BUFFALO FRAUDS OF $3.50, 900 Bur
FALo, N. Y. Aug. lo.-The community
were startled this afternoon by the pub
lication of an alleged fraud on the Gov
ernment of quarter of million of dor-,
lars by the leading publishing house Of
this city. The matter has been rumoIed
for week past, and strenuous efforts
were made to conceal the facts. It is
alleged that Messrs. Thomas, Howard 3
Johnson, wholesale dealers, publishers
&c, held a contract to furnish printed
blanks, envelopes, &c, to the post office
department, and through collusion with
A. F. Lee, late chief clerk of the post
Office, have obtained receipts for a quar-
ter Of a million of goods never furnished.
Calvin T. S. Thomas and James w. John
son, of Thomas, Howard & Johnson, and
a. f. Lee have been arrested, and held
to bail in the sum of $40, 900 each. A
civil suit has also been commenced.

In speech at Democratic meeting
in New York the other night Fernando
Wood said if unfair means were taken to
defeat the Democratic candidates, or pre-
vent the fair counting of electoral votes
nothing would be left but to take forci-
BILE possession of the Government, and,
it would be done, and Gen. Blair would
drive the miscreants into the Atlantic.
He compared Congress with the Long
Parliment, and said if not interfered
with they would pave the. way for .
dictator as that body had for Cromwell.
There is the gravest reason to fear that
if Grant and Colfax are elected, the rev.
olutionary Democracy will make pre-
text for violent resistance to their inau,
guration as they did to Mr. Lincoln in
1861, but their plans were not ripe,
and were frustrated by the admirable
military arrangements of Gen. Scott,
ON Inauguration day, and by the loyal
element which had been introduced in
to the Cabinet of Buchanan by the
retirement of the rebel secretaries.
But now the military power of the
Nation will be in the hands of trai
tor, as corrupt and treacherous as jeff.
Davis himself. Andrew Johnson is the,
Commander-in-chief of the Army and
NAVY, and may join in any plot cons
cocted by desperadoes, of the Frank
RIa;r stripe. to defeat the will OF the
neonIe by resisting the Inauguration of
Grant and Colfax, and by taking forcible,
nossesion of the Government with the.
arm of military power. How do the,
"seyen'' recreant Republican Senators,
like the responsibility they assume. in,
keeping the traitor in the Executive
Chair. in the face of his clearly proved
guilt?

COLUMBIA, July 6, 1865 Saturday, the
4th of July, was celebrated by the Colorrd
people Of this place, who had glorious
time and al night, about l. o'clock, was
celebrated by about 500 ku-Klux marching
in town in grand style, Notwithstanding
the published order purpOrting 90 come
from the Khan a week before, that they
would remain at home and not modest the
colored people. After parleying awhile
they began tO amuse themselves by dis
turbiur the alumbers of the colOred people
in the western portion % this city. The
colored people, fearing much harm, lef.
their ahodes and retreated 90 the United
States camp. They prOwled around seek
inc whom they could devouT battling
every petson. both black aud white, as
tbev passed about their business. Those
masked gentlemen commenced plundering
and robbing the cofored people generally,
and also applying the lash and rope. This
hand of midnight asssssins were led by
some of the oldest and prominent Ciu-
zens OF the place. The most OF this band
are known Nv the loyal citizens, and If thls
work does not cease retaliation will ensue.
Col. Gilroy, inspector OF this military de
partment nf the United States army, held
a meeting on the 25th day Of June, Of the

. NEW YORK, July 9.-Before the roll
was called for the nineteenth ballot, Mr..
Valiandigham, on behalf of the Ohio dele
cation, withdrew the name of Mr.. Pendle-
ton, and presented TO the convention a
letter from that gentleman authorizing this
step. Mr.. Pendleton added to his great
fame by this unsel6sh act. But his crown
ing glory was in advising the nomination
Of the patriotic Seymour. On the twenty
second ballot Gen. McCOOk, at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Pendleton, nominated HoraiiO
Seymour, and in spite Of the declinatiOn
from the chair, it was insisted upon by Mr..
Vallandigham, who in a neat little speech
excited the widest enthusiasm in favor OF
Seymour. Tennessee when called gave
him her ten votes; Wisconsin followed
with her full vote, and changes then came
thick and fast. New York was the last to
come to Seymour, and he was declared
nominated unanimously amid the greatest
enthusiasm. The scene which followed
that announcement beggars description.
