Ur a provision of the new constitu tion any bill passed by the Legislature ami not vetoed by the Governor within thirty days after the adjournment of that body becomes a law of the com monwealth, and is as binding upon the citizens thereof as if it had received the otllcinl sanction. In this list may now be placed the celebrated boom bill, Governor Ilartranft having failed o file his objec tions, if he has any, and wake public proclamation of his veto within the time designated by tho con Btitution. TnK position of War Secretary in Grant's cabinet recently tendered to J. Donald Cameron, Esq., of this State, was on Thursday last accepted by that gentleman, who is now snugly enscon ced in his new quarters, and who, if re port be true, is soon to pvesent to the country the stiange anamoly of a cab inet ofilccr hea.ling a delegation to a political convention and using his of ficial and personal iufluence to secure the nomination of a candidate for President who shall be satisfactory to the man or the men who have made him-what he is. Common rumor, which makes and Unmakes reputations it its leisure, has tojlate brought Governor Ilartranft to fhe front as a Presidential aspirant, with, it is alleged, very fair prosects for success. The Conkling scheme, According to this theory, has been up aot by the meddlesome interposition of the newspapers, and the A d ministration ha therefore concentrated its influence upon Ilartranft, who is to be pushed forward earnestly and persistently by all the means at command, among not the least potent of which may be men tioned tho fact that the new Secretary of War, Don Cameron, is to lend the effort and marshal the Ilartranft hosts in person at Cincinnati. m - One day last week James Mulligan, of Boston, having been subpocned to nppcar as a witness before one of the Congressional investigation commit tees now in session, went to Washing ton city with eighteen letters, written by James O. Blaine, a prominent Re publican aspirant for Presidential honors in his possession. The taking of those letters to Washington filled Blaine with terror, and he forthwith called upon Mulligan and besought him for the sake of his wife and chil dren to surrender the letters, even threating, if Mulligan may be believed, to take his own life if the documents were not forthcoming. Failing to get them in that way, he next asked per mission to examine the letters, pledg ing his word to return them to Mulli gan, but when he got them ho kept them, and thus far has refused to let wen the committee see them. Noth ing daunted, however, Mulligan ap peared before the committee and tes tified that the letter contained evidence sufficient to show that Mr. Blaine, while Speaker of the House had dal Wed extensively in Northern Pacific raihoad stooks, either as a purchaser or as a bribed man. This assertion was promptly denied on part of Mr. Blaine, who eventually read the letters In the presence of the committee, but, If a dispatch from Mulligan can be re lied on, did not read them all, and bence kept bnek what the latter gen tleman alleges wculd have confirmed his statement had they been made pub lic. Speaker Kerr has been fully vin dicated from the foul aspersions cast upon his character by the witness llarnej, and now stands, a9 he has ever stood, before the country with his private and public honor untarnished. So much for the despicable effort to drag him down from his high position, and that too out of mere revenge for the odium which has been brought upon leading Republicans through the action of the various investigation committees at present and for months past cngnged in bringing to light "the ' wavs that arc dark and tricks that are vain" of so many dishonest officials connected with the national govern ment As the N. V. Tribune very jnstly remarks, and as all the decent newspapers in the country without re gard to politics very emphntically reiterate, the testimony of Harney had from the beginning no basis except Harney r3 mere word. It was not only opposed to nearly all reasonable prob abilities, and was fiatly contradicted by Mr. Kerr himself, but an exposure of Harney's life and character fully discredits him as a witness, while frorn other sources comes the most circum stantial evidence that Harney pocketed the money he received from Gicene. .More than all this, if not better than nil this, is the plain and unimpeachable stntement of the accused himself, pul lished in another column' in which he gives a very ininiitc and satisfactory account o.l the circumstances under which he advised the appointment of Greene, and which, taken in connection with the other foots, very effectually disposes of this infamous scandal. A Voice from the South. The following letter was written, "more than three months ago, by a prominent lawyer of the South to a distinguished Democrat inWashington, but not being intended for publication it only Tiow finds its way into print. It is believed to contain a fair state ment of the general feeling and opinion prevailing in the South on the political situation, and as such we deem it worthy of a place in ourcolumns, which we accord to it without further com ment: , Miss., March 4, 1876. Hox. : Dear Sir To an outsider anxious that harinouy shall prevail 4 in the views of