The good work of investigating the Republican thievery in South Corolina is being pressed -vigorously. We mentioned the othei day the arrest of ex-Gov. Moses and ex-Speaker Lee, and at the 8am e, time the flight of ex-rTreasurer QixdQZS,, alld that warrants' had been issued for the arrest of A. O. Jones, former clerk of the House, antl C. W Montgomery, former Presiderjt pro tern of the Senate. The two latter have been arrested since that time, and Moses, Lee, Jones ar.d Montgomery arealijpo jn jaif ! in Cotumbia. A special dispatch from Marion to the CharlestojQ Journal of Commerce, under date ot the 26th, states that ex-Secre- tary oi State uayne leit nis nome m that town Thursday morning, and fled on the northern bound train, and it is stated by the Charleston News and Courier that Moses is willing to turn State's evidence. Woodruff has been arrested in PJiiladelpbia and the good work goes 'bravely on. The develop ments will -te astounding, and the result of the investigations will be to clear the Palmetto State of the whole fhieving crew.

The posUl convention which assem bled at Fortress Monroe on the 25th f instant, adopted the following memo rial to ' the : Congres a- of - the United States : . - - Resolved, That the recent increased interest in the defects and wants of the mail service in the South, and the ef forts of the rresident and bis Cabinet, andfof the members of the po3tal cox- mittee appointed by Congress to ob tain full and accurate information in that regard to the end that ample ustice may be done, meets with our hearty and unqualified approval. 2. ; That i whilst the postal service should not become too great a burthen upon the government, and, as lar as practicable, should be made self-sus taining, still a due regard to the inter est of the whole people demands that economy do not become parsimony, and that such additional appropriations be made byCongrees as will enable all to obtain a benefit from the public mon ey expended, in the mail service. , Resolved . That the value and im portance ; of the trade between the- United States and the various States and colonics upon this, comment and its islands lying south ,of. the ; United States,, and also the important coun tries " reached across ''the . Isthmus of Panama, and the advantages in speed, convenience '. and economy,' wnicn would result to Our postal communi cations with - those-countries, justify and require , th e , immediate ; establish ment of steam communication between the most convenient Southern ports-of this country and the ports of RiO Janeiro, Havana and Aspinwall, respectively.- 1 2. That the corporate authorities oi the various longitudinal railroads com posing the lines ot direct, transporta tion between the Southern ports and the f commercial centres of the West and North, as well as the representa tives of other interests concerned in the trade and postal intercourse be tween the United States and the coun tries referred to, are respectfully urged to combine in a co-operative move ment to establish forthwith an efficient steam service between such Southern ports as may be selected and the ports of Rio Janeiro, Havana and Aspinwall, respectively. ' ; - 6. That the Congress ot the United States and the postal department are respectfully requested to afford aid and encouragement to the above designat ed' enterprises by means of liberal mail contracts and such appropriate legislation as may be consistent with the constitutional powers and policy of the government. To the Honorable the tstnite and House of Representatives: The memorial of the -officers and members of the convention assembled at Old Point Comfort, in Virginia, on the 25th of July, 1877, respectfully shows: J5irst, That the said conven tion is composed of delegates repre senting cities and towns in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina. Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Ala bama, : Mississippi and Louisiana, and that from similarity of circumstances, and needs, it is believed that the con vention is also fairly representative of the postal condition and wants of the States of West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. Second. That throughout the im mense area covered by those otates, the postal service of the government is less complete and efhcient than it is in other parts of the Union, and quite inadequate to the needs of tbe people. Third. That these needs are not only commercial, local and social in thier character, but they also embrace those higher wants developed by the activi ties of the age. The wants of quick communication with the great centres of modern thought. The want of more general and prompt newspaper circu lation, and of closer participation in the discussion of topics of wide or of national interest. Fourth. That it is in the power of the government to supply these needs bj bringing the postal service within tbe territory here represented up to the level of its efhciency elsewhere, and to this end we respectfully ask that the Postoffice Department be authorized and enabled to . provide for greater speed in the transmission of our mail, greater promptness in their dispatch and delivery, and more frequent and trustworthy communication with out lying points. f ifth. That the following important measures be provided for : . First, The establishment of a limited mail service passing through Washington and con necting the great cities of the Atlantic and Gulf States from Boston to New Orleans. - Second, The establishment of other through, or trunk lines of fast mail' communication between such points in the East, North , and North west, on the one hand, and such points on the Southeast, South and Southwest on the other, as will bring the benefit of such lines within reach of tbe largest populations, and the most important centres of trade and influence. Third, The establishment of lines of quick transportation with railroad ' postof fices, subsidiary to the above described limited mail and trunk lines, and ope rated in close connection with them. Fourth, The extension of railroad post offices over the mail routes within the area of the above named States Fifth, The extension and improvement of the star service,, of the service by river and coasting steamboats, and of country mails generally throughout this area. Sixth,- The establishment, on some sub stantial basis, of . mail., contracts of steamship lines between the Southern seaports' and the porta of South Ameri ca, Central America and : the West In dies.- ,'jvsi:, . , . . :. Your memorialists respectfully ask that their . denciencies and needs as above set forth be carefully considered by your honorable bodies, and that such measures of relief and amend ment be provided as may be found to be' consistent with that.' impartiality which should characterize the admin istration of such a government as ours A uoeer uirl.

