Lancaster Jutelligencer. WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 7, 1867. FOR JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT: Hon.

GEORGE SHARSWOOD, of Phila. Death of Ex-Governor Porter. Ex-Governor David R. Porter died at his residence in Harrisburg yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, in the 79th year of his age. Thousands throughout Pennsylvania and elsewhere will (read this announcement with emotions of unfeigned sadness.

The deceased was one of the very few public men of the purer and better days of the Republic who had been spared to witness the exciting and revolutionary events through which our country is now struggling. During the greater portion of an active and useful life he was closely identified with all the public interests and the political welfare of his native State, and was as widely known throughout the Commonwealth as any of his cotemporaries in public life. To the last his interest in the public welfare continued to be unabated, and he was always ready to use his influence for the good of his State and country. Governor Porter was born in town, Montgomery county, in the year 1788, of distinguished parentage. His father, General Andrew Porter, commanded the artillery under General Wayne in the Revolution, and after the termination of that glorious struggle, served as the first Surveyor General of Pennsylvania.

George B. Porter, a brother of Ex-Governor Porter, held the office of Governor of Michigan, and another brother, James Madison Porter, was Secretary of War under President Tyler, and, for a number of years, judge of various courts in this State. Early in his life Governor Porter located in Huntingdon county, where he engaged in business. He held the office of Prothonotary of that county for nine years, and in 1834 was elected to represent that district in the Senate of Pennsylvania. His abilities as a Senator attracted marked attention, and in 1838 he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Governor and elected.

So satisfactorily to the people did he discharge the duties of his high office that he was renominated and re-elected in 1841, when he was succeeded by Francis R. Shunk. Gov. Porter was a fine writer, no great public speaker, but a man of superior intellect, sound judgment, iron will indomitable energy. During his governorship the disgraceful and terrible Know Nothing riots occurred in the city of Philadelphia.

Gov. Porter at once hastened to the scene of the disturbance. So great was the excitement that bitter threats were made against him by the rioters, in case he should make his appearance in the streets with the military. His friends in the city, being alarmed at the apparent danger, met the Governor at the foot of the old inclined plane with private carriages, and endeavored to induce him to leave the public conveyance and suffer them to conduct him into the city. This he peremptorily refused to do, telling his friends that if he was to die in the discharge of his duties he might as well be killed in the cars as elsewhere.

To his good management and unflinching personal courage the suppression of the riots was mainly due. He was a man who never shrunk from the discharge of any public duty, and in all respects was a model Governor. From the time of his retirement from the Gubernatorial Chair, Governor Porter persistently declined all nominations, though constantly taking a deep interest in public affairs. The Democracy of Pennsylvania always looked up to him as a safe counsellor, and they will feel that in his death they have lost one of that noble le a and heroic race of men who shed lustre on the history of the State. In private life Governor Porter was a most courteous and amiable gentleman, a warm and staunch friend, an honest man, commanding the warmest devotion of his many friends, and the respect and esteem of even his political enemies.

Peace to his ashes. Extraordinary Demand for State Tax. The York Gazette comes to us this week with a statement of a most extraordinary demand for tax made upon that county by the State authorities. It appears from the statement of the County Treasurer that he has long since paid in the full amount of State tax demanded by the Revenue Commissioners for the years 1866 and 1867. Yet a demand is now made for over $11,000 additional money.

The County Treasurer declines to pay until some explanation is made as to the matter. This thing following so closely upon the boasted repeal of the tax on real estate, is deserving of the closest scrutiny. That whole movement was a piece of fraud and cheating. We are desirous toknow what extraordinary demands have been made upon Lancaster county. Will the officials please to inform us? Let them publish such a statement as will be satisfactory to the already oppressed taxpayers of the county.

GENERAL SICKLES has postponed the August session of the North Carolina Legislature, and suspended all jury trials in that State, because the civil authorities have not revised the lists and made negroes jurors. That is a high move on the part of this cuckolded satrap, but it is of a piece with the Radical programme, which means not reconstruction or reunion, bui the enforcement of entire and perfect negre equality. How Rebel Prisoners Fared in Northera Prisons. It is not true that all the suffering endured by prisoners during the war was confined to our soldiers who were held captive at the South. Our own prisons were in many instances badly conducted.

