Dora went to her chamber, thoughtfully,
and this was the beginning of happiness
that few hearts taste on earth.
Yes, happintss! althouga Dora's soul
was troubled to tts depths, to know, to
feel sure that her lover's views wer..l low
and narrow—that there was in his char-
acter the bigotry of manhood; that un
truthfulness was hiding secret theories
and determined will.
Watching, with newly opened 'eyes,
her lover's soul, shit became confirmed
that it was small and poorly led. The
graceful manners, the gentlemanly bear
ing. the brilliant wit, were but elegant
decorations to a vain, lean spirit.
The beingthat she loved in her imagi
cation had more body and less clothing to
it; she could not take for her sours mate
a man all mind and manners, without a
Christian heart !
She sp4ke vVith him in gentle confidence
of nil she hoped to be, and of all she ho
ped for him, and he grew res. less under
it—wearied, rebelled, resented, scorned
her—was glad to break the bond which
she sorrowfully said she feared could nev
er be happy one.
Happiness seemed to Dora a thing she
never was to enjoy again upon the earth.
She did not wi'h to marry Robert, but
it was hard to give him up when she h a d
loved him on. It was such a disappoint
meat to believe he was not a man, with
great soul in image of the Divine.

with his elegance and brilliant words,

That evening, when you shut your

so different from your fond hope, Lewis

THE POOR HOUSE OFFICIALS,
KENZIE'S DEFENSE OF HIMSELF
AND OFFICIAL ASSOCIATES.
There in so little point iu this lengthy
document that we hardly deem it neces
sary to notice it at all, believing the mere
reading • fit will confirm the evidence al
ready presented against its authors. We
observe, however, that Kenzie does not
deny employing a physician for the poor
house at more titan double the salary as
ked by another equally as good ! Ile
does not deny the loaning and afterwards
bestowing a valuable yoke of cattle to
John Hicks! He does not deny that a
considerable amount of property brought
to the poor house by paupers remains un
accounted for; nor does he even deny that
brother Leas got $5OO more for the
farm than he originally asked foi it. As
he has attempted a long vindication, and
is entirely silent on all these grave char
ges, makes no attempt to deny or explain
them, it is fair to regard his silence as a
nirSiCtisTaillin oath ^air t•ltelviria
dries,' but makes an effort to divert at
tention from them by complimenting the
convenient Steward's skill in husbandry !
This dodge won't take with the people.
They want to know 'what Mr Glasgow
furnished, at his own cost, to the amount
of more than a thousand dollars. If he is
a good farmer, he must have learned at a
very tender age, and the fact, if true, will
not explain the 'sundries.' Kenzie's un
lawful dealing with the poor house is
virtually justified on the ground that oth
er Directors had been guilty of the same
malfeasance. This reminds us of the ex
cuse of the first partaker of stolen fruits—
'The woman whom thou gayest to be with
me, she gave me of the tree and•l did eat;'
or as Kenzie has it, 'the Directors who
did precede me, they did violate the law,
' and I imitated their example !' Another
reason assigned in justification is his good
luck in passing the account before the Au
ditors ! We can not find it in our heart
to comment on this portion of Kenzie's
letter as it deserves. It reveals a kind of
morality we do not understand.—lt must
be Straightout ethics. No Christian so
ciety exce,•t the Jesuits, could be suppo
sad to sanction it and retain the confidence
or respect of Honest minds, either in the
church or wit of it.
One other point, and we have done with
Kenzie's special pleadings.
Poor Kenzie, with a consciousness of
his defence ess condition, and shrinking
from the frowns of just indignation :hat
meet him on every side, turns Imploring
ly to his Straightout friends for sympa
thy. As the surest way of rallying the
hungry rabble, he shrewdly reminds
them that he has patronized their organ
and its locofoco ally, up town. Now we
are glad Kenzie has done this; it remove,
every doubt of his true position, and he
will not again be able to seduce honest
Americans and Republicans into his sup
port, but will be left to the miserable fac
tion, the 243, that voted Hazlehurst, and
sacrihsed our Senator for W harton votes,
lust tall. We any, we are glad that Ken
zie has unwittingly laid aside his mask.
We shall continue to unmask the whole

seekers until our party is purged of a ice.
uiti im as onions as that of Rome and vastly
more contemptable, But Kenzie says
we opposed the prominent candidates at
the last election. We opposed what we
knew to be the Straightout, Hazlehurst
end of the county ticket, and are proud of
our success. Our only regret is, that we
did not carry our opposition fur enough,
as far as our friends dea.red, and purge
the party a little more. But we erred in
ignorance, having a better opinion of cer
tain gentlemen then they deserve. Wu
shall know better hereafter, and every
man that can not present a clear p olitica l I
record, shall never be imposed on the abluational.

