The' printed address-label on. the paper will show each. subscriber the exact date to which. "his.subscription is paid. The fight for the Governorship of Massa ehusettsi seems to be turning hi favor of Waslibtirn. Butler secured a majority of the delrgal es from•the large towns, but the rural-distriets seem to be "fixing the flint" of tie chief of the salary-grabbers. The Springfield Apublican estimates that Wash burn will have 150 to 200 Majority in the Convention. At the head of this column will be found the names of thb candidates suggested by the County Committee for Auditor and Jury Commissioner. The vacancy in the first mattoffice is occasioned by Prof. Verrill's ,► rem alfrom the Tounty and State. The gentlemen now selected for the positions . 4re boat well known to all the voters of the 'whole county, and are peculiarly fitted to fill the places for 'which they arc nominated. During the past week ther6 has been an other Cabinet revolution in Spain. Presi , dent Salmeron has resigned, and Castelar, the eminent 'Republican, has been elected by the Cortes to fill the office. The latter accepts the position only on condition 'that lie.4hall be empowered to increase the army, purchase halt' ti million rifles, organize the Militia, and Impose a forced loan of five hundred million reals to carry on the war against the insurgents of all classes. These are extreme measures, but the4are needed, and it is to be hoped they prove effect ual in establishing the new'Republid. Tho Democratic State Committeclof lowa has thrown up the sponge. The " unterri fied" of that region haTe at last concluded that a party which has in fact' put no na tional ticket in the field since 18C8 is hardly in condition to lock horns with the Repub licans of lowa,' and so the Chairman of their Committee announces that the Dettoc racy will mate no nominations this year,— So far as immediate political results in I?. wa are concerned this action is of the very slighteit consequence; but as indicating the condition of the useless and helpless De mocracy, it is of some significance. Now hero comes the Hon. George IL Pugh, of Ohio, formerly a Democrat of in fluence and sagacity, and bears witness thus: " You marched' off to the city of Baltimore, and, with the delegates of the Democratic party frOm . every State in the Union, you supported Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, with the relegation of free trade to the Congressional districts. And now you have my' dear old friend, William Allen, brought pp, and a parcel of other old boys and yoinig boys, with paper caps on .their "heads, with chicken feathers in. them, and with wooden swords, blowing tin trumpets and beating drums! Talk to me about the Democratic party! You killed, it, and you can never revive it." As the organ of the pernocritcy in this county has notlyet found space to print the resolution of the recent Democratic State Convention on the back-pay grab, we give it beloW so l that the :Democrats of this re gion may not remain in ent!re ignorance of the party action.on that point. Here it is: " I?cami, That we condemn without re „serve the act of Congress grantirr , addition. al salaries and the back-pay grab as unjust and unjustifiable, and demand its immediate and unconditional repeal; and we denounce every member of Congress, whether Repub lican or Democrat, who supported the law or received the money procured thereby; and we especially denounce the conduct of President Grant in using the influence of his high position for its passage, and whose official. signature made it a law.” Wo have never . seen any evidence that President Grant used the influence of his high position to secure the. passage of the bill, and we don't believe anybody vise ever has: The fact.is that it was goner: 1y (Ani -1 ceded on all hands that the future salary of the -President should be increased, and the unprincipled, members of Congress seized wen the occasion to take from the public trensuryfifty per cent. more pay for past erricee than they had agreed to work.for.— Cerpin -it is' that the PresidenVever m ailed ono cent, of increased back salary, while every, Democratic member from this ,State pocketed nearly five thousand dollars ,of public moneY under the guise . of. back pay. And imp(' the ugliest features of the _case is; that those who voted this money to themselvettdid so in direct contravention of, an exPressrule'of the House which provid ed that no member should-vote on a ques tion in which_ lie was pecuniarily interested. It was probably this fact that prompted Mr. Moore to say, in the late Democratic Con- Vention, that he "did not understand how itny man who regards honor and conscience more than plunder and greed could either - be persuaded to do it or justify it after it was done." Hon. John I. Mitchell. ' We clip the following 'notice of the re nomination of our Represcntlltive from the Harrisburg Daily &ale t rournal :of August '2l3th. It would seem us if the Republicans of Tioga county had made no mitake in fe letting this, gentleman fora third term: W 6 learn - from a private letter received by it gentleman of this city from IVelisboro Thar jobn L Mitchell, Esq., has been unan imously re-nominated for election to the House by the Republicans of Tioga county.

