I. . 1 At the eleventh hour, a warrant has been issued against George O. Evans for embtz element, on an Information made, by State Treasurer Mackey. Evans is in New York, anfl if proper dilligence is used by the offi cers of the law he can be arrested. That tlie State, however, will ever recover from him the money he has stolen is not by any means probable. A t.aros party of New Jersey colored men from Jersey City, Patterson, Ilackpn- ! sack, Lodi, and other places, held a picnic in the suburbs of the classic village of Frog- town one day last week and in the evening organised themselves Into an Anli Grant mass meeting. Mr. Scndder, of Lodi, was the principal speaker. IIo said that the colored rnen had elected Grant, and it was now time for white Republicans to do the fair thing by voting for a colored Fregidcnl. He maintained that brother James Andrews, of the Lodi colored church, was a greater statesman than Grant, and that he ought to be nominated for President by the colored men of the United States. He also said that Benjamin, Williams a colored citizen of Rich- mood, Virginia, who is extensively engaged - -, v, ! t, v ... i n the oyster business, ought to be placed on , the same ttoket for ice President. When the colored troops waver the battle is half lObt GiiAmT having become wearied with the dullness and monotony of life at Long Branch, it is now annoanced by the Radical press that about the middle of this month he intends, in company with Gen. Porter, Tom Murphy, Lis faithful Achates, and other choico Arcadians, to pay a visit to the coaZ and oiZ fields of this State, Of course there is nothing jtolitical in this unexpected hpgira into Pennsylvania "jut on the eve of her j State election. It would be uncharitable to J harbor such a suspicion. The Dronosed trio I ft is merely for the purposo of gratifying a longing curiosity on the part of Grant, who is greatly overworked by a too strict appli cation to the cares and perplexities of office. Here will be afforded an excellent opportu nity for some enterprising Schuylkill county coal operator, who wants an office for him self or his friend, to present Grant with a paying coal mine, and also for some enthu siastic Radical in Venango couny to force m his acceptance a No. 1 flowing oil well. If both these gifts are not furthcoming, then the coal aud oil regions of Pennsylvania that knew the "Second Washington" once, will know him no more forever. Texas Radicalism. Dark nnd crooked are the ways of Radi calism, but especially is this the case in the reconstructed States. Its lawless usurpa tions are a standing reproach and a burning lisgraco to the country its unlicensed exer cise of power a burlesque on government itself. Constitutions and laws are bat mere wax in its hands, to be moulded to suit its own ulterior purposes, and form no barrier to the gratification of its rapacity and its greed. Texas, through the force of Federal bayonets and negro vote, Is cursed and dis graced by a Governor named E. J. Davis, who has about as just an appreciation of the proper discbarge of the duties of his office as a native of the Feejee Islands, and who re cently issued an election order in which it is ordained that, in the event of any gathering of the citizens about the polls, "it shall be presumed that the same U for the purpose of intimidating voters, vhateter might be al leged by such person at the pretext thereof." Not satisfied with this brilliant achievement, he has followed it op by another effort which entirely eclipses it. The Grand Jury of Bastrop covnty having reported that peace and order prevail within its limits, his Ex cellency takes issue thereon, and orders the Sheriff of the county to do what no mortal Sheriff was ever directed to do before. Wit ness the subjoined record : To tde Cix zr.sa or Ba'tkop Coontt : la compliance with a letter from Governor E J.

