We intend to giva other instances in duo course of time., This week, however, we regret to say, our duty as a public Journalist obliges us to lay before our readers, not a triumph, but a defeat which our chivalrous little neighbOr sustained some time ago in the east ern portion of the State: Early in 1868 the friends of Governor Curtin in\ Pennsylvania began to move in his behalf for the Vice Presidency. Ho was found to be the almost unani mous choice of the Republican party of this State for that office. In the selection of district "delegatca to the' nominating convention at Chicago Mr. Quay was not antongthefavored ones. He then made an effort to have himself chosen as one of the delegates at large for Pennsylvania to that Con- . vention. Governor Curtin heard of this, and promptly said "No," and that monosyllable settled the delegate at large gulestion so far as Mr. Quay was concerned. Thd Governor no doubt, hada veep distinct recollection of how M. S. Q. had been successful, while ho (Curtin).had suffered defeat, in the Speakership and Senatorial um tests of the year befOre, and ho was there fore decided ly unwilling to aguin trust his political interests,directly or hidirectly, in Mr. Quay's hands. We need scarcely say that the Governor's action in the matter was heartily ap proved by his Intimate personal friends. Jr Is stated that on Thursday last orders were Issued to the officers com manding the troops stationed at the various forts in New York harbor to hold their forces in readiness to move next day, supplied with t*days ra tions, TheQuartermaster'sand Com miamy Departments were busily en gaged ou Wednesday in preparing for this mysterious movement, the direction and destination of which are kept profoundly secret. Similar' orders were issued to the officers at New London, Conn.,, and Sackett's Harbor, N. Y. There are about &- teen thousand troops in the fortiffixt tions of New York. -It is surmised that this movement of troops is to capture a gathering of men which are believed to have form ed a rendezvous preparatory for a Fenian raid on Canada. Some time ago General O'Neal, commander of the Fenian forces, issued an order to the brotherhood to the effect that "before another winter has pitssal away decisive measures would be re sorted to by the Fenian force; to achieve the object of the brother hood." For the past two months great activity has existed at the Fen lan headquarters in New York and other eities,and immense numbei's of men have been enlisted, who !lave been assured that before long they would find work to do in achieving the independence of Ireland: It is coat:maw - that the troops are to be im mediately transported to the Cana dim border in order to check mate the possible Fenian raid. Another re port is to the effect that the troops are to capture another Cuban expedi tion which has been {gathering in large force not many miles distant from New York pity. The troops left their quarters early Friday morn ing for their destination. • TILE battle of the people with the corruptionists is to be fought out at Harrisburg on the assembling of the tegislature. The " unexpended bal ance" is worth to the ring somewhere between one and two hundred thous. and dollars annually. The money should go into the treasury and not the pockets of individuals. It will be seen at once what the significance of the " Mackey slate" proclaimed by the Beaver Badieut, is the head of the ring in this Interest is " Don" Cam eron, who has set himself up at Har risburg to control the Legislature and distribute the offices, Money and his promises put ti " - Macke y slate" through last winter, whether his promises will go as we time as they did then, remains to 'be seen. Some there are, we conclude, who will l control ate to accept them again. But tting th of the "unexpen ed balance" another year, " Don's" ring daunt on putting through the infamous tax bill which tidied in their hands last year. A more corrupt combination, a " ring" for more infamous purposes, has not existed since the days.of the Forty Thieves. It even beats the Erie ring. It is this that the people will have to fight at the opening of the session. No man who thinks he has a future will give It support. —The Pillsentrgh thinmerrial.

Thirty five thousand barrels of whisky were seized and thirteen distilleries were either destroyed or captured. The captured stills were stored in the Na vy Yard. : The stills, worms, pumps, captured are valued at several thousand dollars.

