More Revelations.

The New York Herald contains an addi-
tional series of revelations in regard TO the
John Brown conspiracy correspondents
is given purporting TO have taken place be-
tween Gov. Robinson, Redpath and others,
relating to affairs In Kansas and the John
Brown raid which contains some curious de-
velopments. The correspondence duplicates
the leaders of the Republican party in the
Brown conspiracy, aud shows that the events
in Kansas were but preliminary to the raid.
at Harper's Ferry, both being parts of the
same scheme of revolution concocted and Or
ganized four years ago. When Robinson
was examined by the Senate investigating
Committee, he asserted that John Brown and
Redpath were the only leaders in Kansas who
avowed revolutionary designs, and that the
Free State party had no connection with
them, and would not obey them. 1t appears
from this correspondence that Robinson him.
self was one of the most ultra revolutionary
leaders, outstripping in atrocity even John
Brown himself. Not only did he endorse
him by certificates aud an address ito the
settlers of Kansas" but he .'coldly proposed
to him to assassinate all the leading office
holders in Kansas" 1t further appears that
Robinson sought to bring all the Northern
States into the civil war which was about be-
ing inaugurated In Kansas, aud that they
proceeded thence to the East for that purpose
The following is 4 letter from Redpath tC
Phillips
"You, perhaps remember, just before The
sack of Lawrence by the border rufians. tha
Robinson started East [, for one could no
understand why he should want to leave a
such time, and urged him sternuously t.
stay; and when pressed for reason as to hi
departure. he told me that he saw the whol
country was going to be involved in civi
war, and that he was going to the Free State
to rouse the Governors and the people o
them to arms, so that when the armies cam
on US, another could strike our enemies else
where, if necessessary, at Washington.
Every day brings out new facts, whic
more and more fully convince the country Q
j the completely of the leaders of the Reput
j lican party with the desperate attempt of job
Brown to create a servile war.

Bribery in Rhode Island.

The Abolitionists of Rhode Island as well
as those of Connecticut, resorted to the most
shameless bribery and the most corrupt and
disgracefui practices, in order to save them
selves from defeat In the recent elections
In Rhode Island, even their candidate for
Governor, Seth Padelford, az Abolitionist of
the regular John Brown stamp, appears to be
implicated in direct bribery and an attempt
to disfranchise over 400 voters. The facts
are specific, and not of character to be pass
ed lightly by. They show the desperate

| impending defeat at the hands of the people
| The Providence Post makes the charge dis
| tinct and positive, as follows
In Rhode Island registry tax of 81 has TO
be paid annually, and its payment certified
| before a man can vote. The Democrats in
| Cranston became suspicious that the collector
| of these taxes for that town had been bought
with Abolition money to delay the issue of the
certificates until after the expiration of the
legal time, and thus disfrapchise hundreds of
voters who would vote for Spraguei The re-
ceipts were therefore insisted upon, and TO
guard against failure the Town Clerk was re-
quested TO be present, that he might receive
| the money if the collector should fail to per-
form his whole duty. Nearly FIVE hundred
dollars were paid, and between three and four
hundred voters were qualified. 1t is now as
certained. by the Collectors own extorted
confession. that the fears of the Democrat:
were not without cause. He admits that NJ.
Pade!ford himself employed him to ''do what
he could" and paid him $500 down, and

should need" When the proof accumulated

F Our readers are all doubtless aware,
that the Representatives of the American De
mocracy convened in Charleston, South Carroll
ma, on Monday. The first day would doubtless
be consumed in examining credentials effect
ing permanent organization &c. The work
of nominating a candidate for President
would most likely be commenced on yester-
day. Next week we will be able to inform
our Democratic readers who is to be their lea
der in the great political struggle of 1860
If the Convention gives us democratic can
didate and Democratic Platform. brilliant
victory will be insured. The Democracy are
everywhere 'eager for the fray" and impa-
tiently await the appearance of the leader
who is to arrange the order of battle. and
point the road to victory. After carefully
examining list of the members of the Con-
veution we are released from any fears We
entertained with regard to the result of its
deliberations. 1t contains many Nestors and
but few Hotspurs, many conservative men
and but few fire eaters. A sufficient number
OF able and conservative men will be pres
ent to successfully oppose and frow down any
action or the part of the Convention, calcu-
lated to disturb the harmony of the party, OF
prevent its members from going into the con-
test with harmony and unanimity.
As q matter of course, the hopes of many
aspiring politicians and their friends will be
blighted in the Convention. But that is
matter of but little importance to the rank
and file of the party. They are interested il
the success not of men but of principles, anc
all that they ask is that their leader be
sincere and efficient defender and representa-
tive of those principles.

Great Freshets at the WeSt..-The recent
heavy rains have swollen the western rivers
to an extent not known before in many years
In Ohio all the tributaries to the Scioto over
flowed their banks, and the Scioto was higher
than known at any time previously in twelve
years. Scarcely movable thing in its
course but that was carried off. The entire
valley says the Columbus Journal, above the
National Bridge as far as the eye could reach,
was one mass of water, studded with tree
tops. Fences, barns and sheds were carried
away for miles in extent. On the Central
Ohio railroad the food was particularly des-
tructive. and there is little doubt. says the
Journal. that the freshet will prove one OF
the most destructive that ever visited the Sci
oto valley.

The Coyode Committee.

The proceedings of the Covode investiga-
ton Committee, have thus far elected only
the contempt Of respectable men of all par
tics No startling disclosures have yet been
made, and the indications that the up
shot, of the matter will be, to place Mr. Co.
vode and his hackers in very ridiculous po-
sition Every man the National Admins
tr.tiop is known to have had difficulty with,
has been subpoenaed to appear before the
committee, private letters have been produ-
ced and read and private conversations have
been detailed with the utmost minuteness.-
Yet nothing has been yet disclosed, calcula-
ted to sully the good name of the President
II is said that the Democratic members of the
Committee intend to subpoena o few of the
Dig guns of the Black Republicans to appear
andtestify, and that certain facts will be dis
closed which will place the Immaculate CO.
vode and many other prominent Republicans
in an unenviable position. 1t would be 1
good joke if they should after having sowe'

The greatest rogue in a crowd is general.

salary Of County superintendent.

We have been furnished with the following
extract from letter addresred to gentleman
in this place, by Mr.. Mccormick. the present
County Sup erintendent. It settles the ques-
ton as to the payment of the salary of the
Superintendent. 1t is drawn from the gener-
al appropriation. and not from the fund be-
longing to the County:
JOHNsTowN, April 2Sa, 1860.
DEAR SIR:-The Common School Law OF
1854 says, that the Salary of the County Su-
perintendent sialI be paid by the State Su-
perintendent, from the amount of the State
appropriation to be paid to the several school
! districts for said county.
Mr.. Black, the then State Superintendent
considered this language incompatible with
I, the general provisions of the Common School
Act, and, consequently, first took out of the
State appropriation. enough to meet the de-
mands of the experimenting Department
, distributing the balance left pro rata among
the several School districts of the State.
The policy has been adhered to ever sinc
by those having control of the School fund
The appropriation has been increased t
$3.50. 900, from which enough is first takel
! to pay Superintendents. and the balance di
vided among the Districts For Cambri
County $500 salary is little enough. On
thousand will make the Districts no poorer
one hundred will make them no richer.
: The Departments, in late decision, init
mates, that Directors who vote down tn
salary to low figure, SO as to present th
acceptation of the Office by competent mcr
viii be refused the appropriation to the Di
rectors of the County"
