RUSSELL ERRETT, Chairman. V,"v. ElXIOTT, v. ."ov8ToiSccrotarI.,( rent j.inc:iy, P. M. Lttle, Coffee, Tfa and Democ hacy. The Democratic party in olileu timet was ul wnys favorable to miy measure that provi ded for tlto welfare of tlio laboring classes. JJut Southern influence, long since, hns Caused Ihe leaders of that party tostnke their fortunes with the South in favor of free trade and other measures calculated to de stroy our tnauufacturers, aud therefore op pose tho tariff. The committee in Congress lias reported to put tea and coffee aud other lutieles that cannot be grown here, on the free list. Of course this will bcucDt tho laboring class and tho poor, aud ought to receive every Democratic vote if they were honest iu their professions. Hut they refuse, nnd insist upon keeping a tax on tea and coffee, which we cannot raise, and aro Lry itig to reduce the duty on iron and other articles which we manufacture. Tint conviction of Murcer, Treasurer of Philadelphia, and Chas. T. Yerkes, his broker, for fraudulently causing ft defalca tion In tho Treasury of Philadelphia, which look place some time since, and which was lied up on r motion for a new trial, was fi nally brought to a close on Friday last, by tho court overruling tho motion for a new trial, nnd sentencing tho prisoners. Mar cer was sentenced to pay a fine of $300,000, and undergo imprisonment nt hard labor for four years and niuo months. Yerkes' sentence was to pay ft lino of $500, the cost of prosecution, and be imprisoned nt hard labor for two years. In passing this judg ment, the court said : The misapplication, of public money has become the great crime of tho age. If not promptly nnd finally checked it-will ulti mately destroy our institutions. When a country becomes houeycombed by corrup tion its vitality is gone ; it must crutnblo upon the first pressure. Iu my opinion the public are much to blame for your offence and others of a simi lar character. Heretofore official fraud has been regarded with too much inuillcmicc. What we noc'l is a higher nud purer politi cal morality , n stale of public opinion which would make the improper use pub lic money a thing to be cec rated. It was the luck of this which made your offence passible. This dates a genuine reform in official peculation, and will inaugurate n system of prudeuco and honesty in oflicial n flairs j Quested which will be n benefit to officials ns well ''' as to tho people. ENGLAND AND THE UENEYEA " COMFERENCE :- The British press has been quite bllligcr cnt lately on the subject of America claims presented to tho Geneva Arbitration, nnd Mr. Gladstone has declared, if reported correctly, that England will rather tight than submit' to even, the arbitration of claims. But neither tho press nor tho de claration of the Primo, Minister of Great Britain can be relied on as expressive of the sentiments of the people or the govern ment. We aro under no serious apprehen sion of a conflict of arms with England, whatever courts her government may pur sue in regard to the treaty. IXilny will on ly Snciease the amount of our claims. Pay day will come some time, nnd wo nro in clined to believe that eventually, upon "sober second thought,1' John Bull will conclude that it Is cheaper and more honor able to settle peaceable by payment in dol lars nnd cents, than run the risk of a resort to arms. . The Scran ton ltepublican hns an article on tho subject which gives a pretty correct view of tho question and of tho course of the British government. An Englishman, a subscriber to that paper, having tnkeu exception to editorial remarks rellecliug upon tho conduct of the British govern ment ns faithless and cowardly, and re- nn explanation the Jiejntblican The editor of tho Democrat attempts to underrate the circulation of the American. Perhaps the editor is not pleased that the American is more generally read than the Democrat, even by members of his own party. We find the "Court House King," who refused the American several . j cars ago, among the first to :ukit after it is issued, while copies of the Democrat may be found accumulating for months at the different post oDlces, and are never cpeued. Our neighbor ougnt to know that tho American circulated pretty freely during the last campaign, and we can as sure him that our subscription list has constantly increased ever siucc, and if wc are spared for the next campaign, may prove somewhat warmer for the Democrat, than on any former occasion. Death of Senator Evans. Hon. Hcury S. Evans, Senator from the 5th dis trict, died at his home in West Chester, on Friday cveniug last, from an attack of pneumonia. Ho w-as elected to the Senutc iu tho fall of 1871. Mr. Evans whs also editor cf the West Chester Village Record, oncofllio uioat iutluutial Republican jour uaU in the State. His death creates a va caucy in the Senate, aud, until an election again leaves the political parties a tie iu that body. The ltepublican Majority iu the OUi district is large, and a ltepublican will