An anonymous correspondent of the "likuvEn Annus," who signs himself "Lookout," under date of -Nov. 20th '69, makes an attack upon, Dr. Shurkick and myself that seems to nreatre some notice. lam not In the habit of replying to 'cowardly scribblers; who hide themselves in this way, but many reasons Induce me to do so in this instance. There has been a persistent effort by . one of the anonymous correspondents (tribe 'Midas,' as well as by others to plare me In a false position on the question of Stiiie Treasurer, ever since our County Convention: I desire to say now'lrrhat all know, that no pledges were ever asked, and none were ever nutdetY me, to vote for this or that man for State Treasurer. No Con ventiqp, Conference Committee or public meeting ever called fora pledge and no candidate nor the friends of candidates ever endeavored to extinct a premise. I voluntariallV stated more thanmaxt, that I would vote : for Gen. Irwin; but beyond that, am un der no obligations to do so. Igo to the capitol free to fulfil; in letter and spirit my official oath, and net and vote upon all questions for the best interests of my constituents, and the Commonwealth. I expect to vote for Gen. Irwin, and nothing but the per -1 sistent assaults otitis professed friends will change my purpose. They may render it impossible for me to do tie consistent with my self respect, In which event I will undoubtedly vote against him. I do not believe how ever, that their attacks upon me and my friends are Wide with his knowl edge and approval:* I supported him warmly one year ago, when I have no doubt this correspondent like oth , ers of - his class, have hoped for, and rejoiced over his defeat. Then the editor of the Radical and myself dif fered widely and strongly on that question, and may de so again. Of the dispatch to Mr. Mackey, 'neither Dr..Slirirlock or myself knew any thing, and 1 ant confident It did not refer to us. 1 can say in all truthful nes, that Col. Quay never asked me to support Mr. Mackey in:any event. and that lie knew all the time of my friendship for, and intended support of, General Irwin. The Rculicalnev or stated teat Dr. Shurlock and my self were for Mackey,. and in this "Lookout" writes falsely. I know nothing of a midnight caucus, and have attended no cauctmes of ; any 1 kind, at any hour, since the elec tion. Dr. Shurlock and myself Went East okbuSiness, and only 'so hap - pened, The editor of the Radical went at theliame time. There was nothing said or - done by either of us, or by any one else so far as I know at that time, that At" intriulPAl or could nessi My affect the prospects of Gen. Irwin in the remotest degree. I have now stated my position.om that question so plainly that I cannot be misunderstood, I think. 1 run pledged to the gentlemen who placed me in tiomination, in favor of a change of the law relating to the funds In the hands of the Treasurer, and in favor of retrenchMent and re form in all the branches of the State Govunment. These pledge I shall endcutior to redeem, and ask only to be judged by my record. Thee at tacks upon me began immediately, —the object being to prevent my nomination—then to secure my'defea t at the election, nud now to hedge up my way and, in the end, ruin my rep utation should I exercise the right of a freenian,or run contrary to the vary ing whims of my enemies. This per secution has been persistent and re lentle for a long time, and I 401 only account for it by supposing li have been and am in sonic one's way. If this is so, it could not be avoided, and the people are . r4ensible for it, be cause they seem to have been on my side. I know that my actions will be as constantly misrepresented as my intentions have been; but, all I ask Is, that I be judged by what 1110, not what my enemies say I intend doing; and the end will show wheth er enemies or friends have been nu* disappointed. J. S. RUTAN Beaver, Nov. 30, 1869. Mn. EDITOR: WaS you tickled any with the very beautiful pitxv of acting by Mr. Quay rind correr pondent "One of the People," in the last Radical! The correspondent, who is an adopt at wire-pulling, and who has been very industrious iii stirring out Mr. Henry, verrgravely remark.. that, "Mr. IL will be nomi nated even if the Radicat and Am; us cliques Join, for the people have had enough of cliques." now refreshing this sentence, coming as it does from the right hand man of the "Head Centre," and then, with what charming simplicity, the editor adds his foot-note, "We will see about this when the time comes." Sublime strategy! Wonderful craftiness ! A man with half an eye run see through that flimsy disguise. Why, It is no torious in this community that Mr. Henry is ardently supported by Mr. Quay and a few of his friends—that they have been exceedingly anxious to get him thus early on the track— and arc working secretly but very industriously in his behalf. One well. versed in the mysteries of the "inner circle," being asked a day or two ago, why Mr. Quay, and some of his most intimate friends, who had been hstunding Mr. Henry so mereilessly . forlseveral years, were now so eara 7 est In his support, very promptly re plied that, "it was for the purpose or defeating WeyantL" "Opposed by both the Beaver clique 4" is good; very good!