We learn . by Telegraph this morning that the city election in 'Philadelphia, yesterday, resulted in the choice of- the Citizens Reform or Fusion Candidates for Treasurer and Com missioner, beating the American Candidates by about 1.50 majority. To the Select Council 15 Americans land 9 Fusionists are elected— ,to the Common Council 38 Americans and 89 Fusionists. At the city election last May, Judge Conrad was elected Mayor by tbe A- Mericans, by about 8,000 majority• Sam has therefore been "sot back" some. THE 'BRIBERY REPORT. The report of the Committee raised to investigate the charges of bribery in con nection with the election of U. 'S. Sena tor, have made a lengthy report. which we publish to-day. The evidence ac• companying the report is however, too long for our space. The investigation did not amount to much practically. TIIE STATE ,CAPITAL. The project of removing the seat of governmen't from Harrisburg to :Phila.. delphia, which passed the Honse".last week by a very decisive-vote, seems to be received with favor by Many,of our editorial brethren in the interior. 'The Reading Journal and Pit tsburg American declare themselves decidedly in favor of the removal. The question is one upon which a good deal may be said both pro and con. The location of the Legislature amid the numerous•institutions of learn ing, science and art which abound in Philadelphia, could scarcely fail to have an elevating influence among the mem bers, but unfortunately great cities a bound in evil as well as good influences, and with the material of which our Leg islatures are generally composed the pre ponderating effect of the evil influences might well bo feared. The question is however worthy of serious attention. The House resolution was taken up in the Senate on Saturday, and caused a warm debate, after which an amendment was submitted prodding that the act shall not go into effect unless approved by the next Legislature," Which was a dopted by a vote of 17 yeas to 10 nays. The bill was then postponed until Tues day. • zteirThe Missouri Out-laws, finding Gov. REEDER, unwilling to endorse their outrages in Kansas, have gone to work to depose him from office, their previous threats of asassination having failed to in duce him to resign. A despatch from St. Louis, April 25 1 -states that they have issued a proclamation declaring Gov. Reeder to be incompetent for the positiOn he fills, and that Ilia appointment without the consent of the governed, was nn arbi trary exercise of power. An electioU has been ordered at Leavenworth 'to be held on the 28th. for the election of a, succes ; For Gov.'Reeder:: Delegates are to meet there to select, a person as Territorial Governor, whose name will be forwarded to the President for, his appointment. Popular Sovreignty is working -finclrin Kansas under the , lead .of 'MissoUri slave drivers ,and outlaws 1- siar A fuSion' has been effected in Philadelphia city betireen the Democrat ic party and the Anti-Know Nothing Whigs by which Jac;ob E.

Bickel has been thrown off the Democratic ticket, and William Elliot oft•the Anti ' Know Nothing Whig ticket. NO LIBERTY WITHOUT LAW. . An American, who was traveling in Germany, happened to say, that by a mu nicipal law of Philadelphia, very citizen was--=obliged--to- eleav the snow from his pavement. Ile was answered, by a hearer, "do you cull that liberty ?" The Philadelphia Ledger remarks, in the subjoined forcibly comments upon this circumstance, that this misconcep tion of freedom is not confined to Euro peans. Thousands, even in this country, appear to think that license and liberty are synonymous. Nearly every mail brings intelligence of seine violation of law, the consequence, direct or indirect, of this misapprehension. Now a mob, in Chica go, resists the enforcement of a liquor law. Now the liberty of the press is as sailed, by the destruction, in a popular tumult in Missouri, of a printing office whose owner had published opinions dis tasteful to the rioters. . Now the settlers in Kansas, or a portion of them, set the federal constitution at defiance - by refus ing to receive the governor appointed ac cording to long established rules, by the executive at Washington. In a word, license as contradistinguished from law, is rampant everywhere. It requires no proph:t to forfeit, that, *if ibis vice should extend itself, the in stitutions ,of the country must suffer. Government here is the reflex of the will nf the people, and is therefore. never ty rannical, even when imperative. Law, in a republic, is the voice of the majori ty. Society cannot exist without a con trolling power somewhere, and that pow er, when fixed by the people, is never.u surpation. A free community is only a vast partnership, in which man, the bet ter to secure the common end, binds him self to certain conditions. In all associ ations, the members defer their individu al opinims, so far forth as the purposes of the associations are.involved, to the de cision of the whole. A republic is noth ing but an association. In an unorganized state of society, the weak would be at the mercy of the strong, property would be insecure, limb, character and life would be continually in'peril. Hence it is that governments are indispensable, for thus safety is secured to all ; first by deciding the terms of association, that is by en acting laws; and second, by enforcing those laws. To resist law in a.republic is a differ ent thing from resisting it under a des potism. In the one case, law is made without consulting those whom it is to control. In the other, law is the° free will choice of the majority. In the for mer, there is often no, chance of repeal ing a law, unless by resistance, if not rev olution. In the latter, the ballot-box is provided, where the repeal may be peace fully effected. In the former, one man governs—in the latter, all. Whenever a law is resisted, in a republic, it is virtu ally an attempt to apply the despotic principle, for each rioter seeks to substi tute his single will for the will of all. Every man wto assists a mob, who se cretly countenances a mob, or who de fen6, under any circumstances, the ac tion of .a mob, is therefore, an enemy to liberty. xtgo_ The Washington Star contradicts the statement of the NOW. York Post., to• the effect td►at Secretary Guthrie has written to a. friend in Kentucky to be cautious in bOSiness, as war with Spain is inevitable. The Star also contradicts a statement of the same paper, that the War Department has had concentrated in the Southern part of Florida, for solo° months, a large. military force destined to invade Cuba at a designated point. 465 - The I'ollsville Regiseir, the Dem ocratic organ of Schuylkill county, sug gests that, it would be preferable to nom inate no "adopted citizen" for any office in futive.

