"Thet wbo lie dowo w'.tb tie dogs
will get op with fleas," has beeo veri
fied in tbe case of General Ben Sut
ler, who baa just received nomina
tions for Governor of Massachusetts
from tbe Greenbackers and part ct
tbe Democracy of tbat State.
General Grant is daily expected
to arrive in San Francisco, and doubt
lees before this paper is received by
its readers, will bave again 6et foot
on his native land. Great prepara
tions are being made to give him a
fitting welcome. Tbe city is gaily
decorated. Salntes will be fired
from tbe forts in tbe harbor and bat'
terries on tbe hills. There will ba i
grand military and civic procession,
and all the bells in tbe city will be
rang. Tbe citizens irrespective of
party will cordially nnite in the pro
posed honors to tbe great eolcier.
Tue Convention which met in the
Court House, in Somerset on Tus
day, September ICtb, to make certain
changes in the system of nominating
candidates by tbe Republicans of
this county did its work expeditious
ly and welL Composed as it was of
representative men of the party,
there can be no doubt bat that it fuliy
and truly represents the wishes of
large mejority cf tbe Republican
voters. Tbe harmony, good will and
unanimity that characterized its each
and everv proceedic?, while u was
most gralifjing to all interested in
the chance, was an earnest of tbe
spirit that pervades our loyal old
county for purity of the ballot box
en honest rote, and an honest
count
Now that the rules have been
amended, let all good Republicans
set their faces like flint against every
attemnt to violate even the most
A
trivial of them. Not content with
passive acquiessence in their ad op
tion, Jet it be your duty to 6eo them
enforced in the spirit as well as in
the letter. With safe guards thrown
around the ballot box at too pri
maries, the shattered ranks will close
up, and the party united as in the
days of the past will again place
Somerset amonir tbe always reliable
Republican counties.
The City Wild With Excitement.
Speaking of tbe rent and torn con
dition of the Democratic party, with
out principles, and solid only in tbe
South, where the shot-gun and the
tissue ballot surpresses all expression
of opinion or of independent action,
the New York Herald, a journal
with well known Democratic proclivi
ties, talks out as follows :
For practical purposes the country
meet be regarded as divided into two
political parties and no more. On
tbe one hand there are the Republic
ans, possessing tbe administration of
the federal government, solidly unit-
ed, very ably led, and determined to
retain the power which they, have
held for eighteen years. Opposed to
them is a mob. Several parts of this
mob call themselves the Democratic
party; another part ranges itself
under the "National" banner; an
other part under tbe Greenback flag,
and still another shouts "Anti-mo-
nopolv." All these factions or frac
tions fight each other as moch as
they fight the common opponent;
and as though this were not enough,
in almost all tbe great and important
States, even the Democratic fraction
is eplit up into sub-fractions, all
bitterly quarreling for predominance.
In Massachusetts General Butler is
carrying off a large part of the Dem
ocrats, leaving the remainder in "tbe
air,"so to speak; in New York we need
not describe tbe situation which leads
each of the two factions to welcome
defeat rather than come to an under
standing with tbe party; in Penn
sylvania the Randall faction and the
Wallace faction; in Obh the Ewing
and the Tburman men; in Indiana
the McDonald and tbe Yoorhees
men, and so on all along tbe West
ern line ; each faction labors for the
defeat of the party rather than the
euccess of a rival.
No one expectea Gully, tbe Cbis
bolm murderer in .Mississippi, to be
convicted and punished, but the pub
lic was not prepared for his total
acqni t tl in the fa:e of the overwhelm
ing evidence adduced. Mrs. Chis
holm swore positively that she saw
Golly fire the gun tbat killed her
daughter Cornelia, and her evidence
was corroborated by tbat of the keep
er of tbe jail, the'attendiDg physician
and other witnesses. The case was
fairly tried before an honest and im
partial judge, the evidence was clear,
direct and positive, but it took the
jury less than half an hoar to decide
that no crime was committed. The
jury were fair specimens of the South
ern citizen, and did what they were
expected to do, and by their verdict
bave deliberately set at defiance the
law of the land. Hereafter no ciii
xen of Mississippi dare avow Repub
lican sentiments at the risk of being
murdered and Laving a verdict ren
dered of "served him right"
Speaking of the trial, tbe Phila
delphia Presg, says :
A baser or more cowardly murder
Tue Maine Legislature elect will
have in the Senate, 19 Republicans
12 Ureenbackera and Democrats

