The citizens of New Providence township, it appeared, wore opposed to the road and unwilling to work on it. Those interested in having it made brought the case to the attention of tin? Court on several occasions, and the Supervisors from timo to lime promised to have it made. They finally opened it, but not according to the order of the Court.- It was .made so narrow that wagons and carriages could not pass each other.

Democratic Coun ty Convention—Large and Enthusi astic Assemblage —President John son’s Restoration Policy Endorsed — Delegates to State Convention, <fcc. —At 11 o’clock on Wednesday, file hour for the assembling of the Democratic County Convention having arrived, A. J. Stein man, Esq., Chairman of the County Com mittee called the Convention to order. On motion Dr. Henry Carpenter was elected President, Dr. Carpenter on taking his seat said: Gentlemen of the Convention: lam happy to see so large an assemblage of delegates from all parts of the county. It is a good omen. The Democratic party has alwayß been ready to meet the great questions pre sented to the consideration of the American people. Taking its stand at its start upon the Constitution,.it has neverswerved from its reverence for that sacred instrument and its love for the Union. It stands to day, as it did in ail the past, ready to do battle for both. The most significant sign of the times is to be found in the fact that its opponents have been forced from their original posi tion. To-day Andrew Johnson stands in opposition to such radical disunionists as Stevens and Sumner. He stands upon a Democratic platform, because he has shown himself unwilling to depart from the teach ings of the Constitution. The night, let us hope, is past—day dawns, and the ultimate and permanent triumph of the great Consti tutional Union-loving Democratic party draws nigh. Thanking you heartily for your partiality shown in calling me to pre side over your deliberations, I declare this Convention organized and ready to proceed to business. j The following gentlemen were elected VICE PRESIDENTS l John Yohn, (West Ilempfild.

Reese Millersville. ,—Tliis month among thejaucients was recognized as the first of the year; and it continued to be the beginning of the legal year in England up to 1752. There is some sound logic for placing this month at the head of the calendar, as it is the first season after the dead of* the year in which a de cided evidence of a renewal of growth in vegetation takes place. The Romans called this montl} Martins, after Mars, the God of war. The Saxons styled it Lcnet Moral , because of thelengtheningof thedays..This title gave origin also to the term Lent, which is now recognized by certain Chris tians as a season of fasting, prayer, and other works of atonement. '• This month,” says Brays, “is portrayed as a mail of tawny color and tierce aspect, with a helmet on his head—so far typical of Mars, and appropriate to the season he is represented as leaning on a spade, witli al mond blossoms in his left hand; and in his right the sign of Aries, or the Ram, which the sun enters on the doth of March ; there by denoting the augmented force of the sun’s rays, which in ancient hieroglyphics were expressed by the horns of animals.” 11l Wales the iirstof March is held as a strict holiday and is known as St. David's day. March is known as a dry and windy month, and consequently is good for plant ing and sowing. If it should happen to be a calm, rainy period it would have a very injurious effect upon the crops. This factis embodied in numerous proverbs as: “A peck of March dust is worth a king's ran som,” “a dry March never begs." Itis, too, a peculiarity of this month that if the first part be line and pleasant, Hint its exit will .be accompanied by blustering, stormy weather. .Spenser, the fatiier of English verse, says of March “ sturdy March, with brows fu ] Hternly bent And armed strongly, rode upon a mm. Tile same that over Hellespontus swam ; Yet In ids hand a spado he also bent, And In a bag ail sorts of weeds 'y same Which on tile earth lie strewed as he went, And tilled her womb with fruitful nourishment.