Tliis gentleman, who is the Radical Speak er of the National House cf Kepretentatives. delivered a speech at Saratoga, a short time since, in which, in the tissual slang of Kadi calism, he debouueed the Democratic party as corrupt and its leaders dihhone&t. It is an old adage that a man who lives in a glass bouse should oot throw stones, and when a member of high etandiig in the Itadical church undertakes to accuse a great party and its tmefed and leading men of dishonesty, he himself should have clean hands and weir unsoiled garments. Fuiling iw these essentials, he should not be surprised at an rinnsure of his own record. Io referrire to th; h of g ker DlaioeUe New York . ,, ) "Mr. Blaine passes in Washington for a fnil Iionaire. He owns a house there, which is said to be worth some $511,000, and he lives in a 6tyle which indicates very ninr.le means. He owns rich coal mines in Pennsvl vania, rich i copper mines on Luke Stijmrior, tind a hand some pi irate M ate in Maine, besides his ex pensive mansion in Washington. Now it conies out that ten years ago this same Mr. Blaine was a pool man. He was two rears a member of the Maine Legislature, and has been eight vcars a member of Congress, having no other apparent means of acquiring money tna th moderate compensation of these ofii ces a compensation hardly suUicient to main tain the simple decencies of his position, with out any margin for luxury or display." Mr. Blaine resides in Augusta, Maine, and the editor of the Augusta Standard, having been requested to examine the tax list of that city for 1861 aud compare the taxes paid by Blaine in thutyear with the amount he paid in 1871, makes the following state ment : "In obedience to the polite request of our correspondent, we will say that an examination of the books of the assessors of the city for the year 1661, reveal the fact that Mr. Blaine's total valuation fur that year was $1,750. on which he paid a tax, including poll tax, of $25.S8. UN valuation this year is $37,000, aud tax $313.0. This $37,000, however, does not include a large coal and land property in the States of Pennsylvania nnd Virginia, nor a valuable interest in a Lake Superior copper mine, nor his princely residence in Washing ton, valued at 9 10, t)U0 or $50,000, or any other property. It only represents the assessed value of his property in this city, which probably is not a tenth, and perhaps not a twentieth of his total wealth. It wi 1 be seen that his valua tion has increased twenty fold in the last ten years, and that the tnx which he pays on prop erty in this city this year, is nearly one half what the whole valuation of h;s property was then. During all this time Mr Blaine has been actively engaged in politics; has-been Chairman of the Republican State Committee, and has boen continually in office. In lbCl aud 1862, he held the office of representative in the State LegisUfjjre, ata-salary of $150. aud for the last eight? years he has been a member of Congress with $.5,000 per year. At least $-10,- 3u0 of his reputed hill million of wealth was rec,ivd from tLese ftmrces from which( of cour.e must be dcducteJ hs clpeDse of liT. ing, sc. Such is the damaging record of a leading New England Radical and an aspirant after Presidential honors. lie is a fair sample of a class of men, such as Harlan, Morton. Sherman, and scores of others, who entered Congress as impecunious as Lazarus, but who have amassed princely fortunes and dwell in richly furnished houses. A seat in Coogreus has showered upon them the gold en sands of the fabled Pactolus, with as a much profuser.esa as thcugh they were the fortunate possessors of the wonderful lamp of Alad.Iin. When the first named of these worthies, a quondam minister of the gospel, went to Washington he was as poor as a Church mouse ; now he is a millionaire, owns a palatial residence and rolls in state in a magnificent carriage that would excite the envy of the Archbishop of Canterbury. These are the men who are eternally prating about and shedding crockodiln tears over the dishonesty and corrupt practices of the Democratic party. Guild brazen impudence and hypocrisy go further 7 Hon. Glorce II. Pendleton delivered a masterly speech on the 22d of August, at an immense masa meeting of tho Democracy of Claremonl and Warren counties. Ohio. Its h ngth precludes its publication in our col umns, but we cannot omit to lay befcre our readers the following eloquent tribute paid by Mr. Pendleton to his friend andco-labor- j er, tjie lamented Vallandigham : "Who can commence the discussion of polit ical tiest ions without being carried involun tarily to that scene of anguish and death which so lately.'clothed'our'party, our Slate, and our country, in mourning? " 'The silver cord Is loosened : The golden bowl is broken ;' the voice that spoke S3 eloquently and well is stilled : the intellect which thought so truly exerts its powers on other subjects, in other spheres: th strong, brave heart beats not to the conflict of time. "When I think of this I feel that we might imitate