7-30 TREASURY NoTEs-IMpoRTANT No
TIoE.-Holders of the August issue of Sew
en-Thirties wishing to convert them into
Five-Twenty Bonds bearing sic per cent. IN
teTeSt IN gold, can now do so at the First
National Bank of Towanda.
This is probably the most favorable time
to make the conversion. If delayed until
maturity of the notes, the rush will be so
great that the Treasury Department will be
unable to supply the Bonds promptly.
In making the exchange, the interest will
be allowed on the Seven Thirties to date of
conversion, and the back interest on the
Fiye-Twenty Bonds paid to same date, in
currency. This interest will be returned to
holders Of the Bonds july 1st, IN coin, mak-
ing a clear profit to them Of 1ohatever the pre-
MUM on gold is ut that time.
Compound Interest Notes-June and Ju-
ly Seven-Thlrties, also received in exchange
for the new go Bonds.
Any further information desired in regard
to the above, Will be cheerfully given by
calling at the bank.

MERCHANT DEALERS.


Com. rs. ArchiJaLd NcGreg0r.-The defen-
dant with D. c. Barnes was indicted at Feb.
Sessions for larceny and burglary In Ju-
ly 1865, the depot of the Northern Central
Railroad at Troy, in this County, was for
cibly entered, the safe in the office blown
open, and express packages, and currency
to the amount of about S14, 900, taken from
the safe. Among the express packages was
one containing $40, 400, in seyen-thirti es,
addressed to the First National Bank of
Iowanda, sent from the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. Notwithstanding the
offering of large reward by the Express
Company, and the endeavors of detectives,
no clue was obtained to the perpetrators of
the robbery, until December last, when
McGregor and Barnes were seen under sus-
picious circumstances, at Laporte, Indiana,
and being arrested and searched, upon the
person of McGregor was found $4,000 in
1905, corresponding in numbers with the
bonds stolen at Troy. The prisoners were
brought to Troy, and after undergoing an
examination were committed to the Jail of
this county.
The Grand Jury having found true bill,
the cause was certified to the Oyer and
Terminer, and came up for trial last week.
The prosecution has been chiefly conduct
ed by the agents of the Adams Express
Company, in connexion with District Attor-
ney DAVIES. The Company was represent
ed by CLARENCE A. SEWARD, of New York.
and Messrs. PARSONS & CARNoCHAN, of
Troy. The prisoners were defended by
Messrs. MERCUB & Morrow, of this county
and by Messrs. PoMERoY and FISK, of Rome
N. Y. Witnesses were present, on behalf
of the prosecution, from Laporte, Indiana,
from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York. On motion of the prison.
er's counsel, they were granted separate
trials, and Archibald McGregor was placed
upon trial.
A jury having been empanelled, clerks
employed in the Treasury were called to
prove the sending of the package of s10,-
500 in 1905 to the First National Bank,
supported by the books of the office-the
notes found upon McGregor were identified
as portion of those sent-and the pack
age was then traced and proven by the diff
ferent agents and messengers through
whose hands it passed, until it was deposi-
ted in the safe at Troy by Mr. Hoffman the
agent there. 1t was also proven that Nc
Gregor, in Company with Barnes, was at
Troy the day before the robbery was COM
mitted. The defense called but two wit
nesses, from Rome, n. Y, who testified as
to the former good character of McGregor,
and to his being in possession of consider
able property, and having purchased Trea.
sury Notes before July, 1866.

THE CLERK TO THE POOR DIREC.
TORS.

If time and practice make a man efficient
in discharging the duties Of his position,
then the present incumbent of the Poor
House clerkship ought TO be most excel
lent officer
Perhaps he is. The Democratic Party
seem to think him SO. They have kept him
in office so long, that it is hard to tell when
he did go in, but it must be ten years ago
anyhow. Aud they not only pay him for
keeping the account and books right, but
pay him again as clerk to the Auditors to
overlook his own work And yet during
his time errors and oversights occurred to
such an extent that the public were eight or
ten thousand dollars out Of pocket, 1t is
time there should be change. Either the
Auditors and Directors do trust every thing
to the clerk, or they don't. If they do they
ought to be sure the clerk is competent. If
they don t they themselves are responsible.
Anyhow the Democratic Party $50 called is
responsible. And the people no doubt will
so regard it and vote accordingly

