Ccly method by which, ill our republic, the C-edress of political and social gnevanoes is to be (aught, we especially call for such change! In our elective methods aa shall lessen the need of money in elections, discourage bribery and prevent intimidation." There is not the least prospect of the SyraiDane gathering being a "unanimous" or machine oonvention,'and the question of the admission or rejection of the Socialists will give rise to a geod deal of discussion. Last Saturday there was a caucus of the Socialists, both in and outside of the Socialistic Labor party delegates to Syracuse and their advisers. It was then determined to fro to the convention and claim admission. An appeal was prepared in whioh the position of the Socialists was stated. They deny that they sure a political party, in the meaning of the term, and that they have attacked the platform of the United Labor party, or attempted to force their doctrines on the party. They claim that the Socialistic Labor party bears the saage relation to the United Ixibor party that th» Abolitionists did to the Republican party. GLADSTONE'S VICTOliY INCREASING THE LIST.

Nothing helping toward her identity has been discovered. The injured in this city at private houses and in the hospitals are all doing well. The condition of Adam Shamberger, which was regarded as critical, is more favorable, and it is now believed he may recover. A number , bf unclaimed articles, such as boots, coats,\ rests, etc., blood stained and bearing evidtl Ice of the scene, are on public exmoition at the depot in this city, and fill a room about twenty feet square. The neme of Asareth Gale, of Orange Prairie, should be added to the list of dead, as it has never figured in any published list, probably owing to the fact that the body was brought back by his friends on an early train on the morning of the catastrophe. It is believed that a good many bodies were taken off by friends in the same way, and that the list of the dead should number several names more than it does.

It has a much greater moral force than is apparent from the gain of 1,837 votes as compared with the last previous election in that district, and the changing of Mr. BrunnerV minority of 601 then to a majority of 1,1% now. Newport, Aug. 16.—At 9 o'clock yesterday morning a steady breeas was blowing dl Vineyard Haven, and all fears of a postponement of the race were removed. The race for second class sloopa was abandoned, leaving only the Volunteer, Mayflower and Puritan to compete for the prise offered by the citizens of Providence. A large crowd en shore and on board excursion steamers witnessed the start, which was as follows: Mayflower, 10:01:14; Sadhem, 10:01:44; Volunteer, 10:01:48; Magfc, 10:03:22; Halcyon, 10:03:45; Puritan, 10:03:55; Norseman, 10:04:20; Palmer, 10:06:2a.

