Redaction of Postage
Th 6 tilde Senate passed, almost unanlinous
ly, on last Saturday a week, resolutions favora
ble to the redriction of postage. One of • the
resolutions is that the reduction of the present
rates of pbsiage to uniform rates of two cents
for a letter weighing half an ounce, and
two cents for every additional half an ounce
prepaid; and the free transmission of newspa
pers through the mails, in the counties In which
they are respectively published, would it is be.
lieved, afford sufficient - revenues to sustain the
Post•Ofce Department, and greatly promote
and extend its usefulness.
Another requests our &agora and Repro
contativee In Congress, to use their influence
in procuring the passage of a low providing for
a reduction to the rates specified above.
We age gratified with this proper and popu
lar movement, made without refiirence to par
ty .• 7t
_will be apyroved whole people,
and we trust will have some influence upon
the action of Congress. Every man, no mat
ter in what business he is engage ,or whether
be is engaged in any, is interested in the pro
posed reduction. To the merchant and ethers
extensively interested in business; postage ie
, an important, and sometimes en enormoas ex
pense, and to thepoor man who can only af•
ford to take one or two newspapers it is a tax.
More Hasty Legislation Corrected,
We learn from 'the 'Harrisburg Telegraph
that, after more than one hundred days of
anxious incubation, the Locofocos of the Leg
islature have succeededin hatching a purely
Locofoco bank bill : and as Boon as the young
crocodile wee fairly out of the shell, they sent
it to the Governor, for his approvah But on
➢londay the unanimous consent of the Senate'
and House was asked and aimed to insert
in ono section of the bill, the words 'per an-
EMS
There was something so novel in the matter
that we made some inquiry into it, and found
that after the bill had been handed to the Go
vernor, on examining it, he found that all
Banks by its provisions were only required to
pay a tax of four and. a half mills on every
dollar, for the whore fifteen years of their char
ter!!
Governor Johnston immediately sent the bill
back to the Comparing Committee, that it
might be ascertained if some error had not
been committed In the transcribing. Upon ex
amination it was found that no error had been
committed, and this fatal error was found_ to
be incorporated into the bill, by this unrelent
ing anti•bank Legislature. What was to be
done? Tho GoVernor had pointed out the
error, and Laird's egg was in danger. To es
cape from' the dilemma of another veto, with
the expps_ure,. that would. follow,_the only may
was to make the amendment by unanimous
convent..
Thus by the care and attention of Governor
Johnston, hundreds of thousands of dollars
were saved to the State, and Hie' !legislature
aaved•from the odium and conteT t it# In passing
a bill with such an absurd provision. ac
knowledgenyintvf their own caielessness, and
of the usgakity- and wisdom of the Goviroor,
both Houses by unanimous:consent inserted
tho words 'per annum,' and thus made a year
ly tax on Banks, which by the bill was paya
ble only once in fifteen yearsovhile every tax
payer is obliged to pay annually.
Tux Cannvxr,—The Washington correeirion ,
dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, says, under
date of the 13th inst. 'Rumors of a dissolution
of the Cabinet still Continue to find place in the
Locofoco papers, and one or two Whig papers
also.' I do not •believe, with the exception of
the contemplated retirement of Mr. Crawford,
that there is a particle of truth, in any of them.
Mr. Clayton, at' the present t moment, stands
firmer in his position of Secretary offitate than
be ever did, and his triumph as a diplomatist,
when his acts shall have been made public, will
be fully and universally acknowledged by eve
ry impartial mind. A system of contemptible
persecution, and falsehood has been organized
against him, more perhaps than any other mem
ber of the Cabinet, and it is for that reason, I
take peculiar pleadure in witnessing the .vindi.
cation, which truth seldom fails in achibving.
TER CUBAN EXPEDITION.—There seems to
be little doubt that an expedition destined for
Cuba is in progress of organization, but the
details, place of.,rendszvoue, Sze., are yet a mys
tery. The papers of the west contain frequent
mention of the movements of fragments of the
force toward New Orleins, and tho Louisville
papers say at least four hundred men have left
that state to join the expedition. The names
of Gen. Loin and Gen. Shields are mixed up
in the affair, and here : and there an intimation
is thtown out that Chagree is the point of con
centration. Meantime the island of Cuba is in
a perfect fermentedreading the • invesion, - and
the strictest watch is kept over all comers and
goers.
MORE AINZIAT/ON Paormr.D.—There was
an importeitt debate in the New ; Brunswick

The above bill is rather fairer tharri the oth
er, but it is ctill obnoxious to the Baer objec
tions that invoked the Governor'sortito. It gives
the whiga 35 members of the 'House, and se
cures the balance to the . locofocos. It also
gives_to_the. whiga.l4_l3enators, proiridirig they_
take two doubtful onesomd to the Leedom!

