Circumstances some times occur that lead to tho nomination of soma now and unexpected man, or to the adoption of a princlplo at vartanco with the Hound judgment of tho masses. Tho nom inations of l'olk, Taylor, Harrison and l'icrco wcro tho result of circumstances In side of tho conventions which nominated them rather than a preference by tho peo ple, Tho Democratic Convention of 1804 nominated the army's favorite, Con. McClcl lan, but blundered sadly as to Us platform. The New York Convention of 18G3 rejected Pendleton, but adopted his financial theory. In 1872 tho platform was well enough, but one oflho candidates was not a Democrat. At Pittsburg in 1874, our Stato Conven tion was composed of able, earnest men, who made an admirablo platform, and nam ed excellent candidates, lho rcsulc was success. At Krio a year later, tho Convention was mobbish, and led by such political advcii' turcrs as Wright and Hughes. Tho states men of tho State, if wo have any, either kept away, or wcro powerless to check tho gush ing oratory of Schuylkill's champion. In Committee, Hughes was defeated, J.ind by a trick secured there tho adoption of his soft resolutions, and intolerance prevented tho expression" of any adverse opinion. Hughe, cot his candidate nnd platform, and the Democratic party was defeated. At that timb tho Comjmihax took the opportunity of censuring tho Erio dema gogues, and tho (aha principles then enunci ated. For this we wcro taken to task by many of our brethren. But Lancaster has vin dicated our position. Tho demagogues and political advouturers wcro placed in the rear and their anti democratic principles ropudi ated. Tho people havo spoken, and so fitly that not even a howl is heard from those hurt. Wo co into tho canvass unshackled. Our platform is broad, generous, Democratic, "By this Bign wo conquer." Tho Williamsport Gazette & Bulletin al though a Republican rapcr, is not without honesty ; as will bo seen from tho annexed article, concerning the confirmation ot Kicn ard H. Dana Jr, nominated by tho Presl' dent as Minister to England. Mr. Dana's appointment is endorsed by every reputable and decent man in Mass achusetts. Both senators from that state, and tho delegation in tho house, irrespec tive of party, are urging tho confirmation; a memorial has been signed by tho presiding offlcersof both branches of tho Massachusetts legislature, and nearly all the members, irrespective of party requesting the senate to confirm; President Woolsey, of New Ha ven, has written a letter to Senator Dawes in favor of Mr. Dana, and says tho latter -is not guilty of literary piracy; the similari ty in his notes and writings to othersi is not sufficient to warrant unfavorable action by tho senate; and it is further stated that letters aro pouring into Washington from all sides from distinguished persons through out tho country to senators and members. This is the state of affairs, in tho midst of which tho senate committee says the nomi nation is one not fit to be made. It has now come to be a question between all the honest people of the country and Bin But ler! Can the senate of the United States hesitate a moment under such circumstan ces? It may bo well to receive with care the testimony of some of tho witnesses before the investigating committees at Washington. The evidence given by lobbyists, brokers nnd others of that kind should be rigidly scrutinized and not finally accepted as con clusive without some corroborating testimony. People who follow pursuits of doubtful purity cannot bo regarded without suspicion, and they are none too good to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to blacken the reputation of honorablo men. Those who would defraud either the government or their clients would not probably stop at perjury if there was anything to gain by so doing. We are led to these remarks by tho charco made by one Lilly, a broker of Washington, who has for some timo carried on the business of selling cadetshlps, that he gave Gen. A. II. Coffroth of this State $G0O, Gen. Coffroth indignantly denied the charge and since.tben we havo heard noth ing of It. In the absence of anything more conclusive than Lilly's word we should liesi- tato to accept tho statement, especially as Gen. Coffroth has always borne a good repu tation. It is very common with Republican pa pers to blamo the Democratic party for having no financial policy and to attribute to that cause the continued business do pression of the country. Of course this is the .sheerest nonsense; tho Democratic party are not responsible for tho state of affairs which exists.; that is the result of Republi can financial tinkering. But in what respect is the Republican party better off ? Is there no difference of opinion in that organization as to the proper financial course? Thoro is as much dissension among them as among Democrats. The fact is that tho money question is not a political but a personal one, and is not restrained by political views, as a general tiling. According to tho Grcensburg Argus, Hon. Jacob Turney, member of Congress from tho AVestmoreland district, says that the In vestigating committco has traced fraud to the steps of the White House, and thinks, before long, the door bell of the Executive mansion will be rung for further explana tions.

