Death of Secretary Rawlins. The first public dispatch that reached this point over the new telegraph lino announced the !eath of Gen. John A. Rawlins, Secretary of War, which occurred in Washington city on Monday afternoon. He was a man much esteemed and respected. but never gained great fame either as a military or civil of ficer, although he doubtless informed his duties faithfully and satisfactorily. Tiie NorrUtown Independent, a leading radical japer, scents the coming political ttorm, and in the following extract from an editorial article abandons all hope of the election of Geary : "A calm survey of the political field induces us to believe there is more (lunger ahead than the ardent, unthinking Rt-puhlicaus are willing to concede. Gen. Geury ro iy have made some new friends during the last three years, but he lias not retained all bis old ones. Thre is not perhaps much dissatisfaction in the West, bot there certainly is in the East. And this is more uiifortonate because it is the lotne of Mr. Packer, and he being a high-toned and es teemed citizen, he will reap the benefit of what ever there ia of coolness and apathy in the Re publican party. The Chairman of the Repub lican State Central Committee, Hon. John4 Covode, is from the West, and may not know the atmosphere we breathe ; yet he cannot be entirely ignorant of the facts. We are not alarmists, but we speak the plain God's truth, bo that the danger may be seen and averted." Old Jessb R. Grant, Postmaster at Cov ington, Ky., and father of our "second WatJiington," seems to be running all the Western post-offices and regulating the ap pointments to minor places in the postal service. His latest effjrt in this line is the ejection of Captain C. C. M'Ginnity (who fought in a number of battles in the late war and was severely wounded at Stone River) from the position of mail route aget from Covington to Nicholasvillo, Kentucky. The Captain was supported for the office, says the Cincinnati Commercial, by nearly every prominent Uuion officer and citizen in the vicinity where he lives, and his services in the army would 6eem to constitute a claim for radical recognition. But old Jesse wants the place for a friend or member of the fam ily, and the change was made, as George Earl, First Assistant Postmaster General, writes to Capt. M'Ginnity, "at the instance i'f Jesse R. Grant, father of the President." For this distinguished service the C-lurnbus Statesman calls Grant senior, with entire truthfulness co doubt, "a meddlesome old uss." It is at la&t announced, by authority from Washington, that the ircn-clad test oath will not b enforced against the membtrs of the Virginia legislature. Attorney General Hoar has given a written opinion lo this ef fect and has transmitted it to Gen. Canby. the military satrap who rtigns over the mother of States and ttatesmen. When it is considered that Grant himself directed the test oath in the new constitution of the State to be submitted to a separate vote, and that it was defeated by an overwhelming majority, the mere suggestion of requiring it to be taken could not but be regarded as a gross outrage. Even II jf ace Greely rebelled against it, and denounced the proposition in the following emphatic terms : We no bear that General Cr nby persists in his purpose of exacting the iren chid oath of eveiy member of the new Legislature, and leeply regret it. We see no end to be achieved ty it but that of converting the triumphant Walker party into an anti-administration par ty, and embittering the political feuds of Vir ginia for years to come. If the effect be to deprive the majority of United States Senators nnd enable the minority to elect , them, the wrong will be greater and the blunder more fatal. We must cherish the hope that General Canby will yet be induced "to accept the situ ation" as fully, if not so heartily, as the late rebels appear to have done. Tlio California Election. An election for members of the Legislature and county officers took place in California on the 1st instant. The great leading issue was a decision by the people of that State of the question of the adoption or rejection of the Fiftoeuth Amendment to the Constitu tion, known as the negro amendment. The following telegraph dispatch from Got. Haigbt, of that State, tells the story : Saw Fiancisco, Sept. 3, We have gained an overwhelming democratic victory in Cali fornia. Three-lourlhs of the legislature is democratic. U. 11. Uaigut. California has therefore declared that she will regulate the question of negro suffrage for herself, and that sho is opposed to forcing it on the people of Pennsylvania or any other State, but will lpave it to be decided by the votes of each State for itself, just as the Grant platform manufactured at Chicago de clared each State had the right to do. In other word, the democratic party bas elect ed a decided majority of the members of the Legislature, and has thus drivon another nail In the coffin of universal negro suffrage. In Wyoming Territory, where an election was held on the Sd instant, the democratic party elected S. F. Nuckolls, democrat, del egate to Congress by a large majority. These democratic