SUSPECTED MURDER.

Considerable excitement has prevailed for
the last few days amongst the people of this
vicinity, in consequence. OF the sudden death
of citizen of this place. So far as we can
ascertain the facts, it appears that MI. Joseph
Anthon Hartrampf, German by birth, went
to the house of Frederick Causs, who keeps
German Beer.shop in Williamsport below
John Bells Hotel on Thursday evening last,
where he met several Irishmen and two or
three Germans. The party INDUCED pretty
freely in malt liquors and Mr.. Clauss says
they had fight outside of the house. After
this they separated and Harrampf was
brought into the house, where he laid on
the floor until next morning. He complain
ed of being sick and was carried up stairs
and put into bed. He laid there until eve-
ming, when Physician was sent for, but he
found The man dead when he arrived at the
house. On Saturday morning coffin was
procured and before 10 O'Clock, he was Ia
ken 10 the Poor house and buried His sud
den death and burial excited the suspicious
of the neighbors who communicated the
facts to Charles F.. Buck, Esq, and the case
is now undergoing a judicial investigation.
search warrant has been issued TO search
the house OF Clauss and two men have been
arrested and confined for further hearing
On Monday morning, the Physicians of the
Poor-House, Doctors Barnes, Sellers and Su-
ich, disinterred the body for the purpose of
making post-morem examination. They
discovered W oundthree quarters Of an inch
or all inch in length, a little above and be-
hind the left ear from which it was plainly
evident that dea tn had resulted through a
fracture of the skull and brain.
One rumor says that one of the men who
was at the house came 10 the residence of
MIR. Richards, a few miles down the Della
ware, about midnight and asked for lodging
until morning. His clothes and hands were
bloody. Mr.. Richards allowed him to re-.
main, but in the morning when he arose, the
man had disappeared.
P. P.S.-Since wiring the above we are told
that two Irishmen employed OIL the Railroad,
told their employer on Friday morning, tina,
they had been engaged in this fight the pre-.
vious evening. They say that the Germans
commenced the quarrel among themselves,
and they interiered only when the brother ol
Clauss was on the ground, with Two or three
Germans beating him. They further said
that when Clauss succeeded in getting up,
he seized an axe and knocked one man
down will it, and hit second one. AS
they left, one man was dragged into the
house. These Irlshmen have left the neigh
borhood. in order to AVOID giving testimony,

The spee,a,. censre..,enal Election.

We are often asked when the Congress
sional vacancy in this district will be sup.
piled by special election. Our reply is
tha, the Governor has it in his power 10 call
it at any dme, and seems enjoying his lei
sure, perhaps for official notice from the
Speaker of the House Of Congress that a va
cancy exists. The constitution of the Uni
ted States provides that ''when vacancies
happen in the representation from any ria,e
the executive authority thereof shall ;ssue
writs of election 10 fill such yacanc;es },
The Pennsylvania election lo.y of ,sae di.
reefs that this writ "shall ',e directed 10 the
sheriff of the COUNTY or counties. compo.
sing the congressional district and shall par.
'iculatly express the day on which the eec.
non sna' re held TO supply such vacancy.
IL suco vacancy shall happen during the
session of Congress, or if Congress shall be
iequired to meet a. some time tim previous
| TO the next general election, the governor
shall appoint time as early as may be con-
venient for holding such election, otherwise
he shall direct the election to he held at the
time appoinred for holding the general cleo.
tion.n
There is no specific provision for such a
case as the one in this district, where the
vacancy occurs after the adjournment of
Congress, but the spirit Of the law on this
subject seems TO be, that as soon as the Ex-
ecutive is satisfied that vacancy exists, he
shall iSsue the writ for special election at
the earliest convenient time There is no
legal requirement for official notice from the
Speaker of the House; though such notice
is always given when the House is in session.
Such was the case of tho York district 10
supply the vacancy occasioned by the death
of DR.. Ness. '-.
The act of Assembly quoted above indi-
Gates that the policy of the law requires a
vacancy to be filled as soon as possible and
convenient. The notice from the Governor
10 the Sheriff is only Is days and that from
the Sheriff TO the inspectors of each election
district, and to the people only 10 days. AT
this. short notice there will be no time TO
make party nominations, and we therefore
suggest that the nomination of the Demo-
Gratis should be made at once, 10 prevent any
game or trick by a previous organization
and understanding of the Wings. The
course we recommend was the one pursued
BY both parties in Allegheny county, when
a vacancy by resignation existed only in an
ticipaton and never in reality Our election
is not far distant in any event; and tits the
best plan to.be prepared in time. A nomi
nation made upon full and fair notice will
aise:be stronger and more satisfactory 10 the
party.
