IT looks as if somebody had bungleu
at Alexandria, and it apparently is not
Arabi Pacha. He is on his way to
Cairo with his army, while Admiral
Seymour is in control of the disman-
tied Notifications, the burning city and
the bodies of the victims of the massa-
ere. While the commander of the
feet was awaiting with dignity for
NAL surrender from Arab, the Egypt
ian was leaving the city, already in
flames, and the Europeans who had
remained were being put to death.
,Fhe flag of truce was flying all this
time, and this seems to- have deceived
the English. 1t is hard to understand
why troops were not there to cut off
all chance of q retreat as soon as the
firing from the forts ceased. There
certainly should have been forces
ready to land instantly to fnish the
work begun by the bombardment, to
take possession of the railroad and the
city, andto make the lives and property
of the inhabitants safe If men could
not be spared from the vessels, then,
apparently, the bombardment was pre-
mature; or possibly assistance which
the Admiral expected, did not arrive.
At least no advantage seems to have
been gained by the English. The
Status quo is no more nearly re-estab-
lished than before the bombardment and
the Khedive's authority has not been re-
stored. Arab Pacha can make as
much trouble now as ever, and there is
pretty serious business to be done be-
fore he can be captured or suppressed.

The News From Egypt.

It is now evident that during the
bombardment of the forts, which began
on Monday of last week, the city of
Alexandria itself was shelled in way
of which the British dispatches gave
no idea. The widespread conflagra-
tion that ensued upon the bombarment,
and the great amount of destruction
that has been wrought during the
week, are proof that the work of the
British guns was worry thoroughly
done. According to the latest dis
patches of Admiral Seymour, the fires
were still raging last Saturday; explo-
sions were heard from time to time !;
the incendiarv's torch was in play /;
and the greater part of the Guy is in
ruins.
The force of British marines that en-
tered the city on Thursday was active,
and the state of things can be imagin-
ed from the fact that perhaps not more
than Thousand marines are able to
hold their ground They had some
fighting in the streets; their Gatling
guns were brought to bear upon the
plunderers, who are spoken of as
Arabs, many of whom wero killed; a
boby of marines was ordered 10 march
through the town and shoot all disor-
derly persons, many of whom were
summarily dealth with the people left
in the city were panic-stricken, while
the naval guns from the men-of-war in
the harbor were said to be firing over
the city.
The Khedive himself is in guam
Diary. A proclamation prepared in
hts name calls for order 10 the city,
| and he has summoned the chief Pashas
to Alexandria to maintain it. But in
the mean time, while 10 his palace,
soldiers entered his apartment with
the announcement that they had or
ders to slay him, and it was only by
promises of money that they were in
duced to refrain from carrying out
their orders. After this episode the
Khedive put himself under the protec-
tion of the British marines, and then
judiciously determined to seek safety,
with his harem, aboard vessel in the
harbor.
The action of England has had the
approval of Germany aud Austria, and
now we have semi-oficial annou nee
ment of the continuance of the accord
between England and France, which
are expected to come to a definite un-
derstanding respecting Egypt. 1t ap-
pears that the Greeks also have not
forgotten the profit that accrued to
SARDINIA from sending contingent to
the Crimea during the English and
French war against Russia; for the
Government of Athens has expressed
it's readiness to support Intervention in
Egypt with corps of 1000 men.

EGYPT AND ARABI BEY.

In this country but little attention
was given to the trouble in Egypt,
which has now resulted in war. The
old and historic city of Alexandria,
founded by Alexander the Great, has
been bombarded by an English feet,
and is now in ruins. The sad part of
the matter is that hundreds of Chris
tians living there, or doing business in
the city, have been killed. For this
terrible fate the British Government
is alone responsible Without any
formal declaration of war by the Gov
ernment, British Admiral commenced
firing upon the Notifications of Alex
andria. He could not but have known
that the result of that would be to en-
danger the lives of all of his own coun-
trymen, language and religion, and
Arab Bey. the military leader of the
people, has taken fearful and terrible
vengeance by the slaughter of all for
eigners and Christians found in the
city.
The trouble between the Egyptians
and English seems to have arisen out
of financial questions. The financial
affairs Of Egypt for some time past
seem to have been under the control of
the great powers of Europe. through
an arrangement with the Sultan of
Turkey, who claims sovereignty over
Egypt, but who has really been unable
to exercise any authority since the rise
of Arab, who, in this case, we might
term Colonel, or General Arab. The
chief officer of Turkey in Egypt, called
the Khedive, had to adopt policy un-
der the directions of General Arab.
This policy was prejudicial to the for
eign holders of Egyptian bonds, partic-
ularly the English bond holders. Out
of this has grown the present situation.
What the result may be none can tell,
but general European war may be at
hand Turkey refuses to stand by
and so does France. On the
part of the British it looks like the old
game for getting more possessions:
First, get heather country in debt to
them and then for payment, make war
and seize their territory. They will
have to follow up Arab now, who will
give battle by land. Bnt the end, after a
great loss of life, will probably be a
new government over Egypt, under
British direction. /

A Honorable Career.

