"Tbe criminals in clude men in every station in life law yers, doe tort, justices of the peace, "iuajrtri, Usited States deputy mar shals, clerks of tur1i, and numerous merrbimt." The air seems to be ladened with rumors ef Congressionel relief schemes Tor railroad t. Sthenics Tor ship canals. Schemes to pay a portion, if not all of the Southern debt. Schemes to refund the Southern cotton tax and other scheme, mora than efiotfgil an hundred times over to put Congressmen on their guard against the manipulations of the Lobby. The PiiUburjt Telegrapk of 2", writes on the subject as follows. From the goings r.t in a number of interested quarters', we judge tht a raid wilbeuiade on Congress this winter on behalf of a number of schetnas involving an enor mous expenditure of the public money. Tbe Kortb a Pacific Railroad, it is now pretty generally conceded at Washington, inc(t! or being deterred by tbe failure of Jay Ooke Ji. Co., from asking for subsidy aid, will ask Congress during the coming session to guarantee the interest on its bonds for a large amount in exchange for a portion of its land grant. To meet tbe anti-monopoly feeun'g recently so devel oped in the West, the Company will pro pose, if tbe subsidy is conceded, to permit Congress to tlx tbe rates of freight and pas senger (ares. There is a coolness in this idea that is admirable. But it is hot alone the Northern Pacific that propositi to lay siege to the Treasury. The Union Slid Cen tral Pacific tteaira to gt rW of paving any of the interest on their bonds, which the Govern menl has indorsed, and which now amounts to an annual charge of millions on the Treasury. The siiuplo question that ought to meet Congress is whether the United States shall go on for an Indefinite time paying its annud proportion of inter Mat An . n.iiwtn.1 nf slTtr-flve mitllrtna (the ' - r i i - A - .I ... Mw M llm Hill VI OTIKII IWKtM f , ! J the principal, or nether it will stop tbe business now, by compelling these compa nies to pay the interest promptly, or lacing the road and selling it to thos- who will. It is certain that the United States as sec ond mortgagee will have in the end to take these roads to protect its own debt and in terest, and possibly the sooner it is done the better, but this is what the lobby will Be em4uyed to contest and Congressmen to vote against. Besides these schemes there are other jobs sf ciicmons? magnitude, all having as their objective point, the Federal treasury. Tbe cotton tax is one of them, the assump tion of Southern State debts another, itrtd there ar half a doscn ship canal projects that will coat tuitions and hundreds of mil lions, a great portion of which wHI go to enrich Credit Uobilier and construction companies. Then are rumors of a com bination of all these projects, so that they will have a surprising amount of strength, on local considerations alone, to commence with. Tbe Southern Pacific road also wants a matter of sixty millions. A Washington corresjtoudent figures up the astonding to tal of seven hundred millions, u the gross amount of tbe sum demanded by these combined raiders on the treasury. Of cou.le they will take less, but the figures are sei high at tbe outset. What Congress may do, and how it wi 11 meet the assault on its integrity, is difficult to determine in advance, but after the ex posures and scandal of the last session we think ihe least particle of prudence wonld dictate that the whula batch of claimants and plunderers, of'aiious degrees of cor ruption and impudence, should be turn ed adrift to browse as best they can on private pastures, where they w ill have to con tend w ith individual integrity and shrewd ness. The Kepublican majority in Con go's cannot afford to carry these subsidy schemes. The load would be too much for them, individually and collectively, and po litical expediency as well as higher motives dmian4 they should be rejected l the out set firmly and decisively. Ex President Jgiiksox was sere naded at the Metropolitan Hotel at Washington, D. C, on tbe evening of tbe 23rd inst. Calls were made for a speech. The ex-President appeared and delivered one, in which be deliver ed his usual talk about tbe Constitu tion. He denounced Congress, a good deal after bis old fashion. He wished for tbe return of the days and times of the old Democratic and Whig parties. He believes the "liberties of the peo ple are gone." He referred to the "Patrons of Husbandry, or Grauges." For them be cared nothing further than that if they could right things in na tional and State governments he wished them success. He favored a war on monopolies. He believes gold and sil ver to be tbe Constitutional currency, and favored the wifhtfrawal of all na tional bank notes and the substitution of greenbacks, to be received in pay ment of all Government dues. It Was a speech characteristic of Mr. John son. Tbt ex-PresMetit certarttly bas the right ts-ta-k whenever and wherever ib? people will listen to bm, but the point of a speech such as be delivered at Washington is obscure, nnles, in deed, it was merely to talk. The managing editor of a New York paper was called to testify in a Brook lyn court as to tbe authorship of a cer tain article in tbe paper over which bi management extended. He stated tbe name of tbe editor of tbe paper that being sufficient to rest a prosecution on Tbe judge was not satisfied ; he wished to know tbe author of the article. The witness wo!d not tell. 1 be judge sent him to prison for refusing. Editors and publishers are responsible for libel ous articles, and authors, in cases of prosecution, are of no account. Tbe law only sues the owner or representa tive of the journal publishing snob mat ter. Tbe judge in question saw differ ently. He is wrong in bis opinion and in its enforcement. A DELEGATION of mora than two hundred Virginia West Virginians have been on a visit to this State during tbe past week. There was a large per eentage of ladies in tbe delegation wives and daughters. They entered tbe State by way of tbe Cumberland Valley. There is now a continuous railway communication from Harris burg to Martio6burg, and while on a visit to Governor Hartranft, at Harris knrg, their spokesman dwelt with de light on tba avenue of communication to the heart of Pennsylvania.

