Now for the sequel. On Monday last the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund one of whom is Justus F. Temple, the new Demo cratic Auditor General met at Har- risburg, and after investigating fully the condition of the Sinking Fond, .hey have published their statement, under oatb, which shows not only that Mr. Mackey is not a defaulter, but that the accounts of both the Sinking Fund and the general Treas ury fund are found to be correct, the money intact,and that there is on hand the handsome balance of a quarter of a million of dollars. Thus the Demo cratic Auditor General has publicly sworn that all these charges against Mr. Mackey, made by his political partisans, arc utterly false, and the trrund conspiracy azainst 1 reasurer o a Mackey and the Republican party is exploded. uirr no ucjivsucu- vwm lueni ; millions Of course the wildest ex tbe ct edit of the State.

Having thus dumbfounded bis en emies, and squelched their cunningly concocted riot to destroy the faith of the people in the integrity of the present State administration, it was to be inferred that further assaults on Mr. Mackey would 1 . dropped, bnt the hope of making some capital out of the Treasury management, so long and fondly cherished, could not be abandoned without a further at tempt, and bo tbe Philadelphia Time plaintively mourns over the fact that Mr. Mackey "believes the first duty of a State officer is to elect the Re publican candidates," and that the powers of the Treasury may be em ployed to secure political success. What a dreadful thing this is to be sure, that a Republican officer should use the influence which bis position rives him. to insure tbe success of bis party's candidates, and how deftly this complaint lies in tbe mouth of the editor of the Tone or of any other Democratic politician That party never acted upon thc de claration "to "tic victors belong the spoils," nor ever used present politi cal power to pcrpettiate its continu ance in office, nothing but the purest patriotism ever influenced it cither in or out of power, as witness the moving causes of "the late unpleas antness. How tsiirriiucant of the utter fail ure of the conspiracy against Mr. Mackey and the Republican party, is the change of tune from charges of defalcation and fraud to whimperings over the use of official influence for party purposes. The Democratic banditti went out a shearing and came home shorn. There is a report current that should Mr. Delano resign the Secre taryship of the Interior, Mr. Arm strong, of this State, will succeed him. Tbe position was offered to ex Senator Sott, but he declined to ac cept for private reasons. It thus seems entirely probable that tbe next Cabinet appointment will come to this State. Sr.v.'Rt:TAay Uristow's monthly Ma'.ctnent of the public debt i-hows a reduction for July f over one mil li:a two hundred thousand dollars. These steady monthly reductions Kprak well for Republican manage ment of tLc Treutury, and wi h wise people will be a strong reason against a cbauge of power ti Democratic! hinds, l tre governmmt finances : that State have Ik en invariably mis-managed. Every dollar of debt due from tbe State of Pennsylvania to its bond holders cna now be presented to the Treasurer and it will be redeemed. Tbe outstanding over-due bonds on the first of August amounted to $434,S.")0. The .Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have parsed a resolu tion to notify the holders of these bonds that the interest will cease af ter uiuety days. Tbe Xew York UtrJ is particularly interested at the present time about tbe Pennsyl vania finances.

The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund met here to day, in conformity with law. The State Treasurer sub mitted a statement showing the balance in tbe Sinking Fund to be $435,533,08. hereupon tbe tol lowing was offered by Secretary Quar, and unanimously adopted : "lleaolced.

