The candidates are Harry W. Gray, regular Ucpublican, and Col. A. K. McClure, Ke- form. Congress during the past week has nc- comphshed but little. The Sennto has spout much time discussing the time for ad' journment, and in amending tho apportion mcntbill, of thn House. Sumner's Civil Hight bill also camo in for a share of at tent ion. Tho House has been earnestly discussing tho appropriation bill. tW After a tedious trial occupying forty days, the Jury in tho Wharton case at An napolis, came in on Wednesday last with a a verdict of " not guilty." It has been tho most remarkable case on record, and was most admirably managed by counsel for the defense. Mrs. Wharton was held in bail of $3,000 on another chargo of murder, but it is very doubtful whether that case will be brought to trial. Tho cost of this trial to the authorities was over $16,000. The Legislature. In the Senate tho time has been mostly occupied with bills of purely local interest. Among the bills of general interest passed by the Senate is tho bill of Senator Bucka lew, providing for the introduction of his system of cumulative voting in tho election of school directors, which will givo both political parties a chance to elect a portion of the school board. A bill amending tho registry law of the city of Philadelphia was passed. Tho divorce business of tho Senate was began by tho passage of an act divorcing Charles and Hannah Davis. A resolution was adopted to investigate, tho complaint against tho " Philadelphia University of Medicine" which, is charged with selling diplomas to persons not quali fied. Upon the question of granting a charter to "The Iron and Glass Dollar Savings Bank of Pittsburg," along discussion en sued, it being the first bill of tho kind this season, upon limiting the percentage of the bank to legal interest. Petitions for a prohibitory liquor law were also presented. On Friday the Sonata adjourned until Monday at 8 p. ni. IN THE HOUHK the committeo appointed tosoloct aloeation for the Kothormel picture were instructed to act in conjunction with the like com mittee appointed by the Senate. Tho committee on tho timo and place for opening the returns of tho last State elec tion reported that tho 31st of January, at 11.30 o'clock a. in., bad beeu fixed as the time, and tho hall of tho House of Itepre. scntatives as the plaeo. A bill was passed to prevent tho sale of liquor on any day, or part of a day for a general or special election. Tho second section, of the bill is as follows: Any person violating any ot the pro visions of tho first section of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be subject to im prisonment in tho jail of the proper county for a term of not more than one hundred days, and in addition to the above shall al so be subject to a fine of not more than live hundred dollars and costs, at the dis cretion of the court. The bill wag passed under a suspension of the rules by a vote of 68 yeas to 21 nays. A joint resolution was also passed In structing our Senators and requesting our Representatives in Congress to vote for and urge the passage of a bill granting bounty land to certain persons engaged in the mill' Ury and naval service of the United States, from and alter the fourth day of March. A. D. 1801, introduced into the United Htates House of Representatives by the Hon. L. D. Shoemaker, of Pennsylvania. Pet i tic ns were also presented for the passago of a local option bill. On Friday the Hov to adjourned until Wednesday morning. tW Snow fell at Now Orleans Wednesday night for the Irst timo in several years, flnow fell at Brashoar City, and Vermillion villo and sleet at Ncwlbeiin, Galveston and Houston. '' Reform Movements. Harry W. Gray is called the regular llo- publlcan candidate for Senator or the Fourth district. It Is asserted by many re sponsible men who belong to the Republi can party,- that the nomination of Mr. Gray was secured by the unlimited use of money and whiskey, and they consequently refuse to accept him as their candidate. They have therefore requested Col. A. K. McClure to run as his opponent, and this lie has consented to do. If Col. McClure should not bo elected lie will at least givo Mr. Gray a close run. There is no doubt that the politicians are gradually losing thoir control over tho peoplo, and this action of the Republicans of the Fourth district is further evidence that party Icadors, and partizan papers can n longer successfully dictate to intelligent voters. In this