THAW, “ TilK COJI.IIOXEU, Notwithstanding his, physician has warned him to he careful “ not to be come excited,” old Thud continues to write, and fume and fret. His disease appearaju bo confiscation on the brain, and ho is in a constant had humor with everybody and even with himself. Ho lashes tho members of ids own party unmercifully occasionally, because they refuse to do ids bidding with tho alacri ty lie demands. Recently lie pitched into Wilson and Kelly, and intimated that they “ entertained rebel views and uttered rebel sentiments.” He says the Union is dissolved, and that ho is un willing ,tp see tile ten disfranchised (States ever send representatives to Con gress again. Ho wants registration,eon- Hsca.ion, amalgamation, taxation, and everything else that ends with t-i-o-n. Poor old lunatic. Thad .Slovens is an imported Yankee, and is about as bad a man as over lived outside the infernal regions. In 1838 he attempted to unhinge the State Gov ernment, got up the Buckshot war, and advised his partisans to “ treat the elec tion as though it hart never been hold.” At that time Forney insisted that Ste vens should either he banished from the State or hanged. It would have been well for the people laid Forney’s advice been heeded. For many years Stevens put in Ills time in persecuting Masons and Odd Fellows, and during the Rit nor administration lie had hundreds of them dragged' to the seat of govern ment, to be interrogated by a packed committee of the Legislature, of which ho was chairman. Several of them— the best men in the State—wore cast in to prison, because they refused to reveal the pass-words and secrets of (heir Or ders, and Stevens advocated a bill be fore the House making it a penitentiary oifense for auy man to join the Masons or Odd Fellows. .Subsequently lie head ed the infamous and ever-to-bo detested Know-Nothing faction, and took bold ground in favor of banishing from the country all men and women of foreign birth, or who held to tile Catholic reli gion. Ho is now engaged in ids old business—the persecution of Ids fellow man. Ho could not exist a day if lie had no one to persecute; it has been the habit of his life. His assaults upon the people of the Honth arc not a hit more vindictive or bitter than were his as saults upon the Masons, Odd Fellows, Catholics and foreigners in days gone by. He must have somebody or some th lug. to tight, and harass and annoy, or he coaid not live. And yet this lind hearted man—this man why is never so happy as when he secs misery and dis tress in others—is by no means a hold man; on the contrary he is an arrant coward, as indeed arc ail petty tyrants. He lias not and never had a patriotic or religious emotion. Cold, morose and stilish, he is a perfect Islunaclito, with ids hand against every man who refuses to come up to the full standard of his fa natical and persecuting policy. And this is the man the lladieal-ne gro-equality party tonics up to for ad vice. Before the people of this State, he would hi; defeated for any office by a hundred thousand majority. Thh mass es of the Radical party would refuse to vote for him, for they Know and fuel that he is a bad and dangerous man—a man who, to gratify his own fostering; heart, would see his country and its poo-- pie disgraced and ruined, lie wants his Rump Congress to re-assemh\o in July. The people of the South having, to his great disappointment, accepted, without murmur, the provisionsof the infamous military despotism Bill, he is determined to give them some thing they cannot accept or live na iler. Ho wishes to goad them into opposition fo the Hump Congress, so that he may have a plausible excuse for pressing his“ mild confiscation” scheme. What n relief will it lie to the people of the whole country, when this wicked and traitorous man is called lienee to give an account of the “deeds done in the body.” .' ; Mrs. SwissnELJt on Gen. Ghaut.— Mrs. Swisslielm, like Miss Annie Dick inson, is one of the leaders in the Radi cal-negro-equality-free-lovo party. She resides at Washington, where site acts as correspondent for several Radical pa pers, among others the Chambersburg Repository. In one of her recent letters to that journal sire pitches into Gen. Grant as follows; “ General Grunt, being u Democrat and an open sympathizer with slavery, the cause of tlm war was, lu pursuance of our kid-glove war pulley, re tained in command through blunders which would have secured the disgrace of any Radical Gen.

