Did the editor of the Johnstown Tribune, when he published his paper on last Friday, know that Governor Hoffman of New York had on the precious Monday signed the ue cessary warract or process for the arrest of Gsorge O. Evans, in obedience to the requi sition of Governor Geary for that purpose ? If the editor did not know it, some of his friends ought to request him to read the pa pers. The fact being as we have stated it, nud the warrant for the arrest of Evans hav ing been delivered by Gov. Huffman to offi cer Ilsopes of Harrisburg on Monday, the 4th instant, what becomes of the Tribune's charge on Friday, the 8ih, against Governor Huffman of "complicity in fraud," and also of its false and unfounded allegation, that Governor Hoffman "refuses to give up Evans for trial and punishment ?" George O. Fvans, the cmbezz'er of over a quarter of a million of dollars, i master of the situation and still at large. The Harris burg constable, or whatever official title he bore, who went to New York armed with Geary' reqirmion, made no seriou iff rt to arrest him. Indeed it is fair to presume, from all the surroudings of this dirty and disgraceful affair from its first exposure, that the State officials at Harrisburg instructed the officer not to give himself anyunnecessa ry trouble in his attempt to find out Kvans' hiding place. He could and ought to have been arrested in Hlrrrisburg weeks ago, if Geary, Brewster, Ilartranft and Mackey had done their duty or desired his arrest. Cut instead of this, they coolly permitted him to escape, and then Geary demanded and pro cured the dismissal from tffice of McClure, the Assistant Attorney General, who had unearthed and made public the defalcation. If there was not some powerful reason why Evans shou'd not be arrested, and if the warrant for that purpose had been delivered to Allon J. Finkerton, the New York detec tive, the criminal would have been promptly recured, if he is still in the country. The end cf this shameless robbery is not yet. and the people will demand to know uly the State Treasury has been swindled out of a quarter of a million of dollars with im punity anil with the apparent connivance r f men hieh in authority. One thing Is cer tain it has damned the present State ad ministration and all connected with it for all time to come, and will stick to it tike the fa bled shirt of Nessus. At the election hedd in California on the 5th instant, the Radicals elected Booth, their candidate for Governor, by about 6,000 ma jority. Wo are not at all surprised at this result, for we? can truthfully say that we expected it. There are a great rtany pig headed Democrats in every State, but in Cal ifornia their came is legion. Upon all such the severe lessons of experience are thrown away. They are men who prefer defeat, provided their favorite candidate is nomina ted, rather than a victory with a new man. Governor Ilaight, an able man, was serving out the remnant of hia first term of four years. Against his renomination there ex isted a powerful and well organized opposi tion in the ranks of hit own party. Whether it ought to have been so is quite unimpor tant note. It was a fact not to be ignored by the nominating convention. During the election of delegates to the State convention, there was more excitement and a greater de gree of personal bitterness manifested by the friends of the rival candidates than was ever displayed in a Presidential contest. It was a fatal omen, the ominous hand-writing rn the wall. It was disregarded. Ilaight was renominated those who opposed him in the convention became lukewarm and in different, if not positively hostile armed centrals in the campaign the canvass was dull and spiritless, and the natural result is a Democratic defeat, instead of a victory with a new and unobjectionable candidate. The lesson which it teaches is full of instruc tion and should be remembered. It shows that California will be debateable ground in th Presidential contest in 187 that and nothing more. Tote for llae Convention. Our readers are aware that in pursuance of an Act passed by the Legislature at its last session, the people of the State will have an opportunity at the approaching election of voting for or against the calling'of a con vention to amend the Constitution. In one of the resolutions adopted by the Democrat ic State Convention, which assembled at Harrisburg last Maythe project of a Consti tutional Convention was fully endorsed and recommended to the favorable consideration of the party throughout the State. It is a question of great ard paramount Impor tance to the people, irrespective of party, and overrides all issues of a purely political character. In the action of the Convention every taxpayer In the commonwealth has a dine! interest which far transcends every thing cf a mere party nature. The reasons why a convention should be called are so Mimerous and at the snme time so obvious, that a de-tailed statement of them at our h inds is not at all necessary. They are ap parent to every thoughtful and intelligent man, Rnd if heretofore there existed any doubt about the propriety of such a conven tion, the disgraceful history of Pennsylvania legislation for the last five years, admit ted on all hands, has effectually removed that doubt and clearly dcnion;fr3ted the absolute necessity of a reform convention in order