Verily, the way nf the tran-reissor .is a meandering and thorny road. MarkTwaiu'e paper says: "Buffalo is to have cheap as soon George Fremiti Train is coming." The light, we presume, will not be of a very brilliant character, however. One live man, with a moderate amount of capital and energy, is worth more to a town than a dozen of rich old fogies who shut their money up in bonds and unimproved real estate. A flourishing merchant says : "You ' might as well attempt to shampoon an ele phant's head with a thimbleful of soap suds as to attempt to do business and ignore printers ink." There are rumors of heavy failures of large buiness firms in New York. What's the cause? Mismanagement, extravagance, over-trading, stock and gold speculations, credit eystetn, or what? Some of the Philadelphia papers are ad vocating the closure of the Mint in that city because it has nothing to do. Certainly ; tho community has been very little benefit ted by it ever tiaee gold-gambling came in Togue. There are signs of trouble among the In dians of the Upper Missouri., which may call for a short but decisive wintercampaign, fuch rs that with which Sheridan and Cus tar last year permanently pacified the equal- ly wild tribes of the sonihwest. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has issued writ of error in the case of Shocppe, returnable Jan. 3, 1370. Pending its de cision, no proceedings will be taken under the warrant for his execution on the 22d, today. And it is likely he never will be executed, iow. The Treasury agents having discovered, that the Government was being defrauded out of much of the duty on sugars, at New York, the agents last week seized 50.000 hogsheads, 140,000 botes and 16,000 bags, ir. that city. As a result, some more of An dy Johnson's appointees will get their walk ing papers. The Spanish flotilla left Now York on oo Thursday last. It is said that a told plot for the destruction of thc gun boat-, by torjicdoes, was frustrated by their su.lden removal to anchorage in the stream. It is reported that an attempt was made, by the CuLs.i la hd.il auuu ol lio vtiicls before their departure. The St. Louis Democrat calls attention to the singular and inexplicable fact that, with the ehoiocat flour selling below e'ght doilsrs per barrel, and gold at less than 24 premi um, a bariol of iu?ss pork is held at f 31 00, and a pound of bacon at 20 cent. This, too, in the face of the fact that the number of hogs cut thus far this jvar has been greater in all the packing cities than was cut last season. Governor Butler, of Nebraska, is being solicited on all sides to call the Legislature together to ratify the constitutional amend ment. If he is equally desirous with our legislators and all loyal citizens to conclude the reformatory work that had Us inception in the overthrow of rebellion, he cannot but conclude to place his State in the ranks of those that have confirmed freedom to all men, and its rights accordingly. In reference to the Vigilance Committee reported to be organized in New York for the suppression of ruffianism in that city, tho Chicago Post remarks : "Should it be organized and prepare tie way for twenty or thirty thousand low-class funerals of fel lows notably worthy of hanging, the Demo cratic majority would be reduced about twenty or thirty thousand rotes. Ftern.d vigilance is the price of liberty. Thomas Jefferson. Let the Vigilance t'oruuiittee go on." The New York Worll admits that "the XVth Article Is pretty ccrtaiu to be declar ed adopted, before the beginning of next spring," but dcclaies that the questions, "as to the constitutionality ol thc ratifica tion by the ten reconstructed States," and as to the status of Indiana, and of New j York if her ratification be "withdrawn," will be "op3 to the future action of the Supreme Court or a Democratic Congress." This is an indefinite postponement of the promised revision. May we all live long enough to see it thus undertaken ! We shall very much earlier see the opposition sup porting Mr. Chase as their Presidetitia! can didate, itrivina to outstrip Republicanism in their clamorous devotion to the principle of the universal equality of political rights. That will be the strongest hold for the as piring Chief Justice, the only remaining expedient for the party, and hn the only can-J.'dt-' b !an mui'h it. Death of William Irvin. Esq. j On Sunday evening last, at about tiuie o'clock, William Irvin, of Curwonsville was suddenly seized with severe illnesa, which resulted in his death on .Monday morning. I Ho had been ailing for some tirne.but wit.1- , out any alarming symptoms ; and his uncx- . reefed demise was a terrible shock, both to faM family and the community in which he J had so long dwelt ! Mr. irrm was born in I'enn s V alley, ( Center county, on the first day of December i I SOI, and hence was sixty-eight years and eighteen days old at the time of his death. About the year 1820, he o-.me to Cleat field county, and logad at the mouth of Ander son's creek, where the borough of Curwens ville now stands. Then there were but two houses, lut he lived tosee itgrow up around him into a handsome and thrivinir town, lie engaged in the mercantile Lupine.