instance Col. McCluro has bcon put forward as a Reform Candidate, and though the frionds of reform in that dis trict may have been unfortunate in the se lection of a candidate to represent such a party, their action is still evidonce of the growing weakness of party lines, and the belief of the people in the noccssity of re form. In fact thinking men rcgardloss of party seem to be firmly convinced of the rottenness of thoir political leaders, and are demanding reform, and ere long will have it too, though both of the great political parties should bo destroyed by tho reform movement. A Heavy Hank Robbery. The Trenton Bank, at Trenton, N. J. was robbed on Sunday evening a week, tho amount stolen being estimated at $100,000, Tho burglars five in number, entered the bank in the rear, it is supposed, about six o'clock. Ono of tho watchmen named, Baylis, was gagged and tied in a chair, and one of the robbers stood before him with a pistol, whilo his confederates got into the vaults and rilled tho boxes containing pri vato deposits. The othor Watchman, Sov ren, arrived at the bank about half an hour later than Baylis, and was seized the moment he entered. A lady passing by happened to see Scvren seized, and gave the alarm, when the peoplo rushed into tho bank and tho robbers fled. Tho burglars left a large number of tools, some heavy timbers, and two kecs of powder. Ono of the robbers is doscribed as " a very tall n, with a bald head." Tho bauk lost nothing, all tho funds reported taken being the property of private depositors. tW A strange incident occurred in tho N.V. Court of Oyer and Terminer last week. It appears that on Deo. 14th, John Kcnevan and Patrick McCarthy wore tried for tho theft of a pocket-book from Henry Mar thaler, a Gorman, in Rector st. They wore convicted on the testimony of Marthalor, who swore positively to thoir identity. The prisoners were brought before Judgo Iugra bam for soutenco, whou two men, who were standing in tho back part of ths room, came forward, one of them exclaiming loud ly : "Them men is not guilty lam the man!" The interruption created a sensa tion in the court-room, and no little inter est was manifested, which increased as the men having been placed on the stand con fessed that they committed the robbery, and that the two prisoners awaiting sonteneo were innocent. It now appears that ono of them is the uncle of McCarthy, that the real criminals havo been at sea siuco the rob bery, was committed, and only heard of the trial on their return in time to prevent tho wrongful punishment of their two friends. Ancient Gold Coin Found, In Philadelphia, on tho 23d, whilo some boys were digging in a cellar under a con fectioner's shop, they dug up a number of gold coins, which were wrapped in brown paper, and are supposed to have been plac ed there by a collector of old coins. Some are very ancient. Ono of them, the Intrin sic value of which is about ton dollars, has upon it tho letters F. N. A., aud immedi ately under them tho numbors 7, 4, 1, sep arated by raised lines. Tho characters upon it are two lines and two castlos. The coin is roughly made, and seems to be struck upon a die, the coiucr using a ham mer. About five hundred dollars' worth In gold were gathered up. Tho oldest pieco having a date upon it was made in the year 1078. The coin is in excellent condition, the soil being sandy, and the paper jn which they wore wrapped was well preserved. The Jumel Estate and Litigation. One of tho famous lawsuits in the United States at present in that involving the Ju mel estate, which came on for trial last week in Now York, before Judge Bhipman The lands in dispute, valued at 13,000,000, are in the possession of ono Nelson Choso, who claims in right of his wire as heir to Mme. Jumel, and also aa grantee of certain of nieces and nephews, who claims are bor l.nli-n if l.u wife Is not. The suit for the property is brought by Goorge W. Bowen, a sou of Mme. Jumel, who Chase alloges is Illegitimate. Bowon claims that Mrs. Chase is lllogitimato, and Is not the child of Mine, Jumel at all, but of her sister. Additional interest attaches to tho suit from the fact that tho deceased Mmo. Jumel was tho w ifo of Aaron Burr, and aftor his death married a Preuchmnn, Jumel. Col. Thou. A. Scott, vs. Wendell Phillips. In a series of lectures which Mr. Phillips, has been , giving the past winter, he takes occasion to make sevore reflections on Col. Scott. An exchango noticing the locturo, shows the contrast