EPIDEMIC OF CRIME. Hare we struck an epidemic of crime? The report from all qaar ten of lawlessness, rapine,araon and murder present a terrible record,snd the latest addition to the list, the atrocious murder at Penningtonrille in oar own State.farnishes a climax of brutality. The details of this crime are so terrible, and the flend ishness of the murderer so apparent that one marvels that the perpetra tor is human, or that the freed for gold could so completely transform the man into a demon. NIAGARA. All the good points of view on the American side of Niagara Falls have been or soon will be fenced in, for the purpose of extorting addi tional half dollars from visitors. The. next thing will muffling the roar of the cataract so that it can only be heard on payment of a fee. In early morning the clond of va por above the Falls is visable miles away,aud when touched by the rosy light of sunrise is exceedingly beau tiful. Cannot something be done to put a charge on this spectacle? HAVE NO SYMPATHY. "The Democratic papers complain that so much ' clerical . force . was wasted in the burial of the Presi dent's father, Jesse B. Graxtt,o less than thirteen clergymen having been present on that occasion. As the poor old man held a trifling office worth fifty dollars a month, did not drink whisky, and belonged to 4he Methodist : church, they have no sympathy with such a criminal, and would, if they could, have condemn ed him. to death without benefit of clergy. ' " " ' . WON'T SCARE. Theatttempt of the New York Herald and other Democratic sheet to get up a political scare over, the imaginary danger of Grant's candi dacy for a third term and his possi ble assumption thereafter of dicta torial powers, has not been success ful. ' The people do not scare worth a cent ' The Democratic papers have sounded the alarm vigorously; have dwelt pathetically upon the dangers impending; and have warned the publie with an urgency that would be commendable, if the whole thing were not so ridiculous. But every thing goes on as before.undisturbed, the people eat, drink and are merry, are married and are given in mar riage Just as has been the case for a hundred years past It is very evi dent they do not believe there is any danger. t -. GOING A BEGGING. The Democratic and Liberal nom ination for Governor of this state is still going a begging.. Ewing says he will not have it, and every one has been named for it, so far, de clines it. The trick really is. how ever, to iiominate Thurman, so as to give him a double chance for the United States Senatorship. It de feated, and the Democrats should still carry the Legislature, his de feat for Governor will give him 'a claim on the Senatorship for the gallant fight made by him; and if elected Governor, he will have a still stronger claim on the votes of his party for Senator, provided they have sufficient strength in the Leg islatnre to elect him. ' REMARKABLE LAW SUIT. A remarkable law suit, which win prove of incalculable importance as a precedent, has just been instituted in the District Court of Washington It seems that Honorable Caleb Gush ing has bsea tormented by the cease less barking of a neighbor's do&and that his hours of rest and study have been seriously broken up there by ., and his. health impared. Mr. Gushing has therefore sned the guar diau of the dog, one Kelly, for $4, 000 damages. The dog is owned bv Hon. Fernando Wood.wbo is absent from the city. Mr. Gushing is a shrewd lawyer and thinks he has a sure case. We hope, in the interest of the dog-ridden .community, that vhe has. His success would make dog-keeping an expensive luxury t i , , i i wuicn wouki dc sparingly inauigea IMAGINARY. The case of General Howard is a godsend to the Democratic press. They assume that there is an unex plained deficiency in his accounts, as a disbursing officer of the Freed -men's Bureau, of $800,000; but this -is merely an imaginary sum.' ' No authoritative intimations have been given as to the amount of the unset tled accounts. All that is known is that there is a deficiency in the ac counts of some of General Howard's subordinates, and the Attorney Gen eral has given his opinion that the General is responsible, pecuniarily for the acts of bis subordinates. That ' is all that has leen made known so far, and the result of any legal trial that may be instituted will alone show how much the responsi bility amounts to. We are confi dent it will not prove large and that the investigation will not in the least affect General Howard's integ rity. ;-. . .' I V.i, IMPORTANCE OF FRESH AIR. The malignant outbreak of chol era in the Ohio penitentiary -illus trates very forcibly the importance of fresh air in warm weather. The penitentiary contains about eight hundred men. The Prison author ities have perfect control over the diet, cloth ing.exercise and appetites of every cqnvjct under their charge. It is fair to presume that the con- hours of sleep and . freedom from the effects of stimulants are all as nearly