THE SUNDAY I^AWS.
We publish on our outside, tho Report of
the Committee on Vice .and Immorality, :a the
State Senate on the subject .of the repeal of
tho Sunday laws. This report is the produc
tion of Mr. LAXDON, and is just such a paper
as might have been oxpected from him . We
append the comments of the Harrisburg Tele
graph :
The Report is a very candid argument of the
question upon its merits. Divested of all clap
trap appeals to the prejudices of men, and en
tirely free from Pharisaic dogmatism, it is an
argument which commends itself to.the reader
by its*simplicity and directness, not less than
by the skillful manner in which it approaches,
and deals with a vexed question.
It is very correctly stated, that the existing
laws prescribing the cessation of labor on
Sunday, do not interfere with the private judg
ment or peculiar opinions of any man. They
requite no man to attend this chnrch, or the
other, and dictate to no man in what his rest
aud relaxation from business on that dav shall
consist. The laws leave him free to attend
church, to sit in his own sanctuary at home,'to
walk abroad, or to ride in his own, or hired
conveyance. So long as he respects the rights
and privileges of his neighbors, the law is to
him as though it were not.
The observance of one day in seven, or re
lief from the cares and anxieties, as from the
physical exactions of day labor, one day in
seven,' seems to be well grounded in necessity.
The morality of the requirement is to plain to
be mistauea. YY e do not think it extravagant
to &ay r that to labor tbree hundred and sixty
live consecutive days is to debauch the body
and dwarf the soul. Too much physical ex
ertion, hke mental overwork, results in disaster
—in disease and premature death. The Mosaic
law, touching the Sabbath, acknowledged the
moral and physical necessity of its observance
very clearly, in its exception of the oz and the
ass from kibor on that day. All past experi
ence proves, that more opportunity for rest
and relaxation than is afforded iu the hours
ordinarily devoted to 6leep, is absolutely re
quired by ihe working world; and since the law
does not prescribe the manner in which this
rest aud relaxation shall be enjoyed, any fur
ther than to provide against disturbance and
not, we do not see how any broader license
can be asked for by the anti-church-goiug clas
ses.
The author of the report has earned, and
will receive, the commendation of the best
friends of society for the able and impartial
manner iu which the subject is discussed The
committee has faithfully performed its duty.
hiCeuieu cf the Bradford district have cause to
congratulate themselves oa their happy selec
tion of a gentleman to represent them in the
Senate, so well qualified, and so willing to dis
charge the duties of the position. Senator
LANDOX has not guilty of the fault of
" too much speaking," daring the
session. lie has made hifhself a reputation
for close attention to business, and is cue of
those gentlemen who wili rather be felt, than
heard, iu whatever position he may be peaccd
not withstanding his superior qualities as a
speaker and debater.
THE SCNBUEY AND ERIE RAILRORD.— The
Sunbury and Erie bill, which was so long de
hated in our State Legislature, passed i n the
following form The bill stays proceeding,
under the mortgage of the State, for the sale
of the road, for non-paymeut of interest, until
February, 1862, and authorizes the company
to issue scrip to the amount of $600,0()0, to
pay debts contracted for labor and materials
between the first of August lat and the first
of April. This scrip is to be a lieu upon the
road, and to fake precedence of the State
mortgage. The friends of the road say that
.the work upon it will not be suspended during
this year, but will be pushed forward to im
mediate completion.
A®- President BUCHANAN has sent a Mes
sage to the House, protesting agaiust the first
two clauses of Mr. COVODE'S resolution provid
ing for a Select Committee to examine iuto
ui.eged abuses by the President or any other
officer of the Government. He defends the
President's rights and duties, taking the ground
that Cougrcss can act ouly under the impeach
ing power. The reception of this -document
lead to an exciting debate, and was disposed
of by referring the same to the Judieiary Com
mittee, of which the Hon JOHN HICKMAN is
Chairman.
I iio.i James K Panlding forme r ly
Secretary of the Havy, died on at
farrytown, New Yorb.
Qy Some weeks ago there appeared in the
Buchanan organ at this place what purported
to be a ,letter from Harrisbnrg, grossly de
faming our Representative#. The Harrisburg
Telfgraph noticing the letter, say* —"The
writer of the letter in question took occasion
to land to the skies Mr. Jackson, of Sullivan,
and at the same time to grossly defame both
the Republican members from Bradford connty.
