New Paper. —We have received the
;firat copy of a paper called the Working
tnen’c Advocate, recently started in Han*
tingdon by W, F. Shaw and -- Miller.
Wc notice that a new political party, styled
the Workingmen’s Party, has been organ
; ; izcd in that county, and the Advocate is
professedly the organ thereof. We have
oar doubts about the success of any new
political organisation at the present day,
nevertheless we wish our friends Shaw &
Miller.success in their enterprise.

section should give it a cordial support.
“Our Paper” is the name of a new

A Significant Indication. —A gen
tleman residing in | lowa writes that the
land offices in .different sections of the
liVesthre flooded with'applications for in
formation from. Southern people. These
applications are generally made in writing
and refer to the state of affairs existing in
the South as rendering emigration to the
North desirable. Many ofj these applica-
tions come from as far South as Texas
and Louisiana. The fact is, the “ reign
of terror*’ prevailing in Uhe 11 Cotton
States” must jere long drive teas of thou
sands of the best inhabitants away.
The Cambria County Election i
Frauds. —The famous Washington town
ship election frauds arc stil| on the carpet
in the Cambria county Court. At the'
late Quarter Sessions, John W. Short was
found guilty of ‘‘wilful fraud in the dis- ■
charge of his duty as clerk”-of the elec
tion ; but not sentenced. A true bill was
found against Albert F. Cantwell, for the
same offence, as Judge of the election, but
his case was continued to .the next Court.

The Great .Gaines base.
# i, The Supreme Court of the United States has
just rendered a decision in favor of Mrs. Gaines,
establishing her right to the McDonough prop
erty now in the possession of the cities of New
Orleans and Baltimore. The decision places
her in possession of all the immense property
of Daniel Clark, of whom she is the only legiti
mate child. Mrs. Myra C. Gaines, the contest
ant in this celebrated case, furnishes the world,
in her life, one of those strange eventful his
tories, unlocked for save in the realms of ro
mance. Mrs. Gaines was bom in Philadelphia
in 1805. Her father, Daniel Clark, was a man
of immense wealth, but of uncertain morals—his
property lying for the most part and about
the cities of New Orleans, Baltimore, and Phila
delphia. Mr. Clark, in 1801, had formed a liai
«on_with a'woman of supposed easy virtue, with
nom he lived for many years, in Philadelphia.
Mr. ‘Clark’s friends never recognized this woman
—nor did Clark ever acknowledge her publicly
** hi* wife, hut op the contrary, it has! been
proved, tl»at evengafter the daughter was horn,
he persisted in draaring that h* was ahadfaelor.
It seems, some months prior to
Mrs. Gainhs’s SMVenvinto the world, Mr. Clark
was lnduced to marry his victim,
but with the cfisthrct understanding that the
marriage »honh| -Sever be made public. Soon
after iU bittb,^Eß6 ; was placed in the charge
of a persoii inaiatimore, (whose name does pot
transpire,} byyrijom-she was raised to woman--
hood. Hqr mother in .the meantime went away
from Philadelphia, bat. where or when, or what
ever beeaipe.of her is unknown. At the ake of
twenty-two, Myra married a Mr. Whitney, a
son of the ilate Judge Whitney, of Binghamton,
- N6w York; by whom she became the mother of
three children. Mr. Whitney died in 1886, and
In 1840 she married General Gaines, of the Uni
ted States larmy. Mrs. Gaines did pot, until
some yrarh after her marriage to her first hus
band, know anything of her parentage; she
having taken , the name of the person who had
charge of her, and ; supposed, as did her ac
quaintances, that the persons with whom she
lived were her parents. At the death of Clark,
in 1830 or 1831, his kinsmen went on to admin
ister upon; his estate, bat they foond a barrier
in the person of Mrs- Whitney’s former guardian
and supposed father, who interposed a claim for
his protege, and then for the first time informed 1
her and her wondering husband, as to who and
what she It seems that this person alone,
aside from the family of Clark, know the secret
of the marriage. At first Clark’s friend tried to
bribe him. to keep the whole matter a secret,
pnd for a. time succeeded in keeping him out of
the way; but as they did- not-comply readily
with bis demands for money, he communicated
the proofs! more ' fully to, Mrs. Gaines, and she
set. about: establishing her legitimacy. She.
commenced her first suit against the executors
of her father’s esti'e. as long ago as 1837 or 8,
and it wi}s while in Washington attending to
this business that.she .met General Gaines whom
she married :n a few months after. General
Gaines appropriated the whole of bis salary to
ferreting out the availiable facts, and at last
succeeded;in finding the records of. Clark’s mar
ring*/11 Iso4, and be found also one or two of
the witnesses who were present at the ceremony.
