B. BOrroa at Frankfort, 87+. ' GOLD closed in New York yesterday at 1841. Ix mot , of the injudicious treatment of the situation by the Pittsburgh Post, it will not be soxprising if the Democracy of -Western Pennsylcsania accept our kind offer, to take the exclusive managemint of the political interests of their favorite -candidate for nomination as Governor. We shill make an effort to deserve their impfidence. - Tim recent exposure of the scandalous :practices of certain journalists in New York and Philadelphia has undoubtedly uurpriami the public, and to some extent, the memberSof 'the American press gen •erally. We cannot congratulate the ac 'eased journalists upon the success with which they have / attempted to explain Atm the very serious imputations against -them. Their-statements are even less fa -Totable for tlibmselves than the original changes, since they substantially confess these to be true. It is ver, likely that farther revelations are yet to be made. We haven respect for the personal motives which have 'animated these scan- Aeons publications, but we are obliged to accept the facts. As to these, there can well be but one opinion. The case is un !lumpily too clear for discussion. Since the press has been disgraced by unworthy -members, let us be thankful that it is lo be relieved by their exposure, and by _their perpetual dismissal from the public confidence. ' - It is understood that the management :tof the New jork TrThune—the only journal having a part in the fracas, in which the public feel any especial interest '--has now beep confided to Mr. WurrE MAW Raw. late of Cincinnati, but more :recently mie of the Triune's editors. TEMPERANCE IN POLITICS Some wait zealous friends of. Temper. Ohio, met, a fortnight since, in Convention, and resolved to organize for political action at once. They make the :1138563 upon the prohibition - of - the mane 'facture andeale of alcohol as a beverage, and will give their suffrage to no candi date who shall be unpledged to that , pro hibition: The Conventionalso denounced both'of the great political parties, as un willing to take up the cause of temper encie, or to adopt any measures in the di rection either of restriction or of prohibi tion of the liquor traffic. It is thus seen that, if Ohio politics be not diversified by this temperance ques tion, this year, it will not be the fault of the ultra teraptatanbe riven. That political issue is already made in that State. It was hacky'elough to 'secure a faithful ap plication the same week. Acting strictly 'upon the new platform, the Temperance men of . Cleveland made the issue at their city election—and with such conspicuous success as to eleot a Democratic whisky " distiller for Mayor by something less than three thousand majority. Upon a square vote, upon the old-fashioned political issues, the city ought to be Republican by some five hundred majority. Certain ly., an admirable opening for the new -'temperance campaign. And its entire '..ciutrse, if it runs at all up to October, in falo, will be brilliant with similar vic fillkist shohld be glad to have some iiplanation froia the leading men of the new tenaperance party as to the probable ditte Of their final triumph, at this rate, in Alia political field. The Cleveland experiment was by no . Means a novelty; its results might have been expected—perhaps were expected :by it few of the temperance party. Sim- IDY recruits have, with scarcely an excep. lion, everywhere followed the ,political teinperance issue. We havehad the same experience here. Our citizens will not forget the splendid disasters which that issue has achieved, In other years, in our 0:. own local politi9s.

Be that as it 'may; - 10:geower the tem perance question is rarried to th e polls, it is done by those who never hive voted the Democratic ticket, and every Demo crat votes againa it. Is it fair, then, or even truthful, to stigmatise the two par ties as alike unfriendly% to the tem perance cause? And if that party which is not Democratic be in fact the most friendly to a temperance reform in the.public morals, by reason of the greater intelligence, and higher social imitate of its individual members, why mast the zealots upon that question foreyer per sist in their mischievious raids. upon the only party which has ever substantially benefitted . their Cause by the general hilluence l of 'its membership upon public opinion, and by' the "general tendency of ‘. its, legislation upon all matters of sociatmorality? Is It the only practicable Strategy f3r ,temper anal men, to ruin their best friends and throw the contest of local - or State affairs into the hands of a party which never gave them. a vote at the polls, pr the first line of temperance legislation? Weaken not now discuss the question in its l irnoral aspect. We believe in tein perance in all things, and have no parti ality for that intemperance of opinion which insists upon the social duty of en forcing, by legal coercion, the paramount obligation upon all of one view Of a morn question, when the opposite view is equally recognized by at least_one-half of the community. So long as a moiety, or anything near a moiety, of the people continue, as they really now de, to see no moral obliquity in the manutacture, sale, or use of alcoholic drinks, we hold it to be a most uncharitable in temperate, nu-republican and unwise policy to attempt the conversion of that moil,' sense by the main force of legal enactments. And so think considerably more than half of the people, as they in -variably express themselves whenever this folly of a temperance issue is, from time to time, thrust into the political arena: It is always defeated, the only party which has ever given to it voice or vote, is always sent to the