Mr.. Editor, noticed, some time

proposition to the effect that the Re-

lesce in 1860, dividing between
them tho candidates for President
aud Vice President, as per such
agreement IA they can make. OBJ.
served, also, your editorial com
ments thereon, with which | was
much pleased, and which believe
to embody sound doctrine.
| have always been accustomed to
revere the Tribune as an exponent
of true political faith, and to regard
its political opinions as almost ora,
cular Perhaps it has good argu-
ment to adduce in support of its new

surprise and pain that beheld such
a suggestion emanating from such a
source.
Political philosophy, as we'll as
experience, teaches us, that men
must bo bound together by some
common interest or sentiments, or
there is no enduring combination.-
Issues cannot be manufactured by
politicians, nor can parties. In the
course of the country's legislation
questions arise of themselves, for
settlement, upon one side or the 9TH
er OF which the people naturally
range themselves, as their opinions
or feelings may impel them. Thus,
and thus only, parties are formed

lCoshocton County Treasury Robbed.-
!, sis,OOO Abstracted.--A Big Hole IN
the Democratics sub-Treasury through
which the Hard Money nnds an ontiet.
1 The Coshocton county treasury
was robbed Of sl9, 500, OH Friday
night last. One Of the robbers en-.
tered the Office, . little after nine
o'clock, while the Treasurer was
all alone, and proposed to pay the
tax on q town lot in New Castle
When the Treasurer turned to look
for the tax list, the villain threw q
shawl over his head, and so entangled
him that he could make no defense,
thereupon two other villains rushed
in, and having gagged him, tied him
head and foot, and then threw him
into box, and taking from his pock-
ct the keys Of the safe, opened it and
robbed it of all its contents, amount.
ing to s19,50O, principally all gold.
Having locked the door, they made
their escape, leaving the Treasurer
in no very comfortable quarters
His family becoming uneasy at bis
long absence, sent to the office to as-
certain what was the matter. The
Office was found locked, but groans
being heard from within, the door
was broken open and he was found
in quite an exhausted condition.
No trace has been found of the ras.
Gals, as yet. Such are some Of the
beauties OF the present sub-treasury
law. The fact that this law gives
such villains the fullest assurance
that, at given time, 80 much money
is most certainly kept in the Treasn-
rer's Office, Is strong temptation for
such fellows to make desperate ef-
tort to reach it. But how much more

Fight directly from the people. As
1t is. under the present arrangement,
these representatives are not hal tho
tine the choice of the people. The
Democracy will admit themselves,
that had an election taken place
last fall, for members of the Legisla-
tnre, their party would have been
sadly in the minority. Yet these
very men, who assume to represent
the people, are the very men who
would have been rejected by them,

the people for their suffrage. Such
is a practical illustration of the re
gard the Democracy have for popu-

1t will be recollected that the De
mocratic Legislature of our state,
last winter, passed an act increasing
the salaries OF the Judges ofthe Su.
preme Court to $1,000 year. 1t
was charged, at the time; that this
increase was at the instigation of
Judge Bartlay, and the purpose was
TO repeal tho law or amend it SO as
to reduce the salary, in case the
Democratic candidate for the Judg,
ship was defeated. We'll, such has,
to some extent, proved the fact. A
bill is now before the Legislature,
having in view the reduction of ,..c
salaries of these same Julgse. The
same Legislature that enacted the
law to benefit partiz.ns, is now
ready to repeal it, inasmuch as il
has not Injured to the benefit OF the
party.

