ANEW DISTRICT CHOSEN. eae A Vigorous Canvass for the Nomi- | nation To Be Inaugurated. A “PETITION” FROM HIS FRIENDS. The General’s Views on the Lesding Issues of the Day. Lowen, Mass., August 9, 1876, The politica! apathy which has existed in Massachu- setts during the past two years promises to be inter- rupted during the approaching autumn, It has for some weeks been ramored that General Butler had con- sented to receive Congressional honors again, day he has formally declared that he will serve if his fellow citizons so will it at the election next Novem- ber. He has, howover, forsaken the Cape Aun (or Gloucester) district, and will this time try his fortune in and to, TUE LOWRLL DISTRICT. In conversation with the General your correspondent learned that the campaign will be inaugurated forth- with and the candidate will take the stump himself at anearly day, The lively work of the canvass will, of | course, be commenced previous to the holding of the homynating convention, and if General Butler succeeds in securing the nomination he will be likely to keep ap A VIGOROUS CRUSADE | against the democratic candidate until the eve of tho election. If, oa the contrary, the General should be | defeated in the effort tor nomination it is not likely | that he will undertake to bolt and become an indepen- Gout-candidate, Tho General and bis friends are cond. | dent of success, and, whether he 1¢ vanquished or not, the campaign will inevitably be a spirited and enter- taining one, Vhe district includes both the cities of Lowell and Lawrence, and also several other manufacturing towns of size and importan: The biue-blooded literary town | of Concord Is also within the aisiriet, and from the fact that Judge Hoar resides thero it is sate to anticipate | that the delegates from that borough will be anti- Butler, The letter soliciting the Gate in the Seventh district, to L append in fall — LETTER TO THE GeNRRAL BeNsaaux FL BUTLER :— Ueak SiK—ibe undersipned, believing that the pres- c ral to become a candi- ther with his letter of acceptance ERAL, ence bds that the Commonwesltu should be represented by her ablest men, and cherishing with gratetul reiiembrance the services which you have | rendered the country and Stace, desire lo present your awe to thorvoters of the Seventh Congressional dis- | as a candi or the Forty-tifth Cougress, | Charlies A, Stott, ayor; Jonatuan P, Folsom, Francis Jewett and Jetlereon Buncroit, yors; Dr, Burn- | ham, H.

Fuk TARIPP QUESTION, Upon a question which vitatiy concerns your mate- | rial interests it is quite possible that I may be of some | ust to the district. and country, Everybody foresces that the laws imposing imposts upon imported joreign goods, kuown as the “Carifl aws,”* must almost or neces- BAy ve revised by the bext Congress. Orig ually passed uniler the pressing necessities of the country ior reve: » during the War, When our manafaciories were r closed or their production turned Lowerd art novessity for use by the army, from Jistances (His LAX bas become exe \° some, a8 well apon the manufacturer as the consumer, tad ih some cases cripples tue commerce oi the country | without a corresponding benelit to its needed revenues, A judicious adjustment of the details yn is Very important to the industriai interests of your district, which Lhope 1 may ve able to represeut with effect; Certainly, with every interest o; my own intertwined with your own, l shail be impelled by every motive to carry owt your wishes in that regard. RQUAL KIGUTS. mount question of all seems to me to be, how shail p quiet and {ull protection to persou and roperty be secured to every citizen under the laws? The time has naw come when the country inust re in good or evil, the results of the terrible war late closed. Wheiher wisely of auwisely, it is now too late to inquire, that War was fought to make this country bation and not a confederation of States, to each of rhe p whic alone could the citizen look tor pi von and $8 of grievan wo ablish equality of right il men under the law, and equality of power all men as Citizens im the governme:t; to bie the government to give equal provectio > ail men by its laws, and Where wronged a remedy to tue ciizen ima last’resort for all injuries, by whomsvever and wheresoever that wrong mignt be done.

