Samuel Calvin, Esq. TitElfailnre of Jny Cooke & Co. occurred in September, 1873 five years ago and was the signal of the financial crash that followed throughout the counfry.and which baa continued ever since to oppress and weigh it down. Several dividends, small in amount, have from time to time been declared, and it is now announced that the final distribution will be made about the 1st of October, which will make a total of 51 per cent, of each claim against the estate a much better showing than was at flit anticipated. Nearly an entire new legi.-la'Jve ticket ' was nominated last week by the Citizens Committee t.f Allegheny county. Of the tistfrn candidates nominated, ioaie Dem ocrats, fire are Republicans, four are G reeu backers, and one is a Piohibitionist. Fire are new men, and eltre n had been pre viously nominated by the old parties. One of the new nominees is Hon. James II. Hopkins for State Senator. These nomi nations have been made in the interest of legislative reform, and it is claimed will defeat several of the Republican ring can didates. If such should be the outcome, Cameron ism will suffer to that extent- and lh- citizens of Allegheny county will have pei formed a most patiiotic duty. The political campaign has fairly com menced in Ohio and Indiana, and in a short ttme will be at fever beat. The elec tion in both States will take place on the first Tuesday in October. In Ohio, which does not elect a LeRisla'ure this year, the Democrats are pretty certain to elect a ma jority of the Congressmen. In Indiana the exciting question is the Legislature, upon rt H e complexion of which will depend the re election of Daniel W. Voorhees to the U. S Senate, In each State both parties 1isve their ablest men on tbe stump, and immense mass meetings are being held and addressed by them. Tbe Greenback vote in Ohio will not likely control the election of Congressmen to any great extent, but it will undoubtedly have that effect in In diana, O hi. return trip from California las't week. Judge Jeremiah S. Black, in an in terview with a press reporter at Omaha, expressed the hope that he wcnld yet see itneral Hancock elected President, and also signified his belief that Gov. Tilden would be the Democ.-atie nominee in 1880. Much as we.respecl Jadge Black's opinions npon almost every?question, we think he fails to see the drift of Democratic senti ment when he predicts Mr. Tilden's nomi nation two years hence. It seems to us that Democratic tendencies are rapidl? as suming any other shape than that, and that vetvird the star1 of Democracy, like the star of empire, is surely taking its way. But in this age of political uncertanties. it is impossible to tell what a day much less two years, may bring forth, and Judre Black's prediction may possibly, though not probably, be verified. Okn. CAMrnELi. addressed a Republican meeting iu tbe Somerset Court House last werk, and had tbe rare modesty to say to Lis hearers that "the Democratic party was d,-ad." This discovery is not original with Gen. C, for nearly every Whig and Republican candidate for Congress in this country for the last quarter of a ceuMirv ... me same Hung, and holds a patent for it.

' Thf. nomination of Gca. CofXroth as tbo Democtatie candidate for Congress in this district, seems to bave affected tbe editor i of .the Bedford Inquirer in the same way I that a red flag does a belligerent bull, when ! it Js shaken in his front in tbe arena by a Spanish maladore. It does not follow be- ' cause a man is nominated for Congress by either of the political parties that he is therefore a scoundrel corrupt and dishon estor that he is a trickster who is not to be trusted. Such, however, is the low ground occupied by the Inquirer a regard to Gen. Coffroth. Its assaults upon njm . , . . lent and uncalled for, that the Altoona Tnbvne, an uidependent paper, which is anxious to see justice done to both Gen. Coffroth and his opponent, Gen. Campbell, ' r ' felt constrained a couple of weeks ago to administer to it a deserved rebuke. Its admonition, however, was not heeded by ' J Geu. Campbell's Bedford organ, but only made it more abusive, if possible, which has moved .the Tribune again to interpose between the Inquirer and the object of its wrath, Gen. Coffroth, in its issue of Mon day, last, in a brief article which will be found in another part of our paper. Vile and indiscriminate abuse of a candidate always reacts in his favor, aud as General Coffioth happens to be well known all over Bedford county, the malignant articles of the Inquirer will cause a good many men to vote for him who might otherwise have declined to do so.

