"Tittisbat Tifanotae" in tip Legislators. That the Know Nothing crusade has seat some pretty fair epeci teens of the "littlebat Titmouse" order of politicians to the Legislature i 3 now very evident And it is also evident that the good old ('omulonweainh, not yet fully recovered from the infliction of Ritnerism twenty years ago, will have to pay pretty "dear for the whstle." It will , be recollected by all who have reat "Ten Thou- sand a Year," that the hero, the immortal Tit tlebat, when brought out for • seat in Parliament through the intrigues of the Law Rem of Snap, Gatnlion & Quirk, promised the people that if riveted he would procure the passage of a bill to '•gi‘e every thing to every body," a measure of r.f , ,rm that carried him triumphantly into office. Now. the Tittlebat Tittuouses at Harrisburg, in o.ise-, owe their elevation to promises of 1 such impracticable "reform," and hence are forced to make a move in the direction pro mised. -t go home shorn of power, awl of title, like their prototype, the immortal Titmouse! Amou g the bills introduced of the character indicated, is one by a member of the Smith fam ily, named D L., from the county of Allegheny. i This bill proposes that after its passage "all col ored male persons, of African or mixed extra*. tion" shall have the priviledge of the elective franchise -as fully and amply as the same is en joyed" by white people, and that all laws incom patible with the rights thus granted "be and the same are hereby repealed " Witliont stopping to argue with this Tittlebat Titmouse from Alleghe ny as to the policy of such a measure of "reform,'' we would merely latut that if there is a boy in the Commonwealth, of the full age of ten years, that does'nt know that such a Law would be un constitutional and void, then the said boy, thus ignorant, ought to be soundly thrashed! The C. , nstit iou of Pennsylvania. an instrument sup posed, by our ablest jurists, to be paramount to "Kuov, Nothing"legislatiis enactments even,pro vides that- none but white men shall exercise the elective frauctit-t- Whether this provision is right or wroug is nothing to do with the ques tion, and as we said abode, we are not about to argue it We will say, however, that we believe there are a kiod many" persons of Afrimn or mixed extraettoti - in the Commonwealth who are loitter iblorior.l. awl hence l e tter aequainwil with heir dories it• utlzeu., than this Tittlebat Titmouse from Al.-glieuy.

PHILADELPHIA, stall, 21, 1855 Saturday t weidentaly happened in at the Supreme Court at the time the motion for a pre liminary injunction, on the part of the Cleve land, Painesville end Ashtabula Railroad Com• patty, vs the city of Erie, was being argued The care was opened by Judge Thompson, of your place, on the part of respondents. He of fered first an exemplified copy of a record of a case in Equity, now pending before the Court Common Pleas of your county, which, after be ing compared with the ease pending here, proved to be identical with it, except that in this case the complainants pray the Court to locate their road for them, in case they should disapprove of the proposed location made by the Company-- a very singular prayer indeed, in as much as it has not been heretofore understood that the Su preme Court bad attached to other onerous duties that of a board of civil engineers He followed this by another exemplified record from the Common Pleas of your county, in which the Complainants in this case lay that they hays lee gated and propose to build a rued from Sassafras street to Ash Lane. These records were evi dently ■ "wet blanket" upon the hopes of the counsel of complainants. It appeared in their I wuutenances. They endeavored to explain it away, but it was th , re under seal of Court and must have its legal effect. This was followed by affidavits of Mayor King, City Engineer Low, High Constable Deemer, and several others in. which all Equity on the part of complainants was completely diaproved. Mr. Walker, of your city, then opened the argument on the mo tion for a special injunction, and argued every thing in the ease except the motion before the Court. Mr W argued the cue with a good deal of earnestness, but occupied his time more in endeavoring to bring to the notice of the Court the great hardships to which the