OPPOSITION TACTICS
Look out for all manner of falsehoods, to be
circulated to-day, against the Democratic can
didate for Mayor.
THE ELECTION--TO-DAY
The municipal election which comes off to
day, (Tuesday,) promises to be the most
exciting one of the kind that has ever taken
place in this City. The Opposition of all
grades and hues, in their desperation, are
resorting to every possible means, fair and
foul, to accomplish the defeat
,of the Demo
cratic ticket. Falsehoods, slanders, and mis
representations against the present Mayor
seem to be their favorite weapons ; and, in
addition, they are using money like water,
and openly and with unblushing effrontery
boasting of their ability to buv over Demo
crats to their side. In all our experience in
Lancaster we have never known any thing
like it before. Indeed, one would judge from
the excitement in the streets, that we are on
the eve of an election which will determine
the destinies of the Republic for ages to come.
Our Democratic friends are cool, but active
and determined, and will give a good account
of themselves to-day. We have never wit.
nessed a better spirit among them. There is
no division in our ranks. All feuds and
heart burnings, which have heretofore existed
and served to estrange Democrats from each
other, are obliterated, and they are now
moving gallantly forward, as one man, in
defence of their time-honored principles and
their candidates. The old watch-fires are
lighted up and burning brightly, and if our
friends continue to do their whole duty until
the polls close this evening, at 7 o'clock, there
can be no doubt as to the result.
TURN 00T, DEMOCRATS I
We hope that every Democratic vote in the
City will be cast to-day, and that there will
be no scratching on the part of our friends.—
Vote the whole ticket in your respective - wards,
without erasing a single name from any of
them. The candidates are all true and tried
men, were fairly placed in nomination, and
deserve the unanimous support of the Demo.
oratio party. Go to the Polls, with the firm
resolve to vote " the ticket, the whole ticket,
and nothing but the ticket."
VOTE EARLY!
The Polls open at 8 o'clock this morning,
and close at 7 in the evening. Let our friends
deposit their votes early in the day, before
the crowd becomes so great around -the win
down, and then they will meet with no inter
ruption. Our active men especially will then
be better able to attend to their neighbors,
Again we urge our Democratic friends to
vote early.
THE COHHITTEES.
Let every committee man do his duty faith
fally to-day. Let the Poll Committees be at
their posts all day, and the Block Committees
be also fictive and vigilant in the discharge of
their duty. Recollect that every vote counts,
and that every Democratic vote must be polled
to ensure success. The time for action has
arrived. Be- xletermined to win, and success
is certain over all the tricks and stratagems,
falsehoods and misrepresentations of the Re
publicap party.
GRUND'S NOMINATION CONFIRMED.—The
Senate, on Thursday, in Executive session,
spiritedly debated for more than two hours
the motion to reconsider the vote by which,
some weeks ago, Mi. Francis J. Grand was
rejected as Consul to Havre. The contest
was ended by confirming this appointment,
- the majority being unexpectedly large.

