Major General of tho National Guard
(and a recont appointuo ol'llartranfl'i

county, to oporato on tho Mollies to

lany s part in this misorablo and cor
nipt intriiruo, John J. Slatterlv tcstill-
ed as follows on tlio trial of Yullnw
Jack Donahue, who was hanifcd for
tho murder of Morgan Powell :
"That be (Slatterlf Vend Jack K.hn. ...

Slutlorly also testified to tho fuel
that a lurgo amount of money was to
have been sent to PittHburir to nur-
chase tbo "order" here. Notliinir has
been bettor established than tho fuel
of tho conspiracy to buy up tho Mollio

with a batch of pardons thrown in,
"lor legitimate election expenses,''
was one ol tho ways Uurtrimll crawl
cd through in IHTj.
But this is getting away from tho
uovernors messenger, Ueluny, who
recently made a hypocritical uud cunt,
ing pilgrimago to Allegheny county to
induco Catholics, and especially Hiber
nians, to voto against Colonel fcoyes,
and lor Aluckoy's clerk, Hart, for Sluto
Treasurer, on tho lying pretonso that
D. O. Ilarr was defeated in the Demo
cratic .S til to Convention because he
was not of tho religious faith of tho
majority. That a ring office-holder of
soiled reputation, should be detailed
for this business almost passes beliel,
but wa havo tho statement that it is
so, over tho signaturo of Delany in tho

This takes ono's breath away in it
consummate hypocrisy and cant. Thi

Mollio iUaguirci in lata, and the lured
agent of the Treasury ring, having a
"mission "to my countrymen (tin

to pcrpclualo tho Treasury ring by

G enti.esi en Your letter of the 20th
ult., informing mo of my nomination
for the ollico of Auditor General by
tho Doniocratio State Convention, is
bolbro mo. 1 accopt tho nomination
under a doep sonso of tho honor oou
ferrod by tho distinguished body you
represent in making this announce
ment. Tho offico of Auditor General is ono
of great inportanco. As fur back as
iHU tbo liCgislaturo enacted "that all
accounts botweon tho Commonwealth
and any person or persons, body po
ntic or corporaio, as won those with
tho ofilcors of the ruvenuo as the per
sons entrusted with tho receipt, or
who have or hereafter may become
possossed ol public money," also the
accounts ol all persons having claims
on tho Commonwealth, shall bo exam
ined and adjusted by tho Auditor Gen-
emi ueeoruing lo law ami equity."
Ilo was clothed with oxtensivo pow
ers, anu now sinco tno Industries ot
the Stulo have kopt paco with its
grontly increased population, and now
sources of revenues havo been opened
up, it is of tlio utmost importance to
mo taxpayers mat these powers bo
intelligently and honestly exercised.
Integrity, viifilunco, and a duo sonso
of public responsibility should govern
in the administration of tho affairs ot
this department of tho Stnto government.
You aro pleased to refer in comnli-
mcntury terms to my labors on behalf
of tlio workingmen of tho State. My
interest in their wclfaro is not of re.
cont birth. During a public carcor
now oxlondine over many vonrs I havo
always deemed it my duty lo voto for
an measures tending to dignity labor,
and to elevate in the moral, social and
political scnlo Ihoso who followed it as
a pursuit.
I do not think thcio is any necessa
ry antngonism between eiipitul and la
bor. On tlio contrary there is a closo
relationship between them which
should work to tho advantage of both
a relationship which ought to bo so
adjusted us to divide between thom
tho results of industry in good faith
and good feeling. Experience, how
over, has shown that in many instan
ces tho power of capital, directed by
selfishness, has wrested from labor the
rights that legitimately belong to it. My
ruie nas ueen to legisluto so as to pro
vein wronir ami securo that wine
wits right to all classes.
I am sincerely uratilied to know
mat neretotoro 1 bavo cniovecl th
contidenco ol and received honors from
tho industrial classes of my fellow-
citizens. It is my pttrposo herealter.
whotherin public or privato life, to do
no act which shall cattso them to ro
gret theso manilostations ol tlioir re
gard. I can otily Bay in conclusion
that should the action of tho Conven
tion be ratified by tho people, I shall
consider tho call to servo thorn in
now sphere as imposing on mo th
most weighty obligations to iruard an
protect their interests wilh strict fidel

firmed Groonbacker maintains that all
that is necessary to give it valuo is the
i-iovernniont stamp, it ig tho same
delusion that has beloggod the minds
ol many people and Nations in the
past that a representative of value is
valuo itself. So tnought Philip the
Soeond, King of Spain, ono ol tho most
powonul JUonarcbs that cuor sat on
a throno, whoso rule oxtendod from
Spain to tho furthor conflnos ol Ger
many, and from tho llallio sea to the
Mediterranean, who possessed America
with all its mines of cold and silver.
and was in a condition to give law to
mo worm. Tins despot, extravagant
beyond measure, incurred debts wLich
bis Govern moot found it inconvenient
and almost impossible to pay. Ilenco,

