DrEiNO the past two weeks considerable sickness has prevailed in Baltimore, conse quent upon persons eating freely of cherries. A large number of the afflicted, in an hour after indulging in cherries, have been seized with violent cramps, resembling very much an attack of cholera taorbuB.T Another fact connected with the cherries of Ibis season is that they are exceedingly wormy. Indian Commissioner Parkbr seems to be in very bad odor With a number of journals throughout the Very serious charges have been made in most positive terms against him in the administration of the affairs of his The charges should be closely examined into by the Government, as they are too direct and specifi to be per milted to go unnoticed, and it is simply due to him that their truth or falsity should be at once made known.

Selling Out. Negotiations have been, or will at once be, opened between the Democratic State Central Committee and the W. B. A. leaders for the sale and transfer of the entire vote of the Workingmen'a Benevolent Association to the Temortlo party 'at the next election.

Siney, Kealy and have always been expect to make a handsome thing out of the transaction, and we have the most reliable assurance that these Schuylkill leaders will realise at least $20, 000 each, and that some ot the local leadera of Hyde Park will also come In for a small margin ranging from $60 to $200 each. The incredulous may shake their headsj but we know whereof we Speak when we say that the Democratic party places its sole reliance for success at the next election in this State upon the purchwe of W. B. A. votes through the three leaders of the organisation, Siney, Keily and Parker.

In the main the W. B. A. composed of the right kind of material for barter and sale, and the leaders have for the past three years sold them in every suspension, and the rank and file have, never yet discovered it So says the Scranton Republican. Theodore Thomas as a McaicfAB.

The Tribune speaking of a recent benefit of Theodore Thomas, at a concert given at Central Park Garden by his unrivalled Orchestra, to whose performance oar citisens twice had the nleasure ol says The lover of art must have seen with unqualified pleasure that'tlie substantial recognition for which Mr. Thomas labored so long has rewarded him at last. For many years he expended his rare talents in the cause of music, with little or no acknowledgment save from a few of the more cultivated connoisseurs. But the populace has found him out at last, and all classes are now ready to do him honor. lie has not only 'succeeded in1 organizing fbe most per feet orchestra ever heard in America, but he has certain personal qualifications which, especially fit him for the place he now fills.

He is a thorough scientific musician, an accomplished artist, a man singularly well acquainted with all the best works alike of the old and the new composers, familiar with the labors of the active musicians of the day gifted not only with correct and tefiaed laste, but with great tact In choosing what his listeners wilt relish hating humbug des pising all the arts of notoriety always and ia all things conscientious. Then If r. Thomas has two other qualities which Americans never fail to honor. He is enterprising, and he is full of pluck. No great pieoe of orches tral musio is produced in Europe, bnt he has it before any one else In America.

The Phil harmonic Society spent a year in trying to get Rati 's new symphony and did not succeed: Mr.Tlioniftshas boen playing it this Inns time. new great March of Victory, wtitleu for the celebration of the re vived empire, and just publishod In LeipslOj was imported Immediately on. Its appearance. Mr. Thomas got It out of Ilia Custom House on Wednesday night and performed It on Thursday.

What courage and persistency he showed in keeping his orchestra, together while the publio was indificienl to his labors noo.t nntMV.

Sbottld (he policy of Free Trade, in its trae And terfset sense ever prevail in this says the New Rational Era, we shall nave either, become a nation ol agriculturists or the wages of labor will have been reduced toJheJBuropean standard, so that our manu facturers can compete with those of England apdJFrwce. Jta tkia case, cheap labor must serre the purpose a Protective Tariff Ofeourae pnr manufacturers cannot pay their employees $2 day and successfully compete with their foreign rivals, who pay their ope ratives fifty cents a day, unless the Government shall protect them by a proper system of duties on imports.

All classes must of necessity in that cue resort to agricultural pursuits, relying on England and other European nations for a market for their wheat, etc. But in this hope they will be sadly mistaken, even toil erl a greater extent than our wheat row have hitherto been, as a letter from an intelligent American gen tleman residing in Europe, to i a citizen of Chicago shows. He states with lute confidence that "in less than fifteen years Russia will be prepared to furnish all thb grain wanted on this side of the Atlantic. Sq if we call ourselves an agricultural people, mi must import the consumers for our tur plus or not produce it. It may all be very nice for our farmers to buy cheap calico and outer articles of no importance but when they begin to compete with Russia, at twenty ts a day for in producing wheat, they will find a home market more to their advantage.

