The Copper heads understood this when, in adopting the fourth article of the Harrisburg plat form they attempted to turn the public- no tice from their own miserable failure, by resolving that a reform was needed in the management of our state and national finances. Knowing their own weakness they dared not refer to their own record, but by inuendo hoped to cast suspicion upon the republican management of the finances. They well knew that reference to their own record would be fatal and ihey also knew that no truthful charge could be made against the republican management. 1 hat $43,000,000 of the public debt has been paid off since the Republicans catnc into power on the 4th of March is a very signifi cant and a very stubborn fact. That the Internal Revenue is to day more honestly and economically collected than ever before is not denied by even the most hardened copperhead politician. That the country is several hundred millions of dollars better off by reason of the increased value of its bonds and securities, the result of republican economy and good management, is a matter of world wide notoriety. Under Andy Johnson's copperhead administration, the government found difficulty in negotiating loans at seven and three tenths per cent. Five months of Republican rule and econo my and we are now offered any quantity of money at 5 per coot and refuse it because we can get it for les3. \Y ith deerea-od taxa tion, but a more honest and economical col lection and management, the receipts from Internal Revenue have amounted to the enormous sum of S6OO,(XX) per day, for the past month, far more than was ever collect ed and paid into the Treasury by Andy- Johnson and his copperhead officials even when taxation was much heavier. This i thc work of Republicans daring five months and it presents deeds and facts that cannot be controverted, in contra-t with the empty promises of copperhead*. The last time copperheads had full control of tho public funds was under James Buchanan. When he yielded the reins of government to Abra ham Lincoln, it was with a divided country and a bankrupt Treasury. Why don't the copperheads print this oue great glaring fact in the largest kind of capitals? The contrast between their acts and their deeds would stand thus: DEMOCRATIC PROFESSIGNS. "Reform in the administration of the Federal and State govern . -r.t in the man agement of their fin inc-iai affairs is impera tively demanded.— Harrisburg platform. DEMOCRATIC DEEDS. A WICKED REBELLION. STOLEN SHIPS AND FORTS. A ROBBED AND BANKRUPTED TREASURY. Those are faets, stubborn facts written in dclibly upon the pages of history and stamped in blood upon the hearts of the people. The party is unchanged—its lead ers arc unchanged—its principles arc uu changed. Its ranks are filled with tho men who robbed our country's Treasury, stole her ships, fired upon herfl >.v, and murdered in cold blood her bravest sou?. Rebels and Iraitors, rhieves and Robbers crowd its ranks and the day is far distant when the men who preserved our I nion will consent to trust her destinies in the hands of a party with such an infamous record. These are facts—not false promises. tOI'AL MKN flil'ST KI LE. The work of Reconstruction in the South shows the spirit oi Rebellion to be still smouldering in the hearts cf the former rebels. In the hope of controlling the work of reconstrncticn they have professed an acquiescence in the legislation of Congress and an acceptance of the results of the war, but their hypocrisy has been so glaring and their efforts to intimidate and drive from the polls all, Loth white and Mack, who will not vote with them, 60 persistent, in Virginia and Tennessee, that the President has felt called upon to reiterate the declara tion of his inaugural, that the laws of Con gress must be enforced and the fifteenth amendment made the basis of reconstruc tion. By their false professions the South ! ern conservatives have forfeited public con fidence, Their hypocrisy has greatly re tarded the work of reconstruction, and demonstrated the fact that it can only be entrusted to loyal men. It had been much better for the peace and prosperity of the . v outh if the so-called conservatives had made no profession of loyalty. Their bad faith bas greatly complicated the situation. W hen a class or party hasonee demonstra ted the fact that their promises and profes sions cannot be relied upon, it requires a long time to restore confidence in any sub sequent declarations thev may make. The conservatives have evidently made this mis take. But one course now seems to remain by which any speedy reconstruction of the b °uth can be accomplished. The work must be confided to the hands of those, whose record is untarnished and whose loy alty has never wavered. Henceforth to the true I moil men alone the work of recoa struction must be entrusted. Loyal men must ru.c, until conservative rebels learu wisdom by further experience. If hence tort members of unreconstructed State legislatures are met with the " iron-clad oath tbey can console themselves with the reflection that their own dishonesty and in tolerance is bearing its legitimate fruit in their cases. Honesty on their part would have caused the laws cf Congress to be leui ently construed and enforced. Their glar ing bad faith demands a strict construction and rigid enforcement of thoso laws, which they are cow likely to receive at the hands of the President. GOLD closed in New York ON Monday at larger poo, The same b true of tu THE CRY OF STOP THIEF. 