DON'T SCOLD.
Our devils have worked lidthfully I r y,ll
render, for one year. The Journal has itc.co
issued regularly, not a single number lost, and
so you won't scold will you, if WO only give Yon
three columns of reading this week? Printers
have as much heed of a little recreation, ns
other people. Printers are human beings, not.
withstanding many people think they can live
on sir, and by not raying up s tarve them.
So don't seal, for we will make it all right.
The imps would "have a thne," and we felt a
little inclined that way ourselves.
Faust KANSAL—The New York papers have
voluminous correspondence from Kansas, to
to the 4th inst. No attack had been made up
on Lawrence, but the czeitetnent among the
people was on the inurense. Ono of our cor
respondents says the invader's camp contains
nearly n thousand armed men, who are loud
in their threats against the "Abolition City,',
as Lawrence is called. The citizens of Law.
retie° have been making no great preparations
to meet the mob, whose blustering indeed, they
trent with proper contempt. They are simply'
on the defensive, and herein will resist to death.
The Missourians, it seems, have despatched
their ultiinolunt, but, with all their fierce dis
play of power and pretentions, they will never
be able to bully the Free-State men of Kansas
into submission. A public meeting has been
held in Lawrence, at which the representation•,
and encores made by Governor SHANNON for
calling out the militia, were declared to be
wholv false.

FINA NCIA L CONDITION on' TUC COMMoS•
W LTIL-IL will he A.'ettil by the statement we
give below, that the fiscal concerns of the State
undcrtfie pre!ev.,t Administration, are in a very
prosperous Condition. It has been the custom
of our P.enweratic friends, when they were in
powe r , to utter every now and then a trium.
t;. l oant blast of the trtnopct in praise of the Ex
ecutive or Sate Trcasurer,—attributing to the
unparalleled exertions of these °dicers whatev
er indication of prosperity might be exhibited
by the annual examination of the Treasury.—
We do not desire to imitate them in this res•
poet, but only to call attention to the fact that
all the giants did not die out with the last Dem.
ocratic Administration, and that there are still
a few left who have some financial ability, and
are competent to take care of the pecuniary
interest; of the Commonwealth. The state
went is as follows

The condition of the Treasury as exhibited
slurs, is such as be deeply gratifying to the
people of the Commonwealth. It will be seep
that the February interest may be paid, this
year, without a resort to a cotemporary loan, as
formerly. In view of all the facts, we may
hope that this is but the dawn of that bright
er day in Pennsylvania for which her citizens
have been so long and so eagerly looking.
ALLEGED 11.01111 CRY or TIM AnsEntL.—On
'Thursday last Anthony E. Draue, keeper of
the State Arsenal, at Harrisburg, was arrested
by officer Young on a warrant charging him
with taking state arms front the Arsenal, with.
out authority, with a view of disposing of the
same—in short with larceny. After a hearing
before Justices Snyder hu was committed in
drfault of bail which we understood was fixed
at t:' , 2590. It is rumored here that Mr. Aaron
Coburn, member elect to the Legislature from
Philadelphia city, has also been arrested as a
participant in the same transaction and held to
bail in S5OOO.
The authorities at Harrisburg supposing the
missing arms (six boxes) were in Philadelphia,
despatched a messenger, who made affidavit
before the Mayor of the larceny., l'pon this
infcrination, craters Clark nod Levy made in.
quiry nt every place where it Was thought the
missing property might be concealed, and fin
ding none there discovered that the arms had
been and to Now York. They repaired thither
and found the six boxes and their contents at
an establishment in Broadway, the proprietor
of which it is alleged had an interview with
Mr. C., who informed the keeper or superintew
dent of the Arsenal, as condemned arms. Un
der the impressiun that he had done nothing
hut what was perfectly fair and legal 'in the
matter, Mr Coburn waited en Mayor Conrad
awl altered himself to the authorities to wait
any investigation of the MSC.

Mnsnns Enrrens:—The accounts from the

You hare, oC were, heard the result of the
Baker trial—the reneagreetnent of the jury. I
don't think Baker ought' to be convicted of
'murder. Two years unprisennient would be
punishment enough fur hint. Probably you,
whose opinion is based upon the published evi.
deuce, think differently. But every newspaper
man who has been a reporter, and been obliged,
in the performance of his duties, to "travel"
occasionally, knows well that there was not an
essential witness, either for the prosecution or
the defence, who would not perjure himself tut.
hesitatingly, if he could make anything by it,
or in the service of his clique. '1 witnesses
on either side dared not give their testimony
against their own party. Sensible persons,
here, look upon what is culled the 'Toole Man
der" merely as u brawl between two rival
cliques of blackguards, who have gone about
for years armed to the teeth, who have been
biting, gouging, cutting and shooting peacriable
citizens at printery elections ) and who, during
the intervals between these, have amused them
selves, [tad kept their hands in practice, by ex
perimenting on each other.
Timid conservatives are continually ascrib
ing the misgovernment of the city to the tact
that there are so many (diced to which the is•
zumheuts are elee'ind instead of being appoin
ted. 'don't aoee with theta, and in the mean
time I give them the following nut to crack.
"Jim Irvin," I:ne most wealthy of the black
guards uniter indictment for the murder of
Toole, tins received the appoinfitemt of twee
tor of Public Buildings, itt a salary of $2,500 a
yr-Iw, Puole, on his doubt-bed, said that he did
not blame Baker as much as Morrissey and
Irvin. Irvin is not a first class sporting-man,
but u vulgar, obscene, sweat-cloth gambler,
who talks hers° and faro, and cannot speak on
any subject without illustrating his ideas on it
by gambling and horse-racing phrases. That
man couldn't have been elected to any office in
New York. Balton, also, was appointed a po
liceman.
There hos been some little newspaper-bicker
ing hero, between Mr. Silas C. Herring, the
world•renowned sate.maunfiteturer, and another
gentleman also engaged in that business, but
who does not, it would seem, meet with much
success. When the Croton Mills were consu
med by tire, all the books and papers of the
establishment were preserved ; and shortly af
er it was advertised thatthe instrument of their
preservation was one ofA de.
;dal of that assertion was published by Mr.
Herring, accompanied by a certificate from the
proprietors of the Croton Mills, to the effect
that their We was one of Herring's make, with
the ranker's name on it, and that they 'rover
had used, nor would use, any other. The re
sult is that Herring nod his safes stand higher
thou ever in public cistimation, and his oppo
nent aiwg or two or lower. The fact of the
tnatter is, that Mr. Herring stands unrivalled
in the world as a manutitetarer of safes. There.
are, doubtless, other good manufacturers ; but
it will be long beibro the public will :withdraw
their confidence from their old favorite, who
has been the means of saving more money from
the flames, and more businesses from entire ru
in, than perhaps any other man is the world.
New paners are being started so fast, that it
is labor enough for a man to look at their head

Congress has now spent three weeks doing
nothing—the House having been enacting du
ring that whole period, the monotonous farce of '
balloting day after day, with no expectation,
and consequently no actual purpose of electing
it, Speaker to preside over that impracticable
and disorganized, if not disorganizing body.—
And the end seems not yet—the voting on the
latest dates showing no material change. The
President's message certainly has a chance of
becoming well seasoned. The Senate is almost