The Murdered Man fol lowing communication in reference to the murder of Henry Balse, at Washington, on Saturday night, was received by Captain Frailey, Chief of Police of this city, to-day: Washington City, March 5, 1860. To the Chief of Police , Lancaster , Pa. : Sir: A man by the name of Henry Balse, 24 years of age, was shot on the 4th inst., who has left a considerable amount of money and other property, all of which is in the hand 9 of one James H. Carney, now stopping in Washington. There is no one here that knows Baise’s family so as to write to them, and no papers can be found in his trunk that will lead to his family. So you will see by this we wish the police of Lancaster to try and find his family and let them know of his death and money. There is §l,OOO or §l,lOO in cash and other property. I send you a newspaper of the particulars, which it would be well to have published in your papers. Weunderstand that Henry Balse has a brother near or in Lancaster, Pa., and is believed to be a farmer or a gardener. Henrv Balse was a soldier. The paper I send will give you his company and regiment. He was shot by a negro. Do all you can as soon as you can. His body will be embalmed. If you find his friends send them to Washington City, D. C., to see me. James Johnson, Sergeant 2d Precinct, Metropolitan Police, corner of 7th and Boundry streets. The following account of the burglary and homicide is given in the Washington Chronicle: Burglary and Homicide.—On Saturday night last a terrible tragedy occurred at a house on the estate ofthe late Joseph Gales, about 1 mile north of the city limits, in which a burglary was committed, and a promising young man named Henrv Balse was shot and killed by a burglar. Yester day morning Coroner Woodward graphedfor tohold an inquest on the remains ofthe unfortunate man. Before the jury impaneled, of which Mr. George Leach was foreman, the following facts appeured : Mr. John W. Curd, a dairyman, who re sides on the meadow portion of Eckington, a portion ofthe above-named estate, and who is about fifty years of age, testified that at about half-past 10 o'clock, on Satur day night, some parties appeared at the door ou the south side of his house and knocked. He proceeded to the door and asked who was there, but received no satis factory reply, and concluded not to admit them. They then demanded admission, and finally commenced to effect an entrance by forcing the door open. By this time the witness had started one of his children out the back way to bunt aid for him. The girl ran in a northwesterly direction a dis tance of about four hundred yards, when she arrived at the late residence of Mr. Gales, deceased. Here she secured the as sistance of Mr. Henry Balse and Mr. Jef ferson Oxley, Mr. Balse starting first toward the besieged house, and Mr. Oxley following as quickly as he could prepare to do so. Before either of them arrived at the house the burglars (two negroes and a white man) forced the door open withau ironjim my and entered. One of the negroes im mediately seized witness and pointed a navy revolver to his breast, saying if he dared to move he would shoot him. The other negro and the whiteman passed into a back room, each witli a navy revolver in hand, and theblack man earryinga lighted candle.— The white man opened a bureau drawer and look out a number of articles, until he came to a package of money—ten or twelve dollars—which he pocketed. About this time witness heard Mr. Balse calling outside the house, and he shouted for him to hurry in, when the negro who held him struck him a heuvy blow on the nose with a revolver, and then turned to the door. When Mr. Balse was in the act of crossing the porch to the door, the negro fired at him, and Balse disappeared. The witness here described the dress and ap pearance of tin* villains. The other two men then rushed out, witness said, and shot after Balse just as Mr. Oxley was coming on the porch, when they fired"at him, rushed past him and escaped. The wife of witness testified to the same facts related by her husband. Mr. Jefferson Oxley was sworn, and his statement corresponded with the above.— He said, in addition, that he procured a light after the burglars had escaped, and searched for Mr. Balse, but could not find him. Early in the morning witness traced Balse by his blood, in a northeasterly di rection from the house, about two huiulred yards, where he found his lifeless body, he not being able to climb over the fence. Dr. Thomas C. Smith and Edwards ex amined the body of the deceased, and found that a ball had entered just below the right groin and passed directly through the fe moral vein, completely severing it and causing death. The ball could not be found, and it is supposed that it was forced out by running; The jury then proceeded to the rootn occupied by the deceased, a few yards distant from the Gales mansion, where his .effects were examined. In his trunk were found §OU in Treasury notes, which, togeth er with about §lO insilvcVand small cur rency found on liis person, amounted to §7O or upward, a silver watch and numerous other articles of value. A letter addressed to deceased by Dr. G. L. Pancoast, then in charge of Finley L’nitedStateshospitul near by, stated that deceased was a trustworthy young muu; that he hud been a soldier three years, and was a non-commissioned officer, and was hospital steward. His dis charge showed that he was about twenty four years of age, was born in Lancaster, Pa., was a non-commissioned officer in company G, 12th Penna. Reserves, and discharged at Harrisburg, l’a. James H. Carney was hero sworn, and testified that he and deceased had been in the grocery business a short time at No. 245 Seventh street, and had recently sold out; there still remained some articles on hand which he and deceased had not disposed of. Deceased was u Frenchman, anu hail a brother somewhere near Lancaster. Wit ness and deceased had arranged to start to St. Louis, Missouri, on Monday evening, there to go into business. Tliejury agreed to turn the effects of de ceased over to Mr. Carney, he promising to dispose of them properly, and Ihe verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts.. No clue to the burglars has yet been ob tained. The Play of “ The Marble Heart'' at the Theatre last evening was the finest in all respects ever presented to a Lancaster audi ence. In the make up of the characters, grouping of the actuary, etc., the most ex cellent taste was displayed, and the different roles were artistically executed. Mr. J. T. Fannin, as “ Phidias” and “ Raphael l>u chatlet," more than surpassed himself. He is certainly an actor of brilliant and versa tile talents. His deep musical voice, clear as the tinkling of a bell, never appeared to better advantage, and his acting fairly took the audience by storm. The grouping of the Statues, “Aspasia,” ‘‘Lais” and “Phayne”—Mrs. Harrison, Miss Vache and M’lle De Leoin—wasgrandiy conceived and executed. They looked for “ all the world” like marble statuary. Tho charac ters assumed by tho other members of the Company were fully up to their usual ex cellence. We would especially commend the acting of Mr. It. If. Leveru as natural and life-like, and respectfully suggest to the gentlemanly manager the propriety of as signing to him more leading characters In tho fuLure. Ilis talents, fine appoarnneo and tinoxceptionublo conduct urn cortainly worthy of such promotion. Tho music for thoplay was given in Kof fer’s best style, and was churmiugly sweet and melodious. The after-piece of “ French boforo Break fast,” in which the inimitable Sum Hemple appeared as the keeper of a fashionable boarding-house, excited the risibilities of tho audience to such an extent that many thought it was almost time to have an in surance on tho capacity oftheir lungs, aides, vests and suspenders. Good bye to “blue devils,” <Sx\, when Sam Hemple makes his appearance. Visiting Committees.— John B.