victories are only the beginning of tbc end, as will be made per fectly manifest by the election of Packer in Pennsylvania and Fcndlcton in Ohio, in Oc tober, to be followed in November by the success of Pent in Mississippi and Hamilton in Texas. After that, tho deluge. Foster and Covode. The testimony ra the case of the contesttd election between Gen. Filter and John Co vode ha all been taken. We have the au thority of an intelligent gentleman from that Congressional district foT saying that the ev idence which has been taken establishes the right of Gen. Foster to his seat in Congress, beyond all cavil Or dispute. We never doubted that such wonld be the result of the investigation, which w6nld never have been necessary if John W. Geary had done what he ought to have done, and inserte l in his proclamation the name of Henry D. Foster as the member of Congress elect from the Westmoreland district. This simple duty he refuccd to peiform, at the dictation of his frieud Covode, and under the broad seal of the Commonwealth undertook to nullify the voice of a majority of the people of the dis trict. Gen. Foster has yet to pass through the fierv ordeal of a radio-.l Congress. Of course we cannot and do not undertake to antici pate the ref nit. To our certain knowledge no democrat ever yet got his seat in that body, if, by any technical objection, it could be prevented. Gen. Foster's case may be, and by all the principles of justice ought to be, an exception to the general but unjust rule. Special legislation. One of the resolutions adopted by the Rad ical State Convention that renominated John W. Geary complimented him for having, as it was alleged, curtailed the number of spe cial acts of the Legislature. This is all a transparent shara, and was well known to be so, both by the committee th.it reported the resolution and the convention that passed it. Let us see how the facts are, and it will then be perceived how utterly groundless is the c'aim thus set up in favor of inflicting Geary for another term upon the people of Pennsylvania. . If there is any one curse more to be repro bated thnn another, it is the growing evil of special legislation. It may be sa:d, with ab solute truth, that under the amendment to the Constitution adopted some years ago, which was specially designed to put a quietus on thi& source of profligate and corrupt pri vate legislation, the courts of the different judicial districts arc invented with the power of doing at least one-fourth of the business that is now done by the legislature. But under the administration of John W. Geary this amendment has become practica'ly a dead letter. Under the administration of Gjv. Packer, during 1858, 1859 and I860, there were passed a total of 2,019 bills which became laws, or an annual averpg of C73. During the last term of Gov. Geary's admin istration, embracing the years 136L 18C5 and 18GG, there were pa-sed 3.131 bills, or an annual average of 1,044. During Geary's term of office 3,689 bills became laws, show ing an annual average of 1,223, or nearly double the average duiing Gov. Packer's term. In view of these f icts, what becomes of the impndent claim set up by Geary's friends, that he is and has been the avowed enemy of special legislation. There is j'ist the same reason for saying so that there is for the rrjually false allegation that his ad ministration has been economical, in face of the official records, which show beyond all controversy that it far exceeds in extrava gance and corruption any one that has pre ceded it. Bum so the last two weeks of August there was neither a President nor a singls member of the Cabinet in Washington, tx cept General Rawlins, the Secretary of War, and he wja prostrated on a bed of sickness. It is true that Grant returned to the Capital on the 31st of the month,' and after remain inc there thirtii-six Jionrs, took the cars and returned to Saratoga to wituess the last of the races at that fashionable watering place. What President and what President's Cabi net ever before made himself and themselves so supremely ridiculous? Clam eating, danc ing and horse racing engross the entire time of Grant and his advisers, while men from all "ctions of the country, having important business with tho President and members of his Cabinet, are compelled to icmain at the seat of government, patiently awaiting the return of this traveling administration. It is stated as a matter of fact, that since Grant has been in office about six months he has passed through Baltimore on these pleasure excursions itemtyfour times. It may be that his almost uninterrupted ab sence from Washington is the country's gain. It is certainly a sorry administration, and none bnt itself could possibly be its parallel. The history of the government thows noth ing like it heretofore, and it is to be ltoped that it never will hereafter. It is a stench in the nostrils of even the Republicans them selves, and as an evidence that such is the fact, the Syracuse SUtndard, a prominent radical paper of New York State, thus ridi cules the movements of the "second Wash ington" : We wonder if the government is in Washing ton to-day, or at Long