MATOlefl OFFICE,
LANCIXTI:I4 Jan. 30, 1860.
°sarcoma: In reply to your communication of the 28th
inst., permit me to say that the continued improvement in
the finances of the City of Lancaster, must be a source of
gratulation to the tax-payers, whose interests have been
faithfully and efficiently managed by all the departments
of the Municipal Government.
During the fiscal year now near its termination, the
records show that, with a revenue of some $5OOO less than
last year, (owing to the reduction of 8 per centrum in the
valuation made by the County Commissioners, and the
reduced rate of taxation of 5 cents in the $lOO made by
Councils,) every pecuniary demand has bees promptly met
upon presentation—besides liquidating bills to the amount
of $601,74, contracted but not presented for payment in
the previous year, of which $496,94 was for Gas, $68,30 for
Hardware for Water Works, and $38,50 for burying car
cases• whilst the special and annual appropriations have
been all enfficient for their objects, owing to the rigid. sys
tem of economy observed, and on several of the latter
handsome balances remain unexpended. The items re.
maining nndrawn in the Treasury are as follows:
Water Pipes and laying, $ 500,00
Miscellaneous Water Works expenses, 1592,36
Contingencies, 1441,34
In all, $3533,70
The aggregate unexpended balance of these three items
last year, per Treasurer's Annual Report, was $1833,53.
The amount expended on Street'. last year, was $3569,55
do. do. Water Works do. 305240
During the present year the account stands as follows :
Amount expended on Streets, $4113,45
do. do._ Water Works,. 21E4,18
The supply of water in the Reservoirs, during the present
year, has been at all times much greater than the con
aumption; and, although out of the annual appropriation
to the works, the usual outlay for steam pumping, during
low stages of the Conestoga, had necessarily to be incurred,
and the cost of a repair of considerable. extent in the bot
tom of the new Reservoir, (which . has so far proved of a
permanent and substantial character,) involving the sum
of $4.33,24, the expenditure in this branch has been $598,22
less than In the previous year.
The excess of $543,90 in this year over the disbursements
of last year for Streets, is owing to an increase in the
amount of work done, most of it of a substantial character,
and for the accommodation of the greater portion of the
petitioners for ouch improvements.
During the past two years no Water Pipes have been
laid in the City—consequently the appropriations remain
untouched in the Treasury.
The Sinking Fund, during the present year, has accumu
lated $2lOO, (which is a virtual reduction of the public
debt to that extent.) and now reaches the SUM of $95,883,81
—having been increased over $20,000 in the last four years.
Another similar reduction (5 cents in the $100) to that
made at the commencement of the present fiscal year, can
safely be made in the assessment of the tax for the ensuing
year, should no extraordinary expenses be incurred; but
that will be a subject for the deliberation of the new
Councils, and is one over which the incumbent of the.
Mayor's office has no control. Knowing, however, that it
can and ought to be done, in order to relieve the tax-payers
to that extent, I strongly recommend the reduction.
As the fiscal year has not yet closed, and several war
rants will still be drawn, it is impossible, for me to state
the exact balance which will remain in the Treasury at the
end of the year. I have no hesitation, however, in assert
ing that the sum will greatly exceed the balance remaining
on hand at the nose of the previous year.
I have thus been as explicit as possible. Gentlemen, in
answer to your request. The finances of the City have
never been in a more healthy condition than they are at
this moment, and it should be the earnest determination
of every good citizen to require of the corporate authorities
a rigid adherence to that system of economy and reform
from which such good results have already been realized.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, he.,
GEO. SANDERSON.

THE STRUGGLE ENDEDI
On Wednesday last, on the 45th ballot, lion.
WM. PENNINGTON, of New Jersey, was elected
Speaker of the 11. S. House of Reirresentatives.
The vote stood :
Pennington (Rep.) 117
McOlernand (Dem.) 85
Scattering 28
Messrs. Bocock and Sherman conducted the
Speaker to the Chair, when he made a short
address.
Mr. P. is said to be a National man, and
disavows any affinity with the sentiments
contained in the Helper book. Good feeling
appeared to prevail when the result was an.
nounced. May we not hope that the Speaker
will so discharge the high responsibilities of
his office, as that peace and harmony will be
restored to the councils of the Nation.
COL. FORNEY ELECTED CLERK:
On Friday, Col JOHN W. FORNEY, of Phila
delphia, was elected Clerk of the House of
Representatives at Washington—all the Re
publicans voting for him. The vote stood
FORNEY 112 ; ALLEN (Dem.) 77 ; TAYLOR,
(Amer.) 23 ; and 9 scattering. Messrs. Clark,
of New York, and Riggs, of New Jersey, who
had not voted for Mr. Pennington, voted for
Col. Forney.
HENRY W. HOFFMAN, (Amer.) of Maryland,
was elected Sergeant-at-Arms, when the
House adjourned over till Monday.

that Borough, for the Gubernatorial nomina
tion, at Reading.
The Alleghany delegates to the State Con
vention are divided in their preferences
between Col. WM. HOPKINS, of Washington
county, and Hon. JOHN L. DewsoN, of Fay
ette, for Governor. So says the Washington
Examiner.
Perry county sends her delegate to the
State Convention without instructions.
The Democratic Convention of Chester
County assembled at West Chester on Tuesday,
Rs E. Monaghan, Esq., presiding. Wm. G.
Maitland, Dr. E. C. Evans and John Gallen
were chosen Representative Delegates to the
Reading Convention; and Hon. John P.
Bailey named as Senatorial Delegate. Strong
national and conservative resolutions, and

