OHABLES O'COKOB. Whan Mr. Charles O'Conor was nominated for President some eight years ago, it was oo the basis of the reeolutionsof 1798. Ho represented, therefore, at that time the eztremest sort of State's rights doctrine. A few days since a long letter was published, which Mr.

O'Conor inflicted on certain Democrats of Newark N. beeause they invited him to celobratc with them the anniversary of tho battle of New Orleans. Mr. O'Conor was not in a -frame of mind to celcbrate anything. Stato "gilts are no longer anything more to him tao potsherds.

Tho sunset of life gives him ystical lore, and be sees, or imagines ho that tb? whole country politically is on the down grade, and that it must oitber surrender itself to anarchy or the man on horseffback. Of these two evils he counsels a preference of the latter, it is easier to deal with one man than with a mob. He predicts that tho Democratic parly, of which 1 or many years ho was a shining light, but which he now turns his back upon, will be defeated in the presidential contest, and as a choice of the evils which he thicks must ensue would prefer to vote for Grant. He attributes the loss of New York to John Kelly, whom he styles factionist," and Kelly has retorted that Mr. O'Conor is "a conceited old man." Others liken him to an aged Cassandra in pantaloons; while a Newark paper sarcastically remarks that "it would have been better for Mr.

O'Conor's fame bad he not lived to read his own obituaries." If Mr. O'Conor wero not so wrapped up in the cloak of his own virtue such pointed remarks would give him Beriou3 annoyance. San. A New York merchant, says the Baltimore Sun, who has just returned from a three weeks' business tour of observation through Maryland, Western Pennsylvania, Southern Ohio and West Virginia, gives a glowing account of the revival of industry in all that region. The leather manufacturers, he says, re refusing to take further orders, and have as much business on hand just now as they can take care of until midsummer.

The furniture manufacturers are all running full time; and likewise havo orders far As for tho iron and steel establishments, he says many are at work night and day, and some of them experience moro or less diffi culty in obtaining a supply of the right kind of labor. The farmers, too, aro jubilant, and are expecting to incrcaso their hog crops and grain acreage this year under the stimulus of good prices, and their improved financial condition, resulting from last year's harvests Saw few or no tramps in fact, almost everybody was at work. Fruitless efforts have beon made for years to recover a lost treasure, said to be 84,800,000, lying in the British ship was sunk in tho vicinity of LI oil Gate, East Itiver, New York, during the American Kevolationary War. The chief difficulty of recovering the treasure heretofore has been that the vessel haa beon covered with a considerable depth of mad It 13 now proposed, we understand, by Mr. llenry liohrcr, of this county, who is enlisted with other parties in the matter, to construct a pump that will draw the mud from the vessel and allow the divers to reoover tho treasure.

If successful, Mr. Kohrer will receive a per centage which will amount to S120.000. lie is now in Now York engaged in tho enterprise, and it will be very gratifying to bis friends here should ho bo so fortunate as to triumph in this which has baffled tho efforts of cumbers of parties for many Tears. A Richmond dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, under date of the 15th says It has transpired to-day that Senator Rid. dleberger, of Shenandoah county, one of the leading Readjustee, retired from the caucus of his party last night and refused to ho bound by its dictates in the nomination of a judge ol Louisa county, who is charged with incompetency.

This matter elicited heated discussions in the Senate to day, and resulted in Mr. Riddieberger's oarryinj; his point to postpone the election of the Louisa judgeship until the 19th in order to allow time for the competency of the Readj asters' nominee to be investigated. This Senator, as well as others of his party, insists that none but men anainst whom nothing can be charged shall bo chosen for the judiciary. It is understood that Mr. Riddleberner will not reBume relations with the Readjustee' caucus again until the debt question shall come up.

IIis temporary severance of his connection with his party caucus causes considerable talk in political circlcs. The conflicting elements in Maine appear to be getting along swimmingly, each in its own way, but together they have managed to make a worso muddle than ever. The best days of the Louisiana row are rivaled. Tha fusion Legislature on Friday formally electcd the greenback candidate, J. L.