This is not such a bill as 'the Constitution re
quires; nor ; one that can be thrust upon the peo
ple without arousing their indignation or exci
ting a spirit of revenge.
A great many efforts were made by the
Whig. to amend the bill in the Senate, so as to
make something like a fair apportionment; but
as the whole matter had been arranged In cau
cus again the night before, they wore nut lis
tened to; and only entertained at all,bscause
the ma of business required it. -
"The only amendments adopted by the Sen
ate were; to add Warren to the Troga, Potter,
McKean, Elk and Jefferson district—Craw
ford to Mercer and Venanio—lo unite the
Westmoreland and the Bedford; Somerset and
Fayette dlstricts—and to leave Erie, with her
little over 8000 taxables, but little more than
half the ratio adopted in the bill, to stand a
lone.
The gross inequalities of this 'bill are nearly,
if not quite as numerous,:as those of the other.

what we witnessed without own eyes has come
to pass.
"As to whom - the fault of this particular
transaction is ascribable is a comparatively bn
important inquiry to the fact that transpired
at all. We shall not pass judgment in the
matter, as it has been referred to a committee
for examination and report. But we cannot
omit an occasion so appropriate to condemn an
intemperate style of pailiamentary discussion,
of which this humiliating spectacle is a legiti
mate consequence. It scarcely exceeded in
violence many of the debates which preceded
it; but the fruit• is more palpable to the under

telligence will be regarded every where, a care
ful scanning of the debates which have taken
place 'during. thia,Bioc•rwill create surprise
that-the-like-has - not (incurred before."
We give below/so much of the debate as
comprises an account of the personal conflict :
Mr. Foote arose to'address the Senate.
The Vice President reminded, him that the
question before , the Senate was upon the appeal,
and suggested that he confine himself to that
pdint. . ,
Mr. Foote declared his design to proceed to
order. He had endeavored to avoid disunion,
as the Senate would bear witness. He felt that
the time had come when patriots should Write
for the purpose of saving the republic from the
danger which threatened It. It was well know
that he would not, after circumstances which
had occurred, here condescend to notice any
thing coming from a Certain quarter, (Benton,)
if it were not that an unjustifiable attack had'
been made upon a'measure with which himself
and other gentlemen, were identified—theTSdff
there address—Whieh many of them had been
proud to sign. The history of that address had
been a glorious one, and would live in the es
teem of patriots in the future, when those who
Impugned it should long have been forgotteo.--
Who was its author? The Senator from South
Carolina, over whose death the nation now
mourned; and `
who elm i a attempted to un
'pugn that address, and to designate those who
signed• it, as agitators? It was an individual
known as the oldest member of the Senate.—
Mr. Foote was proceeding with some sarcastic
or pungent remarks, evidently in allusion to
Mr. Benton, but had said nothing sufficiently
open and offensive to justify the Chair in calling
him to order, when Mr. Benton rose,-much agi
tated, and throwing his chair from him, pro
ceeded by 'the narrow passage outside of the
bar, towards Mr. Foote's seat, Which is °lithe.
outside row of seals, near the main entrance- to
the Senate. . '
Mr. Dodge of lowa, and Mr Dodge of Wis
consin, and others, apprehending a collision be
tween Mr. Ben/on and Mr. Foote 'endeavored
to detain the former from moving from his seat.
Overcoming all resistance, ho continued to
wards Mu-Foote, who leaving his place, step
ped down the main aisle, and took a position• iii
the urea just in front of tee Sergeant-at-Arms'
seat, at the right of the Vice President, at the
same time drawing a pistol from his bosom and
cocking it.
The scene which ensued is indescribable.
'Loud calls for the Sergeant-at-Arms were
made, and cries of "order!" resounded from all
aides of the chamber. '
Many persons rushed Wein the galleries, and
out of the chamber, in apprehension of a gene
ral melee.
Several Sepators surounded Mr. Foote, a
mong whom was Mr. Di kinson, who securing
the pistol, locked it up in his dedc.
• Mr. Benton in the me ntime was struggting
in the hands of his friers who well endeaior
.mg to prevent him from eaching Mr. Foote.—
While thus pinioned, as it ,were, and yet almost
unsuccesefully resisting the efforts of those who
held him,Mr. Benton boldly denounced Mr. Foote
as an' assassin, vibe had thus dared to briog,a pis
tol in the Senate to murder him. He said 'N
have no arms—examine me—l carry nothing o(
the kind--.-stand out of his way, and let the
scoundrel and assassin fire!"
lo uttering this sentence,Mr. Bakoirthrew
off from °Met side those w ho held him—tore
open his vest, and invited the.fire of his entail :

