THE ELECTION IN KANSAS.
On Monday next, the 2d day of August,
the people of Kansas will decide the question
of 'whether they will become a State, or re
main a territory. They will then decide up-
on " their own institutions in their own way,
subject only to the Constitution of the United
States," in pursuance of the spirit of the
English Conference Bill. The arrangements
for the election have been so admirably made,
that even Republican bitterness can find no
thing upon which to base some infamous
charge against the administration of Mr. Bu
chanan. The worn out cry of "unfair elec
tion in Kansas," is hushed at last. There can
be no " Missouri invasions" this time,for GoV
ernor Denver has anticipated and.prevented
this danger, if danger it wore, by_seenring
day for the Kaneasrelection when the Missou
ri politicians will be required at home. The
first Monday of August is fixed for the Mis-
souri State election, as well as the Kansas
election. The "Border Ruffians" must stay
at home to attend to their more immediate in
terests, and the people of Kansas can decide
for themselves what they will do, with " none
to molest them or make them afraid." The
system of tactics which has been adopted to
prevent all difficulty, is fully approved and en
dorsed by Mr. Rihthanrin and his cabinet.—
Every thing has been done which could be
done, to secure a fair and legal expression of
the`-'desires of the people of Kansas. No fraud
can happen, no trick be attempted, no event
can occur on next Monday, which is calcula
ted to impair the validity of the election upon
the proposition submitted by Congress to the
people of KaPsas, that has not been foreseen
and forestalled by the administration. The
'responsibility of this election, towards which
the attention of the whole country is directed,
lies been manfully and fairly met. It must
by on honest and a fair decision of the peo•
ple of Kansas as to what they will do, unless,
as at forme: elections, the Black• Republicans
adopt their old policy of skulking away from
the polls, or the Missourians openly abandon
their own State and their own institutions to
achieve a useless triumph in Kansas. Thus
etands the Kansas question now upon the eve
of the election. The entire capital of the
Black Republicans is destroyed. Whatever
Kansas shall decide on Monday, whatever the
result of this election shall be, she makes the
deeision in pursuance of a right bestowed by
the Democratic party, and opposed by the
Republican party. All the benefits which
Kansas may derive from this election, must
be awarded to the credit of the Democratic
party.
THE ATTENTION OF THE STREET COII7,IIS
EIONER is especially invited to the condition
of some property, located at the corner of
Fifth and Smithfield streets, opposite the Post
Office. The " owners, or reputed owners,' ,
of the personality, (the wooden man included)
known as the n-zie Press, will most indubita
bly be indictable for a nuisance, unless they
provide sufficient sewerage to carry off the
filth which daily accumulates in that locali
ty. The scribbling scavengers of the city
deposit the contents of their night cart brains
in the polluted and polluting columns of this
flash sheet, to the infinite disgust of all who
have a regarefor purity, and cleanliness.—
The pond holes in the Ninth Wardsare a nuis
ante, which annoy the hard working mechan
ics who pay ground rent in that locality alone,
>but this depository of filth is in the Very
heart of the city, and °' smells in the nostrils"
of every citizen who goes to the Post Office.
Those who are maintainers of this nuisance,
we are aware, are averse to the abatement of
all nuisances, until compelled by law to do
so. They are silk stockinged and ruffled shirt
ed aristocrats, who hate the poor and care
for nothing except the increase of their own
revenues at the expense of the toil of others,
but the Cloacinian instincts of the hostlers of
their Augean stable cannot but be disgusting
to those: who boast that " they can smell a
mechanic across the street." In self defense
they must construct a sew - et to carry off the
noisome accumulations they have attracted,
for the wooden headed fishmonger whom they
have employed to hold their net, lets every
thing pass except three cent pieces, and
these, they will find before they have done
with him, he is willing to plunge his arms to
the.elbows into filth of any kind to secure.
The New Government Vessels.
The Sloops-of-war for which appropriation
was made last session of Congress will be
constructed at the following places :--One at
Pensacola ; one at Norfolk ; one at Kittery,
Maine ; one paddle wherel steamer, drawing
three to four feet water; at San PranciSco ;
two probably at Philadelphia, and two at
NeW York. There was some thought of con
structing one at Boston and only one at New
York; bat looking at the amount of work
done and now being done at Boston for the
navy, and the ` . taperior facilities at New York,
it is believed none will be constructed at Bos
ton, and therefore two will be built at New
York. No doubt two will be given to Phila
delphia. Three are to draw not more than
ten feet of water, and the rest not more than
fourteen feet. The Secretary of the Navy,
seeing the necessity for vessels of light
draft, will not permit them to exceed this,
bui rather desires they should be under that
dr&ft.
Vile Secretary ot•the Navy will shortly vis
it:the navy yards at the North.
Sir Colin Campbell, with 40,000 troops in
India, finds his hands full to manage the7Se

in an open field fight, or a siege, but the cli

Hospital, and the Sepoys have adopted the
Gurrilla tactics, and are off at the signal
"The Campbells are coming." The war in

to come.

