Jacob n. Miller, sou of Col. Miller, the
hero Of the battle Of l.undy's Lane, was born
near New Oxford, Adams county, Pa. At
an early age he was cared for by his grand
mother, an estimable French lady, 10 whom
he was devotedly attached, and with whom
he sojonrned until the development of his
genius bid him rove in quest of food upon
which to satiate his talent At the age Of IL
he came to Manchester, Carroll county, mar.

there quietly spent the remainder oil his DAYS.
Suddenly, from heart disease, superinduced
by heat, at midday on the 10Th of July, after
enjoying hearty repast, he breathed his last

their tirst irreparable loss and his neighbors

New York Saa, one OF the old anti slavery
leaders, an assistant secretary OF war under
Mr.. Stanton aud the manager OF the Tri-
Jaae under Mr. Greeley, when il was the
great abolition organ, made the following
speech:

great pleasure to aid in ratiiying the nom-
ination of Samuel ]. I'ilden (applause]

dates Of the Democratic party. In my
Judgement i is Of the greatest Importance
to the people Of this country that these
candidates should be elected, and | will
Join hands with any man who desires and

government will be reformed that the
corruption which now threatens to destroy

enormous taxes which eat the fruit Of labor

dusiry aud the depression of business
which deprive so many men Of all employ

families out to starvation, will be ended,

Such are the representatives Of the Repub-

One would suppose that the decent men Of
such party, seeing its condition, would
require it to step down and out, TO hide its
face and to die from among men f; but, in
stead Of this it comes forward with candi
dates and platform to ask for the votes
of the people, and to make fight in the
election. The impotence, the effrontery
Of this proceeding exceeds everything ever

The Blight Of Radicalism.

Hundreds of workmen are out of en-
ployment at Wilmington, Delaware, and
are clamoring for work at any wages, to
enable them to keep their families from
starvation. There are other hundreds in
a similarly sad condition in Newark, New
Jersey. In that city delegations have
waited upon the mayor, and asked that
they might be given employment on the
streets. Bread riots are threatened in both
places. There is reason to believe that
the coming winter in the large cities will
be the seyerest upon the working classes
We have known in generation. Business
shows little or no signs of Improvement,
aud will not us long as the present corrupt
and plnndering party is retained in power.
Its whole policy tends to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer.-Bah. Gazette.

An Able and Pointed Letter.

Parke Goodwin, of New York, Liberal
Republican Of some prominence, and one
Of the Executive Committee of the Fifth
Avenue Cenferencein May last, has written
aletter to the Tii5Hne, favoring the election
Of Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks, and giving
his reasons for preferring them over Hayes
aud Wheeler, whose cause Carl Shurz and
some other members Of the same confer
ence have espoused Mr.. Goodwin COM
pares the two candidates, and shows very
cOnclusiyely, We think, the superiority of
Mr. Tildeu over Mr.. Hayes, and his grea-
ter fitness for the Presidency at this par
tieular juncture, when the great need Of
the country is retrenchment and reform in
the government. He also compares the
platforms Of the two parties, and demon
stra,es the superiority Of the Democratic
over the Republican on the great leading
issues of the canvass Nothing which has
appeared in the progress of the campaign
has created prOfounder sensation, or
brought out more distinctly the salient
points Of difference between the two par
ties, showing cOnclusively that the true
interests of the country win be best sub
served by the election of TiIden and Hen
bricks. We propose to publish the letter
entire in our next, and bespeak for it
careful pernsal.

Bg Telegraph to nc Ae'e York IsfoRNe
WAsalSeros, July "a. Gen. T.. Morris
Chester, leading coiored Republican politi.
clan OF Louisiana, called ON the President
this morning, and received from him assur.
ances that the Administration will furnish all
the necessary aid to Mr. Packard and the
Republican managers of Louisiana TO carry
the State next November. The President is
reported as having said 1--WE shall carry
Louisiana; we carry only three Of the South
err States the other two are North and
South Carolina, p The President also sent
a message to Mr.. Packard requesting him to
select good man for his successor in the
Marshals Office, and assuring him that the
means for making a most vigorous campaign
in the State viii be furnished. He said there
win be no lack Of money, and that il troops
are needed they also win be furnished.
The Tribune Is Republican journal,
and it is TO be presumed that its cores
pendent has ground for the above special
dispatch. Taking it to be true, is il not
monstrous that the President Of the United
States should lend himself to purpose Of
this characterg A purpose to employ
troops to carry the pending election,
and a pledge that there shall be 'no lack
Of money" Congress is still in session.
Let that body summon the author Of this
dispatch before it, and if it be true, let
Grant be impeached; or, if there be
any virtue in the so-called Enforce
ment Act" let it be applied to any and
all persons WHO shall dare thus to interfere
or conspire to interfere, with the freedom
Of the ballot. 1t Is nothing less than rev
olutionary, aud deserves the denuneiation
and execration Of every man who has a
particle Of respect for elective government.
The plebiscite Of Louis Napoleon, preceded
BY the midnight seizure and Incarceration
Of the best citizens of the realm, was not
a grosser or more outrageous act Of usur.
patton than a scheme like this. Our lib
critics are already in imminent peril, if the
bayonet is to supersede the ballot. The
sooner the people awake to sense of their
danger the better. When the right Of a
peaceful ballot is destroyed, ours is No
longer government Of the people.

Ii appears from Dun, Barlow 4 Cos
circular that In the first six months Of

period Of 1875 the number was but 1868.
amounting to s76,0OO,OOO. This some
what startling increase is modified BY the
fact that since the first Of March the num-

and the aggregate liabilities sci 900 900
less. This is the most hopeful sign that
