Bribery and Corruption at Elections,
Tho disclosures mado before thoComiiia
sionors at Gloucester and
show the frightful extent of bribery andjoiv
mption at the Parliamentary ln Eng
land, \vill not bo without their nse v ‘lUnjuW !
terly impossible that such a By stem cap bo al
lowed to continue, and it is not unlikely o*s*
some decided step will be takon, next session,
to make bribery a felony, punishable With
transportation to a penal settlement, or 'im
prisonment with hard labor in the Ilotfflp ot
Correction. The question is not,wJ^ ut f
tereat here —where the influences of tho
Custom House, and Navy Yard aTe so Con
stantly and stringently brought to bear lipon
tho votes and purses of electors. - j r y
An English journal, which la' decidedly
against tho bribery question, thus sketches
the disclosures mado at Gloucester, by an’ox*
M. P. It Bays: i ;
“Undor ordinary circumstances, people
bo perfectly sick of tho daily patado of Gloucester'
in thoTsevrspapers; but for the flam© reason jtfeat
Bmethoret is cowan object of Infinitely greater lip
derest than he was eighteen months ago, thatcity
haa' suddenly bocotuo invested with positive attrac
tions. ThU is our exouse for repeating aUltlevrf
tho history of that constituency, as sketched by Bfr
Maurice JQerlrely beforo the Election Commli
slon on Thursday. The gallant Admiral tells-fis
that in tho primo old days of rottetme»7-1810
1818—ho oontostod the city in the Liberal Inty
rest, and that his expenses on that ooeialon
amounted to upwards of £16,000! Like Siy If.
Garden, Mr. Leatham, and tho host of ethereal
didates reoently suspected of bribery, ho declares
that he was perfectly ignorant of tho existence of
illegal practices, although at the same time he could
not say that some of the electors did not receive
money’for their votes. The purse duahOoaUoD
continued in full force, we are told, until the pass
ing of tho Reform Act, when a vast redaction in
tho ‘.necessary’ expenses was effected. Theflrtt
election after the passing of tho act cost -blot
£1.600, while nouo of the subsequent contests re
quired a greater outlay than £BOO. Thlfl lB ftc
far satisfactory; but daily experience proves
that time and' temptation very often thoroughly
obliterate the good impressions which a judicious
course of eorreotlve discipline may have produced
on the mind of a person 4 well known to the police,’
and even thus it appears to have been in the cm©
of Gloucester. It is quite clear that that free and
independent constituency was getting thoroughly
disgusted with £BOO elections; for, says Sir
rice, <in 1852,' Mr. Price, lur. Hope, and myself,
entorod into an agreement that we would go to flo
expense but what was strictly legal, and that we
Would conduot the election on ihopurext print*pits. 1 .
Tho only inference to be drawn from tfifa' highly*
commendable arrangement is, that there were oxju«
nous symptoms that ‘what was striotly legal/ and
l tho purest principles’ had fallen into deofdea dis
grace. This was satisfactorily proved at the neit
election, that of 1857. The gallant Admiral was
opposed by Sir R. Carden, and was defeated; and
if we may take bis statement as being strictly cor
rect, the dofeat is easily explained. His expenses
did not amount to £4OO, while Slrß. Carden, ac
cording to his own showing, spent upwards of
£4,000 In this contest. Sir Maurice denounces
bribery with great vehemenoo. and he expresses as
opinion In which most men will concur, ‘that the
punishment should reach the briber, not the poor
man who accept* the bribo.’ Let it he
to the creditor this rotten constituency, that this,
sentiment was received with ‘loud applause.”’ *\
Another newspaper takes up tho Wakefield
Election Inquiry, and briefly sums up a woekte
work: t
“ The revelations during the week by the Com
missioners at Wakefield have, if possible: been
more astounding than those that preceded! them.,
Mr. Oharlesworth, one of the candidates, in con
nection with his brother, gavo an order on hi*
banker for £6,000. This money, at loast within n
few pounds, was all expended during' the eleotioh;