THE EDITOUS AT THE !MOUNTAIN
On Friday a large number of the editors
of this State and of neighboring States, met
at the Mountain House, and enjoyed the ele
gant hospitality of Col. W. S. Campbell du
ring the day. The number in attendance
was large, and they " had a good time gener
ally." Among those present, was Morton Mc-
Michael, of the .IVo - rth - Anicricaiz, - Col. FOrney
and Dr. Mackenzie, of the Press, G. Nelson
Smith, Esq., of the Johnstown Echo, who de
lighted the company with "Gentle Annie"
and " The Birth of Washington," sung in
most admirable-style, and a large number of
others. The party were in charge of W. B.
Foster, Esq., Vice President of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, who brought the party from
Altoona by special train. The day was spent
in most agreeable social intercourse. Judge
Ellis Lewis was there, as young as the young
est, Ex-Marshal mover, of the District of Co
lumbia, and a house full of other guests. Tho
occasion was one of unalloyed pleasure and
enjoyment.

Yellow Fever in Philadelphia.
Some of the newspapers, says the Ledger,
are giving very indignant denials of our state
ment that there was yellow fever at quaran
tine and sickness at the Lazaretto. The
newspapers may suffer themsehas'to be hum-:
bugged in this way by those who know they
have neglected their public) duties as sanitary
officers ; but if they had taken as much pains
to ascertain the facts as the Ledger did, they
would find that the statement is true. One
vessel was suffered to come up to the city
with the fever on board and had to be order
ed back to quarantine. We have no doubt if
this fact had been mentioned at the time it
would have received an indignant denial also.
The poi health of the city is preserved, not
by concealing the truth and covering up official
neglect, but by calling public attention to
them. We all know that a few years ago a
similar piece of neglect on the part of the
quarantine authorities caused a great deal of
sickness and a number of deaths.
The Tariff' Question
The Easton Argus thus disposes of the
Tariff game now about being played upon the
people of Pennsylvania by the Mulatto party.
That journal rays The attempt of a few
of the papers in the interest of the Mulatto
party to revive the Tariff question and make
it an issue at the coming elections, will benefit
nobody, and can only result in injury to
those who really have a persdnal interest in
Congressional action on this question. The
coal and iron men, five or six years ago, saw
the folly of dragging the Tariff question into
party politics. The more prudent do not
wish to do it now. Gentlemen should re
member that the Democratic party is now in
power for at least three years to come, and
whatever is done relative to a tariff must be
done by the Democracy. The Black Repub
lican members of New England care nothing
for Pennsylvania interests, and cannot be ex
pected to legislate for them. Of this, past
experience should convince us."
Wooster Wool ➢Snrket.
We clip the following statement of the
amount of wool purchased in Wooster the
present season from the Wayne County (0.)
Democrat of last week. We presume the
figures aro not far from correct.
French L Frost purchased about 15,000 pounds.
N. & J. B. Power 55,000 "
•
.H. Carr 9 8,000 "
I. Grey 25,000 "
I. N. Jones 10,000 "
Wm. C. Downing 8.000
All others 10,000 "
The average price paid would not vary
much from 35 cents, which would amount to
nearly $75,000, which is indeed a snu g sum
for the farmers of Wayne County in these
exceedingly tight times.
Gold Everywhere OA the Peethe Coast.
There is no doubt that gold exists, to a
greater or less extent all along the Pacific
slope. Especially it is believed that the au
riferous region of which California is a part,
extends through Oregon and Washington,
and British and Russian America, and across
Behring's Straits, into Siberia and the Ural
Mountains, which last named region was
found produetive before the gold discoveries
in California.

