PIrTsBURG, October S.-The b~i-centen-
NAL OF the landing OF the first German
colony upon American shores, was eel
ebrated in a fitting name to-day by the
German residents of this city. The weather
was beautiful, and everything %conspired to
make the celebration a grand success and
the greatest event in the local history of
the German population of Pittsburg and
Allegheny. The procession, which was
at least ten miles long, with 10000 per-
ons and 1000 wagons in line, was indie
~scribably picturesque. All trades were
represented, including butchers, bakers,
tanners, ~glassmakers, iron and steel work
ers and carpenters, while every nation
in the world had representatives in cos
tunes, ali forming a grand moving show,
which kept 100000 spectators in good
humor for four hours. When the head of
the procession reached Diamond Square,
Allegheny City, a meeting was organized,
and addresses made by Prof. Paul Rhon-
bacher, the Hon. J. NJ. kirkpatrick, John
f. Jones, and others. Tonight is given
up to concerts, balls, banquets, etc. The
best of order prevailed all day and very
little drunkenness was observed on the

II Even Northern Men Can be
Elected by the Democrats

Pamela, Miss Star: Those who favor
the nomination of a Southern man claim
that it would eliminate sectionalism from
National politics that as the South gives
the majority of votes to the Democracy,
this section, as a matter OF Justice, Is en-
titled to such recognition. We willingly
concede the Justice and fairness OF the lat
ter idea; but the former we greatly doubt.
| Instead of eliminating we believe it would
| intensity sectional feeling. Since the war,
although the dominant party, the Repub-
licans have not dared to nominate a South
ern man for Nice-President. That party
is still in power, and shall the Democrats
| blindly provoke fate by doing something
their powerful and hitherto successful OPP
~Ionents have feared to do? As yet the
Democrats have been unable to elect a
Northern man ce-President. We had
| better wait till we can elect a Northern
man before clamoring for the nomination
of a Southern man. 1t occurs to us that
II would be in far better taste and more iu
accordance with the fitness of things for
this demand to come from the North rath-
er thar the South. When the North is
willing TO accept a Southern Nice-Presi-
dent she will be apt to advise us OF the fact.
We have much to lose and nothing sub
stantial to gain by this new departure, and
we think the movement should be crushed
in its incipiency. The plain truth OF the
matter is that both of the great parties are
sectional and will so remain until the wal
generation is numbered with the past
Until that time we honestly believe that
neither the Democratic nor the republican
party will have the courage to place an ex-
rebel on the national ticket. About all We
can expect will be to have a cabinet repre-
sentative. And that will be considered q
concession to the erring brethren. The
South, in the ewes of the North, has griev'
ously sinned against the nation, aud mus
remain on probation for a whole genera
ton. We greatly regret that such is thu
case. hut it would be senseless and useles:

The Democracy Not to be Cheated Ous
of Victory.

Nashville american: The Democratic
party eXrects next year to turn the Re
publican party out of the control of the af-
fairs of the United States. 1t means bust
ness. 1t is in no mood to tolerate fantas-
tic tricks of so-called Democratic leaders,
dressed in a little brief authority or assum-
ing the authority to teach the party
through organs that are inclined to be re-
bellious and dictatorial. On the eve of
promised victory, the Den. ocracy will not
nave much patience with the wranglings
of rivals for leadership. If Mr.. Mclean,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has a grudge
against Mr.. Pendleton, or Mr.. Watterson,
OF the Louisville Courier-JoUTndl, has a
spite against Mr.. Randall, or some other
intriguing Democratic boss desires to kill
off some other Democrat who may be in
his way or in the way of his next friend,
the honest Democratic masses will quietly
but determinedly require those disturbers
to take a back seat. Treason to the party,
from motives of self interest, will be
watched very narrowly and squelched
summarily. There will be short shrift
with mutineers in the present temper OF
| the Democracy. 1t is not to be cheated
out OF victory this time by treachery or
recklessness on the part of its subaltern

Anew Movement in Politics.

CLEVELAND, O., October S.-The Women's
Christian Temperance Union has rented
store-rooms and in some cases entire dwell
ings in close proximity to the voting-places
in every ward in this city for headquarters
at the election tomorrow. These places
will be decorated with flowers, banners
and notices. Hot coffee and cakes will
be served. Men are employed to peddle
tickets off with the affirmative for the
second amendment to the constitution.
The ladies themselves will peddle tickets
and electioneer for the amendment. The
most earnest and shrewdest work of this
political campaign has been done by and
for the Women's Christian Temperance
Union in favor of the second amendment.

