JOSIAH KING, The masses did not understand why they should yield their preferences to the few who held eminent social and buiinesa positions, while the men of wealth, conscious that theiDnames were good tm 'Changeolid not perceive why they should be less potential In , determining the pulsations of public opinion. , The delegations from the cot nty in, the ,tvv? brancbes of, the Legislature, wrought Upon,:consciously br unwinds:ma , ly, by.taese.conflicting elements, reflected their diveisitlea ~uf aim,, audi could noi be brought to an agreement. • MBE Under etch circumstandee; it ' catmol be thought strange , that combinations, moor tended and influential scales, were found impossible in favor of-either of 'these gen tlemen; nor that the nrystalization. of Opin- ion was ultimately, disclosed,infavor of Ms. JoiiiScoiT, 'of county This,gmtlentui, though mainly devoted to the pursuit of his Profession as a lawyer, bas been steadily rising In — popular estima tion for a considerable series of years. In the forty fifth year of . his age, in the: inetu riti of hispowers, with ,a personal reputa tion untarnished, and with conspicuous tip tlinde and capacity : for • the conduct of af fairs, there has been a spontaneous turn ing to him as peculiarly fitted by nature and. training for service in the national Senate. Of Scotch-Irish extraction, on both sides, his father was born in Adams county, from whencehe removed to Huntingdon county, where he became' prominent, and served fOr a period in Congregs. Jon was born in Huntingdon county, receiving such educa tion as the common schools supplied, with -the addition of some instruction - - in the classics, obtained from the clergynufn of his native village. He studied law at Chambers burg, under Judge 1 1'nosrpson-, and upon being to tliehar settled in Hunt ingdon, where hibits since continued to re side. Followhigthe traditions of the took from which he sprang, resbYteri9, holding the office, which he honors, of Ruling Elder: 1 ' ' His has held but- two political offices, .at of. Revenue Commissioner and member .f the Legislature. He commenced life a Democrat, but of the anti-slavery tendencies. In 1852, in te Democratic State Convention, he led the as - sault upon Mr. Biro:oxen, writing the ad dress against that gentleman which created a wide and Profound impression at the tim He afterwards zesig,ted the Kansas infamy In'lB6o, he was a supporter of Mr. DOUG' Las, for the Presidency. In 1861, at the so licitation of committees of both ' parties, h was a candidate for the Legislature on th basis of unwavering support of the Govern ment in its efforts to put down the Rebel lion. In, 1862, the Democrats nominated him for State Senator; but he refusedto ac cept, and distinctly on the ground that there should be no other divisions than traitors and loYalists while the war lasted. He has ever since co-operated with the Republicans., Two years ago he was President of the Re publican State Conventfoir that assembled at Williamsport, and his vigorous addres on taking the chair elicited great enthusiasm. As a DemOcrat and Republican he haa constantly advocated the Protection of 'Home 'lndustry as a National Policy of beneficent tendency to , all important bud teas interests. It is not dallied that Mr: Scarf has had practical 'experience in statesmanship. As already stated, he has been little in public life. "Nor yet is it assumed that he has ac tually demonstrated, capabilities and endow ments entitling him 'to take 'rank among menof the highest order of intellect. Poit he is a man of much more than ordinary powers—a good deal beyond the common run of niercputinto public lifelnthis Com: monwealtli. He lissontrreover; 'capabilities which, applied as he will apply them in the sphere that now opens before hun, may soon place him among the foremost men of the Senate. , • In selecting Mr. Scan the Republican members 'of the Legislature have done deci dedly well.

The' dretan question was but Its outcrop upon4osur . THE CONGRESS, OR I,PAinS: MN :MGR GAZETTE j s ems.sammeeesmismmom , .......----- 'Nee of affaira 'The true question - forthe t ~ Conference to consider is the choice of two alternatives, viz: Shall the Sultan be per mitted to expel all Greek subjects from his territories, and to retain his European posses sions, the Greek islands ang the Danubian provinces, under suck local administration of his authority as his own judgment pre ectribes, or shall European Turkey be en- : tirely blotted from the map of the Continent by the absorption. of all those territories under the government of a Christianrwer? This is the real question before the Confer. ence of Paris, and it might be settled With out difficulty if the Powers were agreed upon the imperatiVe need of recasting the present condition of things. , • But the affair does not stand in that way. England, France and - Prussia are decidedly averse for obvious reasons, to that leool2- sizietion of th European map, for they have nothing , gain, except in the #esent interests Of peace, by an adjuitnient which would finally terminate all controversies in the aggrandizement of Rlllliill and Austria. To these latter powers and, to Greece the European possessions of the Sultan Would inevitably fall, in the eventof the expulsion of the Mirka. Greece, nominally an lade. Pendent Kingdem, is Russian in religious and ' political sympathies, and, instead of a bar= rier, is praCticidly but the cover Ai-r -ole Russian advance to theßouthand South- East. The Greek flag flying throughout the Levant would signify the practical annexe tion of the main-land and all the Islands of the Archipelago to the Russian dominion. Ettrope can never consent to this nor the surrender of the Bosphorus to the Czar, that the Black Seanhall become a Russian -lake, its waters and the two continents which they wash forever closed to every other flag. • European Conferences and Congresses have a traditional reputation as impotent fail tires, and the new . Congress of Paris bids fair to maintain-the 'same character. There is no likelihoed of their making any Choice Among the alternatives before them. They will aim to bridge over the present difficulty by some specious compromise. In the in terests of Christian civilization, they will do nothing to confirm . the permanent hold of the `Sultan' upon his Christian subjects, nor, on the other hand, will Russian ambition . be 'gratified by the acquisition of territory for which she has plotted and fought . since Peter the Great first made her an European power. '. These diplomatists will exhaust all their fertility on' expedients, not in finally disposing of the one great question' before them, but in how not to do it. The peace of the Continent may depend upon their suc cess- not 1 hi lemming. the conditions of a lasting tranquility, but in putting off the inevitablesolntion for another dali. Neither Russia nor Austria find themselves prepared for a great war. Frinice has no , object to gain by hostilities, unless it might be as the safety-valve for a p e ople just now -deeply moved by domestic excitement. Prussia will not fire a gun without good cause, and the policy of England is essentially pacific. Thus the Conference may result in ad journing for--a year or two longer the ex pulsion, sooner or later inevitable, of the Crescentifrom European:sok In whatever .hape, onnt wha ed of , e moment, that question ~ sy be dispos neither Greece nor Tur ey wilhbe consulted in the solution. WR was a brief telegraphic announce ment that our new Minister to Paraguay, General 'lifcMAHoN, has obtained , ample satisfaction for the outrages alleged to have been committed upon Ainericans by the authoritiea of that country.

