WHEN the New York banking house of
Jay Cooke Il Co. failed, it dragged down
with ii the First National Bank of Wash
ington, of which Henry d. Cooke, broth
eli of Jay Cooke, was President, and in
which eX-President johnson had deposit
of $4,000. This sum represented the
honest earnings of a man who never took
any presents when in office, and whose sal
aTy had never been doubled.
1t is high tribute to the official integ-
rity Of Andrew johnson that no living man
has ever assa.led it. He left office with
clean hands and what he had in Cookies
bank was his own, honestly and fairly
earned, and placed there i'll good faith.
Last week the Receiver of the Bank de-
clared dividend of 30 per cent, and Mr.
Johnson received on his deposit $22, 00O
1t is stated that hereafter an additional
dividend Of 20 per cent. will be declared.
This last will be final, and will pay Mr.
johnson and the rest of the creditors just
one. half Of their honest claims. The other
half has been stolen 10y Henry D. Cooke
and those associated with him.
This swindler, Henry d. Cooke, was
Governor of the District of Columbia, or,
as it is called, the Territory OF Washing
ton, and was appointed to that Office by
his special friend, I. S. Grant Some time
last summer, Cooke resigned, and received
from Grant the usual certificate of good
character, which was published all over
the country. His pluudered creditors can
now console themselves with knowledge
of the fact That the man who swindled and
robbed them enjoyed the unlimited conf
dence of and was fully endorsed by so pure
and great man as Ulysses S. Grant.

THOMAS p. FENLoN, Esq, formerly of
this place, and well known in Cambria
county, was elected to the Kansas LegisIa-
ture, on the 4th instant, by the Demo
cratic party, in one of the legislative dis
tricts of Leavenworth. Mr.. Fenlou has
heretofore filed the same position with
distinguished ability and credit. In that
State, the Radicals have a majority in the
Senate by reason of large number OF the
present members holding over, but at the
recent election the Farmers party and the
Democrats elected enough members to the
lower House to give them a majority on
joint ballot. This result disposos of the
Kansas Ring, headed by those Christian
statesmen, Samuel c. Pomeroy, Alexander
Caldwell and Sydney Clark, and insures,
at least we hope SO, the election of an hon
est man to the United States Senate as
CaldwelIs successor, who resigned his
seat last winter in order to escape the igno-
miny and disgrace Of expulsion.

came back and commenced a suit against
Kinney for damages, alleging that Green's
wife had homestead fled on the land at
PescaGcroo, and that she did not sign the
deed. On coming back he went on to her
land and took peaccable possession of it
eight OF ten days ago, and is living on it.
Last Friday evening Kinney hired num-

"A correspondent Of the \. \. Tribune

is the large increase in the number Of

give him considerable more trouble in fur

ADDRESS OF THE STATE CENTENNIAL
COMMITTEE.-TO the Members Of tie CouR-
ty Centennial Committees and tie Public :
Although it has been deemed best to relax
the efforts of the Committee for time
owing to the financial troubles, it is hoped
that the impression may not be created
that the programme as heretofore set
forth is not to be followed up to a success
full result. The State, exclusive of the
city of Philadelphia, will be looked to for
not less than 500, G00 and so soon as
business prospects brighten, the efforts
heretofore employed to that end will be
resumed with all the increa ed energy that
tie circumstances may demand. Mean
while, it is expected that County Com
mittees viii adopt all preliminary steps to
follow up the work.
The honor ard dignity of the nation, in
the judgment of this Committee, are Sc
riously involved in this noble enterprise
Through the acts of Congress, and the
proclamation of the President, the inten-
tion on the part O: the United States to
have n grand Exhibition in Fairmount
Park in 1876, of an International charac-
ter, has not only been presented to our
own citizens, but to those of all other civ
iliZed nations, and through the State De-
partment at Washington foreign govern
ments have been invited to participate. 1t
is apparent, therefore, that nothing short
of carrying out this intention in manner
befitting a great nation will save the peo-
pie of the United States and their gov
eminent from great humiliation, and the
character of our country from reproach.
Pennsylvania, honored by being select
ed for the location of this great undertake
ing, will never suffer herself to he re-
preached for not cOnSummating what she
has begun as to the memorial building for
he rs nf he T'Nli -
stake before us, the Committee are conf
dent no thoughtful citizen, whether in
public or private life, will fail to do his
part in this noble work.