X WAGON LOAD OF t-LUNDEU I | On Sabbath afternoon last a rumbling noise, accompanied by tho cracking of i whips and a voice crying out “ gee-up, i there,” disturbed tho quiet reflections i of our people, most of whom, we pre sume, hndjustrotumedhomofrom their : respective churches. The noise was oc casioned by a heavily-laden wagon to which was hitched two powerful horses, - passing through Hanover street. It came from the direction of Pnportown, and was followed by two burly-tooking police officers—both Democrats—and was on its way to Harrisburg, the city whore hundreds of 11 loyal” fellows live by their wits, and by plunder and cor ruption. The horses wore very ranch fagged,'for tho load was too heavy for them, being some two and a-half tons. “. What is it?—what’s up ?” asked many men as they gazed at the wagon and tho jaded horses, after they had came to a halt for rest. It reminded us of the do ings loyal” gentlemen a few. years ago, Who scoured the country with old ambulance wagons, begging all the lin en and cotton rags that could be raked or scraped together, to lie used as ban dages “ for the poor soldiers who had been wounded in battle,” hut who took precious good care to sell the rags to pa per-makers, who ground them into pa per and then sold the paper to poor devils of printers at exhorhitant prices. At length, after being importuned for some time, one of the police officers in charge of tho wagon, revealed the se-. eret. It was a wagon load of plunder, which had been traced to Muliin’s mill, at Mount Holly! It appears that for a long time the employees in and about the Capital buildings at Harrisburg, (Geary’s hirelings,) have been in the habit of stealing books, papers and doc uments from the different departments, and selling them to paper dealers, who in turn sold thorn to paper-makers, to ho used in the manufacture of white pa per. Tons of thousands of dollars, it is believed, have been stolen from the State in'this way. Hundreds of hooks which cost So a volume, were stripped of their hacks and sold as waste paper. Tho Reports of the heads of Depart ments, tho Legislative Record, and even the 11. S. mail-bags 'were gobbled up and sold by the wagon-hind. A few days ago, nearly a score of these, paper-thieves were arrpsted at Harjy's-l hnrg, (thanks to n Democratic Mayor and Democratic police oflicera,) and hound over for their appearance at Court. Every one of them is “loyal” to tho core; they had been appointed to snug positions on the hill because of their very “ loyal” sentiments; and for their bravery in voting and talking against such “copperheads and rebel-' sympathisers” ns Colonels Davis and Linton, who in 18(jo were the Demo cratic candidates for Auditor General ' and Surveyor General. Several tons of these stolen hooka and documents, we repent, were traced to tho mill of Win. R. Jtullin & Son, at Ml. Holly, ant} the pol ice officers seized tho same, and were conveying them hack to Harrisburg, to be used ns testimony against tho thieves. No blame whatever attaches to the Messrs. Mullin. They bought the doe- aments of a paper dealer in Harrisburg, and paid full price for the same, and supposed they wore buying waste paper. They are entirely clear of all blame, and will lie witnesses when the suits come In conclusion we direct attention to an article on this subject from the Pa triot .(• Union, to ho found in another column. What a revelation is this! It really appears that nearly every Radi cal who obtains office, goes to stealing at once; it seems to como natural to him. They have for many years been carrying on a bold game at the scat of government, and have stolen nearly every tiling except tile State House; and and if the people do not watch that, the “ loyal thieves” will tear down its pil lars and sell them to the stone-cutters. si'itnli'rT'.s tiii,u. John H. Surratt, the son of Mrs. Sur ratt, who was murdered by Radical outlaws, is now on trial before Court at Washington, on the charge of complici ty in the assassination of Abraham Lin coln, Thus far the testimony is decid edly against him, provided the witness es can be believed, for no less limn three of them testify Unit Surratt was iu Washington on the night of the mur der, aiid was seen in company with Booth in “an excited state.” These three witnesses, however, as it camp out on the cross-examination, are a trio of scupcgallowsos. One has been in prison for passing counterfeit money, one for horse-stealing, and the other for rape.— Ji was shown too that theSb three wor thies have been the boon companions of Conover, who is nowscrvingatcu years term in the penitentiary for perjury, and also .that they have recently had “ fve tfiient interviews with Congressman Ashley,” the miserable bipod who from his seat in the House preferred charges against President Johnson, and deman ded ids impeachment. This motion of Ashley’s cost the people over one hun dred thousand dollars, and should con sign its author to eternal infamy. Whether John H. Surratt is guilty of complicity In the murder of Mr. Lin coln, wc know not, but when the Gov ernment depends on outlaws and peni tentiary birds for evidence to make out its case, it is strong presumptive evi dence that lie is innocent. The evidence of these three villains has no appear ance of truth, but on the contrary looks like perjury from first to last.