All Russia wants is transporta tion, and she is constructing railroads very rapidly 1,000 miles the last year, and they expect to, increase that amount this year They are the only nation on this side who take a pride in imitating the Americans. A. Russian gentleman will say to you 'That is the way you do things in America, and we intend to do so, also, at the earliest possible BOLD ATTEMPT TO DISFRAN CHISE COLORED VOTERS. learn from the Carlisle Herald that the Democratic Commissioners of that county hjve sent out the assessment books to the as sessors giving instructions as follows: f'YoU WILL MAKE TWO LISTS OF TUE WHITE FREEMEN QUALIFIED VOTERS." and, further, "on application you will add to the list all white male persons," Ac. is no doubt the programme to be carried out in all Democratic counties, notwith standing the "new departure," and colored men are to be deprived of their votes.

The law on this subject is very plain, and we hope that the Republicans throughout the State will see that it is properly enforced. The following section of the act, approved April 1871, defines the duties of commissioners and assessors: so much of every act of Assembly as provides that only wluto treemen shall be entitled to vote or be registered voters, or as claiminar to vote at any general or special election of this Commonwealth, be andtdb SAWS 19 HEREBY REPEALED and that here after all freemen, without distinction cf COLOR, SHALL BE ENROLLED AND REGISTERED, according to the provisions of the Act approved April seventeenth, one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, entitled An Act further supplemental to the Act relative to the elections of this Commonwealth, and shall, when otherwise qualified, under existing laws, be entitled to vote at any general and special elections in this Common weallh. n. aiM of 1871, page 65. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The Trenton Gazette says "Tho Damo cratlc party Is bound to triumph in the next Presidential campaign if it lies within tbo province of hypocrisy, servility, and double dealing perfidy to achieve it." Thb Illinois Journal says of Yallandig ham: "As the great evils hepurposed doing came to naught, and all hts well laid plans were, frustrated, It were better to drawn vail over his misdeeds, and to try tore member, if possible, tlio bettor qualities of which he was possessed." Tna Toronto Leader says: "Tho treaty is not a document to bo dealt with after the fashion of party questions. Weighty mat tersof state hang npon the issue of its ac ceptance or rejection. The knowledge of this fact ought to induce here, as It dtd in the United States, and as it is doing in England, a calm discussion of its merits and demerits Instoad of the violent diatribes which characterize tho opposition offored to It." Thb Bangor TTAiVsaysi "Mr. Greeley, at the head of th Tribune, working with his wonted zeal for tho cause to which his life has been devoted, would be a power in the land whose influence nono could gain say; but Mr. Greeley, as an office seeker, cajoling Southern fire eaters with the praise of traitors and using his journal to oppose the Administration with no apparent pur pose except the advancement of his own political prospects, will command neither Influence nor support." Thb Louisville Courier Journal, after mature consideration, Is of opinion that the Southern Democrats wlll'aud ought to have their eay ia the next National Convention.

It has hope of the Bourbons "Why should they not become ardent disciples of the prevailing order of political thought, just as they have made themselves the organs of a prevailing tone of partisan prejudice and passion The natural tendency of a Dem ocratic party leador to accommodate Iris Views to that of the "prevailing" faction Is aptly set forth in the above sentence but what, after all, Is the "prevailing order of political thought" In Kentucky, if not the BouitenlcT Thb Chicago Tribune, In discussing the attitude of the Democratic party In the Northern and Wostorn states, makes a summary of the points upon which the De mocracy are striving to make an Issue. It derives them from the Iowa Domocratlo platform as follows: 1. Opposition to Congress interference In tbe local amtlra of the Ulster. 2 Universal Amnesty as a complement of Universal HiifTrage. 8, Opposition to the annexation of Banlo Domingo.

4. opposition tn Promotive Turin. ft, PayiuHntoftlinpnhllnriehtlii greenbacks. 8. Opposition to the Natlnual banking system.

It also warns tlio Republicans that it is not wise to laugh at tho New Departure, and reminds thorn that a change of three voters in enotj school district would transform tbe mluorlly Into a mnjority. I 1 Thb Philadelphia Evening Starmyn, "Col. Wflllam II. Maurice has promised to do what has never vet been done by any one in the' country, vii Recite from memory the Declaration of Indepondence, In Independence Square, on the Fourth of July." Thb hogs in Fulton county, Illinois, ai dying In Urge numbers of a new illseae which reteuibles the congestive chill in human beings. General and particular, An instrument has been invented that marks "the ebb of time," showing now many mlnates there are prior to any event If placed In the poatoffloe it reads "Malta open In thirty minutes one minute later it reads, "In twenty nine minutes," then In twenty eight and so on.