to protect the interests of the people and speedily arrest the shameless and trium phant advance of legislative plunder and corruption. The blighting curse with which our State is and for years has been rftlicted, is unlimited special legislation. More than three-fourths of the time of each session of the Legislature is devoted to it, and it will go on constantly increasing, unless it receives an effective check through the restraining ferce and power of a constitutional prohibi tion. That is the only sure remedy to ar rest this growing evil the only balm that will heal this spreading and festering legis lative sore. No more conclusive argument in faTor of a Constitutional Convention could be pre sented than an inspection of the huge and ponderous Volume just published, containing the laws passed at the last session. It con tains 1,670 pages and one thousand four hundred and fifteen acts of a public and pri vate nature, besides twenty-two Joint Reso lutions. It is literally piling Pelion upon O.-sa. We are firmly convinced that our legisla ture fchould not meet oftener than once in (tco years, unless convened by the Governor for some special reason, and that the Consti tution ought to be amended so as to bring about that desirable result. It is a wise maxim and especially applicable to this country, that the "world is governed too much." We trust, therefore, that the Dem ocrats e-f the county will cast a solid, united vote in favor of calling a convention. If the project is sanctioned by the people at the ballot-box, as it undoubtedly will be, and if the Legislature will throw aside its narrow partisan prejudices and provide for the elec tion of delegates to the convention so as to produce as nearly as possible an equally di vided political sentiment among its mem bers, and thus divest it of the odjectionable character of "a purely political "assemblage, the most beneficial akd happy results may b6 confidently expected from its deliberations. John Scott and martial Law. John Scott, a Senator from this State and chairman of the Congressional Ku-KIux committee, recently made a hurried visit to Washington for the purpose of urging the President to issue a proclamation declaring martial law in the counties of York and Spartanburg, in South Carolina. This is a very scurvy business for Senator Scott, or any other man not a Senator, to be engaged in. It was represented that Grant was at first willing to comply with this modest re quest of the Pennsylvania Senator, and to let loose the dogs of war, but the timely ceunsel of some men, wiser and more dis creet than either Grant or Scott, prevailed, and the contemplated proclamation has thus far not been issued. During the past summer, Mr. Scott, with two other members of his committee. Steven son, radical, and Van Trump, democrat, spent several weeks in the two counties named, and examined a large number of witnesses, black and white, in reference to the existence of Ku-Klux organizations and their alleged out rages. It was not in conse sequence of the evidence then elicited that Mr. Scott hastened to Washington and de manded that martial law should be proclaim ed in the York and Spartanburg districts, but because he had received certain letters con taining statements and affidavits to the effect that a reign of terror had broken out in those localities since the sub-committee had left there, and that the most terrible and inhu man outrages were being perpetrated. That John Scott has been made a willing dupe by a few lying scoundrels and villains in Spartanburg county, is conclusively proven by the following letter addressed to him, 6igncfl by twenty of the most prominent cit izens of that county, all radicals, includiog the United States Commissioner, the United States Assessor, Probate Judge, Sheriff, Clerk of the Coort, and the Representatives of the county in both branches of the Legis lature : Fpabtansbuso, S. C.Sept. 4. To the ITnn. John Scott, Chairman of the Ku Klux Committee. We the undersigned citizens of the eaij State and county, having seen through the newspapers that yon had received statements and affidavits that out races upon various citi zens had been committed in this county, since the Committee of w hich you are Chairman left the said county, and that you had thereupon recommended the proclamation of mnr'ixl lw in this comity, feel constrained toinake this following statement: "We have made diligent inquiry, and have been unable to hear of it single outrnge having been committed in thi9 county since jour com mittee left it. On the contrary, the county is in a state of profound peace and quiet," The Spartan, a county newspaper, in pnb lishing the above, says: "This statement ought to be sufficient to piofe to the naiad of Senator i Scott, that he has been imposed upon by the communications and affidavits upou which be foncded his statement made to the President, and his recommendation that martial law be declared in the county." This letter very fully disposes of the false and fraudulent statements contained in the letters of Senator Scott's correspondents, and ought to servo as a lesson to that ambitions but impulsive statesman. It is out of such miserable stuff that stories about Klu Klux outrages are manufactured by southern rad icals to fire the northern heart. There wil! be a plentiful supply of them until after