THE leading organ of the Democ
racy of Central Pennsylvania, edited,
as it is, by an avowed free-trader,
who writes letters for publication
in this country of the British_ iron
manufacturers, is continually filled
4-ith denunckitions of the tariff apd
:thuse of its supporters. So far as re
gards the tariff, the Democratic par
ty of Pennsylvania has thrown off the
mask and is now as bitterly hastile.to
piotection as the party elsewhere.
CA LI PORN IA hns'gone Republican
from thfeeto five thousand majority.
The entire State tipket is elected.
The result in San kFrancisco is in
doubt as to the 3fayor bu,t the pros!
pects now arest rong that A I vord {tax
payer's candidate) - is elected.
The Republicans are certain
electing the ,Senator to succeed colt.;
and have elected Coughlan i
third and Sargent in the second dis•
triets to Congress, with an even
chance of gaining the first district.
The whole Legislative and munici
pal Republican (tax payers) ticket is
elected in an Francisco with the ex
ception of Recorder and one supervi
sor. The Republican majority in the
State is about four thousand.
The election returns' from Wyom
ing give the Republicans a inaiority
of two in the Senate, and the *Demo
crats of two in the House. The Re
publicans are jubilant over the re
sult, and consider it an endorsement
nf Gov. (Aimpbell's administration.
TI F: Secretary of the Navy-has 're
wired a consignment of trattle-,flag
raptured by our naval forces at Corea,
with the names of the captors, some
of them being - Waal
friends. The
dent is of blue silk, with the woven
representation of a dragon, and that
to Se•e•retary Robeson is of similar
material and color, with a winged
serpent, Most of the flags - and
streamers are cotton, with painted
emblems, the colors rc.pectively

mounted on long Ste ITs, with spear
'-heads of rattier rough manufacture.
The flags do nol exhibit an advanced

Iris Evans embroglio relative to
his, having been charged with de
frauding the State of Vennsylvania,
has given rise to_vario.;, Intvi in alp.
justification. ,Of course, the De6l6-
crats expect to make a political point
by assuming the charges of embezzle
ment true, and they are backed up
by a portion of the Republican press,
which insinuates that Evans was but
a mere instrument in obtaining the
war - clabus from theUnitedStates,mid
retaining-the ten per cent.. commis
sion to be distributed among his
principals whose head is Gov. Geary.
Without absolute proef, , the charg
es against the executive ought not to

lican press entertain the opinion that
Evans' statement Is true, viz: "That
the law authorized his retention of
ten per rent. commission" on the.,
amount collected; but, that he should
have been satisfied with a less per
rentage.T...bey- have no idea that
Governor la . lax received one
farthing of the amount of the coin
•m ission for collection, nor will they
believe it in the absence of evidence.
Evans chargtes that a demand was
made upon him 'by the Cameron-
Mackey Ring for twenty-tlve thous- .
and of the "counnissiOn of ten per
rent,'' but that he declined to aco;de
to that demand ; and they instituted
the present proceedings for the pur-3
pose of ",black-ruailine him. lie is
How in New York s upon the tilA"..
ernor of which a requisition hastieen
made by Gov. Geary, for his deliv
ery to the Pennsylvania authorities
for trial. • Evans resists being giver
up without a preliminary exainina
tion before - a New York tribuna
aikwing that the l'aftaeron 'tin
would not hiitate to suborn wi
nesses for, his conviction. He has
appealed to Gov. Hoffman to secure
him a hearing.
The dishontly that wrvath-s, ii
varied proportiolis, the qtludnistra
tion of public affairs everywhere
and corrupts to a considerable extent
even the cvnimercial intercourse o
the people, is to be deprecated in un
tueasured terms. It is by fat the
most alarming evil under which our
•
political and social institutions suffer,
and, that our inatiiiity to arrest the
further spread of this sccorge will
eventually result in the Aestr.etion
of our rights and liberties, and every
thing else upon the po.ssision of
which an American citizen has here
tofore prided himself. We should
therefore, fight this''gigantic
`wherever it may appear with energy
and persistency. But in doing this
we must not depart-from the path of
duty and Justice—we should act de
liberately and circumspectly, and
bring the accused to a fair trial. If
guilty, punish, let the shaft wound
whom It will.

