had married Major to Miss Florence Wood
within the past fourteen weeks, but he did
not positively Identify Major, stating that
he thought Major was tho man, but had
given fictitious name. Captain Mitchell
and his vile were present, however, and
testified that Major had lived OH League
Island in the samr house with him, and
that he had represented Florence Wood,
who had kept house, 10 be his wife; treated
her rs such and led the neighbors to sup
pose that they were married. Major
did not deny the fnt marriage,
but said that he bad not married the
Wood woman, and that she was
only his housekeeper. His wife retorted
thnt she was driven to drink by his cruel
ty. The magistrate held him in $500 bail
to answer the charge at court. Msjor says
the charges were trumped up against him
by Mitchell. Ills charges against Mitchell
are now being investigated by the authori.
ties at League Island. -''-.
1t is probable that tho charges made
against Major by his wife, OF stealing cop.
per, etc, will also be investigated. Mitchell
isa candidate for Congressional delegate in
the First ward, and is running against
Harry Lee, who is n iorema in the Navy
iard. 1t Is said that the fight between
these two men has led to the disclosures,
Major being Lees friend in the contest.

The present majority OF the Republicans
in the Legislature over the Democrats and
Greenbackers, both houses, is 2S. In 1850
the representation in Congress was Reed,
Frye and Lindsey, Republicans, and Ladd
anu Murch, Democratic.G ic.Greenbackers. In
1851 Fryewas elected to the Senate to fill
the unexpircd term OF Blaine, who re-
signed to accept the Secretary OF State
under Garfield. Dingley run in Frye's
district to fill the vacancy occasioned by
his (Frye's) resignation and the vote was
as follows: Dingley, lO,96l; Gilbert, Green:
backer) 5,5l9; Reed (Democrat), 10 In
1850 the vote in this district was: Frye
(Republican), l4,4l7; Fogg (Fusionl IL, l42.
In the light OF the above figures and the
glorious news appended, the Republican
party in Maine and the country at large
has reason to congratulate itself. A State,
where such determined fight was made
against the party by powerful combina-
tons, carried by immense gains, and
sweeping into the halls OF the national
Legislature five Congressmeu, should brace
up the backbone Of every straight-out Re
publican in the country. II is glorious
victory Blaine's voice in the canvass was
not IN idle whisper. 1t was power.

THE PENNSYLVANIA MIX,
independents Pushing the Re-ulnrs-4i
Compromise Movement.

PHILADELPHIA, September 10-A gentle
man who is well informed in regard to
what is transpiring in political circles yes
terday said
st has been an open secret for six months
that the movements OF the Independent
Republicans have been largely directed by
Mr.. Wharton Barker. In january, ut the
Assembly Building, he declared with very
great earnestness that Cameron and Cam
eron's methods must be put aside and that
We must have free party. In March his
letter to Senator Mitchell and the reply OF
the Senator again called public attention,
to the dangers for the Republican party
should Cameron be longer permitted to
insult the people, and in April at Mr.. Bar
ker's office Senator Mitchell met many in
duential citizens, and the results OF the
meeting were the Continental Hotel Con-
ference Of May l and the Philadelphia
Convention OF May "a.
From these facts, and from the fact that
Barker is chairman OF the independent
Advisory Board or conducting the cam
paign, much interest attaches TO the meet.
ings known to have been held at his office
the past week. There can no longer be
any doubt that the Stalwarts have con
fcssed their weakness and have proposed
the withdrawal OF the Cameron Beaver
ticket, and n meeting OF citizens will be
held at the office Of Mr.. John Welsh, some.
time on Monday, to arrange plan to
unite the Republican party.
The Independents have from the first
demanded the withdrawal OF the slated
Cameron ticket, the adoption OF party
rules which shall insure free party and a
civil.service reform which shall give tenure
OF Office for life to faithful public officers,
and there can be no question that their
present demands will be imperative on
these subjects; in word, they will insist
upon the adoption OF the platform OF the
Philadelphia Convention OF May 2i, and
the nomination Of q ticket which OF itself
shall embody the principles for which the
battle has been made. Mr.. Barker's man
agement OF the campaign so far has been
aggressive, capable and convincing, and no
alarm need be had lest the bosses, under
the direction OF Cameron, should get the
better OF the Independents at any point.
The political movements of the next week
will command National as well as State
attention, for the Independents are making
the battle Of 1854"

COmblasd Powers ConspIrlaE to Withdraw
Beaver and Stenart From the Track.

