1t is stated Cd god authority. that the
| Wallace and Randall factions of the Dem
oeracy 10 Pennsylvania have buried the
Ratchet, and agreed upon union on basis
honorable to both factions, and which will
result in united party in future. The
details are not yet complete. but enough 10
known to warrant the belief that the union
has been effected. A correspondent of
the New York Sun says of the matter
that
'Until within day or two the quarrel
between these two factions has been so Bit
ter that but one conclusion was expected
a bolt 10 the State Convention, two full
delegations to Cincinnati, and a complete
disruption of the Democratic party in PEN
nsylvania. Wiser counsels are now pre-
vailing. and their result promises new
departure in the politics of the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania; hereafter its COM
mon enemy is to be the Republican party,
and not itself
The factions will come together al the
State Convention and settle their troubles
upon basis cTeditable alike to Wallace
and Randall without dishonor to anybody
and with benefit to all concerned. The
plan is to have Chairman of the State
Convention. which meets on the Goth of
this month, acceptable to Wallace and
Randall-either Lewis c. Cassidy of this
city, or ex-senator A. Fl. Dill OF Union
County; the selection of a.Chairman of the
State Committee entirely acceptable to
both factions-the Hou. William s, STEM
ger ex-Congressman from the Chambers
burg district probably-aud the election
OF delegation 20 the Cincinnati Convention
made up equally from the two factions, or
twenty-nine Wallace men and twenty nine
Randall men. Among other things every
effort on the part of RapdalPs followers
will be made to return Wallace 10 the
Senate. and the threatened effort TO defeat
Randall for areturn to Congress from his
district will be abandoned
This means more than | have here
stated. 1t means that if it should be
deemed wise not to nominate Mr.. Tilden
at Cincinnati. the Hon. Samuel j. Randall
will have the fifty eight delegates from
Pennsylvania
Now let the Democracy of New York |
follow suit and there will be an unbroken |
front presented against the Republican |
nominee,

La Sale has first-class sensation on her
hands, the blaze of which broke out on last Fri
day afternoon. The story goes that some three
weeks ago, Mrs. Cody, very estimabe lady of
that city, received grossly insulting letter from
some one signing his name y. Z. Black" in
which proposals were made that would shame
the commonest woman of the land. The lady at
once handed the letter to her brother, Aid. I.
Donoghue, and asked his advice in the matter.
He dictated letter, IN which it was stated that
If 'Blsck" would give her his correct name she
might be pleased to receive him. The next day
she received passionate missive, and the amaze
nent was great to both brother and sister when
the name of one of the ''nicest" young men in
La Sale appeared at the cad of the note. Aid.
Donoghue armed himself with handy little
stick, and called upon the young man at his
studio After reading the letter to him he went
for the nice young man, and the thrashing he re
ceiyed he will remember as long as he lives.
The chap Is said by a correspondent to be a
'Ieadng Adons" Of La Sales best society, a
member OF the Methodist church choir, and q
Sunday school teacher. On Saturday morning
he received a note to leave town within twenty
four hours, but he doesn't seem to have skip

Nv Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best OF all pur-
gatives for family use. They are the product OF
long, laborious and successful chemical investi-
cation, and their extensive use, by Physicians in
their practice and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgatve Pill
that medical science can devise. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no other pills
can be compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them when
needed. They keep the system in perfect order,
and maintain in healthy action the whole ma
chinery of life. Mild searching and etfectual,
they are specially adapted to the needs OF the d.

THE INDIANS.

The Utes' Progress Eastward-Ehe out
 rage on the W0men-Threats to Lynch
 the Indtamss
 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A dispatch was re- ceived to-day by Secretary Schurz from Gen. eral Adams, dated Lakin, Kansas, saying that the Utes were on their way to Washington. The military were dismissed at Lakin.
 The knowledge that the female captives taken at the White River Agency were out ragged by the Indians has created profound sensation here, and of course hurts the Ute case before the department. The facts were known by persons having inside information all along, and these persons are objects of some criticism now for withholding informa- tion so essential to just popular estimate of the situation. The public will now stop talk ing about the 'schivalrous" Utes.
 PUEBLO, Col Jan. S.-Twelve Ute Indians, in charge of Lieutenant Taylor of the Ninth cavalry with ten men, arrived here yesterday, and immediately went east on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. They had ordered dinner at the Union Depot Hotel, but the sight of a large crowd of palefaces destroyed their appetites, and they at once boarded 8 train and left without eating. Between 2,OO0 and g, ,OOO people congregated at the depot to see the sayaQes. ssHang the red devils i' ssShoot the murdering iends!" and like expres- sfons were frequently heard from a portion of the crowd, and the Indians were pelted ] with stove coal by some boys who had board ed 8 coal train on the side track. The sav- ages were terror stricken, as might be ex- | pected move was afoot in the morning to organize 500 men and lynch them; but cooler counsels prevailed, and the citizens deter mined to let the Indians pass without injury. Had there been any injudicious action taken l by the troops or miners, no power could have
 restrained the mob from lynching them. Had l Douglas or any of the Indians engaged in the l murder of MT. Meeker or outraging the l Meeker family been on board the tr ain the ! rope would have come into play.