tnder this caption, wo find tho
views of an old, truo and tried Demo
crat, who has served tlio Stato in vari
ous capacities with honor to both, on
tlio agitating question of tho day. Wo
confess our stupidity and ignorance on
tho currency question. Finance is not
our fort, although wo havo listened to
many clear and concise arguments in
banks, offices, stores, shops, and on tho
street-corners, since Jny Cooko & Co.
closed their shop ; but we bavo never
yet been able to see bow the country
could grow and prosper by discarding
the Constitutional idea or principle, as
well its sound morals, relating to tho
currency of the country, and infusing
or engrailing iriloour system the Green-
buck theory, and then expect a revival
n business and enduring prosperity.
In morals, it is adjudged that when
a man gives bis bond or nolo to his
neighbor ho will eventually pay it, if
lie wishes to bo considered an honest
man. It is just so Willi the Govern
merit. Thcro nro no two rules in
morula on this subject. TbcStuto can
no moro repudiate its paper without
violating the moral code, than John
Jones can. Individuals may, under
our laws, slip through bankruptcy and
pay what they owo, by a certificate
from tho L'nitrcl Slates .Marshal delir
eredto their creditors. Governments
lave nn inch rights, unless (hey aro
forced by a revolution. The extremes
in all popular questions always nieut,
when the middle or conservative class
must ititerveno and savo both extrem
ists from annihilation. In theology,
we havo (he Calvinist and tho Arminiaii.
In finances, wo bavo tho pure Gold
ealer and tho Greenback vender.
Should either succeed, we havo no faith
that they would bring about genuino
prosperity, cither to themselves or to
ho country.

readers the learned disquisition d one

bo by persons of a sombro turn of

minds of a good many ol us from that
decent solemnity which becomes us so
well when tbe winter begins to come
on, and thoughts ol coal and wood and
shoes and other necessities of cold

sonable weight. Weather-wise people
toll us that wo must expect an oarlv

In view of the trouble which is lilco-

his family alono and without any ro

tbo echo of some very disreputable
lommiiiiisls and pretended political
economists whoso wind is expended in
saying what "should bo so" and not
what is so, und, Inasmuch as it is gov

Borno, tbeso chalets are construcled of
firs which havo boen merely squared
with an adzo, and even sometimes of
firs in tho rough. Thoy aro bound
togolher at the ends, not with spikes
or nails, but by being notched and
dovetailed into ono another. The
roof is construcled at rather an obtuse
anglo for socurity, and tho shingles or
wooden titles which cover it aro as
largo as our largo slates, and kont in
their places with wooden rods on which
heavy stones are placed. When you
approach these hovels in the moun
tains, for many of them deserve no
better namo, being neither wind-tight
nor wator-tight, thoy present a most
odd appearance, and for all the world
seem as if a shower of stones from the
adjacent mountain had alighted upon
them. Notwithstanding all their pro.
cautions, vory frequently not only
thoir roofs but also their raftors and
sides are broken up and dispersed to
tbo winds by tho hurricanes which
prevail in the mountains.

COMMON ERRORS IN LIFE.
"One of the most freoucnt errors wo
all maka in lifo," says Aulbur Helps,
"is the valuing a thing according to
mo uuiicuiiy oi ooiaining 11. And
this error is univorsal. I do not bo-
liovo that any one is free from it. No
doubt the desiro of overcoming a did!.
culty was implanted in the human
Dreast lor vory good reasons; but wo
have carried this desiro to an cxlremo :
and it mostly renders us blind as to
tno rcnl value of the object we pursue.
In Love, for instance, the easiest
conquest is the best. I know that
this is a vory daring saying, but I am
persuauca inai ii is a true one. The
love which soonest responds to lovo
ovon what wo call 'lovo at first sight'
is the surest love, and for this reason
that it docs not depend npon any
merit or quality, but embrace! in its
view tho whole being. That is tbo
love which is likely to last incompre
hensible, undofinablo, onarguablo
about. But this love often fails to
satisfy man or woman. And bo or
sho pursues that which is difficult lo
obtain, but which, from that very cir
cumstance, is not tbe best for him or
bor.

But ovon an illcondilioncd or even a
cantankerous man offers attractions,
by reason of difficulty, to othor men

As an additional argument for not

In material things the folly of nur-

Tns Kind op Relioion we Want.
We want a religion that softens the
Blcti, and tunes the voioo to molody
and fills tho eyo with sunshine, and
checks tho impatient exclamation and
harsh rebuke ; a religion that is polite,
deferential to superiors, courteous to
inferiors and considoruto to frionds; a
religion that goes into the family, and
keeps tho husband Irom being cross
when dinner is lato, and keeps tbo wifo
from Ironing when tho husband tracks
tho newly washed floor with his mud
dy boots, and makes tlio husband mind
lul of the scraper and tho door-mat;
keeps tho mother palient when the
baby is cross and amuses tho children
as well as instructs them ; cares for
tho sen-ant bcsidoi paying them
promptly, projects tho honey moon
into tho harvest-noon, and makes the
happy homo liko the Eastern fig-tree,

in old times, was used by the Scotch
