FOR curu..4 comussicrarat,
WESTLEY FROST,
OF FAYETTE COUNTY
LAW BREAKER
Last week Mayor_ Weaver and his police
made a descent upon the Lottery Dealers of
the city, arresting and holding to Ind for
their appearance at Court, spine eight or ten
ot• them. They have for a long time been
law breakers with impunity, and now they are
to be called to answer to the law. No good
citizen can find fault with this, for strange to
say, there are fools enough still lett in this
world, infatuated with the vain and delusive
hope of suddenly acquiring wealth through
the means of lotteries, to render the business
profitable to the seller and injurious to the
buyer of those deceiving little slips of paper
called lottery tickets. it iy illegal to traffic
in them, and therefore the traffic should, it
possible, be stopped. The Mayor has acted
rightly enough in the premises.
In this country it is our boast that we make
our own laws ; (mt when wads, it must be
confessed that we do not always sustain them.
The force of public opinion sometimes vetoes
enactments which the legislators have placed
upon the statute books, and practically, they
remain a dead letter. No one pretends to
deny that all laws, while they are laws, should
be obeyed, yet we daily see them broken with
impunity by persons professing morality and
elnistianity, and claiming to be good citizens.
Instead of obeying the laws as they exist,
each man's conscience. is constituted into a
tribunal by which he judges of the equity and
justice of hie own acts, disregarding almost
entirely the general rules of action in Such
cases made and provided by the properly con
stituted public authorities.
Far be it from us to uphold the morality of
dealing in lottery tickets—we look upon peo
ple who _purchase them as great fools who do
not understand the simplest rules of aritlime ,
tic, but the fairness and equity in a social
point of view, of pitching into the lottery
dealers and leaving other sinners nnwhipt of
justice, is an entirely different matter. There
is no equity in arresting one class of law
breakers, winking at the acts of another set,
and tacitly approving these of others.
In Georgia a lottery ticket is a legal Institu
tion ; the issuer pays licence to the State, and
the sovereign power of the State says the busi
ness is a legal one. In Pennsylvania the sov•
ereign power says it is illegal, and flies pen
alties for breaking the laws. So in Ohio one
dollar notes are a legal institution, but in
Pennsylvania it is illegal and penal to pass
them. The men who, in Pennsylvania, deal
in " little papers " which are legal in Georgia,
are brought up tor punishment, while - Abe men
who, in their every day transactions, use the
" little papers . " which are legal in Ohio, go to
church on Sundays, and lead Union Prayer
meetings on week-days, undisturbed by Mayors
and police officers. Both are law-breakers—
neither class " render unto Ca:sar the things
which are theaar'e," and the evil influence of
their example in disregarding legal enact
ments is as tuneful upon public morality in
the one case as the other. For many years
the usury law, the small note law, the liquor
law, the laws against gambling, cock-fighting,
horse-racing, and a dozen other laws, as well
as the lottery law, have been openly disregard
ed, and that, too, by men who are considered
good citizens,' and who, in many instances,
make high pretensions to uprightness and mo
rality. Are those men who have been arrests
ed for selling lottery tickets any mare law
breakers than these ? We think riot. Those
few upon whom the legal tower of Siloam
has fallen are not wicked above all the other
dwellers in Pittsburg. Indeed, so far as the
voice of public opinion is concerned, we think
the money' dealer who shaves at the rate of
" threl per cent. a month," or the unlicens.d
seller, of murderous strychnine whiskey is
quite as great- a social sore in the community
as he who offers to sell worthless lottery tick,
ete to silly fools, indeed the whiskey is worse
than th - lottery tickets, and causes twenty
fold the crime and suffering, and costa the
public a hundred told more.
We believe it is for the public welfare that
all laws should be enforced or repealed, and
we cannot see the equity of Flushing one
class of law breakers and permitting another
to flourish upon illegally gotten gains. Why
should fish be made of one and flesh of an
' °Vier ?

