The Indcpendcnt Republicans O.

The Independent Republicans O.
pencd the campaign at lively rate
at Pittsburg, on Tuesday evening
the 18th instant. A large and en-
thusiastic meeting was hold, over
which the Hon. j. X. Moorhead pre-
sided. Senator John Stewart, can
didate for Governor, Gel. Duff, can
didate for Lieutenant Governor, and
Col. McMichael, candidate for Con-
gressman-at-Large, were prescntand
made ringing speeches, Especially
did Nj. Stewards speech elicit popu.
lar sympathy and enthusiastic ap.
plause. We will quote but one of
the senator's many telling points:
Please explain, if you can, the SINGER
ity consistency of a convention which
would adopt such civil service plat
form as that adopted at Harrisburg
and at the same time appland an ad--
ministIation which deals in practical
politics" only. But that is not all;
within week after the adjournment OF
tho convention our senior Senator
showed his faith in its platform by
pressing TO u confirmation the suspend
| ed appointments and starting the gull
lotine afresh. Nor is this all; ten days
ago, in the city of Harrisburg, my dis
tlnguiShed competitor, General Beaver,
! the nominee of the Harrisburg Conven-
tion, in public speech, rs it TO show
that he had independe nee, too, and an
| honesty and candor of speech superior
| to the men who nominated him, boldly
declared that the civil service was
"wisely administered" The cOnven-
tion which nominated him declared it
was not wisely administered. Laugh
ter and cheers. 1t saw abuses. Gener-
al Beaver sees none. 1t declared re-
form; General Beaver can find nothing
to reform. 1t declared that public otli-
ces must not be used for personal polit-
ical ends; General Beaver holds other
wise, and sees with perfect and abso-
Lutte satisfaction the patronage of an
administration and the spoils of office
given to political boss, to place where
they will do the most good, not for the
public, but to sustain and support an
autocratic power upon Which my dis
tinguiShed friend has relied too much
for his own promotion. [Great ap-
plauSe,

Three Murderers Lynched in
Kansas.

LAWRENCE, Kan, June 1l.-Peter
Vineyard, Geo. Robinson and Ike King
all colored, were taken from Jail here
yesterday morning, at O'Clock, 10y a
crowd Of vigilanIs, and hanged from
the bridge. Robinson pleaded for his
life and fell on bis knees three times
while being taken to the point of exc
cution. King said, when he was about
to drop: "Boys, let me down easy.''
The men beyond said: ibid you let
Bausman down easy 20 The necks of
Vineyard and Robinson were broken,
but Kings was not. Vineyard had his
life insured for $4,000. The crime for
which these three men were thus sum-
marily punished was the murder of Da-
vic. .Bausman, of Southern Ohio, q we'll
tc.do farmer. Bausman came here a.
bout week ago on a visit to relatives
in the country, became intoxicated and
was lured to the river bank by a de-
graded daughter Of Vineyard, where
the three murdered and robbed the
victim. All confessed their guilt after
arrest.

The labor msn had monster demon
stration at Pittsburg on Saturday.
Large delegations from Wheeling,
Steubenville, Mansfield, Midway and
other places, attended. A procession
was formed in the afternoon and it is
estimated that fully 0,0o0 men were
in ranks, representing some eighty diff
ferent labor organizations. These were
largely composed of the Strikers"
who have quit work and ask for higher
wages. Bands of music and banners
with variety of notices and devices,
for example Skeleton, SIN God we
Trust" "Give US this day our daily
tread,'' - Omitted action will Danish
cheap labor" were distributed at in
tervals through the large procession,
which was an hour and half in pass
ing given point. Good order prevail
ed and no forbaaranca of any kind oc-
curr ed. The special object Of such an
imposing demonstration does not ap-
pear very clearly, and what theout come
of the many aud extensive strikes
throughout the entire country will be
remains to be seen. They are very un-
fortunate at best, and at this particu-
lar time when there is a general shrink
age in business all over the country,
they are both unreasonable and unwise.
At least such is the universal opinion
of conservative men.