; Tho copyright of his “ Common Sense” alone,
vrhioh, according to Dr.’Rush, “ bp rat from tho press
with an effect which has rarely been produced by
types and paper In any ago or oountry,” was gene-
away to every State in the Union. Of
this pamphlet alone, it should be remombored, not
less than one hundred thousand oopies were sold.
Who, might I ask, was to remunerate him, when
evon the Continental Congress protended to ignore
the idea promulgated by Paine of a total separa
when such pampholteersM “Cato,” “Plain
Truth,” and othors, were declaiming against him

Col. Laurens knew ho had little principle when he
requested to be accompanied by him to France to
hegofiatiTi loan from that Government. Paine
bad very little principle in desiring to liberato his
native country, and publishing treason in the heart
of London; littlo principle in risking his venerable
bead In tho French Convention to save tho life of
a king.
. ? n VP' Paine was appointed by Congress secretary
to the Committee for Foreicn Affairs, bat * in less than
two years, ami. pending .proceedings against him
for false publications and violations of hts trust and
resigned office to escape a disgraceful disiuis-
As the refuting of tho above charges would re
quire more room than, perhaps, you can conve
niently grant me in your columns, I refer those In
terested in the mattor to Vale’s “ Life of Paine,”
tho journals of tho day, Paine’s “ Lettor to Con
gross,” dated New York, February 14, 1608, and
to tho last number of tho Atlantic Monthly.
“ Even this glowing patriotism was made to order, and
purchased liko any other marketable commodity. Paine
paused, alter como- numbers of Tho Crisis had been
published, and their value was perceived, until Robert
Morns induced him to proceed by promise oi a stipula
ted turn of money, es compensation lor his services."
This is placed iu a different, and, perhaps, more
unfair light In the Atlantic Monthly: “Corn,
walllfl had surrendered, and it was evident the war
would not last much longer. The danger past,
the Colonial aversion to pay Union expenses, and
to obey the orders of Congress, became dally
stronger. The want of a ‘ Crisis,’ os a corrective
medicine for the body politic, was so much felt,
that Robort Morris, with tho knowledgo and ap*
probation of Washington, roquestod Paino to take
pon in hand again, offering him, if his private
affairs made it necessary, n salary for hfs servicos.
Paine consented. A ‘Crisis’ appeared which
produced a moat salutary effect.”
“ He voted for the war with England, and against the
execution of Louis XVI. For this last vote he was
committed to prison. by the Convention, in 17?*, and
narrowly escaped tho guillotine durirg the dictatorship
of Robespierre.”
Mr. Paino was imprisoned because ho was a
foreigner and an EoglUhman. An act of tho Con
vention decreed that all persons residing in Prance
who wero born In England should bo imprisoned;
but as Mr. Paine was a member of tho Convention,
and had been complimented, like Washington,
Priestley, Mackintosh, and others, with the title
of “oitizon of Franoe,” this did not at tho time
affect him. But, a short time afterwards, a motion
was made by Bourdon de FOiso, and carried, ex
pelling foreigners from tho Convention. Mr.
Paine and tho patriotic, but unfortunate, Anachar
sis Clootz were both expelled, and tho former
then arrested under the dccreo for imprisoning
natives of England. Tho Americana residing in
Paris wont in a body to the Convention to demand
the liberation of their fellow-eltizon and friend,
whom they stylo “ the Apostle of Liberty in Ame
rica, a profound aud valuable philosopher, a