— Their stories do not seem probable or reasonable, and have evidently been made up for the occasion, and a price paid for 'the same. Mrs. Surratt was convicted on just sucli testimony, and one of tlie principal witnesses acknowl edged, after the execution of Mrs. S., that ho laid sworn to a lie on her trial, and had been paid for doing so. It is now almost universally believed • Unit Mrs. Surratt had no more to do with tlie murder of Mr. Lincoln tiiaij had “ the man in the moon.” To uso the words of Gen. Butler, “ she was an in nocent woman, and when she was hanged a murder was committed." In view of the fact then that John H. Surratt’s mother was' murdered by a set of Radical cut-tbroats, wo bopp to see him get a fair trial. If guilty he should be punished; if not guilty, ho should have an honorable acquittal. Let not his life be sworn away by counterfeiters, horse-thieves and libertines, who have been the companions of Conover and Ashley. If found guilty and hanged bn tlie testimony of sucli men, his execu tion, like that of his mother’s, will be pronounced a “murder.” LED nr UE»AfIO«VFJI. That the Rndical-ncgro-cquidity par ty is led and governed by unscrupulous and unprincipled demagogues, will bo admitted by any cqndld man. Who are the lenders in this State? Among tho most prominent are Cameron, Kelly, Forney, and little .lolin Cessna, of Red ford. Previous to the election of Lin coln, these beauties were Democrats, or protended to lie. Tho defeat of the Democratic party in 18G0, was a calamity not only to the party itself, hut to the country and tho people at large. It was the destruction of our Constitutional riyhls and our form of Government. If there ever was a time when firmness and integrity was neces sary in Democrats, it was at this time. Indeed, had they stood arm to arm and shoulder to shoulder, they might have, and we believe could have, averted tho desolating war which the Lincolnites had determined on. It was not until after the had men of the Radical faction had corrupted and bought up many leading Democrats, that they deter mined at all hazards to plunge the coun try into war. Tho Crittenden Compro mise, which was a fair, honorable and proper adjustment of all ourdifflculties, was rejected by Congress, notwithstand iugthopeoploof all thcStates, North and South, clamored for its adoption. The Radical destructives would not have dared reject this peace-offering,.had all Democrats refused their bribes and stood out boldly for the right. But, tho Camerons, Forneys, Kellys and scores of others who had acted with the Demo cratic party, instead of remaining true to their duty and their convictions, joined hands with tho conspirators, turned their hacks upon their former friends, and soop became leaders jn a party whose-principles and objects they despised in their hearts. At that time most of these hought-iip traitors wore poor—poor in purse ns well as in prin ciple. They were looking about for something to eat, and like famished buzzards could smell corruption afar off. The offers and inducements held out to them by the “ infernal abolition ists,” tempted them, and like Aciian, they stretched forth their bony fingers and clutched the wedge of gold. Judas betrayed his Master; these men be trayed their country. They are now rich,immonselyrich,everyone of them.. Tho Radicals were more than true to them, and permitted them to steal'the people’s money until there, was nothing more to steal. The Stripping of the White 'House, (imiriediateljr. after the death of Mr. Lincoln,) of its furniture, dishes, carpets, cutlery and window curtains, was about tho winding up of the business of the “loyal thieves,” their aiders and abotfflfe. And these are the men—these recre ant Democrats, but now rich Radicals — who are the loaders in the opposition ranks. How can the honest men of that party—the men who have been life-long opponents of tno Democratic party—how can they put up with the insolence and assumed airs of these bought-up converts? They are the greatest pack of demagogues and politi cal gamblers that ever cursed a country, and the Radicals know and admit this. They would forsake the Radicals in an hour, were but convinced that by so doing they could pile up addi tional wealth for themselves. Why will men then who are not interested in robbing the government of its means, continue to be led by these corrupt cor- morants— these carrion birds who gorge themselves on the people’s treas ure ? Let honest Republicans east their prejudices aside for a time, and scan the motives of the unprincipled creatures who assume to direct their‘party ma chinery, and wo think they will not fail to see that they are now and iiave been led by demagogues. Opposition Testimony In Favor of Jndgo Hlmrfm-ood. The Pittsburg Republic, a Republican journal, contains the following remarks upon the nomination of Judge Shars wood: “ This gentleman has received the no mination of tlie Democratic party for one of the first offices in the gift of the peo ple of our State. We do not enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance, but from all We Call gleiiu from our mutual friondo, mul other sources of information, the con vention could not have made it more un exceptionubleseleeUou. * The nomina tion of Shiirswood has given general satis faction, and It would give us much pleas ure to speak in tlie same strain in regard to tlie balance of die proceedings, winch may prove a liar to tlie success of the Ju dicialjpandldate.” ThePittsbnrg Gazzetle, one of the most Radical newspapers iu the State,speaks of our candidate in the following highly eulogistic terms: Junciß SiiAiiswoon.