GEORGE SHARSWOOD, PHILADELPHIA The Congressional Vacancy, The "Loyal Leaguers" are very much troubled about our next member of Con gress ; and are busy manufacturing re ports about candidates on our side. But Democrats' are not likely to be cheated by any, radical tricks, and their newspaper squibs should be disregarded. The ene my have no hope of electing their candi date; but would like very much to see some " no-party" trickster or" loyal Dem ocrat" receive the Democratic nomina tion, so as to play the Wilmot and Grow trick with the district. The Democracy have only to nominate a candidate from among their sound men, and the traders who vainly sought, by both open and covert means, to defeat Mr. Denison, will continue to be disap pointed. ' Give us a sound man, and an able one, and we will win another real victory in October. Iff - The Radical State Convention of South Carolina, at its recent meeting, adupted a resolution demanding that the negrues shall be represented by one of their black race on the next Presidential ticket of that party. This is a cold bath to the Radicals of Pennsylvania, who were afraid to put even a mild negro-suf frage resolution in their State platform. The Secretary of War. The President has asked E. M. Stanton to resign ; but he refuses to do so until Concrress meets. This calls to mind the debate pending the passage of the tenure-of-office bill.— Sherman, of Ohio, then said : I take it that no case can arise, or is likely to arise, where a Cabinet Minister will di-sire to hold on to his office af ter his chief desires his removal. I a can scarcely conceive of such a case. I Oink that ni:ir gentleman, no man with Any sense of honor, would hold a posi tion as a cabinet ofr_atiftrial§ ch:111-(141-• , at 1....7a7.74111111 — mr. part 0 the resi dent wou'd always secure the resignation of a Cabinet officer. For this reason I do not want to jeopard this bill by an un iinportant and collateral question. * * Apd if I supposed that - either of these gentlemen was so wanting in manhood, in honor, as to hold his place after the po litest intimation by the President •a the United States that bis services were no longer needed, I certainly, as a Senator, would consent to his removal at any time, and so would we all." If Stanton is a gentleman he should read Sherman's remarks. District Politics. We copy from the Montrose Republican aR hereunder: • "The Scranton Republican says that the Democracy of Luzerne are agitating the nomination of R. B. Little, of Montrose, for additional law judge of Luzerne Co., expecting thereby to quiet all opposition to the selection of a congressional candi date from Luzerne. The Republican says: `Judge Woodward has authorized the withdrawal of his name from the list of contestants for congressional nomination. Jep. Stark' is now considered the 'coming man.' The faithful in Susquehanna Co. must remain out in the cold.'" Judge Woodward is in Europe, and does not know aught of this matter ; and tbe whole item is idle gossip. The Lnzerne Union says: "Slum. TRICK. —The papers of ' z .the hlockbelid'• party are circulating a report that Judge Woodward has declined the nomination for Congress. Such is not the ease—whether be will or not, if offer ed to him, remains to be seen. The blockheads' are getting wondrous smart!" Impeachment Conspiracy! In the daily papers of Saturday will be found an official document from the At torney-General, communicating to the President the details of a most infamous and diabolical conspiracy alleged to have lbeen formed between Charles A. Dunham, better known as Sanford Conover, and certain prominent members of Congress, (Ashley, Butler, & Co.) for the purpose of manufacturing and procuring testimony implicating the Executive in the assassi natjon of Abraham Lincoln. The,charac ter of this testimony is well calculated to awaken public attention to the desperate purposes of the men now leading the dominant party of the country. —The State election in Kentucky Mon day passed off quietly. It resulted in a Democratic victory.—The majority of the Democrats is estimated at from 45,000 to 60,000. Legacy and Succession Taxes. The appended abstract of the law and decisions relative to Legacy and Succes sion taxes covers some of the most im portant points, and is published as a matter of public information. By "Legacy taxes" are meant the taxes upon personal property, whether the same be legacies devised by will, or distributive shares arising from a legal division of property among heirs-at-law. "Succession taxes" are those levied up on real estate, whether belonging to an estate, or passing_ hg deed of gift, &c., during the life of the owner. LEGACY TAXES The estates of all persons who died after July Ist, 1862, are liable to the legacy tax, provided the whole amount divided among all the heirs exceeds $lOOO. But the share of the husband or wife of the deceased is exempt from this tax; also the share of a minor