The Johnson Grant Correspondence

President johnson, having FIRST decided
to displace General Sheridan, is sufficiently
complacent to ask the opinion Of Gen. Grant
as to the eXpedlency Of the change Wheth-
er this was done by reason Of that singular
weakness Of human nature which leads men
20 ask advice after they have irreYocabiy
made up their minds, or whether il arose
from a desire to put plausible statement
on record, will probably never be known lt
Is only ascertaincd that Mr.. johnson, hav-
ing received the earnest rcmOnstrance Of the
General on Saturday, proceeded on the fol-
lowing Monday to c0ntr0vert all his opin
ions, with the air Of a man who had cIpCc-
ted all these objections, and long ago made
up his mind how to answer them This
letter Of the President is not Of 0vcrwhelm-
ing interest The public decided some time
ago that Mr. johnson was not the man to
sacrifice his own little schemes aud aspira-
tions on the shrine Of patriotism, and his
assertions and pT0testatiOus and arguments
have no weight, simply because nobody will
pay the slightest attention to them. Gen.
Grant, by nature reticent and by habit de-
voting his attention first Of all to his own
business, has not yet satiated the curiosity
Of the people. What he has said, there
fore, is of far more importance.
As regards this point, it is annoying to
find the record very incomplete 1t was
already known that he had opposed the re-
moYal of Sheridan what he said about the
change in the cabinet was Of more interest.
The letter unfolding bis views on this sub
iect, the President for reasons best known
TO himself, persists in Withholding. Gen
Grant by his reference to this letter makes
it properly part Of the published cores
TrICgI
plctc without it. 1t cannot be doubted that
the President could have had the injunction
Of privacy removed from this document if
it had suited his interest to demand It, The
inference is that the suppressed letter OF
Gen. Grant is Of a nature far more damag-
ing to the policy of the administration than
anything from him which has been publish
ed We cannot think that the President
would be actuated by any tenderness towards
either Gen. Grant or Mr.. Stanton.
How much ingeniousness was shown by
the President in appointing as the successor
of Sheridan an officer VINO had already ex-
pressed his decided unwillingness to take
the place, and who proves to be too i'll to
accept it under any circumstances, we need
not undertake to decide. In the existing
state Of General Thomas health we cannot
see that his views on reconstruction and his
past record have any great bearing on his
selection as commander Of the fifth military
district 1t is clear, however, that the re-
moyal of Sheridan will be considered, as
Gen Grant intimates, a triumph by the
element OF the South, no
matter who proves to be his successor And
that he will be ultimately replaced by an
officer who has at heart the conscientious
of the work of reconstruction
prescribed by Congress is not yet, we think,
beyond a reasonable doubt
Or the $4,000 registered voters of San
Francisco, II 900 are naturalized citizens.

any revolutionary movements. IF they
should be close, or worse still, go Copper
head, Andrew johnson, encouraged aud
backed by clique Of reckless adventurers,
win be likely not only to attempt to resist
impeachment with force, but to strike a
blow at our liberties and attempt to estab-
lish himself as dictator Much Of our
safety from any danger of this kind depends
upon the frnness and loyalty Of General
Grant, but much more upon our securing
an overwhelming victory at the ballot box.
Let loyal men everywhere remember thi:
and vote accordingly.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

The loyal voters of the Commonwealth
ask no higher tribute to the worth and char
acter Of Judge Williams than the following
neat compliment paid him by the only daily
Democratic paper Of Western Pennsylvania
the day following his nomination It said :
The nomination of the Hon. Henry W
Williams as a candidate for Judge Of the
Supreme Court is a good one. He was the
best man named before the Republican Con
vention, and possesses legal and moral quail
lhcatiOn for the responsible position to
which he has been nominated. Both par
ties have now presented their candidates.
An important duty has been faithfully
discharged by the respective conventions.
The campaign Ray now be conducted lcih-
ont personal dspersiOaS, and decided upon
the principles Of the two great parties.
This Is as it should be. It is an auspicious
sign of the times, and if the county couyen-
tions are equally fortunate in the selection
of legislative candidates, there will be a
stop put to the deplorable corruption at the
seat Of government under a new reign Of
honest men and conscientious legislators. -
ttttsbUr"t I'osf, .J,ae 2Sth, 1867
The iost, in referring to the above, on the
10th of August, was pleased to say:
''We have nothing to take back or mod
ify. Of Judge Williams private or legal
we have nothing but words Of
praise, and however it may suit some pug
naeious and heady politicians, we cannot
bring ourselves to view personal assaults as
either wise or polite.

TIE Gazette re produces our notice OF
the nominations of its party for the various
county offices, and argues thercfrom that
they ought therefore to be elected. We have
no doubt that our recommendation is worth
all that is claimed for it, aud that it will
work wonders with the great unterrifed,
but we now think that it would be better to
give the Republicans a voice in the Boards
of Commissioners and Poor Directors. We
hope this idea will be as fully endorsed and
reproduced by the Gazette Do say to your
