Devereux was; unanimously elected chairman of the meeting, and the work was immediately begun. 1 The'discussion "was terse and'pracli- "cal, and the 3ifferent,subjects of grieve ance were carefully although rapidly treated. ' Unfair rebates and draw- , backs to patrons were, condemned.1 . ane creaiion ot a ooaruoi umpires iu decide ' upon disputes between the public and the railroads was also fa vored. The idea is to have an umpire or arbitrator at each of the different railroad centres, such as NewYork, Pittsbur5r,J Cleveland, Chicago, tin cinnatT St. ' Iiouis and elsewhere, vrhosoiiaty it- shall be to take testi- mon v. and. so iar as n may do in i. i t. n xneir power, w semeau ueanuus uu ; an equitable and inexpensive plan.

There illegitimate purpose, but it was essen tiaL that some, measures should be taken to protect the iuterests com- mitted to their care. President Jacob D. Cox, of the Toledo, Wabash and Western road, said that the meeting was called lesa, for the purpose of raising rates than of maintaining the present prices and providing .against the snicidal system or commissions, rebates, and draw backs,, which were in voue, and which drained the re- sou rces and V itality of the diff eren t ;j corporations, y.

We have now heard;; from two of the chief rivals for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1876. Mr. Blaine Bpoke in a long letter three weeks ago. , Mr. Morton delivered an elaborate sDcech three days since. mere are notewonny t points in tne utterances of each of these' ambitious- politicians. Mr. . Blaine -made' only the most remote reference to urant," but he vigorously opposed the . new reciprocity treaty with Canada which Grant has negotiated, and which is now pending before the Senate. Mr. Morton also denounced the treaty, out was .ratuer more specrac in nis references to Grant than Blaine bad been, though the only point on which he expressed -. conndenco m Grant" was the declaration that he knew of no foundation for the impression or rumor that Grant sympathizes with the Southern Democracy on the sub ject of the negro Civjil liights bill. Indeed, o . adroitly does JMortou hanrila this marter that he leaves it in I . . - . . . - . . . i doubt whether he is eulogizing, or threatening Grant, or whether his sole object in this part of his speech is not to, mace a bid Tor tne support ot tne neeroes and carpet-Daggers in nis struggle for the nomination for the Presidency. , t The stiakingTeaTure in tn.e.pe ances of these two men is the gingerly ' and almost contemptnous manner in which they treat Grant, lividently neither of them wishes to be regarded aa the Administration candidate for the succession. Not I unmindful of the powerful influence of the Federal patronage jor,( pawttiug. a luuuuiM Convention, these two shrewd leaders' doubtless see that two . years hence the officeholders candidate, will be particularly odious, and therefore they do not mean to place themselves in that position. ; In , a jword., wnila Blaine and Morton do not .declare open war on Grant, they. nevertheless tieem it expeuieit iio ae juj jhito.w do witn nim as possioie. , L In his manifesto Blame ; was more reticent and cautions than Morton.--The only .measures besides .tbo'rreci- procity Xreaty ' on , which, .rlaine ex- .I pended any breath ' was the tariff.' Bat Morton discourses at large upon the Civil Rights bill, taking the ground of the advanced wing of . the Republicans,-and upon currency, spe cie payments banking, railway trans- pbrtation 'and other so bjects, in which ne dntts witn tne prevailing? opinion of -the West and South. On the trans portation question he : speaks elabor ately and with the evident intent of trying to rally the Grangers to his standard. 1 - Thus far Blaine and Morton appear as the most formidable rivals for the Republican nomination; in 1876. -Tn whatever else they may blunder, ootn will show; their wisdom in continuing to repudiate the assistance of an Ad ministration which stains whatever it touches, and breaks down whomso ever it tries to build up. Beck, to tbe Grangers - Congressman James B. Beck of Kentucky made a speech to v the Grangers at a barbecue in nis Btate recentiv. when he took occasion to ?ive them this advice: "The Grang ers have it in their power, departing from their determination to exclude politics trotn tneir organ ization, to do the couutry more ser vice than they are, perhaps, aware of, simply by resolving.not to vote for any man for Congress or the State Legislatures who is in any way con nected with any of the great corpora tions or organizations which are seek ing special legislation or exclusive nrivileeres. It is impossible ' to. have just and honest legislation, State -or Federal, so long as representatives are sent who owe their election to, "or are personally interested in, . gteat moneyed corporations or monopolies no matter whether they call them selves Democratsor Republicans, they are not the representatives of the peo pie. thev are simply . the agents and attorneys of those who seek, by tax in 2 the mnssesi to enrich themselves, 1 whenever thev owe their election to i .. . , I terested in class legislation.w i uououuiii,o, ui o- msiuoviim Caviare or ffarae Tbier. , - ' - Bryan Power, ho stole the horso from Mr. A. 21; Abbott, near Klnston, wbo of- , 4r? r y"1 WI w lor bis apprehension, an account of which was published in the - ox&nui apru iom,; 'Was Captured DUDOay J night by Deputy Sheriff W.