the October elections have taken place, and then they will cease to be beard of. We are opposed to all species of violence, whether in South Carolina or elsewhere, but when we reflect upou the present deplorable condition of that State, in which ignorance, stupidity and venality frame the laws where sixy negroes, fifty-one of whom can neither read nor write, occupy scats in the Legislature whose State debt has been in creased in four years from six millions to eighteen millions of elollars where taxation practically amounts to confiscation we ate astonished at the moderation of the victims of such wholesale robbery and oppression. It is enough to stir a fever in the blood of age or to cause a rebellion in a State as loy al even as Massachusetts. Hum. Tliaddeu Ilaults. As it behooves every Democrat at least in the district to know what manner of man our candidate for President Judge is. we give place to the following brief biographi cal sketch of him furnished by the Ilollidays burg Standard. Having known Mr. Banks from our earliest boyhood we can truthfully say that he is a man among men an hon orable, upright and true-hearted gentlemen, and one who is eminently fitted for the posi tion for which he has been named and for whose election every Democrat eught to con sider it not only a duty but a pleasure to la bor with his utmost ability. He is worthy of the office and would perform all the du ties pertaining thereto with honesty and ability. Let him therefore be elected. Mr. Banks' ancestors, who were of the Scotch Irish stock, settled in this country at an early day. His father was Hon. Ephraim Banks, who was the son of Geo. James Banks, cf York county. Ephrairc Banks, recently deceased, was for many years one of the most popular and distinguished citizens of the State, having at different times tilled high positiors of responsibility and trust. The subject of this sketch was born in Mif fiintown, Juniata county, in this State, in November, 1815 His father being after wards appointed by Governor Findley I'ro thonotary, removed to Lewistown, where the son, under the supervision of Dr. James S. Yeods, pursued his classical studies for a' number of years, which were finally com pleted at Benjamin Walwoith'sacademy at Alcxaudria, L. C. In 1837 he commenced the study of law in his father's office, and in the fall of 1839, at Lewistown. he was admitted to the bar under Judge lurnside. The following win ter ho passed at Huntingdon, with the late Gen. A. P. Wilson, who was a warm friend of the family, and in the spring of 1840 he came to Hollidaysburg. where he has since resided. At that time Mr. Calvin was the only practising lawyer here. James Craw ford had been Mr. Calviu's only antagonist, but being in failing health and dying soon after, his administrator sold his library to Mr. Banks, who shortly succeeded to the principal portioa of Crawford's practice. Col. McMurtrie came soon afterwards, and the business was divided among the three. Since his residence here he has always been in full practise, and since the erection of this county, in 1846, he has been retained on one 6ide or the other of almost every im portant cause ; and whether in the courts of the county, or in the Supreme Court of the State, he has been remarkably successful. Of the numerous and important criminal cases tried in this county, he has been con cerned in nearly all, and he has generally been of counsel for the prisoners, except in certain cases where he was employed by the county to assist the prosecution. Mr. Banks, although often spoken of for office, and presented by his county, never was a candidate before the people until 18GI, when he was elected to the State Legislature. It is a remarkable fact in his hLtory that, in 1850. when ho had only been at the bar about ten years, and was uuder thirty-five years ef age, the Democrats of this county nominated and instructed conferees for him for President Judge, and had he not declined to allow his name to go before the conference, he might have been nominated and elected, as many Whigs declared their preference for him over the gentleman who received the nomination. Again, in 1853. this county instrncted her conferees for. Mr. Banks for State Senator. Mr. Banks declined and recommended his friend. Col. John Cresswell, Jr., who was nominated and elected. In 1858, when S S. Blair was elected to Congress, the conferees from Huntingdon aud Blair counties in the congressional conference voted six votes for Mr. Banks (the present Senator, John Scott, among them.) for one hundred and ten ballots. The conferees of Cambria voted three votes for Cyrus L. Persh ing, and those of Somerset county voted a similar number for Judge Kimmell. Mr. Banks, finding the minority declined to come to him, magnanimously withdrew his came and desired bis friends to vote for Mr. Persh ing, who was at once nominated. In 1861 the war broke out. and Mr. Banks at once took side with the cause of the union; and though we know that un scrupulous partisans have beeu in the habit of indiscriminately charging upon Democrats treasonable sympathies and practices, no one can successfully impeach his patriotism or his unalterable devotion to bis count ry. His sympathies were constantly' with the Union soldiers in the field, and, in more times and ways than one, with their suffering families at