IN A, SURVEYOR, JOHN C. ECKELS, OP SILVER SPRING. AENATORIA t>. By reference to the proceedings of the Democratic Senatorial Conferees repre senting this (the 19th) Senatorial Dis trict, it will he seen that our respected townsman, Heney K. Pepfeb, was unanimously nominated for State Sen ator on Saturday last. We feei satisfied that Hie Democu.ts of Cumberland and Franklin will feel a relief that this long contest is ended, and that a result has been reached which gives general satisfaction to both coun ties. Asonoof the Conferees, we felt a heavy and exceedingly unpleasant responsibility resting upon us, and this feeling was shared by all the members of the conference. After having hal , loted more than one hundred times, and been in session, off and on, for six long weeks, many of the sessions lasting beyond midnight, the proposition, of settlement which brought about a nom ination, was unanimously agreed upon by Hie Conference, and heartily endors ed 1 y the two candidates for Senator, Me 1 -- s Poffer and Duncan. This mode of sorclement may strike some as novel, and xii is true that it has never been re sorted to in this section of our State, but yet it is a fair, legitimate and honorable mode of putting an uua to u atsputo bo- tween friends, and has been frequently ado ded in several of our western Coun ties. The dispute between the Conferees was not concerning the candidates, but it was this—“ which county is entitled to'tl e first nomination in the new dis trict; which county should have pre- cedence?” The Cumberland conferees contended for Cumberland, the Frank lin conferees for Franklin, During all the discussions no unkind word was uttered against either candidate before us, but both were spoken of with much tesf ect and kindness. The mode of settlement having been agreed upon, the names of fourteen prominent Democrats residing outside the Distriot, who had no knowledge of our difficulty, and whoso names wore purposely withheld from thecandidatcs, were selected by tho conferees —seven by the Franklin men and seven by the Cumberland men. These fourteen names were placed in a hat and the hat well shaken, and then three names were drawn from tho hat by one of the conferees who had been blind-folded. Tbeso names were William M. BresUn, Esq., and Dr. Gloningor, of Lebanon and. Major John Brady, of Harrisburg, ''bese three gentlemen wore imme iately notified of their selection, and equested to attend a meeting of the onferees at the Bolton House, Harris burg, at 1 o’clock, on Saturday. They -It .complied, and the meeting of the onferees with the referees present, took place at tho hour and place named. Vir. Welsh, on behalf of Franklin, do it voted a very able address in advocacy >f the claims of his county. He was fol lowed and answered by J.B. Bratton,in behalf of Cumberland. Short speeches woro also made by Messrs Harasher and Cormany, of Franklin, and uorgas and Hostetter, of Cumberland. Tho con ferees then withdrew and submitted the question at issue to Ibe unbiased judgment of the throe rofo rocs who had so patiently listened to Hie arguments presented. The referees, after a private consultation of about three quarters of an hour, wrote out a report giving it as their unanimous opinion that Cumbor kmd’liounty was entitled to the nomi nation for Senator in the new district. The long dispute was ended—ended in an-honorable and magnanimous man ner. The referees then adjourned, and the conferees re-asscmblcd. After the report of the referees had been read, on motion of Mr. Hamsher, of Franklin, seconded by Mr. Welsh, of tiio same county, Henry K. Prefer was de clared the nominee for Senator by ac clamation. The Conference then ad jou led sine < We have I tins given what weconoeiyo to ho a succinct account of the proceed ings of the last two meetings of the conferees of this Senatorial district. W o may say in conclusion that notwith standing the vexatious and protracted struggle, no unkind word was at any of the meetings, and the con ferees from Cumberland will long hold in pleasant remembrance tb "cntlo mnnly demeanor of the three . on forces ■who represented Franklin. Should the Xlopublicans succeed in electing a majority of members to the nAct Legislature, they will refuse to prosecute the thieves who have been robbing the State Treasury, on the ground that an exposure would injure Hie Republican parly. Lot all wbo.de siro to see’justice meted out to corrupt officials vote for-Messrs Prefer and Williams. Ton BCYATOR, HEART- I£, PEFFER, OUR TICKET COMPLETE. Tho unanimous nominntiqn of Henry K. Poffer, Esq., for Senator, completes our ticket, anil ns there is no time to be lost, every man who considers himself n Democrat and opposed to Radical plunderers, should go to work at once and in earnest to secure tho triumph oi the entire ticket. Tho result of tho election in Pennsylvania this fall will have an Important bcar/ng upon tho great, contest nest year, and this fact of itself, in the absence of all others, should induce Democrats to stand shoulder to shoulder for tho