General Patoni. Assassinated-:s'ensation
Over the Reported Purchase of Sinaloa by
the United States—Lasoda Issues a Pro

CB9 Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.l
SAN, FRANCISCO, September 3.—Mazatlan
adyices, August 25th, say: Patoni was as
sassinated on August 18th, in the city of
Durango, by the officers and staff of Gener
al Canto, commanding the garrison. Pato
ni had been ordered by Canto to report t o
the military headquarters, and not comply
ing immediately, he was shot dead in the
house of his friends. - This caused a strong
feeling against Gen. Canto. On receint of
the news, Gen. Carona dispatched a courier
with official instructions to the authorities,
ordering Gen. Querar to take command of
Durango,, and arrest and imprison the offi
cers connected with the assassination, in
cluding Canto. It is feat cd the latter will
pronounce against Corona and the supreme
government, rather thap submit to arrest.
The reported purchase of Sinaloa by Mr.
Seward created a sensation au►ong the office
holders. They oppose the sale, bat own
ers of the property and the great mass of
the people would. welcome the:Armtrimns.
The Press of the country is alarmed about
reports of filibustering movements from
Cuba, New Orleans, Rio- Grande, and the
--
I Pacific Coast..
Santa Anna, Lasuida and Marquez are
said to understand each others movements . ;
and are deierminad to destroy the Juarez
government. Lasods is reported to have
issu.-d a strong pronunciamento agaist the
general government, declaring himself free
and independent.' He has immense stores
of war material, and it is believed the gov
ernment dare not'attack him.
WASHINGTON TOPICS AND GOSSIP
It is true that Mr. Binckley has taken
affidavits in New York which show that
Commissioner Rollins is guilty of collusion
with Collector Smythe in regard to pre
venting the collection of Internal Revenue
taxesin the Eighth District, but no warrants
have yet been issued for either Mr. Rollins
or" Mr. Harlan, his Assistant. It is be
lieved that the matter will be referred first
to the Attorney General, and he - will issue
the warrants of arrest if he thinks proper.
Mr. Rollins treats the affair with indiffer
ence.-
Major Munro has been appointed Asses
sor for the Second District of Ohio. The
trouble between McCulloch and Rollins,
relative to the appointment of Supervisors,
will never besettled; every conference puts
them farther apart.
The case of O'Neill, who was appointed
United Sates District Attorney at Philadel
phia, presents some knotty questions, and
the Attorney Geneial is not yet able to give
a decialoff in the matter. -
• _ •
The Attorney General decides that com
promise eases arising under the new tax
law must be settled by. the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, but he may, ask
vice of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Solicitor of his Bureau, or of the Attorney
General. ,
There no longer remains any d;•ubt as to
.the position of. Secretary McCulloch on the
Presidential cluesthin. In conversation
with a prominent official a few days ago, -
he said he could no longer hesitate as to
what course to pursue, but should give his
support, and whatever official patronage be
could control, to elect Seymour and Blair.
At the same time he expressed regrets that
he was forced td this position and com
.pe'led to"'unite with the party that had
brought so much trouble to the country.
He denounced, In' str‘,ng terms, the finan
cial plank of the Democratic platform, and
said •if it was carried out it..woald cer
tainly b•lng financial ruin to the country.
The only objectionable plank In the
Republican platform was that relating to
reconetructlon, but as this was paramount
at the preseht.time to' everything elsoi ho
preferred uniting himself with the Demo
cratic party, with its ruinous financial pol
icy, JO giving hiasuppcit to a . party. which
imposed such Conditions on the Southern
'Suites as war done by the Republicans in
their reconstrisetion measures. These are
briefly Mr. McCulloch's viewer's expressed
to the gentleman who informs your corre
epoodent. tlt seems 'clear . that if Mr. Mc-
Culloch was uninfluenced by the President,
he would be found among the supporters of
Grant, but under Johnson's dictation he ham•
apccumbed, - and thrown his intluence.and
vast officialpatrorutge of the Treasury De l
pertinent to Make the Seymour ticket a
success... , .- • • ,
Recent front Northville, Ten

excites no 'little comment i. among , the
friends of President Johnson. They assert