SIGEL THE HERO OF WILSON'S CREEK ON THE PONITI- CAL SITUATION--H¥ DECLARES THAT A MA- JORITY OF THE GERMAN VOTERS WILL SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. ‘The publication ot a letter in yesterday morning's Hexanp signed by General Franz sigei, in which he in- dicated very clearty and very positively that be would support Samuel J. Tilden tor the Presidency, caused a tremendous sensation thronghont the city, and more particularly among the Germans, who, with our Ameri- | can born citizens, have looked upon the distinguished | aruilleryman as the very Coryphiens of republicanism, | Many of our tost influential German cittzens, how- ever, did not hesitate in a bearty manner when spoken to to indorse the views set forth by General Sigel 1m his now famous letter, The Herat reporter having found General Sigel that gentleman, in his usual matter of fact and quiet manner, proceeded to state his views and the cause of his departure from the republican fold, “Te led on you, General Sigel, to oscertain the rea- son why yon have written the letter stating that you will support Mr. Tilden for the Presidency, and why you are to abide by the platform of the Democratic Convention at St. Louis #”? Geveral SicKi—It is not a personal matter; it ts a political matter, I have no il-teeling against the members of the republican party, because I have been very well treated by them Sthice the war. But I think that this is another reform movement, as there was one like it in 1871, m which Governor Tilden was instrumental in bringing about the reversion of public opinion, which in its turn brought about the downfall of Tweed and bis followers—not Tweed and his party, for he bad no party or principles, but merely a lot of rulliaus who followed him for thievery. These men Governor Tiiden was instrumental in puttingdown, I tink ‘he fivaneial policy ot tie administration for years has been a policy of vampirism, to draw from | the blood of the people as much money as could be gotten possibly. While it i true that we have paid off 700,000,000 of the public debt the different States have contracted a new debt of $1,200,000,000, which leaves a deficit of $00,000,000. I think if you pay off $700,000, 000 and contract «debt ot $1,200,000,000 that itis hot progress, but, instead of that, it isa step ard, “Well, General, do you think that there will boa change !n the administration at this election?” General Stoxi— tink that the business interests of the country demand a change, as '$ muicated by the Jeter of Tilden, and @ cuange in the policy of the general governmeut im the treatment of the South, which of course would, or will, have an influevee on the finaneial condition of — the whole country. The responsibilty tor the good conduct oi the Southern people inust be thrown ou the Southern States thomseives, and I have no doubt that they will get along better nione than under the guardianship of the geueral government, because in the natural condition of things they have more in- ts at stake than we have in the North and more fe. And this mpeiled to tive with them, and the future of the South, suatwoljare and its prosperity, depend just as much on thé colored people as those | essentials do on the whites themselves, This constant interlerence with their allwirs, and in particular in Te. gard to the colored people, mast nabursliy irritate the | d eres ally an avingonisin be- | tween the (Wo races Which should not exist, and which | could not probably exist fit were not Jor that inter. lerence, “General, I want to ask you what is your opinion as | to the action the German people in the United states | will take in the coming canvass ?”? General Siaen (very slowly and very positively)—I | firmly believe that the majority of the German people of America will favor the election of Governor Triden to te Presiden: not because they kuow much of Governor Tilden oF bis interests oF policy, but because they are determined to bave a change of adiuinistra- | tion, The German citizens in the United States have always been democrats by insunet, but they have acied as republicans because they hated slavery. They are not prohivitionists or protectionists I, ot course, | hibition in a commercial Neither y futely in tavor of Iree trae, because that 18 Inpossibie under present circumstances, but they are Jor a reduction of the great number of aricies how paying duty, and for a greaier equalization in the duties on different articles, because prohibition of this rmans also do not believe in our system of internal taxation, because it throws the butik of We taxes on a few bral Desk and makes taxes thus specific exorbtant This