I [Correspondence Philadelphia Times.] HARRISBURQ, Aug 1 . 31—Fourteen bills of indictment have been found by the grand jury of this county for cor . rapt solicitation in and about the I.leg islature. for perjury and for conspiracy to promote legislative corruption. AH of the persons arraigned are more or less prominent in political or business , circles, or in both, and the trial of these defendants in Novemlier will attract a large degree of public interest. Of the fourteen persons indicted seven are : members of the present House, one is • the active man in pressing the'prosecu ' tions against his colleagues, and two others are the chief witnesses on the part of the Commonwealth. Charles S. Wolfe, Representative from Union, is the member who was the most active man in pressing the investigation last winter and in pushing the cases into ' the Quarter Sessions. He is a Repub j lican member of four sessions' cxperi ' ence in the House, having been elected 1 in 1873, rP-elected in ISTt for two ses ! .-ions and again elected in lSltf. He I was the leader in the expulsion of I'e : troiT from the House in 1576 for the same charge of conspiring to promote corrupt solicitation that is now made against hirn by our grand jury. Emil J. I'etroff, member from the Fifth district of Philadelphia, has had a good deal of legislative experience ! and more or less trouble in public life. He is now in his thirty-first year, hav ing lieen born in Philadelphia in I*4S. He received an education in the public schools, and became a compositor. He was first elected to the House in the fall of 1574, for the sessions of 187;") and 1870. In the latter year he was expelled for what the resolution of ex pulsion said vvas "conduct unliecoming a member," but it was more explicitly for conspiracy to promote corrupt solic itation in connection with the Susque hanna boom bill. In the fall of 1870 he was returned to the House, how ever, and re-elected last year. Mr. Pe troff is a Republican. William F. Rumberger is a Repub lican member from Armstrong, who had his first legislative ex|>cricnee last winter, although he had previously held local offices. He is a native of Huntingdon county, where he was horn in 181fi. He became a woolen manufacturer and is still in that busi ness. He was a deputy United States marshal in 1800 and served as a.lus tier- of the Peace from 1803 to tBOB. Daniel C. Clark, of the Thirteenth district, Philadelphia, is a Republican, a native of Lebanon county, and now forty-four years old. He was educated at the Lebanon Valley College, then Annville Academy, and after some ex perience ns a book-keeper at the Corn wall Iron Works went to Philadelphia and engaged in mercantile pursuits, afterward becoming the bead of the house of I). C. Clark it Co. lie retired from business some time ago and was first elected to public office last fall, when he was chosen a memlier of the House. F.

With the exception of Wolfe and I'etroff, who have before been conspic uous in affairs of legislative bribery, it will lie observed that the indicted mem bers are all now men in the Legisla ture. William 11. Kemble, of Philadelphia, is a prominent politician and business mnii, nnd largely interested in railroad matters and banking, lie is a very active Republican politician, nnd was one of the founders of that party in your city. lie has never been a can didate for office, except before the Leg islature for Statu Treasurer, to which office lie was elected in 18(i5 and re elected in lS'ifi-7, but lie has served tin the Republican national committee for a number of years, and is one of the most influential leaders of the party in both city and State. A. VV. Lciscuring, of Munch Chunk, is also n prominent banker, being eusli ier of the national bank of that town, and lie is a Democratic politician of in fluence in his section of the State. lie lias not hc|i| political office, but lie is a geiitlemnn of high standing iu his com munity.