undoubtedly be elected to till the vacancy. The editor of tlx Democrat pretends to say, that Col. McClurc. who. wns so hand somely defeated in the 4th district by II. W. Gray, was a ltepublican. Tho very fact that the editor of the Democrat, showed his anxiety for McClurc's election satisfied us that he wii on the Democratic side, and by the evidence of one of his own witnesses nl an investigation held at Philadelphia, wheu Mr. Bouham cross examined him, made the following statement, which shows that ho was entirely iu the hands of that party. Tho witucss says : "I live No. 1150 South Ninth street ; am n printer ; have lived there about a year ; have worked at printing uuinter-iuptedly about eighteen years ; am now on tho 1'ublic Record ; was paid to go on the errand iu the Nineteenth anl. lion ha in How much did you get V Witness That will take some time ; I received a certain sum, but distributed it aniline my men. Bouham How much to each t Witness 815. Bouham How many men ? Witness About fifteen or twenty-five; I received the money from Colonel M'Clure. Neighbor how dues that tally with your report of fraud and corruption V The Watsontoicn Record comes to the rescue of the County Commissioners, aud defends them for subscribing for newspa pers, and charging the county with it. As John has been losing county pap, through his exposures of the "lighting editor," he, is compelled to redeem himself in this party. What has became of that "outrageous ex exposure of the fighting editor?" If tho Record is not largo enough to contain a full report let us have it in two numbers. In every insiauce wheu the Free-Traders liavc had llictr own way iu the construc tion of the tariir, the country has been led into general suspension and bankruptcy, as iu the tariff of 1810, 1832 uud 184l, and wo were compelled to go to a protective tar ill for a remedy. Isu't it curious. There ia a large class of persons in this (country who are looking forward to that glorious day., a kind of tuilleuium, wheu labor can bo procured in this couutry at Mtus Ih&t will compare favorably with ilic wages of LXiropeau laborers. These per sons generally run with the Free-Trade machine, aud display prominently the Bri tish flag. Democratic journals here and chew here, which lead iu this business, arc cxpmeuts of the cheap labor movement, and are of course anxious to lower Ameri can to pauper European labor. A Foxy Transaction. We learn that cue of the County Commissioners says, that fifteen Luudrcd dollars had been paid dur ing last year for fox and pole-cat scalps, nnd it ia said "that it is not a good county for foxes and pole-cats either." DuupVin County, we notice by the Auditor's Report only raid 8138,50; aud Montour county I $uj 103,30. This looks as thougli our neigh- ,ltfVcr t nors autt ineir irienus u.iu uucu luuuagius matters sons to drive nearly all their foxes aud pole-cats to this county to be slaugh tered. Schuylkill county, it nppears also had a bountiful supply. We notice in the Auditor's Report, that $850 77 were paid, to which the -Vino' Journal objects, and mj-i : "Wf learn that the item f.f Fox scalps, charged at 950.77 did not actually exceed j?200. If true Uo tax-payers have beeu scalped considerably by somebody. We learn that this item lias becu largely in creased in the accouut to cover up money which must have been fraudulently obtain ed, otherwise why cover up the items." If the taxpayers of Schuylkill county have been tculiicd, we are iucliutd to think that the taxpayers of this county have not only been Bcalpid, but tkunltd at a considerable rate. Tuehe is no excuse why tho indebted ucss of tho county should not have been paid during last year. The indebtedness as we are informed- amounted to some twenty seven thousand dollars, while tho amouut of outstanding taxes was 811,402 "1. The Commissioners aro by law required lu withhold new duplicates of collectors uutil the old ones are settled up. Had this been dono there wouldliave been no ditll vuHy.tn paying off the whole indebtedness of the county, Wo now fiud that nothing las been paid on the indebtedness, on which the interest is accruing annually, aud that there is t44,593 C7 in the hands of tax col lectors, and that dillqueut collectors are leaving for parts unknown. Candidates for Governor. The JUiltonian of last week, gives its views of the candidates for Governor as follows : The "oUuo Wine manufactured in view of the approaching nomination ol u lamli duio for Governor of lenusylvuuia, are numerous, aud, ulthough few of the dele gales to the State Convention have as yet been instructed, there is a lively interest manifested iu the matter by the friends of tliu dill'ereut candidates named for the po sition, and in some cases the candidates themselves are making herculean ellorts to secure the nomination. The names of Col Jordan, Col. KctchuR), Gen. Harry While nnd Geu. llarirauft are strongly urged in di lie re nt quarters and we believe these gentlemen are all willing to havo their