what the PennsyIvauia Independents
Revolt Against.

In the convention which nominated the
regular state ticket, three-fourths Of the dele
gates were chosen by county committees
elected one or two years since. II is believed
that the convention was called thus early to
prevent any participation Of Republican vot-
ers in the selection of delegates That there
is basis for this opinion is found in the fact
that the anti-maohine members Of the com
mittee calling the convention urged delay in
order that the Republican voters might have
a voice in the election Of delegates, but were
voted down by the Cameron men. This, II
need not be added, is anti Republican, and
when there is no other remedy, revolt is the
last resort. There appears 10 be no other
remedy. The machine controls the party or
ganization so that IL is scarcely possible to
break its hold Again, the influence of the
Cameron machine has been demoralizing in
the extreme. No man of ability and inde-
pendence can hope for political preferment.
Pennsylvania Republicans we're largely in ia
vor of ex.speaker Grow for United States
Senator in 1881. Many county conventions
declared for him and instructed their mem
bers Of the Legislature TO vote for him, but
instead of obeying such instructions they did
the bidding Of Mr. Cameron. District con-
ventions instructed their delegates TO vote
against the third term proposition, but at the
suggestion OF Mr. Cameron many of these
gentlemen, including Gen. Beaver, candidate
for Governor ignored their constituents.
Nearly every Republican Representative from
that state in the present Congress was as good
as pledged TO vote for Mr.. Hiscock OF New
York for Speaker Mr.. Cameron, either for
purposes Of his own or to spite those VINO
opposed Mr.. Oonkling in New York, desired
the election of Mr.. Keifer. As scnn ns Sen
ator Cameron informed the Republican Rep
regentatiyes of Pennsylvania that he desired
them to vote for Mr.. Keifer, they made haste
to do his bidding. They did this because
they knew that such is the power of the ma
chine that he might defeat their denomination
or refuse to allow them to distribute the pat
ronage in their districts. These are some of
the wrongs and evils against which the Inde-
pendents OF Pennsylvania, after years of pro-
test, now revolt. We think that most Repub-
licans will deem them to be sufficient.

Old B. says that some years ago. in North
Carolina town, a crazy man was brought be-
fore an examining board to settle the question
as to whether or not he should be sent TO the
asylum in Columbia. After the doctor got
through with his examination, one of the CON-
mittee, an old farmer, said:
'My friend, did you ever borrow any bags
or jugs!"
"Yes, lots of them"
"Did you over borrow your neighbor's news
paperY"
"Yes, many time"
'Well, now, what became OF the jugs, bags
and newspapers p
"Why, carried them all back"
The old farmer gave blow almost as loud
as the Nancy Harris whistle, and said
'Gentlemen, hos no lunatic Just simply
a common liar. And all the asylums in the
world won't cure man of lying. ."-HdrtaoeE

Last uour. Of John quincy Adam.

never witnessed so impressive scene as
that in the old hall of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes on the 21st of February, 1S4S, when
Mr.. Adams was stricken down by death at his
seat. He lad partially risen as If to speak,
then grasped the desk with convulsive mo-
ton, and would have fallen had not his neigh
Dor, David Fisher of Ohio, caught him in his
arms. The representatives and those of US
correspondents who had seats on the floor has
tened to the spot, and there were cries of
'Stand back I" "Give him air !" Garry him
to the window! !" Nearly all seemed panic
struck and confused, but Speaker Winthrop
retained his self-possession and adjourned the
House. Ready hands brought a settee, on
which Mr., Adams was carried into the rotun-
da. The fresh air, however, did not seem to
revive him, and by invitation of Mr.. Winthrop
he was taken into the Speakers room, where
bed was soon made on a large, old fashioned
sofa Five physicians, who were members of
the House, held hurried consultation, and by
their direction mustard poultices were applied
to his feet-produoing, however, but little Of
feet. Meanwhile Mrs. Adams, with some fe-
male friends and the family physician, had
arrived. Cupping was then resorted to, and
about an hour after he had fallen the dying
patriot opened his eyes and said to DIR. Pey-
tom "This is the last Of earth, but am
composed"
These were the last words spoken by John
Quincy Adams. The remainder of that day
and through the two following days did he
linger on the verge of existence
His history closing as life seldom endsl
He had outved ali foes, till the world were his friends
Statesmen of all parties, including Henry
Clay, called upon him, but he knew them not.
He fingered until the afternoon of the 23d of
February. His spirit quietly took its flight,
and Burling, Healey, Palfrey and others who
stood by his bedside might have exclaimed, in
the language of Beaumont
How Bweetly
Even death embraces theel The peace Of Heaven,
The fellowship Of all great souls, go with theel
few days later the remains of Mr.. Adams
were escorted TO their last resting-plaoe at
Quincy by large Congressional committee,
who were Hospitality entertained at Boston
after the funeral The old Speakers room in
which he died is now the room of the House
committee on banking and currency, and when
Mr.. Sam Hooper was chairman of that COM
mittee he had bust of Mr.. Adams placed
there, with a slab underneath bearing an ap-
propriate commemorative inscription written

SOME DAINTY WoRK.-In Elizabethan times
one Mark Scaliot constructed lock Of eleven
pieces of iron, steel and brass, to which was
attached chain of 43 golden links and this
being put around fleas neck, lock, chain and
hea weighed only grain and half of gold
Surely such miracle of skill was worth pre-
serving for posterity. Oswald Nothingerus
once turned 1000 dishes of ivory which all
went into peppercorn, if, indeed, we may
shown to Pope Paul ", who counted and YER
fled them himself by the aid of msgnifying
glass. Father Ferrarius, Jesuit, would not
be outdone, and he made 25 wooden cannon
which went into the same compass; and Simon
Marolus-whoever he was-had one of these
miniature wonders in his possession, and was
very proud of it.-AH the Year Round.

