We again beg parties remitting money 0 FATHER. ABRAHAM not to send it by mail, without registering their letters, or procuring a money order at their post office where they have access to a money order office. We have received inform- tion of four letters having been sent to us containing money, which we have not re ceived. Three of them were from the fol lowing offices: Lyles, Lancaster county; St. Clair, Schuylkill county; and Oceola, Clearfield county. We hope all concerned will bear this in mind. TO ALL CONCERNED. Sections 62 and 63 of Act of March 31, 1860, read as follows : " Sec. 62. If any officer of this common wealth, or of any city, borough, county or township thereof, shall loan out, with or with out interest or return therefor, any money or valuable security received by him, or which may be in his possession, or under his control by virtue of his office, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor in office, and on conviction be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and undergo an imprison ment, by separate or solitary confinement at labor, not exceeding five years ; and if still in office, be adjudged thereafter incapable of ex ercising the same, and the said office shall be forthwith declared vacant by the court pass ing the sentence. "Sec. 63. if any such officer shall enter into any contract or agreement with any bank, cor poration or individual, or association of indi viduals, by which said officer is to derive any benefit, gain or advantage from the deposit with such bank, corporation or individual, or association, of any money or valuable se curity held by him, or which may be in his possession, or under his control by virtue of his said office, he shall be guilty of a misde meanor, and, on conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dol lars, and to undergo an imprisonment not ex ceeding one year ; and if still in office, be adjudged thereafter incapable of exercising the same, and the said office shall be forth with declared vacant by the court passing rentence." WATCH TIIE POLLS! Again we ftlnind the Republican voters of the county to be sure to reach the polls early on Saturday next and see that hon est t Accra are selected to conduct the primary elections. Attempts will be made by the "ring" in some districts to " count in" and "count out" certain can didates, and unless closely watched may prove successful. Let us have a fair elec tion, a full vote and an honest count. Father Abraham says that the State Treasurer has threatened to defeat the re nomination of Senator Billingfelt at any cost. We have the best authority for as serting that State Treasure) Mackey has made no such threat, and will do nothing to impede the certain success of the honest and conscientious Senator.—Philadelphia Republic. sue' Of course the state treasurer de nies it; but what of that ?

THE "SET UP." The following is the Thug-Ring ticket, as circulated up to last Monday evening. It will be seen that it contains the names of four individuals who have openly and unconditionally denied having anything to do with it : Senator—.lohn Stehman and It. W Shank. Assembly—Dr. J. C. Gatehell, John E. Wiley, A. Godsbalk and A. C. Beinoehl. Sheriil—John Ilildebrand. Register—Martin S. Fry. Prothonotary—Samuel Boyd. Clerk of Quarter Sessions—DavidKoth. Clerk of Orphans' Court—David Ben der. Treasurer—ll. K. Stoner. Commissioner—Solomon Diller. Directors-13. F. Cox, Adam Lefever. Prison Inspectors—lsaac 11. Slicaller, Jared Sweigart. Coroner—Mathias W. Smith, Conoy. Those who have openly denied having anything to do with this combination, or any sympathy with it, are Messrs. B. W. Shenk, A. Godshalk, A. C. Reinoehl and 11. K. Stoner. The candidate for Sherif): is probably only a feint, as Frederick Myers will undoubtedly get the support of the ring, whilst Hildebrand is only to be used to give some strength to Stehman, Gatchell, Wiley & Co., in the neighborhood of Mt. Joy. They will also partly support Rob erts for Treasurer. The real Thug ticket, as far as they have been able to agree, are Stehman for Senate, Gatchell and Wiley for Assembly, Myers for Sheriff; Fry for Register; Boyd for Prothonotary, Roth for the Sessions, Bender for Orphans' Court, Roberts for Treasurer, Cox and Lefevre for Directors and Shea frer and Swei gart for Prison Inspectors, and Mathias W. Smith for Coroner. On Commis sioner they are not united—Brubaker being opposed to Diller. The point the ring-leaders have most at heart is the election of Stehman to the Senate, and to this all their energies will be directed. To gain this object, they have used the names of the gentlemen given above, who have repudiated the arrangement, iu order, if possible, to hide their tracks, and give respectability to their ticket. If necessary, any other candidate on their "set-up" will be sacrificed to effect the one grand object of securing the suc cess of the candidate of the State Treasury "ring," the Oily Gammon of Penn-twp., John M. Stehman. Instructions have been given to his paid hirelings in the several districts to rote for Stehman alone for the State Senate—to have no other name on the ticket for that office. We have now given our readers the " slate , of the Thugs, and their allies. It rests with the people to decide on Saturday next, whether