FiLsoos.—The home correspondent oldie Wre.ffitie
ton Star makes the following explanation al the al.
legmleilstom House frauds in SAO Fraticyco :
A Califomia•nevrepaper, received b 3 the Treas
ury Department, states that the grand jury of San
fraltEisE o has found a true bill of indictment against
Col. James Collier, first Collector at thatport„ chary,-
mg' hien with havirg misappropriated some $300,-
600 of the public funds; also, that a similar indict.
Arent wasexpected to be found against T. finder
King, who succeeded Colonel Colliar.iiharging him
with the'nfisapplication of about $lOO 000.
It is not tree, f believe, that the Department has
received any official not.fication ot the loess, or
any information on the subject, except that contain.
ed. in The newspapers referred to. Some months
since the Department pent out to San Franciwo, by
she present Collector (Major Hammond) such e vi
deuce erre hail in its possession, with directions to
A ltair s eil%e subject brought before the grand jury, tl
the evidence transmitted, and such atliitional evi
dence as was expected to be obtained, was deem•
oil sufficient to procure the indictments. This se
tion of the Department was kr;pt a profound secret
until to day.
, Colonel Collier's accounts hate never been ml.
jrited" by the Department. He acknowledges.hay.
ing in his possession moneys belonging to the Unit
ad States, but hail steadily retuned to pay them offer,
emit the Department ehoehl allow him eestain sus
pended items charrit against him. From the first,
however, he declared Lis readiness to stand a suit
and abide the issue, whatever it milt be. ft seems
the Department preferred to take the more sum
mary method of a criminal prosecution, which will
probably end in smoke„
Perhaps the prosecution in Mr. King's case rests
upon a similar basis.

The Democratic:handing Com
mi nee for Bradford County will
meet at the Ward House, in this
borough, on Thursday, August 71, 1853, at 2 - o'clock
P. ht. The attendance of the members is earnestly
requested. The following named persona compose
said committee—E. 0. Goodrich, F. Orwati,W. H.
Overton, Eurne Keeler, H. C. Fox, W. B. Guthrie,
Jonn M'Afahon, Elmore Horton. C. F. Nichols.
E. 0. GOODRICH, Chairman.
July ?.1,1853.
Hon. JOhn C. Knox.
It will be seen by the proceedings of the . Demo
cratic State Convention, that this gentleman has
been nominated for the Supreme Bench by wee-.
matiou. This is a deserved compliment to his ap
pointment by Gov. BIGLER, as well as a high testi
monial to exalted worth. Judge KNox is one of
those men whose whole past life will stand up tlnd
plead for him in the mind of every thinking
Zen. He has risen, by help of his undaunted ener
gy and unblemished integrity, from a youth of ob.
amity, to a manhood that ranks him at this day,
among the foremost men of the State. We affirm,
that among that,em incur body of Jurists which the
Democratic party.has selected from its ranks, to sit
upon the Supreme Bench of the State, Judge Knox
will shine as a star of the first magnitude. He is
indeed above reproach ; and in his unanimous no
mination, he has received a fitting compliment
heretofore unpaid to any man. If his life isapared—
and he is just in the prime and vigor of it—his elec
tion will be as certain, as that the 2d Tuesday of
October will arrive.
MINT AND MINTAGE—JAMBS Ross SNOWDEN, the
Director of the Mint, under the sanction oldie 7th
section of the act of March 3, 1853, authorizing new
devices fur the silver coinage of the United States.
and with the approval of the Secretary of the Trea
sury, officially invites the co-operation of artists,
engravers, and other persons of taste, to aid him in
effecting the object, and requests such as may be
so disposed to forward to him, before the first day
of Octob3r next, such designs as they may deem
appropriate to that coinage.
Mr. Snowden also gives notice that impartial ex
amination* will be madeof the designs which may
be furnished rr► aecortrabee with this request; and
for thole three which shall appear best fitted to the
object in view, a competent anci liberal remunera
lion w ill be made.
Tut Ftstixav QUF.STION.—The following are the
demands which the British government hate made
upon ours as the conditions of the settlement of the
fishery question. The extravagance of the demands
are only exceeded by the impudence that dated to
propose them :
tat 'This admission of British bad( vessels to ihe
privilege of American Register.
2d. The free admission of the British flag to the
coasting trade between the American, Atlantic and
Pacific Ports.
31. The abortion of out present bounties to the
American Cod fishery.
4th. A further modification of our Tarafr—ot
course with a view to favor - British interests. And
sth. The original demand of reciprocity of trade
with-the North American colonies
Now are not these moderate and modest! To
grant them would be in direct and obvious opposi
tion to the interests of out agriculturists, our manu
facturers, our ship-owners ani our fishermen.