Slide and county tick ets. -That our ticket is a,good one, from top to bottom, will not be denied oven by. fair Republicans. Indeed, the men composing it are urihnptached and un -iroPßashnbleJ,!vtlmh--pw tical characters, and. all are admirably qualified for tho positions for which they have been named. All that is wanting to elect the entire ticket by a majority of eight or' ten hundred, is union and harmony, perseverance and WORK. Our candidate for State Senator, H. K. Poffer, is so well known to tho people of this county, that we feel it almost unnecessary to say much concerning him. He is a self made man, was born and raised in South Middleton town ship, and has always borne the character of an honorable and upright Christian gentleman. Always a Democrat from principle, he has never failed to dis charge his whole duty to his party, nor to express his views without regard to consequences to himself personally. A man of well-poised mind, ah able de bater and hard worker, lie will occupy a prominent position in the Senate, and will be a most valuable member of that body. That crafty and unprincipled Repub licans, in and out of this district, will attempt to corrupt the people with mo ney, iu the hope of making votes for Mr. Weakley, the Radical nominee for Senator, is very certain. We have it from good authority that a largo amount of the money stolen by the Radical embezzeler, Rvans, was reserved as a corruption fund, and that a considerable portion of this fund is to be distributed in this district in the interest of Mr. Weakley. Of late years the Radicals rely almost entirely on the power of money to accomplish their nefarious purposes. With the wily anti-unprin cipled Cameron as their leader, they go into a contest with stolen money in their hands to buy up the venal and corrupt. They “stoop to conquer,” and on the eve of every election they flatter and cajole and ply with money the very men they recently denounced as “copperheads and traitors.” Democrats! he on your guard. Be up and doing, and spurn as you would a scorpion, the corrupt advances of the men who have forced the people, at the point of tho bayonet, to submit to negro equality. Stand fast to your principles —fight as one man for ■, R whole ticket —and bn the evening of tho 10th of Oc tober wo will rejoice together over our victory. n. r. JiwKis, The Harrisburg Patriot , of Friday last, contains tho following remarks on tho aspirations of too windy Junkinfor the Judgeship of this judicial district: “ Tbo frisky B. F. Junkin, of New Bloomfield, is traveling all over his judi cial district, making appeals to,tbe Repub licans to vote for him on party grounds, and to the Democrats to vote against Judge Graham on account of his age.— Judge Graham is mentally and physically by far the more robust man of. the two. That Junuin lias a proper appreciation of the judicial office,is shown by the Perry County Democrat in the fact that he waa a member of the radical State Convention of 1807 which nominated Mr. Henry W. Williams and supported tho following resolution : Resolved, That warned by such mislor luaca, jug ask that the Supreme Court of the State be placed in •harmony with the political opinions of - a majority of the people. Juuklu haa one claim to the confidence and support of tho liberal men of bis judicial district, which should not, bo overlooked. When llso storm of Know Nothing fury and bigotry swept over the country, he was the first to avail himself of it in order to ride into a seat in Con gress. Tin’s Know Nothing representative now modestly asks the Democrats and other liberal citizens of Cumberland, Perry and Juniata to elect him President Judge over a man of tho legal ability, experience and political consistency of Judge Graham.” YORK A.VII AIIA.IIS Tho Democratic conferees of tho York autt Adams Senatorial District mot at Planover Junction on Monday last* A letter of declination was read from Col. Glatz, the nominee of York county, and tho conferees at once nominated Hon, William McSherry, of Adams, for Sen ator. This nomination closes up the Democratic column. The calculations of- the ring that a' split in York and Adams and in Cumberland and Frank lin, would give them the control of the Senate, are utterly destroyed. They have no prospect elsewhere, and the Senate may bn regarded as entirely safe, since the utmost harmony on the nom inations has been produced in both dis tricts. This confidence, however, should cause no relaxation of exertion or in terest in the canvass. On a full vote depends the success of the State ticket. Register '.—Saturday next, the 30th, is tho last day to register, after which the books will be closed, and our party friends whose names have been omitted will have themselves to blame. See to it, then, Democrats, that your names are upon the Registry lists. Every darkey in tho county who is old enough and black enough to vote lias his name registered, while there are many white men whoso names are not upon the lists. Will some of the negligent toll us why it is tii us?. ttSfDomocrats of Cumberland ! Pre pare for the second Tuesday of October. Tho Radical leaders will leave nothing undone to cary their ticket. Turn out to a man, and by .voting the whole Democraticlieket.and nothing but that, defeat the Radical and negro combi nation. A vote for McUandless and Cooper is a vote to purge two very important branches of the Stato ( Government of thieves like Evans and Ids hackers.