the wilderness. The
opening exercises were delayed full hour in
consequence of the lateness of the arrival of
trainf from Portland and Burlington. The in
terval which was thus occasioned was improved
by the singing of several hymns and the i'm
promising from the audience OF choir. The
singing was accompanied by the Twin Noun
tain House Band.
The sermon was founded on the 18th verse of
the Sd chapter of John: "Marvel not that l say
unto thee We must be born again." The tsub-
ject of the discourse was the new birth. In his
very extended treatment of this subject the
Rev. preacher considered the importance of
CONVERSION, its nature and the evidence of its
genuiness. He appeared to be in his best
mood for speaking and threw such power into
his voice, words and manner as to be easily
beard by those who were the farlhest from him
and to commend 10 the earnest attention of
all At the close of the eve rcises a collection of
1920 was taken towards paying for tent, which
is to cost about 5000. The mountain morning
meetings. conducted by Mr. Beecher. have
been held daily during the past week with un-
diminished audiences. This evening Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore delivered an address in the
parlor of the Twin Mountain House before the
guests OF the hotel on the subject of the moral
elevation of woman.

convention yesterday resolutions denOuncing
the report of the state superintendent of edu-

ment ever issued, were presented and referred
Resolutions declaring that the negroes of the
state ought to be governed alone by negro
omcers were read and referred. A committee
OF three from each congressional district was
appointed on the labor union, which met after
the convention and elected off GERS for the year.
The object OF the union is to secure uniform
and better pay, The committee on address
submitted a report embodying an address to the
people of Virginia. the general tone of which
is quite mild. 1t states that local self-govern-
ment is virtually destroyed in some portions of
the state and urges that all citizens, without
regard to color, be protected in their right TO
serve as jurors, and asks that the Legislature
pass no evasve acts which contemplate ruin
and disaster to any man, whatever his com.
plexion The report further advises the legis-
l,tors to diligently strive to nculcate kuowl-
edge and intelligence, and closes in the
following words:-'The colored people of the
the state confront their white fellow citizens
to-day upon high ana honorable grounds, eager
to adjust all differences for the government of
all. They speak wholly for themselves and
put forth these sentiments to intelligent minds
and a just God" The report was adopted,
