CoLi Miirs, Oct 12. Leading Democrats concede the defeat of Pendleton bv 1 Cincinnati, Oct 12. Four precincts and three wards in Hamilton county have been heard from, showing a falling off of 470 Republican majority, as compared with Sherwood's majorities lat the amount was in the early months of 1866. The Farmer's Bank failed March 9th, Did it take from one to two years to make these collections of drafts? The fact is, the money was kept out of the State Treasury to be used by some one, whether with fraudulent intent or not, the effect was the same to the funds in the Treasury for from two to three and a half years. This is a fact that cannot be denied; and it was for this that the Committee felt compelled to ask for, aud upon, Mr.

Cen. Com. Oct. 11th, 1869. The Congrrgationat and Presbyterian Convention ou Temperance.

In the Convention of Congregational and Presbyterian ministers in session at Sparta, on Saturday, tho following "deliverance'' on the use of intoxicating drinks and tobacco was adopted TUB USH AND SALE OP LIQUORS. 1. Intemperance is one of the grentet-t evils of tne day, destroying more bodies and souls man all other immoralities combined. 2. The great coudniiVo intemperance is moderate diiukiiifithe use of intoxicating drinks as au beverage.

3. The Scripture principle that, "Vhono know-eth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is obligates every person in this day of light to abstain from the use ot all aeoholic beverages as such. 4. We recognize tho truth that society has the right to protect itself against all evils that prey upon it, and hence hus the right to prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage. 6.

lSelieving It important that a majority of the people should have mind to sanction and sustain the execution of all laws enacted, this reason, aud all the sacred principles of humanity, call upou as to agitate the subject of temperance before the public, and thus fully prepare a suitable moral basis for such prohibitory laws as shall best sccuie protection against the terrible evils of intemperance. H. While destitute of full prohibitory laws, we deem it important to use such partial ones as we may to hainpt and diminish the curses mllicted by alcoholic beverages. 7. Our churches and ministers should see to it that iu every community there is in active operation an open temperance society, whatever other temperance fraterni ies may exist, and a portion of the Sabbath day should from time to time be given to tho consideration of the subject, sermons, or addresses by laymen4 being lven.

THE USE OF TOBACCO. These resolutions on temperance were immediately followed by the following on to bacco, which were adopted unanimously with much enthusiasm after earnest remarks by President Cuapin, Hon. S. D. Hastings, President Merriman and others 1.

The common use of tobacco is an offensive practice to persons of neatness and refinement, and consequently hinders the usefulness of those who indulge iu it. 2. It Is a wasteful practice, involving the unprofitable expenditure of large sums of money, lor which no good account can be given to the "Lord of all. 3. It is a practice injurious to health, both of body and miad tobacco being a narcotic poison which acts directly upon the brain aud whole nervous system.

4. It is a practice of injnrious moral tendency, fixing the habit of self-indulgence, aud producing a perverse appetite for stimulants which leads directly iu very many cases to indulgence in lntoxi- iting drinks. 5. It is a practice of mischievous example to our youth. For these reasons we do most earnestly exhort all brethren in this Convention and members of our churches and congregations wholly to refrain from this evil practice and all who have unfortunately become addicted to it not to remain in bondage, but to honor the claims of virlue and of religion by breaking its chains.

And we request ministers members of this Convention to present this our testimony to their congregations, and to diffuse information on this subject in such ways as shall seem to them discreet and effectual, and recommend the organization of terniperance societies in our Sunday-schools, embracing the pledge of total abstinence frcm ictoxicating drinks aud tobacco." Singular Shooting Affair A Man Mistaken for a Dear. Tho Kewaunee Enterprise gives the particulars of a shooting affair in that county. It seems that late ou Tuesday night of last week John Wallesch, returning on foot from Kewaunee to his home in Moutpelier, while passing the house of Wenzel Chiha, was attacked by the dogs of the latter. Chiha, hearing his dogs barking and his hogs squealing, supposed that a bear was on the premises, and took his gun aud went out. He saw a dark obiect in the road, some distance off, which he hailed several times.

Receiving no answer, he ook aim and fired, whereupon the supposed bear speedily found his lungs and yelled lustily. The gun was loaded with duck 8h8t, fifteen of which took effect, but very fortunately the distance was considerable, and none of the wounds were serious. Wallesch, it seems, is deaf, and did not hear Chiha when the latter called to him. The unfortunate man got out four or five of the shots himself, which were near the surface. Dr.

Taylor extracted seven more, and he still carries three or four. He is doing well. The Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, Andrew Proudfit, one of the chief priest of the Barstow ring, a gentleman who had something to do with the building of the State Insane Asylum, and who had a nice little scheme laid by which ho expected to make a hundred thousand dollars or more out of the State, this man is sending circulars all over the State denouncing the Republican party, and urging the election of the Democracy as a means of saving the State He is very anxious for the welfare of the people, and wants a more economical government He has no contract for building a State lunatic asylum now, but probably wants one. He is a most excellent and proper man to inveigh against corruption in the Republican party. Md-wmkee Wisconsin.

