The following is the manner ia which the matter was adj tutted, as nearly as we could pet the particulars: Mr. Ci rover to be elected Chief Justice, which would give promotion j to Secretary Cbadwiek; CoL Gilfry to be given the place of District Prose cuting Attorney, giving place for the1 promotion of Mr- Jackson to the. place of Private Secretary to the Governor.

Tlie parties agwiust whom they are so bitter arewmply lu tbe way of the Hardware King, because of superior talent aud influ ence and the tone ot the attack on there indicates the actual cause to every think ing person. Mrl Mitchell aud Mr. Holla day need no defease against such attacks. They are simply two individuals, each baying a riglit to vote or hold office, if the people select them. They do not claim to own Ice party or run it, but the former occupies a place which Mr. Corbett tailed to reach.

Cann, Governor Watkinds and other leading Demo crats rise and explain who authorised that eall to be issued in tbe Governor's organ? We pause for a reply. The same paper says editorially tbe few Democrats wbo have heretofore voted Independent tickets have returned to their first love and will vote the straight ticket ia future. This iu throwing ice-water on tbe effort of Democrats' in this county to organize an Idepeudeut party. The following from the Albany Demo crat is entitled to consideratson at least: 'Tlie remains ol John Frot, 0e unfortu nate man wlio killed Irimtelt lat balua day, were interred yesterday lo one corner of tlie grave ysvd, by Iarlm F.

Tbe Bret . three . verses of the second J chapter of Genbn declare that God com j pleted his labor and rested. Opposed to I fM we-lwiwodt twi record on the- rocks, decltring his labor is not yet com-1 pleted and that be has never rested. J rianUgrowon the seventh day just tlie same as on any other. Formations, (uot creations) still go on, every second of time, just as actively is ever. One pot- tlou of the earth's crust the Pacific coast for example) is steadily raising above tlie level of tlie sea, w hile on the Atlantic, from Massachusetts to Horlda, It is as steadily sinking. During the last hundred years the Connecticut shore has disappear- ed beneath tlie water for a distance of nearly two rous. i ne same is irue ot i f w Jersey. So, too, the region ' around the great lakes which lie between the United States and Canada. These lakes offoe tied ttieir outlet tbrongh tbe vallev of the Mis- ' slssippl, into the Gulf of Mexico, but as the whole region slowly went down, while Soutliern Indiana 'and Kentucky steadily rose, there came a time wImjii the surplus ot these lakes could ne longer flow fo the sooth. Then tbe waters turned northeast and commenced cutting out a channel knowa as the Niagara river. In this stupendous enterprise there was no stib-coiitractor,Jbnt the whole was planned and executed by the Grand Architect of the Universe. He has never rested since the work began, and it Is still pushed lor ward as vigorously as at fir-t. True, this is a very recent etiterpri'ie, and could not have been commenced more than -torfy or tilty thousand years ago, while at the Glen, at the head of Seneca Lake, State of .Nr York, I saw in 1SG3 a job npoti which Infinite Force nmst have labored nnoM-ing more tlian two hundred thon and years. Tiie same phenomena of some portions rising and others sinking Is also visible in En rope. The coast and bottom of the Bal tic sea has been raking, for centuries, and now the ancient shore is nearly half a mile from tlie water edge. On the other hand, France, Holland, and Great Britain are slowly but surely going down, and a tew hundred ' thousand years hence Eng land will be at tiie bottom of the ocean. Asia aoo Africa offer no executions to this general rule. Tlie Great Desert or .Sahara, a thousand miles wide acd more than mo thousand miles long, only short time ago lay at tbe bottom ot the ocean, and lias not bad time since it seta rectioo, to be renuerpd a a habitation tor nasw But whew JCnglaod.

DutTey and a (South pue blo saloon keeper went en a protracted Spree together. They remained drunk Several daye when DufTey returned home accompanied by Monahan. In the erenlng the saloon keeper, who was still under the influence of liquor, used eoarse and Insulting language toward Dufley'e little daughter, which the father promptly resented. Mona han, flying into a furious outbreak of temper, eted an unloaded gun and struck Dnffey over the head with the barrel, felling him to the floor, lie then ran from Duffey's houtta and re turned to his saloon In South Pueblo. Tbe next morning Monahan and his partner, a man named Roberts, re turned to Dufley'e house, the former boasting that he would make DufTey retract something he had Mild the night before. Arriving at the house Roberta remained ouuide while his partner went in. Shortly after Mona han entered, loud talk was followed by a pistol shot Robert entered and found DufTey lying tipon the floor, the blood streaming from a wotind In the left eide between the fifth and sixth rtbe. The hall fired by Monahan had passed through both lungs, made its exit nnder the right arm and lodged in one of the log of the building, IHtffey'e recovery is htUy possible. Monahan, as soon as the effect of his act became apparent to him, mounted a hone belonging to his partner and rode rapidly away.