seems to the Germans very unjust and aven out rageous, “General,”” asked the reporter, “what 18 the number rman voters in the United States, a8 near as you can estimate ¥”? I think,?” said the old veteran, as if ealeniating, “about 550,000 to 600,000, Thatis about the numuer of those wiio ure of the German speaking race, of Ger= Mau parents aud who move in one diveetion wita @ German aun of German prociivities, And { tuink the majority of these vows will be thrown for Tilden. Of course theo number might | be ine da oby those — who woula come | aturaily in contact with the Germans or who might be iniluenced by them in daily business, The Germane are a very peculiar kied of people, you must recoti if tuey have an opinion they go for 1, As to Scharg, [enn’t say what his following will be. 1 know that if the German people make up their minds, as they will in Unis contest, they wil follow ineir own opinions and not the opinions or professions ot their leaders. Fortuermore, the Germaus always follow therr own interests—I mean thew material mteresis— ud I know that they are very sceptical us to polities: and politiciae. They do not think politicians to be trustworthy, as Lundersian! them. There are many leading Germans who have dee jor Tikd Frederick Hausarck, in the West, is aman ot very | great twents, He’ is net known so much im the Kost. Hausarek was a warm supporter of Abrabai Lincoln when he ran for the Presidency, Hausarek is { rdent in his support of Mr. Tilden. Es-Gove Koerner, of Itmois, was for Lincoln warmly, He is | now for Tilden, He was formerly aiso on Fremont’s | staf, Judge Stallo, of Cincinnati, one of the most honest ot men, was for Lincoln. He is a inan of pow. oriul influence. Judge Stallo 1@ now lor Tilden, Ri mele, of Onijo, is also a mun of great influence, and be is now supporting Tilden among our German ' poopie, Again | assert that the German people want a revival Of (rade, they Want peace, they want « change, they dou’t trust (his admimistration, and this thing has to bo ended—this system of keopiag up antagonisms be- tween the two races, black and white, in the Sout. It must be ended once and for all in this coming elec- tion.” “Do you think, General Sigel, that the country will be sate in the bands of Governor Tilden if he should be | elected President of the United States? nerai Sigkt—Why, ceriainiy. Tuere are objec- tious wade by a great many guod and well-meaning men to Governor Tiiden’s election, with the idea that where would be a danger to the Kepabiic in the concer tration of £0 much of the Hation’s power im the ban of the chief of the democratic party. Well, are not the army and navy ‘oyal, and the United States judiciary down South appotated lor life or during good behavior, and are they not loyal to the government? 1 should think that they were, and L think that the army doonavy i mach = mo loyal now to the government than tt was And then certain people are | afraid that disturbances would arise in the Southern | States aiter the election of Mr. Tilden. Ido not believe that Me. Tilden would permit such disturbances, and if he did they would be put down, It will be in the futerest of a democratic goverument, with Governor Tilden at its bead, to avotd and prevent all such causes ol dis: | content: because, in case of any really serious trouble at the south, and any wegleet in the adininistration of e erush such disturbances, and a re- | tai and private srdebtinent, seood in the condition of | tle sovernment to dellion were threavened, the Americau poopie would rise like one Man and meet the ¢ nger. I myself would enlist as a Volunteer again, b: ‘as I did before, But there is no such dunget possible, with Governor Tiiden as President, The people, the army and navy and the Judiciary are loyal, and these’ are guarantees: enough tor saleiy.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY—THREE PERSONS SUFFOCATED IN A WELL. A most unfortunate occurrence transpired at White Plains, Westebester county, yesterday morning, in- volving the almost instantaneous death of three per- Sons, who, through imprudence, may be said to bave | been directly instrumental in their own taking off, The ill fated parties were Cornelius Donovan, aged forty-five; Timothy Donovan, brother of the former, aged forty, and Cornelius Donovan, a lad of seventeen, and son to Timothy, It seemed tbat Timothy, who hved within a few steps of his brother, on Chatterion Hill, bad been engaged in deep- ening a well om his premises during the previous day, and to aecompiish this a rock re- quired blasting, This rock was located at adepth of about thirty feet, in an irregular hole not more than four