A correspondent of the New York Sun gives
the following remedy for sleep walking Be
fore retiring, place on the floor in front of the
bed some towels soaked with cold water or a
large washtub filed with cold water. Whsn
tho somnambulist gets up and puts his feet
into the water he is sure to awake, and will
prefer to creep into the warm bed again rath.
or than stroll around like a ghost. After q
few surprises of that kind, sleep walking los
es all its charms. tried this plan six weeks,
and attempted to leave the bed four times dur.
ing that period, but was soon recalled to my
senses by the cold water, and since then have
been entirely free from somnsmbulism.

Peace and T1s.T' at 1hs south,


Tho Charleston News and Courier declares
that the people of South Carolina "want peace
and rost," aud that this is denied them, and
will continue to be ''untl the Republican
party sees and confessos that the negro is not
fit to rule white men or to rule himself. "
That is one way of stating it. The other,
and We think it will turn out the truer way, is
to say that the people of South Carolina will
have no peace and rest" until they respect
the law, and respect the right of every citi-
zen under tho laws, be he white or black.

A DISTRESSING SToRY OF THE RECENT
GEORGIA CYCLONE is to the effect that the
wife of DIR. Carroll, of Monticello, hearing
the storm coming, ran to her husband, who
threw his arm about her neck. At the same
moment the wind blew the house down upon
them, and crushed them TO the floor, the
mother with the infant in her arms, the hus-
band with his arm around his wife's neck.
The timbers locked the Doctors arm so close
ly about her neck that he could not remove
it, He was conscious that he was choking
her to death, but all his efforts to throw of
the timbers were futile. When assistance
came his wife was dead The child also was
dead.

GOOd-Night Song.
Goodnight
Weary one, take sleeps delight;
Now the day 10 gently closes,
And each busy hand reposes
Till gay morning greots the sight.
Goodnight
Go 10 rest
Let the tired eyeiids fall
In the street where silence lietb,
Loud the hour the watchman crieth,
And the soft night-voices call:
''Go to restr"
Sleep sweetlyi
Dream, sad heart, Of Paradlsel
Love thy holy calm hath shaken,
May bright dreams thy Joy awaken,
OF thy loved one in the skies.
Sleep sweetlyi
Goodnight
Sleep till breaks the coming day;
Sleep until the newborn morning
Brings new duties with It's dawning.
God will watch. Put fear awayi
Goodnight

Three Sea Captains Attacked DT
Gang and Roughly Used

About quarter to eleven O'Clock last night
Capt. Fox, OF the bark E. A. Sanches, Capt.
Weeks. OF the schooner VIM. E. Lee, and
Cent. Simpson Of the schooner Henry D..
Nav, left the Central Railroad wharves,
where their vessels are lying, and started
to come up into the city where they pro-
posed to spend the night.
While coming through Indian street, and
when within about fifty yards Of West Broad
street, they were suddenly attacked by i've
men. Captain Fox, who is a large, well
built man, was struck in the forehead with
g billy or some cudgel, and knocked pros
trate In the street, when his Sssailants com
menced kicking and rolling him over in
the mud. Captain Weeks was also roughly
handled, but Captain Simpson managed to
escape any injury.
ed. and the locality being 10 portion OF
the street that was dimly lighted, the as
ssulted parties were taken 81
disadvantage. The disturbance, how
ever, attracted the attention of Police
msn Clancy, who CHANGED to be In the
vicinity, and, summOniDg assistance, ne
EastsUed to the place and succeeded In
srresting two OF the assailants, who were
carried to the barracks, whittier they were
Fox had a very ugly lump on the side OF his
head, the result of the blow he received, and
his clothes, fsce and hands were terribly
muddied, showing plainly that he had been
very roughly used after he had been knccaed
down. Captain Weeks pants were torn
and his coat covered with dirt.
l. is supposed the assault was made upon
the parties with view TO robbing them,
but the prompt appearance Of the police
prevented the accomplishment Of such pur-
pose.
The Captains were very indignant at this
unprovOked and outrageous attack, and
Captain Fox expresses q determination to
have his assailAnts prosecuted to the extent
OF the law.
About twelve O'Clock another of the par
ties implicated in the assault was arrested
but there are two still st large. They are
known, however, and 1t is anticipated
that they will be spprehended shortly.

The Recent Fire.

