On motion the following preamble and reeelu
ton was adopted:
Whereas Ii has come to the hnOwledge OF
this Board that the present State Treasurer has,
during the past wear, been i'll the practice of de-
posting the public moneys without such security

endangered the safe keeping of the public funds
and seriously prejudiced the interests of the
State; therefore.

Treasurer, Set forth in the foregoing preamble,

Of success.

AN UNLUcKY CANDIDArE-Gen. Henry d.
Foster, the Democratic nominee for Governor,
has been sipgularly unfortunate in his efforts
to obtain public Office. Fifteen years ago, he
was elected to Congress in the Westmoreland,
! Indiana and Cambria District, than good for
$500 Democratic majority, and in 1856 and
'57 he served in the Legislature to secure, il
possible, his election to the United States Sen,
ate, but he never could command more than a
corporal's guard of strength. The first year,
he was beaten, three to one, by weakened
Bgler !" the second year, Forney ran off with
the nomination. Foster then tried to get up a
bolt, and to induce the Republicans and Amer
lean to join his little band of adherents, and
elect him, but they respectfully declined
While Foster was innocently negotiating with
Know Nothings to elect him, Gen. Cameron
received the Anti-Forney Democrats, ,and. with
the United Opposition vote, was elected
When Foster found, to his unutterable surprise
that Cameron was elected, he changed his cote,
and gave it to Forney In 1853, he was nom
mated for Congress in the Westmoreland,
Indiana, and Armstrong District, and it was
hoped that his negative qualities would secure
him an election but John Covode beat him
to the tune of eleven hundred. He has thus
been shown to be exceedingly weak before the
peopIe-a fact of which there will be addition
al proof day or two after the October elec.
ton.

THE CHENAYao ExTENsfoN We learn from
the Olcego Times that " after fight Of unexampled
severity and long continuance, and after two defeats
which appeared conclusive against the rights and interests
Of the Southern Tier the Canal BILL containing the clause
for the extension Of the ChenangO passed the Senate
Friday last.
The friends of the extension of the Chenango had to
contend against powers that have hitherto been the
trolling influence Of the State, and against whose COM
mands no important could hope for To
the energy tact and indomabe perseverance Of Senator
Truman nobly and generously assisted by Senators Fer
Try, Hammond, McGraw, Ramsey, Richmond, Warner,
and Others the people Of Southern New York indebt
ed for the final of this measure in the Senate
The bill is fairly in the House, where, yet its
fate is uncertain. Our Member Hon. David Earl will
do all that be done for IT, We not Oversanguin6
of ultimate success milar effort will be made to
strike out the Chehango appropriation and pass the
Canal bill without it. We hope this will not be success
full and if it be in the House, the whole bill will likely
all in the Senate, which will do to expedite and
secure the Chenango appropriation than may first be
supposed"

D0- The Legislature of Kansas adjourned
on the 9th nit, at midnight. having dstin-
guished itself by granting many DIVORCES, but
with the rest of its business left in very con-
fused state. For want Of the Governors sig
nature, the General Election bill, over which
the Legislature had labored much, failed to
become law. AS it provided for a registry
Of the voters of the Territory, Gov. Medary,
who is constitutionally opposed to such forma-
lities, was happy to find an excuse for over
looking the bill on the fact that it was not pre-
sented to him until near the close of the session.
1t is feared that this want of action leaves the
Territory without any statute under which it
can elect officers.

R@- We notice that the SusquehannG Re
publican publishes the proceedings of several
Republican clubs which have been organized
preparatory to the coming election. We do
not know of the formation of single club in
this County. Are we not neglectiug the mat
ter too long? The experience of 1856 was,
that township clubs were the most efficient
means of advancing the success of the cause.
We trust that our friends will no longer delay,
but perfect their organization, and be ready
when the nomination is made at Chicago, to
enter upon the contest.
We shall be pleased to publish the organi-
zaton Of these clubs, with the names Of the
officers, sc.