Tho Republican Stato Convention met at noon on Wednesday last In Harrlsburg. W. H. Koontz, of Somerset, was mado tempora ry chairman, which was a concession to tho party outsldo of tho Cameron-Mackcy ring. Edward Mcl'hcrson, formerly Clerk of tho llousu of Representatives was chosen per manent chairman. J. Don Cameron, a mem ber of tho ruling family, W. R. Leeds, tho Pilgrim leader, 11. M. Hoyt, of Wilkes- Barro, tho present Chairman of tho Stato Committee nnd R. W. Mackoy, ex-Stato Treasurer and financial manager for tho ring wero elected dclcgatcs-at-large. Russcl Errctt was to havo been ono of tho delegates- at-large, but his Congressional aspirations probably necessitated his withdrawal. Ben jamin H. Brewster and John W. Chalfant wore chosen as clectors-at-largo. Tho plat form of the Lancaster Convention of last year was reaffirmed and Hartranft declared the choice of tho Convention for President. The Radical organs are qulrmlng under tho oxposuros of Republican rotlenncsi nnd aro dovlslnjj nil manner of plans to divert attention from tho results of Democratic In vestigations. The nttneks made on tho Hon. Hiestcr Clymer aro attributable to this dread of exposure. Tho Miltonian has just discovered n new causo for alarm. It says : The present session of Congress, notwith standing tho boasts of the Democrats is not lifcely to prove a prontaoio ono inr mo pco pie. It has beeii in session nearly lour months, nothinc has been done worth men- tionlng, except the exposure of a few Demo cratic thieves, nnd experienced members predict that nn adjournment will not take place before the first of July. Tho indis criminato reduction of appropriations will be moro than counterbalanced by tho ex penses necessarily attendant upon a long session nnd the evils likely to How lrom it. Now that is refreshing. Members of Con gress get no more salary if they remain in session until July, than if they adjourn in April, but "tho expenses necessarily at tendant upon a long scssion"ought to be saved and tho thieves (whom tho Miltonian In genuously calls Democratic) allowed to go unscathed and robberies pass unchallenged to snvo "expenses. " It's "tho evils likely to flow" from a continuanco in session that troubles tho Miltonian. Belknap was one of those "evils" and thcro aro more of them to como yet. When a Republican is tried Woro a St Louis jury and found "not guilty," it is about timo that the Democratic press of tho couutry take back some of the malignant expressions winch tendcei to prcjueigc tno case. If General Babcock had been found cuiltv the opponents of tho administration would have devoted columns to tho justlco of tho verdict. How many will have tho manhood to devote a singlo paragraph to the justice of his acquittal? Bclkontc Republican. If Gen. Babcock's trial had been frco from suspicion there would have been many opponents of tho administration who would havo- assented cheerfully to the justice of his acquittal. Butthero were some points connected with his trial which wcro of a very dubious character. An investigating committco is now endeavoring to get at the facts relative to a certain letter written by Attorney General Pierrepont, a copy of which found its way into Babcock's possession nnd was by him given to his attorneys, greatly to his advantage. Such upright Republi cans as Bristow have no reason to complain of unfairness on the part of opponeuts of the administration. They have been pr&is- ed for their good works and warmly support ed in their efforts to administer the affairs of government with honeisty and fidelity.

