Huntington remained iv onstody, #8 wa have said, for several days, His bail, we understand, was fixed at $5,000, ane be could not procure surctics even in that Suial! gmount. A letter in our possession says tuat the Disirict Atiorney—the late Mr. N. B Blunt—refused to reduce the bail, and at lepgth only consented to do 80 aithe urgent entreaties of Mrs. Huntington, who repre- sented her then celicate state of health, the noed she stood in of ber busband’s presence, and the rick toher life i she was deprived thereof These arguments had their eifect on the kind hearted Haut. The bail was re- duced, and sureties being forthcoming, he was discnarged from custody, An indictment was found ngsinst him the followin; Fe)rosry by the Grand Jury,of which Mr. Elias 1. Seaith was foreman. For some cause or other, which we have been unable to ascertain, he was never brought to trial under it. Neither the indictment nor compiaint bas any endorsement on it explanatory of the non-prosecution. No rvile provequi was entered, The accused has been a Kinestann, Mayor, resident of this city ever since, and yet, as we bave said, there bes been no eflort to bdrin, bim to ‘trial. Perhaps, Mr. Tisll, the present District Aattorney, whe was at that time the assistant of Mr. Blunt, can exciaio this apparent mystery. A respest for the laws under wbich we live, and a peceseity for their fair apd impartial execution, require an explana- von to be made = We are far trom imputing any wreng motives op the part of the officers of the law, and we upderstend that tt is siways most difficult to procure a conviction under a prosecution for false pretences: but etl’, e records of the court give no cluc to this appa: rept ‘apse of justice, we thing tt due to the pabhe that a soficient excuse be put forward.

As to thore woom it is charged this Liantington succeeded in swindling, we have no sympathy for them, They bave got juet what they deserved.

OUR CAMBYIA CORRESPONDENCE. Caurnia, Oct. 25, 1866. The Filmore men at Johnstown were convened last evening in considerable force, to decide the question of their support of the union electoral ticket. Great upaaimity characterized their proceedings, and after an impartial exposition of its basis and neeossliy, they re- eoived to give it thelr undivided support. This docision, if faithfully fuidiied, wil! insuraa marked decrease tn the democratic majority, and will roduce it to ite original apd more honest number, which does not exceed six bundred votes. ‘Thotate vpexpected and unparailsled majority resulted from vwo causes. First, the refusal of maay decided ‘aptia” to record thelr votes because of the fusion feature ip Ube canvass; and, second, because of the av perior organization of, the democracy, which in sured the poil of its full strength, Besides this, te alleged—and with some dogree of plauet olity as well as truth—that in many of the election precizie,and particularly in Cambria and Loretto the mos upfair end uojust methods were resortad to to give it the vaviage ground—in the former precines, by deterring po- “tively many Cowardly natives from the record of their votes; and t the latter precinct by marking up the ‘ecord of its majority actually beyond the whole number of roMregane in the township. “Phat pipe leyiug aud other 1 ost nc farious and vp, uetidabie means were reacuted ‘© ip this and a most every other county ia the State, and eperimily 10 (bose counties where tuey were eominant, wi) BOL O20 Cannot be successtull: et not, it 1e apprebended, to such away sarinfuctorly , thelr ¢xtraora: lections, to compass whic they a kuOWD spporition majoriy of pot tees than forty thuu: wnd, Having traversed the wholo State, and scanned omewhat critically the actual condition of things, I un Seritatipgly aver the opinion that the whole phitosophy M the defeat Of the opposition forces in Pennsylyacia reeded mm the tact in the American element, which copruitutes the strom ‘Wing, only seven tenths were ‘wore tusion, while three tenths were Fillmore anti usion.

The complication that might follow pusaing matters to an extreme at Naples, and the disgrace incurred by drawing back afer all that has been said if not done, are the great difliculty of the day. Yesterday it was soid that an ‘energetic’ reeolution was adopted, but what ia meant by an energetl: resolution we cannot learn. If it merety consists in reeuiling our respective legations and breaking ot! al) My one intercourse with the King of Napes, that mbt have beep done without making 60 much noise about the matter. ‘Tue fact is, wt the present moment the Emperor of the French is quite as much oc- copied with domestic ailaira. as he is with the Neapoiitan question. ‘These alluirs do not present the moat fi stteriog aeprct. It may be trus that the resources of France are vast, and that she rebounds with wonder ul frem depression, but it is not the leas true that h tion is far from encouraging, and that greater jia!ais: ista among 4 considerable porcion of the workiag popula tion of Paris than for # long time past.

In some there were the words, “Vive lf nperevr”’ foliowing the ‘threats; f2 others they wore wanting. It is unfor tupate that the loog absence of the Emporor comeided with the panic caused by the ‘nancial criew, and wit. the distress of so many of the working classes, becawe tt gave room fr inferring, wrong(ully Lam sure, an indiference on bis part to their svtleings.

The action trame- pires in New York, and the comedy is intended asa satire cpon the extravagant expenditure supposed to be ebaracteristic of wealthy people.

Hier daughter Mary is ® jeune ingenne, too good for this world Ler half brotuer, Charles Sam- ford, is a dissipated rue cn the town. Mary Apex bas a private fortune of $15,000, which is in bank, and the main action of the piece is made up from tbe various machivations employed to get this money. Mr. Apex denires to borrow it to pay off some temporary mercaniile embarrassments, Charles aud irs. Apex ‘Want it to pay @ebis of honor and dry goods. Mary dees not care for the money and readily loans it to her father, Ber mother and brother, not knowing t whom tt hae been promised, j sintly forge a check, by which they ceed im obtaining the whole eum.

The original conception, however, carries the plece through: in epite of these defects, and the smartness of some ef the local allusions, aad the breadth and bemor of some of the charscters, contribute thelr share to what wust be regarded os & popular success. The pieos, however, will not stan. tho test of a oritte® examination; its aelineation of Fifth avenue manmers bas not the mor't of Leing even a tolerable cartcateres and the parts themsetve® have too strong a resemblames to certain standard types of the Sher:dau school met te show at once from whence they are drawn Even Unele Jobn Unit, around whom the interest of the piece may Be sald to centre, isan c'¢ acqualntanee, whose quaintasmp bas bees iong fam liar to us, and whose tautological fam becomes tiresome from the bare force of repetition. ‘The cbaracters were ‘a genera. well supported, amd to the excellent acting of Mrs. Davenport, Mra.

With such actors as Burton, Placide amd Fisher to support those talented jailes. a piece must tm- deed be dull, which would not flod a share of faver with theaudience.
