TaTxemany Democracy. The injunction of the New York City government by Judge Barnard, forbidding it to pay any more claims until there is a reconstruction of certain departments, says the Gsiette,) is the weightiest judical intervention ever made in this country. It has brought to terms a bet of robbers Who supposed themselves secure by their control of ao ignorant mass of voters, and by the supineness of the -great business community. They supposed that tho pub Ito ear had become bo wonted to the par tisao charge of peculation fend public plunder that it could not injure them in such a city as New York, - But they have been attacked and routed by the press. which has been compelled to fall in and support the gallant charge made by the Times. The Tammany ring is broken Bd its members have turned against each other. The power for further plunder is stopped, and the Controller has been forced to appoint a deputy, named by others, and Co put all the books and papers of his of See in bis bands Tor an investigation. So much for the power of the public journals when .properly directed. If the newspaper press were controlled bj bonest, Indepen dent men; if a Bet of pubUo oSoers engag ed in the plunder of the publio could not almost always command the service of journals to break the force of exposure, and assail the motives of those that made it, official peculation and robbery would be iinpossibfe. iThre. Tammany excitement la New York chows no siens of abating. Controller Connolly replies to Hay or Halt .that the appointment of Mr. Green as deputy does not yacate the. ofSce of Controller, and in this 'opinion he is sustained by 'Mr. O'Conor, the well known lawyer. Qen McClellan declines to accept Mayor Hall's appointment as Controller. The Demo cratic State Central Committee seem de termined to overthrow the power of Tam many Hall,' a resolution they have been forced to take by the rural Democracy, Our Bonds in Europe. A l.-tter was reoeived at the Treasury Department froui Geo, Spianer.:.ia rtvhioh be states that America credit in Europe stands very high. Referring to the ease withwhfch the French loan' was disposed of, and tke difficnUy'euf Government tad in selling the 5 per cents, he says 'the foraer realized but seventy. six cents on the dollar, while our bonds, ware negotiated dollar for dollar.

. 9enslbl& tlailroad Reflections, j Why should I vere for the enbeoripton to xlm ReS!, and by thus Joitrg vote 812 50 oat of my pocVet for every lfhousand I am worth?- I wh oever sell tnj produce on the roact; it i too far off; do not know that I wjll ever want to ride on it. But I am in Tavoj of publio improvements; helped build the Pike; can haul toy grain to niarkerat any 'season, and get a great deal more for my- land than I gave for the Pike. Although I "do not axpset any dividend., I think my Pike investment was one -of the best 1 ever made. But if lean ee bow I atn to get my money back, 1 would hot mind to help by voting for the Railroad, as none of as shoald. be selttshl ' ' The "pay part" is what we all look at. After the completion of the road the capitalists who invest their mooej expect the road to pay dividends of at least (i per cent., which .ou the. S 100,000 would yield to thia County $0,000" per annum. The

thirty miles of road should7 be -taxed at $300,001 and yield 82,000 County revenue, besides State, School, lload and Township revenues.. Yo.ur. quarter section is worth now $5 000; so is mine.' "At the next appraisement yours will probably be valued no higher. I expect mine will be put at 86,000 at iea&-TJl,tKH) more than yours, if-the road is built. Now as the percentage is governed by the amoant of taxablea, and the increased value along the route will be at least twenty per cent.-, the amount taxed on each dollar will be less. The estimated increase of values (say $1,000,000,) would add one-eighth more to the duplicate and decrease the percentage eight cents on the $100. The amount received for dividends ($0,000) and the County tax on road (2,000) would be equal to ten cents on the $100, making in all a deduction of 18 cents on the $100 from your taxes. You pay $12,50 per thousand; you are released of $1,80 per thousand each year after the road is completed. In seven years you save what you paid; and as you- look good for twenty years more, you make money in the long run, to eay nothing of the benefit to your heirs. Well, that is a better showing than I thought could be ma do. Figures won't lie; I see the whole tbing, and will vote for the road. I loae nothing in the long run, and belp build up the interest of Old Franklin. Heavy Defalcation. Superintendent Norton, of the Money Order Department Post-offioe in New York City has confessed that he is a defaulter to the amount of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, and he and his wife have voluntarily surrendered all their property at Plainfield, New Jersey, consisting of a farm' several valuable horses, Ac, estimated in all to be worth one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. This property was plaaed in the hands of one General Jones, bondsman in trust for the remainder, and steps have been taken to sell it, and turn the proceeds over to the General's bondsmen, to insure them from loss. Horace Greeley, Samuel S Sinclair, Sheridan Shook, and Abram Waltman, are the bondsmen. The Government will not suffer by the defalcation. It has been ascertained that Norton drew funds from the Sub-treasury, and deposited them with a broker for use on the street ia speculations. The money order account waa entirely within his control, and there was no check upon his operations. The I., C. & Ij. Suit. The Cincinnati papers have tho peti ticn in fall of M. K.