Judgo Jerry Black's opinion of the Dem ocratic House ot jicprceentnuvcs was ex pressed, according to a Washington corres pondent, in the following emphatic terms lie was remonstrating against tho commit ment of his client, Kilbourne, when one of his Democratic friends said : "But, Judge, wo couldn't do differently." "Couldn't do differently 1" retorted tho Judge contemptu ously; 'Wouldn't do differently I All that the Democrats In this House are after Is garbage garbage ; and it won't be long be fore you'll be thrown out as garbage your selves 1" iV. We don't take any stock in the above story. The Democrats of tho House have certainly unearthed a good deal of what is unpleas antly like garbage, but the Judge must know that it is Republican filth and certainly those men who havo been instrumental in bringing it to light and showing to the coun try what corruption exists in the admlnis- tration ranks, are not likely to be thrown out by the people for so doing, The story smacks of the Press office. The New York Republican Convention was held in Syracuse, March the 22d, The platform adopted was not remarkable for anything except in two of its resolutions, The fourth resolution condemns dishonesty and eulogizes Grant s administration. This it will be observed is a beautiful combina tion of sentiments and may bo fitly char acterized as a case whero "extremes meet,' The fifth resolution praises Conk ling un presents him as a candidate for tho Presl deucy. This was adopted by a vote of 250 to 113. Another gigantic fraud has just been brought to light, this time in the Pension otlice,at Washington, Henry Yon Acruaiu Commissioner of Penslous from 1809 to 1871 whilst In office- permitted tho issuing of 2300 fraudulent land warrants,whlch brought in market about 100,000.

Sherman gives as ono of his reasons for leaving Washington that ho had to en tertnln there to such nn oxtcnt as to mako It Impossible for him to llvoon his salary. But why should Sherman, or any other man in Washington, get up costly entertainments which ho cannot afford, to pcoplo whom he does not desire in his house? His official position in tho army docs not rcquiro him to entertain members of Congress, or Cabi net ministers, or members of the diplomatic corps, or anybody else. It would be better fur him, instead of making a display of ex travagance, as nn army officer, to set nn ex ample of Spartan simplicity. Marshal Von Moltke, tho great soldier at tho head of the German army, lives in a very plain style, nnd would never think of getting Tip such banquets, balls, or revels as are common in Washington. Tho fact is that a great many people at tho capital havo been running crazy over mis business oi cnieriainmcni and fashionable display. They try to outdo each other in extravaganco and flashness. They must get money somehow to keep up their rivalries; and as salaries could not very well be fixed at a figure high enough to meet all demands, somo of them resort to crooked ways of raising it. Grant is largely responsible for this stato of things through his mercenary devotion to the worship of ihoddy and wealth. If Gen. Sherman should now take his headquarters hack to Wash - ngton, ho can do credit to himself, as a man and a soldier, by ceasing to encourage or patronize tho ostentation of pretenders, and by refrainiug from entertainments which he cannot nftord, with his large salary. iV. 11 Sun. Washington county, Pennsylvania, newspaper, states that n new construction has been given to tho stato usury laws, by the president judgo of that county. The matter is stated as follows : "In the Jona than West usury cases before our county courts, his honor, Judge Acheson, last week decided that where tho payment vvo3 uot oluntnry that is, mado by constraint of f execution the debtor can protect him self by application to tlio court to stay the execution, and deduct excess of interest But if ho fails to do this, and pays the monev, no cannot recover. . mis on me road ground that there must be a stopping point to litigation somewhere Tho motion to obtain judgment for excess of interest was therefore overruled." It would be in teresting to havo a moro exhaustive report of tho process of reasoning and tho grouuds of law by which the learned judge arrives nt the conclusion stated above, that under the state law a voluntary payment of usurious nterest precludes action for recovery. If this is so, it is of great Importance that bankers and business men should know it. It would also bo an interesting subject of inquiry whether tno "uroau ground on winch tins decision is reached, would not