— Let us place honest and competent men in office, and thus bring back our State Government to the purity and honesty which were its characteristics in the good old days of Simon Snyder. A vote for the Democratic ticket is a rebuke of tho nepotism that gives the public patronage to the President’s family as long as one is lound to be put ntn office. IKFbIUUTIn.V WANTED. “ Does tho Volunteer need any other information concerning missing funds ?” ~Carlislc Herald. Yes, while you are at it, you may as well toil us what became of the $300,000 filched by Qov. Geary’s special agent Evans, from tho State treasury. Being Deputy Secretary of theComraonwealth, you aro doubtless ns familiar with the management of tho State treasury as you are with national finances. I You miglit also give your views as to (lie exped'oncy of having- n member of tho Geary administration elected to the Senate from this district, in >tho event of an investigation into the Evans swiu . -die, or an impeachment of the Governor for complicity with the robbery. You miglit also explain why Evans was not arrested when he was within • lliehiiLiit.i.of Hun Stale of-X’cmisyivailiu, but was permitted to escape into another State, and probably out of thefccountry, before a warrant was issued for his ar rest. When the Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth announced in the columns of th,e Herald that “ every of ficer connected with the government was performing his full duty in the matter,” was it for the purpose of al laying public apprehension until the thief had escaped the clutches of the law? Was it in the performance of “ his full duty ” that Governor Geary demanded the dismissal of Mr. M’Clure,. the individual who first exposed these gigantic frauds? It is a satisfaction to know that Mr.'Weakley is so well pleas ed with “ the honest determination to protect the interests of the Common wealth” manifested by Gov. Geary, and Auditor General Hartranft, and Treas urer Mackey, and Attorney General Brewster;' but we have some doubts whether the people of this Senatorial district aro so delighted with this rob bery; and the subsequent escape of the thief, that they would bo willing to send a member of tho same “ ring” to the Senate, to investigate the very rascali ty he has so assiduously endeavored to hush up. If tliere Is any sincerity in the clamor the Carlisle Herald and oth er Radical papers raise about the New' York frauds, and the necessity of a thorough investigation Into the vil lainy; andif -the same rule of justice is to hold in Pennsylvania as in New York, then Mr. James M. Weakley, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth under Governor Geary, ought to be beaten by two thousand majority. IlltINO OUT THE VOTE I It is universally acknowledged by intelligent persons in this State, that if the Democracy can poll a full vote .at the coming election, the success of the Democratic candidates is assured; for there are thousands of honest Republi cans who are determined not to be the slaves of tho corrupt Grant-Cameron ring, that small but firmly united clique of schemers whose only incentive to action is the hope of plunder. Since 18G0 the Radicals have had all the as sistance that could be afforded by the influence and patronage of both the State and the Federal Governments, yet they have continually lost ground, and to-day the two parties in Pennsylvania are so evenly balanced that the Repub lican leaders fear the result, and are mustering their well organized forces for a ipighty effort at the polls. They imagined that the city of Philadelphia was secured'by the passage of their in famous election law, but such is tho popularity of Gen. McCandless and the well known citizens nominated for city offices, that they dread a rout even in their own chosen stronghold, and to lose Philadelphia is to lose the State, under prdinary circumstances. Tlie signs are cheering for a complete Democratic victory. Whether we win or not will depend upon the Democrats themselves. If they all work and vote, and induce others to do the same, Penn sylvania will he redeemed from' the oppressive and expensive rule of the Radical Cameron clique, and the elec tion of the Democratic candidate for tho Presidency in 1872 will be certain.—, Pennsylvania is really Democratici-her past record proves it. Let the Democ racy poll a full vote and tho victory will ho ours .' Up, Democrats, and he doing! Let us all use our best efforts to give a heavy majority forMcCandleas, Cooper, and tho whole Democratic ticket, from top to bottom. Democrats, Attend to It.