COLoEED DENoCRACY.-Thc announce
mcnt that the Rev. Jas. II. Carey, the
principal leader of the ColOrcd Demo
cratic Club OF Shepherdstown, would
make Il Democratic speech here on Satur-
day night last, drew together around the
stand Il. the Courthouse large number
of our white citizens and 4 good many
colorcd ones, although the majority .of
the latter, not being willing to hear the
truth from one of their own race, held
aloof from the meeting. The speaker adj
dressed his cOlOred brethren in Il sound,
practical vein, and in the early part OF
his speech related that he had been fore
warned that afternoon that he had better
not come to Charlestown; that the color
cd people here intended TO clay for him,
and he would not return alive. lie said
that he was better prepared To die than to
live, and that If he did die lie would die
in the cause of Democracy and right; and
that whether he died or lived, Hancock
and English would be the next President
and Vice President Of the United States,
as they would be whether the colored yo-
tiers of Jefferson gave them their suflrages
or not tie asserted that the emancipa-
ton OF the slaves was not dIe 10 the
goodness of The Republican party, but 10
the mysterious workings of Divine Prov
idence; that the Republicans had seen
the opportunity and embraced it, to Use
them as tools for their own advancement,
and they had since the war been greater
slaves than ever before. That they did
not exercise the free right of suffrage, but
only voted as their Republican masters
directed. "Brothcr," he said, he had
sometimes remarked to one, Chow are
you going to votc?' Promptly the an
swcr would come, go, dunno; haven't
heard from Harpcr's Ferry yet" The
Republican party, he said, was the par
ty of false promises; and on the other
hand the Democratic party had remained
through all these years unchanged. He
was sure of the election Of Hancock and
English, and believed that four years of
a bcneiicent Democratic administration
would do more to convince the colored
race of their erroneous beliefs than all
the talking that could be done. At the
same time he warned them to come into
the Democratic camp in time. His speech
throughout was one of earaestness and
kindness to those of his race, and should
have had the effect of convincing those
that heard him Of the soundness Of his
advice.-Spirit.

with a few frame dwellings, at the north
ern end, and old Castle William at the
southern extremity. The boat landing
is at the northern end of the island, and
faces Brooklyn. From The landing a
wide avenue extends southwark, TO the
right of which are rows Of cannon and
cannon balls. An avenue leading from
the left of this winds through a delight
ful grassy lawn, made shady by many
trees, fronting upon which are dozen
or more plain frame dwellings occupied
by the various officers quartered on the
island. The Generals headquarters are
in building near the lower end Of this
avenue. As place of residence the
island has its advantages and disadvan-
tages.

The Move Against ObstructiOn-Glad-
 stone Opposes the Res0IutiOn-A SpIr-
 ited Debate.
 LONDON, Feb. 27.-In the House of Con- mons this evening debate upon the resolution offered yesterday by Sir Stafford Northcote respecting the punishment of obstructionists was resumed Mir. Gladstone made a long, able and somewhat impassioned speech upon the resolution. He began by saying that he acquiesced.. his noble friend, the Marquis of Harrington, in his opinion that events had occurred which rendered necessary some such steps as those indicated by the resolution proposed OF the part of the Government. It was essential that the dignity of the House of Commons should be preserved, and that the authority of the Speaker should be main tained Wilful obstruction of the business of the House for purposes of intimidating the majority or wearing out it's patience for the sake of compelling consent to measures against which it's unfettered judgment .revolted should not be permitted, and severe meas ures for the prevention of such obstruction tactics should be adopted if milder ones proved inefficient. MT. Gladstone thought that the Governments proposed resolution as at present worded went far beyond the legiti- mate object of putting down obstructionist tactics He admitted the difficulty of treat ing the subject, as upon one side there was an undoubted right of the minority to protest against measures to which it was opposed and urge within any reasonable limit arguments and objections to such measures, while on the other hand there was the experiences of the last session by which twas shown how small but determined faction, by availing itself of the form of the House, impeded the progress of legislation, stopped the passage of needed supply bills and ex- torted from the Government concessions of measures to which in principle it was opposed. MT. Gladstone concluded by declaring that, balancing evil and good which would re- suit in his opinion from the adoption of this resolution, he had made up his mind that whatever might be the form in which the Government finally cast it's resolution he would vote adversely to it.
 General discussion on the resolution was concluded late tonight. The Home Rulers brought forward 8 series of amendments and ultimately forced an adjournment until Sat usday.

Walker, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Fall River, Mass, charged by his wife with improper conduct and neglecting to support his wife, resulted, Thursday night, in his suspension from the ministry and from church privileges until the meeting of the annual Conference.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-Last night was exceptionally quiet. The workingmen held no meeting except a few minor ward club gatherings, as is customary, and the papers this morning are all bare of news in connec- tion with the agitation, although abounding in editorials on the subject expressive of con- fdence in the preservation of peace. Mayor Kallooh to-day advised cessation of process sions and meetings of unemployed for one week, and to quietly wait for measures of re- lief If relief be not given in a reasonable time, then he will offer no obstacle to their meeting when they like and as often as they like.

