The Election.
The STAR being published cn Wednesday
morning consequently we are unable lo
give any election news save that of Bloom
township and a few adjoining districts.—
The Democratic vote in this (Bloom) town
ship considerably exceeded our expecta
tions. The Republicans exercised every
influence to carry the day, and with the
aid of a few Bogus Democrats they received
a small majority on part ol their ticket. The
excitement did not rage quite as high as on
some former elections. All passed off re
markably quiet, although a considerable
amount of electioneering was done. The
full vote was not polled in Bloom, and it is
altogether likely to hare been the case
throughout the county. Three hundred and
nine votes were polled here ; seventy-three
less than at last fall's election. In another
column will be seen a lew returns.
GEN. WII.I.IAM WALKER, the often failed
and ever persevering filibuster chief, has
again set sail with a small force to win a
kingdom or a halter. His motto seems to
be—"the world's my oyster, which I with
sword will open." The " grey-eyed man
destiny" is determined not to let his sword
rust in dull-inaction while there is a weak
Central American State to conquer, and
food for powder to be picked up from the
ragamuffin cut-throats of the large cities.—
From all accounts this expedition is not
very formidable in numbers, and appears
to excite little alarm. Ihe President has
determined that it shall be stopped, as pre
vious expeditions have been. But after ac
complishing this first object, it is worth
while for the Administration to inquire how
it always happens that the filibusters man
age to elude the vigilence of the custom
house officers and the revenue cutlers.—
The matter is worthy of attention, if only as
a curious investigation.
STATE FAIR AND COLUMBIA COUNTY HUG
OIKS—Muj. William Sloan Son, of Blooms
burg, Columbia County, received the FIRST
PREMIUM and the DIPLOMA on fancy buggies
at the late Slate Fair held at Philadelphia.
A! this Fair wagons could be seen from all
parts of the State, and the very best kind.
No common vehicles were brought to this
Fair for inspec.i in as to their good and bad
qualities', consequently it woidd require an
extraordinary 1 one to receive sisbh a unrj: of
praise as did the wagon from this county.
SLOAN & SON are the most extensive manu
facturers and dealers in the northern part
of this Slate, and second to none in getting
up a fancy buggy. They have been enga
ged in this business quite a respectable
number of years, and with their large ex
perience and extraordinary mechanical skill
have surpassed all the other manufacturers
in the State of Pennsylvania in making
buggies. It would be no more than just to
state, that wagons executed by this firm
will be found substantially us well as hand
somely made. They use no defective mate
rial, and employ the best mechanical aid
the country affords. Call and examine their
slock.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —On last Monday a
young man by tke name ot JACOB GIRTON,
ot this place, had one of his legs cut off.
just below the knee, by the coal train on the
Lackawanna & Blootnsburg Railroad He
was attempting to get upon the moving
train, when he missed his step with his leg
ticorss the track. The accident happened
Jit the Bloom Station on the arrival of the
one o'clock coal train. Drs. Ramsey and
McKelvy were called in and performed the
operation ot amputation which he bore
manfully. Me is doing as well as can be
expected under the circumstances. This is
nnolher warning for people to be careful
when about railroad cars while in motion,
'litis is the second cr third accident of a
similar nature within a short time in this
neighborhood. Persons cannot be too cau
tious in this respect.
few Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, as a citi
zen, is one of the best of men. His social
and conversational qualifications are unsur
passed. An anecdote is told of him which
is both characteristic and good. When he
was United States Senator at Washington,
he was one of a parly of distinguished
persons, among whom were the English,
French and Austrian Ministers. Speaking
of qualifications for office, one of them
asked Mr. Dickinson if he had ever tried to
trace his ancestors' coat of arms. He repli
ed by saying that he had made the effort a
number of limes, and that he had found
his ancestors all of them had strong arms,
bul (he moil of them had no coalt —Elmira Ga
zelle.