Tue official count in California

publican) has been defeated by Berry
(Democrat) by a few votes.
Nearly the whole amount of tbe
gold imported, which, up to Satur
day last reacted ? 22,000,1 . went
direct to the bands of merchants
The bills for cotton are not included
in these imports, andjthe calculation
now is that when these are drawn
for on Liverpool brokers, tbe imports
of gold will reach the enormous sum
of $50,000,000.
Thitv-three papers in Mississippi
applaud the murder of Dixon by
Barksdale and a larger number glory
in the acquital cf the murderer of
Cornelia Chisolm as tbe vindication
of an innocent man.
One of the results of Democratic
legislation is seen in the fact that the
loss to the revenue during July by
the redaction of the tobacco tax was
$759,877, and at the same rate the
loss for the year ending July 1,'ISSO,
will amount to about $9,000,000.
m ..
ih ere is a nice utile game going
on in Ohio, Lwin? tradinar off
rburman, and vice versa. This puts
the Democratic fight in a shape like
that of the Kilkenny cats. Bat what
will it all matter in the end ? The
Republicans in the Bockeye'have as
sure a thing of it as their brethren in
the Keystone State.
Tue Maine Legislature has a Re
publican majority of thirty-seven on
joint ballot The Senate bas 19
Republicans to 12 Opposition, and in
tbe House, 90 Republicans to CO
Opposition. In tbe town of Canaan
1 A a t
wnicn gave a neavy opposition ma
jority, the poll is twenty-three in ex
cess of the registry list. II this poll
is purged it will add one to the Re
publican Senators.
Tue Democrats are overburdened
with family quarrels. In Ohio, Tbur
man, Eewing and Pendleton are cut
ting one another's throats. In New
York Tilden and Kelly are clinched
in a death struggle ; and in Massa
cnusetts, Butler is likely to capture
bodily a large portion of the camp,
leaving a small minority powerless
to do anything except to make faces
at him. In Pennsylvania, Wallace
is fighting Tilden and Randall ; and
so it goes.

dispatch has been received here from
Havana to the effect that tbe slaves
of Cienfaegos, Cinco Yilas, Caba,
bave risen in rebellion against tbe
Spaniards, and bave joined the patri
ots, taking with them a large propor
tion of their masters' cattle. There
is great inaignation in Cuba over

who served in the last Cuban revolo
tion on tbe patriot 6ide, but had of
late been residing in different places
and following their different avoca
tions. Upon their past records tbey
were suspected of being in sympathy
with the present revolution. Some
were killed in their homes before
their wires' and children's eyes by
Spanish troops, and others were tak
en into the woods and slaughtered.

It was brutal in the extreme, and

which could lend horror to the re

death of his daughter Cornelia, as
she threw herself between tbe mob
and her father and received in her
person the bullets intended for him,
is upon tbe page of either fact or fic
tion. The proof was direct and cir
cumstantial. The facts were public
and notorious. For two years trial
was delayed. It was finally forced
by the pressure of an outraged public
opinion. It has been held, and th