The Argus, at Rock Island, Illinois, in a recent article, discloses that while the rebel prisoners were confined in the barracks at that point, it called public attention to the condition of these, prisoners, every time was met the reply that'its rebel sympathies made it unduly solicitous for the comfort of rebels. The Argus further truthfully says: "When we, by appeal- request of the commandant of the prison, ed to the public for donations of proper clothing for the unfortunate men who were sent in dead of winter, in box cars, with no fires, from Tennessee to Rock Island, many of whom died on the way, and all suffered most terribly, we were denounced by "loyal man for every sympathizing with rebels. When the on shameful course of the commandant another occasion, we denounced of the post and chief surgeon, who refused to furnish the rebels with vegetables, or permit them to purchase them with their own money, and thus brought the scurvy upon great number of them we met with the same treatment. But we followed the complaint to the authorities in Washington, on this subject, until an order was issued permitting the prisoners to buy vegetables, and the scurvy soon ceased." The Argus goes on to say that the prisoners were treated with shameful and unnecessary cruelty by those who had them in charge, though their sufferings were greatly mitigated by humane people who, even at the risk of being mobbed unfortunates "trooly loil," food furnished the with and clothing to a considerable extent. The Argus instances some of the inhumanities practiced as follows: 1.

The manner in which the prisoners were brought here was cruel and inhuman, the death of a large number of causing 2. They were sent here before suitable and, besides suffering prepared horribly, a number buildings for their reception, died from this cause. 3. Their money was taken from them and used as capital to carry on a profitable trade with them. 4.

They were not supplied with sufficient food, and clothing. 5. They were starved in the hospitals, and in the barracks, and one of the to by his associates permit says the head doctor declared when appealed. that he intended to starve them to death, in for the suffering of our men, in retaliation the South. 6.

They were cruelly and inhumanly punished, and numbers were shot down without the slightest provocation! The full particulars of the horrors there perpetrated never be known, though the graves of two thousand Confederates attest that the mortality was greater in proportion to the number confined than at Andersonville or any Southern prison. No wonder the bloodyminded men of the Rump shrank from an investigation Crosse Democrat. Gambling on Base Ball. The most curious and amusing of the many base ball contests that have occurred this year that which took place at Chicago a teas days since. The Excelsior club of that city, which has been fondly regarded by its citizens as the best in the country, has been fearfully beaten by the National, of Washington.

To add to the humiliation, the Washington club was beaten the day before by a rural club from Rockford, Northern Illinois. Itappears that a large number of heavy betters accompanied the National club, and invested all their spare money in bets with the Chicagonians. One of our Western exchanges estimates that the Washington party won a hundred thousand dollars, and that half as much more was taken out of the city by other betters. The Milwaukee Wisconsin says that one Milwaukean brought back two thousand dollars, another one thousand two hundred and others all the way from fifty to one thousand dollars. The Chicago people unwisely got into a rage, and made charges of jockeying against winning club, but these accusations were soon abandoned and a clean confession of defeat had to be made.

The match may be regarded as the culmination of the base ball mania, which has been so rapidly on the increase during the past year. The gambling accompaniments of this fine, athletic sport will we fear, cause it to sink into disrepute. Order of General Ord Relative to Remov. als and Elections. Brevet Major General E.

0. C. Ord, commanding the Fourth Military district, on the 29th ult, issued the following United States Congress having provided by special law for the organization of State governments on the basis of suffrage without regard to color, and having also provided for the removal of all officers who in any manner thwart or obstruct the execution of this law, and the duty of administering these laws in this military district having devolved upon the undersigned, all State a and municipal officers, of whatever degree or kind, are bereby notified that any attempts to render nugatory the action of Congress designed to promote. the better government of the States lately engaged in the rebellion, by speeches or demonstrations at public meetings in opposition thereto, will be deemed good and sufficient cause for their summary removal from office. The same prohibition in regard to speeches and demonstrations at public mettings will be strictly applied to all officers holding appointments from these headquarters, and existing orders prohibiting the interference of officers of the army in elections will be rigidly enforced in this district.

Kossuth Turned Up Again. The Atlantic cable brings the news that Louis Kossuth has been chosen, without a dissenting vote, to represent the city of Waitzen as a member of the Hungarian Diet. Now, Kossuth prides himself, like Lamartine in France, as being "a man of 1848," and consequently, as an extremist, must regard Deak, through whose instrumentality the actual reconciliation of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austrian Empire has been brought about, with even more bitter hatred than he regarded the Austrians themselves. He might, therefore, prove in the Hungarian Diet, were it not that he has probably lost all but the memory of his once powerful revolutionary prestige. Included in the recent amnesty to political exiles, he has returned to his native country, and his election as a member of the Diet is rather a compliment to him as having acted conspicuous part in the past than an earnest st of any influence which he is likely to exert as popular leader in the -N.