names used. But while we consider them all good men we confess that the list does not embrace the name of our first choice for Governor of Pennsylvania, although the name hns been mentioned iu this connec tion, and delegates have been instructed to support the gentleman bearing it. We al- IUUO 10 HON. JOHN li. 1 ACKEIl, .MelllUcr ress from this. District, who has sought office at the hands of the jieople, but who has given entire satisfac tion in every positiuu which ho has ever been called upon to till. Understanding thoroughly tho posltiou nod needs of the great Keystone State in tho Federal arch, being jealously watchful of her interests, aud thoroughly practical in tho discharge oi me uuiies uevoiviug upon nun ; posses sing a cool, well balanced mind, and u warm heart, having the confidence of the people, and being in every way qualified, no DC Iter man could be selected tor the po sition of Goveruor of Pennsylvania, aud we feel that his sterling qualities will prove strong recommendations to the State Con vention provided ho will allow his fiiends lo bring his name before that body. We know that he has heretofore refused the use of his nam; in this connection, but trust he will consent to accept the services of his friends iu introducing his name to the State Convention. Aud shouiu ho receive the nomination, we preuict for him nn election by a majority such as has not beeu given in Pennsylvania since the exciting elections daring the cxisieuce of the rebelliou. We do not propose merely to reply to the above exceptions lo a former article, but to slate the precious position England has seen (it to Resume in regard to .tho treaty of Washington, nnd the arbitrniioit confer ence now is session at Geneva, Switzerland. England entered voluntarily into the com pact resulting in the treaty of Washington, and in fact it was one of her statesmen who made the first suggestion to adopt the arbi tration mode of settling the pending nud threatening dilllculties which have been at issue between the two countries nice the close of our late war. The British govern ment selected jointly with this country a commission to draw up the provisions of the treaty. That commission was harmo niou anil unanimous in their work, nnd performed it to tho theu nppaicnt satisfac tion of the governments nnd people of tho two countries, for scarcely a word of dis sent was heard from cither side of the At lantic for many mouths, and indeed uot until within the past few weeks. Now, in discussion this question it is necessary to remember the fact that England, or r.vther the English government, became voluntari ly a partner to the compact, which pro vides that the questions then threatening a rupture between the two countries should be submitted for decision to a board of ar bitration composed of eminent statesmen of disinterested countries. Thus England nud the United Stales, the two parties di rectly at issue, agreed to submit their case to impartial au-1 unprejudiced jndnne W'p then thought, nnd hnd reason to believe, that England acted in the same good faith ns did the United States, viz : to submit nil questions involved in the treaty to the board of arbitration, to bide the result, and subsequently submit to the decision if that arbitration. But while the people and government were faithfully abiding by the terms of the treaty, England suddenly and unexcctedly nnnounces lo tho wond through her highest otlicials, that she re fuses to abide by the treaty, nnd sets her self up as lc judge ns to what questions shall be submitted to the arbitrators for de cision. In this she places herself in nn attitude of direct opposition to the treaty to which she is a parly. If this is not faithlessness in tho most aggravated form, then the term has ceased to be of any sig nificance. It is dishonorable in nn indi vidual to make a compact and then refuse to abide by its provisions, nnd wliat is dis honorable in an individual is doubly so in a great nation. That tho British Government Ins com mitted nets that lay it open to the charge of being both faithless and cowardly, need scarcely be repeated to any one in this country. We need but to refer to tin fact Ihat when our republic was involved n a terrible civil war, from which European governments hotted and believed wc could not recover, England entered iuto nn nllinuce with Spain nnd Franco to cut the throat of the Mexicau republic, and plant au Empire on our borders. But n sooner did it become apparent that the great republic of the United States was de termined to savo itself and maintain its power, than England deserted her allies iu their raid upon Mexico. During our civil war the British Govern ment, contrary to her obligations, permit ted the Alabama and other privateers to have her ports, armed with English guns nnd maimed with English subjects, to prey upon our commerce nnd rob and destioy tho prope rty of American citizens. She re fused to pay for the dauiHges thus iu dieted upon the country, and finally, when