The Chicago Times on tbe Adnilu- fstratiou. ' Wit AT TUB EDITOR SAW AT WASHINGTON. Trmtr'thr! Chicago Times, (Donglaa OrgaiiyHarch 17. S.ime ten d,tiys ago we Avert! down to Wash ington—lo see'old friends' to talk over poli lies, and witness, as far as. ao outsider could rio so, the extraordinary position of affairs there at present. We staid in tbe great city live days, arid iri that brief period we saw enough jo satisfy us that personal and politi cal depravity never had" such a harvest as -thev are now reaping in the federal city. Offices are bought just as openly as a butcher buvs the beef intended for his custo mers. Office brokers have the tun of the senate ante-chamber, of the several depart ments and trio executive mansion; and the actual aum of money to be paid for an office is as publicly named by these brokers and their clients, as tbe prices of dry .goods are named between a dealer in those articles and bts "customers. Corruption stalks through city not in disguise, but with unblushing ■frontand exalted mien; the lime for vice to Beek dark lanes and private places for its op erations is gone by, and now men are bought and sold, votes purchased, and all the detesl able traffic in the hopes, weaknesses and sor rows of human nature are carried on without shame. The cause of this great change is to all. Fraud rules the cabinet and the senate. Fraud—deep, malicious, infamous fraud upon the people of the union, upon Kansas, and especially upon ihe democratic parly —is set up ns an object of worship. The Lecomplon fraud has become another molten calf, and ihose who have set it up for worship have “corrupted themselves.” This is (he god which is worshipped at Washing. lon. To secure an homage lo ii, all men who hold office are obliged lo swear that it is the true god; all men who hold office are taxed heavily of their monthly earnings 10 raise a fund to be sent forth into the West to corrupt other men ; all men holding office who do not bow down and worship ii are hurled~from their places, and olher persons are chosen who, having neilher personal hon esty nor polilical principle, are willing lo do aiiy act which will obtain a reward in money. In half, a dozen rooms in the Capitol as many “investigating committees” hold their daily ‘ sessions. These comminees, are en deavoring lb bring to light the crimes of the days gone by, and yet speculauon and fraud march through the halls of ihe Capitol, are lo be found in many of the department, and boast of their daily operations. Inve-iign 'lion is blind to ihe enoim’nies of the present —it is 100 busy hunting old robberies to be stow either time or atlemionjio the crimes be fore its face. Ouf i( has (hat even in (he lowest depths of hell there is a lower still—so in Washington, rascality has its favorite haunts. Da you wish (o see the man who in cold blnod shot down his neighbor, his countryman, without any other provocation than to gratify pariy hatred and the brutal propensities en gendered by habits of drunkenness? Do you wish to see a gang of men of every age from twenty-five to fifty, old in the mean er habits of border life, and alt mean tn the most shameless deeds of depravity ? Do you wish to see men who boast of cold blooded murders, of thieving forays, of fraudulent elections, of forged official papers, of bloated faces and frames worn down by all excesses cjramon among men lost to self-respect and common decency—if you wish to see these men, go to Washington and hunt up the dele gates to the Lecompton constitutional conven tion and their followers, Imagine to yourself the desperadoes, bullies and ou'.casts, even of Kansas, and your fancied picture will fall short of the real living tableaux presented by the ‘/citizens of Kansas in Washington,’* who, it is said, visited the president a few days ago, and assured him of the strong feeling of ad -miration they entertained for him. One-hall of ihese cm throats and ballot box staffers are awaiting their commissions as officers of the general government. Land offices, Indian agencies, mail agencies, &c., are to be beslowed upon these outcasts as soon as the democratic pany at ihe north shall be defeated in every stale in which Lecompton fraud shall be endorsed. Lecompton, in all its hideous deformity, overshadows all things at Washington. A defaulter was recently summoned there, and the alternative was offered him, five years in the penitentiary, under the sub-treasurj) law, for taking public money, or an office and a declaration in behalf of Lecompton. He chose ihe office; but what a commentary up. on Lecomptonism, when to support th-u mea sure is considered an offset in degradation to an imprisonment of five years in the peniten tiary ! " The same determined feeling to make all men and all things—public interest and pub lic right included—to submit to Lecompton ism, pervades all places. The greatest men at Washington are some thirty members ol Congress, whose sole aim is the dissolution of the Union; they are frantic with delight. The disruption of the democratic party north will promote the designs of such men as these. The Lecompton measure is such a gross violation of all the pledges made in the north during the presidential canvass, that the dtsunionists judge rightly in supposing that no man at the north who sustains it can hope lobe sustained. And on the other hand, they agree that if the Lecompton men can muster streng'h enough to defeat the democ racy, that then republicanism will possess Ihe whole north. Such a result they hope to achieve by the passage of the Lecompton measure. Noble Act by a Boy.—The Harrisburg Gerald ?ays: A boy recently discovered a large tree lying across the track of »he Penn sylvania Railroad* between Lockpori and New Florence, and knowing that a passen ger train would soon arive, hoisted his hand kerchief upon a stick, and waited the approach of the train. The engineer stooped, and when the..passengers saw the great danger from which they had escaped, they were "Wfed with gratitude, and raised a purse for "him, which be refused to take, saying that he “only wanted to save them from gelling faun.” Dr. Pollock-, brother of the Ex-Governor was thrown out of his buggy, at Williams port, on’the llih inst., and bad his collar bone bioken.

