mnbria JFrtfmam CTS&XSBVRtS, PA. Saturday Morning, s : Jan. 20, 1872. A joist rksotxt!ON has passed bolh branches of tbo Legislature fixing Thurs day, March 28th, ns tha tirn8 for th final adjournment of that body. Tug renulnr annual meeting of the Pa. Elituril Affociation will convene in the State Capit&I, Ilarrisburg, at 1 1 o'clock, a. m., ou Thursday next. ' Hon. Thomas Niciiolsost died t bis home in Frankfort Springs, Heaver coun ty, on Inst Sunday. -lie had ben n mcra br of the Legislature at different times, and since 1S45 held the position of cash ier of tho State Treasary at intervals aud under different republican administrations. He was lost appointed in May, 1871, but resigned bis office last fall owin;; te Lis declining health. As ft member of the House he vras known as the "watch dog" of the Treasury, and resisted everything liLo cxtravngance in public expenditure with nil the energy of his stubborn and impulsive- nature, 1 1 is integrity both in public and private lifo was above all sus picion. Oxe of the most gratifying political re mits of tho new year, is tho defeat of Jamos Harlan for reelcelion to the Uni ted States Sonate by the radical Legisla ture of Iowa. Harlan is the type of n large number of men in Congress who, on n salary of $5,000 per jear, hare sud denly leaped from poverty into affluence. "Brother Harlan," as he is familiarly styled, was himself vory poor when ho first camo to Washington a few years ego, but is dow a very wealthy man. Charges of ft most damaging naturo have repeated ly been made ngainst his efficial integrity by his own party friends, and L"i3 failure successfully to contradict thera has fier.t hiiri politically, to use the language of the late lamented James Fisk, "where the woodbine twiueth." He wns the willing apologist in the b'enate for all the corrupt jobs of the administration, and even un dertook in a prepared speech to defend tho Sa:i Domingo Pwindla wheu honest Sena torn shrank from its foul embrace. His eacces3or, Ym. Ii. Allison, is ofcouraaa republican a former member of CoRgress but whoso character for integrity is as much higher than that of HarUn, as L7 na an Trumbull's is above that of Jim Nye. LvniEu Gheen, the democratic mem ber of Assembly from Warren county, who was so unceremoniously and unjustly excladed from his peat by the unanimous vete of the radical msprity, had Lis peti tion presented to the House last week con testing tha right of William H. Shortt, the admitted member, to his scat. The petition is signed by thirty-four qualified electors of Warren county, jive of whom make oath, as required by law, that the facts set forth in the petition are truo to the best of their knowledge and belief. It appears from the petition, that there was no second meeting of the Keturn Judges, as wo supposed there had bees, but that bstweon the meeting of the Judges on the Friday after the election and tho assem bling of the Legislature, Shortt, tho da f'eate 1 candidate, preparod a certificate in bis own favor, end by making a personal visit to the residenca of each one of the Keturn Judges, succoeded in obtaining to it the signatures of thirteen out of the twen ty -jivs members of the board who had al ready signed the certificate in faver of Greee. It was on such a trumped up an l werthle3 paper ua this that the legal certificate held by Green was treated with supreme contempt by the radical Degber rys of the House, and Warren county was Dwindled out of hor honestly elected repre sentative. The whole contest turns upon tha question of how many votes were polled in on, township, called Deerfield, a fact which is very casilv ascertained If Mr. Green's case is fairly presented to the committee, as we have no doubt it will be, but ona result can follow and that will be a unanimous reversal of the vote by which he was wrongfully denied his ecat. Wb have of'.ere been told by those whose opportunities fjr knowing tha truth whereof they alfitm ore not to be ques tior.ed, that tho weysof William M Ken dall, a democratic member of the State Senate from Schuylkill county, are deei dedly dark. If there has heretofore exist' ed any reasonable doubt on the subject, he succeeded in dispelling it last week by his own deliberate act. When Charles It. Iiuckalew voted for and elected Mr. ltiitan (radical) Speaker of the Senate, in order to effect an organization of that body and thus hasten tbo appointment of the different standing committees, he ttn- ! in nnin Cfauirtn that Kin o.