MeCunc is also a citizen of Cumberland county and a promi nent business man, who is largely in terested in the border claims, as are most of the people in his region. Hi is a Democrat iu politics, hut has never held any prominent political position. BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 18711. Jr.-.sc R. Crawford if= a Blair county man and an active Democrat in politics. He ha.- several times been the candi date of his party for office, including Congress, hut the Republican majority has Ijeen a bar to his ambition. He was recently a subordinate officer on the Hill. In conversation with a member of the grand jury it hns lieen ascertained —witk'iut, however, reaching any of] the secrets of the jury room—that action upon all the bills was practically unanimous. M U TIL ATB l> MOXE Y. SOME THINGS WHICH ARE NOT OE.V EIIA LLY KNOWN. Verv few people have an idea of the amount of business transacted by what is known as the Redemption Division of tbe United States Treas ury. It is this division which has charge of the work of redeeming and reissuing the mutilated or worn-out notes of National Hanks, and is under the very able superintendence of Mr. K. O. fJraves, of Xew York. Tbe division is supported by the National banks, each bank being asssessed upon its circulation to pay the expense. When a bank finds itself -in possession of worn or mutilated currency, it packs it up and sends it to the Redemption Division, where it is counted,examined and sorted, and is redeemed by an equal amount of new or lit notes for circulation. During the fiscal year of IS7B there was sent in for redemption $213,000,- 000 of National bank notes, out of the entire National bank circulation, which in that year was $:J25,000,000. But in October last Secretary Sherman issued an order that banks sending money to the Treasury to lie redeemed must pay the express charges in ad vance, aud this had the effect of rc duciiig very much tbe amount of m iney sent in for redemption, so that during the fiscal year of 1ST!), just closed, tin: amount received was only $1.57,000,- 000, which is the smallest for many years. Formerly the express charges were paid by the division,and assessed upon tbe banks according to tho amount of their circulation redeemed. This order of Secretary Sherman has caused National bank notes to remain in circulation about one-third longer than usual. In the fiscal year of l*7s the actual number of notes redeemed was about 2.1 millions, while in the fiscal year of IH7'.» the number was lfj millions. The reason why there is so much difference in the value and the number of notes redeemed when comparing the two years, is that when bankers did not have to pay the impress charges they sent many bills of large denomi nations, but since Secretary Sherman's order they have stopped sending large bills, because the express charges are reckoned upon the value of a package, and not upon its weight, so that it costs just as much to send a one thous and bill a- it dues to send one thousand one dollar bills. There are more five dollar bills sent for redemption than of any other denomination. This is be cause, of course, that in tbe general exchange of money more lives are used, and the largest issue-; are made of this denomination. The fifties re detuned present the largest value, ami there is about one fifty presented to nine lives. Of the $157,000,000 received for redemption last year, only $40,000,000 were found to be totally unlit for circu lation, anil were destroyed. The re mainder were reissued. Of the $157,000,000 sent in, s.'!,olti only was found to be counterfeit, which is an exceedingly small proportion, and shows that the Secret Service system is doing great good in sup pressing counterfeits. It is generally believed that banking people are very careful and accurate in handling money and doing business, but inquiry at the Dead Letter Office of the J'o -iollice Department will show that a great proportion of the misdi rected letters containing valuable pa llet's received there are from banks, and in the $157,000,000 received in the l!e --ilemption Division lust year, the girls who count the money found errors amounting to $32,054.77. The Treas ury "countesses'' are proverbial for their accuracy in counting and their aptness in detecting counterfeits, (jen. Spinner used to say that women could handle money under all circumstances be tier than men. But it is due to tlie batiks to say that nearly 70 per cent, of the errors they made last year were against tlicin. Out of the $32,054.77 errors, $22,118.42 were "overs," aud only $!•,900.35 were "shorts," to use the slang of tho counting-room. The circulation of the National banks is not at all evenly distributed through the country, but four-fifths of it is in the Eastern States. The Boston banks alone have over twelve per cent, of the entire circulation of the country. The amount of (lie circulation of the Boston National banks during the last fiscal year was $2H,325,000, while the circulation of the New York banks v.'iis but $22,080,000, and of the Cbicngo banks but $505,000, and it is a peculiar circumstance that of the twenty-eight millions of Boston circulation nearly twenty-five millions passed through, the Redemption Division last year. This is a phenomenon difficult to ex plain, but it is a fact that Boston money wears out faster than that of any other locality. THK LAW OF NKWSI'AI'KUS.—TIie courts have decided that if a person orders a paper discontinued he must pay all arrearages, or I he publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount whether the paper is taken from the postollice or not. Also, action for fraud can be instituted against any person, whether lie is responsible in a financial view or not, who refuses to pay sub scription due for a publication. Some forget this, anil think by merely refus ing to take the paper from th< postollice settles the matter. AT the barber's: "How does the monsieur wish to have hi < hair dressed ?"

