MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT Too men dro,oned -
We are much panied to state that sad event
occurred on yesterday afternoon near Jackson
city, by which two of our citizens were untnely
hurried out of existence, and their families thrown
into the deepest distress. The particulars of this
melancholy affair, we have gathered them, are
as follows party of four gentlemen of our
city, among whom were Mr.. Conway Lpscomb
and Thomas J. Fletcher, were engaged in bathing
in the Potomac, near the extreme end of the Long
Bridge, and trial of skill in swimming between
the two abovenamed persons was proposed and
acccpted--the parties to swim to the channel and
back. In attempting this, one Of them, it is sup
posed, was seized with cramp, and the other,
on going to his assistance, was clutched by him,
and they both sank to death. Their bodies were
recovered in some fifteen minutes after, and were
conveyed Immediately to the Island House, where
every effort was made for their recovery by DR..
Buck and another medical gentleman, who hap
pened to be on the ground, but their labors were
useess--the vital spark was extinct. The boz
dies were brought to the city last evening, and
deposited with their afflicted families.
Mr.. Lpscomb was well known in the city, and
kept the hair-dressing establishment on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, next to Gadsby's Hotel; and Mr..
Fletcher was the former proprietor of the hotel
opposite Gadsby's, now under the direction Of
Mr.. Hall.

ILLEGAL VOTING,
TT Francis Preston Blair. I'm


The Baltimore papers OF this morning record
further arrests Of Illegal voters in that ctj. We
know not how many OF these Illegal voting Loco
focos the proper authorities have already in prison,
but believe the number TO be quite large. No
donbt It would swell to upwards of thousand, at
the lowest calculation, in Baltimore alone, il JUS
TICE could be extended to each and every Loco.
foco who cast an Illegal vote in tina, city.
1t rejoces us to learn that honest indigna-
ton is manifesting itself among all classes of up
right men in Baltimore at this bold, reckless, and
outrageous attempt to deiea, the will OF the peo-
pie, honestly entitled to vote, by such system
of hgh-handed corruption.
We also learn that the good people of Mont
gomery, and other counties near this District, in
Maryland, are highly incensed at the manner in
which Locofocos not belonging there, and having
no right to cast their suffrages there, still per-
sisted in voting Among these. we are inform
ed. was Is-FRANCIS p. BLAIR, editor Of the
Globe,.&I who was a candidate in this city last
April for Delegate from the First Ward TO the
Charter Convention, and was most effectually
and deservedly beaten, as the returns published
at the time will show. .
Here is fine commentary on the Globes re-
cent caution othe people Of Maryland to look
out for f" Wing pipe laying" and lis fippant dis
course about tar and feathers! Who as il now
appears, deserved the coat Of tar and feathers!
Mr.. Blair claims to own farm out in Mont
gomery county, where he stops during some Of
the summer months, but whal has this to do with
his voting in the Maryland election! He is a
citizen of this city, lives here, and is sometimes
candidate for office here, and yet, screaming
and bawling at the top of his lungs, through his
tools and oadies in the Globe, against g Wing
pipelaying" in Maryland, he deliberately goes to
the polls in that State and casts his own spuri-
Gus vote
No wonder the honest yeomanry of Maryland
are up in arms against such hish-handed and
audacious conduct. No onder they are taking
the proper steps to e6ectuauy prepent its repeti-
ZION! We learn that they will take that in
future the gentlemen Locofocos of The District OF
Columbia who have no right to vote in Maryland,
end are eernalIy protesting their great regard for
the rights Of The peope, shall not again neutrallze
or destroy those rights, either by pipe-aying or
casting their own illegal votes

MODEST YOU'VE GENTLEMEN "A gentleman
advertlses, in New York paper, for board in
quiet, gentee family where there are two or three
beautiful and accomplished young ladies', and
where his society "wIll be deemed sufficient
compensation for board, lodging, washing, and
| other e'ceteras." Here is offer, and tempt
ing as rare. Another gentleman, twenty five
years of age, wishes to be adopted by an aged
lady or gentleman, or both, of fortune. He says
that he has the disposition and ability to make
himself agreeable, and as the Bowery classics
read, "cant do anything else.''
STREET TALK Have you seen Claws third
letter on Texas!

Oh. yes He says he "would be glad to see
Texas annexed"
Indeed Is that the truth
Yes.
Is it the whole truth!

All, that's an important qualification But is
that all
No. He "would be glad to see it, witAou dis
honor AND vithout ,oar.''
Better yet! Is that all!
Mot e.x a-c.t-Ly He "would be glad to see
it, 'oahout dishonor, war, AND Nth The common
consem IF The Union"
Better and better ! AS want to get the whole
any other objection to the project
Yes he has. He says, also, that it must be
done upon JUST and FAIR terms.

And farther, that lie believes hal national dis
honor, foreign war, and dstracting divisions at
home, are too great sacrifices to make for The ac-
QUESTION of Texas"

He does.
And do Won believe that Tay,, con NUEp 10

the common consent of the Union, and upon just
and fair terms 7"
do not. The signs Of the times forbid such
thought.
Then in no euent can Mr.. Clay be regarded as
the friend of annexation and hope you will
not be guilty again of such injustice AZ to quote
two or three words from his letter, and on the
strength of them charge Mr.. Gay with deser-
ton of the ground taken by him in his first lei
ter. tie is the consistent opp,nont Of the annex
ton scheme.--Springfeh Republican.