these conspirators shall succeed in their designs. A full vote, and an honest conduct of the election, we are confident, will secure the ignominious defeat of the combination. —Since the above was in type, we read the following in the Daily Express of Tuesday : THE LATEST ! The latest development is the action of a caucus of the ring-managers held last night, in which the following modifica tions of the foregoing ticket were agreed upon, the new combinations for the As sembly fully confirming what we have heretofore said on this subject, except in the case of Mr. Hunsecker, which is a " new card :I, For Assembly—C. L. Hunsecker, Manheim ; Jacob G. Peters, Conestoga ; A. 11. Summy. East Hemptield ; John E. Wiley, Conoy. Sherzff—Fred'k Myers, Strasburg bor. Clerk Quarter Sessions—B. F. Rowe, Providence. Treasurer William Roberts, 'West It was known yesterday, to the well informed, that Griest & Co. admitttd that " Pownall could not make it," and the change in the Assembly set-up clearly in dicates that they have sold out to Stehman & Co., or " compromised" the matter' in some way satisfactory to the " ring," as foreshadowed in our article of Thursday last. Look out fur a huge swindle on the people REINOEHL AND GODSHALL Probably for the purpose of creating suspicions of their political integrity and making sure of the defeat of Messrs. Rein oehl and Godshalk, the Thug ring a week or two ago made a show of putting them on their legislative ticket. As Messrs. Reinoehl and Godshalk never acted at the dictation or in the interest of the ring when they were in the Legislature and were defeated by that corrupt combina tion last year, it is not at, all likely that there is much love between them and the Thugs now. We are positively assured by these two candidates that they stand in the same position of direct and unyield ing opposition to Thuggery that they have always maintained, and if the Thugs are going to support them, which is very doubtful, it; is for the purpose of giving character and respectability to the rest of the Thug ticket, and not because of any desire for their eleution.—Laneaster Ex press of Saturday. It will be seen that Messrs. Godshalk and Reinoehl are not on the real . ring ticket at all, and that their names were only used by the Thap,lrlbrtnn purpose of creatigg. Suspielprks, typiinst ,friends run...no friming:thetu their hearty support. BILLINGFELT & the STATE TREASURY! The State Debt to be reduced One Million of Dollars—The position taken by our Sen ator fully sustained, his enemy being one of the Judges! We have the gratifying intelligence to communicate to our readers, that the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund, one of whom is the State Treasurer, have adver tied foe proposals to redeem one million of the State Than, due in July, 1870, on the first of October next. This is the first instance in the history of the Commonwealth that the paymen of the State indebtedness has been antici pated, or that a proposition to do so in money, has been made, and for it we are Webted to the bold stand taken by Sena tor 13illingfelt, during the last session of the Legislature. It is entirely in accord ance with his resolution, which was op posed by the Treasury ring as entirely im practicable. But public opinion was formed by the speech made by Mr. Bil lingfelt at the time, when he plainly proved that it could be done; and that public opin ion has wrought the change in the minds of the powers that be, who now control the funds of the people's Treasury. how emphatically the course and position of our Senator has been vindicated! But what of the other million still in re serve? Why not save $50,000 more an nually to the tax-payers, by apply inga mil lion more to the same purpose? Send Mr. B. back to the Senate, and as he had the courage last session to beard the lion, he will again, and will not rest until all the money belonging to the people will be used for their benefit, in discharging the puplic indebtedness, and not for the benefit of at ring of speculators who surround the State Treasury and apply the money of the Commonwealth to thbir own selfish purposes. PACKER'S LIBERALITY. The Bearer Radical says that Packer began a system of lavish expenditure, for the sake of popularity and sympathy, which has gone so far as the purchase of a Democratic nomination for the Gover norship of Pennsylvania, and aims at the purchase of enough votes to elect him to that high office. iris first essay in this scheme was a gift of $500,000 to build a college, to be under the control of the Epis copal Church at Bethlehem. But evenin this ostentatious liberality Asa bad an eye to the main chance. Valuable de posits of sulphur and zinc were discover ed in the Lehigh Valley, and Packer at once bought up immense tracts in the vicinity of these discoveiies. He then made the princely gift, with the condition that the college should be located in the center of his own property—a part of which was donated for the site. The col lege was built; a new town sprung up about the college, the zinc mines, and the sulphur works. The sale of lots became brisk and the prices were constantly ad vanced until Packer is said to have clear ed a million over and above his "gift" to the college Out of this abundant profit he has since given a large