The editors of the Dnovillo Intelli gencer and Lancaster Express bad bet ter take care bow they assail Presi dent Grant's guardian angel Jim Duffy. This man, who can neither read nor write, has more influence with tho President than any fivo men in the Union. Ho eats and sleeps : with liim ho nurses "tbo Govern ment" when drunk, and travels witb it, wbeo it leaves Long Branch to bury its relations, and kcops the Govern ment's tiino'at horse races, and baits its book on fluting excursions; be wit nesses Um title papors in the purchase of gold minos and other real estato, and uncorks its rum boltlos. Such, in short, is tho occupation of "Jim Duffy, of Marietta. Tho Senator from Montour has drawn this fishy debate nut of as and is therefore responsible. Another Great Robber. Ono of Henry Ward Bocchor's church mombers, named Mills, who was tho President of a Brooklyn sav ings bank, has dofrauded tho widows and orphans of that city out of near ly halt A million of dollars. Whoa he discovered that bis accounts wore to be exatninod by the directors of tho dank, knowing full well that hiscrimo would bo exposed, wont and drownod himself. No man in that city stood higher in a business and social capao ' ity than this man Mills. ' Tbe bank has suspended and depositors will fooso $150,000 and tho widows and oiphnus $450,000. It's tbo samo old lory fusliiomiblo and fast living. Later investigations develop tho fact that the book keeper is a defaulter, too, to nearly $10,000, and that Mills had negotiated $1100,000 worth of Georgia SUto Bonds, fraudulently is sued by lVa Bullock carpet-bag gov ernment of that State, which aro to tally worthless, and for which Mills' account is credited at 75 conts on tho dollar. It is no wonder tbo old vil lain drowned himself. Destructive Fire Baltiinoro was visited by a destructive fire on the -5th.

This, If un true, should be denied and set right, nod If true, oiposed, that It may bo properly reproved. This is precisely the plan of Cam eron, Mac key & Co., at llarrisburg The Stalo Treasurer annually reports a balnnco of about one million three hundred thousand dollars in the Treas ury, when there is not tbe ono-thir-tcenth part there In money. But in stead, there Is to be found in a pigeon bole a note of Don Cameron's for 200,000; J. K. Kidgway & Co., a rot ton banking conoorn in Philadelphia, have note thore for $100,000; a cashier's chock of the Middlotown bank for $50,000 ; tbe chock of a Lob anon and a Lewisburg bank for a sim ilar amount each, while Mackey'sown chock drawn on bis Pittsburg bank for $100,000, is in tbe same bole, be sides thoso of banks at Huntingdon, Altoona, Williamsport, Korristown, and Sunbury, ranging In sums from $20,000 to $50,000 each. Thus tho balance in our Slate Troasury has been used by these banks for years for speculative purposes, without paying any interest to the Stalo, while the tax-payors of the commonwealth are compollcd to pay interest on this samo money, used by those bankers to en rich themselves. Why do not our State, authorities take this money and redeom State so curilios and stop the interest f We again ask : Why not save tbe tax-payers of the State at least $00,000 annu ally, by using tbo balanco in a legiti mate way, instead of allowing these banks to use it, out of which they coin from 15 to 20 per eent. f How much is this motbodof doing Imninees above, that of tho common highwayman f Is it not simplo robbery, too 1 If the treasury affairs of Clearfield county wore managed in a similar way, what universal indignation would come from every loyal throat within its borders. And jot, what is to prevent it? . If it it endorsed as a christian and loyal virtuo, to rob tbe people at Washing ton and Llarrisburg, what is to pre vent that virtuo from spreading all over the country I ; ' j A burst of boly horror and indigna tion has gone forth because a band of freebooters upsot a train of cars on the Pacifio railroad last wock and robbed tho express of no loss than $-1,000. Yet this it but a little over balf tho sum which each member oi Congress stole from the United States Treasury in March last. What kind of morals and system of economy is the country being cursed with any how f It would indeed be Strange, and wo arc astonished ut tho verdancy of the Led.jcr man, if the robbers' game, practiced at Uarrisburg, is not also played at Washington. r Is any body green enough to suppose that a chango of locality would produce a revolution in Simon Cameron's system of robbery, which he has practiced for forty years, or improvo his mor als f No. Instead of there being from thirty to forty millions of dol lars in the United Stales Troasury, at tho end of each month, thcro are not five millions. Two hundred banks snd branchos uso no other capital but this, which coats tho lax-payers two million four hundred thousand dollars annually in the way of interest Such is the loyal modo of banking. Com pel tho tax payors to furnish tho capi tal ail muko thorn pay the interest, and if any of thoso boobies want to get a discount or loan then charge them from twelve to twenty per cent, for the ACCOMMODATION, and toll the customer that no other man could havo bcon accommodated at this time but him, as the bank is hard up, etc. If the people are foolish onough to al low this system of publio robbory to continuo for Ave years longor these banking freebooters will become as daring as the Iowa gang, and not on ly compel the owners of property to furnish thoir capital, but they will compel fui'Miers and lot ownors to pay them a rent for tho property they havo earned by (ho sweat of (heir brow. There are more public robbers honsod at llurrinbtirg and Washington and tho capitals of our southern stales than are to. bo found on our western plains, including Indian agents, Mo docs and all.