An old Citizen Gone. —Hon. Jonah Brewster, one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, died at his residence, about a mile from this village, Sunday night. Mr. Brewster had lived nearly half a score beyond man's allotted time, and, we believe, enjoyed very good health up to a few weeks since when he was prostrated by an attack of rheumatism which resulted filially. Judge Brewster was several times a member of the Legislature of this Stale. lie was likewise a Slate Senator from the Susquehanna district, and more recently, an Associate Judge of this county. The funeral takers place 10-duy. The first No. iif the Wellsboro Weekly Democrai i R. Jenkins, Publisher, C, G. Williams, Editor, ap peared last week. It is neatly printed and promis es to cordially support the Administration of James Buchanan and its infamous Kansas policy. We therefore must apologize for announcing, it some two weeks since, as a Doughs paper. Our inform ation came from one supposed to be “in the ring.'* The editor evidently thinks no belter of Douglas than we do, and deserves great credit for assuming an unequivocal position. We wish the firm all pc cuniary success, but confusion to your politics! Don’t believe the soil and climate of Tioga will grow such politics. Too far North, friends. The Dogs. There arc two hundred too many in this blessed town. Up street—dogs. Down street —dogs. On the back streets—dogs In the cross streets—dogs. On every duor-slep—dogs. Dogs on every store sloop—nobody owns them. Red dogs, while, black, spotted and brindle dogs. Newfound, land dogs, terrier, spaniel, pointer, lap and bull dogs. P. S.—And cur dogs. Dogs with long tails, short tails, bushy tails and no tails. Dogs everywhere except strait up. Suppose they should all bark at once some night I Who wouldn’t think that 110 in the shade had broke loose. They how) under oar sanctum window o’ nights.'’ They tree some be nighted cow in our neighbor’s woodpile every night: and then they worry her until she bellows in mortal fear. Then they move oft to serenade some other unfortunate individual. From Mr. A. down to Mr. X., all assure us that there are too many dogs. We know that; but what the dogs shall wc do about it? The Future of Republicanism. If the Republican parly fail to establish itself in a prouder position in the history of the countrytban any considerable party has won and kept since the days of Washington, the fault will Ho with itself. Its enemies have left it but one course to pursue— that is to say, they have arrayed themselves on the side of the oppressor; they have declared that lib erty and slavery are joint heirs of the inheritance bequeathed to posterity mure than eighty years ago ; they have put away the traditions of the Fathers of {he Republic concerning the Rights of Man, and hhve blotted the record with infamous interpolations • they have pul the interest of a class above and be fore the good of the working-men of this land ; they dragged the Constitution down to the office of a Slavery-supporting instrument; they have subsid ized the Federal Judiciary und wrung frotn it the declaration that the accidents of life work a forfeit ure of the rights and immunities of citizenship, and that Slavery exists everywhere it is not interdicted by positive law. All this has the parly in power done, and more; bat these acts serve to show the breadth and depth of the gulf which the miscalled democratic parly has placed between the Govern meat and the people. But the Republican parly of Pennsylvania has not yet organized and disciplined its forces properly to undertake the overthrow of an enemy entrenched behind the immense patronage ot a thoroughly de* moralized Administration. Its leaders have all along sought to win by stratagem what must be gained, it ever gained, by skilltul and deliberate at tack—by a regular siege. Surprise-parlies, combi nations of antagonistic elements christened. “ fu sions,*' and ill digested elcventli-hour plans—these cannot pioneer the way to permanent victory in the Allure I Such is not the policy of men who strike for the liberties of a continent! Such dallying in decision would shipwreck the fortunes of the best disciplined force in the world. Let ua learn wisdom from the past successes of oar enemies; even Peter the Great learned the art of war from bis deadly foe. Charles of Sweden.