STATE SENATOR.
Tho prospects of Col. Hall, our candidate
for the State Senate, we are glad to say, are
brightening every day, and give promise of
his triumphant election on the second Tues
day ot October. All the Opposition papers in
the district the Tyrone Star, the Altoona
Tribune, the Hollidaysburg Register, Blair
County Whig, Cambria Tribune, the Mlegha
nian, the new paper at Ebcnsburg, and, as a
matter of course, our own journal are advo
cating his election. Whilst in his own county
he will have an immense majority, wo believe
his competitor, though he may run sonic ahead
of his ticket in Cambria, will scarcely have
the usual party majority in that and this coun
ty together.
The office of State Senator is one of impor
tance and responsibility, and the people of the
district should see to it that they select the
best and most competent of the candidates to
fill the station. Whether Mr. Durbin, the Lo
cofoco candidate, has the capacity and quali
fications that the position would seem to de
raand, we are not prepared to say. That Mr.
Uall is well fitted for the ofTice, is generally
conceded, and that he is better qualified and
more competent than his competitor, is a fact
that, we think, many of his enemies are
foreed to acknowledge.
In this view of the case, voters will have
little difficulty in deciding whom they should
support at the election this fall.
Brodekick axd Gwix. The struggle in
California between the two wings of the De
mocracy is marked by personalities and a
fierceness seldom witnessed in American pol
itics. Senator Brodcrick leads the Anti-Le-compton
Democrats, and his onslaughts on
Senator Gwin, Latham, candidate for Gover
ner, and other Buchanan leaders in the State,
are bitter in the extreme. Gwin, Latham and
others, retort with personalities that under
ordinary circumstances would lead to duels
and street fights by the dozens. But Broder
ick, though acknowledging tho code, will not
accept a challenge pending the election. A
mong other things Broderick publicly charges
Gwin in his speeches with having been the
paid agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany ; and accuses him of having supported
the 30,000,000 secret fund bill, when ho
knew it was the intention to use the money
as a corruption fund, in order to carry the
next Presidential election ; either to elect
Buchanan, or Slidell of Louisiaua, with whom
he co-operated in the U. S. Senate.
The law-abiding citizens of Baltimore had a
great meeting in Monument square on the 8th
inst., at which an address, calling upon the
authorities to preserve order in that rowdy
ridden city, was adopted, and a number of ap
propriate speeches made. Some "Regula
tors" attempted to interrupt the speakers,
and, after the adjournment, took possession of
the platform, but the police took fifteen of
them to jail, a thing almost unheard of, in the
Monumental city, before.
True to the instincts of its nature, the Hy
ena organ up-street, in its last issue, makes a
snap at us. It intimates plainly that we
were "concerned in a beheme by which a
Clearfield county Republican was cheated out
of the nomination for Senator," and we say
just as plainly that this is false there was no
"cheating" about it. The object of the lie
jrublican is so palpable that its effort sinks even
beneath the standard of silliness.
The Farmer and Gardener is the title of a

