On the other are the enemies of the

Senator Wallace in this way "Tbe

AGooD PLEA.-Theplea Of Sitting Bul
that his followers should be allowed tC

"when we get into al agency we can

what d~ecency al they provoke dis
order at the exposure Of the crimes Of

pared to indulge in lawless acts? True,
they lawlessly supplantcd Tilden. Are
they willing to go further, and invoke
disorder by tumultuous opposition t.
retribution for their crimesl The great
mass of the people, in both parties, will
frown down any such rebellious hos
tility TO the lawful exercises of the
power Of Congress. Although Gen
Grant was elected in 1869 without the
vote OF New York, yet Republicans ia
Congress In 1869 passed a resolution
for the appointment of a committee tc
investigate the frauds in New York
city, and the excuse they gave was
"that It was necessary to expose the
frauds for fear they might be practiced
in the future in the election OF a Pres.
ident." The Butler Herald says II II
was necessary to do so in 1869, why
not now, especially when every reason,
able man knowstherc were frauds com
mittcd in Florida and Louisiana. 1,
will be seen also, that Republicans il
1869 made n precedent for Democrats
to follow in 1878, and, therefore, they
ought not to complain.

A PRoMIsouous GATHEaING.-A Con,
vention of Prohibitionists, Murphyites,
Local Ortionists, etc, male and female,
met in Altoona, on Wednesday last,
and put ticket No. A into the field.
Captain Dowler, Of Burnside, and T.
Benton Dudley were scored as the dele
gates from Clearfield county. Little
Blair had ten delegates, four of whom
were Hon. Archibald McCallister, Mrs
Nee, Miss Ida Nee, and Miss Sallie
McC. Cambria turned out a good
flock too, among them Hon. A. A,
Barker, V. S. Barker and Miss Z. V.
Barker. These two families were the
"heavy weights" in the Convention,
from the fact that the fathers at one
time were both Congressman, and they
have tried various ways to get back
again, but it looks bluer now than
over, since they have cut loose from
the parties to which they belonged
and mounted the hobby-horse which
they are riding to death. Tho resolu'
tons adopted allude to everything,
female suffrage in particular, but settle
nothing. All the chief leaders in the
movement were broken.down political
hacks belonging to both parties, ard.
of course, ready for improvements in
religion, morals, political economy, etc.
but being as weak in the flesh as the
balance of the race, il is very doubtful
whether they will commit many re.
forms during the present perverse gen

British Channel between Calais and

ror. On the 31st ult., two German
steamers ran into each other, having
on board over 900 persons. As may
be imagined, the details of the disaster
are most horrifying. The colliding
vessels were the Kaiser and the Gross
er Kurfurst. The weather at the time
of the disaster was fine and calm, and
what led to the collision Is q mystery,
Both vessels were under full Roadway
when the Kaiser Wilhelm ran into the
Grosser Kurfurst. The shock was ter.
rife, the latter vessel filling with water
and sinking within five minutes after
the collision. TO add to the horrors OF
the situation, the boilers OF the vessel
exploded, scattering death and dcstruc.
ton in every direction. From all re.
ports received, It is believed that nearly
four hundred persons lost their lives
by the disaster,

Howc's attack on Hayes has brought

woods, He has turned up in Wash
ington with a new assortment Of oatbs,
which no drops as he passes along
Pennsylvania Avenue between the
White House, and the Capital. The

says:
"Thc venerable Zaohariah Chandler Is said to
have brought with him To Washington several
quaint and curious forms Of profanity Of his owu
Invention during his late respite from the actiy,
cares Of office. II Is also said that one Of his oath
Is liable to be fifteen minutes In passing a given
point"
This Chandler was the Chairman Of
the Radical committee in 1875, but
Hayes Southern policy banished him
to the Northwest and he now assumes
the role of the ground hog by coming
out of his hole, to SEQ how Howe and
