The Alleged Treasury Frauds.

entirely yaXned 'tGtf g5agfsr ara Denial il Sf ST
Mr.. Dunbal's allegations touching the
Treasury frauds. It says:
awe have not seen any special evidence
of dishonesty, but the careIessness with
which the whole business vas conducted
during the war, was patent to all intelligent
observers, When the bank note compsn-
les here were printing the greenbacks, a
package covering large amount, and com
pletely finished save the addition of the lit
tie red stamp, was missed at the Depart
ment. The company here declared that
they had forwarded the bills as stated
The officials at Washington insisted thai
the delivery was short
The difference was lars efortune. The
method OF transmission was for the COM
pany to send their sealed packages to the
Sub-Treasury here, where they were pack,
ed in handsome leather mail bags, duly
locked and forwarded by the mail to
Washington. The empty bags were then
returned for fresh supply. The very in
telligent young man who superintended
the work Of packing for the printers here.
on being informed of the deficiency, pro-
ceeded to the office of the Assistant Treas
urer, and asked 10 see the returned bags.
They were pointed out in pile on the
floor taking them by the handles one af.
ter another, he soon shook out the missing
packages which had made the journey back
fiom Washington in an open bag without
even the protection of tow string at the
mouth A part of this history passed un-
der the personal observation of the writer
hereof, and we do not believe, in view of
such manifest carelessness in the Depart
ment, that all of the millions issued at
Washington will balance to cent. even il
there had never been single act of fraud

THE TRUTH CONFESSED.
A Deathbed Confession.

Thaddeus Stevens, being on his death
bed, has just confessed truth which
should alarm the fears and arouse the at
tention of the people everywhere. In
letter to his friend, Samuel Schock, dated
Lancaster, Pa, August %, 1861, he dis
tinctly declares that the whole legislation
of Congress, in the matter of "reconstruc-
tion," was contrary to, and outside of the
Constitution of the United States, and that
the Radical majority in both Houses of
Congress knew that they were acting total
ly without constitutional authority
Speaking of the refusal of the Senate to
concur with the House in bill introduced
by himself, prohibiting the removal by
himselfprohibiting the removal of the Dis
trict Commanders without the consent of
the Senate, Dir. Stevens says: 'Some of
the members of the Senate seemed to doubt
their power under the Constitution, which
Aey had just repudiated, and whoily out
side of Which all agreed that we are acting,
else our whole aoork of reconstruction aoas
usurpation !" This is a bold and bald
avowal that the Radical party of the coun-
trv, acting through their Representatives
in Congress, has knowingly and by con-
sent. overthrown the fundamental law of
the nation, usurped unlimited power, and
ever since the war ceased, been pursuing
corus entirely despotic and revolutions
ry. The Conservative press have asserted
aud re-asserted this fact during the last
five years, but without awaking the people
to a conviction of It's truth: But will
they not open their eyes and behold how
fearfully their liberties have been and are
yet being violated, now that the leader of
the Radical party IN Congress, speaking
as dying man, and in presence OF the
terrible Judgment to which he is hurrying,
plainly and explicitly confesses his trea-
son?
Not content with acknowledging simply,
that he and his confedcrates in crime,
have deliberately treated the National
Constitution, which they were all sworn
to defend and preserve as if it were dead
thing, he declares finally, in the very last
lines of his letter, that "legislation ,oithont
authority and reconstruction by usurpation,
is very alarming-is worse than Copper
headism." This confession, Mr.. Stevens,
may be good for your SOUL The country
thank you for having made clean breast
! of it even at this late hour.

convention acted wisely in keeping Tiffa-
ny for position where an election would
depend upon majority vote, and not up
on the mere matter of nomination, as in
this case. In the nomination of Henry
Roberts they will secure for this Office q
good man, who though aged and feeble,
we sincerely hope may outlive the term Of
the Office to which he will be chosen.
DR.. J. w. Rhoads was placed in nomi-
nation for Coroner and Daniel A. Bard
well for County Auditor. They can pay
for tickets, too. sys ..#
Towards the close of the convention,
when the ratsbane had died out, the mem
bers who before had frothed and roared
like lions, were as quiet and harmless as
sucking lambs. Everything was lovely
and the web-footed aquatic hung high.
Whitney was on hand to represent the
'wearers OF the blue in the late struggle for
social and political equality, but failed to
get a recognition of his eminent fitness for
Legislator. OF course his friends will
have an opportunity to testify their ap-
preciation of his virtues, for he is the man
that proposes to run any way.
Mace, though he threatened to kick
out of the traces if whipped, made square
stand-up fght-was whipped-took the
mat ter gracefully and will have the next
two years in which to:peck his flint for an
other trial.
Jakey, this time, paid for his dinner &c.
beforehand, in anticipation Of hasty de-
parture. At the close of the convention
he left, vowing vengeance on the Tenn
plars, to whom he. attributed his defeat.
In crossing the canal, which he did on a
timber raft, to save a short walk
around by tho bridge, he pitched head
long into the canal. He foated up like a
dead horse, and finally succeeded in get
ting on the other side of Jordon. This
strange mishap to the elder is attributed
by some to the fact that he had indul ged
to freely in the &c." kept at the tenn
perance hotels in town. Others think he
must have inhaled too much of the breath
of the delegates. The more general opin-
ion is, that he hastily concluded to aban'
don politics and in returning to the min
istry thought baptism saving ordinance
Certain it is that though thoroughly disgust
ed with the temperance men he take:
kindly to cold water. We entreat him tc
give his god-forsaken, corrupt party the
benefit of his prayers. Ifhe cannot give
them any more of those $500 supplica-
tions, in which he INDUCED last winter, b
can at least put up some cheap petition
for the ungratefnl wTetches.