apply equally in arresting tho operation of tho usury provisions of tho national bank ing act. Gazetted- Bulletin, The democrats of Pennsylvania return to tho democratic doctrine of sound currency and say the right word nt tho right time. There is no doubtful sound about their de claration for an honest payment of the debt of tho nation and tho sound preservation of the public faith. The Sherman sham is de nounced and its repeal demanded, m order that a practical measure which will perform more effectually If it promises less loudly, may be substituted for it. Gold and silver tho only true basis of currency, and bucIi legislation as will most surely and speedily bring about resumption theso are tho col ors that tho democrats of Pennsylvania nail to tho mast-head in lieu of tho fulso colors they borrowed last year from tho republi cans ana lough; unucrso disastrously. N.Y. World. A few years sinco tho Iowa Legislature dispensed with hanging for murder. Since then n great many Iowa trees havo been adorned by Judge Lynch's victims, and now the folks over there aro suggesting a return to tho old method of punishment, in order that the few trees they havo may receive pro tection. They do not object so much to iv reduction of the population by mob law as they do to the breaking of limbs from their trees. The Supremo Court of the United States delivered an opinion on Monday in the Kentucky Election case, deciding that the act of Congress under which certain whites were Indicted for Interfering with tho exer cise of the suffrage of colored voters is un constitutional and void. Tho court also delivered an opinion in tho Grant Parish cases from Louisiana, affirming the uncon stitutiouality of the Enforcement act. Tho Now York Trihune justly compll ments tho chairman Qf the Democratic State central committco by saying i "Tlio choice of Captain McClelland, of Pittsburg, as chairman of the Stato central committee, was a fortunate one. He is a young and en ergetlo man, who has served a term in Con gress, and who adds to an Irreproachable re cord all the qualifications that count in con ducting an active political canvass." i I w The industry of the Investigating com. in it tees at Washington is bringing to light frauds committed years ago. The Democrats seem determined that tho Republican crow shall bring back not only last year's stolen corn but also that of two or thrco years back. WASHINOTON IiETTEH. Washington, D. 0., March 28, 187G. Special Correspondence. A majority of the commitlco on Indian affairs has reported In favor of transferring tho Indian Bureau from that sink of iniquity tlio Indian department to tho War depart ment. As Belknnp is out this Is ngood move, for tho new Secretary of War, Judgo Taft Is known to bo nn honest man. It Is hardly to bo hoped that tho change will bo made, as under tho present arrangement tlio recom mendations for Indian ngenU nre divided among various religious denominations and they will bring all tho luiluenco to bear that Is posstblo to provent tho transfer of their patronage. It is a remarkable fact that sinco tho appointment of Indian agents, In tho present way thcro has been moro rascality in tho transactions with tho Indians than over before. Either these religious agents nro very chlld-liko and easily Imposed tipon or they "go snooks" with lho other thieves in plundering both tho government uud tho Indians. Tlio Belknap articles of impeachment nre uot yet prepared, nor have the managers of tho Houso yet been elected, both will bo done this week and it is presumable the trial will commence next week. Sufficient evi dence has been secured to render his con viction certain, though as yet it is uncertain whether tho Sccato will.try tho case upon its merits, as Belknap's attorneys will claim that his resignation deprives tlio Senato of the right to try. TI1I3 was evidently Grant's idea when ho so hastily accepted tho resig nation of his corrupt Secretary. It has been proven before the committee on War expen ditures that Orvillo Grant sold several Post- tradershlps and tho disgusting spectaclo is exhibited, of tho President of the United States allowing his brother to peddlo out tho official patronage. Secretary Bristow even, tlio man whom every 0110 thought had "the clean hands and puro heart" of which all tho members of tho administration were known to be lack- ng,has been smirched inamulo transaction, Tho caso was beforo the court of claims when Bristow was assistant Attorney General in 1872 and was barred by the statute of limi tations, but Secretary Belknnp directed that this plea should not bo