We publish on our first page this week,
a very clonncnt and tlioroiulilv senrchinff
dereuco or Auditor General llavtrauft's
course in connection with the collection of
Pennsylvania's war claims, Ihe mauner in
which hi forced settlomenU out of the
State agents, and the criminally desperate
character of the crusade made now to 6hov j
that Gen. Ilartranlt had failed in his duty I
as a faithful accounting officer. Mr. Thos.
V. Cooper, the author of the speech to
which we refer, is fully competent to re
view the facts and discuss the circum
stances surrounding this nllair, and we
commend what he says in hia speech to
the careful consideration of mir readers.
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.

Present Taking. Tho Bloomsburg
Republican, snj that Chas..It. Buckalew
possesses- watch which bears upon tho
inner caso tho inscription, "From the
Brewers of Philadelphia for services in de
feating tho temperance laws of tho State."
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. Tho Germans
throughout the 8 la to wo know ore furious
nt this same "lion. Charles H. Buckalew"
for being the author of the law which he
presented in tho Senate, April 13, 1834,
sec Senate Journal of 1854, pajc 004,) en
titled "An act to protect certain domestic
and private rights, and prevent abuses in
the salctttui use of intoxicating liquors."
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).

It would be interesting for Mr. Bucka-
" " "--an:.B, im tl
lew's hearers, while on the stump, to learn
i from him the fact that five thousand dol-
lars would have covered all the legal ex
penses of that coiiniiiltec, and that the
balance is a clear steal for about five days
work in all. Ho might also inform them
that he was chairman of thu committee,
aud could have refused to eudoiso such
outrageous charges, but did'nt and sanc
tioned the robliery.
' F-X-Gov. A. G. 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. Parker,
who were disposed to support Greeley,
have, wo perceive, concluded that they can
not stand the company they were getting
into, nnd have Joined tho Graut and Wil
son Club in West Chester. So it goes
throughout the country. Others reported
as going astray after false gods, aro pro
claiming themselves as resolved to march
with their friends and companions, the
"Boys in Blue," and thus keep step tojtlie
music of tho Union. Il is the ouly posi

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. Cameron nor his
son lire now or ever have been upon the
1 1 I . . . . . ... . . . -
bond given by me to the State, which fact
you can easily verily by application at tiie
Stale Depaatmeut, where my bond is on
tile.
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,

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.

A few Votes not Explained. Aa
Mr. Buckalcw and his friends are in the
way of explaining his record as a Uuitcd
Stales Senator wo submit a few :
January 13, 1854. On tho motion that
Drenchers drafted into the army mau bo
employed in hospitals, Mr. Buckalew

the United Stales.
April 28, 1804. On the passage of an
act to increase tempornrily tho duties on
imports, Mr. Buckalew voted Xay.
(This bciug a free-trade vote, of course
commends Tiim to tho free-trade Buckalew
papers, and at tho same lime favored the
rebels, because it was against raising mon
ey to carry on the war.)
May 11, 1871. On tho passnge of the
National Bauking net, Mr. Buckalew vot

We need scarcely poiut the value of such

Ex-Governor Pollock on Pennsyl
vania. At a large Republican meeting
i held nt Grceiisburg, Westmoreland county,
! on Tuesday, the 20th inst., cx-Governor
! Pollock delivered an address in which ul
I luding to the canvass in Pennsylvania, he
said : "Two things are certain, first, Penn
sylvauiaus are just os sure to go for Graut
aud Wilson as if thu election had taken
nlaee and tho majority been announced.
( Applause.) Second, despite all the alleged
dissatisfaction, despile all opposition. Gen.
Ilartranft would be elected Governor on
the second Tuesday of October. (Loud
applause.) 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. Tho rigid
enforcement of the Ku-klux law by Judge
Jlustced causes Republicans to believe that
there will be a fair election, in which eveut
the State is certain for Graut by tho figures

stntes that the authorities have just dis
covered the existence of a plot to massacre
the I'rotestnnts of that town, on the ter
centenary of tho anniversary of St. Bartho

The revelation of tho plot has created tho
wildest excitement in that town and the
surrounding districts. Tho full details of
tho scheme ore stated to be in the hands of
tho authorities, and tho principals will
doubtless be arrested and severely dealt

it has been considered advisable to distri

Mr. Greeley, as interesting and profitable
reading for Democrats :
If there ever was a corrupt resort known
to Democracy, it is the printing of tho
words "Union Soldiers' Vote" on the back
of a McClellnn Presidential ticket. Tri
bune, O l. 8. 1804.
Why is it we asked the dumb dogs once
more that no single Democratic Legisla
ture has ever passed a Soldiers' Voting
Law. Triiiune, Oct. 10, 1S04.
The proofs go to show that these Copper
heads nre in league wit u jell Davis iX t,o.,
to overthrow the Union nnd drag its frag
ments to the rear of tho slavcholding con
federacy. Tribune, speech of II. G. ,Oct.
1804.
The Democratic party is doomed logo
out like a Chinese liro-woi k, to !o followed
not only by ulter darkness, but by an intol
erably bad smell. It is not only dead, but
it nlready stinketh. Tiuuuxe, Oct. 27,
18(i4.
It is no credit to he a Patriot, but a very
affirmative, positive discredit to be a Cop
perliead. A Kcpnbliean is simply what he
should be, and a Copperhead is we leavo
the reader to decide what a Copperhead is.
Triiiune, Xov. 4, 1804.
.Such is lhe debasement into which the
Democratic party has been tumbled by
those who liud it no longer profitable to ad
mit even its respcctibility. Il is a squeezed
oranire, ,i burnt out rocket, a spiked gun.
aspavined horse, nil addled egg, an inert
and decaying corpse ; til only to be Hung
upon a dunghill, unworlhv of decent tuirial.

Another lireclcj Nlumlcr Exposed.
Washington, August 20. 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. The result shows that the
whole story is an entire fabrication, started
for political ell'eet. mid to Injure Mr. Dun
can's political standing, ns the time ap
proaches for thu Louisville convention.
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.

Chicago is being rapidly reconstructed,
and the class of new business blocks is of
such a substantial and palatial chaiactcr
that there is no doubt the btisiuess section
of the new Chicago will surpass that of any
city of this continent.
The country nlong the lino of the Union
Pacific railroad is filling up at on unprece
dented rate, and towns and villages are
springing up, as if by magic, hundreds of
miles west of Omaha. The red men nre
disappearing before the rolling tide like
snow before the summer sun.
Iowa has a live legged mule, nnd its
ownet did not know what the fifth foot was
for until the other day, when he nttemptcd
to tighten up the breeching before going
down hill. The doctors who patched him
up said they never saw three prettier line
shots in nil their army experience. The
mule can stand on his two fore feel and
kick with all three of his hind feet; and to
see him when he is in motion reminds the
spectator of a buzz saw.
Fifteen cents a bushel is what they ex
pect fur p itatoes in Iowa this fall.
Randall, McCluro, and their associate
reformers, are endeavoring to entice the
colored voters out of the State under the
pre'ence of hiring them to work on a Vir
ginia railroad. Large posters are up in
dill'erent (daces olli-ring colored men "liber
al" wages ns laborers if they will go to
Virginia. It is only a scheme to get them
out of the State before the October election,
else why advertise for colored men only (

Our Philadelphia Letter.
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.
Till next week, jours.
