Three times within twenty years have these
wholesale assassinatons been committed by
tho Coreans on their peninsula jutting out
from the main land between tho Yellow and
Japan seas-once in 1865, when the French
missionaries came among them and set them
at such bitter strife that more than hun
bred thousand were slain in towns and viii
lagos; and again in 1873, when thousands of
Coreans accused of being converts to Chris
tianity, were tortured and put to death and
now in this summer of 1882. The Japanese
government has taken prompt action and the
trouble will not end with this dreadful mas

The temperance mass, or boilers, conven.
tion at st. Johnsbury, Monday, was attended
by 800 persons. Col. Franklin Fairbanks
was made chairman and II. NJ. Pearl, secre-
tary. Mr.. Pearl explained that the conven-

perance ticket. Those who favored such q
course would be considered members, ire
spective of party the others were invited to
remain as spectators. Candidates were voted
for as prohibitionists and total abstinence
men. The ticket placed in nomination is the
same as the regular Republican ticket, except
that I. NJ. Smith of Barnet was nominated for
sheriff and Frank M. Page of Ryegate for
states attorney Page declines to be run as a
candidate on the ticket. There were large
number present opposed TO the convention,
and Kisses and groans were often INDUCED in !;
but the convention was carried out according
to the design

The post Office department more than paid
for itself during the year ending June 80.
The third assistant postmaster general says
that when the accounts for the last quarter
of the year are made up surplus of nearly
million dollars will be turned into the treas
ury. Contrary to the general impression the
balance-sheet of the department has several
times before this shown that the expenses
were being paid from the receipts, but in
each case, except at the opening of the war
of the rebellion, when the expenses OF the
southern routes were cut off, the balance
was turned the other way by reduction of
rates of postage. The pruning of the star
route expenses has much to do with the
present condition of things, and it is expect
ed that from this time on the revenues of
the department will suffice to pay its expen-
ses.

HEADQUARTERS OF The
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE,
500 THIRTEENTH STREET, NORTHWEST,
WASHINGTON d. c., August 49, 1882.
Sir: Your failure to respond to the circu-
lar of May 10, 1882, sent to you by this COM
mittee, is noted with surprise. II is hoped
that the only reason for such failure is that
the matter escaped your attention, owing to
the press of other cares. Great political bat
ties cannot be won in this way. This COM
mittee cannot hope to succeed in the pending
struggle if those most directly benefited by
success are unwilling or neglect to aid in a
substantial manner. We are on the skirmish
line of 1884, with a conflict before US this fall
of great moment to the republic, and you
must know that a repulse now is full of dan
ger to the next presidential campaign. Unless
you think that our grand old party ought not
to succeed, help it now in its struggle to build
up new South in which there shall be- as in
the North, a free ballot and fair count and

We have no disposition to dictate to any of
our neighbors what their action shall be in
the matter of the choice of town representa-

that the Republicans of the good town of Lon
donderry will return Hon. j. L. Martin to the
legislature by unanimous vote. No man can
be of better service to the town or county,
and if he receives reelection his elevation to
the speakership for third time is foregone
conclusion. The honor would be such an one
as our Londonderry friends cannot afford to
deprive themselves of.

From the best information at hand there
seems to be little doubt that the late terrible
uprising in Corea, record of which is else
whore made, was mainly due to the attempt
on the part of Commodore Shufeldt to estab-
fish commercial relations between Corea and
the United States. Instigated to the terrible
deed by the regent, apparently, the populace
rose up and murdered their queen, the
princes, the royal household, the ministers,
notables of state, and nearly all the Japanese
who had settled on the peninsula-and all
because of their blind sordid and unreason-
ing superstition against having their country
opened to foreigners, This horrible mRssa-
ere is only equalled by other similar ones

A Yokohama despatch gives particulars Of
the recent uprising in Coroa. About o.
clock in the afternoon Of July 23d an organ
lied band Of insurgents took possession OF
the main thoroughfare of Seoul, the capital
of Corea and attacked the royal residence
and the headquarters of the Japanese lega-
ton The Japanese envoy and consul es-
capped with about 20 followers and made their
way to the palace for protection, but found
il already in possession of the rioters. They
then retreated to Jins En-, port 10 miles
distant, being repeatedly assailed on the way.
-Four of the party were killed, three wound
ed and several are missing. The survivors,
among whom were the envoy and consul,
reached the British surveying ship in the
neghborhood and sailed for Nagasaki.
japanese man-of-war was sent TO Corea to
rescue the imperiled japanese and obtain in
formation as to the cause Of the outbreak,
with instructions to avoid discussion or dis
pute. The vessel returned August 4th, and
announced that all the Japanese at Seoul
had probably been slaughtered and that the
capital was in a state of anarchy The king
of Corea alone was spared by the rioters.
The queen was murdered and the heir APP
parent and his betrothed, both children,
we're forcibly poisoned. Thirteen ministers
of state and other high dignitaries were
slain. The instruction is said to be under
the lead of the ex-regent, Tai-In. Kun, by
some pronounced the father and by others
tho uncle of the king. He has always been
violent opponent of foreign intercourse.
Whether he has assumed control Of the gov
eminent is not yet known. There have been
no disturbances at the ports of Fersan and
Geusan Japan acted with promptness and
prudence. A naval and military rendezvous
has been established at Shimouoseki, the
nearest port to Corea. A fleet has been sent

Our farming readers have beer so
very busy at work that they have for
gotten the locality and owners of stores.
Would it not be we'll for the merchants
under these circumstances to advertise.
We are informed by the Supervisor
that every white voter in Nos. ! and 9
Townships has registered. Nearly all
have registered in the other townships.
No. has the largest number unregis-
tered.
We find the following. notice in the
Seneca Journal of Mr.. C1omer's ad-
dress at the Walhalla Female College
Commencement Mr.. G. B. Cromer
of Newberry, then spoke. Mr.. Croner
makes a magnificent appearance on the
stage, full six feet, but of stout and square
build, most polished orator and a man
of unusual literary ability for one Of his
age. He spoke more than forty min
utes and entertained q tired audience
exceedingly we'll, Notwithstanding the
morning was oppressiVely warm.
While we like Mr.. c., very much per-
sonally and think him one Of our most
talented and cultivated young men. we
must say that when any man makes the
broad assertion that nothing will sup
ply the place OF Latin and Greek in the
training Of the mind" as Charles Da-
vid once said of Wendell Phillips, he is
lending his powers to an argument that
will no more hold water than a coland-
or E. E. WERNER.
