DeMe Speeches Tbe Philadelphia- Press explains that it was entire-misapprehension of its readers to suppose that the speech de livered" in Philadelphia on fhe'nlght of September 30, was the one printed in the Press on the morning of October first. The Press speech was delivered on the afternoon of the thirtieth to an audience of one, being the sleagrapnefr of the Press, who took it down "'In the brief interval betweauhU (Beaver's) ar rival from Pottsville and the hour of meeting." Sure it is that the steno grapher expected the speech to be de livered in the evening, because Beaver told him it would be, and the Press pub lished it under the same misplaced confidence ; and it published it with the affirmation that it had been delivered: But Beaver did not tell the truth, which led the Press to tell a falsehood ; the Press did not know Beaver and its read ers did not know it ; consequently there was a misunderstanding all around. If the editor of the Press had thought Beaver would say anything worth hear ing he would have been at the meeting to hear it, and would not perhaps have printed a speech he did not deliver as one that he did. The editor seems to Miink he did a good thing for his readers by staying away, because he says the speech lie printed was a good deal better than the one delivered ; which h licly. Bu. if the Pre wants to print a good speech regard leu of whether it was delivered by Beaver, it might do a good deal bet ter for its readers by publishing an old speech of Daniel Webster, or some other good thinker, than by printing a new one got up between its reporter and Beaver. The trouble is that since the Press admits that neither it nor Beaver told the truth about that speech its read ers cannot feel very confident that they are getting the truth about Beaver's unadulterated responsibility for the stenographer's speech which they did not get a chance to hear. We hope that General Beaver in enlightening a Lancaster audience to-night will give them the ben efit of his very best thoughts and not leave them to be printed in bis organ here to-morrow as they have baen privately taken down by a reporter. If the general finds the practice con venient the fair thing for him to do would be to distribute his speech in pamphlet form among his audience when he appears before them, and then bid them good night and beg themNto go home and read it at their leisure. It would be an excellent arrangement, and save a grat deal of wasted breath to the general, weariness to his audience and trouble to his newspaper organ, which will otherwise feel obliged to print his speech in full. fit OaTte" Besy. The New York Sun has kind words for Simon Cameron. We do not know any quarter in which they will be more refreshing, nor where there is more parched grass to le refreshed by such a heavenly dew. The Sun finds in bis long life " three conspicuous facts " " which will certainly form for him an imper ishable distinction in future years." It declares him to have been 'the first man to propose that negroes should be em ployed as soldiers in the United States army, and to recognize the full force of the trutli that slavery was the turning point of the great strug gle; again, he opposed the electoral C3mmission, declaring that it was infi nitely better for the Republican party to yield to the decision of the election and let Mr. Tilden take his seat Thirdly, Mr. Cameron has done, according to the Sun, more acts of personal kindness than any other American of his day. The last two " facts " as foundation stones of Mr. Cameron's future fame, he is doubtless justly credited with. Mr. Cameron has helped a great many peo pie; aud that was one secret of his strength. If he opposed the electoral commission he did a very wise thing in deed. Whether he was as wise in'advo cating the use of negro soldiery is not 'bo conspicuous, since we do not understand that the colored troops were a very effi cient agent in qaelling the rebellion. The substance of what the Sun has to say for General Cameron is that he has been conspicuous for his sagacity and kindness of heart ; which we believe to be true ; but these are not the only ele ments necessary to win a man imper ishable fame of a desirable kind. If General Cameron had been as conspicuously just as he has been generous, and as honest as he has been sagacious, he would have won the distinction the Sun claims for him. Unfortunately he has not ahrunkfrom corruption, nor hesitated to trample upon right to achieve his purposes. He has been an unscrupulous politician ; and has gained only such fame as such a character can wis. TnEvPhiladelphia Times, by a very circuitous course of reasoning, readies advice to the Philadelphia Committee of One Ilundred which we can echo, and that is if we understand the Times'1 circumlocution, of which we are not confident to attach itself to the cause of neither candidate for sheriff, unless it considers one better than the other. Than is no disputing the good sense of that advice. The . Times considers Grim no better than Keirn ; if the Committee of One Hundred agree with it they would be silly to support Grim ! father than Keim ; for they are not Democrats, but Repub licans. The Democrats, believe Grim to be the best man for sheriff; as such they have nominated him. They will not expect the