Most of those now arrayed against the Con

If our readers , on the Pacific coast will turn

Cemileresiiie measures—they will find that no
thing =but accident prevented these very men
frcim Making .an issue with the Federal Go
veranient because the petition of California to
join the sisterhood_ of States was agreed to.
Oarsit bepomible, then, that California will
allow those Who resisted her admission into
the Union to drive her away, from the cham
pion; Midirom the_ iag of Popular Sovereignty,
'and to place, her under the black banner of Dis
union?, • The people of California ought or, re

earnestly opposed' the admission of that State
into, the' Union 11 1849-69, because she came
in upon the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty,
'dew expect • her to unite with them In their
prepared purpose of breaking up this 'llepub
lie. What have these, skim men done for
California? What great Interest have, they
promoted in which she, as wellas the Palle
coast, is concerned ? While the two great par
ties, have 'been committed in their leading
Conventieneof 1862 and '66, to the construc
tion of thePaellia railroad, has net all the op
position to that important improvement come
froarthe very men new calling upon the peo
ple of California and 'Oregon, and Washington
.Territory' to sestet - them In the' secession
movement? The representatives from those
tire Statee ant that one Territory,With two
memorable expeptions in the 'last'Congress,
I have rather yielded the interests of the Paci
fic coast to a disposition to serve a recreant
Administration, and now these representatives
are asking of the American people , resident in
that quarter of the Union to come forward and
endorse the Administration they have served.
Late intelligence from the Pacific leads us
to'hope for a better, result in California than
the triumph of the Breckhuidge ticket in the
coming Presidential election. In Oregon the
corruptions of the Administration,.the delibe
rate murder of. the scandalous
proposition of Liss, commanding 'the dele
gates from that State et Charleston to leave
the Convention, and to follow the very men
who have always resisted the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty—these manifestations'
have' erected e great party, which at the list
ehietionlefeated LANE and his partisans ; and
we now trust to see, filth° next Senate. of the
United States, such a Senator from Oregon as
will furnish a flt contrast to the present Hilts
rate'sid shameless candidate of the Disunion
party , for Vice President. We hope the
voters on the Pacillecoast, whether from the
Keystone State, or emigrating from Ohio, In
diana; Illinois, 'or any part of the great North-
West, will remember their chief duty in this
important struggle—and that is, so to vote as
to prevent the Disunionists from obtairdngthe
electoretvote of Oregon and California. .
The Accident at Atlantic City.
The frequent recurrence of accidents simi
lir to that which occmried at Atlantic City, on
Wednesday, demands that some provielon
should promptly be made to prevent them. As
we remarked yesterday, there were few bathers
duriig the remainder of the day after the
catastrophe. Cannot the proprietors of the
hoteli and bathing houses see in this fact any
inducement to the • adoption of measures by
which lives may be preserved? Two gentle
men, who heard the cries of Mr., Rsnair , s
friend, ran instantly for a , boat, but they were
informed that there was ' none nearer than the
tc Inlet? and no rope could be procured until
it was too late. There were a sufficient num
ber of gentlemen' bathing within a circuit of
one hundred yards of where Mr. amour sank
to hive formed a lino, by grasping hUnds, to
have, reached from the shore to the drown
ing man, yet 'it was impossible to com
municate with 'them, ,and the most • of
the bathers., were entirely unconscious of
the accident until they. reached the Shore.
The hOghter and merriment of soma of the
bathers, and the occasional screams of others,
in addition to the almost deafening roar of the
breakers, made ;communisation with those
bathing out of the question. Even those who
were nearest were unable to tefi for some time
whether the cries they heard wore sportive or
otherwise; they could see the man but a mo
ment, for the breakers hid him from their view,
except as be rose on a wave. It the keeping
'of surf-bolts, with trained crews, be too ex
pehaive,,let some simpler measures be adopted
to shim -at least some regard for human life.
The 'visitors to•Athintie City should take this
matter in hand, and demand that some safe
guards be throvm around them 'whilst bathing
if no concert of action can be had by the hotel
proprietors, let the boarders themselves insti
tute some measures. The expense would be
smatter of no moment,' and would be so trifling
to each individual that none would ref ise to
contribute.
Air. Bane= could have been saved by a
light plank , or by a light . Coil of rope., Let
each batbin&bouse at least have these articles
In readiness for an emergency; if a plank ban
not Be pushed through, the, surf, any ordinary
sairanier could carry out a cork attached to a
light line, inefficiently strong to draw two per-
Sons through the breakers; and but few would
hesitate, when. they had the assurance that
on becoming, exhausted, they would be drawn
Wifely to ehore. As it is, it requires an ezioeii
enced swimmer, of great physical power, to
buffet the btesiers - with' an exhausted man,
who Would be optfo'cling to his rescuer, and
imperil both lives. We repeat, therefore; let
those cm the spot , act in this matter at once.
It ii idle to , depend entirely on the asser
tion that persons 'should not venture too, far
out. person thinks he is in dingeitill he
finds it too late. Not a. day passes but per
sons venture'aelar ont as poor &nem. Du
ring eertsilis.cenditions of the wind and tide a
person may unconsciously get farther out than
be wishes." Hundreds will refuse to avail
themselves of the delightfid advantages of
tea-bathing; when• they hear of a young Man
drowned within s. comparatively short dis
tance of the shore, and.. that-'there' are no
Memo whatever to prevent a repetition of the
mane melantholy event. Let our friends at
Atientliftitilook to this natter. Atlantic
Oitihas'been singularly fortunate in the mat

