David Gilliland the aforesaid doe was pre

Taacxar rx Jan..—Joseph Herrold,
says the Lew is town Gazette, a German

circumstance* were the*e : A flew months
age He-raid was put to jail, on a charge of
stealing a watch and some other articles
at the Union House. He protested hi* inno
cence and, there having been no regular
commitment, he was released on habeas
corpus. He went away, but returned last
week to get bis clothing. He was then
again arrcstad on the old charge and lodg
ed in jail. He again vehemently protested
his innocence and. appeared to brood much
over his troubles, as ha callsd them. Mon
day morning he assisted Sheriff Muthers
bough in butchering in the jail yard.
About 4 p. m., he proceeded to bis cell, and
on the way he told one of his fellow pris
oners, Joseph Griffith, that he intended
to commit suicide. Joe. however, regard
ed the threat as idle talk only. An hour
afterward one of the Sheriff's daughters
carried Herrold's supper to the cell and
called, bat receiving no answer supposed
he was asleep. Calling her sisters the
door was unlocked when to their horror
they beheld his body hanging by a wool
en scarf to the door, and the scarf attached
to the iron bars in the window of tbe door,
and his legs extended along the floor so as
to let his body down.

Pauperism and Crimp.
The Superintendent of the Census
has just made up the statistic* of pau
perism and crime.iu the United States
as the advance sheets which reach us
with the remark "that neither the
"statements of crime nor those ol pau
"perism for the year are regarded as
"possessing any high degree of stat is
"listical authority. They are believ
"ed, however, to "coutaiu a very much
"larger amount of exact aud of
"approximate information than
"it is in the power of an* indi
vidual or of anv other public ageu
"cy to collect. The numbers reported
"respectively as receiving poor-sup
"port and as in prison on the Ist of
"June, 1870, nre regarded as quite
"accurately determiued."
The iuformatiou here uoted as
"quite accurately determined" is very
interesting. On the Ist of June, 1870
there were 42.901 persons in prison
throughout the United States, or 1
incarcerated crimiual to every 1,172
of population, and 66,737 paupers, or
lin every 402 of population. Of the
criminal, 24,173 were native boru,
showing 1 in 1,364 of our native popu
lation in durance v ile. Dividing the
native bora by color, there were 16,-
117 whitee, or 1 criminal in eachl,-
746, and 8,046 negroes, or 1 criminal
in each 606 of that race, revealing the
notable circumstances that there are
proportionately three times as many
criminal blacks as whites. The for- |
eighn-born criminals number 8,728 or
lin ever* 637. As to paupers, there 1
are 53,939 native born, or 1 in 622, 1
and 22,698 foreign born, orjl in 244. <
Of the native-born paupers 44,539 i
were white, or 1 in 853, and 9,367
black, or lin 520. Tabulating these
deductions, which we make from the i
Superintendent's figures, it appears
that pauperism anil crime are thus i
distributed : <
Criminal*.
Native white... Id. 117—1 in 1,744
Negroes 8 Us 6 lin 60$
Foreign horn - lin 637
Pauptrt.
Native white .............44,539—1 in 763
Negroes....... 9,400 —1 in 530
Foreign horn 23,796—1 in 244
Out of the 32,901 crimiuals 6,246,
or about one filth, are in the recon
structed States, and 4,204, or two
thirds, of these offenders are negroes.
In the same States there are 6,250
paupers, or about an eighth of the
whole number, and 4,556 of these are
blacks.
The white population of these ten
States being 44>Of .369. and the ne
groes numbering 3,615,701, the Su
perintendent's figures fnroish us with
this further deduction :

