Great exertions had been made by both parties to succeed. The returns up to the time of our going to press, are very meagre, but they indicate the success of the Republican State Ticket. The Legislature is Republican in both branches by increased majoriteis. LEGISLATURE. The Free Banking Bill has passed both bouses and is now in the hands of the Gover | nor.

A resolution to adjourn on Tuesday, had not been reconsidered, at our latest advices. CORRUPTION UNMASKED. The ulcer of official corruption has been probed pretty thoroughly by the Congression al Committee on Public expenditures, under the skillful lead of lion. Jortx B. HASKI.V. — ! The report wfls laid before the House on Monday afternoon, and forms a revelation of i venality in high places, snch as the secret bis j tory of the worst despotisms in existence could hardly parallel. At most, we can only give a brief ontline of this gigantic, and too successful scheme to plunder the National Treasury, for the purpose of coutroling the elections, local and general, throughout the North, for the benefit of the disunion Democracy. We gather from the Report, which is very voluminous, that Mr. George Washington Bowman, Senate Printer, and editor of Mr. Buchanan's private organ, The Constitution, actually receives some forty thousand dollars per annum for doing nothing ; and from the testimony of Mr. Wendell, we learn, that during the last sir years of Democratic rule alone, more than seven hundred thousand dol lars of the public money has been squandered upon printing, ostensibly, but for the support of such newspapers as the Penusylvanian and Constitution, and for the control of elections in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, really • of which fact there is the amplest evidence. Mr. Wendell testifies, that while Mr. Stead man wa3 elected printer to the House during the 35th Congress, that gentleman never dis charged the duties of the office ; but that he, Wendell, was de facto printer—paying Stead man the sura of 64 ceuts on the dollar for ( doing the work, and retaining 36 per cent. Mr Wendell supported the Washington Union, the President's organ, at the cost of $19,000 per year, over and above its receipts ; and in 1858, contributed money to carry erections in several districts in Pennsylvania—among which were the districts of Mr. J. Glancy Jones and Mr. Tom Florence. And the disposition of the plunder was made in accordance with a tacit understanding between Mr. Wendell and the President, the latter having this huge | "take" of patronage to bestow. Mr. Wen- I dell testifies further, that lie proposed to Mr. Buchanan to take away the stipends paid to the Ptnnsylvanian and Argus of Philadelphia, and apply the sums to the elections in Penn sylvania—in the districts where Jones, Landy, : and Florence were candidates for re-election to Congress, to which proposition Mr. Bnch -1 anan did not dissent, and the money was so i applied. This was in 1858—some two months j prior to the writing of the celebrated Du | Quesne letter by the President, j Mr. Wendell testifies further, that the Ex ecutive Printing ranges from $75,000 to I §lOO,OOO annually, and that of this patron age not less than fifty -per cent., as now dis pensed by the President, is clear profit ; and further, that he had an understanding with both Mr. Pierce and Mr. Buchanan, that out of these profits, the Constitution, or Union, organ was to be supported. Sometime last March, Wendell found that he conld not sap port the Constitution, Penusylvanian and Ar gus, out pf the profits, and live ; and ! therefore he proposed to pay these three pa pers $20,000 per year, in consideration of be ' ing continued in office as Public printer. In pursuance of this arrangement he paid Geo. Washington Bowman $5,000 to take the Go vernment organ off his hands. It farther appears from the testimony of Mr Wendell, that the President himself is the supreme power in his private organ ; not that he writes the articles, bnt that he fur nisher editors who write under his supervision. And this fully accounts for tbe inexpressible meanness of that organ, even iu contrast with others d like stripe. But the testimony of Gen. Bowman before the Committee disclosed one or two rather suspicious circumstances. Mr. Bowman is supposed to be the Senate priuter. But he testifies, after much wriggling and dodging, that he never had done the work himself, but that he bad contracted with Mr. Rives, to do the t>ork for the sum of 66 2-3 d ceuts on the dollar—Mr. Rives furnishing all the type, presses, labor and paper, and paying Bowman 33 1-3 on the dollar-for the privilege of doing the work. And after being