our demands were pressed upon her, nnd she feared the consequences, she ngrced lo sub mit the question to impartial arbitrators. To this the United States ngrced, reiving upon tho justice of their cause. And tiow, at the eleventh hour, "tiorlidious Albion" ouce more attempts to disregard her obli gation, unless she can be tho judye in a case in which she is also one of the parlies interested I This our government will not, nnd should not submit lo. While this na tion does not desire war with any couutry, it is no evidence that our government or people wiil shrink from any responsibility to maintain the honor of the Republic, or to demand, nnd, if necessary, cxiorl a due regard for the interest of our citizens. That the government in its dishonorable aud faithless conduct in the matUT of the treaty of Washington fairly represents the people of England, wo do not believe. If our correspondent approves her acting, that Is no reason why wc should, or speak of it iu lest plain terms than we havo done heretofore, aud as we do now. A TERRIBLE CRIME. A Kfzro By Cruelly Tortured by IrUti Laborer Extraordinary Barbarity. Susquehanna Depot, Pcnn., Feb, 12. The proverbial hatred of certain classes of the Irish to negroes has been illustrated in this place by a most fiendish and un heard of act. A few days since there came here from Hawley, Peun., on one of the Erie freight trains, ft negro boy, about thir teen years old. By his quaint nnd amusing actions ho became quite a fa vorlUr among the railroad men, and they purchased a boot-black's outfit for him nnd started him iu "business." He wns altogether harm less, and gave no one. cause for enmity against him, at least such enmity as the sequel will show existed. On Saturday night, after the departure of No. 7 expitak train, which was late nn hour, the' boy went into ouo of tho railway company's buildings nnd wenr to sle'-p. He was still sleeping wher three Irish laborers came into the building yesterday morning. These men had expressed previously, us had otheis of their class, their repugnance to the boy, bucnuseof his color, nnd finding him trespassing on their domain, they nt ouco determined to vent their hatred upon him. Taking a can of kcroseno oil they saturated the pantaloons of the sleeping boy with its combustible contents, nud then touched a match to it. In an instant the Humes Unshed tip, and the poor lilllo wnif nwoko to find himself enveloped in fire. Others hnd entered the building by that time, but, notwithstanding the shrieks and entreaties of the boy, no move was tnado to extinguish the Haines. At Inst, one of tho bystanders dashed a pail of water on him, which, however, only ndded to their fury., Finally, when it wns fi'u.n tlinf tint lmv U. nlmikBl n vlin nafjifl one of tho llireo.w'ho had set . fire to him threw nn overcoat about his body, and oth ers, attracted by the shrieks of tho boy, rushed in nnd smothered the b'azc. A I messenger was sent by on of the newcom ers for a physician, and Dr. Tingley soon arrived. Exaniination.of the bov disclosed that his legs were burned to a crisp. His right thigh wns burned clear to the boue, nnd other parts of his person were sicken ing to contemplate. Tho doctor nt once gave it as his opiniou that his injuries must prove fatal, but at this writing the boy is still alive, but suffering tho most intense ngony. The persons guilty of this barbar ous deed had not been arrested nt last ac counts, but measures are being taken to that cud. The indignation of tho people knows uo bounds. Times.

Fatal Accident nttlie Wreck or the Burned Erie .nail Train. On Thursday last, tho gravel train was sent to the scene (tf" the nccideut of tho pre vious Monday night to bring nwny the fragments of the ruined train. The der rick was mounted on a platform car and the woik of drawing the pans up the bank was begun. The larger portions drew so heavily upon the car that it became neces sary to chain the car to the track to keep it rrniu lurniiirr under the strain.- This was done, and th turuinu ol Hie .r.ink of the derrick went on. 1 lie slratu increased, and the strength of the iron chain wns put to its severest test, when it broke, causiug thecal to fly from ihe track and roll down the bank. "Three men weie nt the crnnk whe'n the chain broke, nud one of them, Michael Geary, was shot into the nir liken rocket, going over the telegmph wire nnd falling upon the iron remains of the burned cars. A piece of iron went through his body, injuring him so severely that he died in a few' momenta. The other two men, Patrick Marshall nud John McLaughlin, went down the bank with the car, and were both very seiiously injured, the first in the back, nnil tht second about the bend. Mi chael Geary leavi sa wife and seven children John McLaughlin's injury following so close upon the burning of his housf, which occurred ou Tuesday morning Inst, w hile he was nwav with thu gravel train nt tho scene of the accident to thu Erie mail, makes his trouble doubly hard to bear.
