THE Deknocrilde convention in this place on last Monday, was not run by but two or three persons, nor was it engaged-during the Fs.sAion in ,ratifying jobs previously "set up" brinteresteil and scheming par ties. .In these respects it was a vast improvement on the last two or three Quay-Rutan conventions. SENATOR CAMERON is reported to have sent word some time * ago to General Allen, that it would be a good think (or the State ticket if he ( Allen) would retire from it, as a candidate for Auditor General. Allen answered that he would do so pro *v ided lie, (Cameron) would pledge himself not to hen candidate for re election to the U. S. Senate, and give a hood for its faithful performance. •v )(d Winnelxigo" would not pledge, and the negotiations ceased. f:v El: I Republican newspaper; we believe, in Pittsburgh, published the affidavit of Carpenter, the Oneonta N. Y.) man, who swO're that he saw a letter last winter, written by Hor ace (iieeley in which the ex-editor ofjhe Tribune favored the payment of pensions to disabled rebel soldiers. The Radical likcwise copied Oarpen ter's affidavit. Since then, the scoun drel 4C'arpenter) has become con sciencestrieken, or has received in tiniationkof a suit against him for perjury, and now he comes out over his own 'Signature and retracts the whole of his previous statement. This retraction has been widely pub yet neither of the Pittsburgh papers nor the Radical have had the ,manliness to copy it. Is this honor :011(4 journalism? A NEWPORT, IL I, dispatch of Au gust 4th, ssys a U. S. Marshall, ac companied by Capt. Ritchie of the le venue cutter MoceAsin, went aboard the Cuban schooner Pioneer yester day afternoon, and took charge of her, by order of President Grant, for violation of, the neutrality laws. Lieut. Chaureon, of the Cuban ser vice, demanded the, Marshal's papers in the name of the Cuban Republic, which were read to him, Capt. Bach e endorsing them, and informing the Lieutenant that 'he recognized the Marshars authority. Lieuten ant Chaureon protested in the name of the Cuban Republic against the seizure of the Pioneer, fired a gun, threw his sword overboaid, nailed the Cuban colors to the mast, and, with hisotneers and crew, left the \-ssiel in the hands of the Marshal. The United States officers then un loaded the guns, and the Pioneer will he docked and dismantled. The (-Ilse will be brought before the courts at Providence on the 12th inst. WILL/AM 11 .