thoroughly cor nered by the Committee, Bowman was con strained to admit that he had not a dollar in vested in the public printing. The fact then seems to be that Gen. Bowman, editor of the President's organ, receives upward of $60,000 per year, for doing nothing at all; out of which stipend he supports the organ, and the Pennsylvanian and Argus of Philadelphia, together with sundry donations to certain doubtful districts in Pennsylvania, just before the general elections. FOREIGN NEWS. —The steamer Arabia,which arrived at New York Saturday morning,brings three days' later foreign intelligence, her dates being the 17th March. The House of Lords had agreed with the House of Commors in an address to the Crown in approbation of the new commercial treaty with France by a vote of 68 to 38. Announcement had been made in both Houses of Parliament of the reception of a circular dispatch from the French Govern ment relative to the Savoy question. Mr. Thouvenel states that the annexation of Savoy to France has become necessary by the alter ed position of Italy, but that the feelings of the People of Savoy will be consulted. The European Powers are, however, to have noth iug to say in the business. It is now stated that the order for the French army in Lom bardy to he ready to march at a moment's notice has been countermanded. There is also a report of a rather Buncombe character to the effect that the Emperor Napoleon has sent an autograph letter, couched in angry terms, to the King of Sardinia,against the acceptance by the latter of Tuscany, notwithstanding the recent test of universal suffrage. He may,how ever, name a Prince of his own house for Tus cany, and the Romngna may be governed by a Vicar acceptable to the Pope. The Swiss Federal Contici' has protested against tbe an nexation of the neutralized districts of Savoy to France. The result of the election on the questiou of annexing Tuscany to Piedmont was largely in favor of annexation. The arrests and banishments in Naples were continued, and a reign of terror prevailed there. The British and other foreign Ministers, it is said, have remonstrated with the King. In Austria the symptoms of social and political dissolution continue to manifest themselves in a most re markable manner. The condition of that Em pire renders it unlikely that Francis Joseph will undertake a new war against his fate vic torious enemies, except he is driven into it by irrepressible necessity. It is expected that the annexation of the Ilomagna to Sardinia will be followed by the excommunication of both Victor Emanuel and Louis Napoleon. A dis patch from Madrid states that the Emperor of Morocco has sued for peace. Breadstuffs were quiet, but unchanged. Crnrous ACCIDENT AT SENECA FACES.—A singular occurrence took place on Monday af ternoon, at Seneca Falls, as the train due in Rochester at G:5O was* passing through the village. A lady attempted ta cross the track in front of the train, but was not rjoick enough and was caught by the cow-catcher, and carri ed along three or four hundred feet, before the engineer could bring the engine to a stop, Of course it was expected that she would be funnd senonsly hurt, but fortunately, it turned out that her injuries was confined to a few triffing bruises. After a brief delay she was able to walk ofT, leaning on the arras of a couple of gentleman who offered their services. She bad a narrow escape from death. THE ILLINOIS DELEGATES TO CHARLESTON.— The St. Lonis Republican says that it is assert ed that Hon. Mr. HCNTER, of Virginia, has addressed a letter to Mr. lIF.RNDON, 111., urging the delegates appointed by the Administration Democrats of that State, by all means to at tend the Charleston Convention. The letter assure the delegates that they will be admitted to the Convention, and counsels them _to pay no attention to what newspapers may say ; and advises them to come by the Southern routes, intimating that funds will be provided for their expenses. DELEGATE TO CHICAGO. —Hon. JOHN ALLI SON has been chosen by the Republicans of Beaver county, as a delegate to the Chicago Convention. Gen. POWER received 30 votes, aud Mr. ALLISON 83 votes. A motion was made to instruct Mr. ALLISON to vote for the Hon. WM. 11. SEWARD, as the Republican candidate for the Presidency ; but, without acting npon it, the President entertained a motion to adjourn, which was decided to be carried. THE CARSTANG-SHAW CASE. —Major WRIGHT closed his argument in the Carstang-Shaw case at St. Loui?, Saturday evening. His speech occupied nearly eight hours in delivery, after which the jury retired, and in twenty minutes .rendered a verdiot for the defendant. Amotion for