Branch, or Newport, or Saratoga, or where not? We have a confused sort of nn idea that there was to be a Cabinet meeting yesteiday. which our dispatches may or may not confirm ; but, if there was, it is mote than probable that, like birds of passage, the President and the heads ef the departments have all taken their winged way from the dust of the capital by tliis matin hour. Really the hard work of an editor who attempts to keep posted as to the movements of our high offi cials cannot, we are sure, be properly appreci ated by the public. Formerly we used to know where to find them at tbeir respective posts of duty ; bnt this perpetual junkeiing beats us entirely. We get an idea tnat one of them is at a certain place, but just as we are convinced of hia locality ajid thiiik we are going to close upon bim, like a mosquito, he is buzzing some where else. We can't catch him anywhere Wouldn't it be jnst as well if these frisky indi viduals stayed a little while iu one place, and that place Washington? Addinda. We find upon farther investigation that the President is still at Newport, and Bout well is with him. We do not k:ow where the rest are. They ony be in Kamscatka for all we know. A Cabinet meeting for routine busines ia prom ised the country Friday ; after which the birds of passage will fly eastward and westward and northward and southward. We'll keep the best lookout possible for tbeir movements, but we cannot prom'ue exact information. Addenda Extka. The President is at Saratoga, at Con card, at - -. Gracious I Look at the tel egrams. We c.an tUTrnere he ?. CSeary's Kxtravagance. That the administration of John W. Geary has squandered the money of the people with a recklessness and improvidence never before equalled by any previous government of the State, is a proposition susceptible of direct and positive proof. The most conclusive method of ascertaining whether an adminis. t ration bas been extravagant or otherwise iu its use of the public money, is by contrast ing it with its predecessors whose expendi tures were regarded at the time as having been conficed within fair and moderate lim its. Tested by this standard. .Geary's ad ministration has been criminally wasteful of the public funds, and ought to meet with general condemnation at the hands of the people. The expenses of the State govern ment during the last three years of the war, under the administration of Gov. Curtin. were as follows : - 1863, '..'$446,450. 1864, COO, 1 02. 1865 C16.023. For the three years since the war, under the administration of? John W Geary, they have been as follows : 1866...... $ 668,909. 1867,...: 802,878. 1868.......... 845,539. It will be seen from the foregoing statements, whiqh are taken from the reports of the Au ditor General for the years named, that the amount expended in 1868 exceeded the ex penditures of 1864, one of the most expen sive years of the war, the enormous sum of $245,518, and were almost twice as large as they were in 1863. Will any sane man pre tend to say that during the year 186S, three years after the close of the war, it required $245,518 more money to carry on the State government than it did during 1864, when the country was in the midst of the war and when Pennsylvania was heavily taxed for military purposes? And yet such was the fact, as is conclusively bhown by the fore going official figures. Where all this money bas gone is not so easily explained, but it is not very difficult to locate some of the corrupt political sewers through which the money of the people has been diverted from its le gitimate purposes under the present State administration. One of these sources is the public printing, wliich, under Geary's reform administration, bas been a constantly increas ing 6tream of political and personal corrup tion. In 1860. the" last year of Governor racket's administration, the cost of the pub lie printing for the State was $30,64 1. From the report of the Auditor General for 1868 it appears that the public printing for that year amounted to $134,908. or $104,327 more than it did in 1860. We merely give the official figures and will ask any honest man whether he can explain them on any principle of economy or a just regard for the true interests of the tax-payers of the State? Senator Morton, ef Indiana, on Thurs day, in a syeech in Pittsburg, undertook to character'za the platforms of the two parties. Said he: The Democranic and Republican platforms, taken together, resemble a double mile post that pari of the mile-post that looks backward tells you whe-e yiru came from, and how far you have gone. That is the Democratic par ty. The other tide of the mile post is the Republican. That looks forward, aud tells you how far you have to go. Thus he ended his speech, nnd did not tell bis hearers where the Radical platform was to take them. This omission is, however, supplied by what the veteran Scotch author, Thomas Carlyle. said to a correspondent of the New York .Tribune, who tried to get from him a compliment to Radical "pro gress." Carlyle said : "As sure as the Lord reigns, you are rua'--irg down to hell with desperate velocity. The scum of the world has got possesion of