Present and Prospective.

New York, Maryland, Virginia, and Mis-
sissipp, are all that is left to the Democrats
out of the ten States that voted on Tuesday
This result, it is claimed by the Radicals, i
an indication that that party will elect the
next President. By no means. We see no
such indication in it. The Democratic party
needs good beating, occasionally, to keep il
within bounds, and to make it remember the
pit from which it has been digged. That
beating having come in 1875, it will be duly
humbled, brought to its senses, and made all
the stronger for 1876. The idea that Grant
ism, much less Grant himself, should receive
national endorsement in 1876 in the shape of
n third term, is too preposterous TO be enter
tanned for moment. We know that it is
being sedulously inculcated in certain quar-.
tiers, and that Grant himself is filed with it,
but his nomination would be the certain pre-
cursor OF Democratic success The reverses
of the Democratic party, this fall, is the best
thing that could have happened for its future
success They shake down certain men
perched high in its fore, who would have
been as milestone about its neck. This de-
feat will prevent the adoption ola crazy plat
form in 1876, and prevent a nomination
mot fit to be made" like that iu 1872
and that in 1868, so far as the Vice
Presidential candidate was concerned.
No, the Democratic reverses of 1876 are but
the prelude to Democratic victory in 1876.
Mark the prediction Westminster AdUocdte.

Rock SPRING CHURCH-The work ofre.
building this venerable old church is pro.
crossing satisfactorily and the contractor, Mr.
j. f. Bull, expects to have the building com.
pleted by Christmas. The church has been
entirely remodelcd and converted into neat
Gothic building. A recess chancel, robing
room and yestibule have been added, which
with the steep Gothic roof and pointed win
dows have entirely changed the appearance
of the structure. The building committee
have met with gratifying success in collect
ing funds TO carry the work forward. They
will need, however, n considerable amount
more to complete the building.
Rock Spring Church has been landmark
for nearly three quarters of a century, and
in its quiet shadows sleep the unforgotten
dead of many u Hartford family Many of
the living also expect to find resting.pace
with their forefathers in this beautiful SPOT.
The committee therefore appeal with reason
to those who have friends and relatives bur-
led there TO assist in the work of rebuilding
the old church; for while it remains the
graveyard surrounding it will be free from
intrusion and not suffered to fall into decay.
The work is being well and thoroughly done,
and the beautiful temple which is rapidly
growing out of the aforementioned plain
old church, we hope will endure for hun
dreds of years, as guardian of the hallowed
graves which surround it. The building
committee are Messrs. John Moores, VIM.

RETURNING HoME.-After the close of the
war number of Southern families sought
homes in Mexico and the different countries
of South America. Many have since return
ed to the United States, disguised and dis
appointed with the condition of affairs in
their new homes. Many others desire to
come back, but not having the means for re-
turning are still there, and in the main liv-
ing in restitution and misery. Notice of the
unfortunate condition of these people having
been brought to the State Department, the
United States corvette Swatara has been fit
ted out and sailed from New York few days
since, for the purpose of a trip to the various
South American ports, to offer free passage
to all American citizens in dstrs and desi-
rous of returning home

was accepted by young man named Dough-
erty. Accordingly, stout rope was fasten-
ed to him, heavy weights attached to his
feet and a weight placed on his shoulders,
that he might descend the more easily
Dougherty made the descent, but the weight
upon his shoulders being too heavy lie lost
his balance, and was unable to guide himself
clear OF projecting rocks. He therefore gave
the preconcerted signal to be raised up, and
his companions above hauled him up. In
doing so by some means he came up under
platform on which the men stood, and being
so encountered by the heavy weights and also
nearly drowned, lie was powerless to get out
nor could the persons on the platform assist
him. They therefore lowered him again, so
that they might bring him up clear of the
platform. In hastily doing this, the half
drowned man became fastened between two
rocks, and there he stuck. Matters were
becoming exceedingly serious for Dougherty.
AT this juncture brave young Welshman,
whose name we could not learn, climbed
down the rope, and extricating Dougherty
from between the rocks, both of them were
hauled up. Dougherty was nearly at the last
gasp, but after time lie recovered. The eff.
forts to get Ellis's body out were continued
at intervals with graphing irons until Tues
day last, when it was found and drawn out

DROWNED IN A SLATE QUARRY. - On
Wednesday night, November 3D., a young
man named John Ellis, while under the in
fluence of liquor, accidentally fell into an
abandoned slate quarry, containing forty or
fifty feet of water, and was drowned The
quarry is situated near West Bangor, York
county, Pa, and was formerly worked by Mr..
Humphreys The accident was not dscov-
cred until Thursday morning, when mans
SLOUGH hat was seen floating on the surface
of the water. Ellis being missed and having
been seen in the neighborhood of the quarry
the night before, led to the conclusion that
he was drowned in the pit. An unsuccessful
effort was made to bring the body to the sur
face by means of graphing irons, and after
repeated trials, a reward of fifty dollars was
offered to any man who would dive to the
bottom anil bring up the body. The offer

Hon. REvERDY JOHNSON ON THE PoLITI-
CAL. SITUATIoN.-"In conversation with q
World reporter Mr.. johnson said that he did
not think that the recent elections should
discourage the Democratic party at all. On
the contrary, he felt satisfied that if the party
leaders acted wisely they could not fail TO
elect their President in 1876. He declined
TO express any opinion as to who would be
the most available candidate. Judging from
the tenor of Republican journals throughout
the country and from the action Of certain
prominent Republicans, he also believed that
President Grant would undoubtedly be the
Republican candidate, and Grant he believed
to be undoubtedly cndeavoring TO prepare
the way for such an event"
