A Disappointed Editor.
There is excellent sense in the following,
from a late number of the Pittsburgh Morning
Post, the editor of which was a candidate for
the post office of that city. It is fall of the
right spirit. BARB, you bad better be inde
pendent in the Post than dependent in the
pobt office. It will teach your children the
healthy . lesson that It is a great deal better to
sot np and distribute their own letters than to
be made slaves by distributing the letters of
others. We copy:
We shall endeavor to be comfortable under the
circumstances, and take this public manner of re.
terming oar sincere thanks to those of our friends
who bate from the start labored with disinterest
ed zeal for onr advancement. Wo have shared
the fate of two of our predecessors in the Morn
tar Post, who were applicants for the same posi

induced to publish• the unwritten history of this
case, we can and will show, bow the counsel of
one or two men proved more powerful than the
expressed wiehee of thousands of Domoorate,
rank and file, demanding an opposite course.
We can further promise that we will not at
tempt that which in impossible, break up the De.
morello party, or that which is within our reaoh,
leave it. Our Democracy has deeper root and
healthier ground. We have some sins to answer
for in the newspaper line, which it will be our
concern to atone for hereafter, the greatest of

should help to make great men out of very small

General Ordets from Washington.
Among the many correspondents from the
Federal City, for the newspapers, we notice in
the Bedford (Pa.) Gazelle a series of well.
written letters over those familiar initials G.
W. B.—meaning, as lie himself informs the
reader, General G. W. BOWMAN, at present
the excellent superintendent of the public
printing of Congress and the Departments.
General BOWMAN was himself the editor of
the Bedford Gazette for many years, and
an excellent paper he made of it. He is
now at Washington, but does not forget his
old county, nor his old journal. Associated
as he 'ls in. terms of exceeding intimacy with
Judge BLACK', the Attorney General, whose
home is the neighboring county of Somerset,
General Bowman is enabled to speak by tho
card, and cathedra, which facts render
his productions alike interesting and authori
tative. His last letter, dated Washington,
August 2, and published in the Bedford Ga

significance, which we copy as follows, as an
item of important news

A Prolonged Trial.
' The Jury empanelled to try what is called
t' The Kirkpatrick Poisoning Case," retired
to their room, on Thursday afternoon, to de
liberate upon their verdict. On Saturday, after
having been out for nearly forty.eight
hOurs without coming to any agreement, they
were sent back, and are to reappear in Court
at ten o'clock this forenoon. The impression
was that they would not give any verdict, and
must be discharged.
Ono month and a day have been occu
plod by this single case—the trial of which
commenced so far back as July 7th. The pa
tience of Judge AV1.19011, who presided, is only
equalled by that of the unfortunate jury. We
call them unfortunate, because most, if not
all, of them" are In business, which cannot
have been forwarded by losing the advantage
of the principal's eye for a period of thirty
four days.
It seems to us, and wo know that this opinion
generally prevails, that time has been sadly
wasted during this trial. We aro persuaded,,
from the newspaper reports of the evtdence
and of the speeches of counsel, that the case
might have been compactly condensed into a
few days. Numerous witnesses, proving pre
cisely tho same things, are wficeqsary snd
delay the case very mue s li. Then the trial,
when in full progress, wan, adjourned for se
veral days, because a juryman's near relative
had died. Independent of this delay, the pro
longed suspense of the accused should have
been considered.
The speeches of Counsel wore not exces
sively long, considerlrg the importance of tir
case. The Judge's charge to the 'Jury was
clear and concentrated, avoiding wordiness
and repetitions. The prolongation of the
trial was caused, so far as we can fudge, from
the excess of evidence. We can well under
stand how, in a case of life and death, the hu
manity of a judge may make him admit much
evidence which realty does not forward the
object of the trial-_—namely, to ascertain the
innocence or guilt of the accused.
Long trials, which used tobe the exception,
now seem to bo becoming the yple. A month
and three days over one case does appear a
great trial of patience for judge, jury, pri
soners, witnesses, and reporters.