Committee of One Hundred or anybody else to help to elect him sheriff, unless they coincide in the opinion that be is a better man than Keim for the place. It is a very simple question for the One Hun dred. If they think Grim is the best man they should support him, to be true to their professions. If they do not think po, or are in doubt, they will sup port Keim or stand neutral. There is hardly any need of anybody advising them in such a simple dilemma. Raxdaix and Wallace flayed the Re publicans Saturday night. The speeches pabjsbedjon ear' first page to-day are worthy the perusal of all thoughtful peo ple. Senator Jones has informed a Denver reporter that Mr. Arthur is tired of being president. There are straggling frag ments of evidence that this weariness is shared to some extent by tho country. The candidacy of James W. Busier for senator puts the sturdy yeomanry of Cum berland county on their mottle. They ought to give him a lesson in politics to last him for the rest of his life that tho voters of the Cumberland valley cannot bo bought up on tho hoof liko beef cattlo for tho Indians on the plains. The Western Press, the publication of which was begun at Mercer at least 70 years ago, has been discontinued aud will be succeeded by tho Mercer County Demo craL The property and franchises of the Press have been purchased by the gentle men who propose the publication of tho jucmocrai, so mat in reality it is only a change of firm. Under the new condition W. H. Griffith, Ski able writer and faithful Democrat, will be the editor. Mk. Bkewster informed his Philadel phia audience Saturday night that Senator Cameron could not have defeated the nom ination of General Beaver at that conven tion if he had wished to. Just the same, when General Beaver was a candidate for the same office, before he had earned his 306 medal, he found himself singularly short of votes. And he was just as much of a one-legged soldier and Christian gen tleman then as now. The Press pleasantly reminds Mr. Pat tison that Gen. Beaver ha a largo sized chip on his shoulder. By the time our candidate gets through with the Stalwart pugilist, tho latter will scarcely foci liko thanking his lately recruited organ for bringing the subject forward so conspicu ously. By the way Mr. Beaver seems to be totally oblivious to the chip that Mr. Stewart has been parading ovor tho com monwealth for weeks past in the vain en deavor to gain tho notice of Mr. Cameron's candidate. And now, just as the people were getting reconciled to the division of their pet comet, the naval observatory people up and tell them that it's no such a thing and that our fiery visitor is just as good as new. If these astronomical fellows would just keep quiet and let people get up at four o'clock in tho morning to look at the long-tailed stranger, without being torn by these various soeintifio opinions, the world would bo no worse off, and tho experts would feel a good deal less foolish "Public office is a public tiust to be executed lor the benefit of the whole people, to whom alone officals owe their responsibility and of whose will they should bo the faithful exponents. When this conception of duty is lost sight of or modified, tho way is open for an im mediate, certain and constant degeneracy of tho public service. A merely mechan ical and negligent performance of official functions follows the obliteration of these standards of duty. This results from tho long continuance iu power of selfish poli tical leaders, and is a most serious evil in the public service." From Paulson's Com monwealth Club Speech. Let Benjamin Harris Brewster stand up and inform an anxious public why his opinion of J. Donald Cameron has under gone such miraculous change. In 1879, shortly after Don had "jostled his old father out of his place and thrust himself into the Senate," this samo Brewster drew the following pen picture of the erring Donald : "A man that has neither mind, attainment, dignity of character, knowledge of public affairs, party services or personal worth to warrant his advance ment, and who has no record but a bad one as an intriguer and manager of bad men." In Mamnerclioir garden, Philadel phia, ai tho Stalwart rally last Saturday evening, he spoko of the samo Don as one whom he knew to bo "a worthy and re spectable man." Iu tho interests of con sistency let Mr. Brewster tell us which of these opinions represent his real convic tions. It must be perfectly disgusting to Mr. Cameron when ho observes the largest iron manufacturers in the United States joining in tho revolt against the machino and figuring as officers or Democratic and Independent Republican meetings. Evi dently the blonde senator, who at the outset of the campaign threatened to let the tariff and the Republican party "all go to hell together," if Beaver wasn't elected, has failed to strike home in his subsequent attempt to bulldoze tho manu facturing interests by trying to show a base conspiracy against protection in which Stewart is playing chief bottle. holder to Pattison. The Phcunixville meeting on Saturday night, is a caso in point to which Gen. Beaver will no doubt give his attention when he sneaks to the people of Lancaster on the dangers that threaten the industrial interests of the state in the event of his defeat. A aiBE. HOBSKWHirrjSU.