pa- On Thursday morning, man named
Tinker, died at Syracuse from taking poison
He first poisoned his two children, aged about
8 and years, and having laid them out and
folded their hands upon their breasts, he left
them in an unoceuped room where some of his
furniture was slowed and went to his hotel
and took the poison himself. On Tuesday he
poisoned horse belonging to DR.. SearIes of
Syracuse, and it is supposed he intended to try
to shoot DR.. Searles, as loaded pistol was
found ON him. The cause was the estrangement
of his wife and her intimacy with DR.. Searies,
under the influence of free love principles
Great excitement exists, and Dr. Searles has
has been locked up in the Penitentiary to pro-
tect him from the indignation of the citizens.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.-A reg
ular meeting Of the Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany was to be held at London on the day the
North American left Liverpool. The report
of the Board of Directors states that the ell
deavorS which have been made for some months
back to raise the necessary additional cable
have resulted in the Subscription of SO 900
The Board, however, are disposed to defray
from their own zeans, the expenses Of keep,
ing the Company in existence for q further
period. A committee was constituted some
time back to report on deep sea telegrapbs,
and the conclusions arrived at will shortly be
laid before Parliament. The Chairman and
officers of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
were among its members and the belief is
that the information acquired in such as to de-
moustrate that works of this character are
much eaSieI Of accomplishment than the most
sanguine have hitherto supposed them to be-
The Board have likewise been encouraged by
these Investigations to attempt to recovery of
the cable and its restoration toworkng ordder
Two thousand pounds will be required for
this purpose but in the worst event consid-
erable portion Of this amount will be repaid by
the sale of the quantity of cable picked up
1t lie accordingly proposed to offer the twenty
pound shares remaining unissued, giving to the
subscribers lien on the proceeds of all the
cable that may be saved, and the privilege, in
case of success, receiving gratuitOusIy twenty
pound share, fully paid up. The balance sheet
of the Company shows the finds in hand to
be only 1898. The total expenditures have
been 4466,6 ,65S.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FINED AND IMPRIsON-
ED.-On Tuesday of last week the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, sitting at Philadelphia
fined the Commissioners of Allegheny county
one thousand dollars each, and ordered them
20 be committed to the prison of Allegheny
county until the fine is paid, for refusing to
obey mandamus directing them to levy tax
to pay the interest on the railroad bonds Of
that cosnty. The Chief Justice, is sentencing
one of the prisoners, remarked
You have been found guilty Of one of the
most enormous offenses known to the Court.
1t is not only in your individual capacity, but
as public official 10 violation of your oath Of
Office to support the Constitution of the Unit
ed States as well as the Constitution of this
Commonwealth, you have allowed yourself to
be placed at the head Of an organized rebellion
to the existing laws of the State You have
given the cause to the custody of your enemies
and allowed them to be your advisers, and
have counted the cost"
The offending Commissioners are now in
Jail at Pittsburg, and are determined not to
obey the order of court. They perform their
duties of Office in prison and are visited by
hundreds as the greatest lions of the city.

Mr.. MCCLURE. I have not used any
personal argument at all have only
answered the Senator's remarks made upon a
party ground. He said he had been 10 the
Legislature for years and he never heard of
party being mentioned in public bills. | be-
lieve it to be true But if he sat in the Legis-
ture during the Buckshot war, / will venture
to say be never cast anything but a party vote.
Some years ago gentleman who stood high
in judicial circles was nominated by the Oppo.
sition as a candidate for Governor. He was
defeated, but the people from one of the
northern counties elected him Judge. He was
accused, but great confidence was felt in the
Senate because gentleman who had sat on
the bench, was there, but that confidence was
disappointed as that gentleman yielded to
party and the Judge first tottered aud finally
fell under party necessities. / am sick of this
thing. On every question that comes up, the
Senator from Chester throws up his hands and

REPUBLICAN VICToBY.-The day breaks
grandly over the Granite hills of New Hamp.
shire. The election of Tuesday resulted in the
triumph of the Republican State ticket by a
majority largely increased over that of last
year. To New Hampshire belongs the honor
of the first victory in the campaign of 1860
Last year Goodwin's majority over Cate, de.
mocrat, was 3543 This year Goodwin's ma
jority is upward of 5000 showing an increase
of 1900 over last year. Last year the Repub
lican majority in the Legislature was 73 ; thi:
year the majority is 9O-a gain of seventeen
over last year.
In 1856, Fremont had $3.50 over Buchanan
and the returns of Tuesdays work indicate
nearly as heavy majority for Goodwin. A
more suspicious opening of the campaign could
not be asked for. All hail New Hampshire