The Jlajtfixl Weekly characterizes De Young as a cowardly assassin, but at the same time condemns, both on poli tical and religious grounds, the style of Dr. Kalloch's reply. "Yicious re taliation," it says, "ill becomes one who professes to preach the Gospel of Christ. It would have been wiser for him to have defended himself and to have avoided the severe nnd offensive IHTsiuialities by which his adversary was enraged." The Era miner and Chronicle re grets that intemperate and disgraceful words had been said on both sides, and says it was iu every way unfor tunate that the pastor of the leading Baptist church in San Francisco should have been identified with the bail party that gave him the nomination which caused the trouble. But De Young's deed and the way of it the Examiner thinks were utterly infa mous. The National Baptist has nothing favorable to say of Dr. Kalloch ; does not believe him to be a good man. His recent teaching has been disor ganizing and demoralizing, but there ea:i be no doubt concerning the extent of his abilities and his power of lead ership. He had a right to say his say, offensive as his say was. If he did not violate the law he ought to have been protected in his right of free speech. But in a review of his life, which is suggested by this affair, the National Jlajtlisl thinks there ought to be some way iu which the denomi nation can relieve itself from all re sponsibility for a man who brings reproach on the ministerial profession and on the Christian character. The Independent characterizes the shooting of Kalloch as "a barbarous reprisal against one who, in a policical canvass, had used the vilest language which can be applied to the mother and son of unwed maternity." On both sides, the Independent says, the language was unchristian and disgrace ful ; most disgraceful, perhaps, to the one who occupied the position of a preacher of Christianity, which he had already dishonored by his abusive pro scriptiveness of the Chinese. On the whole, there will be deservedly little sympathy felt with ivaliocb. A FOL'L AND UNJUSTIFIABLE MIRDER. The Chrintian Union calls the shooting of Dr. Kalloch "a foul and utterly unjustifiable murder," and thinks it matches the murder of Mr. Dixon in Yazoo, Mississippi. Dr. Kalloch enjoyed greater popularity than good repute, anil was not above the suspicion of using his oratorical powers for personal advancement. It is a strange commentary, the Union ailtls, on the condition of society in San Francisco that the disciple of a Muster "who, when he was reviled, reviled not again," should have answered scurrility with scurrility, as Mr. Kalloch did. A natural fruitage of the scattered seeds of scandal and abuse in tho American press is seen in such a murderous affray as this. The Ev.ange.lM thinks the shooting was a cowardly and wicked act, and deserves the severest punishment under the law. But it docs not excuse the course of Mr. Kalloch in resorting to violent and bitter personalities, which naturally provoke violence, he, too, being the pastor of the largest Baptist Church ill San Francisco. The Method in! thinks the Mississippi murder and the San Francisco attempt at murder closely resemble each other in their main features, but that the latter uproar is on a larger scale. But both rest upon the labor line in politics. But in view of our circumstances the M' thodixl thinks we art! entitled, us a people, to much credit, liecauue theso cases are so rare. The (Jhristiaii Leader looks upon the shooting of Kalloch as the natural sequel tot lie Lechmcre House (Boston) scandal of years ago, which furnished De Young with abundant and pertinent material. But Kalloch,says the Leader, thus attacked, like a true "pothouse" politician, paid back "in kind,'' and the belligerent journalist was made to wince under family disclosures for the iniquity of which lie was in no respect to blame. But no antecedents of Mr. Kalloch can justify or even palliate the attempt upon his life. His assail ant is an assassin, and the Leader trnsts that legal justice will be rendered. But the moral cannot be forgotten, nor should the salutary lesson he lost. The attempted murder of Kalloch, like the real murder of Fisk, is but the remote fruitage of a career that is worse than disreputable, in that it is brazen in its defiance of tho best public sentiment. KAI.LOCII'S ANTECEDENTS. The (Jatholie Stn ndnrd says the murderous act 'if De Young was sim ply tlie legitimate finale of most out rageous proceedings on both side*. Mr Kalloch's antecedents will not well bear publicity. He started out, says the Stanilaril , as a Baptist minister, ami soon made a more than doubtful reputation for himself in Boston, hav ing been once tried for adultery and escaping conviction through disagree ment of the jury, aud then liecoming lawyer, school teacher, horse jockey, itinerant preacher, hotel kepper, and finally turning up in San Francisco as Baptist minister and politician com bined. But the act of shooting was lawless and murderous in the Stand-' or<l'n view, and deserves punishment, though individually one man proved himself as vile a blackguard as the other. And this journal thinks it is a significant indication of our rapid decadence as a people as respects the elements of decency in private life, anil of our want of self-respect and respect for law iu political *f]uir«. The l'ilot says De Young is a no torious hluckmuilcr and represents the worst element of bad journalism, while his victim, though bearing a reverend title, is far front representing anything worthy thi; reverence or respect of decent men. Had Kalloch been able to return his enemy's lire, nnd had both jierishod in the melee, society would have gained by their loss. WANDERIXO ULYSSES. HIS IXTKREST IN THE SHIP CANAI,— LKTTEIt TO ADMIRAL AMMEN. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—The Herald publishes to-day a special dispatch from Washington stating that Rear Admiral Auimeu announces that Oen. Grant is ready to serve as President of the Nicaragua Inter-Oceanic. Ship Canal Company, when invited to by the Board of Directors. It is said further that one of the objects of Gen. Grant's European trip was to ascertain the real feeling among foreign capitalists about the canal. The letter is quoted in a dispatch which was written by Admiral Ammeu some time ago in reply to a protest from a prominent politician that Grant's first duty was to the Republican party. In this letter Admiral Ammen says: "I think Gen. Grant's past services as a military man and President of the I'nited States for eight years should exempt him from any further demands upon his time for public lift! and leave him a free agent to act on whatever demand might l)e made by any enter prise asking his services." It is claimed that Grant has, by tele graph, approved of this statement, and that he has authorized Amnion to say that he must not be considered as a candidate for any political office in the United States. This, of course, re moves him from the list of Presiden tial candidates. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27—Arrived— Oceanic, from Hong Kong August Ist. The missionary case, which the past J year attracted so much attention, was finally decided by the British Court at Shanghai. The missionaries complain of an alleged outrage by the mob near Foo Chow, declaring their property wantonly destroyed ami the premises invaded. The Chinese claimed that the missionaries encroached upon the native temple grounds and tempted the populace to violent measures. The Chinese submitted the cast? to the Eng lish tribunal. The result was a com plete vindication for them ami over throw of the mtpsionnry position. The result is considered important as es tablishing a precedent for numerous similar affairs. YOKOHAMA, Aug. 13.—Gen. Grant has returned since the last dispatch and started to Kamahura, the ancient seat of the military government, and is now in the neighborhood of tho mountains of Hakonc. During his stay at, Tokio he was visited by the Mikado, who consulted him on many important points of international and domestic policy. The confidence and reliance manifested by the Government and people are wholly unprecedented. Grant returns to Tokio August 10, exchanging a series of formal visits, and sails for America bv the next mail. A movement is in progress for the formation of a society having in view the extension of and protecting influ ence for the Eastern nations against the |H'rpetual aggressions of European powers, the organization to lie com pleted before Grant leaves, lie con sented to support it. The General and Minister Bingham strongly support the Japanese Government against Ger many and England in their violations of quarantine. The cholera continues virulent, but signs of abatement. Within the pres ent month thus far there has been 45,000 attacks and 25,000 deaths. The Government displays unflagging energy in checking the disease. The Emperor gave $75,000 from his private funds in aid of sanitary measures. SOWING ASP REAI'I NO. "Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" both in the natural and iu the moral world. Every seed in the one and every det.il in the other, yield fruit after its kind. This prin ciple of sowing and reaping is espe cially important to the young, who are just beginning to shape their char acter and destiny. In the spring time of life we sow what we must, reap in the antuinn of age, and perhaps through the endless ages of eternity. The chief possibili ties of good or evil for all the future are bound up in the period of youtb. The sowing may lie done thought lessly and carelessly, but it will report itself in tlue time according to this law. Men in nge often say : "If 1 could but live my life over again how differently it should be." While this is impossible, still the young may have the advantage* of a second life by trying the counsels ami experiences of the aged. It is of the utmost importance for them to understand this relation of sowing to reaping, which is affixed to our physical, mental and moral nature. Men who in early life vortex the brain or body in the frenzy to get rich ; men who overload the wheels of life by gluttony ; men who l*'astiali*e them selves with sensuality; men who burn out the vital forces with the damning lires of alcohol ; all : uch are liable to a strict account in after years. When remembrances anil retribution count upon them, then too late, they begin to realize that whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Burns ami Dobbins were friends and neigh bors. Four years ago Dobbins got married, and at that time Burns lent him eighty dollars. The money was never paid back by Dobbins, and on this account there was a feeling of enmity between the men. On Friday Burns came to town. Dobbins was at work on the road. On his way home Burns passed the place were Dobbins and others were working. The men did not have any conversa tion. To go to his house Dobbins had to pass by that of Burns. When Dob bins arrived in front of Burns' house, he found Burns standing lvfore the door, revolver in hand. Burns said : "Jim, I want that money you owe me." Dobbins made a reply which in censed Hums, lmt disregarding his anger, Dobbins said: "Throw down that revolver anil I can whip yon." Burns throw the revolver on the ground, by his side, when Dobbins! said, "You have the drop on mo now, Ixit if vou wait till 1 come back I will bo heeled to meet you." Dobbins then drove his horses into his yard, and, leaving thein unhitched, ran into the house. Here he pot two i revolvers and started toward Hums' place. Hums was sitting on the door step as Dobbins came up, and before he had time to move, and without a word of warning to Hums, Dobbins presented si revolver in each hand and opened fire. The balls from both re volvers lodged in the side of tfce house. Burns then ran into the house, got his pistol, and rushed out upon Dobbins. The men advanced to within two feet of each other before a shot was fired by either. Dobbins fired first, the si.ot hittirip: Burns in the right fore arm. Burns returned the lire, and sent two bullets through Dobbins' chest. Although wounded desper ately, and fast liecotning weak from loss of blood, Dobbins summoned strength enough to fire again, his return shot tearing into Burns ab domen, and passing through his body. Full of race and desire to retaliate to the last extremity, Burns managed to raise his revolver and discharge it once more. llis Inst shot struck Dobbins under the left ear and passed clear through his head. Hushing together the men clinched oach other and fell to the ground, Dobbins being under neath. Burns then l»« nt Dobbins over the face and head with the butt ol his revolver. Supposing that Dobbins was dead, Burns was about to leave him, but with a desperate effort Dob bins turned, and in a moment had again thrown Burns to the ground. One of the neighbors, a Mrs. Kalfton, appeared at this time and pulled Dob bins away from Burns. Two young men coining up, the men were separated. Burns was then carried by the men to his own house, and they went hack to the scene of the light to carry Dobbins away. Lifting the man to his feet they walked on each side of him, supporting him be tween them. The\' had hardly gone live yards before Dobbins sank down on his knees R!id died in the woods, without uttering a word. Hums lin gered a day or two, when he died. Hoth of the bodies were buried in the Catholic C'ene tery en Sunday after noon. Burns was an unmarried man. Dobbins leaves a wife and child. HA HITS OF HHYANT. The late William Cullen Bryant used to ascribe the preservation of his physical and mental vigor partly to his simple and regular habits of life. Me would ritje about half-past live in the morning (summer time half an hour earlier), and go through a series of light exorcises before dressing. Light dumb bells, covered with flannel, a pole, or the horizontal bar were enough to practice with. Sometimes he would swing a light chair around his head. An hour later lie would liathe from head to foot. His breakfast was the simplest—"hominy and milk," as lie himself said in a letter to a friend ; "or, in place of hominy, brown bread or oatmeal or wheaten grits, and in the season, baked sweet apples." lie added, "buckweat cakes i do not tie elitie, nor any other article of vegeta ble food ; but animal food I never take at breakfast. Tea and coffee I never touch at anytime. Sometimes I take a cup of el olate, which has no narcotic effect and agrees with me very well. At breakfast I often take fruit, either in its natural state or freshly stewed. In the country I dine early, and It is only at that meal that ) take either meat or fish ; and of these but a mod erate quantity, making my dinner mostly of vegetables. At the meal which is called tea I take only a little bread and butter, with fruit, if it be on the table. My drink is water; yet I sometimes, though rarely, take a gla»s of wine. lam a natural temperance man, finding myself rather confused than exhilarated by wine. 1 never meddle with tobacco, except to quarrel with its use." When in town, Mr. Ilrvant always walked to his office, six miles, down and up, no mattT what the weather.