perfect as possible. But there is one fact that tells against them fearfully when in the presence of a malignant disesse like cholera. The cells in which the men sleep are nar row, small and damp. . They are built in solid tiers and all open into the same hall or corridor. The doors of the cells are heavy wrought iron grates, small and offering but slight facilities for ventilation. The oonvict spends about two-Ofths of his time in this cell, breathing a vi tiated atmosphere. He is thus pre pared for the cholera, and when the Asirtic plague strikes him its work is swift and certain. The lesson to be learned from the terrible scenes in the Ohio Penitentiary is that clean,' well ventilated sleeping rooms are essential to health in summer. THE CENTENNIAL. ' The subject of the Centennial cel ebration of Amsrican Independence is already receiving attention from the Commissioner of Education. In 1871 the Commissioner at a meet ing of the National Teachers Con vention at St. Louis, introduced a resolution and delivered an address showing the importance of timely and full preparation for the repre sentation of educational progress it. the United States at the Centennial celebration. Information received attbeBurean also-shows that the Teachers' Association of Pennsylva nia and other States have had the matter under advisement The Com missioner of Education will shortly send out circulars to the various ed ucational institutions of the country from the university down' to 'the township free school, asking a his tory' of each, with drawings and models illustrative of the . founda tion and growth of the institution or school. This will give a most com plete View of the development of education from the primitive schools established by the various Coloniza tion companies down to the present time.. The Bureau .of, Education will collate, digest and classify the most important features of these special histories, so as to give a gen eral idea of progress, schools are one of the boasted institutions of our land and the bulwark of its lib erties. . It is eminently lltting,there fore, that they should be appropri ately represented in that great exhi bition of the progress of a hundred years of National existence. SORROWS OF THE DEMOCRACY. The Summer sorrow of the Demo cracy are hard upon them. A revi val of Democracy is their, desire and the hope is that somehow the Republican party will disrupt Mas sachusetts is looked upon as the promised land, and nothing short of a Democratic Governor for the old Bay State will realize the wishes of the unterrified. But so far . as the country generally is ojicerned,they find it hard to get a ; good - founda tion for their hopes.- Even Massa chusetts will not, in all probably afford them the gratification, they look for.' Even1' should -Butler be nominated, he will pull through. In regard to their general hopes ths New York Pott rather caustically in quires: "Do they believe that the people of this country want princi pies rather than names? and if yes, upon what principles do the received Democrats propose to go before the country? Will they urge free trade? Ask the Maryland and Pennsylvania Democratic newspapers and public men. Will they urge morality and honesty in ' ths ' Government? - Ask the majority of Democratic Con gressmen who voted for and have taken the back -pay plunder,and who were willing to overlook the Credit Mobilier fraud. Will they urge the old Democratic principle of the. op position to the Government's invest ing in internal improvements? . Ask the Democrats of Virginia and oth er States where canals anrl rkilroails are demanded at the public expense.' These questions satisfactorily an swered would greatly aid the Demo cracy in their apsirations. CHEAPER RENTS. - After tbe great fire in Boston some of the leading merchants determin ed to seek locations where rents were less exorbitant, to te9t the effect of location upon trade. They changed paid much less rent, and have done a business equaling that in their old location. Two .dry goods houses, Sargent Brothers & Co., and Evans, Webster A Co., located themselves, the one at the extreme north, and the other at the extreme south of what is known as the dry goods sec tion. The former, previous to the fire, occupied premises the ground floor ot which had an area of 13,000 feet, at a rental of 117,500. After the fire they took ' premises with ground floor area of 14,000 feet at a rental of $10,000, and have done i most satisfactory business. Tbe oth er firm previous to the fire, paid $7,- 500 rent, subsequently $2,000, and their trade has been double that of the corresponding months last year. Other instances there are equally as marked. The merchants are now disposed to seek cheaper rents, sat isfied that location is not as impor tant an element to attract trade as has been supposed. They are dis posed to believe that extravagance in mercantile life has had something to do with the depression which has been experienced in nearly every de partment of trade. CHOLERA. 