Exceptional interest was excited by the appearance of the next speaker. Dr. . Hoge.ol Richmond. f He stepped upon the platform a tall," spare, mus cular man, of a i military type v of physidue, and features bronzed by ex posure to the blazing heat of a southern sun. His manner at starting: was almost painfully deliberate, and the cool ' self-restraint s with which he sur veyed his audience and measured his ground before he opened, his lips, deepened the interest; which attended the beginning oi his speecn. - com mencing with a graceful, compliment to the chairman, admirable -in it? spirit and perfect in manner; he dallied r- ;.iL i2- -.t- - i; i xur a nine Willi iis uujeutao liyeiy and almost gay homer, and then, ming ling pathos wtth hum or with the happi est ease, he set forth with dignity and breadth of view not inconsistent with great intensity and emotional excite ment, -the leading "points of his many sided subject the simplicity and scriptural character vf Presbyterian ism, its expansiveness and adaptation, and its vfriendly aspect' to . other churches, ' Perhaps the most interest ing part of an address, which; through out was admirable, was that in which the - speaker, tracing his descent, claimed a connection on the one side with the v French ' Huguenots, and on the other" with the Covenanters of Scot land. The military ring of Dr. Hoge's speech. which left the'house strung up almost to battle fever, had scarcely ceased when, ; under ' the genial, rol licking humor of Mr. Henderson, of Ballarat.' rthe council became first jovial over the- comparative claims upon. xwlinburg hospitality, of Ameri can and Australian churches, and then fervid in the interests of christian, and more especially Presbyterian union. An interesting poii.t of law has arisen in MrKean county, Illinois, and is, . exciting very general atten tion all over the country. It seems the judge of the district, while presiding at a murder trial, temporarily vacated his seat, and with the consent of the pris oner's counsel, placed a well known member of the bar in his stead. The prisoner was convicted; but appealed his caie to the Supreme Court of the State, which held : that the absence of the district judge for a time, however short, was illegal, and that neither the prisoner nor his counsel could make the substitute of another man legal by their consent. The higher court has therefore decided that the accused has had no legal trial, and that the cere mony will have to begone over once more before his guilt or innocence can be established. Impressive Silence. A writer in the London Magazine says he doos not know any man who can be as silent as Gen. Grant with equal , effect. He remarks that Gen. Grant has a stern, steadfast way of regarding an interlo cutor which suggests that if his tongue were loosed he could rather astonish him with his eloquence. A great English wit, Coleridge, perhaps, re marked that he dined once with a man at some public gathering whose, high forehead and profound silence greatly impressed him. He was inclined to think him a person of remarkable in tellect until the dessert, consisting of apple dumplings, was brought in, and the great unknown, clapping his hands, exclaimed: "Them's the jockeys for me." The Mule Train Susan B. and George Francis. At the Gould and Curry mine they have at work a mule whose business it is to . draw a train of cars to the waste-dump. The mule has been christened "George Francis Train." He hauls two cars, each con taining two tons of waste rock. The boys are confident that with his present name the mule will never get out of wind. At the Sutro tunnel they; have a mule called Susan B. Anthony. It is said that when she starts she moves heaven and earth, though earth isall that she is at present required to move. It is expected that the animal will live forever. "Other People's Children," by the author and father of "Helen's Babies," have made their appearance, or, rather, its appearance. It is a good deal larger than the book that began to make such a furore a year ago, and John Habberton manages ' Other Peo ple's Children," as well as he did "Helen's Babies." Instead of chron icling Toddie's sad death, as at first an nounced, that bright and vivacious child continues immortal in fun, mis chief and happiness. The Propagation of Fish. Mr. Willie Kerr, the agent , of the fish commission, brought to the department of agricul ture, yesterday, a number of bottles containing matter giving a practical illustration Of the different stages of the propagation of shad. The stages were 20 hours after impregnation, 30 and 40 hours and four days. ; At 80 hours the eggs are visible and at four days the fish, not quite so long and thick as a pin, are visible., In this latter state they are deemed: fit to be put in the water for stocking ; purposes. Raleigh News, 27th. ; s ; , ; A Solace for the Aged. j j y In the decline of life, as the vigor of the system wanes," and infirmities attack it to which in every life it was a stranger, - the use of a safe medicinal, stimulant is highly advisable. Nothing, as experience shows, is so admirably adapted to the wftnts of old people as Hostetter's Stomach; .Bitters. It is a real solace to the aged, and the best safeguard they can possibly use against the complaints : to which they are peculiarly liable. : It invigorates the bod; and cheers the mind, is pure, agreeable and effective. Rheumatism, lumbago and gout are more frequently developed in age than in youth or middle life. ' Hostetter's Bitters are an excellent remedy for those painful disorders, and also lor tify the; system against them. They never create undue excitement, are gentle in their action and; are. infinitely purer than the unmedicated stimulants of commerce. ........ Lari d Agen cy .
