In the House, yesterday, a Committee of
Conference was appointed on the disagreeing
amendment to the General Appropriation bil.l
-The-committee on-unauthorized alterations in
bills and resolutions made three reports. One,
übrnjtted by Mr. Campbell, declared unani
mously that the alteration of the resolution,
fixing the compensation of the employers of
Congress, was done accidentally and without
fraudulent intent. As regards the alteration
of the 'Minnesota Land bill, the majority re
port submitted by Mr. Breckenridge, declared
that the alteration was made by direction of
Mr. Forney, Clerk, of the House, under the
impression that it wag proper to do so, and
.that the alteration was unimportant. 1. They
acquit Mr. Forney of blame. This report,
however, severely censures such changes, and
says that they are quite common in both Hens
de. The minority report, submitted by Mr.
Campbell, declared that the alteration was made
subsequent to the engrossment of the bill, that
completely changed one Of the features of tho
bill, that the engrossing clerk refused to make
the alteration until directed to do so by Col. For
tney, but they decline expressing an opinion us
to the fraudulent intent. They recommend the
'repeal of the altered section, and that the corn.

LARGE CROPS IN EUROPE
The London correspondent of the Philadel
phia American, under date of the 21st ult..
speaks thus of the prospects of an abundant
harvest in Europe;
The intelligence, that is reliable from all
parts of the country, speaks of the splendid
condition of the corn, and the 'great extent of
the growth. The weather is now magnificent
with every prospect of a continuance, and we
may shortly expect to see corn very mtich low
er in price ; although it will not be of that
character which astounded many a speculator
in 1847, when.. it fell in a month from 104 s
to 47s 6d,S till it is going down fast. Intelli
gence has reached here, which tells us that
France has very . large wheat crops, superior
in quality and larger hi quantity than the av
erage of former years. The Algeria harvest
is already reaped, and large consignments are
on their way to Marseilles, and have material
ly influenced.prices in fayorief the buyer.—
There is also positirvo'certainty that
France will be able to sell to English' pur
chasers instead of competing with them in
their own market. On the continent the crops
are extensive, Mid the markets are not only
dull, but foot declining:
A circular from Rostock calculates on a
large yield, at least one fourth above the usual
overage of the wheat crop, and more than a
full average of other corn. There are the
same prospects in the Baltic districts ' and no
-counts are extremely favorable from Norway,
Sweden, and Denmark. in Prussia there arc
excellent prospects of greet yield, and at Smy
rna the' rain is unusually plentiful. Egypt
the prices have greatly fallen, and at Alexan
dria the corn is more abundant. In the Prin
cipalities the corn is being cut by the Rus
sian& but in Bulgaria the harvest has been
most abundant on the - whole. The prospects
of_the suplies of corn Wareivery good. Pota
toes promice to be abundant, and as these two
articles have a material influence on , the gen.
eral price of provissions, the food. of the peo
ple may be, expected to grow cheap; and
should this anticipation prove correct, an im
pulse will be given to business which it is now
seriously in need of.

