democrat $p Sentinel. D. MIRHAV, Editor and PnlilUhtr. KBENSDUBG, WEDNESDAY ::::::::::::DEC. 1. WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP ELECTION TVe presume all our renders in this county are aware, that a petition was presented to an ad journed Court held in this place last October, com plaining of an undue election having been held in Washington township, for County Commissioner, at the late General Electkm, and praying for an investigation. The prayer of the petitioners was ffranted. and a Commissioner appointed to take testimony, and report on the first t'ay of Decern ber Term. Of course, the presenting of the peti tion and the appointment of a Commissioner to Uke testimony, gave origin to an ludefinite amount cf political gossip and "Cock and Bull ' stones, This waa to be expected, and did not at all tur- tr'iM us. But when the newspapers of the coun ty began to take part in the controversy and naiilfcst a disposition tc prejudge a matter then under legal investigation, and which in a few week would be decided by lawful authority, we ..f nnit- Hi'miiwed but mortified. It was Wl UVfa J..J 'I infinitely worse than the "shoemaker going be yond his last." It wa3, or at least appeared to be, a bold attempt to manufacture public opinion and get up an exciting controversy with regard to an issue which was not submitted to the people for their decision, but t a tribunal which had othr means ot obtaining the facts than through the columns of partisan Newspapers. We have no desire to censure or quarrel with our brethren in thin county; but we claim the privilege of can didly expressing our opinion with regard to the controversy concerning the Washington" Towu khip Election, which has recently been carried on through their columns. A few days after the Commissioner had commenced takiug testimony at Jefferson, M' Pike t-f the Echo, proceeded to decide the controversy lu an editorial article in his paper. Mr. Lloyd wa declared duly elected, and, although the in vestigation had about as much to do with the effice of Assembly as with tLa Man in the Moon, yet our neighbor very magnanimously and dem ocratically read Thomas II. Porter Esq. out of cilice, and declared Mr. Richard J. Proud foot duly elected. The Democracy having thus lost, aocoruiuc to the decision of the Echo ran, a member of the Legislature and gained a County Commissioner, had good reason for rejoicing, and we thiuk our neighbor came near recommending a general jollification over the rssult. Tho Johns town Tribune next pitched in, and reversed the decision of the Echo as far as the office of County Commissioner was concerned. This excited the wrath of a contestant, who selected the Eoens burg Mountaineer as the medium for conveying th "ponderous workings of his mighty mind" to the world. lie proceeded to give a full statement of Lis views concemiug the investigation and the facta elicited, and wound up by affirming the dciicrt of the Echo. Of course the spirited edi tor of tho Tribune oould not tamely Eubmit to a'l tL;4. Their paper last week contains a Itader as long as William A. Stokes' oration on the II.r, barring the extract-j from the Bible, Buffon, Shaks-i e.ire and Rollin.in which the whole fc-r.troverFy is reviewed, arid a formidable array cf facta presented, which our neighbors appear to think renctr Mr. Fishc-r's calling and election IN TROUBLE. The Opposition to the Democracy, at the pre sent time, by no means manifest the harmonious and fraternal feeling they did previous to the late elections. The various aspirants for the Presi dency in their ranks are already beginning to bestir themselves, and we hare at this early day laree number of Richmonds in the field. Sewcrd, cf Sew York, is certainly determined to urge his claims with energy and zeal, and hu friends will see him through if they can. Hale, of New Hampshire, is also in the field, and will nmbnl.lv be the New Endand candidate. John i"" j " C. Fremont's friends insist that he shall have another chance for the "highest station in the gift of the American people," and it is highly probable that he will be the nominee. Judge M'Lean is also a candidate, and bimon Cameron appears determined to b in for one chance at least, and will doubtless give some trouble before the fight is over. The discussion of the merits of the various candidates is carried on in many of the leading Journals of the Opposition, in a stylo that manifests anything but a friendly or con ciliatory feeling among the aspirants. Seward and his friends are determined thar he shall not be choked off this time while a large number of his party hate him with an 'Mnteuse and holy hatred." Ilia Rochester speech was certainly a bold stroke of policy ; but if nominated, it will prove a "mill-stone" around his neck at the election. The American people will never