r ELECTION OF V. S. SENATOR. '
The time for the election : of United States
Senator is fixed by law on the second Tuesday
of February. It was formerly on the second
Tuesday of January, but as that did not allow
sufficient time for settling contested seats, and
making other preliminary arrangements, the
last Legislature ehanged the law, as above.
TO "UPPER END" SUBSCRIBERS.
"We were not aware, until a day or two
since, that the Indiana Mail left Curwensville
on Thursday, but were under the impression
that it started out on Friday morning. Hence
for sometime past we have been sending the
packages for that route, on Thursday evening.
We deem it proper to make this explanation
lest the blame should be put upon the Post
Office Department, which, Ileaven knows !
has already more sins of its own to bear than
it can conveniently carry. Hereafter the mat
ter shall be remedied. .
. SECRETARY OK STATE.
The public, and especially the people of this
portion of the State, will be glad to hear the
announcement which we make this morning,
by authority, that Col. A. G. Ccrtis has con
cluded to accept the office of Secretary of
State, which has been tendered him by Gov
ernor Pollock. That he has done so only at
the urgent solicitation of his friends, to pro
mote the harmony of the party, and contrary
to his own desire and inclination, we kaow,
and may therefore safely, state. He was not
an applicant for the ofllce it was tendered to
him voluntarily, and he was urged to accept it
in such a manner; and for such reasons as left
him no other alternative. It will not change
his position in any respect, as a candidate for
the United States Senate.
"With such men as Gov. Pollock, and
Col. Ci RTis at the helm of State, we may
safely anticipate one of the most able and
brilliant Administrations in the history of our
noble old Commonwealth. There are no two
public men in the State, whom we esteem so
highly, or for whom we have greater admira
tion, and at the close . of the Administration
the people will coincide with us, that the af
fairs of Pennsylvania could not have been en
trusted to abler hands.
THANKSGIVING.
This (Thur.nday) is the day. set apart for
thanksgiving and praise, throughout the Com
monwealth. Should it not rather be one of
gloomy fasting and prayer. True, wo have
much for which to be thankful, but there is
much more over which to mourn, teaching us,
more forcibly than the armed fleets and serri
ed hosts that are disturbing the peace of the
other hemisphere, the providence and sover
eignty of God. The past year will long be
celebrated in history for its disasters and
afflictions. The millions of produce destroy
ed by the drought, the disasters by fire, by
railroads, by river, and by sea, the pestilence
that wasteth at noonday, the unparalleled
tightness of the money market, and the pros
pect of a hard winter, fill the land with wait
ings and tears. When we seat ourselves at
our thanksgiving dinner, let us not lorget that
before "old winter" again rolls over us, many
a poor suppliant for benevolence and mercy,
may die for want of the crumbs that fall from
our table. God help the poor!
. MORE COMPLAINTS.
The people in the vicinity of Kylcrtowa
complain that their letters, directed properly
at Philadelphia, and pre-paid, are re-stamped
at Woodland, and five cents additional postage
charged upon them. ; Whose fault is this? . .;

These are only a specimen of the complaints
echoed daily. in our ears, and we must confess
our utter inability. to devise a remedy, under
the present Post Master General. . He, and his
minions, do just as they . please, and we must
put up with it in the best manner we can.
We shall, however, proceed with some of our
investigations, and,, from present indications,
we may ere long disclose as pretty a piece of
villainy as ever was perpetrated under oath.
Some gentlemen may discover that forgery la

p THE NEW- YORK ELECTION.!. J.
The returns of the New; York t election are
still, to some extent, uncertainr" But the re,
joicing of the rumites the friends of Seymour,
has suddenly . ceased j and", there is . but little

THE SOULE DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
: Advices from Washington state that the
FreriehLGovernment has withdrawn all objec
tions' tf Mr. Soule passing through France.','
It is also stated that the English Government
feel a good deal of. uneasiness about the mat
ter, mid that Its settlement has been the result
of their interference. Louis Napoleon is said
to have had a personal interview with our Min
ister; Mr.. Mason, in which he disclaimed all
intention of insulting our Government, in the
person of its Envoy.
The probable cause of Mr. Soule's treatment
may be found in the history of the Madrid du
els, with which the public is well .acquainted.