sum to endow the college, and on this unequal division of the profits of a shrewd speculation, he now looks for that applause which follows the noble liberality of such benefactors as George Peabody. Verily the old Trojan proverb "distrust a Greek even while bear ing gifts," will find a ready response in the ease of that philanthropist who man ages to speculate on his virtues, and at tempts to perpetrate a fraud on the com munity under the guise of disinterested benevolence. We have neither time nor space to fol low the history of the candidate of Billy McMullin further at this time ; but we now promise to enlighten our readers fur ther on Mr. Asa Packer's claim to the confidence, the esteem, and-the support of the people of this State. And if it shall_ appear to his friends that they have done well in placing him before us as an aspir ant for the highest office in our gift, they cannot complain when we subject his life and character to a searching examination, and his motives to a sharp criticism. BLUFFS "Jolly Jack" still denies that money was sent here from llarrisburg to assist in nominating Stehman and defeating Billingfelt. Of course he will deny it, but what does his denial amount to ? It is not the first time the thing has been done, and he does not and dares not deny that money was sent last year from Harris burg to nominate the ring ticket for the Legislature. The denial of a political bush-whacker, who is Thug and Anti- Thug to suit, don't pass current. Jaok knows who was offered part of the mousy ; we told him last week. The talk about a candidate we "pretend to be in favor of" is unworthy of notice. If anybody is green enough to believe such a story he is welcome to do so. But enough of this. By-the-way, is Jack a Thug or Anti- Thug th.s time ? Echo answers Tnuo ; and a sneaking 0111,C at that I WHO DID ITS Mr. Frank W.

Monday last witnessed the assembling together in this city of the political brokers of the county, and the tools to whom they pay out their money to be used against the people at the primary elections. Mon ey was plenty, and the supporters of Steh man made large disbursements. The scalawags went home with their pockets full of stamps, to carry out the instruc tions of their owners. These men will be easily known at the polls on Saturday, and we advise people to keep clear of them, : nd mark them for future reference. A TEN-STRIKE! The Harrisburg Patriot continuing its lying insinuations that Governor Geary has abused the pardoning power, an 4 this in the face of the fact that he has granted fewer pardons than any other Governor of this Commonwealth, the Harrisburg Telegraph replies : "Had he wished to sell pardons he could have obtained more for the pardon of the Democratic murderer, Gerald Eaton, than Asa Pack er paid to Alderman McMullin, Eaton's friend and companion, to secure his nomi nation for Governor. Will the Patriot's arithmetician figure up the amount and give us the result ?" Hit him again I Oorropondtact. THINGS IN PHILADELPHIA The Drought—Cnntinued Scarcity of Water— The National Labor Congress—Capture of a reported Cuban Privateer—Visit of Captain Shaw of the London Fire Brigade—A Maniac Kills his Father—&c., Pnri,Amarars, Aug. 25, 180. DEAR ABE—Philadelphia is still suffering for a want of water and—whisky ! The great lire lately at Lombard and Front streets de stroyed the greater portion of our whisky, causing that article to considerably advance in price, and now the continued spell of dry weather is depriving us of our "Schuylkill," so that with ruin and water both scarce, and the thermometer at one hundred and up wards, we are truly at people well calculated to excite the sympathies of our country cousins. The reservoir at Fairmount is reported to have but a few inches of water left, and un less we are soou blessed with copious showers, we will really be in want. The river Schuyl kill has not been known to be so low for years, there nut being sufficient water to work the turbine wheels used to force the water into the basin. We have managed to exist only through the hospitality of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, who opened the danis upon several occasions within the past week to permit the city to be supplied. Tu-day and yesterday the authorities have been ex perimenting with steam tire engines, and by this means endeavoring to alleviate the wants of our inhabitants. The National Labor Congress was in session during all last week in our city, and on Satur day last adjourned nine die. A peculiarity of this assemblage was that it mattered not of what color or sex delegates happened to be, they were granted a voice in the Convention. Among the notabilities of the opposite sex who visited Philadelphia during the session, were Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Dr. Mary E. Walker, the latter causing no little amount of excitement as she promenaded Chesnut street in her Presidential Reception attire—black silk breeches and coat and vest. The next session of the "Congress" will take place at Cincinnati, Ohio. What was par ticularly accomplished I am unable to say, as Warwick neither participated in nor could find sufficient time to study the proceedings. Last week another reported Cuban fillibus tering expedition was brought to grief. The fast sailing