The minit r Dictator arrived at Port land, Maine, Monday, in company with the Aes,meaticus. The two vessels had race, without any marked difference their speed, although the former was foul, while the latter was clean. Admiral ar ragut and his party, ef the Dictator, were received with distinguished honors by the Portlanders. ' The renomination of Lieutenant Gov ernor Spooner is advocated by a number "Wisconsin Union journals. Hin. Byron Paine is also spoken of in connection with that office.

Mr. U u now en gaged in the coal business, having purchas ed an interest in an extensive ooal mine in Nova Scotia. "We regret to be obliged to chronicle the fact that he contemplates making New York City bis future home, and thus leave the Forest City in the wake TheNewburn (B.C.) Tmut in speak ing of the reported determination tf the people of some conn ties to insist that the constitutional amendment shall be totally ignored by the approaching convention in that State, aays: "If the people of this State are eoint; to take any such position as that, it would be much better to have no convention at all, for it is very evident that the State can never take her position ia the Union as a free and equal inembex, or be admitted to a seat in Congress, with out adopting this measure." A. M. Jacks on of Bucvrus is talked of as Democratic nominee f-r Lieutenant Governor. This Jackson it the man who got np and engineered a Copperhead anti- draft meeting in Bucyrua loss than a year ago, drafted a set of resolutions strongly denouncing the war and the gavernment, and made a speech going even farther than his resolutions in inciting riot and bloodshed in behalf of the rebellion.

Should they do so we have his "record" ready ibr exhibition Governor Marvin, of Florida, addressed his fellow citizens at Jacksonville on the 2d inst. He informed them as to the plan of the President for the purpose of recon struction, giving his views on emancipa tion, confiscation and other topics he deemed most essential to the welfare of the people. "Slavery," says the Governor, "has ceased to exist. With the fall of the confederacy its corner stone crumbled to dust, and the winds have scattered it " After some ad vice to thefreedmen, the Governor clcsed his address with an appeal to all to cheerfully accept the new order of things. The plan for a telegraphic line between Russia and America has been approved and signed by the Czr. The Russian Government undertakes to complete the line as far as Nicolajewsk, the remaining portion from NRsobgewisk to San Francis co being at the charge of the American company. The capital of the latter amounts to $10,000,000, and bonds repre senting $8,434,600 have already been is sued. It is intended that this route shall be finished in five years. A Leap for Death. The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday has the followirg: Last evening Mr. Thomas Hanlon was announced to appear in the sensation act entitled "The Leap for Life." After per forming a variety of most graceful and daring performances upon the apparatus entitled L'Eohelle, be prepared to jump a distance of ten feet and seize a cable, the lower end of which was brought directly nnder him by assistants. Standing upon a slender bar cf iron, he essayed the leap; but, to the horror of those present, he missed the rope, fell a distance of twenty six feet, struck the stage, and rebounded into the orchestra, an appaiently lifeless mass. Making our way on to the stage, we lound him stretched npon a stsge sola, surrounded by his sorrowing brothers, whilst Dr. Mussey carefully washed his wounds, which proved to be simply a flesh cut, two and a half inches long, and a slight cut on the lower j aw. His left wrist was consideraDly sprain ea, ana one nnger slightly swollen. The Brothers cave orougn. tnomasiTea, by strict regimen, temperance and exer cise to such a high state of physical health, toat they quickly recover from the few ac cidents that befall them. Dr. Mussey informed us late last night that Mr. Hanlon was as comfortable as could be expected, but he could not say whether or not he naa received internal injuries of a serious character. Rev. J. McCormick, of Zarmatt, reports another fatal Alpine accident. He writrs from the Hotel aa Mont-ruee, tiuiy u, and says that Rev. J. Robertson and Mr. PhillpotU, who were staying at the Eiffel Hotel, yesterday evening as ueuwiuo missed their friend, Mr. Knyvet Wilson. Koaiv.h was instantly made for him with lanterns. Their guides ana irienas aiviaea themselves into parties, so as to sweep over the face of the mountain, ine nignt was spent in looking for him, and tne anarch was continued at daybreak, ice bodv was eventually found on the roces oi the Riffolhurn, a rugged, dangerously slip nerv hill of serpentine rock, only a short rii.tanna from the Riffel HoteL Mr. "WU- had mounted this rock with some oi his friends in the morning, taking tne nrcner nrecautions of bavin (runes ana a mm with them He must, in the absence r. . - . i: i I 01 his companions, navs tuiuw j again in the evening without rope or guide, lost nis noia in txiauus; wwu, u fallen backwards on his head.