31ost people are familiar with the prac tice of thieves, when caught in the act, of running into the crowd and themselves ta king up the cry of "Stop Thief" in order to ward off suspicion. The Harrisburg Pa triot has been engaged in this kind of work for a week or two past. Having no record of its OWD party but stealing, it concluded to fry to ward off suspicion bv charging the Republican party with dishonesty in the appropriation of the State funds. The Ga zette of last week took up the refrain and t echoed and-re echoed the falsehood of the Patriot. The whole charge is so weak, fool ish and utterly without foundation that one would have Supposed that even the fellows who scribble for the Gazette would have detected the cheat of the Patriot. It is -imply this, thev take the gross receipts into the State Treasury for two years, making a little over eleven millions of doliars and deducting the amount of the state debt paid off in two years, Hud that there would bo about seven millions of dollars left. Without stopping to con-* aid- r the appropriations and expenses for tw) years they straightway ask "What has become of the seven millions?" They make no allowance for the necessary expens es of carrying on the state government, the salaries of the Governor, and other state effi eers, the Judges of the Supremo Court, the payment of interest on the state debt, the appropriations for our Common Schools, our Agricultural Schools, our Soldiers Or pban School and other charitable institu tions, the improvements and care of the capital buildings, and grounds, &c. The merest simpleton knows that all these ag gregate millions each year. The Interest paid on the state debt in those two years exceeded four and a half millions, leaving a .urjing to their own figures only about tw. and a half millions for all other pur poses. The wonder is, not where did the tuoury go, but how did the Repub licans manage to earry on the Government -o economically and appropriate so much to the reduction of the State Debt. IP/ten did copperheads pay off the State debt at the rate of IWO MILLIONS OK DOLLARS A YEAR? Why don't the Patriot and Ga zette tell us about that? Why don't they tell the people that under Democratic con trol the State debt was never paid af all but increased each year until it exceeded FORTY MILLIONS? Why don't they tell the people that, in less than ten years, in spite of a copperhead rebellion, the Republican party Lave paid off TWENTY MILLIONS of tho State debt and rchascd all the Real Estate of the Slat- from TAXES? Why don't they tell these things for which thev can easily find the figures instead of heaping up falshhoods that the meanest tyro can detect and ex pose? Why don't the Gazette give its at tention to the county finances? Why don't it call attention to thcslo.ooo missing from the Poor House Treasury a year or two ago? Surely it has enough to do to take cate of the finances at home? lluw about that $10,000? How about our county finances? How about the present Poor House im broglio? Who is to ,'pay the piper there? USURY LAWS. Since the indictment of a number of pr. mitt' tit Wall street gamblers a week or two ago for violation of the usury laws, no such exorbitant rates have prevailed. This suggests the question whether the abolition of our usury lavs is as great an advance in the way of progress as its advocates claim. We incline to the opinion that our old time usury laws were founded in tiuo wisdom and a vi-e political economy. Indeed we hesi tate not to declare that in these times of reckless gambling in stocks and other se curities, when the whole country isoft-tinics made to suffer that a few unprincipled scoundrels may fill their pockets. Nothing could -o effectually check this fearful tide of rcckle-s crime, than judicious usury laws strictly enforced. No measure that we can at present think of would so greatly tend to promote public prosperity. -Stock gamb bl<-r.-,who arc worse than highway robbers, n>w manipulate the money market for no otlf*r purpose than raising or depressing the | rice of stocks and the rates of interest that they may make money by their vicious practices, df wc had usury laws restricting the rates of interest to 6, 7 or S per cent and strictly enforced them, millions of dollars that now lie idle in bank vaults, only to be u- dfor creating panics for the derange ment 11 bu-dness, would soon find their way into the hands of enterprising businessmen, and be invested in manufactures, railroads, mining, shipbuilding and all the varied oc < upati-ms known and necessary to our eivili /. stiun. Let us by ail means have usury !uw- where there are none, and wherever j ! hey are let them be rigidly enforced. They will promote the public welfare and none but sharpers and gamblers will complain. The condition of our money markets and the reckless and criminal gambling that prevails in all the marts of commerce im peratively demand reform and in no way can it be better or more surely accomplished i i'uan by the passage and rigid enforcement i of stringent usury laws. FRENCH AMNESTY.