One of the burglars was arrested in the act off-hipping a portion of the stolen goods from Mt. Bethel Station, r,n Tuesday. IJe gave his name as Charles Myers, and stated that he had two accomplices. These have not Ix-en ci ight. Nearly all of the goods stolen have b recovered. An attempt was made enter f :..-h's f-t'irc, on the same night, but was fhistrarcd by the scaring cf the burglars. Church Fair. .ir colored brcthern give notice, by hand bill, that during Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday next, both day and evening, they will hold a Fair for the sale of Fancy Articles, Oys ters and Refreshments generally, at J. S. Wil liams & Co's. new Hall, corner of (Jeorge and Monroe street--, one square from the Court J louse. The object of the Fair is to enable the brethren to raise money to complete their new .'hurch now under roof. Certainly no more jueritorious object than this could enlist the active pympathy and substantial aid of ourcit jzena. The Congregation in joor, but none the Jess earnest in the worship of the living God, and it is but just that our citizens, remember ing that he who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord, should come to their aid and contri bute liberally towards securing for them a com fortable and convenient place of worship. With this object in view, persons attending .ourt rhould remember that edibles, prepared 5n tle best fetyle, and in variety sufficient to fempt even an anchoret, will be found in rea duiess at aU tiniC3 during the continuance of tue 1 air. Capital puuishmeut is virtually abolish ed in Illinois, by a statute providing that, "in all cases of felonies, which by exist ing laws are puoishable with death, it f Jnll Le competent for the jury ernpanel si to return a verdict of guilty ; and, as part of the fame, either that the prisoner hall puffer death by hanging; as now j-roviAeJ by law, or be imprisoned in the yeoiteliary for the term of his natural Jife, or 1'tr a term of not less than four ieen years, as they may decide. Aud no person shall he sentenced to death by any .court unless the jury shall have so found in their verdict upon trial." As no jury is likely .except ia time of tome very or dinary pulieezveiment, to consign even a murderer to the allows, the barbarous gibbet U ;r3c;i?a.!;y abolished i the! prat?, Redaction of the State Debt Governor Geary nas issued his procla mation announcing that during the fiscal year ending November 30, 1868, the pub lic debt of Pennsylvania has been reduc ed in the amount of two millions four hundred and sixteen dollars and sixty four cents. The nature of the debt can celled was as follows: 5 per cent, loan redeemed $1,715,143 29 5 per ccut. loan redeemed 5254,427 85 F.xcess over 323,000,000 (5 p et ) 445,035 50 Relief notes canceled 210 00 Total. $2,414,810 G4 This is, indeed, a pleasing exhibit in the financial affairs of our Commonwealth at the close of another year. However much has been paid by partizans about extravagance and wanton disregard of the state fiuanees by the party in power, we have steadily contended that the present administration was actios; honerably and directing its whole energies towards re trenchmeut aud reduction in the expenecs of the public treasury. A few more years of Republican rule will set. Penn sylvania entirely out of debt and so long as our finances are beiug so admirably managed a charge of administration would be positively dangerous. There are some figures in the report of the r recdmen s Bureau for Georgia which we commend to the people who still be live that the turbulent and disorderly ne crocs have been making all the trouble at the South. Seventy one of these ne groes coutrived to get murdered by white men during the past year ; while fifteen white man were murdered by negroes. The administration of justice there under the management of the peaceably dispos ed whites finds an illustration in the same figures. Out of the 71 white mur derers 15 were arrested, and of these 3 were acquitted outright, and none receiv ed the puniihment of murder; while of the lo negro murderers 14 were arrested, 7 were punishod, 2 acquitted, and the rest held for trial. Wc ask those who have thought the Tribuue's statements about Ku-Klux outrages highly oolored, to consider these figures. We do not wish to mar their terrible force by com ment ; but wc must express the trustful hope that under the incoming Adminis tration a record so frightful will be pos sibl ia no State or Territory of the Union. Trilun. After near half a century's strusgle with lawyers and courts, Mrs. Gen. Gaines finds herself compelled to appeal to Con gress for the impeachment of a Judge, whom she charges with attempts to ex tort money from her as the price of jus tice. jsew-Urleans officers of all sorts are in bad odor just now, and this parti cular one hns been the subject of ujrlv tales before ; but for the credit of the United States Courts wc trust there may be some error in the report. We are us ed to unjust State Judges ; but we have still hoped that justice might find a sanc tuary in the Court of the National Gov ernment. If these charges be really pre ferred