— Every Democrat must be on the look out and see that on tiie second Tuesday of Octo ber there is not a single Democratic vote absent. See that every Democratic voter is legally assessed. See that no Democrat fails, through neglect, to get his naturalization papers. See that no Democratic vote is lost for want of pay ment ol taxes. See that no Democratic voter makes any business or pleasure engagement which* may take him from the election polls on Tuesday the 10th of October, See to all this, and you will then have done your share in increasing the glorious majority wo will roll-up oh that day. Action! Action 11 Actionl!!—Ac tion is the motto for the gallant Democ racy of old Mother Cumberland. It has secured victory in the past, and it will give us success in tho future. There fore, again lot us urge every Democratic citizen in the county to gird on his ar mor, stand firm atliispost, and engage in the conflict with the settled determi- nation to place the Democratic majority at 900. Do this, and we will insure a glorious victory in the State. Men of action, do your duty I Go to work in earnest, and work unceasingly from this time until tho election. Remem ber, that eternal vigilance is (lie price of liberty ’. jJSTWIiy should workingmen support tho Radical party ? What has that or ganization done for them save increased their burdens ? At the present time one day’s work is taken from eacli la boring man to pay his taxes, to feed the Treasury, in order that tho hordes of Radical office holders may grow rich upon his toil. Taxes are enormous un der the Radical administration. Tho necessaries of life are taxed the highest’ and It will invariably prove true, if the matter is looked into, that tho money comes out of t)io pockets of those who can least afford to pay it.

Tbe conference, met according to ad journment at the Merchant's Hotel, in Meohauickburg, bn September 18th, at 4 o'clock, P. M.—all the members being present. Several ballots having been bad, and no choice resulting, Mr. Welsh presented the following resolution, which was held under consideration until Tuesday morn ing, at which time, on motion of Mr. Hamsher for its adoption, It was not agreed to : Whereas, The sessions of this confer ence have become so protracted as to en danger the interests of the Democratic party id this Senatorial District, as well as to jeopardize the suc.cess of our Legis lative and county tickets in tbe counties composing it; and whereas, the only difference among tbe conferees Is upon the _qncPtion oj the precedence of the ebun ties in their claim s Tor the' no mi ii a-"" tion of their respective candidates, there fore. Resolved, That said question of pre cedence bo decided by lot in the presence of the conference and tbe candidates, and no otbdr person j that each of tbe candi dates shall choose from his conferees one person; that tbe two persons so chosen shall draw lots in such manner os may be agreed upon by the conference, and that upon the decision of the said question of precedence, tbe conferees of the county allotted such precedence shall have tbe privilege of naming the candi date, who shall be so proclaimed by acclamation. Mr, Bratton then called Mr. Gorgas to the chair, and offered the following res olution : “Seaolved, That the question of prece dence between the counties, be referred to the decision of three intelligent and disinterested Democrats residing outside of the district, (to be chosen by this con ference,) upon whose decision the candi date of the county in favor of which said decision shall be given, shall be un animously nominated by this confer ence.” The resolution wag not agreed to. Mr. Htunsher then offered tho foilow ng: "Seaolved, That the two candidates before tills conference be requested to give their consent in writing to relieve their respective conferees from all furth er obligation to support their" claims for nomination at or before 12 o'clock, M., to-morrow,” which resolution was unan imously adopted, and the conference took a recess until Wednesday, the 20th inst., at 12 o’clock, M., at which time the following agreement was presented, read, accepted, and ordered to be placed upon the minutes: “ Mecbanicaburg, Sept. 18, 1871, We hereby agree to relieve our reaped- tive conferees from ail further obligation to support our respective claims for nom ination for candidate for Senator, of the 19th Senatorial District. O. M. Duncan, (Signed) Henry K. Peffer." After a number of ballots were had, Mr. Hamsber withdrew the name of .C. M. Duncan, and nominated W. 8. Steu ger, of Franklin. Eight ballots were had,' without a choice. The con ference then took a recess until 9, A. M., on Thursday, the 21st, inst.; at which time, on motion of Mr) Hamsher, it was agreed that the conference should adjourn sine die at 2 o’clock, P. M. Mr. Hamsher then withdrew the name of Mr. Stenger, and nominated William MoLellan, Esq., of Franklin, after which four ballots were taken without resulting in a choice. Mr, Gorges then moved a re-considera tion of Mr. Bratton’s resolution, which was agreed to, and the resolution unan imously adopted. The conference thou proceeded to the selection of the referees, as provided in the resolution, and the following named gentlemen were chosen, viz : —Major John Brady, of Harrisburg, and Drr O. D. Gloniuger aud Wm. M. Breslin, of Lebanon. , The resolution to adjourn nine die at 2 P. M., was then re-considered and with drawn. Mr. Germany then re-nominated Hon C. M. Duncan.

