to have intimated that the Porte, in spite

HURDEROUS SHOOTLNGS.

Louisville, August IA special dis.
patch to the Courier. Journal, at Harris.
burg, KY, says: News has just reached
here to-day of two serious shooting affairs
that occurred yesterday in the edge ol
Washington. county and near the Mercer
line. ....
Maxville was the scene of one difficulty
in which John Sutterfeld shot and kill.
ed John Buttes, man of family. The
fatal termination of this affair was the
result of a previous difficulty over sack
of -four, Sutterfeld being a miller.
Gardner's store, near Millersburg, was
where the other fight occurred in which
several families took part and was the re-
newal of former fracas. Several of the
Royalties, Gardners, Cases and Sheridans
were participants. One man Sheridan
was shot through the head and killed
outright. Gardner was shot through the
arm, and one case in the wrist Twenty
or thirty shots were fred and probably
others wounded whose names could not
be learned.
L. S. Brown, who was shot yesterday
in this county, was wounded in five diff
ferent places, every one from the revolv-
er taking effect in his body. The boy

A CINCINNATI HOLOCA UST.

Cincinnati, Aug. 3-Pestering's cigar
box factory, corner of Eighth and Broad.
way, was burned this morning. Twenty.
two girls were working in the upper sto-
ries, and it is reported four of them per-
ished in the flames. The fire originated
in the cellars. An attempt was made to
extinguish it without the aid ofthe fire
department, but was unsuccessful After
reaching the first floor the flames spread
with fearful rapidity, and in an incredibly
short time had reached the roof. The
employees, mostly girls, were at work in
the third and fourth stories. Some es-
capped through the windows upon the
roofs of other buildings, but it is feared
eight or ten perished in the flames. At
this writing four bodies have been recov-
cred so disfgured that it was an hour be-
fore any of them could be identified. Bits
of clothing still remaining led to the iden-
tifcation of Mary Merrill, twenty years
old, Nena Keub, fourteen, Frank Studeur
twenty, Anna Patgsr. John Blanchard,
engineer in the factory, died soon after
from injuries received. Two girls and
one man, Isaac SCofeld, we're so badly
burned that they will probably die. From
the factory the fire spread to six frames
and one brick dwelling, which will prove
a total loss. The amount of losses Is not
yet estimated.

TEE Plevna disaster is serious de.
feat to the Russians, and the consequent
Ces may be serious. The Turks were iso-
lated, and their forces are put at $4,000
men, which were behind intrenchments
which we're equivalent to 100000 men.
The Russians took about one half the
needed force for the attack, and we're ul-
timately beaten, not that their soldiers
did not fight well, but because they were
exhausted when the supreme moment
came. Pleyna was actually taken, but
the force at hand was not equal to hold
ing it. When fresh forces came to the
aid of the Turks, the wearied Russians
were unable to stand up against them.
Such was the cause of the bloody defeat.
1t is evident the Russian armies are
not directed with master head, nor
handled with master hands. Their Asi.
attic campaign is failure, and they have
not accomplished much on the Danube.
Of course the power Of Russia is great,
and she will doubtless overcome Turkey
in the end but it must be admitted that
Turkey ia exhibiting greater powers and
endurance than was expected.

wounded began little way beyond Bull
gareni and extended in unbroken line
for seven miles along the road to Sistova.
They were mostly carried in ox-Carts, Sc
we're cases in ambulances,and large num-
bers tramped on foot. Immense numbers
Of the wounded had tramped the whole
way from the battlefield and were al
ready entering Sistova at 6 o'clock yes
terday evening, They must have walked
forty miles in twenty.four hours, wound
ed as they were. nearly all these wound
ed, however, consisted of men who had
some how managed to walk out of the
battle. The bad cases were mostly left
where they fell.
A staff officer, with whose estimate l
am. inclined to agree, thinks the whole
force lost between six and seven thous.
and men killed and wounded. The brig
ade of the 32d division has suffered most
heavily. Besides a terrible loss of men,
it sacrificed the Imperial banner Of one
Of its regiments.

