Governor Tilden's Acceptance,

When thecommittee appointed by the
Democratic national convention waited
upon Gov. Tilden, at Albany, and mott
fed him of his nomination, the governor
replied as follows
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE I
shall at the earliest convenience prepare
and transmit to you formal acceptance
of the nomination which you now tender
to me in behalf of the Democratic ma
tional convention, and | do not desire
on this occasion to anticipate any topic
which might be appropriate to that COM
munication. 1t may, however, be per-
mitted to me to say that my nomination
was not mere personal preference be-
tween citizens and statesmen of this re-
public, who might very well have been
chosen for so distinguished an honor and
for SO august duty. 1t was rather a
declaration of that illustrious body in
whose behalf you speak, in favor of ad-
ministrative reform, with which events
had associated me in the public mind
The strength, the universally and the
efficiency of the demand for admins
trative reform in all governments, and
especially in the administration of the
Federal government, with which the
Democratic masses everywhere were in
stinct, have led to series of surprises
in the popular assemblages, and per-
haps in the convention itself. 1t would
be unnatural, gentlemen, if a popular
movement so genuine and so powerful
should stop with three and e-half mil
lions of Democrats; that it should not
extend by contagion to that large mass
of independent voters who stand be,
tween parties in our own country and tc
q portion of the party under whose ad
ministration the evils to be corrected
have grown up. And perhaps in what
we have witnessed there may be an
augury in respect to what we may wit
ness in the election about to take
place throughout our country, at least
let us hope and believe so.
/ am not without experience of the
difficulty and the labor of effecting adj
ministrative reform when it requires 8
revolution in policies and in measures
long established in government. If
were to judge by the year and half il
which | have been in the State govern
ment, / should say that the routine du
ties of the trust have had imposed OF
me are o small burden compared
with that created by the attempt &c
change the policy of the government o.
which have been the executive head
Especially is this 40 where the reform il
to be worked out with more or less o.
the cooperation Of public officers, whc

either have been tainted with the evils
TO be redressed, or who have been inca
pacitated by habit or federation of the
wrongs to be corrected, to which they
have been consenting witnesses.
l, therefore, if your choice should be
ratified by the people at the election,
should enterupon the great duties which
would fall upon me, not as holiday rec
reation, but very much in that spirit Of
conservation III which the soldier enters
battle. But let us believe, as 1 do be-
lieve, that We noty see the dawn of a bet
ter day for our country, and that, diff
cult as the work to which the democratic
party, with many of theallies and former
members of other parties, has addressed
itself, the republic is yet to berenovated
to live in all the future and to he trans
mitted to future generations as Jefferson
contributed to form it in his day, and
in which it has been ever since, until a
recent period, blessing to the whole
people.

Fixing n Responsibility.

A deplorable accident. resulting in
the death of twenty-one persons and the
wounding of forty-nine more, which
happened on one of the Spanish rail
ways between Cervera and Tarrega on
the twenty-frst of June, has been fol
lowed up by the introduction in the
Cortes of bill providing that whenever
railroad disaster can be distinctly
traced to negligence or bad manage
ment on the part of the company or its
servants, the company shall be com.
PEELED to pay fine of $4,000 to the
family of every person who is killed,
and fine of $1,000 to the family OF
every person incapacitated for labor,
and to pay $5a day to every wounded
person SO long as he or she may be com
PEELED to be abed under surgical care
This stringent measure was introduced
by Senior Fernandez Cadorniga anC
seems likely enough to become the law
in Spain. 1t will strike all railroad
stockholders no doubt as harsh ant
severe. But if it should PASSIVE suspect
there will not be many railway accidents

Struck by Winter lightning {!

On Monday morning the 28th ult, about
81 or 10 0 clock, the stone house known as
the Old Trach Hotel of Hamilton township
this county, now owned and occupied by
Andrew Mixsell, was struck by lightning, it
striking the chimney and knocking the whole
eastern gable end down, from the peak of
the roof to the caves and the whole end
cracked badly. All the doors and the wind
ows were knocked off the hinges or smashed
up to the hall, which embraces about one
half Of the building. The half of the house
is considerable of wreck.
The family escaped unharmed, they being
in the other half Of the house at the time,
though an iron pan setting on the stove near
which they were setting was knocked off by
the conclusion.
The building was not set on fire, but the
des truction of property was remarkable.

The Susquehanna, Pa, Gazette, is au-
thority for the following story A family
consisting of father, mother and three
children, passed through here on Tuesday
morning, afoot. They had walked from
Vincenncs, Ind, and were on their way to
a small place near Goshen, n. Y, where
relatives seside. The parents each carried
a child, and the father wheeled the eldest
one in baby carriage. When the father
left Vincennes he had $40 when he reach
ed here, he had fifteen cents. A portion
of the $40 was spent in purchasing three
new sets Of tire for the wheels of the
carriage, The family had slept in police
station houses, barns, farm houses, deserted
houses and in the woods. They had for
the most part begged their victuals, and in
some cases they had purchased crackers at
stores and bread at farm houses. The
father said he was carriage trimmer by
trade, and had been thrown out of employ
ment by the burning the shop in which he
worked. The family, entire, showed signs
of better time. Considering everything,
they presented a very tidy appearance
There is an old and true saying "One-half
of the world knows not how the other half

WHEN there is nothing else to write about
ii Is just as easy as falling off of log" tc
drop right into a reflection as to how neces-
sary it is that our borough should own several
cisterns properly located for fire purpose.
Just think of hearing the fire alarm at mid
night, and then how handy it would be to
run the steamer to a corner handiest to the
scene of condagration, and there find els
tern chuck full Of water, all ready to be forced
upon the burning building Men would work
with a will then and without confusion, be-
cause there would be no running, and wear
ing themselves out with hootings and below
iugs for this necessary antidote to flames.
The result would be that the fire would uIake
TO headway and the original cost of the els
terms would be more than saved in the very
first necessity for their use. Borough Faith
ers think Of this before you retire from Office.
Let us have ciatorns.

g-Thc Senate of Pennsylvania, Republi-
can, has eyinccd steady desire to adjourn
on the hundredth day OF the session. The
House, Democratic, however, opposes any
such notion, though there is no business on
hand that need require the extension OF the
session beyond that time. The fact is, how
ever, that large majority ofthe Democratic
members feel it in their boueS," that when
the day Of adjournment comes their legisla-
tive homes vii be permanently ended. They
know that as legislators they have proved
failures and that for them no second tidal
wave will food the land and float them in
10 power. If ever complete exhibit of the
true meaning of the word failure was brought
to view, the result of the experiment of plac-
ing Democratic majority in the House Of
Representatives at Harrisburg has made that
exhibit. We know nothing equal to it in
wofulpess of results unless it be the action
of the Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives at Washington.
