June 24th, confirmed the nomination of Amos P. Ack erman to be Attorney General of the United States, in place of K. II. Hour, resigned. If those terrible Fenians don't be careful they will be the death of John Bull yet from sheer fright. Another alarming discovery has been made in Iretand of a large quantity of loaded bombs. All the Republican State Conventions held since the innuguration of President Grant haye endorsed his administration, the best possible evidence that the country approves his policy. In Maine the fight between tli3 two par tics has always hitherto been to secure the vote of the temperance .people. This year the Republicans by nominating an earnest temperance leader have effuctnally flanked tbeir opponents. Our Democratic contemporaries have been agitating themselves considerably concern ing the colored cadet? at West Point. They have not yet forgiven the colored people for helping to crush the rebellion, and cannot endure the tliougbt of permitting colored officers to fight for us in any future war. - THEpeopleof Pennsylvania will be highly gratified 'o learn of the improved condition of the health of Hon.

There has been no rain in southern Wis consin and northern Illinois since t'ae 1st of April. In that section it is stated that the wheat and corn crops will be almost a total failure, and that the grass crop is hardly worth cutting. Parts of Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska are fcitnilary afflicted. . The London Economist speaks of the 'sober energy and honesty of General G rant;' his "fidelity,' perseverance,-shrewd good aense and strict adhesion to the law ;" his ''fortitude, sagacity and immovable sense." "These are true words, and reflect the best judgment of competent critics upon bis ad ministrat ion. Our neighbor of the Republican asserts that Attorney-General Ackerman, and Postmaster-General Cresswell "were both loud mouthed secessionists at the com mencement of the war." Well, if they were, they faw their folly and forsook their rebel views, which is more than we would like to affirm for our neighbor. The Cincinnati Commercial, a radical Democrat' paper, says its party "is dying of vice and fraud ; of folly and knavery ; of cowardi je and ignorance ; of the displace ment of its true and great souls by the soul less scoundrels who control the organiza tion." The truth of at least a portiou of thia we think will be acknowledged by many Democrats in this State. Every now and then, says the, New York Herald, the administration writes in letters of gold an additional reason why it should continue iu office. One of the last reads thus : "Receipts from internal revenue lur ing the year ending April .30, 1S70, $180, 00,9S4." Coming events cast their shad ows before them ; and the Herald wants to be on the winning tide. Another reproof for little Delaware. The Spanish people have an unenviable reputa tion for cruelty, bat even they appear to be touched by the humanizing spirit of the nineteenth century, and the Cortes of that country adopted a resolution on Wednesday to abolish punishment by the lash. Dela ware is completely surrounded now, and will toon be obliged to surrender. The Democratic Senators occupied nearly the entire session of Saturday in what it is to be hoped will be a futile attempt to prevent the passage of a bill designed to prevent frau dulent naturalization. This bill has been shorn of some of its best features, and is not what it should be, but the very fact of it being so bitterly opposed by the ballot-box-stuffing Democracy should imuri its pas sage. 1 lie Uradtonl Reporter says : tv e see it stated that the political campaign in Min nesota last year, in which the Good Tem plars ran a separate ticket on the prohibi tion platform, proved disastrous to that order Its namber of members bn since been re duced from 10,000 to 3,000, and its pecu niary loss has been very great. We have not the least doubt but that a similar result will follow, in any State or county where the Good Templars allow themselves to commit such a great mistake." The Democracy of Vermont are possessed of indomitable pluck. They have notcain ed a State election within the memory of roan, and their local success is meagre; but still, year after year, like good soldiers, they make their nominations, marshal their forces and fight over and over again, without the least apparent diminution of spirit, the bat tles they know they must lose. We cannot refrain from admiring such heroic courage, such unselfish devotion to a lost cause. They cannot achive victory, but they can and do command respect. XUftsman's The Eefuge of Eebels. With a large class of rebels who were re cently in arms against the country, unblush ing falsehood and persistent lying are prac ticed as if among the cardinal virtues. What is particularly notioeable is the fact that they are f ure to find refuge and en dorsement in the party which sympathised with them during their attempt to destroy the government. A short time ago a letter appeared from a perjured traitor who de serted the United States array after having 'oeen educated at West Point, and swearing faithfulness and allegiance, whose name figures as J. Bankhead Magruder. In that letter he stated that President Lincoln was aware that he (the traitor) intended to go into the