"Terrible Plot l"—Whew I That well' known mourner over the grave of the late lamented JOHN Bnowx, - otherwise known as the 6n. cirmati Gaulle, has just published the soul-harrowing and blood-freezing de taile4of a plot most diabolical to Repu diate the Public , Debt. The account is along one, but it iz; so innocently ,interesting that we, nevertheless incline to make a summary of its contenla. Tie l fore doing so, however, we premise by saying that tip whole thing is a. first clasa April tool of the Federal au thorities for the month of January. And the more the pity ; for we cannot conceive of a more holy work for pa triots;or."conspirators" just now than the accomplishment of a successful plan or plot by which li thewhole bur den of lepti thefts, in the shape of Taxatiou, could)* overthrown. But to the narrative. It Boerne that certain chap by the name of KIN°, who hails from some obscure town in Kentucky, but who conceived the idea that he- was chock full of-"develorl. Mettle" and "startling confessions," be took himself art time ainee_th_the United States Marshal of Cincinnati, and made oath to the statement that a society exisi g al, with heatbrynarters in New York, and a capitol of only twen ty million of dollars, for the purpose of breaking down the greenbacks, buy• ing up a few thousand tone of gold doubloons and eagles, embarrassing fi nance, throwing the continent into con fusion, strangling the public credit, and (ora t ing repudiation. This society, lie says, is presided over by that avv• ful traitor FRANK P. Itt.nts, who, it seems, is at the_ bottom of every terri ble nightinare according to the Jaco bins. (Frank ought not to scare these Reptibl icans an neceusardy A fter hav• ing "sworn and subscribed" to this statethent, the visionary King of Kew Lucky laid back to observe its effect on the pub. fures. As was ta be ev peeled, they got terribly excited over the conspiracy, and forthwith tele graphed to Washington. GRANT smok ed his cigar mid thought about it, and sent back further instructions, more mint be got out of KING. So the "pump - of recognizing authority was applied, and at every oscillation of the handle Ki i, disrburged Itotrorri ii horrors—more Of it and worse. Truly things began to look serious. Ills next developments laid things bare. The (evenly mations capital of the large band of traitors was ;live:sled in the purchase of the g,Tertilmick plates out of the treasury at Washington, and presses, and that the tettitors were even then printing genuine fully signed greenbacks by the ton in a certain 5. story building in the city of New York ; that as soon as they got as many ship loads printed as they wanted, they would go to work all at once, and buy up all the gold in the country and lehve the_country, plot broke, on it paper basis. Oh I hor orl This was a smashei I "i r k:nough t " tliought. GRAN T so he sent on lor the King of Kenna. ky ; hut that eccentric rooster was too full or "antolatteling iletelopments to - let the authorities sutler Inc the want of something to think of. "Why, sirs, said he, "the conspirators have bought the plates from one of JouNsos•s trews ury appointees, and lie has taken ntot.k and is now—even now—ouperintelid ing the printing." ''Al, I Come on, says On ttir ; ai(d the King of Ken tucky, all too willing to serve his cotin try'North now as he hid served it, South fileW years ago, and ever ready for a trippy t er _dm country at the Go it ertitnent's expense, took up hie carpet sack and brushing the bloody dust front his regenerated hoots, crossed the Ohio and boarded the iron horse for Wash ington—for what 7..