tho Democrats of different j sections it appear that entire success will not probably attend the present efforts be- ( ing made at Washington to bring about so ! desirable a condition of feeling. I say j "appears," because I can only speak of things as they lock to a inyman" n. thin s distance. Although I sympathize entirely ' with all efforts to produce unity of senti- j merit and action upon the financial question j it does Reem to me that if a little more de- j termination otTpurpose to go for hard money j were made apparent by those who favor ! that view of the question, supported by ( those who are not so deeply concerned for : the success of t hat principle as Tor a change of administration, it would do more to se cure concert of action than anything that has yet been tried. I take it for granted that all the Southern States, except South Carolina and, potfilly, Florida,' will vole for the nominee of tho ! Democratic party, without much regard to bis views upon the financial question ; j simply because to them (the Southern i States) a change of aJministrat ion, with all that implies, is of more consequence than the question of "gold and silver, or green back" important as they recognize the t ' ter to be. This will give us 127 electoral ' votes to start with ; and, as 185 is a major ity, there will bo only 58 more necessary. ii order to succeed. To most Northern people It would lid d-'UVt !:rc !!re tr ance of political heresy to state that any question is of more importance than the j one of finance. JSo that as it may, it is ! none tho less true as regards us of the j South. If the North knew the situation ; in the South, especially, if they had fell it as we have, for year?, they would, perhaps, look at the matter as we do. Premising that any candidate who will be nominated will get the 127 Southern votes, as above specified, would not the votes of New York, New Jersey and Con necticut, making 50, and those of Califor nia and Oregon, making 9 more, be safe for the Democrats with a hard money man ? This would give us 180 votes, and that would bo a majority without another State. It is apparently very doubtful, even with a soft money platform, about carrying any of the Western States ; and such a plat form would probably lose us all the abovo Northern and Pacific States. The chances to carry those- above mentioned for the Democracy with a liard money platform are evideutly much better than to carry the Western States, or any of them, with a soft money platform. An intermediate platform would probably cany neither, j Jesidcs, U the Western bl a tea saw a deter mination to carry out the above policy enough of them would probably acquiesce to make tne triumph assured for a larger 1 majority ; if. indeed, any of the Western Mates can bo earned by the Democracy ! hi an ; which is more than ooubttiil. The South, I think, does not favor con traction ; but a bard money platform can be made without contraction, and without resuming as early as 1870 ; if resumption be, as is generally held, impossible without ... . : r . i - i . i . 1 1 nmuatuuu. i in m k me enure snmn, with tho exception of tho two States pre viously named, would go for the nominee of the Democratic party upon a hard money platform, if there were no contraction feature iu it. That is the way it look to me. Tlie dftirtfor change of Administration is more strenuous with . than any and every thing benikes. All this I say without intending to give an opinion on the mooted question of "gold or greenbacks ;" but to show the only way, as it seems to us hero in the South, to secure a change of Admin istration a thing tho South nodi, and at prcseut wants, more than any change in finance and currency, important as that may be. Very Truly Yours, The Roston Transcript of Monday last makes this startling statement in its editorial columns : "It is susceptible of proof, on the testi mony of well known gentlemen :iow In Bos ton, that Josiah Caldwell said in their pres ence In this city that he paid Mr. Blaine f,,r his Influence In seenring legislation favora aoto to the railroad enterprise in which Mr. Caldwell was engaged." The Transcript gives in another part ef the same issue a conversation between a "well known lawyer," whose name is not given, ami Mr. Fisher, on the ca.s between Boston and Worces ter, when Mr. Fisher and Mr. Mulligan were on their way to Washington. Mr. Fisher pointed to Mulligan's green bag, a: id said there was "evidence in that bag that would damn Blaine." The account continues : "His companion asked what that meant, and Mr. Fisher replied that there was a let ter in the hag from Mr. Blaine (to Fisher), which said, substantially 'I have had a great deal of trouble at the heel of the session to get this Little Rook and Fort Smith hill througl! and ulqnently the. writer adds, 'I think I deserve some compensation." The explanation of this is, that the original grant to the road wa with a restriction forbidding the sale of lands at less than a certain price per acre, and the 'great deal of trouble referred to was In the removal of that restriction, which was ultimately ac complished, to the decided advantage of the company." The lawyer, when waited npon said that this account was "substantially correct" though not "exactly accurate," and Involuntarily said that "Mr. Fisher m.