virtuous ttud esteemed citizen.” Thoy were un
successful, however, in obtaining bis release, and
ho remained in conflnomontfor cloven months.
11 He continued in Paris for some years, sinking deep
er and deeper in debauchery and oxcess.”
The enomiesofMr. Paino, unablo to produeo
satisfactory evidence that ho was not a moral, vir
tuous, and (for those days) tomperato man, in tho
United States, where he was best known, basely
assert that ho was everything but a good man in
Franoe. An old proverb Bays: “ a man is known
by the company ho keeps.” Hero is An extract
from a letter writton from Paris by Lord Edward
Fitzgorald to his mother:
“ I lodge with rov friend Pnine; wo broakfast,
dine, and sup togother. The more I sec of his in
terior, tho more I like anil rospeot him, I cannot
express how kind ho has boon to mo; there is a
simplicity of maimer, a goodness of heart, and a
strength of mind in him, that I never Anew a
man before possess''
Thomas Clio Klokman says of him: “In Franoe
his company was now coveted and sought after
universally. With tho Earl of Laudordalo, and Dr.
Moore, whole compnny he was fond of, he dined
every Friday. * * * Here (at a hotoi In
the Faubourg St. Denis), with a chosen few, be un
bant himself; among whom woro Brissot, tho Mar
quis de Chatolot, Bengal, General Miranda, Mr.
Christie and family, Mury Wolstoneoraft, Mr. and
Mrs. Stone, <fco. Among his American friends wer®
Captain Imlay and Joel Barlow. * * * Ho
usually rose about seven, kronkfasted with his
friend Ohoppin, Johnson, and two or three other
Englishmen, and a Monsieur La Horde, an intole
rable aristocrat, but whose skill in moohauics and
geometry brought on a friendship between him and
Paine. * # * Tho little happy circle who
lived with him hero wilt ever remember those days
with delight.”
On Mr. Paine’s roloose from prison, ho was in
vited by James Monroo, our minister to Franco, af
terwards President of the United States, to roside
with him. With this gentleman he livod about
eighteen months. An extract from Mr. Monroe's
Utter to Paine, whllo ho was in the Luxembourg,
may not be out of plaoo hero:
“ It is necessary for mo to toll you how amoh all
your speak of tho groat mass of
the people—are interested in your Welfare. They
have not forgotton Ibo history of their own revolu
tion, and the diffioalt scones through which they
passed; nor do they review its several stages with
out rovlving lu their bosoms a due sensibility of
the merits of those who sorved them in that great
and arduous conflict. The crime of ingratitude (?]
has not ytt stained, and / trust never wilt
stain, our national character. You are consi
dered by them as not only having rendered im
yortwt services In our own revolution, but m
Ing, on a more extensive scale, tho friend of hu
man rights, and a distinguished and able advooate
in favor of publio liberty.” f
In March, 17M, while Paine was imprisoned at Pa
rts, Appeared the first part of his * Age of Reason.* ’»
The remarks on this bool:, made by the “ n)an
of moral oour&go,” I will not loso time in noticing.
If ho has read the work, ho did not do so, I jam
sure, with the care that he wonldliave displayed
In reading a legal document. Bat as he seemj to
ley great stress on the fact that Mr. Paine was an
infidel, and intimates that Divine Providence took
particular care to punish him on that account, we
will say a few word# on the subject—or rather let
othors: 4 i
‘* As to his religious opinions, as they were those
of probably three-fourths of the men of letters of
the lost age, and of nearly all those of the present,
I see no reason why they should form a distinctive
character in him.”—Joel Barlow. 1