There 'is no important llection immediately at hand and hence we do not expect to hear-much more ooncern• ing the "Plot to Repudiate the Public Debt," if not to throw the monetary planet of its shimplaster axis. " About Mining Senator Baoximzxn,of Carbon coun fj-r7 we learn from the Natoli Clunk Times, is making an effort to secure the passage of a general bill for the bet ter regulation of mining operations and for the protection of the miners, whose duty it is to labor within the boweli of the earth. If the lenator succeeds in this laudable endeavor, and particular ly in thtt 'portion of it which relates to the protktion of the llres of the nii - - ners, he will have accomplished some thing to be proud of and have earned for himself the gratitude of the people. The calamity at Avondale not lopg ago, and the more recent one et-- have made the public mind particular. Iv sensitive upon tine subject, and there is a demand for some legislation that willsecure to these men at least the same immunity from danger that is en• joyed by laborers in other vocations. The blood of the murdered men at Avondale cries up to Clod from the gritind, nail if the heartless coal mo nopolies, whose wealth and fatness spring, from the sweat and muscle of the men who go dowa into the earth to dig out the black 111a814e8 so neces sal•y to our happiness and comfort, pay no attention to that fearful warning, they will assuredly fad the vengeance of Hcavell. And our legislators will likewise be equally guilty if they ne glect to place upon the side of the miners the protecting arm of the law. Mining c y ompanies 11111filt be made to so construct. their mines that the lives of the persons engaged in them will be safe. When men, compelled by the neckssity of living and providing for their families, venture down hundreds of feet below the surfacchf the ground, they should at least have the comfort of knowing that their lives are secure, so far as the toresight and ingenuity of man can make them so. A nil compa nies should be mnde to do this. and to know that if any more such accidents occur as those to ti hiN t h we have al luded, the law will not hold them guilt lens. Hence, we are pleased to know that Senator BROADII EA II has taken the initiatory etepe iu this matter, the more so, as he is an extensive coal dealer himself. owning mines and em ploying miners. We trust he will urge the question to a happy COTllitlllinnution, and empire to the miners of J'ennsyl• violin exemption from unexpected and calamitous accidents. By so doing, his senatorial course will be crowned with honor, and he will ham() the sat- isfaction that a clear conscience al• ways gives a man when it whispers to him that he has not lived in vain. "Loyalty." . - A few miserable Ireptirs, with much impertinence; and soliiii the else of mustarti seed, have .come" to believe that "loyalty" is centered ,in them, and that mbody can love his country and wish it well wlio it; not a t;loyal" pup. py. We thank God that the Demo• Critic party is not and never will be loyal! Loyalty is a..ttiecies of abject . nese and humility of person and spirit which no sovereign Democrat can ever entertain. We owe loyalty to no par. ty, man, creature or thing on the earth or uhder the I - leavens. Allesi t ance to the laws, veneration for God, respect for virtue and the opinions of men is as near to "loyalty" as a Democrat can come. We are the subjects of no ruler, the slave of no slave-driver, but Detnocrific freemen, loving our coun try when right, and demanding that it shall never be otherwise. We owe "loyalty" to"nothing, and we Rityp the poor things who do. Loyalty is a word decidedly anti-American. n was good stock for rascals in he days of GEORGE the Third and of ABRAnAi LINCOLN, but it won't do to leave for a legacy to one's children in-free Ameri ca. "Loyalty" burnt down the wid ow's house over the heads 'of her or phan children ; it massacred men and women i000ld•blood at the dead of the night ; it dragged the defenceless to' bastiles; it plundered happy homes of unresisting people; it made hell-hounds of the wronged' and hell itself of the fairest hind in the world; it robbed the the people's premises and the. people's treasuries; it made a despotism of the government; it trampled the constitu tion, law and precedent; it has rioted, in a carnival o&blood and misery, and left behind it nothing to commend it. tiltqf loyacy, doubt.l4ier is the only place we have heard oftbat is worthy to enjoy the diabolical senti ment. One Thousand Millions Per Annum This is the estimated l oan to the working, producing people of this country,each year, under the operations of that dastard robbery of the poor called the TAatrr.

One thousand millions of dollars wrung from th• horny hands of honest toil for the benefit of great, heartless corporations, the owners of which live in idle and extravagant luxury and lord it over the people as the Feudal Lords of Britain did One thousand millions of dollars of unjust levy upon the necessaries which the poor toilers consume to bUilti up the rich and to impoverish the poor t In the name of common sense ! will the people never learn thesimplest lee• sons of lite ? Do they not see plainly that they, one and all, each and the other, pay the tariffs ? Can they not feel that they pay the taxes and tythes laid upon them? Are we a nation of fools and knaves, that we should sub• mit to be plundered year after year? flow long is this tariff villainy to be practiced—till a few men own the whole countryoand we, the people, be- come aliens, vagrants, and pauperl in the land of our nativity? ' The Eastern Question Preparations are apparently being diligently made by the Viceroy or khedive of Egypt to put that country iii a conditiou to defend itself against the Ottoman Empire. We see it stated Occasionally that some of the well:known general officers of the late war in this country, on both rides, have- accepted commissions in the Egyptian service against Turkey. Had some of those from )he North, in the late war at home, done so 'some years ago, ti number of Southern hen and lurkey roosts would not have been_ invailed • by their aid. If TUrkey feels anxious about their en liatinent in arms, under the Vicetoy, she has only to show these valian'ts the rear entrance to the houses of non•combattants, wo nithn and children, and the Ottoman Empire will live, for all the harm they can do it I Or, again, if the Khedive of Egypt would overcome the Sublime Porte, all he has to do, is to convince his Yankee officers that Sublime Port is something 'goal Co drink without, having to pay for it, and that the op. ponent of Egypt is a gobbler off rooeti and he will find 'them ready to move "on to Richmond" by that line—not otherwise! But. we need not continue upon a subject, the truth and point of which every bOdy kniowa, and that ie that a Yankee officer would rather steal than tight. • 4 ,, ~ , ~. tx maz4 , , The Eastern question, by the Way, is one destined to absorb the interest of the w hole world in a short time. War almdst certain to occur - between Egypt and the Turkoman government at Constantinople. The Viceroy has offended the Sultan by his independ ence,. He does not hear that deport nuen toward the conqueror of Egypt which the crescent demands, and since the completion of the Suez canal 'the Viceroy, is less likely to kneel before his old master:, And it has been ru mored at intervals during the past: two years that large quantities of improved arms and warlike material have been made in this country for the Viceroy, and stealthily landed in the land of the Simoon and the Arab. An issue at arum between the bitter self conceited Turk, on the one hand, and the Europe anizing Egyptian on the other, will be' one of mere speculation as to the re sult,ior the odds in numbers and pow er lie withlhe first.

Our attention has been called to article in the Pittsburg Commercial of the 21st inst., under the title of—" Co llege of the Barrens, otherwise our State Agricultural College"—which seems to us a remodeled addition of a libelous artieles.which in August 1868 appeared in the Press of Philadelphia, over the signature of "Casual °beer. ver"the authorship► of which was then attributed to one FRANCIS Pow tea A.

The oc cupation of this FRANCIS FOWLIR, prior to his connection with the College, had been that of a correspondent for the newspaper press, which occupation lie must have resumed.
