reported against celebrating Indepen
dence Day, on the grounds that there
are no available funds for tho purpose.
An Austrian officer has arrived at

On the sixteenth inst., a wagon train
rained at three million dollars, and be.
longing to tho Mexican Imperialists, was

manded by Escobedo. One regiment
of Mexican Imperialists went over to
the Liberals at tho beginning of the
light. The rest were killed or captured.
The story comes direct from Escobedo's
headquarters, and is conCrtned by Im
perial advices, The loss of the. train
is a severe one and will probably compel
the French to abandon the wholo liue of

Our county was last week (too late to
notice in our issue) visited by a party
from Buffalo, as a ppecia! committee
representing its citirons to inquire into
and investigate personally the coal fields
their productiveness, quality and gencr
al extent in the counties of Elk an
Cameron. Hitherto mistakes in regard

paradoxical among capitalist.?, business
men and oitisens of .that part of New
York as to the c.rixtance of any large
bodies of 'bituminous coal, as sufficien
to warrant fbe expenditure of buildin
Railroads to their beds. We do not dis
parage tho citizens of Buffalo, nor of
Rochester, or of any largo town in west

others have a company chartered
build a Railroad from Buffalo via Olean
to Emporium, called tho "Buffalo and
Washington R. R," with narrow guao
iutcrsccting the P. & E. at tho point
last named.
The LcgUlitture-of New York has au
thorized tho city of Buffalo, subject to
tho sanctiou by a vote of i's citizens, to
subscribe to the capital stock of this
Railroad 8200,000 (two hundred thou,
sand dollars) as a preliminary of cau.
iion, tne careiui denizens ot the city
caused the appointment of this commit
tee to visit this section and report as to
the reality ol the existe nee of coal ad
cquato to warrant tho enterprise of buil.
ding this Rail Road.
The character and intelligence of the
committee evince the good judgment
ol tueir appointees. The followinj
named persons constituted the com
mittee : Joseph Warren, Esq., editor
ot the Luffalo Courier; Henry Clapp,
fcsq., editor of the Buffrlo Express.
Dr. Brunck, editor of the Weltbuoger,
(German) j Mr. Gaib, reporter for But.
falo (German) Telegraph; Gen. Wm.
T. Rodgers, Comptroller of the city of
Buffalo ; Charles Macomber, City CTk ;
John A. Ditto, City Surveyor; Joseph
L. Hoberstro, President ot Common
Council ; Messrs. Schew, Flach, Gard
ner, Dart, Koons, Hausle, Shields, Do

Council ; Col. Prescott, Washington R.