receive me news witn surprise
Southern society, in the semi-barbar
ous condition surrounding it, lightly
regards human life. This is one of
the relics of the brutalizing influence
of slavery. But if there be no law
of conscience which calls for the
punishment of deliberate and vindic
live murder at the hands of the law,
how can conviction fcr a political
murder be expected when the man
wbo was killed was necessarily kill
ed in order that Kemper county
might be solid for tbe Democratic
party, and tbat terror of like fate
might deter other Republicans from
interfering in political movements
This record is a horrible one. It
portrays, as few other things could
the debauched elements which make
up Southern social and political life,
and prove them both to be lacking in
every requisite tor their cohesion an
preservation. Suchcomm unities are
unfit to have in their bands tbe
enginery of free iot...uiiona. Tbey
deserve tbe iron Land and ruthless
heel cf a hard, but jast, task-master.
Wben, in the providence of God, may
such fearful wrongs be avenged?
San Fraxcisco, September 20
The first tap of the bell and hoisting
of tbe flag on the Merchants' Ex
chance, announcing the approach of
tbe City cf Tokio, startled the city
from tbe poeli of suspense tbat has
lasted three days, and transformed
tbe idle throng that were lounging
about tbe sirttts into excited and
hurrying crowc Tbe bells are ring
ing, steam whittles screaming, and
the thunder of canncus reverberating
over tbe hills and harbor. Thous
ands of men, womeu and children, on

in tbe uiciaity, eager to eaten the
first glimpse of the incoming ship,
bearing tne guest for wbese recep
tion such great preparations have
been made and whose arrival has
been so anxiously anticipated.
Crowds are hurrying toward the
wharves where tbe steamers and
yachts tbat will take part in tbe
nautical pageant are lying.
At the moment tbe alarm giving
notice of tbe approach of the City of
Tokio was struck, the Executive
Committee having charge of tbe
demonstration were in session at the
Palace Hotel, warmly discussing tbe
question of carrying ont the pro
gramme to-worrow in case of the
steamer's arrival in time, or defer
ring until Monday. The first stroke
of the bell ended the discussion. It
was three-quarters of an hour later
than the limit that had been previ
ously determined on, but it was at
once resolved to carry out tbe demon
stration immediately.

Tbe impatient crowds that cover
ed tbe hill tops stood straining their
eyes to catch tbe first glimpse of the
Tokio. A hondred times the cry
was raised : "There she comes," as
chance arrivals came in view be
tween the Heads. It was half-past
fire o'clock when a puff of white
smoke from seaward, from off tbe
earthworks back of and above Fort
Point and the booming of a heavy
cannon announced that the steamer
was near at hand. Another and
another followed in rapid succession
Fort Point next joined in cannonade
tiring, with both casemate and bar
bette guns, and the battery at Lime
Point added its thunders to the voice
of welcome.
In a few moments tbe entrance to
the harbor was veiled in wreaths of
smoke, and as the batteries of Angel
Island, Black Point and Alcatraz
opened fire in succession, the whole
channel was soon sbroaded in clouds
from their rapid discharges. For
some time the position t f the ap
proaching ship could not be discern
ed ; but shortly before six o'clock tbe
outlines of the huge bull of tbe City
of Tokio loomed through the obscuri
tj of smoke and rapidly approaching
shades of evening, lit up by flashes of
guns, and in a few moments 6he gh'
ded into full view, surrounded by i
fleet of steamers and tugs, gay with
flags, and crowded with guests, while
the yacht squadron brought up tbe

The United States steamer Monte
rev. lving in tbe stream, added the
roar of her gous to the general wel
come and tne screaming of hundreds
of steam whistles announced that the
City of Tokio had reached her an
chorage, the crowds that had as
sembled on the hill and along the city
now with common impulse began to
poor along toward the ferry landing,
at tbe foot ot Market street, where
the General was to land. The side
walks were blocked with hurrying
pedestrians and tbe streets with car
riages conveying tbe committees.
Steamers and yachts made haste to
load their passengers, and in a few
minutes the vicinity of tbe ferry land
ing was literally jammed with people
extending for blocks along Market
street and the water front Jast in
front of the landing, the entrances to
which were closed and gnarded, a
space was cleared by tbe police and
marshals, in which hundreds ot car
riages for the use of the guests were
crowded, and outside of tbat line af
ter line of troops and civic organiza
t'ons were arranged, while outside,
constantly increasing crowds surged
and pressed, excited and enthusiastic
ally cheering at intervals, and wait
ing impatiently for a first glimpse of
tbe city's honored guset.
Within the gates of the ferry house
were assembled tbe gentlemen cbarg

