A New York BURGLAR SHOT BY Wo-
MANA burglar, whose name is unknown, was
shot in the store of Philip Finger, in York-av-
enue, Staten Island, on Monday night last, by
Miss Jane Wilcox who slept in the rear of the
store, and was awakened by the noise OF the bur-
glar rumaging among the goods. She openeda
glass door which separated the apartments, and
called out, " Who is there ?" when the person
started 10 run. The young lady at this instant
caught up loaded pistol which was at hand,
and fired at the retiring thief Yesterday af-
ternoon the body of man about 80 years of
age was found floating in the bay, near Clifton.
In one of his pockets was found small chisel
and keys. His face was perforated in two
places by pistol shots, sufficient to cause death.
| he Coroner's jury found that the man came
to his death by pistol shots, fired by Miss Will
cox, while he was burglarously employed in
the above store, and commended the heroic con-
duct of the young lady in defending the proper
ty of her friend at the risk Of her own lie. Tho
man probably had confederates, who, after he
died. threw his body overheard.

view, and none passed Inspection. Money, and
not power. was sought, but nothing was rich
enough to satisfy Colonel Forney's ambition,
nothing lucrative enough to reward him for
his services to Mr.. Buchanan and the party
After some weeks delay, nm understanding was
had between Mr.. Forney and his real friends,
that the Consulate at Liverpool should be made
north $4,000 per annum, mot $4,000 az we
enormously stated in our previous article.) or in
other words 800, 900 for the four years Of Mr.. But
chanan's administration, and that $10,0 900 should
be paid TO him at once in cash. The only return
to be made for this salary, in addition to the emol-
'uments Of the consulate, was the discharge OF
the duty of foreign correspondent for one or two
newspapers
Such, it appears, are the magnificent pro-
posals made TO Forney by the administration.
" The Consulate al liverpool 10 be made north
$25 900 per dnnum-equal 10 the salary of the
President In other words the Treasury was
to DO plundered TO this amount TO pay the dirty
work of the campaign. Surely this is demo-
cratic economy with vengeance.
Col. Forney is another instance of the in
gratitude of men elevated TO power, who kick
away the ladder upon which alone their ascent
was made. He is entitled 10 the sympathy
and support of his party; and, judging from
the commentator bestowed upon the man and
his enterprise by the Argus, is likely to re-
ceive both. He has done a large amount of
dirty work, and those acquainted with the de.
veopments of the " Forrest Divorce Case
know full well that none could do dirtier job
for his party, and il is hut meet that he SHOULD
receive his reward. We know of no one who
could publish more able, faithful and IN
scrupulous organ for the democracy than Johr

SCREWS IN PROVIDENCE, II. l. The manu-
laciure Of screws in Providence, r. l., is mat
ter of special interest both from the fact Of the
very admirable and efficient manner in which
the work is done, and from the remarkable cir
cums,ance that, of the entire product Of these
little implements in the United States, the
greater part eighty one .hundredths is the
exact fgurc) are made in the Providence estab-
lishmens. The labor occupies one thousand
hands, with the result of an annual value of over
a million dollars. More than six hundred diff
fcrent sizes and kinds of screws are made in the
two factories, which turn off each day fourteen
thousand gross with daily residuum of three
tons and half of iron turnings or chips. Screws
Were first made here by machinery, in 1884, in
a very humble way, but since that time the bu-
siness has constantly increased, and the manu-
facturc has been wonderfully facilitated aud
perfected by the continual smplcaton and l.
provemcnt Of the machinery employed The
precision and rapidity of the almost lifclike mode

Committee.
The County Convention.
July Is, 1867.

The importance of full representation at
our county convention cannot be overestlmated,
1t is a mistaken notion many people entertain,
when they express the opinion that it is of no
sort of consequence whether they do or do not
have a voice in the selection of candidates for
county officers. In this county a nomination
by the Republicans is tantamount TO an election,
therefore it is very necessary that the proper
selection of men for the various offices should
he made. Every town in the county should
be represented in the nominating convention,
that all sections and all interests may have
their just and proper influence. If this is done,
there can afterwards be no complaint that the
nominees were unfairly selected and therefore
not entitled TO the full support of all acknowl-
edging honorable party obligations.
As it is not practically convenient for all
Republicans to attend the county convention
the experiment of delegate or representative
convention will be tried this year. AS the
delegates are elected at home, men having the
confidence of those they represent can be chosen,
and thus practical expression Of the will of
the people be given, while each town will pos.
sess lis relative share of influence in the con-
NPnlOH. w Z CuH COHCClNC VI w OlHeI way 81
truly democratic, and yet easy Of applca-
ton. At any rate the experiment is worth a
fair trial, and this can only be had by full
representation.
We urge it again upon town committees to
be vigilant and attend in season 10 the calling
of the town conventions. In some Of the towns
this work has already been done.
As TO the candidates TO be put in nomination
but little need be said. If we were merely to
for the purpose and with the expectation thai
they will be knocked over, only 10 be defeated
it would matter little so that we vindicacd oui
political consistency. But as our nominees are
10 be elected we should be careful 10 selec
men that will best discharge the duties Of tht
offices to which they will be chosen-men hon
est, capable and faithful not only TO the consli
tuition, but TO the political principles upon whicl
they accept their nominations.
1t gives us pleasure TO note the apparen
harmony that exists in our ranks. We know
of no subject that is likely to create dissension
or divisions in the county during the pending
canvass. Matters upon which we have here
,ofore split with more or less bitterness of feel
ing, seems to have become obterated, an
men are prepared 10 act more with a view /
public good than with any desire to subseiv
private or selfish ends. -..f
In conclusion let us hope that good men wi
be sent to the convention, and that when as
sembled, their deliberations will be marke
with that general desire 10 promote the ine
esis and prosperity Of our ancient county all
beloved State, which should be the aim of e'
good citizen.