From Allegheny City Evening Mail, July 10.
Very few public officials retire from
Office with such record as Col }. Mi
Sullivan, who has been a trusted en-
ploye of the Government for nearly
ff en- wears as Collector of lnterna-
Revenue IN this District. We have re-
ferred to his excellent management OF
the office before, but a few words as
farewell to the gentleman will not be
out of place at this time. At the first
of the present month his successor took
charge and desiring to aid in making
the new administration q success, Col.
Sullivan went to work and made out
the June and qrarterly reports, for
which kindness Collector jackson felt
very grateful Revenue agent Spauld
ing, designated by Commissioners
Raum to superintend the transfer, made
personal inspection of the accounts
and at the close of the examination
said to Col. Sullivan: "Your Office Is
right to a cent, and straight as
string" He also spoke in very COM
plimentary terms of the good manage
ment which always marked Col. Sulll-
vans term of office and said the affairs
could not be improved. This honest
statement gives additional evidence,
abu ldant and convincing, that it was
the earnest eudeavor of the ex-collector
to so discharge the duties of the posi-
tion as to serve the best interests OF his
native State and district.
| This was expected of him as he Is
universally recognized as a man thor
o1ghly honest and sincere and OF the
most stainless integrity. True to his
convictions, he has never hesitated
ardently to advocate what he believed
to be right, though in so doing he,
with characteristic regard to the politi-
cal feelings of those with whom he
differed, ever combined gentleness with
| frmness. 1t has be / Col. Sullivan's
fortune to receive a unanimous vote In
the Senate when his name was present
ed for the Office which he now vacates.
The first appointment was genuine
surprise to the gentleman, as he had
not solicited the place and knew nothing
about it until notified by Hon. Thomas
Williams who recommended him. And
now after record of Is years honora.
BILE service, he retires to private life
with the best wishes of host of warm
friends. He thinks this good time
to take q vacation and will rest awhile

ONE of the false claims set up for the
"Stalwarts" is that they always sup
port the ticket. There is not a bit of
truth in the claim Here in Crawford
county those who avow themselves
'.Stalwarts'' have done their full share,
and more, of the boiling, and it is
generally so. Down in Butler county
now, the Eagle, the Stalwart organ.
is preparing to bolt the nomination of
Brabam for Assembly, because he
voted for Grow and refused to obey
Cameron's orders and support Oliver.
The Eaqle of a recent date said:
"lt is on this principle that Mr..
Braham claims the support of the
whole party. If he shall receive it
he will be returned to the next legisla-
ture and a premium placed upon dis
organization and open defiance to the
majority principle. Is it not 80 |!
How can Republicans close their eyes
to the facts 2"
If this is not plain invitation for
Republicans to bolt Braham because
he refused to join Cameron in defeat
ing the choice of the party for Senator,
we know. nothing about it. The
same game was tried in Venango
county the last time Mr.. Mapes was a
candidate for the Assembly. He was
cut right and left by Cameron's hench-
men. Our word for it they intend to
do the same thing this year wherever
they think it will pay.-Cra afford

Drop Cameron and Unite the
Party.

What good can be accomplished
through divisions in Pennsylvania,
or dissensions in New York? None
whatever. The present is no time for
man-worship, no time to submit to the
dictation of selfconstituted leaders.
Men are nothing except in so far as
they are able to bring victory to the
standards of the party and perpetuate
its principles. If there are any Achans
in the camp they must be cast out. If
there are any who would hinder the
onward march of the party they must
be trampled under foot. If there are
those who have no higher purpose to
serve than their own little petty am
bitions, they must be sent to the rear.
The present need is to close up the
ranks and march with locked shields
as when the days of Lincoln. Grant,
Hayes, and Garfield led the battle van.
The strength of the party is as great
to-day as when it beat Mcclellan,
Seymour, Tilden and Hancock

THE burning Of Hannastown, West
moreland county, this State, by the
Indians, and the cruel massacre of the
men, women and children in the fort
then there, was one of the most horri-
ble events of old Indian time warfare.
1t took place on the 18th of July 1882,
one hundred years ago last Thursday.
The people of Westmoreland county
had memorial services on the 18th inst,
to honor the memory Of the brave
defenders Of the old town and
their noble deeds and sufferings
The memorial services were quite i'm
pressive In youth Se used to hear
old citizens, who came tere from
Westmoreland county, speak of the
Hannastcwn massacre, but we cannot
now recall one such living. They
have all passed away. 1t was proper
for the present generation of West
moreland county to perpetuate the
memory of those slaughtered there one
hundred years ago.

