The Democratic County Conven tion. The Demoeiatic County Conven tion ou Monday next will decide upon how many of the numerous candidates for office will be "bhelvcd." The contest in their ranks has been exceedingly warm, us it is "King" and "anti-King." By indications now, tho "King" party will gain Hie vic tory. Tho fact is that they understand better how to manipulate than those out bide, aud they work with more case and quietness. Although some Jof the leaders of the "King" will not be present, enough is already known that the "traps" arc well set aud their candidates are sure of success. Those candidates who nre most tanguiiie of a uomiualiou will find, that "there is many a slip between the cup aud lip," aud that they had Utter taken their friends ndvico nnd saved their money. Money is very powerful, nnd where avail ability is wautcd in candidates, it will have tho desired effect to nominate candidates under the old dodge practised by the "King" for some years past.

The legend on tho watch from ''tho Brew ers" must bo nutsccdent to tho act which tho Hon. Charles U. Buckalcw is tho au thor. "We could scarce believe him so un grateful ns to bo tho author of an act, and then engage himself to defeat it. That would show that he wished to servo both God nnd mammon at tho samo time. Though it is very characteristic of tho man and man and the fact that he has con cealed Ilia "present" for so long, nud not even letting his neighbors into tho secret until it was accidentally discovered, leaves a margin for suspicion.

This law inflicts a fine of fft'j dollars and imprisonment for silt; days for furnishing liquor to persons of iiiiciJijif 'e habits or to minors. The saute law makes the liquor seller liable for civil dannnjcs to person or property caused by tho use of liquors so sold or furnished. It also pays a premium of circuit c?o?.'ctnt to any fpy or informer who denounces to the authorities any li quor seller guilty of violating the law in this caso, aud makes the poor man, thus "pulled" by Ihe informer or spy, pay his prosecutor, or persecutor as the case may be his lee of twenty dollars, ond makes it a part of the coats cf the car.c. Just four d(,s after Mr. Buckalcw presented this bill (to wit, April 22d. 18."4), he called it up, aud "moved that the rules be. suspend ed and the bill passed." In accordance with the request of Mr. Buckalew, the bill passed (see Senate Journal, of 18o4, paye 009). BUCKALISW'S MV1XDLIXU BlLL.

Curtin, who arrived in j oik from Europe ou Sunday last, is ' suffering tioui severe indisposition, aud has been ordered by Ids physicians to Saratoga. Notwithstanding the iu teres t felt in Mr. Curtin's views upon the Presidential con test now pending, the newspapers have been unable thus far to ascertain his feel ings iu regard t-i either of the Presidential candidates. It is probable that Mr. Curtin will maintain silence until he re-turns to his home in Pennsylvania, when he will form ally ente r the canvass with his accustomed earnestness. The New York Tribune about a year since declared in effect that it would be difficult to find a man who would have done better thau President Grant in the Presidential office, nud that ho would be still better during his second term. Now the Tribune abuses him aud nil that are connected with his administration daily find fault with all his acts rake up all the slanders got up by rebels, Demo crats nnd sore-head llopubiicnns. Now everybody knows that Gen. Grant has not changed his policy and is the same ho was a year since, but Mr. Greely was not then a candidate. Was the Tribute conducted by Mr. Greely honest then ? ov is it honest uow If the latter, Mr. Greely was either a scheming and unprincipled knave or a stupid demagogue. No sauo man will be lieve that if the Tribune was houcst theu, it cuu be honest now. Don't Like the Company. Two old, substantial Republican of Chester county, Dr. J. B. Wood and Samuel J.

So it goes throughout the country.