In tbe meantime General Grant
and bis party on tbe Tokio, together
with tbe Keception Committee, Gen

bad been transferred to the ferry
steamer Uakland. Considerable de

outside cheered and ehonted them

Darkness had fallen, and it was 20
minutes past seven wben the lights
of tbe ferryboat were seen approach

and amid roars of applause from tbe

tbat the moment had arrived, General
Grant stepped once more upon tbe

flamable material which was stored
in the unncr, floors was soon ia- full
blaze. The fire originated in tbe sec
ond story of tbe building, and soon
ran up tbe roof. A second and third
alarm wrrs sounded, and all tbe
available water was utilized by tbe
steamers. Tbe streets which sur
rounded tbe square in which tbe
burning bcilding stood were alive
with spec ators, and tbe hose from
the engiLCrf lay on the pavement in a
net-work, like pipe lines near a tank
ing static a ia the oil region. Engines
were at .rk on Smithfield, Wood
and Lib, ty streets and on Sixth av
enoe, and uine or ten streams were
brought to bear on the flames. As
matter of coarse some of the old hose
maintained its reputation by bursting
in several places. It was at least an
hour before tbe flames were under
control, aud not until one o'clock
could tbe firemen leave tbe ruins in
safetv to tne care of but one engine.
The building where the fire originat
ed suffered the most though tbe next
one. No. 2GS, was somewhat dam
aged in tbe roof. On the other side
is the Seventh Avenue Hotel, which
did cot Buffer. No. 2CS is unocca

ouly to the building. Nos. 2GC and
2G4 were also damaged somewhat by
water. Messrs. F. W. Jenkins

fourth floor front and third floor back
which au used by Jeee II. Lippin

ia the room at a tim-J. Members of
Congress take their turn at talking to
the President in the order in which
they enter the room, keeping tally
themselves. Tbo President indicates
to the others when he is ready to
hear them. Tbe interviews are short
or long, generally the former, Wben
the President desires to consult with
out interruption with callers they re
tire to tbe library adjoining. Tbe
President positively refuses to hear
applications for minor places in the
departments. Tbey are all referred
to the heads of tbe departments as
he has made it a rule never to inter
fere with business tbat entirely be
longs to the several departments
Tbe people he receives up to half
past two in the afternoon and tbey
average each day about two hundred.
As a general rqle each caller is on
different business. Delegations
sometimes take eight or ten in on the
same mission except Baltimore del
egations which split up when they
get before the President and each
man nrges separate candidates. The
number of people wbo call to pay re
spects and shake hands is great and
growing. Tbey mumble something,
seize the President's bauds and de
part It is great thing for tbe princi
pals of female seminaries in tbe ad
joining states to bring on to Wash
ington whole batteries of beauty and
brier; them to bear on tbe President
Bridal parties are quite numerous.
Sometimes they announce to the
resident that tbey are newly marri
ed, but whether they do or not that
fact is perfectly apparent Wben do
attempt at the concealment of their
happiness is made, tbe President pre
sents tbe blooming blusoing bride
witb flower from the large fragrant
boquet which is always on the tabla.
When concealment is intended he
looks unconscious while the tbe
room. Tbere are frequently as many
as five hundred people ia one of these
excursions Tbe Member of Con
gress whose constituent tbey are, ar
range witb the President for their re
ception. He sets them in line, and
as they file by tbe President, tbe
member introduces each one and
makes lots of votes for tbe next time
There is something peculiar about
this shaking hands with the Presi
dent of tbe United States, and tbere
are peculiar ways of going through
the greeting, borne folks seize the
President's hand in both ofihc-iis;
others merely touch the lips of bis
fingers; some grab bim aove tie
wrist, and then others thiak the hard
er they press the band tbe greater is
the honor tbey enjoy. Tht old la
dies alway atop to ask bow Mrs
Hayes is, and whea Mrs. Hayes as
sists the reception, all the ladies, both
old and young, invariably lookback
after pissing to tee wbat she bason
lbe old men want to add a word or
two of advice on political manage
ment as tbey patt, and tbe young
man, wben from the rural parts, tries
to appear as it bo made a practice of
being introduced to Presidents every
day.