BILE Story
New Brunswick: n. J. Aug. %

New Brunswick; N. j., Aug. 29.-This
afternoon Mr.. Herbert, the District At
torney, called upn Bridget, at the Jail, to
bid her good-by. She said that she had
no feeling against him whatever that he
had done what he thought was his duty
and then added. You must let Mary
Gilroy 60" Mr. Herbert assured her that
he would do what was his duty in the
case. Bridget replied that Mary Gilroy
was "entirely innocent" Ia answer to a
question from Mr.. Herbert, if Mary did
not know that something was going on,
she said that Mary did not know any

the people Of Newmarket, and upon being
asked why Mary Gilroy should say TO
her room mate, Della Coyne, that "Bridg.
ct must be numbering Mrs. Coriel," an.
swercd that it must have come from her
ugly temper. Mr.. Herbert then asked
her if Mary Giiroy WIS not there that
night, and Bridget replied, "Not at THAT
time" She further stated that she did
not know Mary Gilroy until she came to
Newmarket, and that the story of the po-
licemau Dennitt en- the trial, about seeing
her in New York with Mary Gilroy, was
not true. During this conversation she
remarked that she would do her best to
save Mary Gilroy.

Qsm advertisements,
SIGNIFICANT.

The new system Of Advertising adopted by
Geo. P. Rowell 4 Co., Advertising Agents,
No. 40 Park Row, New York, is attracting
good deal of attention.
The following extract from speech delv-
cred before the N. Y. State Editorial Cunven.
ton, (lately bolden at Penn Yam, ,)by prom
inent Advertising Agent of n. Y. city, goes
to show that he at least acknowledges its
advantages.
From. jamestown, N. Y. Journal Of Aug 2nd
Edited by G. E. BISHOP, Chairman Of
Committee on ADVERTISING AGENCIES.
"Mr. Pet:ingill spoke in opposition to that
plan frotr the publishers stand point alone.
He showed the publishers that by this system
of cont acting they were giving lower rates
than they gave their own home customers or
Others equally as prompt and good customers;
that they were selling one portion OF their
paper 10 be used to compete with and under>
bid the other columns; that the owner of the
space thus sold could come right in and beat
the publishers prices and take his business
away from him that If the publishers, iuPy
understanding this, still wish to continue
so irregular and business like a system hu
(Pettinglll & Co. should of course cease try
ing to get advertising for the papers at their
regular rates and go into the other system ot
contracting which he could stand if the
printers could"
The anxiety on the account, of newspapers
is uncaIled for. There is not one in twenty
which would not prefer to receive all their
foreign patronage on this plan, when it is
fully understood. 1t is too generally recog-
nized as thoroughly beneficial to oil parties
concerned to be injured in the least BY any
thing which may be said against it by inter
ested parties.
Advertisers should send for circular giv>
ing full explanations.

"New and Enlightened Views"

The editor Of the Radical organ for this
county, in reyiving that paper, said il had
been established to promugate" among US
new and enlightened views &c." We pro-
pounded to him the following question
Are we correct Mr. EJitor in the supposition, that
your new and enlightened views "embrace the doc
trine Of the PoLIrIeAL AND Social EQUALITY Of the
Micro and the WHITE RACES
In bis last issue he copies the above ques
tion and very frankly answers:
"Yot ARE CORRECT"
He follows this by saying that zoe are not
equal to anything His opinion of US, as an
individual, is Of no consequence. Only as it
affords us qualification that a man who
promulgates the doctrines that he does, places
US in opposition TO himself and his social
equals.
Are the people of Wyoming Comfy pre-
pared to endorse this new doctrine or the
man who promulgates it2 Let them answer

TAxArIoN.-Some shrewd writer, who
had evidently studied the subject thorough
ly thus discourses upon our system of tax
alton.
'Now you see in the first place they get
the amount of feller's business. That is
taxed. Then they find out how much, he
earns every month, and that's taxed. Then
they find out all about his profits, and that
they tax. Then they manage to get some
tax on what he owes. Next comes what
they call income. and that's taxed. Then
if any thing is left, the preacher calls round
and gets it to sustain the church and con-
vert the brethern.