About 200,000 more are either en route to or in waiting for muster out at the places of State rendezvous.

NEW YORK, August 16. The President of the Traders' and National. BxBa states that bank holds $335,000 of the alleged forged checks as collateral security tor loans, which amonnt, he says, should it prove an entire loss, is nearly covered by the pres ent surplus and earnings. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, August 16. The Commercial says the market is er to day than might be expected. Until it is known what amount of certificates Is out there will doubtless be great caution in lendinr- to aU but firms in the best stand ing. If it were known that tbe issue reached the largest possible figure, 250,000, 000, there would be some reconstruction, for it would be clear there must be heavy losses and failures somewhere. The pro bable extent of the issue will not be known until it is aecertainel whether anything can be obtained from Ketch um, Son & Co. It is understood that Ketcoum has said he would be able to pay fifty cents, on the dollar of his liabilities. We are not aware whether that is supposed to include those on the account of Edward Ketch urn's forgeries. We hear of some cases of the selling of collaterals. It is rumored that a firm in the stocks and gold business has failed. It requires confirmation. The Post states the losses of Ketchum, Son & Co , by the abstraction of bonds and other securities, is two and a half or three millions of dollars. The name of the firm was only used once by young Ketch um, and that on the dy of his flight when he obtained on a check $300,000. The losses of Mr. Graham will foot up to over a million of dollars. Brokers and other persons share in losses in sums from $40,000 to $150,000. Four million dollars is the tamest state ment of the total loss that, it is thought, the figures will finally show. A party of thirty negroes from the South passed through this city to-day, en route for Rhode Island, where homes have been provided for them by tbe Freed man's Bureau. The Express says this is the second party of negroes thus sent to Rhode Island at the expense of the Government. It is stted in Brooklyn that Hon. Motes F. Odell has been appointed naval officer of New York Later information states that there is no ground for the report of another fail ure this afternoon. Tbe Poet's special says Garret Davis is in Washington, endeavoring to see tbe President for the purpose of making rep resentations about military interference in the Kentucky elections. AN IMPORTANT ORDER. NEW YORK, August 16. The steamer Nevava brings dates to the 12th. General Steedman has issued an order providing that in absence of civil courts in localities where no agent of the Freedmen's Bureau is established, r.U questions of wares and debts between freed men and whites, will be decided by Provost Mar shal. Contracts between such parties will be declared void if procured by fraud. Provision is also made ier compensation to freed men driven away by their former owners after an engagement had been made; also where a lreedman has been maltreated and leaves his employment Vagrants and: idlers are to be arrested and put to hard lahor. The Provost Marshal shall collect all money found due to freed men, and pay it over to them. MOVEMENT OF SPECULATORS. NEW YORK, August 16. The failure of the firm of Ketehum & Co. have caused a perfect rush ol stock speculutors from the watering places to the city, many of them to find themselves heavy losers. An immense aeiegnuuu ui bankers is here from New England and that section, who will sutler severely, as Ketchum & Co. hold a large amount of Kastern funds. An examination of the transactions of young Ketchum is being conducted. Cf the Board of Brokers Dib ney, Margen & Co. hold $100,000 of forged certificates. A detective went to Boston yesterday to search tba steamer Asia lor Ketchum, and will probably proceed to Halifax to catch him in case ne went over land. Some people think that he is con fined in the city. ARRESTED. NEW YORK, August 16. Peter R. Mumford, who was reported to have failed on Monday, was arrested to day, charged with having defrauded Green- leaf, Alorris os ua, oy isise ctecas iur io,- 000 on Mechanics' ISanfc, giving in pay ment on Saturday for $20,000 goll.

Theie is, however, an unaer- feeling of caution which betokens a that the storm may not yet be past. Tbe chief question of interest is as to the amount of forged gold certificates actually afloat and the kind of settlement likely be made by Ketchum, Son & Co. Tha stock market was excited and sales were very heavy throughout the list. strong ' effort was made to support prices of some of the stocks by JJuU cliques interested in them. After the board there was a decline on tne street, the market afterwards improve, again. The Bjars have been covering their con tracts to a considerable extent. The mar. ket lacks any organized Bull combination to sustain prices permanently and, con fidence is not yet entirely restored. Government securities are without mate rial change. National Banks are paying 7 30 coupons.