child of the de ceased is exempt, unless such share ex ceeds $lOOO, in which ease the excess is taxable. Where a sum of money is left in trust, the annual interest to be paid to one per son during life, the principal to revert to another, both the annuity and remainder are taxable upon their present value. Executors, administrators, ttc., having charge of personal property for d/stribu- Lion, shall give notice of that fact in writing, to the assessor, or an assistant assessor, within thirty days; and before making payment or distribution of such money or property to heirs, shall make return thereof, under oath, to the assessor, and pay the tax. Rate of tax, from 1 to 6 per cent.; the tax to be by the administrator filom the shares. In case a voluntary return and payment of tax be not made, the assessor shall make an assessment; 'and in case of wilful neglect or refusal of those having control of an ,estate to make return and pay the tax, they shall be liable to a fine of not exceeding sloo—together with the tax, costs, &c. Any one assuming control over the property of a deceased person, bears all the responsibility of an administrator. This tax is a lien upon property for 20 years, unless the same be sooner paid. SUCCESSION TAXES The real estate of persons who died after June 30, 1864, is liable to Succession tax, without reference to the value of the same. If real estate be sold, the funds arising thereetom for distribution, are li able to Succession tax, and the adminis trator or trustee , shall give notice, make returns, and pay the tax, as in case of Legacy tax, under penalty of 6500, costs, If,personal property be left in trust to be invested in real estate, it is liable to Succession tax, to be paid by the person having it in charge. Real estate passing by deed of gift, &c., (as from parent to child,) without full payment for the same, is liable, at once, I Lands belonging to estates of those who died after June 30, 1864, are not ex empt from Succession tax, although a deed of gift may have been executed prior to that date, provided the same did not fully take effect until after that date. Lands belonging to egtates of those who died prior to June 30, 1864, but which were left encumbered, (as with life interest of a widow,) are subject to Sue cession tax where encumbrance termi nated after that date. Persons liable to Succession tax, shall, within 30 days front the time of becoming entitled to possession of the real estate or the profits thereof, give notice of that fact to the assessor, make return, and pay the tax, or be liable to penalty, expenses, &c. Rate of Succession taxes, from 1 to 6 per cent.; which tax is a first lien upon the land for five years, unless sooner paid. Bold Theft. On Wednesday night of last week, when the 7 o'clock train from Scranton arrived at the West Pittston depot, it was some minutes ahead of time. While the train stood there d man was seen to get off and walk deliberately into the hail and up the front stairs of the Luzerne House; as he passed in he spoke politely to those sitting in the hall and on the poro. H e first opened the door of Mrs. Raynsford's room, who being in, inquired his business. He made no answer, but immediately backed out and passed hastily towards the stairs, but opening all the room.doors on his way. Coming at length -to the room of Mr. Eugene Thayer, stepped in and helped himself to a suit of good clothes, worth Some £350, took a news paper and deliberately laid it down on the ball floor, wrapped up the clodies, passed down and out to the train without exciting the least curiosity from any of the several persims sitting at the time in the hall and on the porch. All saw him, but his actions appeared to he so com posed that all supposed, until the theft was discovered, that it was some one get ting something from the house which be bad a right to. He went to Wilkes-Barre on the train nil stopped at the Steele Hotel, where be stole from Mr. Wm. Con ner, of Wyoming, a satchel worth $3OO, and took passage ; on the Lehigh (t. Sus quehanna and is understood to have gone to Match Chunk. He is sup posed to be an ; accomplished city sneak thief. Look out for him.—Pittston Gaz. —The Radicals of New Jersey held an "Impartial Suffrage Convention." at Treoto4, on the 22d, and committed the party to that State fully and squarely to the principle of negro suffrage and equality. Resolutions approving the execution of Maximilian, and nominating General Grant for President, were offered and laid upon the table. There will be fun in the pine woods when this question of raising the negro to an equality with white men is presented to the people of New Jersey. Tt) Union Pacific Rail .Road. OPEN 425 mILBS.7 A few weeks since we noticed the open ing of the Union Pacific Railroad to Jules burg, 377 tomes weet of Omaha, and we now have to report its completion to Crow Creek, a point 48. tniles further west, making a total of 42.5 miles. Fifty miles