Shut was arrest ed anil placed under bail. THE PHIPFS CASE. AKOTHKK WlAiVQH FOR TMK M AJOK. The Extradition Proceeding! in .Canada Decision Reserved Cull I Next Mon dayInvestigating .Election Frauds. No witnesses wero offered by the prosecution- Mr. Graham handing in the deposi tion, Mr. P. Myers, charging Phipps with forgery, the depositions of John A. Seeds, Walter L. Murphy, Murphy's father, Wil liam Januey, Charles R. McCauloy, a war raut clerk, and Robert S. Williamson, clerk of the board of guardians. These depositions were dated September 30, and the warrant and certificate of Judge Alli son, dated October 4. Of these papers the new ones wero the depositions of McCanley, Murphy, senior, and Williamson. The latter's deposition stated positively that Phipps forged signa tures of Seeds, ami Ferguson, and Mur phy, and Bellows, iu the presence of de ponent. Seeds', Murphy's and Bellows' depositions showed they had uot received the money on the warrants. Mr. Osier, counsel for Phipps, proposed to offer tes timony on three points : First, that Phipps was not guilty of the crime charged ; sec ond, that the offenso in tho indictments was not forgery according to tho code of Pennsylvania, but was a statutory offence ; third, that Williamson, clerk to tho board, was non compos mentis, and was incompe tent to give testimony. The judge finally excluded all testimony. Mr. Martin, for the other side, asked that Phipps be ex tradited upon the ground that all proper forms bad been carried out. Judge Sinclair reserved judgment until Monday, October 10, at 3 p. m., when ho will render a written opinion. I( is the general opinion that the decision will be favor of extradition His rulings all day were considered to indicate that ho was of tho same opinion as Chief Justice Hager ty, who at Sandwich, in the province of Ontario, commented upon the prompt ness with which the. .United States authorities surrendered without any legal quibbling criminals who fleo from Canada, and added that he hoped to live to seo tho day when Canadian authorities would act with the samo promptness in re turning criminals wanted in the United States and not, as at present, permit this country to be made a haven for crooks aud thieves from over the border. But if the decision should be as expected, that will bo but the first stage of tho game. A writ of habeas corpus may be taken out at any time within fourteen days, and tno caso go through half a dozen courts to the court of appeals. Exposing Klecllon Frauds. Magistrate Lander gavo hearings at the Central police court in Philadelphia to the parsons recently arrested in connection with the almshouse frauds. The first case called was that of Nicholas P. Barber, Henry Starr aud Thomas H. Smith, elec tion officers of tho Second division of the Twenty-seventh ward, charged with making fraudulent returns last February. Tho evidenco showed that after the box was sealed, David O. Young, messenger for Commissioner Dixey, brought an order to have the vote fixed that Major Phipps broke open the envelope and that ho and Snyder altered the ballots. Young said the order came from "Boss" Rowan. John Snyder, who gave the Com mittee of One Hundred information re garding the abuses at the institution, held the window book at the almshouse division last February, and had charge of tho voters of Blockley, sworo to Rowan saying ; " Unless this is chauged tho Re formers will bavo a representation in tho school board." Major Phipps remarked : " If this can bo done it must be." The accused wero placed under $1,000 bail each. John W. Parke, charged with con spiracy in regard to tallow alleged to have been furnished tho institution this year, was hold in $5,000 bail for trial. PERSONAL. 31ns.