feet wide. Accordingly a blast was xrranged on Tuesday evening, but it refused to explode when fired, notwithstanding the assertion that Timothy and bis son endeavored to set it ‘of by igniting a quantity of Pine shavings over it, When night fell they covered the well over with boards. Kuriy yesterday morning the father and son resumed work, and the latter, taking hold of a rope attached to the windlass, attempted to descend for the purpose ot examining the defective blast, He had been lowered to within a few feet of the Lottom, wnen, without giving avy warning, he suddenly relaxed his hold of the rope and fel, After cailog repeatedly to his son and ra- ceiving no reply, Timothy shouted to bis brother Cornelious for assistance, seized the rope and lowered himself into the fatal hoje, where the deathlike still- ness which again ensued convinced the remaining brother that somothing was wrong below. He at once ran a short distance to the house of a neighbor, whom he begged imploringiy to come and help him, as he feared lis brother and hephew Were both dead at the bottom of the well, Hasteping back Ww the scene of the disaster, Cornelius, Who appeared to be in a hail crazed condition, let bin: self down by Loiding ou with bis hands and feet to the rough stone work forming the sides of the well, Before he bad time to reach the bottom, however, he shouted for « rope, Which was immodiately lowered, but noth. ing tore was heard from him, an Indication wnich lott no room in the minds of those above to doubt that all three iu the well were suitocated, As the uews of the disaster was speedily circulated iu the neighborhood a large crowd svon gathered around the fatal spot, During the excitement which followed various were the plaus proposed for the re- covery Of the bodies while lite might possibly be ro- maining, somo running for a doctor and others essaying the almost impossibie task of digging away the side of the well, which ty sunk om somewhat abruptly imetining ground. As by tbis process it would have taken several hours to reach the bottom of the woil, the attempt was soon abandoned, Meantime the lamentations of the relatives ot the Vonovans were affecting in the ex- treme, but uo one dured descend to the rescue, feeling that t0 do so woul be to court certain death, For the Purpose Of testing the atmosphere of thy well « lighted candle Was lowered into it and was exunguished at a depth of about twelve feet trom the surface, This was Tepeaced with a like result, when a buckettul of ignited shavings was let down, the blaze going out belore balf the depth had been reached. By this timo tuily an hour tad elapsed since the Don- ovans went down into the well, and all hopes of getting them out alive bad been -1ven up. A couple of blankets were then brought into requisition, and these being attached to ropes, were lowered and then drawn up rapidly, with the object of dispelling or “pumping out?’ the poisonous gases from the well. This process was continued until after several trials with a lighted candle, which ultimately continued to burn at the bottom of the well, when one of the neign- bors, J. F. Loy, volunteered to descend and fasten a rope to the bodies After this had been done and the two elder Donovans brought to the surlace Loy became sick and had to be hauled up, when an- other party descended and affixed a rope to the re- maining body. 1t is almost needless to say that a1 three gave evidence of having died almost nas eT atter inbaling the poisonous gases which pertnested the atmospuere of the well wuen they / de- scended, As the two eldest Donovans “were constanuly engaged at digging wells the onder i8 that” they should have been so infprudent as to descend into the fatal excavatioy without having first ascertained that the aimo-piere therein wou'd support life. At the inquest hei by Coroner Young Dr. N. F. Curtis testified thay he bud examined the bodies, and that death had been caused by as- phyxia, occasioned by carbonic oxide gas. To a que Uon by one of the jurors the Doctor said death in each caso had ensned in afew minutes. Another membor of the jury, after giving bis testimony, volunteered the opinion that as it was appareat Timothy Donovan and his sou worked the whole of Tuesday without encountering any noxious inbalations, he believed that the deadly vapors which caused their death were gen- erated curing the mgbt by the smoke of the shavings which they Bad lighted on the previous evening, and was commencing an extempurancous dissertation on the causes nud effects of gases generally woen he was unceremoniously rapped to order by the Coroner, A Ferdick ol deajh trom sephs xin rendered.