home. At the commencement of the war, Mr. Backs was a member of the Democratic county committee, and on the 20th of Au gust, 18G1, offered, among others, the follow ing resolution to said committee : "Resolved. That the presont horrible civil war was immediately forced upon hs by the South, and now must be fought through. and to that end, we hereby pledge our party in Blair county, so far as we have power, to support tbe government in all constitutional measures to accomplish its successful and speedy issue." This resolution he supported by a strong and vigorens speech, and it was unanimous ly adopted. It appeared in some of the connty papers of that time, and immediate ly meetings were held all over the county to raise volunteers, and the friends of the war and the government invited Mr. Banks, along with leaJing Republicans, to address them. Two of these meetings were remarkable for their enthusiasm and numbers one at Wil liamsburg, addressed by Mr. Banks and Mr. Blair, and the other at Frankstown, by Mr. Banks and Col. McMurtrie. In tbe same fall, many Republicans, being dissatisfied by the course pursued by their .representative in the Legislature the year before, agreed with the Democrats to vote for Mr. Banks if he could be induced to be a candidate. His consent was obtaiuexl, and he beat his opponent, whose majority the preceding fall had been over 800. The Legislature was controlled by Repub licans, but Mr. Banks was appointed chair man of the committee On corporations, and on the committee general of the judiciary, of which Mr. John Scott was chairman. There was but little exhibition of party spirit dur ing the winter, but all the members Dem ocrats as well as Republicans maintained the general government. In March, 1862, news came to Harrisburg of the terrible slaughter of the 84th Regiment, at the baU tie of Winchester, and the death of Col. Murray. Capt. Gallagher, Lieut. Ream, and others. Mr. Banks at occe aunounced to the House the los3 of these brave soldiers, and bad appointed a joint committee of the House and Senate to accompany their re mains to their late homes. It may not be amiss to remark here that the legislature ap propriated several hundred dollars to pay the expenses of these committees, but at the in stance of Mr. Banks, it was paid over to a committee of our citizens for the use of the wives and children of our wounded and fall en soldiers. Since the Winter thus passrd in the legia latnre. Mr. Bauks has been at home, practis ing his profession, and engaged in agricul tural pursuits, and at present there is no one in our midst more popular as a man and a citizen. He is emphatically a self-made man. All that he has, he achieved by his own ex ertions. He was early in life thrown upon his own resources, but an undeviaticg career of integrity and economy, added to habits of industry and sobriety, has enabled him, thouah far from being rich, to rear and edu cate bis children, and at tho same time to dispense a liberal hospitality to one and all who might come, and for which he is well and justly known. He has for years been a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and in all tbe walks of life he has conducted himself to the approbation of his fellow citizens. He is possessed of a vigor ous health, and thus, with a rich experience, a ripe intellect, fixed principles, and a ma ture age, he is admirably qualified for the high position in which his friends seek to place bim, and he is in every way worthy of the vote of any and all of his fellow citi zens. We have thus briefly endeavored to lay before the people cf this District a sketch of our townsman who has been nominated as a candidate for President Judge. And in this connection we would only eay that this office is and should be far removed of partisan politics, as we confidently assert that should this gentleman be called to bo the incumbent of the office, he will in the discbarge of its duties, exclude the passions and prejudices of politics which, while they seem necessari ly to spring from the existence of parties, can add nothing to tbe wise and healthy ad ministration of justice. And so, although presented as a candidate for judge through the machinery of party .'management, he will, nevertheless, be treated as a candidate above and beyond parry lines, and will, we believe, receive the vetes of all classes of the people, regardless of their political opin ions. Eighteen Montus Without Food "A very peculiar case," says the London Times, "which has ba filed several doctors, and which in a strange manner shows how life can be prolonged without anything in the shape of ordinary nutrition, has just come to light at a place near Preston. In the fold of Ennell lane, which closely adjoins the vil lage of Walton-le-Dale, and which is about a mile and a half from Preston, there is a cottage wherein for three years a yonng woman baa been lying bed-ridden, and for between one and two years has had nothing to eat. Her name is Ann Riding. She is thirty-three years of age, and resides with her aunt. Prior to being taken ill she was a strong, healthy woman, never losing a day's work, and was employed as an opera tive at the mill of Messrs. Horroc-ks, Miller & &)., Preston. Shortly after sickness set in she left work, was compelled to take to her bed, was medically attended, and for three years has