The "Republican State Convention" will meet at the "Ilerdic House," in Williams port, on Wednesday, the 26th of June next, at 10 o'clock, A. 3i. , to nominate a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court, and to in itiate proper measures for the ensuing State canvass. As heretofore, the Convention will be composed of Representative and Senato rial Delegates, chosen in the usual way, and equal in number to the whole of the Sena tors and Representatives in the General As sembly. By order of the State Central Com mittee. F. Jordan, Chairman. RiGm ! We' see it stated that the Union Leagues, in the State of New York, have determined not to permit the subject of Le gislative' corruption in that Commonwealth to rest, but will continue their efforts to have the guilty punished, and the public protected from the consequences of that sort of official unfaithfulness. It seems that New York and Pennsylvania have similar reputations in reference to legislative cor ruption, but in this State no such organized body, as the Union League, has shown a willingness to attempt the work of reform ; nor is there any need for the interference of any organization outside of the Republican party, in that direction. The party is fully equal to the work, if individual members will but do their duty ; and, that the Re publicans may not hereafter be accused of being derelict, we hope they will pursue such a course in all their proceedings as though they meant to discharge the impor tant obligation resting upon them. Post Office Robbf.ries. Some sis or eight post offices, in this State, have been broken into and robbed, within a few weeks the latest being those at Marietta and York. At Marietta. trie thieves oVtarc ' but a few dollars in change, two bottles o communion wine, belonging to the Episeo pal congregation, and a large number of let ters, for their trouble. Whether the letters contained any valuables is not stated. At York, however, they were more successful The safe was dragged into the yard and blown open,- and about $1,000 worth of postage stamps and 150 in money, taken therefrom. The thieves are still at large. American Securities. The threatened European War has had the influence to create great demand for American securi ties. Holders of the bonds of European governments are selling out at every oppor tunity to invest their capital in American securities. Our bonds are now worth more in Europe than are those of any of the gov ernments of the Old World. This speaks well for the credit of the American people, and is an evidence of the confidence enter tained by shrewd financiers in the stability of Republican government. From Russia. -The latest steamer brought the first expression from Russia in regard to the cession of territory to the United States. The Journal of St. Petersburg publishes an article referring to the premature opinions expressed by the Russian newspapers on the sale of Russian-America to the United States. It says: "We can only state that the transaction is mutually advantageous, and that the ports of Eastern Siberia will be granted certain privileges, and that the Commercial interests of both countries will be promoted." In the suit against Major General Wool, " for false imprisonment, biought by a citizen of Baltimore, the jury have rendered a ver dict of one cent damages, and each party to pay its own costs. We trust this decision, together' with that in the Mississippi injuc tioncase, will satisfy the litigious disloyalists. The New . York Election. The vote for delegates to the Constitutional Conven tion has resulted in the election of one hun dred Republicans and sixty Democrats. The Republican majority throughout the State is about 20,000. The vote was a small one. Convicted. Sandford Conover, the wit ness against Jeff Davis before the Investi gating Committee of Congress, has been convicted of perjury and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in th penitentiary at Albany, New York. , .' Sold. The canal from Hollidaysburg to Colnmbij, has been sold by the Penn'a Railroad Company to the Pennsylvania Ca nal Company. J. Edgar Thompson is Pre sident of the latter company. The regimental fl igs of the regular army are to be inscribed with the names of all the battles in which such organizations participated. 4 The Injunction Cases. The Attorney-General in his argument in support of the motion to dismiss the Missis sippi and Georgia injunction bills, plainly ays that all his political sympathus are with his judicial opponents, lliesc sympa thies, however, have not. prevented Mr. Stansbery from clearly and forcibly present ing the legal reasons why these bills should not be argued before the Supreme Court. lis Srst objection, if considered valid by the Court, makes the others unnecessary, and is alone sufficient ground for the dis missal of the suits. That objection is that the power of the Court to determine contro versies between a State and a citizen of another State, does not give it jurisdiction in these suits, which, though in terms placed within its jurisdiction, are, in fact, without it. The suit of Georgia, the Attorney-G en eral argues, is not brought against General Grant as a citizen, but as an officer of the United States; not, in fact, against Mr. Stanton, but