We refer to the letter published in the Bradford
Herald, a Locofoco paper published by the
Postmaster at Towanda, and which was read
in the House of Representatives on Monday
afternoon. The reading of the letter created
considerable suprise and disgust among those
who were so well acquainted with the gentle
men to whom reference was made.
" While we have nothing to say against the
laudations heaped upon the radical locofoco
member from Sullivan, we do protest, most
solemnly, against tho 3landers heaped upon
Messrs SMEAD and KINXEY, the members re
ferred to. The writer of this article has been
constantly on the floor of the House during
many sessions of the Legislature, and has not
missed a sipgle session of the Honse during
the past winter (except a few days beiDg con
fined by sickness,) and is therefore able to
speak froip the record, and be declares in all
sincerity, that Bradford county may be justly
proud of her Representatives, Messrs. SMEAD
and KINNEY ; both of them have taken active
part in the proceedings of the House during
tho session just ended, aud were highly res
pected by their fellow members. They were
alweys able and ready, not only to take part
in debate, but engaged in all the important
measures before the House. They took a par.
ticulariy active part in the passage of the Tariff
resolutions, —thus showing that the district
which they represent is not in power of free
trade, as has been Irequeutly asserted by the
Locofocos. The resolutions relative to the
organization of Congress received also their
active support ; and the able report submited
on the subject of the practical establishment
of the Slave trade, by Mr. Kinney, speaks for
itself. They were always sound on all political
subjects. We shall rejoice if their places are
so ably filled next session, and would be glad
to see the " two term " principle, so extensive
ly adhered to in several counties, dispensed
with in this case. Messrs. Kinney and Smead
are not only fully acquainted with all the busi
ness of Legislation, but are well and able to
take the responsibility of action."
FIRE AT DANVILLE. —Between twelve and
ouo o'clock, on Sunday morning, a fire broke
out in Finney's building, situated on Mill St.,
and before the flames could be extinguished,
the entire block, consisting of seven or eight
buildings, from Mahoning street to Franklin
court, were destroyed.
The following properties were burnt :
Schroth'e restaurant, the Mansion House, kept
by Mr. S. Blue, Brum's saloon, Savage's jew
elry, and Doran's tailoring establishments.—
Mr. Schroth is the heaviest loser. The entire
loss amounted to $ 15,000, on which there is a
partial insurance. The fire is supposed to
have been the work of an incendiary. The
flames spread so rapidly that it was with diffi
culty the personal effects of many of the oc
cupants were saved.
The firemen and citizens by great exertions
saved the adjoining houses. As it is, au en
tire square is a pile of smouldering ruins.
MR. FRANK SANBORN was one of the wit
nesses summoned by the Senate Committee of
Investigation in the Harper's Ferry affair, but
reeusaut to the writ, was arrested on Tues
day evening at his house in Concord, Mass.,
by a Deputy Sergeant-at Arms. News of the
fact speedily flew over that Revolutionary bat.
tie-ground, and it was not long before the pri
soner was rescued, and 6teps taken to secure
a writ of habeas corpus. This was issued by
Judge HOARD, and, upon its return befooe a
fall Bench of the Supreme Court at Boston,
SANBORN was discharged, on the ground that
the warrant should have been executed by the
Sergeant at-Arras in person. The Court re
fused to pass upon other points suggested for
the prisoner. An attempt was made to carry
the excittment into the Legislature, by a mo
tion that the Attorney-General be instructed
to appear for SANBORN. It was voted down.
A memorial from SANBORN was subsequently
presented, setting forth the particulars of his
arrest, and demanding protection. No action
war had upon it.
S&~ Information from Southern Kansas
gives rise to apprehensions of serious trouble
i:i Linn and Bourbon counties, growing cut of
alleged violations of the amnesty act. An at
tempt recently made by the Deputy-Marshal
to arrest Capt. Montgomery was effectually
resisted. Considerable interest is manifested
in St. Louis in regard to the approaching trial
of the rescuers of the alleged fugitive slave
Charley Fisher. The trial commences on Mon
day next, before Judge f>ettit of the United
States District Court. The river has com
menced receding slowly at this point. The
wea her is warm aud dry.