No plea on the part of these criminals will avail with me. They have already been treated with too much indulgence and they are now to be stamped out as enemies of God and mar, and as wild beasts for whom extermination is the only treatment" Gen. Melikof goes on to say that in carrying out this necessarily severe and merciless policy he expects and hopes for the co-opera- ton of all honest men. ''Society itself," he says, tin it's own self-defense must support the Government in the establishment at any cost of peace and order, and of the re- sumption of regular work of the machinery of the ..State." General Melikof's proclamation Is published in the journals and is placarded upon all the walls of the city. The people re- ceive it in silence and no comments are heard in public up on it.
 General opinion throughout this city is in favor of General Melikoff. There are rumors of nihilist disturbances in the provinces.

Another Victim of Cheap Literature.
 PoTrsv1LLE, Feb. 27.-Bridget McGee, the eight year old daughter of coal miner in Bear Gap, near Pottsville, enticed her infant brother into an .putbuilding last Monday, and, under the pretence that she was about to give him swing, fastened around his neck moose depending from rude gallows that she had constructed there, and pulled him up several inches from the floor. She copied the moose and manner of it's arrangement from descrip- tions of similar apparatus that she had read. The little child's screams brought his mother to his rescue. When he was taken down his face was black and his tongue and eyes pro- truded. It was several days before his recov- cry was assured. Bridget McGee theatened her father when he attempted to chastise her. ''You old fool" she said, 'I will kill you if you touch me-" She quilted her home and remained away two days. In the village school she was at the head of her class, among children much older than herself. A passion for sensational story reading is said to have brought about the attempt on her brothers life.

 Among the indications of the revival in business is the present large custom of hotels in this city which are frequented by business men. The opening of the spring trade is drawing merchants here from all parts of the country. All the leading hotels report the presence of large number of guests.

Seizure of Telegraph Lines-Ekunning
 Them Into Prepared Offices.
 DENVER, Feb. 27.-The Union Pacific Rail- road Company to day seized the lines of the Western Union Telegraph Go. on the Kansas Pacific railroad in defiance of an injunction granted yesterday by Judge Elliott, and also seized the lines of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company on the Union Pacific. This was accomplished by taking forcible possession of the lines and running them into offices prepared by the American Union Tele- graph Company at Omaha. The lines of the Kansas Pacific were built by the Western Un- ion Company under contract with the railroad and telegraph companies. Their right to the lines has never been questioned The Union Pacific Railroad Company made a perpetual lease of it's lines to the Atlantic and Pacific Company some years ago, in which it is bound to give all revenues from the offices owned by the railroad company to the Atlantic and Pa cific Company, and received in compensation therefor nearly two million dollars of the tel egraph company's stock. The Western Union lines on the main stem of the Union Pacific TO ad have not been disturbed.

 Railroad Accident-Great Discovery

 Correspondence National Associated Press
 PANAMA, Feb. 16.-Great preparations are making on both sides of the Liberal party on the Isthmus for the expected revolution, which it is said will take place in few days.
 The Chilian Times says: Complete inac- tivity prevails at the seat of war, although no reliable information can be obtained as to It's cause. Possibly the Government is of opinion that a summer campaign is too dangerous to venture upon, and the results of the last en- gagement under General Buchies in 1888 shows that there are powerful reasons against exposing the Chilian army to the climate of Lima during the hot season." The Chilian army now numbers from 20, 900 to 25, 900 men under arms, and it is said that in few months more it will be at least 10000 strong. This is considered far greater force than is required for the Peruvian war, butthe Chilian Government is very prudently taking precau- tions against possible rupture with the Argen- tine Republic, the press of which, especially papers edited by renegade Chilians, have ex- cited a strong feeling against Chilli. All the Argentine papers are full = of news respecting the purchase of ironclads and materials of war, and Chili is under the necessity of retaining force for eventu- alities. It is generally thought that should Chii continue the blockade of the Peruvian coast that ere winter comes on Peru will have crumbled away and the war will have termi- mated without more bloodshed.
 A lot of recruits were recently sent to the north in the Lamar, and some soldiers were on their way from Pisagua to the interior, when the train got of the rails and fifteen were killed and forty-fve wounded. The cause of the accident is not known. Some attribute it to excessive speed, others to neglect of switches.
 In Valparaiso during the past year, 2,475 persons died from smallpox ss against 151 from the same cause in 1878. The disease is less violent now than it was two months ago, but as there has been utter neglect of sanitary measures an increase in the death rate is feared during the summer months.
 A great discovery of gold is rumored to have taken place at Tambillos near Serena. It is said that nugget weighing 13 castella- nos was found there by poor old man, and there is now rush to the place.

General Porter Denies a CIergyman's
 Story.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-General Fitz John Porter in an interview with reporter of the Post states that the story of the alleged cler- gyman Rev. D. E. Aver, who has lately writ ten letter which has been telegraphed over the country to the effect that he (Porter) to Rev. MT. Ayers personal knowledge had cret conference with General Lee and two Confederates two nights before the second battle of Bull Run, at which he agreed to sell the fight, is so absurd on it's face that it hard ly needs attention. Porter states that on the night in question Drake DeKay, General Pope's aid, testified that he was with Porter all night, do several other Fed eral generals, while it is shown that General Lee was twenty miles away. The Eleventh New York, to which Aver pretends to have belonged as an officer, was not with Porter's command. The story, he thinks, was made up for the purpose of having its effect upon Congress.