made, subsequently the right to appeal was waived and Bristow inving resigned became nn attorney for tho ilainlifi". All of which taken together does not look well. The most disgraceful of all Belknap's transactions yet brought to light is tho steal mado in putting head-stones to the graves of tho dead soldiers. Even in this work the government was robbed, of Bcvcral hundred thousand dollars and it has been proven that the favored contractor had been assured that he would not bo required to nbldo by the specifications. How much ho paid for this assurance and who recciyed tho money lias not yet been discovered. The House will hereafter meet three nights of each week to discuss the appropriation bills. A determined effort is being mado by the Republican members of tho Houso to defeat tho economies proposed by the com mittee. And the Republicans of the Senate have declared they will not agree to the bills as reported. Their committco has taken the deplomatic and consular bill passed by tho Houso and restored all tho officers cut off by the House bill, and havo placed the salaries at the old figures. Tho indications are that thero will be a protracted struggle on these bills, that may carry the session well over nto the summer. Jay Gould and his party having discovered that they were beaten and that the Texas aud Pacific bill would certain ly pass, quietly smuggled a new bill into the Senate committee on Railroads by which they proposed to take tho lands granted to the Texas and Pncific nnd build a road which would be under tho control of tho Texas central and have its only terminus Galves ton. Monday was set for the consideration of this bill in the committee,and Huntington, Gould's Man Friday, came over from New York witli a strong lobby to work it up. There are whispers that Senator West of Louisana, who has been a strong friend of tho Texas and Pacific favors this new pro ject. It is directly against tho interests 01 tho State ho represents and recalls the fact that when the question of tho maimer of opening the mouth of tho Mississippi river was under discussion, West was strongly in favor of tho Fort St. Philip canal, until a certain timo when he suddenly becamo an advocate of tho Jetty Plan. Huntington told a member of Congress that he would spend a million dollars to defeat the Texas and Pncific bill. Ho may havo been using convincing arguments with West. The Supremo Court has just rendered two most important decisions on the constitution ality of the Forco bill or Ku Klux act. Ono is an appeal fromlCentucky in tho cases ot Ilirman Reese and Matthew I-ousheo who were indicted lor relusing to receive and count tho vote of a colored man named Win Garner. After an cxha ustlvc review of tho enso tho court, nil tho judges concurring ex cept Mr. Jitbtico Hunt, decided the law was unconstitutional and that Congress had not provided "approprato legislation on tlio sub- ject. Tho other enso was from Louisiana where Win. J. Cruikshank, Wm. D, Irviu and John P, Hadnot wcro indicted under tho Ku Klux act for "banding and couspir- Ing together to intimidate certain citizens of African descent and thereby to prevent them from voting. Without deciding upon tho constitutionality of tlio law, the prisoners were discharged becauso of tho vaguery of tho indictment. But tho dicta of tho court very plainly indicated that had been beforo them properly they would havo declared the law unconstitutional. Tho Payno caucus bill on finances was brought up Monday and defeated, receiving only 81 votes. As I have said in another letter this bill does not satisfy cither the hard money or tho greenback men, hence its defeat. Tho administration men aro openly work ing for Conkling tho most devoted Hench man of Grant. Tho Democrats should aid them in securing his nomination as it would surely result in the election of tho Demo cratic candidate. Dhm, Belknap says, and probably with bomo show of truth, that tho initial steps in tho I'ort Sillpost-tradcrship business were ta ken by members of his family without his knowledge. If this bo, so, tho cuso of tho President Is morally worse than that of tho Secretary of war, for tlio former furnished his brother Orvil with tho Information nec essary to enablo hlmto make money by peddling out post tradershlps, tho President knowing the uso his brother was to mako of this Information. By tho by, when tho lie publicans were engaged in Impeaching An drew Joiinbon, how they would have ro jolccd to find facts lu regard to Johnson and a member of his family llko thoso brongli out before Ol.YMIat s committee concerning tho Grants.