St rack, by Lightning. A severe storm passed over this city yes terday, between 12 and 1 o'clock, during which a dwelling horise on Third, between Red Cross and Campbell streets, occupied by Mr. W. T. Newell, was struck by light ning. ... It appears that the electric fluid passed into the second story of the house where the gas pipe 'entered, shattering the plastering considerably in its course and passing through an open window on the op- posit side of the room. There were two ladies in the room at the time, Mrs.-Newell and, a jMisa Brooks, both of whom were badly shocked, .the latter remaining insensi ble for some minutes . from the severity of the concussion ' Gladstone and Disraeli. '; The Conflict between these first men in' English politics has been alike the cause of disappointment and mortifi cation: disappointment to all and mor tification to the triends of Mr. Glad stone. Moncure D. Conway,.in a late letter to the Cincinnati Commercial, says: "One of the most important features of the ecclesiastical debates that have been sbrung ubon Parliament one relating to the Established Church of' Scotland, the other to that of Eng land has been ah ominous announce ment by Mr. Gladstone that he" does not cans f or any established religion except sq far as it is established in the faith and feeling of the people, and that there is no page in his own ca- witn greater satisfaction than to his dises tablishment of the Irish Church. His mention of the disestablished Irish Church in connection with the Scotch' and English Churches can only be re garded as an . intimation tbat be is prepared, should things lend that way, to lead the .nonconformists in their great movement to place the Church of - England in the rank of mere sects. This has been the im pression which his words have made upon the country, and the practical effect upon. the state of parties will be something, immense. .. . ' ' . 1 he 1 tmes proclaims that , Glad stone's great speech was one of the most, 'destructive' ever uttered An Parliament, and leads , straight to. one result disestablishment. It also reads him out of : the Liberal party. And what the Times does vehemently iue papers mosi inenaiy to U lads tone formerly . do indirectly. The Tele- graph, formerly Gladstone's orgari, wmcn usea to , talk ot bim as the People's Wjrjiam. now sternly aban dons him j and even so does the News. The latter paper has in this matter been influenced, J suspect, by Samuel Morley, M. P., its chief proprietor, who represents the respectable common-place non-conformitism which likes to sink' differences hpi.ween itself and the evangelicals of the church. - However this mav he cer tain it is that Mr, Gladstone, bv basins? nis opposiuon ; to this anti-ritualistic i: , . . ' y : . movement in the , church thna fart on the lowest ecclesiastical ground, has failed to get a iesion from those in Parliament w.ho miaht have been moved by a demand Ihat the law should be applied impartially all around. -And the result is Lfikt'he finds that in embarrassing the Tories he has embarrassed his own party no less; and he will never again be able to lead a united Liberal party unless inai pany Bnan nave been recast. Mr. Gladstone s future as a political leaaer aepends upon his ability to lead the Radicals on a siege against the English churcha siege which will gather to him all tho ii;r.iitfi and Roman Catholics, jost as mub as the Radicals." - It is not surprising that the follow ing on dit should be found in the late xxnaon news: - "It is currently stated at vA Tn don Reform Club that Mr. Gladstone nay ing oeen iniormed by one of bis late colleagues that his sech' oil the church bill would seriously iujare his position as a leader of the Liberal party replied that he did not hope to lead the Liberal partv av;n at- snlelde Bmum She CoaiaB,, Co to a ; ' ' - aii. : .. ,-. ; -;. . j. vouutf Kin named l,rm grove aged 14 years, and residing at Moulton, in Barhngton county, n!j., committed suicide a few day ao by taRing laudanum because hcP mother would not permit her to goto adance in the neighborhood.