of track in addition pre graded ready for the iron, and there is no doubt of the completion of the road to the base of the Rocky Mountains early in the Fall. The Company are confident that the whole line to the Pacific will be open for busi ness in 1870. The Indians have annoyed the surveying parties and tie-cutters, who are many hundred miles in advance of the work; but they have a wholesome fear of the population that a railroad carries with it, and all trains run without interruption. The business of the Company has been most flattering. The earnings for the quarter ending August Ist, Iyere about 8700,000; but as the report "for the last week in July has not been received, the exaot fraction cannot be given. These earnings accrued from operating an aver age of not more than 350 miles of road, and after deducting operating expenses, the balance is far in excess of the interest obligations of the Company on the amount of bonds they can issue on that distance. It should be remembered that this result is from a way business alone, through a new country, and is not to be compared with the vast thraugh business that must follow the opening of the whole line to the Pacific. The success of the enterprise seems to be thoroughly assured, and we can see no reason why the First Mortgage Bonds are not entitled to rank among the best securities. The daily sales are now so large, that the Company already enter tain the idea of advancing the price. Drinking Ice Water. It, is claimed by some physicians that the universal American habit of drinking ice-water is a very injurious one as re gards the ultimate health of the individual. Pouring so much cold water into the stomach chills it, and directly leads to that most horrible of diseases, dyspepsia. It disturbs the circulation, introduces heart deseases, and causes other woeful physical condition. In Europe, light wines, ales, beers aud, among the temper ate, sugar water is the drink. There we find clear complection, robust health, sound judgment, and good common sense. In this country the health seems to be the last thing thought about, and no sense at all is used upon the snbject. OP — Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of the Radicals in Pennsylvania, seeing the signs of the times and knowing that his party's stock is at a heavy discount, lately gave expression to his tears in the following language : I fear that we shall lose Pennsylvania this next election. I do not think we have earnestness enough in the State to Arength, While the Republican portion of our Legislature has been so openly, noto riously, and shamefully corrupt, that all the honest people in the State are dishear tened and disgusted. —There would be two hundred and forty-two members of the House of Repre sentatives if all the members from all the States a ere present. Of these only one hundred members voted to pass the des potism bill over the veto. As a two thirds vote, or one hundred and sixty odd members, are required to reject a veto, it became more fully apparent what a mis erable rump now controls .the destinies of the country. —Nineteen millions of dollars were coined at the United States Branch Mint at San Francisco during the fiscal year ending Jnne 30. —Great distress prevails in the country surrounding Unadilla, N. Y., consequent on the failure of the Unadilla National Bank. One woman, a widow, has, it is said, become insane over her losses, and another has attempted to commit suicide. —Col. J. M. Neibling was nominated Postmaster at Findley, Ohio, by the Presi dent last week. He was rejected by the' Senate. He lost an arm at Chickasaw Mountain. This rejection shows how the Republicans are paying a "lasting debt of gratitude" to the soldiers. —Waldo F. Davie, the late postmaster at Van Wert, Ohio against whose re moval the Rump Senate took decided grounds at its late session, has been com mitted to prison on a charge of embez zling money from letters. —The New York Constitutional Con vention, which is largely composed of Radicals, refused to insert a clause in the Constitution disfranchising deserters. Did they refuse because it would hit too many Radical voters. —The Rump at its extra seesion, re jected Col. J. M. Neibling, an one-armed soldier, as postmaster at Findley, Ohio. More gratitude (1) —The citizens of West Chester have bad executed a bust of General Anthony Wayne, of revolutionary fame, which they intend placing in the Court-house at that place. —The Springfield, Mass., Republican, a straightly partisan sheet, condemns its party for their radical measures ana con fesses, just now, that it is ashamed of the result in Tennessee and the way the elec .., tion was carried. —Sanford Conover, who was convicted of perjury before the Judiciary Commit tee of the Rouse of Reprbsentatives, when they were investigatin* an alleged com plicity of Jefferson Davis in the assassina tion conspiracy, has' been taken to the Albany Penitentiary, to which be' was sentenced for ten years. Corr e imp coaci ixoe. Letter from Delaware. Mn, EDITOR:— Great changes have taken place since I saw you one year ago last January, and ordered your paper sent to me at Milford, Del. Rev. 