the captives of Judea. who, by the waters of Babylon, hurg their harps on the willows and sat down and wept when thev re membered Zion.' I did not know Mr. Vallan digham s long, perhaps, as many of you, but I knew him very well. During his whole ser vice in Congress I was his colleague. During the eventful sessions of 1&G1 2 3 1 was his daily associate and intimate friend. Dur ing the days of his arrest and trial and im prisonment I saw him st every hour that it waa possible, and did what I could to yiiticfate the pains which an infamous tyranny inflicted. In all those times of anxiety, and care, and suffering. I never hear! from his lips one word inconsistent with the loftiest patriotism, the most unfal terintr hope, and the most unbleuch ing courage. You know he was able, and elo quent, and self-reliant and studious; that he had great strength of will and force of chsrac tor, and that magnetism which attracted and attached men closely to him. He was al-o cool, and deliberate, and patient. Beyond most men whom I bare known he waa sensi tive to a'.tacks upon the porltv and motives of his character. I have seen him wounded in the quick his heart lacerated until it seemed sore to the tooch. and bleeding hie away by the vindictive, savage abuse so unsparioglv heaped upon him during the war. Never were attacks more unjust and infamous. No man loved his country more intensely, and sought for the wisest policy more conscien tiously, or would have sacrificed more readily or more abundantly health, and strength, and fortune, and even prejudices and preconceived opinions, to ecure its welfare. He would have been a war man if he could have believed that war would restore the Union. He would hare been a devoted snnported of the Republican partv, if he could have believed its policy would have maintained the guarantees of liber ty afforded by our Constitution. As he could not believe this, he would not swerve from the convictions of the "faith that was in him." even though his heart should bleed and break at the blind misconstruction of his character, and the wllfal perversion of his words and as persion of his motives. I thank God he lived long enough to see that time the Aenger. in whom he had such unwavering faith had commenced his work; and that many who had maligned him most were beginuing to see their error and to do liim justice. "I thank 0oJ tiiHt at the last the snn pene trated the ti.-iikness of the night, and that his eje saw", even though only lor a moment,' the niiets of the morning disrolring before its'ra diaut beams. Ar.d if it te (siren to men who have gone hence to care for, or to know, the estimation in which they are held on earth, I know his spirit will be gladdened by the fact that all his countrymen, without dissent, will believe that he Was as pure as he was able, as honest as he was brave, and as faithful as he was persistent." - Removal of J. M, M'Clure, Esq. A potty stroke of official malice and re venge which had ben impending for some time has fallen at last. Yesterday morning Attorney General Brewster removed Jes. M. M'C'ure, e--q , from the effice of Assistant Attorney General. On Tuesday, the 15tb intant, Mr. M'Clure received a verbal re quest to resign from the Attorney General, who informed him that a demand for his re moval had been made by Governor Geary. Mr. M'Clure very properly refused to resign, as he had been guilty of no neglect or fail ure in the petformai.ee his duty. But no notification of his removal was made, and he continued iu the discharge of his duties until yesterday. The firet hasty step had beeo considered. It was not deemed pru dent then to listen to sentiments of wrath and revenge. Governor Gav was already too deeply implicated in the Evans transac tion, and it was greatly feared that the im mediate removal of Mr. M'Clure wouid only deepen the popular conviction of his guilt. When it whs found that Mr. M'Clure was the possessor of too much firmness, hon esty aud courage to abandon the pursuit of Evans and his confederates, his removal was resolved on. What is the offers'? for which Mr. M'Clure has been removed ? IIo has suffered sim ply because of his fidelity to the interests of tho plundered aud betrayed Commonwealth. When he received a hiut that a gigautic con spit acy was iu existence, whote meml ers eugaged iu robbing the State of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he reto!ulely and fear lessly went to work to probe the villainy to the bottom. On discovering in the course of hu investigations that high filcials, includ ing the governor of the Commonwealth, were partners in the j b and sharers in the plunder, he did not falter nor hesitate in his tatk. While those whose tfiicial duty it was to protect the financial interests of the State, were either conniving at robbery, or utterly careless and negligent of their trust, Mr. M'Clure brought the villainy to light, though ho knew that removal from ifiice would be the icward of his services. The case of Mr. M'Clure is an example by which public officers will