bathing ;at this resort IS unusually sate and de
lightful, and to this' fact may probably be at

Engagement of Mr. Edwin Forrest.
:good many mistakes have been made by the
New y or k i w iss:fp,'regar4 to the forthcoming
engagement of Mr. FoRiEsT in the leading
It is nit trite that he has ever announced
has determination to act no more. He has only
stated that he could not act in one or two named
cities. Nor is it true that Mr. FORREST
sill begin in New York, on the seven
teenth of September. Ott the contrary, he
will commence his engagement in Baltimore,
under the management of Mr: FORD. Having
been absent from the stage for some years, he
ivfli thus have an opportunity to train and pre
pare his voice. His next appearance will be
in Boston, after that in New York, and heiwill
conclude in Philadelphia, at the Academy of
!Aisle. Mr. FORREST will act only' three
nights in every week, and as it is stated that his
' engagement is for tie hundred nights—
which we greatly doubt—he could not well
appear in Philadelphia until some time in the
fall of 1861.
We think' it is Mr. Foaaasr's expectation
to present a series of superior Shalcspearian
personations, at the Academy &Music, in pa
city, early in February, 1861, after having 'got
through with Baltimore, Boston, and New
York. 11e has happily reserved himself for
his own native city, and will, no doubt, see
to it that the company by which he is to be
sustained is of the first order. While not
disposed, to interfere with the gentleman who
hair offered •the very liberal terms', which he
has itecePted, we have no doubt Mr. FORREST
Will insist upon ouch a company as will make
his engagement worthy' of hia fame and to
the expectation of the country.
MiASHINGTON CORILESSONDUCE
Letter how. didocasioual.”

if John Gavotte and his eolleagues had desired it,
they could have opened • a number of other rich
mines in the course of their investigations. The
manner in whiob the new census in being taken by
the United States marshals has furnished a fine
field for the genius of inquiry. I learn from an
undoubted source, but I am not able to reveal my
authority, that more naafi one of the United States
marshals have selected their assistants with a lin
dna view , to the promotion of their own interests.
This a person Is chosen to take the Genus in a
certain dietnet upon the understanding that, as an
equivalent for his isppoinhnent, he is to pay over
to the marshal, or to some friend of his, one-half
the fees received' under the law for Molt services.
In this way there is no telling how, in populous
States, the inoome of 'the head dicier may be
swelled. I saw a ostentation the other day show
ing that one hundred thousand dollars could be
made by a certain marshal by this process. In the
competition for these places plenty of Men have
doubtless been found ready to make the ariange
meat referred to.
One of the gentlemen sent forward by the Dis
union National Committee to collect funds in the
North and Northwestern States of tho Union, has
returned and made a report. Ile got little or no
money, but is said to have expressed his tortes°
at seeing how enthusiastioally the Democracy of
the North and Northwest rally to the flag of
Douglas.
The rapid disappearance of slavery from the
State of Delaware occasions a geed deal of cote
ment--partionlarly when it is recollected that,
under the lead of Mr. Senator Bayard, an attempt
has been made to convert the Democracy of Dela
ware into the most abject 'submission to the doc
trines and demands of the fire-eaten of the cotton
States. Mr. Bayard is one of the extremists .of
the , pro-slavery leaders In the 'United States
Senate, and yet he is a representative of a State
in which there is not only very little slavery, but
a growing sentiment in favor of freedom.
The heat in Washington since Monday last has
been intense. The consequence has been to render
the town duller than ever, and to make it almost
impossible to obtain information. OoomnonaL.