' The love story of Catherine Sedg wick, who wrote of euch ideal pas sions in her novels, forty and fifty years ago, has been for the first time given to the world in the columns of the Pittsburg Eagle. , Miss Sedgwick was the flower of a peculiarly intel lectual family, many of whose, mem bers won distinguished names in va rious fields,, and " Hope Leslie,'? with its successors, has rendered her place in American literature secure. Her home in Stockbridge, her . native place, where she died not many years ago, was long1 a social and intellectual " centre, and she was surrounded by most reverent friend ship and attention. A .singular ly even, placid life, hers seemed; and yet she had had her romance.' Her brother Toeodorc, son of the eminent J udgeof the same name was iaUy- acquaint ed with the brilliant. young writer, and an engagement followed. Mr, Beecher was one of the old Dutch families of the Knickerbocker city, a man of wealth, culture,land high character, but of colder and less impressionable nature than his be trothed. In his reading, therefore, the ardent affection sho portrayed be tween the lovers of her romances startled him. He stopped to ask him self if this were what he was expect-, ed to feel. TThe'rcult of his selfrex- ammation was a letter, telling her that : if the love she had so. viv idly depicted should - be , exacted from bim he felt that he could nev er respond to tbe demand; he could never feel so exalted a sentiment. And the engagement between Har mann Bleecker and Catharine Sedg wick was broken. Mr. Bleecker, in his subsequent residence in Holland, as Charge d' Affaires,- met a; young woman of ,the; country who married bim, then ; in, his old age,- and made him a faithful wife; their old mansion, spacious and overlooking the Hudson on one of the steep hills of Albany, stUL stands.

'' -' The following decisions were filed in the Supremi Court Saturday : -Larkin et al. vs. Murphy, Administra tor, from New Hanover, Reade J., delivering the opinion. Judgment reversed. This Court has found it impossible, to lay down any rule, to , govern all cases as to. the liability of administra tors and other fiduciaries,- who re ceived depreciated Confederate cur; rency. The nearest it could come to it was to say that it might be received before 1 863 and not ; after; and that 1863 was debatable ground. Every case- must, to a considerable " extent, be judged by its own surroundings. In this case the defendant badin his hands An ante bellum bond which was apparently well secured, and there was no necessity for collecting it; and yet he did.collect it, in part pay ments,, at different times in February, March, June - and 4 October, 18Q1, and in March, 1864. ' The Court say : " We are inclined to the opinion, that he ?ought to be "charged with .the whole amount because he converted a good security; into currency greatly depreciated, when there; was no"! ne ces8ity for it. And especially because he had reduced the security to. judg ment, ; which he might have ; leased and kept alive on the lands of tve b' ligors.? 'So it would seem that he is clearly liable for the whole sum if the lands were worth as much,' or else for the value of the land, if that was less than the amount of jthe. security." . , ,: . 1 j ; Edwards vs. - Thompson.'

Alleghany city is threatened with another serious danger as the result of the flood. Ihe ravine of Butcher's run is choked up for a distance of some two miles with the contents of the - destroyed slaughter-houses.. Great quantities of meat and a large number of bullocks, partially dressed, and more, than one hundred horses, with perhaps an occasional human ' being, lie imbedded in the mud. r' On Wednesday the sun came out hot and unobstructed, nd in a few hours there arose an awful . stench, almost insufferable to the working Dailies. The debris : will hardly be cleare.- away this .week, and if the weather continues hot it will be almost impos sible, to prevent the breaking out of pestilence, as the Butcher's run dis trict in the heart of a dense popula tion. , ;.uy -I.;: - : . : An AeedL Slethodlet Divine.

" , - The Next Presidential Strosse J ' T From Wilkes' Spiritl ! '.No previous Presidential election, it is probable, will compare with the next in its tremendous importance to humanity. . . It may change the future of America, which will be. to effect t the destiny of the world. All who love liberty must be sorry that the ; battle is compelled; but, unhappily, ; t here is no, way to avoid the issue. Our own belief is that the one-terp' t principle is essential to republicanism in America; and we hope that the final end of this irrepressible struggle 'nay be to establish it as a supreme princi ple of our Constitution. .