anan, Judge Black, Senator Bigler, and State
Senator Bell, were adopted, and the Delegates
to Reading were unanimously instructed to
support Hon. NIMROD STRICKLAND of Chester
County, for the office of Governor.
DEATH Op HON. JOEL JONES.--.ThO HOLL Joel
Jones, prominent as a jurist, for many !years
a Judge of the District Court, and at one
time Mayor of Philadelphia, died yesterday,
aged 64. He had been in failing health for
several months.
g Hon. W. D. Bishop has resigned the
office of Commissioner of Patents, and; Hon.
Philip F. Thomas of Maryland, has been ap
pointed his successor.
THANKFUL FOR - SMALL FAVORS.
The Republicans, says the Harrisburg
Patriot, try very hard to appear rejoiced .at
the result of the contest in the House of
Representatives ; but the election of Mr.
Pennington is not the victory they labored for
through eight long weeks: The same result
might have been attained in first or second
week of the session, if the Republiorins had
consented to drop Mr. Sherman. But this
they would not do. Sherman or nobody, was
their rallying cry; and they would-unques
tionably have continued to support Sherman,
" till the _crack of doom," as Mr. Stevens
pledged himself, had not a sudden panic
seized them, and compelled his withdrawal.
Mr. Pennington does not suit the purposes
of the Republican organization as well as Mr.
Sherman. He does not represent genuine out
and out Republicanism of the Seward stamp.
Being an old man of moderate means, he
cannot be used with the same facility in the
construction of committees for partizan pur
poses ; nor can he. be relied upon, from the
fact of his Whig antecedents, to support a
Presidential candidate of the ultra Republi
can school against one of moderate and censer
-
votive leanings. That he was not the choice of
the Republican Congressmen is evident from
the fact that they resisted his election during
eight weeks, when it was clear that he or
some one of the same stamp could he chosen
by a majority.
One of the most amusing exhibitions in
connection with the election of Mr. Penning
ton is to witness the Republican organs
ascribing " great credit" to the Pennsyl
vania members in making the first stam
pede from Sherman last Friday. They are
quite fortunate, these self same members, in
receiving praise for everything they do. First
the Legislature commended their course in
adhering with so much fidelity to Sherman.—
Then their party friends praised them for un
electing Mr. Smith; and now they receive
" great credit" for voting for Pennington.—
Political infidelity must be at a premium among
the Opposition of this State, who " dance
about, and turn about, and do just so,"
whenever directed by their official leaders.
Mr. Sherman's speech upon withdrawing
his name from the contest was happily
described upon the floor of the House as a
mournful valedictory to his deserting troops.
Disguise the disappointment as they may,
every genuine Republican feels that Sherman's
defeat was a serious repulse. They failed in
the main object of the eight week's fight, and
were at last compelled to save themselves from
utter defeat by taking an Old Line Whig,
whb is in favor of the fugitive slave law as it
now stands.
The Negro Question, besides stopping the 'I
wheels of the American Government, disturb
ing the peace of the country, threatening to
dissolve the Union, and creating riots in
Upper Canada, has entered England. The
London papers have almost as much to say
about it as ours have had. And, besides dis
cussing our affairs, they have an incident
brought to their notice immediately among
themselves. Mr. Dallas, our Minister to
London, being called on to viser for the
continent, the passport of one S. P. Remond,
declined, on the ground that she was a col
ored woman and not an American citizen.
She immediately brought the matter before
the English public, through the press, and
England has, of course, a few words to say on
the subject. It seems hard that colored peo
ple from America cannot obtain the common
protection of travelers in Europe, and Mr.
Dallas may be censured for refusing his visa.
But he could not do otherwise, without
violating the policy of the government, which
distinctly refuses to recognize negroes as citi
zens. The censure must fall on those above
Mr. Dallas. Ile was simply obeying orders.
Miss Remond, it appears, had a passport
from Secretary Cass, in which she is desciibed
as an American citizen. But this was proba
bly obtained by application through a notary,
wbo dill not clearly state that the applicant
was a negro.
The Board of Revenue Commissioners met
at Harrisburg last week. The Board is
composed of one member from each Judicial
District, who is elected by the President and
Associate Judges. ion. Jos.. KONIGMACHER
of Ephrata, is the member from this District. ,
This Board meets every three years. It is
their duty to ascertain and determine the fair
and just value of the property in the city of
Philadelphia, and the several counties of this
Commonwealth, made taxable by law, adjust
ing and equalizing the same as far as possible
so as to make all taxes bear as equally as
practicable upon all the property in the Com
monwealth in proportion to its actual value ;
and having determined the same, shall make
a fair record of the said valuation in dupli
cate and file one copy thereof, duly attested by
the signature of the said revenue commission
ers, in the office of the State Treasurer, and
one copy thereof in the office of the Auditor
General, to be and remain as the valuation of
the said property, till the next meeting of the
board as herein provided for.