wall, divided, distracted and beaten by the temperance. seldom in its own ranks, while Demo cracy triumphs and, usually, whisky also, voting, to a man, for the largest liberty in the traffic. The moral question has no place in politics. The effort has repeatedly been made to drag it into that arena,—and it always comes to grief. We need only look at these results, to perceive the folly which thus invites a constant defeat. They seem to be anxious for yet another lesson in Ohio. With a very good be ginning at Cleveland, the outcomes will be like it all over the State. It has been recommended to the cler gymen of Pennsylvania, that sermons on temperance shall be pronounced on the 30th of May, from every pulpit in the Commonwealth. If the spi ritual teacheis of our people shall have the grace to con: ceive justly, and the fidelity to utter boldly on that day, their solemn and truthful tes timony nyu the moral evils of intemper• ance, it is safe to- predict that the cause will thereby be proffioted with a solid pro gress in the popular heart infinitely beyond any thing of good that has ever been ac complished by all the political agitations of the subject in the history of American parties, and when religious instruction, moral suasion, the thoughtful contempla tion of social duty, faithfully and long persevered in, shall have.made their due impression upon the understandings of ,the major portion of our people; then, it -will be the time, and time enough, to de more stringent legal enactments and to rely upon their enforcement. A Pile of Greenbaclts Greund Up A. few days ago, when one of the em ployes of Clark* Co.'s paper mill, near the aqueduct , waa engaged in running through the "rag-picker" a lot of old clothing, his attention was attracted to some bits of greenish paper which had gone through the machine. On 'a closer inspection thep proved to be scraps of greenbacks, which had been dipped into pieces by the knives in the "picker!" !fhe man found a hat full of these old scraps, and instead of gathering them up . carefully, and devoting a portion of his valuable 'time in fitting the scraps to gether, he picked up_ a portion of the valuable debris, and gave them to friends as evidences of a curious discovery he had Made of a fortune which had be ran thiongh a mill! The scraps are off bills of the, denominations of $5, $lO, $2O, .t5O and $lOO, and an estimate made from: the quantity of pieces found indicates that not less than $3,000 was in the machine, and that was ground up in the "rag•picker." In it a small bunch,. of the debris taken up - without regard the contents, there were twenty, pieces with $lOO on them. Now that It is too late to effect anything of consequence in the matter, we learn that the finder of, those greenback scraps in tends to try and make a collection of them; and fit the pieces together. The money, however, has been "funded," and is out of circulation. The theory of the money getting into the picker, is that the coat which contained the money was one of a lot of soldiers' blonses which were collected' at different points, and that the money was sewed up in the breast of a blouse which belonged to an officer who bad died in a hospital, and -the secret of the greenbacks died with him. Diubtless the poor fellow's family often wondered what became of -his money, and the rag pick,er has solved the mystery—bat unfortunately to no gocid purpose.--Dayton (Ohio) Jaunted. • IN A printing office at Goiiport is a blind compositor.

About two years ago a boy, in witness' house, spoke of defendant, and witness told boy it would be well for him if ho had as good a character as Taylor. Daniel Graham, Jr., recalled—William English and his mother started West last fall. Saw them about a half mile from their own house the night they left. They left in the night. Witness was in the woods hunting peons, and happened to meet them 'on the road. Had been down to the endue at John English's and staid ail night;Eneis when he went starting hunt coon! that they intended that night. Saw them at Her lansburg two days after. Went .in a buggy to take them to •New Castle. Elizabeth bad toldhim that she had been from on thiti case. Took them from Harlansbarg to New Castle. Croseexamined—Thinks it was well known In the neighborhood that John English was sfpout to emigrate. Defence relate. Commonwealth calls Daniel Graham, Esq., again—The old story of the box of blacking; got one since the murder and had - it in his book case; his daughter, Mrs. 'English, and her son, Wm. English, were at his house on the evening of the murder. Defense objected and the purpose of contradicting Wm. English's deposition was stated in writing. Proposition and objections filed. - Mr. Thompson argued in favor of his objections. The declarations of Win. English, before his deposition, whatever they may have been, cannot be used to' ntradict th deposition. There is no e co vidence that at Wm. English's attention had been particularly called to the mat ter previous to his deposition. He was followed by Mr. McJankin, who argued that as English was defend ant's witness, ind that the Common wealth bad no had opportunity to 157 proper ground for contradiction, they wish to prove that on Saturday night the witness slept with prisoner and gave a different account that night from what he did the next day. C. McCandless, for 'defence; argued that Mr. McJunkin admits that there are no rules of evidence to permit such contradiction, and reads frein Greenleaf on evidence. He said that no such contra diction could be offered in ecivil case. Court overrules the proposition; he' cause witnest' attention was not called to time; place. dre. • ' • Tamea'Wilson recalled—Was preanni , when the testimony of Win. Engliskliffie taken.