"A STRONG government, many people
imagine, is only to be obtained by a
large standing army. In connection
with the army, of course, comes a Ma
tional Debt, and an aristocracy ofwealth
through Government favortism. All
this is a mistaken idea, as all history will
show. That Government is strong which
is built upon and maintains Justice. Such
government is enthroned in the hearts
of the people, every one of whom has a
direct interest therein in its preserva-
ton. Such a government is not one of
force, maintaining one portion, and that
but small, in lofty pre- eminence; and
the rest, much the larger part, of the
people, in oppressive and unnatural SUBJ
lection.
Under just government, the citizens
are all equal before the law. No favor
itism exists, to make some few immense
ly wealthy, and the toiling millions suffer
ers in consequence,
History shows that the freest govern
ments are the strongest. In such, each
citizen is directly interested. The con-
dition of all is equal as TO opportunity.
Real worth and merit are appreciated
and utilized. The French Revolution,
that swept away its aristocracy, develop
ed the talent and energy of that people
to an extent never before witnessed.
The little state of Attica, in ancient
Greece, was able to meet and overcome
the power of the immense Persian en-
pire at Marathon and Salamis. Her
ten thousand citizen soldiers defeated
100000 Persians, and 900 ships over
came I4oo Persian vessels.
Many other instances might be cited
to show that unjust and iniquitous gov
ernment weakens, while just and i'm
partial public policy makes prosperous,
happy and powerful people,
"Ill fares the land, to threatening ills prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade,
A breath can make them, as a breath has made"

As to the singular story printed in the
New York Sun, and to be found in this
paper, that the opinion of Justice Brad.
ley, as originally read by him to Justices
Clifford and Field, of the Electoral Com
mission, gave the vote of Florida to Til
den, and that under the pressure of
bribes, intimidation or persuasion, he
changed it so that it gave the vote of the
State to the fraudulent President, the
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
The night upon which the Commission
rendered its decision in the Florida case,
the Washington correspondent of the
Enquirer had interviews with Judge Alb
bot and Senator Bayard, members of the
Commission. Both expressed surprise
at Bradley's vote, inasmuch as his argu-
ment, upon which it is presumed he bas-
ed it, was wholly in favor of counting
the votes of the Tilden electors; and yet,
despite such reasoning, he voted, to the
great surprise of the Democratic men,
bers, for the Hayes electors. Senator
Bayard said at the time he did not be-
lieve there was a single member on the
Commission, unless, indeed, he had been
apprised in advance, that when Bradley
concluded the reading of his argument
but what expected he would record his
vote for the count Of the Tilden electors.
Bradley, it is not at all improbable,
was bought up on that momentous night
by Republican politicians and railroad
jobbers, who thronged his house from
nine O'Clock until daylight.

FIRING ON. THE RIOTERS.

Reading, Pa, Aug. THE coroner's
jury in the case of the recent riots rend-
cred verdict to-day acquitting the SOL
diers composing the Fourth Regiment
from any blame for firing on the rioters,
taking into consideration the fearful peril
in which they were placed. Ifany blame
attaches to the military it must be borne
by General Bolton, who ordered them to
Reading. The responsibility for the ter.
rible tragedy is directly attributed to
those who compose the lawless body,wh
were instigating the riotous proceeding,
and the mob is primarily responsible for
all subsequent trouble and bloodseed.

JUDGE West, Republican candidate for
Governor, made a speech the evening Of
his nomination, and more contempti.
BILE exhibition Of demagoguery it would
be difficult TO find. He is evidently a
man of small calibre, and anything but a
manly man. Hear him.
Il hold no railroad bonds, or railroad
stocks, that my interests may be differ
ent from those of any other man, and
never did. | hold no untaxed govern
ment bonds, never did and never ex.
pect to. Ihold no bank stock, never did,
and never expect to; and, financially, |
suspect ! ap about as impartial between
capital and labor as any one without
finances possibly can be. 1t has been a
habit of my life, the education of my life,
to be in sympathy more with the indust-
ry of my country, than with the capital
Of my country.
He went on in this manner for some
time. Now, "untaxed government
bonds;" subsidy land robbing schemes,
National banks, &C., are all the work of
the Republican party, whose candidate
he is, These wrongs heassisted to fasten
on then oflaboring men and upon the
honest business Of the country. AS we
say, such stuff as this, from such quar-.
ter, only raises contempt instead of admi-
ration.
We know nothing Of Judge Vests cir.
cumstanCes. But the instruments of tyr
amy are usually more despicable than
the tyrants whom they serve. Judge
JefTries, of James II. was an unfeeling
savage, while his master only erred in
judgment.
The tyranny and evil policy of the rad
ical party of this country will compare
with the infamy of any former period OF
almost any land. Never was a country
worse and more corruptly governed than
this. Never did baser instruments serve
a party, or trample under foot law ard
equity with more unctious effrontery
Even now, their President is such by
fraud most foul, virtually, nay really, &C.
knowledged by his own act in admitting
the election of Wade Hampton and
Nichols; for if those gentlemen carried
respectively South Carolina and Louis
lana, 80 did Tilden and Hendricks.
But this virtuous Uriah Heep, the rad
ical candidate for Governor, sanctions
and approves all these wrongs and rob
berries, and yet puts on Yirtuous airs. He
Assumes virtue though he has it not.