-in another statement to him which was still more damaging to Mr. Blaine." I'M l (Jen. B. F. Butler has written a letter to Sneaker Kerr in which he ex presses the belief that there is not a decent man, woman or child in the country who believes the charge made against him (Kerr), and hopes that he will not permit himself to be worried by what he terms an infamous conspi racy to injure the fair fame of an hon orable man. Coming from so promN nent and so uncompromising a political opponent as Gen. Butler, Mr. Kerr ccrtainlv has eoo1 reason to Itenrond o - i of such an unqualified endorsement of his public and private virtues. A DispATcrr from Portland Oregon, dated June 7th, says that the State has undoubtedly gone Democratic, and that the Democrats claim a major ity of twelve on joint ballot in the Legislature. Democratic national convention at St. Louis, Tuesday, June 27lb. Speaker Kerr' Explanation. On Monday last Speaker Kerr, al though in a very feeble state of health appeared before the committee on ex penditures in the War Department and .made the following full and satisfactory statement, which was read by Mr. Elliott, in reply to the baseless charcres brought against him by the witness ' Harney, of whose despicable conduct our readers have already been apprised: SPEAKER KERK8 STATEMENT. "When I entered Congress, in 1865, 1 un derstood that some kind of reorganization of the army was in progress, and that a considerable number of lieutenants were to be appointed in somo way. I did' not un derstand that this was to be done under tbe provisions of any preexisting law, or of any department regulation authorized by such law, but that it was being doue under some voluntary regulation made by the de partment. I did not understand that the appointment was a legal right vested in the Representative or a duty imposed upon liim by law, like the appointment of cadets to tbe acadan.ies, but rather a privilege given him by the War Department. I re member seeing in tho public press Borne department order on the subject, the terms of which I do not remember well. I know that I regarded the appointment as due to my district or State, in preference to all others, if application were made. I offered it to two ex Federal soldiers, whom I re garded as worthy and competent. These geutleraen, however, both declined. I am not aware that any Democratic soldier ever applied to me foe the place. I abso lutely know that I held the appointment at the service of the people of my district or State, if any should apply, but none ap plied not one, of whom I have the slight est recollection. When the long session of Congress was well advanced, and the time for these appoiutments was passiug away, I was called upon, as has already appeared, by Augustus P. Greene, of New York. It is possible that he was first introduced to me by Harney, but if he was I have no recollection whatever of ".he fact. This u a kiOW, that I did never, under any circumstances or at any period of my life, consciously know the man Harney. I never talked with liim in any conversation that could have gone beyond the merest ex pressions of the day. He never was at my room ; lie never visited mo anywhere ; I never talked with him on any business matter whatever ; be never paid or proposed to pay one penny of money for any purpose in the world. His whole statement on that subject is utterly and wickedly false. It is simply impossible that I could have talked with him on a matter so fatally involving honor, official deceucy and personal safely and not have retained a vivid recollection of tho fact. But I was introduced in wme way to Mr. Gicene, and my recollection is that the first inteiview we had was on one of tho sofas in the hall of the House, during a session of tho House. I listened to his story, witnessed his anxiety to get back into the anny and admired the enthusiasm with which be spoke of his service in the volunteer army. He exhibited to me his testimonials those, I mean, filed by him early in the session. 1 also remenibor hav ing said to him in substance that I ad mired bis soldierly bui'.d and bearing, but said to him, "You are comparatively a stranger to me. Most of these gentlemen whose recommendations you produce aro strangers to roe. If you can get some re commendations from persons in New York, whom I know iu person or by reputation, I will feel inclined to consider your appli cation favorably." He answered that lie could ; ho would return to New York and get them. Ho did go away. How long ho was gone I do not know, but if I were to fix any timo I would say it could hardly have been less than a week. He did return wilh several recommendations I should think not less than half a dozen from per sons of the kind I had indicated, who did recommend him, both on personal grounds and as a soldier, and upon thb whole case thus made 1 gave him the recommendation. Mr. Greene states that I went with him to the War Department. My recollection is to the contrary, nd that my intercourse with the department was conducted by letter. It is possible, however, that in this I may be mistaken. I desire to explain briefly to the com mittee why it was that I took the steps I djd in reference to Harney and rcene