ROBBER?. —The tailoring establishment of
Mr. William Morgan was broken in, on
last Wednesday night, and robbed of vari
ous articles ol clothing—fine dress coats,
pants, vests, and ready-made shirts, gloves
collars, slocks, &c., to the amount of about
S2OO. The robbers also entered the tin
shop of Mr. Unger, in the same night, car
rying off several articles of tinware and a
diamond glass cutler. At Mr. Morgan's
shop they left an old newly patched horse
blanket, which may lead to the discovery ol
the scoundrels.— Danville Democrat.

IN Wloora township the Democratic Slate
Ticket was beaten by nineteen and sixteen
votes ; Assembly, Jack|pn and Masters ran
tie, leaving Oakes some twenty-two behind,
and MoUser thirty-three ; District Attorney,
the Volunteer candidate, C. M. Blaker, had
a majority over the Democratic nominee,
K. H. Little, of fitiy-eighl; Treasurer, John
A. Funston, Democrat, received fifteen
votes of a majority over Ellwood Hughes,
Republican; Commissioner, John Staley,
Republican, ran ahead of J. R. Patton, Dem
ocrat, some sixty six voles, but not as much
as was anticipated by some of the hoi heads ;
Auditor, George M. Howell, Democrat, ran
behind his competitor, James Barton, twen
ty voles. Thus you see the majorities are
not large. Some less than last election.
In Fishingcreek township the Democratic
ticket has a snug majority. The State ticket
has increased majotitiea over former elec
tions.
Ml. Pleasant township went Republican
with a few exceptions. The State ticket
was saved by a small majority. Little and
Howell, one majority. The balance of the
ticket is lost, gone Republican.
Greenwood twp., the Democratic ticket
done as well as we had expected. Jackson,
Dem., ran lie with Masters, Rep., and
Oakes, Dem , a little behind, Mottser, Vol..
still further. District Attorney, Little beat
Blaker three voles; Commissioner, Slaley's
majority over Patton, fifty-four. The bal
ance of the ticket went completely Repub
lican. This is a strong Republican District.
Mr. Mower had 13 votes.
In Scott, the Democratic State ticket lost
by thirty-one votes; Oakes and Mouser
were tie; Jackson one vote behind Masters.
This is doing pretty good for the Democrats
in a strong Republican township. The
Democratic nominee for Treasurer fell be
hind the Republican twenty votes, only;
Staley beat Patton thirty-six votes for Com
missioner; Little's majority over Blaker,
Vol., for District Attorney, is twenty-eight
This much for Scott township
Hemlock, the Democratic State ticket re
ceived fifty five votes of a majority ; Dem
ocratic nominees for Assembly received
about the usual majority, considering the
turn out. Staley had 54 voles for Commis
sioner, taking that from the whole vote
polled—l4l—leaves a majority of eighty
seven for Patton, Democratic nominee.
NEW MODE OK WATERING STREETS.—A
curious experiment of watering public
promenades is being tried at Lyons, and
hitherto with success. A chemist of the
city accidentally spilling some hydrochlo
ric acid on a terrace, found the spot harden
ed and maintained in a state of permanent
moisture. This induced him to think it
might be applied to macadamized roads
with the view of allavir.g the dust. Experi
ments have resulted in a carriage-way be
ing now several months Iree from dust.—
During the hottest part of the day the
ground, although dry and gravelly, has the
apgearauce of being recently damped . At
evening the moisture- becomes,titore and
more perceptible F.very morning the
ground is sliffer and more comfortable to
walk on. This acid in fact decomposes
the gravel or stone, and forms one or sever
al deliquescent salts, which therefore at
tract the moislu'e of the air. The only
question is whether roads thus damped will
endure under such a process as long us they
ought.— London Paper.
CLINTON COUNTY —Camp Brady, that was
recently held near Lock Haven, was a de
cided success. There were thirteen finely
equipped companies and (on* brass bands
on the ground, the whole under t]ie com
mand of Major Gen. Jackson, who, wilh
his fine stall and all the officers of the bri
gade, were on duty the whole week. Gen.
Geo. Keiiu, ol Berks county, Gen. Wolf, of
Centre, accompanied by aids, and Col
Crane, of Lycoming, and other officers from
a distance, were present a portion of the
lime. We also noticed the old hero volun
teer Capt. W. P. Brady, on the ground the
entire week. The veteran captain was
hospitably entertained during his slay, and
cordially welcomed by officer and private
wherever be went.