BIGLER'S DODGING AND DOUBLE
' DEALING.
The'locefoce State .Committee haS issued a
second Address, and quite as long as their first
onn in spite of the complaints so freely dealt
out by their party presses. When they au
flounced their programme of addresses, if we
renumber right, the .subject of No. 2 woe an
nounced to be the Nebraska bill. But_on that
subject Gov Bigler is still mum. The adlbes
on Nebraska, which was actually prepared,
has been sent-to "Wilmot's district" to ascer
tain ;whether it 'will: suit that . quarier, and as
the result is not yet knOwn the Committee has
issued another address to fill up the time,
which is devoted to extravagant eulogy of Gov.
Bigler's character and to the defence of his
administration..
It would be strange if the committee could
not "scare up" something to eulogize in the
Governor's course, and Vence go are not sur
prised that the subject is lengtllily dwelt upon.
But there is another side of the Governor's
course which we 'suspect the committee will
not choose as the subject of an address—that
is the Governor's most flagrant and contempt-'
„iblo systeln of doalle"ellaling , and. duplicity.
This it will be the task of the Whig press to
upsent and it is so ably and thoroughly.expos
ed by the York Republican, that we ask particu
lar attention to the article which we subjoin
from that paper of last week. It is an admir
able reply to the locofoco Committee's Address
No. 2,
of Montgomery
"The present Governor of our State has
shown more shuffling and trickery than any
public functionary we have ever known. As
ho is a candidate for reelection, the people
ought to examine his position with some care.
We piopose to group , together some•of the in
stances in which ho has shown a disposition to
dodge and show a double face on important
public questions.—The first of these is the
Nebiaska-Kansas iniquity. Gov. Bigler, through
his intimate friend, Mr. Speaker Chase, of thp
House of Representatives, himself a professed
opponent of that vile breach of faith and cove
nant, induced the Convention which renomina
ted him as a candidate for the Executive Chair
to blink and dodge that subject; though Senator
Brodhead asserts, a large majority were decid
edly in favor of the Pierce and Douglas slave
ry-extending policy. Since then Gov- Bigler •
has maintained the same "expressive silence"
—not one word pro or con has proceeded out of
his mouth. The Locofoco State Committee re
solved to issue an Address in favor of Nebrask
ality, but it has not yet appeared. It is as
serted that it was written and submitted to
Gov. Bigler, by whom it was essentially soft
ened - and modified, and then transmitted by a
confidential messenger, Mr. Penniman, to
"Wilmot's Distrar in order to ascertain
whether the Freesoilers couldbe so conciliated.
The result - lias 'not - yet — frtinspiie - d, aad Gov.
Bigler, regardless of the adjuration of Sena
tor Brodhead, to come out boldly in favor of
this great "Democratic measure," still - keeps
his own counsel and remains obstinately mum.
This is iartful dodging," to be sure ; and
shows how candid his Excellency was in lately
saying that he had no opinions to conceal in
view of the approaching .election.
The Course pursued by Gov. Bigler in rela
tion to a Sale of the - Public Works is a striking
instance of duplicity. In his annual message
at the opening of the last session of the Legis
lature, he distinctly avowed his opposition to
the measure ; but it nevertheless became evi
dent that a bill for the sale would pass in spite
of his opposition. He and his friends then set
to work,, to prevent it from being effeptive. ; The
Canal Commissioners reduced the rate of tolls
on the line of the Public Works, and the bill
forbade the purchaieis to increase those rates
What was the result? From about the time
when the tolls were reduced to the Ist day of
July when the bids for the purchase of the
Works were to be received and opened, the
revenues on the Improvements fell offin the
enormous amount of One Hundred and Sixty
Thousand Dollars. Of course, not a bid was
made for under such reduced Rates of Toll, it
would be impossible to• keep the works in re
pair, and to manage and support them. Thus,
in order to defeat the sald—to prevent the
people from being relieved from the burden of
debt and taxation, and to keep the work in
the hands of politicians to reward LooOfoco
electioneerers and enable them to grow rich
by public plubder, the State was made to suf
fer this immense loss—was deliberately de
prived elmore than $160,000. Gov. Bigler,
knowing that this operation rendered it mor
ally impossible to effect a sale, signed the in
effectual bill for that purpose with the most
soletnn.gravity, notwithstanding the hostilily
to the measure expressed by. him in his mes
sage, and with like gravity attended on the Ist
aptly to receive bids that he well knew would
not be made,, Was there ever more bare-fa
ced double-dealing than this ? The State
wronged—the Treasury kept empty—the pub- -
lie interests sacrificed—every thing done to
ddeat a sale, and yet Gov. Bigler presumes to
ask the people to re•eloct him !
The various temperapce questions have put•
Gov. Bigler to equal 'difficulty in order to
straddle the fence, and make fair weather on
both sides. When the Temperance Convention
met at flarrisburg in June, in reply, to their
queries, he wrote them a letter recognizing the
right of the Legislature to "regulate"—he
fought shy of the word prohibit, which is what
they asked him—the sale of intoxicating li
quors, but declined to say Whether he would
or whether ho would not sign any bill for pro
hibition, should a majority of the people de
clare for it at the next election, because ho
must see the proposed act first. This was
considered "unsatisfactory" by the'Temper
ance men at the time, We saw with some
surprise, however, last week in a Philadelphia •
temperance paper an address signed by several
leading friends of the Prohibitory movement,
in which they say that any one of the four can
didates for Governor, they aro well assured,
will sign a Prohibitory Liquor Bill if passed,
and ,they therefore, urge the friends of the
cause to cast a strong majority in its favor at
the polls, and to exert themselves to elect
Members of the Legislature who will enact
This was rather astonishing after Gov. Big-',„
tar's public refusal to' give any such promise,'
and , we wondered on what the Temperance
'Committee founded their confidence. But now
the murder is out. Though Gov. Bigler did
write the publio letter referred to, ho has
since written private letters to the Temper
ance leaders, and made personal promises to
them, pledging himself to sign a Prohibitory
Liquor Law. This came out at Bedford week
before last, whore the Rev. John Chambers,
of Philadelphia—equally well known asati ar
deat-Locofooo-olorleal-politician-,- and - a - most --
uncompromising advocate of-Prohibition—in
the course of a publio address to the friends
of Temperance ' informed them pat Gov. Big
ler was a true friend of Prohib4f,(o.: lle said
that he had the aesurantie fiflittMflips of the ,
Governor himself, and liryllt'altittor. from him
to that.effect pooktC llferii thew, we
have Po,. Bigler again presenting himself to
the 'people in a double - aspect. He writes a
public letter 'to a Temperance 'State Cottrell.,
tionin which lie declines to give them any sat
isfaction, and he tells the Rev. John Chambers ,
by word of mouth, giving him a letter in his
pocket, that he is a "truo friend of Prohibi
tion," and will of course sign a Prohibitory
Liquor. Law. Nowovho is to be cheated here;
for it is clear that somebody must be? Can
the friends of a Prohibitory Liquor Law trust
s GovAliglor on the strength of that letter in
the Rev. John Chambers'
,"pooket?" Can the
enemies of .such a law trust him on the faith
of the published letter addressed by him to
the Temperance Convention? Why don't Mr.
Chambers produce that lettty from his "pock
et,". 'and lot the people see it? How Gan ei
ther side . ofthe Temperance question place any,
confidence in a man like Bigler whose publio
and private pledges are no irree6noileable ?
lie will deceive them both, if possible. - In
the Rev., Mr. Chambers' mode of electioneering
for Bigler, temperance 'Whip and all other
Whigs who are BO very ready to fly off on all'
kinds of aide issues, may nee what sort 6f• re-
Hance they can repose on Looofocos who pre
tend to act with them. Mr.,Chambers is most
clearly more anxieua to Recur°, the election of
his Locofoco friend, Gov: Bigler, than the en;
aotmont .Of a Prohibitory Liquor Law—and '
there Ate more of the Same sort just like him;
Another instance of the double•dcaling of
Gov Bigler is to be found in hie treatment of
the "Leger - . Bier Bill," as it is called, which
wee passed the Legislature. , •He bee pocket
ted and refused to sign it, holding,it over un
til after the . next meeting of the Legislature..
The Loootooee'mOde a wonderful fuse in 1851"