The Nev American Cyclopedia.
The second volume of this great work is
even more interesting than the first. There
are not less than a hundred principal urticls
abounding in fresh and curious facts, and . at
least fifty that are not to be found in any
other book of reference. Edward Everett,
George Ticknor and Prof. Felton are among
the contributors. A distinguishing feature
of this preeminently American work, is the
frequent occurrence of the dates 1857, 1858—
of allusions to the Crimean war, to the great
Indian revolt, and to the grim crisis whose
shadow has hardly passed from us. In so vast
a granary of knowledge it is pleasant to find
on the top the very winnow inga of yesterday
Every American should have the Cyclopedia
in his house. This, with Becton's great na

Hon. George Taylor, of New York, from the
Select Committee on the subject of the Publi 3
Printing has made an elaborate and interest
ing report:
The nein . mitteo say, among other things, the
public printer elected by the Thirty.third Cons
gresti, and the public printer of the Senate of
Thirty fourth Congress, contracted, each ono re
spectively, with another or third party to do the
required work, receiving each to himself a largo
per centage, which was as a net reward of profit
for simply taking, under the name of public
printer the printing of Congiese, and sub letting
it to another ; neither of them having done any
portion .of the work himself
The public printer elected by the House for the
Thirty-fourth Cougreas (Wendell) did the re
quired House printing himself, and, in addition,
as sub-contractor under the Senate printer, did
the printing Senate for that Congress, as he did
all of the printing for the public printers of both
the Senate and House of the Thirty-third Con
gress, and ie now doing that for the public , prim
tore of both the Senate and the House of the
present Congress. Moreover, the setae party,
sub coati-eater under the Senate and House of
naiads, is pi inting the post-otlioe blanks 98 sub
contractor foT„, the person having that contract.
The per centage paid by the sub contractor,
above mentioned amounts at present to about
twenty thousand dollars per 1710lIth.
In the matter of the binding of Congress and
the Dap trtmonts, a similar state of faots has
been found to exist.
APRIL 26, 1858
The gross amount of binding for the Tt,
third Congress is 5538,458, that for the Thirty _
fourth, $865,083 But, iu addition to the Con
gressional works, there is a large amount of
binding annually done fur the several Eiecutive
Departments and Bureaus. The prices are ranch
higher than those established by Congress. The
work is given cut without system, and wits Lt
tie or no regard for economy, The binding for
the Departments and bureaus, including the
printed heads, in some instances., for the year
1857, amounted in gees , to $77,500, and will
probably be about the ssuie for the present
year.
The committee hgve asortained that the en
gravings for Congress and the Departments s e ,n
be done for fully thirty-three and a third per
cent. lesu than ie now paid.
The committee are assured that the whole cost
of the- engraving --the wood, the drawing, and
the electrotyping --need and ought not to have
been more than $22 per page, while it cost the
Government $32 10.
The grand total of the cost of printing, bind

ing of Congress, and the different Departments,
during the Th7tty-third Congress --that ;8,

in the present system, propose to establish a bu
reau for the execution of printing. binding, en
graving, &e., the office of the superintendent to
be abolished. They are satisfied that, while th
present speculation will he removed, the work
generally can be done by this means at least
thirty or forty par cent. saving to the Govern
ment,
This Government. printing should be a nu
tional matter, and distributed in such a man
ner that a few speculators should not be able
to control its emoluments. If a bureau of
public printingshould be established,its head
should be entrusted with power to give out
contracts in other places besides Washing.
tlitY, so that the work may be fairly distribs
uted over the country. Where a person of,
fere to contract to do printing for the Govern
went as cheaply and as well as another, the
contracts should be awarded by sonic system
ofmerit, and not by locality. In other brunch
es of the public service, contracts for sup
plies are distributed over the country. Why
should nut the printer of the country be per
mitted to enjoy the benefits of competition
in an equal degree with manufacturers, pur.
veyors and artisans generally' There can be
no reason why they should not, and it is to
be hoped that such a reform may be made in
the public penting department, as, while it
shall decrease the cost, shall also distribute the
pecuniary benefits arising therefrom over a
larger 'indte° of country, and among a
greater number of individuals.
Treasury Notes
Of the last issue of Treasury 00'es, we bes
lieve that something near $lOO,OOO is now
held in this city—some having been taken at
the banks in the regular course of business,
and some having been purchased as an invest ,
merit. The new loan asked for by the Secre
tary of the Treasury is beginning to attract
attention from capitalists. The fact that a
greater portion of the last issue commands a
premium, and the deposit of earnest money is
reduced from live per cent to one per cent,,
induces the belief that competition will be
closer than the previous proposals. The re.
(paired deposit money being so small, many
new bidders will be represented.
Judge kilack. ot Nebraska.
We were yesterday favored with a visit from
Judge Samuel W. Black, of Nebraska. This
talented lawyer, and eloquent orator, was ap
pointed District Judge for Nebraska, by Pres
ident Buchanan, and has won a high place in
the regards of the people of that Territory,
by his upright course as a Judge, and his
public spirited conduct as a citizen of that
young and thrifty Territory. His many
friends in this region will be rejoiced at the
prospects of their favorite.—Pennsylvanian.
Judge Black reached this city on Saturday,
where he will remain a couple of weeks, and
then return to Nebraska.