The Fendletottian Theory. A auDMN Of TRR GRKNACK REFCDtATIOM 8CHCMK. In his apeeeb at Cincinnati on Saturday nighty Senator Mecton disposed of Mr. Pendleton and his greenback repudiation speech, in the following pungent Btyh: Now, my friends, I shall refer tonigbt to some questions that are being disoussed id the canvass of Ohio, and I may refer to what Mr. Pendleton has Baid more particularly. He is a gentleman tf high character; be is a gentleman of ability. It is true he is a sort of amateur politician, but I think he represents the Democratic party of Ohio more fully than any man who has been making speeches recently; and not out f any personal feel, ing toward him, but beoaase of that view, I shall refer to some things be bas been saying. 1'ou remember that in 1867 Mr. Pendleton btought forward what he called his celebrated greenback theory, that the national bank notes should be retired and greenbacks put in their places; that greenbacks should be issued in immense quantities to pay off the national debt, and

greenbaeks become the permanent currency of tho country an irredeemable currency and that gold and silver should be dispensed with, and no longer be regarded as the measure of value. It is tiue that when Mr. Pendleton enunciated this theory it involved him in great contradictions. In 1862, when greenbacks were a necessity for carrying on the government, and we could not prosecute the war without them, makiog them our legal tenders, Mr. Pendleton was opposed to their issue, and pronounced them unconstitutional. - After the war was over, and when thev were no looser a necessity. Mr. Pen dleton came to the conclusion that they were about the only thing that was constitutional. Now, this idea of making irredeemable paper money a permanent currency, dis pensing with gold and silver as a measure of value, and inflating the currenoy ao that everybody could have an abundance of it, was not new with Mr. Pendleton It was invented by one John Law, about one hundred years ago, and resulted in what was called the great South Sea bubble, and general bankruptcy and ruin. It was a theory rejected and spurned long ago, and bas ignominiously failed everywhere it has been tried; but Mr. Pendleton dug it up from the grave of history and presented it to the New York Convention of 1S6S, but the stench waa too strong for the party. More recently Gen. Kwiog, with the nasal indifference of an undertaker, has embraced the putrescent oorpse of this theory and presented it to the people of Ohio, and called it a new departure; hut Mr. Gresbeck and others, you know, have generally held their noses in great disgust. Laughter. This theory 1 need not argue to-night. I think it is, indeed, generally abandoned. I obsarve'that Mr. Peudteton, in his late speech, has not said a word about it. hen he abandoned it, General Ewinj has taken it up. All I shall say in re gard to the theory of dispensing with taxation, making money plenty, inflating the ourrenoy, and making flush times, is the answer that I will read you from the speech of Hon. W. S. Groesbock, tho other day "On this subject I adhere to the histor ical doctrine of the Democratic party. It is souad as the true dollar. The utmost fixedness that can be obtained, is the in dispensable quality for a right standard of value. What derangement would happen to all business done upon the yard-stick if it fluctuated in length, from month to month or from season to season. And so of businoss done with the pound or the bushel or gallon measurement if they had no fixedness. As the yard-stick the pound weight and the bushel measure are tor all business done with them, so should the standard value be for all trans actions in wnicn u is usea. i no green back and the true dollar are now almost abreast. Let us hope for abundant reasons, that the former may be able to main tain its position. Now, Mr. Pendleton, in his speech at Delaware, the other day, commenting up on tne great scarcity ot currency 1 think he still believes that the currency should be still more inflated used the following language: "It is an appalling fact that there is not enough currency by $150,000,000 to pay the taxes, if the people were required to pay tbem all in one day. Well now, that is a tremendous thought and it is also an appalling Uot that it the people were required to eat in one day all I hey now eat m the course ot a year they would inevitably burst. Roars of laugh, ten Mr. Pendleton made a speech at Loveland, not a great while ago, and the genUral idea evolved frotu it may be stated thus: That if the Democratic party were placed in power they would relieve the country from taxation, they would pay the national debt without costing auybody anything; that they would furnish cheap goods by removing the tariff, and make flush times by infiating the currency and the issuing of irredeemable paper money. Now I want to say that all these things are political nostrums, that have been tried and rejected in different ages and countries, and if we were now to accept tuem,it would be rejecting the dictates of oouiuioa sense and the lessons of bistorv. Loud applause J i)lr. fendJetou said m his speech that while coming from Europe he read on the sea I am a little afraid from his language that he waa sailing on the South Sea bubbles, he read Senator Sherman'sspeeoh, in which he described things lovely, prosper ous and progressive at the North, and that then he read my speech, in whioh I doscrbed murder, rapine and violence at the South, and that made him unhappybut when he came here he found both of us wrong. He found general commercial ruin in the North, heard everywhere here the crash of business bouses, saw the wrecks of private fortunes and ruin every where, all the result of tho present administrationwhile in tho South be found eviytbing lovely, peaceable and serene. Nqw, I think the honorable gentleman must have a singular obliquity of vision to Bee peace where there is no peace, and ruin where there is orosperity and pro gress. fApnlause.!