If he found them correct and the Treasury intact the public ebould also know it. Well. Mr. Temple has now examined the accounts, vouchers, safe, and banks; will he keep his promise'? Let the public bear from the Democratic Aud itor General. "We believe he intends to be honest; we ire not of the clag The State Treasurer, Auditor General and Secretary of the Com monwealth, composing the Roard of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, met yesterday at tbe cspitol, and having in conformity with law ap plied the entire balance in tbe Sink ing lund to tbe pavment ot tne pub lic debt, transcended the requirements of the law by calling in and stopping interest, after the first day of Novem ber next, upon the sum of $72,000 ol State indebtedness, for thc redemp tion of which tba Sinking Fund was not in immediate condition, rclvinjr probably upon tbe receipts next two months to provide payment. The debt thus called for redemption, amounting to $508,018 2fi, includes all the indebtedness of thc Common wealth which was matured, or will mature, before 1877. Thc Sicking Fund Commission is thus brought to a dead halt in its operations. The Commissioners cannot go into open market to purchase the State loan at a premium nor can tbey stop inter est upon any portion of it nntil it be comes due in 1S77. Until legislation is had to provide for the difficulty thc Commission is powerless; and in the meantime what is to become of tbe Democratic clamor over the misman agement of the Sinking Fund? How can it be mismanaged when it cannot be managed at all. With three months yet intervening previous to the Gubernatorial elec tion, this action of the Commissiocrs, virtually taking the Sinking Fund question out of .be canvass, is unjus tifiable and intolerable, and upon the part of Auditor General Temple simply inexplicable. He will be call ed to answer at the bar of his party for this ill-advised destruction of half its stock in trade for the present cm paign. Formerly the Commission was em powered to purchase tbe loan of the State at its current price in open mar ket, but the practice was believed to enure rather to the profit of the Treas urer than of the Commonwealth ; and tbe enabling statute was accordingly repealed. Its re-enactment would; seem Decessarv to prevent a glut iu i the Sinking Fund, unless the Legis lature shall see proper, relieving the State Treasurer and his sureties, to loan out the public funds to thc high est bidders. ine Mate loan is beld at a preini-j urn oi irom 4 to per cent, and is never presented for payment until the holders are forced to come in by tbe stoppage of the interest upon their bands. Appended is a schedule of the loan of the State, for which no provision has been yet made, showing the amount and date of maturity of each? crs. evervbodv. were rushinsr franti cally up and down the street, banks were besieged for bulanees, stocks went down with a run. and for an hours or two it seemed as though all Wall Street was crazy. Finally the excitement cooled, and it was dis coved that it wasn't much of a shower after all. Xo more failures were announced that day, and men slept tolerably well that night. Rut tbe next day tbe Commercial Ware house Campanv tailed tor a million and a half, and thc excitement was re newed, and it is still raging. What ".he upshot of it all will be remains to be seen. Shrewd men are taking in sail and going as elose recfed as possible. Another weed-ing-out, such as occurred lifter Jay Cooke's failure, is feared, for tbe rea son that since 1873 everybody has been doing less business at a loss; but as money has been easy to get, any quantity of weak houses have been able to conceal their weakness and go on. To such, these heavy failures that shake the Street are death.

