If the Intelligeneer don't know, it
could have learned by easy stages that
the Democratic candidate tor this Office,
Judge JOHN w. KENNEDY, has capas.
ity and fitness tor the duties of this Office
which have heretofore been tested and
recognized, and doubtless will be recog-
nized at the polls to morrow by many
citizens who will vote "free from the
vicious influence of party politics" .--
But we do not believe that this "call to
arms" by the Intetligeneer will have the
effect o. drawing the party lines We
don't desire TO see it, even though it
should. as it certainly would, result in the
defeat of its candidate. 1t is not = po-

should consider that one is a Democrat

REMOVAL OF SECRETARY sHER-
MAN DEMANDED.

The silent policy adopted by Secretary
SHERMAN in regard to his management
of the finances and the measures he is
maturing for the future, has drawn upon
him very general fire from those who
have hobbies OF their own in this connec.
ton. The very fact that he is studiously
reticent, and refusing any information
as to the policy of his department, inten.
sites the suspicion that it is not such q
pe licy rs would meet with public sppro-
baton. His old antagonists IN the Sem
ate are after him demanding that he
show his hand. They charge him with
quietly working out schemes in reference
to the finances that be advocated in, and
we, g repudiated by the United Stats
Senate.
And now comes the Washington Ma
tom with double loaded editorial de-
manding of President HAYES that he re-
move u6 OSCEcSdTy. IL sdfo'
"The time has arrived when President
Hayes must recognize that the financial
cor dition OF the country is the great
question with which his administration
will have to deal. He must recognize
further that the present Secretary OF the
Treasury totally misrepresests the popular
,ril.
There is no other hope for return to
prosperity through the careful manage
ment of the government. Secretary
Sherman must be requested to resign,
and his portfolio given to some one with
very different ideas upon finance.
There Is not q position Under the gov
ernment which Mr.. Sherman would not
fl with benefit to his country, except
the one be now holds. But this one he
must not continue to hold. The Presi-
dent may not see the necessity tor such u
course now, but sooner or later Secretary
Sherman piN hare TO be requested TO retire.
In the meantime, SHERMAN keeps his
mouth sealed. He even grows irritable
and proiane when the fruitful imsgina-
tions OF newspaper correspondents fcre.
shadow q policy for him. He is en-
deavoring, he claims, to carry out liter
ally the demands Of the act providing
for the resumption of specie payments IN
1879. Blu. his nervousness under the
nosing operations of his opponents would
seem to justify the suspicion that ne is
not altogether frank.

Rrfchifnl Accident.

CHESTER, Pa, May 22.-This morn
ing, the Saratoga, large iron steamer
which ives to be launched at Roach's
shipyard, started from its blocking sooner
than was expected, killing and wound
ing many. Six dead bodies have been
recovered.
About forty mon were under the Sar-
stogs when she went of. An order was
given for them to come out, but it was not
heard. The names of the killed, as tar
ss known, are Edwsrd Fowley, John
Nelson, Chas. Wright and Edward
Burke. The wounded are Geo. Woof,
mortally, and Barney Cannon and Wal
ter Parkinson, seriously; 1t is thought
that some of the workmen were killed
and dragged into the water by the ship.
The bodies ofthe dead are horribly man
gled, one being literally cut in halves
and others with their legs and arms torn
of. The ship yard is thronged with
friends and relatives OF the victims, and
presents very distressing scene.
The total number OF dead in conse.
quence ot the accrient at the shipyard ls
seven. In addition to those reported j.
j. Crew was instantly killed, and Geo.
.. Wood and Barney Cannon died at |
O'Clock this morning. Three persons
were wounded, sll ofywhom will re-
cover. All OF the killed aud wounded
were workmen employed at the yards.
and were engaged in knocking the
blocks from under the ships keel. The
scene during the time the ship was going
off was heart.rendiDg, the men being
seen struggling to escape while the huge
blocks rolled by the ship
crushed them to jelly. No assis-
tsnce could possibly be rendered
by those who were standing by. Iustesd
OF cheers as usually greet launch, wall
of anguish went up, and shrleks OF pain
rent the air AS soon rs possible the
dead aud wounded were carried to the
yard office and physicians summoned.
About 1900 men are employed at the
yard, and friends of nearly all of them
rushed to inquire for them. Flags are at
half mast throughout the town and work
at the yard has been stopped.
John Roach has ordered money to be
furnished to the families of the killed
and wouGGed.
John Fountain, who had entire charge
Of the launch, makes the following state.
ment: l found the ship was ready 10
move and called for al hands to
get out from under before commenced
cutting loose. The men who were down
by the after blocking evidently did not
hear the order or did not ob,y it, as they
had fully five minutes to get out, from
the time the order was given until the
ship started. Some of the men remained
under, which is frequently the case, to
attend TO the forward blocking.
CHESTER PA- May 22.-All the men
who were under the Saratoga just pre-
viously to launching her to-day, have
been accounted for. No additional desths
have occurred among the injured, and
the limit of the number killed may now
be set at seven. An il quest will be held
to. morrow morning.