U 6— During our visit to Lowell we were
shown through the Laboratory of our celebra
ted countryman, Dr. J. C. AYER. Scarcely
could we have believed what is seen there
without proof beyond disputing. They con
sume a barrel of solid Pills, about 50,000
doses and 3 barrels of Cherry Pectoral, 120,
000 doses per diem. To what an inconceiva
ble amount of human suffering does this point !
170,000 doses a day ! I Fifty million of doses
per year !!! What abres and thousands of
acres of sick beds does this spread before the
imagination ! And what sympathies and
woe I True, not all of this is taken by the
very sick, but, alas, mnch of it is. This
Cherry Drop and this sugared Pill are to be
the companion of pain and anguish and
sinking sorrow—the inheritance our mother
Eve bequeathed to the whole family of man.
Here the infant darling has been touched too
early by the blight that withers half our race.
Its little lungs are affected and only watching
and waiting shall tell which way its breath
shall turn. This red drop on its table is the
talisman on which its life shall hang. There
the blossom of the world just bursting into
womanhood, is stricken also. Affections
most assiduous care skills not, she is still
fading away. The wan messenger comes
nearer and nearer every week. This little
medicament shall go there, their last perhaps
their only hope. • The strong man has plant
ed in his vitals this same disease. This red
drop by his side is helping him wrestle with
the inexorable enemy:; the wife of his bosom
and the cherubs of his heart are waiting in
sick sorrow and fear lest the rod on which
they lean - in this world, be broken.

IMPROVEMENT.—On stepping into the Res

Swan Hotel, Centre Square, we were agreeably surprised
at the handsome improvement made therein. He has
completely metamorphosed his Saloon. It is now divided
off into neat and convenient apartments, where his hosts
of customers and friends can enjoy their lunches in quiet

COLD WEATHER.—The coldest weather this
Winter we experienced in this region was on Thursday
and Friday last. The thermometer on Friday morning
was 10° below zero. Whew ! but It wee cold. The cold
weather was preceded by a regular old fashioned snow
storm.
THE VALUE OF TIME.-If time is valuable
to those who have caught a cold, so that they cannot stop
from their ordinary avocations, wo would, by the way of
salutary advice, throw in a hint in behalf of Dr. Keyser's
Pectoral Cough Syrup, a medicine that has many a time
cured a case of cough in ono night, by the administration
of a table-spoonful or two taken at bed time. Numbers of
our citizens can endorse our statement in this respect. It
is besides a pleasant medicine to take, and every bottie of
it is prepared by Dr. Keyser's own hands. Sold at 50 cents
and $1 by C. A. Heinitsh and all Druggists.
TOOTHACHE.—This disease can be cured by
Dr. Keyser's Toothache Remedy, prepared by him in Pitts
burgh, Pa., which is put up in bottles and sold at 20 cents
each. It is an excellent medicine, when diluted, for spongy
and tender gums, and is worth ten times its price to all
who need it. Sold here by C. A. Heinitsh and all Druggists.
A UNION SPEECH. BY THE SPEAKER
The following interesting incident we clip
from the Washington Star, of Thursday
evening :
Mr. Pennington was waited upon last
evening, at Willard's, by numerous friends,
who, after exchanging the usual salutations,
and congratulating him on his elevation to
the high and honorable post of Speaker, were
invited to accept of that gentleman's hospi
tality.
At eleven o'clock Withers' Band arrived
and serenaded him, performing in spirited
style a number of national airs,. Some, two
hundred or more persons were jet short time
assembled, and as soon as the band had con
cluded, three cheers were given for Mr. Penn
ington, and then loud calls made for that
gentleman.
Mr. Pennington, on being introduced, said :
"I am very much indebted to you, my
friends, for the pleasing visit that you have
made to me this night. When we hear a
national air, it always satisfies me that we
belong to one country, and I have no belief in
the doctrine that the time is near at hand, or
can be, that we are to be separated. We are
one people, and I trust in Heaven that we
shall ever remain so. There will always be
in a free country like oursdiversities of opinion,
different views, and a great variety of interests
which must necessarily prevail ; but there is
a spirit of patriotism that burns in our hearts
that will not yet be extinguished. Our land
is a land of freemen, our liberties were
achieved by great exertions and services of
our fathers, and I believe no man in this
generation will let this blessed inheritance go
to pieces. And if we dd wrong at one time,
you remember the saying of Mr. Clay, that
old patriot, when he went home to Kentucky,
after having voted for the compensation law,
on being addressed by some old man, who
said, Clay, you have done wrong.' Well,'
says be, my friend, if TM were out gunning,
and on pulling the trigger your gun didn't go
off, what would you do? Would you throw
it away, or would you try it over again ?'—
Nay, said he, ' I would pick the flint and
try it over.' Now, if anything is done wrong
in this country, a little time will make it right,
because we have a national feeling and a
national honor.
When I heard the national air played as
you came in here to-night, it went to my
heart; and I said as long as our national
songs remain, this country will be united.—
Discordant States! I think no man in his
sober senses can agree to any such proposi
tion. I tell you now there neVer was a great
er mistake than to believe that northern men
have any bad feeling against Southern men,
or the body of Southern men against Northern.
My friends,. it always belongs to republican
institutions, that these must be a great ,variety
of public opinion upach all questions ; and our
only security is to bear and to forbear; and
the strength of our institutions depends upon
love of country. And if we are not imbued
with patriotic feelings, there is no hope for
the stability of our country. But my faith
is this, that -we all love our country, and that
we will abide by her destiny for good or for
evil.
I thank you for the high compliment which
I feel you have bestowed upon me by this visit.

