Politics ~ the Fifth Congressional District-Cu

As the nomination of James G.. King to repre-

SURPRISE, both at home and abroad, it may not be
unlnterestng to the readers Of the Herald to know
the ,aodus operond, by which the friends of that
distinguished Wall street fnancIer succeeded In
getting the nomination from the wings of the dis

sactlon.
Ever since the election to Congress of William
Wright, IN ls43, deadly hostility has been mani

before that time, looked upon all the offices worth

This gentleman, in 1s43, in speech intended to
be IN favor of Mr.. Kinney, the opposing candidate

OF man running for Congress who was nothing
but a saddler, and who had not gone through the
training which he thought member OF Congress

his mortIiying taur pas When Mr.. Wright ran

coalition with the democrats, and by ex-

AN IMrosroR AND HIS VIcrM.-Yesterdayf fore
noon, young and interesting looking girl made
her appearance at the marshas office, and claimed
the protection Of the police againt John Smith
alias George Smith, with whom she had eloped from
Halifax. and had since lived. She stated that her
name was Maria Crannage; that she got acquainted
with Smith, who is Irishman in Nova Scotia
about six months since and that he induced her to
leave her parents and friends there in his company
Since that time they have been travelling about the
country, Smith representing himself the victim Of
a accident by which both his legs broken and
he rendered incapable of active exertions support
himself and his female mpanion whom he stated to
be his wife. In this way he imposed upon sundry
clergymen who induced to contribute his sup
port and also to obtain for him passes the various
railroads to travel about the country They arrived
in this city about week ago, and put up house in
Battery march street. where they have since lived in
a state of great restitution, all their effects being

Yesterday morning, Smith beat his companion bru-
tally which led her to make expose of his proceed
ings. The girl sked if she wished to 20 back to
her friends. She replied that she should dare to
meet them again. Upon her statement officer Clapp

King was n candidate The Hudson delegs
ton had been carefully selected by these profession
sl VIE pultrs, and II being settled that the nom-
nation rested with them, the tale soon told So
james G. King got the nomination and that
worthy gentle man happening TO be absentfrom his
"farm" at the time, on important business tor the
Camden and AmbOy Railroad Company, his
brother Charles accepted the nomination in his
behalf, told the people what his sentiments were,
and how he las descended from Rafus King, &c.
AS soon as the nomination was made
Known, the indignation Of some Of the
wings knew no. bounds, and they at once
commenced casting sbout for an indepen-
dent candidate. Their choice fell upon Will
ham Wright, who, alter some he station, consented
TO run; the democrats agreeing, as the wings ad a
large majority IN the district, not to run candidate
In opposition to him. Upon this understanding, the
democrats went INTO convention on the 18th inst,
and had just passeda resolution that it was inexpe-
dent tor them TO nominate candidate tor Con-
gress, when 10, an express suddenly arrived from
Mr.. W., stating that he had changed his mind. Inc
cause of this hasiy backing out can never lper-
haps) be certainly known; but the friends OF Mr.
Wright regret that he fit to adopt this yacllla-
ting course, as all political confidence In him Is
now gone forever
But an equally worthy candidate has consented
TO run against the regular nominee-Joseph Hol-
hDgsworIh, of this city MIR. H. consented to the
use OF his name, at the earnest soiciaton OF
large number OF his fellow citizens. and OF his
election there can be no reasonable doubt Like
Mr. Wright, he is a me chanic, who, by his own
industry and perseverance, has arrived at aftlu-
ence He has always been the friend of the poor
and the oppressed; and his exertlons in the
cause of unhappy Ireland, and his well known
llberaity towards her during the late famine, will
secure him the vote of every Irishman in the
district. He was the only man in the conven-
ton who had the msnliness to oppose the lniqui-
tous nomination of James G.. King, TO which he
never gave his assent No wonder, that against
such man, the regular nominee has taken the
stump--a rather novel mode of electicneering
for ones self in these parts-for, since Mr.. Hol-
lipgsworth consented TO run, Mr.. Kings pros
less;'' and he only needs speech in his favor
from his brother Cha rles, to put hnal extin-
guisher upon any glimmerng hope he may have
remaining.
But notwithstanding the unfortunate nomna.
ton of King IN the fifth district, the State is safe
tor Taylor; and it is believed that he will carry it
by as large majority as Clay did in 1874.

WASHINGTON, April %, lS4S.
Extraordinary Scene in Washngton-M. de Bodisco,
the Russian Minister, and Captain Wankowicz,
Grand nephew of Kosciusko.
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, Captain Wan
kowicz, standing on the pavement, in front of
the European Hotel, near the Treasury Department,
when the carriage of the Russian Minister approa CHI
ed the pavement where he standing, and sudden
" stopped. In an instant more the door of the
rage opened, and NJ de Bodisco appeared, and in
and voice unusual in this meridian, and in
language unknown to the bystanders, summoned
Captain Wankowicz TO approach him. An angry
and excited dialogue quickly ensued between NJ. de
Bodisco and Captain Wnnkowicz, the latter exhibit
ing q manner and tone of Defiance the former the
most temperate and reyengeful threats.
Capt. Wankowicz sternly refused TO comply with
the demands Of M. de Bodisco; whereupon, NJ. de
BodiSco. an angry tone, shaking his finger at the
Captain, admonshed him that he would see
Russia-meaning that he will be sent to Siberia. We
told that the Captain answered to this that
he hopes the autocTat and NJ. de Bodisco will never
see Poland. Of the Captain, by this act, has
renowned all allegiance to Russia. He can never
home unless Poland RECEIVERS her independence
The explanation is, that Capt. w. has employed
Maj. Tochman to recover some money due Koscius-
kos heirs, and Count Bodisco incensed and de-
manded an important document in the

THE MAY PARTY.

