General Harrison oDanu tha nanrs.s


Gen. Harrison began his canvass for
Governor of Indiana at DanvilIe, on
Friday, August 18Th, where he spoke
to large meeting. and spoke for near
ly three hours, and almost entirely on
national politics; his only reference TO
State matter being firm advocacy of
such an amendment of the State Con-
stitution as would permit of the enact
ment Of rigid register law. He had
only single sentence for Hendricks,
which was, that if he had ever done
or said anything for his country in its
dark and trying hour, that history had
tailed to record it. He then took up
tho record of Tilden, beginning with
the Kent letter of 1860, which he char
acterized as the utterance of seces-
sionist, reading portions of 1t and COM
menting OH it at length, and with much
severity. He then took up i'll order
the letters of DR.. Russell, showing
that Tilden had the same sentiments
in March, 1851, and then proved the
same thing by his refusing to take part
in the war meeting in April, 1861, and
by the Chicago peace resolution of
1864. He then dwelt with Tilden as
Tweed's attorney, and tame REFORM
er. He was frequently interrupted by

TO-morrow's Coal Sale.

Since the announcement Of this much
talked-of auction sale, strenuous efforts
have been made by all those connected
with the coal interest to lead the public
TO believe that tho ruling prices to-
morrow will determine the lowest mar
ket rates, and that the coal trade gener-
ally Will improve from this time forward.
1t is very naturally thought that con-
sumers will hasten to lay in their winter
supplies whenever they deem the lowest
price for the season has been reached.
We fancy the four combined coal COM
panies interested in to-morrow's sale have
reckoned without their host There is
abroad very general belief that the prin-
cipal object of the joint action of these
four companies is TO establish through
this so-called auction sale an artificial price
for coal, with the hope that certain con-
cession from previous prices Will induce
corporations, dealers, and individuals to
buy with confidence, and thus relieve the
companies from the enormous load they
have been carrying during the slack
months. II Ia currently reported that tho
minimum rates at which the different lots
Of coal will be permitted TO be sold when
offered at auction tomorrow have been
already fixed without any assistance from
the outside public. Should bona-1de
buyers bid above these fixed limits they
Will get the coal; otherwise not The
public are deeply imbued with these views;
and while they hold these opinions, no coal
sale Of the magnitude Of the one proposed
can possibly be II success.

The bargain thus far has been faithfully

ton, where he secured the nomination of

mains TO be performed. His order TO Gen.

ERoN, Secretary Of War, by virtue of O
base bargain, will use enough OF the
American army in lawless raid
upon some of the most peaceful States
I'm the Union, to make forcible,
revolutionary, and reasonable seizure of
their electoral votes. We do not think he
will succeed. The people North and South
are sick OF these brutal outrages, and sick
Of being taxed TO supply the means for
their commission. Don, we imagine, will
find this more difiicult business than
using the police and stufling ballot-boxes
in Philadelphia; and the perversion Of
Federal funds to such n purpose may lead
to more serious consequences than have
ever followed a local attack upon the
Pennsylvania Treasury.

groes, who told him that they would not let ANY
damned Democrat go Inside Of that church. He
pushed them aside, said this was no day to quar-
rel, and walked into the church. As soon az the
preaching was over about four or five negroes
stepped up To Henderson and told him to re-

Having done all it could to prove the
existence of hell, the Sunday Democrat has
taken up the devil and for two weeks has be en-
engaged 10 showing his existence and power.
II speaks Of him as "his Satanic Majesty"
though the title is not to be found In the Scrip
lures. 1t argues that he exercises a mighty In
huence, not merely In the affairs OF men, but
even in the destinies Of nations, and shows,
both from history and Tradition, that he Yields an
Immense power. II quotes a poetical sketch OF
him, In which he IL described as a bideous being,
with wings like thunder clouds, with n brow
like the tempest-tossed ocean, and with an i'm
mortal face Of wrath. IL calls attention to the
strange fact that the DEVILS best friends, among
whom ~ includes EMANUEL kant, are the
Ioudest in denying his personality and power
The Democrats arguments have been interest
my; but we spprehend that some Of the obser-
vstions II has made, IN speculating upon the
devil. would not be sustained by the soundest
theoloQians OF the orthodox schools. There Ia
no doubt that the brief scriptural notice. OF the
devil have been wrought IN In an exaggerated

The American Association for the AID.

The American Association for the Ad-
vancemcnt Of Science is In session at Buffalo.
IL has certain advantages over the National

ciety chartered by Congress, which meets at

pers which are never published on such
themes as magic squares, the Ryroscope,
aud the chemical constitution of moon
beams In relation to the ravages OF tho potato
bug. 1t Is ponderous body, the qualifications
for induction into membership being a large
aod active acquaintance among those already
in. or the possession OF a good deal OF money,
and a foncness for entertaining at good dinners
scientific celebrities, who might otherwise have
TO dine less luxurlously. The Buffalo associl-
tion Ia got up on a different plan. 1t elects
members night and left, requiring only that the
candidate shall be a lover Of science and de-
voted to its diffusion. II Ia true that lis main
work Is in the way Of keeping up a general In
terest In the subject OF science, and In bringing
scientific men together. So far IL Ia OF service
but we trust that this year it will devote its at
tention to practical subjects, those only that
come within the scope OF science, which has to
deal with facts, and not occupy Its time with
metaphysical questions concerning whence we
came. where we are going, and the origin OF
creation and the universe. II the association
sticks to Its legitimate business It can De OF
some use; II II plays with the yagaries OF what
often goes nowadays for science but 10 no