—The French Empe ror celebrated the anniversary of the hun dredth birthday of Napoleon first by issuing a decree of full and complete amnesty to press and political offenders, to persons con victed of evasion of taxes, deserters from the army and navy and to sailors in the merchant marine who have abandoned their ships. Whether this act of amnesty is to be credited to the Emperor's head or heart, it is certainly an acknowledgement of, and a concession to, the liberal progress of the age. Even French despotism feels that the influ enee of liberal ideas can no longer be suc cessful'y resisted, and that in gradual con cessions to its demands lies the OQly hope of perpetuating the Napoleonic dynasty. THE Southern conservatives reckoned without theifho3t. They confidently count ed on the support of the President in their effort to re store rebel rule in the southern stiles. Iho v\ alker men in \ irgitiia and the Senter party in Tennessee claimed that the Pre i lent was with them and they gained many votes thereby. The evident bad faith of these parties has led the President to ex press himself unequivocally on the side of genuine Republicanism. The fifteenth amendment must be the bads of all southern reconstruction, is the emphatic declaration of the President; and the refusal of the Walker party to accept the proposition of the radical republicans to harmonize is ac cepted as conclusive evidence of their bad faith. 1 HE Democratic District Conference met iu this place on Tuesday and nominated Hiram Findley of Somerset for Senator and •Joseph 15. Noble of this county and Thomas Sipe of Fulton county for Assembly. They will do as well as any others to be beaten. NEARLY the whole state of Maryland I has been suffering from drought. In the I vicinity of Baltimore and the Eastern Shore | vegetation is almost burnt up. The crops are suffering and in some parts it is said tbere will not be more thaD half a orop of corn. A STEP TO THE PACIFIC. Tho agents of the Kansas Pacific Railway, present, in another column, an enterprise possessing features which seem to merit special comment. Having built their road front Kansas City to Sheridan, and found it a profitable and promising investment, the mauagers now propose to continue it to Denver, and thus open up the trade of the Rocky .Mountains. That much, it ishopcd. will be completed by June next and its agents, Messrs. Dabney, Moboan -& Co., and M. K. Jesit & Co., Bankers and Merchants of high reputation, now tender through our columns, a loan of §0,500,000 for this purpose. These gentlemen state with clearness the reasons which have induced them to give this loan their endorsement. The Kansas Paeific Railway now runs through the centre of Kansas, and is in successful and profitable operation for over four hundred miles. We remember the country through which it passes as a wide, open plain, ap parently as boundless and rolling as the sea,, known only to a few tribes of wild, roving In dians, and occasionally to a venturesome' squad of stage guards and herdsmen, who ministered a primitive hospitality every fifteen or twenty miles. Topeka, Salinaand Manhattan were little more than the geographical designations of towns that hoped to be. llays, Ellsworth, Sheridan and the twenty stopping-places now upon its tiiue-table, did not exist, even in the imagination of the pioneers. Denver was a mere cluster of mining catiins and Indian huts, The Gheyennes and Arrapahoes held solemn council or high revelry in its ways. There was no law but a great deal of rude, summary justice, which grieved sober be lievers in fia/isas corpus, and trial by jury. Now, Denver is as neat, well built and com fortable as Hartford, with schools and chubches, rows of brick stores, hotels aud tasteful dwellings, which recall the luxury and comfort of the East. Nature has rim med and fringed it with the noble Rocky Mountains, whose hills glisten in snow, while their aides are clothed with deep and rich midsummer greenery. It is now proposed to unite this city with the East by an extension of the Kansas Pacific Railway. To do this it will be necessary to buiid 220 miles of road. The Managers are wise not to defer it, in the vain hope of being able to induce Congress 1 to vote them large subsidies. The Govern ment has built one road to the Pacific at a great expense. Private citizeus are quite ready and willing to build another, especially when those who ask their aid can show as good a balance sheet as the Kansas Man agers. St. Louis is on the natural route from New York to the llocky Mountains and San Francisco. It is the metropolis of the mighty Valley ol the Mississippi; and the extension of this road is a new and im portant step in tho great highway between •St. Louis and San Francisco. The l uion Pacific (Omaha) Road has as much business as it can