A correspondent of the New York Times, in traveling the coast of Florida and Georgia, found a woman who did not even know what a newspaper was. Happy woman !

Seward, in New York ; he did not endorse him or his speech, but Henry J. Raymond ; no name having been mentioned the reporter naturally fell into the mistake; he had not yet forgotten the tiuk ling of Mr. Seward's bell, and should be ashamed to endorse him or his speech und let it go before his constituents. Mr. Stevens—He did not endorse Mr. Seward, he endorsed me and Mr. Raymond. [Laughter.] Mr. Rogers. lam again represented in the Xew "York Tribune as wanting the Con federate debt paid, alluding to a head line in the Tribune. I did not make any such argument. I simply stated that each Stale should be lelt to do as it pleased about the Rebel debt. lam now here to suv, and I wish to be so reported, that il I 'had the control of it I would oppose the payment of the Federal debt in toto.

It is merely a despatch stating that the Union members of the Pennsylvania Legislature had a caucus last night, in which they unanimous- ly endorsed the action of Congress.

The petitions wero referred to tho Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Baker, of 111., asked leave to offer an amendment to tho Constitution, excluding from the Presidency, Vico Presidency, Con gross, tho army and navy, judiciary, Ac. of the Lnitod States, all who have voluntarily aided the rebellion in the civil, military or naval service. Mr. Chanler, of New York, objected. The committees were called for bills and reports of a private character. Washington March, 3; House.— The House sat as in CQmmittee of tho whole on the States of the Union on the President’s message. General debate being the only thing in order. There were not a score of the members in the hall while the journal was being read, and the audience in the gallery was corres pondingly slim. Among the reports of a private character made yesterday, was an adverse report made by Mr, Wasnburne; of -Mass., from the Committee on Claims, on forty petitioners for damages arising from the raids made in July* 1804, by the rebels in the vicinity of Fort Stevens, Washington, and an adverse report by Mr. Sloan, from the Committee on the House Bill, to provide for ascertain ing claims against the Government for in- jury or destruction of property by the armies of the United States or bv the mili- tary authories during the late rebellion, Mr. McKee addressee! the House in support of an amendment to the Constitution which ho had introduced on the 10th day of Feb. and which has been referred to tho Judici ary Commute, providing that no person should,bo'qualifled to hold the office of Presi dent, or vice President of the United States or of Senators or Representatives in the national Congress or any office held under appointment from the President and requiring the confirmation of the State who had office civil or military under tho late Confederacy or voluntarily aided the re bellion. or who shonld hereafter be guilty of similar offences in condemning the poll <jy of the President. Ho by what power did he impose an oath upon voters at elections. By what authority did he say to the legis lature of a sovereign State, you must ratify the constitutional amendments before I ac cept you as being in proper relatidns to the Union over which I preside; on what law did he proceed to order a convention to re model the constitution of a.State rtiich had never lost its power, and.then to say to that convention, you must repudiate your war debt and abolish slavery before you resume your place in the Union. He (Air. McKee] made no war upon the President for these acts, they were ques tions for his newly acquired supporters to reconcile themselves, bot he would scorn the most costly jewels of the earth, if put into his hand by one who had plucked them unlawfully from the crown in which they had been set by martial law. The Presi dent had exercised these powers. These were matters which the represen tatives of the people in the national Con gress bad no right to pass opon. It belonged to them to determine wheu and how the rebel States should resume their proper re lations to the Union. Mr. McKee’s speech was principally di rected to a criticism of the President’s policy. In this same tone he advocated the adop tion of the amendment proposed by bun as a proper punishment to rebels, making them infamous in the eyes Of the law and putting the legal stamp of condemnation upon them.

