MARRIAGE AND SUDDEN DEATn.--
WAsnlNcroS, Sept. l5.-We had, last
evening, another striking illustration Of
the lights and shadows Of human lile.-
A wedding being contemplated, the
humbls home of worthy family was
put in the best state of preparation, and
every heart beat high in anticipation of
unalloyed conviviality. The hour ar
rived, and sister Of the lady Of the
house, accompanied by her lover and
other friends, proceeded to the house of
priest, where they were married. The
joyful party on entering the house which
they left but brief hour before, were
surpriZed to learn that soon after .heir
departure the BRIDES sister above re-
ferred to complained OF sudden indis-
position, and that her husband had gone
for doctor. The astonished bride has
tened to the bedside of that sister, when
her agony was increased by the discov-
cry that life itself was extinci!-..nd
that without sigh, so far as could be
learned, the patient had resigned her
spirit into the hands OF the c. eator.-
The gIadness Of that company was
turned into sorrow-poignant ard deep.
The grief Of the occasion may be imag-
ined, but my pen cannot describe it.

Presidentto the proper officers Of the
United States, in Pennsylvania requir-
ing them to proceed Immediately to ar
rest all persons criminaIly concerned in
the transaction.
The District Attorney was especially
instructed to ascertain whether the facts

ccrned, for trial for that offence.

The President and The Wig STATE
Central Committee. interview be-
tween President Fillmore and the Wing
State Central Committee, during his re-
cent visit, is thus mentioned in the New
York Express Of Friday =
"This morning the President was
waited on, ai his rooms, by the Whig
Central Committee. who. through Geo.
Morey, their Chairman, on behalf Of the
Wings Of Massach chusetts. welcomed the
President. The Wings OF The Bay
State had hailed with pleasure his nomi-
nation by The Philadcl phia Convention,
and his election had been cause ol re-
ioicing.
They then felt assured he would full
fiji with fidelity all the duties which
might devoIve upon him in any and ev-
cry emergency. How well he had real
lied those expectations they were to
testify, and they desired TO assure him
that the Wings Of Massachusetts fully
approved his course, admired and had
full confd dsnce in his administration.-
This was no lip service, but true ex-
preston Of the honest feelings Of the
Wings oflhe State, and as such they
presented it.
The President replied briefly and
modestly, while he ielt honored by this
expression of good feeling and truly
gratified by this evidence that his ct.
forts to fulfill the responsible duties Of
his Office, in accordance with the spirit ot
the constitution, had met the approval Of
the intelligent citizens Of this prosperous
Commonwealth. But when the need
of praise was awarded him, he must beg
leave to refer TO that distinguished son
OF Massachusetts, Daniel Webster, TO
whose wise and prudent councils, great
sagacity and skillul craftsmanship, he
owed much, if not all the success which
has been accorded him. Had he, Web
ster, been selected as the candidate for
the Vice Presidency instead of himself,
it would have afforded him qualification,
much more than his own elevation.
The Committee, tnen, after OH inter-
change Of civilities, withdrew.

an article showing that the outrage in

which The Constitution defncsio bc ireu

TO carry out this provision OF The Consti-
tuition, declaring that the crime Of trea.

The Republic shows how the Whis-
key rebellion was treated in Pennsylva-
nia, when in 1894 an insurrec,ion took
place in the four western counties Of
Pennsylvania, to prevent by lorce the
execution Of two acts of Congress
"Vigol was indicted in April, 1895,
for high treason in levying war against
the Unitei States, on the charge OF re-
fisting and preventing by force the exc
cution of the said acts; and was tried at

ges Patterson and Peters on the bench
The overt acts being proved by two W.T.
nesscs, the case was submitted TO the
jury without argument, under the charge
Of the court, which was delivered by
Mr.. Justice Patterson"
Vigol was sentenced TO death, and al
terwards pardoned. We quote again:
"a few years afterwards Congress
passed an act (l79S) providing for val
uation of lands, &c. and in the same
year an &C: laying direct tax. In the