manage; and we have grave doubts whether it will bo able to keep open a through route amid the midwinter snow and ice of the Sierra N'avadas. A through road must finally traverse the warm countries of New Mexico and Arizona, aloDg the thirty fifth parallel or below it. General Palmer has surveyed a route where snow rarely falls —every mile of which opens rich mining*! e posits. It embraces the oldest towns on the continent. The country demands such a road, and this extension is a step toward completing if. It is interesting to note the progress of a railway which draw - its business from a country ten years ago conceded to the buffalo and the aborigines. In April, the Kansas Road earned, in gross income, $217,914 49, of which $93,291 61 were balanced by ex penses, leaving a net profit ol $124,622 88. In May, the earnings were $222,163 46; the expenses $107,987 77, leaving a profit of $114,173 69. Two months' aggregate, $238,798 37. There are few roads in our older and riper States that would not be content with as good a result. But the truth is, these new countries have much growth in them. We have but to touch our Western prairies and hills with the iron wand, and cities spring up, towns cluster along the streams and highways, and broad plains blossom with wheat, corirand barley; school-houses and churches take the place of the block-house and the fort, aud the great rivers are disturbed by steam and water whc-cl. So our civilization has marched over the prairies, is advancing over the plains, and in a few months we shall have the vast treasures of Colorado and the gold countries under contribution. The Presi dent, ia his last Inaugural, pointed to these hills as the "strong box," whose treasures would pay the National debt. This railroad is the key to open it. We therefore look with pleasure upon this effort of private citizens to carry another road to the Paeific. We must have at least three railways across the continent. We must enable the North ern and Southern and Middle States re spectively to reach the furthest West by the most convenient way. Wo look upon the State of Kansas with an interest not far re moved from affection. This child of tears, and blood and agony, now marches to the dignity and grandeur of an empire, and well deserves the proud, fond name of "the Massachusetts of the West." To this road she owes much of her prosperity; and now, that its owners propose to carry it to Denver, and wed the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi \ alley, we hail them as men doing great National service, and earnestly hope they will receive from our people prompt and earnest support. The loan they offer is certainly a good one. It yields high interest in gold, has many years to run, is secured by largo grants of land and a profitable railway, and is endorsed by men whose word gives it the force of an irre fragable guarantee.— Xtw York Tribune. THE REI'UDIATOUS. —The nomination of Repudiation Pendleton in Ohio reveals the meaning of Rosecrans oracular utterance about his family and creditors. He was ev idently afraid his salary would not be paid. If Rosecrans showed so much caution that he would not trust the Democracy, even bearing gifts, would it not be prudent for all holders of national currency or United States bonds to vote agaiust Pendleton, or any otber Democratic candidate ? A corollary reflection for Pennsylvania! It is not known that Asa Packer holds a single I. nited States security. Certain it is that he did not lend the Government a dol lar in its extremity. Will not all bis influ ence in case of bis election be thrown as a matter of course against the Government Londs and credit? Now, when Grant is .-training every nerve to pay off the great debt, wc should not throw a straw in his way. The Press. THE Republican majority on the popular vote in the recent Alabama election was 12,- 000. We also elected four out of the six Congressman. PitOM the extreme Noith-west, conies the report of Gen. Hancock, confirming the ad vices, from other quarters of the Indian ter ritory, that the tribes are tranquil, with no probability of any serious disturbances. The annual Indian war will not come off this year. ANYTHING is better than nothing SEEMS to be the motto of ambitious copperheads. Asa Packer a would be candidate for Presi dent of the United States last year is quite willing to accept a nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania this year. George H. Pendleton candidate for the Vice Presidency in 7.8C4 and ignominiously beaten, is quite willing to accept the second band nomina tion for Governor of Ohio. Truly these ambitious copperheads must be desperately sick for office. After being soundly beaten this year we expect to see them out fur something lower down. They may perhaps find berths yet as aldermen or something less, but their chances are small. POLITICAL ITEMS. A Piu. for Packer—the seventh plank of his platform, which declares that the Democ racy should "gratefully remember' 1 the sol diers. How can he swallow it and try to beat a soldier candidate? THE Packer Democracy will need the last dollar they can squeeze out of