elevate a man, holding such dangerous and treasonable sentiments, to the Presidency. While the Oppo sition are wrangling among themselves, the Democracy are every day becoming more firmly united. The disposition is every day gaining ground to let the past be "in the deep bosom of the ocean buried," and we confidently predict that in a few weeks our glorious old P&ity will again be a unit. So uote it be. The Irrvasioa of Mexico. Late news from Europe confirm the rumor cf the contemplated invasion of Mexico by Spain, to which we alluded last week. The object of Spain is finally to settle, at the point of tho sword if necessary, tke many points in dispute between the two countries. It is said that France and Great Britain will urate with Spain in demanding redress for the many grievances they have suffered from our sister Republic. If all those rumors prove true, we are approaching the begini.ing of troubles; for it is scarcely pos sible for tho United States to avoid becoming involved in the contest, if once commenced. We find in the Philadelphia Inquirer the following extract from the London Times of a late date, which seems to favor the establishment of a Protectorate over Mexico by the United States. After recapitulating the facts connected with the arrest ad imprisonment at Tampico, of Mr. Ilazeon, a British merchant, whom the British Consul had fruitlessly attempted to protect uuder the shelter of his flag, it says : "Now. we may fairly ask what interest have we in the defence of the Mexican Re public when such outrages arc committed against our fellow subjects upou Mexican soil? Under ordinary circumstances we might talk of reprisals and redress; but of what avail would anything that Mexico could give be to us? No government exists there from which we could exact satisfaction To levy an in demnity upon the inhabitants of Vera Cruz would be to plunder others as wc have been plundered ourselve3. We do not covet pos session of a nquare foot of Mexican soil whieh woulo to us be an encumbrance not an ad vantage. Why, then, should we interpose between the ambitious designs of the Govern ment of Washington and this wretched Mex ican republic? To as the totablishmer.t of any government, if it could enforce law and order in Mexico, Dot a loss " ALLEGED MURDER. Some clays ago, eays the Pittsburg True Press, an information was made beforo May or Weaver, by Edward D. Rice, charging George Hart, second mate of the steamer "Mareugo," with having pushed a colored fireman off the guard into the river, while tho boat was under way. There seemed to be some doubt as to the sanity of the informant, but nevertheless the Mayor proceeded to in vestigate the case. A hearing was fixed for Saturday forenoon, and tho following testi mony was elicited : E. D. Rice, sworn Wanted to get up to Pittsburg, and engaged on the "Marengo to work my passage up; started on Saturday evening from Cincinnati; was tired and set down between some barrels; saw a colored man standing there; saw Ueorge, I don't know his other name, approach him and push him towards tbe cook house; think he went overboard; and I did not see him agaio; the light wa3 such that I saw him dietinctlj; I intended going to Bedford to my daughter; knew Mr.. Russell in this city; think this oc curred the eight wa lett Cincinnati; wag sit i ting on tbe whiskey barrels when I saw the push given; am a resident of Bedford county; resided for some time in Somerset county. Captain M'Callum, sworn We left Cin cinnati about five o'clock, and missed a man off our boat that night; turned in Wont 10 o'clock and in the' morning was told that we had lost a man overboard; don't know wheth er he was a colored man or not; thought per haps, that inasmuch as he Lad shipped at Cincinnati, he might have gone ashore at some of the landings; know nothing about tho matter but what I heard from the hands on the boat; put a white man iu the place of the missing man; don't know his name; he had never been on the boat before. Officer Hague testified, that when Rice came to the Mayors office, he made a state ment in relation to what he had seen He said that he was suffering from diarrhoea, and that while in the water closet, he saw the mate push the negro overboard. Officer Patterson corroborated Mr. ITagucs testimony, and also stated that the witness. Rice, was drunk, when hs appeared at the Mayor's office. A. Q. Ross testified that he was engineer of the "Marengo," end had known Hart for four months. His character fur peace was good. J. W. Boyd was sworn, and testified to a difficulty between Rice and the defendant, on the boat; he heard the former threaten to have revenge on the latter. At this stage of the proceedings, the May or adjourned the further hearing of the case until Monday, the defendant giving 2,000 bail for his appearance at that hour. would