Harrispure, Pa., June 13, 1870—By invita- tion of the officers of the Northern Central Railway Company, Pennsylvania Central Rail- road Company, and Philadelphia and Erie Railway Company, an excursion party left Baltimore by special train at 8 a. m. to-day to go over the Northern Central, Pennsylvania Central, Alleghany Valley, Vil Ureek ani Alle- ghany River, and Philadelphia and Erie Rail- ways. The object of the excursion is to give Southern railway men the opportunity of view- ing the railways and scenery of these lines, to- gether with the iron works, the coal mines, the Ol regions, and other objects of interest located thereon. Two Frxe Pictcres.—General S. Eastman, of this city, whose observations of scenery in the far West, and of Indian life during many years of frontier life, have qualitied him for the task of transferring to canvass the novel scenes and incidents in that region, has lately tinished two pictures which as truthful and beautiful repre- sentations of American gcénéry, wil) greatly pega een pve que aay ee ae ‘There ate about seventy-five persons on the seen at Markriter's well-known estab. | ©*Cursion train, including representatives of lishment, on 7th street, between D and | ™°*t of the southern railroads and of several E, where they attract. much attention, | £b¢ Principal southern newspapers.

To-day we visit the Pennsylvania Steel Works for the manufacture of steel rails, at Baldwin; dine at Harrisbarg, and remain over night at Altoona the eastern base of the Alleghany moantaine To-morrow, the 14h, we visit the Company Shops, dine at Cresson, the well-known summer resorton the Alleghany mountains, visit Cam- bria Iren Works, at Johnstown, Pa., and the Westmoreland Coal Mines, and spend the night at the Union Depot Hote!

On the 16th, the party will proceed by the Western Pennsylvania railroad to Natrona, and visit the Pennsylvania Chemical Works; from Natrona we shall ge to Of!

The morning of the 17th will be given to in- specting the docks and improvements at Erie, and the party will then proceed to Williamsport, spending the night there, and on the 18th will return to Baltimore. ‘This excursion, attractive in itself, has a special interest to Washingtonians, as fore- shadowing the speedy connection of the great railway system of Pennsylvania with the rai§ way system of the south, by way of Washington City.

The notes were taken from the office of the Treasurer. The Solicitor of the Treasury Department has satisfied himself as to how the robbery was committed, and the detectives are on the track for the recovery of the money and arrest of the criminals. The room of the Division of Issues, where the counting and packing of notes is conducted, i: guarded by male and female messengers and it was in this room the robbery occurred. On Saturday several ladies were allowed in the room to witness the counting by a permit from Gen. Spinner. Two men were with them and the messengers supposed they were the com- panions of the ladies, but subsequent devel- opments have shown that this was not *o and that the men were the thieves. While the male messenger preceded the party toshow the various places of interest, one of these men dropped behind, and while his ac- complice successfully covered him, and en- gaged the other messenger in conversation, ths Lowxpow, June 13.—It is reported that Mr. Dickens, a long time before his death, desired notes were taken, hidden under his coat, and | that his remaine might be intorred in the old the thieves succeeded in making their escape | burial und gt Rochester, which has since before the loss was discovered. been , and that negotiations are now pending.

The following interesting correspondence will explain itself, and although published after the election it will serve to show how malicious- ly false were the attacks made upon Mr. Emery by his opponents in respect to his character for proscription toward naturalized citizens, Cath- glics and colored men: WaSHINGTON, May 25, 1570. Hon. Matthew G. Emery. Dear sir: You are pene! represented by the adherents ef the Honorable Sayles J. Bowen present Mayor of Washington, as standing com mitted to the following propositions; Ist. Opposition te the right of all men to wor- ship God in accordance with the dictates of their own consciences. 2d. Opposition to any naturalized foreigner holding an office under the American govern- ment, and particularly under the corporation of Washington: and to all foreigners having work avuer your administration should you be elected to the Mayoralty. 8d. Opposition to colored citizens enjoying al the rights which are guaranteed to them by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, or which the constitution of the United States guarantee- to a citizen whether he be native or foreign born, or white or colored. In view of the foregoing, I believe you would aid the reform movement by answering the ful lowing question: Do you hold any one or all of the within re- cited positions with respect to any of the citi- zens of Washington particularly, and to thr people generally of the United States? Gorn of an American Catholic family, 1 have never favored anything which proscribel man on account of his religious belief or na tionality. And now thatthe Constitution places all men who are citizens on the same plane po litieally, my belief is that the day for politica! roscription on account of race, color, or condi mn, bas also passed away. I have the honor to be, very obedient servant, ctfully, your pT. W. FENWICK. WasitzneTon, May 25, 1870. R. W. Fenwick, Esq. Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of your etter of this day, and beg briefly but emphatically to re- spond. I am not opposed to the right of all men “to worship Ged according to the dictates of their own conscience.” I am not a proscrip- tionist of any class of citizens, whether native or foreign born, white or colored, from enjoying equal privileges of labor and claim to employ- ment, either corporation of this city, or on any work within the jurisdiction of any State or the National Government. The strug- gle of the Revolution which gave birth to our country, was based upon the liberty of con- science and of labor, and as the blood of all our citizens of whatever lineage has alike beeu given to secure us inthe enjoyment of a com- mon country and the same constitution, so alike in all respects should they be permitted to claim and enjoy the privi ‘of conscience and labor, as well as the right of franchise. Respectfully yours, — Wat Tuer Say or It.—The Rochester Chronicle (Rep.) says:—The defeatof Bowen for mayor is not a political triumph. Bowen and were beth Republicans.