- .,. ... "( -. v.. ..a.. I .4 Ull- dtr instructions from his democratic col- league, but at tha urns time gave notico that they would make do further conces- pions in regard to the other officers of the , Seriate. A few days afterwards, when : several ineffectual ballots had taken place ! between the candidates for Chief Clerk ; -Hammoisly, radical, and Ziegler, dem ocrat Kandall to the utter astoniehmsnt of the other democratic Senators, roso in hi place and announced that considera tions of public interest impellsd him to veto for Hammers., which he did and electtJ him. He was prudent enough, .however, to preface his defection with the declaration, that his vote for Ifammersly teas cast without any consultation with r-vfuitjiority from his colleagues, where- pinion,-nrwabmr2 Patriot expresses the .bad consented to thecreulliiJ Senators merely, which it sajs they nevef-ttoow do, they would have delegated some oilier 'Senator than William M. Kandal to carry ut their purpose. The whole thing was evidently a set up job between the veteran ooster from Philadelphia and tha sprioht young game cock from Schuylkill, and .ftrds another illustration of the truth of he adage, that "birds of a feather will .jcls together." Geary and Evans The most remarkable feature in the message of Governor Geary is his elabor ate defense of tho swindle of the State Treasury o suucsesfully perpel rated by tin notorious George" O. Evans. Our renders are sufficiently familiar with the facts connected with the ca?o ar;d we will not here repeat them. The Attorney GeLcral of tho State, F. C. Brewster, determined not to ooidone by Geary in his vindication of outraged innocence, has also prostituted his office in a labored at tempt in his annual report to show that Evans fahbfolly discharged his duty as the agent of tho State, and that he is nt a debtor to the commonwealth. The peo ple of the State regard the transaction, from its incoption to its close, in a very different ligkt, and look upon George O Evans, even upon his own showing of his owncuso, as a cool, calculating, impudent embezzler of the public funds. This is their deliberate judgment, and all the sophistry of Geary and all tha special pleading of his Attorney General cannot alter or change it. It is a humiliating spectacle to see the Executive of the State degrading his high office, by appearing in an official ducu meat as the advocate of a man who has wilfully and corruptly betrayed n public trust, and condoning his otIet.se. It pre sents the anomalous case cf the Attorney for the Commonwealth appeal ingas coun ee! for the defendant in a criminal prosa cutiun. Why does John W. Geary man ifest such an interest and such unbecom ing zeal in behalf of George O. Evans, who, in the estimation of nine-tenths of the balance of the community, is a scoun drel 7 Why is Gov. Geary so solicitous to make it appear that Evans has done j nothing wrong, and that ho is more sinned against than sinning? His guilt or inno cence 13 a question to bs determined by a court and jury, and is not to bo decided by the mere ijse dixit of a blundeting and incompetent Executive. It has often been insinuated in certain qaarters that Geary himself participated in the plunder, but, bo that as it may, it is quite certain that his course in reference to the whole disgraceful affair, and espe cially his volunteer defence of Evans in his taessage, has naturally given rise to the most grave suspicion?. Tho question of the guilt or innocence of Evans has been brought to tho notice of the Legila tore and a joint commilteo Iirs been ap- j pointed to investigate his conduct. It is a rich miuc, if it is only dilijently and thoroughly worked by the committee ; and it remains to bo seen whether they cannot remove tho whitewash with which Geary and Urewsier have attempted to conceal and cover up the fraud. That the large portion of the $29 1,000 withheld by Evans from tho Treasury, found its way mto tbe pceketa cf other parlies vrho aided and abetted hi ci in his fraudulent work, does not admit of any doubt, beceusa Evans is not now regarded ns a wealthy man in Philadelphia, where he resides. It is therefore to be hoped that his guilty ac complices will bo unearthed and exposed to the public gaze. In connection with this subject, we publish in another column a scathing article from the Pittsburgh (7ci zcttr, tho leading organ of radicalism in Western Pennsylvania. Ex-Govsnsoii JosErn E. I5ro"Vn, of Georgia, acted a very conspicuous part in the Chicago convention as a friend of General Grant and in no small degree aided in bringing about his nomination. A short time ago an unprinciplod carpet bagger addressed a letter to him, soliciting his aid in procuring a declaration of mar tial law in that State and by the use of tbe bayonet securing ker clectorial vote to Grant in the coming Presidential contest. From Ex-Gev. Hrown'a reply to this pimp of the administration, he is evidently dis gusted with the vindictive legislation of Congress towards the South and regards the radical policy of reconstruction as an ignominious failure. Using a native of the South, lie is a competent judge at what is required to restore peace and har mony among her peoplo, and repudiates Grant's bayonet policy as applied to tho Southern States in tha following manly and emphatic language : The Republican party hoe been constantly w tokened until it is almost ile.