The Philadelphia District Attorney Case. The Frauds Exposed—A day or two ago, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Judges of the Court authorized Mr. Williams, the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, together with the gentlemen appointed from each side, to count the tickets in the Second Ward, Moyamensing, and the Eeastenn District tif Penn. The duty was promptly discharged, mod we annex the result: The return or Second Ward, Moyamensing, gives Mr. ears 1097 votes, 'whereas the ballots give him but 1091 ; difference in - Mr. Reed's favor The same_return gives Mr. Reed 94 votes, ballots 98 ; difference, 4 The return of East Precinct, Penn. gives Mr. Kneass 447, while the ballots give but 877 ; difference in favor of Mr. Reed, SO The same return gives Mr. Reed 28. the bah lots 53 ; difference, - 27 The error in the addition in the ret urn of West Philadelphia,. 50 Total in favor of Wm.

Rxrzscx Commisitinicras.—We learn from Harr risburg that the Revenue Board of Commissioners adjourned Friday morning, after calling, in a body to pay their respects to the Governor. Their la burs which are - important and arduous, were com pleted some days within the period to which their sessions are limited by law. The total addition to the valuation of taxable Property in the State made by thepresent board is 86 8813,153, which will increase the income of the State some 82.2,000 annually. The total-In crease of taxable property in the three years. from 1848 to 1851. thus adjusted, is 829,858,371, yield ing about *95.000 revenue. The whole taxable property in the State in 1845 was $420,496,130—in 1848, $463.031.458, being an increase m three years of $42,735,328. The amount now reported by the Revenue Board is $492.889,829—the increase not coming up to that of the three preceeding years by e. 1 2 876. 9 5 7 . This falling off the board - attribute to the de pressed condition of the Iron business, and its influ ence upon the value of property in the common wealth.—North. American. _ Tax Bosrox REscee—We find in the Boston pa pers, says the North Ainerican, a letter from the Hon. Daniel Webster, the U. S. Secretary ot State, to the . Mayor of Boston, the by direction of the President, in answer to the resolutions passed by the Boston City Councils relative to the recent res cite there ~f a fugitive. It expresses gratification at the measures taken by the authorities of the -city - , as giving assuranets that no Similar outrages will be permitted there.'-,„ After alluding to the high respect which the President had always entertained for the city, the., the letter state , : that the President is confident that the great majority .of the citizens of Boston . . are ientirely loyal to the constitution, view those outr ges with indignation, and are ready to obey the aws. The writer observes that if - this event shat arouse the attention of all gocd citizens to a sen of the dangers to be apprehended from the incu cation' of such doctrines as have been spread abroad in the country, tending to shake the' au thority of all law, to unsettle societv,• and to ab solve men from all civil and moral obligations, and shall put them on their guard against the further dpfusion of such pernicious sentiments, it may, in the end, be prOductitre of happy results." The letter concludes with the following para graph: The President does not dnnbt that the people of / Massaehus '.ts perfectly well understand the differ ence betw en the freest tiiscussion of political measures a d opposition to !egad enactments al ready mad and established. He is quite sure that - they r ,gard the law orthe land not as a sen timent, or an opinion; bat as a rule of conduct pre scribed. by the general authority. and which all are bound to obey, at the risk of the penalties attached in its violation.