not fail to profit. They must connive at corruption and com pound t fficial feic ny if they would retain their places, and deserve the approval of their superioM. Fidelity to the the public interests is the worst of crimes. Had Mr. M'Clure been content with pouring into the bosnm of his official superior the secrets of which he had bicomo possessed, in order that that superior might turn the valuable information Io professional account, he never would.have suffered the loss of his posi tion, nor would the Evans mbrzzlement have ever been discovered. But Mr. Mc Clure chose to reveal to the citizens of the Commonwealth the conspiracy of which they are the victim, and he has fallen under the official wralh of Geary and Brewster. Had he remained silent he could have tetained his like and have received a share of the plunder, at the same time. But he man fully and honestly resolved to perform his duty, and in bringing this gigantic Evans embezzlement to the light of day, he has earned the plaudits of his fellow citizens, if he has met with the displeasure of Brew ster and Geary. The removal of M'Clure waa a bad stroke for Governor Geary. He has only added another strong suspicion to the thickly-accumulated proofs of his connection with the financial operations of Evans from first to last. On what theory consistent with his own innocence does he remove M'Clure for discovering the frauds of Evans? Are the Interests of Governor Geary so closely identi fied with those of Evans that a blow given to the one must be resented by the other? This removal of Mr. M'Clure shows the in timate nature of the Evans-Geary tffensive aud defensive alliance. If Evans were not under the protection of Governor Geary why does ho punish the honest fficer who has discovered tho embezzlement ? This is the question which the people of Pennsyl vania are now asking and answering, too, iu a way wlaich is anylLiug but consoling to the Governor of the Commonwealth. 7iar riaburg Patriot, 1st. Killed bv a Bkf.tlb. On Tuesday of last week, a post mortem examination was held on the body of a two-year old child of Louis Scbappert, a butcher living io Ashley, Luaeroe county, which died a day or two before in intense agony. It was taken sud denly and violently ill, and nothing could be administered that seemed to afford re lief. Its body swelled to nearly twice its natural size, and it died vomiting blood. Ou the opening of the stomach of the child, the cause of the singular illness and death of the child was discovered. Io the coating of the stomach, with its huge horns firmly im beded, was an enormous' stag-beetle. The only explanation that could be given as to the manner of the insect getting into the stomach was that given by the cbiid'b moth er, who stated that the night the child was taken sick, and a few moments before the first symptoms, it had asked for a drink. The mother gave the child a drink from a cup containing water sitting on a chair beside the bed. There is nn doubt that one of these horned-beetles had fallen into the cup while flying about the room, and the child drank it with the water. As instance of heartless and shameful bru tality which no even panic fear can in the slightest degree excuse, recently occurred Cadiz. Ohio, if a letter published in the Pitts burg Chronicle be true. A young mm once a resident of West Troy, in this State, and named Edward Hayward, was seized with small-pox at the Cadiz House, and lay in an upper room. The people of the town grew wild with fiar, entered his chamber, sewed him up iu a blanket, and took him out at a back window and down a ladder. It was raining at the time, yet tbey placed him in a wagon and drew him to an old tenantless house, without roof or windows, and there left him in care of a negro who recoived $10 a day for his services. Of course the poor fellow died. Then, instead of giving him decent burial, they dug a hole io an open field and placed him within it; and even this made the neighbors so wild that while some men were burying him, others stood on the hills around and shot at them. The colored nurse was forced to leave town or they would have shot him too. World. A hard workinff but nnor Ofirman far. mer in Livingston county, Missouri, whose larm was anverti&ea Mr sale for debt in spite of all his industry and economv. nr.il! nlni and toiled, and a few days ago dog up a box EuloT on Surgeon Stanton. ' - ' -- -!. , . . - it t n Hie ceienrateei wu, iioo. i w ctob Kkott, of Kentucky, has been making a speech descriptive of a Radical cmdu'a'e in that State, .which was surely ictend ed Jor our Dr. Stanton the hero who never saw service who is now the Radical candi date lor Auditor General of Pennsylvania. We therefore correct some extracts from the speech to suit the case of Dr. Stanton, as will be found below. Our reason for being so particular in giving the publie some infor mation in regard to the history of the Radi cal candidate, is that his supporters refute to do it. The public want light, and light the' shall have ; ' What deeds of prowess