Death of Ex-President Polk.
The fears expressed by the Nashville papers
respecting the Lx-Presidcnt, have unfortu
nately proved too true. He expired at his res
idence near Nashville, on Friday evening, 15th
inst. His disease was chronic diarrhoea.
The announcement of this event, says the
Baltimore American, conies with a sudden and
painful surprise. The youngest of all who
have occupied the Presidential chair since the
beginning of the Government, it was natural to
expect for Mr. Pout a prolongation of life for
years to come. But fie has gone, and at short
warning. It was but recently that we read in
a Nashville paper an account ot his improved
health —the tranquility of his retirement hav
ing apparently served to restore a system en
feebled by the labors of public life.
No man who Iras ever risen to the elevated
post of the Presidency of this Republic can be
regarded afterwards as an ordinary man ; and
whatever diversities of political opinions may
exist among a free people, the mantle of the
Chief Magistracy, once worn by the chosen
of the people, must ensure him always the re
peclfu! consideration ofhis fellow citizens while
living, and impart associations of regard to his
memory when he has departed.
The events of Mr. POLK'S administration
mark an important period in our history. Thi6
is not the occasion to speak ot them in detail,
cor has the time yet come when they can be
spoken of uith entire impartiality. Of his own
characteristics as a public man there will also
be differences of opinion, according as they are
judged of by frieadi or by political opponents.
For ourselves we can only bear in mind at
present that he was human aud is dead.
President Taylor has directed the usual
mark of respect to be paid to his memory by
the several departments.
The merchants, as will be 9een by an advertisement,
intend elcuna their stores or the 4tii of July. The prac
tice heretofore, we believe, has •*-!! to close Ore •flut
ters and keep the doors half open.
L L JONES invites tbe attention ef our readers to
h.s extensive stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, 4c.

'"C proposed amendment to the Constitution, provid

casion, used to boil over with pat-riotism?
The Hollidaysburg Register has half a no

RIOTS. i>v\eral disgraceful riots have taken I
.ace along the line of railroad .11 Huntingdon '
| county, in which several shantees we reborn 1
i'own and considerable properly destroyed.!
Ie Huntingdon Journal slutes that Mr Gil
; espm, a contractor, was attacked to one of
these affrays and se.tously injured. The only
j cause for these proceedings is the old Irish 1
leud between the Co.inaught men and Far :
"\vn.s; If the rascals were to knock each !
otlur's b.ains out, and leave property and unof-
j tending citizens alone, there would, we think,
be few tears shed for their loss.
V/O~SAM HOPPER, the carpenter, we have j
been told, lately erected a two story frame
honso in sixteen days from the time ground
was broken tor the cellar; and if he does not
| become properly appreciated by our citizens as
a carpenter, we fancy SAMUEL HOPPER, the
Ice Merchant, will, should this melting wea
ther continue through summer. Ilia ice has
: imparted sucii a refreshing feeling to every- i
; thing with which it has been brought into con
tact during the past week, that we could not
well see how to do without it. It is a luxury
within the means of nearly every one, and as
| his list is rapidly filling up, better take it
I while you can got it.

Riot and Bloodshed. —Our city has again

scene closed one man was killed and several

LOUISVILLE. June IG.
Desperate and Fatal Encounter. —At a
public speaking which took place to-day in
Madison county, between Cassius M. Clay
and Joseph Turner, a quarrel ensued, which
resulted in a rencounter between the parlies.
They first drew pistols, which snapped but did
not go off. They then attacked each other
most fearfully and fiercely with bowie knives.
Mr. Clay was stabbed through the heart and ex- j
ptred immediately. Mr. Turner was severe- !
ly wounded 111 the abdomen and groin, and has
since died.
i This dreadful tragedy has caused great ex
citement and much sorrow among the friends
of both parties. Another account says Mr. j
, Ciay was only wounded and is still living.
THI Pf.n* DISTRICT FRAUD* —lt will excite surprise J
and indignation wherever it is known, says the Daily >
News, that the perpetrators of the gross frauds in the !
district of Fenn, Philadelphia county, at the last general j
election, have been discharged from all responsibility by
tbe locofoco Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions. It
will be recollected that the most palpable violations of j
duty, were charged upon the officers of the election, in j
| making fraudulent returns of the names of the voters, j
: and that the evidence as to the fact, taken before the :
! magistrate bv whom they were held to baii to answer, !
! was of the most startling character. Upon the finding
of indictments against parties, a general demurrer was i
! entered, alleging their insufficiency, which having been '
! argued some time since, was decided on Saturday by 1
j Judge Parsons, quashing the indictments, and discharg- i
Img the defendants from custody. The ground upon
which the decision is based is, that the facts in support |
of the charge of fraud and violation of duty, were not
sufficiently specified ; and that officers of an election,
such as clerks, inspectors, and judges, having different
duties to perform, cannot he jointly indicted for a misde
-1 meanor in office, unless it he stated in the indictment to
1 be such an act as tbe law reqnires'all to participate in.
Such are legal technicalities, and such the proceedings
which are rendering our courts and legal forms 11 mock- >
ery of justice It is said that Judge Parsons in this opin i
ion, expressed the unanimous sentiment of the Bench.— j
We, in condemning it, express the unanimous opinion of j
| outraged freemen. These forced constructions of law
have already greatly weakened the confidence of our
people in the judiciary, ami will yet lead to such a revi
i ion of our legal forms as shall abolish those technical 1
lies of law, through which the most guilty now escape.

The quotations for cotton are continued just
the same as at the departure of the last steam
er—fair upland and Mobile heing 4£d, fair
Orleans 4ijd, and middling of the three de
scriptions 4£ per lb. The market has been
very abundantly supplied, as was to be expect
ed after a month of such heavy import; and the
speculative demand has been suspended, so that
the operations of the consumers, though thev
have bought to a fair extent, have been only
juft sufficient to sustain former rates, with a
ianguid market throughout the week, but some
increase of firmness at the close.
The sales amount to 35.790 bales, of which
4500 are for export, and 700 on speculation.—
The import for the same time is 697,(KM) bales,
of which 526,000, is American.
Flour is dull and lower, some sales of West
ern having been made at 22- Od per brl. and
though that description as well as Philadelphia
and Baltimore is pretty generally held at 28s,
it is not attainable except in a retail way.—