Y. Herald. As WILL be seen by a special telegram to the Philadelphia Ledger, which we publish elsewhere, Stanton refuses to resign. He belongs to that class of officeholders who never do such a thing -no, never. The pluck of President Johnson will now be put to the If he should hesitate to kick Stanton out, he will become an object of contempt.

'The Case of Secretary Stanton. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger following account of the President's request that Secretary Stanton should resign, and of the refusal of that official to do so: WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. For some weeks past, and until a day or so ago, no mention of the probable withdrawal of Mr. Stanton has been made in these despatches.

Your correspondent's essay on that subject, eight or nine months ago, when he informed you that the President had positively determined to remove Mr. Stanton and place Gen. Sherman in the War Department, temporarily to perform the duties of Secretary, to realized, as did one or two additiolled statements telegraphed by him on the same subject, and yet every word of my telegrams was true, and the statements therein set forth obtained from the highest authority. The facts were that Mr. Johnson, at the time mentioned, did resolve supplant Mr.

Stanton, and telegraphed Gen. Sherman, then off in the West, to come here. Gen. Sherman came accordingly, but until arrived here, was not advised of the purpose of his coming. Meantime, the telegram sent North announcing so positively that Mr.

Stanton was about to be displaced, arrested the attention of Messrs. Weed and Raymond, fast friends of Mr. Stanton, and at that time supposed to be friends and supporters of Mr. Johnson. These gentlemen came here and held a consultation with Mr.

Stanton, who informed them that he had no knowledge of the purposes of the President on the subject of his withdrawal. Messrs. Raymond then called upon Mr. Johnson, and urged him to give over his intention, if any he had, of removing Mr. Stanton.

These counsels and those of a certain high official President who gave joined up his them, purpose prevailed, for the and tithe being. From that time onward the intercourse between the President and Secretary of War, though respectful, has not been so cordial, nor so confidential as should be the relations between Executive and a member of his Cabinet. Recently, various matters have transpired, not however of a political character, which proved that it would be impossible for Mr. Stanton to get along harmoniously, and the former gave the latter indications, several times in the past three or four weeks, that he would be pleased to re ceive his resignation. No response came from Mr.

Stanton, and yesterday the President sent him a note, as mentioned in last night's despatches, stating substantially that public interests of moment constrain ed him to inform the Secretary that his resignation, as a member of the Cabinet, would be accepted. To-day, at about 11.45 o'clock, Mr. Johnson received a written reply, dated Aug. 5, from Mr. Stanton, who acknowledged the receipt of the note, recites the President's language, and adapting in part his words, says, public interests which have induced him to remain constrain him to continue in the Cabinet until the meeting of Congress.

Mr. Stanton was not present at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon. Under the tenure of office law Mr. Johnson is not fully satisfied that the Executive is clothed with power to remove Mr. Stanto ton, shall upon hold the their phraseology that the members offices respectively during the term of the President by whom they have been appointed," But, whatever may hereafter be his construction of this phraseology, he nevertheless regards the power to suspend as being ample under that law, and proposes to exercise it should it become necessary.

It is understood that the President will not recognize Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, and the latter will not therefore be permitted to sit in Cabinet session. Mr. Stanton was in consultation with Judge D. K.

Carter, Judge Pierrepont and others of his friends to-day," to determine what action he should take upon the President's request that the Secretary resign. F. F. The Case of Mrs. Surratt.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes: The recommendation for mercy for Mrs. Surratt, made by some of the members of the military commission which tried the assassination conspirators, has at last been unearthed, reads as follows: undersigned members of the military commission detailed to try Mary E. Surratt and others for the conspiracy and the murder of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, respectfully pray the President, in consideration of the sex and age of said Mary E. Surratt, if he can, upon all the facts in the case, find it consistent with his sense of duty to the country, to commute the sentence death which the Court have been constrained to pronounce to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. Respectfuily submitted.

D. Hunter, Major General, President; Aug. Kautz, Brigadier Brevet Major General; R. S. Foster, Brigadier and Brevet Major General; James A.

Ekin, Brevet Brigadier General; Chas. H. Tompkins, Brevet Colonel and Acting Quartermaster." The recommendation was drawn up by Hon. John A. Bingham, Judge Advocate, and the following members of the court refused to sign it: Generals Lew.