They aro not opposed to I uniting "Church and State." THE STATE CAPITOL. IlAnnisnuna, March 28, 1870. As the Legislative work nl lilt week was divested of considcrnblo of Its liitcMt by the assembling of tho democratic clans at Lancaster, so Hits week has been bisected by nn adjournment on Wednesday (to-morrow) on account of tlio gathering of republicans pi Convention to-morrow. On Thursday after tlio return of tho dem ocrats, tlio famous "boom bill" was taken up n tho Houso and forced through n second reading, which action was a djfoat of the ringsters and decidedly one of tho best pieces of work ncompllshcd by tho Homo during tho present session. Philadelphia's states men are very sore at tho rosult ; they vow vengcanco and retaliation may bo looked for 'n somo qu.uter or other. Quito a stir was occasioned last night amongst the friends of tho Centennial by tho Intelligence transmitted from tho Senate, that the bill appropriating $10,000 to erect a Stato C.'iiteuiiial building had been de feated in that body. Tho bill was called up prematurely by Senator Anderson of Craw ford and considerably moro opposition to It than was expected being developed It fell, to tho chagrin of its friends and wo might add somewhat to tho astonishment of its enemies who scarcely expected such n re sult, their object being not to day tlio un patriotic part of opposing tho hill in tola, but to modify Its provisions as to the amount to bo appropriated and the manner of expendi ture. This morning in 11 full senato tho vote negativing the bill was reconsidered and it passed third reading with an amendment at tached providing that a joint committee of tho two houses of tho Legislature should act with tho State board of Centennial comrnis sioncis in tho expenditure of the amount appropriated by tho bill. Tho House today concurred lu this amendment, and tho bill has become a law unless tho Gubernatorial signature, is withheld, which action, it is not likely an aspirant for Presidential honors in the centennial year will beguilty of. Another Centennial hill has also passed into tho hands of tho Governor nnniely, tlio 0110 appropria ting $15,000 for a proper educational display at tlio Centennial. No better appropriation than the last-mentioned could have been made. As the session waxes long, the croakers on cither hand nro heard anon, nnd more than croakers aro now beginning to inquire why it is that the session is so prolonged. This is a question which tlio "gabblers" might with greatest propriety nuswer but lo, they are the most anxious inquirers as to the cause of tho prolonged session. Action upon tho general appropriation is generally supposed to bo indicative of the approach of the close, and the final passage of that bill is a ture forerunner of final adjournment. As a ray of hope to your readers that the present ses sion will close sometime before tho summer's over I will mention the fact that tho gener al appropriation bill was called up in the Houso to-day, but alas, after the reading of its first section, it was laid over to be con sidered at a future date. A bill introduced somo time ago in the Houso at tlie instance of the medical frater nity of the state, after surviving many stur dy blows, to-day succumbed to the pressure of opposition and has gone to find a resting place with many another ill-fated compaii iotl. This bill had it becomo a law would havo allowed tho surgical fraternity to take possession of the bodies of deceased con victs and others, when unclaimed, and chop tho same up, in the interests of science. Delegates to the Republican Convention nro arriving from every direction to-night,in tho midst of a terrific rain-storm. As your readers will be fully cognizant of all the work of to-morrow's convention, beforo this commuuication.is placed before them, I will abstaiii from prognostications or comments. a. A London letter, written bince Schenck took his hasty and unceremonious depart ure, speaks of that event as "a shameful flight out of England and a gross discourtesy to the Queen." It was then believed in I.on don that Schenck mado his escape under false pretenses, which was true enough though tho real facts aro worse than tho English seem to.have suspected. The writer of the let ter referred to speak sof a prevalent suspicion that Schenek's resignation had already been accepted when ho quitted tho country under pretense that ho was only to be absent tem porarily on leave. They aro ready enough to believe anything bad of Schenck over there, out it has not occurred to them, evi dently, that tho President of tho great American Republic could mako himself.a partner in Schenek's disgraco by granting him a leave of absence alter demanding his resignation, and then delaying to accept tho latter until the fleeing minister could escape a waiting constable and get beyond tho jur isdiction of British couits. Tho correspond ent seems to think it inconceivable that, knowing long before the resignation to be on its way, tlio President had not accepted It by Saturday, March 4, when Schenck Bailed, nor even by tho next afternoon, when tho Abyssinia,with tho fugitive from British justice on board, lay two hours at Queens- town. Ho cannot believo that tho accept ance was delayed till Monday morning when a successor was nominated to the Senate. Yet Grant was equal to that very piece of strategy, notwithstanding tho fact that when ho asked Schenck to resign ho intimated his intention to appoint n successor without waiting to receive nnd accept tho rcsigna tiou, telling Schenck to word the latter so as to take effect when his successor entered upon tho duties of tho post. If tho English were bcandalized over Schenek's precipitate flight, what will they say when they learn from tho correspondence sent to the Houso by Fish that tho President facilitated that flight?