In view of_wh4took place at the "recent Demoeratic .:Coiiiention, at Wilkesbarre, this bit of secret political history from: the editorial. columns of the Pittsburgli Com l , nlerciad will be read with special interest: "Westete ris , "tur-Ainqiiestioned fact that the Democratic members of-Congress froth this',State had a consultation this summerat Bedford, and ,resolved to try to get bath State Conventions to ignore the -back-pay question; ,Several prominent Republicans in the State iverp approached with the assu rance that. if. the Republican State Conven-: tlon would take no action on it, the' Demo erotic, Convention could likewise be kept quiet 4 itid the programme agreed upon for the Democratic Convention was to pack the committee on resolutions; elect Speer per manent Chairman ' pass a resolution toTefer all resolutions to the committee without' bate, ,ainl when it reported to refuse. to-dis charge lk - Under this programme it was thought that all resolUtions against back pay could be referred without debate and squelched, and that,if offered after the coin initteeTeported they could still be so refer -red, the committee not having been dis charged.- But the. best laid plans -of mice and men will go wrong sometimes, arid•:-thc wetikpointin this scheme was Speer. The Convention_silV7 the mouse in the meal tub too plainly. 'The result of this prechius scheming is proof of the wisdom of the Republicans who were so approached in refusing to lis ten to the offer of, the Democratic Congress men that if our Convention-would say noth ing about-back pay the Democratic Co - Elven., Lion would also be kept quiet. The temp ters who urged this offer have now shown that they could not have kept the condition al promise they proposed to make.

He looks healthy and appears to be in good spirits. It is rumored that he is actively en gaged in making preparations for a Senato rial contest. His chances, his friends say, are good, but his enemies, who outnumber his friends, think-differently. All the inte rest Washingtonians have in him is purely for his money. il'he Post Office Deparitment has been sore ly in attempting to fill, promptly, or ddrs for postal cards. It was little thought that tie demand for them would be so great. Thus far, up to August 31st, over sixty mill ionshave been ordered, making, accord' to the census of 1870, one and ra half to ev ery man, woman, and child in the United States.' It is thought that perhaps the nov elty of it has occasioned the demand for so great a number,,and*that after a little while the demand for them will, not be so great; that business men will prefer to pay the ad ditional two cents postage with the privi lege of sending a lengthy letter under seal, rather than a shoe - advertised •to the world for the sum of one cent. Several claim agents here in WashingtBn took advantage of the postal cards in writ ing to their clients, and, if the truth was known, they are the losers by it. For in stance, a patent attorney, showed me two letters from inventors reading as follows:—. " Sir, your postal card is received, after hav ing been read by the, clerks of the post of fice and my whole household,. informing me that my supposed improvement - on harrow teeth was no improVement at all, and there fore not patentable. I; wrote you distinctly that I was a little dOubtfal as to the patent ability of it, but requested you, in case af ter examination it was found to be unpat eatable, to let me know, not the whole town, including my family. We inventors are ex ceedingly suspicious, and don't care even to let our own families know our business. In closed you will please find ten three-cent postal stamps, and twenty cents to buy pa per and envelopes with, which I trust you will bear in mind to use when yon next have occasion to write mc." Another letter: " Sir, I've this day an nulled my power of attorney and sent no tice to the Department. I do this for the reason that I prefer to do business with an attorney who can 'afford a three-Cent -stamp when writing to me." The anticipation of the return to Wash ton of the President on or about the first of September has attracted hero quite a num ber of - Office-seekers. General Babcock re turned this morning, but no President, and there is little hope of his return until about the middle of next week. The White HoUse has been thoroughly renovated, and the old furniture replaced with new. A letter of instructions is being prepared to-day by the acting Solicitor of the -Treas ury to Judge Fisher, District Attorney, as to the course to be pursued in the prosecut ing of the Potomac Ferry Company and the officers of the late Wawasset. ' The Govern ment is determined to prosecute to the full est extent of the law. The Ethicatiotial Bureau is just in receipt of a package of educational documents from - Gen. Eaton, United States Commis sioner of Education, / n6w in London. The General writes tbathe bad spent much time in selecting valuable books, containing mat ter of interest;Which will doubtless be used in his next aanual report. The General is commissioned by the Government to go to Vienne in our educational interest. Beau Hickman is dead! Some mourn his loss, notwithstanding he depended on their charity for a livino Born of rich parents, endowed with a brit and intelligent mind, and receiving a liberal education, he is now being buried without pomp or parade in the potter's field. To shed a tear over his grave would be to give countenance to his ill-spent life. • It has before been said that Hickman was bornxich. These riches did him but little good. At an early age, when he, was a young man, his parents died, and the pos sessions loft him were soon squandered.— Since that time he has loafed , around the Washington hotels seeking whom he could g 6t slusll sums of money from. For se' e rrd years he succeeded admirably well as gentleman-beggar, but latterly, being of iii health, he has not practiced his profession with the same energy, and consequently with little success. He: was tasty• in his dress, and always commanded, among both strangers and acquaintances, a peculiar kind of respect not usual for beggars. His pad was to ingratiate himself into the lard of a stranger upon short acquaintance—seldom failing, after telling a good story„ to be able to beg from twenty-five cents to five dollars of him. From the . President down to a hod carrier, " Beau Hickman" was a household word: ' Seldom an 31.