The scene Of the destructive fire on Bay
street was yesterday visited by hundreds Of
people, and the disaster was the subject Of
general comment. An inspection of the
ruins showed that there was possibility Of
saving a small portion Of the goods, and
about hslf-psst ten O'Clock in the
morning Messrs. solomons Bros. had a
gang of negroes at work clearing
away the debris snd removing a lot
of the damaged tobacco and canned goods.
Everything was thoroughly soaked with
water, but 1t is probable that there may be
several hundred dollars worth Of the goods
saved.
In the notice of the fire, which appeared
yesterday, it was not the intention to con-
vey the idea that the insu-
rance agents had objected to
any effort being made to remove the stock,
bur that the firm were unwilling to do so
until they had explicit permission from the
agents. This, however, was not necessary,
as there is a clause in the policy which re-
Quires the insured to use every effort to
save his stock, and had goods been removed
1t would not have been at the risk OF the
firm.
Messrs. Solomon Bros. have secured the
establishment on the north side Of Bay
street, nearly opposite their burned store,
which was formerly occupied by Mr.. G. II.
Remshart, and will resume business as soon
as possible.
During the day they received kilograms
from the North expressing sympathy for
their misfortune, and rendering assistance
from friends there to enable them ID start
again.

Last evening about O'Clock white man
considerably under the infuerce Of liquor,
and whose apparel was in very disordered
condition, entered a store al the corner Of
Bryan and Jefferson streets and created
considerable disturbance. He asserted that
he had been shot in the head by negro near
the Central Railroad wharf and pointed to his
bleeding head as proof Of his assertion. His
conduct was very violent and bOisterous,
and policeman was summoned, who az
once arrested him. He gave the officer
grest trouble, but was finally conveyed
to BroughtOn street, and the officer got him
on q street car and started for the bar
racks. On the trip the individual be
came very excited, and shortly after passing
Ball street he had another scrimmsge with
the policeman and attempted to jump of
the car. He was unsuccessful, and was
eventually landed at the barracks, where
be insisted that he had been shot in the
head. DR.. Mcfarland was summoned, and
after examining the wound stated that 1t
was g slight cut, nothing at all serious, and
that there were no evidences Of the man
having been shot. The individual could not
tell how he received the wound, or where.

Regular Meeting OF the BOard.-The
Condition of HutchInson's Island.

The Board met at regular meeting yester-
day. Present-MaYor John F. Wheaton,

Esq, and Drs. L. A. Falllgant and j. 7. Nc
Farland.
The minutes of the last regular meeting
February 13th) and special meeting (Febru-
airy 15th) were read and confirmed, and the
Health Officers report was ordered spread
upon the minute book.
The Health Officer reported that the Lin
coin street sewer connecting with property
OF the estate of Mrs. NJ. Marshall, on Sonth
Broad street, was completed during the past
week.
A letter from j. B. Howard, ESQ City
Surveyor, was read, which stated that dur
ing the past ten days every exertion had
been made toward the closure OF the breaks
In the dams upon Hutchinson's Island.
Mr.. Howard stated that much work had
been done and is still required TO get the
break In condition before the work OF fill
ing in is commenced. The unusual high tides
Of last week interfered to considerable ex-
tent with the progress OF the work.
At the suggestion of Mr.. W. Barnwell,
through Mr.. Howard, the Mayor has direct
ed that several scow loads of mud be secur-
ed, il possible, and dumped in the hole,
outside of the large break, ON or about Tues
day prox. 1t is stated, both by Mr.. How
ard and Mr.. Barnwell, that they expect to
have the tidal flow excluded from the island
by the middle of next week.
The Mayor presented TO the board letter
from Messrs. Weed & CornWell, in which
they protested against the quarantine
charge OF $35 for the fumigation Of the bark
Hazard from Rio Janeiro. The case in
question was discussed by the board, and
the Secretary was instructed to reply to the
communication with the statement that the
Board OF Sanitary Commissioners deemed 1t
requisite for the safety of the community
that all vessels arriving at this port, at any
and all periods of the year from Rio ia
metro, should be fumigated, and conse-
quently charged for same.
The meeting then adjourned.

An Old Relic.

The following paragraph we find in the
Besufort Sea Island Meas. The w. B. Mckee
referred to is Mr.. Mckee, chief clerk at the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, in
this city:
awe saw a few days ago an interesting
relic of the late 'unplessantness.' 1t was an
original muster and pay roll Of light srtil-
lery company in which Colonel 7. g. White
served as a Lieutenant throughout the war
The roll, printed upon coarse brown paper,
numbered 167 privates and non-commis-
stoned officers Of Company F of Colonel
T. B. Whites regiment, light artillery. 1t
has been sent to the Office of the Adiutant
General by Colonel White under the call
seeking for such records to compile the roll
Of troops furnished by the State to the late
Confederacy. The company was COM
handed by Captain F. Z. Schultz, and its
armament was six Napoleon guns. Its other
officers were Augustus Fiudd, T. G.. White,
w. B. Mckee and w. K. Fluid. The com
bined pay of officers and men at the date Of
making up this payroll, so we are told,
would have bought in Confederate money
nearly four barrels of -four"