Railroad Company had been and were likely to be subject ed than to s close and logical argument upon the question before the Court for adjudicatiou He d i ve not look so vigorous as I have been accus tomed to see him His unfortunate and un pleasant connection with the railroad trouble* in your city. has undoubtedly made iuroads upon his constitution. lie seems to cling to the rail road trouble as though it was the one idea of his life He is without doubt, however, an able man and a good lawyer. H: was followed by Judge Thompson, who, in an argument of an hour or more, candid, close, logical and convinc ing, dcwoustrated what, to my unprofessional mind, seemed to be must conclusive reasons agaiust the exercise by the Court of this most Fs:.tant and dangerous exercise of their power to eojwu without a full hearing He based a strong/ argument upon the fact that the same matter was now pending in 'a Court of compe tent and concurrent jurisdiction, iu which as 114 In this, respondents were commanded to appear and answer ou the first Monday in t,'eh ruary u.•lt, that respondents om i t " not I to both ',tee...at the .ante time In illustration of this predicament of the City, he yuut~•.l the command addres't•d to one of Sir IVslter characters• For wttieli King. lient.anso.+Twit!.. drwek Tt, which )I.:r Nlpro.itth made .6 in—c I.upr) sponse, t u impule, of genuine %N it. 1.1741 '•(', to Pftwiwo4. w'.-to willing to speak ,1 1 ,y King„ cept Mayor Kiog The le: rued Ind able ad vocate presented the eu., , 1,1 oirt a all cispeets He war .to :mention, by the Court and by the 3Utlo lit•••; the room was teueh erowde,l f,•,-1 hutch interest in your trouble., aud • r. t c•• l .portunit) of getting light uvou the Matter tv improved Mr. Grisciom, of our city. followed Judge Thompson with a few remarks Mr Meredith closed the case for complainant. tits argument was able and and some features in the case brought in t.:, action his shrewdness and management. lie had .otne hard things to get over, and whether li t • succe e ded or not we can tell at the meeting of the ()our& on Tuesday neat The complain ante luid retained as counsel, Messrs.

The Court met on Tuesday, but without decid ing the matter treated of above, postponed it till t o-dhy. Who's Governor of Now York 1 ---..-- Situated so near the New York line, we can't help taking an interest in New York politics.— We, therefore, enjoy the "free fight," which is just now raging,bEiween the followers of "Sam" and the followe Qs Seward, hugely: The fol lowers of "Sam" are all opposed to the new Go- Tensor Clerk, and the question they are just now discussing is whether hr i= s.ettitlly Governor or not. The catk-- of :his di4uussion is explained in this wire. Ili* message was silent upon the anti-rent question, although it is known he pledg ed himself to, and was nominated by the Anti- Renters. A committee of Anti-Renters therefore called upon him within few days past, for an explanation, to ascertain bow it happened that he had ignored the whole subject in his message. The Governor replied that he had intended to mention it its his message, and had made a note of the subject, and written it out, but that his Secretary in tea turribiey the meteittge, had omit. ed it. In view of these facts the Albany Reyis ter, "dam's" organ, pertinently inquires: "We ask now, in all seriousness, who is Gov ernor? We know right well who was elected to that high Atte, and whose name is appended to executive doeueueuts. But here was a oath jest iu . which a large number of people felt a deep interest. bat whether they were right or wrong, Mr. CLARA is estopped as an honorable man from questioning their motives, or the cor rectness of the measure to which they desired him to call the attention of the Legislature. lie professed to sympathise with them, and promised to speak for them in his message. lie wrote out, according to his statement, his views on the subject for his message, and his Secretary omits to isiarrt it, in other words, sitpremeat it. Now will some one answer the question, who is Governor?" Ni' A shocking accident occurred at Jersey City oa turtle), morning last. Just as the train was 'tarsi's g from the depot of the New York and Erie /kart mil a wvman put her bead out of the window of the oar to speak to one of the employ ees.

