The Act was originally--prsed by a vote of 29 yeas to:9 nays.

TUE DEMUCRATIC 111.1911191 T., A leading Democratic journal of ifaine„ the ,Portland Argus, makes the follOsting estimate of the result of the first ballot in the approaching Deingnratio National Conventionevlz: Fok McClellan 112 " Pendleton, • 103 gar.cock, 107 In this estimate the Nentlngland States and New York, with Califon pia, Delaware, and Tennessee are given to McClellan, most otthe Wes• tern States, with Kentucky and West Virginia to Pendleton, and the South ern States and Pennsylvania to Han cock. But certainly McClellan has no such strength as this calculation represents him to bare. Pendleton seems likely to got many of the States assigned to McClellan and Hancock respectively. The N. Y. Bun remarks that in all 'probability the contest in the Convention will be between Gov. Seymour and Mr. Pendleton,; and sets down the following as the prob able division of the votes at the start s For Pendleton, .. For Seymour, Dolabtful, ~„ . 26 In this estimate nearly aTB the Western and Southern States are, given to Pendleton, while New York, , New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New England Staten with the excep tion of Maine, are , handed over to Seymour. As the two-thirds rule, will be enforced, and it will require 212 votes to select the candidate, it is apparent that, if our estimate is coned, there can be no nomination on the first ballot. But the States of l Oregon and Nevada, which we have classed as doubtful, are more likely to vote for Pendleton than for hie competitor. In Maine, the Conven tion of one district has also declared for him ; and in Maryland, not only are the - predominant. tendencies in his favor, but some of the moat influ ential Democratic politicians are openly his advocates. As . the matter appears to-day, his nomination by the Convention on the Fourth of July is more than probable ; but no man can tell wha• may happen between i 3 now and the meeting of the Conven tion. These, are very rapid times, and the plan of the shrewdest poli ticians are often overset by causes which come upon them by surprise. GEN. tCAMERON'S VOTEB.—The press of the State, almost without excep- tion, arc loud in their praise of the unifoimity with which Gen. CAMERON votes for the Right in the Impeach ment trial of the President. Penn sylvania may well be proud of her Senator. Gen. CAMERON takes a prac tieakeommon sense view of the ques tions involved in the trial. No man understands better than he, the de sires and convictions of the public. Re realizes that long before articles of impeachment had been preferred agabist JontrsoN he had been arraign ed before the bar of public opinion, and _conyicted of being a traitor to his pit* and his principles, a tyrant and despot, who was plotting the ru in of the country. Sentence was long since pronounced against him by the people, who are really his triers, and whose verdict the Senate should and must respect. • On the impeachment trial, as on all other 'questions, the-votes of Gen. CAUF t lifkldlaVC been of the most sound and radical character. There is nev et any question as to where his vote will be cast. He boldly and truthful ly represents the radical sentiment of the State, for which he deserves as he receives, the approval of every sound and honest Republican. - • STATE TR - EASCREIL=On Monday las , Gen. Ittalx entered 'upon the duties of the office of the State Treasurer, to which he was elected in January last, W. H. KEMBLE, retiring. Mr. lambi. will - unquestionably make a faithful and popular officer, as he possesses the ability, and we have no , doubt, has the desire to administer the fi nances of the State, in such a manner as shall redound to her financial cred it, and to the interests of the tax. payers. Mr. Isms has re-appointed M. H. TAcoarr, Esq., as cashier of the de partment, a responsible place, and , one which he has ably and honestly filled for some years. He has also re appointed as Chief Clerk, Wu. LEwis, of this County, an appointment emi neatly fit to be made.. Mr. LEWIS has occupied one of the most important desks in the Treasury for some time, and has earned the reputation of be ing an.efficient and valuable officer. We congratulate Mr..laKui upon the favorable auspices undet which he commences his official life, and-pre dict for him a worthy and popular career. as, The election of Hon. GALL - BHA A. Gaon as chairman of the State Central Committee will be received with the liveliest satisfaction by every Republican. He possesses in an eminent degree, the qualifications necessary for a proper discharge of the duties of that respowdble posi tion. Energetic and persevering, he will give his time and best exertions during the canvass towards marshall ing She forces of the Republican party, and organizing for a vigorous and successful . campaign. We hail his alipointment as the premonition of a "good time coming" in the tics of Pennsylvania, when the ono ' case of our principlet is not to bo made secondary to the advancement of mercenary and selfish scheme'. .194 THE VICTIMS OF TEE RAILI3O4 ACM* DENT.—A despatch from Port ilervis, says that. j iwo more victims; of the fearful 'slaughter at Carr's Rock have been added the past iteek to the long list of the dead.

A Rum -Wcotss.—After thirty-six years of litigation,the celebrated law suit of Mrs. Gains has been settled and the decision of the United States Supreme Court in her favor renders her the weathiest woman in America. Mrs. Gaines claimed to be the daugh ter of Daniel Clarke,lwho was born in Sligo,lreland, and came to this wan try on the invitation of a rich beam lor uncle who made him his heir. In 1802 Mr. Clark married Zulema Car rier,and Myra Clark (afterwards Mrs. Osines)was born of this marriage.-- Disagreement arose between Mr. and Mrs. Clark, and in .1807 they separat ed. No public acknowledgment of her Snot mi Wrier was ever made,and Mrs. Clark married again. In 1818 _MOM Clarke made a will wherein he recognised the legitimacy of Myra, and devised her his immense property. Yet, of this will his dangter was kept in ignorance. She was reared by a Mr. Davis, and knew nothing of her parents or her rights. In 1882 she married Ma j. Gen. Gaines. In examin ing some old papers, by mere acci dent, he obtained intimation of his wife's parentage and claims, and a suit was at once commenced against Mr. Clark's executors.

This . was rendered more significant by the bitter opposi tion of the Premier, 'who pronounced the scheme. one of confiscation and violence, to wliich he said the people of England would never cosent.
