TFIE.INCREASE OF ORME
The daily reports of the public press, and
the constantly increasing calendars of our
criminal courts, give painful evidence that
the moral condition of our commnaity is daily
becoming worse and worse. Our jail is full
of murderers, cutters and vagabonds of every
description ; outrages with the knife s the pis
tol, the_lmuckler and the slung shot, are of
frequent - occurrence ; wives are almost daily
beaten by drunken husbands; disorderly
houses and disorderly persons are increasing
in number ; there is no end to the drunken
and vagrant cases which throng our magis
trates' offices, and the good citizens of the
county are compelled to pay the expenses of
an unusually large number of these cankers
of society. There must be some cause for all
this, and in the combined force of morals and
of law, there ought to be some effectual rem
edy. One main cause of the great increase
of crime of which the community so justly
complains, is undoubtedly, idleness. The diffi
culty which has obtained in getting remuner
ative employment for a yekr past, has driven
many persons of weak morality to crime.—
A.nother cause is the want of due parental
control and guardianship over the young.
lia a large city the temptations to vice are so
numerous, that the utmost watchfulness is
necessary, to prevent the rising generation
frorn — falling into error. Another, and proba
bly one of the principal causes of the increase
of crime in these communities, arises from
the fact that the penalties are so easily avoid
ed ; and this is especially the case in regard
to minor offenses, such as are summarily dis-
posed of by the magistracy. For these grades
of offense there is no proper place of punish
ment provided, as =in other large cities. The
county jails, with its crowded cells, where
criminals of all grades are thrown together
in idleness, is no place for reformation, but
rather a school for vice. And even in the
jail, Where, for want of a better place, crimi
nals guilty of offenses against the good order
of society and the public peace are committed
there, they do not serve out their sentences,
but by some system of hocus pocus known in
the commissioners' office, are turned loose
upon the community, again to be arrested and
committed at the expense of the public treas
ury. We have been informed upon authority
which cannot be denied that persons from the
Commissioners' office are accustomed to so
licit magistrates for discharges for prisoners
committed for minor offenses, such as disor,
duly conduct, vagrancy, etc., and that at the
request of the Commissioners the magistrates
grant these discharges. We can name eases
of the most hopeless character whoJiave been
committed to jail for thirty days three times
within the past month. It is scarce two
weeks since the notorious Mary Burke was
sent up for thirty days for the most disgust
ingly outrageous conduct upon the public
streets, yet we are informed she is now at
large. We can name dozens of similar in
stances, where the Commissioners have inter
ferer-to procure the discharge of prisoners
from jail. It is certainly a now idea that a
sort of pardoning power is vested in the Com
missioners' office. To be sure, they get a dis
charge from the committing tnagistrate, but
in cases of summary convictions, no magis
trate, when he has once adjudged the case
has any legal authority to grant a discharge,
until his sentence has been complied with.—
If he commits in default of a fine, either the
fine must be paid, or the prisoner serve out
his sentence. This is the clear intent of the
law, and when John B. Guthrie and Jonas R.
McClintock were the chief magistrates of our
city, they never granted a discharge until the
sentence was complied with, either by pay..
meat of the fine imposed, or serving out_the
imprisonment as an alternative. The piactice
is illegal, and is one of the main causes why
thEtnumber of commitments has so largely
increased. It is a mistake on the part of the
Commissioners, if they suppose they are sav
ing the public treasury by the course which
they pursue. On the contrary, it increases
the costs of crime which the County Treas.
ury has to pay. We saw a man committed
last week for drunkenness, for the term of
five days: Had he been permitted to remain
in prison for the time for which the magistrate
sent him, the cost to the county would have
been $l, 62 ; as it was,
,the Commissioners
procured his discharge, and on the next morn.
ing h 6 was sent back drunk, thus making the
-ost in - his case to the county nearly doable
what it would have been, had he been per.
witted to remain. These discharges are mi.
ther legal, economical, nor in any way for the
public good. They result in inducing a care
less boldness and utter disregard of legal
penalties on the part of offenders, ayd thus
increase offenses and consequent expenses tc
the public treasury.
Criminal laWs should be rigidly enforced.
Every avenue of escape from the penalties of
broken laws should be securely closed. Un
til this is done, there can be little prospect of
I I a decrease in the number of offenses, which
I the vicious and degraded commit against the
peace and good order of society.