Two Steaniliocltts Cougumed.
Last evehihng our citizens were again thrown
into the utitioet excitement and horror, on receiv
ing intelligence that still another fearful steam
teat tett aetrophe had occurred, immediately
above this city. The facts, as related to us by
some of the passengers, are there: The steamer
Ocean Spray, engaged in the Illinois trade, and
the Hannibal City, one of the Keokuk Pocket
le 's finest bests, started out from this landing
about the same, time. Both were noted aeh fast
crafts, end it was currently whispered that a
race would eusue--a prediction wnieh we regret
to add proved but too true. When rounding the
bend, nearly opposite the Powder Magazine, the
Ocean Spray was iiiimoved to be on fire, mid the
pilot on watch immilliately headed her for the
shore.lie tluerne spread with the utmost rapid'
ty, and the despair and e.(eiteitcent of the passeu
gers, of whom there were ,ixty or seven's, fie.
teeu or sixteen of whom were ladies and ohildren,
was described he us being of the most heart
renal ng and terrific character. Women were
eeen to throw their babies iuto the water and
jumping irluiediately after them. Where the
Spray came in at, is a ph int which at dull sea
sons of the year is employed as a laying up point
fur steamers not engaged in trade, and at the
time the Keokuk, Star of the West and one or
two other crafts, were laying up. The flumes,
as the Spray came into the landing consequently
caught the stotimer Keokuk ; and before many
minutes elapsed that boat was enveloped in a
sheet of fire. Both bottle were burned to the
water's edge. The hull of the Spray floated
down the river, still continuing on fire, the levee
at the time, from one end to the other being
covered with human beings to witness the end
of thin terrible event. We have been informed
that there are at least from 20 to 21J lives lost,
Jint, of course, at this time cannot give it no ex
Licitly correct, it not being yet ascertained who
are the survivors. The Hannibal City passed
up by the Spray while she was on fire, stopped
and sent out a yawl to thi fisoistamoo of the un
fertnnate boiu4 iu the water, a circumstance
which was the Mow; o 1 serieg many lives. The
Ocean Spray was a ft it told elegant passenger
boat, and was owned by Cal..t. • !trail anti others.
She was valued at $25,000 or $30,000.
FUIRTEIER PART/CITLA.IIB - addition to the
aGove account from our river reporter, we have
the following particulate from other sources.--
Capt. Marsh estimates the number of passengers
uu hoard, at about 41,, and the officers and crew
at about the same Lumber— isn all, from 90 to 100
persons. several pasueng,urs estimate the num
ber of passengers at nearly 150. We leurh from
Capt. Marsh that the 4) ;eau Spray was built
just one year ago, at Pittsburgh, at a cost iil
$40,000, including ft/inhere. She was estimat
ed by him to lie worth $; - ', - ).1100 at the time of her
destruction. She is a total loss, both boat and
cargo. Of the latter there was but little.
When the burning hull floated down oppesito the
foot of Bloody Island, it was taken in tow by the
steam ferry-boat and the flames eatinguisned,
and the remains of the hull moored to !he Illinois
shore.
It is not known certainly whether she was in
sured. An order was made for a policy, but
Capt. Mash was not informed-as to whether it
had been completed. A number of trunks of
passengers floated past this city, and several
were brought on shore and deposited at:the Po
lice Office. The origin of the fire we could not
learn with certainty. When first discovered it
was in the forward part of the boat. Its origin,
as related by several passengers, was as follows :
The Ocean Spray and Hannibal City were racing,
as above mentioned, and to enablo the former to
mak° steam with greater rapidity, the firemen
were mixing rosin and turpentine with the coal.
A pile of this highly inflammable mixture, lying
in front of the furnaces caught tire, and the wind
strongly, the flames communicated to
the wool work nearest the boilers. We do not
vouch for the truth of this statement, but merely
give it as that of persons on board.
Ocean Steam Mall Routes iletween the
United States and Europe.
Mr. Florence, of Pennsylvania, has given
notice of his intention to introduce a "bill to es •
tablish certain ocean punt routes between the
United 'States and Europe, and to regulate the
transportation of the mails thereon, and to re
duce the expenses thereon.
The features of the coutetuplated act are pe
culiar, The operation of it is general in its
nature, totally ignoring private contracts, and
will, if it become a law, place cur ccean mail
hi-rviva on on thesame basis as the inland service;
and the ultimatum of the bill is that while it pro
vides fur five lines of steamers to Europe from
ports of the United States, it reduces the expen•
see of the ocean road service to the amount of
postage carried ; and it is believed that there will
he a revenue to the United States from thia her
vice under this bill. The lines to be established
are :
Route First or No 1. From Philadelphia to
Southampton, England.
Route Second or No 2 From New York ; via
Southampton to Havre, France
Route Third, or Nu. 3. From New York to
filuoketadt, via Plymouth, Havre, and Rotter
dam. 161
Route Fourth or No. 4. From New Orleans
via Havana, Bermuda, Fayal, (Spain,) and San
tander, to Bordeaux, France.
Route Fifth or No. 5. From Norfolk, Virginia,
to Nantes France.
The bill provides that the compensation to be
paid to each line is at the rate of two dollars
per mile. The tonnage of the steamers is fixed
at two thousand tons, and the speed at not less
than ten miles an hour. There is also provision
for the infliction of tines and penalties far failures
to depart and arrive at the time appointed in the