between tho two men as follows : "A practical instance of the superiority of tho "Railroad King" ovor his defamer is found In the courso of tho two men dur ing tho war. At an oarly day in the great strugglo for tho country's life, it was found essential for success that the lines of trans portation for our troops, should bo combin ed into a perfect system, and at this junc ture Abraham Lincoln called upon Mr. Scott to take chargo of tho railroads of the country, and to so systomatizo their opoia- tious as to mako the transportation of troops from ono extreme point of the Union to another, easy and rapid. To this Mr. Scott promptly responded, although by do ing so he was compelled to neglect his duties connected with the great corpora tion of which he was Vico president, and in which all his personal interest lay. How effectually ho worked for the government ; how admirably were his plans and how ex cellent wore the results, are parts of the history of tho rebellion. Whilo he was thus engaged, giving to his country his best skill, energy and labor, Mr. Wendell Phillips was wandering about the country, and, for so many hundred dot lars per night, was abusing Mr. Lincoln and tho plans of tho government for tho suppression of the war, just as now ho is abusing Hon. T.A. Scott and his wise plans for promoting, by gigantic railroad enter prises, tho growth of tho country in wealth and importance. The one man builds greatly, while the othor contents himself with criticising the work which ho cannot do. Tho one has a strong brain to conceive and dare, and strong hands to work his dariug out, while the other has neither, and so makes capital of abuso and detraction. Both are men of wealth, but tho lecturer was born to it, while the laborer, who has labored with such magnificent success, has earned all he possess, and no one denies that it is his fairly. Fun ou the Ice. A correspondent describing the trial of an ice boat in the Hudson, presents tho fol lowing graphic picture : " Now, thon, boys," said the helmsman, "let us shako out the reefs and go for time." All agreed, and every inch of tho boat's canvas was soon spread, "uoi auoara, quick !" shouted the owner, and in an in stant tho craft was put before tho wmd. With a fearful whir-v-r-r ! she started down the river, a porfect fog of lino ice (lying from her rudder runner. Persons gazing at her held their breath at the exciting scene. Slio had attained fearful speed, aud one had hardly timo for thought before she was a milo away, in less than two minutes she was off Blue Point, two miles away. She ilew by Milton like a bird on the wing, aud was abreast of Marlboroughor in almost a minute afterwards. The men on board conld hardly see. Their eyes were greatly s fleeted, and water flowed from them freely. Men on tho ice off New Hamburg saw the boat coming with such lightning rapid ity that they instinctively ran to the shore ; but there was no danger. Tho helmsman brought her around in flno stylo, witli head to the wind and sails flapping. She had performed a feat which had not bcon equal ed by an ice boat for a number of years. How she had held together I don't know, but she did. tJT Tho Ohio House passed a bill on Saturday allowing prosecuting attorneys to remain with the grand jury during sittings. A bill was introduced to allow, in proceed ings in tho condemnation of property by corporations the challongo of jurors as in other cases, and if corporations fail in ton days to tako the property at price fixed by tho jury, the court is required to collect costs and expenses, including attorney s fees, by execution as nt law. t?T It is said that after Flak's debts are all settled bis property will not amount to more than 1 100.000. His life was in- sured for $20,000 in tho Equitable Insur ance Company of Now York. If this sin gular statcmout bo true, tho flourish of m trumpets with which oven in his dying moments he executed a will giving largo sums of money to his sister, father, mother and friends will prove to bo purely m sen sational an act as any other of bis life. Op All th singular bills over offered in ay Legislature, tho following goe ahead t Amona a large number of bill introduce . I ed In the New Jersey Legislature is one to allow passengers on railroad tralna in case of ovor ten minute detention by accident or ntherwlHa to sue for a recovery of the faro paid. Persons whoso timo is so valuable as that had better stay at home. tar Joseph Grifliths, formerly of Al