—ln nominating Judge flharswood as their candidate for tlie Supreme bench, the Democrats have made a wise selection for themselves dur ing tlie progress of the canvass, and for the people of the whole Commonwealth in case lie shall bo elected. He is as suit able a man for the place as they could have brought forward. Naturally of sound and discriminating judgment, his faculties have been matured by thorough study and large, varied experi ence. His reputation as a man is un blemished. Indeed, ho is a consistent and honored office-bearer iu tlie Presby terian Church. As a magistrate a sus picion of unfairness or partiality has never been raised against him. A gentleman so highly thought of by those who will most likely vote and use their influence against him hereafter, is certainly entitled to tlie popular confi dence of the people without regard to party lines. His Own Will Not Receive Him.— Tlie President of the United States ac cepted an invitation to visit Boston,and intended passing through Philadelphia; he did not intend to stop, and of course did not accept any ovation. The loyal leaguers, liowe ver, of tlieCoramon Coun cil, to inflict a premeditated insult, call ed a meeting, and by a formal vote re fused to extend hospitalities which were never asked. This may be considered very loyal and patriotic towards the Chief Mngistratetof the thirty'millions of people, but by no means creditable. •The New York Herald says a con viction is now working the minds of the people that the immense war debt was incurred, not to save the Union, but to save the radical party and get the ne gro’s vote for that party. There are now six hundred thousand men slaugh tered and three billions of debt created, •simply to build up a fanatical party, to ma.;e bad laws, and steal the public motley. Isaac Newton, Commissoner of Ag riculture, died at Washington City on the night of the I9th instant, of typhoid fever. He was in the 67th year of his age. OPENDTO oft TUB HEW LKDQEB niIILDINO. The new printing building of the Philadelphia Ledger was formally open ed on Thursday afternoon last, at 3 o’clock. The opening ceremonies were peculiarly interesting. About five hun dred gentlemen from different sections of the country, representing the editori al, legal, clerical, and other professions, were present. The building, which is situated at the southwest come ”of fith and Chestnut streets, is of granite, five stories in height, and throughout is fin ished with an eye to taste, elegance, comfort and convenience. It is, per haps, the finest newspaper office in the world. The guests were cordially re ceived and welcomed by George AV. Childs, Esq., proprietor, and by Will iam V. McKean, Esq., one of the edi tors of the Ledger. . As each one enter ed he was presented with a neatly print ed pamphlet, containing a description of,the new building, and also a fac simile copy of the first issue of the Public Ledg er, which bears date the 25th of March,' 1836. After a close inspection of the building from top to bottom, an infor mal meeting was held .in the splendid composing room on the fifth story., which was presided over by Hon Chas. Gilpin, who made a neat and appropri ate speech, and addresses were also made by Hon. Daniel M. Fox, and Wm. V. McKean, Esq. The banquet took place at the Conti nental Hotel, and we doubt whether a more sumptuous one has ever been giv en in the city of Philadelphia. The decorations of the banqueting hall, the tables profusely spread with tiie choic est and daintiest of dishes, the music by the celebrated Germania Orchestra, and the brilliant assemblage, all combined, made it a scene long to be remembered, At 51 the banquet commenced, and it was fully 9 before the last course on the bill of fare, beautifully printed on white satin, was reached. Then commenced in reality the “feast of reason and flow of soul.” Mayor McMichael presided, and Bishop Simpson invoked the Di vine blessing. The Mayor made one ol those capital after-dinner speeches for which he is noted, and was followed by Hpn, Joseph B. Chandler, Hon. John T. Hoffman, Mayor of New York city, Gen. George G. Meade, Attorney Gen eral Robeson of New Jersey, Hon. James Brooks of New York, Hon. Jo seph J. Stewart of Baltimore, Mons. Du Chailiu, the great African Explorer, Hon. William D. Kelley, Bov. Dr. Hall, of Dublin, Gen. Hiram Walbrldgc, ol New York, George H. Stuart, Esq., and William V. Mcliean, Esq. Take it all in all, it is questionable whether so much wit, ability, and eloquence was ever before assembled around