The M'kean County Bank, we learn by the
Potter County Journal, gave up the ghost
few days ago. The cashier decamped with
$1,000 of its funds, was arrested in New
York, and committed in default of bail. The
bills of the bank have been thrown out in New
York. Mr.. Kingsbury, its president, says the
journal, will secure the holders of its issue
against loss, being able and willing to do so.

Mr.. Buchanan wrote letter to Mr. English
to help him procure nomination in his dis
trict for re- election to Congress. Mr.. English
read that letter, or what purported to be that
letter, to the nominating convention, and it
had its effect. The editor of the New York
Tribune published what he said was the sub
stance of the letter. The New Albany Ledger
pronounces the Tribune's document forgery,
and other Democratic papers cry out against
it as forgery, but none of the Democrats,
though boldly and loudly defied, dare under
take to prove tie forgery by the publication OF
the genuine letter. They fully admit the exis-
tence of that letter and the fact of its having
been read by English, but they have not the
courage to produce it and let the world see
what 1t really is. They know well, that, ,wheth-
er it does or does not consist of the precise
words given in the Tribune, it was such q let
ter as President of the United States could
not, without exposing himself to deep shame
and disgrace, write to partizan in a contest
for Congressional nomination. We advise
all the Democratic organs to observe death
like silence upon the subject of the alleged
forgery until they are prepared to let mankind
see what it was that their President actually
wrote. If the genuine letter were less infa-
nous than the forgery so called, it would have
been forthcoming weeks and weeks ago. So,
If the President didn't write exactly what the
Tribune published, he wrote what was quite as
bad-probabIy worse.
