THE CHARGE OF BRIBERY.-The Providence
Journal publishes the evidence taken before the
Committee appointed by the lower branch Of the
Assembly 70 investigate the recent charge Of bri-
berry. Il appears from this evidence, that certain
parties, one OF whom is stated 10 be Democrat
and another Wing, made up purse OF $500 as
an indictment for six members Of the Assembly
to vote for Mr.. Whippe for nited States Senator.
These parties actually approached several mem
bers OF the Assembly with their base offer, and
and bat is more singular il does not appear that
either Of these members, although they refused 70
take the money, spurced the bribe with that in
dignation which was becoming incoruptible men.
All Of the witnesses refused 10 testify who the
parties were who offered the bribe

THEY are stricken, darby stricken
FAINT and fainter grows each breath,
And the shadows round them thlcGen,
or the darkness that Is Death.
We are with them-bending o er them
Ano the Soul IN sorrow saith,
"Would that had pass'd before them,
To the darkness that IS Death
They are sleeping, codly sleeping,
In the grave } ard, still and lone,
Where the winds, above them sweeping,
Make a melancholy moan,
Tricky round us-dsrkly o er US
Is the pail of sorrow thrown;
And our heart beats make the chorus
OF that melancholy moan.
They are waking. brightly waking,
From the slumbers Of the tomb,
And, eDrobed 10 light, forsaking
It's impenetrable gloom.
They are rising-they have risen
And their spirit forms Hume,
In the darkness Of Death s prison,
The imPenetrabe gloom.
They are passing, upward passing,
Dearest beings Of our love,
And their spirit forms are chasing
In the beautiful above;
There we see them-there we hear them
Through our dreams they ever move,
And we long 10 be anear them
In the beautiful above.
They are going gently going,
Ia their angel robes to stand,
Where the River of Life is flowing
In the far-of distant land.
Weshall mourn them-we shall miss them
From our broken little band
But our souls shall still caress them,
In the farof Silent Land.
They are singing, sweetly singing,
Far beyond the vale of Night
Where the sngelharps are ringing,
And the Day is ever bright.
We can love them-we can greet them
From this land Of dinner light,
Till God takes us hence 10 meet them
Where the day is ever bright.

Electoral RefOrm-New Plan of Voting

Correspondence Of The Tribune.
v,y,,oxr Monday FEB. 3, 1851.
DyAR GRvyIyy, have read over with good
deal Of interest what you say in the Weekly I''b-
,ne ~ Ian H. in regard to the election Of PreIi-
dents by the people. As 10 National Conventions
agree with you, and as to your substitute agree
With YOU in the main, bat have some few objec-
tiops in the direction Of its prsctcability, which,
with your leave, at some future time, shall state
and urge provided you continue to advocate your
special plan.
Meanwhile allow me TO suggest for your con-
alteration the outline Of new mode OF election
in general 1t is needless TO dwell on the well
known fact that our present modes OF election are
very imperfect and liable to be perverted and con-
yerted to strange purposes. The new mode which
7 am about to sketch is not, as it seemed to me,
liable to these objections, and is capable Of almost
universal use-and may be called
Election By Number.
Each voter to write on his ticket the names OF
rs many Of the prominent candidates for the Office
in question as he thinks proper and prudent
numbering them /, ., 3, 4, &c. according to his
preference. For example, ballot for Governor
may read thus:
J. John Doe David Ames
2 Richard Roe Moses Baker.
g. John Smith
The proper authority to canvass and declare &C
oording to the following rule, viz;
If any candidate has of No. votes majority
of all the votes cast, he is to be declared elected
otherwise that candidate is TO be declared elected
whose name is found written on the greatest
number of ballots PrO0ided, in case of a tie be-
tween the two highest candidates, that one OF
them is to be declared elected who shall have the
largest number of No votes.
To illustrate let us suppose Presidential
Election has taken place with the following re-
suit of electoral balloting, viz; lat random)

We must oppose any plan or project that
requires an alteration of the Federal Con-
stitution, as this does. We consider such
alteration morally impossible, and there
fore resist any movement looking toward it
as involving waste of time and attention.
Our correspondents plan does not propose
to remedy a specific evil or abuse, but to
change the mode of elections generally.
We spprehend this could not succeed even
in a single State; we arc sure it could not
in the Nation. Ell. Ifib.

LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA.

The Steamship Crescent City arrived at New
York on Friday evening from Chagres, bringing l3O
passengers and ,275 in gold. The United States
mail steamship arrived at the same port on Saturday,
with the mails from the Isthmus, California, Oregon,
and the Sandwich Islands, bringing $50 passengers,
and $312,3 300 in gold.
The political news is not of striking interest. The
election of United States Senator had not taken place,
but the 18th Of February had been fixed for trial.
The contest seemed to be narrowing down between
Col. Fremont and +. Butler King. The Pacific
News claims Democratic majority of four in the
Legislature, but the party appeared to be somewhat
divided.
Business was rather dull at San Francisco.
A bill had passed both Houses of the Legislature,
by twothrds vote, to remove the State capital from
San Jose to Mallego, and wanted only the signature
of the Governor 10 become law.

AN OUTRAGE.

We see it stated that the dwelling of Col. Lee, of
Philadelphia, counsel of Mr.. Perdue, of Baltimore,
in the recent fugitive slave case, has been shamefuy
disfgured by throwing some black substance on its
walls!
Thus it is that the lawyers even in the free States,
who appear under oath and pay for Southern men
seeking their just rights, insulted and their prop
erty injured account Of it. If such things per-
mtted, it will not be long before it will be impossi-
BILE to get legal aid in the free States in connection
with escaped slaves. The members of the bar will
be compelled to refuse performance of their duty
Those who did this low deed, "were of course
sympa,hizers with the negroes, says the Baltimore
Sun. Of course they were, OF negroes themselves.
These negro sympathizers " are by means scarce
in the free States.