rebel service, and that he (the said traitor) being on the most friendly terms with Mr. Lincoln, had told him of his in tention, and that the President made no objection to his going, but bade him a kindly and affectionate farewell. Of course this was a rebel lie, and was made up to in jure the memory of the distinguished and beloved Lincoln. The same Magruder took occasion to charge Hon. Simon Cameron with falsehood for making a truthful statement on the floor of the United States Senate. Of course no sensible loyal ps per credited the rebel's story, but the papers which sympa thised with treason eagerly reproduced the traitor's letter assuming that General Cam eron was the liar, and their rebel pet the pink of honor, frankuess and truth, having always credited the stories of traitors in preference to loyal men. Now, however, we have a letter from Major General Stur gis, a true and loyal officer of the army, who was in Washington when Magruder deserted to the traitor's army. General Sturgis was familliar with all the circum stances attending the desertion, and he now comes forward in a card in which he relates the substance of conversation between him self and Mr. Lincoln concerning this man Magruder. According to General Sturgis, Mr. Lincoln said : "Magftider came to see mo the very eve ning before he left, and voluntarily said,- while expressing his abhorence of secession, "Sir, 1 was brought up and educated under the glorious old fla. ; I have lived under it and have fought under it, and, sir, with the help of God, 1 shall hunt under it again and, if need be, shall die under it!" The very next day," the President continued. "Magruder abandoned us ! So that at the very moment he was making to me these protestations of loyalty and devotion, he must have had his mind fully made up to leave. And it seemed the more wanton and cruel in him, because he knew that I had implicit confidence In his integrity. The fact is, when I learned that he had gone over to the enemy, and I had been so completely deceived in him, my confidence was shaken in everybody, and I hardly knew whom to trust anymore." Against the character of Gen. Sturgis there is not a whisper of suspicion. He kept his oath ami fought for his country. His statement is believed by all who are not themselves in sympathy with the cause for which Magruder deserted the army. It is a noticeable fact, however, that the papers which were so leady to parade the traitor's letter before the public are silent over this contradiction by a true and loyal soldier. Magruder's conduct solies one of the many problems as to how the rebels came into possession of all the acts of the President at the beginning of the war. This miserable drunken traitor remained as a jpy while pretending loyalty to the old flag, so that he could the letter aid the rebels. The "WTuttemore Oase Decided. In the House, on Tuesday, June 21st, Whittcmore's case came up by special as signment when the following proceedincs took place: Mr. Logan offered a resolution reciting the action of the Committee on Military Affairs, and of the House in reporting and adopting a resolution declaring Mr. Wliitte more, by hia conduct in selling military and naval cadetships, unworthy cf a seat iu the House of Representatives. Also, reciting his re election and the pre sentation of his credentials, and resolving that the House of Representatives decline to allow said B. F. Whittemorc to be sworn as a Representative in the Forty-first Con gress, and direct that his credentials be re turned to him. Mr. Logan proceeded to adress the House in support of-the resolution, and quoted the statute which rendered Whitteraore lia ble to be tried criminally for the offense, and tn conviction to be rendered infamous and incapable of holding any place of trust or profit under the United States. After considerable discssion, in which Gen. Logan, Mr. Eldridge, Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Poland and others took part, Gen. Lo gan called the previous question on his res olution to return Whittemore's credentials and exclude him from a seat. The call was sustained, and the resolution adopted by a vote of 124 ayes to 20 nays. A dispatch says, among thos who voted in the neeative were Brooks, of Massachusetts, B. F. Butler Cessna, Ela, Farnsworth, Hood, Jenckes, Kelley, Morrill, Poland, Sawyer and Taft. No CArs for I'espoxdenct. The Philadelphia Press says the signs of the times were never more favorable for tho suc cess of the Republicanjparty than now. More than a year of President Grant's Ad ministration has expired, and its policy has been fully unfolded to the country. Its hon esty, its economy, its steady diminution of the debt, commend it to the favor of all the people. The firmness with which the reins of Government have been held indicates a vigor unsurpassed by any previous adminis tration. "Hold on neighbor. The Republican pirty dare not condemn him, (Whittemore,) again." Republican. Ha! ha!! ha Ml That's the time you missed your guess, George. The Republi can party have the backbone to "condemn wrong" and punish the perpetrators, whether found in their own ranks or in that of the Democracy. 17e the result of the rebellion, as well as the Whittemore case. : A frightful and fatal explosion of glycer ine occurred t Worcester.