SsART TRIcKi-We see that the Common
Pleas Courts are fixed for Putnam on the
very dayS-all three terns--as for Defiance.
This looks like o Findlay trick. II its de.
sign is TO keep our woody. horse LAWYERS out
OF Putnam, with their lamentations over
hansas aud negro wIOngs--the thing is all
well enough; but If II is designed To affect
the Practice, the bread and butter of our
Attorneys, several Of whom heretofore at.
tended the Courts Of Putnam, it resolves it
self into q scaly trick--decidedly.
-LDefance Democrat
Tho above is quite a precious ex.
hibition OF the generosity towards
opponents that characterizes not u
few OF the Democracy. 1.-THE Judges
of this subdivision had formed 30
lltical conspiracy, ior the purpose OF
preventing the RepuJlican lawyers
of Defiance from attending the Put.
nam county Court, it is a righteous
act, in the estimation of this SAGE
but if the object was to do
injustice alike to Republican and
Democratic Lawyers, the case is
quite different. BY some strange
trsnsmutation, it resolves itself in
a "scaly trick-Iecidedly." The
three Judges, who arranged the
terms OF Court in this subdivision,
are oil Democrats, and of course we
cannot speak of their purpose in this
case from personal knowledge; but
we will venture they never thought
of interfering with the rights or in
terests Of any Lawyer at Defiance.

New YORK, Sept 81.
The Herdld's correspondent on board the
United States steamer Powhattan, in a letter
dated July 3, gives the following account of
thorelations existing between the Chinese and
the present American Minister:
Last Wednesday, June 80, the Toruuan
went in search of another entrance to the riv-
er Peiho, and returned during the day with
the report that they had landed with an in
terpreter at a small town near stream, and
just had time to give the Minister'S letter to a
Chinese official, when troop of mounted
cavalry was discovered gallOping towards
them some thousands strong. All hands very
naturally took to shank's mare as fast as they
could carry them to the boat, returned and
made report Of their failure, which created
considerable meriment. 1t was given up for
a certainty that John Chinaman was not 60

President Pierce.

The Concord On. H. Standard, edited by
Edmund Burke, expresses the opinion that
ex-President Pierce is struggling for second
term. 1t says:
"His agents and tools, the ex-oficeholders
under him, throughout the whole Union, have
been busily at work during his absence in Eu-
rope, to accomplish his purpose of procuring
denomination. His particular confidential
personal friends here make no secret of their
design to procure his denomination. The
friends Of other candidates may therefore set
it down as fixed fact that Franklin Pierce
is in the field for denomination. And he
hopes again to be taken up as compromise
candidate, as in 1862. His friends have great
hopes and expectations from the South"

Eighteen Bodies Recovered.
The Detroit Tribune has few additional
particulars in regard to to the heart-rending
accident which occurred at Albion, N. Y, on
Wednesday last, the Goth.
The Orleans County Fair was in progress,
and one of the attractions incident to the &C.
casion, was a tight rope performance. A rope
was stretched from the upper story 0fa build

al, upon which the performer was announced
to walk. In the immediate vicinity the Erie
canal was spanned by an iron bridge, about
IL feet above the water. Upon the bridge were
assembled about 500 people and three double
teams. Just as the gymRast was getting out
of window to begin his task, the bridge gave
way, precipitating all who were on it en- masse
into the water. The scene which ensued, with
such large number of men, women and chill

criminate mass, battles all description, The
water was from seven to eight feet IN depth,
and those who fell underneath were, Of course,

had been taken out, and it was supposed
there would further additions to the frightful
category. The number injured is not stated,

Fatal Boiler Explosion.
New York. Sen,

New YORK, Sept. 80.
A few minutes after six o'clock this morn
ing, the boiler used for cooking purposes in
the Girard House, exploded with fearful
crash, instantly killing John O'Connor, a
plumber, and injuring the fireman, John Col
Inns, to such an extent that his recovery is
impossible. The boiler was situated in the
basement, and the whole building was shak-
en- by the exposition. The barber shop on
the first floor, was literally blown in pieces,
the floor and furniture being thrown together
in heap of confusion and ruin There were
two BARRIERS in the room at the time, sleeping
in chairs, who, strange to say, escaped with
out injury.
The marble floor of the building was torn
up in several places. In the hall of the pri-
,vate entrance partition several feet in length
has sunk down some inches in the room be-
low there is also mass of ruins The win
dows were broken, and everything piled up
promiscuously.