John P. Hale, then a pupular Member of Congress and a candidate on the regular ticket for re-elec tion, hesitated and hung back. He wanted to vote with his party without utterly coming to a rupture with his cousciente. He asked that the Territory of Texts be divided, and the less desirable, unin habited, less fertile, Indian-traversed;half conceded to Free Labor. But Slavery Extension was then riding its high horse, with Tyler in the White House, Polk chosen to succeed him, and a tho riiughly subservient Cunt ess. and it spurned the idea of Compromise. 'lt went for the whole. Mr. Hale refused to vote for the measure, and appealed to bin constituents, offering to resign if they wz,hed it He was taken at his word by the party lead ers, and his name stricken from the tteket. He took „tut appeal 4o the People; the regulars suc-- ceede'd at the Election just at hand.excrpt as to his seat in Congress, for which there-was no choice, and it remained unfilled, though several trials to elect were made—au absolute majority being re quisite to an election. At the next Election (March, 1840,) the regulars were beaten. There was no choice uf Governor by the People, but the Whig-sand • independent (Hale] Democrats' combined had a-clear majority in the Legislature, tilled the vacancies in the Senate after their own heart, chose Anthony Colby I Whig] Guy. ernor, elected Mr. Hale to the C. S. Senate, tilled all the offices as they thought best, and (for the first time) Districted the State fur the choice of Members of Congress. This they did fairly and justly, making each Dis trict compact, and the four nearly equal in popula tion, without breaking Courtty hoes. The two lower Districts were Whig and Independent by , sumil majorities; the two upper gave larger ma jorities the other way ; but no one could say that the divisiox was not fair and natural. file vigor of the lndlependene movement was exhausted by its success. The State relapsed -next year (l 847) Into the baud ut the regulars, het the two lower Districts finally elected Messrs. Tuck and Wilson ( Whig and •lodependent) to Congress by small majorities, and they were in like manner re-elected in 1b49. The regulars of course saw this with little com placency. They had resisted and nulitied the act ut Congress requiring the choice of Members from each State to be made- by,,aingle Districts, fearing -that they could not deititie4liit'State so as to secure the Whole, But the DhiKitinz. had been effected, was popular, and coehincit well be repealed. since every State had by this time, conformed to the tricting requisition: But they resolved to niter th, Listrict.t . , so that they could carry them ail Tice thing etas ease en ugh on paper. Messrs. Tuck and Wilson Ibid been elected and reelected by some three hundred idajority each in their several Dist.kcts. Several id the .trtatgeNt holds of the regulars lay temptingly conveah nt to the lines of their Districts, though on the wrung side. It was only necessary to add on to each ul the lower Dis tricts towns giving tire or sm . hunched majority for -theregulars, and tha job was dune. The leaders decreed. ipid the Leitslaiure registered the edict. In effecting this ;party object, no terms were kept with Principle,ino regard had fur appearances even. It would noun-ally be expected that aLe gislature attempting to remodel Districts out of season would study "1.43 render them more equal in population, ur at le.* not glaiuigly less so. But in this case, while county tines (before respected) were cut across, the pcip&ation of the several I >is tncts was rendered far more unequal than it had been. Some thousands ut inhabitants were ab stracted from the two District: having the less and added to those having the greater uumber of in habitants! Gen. Wilson soon resigned his seat, and a Special Election fur the vacancy was ordered. Our. Dins moor directed that it should he tilled, not by the District which elected Gem - W.151A by that which the 'Legislature had since formeii ! "rhos a num ber of towns already represented by a Member whom they had sladed in electing; were invited to participate in ;noosing another Meinber of the same House, to sit beside him they had already chosen ! And the machinery thus adjusted performed its predestined work. Jared Perkins (Free Soil- W log) was chosen by the old District, but the hddeu overbore this choice and returned Geo. Vb. Morris son, regular. Mr. Peri:ins appealed to the .11,use; but, by substantially a party vote, it Was decided that Mr, Atorrisuo should keep the seat. It now seemed obvious that the object of the Gerryman dering would be effected two four regulars returned t 0 . 71,40 ~.nest Congress. But the Atwood development here intervened to upset the nicest calculations. Our readers have been - advised of - its progress, and do not need a re capitulation. Suffice it that Itev, Jolla Atwood of New Boston, who had been a serviceable party hack in former years, and bad been rewarded there for by a respectable olike under.the State Gutrit mein, was, regularly nominated us tile • Democratic' candidate fur Guveruor, and was supported as such by the party audits 1410111;tis daoughout the Suite. but in 'January a letter lona his p....a in a pa per of suspicious orthodoxy, indicating hostility to the 1%14i ti ve Slit re Law. Mr. A. was forthwith SULU laulled CO a concave of the party ma hem rthd s compelled to sign a recantation ot the rieWsl4.l*M talihtti in that letter: But he had hardly'lniss‘d out of their sight when he r anted his recantation, and thus has ever since ref' anted au open txritte.ta nur of Lite blase catch/11;01w. lieretpurr the Con vention which nominated him was recalled, and Mr. Atwood deprived uf his nomination by a vote of 294 to S. 'to give the act all due emphasis, a clergyman of his own sect (Baptist).was chosen to move his repudiation. Froth this judgement Mr. A. appealed to the People, and a lively canvass sprung up. The result,is a vif,tual and e.dective condemnation of the party wire-workeiv. Mr. At wood has lost the .tiovernorship by speaking his mind of the Fugitive Slave Law, but a vote prpves that a majority of the l'eople are with him on that subject—the - Whig.cauditlate and Alr.A. having some i 2,500 ma d rity over Mr. Dinsmour, the present (I-overt:am a d lien/ter nominee fur reelection, tho' the latter ill probably be chosen by the Legisla- Inre.