— The parly in power has heretofore triumphed more in virtue of the boldness and pertinacity of its de mands, the squareness of iU positions and the au dacity of ils advocacy of its measures, than of any 'inherent strength in the hearts of the people.. As Republican*, *Vc may profit by the example whilq THE TIOGA GOUNTY AGITATOR. we substitute unequivocally of position tor tfie bra. zen boldness of the enemy, boldness and thorough ness'ia the advocacy of our measures fur hls audac lly and insolence, and an uncompromising hostility to Ihe'Oligarchy in place ol bisshafucless sußservi ency,—We -must do-these lhmgs, or- perish, as -an organized parly in Pennsylvania, and deservedly,, too. Ab a party, weJiave never deserved anything but defeat. We have met the insolent M yea, yea, nay, nay,” of thedoagbfuced democracy and cotton Nalivism with a vacillating »* maybe, perchance,” on every occasion. We slaughtered Passmore Will, iemson upon the altar of defunct- Whiggery and slde.door Nativism ; and in sacrificing him, we gave the cause we all professlo love a cruel, underhanded slab. The cause has never recovered from that cruel wounding in the house of its friends. It will requite years of stem penance to wipe that slain from our hands. Personally, we protested against that 111-advised sacrifice, and fought it, tooth and nail, to the very lost. But what Is one voice ugainrl ten thousand ? But though it brought against us the charge of “ unreasoning obstinacy,” that pro lest was right, and never repented of. But some men will not turn experience to any ad vantage whatsoever. They have a mania for Cum. promise, they adore incongruous Fusion; and so wedded are they to their idol that they may. very likely, propose lo cheat Death of his prey by an eleventh-hour compromise. They have no deep and abiding faith In the masses, no confidence in the conlroling influence of a position fairly and squarely taken, no confidence in anything but Compromise. If the future of Republicanism is to be molded by such men, God help this Commonwealth! But we cannot yet believe that such is to be the case. It is never 100 late to grow wise, to profit by past disas ters. Temporary success has dazzled and lured to almost ruin. The Northern Tier stands firmly up. on the true ground of opposition to the great crime of Slavery; so of the Western Tier; but the heart of the Stale, the Southern and Eastern counties— where arc they? With the Oppressor, mainly. Those counties are to be led up to the only tenable ground of opposition lo present misrule. How, and by whom ? Not by semi-annual compromises with the advocates of wrong. Not by the ever-shifting policy of timid and vacillating men. Not by irres olution; but by a stedfda l perseverance in the un qualified right. By that slraitforwardness of ac tion and that fixedness of purpose which proves, bet ter than anything else, that men are in earnest and will be heard. By the force of example, thus show, inglhut principle, and not policy, is the impelling power. The attempt to organize a party upon anli-Le compton grounds, simply, will result in disaster (o the future of the parly in this Slate. There are a thousand side issues of the Lecompton stamp in store lor the Republican parly. For every new ap plication for a Territorial organization there will be a re-cnae(ment of the Kansas tragedy. For every application for admission into (he Union there will he a reproduction of the Lecompton farce. Thus, Kansas and Lccomplon appear in their true relations to the great question of Freedom, as skirmishes on the edge of the great battle-field ; and there is but one course to be pursued by. the Republican party to meet the certain emergencies ol the future? and that course lies straitforward from a standard upon which is inscribed the only sentiment worthy of be ing the motto ol the parly of Freedom and prog, ress— “No more Slave States!’* The Three Black Crows. —Once upon a time, so the story goes, two honest fellows met in London town, and after discussing the weather, &c., one proceeded to astonish the other relative to a gentle man, who— This week, in short, as all Ihe alley knows, Taking a vomit, threw up three black crows ! Whereat the listener was exceedingly astonishedi as who would not have been.? and straitwny ascer tained the name of the relator’s informant; and having sought him out, inquired if the wonderful story were really true. To winch No. 2 replied that it doubtless was, essentially; adding— “’T was Mr. Snch-un one who told it me, \ But, by the by, ’lwaa tieo black crows t not three ! Oar hero thence went post to “ Mr. Such-an one/’ and opkcd that cosmopolitan worthy if it were real ly true U a gentleman w who lives not far from ’Change; hud lately thrown up certain and sundry black crows —two in number.

