The AppOrtionment Bill Vetoed.

The Infamous bill passed by the loco
toco majority at Harrisburg-so infamous
that we cannot see how any man making
pretensions to honesty could vote for it
has received its quietus at the hands of
Governor Johnston. We regret that we
did not receive copy of the message in
time for to-day's paper, lit having only
come to hand last evening" but synopsis
of It's contents in another column will sat-
isfy any man, whether whig or locofoco.
that more villainous and unprincipled ef-
fort to disfranchise a large portion of the
voters of Pennsylvania was never made.
We trust Governor Johnston viii freely
use the sLEDGE HAMMER to demolish all
fabrics of this kind erected by the old
party hacks in the Legislature, until a fair
bill is passed. We care not what majority
locofocoism may obtain under a bill in
which some regard is paid to the ratio of
representation, but until they do pay some
regard to that, as they haze s,corn to do.
let there be no hesitation in the Executive
10 use the power vested in him.

MYSTERIOUS OcCURRENCE.-We under
stand that Mr.. Thomas Johnston, of Martic
township, has been missing from his home
since the lst inst, under circumstances
which are calculated to induce the belief
that he has been foully dealt with. He
left his residence on that day for the pur-
pose of collecting money and making set
dement's with some of his neighbors. The
last person with whom he settled recollects
seeing large sum of money in his pos
session. He was afterwards seen by
neighbor within a mile of his own dwell
ling, in which direction he was then riding
through lane or path, which was secured
at both ends by bars and gates. His horse
was found in this enclosure on the follow
ing morning. The whole neighborhood
has been carefully searched since, but
no traces have been discovered of the
missing man. 1t is feared that he has been
waylaid and murdered by some one having
a knowledge that he had large sum OF
money in his possession. and his body
concealed in some way from discovery.
He was a man of industrious and temper
ate habits, and his circumstances were such
as to leave no motive for a voluntary alb
sence from his family and home.-Lan-
custer Union.

THE PESSsYLvAEIA RAIRoAp.-lt will be
gratifying to tho friends Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to learn, says the Daily News, that the
passenger traffic alone has already exceeded the
estimates. The income on that portion of the
work which is open for use, during the last ten
days, exceeds $4,000; being over 81 ZOO per
day; with every prospect of an immense ip-
crease, when the connection with the inclined
plane at Hoilidaysburg is completed. We un-
derstand it is in contemplation to open the road
TO Huntingdon in the course of few weeks,
which will not only add to the receipts, but
shorten the time some hours