While at the Court of Spain, as the Minister
of the United States,' Mr. Soule took it upon
himself to speak disrespectfully of the Einp-rt-ss
Eugenie, of her personal, social, and
moral character. If what he said was true
she was totally unfit, not only for the Emjress
of France, but for a respectable wife.. This
language coming to the ears of the Duke of
Alba, who - married a sister of the Princess
Eugenie, he took occasion, in order to revenge
his own and his wife's honor, to criticise the
dress, , robe, and style of Madame . Soule,
that Mr. Soule might be insulted in a similar
manner. This led to the duels at Madrid, and
no doubt to his more recent expulsion from
the dominions of the French Emperor.
Had President Pierce been capable of ma
king a proper appointment, this Red Republi
can Fillibuster would have remained at home,
and the present difficulty would never have
occurred. Nothing more could be expected
of such a rash, hot-headed bully, whose prin
ciples were odious to every European govern
ment, than that he would involve the country
In trouble, which may. perhaps, end in blood
shed, however we may now congratulate our
selves on its settlement. In all probability the
explanation of the French Emperor is a mere
stroke of diplomacy, made at the instance of
England, and we have yet to see the last of the
affair. It is not probable that he can forget
the fact that Mr. Soule is a native of France,
and that he has diffused sentiments while in
Paris antagonistic to their form of Govern
ment. He may also, if he feels disposed,con-
strue his appointment and conduct, as a direct
insult from the United States. President
Pierce selected him as his accredited Minis
ter to Spain, knowing him to be identified
with the party, who do not seek to disguise
their intentions towards Cuba; and no sooner
does he arrive in Madrid than he very foolish
ly becomes involved in a ridiculous quarrell
with the brother-in-law of Louis Napoleon,
and with M. de Turgot, his Embassador! But
more than this. During the summer he visit
ed the south of France, where he held lan
guage with refTerence to the French Emperor,
to say the least, not decorous coming from
Ambassador of another State; and still more
recently, in Paris, he gave utterence to revol
utionary sentiments. Is it then to be wonder
ed at, that he 6houId not be permitted to trav
el through the French dominions, or that Lou
is Napoleon, should regard his conduct and
appointment as a national insult 1 With all
the facts before us we are inclined to think,
that the French Government have about as
much reason to feel "insulted' as we have.
Nevertheless, we are for our own country,
right, if it can be, '-but right or wrong, our
Countrv !"
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The numerous friends of Col. Curtin may
feel assured that his acceptance of the office
of Secretary of State, will in no manner com
promise his position as a candidate for the U.
S. Senate. lie is still a candidate, and in
justice to the friends who have so ardently ad
vocated his claims for that distinguished sta
tion, will temain so.
We have an ardent desire to see Col. Curtin
elected to the U. S. Senate. Not only be
cause he is a personal friend, but there is no
man in the State who could represent us with
more ability and honor, nor one who has
stronger claims to the position. His services
during the late contest, his character, stand
ing, and qualifications, all point to him as the
man. He is undoubtedly the candidate of the
people, and the election of any other man will
fail to give general satisfaction.
Does Chvrch Propertt Belong to the
Bisnop. We learn from the Cincinnatti Ga
zette, that a case involving this important
question is now before the Kenton county,
Ky. Circuit Court at Covington. The plain
tiffs are trustees elected by the congregation
of the German Catholic chur ch in Covington,
and desire to build a school house to front
with the church. The defendants are trustees
appointed by the Bishop in defiance ' of the
congregation, and were directed by him to
build the school house in the rear of the
church. " ' . -' ' : ' '
The two principal points at issue are: 1st.
Docs the Canon of the church give the Bish
op" absolutely the' powei of appointing trus
tees? ' ' '"
2d. Whether a deed or gift of property to
the Catholic Church "for pious uses, inclu
ded for the use of a school house.
' On the first point the canons of the church
and Decrees of the Plenary Council ; of Balti
more, were cited to show, that all . churches
are in the possession of the Bishop, and sub
ject to his authority, and that neither Priest
nor the .'faithful,"; arato appoint - trustees
without the authority : of . the Bishops. .; Two
Priests, Father Butler and Father Kuhr, tes
tified that such was their understanding of
the canons, and such was the common prac
tice of the Church.; c .-. - ,

THE NEWS,
,f , From the War. ?.-..""