Mr. Forrest's engagement with Mr. Ninon to no
longer a matfor of unoertainty. The engagement
has positively been made. It is for twolundred
nights, and will commence on or about the 17th of
September at Niblo's Garden, wader the auspices
of Mfr. Nixon himself. After playing a specified
number of nights here, Mr. P. will visit the prin
cipal cities North and. South. The publio will hail
with delight this rwsppeareamkof the most gifted
of American• tragedians. Mr. Forrest stand - iiow
without a peer in his profession, at home or abroad,
and his wonderful. impersonations of the loftier
characters of the drama wilt draw to the theatre

I had a half-hoer'a chat last evening with Mr.
Paul Murphy, and quite naturally alluded to the
reports in eiroulation of his proposed visit to, and
future residence in, Paris. Me eaaeree WO that there
never was the slightest foundation for the Motor,
and that he has at no time entertained serious
thoughts of abandoning hie resident. in the United
States. Ile propeees to spend several weeks at
Saratoga, whither he goes on Saturday; thence to
Newport, where be will remain some time longer;
from Newport he will return to New York, and
regulate his further movements aetiopiing to
circumstances. It is a little singular that
one so fond of chose, and its greatest
living master, as Mr. Murphy le, should not
have played more than a hall dozen games during
the last year ; yet snob, be informs ins, is the fact.
I asked him if look of practice made any diffe
rence in hie play? His reply was, not in the least,
and that he could probably play as strong a game
at that moment as be over played in his life. It
msy be some satisfaction to ohess,players to know
that the statements I now make in referents to hie
leaving the country are on his authority and re
quest.
The book publishers are making ready for a
large fall trade. The leading bonzes have each•
nearly as many works in press as they can com
fortably look after. The Harpers, unable to meet
the demands of their onstomers by the daily and
nightly running of half a hundred power presses,
have been compelled to order several more. It is
difficult to say at what point this mammoth estab
lishment, now the largest in either hemisphere,
will limit its operations. So thoroughly is it sys
tematised in every part, that the casual vieltor,
on taking a seat in the quiet space railed off on the
Fraithlin Square side of the building, would scams
ly believe that within its walls a thousand busy
hands were at work putting together bOoks treat
ing on almost every subject within the range of
English or classical literature._
The Brookinridge Convention at Syracuse was a
curious gathering—in some respects unlike any po
litical convention ever held In the State of New
York. It is the first State Convention where a
roll of the members has not been published. The
reason for this singular and unprecedented omis
sion, is probably to be found in the fact that in
not one-fifth of the counties in the State were die
trict conventions held for the appointment of dele
gates. Here and there a few persons got together,
and agreed that someone of them should act as dale•
gate, but in not one single Instance, so far as I can
ascertain, was a delegate to the Convention 'ap.
pointed pursuant to a call from the regular Demo,
°ratio organisation of the district or county ; and