'ccived a copy of a letter addressed by
M. Remusat to Mr. Wickham Hoff

HERE AND TUERE..
—A miner from Pike's Peak bro't
into Helena, Montana, the other day,
$50,000 in gold dust, the result of one
"clean up" from his claim on Pil
grim bar. This is the largest quan
tity of the preelo.us metal which has
been taken out by oue man this sea
son.
—At Richmond, Virginia, theoth
er day, workmen who were engaged
in digging out a foundation on the
lot where the Spotswood Hotel late
ly stood, came across a hide of leath
er. More than forty years ago on
this lot had been a tanyard, and the
leather was fountliu one of the vats.
The leather was in a perfect state of
pmv-ervation, and must have been
there ever since 1820 or 1825.
—A Preebyterian clergyman nam
ed; McElwee, who, by his clerical
conduct and supremely secular mor
alv had offended the virtuous citi
zens of his native town, Bowling
Green, Ohio, was urgently invited to
depart from the indignant commun
ity. As it gave the licentious preach ,
er both an 'opportunity and a pre
text for deserting his wife and child
ren, he went with entire alacrity and
due resignation.
—A North Carolina paper, as an
instance of the changes of fortune
wrought by the war, states that "a
widow lady from the country was in
town hunting a cook's place in some
•
nice family. Many years ago her
grandfather owned 150 slaves and six
plantations, and at the close of the
war, ber'father had a bushel of gold.
Her husband was a poor man, and
died in the war, and now this yule
pendent and worthy widow wsinan
prefers to cook In some nice family
rather than to live flependenton oth
er folks."
—Brigham YOung recently order
ed silk for thirty dresses for his wives
which is a trilling matter for him
with his income. But just think of
an ordinary business man buying silk
dresses, cashmere shawls, point lace,
and jewelry to match, for say a half
dozen wives, to say nothing of a
score or two of daughters. The very
thought of the thing is enough to
scare all the polygamy oat of a crazy
man's brains. Let the faations once
work their way into Utah, and dry
goods bills will do for its peculiar in
stitution what Congressional bills
have thus fitr failed to accomplish.
—A Syrian convert toehristianity,
as the story goes, was urged by his
employer to work on Sunday, but he
declined. "But," said the inaste
"dues not your Bible say that if a
man have an ox or an UM that falls
into a pit on the St' thliath day, he may
pull him out?" "Yes;" answered
Ilayoh, "but if the ass has a habit of
falling into the same pit every Sab-
bath day, then the man should till up
that pit or sell that ass:" The story
has a sort of a swivel "mural" which
will tit a great many disputed points
in these days.
—Says The. libistrs's Jopruol: At

—Weqern crithes are happily less
ifrequent than atrocity. Almost a
parallel to the hideous 9'Aleara atro
city occurred Wu- Harken, 111. Two
wretches, while the family were at
church, visited the house of a grasp.
Brous fanner, and finding only a lad
at home, demanded all the moneyin
the house. The boy knew of but : 1 1--
50 which did not satisfy the robbers.,
-of course, and they threatened him
with death if more were not forth
coming. The lad opened a bureau
drawer, and, snatching a pistol, in
trepidly leveled it at the banditti, or
dering them to leave. . They dashed
toward hint, and he rise . lutely fired'
at the nearest nano, missing him; the
villain returned the shot, killing the

so fur escaped.
—An alligator's mouth isn't the

her experience in that frightful pwi

the bus4es, and after a Vigorous strug

*Merin) enemy, Here the alligator;

lutely fought her amphibious foe,
and, incredible to say, reached the
hank, and with the aid of neighbors,
escaped the monster. Her wounds
were frightful, the marks made by
the teeth of the alligator presentig