KLIIRLE, If, a:-; committee man, Mr. Kern hie, comes into po:-Isozion of the cam paign fund for this State, we advise the rank and file in the "regular" orl;:inization to keep a pretty close lhokout. Whether he adds, divides, or keeps still, Is the point we wish them to ascertain. If he is an honor to a political organization, we hard ly know how it could be dishonored. WITIIIN the past year or two, the term "Legislative rooster," has been frequently used in connection with disreputable proceedings in our State Legislature. "A Legislative rwster" is one who goes to Harrisburg during the winter, and as a lobbyist or member makes money by iassisting or atmlining to assist in the passage of bills hmught up in the Assembly. It _matters not to the "rooster" whether the hill is right or wrong. lie takes hold of it—to defeat it or to put it through—for the money he can ohtain for his services. lie is as wilting to labor for an iniquitous bill as he is for a just one. Ile is as ready to swindle the State, as he is to "go -through" :a corporation or an indi vidual. Isis objective point is mon 2q, and whether this is obtained hon estly or corruptly- is a question he gives himself no concern about , wh t vvt. With this definition of a "mis ter," we ask otir readers to turn to another column in the Attous, and read [headdress of Mr C. W. Ellis of Warren county, Pa. to its itepub- Itean. , , touching theconduct of Gen eral Harrison Allen while a member of the State Senate, in a pipe bill in which :tLr. Ellis was interested. If that transaction does not prove Gen eral Allen to be a "Legislative mois ter," of the most corrupt type, we I would hardly know how to convince any one that such a fowl existed. Would a man, at all events, who is guilty of such practices, make a safe Auditor General? is a question the people of the State are to decide at the s t )ctober election.; THE adicat, of last week said that a Grant majority In North Carolina "will virtually.aecide the Presiden• tial struggle. Having carried Con necticut and New Hampshire, it only needs North Carolina to satisfy in telligent men of all parties that Gen-' eral Grant will be re-elected by a larger majority than he received four years ago." During the same day the above written in Dwyer, the election in North Carolina was held, and the result shows that instead of Grant carrying that State, - the Liberals ‘vere victorious by a majority of about 5,000. Bearing in mind the fact that General Grant succeeded in .North Uirolina in 1868 by over 12,4XX0 majority-, it will be seen hat his friends there have been making head way backwards "right smart," tiu ring the past four years. As to _Connecticut and New Hamp shire, we have only to say that no elections haiee been held In either of these States since the Reform move ment wasstarted. At their elections in last April-tea month before Give- ley was nominated at Cincinnati, the contest in both stats was very close between the old parties. Since the _Cideinnati convention, sixty-five Greeley Republican clutr4 have been organized in Connecticut, and the Hon. Daniel Clark of New 'Hemp shire--one of the belt posted clans-in it—writes that that State is sure for Greeley and Brown - by 8,000 inayority. if the 'Radical can extract any coronet from these facts, it k wel come to all it can get. Were we in Its place, however, we would not try to ling our hat on a moonbeam just now: the'county Republican conven tion held in Beaver last May one year ago, Cot. Quay, who was one of its memberS, offered a resohttlon, which appointed Thos Kerr of Free dom and J. L. B. Dawson of Deaver Falls, delegates to "the next Repub , Ikan State Convention." The reso lution was carried. It will be noticed that these delegates were selected al tryst a year in advance of the State Convention:, "Why this haste?" was a question frequently asked. but an swered satisfactorily by no one. The Gubernatorbil question had not been talked abOut by the people, and at that time too, it was riot known who would be or who would not be can didates for - that (Mao.. The repre sentatives; were, of course, unin structed. One fact, however, seem ed to impress itself upon a great ma ny minds, and that was, that Col. Quay carried both of the above named delegates in his "breeches pocket," and could give their votes in the "next Republican State Convention" to whomsoever he saw proper. About eight months after the appointment of the delegates here alluded to, Col. l i Quay received a o very fine cow from the herd of General 'Hartranft, esti _meted to be worth $2OO 00. • Three or four months later "the next Republimn State Convention" was hetti, and not only did Messrs Kery an Dawson support General Ilartranft for Governor, but by seine means or other Mr. Ruti/ worked his way into• the Convention, and voted for flartranft too. Probably, some urilooked for fine points in the Alderney were discovered ile and an extra et to was thought to be due her previor owner. Of course we do hot allege that there was wiythifig corrupt in all this, but we are a little alarmed lest some of our people will come to think that the Republican support of this county was exchanged last spring in our•SLate Convention, for a cow. STATHelections were held in North Carolina, August 1 ; inli_eiut reky, Montana and Utah,August 5. State elect ions will be held as follows: New ilex leo, September 1, California, Sep tember 2; Vermont, September :1; Maine, September 9; Colorado Ter ritory, September 11); Dakota, Indi ana, lowa, Nebrask.a, 011ie, Penn sylvania and District of Columbia, October 8; South Carolina, October Iti; West Virginia, October 24. All the States vote for Presidential elec tors on the 9th of November, and on the same day the following choose State officers: Arliansa4 Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kan.gis, Lousiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, N'ami s ,`" • ..N l Sit3S i , New-YOrk, Tennessee, V irg n , and Wisconsin. Arizona holds her Territorial election on. the Sth of No vember. Nownt Carolina election returns come in very slowly, moreewecially since it is close and the correct result might be thought to have an effect upon the elections which were to come off on Monday in Kentucky, Montana and Utah. It seems to be conceded that the Conservat ves have carried the Governor, five of the eight congre*atien and a majority in the State Legislature.• This, when it is considered that the Administra tion threw all the money, documents and speakers into that State which they could serape together, may he looked upon as a grand Liberal tri umph. The trilijority is said to range from 15110 to 2,090. The latest dispatch is as follows: lt A LEpitt,'August t,—Otlicial and partial returns received from seven .y - five counties reduce the Democratic inajori tylo some two thousand. Tt remaining seventeen counties are mostly small and will not materially change these figures. The Brant men concede the State by fifteen or twenty-five hundred majority.