W. .Welsh, {Secretary. [From tho Perry Co. Democrat.) JUDGE GRAHAM. For President Judge we have Hon. James H. Graham, than whom there is no abler, purer, upright jurist in the Commonwealth. For twenty years he bus administered the law with justice and impartiality. His is an unspotted life, and no judicial act of his long and faithful term on the Bench is tainted with a breath of suspicion oi intentional unfairness. There is no good reason why bis services should not be retained for another term. He la still In the vigor of health, with all his faculties strength ened instead of being impaired by time and experience. He will be GX years of age on the 15th Inst. We regard him as on extraordinary man. With what un varying Judgment and precision has he grasped the spirit-rthe true intent and meaning of the laws of the land; with what a steady band has he held the scales of Justice in determining the “ rights of persons” and 11 the rights of things." He is “ the right man in the right place,” and the people of this Ju dicial district would do violence to themselves by rejecting one who has proved himself to be so aafe a custodian of the law, It would be a foolish net.— Hold fast to that which la good. The put ting of an untried man upon the Bench is an important and serious matter- It is unlike any other duty devojvlng upon the people. A man may be a very good lawyer and still make a very unsafe and inefficient President Judge. You want one not only well versed in the law, but one who knows himself, firm, stable, and one who can divest himself of every manner of prejudice or personal feeling in the trial of causes brought before him. Such men are taro. In Judge Graham you have that man. You cannot iu jus tice to yourselves dispense with his ser vices. You cannot fully supply his place. The Democracy, of York and Adams, hav ing such a Judge in the person of Hon. Robert J. Fisher, who has also served them two terms, have again placed him in nomination and will, of course, reelect him. Judge Graham will carry every county in this district, the twaddle of piratical papers to the contrary notwith standing- jgy-Democrats, ask your Republican neighbors whether they approve of the “ big steals” coming to light nearly everyday, and if they do not, got them to tell you why they continue to act with the party whose leaders are rob bing tho National and State treasuries. If they are honestly opposed to official corruption they will join you in the ef fort now making to stop these Radical rascalities. flor.p Closed in tho cities at $1 111 [From the Harrisburg Patriot, Sept. 25. J ccMnr.nr.ANn and franui.in. The differences among the Democrats of the Cumberland and Franklin Sena torial district have been adjusted by the nomination of Henry K. Peffer, of Car lisle. In a spirit of friendly compromise the question of precedence between the two counties was referred to William B. Breailnand 0. D. Gloniuger, of Lebanon, and John Brady, of Dauphin, who met in Harrisburg on Saturday and decided in favor of Cumberland county. Where upon Mr. Peffer was unanimously nomi nated for Senator by the conferees. Tills dispute has been watched with tbe great est Interest, and the tidings of its settle ment will be received with gratification by the Democrats throughout the State, while tbe hopes of regaluing in the Sen ate in which the Caraoroh ring has been indulging for some time, will be consid erably diminished. Mr. Peffer is a sterl ing Democrat, and possess the esteem and confidence of all who know him. He is entitled to, and will doubtless receive the entire Democratic,vote of His district. Anticipating trouble among the Dem ocrats of this district the Radicals a week orlwo’ago nominated J. M. Weakley, of Carlisle, for Senator. Mr. Weakley is ed itor of the Carlisle Herald, and, at pres ent, deputy secretary of the Common wealth. This office Is an easy sinecure, alfordlngagood salary and unlimited free dom of the rail roads, and the management of the newspaper does not seem to inter fere with the leisure of Its possessor. Mr. W- isa harmless sort of ayounggentieman who is incapable of much good, but might do a deal of barm in the Legislature. His nomination may be regarded as a tacit com promise between the Radical factions, neither of whom entertain much hope of his election. Coming from the State ad ministration, and representing the wishes of Gov. Geary, be would, of course, oppose with what strength he possesses any in vestigations of the Evans embezzlement next session. The history of that affair has been carefully excluded from the col umns of the Carlisle Herald, The Cam eron ring could well afford to assist in the election of Mr. Weakley, on