organization had been effected by the selection

high position to which I have just been

var. We call the attention of our readers to
an article advertized in another Column,
called Dr. BRONSON'S BLOOD Foon. It is an
entirely new discovery, and must not be
confounded with any of the numerous patent
medicines of the day. It is food for tire blood,
already prepared for absorption ; pleasant to
the taste and natural in action, and what one
gains he retains. Let all those, then, who
are suffering from poverty, impurity, or
deficiency of blood, and consequently with
some chronic disease or ailment, take of this
BLOOD FOOD and be restored to health. We
notice that our druggists have received a
supply of this article, and also of the world
renowned Dr. EATON'S INFANTILE CORDIAL,
which every mother should have. It is said
to contain no paregoric or opiate of any kind
whatever, and of course must be invaluable
for all infantile complaints. It is also said
that it will allay all pain, and soften the
gums in process of teething, and at the same
time regulate the bowels. Let all mothers
and nurses, who have endured anxious days
and sleepless nights, procure a supply and be
at once relieved. See advertisement.

ANOTHER MAIL ROBBER AaaasTED.---United
States Deputy Marshal Dougherty arrested a
young man named Bartley Thompson, at
Huntingdon, on Monday the 23d inst , on a
charge of robbing the post office at Millcreek,
in Huntingdon county. The post office is
kept in a dry goods store, and Thompson, as
is alleged, besides carrying off a number of
letters, also appropriated to himself some dry
goods, which were found in the woods where
he was in the habit of loafing. A lock and
key belonging to the mail bag in the post
office was found on him.
A VALUABLE TREdBIIHY.—The new Treasu

Horace H. Day, of New York, instituted suit against
twenty four firms in this city, some time sines, for an
alleged infringement of Day's India Rubber patents. On
Tuesday last the cases came up for a hearing before his
Honor Judge Treat, of the United States Circuit Cm rt.
After argument, the Court yesterday granted the injunc_