In contrast wi'.h the devilish spirit which prompted these brutal utterances, how re deeming and ennobling aie the efforts of the men and women of the big hearted North, with the milk of human kindness running through their veins, to minister to the wants and alleviate the sufferings of the fever-stricken and almost depopulated cities and towns in the lower Mississippi valley? Human nature instinctively pro tests against the unfeeling and cowardly taunts burled by the Tribune&t a prostrate helpless, and sorely afflicted people. In a speech which Thaddeus Stevens once de livered iu a criminal case in a neighboring county, in thisJState, and in which a wit ness for the prosecution had exhibited some of the same spirit of diabolism that per vades the above extract from the Tribune, ho said of him to the jury: "Judging1 from the fell spit it of hate towards the de- j fendant which this witness has manifested in his testimony, if it were given to him to locate his own heaveo, he would select a spot on the confines of the infernal regions, i wneio wit n nnmixed pleasure he could forever hear and enjoy tbe groans and agouics of the damued." The Democratic Slate Committee of! Massachusetts met at Boston last week and fixed tbe time for holding the State con vention on the 17th of this month. There was an almost unanimous desire expressed by the members that the State, as well as the country, should understand that the Democracy of Massachusetts will not coun tt nance any truckling to, or any trade made with Ben IJutlcr. This is right, and is the only way by which they can preserve their honor and their organization in all i:s in tegiity, let the election result as it may. In the meantime, Butler in a long letter has consented to become a candidate for Gov ernor at the request of fifty-one thousand, more or less, of woikingmen, who signed petitions and sent them to him with that object in view. If tnese signers, who are simply ministering to the vanity and per sonal aims of a practiced demagogue, would unite with the true Democracy of the State, between whom and themselves there are many essential purposes in com mon, they might be able to accomplish a substantial victory. But as Butler, like his prototype of olJ, would rather be the first man in a country village than the sec ond man in Rome, their strength wil! only be frittered away npon him, and will render certain the triumph of the political dynasty which they profess such eager anxiety to overthrow. ALTnoron we do not intend to nauseate our readers with a surfeit of Dennis Kear ney's communistic speeches delivered at the different points he visits, we cannot refrain from pnblishing the following ele gant extract from his wild utterances at Cincinnati two weeks ago to-night. From it one can take the full measute of this modern Jack Cade, as accurately as the ancients claimed to judge of the dimensions of nercules from the size of his foot print : Isny we must oppose everything.