Death Of Mrs. Lincoln.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 16.-Mrs.
Lincoln, widow of the late President
Lincoln, died in this city at SIS to-
night. She had been i'll for long
time A few days ago she grew worse.
On Saturday evening she suffered a
stroke of paralysis and from that time
lay in comatose state till she died.
Robert Lincoln left Washington to-
night and will be here Tuesday morn
ing. The funeral announcement will
be made later.
Mary Lincoln was the daughter of
Hon. Robert S. Todd, of Lexington,
KY.
Mrs. Lincoln had keen taste for poll
tics, and she was a satirical writer of
great power. Her talents found ex-
preston in the local papers, and one of
her articles involved her husband in
duel with Mr. Shields, then State
Auditor of Illinois, but by the. e..interven-
tion of friends hostile meeting was
averted. Throughout his career she
was an able minister to the honorable
ambition of her great husband, and
checrfully bore her share of the bur-
dens of the Presidency when that
honor came to him. During bis first
administration her favorite son Tad
died, and the shock was one Of which
she never fully recovered. After the
President was assassinated the strain
became greater than she could bear,
and her mind finally gave way CON-
pletely. She recovered from the first
lapse ofreason only to relapse, and for
some time she has been a confirmed
invalid. In her fatal illness, however,
she was in full possession of her senses
up to the hour when the fatal stroke
of paralysis intervened.

NEW CONVENTION.

NEW CONVENTION.
In another place will be seen the
progress thus far made towards having
bat one Republican State ticket AT
the meeting last week of the State
Committee representing the Regulars,
so called, four propositions were made
to the Independents. One of these
embraced the proposition for a neao
State Convention, but unlimited as to
who all should be candidates before it.
The Chairman of the Independent
wing replied to this by saying he
would call his Committee together,
which he has done, for meeting next
week. But, 10 the meantime, four of
the Independent candidates, headed by
Col. Stewart, candidate for Governor,
addressed a communication to Gen.
Beaver and candidates of the Regular
wing, saying that they would accept
the proposition for new Convention,
with one amendment, and that to be,
that both of the present tickets be
withdrawn and none of the names on
either to be submitted for renomina-
ton during this campaign. For reply
to this the Chairman of the Regulars
has called together his advisory Com
mittee of ten, provided for at their meet
ing last week. So a week or two
more will be necessary before it can be
known whether we are to have union
or not on State ticket.
But it is now narrowed down to a
single point, and that is one the can
didates themselves can settle. Will
they do it? This is question that
concerns The ,ohoIe Republican party of
the State. It's interest is greater than
that of any .tfue or any ten men of the
party. By the absolute withdrawal OF
both old tickets, and the substitution
of new one by new Convention,
every ground and euery cause Of COM
plant tUiU be takesa out of the party.
The feelings of a personal nature will
be removed. All personal bitterness
of every kind will be removed The
question is not which faction is the
stronger; or whether this candidate
could poll more votes than that can
didate We cannot save the party by
saving one faction of it, but we can
save it by saving both. We do not
like the idea of limiting the right OF
any and all to be candidates. But this
is an emergency in the party. and its
interest is superior to that of any man
or set of men, be they five or ten.
Would it not then be an act of magnan-
Unity on the part of all the present
candidates to say, we step aside In the
interest of harmony, to be secured by
new ticket A majority of one set
of candidates have proposed this. Can
the other side afford to reject it? If
they do, will it not be saying they
want to save themselves aod not the
party? Suppose either of them to sue
ceed in being nominated at the new
Convention, will they not be burdened
with the old animosities, borne down
and embarrassed with Cameronism or.
anti -Cameronism? Entire, perfect
union and harmony would seem to be
only attainable by the absolute with
drawal of all present candidates. The
people would then be free to act and
choose, and do the best for the party
and certain success would follow in
November.

THE Independent Republican candi-
dates of Pennsylvania have submitted
proposition to General Beaver and
his associates on the Stalwart ticket
which will fully test the desire of Mr..
Cameron's followers for harmony in the
party. The proposition is that all the
present nominees shall withdraw and
not be candidates for denomination,
that. new convention shall then be
called as proposed by the Cameron
State Committee, and an entirely
new ticket be placed in thesfeld. This
would remove all present antagonlsms
and assure q united party and the
choice of candidate that would defeat
Mr.. Pattison. No other course seems
likely to produce the same result. III
the Stalwart candidates care more for
the success of the party and good
government than they do for personal
ends they will not delay to accept
this proposition. Unfortunately, how
ever, they are under Mr.. Cameron's
domination. Colonel McMichael, one
of the Independent candidates, does
not unite with his associates on the
ticket in this proposition, but he prom
ises to withdraw if a satisfactory
ticket is nominated.-T Tribune.