steel instrument.
Important Charge to a Graud
Jury by Judge Sedtbrd.
In charging`the Grand Jury on
Thursday at the opening of the Sep-,
teinber term of the Court of General
Sessions, in New York city, Judge
Bedford thus spoke of the recent •
eases of medical malpractice which
have been brought to light: "But a
day or two ago the law abiding citi
zens of this city were appalled by
the intelligence of , a murder, most
cruel in its nature and most foul in
its character, making the heart grow
sick at the contemplation of such
fiendish depravity. This case, witit
all its melancholy surroundings, wily
be presented to you for your deliber
ation. It will require a thorough
and searching analysis, as It is a mat
ter which'must be investigated and
probed to its very core; for the deed
itself strikes, us it were, at the 'very
heart-strings of society. I have-ref
erence, gentlemen, to that mysteri
ous trunk, which, but a few days ago,
was discovered in this city, contain
ing the lifeless body of a young and
once happy, but, I fear, most unfor
tunate girl, the sad" victim of treach
ery and deception—one who, unfor
tunately for her own happiness, be
lieved too, much.. Full of anguish
, for the pait, and in the vain endeav
or to screen from the public gate her
delimit+ condition, in_ a moment of
utter hopeles s ness and frantic despair
she gave herself up and was robbed
of her existence by the murderous
hand. And here, gentlemen, are we
not irresistibly prompted in the true
spirit of phila,uthrophy, to ask our
selves, "Can crirms so fearful and
atrocious be perpetrated in the very
midst of a Christian community, em
bracing within its Jurisdiction more
than a million of souls, and where
the religion of Heaven is preached
and its holy mandates observed?"
Ali! the startling, painful fact is too
true. If this great city of New
York, consisting, us it were ; a world
within itself, can boast with con
scious pride of her churches, her nu
merous charities, the virtue and in-=
tell;
.gence of her citizens, her multi
' plied evidences of good deeds, she
has, too, to drop a tear over the vices
and wiekedne;.s of many of her chil
dren. But I will not detain you.
Sutlice it to say that of late we have
been living, as it were, in an attwrs
phere of this crime. In one word,
the very air Is, indeed, heavy with
the dark deeds of these heartless and
unscrupulous specimens of human
depravity. Let the warning word
this day go forth, and may it be
scattered broadcast throughout the
land, that from this hour the author
one and all, shall put forth eve
ry effort and shall strain every nerve
until these profess;onals, the'e tra f
ficers in human life, shall be exter
minated and driven from existence,
and the majesty of the law be fully
vindicated In all cases of this fiendish
character,
And now, crentlemen, in. t‘tatclu
:Atm let ine express the earnest hope
--hared in, •as I ft-el confident i'
will be, by you and all other right
mintltsi citizens—that the legislature
at Its next secs on will so amend the
statute-book as that'Any person who
shall administer to any woman with
child, or prescribe for such woman,
or advise or procure her to take any
wndieVer, t'ir - snatrue'ortnitpruruny
instrument or other means atever,
with Intent thereby to procure the
til i:6earringe of any such woman, un
less the same shall have been necess
ary to preserve her life, shall, in ease
the death of such child or of well wo
man be thereby produced, be deem
ed guilty of manslaughter in the set.-
end degree,' be declared to be mur
der in the tirst degree, and punisha
