county few years ago, and was stone
mason by trade. There was such man
here, and for misconduct had to leave the

THE DOG WAR.-It will be seen by a
notice by the Town Commissioners, printed

number Of dogs. Dogs have long been a
nuisance here, and the town will not lose
anything by the killing Of few of them.

assurances that his had been honorable and sat-

Nine months after, the arrest of Mr.. Dillaye took
place, as already stated aud in ten months more be

called for the prosecution were Me-srs L. d. JONES'
the Cashier of the Citizens Bank of Pittsburgh Alex
ander Miller the Pr sdent of the Mouougabela Valley
Bank and James e. Huey one of the Commissioners
of the latter bank who conducted the negotiations for

These the facts presented in the published state

the motives which ac,uated the instigztors of the
prosecution Upon this point his narrative is briefly
es follows;
ain the year 1856, the Hon. James Guthrie then
being the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Dilaye
appointed u. s. Appraiser at large. This Office he
held also under Secretary Cobb, the of Mr.
Guthrie. While in this position he came in contact
with Daniel L. Sickles and Emanuel b. Hart expo-ing
and d. nouDcDg plan they had formed to control the
representation of the New-York Democracy in oolt
cal conventions. Having by this acG brought opos
himself the hostility of these par les they determined
that be should be removed from Office. To bring about
this result they employed j. b. Guthrie, aud by
his aid AIMED series OF charges against MIR. Disye
These charges he dsproved receiving from eight mem
bers of the New-York delegation IN Congress certd-
cate to this effect He was, however, removed. He
then came out with pamphlet, in which he made
urdry charges against Secretsry Cobb and j.
Guthrie, and bitr controversy ensued. In revenge
for this the prosecution for forgery instituted and