1 cholera has been Tag ing in ML Vernon, IncL, for tome days past, and seems to be but little or no abatement as yet. Several new cases are reported every day. More than one half of the population of the town have left, and others are preparing to leave, unless a favora ble.'Lehange occurs immediately. There have been as high as ten in a family, carried. offby jthe , temple disease. Physicians and nurses from other" ' towns "" are arriving. those already there being worked down. s. . v . a i C EDUCATION AT THE SOUTH. :, The wisdom of George Peabody in setting apart certain funds, the in terest of which should be devoted to the encouragement of education at the South, is apparent The re port of the Peabody fund, shows that there is a deplorable lack of ed ucation at the South. Yet the dona tions made serve to arouse an inter est, and the sentiment in favor of education is slowly but steadly growing. It is quite evident, how ever, that at least a quarter of a cen tury will elapse before the standard of intelligence at the South will at all equal that of the Northern States. : DISCRIMINATION. The Pittsburg Gazette says the jftep-blicsns of Minnesota have been as fortunate in the construction of their platform as they were in the selection of their Gubernatorial can didate. They have fairly embodied the pith of the demands of the far mere, in a form not necessarily ob noxious ' to the ' railroad corpora tions. ' In place of the blind aboli tion of discriminations, of which Illinois furnishes an example, they have - declared, in favor of cheap transportation, according to the cap ital invested in railroads the right of reasonable remuneration, but op posing unjust discriminations and all arbitrars and improper - uses of the growing power of railroad and other corporations. They declare that no rights should be vested in railroad corporations beyond the power of future Legislatures. We commend this to the members of Constitutional Convention. The distinction between mere diserimin ations and over-charges can be read ily made, and easily provided Tor. This is done in the resolutions of the Minnesota Republicans. We do ot believe, for a moment, that there is any one so unreasonable as to require railroad companies to do business at a loss. . Nor is it desir ed that rates shall be so adjusted as to be uniform, those for short be ing the same as those for long dis tances, and competition kept up. If local freight rates put down to tbe same figure as through rates, loss ensues, which is -injustice 'to the railroads. If through rates are in creased, business will be lost, and local rates increased, which is an in jury both to railroads and people. But that every possible advantage shall be afforded local towns, con sistent with the . legitimate pros perity of the railroads, is right This should be strongly insisted upon. But all discrimination can not be abolished, .... HOW A COUNTRYMAN GOT EVEN WITH A NEW YORK SWINDLER. A gentleman from Ballstan, while at New York a lew days since, was picked up by a confidence operator. After walking around for some time with his newly made acquantance the latter suddenly recollected some important business and left him, Soon after he discovered that eighty dollars had been extracted from his pocket' .Judging' that his " new friend had been guilty of a "deed that was dark," he proceeded to de tect the perpetrator. About four hours afterward he met him peram bulating Broadway and approached him and greeting him heartly, say ing he had missed tbe morning train and was now going to wait for the evening boat He ' carelessly dis played another roll of bills and ask ed the gentleman to join him in kill ing time. They first proceeded to the hotel where tbe acqaintance was formed, when our Balstonfan polite ly told him to return at once the eighty dollars he bad borrowed or there would be developments not at all likely to be pleasant . , The pick pocket seeing the point, responded by saying "it was a joke,", aud re turned the money without asking a dividend. - . INCENDIARISM. The National Board of Fire . Un derwriters, st their late meeting in the City of Ne York, resolved to raise a fund of $100,000 for the de tection, conviction and punishment of parties engaged in the nefarious business or incediarism and arson. The Executive Committee Of that Board, at their meeting on May l4th 1873, carried out the resolution -and opened the subscription. - We hail this movement as a step in the right direction, and commend the action as one not only likely to benefit Underwriters, but also to protect the public from wholesale loss. This action is tbe more lm portant when it is remembered that the experience of the large com pan ies transacting the business of fire insurace in the United States shows that the proportion of loss to be at tributed to tbe above causes is not less than 33 per cent f the whole, or a loss to the country of at least twenty-five millions of dollars per annum.