a new trial was immediately filed by the plaintifTs coflnsel. In case the motion is re fused, the case will be appealed, lo the Supreme Conrt. LOCAL AND GENERAL. INCENDIARISM IN OWEGO. —Almost every week since last January have our citizens been aroused from their sleep by the cry of FIRE ! The old red building on Main street, near H. N. HUBBARD'S was first burned ; the old Hudson House has been several times set on fire ; the barns in the rear of Burton's, on Ithaca street, and Uiersteiner'a Market, on Main street, have been burned up ; Storrs' barn on the South side of the river, with its contents of horses, hay , grain, carriages, Ac. was also burned ; and, finally, the Empire Block on Front street, with large stocks of goods belonging to Stone A Co., and Eldridge A Smith, shared the same fate. ' The hand of the incendiary was clearly visible in these successive fires, but who the gnilty parties were was a mystery which the majority of our citizens seemed iu clined to regard as too cunningly covered up to admit of solution. Coroner CHURCHILL, however, thought other wise ; and upon the affidavits of several of our citizens, summoned an investigating jury to inquire into the circumstances of said fires. The investigation was con ducted with closed doors, and resulted in such develop ments as to induce a unanimous verdict that the old building near Mr. Hubbard's, the barn in the rear of Burton's, Mr. Storr3' barn and the Hudson House, were all set on fire by IVm. Holleuback and Alvin Letts, who were accordingly arrested and committed to jail by the Coroner. Subsequently John Mislin was also arrested and committed by Justice Mungcr. Letts and Maslin have made full confessions to Coroner Churchill since their arrest; but it is not deemed proper to publish their statements in detail for the present They both agree as to young Hollenback being equally giultv with them selves ; and as to the intention of the party to pursue their vocation of incendiarism in the future, having al ready agreed as to the particular buildings which should be burned next. Great credit is due to Coroner Churchill, Col. Davis, and the jury before whom the inquiry was had, for in stituting this investigation and tracing these incendiary fircs to their source ; and we sincerely hope, for the fu ture safety of the property and lives of our citizens, that the guilty parties will be made to feel that the way of the transgressors is hard.— Gazette. PAY OF CENSC3 MARSHALS. —The pay of Marshals wiH be one dollar per thousand in the district if the population exceeds one million—if less, then $1,25 for each thousand. The pay of the assistant is 2 cents per head of 'he population, 10 eents for the statistics of each farm, 15 cents for each establishment of productive industry, and 2 cents for each death reported. The mar shall is prohibited from receiving any part of the fees of the assistant, under a penalty of $l,OOO fr each offence. The assistants have five months in which to perform their duties, in place of six weeks, as is stated in a para graph going the rouuds of the papers. The BAKERS sung at the Court Ilotre, on Monday evening last, to the enjoyment of a large audience. This troupe arc deservedly favorites in this community, and'never fail to draw good houses. Their singing was quite up to tbe high reputation they enjoy as vocalists. v —■ PANTIIER KILLED.—A larre Panther was killed one day last week, bv two bo/s, sons of ROLLIN and BENJAMIN WILCOX, in Albany township. A slight fall of snow revealed the fact that some varmint had L>een reconnoitcring around the house of BE,STAY IS WIL COX, and it was decided that tl>e tracks were those of a panther. A party started in pursuit of the dangerous visitor,.and after following Him some miles, all returned excepting the two boys, who keptou the trail, and finally succeeded in overtaking hint. He was treed by the dogs several times, before an opportunity offered to shoot. A good chance presenting, a well directed shot through the head brought him disabled' fo ffi'e ground. He was not despatched, however, until a second rifle-hall was intro duced fo Sim. Tie carcass Was brought to th*w place, and showed that living he was an ugly customer to encounter, measuring 7 feet 1 inch from tip of nose to end of tail. Such ani mal-s are very rarely seen in this latitude, and the oldest hunters are not desirous of encountering a " pain ter." The one killed visited a very unsafe neiglib rhood for such game, and the boys showed, by their skill and courage that they are worthy descendants of the hunters who have in former times made sad havoc amongst the game in the southern part of the County.

