t J EFFE R S ON IAN R E P V BL1 C AN. llmiv k-j wrnn-i in iixntoaaiii-n HARRISBURG NE3VS. Correspondence of the Daily Chronicle. April 8, 1843. Impeachment of William Qccrfiv W. -In the House, Mr. Sharawood, from the Select Com mittee appointed to prepare articles of impeach ment, against William Overfield, one of the Canal Commissioner, for an alleged attempt to bribe John Hill, a member of the Legislature from the county of Armstrong, to vote to sus tain the Governor's veto of the bill providing for ttie election of Canal Commissioners, re ported two several articles containing in due form the 'substance- of the -above charge the iufbe alleged, being the offer of the office of Collector of Tolls on he Western Division of the Pennsylvania Canal at Freeport, to any person whom Ak. Hill might name. Thu articles having been read, Mr. Deford moved to postpone the whole subject indefi nitely. Mr. Stiarswood opposed the motion, nd .poke some time in delence of the report. Mr. Koumfort spoke to the like effect, com menting severely on the conduct of the Execu tive, as well as that of the Canal Commission ers. Mr. Deford took the flour in defence of his motion, alleging that it would be proper to "reprimand" Air. Uvetfield for this outrageous attempt to corrupt the fountains of law, and de fending the Executive. Whilst he was on ihe floor, the House was thrown into an uproar by the occurrence of the following DISGRACEFUL SCENE. At this mo ment a scuffle was witnessed on the floor of ihe House, near ihe 'eastern fireplace, between Mr. McGowan, a member of the House from ihe county of Philadelphia, and Mr. J. B. Brailon, editor of the ,c State Capitol Gazette," which threatened to be of a serious character, throw ing the whole House into confusion and uproar. 1 will give the facts and circumstances as nearly as I can from the contradictory statements, not having seen the affray myself. Mr. McGowan went up to Mr. Bralton with the " Gazette" in his hand, and demanded of liim whether he was the author of the following rtielein thai paper of yesterday, viz: "YOU SHALL BOTH HAVE OFFICE IN THE CUSTOM HOUSE IF YOU VOTE FOR THE TYLER CANDIDATE FOR "STATE PRINTER," as I. Porter Brawley said to McGowan and Baco.v. " Ajjrced," was ihe response aiid they did vol for him sure enough. In our next we shall hdd tip to tlic public gsze every man who lias been bribed." Mr. Bratton replied that he was the author of the aiticle. Mr. McGoweu then either spit, or struck in his face, and Mr. B. resented. Mr. McG. then took up a chair and siruck B. over the- head and bruised his head and face con ideratIy. B. or.om one else then wrested the chair out of Mr.'s hand, and in a moment xhv. cry in she haii was, he (McG ) has got a knife!" Mr. B. then repeated behind the Speakei's chair, and was pursued by McG. with a dirk lit his (Mc.V) hand, iu the other side of the House. In the meantime, the Speaker had t -ailed on ;he Sergeani-al-arms to keep order in the hall, and one of the assistants succeeded in nrrt-Mmg him iu his pursuit, but not until he 1 i.id math: an ovethttnded lhrust with his dirk at " Mr. B, which struck him somewhere on the fthoulder blade, wjih sul-h violence as to bend ths point of the w eapon, in various directions, an inch and a half from the end. The dirk is four or six inches long, with a heavy handle, liht, sharp-pointed blade, and a scabbord. Mr. B saw him draw it from his bosom and thought it was a pi-ool. Mr. McG. ivas then detained, whilst Mr. Juration went out or the House, whence he pro ceeded to his residence. Fortunately for both (arlie, 1 beliere he is not dangerously wound c.5, though he is considerably bruised on the head and face with the chair, and of course is cm and somewhat lacerated on the shoulder. Mr. McG. appeared terribly excited, and held up ihe dirk in his hand for some time after the occurrence took place. It was then taken from him. and is now in the custody of a member of the House. As soon as order had been restored in the Hall, the Impeachment quesiion was postponed, and Mr. Deford offered a resolution, that a Se Ject Committee be appoinied to inquire inio the facts and report the same to the House which was agreed to and the Speaker appointed Messrs. Deford, Elwell, Morris, Halm and Skinner, said Committee. Mnch excitement wan produced, not only in the House, but all over town, by the occur rence. Nothing else was talked of, scarcely, awl die members seemed to have little relish for the transaction of sober business, though name was subsequently disposed of, which I tdiall speak of directly. Shortly after Mr. Bralton had gone down town, one of the constables appeared at the door of the House, with a warrant for Mr. Mc Gowan, and being about to enter, the Sergcant-at-Arms thul the door, and would not permit him to come within the bar. But on being ap prised of the fact, Mr. McGowan went out, voluntarily, and accompanied the officer to the fficr of the Justice, where he was bound over to answer the charge of assault and battery, at the next Sessions, to be held here. on the 17ih instant. If the blow from the dirk had been received a single inch lower down, in all prob ability Mr. B. would have forfeited his life for the publication. Senate. The Report of the Committee of Conference on tho bill for the sale of the Dela ware Canal, which was adopted in the House yemerday, was agreed to by the Senate to-day, knd the biU.ej)t lo the Governor.

The youug man Connah, or Connor, w hose theft of jewels from a grave we mentioned some lin.e since, pleaded guilty to the charge on the 17th. But a difficult question has arisen con cerning the measure of punishment, or, indeed, whether the law has provided any punishment al all for the offence. It appears that the heir of Madame Tertian, with whose corpstj the jewels were buried, sold the land in which the tomb was constructed some years ago, and that the person to whom he sold il is now dead. Now the question is, who has been wronged by the robbery of the jewels? Not Madame Tertian, surely, for she is dead; not her heir, for he sold the tomb and its contents. Had tho State a properly interest in the jewels? And if it had not, could it prosecnie for the robbery? The whole quesiion w as to bo argued before the Court, on the motion to pass sentence.

WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY. ALL Persons insuring in this company aro members equally interested in its welfare and in the election of its officers. In order to become a member of this company and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre mium note, the amount of which is in proportion to tho amount to be insured, and its degree of hazard, thus: If $100fis to be insured, at 5 per cent., he gives his note forS50. If at 10 per cent, he gives his note for $100, and in, that proportion for a greater or less sum, according to the rate of hazard, on which note he advances 6 per cent, and an additional sum of $1 50 for survoy and policy. He then becomes a member on tho approval of his application and is insured for five years. The aggregate of the premium notes constitutes tho cash fund, chargable first, with the expenses, and second, with the losses of the Company; and should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and expenses the money to meet the losses, (should any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in corporation, apdipaid. An assessment is then made to repay kuth loan upon the premium notes, in proportion to their respective amounts, and ih no case to be made but once a year, notwithstanding several losses may happen. vAt tho expiration of .five yeathc note, if any assessments hav Ijjqon .nnadqgrtnd paid, is given, up, and the insured--may renety fiis application. Policies may at any timo be assigned or sur rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes given up, according to tho by-laws of tho Com pany. - No more than three fourths of the casli value of any property will be insured, and all great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder Mills, Distilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories, for Printer's Ink, and all establishments, of the samo class of hazards, are not insured upon any conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken over $5000, it is considered much more safe and less expensive than in Stock companies, where they insure large amounts and hazardous property.