The Democrats increase their vote in the Western part of the State butiu Eastern Pennsylvania they have met with losses, rendering the resultvery close, with perhaps the chances in favor of Geary.

D. Butler, written at a Sandwich Island volcano, will be found on the second page. Mr. Spencer's (irtrtlar. We had hoped after Mr.

Spencer had withdrawn from the Republican State ticket, as a candidate, and his successor had been named and had accented the position, that nothing more than a frank and fair explanation of the charges made against him, would come from that gentleman. We had hoped this, because we honestly believed such a course would be calculated to leave Mr. Spencer in the best possible shape before the people, that the circumstances of the case would permit. But it seems we were mistaken. In last evening's Democrat we find a communication over his name, in which he gives his version of the action of the Committee, and claims that he has not withdrawn from the ticket that he was fairly nominated by the Convention, and proposes to "fight it out on that line." He admits that he did file his written withdrawal with the Committee, aud received from them the statement which has been published, setting forth that the Committee were "not satisfied that he had been guilty of intentional, wrong," He then says, he took that statement to his room, l'had it copied and certified," then went back and tendered it to the Chairman, and aiked that his withdrawal be returned to him7 This is most shameful trifling wi the Committee, and cannot be looked upon in any other light.

His own statement, is a confession that he only intended to deceive the Committee by tendering his withdrawal so a.3 to obtain the beat endorsement from the members he could, make a certified copy, for use, then take backhis letter of withdrawal. Such conduct would prove any man unworthy of a place on the ticket, if there were no other reasons why he should not be there. Mr. Spencer admits, that during the years in which "the deficit is charged, that he had sole control of this insurance business; that he did deposit drafts in Banks to his "credit as Assistant Secretary of States for collection merely that as soon as he was advised that a draft was paid, he drew his check for the amount, and handed it to the State Treasurer. If this is true, our banks must be slow in collecting drafts, inasmuch as over three years elapsed on a considerable portion of this deficit, after the money was received, before it reached the Treasury.

Mr. Spencer abo claims "that the unsettled policy of the State in regard to the insurance fund, necessarily created a suspended account that character." If this suspended condition of things did exist, it would would relieve the other officials from blame in reference to this matter, as he alone had charge of these accounts; was solely responsible for taking care of them; and he alone could know the exact condition of this fund. His own confession relieves all other officials about the Capitol from blame it. regard to these transactions. He makes but little explanation as to why 7,935,86 of money paid by insurance companies which blonged to the State remained in his hands from two and a half to three and a half years, before it found its way into the Treasury.

He admits to depositing the money in banks, and would carry the Idea that he met with heavy losses by the failure of the Farmer's Bank. That drafts were put there for collection, etc. Now, it appears that the deficit all took place in the years 1866-07. That the last certificate issued to an insurance company, whose money did not reach the Treasury ns it should, wa3 datedApril 30th, 1867. That most of this deficit occurred previous to that date, and jione subsequent to it, while considerable of is year, ljie 'Republicans concede themselves outrottd on both State and county ticket in this county.

Paris, Oct. 12. d'mwal from the ticket as a candidate for Secretary of State. Any other action on the part of the Committee, could not have been justified for a single moment, in view of all the circumstances in the case. Aii official, in a subordinate position, had withheld from the State Treasury for from two and a half to three and a half years, almost 000 that belonged to the ueople.

Could the committee, with a knowledge of the facts before it, think of asking the people to elevate this same official to the head of the same department in which he had been so derelict in duty in an inferior position? The idea would be preposterous; and nothing but the grossest presumption would ask it. The committee performed its duly well and promptly. Its action was right and honest. A new candidate was demanded by every consideration of propriety, and that at once. One was given to the people in the person of LI.

Brekse, upon whose character there is no stain. lie is "capable, faithful and honest." The people will thank the committee for its action in this matter, and will give it a strong endorsement at the polls in November. How Math 3Ir. Spencer Lost ia the Farmer's Dank.

JIT" The Democrat is serving up the Gamble pardon ia small plates of hash.

The Democrat is kind to its toothless readers, in this respect. Such a tough old lie as the Gamble slander should be cut up pretty fine, aud mixed with Pepsin to make it digest even in Democratic stomachs. The Purchase of St. Thomas. Ex-Senator Doolittle, counsel for the parties interested, had an interview with the President, on Saturday, relative to the proposed purchase of the Island of St.

Democratic Honesty. Prominent Democrats allege that they knew all about the action of Mr. Spencer in regard to the insurance fund as long ago as last winter, yet they said nothing about it then and why? Simply because they wanted to save it up as political capital ior tins lalls canvass. They did not intend that it should be made public until just before election, but got wind that it was likely to be aired, from another direction, and so the Mdison Democrat its statement of the matter last week, claiming the mime time a great deal of credit for its exposition of "iraud and corruption. It 3 safe to sa7 that if there had been no election this fall these pure gentlemen wonld have withheld their knowledge until an election should occur, though that event should be years hence.