their candidate to save him from being distanced in the autumn race. He is bound to be beaten: the only remaining question is how much ? A COTEMPORAKY SAYS :—"Ou Wednesday the Democratic party of Pennsylvania was put up at auction to the colossal railway cor poration of the country. The New York combination bid highest and got the con cern." THE Democratic journals of Pennsylvania are in a muss about their candidate's name for Supreme Judge, some of them printing it pershing, and some, in accordance with the "eternal fitness of things," Perishing,— Chicago Post. THAT Packer Corruption Fund has a power ful fascination for all the opposition editors. They can't think, talk or write nbout any thing but money. With money-bags for their candidate, they may be expected to harp upon that single striDg as long as the cash holds out. Ox VITE DECI.INK. —Our regular army is on the decline, in numbers. There has beeu very little use for troops since Grant's inau guration. A reduction of the army from forty regiments to twenty-five is to result in a fur ther saving to our National Treasury of many millions. MORE THAN DOUBLED. —Since a Republican President has been in the White House, the revenues from whisky and tobacco have more than doubled. llow would the matter stand to-day had Seymour and his clan been placed in power ? Let the intelligent man, who has examined "current history," judge for him self. COMING DOWN. —Next we expect to hear ot Seymonr again running for Governor of the State of New York. Packer aspired to the Presidency : but, for the sake of holding of fice, has most cheerfully condescended to be come our Governor. Pendleton was sure of taking possession of the White House. Whisky and intimidation failed him. and he is out now for Governor of Ohio. Are there not a few more Presidential candidates willing to be sacrificed on the gubenatorial altar ? OP the political state of affairs in Pennsyl vania, the New York Commercial Advertiser says : Packer has nothing to recommend him but his bank account. He is old, infirm, aud past his usefulness. Governor Geary, the Republican candidate has served the country as a Statesman and a soldier. He is ener getic aud progressive. The issue in the can vass in Pennsylvania will be dollars, age, and imbecility, against brains, patriotism, and ac tivity. POOK PACKER! POOR DEMOCRACY! —Why will not our opponents be at least a little con sistent? Hear what the I roy rimes says: The Democratic candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania is unnecessarily severe upon Andrew Johnson. He pledges himself, in case of his election, to "a cautious and sparing use of the power to pardon offenders." Why kick the dead aninfal that once wore a lion's skia ?" A DEMOCRATIC journal says the Germans, who have deserted the Democracy, used to be the backbone of the party. Just so. And a great many of the leading representative men of the Republican party used to be the brains of the Democratic party. The bone and sinew thereof, the yeomanry of the land, are now the bone and sinew of the Republicans. This leaves nothing for the Democracy but matter, and a very poor quality of mat.er it is.— Chicago Post. THE political campaign in Ohio, was opened on the part of the Republicans, by a large meeting at Wilmington (Ohio), on the 12th inst.. which was addressed by the Republican candidate, Governor HATS, who has been re nominated, and Senator MOBTO.V, of Indiana. The change ot front made by the Democracy in substituting PENDLETON for ROSECRANS, has added increased interest to the coutest, and a spirited and exhaustive discussion of the platforms, principles and policy of the contending parties has been commenced. Now that a chairman of the Democratic State Committee has been appointed, the committee can fix up a "schedule of prices" for services in the Packer campaign : The Village Record recommends the following: "A cheer for.Packer, three drinks ; an offer tobeton Packer's election, $2 00; a discus sion in his interest, SSO ; hunting up a new voter, $7: getting out a coffee colored natur alization paper, $10: denunciation of the Registry Law, $1 25 ;an argument to show that Packer commanded a corps in the Union army, SIOO : a good article on his liberality. $40." THE Ohio Democracy are uot- all for Rosecrans. Another Convention is to as semble under the following call, which ap pears in the Bucyrus Journal: A Convention of the Democracy of Ohio will be held at New Washington, Crawford county, on Wednesday, 28th July, to nomi nate a State ticket. None but those known as Copperheads during the war need attend. Published according to the wishes of straightout Democrats. A similar movement in Pennsylvania will be next ia order. The call should read: "None but those in favor of a poor man's candidate need attend." IT was a rare instance of retributive justice when the Democratic newspapers of Pennsyl vania which, for the last two years had alter nately ridiculed, cursed and denounced "Car pet Baggers" as the essence of all that was mean, contemptible and deiestible, were plac ed under the necessity of advocating the claims of one of that despised