There is but little if any doubt that the Adminis
tration will soon ask as authorizative loan of thirty
millions of dollars, to be aprlied, in part, to the re

The friends of the new Kansas measure are en
tirely sanguine of its success during the present
week. Messrs. Douglas,Stuart and Broderick are
not only opposea to it, ut are actively endeavoring
to effect its defeat.
The Senate, yesterday, confirmed the nomination
of John Cadwallader, of Pennsylvania, to the Judge -

The former similar announcement arose from misap
prehension.
A GOOD SALARY.—The Paris correspondent of
the New York Times, thus states the compensa
tion of the new French Minister to England :
The " setting up" of the new French Embassy
to London will exceed anything for brilliancy
that has ever preceded it in the history of diplo
matic magnificence. The Duke's official carriage
will surpass in beauty and cost that made for
Marshal Sonit and the corporation of Queen of
Victoria. The new Minister's salary is now as
follows: Annual salary as Ambassador 300,000
franca ; for installation, or what was called un
der 'the old diplomatic law " outfit," 100,000
francs; to support the title of Duke of Malakoff,
100,000 francs a year; as Marshal of France
40,000 francs ; as Senator, 30,000 francs ; and
after thane soveral smaller sums for the various
‘iacoratious he wears. The total is about 680,-
000 frauos a year—or $115,000. As he is a
bachelor, the Baroness Malaret, wife of the first
Secretary of Legation, a lady eminently qualified,
will do the honors of the Embassy. The Mar
shall has taken Softon House, Belgrava Square,
for his new residence.
A DEAD BODY DISINTEUREED AND THE HEAT

Falb Republican gives an account of an affair,
extraordinary though of occasional occurrence,
which transpired about a mile from that village a
few days ago. it appears that a man by the
name of Adams died and was buried about sev
enteen months ago, leaving a wife to mourn his
loss. The widow removed to the West and re
mained there until a short time since, when she
returned to Gleans Falls. Upon her return she
found her deceased husband's brother dying
with consumption, and declared that he could bo
cured in the following manner, which she said
was practised whore she had been living:—The
body of her husband should be taken up, the
heart dissected. if any blood was found
in the heart, it should be burned, and the sick
man would recover I This proposition Was imme
diately acted upon -- the dead body disinterred, a