At a railway sta" tion it reads: "This train leaves in Un minutes," then in nine, and when the In dex reaches 0 the train starts. Thus, any passenger, on entering a knows ust how much time he has for getting tick ets, checks, a newspaper, and a seat, without consulting a watch or a clock to ascer tain the hour of the day. In New York city, after the first of July, dealers in kerosene are to be licensed by the Commissioners of the Fire Department. As showing the extent of the business in this oil in that city, it is stated that twenty three dealers In it have been found In one block. Only one, of them could afford to take out a license.

The competition was so great that some of them adulterated the oil tbey sold in order to undersell their neighbors, making It both unsafe and comparatively worthless. Nearly one tenth of all the fires In the cltyduring the past year arose from the use of dangerous kerosene, and if by regulating the trade life and property can be made any there will be reason to rejoice in the innovation. In the London dog show this year is ex hibited almasUff of abroad reputed to btjthe purest and Oldest of ascertained pedigree in England. It Is descended from ancestry said to have been in the possession ot Sir Percy Lelgh from whom the ancient fam ily, still seated in Cheshire, Leigh of Lyme, Is descended who In 1415 was saved, when lying apparently dead on the field of battle at his mastiff! wasthe price put npon this beast of noble lineage. Amongst other Interesting animals is Lady Emily Peel's (wife of Mr, Robert, and sis ter of tho Duohess of Wellington) Russian dog, whose parents were presented to her by Czar; a magnificent Cuban mastiff, bearing the scars received in a bear fight, and a live toy terrier, so precious that ho was exhibited under a glass case.

It is a curious fact that the Invention of that wonderful mechanical device, the riv eting machine, originated In a turn out or "strike" of the boiler makers in Mr. Fauv bairn's establishment at Manchester. On that occasion the attempt was made to rivet two plates together by compressing the red hot rivets in tho ordinary puncntng press. The success of experiment Imme diately lod to the construction of the origl nal machine, in which ihe movable die was forced upon the rlvot by a powerful lever, aetod upon by a cam. A short experience, however, proved the original maohlne in adequate to the numerous requirements of boiler making, aud improvements were therefore devised, through which the ma chine effects, by an almost Instantaneous pressure, what was performed in the ordi nary mode by a long series of impacts, A singular freak of lightning occurred at Newburyport, last week.

A lady while walking out during a thunder storm felt a shock of electricity which momentar ily numbed her, but, recovorlng almost In stantly, she continued her walk home. On arriving thereshe found that the lightning had actually struck a fold of her black ai paca dress, near the ground, where It was wet by the shower, and had scorched the edge of the fold and then leaped off to the wet ground. The burned piece of the dress was cut out and preserved as a onrioslty. The BiAotrlo fluid burned a streak about 8 inches in length, and on its edges the pecu liar zigzag course of the flash was as clear ly defined burned into the fabric as seen painted on a blaok cloud In a thundorstorm The surrounding cloth having been dry at the time of tho occurrence, and consequent ly a non conductor, was unhnrmed. But Your Coal Now.

To talk of laying in the winter stock of coal just before the sweltering heat of July does certainly appear, at first sight a little absurd. The Jlfmcrs' Journal makes out, however, a pretty good argument in favor of a partial adoption, at least, of this rather extraordinary precaution According to this authority, coal will not be lower this year than it is now selling fort and the chances are three to one that it will be higher, if pnrchascrs hold back any longer, The wealthy are accordingly entreated to commence laying in their stocks before leav ing for the watering places, and so prevent a panic which will entail much suffering on the poor who have to purchase from hand to mouth during the Winter season, Thb corner stone of the new State Capitol Building at Albany, New York, was laid on Saturday last with imposing masonic and military ceremonies.

Editor In an examine the papers of the lata Henry BpyJI the purpose of eoeapletlBg my contemplated "Annual Begitter of Bafilo Valley," I kmi many papers rich with information for a local History of Berks County daring tlie" period of the Revolution. Henry Spyker, moved to Lewisburg, Union county, in 1797, and died there In 1817 Shortly after his removal there he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, which office he held until his death. His famer, Peter Spyker, was President Judge of the Courts of BerksCounty during the Revolution. I saw many autograph letters of President Beed to him among the papers; one contained the names of all the Tories hen known in Berks, with an order for their arrest. He and his son seem to, have kuyt every scrap of paper they ever received.

