Ghe EG+ct of the Discount on silver.

The Oreana Smelling Works. which
have been successfully running for
some time pust. under the superin-
tepdence of Geu. Conner, closed down
last week ia consequence Of the heavy
discount on silver The decline in the
market value of silver bullion is from
% To- 30 per cent. below par. On fine
6nllion the discount amounts to one
fourth of its assayed value, while on
base balli0n it is almost one third.
This. OF course, has terrible effect Oh

mines which have been worked at ii
small profit to the owner. Will prob
ably follow the example of the Oreana

THIS is n ,lsehood which we desire to

Electionssring Schemes.

Gov. Chamberlain, Of South Carolina,
calls for troops, basing his demand upon
the late negro riot at Hamburg. Balti-
more Republicans demand the dismissal
Of Marshal Goldsborough, alleging that he
stands in the way Of Republican triumph
in this State. How, is not exactly stated.
They think, perhaps, that If they had a
Marshal who would Interfere with elec-
tons by appointing a large number of
deputies to overawe the people, that they
could prevent the casting of sufficient
number Of Democratic votes to turn the
scale the other way. 1t is evident that
the Republicans do not intend to rely upon
ballots alone in the ensuing election, If
their purposes can be carried out. 1t is
equally clear that any attempt to employ
the military or other unusual means to
influence the Presidential election, will
arouse the people to such an extent as to
overwhelm Hayes and all the marshals
and military that can be brought to his
aid. There is no sectional war on hand
now, and they would find the employment
of the military to carry the elections
very different thing from what it was
few years ago. Let their folly take this
turn, If it will, and they will find them
selves beaten worse than any party ever
was beaten before in any election in this
country.

may be said, that, having these great prin-
ciples established already in our organic
law. there is no need Of any further CON
Germ about them-that they are perpetual
Not SO. Within the space Of few brief
years past, We have seen all these great
fundamental principles Of Magma Charta
which were incorporated into our own sys-
tenn, thrown down and traniplcd under
foot. Men were dragged from the bosoms
Of their families BY brute force, without
warrant or other civil process, incarcerated
in loathsome prisons, and denied the priv
ileges Of trial by jury and the habeas cor
pas This has been done here, within the
memory Of all who have attained their
majority, and no one can tell how soon it
may be done again. 1t behooves free
people to be jealous Of their rights, and to
guard them with increasing watehfulness.
Il has passed into proverb, that "the
price Of liberty is eternal vigilance
Power is always stealing from the many
to the few II was doubtless inattention
to public coreerns-a relaxation Of the
watchfulness Of the people over their pub
lie servants or agents which destroyed
Greece and Rome, and thcOther republics
Of antiquity. Nothing, we apprehend,
could be more fatal to liberty than the
rust Of neglect on the part Of the people
towards their political rights and privi-
leges, and nothing would cause their free
institutions so soon to lapse into despotism,

to give up politics aad relax their atten-

them to relaxation of zeal for the Church
The Church ministers to the needs of the
soul; the State to the wants of the body.
Both are essential to the wcllbeing of
society. What becomes Of the Church
when the State falls into disorder9 Does
it not suffer in all its interests? He
is the best teacher who inculeates the
faithful discharge Of all osr duties-reli-
gious, civil and social. None may be
neglected or dispensed with, without det-
riment to the rest.
| The beloved and venerated Father Of
his country, while warning us in his fare
well address against the baleful effects OF
factious and unreasoning party spirit,
counsels US to an active vigilance in guard
ing the heritage of freedom received from
our fathers, that it may be transmitted un
impaired to the latest posterity.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives expires
sion to its views on this subject in the
following language:
"There is one point on which no true pa
triot should have any doubt; and that is as TO
his sacred duty to make his citizenship felt
in the election, by the deposit Of his ballot.
The duty oil voting is one which no man should
neglect or evade. There are men, and men
of Intelligence, too, who make their indiffer.
? enee to this great civil duty matter Of pride.
OF such it is mild rebuke to say that they
ought TO be ashamed of themselves

"REFoRM. What does this word mean,
in the mouths of the Republicans? What
is It they propose to reform? The Demo-
Gratis have been out of power for sixteen
years past, and are in no way responsible
for anything wrong in the Administration,
through all that period Then it must be
the administration of the Republicans
to which this talk about reform refers.
That is it; aud when you hear Republi-
can talking about reform, it isa confession
Of the corruptions and abuses which exist
in his own party; and although you may
question the sincerity of his reform pro-
fessions, you must accept his Testimony as
against his own party, although you are
conscious he gives it only as the best plea
he can make for further lease of power,
because the cry Of reform is one ever pop
ular among the people. Earnest and sin
cere reformers should be willing to entrust
that work to the Democrats. They boldly
pronounced for reform in their national
platform, and selected man as their can.

