Mons MAcHlNsRr.-Six boxes Of heavy
Woolsn Machinery arrived at Shields Dav-
export Woolsn Mills yesterday, from the
cslsbrated Woolen Machinery mandatory
Of Ferbush L Gage, Philadelphia. and will
soon be in operation. The fact of the mat
ter 10, that with al his additions to his
buildings, Shields has been unable to sup
ply the popular demand for his superior
goods. Though turning out four hundred
and twenty five yards per day, he is utter
ly unable to keep up with the orders that
are constantly coming in. While other
mills have been lying idle, he has been run.
ming right up to full time with thirteen
looms, and still gets no heavy stock ahead
The reason 10 that he makes goods that the
people want, and after once trying them,
they want them bad and will have them
More room and more machinery 10 in con.
slant demand. There 10 nothing like enter
prise. and Joseph Shields is the man for
that emergency.

The New York CONVENTION is the first
instance within our knowledge where body
of roughs has been sent to the place OF meet
ing openly and ayowedly in the interest Of
some one candidate, and intending to carry
influence for him, by muscular intimidation.
The Pcndleton escort from Cincinnati can
have no other purpose than this, which is,
indeed, openly expressed by the friends OF
Mr.. T. who say they are going to New York
to ''see him through, to prevent any foul
play against his interests &c, &c. In 1860,
the famous Keystone Club of Philadelphia,
went to Charleston, but if it went in behalf
of any one asplrant the fact was not openly
stated. In this case, the Convention meets
under the watch of Mr.. Pendleton's roughs
and strikers, and can only protect itself by
providing an equal amount of muscle TO con
test the field with them.

The siNnABlTANrs' Of Delaware, accord

Gratis may or may not vote, according as the
State, (that is the Democracy OF Dover,)
shall deem hest. Ii is not alleged that the
ballot is withheld from the colored people,
on account Of their race, OF of their com
pleXion. What the reason is, the resolutions
do not state, but they lay down the broad
law that to vote is a privilege, not a right,
and that it may be bestowed on the people,
or not bestowed just as those in power shall
''see fit
This is bold, dangerous, aristocracy. Ii

THE FRIENDS of Mr.. James Armstrong, of
White Clay Creek, are displeased because of
the means used to defeat him for tie Sher-
iifalty He had the whole of the county,
outside of Wilmington, but was beaten by
the city influence. We are not surprised
that his friends are dissatisfied.
But the Richardson men think hard OF the
TRIBUNE for telling the truth about it.
and informing the public Of the movements
of their colored canvasser, Mr.. Leary. We
don't think that reasonable. They engaged
Ned; we didn't. He had his lager from
them; not us. He went for Richardson
we so for Lew Armstrong, of Christians
Hundred. Ned is a Democrat-of the Bay
ard stripe; we are Democrat of the Jefler
son school. If Mr.. Richardson secure
Neds great influence and has him hard a
work all Saturday afternoons in the hotties
kind of weather, and thus gets seven hun
dred plurality in Wilmington, why shout
not the TRIBUNE praise him for thus en-
dorsing the idea that colored citizens ar
entitled to participate in elections?
The TRIBUNE is newspaper. WI
have our opinions, to be sure, and expires
them, but surely Mr.. Richardson's friend
do not expect us to favor them by suppress
sing important items Of public interest?

WASHINGTON, June ~.
The House Committee on frauds in the
Pay Department, in the course of their in
vestigations have discovered some startling
frauds in the payment Of hountics in the
Second Auditors Office, which implicate
clerks in that Office and in the Office of the
Adjutant General principally in the payment
Of colorcd soldiers. BY the bounty laws
eolored soldiers who were slaves were al
lowed one hundred dollars bounty, and free
colored men three hundred dollars, and in
adjudcaling the accounts, the latter amount
was paid in Il very large number oi cases.
where only one hundred dollars was due, he
difference being divided between the clerks
and a certain ring of claim agents.
Upon the facts being made known to Sec
rotary McCulloch, he to-day issued an order
suspending payments of bountics to colored
men, and all the papers and records in the ca
SEES were placed in q room of the Department
and the key was turned over 10 the Chair
man of the Investigating Committee. Sec
rotary Schoiield took similar action to-day,
and the Committee will now proceed to a

Mr.. SECRETARY McCuLLocu, one of the
Cabinet of Mr.. johnson, is one of the steady
friends of the President and his "policy,"
and not less rcsolute opponent of the Re
publican party and Grant and Colfax We
certainly have no admiration for him. His
policy of CONSTRUCTION, which Congress so
properly stopped, Immediately on assem-
bling; his policy of transferring our bonds
abroad instead of keeping them at home /;
his skillful exchange of currency bearing no
interest, into gold-interest bonds; his careful
protection of the thieves who have grown
fat upon the Treasury, under this corrupt
Administration all led us long ago, to re-
pudiate Mr.. McCulloch. But Mr.. johnson
hold on to him, and the Democratic party
holds on to both. Notwithstanding his
shortcomings they keep him in the Treasury
Department. 1t is evident that they do this,
with clear knowledge, if not guilty com.
plicity. One of their chief organs, the
National Intelligencer, has endorsed every
word of Mr.. Rollins recent charges against
MIR. McCulloch. 1t accuses him of "specu
lating in bonds and ''of specializing il
gold, of 'scotton stealing" through his or
ganizatlon of hosts Of thieves, with whom
he overrun and desolated the South, and a
responsible for the wholesale robberies 0
the Whisky Rings by controlling the re
movals and appointments of officers Of til
Revenue Bureau.
Why then does Mr.. Johnson keep such al
officer in place. Ii is not alone Republi
cans who charge him with unitness, but
newspaper Of his own politics. Does ii no
show the utter corruption Of the presen
Administration, and q the party support