We know of no unpleasant occurrence
that took place during the entire week.—
Strict discipline was enforced throughout,
and the camp was kept in pretty constant
drill by the officers in command The field
and company tnanouvres were performed
in a manner highly creditable to officers
and privates. The weather was fine wilh
the exception of one evening and part of
the following night. The attendance of
spectators was quite large all the week,
and especially on Wednesday and Thurs
day. It was the finest encampment, as
well as the beet military display, we have
ever had the pleasure of seeing — Lock Ha

The Bebouod from California.
• Horace Greely went out to California, as
is now shrewdly suspected, to arrange mat
ters for the election in that Siale. He got
there, ai any rate, just in the nick of time—
made speeches—tried to patch up a coali
tion between the Black Republicans and
the malcontents ol all other parties, against
the Democrats—and to some extent suc
ceeded. "flie gamblers in politics did tip
the thing as well as they could, but they
inade a miserable miscalculation. Instead
of beating the Democracy in this free State,
the rebound is tremendous. The whole
coalition, to use a homely phrase, have
been whipped clean out of their boots
Our warrant for this assertion is a dispatch
from Senator Gwin to President Buchanan,
sent to Washington yesterday by a gentle
man who was the bearer of it overland,
which is to this effect : The majority of
the Democracy in California will be twenty
thousand over the combined Opposition.—
The ticket for Governor has a majority in
every county in the State, except Sail Fran
cisco, which is doubtful. The Democrats
elect every member of both branches of
the Legislature, and Scott and Burch are
elected to Congress by large majorities.—
This is conclusive. It comes from a free
and is indicative of the decline of
Black Republicanism everywhere.
Senator Gwin left San Francisco immedi
ately after the election, or in the first steam
er thereafter. No challenge had passed be
tween him and Senator Broderick, as we
learn by a gentleman who came through
as a passenger in the overland mail coach.
A report of this kind reached js in the Cali
fornia papers, but it was not correct. But
it is true that, on the day prior to the de
parture of the mail, on the 6th ult., Sena
tor lfroderick was challenged to fight a
panel by'chief Justice Terry, of the supreme
court of California, and a meeting was in
evitable. It will be recollected that Broder
ick was challenged to a hostile meeting by
Mr. Perley, and that the Senator, who was
formerly conspicuous in New York city in
a different capacity, refused to accept the
missive, on the ground that the challenge
was not the equal of a United Stales Sena
tor ! This controversy grew out of some re
flections made by Seualor Broderick against
Judge Terry, and as Mr. Perley was not
in office or high enough in office to secure
satisfaction from Senator Broderick, it took
a chief justice of the supreme court of Cali
fornia to extort from him a meeting. This
is a nice distinction, which has only recent
ly obtained, and it may be useful in other
similor exigencies. Judge Terry is said to
be a good shot with a pistol, but for this
reason, probably, this weapon will not be
selected.
The report from San Francisco is, that
ihe meeting between the two Senators,
Gwin and Broderick, is adjourned to Wash
ington city, but no challenge has passed.—

PRUGRESS IMPOSSIBLE.
. * THE GOAL BEACHED AT A BOUND F
We call this the age of progress. It is so.
But in some departments of science discov
eries have been made, and practical sys
tems introduced, which leave nothing to
be desired in the way of improvement, and
I which, in fact, preclude progress by giving
lus perlection at the outset. For example,
when Professor HOLI.OWAV, some twenty
five years ago, gave to the world his ines
timable remedies, he seems to have left
nothing even for himself to achieve, in the
treatment of human maladies. The pro
gress of the demand for his Pills and Oint
ment has, indeed, been unparalelled in the
history ol medicine ; but he has found no
reason to alter a single ingredient or vary a
proportion. We therefore class the sover
eign antidotes for external and internal drs •
eases with which that distinguished medi
cal reformer has blessed the world, among
the inventions which are perfeoted at their
birth.