Having been referred to the gentleman to whom this strange thing happened, by Such-on-one, our hero hurried away to the residence of the victim : , “ Did you, sir, throw up one black crow ?” ‘Not I!’ to which our hero added, philosophically: “ Bless me I how people propagate a lie J “ But,” asked our hero, “ didn’t you say some, thing about crows 7 “ Black crows have been thrown up, three , /wo, one!

People need not slay away because Rumor says that somebody in Wellsboro has thrown up 30 black crows . Rumor lies—under a mistake. There is no small-pox here. Universitv at Lewisburg. —By favor of Mr. J. Dean Cooper, we have received the Catalogue of line Institution for 1857—3.

At the Democratic caucus last night, Mr. English of Indiana offered a proposition lo settle the Lecomplon difficulty and reunite the Democraiic parly, by appointing a Com mittee .consisting of and ten Ami-Lecotnpion men, lo confer and devise some plan of arrangement. Mr- Stephens assented and made a concil iatory speech. The proposition for a Com mittee was voted, and the caucus immediately adjourned in high spirits. The Democratic leaders are confident of a defection in the Ami-Lecornpton ranks. The Union to.day has several articles dis suading the Republicans from adopting Mr. Crittenden’s amendment, which every hour shows lo be ihe measure most formidable \o and most dreaded by the Administration. The hesitation among Republicans as lo the bill, supposing Mr. .Crittenden's amend ment to be engrailed, is disappearing, and every probability will be of a solid vote if this contingency occurs. The only hope which leading Lecompfonites now have is of a possible distraction in the Opposition, It is so confessed in private councils. The Kansas debaie on the Deficiency bill will proceed till Friday. If the Ami-Le coinpu’on forces are assured on Thursday of strength, they will allow the Senate bill to be taken from the Speaker’s table, out of its regular order, on Mr. Stephen’s motion. If there be ground for serious embarrassment then they will not agree. 'Mr. Harris is still feeble and prostrate. The purpose of removing him lo Mr. Doug las’s residence is relinquished. He is tempo rarily paired with Mr. Bishop of Connecticut, but will appear in the Bouse at any hazard nn a test vole, unless Mr. Cameron’s generous example should be imitated. St. Louis Slave Whipping Affair. More Barbarity, —The Si. Louis Evening News of iho 16ih inst., says.—All the citi zens of St. Louis, and most of the citizens •>f the Un led Stares, are familiar with Ihe with the case of the Peters, for cruelties practised on their slave girl Lucreiia. At the lasi term of the Criminal Court they were both convic'ed of these cruelties, and sen tenced lo a sear’s imprisonment each in the county jail, and to pay a fine of $lOOO each. An appeal was taken lo the Supreme Court, and a 1 slay uf execution granted during the pendency of said appeal. So far from this verdict and an outraged public opinion having any Influence to restrain these cruel people from faiiher barbarities, they appear to have been worse, smce lhan before. It is reported on pretty good authority, that one of the parlies boasted ihat'the cruel treat ment was practised the same as ever, but that the girl was taken into the cellar in the night limp, and such precaution taken as would deft detection. ShnHy after (he ver diet, the girl was found on the liver bank in a state of nudity, covered with fresh tirijxs and blood, and said that she had been so bar barously maltreated by her owners, thm sh«* could not endure it any longer, and had, iherefore, run away. .The girl’s manner showed that she had evidently contemplated suicide, and was about to drown herscll when discovered. The person discovering her considered it his duty to return her la her tormentors. A third chapter in this diary of hruiniiy came to light \esterday evening. About six o’clock, as Officer Gunnell was passin«j th»* residence of (he Peters’ on Sixth street, near Franklin avenue, he heard loud screams, and as of some person undergoing terrible suffer ing, and in a moment thereafter, the negro girl, Liicreth, leaped over the fence, and was