Editob M. 8. Quay, and J. 8. Batan, leaders of the Cameron-Hartranft-Treatury-Ring In Beaver county, have captured the ex-editor of the Beaver Argu Michael Weyand, Esq.

This is bow- it was done Hon. Wm. Henry received tbe Republican nomination for Congress from this county and, as we bad a just and equitable claim to the candidate, all our good Republican citizens felt confident Mr. Heury would receive tbe nomination by tbe unanimous consent of tbe District conferees never dreaming that his trusted friends Messrs "Quay and Katau would trade him off to secure the latter' nomination to the State Senate. But tUy did thus barter Mr.

Henry's, and his constituents' claims. Now for Michael Weyand. Ia 1870 be thought he ought to be in Congress many of us believed Mr. Henry should represent us in that body. Their claims were submitted to a vote of the Republicans of Beaver county, under tbe Crawford county system, and Weyand chosen.

I will not say bow that majority waa obtained. He was defeated iu the subsequent District Conferee Convention. The defeat of Mr. Henry, through tbe political wire-workiuir of Quay and Kutan, leaves tbe coast clear for Weyana next term so, be is surrendered, and la now cue a by jowl" witb his oid enemies. That's the way thev captured, mm.

it is unpleasant to believe "every man has his price," but it is true In nine cases out ot ten. Mr. Weyand despises, from the very bot tom of his heart, Messrs Quay and Butan. one is better acquainted with tbe politi cal rascality of those two Legislative bTDocritea no one in Beaver county has denounced them more bitterly than be has; and be despises them to-day worse than he ever did. Not six months have passed siuce be declared, in my presence, that be was actually afraid to walk the streets at night for fear of bodily injury from them or some of tbeir hireling ciau.

But, if be hated tbem, he bated Hou. Win. Henry far more intensely. Tbe latters antinathy is now so great that Mr. Wev- au.l would sacrifice auy thing even bis horror to defeat any political recognition, ou the part of tbe people of thai gentleman's claims npon tne respect aud gratitude of tbe party for his long and faithful servines.

The wily ring-masters knowing Weyand's weak point, "went for him;" auu like Col. Crocket's coon, be came down without shooting. When he "drap-ed," Quay said, "I never thought Mike Wryanu was sncb a fool as to be captured so easy, or I would have had bim in my train long ago. 1 always bad more confidence in Jake, any way." Quay and Butan aent messengers to Weysud who were professedly his friends promising that if he would pledge bis earnest suport to tbe ring ticket; stump the county in its behalf, cut loose from hi brother, tbe editor of the Argun; and do generally what they desired of htm, tbey would defeat Henry in tbe Conferee Convention, "lay him in his little political bed." and give him Weyand the nomination next term. "For," cold they, "we ha Henry as bad as you do." Weil, as I said above, Weyard came down, and is now eating dirt by fulfilling Lis part of the contract stumping the coiiucy tbe ticket against his euviciious of right.

He does not reflect that for year be was in tbe habit of bitterly denouncing the Cameron-ring thieves and especially auathematiziug Quay for bis alleged sale of Andrew G. Cur tin. He does not seem to tbiuk that one at hi time of lite cau ili-attoid to go back ou old and tired friends, aud be uuder tbe necessity of forming new ones. He for gets, if he ever knew, that life is too snort lo form two seta of friends aud hold tbem both at one and the same lime. The identical men, Mr.

Michael Weyand is now serving, sold out his chances for nomination to Congress at tbe Conference Convention of this District at Pittsburgh in 1S7U; aud he is aware of tbe fact, because he has repeatedly said so in my presence. As he was iietermined Mr. Heury abould be served in a similar manner, he joined the band of political rascals who alone in Beaver County jcould accomplish it; and never winced at the degradation to which be was subjecting himself. "Whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." I live iu sight of the home of Hon. Wm.

Heury, and, in justice to him, declare that be is not aware of the riting of this letter, or that it waa contemplated. He is a modest man, and would not desire any one to take up his fight. But it is too annoying to his trieuda to stand by and listen to Weyands platttudes from the stump, aa 1 have appealing to tbe people "to support the entire ticket," elect Ra-tan, whom be has told me he despises, wiihont letting the public know we are acquainted with the rwi which have brought about this political anomaly in his action. It is doue to fulfill his pledge to tbe Ring for defeating the nomination of Mr. Henry to Congress.