against the Secretary of War. Further, it is a suit against Congress. "If there is a power in this Court," says Mr. Stansbery, "to veto laws which the people "consider wholesome and necessary, and "instruct their Representatives to pass, it ' is high time that they should know it ; but 'such a power has never been invoked." In this it is not argued that where the rights of an individual are outraged by unjust laws he may not appeal to the Court for protec tion, and Mr. Stansbery appears to give Mr. Jenkins, of Georcia, the hope that after the law is executed he mny properly bring a suit before the Court ; but he denies that the laws of the United States can be nulli fied by the Court before they are executed, and upon the mere hypothesis that they will work injury to individuals. The whole case of Georgia, in his own words, is an uncer tain contingent, and the real point at issue is declared to be beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, and only to be decided by the people. Of the ability of this argument there can be no question, and it will do much to remove the vauge supposition that the Supreme Court possesses the power to de termine any question that may be brought before it, and even to nullify at its pleasure the acts of the co-ordinate branches of the Government. The Indian War. Despatches have been received from General Custer, dated "Headquarters, peserted Cheyenne Camp, April 13, 1S07," in which he says the Indians had burned three stations on Smoky Hill route, killed three men, and sc:ilned and burned them. Orders have beeu s-cnt to eacli post on ttie Sauta Vc aud c.i.- ir:ii t i informing them that the Indians had broken out at last, and intended to be true to threats which they issued during the winter. The raid is attributed to the Sioux, who en camped with the Cheyennes in this village. Gen. Custar has divided his command, tak ing five companies of cavalry himself, to pursue the main body of the Cheyernes and Sioux, and three companies' of cavalry after the band that committed the raid, and who are supposed to be part of those Sioux that committed the massacre -at Phil. Kear ney. We strike out to Fort Dodge to-morrow. The council between te Special Com missioners and the Brute and Ogalalla bands of Sioux Indiaus, representing seven hun dred warriors has been concluded. The In dians agreed to go upon a temporary reser vation along the river Republican during the existing hostilities. A general Indian war seems likely to occur, yet every effort is being made to avoid it. Just So ! There is a use for the Russian Possessions recently purchased by Secretary Seward, as appears by "this suggestion of the Chicago Post : "What to do with the Mormons wns evi dently in the mind's eve of the Prime Min ister when he bought Russian America. He knew that they would have to leave Utah before long, and so he provided a new terri tory where the much-married could go 'seal ing' to their heart's content." If the icicles of Russian America can be made servieable in cooling the passions of the polygamists of Utah, Mr. Seward hasnot cast away the people's millions tor naught. At least one hundred thousand dollars have been "collected in Pennsylvania in aid of the Pope. It is estimated that a million and a half dollars have been collected for the same purpose in the United States. Monroe, ex-mayor of New Orleans, and the wretch who encouraged the murder of the black loyalists of that city, has "left the country for t he country's good," and perma nently settled in Canada. A. W. Benedict, Esq., Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, for some years past, died suddenly at his. home, in Huntingdon, on Sunday morning last. A new rebellion has been organized in Tennessee by starting thirteen new cotton lactones. The intention is to conquer New England spinsters and bring them down., Nearly all the German papers are for war rather than the cession of Luxumbourg to France. They think the King of Prussia is too moderate on this subject, . The tobacco crop of Virginia, now coming into market, is om of the largest and best raised for many years past, and is command ing extraordinary prices. Corrupt Legislation Party Eesponsibility. The Brooklyn. Eagle gives tongue in the desperate hunt for Copperhead capital amid the offensive remains of our late Legisla ture. It states the case thus: 'Len-itilatlve corruption has reached stich a higbt at Albany that even the journals published in rh interest of the arty wuich control it are compelled to denounce it. In doing so. howevej-, they make tire point that it is not fair to hold the Republican party responsible for it. for the rea son that the Democratic minority are seldom un represented in the votes by which notoriously ne farious schoiues are carried through the Legisla ture. The point. In our opinion, is not well ta ken. Under a representative government the party which administers its affairs for the time being is justly held responsible for any grievance the people may have to complain of, which it may be within the powerof a government to remedy.' The doctrine here put forth 2y the Eagle is a virtual proclamation to the political mi nority in every legislative or municipal body "Steal all you may; sell your votes regular ly to the