-uroye in Geor gia by the repealed acts of Congrers during tho period of reconstruction, prompted no doubt by unwise counsellors rrofeii'mg to speak for the lttte, who either aiisuudersiood-.tiie true con dition of thing here or wilfully rnisiepreiented it. In oilher case the effect was 1 ho mm. Congress has been misled and popular seuti meiit here has been outragod to an extent that has rendered i'. impossible for the supporters of tha administration to stand before it with any prnspect ef success. I think it id time uimi.- legislation should csae, and I protest ngainet further enactments of the character oontemplateu by you and others who aesiat yon in your proposed movement. The wisest thing, in my judgment, that Congress could do for Georgia would be to conciliate her poople and chow them that it i tho intention to denl just ly and liberally by them. If a -oiieral "' wa pasted sweeping from the statute book the l.tsl vestige of political disability that rests upon any of her cit'xens, and she were left a other States are to manage her own internal affair in her own way, It would do mere to rest jre prase, harmony, loyalty, and good gov ernment in the St.ite than anything els that is now in tha power of tbe Federal government to do.

Letter from Ireland ATo. 9 Correspondence of Cambria Freeman.- Temflsmork, Iseland. Jau. 2, 1672. Dear Mao As soon as my fair compan ions ai.d rujseff fixed ourselves, after our smash-Op, we set out ajain on our way to Portroe, - This lime Marion took the ribbons, which gave me a good opportunity for admir ing the scenery and conversing with Maud, with "an occasional Vrord to Georgia. Poets have sung of the beauties of the Rhino and the Alps, artists h'.ve sketched sets of our bold, beautiful American landscapes, tut I candidly sav that the almost enchanting tcentf which preiecla itself all along tbe Lcchtea roatJ, equals, if not surpasses, any thing of the kind in Europe or Aroorica. Tke road curves rofjnd the base of a high hetlierclad hiil, making an incline of above three huudred feet till It reaches the water's edge. Spread out beforo ycu, for nai.es, is the expansive, beautiful, lovely Loch Derg, vrilli it numerous little islands; opposite is the old town of ScarifF with its smiling bay ; away in the distance rises up the "Holy Isl and" of Ionises. tra. with its seven cburches and Round Tower so full of traditional end legendary lore; while farther on looms tip the iron-bound shore of Galway the whole forming a scenic tableau that would have delighted the most eminent landscape paint er. After passing wooded Castle Louh on our left, we soon came to the foot of a huge kiil called Encccomncha, but before our "hoss" could ascend it we were forced to alight from the cnr. When we reached tho top we were nearly out of breath, and meet icg a good-natured farmer who asked us in to Test ourselves, we gladly accepted his ia vitation. I could read wit' and drollery in bis eye. so I got into conversation with him. After chatting about the weather, "the state of the country," etc., I drew him cut about the landlords. Said he, "They are bad by ratine, but sometimes good through fear." I asked him if there were many absentee landlrrds in his neighboi hood. Said he. 'fj.nl hlf wrii ir tt'A t. i full r,f (he,n "'his I considered a littlo scintilla from wit's anvil, and felt sorry I could not stay long enough to have him indu'ga in his rich vein of vit and humor, for 1 learned aftsrwards that he was a "born genius." After taking leave of "Atch," we set out again and in a few minutes after we were on PORTBOK HILI, which commands a rich, varied and diversi fied view. From it one can see parte of five counties, the Devil's-Bit raonntain, Siieve-r.a-mcn and Kncckshegowria. Descending tins big hill, we entered Portree town, aud as Marion was acquainted here the said we should stay eft" to see some friends. Sho in troduced mo to the Misses Jennie and Emma Da Bnrgo, two most accomplished and faci- nating ycung Jadiss. Jennie left nothing undone to accord us a hearty reception. After dinuer the whole of us set out to sea tho slate quarries, about a mile from tha town, lney employ about three hendreu hands. I was anxious to eca all I could of them, so I went t the obliging and intelli gent manager, Mr. D. Maunix, who gave me all the information I needed. I was net satisfied till I would go down to the bottom, where the most of the men were engaged in the