LETTER FROM II OLCASIONAL.”
fOorreepondence of The Press 7 -."'
WASHINGTON, August 8, 1858
If the opposition party bad been guilty of a
mistake, and subsequently a persistent and pro
seriptive policy, like that of Lecompton, the De
mocrats would have driven them to the wall,
spiked their guns, captured their Sag, and • taken
their whole army captive. And yet, for dot ap
plauding this policy, Colonel Forney, your bead
is to some off! Let ue look at this bad business
in the full light of the broad sunshine furnished
by the late vote in Kansas. The Democratic
party has not done this thing : and yet we aro
told it has. Who is the Democratic party? The
President and hie Cabinet? No The Senate?
No. The House ? No. The Demooratio MONS
constitute the party. Did they originate thi s
miserable Lecompton ? No. Are they responsi
ble for It? No. Will they approve it? Never.
Then, it was started not by the people, but by their
servants; not by the creators, but by the crew.
tures. And dare these latter make of their
blunders a test upon those who made them?
That remains to be tried. The Democratic party
is not responsible for a policy which, if persevered
in, will crush all that approve it; and if that
party would not tolerate such a policy in its
enemies, it certainly will not do so in those who
attempt to perpetrate it in the name of Demo
cracy.
At this writing it looks as if the English bribe
had been rejected by about fifteen thousand. The
public feeling was wrought up to the highest
pitch. What is most significant is the fact that al
number of Southern Democrats voted against it
a number from the extreme South. Stanton made
the Territory ring with his appeals against it.
There is a very disgusting warfare going on
about Col. Benton, over his grave, by W. Carey
Jones, his not very distinguished son-in-law, and
the F. P. Blaine, old and young—ho of Silver
Spring, Md , (near this city,) and young Prank, of
St. Louis. Duff Green has rung himself into the
quarrel; and you may expect other participants no
the dispute widens. It is absurd to say that Col.
Benton over approved the Kansas policy of Mr.
Buohanan since it was changed. Col. Benton sup
ported Mr. Buchanan for President, and opposed
Col. Fremont; but he did this avowedly to
avoid the very result which Mr. Buchanan's
change of front has brought about. Benton
never was the personal friend of President
Buchanan, but he supported him from high public
reasons in 1856; nor has he been friendly to Douglas
for many years, but ho applauded him for his pro
test against Leoompton. These are patent facts,
and any attempt to gainsay them will only react
on the heads of their authors.
On the first of August, 1817, the Washington
Union Bald:
"The real issues between Governor Walker and
his assailants aro, fleet, as to whether the State
Constitution about to be framed shell or shall not
be submitted to the people of Kansas, and, second,
who are the people of Kansas. Governor Walker
takes the ground that the Constitution should be
submitted to a direct vote of the people. The
Union has sustaineet,and trill continua to sus
tain, the Governor in this position."
This is rather a reminiscence.
In the great speech of Judge Douglas, at Paris,
Illinois, on the 31st July, he Is said to have ter
ribly chinned Wendell 4 Co. A gentleman now
here, who was present, says there were at least five
thousand persons present, and that Douglas was
never so eloquent. Look out for the report of this
speech.

are the following:

