' . EM'L WllA'ERT, Chairman. I.. M. MORTON, Bee'y. : Ocn State Ticket. The State Con vention put a ticket in the field on Wed nesday last which will moet the npproval of the Republicans throughout the State. For Stnto Treasurer, R. W. Mnckcy of Al legheny, was nomiualcd, which wns emi nently in response to tho popular demand. Mr. Mackcy's nomination, and tho nian- tier in which it was done, is an honor which will be worthily worn in tho futnre by a continued faithful performance of du ty, such at has mode his administration as the financial officer of the State a benefit to the people, and a credit to tho Old Key stone, The Republican party has no fir mer adherent than he, and just as faithful as ' ho has been in the performance of his official duties, so has he been true to Lis party obligations. . Judge Gordon's nomination, while it was surprising to many, as not much noise was made in his behalf, is not illogical or un fair, but is one of those eminently right re sults which only become fully appreciated for their value when the facts surrounding it are all known. He is from a section of the State not represented on the Supremo Bench, and yet it is a very important lo cality, with litigation constantly being ap pealed to the higher courts, of the utmost value. The oil regions now furnish some of tho most important suits argued in the Supreme Court, involving land titles and rights to other property which require a personal knowledge of the Judges who are to bear such appeals Judge Gordon's no mination will fill this demand, which, add ed to the fact that he already has expe rience on the Bench, and is a lawyer of fine culture, will make him an acceptable can didate to the people of his region as well as to those of the entire State. With such candidates wo may well be proud, and with them, as standard bearers, we have no fear of the result of the contest before us. . All that is required is that eve ry llepublican do his duty that he be true to his principles, and victory will crown the result. Sam Randall has issued his call for the Democratic State Convention, but he fails to say one word iu behalf of or against back-pay. There is a vast deal of gas blown off in Democratic papers about this back-pay ; but you do i.ot find Democratic Conventions denouncing it anywhere. Even the Democratic Convention iu Ohio shirked it, and had not a word to say against either back-pay or increased pay. Indeed, it rather seemed to approve of increased pay, for in its platform it prescribes, as its reme dy for the increasing cost of the , govern ment to the people, not the reduction of salaries, but the reduction of tho number of officers. It thinks the number of officers can be so much reduced as to cut down the cost of government without cutting down ' salaries. Perhaps it iB philosophical to look on the matter in that way ; but this gingerly method of dualiug with so grave a ques tion as that involved in the back-pay and increased pay of Congressmen, does uot strike us either bold or ktatesmaulikc. U. S. Mint. The gold deposits at the United States Mint for the month of July were to the amount of $3,147,577 41, and the silver deposits and purchases for tho same time were $41.135 40, lieiug a total of S3.1S0.51-2 81.

The silver coiuage was $W.),200 in the new trade dollar pieces, $00 in half dollar pieces, $25 in quarter dollar . pieces, ana enu m uirr.e pieces, besides 15,2r 28 in fine bars making a total of silver or the value of 1144.541 88. There was coined of nickel, In rive cent pieces, $15,050, and of bronze, of 1 cent pieces, $13,105. The total number of pieces of all kinds coined during the month is 1,782,850, f the total value of $3.21R,27 56. This is the first report including any coiuago of the uew trade dollar. The Czar of Russia has sent order to the (neral commanding his troops at Khi va, to-proceed against the various Turco man tribe which have been troublesome to the Russians- for some time past' This is interpreted 'as involvln h1 purpose to ex tend operations Into Afghanistan, and to wards British India. While it is uot thought that the Russian Emperor desires to invade or even tlueateu the British dow- er in India, it is believed that he will gather uuuer nis oanuor I lie various wandering tribes of Central Asia, and extend his con quests to the borders of British ludia. ..