A DEXIAti OF TUB CHARGES THAT HAVE 1IKKN MAT) IS CONCERNING 1118 ADMINIS TRATION OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. The following letter addressed by 11. W. Mnckey, Esq., Slate Treasurer, to tho edi tor of the Philadelphia Press, is a com plete vindication of his administration of the department against tho charges mado by that and other papers in tho interest of Greeley and Buckalew. The charges are all specifically answered and exploded. Mr. Mnckey challenges a thorough investi gation of the books and vaults of tho Trea sury by his culminotors ; but this chal lenge which only an official conscious of tho rectitude of his course would make will not Tie accepted by tho Press, which will probable continue to repeat its false allegations as heretofore. But Mr. Mac key need givo himself no uncasiuess on that score. Tlio charncter of tho Press and its purpose iu making the charges are so well known that nothing it can say will injuriously affect his reputation as an hon est and efficient officer, or take a single vote from General Ilartranft. Bend the letter : Treasury Department, Harribburg, Aug. 5, 1S72. To the Editor of the Press : Sir : The persUlvncy with which you reiterate certain charges nflecting my in tegrily in tho management of the State Treasury induces mo to think that you credit your own allegations, nnd to appre hend that you may ituluec a portion ot the public to believe thai these charges are founded on fact, to thu manifest injury of the public credit. The charges repeatedly made iu your editorial columns ntul through yourcorrcs tiomleiits arc in substance as follows : First. That there is n large amount of worthless notes and checks in the vaults of the Treasury so large that, in the lan guage ol the ot fin editorial in lhe rress ot Hie id insl., "If the Treasury were to be transferred to day iotu honest hands, it would bo impossible for the King, even with all their wealth and resources, to make good nil tho worthless paper now in the vaults." iSrcoiK?. That the securities in tho sink ing fund are used for fie purpose of specu lation. Third. That the money of the Slate is used by Simon Cameron and his son J. D. Cameron lor their own private purposes or deposited in banks under their control t i ... . i iv-lii i-.. if lio in-,,1,. nvailalil.. for I llei r use, and that their names appear on the bond given by me to the Stale lor the faith ful performance of my trust. To all of ihe-se charges I wish to enter an emphatic denial, and my object in nd- itll l-'IIIIMllllli; Ul 111.11, UlIU 11IJ Ut' LH 111 ,1,1- dressing you this note is to invite you nud - . . . . any competent and respectable bankers or business men you may Reli ct to maKe an examination of the condition of the Trea sury. To your first specific charge I answer, that it is not true that there is any worth less paper in the vaults of the Treasury. To your second charge, that of specula ting in the securities belonging to the sink ing fund, I nuswer, that the securities were given by the purchasers of the public works ; "that they are now and always have been iu the vaults of the Treasury ; that they are not ol'a negotiable character, and could not be hypothecated for me dol lar, even had I been disposed to convert " v tdj.iuiu vuaige- inai int tit morons are using the public money immediately or through their banks, and that they ate on my bond I answer Hint neither General Cameron nor his son have at any time dur ing my administration burrowed a single dollar of the Slate money, nor have they in any instance ntteinpted to control its disposition; nnd the only hank having a deposit of the public money in which they are stockholders is tho First National Bank of llarrisbiirg. The amount on de posit iu this bank is comnnrtitivelv rannll. aud less than it was uiide-rsome of my pre- uecc-ssois. .ciiucr turn.

By an net passed in 1S71 I ntn renuired to make monthly reports to tho Auditor General, under oath, showing the several banks nnd bankers with which the public moneys are deposited nud the nmouut with each. Tlies.i reporls nre open for your inspection, together w ith the reports of the hunks, iu verification of my state ment. Now, sir, I have entered a specific de nial of your allegations nllecting my integ rity nnd the public ctedit. The vaults of tho Treasury are open to your inspection, nnd I invite you to make ', good your charges. Respectfully ynurs, ii. W. Mackey Since the New York Demokrat and Abcnd Zeitun'j withdrew from the support of the Baltimore ticket, the entire German press of that city, with a single exception, are all earnestly advocating the election of the Republican candidates. The exception is the A'cto Yorker Journal, which last year defended Tweed and the Tammany ring to the end, for which it suffered greatly in circulation ami iutlucncc. It is stated that never before in the political history of Xew York has there been a Democratic Presi dential ticket which had si many formida ble adversaries iu tho German press of that city ; ns a conseqnenco of which the anti-Greeley political clubs of that nation ality are every day receiving numerous accessions from the Democratic ranks. This is uot to be wondered at. As a class, our German fellow citizens are utterly op posed to political corruption and jobbery, and it is not at all surprising that the worthy nieu who helped to bring about the overthrow of Txccd and his gang should now refuse to support the candidate of the same disreputable; organization. The ex ample of tho Germans of Xew York will be followed by their countrymen throughout the country generally. IIox. John B. Packer, tho representa tive in Congress from this district, has great reason to congratulate himself, as has tho party which supported him for a third re-election. In almost every Con gressional district in thu Stale, we care not w hich party dominates, there is more or less trouble about uniniuating a candidate. Jeulously, rivalry, bickering and personal hate disturbing tho good fculiug which would otherwise prevail. Iu our district, we are proud to say, we have none of the antagonism ou this subject. Mr. Packer has uo rival his re-uoiiMiialion is conceded ou all sides, just because hu is a faithful Republican, and a mau without personal hates. Jlarrisburtj State Journal.

He said ho had been over a great portiou of the State, aud especially in those counties where Greeley was reported to be strong, and he was able to say, on unmistakable evidence, that tho Liberals had simply been playing a very silly game of brag, nud had been making assertions for which there were not the slightest grounds. The speaker then put it strongly to Democrats of Westmoreland, as to whether they wcro going to endotse all Greeley had said of their parly by voting for him. If Ihey claimed that Greeley had simply slandered them, then "how could they honestly voto for a slanderer, or one who hud never retracted his calumnies V" Alabama Certain to Give a Large Republican Majority. A prominent Republican of Alabama writes to Attorney General Williams that tho political cam paign iu thai State is progressing favora bly, and that General Grant will carry the Stale by a majority ranging from 8,000 to 12,000. The letter says that a largo num ber of Democrats are dissatisfied with their State tickets and will vote with the Re publicans. The Greeley ites have met with utter failure in trying to divide the colored vote, and aro very despondent.