ble as such with death, instead of as
now, but manslaughter in theseeond
degree, punishable by imprisonment
not exeeeding seven years." •
Uuderground Laken in New York
Stale.
A correspondent of the New York
Mites writes as follows from War
wick in that State: That thereexists
in this neighborhood - several subter
ranean lakes, or one vast, under
grounesea, the occurrence of recent
singular phenomena and circum
stance., connected therewith would
seem to prove.
Near a point of the New Jersey
Midland Railroad, known as Port
Tuttle. the workmen were greatly
surprised one in orning, a week or
tiVo since, to find that several rods of
grading had entirely disappeared and
water and loose rand of unknow a
alepth wa-s all that could be seen. An
Iron
rod fifty feet long %vas put
down, but no bottom was reached,
and its real depth has not yet been
ascertained. The general appearance
of the 'surrounding country. would
seem to indicate that there 'is herein/
underground lake, which was once a
natural sheet of water, covering a
large area of the country, which is
now a swamp. By the filling in for
ages of earth and rocks from the hill
sides, and the growth of vegetation,
a crust has been formed over it i which
has eventually closed the lake, and
its surface is t.ow entirely Overgrown.
In the immediate vicinity of this
spot there are boiling springs, and itN
an stream passes front this overgrown
lake, it is thought to have ant outlet
in these springs. They are never
failing, and boil up in the wadoWt,
in large numbers. The Water is ex
cellent, and quite a stream is formed
by them. Tu give foundat)on to this
theory of a subterranean hike, fish
have been caught at these springs
front ei,gitt to ten niches long, all
without eyes. They are in shape
something like our common sucker.
A portion of this swamp was ()Ace
avily tint bered. 1t is tam eleared,
and is meadow land, but a team
passing over its surface will shake it
.for yards around,whiclr givesstrength
to the surmise that it is floating
around. The earth on both sides is
gradually rising, and is about four
feet above its former level. The
trees'are slanting Outward, and their
appearance is very 'singular. The
railroad company are experiencing,
great difficulty in building their
' road over this swamp. since the
sinking of their grading, as stated,
workmen with six carts have been
busy in filling in front a gravel hank
near by, but what they accomplish
by day invariably disappears during
the night. About two hundred yards
will have to be filled in this way.
A singular phenomenon was re
cently witnessed on the Monticello
and Port Jervis railway, about three
miles this side of the former place.
The back (the road is in operation)
sank suddenly about ten feet below
the grade. In building the road, ov
er live hundred car loads of sand and
gravel were used at this point before
a foundation could he obtained.
In the town of Bethel, Sullivan
county, can be witnessed a singular
phenomenon, of the incrustation of
sheets of water.which, in the lapse of
time, have become apparently solid
earth. At Amber lake, in that town
a largeportion of the' shores of that
delightful little body of water Is a
floating morass, which, near the wa
ters edge, is too thin to bear the
weight of a grown plersom, but furth
er back seems nearly as firm as the
solid shore. The work of bridging
over the water's surface is going
slowly on, and doubtless continues,
hence this entire lake will be Incrus
ted like the ones already mentioned,
and only to be detected as they have