J.j In 1SG0 the population of the State, as per L'nited States census, was 2,000,215, and the state expenditutes under democratic control were $370, 004 or about thirteen cents for each individual. In 1870 the population as per census was 3,521,931. Allowing the same rate of annual increase as from 19G0 to 1870 the population would bo about 4,014,533 in 1878. The State ex penditures under Republican control were for that year $1,3:(2.3S3 or about thirty three cents for each individual. Who dare defend this amazing robbery of the people? But an increase of population is not a I just basis for an increase of governmental expenditure, for the same official machinery that wil, govern three millions of people, will equally well govern five millions, with only slight additions to the number of local officers, a few additional clerks, some in crease of courts, etc. No more governors or departmens of government existed in 1873 than in 1859. but 113 members were added to the legislature by the constitution of 1873, and for that no particular party is responsible. The increase of cost, how ever by tha. addition should have been only trifling. Stripped of all necessary explanation then, we have the fact staring the people the taxpayers, broadly in the face that it COSTS MilliE TITAN THREE TIMKS ASP A HALF AS MCCH TO CO.NDrCT THE STATE GOVERNMENT UNDER REPUBLICAN, AS IT DOES UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE ! ! In Oth er words, as the state government need not cost much over $079,091. as heretofore de monstrated by democratic administration the present republican administration liu erally robs the people of the immense umof nearly one million of dollar annually ! The figures we give are from the official record, and they can not be dodged or ex plained away. There they stand beyond the power of contradiction, or excuse, or extenuating circumstance. They clearly show the annual robbery that is perpetrated npon the people. Do the people so well l:k to pay taxes that they will continue the Republicans in power? Do they like to be robbed by the million? Or will they prefer honest role and eco nomical expend id u-e? If the people want to rontinno tLo iravngani tJimeron-renublican mi -ha will effect their object by voting for Hoyt, and thus keep the same cormorants in pow er that have been gnawing their virals. wasting their subst ance and oppressing and grinding them to the earth for years. But if the people want honest and frugal state, government whicb 6hall not take from them their substance, and shall leave them to the comfortable enjoyment of all their rights and all that belongs to them, they must vote for Audtew II. Dill, tbe Demo cratic state ticket, and Democratic mem bers of the legislature. The Democratic party, if successful of the next election, will be nnder bonds to ! administer the government in ti nn. i uiigai manner mat efficiency If it does not do this it will l. r,r.M ' hurled from official place, for it is upon this ' pieage mat ii will come into power.

Not Mcch of a Crime-. Tbe Bedford Inquirer is laboring most energetically to elect General Coffrutb to Congress. What motives prompted or governed Gen. Cof froth in voting for the constitutional ameudjuent and generally snstaining the war measures demanded by the exigencies of the times we do not know nor do we care to know.

Dut that he ' was on the side of right while so many of ! side is a fact that must be accepted and in terpreted that General Coffroth was acting . iiom an uonest motive and a patriotic j j principle. There will be few that will fault ! I him at this late day for being in accord' i with the then prevailing sentiment of the f people as reflected by the Republican party. We are not aware that the country has nn- j aergone any great change of sentiment as : to ine wisdom and propriety of Gen Cof- froth's couue in Congress on all these mat ters. If he supported the war bv his vote and voice in the nation's councils, he should . . . . ' ( not De blamed for it any more than Gen. rf"l 1. 11 1 II 1 1 , . .

The Inquirer has not i . vet learned that the war nflet iivi, t dozen years ago ; that since then there has been a great financial crash, followed by general commercial and industrial depres sion and distress the fruitage of the war, from which the people are seeking relief. Fogy-like It is burrowing among the musty records of tbe past, instead of dealing with the living present. The "ensanguined rag" has become too tattered and faded to attract much attet.tion outside of those whose arms never become weary of dis playing it in the absence of something bet ter to enthuse the dispirited multitude.

Miss Annie Aberhard, of Oregon street, says the Balti more Gazette, had been confined to her bed for three years, aud during the past three months bad been failing rapidly. She is abont 22 years of age, of neat appearance and good demeanor, and has many warm friends in the neighborhood who watched the progress of her disease with anxiety. She was attended hv Di !iltoh..,. Jlilbolland, Spicer, and other physician without appearing to experience any per manent relief or improvement. A few weeks ago Father Ah ft rn rF Sf- - l eter s, was callud in, and administered the last sacraments of the Cathol ie Church to the suffering and supposed dying girl. After the solemn ceremony the Rev.Fatherj moved by her piety and patience, suggest ed to her to make a novena to St. Vincent and St. Peter, and to rav for th. lrA v. w w W restore her to health. Ou St. Peter's day Father Ahren celebrated Mass for her, and ' a numoer ol her friends piously assisted with their prayers, the girl also appealing to the Ixud to restore her health. As though in answer to the supplication in her behalf, her health improved, she was soon able to leave her hed, and on Sat urday last all traces of the disease, except those left by the long and tedious confine ment to a bed of pain, had disappeared. She had for some time experienced some debility, which however, day by day was diminishing, and she is now able to attend to her nsual domestic avocations.
