Wiimol's Letter OF Acceptance.

nomination for Governor in letter which
reads as if he thought he was candidate for
the Governorship of Kansas, but an entire

illibefal fling al the foreigner. This was re-
membered TO be necessary 10 reconcile the
iraclious temper of Know-Nohingism but
was forgotten until nearly The end Of the eps-
lie. There is no aspect in which the letter
can have any fitness or per,inence TO candI
date for Governor of Pennsylvania, unless its
author has misty visions of slaves floating up
the Susquehanna. But il snaps and snarls at
the South in spirit better becoming rival
hack drivers than the disnI6ed Governor of
a fra,emal State. If he does not intend to
interfere with the institutions of Southern
States why This TRADE against lheml Cerlnin
il is that il the Governors Of all The States
showed like hostile spirit The Union would
moi hold together six months, and we would
have civil war in less than year.
But why is there nothing in this letter upon
questions of State policy? Has he no bowels

Case OF ID. IL. VUndeTsmith.

Deputy Marshal Jenkins arrived in Phila'
delphia on Tuesday evening, from Lancaster,
having in custody D. B. Vondersmh, charg-
cd with having commllled pension frauds
upon the general Government, some three
years since. He was brought before Judge
Kane, OF the United States District Court,
and, in The absence Of the District Attorney,
the case WAS postponed until Friday next
Vondersmllh was one OF the Associate Judges
OF the Quarter Sessions OF Lancaster, and is
charged, with Geo. Ford, one of the most
prominent members of the Lancaster bar,
with obtaining fraudulent pensions 10 the
amount of $4,000. He gave bail and fled
the country. Tired, however, it would seem,
OF being longer an exile, he last fall returned
10 his home in Lancaster, where he has kept
himself closely and unexposed until recent
ly, when he allowed himself TO be seen more
publicly, probably thinking that the eyes of
lhe officer were not in search OF him. But
in this he was mistaken, for n rumor Of lis
being here had been conveyed 10 the Mar
shal IN Philadelphia, who with the assistance
of Mr.. Connor, proceeded, early on Wednes-
day morning, 10 MIR. Vondsrsmh b S residence,
and finding ha, he was engaged OF work in
his garden, they arrested him.
Since Mr. Vondersmilh's return TO his home,
he has been engaged in restoring his garden
to its former beauty; and, being IN less atila-
en-, circumstances lhan formerly, he had in
tended it is said, if left undIsurbed, 10 have
added TO his means BY pursuing the culture
of flowers. His own relatives made Marshal
Yost acquainted with his whereabouts, and
led 10 his arrest The facts are said TO be
strong asaius, him. In the Urited States
Cour, he will be likely 10 meet with his de-
serts.
