A STATE local option convention was
held in PittAburgh last week. The dele
gates were mostly ministers Of the gospel,
with a sprinkling Of lsymen, two or three
of the latter being members Of the present
Legislature. a vast number of speeches
were delivered and a resolution adopted in
favor Of the re-euaetment Of the local option
Law A. introduced AZ tho last session Of The
Legislature. We have carefully read the
proceedings of the convention aud fluid that
nothing new Sas said on the subject,
for the obvious reason that the question
has been exhausted and nothing new csH
lie said. Local option in this State, as
well as in every other state in which the
scheme of Prchibitory liquor legislation has
been tried. has proved a failure-ut,erly
impo;eut and impractiable. We had sup
loSed that after it had been practically
dcmonstI ated, time aud again, that lem
perance cannot be enforced by legislative
enactment, any further experiment in that
direction would not be attempted. The
reverend gentlemen, however, who met at
Pittsburgh seem not 20 have prOfited by
the experience of the past, and are deter
mined to resurrect the dead body of local
option and invest it with new legislative
life. We do not question their motives,
but their Efforts will be in vain. In this
State it has had its day, and the true
friends of temperance do not want to see
it revived only TO be openly violated and
treated with contempt. In five months the
Murphy movement, as it is called, has ac-
complished more for the cause of temper
ance in Pennsylvania than all the prohbi
tory aud local option legislation of the last
twenty five years. The victim of intem-
pei..llce may be rescued from it's iron grasp
by appeals I" his manhood. common sense
aud self-interest, but never by AN act of the
Leg is.ature.

THp Beaver Radical states tnat the con-
test for the Republican nomination for
Auditor General seems to have narrowed
down between Rceder, of Northampton,
and Pa.smore, of Schuylkill, that John y.
Lemon, of Blair, would have been the
nominee, had he pressed his claims, but
that he prefers to serve out his time in the
State Senate. We formed the opinion some
time ago, based on the tone of the Repub-
lican papers i'll Blair county, :hat Mr.
Lemon was pressing his claims with re-
markable vigOr and earuestucss. As the
R0dicaE is, however, the mouth-piece of
ex-senator Rutau and VI. F. Quay, Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, who know more
about fixing slate and manipulating n
convention than any other two Republican
leaders in the State, its announcement, as
given above, may be regarded as semi
official. The milk in this cocoanut is &C
counted for from the fact that Don Cam
eron wants Lemons vote IN the Repubi-
can caucus of the Legislature in January,
1879, to re-nomiuate him (CamerOn) for
United States Senator, and is therefore un-
willing to run the risk of the election of a
Democrat i'll this district next fall as John
a. Lemons successor.

ssThe fact is that Hayes, in adopting the
Democratic policy South, has signed the
death warrant Of these same rebellous gen.
tlemen, and, if he persists in carrying out
his civil service, which means to eliminate
political influence from two kinds of the
officers, he deals death blow to the party
itself. Now, you see that between these
antagonsms a President, fatally bent on
carrying out platform on which he was
nominated, and which the trainers forgot
as soon as it was promulgated ard the
party itself the feeling is desperate and
deadly. There is no relief, because there
can be no compromise. Half the work has
been accomplished. and the same firmness
and courage that have brought about this

late that it were better TO have a Demo-
cratic President carry out a Democratic

THE MARITAL TROUBLES Of AN Ex- Az
DIToR q GENERAL.-A special correspondent
of the Phila. Times, writing from Warren,
Pa, under date of May 20, says that Gen.
Harrison Allen, late Auditor General, is
having very spirited time in domestic
way. AS has already been stated he has
instituted proceedings against his wife for
divorce, and the matter is in the courts.
The other day, however, General Allen,
hearing that his wife at their home Was
entertaining a man named George Watson,
he went with the chief Of police OF this
place to arrest Watson who Is Titusville
man. At The front entrance to the house
Mrs. a len offered resistance, and when til e
door was forced in she discharged a pistol,
but without.injury to any one, although, the
policeman narrowly escaped. Watson who
had been surprised in the house, made his
escape out the back way and rode off
General Allen, with the policeman, pursued
in carriage. Watson fired a couple of
shots at them, which they returned, and a
fusilade was kept up for over two miles,
Watson finally abandoning his carriage
and escaping into .he woods. Watson is
reported to have returned to the Allen
house at night and sent word to the officers
that he did not intend to run away, but the
first man to interfere would get hunt. The
General some time since abandoned his
fine residence to his wife.

FEARFUL accident occurred A. Chester
IN this State, OF, last Tuesday morning,
while preparations were in progress for
launching the largo iron steamship Saratoga
at Roach's shipyard. Without a moments
warning the vessel started prematurely
down the stocks. and before the men at
work under her sides could get out of the
way seven Of them were crushed to death
aud number Of others more or less seri

seems that the order given them TO come

"A most unprovoked and wanton muir

Shortly after he saw the same negro lean

friend. He ordered the negro To come to
him, but the black man refused and ran
into the house OF his friend. Jeffries fol-
lowed, but was prevented from entering
the house by the negro holding the door