From tho gulf of tho St. Lawrenco to the shores of tho Pacific, and in many countiies anroiiu, thcro aro lew villages or humlets without "living testimonials to tho rap idity and certainty of its curative effects Tho proprietors, mindful of their responsi bility to the afflicted, exercise tlio utmost cure In tho selection and compound of tho various Ingredients of which tho Balham is composed ; and tho sick aro assured that the high standard of excellence on which Its popularity Is bused, will always bo maintain od. Sinn W. Fowli: a- Sons, Proprietors, 1(081011, Tho New York S thinks that Grant might consistently support Bristow, tho only reformer in tho Cabinet, and says, dryly "To bo sure It might not do Mr, Bristow any good ; but it would bo a great benefit to tho reputation of tho President." Item. Tho heavy freshets ofSaturdny in New England caused considerable damngo to properly in Rhode Island nnd Connecti cut. Tho well-known hymn, "Rock of Ages," was written 100 years ago this month, lu March, 1770. Its author was Augustus Mon tague Toplady, fly tho fall of a roof in tho chamber of tho Pine Brook coal shall, near Scranton, on Saturday, two men, named Kelley nnd Kll culliii, vcro Instantly killed. A block of silver, highly polished, 3 feet in length, 12 Inches In diameter, worth $G 1,000 lu gold, and said to weigh -1,200 pounds, has been sent from tho City of Mex ico for exhibition, as ono of tho products of that country. Adler & Furst, distillers, of St, .loscph, havo been found guilty of violating tho rev cnuo laws. Their minimum penalty Is fifty- five years' Imprisonment nnd $27,500 flno. An evening paper nt Manchester, N. H., publishes tho statement that J. Q. A, Sar gent, ot that place, paid Secretary Belknap twelve thousand dollars for a contract to fur nish heating apparatus in tho government buildings at Fort Leavenworth. Mr. Rysdyk's famous stallion, Ham bletnnlan, died nt Chester on Sunday night, aged about 23 years. Ho was tho Biro of the most uottd ami valuable trotting stock lu the country. Nathaniel McKay, lho Contractor, who was charged in the Philadelphia 7Iirj with be ing implicated in certain fraud nt tho Navy Yard, has brought a libel suit against Col. McClure, editor, and Frank M. Laughlin tho publisher of that paper. The town of Bloomington, III., is in danger of being overcrowded by tax-bur. dened citizens, ns soon ns it becomes gener ally known that tho assets of that tiwni amount to $200,000 moro than its liabili ties, and the taxes are beautifully small. If the centennial exhibition cots $7, 500,000, tho amount claimed to complete it, in order simply to realizo this sum it will bo necessary for 15,000,000 pcoplo to visit it at once, at tho prico of admission, 50 cents ; nnd ns the time is confined to 15S days (from May 10 to November 10, deducting Sundays, on which it will be closed), It will re quire tho daily attendance of over 91,000 people.