BIM
allow our County Jails tole used as a piece
of confinement for runaway slaves, but they
regard with the' greatest conplaoency the
same' course of conduct pursued by Governor
Bigler wlthlegard to .the Lager Beer Bill.
This bill requires the venders of the Lager
BeerJto take out limit , from the•coivrts in the
same way as tavern-keepers do. Some of Gov.
Bigler's organs denounce itas "absurd and ri
diculous;"and.yet he signed partial and lo
cal• bills of exactly the some tenor kir Chester
and parts pf Tioga Countlesoand a bill to.pro
hlbit the sale of liquors in Clarion County by
less measurai than Aen gatiods at a time, thus
giving the rich an opportunity to indulge in'
a "smile," and deprive the poor of a chance,'
apd running directly counter, to his professed
preference of general over local laws. If tills
Is not duplicity—allowing to a part what he
refines to the •vvhole—what is it? Who can
trust such a breachy Governor?
Look too at Gov. Bigler's double-deallng with
regard to the Relief Notes. Re has more than
once urged the Legislature to adopt the most
stringent meaeures.to get them out of circula
tion. Taking him at his word, the Senate put
a clause in the Appropriation Bill requiring
the State Treasurer not to pay out any Relief
notes; but to sauce and destroy all that came
into the Treasury. This would-soon have an•
nihalated this currency so odious apparently
to our Looofoco ~ Governor and his political
friends. The Senate took him up too quick. The
tolls on the Public Works having been redu
ced by the Canal . CoMmissioners, and the Pub
lic Revenues of eotii.e9 diminished also, to can
cel all the. Relief Notes that would come into
the treasury might make it scarce of onsh—a
thing not to be thought of with an election for
Governor on hand. Abcordingly his excel
lency set to work in the Rouse, and there the
Senate's clause was stricken' out, leaving the
old, slow plan of minceling Relief Notes to go .
on as before, and allowing them to be reissued
from the Treasury as usual. This was Coy.
Bhilers own work, and from it the public can
judgo hie sincerity in °urging the immediate
withdrawal of Relief Notes from immediate
circulation.
Our Dais not ypkexhausted ; but we intuit.
close by citing one instance more of Gov. Big
ler'a plan of fishing for popularity in muddy
waters. A set of follows last winter formed a
conspiracy . to extort money out of the Central
And Penbsylvania and Ohio Railroad Compa
nicety getting in. the oars—paying their fare
in large notes—taking small bills of other
States in change and the suing the Companies
for the penalty of $6OO in each, case for pay
ing out such small notes. This went on for
some time—the oonepirators succeeded in get
ting a large number of these notes into their
possession, and tken brought a separate suit
on each note for thp penalty. The amount
reached to $26,000 or $30,000, and the suits
were fifty or sixty in number, with costs on
each. The Legislature justly regarding this as
a most inequitogs perviseion of the beneficial
purposes of the law, passed a bill requiring
these suits to be all consolidated into one,
thinking a single penalty of $6OO to be quite
enough for the conspirators, bUt snowing the
ooets_on_all..the„suits_which_halbeenineurred.
up to the time of their consolidation. But
Gov. Bigler, seeking after popularity and ex
,peoting to make it out of the stale popular
prejudice against corporations, _vetoed ihie'
meet righteous law, and enabled those convic
ted conspirators to pocket the whole sum of
$25,000 or 30,090, besides full costs of suit.—
For the Plaintiffs whom he so favored have .
been decided to be criminals by the highest
Judicial tribunal of the State. They were
found guilty of conspiracy and sentenced to
punishment by the Court of Qua , nter Sessions
of Allegheny county and Gov Bigler knew it.
They sued out a writ of eror to the Supreme
Court, and that Court has affirmed their een•
tenet, and judgment, as appears from the fol
lowing paragraph cut by us from the Harris
burg Denoeratie Union:
"Opinion of the Supreme Court.—liazen'et al
vs. The commonwealth. Error to Allegheny
county. Judgement affirmed. This is the fa
mous conspiracy case for uniting and confeder
ating to obtain notes of.n lees denomination
than five dollars from agents of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company. The plaintiffs in
error, Hazen, Harris, Latison and Davis were
indicted and tried before Judge McClure, and
having been found guilty, they were sentenced
to three months imprisorent cash, and a fine
of one hundred dollars. the law should be a
punishment to evil doerer andin this instance
these speculators have bad their deserts."
Yet "these speculators" were the men who
found favor with Gov. Bigler, and whose pock
ets he lined with 25,000 or 80,000. And in
the face 0f..a1l these things be seeks to be re
elected GOVernor. Shall dodging and dupli
city be rewarded?"