Going to the XUsitiox

Snow HiLt, Fbanklin Ootntt, Ind.,) 5PT. tD, 1871. ) Mr. JEair(W,--irhete being a Grand Exposition in the city of Cincinnati, a youth f forty summers, school teiK&et by pro fession, living at this place, desirous of eeeing the great sights, and thinking that it was not mete that be should be alone, aiustered up courage and proposed to a young lady of the same place te aeeeeapanybim to the city and see the thousand and one things to be see at the Great Exposition. - The youth being of moral character -and prepossessing - wsys, the young lady of course accepted the invitation. Now the youth having bad no experience in escorting young ladies, be was like the hoy who drew the elephant at the lottery; be did not know whatto do. They living Beveral miles from the depot; the tbing uppermost in the youth's mind was to get there in time' for the train. Consequently very ' aarly one " Wednesday morning there wits an usual rattling of akillets.'pots and gridirons at the old yellow brick house, as the cook waa hurrying up cakes. Breakfast being over, and the youth of an economical tura of mind, halted between twb opisons, not knowing whether, to take father's two' horse omnibus or watch his chance and walk to the depot. However,' -ha chose the latter, leaving the young lady to get to the depot as best she could. Through the kindness of her youngest brother she arrived indue time for the train. The happy couple were aoon aboard, fljing'toward the city at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The lonely walk through the bracing morning air and the switt ride to the city had worked hugely upon the generosity of the youth of forty summers. After a minute calculations he found that one item alone (that of refreshments) had drawn from his pile of stamps the im mense sum of fifteen cents one glass of soda for the lady, and two for himself. How the couple enjoyed the sights, and how the young lady got from the depot to her pa's house, deponent sayeth not, as this was the youth's first attempt to make a tour with a young lady. Charitable people should look over the manner in which he escorted the young lady to the depot, hoping that hereafter he may be more liberal with his stamps, especially to the livery stable mao. Mr. Editor, I think that when the youth arrives at the age of maturity say sijtty at seventy be will be more discreet Owing to the extreme youthfulnetis of the gentleman, you had better keep this story a profound secret; if you are good at keeping secrete you may become the confidant n . V . of A Native. Governor Morton at Dayton. Dayton, O., Sept. 18. There was a tremendous outpouring of the people to-night, at the Court House, to hear Senator Morton. He began byreferring to the faet that he had addressed the people of Dayton fifteen years ago, when the question' of slavery and its encroachments was being discussed warmly throughout the land. Since then it had been whipped out by the madness of the' slaveholders, lbe benator began lire as a Democrat, was brought up one, but he bad an aversion to Btavery from a child and when the Democracy, at the behest ot their ooutnern masters, demanded new and stronger guarantees for slavery, he left them, and connected himself with the party of liberty and progress. Had the South tempered their demand with moder ation, slavery would have probably disp graced the couutfy to-day. Senator Morton then entered into discussion of the questions of the hour, reviewing the tariff, finances, and the Ku Klux bill, incidentally touching on the multitude of topics which are agitating the publio miud. His views on the tariff for revenue, with incidental protection to interests which demanded it, and threw the balance of trade in our favor, as agai nst foreign countries, met with hesrty con currence; and the fact that our currency was infinitely superior to the ante-war State bauks and wildcat currency, per fectly secured, and nearly on pir with gold, equally good in every nook and cor ner of the land without exchange, was so clearly put, and so manifest to all, that the statement was greeted with loud ap plause. The Senator's review of Pendleton's greenback theory, recently renewed on bight by Gen. Kwiog, made the matter so absurd as to call forth general derision. The arraignment of the Democratic Party and its leaders for their position during the rebellion was most forcible, and their unfitness for having control of the Gov ernment was shown by their actions ever sinoe. He said the Democratic Party bad outlived its usefulness, and should be cut off by the statute of limitation.The ample Court House steps and the wide sidewalks for many rods were jam med with attentive listeners for over two hours and a half,. and the streets were thronged with carriages containing a pa tient and appreciative' auditory, many of whom were ladies.- The Senator was fre quently greeted with hearty applause, and at the conclusion the cheers were loud and long, winding tip with a tiger. The meeting was a great deal larger than Pen dleton's and far the largest assembled here for several campaigns, and was gratifyingly enthusiastic. Senator Morton touched and "moved the popular heart in Dayton. At the conclusion of benator Morton s speech the Hon. L. B. Gunokel was called for, but he excused himself by saying that it was rather late to commence a speech, and, besides, he could not think of talking after Senator Morton had spoken. Sure ties upon the bonds of Callectors of Internal lie venue, against whom suits have been commenced for balances due the Government, are asking for continuance of the suits. Commissioner Douglass declines to aooede to any requests of this character. Twenty-onenew cases of smallpox are reported in Lowell Mass., on Sunday. The Suporintendant of Public Schools prohibits the attendance of the children in whoes families of immediate vicinity the disease shows itself.