The duke made every effort to secure the suooees of his son, the young Lord Grosvenor, but so strong is the undercurrent of popular dissatisfaction with the party in oontrol of the government, that even the powerful influence of the richest noblaman and most extensive landlord of the kingdom was unavailing against it. Only those who know the secret potency of such influence can properly estimate the importance of the result. Both the Gladstonian and Tory leaders realiio it fully, and the former are correspondingly elated and the latter as greatly depressed. For if in such a district a gain of 20 |«r cent, can be made, it is considered beyond a doubt that, taking the whole country through, a change of at least equal magnitude has taken place. This is a moderate estimate, yet it is sufficieut to give a clean sweep of the country to the Gladstonians at the next election, if nothing occurs to mar their present standing in the popular esteem. A PHILADELPHIA SENSATION. All the yachts stood on the port tack with a splendid breeze Ailing their sails. At the end of a mile the Volunteer passed the Mayflower, with the Puritan rapidly oloelng the gap. Half an hour from the start the wind was blowing ten knots aa hour, in which the Volunteer was sailing splendidly and mate taining her lead. The Sachem Ml her class well with the Magic next At 10:39 the Volunteer changed to a windward tack, which the others adopted soon after. At 10:55 the Volunteer resumed her port tack, which she held until 11 o'clock, when she was turned again to avoid the strong tides in Lambert's cove. Some lively skirmishing was going on between the Mayflower and Puritan, which ended in the latter overhauling and passing her rival at 11:16. The Volunteer was then a mile alx&d of both of them. Emit Schoenberg Reported to be a Forger Chatsworth, Ills., Aug. 16.—Mr. Stillwell, of West Point, Ind., who was injured in the wreck died at Piper City yesterday morning. Frank Taylor, a young man from Macomb, whose leg has been amputated, is so low that he Is not expected to live more than a few hours. for •800,000. Philadelphia, Aug. 16.—The startling statement is made that Emil Schoenbe'-g, who has for some time been supposed to be a partner of John F. Bete, the millionaire iirewer, is a forger to a large amount. Schoenberg was supposed to have been associated with Mr. Bets in the construction of a new opera house in the northwestern part of the city, and was, aa a holder of stock to the imount of $125,000, made the president at the Qermania Brewing company, a new corporation.Mr. Bets says that no such firm as Bete & Scboenborg ever existed, and that he will take measures to have Schoenberg brought back to th« city. He authorizes the statement that when the Qermania brewery was projectwl be went into it aa a stockholder, and Sclioenberg also took $135,000 of stock. Schoenberg did not have this amount X cash, and therefore he borrowed the money from several banks in this city, giving as security a variety of paper, whioh was then thought to be good, but it has since transpired that the signatures and indorsements upon some of the paper were placed there by others than the rightful owners. Mr. Bets' name was upon some of it, both as treasurer of the Oermania Brewing company and as an individual indorser of t£e notes. The name of S. R. Nestor, the malster of Geneva, N. Y., also appears upon some of the paper without his consent Out TIC AS. Jt aOolkor4 1baforl 00 K. W. Armstrong, superintendent and John S. Stevens, attorney of the Toledo, Peoria and Western, visited Piper City yesterday njorning, stopping at the ruins of the wreck and questioning the section men employed there. They left there for Peoria at noon, but returned to be present at the coroner's inquest, which was resumed this afternoon. Mr. Armstrong said that he did not place any reliance on the reported arrest of two men at Kentland, Ind., for Buspected complicity in causing the disaster. He had not been informed of anything of the kind. Mr. Stevens said if the men had been arrested it had been without the knowledge or orders of the company, and probably because they were suspicious characters, and might have had property on their persons which the local authorities supposed might have been stolen from the wreck.

MarlSe (ntelllgeaea. The Volunteer had gained on her rivals all along by pointing closer into the wW, but she still showed better speed. Stat aad the Puritan had the advantage of the Mayflower in being able to hug oloeer to the wind and in gaining one long port tack. The Mayflower kept dropping to lea ward from Gayhead to the finish, and she was so far in the bay at Quickshole that an extra windward tack was necessary to put ber on a straight course. The Volunteer passed Cuttyhunk light at 12:18:80, the Puritan at 12:28:15, with the Saofaem and Mayflower far in the rear. Tlie conciliatory spirit lately shown by Mr. Gladstone in regard to concessions on the home rule question has undoubtedly had a good effect, and it is difficult to see what argument the Tories and Unionists can bring forward in the campaign that is likely to lie of much cffect in stemming the tide which has set in in fevor of the Groiid Old Man. what they want and can put their deairaa into plain English.

L. M. Curry, United States minister to B)Dain, in reply to the editor's request for information as to the attitude of Spain toward the celebration of the fourth centennial of the discovery of America by Columbus. Mr. Curry says that the queen regent in a personal interview, on July 15, assured him of her Interest in the subject, and on the same day he received from the minister of state a communication to the same effect, stating that the government had been for some time engaged in preparing the means for celebrating the event The council of ministers has examined the question, and consulted with the Duke of Veragua, the heir and most legitimate representative of Columbus, as to the means most adequate for the object. The programme cannot yet be given, but it is announced that Spain will take the initiative in celebrating in a most solemn manner the cmtenary, and that for this purpose it will invite all the nations who people the territory discovered by Columbus to take part in the celebration. Boston, Aug. 16.—Professional bagging pays in this city, at least. On* beggar who has jast died at the City hospital left «7,500 hidden away in her lodging plaMt and officers are now searching for about C20,000 more which it is believed she possessed. Col. Majitidie, chief inspector of explosives, declared that the satchel of the woman til-rested at Cowea ou suspicion of having dyuamite in her possession contained, not dynamite, but some specimen* of modeling in clay, which the officer mistook for something of a more dangerous nature. The over diligence of the police as exemplified in this instance indicates the prevalence among them of a littent dynamite scare, which the slightest provocation to suspicion awakens to activity. As far as the investigation has been carried Mr. Schoenberd'i indebtedness has been shown to be about $300,000, and his assets about $125,000. Mr. Bets's loss will be $150,- 000, Mr. Nestor's about 19,000, David M Stewart's about $15,000, E. F. Pulterer, $7,000, and Brewer Yuengling, of New York, about $5,000.