GEN. CHARLES W. ROBERTS, of Bangor,
who is speaking in the Democratic interest
in Penobscot county, Maine said in a recent
speech:"Take out the churches and the
temperance societies, and there will be noth

THE Seymour and Blair Club of Wash- ,
ington had a thoughtful time the other night
over a letter from a negro in North Caro
lina asking whether negro votes for the Dem
ocratic candidate would really be received.
There was some reluctance manifested about
opening a correspondence with negroes.
THE Boston Daily Advertiser has the •fol
lowing letter from A' literary g,entlemffil of
this State who voted for Douglas and Mc-

JUDGE ALEXANDER RITES, of Virginia,
has come out earnestly for Grant and Col
fax. He has long been a Conservative.
The letter from Hon. J. S. Carlisle, of Vir
ginia, giving his reasons for abandoning the
Democracy, is a strong document. Regard
ing the work of the'Democratic Convention,
it says: It is my opinion that Hendricks
was defeated because be was not a believer
in the right of secession. The war record
of Hancock defeated him. Mr. Vallandig
ham's patriotism nominated , Seythour and
crushed the astdrations of the Chief Justice.
The friends of thelost eautriumphed over
Unionismthe of! the "Con ention, and the
strife of the battlefield is t be renewed and s
to be fought out at the ball t box.
Tim, Philadelphia Ledger, an- independent
journal of strong Democratic pfoclivities,
says :
Mr. S. S. Cox, in a recent speech at
Poughkeepsie, spoke at some length on
financial questions, and declared that he
would never consent to issue for any pur
pose "this miserable, debauched currency,"
and•said further: "I like the chink of the
old Bentonian legal-tender. If we are to
have paper let us make it worth as much as
its face in gold sterling coin, and we shall
be out of our trouble about the bond ques
tion." .This is as forcible as true, and if
every aspirant to Congr, essional honors will
adopt the same tone and sentiment, the bond
.question, which now threatens national dis
grace, will adjust itself as honorably as
easily.
The German Republicans
The. Philadelphia Post says: The Nation
al Republican Club, of which we spoke
yesterday, is 'doing even more good than
we had thought. It has quietly perfected
the best organization the Germans of Phila
delphia have ever had. Under its direction
German clubs have been established in.
every ward of the city, with a membership
of from fifty to two hundred each:. Next
Saturday night these clubs will hold a grand
meeting at the National Guards' Hall, and
will be addressedby Gem Carl. Schurz, one
of their ablest leaders. On Monday they
will have a Republican pie-nic. This is
- what they are doing in the city, and we
know that such systematic and energetic
work must add thousands to our Republican
vitae.
• Thea War made Republicans of thousands
of German Democrats, who abandoned a
party which betrayed the Government. In
every State theSe men will wield vast in
fluence. The German Grant and Colfax
Campaign Club of New York have just
issued an eloquent address to their country
men who served in the Union army. The
address declares that the choice is between
Grant and Blair, and asks if veteran soldiers
will support the man who has renounced
their standard: "Are the veterans goitig to
vote to have themselves and their sons once
more beat their plowshares into swords,
and shed their blood, in a new /civil war,
and to have the nation barter away its honor
by acting the part of a thief toward its credi
tors, thus leaving an-inheritance.of want
and wretchedness to our children, and chil
dren's children ? Veterans, are these, the
fruits which you ,want to reap frorn your
victories? The old battle-flag waves high
again, and the hero who led you to victory,
he it is, who bears again before you to the
front. Once more, rally around hiin. Rise
up once more as one , man and follow him),
for victory follows in his path l" TheSe are
noble words, and will have countless echoes
from the brave Germans:who fought for
their adopted country. • - _
