Tbe Senatorial Question.
The party papers in this Senatorial Dis
trict have been agitating the Senatorial
guidon in the use of rather bitter invec
tives in some quarters —-more bitter than
vrill be'of advantage to the one designed
to be henefitted, or injury of the one
sought to be disparaged. Personalities are
always disagreeable in political contests
and should never be indulged in further
than the want of intellectual capacity in'a
candidate may warrant it. If a man bo in
capacitated, intellectually, for the proper
discharge of the duties of the office for
which he is nominated, it is right that the
people should know it, but further than
this, personal invectives and Impeachments,
except for indictable offences, should not
be indulged in, as they have and always
will work to the injury of those who use
them. i
The office •of Senator is one of more im
portance than inany people attach’ to it.—
The man who holds this office is expected
to assist in framing and passing laws for
the government of the people of the State,
end unless he has some knowledge of the
laws already in force and of those yet re
turned, he can not speak and vote correctly
when they come before him for action.—
Party preferences, wc are well aware, too
often.cause men to overlook proper quali
fications, and the party is voted for rather
than the man. This should not, and we
are inclined to think will not, be.the case
on £ he; second Tuesday of October. The
day in which men can be induced to “ go
it blind’' for the man whom the leaders of
the party to which they belong have nomi
nally set up, is well nigh passed, arid
voters now think and act for themselves.
This is rigfy, and a man who does- not
think and act for himself in the matter of
ohosing those who shall be. placed in
authority can pot be called a freeman.
In. comparing the candidates for the
office of Senator in this district, it will not
take long to decide as to who. is the best
qualified, intellectually, to fill the office.
It must be and is admitted by the friends,
of Mr. Durbin, who are acquainted with
him, that in this respect he falls behind
his competitor, Col. L. , W. Hall, of this
place. Col. Hall is kno,wn to possess all
the qualifications requisite to a proper and
faithful discharge of the duties of the of
fice for which he is a candidate 3 and t.W
he will discharge them impartially, politi
cally, all who knows him can testify. He
has never been an ..ultra party man, and
wo are confident that .he would not nggjftt
in carrying out party sohems to the detri
ment of the interests of his. constituents
or State .He will undoubtedly receive,
as he rilwuld, a large vote, irrespective of
party, where he is personally known; and
ehoul4 ha,elected, ofwhich we have no
douht,,he wil l fill fcheoffice with, acceptance
and credit to his constituents*

*®“ The Washington correspondent of
the 2fofth American cays tlie dispatch
receivetHtam Gcir. Harney by: tiie last
Culifpioia mail, in regard to the military
occupation of San Juan and the complica
tion with Governor Douglass, W®ge so un
satisfactory to the* President, and- occa
sioned so dutch apprehension as to indnoe
him to call upon Gen. Scott to proceed
immediately to the soene of difficulty and
by his personal and influence to
arrest the drifting tendency towards a
collision between the American and Bri
tish forces. Gen. Scott responded, with
the patriotism and alacrity which have
always distinguished him, and started upon
.the journey on Tuesday at noon, carrying
.Instructions prepared by the President,
whichinvest him with full discretion to
remove every existing obstruction to a
pacific solution jof the issue by diplomatic
arrangement as was contemplated by tbe
late administration. >
To General Harney’s impetuous charac
ter and conduct may be attributed this
new entanglement which was anticipated
in some form when he was ordered to the
Pacific, by those who knew his rash pro
clivities. The administration is not with
out a certain misgiving that trouble may
occur before General Scott can reach his
destination. Precautions have been taken
by every available means to prevent such
a contingency, and besides the prompt
presence of Gen. Scott, efforts will be
made to' anticipate bis arrival by dispatches
by the overland route, checking any fur
ther movements on the, part of Gen.
Harney. There is nothing in the state
*of the question itself which is not easily
susceptible of satisfactory adjustment, and
which will be brought to such a conslusion
by General Scott, no matter what aspect
it may have assumed before his appearance.
Nd serious anxiety need, therefore, be
entertained concerning the probability of
a rupture, though ignorant or interested
persons may strive to spread such an im
pression. Indeed, Lord Lyons, the Brit
ish ambassador, has manifested the best
possible feeling in this affair, and has
written to Gov. Douglass in such a spirit
as cannot foil to facilitate Gen. Scott’s
pacific endeavors. The importance of a
telegraph communication with the Pacific
'is fully demonstrated by the predicament
in which the government is now placed,
actually involving our friendly and peace
ful relations with a great foreign power.
The Irish Revival Movement. —
The singular religious movement in Ire
land, which we have previously noticed,
is attended with incidents that stir np the
bitterest prejudices. It appears that in
several placeis members of the Roman
Catholic families have been drawn into
the revival excitement, much to the dis
gust-of their friends, and quarrels have
followed. Several have appealed to the
courts, and the religious and party news-
take up the quarrel, and indulge
in the most violent invectives. The strife
is, certainly, not a becoming one, but it
seeems 6o be the fate of Ireland to he rent
always irkto factions by senseless prejudi
ces and cherished bigotries.
Gist Book. —We have received from
G. G. Evans a copy each of the “'Life of
Col. David Crocket,” and “Three Per

is alone worth the price of both the books,
to say nothing of the valuable prize which
accompanies it. The work is written by
Crocket himself and-who that has heard of
the man will not at once infer that it is a,
rich production. “Three Per Cent a
Month,” is also well written and well worth
the price asked for it. Price of each book

