A DESPATCH from Washington to the
Philadelphia Record says "the anti-Til-
den men here feel perfectly certain that
they will have an overwhelming majority
in the Democratic state convention of
Pennsylvania, and claim the vote of the
state under the unit rule at Cincinnati
with equal certainty" To which we say
that anybody who undertakes to force
the Cameron unit rule" :" on the Demo-
cratic state convention will be ground to
powder. The Lancaster county dele
gates to Cincinnati have a right to vote
as the Lancaster county Democracy de-
sire them to vote, and the same is true Of
the Clearfield county delegates and the
Allegheny county delegates and the Phil
adelphia delegates and the representa-
tives of every other district. There are
81 delegates to be chosen from the vari-
GUS districts, and to say that % of them
shall cast the vote Of the whole 81 and
that 26;shall be disfranchised, is to say
what no fair man will ask and what no
decent Democrat will stand. We ::are
against the unit rule no matter whom it
helps or hurts we are against all Came
uoI methods of DISTINGUISHING any Demo-
cratic constituency in the state.

vile during the present week, preparatory
to the Easter communion service. Last
evening, Immediately after service, Mr..
Henry II. Aument, the worthy sexton
of the church: was made the recipient of a
very handsome silver watch as testi-
monial of his services, upon the part of
the members of the congregation and his
friends i'll the neighborhOod. The presen-
tatiOn was made by the Rev. d. 3. Shuey,
the pastor, in a few well chosen remarks,
which were fittingly responded to by Geo.
w. Hensel. Mr.. Aument was taken COM
pletely by surprise which was very much
enjoyed by all present.
The watch was an American hunting
case On the inside of the case was
beautifully engraved, "H.H H. Aument, from

The Homo and COlOred Children.


The taxpayers of the county of Lam
caster have assumed to contribute almost
the entire sum required to support the
"Home for Friendless Chileren," an insti-
tuition which has its origin in q private
charitable enterprise. Over one hundred
children are cared for i'll it, and the county
pays ten thousand dollars to the institu-
tion One of the conditions on which it
is paid is that no distinction shall be
made on account of religion, race or color
in the admission of children. Up to this
time no colored child has been admitted
to the Home, owing principally to the
narrow prejudice of one person connected
with it's management against the color of
a black skin. The question was submit
ted to the court, and the law interpreted
so plainly that now there can be no mis-
taking its meaning. But as will be seen
elsewhere, at meeting of the trustees a
resolution was passed, which looks to an
arrangement by which the county is asked
to 60 to an additional expense of erecting
another and separate building, in which
the few colOred children are to be penned
up, and kept apart from the white children,
before certain over nice managers can be
reconciled to contaminate themselves with
a few poor "nigger' children.
We don't know what will be the effect on
some who now object to caring for
Gods poor and unfortunate waits
with dark skins, under the same roof with
those ofa white color, if they should chance
to get into heaven and find " niggers"
there. They will probably agree to stay,
but pass resolution for an appropriation
for separate heaven! Is it not about
time to stop this nonsense ? If the pres
ent management is not able to meet this
question in common sense business way,
let it get out. There are hundreds of
good, God-fearing men and women who
can do it. Those who cannot throw their
hates and prejudices aside had better go
and no longer stand in the way of what the
law and common sense demands.

Gently arrested on the charge of indecent

parsonage and released on 81, 500 bail, had
a hearing yesterday before Squire Baugh-
man at Georgetown on two similar
charges, and was committed in default of
$500 bail. Wilmer is a man of notori-
ously bad repute, terror to the white
women of his neighborhood, and it is a
relief to them that he is so securely Gagged
as to protect them at present from any
further immediate danger.

A Disastrous Fire.

The entire business portion of Samana,
San Domingo, was burned on Tuesday,
the 9th inst, entailing an estimated loss of
$50, 600. The fire covered space of about
six acres. As there was not dollar of
insurance, nearly all the merchants are
ruined, and the poor would be on the verge
of starvation, were it not that the country
around Samana abounds in fruit, upon
which all are subsisting. The most dis
graceful scenes of pillage followed the fire.
The custom house was damaged by the
conf1agration. The fire is said to have
originated in the neglect of servant to
extinguish the kitchen fire before going to
bed at night.