by responsible parties, on credible eviuence, we pray congress to lose no 1 .1 time in investigating the case, aBd if it l-e proved that a hitrh trust has been thus shamefully descerated in visting the severest and swiftest penalty upon the culprit. Iriunnc. Senator Ramsey has presented a bill Iimitiug or abolishing the franking pri vilege of members of Congress. What was originally a privilege, properly exer cised, has now become an abuse. Instead of writing his name, every Congressman now has a stamp, which can be used by anybody to any extent. Some members who are in business use these stamps to frank their circulars and advertisements. Political documents by the ton are carri ed through the mail by means of them. The Postmaster General reports that the cost of transporting frauked matter through the mails during the past year exceeded one million of dollars. This is a clear public loss, without advantage to any body. We are in favor of a law that will compel every man to pay for his own pos tage stamps. Important Railroad Consolidation. The principal western feeders of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad are now consolidated with the main trunk, and the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and the Pittsburg, Ciocinnatiaad St. Louis roads have become practically a part of the Pennsylvania Central, and overone thousand milesof railway, stretch ing from the seaboard to the great cities of the Mississippi Valley, pass under the control of one company, whose iron arms reach for freight and passengers from Philadelphia to Chicago, Cincinnati and bt. Louis. This is an important move meut. At Mansfield, Penn., Mr. William. l ord, of the firm of Ford it Green, gro cers, was engaged in the store, preparing to attach a weight to the door. That which he intended to use as a weight was an old bomb-shell, which had been lying about the store for a long time, and which was supposed to be empty. The hole in the shell had became filled up with dirt, and Mr. lord, to clean it out, thrust poker heated almost red hot into the opening. A second afterwared, and the supposed empty bomb shell exploded with a loud report badly wounded.

Then rub with leather sprinkled with unslaked lime. nnely powdered, until all the rust disap pears. Forty thousand younjr men came of acre in Pennsylvania this year.

A package of $6000 in confederate notes wai sold at. Savannah, on thp 1st inrt.. for Dr. Newman, editor of the New Or leans Advocate, who was lately in Wash ington, prints in a recent issue of that paper his impressions of the character and personal habits of General Grant: Our recent visit to General Grant cor rected two false impressions which the press had made upon our mind. We have all heard of his ''everlasting cigar j" that he" has never been seen without one; that it is so inseparable a companion that he has been photographed with the roll of tobacco either in his lips or between his fingers, and in a word, that he sleeps with a cigar in his mouth. With these and other stories of the General's cigar fresh in mind, we felt no little disappoint moot when he greeted us in the hall not to see a column of smoke issuing from his thin lips, and our disappointment in creased when he sat an hour in conversa tion without a single whifle on the ever lasting cigar. And our surprise was equally agreeable and great at the con versational powers displayed by Prcsidcut Grant. We had entered his presence with the impression that we would have to lead the conversation, and remember ing his reported passion for horses, we had determined to engage him in conver sation by describing a famous Arabian horse we once rode from Jerusalem to Bethlehem ; but the General "moved di rectly upon our works," nor did he give us time to bring up our Arabian steed. II is thoughts are clear, quick and com prehensive ; his language accurate, terse and sufficiently full for all colloquial pur poses. He displayed a breadth of view, a minuteness of detail, a practical under standing, a preponderance of common sense, which so largely characterixed the illustrious Washington. In their mental structure Grant and Washington are not unlike. In his analysis of Washington's character the great Everett enumerated common sense, prudence, punctuality. modestv. love of iustice. self control, nride of character, seriousness, honesty, patrio - tism and mocality, as the distinguished iraua m me cunracier 01 i;m raiuer 01 his country; and it is not too much to say no other public man since the days of Washington has displayed similar men- tal and moral excellencies in the same de gree and harmony as General Grant General Sherman at Chicago. At the great army re union which con vened at Chicago on Tuesday, General Sherman uelicrvcd the address of welcome. In the course of his remarks he said : Happily, my friends, you did not be- long to that class of the people in whose hearts was planted from youth the perni- tiiu3 uucirmc oi oiaio powar. mat me -J - - - - fO..- Citizens Should love a part of the trv bettpr than lhi whnl Vnn worol . i -i i . i., . revere the (Wtit ninn nf th -hnl nn trv. and to love the wise and o-oni.il in.
