ccp A letter from Washington says: —The of
fice seekers have here played their cards skillfully.
They have represented that Mr. Polk would make
but few removals, and that those who staid here
urging their claims would be overlooked. In this
way they frightened the green ones home. The
knowing ones remained to divide the spoils.
A SINGIMATI ScExt.—A few Sundays since, at
the Oth St. Church, in Cincinnati, the minister not
having arrived early in the desk, a huge dog ran up
the aisle, ascended the pulpit and put his paws on
the bible. The expressions of his countenance and
the movement of his tail were se ludicrous, that
moat of the congregation were obliged to leave the
church. The minister *hardy after arrived, and
discovering the marks of a dog's paws upon the
bible betrayed so much astonishment, that the con
gregation again laughed. After a while the service
went on as usual.
Crimes and Oasualities.
The mails of lust week brought us several ac
counts of deeds of vio:ence and serious accidents.
The Louisville Journal states that Pierce Tyner, a
wealthy citizen of Marion county, Georgia, living
twenty miles south of Monticello, eight years of
age, was shot, in his field, on the 27th February.—
His grandson, Ransom Tyner, was arrested upon
suspicion, and held to bail in the sum of $1,200;
though it appeared that he had no animosity against
the old man, and no inducement to kill hint.
The same paper states that a Mr. Barr, of Mar
ion county, Mississippi, overseer for Mr. Thomas
Mlaughlin, arrested a negro man, a low weeks
since, and the negro inflicted upon hire a blow wills
a bludgeon which has proved mortal. The negro
was arrested and imprisoned, hut broke two huge
chains and made his escape.
The steamboat Decatur, Captain Wilson, bound
front New Orleans for the Tennessee river, with a
full cargo, was burned near No. 66, in the Missis
sippi, last week. She caught fire between the wheel
house and wash house from sparks of her chimnies
Suring a storm. All efforts to extinguish it proved
unavailing. The Mississippi being so high as to
overflow its banks, it was impossible to- run her
close ashore, and the passengers and crew had to
wade and swan out with nothing but what they
had on. Tho clerk saved the money belonging to
the boat. A negro woman was burned to death.
The Decatur was insured for $ll,OOO, which will
210 t cover the value of the boat.
'ise steamer Nodaway , Captain Clegliorn, struck
a ',nag in descending the Missouri river, on the 10th
.ult., et Smith's bar, and sunk in ten feet water.--
It is expected that the boat will be a total loss, and
a considerable portion of the cargo damaged. She