The many readers of your excellent paper doubtless wonder why they don't hear from some of_ the Ttoga county bOys here in Kan sas, lam a constant reader of the Aorm.- mon, look over its columns carefully every week, and I have come to the conclusion that you have no representativesof your pa per in the Far yVest. This is my first at tempt at newspaper correspondence; but if the following items will he of any interest to your readers, ;you are at liberty to ,use them. The city of Atchison contains a popula tion of about 12,000, and many predict that it will be double that in the .next twelve months. Atchison has railroad facilities that no other city west of St. Louis possess es. It is the - terminus of eight railroads, ale eight years ago there,was not a rail : . road Innning into the city. We havothe choice of four trunk lines to Chicago. We have on the Kansas side of the Missouri river a railroad that is stretching forth its iron arm toward Santa Fe, ' and which is now completed to the Colorado line—over 400 miles from here; another running north to the capital of Nebraska, 170 miles; the third running west 100 miles into the great "Homestead Area." Leavenworth, twenty miles- south of us, and St. Joseph, twenty miles north, with populations almost double that of Atchison, aokfiowledge that our city is to be the city on the Missouri river. The success - of Atchison has depended altogeth er,upon the united effort and energy of her citizens'. This city will be called on the 29th of this month to vote on a proposition to sub scribe $lOO,OOO in bonds to the Chicago and Atehison Bridge Company. ~ The contract k‘ has lready been let; and Work will be com menced in ten days after the bonds are vot-' ed. The bridge is to be completed id one year fiom the commencement of work upon it. It is estimated the bridge will cost in the neighbo hoodlof $ 1,200,000:•, It is to bean iron railwa and Wagon bridge. The bonds, no doubt, ill be carried almost unanifnous ly, as proprty will double in value almost as soon as work is commenced. Leaven worth has got her . bridge, but it is built dome two miles from the city, consequently it does her citizens but little good, and the only railroad using it is the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, which runs two trains a day over it. St. Joseph has her bridge also, which is of no more benefit to the city than the Leavenworth bridge is to 'the latter place. Atchison will haie her bridge in a year's time, and it will be built at the foot of one of our main streets, and will benefit 'all alike. East Atchison, (formerly known as Winthrop,) opposite the city of Atchison,' in Missouri, is a lively little town, it being the terminus of four railroads, all patiently waiting to run their . ffaiiis across 'the iron bridge. The Northern Kansas District Fair, to be held a Woodland Park, near this city, is going to eclipse everything heretofore seen in the Fair line in the West. The premium list is the largest over offered in Kansas, and as competition is open to the world,, no doubt the collections' will be numerous and the attendance large. The railroads are lib eral, as most of them have agreed to - carry articles for exhibition free. pally are let- ors received from 'Eastern people stating that they will be here with articles to Com pete for the largest premiums ever offered in the West. _I wish some of the Tioga county people would happen to ,be here at that time to see - What the prolific soil of northern Kansas can produce. The Pair is to commence September Bth, and continue five 'days. I We have had a very dry summer, and the corn crop will be a partial failure, but the farinets will make ,by the operation. The large crop of"corn raised last year would hot bring them any, price, and. so the most of them held it over. Thousands of bushels of corn we burned here in place of wood, it only selling at -eight and ten cents 'per bushel, whit ¢ they, anticipate a • fair price this fail anal winter. The wheat yield was a large one, and exceeded - the .expectations of all. Hay was also good.- Kansas will ship thousands of bushels of _wheat - and corn to the Eastern marketsj. Our market here is filled every Morning with everything that can 'be desired. In the fruit line we have,apples, $1 per bushel; pears, peaches, plums, grapeS, at ten centwer. pound; and melons by the wagon' lead at flve cents a piece : --some as large as a 'geodsized Stove oven. In my earlier days, and when Ire sided in the beautiful town of Wellsboro, "us boys" used to, make midnight adven tures in the gardens aroundlohin, and many a time have I had dogs catch me by tln.k coat tail as I was climbing over, the fence* - But not so here in Kansas; a wagon load of mel ons will come into market, the owner will' get discouraged at hot, finding a read.y.,sale, and he - will say„ " Item, boys, help your selves."