PROCRXDINGS or vie COMMITEN.
The committee meet at 3 o'clock P. M., In the
Chapel building, President Welsh in the chair B.
B. Burnham, secretary. nixty-nine members
answered to their names.
President Welsh opened the proceedings in a
speech expressing gratification at mak a large at
tendance, showing the interest felt by the commit
tee in the present condition of the Democratic
party. For himself, the tuition of that committee
had reoeived his cordial approbation. Hie inten
tion had been solely to promote the interests of
the Democratic party, and he believed the notion
of the committee had received the support of the
masses throughout the State. He trusted that the
deliberations of the committee would be marked
with calmness and moderation. He had received
tatters from every part of the State approving of
the course adopted by the committee. For him
self, he was in favor of conciliation, and,hoped that
the electoral tioket would remain as it was.
Mr. Welsh announced that two members of the
committee had resigned, and he had appointed
Robert Anderson and Wm. C. Herron to supply
the vacancies. A. 0. Oetti had also resigned, and
Alfred Day had been appointed in Ids place.
Mr. Diffenbaoh, of Clinton, presented a resolu
tion declaring that it behooves all good Democrats
to stand by, the late decision of the committee.
Gen. Miller moved to amend by providing for
calling a new convention.
Mr. Immo Leech moved an amendment to the
amendment by providing for the reassembling of
the Reading Convention,
A vote was taken on this proposition, and it was
negatived—yeas 12, nape 69.
Mr. V. L.Bradihrd Bald he would vote in favor of
a new convention.
President Welsh said be was in favor of the
Reading electoral ticket, and would net vote for
its being mutilated. (Groat applause j
Mr. Chase moved to amend by a declaration
that the electors appointed at Reading are hereby
released from all obligati...lna, and requested to vote
for the regular nominees of the Baltimore apnoea.
Goa, Douglas and Johnson.
Mr. Hamilton claimed that this was out of order,
having been already acted en.
The president decided the amendment to be in
order, but Mr. Chase withdrew It temporarily.
A. committee appointed to invite General Feeler
to be present returned and reported that they had
not been able to tied him,
Alexander C. Fulton, of Armstrong 001;1145
moved to amend by the following resolution :
Received, That the action of the State Com•
mittee, on the RI of July, be rescinded, and that
the following be substituted :
-Resettled, That the Democratio electoral tickets
be heeded with the name of Douglas or Brachia. ,
ridge as oleoter:atlarge, and that in the evesea
iniesuocesa ornate trako, St_ !ha/treater nuartner of
votes shall have ,been oast for Donglas, then the
vote of the State shall be oast for Douglas and
Johnson; but if for Breekinridge, then Breektn•
ridge and Lane shall receive the electoral vote for
President and Vice President; and the chairman of
the connnitteo be (Mooted to require a pledge from
the electors, end if.any reuse, then his name Shall
be omitted.
Mr. Fulton said that he offered this as an olive
branob, which would certainly be favored in the
district ho represented, though, so far as be was
individually concerned, the former action of the
committee was acceptable, but it le impracticable.
With the people alone its adoption theta has been
only one sentiment in hie district, ttrid that was
disapprobation, and it is the same throughogt the
State. Will you accept the olive branch, or are
you determined to strangle the Democratic party ?
Give us the opportunity of expressing the honest
opinion of our choice.
Mr. Bateman was surprised at the rapidity with
which the hetelnese of the committee wag being
rushed throng],. The option pow tinder conside
ration was the most important that had ever cones
before a Democratic State Committee. ifs had
letters from Alabama and Texas, asking afixfornly
what course this committee would pursue. We do
not expect always to be separated. We mot come
again together—why not join together now? He
considered that the second of July resolutions were
impracticable, though be voted for them. The
friends of Douglas were opposed to aiding to throw
the election of Mr. Breakinridge Into the House,
and, though it may brewrosig, they seem willing to
lout the responsibility. lie believed the plan of
Mr. Fulton to ha the best under the eirountetanoes—
it will at least show the popular voice.
Mr: Bradford, of Philadelphia, said that his
first position would be a straight-out Brokinridge
ticket ; bat he would how to expediency, and ho
therefore thought the resolution of Mr. Balton
should be , edopted.
Mr. Fulton withdrew the latter portion of his
resolution requiring pledges from the etcetera
Mr. Carrigan, of Philadelphia, requested Mr.
Fulton to accept afurther provision, declaring that
if the candidate for whom the popular vote thus
cast cannot be elected with the veto of Penneye
vents, then that vote shall be given to the other
candidate of the Democratic party if it will elect
him, and only after these tests shall the cleanse
vote =lording to their private opinions.
Mr. Burnham (spoke In WO of the proved
proposition, considering the former action imprac
ticable.
Mr. Dieffenbaok (Dreeklnridge) said that if thil
gentlemen who voted against the late action of the
ocrnmitteo say they are wilting to receive Mr. Fut.
ten's compromise he would vote for it.
Mr. McDowell was willing to join hands in this
proposition, if the friends of Mr. Douglas wouk
meet him on it.
Gen. Wider (a strong friend of Douglas) definid
his position. be said that Mr. Fulton's propel
tion, as originally proposed, was truly an olive
branch, but the amendment of Mr. Carrigan carries
it too far.
Mr Johnson, of Cambria, desired Mr. Carrigan
to modify his amendment, fie wanted
_te Ode
that the people of the meuntalns spurn Mr. Ber
ney, though they favor Mr. Doas, and that tin
Dementia party might yet ha flayed, notwith
standing the nineteen of some.
Mr. Carrigan withdrew the latter part of tin
amendment, that only after the several tests named
shall the edeeters Oast their votes according to their
individual preferences, and modiaed it so as to
read simply that the vote /hall be oast for the or
didate who hue the majority of the vote in Its
State.
Mr. Carrigan. then called for the previous vas
tion amidst great confusion.
Mr. Welsh decided that Mr. Carrigan °Guidon
withdraw sny part of the original reolatien.
Mr. Balton however, withdrew it, and,
Carrigan having withdrawn the motion for y e
previous question, the committee took a tecessin
ten minutes to allow Mesera. Fulton, Catrigan,ard
Johnson to conealt on the ecuripromise resolution
and the amendments.
On reassembling, Mr. Stahl, of Armstrong, re
jected to changing the former ration of the oce
mittee, this resolution looking only to the same ad
—the casting of the vote of Pennsylvania for to
Dernocratio candidate receiving the highest vett
Mr. V. L. Bradford ) of Philadelphia, sold tht
ho was honest enough to confess that he believe:l,
that the Breektnridge platform was the correct r -
recantation of Democratic, prinelples, and that hr.
Breokinridge wee the real candidate of the part, ;
but he was satisfied that this feeling was not tn
of all the Democrats of this State,
and that Id.
-Douglas has been largely sustained by true me.
It sows, therefore, bat jest that we should obese
our action, and allow Democrats a Detritus if
choice. He strongly favored the compromise
traduced by Mr. Fulton.
Mr. Welsh wished to be satisfied that this gate
would be played fairly, if at alt. Ito had laths