the fes tive board in Philadelphia or any other city. It was near midnight when the festivities closed,and the company sepa rated with the warmest wishes for tin future health, happiness and prosperity of the generous host, who might not be inaptly termed the Napoleon ol the Pennsylvania press. The press of Pennsylvania was large ly represented on this interesting occa sion. Among the number present we noticed Gen. Davis of the Doylestown Democrat and his cotemporary, Mr. Darlington, of tho Doylestown Intelli gencer, Messrs. Smith, and Steinman ol the Lancaster Intelligencer , Mr. Geist ol the Lancaster Express, Messrs. Hiestand and Hartman of the Lancaster Exami /• er, and Mr. Sanderson of tho Reading Gazette. Messrs. Childs and McKean were assiduous in their attentions to the guests, and their kindness and courtesy can never be forgotten. The Dcmniids of the “ Coming- Man.” At a recent meeting or convention ol negroes of New Orleans, they adopted resolutions demanding of their white Radical a'lies a full proportion of offices according to their voting numbers, and equality, with the whites in everything —socially, civilly and politically. They also gave the Rump Congress a lesson in regard to its duty—declaring that the cotton tax must be repealed; that the destroyed levees must be rebuilt at Gov ernment expense, and that all sorts 01 property—Government bonds inclusive —must be taxed, &c. The uarnsDurg Patriot and Union thinks this is about right, and adds: •' It Is Urns apparent that the Louisiana darkles do not Intend to be led quietly by the nose (fl u ratlvely, not literally) by the Radical dema gogues. The New Orleans darkles are the most Intelligent and wealthiest in the country, in 1800 there were 18,407 free negroes In that Stale— •mostly In the city—some of whom were possessed of considerable real estate and property In slave**. 'J he aristocrat 9 darkies of New Orleans aclualti. owned nipoers. It Is not likely, therefore, that the colored nabobs will take kindly to the dictation of the poor Radical “ white trash” which Is sent clown from Yankee-land to manage them. Their link convention shows this. If, therefore, there is to be harmony In the Radical ranks of Louisi ana. the “ white herring” element will have to take a back seat and act only uiMer orders from the “superior race” of “eboablnS?’ “ Wo guess, however, the white Radical ele ment is equal lo the emergency. It never vei has failed to stoop, to cringe, to crawl—oven lb n nigger or a thieving army contractor-^when there was money to be made or an ofllce to got In five years, if “reconstruction” and negro-suf frage and equality go on, the negroes will have all that will then bo left of the Radical party completely under tho yoke, both In the South and .North. There can be no nelp for Jt, and there should bo none, whilst a rascally set of scamps sloop to conquer by selling their race and color.” The Mistake.— Many honest Radi cals think they aro elevating the negro by giving him the ballot. Instead of elevating the negro to the proper appre elation uf tho onurctl privilege, wo are degrading the ballot to the capacity of the negro. An eagle will hatch owls, but. cannot change, the grovelling instincts of its strafe progeny. UST Judge Shars wood’s nomination for the Supreme Bench has elicited the warmest commendation from nil parties in Pennsylvania. The Harrisburg Con vention did a good day’s work on the 11th instant, and the people will endorse its action by an overwhelming majority second Tuesday of next October. Th e lowa Bads have nominated Sam uel Morrill, of McGregor county, for Governor, and Colonel Scott, of Stony county, for Lieutenant Governor. The convention passed intense, high-pressure resolutions—negro suffrage being the principal plank of the platform. The President lias pardoned the “red handed traitor” Longstreet, upon the application of a number of Radical Rump Congressmen. Ho ought to be im peached for that. Why don’t he “ make treason odious” in the person of this promin nt “ rebel cut-throat?” Death of an Editor.— On the mor ning of the 12th inst., Col. Edward E. Roddy, the Editor of Gmius qf Liberty, the Democratic organ of Fayette Co., died of congestion of the brain. Col. Boddy was a native of Somerset county, and was just forty-three years old the day of his death. [From the Patriot * Union, Juno ZIJ ASTOUNMHG dUVEMPHESIS. Loyally on the" Hill lllu»trn«ctl. A few days since information was re-, cclvod by the chief of police that thieves wero at work in the attic of the capitol, where has been stored for want of room elsewhere, hundreds of valuable con gressional documents and books.of ref erence. Very often during the past few months, books have been missed, and though the thieves have not been de tected. yet strong suspicions have been excited against certain parties, who, in their good standing as members or the “God and morality party,” had obtained positions as clerks, messengers and “ hangers on” about the Hill. These ra pacious individuals had upon more than one occasion evinced a sortof hankering after the “ spoils” but they efcaped “ scot fieo" until yesterday. .The taxpayers of the Commonwealth, though overburden ed with taxes forced upon them, have no idea of the amount of plundering and pilfering which has taken place. The people of Harrisburg alone know what has become of the elegant carpets at the close of each session, the hundreds of old (!) desks, chairs and other furniture, which is constantly replaced, together with the “ laid aside” lumber, coal, wrap ping paper, ink, stationary, &c., &c.