varicus processes of blasting, cutting and chiseling. Marion screamed, Emma entreat ed, Maud ponted, not to have mo "go dovf n" unless I went away round to the place where the men went in, but I could not be de terred ; so, at ray request, I was lowered down in a wagon a distance of nearly three hundred feet. When I got out of tho wagon a bread-chested Tip said that I must havo mighty courage to comedowu tbat way. He ceased his woik and came along with me to show me how tbey out tho slates, stones, etc. The slates taken out of this quarry are considered the best in Ireland. After Fee ing all I wanted I found myself, like the goat in the pit, cot able to get la tbe top. Scrambling up a rocky ledge, then creeping round a tortuous path, I, after a knee-smashing ascent, made my way to the top. Lock ing round, I found 1 was far away from the point where I descended ; so after a long search I discovered the fair ones, who were auxiouely watching for me. Wo then re turned to Portroe, where we were all wined and feasted by the hospitable, gocd-natured Mrs. De Burgo. I thought to proceed on myjiurney that eveuing, but neither Mrs. D. or her aaiiable daughters would hear to it, so we had another evening similar to the one described in my last. Jennie, with her bright bice eyes, sweet, tempting rrouth, and her noble, frank, honest countenance, made me forget tho Derry and other heart-killing charmers, and, friend Mac, betwesn you and me, and nobody elst, I have a big notion of invoking Hymen ;' but if she does not con sent to cross the Atlantic with me, you will "know how it is yourself" with "Erionach." Tbe fair and handsome Emma seemed pos sessed of a lofty, noble mind, and yet she was as ir.urcest as a child of the wcild's craft and chicanery. It was a long time before I cOuld get her into a conversation with me, but when I did ahe convinced me by Lcr clear, candid, conclusive arguments that her mind was like a rich, rare reposito ry, replete with all that was pure, ennobling, modest and virtuous. Jennie displayed her vocal and musical ability by playing and singing "High upon the (rallows treo Swuntf the noble-hearted three. By the vengeful tyrant stricken in thoir doom; Hut tliey met him fare to fi cc. With the cournjjo of their race. And they went with souls undaunted to their doom. 'God save Ireland !' paid tho martyrs; 'Gotl snvo Ireland 5 say we all ; Whether on the scaffold hig-h. Or tho battle-field we die. Oh, wbst matter, wheu for Ireland dear we fall?" I would like to give this national anthem of Ireland in full, but spaco forbids. It is a noble tribute t the memory of Allen, Lar kin and O'Brien, the Manchester martyrs, who were murdered by the Englih govern ment, for their love of Ireland, in November, 18G7. After spending a right jlly time of U, we all retired to rest, but sleep I could net woo. As I lay restless on my pillow, I saw the full-faced moon rise over the Gal way hille, reflecting its silvery beams on Loeh Derg's unruffled bosom. It was soon dimmed by dark, ominous cloud, but again did old Luna dart ber horns through the dark, clondy mantles, and pulled herself past them, to shine out with renewed lustre. Such, thought I, is a picture cf life, and of myself in particular, for here I am trying to cast love's rays around Jennie's path, in hopes that she may guide me through life's firmament, but if some dark rival eclipses my happiness, then ray future will be only a dreary, dismal chaos. Next day we all strolled down te Garry Kennedy, to see the remains of the old castle which stands like a iernnant cf departed glory, near the river side. We coold see distinctly at the opposite side of the river the towns of Whitegalt and Mount Shannon Daly, and, in the distance, Woodford. In tliifc last named place are held annnally some lively sporting races. If . time and space would permit, I would like to say more I was forced to"par.came soon after, when Marion and the other snrrFrri. dear cousin peihaps never again to see them; but,nm- if you promise me to keep this as a secret, I tell you that Jennie and I will yet visit you tif we all live) ia Ebeosburg. The drive from ToitrOe to is only six miles. As it wa3 late In the evening when I entered It, I made for O' Meara's corcfortable hntal. on Castle street, where I pot up for the night. Nenagh ia a pretty, nicely laid out town. In Castle and Barrack streets there are some very fine business and private houies. Going up Peter street, I entered the large and costly Court LIouso, en whose bench sat thirteen magis trates in whose eins coursed the black, bru tal blood ef the Cromewelllan settlers. Such names as Poe, Head, Going, I'inch, Gabbet, &c, do not sound like Celtic names, and yet those were the kind of names those just-asses bore who were at the