your country, and nothing can save you from the devil's clutclies. Not, perhaps, cried he, rais ing his voice to its shrillest notes, "a bell buruin g ltb material ore ana tmmsione, out the wide weltering fiery choa9 of corruption in high places, aud the misrule of the people." The claims of the great and good Gov ernor John W. Geary to still further honors at the hands of bis party are characteris tically set forth by Forney's Press : "He " has been Mayor of San Francisco, Military Governor of Savannah, and Governor of " Pennsylvania," showing that he is a carpet-bagger of the most approved stripe, ready to go anywhere for tffice and to take an3'thing that offers. After the October election, it is presumed that be will be eager to migrate and take the mayoralty or mili tary governorship of Sitka. He entered the volunteer army in 1861 as a full-blown col onel, and was made a brigadier in 1862. and thereafter became a major-general. Thi3 was in the days when farmers, shoe makers, and lawyers' clerks, if they were only "loil," were in danger of being sudden ly seized on the White House grounds, car ried before the late Lincoln, and then shot out of the doors or windows as brigadier or major generals. Bnt, says Forney, "aUhe present day be carries rebel lead in his body." In fact, be is full of it. It loads him down. It makes him altogether too heavy a candi date for the Pennsylvania Radicals to carry successfully through the coming campaign. World. Here are some of the Presidential duties duly done last week : On Friday Mr. Grant lunched at the Tip-top House, on Mount Washington, and was photographed. He then came down and drove in a light wagon with Mrs. Grant towards JJethlem. On the way he was overtaken and was found "quiet ly unhitching his horses." In the evening he rode in "the Profile House chariot, drawn by eight splendid horses, and the President "and son Jesse occupied the front seat with " the driver." Then he went to Saratoga, and, as nobody gave him anything on Sat urday, it occurred to him that he might vary the monotony by going to Washington "to hold a Cabinefmeeting." But he had much rather hold horses, and the horse men. hotel men, gift men, and other men are delighted to know that the President will return to Saratoga at the earliest possible moment. World A man named Duffy was stabbed and afterwards beaten on the head with stones, in West Pittsburgh, on Friday last, by an other man named Thomas Sullivan, who managed to escape, but has since been ar rested in Beaver county. No hopes were entertained of Duffy's recovery. There is a famine among the negroes at Washington. Subscription papers are cir culated in their behalf. Food is supplied to them to keep them alive long enough to en able them to get up mobs and kill each other on account f the free exercise of the right o( suffrage, Political and We ws Items.

In spite of the benevolent Quakers, the Indian difficulties are cot as near solution as expected.

What became of the seven millions of dollars which disappeared from the State Treasury during the four years of Governor John W. Geary's administration, and which remain unaccouutcd fcr? Whose fingers are soiled ; whose pockets lined ? The editor of of the Mahoming (Ohio) Vindicator truly says "there is no way of dodging the issue, if you vote the Radical ticket, you vote for negro suffrage. There U no way of getting around, over, through, or under it ; the wool's in the Radical ticket. The dead body cf a man whose throat had been cut from ear to ear, was found, a few days ago, near Maple creek, Washing ton county.

Jedediah 0borne, the oldest man in Michigan, died on the 26th, in the one hun dred and second year of his age. While in bis garden he accidentally disturbed a swarm of bees, four or five stung him on the head, and be fell backward and died almost in stantly. Geary stands before the world as the unqualified advocate of the Fiftheenth Ar ticle. Every vote for him is an acknowl edgement that the Constitution of the Com monwealth may be contemptuously ignored whenever it 6uits the purpose of radical par tisans to disregard its sacred provisions. In Memphis, on Fiiday,Mn. Ann Deck, a Northern Udy. and teacher of the Avery Chapel colored school, murdored hersell and her colored baby by leaping into a deep well containing fourteen feet of water.

The Cincinnati Commercial says Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, thould be aware that if tho principle of protection to which he devotes himself with so much vigor, is sound, tbe labor of the conctry. no less than the capital, is entitled to protection. Why not protect the American laborer against Chinese emigration, aa well as tbe Pennsyl vania iron manufacturer against Luglisb competition ? During a lafe tornado near DeWitt, Iowa, a sister of Mrs. Ilowett, whose house was destroyed, saw the storm approaching, and rushed out of tbe building, when she was seized by the wind and raised several feet into the air, and dashed violently to tbe earth again, when she caoght hold of a large stick of timber, and held by main strength until the furv of the wind had abated. She was considerably bruised. At Milford. N.