in New Yolk. When I received the anony mous note in an envelope, postmarked "New. York city," I read it and re-read it aud recalled the recollection of tho fact that I had recommended a man named Greene for a lieut.enantcy in the army who had been appointed, but I could recall no recollection whatever of Harney. I did not know, then-fore, how to interpret the anonymous note, except, by the assumption that it meant blackmail, in which opinion my friends almost universally concurred. Mr. J. S. Moore happened to lo in this city at the time; our relations had been exceedingly friendly for many years, and my mind at once tinned towards him, knowing him to Lo an officer in the New York Custom House, as the only man who could likely secure some information about Harney, if not also about Greene. Soon after the receipt of this note I ascertained from the War Department that Mr. Greene had been dismissed the service, on the verdict of a court martial, for di unkenncss. It occurred to me that lie might since have become a wreck in conduct and chaiacter who could be used by wicked men for law less purposes. I therefore desired, nat ural ly, to ascertaiu something about bim, and requested Mr. Moore not only to get such infoitnatiou concerning Harney on his re turn to New York as he could, but also concerning Greene. . I gave Mr. .Moore a copy of the anonymous note and retained tho original. For what took place in New Yoik afterwards, as to the employment of counsel and the use of detectives, I refer the committee to the testimony of Mr. Moore, which I think is very substantially correct and full on those points. I wanted steps to protect me against any danger that might be threatened. I didn't know what it might be. I remembered only the ap pointment of Greene. I knew nothing about Harney. I was advised that an at tempt to blackmail under tbo laws of New York was felouy, and I promptly deter mined to ferret this thing out, if needs be to the extent of a criminal prosecution against the man Harney, or whoever the person might be. I desired full informa tion about Greene, naturally, I think, be cause he had been dismissed from tho army and I never had seen him since his appointment, except for possibly two min utes, at my own office in the city of New Albany, Indiana, when he called to pay his respects, and our interview then was extremely short and merely formal. I did ! not know but he might have become a very debased man, rnpableof anything. I naa naa some previous expel tence or the degradation which men could reach in New York possibly there a little more than elsewhere in the country and I was desir ous of getting the best information I could about Mr. Greene. Gno,'A. Frtntz, a clerk in the Cincinnati post-office, who was to have been married on Tuesday evening last, failed to appear at the appointed time, and on s arch being mado be was found in hi room lying on the In'd, when he put a pistol to his breast aud bbot himself through the heart. Tattooing. We saw at ex mayor Baf num's residence this morning a wonder of tattooing on the person of CapU George Costontenus, a descendant of a noble Greek family, from the province of Albania. His statement is tbat while lie, together with an American aud a Spaniard, were mining iu Chinese Tartary in. 1867, a rebellion arose and tbo three joined tbo insurgents. Ill luck coming to their cause they were taken prisoners and subjected to tbe tat tooing process for three' months, as a pun ishment in lieu of having their beads cut off. He 6ays that the process causes such terrible pain that it required six men to bold him while one man performed the op eration. After it was completed all three escaped from the piison, but tlie'Americau only survived five or six months. Tho Spaniard 'lost his eyesight ' and died in Manilla, but Captain Costentenus survives and is in good health. The tattooing" was doue with indigo aud cinnabar,, producing blue aud red colors, and there is not a single point on his body which is not covered with these colors, so that it is impossible to discover what was the natural color of bis skin except by his ears and the soles of his feet, which aro the only parts they did not cover with tattoo. He ' appeared at flit sight as though he wa6 clothed with very close fittiug tights made of a shawl or of very soft, fine druggett. Upon a close inspection, however, it in seen that be is entirely naked and that the apparent tights are an illusion. Moreover his whole person is found to be covered with a great variety of animal figures with their names most ingeniously and skillfully printed into the cuticle. On tho forehead are animals and inscriptions, and on the faco star-like figures. On the hands are namerous red points and figures resembling sculptifres, as well as long tailed, panther like shapes. On the neck, chest, abdomen, back, and extremities, the skin is a mass of symniet- i-i , . . .. ncaiiy arrangca ana aaimraniy executed figures of monkeys, tigers, lions, elephants, peacocks, storks, swans, suakes, crocodiles, lizards, niingkd with bows, arrows, leaves, flowers, and fiuits, on the palms of tho hands aro indescribable figures, and little figures are on tbe inside of the fingers. Ou the back sides of both feet to the toes are blue points, aud from