be an advantage- titrt. Now. wa think this controversy from beginning to end baa beon highly improper and in bad tte. The law vests in tho Judges of the Court i f Quarter Sessions, the power of deciding wheth er Abal Lloyd or Lewis Fisher shall fill tho office r-f County Commissioner during tho next three years, and they have taken the necessary steps to obtain all the facts by appointing a Com mis iioner to take testimony. Surely, after this, eandor, prudence and justice demanded a suspen fion of opinion on the subject by the press, until a decision was rendered by that tribunal where That decision, when rendered, will doubtless be ' founded on equity and justice, and bo rendered without any regard to the feelings or views of the parti's on one side or the other. It will, we are cortsin, have more influence in convincing j h public which side is right and which wrong, than all the commants of editors who have either j an "an axe to grind," or whoso minds are excited by partisan feelings, After that decision is ren dered, the press will have tho undoubted right to eemment on the testimony but not until then. At the present time, a 3oung man is incarcer ated in our county jail on the charge of murder, and will probably bo tried next week. Would it be right, would it be just, would it be humane, for the editors of this county at the prescnt time, ro publish in their respective papers, statements cf the facts which they thiuk will be proven against him on his trial, and then express the opinion that he is guilty of th awful crime with which he stands charged. An opinion expressed through tho 6amo medium, that he is innocent, would be more humane, but equally improper. And yet, the same reasoning that would justify Newspaper comments and opinions with regard to the Washington township contested election, would justify Newspaper comments and opinions with regard to the guilt or innocence of William Arentrue. Of course in a government like oure, where all power is inherent in the people, it is "essentially ueressary that public opinion should be enlight ened." For this reason our govornment protects tho liberty of the press with jealous care. But it never was intended by tho founders of onr free institutions, that the press should assume the place or Courts and Junes, and presum to de cide cases before trial. The custom which we condemn, if universally adopted, would have a direct and irresistible tendency to destroy that freedom from biae and prejudice- which should exist la the minds of Courts and Juries, when ..u,.ub- lc and solemn duties with wafrli the law elotfc tbfra. The Ross Perjury Cass. In tbe Court of Quarter Scsssiocs, on Sat urday, John -II. Hampton, esq., asked the Court to order a process to issue for the ar rest of Wm. R. Ross, of Manchester, in or der that he might be sentenced to pay the costs, in a case of perjury, prefered by him against James Ross, of Cambria county, on which the jury returned a verdict of not guil ty, and that the prosecutor pay the costs. Mr Swartzwalder. counsel for Ross, stated to tbe Court, that his client had appeared one week ago, but no notice was taken of him, J 'j" aw-nunt of the J acobi homicide case oc cupying the attentiCZ C'f c Court Since then, he had been called on a visit to Ohio, and would be in Court, ready to receive sen tence on Saturday next, without the aid of a process. Mr. Hampton expressed himself satisfied, and so the matter rested. Many of the witnesses in this case were from Cambria county, and the trial of the case was several times postponed. As a con sequence, the bill of costs was very heavy, amounting to within a fraction of one thou sand dollars. Pitts. True Prets. Mr. Forsyth in Mexico. A correspon dent of the New Orleans Bee, having alluded to an incident in Mexico, in which Mr. For syth, tbe American Minister, took part, the editor of the Bee gives tho following expla nation : At the moment of Mr. Forsyth's departure a certain Mr. Loperano, who had for some time been secreting himself from the police, was arrested while entering the diligence, and summoned to pay $30.000 being-his share of the forced loan, or to go to prison. Lope rana, after some discussion, concluded to pay, and was allowed to leave. Rut it seems he had left behind him certain debts, and on ar riving at Orizaba another order for his arrest was presented. Thereupon Mr. Forsyth claimed Loperano as one of his servants, and declared that ho was included iu his own passport. In vain did the government sub alterns protest. Mr. Forsyth was inflexible, and the rich financier, assuming ad hoc the character of a valet, was triumphantly car ried off to Cardova. There tbe difficulty was renewed, but our Minister refused to budge an inch, and Loperano went on his way re joicing, and has probably arrived at Vera Cruz in 6afety.