The comniiUeo tnado a very favorable
impression upon enr citizens by their
intelligence, urbanity aud zeal in the
discharge of their duty trusting more
to ocular demonstration than to geologi
cal reports, maps, &e.
They visited theDaguscahonda Mines
as also several of the companies upon
the line of the Daguscahouda Railroad
for several miles crossing to St. Mary's
and theuce to Cameron county.
IV e shall wait with much interest the
report to their camtitucnts, which we
shall lay before our readers as eooh as
possible.
It being the first committee of the
kind who have visited this section, and
from ifs numbers and high character
its report will no doubt be auxiously
looked for by the citizens of Buffalo, as
weil as ourselves.
The night or Suff rage.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has just pronouncad a decision on what
is familiarly kuowo as the " deserters'
aw." The decision does not tako cor
nizaace of the question as to the consti
tutionality of the law, but is chicflycon-
fincd to the point at issue, to wit, the
ritjht of a judge of election to reject a
man s vote when the word " deserter"
is written opposite his name on the list
ot voters. Chief Justice Woodward and
Justices Strong and Thompson decided
that the judge of elections could not re
fuse a man's vote wu'(ho had ben tried
and convicted of desertion ; while Jus
tices Read and Agnew, on the contrary,
held that the judges of elections were
the proper persons to decide the qui
tion.
This is an important judicial an.
nounccraent. Tho law in question put
into the hands of any political officer
making up the list of voters the power
to disfranchise a freeman by writing
against his name the word " deserter."
The amount of proof necessary to sub.
stantiate that charge rested solely with
the persons who were to prepare the of
ficial enumeration and names of voters
for the difforcot election divisions of the
State. They could say what constitu
ted a desertion, and what was to be cal
led by a milder name. If a man failed
to respond to a draft at precisely tho
time designated in the notification, no
notice need lie taken of any ecteuuniing
circumstaooos, and his name could be
marked in such a manner as to close the
ballot-bo against him and load his
character with false imputations. In
the hands of unscrupulous politicians,
this power could bo used in such a man.
ner as to work incalculable mischief.
They could exempt Irieads and punish
enemies. They could usurp tho prerog
atives of the judges nod inspectors of
elections, aud in this manner decide ira.
portatit issues connected with the wel.
fare of the people and the perpetuity of
the free institutions of tho country.
But tho Supreme Court has decided
that, under tho law of Congress, a nnui
must be legally " tried and convicted of
desertion " before tho officers nf election
are justified in refusing his vote. The
mero circumstance of the word " de
serter " being placed opposite his name
is no ground for disfranchisement. The
right of voting, for participating in the
affairs of tho nation, ia of too much im
portance in a political and governmental
point ol view to be interfered with for
partisan purposes. If men have been
guilty of desertion, they can be arrested
and tried, as they were after tho war of
1812, and then, if tho law of Congress
be constitutional, the punishment will
ioiiqw, jjut until mat course is pursu.
ed, the officers of elections arc to follow
the law of fho State, and disregard the
action of those who have been preparin
the lists to suit tho framcrs of the " de
serters' law " and their Radical mas.
tcrs. The action of the Supreme Court
in this case is a just and proper vindica
tion ot the right of suffrage, and will do
much to insure a fair expression of the
will of the people at the coming elec
tion. Age.
.ifTairs In Europe.
Although Prussia occupies Holstein,
war has yet not actually commenced.
Austria contents herself with protesting
that tho entry of Prussian troops into
the Duchies ia a violation of the Gas.
tein Convention. But this protest does
not alter the determination or move
ments of Prussia. Baron Scheel Pies-
sen has beon appointed President of
Schleswig Holstein, and the Kinij of
Prussia has declared that he intends, in
conformity with the principles of the
unity of both Duchies, to convoke the
Estates and have the matter settled in
that manner. A proclamation has been
ssucd by the President of tho Duchies,
ting that tho Prussian authorities
will not permit the execution of any law,
ordinance, or decree, issued by tho for
meT government, which they think
illegal or prejudicial to the peaco and
unity of tho Duchies. This is a bold
movement, and shows that Prussia is in
earnest in her determination to keep
the ground just occupied at all hazards.
Austria is endeavoring by diplomacy
to detach the small German States from
Prussia, and unite them in favor of a
modified confederation. In Bavaria
this feeling has been exhibited in an
open manner. 1 lie ultramontane party
are desirous that Bavaria shall take part
with Austria, and an effort is being
mado to cause the King to change the
ministry, who maintain the policy of da m
claring against the power that 6hall
commence the war. But even with this
feeling it is not certain that Austria can
obtain any useful support from Bavaria.
The House of Hapsburg is not papular
with the people, and tho German ele.
ment is strong in favor of Prussia. This
same feeling gives Prussia a decided
advantage in all the States forming the
German Confederation. The war is
looked upon as likely to affect the lights
of the Confederation and tho territorial
limits and governmental privileges of
the States forming tbo same, and hence
the Germans are anxious that the leader
of the column shall bo in full sympa
thy with them, aud willing to insist up.
on their supsemacy when the day of
settlement comes. Austria is not es
sentially German, and hence the lean
ing of tho masses in both the larger and
smaller German states in favor of Prus
sia. The distress prevalent throughout
Hungary, and the constant secret ad
dresses circulated among tho peasantry
Irom Ko.-uth and other exiles, will
arouse tho peoplo in that province and
make them willing to aid ia any move,
ment intended to weaken the power of
Austria and give them a hold upon the
throttof the tyrant who for years hr?
trampled upon their rights and insulted
their nationality. The poles and Ital.
iansalso have no reason to love Austria,
nor will they miss an opportunity to
striko for injuries long endured and
keenly felt.
The material issue urging Prussia to
this contest is undoubtedly tho posses
sion and opening of seaports on the
Baltic and North Seas. Her nary is
now in a good condition, and with suit
able and convenient ports her com.
merco would inorcase with rapid strides
The war against Denmark was provoked
in a great measure by this desire on the
part of Prussia, but in that myeincn
Austria was associated, and when the
Duchies wore detached from Denmark
tho former stepped in and prevented
tho full fruiting of the Prussian scheme
Fiom that time assy bo dated th

and France saw the door through which
to pour tho waters of discord and weak

and France at once commenced to ngi.
tate the Italian question. In fulfill
ment of this purpose the Italian people
nave been aroused, and Garibaldi is
heading an ardent and excitable volun
toer force, eager to tear down tho Aus
tnan colors from tho turrets ol St
Mark's nnd free Venetia and Lombardy

ent aspect of the controversy in Europe,