No PHILADELPHIA REPRESENTATION.—It
has now been clearly determined that no Phila
delphia companies will be present at Camp Sus
quehanna, at Williamsport, in ° September. The
impression which at first existed that those attend
ing the encampment would receive sufficient com
pensation to defray all expenses has bean dis
pelled by recent discussions of the subject, and by
the explanatory letter of Adjutant General Wil
son. If anything liko the number of military
anticipated should be in attendance, it has
been (dearly demonstrated by facts and figures
there would not be funds in the treasury sufficient
to pay a tithe of the sum which the provisions of
the law authorise. Nor would the amount
realized from the military taxes in the state
for the entire year defray the expenses;
besides whieb, according to the law, as
plainly provided and interpreted by the Adjutant
General, the military fund of the district in which
a camp of instruction is bold can alone be drawn
' upon for the purpose. Nor can any expenditures
of the State military be defrayed out of any other
fund—not excepting even the salary of the Adju
taut General himself. The development of these
feels will have a tendency to make Camp Susque
hanna a much leee imposing affair than was anti
cipated.
A number of our general ofacere, however, will
bu in attendance, and share in the military glories
to be won upon the ooeasion.
NEW CrrY MAREET.—The new and Dean,
tiful briar market building, at Broad and Baca
streets, we are gratified to see, is having its stalls
rapidly occupied by butchers and hucksters. On
Saturday morning the market was thronged by
purchasers, who prefer to have clean steaks and
chops to those which are already peppered with
the dust of that busy thoroughfare, Market street.
There appears to be a pretty general movement
towards the scouring of stalls in the new market,
in view of the contemplated removal of the un
sightly old sheds on the old market ground ; and
we may confidently look for an early vamosing of
those miserable old rancheaby both seller and pur
chaser of odiblps. It was understood,. some time
since, that an arrangement had been completed by
whioh these shade were to be speedily removed;
but recent appearances seem to indicate a postpone
=ant of their removal to some indefinite period.
If time has beenany arrangement by which this
event has been postponed, theA will be great dis
appointment felt—a feeling which it will not re
quire long to grow into loud and persistent mut
terings. As our City Councils meet again on
Thursday, their attention will doubtless be dl
rooted to the subject, -
F4LaaAux.—The alarm of fire between I
eight and nine o'clock, last evening, was caused
by the blazing of a bonfire, at Broad and Little
Washington streets. The State House bell was
not rung, but quite a number of fire companies
had a run for nothing.
A. slight fire warred yesterday morning be
tween ten and eleven o'clock, on the premises of
Thomas Fatly, on Frankford road and Vienna
street. The fire was occasioned by the burning
of a hen-coop adjoining a stable on the promisee,
which was filled with shavings for the purpose et
bedding horses. Borne youngsters were playing
about the shavings, one of whom had some matches,
which be ignited, and set fire to the shavings,
which soon created quite a blaze. Some one in
the neighborhood seeing the blaze, struck the
alarm box, upon which the greater part of the
fire department was brought out. The alarm was
entirely unnecessary, as a huoket of water ex
tinguished the flames.
At about half-post three o'clock, yesterday, on
Tenth street and Ridge avenue, a fire broke oat
in the third awry of a building, occupied as a ail•
ver•plating establishment. The sash was oom•
pletely burned, and the building greatly endan
gered. The Brat floor is occupied as a hardware
store, the second as a daguerreotype gallery, the
third as a silver-plating, ant the fourth as a oar
ver's establishment. The damage is estimated at
some $2OO to $3OO.
Hox Nox TIM ADJECTIVE.—We have no
adjective which will aid us in properly describing
the warmth, at mid-day, of the last few days
Before justice can be done the subject, some mono
forcible word to express the.hoat will .havo to be
coined. To say that it is hot will not exactly do,
for it has been hot before. The •earth is burned
and baked, notwithstanding pretty copious show
ers within the last ten days, until it resembles a
huge brick-kiln ; the en,, shines down upon us
like a furnace, and the sky seems a vault of brass;
the winds seem afraid to stir, lest they might,
Icarlus-like, have their wings melted off.