“It is. much to be lamented that a man of Dr.

should hare been an Unbeliever t» Christianity,
and also to have done so much to make others i un

oonduoted its possessors? Most, may bo ajl of
them, had discovered that the Bible was a\for

Dr, Priestley observes, in one of his last tendons,
that when he visited Franco in 1774, all her philoso
phers and men of letters were absolutely infldoli.
Why, then, has Mr. Paino been singled out from
among the Ethan Allens, Jeffersons, Bollngbrqkes,
Volt&iros, Gibbons, Humes, Diderots, Benthams,
Alemberts, Humboldts, and hundreds of other
Freethinkers? We should liko an answer, for we

Samuel Adams. Ho does not say they were
“debased ” in atheism, but that they “were run

a slanderous pack of stuff oalled a Life of
Paine, “about nino in the morning, he placidly,
and almost without a struggle, died, as he had
lived, au enemy to the Christian religion.’* Not
only have we Cbeetham’s word (which amounts to
little) that he died on infidel, but we haveaoopy
of the statement, made on oath, of Mrs. Elisabeth
Ryder, whom Paine residod with for about a year
previous to his death; Mr. Jarvis, tho celebrated
painter ; Mr. Thos. Nixon, Col. Pelton, Mrs! Hod

his last illness; Walter Morton, Willit Hioks,
a member ot the Society of Friends, and a
preacher, Col. John Fellows, and othors—all of
whom, besides, deny the oharges made by modern
saints i that Thomas Paine was a drunkard, and
died “ abandoned by God and man ”
Icannot better conclude this communication
than with an extract from a note to a poem enti

Southwick, a lecturer against infidelity, editor of
a religiouspapor, and atone time a vory popular
politician of the Demooratie party In New York:
“ Had Thomas Paine been a Grecian or a Ro

have the honor of an apotheosis. The Pantheon

[From the 6an Francisco Bulletin of Oct. 20th.)
The reception of Lieutonant General Winfield
fioott, Commander of tho Army of the United
Staten, by tho oitizens of San Francisco, on Sunday,
was one of. the most brilliant demonstrations ovor
accorded to a publio man. Tho whole people re
garded him as the ebief to whom wo owe the pos
session of our glorious State, and remembered, in
welooming him, bis numerous and honorable ser
vices to the country, from tho time when a young
man he distinguished himself at Lundy’s Lane to
the day when he planted the stars and stripes ou
the llalla of tho Moutezumas.
For three or four days, indood ever since it was
positively known that the Gouernl had embarked
at New York for our shores, the citizens of San
Franoisoo exerted themselves to make his reception
an affair due to his rank and merits. A great de
gree of excitement, therefore, prevailed among all
olasses, whiob grew mure and more lively. The
false announcements of the arrival of the steamer,
on Friday night, and again on Saturday night, only
sorved to increase the desire to be present, when
it should oome; and yesterday morning every
body, not only residents of the city, but many visi
ters from tho neighboring coanties, was anxiously
awaiting the telegraphlo news that the steamer was
coming.
The long-looked-for steamer, Golden Ago, was
announced by the telegraph from the Heads yes
terday morning at half-past 8 o'clock. She was
then ten miles out, nnd might be expeoted at tho
wharf in the course of an hour or two. The news
spread rapidly from mouth to mouth. Martial
music was heard in the streets ; the military turn
ed out; the citizens poured out cf their houses,
every vehiole in the city was called into requisition,
and tho entire population was astir. There must
have been 30,060 or 40,000 persons is the streets,
so that the principal ones, and particularly those
which led to Folsom-street wharf, were absolutely
blaok with orowds.
In tho meanwhile the streets were decorated in
many places with flags. This was the oase at Wells,
Fargo, & Co.’a express building, Brennan's build
ing, Tuokor's building, aud at Montgomery Block
aud other plaoes. The triumphal arch at the cor
ner of Montgomery and Sacramento streets was
beautifully deoorated with flags, evergreens, and
flowers, and tho following mottoes: 11 Wo remem
ber our friend,” and “Lundy’s Lane, Vera Crus,
Oerro Gordo, Cnopultepeo, Churubusco, Mexico.”
ft a a the steamer .entered tbo Golden Gate, the
battery at Fort Point gaTo.tt salute, the sounds of
which reverberated over tho city, and for miles
ovor the oountry. As the steamer proceeded up
tho bay, the guus of Aloatrai opened, then tho
revenue cotter william L. Maroy saluted st Meig’s
wharf, and, afterwards, the steamers Sonora and
Northerner, and the ship Twilight.
Tho Golden Age reached her dock at a quarter
before ten o’clock, and was weloomcd by the hus
ms of thousands of people congregated there. The
General and his staff were on the larboard ride of
tho vessel, where they received friends; but the
crowd was kept back, and only a few persons were
allowed to board. Toe General had desired to at
tend divine service, but finding a demonstra
tion was to take place, did not I**ve the steamer at
onoe, and gave notice that hewould not leave until
after the usual church hours, behtg unwilling to be
the occasion of ■ disturbing the * congregations
throughout. th* city. There was consequently a
delay of several hours. t x .