Many of oar reader ?!1 docbtlers remember tbe particu'ara of the mur der of Winfield S. Goes, neat Pcnning tonvtlle, on tbe first of July, 1873; bnt Inasmuch as the case Is oBe of pe culiar interest, inasmuch as it involves a plot to defraud insurance companies IS well as a deliberate takiog of human life for the purpose of biding the con spiracy, we have prepared tbe following sketch, giving a brief summary Of tbe facts elicited at the coroner's inquest, which implicated Wlllism . Udder sook as tbe perpetrator of tho fearful crime : The facts of the Goss ease are about these : A tuarritid man earned Winfield S. Goss, who was in very moderate cir cumstances, bad a life policy in the Matual, Continental, and Knickerbock er Companies, of $5,0C0 each, and $10,000 in tbe Travelers' of Hartford, making $25,000 in all. Tbe ptemium; on these policies amounted to over $400 pet annum, a sum larger thin Goes' annual income would apparently justify him in carrying. During tbe winter of l$72 tbe insure J man was reported to btve been burned to death in bis shop ; but tbe insurance companies believing that all was not right, refused to pay tbe policies, and Mrs. Goss brought suit to recover. On tbe trial wbicb ensued William E. Udderxook testified that be was intimate in tbe Goss family, and on tbe night of the disaster be had called there with a friend and found Goss fixing a lamp, for which be wanted a chimney. He and bis friend went after tbe cbimney, leaving Goss in the sLop working at the lamp. While tbey were gone he supposed the lamp was npset and the building fired ; for when tbey returned the shop was in flames, nearly destroyed, and Goss missing. Goss was not beard of again, but charred human remains were fonnd among tbe ruins, and be believed tbcy were' ftse of Goss. It was shown on tbe trial that Goss had bad especially beautiful teetb. Tbcy were such fine teetb as to attract tbe admiration of a prominent dentist of Baltimore, wbo made overtures to obtain a east of fSem. 'f teeth in tbe remains found were defective and decayed. Tbe widow recovered tbe full amount of the policy against tbe Mutual, of New York. Tbe suits against the other conipabfes are still pending. During the trial in court on the part of Mrs. Gobi to recover tbe insurance effected on ber husband's life, a brother of Goss came forward aod presented a watch, bearing the look of having un dergone some fiery ordeal, and swore that be found it in tbe ashes of the burned building, aod also testified to its identity as being tbe one carried by his deceased brother. A. Campbell Goss is a brother to W. S. Goss. He was formerly a life insurance sgent, aud it is believed that it was be that conceived of the plan to have bis brother's life insured to a large amount in several companies, to then proclaim his death by burning, and tbus secure tbe amounts of bis policies of insura'DCe, which were to have been di vided among tbe parties engaged in the conspiracy He has also been arrested and held for trial. The charred body was so mutilated when discovered as to prevent identifi cation, but investigation since tbe ar rest of Udderxook bas brought to light tbo supposition that it was resurrected and taken to Baltimore to serve tbe purposes of tbe offenders. It was expedient to keep W. S. Gos absent from Baltimore, and for seven mouths he is believed to have spent bis time at Newark, New Jersey, and Coopers town, near Bryn 31awr, in Pennsylva nia, until be was joined by Udderxook and finally disposed of. It appears that Wilson, alias Goss, became weary of tbe delay and feared to return to Baltimore lest be might be discovered. Udderxook, being in constant dread of bis fefftrn, is believed to bave deter mined to take his life and thns nd him self of bint forever. Accordingly, on on Monday, June 30, he got off tbe cars at Penn Station on fbe Baltimore Central Railroad,- ra company with a stranger, and that evening both took lodgings at Mr. S. E. Jefferis' hotel at Jennerville. Tbe following day be (Udderxook) hired a horse and rode to Penningtonville, and on (be way back stopped at bis brother in-Iaw's, Samuel Rhodes, and remained some time, after which be continued bis journey. Rhodes testifies that be endeavored to induce him to join in the conspiracy to tob of