The Riehrnoud Enquirer says : It is re
freshing to tho patriot to see the sound senti
ments avowed by so many of our Northern
Democratic brethren on tho subject of the in
stitutions of the South. While the Rlack
Republican organs are gloating over the
threatened negro disturbances, which have
beon detected in time to be checked and pun
ished, but which, call for continued and vigi
lant police preventatives the conservative
Northern press boldly gpeak out and fix the
outrage and crime on the heada of Northern
agitators. In the language of the Springfield
(til ) Register, 'what has occurred is one of
tho legitimate results of Northern negroisra.
The heresy of negro equality, while it gains
no favor with those who have the constitution
al power to relieve the slave from his bonds,
Lat incites the latter to servile war, bloodshed
and murder. Abolitionism has counselled to
this end, and the time serving partisans, for
office, have winked at the vilhmy. Such men
cure nothiug for the slave ; but if anarchy,
bloodshed, and a dismemberment of the coun
try wotdd foist them into high places, they
would risk the visitation of all such evils
Outbreaks, caused by the wicked intermed
dling of outside fanatics and demagogues, can
only result in ill to the pretended objects of
their hypocritical professions of sympathy
Disunion with the one class and office with
the other are the ruling incentives to the ac
tion of the Northern agitators. These achiev

A case of some interest was recently deci
ded in London. A share broker of that city
bought for a customer 100 shares which were
paid for, aud subsequently 200 shares, which
were not paid far. Tho broker detained the
first 100 share3 a3 security for the payment
of the second lot, upon which his customer
brought an action of trover for the recovery
of the 100, and succeeded, the court ruling
that uo lion could accrue ca them without a
special agreement, and that they must be giv
en up. no' withstanding the subsequent debt.
This decision is of much importance, and
should be generally kuown, as in many cases
Loth stock brokers and merchants may ima
gine they Lave security, while thsy really
have none. Ia another case iu Eugland it
has been decided that a clerk is not bound to
keep secret any trading or practices of his
employers which may be fraudulent towards
others, but, on the contra-, will be protected
in disclosing the malpractices to the party or
parties aggrieved.

be repress ted in the person of Count Wa

Tixe Non-Abmval of the Steamship Her
mann Ansiktv for n kk Safetv We learn
from the Philadelphia Ledger of tho 29th inst.
that tho Steamship Hermann, of tho South
ampton and Rrcmen Line, is now out on her
twenty-fcixth day, and her loDg absence is
the occasion cf some anxiety. The belief is
that she has encountered a gale. We notice,
among the seventy-one passengers she had on
hoard, Mr. Lewis I'litt and Lady and his
relative Mr. E. Plitt. Mr. P. is a citizen of
Johnstown, in this county, who has been in
the business of Merchandizing for a number
of years in that place.
The fact is ascertained that the Captain of
tho Hermann, seme time prior to his depar
ture, sent a letter to his wife, residing in Phil
adelphia, saying that he ebould probably not
make the voyage to New York, in less than
twenty days on account of some imperfections
in the machinery.
A Make's Nest ! The ptory of our neigh
bor of the StamlardAnle Cargo Inspector
that Mr Rryden is a relative of Mr Plumcr,
it appears is untrue. The Venango Spectator
a Democratic paper .ts will be seen by the
extract below, pronounces it so. What will
the late Cargo Inspector say now, since the
burden of his obligation to Mr. Rryden is
taken away? IIoU. Register.
Mr. James Rryden-. The Ilollidaysburg
Standard does not approve of the appoint
ment of this gentleman as Superintendent of
the Portage Road, and says a greats many
hard things about him, and likewise intimates
iht we do not approve of the selection.
We have heretofore expressed our satisfac
tion with Mr B's appointment In this com
munity, co man stanJri higher for integrity
and strict business habits, and that he will
prove a faithful and competent officer, no one
who is acquainted with him can for a moment
doubt. The Standard is in error in stating
that he is a relative of a member of the Canal
Roard. ,

Sudden Death. While in attendance at
court w were informed of the death of an a
ged and respectable citizen of White town
ship, in this county, which was reported to us
a3 follows : An old gentleman named Stephen
Krise, who for several years psst has been
living in a manner by himself his wif; being
dead and having no one near him to look af
ter himself cr his affairs was in the habit of
getting his bread and other things which he
could not prepare himself from his nearest
neighbors. On Saturday -evening, 22d ult.,
he - obtained a loaf of bread from one of his
neighbors and returned to his lonely home.
As he did not appear at meeting on Sunday,
and was not seen by any one during the day,
some of his f. iends and neighbors visited his
housa in the evening. Finding the d.ur lock
ed, and seeing no indications oif life about the
premises, an entrance was efTected through
the" window, when the old man was found in
his bed dead and cold hi.-slanip of life bad
expired while there was none present to fan
its feeble fame or watch its fading light. An
inquest was held over his remains by a jury
of his neighbors, who were unable todeside
as to the immediate cause of his death V.re
knew Mr. Krise well, and will say that we
believe his greatest ambition was to live the
life of a peaceful neighbor and conscientious
christian. He belonged to the Raptist
Church. He leaves behind him several descendant-:,
a numerous family conueetion, and
x large circle of friends and aequAutaince.;,.