Wallace, A. P. Howe and T. M. Harris and Colonel D.

Glendenning. This recommendation is writted on a sheet of foolscap, which is joined to the sheet on which the approval of of the death sentence is signed by President Johnson. The recommendation to mercy, it has already been shown, never reached President Johnson. Strange Case of Insanity. The Rev.

Dr. Cookman, pastor of the Spring Garden Street Methodist Church, Philadelphia, has under his charge the Rev. Mr. Stockton, late a city missionary of Trenton, N. and his wite, both of whom are said have become insane by religious excitement attendant upon the camp meeting at Vineland, N.

J. The first indication of this was throwing of a set of false teeth from out of car window, on the passage the Vineland to Philadelphia. On Friday night last the couple were found in the streets of Philadelphia, and, on giving indications of their church association, they were taken to the residence of a friend, from which they escaped; after which they were again found in the streets and taken in charge by Dr. Cookman, Mrs. Stockton still remains in Philadelphia, but her husband has been placed in the Asylum at Trenton.

No Irish or Dutch Need Apply. Among the speakers at the late Rich- mond Radical convention was colored delegate from Lynchburg," who, according to the Whig (Radical organ), expressed his opposition to immigration, and didn't want the "Irish or Dutch" there, as they would shove the black man He wanted, too, that the lands should be divided, and that each colored man should have about forty acres. The negro evidently expects to have the land and the government of Virgina pretty much all to himself. A few New Englanders may be admitted to pecuniary and political fellowship with him, but no Irish" or Dutch" need apply for any share in property or the politics of the New Dominion. Daily News.

The Weather in July. According to a record kept at Newark, N. the month of July was neither so wet cold as generally supposed. The average rain fall in July for the twentyfour years previous was three inches and a half; this year it was inches and three-quarters. It rained on seventeen days.

The minimum temperature of the month was higher than that of twenty of the twenty-four preceding Julys, so that mean temperature was only between two The and first three degrees below the average. week was the warmest of the month, und with the exception of 1854, the 4th of July was the hottest for many years. How the Negro Vote Was Polled in nessee. The N. Y.

Herald published copious correspondence from different points in Tennessee showing how the negro vote was manipulated. From a Nashville letter we make the following extracts: The prompt, quiet and orderly manner in which the negroes attended the polls and deposited their votes seems to give a color of truth to the charges which are now made all over the State that nearly every negro who participated in the election had been thorougly drilled in this duty in the lodge rooms and conclaves of the loyal leagues. It is almost impossible to account otherwise for their perfect discipline throughout the day. There was no confusion whatever in their midst. They fell into line like soldiers marching by the flank kept their ranks closed in serried column; manifested no impatience at the delay, which was inseparable to the work, and step by step pressed into the polling place.

Each man had his registration paper and Brownlow ticket folded together. No one had to look for the proper ballot. Each seemed to have been provided with the little paper before he made appearance at the polls. If these charges be true, then the loyal league, as a secret political society, has been one of most remarkable success in the attainment of its objects. Know-Nothingism, in exerting an unseen influence upon the voter, was as nothing to it.

I will give you an account of a little incident which transpired within my own range of observation, illustrative of the fact that the negro was, in some instances at least, solemnly pledged in secret conclave to a certain duty on election day. One of the servants at a hotel in the city was known to be provided with allneedful certificate of registration, and it was proposed as a joke to test his fidelity. Accordingly a gentleman approached him, asked him if he wasso provided, and being answered in the affirmative, offered to pur chase it. No, massa; I couldn't take less than a thousand dollars for it." "Oh, that's too much," said the gentleman; "but I'll give you five hundred dollars for it." The darkey apparently considered the proposal a moment and then said: "No, I can't take less than a thousand dollars. It's wuff all of that." The gentleman renewed his offer and pressed its acceptance until at last the darkey, who seemed to be laboring under some mental quandary, if not remorse of conscience, broke out withcan't sell it, massa.