and hated class to the Governorship of the State. Packer is the most complete and pronounced specimen of a Carpet Bagger that ever set up for an office in a strange place. He Carpet Bagged from Connecticut to Mauch Chunk, where he made a big fortune off the people and then carpet bagged away from them and his own family to a tavern in Philadelphia, to avoid the payment of his taxeß. We dtfy the Democratic papers to produce any oth;r Car pet Bagger who cau match this latter feat in meanness. WHILE Republican dissensions hivo re sulted in the 10-s of Virginia and Tennessee, our friends in Alabama have boeu wiser in creasing their majority, and makin| large gains from among their old and influential opponents. This hariuony will be emulated in Mississippi, whore the conservative sham has been fairly exposed. A full Stale ticket will soon be put in nomination, to le sup ported by every Republican friend of tbe Administration and of tho solid intqicsts of the people. UooLs and Periodicals.

If the old saying "It takes a rogue to catch a rogue," be tiue, young Jeicmiah Falvey. when he has grown up, will tea very expert detective. Jeremiah is only ten years old, but has already shown himself to be a "sharp one" by escaping from the custody of Detective Swan, who says it is the first time a prisoner Las escaped from him in the scveutecn years of his experi ence. It seems that Patrick Mhoney, who keeps a grocery -tort at No. 'JB Brook street, had fifteen dollars stolen from his tnonoy drawer on Tuesday evening last, \oung Falvey was suspected of the theft, and, on Thursday, his father very comnaendably took him to the polite station and placed him in the hands of the officer. Alter Jeremiah was locked in his cell, he was questioned by the officer, and confessed to having stolen the money, lie said ho bad hidden himself in the store over the evening mentioned, and after it wa. cL. oi : r the night took the money and went and hid it in 31 r. Salisbury's coal yard, ile was not only willing hut anxious to go and find the money, and plead that an officer might go with him f'or that purpose. De tective Swan and the Chief ot Police finally yielded to the boy's wishes, and went with him to the coal yard. Arrived there, Jere miah led Detcciive Swan out to the end of one of the elevated shoots, u.-i d in discharg ing coal. There they found a hole just large enough to allow the young sharper to craw! through. He said the money was in this hole, aud the officer, not suspecting the youth was playing any games upon him to escape, directed him to "go in." lie did go in. and came out at the "large end of the horn.'' Officer Swan heard some thing drop on the ground below, and infer red directly what the youngster was at. He wouldn't be fooled in that way, and so he immediately dropped, not through the hole, but over the side of the shoot, lie found to his surprise that he and Jeremiah had cone to very difierent places. lie was iD the bottom of a coal bin, and nobody within hearing to help him out. Ho succeeded in clambering up the side of the bin, without injury, except to his clothes, in which, when lie cauio out he might have been mistaken for a coal heaver. When lie teached the ground Jeremiah had been gone f'or some time, and the officers were compelled to return without him, or the money, which they firmly believed was not in the hole. Mr. Falvey, senior, works in the yard, and the Loy in playing there had become acquainted with ail its mysteri ous passages and means of escape. A boy of his smartness ought to be engaged in some thing better than stealing.— Providence Press. Wooden Toothpicks Every eating house visitor of this city and other leading cities of the Union has doubt less noticed a small tumbler of wooden tooth picks upon the counter of the cashier, for the use of customers. Those toothpicks are a good feature of the present day. The wooden toothpicks have to a considerable extent superseded the gold, horn, ivory and other articles of the kind formerly in use. Their manufacture is carried on by but one establishment, which has been ia operation four years. It is near Boston, and employs thirty hands of both sexes. The machinery has been patented, and is propelled by water power. The woods used are maple and willow. The agency is solely in Boston, and ail purchases for use elsewhere must be made there. The toothpicks are packed in paste-board boxes of two sizes. One box is three inches long, by two wide and one deep. It contains three hundred, and sells i'or six cents. The other encloses twenty five hundred, and is five inches long, three wide and three deep. The boxes are packed in wooden cases for shipment, or retailed in tho city singly by the carriers. The sales are qnite large, and amount at times to for ty and fifty cases a day, each containing one hundred thousand toothpicks. The aggre gate number sold, therefore, amounts in that period to four or fivo millions. MOKAIONISM, at Salt Lake, is threatened from a new quarter. Two sons of Joseph Smith, the first "prophet" of the sect, have made their appearance in Utah, boldly preaching the true doctrine to the Saints.