EXPLAIt 4 /S.
The poor whimpering 'Prue Press of this
city permits so many to fill its columns with
all sorts of stuff, that the publisher is brought
up every few days t explain "Our Position."
The issue of Monday bogs pardon for the ap
pearance of an article of the Saturday pre
vious, abusing the Post and the respectable
gentlemen who differed from the proceedings
of the late Democratic Convention. So long
as Kennedy permits writers who have private
griefs to avenge, to occupy space to stab, as
sassin•like, under cover, he will be constantly
explaining. One of the owners of the Press
informed us the other day,that the dirty work
of lying about Democrats was entrusted to
Democrats, whose position at least should give
them couraga to place their initials to their
articles, or openly avow them. We suggest
it as an improvement. We know it would be
a relief to John . : who dislikes very much to
be considered a Democrat, or as endorsing
Democratic measures.

SERVII,NTGALISfti
A lady in Sunderland, England, recently
had cession to fill up a vacancy in her staff of
domestics. The first girl who called abou t
the place refused to go out with the child's per
ambulator even it another were sent to puslr
it ; the secoud applicant desired to be in-'
formed if she could have a separate room to
herself, in which to receive her friends ; and
the third said she would like to know in what
circle her mistress visited. In this country
there are no such things as servant girls any
more. They are to all intents and purposes
the mistress of the mansion where they re
side. They will not deign to submit to or
ders—they must be requested in the politest
terms to perform their duties, and even then,
we are at their mercy, for they go away with
out notice and at the slightest reprimand for
neglect of duty, they demand their wages and
put on their bonnets and leave. The man
who invented the sewing machine, would
have conferred a far greater benefit upon
the world had he hit upon an invention
to take the place of servant girls• They dis
regard contracts, and never seem to think the
relation between mistress 'and servant, is one
of mutual benefits. In America, servant
girls are decidedly a more powerful and in,
dependent class of persons than their mis-
tresses. Now and then we hear of a " jewe
of a girl," but they are few and far between
TErE New York papers are filled with thif
details of the incendiary operations at the
Quarantine grounds at Staten Island. Ray
Tompkins, said to have been the leader of the
incendiaries, Charles De Forrest, a justice of
the peace, and two others, have been arrested.
There are some one hundred and fifty scar.
rants out for various parties. The police
force of the city are strictly guarding the
grounds.

The New Consul to Home
A short time ago the appointment of Dr.
Bradford of New York as the American Con
sul to Rome, was announced in the Star. Dr•
Bradford aceepte'l the appointment at the
time, but owing to circumstances which have
since transpired, he has been compelled to
resign, and the President has filled the
vacancy by appointing H. Wentworth of New
York.
Kansas Pearls and Gold
A correspondent of the Lawrence Republi
can gives some particulars concerning the
"gold and pearl discoveries " in Southern
Kansas. The new Eldorado is on Walnut and
Whitewater rivers, south of Breckenridge
county. Some of the pearls aro said to be
worth a little, but the general assortment is
valued . ..at five dollars a peck. The gold dis
coveries Pike's Peak turn out to .be equally
mythical It is reported, however, that fifty
miles north, on Cherry Creek, gold is found in
considerable abundance. An exploring com
pany declare that if they had proper apparat
us for collecting the gold, each man could re.-
alize $2O per day.

orders for the confirmed protection of the

Butler Court ,y.
The Democrats of Butler county held their
primary elections on Saturday last, and as
semble in convention to day to nominate a
county ticket. We understand that Mr. Gra
ham will be the choice of the district for Con
gress.
In Town
We notice quite a number of Democ - ratic
Editors in the city at present, in attendance as

Mal r County
By a special dispatch from llollidaysburgh
we learn that the Democratic Convention of
Blair county, on Monday, nominated Thadde
us Banks for Congress.
Honors to lEx.Prostdent Pierce.
The Press, speaking . of Ex-Presidont Pierce's
tour in Europe, says:—" All along the route,
from Lisbon to Marseilles, he has been the
recipient of distinguished consideration from
public officers and private citizens. At Gib
raltar, the senior officer in command of the
British naval forces at that point, extended
dialled courtesies, and urged the Ex-Presi
dent and Mrs. Pierce to take passage for Tan
giers in one of her Majesty's public. armed
vessels. At Marseilles, the French authoris
ties, headed by the prefect and military com
mander, were especially attentive and zealous
in acts of hospitality."