My reason for sending this to yon, Mr. Editor, ia that there is no paper in this county not owned and controlled by the Treasury Ring, except the Beaver Anjut; and it is published by a brother of Michael Weyand, Ksq who is tbe chief subject of this article; aud it would be improtier to ask its I user tion, therefore, iu that paper. Tbe information I deem important to our people, and noa-ing your ioderiidenoe, aaa journalist, thought it not improper to ask you for it publication. Hx'ASIOXAL. The Negre Attack at JenVrsan Title, Iai.

To the Kdlturof tbeCourter-Jourual. EFFEBSOXVtLLE, Sept 13. Being on duty last night when tbe rear of the Republican procession was passing the corner of Spring and Chestnut streets I uoticed a negro man in tbe street dis-turbiug the peace by shouting that he ciuld whip any Greeley son of a in town. I went np to him, and as was my sworn duty placed bim under arrest, aud proceeded witb him to tbe jail; but I was followed by a huge crowd of negroes who demanded of me tbe man I bad arrested. I refused to surrender him, and appealed to tbe mob, that had by this time surrounded me, to help me enforce the laws of tbe city.

They answered me with boots and yells, and rusbior upoc me tore the negro from my grasp. They also drew revolvers, knives and clubs, and threatened to kill me. These are the facts iu the case. CHRIS. SEEM A X.

Pn. Fraxkxik Taylor is the Liberal candidate lor Congress in the Chester (Pa. District, and of him Fokxev says: Taylor was one of the first Anti-Slavery men in Pennsylvania, one of the earliest of Republicans, and is an honest, high-toned gentleman, who would do the State honor and himstif credit at Washington. from the State Committee iu Ohio, for the purpose of calling attention in our own State, and especially in our own county, to tbe meditated colonization of negroes from adjoining States, and to the very efficient means recommended to prevent and punish any one attempting to vote illegally. The fact of the arrest on the spot of any oue attempting such an outrage, will spread like wild lire over tbe two cities and prevent repetitions of the attempt.

Tbe County Committees, everywhere, should take this matter up.

Tbey sre completely alarmed at the prospect of losing the State.

Pursuit ef Kaewkdge Under The ilrruld sent a reporter, reeently, to ask Mr. U'Conorjust what hi last letter to the Louisville Committee meant; but we judge by the followiug that the inter viewer came away no wiser than be went Mr.

Conor slightly inclined bis head, sua lu his absolute tone of voice said: Von wished to see me, sir? What is the object of your visit?" Tbe keen black eye of the aged counsellor expressed nothing but blank in-quisitlveness. "In regard to your letter published this morning. Was it intended to be construed as a positive declination of tbe nomination? or is there an understanding whereby your name well yet be used as that of tbe Democratic candidate?" "1 cau auawer you no questions. I will nt say anything upon tbe subject." "But there is seme curiosity felt by tbe public to know what secret arrangemeut may have led to tbe confidence with which the 'Bourbous cling to you a their candidate." "My letter, sir, i sufficiently clear to my self, aud if not to others I cannot help it" "A it is understood, then, you are unwilling to assert yourself candidate, yet will accept a spontaneous" "I care not what is understood, air." and Mr. 4 'Conor walked excitedly up and down the room.

"Will you permit me to ask you a final question "I will give you tbe privilege to ask me no questiou. What right have you, even as representing the public, to interrogate me? You may ask me tbe questiou in spite of my teeth, bnt I tell you lie forehand that 1 shall not answer it." "Suppose that you were willing to be run" "I do not give you the privilege to ask that question." and were elected, would you" "I repeat, you shall have no answer." accept the office as the spontaneous choice of your party?" Mr. OVonortook tip a paper and began to read then arose and paced up aud down, as if concealing a secret "agitation. 'You have not permission from me to attempt to extort anything from me." "I have not been able to do so, sir," said the reporter, smiling "nor did I wish to do more than ask yon a few simple questions, which you are not urged to answer." Mr. O'Conor smiled, then looked stately once more, and as his visitor withdrew, slightly inclined his bead, being careful to close the door after bis egress.

