Tho Lawyers After Parker-Som- of hi? Frandi ?nd Felonies. What ia popularly known as the Gib? son oase was ended on Tuesday last, so far aa the preliminary trial before Judge Willard goes-and this is a great way. The plaintiffs, who were represented hy Messrs. Pope & Haskell, have sustained their CUBO in every particular, and made a terrible exhibit of Parker's unlawful expenditures pf the public moneys for tho lost four years. Messrs. Pope & Haskel], though acting only in tho capa? city of attorneys for private parties, have been of immense service to the peo? ple of the entire State in disemboweling saab of Parker's rascalities as came with? in the purview of their case, and we hope and believe have opened the way for a successful criminal prosecution of some of tho official robbers who have been plundering tho State. Here are some of the facts and QgureB Which are unquestionable. The only thing ia, that, they do not show by milli on a all the money of the people whioh has been, stolen, misappropriated and misapplied in aid of the many speculative sohemes, by whioh the cor? rupt ring have enriched themselves. They do not show all, we say, because from the amount of taxable property in the State, according to assessment, as shown in the Comptroller's report of 1670, say, is round numbers, $184,000, 800, the amounts received from taxes ?hould have been far larger than th ot. 2 acknowledged to have been reoeived by the Treasurer. But they are enough, Heaven knows; aa they stand on Par? ker's showing, to send him and all hit embezzling associates, many times over, to the penitentiary for the reat of theil days, and to greater torments still ic another world, when their days on earth ah all have ended. First; wo will take the amounts al? leged to have been paid out this year foi the legislative expenses of the last session, and for a deficit in the pay men I of those of the previous session. Thc whole appropriation, outrageous thong! it be, when compared to the SiO,00( which was considered ample when th? government was in honest hands amounts only for the last session tc $350,000. The appropriation to mee the deficit ia the payment of last your' appropriations, $280,000. Total amoun appropriated for legislative expenses $580,000. Now, let us see what Treasurer Parke olaims to have paid ont on this account His exhibit Bums np as follows: Paid io cash from Treasury .$586,111 0 Paid borrowed on notes. 399,312 7 Total....$935,423 7 Besides this, he paid on account 0 publio punting, for whioh no approprie tion was made, $113,374.60. This makes in all, paid ont for legislative expenses $1,048,798 00. Parker bas thus paid, e claims to have paid, over and above th lawful appropriations, $448,798. It i thus neon that Parker squandered almoi the entire tax of thia year npon.legisli tive expenses alone, for about one-ba of whioh ?hero was not even an appr< pria tion made. We oome now to bigger things st il and we invite the attention of our Nor tl ern readers and exchanges especially < it, for it gives the most damning proi of the infamous State Government whit Grant's tyranny and Grant's bayone have foisted npon this devoted Stat It has been the ory of Gov. Scott-it hi been the ory of our Ku Klnx mart; across the way-it has been the ory every Radical in the State who has a tempted to explain away or exouoe tl enormous, bonded debt whioh has be< heaped upon the State by the jarpet-bi crow whioh Gran tism has oast among 0 and whioh Grant himself has encourage smiled upon, sympathized with, ai protected with tha army of ..the Unit? States-that onr people have not pa their taxes, and that, on account of tl heavy appropriations mode by the I gislatnre, the receipts of revenue we inadequate to meet the legitimate expe ditnres, and that, therefore, money h to be borrowed on bonds necessarily order to carry on the Governmant. - Far be it from ns to defend or apo! gize for the Legislature. A more c bauohed set of thieving rascals net met than were the large majority of t members of Grant's General Asseml in South Carolina. Their appropriate have been enormous, ranging from i to three times aa much as was ever befe required to support the State Govei ment. But-did they appropriate all t money whioh has been stoleu or squi dered? and waB it necessary, in order meet their appropriations, that money should be raised by issuing millions of bonds? Let os ooo. The figures were compiled by Messrs. Pope & Haskell, after careful scrutiny and examination into the Appropriation Aots and all other necessary reoords, and were undenied and unquestioned. The entire appropriations made at tho session of 18?S-OU amount to $1,138,800. The amount acknowledged as received from taxes amount to $1,291,482.02. This is about $400,000 less than the amount which should have been reoeived, and whiob, we doubt not, was