A I'AI TIAL LIST OF TUE DEFALCA- TIONS The Civil Service and Public Robbery —Twenty-tau Delinquent Internal Reroute Officers—Thirty-nine Post (dice Culprits—Thirty Offenders in other ltepartanents—Over $2,300,000 Missing, and the half not told —thn -Nothing Beller than This be hoped foe? The following is a very incomplete list of public robberies and defalca tions under the present Administra tion. It is compiled from The Trib une tiles, and of coarse embraces only those case• of embezzlement and fraud that have been exposed in the news papers. It can hardly be doubted that, if the truth were known, a far more frightlul ilyt than the following could be made of the doings of the plunderers and scoundrels who have held office under the Government, under the auspices of such men as Murphy and Terwilliger: INTERNAL RENE:4LE. 'rhe Internal Revenue thirmui fur nishes the largest amount of defalca tions. The aggregate balance due the States mom ex-Colleetors reaches the enormous sum of one mil- lion three hundred and two thousond nine hundred and fifty-eight dollars! This does not, however, include all deficiencies. A statement has been published as official which represents the actual int !wive due 1 1 -4512,31M-S0 ; but this, like ail official documents now-a-days, is deceptive in its wattle. In reality, it is a:statement thecush balms erN due. When the in.stion was asked at the Bureau in ‘Vash- W i gton by our correspondeid, " Does this represent the entire amount of defalcations?" the answer was, " It does not." Nevertheless it was, like the Post-office statement, sent out try fully correct and trustworthy.

PENSION 11U REA 1 Nearly p year ago Congr es s called for a statement of the defaulters in this °like, and it has yet. to see the light. From the books of the Pen sion Bureau, I n at appears that the total sum abstracted since Grant was inaugurated is two hundred and serenty-eight thousand dollars! This is divided among Lawrence and Van Buren of New York, Pqrbesand Cal houn of Philadelphia, and Collins of this city. The reason why an official comparative statement has not been prepared is that during Johnson's term 0n1y5132,000 wasstolen. Grant would, in consequence be in excess of Johnson slso,otXt. George P.

The dispatch says: " The total amount received and disbursed by the Post- Office Department front postal and money-order funds from the begin ning et President Grant's Adminis tration no to March:ll of the present year was $178,765,4(04 (G, anti the amount of defalcations within the period mentioned was $9."),316 49. of which $12,146 9•i has already been ' collected." Following the example of some other depart tnents, the P. 0. officials attempt to garble their ac counts for the purpose of manufac turing campaign circulars. A dam; 'tient was prepared giving the frauds by StAtes, of which the article in the 'elutes gives the mull. the Times ar ticle being a transcript from this Grant 'Mut paign document. Th is of fiend statement was given to the Grant Executive Committee, and as they were fearful of its axing exposed, they refused to use any Donlon of it but the total amounts. As an exam ple of its falsification 4, it returns New York State as not having a single Post-office defaulter during Grant's administration ! ; Curious to know how this document was manufactur ed, inquiry was made at the Depart ment at Washington. and the follow ing facts were e belted The state ment is nothing more than a list of amounts due the Gorerninent front snits which hare been instituted daring Grant's (vim inistratien against inna masters who hare defaulted. in the judgment of the Punt-„f'le'e• no man is a tlefaulter against w hula suit has not been entered.

At the present day the Post-office has an ex treme•iy good Opinion of all sureties. Finally, defalcations that have been comproinistsi on account of political favor or other reasons do not appear in this official statement, nor do (tame revel veil by ape cial act of Congress. In short, nothing is in it which could by any po , ,sible subterfuge be kept Out. %%Then asked for it correct list of the defalcations, the Department officials were indignant, atal while they admitted everything stated above, they expected the inquirer to be satisfied with their campaign doc ument.