But Kenzie had another motive in this
distribution of poor house patronage; ho
wished to expose his swindling operations
as little as possible. This end he accom
plished by selecting a ,nedium of publi
cation that falls into the hands of very few
of the deceived voters and tax payers who
placed him in power, The American it
is well known, has not two hundred sub
scribers in the county, outside of this Bor
ough; and a considerable portion of these
few being of Kenzie's kidney, his rascali
ty would be brought to the notice of very
few honest readers through this medium
Sagacious Kenzie ! But alas ! all his
cunntng avails him nothing. The peo

JONES OF THE REGISTER,
If any of Jones' over charitable friends
have entertained a lingering hope that he
would yet abandon the ruined fortunes of
the miserable remnant of a faction of
Straightouts that have bewildered him
vith their orgies and corrupted him with
their Jesunism—the last number of the
Regi,,ter must dispel the delusive hope.
Jones is, evidently, a doomed politician,
political reprobate, too far gone to either
confess his party sins, or defend them:
and sunk so low es to quote in his behalf.
an article which no decent man would
reaa twice, from a coteznporary which no
respectable editor, who knows its cherac•
ter, would recognise. Poor Jones !
pity him, and recommend that somenung
be done for him. We propose that the
243 that were left of his party In this
county at the last election. shall forth
with, if still carrying the 'Dark lantern,
send Jones the light of their sympathy
and of the lantern. Suppose they apply
to the 'aide door' operators to be Rime:tett

position.
PHILADELPHIA DAILY BULLETIN.
We have been for some time in receipt
of the Evening Bulletin, publish id by
Cunnings & Peacock, and find it one of
the best, if not "the very best Daily that

us the same news in the morning, that
the Ledger and others bring in the even.

politician and of importance to the

journal, not a toady that cringes and licks
the hand of power for the sake of patron.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
We learn from our friend, Capt. John
A Osborn, that a very serious accident
occurred on the Six Mile Run branch of
t he Bros(!top Railroad, in this coun'y, on
the 30th ult. It appears that two young
men, by the names of Ira Foster and Sam
uel Long, both residents of that neighbor
hood, were employed in loading cars with
hoop poles, and af er getting one loaded,
they got on the front of it, and two oth
ers got on behind for the purpose of bra
king By some means the brake would
not work, and the result was that the car
ran off; the two men behind threw them
selves off but sustained little injury. The
other two in front could not get off, and
when they came down to the roam road
at Riddlesburg, they came in contact with
four other cars. The collision was tear
ful, and young Foster had his leg broken
above the knee, while the other, Samuel
Long, who is only about 14 years of age.
had one thigh broken in two places; the
other Was also br"ken, and his lett fool
badly crushed.—They were conveyed to
their homes, and the services of a couple
of medical gentlemen called into regaisi•
Lion. Foster appears to be doing well,
but Long's recovery is considered doubt
ful.

sizes and ages, between 5 and 21 years,
Male and Female. This School has been

This School stands among the first in
the District for size and progress.

about forty pieces on the Programme;
Deolanuaions, Dialogues &c.. the princi

HANGMAN'S DAY 1% LANCASTER.
Execution of Andcrson & Richards.
LANCASrEIi, April 9, 1858.
This is the day appointed by the Governor
for carrying into effect the sentence of the
Court upon Alexander Anderson and Henry
Richards, the two negroes convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Garber and Mrs. Ream, two
respectable elderly ladies of Manhiem town
ship, about five miles from this city. The
murder was committed on Tuesday morning,
December 16th, at the house of Mr. Conrad
Garber, while he was out attending to business.
Mrs Ream was a relative by Marriage of Mrs.
Garber, and had called in to see her. While
she was there, the murderers came in, on pre.
ext of obtaining a job as chimney sweeps,
and finding the women defenceless, they stab
bed them, leaving them dead on the floor, and
then stole such money as they could lay their
hands on and fled.
As soon as the crime was discovered, the
population was aroused and pursuit made o
the supposed murderers, who bad been seen
lurking about the neighborhood. They were
I arrested the same evening, and tried and con.