A Dig Sckculation. One of the biggest,
speculations of modern times is the Illinois
Central Railroad, Congress granted to the 1
Company for the purpose of aidmg in the con
struction of several millions of acres of the.
public domaio, cut of the sales of which, iu
the first eleven months cf this year, 4,4b-l,-400
were realized at an average ot 15 per
acre. How much was sold previously we are
not informed, but the receipts were probably
treble that sum. Tho Compatiy jbtill haw
one million acres cn Land for which they de
mand 25 per acre, and before it is half dis
posed cf they will deubtless advance te $50
per acre and get the sum of thirty or forty
millions more. The whole cost of the road
was not more thau twenty millions of dollars,
and this corporation has received from Con
gress a bounty for its construction out of
which they realize fifty and possibiy sixty
millions of dollars.
The Sugar Tax. The St. l.ouis Bc.no
crut, adverting to tho proposal of Senator
Houston, ef Texas, to suspend the duty on
sugar for two years, says : Last year the
value of all the sugar imported iuto the couu
try wa3 near fifteen miiiii us of dollars ; this
year it will greatly exceed that sum. Thirty
percent on tiftef-n millions gives $4,500,000,
which was the amount of the sugar tax levied
last year. According to the last census the
whole number of sugar planters in the United
States is 2G41. Tho bad crops of the last
few years, aud the want of canes suitable for
planting, have considerably reduced this
cumber. th& owners of many of tho estates
having now substituted the cultivation of cot
ton ; wc suppose, therefore, that there cannot
be more than two thousand nugar planters at
the present time. It would bo better to give
them at once a sum etiuul to the sugar tax
for three or four years, than to go cn from
year to year paying a heavy tax for which iu
the tieasury corrupts our legislation- .
The Death of Tather llatte-n:.
Father Mathew, the renowned Apostlfl of

Theobald Mathew was born iu Thomastowu
Ireland, Oct. 10, 1790. He was left an or
phan at an early aire, adopted by an aunt,
and educated in Kilkenny Academy and at
Maynooth. He was ordained to the prieshood
at Duolin, having previously entered upon
his philanthropic labors among the poor.
The curse of whiskey, brought so fearfully to
his notice among these wretched people, rous
ed him to unwonted enthusiasm, and he de
termined upon a crusade against the demon
Alcohol. Adopting the principle of total ab
stinence, he commenced a series of meetings
and soon awakened the latent enthusiasm of
the Irish nature to his assistance, meeting
with success beyond the wildest hopes Il7
travelled from town to town through all the
island c
His spotless fame preceded him, and his
progress was one triumphal march. The au
thorities unbent th.ir dignity to do him hon
or, and the people followed and crowded
around him. with adoration. He administe--ed
the pledge 'to thousands at a time ; at Ne
nagh to twenty thousand in one day ; at Gal
way a hundred thousand in two days; between
Galway and Lourhrea to nearly two hundred
thousand. From Ireland he went to England,
where even the phlegmatic Saxons were infec
ted with a corresponding er.thusiasni. Thence
he came to the Uuited States, where to shake
hands with the apostle of Temperance and
receive his medal with a pledge of total ab
etiuenco was the highest ambition of every
worthy son and daughter of tha Emerald Ile
JIw warm reception and grptifying success in
this couutry are well remembered. Throu-h

says :
"Senator Doughs appeared in his seat to
day, for the first tine this session The great
est possible improvement is visible iu his ap
pearance since his marriage. Last session he
wore ill-trimmed whiskers, long hair, turned
down collar, seedy dress coat, and had a de
cidedly shabby look. Now. Lis face is clean
shaved ; Lis collar stands stiff and glossy; hU
linen looks decidedly resj ectable : he wears
his hair much shorter than usual; and, to
crown all, he appears in a new suit cf black,
a neat fitting frock, instead cf the shabby old
dress-crat, and looks about ten years younger
than ever. On coming into the Senate cham
ber, he was congratulated by all, and by nono
mcro warmly than by his political opponents."