-, and for j many years o.vnod the only store in that j part ci the county south of Cleaiue.d. -lit was an active, prompt, and energetic busi competency, with which be unostentatiously j nes man, and was tueees,stul in acquiring a rjlieved the necessities of very many who were less favored in the aecumulation this world's goods, and contributed especially to aid his country during tho rebellion. He was indeed a most devoted aud ardent friend of the Government lie seemed to throw his whole soul into the contest ; and he used every effort in his power to promote the success of ihe loyal arms. In all the enterprises that contributed to the devi lopement of the recources ot our county, Mr. Irvin was a liberal contributor. In laying out turnpikes, building bridges, erec.ing churches, making rail roads, etc., he was ever found among the foremost to give of his means. He was a man of many peculiarities", somewhat difficult to become acquainted with, yet possessed, under all, of a larjrc warm heart, susceptible of the truest benevoli-nee and the most devoted t'rici d-htp. His acquirements were many and varied. lie had read mu;h and thought more, and underlying the whole was that sterling common sens-.1, which is the most iudisiieusible quality of a successf ul busi ness man, aud good citizen. He left a huge family to mourn his loss, which will be deeply felt by our whole com munity. One by one, the old pioneers -of our county arc falling around us. Soon all will have gone to their "long last home." Let us so live, that when we follow them there, each of us may, like them, leavetoour children that most priceless of all legacies, the character of ax honest man. The Eight Hour Law. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, has moved for the repeal of the act which declared eight hours to be a day's labor. He took the ground that as the eight hour law ap plied only to those in the employment of the General Government, it was anti republican and offensive to other laboring men, that if uuivei sally applied it would be inconsistent with the highest iuterests of American workingmen, that it would not afford any additional leisure for mental cr moral im provement, that it was untrue that as much labor could be performed in eight hours as in ten, and that there are other means where by labor can be much more efficiently pro tected and encouraged. Mr. M. referred to thc trades and professions iu which men were obliged to labor more than eight hours a day by the very nature of their work, and thus endeavored to show that the hours of labor could not possibly be satisfactorily reg ulated by law. In speaking of the injury which would be sustained by the manufae turing interests through the rcduciiun of thc hours of labor, the speaker remarked that thc products of Massachusetts, in ecu sequence of the auxiliary pow.T of i:u i',i;n ery, may be csii:i.atcd to i; ive been more than doubled, and possibly quadrupled. To restrict the hours of action of all their ti.e less giants of steam an 1 of water would be to make manufactures and the mechanic arts unprofitable pursuits. Wendell Phil lips' lecture on the k:t arts would find a new illustration. Short time, if it tho hours of lab ir ou'y, would bii s ly pernicious ; but it would incl therefore para'yi , all iuveLne:iu i touched ! mvicnt de, a:u! iacturing by machinery. The Statu' s Cash Accor.vr.--A letter from Thomas Nicholson, Ksq., of the State Treasury department, states ill balance on hand, Nov. 30, at 1, 400,801 43, whiio $8, 32S 72 of interest overdue, and $l,4S3,Sto 05 of the bonds of next July now called in for payment, make an aggregate sum of present liabilities, in excess of means at hand, of $3G5,291 62. To this must be ad ded the ?S);0,Oi)0 of interest payable Febru ary 1. This s'a.ement shows the fallacy of certain current talk about En "unexDenddl balance'' in the Treasury. The cash no hand wo'dd not meet the matured obliga" tions, ll all presented at once. But the f i - j .i. .. . iieasuiei i;as ussuilieu I lie rirli OI fJCIng able to meet all claims as they may be pre sented, and with every prospect of suceess, in view of other revenues yet to come in. He must be a coaitiioti scold, and nothitig else, who carps at this situation of affairs. Tfxas Electwm. The Texas papers of the 10;h of December seem to regard the election of Davis, the Republican candidate, as neatly certain. The Houston Tdrtjraph (Hamilton) says that eountks are yet to be heard from that cast a white vote of 20,461 and a colored vote of .",KS.. But as the white vote has fallen off about one-third in the other counties, and the Republicans get a good share of that which is polled, there is noextracting a Hamilton victory out of such a reserve. Ihe Census Committee reported iu favor of increasing the representation in Congress to three hundred. The minority were in fa vor of 270. The Xurth American express es the belief that were the ratio brought down to the present membership, Pennsyl vania would not lose any members.