BRIDG ET's CONFESSION.

In regard TO Bridget's confession, her
statements made from time to time to the
jailor, and bv him detailed to Mr.. Her
bert, the District Attorney, are substantial
ly as follows:
Bridget denies that her motives IN COM
mitting the murder was robbery, but says
in effect that she wished to attain a place
in the household that she could not reach
while Mrs. Coriel lived; and to succeed
in hsr wishes, she determined TO remove
her. With the purpose fixed in her mind,
she heard that the Doctor was going away
that night, and would not return until
morning. In the evening she got the
butcher-knife and placed it i'll convenient
spot on the table, and then sat down to
talk with Mrs. Coriel, who changed her
clean dress she had had on during the
day, and threw herself on to the lounge
After conversing for awhile, Mrs. Coriel
fell asleep. Bridget then got up and seiz-
ed the small chair and hit her over the
head. Hrs. Coriel jumped up from the
lounge, took up large chair to defend
herself and struck at Bridget breaking
piece off the top of the chair, which was
afterwards found; Bridget then grasped
the knife and rushed upon her; Mrs.
Coriel run to the door to escape, and sue
ceeded in getting outside, but Bridget
caught her and drew her back, and as she
came into the room she saw her little
child, and STOPPING and kissing it cried
out, "Oh, my poor baby!'' In the strug-
gle the knife had been drawn through her
hand, and when Bridget forced her through
the stting-roo door she seized hold of
the jamb, and also the knob, leaving the
bloody marks of her hands, which were
noticed the following day. Bridget then
succeeded in forcing her into the bedroom,
and there stabbed her with a knife and
beat her with chair until she supposed
she was dead She then poured the con-
tents fthe lamp over Mrs. Coriel and the
bed, and set fire to the latter, using as
torch baby's calico frock wrapped up in
baper. She then went and changed her
clothln, and the baby's up stairs, and tip
ped over and rummaged the bureau, to
lead the neighbors to believe that robbie.
ry bad been committed. Coming down
into the sittlug-room, she heard Mrs. Co
riel raise the bed room window and open
the shutters, and running round outside of
the house, saw her standing in front of the
window. She dashed her back into the
burning building, closed the blind,and left
with the child. The knife she sccreted in
the clubhouse iu the morning.

DON'T Like the Dutch.

The York Tribune is fearful OF the
Pennsylvania Dutch this year. Just hear
it:
The New York Tribune is fearful of the
result of the Ohio election. II is quite sure
of the Western Reserve portion of that
State, because It was settled by the superi-
or countrymen of Mr.. Greeley, from New
England. But there are other counties
peopled from Virginia, Maryland and
Kentucky, which it distrusts. But most
of all the Tribune fears another class of
counties, for a reason to which we call the
especial attention of our readers; because
they were settled years ago by school
hating, rum-loving breed Of Pennsylvania
Dutch" fearful of amalgamation, aud can't
abide Negro Equality
Thi. is no forgcry-we copy it from the
Tribune of Thursday, August 10. 1t
equals in expressive contempt of Pennsyl-
vanians anything that purported to have
been said by Salem paper, and which
was disclaimed as spurious. Such Is the
light in which our citizens are viewed by
the insolent sons of New England, who
esteem it condescention to come into
Pennsylvania and be made Congressman,
Judges, Legislators, &c. &c, by our ''school
hating, rum. loving breed of Dutch. Ii
Pennsylvania continue to vote for these
proud, arrogant adventures, by whom
they are thus rudely caiumniated, they
will deserve the contempt OF the world !;
and especially when they have better men
among themselves to fill their Offices
Pittsburg Post.
So look out for the P pennsylvania Dutch
as Greeley calls them, on election day, as
they will send such an emphatic NAY J
over the wires against Negro Equality,
and the Negro Equality candidates, as will
astound old Horace himself, who muffs de-
feat in Pennsylvania and Ohio already.

Other items, such as paper weights,
corkscrews. cords, erasers, leather busters,
chamois skins, folders, pen wipers, blank
books, inkstands, eyelet machines, pam
phlet cases, copy books, paper files, pen
racks, stationery cases, gold pens, dies, key
rings, match cases, fluid, silk taste, card
cases, memorandum books, combs, cologne,
soap, pomade, toilet powder, lemons are
scattered through the book, in quantities
sufficient to supply all their friends or set
up variety stores in the country. In the
House the rule allows each member so
much for stationery, to be paid in station
cry or money, as be chooses, but stalione
ry is furnished in addition for all Commit
tees, and the practice is for members to
supply themselves from that furnished to
Committees and then take the allowance.
This is a fair specimen of the manner in
which ihe people are robbed by Radical
Congress. Every Congressman who has
twelve children of course wants twelve
penknives, and pens and pencils in like
proportion. The items enumerated would
excite lively sense of the ludicrous did
they not provoke feeling Of disgust and
indignation.