A Dilemma.

When the people of Kansas came knocking
at the door of the Union, nth the Topeka Con-
slltulion all adopted and ratified by a large ma
der the principles of squater sovereignty as
embodied in the Kansas Nebraska act they
were met with cool refusal There was no
question about the majority in favor of that
Constitution. Ii was not denied that their in
strument was intended to establish a republican
form of government. Why then were they
refused Simply, it was asserted, because
Congress had passed no enabling act auihoriz-
ing them 10 frame constitution. Ignorant
men as they were, they rested their faith upon
such expounders as Cass and Douglas, and be-
lieved that the principles profoundly set forth
in the organic territorial act by those who con-
ceived and adopted it,, we're not all a delusion
and cheat.
The people of Oregon territory have just
elected delegates to a constitutional convention,
although Congress refused to pass an enabling
act in their case. Those delegates are about
Lane, their newly elected delegate will pre-
sent TO Congress next Winter. Oregon will,
we predict, be admitted Its constitution will
be sufficiently pro-slavery TO suit those who
made the administration. AT the same time
we shall be anxious to see the excuse by which
this fragrant injustice is defended before the
world. 1t will place some of the doughiaces
in dilemma from which ii would be difficult
10 extricate respectable men.

Az UNUSUAL WEDDING ScENE-Some
time since, six young gentlemen bid farewell to
the lasses who hal won their hearts amid Sco-
tia's blooming heather, and sought the shores
of America, in hope of being enabled the better
to prepare for welded life. They located at
Chicago, where the remembrance of their "bon-
ME Annie Lauries" inspired them to unusual
and persevering exertlons till fortune at last so
favored them that they sent home to Scotland
the information that they were now anxious to
see their betrothcd, and accompanied the mess
age with goodly remittance to pay their passage
The girls, for mutual protection and society came
over the ocean in the same vessel, and arrived
in safety a; Quebec. Thence they embarked
with several hundred other emigrants on river
steamer, to continue their journey down the St.
Lawrence. That steamer was the Inflated Mon.
trcal, and of the six betrothed maidens five
found either frey or watery graves The sixth,
Miss Jan1ette Pettigrew, was taken up for drow-
ed, and only by faithful and persistent attention
was her life saved. All her worldly possess
ions were gone, but knd-heartnd women at
Montreal supplied her abundantly when they
heared her affecting story. Eventually she
reached her destination, and in a late number
of the Chicago Tribune there is chronicled the
marriage of Mr.. Adam Tate OF Chicago, TO
Miss Jeanette Tettigrew. He alone reaped
the reward of his long exertions; and at the
wedding there were present two of the other
five young men, whose feelings when they con-
trasted the happiness of their friend with their
own bereaved condition must have been said in

The PRoFI rs OF INSURANCE. People some
times wonder why they are charged such high
rates for insurance From the thiry-eighth
annual report of the Etna Fire Insurance Com
pany, Hartford, CT, We can learn the answer
TO their inquiries. That document shows a
success beyond anything of the kind with which
we have ever met. On $l95. 900 paid in by
shareholders, the net earnings for the thirty
eight years business, after the payment of
losses to the amount of l0.437 3l2 "a, shows
a balance of 81 603 452 ,85 on an average of
S45.Sl2, (abont "a per cent? annually. OF
this large amount of profit, $l.l32 ,404 81 has
been realized " thin the last four years and a
half, being an average of $25l.G45 annually,
during that time, and one hundred and hUenty-
nine per cent annually, upon the amount paid
in by shareholders. During The last four or
five years the rates of insurance in nearly or
quite all the insurance companies in New Eng
land have been largely increased. The reason
of this is obvious-enOrmous dividends. There
is one consolation however, ---most of them pay
their dues puncually. They can well afford to
be prompt.

More Squatter Sovereignty.

The inhabitants Of Lawrence, Kansas, have
in their sovereign capacity, adopted city char
ter, and elected municipal officers in accord
ance with its provisions. Governor Walker is
greatly indignant at this assumption of author
ity, calls it treason because no reference was
had TO the enactments of the bogus territorial
legislature, and threatens 10 march the United
States troops against the city if the people per-
sisl in removing dead horses from the streets in
the manner therein pointed out
Such is the operation Of that Democratic doc
trine which declares that the inhabitants of a
territory have right to adopt for themselves
such institutions as seem best calculated TO pro-
mote their welfare The Missouri Compro-
mise was repealed, according to this Democrat
IL authority, that squatter sovereignty might
be extended over the territories Of the fedora
government. But when the people of cit,
quietly adopt city charter the whole author

THE STATE CoNvENTIoN.-The Sentinel says
there were four hundred and twenty-eight Demo-
Gratis present Mt the State Convention, which was
three hundred and twenty-five more than at the
woolly head Convention at Burlington. That the
President and Vice Presidents Of the Democratic
Convention were men of weight in the community
is evident from the fact that three weighed 73G
pounds Beilows Falls Argus.
Other and quite as reliable accounts state
the number in attendance to have been but one
hundred and twenty-five 10 one hundred and
fifty. As to the weight we give in. The
Democratic party in this State has long car
red great quantity of dead weight, which ac-
counts for the fact that it has not made better
time.