.fthun the appearance, of disuflection
from . such r a cause . The great public has tit the
feast Sympathy for theth. Their immediate blends
may regret their disappointinent, but what do the
masa of the people care for the mustontines of an of
fice seeker. If he gets fired with patriotic indigna•
twit and finds fault, it is only, necessary for some
wag to'itiggCst that lie'didn't get an office, and his
complaints are laughed. at. Objections from Such a
sotirce,' however well founded, lose their force frotn
the selfishness that prompts them. The disappoin•
Led patriot may indeed overlook his own loss, and
be vety disinterested in his criticisms, but the pub
lie will nut believe so.
Unselfish support of principle will only cram mond
the respect and.an Futon of men. To be sure, we
have no occasion I 1 trialtryS jinn now, and it is g er .
erally agreed that tie who has worked well should
fare well in the distribution of honors ; but if he
worked.tor' pay, arid claims' it for his services he
loses all merit Inaba eyes of the public; and if lie
begins to denounCe.his party suet an unsuccessful
application:for office, he gives too much evidence ot
his mercenary disposition. His party, the mass
will judge, is none the worse because he didn't get
office: Truth does not become falsehood for his
misfortunes: Measures don't change their charac
ter becausehe has no hand in carrying them out.
The thousands who support parties don't look for
office. They have no interest but in the success of
principlei and measures they believe to be correct;
and they have not the least respect for the man
who-ts-zealous for pay, and who is patriotic for
spoils.
A man of good taste will keep his chagrin upon
a failure to get office for himself: He will not in•
cur the imputation which is sure to attach to his
fault finding, whether justly or riot.
These dissatisfactions will count nothing to pub.
lie estimation, unless an administration shall per
form no higher duties than giving out offices. It
mast stand upon its public policy; if it meets pub.
lie expec ations in its higher functions,
it may safe.
ly disregard all that office seekers can do to molest
or overthrow it.
The present administration can only develop° its
policy when Congress assembles. All clamor be.
forehand is idle. That there will be an opposition
when this policy is developed, we have no doubt.
Criticisms then will be material and worth attend
ing to.

Judge Knox—,A Merited Tribute.
vlr. Jackson, of Carbondale, in this State, who
served two years in the Legislature with Judge
Knox, pays the following merited tribute to his
ability, character and worth, in a letter, to the Car
bondale Citizen:
Mr. Eorron:—Sir—l perceive Gov. Bigler has
again displayed his good judgment by supplying
the place of the late lamented Judge Gibson, of the
Supreme Bench, now deceased, by the appointment
of the Hon. Judge Knox, of Tiog a . During the
Sessions °ENG and '47, I had the tonor of forming
his acquaintance by being seated, during the Sea.
Non, nest his elbow. He was plant and unassum
ing in manner, attentive to the business that ini•
mediately concerned his constituents, and also kept
a good look oat for the general interests of the State
Being an adtroctite'ol progressive Democracy, he
was brought forward for Speaker of the House, and
received every Democrslic vote; but, as the De
mocrais were in the minority, Mr. Cooper, IYhig ;
Was elected in his place. Courteous in hii man
nese, and ever ready to lend assistance to junior
members of either House, he was surrounded by
(fiends of both politieal parties. Judge Knox is
yet a young man—not yet having arrived at what
may be termed the meridian of life—and bids fair
to be one of the brightest ornaments of the Old Key.
atone. Should he receive a nomination in the
State Convention, (which no doubt he will.) it lite
is spared, I shall give him my hearty support. If
honesty and industry combined with clear jiidg•
ment, is a passport worth having, Judge Knox will
receive the votes of the masses of the people.
Yours, &c., N. JACKSON.

On Friday and Saturday, the same disease • made
its appearance in gmmittsburg and carried off six
victims, among whom were Jacob Clupind, Gen.
Mentzer, and Joseph Morris, leaving also [many
others sick, with scarcely a prospect of recovery.
The disease hes also spread into the country ; from
Williamsport, and there had been several deaths at