—or that uegroes of the South have
in round numbers about four times
as many paupers and three times as
many criminals as the whites,
while a million less in number than
the whites. But had as is the show*
ing made by poor Cuff in the recon
structed States, he ia far belter off
there, aa respcts either pauperism or
crime, than in the old free States. In
theee there are 364 001 negroes, and
of theae 1,748 are criminals and 2,-
594 paupers, or one criminal in 208
and one pauper in 140, or four times
as many criminals and five timea as
many paupers to proportion among
Northern as there are among South
ern negroes. Why there should be
this great difference, some adept in
social science might do well to tell.
How THE ELECTORAL VOTE IS CAST
—The Prueidential Electors, chosen
November sth by law, are required to
meet ou the first Wednesday of Dec
ember, at such places as the Legisla
ture of each State has directed, which
is generally the capitol of the State,
and give their votes. Tbey arc re
quired to make and sign and seal up
three separate certificates of their votes
and to certify on the cover or en
velope containing each of said certifi
cates that a list of the votes cost for
President and Vice President is con
tained therein. Each of these pack
ages is also to contain a certified list
of the Electors of the State. One of
the packages so sealed and certified is
to be sent by the hands of one of the
Electors to the President of the Sen
ate of the Uoited States ; one of them
is to be forthwith deposited in the
poet-office, also directed to the Presi
dent of the Senate ; and the third is to
be delivered to the Uoited States
Judge for the district in which the
Electors have assembled to vote. The
first mentioned of the packages is re-
Suired to be delivered to thePresi
ent of the Senate befere the next
Wednesday of the Janua
ry. The law further provides that
Congress shall be in session on the sec
ond Wednesday of Febuary succeed
ing every meeting of Presidential'
Electors, when the said packages con
taining tha vote shall be opened, the
vote counted, and persons who shall
fill the offices of President and Vice-
President shall be ascertained and de
clared, agreeably to the Constitution.
The Latent Dlgcowie* in the Po
lar Regions.
Although the North Pole haa not
yet been reached, notable program hu
recently been made in the < xp oration
of the zone of which it ia he center.
During the paat summer, several voy
ages have been accomplised ; and 6f
the results thereby determined, we are
now begining to learn the first particu
lars.
Dr. Augustus Petermann, the emi
nent German geographer, has received
advices, via Norway, that the land at
the east of the islands of Spitzbergen,
of which the position has frequently
changed on the charts during the
past two centuries, has at last been
reached, and that, during the month
ofAagust last, it was thoroughly ex
plored by Capt. Nils Johnsen, of
Tromsoe." Another Norwegian, Capt.
Altmann, of /fammerfest, although
reaching the same locality, failed to
make observations of any importance,
so that it was reterved for Captain
Johnsen to complete the work. He
left Tromsoe for the fisheries of Nora
Zambia in the yacht Lydiana with a
crew of nine men. At the beginning
; of the vast wn which extend* between
I the island* of Ppitxhcrgeu tvu<l NOVA
! Zeiubla. Duriufr the latter part of
> the same mouth he arrived some 80
[ kilometer* to the south ra*t of the
Ryk islands (a little group otl the
coast of Spitsbergen) end in the midst
of the great polar current that trans
ports enormous quantities ofioetoward
tho eastern shores of the Spitsbergen
and Baron islands In the follow nig
July and August, the ice current turn
ed more to the eastward, leaving the
western half of the sen com pars lively
clear. Captain Johusrn, who mean
time was making large hauls of tlsh
OR the great Spitsbergen hanks, *ud-1
denlv discovered on the afternoou ot
tho ItUh of August thai he had IKHII
carried to over 70 degrees north lati
tude, and shortly aft r perceived the
laud which it is believed apjwars on
tho charts of 1017 under the name ol
Wicbo or tlillis Laud. Kin ling the
sea opeu ou tho east and southeast
shores of this island, Johnseu anchor
ed his vessel uear the northeast point
at latitude aboui 79 degrees north,
and disembarked in order to explore
tbe surroundings, to ascend a moun
tain near the coast, and also to obluin
a supply of the wood which lie saw tu .
enormous quantities on the beach.
The maiu island he found to be ac
companied by others smaller in ex
tent, Ou no portion of the laud
could extended SHOW fields he seen.
One glacier was visible on the south
east coast, while numerous streams of
clear water were apparent.
The leugth of the 'stand between
its furthered! points was determined to
be 44 marine miles. The drift wood
had arcumalatcd iu vast heaps, hun
dreds of feet above the sea level. The
principal animals inhabiting the polar
regions were observed, ami especially
the Greenland seal, which appeared in
immense numbers. The explorers
eviuce considerable surpiiso at the
reindeer, which they stU' anf f* l ler
and larger in ixe than aift they had
ever seen. l)n the back ot one of these
animals, fat was found of over three
inches in thickuess- Specimens of ar
gillaceous and quartziterous rock were
collected and, with some fossil vegita
tion, forwarded to museums in Eu
rope for examination. Ou the even
ing of the 17th of August, Johnseu dt
parted, following the southern and
south eastern shores of tie island.
There was no ice except on the north
coast, while iu a northeasterly direc
tion the sea was open as far us the eye
could reach. Ivegardiug lite Austrian
expedition of Paver and W ieprecht,
we have news was near the Isle of
Barentz 70 degrees 7 north latitude
and 58 degrees 24 longitude east of
Paris. There is little of uovelty com
municated other than that the lemjter
ature of the sea, as takeu, verifies the
figures adopted by Dr. Pctermanu, on
the charts. "J/uch thick ice has been ,
encountered" says M. Payer, "but
with the aid of steam we have no dif
ficulty in penetrating it."

respected the signal, but seeing no train
brtere him and supposing it many uiilr* in
advance he resumed hi* speed. A* the
tir?t section approached Mifflin it slacken
ed from schedule speed to about fifteen
miles an hour. Just weal of the town is
Lauber's curs?, and wbilti passing through
it the engineer of the second section of the
express noticed that the first section was
but !'*> feet ahead The patent air brake
was mi mediately rcvetseil, but the coup
ling breke, and the locomotive, tender and
express car were detached from the other
car* (the air brake being operative on the
latter and ran into the rear end of a Full

two ladies and two children were sleeping
The engine struck with much violence and
sent the car w biasing through about one

scoping the two. The cousoouence was the
brvihs in the rear end of the latter were
badly demolished and fife ot the occupants 1

stantly killed, while three sustained slight
injuries. The porter, a young colored

lime the engine struck, and the concussion ;

her situation we* discovered until her re

get out the limb the rear car bed te be
lilted up with jack*. Thoee who assisted
in freeing her were agreeably surprised to
her her ay that her injuries were immate
rial and then walk off a* if scarcely any !
thing had happened her.
The reason the drt section ran behind
schedule speed was because tbe requisite
quantity of steam could not be generated
with the inferior coal used. It is taid that
rood fuel could not be procured because of
the obstacle* thrown in the way by the
horse disease.
On Friday night, the flagman of the first
section and the enginer of the second sec-'
lion testified. Both these men again gave
their evidence on Saturday, the former re-
iterating the statement that he badgered l
a red light to the engineer when over a
mile in advance uf him and that be had
fell sure that the latter observed the signal;
of warning, as the sectien seemed to slack

in snbstance —that when he turned the
curve and came on the straight track the
heagiight of an approaching freight loco
motive obstructed hi* vision to such an ex
tent that he could not have seen the dan