'The IrispectOr of Prisons and Alms. ' tobses of this Commonwealth, Mr. MAL LON H. DlcK nlsoN, has made his Annual Report to Governor GEARY, from which we extract the following: i - 1 To Ma Excelleley, - lohn W. Geary, On ernor of Penney/rank': ' SIB: Under the appointment • I had the honer to receive at your hands, I have con tinued during' the present year to visit the prisons and almshouses of the Common wealth. It is gratifying to be able to say that in some localities efforts are being made, by the erection of new buildings with mod ern improitements and appliances, to better the condition and add to the comforts of those who may be driven, through poverty and affliction, to , ask for public maintenance. The light that has dawned . upon these counties . I regret to say his not yet perm treed the darkness • which . his , so long shrouded others; the citizens ihereof apPeez not to understand that it is their dtity as Christians to p rovide for the poor and friend lesi. , ' 1, • The means adopted for the care of these unfortunates in some of the counties of the i l State wo ddo no credit to an uncivilized Or sale 'eople. No house or home is provide, y the country where their wants can be 'in plied; no well-appointed hospital, where di e can be properly treated; but all who' are unable to take care of thi3mselves are entrusted to the tender mercies of the spetu/ator who bids the lowest - for'the privi lege of hoarding them. I do not charge that all who are thus "sold at public outcry" to the lowest bidder are stamd, neglected; or abused; but I do contend that the system is, liable to great abuse, especiallY EIS these patients• are scat tered over the comity,. and cannot' be un der the supervision of the directors of, the poor, or other officers appointed 'for that purpose, as they can be when provided for in the hospital or poor house of the county. I find that the same short-sighted econo my that fails to provide hospitals and alms houses for the unfortunate, prevaiis in the construction and management of the loris- 1 one of these counties. It is in the cells. or ' these miserable hovels that the insane are confined. There being no other place pro- vided fer them, they are handed over to the care of the county jailor, who, from want of experience, cannot give them proper at tention and the treatment they require, which adds to the sufferings caused by their disease the punishment inflicted upon' the vilest criminal confined within its gloomy precincts. The evils resulting from such a system, I know fkom personal observation, are great, and a remedy should be applied. I believe that nothing short of legislative enactment will ever reach them or effect reform. I would-therefore respectfully call the at tention of your 'I Excellency, and through you that of the State Legialature, to the great necessitythat exists for enacting laws to remedy these evils, by compelling these counties to provide comfortable places for their insane and iMbecile poor. • In some of the counties visited during the year I found that a lively interest had been tawakened upon the subject of prison con struction and prison diseipline. I have given your Excellency a brief ac count of my labors, during the past year, with a short description or some - of the prisons now in course of ,erection. In all herein alluded to I have found great im proveraent over those built in former years, showing that in the matter of prison con struction and prison discipline we are stead ily advancing. .Notwithstanding all that lies been done, there remains much to do; many of the most wealthy and populous counties of the State have no fit place to hold prisoners con victed of serious offences, or where the dis cipline so necessary for the government of a prism?, and the improvement and reform or the inmates can be maintained. It seems necessary that additional power or authority should be conferred, in order to enable an •inspector to obtain the infor mation desired or answers to the interroga- tions propounded te the Officers of these in stitutions; withodt it, all the facts necessary to be known cannot be reached. Tun city of. Providence was visited on Thursday by one of themost disastrous con flagrations that ever occurred in Rhode Is land. The fire originated in 'the mailing room of the .

It was impossible for them to escape by the staircase, and one by one they were lowered to the ground by outside chains belonging to the hoistway. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, althoturh some suffered from partial suffoca tion.
