We hardly know which will be re-
ceived with the greatest exultation at
the South. the fact that the election of
Gov. Tilden will mean the overthrow Of
carpet bag thievery and bayonet tyran-
nv, or the fact that it will mean the
preservation of law-abiding liberty
throughout all its borders.
The entire constitutional power Of the
President will be welded to uphold order
and put down rascality. The Jacksonian
horror oJ chievery, the Sacksonian de-
testation Of rioters, the Jacksonian will
and the Jacksonian courage unite in
Gov. Tilden.
Order and Liberty, Purity and Peace
these are the blessings the election of
Gov. Tilden will confer on the South.

Smith, Of Lehighton, Secretary. w.
W. Brown, Of Erie, Pa was the first
to address the meeting. He spoke logi-
cally and eloquently for about 80 min-
utes reviewing the history OF the Re-
publican and Democratic Administra-
tion, financially and politically. Mr..
Bertolette, of Mauch Chunk, spoke of
the character of the candidates for Office
in this county. The eclosing speech was
made by Mr.. Jackson, OF Mercer county,
Pa. He was the orator of the evening,
but owing to the lateness OF the hour,
necessarily made short speech. The
meeting adjourned at 1890 O'Clock.
The audience was about $50 persons, of
whom 200 had participated in the pa
rade before the meeting. - 140 from
Mauch Chunk and 60 from Lehighton,
with torches and band of music. The
affair was a success.

Carbon County Fair.
Before our next issue our County
Fair will have opened, been in full
blast and passed. Tuesday next Is the
opening day, and Friday the closing.
The products Of our farmers will then
again be exhibited TO the public, and,
as our crops have been heavy this year,
the display, no doubt will he large and
fine. II officers of the Society seem
to be sparing no exertions to make this
FAIR grand success. The premiums
have been increased In nearly all the
departments, and the grounds and
buildings put in condition to make
all visitors comfortable. Every prOvis-
ion has been made for exhibitors, for
the accommodation OF their stock, ma
chiDery, products, goods, etc. The
show of animals, including the stable
and poultry yard, will be, as usual,
very attractive. The attractions of the
race course, for the trial of our own
stock, to properly emulate in the pro-
duction and Improvement OF rst.class
horses, will be fine this year. Our
county has gentlemen of taste, who
have good horses. Fair week Is the

something call It chance, or fatality,
or whatever you please which put the
despoled Murray on the track OF the
thief and burglar. In short, one morn.
ing in the forepart OF this week, a re-
specta BILE young man called at Mr..
Ms store for the purpose OF purchas-
ing n pair of CATERS. lie wore boots,
which, as was at once apparent to the
experienced eye Of wax ind" lily fit
ted him. To try on the CATERS chosen,
the young man in question dive5ted
himself Of one of his boots, In which
the victimiIed shoe maker thought he
recognized mate to pair stolen from
him a year and half ago ard having
slyly substituted one of his own for the
one pulled of by the unsuspecting
young gentlemen, and which the latter,
urhesitatingly donnCd, Murray asked
an explanation, and from his customer
learnt that it was one Of pair OF his
brothers (Buckshot's) boots, which,
his shoes being worn out, he had bOr-
rOWed to wear that morning. This ex.
planatiOn, satisfactory To the shOemak-
or in so far as his customer was con
cerned, put him on the track of the real
thief, who had always been customary
lounger in his store, and, at the time Of
the commission of the burglary, had de-
claimed ldudest against the thieves. In
the course uf time Murray obtained a
warrant, and when arrested, "Buck-
shot" owning the corn, offered to set
tie : but he and DE officer being unable
to come to terms, he at last gave that
functionary the slip for parts unknown.

Morgan Powell Murder.

The Shenandoah Herald of last Fri
day, furnishes the following testimony
of Charles Muiherrin, as given at the
habeas corpus hearing Of Fisher and
McKenna, at Pottsvlle on Thursday of
last week
Charles Mulherrin, who plead guilty
Of having been engaged In conspiracy
TO murder the Majors, was the first
witness placed upon the stand at the
bearing given Fisher and Mcksnna, and
his story given in condensed shape is
somewhat As follows Mulhcrrin said
that he did not remember the date upon
which Morgan Powell was murdered,
but as We before mentioned in the Her
aid that the murder was comm tied urn
on the I'd of December, 1871 our readers
VIII no doubt excuse his memory for
being rather shaHy upon that point.
The WltDass then went on to say that
on dTeary afternoon Jack and Mat
DOnOhue came to him while he was at
Maley's saloon in TnmaQua, and that
Jack asked him n go to Summit Hill
with them for a bottle OF medicine that
he (Jack) wanted for his sister INLAY
Mulherrin went to Summit Hill with
them and there met Tom Fisher and
Big" Pat. McKs ma, The Eve men
strOlIed about for while and then ram
bluH down street the name of which
Mllherrin didn't know as il was his
Ehrst visit to the place, and after wan
dpriIg about for some time Jack DOnO.
hue remar ked that he would go into DR..
DonOhue's TO get his medicine. Wheth.
er or not it was TO the doctors he went
MulherriD pleadinnocent, but that "Ycl-
low Jack" did enter some house the
witness was certain, and he was also
positive that DOnOhue said after hh
came out that the doctor wasn't in. 4"
They then walked up the street again
and Fisher said that Morgan Powell
was in his off ce and that he was not
alone The Office referred to must have
been Wiliamson's store, for Mulherrin
said that after Fisher had looked IN the
window they stepped back into the
shadow and that in few minutes Pow
ell came out, when McKenna an Dono-
hue made toward him. Witness heard
a cap snap and then Shot saw
Powell fall and heard him cry out,
" I'm shot" when they all ran, three
in one direction and two in another.
MuIberrin and the two DOnOhues made
their way back to ramaqua safely, and
in few days Tom Fisher came to Ma
ley's saloon and gave JACK DOnohue
thirty dollars, telling him to divide it
with his brother Mat. and advising him
10 give .dulherrin few dollars. Fisher
also said that he had done his best to
raise hundred dollars, but the times
were hard and more than thirty dollars
he couldn't scrape. This is about the
gist of MulherriL's testimony, and 1t
certainly places " Yellow Jack" in an
unenviable position, but the last straw
that breaks the camel's back in his case
was laid upon his ugly carcass By John
j. Slattery, who testified that John
DOnohue told him that he fired the
shot that killed Morgan Powell" More
astounding particulars than the above
are yet to be made in this case, and be-
fore the 10th of October, when the case
is expected to be called, 5here will be
others beside Jack and Mat. DonOhue,
Charles Mulherrin, Tom Fisher, Fat.

terry deeply interested in 1t.

noon, was ascending ladder in the
fort Allen Foundry, at Wri,sport, with
a revolver in the breast pocket Of his
coat, muzzle upwards, when by some
means the pistol was discharged, the ball
passing through the lapel Of the coat
and entering his face below the cheek
bone, passing upwards and backwards,
it penetrated the center of the brain,
Der was immediately on the ground, but
was unable to reach it with his instru-
ments. Ike above being the Dr'S. tpsti-
mony before the jury of inquest. The
community deeply syiupathise with the
parents in their sudden bereavement.
This should prove warning to our
young men to give up the prevalent Gus
tom OF carrying 1eyolvers about d cir
persons. In community like our, it
is entirely unnecessary and should be
strictly forbidden by parents.
THE funeral will take place from his