time trying two young Irishmen for publicly siuging, "0Djnnell Abu." This, you will say is a queer coun try, when a yoSng man is arrested and fined for singing or saying anything national, lest It may inspire them with a love for! their persecuted country. Near the Ceurt house is 9 large gaol over whose thick Etone wall Is the fatal, ghostly gallows. From this fatal "drop" swung the brothers M'Cor mack, who were hung for a crime thoy never committed. - One jury disagreed, but tbe peijured judge, "So-help-me-God" Kedgh, empannelled another jury and. told them to the efffct that lhay should bring in a verdict of "Guilty," which tkay did. Since - that time Kecgh, or as some call, Billy the Hatch er, dare not put in an appearance In this country, as he would be sure to get a leaden reception.. In this town are publiahed the" Tory Gridiron and Fenian Avalanche. The latter is run by as uncompromising and stea ling a patriot as lives in.this country Peter E, Gii.l whose acquaintance I was happy and fortunate in making. Gill, who is known to eorne as General, never loses a banco in or outside of his paper, to show up-in bold; fearles, scathing langnsge, the plunder, perfidy, injustice and inhumanity practiced towards this country by a hell spawned crew, miscalled tho government. Gill has earned the undying enmity of some for the manly stand he takes in politics, but be ean offord to smile with contsmpt on such pliant BjcophacU, as ho has the good wishes and hearty support of tbe frieze-coated far mer, the hard-fisted mechanic, and -of all others who would wish to seoheir eeuutry governed by t,he hand of justice. I intended to describe as far as Thurles in this letter, but I find I can't. I trust my letters reach you regularly. Ia about six or eight weeks more I will be thinking of tak ing a trip across the ocean, where I trust I will find you all well, girding your lelns and braclug up your nerves to be ready to fight, with success, the next Presidential cam paign. Yours, dear Mac, very truly, Erionach. OBITUARY. Kt. Rev. John JJctiill, df RIckmond, Ta. His grace the Light Reverend John Mc Gill, Itjman Catholic bishop of Richmond, Va., died in that city on Sunday laet. lie expired at his residence, cn Qrace etreet. Bishop Mt-Gill was a distinguished Amer ican prekite, who administered tbe hierarchy cal and priestly tffuirs cf a diocese which comprised all Western Virginia and the val ley formed by the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, extending as far as Monroe coun ty, iu West Virginia. He was carried off by cancer of the stomach, from which ho had been confined to his bed for tho past nine weeks. This well-know divine, by the ami ability of his temper and manner, won the esteem of all the other religious sects iu Vir ginia oa well as that of all the members of hid own. Bitlicp McGill was born in Phil adelphia on the 4th cf November, 1809. While ho was yet very ycung his parents removed to Bardstown, Kentucky. In his youth he studied the prefession of law, which he afterward practiced in New Orleans for about a year, when his inclinations led him to sfndy for the church. With this view he removed to Baltimore and entered St. Mary's seminary, where he went through a full theological course. After he had graduated with high honors he returned to Bardstown. Ky.. where lie was ordained priest by tho Right Rev. Bishop David, June 13, 1830, and was at otico made assistant priet, or curate, to the Rev. Mr. Spalding, then parish priest at Louisville, and now archbishop of the diocese cf Baltimore. Father McGill soon after this, owing to the labors of his mission and great study, bad his health impaired, and tooH a trip to Europe with a view to recover his physical energy. This was in the year 1837. He was eminently snccess' ful, returning with renewed vigor and health to the performance of his former duties. On his arrival in the United States, in addition to his ministerial duties, he edited a weekly Catholic journal, and was next appointed pastor to a church in Lexington, Ky. While there he received, on the 10th of October, in the year 1800. a boll from his holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, elevating him to the dignity of bishop of the see of Richmond. He was consecrated bishop at Bardstown by the most Rev. Dr. P. R. Kendrick, archbishop of St. Louis, on the 10th of November, 1850. He at once repaired to the rcene of his duties, and.arrived in Richmond December 0, 1850. Bifchop McGill was the author of several literary worl s of great merit. Among them may be mentioned his 'History of Calvin" sud "The True Church." Ho also made several translations of foreign literary woiks. In 1870 he attended the session of tho Ecu menical council In Rome, returning from the holy city, in