yesterday, Ootober 17th, for the Island of SanJUait
on board tha Puoifio Mail Btemship ComnanVs
steamer Northerner, 17. L. Dali, Esq., oommander.
The steamer was to sail at five o'clock, but long
previous to that hour a large multitude had colloct?
ed in front of the Oriental Hotel, to do the parting
honors to the veteran. An equally Urge number
bad collected on the wharf for the same purpose.
The California Guard, Captain Johns, preceded by
the excellent band of the 3d artillery, if.*B. A., un
der the orders of General J. C. Haven, formed in
front of the Oriental to act as esporf for General
Scott. At twenty minutes before five o’oloek the
gallant chief of the United States Armyfivaed
from the hotel, accompanied by General Haven
and Jndge Hoffman, of tha U. 8. District Couh,
together with the U. S. officers composing a portion
of his staff.
As soon as the towering form of General' Sooti
was seen, the California Guard fired a salute of
fifteen guns, and ha was escorted to his vehicle,
the same used by hfcn In the prooeasion. The Cali
fornia Gnari thea formed as an escort, preceded by
tha Third Artillery band, and, accompanied by
hundreds of citisens on foot, proceeded to the
Northerner. The whole route was thronged with
eager spectators, who immediately fell id . and
joined the proewsrfon. On arriving at the boat, the
Genoral was received with deafening cheers, which
were recognised in a graceful and dignified man

RENEWAL or IXDIAX HOSTILITIES.
The Portland Advertiser learns that just prior
to the departure of the boat Mr. Pierson, the Go
vernment expressman, had arrived at the Dalles,
bringing the startling intelligence that the In
dians had again commenced hostilities—having re
cently killed an entire train of emigrants, while
passing through a canon beyond the Grand Bende.
The Indians sucoeeded in carrying off one wo
man, whom they aro reported to have treated
with every indignity. Mr. Pierson was shot at
several times with arrows, and had one of his
mules killed.
Capt. Wallen's command are reported to be in
pursuit of the hostile Indians.
It to clear to our mind, remarks the same jour
nal, that the causes which have led to the outrages
recently committed by the Indians on the emigrant
train, whom they are. reported to hare cut off.
mainly result from the fact of the settlement oi
the oountry east of the Cascade mountains by the
immigrants of the present season.
As far as wo have heard, there have been no oat
rages committed against the Indians, either by im
migrants or settlers, daring the past eeison, so that
revenge for injuries inflicted, eithor through a wan
ton or thoughtless spirit, cannot have prompted the
present outbreak.
Gem Scott and the Pacific Railroad.
The California papers are full of the reception in
San Francisco of Lieutenant General Scott. Here
to something from the Steamer Bulletin of the 20th
ult., which affords a new view of tho visit of Gen.
Scott to the Pacific coast:
“ While tho primary causo of General Scott's
visit to the Paoifio to the San Juan
Island difficulty, we have every reason to believe
that that to not the sole reason for sending the old
veteran on so distant and fatiguing a journey. It is
understood that the Government derives to get the
personal opinion of General Scott on the subject of
the defences of this coast; and the old soldier
doubtless will not only carefully examine, with
bis own experienced eyes, the works under con
struction to defend San Pranetooo and other
places, bat will scrutinize the coast with a
view to what other paints it is
necessary or prudent to fortify. Perhaps his
labors, in this department, will he. particu
larly directed to the northern eoast, rendered im
portant at this time by the rather sudden spring
log into notice of the neighboring British colonies.
But wo feel quite safe in asserting that he will not
overlook the important defenoes needod for San
Franotooo, and other points for the safety of Cali
fornia, in the event of war. Gen. Scott will also,
undoubtedly, after a personal inspection-of the
oountry, appreoiate more fully than ever before
the exposed position of this State, and the neces
sity that exists for despatching hither, without de
lay, more extensive supplies of arms and military
stores than we now possess, to be in readiness in
caso of need. In many points of view, then, his
visit may be considered as fortunate for California.
“ But there is a probability that a still more im
portant result may grow out of his journey to this
coast at the present time. His tedious and painful
voyage of over 5,000 miles, with all the incident
.uncertainties and transhipments, and particularly
the necessity it involves in crossing a foreign terri
tory, must convince his military mind, in a practi
cal and positivo manner, of the necessity that ex
ists for otherpneans of eomznunloation and trans
portation with tho Atlantio States and California,
for purposes of national defence. When Gen. Scott
comprehends folly the Wealth of California, its Im
portance to the balanoe of the Confederacy in a
commercial point of vlow, and understands tho
roughly the necessity that exists for speedy com
muoloatiou with the centreaof population at the
East, In order to enable the United Steles
to hold this country ia cafe offlwar with a
strong European Power, we be must
dotortolns that It U th« dnt, of th« Drntod