Dr. Stanton might have won upon the gory field, what hecatombs of slaughtered rebels miht have got e down beneath the biting edge of his trenchant blade, hd he ever succeeded in meeting his country's foes "upon the perilous ridge of battle." the pen of history will never tell, for ere he had an opportunity to quench his blazing brain in the blood of traitors, he was called from the path of martial glory to the more arduous duties of a contract Surgeon. Now we much needed his services in the hospital. I am willing to admit thit there was not another doctor in all the length and breadth of the Commonwealth, from Toiut Breeze to Erie ho was capable of discharging the distinguished functions of con tract Surgeon, yet 1 eahhot but deplore the in exoiable necessity which compelled him to quit the tenteu field and bid iarcwell forever to nil the pomp and circumstmices of glorious war." In fact 1 consioer the absence of Dr. Stanton from the army as the direst, calamity that could have befallen our beloved country uu ler the circumstances, for J am satisfied th it had the Confederate leudars been convinced that there we a no other means of escaping a direct con flict with Dr. Stantou upon the open field, they would have laid down their arms at once. But when Lee, Johnson, and Beauregard ascer tained that he was not with the Federal forces, thev plucked up lienh courage nnd determined to prosecute the war to the bitter end. It can, however, be said of Dr. Stanton, as it cxn of but few military heroes of equal prowess and renown, that when his tear dimmed e e rested upon the war-worn forms of our Foluif rs, he had the proud satisfaction of know ing that he never led them into danger in his life. But while 1 could dwell forever with in creasing raptures upon this delightful theme, I Could not withhold a fitting tribute to his equal ly brilliant and ex'raordinary career as a poli tician. Endowed by nature with a genius ca pable of embracing in a single grasp every theory of governmental science, his public life has been a jerlect political kaleidescope. ex hibiting every conceivable variety of combina tion, every principle and teret of every party that has had an existence on the continent ex cept the Democratic party, from the hour of his birth to the present moment. Far baik in the days of his college youth he was a more bfilMatit exemplification of the old line Whig party than either the god like Web9tcr or the immortal Clay. In 1856 the instrument re volved, and beheld all the resplendant glories of Know-Nothingism in all the gorgeous sheen of a thousand glitterine spang'es. In 1860 it revolved again ; and lo I the simple and com prehensive creed of the Abolition cHsunicnists k ucd in him a noisy friend. In lb'66 the ma chine turned again, and the dim outline of the Radical party fell feebly upon his vision. In 1 r-GS occurred another revolution of the pro tean table, and tl ere were all the multiplied horrors of Radicalism in all the intricate mar.es of chaotic coufu-ion. What shall appear when it shall make another revolution is beyoud the power of my feeble imagination to conceive. l ethaps the instrument will explode like a tre mendous meteoric corruscation, when millions of many colored sparks will linger a moment on the midnight sky, and then leave the uni verse in total and eternal darkness. That Dr. Stanton ever meant to kill even a rebel, uobody asserts, and it would be dif ficult to prove that he ever cured any body. His main business was that of a contractor and loplolly. The title tf Colonel which the Republican papers bestow on him, was derived merely from the fact that he drew the pay of a 0-lonel as compensation for his services as a medical contractor, tiuakers need not fear to vote for him on account cf his military title for he never performed mi' itary services! While McCindless was bat. tering away in all the severe engagements of the Pennsylvania Reserves, Stanton more wisely kept at a safe distance in an Ohio hospital. Though there were no dangerous rebels there, good living was plenty, and shouting loalty there was a much lovelier business than fighting rebels at Gettysburg. But the rest of the history of Dr. Stanton must be reserved for a future occasion. Bloom sburg Columbian. Sikoclak PirEiJoMEiJoN. A singular phe nomenon was witnessed on Thursday week at Nonistown, by a gentleman who was driving on De Kalb street, near the borough line. He noticed a strange appearanco In the air, and upon examination found it was due to an immense flight of some peculiar species which had every appearance of a snow storm, the rapidity of movement being about the same as that of snow flakes in or dinary storms. The height at which the in sects seemed to fly varied up to forty feet, or as far as tbey ceuld be distinctly distinguished. Our informant succeeded in catching a few of the flies and found them to be entirely dif ferent from the fly cf this sectiou, the bodies being much after the pattern of the yellow jacket, with a light and long sheeny wing and very small head.

