Of the ordinary dead letters forwarded from the office, about 84 per cent. were delivered, and of the valuable dead letters about 80 per cent were delivered. A SEEDY railroad officer named Fisk, residing in IkTew York, and con nected with the Erie mad seems hi be hard up for Money. He does not choose to work and delve for the thy stuff" like other mortals, but straightway goes and sues the NeW York Tribune for defamation of char acter, laying his damages at the mod (est sum $lOO,OOO. The Tribune hum article a week- or so ago, on the Erie railroad war, said that a rumor was then current that Mr. Fisk and an 'other person connected with the Erie I road, had posed themselves of the - 1 available assets of the company and loft for parts unknown. This turned ea to be a mistake, and. now Fisk rashes into the courts end demands a sum of money from the s eilitor suffi cient to make him rich for life. We venture to predict that when the case is tried, and a venlict rendered, it.will be Ustvrtained' tl)t Fisk bus made but little, if anything, out of the opera tion. • Two Importsuit murdeVrhtls were concluded last week, one* a New York and the other Ina Musaaehusetta court. Oen. Cole, about one year ago kill ed u very - prominent politician of New York named liiimek for the se duction of his wife, while the former was in the army. Gen. C. was arres tal, put hi jail, and the case was brought before a Jury some months ago, but they foiled to agree.. The prisoner Was then remanded, and the case brought up a second time a cou ple of Ouks. ago. The verdict of the Jury was one ofacqultal, and the pris oner was discharged. Deacon Andrews hitherto regarded as a very upright man, of Plymouth, bor Most, named achusit llo til. h n iv a ms.. It is .rrested allege a d the feiv deed was committed with the expec tation of coining into posseision of Holme's estate. After a lobg and tee cloud trial, Andrews was convicted of mgt-slaughter and sent to the Site prison for twenty years. To the exclusion of other matter that wouldjbe more' intteresting to the general reader, well& week pub lish the last annual message of Pres ident Johnson. We would not give it the space it occupies were it not Ile the filet thatmany of our coun try readers are not favored with daily papers, and if they do not meet with the me age in the - Argus, they will not see it at all. The message itself is well writer, but contains some financial theories that are at war with the best inter ests of the Government. As usual he denounces the reconstruction acts of Cougrn4s, urges -the reprnl of the civil, tenure bill, and cons ndeli by, recommentfing - a change its the man ner of electing President, Vice Pres ident and Senators of the United States, and idso in the term of office of the Judges of the Supreme Court. ;When the message was being read In the Senate, objection Willi made by Senaton (itinnes.s of California on ac count of Its objectionable matter, when its further reading was dispens ed with until the next day. . Tut: report of General Reynolds, commanding in Texits,Mitainssome Scoop truths. It is terse and to the iskintottul shows the netwesity of hold ing Texas by military law. Speak ing of the Ku-Klux Klan, the Gen 'end states: "The precise object of thesuorganizations cannot be remit ly explained, but seems in this State to be to disarm, rob and in many cat es murder Union men and mltroes and, as necttsion may offer, murder United States officers and soldiers; also, to intimidate every one who knows anything of the organization but who will not Join it. The civil law east of the Trinity river is almost a dead letter. In sUlne counties the cot it officers are all, or a, portion of them, members of the Klan." At the political meetings in sever al counties "men have been indicated byduune from the speaker's stand as those selected for murder. The men thus pointed out have no sours' left them but to leave their !lonics or be murdered on the first convenient op portunity. 'the funnier of lar,,r o eS b 3 l 4 .lCOMlllialaS to render it impassi ble to keep an aceuraki. account of them." WP suggest that this condition of attain+ in Texas tails for prompt 84- tlon on the part of our Executive power: A commission should Ic ap pointed to consider the condition of the State and report upon itl In wee of the confirmation of Cie lend Reynolds' report; which is wi 'mitt doubt, from what we know, correct, Texeek should at once ho tunics' 'over to military rule. This will lii: the quickest method to restore it to peace and prosperity. Nothing but inex orable Military last• will produce qui et there,- and the quicker it, is put in force the better for our whole South western country, which is ;gully- .a f 11/c ted by this Texan etet-th . rout gOW erlllllWllt. • THE 'Detticidatt . Vidittlget, lowa, undertook it the ekiction on the lid of Nosiettillsr to - play ofta pnwtical joke on an intelligent negro of that place, by nominating anti nesting him njustice of the Yeam. It hasainm been ascertained that by the adopklon Of the_ ante :to the constitution of that State, giving negrote the ballot, a result that the Democracy little expected, he Veld gibie to the office. He now publish es a card utterly refusing to hold or fill any office which. was or ever will he (marred upon him by the Demo cratic party. The negro, he seems to think, fills a - pretty low place in the social Fade but not low enough still to serve the Democraey as one of their officers. Tim "Beaver _Radical' lure at length made Its apPearance.