Mr. IIOOPEB, the Democratic Delegate
from Utah, avowed in the House on Monday
that Polygamy is now a part of the Mormon
Religious faith. In the early days of the sect,
and elsewhere than in Utah, the contrary has
been maintained.
The court of Racine county, Wisconsin,
has issued a writ of baiitas corpus in the case
of Sherman Booth, now in the custody of the
United States, on the charge of inciting to the
rescne of a fugitive slave, bnt the marshal has
refused obf^euce.
S&* By the overland mail with San Fran
cisco dates to March 19, which reached Spimg-
Geld, Mo., on Friday night, we learn that the
Japanese steam -corvette Candinamarrah arriv
ed at San Francisco on the 14th of March, in
forty days, from Yeddo, sent by the Emperor
of Japan to anaonnce that the Japanese Em
bassy would leave Kanagawa by the United
States steamer Powhatan on the 11th of Feb
ruary. The officers and a portion of the crew
of the United States schooner Fenimore Coop
er, recently wrecked, were. bronght to San
Francisco by the Candinamarrah, and at the
request of the Emperor,Lieut. John N. Brooks,
U. S. N., volunteered to assist the Japanese
officers in making the voyage. The excitement
relative to the Washoe mines continued, and
the emigration thither decreased none. The
news from Washington and Oregon, British
Columbia, and the Sandwich Islands, is unim
portant-.
B&f The steamer Niagara, which reached
Halifax early on Saturday morning, brings
three days later foreign intelligence, her dates
being to the 24th ult., from Liverpool, and
from Queenstowu the day following. The
Sardinian troops had commenced the evacua
tion of Savoy, and the French troops, return
ing from Lom'bardy, were expected to arrive
in that province on the 25th of March. Russia,
Prussia, and Austria.in their replies to France,
concerning the annexation, had declared in
substance that they had no right to interfere.
The annexation, it seems, is to be consummat
ed without taking the votes of the people, as
was done in the Italian provinces jnst annex
ed to Piedmont. A demonstration had taken
place at Rome in honor of the birthday of
Garibald', when the crowd was dispersed by
the soldiery ; many persons were wounded.—
The agitation in Hungary continued, and a
nnmber of arrests had been made in Pesth.—

RHODE ISLAND.—WILLIAM SPRAGUE has been
elected Governor of Rhode Island by the
combined vote of the Americans, Democrats,
and " Conservatives." His majority over the
regular Republican nominee is about 1500.
Mr. SPRAQCK is the son of AMASA SPRACDE,
who was murdered fifteen years ago by a cou
ple of Irishmen, named Gordou. This circum
stance probably has made him the intense
American that he is. He is repnted to be im
mensely wealthy and withal liberal. The dem
ocrats adopted him and gave him their sup
port for the purpose of defeating the Repub
licans, in which they have been succersful.—
Mr. SPRAOOE'S business relations pave him
great strength—every merchant in Rhode Is
lund probably bnys and sells Sprague's prints,
and many of them, although Republicans,
voted for him because intimately acquainted
with him, and because he is a worthy man
We have no doubt he will make an efficient
Governor.
fl® - * Senator WIGFALL, of Texas, used the
following language, a few days since, in Con
gress : " These northern people, of all parties,
are a mean, despicable set of starvelings, una
ble to see beyond a dollar, and caring for no
consideration except money. Threaten them,
and they will crouch to your feet like so many
hounds. Only swear that you are going to
dissolve the Union, and the timid creatures
will get down on all fours, bite the dust, and
kiss the rod raised to chastise them." The
Senator applied this language to Northern
Republicans and Democrats indiscriminately.
As if to show that it is no piece of empty
bravado, the Charleston papers declare that
the houses of that city will never be so closely
secured and watched as when the Democratic
Convention shall be in session, with its hosts
of retainers precipitated upon the n.
PHILADELPHIA DISTRICTS FOR CAMERON.—
The delegatoelections of the Opposition in
Philadelphia were held on Wednesday last.—
Those in favor of sustaining the action of the
State Convention, and co-operating with the
delegation appointed by it in support of Sena
tor CAMERON for the Presidency,in the Chicago
Convention, carried all of the Congressional
districts, aud elected their delegates to that
Convention.