They have tiled upon next Monday as the day to elect a:Sen ator to the seat of Cohyretnunt, after the 4th of March next. Some believe Mr. King will be elec ted—stane Mr. ilaydenfeldt—while others have growing faith in Mr. Fremont's' succep, in whose favor then: has beeti an undoubted reaction un the part of many. The health of the state in of the most glorious description. There are scarce guy deaths or .aich <Bess iu any part of the State. The excitement about the gold bluffs has not died out, but . much subsided. It yet remains for the, companies engaged there to . prove •whether the amount of gold there can be made profitable to them. The lilamoth, Scott's river end other localities in the extrenie north of the State, -seem to bear the palm in the Stith of our people in their richness. The expeditions sent to the Colorado river are_ progressing in their purposes. Lieut. Derby has passed up the gulf and some distance up the river, and Major //enitzelnian's command i 6 also at the nvet. Uur State laws baying been found inadequate to We wants of some localities, the people have been dispensing justice under the code of Judge Lynch. The Legislature has passed the loan bill for raising a loan not to exceed $5 . 00,000. it is not very prubable that-anything can be negutiatcd un der this or any other act, unless some measures are found to raise the present credit of the State. The question of divorce laws has occupied no little attention of the Legislature,.and of the peo ple. Bow it will terminate in the Legislature can not yet be ascertained. There is a strong feeling both in and out of that body against all laws grant inm° divorces. Business, which has been excessively dull, seems at lat.-t receiving. Nut a :lake of snow has fallen the past win ter at Nevada city Rough and Ready. '1 he moun tains contiguous are covered with a 'slight fall, w hich is fast melting under the influence, of a bright i•un. Rich digging are said to have been IdiscovEred near Bear river. The gold is taken from decom ro,.ed granite, near Steep hollow, of) says the limes. The Times says, of thirteen minersi who have been \corking for a yearn Feather ricer, at Lung's Bar, have averaged $3150. The aura made by ally one person is .$.5440. Continuous. labor is the only Surety hf success in the Placers. At Reddim-s di7gings the miners hav6 net made. more than three dollars a day, and are. at prbsent not making much more than their hoard. At Spanish Bar, middle fork of American river, the miners are said to have been successful. The whole State has been agitated by the de cisions the Supreme Court has lately . made about land titles, and the indignation of the peo ple has been manifested in the Smith and East. bill is before the Legislature making all Al calde grants proof of possession. A number of murderihave been committed on the Isthmus, and seven bodies have been ,seen at one time. An unqucce=sful attempt has been made to rob the express train. Later front' Europe. Arrival Sti•antshi ps Franklin and Asia . . The C. S. mail steamer Franklin, Capt. Wotton from llavre and Cowes, arrird at. New York on Saturday afternoon, bringing, f/ay.re dates to the 7th, and London to the Bth inst. The steamship Artie, from LiterpoolBth March, arrived at New York slimily evening. By these arrii als we have one week's later in telligence from all parts of Europe. The ministerial. crisis in England hadterminated by the, re_sturation of the Russel ministry, bit there is little probability of its lasting long._ The U. S. frigate St. Lawrence, Commander Sands, with the American contibutions to the Great Exhibition in London, Alias hourly expected at Southampton when the Fniklin sailed. A grand banquet was to be given on . the 19th of March to J. R. Cruskev, Esq., the American Con sul at Soutlumpton, by the Mayor and Cjrporation. His Excellency, Mr Abbott Lawrence, was to be present, and the-officers of the St. Lawrence, were to be invited. Her majesty Queen Vietoria arrived at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, just before the, Franklin,left Cowes. The Franklin saluted-the royal-yacht with twenty-one guns us sliP passed. 'the brig Aspia had arrived in the kersey, from Constantinople, with 562 Htistririan refugees:— They consist chiefly of Poles, ',nixed with Italians and Hungarians. x Mr. J. F. Stanford has g iven notice that lie will move, in the' House of Commons, that the Papal Aggression lull of Lord John Russel be referred to a joint com ittee, selected from both houses, and that no fur r progress he made in the matter until that co en has made its report. The news from Rome-is of a very contradictory character, evidently colored according-to the , rious predilections of the writers.. Ai far. as we can judge, the pope and the Propagandaseem very little disturbed about the proposed legislation un the napal aggression.