A Wild Man on the California
Coast.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
While hunting for deserters from a
ship at Guaymas, few days ago, the
searchers discovered a man covered
from head to foot with long shaggy
hair, of redish color. On their ap-
preaching him he commenced to run,
and they chased him, followed him for
distance of a mile or more to the
beach, where he jumped from rock to
rock with the agility OF chamois and
was soon lost to sight behind a jutting
point. They afterward discovered the
cave which he inhabits, the floor being
covered with skins, and the indications
were that he subsisted entirely upon
law fish. Organized efforts viii be made
to capture him.

STIRRING ADVENTURE.

Business caused w. l.. Renfoe, who
lives on Rocky creek, near Dublin,
Georgia, to be out late on Saturday
night, the 3rd inst. AS he was riding
in the moo Might along the creek, with
his dwelling hundred yards or so in
front Of him, something came down on
the rump Of his horse like fail In the
hands of Samson. The horse sprang
upward and the astonished rider was
thrown against fence, Mr.. Renfoe
turned towards his assailant to see an
enormou alligator with head up and
jaws widely distended. Though 1t was
midnig ht the moon was at the zeLith
and objects were outlined almost as
clearly as if it had been noon. Eentoe
thought hims elf gone. In Imagination
he could feel his body confined in the
saurian's pauch, and only by strong
effort resisted the strange impulse of
leaping into the beasts mouth, the
charm being Of the kind that draw one
10 drop from the masthead, Recover
ing his feet and self-posesson at the
same instant the man lunged at the al.
ligator with fencerail. The rail went
into the animals throat, but was brok-
en- like pipe-stem. Renfroe shouted
for help, and while waiting for some
one to come used other fence-rails to
parry alligator'S lungs, which, for some
reason then unknown, were not as
iiercely made as was expected. When
his weapons came Renfroe shot the
beast twelve times with a revolver,
four times with a shotgun and ended
the battle with broad-axe. The alli-
gator had broken its tail when it struck
the horse, which was killed. If the
assailant had not been crippled by its
own blow, as Renfroe thinks, the man
might have shared the fate of The
horse. The alligator was exhibited to
crowds of curious persons in Dublin
during last week. The scales showed
his weight to be 800 pounds.

The Philadelphia Times is gett-
ing impatient in trying to explain to
some of its readers for the twentieth
time what CongresSman-at- Large
is. The Times is much at fault in
adhering sternly to one and the
same explanation throughout. Why
not give variety in definition, a ia
Webster, and let each constant
reader" adapt the one best suited
to his taste For example:
CoNGREsSMAN-AT-LNRGE, a large
congressman, i. e. Of large and hand
some person, large abilities, large
experience, large patriotism, liberal
views and broad sympathies. Just
such a congressman like the Hon. A
G. Curtin.
l. A member Of congress let loose
like wild beast that has escaped
ito cage and broken away from its
keeper. terrorizing entire communi-
ties, like the monster snake near
Minersville, or the wild hogs of New
Jersey.
2. A kind Of surplus member, who
fancies that he represents an entire
state in a general way but no fixed
district in particular. In Pennsyl-
vania it means the twenty-eighth
man out of twenty-seven. This alb
surd state of affairs is all the fault
of Governor Hoyt, who IS too blunt
to see that we are entitled to
twenty-eight members and have on
ly twenty-seven districts. More
over he stupidity refuses to call to-
gether the legislature in extra seq
sion, who would cheerfully remedy
the great evil and perform sundry
other valuable services besides.

NATIONAL BANKS.

During thc year there have been organized III
unti0nal banks, and of :hose institutions there
are now in operation 1869, larger number than
ever before. The value of their notes in active
":rculation on July LIST, 1882, was 1924 ,o56 ass.
] recommend to your attention the Secretary's
views in respect to the likelihood of serious n
traction of this circulation, aud the modes by
which thai result may be in his judgment
averted.
SILVER CERTIFICATES AND COINAGE OF sILvER.
In respect to the coinage of silver dollars and
.he retirement of silver certificates, have seen
nothing to alter, but much to confirm the senti-
ments to which / gave expression last year. A
comparison between the respective amounts of
81 er dollar circulation on November, 1881, aud
on November, 1882, shows slight increase of
million and half delarS. but during the inter
val there had been in the whole number coined
an increase Of twenty-six millions of the one
hundred and twenty-eight millions thus
far minted A little more than thirty
Ave millions are in circulation. The
mass of accumulated coin has grown so great
that the vault room at present available for stor
age is scarcely sufficient to contain it. 1t is not
apparent why it rs desirable to continue the coin
age now so enormously in excess of public de-
mRnd.
As to the silver certificates, in addition to the
grounds which seemed last year to justify their
retirement, may be mentioned the effect which is
likely TO from the supply Of gold certificates
for the issuance Of which congress recently made
provision and which are new in active circulation.