Sinee then we have obtainod the following particulars of the horrible Dutohery ana tee oniocl which Impollod its perpetration t In farm houso noar Linden, about four miles and a half from Williamsport. cqul-distant from the Philadelphia and Erie railroad and a publio road, resided a couple ugud about tovenly five year. The building Is located about 800 yards from the railroad and can be plainly teon by nasaengors on the various trains wbiob pass that point. The houss is reached from the publio road by a lane, and no habita tion is within 800 or -100 yards of the place. The oouple wore known as quiet and unobtrusive peoplo and pos sessed no social qualities. They had low visitors aua aostaineu irom can ing on others unless absolutely neces sary. Xboy bad lived at the spot lor many years and woro tho owners of two large farms In the neighborhood. Beside it was generally believed that they had socretod in the bouse a large quantity of gold some placing the figure as high as $25,000. it was known Inst two wealthy bachelor brothers of tbe wife had died at the place and bequoatbed their pos sessions to the acred couple winch ad ded to their frugality and other circum stances caused them to be regarded as among the most affluent residents of the country. The knowledge that tbe honso contained but two occupants, and they old and feeble, and that thousands of dollars of gold woro sup posed to be in their possession, was communicated to a brakoman on the Philadelphia and Erie Uuili-onrl, named Nelson Wado years ego. and on Tues day evening he carried into execution the diabolical dosign which bo had doubtless nourished for a long period. Tho man and wife were just making preparations to cnl thoir supper, tho edibles having already been plueud on tho table; when a visitor suduonly made his appearance. Mrs. MUrUa had cono toward tho cellar on the outside with a crock of milk, and the door leading to the base ment being closed sho placed the earthen vossel on tho doorstop. As sho prooeodod to open the cellar door she was violently assaulted with a club by tho strangor, and although pleading for morcy the monstor oon tinuod his brolul and cowardly attacks on tho unprotected woman until she lay wollorinL In her blood and death ensued. This fiondish act accom plished Wade took the club with whicb no- had murdered Mrs. M'Brido and with the blood dripping from it rushed into the houso and applied tt to the head of the husband until be bad sup posed he had killed him. Ho was now master of tbe terrible situation and commenced a search for tho gold winch be thought was In tho bouse. lie succeeded in obtaining, tt is said, about $0,000, when be quit tbe scone of bit terrible work. THE SITUATION DISCOVERED. Although tho murder was oommit- tod on Tuesday evening, it was not known by any person but the assassin and robber until near noon on Wed nesday, when soma one bad occasion to go to the house and found Mrs. Mo Bride covered witb gore, her skull fractured, her features generally dis torted sod ber inanimate form lying wbere she bad been stricken down by tbe murderer. Tbe crock of milk which she bod placed on the door step seemed to have been untouched. : The startled aod horrified discoverer of the woman's fate thon entered the house, where he found Mr. M'Brido still breathing but porfoctly uncon scious, llis hood bore abundant evi dence of having boon violently beaton, and his faco, hands and clothing wore stained with blood, while the floor contained considerable quantities of coagulated gore. , r TUE TERRIBLE NEWS SPREADING. . Soon after tbo nonror neighbors were informed of tbe trscrcdy, and by sftornoon hundreds of people on foot and in carriages wero hurrying to the tcono. Tbe most intense excilemont prevailed, and those who witnessed tho bloody corps of Mrs. M'Bride and hor almost dead husband were filled with indignation against tbe murderer and threats of lynching wore freely made. Tbe eountry for