HOPELESSLY INSANE, The Bulgarian situation will probably undergo do change until Prince Ferdinand reaches Sofia, when something decisive will be looked for. At present all of the powers concerned remain entirely passive, but the slightest approach toward defiance exhibited iu the proclamations of the prince after his arrival at the capital,* course the youth and lack of tact of the new ruler is likely to lead him to take, will bring the Russian bear down upon him in a hurry. The mission of Artin Effendi as Turkish commissioner to Bulgaria in place of Riza Pasha is merely tentative, but the change is favorably received by the powers, and it is thought that he may in a great degree influence Prince Ferdinand to restrain his tendency to issue grandiose addressos and fulminating proclamations. The following yachts are entered in the race for the Newport Citizen's cup: Volunteer, Mayflower, Puritan, Sachem, Phantom, Cinderella, Magic, Resolute, Bertie,. Mischief, Oracle and Fanita.

We shall wait until we get to Syracuse." The leaders, as a rule, are more anxious to aee their principles prevail than they are to ase certain offices filled with their friends, although those nominated must be without reproach in the eyes of the workingmen.

There is not the least prospect of the SyraiDane gathering being a "unanimous" or machine oonvention,'and the question of the admission or rejection of the Socialists will give rise to a geod deal of discussion. Last Saturday there was a caucus of the Socialists, both in and outside of the Socialistic Labor party delegates to Syracuse and their advisers. It was then determined to fro to the convention and claim admission. An appeal was prepared in whioh the position of the Socialists was stated. They deny that they sure a political party, in the meaning of the term, and that they have attacked the platform of the United Labor party, or attempted to force their doctrines on the party. They claim that the Socialistic Labor party bears the saage relation to the United Ixibor party that th» Abolitionists did to the Republican party. GLADSTONE'S VICTOliY INCREASING THE LIST.

Nothing helping toward her identity has been discovered. The injured in this city at private houses and in the hospitals are all doing well. The condition of Adam Shamberger, which was regarded as critical, is more favorable, and it is now believed he may recover. A number , bf unclaimed articles, such as boots, coats,\ rests, etc., blood stained and bearing evidtl Ice of the scene, are on public exmoition at the depot in this city, and fill a room about twenty feet square. The neme of Asareth Gale, of Orange Prairie, should be added to the list of dead, as it has never figured in any published list, probably owing to the fact that the body was brought back by his friends on an early train on the morning of the catastrophe. It is believed that a good many bodies were taken off by friends in the same way, and that the list of the dead should number several names more than it does.

Newport, Aug. 16.—At 9 o'clock yesterday morning a steady breeas was blowing dl Vineyard Haven, and all fears of a postponement of the race were removed. The race for second class sloopa was abandoned, leaving only the Volunteer, Mayflower and Puritan to compete for the prise offered by the citizens of Providence. A large crowd en shore and on board excursion steamers witnessed the start, which was as follows: Mayflower, 10:01:14; Sadhem, 10:01:44; Volunteer, 10:01:48; Magfc, 10:03:22; Halcyon, 10:03:45; Puritan, 10:03:55; Norseman, 10:04:20; Palmer, 10:06:2a.