Have the ultra Temperaisee men teen "Sam" lately? If not, Id as, like singe Yankee, ask another question; have they read Gov. Pollock's famous inaugural? We take it for granted they will all gnawed the query in the affirmative; and hence we proceed to call their attentiowto a brief review of the past campaign, and contrast the facts we shall set forth with the present state of the case The ultra temperance men of the State —some of them honest sealots in the cause, and some of them dirshoneet politicians, who had seis ed .*pun the reform as means of political power - - Were dissatisfied with the position of GOT. Big ler upon the question. They wanted him to agree to sign any "Maine Law" the Legislature:should pass; but the Governor, having more regard for his oath of Ace than political success, refused to give any such pledge. He told them be sin cerely deplored the evils of intemperance, sod was willing, as he had always been, to sauetion any proper measure to mitigate and, if po-sible, entirely remove this vice; but he would not pledge ' himself to sanction a law, the detailsof which he had not seen. Spoken like an honest man, and if the managers of the movement had been honest themselves, the Governor's position would have been satisfactory. But it was not, and forthwith the Democratic press, and the Demo cratic party, and our Democratie gxecutive, be came the targets at which the political orators of temperence hurled their shafts. The "rum par ty," the "rum candidate," and the "rum press" were the mild and gentlenoenly terms used to de signate the Governor and his supporters. In vain the Democratic supporters of Bigler pointed to the parity of his past life as a pledge; in vain they pointed to Pollock's letter to the committee appointed to address him, wherein he promised to sign such a law only upon the condition ;bat "the people should demand" its passage at the ballot-hoz! All would not do; Pollock, and Pol lock alone, was the only man fit to receive tent teraece votes! Well, they succeeded; Bigler was "whistled down the wind" by temperance Dem ocrats, and Know Nothing bigots: Pollock be came Governor by the grace of cold water and the fear of the Pope; and now we ask our tem peranee friends—thosegentlemen who based their opposition to Bigler upon temperance grounds— !if they have read "Sam's" tenspenence portion of the inaugural? Here it is: "The people having, in tht. recent election, decided against the passage of a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spiritous liquors, it will become the duty of the Legislature and Executive to consider what other legislation may be necessary to control and correct the evils of intemperance Our present licenie system, al- though highly penal, and corrective of many abuses, is still defective. The facility with which licenses are obtained for the sale of malt and other liquors, is an evil that demands reform The number of places ►n which these are sold should be limited by law; and no license gran. ted unless by the Courts, and in the manner now required in the ease of public inns and tar. erns, and subject, to the same regulations, restrie tious and penalties The desecration of the Sabbath by a traffic..., demoralizing in its results, ix iu direct opposition to the law of God and the moral sentiment of the people, and is a reproach to the age iu whh.ll we live A stringent and comprehensive law, remediel in its provisions, and vindicating the great law of the Sabbath, in its physical and moral relation to man, is required not ou.y by the moral sense of community, but wuu(i be justified by every sentiment of humanity, every consideration of philanthropy, every impulse of pure and genuine patriotism. The history of intemperance it written in tears and blood. Pauperism, taxation and crime follow in its train. A remedy should be applied; and public sentiment, with the full force of its moral sane lion, wi:l approve all prudent and constitutional legislation on this subject." "And is that all"? doubtless asks some good temperance Democrat, who expected to see a Maine Law one of the chief planks in the Govvr nor's inaugural' Yes, deluded friend, that 041 all.' That is the reward "Sam" offers youiyuLtike sacrifice last Fall of your political in• l igrity. That is the ' , feast of fat things," to partake of which you contnbuted your vote to sacrifice one of the purest and best men that ever occupied the Exe cutive chair of the State. Veri i ly your vote was cheaply bought. The Maine Law, o r on e 'situ,. lar, is coolly given the go by, and "other" legis lation, more compatible with the tastes of "Sam," recommended As the Democratic Cajon well says, "What now becomes of the declaratiou of political temperance, as well as of real temperance men, made during the campaign, that the version of Mr. Pollock's letter by the Democratic press, was a 'base misrepresentation?' This is an im portant question, and we should be pleased, in deed /o see some excuse given. If temperance men are satisfied with Mr. Pollock on this ques tion, we have nothing to say; but we wish to in form them very politely, that hereafter, when they engage in polities and hold conventions to advance the interests of a political party through temperance, they mast stick to the truth, more especially when the game is played with the as asistaace of preachers. The truth in this whole matter is, the temperance question was convert ed into a moat miserable hobby for a set of reck less politicians to get office. They have prosti tuted a great moral reform movement to a dis honorable purpose, and we should not be sur prised if the powded good expected to be deriv ed to community by tree temperance. men from this cause, is thus postponed for years. TUX PACMC XMIALOAD SILT..—The Pacifie Railroad bill was amended in the House of Representatives, on Satxu•day, by adopting Mr. MeDmgal's substitute--yeas 122, nays 70, and then passed to a third reading—yeas 105, nays 97.

When the chief °Seer of the road heard of it, he hired about twctity-t've men from Buffalo, armed them with revolvers, &e., and went over to take possession of and protect the track. On arriving at the scene of disturbance, the party were fired upon by the . laborers, who where armed with rides, and a re gular fifht‘then ensued, the party from Buffalo faring the worst—one of their men, ";imon Wein plc, being killed, and two or three others wound ed, one of whom dang e r o usly so. Two or three of the laborers where also wounded. The officer's party, however, sneceeeded in arresting about a d ozen the l a borers, and among them, it is be lieved, the man wit() shot Wemple. Many rumors and versions of a e a ffair are floating about, but the strove statement is as near the truth as at present can be arrived at.