crushed out of our impoverished people, whether it ever got so far os the State Treasury or not. But, as it stands, we see that there is over $150,000 above the appropriations. Bat mark this: In that very year, there was borrowed through Kimpton $819, 714.50, and consequently upwards of $990,000 squandered above the appro? priations. In the years 1869 and 1870 there was appropriated $1,152,329.00. Taxes ac? knowledged to have been received into Treasury $860,974.19. There is a de? ficit hero of $291,355. There was bor? rowed through Kimpton that yeat $971,039.21-making receipts in all $1,832,013.40. The excess paid ont over appropriations amount to $745,008.86. For the year 1870 and 1871 the appro priations were $1,296,564.14. Amount reoeived from taxes $1,306,625.56. There was borrowed through Kimpton th.it year $571,558.48-making the amount unlawfully paid out upwards of $550,000. The whole amonnt unlawfully paid oui for the three years aggregates the gigant? ic sum of $2,298,394.77. This year, up to the 15th of Jane, all the money re oeived has been paid out very nearly OE account of legislative expenses alone, and comparatively nothing bas been paid toward the heavy appropriations, whicL sam up $1,470,100. Will the tax payen not move? The prosecutions should com menee at once. We will have something more to say on this snbjeot^o-morrow. WATTINO FOB DEVEiiOrai??TS.-It ii strange indeed that any one with anj perception at all, who pretends to be oe the people's side in the pending struggle should lag back, or fail to come boldly and squarely up to the scratch, and shov, by unmistakable action that be is really for the people and with the people. Th? issue ia now made up, tho fight fairh opened. It is no common one, either no mere party fight, but a struggle o the better and more honest people, wbi favor the great cardinal principles o justice and equality upon which our Go vernment is based, against the more de prayed and abandoned ones, who favo and uphold nepotism, centralism, pro Boription, porruption and lawlessness The standard-bearers representing tues contestante are in the field, and for. an; man or journal pretending to favor th people's cause to lag back now, to u wai developments, ia very struuge, is ridicu lons and shamefully inconsistent. On would suppose that the lust four years c rule by the party in power, with its op pression, lawlessness and corruption, an with its mountain of debt, bringing n benefit to the country, were sufficient t convince all men that they should not h trusted longer with the reins of Goven ment, and ought' to chrystallizo all oj posed to them into a solid body, whicl burled against the enemy, would eon pletely and forever dethrone bim. -.-??-.-. CURIOUS OMISSIONS.-The Miesoui Democrat calls attention to the omissic in the report of the correspondence b tween Schurz and Greeley of the folio \ ing passage from the letter of the form? to the latter: "As you are undoubtedly aware, yoi opponents in the press charge that ye are in contact with, and under the infii ence of, politicians of doubtful chara ter; that if you are elected Presiden such men would be likely to be appoin ed to influential offices; and that, ther fore, the canse of reform bas nothing hopo from you." And also the following from Greeli to Sobnrz: "I pass over the allusion to my polil cal associates, barely remarking that < imputation so vague can never ba sp oifioally repelled. Charity is a virt rarely exemplified in politics; and mo men live and die in the undoubting oo viotion that their political opponents a the greatest scoundrels unhung. I tru that my age and your experience ba lifted us above such prejudices, euablii OB to realize that the many sincerely ? sire the greatest public good, eren wb most mistaken in their choice- of niear. I know who my friends are better tht my traducers do, and fear no scrutiny to the integrity or patriotism of auy whom I give my confidence. And eh ou any such ever seek to swervo me fro the path of rectitude, they would cen to be regarded by me as friends."

CAMPAIGN NOTES.-Gen. Longstreet sa;a there is no doubt that the State of Louisiana will go against Grant and for Greeley. i \ With cannons, sky-rockets, advertise? ments, and a week's preparation, Chi? cago can't get up an enthusiastic Grant meeting. , <. The Philadelphia Bulletin says-Italics and all-that "President Grant has ac? cepted no gifts since he assumed his high office." We don't think that the Presi? dent's rejection of the Cleveland pup fully justifies ino Bulletin in makiDg such a statement as that. The Detroit Post declares that Grant bought and paid for his Long Branch finttiige. So he did, but ?. T. Stewart says that Tom Murphy and a number of others gave him the money with which to buy and pay for it. The supporters of Gnu. Grant claim a great deal of credit for