miles was scoured by parties in ecach of the as sassin. THE TELL-TALE GOLD THE MURDERER CAUGHT IN A TtROTIIKL. On Wednesday night a man-apparently intoxicutod and with a swagger ing air entered a house of prostitution in Williamsport and was very extrav agant In the cxpondituroof his money, lie exhibited moro gold coin than is ordinarily possoBsed by individuals, nnd the mistress of tho houso, having boon informed of tbe murder near Linden and Of tho supposed robbery of gold, began to suspect the visitor as the guilty party and slipped to the outside and communicated her suspic ions to tho police authorities of Wil liamport. Thoy soon made thoir np poaranee at tbe bouse and took the man into custody. Ho was examined, and in bis pockets woro found about $0,000 in gold. Ho offered no resist ance to the officers, and nflor a brlof interval confessed that ho had com milled the mnrder and stolen tbo gold after Iho pcrpotration of tbe crnno, besides making revolutions as to bow he had proceeded uboul tho bloody businoss. Tho fiond is now in irons in the Lycoming county prison, from which he will not cmergo until he Is brought ot for trial. TIIE CONDITION OF MR. M'nPIDB.

Her companions, Bearing ine uruie scream, sought safety in flight, but Miss Dry. an. findinir escsno impossible, dotor- minod to stand her ground, nnd sola- inn a buce pine knot, cave her enemy battle. The contest was a close one fof a few minutes, but human cour ace, judgment and coolness soon trl- umphed over brute strength, and the horoio woman soon naa me satisiao- lion of layintr tbe blood-thirsty mon tor dead at hor foot. Her gar mon U were torn in shreds and ber laoe and and arms badly scratched, but the walked home with a firm ttep and tbe light of triumph in hor eye, and wat ablo to give a cood aooount of herself. Tho dead panther was soon afterwards loana oy uie people oi yueon s run and provod, on measurement, to be six foettnd ten Inchet long. Mits Brvon is the lion for lioness) of the neighborhood, a she well dosorvet to be. We doubt whether on Instanoo can be found on reoord of moro cool horoio bravery and wiso discretion, dovoloped by any woman, ovon in the most historio and perilous day of 1 onnsvlvama. Practical. Tho Indiana State Liquor Law toemt destioed to create an alarming incroaso of tbat pitiable class oi husbands unieoiiogiv styled "henpeckod." A provision of the law makes the liquor-sollors responsible for the damages caused by the purchaser. In order to escape these penalties the saioon-koopers oi liluntown have noli fiod all married womon tbat if thoy do not wish liquor sold to tboir bus- bands, all thoy have to do is to leave at the bars a wrilton notice to that effect. The samo privilege is extend. ed to unmtti'riud women wbo have lovors whom they wish to be kept from tho intoxicating cup. , But this is not nil. The sellers have issued a permit for the uso of wives who are willing their husbands shall drink when and whore they ploase, the wives waiving all claim to damages theroirom. it is a prelty dark out look for imbibing husbands and lovers in Blufftown. . lbs bachelors and the women will have a cloar field to them selves if the law is enforced Another Match Sticx Factory. Tho Watsonlown Record refer as follows to a new enterprise in tbat place; it may not be generally known that extensire buildings aro boing orocisd in this place in which match sticks will be manufactured. The buildings are boing put up by tbe firm in the vicinity of thoir limber mills, the main one ot which will be 40 by 80 feet in sice, and will be known as tbe "Keystone Match Slick Manufac tory." It is calculated to make tbe match sticks from tbo offals of tho mills and ship ibem to manufacturers in Giticreni parts ol tbe United States. Ten machines will be bere in a fow days, and operations oommonood in about throe week.. About twenty bands will be employed, and tbe fac tory operated under the supervision ol Maj. J. 11.
