Kvexino Scrmon : The future State, G. W. MARRIOTT, D. D., Taster. OIIITI'ART. On Monday morning last, 3d instant, Drt Sydenham Walton, after a brief but piinfu illness, breathed his last, at his residence, in this borough. In July, 1871, he had a light Ftrokc of palsy of his right !ide, from which he partially recovered. His last severe attack commenced about six days previous to his death, and manifested itself by paralizing at times, more or less, his respiratory muscles which made it impossible to inhale sufficient air to support life. The cansc of which was ascribed to a softening of the brain, or water in the chest. But he retained his een?C8 to the last, and did, to all appearances, an easy death He was strongly impressed from the first that he could not recover, and seemed willing to comply with th ire:wl cumuous, admonishing his-family and friends to prepare for the home beyond the td. He was born April 13tl 1812, and was therefore at Ids death 60 years. 1 month and 20 days old. He is a descendant of a branch of the George Walton family, of Declaration of Independence fame; and wa the eldest son ofihelate Doctor William D, Walton, one of the early settlers of this place and who had six sons born unto him, four of whom adopted the profession of their father, The subject of this sketch, was graduated at the Pennsylvania Medical University on the 23th of March, 1S33, and lias been in active practice of his profession in this town and vicinity from that time until he was stricken down by his last illness, reaching near on to JO years. His fees, almost invariably low, will probably reach $100,000, and doubtless nearly, or quite f 10,000 uf tLis sum was given to the poor, who were absolutely unable, or cm Id illy afford to pay for medical attendance. 3ut to these lie as frevly gave his service as he did to those fully able to pay. And surely this is no small charity ; but his charity did not end here, as many of the worthy and struggling poor can attest, and many of these wilt doubtless ascribe their now comparative independence to his disinterested counsel andj assistance. Thus to do, was his pleasure. Hut the unworthy alo received a share of his kind ness and as5itance, and for whom he was often compelled to bleed freely. The Doctor attained to a merited populari ty in his profession, and many are his patrons who will regard hie death as their personal loss. As husband and father, he was gentle and in dulgent; and to the sorely bereaved family we give our warmest .svmpatiiv. Jie wa a most worthy citizen, and kind neighbor and we ri-k nothing in saying, that no man could be so much missed from this community as will be I)octor Sydenham Walton, for year to come. For he was not only with us. but was of us, and partook of the spirit more (r less, of ever praiseworthy object among us No enterprise designed for the improvement of town, county, state or nation,, failed to excite his warmest symjathies. .As to religion, he was born into the Society of Friends, and was connected with the Ilicksitc branch of that Society. He was a warm admirer of his Church, and much respected by it. The Doc tor's remains were interred in the burying ground belonging to the Hicksite Friends, yesterday afternoon in the presence of an extcn nive family circle, and a large concourse of nympalhizing friends. In politics, the Doctor was at first a Whig, than a warm Republican, ever with strong abolition sympathies. And many a weary pilgrim to wards the North Star, by way of .the "under ground railroad," in pursuit of that freedom which inspires the human breast, can attest to the never failing assistance and kindness received at his hands, and who, did they know that Time had cut down their friend, would breathe a prayer for peace to his ashes, and wreathe Lis memory with flowers of sweet per fume. lie did it unto the least. Did he not also unto the Greatest? What response does Providence make through the late history of our country? Did He not say, "Let them all go free"? And has His mandate not been obeyed to the very letter? Cut not so, until after hundreds and thousands of those who, otherwise, would not consent to let them go, had purished in a sea of blood. And does not the result shadow forth God's amen I to the feeble work of the aboli tionists, though done with purest charity, ? In reference to the Cincinnati moTcment, the Doctor at first espoused the side of Grant ism, but the last we heard or know him to say n the subject, was that he had always said that Horace Greely was the greatest and purest man of the time, that his unbounded know ledge of political matters, his liberality and incorruptible integrity, and wonderful capacity, made him more deserving of the Presidency than any other man of the age, and that he ought to be elected. But added, in a euppre Bed voice, accompanied with a sigh. "I'm a Grant man." But those who knew, the Doc tor, need not be told that, had he been spared, he could not have long remained a Grant man, for his heart was with Lis old political leader, and he was too true to his convictions to not follow them to their logical consequence. A convict in the Michigan Penifen tiary has just fallen heir to nearly $1 000, 000, by the death of his father.' His sentence expire? in August. General Joe Hooker is entirely helpless from paralytic prostration, and lias to be supported by his son. Jie is now on Lis way to California for the benefit of his health.