Crgafraioat'A). - aritDio GOV. REEDER AT 110111 E Gov. Reeder, of Kansas Territory, ar-, rived at 'Easton, Pa. on Monday, and was honored with a very enthusiastic public reception by the citizens, He was warm ly greeted in au address by the Hon. James M. Porter, to which he replied. We give the reply as reported, which it will be seen is fully Confirmatory of all the statements of rascality in Kansas. Governor Reeder, in reply,A‘pressed in a feeling manner and in eloquent of ms the grate ful impression made by the warm and enthu sinstie reception given by so large an assembly of his fellow citizens. Ile refet rcd to the re ports of fraud and outrage upon the part of the shivery men in the Kansas election, and emphatically crnfirmed the very worst ktate meat which had preceded his arrival. Ho said opinions on the subject of, popular, sovereignty had undergone no change, but the conduct of the people on the border counties of Missouri had astounded and amazed him by their reckless disregard of all laws, compacts and constitutions. The territory of Kansas had been invaded by a regular organized army, armed to the teeth, who took possession of the ballot boxes, and made up a legislature to suit the purposes of the pro-slavery party. Kansas was subdu ed, subjugatal and conquered by armed men from Missouri, but her Citizens were resolved 'toter to give up their fight for freedom and the independence of their soil from foreign control and interference. Missouri would be called upon to disavow all sympathy With these border ruffians ; and if she refused, the South would be called upon to diseountemince her. If the South refused, the solemn duty wo uld devolve upon the North to take up the matter, so that the rights of her sons, who have settled in Kansas on the faith of solemn compacts. shall be vindicated and sustained. He declared that the accounts of the fierce outrages and wild violences perpetrated at the late election in Kansas, as publiFeed in the Northern pnpe.s, were not exaegerated, and he concluded by saying that Kansas was now conquered country—conquered by, force Of arms ; but the citizens were resolved never to yield their rights, and be relied upon the North to aid them by demonstrations of public senti ment and all other legal means, till they ',hall be fully and triumphantly vindicated. =MEI TIIAT NUNNERY DIATI ER .7qlM Vth—The Committee of the Mnssachu settsLegislature, appointed to inquire in to the charges of improper conduct on the part of the I egislative Committee which visited . one of the Catholic Nun neries near Boston, have made report, in cluding the evidence of the Lady Supe rior and other inmates of the school. The report exonerates nll the members of the visiting Committee, except n Mr. Hiss, who is charged with having, while under the influence of liquor, improperly ap proached one of the ladies connected with the school.

The Mr. Hiss,.whose misconduct gave occasion for the charges, has since re signed his seat in the Legislature.

THE ECLIPSE.—The eclipse "of the Moon took place last,tvening, precisely accor ding to calculation. The sky was clear and the novel spectacle attracted general attention. The total obscuration was accomplished in just one hour's time, ending according to our time at 10. 10 o'clock. Dense darkness immediate ly prevailed and myriads of stars, before un noticed, suddenly shot out, as making their first appearance in celestial circles. The bril lient "Queen .nf Night" now presented a rather shabby appearance, her usual .silvery sheen being changed to n dull col perish aspect, and herself looking forlorn and forsaken among the surrounding merry twinkler's. With all our sympathies excited by her unfortunate "eclipse," we retired; but felt glad as we a,- wakened a few hours later to find that she was "herself again" and . bathing the earth with the effulgence of her silver rays.