and other necessary buildings at Gettysburg.
A New Doctrine
The:following article from the Philadelphia
Bulletin is equally applicable here as in Phil
adelphia :
The prostration of trade of all kinds, during
the pest year, has necessarily affected the news
papers considerably. We are not aware that
any well-established papers have suffered a re
duction of circulation ; but dull business always
makes dull advertising, and some of the large
papers in New York, as well as in this city, show
a very eensidexable diminution in the amount of
their advertisements. The New York papers of
quarto form, that used to have room for only
ten or twelve columns of reading and news mat•
ter, have now thirty or forty comma to devote to
that purpose. The only kind of advertising that
seems to prosper as abundantly as ever, is that.
of servants and work-people wanting places,
of landlords offering housesto rent. But such
advertising is one of the signs of hard times, of
dull business and scarcity of Work.
But business men make a grand mistake
when, in consequence of dull times, they discon
tinue advertising. Then is the very time above
all others, when advertising should be persist
ently persevered in. The public then needs to
b.: reminded and temrted," by unusual and at
tractive invits:tions, to visit and examine a mer
chant's wares. Those business men who,
through all the storm of the panio and the sub •
sequeLt stagnation, still boldly and persistently
advertised as freely as ever, have prospered far
snore than those who discontinued their adver
:isieg, and sitting down with folded hands, re
°iced to wait. patiently for hatter times before
ihey,would begin again. Those dealers in dry
goods, fancy goods, perfumery, jewelry, books,
and miscellaneous articles, whose announcements
appear every day, are those who have been the
meet successful in their business during the past
eight or ten months. The timid ones, of the
penny-wise order, who withdrew their cards from
the variens papers when the storm came on,
have sunk into obscurity and will be heard of no
more, until they muster courage to announce
themselves again in the Tapers.
Discontinuing to advertise is like taking down
one's sign. It is a sort of intimation of retire
ment from business, and the public treat it as
such. Or they may regard it. as evidence of
something having gone wrong in the bueineis,
which requires privacy for the purpose of inves
tigation. Whatever construction may be put,
upon it, the result is disastrous. Now we ad
vise all our readers who may have fallen into the
common error of the season, to come out of their
holes, to put up their signs once more, and to
advertise as much and in as many papers as they
did in the beat times. While business creates
advertising, it is equally true that advertising
creates business. It creates a talk and a stir in
business circles, and reminds people that they
have no right to be leading drones' lives, -even
though the times be dull. And event in the
worst of times, advertising
.always pays well,
and the more of it there ie, the greater will be
the business activity, the more free will be the
circulation of money, and the sooner will we be
restored toa condition of prosperity.

Hon. Jefferson Davis on the Union.
Among the passengers of the Ship Joseph
Whitney, Captain Howe, from Baltimore, which
was making for the port of Boston on the 4th of
July last, was the distinguished Senator, Hon.
Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi. There was on
board an unusually brilliant array of passengers
from different parts of the country, and, upon
the patriotic suggestion of the captain, it WAS
resolved to celebrate the day in a manner befit
ting the great anniversary. A committee was
appointed to invite Senator Davis to make an ad
dress. He accepted the invitation, and deliver
ed an impromptu oration, which is spoken of as
characterized by " singular felicity of diction
and impassioned eloquence," and which com
manded the admiration of those who listened to
it. We Make from the report of the speech the
following extract:
" And this groat country will continue united.
Trifling politicians in the South, or in the North,
or in the West, may continue to talk otherwise
but it will be of no use. They are like the
mosquitoes around the ox—they annoy, but they
cannot wound, and never kill. There was a
common interest which run through all the di
versified occupations and various products of
these sovereign States ; there was a common
sentiment of nationality which beat in every
American bosom; there were common memories
sweet to us all, and though clouds had occasion
ally_ darkened our political sky, the good sense
and the good feeling of the people had thus far
averted any catastrophe destructive of our con
stitution and the Union. It was in fraternity
and elevation of principle which rose superior
to sectional or individual aggrandizement, that
the foundation of our Union was laid ; and if we
the present generation, bo worthy of our epees
try, we shall not only protect those foundations
from destruction, but build higher and wider
this temple of liberty, and inscribe perpetuity
upon this tablet."
The author of a work called " Notes of an
Army Surgeon," records the following incident
as baying occurred during the war of 1812: "I
remember one day in.making my hospital rounds,
a patient, just arrived, presented an amputated
fore-arm, and in so doing, could hardly refiain
from a broad laugh ; the titter was constanthion
his face.
"Vhat is the matter? This does not strike me
as a subject for laughter? "It is not,•dootor ;
but excuse ms—l lost my arm in so funny a way
that I still laugh when I look at it." " What
way ?" " Our first sergeant wanted shaving, and
got me to attend to it, as lam corporal. We
went together in front of the tent. I had lath
ered him, taken him by the nose, and was just
applying the razor, when a cannon ball came.
and that was the last I caw of his head and my
arm. Excuse me, doctor, for laughing, but I
never saw such a thing before."

