IjirtT;o> Defaulters. —Tho Slale Treasurer of has communicated to the Legislature a list of defaulters to the. State. The nupiber 10 376, for various sums, from $l,OOO up to $64,148 70, at which latter figure is placed the Delaware and Hud* son Canal Co. The gross amount of the defalcation is $407(440 99. Suits to recover the money have been entered in several cases, but much of it is en tirely lost. The Public Domain.— Our Government owns tho richest, most extensive and diversified public domain on tho Globe, and if it bo rightly used an Immense amount of good may result from it. According to tho Report of the Commissioner of tho General Land Office, it appears that ttio public lands contain, as near as can be estimated, 1,442,217,107 acres,one and a half acrca'of land for every man, woman and child on the face of the earth. Painful Mortality.— We learn from the York Pa. Republican, that on Saturday night the 27th ull., Mr. Johft M.

The ladies, certainly, are indebted to tho gallantry of the worthy judge for this exception in their favor. Fatal Railroad Accident.—Wo regret to learn that a distressing and fatal accident occurred 011 Wednesday of last week on the rail road near Lan caster, by which both tho Engineer and Fireman were instantly killed. It is said that when the ucci- deni happened.the train was going at Us usual rule, when, from some unknown cause, (ho locomotive run off lhe track, drugging- the tender and one of the passenger cars.off with it;—breaking loose from those it turned completely around, Its head eastward, and capsized—a complete wreck. It was the work of on instant. Upon getting out of the cars it wus discovered (hat (ho engineer was cut entirely in two, dead, and the fireman so smashed and bruised that be gaspod but a few moments and expired, without ; ony ottempt lo speak, or. giving pny evidence of consciousness. The.name of the engineer was Hen ry Murray, that of the fireman, Charles Wolfe, bath 'of Columbia, the former leaving, a wife and three •mall children, wiihout support or protection;. . . Upon examining the locomotive itwos fotipd that the axles of its (ruck wheels were broken, os it was supposed,' after it had run off the truck, but nothing certain ( was known as (ho persons killed were (ho only ones out of the curs..

But how is it now? At Harrisburg.wo have a sample of Federal.liberali ty, in the'fact .that Gov. Johnston baa removed every Democrat within his reach, from Iho highest to the lowest officer. And not content with this, lie and, his friends.in the Legislature were willing to violate the, constitution itself, and in defiance of that instru ment and the law, remove from office the* present Auditor General and Surveyor Genera), because of their politics I No other crime was alleged—(he only charge against Gen. Purviancs and Judge LxroltTS was that they were Democrats! This was enough in the eyes of Billy Johnston and his Federal friends in the. Legislature to attempt a removal of the above named officers. What care the Federalists for the Constitution—what care they for low? Boll) are regarded as a wisp of straw.or a ropo of sand when they come.in cChtact with the desires of Federalism. The course of William F. Johnston; before, and his course after bis election, goes to show how far men will go.somctimcs in attempting to deceive iho peo ple. - But (o return Ip tlib subject of the office seekers at Washington. Our friend who. writes us says, “there cannot.be less than five thousand office seekers present here now., and thousands more are expected." Go it coonies—in a very short time Waijlunglon wilt bo as full of vermin as is a rich cheese In August,— Thousands of these follows must, bo disappointed.— Gen. Taylor publicly declared before the election that in case of his success he would not bo a “party President," He has said that be would hot make removals because of men holding certain political opinions.* He was elected too without pledging him* self to any one principle of the Federal parly—lie placed the Federalists at defiance, and declared him self a candidate for the Presidency ** independent of all parties." H efotced the Federalist* into bis sup port, und laughed at their cowardice, in making a surrender of their former .declared principles, as well as a denial of their parly name. Gen. Taylor is therefore entirely independent. Should ho pursue the course which ho boa so frequently declared he would, it will bo proof that ho is at least an honest man, and that ho was not acting tho hypocrite when ho said that he would not be governed in his course by any parly. When the'Federalist?.ask Gem Tay lor to remove certain Democrats from office (hatthey may take their places, the.old hero can very properly demand a reason for asking tho removal of those officers. If none is given—no charge is made against their capacity nndhonesty—the Federal office seeker will i#all probability bo dismissed with a flea m his ear. Tills will be General Taylor’s.ceursc, if ho bo an honest, upright man. But, should he prove recre* ant to his lormcr professions, and suffer himself to become the more instrument In the hands of adroit and selfish Federal politicians, then may we lookout for a clean sweep. Wo shall see—what wo shall see. ... SENATOR. AL.I/EN. Country cdUors'wlll feel themselves under lasting obligations to Senator Allen, for tho able and cner*. gctic manner in which ho urged the amendment to (ho Post-office Dill (now before the Senate,) providing for the free transmission of newspapers through the mails for a distance of 30 miles from the place of publication. Mr. Allen Isa bold and able debater, and his speech in the Senate on the proposed amend* ment, was powerful and unanswerable. Wo have long been an admirer of the Ohio Senator, lie is, in its strictest sense, a solf-mndo man. At one lime ho was a poor and friendless boy—an apprentice to the saddle and harness making business—now ho is one of tho representatives in the U. S. Senate of tho noble State of Ohio. And. who will say that he is not on honor to his Slate and an ornament to the Senate chamber? With every greatnnjlonal ques tion that has of late years been agitated, tho name of William Allen is . identified. As a public speaker he has few equals. A,Democrat from feeling, ho has always labored for tho welfare of the masses, and opposed the grasping schemes of stock-jobbers and monied aristocrats, But, pur object .in commencing (his article was not to speak of tho private and pmh lioal virtues of Mr. Allen, but merely lo return him our thanks fur the course he has pursed in urging the amendment spoken of above. Jh will bo remember* cd by many country publishers for his manly course, and those Senators and Representatives who oppose the amendment will be remembered also, should they come before the people. Must, of them have been made what they are, by editors, and, if wo are not much mistaken, they can bo.wn made quite as easy. SCHOOLS OF PENNSYLVANIA. The Superintendent commences with some com* mcndable general reflections on the subject of cdu* cation, and then briefly reviews the several acts of I the legislature in relation to tho system, the last of which was the act'of April 11th, 1848* which oxicn* ded the system over,every county of tho Stale. Since tiio passage of tbo act of April' Ist, 1834, upwards of $3,000,000 have been Appropriated by the Stale for School purposes, while tho citizens have raised by luxation for the same object the sum of $5,000,000. The following table gives a condensed view of lliu operation of the system Tor tho year end* ing Juno 1, 1848: Whole number of districts, 1,306 Number paid during the year, 1,153 Number reporting, 1,102 Whole number of schools, . 7,845 Number yet required, 486 Average number of months taught, 4.344 Number of male teachers, 6,065 ** “ female teachers, 3,031 I “ 11 mule scholars, 197,084 I « ** female scholars, .162,621 N | •* “ scholars learning German, 6,931 .