On Wednesdey evening last, about 12 o'clock, the Barn of Mr. William Wallace, near Sand Cut, was destroyed by fire to gether with all its contents, which contained about six tons of hay, a quantity of feed, straw, oats, two horses, two mules, and an ox. How the fire originated no one can tell, as Mr. W. informs us that no light had been used about the building since the first of April. The building and contents was insured in the Monroe County Mutual Fire Insurance Com pan'. On Monday last the Company sent a com mittee to assess the damages, who report a loss to the Company of $10S4. While viewing the ruins of the fire, Mr. John Edinger, one of the Committe dis covered what he thought looked like human bones, which he brought home and submit ted to Dr. Seip for examination, who pro nounced them bones out of a man's fore arm and shiu. No one in the neighborhood is missing, but it is said that on the evening preccling the fire, three men, strangers, came to the tavern at the Sand Cut. Two of them stayed there over night but one went on. This one was considerably intoxicated, and it is thought that these bones are the re mains of that man, as the barn stood on the road he was traveling, and that he went into the barn after dark to sleep and during the night perhaps lighted his pipe to smoke and thus set lire to the barn and perished along with it. I Tall who design purchasing goods call on Ruster they will make money both in quality and price of goods purchased. James Gordon Bcnoett, founder and proprietor of the New York Herald, died on Saturday last, after a severe illness Mr. Benuett was an able and successful man The career of the Herald has been a pratical illustration of his life, which will not be remembered as one of private generosity or liberal public spirit. Deceased was a native of Scotland, and came to this country when 18 years of age. He commenced his American life in Boston, where he obtained emplymeat in a book store. He spent his leisure hours in rumbling about Concord and Hunker Hill, and iu writing poetry. In 1823 Beunett went to Charleston, S. C, to work for the Courier, of that city, as a translator of South American revolu tionary news. Go to Simon Fried's for a nice fitting suit. A Swindling Dodge.

ELECTING PRESIDENTS BY POPULAR VOTE. Mr. Sumner has introducd a proposed amendmeut to the Constitution of the United States, providing for an election of the President by direct vote of the peopie. rso change is contemplated in the existing tenure of the Prcsidcntia office, but the amendment renders au incumbent of that office for ever afte lueugiuiu lor re-cicuoc. ii 13 proviueu that the qualified voters shall assemble at their usual places of election ou the first Monday in April, 1S7G, and choose by ballot the President whose term begins .March 4, 18i7; and that Congress shal prescribe the necessary rules and regula tion3 governing the e'ectiou. Such an election shall be held each fourth sue ceedingycar. Congress, at a session be ginning with the third Monday in the iMay lollowiog each such election, shal examine the returns of election, whic are to be duly certified to that body, and snail declare the result. Ihe person hav ing a a majority of the votes cist is to be declared Presideut. If there is no choice a new election shall be held on the second Tuesday of the following October, at which election votes shall be cast for one of the three persons having the highes number of votes at the preceding elee tion. Ihe omce of Vice-President i abolished, and the Senate is to choose their own presiding offi Jcr. In case o the death, removal, or disability of the President, the office shall devolve on the eldest Head of an Executive Department and if there be no Head of a Depart mcnt, then the eldest Senator shall act as Presideut. But if Congress be in session at the time a vacancy shall occur in the Presidential office, it shall meet in joint convention and elect a President, who shall serve out the remainder of the uu expired term, if it is not in session at that time, itshall be convened immediate ly for that purpose by the actiong Presi dent. Such, briefly, is the proposition which, with some modifications, has frequently Deen discussed in and out of Congress Whether it will meet with general ap proval regains to be seen. Its distinguish ed author has followed his usual custom ofopeniug a subject and leaving it to germinate, expaud, and root itself in the popular mind, or to be passed over and lett out ot sight if the people so decide Everybody will acknowledge that there is little expression of popular will in the result of party conventions as now man aged. There will be less and less if the One Term Principle is not adopted Abuses which have grown up with the lapse of years have so far defeated the original intention of the framers of the Constitution that a Presidential election. unless preceded by some great popular uprising, amounting to a revolution, is out me mere recorder of party caucus, having its springs low down in the management of a few politicians, or in the machinery of a body of office-holders It is possible that some of these per versions of the will of the people could be accomplished under the system pro posed by Mr. Sumner; but this is worth careful examination, discussion, and ear nest thought. A verdict for 830.318 was rofurned last week in the Supreme Court of. Massa. chusetts ia fuvor of the Florence Sewin- Machine Company against the Grover & Uaker, Wheeler and Wilson, and Singer companies.