Es!—ln Lola Nlontez'a book on the "Art of
Beauty," she gives " Fifty hints to gentlemen on
the Art of Fascinating." The first hint cam-
menace thus :—" Set it down, then, that women
prefer triflers to men of sense :" and the fifteenth
thus : "One of the most direct and sure ways
to fascinate a lady is to excite in her heart a
spirit of rivalry, through jealousy." The fifti-
eth ends as follows : "If you have not the na
tural sprightliness and playfulness, to take ad
vantage of yeas rules, take the cther track and be
as surly as possible—that is if you cannot be a
puppy and frisk and bark, be an old dog and

—Nothing remains of the Quarantine build

attack made a clean sweep of all and every
building occupied by the Quarantine authorities
The sick men and women were removed from
the hospital and placed upon the grass before the
work of incendiarieut commenced. In the first of
Wednesday and Thursday night thirty•two build
ings were laid in ashes.
Another Attempted Escape
John L. Mohr, confined in the Western
Penitentiary for burglary, attempted to es
cape at an enrly hour yesterday morning.
He was discovered by the guard endeavoring
to scale the outer wall, by means of a stick
some ten feet long, with hook on the end of it,
having mounted a tree in the yard in order to
reach up. lie was fired at several times, and
two balls took effect on him, one in the thigh,
another in the calf of the leg. On examinas
tion, it was discdvered that he had drille4lsev
eral holes in the iron plate in the window of
his cell, broken it out, and crept through,
thus gaining access to the enclosure.
It will be remembered that this is the man
who robbed Dunlap's hardware store. While
in jail ho made a desperate attempt to escape,
hut was frustrated in it. lle boasted before
being taken to the penitentiary that he would
escape, and he almost succeeded in making
his word good.
The Chess Contest.
The London Critic says that when Mr.
Staunton was first challenged to play Mr.
Morphy, the young American chess player,
the sum named was $5,000, because it was
expected that Mr. Staunton would meet his
antagonist in America, and it was thought a
smaller sum ought not to offered to a veteran
chess player. When, however, Mr. Morphy
came to England, the sum was reduced to $2,-
500, by mutual consent. We are given to
understand that Mr. Morphy's money is post
ed, but that Mr. Staunton's is not ; and there
is a very confident feeling among chess play
ers that, since Mr. Morphy's success in oppo
sition to Herr Lowenthal, Mr. Staunton's
anxiety . for the match will not be augmented.
Wyoming County
The Wyoming County Democratic Conven ,
tion assembled at Tu nebannock on the 31st
ult. R. R. Little, Esq., was nominated for
Congress, he receiving 19 votes to 15 for Thos.
Osterhout. Col. Andrew Gordinier was unan
imously nominated for the Legislature, and
the following county ticket selected :
Commissioner, Benjamin P. Carver ; Treas.,
urer, C. L. Jackson ; Coroner, P. H. Wilsey ;
Auditor, John D. Rogers.
Hon. WHBaut A. Pester.
The Ebensburg Democrat, in noticing a re
cent visit of Judge Porter to Johnstown says
" Our talented and popular candidate for Su
preme Judge was in our town several days
last weekland of course, made quite a favor
able impression on the minds of the -Democ
racy of the Mineral City, who became ac
quainted with him during his stay. The pros
pects of Judge Porter's election, by an over
whelming majority, are every day growing
brighter. The Democracy everywhere are
united in his support, while his great personal
popularity will secure him many opposition
votes. The opposition leaders, it is true, are
extremely anxious to defeat him; but they
are already beginning to give up the chase in
despair. No man in the State is better quad.
ifted for the Supreme Judge than Judge Por,
ter. His public record is spotless, while his
private character is without a stain. The
Democracy of Cambria will declare in his
favor by a large majority—as large, if
not larger, than that in favor of Mr. Buchanan
in 1856."