—but "we will see about - this when the time comes" is better "Par nogile fratrans"—(o,noble pain of brothers). Well may Mr., Henry exelalm—"Save me from my (newly found) friends!" Quiz. Giant/ iiroist Under. Enrron Anous : The defiant hoist of Mr. Quay that "the Mackey slate is going through," and that "no can didate for - Speaker . -hostile -to the aforesaid_ slate can bo chosen," has set me to 'po' ndering- whether he , IS hot already getting -ready to smash, 'the slate:himself, and heave Mackey Overboard!' '.Mr. Q. is a very bold schemer,bnt he has never been known before to unveil his real plans; and it is getting to be a somewhat common remark, East, that when he wishes to kill off any one, • he turns in with all his might, and gives him a seem ingly hearty support., Everybody supposed, until nearly the winding up of the strtrMe, that ho was the unflinching friend of Gen. Irwin for State Treasurer.. Every one suppbs ed that he was sincerely in faVor of himself for Speaker, and enthusiasti cally enlisted for Gov. Curtin as U. S. - Senator—yet recent develope ments point strongly to the basest treachery in all of these directions. When ho was printing those splendid articles in the /loan/ in advocacy of Curtin forli position in Grant's Cab inet, all of his readers supposed they were the' outgushings of a genuine friendship, but the irnpression is now strong in the public mind, that he was -In sympathy with the movement to kill cfff Curtin by urgineDon' Carn-• eron (who was a "man after his own heart," as expressed in the Radical about that time,) for tire Secretary ship of the Treasury, Cale - elating with unerring certainty, that hitho bitter tight that] would ensue between the rival fitetions; both would be cast aside, and a third man adopted. Therefore, Mr. 3lnckey, and can didates for thehpeakership, and C.'on gn..sional aspirants,-all ye; who aro now patronized by, and basking in the sails of Mr. Quay, keep your eyes wide open, for, in a moment you yot not of, "ha the twinkling of an eye," he may take a sudden notion to sell you out, pocket the tin, and bring out in lieu of yourselves, men more "after his own heart." MissacvAity RIDGE. EkITOIL ARGUS : A Radical mr respondent, ridsadling himself "One of the people," Is desperate hard on our friend,Mikc Weyand—hot willing to credit him with any merit what ever, except as ni mere clerk. Mike ought to get down on his'knees in a spirit ofthankfulneSs, that this little trilleof piaise was not also with-held from him. I happen to think of an other little' thing to his credit, and that Is, that no .difference how badly treated by pretended friends, when ever the political battle opens, he never fallera for a moment, but goes into the thickest of the tight, and never takes oil the harness until the truggle is over. And further wheth er tit for Congress or not, I think of another little item to his credit. A year ego; Samuel B. ,Wilson and his Democratic friends, sent a written challenge to Mr: Quay and his cor repqndqnt, (who were running the sArty outside of the County Commit tee) but from some muse or other they failed, to take any 'notice of It. But shortly afterwards, when a. ver bal challenge was kiven by Wilson to Weyand, the latter took it up at once without preparation, and without prior notice. 110 v hesustained him, self, andhow he defended the dtepu b- Baal cause, "One of the people" can find out by coming over to PILES OF Gorax—The transfer of the sub treasury at New York from ffeuerat Butterfield toSenatorFolger has neceasitated the. counting of the gold in, the vaults. The reporters thus got a glimpse at thogovermnent strong box and the piles of gold therein, ind deserilxxl them as fol lows : "The: vaults of the sub treasury are two in number and 'situates' on the main floor of t he' bnilding. The sides; and roof pf each are eight feet of granite masonary and two.feet of iron plates, lletween the plates are musket balls laid in loose. ;The floor is thirty feet of masonary and two feet of Iron- plates. Between also with a layer of musket' balls. Each vault is closed by four iron doors weighing two tons each, and fastened by two combination locks to each door. The three inner doors are locked without a 'key, while the locks on the outer ones are operated by means of an instrument about an inch long by half an inch wide, which may be carried in a vest poc ket. Ellett vault is about twelve feet square. 