A SENATOR CANED. —The Senator from the
Hradford district, Mr. Landon, was handsome
ly caned iu his private room at the Jones
House, yesterday afternoon, by one of his fel
low Seuators, Mr. Ketcham, of Luzerne, in
presence of several mutual friends. The last
named gentleman, in token ot his high appre
ciation of Mr. Landon, as a man and a Sena
tor, presented liiin with a magnificent silver
mounted ebony cane, accompanying tfie pre
sentation with a welitimed, chaste aud eloquent
address, to which the recipient, taken eutirely
by surprise, made an appropriate response.—
We can assure the constituents of Mr. Landon
that the caning bestowed upou him by Mr.
Keicbam was richly meiited. We would not
object to similar treatment at the hands of
some appreciative friend.— Jlarrisburg Ttli

FRANK PIIELPS is a joker, a jovial fel
low, with a ready reply to any remark under
almost aDy circumstances, but a friend at our
elbow says he saw him completely non plussed
a few days since. In a small village in Liv
ingston Co., where he had advertised to " act
out," his favorite horse was taken 6ick. The
process of drenching the horse brought togeth
er quite a crowd. Iu order to exercise him.be
put one of his boys on him to ride, with noth
ing but a baiter to guide him, and from bis
style, some one remarked that " that horse
would run away if be had a chance." "Run I
ruD 1" says Frank with his peculiar emphasis.
"Wall, that boss would soouer run than eat."
A big-mouthed, slouched-bat boy, with a drawl
ing voice, exclaimed : " Why don't you let
him run then ? It's cheaper than to feed him
The unanimous shout so frightened the horse
he was put back in the stable convalescent,
.and the t oag was duly placed on the " dead
head" list.— Elmira Press.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
The Black Democracy of thla Coonty
have baen la a ferment for the past few days la relation
to the appointment of Aasietant Marshals to take the
census or this County. We have no dispoeition to pry
into their family matters, but we understand that the
gentleman from Wysox, who haa the especial chargt of
" the party " here, is anxious that a part of tha profits
shall enure to hia benefit-by being applied to the purchase
of the Herald materials, which he claims to own. The
prominent applicants object to being thus black mailed,
and the inevitable Col. is playing his usual game to pre
vent their appointment. The army in Flanders never
swore more roundly than some of the " faithful " at his
dictation—bnt for all that,we surmise they will be obliged
to submit.
RUNAWAYS. —During the past few days sev
eral runaways have occurred in onr streets from horses
becoming frightened. On Friday, a young lad named
O'KXEPE, driving a horae belonging to the Catholic Priest
in descending the hill on Pine street, the horse became
unmanageable, and ran away, npaetting the wagon, and
aeriocaly injuring the boy.
DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.—A Connty Con

4®- Mr. William T. Ross, a shoemaker,
who has been working in this place, for a short time, and
latterly doing business over Phinney's store, has been
engaged in playing a sharp game, by purloining Sheep
pelts, belonging to Solomon A Kirby.and selling them to
different palties. On Monday last, he offered a lot to
these gentlemen, when on examination they were con
vinced that they were a part of their stock, and Ross
was charged with the theft. He suddenly had business
which called him away. and when last heard from, he
was several miles from town, making hia way for gome
other place.
REPUBLICAN CLUBS. —The Republicans of
Burlington township are entitled to the credit df having
organized the first Club in the County, with reference to
the approaching Presidential campaign, as will be seen
by the following proceedings.
In pursuance of a call of the voters of Rurlington town
ship, a meeting was held at the Mountain Lake School
House, on Saturday evening. March 31st, for the purpose
of organizing a Republican Club for said township.
The meeting was called to order by electing D. M.
ALEXANDER, Chairman and A.M. HAIOHT, Secretary,

JST Temperance address will be delivered
at the Baptist Church, in this borough, on Friday even
ing next, by CHARLES M. MANVILLE.