Wright, was Chairman, and E. A. Irvin. Seo'y., report the following preamble and resolutions : Wberkas, The building of the Boom at this point, and the occupation or the lianas by tbe Los-ginc interests, have greatly decreased the fa cilities for holding Square Timber, so much so that we are in constant peril of our timber break- in loose, and Wrerbas we believe that it is not possible to so secure timber here as to render it safe, owing to the limited shore and rapid current, and Whereas it causes much expense and detention in passing rafts through the schute, often detain ing onr men here for days, and WnKBCAS the citixens of Leek Haven manifest no disposition to assist us in this emergency, but are continually encroaching upon the lew facili ties we hare heretofore enjoyed, and eren object ing te our holding to the Bridge as a last resort, therefore be it Resolted, That all contracts made in the fu ture for the delivery of timber, shall require said delivery to be wiade at Linden or Williamsport, instead of Lock Haven,, Resolved, That Jno. F. Weaver, Moses Cham berlin P. Billmeyer, Jas. B. Graham, and A Irvin, be appointed a committee to confer with the citis?ns of Williamsport and Wayne Station known as Quigley's landing, and make such ar rangements as may be necessary for Hotel facili, ties, measuring, and preparing the shore for the tying or rafts. Resolved, That tbe above preamble and reso lutions be published in the Clearfield, Lock Ha ven and Williamspoit papers. P. Billmeyer. Jas. B, Graham. Jonathan Boynton. Capt. McUleary. Moses Chamberlin. Tbos H. Forcey. W. W. Betts. John Brooks. John W. Wright. E.A.Irvia Wm Albert. Samuel Mitchell. Jas. T. Leonard. J. w. rotter. F. G. Miller. The above proceedings are of a meeting held April 4, litO, and have been withheld from publication tor almost three months. for the purpose of giving the citizens of Lock Haven an opportunity to make some arrargement to add to our facilities and make the landing more secure, and thus re . 1 I -.1. . -m-k tain me Dusinesa at tnac point, iiut we larn they have not succeeded in accomplish ing anything that will promote our safety, or be ot any advantage to the son are timber in terest. On the contrary, their continued encroachments with saw logs make it haz ardous for landing rafts, and was the cause of the great break loose that carried over the Dam from 70 to 75 rafts of timber, entailing a loss of from $20,000 to $30,000 on those having timber laying in the Dam. Feeling that t lie citizens or Lock Haven are ludil ferent to our sufferinsr and the inconveni ence they have subjected up to, and do not appreciate the advantage of the trade, we therefore feel it a duty we owe to ourselves to proceed at once to make arrangements for a removal, and have named an early day rr tiu; meeting of the Committee at the Herdic House at Williamsport, to examine the shore at that point; also at Quigley's landing, ana mate 'he necessary arrange ments for having a secure harbor ready for me coming spring. Favor Bepudiation. The Democratic party, like that Scriptural conservative hphraim, is hopelessly joined toitsidola. An isolated fragment occasion ally shows signs of accepting as veritable facts the events of the last decade, but the mass of the party still adheres to tin tradi tions which cluster around the historic "Con federit X Rodes." At the convention of the Mercer county, Ohio, Democrats, held on the 11th inst, the following platform was unanimously adopted : That the so-called war debt is a fraud and a swindle, and was created under false pre tences and in violation of the Constitution : we are therefore, uncompromisingly in favor oi repnaiaiinn iie whole of the vomica tear debt of the United States. That we are unalterably oppos rd to negro citizenship and negro suffrage : that the fir- teenth amendment to the Constitution of the Lnited fttates was forced upon the peo ple by trickery and fraud and against their well known wishes, and is therefore illegal, void, and of no binding force whatever. We recommend the above to the Democ racy generally. An Unexpected Sprinkling. The West Chester Republican of yesterday says: On the return of the excursion party over he Wilmington and Reading railroad, on ednesday last, an incident occurred when a few miles above Downingtown, which not withstanding its disagreeable results. trve rise to considerable merriment. The train had stopped at a tank to supply the engine with water. The company had failed for want of time, to place hose on the snout or trough of the reservior, to insert in the tank-l or the engine, and a portable tin spout was used instead. As the train started, by some inexplicable means, the gate of the water tank became displacad, thus permitting the water to escape. The Ktream emitted was soinc four inches in diameter, and struck near the bottom of the windows of the car, which were all open at the time. The seats were filled with occupants, and the effect of such a volume of water suddently pouring into one s lap may better be imagined than described. W e can only say that the sud den scrambling it produced was wonderful to behold. Tbe entire train was thus im mersedthe scats being saturated and the floors flooded. Although everything was suddenly rendered exceedingly disagreeable, the whole party took the affair good natured ly, and set it down as the practical joke of the occasion. The new shops of the Pennsylvania rail road, now in course of construction at Altoo na, it is stated cover an area of twenty acres, and comprise an iron machine shop a plan ing mill, a blacksmith shop, cabinet work shop, and a three quarter, round brick build ing, for the repair of freight ears, eitrhtv of which can be rebuilt at the same time. The capacity of the new shops is four times that of the old, and the buildings can be enlarged when required. These improvements were commenced last summer, and will be com pleted in the spring of 1871. Of all t' vn-viviiii a lav ttUllAiiailt I riiy was due one prmcip'e left to fiaht on.