been gradually sinking. Several doctors have at times attended ber, but none of thetn have been able to give her any substantial relief, and six months ago remedial operations were abandoned, and the case left to itself, the idea of the aunt being that the 'Almighty had to do with it,' and that it was useless continuing to incur ex penses for medicines without any hope of a cure. For sixteen months the young woman has had no food at all, the only thing she conld bear biog a drop of water to moisteu her lips. She is frequently asked if she will not have food, but always refuses it she has no desire for it, and how she has for such a long period existed without anything pos sessing the least affinity to meat is a mystery. She is conscious, but very weak, gets little sleep, and cannot bear a lighted candle in the room at night time. It is supposed that she is suffering from abdominal atrophy, but the exact nature of the case is not posi tively understood, and it puzzles every one who is made acquainted with it, and espe cially when it is recollected that for a year and four months 6he has not had as much meat and drink as would have been requi site to sustain au infant a single day. Tho relatives in charge of the voting woman are bumble, honest people, and mike no 'show' of the case, which is hardly known in the district." Why Should a Man be a Democrat ? Because Democrats are in favor of an hon est, intelligent administration of the govern ment. Because the Democratic party is the party of the people. Becanse tLe nation owes all it has in great ness to the early and judicious application of Democratic ideas and theories to tbe admin istration of its affairs. Because the Democratic party is in favor of a Government of the people. Because it is In favor of a plain system of government, "void or pomp, protecting all, and granting favors to none, dispensing its blessings alike upon the high and the low, the rich and the poor." Because the Democratic party is in. favor of a Government not of force but of princi ple. Becanse it is not a sensational party, but one whose principles are alike sacred to the people of the North. South, East and We6t. Because it is a party opposed to "any kind of tyrrany ever tie minds of men." Because the Democratic party is in favor of maintaining the General Government in the exercise of its Constitutional powers, and of perpetuating to the States all tho liberty commensurate with the maintenance of a sound civil government.

Mrs. Margaret Fiuley, living Dear Wabash, Indiana, murdered her three chil dren on Wednesday forenoon. She took ber babe by the feet and beat its brains out on a stone. She cut the throats of her two eldest children, aged bine and eight years respectively The woman was arrested and lodged in jail Thursday. She is a widow, her husband having died last wiuter. She seems perfectly sane, and says she killed the chil dren to get rid of them.

A dreadful tragedy occurred in Wilkin son county, Georgia, about midnight on Wednesday last. A party of unknown men gagged and killed Matthew Deason, sheriff of Wilkinson county, and also a negro woman in his employ, and threw their bodies into a mil! pond near by. The bodies were recovered on Friday morning. The sheriff had a gun shot wound in his bead and the remains of the woman gave evidence of having been mutilated with a knife.

A terrible accident occurred between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday, at tbe crossing of the St. Louis and Yandalia Railroad and the Collinsville plank road, two miles from East St. Louis. A party of pic-nickers, composed of sixteen grown people and sev eral children, left the city in a large furni ture wagon to spend the day in Illinois. When at the crossing the' were struck by an excursion train going to Highland. Three in the wagon were killed outright, two were mortally, and four or five severely, wouuded. Mrs. Margaret Finley, the triple mur deress at Wabash. Ind., attempted to com mit 6uicido on Monday. She broke the lamp chimney in her cell, and with a por tion of it cut a frightful gash in her throatv almost severing the windpipe. The sheriff had a severe struggle in trying to take the glass from her, and was compelled to call assistance and bind her to the bed before the physician could dress the wound. She said that she had sent three children to hell and was going there herself. She was not ex pected to live till morning. The La wrence (Ks. ) Journal contains the particulars of the killing by Dr. Marth of himself, wife, and child. About 5 o'c!eck in the morning, hearing unusual sounds in the doctor's room,the servant went in and found him lying on the floor, bleeding pro fusely from a wound in the neck. On tbe bed lay Mrs. Marsh bleeding, and near her was her little daughter completely covered with blood. Before medical aid conld be obtained they were both dead. The deed was done with a razor. Dr. Marsh has been partially insane (or some time on account of the death of his father. A hail-storm passed through Rocking ham county, Va., a few days ago.

The lad opened a bureau drawer, and snatching a pistol, intrepidly leveled it at the bandits, ordering them to leave. They dashed towards him, and he resolutely fired at the nearest man, missin him; the villain returned the shot, killiu" tbe lad instantly. The murderera Lave bo far scaped.
