AS STATED in yesterdays Gazette,
the trial of the sheriff and his deputies
at Lattimer, Pa, for shooting strikers
last September, has resulted in an ac-
quittal, the jury being fair minded
men, and the evidence showing that
the strikers were violators of the law
and resisted the law officers in the ex-
ecutiou of their legal duties. Striking
is an Improbable sport" even when
conducted quietly, but when violence
is resorted to and the law set at de-
fiance. it is necessarily disastrous.

acquitted man who confessed that he
stole saw and plane and sold them
under an assumed name. but said that
he did so when he was practically out
of his mind. Why certainly; he was
out of his mind when he committed
the theft, but that he got in it again i'm.
mediately, is proved by the fact that
he changed his name when he sold his
plumber, to avoid detection. But such

THE BILL that has just passed Con-
gress, putting fifty million dollars at
the Presidents absolute disposal, is
spoken OF in yellow journalism as bill
for national defense" Defense against
whom? Who is threatening this
country? Surely not Spain, for the least
OF her wants is war with the United
States, and to avoid all cause of such a
war shehas pocketed offensive treatment
and even insults, which she certainly
would not have done if she were first
class power. No matter what the real
object OF the bill may be, that it is not
for defense" goes without saying, to
most intelligent people.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAR 10, 1855

ACCORDING TO filibuster newspapers,
Consul General Lee said to the CORE
spordents of the New York yellow
journals in Havana "If Spain wishes
to declare any or all of US personnae
non gratae, it is her privilege to do so,
but if we must leave town we will
leave with the American flag flying,
and a brass band at the head OF the
procession" Also, 81 will stick by the
ship of state until the clouds roll by"
General Lees true friends hope, and
don't believe, ne ever uttered these
words. They are the words of North
ern jingoes in this country, and not
those of a Southern gentleman holding
q delicate and important government
position in foreign country, in which
he is and has been accorded the kindest
treatment, and most courteous and
G ,nsiderate care and attention.

Now THAT true accounts of the late
lynching at Lake City have been re-
ceived it is learned that the death OF
the child was accidental, the object OF
the mob being only to kill the negro
postmaster, and that the wounded ne
groes we're kindly and carefully attend
ed to by the reputable white people Of
the town, and the truth of this is at
tention by the negro preachers there
also that every effort has been made
by the officers of the town and State to
assist the U. s.. officers to discover the
guilty parties and bring them to JUS
tice. But as the truth in this, as in
other Southern outrage cases, would
not have conduced to republican sue
cess in the North, it was not told.

IT 10 now proposed that Spain shall
be punished for the accidental loss OF
the Maine, and for her suggestion that
the absence of Consul General Lee from
Havana, and that provisions for insur-
gent sympathzers be sent them in
merchant, rather than in war vessels,
by recognizing the belligerency of the
insurgents. But where and to whom
would a notification of such recognition
be sent. The insurgents have no seat
of government in CUBA their head
quarters, like General Pope's were, are
in the saddle; on plantation they have
burned to day, but in the swamps aid
Businesses tomorrow where the loyal
forces on the island cannot find them
The idea of recognizing their belligeren
cy is as absurd as would be that OF the
insurgents in the Philippine Islands.

IL was found that tho home OF Mrs. Han
nah Dolan was burning south Of the water
works at the upper end Of town. No plugs
are nearer han Ahern's corral, and it was
therefore impossible 10 get water on the
burning dwelling, and il was soon com
pletely destroyed. The wind was blowing
a terrific gale, and had the fire occurred
nearer the more settled portion Of that end
Of town the great fire OF several years ago
would have found q parallel and Eureka

II is not known how the fire originated.
but il is believed to have been caused by a
bucket Of ashes somewhere near the front
Of the house. Mrs. Dolan did not manage
to save anything from the flames.

Last Saturday evening as old Sol was

handsome young lady, on horseback, rode
swiftly up to the main entrance 10 one Of

were coon comfortably seated in the hotel
psrlor. Later in the evening the young
man emerged from his comfortable quar-.
tiers and disposed Of the two horses and
saddles for a mere pittance. Their actions
attracted the attention Of the hotel people
and rumors were soon going around that
the young couple were clipping. The young
man was exceedingly nervous and would
turn crimson and bound from his chair
every time he heard the door open. Upon
the arrival Of the Cherry Greek stage the
young lady went in hiding for q few min
utes, when the young Lochinvar r~econnoi-
tered. Their trunks arrived on the stage,
but the expected irate parent, that they
seemed TO dread, did not materislize.
They left on No. 8 for Salt Lake City,
where. perhaps, those two souls with but

themselves in matrimonial felicity.
