The Harrisburg Telegraph says: In 1869
a colored man residing in this city borrowed
from loan and savings association $500,
giving judgement for $1,000 as security
He paid on the loan up to June 1875, $78S-
OF. In September, 1875, he being unable to
make any more payments, the association is
sued f. .ta. to collect Sal 90, the balance
alledged to be due on the loan of $500. A
petition was presented to the court to open
hejudgement and let the defendant into
defense. The reasons for the application
were, that he had not received the credits he
should have received; that the association
does not come within the provisions of the
act of 1859, which contemplates the acquis-
ton of real estate, and not the loaning of
money. The case was argued few days
since, and this morning at the meeting of
court Jud ge Pearson opened the judgement,
and the case will now be tried before jury

Bg- An investigation into the Emma
Mine swindle, which is going on at Washing
ton, is stirring up most annoying uneasi-
ness among those suspected of completely in
it. 1t appears to be more annoying to them
than the itch, and requires an unusual
amount of scratching to set things right.
FIX Senator Stewart, of California, Minister
Schenck, Prof Silliman and others are sub
jects Of damaging testimony, and are anxious
to be heard in reply OF the swindle there
can be no doubt, and we hope the probe will
be used 50 vigorously as to effectually expose
all scoundrels. whether occupying high or
low positions, connected with it.

At meeting of the Presbyterian congre-
CATION, of Stroudsburg, February 10th, the
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted
WHEREAS, At the request four esteemed
pastor, Rev. ". III. Dinsmore, his pastoral
relations with this church are about being
dissolved.
WHEREAS, At such time as this it is
eminently fit and proper that this congrega-
ton should give some expression to those
sentiments of respect, esteem and love which
we all entertain towards one who has labored
so faithfully in our midst, and whose labors
under the blessing of God have been so
abundantly successful; therefore
Resolced, That in the proposed severance
of the tie that has so happily united pastor
and people for the last six years, we recog-
nize the loss to this church and congregation
of most faithful, Jealous and devoted minis
ter to the cause of Christ in this community;
of one who has ever been most active pro-
moter of every christian enterprise, and to
our society in general of one who in his own
pety and purity Of christian character, has
been "a living epistle, known and read OF all
men,.
Resolred, That we hereby tender to our
beloved pastor and his family the assurance
of our heartiest esteem and sincerest affec-
tiOns. and we commend them to the people
among whom their future lot is to be cast,
with our warmest prayers for their future
prosperity, happiness and usefulness, and
that we may all meet at last in that blissful
abode where partiugs never come.
ReSolved, That copy of these resolutions
be entered on the church minutes, and pub
lished in both the town papers.

MORE TROUBLE IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.
PoTTSVILLE, Pa, Feb 29.-John Cochin,
treasurer of Mahanoy township: Patrick
Dolphin, president of the School Board, and
five others of the same township, were to-
day arrested and placed under bail, charged
with Irregularities in Office The special
Board of Auditors, which was appointed to
investigate the affairs of Mahanoy township,
in their report, state they discovered a num-
Der of orders to have been raised from nine
to ninety dollars, and others for smaller
amounts had been changed; that orders were
also rejected for work claimed to have been
done, which were, on their face fraudulent,
the dates being April 81, and September 8 =,
of last year. For maintaining roads they
found 500 had before been considered
ample, but in 1872 they cost S270 per mile {;
in 1873, $4OO per mile, and in 1874, 5000
The report further states that taxes had been
collected which were never turned over to the
township treasurer, and in conclusion find
the supervisors, township clerks and auditors
were illiterate and unfit to hold positions of
trust.

The Democratic papers are as dumb as
oysters concerning the testimony drawn
out on the cross-examination of Governor
Tilden during the Tweed trial in New York
last week. lie was examined by Field for
the defense, to show that his relations with
Tweed precluded the idea that he believed
the Boss to be corrupt, and to test his for
getfulness of certain political schemes in
which Tweed and himself were associated.
In the outset the Governor insisted that he
had never known the Boss intimately at all
and then he began to forget everything
that leaned toward jogging his memory.
At length Field asked him if he had ever
written to Tweed His answer was, "No,
never" Then Field handed him a letter
addressed to Tweed, and signed by Tilden.
and asked him to identify it. Tilden did
so. 1t was letter telling Tweed when
the Democratic National Executive Com
mlttee met. He was closely questioned as
to other letters, and denied he wrote any.
and denied, also, that Tweed ever gave any
considerable sum to help the party while
he (llldcn) was at the head af the Demo
cratic State Central Committee but Field
produced two more letters, written in 1866
and 1868, also check for So, 900, indorsed
by IIlden, which the Governor was com
PEELED to acknowledge having appropriated
for the benefit Of the Democratic party.
Letters OF this sort in the Babcock trial
would have been fatal to the accused

Our columns this week are sadly darkened
by shadow falling from an exposition of
the lamentable folly, not to say rascality, of
one whom the good men of the nation have
hitherto delighted to honor. We refer to
Gen. VIM. W. Beknap, until few days
ago Secretary of War, and one of the most
honored Of President Grants Cabinet 1t is
sad to see any man fall, but when one oc-
cupying so high position of honor aud trust
turns out to be the criminal, it becomes doub-
ly lamentable, because socially, intellectually
and by education fitted to adorn, his repre-
hensibe conduct but adds to the disgrace
and criminality Of his act In the tented
field Gen. Belknap served his country faith
fully and well. Among his fellows he was
noted for his honesty, his ability and his
many good qualities as neighbor, friend
and citizen. In the war office, where the
very soul of honor should have prompted and
guarded his every act and deed, he fell a
victim to tawdry display and buried all
beneath the culprits arrangement, trial and
condemnation to a culpirts fate Even his
political enemies mourn the lot which he has
marked out for himself, and joined regrets
with his friends over the disgrace which his
conduct has brought upon his country But
while all regret, all join in the demand that
punishment for the crime, in just proportion
to its status, shall be meeted out to the
criminal. There is a moral in this astound
ing fall of a once honored officer, but as it
paints itself so plainly for the view of all
beholders that we have no need to pursue it
farther. Our earnest hope is that in further
investigation some redeeming feature may
yet be found that will take from the fallen
Secretarys crime at least portion Of its
great enormity.