• • It is printed In quarto form, contains a number of interesting original arti cle, and tal together makes; a very creditable:exhibition. • We,3 no response to make - to the im pertinent flings in its editors salutatory,'. We have no epithet to hurl back In return for the Coarse ono thrown at us. We have no person al quarrel with Mr.' Quay or with any of the three or four who are knowrqo be ideatified with him In his new. movement, either 'sympa thetically or otherwise. We shall seek none—shall engage in none. But we Intend to wage war upon all "close • corporations" existing here and throughouathe State—hpon eve ry attempt to make the Republican party subservient to base and selfish purpooe3 upon every scheme, or "ring" or "clique" intended to crowd off worthy and competent men In or der to make way for partizan favor ites—but particularly do we intend to wage Untiring war upon that infa mous practice of buying, selling, trading rind intriguing, connecting it self with nearly every position, from the lowest to the highest—which en ters every convention and every Dis-p trio conference-4hich Siets upy candidate in advance of an expression from the people—which' makes up the "slate" before the election has been held, and which parcels out the offices to particular favorites tong be fore the formal- organization of the State Legislaturea practice, and an vil which has grown Into such frightful proportions and carried on so extensively and so shamelessly, that unless speedily trodden under foot will prove the dtstructiou g the party. This is a duty we owe re our, salve', to our party friends and to the public. We shall perform it we trust not roughly, not unbecomingly, but firmly, decorously, unshrinking- Iy, be the consequence; to us person ally what they may. And mark, we are not to be charged with undue ' personalities. Those who aspire to be the leaders of the party, who are continually traveling to and fro, look ing after its interests, seeking to make its nominations, endeavoring to con trol its movements, and dispensing its patronage, belong to the public, and their acts, as they connect them selves with the party are limper subjects of cTiticiarn and ; animadver sion. If the "Radical" is to "supply a want recognized io the community" why was not that "want" sooner dis covered? Why were not the power. erormy—nrrailaihsiug - Wilen mr. Quay and his sympathizing friends had control of the Argus? Why So much innifteren*then, and no much enter prise now? Suppose that at' ither of those periods a new paper project had been broached, as perhaps It might have been done with proprie ty, what would have been the result? Mr. Quay and his friends would have sprung to arms at once—the alarm wonld have been sounded far and wide; and the movement de= nounced ay , treasonable to the party. Then thell ox would have been gur- If the Argue under our manage ment has bOn conducted with kss tact and less ability than under_ the auspi ces of MeSsrs Quay, Imbrie, Rutan and Tayir, why has its circulation without any special effort on ()upset been so largely increased? At the very outstart we believed. the con templated paper to be a fire-brand thiown 'into the party—a disorgan izing movement—an act of hostility to us-and every step in theundertak ing—the dtvlarations that have been made, and the IIIeIMS and threats made use of to drive us out of the Ar gus, all tend Co show that the project was not Origitucted for the good of the party, but for the promotion of purposes ? tit home and abroad, which for the time being tun only be left to public conjecture. • The C I S. Senatorship , 'rho "Radical" luis an amusing ar ticle on the U. S. Senatorship. It speaks of "yiegs," "cliques," "com bhiations," and "political specula tors" with' a demureness and simplic ity truly charming. Now, we trust Mr. Quay not take it antis if we remind the ivatlet that he is the recognized head of the western branch cif the "Philadelphia Ring" himself," and that for months past he has been almost continually on tint wing, and using_ every energy to fasten Mr. Kemble upon the people of Pennsyl 7 vania as their next