The in iuries received were serious. A yoang lady residing near Earlville, Canada, wearing a highly-polished silver pin, was looking at the eclipse considerably through the ordinary smoked glass, dnring tbe time of tbe transit, and afterward dis covered that the eclipse had daguerreotyped itself upon her pin at the time that the sun was about half obscured.

" An Earthquake CYmikg. A California Savant Predicts a Heavy Shaking-Vp of Things in September or October. A corres pondent of the San Francisco Chronicle says: During the past eighteen months tbe earth and other planets completed tbe most re markable conjunction which has ever occur red ; and on the night of the 14th of last November we again witnessed tbe thirty four year star swarm. Every intelligent person is aware that for a period of nearly , v 1? . 1 - two years our giooe nas oeen tuijotieu k violent perturbations, such as have not be fore occurred for nianycecturies. These perturbations have been generally over the surface of tbe planet. Storms, typhoons, volcanoes, earthquakes, intense cold and scorching winds have alternately spent tbeir fury upon the denizens of every hemisphere. By careful observations, astronomers have found that in a period of about eleven j-ears the sun turns toward us a remarkably spot ted dise, and it has also been observed that any sudden changes of light and shade upon tbe sun during this spotted period instantly effect terrestrial magnets. It is well known that in the autumn of 1859 one of these sun spot perturbations was immediately followed by oce of the roost brilliant Aurora Boreal is ever witnessed in the Northern hemisphere ; and still more surprising the megnetic effect of the aurora was so great that messages were freely sent over telegraphic lioea with out connection with tbe batteries and by means of the auroral current alone. Many additional facts, showing tbe connection of celestial with terrestrial magnetism, might be given, but I neither have the time nor room at preseut. Suffice it to say, that as the earth's magnetic forces are now and for many months have been greatly disturbed by cotsmical influences ; and as we have re cently made our annual transit through the nebulous belt ; and as the suu's surface is at this moment d it figured by an unusual number of spots ; and as the moon on the 7th instant passed between ns and the sun. thereby causioig an additional magnetic dis turbance upon the earth ; and as we on tbe Pacific coast are now experiencing an un usually protracted dry season : tbe invaria ble preensorof temblors in this part of the world ; for tbe foregoing and many other potent reesens, I predict a heavy earthquake to take place early next autumn, as soon as moist clouds float into the dry, vapor less atmosphere. A Ladt with a PnosPHOBEscSNT Foot. A lady of Boston claims that a few nights since, upon retiring to rest, the gat being out and the room quite dark, her attention was directed to her foot, which was illuminated by a light, which, upon examination, was found to be phosphorescent, and pro ceeded from the upper side of the fourth toe of the right foot. Upon rubbing it with tbe band the light increased and followed op the foot, the fumeu filling the room with a disagreeal le do . This lasted some time, when the foot was immersed in a basin of water, hoping to quench the light, but to no purpose, for it continued beneath tbe surface of the water, the fumes rising above. Tbe foot was taken out and wiped dry, but tbe light still re mained. A second immersion of the foot followed, and soap was applied with the same result. No more exerimccts were tried, and after a time it gradually faded and disappeared. Tbe time occupied by tbe phenomena was about three quarters of an hour. The lady's husband subbtantiates the above. Mr. O. Morton. Senator of Indiana, has been imported into Pennsylvania to do some stumping for the Radical party. He proved quite i fficient in the West during the Presi dential campaign. His business there was to expound the Radical financial platform according to Western notions. It contained this quibble : Tbe bonds were to be paid, 'not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the law.' That means payment in greenbacks, cried every Radical organ in the West. Meanwhile Radical politicians in the Eastern cities were loud in declaring that gold should be paid to every bondholder, whether it had been promised to bim or not. At the same time, it will be remem bered, the Radical platform said that the question of suffrage belonged to the people of each loyal State. Now Morton is here to prove that there was some mistake about that; and that the people of Pennsylvania have nothing to do with the question. It will be seen that Mr. Morton is a very useful man ; can blow hot or cold, affirm and deny, as the party requires, so tbey have sent for him to try to save Geary. Age. The IForW says : "Now that the terrible old war horse Geary is once more on the war path, it is well enough to revive his old story which he told, with great success, In his first fight for Governorship of Pennsyl vania, about frightening Stonewall Jackson to death.