SOALkB OF 41010 E. —A lady once consulted
Dr. Johnsen on the degree of turpitude to be
attached to her son's robbing an orchard.
"Madame," said Johnson, "it all depends u
pon the weight Of -the boy. I remember my
school fellow, Deivid Garrick,—who was al
ways a little follow,—robbing a dozen of or
chards with impunity ; but the very first time
I climbed up an apple tree, for I was always
a heavy boy,—the-bough-broke-with-me,-and-it
was called a judgement. I suppose Gulf is
why justice is represented with ,a pair,of
scales.'i
M." What lake is this ?" said a freshly
arrived cockney to another who bad been in
the country some time. "Why, it is the Lake
'lton." "I knoiv it is the lake I'm on but
what's the name of P it." "Ab! ah t yes, the
Lake 'Uron—but do they call it that when you
are not on it?" 'llls friend gave him a look
of pity, and explained. •
_ Tun ALLIES.—Here are figures which it will
be well to bear in mind. The whole number
of French troops sent to T4key thus far, is
47,810, with 7,858 horses' and mules; the
whole_numher_of_Engliehroops_is_l3.l.s6o,with
5,000 hOrses and a few; mules. The_ allies
therefore, number nearly 80,000 men. The
total of the French land troops to be embark
ed at Calais under Gen.' Baraguny
will bo 40,000 men. -This is an addition .to
the 80,000.