For several weeks the public has

Governer Geary. It was not to be
expected that Democratic journals
would be just in their criticisms of
the affair. To have been so they
would have naturally regarded as
bad policy on the eve of an import
ant election. But it was reasonably
to be expected that no journal pro
fessing to be Republican, and claim
ing to be regarded as a respectable
Oman of public opinion, would join
in the false and shameful clamor. It
may be surprising to some that in
all this there has been no !reply.
The aUitude the Governor assumes
toward the matter is, that it would
be unworthy of himself, and of his
position as Chief Magistrate of the
State, to wake, or permit his friends
to make, any specific answer what
ever to innuendoes and' insinuations
made by parties mainly in ignorance
of the real facts The case has now
been transferred for settlement to the
courts of Dauphin county. All the
facts, involving in any way the ac
tion of any officer of the State ad
tniutstration, will be eficitetl during
the trial. The people will thus be
enabled to Judge for themselves.
Besides this, it is the Governor's in
tention to lay the whole case before
the Genera/ Assembly . at its next
session, and demand an investiga
tion. He thinks that by passing it,
through this double ordeal the whole
truth may the more surely be made
known.
The Governor painfully feels him
self to be entitled to better treat
ment. He has, at different periods,
been ("abed by his countrymen to po
sitions of great public responsibility,
inwhich millions were committed
to his keying, and not a cent that
did not legally and morally belong
to him was ever found in his hands.
He has been twice elected tiovernor
by the people of his 'native State,
and he regards It as due to them, to
the record of his own public and pri
vate life, to his faintly, and to the
honorable poverty in which udvanc-
Mg years now. finds him—that it
shall be known beyond the possibili
ty of doubt that he is an honest
man.—State Journal.
FI'CIIITIVE'S STORY
The Wai Claim Agent of Pennsylva
nia Awaiting a Hearing Outside the
of the Harrisburg Ring.
Mr. Evans, the agent ',appointed
by ! thi4 Governor of Pennsylvania to
procure the war debt of that State
from Congress, has been in this city
some days, awaiting the result of the
investigation ordered by Gov. Geary.
The telegraph yesterday announced
that charges of embezzlement of the
State funds had been lodged with
the Governor, who had made a re
quisition upon Gov. Hoffman for the
delivery of 'Evans to the authorities
of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Evans informed Gov. Geary
when he clunk- here that he should
take.- X . ,°,lk • and
al Brewster. Learning on NVednes
day last that's reqUisition was tip be
made for his arrest here, mea.s - hres
were taken by Mr. .Evans's counsel
to lay all the facts before Gov. Hoff
man before the arrival of the Penn-
Nylvania officer; to the end tha t a
preliminary examination allay be
obtained here, where it can be fairly
land, outside the reach of the "For
?ley-Cameron Rine," who, Mr.
Evan's friends charge,have conspired
to crush him. A
That Evans retained a large slice
of the motley which he received lin
the State from the national govern
ment is conceded: He sayedt is ex
actly, what was his just due. It leaks
Out now that a certain ring which
operate` liken shuttlecock between
the Legislative lobby at Harrisburg
and the t ongre-Aonal lobby at Wash
ington walled about $24,900 of
- Evan's portion of the war debt;
that Frans viewed it in the limit of
blackmailing, and that after getting
possts‘siori at his share he refused to
gratify the sharks.—N. ,Sine.
—The report of the Board of Visit
ors to the Military, Academy iit - West
point for the year 1571 has just been
orintetivial made public. Only four
tnembet's of the Board, consisting of
12 members signed the report uncon
ditionally; three took exceptions to an
article which rev° iii metals a stricter
discipline, so as to prevent the famil
iarity now existing between cadets
and their superior officer, in frequent
visiting back and forth, drinking and
corousing together, them spending of
money almost without stint by seine
aidets, while the superior ones are
compelled to put up with mess -house
fare, be., and one of these objected on
the recommendation of the Board
making it a rule to retire, on a suita
ble salary for life, professors whose
days of usefulness may have passed .
of the professors which the - report
proposes to rem ire now are the Pro
fessor of Ethics and Law, of Engin
eering and of Drawing, the latter
study to be ;Abolished. Five niem
tiers wereabsent when the report was
signed. The Hoard speaks in the
highest term of the results of the ex
aniinations of cadets in their ro.Tee
tire studies: following sugges
tions were made in the report : That
henceforth the office of chaplain be
made distinct, the term of ineum
honey to be limited to 4 years, and
the reilgious denominations to he
represented in rotation in making
appointments of chaplains. That a
preparatory course at least One year
should be / established ? and in view of
the number of annual rejections, that
the minimum age of admission to
the academy be fixed arls years.
That a prott-Nsorship of ethics and
bellesletires be established, the in.
cumber, to be selected from civil life.
That a hew telescope be purchased
for the observatory, to take the place
of one in use there upwards of 40
years, and that new buildings be
erected in place of the dilapidated
and almost useless workshops. The
care of the premises is prbnounced
excellent.
—A Eureka (Cal.) paper relates a
I remarkable tale of love and consian

therefore declined us a son-in-law,
and so he went to the Pacific Coaskto
seek his fortune. He sought gold
everywhere, but found little; and at
last, after years of labor, and hard
ship, determined to return to his old
home. He engaged his passage from
San Francisco, when he encomitered
his early love, now near middle age,
who, with her brother, had gone in
quest of her old lover. Her parents
and all her near relatives had died,
save her companion. She was weal

fortune, with her hand and heart, to
the man tvho had struggled valiant
iv and failed to earn the weed of toil.
the twain were wedded, and return
to the East with the dream of love as
bright and fresh to' them as it had
been years before. Even this practi