is that a she, and are there two?
he Dinah that man's mate?
Her lips were red, ber nose was flat,
Her teeth were yellow as gold ;
Her skin was as black as ebony,
The bar maid of the boat waa.sbe
Who Bourbon whisky sold.
And when we asked the price of drink,
Ten °ante a quart, she ea d;
And all the while, as ran the spite,
She whistled Uncle Ned.
Each boatman dips, shells out the Bps,
Broad grins the lady dark;
With empty barrel s o'er the stream
Off shot the Bourbon bark.
[The crew get on a high.]
Three times seven living men
Drank on 11l all was done;
With tipsy thump, a lifeless lump,
They fell down one by one.
[The ancient lamberman is punned by the gentleman with
the lire-iron.)
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
I had the horrid shakes;
And all too tight to help me fight,
The devil or the rnakoB.
[Mr. Lee fearoth the lumberman hue another attack.]
" I fear thee, ancient lumberman I
I fear thy pallid brow I"
Oh fear me not, Daring Lee,
For I am sober now.
[The lumberman perceiveth. all sorts of diabolical things'
including the big chicken.]
I look'd upon the muddy tide,
There monsters vile did lie •
I look'd upon tho shingle pile,
There stood tho grim Shanghai.
A devil blue, with fiery mane,
Did sit and grin abaft;
And monkeys red, with Mils of ilamo,
Ran swiftly 'round the raft.
A equalling babe would cause to swear
An Angel from on high;
Bnt, Oh ! more horrible than that
Is the crow of a dead Shanghai ;
All day, all night, I saw that bird
Around the cabin fly.
[The spirit of the foul layeth out tho ancient lumbentan
Then like a hoppergrass let go,
He made a sudden bound.
He hit me chuck, between the eyes,
And I fell down In a wound.
•
[When the lumberman rerovereth he hears two persons
talking, who prove to be the Sheriff and his deputy, sent
by the Buckeye buckwheat to arrest tits destroyer of his
poultry.]
How long I lay upon the deck,
I have not to declare;
But when my life return!d, I heard
Two voices in the air.
12 it he?" quoth one, "is this the man
Who is so wontProtts sly?
Through wanton fan, took up his gun,
And killed the this Shanghai?"
The other was a little man,
Who chewed the boney4eW ;
Quoth he,This surely is the chap
The 'ltiutre must put through."
:'y'~~Y
t':r~'
:_A'y
The Sheriff and ths,Depnty,
I heard them coming List;
t.nd dodg'd behind the cabin door,
In hopes they would go pas%
They came alAard, the warrant read,
As only sheriff's can;
Then in the boat they took me off,
TO see the Alderman,
The Alderman of Arkansas.]
This 'Squire lives in Arkansas,
HIS faze is red with gin;
Behind his ear ho keeps his pen,
Ho likes to talk with river men,
And take the stranger in.
Ho efts at.morn, and noon,- and eve,
He hath a body plump ;
And while he dealoth out the law,
He puffs a toby atamp.
" itrango, by my faith," (the 'Squire said,)
"A boatman with his gun
What charge havo you, good officers ?
What bath the follow done?"
" Your Honor, he did shoot a b:rd,"
(The Sheriff did reply.)
" What kind of bird?" (said Al/Erman.)
Quoth Sheriff, "Big Shanghai."
Tho lumberman atoneth for destroying the rooster by fork
ing over an eagle.]
Oh I fine me light, then man of law I
Ile eyed me through his specs;
" Shanghai," (epake he.) " a noble bird
So shell me out nn X."
Forthwith I drew my wallet out;
It wan an agony;
I forked them o'er the golden chick,
And then they left me free.
I pass around from town to town,
On river, lake, or shore;
The moment that his face I see,
I know the n.an that meat hear me—
The man that I must bore.
Farewell, fardwell; but this I tell
To you, Daring Loel
Re boateth well, who 'voids shanghais,
And lots tho Bourbon be.
The lumberman talrath his departure, and leaveth Mr. Lee
considerably riled.]
The lumberman, who, with his yarn
The Frolic guest did bore,
Is gone; and now Darius Leo
Turned from the farmer's door.
Ho wont like one thnt hath been sick,
Or one of pleasurep aborn
A sadder and a madder man
Lie rose the morrow morn.