On the 13th inst., a little boy in his
sixth year, a son of THOMAS BURGESS of Smithfield, while
laughing with a kernel of corn in his mouth accidentally
sucked it into his windpipe. This was followed by a se
vere paroxysm of coughing, which lasted a few minutes
and nearly subsided. Dr. E. P. ALREN saw him a few
hours after, aad on examination found that the kernel
had passed into the left bronchial tube and seemed fixed
in its position. There being but a slight cough and no
very great difficulty in respiration, the Doctor thought
not best to interfere until more urgent symptoms present
ed ; hoping that it might be thrown from the lung dur
ing a fit of coughing. The little fellow kept about three
or four days, when a high fever obliged hira to take his
bed. Itespiratiou became more difficult. On the 23d the
symptoms became so alarming it was thought unsafe to
defer longer an operation, when Dr. ALLEN, assisted by
Dr. HOLMES, of Canton, performed Tracheatomy in a neat
and skillful manner. The corn had swelled and become
impacted in the bronchial tube to that extent it could
not be removed. The wound in the windpipe was left
open with the expectation of suppuration taking place
around the corn, when the corn would be raised into the
windpipe and thrown out of the opening, which happy
result took place on the 17th inst., followed by about one
half ounce of pus. The little fellow is now decidedly
convalescent, and the painful anxiety of his parents and
friends greatly relieved E. J. B.
PIKE'S PEAK.—A former resident of this
County, lately returned from Pike's Peak, has communi
cated to us the following information, which may be use
ful and interesting to those who have turned their tho'ts
towards that El Dorado.
He says—l arrived at the mines about the first of July
last. The principal difficulty we had to encouuter was
the discouraging reports brought back by returning emi
grants who had never reached the gold region. The In
dians have been very friendly up to this time, and have
not molested a single party. After arriving at the mines
the miners are too apt to become excited \jy rumors of
other and better diggings, and Wave a good claim to start
on a prospecting tour, and not being accustomed to work,
and inexperienced in the business, in many instances
make a failure, while others who have made np their
minds to hard labor, and stick to their work, get well
paid. lam satisfied that gold abounds in paying quanti
ties, and the relations I had with the miners from
the different districts warrants me in saying that it is
destined to become a rich gold producing country—sec
ond to none.
Much gold has been nndoubtedly wasted by careless
washing , as in California the dust In many pluces pays
wsll for a second washing. The gold la diffbrent in vari
ous mines! the Sooth Platte being seals gold, while
North Is shot and mgget. Ths largest pices 1 saw weigh
ed 170 pennywnight*—vahw Meant* per pennyweight. I
think the average per man woaid be abont 10 peMiy
weights a day Mat indnMand that all have made
that—for the majority did not make day wages, $1,60,
while ether* made their thousands of dollars, and hare
valuable claims left. The lead claisu are considered by
Califore'lans to be 50 per cent, better, while the gulches
do as well as those in California In the same time and
under tl same ci reams Unco*.
The amount of farming land la small; being a narrow
atrip along the streams. This Is very productive, vegeta
tion growing very rapidly. The climate is said to be very
much like California and Salt Lake Valley. My brother
writes me that np to the 18th of February there had been
no severe weather, stock living on grass and doing well.
If any person from Bradford contemplates going to
Pike's Peak, 1 would advise them to go to St. Josephs,
by railroad, then the California road to Fort Kearney,
and the South Platte. St. Josephs ia aa good an outfitting
post as any. Stock, wagona and provisions can be bad
there on favorable terms. A good supply of dried fruit
is desirable, to counteract the effects of the alkaline wa
ter. Great quantities of arms and ammunition is a nui
sance, and not wanted. A good rifle is necessary how
ever, as thousands of buffaloes, deer, wolves, Ac., will ba
seen.
While I have no question aa to the existence of gold in
abundance, yet I think that persons who are doiug well
in Bradford had better stay there. The labor in the mines
is very hard, and precarious ; for one man who ia repaid,
ten are disappointed, and lose their time, money and
health. It partakes too much of the nature of a lottery
to make it desirable or certain.
Stt' Let oar readers and especially the af
flicted, remember the Indian Doctor, from Elmira, N. Y.,
will be in Towanda, at the Ward House, the 25th and
26tb of April, to help all who are within the reach of his
remedies. See his notice in anotner column.

Brother Rossei.r.'s sickness was very brief but severe,
for only one week from the day he was taken, we laid
him in the silent grave, in hope ot a blessed immortality.
For some time previous to his death, he was impressed
with the klea that his time was short upon the earth, and
hence, he had been setting his house in order for his de
parture. His family now set in sorrow around the fami
ly altar. Yet they mourn not as those who have no hope,
for their loss is his gain. May the great head of the
Church bless this affliction, to the good of the children,
and lead them to the God of their Father.
The M. E. Church has lost one of its prominent mem
bers, and society one of its best citizens. May the Lord
sustain the widow in her affliction.