sion of their guilt, and acknowlegded the jus
tice of their conviction an d punishment.
The execution, of course, had to take place
in the yard of the prison, before a limited
number of spectators. The gallows was erect
ed yesterday. It consisted of four upright
timbers, sixteen feet high, connected at the top
by four cruse ties, across two of which the
beam rested to which the ropes were attached.
The platform on which the prisoners stood was
seven feet six inches froth cross-besot. The
platform was made to drop entirely to the
ground, by the turn of a lever. Tan was
spread on the ground to prevent any noise
from the falling of the platform.
The prisoners have fur some time expressed
great contrition, Anderson particularly bt
very penitent and expressing perfect coon.

It declares that they murdered the women ter

when the crime was committed.
There was great anxiety to witness the exe•

Came into town for the purpose, a large pro.
portion of them being from Manheito and its
neighborhood. Attempts were made to see
from platforms outside of the wulls, but they
were n ut successful!.
The bhurilf was very strict, and in spite ul
the thousands nt aoplicatious the admission,
only about sue hundred persons were permit
ted to enter the prison yard.
The prisoners passed the night composedly,
The morning was spent in religious exercises
and in conversation with the ministers and
others admitted to see them. The writ requir
ed that they should be hung between the hours
of 10 A. M.. and 3 P. M.
About ten o'clock the wife and children of
Anderson were admitted to see him, and the
interview and parting were most affecting.
Soon after eleven o'clock the procession mu•

form in the yard, and the prisoners walked
firmly to the fatal spot and nnionted the steps
Anderson made a prayer, f'rvently and calmly
in which he appealed for mercy ter 11111)&111 and
Richards. Neither of them made speeches
however.
At twenty-five minutes before twelve o'clock,
the ropes be:ng adjusted around the necks of
the criminals and all others having left the
platform, the lever was moved, and it fell, lea.

struggle, and Richard's struggles were not pre•

bodies wore taken down for interment.

ANTI-LECOMPTON VICTORIES
The evidences of repugnance to the Lecump.
ton policy are overwhelming. We speak not
of such elections as those recently held at Chi-
the former wen 'Republican' and the latter
wan divided, both parties were hostile to Le.
compton, but of those wherp that matter was
prominently in issue. Just look at the list of
recent defeats which the Democratic party has
encountered in local elections:
In Ohio—Cincinnati, Opposition by majori•
ties ranging from 1,000 to 3,- , 00. Toledo, Re
public. by 138 majority—last year, heavily
Democratic.
In Michigan—The Town Meetings show an
almost unbroken line of Republican triumphs .
though the Democratic party there has gene,
ally cut loose from and opposes Lecom pton.
In Indiatia—lndirstiapolis recently went Re
publican by a large majority; Lafayette, ditto
by 50 to 75 majority—usually Democratic.
In lowa—Davenport has gone largely Re.
publican; Dubuque (usually two or three to
one Democratic) has elected a People's Ticket
over the Democratic by some 500 majority.
In Missouri—St. Louis has chosen the strai
gbtout Free Democracy's ticket by 1,200 Ma.
jority over a People's ticket headed by an
Emancipationist, but made and supported in
good part by a union of the nations Pro-Sla
very interests and factions ; while Jefferson
' (the State capital) has also chosen Free-State
officers throughout by a handsome majority.—
This is the first time a distinctive Emancipa
tion ticket was ever run its than city. Misr.
rissant, a smaller city, is also reported Free-
State.
We ought, perhaps, to add that Louisville,
Ko., lots just chosen 'American' officers with
very little opposition—their Representative,
, Humphry Marshall and their organ, The Lou
, isville'Journal, beading the fight against Le•
com pion.
—We give these merely as straws showing
the course of the wind ; but who finds any sail•
ing the other way ? The extent of a change
wrought in the public mind by a bad measure
is never fully evinced in the ensuing popular
vote, especially if the contest he for local
cell,' alone. Thousands continue, from habit,
discipline or affection, to vote with their old
party to oblige or advance personal friends
who are candidates—to obtain or retain an
office—or hoping to bring them over to their
views: Where one votes plump against his
party in a loyal contest following quick upon
the heels of a great public wrong, a dozen at
heart condemn the. wrong,. Lerompton we
think is done ; but its revival and passage
could only serve still further to distraot and
damage the great liarty which elected Mr.
Buchansu to the Presidency.
Connecticut.—Full returns from Conneticut
of the recent election show the following re.
ulu Buckingham, (Rep.) 4,969; Pratt, (Dam)
32,239. Republic. majority 2,730 which is
larger than any gubernatorial candidate hat
received since 1846, and how long previous
we are unable to state. The majority for the
Whig candidate for Governor in 1848, (the
Taylor campaign) the largest within our recol•
levtion, was 300 less than Buckingham has to
ceived.
Baldwin, the candidate of the disaffected
Americans for governor, did not receive over
three or four hundred votes. On Secretary of
State and Comptroller, however, where the
Americans had regular candidates in opposi•
tints to the Republicans, they poll votes enough
(some 3000) to defat a choice for those offices
by the people, but as the Legeslaturo must
choose between the highest two candidates,
Messrs. Boyd and Buell, Republicans are olti•
mately certain of an election.
The Senate stands as last year, 15 to 6. The
House will probably stand 147 Republicans to
87 Democrats ; last year 140 to 93.
The towns comprising the Congressional
district now represented by Bishop (Lecomp.
ton Democrat) gives 613 Republican majority.
In Arnold's district where there was a Perna.
erotic majority of 492 last year, the majority
has been whittled down to 10.