The Pike's Peak Express Company have decided to run
in connection with their line, a Pony Express from Lem ,
enworth to. Sacramento, California. The time is fixed at
ten days, and under the tidmirable sy - stel of this Com
pany there is little doubt that this will be accomplished.
The Poet Office Department has also ordered the Utah
mail service back to its original time, making a weekly
instead of a semi-monthly mail.
In addition to the amount of gold received by the
arrival of the Express yesterday, about po,ooo is reported
as having been brought in by private hand.
The statement of the loss of 1,700 head of cattle in Ruby
Valley, Utah, belonging to Russell, Majors k Waddell, is
discredited, as the private advicas of this firm, up to the
departure of the mail, make no mention of it.
The winter In Salt Lake Valley is reported as having
been very severe, and has, doubtless, been fatal, to some
extent, fo the stock watered there.
The mall was packed as far as Fort Laramie. The com
mand at that poet was in good health.
Considerable disorder existed at Camp Floyd, and a
soldier had been murdered by an unknown assassin. Gen.
Johnston was using every exertion to preserve quiet.
The Salt Lake Valley Tan says. of over two' hundred
murders committed In that Territory within the past
three years, not a single offender has been convicted or
punished.
It would seem that the South is using all fair and
honorable means to bring about a restoration of that
union and harmony, and mutual confidence that macs
existed—prior to the advent of Black Republicanism—
between all sections of the confederacy. But whether it
be possible for the ultra Abolitionists of the Northern
States to unite with the South in the mission of peace end
good will, is yet to be seen. Unless a better feeling soon
exists between the North and South, you will Mid that
much heretofore purchased In the free States by those lir
ing in the South, will be bought exclusively in the South,
and no more Northern contracts tor goods will ho made•
We have already heard of several companies who con
template erecting factories in the Son th.—one for the manu
facture of Boots and Shoes; another for Domestics, Izc.'
and in a short time these companies will be ready to com-
mence operations.
Indeed, your merchants in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston already feel the effect that Black Republicanism is
having upon their business, and they will yet find that
tin it sales to the South this year will not reach oneebalf
those of previous seasons, and they will year after year
grow less. ,The election of a Black Republican President,
will loss every Northern merchant his Southern custom.
It is hard that the innocent should suffer with the guilty,
but it must be so, until "convincing facts" clear their
skirts of Black Republicanism. Why, there is capital
enough in St. Louis, to commence any and every menu.
facttring branch requirpd. The same may be said of New
Orleans, Memphis, and Louisville. The Northern merchants
can compare their Southern sales up to the first of Sep
tember next, with the same months the year, or two years
previous, and we think by the time the November, or
Presidential election, comes on, they eau decide whether
it is better for them to have a black Republican President
and no trade in the West and South—which comprises
four fifths of all their sales—or a good Southern trade and
a Democratic President, who will recognize nt North, no
East, no West, no South, but the entire O lion. Wo are
inclined to think the latter will be the meat preferable.
The Legislatures of the different Southern States are
doing all in their power to bring about a better tooling,
but if it cannot be done, the people are ready for the
"impending crisis." The Legislatures of Kentucky and
Tennessee united a few days since. and visited Madison,
Ind., where they wore received with extravagant enthusi
asm. Tuesday evening they visited Louisville, and were
entertained at a Union Banquet." Several stirring Union
speeches were made, and the following are the some of
the patriotic regular toasts:
Tennessee—ln this national crisis she will cherish in
her heart of hearts the noble mmtiments of her patriot
hero, " The Union, it must be preserved."
Kentucky—lf treason to the Union shall prevail in the
North or in the South, our noble State will stand between
the two sections as stood the people of old between the
living and the dead, to stay the progress of the pestilence.
(Iteponded to by the Governor of Kentucky.)
Tennessee and Kentucky—Twin sisters, bound together
in an indissoluble embrace by geographical position,
identity of interests, of habits, of manners nod pursuits,
and by a heartfelt devotion to our glorious National
Union.
The Federal Constitution—lts inviolability the only
permanent guarantee for the preservation -of the Union
and fidelity to its precepts the truest test of ;patriotism.
Indiana—Our neighbor and sister; she permits no irre.
pressible conflict of prejudice to silence her sense of social
and political duty
(Responded to by Governor Willard, of Indiana.)
The Union-loving Men of the North—We hail with
pleasure and reciprocate their manifestations of paternal
regard. We honor them for their noble vindication of the
Constitutional rights of the South.