The Judiciary Committee repor ted a resolution that the Standing Committee on Judiciary be charged with the duty of reporting a plan for the judicial apportionment Adopt ed. The Convention resolved itself in to Committee of the Whole on the Order of the Day, being the consid eration or the report of the Judicia ry Committee. Mr. Cunningham moved to infor mally pass tbe consideration of Sec tion 6 upon which the Convention was engaged at tbe time of adjourn ment and take up Section 7. Car ried. Mr.Cunningbam wanted to amend Section 7 so that Circuit Courts would have a. right to retry, before jury, civil cases arising in the courts below. It was claimed that Mr.Oun ningbam's amendment did not effect the above purpose Mediocrity flour ished supreme, and Messrs. Tattle and Powell led the opposing forces. After a two hours' fracas, a satisfac tory resolution to accom plish the purpose was got into shape, and last voted down. . , , , at The question was reconsidered and again debated. In this discus sion a strong feeling against second trials was developed, and the debate became able and interesting was not again reached before recess.

Constitutional Convention this morning. Petitions were presented by Mr. Watson from citizens of Huron county, Mr. Clark from citizens of Jefferson county and Mr. Coats from citizens of Union county against li censing liquor traffic and in favor of prohibition. By Mr. Voris From colored citi zens of Summit ceunty.praying that the words "negro" and "nigger," be prohibited by constitutional provis ion from being used in public docu ments and public school books. The committee of the whole re sumed consideration of the substi tute for Article 2' of the Constita tion relating to the judicial depart ment lhe pending question was the motion of Mr. Cunningham to so amend section seven as to pro vide that the Circuit Court "shall have appellate jurisdiction under such regulations as may be provid ed by law from inferior courts in all civil cases in which such inferior courts have original jurisdiction and in said court either party may demand a jury,' Mr. Grover advocated the amend ment as a means of securing clients from the effects of monstrous ver dicts, from which there would be no other remedy. The discussion was further con tinued by Messrs. Horton Pease and others. - ' Recess. AFTERNOON SESSION. Discussion was continued with out reaching a vote oh the motion pending at recess. Mr, Humphrey ville.from the Com mittee on Legislative Department, reported a proposition for a substi tute for article 2 of the Constitution relative to the- General Assembly. The essential changes are providing for annual sessions to commence on tbe first Wednesday in January biennial elections of members on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November; requiring a vote by yeas and nays of three-fourths of the members elected to either House to dispense with three reading bills giving the Governor qualified veto power as to all legislation ; requiring all items of appropriation bills to receive a separate vote of the majori ty of. each House, prohibiting all special legislation for any city,town or village or oth-r municipality: re quiring that the members of the Legislature be paid by salary. Mr. White, of Brown county .from tbe Committee on County ,and Town ship Organization, reported a sub stitute for article ten of the Consti tution. It leaves with the Legisla ture to provide what body shall per form the duties now performed by township trustees and county com missioners ; terms of township officers shall not exceed three years and county officers four years; the ob ject for which townships and coun ties may raise money by taxation are limited to constructing or re pairing public buildings, highways, bridges, ditches and drains; tbe ag gregate of such taxation within ten years shall not exceed five per cent of the taxable property. New Jersy people don't say "liar' right out but remark , "sir, you re mind me of my lamented brother, who could pervert truth with the greatest ease. -The Ohio State Journal, sneakinz of our new railroad, says that "contrac tors who now carry the mill by stuge coacnen, Hacks and psck-liorses.thronh the towns which are on tbe line of the Cleveland, Mt.