Saturday, for municipal officers, the candi
dates of the American party were chosen.

WASHINGTON, April 10. 1858.

Hard on Bigler.
The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Sunday Dispatch describes a scene in
the Senate last Friday, while the Crittenden
Kansas bill was pending, which is in no way
flattering to our Pennsylvania Senator. The
writer says:
'I have just left the Senate, and saw Bigler
in the hands of Douglas. Heavens ! what a
specimen of cruelty to ae.imals 1 Bigler's van
ity is proverbial, and his stupidity is painful.
I blushed to see his awkward, ungainly, and
miserable manner. The President should
send him to a grammar school. He used
such phrases—'l have ram to the conclusion;'
and, in alluding to the Upas tree. ho said,
'This slavery question is the Upaso.'—He used
t he word 'is,' for 'ate; and 'done,' for ',lid,' &r.
and all this with a 'Captain Grand' air, and an
affectation of style that would have made a
dog laugh.—Douglas stepped up, took hint by
the cuff, and pummelled him through the Sen
ate, making every Pennsylvanian hang his
head in confusion. What a blessing is the
Washington Globe to such humbugs as Bigler!,

THE MODERN ART
•
Taming the most Wild, Viclouls
AND
Unmanageable Horses.
As practiced by Mr. J. S. Rarey in Europe, and
by myself at No. G. 5 & 67 Watts St., New York,
is creatig a complete revolution in the manner
of training the most noble of brute creation.
The public are aware of the immense excite-.
meet which now waits in all Europe, in conse
quence of witnessing these astonishing effects
produced by the will of man over the horse.—
By this process, the wildest colt or the most vi
cious horse, of .y ago, may be subdued in a few
hours so us to obey the slightest word or motion
of his master.
Notnatieriiow vicious or stubborn, he is sub
clued just as easy, and learns to obey in propor
tion to his intelligence ; and it is astonishing ;
' to witness his high degree of intellect when un
ker the complete control of man. and when
once thoroughly trained he never forgets it,
I will take the most unulauageable horse in,
America ,and in fifteen minutes will make hin
lie down, and will handle him every way, even.
put my heed between his hind feet ; and in one
hour, will learn him so that a boy can handle
him with ease, and be will then look with affec
tion instead of defiance on his master, and soon,
will follow him anywhere.
By this process, lie is completely broken of•
fear of cars, umbrellas, robes, or any other ob
ject Many valuable horses have been ruined
from fright, and lives have been sacrificed to vi
citus .d uninanagaitl le horees—in fact, noth
ing is snore dreaded than an ungovernable horse.
I warrant this process sun•e in every case, I
have determined to keep the secret no longer,
as it has hitherto been confined to the few horse
trainers in circuses ip this country, but has ex
isted for centuries in Arabia. I fbrnish the
whole inforination in printed form, so clearly de•
monetrated, that any mad can practice it at
once without the least injury to himscllf or horse,
and will send the same to any address on receipt
of fire dollars. It is the same diet Mr. Rarey
is now se.ling in England and France far $5O.
I would respectfully say, that I cannot under
take to answer letters which do not contain the
above amount. 11. B. ARMSTRONG,