U, S. Senator. Several Weeks ago a city terrespon dent of the Armstrong Repuldinua in a fluttering notice of him made use of this 'waited language : "Col. tinny is playing a ; strong game for his friend Kemble. ' Kern ble's money and Quay's brains will be hard to beat." Being in Philadelphian shoL time Since, we *ere ltillaYAli to learn that in every .Mleulation that was , Mode our Bethitor and Representative were invariably. ranged ainong the sup. porters of. Mr. Kemble. We have good authority fur stating that the use thus made of Mr. Nicholson's mime was wholly unauthorized. Now who is it that thus arstunes to speak the :voice of Beaver county? Who has been guilty of this attempt to barter off our Representative. If Mr. Kemble's chances have since fa ded-into thin air, and Thomson, the "Railway King," refuses to be a can didate, It becomes highly interesting to know what disposition tuts been made of our (saity in the new "Mid" that has been necessitated. Bus it;been left firm td vote for, a unalidate of standing, !Brims and integrity, orhas It been trftnsfemd ..to some other inemberof the "ring" whiz-4e name will be developed at the 'propitious Morirent? ; We Ilan see. Which Is Right. The "Radical" states "by author- RS''' that O . - -Edgar Thomson Ifs not ' candidate , Senator, We dO not like to - too suspielmitts,.but we really fear this is an attempt , to throw (hist into the public eye, and lull the people to sleep, .until some trap is ready to be sprung. For the Pittsburgh "Post", on the other hand "understands positirely. thni Mr. Thomson will not decline senatorial honors, which means he wilt reach for them," and that "there is: more in this than may gppotar on the sur face." The Cbnunaried,.with !nearly equal positivencis declares "that Mr. Thomson will be premed withl all the determination the "Ring" that.haa been made up tan summon:" If the latter assumptions are well founded, it exhibits a state of Madam really startling. Ever, since the sue cesdul dodge of Mr. Seymour,lin pro curing his nomination, though the most persistent declining; scheming Republicans have been eager to fol low, the pernic:lous example. What is therein the antecedents or sur roundings of Mr. Thomson to l induos the Republican party of Pennsylva nia to clothe him with Senatorial fimetteas ? He is no Itepuhllmn— does not pretend to be. 'Hit. pre suinption is that he voted fort Grant —so did thotumnds of other Democrats. There can be but one ansner: was put forward either to secure the distribution of his favors among a privileged class, or for the purpose of giving the Pennsylvania Central a wider field of operations. It would seem, latterly, as though mtaprind pled men cialmeda preemption right to use the party as a mere Pia, PPet— use it for their own aggrandizement —and tarry it whithersoever they willed. Unless the people' speedily arise in their might, and shake elf these birds of prey, we fear its day of usefulness ilfl4 passed. This sys tem of trading and bartering, and buying and selling, hasbecome so ex tensive and so shameless, that 'it hangs ' liken mill-stone around the 'neck of the party; and had, it not been for the stupidity of the Democra l tie Con vention at New York, and time great popularity ofGenend Grant, it would have gone down under the heavy load. • I I Our only hope for the preservation of the Republican party lief in time incoming administration, of General Grant. We have an abiding confi dence that he will scatter thei hungry vultures that will soon gather around him—that unless deceived , lie will appoint none but tried, wo y amen to office, and that under his judicious lead, the partywill be brought hack to Its earlier: and better days. • Relative Rights, de. Certainly no (Me that wearoaware of questions the right to establish another republican paper in this place. An individual or ind viduals, may follow their inclination. 4, and do whatever may seem meet to them. The law however, or - public senti ment, reserves the opposite right to visit punishment or displeasure. The right, then, to start th i e "Radi cal" being undisputed, the equal rightbelongs to the public to inquire into the motive, examine the sur roundings, and scrutinize theactions and movements of those who bring It into existence. If the.radtive boa' faxxl unellutonframl=l7dmitring — of caprice, or if personal enmity, or for the attainment of sordid dr selfish ends, it should be repudiated by all honest and right-thinking men. We venture to say that threN not an untamed Republican in the county of BeaVer, who believes for a moment, that It was originated as a egitimate business undertaking,, or llntealled to subserve the interests of the public or of the party. Circum stances of an almost conclusive char acter, show that It was dedgned for the accomplishinent of priVate and personal ends.