steamer " Hornet" cleared at our port for Liverpool via Havana, which was considered as rather a round-a-bout °aural for England, and us suspicions were aroused that it was probably the intention to evade the neutrality laws, the United States steamer "Miami" was. sent in pursuit of the "Hornet" by U. S. Marshal Gregory, and succeeded in overhauling her some where down the river. She was brought back to the city and now lies at our Navy Yard under the care of Uncle Sam. The crew was a remarkably large one —over fifty in number, and are reported to have been armed with revolvers and other weapons. Capt. Shaw, Director of the London Fire Brigade, has been the guest of our fire depart ment during the week. The Captain visits America to notice the workings and peculiari ties of the method of our department. On Saturday he was feasted, and on Sunday morning a general alarm was sounded and the different fire companies proceeded to Baldwin's Looomitive works at Broad and Hamilton streets. It was a well known fact as early as Saturday morning, that the general alarm would be sounded during the night, so that by the time our guest with the Chief Engineer and other representatives of our department arrived at the scene of the imaginary fire, they found companies already on the ground with attachments made, lung before the alarm had been sounded! If there is any other city in the Union—or Europe either—that can beat ours for alacrity, we should like to hear from them. Yesterday morning our citizens were startled by the report of another horrible murder, per petrated in the immediate vicinity of ifith and Pine streets, where Twitcaell butchered Mrs. Hill some six months since. Marshall Kay Evans, shot and killed his father, MOWS L. Evans, at the breakfast table. Young Evans has exhibited symptoms of insanity ter a year or more. It appears that a week or Iwo since he visited his wife, who is stopping at Riverton, N. J., and while there insisted that there was a conspiracy on foot to take his life. Ile barricaded the room which was occupied by himself and wife, and drawing a large' knife attempted to stab her. His wife requested that if he insisted upon killing her he should cut her throat, which had the effect to change the maniac's mind, as he slightly cut her in the lip, after which he hid the knife. Nothing further was noticed until Monday night last, when the young man slept with his father: During the night he paced the floor for several hours, and taking the wash pitcher cautioned ,hts father to lie perfectly still or he would brain him. He was again pacified and returned to bed. Yesterday morning upon arising from the breakfast table he went into the parlor where he was followed by the deceased, when young Evans drew a revolver pad shot the-old.gentleman in three different plaoes, frOin' the effects of which he died short ly aftet.

The West Chester Republican says: We are prepared to pay liberal prices for accu rate and carefully prepared designs of Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, as he appeared in public under the following thrilling circumstances: illustration No. I.—Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as he appeared previous to being immersed in the Lehigh river, by indignant boatmen, whom he wished to compel to work at starvation prices, that he might accumu late a fortune of:if - 20,000,00W The boatmen should be faithfully represented as they ap peared upon that memorable occasion!

The precise remarks made use of by Asa in the four several acts of the Drama, to gether with those of his assistants in the aquatic feat, should accompany each il lustration. Competitors will forward their productions with all possible dispatch, as we are anxious to place them in the hands of the Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, as forming a series of re markable, soul-stirring and patriotic in cidents in the life of their candidate, and at the same time furnishing the most sub stantial reasons why lie should be elected Governor of the State! P. S.—Should the above designs prove satisfactory, we shall need others repre senting Asa'es singular removal from Car bon county to Philadelphia, to avoid pay ment of taxes! GRANT'S TRAVELS. The Chicago Tribune says: When Grant's presence was needed during the eight long years of the war, and of the perils of reconstruction, was he ever absent from his post ? Did he ever seek the Capital for promotion, oreon►e to it at all from the time he entered the army as Regimental Staff Quartermaster until he was called there as General-in-Chief of all our armies ? Did his stars or staff then figure at the watering places ? Never. The elements of his success were then military. He moved freely among all his officers and men from Sherman, McPher son and Sheridan down to surgeons, quartermasters and privates. He studied the problem iu all its parts and made no mistakes. His problem now is a financial, industrial and political one. lie is mov ing among men of business, of industry, and who through these resources, have earned their summer months for leisure. He sees a very great number of them. And if he learns nothing else, he at least learns them. He does well and wisely. Before we find fault with it, let us see what evil comes from it. goal fear. 3011 PRINTING.