~ Never has there been a public sale of this debris since the Abolition party gained ascendency in the Commonwealth, and, we were informed yesterday, by a gen tleman who is presumed to be in the con fidence of the “ ring,” thaftho value of the material sold (waste paper, &c.,) amounts to over $2OO per week, and we have never beard of one dollar of that sum being accounted for to the State. A few days ago George H. Morgan, Esq., Assistant State Librarian, found a number of covers, torn from valuable works, in the attic of the Capitol, the covers remaining, but the body of the volumes had evidently been carried away. He atonceuotified offlcerCampbelll of the fact, and the Chief commenced in his tho« rough and indefatigable way, to search forthestolen books. Sevoralahopsknown to purchase waste paper, &o, wore visited, but nothing of the kind was found, until a visit was paid by the chief, with officers Osier and Black, to the paper warehouse of Mr. Abraham Rapp, in Short street, where was discovered tons of old waste paper, such as filed letters, pamphlets, &c., from the offices on the Hill; together with 180 volumes of the Adjutant Gen eral’s Report for 18G6, with the covers torn from them, and 200 volumes of the Statutes of the United States at large, with the Treaties with Foreign Nations,. &c., &c. These latter volumes were in unopened packages, having been receiv ed from tho Interior Department, Wash ington. D C.,only three days ago, ad dressed to “ The Governor of the State of Pennsylvania.” The Statutes arc pub lished by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass., at a heavy cost to theGovornraent, they being valued at $5 per volume. .But the above, though it would seem to have well recompensed any ordinary thieves, did not satiate the craving appetite of the pilferers on tho Hill. Several thousand copies of th.e Legislative Record , which, iccording to Mr. Bergrier, wero only de livered to tho Librarian of the Senate on Wednesday last, were found with tho plunder, as was also discovered a largo number of the reports of the Board of Claims, of the Military Department, of the Executive Office, and to cap the cli max. the “loyal pilferers” even sold to \lr. Rapp a number of mail bags belong ing to “ Uncle Sam!” Loyal men I with your loyalty pocket deep! Honest, vir tuous, upright men, philanthropic Chris tian gentlemen—adherents to the “God and morality” party, has it come to this? But, to return to “manipulations.”— Officer Campbell, upon- the information which he received, and after consulting with tho proper parties, arrested a.man styling himself “ Captain” A. J. Rupp, neasenger inthe Adjutant General's of fice, who has been known in thecommuni iy for some time pastes a loud-mouthed abolitionist, ever jprating.of loyalty and •‘grand moral ideas.” This is the Chris ian gentleman who is alleged to have “gobbled” tho one hundred and eighty volumes of the Adjutant General’s Re port. How long Rupp has been engaged In his dishonest peculations we are una ble to say, but we “ suspect” that ho has made an exceedingly good thing out of the merely ornamental position of mes senger of the Adjutant Ueneral’s Office. Mr. Abram Rapp,'tho paper dealer, at his hearing before the Mayor yesterday morning, stated that he bad purchased hooks, paper &c. from time to time of the man Rupp, of A. R. Sharp, who claims co be Assistant Superintendent of thg Capitol grounds, and of two young men connected with the House of Represents, tives named William Cooper and Albert Cooper. All of the above parties were before the Mayor yesterday, as was also vVilllam J. Xjucas, Thomas Numbers, and William Styers, who are employed in dif ferent departments upon the hill. . Rupp; ind Sharp entered bail In the sum SGUO each, to answer the charge of larceny‘at court, and the brothers Cooper, were ball ad by John A. Smuil fora further hear ing this (Samrday) morning at 10 o’clock. Lucas, Numbers and Styers, were bound over to appear at Court and testify in' the ■•osya*- while Mr. Abram Rapp, the paper lealer, entered bail in the sum of §lOOO, for his appearance at court to answer .the charge of receiving stolen goods. The police are making every effort to ‘ferret out further particulars of the trans lations of the thieves, and we expect to learof furtherdevelopments iu the course >f a few days. We need not continue, as wo could at length, to recapitulate the jperationsof the “cormorants” who have infested the hill as “ blood suckers” during the past few'.years, but we would remark chat justice demands.that there shall be 00 hushing up of this matter—but that each and every party implicated shall mswer at court, and if found guilty, let the Jaw be vindicated, and sentence giv '*n to such an extent, as will servo to break up the nebarious and villainous pecula tions, which have so detracted from the fume or our'Slute Government, and dis graced tho workings of our State Legis lature. ° We will simply add, that the thanks of the people of this city, and, in fact, of the. Commonwealth, are due to the Chief of Police, Bernard Campbell, and officers Osier and Black, for tho arrests made, and for tho prompt discovery of facts, which, we hope, will eventually lead to the punishment of the guilty parties. DesthuctiveFike and Lossof Life.— Fox’s American Theatre, on Walnut St., above Eighth, Philadelphia, formerly known as Welsh’s National Circus, was totally destroyed by lire about half-past nine o’clock on Wednesday night. The lire originated in tho stable, and for near ly fifteen minutes, while it was raging, the performance went on, and tho audi ence was undisturbed. The smoko finally issued from behind the scenery, and then the people rushed out of the building.— Much of the surrounding property on Eighth and Sausom streets was seriously, damaged. Nino firemen were kilecT and twenty seriously injured by the fallingof the front wall of the Theatre. Four of the wounded have since died. “ Blessed be the Man who first In vented Sleep,” quoth Sanch Panza.— Sleep has often been “ murdered” not in Macbeth’s case only, but in many modern instances, by Indigestion, Nervous Dis orders, Headache and a host of other complaints.

The Coroner’s jury found a verdict that the wounds were inflicted by some person un known. He was at the works on Monday, and as he had money at the time there seems to be no doubt he. was murdered, . [For tlio Volunteer. HEPni>SENTATTVE JLOVAI/TT, Many words now,in use have complete- . ly lost their radical'i meaning. Thus vil- Item has now, in popular acceptation, a , more unhealthy signification than iu its ancient usage, and Jti is well that lexicon grnphers notice this departure from early custom. We, therefore, await for the next edition of Worcester or Webster to define loyalty and give its present nomen clature, as represented by those who now sb boisterously adapt it to themselves as an index of their faith. It might add, in * an italicized note, its legitimate synonym —radicalism, for to bo .radical is. to bo loyal, and to be loyal is to grow suddenly rich . We would, therefore, suggest this, that bur youth may upon future exami nation days recite, with a fervid scholas tic twang, the general acceptation of the word during the .reign of the “ American Rump.” . The people have ceased to bo astounded at enormous frauds, the immensity of contractors’ peculations and paymasters’ defalcations, because of their frequency. These multiplex announcements pass by without a ripple on the surface of repre sentative loyalty. Second degree pecula tion rarely sees daylight. It requires a thousand or a quarter million operation to form a local news item. However, on Saturday, some disclosures of a lesser magnitude were made at the Capital of our State, which may grow and bear good fruit by proper ventilation, and christen our worn with its justly earned transla tion. • Two brothers, named Cooper, have been arrested at the Capital, charged with the larceny of a largo number of Auditor General’s Reports, Legislative. Records and United States Statutes. .These Coo pers have been under tho employ of one Small, the resident clerk of the House, and are two representatives of the loyal regime. During the investigation three shining galaxy, Bergner, Forney and Russel, while others of lesser magnitude „were invited to shed their light. Forney, the amanuensis of the in corruptible Hessian,states “ that during his term of office as State Librarian, books had been repeatedly stolen from the office, that tho thieving had been go ing on for some time, that he placed a padlock on the door of the attic, which was soon broken, off, and that the circum stances left the impression on his miud that parties might bo stealing books.' 1 —; Good God! deliver us from these loyal officials. Loyal to their governmentand loyal to each other. This man’s (Forney) conscience be loyally sensitive.— Conscious that his brethren in the League must be aided, he falls to recognize a crime and permits a continuance without a semblance of investigation or attempt at detection. He is the individual who obtains his dally supply of political diet from the owner of “my two papers, both daily,” J. W. Forney, whose leaders the minor journals delight to rehash for the digestion of Greeley’s blockheads, and frhoae political faith blazon’s forth in the voluble harangues of the lay members of the representative loyalty. Leaving For ney to his guardian care of State deposits, let us look at the immaculate Hessian, the printer of the Legislative Records , os tensibly, as we now find out, for members during the daily sessions of the House.