from advancing towards Mr. Benton.

COUNTY EDUCATION CONVENTION.
PutCuant to the resolution, of the last conven,
lion, and the Circular of .iliePornmtltee of Ai ,
rarigementi;, a number of the School Directors ,
and friends of education ale Ol e the 16th
day of April, 1860, in..theA ? e, in Cal
lisle . N-'•
The.convection was called d order by fey.
J. A. Devinney,Chairman of the commilpe,,
and un his minim, Bon. Frederick Watts was
appointed-President -and-Mr.- Thomas Craig
head Secretary. •
Judge Watts on taking the chair, addressed
the convention as follows :
'Less than twenty years ego, so "little• was
education appreciated in Pennsylvania, that the
_ingenioutdevice.and :legislative cunning of a
fow mon were brought into requisition to im.
pose-it upon the mass of the people Against their
consent. Thetplan was then looked upon as
an ingenious device by which the affitient-and
• influential sought to establish schools at the
public expense for their own benefit; and no
measure el State'polloy way looked upon with
more suspicion; none was more obnoxious to
public, opinion. A few, a very few individuals,
who elunglo knowledge ao the sheet anchor of
all human happiness—who looked forward -to
it as that kind of power which is so conservh
• tive in its character, so reliable under the in
stitutions of a Reppblican Government, as a se
cuOty for life and property, and the true en
. joyment of both, put at hazard theleown . repu.
tation and political hopes, by iniposing upon,
their constituents the obligation of educating
their chtldrera. The More enlightened then •
looked upon a general. system of education as
a most desirable object, whilst those who were
less so, frowned upon . it as an innovation upon
upon human rights.
'And now, after the lapse of but a few years,
when we have just begun to feel the genial in-
Miaow' of education; those who are less affluent,-
tend themselves more in the lower walks of life,
ment upon their children rising with the pow
er of knowledge, and taking their stinid , in the
conspicuous walks of life, and have geom. the
strenuous advocates . of popular education. By
thienlass of lieople, for a time, must this sys
tem,be sustained. Already it begins to Carry
the weight of a selfish opposition, Perhaps it
is roataringinto a dangerous opposition. Man
will not learn and understand that it is a diffu•
sion of knowledge which secures to them the
continued enjoyment of all they possess. Of
what avail is law, who regards justice, what is
the power of rights, if they be not supported by'
~fhe enlightened intelligenee of the mass , of the
/ community. rt • •
-- -- - , ".Between these conflicting elements of pub
lie opinion, that same spirit of philanthropy
/whiclutetiiated those who originated the sys-t
tern of universal education, every where eontin,
- --uesto move and scatter on both sides the 'seeds
of virtuous truth, which shall ultimately pro.
duce the most abundant fruit. It is the object
of this convention to discuss the subject, and
thus impress upon the public mind the great
value _of unis_ereal educatien.'
• On motion, Messrs. W. H. Miller Jr. Hami
lton and P. Pierce, were appointed .aleommittee
'to prepare business for the convent on. After
the committee retired, the convention was ad-'
dressed by the Rev. J. A. Derinneyeon the gen
eral subject of common school education, dwel.
ling chiefly upon the obvious defects in our
system as it is now carried on, and urging im
pravement as eminently conducive to the in
telligence, refinement and wealth of our State.
The Mildness committee, reported . six reso
lutions, and a plan for a Normal School fin
Cumberland county', which being read, it was
resolved to consider each separately. '
1.m.0N LIBRARIES
Revived, That this convention earnestly
recommends to the Directors the early forma.
Lion and establishment of Seisool Dietriet Li
6rwrieir, to which both pupils and.teachers obeli
have access upon conditions to be hereafter a
greed upon.7-that the books be purchased from
year to year by a fupd devoted to that purpose;
and that the friends of common schools be in
vited to present copies of valuable and interes
ting works to the libraries, who before placing
them in the library, shall- write within the
names of the donors.
After discussion of this resolution by Rev's.
Hoffman, Wing, Thorne, and Devinney, and
Messrs. Blumenthal, Peffer, Batt, Miller and
quire, it was adopted, nem con.