General B.itlur publishes a long reply to d'celj's article, calling on him to take prominent action in the removal ot tne us abilities of the late rebels. Butler says the Southern leaders who misled their commu nities, and brought war with all its attend ant evils upon thc country, should be pun ished as examples to deter others in like cases of offending. I think that had an ex ample been made of some half dozen of the leading traitors cf the South, especially those who were educated at the military schools of the United States, and trusted with com mands in our armies, who resigned their trust to take commands in the ainiies of the reheliion, and those who, being trusted with places in Congress or the Cabinet, used their places to hateh treason, foment insur rection and maintain the rebellion to de stroy their Government, much good would have been accomplished, and that punish ment had been awarded which every other Government in like cases has meted out, at this day all matters in the rebel States which now disturbs the public peace, would have been settled, and quiet, commercial pros perity, agricultural industry, emigration of laltor and capital, and a revivieatiou of every beneficent enterprise would have filled the Southern country, and every insurgent State would have long ere this been readmitted into the Union. All that remains now for statesmen is to see that every safeguard is given to the loyal and true men of the South, white and black, who stool by their country in the dur hour of its history ; and that protection of person and property and equal ity of political rights shall be assured. Therefore, in any action I may take in Con gress or elsewhere, I shall have this end on ly in view. Gen Butler wLhe3 not only the adoption but the enforcement of the fif teenth amendment, and will use all his ef forts for the passage of laws to secure the latter. This is not for political purposes, but lor the substantial benefit ot all the South. The general impression is that the salary of the Chinese misjiou will be increased to $17,000 per annum, and the probability is that this mission and the missions to Eng land, France, Russia, Austria and Prussia will all be fixed at ?0;0 0 per annum. The friends of the Postal Telegraph sys tem, and they are legion, will be gratified to learn that Postmaster General Cresswell will shortly recommend Congress to take sonic action looking to the adoption of the system by the Post Office Department.

The Agricultural Department at Wash ington will require about S 0,),000 tins year for salaries and seeds, while the printing of 25,000 copies of a single number of its monthly report, with a map, will cost $230, 000. The whole concern spends not less than $ 1,000,000 a year, and all thatitdoes is much better done by the agricultural pe riodicals. It is a costly nuisance, which ought to be summarily abolished. Frauds on the Government seem to be politic. But recently the drawback frauds iu New York were exposed, which was fol lowed by the discovery of a large leak in the sugar business.

The New Yoi k Weekly Tribune con tains all the important editorials published ia the Daily Tribune, except those of merely l-eal in terest; also, l.iteraiy and tveientifla intelligent. Reviews of the most interesting and important new books, letters from our large corps ot corre spondents, latest Telegraphic news from all parts of tho world, a synopsis of the proceadrngs of Congress. foreign news received by every steamer, exclusive reports of the proceedings of the far mers' club of the American Institute; talks aboot fruit, stock, financial, eatile, dry goods, and gen eral markot reports. The reports of the Ameri can Institute Farmers Club, aud the various Ag ricultui al reports in each number are richly worth a year's subription IIUll TICU:.TCRAL DFPAR TMEXT. To keep pace with the growing interest in prac tical Horticulture, and to comply with f-eguect appeals from all parts of the e imitry for infor mation of a practical character on the subject, we have engaged the services of a person who is experienced iu rural affairs to write a series of articles on the management of small farms, frnit and vegetable cuture.aud how to make them pay. Cf late years there has been a lucrative busii.e.-3 curried on by unprincipled men. in selling worih less and old plaLts under new names to thc inex perienced 'the Trijune will be always ready to guard the farmer against any imposition that comes within oui knowledge. VI' TEli IX A RY D KPA R TM EXT To make the Tribune still more valuable to its agricultural readers, we have engaged Prof. Jas. Law, Ytcrinnry Surgeon in Cornell University, to answer question4 concerning diseases of cattle, bortes. sheep, and other domestie animals, and to prescribe remedies. Answers and prescriptions will be given only through the columns of the 't ribune. Inquiries should be uade as brief as possible, that the questions answers and prescrip tions may be published together In shi rt. we intend that the Tribune shall keep in the ad vance in ail that concerns the Agricultural. Man ufacturing Mining, and other interests of the Coutitiy. and that lor variety and completeness it shall remain altogether tne most valuable, inter esting and instructive newspaper published in the woild. fhe Tribnre is the bf-tt art-l rhe.tpr't aprr in the com, fry This is not said in a spirit of boasiful ness. It bus fallen to N iw York to create the greatest newspapers of the country. Here eon centrute the commerce, the manufactures, ibe mineral resources, the agricultural wealth of tne Republic. Here all the news gathers, and Ibe patronage isso large that journalists can atford to print it. This is ibo strength of the Trbui e. o nave a,l ibe advautaes around us.

The tribune t' stronz hy renuii nfilt enormous circulation, tint! g-reirt rheuynt-s. It has long been conceded that the Weekly '1 libune hasthc largest ciiculation of any newspaper in the country For years we have printed twice as many papers, perhaps, as all of the other weekly r'l;tiutis of the eity dnilcs combined. This is why we are enabled lo do our worK so thoroughly and cheap ly. The larger our circulation, the better paper we ran mane What are th yracttrul snEsrstion ?