O. The Warren Star. speaking OF
the late meeting OF the Warren Baptist
Association in this town, says
From the letters, it appeared that
there are now thirty-nine churches with
in the bounds Of the Association, con-
tanning about 1000 members. Two
flourishing churches recently organized
were received at the late meeting.
All the services were dislinguishe by
aquiet, orderly, and devotional attention
10 the proper business OF the BODY to
the exclusion Of all subjects not imme-
dsatcly relating to the religious condi ton
oi the churches. No resolutions or dis
cusslons were proposed which were for
eign to the well known aud acknowledge
ed design OF a fraternity Of Christian
churches seeking to promote each 9TH
ers welfare.
The public services were very prop
erly brought to Il close, on Thursday al
ternoon, by the administration of the
Lords SIppcr, to which the members
were invited by the church with whom
the Association met.
Great praise is due to the generous
Hospitality Of the friends in Newport
Accommodations had been provided tor
twice the, number in attendance.
There are now i'll Newport three Bap-
tist Churches, the first under the charge
Of Rev. Mr.. Adam, the second under
DR.. Choules, and the third, or Central
Church, under Rev. Henry Jackson
They are all in a hourishing condition,
and, which is not the least thing to he
noticed, at peace among themselves
There probably never was time when
the Baptist cause in Newport was SO
prosperous as il is now.
The Association adjourned to meet in
Warren next year, on the old Com.
mencement day, the first Wednesday in
September.

pWc should like to know what prog
Tess the special Committee Of the Sen
ate is making in investigating the af-
fairs o the office Of the General Treas
urer, to ascertain how much the Dorr
rebellion cost the State. AT the last
session OF the Assembly, the Senate
appointed this Committee for the pre-
tended purpose Of examining the papers
Of the Treasurer, to ascertain how the
unaccoun,ed surplus in Mr.. Cahoone's
hands had arisen,-but they well knew
that thls was almost next TO impossible,
az the auditing Committee had careful
~ examined the matter, and they were
unable tc solve the mystery ;--therefore,
the real, bona-tde object Of this inves-
ugation is 10 find out what the Dorr re-
bellion cost The State, with the hope Of
making political capital out Of il, by cx.
claiming against Wing extravaganza,
ar they term il.
This is locofoco movement. The
,ocoiocos, with few honorable excep-
tions, were the Dorrtes, and they crea
ted the rebellion and caused the neces-
sty Tor the expenditure of the money
for the purpose Of preventing a lawless
mob, under the leadership Of Dorr, from
trampling upon the Institutions of the
State, and taking the control Of the gov
ernment from the hands of its duly au-
thorised officers. And now these same
locofoco Dorrt 8, since they have acci-
dentally come into Office for one year
only, are diving into the Treasurer's
ofre, The first thing, TO ascertain how
much their own iniquity cost the State.
WE'LL this is very modest, to be sure
The acting portion Of the Committee is
composed OF Macy, Wing, Bradford
and Anthony, Democrats. George Tur-
ner, Esq, democrat, is Clerk of the
Committee. They have been at work
now about two weeks, and from present
appearances, Judging by the progress
which they have made, thus far, they
will not complete their labors under five
years. Well, these gentlemen cannot
afford to work Without compensation. -
The members Of the Committee will
want Il, least S5 per day for their strvi-
ccs, and Mr.. Turner will think that
$40 per day will be little enough re-
muneration for him, rs he will probably
have the bulk OF the labor 10 Perform
So that it is very plain that the cost OF
this mons ensical investigation, which is
ordered by ths locoiccos solely for party
purposes, vii! be as much. if no, more
than the whole expense Of the Dorr re-
be.lion. the cost OF tn. latter's trial and
conviction Of Treason, included. And
what will il all amount 10 7 Why when
the amount is accurately ascertaired
ana published, it will Only be an addit-
lonai stigma upon the Dorrltes and loce-
iocos for they caused the expense. and
they alone made it necessary for the
law and order General Assembly to ex-
pend the money Tor the purpose of saw
ing the State, and protecting the lives
and property Of lis citizens from the
plumber OF Do and his ruffan gang,