(Responded to by a number from Tennessee and one
from Kentucky.)
From Louisville, they proceeded to Ohio, and were
greeted at every point with loud and enthusiastic cheers.
The excursion train, numbering seventeen cars, arrived at
Cincinnati, from Columbus, on the 27th, containing the
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio Legislatures, and the
military of Springfield, Columbus and Dayton, and was
received at the depot by an immense crowd of citizens. A
procession was formed and marched through the streets,
which were densely thronged, to Pike's Opera House,
where the reception took place. The hospitalities of the
'city were tendered by Mayor Bishop. Speeches were made
by Judge Storer, Gov. Magottlu, of Kentucky, Lieut. Gov.
Dennison. of Ohio, and others. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and the Opera House wad thronged to its utmost
capacity. .Tho crowd in the neighborhood of the Opera
House was the greatest ever witnessed in Cincinnati. The
efforts of the entire police force was almost powerless to
force a passage for the procession. It appeared as if the
whole city had turned out to wePome the distinguished
gueets. The enthusiasm was intense. The streets were
decorated with flags, mottoes,
In the evening a grand Banquet came off at the Burnet
House, and the next day the entire Fire Department waa
on parade. This has been a most happy reunion between
Tennessee and Kentucky on the one side. and Ohio and
Indiana on the other. .These States, with Illinois and
lowa are ready and willing to stand by the South, in the
hour of trial, for her constitutional rights and privileges.
Gov. Wickliffe, of Louisiana, in his retiring message to
the Legislature, recommends that that State should meet
in convention with the other Southern States, to consult
together and adopt means of mutual safety. He thinks that
the South should adopt retaliatory measures against the
North, in self-defense, if it can be done without violation of
law.- As to the manner of retaliation, the Governor of Louisi
ana says that distinguished jurists, men learned in the law,
have expressed the deliberate opinion that the Legislature
of any State can, bye system of licensing, or by special
taxation, inflict such discrimination upon goods, when ex
posed for sale within their jurisdiction, as will amatint to
absolute prohibition. On this point he expresses no posi
tive opinion, and only suggests the subject, It having been
favorably mentioned in high quarters.
It seems to be the intention of the people of Minnesota
to so amend the Constitution of that State—by cutting
down all departments of the Government, either in salaries
or number of officers; reducing the Legislature one-half
-15 Senators and 45 Representatives, and in this and other
ways simplifying the governmental machinery and very
much reducing expenses.
The Nebraska Territorial Legislature adjourned on the
14th inst.
The State Penitentiary of Illinois, le to be removed from
Alton to Joliet.
Leavenworth City, Kansas, was illuminated with gas
for the first time, on Monday night last.
It is said that the peach buds in the vicinity of Bloom-
Ington, Ind., have all been killed by the frost. We have
the same information from various parts of Ohio. The
orange trees in the South, have also been greatly injured
by the recent cold spell. The Mobile (Ala.) Mercury says
of the orange trees of that vicinity, the pride and beauty
of suburban Mobile—" that of late, where stood those
beautiful green pets, which, in most cases, had been
planted and trained by the tenderest guardians, and
brought to their inimitable perfection by woman's foster
ing care—now stands an ugly scraggy skeleton. Those
rich golden balls that peeped so temptingly from out their
leafy retreats, now stands out barn, shriveled and dry as
powder gourds. The rich green mantle in which they
were arrayed, now cumbers the ground—a blighted and
sere debris."
The steamer A. 0. Tyler, wee sunk in the Ohio, below
Cincinnati, on the 27th. She was bound for New Orleans
with a heavy and valuable cargo. The bot was worth
$25,000 and Insured for $15,000. No hues were lost.
The Ice in the Upper Missiesippi river is still firm, and
Is from six to fifteen inches in thickness, and the sleighing
is excellent on it all the way from Galena to St. Paul, and
sleighs and loaded sleds , are passing over it, the whole dis
tance.
The Wiard Ice Boat, pent to the Upper Mississippi for
trial, has proved a great failure.. Yon might just as well
try to'run the "ice boat:" on the top of a hemlock foreet,
as on the ice of the Mississippi, for it is generally rough,
and In some places ten and fifteen feet high, and even a
•
sled cannot pass over it, until a road la leveled down for
the purpose.
We are informed that the Minnesota Parket Company
and the Northern Line plying' between St. Louie and St.
Pool, have consolidated their stock—Organized .ene line,
with stock valued at $600,000, and liabilities for only $50,000.
The line numbers thirty-eight first-class passenger steam
ers. They Will commence operations on the opening of
'navigation.
The official officers of the State of lowa are, perhaps, the
ta2kst of any one State in the Union. John W. Jones, is
six feet three; Jonathan W. Cottle, Auditor, six feet two;
A. B. Miller. Register, six feet; and Thomas IL Banton,