'On the sides of each apart ment are built one hundred and twenty Chests of iron, each of the capacity of a quarter of a million in gold coin. Each chest when full is closed by an iron door, and fastened with a lock which is sealed so that the door cannot be tampered with without breaking the 'seal. • '"At present there was. about s7:s,- 000,000 in gild coin and about $lO,- 000 in silver contained in about FAS of-the 240 chests. The "loose cash" is in boxes, places' by the respective tellers in the vaults each night after the close of the dav's business. ' "Many people are under the itn preLmion that each piece of coin is counted separately in these examina tions, but a little reflection will con vince.them that this iSan error. 'One anus could scarcely count $lOO,OOO on au averagei in a day, and to examine at this rate would consume too much time,- nor Would it be necessary. Each denomination otgold is nteked separately, and the bag labeled with alag, showing the character of the coin and the amount.- In the process of counting one of .the sealed chests Will be opened, the contents carried oh trucks into the gold room, and then one bag will be. counted, and the remainder of the same denomin salons Weighed against it in accurate ly adjusted scales. Should any per ceptible difference in weight be noted 'the contents of the deficient bag will be' ounted, and thus , any error will be guarded against. Should nothing occur, to prevent the, examination will progreis at the' rate or sido,ooo,- 000 per, day."

The scene subsequently presented was heart rending in the extreme: In their agony they had fallen anywhere and died. From the attic to the cel lar was the seine scene of death. Tile family have long borne a bad reputa tion, and are said to have annoyed and ill treated the Servant girl, be sides stealing from her. A spirit of revenge no doubt spurred her to the commission Ad the: deed, as there were no valuables in the lieuse."

Richardson died on Thursday, morning last, New,York: from a bullet wound received at the hand of a man named McFarland, several days previous. He bore up manfully and courageously to the end and met death calmly and with resignation. On Tuesday last he was solemnly Mar ried in the presence of a large nun:f ifer of distinguished gentlemen to Mrs. McFarland, the divorced wife of the murderer, the object of his love and cause of his death. The ceremo ny of wedding a dying man was very affeeting and solemn, and there were few eyes undimmed by tears among "the assembled guests. Rev: Froth- Ingham, assisted by H. W. Beecher, officiated, Mr. Richardson made the usual responses with marked empha sis and delibgmtion, and after the cer emon2., shook hands with Mr. (freely and another friend. In a few short hours after "the marriage the groom was a corpse, and the bride was fran tic with grief. McFarland, the mur derer, received the intelligence of the <tread consummation of his awful deed of revenge and Wickedness with the utmost complacency, seeming to be rejoiced that his victim had not escaped his wrath. About the death bed of Richardson were Junius H. Browne,Col. Knox, Wm. T. Blake, of Bosto; Mr. Chas. A. Richardson, Mrs: Richardson, the son of the dying man, Horace Gree ley, Wh tlaw - Reid, Mr. Sinclair, and others. Mr. Richardson took au af fectionate and touching leave or all. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was also present, and ministered to the spirit nal comfort of the sufferer. The cor rider leading to the departments of Mr. Richardson WIN thronged with people, whose inquiries and messages of sympathy were saddening inlhe extreme. • Ex Governor Seymour on Presi dent Grant Among . theretters published in the volume giving the official account of the reunion of the soldiers of the Ar mies of the Tennessee, the Ohio, the Cumberland and Georgia, which took place in Chicago ; in December, 18:ls, is the following: UTICA, DEc. 12, I,St:s, aENTLEM Et; : I 'am sorry I cannot accept your invitation to attend the re-union of thc soldiers of the West ern armies--ckimberland, TelltlCSSel2 .