- but quietly to bo plunder proilta /<>r all hands, from the printer, witn his fat con tract, down to the bumble man who aids the U. 8. revenue by his commerce in : waste paper at five cents a pound, which was the price the parties obtain«4-for re ports—minus their* backs—costing two dollars and tweuty-five cents each. He says, “the Records found were partly furnished ten days ago, aud partly, delivered oh the 19 th of'June!" —three, months afteradjournraent, In the name of Heaven what have we yet to know of , corruption? In what department of Go-: ' vernment does it uqt obtain? Avery useful diary these Records were to every member in his daily legislative capacity. We have long been advertising the cor ruption of the,last Legislature; wo are now inclined to think it irresponsible, in ’ asmuch as the always unique proceedings of one day was not punctually recorded for the use of tho next, on account of this Hessian’s dilatory loyalty. The effect of such investigations will be to convince thousands of honest men, whose minds have been made murky by the loud professions of loyalty, that tnqre is a positive necessity for cleansing the Augean stables around Capitol Hill. It is not necessary to drink the whole ocean to discover the water brackish; nor is it necessary to dully with some of these thievish official attaches to discover the bond of cohesion which keeps the party together. We should like to see the ar raignment of these Coopers et id omne genus, with their loyal virtues‘discussed in every hamlet and district in the State. We fear not the ia«ue. Before the next election the adoption of the word loyalty may be secured, and representative loy alty read the hand-writing on the wall, Mono Tckel Upharsin ! *** YANKEE I.OVE FOB TUE KEOKOES. New England has shown her love for the negro in different ways all through her history. She was first in the field In the enterprise of importing negroes to this country and selling them for slaves. She made a good thing out of the slave trade until it was abolished by Constitu tional enactment. Besides, she kept ne groes for her own use as long as aim found their labor profitable. During the late civl war wheh drafts of white men were ordered, Now England, and Massachu setts especially, with characteristic pru dence and foresight, took very good care not to let her own sons volunteer or be drafted, and be exposed , to danger and death in the camp and on the battlefield. With commendable energy she sat to work in the enterprise of buying up ne groe recruits to fill out her quotas of troops. In this, as usually iu other cases where .Sambo was concerned, she was foremost in the race, and distanced all competitors. She sent her agents into Pennsylvania, Ohio and the West, and into Kentucky, Tennessee and other Southern States; to hire, buy, bribe or steal and run off negroes at any rate, to get them in some way; no matter how, to nil her deficient quotas; and save her white stav-at-homes from the draft. As in negro stealing from Africa, so in this buying up and running off negroes for slaughter on tho battle-field, she was very successful. What will be the next move of New England philanthropy toward the negro is yet to be made manifest. That it will be one of great gain to her we'may safely predict. She seldom moves in any direc tion without a motive, and that a solid one. The Radicals are likely to be soon sadly in want of votes in certain locali ties. They must be had at any cost and at all hazards. No doubt tho Radical Committees and' Loyal Leagues, with such fellows as Forney, Kelley and Stev ens at their head, will pay liberally for recruits, black and white, though the ■former would probably be preferred to supply deficiencies. It is therefore sug gested that New England, that haaal ways an eye on the “ main chance,” may enlist in tins enterdrise, and import negro voters from localities where there is a surplus or even from Africa, to the places’where they may be most needed to carry elec tions in favor of the Radical party— Reading Oascttcc, . , The Fate op Maximilian.— The fate of the deposed Emperor of Mexico, is shrouded in uncertainty. The New York Tribune thinks it not improbable that he has been two weeks in his grave. The advices from Mexico relative to his al leged trial are conflicting. Prom one quarter we learn that the trial "hod been postponed till the 4th inst., while from others we have information that it was concluded on the night of the 3d inst:, and the Emperor sentenced to be execu ted on the following morning. It is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, and the interests of Republicanism in Mexico and elsewhere, that the first report is the correct one, and tllrit the fallen Empe ror’s Ufe.may.be spared. His death could serve no purpose but ignoble revenge.