the early part of 1871. Upon his arrival in New York he was for a consid erable period delayed there in consequenco of an attack of the disease which has just now brought htm to the grave. Bishop McOill's labors in his diocese were rewarded with the most signal success. He established several new churches, both in the state cf Virginia aud of West Virginia. The bells in the Calholic churches in Rich mond were kept tolling the solemn and sad news of the death of this eminent cleric all Sunday. Catarrhal Uroncliltls. - Catarrh, in which the lining of the nose and passages which lead into the lungs is a common infirmity, and by most persons is readily understood, at least so far as to bo able to distinguish the nature and character of tbe diseaee. When it descends into the bronchial tubes, and follows them in their minute ramifica tions throughout the lungs, it usually re ceives the plain name of bronchitia, and n i) less cured may end, and often dees end, in fearful pulmonary disaster. When it con fines itself to the mambrane cf the nose and upper part cf the throat it passes by the name of catarrh, which name, however, is hardly sufficiently significant to designate the character of the disease. By catarrhal bronchitis, therefore, I mean that the upper part of the mucous membrane lining tbe nose is affected, and that it extends down wards and affects tbe lining of the bronchial tubes which ramify the lungs. Dr. Ket ber's Ltjss Cure is a specific for this disease, as far as any one medicine can be a specific.

Tlie Evans Swindle. If Got ernor Geary knows aught about the arrangements and understandings had with the late State Agent, he must havo Jioafd that in reference to one item collected, amounting to about $800,000. there was a distinct agree ment entered into by Auditor General Hart rauft and Geo. O. Evans, that the fees sliould not be ten per cent., but should bs fixed after the work was completed,- and should be ample to pay for tho work dene. Jt fs need less to say that on this, as upon every ether item, the agent claimed and withheld tbo ten per cent., ns his fee, after specially agreeing with the Auditor Geceral thaE he was not to receive this amount. , , -i. How' can the Governor In the face cf such facts, and with a foil knowledge of them, attempt to vindicate the outrageous conduct of the State Agent? We are amazed at-the boldness of the attempt, and are much .de ceived ff it shall succeed in hoodwinking the public. On the contrary we know that .it has totally failed that . that public, with keen and correct foresight, has made up its mind'poa this snbject. and nothing short of actual proof, derived thrcngh a Legislative investigation of the whole matter, can change that judgment. . - . . : Wo are tOid'tnal the Governor, accepting the babblings of the supposed swindler, and adopting them, as his .own, holds thst the bargain made by the Auditor . General was illegal, void, and of no effect. .We are more as.tou.nded. still at this affrontery. - Mr. Evans entered upon a plaio, fair, well understood bargain that he should do certain work, to be placed in his hands by tho Au ditor General, and should .be paid according to the labor performed.- Was there anything wrong abopt. that?. Was there any advan tage taken in any way of Mr. Evans? Was this not manifestly the duty of the Auditor General to save the State if possible from an overcharge? Mr. Evans was satisfied to ac cept the service upon this condition, he did the work, and repudiating the express con dition, that his pay was to be fixed after wards, and in acoordance with the labor per formed, pocketed the. full ten per cent. and the Governor attempts to justify him In the act cf robbing tbe State. We cannot avoid the Datural query why does Governor Geary manifest so much zeal in the cause of George O. Evans? Why does he take up the cause of an accused swindler, and devote a column in his annual message to his vindication?. The people wonder at this, and they cannot avoid won dering." Is not the Legislature competent to investigate such charges as are made againtt a State c Ulcers ? Mutt the Governor take up the cause of an accused swindling State offi cial, and argue his innocence in his message, by the column when the commonwealth is the .plaintiff? : We had "thought' ihat we olected our Governors te proteet the interests of the Stale, not as special, pleaders against the initretls of the treasury; and in the in terest of accused State officials. Probably we are wrong, and that John W. Geary i right in defending Evans at the ex pense of the treasury. . It appears to us that his duly was wholly done, wheu he stated the charge against a State officer, aud asked the Legislature to give the matter attention. Why he has done more than this, we