LETTER FROM B. F. WADE.
CINCINNATI, June "a letter from B. F.
Wade is published this morning, in which he
says that, en- reflection, he put the case too
strongly, in replying, as he did, to the recent
communications that he would not accept Il re-
publican nomination for governor, if it were
offered him. "When | remember" he says,
Chow firmly and generously the great republican
party of Ohio stood by me for eighteen years,
during the most turbulent and perilous period
of our history, should the republican conven-
ton consider it essential to its success to order
me again into the field, could not disobey their
mandate without base ingratitude, if not dere-
LECTION of principle" He then simply alludes to
the course of the democratic party, indicating its
unfitness to control public affairs, and says he
cannot doubt that the convention will be able to
find many more efficient standard bearers than
himself, and such was his most sincere hope and
desire

DEFICIT IN THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT.
f. A. Mccartney, superintendent and diSburs-
ing officer of the post office department, in bad
health for the past year, has been sent to the
insane asylum. A deficit has been discovered
in his account to the amount of between $780,
900 and $4,000.
Postmaster General Creswel was first inform
ed of this state of affairs on Friday last, and
Immediately began an investigation of the mat
ter, and, although he has not yet aScertained the
exact amount due the government it is thought
that the deficit will not vary much from 100000.
Mccartney, on being Intercepted by the post
master general, acknowledged the deficit, saying
that it was caused by blending public and pri-
vate business, and by speculations in water
power and marble quarry at and above Harper S
Ferry. Mccartney told the postmaster general
that he did not know the precise amount
he had invested in these enterprises, but
assigned it, whatever it may be, with
his other effects, to the suretes on his bonds.
In the department of justice, which is investi-
eating the subject, it Is the opinion that the
government will not lose a cent. Mccartney is
a man of education and culture, good writer
and successfully filed editorial positions on the
Morning Chronicle, the National Intelligencer
and the Washington Express

BALTIMORE, June 9.-In the international
typographical union, this morning, motion to
expunge the resolution passed by the Albany
convention, in reference to the attempt TO force
upon the Columbia union Douglass, an avowed
"rat," &c., caused an exciting discussion, the
sentiment of the majority being evidently in
favor of laying the matter on the table. The
president finally decided that motion to ex-
punge could not be entertained, and the matter
was finally compromised by the adoption OF a
resolution that the Albany convention did not
intend to censure the Washington union by the
resolution passed in reference TO Douglass.

The Athol Chronicle says: "The old adage,
listeners never hear any good of themselves is
illustrated by the experience of citizen of this
town, who paused on his way home, the other
night, just in season to hear Il young lady tell
her beau that his pa was IAN old fool for re-
fusing to let him marry this year. He was
| also shocked, on listening further, to find that
the lady was talking to his eldest born. The
young man will go to school while longer
until his pa changes his present designs for his
temporal welfare"