PERU, BOLIVIA AND CHILLI.

The war between Peru and Bolivia on the ono
Size, and Chill on the other, began more than
years ago by the occupation by Chill in
1880 OF all the lateral territory Of Bolivia Ne
gotiations for peace were conducted under the
direction of the United States. The others re-
fused to concede any territory, but Chilli has
since become master of the whole coast
Of both countries and of the capitol of
Peru. A year since, as you have already
20 you in January last, this government sent a
special mission to the beGggerant powers 10 ex-,
press the hops that Chill would be disposed 10 ac-,
cept money indemnity for the expenses Of tho
war and to relinquish her demand for portion
Of the territory fer her antagonist. This recon-
mendation, which Chill declined TO follow, this
government did not assume to enforce nor
can it be enforced without resort to
measures which would be in keeping
neither with the temper of our people nor with,
The spirit Of our institutions. The power of Peru
no longer extends over its whole territory, and
in the event of our interference to dictate peace,
it would need te be supplemented by the army
and navy of the United States. Sach in
terference would almost inevitably lead
to the establishment of frotectorats,
result utterly at odds with our past policy,
Injurious to our present interests, and full OF
cinbarrassments for the future for the termina-t
ton of hostiities on towns, at once, just TO tho
victorious naticn and generous to its adversarie.
such might involve the complications which 1
have indicated. 1t is greatly to be deplored that
Chill seems resolved to exact such rigorous eondi-
tOns Of peace and is indsposed to submit 10 arbi-
tration the terms of an amicable settlement. No
peace likely to be lasting that is not sufficiently
ssuitable and just to command the approval ot
other nations.

wAgH1NGroN PEACE CONFERENCE.

About year since invitations were extended
the nations of this continent to send representa-
tiyes to peace congress to assemble at Wash
ngton in November, 1882. The time of meeting
was fixed at period then remote in the hope, as
the invitation itself declared, that in the mean
time the disturbances between South American
republics would be adjusted. AS that expecta-
zion seemed unlikely to bo realized, I asked
In April last for an expression of opinion
from the two hozses of congress, as to the ad-
visibility of holding the convention at the time
appointed. This action was prompted in part by
doubts which mature reflection had suggested
whether diplomatic usage and the traditions of
the government did not make it fitting that the
executive should consult the representatives of
the people before pursuing line of policy some
what novel in its character and far reaching in
its possible consequences. In view Of the fact
that no action taken by congress in the
premises and no provision had been made for
necessary expenses, I subsequently decided to
postpone the .convocation and so notified the
several governments which had been invited to
attend. l am unwilling to dismiss this subject
without assuring you of my support of any
measures congress may devise for the promotion
of peace on this continent, and throughout the
world, aud 1 trust that the time is near, when
with the universal assent of civilized people, all
international differences viii be determined with
out resort to arms by the benianant process 0.
arbitration.

safely predicted that a stimulus of fifty per
cent. reduction tax for carriage would at once in
crease the number Of letters consigned to the
mails. The advantages of secrecy would lead to
q very general substitution of sealed packets
for post cards and open circulars, and in divers
o.hcr ways the volume of first class matter would
oc enormously augmented. Such an increase
amounted in England the first year after the
adoption of penny postage to more than 125
per cent.
As The result of careful estimate. the details
OF which cannot here be set out, have become
convinced that the deficiency for the first year
alter the proposed reduction would not exceed
seven per cent. of expenditures, or s. 600 ,000
while the deficiency after the reduction of 1S45
more than ii per cent, and after that of 1851
t was q per cent.