In the first suits against the Executors she was
unsuccessful, but .she and her husband were
determined that the stigma of Illegitimacy
should not rest upon her, and so to again bring
the matter before the Courts, when she should
he able to better prove the marriage of her
parents, she commenced the present suits
against Hemming and others, involving the Mc-
Donough estates and other vast amounts of
property in the South and West. The case has
been fought inoh by inch by the other legatees;
has been ; tried.. .with varied successes in the
Courts of a half a dozen States, until this last
decision of the Court of final resort. The first
legal talent in the country has been engaged on
both sides, and probably no case, as Judge
Wayne remarked, was elver tried in this country
involving so many nice points of law and fact as
this. The Court of the United States has unani
mously decided that Myra Clark Gaines is the
only legitimate child of Jennie! Clkrk, and that,
as such, she is to ali the property left
by him. |Nor are the years and energies of the
courageous woman too far spent to prevent her
enjoyment of her vast wealth. Mrs. Games,
though now in her fifty-fifth year, is represented
as being an agreeable specimen of what old
people delight in sailing “ladies of the old
school.” She is in good health, and possesses an
abundant flow of animal spirits, which have
buoyed her up for over thirty years under cir
comstancea of an'unusually trying nature.
Nbw Sieax Car. —The Huntingdon and
Broad Top Railroad Company have made or- v
rangements to put a Steam Car on the road, to
run between Huntingdon and Hopewell. The
car, -which is a combination of Locomotive, Pas
senger, and Baggage car, has been contracted
for, and will be running about the first of June,
and for convenience and utility, will be a popu- *
lar institution. It will seat comfortably, about
forty passengers, with a baggage room next to
the engine, sufficient to hold the baggage, mails
and Express matter. The engine will be set on
the front platform within the car, and work on
an entirely new principle, and will have suffi
cient power to hani a second car when necessa
ry, and to run -twenty-five ’miles an hour. We
understand the Company intend' to offer strong
inducements to cncoorage and increase the
travel, by; s redaction of fares, and taking on
and letting off passengers at any point on the
road, virtually making every farm bouse, and
road crossing a station, and charging only-for
the distance traveled. The car-is being built
by Murphy A Alison, celebrated ear builders in
Plain. Tbo nngine by/ Neafie & Leoy, Penn’a
.Works, Phil’a, both .being superintended by
Messrs. .Cries & Long, the patentees. We sup
pose the Passenger car on the Sbonp’s Run
Branch will be run as usnal for the accommoda
tion bf those having business at the mines, and
to enable onr citizens to connect with the trains'

Terrible Tragedy in the Pittsburgh.
Prison.
The eoftaty Jail in nttaboith wu th« bomm
of n most ontil tordinwry ond iloody tr*gedj
yesterday morni ig, the particulars of which ere
detailed by the Chronicle of lharsday evening,
m follows:
A men named John Lewis, committed for va
gtkney by iieqnire Janeey, of LawrenccTille,
ires murdered in cold blood by e fellow namejd
Andrew MoMollisa, with whom ho had bad ho
previous acquaintance, and to whom no provq
oation, whatever 1 , was given for the commission
of the dreadful deed. It appears that McMul
len is of unsound mind, and some two years
since was before' the Court on a charge of as
sault and battery. The" testimony showing,
however, 'that the man was a lunatic, a verdict
of acquittal in his ease was rendered, and he
was ordered to be sent to the Hospital for safe
He remained there till about three
montfas, since, when he was discharged, appa
rently eqred, and since then he has been leading
a dissolute life, | passing a part of his time in
jail, and the balance among bis friends, some
of,whom arc said to be well to do and respecta
ble citizens. Saturday morning be was com mit
ted for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, but
at the time he gave no indications that his old
malady bad returned, or that bis mind was in
the least disturbed. He was placed in cell Nb.
18 on the grounjl floor, and every night, since he
has had one or more persons to sleep with him.
Lost night the deceased was brought in and'
taken to McMullen’s cell, where he was locked
up for the night. He did not appear to be
\drnnk at the time, and demeaned himself like a
quiet inoffensive man. During the night great
noise prevailed. ia the cell, bat unfortunately
the man on the guard failed to hear it, and no
attempt was therefore made to ascertain the
. cause from which it proceeded. The fact, how
ever, revealed itself this morning, when the
turnkey came to unlock the door. On the bed
inside lay stretched the body of the unfortunate
Louis,' his face covered with bleed, and features'
so disfigured that recognition was barely possi
ble. He was still living, but so near .his end
that but some three quarters of an hour elapsed
ere his spirit haa departed for another world.—
Near him stood uVlcMullen, apparently contem
plating bis bloody work. He bad a piece of
stick in bis hand, which was covered with the
gore of his victim, and looked stolidly on while
I the turnkeys shrunk with.horror from the bloody
spectacle before them. In. reply to the inter
rogatories of one of them, he merely answered
that he beat th<| deceased because he could not
speak German, land declined saying more. He
was removed to I another cell, while his victim
was washed and a physician sent for, but before
he could arrive he had died.