Brutal Outrage Upon au Aged Couple

New HAVEN, Conn, October 6.-Mon-
day night of last week two young men,
named respectively Charles Reed and
George Bradley, called upon Deacon Col
Inns and wife, an aged couple living near
the outskirts of North tTuilford. Both
were intoxicated, and, as they entered the
house, said in a loud voice, that they had
come for fun and proposed to have it.
They blew out the lamp and then began
throwing the furniture around the room,
breaking it to pieces, and also to hit the
old lady with pillows. Suddenly they
seized her, dragged her through the
kitchen aud out into the woodshed and
threw her roughly on the ground. Mrs.
Collins is eighty-ive years old and was un-
able to make any resistance, and to all heI
entreaties for mercy they turned a deaf
ear and mercilessly assaulted her. Upon
regaining consciousness Mrs. Collins told
who had been her ASSISTANTS, and Reed
was at once arrested. Bradley could no
be found until Thursday afternoon, when
he was captured by Sheriff Hart. To-day
they We're brought before Justices Hull and
Guilford and were bound over.

which regards everything designed to
benefit the South at the cost OF the gov
eminent as an unwarrantable and THEY
ing grasp at the purse-strings of Uncle
Sam. The West, however, will cheerfuliy
assent to it for reasons OF ex-
pediency. The Mississippi river is
the natural high road to the sea
for the graneries of the West, and what
ever is done to improve the stream must
be heartily seconded by that sturdy sec
ton. Confining the river to its channel by
a complete and well-sustained levee sys-
tenn, will have the effect of deepening the
channel and keeping it clear. To naviga,
ton this is essential, and for that reason II
no other, the West will join hands with
the South in asking Congress to take the
levees in charge. This done, there viii

THE FIRE.
Nothing Definitely known as to the
Losses or Insurance.

DALLAS, October S.-The damaged cot
ton and debris of Saturdays fire is still
burning, and will continue so for a week.
1t is impossible at present to form any
thing like a correct estimate of the losses.
The adjudgmeNt will probably consume a
months time. The total amount of in
surance, as far as known, is 1925, 600, the
greater part of which is on cotton, so that
the actual losses cannot be computed un,
til it is known whose cotton was burned.
and also the number of bales consumed
which, it is still thought, will be about
1000.
Another fire is reported from Lancaster
this county, where Freeman's new gin and
about seventy-five bales of cotton were
burned. Loss about $1,000; partly in.
sureG. r. p. Henry, of the same r!ace, is
also reported to nave lost eighty bales o.
cotton by the fire. 1t is said that q
Beckley, of Lancaster, had $50 bales of cot
ton burned in the fire here, on which
there was no insurance.

The south and west Must Rule.

kosCiusko Miss Star: The South and
West are destined to control the political
affairs of this great republic. The signs
are evident and are everywhere accumu-
lating round about us. So says the
Shreveport Standard, which also says:
eve behold before us the new South, with
a new and more vigorous life than it has
ever yet fel5 or enjoyed. st. Louis,
Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Kansas
City, and all that extensive country eX-
tending to the Pacific, are counting its
trade, and determining to take advantage
of its seaboard. Changes are rapidly
taking place that will draw these people
closer together, not only commercially but
politically. Bonds of interest and SYM
pathy are uniting them, and before an
other decade a power will be organized
that will control this country, its policy,
legislation and laws, and give a check to
that spirit of Capitalization which at n
time threatened to destroy the republic"

WooDvILLE, October 6.-Junius Powell,
a boy seventeen years old, who lives at
this place, was arrested yesterday on the
charge of robbing the mail. He afterward
confessed to the deed. He was the carrier
on the route from here to Double Bridges,
In Lauderdale county, by way of Gates, on
the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern

month ago, and it is now supposed he got
that. He was arrested and carried to
Ripley, and will be tried. This is a very
unfortunate occurrence, as the young mans
father is highly respected in this section
This ought to te another lesson for young
men starting out in life, that they should

certainly, escape the p~enitentiary, and his
doom is deeply regretted here on account
of his eray-haired old father and his fam
lily. The amount taken is not learned.

Digstmc for OIL In Ohio

MECCA, o., October S.-The tunnel for
lubricating oil is about to be driven at this
place under the management of a COM
pany organized in New York, with Silas
b. butcher as president. The oil is found
in an area fifteen miles in length by five
miles wide. 1t is estimated that 100000
barrels have been taken out by pumping
wells at IN average of forty feet, which
would represent, at its present value of $50
per barrel. $4,000 900. 1t has been
demonstrated that a tunnel about six feet
by three feet will pay to cut through a
strata of shale that forms the division be-
tween two layers of sandstone, which has
the appearance OF maple sugar. The
company has two square miles of
territory in the heart of the best developed
region, and should the yield be but one
pint per running foot per day it would pay
thirty-three and a third per cent. on the
capital stock OF 81 200, 900. The tunnel
will be four miles long.

Knoxville Tenn Chronicle: THE body
and brains of the Democratic party is in
the South its tail is in the North. And
yet the tail governs both the body and the
head. Time was when the body wagged
the tail. Now Southern Democrats have
nothing to 10 but vote as their Northern
masters dictate. The moment a Southern
Democrat suggests a Southern man for a
place on the Democratic Presidential
ticket, behold the whole Northern De-
mocracy raise their hands with their fin
gers spread, iii holy horror, and with an
expression on their countenance that says,
The time hasn't vet come when the coun-
try will trust a Southern Democrat on the
Presidential ticket"
Tucson (Ariz.) Star: There is much
truth in the foregoing, and it is to hoped
the Southern Democracy will consider well
before they attempt to jeopardize the sue
cess of the whole party.