CLAJUS'S Revolving Coop er Sewing Machine. We notice now that it is fast gain ingin the estimation of the public and making for itself a tine reputation. We copy the following from the Troy Daily Times: " A friend who is thoroughly familiar with all the different varieties of Sewing Machines, as sores us that Mr. Clark's " Revolving Looper" is really the most perfect and substantial, as it is one of tbe most simple and reliable instruments yet introduced. It is sold at the very low price of $33 to $3O and while there is a guaranty of reliability in its excellent construction, it accomplishes the best descriptions of family and tailor ing work, and all varieties in a manner not surpassed by any other machine. satisfied that Clark's is one of the most important improvements that has yet been brought out in connection with this enterprise, combin ing air the ij-quisitcs of a first class Sewing Machine, at a price within the reach of all." As before stated this Machine is an improvement upon the Tlayuiimd, and inay lie found at the Agents, B>. f. SHAW, first door south of Laporte, Mason tt Co'*.

Coroner CHURCHILL, of Owego, was called last Sunday morning to hold an inquest on the body of HANS KINNKAK, who was found dead in "his bed at Stevens' Hotel in Cane wana. The Owego Times, referring to the affair, says : " Poor Kinnear's fate is a melancholy one—one that our young men might reflect on with some advantage. He died in the prime of his days—died miserably, from the effects of liquor, want of care and general dissipation He was brought up by Jacob Catlin, Esq., of Tioga, and lived with hira for a number of years, and was respected and esteemed by the family. About five years ago he left, and has since been drifting about from one business and from one place to another, still sinking. We have never heard that lie was guilty of any more heinous erime than a constant tendency to drunkenness. We are sorry for poor Kinnear, for though laPerly a drunken loafer in the common estimation of the people, he was still obliging, respectful and kind lieartcd. He must have been about. 2i or JO years of age.' 1 [For the Bradford Reporter.] TRAVELING MEMORANDUMS. NEW YORE, March 31,1*60. New York is truly a remarkable city—vast iu extent, population, and commercial resour ces—she bids defiance to the combined influ ence, for evil, of any other section of the country. Let Southern Democratic journals blaze away then, and call as loudly as they mav choose upon their business men, to refrain from purchasing their goods of £iew \ crk merchants —they cannot injure or break down her commerpe nor frighten her citizens. But these awful threats so frequently made at the South have never been executed. This city to-day is fdlcd with Southern Merchants who are purchasing their goods of men who do not sympathize with them on the Slavery question. They do so becanse it is for their interest to patronise them. Sensible men will never let their political preclivities interfere with their commercial relations, —laboring for the public good is one thing, getting "bread and butter" for one's self and family is, and we think quite as important, another. Such being the case our business men need not ex pect a very great diminution of Southern trade. Broadway, Canal and Grand streets, three of the principal retail rows of the ban fori, cannot be surpassed, in a commercial sense, by any locality iu the United States.— Ilere are the palace Bazaars of A. T. Stew art k Co., Arnold A Constable, and Lord & Taylor, all of which are filled with ladies from about 10 o'clock, A. M. until after dark.— We should judge from appearances that those " up town " ladies had more money than they know what to do with, and that most of their time was spent in shopping. Lord k Taylor have two very extensive re tail Store*, one in Uraud street and the other in Broadway. When this firm opened their Grand street store, a few years since, many regarded it as a " wild-goose " speculation—it has become, however, a profitable concern. Rev. 11. GRATTAX GUKOSBSS, a new Sensa tion preacher from Ireland, is creating quite an excitement here. Abont two thousand people listened to a sermon, delivered by him, last Sunday afternoon, is the Lecture room of the Cooper's Institute. lie preaches every afternoon ami evening to crowded houses. The following characteristics, are, undoubtedly the key to his popularity, viz ; He is a Pres byterian in sentiment, anti-sectarian in feel ing, eloquent in the pulpit, rich, according to the Wall street! vocabulary, and 'receives nothing for his services. Every body has heard abont the celebrated Fulton street noonday Prayer Meetings,—they are held every day between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, at the North Dutch church, corner of William and Fulton streets. They have beta iu operation over two years and the interest in- theur remains unabated. Two large rooms, one on the first and the other on the-second floor, arc usually filled and the halls leading to them After the reading of com munications, wkieh are received from all parts of the world, the meeting is announced by the chair as open for prayer and conference.