A man out West undertook to play with a lion at the menagerie the other day. He says he finds it mighty hard to write with his left hand, but that he mis ses his eye more than anything else. J His nose was always a trouble to him. Mechanic's Liens : The Philadel phia J.ethjn' states that the law on this subject has recently undergone a material modification. For more than thirty years past every new building erected in the State was subjected to a lien of all per sons who furnished either labor or mate rial on their own account (excluding journeymen, apprentices and persons who worked for others,) and the hens were without priority among themselves, no matter wheu the work was done or the supplies furuished, and were subordinate to such claims only as moitgages or judg meuts which were upon the land before the ground was broken for building pur poses. The Lethjer also thiuks there is no doubt that the existence of this law has largely contributed to the very great increase of building in that city ; and the same may be said also of every other city and town in the State. This is so be cause the law afforded a tangible addi- tional security to those who might not otherwise have been willing to trust to contractors of limited means and still more limited credit. But there was an attendant evil which it has been attempt ed to eradicate. An owner might, after paying his contractor in full, be required to pay bills which the contractor had neglected to pay, and in several instances such was the case, making the building cost far more than expected or agreed The recent law seems to afford a security against this danger, by providing that where the contract for the building shall be in writing, executed and acknowleug ed before a justice or notary, in like man ncr as a deed, and recorded within fifteen days after its execution, the building shall be liable to the ciaiin of its building con tractor only, others having redress against him, and without any lien upon the build ing. This docs not apply to buildiogs erected otherwise thau by written contract The law was signed on the 3d of April, 1872, and will go into eflect at the espira tiou of sixty days from that time. More Dishonest Employees of the D. L, & W. Co. John Barlow, James K. Fenner and G. L. Smith, track bosses in the employ of the D. L. & W. Bailroad Company, were arrested on Wednesday, on a war rant issued by Alderman Fuller under the revised statute of 18G0, as follows Section 178. If any person shall fraudulently make, sign, alter, utter or publish, or be concerned in the fraudu lently making, signing, altering, or pub lishing any written instrument, other than notes, bills, checks or drafts, already mentioned, to the prejudice of another's right, with intent to defraud any per.-on or body corporate, or shall fraudlently cause or procure the same to be done, he shall be guilty of a misdeanor, and on conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and to undergo an imprisonment, by separate or solitary confinement, at labor, not exceed ing ten years. Patrick Mahon, Patrick Hughes, An thony McAndrew and James Loftu were also arrested as stool pigeons, or ac cessories to the transaction. They had a hearing before Alderman Fuller, who put them nnder SoOO bail for their appear aoce at the present or ucxt term of Court G. L. Smith, Anthony Mahon and Pat Hughes gave bail in the amount , the others failing to procure bail were com mitted. It appears that Barlow, Fenner and Smith have been in a conspiracy in mak ing out fraudulent time rolls, for a num ber of years, thus defrauding the com pany o at of thousands of dollars, the other parties named above doing the dirty work l or instance, reuner would put on his time book the name of Patrick Mahon worked so many days, at so much per day. He would then give Mahon an or der to correspond with his monthly re turns. On pay day Mahon would present ins order at the othce of the paymaster and if it corresponded with the pay roll wnicu it did every tune he got the money on it. iUahoo would theu hand the money over to Barlow & Co.. with the exception of 85 00 which he was to receive for the part he played.

About six weeks ago Loftus got hold of one of the blank orders, filled it out and forged the name ot lenner, and preseuted it to the paymasters office for payment. Mr. fetevens the assistant paymaster, being familiar with Mr. Fenner's signature, de tected it as a forgery at once, and had joitus arrested, and he was committed to jail lor his appearance at this term of i COUrt.

Congress was to have adjourned Tues day at noon, but the unfinished Ftate of the business and the prospect of a long debate in the Senate in consequence of Summer's speech rendered this impos sible. On Saturday both houses adopted a resolution extending the session uutil Monday, the 10th instant. The prospect is that this will be an exciting week at Washington, as well as in Philadelphia.