caught in the officer’s arms. Her head was covered with blood, proceeding from two gashes, penetrating to ihe bone. The officer look her to the Calaboose, where her wounds were dressed by the Health Officer. Her story was, that she had been beaten by Mr. and Mrs. Peters, and that the falter struck her on the head with a loose table leg. The girl’s testimony of course could not b« taken in a Court of Justice, and it is not likely that any other can be obtained. All the circumstances, however, go to prove its truth. These brutalities have proceeded quite lona enough, and we would ask, in the name of humanity, whether the people of St, Louis are so powerless that such things must be permitted to lake place with impugmiy ? Is there no redress or protection for a helpless slave against (he inhumanity of an owner? Fatal Hoax. —A Sheffield, England, pa per, says that a gentleman in that town has received a letter from a friend in Northamp ton, containing the following :—"A singular circumstance happened at our union last week. For some misconduct the master had put a boy for punishment into the dead bouse. At ’hat time there was a corpse in the “dead ward,” in a coffin. The boy look the corpse out of thecoffin, dressed it in his own clothes, propped it up against the wall, and then him self got into the coffin lay down, and cov. ered himself over. In the course of a short lime the master came, looked in at the door, and saw, as he thought, a sulky lad standing against the wall. ‘Now’ said the master ‘do you want any supper?’ There was no an swer. The question was repealed with the snipe result. The hoy looked out frorp the coffin and said ‘if he won’t have any [ will.’ The master fled under terror, and received such a shock that it is said he has since died from the efiecls.” A bill preventing the intermarriage of first cousins has been passed by the Legislature of Kentucky. ©ommimCcaticmjJ, t ’• ' Por The Agitator.

Desponding. —The New Tpik Herald is afraid that Buchanan has puli his foot in it, after all. The Herald is discouraged.

The Herald draws thjk picture: “Apart from the President 'arid his cabinet, all the signs of unity and in the party have ceased to exist.

The merchant, with an askance smile, pointed us to the likeness adorning the note. We looked, and that it was the phiz of James Buchanan. We; therefore, advise banking institutions which are, just starling, to bewara of the “face” they pul on their notes ; and parties, larly, if they wish their circulation to extend among the honest people of the Keystone Slate, to eschew the double-face of the Presi. dent of the United States.— Lebanon Cour. Buried Alive —A Distressing Case,— A , letter dated Holland, Erie county, P a ., March 15, says: “A very afflictive dispensation of Provi dence has taken place within twenty miles of this place. A Presbyterian minister named Reed was going to attend a meeting of the presbytery. He slopped over night tn;j another - minister at a private house. Mt. Reed was taken with a fit in the night and it was supposed he had died. The other minister being in a hurry to get to the meet ing in season had him buried- the next day. On his return from meeting he left word at Oxford that their minister was dead and bu ried. His friends went immediately to get his remains and bring them to Oxford, when to their great sorrow they discovered that ho Had been buried alive. The cover of the coffin was split, and his shroud was com pletely torn off and he turned nearly on h is face. He was a bachelor, and a very wort thy man. His dreadful death is -much Is. mented. The intensity of the religious excitement seems to increase rather than diminish throughout the country. In Trenton, N. J., 1,700 have been added to the Methodist Churches In Rockaway, L. 1.. 300 fi.her. men have been converted. In New Bedford, Mass., the converts number 600. hr Mercer, Pa., every adult has joined the church. In New York, Barton’s old theatre baa been opened for a daily prayer meeting, and is thronged as well as the churches. In Phils delphia the excitement is equally as perrj. sive. -D-lE-P In Farmington, March 13, infant son of Recites T. and Mary Ann Hall.