Delegate Elections
At a meeting'of the Whig standing commit
tee on Saturday °last, the 19th was hzedforthe
Delegate election,and the folloWing Monday for
tho meeting of the County Convention. We
hope the Delegate meetings will bo well atten
ded and judicious and true Whigs selected as
Delegates, so' as to insure the nomination of
of a popular and uncitoeptionable . ticket.
County Commissioner
A correspondent of the Shippensburg News
proposes THOMAS A. MCKINNEY, of Newellie,
as tho Whig Candidate for County Commission
er. Mr McKinney is a highly esteemed citi
zen and unites practical business qualifications
with enlarged experience, His name is Nyell
worthy the consideration of the Convention.
Race *. for Congress
The Locos of this County hold their Delegate
Elections tie t &Wiley and the Nominating
Convention on Tuesday. 'An exceedingly
brisk °outwit is going on for the Congressional
nomination between Judge Stuart. the old
wheel-horse of democracy in South Middletott,
and J. Ellis Bonham, Esq. Chairman of the Lo
co State 'Committee and of course Gov. Big
ler's preference. The two "nags" seem to be
running "neck and neck" and it is bard to
toll which will win. It is shrewdly suspected
however that Bonham carries too.much weight
in those immense addresses.

Masonic Ceremonies.
The Masonic ceremonies on the occasion of
the laying of the Corner Stone of the new Ger

they wore to many of our citizens a novelty
we shall give such an 'outline of them as we
were able to collect. At 10 o'clock, A, M., a
Masonic and Odd Fellows procession was form

The procession being formed in front of
Marion Hall, 'on Main street. marched from
thence to the English Lutheran Church, where
a large concourse of ladies wore assembled.—
The services in the Church were opened with
an impressive prayer by the Rev. A. H. KRE
MER. An appropriate and eloquent discourse
was then delivered by the Rev. Cuminus HA;
of Harrisburg. The services being concluded,
the procession was again formed and marched
to the corner of Pomfret and Bedford streets,
the site of the new Church. After a short ad
dress from the; Rev. Mr. CENSER; the ceremony

Mitnagers , Repo r t.
After much anavoidable delay the managdrs
of the Big Spring Literary Institut* have pre.
pared the following report forpublioation.—
They, are consoious ‘l ie is, in Many, respects,
• imperfect; but they hove done the best they
could under the circumstances. Ono great
source of embarrassment in the getting up and
exhibition of the Fair was tke . pressing haste
with Which ell, business pertaining to It was
tratisactel., Our' choice of n time for the Fair
was tinforfp,nate.; It was harvest, or so nearly
so that many farmers and laboring men were
either obliged to neglect their work or miss
the Fair. Persons tro having articles on ex
hibition were it baste to get them away.—
Many could scarcely be induced to let their
goods remain until the Fair was over, and
some few indeed did take their artthles away
before it closed. These and many other air
eumstances combined have prevented the ma
king out, of such a report, as the Managers
would have been glad to have placed before
the public. Such, however, as it is, it is res.
,pectfully submitted'. Certificates of Merit have
been awarded as follows: When simply the
name of the article is written after tile name
of the exhibitor, it is intended to signify Clint,
although possessed of many good qualities, yet
not to such a degree as to warrant its insertion
among First Class articles; and in many in
stances the articles were of such a kind that
they could not fairly be compared with ally
thing else of the sort on exhibition.