Special Dispatch to the lntelgencsr.
WASHINGTON, Pa, September 1.-THE
Republican campaign was opened in West.
ern Pennsylvania, this evening in this town.
The day was dark aud cold. Toward evening
the skies frightened and g'ive promise Of
more comfort. General Beaver, candidate
for Governor, Marriott Brosirs. candidate
for Congressinan-at.large, and Col. Stone,
United States District Attorney for West.
ern Pennsylvania, arrived ut the Fulton
House, where they were greeted by u large
number Of friends and admirers. The
inspiring notes Of brass band called the
crowd 10 the court house, which was ele.
gantly iestooned with flags and banners.
At no time for long period has the house
had so large and so jubilant u crowd. When
Gen. Beaver and party entered they were
received with prolonged cheers Of welcome.
The meeting was organized by calling
Hon J. R. Mclean to the Chair, with 4
list Of Vice. Presidents and Secretaries.
Mr.. Mclean responded to his call to the
Chair by brief but spirited speech and
then introduced Marriott Brosius, candi-
date for Congressmau-at-Large. Mr.. Brosius
has fine presence, pleasing manners and
agreeable voice. He paida glowing tributet to
the Republican party and claimed for it the
admiration and continued support OF intel
ligent and patriotic men because it hal
maintained the honor and credit OF the
Nation by its grand and successful financial
policy, and developed and has maintained
the prosperity Of the Nation by wise pro.
tective tariff. For nearly an hour he held
the audience spell.bound.
Col. Wm. A. Stone then paid his respects
to the Independents in q very humorous
way. He showed that the contest is not
with the. Independents; it is the old fight,
and Republicans must determine whether
Republicans or Democrats shall rule. The
humorous element in Col. Stone is very
magnetic,,and the effect was very inspiring.
Gen. Beaver was then introduced. His
graphic description of the results achieved
by the Republican party in the past, and
his prophetic anticipation Of its glory in
the future, held his audience with unabated
interest until halt.past ten o'clock. After
the speaking there was general band
shaking OF the people with the candidates.

September Report Of the Condition OF
the Crops,


E WAsriiNGroS, D. c., September 1.-THE
report OF the Department Of Agriculture on
the condition OF the cotton shows an i'm.
provement in Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas, and the
same detoriation in South Carolina, Geor-
gin and the States OF the Gulf Coast to
Louisiana inclusive. The general average
of Aug s. was 81; September, o., the $: me
rs September OF 80, and higher than any
other season for ten years. Lust year the az.
erlge dropped from IS in Aug. 30 in Sept.
The State averages are: Virginia, 10;
North Carolina, SIS; South Carolina, 95;
Georgia, 50; Florida, So; Alabama, 90;
Mississippi, IS; Louisiana, 50; Texas, -lOl;
Arkansas, l0O Tennessee, 50. These
figures indicate rs they stand q large crop,
but from ever quarter comes the intinia-
ton Of too much rain for the heavy freight
ing; too much "weed;" some shedding of
boles and n tendency to rust and later
development Of more boles than usual.
Under these conditions IN early frost
would be especially injurious. The cater
pillar has made its appearance in
many counties OF the Gulf coast
States. In places the second generation is
I"webbing up" While the damage is in
appreciabe as yet in most cases fears are
expressed that the third may do great in
Jury. The boil worm is reported ut many
points in Denton counay, Texas. Their de-
struclion is.estimated at 100000.
The corn crop in all the region south OF
Pennsylvania and the Ohio is in high con.
dition, in every State except West Virginia
represented by 100 or higher figures. In
many districts OF the south the crop is re-
ported the best in twenty years. In the
New England States there has been very
sharp decline, except in Vermont; from 81
to IS in Maine; 05 to 62 in New >Hamp-
shire; 81 to 60 in Massachusetts,; 93 to 10
in Rhode Island; from 90 to Is in Counecti-
cut, A decline of points in New York
and New Jersey, and 1 in Pennsylvania
is indicated. The loss in all these
States is due to the drought, which has
been especially severe in New England.
There has been abundant rain in all the
otherSates-En the corn growing States oil
the Ohio Valley the prospects average very
nearly us at the Inst report. The general
average OF the condition is So, the same as
in August. Last year there was decline
from Il in August to 10 in Sep
tember. In 1850 the September
average was o.. If early frosts do not in.
jure the crop, the product will be materi-
ally larger than last year, but the heavy
production OF 1879 and 1850 cannot be
approached under the most favorable cir.
cumstances. @ q
The oats crop, when harvested, was IN
m unusually high condition, yielding
heavily in threshing hegeuersl average
was 100, in very few States falling below
that figure, among them New jersey, Penn
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia.
The rye crop was also above the average
in nearly all the States and was harvested
in good condition.
The general average for tobacco is 50.