What Uood Is to ha Found in a Finint Pennsylvania Politician Mr. Charles A. Dana's Opinion or Bis Friend. Hon. Simon Cameron and Mr. James Duffy, of this county, have lately been visiting Mr. Chas. A. Dana, of the New York Sun. The Cameron dynasty has re ceived and still receives some very severe blows from that paper, but the following editorial from its issue of yesterday shows that tho genial editor does not allow his political feeling to influence his personal relations. He has long been a friend of Cameron and thus writes of him and the good that is in him : "The venerable Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania has been in this neighbor hood during the last few days paying visits to some of his personal friends. At the age of 84 he is as hale and vigorous as 4 he has retired from active participation in puuuu auairs, ne waicnes men develop ment with intense interest, and with a judgment as clear and as wise as ever. "There are three conspicuous facts in tho public history of Mr. Cameron which will certainly form for him an imperisha ble distinction in future years. " The first of these facts is that when ho was secretary of war in Mr. Lincoln's cabinet, he recognized the fall force of the truth that slavery was the turning point of the great struggle ; and accord ingly, ho was the very first to propose that negroes should be employed as sol diers iu the Union army. " Another of these facts is that at the close of bis long period of service as a senator of the United States, he opposed the electoral commission, plainly declar ing to his Ropublicau intimates in the Senate that it was inliuitely better that the Republican party should go out of power and that Mr. Tilden and the Dem ocrats should como in. Tho people had so decided in tho election ; and ho held that to retaiu the administration and the offices through any cunning devices against the will of the people, could only lead to subsequent disaster. It is not too much to say that tho sequel has moro than vin dicated tho soundness of this honest judg ment. How many Republican statesmen there aro who now heartily wish they had followed it ! "And finally, wo recall tho fact that throughout his protracted career, Mr. Cameron has probably done more aots of individual kindness, and has helped more people who needed help, irrespective of all distinctions of sects, or party, or pre vious condition of servitude, than any other American of his day. " Wo think that these things form a valid claim upon the admiration of men ; and long may this aged statesman remain among us to enjoy that popular esteem and sympathy which ho so remarkably deserves." KNUI.K'.S MATKIB1UM1AL. TKOUBI.KS. The Philadelphia Iron Broker, is Held la uall on Serious Charges. Charles . M. Engle, formerly au iron broker in Philadelphia, was arrested on Saturday on a charge of having commit ted adultery with Anna Hippie, a young woman, formerly from Harrisburg.

Mr. Crane stated that tho grading of the road would be commenced as soon as possible and pushed forward to completion as fast as it could be dono.

The Barytas Beetle, Alias Carrion Beetle. , Tha word Nearopaoro is derived from two Greek words signifying a demd body, and a carrier: and is applied to a penna at (beetles named Ntcrophorus, ot which mere are aoouc twenty species in the United States, that have been de scribed, named and catalogued. They belong to the family Silphida, called after Silpha, the typical genus of the family group, an arbitrary term, perhaps, of which the derivation is not clear. la plain English the different genera of tho family are usually denominated "scavenger beetles," and they perform an important function in the eoonomyof nature. This mild October' weather revives them and brings them abroad ; and to-day (6th) one was captured by the senior reporter of the Intelligencer and placed in our pos session. This is NecTophorvs Marginal, about an inch in length, in color black, with transverse orange marks on the wing covers. The individuals of this genus are commonly called " sexton beetles," or ' burying beetle " from a singular habit they have of burying the substances in which they deposit their eggs. Perhaps I ought also to state that the name of " car rion beetle " has been very generally ap plied to the family, and wherever there is a putrid carrion exposed there you may find them, their eogeners and their more remote family relatives. But the genus Necrophorus has a peculiar habit that does not pervade the whole family. If the carcass is large, for instance, that of a horse, ox, sheep, swine, dog &c, these beetles will mako no attempt to bury it ; except, perhaps, a small detached portion of it. But when it finds the dead carcass of a toad, a rat, a mouse, or a small bird, it' forthwith commences to bury it in which labor the sexes unite. They dig out the earth from under it, aid when the carcass sinks down a little below the surrounding level, . they cover it with tho earth removed in making tho excava tion. Into this midus thaeggs nrode po8ited,the larva) aro hatched and matured. Exposed to the hot sun and the rapid do composition assisted by the various species of "Blow-flies," their larvic could not becomo fully developed, and hence would perish. Thero aro districts in Mexico and South America, where carrion-beetles are not known ; tho air is so pure and dry, that carcasses become "jerked" or dryed, before decomposition takes place. Our beetle buries the carcass to- prolongo de composition. Tho namo of "Buzzard beetle" suggested by the aforesaid repor ter, would bo appropriate ; because as a scavenger and for its size it will compare With lm riiiT " 1 with tho "Buz. R. mount joy.