“Hidden roa Fifteen Cents.
-•-Among the coses on the list now before the
Supreme Court lof this State is a most curious
one. It seems that away up in Luzerne county
lived a man nuiped Elisha Harris. He owned a
large farm, and was ' supposed to have saved
considerable mpuey. Ho was an eccentric and
close-fisted individual, and he lived entirely se
cluded and alone. In July, 1858, he died
His administrators could find no property be
yond the ordinary househpld'furniture, &fi. —
According to custom, they hid a vendue. The
vendue was well attended, it being inferred that
the money which it was supposed the deceased
died possessed iof had been concealed some
where, and old : chests nud bureaus probably
never before sold so well at an up country sale.
Well,'ope David M. Huthmaeher,. an honest
Dutchman, wept to the sale, and arbondescript
article of furniture was struck off to him for
fifteen cents. It was a square block of pine
wood, about .three feet long and tea or twelve
inches square,! supported by four legs, each
about a foot an|d a half in length. On the top
was a horizontal wheel, with an iron spindle at
tached to it.- it war an outlandish affair, and
it might, for all we-know, have come out of the
Ark, and beenapplied to antediluvian uses.; —
David paid bisjjfifteen cents, hauled bis purchase
home, and threw it on the wood-pile. In course
of time it camel to be split open for firewood,
when, lo ’ it wps found to contain $8,754.50 in
gqld and silver! coin and promissory notes.—
David, tho’ poor, was honest, and he informed
the administrators of his discovery. The result
was that a suit was entered to determine to
whom the treasure should belong.' The lower
Court decided against honest David, and. he ap
pealed. Such jiras the case that came up a few
days ago, and it occasioned much merriment.—
No decision has yet been made.
A Bill job Dne Bat.— Mr. Lincoln and his
finite stopped one day ' at the Delnyan House,/
formerly a rigiijl temperance hotel, in Albany,
but he and his wife dined with a friend. The
proprietor of toe hotel has presented the mod
est bill of $1,120 for that dnys’s eating and
"drinking. There vyere sixteen persons in all
really entertainjed, and the charge was therefore
§7O for each. |The items- are curious fora
Temperance house; for instance, there is the
sum-of §357 for wines- and liquors, and §l5O
for broken stoves and chairs. If sixteen per
sons drank $357 worth of liquors, a cost of
twenty?two dollars worth each, the only won
der is that they did not' break their necks as
well as $l5O worth of stores and chairs. This
extraordinary,pill bents the experience of the
Japanese and English princes..
Fate, op a Lady Gambler.—A letter from
Frankfort of tqe 19tb ult., says; “The day
beforO’ yesterdijy nn English lady, who had re
sided at Hombqtg: for aome time, and who had
been aWistant visitor to the gambling saloon's,
where by degrees she had lost almost-all her
property, left’ town and went to the village of
Eirdoff, aboutihree miles distant. She ascen
ded the tower of the new church there, and, hav
ing first tied her legs together, threw herself
from the tower, to the earth, a distance of about
one hundred feet. When picked up she was
still, living, bui was conveyed to the hospital at
Homburg, in aldeplorable condition.’’
Death from Htdbopuobia.— Mrs. Townsend,
wife of a respectable farmer iu Ararat, Susque
hanna county, was seized with symptoms of hy
drophobia while riding with Mr. Townsend,
some days ago, and died during the night follow
ing. Two years ago. while crossing a field near
her father’s bouse, she was attacked by a large
dog, from which she happened to escape with
out receiving any wound of which she was con
scious. It is pow supposed that* the animal
was mad, and tbs' virus penetrated her system
.through some abraision of the skin. i
Teeasok Defined ii» Texas.—J u igo Frazier,
In his charge to the grand jury, defined treason
as a crime to b« 'looked after in the event of the
State withdrawing from the Union. After the
State has fully • and unconditionally severed the
connection State and Federal gov
ernment, then nil who adhere to the Union and
so manifest the fact, are guilty of treason—sub
ject and liablei o. Indictment by the grand jury
under the constitution as It how exists. After
secession, any word, deed, or act against the
independence of the State would be treason.
Resc mptioh. — -Wb have to-day to announce
the unconditional resumption of specie pay
ments by the banks in this city. It is a safe
more, and cannot but agd to the impression
that our political complications are tending to
ward a peaceful result. It will, of course, be
followed by the resumption of specie payments
if the'banks throughout this State sad Kew