Our method of arriving at a correct appre
ciation ol the respective merits of opposing
systems, is by comparison. Now, we have
seen a great deal ol what is called regular
practice, and do not hesitate to say that jt
tails more frequently than it succeeds. This
is not the case with Holloway's Pills and
Ointment. In many instances—some of
which should be specified if space permit
ted—we have seen these remedies effect
complete and permanent cures, when emi
nent members of the laculty had exhausted
their rtptrlovu without finding anything
that would even alleviate the agonies of their
patients Testimony confirmatory ot our
own observations on the subject is continu
ally pouring in Irom all parts of the Union,
and we cannot refuse credence alike to our
| own common senses, the common sense of
the public, and the almost universal opin
ion of our brethren of the press
The case as between the Faculty and Pro
fessor Holloway seems to stand thus : The
faculty have the prestige of antiquity, au
thority and usage.
Holloway, on the other hand, is not a
man ol mouldy maxims. Small respect has
he for Galen and gammon. He cileß no
authorities, save living witnesses and con
temporary facts. A few pages suffice to
develope his system and embrace his sim
ple directions. He denounces mercury and
all corrosive poisons, and does not believe
that life can be saved by draining its foun
tains. Above all, he furnishes the whole
civilized, and no small portion of the semi
barbarian and savage world, with a Pill
and an Ointment, which appear to accom
plish all that the Faculty aim at, but in five
cuserout ol six fail to effect. For diseases
of the stomach, the liver, the bowels and
kidneys, as well aB for ordinary ptrlmonary
affections, the Pills are absolute specifics ;
and the sufferer from external disorders or
injuries may recover under the operation of
the Ointment, when nothing else will save
him .— "Notlkren Express."

Sir John Franklin—Tidings by the Steamer
Fox.
The mystery which hung so long over the
fate of Sir John Franklin has at last been
solved, thanks to the devotion and perse
verance of h's noble wife. The screw
steamer Fox, which she fitted out, has re
turned toKnelnnd. Her Commander, Cap
with him a dupli
cate record, the particulars of
the ill-starred expedition, down to the aban
meut ol the famous vessels, the Erebus and
Terror, in April, 1848, by their officers and
crew, and the departure of the party, 105
in number, to the Great Fish river. Sir John
Franklin's expedition, consisting of the Er
ebus and Terror, with 138 officers and men,
sailed from Sheerness. May the 26th, 1845.
On the 261h of June, 1845, the expedition
was seen in Baffin's Bay. June the 11th,
1847, Sir John Franklin died, and on the
22d of April, 1848, the Erebus and Terror
were deserted in Victoria Straits, Ihiny-three
of the officers and men having died up to
that time.
If the story related by the Esquimaux to
Dr. Kae can be considered reliable, some of
the survivors ol the party were alive two
years afterwards, in Spring, 1850. Dr. Kae
slated in his communication to the Adtniral
ty iliflt -.MfTpj jyqiMuianv on the North Shore
of King Wiliiam'sLand, which is a large
island, had met, in the spring of 1850, forty
white men traveling southward over the ice,
and dragging a boat with them. The men
then were in a destitute and pitiable condi
tion, and later in the season the bodies of
Borne thirty-five were discovered on the
continent and an adjacent island, and Dr
Rae brought home memorials from the Bpot
which fully identified the parly with the ex
pedition.
The history ol the expedition sent in
search of Sir John Franklin will ever remain
one of absorbing interest. In 1848, no news
having been received of Franklin, the En
glish Government fitted out three vessals to
proceed to the Arctic seas in search of the
missing explorer. In 1849, after a protrac
ted and dangerous but useless search, the
last vessel ot the expedition returned. Du
ring the nsMtlii qturiod, a land party under
Sir John Richardson, and another sea expe
dition under the veteran Arctic explorer Sir
James Ross, were equally unsuccessful.—
The British Government then oflered a mu
nificent sum, amounting to one hundred
thousand dollars, to any private expedition
that should afiord efficient aid to Sir John
Franklin. In 1860 no less than eight expe
ditions were fitted out, Sir James Ross again
taking the command of one of thera. Lady
Franklir. also, in that year, fitted out the
expedition in the vessel that bore her name,
and also assisted largely in despatching
another expedition in the schooner Prince
Albert. Mr. Henry Grinnell's expedition
also started in the same year, and there
were eleven different vessels at the same
time searching the Arctic 6easfor tidings of
the lost. The result of all these numerous
expeduipns were comparatively small.—
The of ftree men belonging to the
Erebus and Terror were discovered, but no
documents that gave any traces as to the
whereabouts of the missing men. In 1853
Dr. Kane started on his famous explorations
preceded by bir Edward Belcher, with five
ships. Although this latter expedition did
not find anything ol Sir John Franklin, they
succeeded in rescuing Captain McClure,
who, with his ship's company, had been
bound up by ice for three years.