Does not know that any question was asked witnesswhat part of the church prisoner - had sat in, or where he sat himself; no recollection of witness saying what part of prisoner he saw. Had beard defendant's statement as to where he sat: Would not state that every Ward witness said was reduced to writ ing. Has subs t a nce deposition; it con tains the ce of his testimony; were some questions not written down. Justice asked, "Are you certain you saw Taylor in church?" The reply was, "I think I am certain." "Might you be mistaken?" "Might be mistaken, but think lam not." These questions and answers he does not find in the writing, but' can remember nothing - more left out. Had not seen English that day before; talked to English two or three weeks after; did not ask him what part of the church he saw prisoner in. Had a siib riven& fur him and talked to him about what he had stated on oath. [Common wealth did not ask what English said then.] 'Squire Shannon, swern—Was present when English's testimony was taken. Does not know that he heard all that English stated.' Does not remember ask ing him any questions. Heard 'Squire Riddle ask him questions. Does not re member the questions. Remembers some of the answers. Does not remem ber any questions being asked about what part of prisoner he . had seen. Could not say that any question was asked about what part of the church de lendant sat in. There were questions and answers that are not in the deposi tion. Does not remember what they were. [Mr. McJunckin Persists in mak ing witness remember.] It is his opinion that some questioh was asked the witness about the part of the church in which he saw Taylor, but cannot re collect. There is no such question in the deposition. Cannot state anything thing that was asked English or answer ed that is net in the deposition. D. Graham, Jr., re.oalled—Was pres ent when Wm. English was examined; recollects some of the questions and an swers; remembers none about the part of the church in which he sat, or in what part he saw defendant; was asked what positien defendant was in; was asked if he was certain it was defendant; "yes, I am pretty near certain; he was sitting with his back to me, but turned his head round so that I saw the side of his face." Heard the deposition read and thinks that anestion and answer is not in it; re collects no other question or answer not in the deposition; had conversation on the subject with William English, both upon and after the examination; saw him in the church yard; talked with him a few words. [Commonwealth again offers to prove contradictory statements. Offer overruled.] Witness had conversation with English after he testified; about an hour after; called his attention to the subject on which he had been examined. [Here comes the contradition, and it must be admitted. It was interesting to note the broad grin of satisfaction on the rubicund facet:l - fa banging parson, while Mr. Mo.Tunkin whispered with the wit nese. and his look of disappointment was amusing when Mr. McJunkln an nounced that English's statements were not material and would not be offered.] Conrad Double, recalled—Saw experi ments made witn prisoner's shot gun lait evening. Mr. Thompson objected on the ground that this is not rebutting testimony, and witness retired. Commonwealth rested and so did de fence. Court adjourned until 2 o'clock. Arkgrooos sessios. Court opened at 2 o'clock. The house was crowded with an audience, about one-half ladies. Mrs. McCandless lett her usual place and took a seat where she did not face the prisoner, and did face the jury. The District Attorney opened for the Commonwealth. Ho did not intend to shy much in this case. The indictment was found ,in the oillcial term of his predecessor, Mr. Riddle, who, by the usual rules, conducts all cases began in his term. He is quite a young man, with a pleasant voice andar some hesitafrom tion of manner, which appes to arise timidity. He swim feelingly of the great importance and solemnity of the case, urged the duty of upholding the law, depreciated mistaken sympathy ivith prisoner, because of his misfortune. The fact of the murder was beyond ques tion and he made some feeling remarks abouti the deceased In her present poet hen in the grave, where her bones are immovable. He said blood will have blood; trees and stones had been made to speak ' . the prisoner's gun, the black shawl and blacking boa all talked in :words louder than thunder. Twice the hand of God intercepted the murderer's blow. Twice the hand of God had save the innocent and noble girl, who went about concealing the terrible threats, made against her life, or treating them as the idle ravings of a boy. It heaits are brLmadog and overflowing with pity, it is not to be expended on any one In this house ,but on that noble girl, ly ing, bleedin and dying in the arms of her poor ol dmother. Here Mr. Greer got up quite a scene as having been en acted in the house of Mr. McCandless on that evening, and sucoeeded in mak ing the honored mother do her appropri ate part in the proceedings by shedding a few tears. Mr. Greer repeated and dwelt upon the threats in the letters and the prisoner's familiarity with the house and vicinity. lie had a pluck shawl; he had a blacking bOx; he had blue socks; he had a hatehet. That black shawl— that large black shawl—that black shawl with the long fringe—what had become Of the black shawl? Oh the black shawl, the big black shawl which has been mis sing since that day ! Who had carried off the shawl? What human wisdom could fathom the mystery of