bis administra? tion, on account of the very inconsidera? ble rcdnotion of tho national debt. The onerous tuxes imposed on the people would have caused the national debt to be greatly more reduced, had it not been for tho extravagance, mismanagement and fraud in tho conduct of national affairs. '.Lot us have peaoe," said Grant in 18G8, accepting the Republican nomina? tion for President. It eleoted him. "There most be no shaking hands across the bloody chasm," says Grant in 1872, speaking through Mr. limit well, "until the chasm is closed np." This will de? feat him. The people want peace-they wanted it four years ago-they want it now-and they mean to have it. Every one of the four delegates fr om Tompkins County, New York, to the last Republican State Convention, has 'gone over to Greeley. The Detroit Free Press observes that the Grant papers are beginning to begin their articles thus: "lu the event ol Greeley's election." The Illinois campaign was opened Monday in the rousing mass meeting held at Chicago. Tho principal speech WUK made by Hon. Gustavus Koerucr, the joint candidate for Governor of tin State, and even the imperfect abstract sent over the wires, proves it to have beeu one of the most effective and elo< quent in theoampaign. With Trumbull, Koorner and Palmer heartily for the Liberal ticket, backed by the bar mo ni ons anion of Democrats and Liberals ii tho State, Illinois oannot but give an en thusiaBtio majority for Horace Greeley ii November. THE NEW PBESIDENT OP MEXICO.-Thi new President of Mexico is Lerdo cb Tejada, who has been, any time thesi last ten years, intriguing for the place to which he now peaceably succeeds He had been for a long time Minister o Foreign Relations in the Cabinet of Jua rez. Last year he became a candidate for the Presidency, and took the posi tion of Chief Justice of the Su preen Court, the holder of which succeeds ti the Presidency on the death or abseuc from any cause of tho Chief Magistrate Ho entered into a coalition with tho op position, and several revolutionary at tempts, which he did not discoante nance, were mude during the year in hi favor. Tho new Constitutional Presi dont is, therefore, ia sympathy wit! armed conspirators against the Con?titu tiou. Consequently it can hardly b that the change will be acceptable to tb country. NOT USING MONEY, OU! No.-Tho fol lowing is an extract from a letter of correspondent of the Now York Borah. who is writing np tho campaign in Nort Carolina. It is no less significant thu amusing: In the Fifth District Hon. Thoma Settle, the Republican candidate fe Congress, and who was Chairman of tb Philadelphia Convention, tho other da] on the stump, indignantly denied tb oharge that money was being freely use by his party. An hour later he wt tapped in a confidential manner on'th shoulder by an individual, who sait "Judge, I know about a dozen voter near here who will go for the other *aitl? but they can be got." "How can the be got?" asked Settle. "Well, it wi take money; you know the kind of pei pie they are here." "How mnch will take?" said Settle. "I don't know, bi not muon," was the answer. "Hore, said Settle, taking a roll of greenbacl from his pocket, "here is sixty dollar Is that enough?" "Yes, that is plenty, "If yon want moro you can have it, said Settle. "This will do, this will g thom," said tho individual, and away 1 went. Not ten minute" afterwards Sett saw this individual on the speaker stand displaying tho greenbacks to tl guzo of the cro-d, and relating with i emull degreo of delight theciraumstanc under whioh ho had obtained them, ac adding, jocosely, that tho Rep?blica! were not using any money in tho car paign, "obi no." Ho invited all h Conservative friends to a grogger whore Jndge Settle's money waa free expendod in whiskey for his opponent! Mrs. Lincoln and Mr. Robert Lineo are expeoted in Paris, where it is sa Mrs. Lincoln intends to reside. FBIEND SELBY: ID your article of the 23d Joly, under the caption of "Parker and tho Bond-holders," I think you have made a'alight mistake iu ono particular. The reader ia informed that those "velvet oushioued divans, the cut glass ink-stonda and pon-bolderB, China spit? toons, $5,C00 clocks," &c., have been purchased "with that filthy lucre." Now, although that "great benefactor," General Dennis, did make the aforesaid purchase, and, I believe, in good faith, with full intent to pay, tho unfortunate merchants in New York, who trusted to his representations and faith of tho State, have never received the first farthing for their property, which was sold at a fair price, and if their bills were increased in amount while in the bauds of nuy of tho ring, it surely was no fault of theirs. They aro uow left to regret that Gov. Scott was refused the lion's share of th? "steal," iu consequence of which, and other frauds, tho whole