If he becomes imbued with this Idea, and reports
to the President strongly In favor of the road, bto
bixh military reputation and known professional
eagaotty and personal integrity may turn the scale,
derisively, in favor of immediate Government ac
tion In the work. General Scott’s declaration that

what I know of the matter, aid befidve- it to be
sufficient to establish the fact I was at Mr. Hai

Mr. Broderick, and heard him repeat various de
tached and broken sentences. As I stood near
the door of the room in which he was. lying, at
about 3 P. M-, looking directly upon him, he said
something that I did not fully understand. Two
or three persons, who were nearer to him than I
was, came immediately towards me, and I asked
what it was that.he had been saying.* The words
above quoted, as they stand in the columns of the
Daily Times, were repeated to me. Within three
minutes after that I mat you, sad repeated the
words our to yea. Thct made a great unpresicn

Dr. I. Rowell—Dear Sir: Will yon do me the
farm Cl Stating the words used in your hearing by
the late Senator Broderick, after he had been
wounded, and whether you beard the words that
have been published as used by him, that “ be was
killed because he was opposed to the extension of

words to that effect. Yours truly,
O. A. Wasbbcrx.
132 Kxabxy Street, San Francisco,)

To C. A. Wsshxtrx, Esq, — Dear Sir : I hare
received your note of this morning, requesting mo
to state the language made use of By the late trai
tor Broderick, on the Occasion mentioned in your
note.
I know not the object of your inquiry, or the use
to he made of my answer; but I have ever mode '.t
a*principle to state the truth. when it to called for,
without Inquiring particularly into the motives or
objects of those who call for it. Therefore, 1 will
say, in answer to your request, that the late Hon.
D. C. Broderick, on the day of the dud, after he
was wounded, and before reaction h*d taken place,
when I was standing over him, as one of his medi
cal advisers, trying to calm him, and telling him
not to exert himself too much in talking, behold
ing ono of my hands in both of his, did use the
following language, and did address the same to
me, viz: “ 1 am Allied—lam murdered—because
I was opposed to the extension of slavery and a
corrupt Administration.'*
I paw ne judgment upon the propriety of the
remarks of Mr. Broderick; but as to the question,
What did ha say? there to no doubt that he used
the above language on. that occasion.
He said many othek things, but as they are not
inquired for ia yefax-note, it to unnecessary to re
peat them. I remain, rtry respectfully,
Yours,. I. ROWELL.
Uxited States Sexators.— lt is'rumored that
Governor Weller has finally concluded to appoint a
United States Senator to SU the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Mr. Broderick until such time as
the Legislature shall elect a successor, and that the
fortunate man is none other than Major Samuel J.
Heotley, presidentof the California Steam Naviga
tion Company. We doubt the truth of the rumor,
and give it for what it is worth. ’ IT it be true that
Mrior Hensley has been, appointed, then has Gov.
Woiler vieldea to the general cry to appoint % new
man. Mqor Hensley to not much of a politician,
and to a very courteous, clever gentleman.