A thorough search was made to-day, in the Treasury nnd War Donartmen's and Ouartermaster- General's Office, for the claim which the Greeley organs have asserted Blanton Dun can has made l"r properly destroyed dur ing the war.

There is no foundation whatever for the story, and the authorities here pronounce it a pure invention. As Mr. Buckalew has'nnver expressed himself in favor of Horace Greeley for the Presidency, will some Democrat state how he feels on the Presidential question V This is a question that interests the Greeley Democrats and they desire to know his views on so au impm-taut a question.

Philadeei'HIA, Aug. 27, 1872. Dear American As nn evening paper said last week, "these bo the mad dog days ; aud must bo treated seriously, Wheu tho July spell was broken, after our first roasting, many flattered themselves that wo wcro done. But we were only douc on one side aud have been getting tho other side delicately browned during the past ten days." However our roast ing we sincerely hope is about done. It certainly has been well doue, and fot- a hot seasou this one has been a most complete success, and we trust another such may uot occur till our grand-children are quo led as tho oldest inhabitants, and we'gouo aud forgotleu. If it be assignable, as our wise men assert, to the effect of certain positions assumed by different planets to each other, out of their regular order, thoy must have bren seriously awry. Rain al most daily, Thunder showers from the 8., and S. W. Brilliant Northern lights, a certain, or supposed to be, preeurser of cool air, and yet hot and even hotter than be fore. Inst week we hail a thunder show er from tho usual cooling quarter, nnd ns a consequence, since it has been some im provement, though slill hot hi tho sun but cooler breeze. Enough of the weather. ns undoubtedly yourself and readers have had an elegant sufficiency thereof. I havo contemplated for some time, only prevented by tho heat, giving you a few lines upon tho subject of our State Ticket. That of the nation needs little writing up, and the former, in the safety of tho lntter, is of considerable personal interest, being a member of the Ring of which I shall speak beforo I close. The success of tho National Ticket, I believe is fully nssur red, unless wo arc caught sleeping ou our posts and are grossly careless in doing our Tull duly. Grant ond Wilson will bo elected by such majorities as will cause even the hnirs on old Dr. Grculy's bend to stand up right, if nny of his fur will remnin after such n scalping ns the sngo will receive in November. Immediately ufter his nomin ation his cause evinced some strength, but time has dissipated it, showing the policy of early nominations. Day by day his fol lowers drop out of his ranks until it. now looks os if ho would not havo a decent corporal guard at his departure up Salt River, to bid hint farewell 1 It is very much so with our excellnnt State Ticket, or rather in opposite direc tions, tho latter increasing in strength ns fast ns the former has decreased. I use the term cxcellant advisedly ond meaning what I say when I nlllrtn there is no more truly honest reliable man in the great Keystone state, than our silent chiet Gen. Ilartranft,, aud when I say so, I know whereof I speak. He is one of us. I have known of him in li is daily walk and life, years before our war, when a struggling youth ho sought employment in an humble position nt tin; enmity seat, in a minor of fice, that might enable) him to complete his legal studies, having been carefully prepar ed therefor by cradualing at one of our best colleges. When the war broke out he quickly Rprang to arms, nnd ever since his name 1ms been so prominently before the country as to render it entirely uniiecces sarv to be spoken of here. And now we find him our nominee for Governor. In his own county of Montgomery, and I be lieve you know 1 nm qualified to speak of it. nnd in a position to know, he will re ceive a very large vote outside his own party, such is the esteem with which he is held. How is it with his opponent ? We nil know how he is despised ul home. You better than I, and none so well as his par ty associates, whom he has been so long accustomed to use to his personal advance ment. It may do for him to talk ot his hotety and loyalty away from home, why don't he do so iu old Democratic Col umbia 1 Because they know him bi tter. They know him as thu counsellor of the Eishing Creek Insurrectionists, and they remember when his carriage (by whose or ders ) took the Jail Birds to Buck Horn to vote for himself and other immaculate patterns of honesty, nud champions of Re form and the purity of the ballot I Voting I know not how often, but one can be justified iu supposing, early and often, by the other houorable surroundings of the ease. These are facts, the writer b.'ing in a position nt the lime in the vicinity to know such little matters. Contrast him as I said before with our silent, reserved, but octingGeiieial, the latter with none of the aristocratic haugh tiness of his stay at home opponent. 1 main tain that honorable as was his record iu time of war, his course iu civil position has been as pure and above reproach.