RAILROAD CONVENTION AT CLEVE
The New York and Brie Railroad Cut Off
[Prom the Cincinnati Gazette, July 24.]
Agreeably to notice, a Convention of tho rep
resentatives of the Western Railroad Companies
was held at Cleveland, on Tuesday, to take into
consideration the action of- the managers of tho
New York and Erie Railroad, in reducing pas
senger fares, in violation of the Cleveland agree
ment. The following roads were represented :
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago, by Geo.
W. Case, President.
Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cincinnati, by T.
L. Jewett, President.
Buffalo and Erie, by Dean Richmond, Vice
President.

from attending the Convention by a meeting of
his own board, which required his attention.
There were persons present,as spectators mere
ly, from the Ntiw York Central, Pennsylvania
Central and Baltimore and Ohio. Mr. Corning,
of the New York Central, assured the Conven
tion of the intention of his company to ad in
good faith.

J. S. Newman was chosen President of the
Convention and John Durand Secretary.
It was stated that th's New York and Erie
managers, without notice, having reduced the
passenger fare below a remunerative point, this
meeting had been called for the p ur p o se of put
ting in force the 13th article of • the Cleveland
Convention of 1857 —renewed at . Buffalo at a
recent meeting.
Mr. 'Case, on the part of the two Southern
lines—Pennsylvania Central and Baltimore and
Ohio—stated that this - reduction-made by the
New York and Erie road had been in operation
five or six weeks, during which time the South
lines had stood quietly by, hoping that a satis
factory arrangement - could be made. He farther
stated, that the representatives of the four lines
had met at Buffalo, and afterwards at Now York;
that at the New York meeting an arrangement
had been entered into, satisfactory to Mr. Mo
ran, President of the Erie Company ; but as
usual in snob oases, it required the action of the
respective boards of direomrs to render this
agreeMent binding: The Baltimore and Ohio
directory composed of thirty-one members, con
firmed the agreement, with but three dissenting
votes. The New York Central adopted it unani
mously, and the Pennsylvania Central directory
was understood to be unanimous in its favor ;
but the Erie directors rejected it, and persisted
in keeping the fare at low prices.
It was then proposed to enforce the 13th arti•
ale of the Cleveland Convention. This elicited
a lengthy and rambling discussion, prinoTpally
however, with reference to the manner of pro
ceeding. There was no direct opposition to the
motion, and upon the main question there was
general harmony. After fuliy canvassing the
matter, in connection to the causes which led to
the rednotion, it was unanimously resolved to
put in force the 13th article of the Cleveland
agreement.
The effect of this action is to decline all pas
senger and freight relation with the Brie road,
to make a reduction on through tickets of three
dollars, from all points west to New York. This
reduction of prorated off the proportions as now
received by the several roads. There is also a
reduction of one dollar per ton, in freights.—
This arrangement is to take effect on Monday
nest.
It was understood that all the roads in the
West would cheerfully and fully co-operate in
this movement.
Under this agreement the Western roads will
refuse to receive tickets from the Erie road, or
to sell tickets over that road or to bill freights in
connection with the Erie road, thus effeetively
cutting off the latter from all connection with
the West.
Should the Erie Managers make a further re
duction in fares, a corresponding reduction will
be made by the other lines, and pro-rated as
prodded above.
It is doubtful whether this arrangement can
be carried out ; but should the movement suc
ceed, the Erie Managers will find themselves in
a tight plane. The N. Y. Courts will probably
interfere to prevent the New York roads from
discriminating against tie Erie Company, a de
civion to this effect, if our recollection is correct,
having been rendered in a similar case, last win
ter. Such a decision would defeat, in a meas
ure, the present movement. In any event, a
fierce railroad war may be expected.
The Erie Company will fight hard, and use
every possible effort to bring the New York Cen
tral to terms. Its object is, probably, to secure
a subsidy from the latter company as stated by
the New York Tribune. The war has now been
fairly commenced, and its progress will be watch
ed with interest by the holders of railroad se•
eurities, as also by the public at large.