It Orol
HAI - mignon°, April 24 The Governor says he
will veto the bill to change the location of a stroot
in South Pittsburgh. He has not signed the Insu
rance bill, because the Senate amendment cuts off the
Lycoming Mutual Insurance Company from oily
ageneieg. Ho has not signed the City Revenue bill
because it taxes what has heretofore been subject to
State taxati..ll only. He signed the Claim bill on
Saturday.
THIRTY-eIFT.EI CONGRESS
„ affST-iESShrN
Sattardtty'a Prot•tedluge.
Nothing of impottance transpired during the
morning hour.
Mr. Fessenden's aniendirslat to the Deficiency Ap
propriation bill was taken up and voted on, being
negatived—yeas 22, nays 30.
The motion of Mr. Washburn° was disagreed to
by a vote of 46 against 155.""
Mr. Hughes tuovoil.the previous question, which
was negatived by 80 against 103.
If this had been carried, the House would have
been brought to a vote on the report of the Commit
tee of Conference. •
Mr. Dowart moved an adjournment, which was
agreed to by a vote of 106 to 99.
ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The pending motion, to-reconsider the vote post
poning the discussinn of the report of the Conference
Couunittee on the 4.ansai bill, and laying the motion
on the table, coming up for consideration, Mr. Ste.
phone, of Georgia, thought that Monday two weeks
was too far oir, at this stage of the session, for the
consideration of the report. Ile asked, as a personal
favor to himself, s he wished to be absent, and
owing to the state .rif his health, that all agree that
the vote be taken en Wednesday nest.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said that the report was an
entirely now one, and as he desired to leave the city
on Monday, and others propose leaving this evening,
aLd as it was impossible for him to return by
Wednesday next, the subject, ha thought, had better
be voted on on the day named--the second Monday
of_May..
The question was then taken, on motion of Mr.
Harris, of Illinois, to reconsider the vote by which
the postponement to the second Monday in May was
yesterday fixed, and to lay that motion on the table,
and it was decided aftiraiatively by a vote of 115 yeas
against 101 nays.
Mr. Stephens remarked that he only wanted a fair
understanding.
Mr. Hill, of Oeorgia, explained, that, in moving a
postponement of the report till the second Monday
in May, he did so at the suggestion of personal, but
not political; friends.
mr. Clay, of Kentuoky, said that he himself
wanted to go home, to attend to personal affairs, but
this was the first time he had known of in the history
of public) legislation, that the affairs of a groat coun
try should be postponed to meet the private wishes of
gentlemen. He presumed the mind of every gentle
man was made up, and the sooner the vote was taken
the bettor for tho country.
Mr. Montgomery said private affairs also required
his presence at home, No possible injury could re
suit from a postponement to the second Monday of
May.
The question then recurred on agreeing to the
original motion for postponement, as amended, by
inserting the second Monday in May.
Mr. Washburn°, of Maine, reoveLl a call of the
House.
Mr. Seward prosentod the petition of James C.
Jewett, that a demand he made on the government
of Peru for the non-fulfillment of engagements in
reference to Lobos Islands. Iteferred to Cortimittee
on Claims.
Mr. Yulee presentod the petition of Edward
Tippett for aid to test his cold water steam engine
Referred to Committee on Commerce.
Various petitions were presented in support of the
Collins steamers between Philadelphia and South
ampton. . .
Mr. B win, by leave, brought in his bill for securing
the better protection of the lives of passengers on
board steamers, which was read twice and referred to
the Postal Committee.
The Deficiency bill was further debated.
A motion that any unexpended appropriation on
the 30th of Juno, 1859, be returned to the surplus
fund, was lost by 18 to 29 votes.
? Mr. Wade epoko on the general question of the
Utah war. What would be cowardice in the case of
a great war might bo policy in the case of a tribe
lice the Mormons or Indians. He wished that the
President hail invoked the principle of popular sov
ereignty and applied it to that people; to let them
regulate their own affrirs; ha would yet, make peace
on the best terms, as a victory over them would he
barren. Ho would repeal the territorial law and in
deed would never have granted it, knowing as we
did, that they believed in a theocracy incompatible
with our Republican institutions. Had we let them
alone, their schisms would have divided them, but
our having sent an army would consolidate them
and make their counsels harmonious. Ho was op
posed to the Mormon tenets, but Mormonism has not
yet troubled the rights of any one outside of its own
circle; force never conquered fanaticism, for the
blood of martyr's is the seed of the church.
Messrs. Hale and Wilson respectively defined their
position in respect to their votes.
Finally the bill was read a third time and the ques
tion was put, shall the bill pass? Ayes 29. Nap

Committee with the addition of Mr. Stuart's amend
ment that the Secretary submit future contracts for
the sanction of Congress. • - -

From Washington.
W ABIIIfIGTON CITY, April 24.—The final question
on the motion as amended to postpone the Kansas
report of the Committee of Conferonoe till the second
Monday of May, was pending when the House ad
journed, and will come up at the next mooting. If
too motion of Mr. Hughes for the provious question
had been seconded it would have cut off the motion
for postponement, according to the Speakor's de.
°Won, and brought the House to a direct vote on the
report. Each party seemed uncertain as to its feal
strength, and hence the adjournment.