A lady loses as soon as she admires too easily ami too much. In man or woman, the person and face lose power when they are on strain to express admiration. A man makes his inferiors, his su(»oriors by beat. Why need you, who are not a gossip, t-jilk as a gossip, and tell eagerly what thes neighbors or journals say? State your opinion without apology. The attitude is the main point. Assure your eompanion that come good news or come bad, you remain in good heart and pood mind, which is the best news '* you can communicate. Self coutrol is the rule. You have in there a noisy, sensual sav litre, which you are to keep down, and turn all his strength to lx-auty. For example: What a senes chal and detective is laughter ! It seems to require several generations of educa tion to train a squeaking or a shouting habit out of man. Sometimes, when in r.lmost all expressions, the Choctaw and the slave have been worked out of him, a coarse nature still betrays itself in his contemptible squeals of joy. The great gain is not to shine, uot to conquer your companion—theu you learn nothing but conceit—but to tind a companion who knows what you do not; to tilt with him and IH> over thrown horse and foot, with utter destruction of all your logic and learn ing. There is a defeat that is useful. Then you can seo the real and the counterfeit again. You will adopt the art of war that has defeated you. You will ride to battle horsed on the very logic which you found irresistible. You will accept th<*fertile truth, instead of tin! solemn, customary lie. When people come to seo us we foolishly prattle, lest we lie inhospitable. Hut things said for conversation are chalk eggs. Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders HO that I can't bear what you say to the contrary. A lady of my acquaintance said, "I don't care so much for what they say, as I do for what makes them say it." The law of the table is beauty —a respect to the common sort of all the guests. Everything is unseasonable which is private to two or three or any other portion of the company. Tact never violates for a moment this law ; never intrudes the orders of tho house, the vices of the absent, or a tariff of ex penses, or professional privacies; as we say, we never "talk shop" before company. Lovers abstain from caresses ami haters from insults, whilst they sit in one parlor with common friends. Would wo codify the law that should reign in households, and whose daily transgressions annoys and mortifies us, and degrades our household life, wo , must learn to adorn every day with sacrifices, Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.— Ralph Waldo Em erton. TIIK fall of water in England this year is something unparalleled, and none of the floods have done more dam age than those of tho past few days. The dispatches announce that Birken head, opposite Liverpool, is Hooded, and that traffic on the railway Itetwecu • Chester nii<l Holyhead is stop|ied. Sheffield is flooded and the foundations of several houses washed away. There have been thirty hours of incessant rain in Chester. The wheat in all that part of the country is rotting, und standing crops nre worthless and will I not h« cut. In fact, all over England the failure of the crops has been more complete tlinn has l>ecii known lor many years. The suffering this winter cannot fail to lie wide-spread and very severe, and it will take a liberal out pouring of money on the part of tho rich to prevent almost a famine among the poor. The demand upon this coun try for provisions will lie something enormous, and will, of course, bring heaps of yellow gold to our shores. THE monument to General Custer was till veiled at West Point lately. Algernon S. Sullivan delivered the pre sentation address and General N. I*. Hunks was orator of the day. "Wo should give to the white people of the ludinu country a chance to fight their own battles," he said, "or keep tho peace for them. We should giva to the Indians the political character to which they aspire—make t hem citizens or leave them savages as they choose, and settle with them as citizens or sav ages every three •"ontlis. Short oc counts make long friends. Our army should be of sufficient strength to make . wars short ami one Indian war should never succeed another. If the money that is expended to improve the rivers without water and harbors without commerce were appropriated for tho army, Indian wars would cease for ever." THE latest phase of s)K'culntlon is the alleged project of capitalists in Chili to get up a corner in nitrates. It Is charged that these Individuals, through their control of the Chilian Government, first seized the Bolivian' nitrate mines, and then shut up, by blockade, tin; only Peruvian port that exported nitrates. Thus they estab lished a corner in a staple article re quired in agriculturn, chemistry, and mining. The latest reports indicate that the plan of starting a couple of wars for the purpose of speculation may prove an unprofitable venture. A fuksii gold fever has set in in Australasia in consequence of the dis covery of gold in large quantities on the western coast of the island of Tas mania.