" Tho ~'9Ttrna picas De mocracy:'
In order to show how harmoniously the "har
monious democracy" are harmonizing, we give the
following extracts from papers lathe service of the
said " harmonious democracy." The first is from
a paper published in the town whereof GEORt3 E W.
Woonwann is a resident, and quotes the language
of another paper published in that vicinity.
From the Lucerne Democrat,
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
We have observed with regret, that a few of our
brethren of the press, in dilferent parts of the State,
are finding fault with the democrats who voted for ;
general Cameron for United States Senator. The ;
following paragraph, upon this subject we extract
from the Wyoming Patrol,—and which is by far
the wisest and hest advice on this subject.
" We commend to our democratic brethren
throughout the State, the cultivation of an amicable
and conciliatory spirit. Much evil and no good.
must be the inevitable result of an opposite course." I
More cannot be said than is contained in this
well timed and excellent remark. General Came
ron is elected. He is a democrat and will represent
the great interests of Pennsylvania. with credit to
himself and honor to the nation. His views on the
great mutter that touches the ; interests of every
Pennsylvanian—the tariff—ate orthodox to the let
ter. We cannot conceal our surprise that .y dem
ocratic editor should make war on the men who
voted for General Cameron. What have they done
--or what has he done that should call forth any
unkind remark l General Cameron is a practical
man—has been the architect of his awn fortune.—
Frain the station of a poor printer's boy, he has
now been elevated to a position, second only to the
President of the Union. Among the gentlemen
who voted for him, we see the names of many gen
tlemen whose democracy and uniform political con
sistency, have never been questioned. General
William S. Ross, the able representative in the Sen
ate, from Luzerne and Columbia, voted for this gen
tleman. Gen. Ross has upon all occasions from
his first political more, been on the side of democ
racy and the people. He comes ham democratic
stock, and his ("other. who is now deceased, was
among the men who fought the battles 21 democ
racy under the Jeffersonian hannet—and for years
was the head and front of the democracy of North
ern Pennsylvania.
Our present Senator is ton well known in this
part of Penesylvanis, to require our feeble pen to
sustain him. He is too firmly fixed in the affec
tions of the people to be removed or jostled by
threats or denunciations. Those who knotv Gen.
Ross, must be satisfied, and fully satisfied, that in
his legislative course. no principle would operate
upon him, but to serve the party and its measures to ;
which he has ever belonged. He it a worthy man
—an honest man—and a firm and unflinching dem
i
saes.
With Gen. Ross in the convention, we observe
the names of Messrs. Smith of Herbs,' Horton,
Eyer,titewart, Dimmick. M orely, Struthers, E baugh.
and many other highly distinguished democrats and
no known to the country. To denounce these men,
only nerves to endear them more and more to the
democracy, and therefore we regard it as unwise
and impolitic to attempt to throw the fire-brand into
the party. The great portion of the democratic
pleas in the State, is satisfied with the election of
General Cameron—fully. A few only have tabled
the cry. Among the prominent ones, are the Penn
sylvanian. the two Chester papers, and one or two
others of less character and influence. But what
ever course may be taken, it cannot avail any thing
but to create discord. This is unwise and foolish
In the extreme. We eon only speak fur northern
Pennsylvania, and we are fully satisfied, that the
men who voted for Mr. Catneron, ore most fully
sustained by public opinion, and the people now
rest secure that a man represents Pennsylvania in
the Senate, upon whose vote on the tariff, an it is,
they can fully rely. Time will prove it, and the
State is safe as well as the great republican party.
So far as regards the caucus system, we may
devote a column hereafter—and give our views at
length.
Prom Me ltanlingrlon Ciobe.
TJNITED STATES SENATOR.
The sixteen renegade Democrats of the Senate
and House who supported Cameron have proved
false to the time honored usages of the pnrty, and
basely betrayed the trust reposed in them by a too
confiding constituency. Elected as Democrats,
solemnly pledged to sustain Democratic men and
measures, they have sold " their birthright for a
mess of pottage,' and bartered themselves and the
principles of the party that elected them for filthy
lucre. They have earned, and we trust, will receive
the external execrations of a betrayed and indig
nant constituency.
The Election of Senator took place on the 13th
inst. Public notice had been given that a meeting
of the Democrats of both houses would be held on
the evening of the 12th, to nominate a suitable can
didate for their support. The object was to advise
and consult—to canvass the claims of the promi
nent randidates—to reconcile, if possible, differen
ces of opinion, and present a man worthy the uni
ted support of the entire democracy. The meeting
was held—was attended by two thirds of the dem
ocrats of both houses, and the Hon. George W.
Woodward having received a majority of their votes,
a resolution was unanimously adopted declaring him
the candidate of the democratic party for the silica
of Senator.
It is idle to think or say that these men had any
plausible excuse for their treason. It is well known
that the Cashier of the Middletown Dank, had been
constantly in negoeiation witlt them for the previous
week—it is well known that at the time the demo
cratic meeting was held in the Capital, the rene
gades were holding a secret caucus at Prince's—it
in well known they there agreed to support this of
ricer of the Middletown Bank—it is known that the
same kind of negotiations were carried on between
this same Cashier and the leading whigs and na
tives, and that this fair business transaction" was
perfectly understood—it is known that Cooper, the
leader of the whip, was clossetted with thin Cash
' ier, and afterwards labored without ceasing to se
cure his election, even going to the bed aides of bro
ther whigs at the hour of midnight, and imploring
them to support him—it is known that a constant
communication was kept up between the leading
whigs and recreant democrats—that they had enter-
HeJ into a solemn league and covenant, which was
4o bp executed at all hazards,
?be recreant democrats knew that Cameron hail
given ea cities pledges to the whip and natives, and
yet they talk about p, inciple ! 0, shame.

Zileetro 37ag netie Telegraph.
The Electra Magnetic Telegraph between Balti
more and Washington is now a branch of the mail
service, and under the control of the General Post
Office Department.
Prof. Morse, his Assistant Superintendent, Henry
J. Rogers and Alfred Vail, Esgrs., and all others in
any way connected with the Telegraph had the
oath of office administered to them at Washington
on the 31st ult. We learn, says the Baltimore A
merican, that rooms have been procured in the Past
! Office Building in this city for the Telggraph Office
at this end of the Line, which will be opened when
the wires can be extended from the Railroad Depot
in Pratt street. We have been favored with the
following extract from the orders of the Postmaster
General to Professor Morse, which will fully ex
plain the plan to be pursued hereafter:
"For the transmission of each despatch there
shall be paid in advance, at the office front which it
is sent by the applicant, one quarter of one cent fur
each telegraphic character or letter.
• • • . .
Upon lhe'reception of a despatch at either otlice
it shall be the duty of the officers to have the same
translated in a fair hand-writing, carefully envelo

(timely destroyed, and to place the despatch in the
!Inds of the penny post for delivery, who shall be
entitled to receive the same compensation therefor
as for the delivery of letters transmitted now by

It is farther ordered that, the said Superinten

permit to be seen by any person the contents of ,
any despatch except the individual or individuals
to whom it may be addressed."

A Wet:Team, OnrxxAnn.—Two gentlemen
hunting a few days since in a ewamp near Little
Rock, were attracted by a faint, moaning cry, which
led them to a spot where they found a poor creature
lying in the mud and water, and suffering from the
effects of mania a-polo. His name via Mays,
and it was supposed that he had remained in tha
situation in which he was found for two days and
nights. He had eaten the flesh from the ends of
his fingers, and was in a state of the greatest suf
fering. Though partially restored to his reason by
prompt and humane treatment, his recovery was
very doubtful.