J In tho number‘of teachers, 422; in the number of scholars, 28,638, nod In the amount of tax $71,966 7J.~ The evils of having the sohdpTiSkept open for the short average lime of loss than Cr fivo months, us ap pears in , the above table, are briefly pointed out, and it \s urged that they should bo kept open at least ten month* in tlu. your. An iqoreaßo of the salaries of the teachers is also suggested.' Editors down cast must have a very hard time of if. One, In. Maine, lately treated himself to a hew pair of IroWsors and slopped his paper for two weeks to enjoy the luxury. . U is said that the lamented Cpl. Dix partook in Wheeling, of an oyster supper at a late hour night before the day on which h.e came to hie sadden death. A number of nQbobsofPJMladeJpiiraiashorttifflo since; tendered. to William F. Johnston b:Silver. Tea &t,.in honor of Ins services to, the lult Whig party, j Johnston declined to receive thp- gift, and suggested that.the money lie appropriated to charitable purpo- j ses. This forms a correspondence, all of which has been published.by lho ( JVbrtli American ;nnd,many .other papers; and forthwith the whole Federal press, with one voice are loud in praising- Johnston's H phU lanthrophj .” Many of the Federal'papers devote half a column In spreading this great act before their readers. One,paper, now before us, heads.on article of sickening praise of Johnston, with this caption, u Like the Man " and then proceeds bis readers concerning this great and benitSlent act of bis Excellency! Now this is a very small matter for Federal editors to talk about—it is contemptible. What would these same editors have said .hod. bis Excellency accepted the Tea Set? Would have condemned him for so doing 7—would they .have sug gested the idea to him that he had better appropriate the costoflho Tea Sol to benevolent purposes? Oh no, such an idea never could have got through their hair. They would .then have praised him fur receiving the present—they would have said that ho richly merited the honor, and all that.. We can, sea no “benevolence” in Gov. J. refusing .to accept the present. “ Philaulhrophy”indeed !• Any one can bo liberal when it costs him nothing. The whole of this praise of Johnston, therefore,, is shccre hum. bugery. ■ , • - .
