Mr.. LEFFLER's explanation of his
milage record, at the Court House
Wednesday evening, was practically
that offered for him by Chas. Mason;
that the route by way Of the Mississ-
ippi and Ohio rivers, was the "usual-
ly travelled route" for which he was
entitled to receive mileage, and that
he received it without question. In
short, that Letters mileage, if excess
I've, was legal. Now, when it is Of
fered in justification of Gov. Kirk
wood for taking his pay as Senator
from the time of Harlan's resignation,
that it was according to law and pre-
cedennt, our Democratic friends ut
once say he still should have refused
to take 1t. Apply this rule to LETTER,
and according to his own friends he
Is guilty Of dishonesty. There was a
route of which he might have reach
ed Washington by travelling 81
miles. Instead of that, he took the
1900 mile route, and the mileage at
40 cents mile. He was justified by
law, says Chas. Mason, but the Dem
ocratic newspapers say that law is no
justification tor Kirkwood. Why
should it be then for LETTER?

THE Democrats in Pennsylvania,
like the party i'll Iowa, show by the
character oftheirnomnations how lit
tie they have changed since the war.
Judge Pershing, the candidate for
Governor, in the very crisis Of the
war voted for Il resolution denounc-
ing President Lincoln as arbitrary and
unjustifable in issuing the tmancipa-
ton proclamation; he voted against,
and did every thing in his powcrto oh
struct the passage Of a law to enable
Pennsylvania soldiers to vote in the

of the amendment of the constitu-

I. L. SmOOt Il Sons, and offered for sale six
hides and nine lamb skins. The hides were
Salted and trimmed and Mr.. Markell, the
foreman, seeing that they came from some
regular butchers, questioned the negro very
closely but he gave such straight answers
and had the appearance of being himself a
butcher, Mr.. NJ, finally bought them. and
paid him some thirty odd dollars therefor
The man then started Off saving that he
would drive over TO Washington from whence
he said he bad come. Some half hour after
wards the police received a telegram from
Washington stating that the hides were
stOlen. Lieutenant Smith Immediately
started after the wagon, but the man had
mace good use OF his start and gotten ont of
the way.