Uentknutn of the Convention I tbaukyou tion. During the short time ho has eslab lished a State policy which has just endear ed Inni to the people of this Coinmou wealth, and has amply justified the confidence wo have placed iu bim. 4. That while earnestly in favor of Con stitutional Reform, and of such a revision of our State Constitution as will make it an effective iustrument in preventing and uuuishins tho corrupt abuses that have crept in uuder our prescut system, we do- maud, emphatically and especially, that whateverta doue or left uudoue, tho main purpose for which the Constitutional Convention was called the absolute pre vention of special legislation shall be so placed before tho eoplo ns to secure thuir se pernio and decisive expression thereon. 5. That tho reduction of the Stale debt from $41,000,000 to $20,000,000; tho repeal of all State taxes on real estate ; the estab lishment of schools for the support of sol diers' orphans ; tho maintenance of our excellent and and prosperous system of common schools; aud the establishment of the policy of pay iug off our debt at the rate of 32,000,000 a year ; together with the generally flourishing condition of our pros perous old Commonwealth, are evidences that the Repulicans, during their twelve years' control iu Puuusylvanio, have faith fully administered her affairs, and that tho reins of government may be safely left in their hands. 0. That there should be rigid economy in the State and Natioual Administrations, aud tho taxes sliould reduced in both as rapidly as consistcntwith cood Government. the maintenance of the pulic credit and cer tain extinguishment ol Mate aud atiouul debts. 7. That the public lauds belong to the people, aud should be sacredly reserved tor homes for actual seltlers, and wo pro nounce agaiust all further grauts of these lauds to corporations. 8. That adequate precisision should be made by law for the protection of persons engaged in miuiug aud other hazardous forms of labor. it. That as retrenchment is required to lighten the burden of taxation, aud to con tiuuo the reduction of the public debt, an increase of salaries is unwise, and we con demn, without reserve, voting for or receiv ing increased pay for services already ren dered, whether in State or Nation, and do maud that the provisions of the lute act of Congress by which the salaries were in creased should promptly aud uncondition ally be repealed. 10. Tliat we heartily denounce corrup tion wherever fouud, aud are sincerely desirous for honest economy and political purity in all official administralious. To secure this is tho duty of every citizen, and to this end every good mau should feel bound, not only to particulate in politico. but to labor actively to see that noue but good men secure party appointments or nominations. 11. That the practice of loading tho ap propriation bill, essential to the support of the government, with obiectlonaule legis lation, iu the shape of amendments, to wards the close of the session, is a prolific source ol abuse, aud a fraud upon the peo ple, and its reform is urgcutly demaued. 12. That as the country and home indus try have both uniformly prospered under a tariff so arranged as to allord both reve nue and protectiou, the present tariff should bo left undisturbed ; aud as all tariffs are levied primarily for reveuue, it would be a poor government, indeed, which could uot afford to arrange its details so as to encour age the growth of home manufactures, aud the creation of a remunerative home mark et for all the products of our soil. 13. That order and security iu the States lately iu rebellion must come through the stern enforcement of the laws enacted to protect life, liberty and the freedom of thought, and cannot be secured by render ing these and necessary laws Inoperative through executive clemency to unrepentant assassins now undergoing puounmcnt in pursuance or taw 14.

The steamer, was without a second's delay, headed for the shore on the Virginia side, and in a few minutes ran aground about two hundred yards from tho. Virginia shore. At litis time the flames had spread with fearful rapidity, and in the excitement many jumped overlxmrd. Several of them jumped iuto the water be fore the steamer struck bottom. She was provided with but two small boats, and in tho corner ; I then struck tho old man again, this timo leaving him for dead ; I limn went up stairs, cut open the chest, and look all the contents thereof; I carried two bans out to Harvey's farm, one filled with silver and the other with gold : 1 sup pose Uh' old man is nearly crazy on ac count of the people anxious to fiud tho money trampling dowu his farm and crops ; ! I was a d d fool for not getting out, as I , had from that night until the next day to ' do so before any oue knew about the affair ; . hut I am satisfied as I was to be caught ; ; though, if I had escaped, .1 intended to , have returned in a short lime, as I knew a woman mat lived at jioomin; urovc the frenzy of the moment one of these boats : iht noswAsod monev which f lie kept in a was thrown overboard and lost by the pas- trunk ; she made her bed on it and slept seugers, who, uncontrolled, were endeavor- thorn ; I had my oye on her and was going ing to launch her.