mfttder Goss, bst be deeided to have nothing to do with tbe transac tion. Rhodes made no reply to Lis letter on tbe subject, and be thought no more of the matter until the 1st of July, when Udderxook put in bis per sMial appearause at bis mother's, at Jennerville, iu Chester county, and from there came on to the residence of Mr. Rhodes, bnt be not being at home, be, with bis sister, Mr. Rhodes' wife, went after bim at Mr. Baldwin's, where be was harvesting, and informed him that be bad bis friend with him at Jen nerville, and that be wanted ,hira to join bim in robbing bim ; that they could procure something at the drug store to render bim uneonscijis, when tbe money euwJd be obtained. He de sired Rhodes to loan bim his horse and wagon to bring tbis friend of his. np to bis (Rhodes') bouse, for a few days, so that tbirdeed could be done there, to all of which Mr. Rbodes- pervmntonlr sou declined, and remarked that be bad better abandon sucb ideas and go home. He remarked that be was going to do it anyhow, and left him, Coining to Pen oirgtouviile. Hiring a bbfse and bug gy of Mf. A. C. Baldwin, be left, say ing be was going to Jennerville for bis friend, to bring bim up to his sister's for a few days. He went to Jenner ville, got bis friend, and they were seen to leave the village about six o'clock in tbe eveuicg, and that was Hid last seeu of tie man alive. Tbe horse and bug gy were returned to Mr. Baldwin that night about midnight, with the loss of blankets, oil cloth, io. NotLiug was ttcugbt about tbe loss of '.Ltse articles, as it was presumed the min was or bad been under the influence of liquor. Tbe price of the blaukeU was demand ed and was paid by Udderxook, and thus tbe matter ended. Mr. Rbodes disclosed bis suspicions to several of his friends, and among the number was G. P. Moore, who, on bunting through tbe woods on tbe evening of Friday, July 11th, accidentally discovered tbe dead body of a man with the arms and limbs both cut off; the throat cut, and four or five stabs io the chest and body, any one of which would bave caused death. Wbea there faots were made known, the buggy was carefully exam ined, and blood was found upon it in several places : tbe dash was btut, and tbe leather of it torn, besides the bows being broken, showing; that the act of killing was done in the buggy. Iu the buggy was found a handsome ring, which has been identified as tbe one the murdered man wore. The body having lain from July 1st to July lltb, was too much decomposed for identification from the feature, but the general ap pearance, size, color of bair aud whisk ers, left no doubt that tbis was tbe friend Udderxook left Jennerville with on the evening of July 1st. After returning the horse and wagon Uddetxonk visited bis mother's house, where b's clothing was washed, and then left for Baltimore, where be re mained quietly at work until his arrest on tbe 22nd of July. He cetrayed considerable surprise at tbe time ot his arrest, although he expressed confident ly his belief of proving bis innocence. On bis way to West Chester he was dis posed to be quite communicative, and only ceased at tbe suggestion of tbe sheriff. He told the story of bow be was suspected of tbe crime in the fol lowing words : "I came np tbe Balti more Central Railroad one evening in the latter part of June, and while sit ting in tbe car a stranger asked me to get him a drink, as he felt badly, to which request I acceded, and from tbis we formed a partial acqunntauce, and 89 we talked, and went to Philadelphia. On the evening of thj 30th of June we got.off the ears at West Grove station, on tbe Baltimore Central Railroad, and from there the stranger and 1 walked to Jennerville, where we put np for the night. During the night the man was vrry sick, and required my attention at intervals. The next morning I hired a horse to take a ride, but the horse wotrldtr't drive, so I rode bim to Pen ningtonville, where I hired another horse and wagon, with which I return ed to Jennerville, leading the first named borse. From Jennerville, in tbe evening, I took the stranger riding, and left hiia at Cochranville, from which place be said be wae going to Parkesburg, which was tbe last I saw of tbe man. After quilting bim I drove bacV 19 Penningtonville