from floe oleotore, declaring that they would o
vote for Mr. Douglas. The same was the case w it
one who had decided to vote only for Mr. Bret-
Madge. He could not see how the requiremete
of the present resolution would be more mitten
tory to some of these gentlemen, who pebbly
refused to pledge themselves.
On motiou the letters of those electors win t
inged to pledge themselves were read. The tat
was from J. le. Danner, donning that .he weld
pledge himself to vote for Douglas and Johnin
but declined making any fprthor pledges. I,etiri;
were read trope G. W. Jacoby, Wm. 8001t,,f
mud'Crawford, J. B. Howell, mud Gaylord Mut,
declaring their intention to vote for fr.
Douglas in any event in ease of their election, nd
positively declining to sign any pledge emanasr
from the State Committee. S. S. Winolieste 4 l
his letter, entered into a lengthy argument. e
believed the thirster' to be the instruments oldie
people. He stood pledged to the Reading Conan-
Lion, and would resign if the proper authories
requested him. H. N. Lee says he could noteee
how the action of the committee would pre**
harniony, or how the two branches of the pay
could go before the people on common greeds.
Re would not stand in the' way of (monism;
however, and would resign his position if now
eau.
Mr. Bradford said that, after hearing the Bar e
of the electors, he deemed it Imessisylfor amber
amendment requesting the chairmen of thle com
mittee to obtain from the eleotors their several and
distinct pledges of eaquiesconoe in the foregoing
reiolatlon, and to report the result of Ms notion at
a future meeting of this committee.
Mr.- Fulton said that such a proposition it wee
his original intention to inolude, but at the request
of some of the friends of Mr. Brookinridge he bad
not offered it, and could not now accept the amend
ment.
Mr. Bradford. Then, I must vote against your
resolution and proposition.
General Davis made a strong speech. He spoke
of the inegnality of this committee, which he sold
was unfairly constituted. Fifty-four out of the
ninety-six aSembere Caine from six districts. It
was rated by the Seceders. [Hisses.] It did not
represent the people fairly,
Mr. Monaghan arose to express his regret that the
spirit of conciliation seemed to be waning. It had
made his heart rejoice when be saw the strongest
representatives of the Breokinridge and Douglas
wings assenting to Mr. Fulton's compromise. He
intended to stand by the 2d of July compromise,
unless the ultraista shared the true spirit of con
ciliation. He would vote for Mr. Fulton's-compro
mise if the proper feeling Is shown.
Mr. Orieter, of Harrisburg, wanted Mr. Mona.
ghaa to preface his remarks with those be used on
the 2d of July, when he stood up and declared, with
his finger pointing to Heaven, that Douglas was
the regular nominee. [Laughter.] He then made
a strong Douglas speech.
Mr. Leech, of Philadelphia, moved to postpone
the further consideration of this subject until after
the second Tuesday of October. [Dries of yes, no,
and confnsiOn.] •
Mr. Ransom, of Fulton county, said that it
seemed impossible that this compromise could be
made now. It would be better to defer it till after
the October election. If now pressed, however, he
I would vote for it.
The motion to postpone was negatived—yeas 22,
naya 49—Messra. Welsh and Bradford being
among the negatives.
Mr. Welsh said that he bad listened with much
gratification to the manifestations of a spirit of
oompromise when the olive branoh' was offered by
Mr. Fulton. He had hoped that the friends of
Mr. Douglas would support it, but be found that
they had indignantly refused it, and now he wouli
declare that, even if he stood alone, he would vote
for the Reading electoral pure, and not mutilated.
[Cheers.] Ho would vote for it because many of
the Dohglas men bad spurned all efforts of con
ciliation. He was for the union,
and willing to
vote even for those who refused to pledge them
selves.
Mr. Welsh spoke earnestly and Mr. McCoy gave
three 'sheers for Mr. Welsh's speech.
Mr. Bradford announced that Mr. Fulton had
accepted his amendment requiring a pledge
from the electors to the requirements of the reso
lution.
Mr. Chase moved as an amendment that the
electors be requested to vote in the college, in the
event of their election, for such candidates as they
may consider true to tho principles of their party.
Mr. Fulton refused to accept the amendment.
Mr. Getz, Of Reading, said that some of the
Douglas men, here, were not truly representing
their wing of the party. The. true and sincere
friends of Douglas were in favor of the compromise.
Re was a Breekinridge man, but would meet them
on terms of conciliation, and would go as far as
they go, and he believed that the Darks county
Menu of Douglas and Brockintidge would sustain
the action of this eommittee, if conciliatory on
both sules. •
Mr. Reilly, of Bohnylkill county, called the
previousquestion amid numb excitement, but Gon.
Miller whhing to make a speech, ho withdrew it.
Gan. Miller said that the gentleman from Berke
bad indulged in invectives with very little grace.
He (Miller) had declared his position. The olive
branch was really one until it was mutilated. The
friends of Douglas wished nothing better than to
throw their nominees to the choice of the people.
The measure of Mr. Fulton might have been
Adopted. He wished to God it was adopted, but it
Arad • been mutilated. The resolution as It now
stands had not to ho read closely before it could be
seen that many would be dissatietted. He hoped
that the original proposition would again came be
fore the committee, but he could not accept the
amendments with h onor to himself and his party.
Mr. McDowell moved that when the committee
adjourn, it adjourn to meet at Altoona, at ten
o'clock to morrow morning. Not agreed to.
Messrs. Fulton and Salomon renewed the call
for the previous question.
The first portion of the proposition, in relation
to heading the electoral ticket, down to the word
'"bane," was agreed to—yeas 49, nays 22. The
seoond part, providing for casting the electoral
vote for the candidate who has the chance of an
election, was agreed to—yeas 46, nays 24 The
third portion, being Mr. Bradford's amendment,
requiring . a pledge from the electors, was agreed
to viva vote.
The resolution, as finally adopted, was as follows :
Resolved, .That the Democratic electoral ticket
be headed with tho name of Douglas or Emilia.
ridge as an elector at large, and in the event of
the success of said ticket, if a greater number
shall have been oast fur Douglas, then the vote of
the Electoral College of the State shall be east for
Douglas and Johnson ; but if for Breekinridge,
then for Breekinridge and Lane; if the vote of
Pennsylvania cannot elect the candidates for whom
the majority of votes are cast and can elect any
man running for President claiming to be a Datao•
orat, then the vote of the. Electoral College shall
be cast for that candidate; if It will not elect
either of the Demooreta for whom it is oast or any
of the Democrats who are voted for in the State,
. . _ .
than the vote shall be east for the candidate who
has the majority of the votes of the State, and the
chairman of this committee be requested to obtain
from the electors their several and distinct pledges
of aostdeseenee in the, foregoing resolution, and re
port the result of his aotion at a future meeting
of the committee.
'e committee then adjourned sine die, with
cheers for the ticket.
The final' action of the committee was very re
.pidly taken, the probeedings being brought to a
hurried close by the arrival:of the trains, many
members wishing to depart for their homes.