the shawl! None, surely, less omniscient than that of.the Jury; to their shrewd wisdcim it must be appa rent that the prisoner had purloined the shawl. Yea, verily, had taken it as a meek under which he might take - the life of this noble gill. And when the hand of Providence had been stretched out, miraculously stretched out, and the life of this old man's daughter preserved, then.this master of ingenuity bad con cealed the shawl hidden the black shawl, the shawl with the long fringe, hidden it in the oats. Yes, the oate,the sheaf oats, the oats in Daniel Graham's barn, and in 'the night, the dead of night. The broth er.of thie prisoner, yes, this prisoner's ' brother had come, a f ter visiting his 'brother in Jail, In the common Jail. and had, between Christmas and New Years, yes, on a night, at midnight, between Christmas and New - Years, bad feloni- I s misty and wickedly carried off the bl k shawl. [We do hope he will keep . e shawl, but think he should have n put on the witness stand, and madeS account for the black shaw, the p eriy of a lunatic at large w o had a habit of destroyinsc bet clothes,] Then the blacking boa! Oh the blacking box! Who but Taylor Hackenberry had a blacking box? And what In the name of all the &sinus and Angels became of the blacking in that wondetfhl box? It had, only .been in that family for three 'Mouths. There were only flys persons lived lathe hones, and tone of them crazy. There were , heats of visitors. The box, ' i re a lainbeiloom. in an open , , pad roilc*:. ~ ...NRIP woad Pr . . •=vies Yap the =mug *oat thiii oboe Oh the blacking and the hatchet, the bright hatchet! Nobody but Taylor Hackenberry could have got a black woolen shawl, some blacking and a hatchet. Then, gentlemen of the Jury, three weeks before this murder, this prisoner, s , --this felon, this murderer, cleane<his gun--on a wet day, cleaned his gnu - For what purpose could he have cleaned his gun? Why, gentlemen of. the jury, to kill and murder this noble girl. And so on to the end of the chapter. Mr. Thompson, for the defence, re, minded Ithe jury- that no man could be called upon to perform a more , grave and solemn duty than that devolving upon the counsel. Since the world began it has been filled with blood and crime. But thel records of every nation, in its criminal law, more than by any other, best prove its barbarism or civilization. The noblest tongues and pens nave been occupied in withstanding the bloody code of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a t00th. 4 ,, He made a lost thrilling and eloquent address against capital punish ment; but rejoiced that they were not called upon to set aside the existing laws in following out their convictions in this case. There was nothing to be, said of the deceased, who is beyend the reaeh of all human tribu nals. llie urged in general terms that there t!fits no proof of, the guilt of the pris oner. I Be Spoke touchingly of the rela tionship of the prisoner• to his accusers. Theseine bosom nurtured their parents, and they , his' foster parents, who ghoul have stood by him, an orphan. are seeking his life, at the hands of the jury. Will his life restore their child? Will it heal a wound? He repeated the theory of the Commonwealth. The man who blamed the barn did the shooting (.31 three weeks before; the man who did this s Obting came to the hone, on that Sand y, in the black shawl; . the man who me in the black shawl committed the m 'rder. He argued that the burning of Mr. McCandless' barn was no sign of malice against his daughter, and that he had admitted in his testimony that he had suspected Oliver neer, with whom he had had a quar rel about the settlement of an estate. At the; time of firing the shots Taylor was as their son—had slept and lived in their house, and could not have conceal ed his Step and voice. Both Mr. and Mrs. McCandless admitted that they thought the voice was like Oliver Piser's. They feared'; to admit their suspicions, because they had been threatened with a suit for slander by . Oliver Piser. He went very clearly over the testimony about the re volver purchase; more than t*o years after that revolver was fired in Mr. Mc- Candless' house, and the absurdity , of the statement that 'no search was made for the marks of balls until Taylor point ed them out. Ann knew that the first shot struck near the clock, because it rang the bell, and vet Mr. and Mrs. and Mary McCandless swore that they did not think there were any balls in that shoot ing. and therefore they had not searched for any: He was very severe, and justly so, on the effort to connect he prisoner with the Sunday transaction, and the contradictions of Mr. Graham about that black shawl and bright hatchet. He exhibited Mr. Graham's hatchet to the jrtry and called their attention to the evident efforts to t ear it from rust, and argued from this and his contradictions, abont where it was used in the coal bank, and when it was ground, and the wonderful prescience which called Mr. Graham to swear now, after eight months, that just two pair of shoes. little shoes, had been blacked out-of his lox in two months. . In a house often visited by married eons and daughters, and their families, this old old man could swear that only two pair of shoes bad been blacked out of it, and we are asked to believe the prisoner blacked his face out of it, when 'the witnesses swore that the disguised man wore a black false face. But; I cannot pretend to follow his able argument of three and a half hours, and must close for the mail. Court adjourned at six o'clock.