(not Old Bullion,) Secretary of the Board of Education, is
also six feet. Elijah Sells, Secretary of State, makes up in
width what he lacks in length.
Politically, we have very little of interest to report.
There are now some six or eight names suggested as Gov
ernor for this State. The different counties are selecting
their delegates to the State Convention, which promises to
be one of the largest, as well as most important meetings
of the Democracy over hold in the Border State. The
dele g ates to the Charleston Convention, we are inclined to
think, will go uninstructed, but if instructed will support
Daniel S. Dickhasonfiret, John 0. Breckinridv next, and
the nominee of the National Convention whoever he may be.
OLD GUARD.
MORE SWINDLING.—The Republican State
Treasurer of Michigan has followed in the
footsteps of the Rev. Peck, of Maine, and is
found to be a - defaulter, according to the
report Of the commissioners appointed to audit
his accounts. The following is the conclusion
of the report, which contains the whole gist of
the matter:—" We therefore find that the
said Sam McKinney has received of the State
of Michigan, as State Treasurer, the said six
last mentioned sums of one hundred and ten
thousand one hundred and ninety eight and
75 100ths dollars ($110,198 75)j which we do
not find to be in the State Treasury, or secured
by approved bonds, as required by law."
FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHES.—The mails and
telegraph bring a series of horrors. A tene
merit house in New York was burned on
Thursday night, by which some thirty or forty
lives were lost. An explosion on Friday, in
Ames & Molton's hat factory., New York,
demolished the building, burying twelve or
fifteen workmen in the ruins. The residence
of Daniel Early, near Hyde Park, Pa., was
burned on Thursday night, three children
perishing in the flames. Three fine residen
ces on Lexington avenue, New York, were
also burned on Thursday night. Six cars,
freighted with twelve hundred bales of cotton,
were burned on the South Carolina Railroad
on Tuesday.
NOT TRUE.—The story copied into the
Republican papers, from the Carlisle Herald,
that Mr. Jacob Dorsheimer, of Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland county, Pa., who "has recently
purchased land in Virginia, was compelled to
leave the State, a few weeks ago, on suspicion
of being concerned in an insurrectionary
movement—a load of guano, which he was
hauling home, having been mistaken for
powder l—turns out, as we suspected at the
time, to be a wholesale falsehood and hoax.—
Mr. Dorsheimer has authorized the Llarrisburg
Patriot & Union to say that there is not a
word of truth in the story. He was never
molested during his visits to Virginia, and
has always been kindly treated by all the
people of that State. Will the Republican
papers please " overhaul and make a note of ?"
THE GAMBLING HELLS OF WASHINGTON.-A
correspondent of the Hartford Post thus
speaks of the gambling hells of Washington :
The gamblers, it is said, have suffered
severely by the scarcity of money here, and
several well kndwn estatlishments are report.
ed as nearly bankrupt. There are about
forty of these "hells," mostly on Pennsylva
nia avenue, in the vicinity of -the National
Hotel, although Jo. Hall (who succeeded
Pendleton) has fitted up a house near Wil
lard's. Supper tables are set nightly at all
of them, good tare and choice wines attracting
many, who afterwards are tempted to play.
Of course, the " bank " has great chances in
its favor, or these establishments could not be
supported, and this is generally known. But
a fascination for the excitement, with a hope
of a run of good luck, prompts hundreds to
hazard more or less.
Strange stories are told of those afflicted
with this sad mania of indulging in one of the
worst of vices. A prominent politician now
here, when appointed minister to a foreign
court about ten years since, actually lost his
"outfit" and first quarter's salary the very
day on which he drew it from the Treasury,
and had hard work to borrow enough money
to leave the country with. A Senator, more
lucky, once won over eight thousand dollars
in a single night ; and similar tales of gain
and of loss are told about men who occupy
a high position in political life. It is to be
regretted that some legislation cannot be
devised by which these foul excrescences on
life at the national metropolis can be cut off.
FAST Woax.—Mr. Thomas Rambo. of this
city, made in one day last week, of 91 hours'
work, 225 horse shoes, of which number 27
were forged in the first hour ! This is fast
work, and hard to beat, but it was in a manner
equalled by Mr. Benjamin Gehris, blacksmith,
Washington street, between Fourth and Fifth,
who turned out 245 horse shoe nails in one
hour! Messrs. Rambo and Gehris are decid
edly a fast team in the blacksmith line. Can
anybody beat them ?—Reading Gazette.
stir The members of the Kentucky and
Tennessee Legislatures, with some of the
State officers of those States, visited the Leg
islature of Ohio, at Columbus, week 'before
last, and were received and treated in a very
-handsome manner. They were also treated
to a banquet at Cincinnati, on their way home,
to which place they were escorted by the
Ohio Legislature and State officers

developed, it is not altered by washing or atmospheric
agents.