toona, on the llith ult., dropped dead at his wife's grave, at Virginia City, Nevada. Ho hail gono to visit the grave, and having b6cu afflicted with disease of tho heart for some time, dropped dead. Possessed by the Devil. A Mr. Ell Stowe and wife, living in Ran dolph, N. York, some four miles from tho Bend (Nazarties), becoming possessed with the idea that the devil had entered Into their child (a baby only eighteen months old) and that the evil spirit must bo con quered by whipping and starving, are said to havo tied the helpless infant in a high chair for twenty-throe hours, ever and anon spanking and whipping it, until when dis covered it was said to be "black and blue" from its neck to its heels, and its littlo quivering flesh so cut and mangled by the lash that tho blood actually trickled down the chair to the floor. The alarm was given by tho hired man, who hastened to tho child!s grand-parent, a Mr, Kent, living near Windsor village, who, on loarnlng tho facts, hastened as fast as whip and spur could urge a fleet hurse, and on reaching the house of tho infatuated parents, ac tually found tho babo undergoing crucifix ion at the hand of the father and molhor, as above stated. A fow hours longer must havo ended its sufferings, as the child scorned to be so exhausted as to be nearly insensible. A thrill of horror seemed to pervade the community, and a universal murmur for the law to have its weight. The parents have heretofore been regarded as good citizens, and the cause of this, tem porary religious Insanity is unknown. Sunk by an Earthquake. News from Buenos Aycrs gives tho par ticulars of a recent earthquake at Salta. On the 22nd of October at 11 o'clock p.m., when most of the inhabitants ot the town of Oran had retired -to their houses, the first shock was felt. The greatest terror at once provailod, and tho peoplo rushed mad ly into tho streets; fow had gono to bed, as for hours before a dull, rumbling noiso bad been heard in the distance, and all feared that it portended some unusual catastrophe. The shocks continued at intervals for near ly nine hours, during which timo forty dis tinct movements of the earth were felt. Tho pavement of the streets was split open now here, now there and the hous es fell in confused heaps of ruins. There is only ono death to record, that of Sr. Reyes, and some contusions to other persons. Most of tho inhabitants lushed out to the camp after the first shock, aud so saved their lives, but tho town of Oran may bo considered ns totally destroyed. A Terrible Affair. The St. Louis Democrat says : that, sometime ago, the cars ran over a cow in Union county, I ml., throwing the train off tho track and injuring some twenty persons. A Mr. Patterson living near where tho ac cident occurred, took some of tho persons injured to his bouse, among thorn a man, woman and child. It turns out that they bad just buried a child at Indianapolis from tho small pox. Instead of destroying the child's clothing, they brought it along, and it was used for bandages among those injured by the rail road accident. The result has beeu most appalling. Sixteen persons havo died, so far, among them Mr. Patterson's wife. During tho examination of Dr. War ren in tho trial of Mrs. Wharton, nt Annap olis, tho othor day, Attorney General Syes tcr remarked to tho witness: " A doctor ought to be able to givo an opinion of a disease without making mis takes." Witness They arc as capable as a law yer. . Attorney Gen. Doctor's mistakes are buried six feet under ground. A lawyers are not. Witness But they are sometimes hung on a tree. C2TA Peoria man was attacked and knocked down by a wild steer, which at tempted to pin him to the ground. Luck ily tho animal's horns passed between the man's body and arms. Possessing great muscular power tho man seized the horns aud with all his force twisted tho steer's nock and throw him. Ho thon jumped up and ran, but his (light was needless, ss the steer was found dead next morning just where ho was thrown, his neck having been broken. tW pious but uncultivated Judgo closed a sentence with the following touch ing reproach : " Prisoner at the bar, nature has endowed you with a good edu cation and a respectable family connection, instead of which you go prowling round th country stealing ducks." tW A fire in Pearl street, Brooklyn, last Thursday night, burned three small frame houses, from the explosion of a koroscno lamp, which sat fire to the clothing of an elderly lady named Lucy A.