The jury in McGehau's case received the charge from J udje McKetuy .yesterday afternoon, aud retired about it o'clock They agreed upon a verdict about 3 o'clock thia morning. By the time J uue. Attorneys for the State aud the defense, the Sheriff, prisoner; 'and officers of the court were aroused and in court it was 4 o'clock. The verdict was guilty of murder in the second degree under a blank count in the indictment, omitting the number of the couot. The Judge pronounced the verdict defective, and instructed the jury how to amend. The correct verdict was rendered at 5 o'clock, guilty of murder in the second degree, under the second count in the indictment. McGehan was painfully surprised. lie remarked as he was leaving the courtroom, last evening, 'I expected a verdict of ac quittal, for the evidence wasn't near so hard against me as it was at Lebanon. The counsel for the defense immediately made a motion for a new trial, and Judge iVicivemy set c riaa v next to near tne ar gument. lo the .meantime Mcuehan will bo In the custody of Sheriff bwadener. Gov. Morton's Speech. Gov. Morton has the faculty of giving new point to topics or current discussion, and of drawing new themes from his own resources; and his excellent memory in the affairs of legislation enables him to make sharp comparisons between the loose statements of Democratic orators and the facts. In this line some .very pretentious Democratic speakers were made to sufbr by his bringing them to the records. Add to this the terseness with which he makes his hits, stopping at the culminating point, and letting them fly with the force of a blow, and his aptitude for finding the weak spots in the enemy's line, and his generally aggressive mode of warfare, and we have the qualities for a most effective popular "speech, and the reason why Gov. Morton s speeches always make the De mocracy rage. We print the trover nor s speech delivered to a crowded audience at Mozart Hall on Saturday night, revised by himself, and, containing some points left out in the report in the Sunday papers. Gizette. A sad scene occurred recently in the French Cathedral, in Montreal, A rich American lady, widow of Dr. Connolly, who, a short time ago in New York, mm. dered bis two children in a fit of insanity and. then committed suicide, became a viog maniac in the midst of church services, one suddenly shrieked in a frightful manner, and was with difficulty removed. Since her husband's tragic end. Mrs. Connolly has shown frequent signs of mental aberration, of . which, this is the culmination. A Pawling (N. Y.,) dispatch says the men attached to O'Brien's Circus and Menagerie, which was to have performed there last week, created a riot. They robbed nearly every house in the village. One citizen was killed, and several wounded. The plundering was still going on at last accounts, and the authorities had telegraphed the Dover Plains for aasitance.