The aged clerk in tbe ante-room murmured a seraphic day," and the reporter LAST CONGRESSIONAL HOR- BOB. Each year within the last decade we have bad good reason to believe that the Republican party was about to fester in tbe middle, and fall to pieces from its own rottenness; and yet each year the huge gangrene at tbe heart has been successfully varnished over, and the rotting bonds of internal union made good against a time of need. Each year we conceived that tbe accumulated corruptions and excesses of that party had reached au aggregate so monstrous and appalling, that its own ranks must inevitably rebel, if not for tbe honor, at least for the property of tbe country and yet each year the elections have passed away aud left it as strong and vicious as ever. It has been thus bold in its transgressions of law and public morals, simply because it thought itself invincible, by reason of its partisan elec tion laws, its unscrupulous use of money, and its possession of tbe governments Federal, State, and municipal, which it never fails to use and abuse for partisan purposes. Even now we have small reason to bojie for any rebellious movement among its more extreme and besotted adherents.

It ceitainly looks like a difficult thing to awaken the sense of shame, or arouse a spirit of honest independence in the body of a party which has GRAXTaud Hartranft for candidates, and which not ouly tolerates Sikos t'Autitox, but loves and reveres bim a a kind of paternal autocrat. Rings within rings, ruling and corrupting it from ceutre to circuiu-fereuoe, and from top to bottom, seem to have debauched the conscience and extinguished the moral sense of those who habitually vote its ticket. Upon them tbe orticial venality which Swculalea iu tropical islands, which blackmails the commerce of a continent, which invests single corporations with millions upon million of acre of laud, which robs the helpless South of neatly two hundred milliotus in lour ears, which burdens tbe civil list with the Presnlent's relatives, which makes Custom House tbe spoil of MCKI'HTsand Cabkts, and which auctions oil' the highest oftioe under Government to rich men, who buy them with costly presents to the chief magistiate upon them this sort of venality, shame less as it is, appears to have msle no serious impression. Rut there is another form ot corruption more hideous still an infamy of a darker hue nod a prostitution ol a viler and deadlier sort. It consists of tbe purchase and sale of the people representatives in Congress semhU.I the tiaimftr of the legislative power the Federal Government to a baud of rogues for a given price.

The Mile tnit a legislator assumed is perhaps the most sactedotiv under our laws. L'poii the pure administration of that trust depends thf very existence of the State. To betray it loi money is one of the highest and foulest crimes. for it is tieason, pel jury combined. Yet it is this very crime, which, according to the evidence of one of tbe criminals, the principal leaders of the Republican party in Congress banded together to commit, by, winch wholesale Totes were sold at fabulous prices not by a few obscure thieves wh might have crept into that august body by accident, nor upon oue occasion atone, but de-lilierately and systematically, by the great chief-' of the Republican party, who dominated Congrcs, and held in the hollow of their bands tbe whole legislative power of the natiou; by Mr.

Boctw ell, Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. Rlaixk, Seakerof the ilue; Mr. Coltax. Yice President; Mr. Wilsos, Senator and Candidate for Yice Presi dent; Mr.

Rixobam, Mr. Garhelp, Mr. Dawks, Mr. Scokiei.d. Mr.

Ivf.iley, and many others, chairmen of the most important committees, who being combined in this mysterious and powerful conspiracy were practically absolute in caucus, in committee, or on the tkktr. In the infamous transaction which Oaee Ajsks himself a distinguabed member from Massachusetts projosed to his most conspicuous party Associates, the latter saw enormous profits and no danger. The "ring" included the highest officers of the Houses, the chairmen of committees, and all the noted chieftains of the tyrannous Radical majority! Who should call then to account? They might crush out inquiry as easily as they could pocket their dividends. We thiuk we know hereof we afhin, when we say that the information furnished by the Men York Sun as to tile manner in which Oakks Ames iu behalf of the credit niobilier, bough; up the Radical Congress, is true as f.r as it goes; but that much of, a star. ling remains to be expsed.

OAkts Ames anl his printipals refuse to deliver to McComu the itock lor winch he subscribed, because as they aver.the stock was used iu puichns-ing members of Congress, accordiig to a previous underloading among al concerned. And this Oakes Ames aid bis confederates are compelled to establish by their own testimony, else ttand without a defense against the daim.
