The Laic Election.
The returns of the recent election in
Pennsylvania indicates the success of the
eutire Locofoco State ticket, by majori
ties varying from five to ten thousand
votes. The turn out was comparitively
small, and as usual, the defeat of the
Whigs is more owing to their apathy and
neglect than to the superior strength of
the oppositton.
The returns, fo far as received, are ex
tremely vague and uncertain. We gath
er from them however, that the Legisla
ture will be Democratic in both branches.
Of the new senators elected, the Loco
have gained one member in Allegheny,
one in the Cambria, Blair and Hunting
don district, besides carrying their candi
dates in Philadelphia count v, as well as
in the Bradford, Luzerne, Cumberland
and Armstrong districts. The state of
parties, if these reports are correct, will
probably stand as follows.

The Prize Fight between Yankee Sul

Boston Four Corner.-, on the lino of the
New York and Harlem Bailroad, in Put
nam count', X. Y., on Thursday after
noon. It created a great excitement in
the city, and the cars were thronged with
thousands of persons to witness the bru
tal show. Thirty-seven rounds were
fought, occupying 55 minutes, when Mor
rissey is reported to have been frightfully
bruised, his nose being flattened, and face
much disfigured. Sullivan was only
marked with a black eye. A row occur
red at this point, and Sullivan not hearing
his second call, Morrisscy was declared
tho winner, though it was claimed that
Sullivan was in reality. The stakeholder
was consequently advised not to give up
the 2000 prize. It is rumored that Sul
livan has agreed to place $4,000 addi
tional to the sum already up, and fight the
battle over again for the S-1,000, in one
day or sixty days.

A complaint for riot und assault and

Wilkcsbarre. Warrants for their arrest
have been issued, and served upon them;
and they have been brought before Judge
Gricr, of the U. S. Court on habeas cor

process of the magistrate. In the prelim

was as course and brutal as the infamous
Lord Jeffrey ever was, and as openly set
at defiance the plainest principles of the
law. He declared that if the complain

would have him indicated for perjury; and
that he would have any man indicted
who should hereafter apply to the Stale
Judges for a writ of habeas corpus in a

We give in to-day's paper unofficial
returns from a number of counties thro'
out the State, by which it will be seen
that the ''Dutcn have taken Holland'' a
gain; or that Locofocoism has again tri
umphed at the expense of Pennsylvania
interests. At the time of this writting
we have no means of knowing how signal
the victory may be: but enough is known
to settle the question, that the peculations
and frauds of the Canal Board, and the
imbecile and profligate administration of
Gov. Ligler, have oecu endorsed by the
voters of our tax-ridden Commonwealth
in a manner quite sufficient for all prac
tical purposes. The indications are that
tho vote has been light; and as usual, in
such instances, the Whigs have been the
greatest sufferers. Perhaps the friends
of reform have reserved their best ener
gies for the defeat of Bigler a year
he:ice; but to secure such a result beyond
peraurenture, a united and zealous effort
should hare been made to arrest the most
potent means of opposition success, by
wresting the Public Works and Public
Plunder from State officials.
For our own part, we have not been

This is a propitious time to inquire as

of Pennsylvania. Mere party allegiance
has become but a slender shackle. Dis
tinctive party principles have nearly van
ished; some of them have been gradually
modified, and mutually adopted by each
party; others have been rendered obso
lete by the altered conditiou of the coun
try. The object of all honest and honor
able men now should be to elevate to of
fice the most upright and able men. Iu
looking over the names of the many
worthy men of the State, I can see none
so likely to uuite all parties as Garrick
Mallory. No one, lam sure could be

Singular Marriage Custom.
A most extraordinary custom prevails
among the Vizres, a powerful tribe, oc
cupying an extensive district iu Ca
bul, among the mountains between Per
sia and India. It is, in fact, a female
prerogative that has no paralel among
any other people upon the earth, and
that reverses what we are in the habit of
considering the natural order of things
the women choose their husbands, and not
the husbands their wives. If a woman
be pleased with a man, she sends the
drummer of the camp to pin a handker
chief to his cap, with a pin which she
uses to fastend her hair. The drummer
watches his opportunity, and does this in
public, naming the woman, aud the man
is obliged to marry if ho can pay her
price to her father.
Great Cranberry Crop iu Minne

The berries are gathered both by Indians

rakes. Where they are very plenty, on
a smooth marsh, we have known one man
to rake twenty bushels in a day.
They are worth from 5 to 7 a barrel
in Minnesota. There are a great many
cranberries in Indiana and Michigan,
near Lake Michigan The regular price
there a few years ago was 50 cents a
bushel : now it is $2 to 3. So much