Rear Admiral Sir John Franklin was a
native of Spilsby, in Lincolnshire Sprung
from a line of freeholders, or "Franklins,"
his father inherited a small family estate,
which was so deeply mortgaged that it was
found necessary to sell it; but by his suc
cess in commercial pursuits,he was enabled
to maintain and educate a family of twelve
children, of whom only one died in infancy.
He had four sons, who all distinguished
themselTAs, unaided by patronage or con
nections.
John, the youngest, was destined for tha
church of his father, but while at school he
employed once a holiday in walking with a
companion to the sea, which he had never
before seen. His imagination was so pow
erfully impressed on this occasion by the
grandeur of the ocean scenery that it deter
mined him to become a sailor.
In 1800 he entered as a midshipman on
the Polyphemus. On the 2d of April, 1801,
he assisted at the battle of Copenhagen. At
the grand battle of Trafalgar he acted as a
signal midshipman on board the evgr-mem
orable Bellerophon. At the battle of New
Orleans he was also present, and wus woun
ded on this occasion. In 1818 he made his
first exploring expedition as commander of
the Tent, the object of which was to attempt
the paneago to India by the Polar Sea, in
which he tailed. In 1819 he commanded
an expedition to the coasts of America,
east of the Copper river, and furnished val
uable geographical information. In 1825
he undertook an overland expedition to the
Arctic seas, from which he returned byway
of New York to England in 1827. In the
following year he married Jane Griffin, the
present Lady Franklin, his second wife.—
In 1830 he was, during the Greek war, in
the Mediterranean, and in 1836 he became
Governor of Van Dieman's Land. In 1845
he entered upon the fatal Arctic expedition.
He was agod sixty-one years and three
months when he died, on the 11th of June,
1847.
A SECOND JOSEPH.— The editor of the
Elkhart Review winds up an account of his
visit to the Chicago Fair with the following:
evening, wq. repared tq the
house of.our junior's friend, we were boun
tifully supplied with the good things of this
world, bsides receiving a kind invitation to
remain over night, provided we were con
tent to share a bed with the domestic, (a
blooming lass,) but we modestly declined
the generous offer and returned home with
a grumbling, crusty crowd of passengers."
A lass I A lass! for the short comings of
humanity. Does he suppose for a moment
that any one believes that story ?

riug-l'glyism and the Baltimore Courts.
The shameless course of Judge STUMP, of
the Ciimnel Court of Baltimore, with refer*
ence to the Express riot cases, in exciting
the condemnation of even that portion of
the press most lenient with reference to the
constant outrages of the Plug-'Jgly organi
zation. The Clipper says the "sentence
seemed to take the Bar and spectators en
tirely by surprise, and none more so than
iho prisoners themselves." The Patriot
regards "the administration of criminal jus
tice as in abeyance during the balance of
Judge STUMP'S term." We have another
case illustrating the administration of jus
tice in Baltimore. One day last week a ju
ry empanelled to try the case of The State
agt. Schaifer, case of great impor
tance, returned a sealed verdict of "guilty,"
which had been duly agreed upon the pre
vious evening, as was shown by the signa
tures of all the members of the panel ap
pended to it. The jury was, however, poll
ed at the request of the prisoner's counsel,
whereupon five of those who had found
the traverser "guilty" overnight, declared
him "not guilty" in the morning. The
foreman stated that the verdict had been
concluded upon without a dissenting voice,
and the change of opinion is openly charg
ed to improper influences after they had
separated. What is more remarkable, Judge
STUMP dismissed the jury without a remark
upon its proceedings.
