PoTTsvILLE, Pa, July 3I.-At 3:15
O'Clock this morning tremendous explo-
sion, the shock OF which was distinctly
felt in this city, occurred at ST. Clair, two
miles distant. Dynamite had been placed
under the Baptist church and exploded,
wrecking the building and entailing dam
age TO the amount OF several hundred dol
lars. The perpetrators have not been dis
covered, but the act Is universally regard
ed as the result OF the crusade Of the Law
and Order Society, through whose efforts
Daniel Walter, an old and respected citi-
zen. was recently imprisoned for technical
violation OF the liquor law, and who died
in a short time, his death being generally
attributed 10 his imprisonment. Some
six months ago the store OF an active
member OF the society was blown up, and
the excitement and bad blood occasiOned
by that demonstration has been raised to
fever heat by the subsequent events re-
sulting in this mornings outrage.

the Seven Days Fight Denied.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Brig. Gen.
Philip st. G. Cook (retired) has filed
charges at the War Department against
Gen. Fitz John Porter growing out of the
report made by the latter in regard to the
conduct of the former at Gaines Mills at
the beginning of the seven days fight, in
June, 1862, when Gen. Porter commanded
the Fifth army corps and Gen. Cook COM
manded brigade OF cavalry. 1t is al
legged that Gen. Porter reported that Gen.
Cook mismanaged his troops on that
occasion and did more harm than good
to his cause. Since then Gen. Cook has
asserted that the report was false and
malicious, and it is understood that he
now asks that the facts be Investigated.
No action has yet been taken in the mat
ter by the Secretary of War, and there is
a strong impression in the department
that none is contemplated.

TIE ARTISTS.

Coming now to the artists themselves.
We would say their principal weakness
lies in a faulty technique, and their
strength in a wholesome study OF
nature. With so much Of what is both
beutiful and grand, constantly before
their eyes. they cannot help but trans
nit much OF il TO their canyasses; and
as We have before stated they are earn
est students in the great volume thus
laid open before them. The result is q
sincerity and depth iDtheir works Often
quite in excess Of their art methods.
Some, however, are struggling hard for
that mechanical excellence, by which
alone they can do justice 10 the yieor of
their conceptions. Among the Younger
members OF the circle, some have
taken advantage OF the at schools.

Such was the opinion of the ilIustrions

our while to find out whether it Is not
true Of Utah as well as of the country
to which it was addressed. At first
thought it may appear entirely out o,

such may be the case. We have re.
peatedly called attention TO The studios

and Literature have been obtained.
And such nucleus we claim to have in
our Territory. We have amongst rs a
circle OF artists, more in number and
OF more advanced talent than any other
city Of our population in the Western
States; we further claim that they
have already reached a stage when il
becomes the duty of our citizens 10 ex-
tend to them the patronage and sup
port which are extended to other home
industries. If early indications are a
warrant for hope in the future
then We believe that Salt Lake CITY /
will yet be a centre of music and fine (
arts. The present question is, shall We
recognize and give some support to the
-abors OF these men, or let their efforts
become dead letter? Without patron
ige, without interest or sympathy, they
'annot work. Is it not better that We

without confirmation, he has done
something that is not generally known in
this community. The DEMOCRAT has
been laboring under the impression that
to the courts would be left the work OF
installing the Governors appointees, II
they are legally entitled to the offices,
and for that matter, it is well known that
those gentlemen are either about to ap-
peal, or already have appealed, to the
courts to install them in the offices to
which they have been appointed.
This dispatch, it occurs to us, is just as
unreliable in its statements as was the