The extent of the loss ia not known, but it will probably reach two and a half mil lions. Owing to the extensive forgeries of Ketchum there is a general reform now being inaugurated in some of the city banks. Oa Wall street to-day no checks were paid without being properly testified. In one instance a broker, who applied lor $5,000 dollars, was refused till the books were examined to ascertain if his accounts justified the loan. It was found that he had overdrawn his account to the amount $22,000. i The last check presented by Ketchum on Monday was drawn in the firm's name, and was on a city bank for $60,COO. The check was presented in person by young Ketchum, who requested that the money ba given him in large bills. There being a small amount of these on hand, he was. paid mostly IHTmall tiiUs. ' This it it be lieved is all tha money he carried away with him. Some of the envelopes in which bonds were kept are found neatly folded and tied, and laid away as though complete, although their contents are no longer to be found, and there is no evi dence of their existence. Ketchum's gold and stock specula tions are the sole cause of his ruin. Once or twice his father was positively assured that if tbe firm was not engaged in such operations his son certainly was, and on speaking of these facts they were denied by Edward in a letter which he wrote before his flight. He g-ive an account of his operations as partner in the banking house. Tbe names of the parties with whom he had hypothecated the missing securities were stated. Edward gave directions in regard to the disposition of papers and the course to be pursued by the firm. Tbe abstracted securities were not en tirely property of dealers with the banking house, but belonged in part to the house. The account is not complete and can't be within a day or two. As already reported Ketchum & Co. are placing in the bank to the credit of senders all funds sent to tbe firm. A vigorous search is being made for Ketchum. It is thought he has gone to Halifax to take the steamer for Europe. The Commercial Advertiser says that in tbe case of capture he will not be pun ished. His father will not prosecute him, and in case the sums drawn on forged checks are paid up other parties will take no action. The Times says the proper business of Ketchum Jt Son was brokers and bankers. Three or four months ago they were great bears in railway stocks. Of late they have been great bulls in gold. They suddenly revived their position in railway stocks, first covering their previous short contracts at a heavy loss, street rumors said at time from $1,600,000 to $2,000,000. The recent upward movement in gold was of their en gineering. It was to weigh heavily npen the money market because there was no export demand for gold. GOLD IN THE TREASURY. Tbe custom house demand went only partially ahead of July interest on the public debt. About the middle of that month the customs demands promised to accumulate gold rapidly in the Treasury, already holding about $35,000,000, and it was believed this demand would so con tinue through the month of August as to advance the price of gold in open market, from the comparative scarcity of the tup ply outside of the large sum already mo nopolized by this speculation. It was thought that the Secretary of the Treasury had determined to convert a portion cf bis surplus gold into currency at market rates, and it was also thought that speculators bad resolved at any r oat to take all the gold the government would sell and advance tbe price. These fact have served to render the commission house unpopular among supporters of the Government, and have done much toward modifying the sympathy felt for them on the street. The gold checks are in all essentials like any other, only that tby are numbered and signed before they are good for payment, first, the signature of the drawer, second, the signature of the R-gister; third, sig nature of Teller, forth, signature of payer. The signatures were very bunglingly forged, the names were not spelled cor rectly, nor was there the least attempt to counterfeit the hand writing of the parties on whom the fraud were committed. It it difficult to understand how careful busi ness men and firms could permit millions of dollars to pass in and out of their hands on pieces of paper which were not only spurious but did not look like genuine ARRESTED.

The Tribune's Richmond correspondent says the interest already manifested in ar ranging for the trial of Wertz bids fair to outstrip that occasioned by ths conviction of the assaiis'ria- In the merit or demerit of this trial the Southern people are inter ested. By whatever facts shall be present ed, and the judgments that shall be passed, their popular sentiment toward Union prisoners will be adjudged. The fact that our men were starved, frozen and inde cently buried is not denied, but it is claim ed their own troops were no better provided for. Personal violence, inhuman guards or wan ton confinement are strongly denied, while they insist that better treatment was shown to their prisoners than was man nested Dy Yankees for escaped rebels. Upon the head of the Secretary of War are poured vials of wrath for his persistent refusal honorably exchange, and whatever of un- TKunuarv sorrow or trials were visited TTin prisoners was in conseauence of similar grievances at tne xtonn. Within a few weeks the jrreedmens Bureau will control every county m we State. The difficulty cf placing proper and efficient men to mansge each district has heretofore been very embarrassing.