We have been to the wild green woods to-day,
To join in the revel Of howery May,
There the shining leaves of The ancient trees
Danced TO the song of the wandering breeze,
And laughing, flashing sparkling riIl
Went singing away round bright green hill.
Its waves as they Ieapt, in their sportive play,
Besprnkled the flowers with the diamond spray,
And hurried the wreaths Of snowy foam
Away, far away, TO their ocean home.
The ,very song and the geeful shout
ORR wing Of the evening breeze rang out,
A nd DE shining birds, with startled cry,
Scared up and away to the bright blue sky.
The beloved of many a home there,
With the bsamng eye and the shining hair;
With the bounding step and the fairy form,
And the glad young heart, wild and warm
Twas mimic show Of royal scene;
They had titled maids and fair young queen;
But her sceptIe blazed with no costly gem,
And wreath Of flowers was her diadem.
Oh, my heart grew young, and my pulse beat free,
AS gazed at the mimic pageantry.
Then thought went forth on her fearless wing,
And unused on the changes Time may bring.
And fancy wrought, in that sylvan grove,
How eheckered and strange was the web she wove.
A moment gazed on Jnar scene so lair,
And the Joyous children around ne there.
Then, as swift as light flew the wheels Of Time,
And saw them all in meridian prime.
One sat in his chamber al midnight lone,
But the voice of his beautiful thoughts had flown
From the dreary attic that gave them birth
Away 10 the utteImost bound Of earth.
One stood in a crowd a vessels deck,
When the mast came down on the struggling wreck,
When the storm passed by he had found his gave
In the peary hall of ocean cave.
Another had wandered and made his home,
Midst the Wondering ruins Of ancient Rome,
And he proudly stood by marble form
That swelled almost with the life-blood warm.
He gazed on the face Of his fancy's child,
And his brow grew BRIGHT and his heart beat wild
How wonderous fair to the sculptor seems,
That bright ideal of all his dreamsl
One mingled and whirled in the fearful strife,
Where the ground dyed with the hue of life,
And his voice went out in the battle cry
Where the lannon's roar and the bravest die.
Another had met with the wise and great,
In the council halls Of his native State,
And thousand listeners enchanted hung
On words that fell from his eloquent tongue.
One sat at the close Of a summer day,
Beside him palette and easel lay;
His cheek pale as he busily wrought
A beautiful scene Of embodied thought.
And now 10 the canvass his hand has given
The last bright hue fIom the brow Of heaven.
And one, who had joined in that May-day band,
Bore the word of the Lord to a heather land
saw, and he stood by the Ganges' wave,
And preached the name that alone
Thus fancy wrought, in that sylvan grove
How checkered and strange was the web she wove.

Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER.-The following is ex-

of the most embittered Federal papers in the country
It is contained in one of the letters of the Washing

istration through some very tight places, and it must

only greatly benefited the government, but bore

STRANGE SToRY.-The last Lewstown 0ll) Re-
publican announces the death of Mr.. Norman Bemis,
under very distressing circumstances. He was mar
rled on Thursday, of last week, to Miss Fast living
some few miles above Liverpool, on Duck Creek. On
the night after the wedding, they rode down to Lv-
erpoo to visits friend and spend the night Between
and O'Clock at night, Mr.. Bems left the house,
visit connection of his, Mr.. Brush, few rods dis
tant In approaching MIR. Brush's house, he observ-
ed person in female attire, carrying guns The
person retired as Bemis approached and although
saluted twice or thrice by Bemis no answer was re-
turned Bemis had partly passed the house, and was
approaching the strange person when he was shot
dead. No persons in MIR. Brush's house at that
time, except Mrs. Brush and little boy, and they
heard some one exclaim "Bemis is shot," Going out,
they found the person female ATTIRE holding Bemiss
head in her lap, and Bemis dead or dying The dis
guised person was Nehemiah Northrup, who acknowl-
edged that he had shot Bes but declared that was
an accident, as he did not know that the gun was
loaded A coroners verdict was to the same effect.
Northrup gave himself up, and, after the examination
was held to bail in the of 81 0O0 answer the
charge of involuntary manslaughter. 1t appeared on
examination, thatsit intended to charapari the
newlymarried couple, and that Nosthrup vas to par
cipate in it; that he had left Liverpool, and gone to
his home mile two distant after fhe arrival of
Bemis that he took the two guns, without seeing
whether they loaded or not returned to Liver
pool before his associates in the charauari arrived
carelessly swapping the gun at, and killed Bems.
Northrup, it is said, knew the gun was empty when
last used but it had been borrowed and returned
with the load in, without his knowledge.

LATE FROM ST. DomINGo.-By the arrival yester-
day of the brig Ellswart, 81 days from Margoane.
we learn from Capt. Williams, that the people
throughout the island were arming themselves against
the government. The night previous to the E. sail
ing, an army was collecting at Marigoane, which was
to join another army of insurgents, 1000 strong, from
Jacmal, then near Marigoane. They were then i'm
medately to attack the government troops. The peo-
pie appeared to be very much exasperated against the
President. The day after Capt W. left the Ellswart,
being then forty miles from Port au Prince, he
heard during the whole day, the firing of heavy guns
were engaged in battle near Port au Prince.-N Y.