' The Russians, to the number of thirty thou
sand, had attacked the ports of Balaklava, and
after a severe battle routed the English cavalry
with the loss of 500 horse. Other despatches
state that after hotly contested battle the
allies remained masters of the field. The news
is entirely obscure. The Russian despatches
say the allies have suffered two several defeats,
viz: the French had their works destroyed and
sixteen guns spiked, while the English cavalry
had been attacked at Balaklava, as above stated,
and routed with severe loss.
In the recent attack upon the forts at the
mouth of Sebastopol harbor, the vessels of the
allies were much damaged. The British are
said to be within 300 yards from the Russian
works. The French works are not strong
enough, and have been much injured. A de
serter stated that Bthe Russian loss was very
greats The supply of water was beginning to
fail in Sebastopol. .
Menschikoffhad gone out to meet a large
body of troops said to be advancing, in order
to expedite their movements as much as pos
sible. The Czar's two sons had arrived in the
Crimea. The reserve of the Imperial Guard,
numbering 30,000 men had received marching
orders, and would shortly move towards War
saw, their new head-quarters. On the arrival
of the Guards the total number of troops con
centrated on the Austrian frontier will num
bar 16G,000 men.
From England.
There has nothing transpired in England of
consequence. The Paris Constitutionnel has
along and temperately written editorial on the
friendly relations which should exist between
the United States and France, but which it
says are damaged by the indiscreet conduct of
Mr. Soule, whose acts the Constitutionnel
thinks are generally repudiated by the people
of the United States. The Paris correspon
dent of the London Times says: "I am in
formed that the French Government have in
their possession positive evidenc of the par
ticipation of Mr. Soule in some vast plan for
revolutionizing nearly the whole of Europe.
It is even added that those plans occupied the
attention of the 'diplomatic Congress at Os
tend." From the Sandwich Islands.
Just previous to our last advices, the British
Consul had secured an audiancc with the King,
and a messenger was forthwith dispatched for
Prince Alexander, by his order, for the imme
diate return of the Prince, and . every one in
the secrets of the Government, were confident
that the treaty would be signed in'a very few
days after his return; because, when he left on
his journey, the policy of the English Gov
ernment now developed, had not transpired;
and, as he depended upon the assistance of
that Government to avert annexation to the
United States, he will, it is belkvvd, on see
ing the . futility of that hope, no longer com
bat "destiny." Our readers may therefore,
very soon expect to be called upon to hail the
accession of this Island State to the American
Republic.
From Havana.
Considerable sensation was produced in Ha
vana by the announcement that the American
schooners 11. Smith and J. C. White, hailing
from New Providence, bad been seized at
Baracoa, with a large quantity of munitions of
war on board. Of course all sorts of rumors
were afloat respecting the intentions of these
vessels. Some ascribed their object t o be of a
filibustering character, and believed that the
arms had been sent out from the States to as
sist the patriots in overthrowing the govern
ment. Others alleged that the weapons came
from English "philanthropists." and were in
tended to be placed in the hands of the slaves,
in order that, by a preconcerted signal, they
might rise throughout the island and massa
cre their masters. Further information with
regard to this matter will be awaited with anx
iety. '
A reported outbreak at Principe had also
been the source of much excitement, but as
people arc not allowed to talk of such opera
tions, and the papers are not permitted to pub
lish any information that does not meet the
approbation of the authorities, nothing defin
ite was known respecting the affair. It is very
evident that the fire of discontent and revolu
ion is still raging in the breasts of the native
Cubans, and it is quite probable that we shall
hear of many outbreass before the close of the
coming winter. The military " force on' the
island, however, is too strong to warrant the
hope that the patriots can possibly meet with
any considable degree of success. ' Without
material aid from the United States, any open
exhibition that they may make will be speedi
ly quelled. ' '
From . California.
Great excitement existed still in regard to
the Meiggs frauds, and the apprehension of
Smyth Clark, late mayor's clerk, who is char
ged with having unlawfully detained in his
hands, sums amounting to $3000,000. He is
in custody. An examination has taken pface
without a satisfactory explanation as to this
much of the missing funds. . , ,
; Hamilton Bowie, late City Treasurer, has
also been arrested, charged with having fraud
ulently taken away books and papers, and
monies belonging to the treasury t in particu
lar, the sum of $336,000 T in city warrants,
which remained unaccounted for by him. His
defence was, that the newly elected treasurer
had not . complied with the. requisition of the
law, hence the withholding of the warrants.-
The cue has not yet been , decided. Addi-
tional forgeries by Meiggs 'have been discov-1
erea.