The WAR IN TURREY.-Hostilities
appear to be carried on with activity.
There has been much fighting with vary
ing success on either side. Both bcllige-
rents have possession of telegrphs, and
every battle is claimed as victory by
both, SO that it is difficult to understand
the situation. The news continues to be
generally uufavorable to the Servians, who
were defeated in battle of Friday near
Limborg aud again in an engagement on
the Servian frontier. The Montenegrips
are having better success in their share of
the campaign, as they are reported to have
surrounded Turkish Corps with good
prospects Of forcing it to surrender. The
Turks have been committing fearful afro
cities in Bulgaria, numbering women and
children and burning towns. The Rou-
manian army is to be prepared for active
service in view of the threatening aspect
of the situation. An arlnistiec between
the combatants is said to be likely, the
Great Powers being ready to further it at
the moment when it becomes possible,

Narth \. south.


A great deal Of yapid sentimentalism IS
poured out through northern journals, over
the Glow state Of civilization in the
South, whenever an outbreak or disorder
Of any character occurs in that section.
Had the Ticlhorn outrage at Newark, N.
j., and the stoning to death in the river
Of those misereants happened south of
Mason's and Dixon's line,it would have
been pointed to with scoru and the slopp-
ing over of much yirtuous indignation, AS
evidence OF the standardization Of that
benighted region. Had the Molly Ma
guirc assassins Of the mining region of
Pennsylvania been located South, tho
Federal Government would have boon
besieged for troops to protect the lives and
property Of the citizens, aud the howl of
''ku klux" would have been dinned in the
ears Of the public with deafening effect,
especially il an election were pending, as
now, in South Carolina. This IS the
secret Of the great ado raised over the
Hamburg outrage, Federal bayonets arC
needed there by tho Radicals to help then
to carry the elections, aud this Hamburg
affair affords them an opportune prctcxt
to call for troops On Tuesday last, at

and the occurrence located ut Charleston

have heard the last of this act of wantor
barbarism. But the boy was white, moi

New York, not Charleston or New Or

There was no especial turpitude in the act
calling for Federal Intervention. No evil

About 600 persons participated in the ex-

being the third annual one by Charity Lodge,

uniformed in dark suits, red baldrics and
belts, black hats with plumes and swords,
presented a fine appearance. They were ac-
companied by the Uniontown Silver Cornet
Band and the Mount Pleasant Band. Two
trains were necessary to convey the excur.
sionists to Baltimore, which place they reached
about $50 a. m. They formed in line and
marched to the steamboat wharf on Light
street, where they took the Steamer Pentz.
At the wharf they were received by James

The Duty Of American oitissns.

The Duty Of American Citizens.
II is common practice for the pulpit
to launch its denunciations against politics
and politicians. The effect has been to
drive many good men into state of in
difference or Of hostility towards politics,
and many persons refuse even to vote.
Did it never occur to these legates Of the
skies, that in republic such as ours the
people arc the source Of all power, that
they in fact are the government, and that
to govern wisely they ought to be thor
oughly versed in politics ? If good men
contemn politics, viii not the government
be left to the control Of bad men Poll
tics, rightly understood, is the science Of
government, and as this is government
Of the people, the people ought to make
themselves familiar with the science Of
government, il they mean to govern wisely
and we'll If it be wrong for the people
to participate in political affairs, It follows,
as logical sequence, that government
of the people is wrong, and instead Of
governing themselves they ought to be
governed. In other words, this sort Of
logic would lead to change Of our form
Of government, from government Of the
people to monarchy or despotism, where
the people are removed from the cares and
responsibilities Of government, and have
nothing to do but to obey the laws made
for them by others, or to submit to the
win Of those placed over them, or who
have placed themselves over hem. This
logical deduction FROM the promises 50
often thoughtlessly laid down by these
moral teachers, Is rather calculated to
shock rudely our notions of republican
government Perhaps they themselves
would be equally shocked at these legiti-
male conclusions from their own premises,
If made apparent to their mental pereep-
lions. Ifso, it is time for them to review
their premises and test the question as to
their soundness. IF they do not purpose
TO teach the surrender of power by the
people, let them pursue different chain

UNION MILLS ITENs.-0n Thursday, the
18th instant, we were visited by one Of the
heaviest and most disastrous rains that has
been experienced in this vicinity for many
years. Shortly after noon cloud was seen
gathering, and thunder was heard in the
northeast, but as slight showers were almost
daily occurrence, nothing more was antici
pated; soon, heweyer, we found that we had
been deceived, for suddenly the rain began
to fall in torrents and in few minutes the
ground was covered with water, and dry land
was almost instantly converted to rapid.run.
ming streams; at first there was but little wind
but suddenly the clouds veered from east to
west, the wind blew terrific gale, breaking
down and uprooting trees, scattering fences,
and even making our very dwellings quake
The vivid flashes of lightning followed by
deafenng peals of thunder added terror to
the scene. The storm continued about an
hour and half. Much damage was done
to cornfelds, fences, etc. 1t appears that
the rain did not extend over very large ex.
tent of country. During the storm a valuable
COW belonging to Mr.. Jacob Feeser was
struck and killed by lightning
Last week horse belonging To Mr.. John
Dutterer, of Silver Run, died from the effects
Of the heat
We have plenty of rain and an unusually
large corn crop is expected.