Mr. Conness appealed to Mr. Brown to let the bill named by him be called. Mr. Brown said he would do so if it would not lead to discussion. Mr. Sprague, R. 1., said he intended to discuss the bill named by Mr. Conness. The bill named by Mr. Brown was taken up and passed. I he bill to extend the time for withdraw ing goods from the Public Stores was taken up, the pending motion being to record the vote by which it was passed.

It was so ordered. Mr. Eekley, Ohio, introduced a bill allow ing compensation to maimed soldiers and sailors who are entitled by law to artificial limbs. Read twice and referred to the Com mittee on Military Affairs. The House reconsidered itsorder in refer ence to the Military Academy bill, so that Mr. Schenk, Ohio, might again offer bis amendment, which he did as follows: And provided further, that no part of the money appropriated by this or any other act shall be applied to the pav or'subsis tenee oi any cadet, from anv Slate declared to he in rebellion against the Government of the Lnited States, appointed after the nrs | , a P January, l*(>i», until such State shall have been returned to Us original re lations to the Union, under and bv virtu© of an act or joint resolution of Congress for that case made and provided. Mr. Blaine opposed the amendment to send up to the clerk’s desk and had read a substitute which he proposed to offer to the amendment as lollows: that no part of the money hereby appropriated shall be applied to tlie support or pay of any cadets hereufter appointed, not in conformity with the ex press provisions of law, regulating appoint ed cadets at that aeademv. Mr. Blaine stated that his substitute was taken verbatim from the West Point Ap propriation bill, approved April o, 18f>4, de signed to cure tbe evil of fostering upon southern districts boys from tho northern States. ;W or 40 northern boys had been sent to West Point and colonized, as if ap pointed from Lhe Southern Stales—sent there in violation of law ; there were no va cancies now from one-third of the southern districts, places had been filled by northern boyfe appointed as if from thesouth, it would remain fil.ed till 1807 or IHOS. Thu President was authorized to make ten ap pointments annually Sand Lhe adoption of the amendment woulM be suying to tho President, we cannot trust you to appoint a single cadetfrorn the South. If you desire to nominate a son of Governor Brownlow, or ol John Minor Butts, you cannot do it, 1 his amendment would cut off from the President the power to unpoint a boy from tbe South, even though tils lather iuid all his male relatives hud fallen in the service ol tho country; ho considered tho amend ment most narrow and prejudicial to everything like good fooling und right. It could only be Justified on tho ground taken by thegontlornun from Pennsylvania, Mr. Stevens, that every person in tho eleven States was an alien enemy, not believing that, but believing 'that a Southern man who had been loyal to the Government, was entitled to the protection und patronugo, ho should vote a most decided negative on the amendment. Mr. Conkling, N. Y. t Inquired whether the amendment or tho substitute would disturb the boys whom the gentlemen from Maine described as having been colonized. Mr. Blaine, no sir, no other amendment clients my substitute, merely prevents any further colonization from the North, and leaves the question where the law leaves it to-day. £p*rial gotires.

The fhlr young maid who lost her bloom, Her former health could not reclaim, TUI medicine she did refuse. And for her better portion choose The well-known Mishler's Bitters. I saw the lovely half-grown boy— His parents' only hope and Joy- Laid down upon affliction's bed Too weak to raise his weary head, Relieved by Mishler's Bitters.