highest bidder; be as corrupt,as " mercenary, as rascally as you can ; for the "People will charge all the misdoings of "your body to the political majority; so "that the more profligate you are, the more "capital you will make for your own party.' To state this proposition lucidly is to refute it. Let us illustrate the Eagle's doctrine by a ready example. Let us suppose the Assembly to be composed of 68 Republicans and 60 Democrats. The usual tempters proffer the usual temptations to venality; but the great mass of the Re publicans, fear ing the consequences of yielding to their partr, spurn the lures of the Lobby. The great body of the Democrats, on the other hand, seeing that whatever ill tame may be achieved by this Legislature will be so much capital for their Democratic party, "go in" for all they can make. Thus 50 Demo crats and 10 Republicans conspire to pass all manner of corrupt measures, in defiance of the best efforts of the 5S Republicans and 4 Democrats who sternly but fruitlessly re sist them, lbe hagle sdo tnne is that the Republicans should be held responsible for every bill thus passed, and should be hurled from power because of its passage. Such logic insults the common sense of man kind. y. V. Tribune. The Latest Philadelphia Horror. A brief telegram on Friday morning an-, nounced the murder of Mrs. Dorcas Magil ton, aged sixty-two, at her husband's resi dence. It seems the husband, Mr. Adam Magilton, aged seventv-tive, left his dwell ing about i! o'clock, P. M., Friday, April 2'jth, for a store near by to make a purchase. On re'urning le was admitted to his house by a young man named George W. Wine more, who informed him that his wife was murdered. He accompanied Winemore to the kitchen, and there a horrible sight met his vision. Extended on the floor lay the wife, her skull cru.-hc-d in by blows from a hammer, and her throat cut from ear to ear. The hammer was close to her head, but no knife or any other sharp instrument could be found in the room in which the throat had been cut. A razor belonging to Winemore was subsequently found in the yard attached to the premises. -The mur dered woman was the mother of- General I Joseph Mugilton. oiia oi" th bravo . brl commanders of the Pennsylvania lies serve Corps. Wmeinore, who was recently dis charged fiom the regular army, was on friendly terms with the family, and took his meals at their house. 1 he motive of the murder is unknown. He was promptly ar rested and committed to prison India Shawls. An English paper says that the best cashmere shawls, the long shawls with plain ground, crimson, purple, blue, green or yellow green are best nev er cost less than 135 a pair, and are never sold sin sly. The next kind, or square shawls, much m- re frequently imported into Europe are either loom worked or nee Jle-worked : needle-worked being the more original, and thev cost from 'oQ to .0 m the 1 eniaub, without freight, or interest or profit to the importer, little facts which we commend to the attention of women who think they can buv the best cashmere at 15 to 20 each. What they do buy is either an imitation which was never in India at all, or a Delhi shawl, very good in its way, but no more ap- proat-hmff a cashmere shawl in beauty than in durability. A man might lie on heather in a black cashmere for twentv lears. and it would be as perfect as on the first day, while every imitation whatever will die out. A Wonderful Gun. Norman Wiard has made a proposal to the War Depart ment to construct an 8-inch rifle which shall stand all the following tests, or be consider ed a failure : lie will fire sixty pounds of powder and a four hundred pound shot. Then twenty rounds with thirty pounds of powder and a two hundred pound shot. lie will then evlode a shell at the bottom of the bore ; then a shell in succession at suc cessive distances toward the muzzle. Then he will simuhaneouly explode the bore filled with shells, and fiifally, will fiic thirty pounds of powder behind a shell so fixed in the bore as not to be forced out bv firm" off .1 l rnt . n .i " , iue uiiarge. jlub cost. 01 me gun, mounted, to be $3,000. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has transmitted to the local offices at St. Peter and Winnebaeo, City, Minnesota, lists of the lands apportioned to the State by the Secretary of the Interior as inuring thereto under the act of September 4, 1S41 granting 500.000 acres- to each State for works of internal improvement. These lists embrace an aggregate of 252,129 acres. A colored individual named Ash was elect ed one of the Commissioners of Plymouth, North Carolina, at an election held there recently. He is considered one of the best selections that could have been made, and as part of his policy he has declared that he will oppose the arming of the negroes for fear they might shoot a negro acciden tally instead of a white man. An important decision, and one that will be of special interest to steamboatmcn and orners navigating the great rivers and lakes of the West, ou Monday, April 22. It was held that the laws of Congress of 17S9 and 1845 gave the United States District Court exclusive jurisriif-iion without limitation on both rivers and lakes, and whereer ships and steamboats float and are engaged in commerce. An Indian got drunk in Bangor, Maine a few nights since, and was taken to the watch house. On being pressed to tell where he got his liquor, he said with em phasis, "Injua drink, but no squawk urn.' ' Washington City Gossip. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received telegrams from Gen. Sully, Presi dent of the Commission to investigate the massacre at Fort Phil. Kearney, which state that after great difficulty they succeeded in getting the Agadola and Brute Sioux in for a talk, representing three hundred and fifty lodges. A satisfactory arrangement was made with them, and the General thinks it can safely be said they have prevented over seven hundred warriors joining the war par ty. At Fort Laramie the Commission hope to be successful in preventing many more Sioux from joining the war party. The commutation of twenty-five cents per day for rations of enlisted men who have been prisoners of war, is now being paid at the office of the Commissary General of Prisoners in Washington. None, are enti tled but soldiers, sailors and marines. Gen. Spinner, Treasurer, on April 27th, received thirty-five hundred dollars from Cincinnati, which he has credited to the conscience fund. No explanation accompa nied it. Twenty-five hundred were iu one envelope and one thousand in another. Intelligence from Richmond shows that it is after all again in doubt as to whether Judge Underwood will essay the trial of Jeff Davis at the May term of the United States District Court. If the term be ad journed without such trial, it is said the President has determined to at once release Davis from confinement at Fortress Monroe on nominal bail, The President has in his possession a letter signed by leading Repub licans asking that Davis be released," and al so a proposition from Mr. Greeley offering to be cue of Davis's bondsmen. Gen. Howard, at ajjublic meeting here ou the 24th, stated that there were 12,000 col ored schools in the country, and that 000 of the number were supported by the colored people. lie also added that one million of dollars had beeu deposited by the freedmen iu one of the banks during the past year. Cultivation of Indian Corn. The Gcrmantotcn Telegraph says : As the time has neariv arrived for farmers to commence preparing the soil for the reception of coin, it mav be useful to give a few hints connect ed with this important crop. Experience demonstrates that the soil should be plowed to a depth of not Jess than six inches When the ground is thus prepared future cultivation becomes comparatively easy, as but little exertion is necessary to keep the ground mellow, free from grass and noxious weeds. .besides otner benefits resulting from deep plowing, the soil becomes pulver ized to a considerable depth, enables tin moisture to rise to the surlace during a dry season, and in a wet season facilitates the ulisorption of water. The corn crop, or any other prolluct of the iarni, cannot be made profitable without the due application of somcmanuiial agent containing the constit uents adapted in a general way to the soil. If this fertilizer is not made upoB the prem 'ises, in sufficient quantity to meet the re quirement of the farm, it must be procured elsewhere. It is therefore important in this contingency that the most valuable should be obtained, and this can best be done by buying from reliable manufacturers of concentrated manures which have stood repeated trials. Upon several farms in the vicinity of Germantown, Baugh's raw-bone phosphate was used last j'ear for corn with decided success, the yield in .several instan- exceeding the expectation of the purchasers 1 his is incontestible evidence of its value with those who have used it as well as with o. hers who observed its beneficial effects. Commencing the first year with a few huu dred tons, Messrs. f'aui?h Sc Son now man ufacture from ten to fifteen thousand tons per annum, with prospect of still more ex tensive sales." In order to promptly supply the demand in other States, Messrs. Baugh & Son have located ofii-x?s in nearly all tbe principal cities in the Union. . A Youthful Murderer. A correspon dent in Fairview township, furnishes the York County Democrat with the following: "A mosl dreadful and inhuman act w;;s committed by a boy in this township, near Wolf's station on the Northern Central Rail road, on Monday, April. 15th. The name of the young monster is Frederick HufTstott. While his mother and elder brother wasab. sent from home', he attempted, to take the life of his two little sisters and a child in the cradle, byhooting them with a revol ver, which happened to be in the house at the time. Two barrels of the pistol were loaded with powder and balls, and another with powder onty. In firing the first shot he inflicted a flesh wound of the scapula of one of the girls the second shot took effect in the neck of the other girl the thin! load, containing powder only, he discharged in the face of the infant. The injuries are fortu nately not of a very serious character, and good hopes of the recovery of the children are entertained. The boy has always been a very bad and desperate character. He is about thirteen years of age, and fatherless, his father having died in the war. Much excitement prevails in the neighborhood in consequence of this - heinous attempt at wholesale murder." Ford's Theatre, Washington city, where Mr. Lincoln was so foully murdered, is now occupied as the office of the Surgeon Gene ral. Each story has been divided into sepa rate floors.and all around its walls are cum brous cases where are placed for preserva tion the aggregated records of thaj bureau during the war. Not a trace is left within its walls to point out the great wrong that w-s wrought. The little building which joined it, anil in vh'n-h Booth, and Spang jer, and the othet assassins met and took a parting drink, has also given way to a more pretentious structure. Louis Napoleon's preseut position is thus defined by a London journal. : "Ordered out of Mexico, defeated at Nikolsburg, de fied iu Schleswig, resisted in Luxemburg, abused in Auxcrre, with no Liberties to of fer to Frauce and new sacrifices to demand from his people, the Emperor, to keen his se;it, must accomplish some great thing. His claim to reign is Success, and m Mexi co and Germany, at home and abroad, he has or late been unsuccessful. A Eomance of Crime. Blandville, Ballard County, Ky., April 12. The usual quiet of this little village has been disturbed by an incident of great moment to us, and one which forcibly illus trates the old sayings that "murder will out and "a woman can not keen a secret. About eleven years ago there came to this county, and settled about five miles from this town, a man named Hudson, of South Carolina, in which State be abandoned his wife and three children. One of his neigh bors, named Belcher, was the father of two buxom daughters, between the younger of whom, aged fifteen, and Hudson, there sprang up an intimacy, which resulted in the seduction of the girl.. Nine years ago, this month, Hudson com mitted suicide, and was foiiud in the garret of his house, hanging by the neck, his knees touching the floor. lie must have commit ted the deed some four or five days before his body was discovered, as t he remains had commenced to decay, and one side of the face and ear were much eaten away by tbe rats. A Coroner's inquest was held over the body, and a verdict of suicide returned. One of the jurors, however, noticed some thing like a piece of iron in the ear of the deceased, but did not examine it very minute ly, nor did he mention t lie fact for some time after. The younger Belcher girl married a man named MeN'abb, with whom she had since lived very happily, notwithstanding she became a mother in a few months after marriage. The family prospered ; the older sister likewise married, and was much re spected, none of the neighbors having aught to say against either of (he girls. lut there was a skeleton in both households, and the sisters, as they plodded along the journey of life, were continually harassed by lears and doubts, each striving in vain to lay the vis ions which haunted their minds. A few weeks since, during a fit of des pondency, the younger sister divulged to a neighbor the terrible secret which had so long weighed upon her conscience and made her life a torment ; it was that herself, with her sister aud husband, had murdered Hud son ! Her story was, that in company with McNabb, whom she afterwards married, and her elder sister, sl.e called upon Hudson, and telling him of her situation, upbraided him with her betrayal. Hudson attempted to laugh away tbe affair, and for the first time informed her of his being a married man. This incensed both the sisters and McNabb, all of whom commenced an as sault upon Hudson, as had been previously agreed upon in case he refused to render justice to the girl he had so foully wronged. Hudson was easily overpowered, and killed, by driving into his ear a portion of the iron spindle belonging to a spinning wheel. After the murder was accomplished, the body was taken to the loft of the cabin, and left hanging by the neck, as it was found several days thereafter. The woman to whom this fi-aiful secret was imparted, di vulged the facts before the grand jury at the present term of the circuit court, who at once found a bill against McNabb, bis wife, and sister-in-law, and on yesterday tl e parties wore arrested, brought to this town, and placed iu jail. The women are both de cidedly good-looking, but their countenan ces seem to indicate that they' have no hope. This is one of the most singular eases, that has ever come before any court in Kentucky, and shows thr-t oft times "truth is stranger than fiction." " . . ' Montana Mines and Volcanoes?. A Montana paper reports some very good .yields in the mines. One mill in Summit district netted six thousand two hundred and eight dollars and twenty-five cen'.s from a run of five and a half days. The St. Louis and Montana Company made one million dollars from their. lodes this year. The gold quartz at Highland Gulch has prov ed unexpectedly rich. The silver leads at the same place give forty dollars to the ton. Our authority says that "by taking a piece of silver quartz and lteating.it m a black smith's forge, globules of silver the size of a rin head will ooze out. Mr. H. D .Mansfield is an enviable man. His sluicing claim yields him from three hundred to one thousand dollars a day. A discovert is re ported. Three crater of an extinct volea no have been found near Red Mountain.