THE COURT LAST WEEK : On Tuesday afternoon Henry Smith and three Buzzards— John. Martin and Abraham—from the Welsh mountain, were tried and found guilty of larceny and receiving stolen goods, four bills being found against each. They were in the chicken business, and done a brisk trade, having stolen sixty-five chickens from three persons. The Buzzards are very foul birds, and were sentenced, each, to six month's im prisonment to the county prison. They are old offenders. Smith received the same sent ence. Daniel Leber pleaded guilty to the larceny of a rope from Stephen Eagle St Company, and was sentenced to thirty days imprison ment in the Lancaster county prison. Robert McCall threatened Elizabeth Myers that if she did not get out of his presence he would punish her. As she did "get out of his presence," she did not receive the punish ment, and the Court thought, as she had complisd with the condition and escaped, the case should be dismissed ; the county for costs. Mollie Frick made threats against Cath arine Myers, and was sentenced to pay costs, and give security in $lOO to keep the peace. On Wednesday morning, Charles Clinger was tried and found guilty of larceny, in hav ing sold a mule and wagon borrowed from John Hartman, of this city. He was sen tenced to an imprisonment of two years to the Lancaster Comity Prison. James Casey was tried and convicted for passing counterfeit money in Marietta, on different individuals, and was sentenced to Live years in the county prison. Daniel Trewitz, of this city, charged with surety of the peace by John Martin, was, on motion of District Attorney Brubaker, dis charged on account of non-appearance of the prosecutor, and county to pay costs. That was a very queer disposition of the case, but George will make sure of the costs. The cases of Adam Flatterer and John Boas, two saur-kraut hill rowdies, for bur glary at the dwelling houses of A. L. Lane, and others, in Manheim twp., in June, the particulars of which we published at the time, was called. There were five indictments against them, and being found guilty, were each sentenced to four years and ten days in the county prison. The trials of the several cases occupied the attention of the Court for the balance of the day. On Thursday morning, Charles. Wilson was tried and convicted for stealing a lot of clothes in the wash, at the house of Joseph Harry, in Marietta, on the 19th of April last. Sentenced to five years in the county prison. David Landis, of Leacock township, was charged with kicking a young woman named Amanda Hoover, who was in his employ ment, because she would not drive some cows from a field before she changed her dress. This was' a very ungallant and cow ardly act, for which he should have been se verely punished. The Court reprimanded him severely for his brutal conduct, and sen tenced him to pay a fine of $5O and costs of prosecution. On Thursday afternoon, Caroline Green was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment, and costs, for assault and battery on Mary Ann Ayres, both colored women. Edward Aurelius received the same sen tence for assault and battery on Thomas Wil liams, near Columbia. Samuel Hoover was complained against by his wife for desertion, and an amicable ar rangement having been made between then by which he is to pay his wife 11125, and the children to be divided between them, the case was dismissed. Freeland Phillips was tried for felonous assault in stabbing Catharine Hauck in her right arm. The affair occurred on the 6th of June, in Kist Earl township, while the parties where on their way home from Mount Airy church. It was shown that the prosecutrix and another lady were walk ing together; that Phillips remarked to a companion that these two ladies ought to be cut apart, and that he stepped up bohind them and inflicted the wound with a knife. Verdict, guilty of assault and battery. Sen tenced to three mouths' imprisonment in the Lancaster County Prison. Elizabeth Specht complained against Cath arine Trissler for threatening to shoot her. The case was dismissed and the costs ordered to be paid by the county. John 1). Richards pleaded guilty to forging the name of J. P. Mclllvaine for fifteen dol lars worth of store goods,. and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the county jail. On Friday forenoon the charge against John Cafferty for deserting his wife was dh.missed, the prosecutrix having died since the com plaint was made. A formal verdict of not guilty was taken in the case of A. M. Wicks and others for nui sance. A verdict of not guilty was taken in the matter of Amos Albright, indicted for the larceny of some brass scraps from the foundry of William Diller, of this city, Mr. Diller not wishing to press the suit, as the defend ant appears to be a boy of a weak mind. Jacob Leman, charged with the larceny of a watch in this city, was acquitted of the offence. Benjamin Jones, charged with being the fttber of an illigitimate child with Emma Williams, of this city, was found guilty and received the usual sentence. Both parties are colored. Catharine Byerly, of Drytown, Rapho twp., was tried for malicious mischief, in throwing stones at the house of Frederick Mums, who lives opposite her father's residenee, endan gering the lives of the inmates of Mr. Mama's dwelling. It was alleged that Catharine wait of a weak mind, a great tobacco-chewer, and had frequent attacks of fits. She was con victed, and sentenced to pay a fine of $W and costs. On Friday afternoon Stephen Skeen was tried for assault and battery on William Waters, of Strasburg; the jury found a ver dict of not guilty, but directed that the costs be divided between the parties. Henry Firestine was complained against by his wife, Susan Firestine, for deserting her. The parties to the suit are from Penn- Otte. The husband had three of their chil dren in his possession, and the wife one. The wife not wishing to go to housekeeping again with her husband, the Court ordered the de fendant to pay one dollar a week towards maintaining the child which his wife has with her. Daniel Gohn married his wife Martha, at Columbia, in May, 1866. Shortly afterw ards he left for the west, leaving his wife behind, and did not return until August, 1869.