Within the Past Week this' city has pro duced several horrible spectacles in' the shape of bodies mangled by the -frenzy of insanity. The cases referred to have been suicides, and suicide is considered evidence of insanity. Only the other day, an excel lent performer on King David's' instrument —the harp—shot himself, a yietim to his morbid sensitiveness.

His body was found in one of the parlors of his residence surrounded by blood which flow ed from a terrible wound in the left fore arm. Life had been extinct nearly. two hours, it was supposed, at the, time of the discoveii of the bodyC A raze .was used in committing the deed; it Was found clenched in= his right hand. Doubtless by the time this is beibre your readers there will be several more to chroniele4: , From Maine to Mexico horse .trading is regarded by the experienced as very .tick lish business, in which,' to use'a technical ity, " a man's eyes must make his own mar-, ket." This is, because the oral representa tions of the best judges of hofseflesh are always susceptible of dubiouS interpreta tion, and for some cause—the explanation of' which is left to moral philosophers—not One horse trader out of twenty On bring himself to understand that there is any• moral obliquity in getting the better Of a neighbor in aping or selling. .For instance,. two farme otherwise of unexceptionable probity, will spend spend days, and weeks even, in a wrangle as to -which shall outwit the other in a swap. The sharp, practice com mon in the rural districts, however, is noth ing to the knavery to 'be witnessed in some of our city horse markets. , All the occult tricks and expedients for hiding defects and blemishes are here well understood. BelW done expands tho pupil of a blind4kye until it looks natural; a poor old carcass can be made to look sleek and fat in, a few days; many an_ incipient ringbone or spavin cah be concealedso as to deceive the uninitiated while a negotiation for a sale •is pending.— The great majority of city buyers- are very. ignorant of what are good points in a horse, and therefore trust blindly to pretentious middle-men, who charge enormous commis sions. , Horses fairly worth $lOO not unfre: quently sell for-five times Chat amount, and when an unsophisticated horse owner wishes to dispose of an animal for. which 'he has paid a round sum, and which•he has fondly imagined was near perfection;,' lid is gene rally amazed at the disparaging remarkS of the commission man to wliem he confides the business of finding a purdhadde., ^,.• Those who aro to purchase, ornaments need to inform themselves intelligently about, the styles'in vogue. It is a good rule to wear no ornaments unless they tae the best of their kind, for plainness has-a distinction of its own, while tawdry, cheap , jewels mark thewearer as hopelessly ignorant.— For morning and demi:toilet solid silver • or naments have a greater favor than gold.— Necklaces of plain silver beads are fancied with black silk costumes, andheavy - crosses of silver embossed with jet? are suspended f from them: , The other evening as a gentleman accom panied by ladies was riding in a Third ave nue cat he had his Pocket pleked,.by a bOy frdm whom he was purchasing - an evening paper.

The scamp made liiiescape. The National Exchange Bank of Albany is the latest victim, of the epidemic of de falcations. The guilty parties in- this case are the Teller and his assistant. Of course they were old and universally respected em ployees of the bank, and therefore were al lowed to plunder the strong box at will. PEARL.