Tua Courier-Journal tells of an intermit tent spring of fire at the foot of the Cumber land Mountains and on the banks of a little stream called Dix River. The water of this river is constantly in ebullition, and regular ly every day, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afterneon, it overflows; a large quantity of carburetted hydrogen gas escapes, which if it be lighted, burns up in a jet ten or fifteen feet in height. Many years ago the spring was discovered by an old man who was bor ing in the vicloity cf his salt licks, when his drill fell through, his drilling-shaft was blown into the air, oil and gas escaped, be came ignited, and caused quite a conflagra tion. The neighbors ran away, as the old gentleman had sworn he would sink a shaft to the infernal regions, and it was feared he had done so.

A little boy in Yoikviile, Canada, came to bis deatii a few days ago under most sin gular circumstances He was one of a par ty of children who were playing together, aud kissed ose of the little girls. This so enraged the other little girl that, in a fit of what may be called jealously, she struck him with a ftick, inflicting an injury from which he died in a few hours; A man named Perry was brutally mur dered at Vandalia. 111., in 1840. Alfefforts to trace out the criminal proved futile, and the anair was almost forgotten ; but a few days ago the postmaster at Vandalia received a letter from a man named Vacs, 'dated at Cairo, III., confessing the murder. The pangs of conscience, he says, are Lis motive for his self-accusation. One of the men engaged in building a railroad bridge in Wisconsin, the other day, was compelled by the breaking cf a guy to leap from the trestle-work. He struck the sand at a point, by measurement, tweuty feet horizontally and forty five feet perpen dicularly from his point of departure, and was so little hurt that he was soon able to walk about without assistance. The Lynchburg S'etcs says there is a disfranchised rebel in Southwestern Georgia who employs three hundred and Eixty ne groes, and will raise a cotton crop this year woith $180,000. lie has no vote himself, but controls just three hundred and sixty more Democratic ballots than he did before the war. Consequently,- there are peace, plenty, and prosperity all about his neigh borhood. Dr. Hunter, of Cleveland, is determined to secure the $100,000 offered by the state to the inventor of a canal boat which 6ball do away with the necessity of using horses on canals. He has made a boat which is propelled by a plate of vulcanized rubber, which works on the principle of a fish's tail. It has been tested successfully at Buffalo, and will soon start with a cargo cf coal for Rochester. A telegram from Halifax on Friday week repom that immense quantites of mackerel have struck in along the coast in that neigh borhood, and that there are neither barrels nor salt enough to be had to cure all that are caught. The market price at Halifax is now ten cents per dozen, and per barrel it has gone down to $G. This will cauje a heavy loss to the merchants who have not sold the fish purchased at the old high prices. A young mac in New Hampshire agreed with an acquaintance that if he would eat 6ix quarts of boiled custard he would swim two miles in a pond. The challenged man disposed of the cusfard. and the next morn ing the otber swam to the prescribed point; and then turned around and swam back into the lake some twenty rods, giving as a reason that his friend, on finishing the puddin, licked the spoon, and be wanted to do the fquare thing. The Canard steamer Java, on Its last voyage to New York, narrowly escaped de 6truction at sea, and was saved only at the expense of another vessel. The Norwegian bark Annette was sailing in snch a direction that it was impossible to avoid a collision, and the captain of the Java had to take the choice of evi's and run the bark down. She was cut in two amidships and sank immedi ately, carrying down eleven of the crew.--Onlyone man was saved, and he was brought to New York by the Java. Another terrific hurricane Las swept over the islands of St. Thomas and St. Kitts and left them In ruins. In St. Thomas the devastation is awful. Not a house has been left standtng undamaged, and about six thousand people are homeless and destitute. Nearly one hundred people have been killed! The hurricane was accompanied by shocks of an earthquake and followed by a severe gale. Fortunately most of the sbippiogun the harbor rode it out successfully. The American steamer Florida lost her masts. Two Michigan brothers, farmers, well-to-do and generally harmonious, had a little falling out the other day, and one of them threatened to do some injury to the other. To guard against any fatal result, the threat ened, one thought best to apply to a district official for protection. Accordingly, the two rode into town together, put up their team, drank each other's health, and then together vifited a justice of the peace. Thit official listened to the complaint, issued a warrant for threats, the accused pleaded guilty, and the accuser became bis surety in the utn 0f $200 for Lis good behavior for one year.