appropriation bill was vetoed by him, which mndo a good thing for the owners of a "mill," called the South Carolina Banking and Trust Company. In brief, those mer chuuts have benn swindled, und lied to for about two years. Their chances for pay is about a9 remote us tho holders of the Kimpton-Wiliurd fraudulent bonds are for interest or principal. There is not the ghost of a chance for either, until the rascals aro brought into court, aud made to answer, disgorge, flee the country, or go to prison. There would bo less difficulty iu convicting the plun? derers who hare dono thu work here than there was in settling the unconsti? tutionality of thu Blue Ridge scrip iu Columbia. Yours, truly, STEAM. NEW YORK, July 29, 1372. A TOUCHING OBITUARY.-It is, we hope, with the emotions proper to so solemn a duty, that we annouuee to our readers the sudden demise of tho Bing? hamton roorback. The alllictivo dispen? sation-to borrow a phrase from our reverend friends of the clergy-will carry mourning into half the orgau offices in tho land. The deceased was a root hack of unusual promise; tho New York Evening Post and Times, in particular, had tho very highest hopes of it. They assured us over and over again that it would infallibly kill Mr, Greeley us dead us a door-nail. He had buen convicted of corresponding on the sly with Horatio Seymour, through the bucolic Carmi? chael, about thu Democratic nomination for tho Presidency. He had committed himself iu black aud white for payiug pensions to the rebel soldiers. Young Mr. Carpenter had made his affidavit to it, and he haw the letters. Of course, no candidate could survive such au expo? sure as this. Thus the Times and Even? ing Post, passim. About this time, they ure probably pondering with added ap? preciation a familiar stanza of Dr. Gold? smith, tho first two'lines of which it wtuuld bu rude to qnb'e, but which doses by announcing that "Tho mau reoovered from tho bito, Tliodug it was that died." Mr. Greeley still lives; the roorback, aiua! is no more. The poor thing hud been troubled with a huskiness ever since Mr. Carmichael told the Herald reporter -.several responsible gentlemen who bad read the correspondence corroborating his statement-that Mr. Greeley's letters didn't contain a syllable about the pen? sioning of rebel soldiers, but merely ex? pressed the opinion that the Democrats ought to have nominated Chase in 'CS, aud informed Mr. Greeloy's correspond? ent that Mr. Greeley-the sly old fox that he is!-couldn't, as yet, "see his way clear" to the end of 1872. But tho immediate cause of death was a card from the same young Mr. Carpenter, who swore to having seeu a letter iu Mr. Greeley's baud writing advocating the payment of pensions to disabled rebel soldiers. This curd closed as follows: Several gentlemen residing in Unadil la, of unquestioned integrity, who have seen all of Carmichael's letters from Greeley, inform nie that no such letter was written by Mr. Greeley ; therefore, I conclude, I may bu mistuken, aud that my impression of the purport of the let? ters was obtained from Carmichael per? sonally, in stating what he had written to Mr. Greeley, or intended to writo. At the time of Carmichael's visit to the Herald office, I did not regard the matter be was working up as possible, and gave him but little attention. I make this statement thinking I may be mistaken, aud hope for a publie production of the whole correspondence between Car? michael and Greeley, until which time I rettact the statement made in my affi? davit! "Hero's a rum start," as Sam. Weller somewhere remarks. Truly this is a walo, and truly the New York Times and Evening Post aro the unluckiest and un? happiest of all the pilgrims that sojourn in it. At such a time, words of consola? tion are a mockery. Let us unite in silent weeping.-Springfield Republican. SUDDEN DEATH.-We regret to learn that Mrs. Mary Moonoy, wife of Mr. V. A. Mooney, of this place, died vory sud? denly on Monday last. She appeared to bo in her usual health on that day, und made a visit to one of her neighbors, with the family of whom ?ho wus con? versing, when she was seized with a con? vulsion, and expired iu two or three hours after, remaining perfectly uncon? scious from the first moment of the at? tack. Mrs. Mooney was held iu very high esteem by thoso who knew her, and her unexpected death has sent a pang of grief into tho hearts of many of our peo? ple.