TWENTY-SECOND DISTRICT
We think our correspondent from the

not unite with those from Butler in making
a nomination for Congress. We assume that
these gentlemen will do their duty to the par
ty and the district, by nominating a consist
ent and reliable Democrat.
[For the Morning Post ]
Air. Editor :—As you appear to be very hostile to
the Know-Nothing party, and bitterly opposed to the
election of J. K. Moorhead because of his supposed
attachment to that order, how can you reconoile your
conduct with consistency when you support Thotnas
Farley for County Commissioner, and Alex. Black
for Prothonotary, both of 'whom received the en•
dortoment, adoption and jiomination iu the same
convention, by the same parties, and at the same
moment of time, as J. K. Moorhead for Congress. I
shall not vote for Moorhead, nor shall I vote for Far
ley or Black, unless they give substantial evidonoo
that they have no affiliation with or sympathy for
this detestable order. Let them purge themsolvos.
A FIRTEI WARD Dolmen/a.
We have supported Messrs. Black and Far.
Icy as Democrats, and nothing else. If Re ,
pudiation and Know Nothing Conventions
have certified to them, by endorsement, it
does not necessarily (chow that they in re-
turn endorse them. ft would be far more
preferable, and we may as well state it now
as again, that Messrs. Farley and Black
would very much enhance their chance of suc
cess anti secure the confidence of a large por
tion of the Democratic party, in detaching
themselves from the Know Nothing endorse,
ment. They have nothing to lose by doing so,
and we advise them to at once take as bold
ground against this miserable party, as they
have in favor of Repudiation.
Editor Post :—A specimen of the spirit of the
True Press is evinced in last Saturday's number,
in an editorial notice of a call upon the National
Democracy, to elect delegates to assemble in
Convention on Wednesday, the 16th pros.
It is an obligation canfoired, that such iudes
oretion has so early exposed the tactics of the
Press, and unmasked that terrible engine,
which hurls such ponderous shot at "six or seven
small fry."
The call alluded to bears upon its face a spe
cial object, which the True I'n•ss declines to
state, but misrepresents by applying opprobri
ous terms. However, we take him upon his own
words, and give further explanation.
Suppose a case of augling—" Small Fry,"—
worms, even if their heads need attention, will
serve to catch other " small fry"—minnows and
ohubs, and then good old fishermen (if the rod
used be a good cue,) will, may be, be able to
catch big fish, Note Bone; Suckers have no
right to bite.
We will further, for the - benefit of dull com
prehension, explain the obkct of that call.
A good shepherd should always know his own
sheep, and as the Allegheny County (Pa.) flock
has, of late, been slightly mixed, James Bnehan
an and Wm. F. Packer desire to know what
sheep carry their wool. Easily done—by tar
ring red or blue, marking, as taste prompts.
They will not recognize any black sheep, nor
allow their white sheep to mingle politically with
them, for in time the stock invariably mixes.
There is an unusual solicitude on this -subject
at present, inasmuch as all the salt hes been ex
pended on a few of the flock, and no more can
now be issued. As a consequence, a few infect
ed animals are endeavored to get a lick out of
their trough, disguising thenyelves with a coat
of Republican ink.
Further still, asserting that no local issues
have been called in quection, the National and
State Demecrsoy are called upon to remember
that issues of vital importance to the Democratic
cause are before them in October.
The eleotion of Win. A. Porter, for Supreme
Judge, and Westley Frost, for Canal Commis
sioner, can be be effected only by the Democrats
of Allegheny county presenting to the enemy an
unbroken front of ten thousand men.

Remarkable Phenomenon—lmmense
Swarms of strange Insects.
A correspondent of the New York Evening
Poet writing from Poplar Ridge, N. Y., under
date of Sept 2d, gives the following remarkable
statement. Ho says :
Yesterday, at about four o'clock P. m., the at.
mosperc became suddenly filled with myriads of
insects of type entirely unknown in this region,
as far as I can learn. The phenomenon is known
to have extended several miles, and appears to
have occurred at the same moment. The insect
is about one-fourth of an inch long, and closely
resembles the common ant.
Bat the strangest part of the matter (that is,
to me,) remains to be told, As soon ea they ap
peared, they began to alight upon whatever ob
ject they oame in contact with, and to give birth
to young insects ready winged, whion in a few
seconds ascended into the air, while the old ones
threw themselves into violent contortions, which
continued until they succeeded in ridding them
selves of their wings+--after which they appear
ed to feel much relieved, and ran briskly about
upon the ground, as contented, apparently, as
though they had never possessed the power of
flight. In an hour the earth was alive with