We fiud in the New York Tribune, a letter from Kansas, written by ono who has no sympathy with the Demooratio party, which for once develops sound views and welcome truths. It indicates that the people of Kan sas are begiuing to appreciate their true con dition, and have sickened of tho agitation that has done so much to retard their pros perity. The admissioa is important, that the effect of the much abused "English bill" has been to restore complete quiet and confidence to the Territory. The following is an extract from the letter rofercd to : "We venture to say that more has been done for the organization of Kansas in the last four months than was accomplished in the four years prior to this, and why? Sim ply becaust we have put to rest, for a tini3 this abhorent political fiht. You may thiuk tue rcmirk a strange one but it is true. r rom the moment tbe passage of the 'Euc lish bill made clear our policy and our duty Kansrs has had peace, for our course was as distinctly in our minds on the day of its pas sage as it was on the night of the day of e- lection. Home application is begiuing to show itself in every direction. Contentment and happiness are making their impress on every countenance, and our internal econo my will show' greater developements of the soil, and improvements in homes, than have been shown for tho whole period of Kansas settlement. "A word as to the future : Our friends at the East are urging that we now take prompt action for the future; form a Constitution and dnn-.and immediate admission into tbe Union We thank them for their interest and their advice, but wc think the the policy a bad one for the present. Had we not better leave the question of assuming the responsibilities of a State until the people are ready for it? I know what I say when I tell you that the people are not ready for this step: - by T First, they are not prepared to sustain the burdens of the Government. Secondly, they are tired of politics, quacks hacks and inon tcbanks. They desire rest aud opportunity to improve their homes, cultivate their farms and get in a state independency. Our hope and prayer now are that grace will be given to tli3 President to seud us a good Governor as the last, and one that will follow his policy rnd that our friends will allow us to act for ourselves pledging to them that Kansas shall be, when admitted a State, one that shall not dishonor the free sisterhood. "Wo hope still further, that the men will be few and far between who will look to Kan sas to make or mend their political fortunes. From the begining she has been torment ed with too many ot this class." AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE. James A. Jones, the candidate for Con gress in Arkansas who run against Rust, was beaten only by six or seven thousand votes. On learning the result, the Ouachita IleralJ comes out with the annexed witty article. If Jones is not elected after this effusion, the next time he runs for Congress, we shall regard tho electors of Arkansas void of all appreciation of genuine humor : DEFEATED, OR CP SALT RIVBB. "We cave." Muggins. "Not in vain should 6uch examples be." Byron. We that is to say James A. Jones, editor of the Ouachita Herald, and late candidate for Congress are ingloriously defeated. To use a classical and entirely original expres sion : "we have met the enemy and we are theirs." We evidently cast our pearls before swine. We magnanimously, and at a sacri fice of our habitual self-respect, offered to serve the people who had no appreciation of the offering. We didn t make the people, and we are not under contract to supply them with brains If they were willfully blind to our merit, the fault is theirs. If they don't want the rights of the South preserved invio late, why they may have them pickled for all wi care. We did our duty, and our con science is easy. At tne enormous expense of sixteen dollars and thirty-two cents, we punted a multitude of circulars, sufficient 10 elect any man, with which .we flooded this congressional district, and a large portion in the Cherolieo Nation. we wrote to our triends, and to some who were not our friends to rally to our support. But they didn't rally. A great many persons wrote to us that we should get an overwhelming vote; and they were not deceived it was over whelming. Many credulous persona told us that we should bo elected ; we listened to thioi and were deceived. Bat we forgive them, for tbev made us very comfortable for awhile, and all earthly happiness is trans itory. We shall never become a candidate again without consulting somebody on tho subject first, and ascertaining whether they do or they do not desire U3 to run ; for we are satisfied that it is folly to be a candidate unless somebody docs want you to run, and will vote for you on the strength of that desire. We are not withtut consolation. We are not the