The business's Committee ..asked leave, to
amefid the , plan for a normal •school . , and leave
lialag *given, reported the same as 'amended,.
with' two Resolutions; and the Convention pro
ceeded to cotisider the same.
Mr. Hamilton remarked, That there was no
prospect of a Normal School being established
by the Legislature at Ile present session, and •
we were thrown upon our own resources to 'try
and do something 'to. qualify the Teachers of
Our county better for the discharge of their du- '
ties. In Philadelphia the controllers ,of, the
public schools had established a Normal School,
which had succeeded , well we. had not the
same means, but if we cnnld accomplish any
thing without drawing on the school funds, it
was worth the experiment. It was proposed on
this plan-to pay all the expenses out of the tui
tion alone, which -may ,be received. This we
think may be accomplished Ist by the facilities
afforded (if the Directors of Carlisle are will
ing) of Lecture room, School room,-,Apparatus
and Library, free of charge,
and which will add
nothing to the expenses of this District. 2nd,
by the actiye comperation of the Directors of
the Coalmen Schools throughoutthe County, in
; inducing Teachers and others to attend a see
.siOn-Of the Normal School-for 'three militia in
Carlisle, and guaranteeing to the Professors that
at least 5 scholars shall attend from each Dip
trict, and that they Will see to it, that the tui
tion of. this nifinbeS be paid. The Directors
have the legal right to enter into such an '
arrangement, by. p provision in law just pas
sed, autheriiifir the Board of Car ale District
to 'establish sUch a School.
, The plan proposes that the Pro sore are to
give their extra time to lectures and illustra
tions in a Model School, on the mode of teach
ingaisd governing a School, and the pupils are to
pursue a regular course of study with °paella.
nities for explanation and instuction, at certain
hours, and that during the latter part of the ses
sion the whole time of the Professors can be gi
ven lathe class. -It was argued that although
this.was a small beginning fora Normal School,
yet it might in time result in an Institutiob of
consequence, not only to the county, but to the
State at large, and if it succeeded, would no
doubt commend. Cumbexland• county to the Leg
islature, as the seat of a State Normal School,
when such should be established, which must
greatly benefit the locality and county selected
as the site of such an Institution.
The plan contemplates that Directors thrOup•
out the county, in Making-their appointments,
tthall-Igire- r due-weight-and-the-preferenee r all
other things considered, to such Teachers an
have attended a course in the Norman Seoul.
The Convention thereupon
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Conven
tion.a Normal School such as has been reported,
is well deserving an experiment, and should
receive the hearty aid and co-operation.of the
citizens of Cumberland county.
Resolved, That it is earnestly recomMended,
should such a School be established, that the
Teachers of the county, and those who are
looking forward to that employment, should
avail themselves of its advantages, and not hes•
itate forihe expense that may be necessary to
qualify themselves better for the successful and
able discharge of their ditties. The resolutions
wereadopted mein con.
On motion of Mr. Batt it was

aver been the advocates ofpopular education.
yet we — bilieve their erelency

table, the power of jealousy, the absorbing in
terest of mystery, and the power of love and
beauty. The interesting period of the story

racters among the actors of his tale, taken

eence. The story opens in a tap-room in Lon,,
ifón, and the first female character introduced,
is one of such surpassing loveliness, and under
circumstances so peculiar and interesting, that
the reader becomes at once absorbed in her his
tory and fate 1 altogether the work is one `,F,'