THE Joint Committee of Congress on Re trenchment and Reform, accompanied by a number of ladies and friends are in Chicago, on their way to San Francisco, where they propose investigating tho workiugs of the revenue system, and to detect if any smug gling is going on in that section. The party appears to have resolved itself into quite a respectable excursion, just having enough governmental authority to secure attention while on the journey. However, they pay their own expenses, and who will complain of their combining pleasure with business? THE Buffalo express on the Northern Central road which left Ilarriaburg at 3:15 Saturday morning, fit four o'clock struck a rock three feet in diameter, which had roll ed from the mountain at Dauphin Narrows. The engine left the track and shot over a stone wall into a country road, and thence ihrough another stone wall into the canal. The engine and tender, and three express cars, loaded principally with peaches, were smashed to atoms. One passenger car well filled with passenger®, was jammed into the wreck, but no passengers were killed, al though some were slightly injured and bruis ed. Only two persons were killed, Charles A. Stewart, of Baltimore, and Jacob Criss man, of Heading, fireman, who was terribly mutilated and blackened. The engineer died in an hour aiter the accident, after suf fering excrutiating pain.

First Mortgage Ixind- Grant and Sinking Fund Ponds, secured upon the extent ion of the Railway from near .Sheridan, in Kansas, to Denver, Colorado, a distance ol 2;>7 miles, of which 12 miles are com pleted, and the rest is under construction.

In addition to this the Bonds are also secured by a first mortgage of the Government Land Grant of Three Mil lion Acrcsy extending in alternate sections on either side of the track, from the mile post in Kansas to Denver. The proceeds of tbe sale of these lands arc to be invested by the Trustees in the 7 per cent Bonds themselves tip to 120 or in U.S. bonds, as ♦1 Sinlcing Fund for the Redemption of the Bonds. The lands embrace some of the finest portions of the magnificent Territory of Colorado, inclu ding a coal field and pinery. The company also holds as an asset another tract of Three Million* of Acres in the Slate of Kansas, and although Dot pledged as a security for this Loun, their possession adds largely to the Com pany's wealth aud credit. We estimate the 11due of the Company's property, covered by this mortgage, at $23,000,1100 net, while the Loan is merely 30,500,000.

Everybody has suffered so much from tho ac cursed credit system, if system it can be called, that I intend to offer to everybody a Panacea for the ovil in the tuturo. On and after the Ist day of June, 1860, I will soil EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASH OR PRODUCE. No doubt some custom ers may be lost to me, but I flatter myself, that it will be only those from whom I cannot collect present accounts. All goods will be sold at about one-half the profit now paid by customers. Tbe People often complain of Bedford prices being higher than elsewhere, and doubtlese true to some extent, and for the reason that good customers have had to pay for others goods, with an addi tional profit on their own. Let an intelligent community sustain me in this enterprise and they will save ten to fifteen per cent on everything they consume. Hmay3m IRVINE.