only candidate that was defeated There are a number who are in as bad a fix as ourselves ; and besides, greater men thaa we claim to havrt been as badly beaten. Gen. Harrison, afterwards President of the United States, was once defeated for county ' clerk, in Ohio, and James K. Polk was beaten for Governor of Tennessee. Wc are in gooa compauy, ana tnereioro snail uot complain. There is ono thing for which the people should bo grateful to u?. We did not bore them with long and tiresome speeches, as some of the aspirants did. Wc remained "quietly at home," ani they so highly ap preciated our modesty that the' have given us tbe privilege of continuing to do so. We are thankful for small favors. Among our numerous friends, ex-Governor Drew is entitled to our warmest acknowledge ments. His intention doubtless was to assist us in beating Rust, by procuring a large aud influential majority of the Democratic party to vote for mm. W ith this object in view, he made a brilliant canvass, ending in no less brilliant failure. But notwithstanding lie carried off a considerable portion of our vote, we honor him for his laudable inten tions. Hereafter he has but to command us and wo will obey if it suits us to do so. To the fifteen patriotic and chivalrous voters who cast their suffrages for us in Pike couuty. we bog leave to tender our un feigned gratitude, Wc owe them a dbet that will be difficult to repay. As a slight evi dence of our high appreciation and lasting regard, we propose that if they will forward us a list of their names, we will send them the Herald for life at the usual rate, 3 00 per annum, invariably iu advance. In conclusion, we desire permission to re mark that the small experiment we have just made is eminently satisfactory. Whatever aspirations we may Lave bad are entirely subdued, 1 he pursuit of a seat in Congress j "under difficulties" is one in which we ha?e ! no desire to engage. We are satisfied that we carry with us to our retirement the best wishes of a generous though ungrateful peo ple, and are content FOREIGN NEWS.

Mr. Whitehouse, the electrician, again writes to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, on the subject of his conviction that the ca ble may yet be rendered available, lie as serts that recent experiments have citariy ae- monstrated to him the system ot testing uere- tofore resorted to is to the last degree falla cious and inconclusive, and that with such a source of error underlaying all tho electrical r.nlnion" which have been relied UPOU. the unequivocal demonstrations which he has ob tained induce him, in justice to the enter prise, at once to impeach the validity of the accepted decision upon the state of the ca ble. He reiterates his belief that the fault in the cable is at no great distance from the shor e, and concludes his letter as follows: "I turn now with pleasure, to recount to the directors an incident which I have glean ed since my arrival at Valeutia, and which I doubt not. they will learn with equal grati fication. Shortly after the repairs had beon affected to which allusion has already been made, and when the cabld was in its most perfect working order, the Superintendent at Newfoundland, wuen all tne oinciai messa ges of the day had been wot ked off, gave per mission, in order to keep the clerks employed for the exchanges of conversational inter course between Newfoundland and Valcntia , for a time. Freed thui from the fear of any responsibility attaching to errors from care lessness or haste, the clerks on duty manipu lated at a higher f peed than had ever before been obtained, Newfoundland u-.uing my in strument and induction on coils for transmis sion, while Valentia received the signals ou Thomson's galvanometer, and recorded by finger key upon piper; the station clock mar ked th time upon the paper in hours, half hours, as well as minutes, so that there can bo no error in the computation of speed. "I have caiefully examined the records then male; the signals are perfect, and the rate at which, for a length of time that con- j versation was kept up in words at full length was euch (if that speed alone could bo wan tained, and I aiu confident it can even be in creased) as would enable the directors, after the payment of all working expenses, to de clare a dividend at the rate often per cent, per anum upon the preseut capital; while lay ing aside, within twelve months, a reserve of t 00,000. This computation is in ado for the six working days only, allowing a margin of four hours per diem for unavoidable deiays and interruptions. "These facts and these figures, together with the calculations upon which they are fouuded, I am prepared at any time to sub mit aud to substantiate before the directors and bharehoider?; and this is the condition to which I still believe tbe cable admits of be ing again safely and easily restored at au ear ly day.