THOUSANDS EXAMINING TUE SCENE OF THE MUD
This (Thursday) morning at eight o'clock, thou
sands of persons examined the scene of the recent
diabolical murder at Long Branch. The crowd,
however, carefully refrained from effaoing on their
march over the beach., the retreating footsteps of
the murderer and his victim, which are yet dis-
Snotty marked in the sand. A few yards from
the Monmouth House, the beach presents eviden
ces of a dire and bloody struggle having recently
taken place, and from that portion of the beach to
the water's edge, the sand contains the impress of
footsteps, at a varied distance from each other, as
if a heavy load had boon carried which prevented
an equal pace.
Wnen the examination of the beach was made,
under the superintendence of Coroner Morris, of
the Pavilion Hotel, it was found that several foot
steps from the scene of the alleged murder were
stained with drops of blood, to the verge of the
beach. The boat, which had been set out to drift
at sea with the body, had, also, blood sprinkled all
ever It. A large portion of blood, hair, and brains
wore found wrapped up in the sails in the gunwale
Of the boat, and one of the central seats was
broken. The hair had the roots attached, as if it
had been plucked roughly from the bead of the
victim, and it did not at all present the appearance
of having been out off, as was stated by a morning
journal. Brains, hair, and blood were clotted to
gather, presenting to the beholder indisputable
evidence of a murder having been committed,
as well as a pitiable sight.
Several fishermen, after the murder, were em
ployed in netting the sea for the body, but their
efforts up to Wednesday evening at five o'clock
were unsuccessful. The operations were witnessed
by hundreds of persons, some of whom hired boats,
and followed for miles in the wake of the fisher.
men.
This (Thursday) morning, at half past six o'clock,
a body was found floating near the wator's edge,
and was dragged to the shore by some fishermen
who happened to be in the looality. When the
Ms had spread, the beach was visited by en lin