I solemnly swore on my bended knees to vote for Brownlow, and they told me if I broke my oath they'd send me to the penitentiary for a twelvemonth." The above fact actually occurred. Does it not show that the Loyal League was most thorough in its ramifications of the negro race and perfect in its control of the action ofthe colored man? The question naturally arises, what would have been the complexion of the vote cast throughout the State had the negro left uninfluenced. There can be no denial of the fact that the white employer, old white master, at least where he had the reputation of being humane and kind, could have diverted a large share of the negro vote to the conservative ticket, backed as he was by the exhortations of the colored stump speaker Williams, had it not been for the unswerving fidelity of the negro to his oath in the lodge room of the Loyal League. How would he have voted had there been no such restraint is an open question. Not that he would have proved treacherous en masse to the party which had made him a freedman, but the pro-slavery record of Brownlow would have sealed the fate of that candidate had the negre been at liberty to make a choice, and had there been a candidate in the field with a purer record on the combined scores of Unionsm and abolition.

The spirit in which the disfranchised bore their lot has wonderfully changed within the few hours that have succeeded eleclion. During the momentous they seemed to treat the matter as a good joke, rallied or condoled with each other on their deprivation, and few, very few, got excited enough to vent any spleen, openly, at least. The overwhelming vote for Brownlow and the solid contribution by the blacks have suddenly staggered them to a consciousness of the fact that their late slaves now indeed their political masters. Retaliation has commenced in the discharge of negroes from employment--a very foolish expedient at the best, and one that in its complications may lead to the most direful result. It is the old expedient of laming one leg to spite other.

The employer cannot do without the colored laborer, for it would be a physical impossibility to import the requisite labor to the present abundant crops of the State. An examination of the figures of the election shows some curious facts. The total vote polled was about 100,000 divided between 60,000 whites and 40,000 blacks. Every white man who voted had to prove his indisputable loyalty and Unionism before the certificate of registration was issued to him. Now Brownlow's majority is 30,000.

The inference is obvious. Even supposing that every colored man voted for him there must have been at least 30,000 Union men, who had been admitted to vote by his own commissioners of registration, who voted against him. Tornado and Hailstorm in Iowa. the Duquque (Iowa) Times August A tornado passed through Marion, Linn county, on the Dubuque Southwestern Railroad, yesterday afternoon, and wrought destruction largely. The wind seemed to proceed from a southwesterly direction, and was most furious ever known in that town.

commenced between two and three o'clock. Two houses were unroofed, and scores of chimneys were blown down. But the most serious damage was at the elevator, where the tornado became a whirlwind, which picked the building up, strong and immensely heavy though it was, and dashed it to pieces. Some of its heaviest timbers were carried a disiance of fifty yards. The main portion of the elevator fell across the railroad, necessitating the employment of a large force in order to clear the track in time for the train.

The elevator was built in 1864, and cost $6,000. Its loss will be severely felt by Marion and the farmers of the country tributary to it, as it was the only convenient building in the place for the storing and shipment of grain. Following the tornado there came another destroyer- terrific hailstorm. Its equal in fury and destructiveness has never been known in that region. It is estimated that fully one thousand panes of glass were broken by the hail in Marion alone.

The crops in the vicinity were damaged to a considerable extent, which is the worst feature of the storm. The hailstones were very large.

This speaks well for the honesty and economy of the Board, and is an evidence of faithfulness in the discharge of their duties which is highly creditable to them. Here are the figures: LABOR.

Several trucks on the hind cars were destroyed, and the two last cars very much injured. None of the passengers were hurt.

All were placed in the uninjured cars, and after a delay of about an hour the train was again started. Hon. James Buchanan was in one of the cars which suffered most. His numerous friends will be glad to learn that he escaped unharmed. SHAD DYING.

-The Wrightsville Star says: We learn that very many dead shad have lately been seen floating on the water above the dam, and others with scarcely life sufficient to propel their bodies, making their way down the river. We presume this will be considered sufficient evidence of the efficiency and success of the fish wier" placed in the dam during the past summer, and that our up river friends are much delighted with the prospects of having a plentiful supply of shad the next season. If they have, we rejoice with them, but to our mind it does not prove conclusively the success of this contrivance, as the means by which a more plentiful supply of the finny tribe may be obtained in the upper waters of our river. The many breaks in the dam afforded much better passages for fish, and which, when repaired, will somewhat curtail the supplies so gladly anticipated. BEHIND train due here at 10:10 this morning, going east, did not arrive up' to time of writing this, namely, 12 M.

It is supposed that some accident has occurred to prevent its arrival. Lumber: White Pine cut to order, $30 Selects or 1st Common, 55 Picks or 2nd Common, 40 LUMBER PRICES CURRENT. Marietta, Pa. Reported for the Intelligencer by W. H.