The duke made every effort to secure the suooees of his son, the young Lord Grosvenor, but so strong is the undercurrent of popular dissatisfaction with the party in oontrol of the government, that even the powerful influence of the richest noblaman and most extensive landlord of the kingdom was unavailing against it. Only those who know the secret potency of such influence can properly estimate the importance of the result. Both the Gladstonian and Tory leaders realiio it fully, and the former are correspondingly elated and the latter as greatly depressed. For if in such a district a gain of 20 |«r cent, can be made, it is considered beyond a doubt that, taking the whole country through, a change of at least equal magnitude has taken place. This is a moderate estimate, yet it is sufficieut to give a clean sweep of the country to the Gladstonians at the next election, if nothing occurs to mar their present standing in the popular esteem. A PHILADELPHIA SENSATION. All the yachts stood on the port tack with a splendid breeze Ailing their sails. At the end of a mile the Volunteer passed the Mayflower, with the Puritan rapidly oloelng the gap. Half an hour from the start the wind was blowing ten knots aa hour, in which the Volunteer was sailing splendidly and mate taining her lead. The Sachem Ml her class well with the Magic next At 10:39 the Volunteer changed to a windward tack, which the others adopted soon after. At 10:55 the Volunteer resumed her port tack, which she held until 11 o'clock, when she was turned again to avoid the strong tides in Lambert's cove. Some lively skirmishing was going on between the Mayflower and Puritan, which ended in the latter overhauling and passing her rival at 11:16. The Volunteer was then a mile alx&d of both of them. Emit Schoenberg Reported to be a Forger Chatsworth, Ills., Aug. 16.—Mr. Stillwell, of West Point, Ind., who was injured in the wreck died at Piper City yesterday morning. Frank Taylor, a young man from Macomb, whose leg has been amputated, is so low that he Is not expected to live more than a few hours. for •800,000. Philadelphia, Aug. 16.—The startling statement is made that Emil Schoenbe'-g, who has for some time been supposed to be a partner of John F. Bete, the millionaire iirewer, is a forger to a large amount. Schoenberg was supposed to have been associated with Mr. Bets in the construction of a new opera house in the northwestern part of the city, and was, aa a holder of stock to the imount of $125,000, made the president at the Qermania Brewing company, a new corporation.Mr. Bets says that no such firm as Bete & Scboenborg ever existed, and that he will take measures to have Schoenberg brought back to th« city. He authorizes the statement that when the Qermania brewery was projectwl be went into it aa a stockholder, and Sclioenberg also took $135,000 of stock. Schoenberg did not have this amount X cash, and therefore he borrowed the money from several banks in this city, giving as security a variety of paper, whioh was then thought to be good, but it has since transpired that the signatures and indorsements upon some of the paper were placed there by others than the rightful owners. Mr. Bets' name was upon some of it, both as treasurer of the Oermania Brewing company and as an individual indorser of t£e notes. The name of S. R. Nestor, the malster of Geneva, N. Y., also appears upon some of the paper without his consent Out TIC AS. Jt aOolkor4 1baforl 00 K. W. Armstrong, superintendent and John S. Stevens, attorney of the Toledo, Peoria and Western, visited Piper City yesterday njorning, stopping at the ruins of the wreck and questioning the section men employed there. They left there for Peoria at noon, but returned to be present at the coroner's inquest, which was resumed this afternoon. Mr. Armstrong said that he did not place any reliance on the reported arrest of two men at Kentland, Ind., for Buspected complicity in causing the disaster. He had not been informed of anything of the kind. Mr. Stevens said if the men had been arrested it had been without the knowledge or orders of the company, and probably because they were suspicious characters, and might have had property on their persons which the local authorities supposed might have been stolen from the wreck.

MarlSe (ntelllgeaea. The Volunteer had gained on her rivals all along by pointing closer into the wW, but she still showed better speed. Stat aad the Puritan had the advantage of the Mayflower in being able to hug oloeer to the wind and in gaining one long port tack. The Mayflower kept dropping to lea ward from Gayhead to the finish, and she was so far in the bay at Quickshole that an extra windward tack was necessary to put ber on a straight course.

HOPELESSLY INSANE, The Bulgarian situation will probably undergo do change until Prince Ferdinand reaches Sofia, when something decisive will be looked for. At present all of the powers concerned remain entirely passive, but the slightest approach toward defiance exhibited iu the proclamations of the prince after his arrival at the capital,* course the youth and lack of tact of the new ruler is likely to lead him to take, will bring the Russian bear down upon him in a hurry. The mission of Artin Effendi as Turkish commissioner to Bulgaria in place of Riza Pasha is merely tentative, but the change is favorably received by the powers, and it is thought that he may in a great degree influence Prince Ferdinand to restrain his tendency to issue grandiose addressos and fulminating proclamations.