The earth h gaping, with ten thousand months,

for a cooling shower. The very clouds that float
so lastly about seem overcharged with beat; and
it is no relief for them to come between the earth
and the god of fire. The hue of summer is depart.
ing from earth, and verdure le fading from the
trees. It is not the sober livery of autumn that
takes its place, but a fiery yellow;or a pale and
sickly-looking green. Yesterday was an improve
ment on Saturday, and originated' hopes of a
shower.
A NEW BUSINESS STAND.—One of the most
neatly fitted up and conveniently arranged bust.
news stands in the city. is that of Messrs. Me.
Cawley, Brother, t Brewster, 23 North Fourth
street. The house was formerly occupied by u
drug store, on the first floor. and offices above. The
whole building has been remodelled, and fitted up
with all the modern improvements, and the five
stories are now occupied by these gentlemen for
their wholesale hosiery, glove, and fanny goode
trade. From the third story projects the most
magnificent and huge pair of elk horns we have
ever seen, while in the oounting•room is a similar
decoration, both of whioh serve as a designating
feature of the pleas. Thegentlemluely proprietors
have a very pretty assortment of " notions" on
hand, and in a few days will open a very large
and complete stock for the fall trade. Their prin
cipal business is with Southern merchants; but
their advertisement will be found in to-day's
Press, announcing themselves RH candidates for
general business favors.
3IEETING or FIEESEN.—On Saturday eve
ning a Convention of firemen was held, which
excited no little interest. The meeting was com
posed of twenty-seven companies, and met at the
house of the Diligent Engine Company, for the
purpose of taking action in regard to tho selection
of a candidate fur Chief Engineer of the Fire De
partment, in opposition to the present incumbent,
S. P. Fearon, Quito an animated discussion took
place, the participants being representatives
from the Washington Engine, Hope Hose, Empire
look and Ladder, and Fairmount Engine Com
panies. No definite oonclusion was arrived at,
and the Convention adjourned to meet et some
future occasion. The proceedings, as published
in the Sunday papers, are quite lengthy, and we
forego their publication for the want of apace.
ODDFELLOWSUIP.—We learn from the Grand
Secretary's printed report that there are 44,119
members of the order in this State, belonging to
508 lodges. There were relieved during the past
year 5,854 brothers and 642 widowed families
The number of brothers buried amounted to 375
Total amount paid for relief, $113,091 75. The
largest amount expended for relief by any aingle
lodge was $2,942, by Kensington Lodge, No. 11,
Guttenberg Ledge, No. 108, reports 448 members
being the highest number. Lancaster Lodge, No,
07, has a membership of 327, being the largest out
side of Philadelphia.
&IMAM AFFAIR --,I ADSAVLTED.—
At a late hour on Saturday night, a woman named
Kate Logue was brutally assaulted et New Market
and Pegg streets, In the Eleventh ward, by a man
named John Chambers and his wife. She was in
jured to such an extent that her life is despaired
of. The wounds, which are said to be of a fright
ful character, wore inflicted upon the head by
a porter bottle. Medical aid was procured and
the wounds dressed, but death is considered as the
inevitable result. The assailants were arrested
and taken to the Seventh district etation-houne,
to await a hearing.
ANOTIIER ACCIDENT.—An Irishman, named
Patrick Morris, engaged in the coal yard of Den
nis Heenan, Willem street, below Fifteenth, was
run over by a cart loaded with onal, on Saturday,
and almost instantly killed. Milhaud was shook
ingly crushed, the scalp being laid_ entirely open,
and a portion of the brain protruding. He was a
single man, sober and industrious. The Coroner
held an inquest upon the body on Saturday after
noon, when a verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts.
NEW COMPANY—A now company has lately
been organised under the nerve of the " Livingston
Guards," in the Twenty-fourth ward,and are said to
number sixty. two members. An election for
officers was held a few days ago, when the, follow
ing gentlemen were chosen :—Csptaln, Phillip
Lowry, Jr. ; First Lieutenant, William Leeoh;
Second Lieutenant, Jaeob Conrad. We shall
pay our reepeote to them es soon as they parade.
ROBBERY.—William Sewell, alas William
Smith, was before Alderman Carter on Saturday
morning, on the charge of robbing B. S. Bennett
of a watch. The time piece had been pawned
andwas recovered. The aroused was committed
to answer at court.
BoYJuntn.—X boy, named George Kel
ly, fell from an apple tree, in the Fifteenth ward,
fracturing hie arm, and otherwise injuring him
self. lie was taken to the Fourteenth-ward sta
tion.
INJUBT.D.—On Saturday morning, a man
named Henry Devlin wee run over by a oart, at
Girard avenue and Reading railroad, and severely
injured. Be ITU taken to the Nittoontiraard eta•
tic% hVIII9.
Manama Ennon.—The new steam engin
ordered by this company is being rapidly ihrthered
to completion. The engine will -be larger than
the Philadelphia, and will be taken to fires by
horse power. The cylinder will be 11 inches in
diameter, with 14 inobee stroke. The pump will
be ei inches bore, by 14 inches stroke. The tubes
of the boiler will be of copper, and of large sire.
Copper tubes have an . advantage over Iron, by
being less affected by sulplittr in the coal. Tho
power of the engine, when in operation, will be
about 15 or 25 horses.
The house of the company will be unsuited to
the new apparatus, and they will be under the
necessity of making material alterations to F , a
commodato the "steamer." They will also incur
considerable expense for horses, harness, /to. The
cast will exceed, considerably, their calculations,
and they find that there is a balance of $2,000 atilt
required to make up the amount necessary for the
payment of the expanses incident to the sums
ful completion of the whole'affair.
Under these oiroumstanoes, the company last
week appointed a committee to make further col
lections from the citizens. As they are located in
a neighborhood where much valuable property is
exposed to danger from fire, we cannot but hope
the rich merobants, bankers, brokers, insurance
companies, business men, property holders, ship•
ping and etoamboat proprietors, eta., located with
in the vicinity and interested in the enterprise of
the company, will not fail to contribute freely
to make up the balance of about $2,000 still re
quired. ,