leave to the future; tut we cannot help expressing our chagrin, as well as our surprise, that Evans could find a ready advocate in the Chief Executive. of our State. Can H bo possible that other officials shared with him the spoils of his ofSce ? Tbe mtter must be looked squarely in the face$ the recent conduct cf the Governor, we consider rery extraordinary . and we call upon the Legislature to stand up boldly and not shrink from the responsibility imposed upon it. Various rumors have been in the air for months past, aod it Is high time that they be proved true or false. Let the whole matter be investigated by a committee, who will go to the bottom, sifting it most thor oughly, and if any bo found guilty, let the axe fall with Unrelenting severity, in order tbat justice may be wholly vindicated. We trust that tbe rumors we have referred to may turn out untrue; that a faithful in veetigation may reveal no criminality, but that in the end the worse that can bo said will be, that what was in reality only a mis take, has been fully rectified and'the Treas ury made whole. Pittsburgh Gazette. Lovkix A Ssowdrift. The KansaaCity Times recounts the termination of a very ro mantic young lady's ramble. A young and pretty girl named Miss Alamsda Cos grove, reaiditig at San Diego, last summer responded to an advertisement in the Wa verly Magnziae for a correspondence, with a view to enjoy "fan and amusement, and per haps matrimony." The new correspondent cf the young lady resided at Wathsna Ivans sas, and represented himself to boa mer chant, 3-oung. wealthy, honest, and in want of a wife. A long and loving correspond ence ensued between Jerome Markham and Miss Cosgrove. Photographs were exchang ed, and Miss Cosgrove was delighted to find her unseen lover a good-looking youth, d7 tingue in appearance and decidedly hand some. Finally she consented to come to Wathena to be married. Two weeks age she started for Kansas. All went well until she got on the Denver Pacific. After leav ing Cheyenno the train struck a drift and became hopelessly stuck fast. While snow bound near Crow Creek, Colorado. Misa Cos grove attracted the attention of Mr. Julius Emractt, a commission merchant of Kansas City, who perceiving the young lady seated alone, and evidently unprovided for Euch an emergency, very gallantly tendered such assistance as was in his power to give, which was a valise full of cold food and two buffa lo robes. Tho young cotiple were soon on friendly, social terms. Miss Cosgrove very naively recited her adventures, aud wsa re warded by Emmett informing her that he was single, etc. They parted with regret at Wathena, when the young lady turned to meat for the first time him she was to call her husband. She had a moment to wait before a rough, rakish-looking individual, at least forty years of age, mada himself known as hor correspondent and expectant huband. Miss Cosgrove, finding she bad been deceived, turned without a word and entered the car and went to Kansas City. A few days af terwards the lady married her friend Eca metl, and she will no doubt often wonder at the strange termination of a flirtation in a snow drift on the Denver Pacific. TnE Temperance Dodoe. Last winter the Rads made a labored effort, through the temperance politicians, to force the State Senate to pass a "local option" liquor law, and when that body defeated the measure the Radical editors and stumpers turned up their eyes in holy horror and denounced the Democrats for defeating this humane and necessary law. Now, that the Rads control both Houses, and could pass their favored act any day, the State organ the Ttlegraph cooly announces to the gullible temperance fraternity that such a law would be uncon stitutional.

The Louisville Ledger states that a party of Indiana thieves, a few nights ago, near Steals, in Martin county, stole a whole steam saw-mill machinery, boilers, engine, and all and carried it eff, by rail, to Illinois. This is tho heaviest robbery ever Leard of be fore.' A phenomenon has occurred in Indian apolis. A well, the water in which has been of remarkable coldness, has been growing warmer, and is now almost hot. The infer ence is that the city is rapidly growing worse and worse, and consequently the infernal re gions are approaching. Asa W. Clark, a workman in the furni ture manufactory of Wm. O, Haskell & Son, at East Lebanon, N. II., was probably fatal ly injured a few days ego. A knife in a slicking machine whieh he was tending flew and struck him on the throat, severing an artery and cutting the windpipe about half off.

Luckily, an Ameri can ship was cp for Xsw Vurk In a fsw days aud the captain, a light-hearted Yankee, hearing her story, and admiring her ccurag and devotion, gave her a fiee patsse back to her native land.