'Willard Richardson .(formerly School Supt. of Sus quehanna C 0.,) and myself then located :At this place, on the Junction and Break water R. R. A place without a Elaine, and occupied only by tenants it now has a name, a H. It station arid a post office, three new houses, three families, and plenty of room for more. I have made over two miles of new road, have two miles more to build, all of which are at right angles and parallel with the R. R., which here runs east and west. We have one of' the finest locations to be found, and are luxuriating on au.. abundance of the finest of fruit. We 'commenced with strawberries the 23rd of May, and have not been without fresh fruit a day since, such as raspberries, blackberries, whortle berries, as well as cultivated fruits, cher ries, curr.ints, &c. Peaches are just now getting ripe; a few have been sent to market, and next week a good many will be shipped. The peach crop will be larve. One th in (Mr. Yardley of .Milford, Mr. VanVoorst of Jersey City, and a dealer N.Y.,) have bought largely. They ex pect to pay $3OOO freight on what they have bought. The Del. R. R. Co. esti• mite the freight on the peaches to pass over their road this season at $500,000. The peach crop on one farm near here is sold (the buyer to pick them,) for $5OOO. Seven years ago the whole farm (225 acres,. trees all set,) could have been bought. for $BOOO. Three years ago the peach crop sold for $lO,OOO, and two years ago for $3,000, the buyers clearing $2,200; last year no crop. Land he' is badly used from constant cropping with corn, (not slAve labor, as many assert). The R. R., which has been built to Milford 7 years, and is now being extended to Lewis, will cause the country to improve faster than all the emancipation proclamations that ever emanated from the Republican party. Peaches, pears, grapes, and all the small fruits can be profitably raised here./ Our first strawberries sold iu N. Y. at 430 cts. per quart; our late ones at 20 cts. The earliest from Jersey brought only about 30 cts. Wheat does well here. Mr. Yard ley (from a farm which 7 years ago did not produce 5 bhls. of corn per acre,) has harvested and sold $lOOO worth, and has plenty for seed and family use for a year to come. To you and all my old Susque hanna friends I would say, leave your rocks and hills and come down and see our fertile fields, where neither rocks nor hills impede the plow, and we will shake down the peaches and roll in the melons till you are satisfied.

Now, if ever, we need a competent and fearless man in Congress,—fearless, yet fearing-to do wrong—actuated by higher motives than those of self and party, unless they are in harmony with principle and right. Then a , i Detnocrats of Susquehanna Con nlv, why not now declare unanimously for Alr. Little? There may be other good men, but is there a better?

Have we the precious metal in sufficient quantities to make it an object to invest capital in developing the same, among the Tunkhannock mountains? is now the all important question. The circulars thrown out will show the organization of a t ompauy with a capital of 6500,000, under a charter from the State of New York, to develope and work the same. I am satisfied that in times of great and numerous humbugs, it is difficult to convince the more cautictis to invest mo ney on paper show, and which is all right, when we are so liable to deception. But let me assure the public that the ewe ment of assays from Barber & Wykoff, of New York, are true to -the letter; the facts being reported at the time to myself and others; also of the mineral paints which to all appearance are inexhaustable. I can also affirm that we have gold ta• ken cem the rocks of this township, be ing present when it was taken, and can be seen at the Co ' s Office at Lord's Hotel, Nicholson village. E. N. BACON, Nicholson, Aug. 10, 1867. r =1:=1 AN EX CRAORDINARY CONFESSION.-A late number of the Springfield Republican, (Radical) contains the following extraor dinary confession: "Discussion of principles in connection with Southern reconstruction is now of little account. We are trying a bold ex perinieut, outside of Conbtltutional pre scriptions and accredited theories of gov ernment, which success alone must justify; but Congressmen very naturally seek for some theoretical defense of their action, and quite as naturally disagree widely. ad to what that theory may be." —The Radicals of the New York con stitutional convention are afraid to submit the negro suffrage question to the people by itself, but, insisted on incorporating it with the entire new constitution, hoping that, by thus enveloping the disgusting pill in a large amount of sugar, they may be able to i nduce the people to swallow it.