The good conduct of the troops was highly spoken of, and they were generally well received by the inhabitants. Dr. Peebles, the newly appointed Col lector of Customs for Galveston, had ar rived at that place and will shortly open the Custom House. . Affairs on both the Texan and Mexican sides of the Bio Grande were quiet at last advices. Two colored soldiers were executed at Brownsville on the 29th for outrages on fe males. An entire division of the 25th corps (colored) paraded on the occasion, and the appearance, dicipline, and deport ment of the troops formed the theme of enthusiastic commendation on the part of Texan and Mexican spectators, great num bers of whom were present. Cortinas, with his force of Republicans, still hovered around Matamoras but had yet made no further attack on the town, and it was not supposed that he would, his numoers being too insignificant. A Matamoras paper reviews the story that Ex-Senator Owiniaat'the head of the Imperial Government of Mexico, State of Sonora, at an annual salary of sixty thousand dollars, but without any Ducal or other noble title. The Herald's Washington special says : As the result of careful inquiry it is be lieved that there ia an unwillingness on the part of a portion of the Cabinet to have Jeff. Davis tried for treason, while there is reason for asserting that the Presi dent is persistent to have him brought be fore a civil tribunal. Chief Justice Chase is expected to arrive here in the course of a few days for con sultation with the President as to the time and place which shall be designated. The ablest counsels in the United States are also being consulted on the subject. There is a flxel determination on the part of the Executive that there shall be an immedi ate and fair trial by the Jury of the coun try for high treason. It may in addition to this be confidently asserted that the President has determined, as soon as prac ticable, to withdraw the orders suspending the privileges of habeas corpus, and to dis pense with military courts. The President has pardoned the follow ing uamed rebels to-day T. C Bethel, of Lousiana Jonathan Worth, W. &. Mason, B. K. Moore and G. R. Caldwell, of North Carolina; Jno. L. Lehon and R. W.

The Tariff Association of this cityhava issued a circular statement of their prin ciples and objects, from which we make the folljwing extract : Our naonla hava Iiut emerged from an immense war, burdened with debt and hnma rlnwn hv taxation. OUT immediate wants are payment of the one, and relief from tbe other the decharge of our per sonal obligations the development of our internal resources the restoration and ad vancement of our financial prosperity. To effect these we must cut down ex penses and abandon extravagance keep our gold and silver at home create an American market reguiaia our vur mncv. and transact our business by a specie standard labor hard in all branches of industry, and thoroughly protect all p rtmenta of labor. 1'he first great stup in this direction, we firmly believe, is on increated protective Tariff. It is to be noted mat curing wi war the extraordinary advance of gold prevented importations and amply protect ed our industry ; that the return of peace has so depreciated gold mat imriortauoBS are being largely renewed ; that this, added to the neaeesary burden of excise taxation, has begun to cripple our mechanical enter prises to an alarming extent ; that unless relieved by early legislation, we shall speed ily be flooded by the pauper productions of Europe ; and that under these enormous disadvantages our home manufactures can not long survive. We must inaugurate) a system of competition between the well paid, intelligent labor of a free country and the ill-paid, ignorant labor of dense, despotic countries. Such a system a high protective tariff alone affords, thus opening our only avenue to financial equality with the world. . 1V Eyery true interest of the farmer, the mechanic, the miner and the manufacturer, demands a judicious embargo on importa tions. Public and private economy de mand it. The non exportation ot gold depends upon it. The creation ol a nome market depends upon it. Financial inde pendence is a dream without it. The success of our industrial pursuits and the development of our wealth are impossible without it. In short, we believe that our individual prosperity and our national se curity and progress can only be realized by the early promotion and steadfast pro tection of American industry. Believing th is, we have organized this Society, to diasominate practical informa tion and arguments on this subject among tha pitizana of Northern Ohio, to the end that the popular opini m may be intelli gently formed and effectually wielded lor the greatest good.

A few days ago in Buchanan county, Iowa, a Deputy Sheriff and two bailiffs were taking the bank robber, Rorubacher, to Butler Center, to give evidence in the case against Pollard lor the same offence. Here is what happened to the ducomiituie of the officers : At a certain point on their journey tba party saw some wild duck in a pond, and it was remarked to be a fine shot. The deputy hauled out his revolver, cocked it, and was about t shoot when he said, "By the by, Rorubacher, you are a good shot with a pistol, ain't you?" "Of course," said Rorubacher. Take the revolver, then, and try your hand at those ducks." Rorubacher took the weapon, jumped out of the little wagon, and advacning toward the ducks for about ten or twelve steps, then, suddenly wheeling around, covering them with the pistel, told the deputy and his aids to gtt out of the wagon, and vary quickly, as he intended ta take a ride by himself.