We learn by the North American, just arrived
at New York, with later news from Europe, that
a serious accident had already happened the
“Great Eastern,” the mammoth steamship late
ly built in England. A tremendous explosion
occurred off Hastings, on her passage from the
Nore to Portland, the harbor from which she
was to start for America. The, funnel was
blown into the air, tearing to pieces the grand
saloon, and doing great damage to the internal
fittings of the vessel. The guests on board had
jqst quitted the saloon, and all fortunately
escaped injury. The explosion was terrific, but
the ship resisted the shuca, lbs f-ame sustain
ing no injury. The accident made so little dif
ference in the movement of the ship that her
engines were not stopped till she reached Port
land, her place of destination. A coroner’s in
quest on the body of the fireman killed showed
that the supply of water to the boilers through
the water jacket, was stopped because of the
failure of the auxiliary pumping powers. Sec
ondly, that a top in the stand pipe which acts
as a srfety valve was turned, apparently inten
tionally, so that the pipe was useless. The in
jury to the fittings will be repaired at an ex
pense of $25,000. During the trip, the Great
Eastern was almost without motion, when other
vessels met with were tossed by a stormy sea.
On her trial trip, under very unfavorable cir
cumstances, she attained a speed of over fifteen
miles per hour. It is thought her usual rate
through the water will be over twenty miles per
hour, which will make her regular passage from
Europe to America extend to about six days.
A pleasant item for lovers of champagne.-, —An
American traveller in- the streets of Paris seeing
the words, “ Wine baths given here,” exclaimed:
“Well! these French .arc a luxurious people.”
Then with true Yankee Curiosity, and the feel
ing that he could afford whatever any one else
did, walked in and demanded a “wine bath.”
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it, and hav
ing to pay but five francs, he asked, in someas
tonishtnent, how a wine bath could be afforded
so cheaply. His sable attendant, who had been
a slave in Virginia, and enjoyed a sly bit of hu
mor, replied: “0, massa, we jest pass it along
into annudder room, where we gib baths at four
francs.”
“ Then you throw it away, I suppose.”
“ No, massa; den we semi it lower down, and
charge three francs a bath. Dm-'s plenty of
people who ain’t bo berry particular, who bathe
in it after this at two francs a head. Den, mas
sa, we lets de common people hub it at a franc
apiece.”
“ Then, of course, yon throw it away,” ex
claimed the traveler, who thought this was go
ing even beyond Yankee profit.
“No, indeed, massa,” was the indignant re
ply, accompanied by a profound bow, “ we are
not so ’stravagunt as that comes to ; we jest
bottles it up den and sends it to ’Merica for
champagne.” —Life llluelrated.
Fatal Accident in a Cistern— Tico Children
Drowned and a Mother nearly Drowned. —
Through the medium of a private letter, we learn
of the sad death of two children of Mr. Joel
Wilmot, who removed from this city to Carthage,
Jefferson county, about a year ago. ° ’
Mrs. Wilmot, (formerly Miss Patridge, of
this city,} it would appear, was at home alone
with her two children on Tuesday last, and
went to v draw water from a cistern covered only
with a board, in the shed adjoining the house.
Whiio she hastened to return at the cry of her
babe, Arthur, aged about three years, it is pre
sumed, fell into the open cistern. la seeking
to she also fell into the cistern,
with her babe ip her arms. The precise hour
at which this occurred is not known.
When Mr. Wilmot returned, not finding any
one in the house, be looked for his family, but
saw nothing'' till he heard a groan, evidently
proceeding from the cistern, and looking there
beheld his wife. The ciaMn* must be; quite
deep, for ho was unable to take her out till he
obtained help from a neighbor who heard bis
call and came in. While drairing her out, the
father saw the body of his little son in the water,
and on enquiring for the babe, was told that it|
100, was in the cistern, from which its body was
afterwards recovered. *
Mrs. Wilm°t is very feeble, almost insensible,
oMd had been able to give very little explana
tion of the accident. Her life is considered in
danger. The children were, the eldest, three or
years old, and tho youngest about aa many
months.— Utica Herald, Sept . 15th.