Such is Democratic honesty! Milwaukee Wisconsin. of Jackson county, was nominated, by ac clamation, for the Assembly, for the district comprising Jackson and Clark counties. The Badger State Banner oays Mr. Morrill is a straight Republican, honest, able and trustworthy, long an honored resident of the county. That he is a good man for the position, not even his political opponents will deny.

The People's Press says Capt. Granger, of New Haven, has been put in nomination for member of Assembly by the Republicans of the Dunn and Chippewadistriet. A "People's Convention," in Dunn county, endorsed John Harrington for and nominated for County Superintendent' of Schools, H. W. Bcsh.nell; Register of Deeds, T.

L. Thompson; Clerk of Circuit Court, Sever Severson. The Republicans of Waupaca county are having a lively time over their nominations for county officers, thero being as many as seven or eight candidates for nearly every office. Tho Democrats of Lafayette county have nominated for Assembly, Eastern District, Henry W. Barnes, ofWiota; Western I District, Thomas Dikfey, of Benton.

The latter, according to the Republican, "is noted but for one thing, and that we. presume commended him to the Democracy, viz he fed the draft." Charles Ahem was nominat ed for County Superintendent, and II. II. Gray for Supervisor. A Convention of the Republicans of the Sixth Senatorial District of Milwaukee is called to meet, on Saturday, to nominate a candidate for Senator.

It is to be hoped that a good, strong man will be nominated, who can take advantage of the division of the Democracy, between Larkix and Deuster. In the Ninth Assembly District of Milwaukee County the Democrats have nominated James F. Devine for the Assembly. The Democrats of the Fourth Assembly District of Dodge County have placed in nomination for the Assembly William M. Morse, and for Supervisor F.

Gnewucu. That old Democratic wheel-horse, D. W. Maxon, has been unanimously nominated by the Democrats of Washington county as a candidate for the Assembly, That county is hopelessly Democratic, and Maxon is as good a representative as they are likely to get. Sir.

Spencer's Resignation. The Democrats, in their attempt to get sustenance from the Spencer matter, find that they are sucking a bad egg. They expected that there would be a division in the Republican party, on this question of the withdrawal of Mr. Spencer. We think that no Republican will hesitate to endorse the action of the Committee.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, in commenting on Mr. Spencer's dispatch, in which he claims that he has not withdrawn, says: If the note (of withdrawal) is genuine, Mr. Spencer must be out of the field as completely as though he had never been put in nomination by the Convention and he can now run only as an independent candidate, if he runs at all. We must presume that the note is genuine we must presume that Mr. Spencer has voluntarily withdrawn, and that the Committee has, in conformity with party usage in such cases, nominated Mr.

Breese. That being the fact, Mr. Spencer is do more the party's candidate for Secretary of State than Mr. Breese was two weeks ago. Perhaps the charges against Mr.

Spencer are susceptible of satisfactory explanation. We hope they are; and we hope, both for the sake of Mr. Spencer, whom we have held in very high esteem, and for the sake of his who cannot but feel a deep interest iu the matter, that the explanation will speedily be forthcoming. But nothing can explain away the note of withdrawal. That is a fact, and is conclusive as to the candidacy of Mr.

Spencer. Jt is not a legislative resolve to be recalled and rescinded, and we are confident that, on mature reflection, Mr. Spencer himself will take this view ot the matter. The Evening Wisconsin has published sev eral articles on the SrENCER matter from which we make the following The Democrats are making an immense fu3s over the Spencer matcer they seem to think that they have a good thing in this, something which is going to lift them right into power. They seem to forget that the last time they had control of the State Government, their Treasurer, E.

H. Jansen, proved a defaulter to the State in the sum of $34,973.95, all of which is yet due. When Democrats pay into the Sta'e treasury what one of their tools etole from it years ago it will do for them to talk about Republican corruption; until then their denuueis-tians of it are very like the devil rebuking fin. We would not wish to appear to defend Mr. Spencer.

We have said heretofore, and we say now, that if ho has been guilty of what has been affirmed against him, and what we understand he admits, he is utterly unworthy of the confidence of the Republican party, and unworthy of the responsible place to which he aspires. It makes but little difference that he did not intend permanently to keep the money which he had used he kept that which had been entrusted to him in confidence, not to hoU, but to pay over to the treasury. He was not the proper custodian of this money, and therefore thero is not the shadow of a palliation for his putting the money out to his own benefit. In another article the Wisconsin says: The News, of this city, states that the republican press defend and endorse the conduct of Mr. Spencer in the matter of the insurance fund.

A MORE DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD WAS NEVER PRINTED. We think we have feen as many of the republican papers of the State as the News editor, but we have, with perhaps one exception, seen no paper that has uttered one word of defense of his conduct on the contrary, those that have spoken upon the subject have condemned his course in unqualified terms. If the News men are reduced to falsehood pure and simple for material ilh which to construct arguments against the republican party, they should retire from the profession of journalism, or from the political field.
