The K. N's.
Every political faction that'hac ever sprung
up in the State of Pennsylvania. says the nom
daysburg Stottaard, has invariably fallen into
the arms of the Whig party, except the K. N's.
In the present instance. matters appear rev,ers
ed--.the K. swallowed sallowed the Whigs,
tooth and toe-nail. But then to understand
matters properly,' it is not' necessary that We
should state that an eNceedingly largre,majori
ty of the Whigs are Know-Nothings, so that
they bad but a moiety of easily digested Matter
to swallow. This - fact is evidenced in the or
.gailization of the Legislature, where a few beg
garly crumhs—scareely, as many as Lazarus
asked from the rich tnan—were thrown to those
who have heretofore acted with the Democratic
party. All the lucrative offices ware monopo
lized by the old Whig Know-Nothings, while
some three Democratshad to suffice with minor
places—and even that was pretty well, when
we consider that three hundred lean cms be-
sieged the Capital, to,grasp every bone worth
gnawing at'. 'But the end is not yet. The
Democrats. by such petty fitvors, are to be kept
in the leading- strings of Whiggery !
PATENT BURGLAR. P nooF. —The Philadelphia
Ledger gives the following account of an in
vention recently put in operation in that city,
designed as a proof against burglary. it says :
The first was in the house of M r. Pant, Fifth
street, above Brown. and since its introduction
a second and' third has' been put up by Mr.
Daniel Wells, the inventor and patentee, and
by a brotherof Mr.,Pritd. The principle upon
which it operates is a combination of wires
and leverages, acting upon an alarm similar to
those-used in the omnibus-registers. An ex
amination of the . proof, - yesterday, in two . of
the houses mentioned, exhibited the fact clear
ly, that a window sash cannot be raised, nor
a door opened half an inch, when the proof is
set at night, without starting the alarm, which
strikes upwards of one hundred times. The
springs required tube arranged in the sash sad
doors' communicate icy wires with the alarm.
and the least distnrhance starts it going. The
alarm can be placed anywhere in the• house,
but the hall up stairs or chambers arc more
desirable. They can be made of sufficient
size to alarm the neighborhood fOr 'squares
round, but the size already in use answers the
purpose of disturbing the inmates of the house
in which it is placed, or those immediately ad
joining. Another desirable fvtiture in this
patent is that the-instant a sash or door is
opened, the alarm itself could not fail to fright
en off a burglar. Besides connecting the wires
with doors and windows, they can be arranged,
as experiment shows. to work equally well On
floors, stairways. or anywhere else it is likely
a burglar would enter or pasS through a
dwelling house. The cost of these proofs is
. said to be trifling, compared with their safety.'
QrEElt MATRIMONIAL FREAK.-A letter from
a citizen of Livingston county, Kentucky, to
the Danville Tribune, relates the following bit
of family history in that neighborhood :
"A widow lady took an orphan boy to raise.
quite small, and when , arrived at the age of
eighteen shelanarried him. she then being in
her fiftieth year. They lived many years to
gether, happy as any couple. Ten years ago
they took an orphan girl to raise. This fall
the old lady died, being ninety-six' years of
age, and in seven weeks after, the old man
married the girl they had raised, he being
sixty-eight years old, and she eighteen."

Crt - Nntr.ss.--A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, in a letter datqthe 23d,
says:
The Pacific railroad was to-day, finally re
referred to the select committee of thirteen,
who, if they choose, may report in a week or
so, and then there may he another fight on.the,
bill, but it is.not likely that there will be time

somewhat doubtful whether , the *ate will
agree to it.
The news here to-day from Albany is that
Gov. Seivard will undoubtedly be re-elected to
the United States Senate; in spite of all the op.
position the Know-Nothings can bring to bear
against him.:--Gov. Seward's opposition to
the secret order has rendered him extensively
popular among the adopted citizens ofhis State.
The bounty land bill ; from being overloaded,
is in danger in the Senate. If it does not pass
soon, there will hardly be time left to _pass it
through the House. The riders with which
the bill is being provided in the Senate are in
tended to kill the bill in the House. .
The . French spoliation claims were at last,
on motion of Mr. Bayly, of Virginia. taken up
and considered. So much has already been
said on this subject that it would be a work of
supererogation to attempt to make it clearer.
The-claito seems to be well established, under
every rule of public law. The United States .
have been benefited.to more than twenty times
the amount, and the poor - claimants and their
dekendants have been hurled from wealth
and comfort to penury and distrust. The bill
seems - to - have a large - majority of the -Honse in
-
its favor, and is likely to pass without muchdebate. • •
ra - The Legislature has -taken another - step
forward in "reform" by electing some eight or
ten additional officers : —the precise number
we don't 'see stated, but altogether the employ
ees.of the present Legislature outnumber those
of the last by at least a dozen.
This is not a very important matter, it is
true, as the additional expense will not much
exceed $3,000, but it exhibits a principle
which. if not prguiptly checked, will soon be
come the fruitful mother of a hundred more.
These ofikes are created for the sole purpose
of making places for the'idle followers of ...Sam"
to loaf at the public expense. The number of
employees might have been cOnsiderably re
duced Without detriment, to the public interest ;

The Maine Liquor Law.
BOSTON, Jan. 23.—A more stringent liquor
law is coining before the Legislature of Maine,
from Neal Dow. The bill provides a penalty
of a fine of $5O. and four months' imprison•
inept for the first violation : the same tine and
six months' imprisonment for the second, and
a fine - of $lOO and one year's imprisonment for
the third offence.
No action is to be entertained against the
officers for destroying liquor, and common
Carriers are made liable for carrying liquor
contrary to law, under the penalty of line for
the first two offences, and imprisonment for
the third. it is thought the bill will pass.