articles. , . -

The Missouri Democrat has gone and said it,

HO"W SOME THUGS ARE EONE.
For years past it has been the practice of
members of Congress who had a great deal of
franking to do to employ a confidential clerk
to sign their name on . franked envelopes.
The signatures thus made were avowed and
acknowledged by the member, and the Post
master at Washington never hesitated, on re
ceiving this acknowledgment, to send off the
documents so franked. This course has been
adopted by all the leading democrats, as well
as by leading members of the opposition.
On the 2d of this month, the Republican
Committee at Washington sent to the Post
Office an immense quantity of documents, un
der the frank of Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania,
one of their number. Postmaster Jones ta
booed the whole lot, under the pretence that
the frank was not in Mr. Covode's own hand
writing. Mr. Covode was on hand and ac
knowledged the frank, but Mr. Jones still re
fused to send the documents.
Mr. Covode thereupon appealed to Post
master General Holt. He was attending a
meeting of the Cabinet, and First Assistant
King declined to decide till after a conference
with him. Subsequently the Post Office De
partment decided that the Republican docu
ments could not go because some of them
were admitted to have been franked by a
clerk.
Ko objection was made by Mr. Jones until
he ascertained that the documents were inten
ded for Minnesota. There is a warm and
doubtful contest going on in that State, and as
Gov. Sibley was then in Washington he was
sent for, and it was doubtless upon his advice
that this trick was hit upon of keeping the
documents from being sent oft. It would nev
er do, the Governor probably argued, to per
mit these documents to have circulation in
Minnesota; it would defeat the democratic
party ; and Postmaster General Holt, true to
the instinct of locofocoism. hunted up a flim
sy and false excuse for the purpose of exclu
ding them. The practice, for long years past,
has been to send oil all such documents.
The question about the validity of the frank
has never been raised till now, and would not
have been raised now, but for the existence
of a party necessity lor keeping Republican
documents out of circulation.
During the year 1856 the country was flood
ed with locofoco documents franked by
clerks; and we venture to say that the rule
never has been and never will be enlorced
against democratic documents franked in this
way.
A Mean and Heartless Swindle. The
New York and Philadelphia papers contain an
account of one of the meanest swindles ever
1 heard of. A fellow came to Philadelphia
some time ago, and advertised for a number
of young ladies to go South to fill situations
as teachers of music. Fifteen young women
were accepted by the advertiser. Thoy were
to have remunerative employment in the fam
ilies of wealthy Southern planters, and in ev
ery respect their future prospects were of the
most flattering description. It was simply
stipulated by the advertiser that the ladies
should defray in part their expenses to their
respective destinations. On arriving in New
York, fa route for the South, the sharper took
charge of the baggage of the ladies, collected
from them about one hundred and fifty dollars
for their fare in the steamship, and while they
were waiting patiently a the hotel for him to
conduct them on board, he decamped with
his plunder. A pick pocket is a hero com
paied with such a rascal, and we are pleased
to be atde to state that he was arrested at
Washington city on Friday a week,and will no
doubt meet hisjust deserts.
"A Sensation Document." The Cincin
nati Commercial publishes a long and extreme
ly "highfalutin"' letter, which it justly charac
terizes "a sensation document," from Gen.
Ogilvie Byron Young, of Cape Girardeau,
Mo., to Senator Douglas, urging htm to run
as an independent candidate for the Presiden
cy in case the Charleston Convention should
not make him a regular candidate. Says
General Ogilvie Byron Voting, "The great
popular heart pulsates for you h ith the wildest
diastoles of gratitude and admiration !" Gen
eral Ogilvie Byron Young, calls the Charles
ton Convention "an unnatural and unnational
monster." G. O. B. Y. opines that if Doug
las does not accede to his request he will
"like laocoon of old, have to behold the mur
dered spirit of Librty bound in the clankless
coils ot the merciless hydra Disunion."
Tue New Steam Plow. Tho Steam plow of
Mr. rawkes. ot Christina, Ia., consists of
eight very large and deep plowshares,attached
to the engine b3 chains, and arranged so as to
be raised or lowered in a few seconds, as the
person guiding the machine may wish. It is
of thirty horse power, and weighs seven tons,
being the largest size that can be well con
structed for any practical purpose. It can
plow either up or down hill with great facility.
The furrows are very deep and regular, so
much as to excite the admiration of several
veteran farmers, who were present ; and rub
bed their hands as they looked at the machine
making such sad havoc with the soil. It plow
ed up one acre in twelve minutes, turns in a
small circle, backs, and is easily and entire
ly manageable for all practical ends.
Work foe: tue Next Congress. The Na
tional Legislature, at its next session, will
have considerable service to peiform in the
way of creating new governments, State and
Territorial. No less than four Territories
and two States will ask recognition. The peo
ple of Southern Nebraska, disappointed in
gaining annexation to Kansas, arc moving for
a State Government. The Governor is about
to call an extra session of the. Legislature that
the work may be regularly commenced.
They intend to apply for admission in compa
ny with Kansas. In addition, the people of
Jefferson, Arizona, Dacotah and Nevada, are
also anxious for Territorial Governments.
Ex Governor Davii II. Portek, of this
State has been elected Vice President of the
Sabine and Rio Grande Railroad Company,
and designs leaving for Texas in the course of
a month or two, to enter upon the duties of
his office. Oliver Barnes, Esq., is the Chief
Engineer. He was an assistant Engineer on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and is well
avorably known to the contractors of
this Mate, many of whom are seeking em
ployment and win doubtless be glad to go
with him to Texas.
Mr. Leslie, the swindler of the Philadelphia
music teachers has been taken from Wash
ington to the former place- The bold and
novel swindle perpetrated by this fenow h
made him a lion. The gallant authorities of
New York and Philadelphia nearly quarrelled
as to who should have the honor of putting
him through the legal mill. His chances for
a good long term in the Eastern Penitentiary
are most excellent.