Peter Spyker's commission as Justice under Qeorge the 2nd, 1753, is there, and his Dockets from that time on. There is set of German almanacs from 1746 down to the death of Jonathan Spyker, the grandson, a few years a single missing Papers illustrating local church history back to 1729, when Spyker, with Conrad Weiser, came to Tulpehocken, from New York, Henry Spyker was Adjutant of the regi ment that was at Long Island in August, 1776. His manuscript journal in pencil is there, and complete Hotter of the regiment, with tbe report of every guard mount ing while they were In service. 11 I copied some of the papers, and if you deem them of sufficient interest to publish, I will try to furnish them from time to time at present I offer you the Roster of the different Berks County regiments. i Respectfully, J.

A DisIioBorable aud Mean Act. For tbe Times aniSlspatoh. Mb. Editor i A dinner was given at the Mansion House to day to certain Wilmington gentlemen interested in tho building of the proposed Berks County Railroad, by tho friends of that road In this city. 1 Amid the universal congratulations exchanged on the auspicious future of this road, I observed, much to my sorrow, the effort to poison the minds of our Wilmington friends by the vilest slanders against your paper concerning its position on the question of building the road, and I thought I should be wanting in manliness were I to withhold the information from you.

The fellow who undertook this dirty business is well known in this community ss one capable of any mean act within the cate gory of depraved human nature one whose sold is ingrained with ruthless malignity, and who putties the dark, cunning, deceitful paths that are natural to such deformed and blunted Intellects. I was first apprised of this meanness by seversl of the guests ap proaching me in language something like this i "Well, sir, we were unaware nntil this morning that there Is a feeling of hostility to this road by some of the newspapers or your cily Inquiring what papers thoy meant, they answered, "tin Times and Dispatch." 'Oh I no I gentlemen, that is a mistake on tbe contrary, that piper has besn warmly be friending the project. To prove this, I will but refer you to a file of the papers near, at haud. After showing them at least half a dozen articles on the pibjeet, they iarned to me and said, "Why, howls title? That gen tlentan yonder (rjolntiag to their informant)' told as that that paper had been doing all it could against the raid, and that the very opposite is' true. 1 What could he have meant by deceiving us? Does he take us to be men that are easily duped I then informed them what kind of a man he was, when they replied: "Wellhe's a singular geniuB, but do you know," said one of them( "that he couldn't look me in the eye when he told me, and I became suspicious that there was something very wrong about htm," Vand," he continued, "I am very glad that I now know what kind of a fellow he is.

He was very officious here all day, and I thought he was one of your big guns, but now I am satisfied that he is a very small potato indeed." Now Mr. Editor, I have done my duty. Yon may do with this note whatever you please. It occurred to me that so mean an act should not be left to go nnnoticed. I am a subscriber to the stock of the new road, but I would like to Bee justice done on all sides, and hence I will not see you so causelessly misrep resented to ilrangersbji fellow who ought to know better, but who unfortunately, perhaps, has no other way of attracting attention among gentlemen by reason of a lamentable barrenness in his "upper Justice.

Reading, June 26, 1871. Soldiers' Blonnmsnt. For the Ti rues and Dispatch. Mb. Editor: I am glad to see the interest taken in the erection of a Soldiers' Monu ment, and have no doubt if the matter is pushed by those who take an interest in the project, we will soon have a monument that will be a credit to the city.

The proper place for such a monument would be in the Charles Evans Cemetery bnt as some of the soldiers and their friends are opposed to placing it there, the next best place in my opinion would be at the inter section of Fifth street and the Turnpike. This I think is the most desirable site in the city The monument would face tho new depot, and would be in full view of every passenger train entering and leaving the city, and would be seen by thousands of persons who would never see it if placed anywhere else. I don't want a monument, fountain, or anything else in Penn Square. I want that magnificent thoroughfare free of obstructions from the prison to the Penn street bridge. The suggestion of your correspondent Angele," in this morning's Times and Dispatch, is simply ridiculous, to say the least of it.

Imagine a monument, two or three fountains, a flower garden, a grove of magnificent trees, a lot of statuary, seats arranged in tiers filled with the aged and infirm, and ''four and twenty organ grinders, all in a row," sitting under the shadow of the monument, all crowded into a site forty feet square. That would be "crowding the mourners," with a vengeance. It is impossible to erect a monument, fountain, or anything else in Penn Square without obdtrncling the street, andf erected public opinion would demand its removal in less than five years. I am satisfied the site I have suggested (at the intersection of Fifth street and the tnrnpike) is the most desirable one in the city, and have no doubt that a majority of the soldiers and their friends will fully agree with me.