The SecreMl7,also recommends that the four • of Veteran Reser ves, be dis .officers unfit for service to be "r.l • s , and others to be transferred to active regiments.

The estimated deficiencies for the current year are, however' $l3,- 975,000. In speaking of the Indian war, Secretary Schofield says it is Proved beyond 'dispute • that it was begun by the Indians without any provocation whatever. Its ohlect is supposed to be the abandonment of the Smoky 11111 route, which are the bed hunting grounds in America, and the Secretary end° .rzies' General Sherman's remedy to secure peace.-- namely?, coercion.

THE CUBAN INSURREC TION A dispatch. from Washington to the Pittsburgh Cbmmercial dated Dee. 14th, bas this concerning Cuban diking A very lively interest Is felt here among some of the most prominent persons In public life at the late Indications of RUCCCS4 attend: ing'the operations of the insurgents In Cuba. Private Information to some of the parties is.to the effect that the putlished accounts are wholly one sided, end that the revo lutionists are frar stronger than the public hasteen Made to believe here. The Interest felt here arises from cer tain consultations held and promises sought for and given by leading Congressmen during last winter.— It seems that the whole plan of the revolution was made known here aboutthe middle of last session, and ninny, of Its features agreed upon. Several persons engaged in the move ment were, in constant- communica tion for a number' of weeks concern ing the. subject. The.utmost secrecy was mimed, and only those who could be depended upon were made aware of the plans. The principal object of the agent's investigations here was to ascertain whether, in case a revolution could be success fully' carried on for a time, Congrms could be induced to 'recognize a Republican Government. It is un 'der:stood that the agents were fully satisfied that this recognition could bo secured. Thd persons thus acting as agents were Americans, some of them ex-army officers. It is under stood that they have since been very busy in inducing Americans to go quietly to Ma and take part In the revolution. • How Tranogressors are Iliad° An exchange in alluding to the fact thattlarele* rowdies and young bul lies are frequently . transformed into positive murderers, draws this graph ic picture of the process, which will be recognized by every one as faithful to a shadow. The boy who lurks and lounges a bout with a gang, annoying fainilies; or who Indulges in the wicked habit of 'mulling persons who hose by his lounging place, or in assaulting peo ple who give no offence, or who thinks it the proper sort of thing to 'take his drink when lie is out for a spree' at night or on Sunday, is in constant danger ofJust the kind of rows and broils that end in blemished and mur der. At one' nd of his career is this habitual lounging, loafing, disorder,' dissipation or ruffitmism, and at the other, if he keeps on in the same path is the prison or the gallows. If the prisoners in the Western Penitentiary were interrogated, the greater portion of them would neknowledo that in the outset they meant no harm, but were gradually led from one excess to another by e• vii associates. This picture cannot be too often impressed upon the youths who are in the habit offiaserublingmal seeking amusements in gangs. The boy who forms a friendship with ono or two mates possibly may preserve himself from evil influences, but the boy who permits himself to be influ enced by a crowd pays a heavy penal ty. Better no company*at all than bad company. But if human beings =mot have the :associations they should, they will take up with such as they Call Wt.—Pit/A. (19»i. The folding and pasting glepartment Legislature has generally been regard ed as a convenient place in which to stow away importunate' politicians and plate-seekers at the public ex pense. The cost of this department annually is between forty and filly thousand dolligrs. Mes Air. Rauch and Coehntn,editors of Ibther Abraham, a republican weekly published at Lanai ter, pruptise to the ensuing Legislature to do the pasting and fold ing of the session for the sum of live thousand dollars, and to enter; into bonds of twenty thousand llollgua, for the faithful performance of the contract if furnished them. They say to the Legislature: "Now, gentlemen, here is a bid, we respectfully submit, for vour consid eration, that it is your duty to give us the contract, unless some one else should `go better' by offering to do it fur less, In which case we should have notice, and a chance to come down yet lower, if necessary, to se (Aire the job.

At this price, we would con.. der ourselves duly provided:for. Indeed, at five thousand dollars there is yet some money In it—enough, perhaps, for a small 'divvy.' " Vote for President.
