SIMON CAMERON, who misrepresents
the State of Pennsylvania, in tho
= :. Senate, is notoriously one
Of the most corrupt of all the corrupt
dsmagogues who have been stealing
from the public treasury, on one pre-
text or another, ever since the election
of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. His steslings
were So extensive aRd so apparent dur
iug the brief period he was in the Cabi-
NET of the "late lsmented," that the
Isading men of his own party,
corrupt rs they are, insisted upon
turning him out. Aud he was
turned out accordingly. This notorious
public robber, having subsequently
bought his way back TO the Capitol, is
now laying his plans for another burg
larious demonstration upon the Treas
ury. To that end he is causing letters
10 be published, recommending that
that wrctched creature EDWIN NJ. STAN
foH be made Secretary of the Treas
urv in case President Johnson is de-
posed, and Mr.. MCCULLOUGH goes after
him. STANTON is as big a robber as CAM
gRox, and when two such unblushing
knayes put their heads together. with
old Ben WADE to help, the people had
better look out for pickpOckets!

From the Pittsburgh Evening Advocate
The Trne Position.

The working men of the United States
are more deeply interested in just and
wise settlement Of the financial ques-
tions of the day thau IN any other po-
questions involve all the rights and ia
litical issues before the country. These
terests of labor, which is now, as it al
ways has been, the chief bearer of the
burdens of the Government. In view
Of this great fact, in connection with
our vast national debt, and our present
wrongly constituted monetary system,
We hold that the present debt of the
country, having been contracted in pur-
suauce of law, shall be discharged to
the utmost farthing and that the ma
uOnal honor shall remain as unsullied
as it has ever been in all respects.
We hold, also, that the present ma
t!Onal debt having been contracted in o
paper currency issued by the Govern
ment. aud which was declared to be
lawful money by the legislative au-
thOrity of the country, acceptable by
the Government for the larger part of
rs assessments, and payable to our SOL
disrs for their services in the field, the
said paper money, being "a legal ten
der for all debts public and private"
shoald be, as by its terms it is, receiv-
able in satisfaction by those holding
the pledged faith of the Government in
all cases except wherein q different
standard of value has been expressly
stipulated; that the vast bulk Of the
Indebtedness of the country, known as
.e-twenties, are lawfully payable in
legal tender notes of the Government,
and should be so paid, as the said obil-
cations are within the power of the
Government to relieve and discharge /;
and wherein the faith of the Govern
ment is pledged to pay in gold, We will
So fulfill, and beyond this we will not
go.
We hold, also, that the present sys-
tenn of National Banks can and should
be abolished at once, and the notes OF
the said institutions returned, and their
place filed By bearing
notes Of the Government, thus saving
annually to The people twenty millions
Of dollars.
And, in regard to taxation. We hold
that all the wealth of the country,
whether invested in Government securi-
Ties er otherwise, should sustain its full
and fair share Of taxation, that the
burdens of the Government may rest
ALIKE up9n all who share its protection.
We want no privileged classes exempt
from taxation under our republican
system.

These who still dream of a divided
empire within the limits of the United
States-if there be such dreamers-
shonld enroll themselves in the Radical
party. Radicalism is building up at
the South, not reconstructed States for
this Union, but new nation, not only
different from, but an tagOnistic 10, the
real American people. BY its persecu-
tious of the whites, it is infusing hatred
of the North into Southern blood-in-
fusing it, as it we're, into the pulse Of
their hearts and the marrow of their
bones By its aespotic military rule,
and its eleemosynary system, it is root
iug ont all feelings of self-respect and
independence from the breasts of large
classes of the population, and pre-
pairing them for yielding with
ont resistance, to any external
pressure that may be brought to bear
on them. But, above all, by force Of it
registration and ddiSfrauchiSementl laws,
and its system of mixed conventions,
mixed legislatures, mixed schools-in
word, by its efforts at the eintermingling
and consolidating of the two races, 1t is
shaping a new political and social or
ganization, W hich, if oOnsummated, will
have more in common with Mexico than
with us, and be an alien nation within
our national boundaries. 1t were a Gu
rious consideration, if the war itself, the
conquest of the South and the destruc-
ton of slavery, should through the per-
yersity of the Radical party turn out
TO DO successive stages in the evolution
OF new nation, and the substantial
fulfllmeut of the secession scheme.

Anew Orleans merchant, who eni-
grated from France ten years ago, re-
turned to that country few weeks
since to settle the estate of his deceased,
father. On his arrival in France he was
arrested as deserter and sentenced TO
six days Imprisonment, having been
during his absence drawn in the con-
scription. As the naturali Zation laws
did not release him from his allegiance,
he was claimed to have bsen . citi-
zen ut the time when his military
service should have commenced. The
case illustrates the necessity for some
general rule Of expatriation and nstur-
alization.

The beautiful murderess, Baroness

The beautiful murderess, Baroness
Ebergenyi, now in Jail in Vienna, was
recently caught brbing one of the keep
ers to take letter from her to her rela-
tives. For this attempt to violate the
prison rules, she was sentenced to for
ty-eight hours in the dark cell, on bread
and water. Up to thas time she had al
ways maintained the most surprising
self-possession, but when she was taken
to the dark cell, and saw the straw on
which she was to lie for two days, she
burst into violent fit of weeping and
sobbing, and then, getting desperate,
she resisted the jailors, who final y, at
ter tearing her whole dress, hurled her
headlopg into the cell. Only five
months since, she was still admitted to
the most aristocratic circles, and gen.
orally admired for her beauty and grace.

FrI-htfal Tragedy Ia ArEausas.

A fishing party in the vicinity of Ten Mile
Bayou were recently enjoying themselves,
when young man named Clarence Van
Collins, son Of Mr.. Tom Collins, rode up to
the party, accompanied by friend Collins
was armed with a shotgun, and addressing
Mr.. George Bethel, one of the party, asked
II he was prepared to settle an account he
had against him for some hay which he had
sold to his father, Mr.. P, c. Bethel. The
young man replied that that was not a
proper time to present such an account.
Some angry words passed between the
parties, and Bethel, who displayed much
Soolness and bravery, advanced upon Col
nns but without making any demonstrations
as II be Intended to shoot his antagonist.
meanwhile Collins had raised his gun to his
shoulder and told Bethel that he would shoot
him, when Bethel replied that he was too
great coward to shoot The words were
hardly out Of his mouth when Collins pulled
the trigger and fired, and the entire con-
tents lodged in Bethel's breast, and he fell
to the ground. A second after ward, as poor
Bethel lay PROSTATE, he fired the second
shot the charge entering Bethelis head as
he lay welteriug in his blood. It is stated
that Collins rode down to Hopefeld on the
same train with the body, and from his
actions be apDesred to imagine that he had
acted entirely in self defense. No arrest
