THE Herald correspondent at St Louis,
telegraphs under date of Jan. i8, that, at
is more than probable that the government
has at last succeeded in securing several
long coveted letters which it was known
bad passed from Babcock to Joyce and
which we're deemed sufficiently strong TO
convict Babcock. 1t is believed shat Joyce
has become eXasperateG at the severity
with which he has been treated by his old
c0Hfreres at Washington, and is now will
ling to furnish testimony against BabcoclS.
IT Is in fact asserted that he will surrender
certain letters from Rabcock io him into
the hands Of the dist rict attorney to be
used on the tria, against tho Piesident' S

six miles from Shamokin, North

-Ab0utsix miles from Shamokin, North
cumberland county, one evening last week,
seven thieves entered the residence OF Mrs
Billman, widow, while she was at the
barn milking. While the depredations
were IN progress n son-in-law of the lady
named Henninger approached her house
He was warned off by a sentinel, who fiI ed
at linn as he retreatcd to his own house
Hennlnger ran up stairs, secured n gun
and fired three shots at the robbers, who
had congregated on the outside, killing one
of them, Philip Hughes, Of Shamol1in
Another OF the robbers, with whom they
fled, WAS wounded. They were tracked
for several miles to a ravine, where a large
quantity of blood on the ground showed
that they had halted with their wounded
comrade. 1t is supposed that the fellow
has since died. Martin Farrell, one Of the
alleged robbers, was arrested near Potts
vile. One OF the evidences of his guilt
were his bloody boots. Mrs. Billman was
robbed of about 50, 100, none Of which has
been recovered

Mr. GEORGE riley, Of Westmorc-
land county. is bound to be heard on
the financial situation He puts it
thus:
Tie TecpIe cf tie United States have it
in their power to remove the financial EN-
bar assmcut which now oppreSses aud af-
iljcts them, immediately. The enactment
Of a law by Congress, and its approval by
the President, authorizing and requirin (
the Secretary of the Treasury to notify the
holders Of the bonds Of The United States
that interest on them would cease to be
paid providing for their payment in ma
tional money the redemption Of this mon
ev with gold at the Iaje Of five per cent.
each year, aUd 1t, destruction as fast as re-
deemed, would give us instant relief; and
as soon as this money would be utilized. all
our productive industries would be started
into prosperous activity; the idlcness, the
distress, the poverty, the misery aud much
of the crime which pervadcs the country
would be speedily dissipated. and the oppor-
tunity would be once more afforded to our
idle laboring people and mechanics to OBJ
tain, by honest industry, the comforts OF
life in the abundant prOfusion which has
made our country so attractive to the peo.
pie of all nations. The bankers of oul
country in 1870 numbered 10, OCO. and the
owners of our national bonds not any more
The remainder of our population was 30,
$50, 600. If the adoption Of this measure
wonld result iniuIiousiy to the bankers amc
boudhOlders, and beneticially to the balance
of the people, it is warranted, in view %
the recognized duty of governments to cnac
such laws as viii confer the greatest goo,
on the greatest number. II is, however
demonstrated by the facts and reasoning
preceding, that bankers and boudholdeu
are more deeply interested in the immedi
! ate adoption of it than any other portion
of our people.

GARsTELD got a terrible backset
when he began to howl about the
Democratic House removing Union
soldiers. A member took occasion to
show him that out of one hundred and
fifty-three subordinate positions in the
last House only eighteen were filed by
Union soldiers, while ont of feighty-fye
subordinate positions in the present
House twenty six are filed 10y Union
soldiers. Garfield, it is said, immedi-
ately dropped the consideration of Tue
subject and passed on to the consider
alton of something else Nor was it
any wonder that he did so, since the
record showed that the Radicals gave
a Union soldier one Office ont of every
nine, while the Democrats gave him
one ont of every three This rather
takes the wind oat Of the Radical
howlers about Democrats prescribing
Union sollitrs.

WE publish below " hat the I.aneas-
ter In,Ctityence5' las to say in reference
to a joint resolution offered in the
House of ke eprescnt,,tives a: Harrisburg
Tor the purchase OF puu,on's Digest toI
the use OF the members The Iatt ~
gencer is mistaken in its belief that a
similar resolution Was adopted at the

H.Tee Thousand copies OF Smu!l's Legls-
lJtiye Hand Book--a robbery OF the
treasury which we look for the Schuyl-
Hill statesman to repeat during the
present session. The Legislature has
not the shadow Of right 10 puI chase
and 4uHp'y its members with either CT
the two books referred to, or with any
other books When the yirtuous sam
JuScphs retired from the House, after
having heen Il mem Der in continuous

gest," unless he had sold .AeIn, which
he doubtless did, being one Of those
thrifty legislators who always looked

has got to 90 is to step into y book

Oh his constituents. When this Joint
resolution is acted on we trust that
some mcmberwill have courage enough
tu call The yeas and nd7JS, SO that the
tax PAYERS may know who are for re-
treuchment and reform in legislative
expenses and who are against them
But here is what the I1!eliigcncer says:
We find that n joint resolution for the pnr-
chase of Purdun's Digest for the use of :ht
member has been reported favorahly IN the
HOus" OF Representatives at Harrisburg If
recuicvt Alright a similar resolution was

expense Of the state, and if voted new ones
y III Ls obliged either to sell them ri a dis
count or present them To constituents. At
best lie anuua! PuriUn resolution is 4 fraud
upon the taxpayers. Members have no
more right TO purchase law books mt the pub