- Greenville Mountaineer. A bolt of lightning, in Appleton City, Missouri, unhinged a door, carried it across the bed of a sleeping couple, aud deposited it over tho eradlo where a littlo child was lying, without injuring uny one. THE VJ.OTJ.M8 OF NEGRO MALIGNITY. We visited the residence of Mrs. Orson Barber and Mrs. J. B. Cohen, yesterday afternoon, to inquire after their condi? tion. We fonnd Mrs. Ward sittiug up, surrounded by friends, and were politely invited to enter. The unfortunate lady was wounded in four places. Both hands and ber head were bandaged; she also received a shot in the left breast, inflicting a painful wound. TbeBe were all small shot, and were picked out. Her hands are very mach swollen und ex? tremely sore, rendering their use impos? sible fur the present. The wouad iu the bead is slight. We were informed by Mrs. Ward that she was standing iu the doorway, und Mrs. Cohen, her husband and sister were seated upon the bench on tho portico, as wau also her little daughter, aged about twelve yearn, when the devilish miscreants fired upon them. The shots were fired from the big onk tiee on the North-west corner of Ander? son und Bull streets, diagonally across from her lionne, a distance of probubly thirty yards. They were so shocked by the unexpected shower of shot, thut they wore unable to notice in what direction the villains retreated. Mrs. Cohen and ber husband and sister were struck ab Jut the face and shoulders, but only slightly wounded. Mrs. Ward and her little daughter were the worse injured of tho party. The latter was struck io the fnco and right shoulder and arm. We were ehowu into the room where the poor little child lay, suffering with a high fever, pro dueed by the wounds. She was utterly unable to move her arm, on account of its stillness and soreness. The shot, fortunately, did not eater the flesh to auy great exteut, nod were easily ex? tracted. They ure all doing very well, uod it is to be hoped may soon recover, although the coaditioa of the little girl, owing to the setting in of fever, is serious. We examined the door and front of the house, and found the place riddled with shot. From one of the door posts two large slugs had been cut, which were buried to the depth of an iuch or more. Mrs. Ward was leaning against this post when the assassins fired, und the bulls struck within a few inches of her head. The escape from instant death was remarkable. Notwith? standing the pain and distress caused by this foul deed, Mrs. Ward seemed cheer? ful, and is ia hopes thut the perpetra? tors will be apprehended and made to sutler, ia which hope it ia scarcely necessary tu say the entiro respectable portion of the community join. ^Savannah News. SINGULAR RELIGIOUS CEREMONIAL. At Echternach, in Luxem berg, every Whit Tuesday a singular religions cere? monial talion place, consisting of a pro? cession of some thousands of invalids and their friends, who make a pilgrim? age to the abrine of St. Wihibrod, iu the hupe of obtaining relief from their afflic? tions. This year, the procession num? bered about 9,000, mostly invalids. The others joined iu the ceremonies in behalf of relatives too ill to make the pilgrim? age themselves. About twenty villages were represented, and tho procession en? tered the town about 9 o'clock in the ii ire noon. First came the priests, head? ed by banners, with several handred mea ia blouses, chaating. Than fol? lowed the great body of the pilgrims, four or five abreast, either holdiag bauds or holding on to handkerchiefs, sticks and umbrellas, to preserve their liues. But the most carious feature of this ceremony consisted in the peouliar manuer iu which the multitude ad? vanced. Instead of marching ia the ordinary way, they moved with a kind of polka Btep, fo^ir forward and three back. This was sometimes modified by tho necessity of graining gronnd or murkiug time. lu effecting the lust named movement, they danced slowly, occasionally turning themselves round, when the olTect was something like that of a Scotch reel. The procession was interspersed with bands of the most motley description, but all played the same air of fuur bars, incessantly re? peated. The whole woe brought up by a dense crowd, half cbantiag, half re? peating a short prayer in German. The pilgrims proceeded through the town to the church, where they ascended a steep flight of steps, and, entering the build? ing, passed round the shrine of the saint and into the street agaia, keeping np the duueing step all the while. This pro oossiou haB taken place every year, ex? cept for a short period daring whioh it was suppressed, since tho death of St. Willibrod, who, according to local tra-, ditiou, was an Irishman, and the first preacher of Christianity in the Eifel and its neighborhood. Tho thief who was arrested for rob? bing Parsons' store in this town, was found to have a quantity of Ayer's Hair Vigor in his possession. When asked why he wished to steal that artiole, he answered that he "wanted, to restore his hair, for it was hard to be a thief aud bald too." If that invention of the great chemist could restore a faded character as effectually as it does their natural beauty to bald and grey heads, it would surely bo, as they say it now is, truly in vnluuble.-Lewiston (Me.)