The moment the scandal was made public the sale of Reecher's books dropped to almost nothing, and it has been growing worse since. Tbe firm bad an immense amount of money locked np in the first volume of "The Life of Christ," and a3 they couldn't get it out, down they went. Everybody connected with this matter has had trouble except Reech- er. .'le is as serene as a May morn ing; his salary has been raised to $100,000 per year; his followers ac company him to the depot in droves; big ovations are being given hiia, and all sorts of pleasant things are showered upon him. In the mean time, Mrs. Tilton is about to open a boarding-bouse, and J. R. Ford & Co. fail. Henry Ward ought to come to thc relief of both of them, lie ought to buy all of bis books that Ford & Co. have on hand and give them to Mrs. Tilton, who could, doubtless, dispose of them for something. That would let them both out of the trouble be plunged them into. Hut 1 guess he won't do it. Speaking of MRS. TILTON", something ought to be done for her. If Rcecher is innocent of course she is; but for all that the trial has ruiued ber. She has never a penny to bless herself with, and the scaddal has barred her from almost every em ployment thc is fitted for." The odore is even poorer than she, for be had nothing before the trial, and now ho has the enormous expenses attending that to stagger under: so he can't help her if he would. It seems to me that Plymouth Church should stand by her in her trouble as it has by it3 pastor. The church is rich, and to give this helpless woman a moderate support for herself and children would not be a serious bur den. IX THE DEMOCRATIC CAMP. there is trouble of a very serious na ture. The ruling powers in Tamma ny have made war upon John Mor risey, and have the expugilist, at present writing, fairly down, though faro John is making a vigorous effort to get up again. It is said that, this movement is to pave the way for Tweed to again take tbe reins. The old man is confident of getting his liberty in a very short time, and once at liberty he has followers enough to take possession of Tammany, and consequently the city. If this hap pens what a day of reckoning there will be. All the Democrats who went back on the Doss to save them selves at the time the reform move ment commenced, will be held to a strict account all the shysters now in office, wbi supriosinir him dead gave hi in tne fold snouliJcr, will be slaughtered without mercy, and tbe Tammany Republicans who joined in the hue aad cry against him will wish they had never been born. Tweed has a long memory and sharp claws. Those who are in the secrets of political matters in the city assert, that once let the Ross set his ponder ous foot on the pavements of Xew Yoik, a free man, he can rally a stronger party to his suppor, than ever. The lower classes of Pern - General George E. Pickett, died Friday night, at Xorfolk, Va.; after a brief illness. He was born in Virgi nia in 1825, and entered the Military Arndpmrat West Point from that State in 1842. lie went to the Mex ican war with the rank of second lieutenant, and acted with bravery at the battles of Coutreras and Churu busco. He also behaved gallantly in storming EI Molino del Rey, and won the bre vet of captain at Chapultepec. At. ihA outbreak of the civil war he joined the Confederate army as a commander oi irgiuia vuiuuit-rr, and soon gained high rank and dis tinction. He was present in nearly nil the battles fought in the early seven years of tbe war by the Army of Xorthern Virginia, serving both as brigade and division commander. His most conspicuous services dur ing tbe war was in the Pennsylvania campaign of 18G4. At the battle of Gettysburg be led with bis division of Virginians tbe memorable charge upon the Union forces holding Ceme tery Hill. His troops fought desper ately, encourged by bis gallant words and bearing, and tbe havoc in their ranks was appalling. Every briga dier general in the division was either killed or wouuded, the colonels of five Virginia regiments were among the slain, and of tweuty-four regimental officers, only two escaped unburt. Anions: bis brigade com manders on this occasion was Gen J. L. Kemper, the present Governor of Virginia. Subrequently Gen. Pickett served in the defenses of Richmond, and was actively engag ed until the close of .the war, wh en be retired to private life. Gen.

The Scioto river is still rising, and is over the entire valley, the depth of water ranging from five to thirty feet. Ry actual count he reports three thousand acres of corn jrone, causinrj an entire loss to tb) owners. The crop prom ised an average yield of sixty bushels to the acre Ibis loss occurs in a territory only sixteen miles long, lying in Scioto county- These fig ures will probably be increased br tbe entire destruction of the wheat crop and most of the hay. North west from tbe Scioto line tbe devas tation continues probably all the way to Columbus. Residents of the val ley for fifty years say that no similar destruction of crops by an overflow has ever occurred before. Tbe river has been higher, but not at this sea son of tbe year. Tho loss in this val ley alone estimated at over half a million dollars. Cincinnati , Augnst 4.

A dispatch Irom Carbon ville, Ills., says another assassination, growing out of tbe Rol-linger-Russel feud, in Williamson county, Ills., was committed, on Sat urday night, at Crainville. William Spcnce, a merchant at that place, had retired for tbe night in a room over bis store. About one o'clock be was aroused by two unkuown men, who said they desired to make some pur chases. Spence got up, Tvent down stairs, and while pulling on List-hces, previous to ope-iing bis store door, be was fired on twice, both shots tak ing eflVct iu the abdomen, killing him. The store was ransacked, but few art icles taken, and Spence's empty pocket-book was fouud a short distance from tbe store. The real cause of the crime is not known, but is attrib uted to the fact that Spcnce enterain ed some fiiends who attended Geo. W. Sisner's funeral on Friday last. This ia the twenty seventh murder committed since the feud between the Rollingerand Russell families be gan, a few years ago. The ransack ing of SpenceV store is considered as a blind to make people think the mur der wis committed for plunder. Omaha, Augnst 7.