— Men of all nations, creeds and occupations participate in the exercises, and a more inter esting gathering can not be formed any where. | Strangers visiMivg the city, should uot fail to attend. A small cation or model of Solomon's Temple has been on exhibition for several days in Ninth street, and has attracted consider.! hie attenfmr. A large number of visitors, in cluding the various Sunday Schools in this city and Rrooklyn have disseminated through out the community a favorable report concern ing it. The plan was executed by a lady and originally cost about twenty thousand dollars. The beautiful anti-Slavery Drama entitled the " Octoroou " is now performed daily at Bnrnum's Museum, and thousands rush thith er to witness its truthful delineations of South eru life. Raruum's Museum, TOU know, is no theatre j it bears the same relations to one, however, that the Aroerieau Art Union and Gift Dook enterprises do to a Lottery. Not withstanding this, the stage Iras jwomulgated vast amount of truth through the medium of the "Octoroon," and " Uncle Tom's Cabin.'' Wc shall not therefore denounce it as au un worthy or dangerous institution. Rev. MARK TRAITON, cx-Member of Con front Massaclmetts, is here, aud will repeat his humorous Poem, entitled " Parson Brown's Experience." before leaving the city. He is a very talented manand will undoubtedly create a serration iu the literary circles. " KISBIIEWAH." SCITOSED MCRDKR CASE.—The new Yoik papers of Saturday last, contained an account of a terrible slaughter of human life, on board the sloop E. A. Johnson in Lower Bay. The vessel recked with human blood from stem to stern. She was found abandoned iu Lower Bay, early Wednesday morning, by the crew of the schooner Telegraph, aul afterwards towed up to the city by the steam tug Ceres, and moored in Fulton Market slip. No person, living or dead, was on her when she discovered, although she bad left Keyport on Sunday night, bound for Deep River, Va., with a cargo of oysters, and a crew of the fol lowing named persons : George Burr, Captain Nathaniel Clock, mate, Samuel Watts and Oliver Watts' hands. A man named Albert Hicks, a notorious villian, has been arrested and identified as hav ing been on board the unfortunate vessel. The affair has created great excitement, and there would seem to be but little doubt of the guilt of the arrested. The vessel had been engag ed in the oyster trade, and Hicks is supposed to have murdered the Captain and crew for the purpose of getting the money, about $3,- 000 which was known to have been on board. The Sloop " Spray " was also examined on the 26th, and bloody clothing fished np from the cabin. The appearauces indicated that the Vessel had been the scene of murders very siin ilar iu every respect to those supposed to have been committed on the oyster sloop. A Chi uamau named John Canoe is the supposed mur derer, and has been arrested. A large amount of money is said to have been found in his pos session, which adds to the appearance of Lis guilt. A Gcoo REPORT— Mr. O. 11. P. KINNEY, Chairman of the Select Committee, to which was committed a quantity of petitions from citizens of Greene couuty, asking that the im migration of free negroes into this Common* wealth be prohibited, made report yesterday afternoon. That report will be found on the first page of to day's paper, and will well repay the reading. For candor, breadth of view, catholicity of tone and sentiment, as well as for its admirable adaptation of facts to the elucidation of the subject in hand, we regard it as most creditable to the intellect of its author and not excelled by any document put upon record by the Legislature during its present session. Its references to the opinions and acts of the founders of the State are most per tinent, and cannot fail to corcct public opinion in those couutics, touching the true policy of a of a great and free people, toward an oppress ed end despised race. The thanks of ull true friends of the race are due Mr. Kinney for hi* able plea in behalf of men and women "guilty of a skin a little darker than our own," and the Republicans of Bradford may be considered peculiarly fortunate in their selection of a Re presentative.— Harrislurg Telegraph.