mense number, , o crowded around the body for
n
the purpose of " tifying it, if possible. Several
among the num strongly maintained that it was
the body of the Southern gentleman who had
hoarded at Paterson's Hotel ; and it is stated that
the body, in essential particulars, answered the
description of that gentleman.
Three or four of the servants in Petersen's Hotel,
on beholding the body, also coincided in this be

the body taken in charge.

with blood, and that portion of it supposed to have

and brains, which tenaoiously adheres to the
wood.
Another investigation of the horrible affair will
be held to-day, (Thursday,) when the body whieli

JDALODAY, ItDRDZIS, AND SUICIDE
A oor respondent of the New York TYnets writes
as follows :
AQUNDBRO6K, N. J., Thursday, Aug. 2, 18611.
Our village has recently been the scene of a
murder, a suicide, and of an unsuccessful attempt
at suicide, Last week, Coe Lewis, long jealous of
his wife, strangled her to death, and then killed
himself. Yesterday, a Mrs. Dotson attempted to
poison herself by taking laudanum. The following
are the circumstances whioh impelled her to the
ant ; Mr. and Mrs. Dotson have lived here for
three years, during which time Mr. Dotson has
been employed es boatman on the canal, and
more recently as laborer in a saw-mill. Per the
last three months Mrs. Dotson has been visiting
her brother, in Warren county, Pa., and during
her absence Mr. D. boarded with a woman with
whom, it is rumored, he was improperly intimate.
Eight days ago, Mrs. Dotson returned borne, and
was not met very cordially by her husband, who
declared his intention of having her return to her
brothers' home, since he bad wade up his mind to
go to Mississippi, where he would have no need of
her for the present. Oessipping neighbors in
creased her trouble by circulating rumors con.
earning Mr. Dotson's conduct with the woman
with whom he bad boarded; so that on Wednes
day-the unfortunate woman determined to end
her existence and misery together. She procured
a,bottle of laudanum at a grocery, and having
returned home, drank it ; soon afterwards she was
found in a stupor by her next-door neighbor, who I
went to call on her. Dr. breith. the oldest phyel
elan of the place, was called iu , and happily suc
ceeded, by the usual appliances, in relieving the
woman of the drug which she had taken. Bno is