the other hand. What they want is control of the next Legislature, and continued posses sion of the State treasury. Mr. Weak ley’s election would contribute as effec tively to this result as that of any other Republican member of tbe State. He is not made of the material to resist the dictates of a caucus. On the’whole, then, the election of J. M. Weakley is desirable to both of the rival factions of thlfrState, and they will make a desperale etlurt to elect him. He would serve Governor Geary in the Evans business, on the one band, and on the other would help the treasury ring to make up their coveted majority. Both factions will not begrudge all the money and exertions that may be'needed to elect him, as both would be benefltted in different degrees. These considerations should not be without their effect on the Democrats ot Franklin arid Cumberland. The loss of the district would endanger the State Senate, and might .determine the political majority in the next Legis lature. There, is a Democratic majority of more than a thousand votes in the dis trict. On Congress last year the majority was 971 in the two counties, with the en tire negro vote thrown for the Radicals. This is the Democratic strength which Mr, Weakley must overcome- Nothing but inexcusable negligence on the part of the Democrats can throw awav the dis trict. B®*The reason why the Radical lead ers are so anxious to elect Dr. Stanton Auditor General is apparent, when it is known that through his hands must pass all the corrupt and swindling bills like the Evans swindle. If Gen. Mc- Candless is elected, the Democracy will place a guard over the State Treasury, and all the robbing, plundering schemes will have to pass under his observation before they are settled. Ho will be in a position then to head- them off and choke the leeches. No wonder, then, that Evans, Cameron and all the other vampires who live and thrive by gorg ing themselves with State plunder want Gen. McCandless defeated. Hiselection would be the death knell to their raids on the Treasury. . Still Swinging Around the Cir cle. —The watering season and races having terminated at Long Branch, — Grant is again on his travels, in oom- his aid, the veritable Gener al Porter. At last accounts he was at Covington, Ohio. Where he will go next it is not stated, In the mean time tho Government is in the hands of clerks; and embezzlements, to enor mous amounts occur daily. So we go. Constitutional Convention.—The question of a Constitutional Convention will be submitted to the people at this election. The ticket is to be “Constitu tional Convention,” and beneath this must be placed, “For a Convention,” or “ Against a Convention,” as the voter desires. This ticket goes upon the tick et headed or endorsed “State.” The radical loss in Maine since 18G8, is over 15,000. At the Info election the democrats gained a number of members of the Legislature, and hold the radical majority down to about 10,000. In 1808 it was 2G,98G. Well done, Maine ! Ip every Democratic vote is polled in Pennsylvania, this fall, McCandless and Cooper will be elected by from 25,000 to 30,000 majority. Then let every Demo crat go to the polls. The territory of Wyoming is . re turning to its Demo ratio first love.— Last year it went astray and chose a Radical delegate to Congress. This year tho Democrats have a majority In tho popular branch of the Legislature. New Mexico and Colorado have gone Radical as they have done for years. The Dem ocrats have not troubled *themseives about the result of the territories, pre ferring to fight the battle in tho States. ' Heavy Post office Defalcation in New York.—Tho New York Sun of the 13th announces the discovery of a great “post office fraud" in that city, in which a man named Norton, a prom inent officer, is made to figure to the tune of $150,000, which he is said to have sunk in the usual way in Wall street stock gambling. Norton is de scribed ns being tho owner of valuable property in Jersey, where he resides.— Among other things ho has sported a $lO,OOO race horse. Ho was arrested at his home ; and his property, including the horse, seized, but tho Sun adds that he compounded with the government, however, and resigned his position.— A dispatch received from Now York last night refers to the case, and says that tho money was drawn from the treasury ostensibly for the use of the Post-oflice Department, from time to time during the last two years, and that the whole “ defalcation” will reach $115,000. Tho dispatch adds that ”to make restitution Norton surrendered his whole property to tho authorities, Including a fine estate at Plainfield, N. J,, several valuable houses and a large farm. As the value of the real estate .alone is more that sufficient to cover the defalcation, no process was issued against him, and it is not likely he will bo prosecuted. Another officer in the post office, named Moon, for 25 years a clerk, has been arrested and held to bail in $lO,OOO for purloining money from letters. Bcto SUftcrttecmcnts.' QUMBERLAND VALLEY R.