At that date mail trains will commence running on the new railroad, and Columbus will hive the benefit of another route,through rich and prosperous section of eouuti-y in full operation. The track is laid to a point within the corporation of Colum bus, and the work of establishing- com munication with the depot will be a short one. The track Is ballasted to a point four or five miles the other side of Sunbury, Delaware Co., a town about twenty miles from Columbus," Ml. iruoHjJtepuOltuan. THE BALLOON THE TO ENGLAND. Newspaper enterprise, -which is felt in all branches of human activ ity, these days, has at lost found an endless field for expansion in the revival of ballooning. Under the auspices of the New York Graphic, Professors Wise and Donaldson, two well known aeronauts, are short ly to attempt the feat of crossing the Atlantic in an air ship. The feasibilty of the trip, its chances of success, aud the scientinc truths that will bo- eavolved iberetey.are being widely discussed,bnt as far as we can observe, without reaching any definite conclusions as to eith er. Both of the balloonists are con fident of success in their undertak ing. They Hold toe tneory or a steady air current like the trade winds, at the height of a mile from the earth which moves steadily east wardtnd they expect by this to stike Great Britain or the continent of Europe in about forty-eight hours. This theory can be pretty well test ed by a trip. As to the scientific results that will flow from the expedition we confess we are not sanguine. The trip will be made too rapidly for ae rial observations of any value and it will take several voyages to satis factorily settle any theories as to the direction of tbe various air cur rents. In a practical aspect we can not see how any great good will l.-e accomplished even by the success of the present enterprise. A pros perous wind may in the one in stance waft the voyagers safely across the ocean, but that does not assure the- safety of those who fol low after. Until an air ship can be guided at will by tbe navigator, in stead of being at the mercy of the elements, balloon traveling will not be a popular or safe mode of tran sit The difficulties and dangers at tending the landing have not as yet been surmounted and the exceed ngly good chances of getting kill ed in the decent will not be risked by ordinary landsmen. Tbe commercial revolution that will be produced by the success of tbe Graphic enterprise will not prove incaculable, and we would ad vise Our "Granger" friends not to discontinue their efforts at railroad reform in the vain delusion that the railroad is about to be superceded by tbe Balloon. .Bon Voyage to the Graphic balloon. Clveland JjcaHcr. BLAMING THE NEEDLE. The compass will have to take the responsibility for the loss of the City of Washington. It is testified that there was stowed in the main hatch of the vessel sufficient ' steel rails to thrown the compasses out of all reasonable accuracy, and that the disaster was doubtless owing to the fact that tbe needles varied, and and there was no opportnnity in the thick weather to correct the reckon ing. As a professional question, an explanation which may justity the conduct of Captain Phillips in the opinions of nautical men, . they may do very well. But the public, who buy tickets to cross the ocean on steamships, will be satisfied with no such explanation, unless it shall be used as a warning to point out means of securing greater saiety in future. It a pile of steel rails or case of sewing machines stowed the main batch of a steamer so dis tracts the compass, then steamship companies who carry crowds of pas sengers have no right to carry steel rails or sewing machines on tbe same vessel with those passengers. : The few hundred dollars received for the freight of a pile of rails is no con sideration to be set up against the lives of four or five hundred passen gers. - If the steamers cannot com bine the freight and passenger traffic without bewildering the needle and making the ship tbe plaything, of chance, then the freight business ought to go to the walL At any rate metallic freight, which , would by its nature affect the , compass, should never be allowed to be, car ried in passenger steamships. The investigation may explain tbe cal amity but it cannot justify it. Steam ships do not run under full head up on rocky coasts in calm whether without showing that there was fault somewhere for which some one was to oiame.' ir it was tbe steel rails and the compass which wreck ed the City of Washington, then what has the lnman Steamship Com pany to say for having placed the rails and the binnacles in dangerous proximity?

WASHINGTON D. C., July 21, 1873. News has been received here from San Antonio, Texas, the headqnar tera of Gen. Augur, commanding the department that the Mexican General Escabedo was advancing to the Rio Grande at the head of a di vision. - What this means is not now known, but the natural infer ence is that such a movement ol large a body of troops must be with ujstile intent sad " so stirring in telligence may be looked for at al most any moment ' In fact it was stated to-day in sever al quarters that a Texas paper had been received here containing parti culais of a desperate engagement on the 4th of July between tbe Ameri can troops and a large detachment of Mexican and Kickapoo Indians. Our forces were said to have been victorious, but that Gen. Mackenzie was , killed. On inquiring of the war Department officials to-night they state that the department had as not yet received any such engage ment, and knew nothing more of it than the common rumor.