Incidents Attending the Capture.
It gives ne great pleasure to be enabled at length
to lay before the readers of Tna Panes the intelli
gence that Col. James Buchanan Cross, lately con
victed of forgery—the fame of whose exploits has
extended over America and the Continent of
Europe, and whose recent mane from the cus
tody of the Upstaff of the court of Quarter Beolons
created so much excitement, has been arrested,
and is now once more in the hands of the law:
CIRCUUSTANCIES OP , PUX ASREOT
We nerd not refer to the circumstances attend
ing the preliminary arrest of Col. Cron at
Pitteburg—hta trial upon the Marge of forgery,
and hie acquittal, and hie subsequent arrant on a
similar charge and conviotion, and hill certainly
well exeouted escape from the custody of Mr. Por
ter.
AU these things are fresh in the memory of our
readers, having oaourred within the last few days,
and having been published in all parte of the
Union as a singular chapter in the history of
orime.
It is only duo to Tipstaff Porter to say that, - since
the escape of Colonel Oross, anti the action of the
court in suspending him from his official position,
he bee been untiring in his efforts to retrieve his
fair fame, and to dispel, by his energy in searobing
out the whereabonta of the notorious forger, the
various rumors affecting his integrity.
TUN °mums ON TES TRACK OF CRAM
During the course, of these inveetigations, and
from a source which it is not in our power to lay
before the public-?and which, perhaps, it would
not be prudent to do at the present time—lt was
ascertained to a certainty that Col. Cross was re
siding in a dwelling in the Twentieth ward, went of
Jefferson street. We have no ether clue to
the residence, from the fat)! that Mr. Porter andlbts
fellow officers were extremely incommunleative,
positively refusing to give any information to the
reporters of The Press—and only after several
honks' investlgatloo, at a lato hour last night, and
an early hour this morning, are wo enabled to pre-
Bent a full statement of the facts connected with
the arrest of this accomplished forger.
THEY RESORT TO A STRATAGEH
At the drat Intelligence received of the !manly
in which Cross was motivated, Mr. Porter, in odes
pany With Messrs. Mayhew, Ashton, and Barber,
°Moore of the Qeerter Sessions, formed a plan for
the purpose of eapturinghim. Yesterday afternoon
they hired a carriage, and proceeded to the house
designated. In order to prevent any suspicion
being aroused, they left their vehicle standing in
the vicinity, divested themselves of their coats and
vests, rolled up their sleeves, and lounged
about the corner of the street, as though they
were mere laborers resting themselves after
a hard and weary day's work. Time they
remained, keeping a close watch upon the house
where they knew Colonel Cress was residing, until
evening, thinking that, lithe; attempted to make
the arrest in daylight, their plan would not be
successful.
THEY WATCH THE PLACE OF CONCEALMENT
Evening came; two of the offmers placed them
selves in front of the building for the purpose of
preventing the egress of any human being. A
citizen was pressed into service, and stationed at
the front door. Mr. Porter and Mr. Ashton
entered the building and presented themselves
to the lady of the house, who at the time was in the
parlor. The lady was evidently much alarmed,
and said—" Gentlemen, what does all this mean?"
The officers replied, "Nothing at all, madam
we have a duty to perform, and we are in
march of a person [now confined In this house."
She remarked that her husband was lying on the
floor, being unwell. They struck a light, and dis
covered such to be the fact.
TIM DISCOVER A CMS.
Officers Ashton and Potter than draw their re
volvers and proceeded to search the dwelling. On
entering the second story they commenced their
investigations, and found under a bed a portion of
gentleman's clothing, which one of the officers re
cognized as belonging to Cal. Cross. Becoming sa
tisfied that ho was not in this room, they proceeded
up stairs.
TOO ARREST OF TUE PRISONIS
On proceeding to the third story they entered a
small dingy and badly-famished room. In one
corner was a small trunk. The officer oast a light
into the room, and by the dim glare amain was dis-
covered sitting upon the trunk. kir. Portal drew
his pistol and advanced. Col. Cross, for so It was,
arme and said, in that bland, persuasive manner
so peculiar to him—" gentlemen, don't use me
rough."
Then, very coolly, he remarked, with a smile,
"That was done up very Woe, I think. I didn't
use you rough, did I? didn't hurtyour body ?"
"No," said Porter, "but you gave me the
slip."
" Well," replied Cross, "you can't blame me for
that," at the same.time smiling.
RR, PORTER IS EXCITED
Considering the feat that the escape of Croix
brought upon Mr. Porter the censure of the coin.
munity ; considering that his reputation for
honesty was covered with many probable suspi
cions, we may easily imagine that this officer was
extremely delighted with his success in effect
ing the arrest. In fact, be could ill contest his
Joy, and advancing to Cross he slapped him on
the shoulder, and very affectionately said,
"My boy, you are the beat man in the United
States. lam glad that I've got you."
As he held a pistol in his hand, his companion
suggested that he should put it up. Porter re
plied that he might do as he pleased with the
pistol, for now as he bad caught Cross he had no
further use for it. Cross smiled, and said, Gen
tlemen, don't Use me rough."
When the prisoner was arrested he had nothing
on but a pair of pantaloons and a shirt. When ar
rested, he was taken to an adjoining room where
he dressed himself and accompanied the officers,
who took him into a cab, and last evening, towards
midnight, conveyed him to llioyamensing.
CROSS EXCULPATES PORTER.
. .
When Cross was on the way to prison he con
versed freely with the officers. Porter said he was
glad he caught himself right. Among other things,
he alluded to the stekions rumors in °imitation as
to his having been bribed, and said that it was
currently reported that Cross gave him two thou-
sand dollars for letting hint eacepe
Cross laughed heartily, and said that the story
was ?Minions, and as for his paying two thousand
dollars, it would have been a very difftenit thing
for him to have raised two thousand souls.
CROSS 'MINKS It 2 IS BOLD
Among ether things, during his interview with
his captors. Col. Cross egpressed much curiosity as
to the method in which his Arrest had been accom- -
plished. It was to him a moat incomprehensible
thing, so =oh so that he felt confident be bad
been betrayed by his supposed friends, and sold
into the power of the officers. When be found that
he had been traced to his covert, he thought that
there would be little use in resisting, and accord
ingly ho quietly submitted to his fate.
CROSS DISGUISED
When Cross was arrested he was found to be tbo•
roughly disgulsed. Ho usually wore a wig, but it
was removed. Me face, which was generally co•
vored with a luxuriant beard, be had completely
shaved, and so well had be succeeded ht concealing
his features that one of the officers declared that
he would have passed him in the street readily
without suspecting his iden tity.
The fact of the arrest was rumored about town,
and created much exeiternent in police and other
olroles. The others were very reticent about the
matter, refusing to give any intormation relative to
their adventure. These details have come from
disinterested circles, and may mainly be relied
upon as correct.

The Wilmingt.n3 (N. C.) Journal thus soma up
the result of f.de recent election in that State: We
give to-day the returns from all the counties of the
State, with nine exceptions. Our table, althonet
not official, is as correct as we have been able to
make it by comparison and investigation. Our
footing up of the figures abowa an aggregate of
votes and majorities for Ellis of 47,476, and for
Pool of 42,359—th0 net majority for Ellis thus far
being 5,687. In the counties to be beard flora,
Bragg's majority was something shout 1,200, or
from that to 1,500; so that, supposing the ratio of
loss to be the same in these counties as in tkose•
already heard from, Governor Ellis' aggregate
majority will vary very little from air thousand
votes. Of oonree, the cMciat returns any make
Mae alight modifications of the figures as !o
pened, but generally such modifloations are in
favor of the Democrats, as first rumors are against
them. governor Ellis' majority over Mr. Pool
will not differ from six thousand by two hundred
votes either way, we think.