tbe toes to the uails aro red lines. Altogether there are 383 tattooed pictures on the entiro body on the forehead, "2 ; neck, 8 ; chest, 50; back, 37, abdomen, 52 ; upper extremi ties, 101; lower extremities, 137. He is certainly no of the greatest .human curi osities ever seen. Ho has travelled in ail countries, except America, and is attracted here by the Centennial exhibition. He spoke English, French, Spanish and Italian this morning and he understands tho Ara bic, the Persian and several other lan guages. He is about fivo feet ten inches high, has a superb physique, his hair is straight, jet black And glossy. .. To the touch bis skin has a very soft, velvety feel ing, anl it has so much the appearance of being clot tied that he might walk' through the public streets without any one suspect ing that he wan not dressed iu tinLls. We understand that Mr. Ij.truum has engaged him to tiavel with bis great show at a salary of $100 a day, and that he will make his first appearance in Providence next Monday. Bridgeport (C't.) Standard, HOtt. Thieveky at IlAituisBcnG. Tito Of ficial Arretted. Considerable excitement was created in llanisburg on Saturday last by the arrest of Marshall S. Smith, a State Treasury clerk since 1(505, ami John A. Waggoner, clerk in the Auditor Gener al's othco under General Ilartranft and latterly a private night watchman. The arrest arose from the confession of J. H. Millspaugh, city treasurer of Scranton, who had conspired with Smith and, vYuggouer lo defraud the State out of five thousand dollars license fees. According to "Mills paugh, Waggoner came to him at Scrantou and infoiined bim of a handsomo specula tion ; if iu his annual return he did not em brace all the money due the State he would not suffer. Subsequently arrangements were made by the party to cheat the lieas ury out of five thousand dollais, two thous and five hundred dollars of the plunder to go to the Scrantou o racial and I he reuiawi der to be divided between Smith and Wag goner. The fraudulent return was mado and the money distributed as per agree ment. Millspaugh lately became nervous over a prospective investigation in Luzerne county that promised lo wreck him, and he endeavored by letter to induce Smith to restore the $2,5oO in his hands, but this failing, he came to Harrihbuig with one of his counsel and had an interview with Smith, when the latter promised to restore the $'J,500 to the State. He failed to meet his obligation and Gov. Ilartranft made an in format ion against hiin aud Waggoner before the major, on which the accused were arrested. In default of $3,500 bail each they were committed t prison for a hearing. Smith is charged with embezzle ment, larceny, forgery, consipracy to cor ruptly solicit and corrupt solicitation. All the charges but embezzlemant also apply to Waggoner. The State will use Mills paugh to convict tho defendants, and un less Luzerne county should prosecuto bim be will go free. Smith has been one of the best clerks on the bill, and his arrest js a great surprise. He is from Indiana county, and has a family there. He has never beeu suspected of rascality until now. Wag goner was dismissed from the Auditor Gen eral's office by General Allen for alleged collusion with a dishonest county treasurer. He predict that the present arrest is but the beginning of the end, aud that bigger game will bo brought down. When re moved to his cell in the prison Smith broke down completely and wept bittorly. Wag goner was more composed. The Fast Traix. The trans-ccntinen-tal fast train has accomplished its journey from ocean to ocean iu 83 hours 34 minutes, its progress on the Central Pacific Railroad having been somewhat delayed by the wearing out of the brakes, which necessi tated an addition to the train to insure safety in the heavy mountain-grades. Everything considered, the feat is really a remarkable one. In their flight the passen gers climbed three great mountain ridges and crossed tho two great rivers of the continent ; the train, too, had the most of the way to depend on sirqlo-track roads, and some of I hose are infeiior in ballast in t to the English lines. Notwithstanding this the wlule, performance surpassed that of tho great liglish trains which run nightly rrom L mdon to Edinburgh and Holyhead, even without taking into con sideration tho fact that tho "Wild Irish man" and "Mad Scotchman" only travel hundreds of miles, where what may bo Myled the "G.Ahead Yankee" traversed thousands. The fast train has, of course, been primarily and advertisement for its managers ; it will have at least tho effect calling public attention to the possibility and advisability of extending our fast-mail system throughout tbe country, and it may induce railroad managers on tho great trunk lines, where travel is largo and traveler desire economy of time above all things, to substitute trains rnnning 35 or 40 miles an hour for those that now make barely 20. The New York papers have been nt the trouble of examining into the career of Harney, the witness who professes to have paid Speaker Kerr ?150 to secure an army appointment. Frotn the '' accounts pub lished it appears that he is a thoroughgoing pimp and loafer whoso oath is a market able commodity at anybody's service. Kew ami Other Noting.