THE TONNAGE TAX SUIT
This suit lias been decided against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. It came up on
an appeal by the Company from a settlement
made by the Auditor General and State Treas
urer with the company, by which they were
found indebted to the State in the sum of
$87,000 for a period of five months up to the
first of November last for tonnage passing
over the road f rom Harrisburg to Philadelphia.
The Railroad Company contended that they
are not liable to pay tax on goods coming
from another State and passing through this,
and also that the law imposing this tax is un
constitutional. The decision of the Court
by Judge Pierson against the Company,
seems to rest upon the ground that the com
pany are not the proper parties to contest the
constitutionality of the law. The proper par
tics to contest it arc those to whom the goods
belong, who are affected by the State tax.
The Railroad Company is not so affected. It
collects tho tax only, and by its contract with
the State, is bound to pay it over to the State
Treasury. The tax does not belong to it, and
therefore it could not withhold it. This de
cision, though it may correctly establish the
relations existing between the railroad com
pany as a corporation and the State itself,
which ave it its franchises, does not settle
the constitutionality of the tonnage tax. The
Supremo Court seems to imply that there
would be another aspect to the case, if" the
party contesting was a citizen of another
State, whose goods while passing through
Pennsylvania, were subjected to the tonnage
tax. The case will doubtless go to the U. S.
Supreme Court, to settle the constitutional
question which arises under the clause of the
Federal constitution, wljich says, "wo State
shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any
duty on tonnage."
Brave Gibls. Two little children, Alice
and Mary Welsh, aged respectively niue aud
twelve years, arrived at Hannibal, Missouri, a
day or two ago, having accomplished the
whole journey f rom Ireland without any other
protection than their helplessness and their
own brave hearts. Their father had preceded
them by a year or more, and having acquired
a home here, wrote to the old country lor his
family. On the eve of their departure the
mother fell sick and died, and the little girls
nothing disheartened, set out alone on their
long and perilousjourncy half round the world.
All honor to the little heroines!
A Newburypori paper takes credit for that
town in this regard : "Among the notable men
who were bom or who have lived in Newbury

Harvard College ; Col. Albert Pike, the ec

Advertise! Everybody who desires busi
ness should advertise. There is no mistake
about it. Hear what Stephen Girard has said
on the subject : "I have always 'considered
advertising liberally and long to.be the
great medium of success in business, ard the
prelude to wealth. And I have made it an in
variable rule, too, to advertise in the dullest
time, a long experience having taught me that
money thus spent is well invested, as by keep
ing my business continually before the public,
has secured mc many sales that I otherwise
would have lost."
An Affinity in Short Sleeves. John W.
Crossman, agass-fitter and spiritualist, of Sar

leaving behind him an estimable lady, and ad
ded bigamy to the impropriety by marrying
the girl in Philadelphia. For some time past
Crossman has been addicted to gambling, and
has neglected . bis family almost entirely.
Barn VM is said actually to have offered Mr.
Spurgeon, the celebrated English Baptist
preacher, .2,000 a year to come to America
and make a lecturing tour. Mr. Spurgeon re
plied by writing simply "Acts xiii, 10," and
sending it to Barnum. The verse reads thus:
"O, full of subtlety and all mischief, thou
child of the devil, wilt thou not cease to per
vert the right ways of the Lord?"
A Potter County, Pa., paper says that a Mr.