alone." xbe" in-rarance companies, as well as tbe ctficcrs of the Commonwealth, Dave been actively engaged in securing tes. timony, and they bave long since gath ered a mass of circumstantial evidence of the most startling character. Link by lick the kben-eyed detectives bave forged a chain which forms a circle so near complete that it will be difficult to imagine by those not versed in tbe law, wbat plausible plea can be urged in bis defttce by bis distinguished counsel. The trial commenced yesterday, Octo ber 2Stb. Tbis is unquestionably one of tbe most interesting murder trials ever beld in Chester county, and one in which tbe citizens of Baltimore also feel a special interest. It is almost like a romance in its details. The seal ring and the set of teeth will be important yet silent witnesses, and tbere is a wonderful sim ilarity in the fact that tbe body of the murdered man seemed to have been al most as skilfully dissected before bu rial as if it had passed through the bands of an experienced surgeon, as probably did the shapeless trunk wbicb was palmed off as the remains of Goss after the burning of bis shop in Balti more in the winter of 1872. It would be difficult to imagine the dreadful ter ror of those who were implicated in the plot to defraud tbi Insurance compan ies and tbe accidental discovery of tbe remains of the murdered man through the agency of buxxards, wbo literally picked them from their shallow grave, recalls the story of Eugene Aram, whose victim, first covered with leaves and branches, was exposed by tbe winds and storms of heaven, was then washed from bis grave by heavy rains, and finally the river in which the body was tunk became dry. How true it is that murder will oat, even though years oiay elapse before tbe majesty of fbe law may be fully vindicated. And yet bow difficult it is for jurymen to decide on merely circumstantial evidence, no matter bow plainly it may point to the offender. Justice U inclined to believe every man innocent until be is proved guilty ; aud William E. Udderxook may rest assured that in euligbteoed Pennsylvania, and in tbe county of Chester, so rentrw-icd for its- intelli gence and iearning, he will bave a fair and impaftial bearing. Kindness, ben evolecee, lnd charity arc the charac teristics of in any of its citifens, and yet, with all their forbearance' and generos ity, p-rhspS no community in tbe Com monwealth are more iu favor of condign punishment when it is well deserved.

It instructive, as well as ornamental. Tbe design is tasty and well conceived. In the centre is a large oval photograph of Wa-ibingtof, a very superior likeness, taken from a copy of Stuart's celebra ted painting in Faneuil Hall, Boston. This is sorroSSded by seventeen smaller photographs, ret resenting each of tbe other Presidents. Tbe photographs are all by Sogardus, tbe celebrated photo grapher, President of the National Photographic Association, and the ae knowledged bead nf tbe art in this country. Every picture is a gem, and is surrounded by a gilt oval, and the whole by an ornamental border in gold. At the bead of tbe picture is the Amer ican Eagle, with outspread wings, clutching in its talons tbe starry ban banner. Under each portrait is tbe name of tbe President it represents, the State from whieh be was chosen, and tLe year be served. At tSe bot tom of tbe picture is printed in orna mental style the title. The whole is mounted ou extra thick photographic card-board, ready for framing. As wt said before, this picture should be in every boose in tbe land, not only as an incentive to the rising generation to emulate tbe example of these great mec, but to afford a medium cf inform ation that come borne to thj heart of every citixen, and in regard to hich few are prepared to converse intelli gibly.

Only a few days previous, her intended husband, wbo bad followed her to Shn-veport, died with tbe fever. Both bodies were brought to Philadelphia for burial. Tcesdat, December 1C, 1973, will be oue hundred years since the tea was thrown into BoHotr barbor ; and it is proposed to celebrate the anniversary all over tbe country. Philadelphia Will of course take the lead in a ''Tea Par ty" worthy of tbe event. The Cen tennial laities could atilixe it profitably if tbey would take charge of it.
