The Free HomesteadR, R,lr

The Washington Republic thus refers to the
Homestead Bill, as passed by the House A
perusal of this bill, as it now stands, leaves an
impression that there is a rather material dis
crepancy between the first and sixth sections.
The first provides that any person who is the
head of family, and citizen of the United
States, who had become citizen prior to
January last, shall be entitled free Of cost, to
one hundred and sixty acres of Government
land, condition of occupancy for five years.
The sixth section enacts, however that any in
dividual, now a resident of this country, and
who, before seeking benefit from this bill, shall
declare his intention to become a citizen, shall
be also entitled to a free grant on the condition
specified. This provision clearly nulliies the
restriction imposed by the first clause
Two other features of the bill are these-that
it excludes from its benefits parties alrea iy in
possession of land or who may sell land with
an intention to obtain free grant and that the
land acquired under its regulations shall not be
held liable for debts contracted prior to the is
suance Of the patent

WASHINGTON, y

WASHINGTON, May 10.
Extensive preparations are making for the ac-
commodations of the National Democratic Con-
vention and their friends, to be held at Balti-
more next month. The members of the Con-
vention are to be posted on an elevated platform
so as to enable all who attend to see and hear
everything
Measures have recently been taken to secure
the representation of a Whig Delegation from
Georgia to the National Wing Convention; and
South Carolina, it is said, will also be represen-
ted.
A number of the most prominent Democrats
here declare that if General Cass is nominated
that the South will repudiate it, and run can
didate of their own.
1t is said that the newly arrived Mexican Min.
lister has instructions to insist upon the payment
of claims of Mexican citizens under the late
treaty, on account of Indian depredations.

SENArE.-Mr. Dodge Of Iowa presented petit
tions for grant of lands to the Hungarian ex-
lies settled in that state-Mr. Shields reported q
bill abolishing the staff of the army, staff du-
ties to be performed by officers detailed from
the line-Mr. Rusk gave notice of bill to re-

The House went into committee on the Home

day, by Mr.. Brown of Miss, proposing to per-
petuate prescriptions to actual settlers on pub
lie lands pre-empted, by paying dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre to the government
The committee rose and reported the bill as a
mended to the House, and it was then agreed to-
yeas 107, nays Sc. 1t provides that any person
the head of family, citizen of the United
States shall be entitled to enter and settle upon
one-quarter section of unappropriated public

We congratulate the association of printers
who edit and control the above paper on its ap-
pearance 1t is beyond question the neatest
paper we receive. We extend to them our kind
est wishes for complete success and hope they
will continue to merit and receive indemnifca-
ton for their labor and praiseworthy exer-
tions. The paper is conducted with much abil-
ity, we are heartily pleased with its editorials
The democracy of Allegheny county, as well as
the democracy of the State, will be materially
benefited by it. The editor, LYNDE ELIOT
Esq, also proprietor, possesses the requisite
capacity to establish his paper upon firm ba-
sis and deserves support. Another of the pro
prietors, John Layton, Esq, fully understands
the business arrangements and will prove his
efficiency in this respect. Another, James f
Campbell, Esq, formerly had charge of the
..Mountaineer in this place, and many ''tims
and off, has he instructed us at the case. We
are pleased to notice his continued advance

Water Works in Ebensburg.

In the event of fire, and in the absence OF
the means wherewith to supply ourengines with
water, how awful might be the devastation OF
property. 1t would be impossible to counteract
the ravnges of fire stormy day under the
present system of filling an engine with water
by the bucket full. How important then that
the citizens should, Gin the time of peace, pre-
pare for war;" A proposition has been made by
Edward Shoemaker, Esq, to the authorities, to
furnish constant stream of spring water
through 5-S inch pipe for an unlimited num-
Der of years, into the interior of the borough,
at cost not exceeding $1,000. So valuable an
acquisition to the borough, whether we take in
20 consideration the comfort and convenience of
the citizens protection in case Of fire, is
desirable, and the amount specified is by no
means so large that it could not easily be sub
scribed. We expect the Town Council Will take
favorable action upon the proposal for the rea-
son that it would, if successfully carried out,
be the means of promoting the health and hap
piness of the people, and more especially be-
cause the security and preservation of property
depends upon some such measure. The cost to
each citizen would be trifing, and the good that
must necessarily follow from so beneficial a
work will be shared in alike by all.

Death from Camphine.

The Hollidaysburg Register says that boy
named John Updegrove, about IA years of age,
came to his death on the morning of the 9th in
slant, on board the section boat Hopewell, Cap
tain Ford by the bursting of the large bow cam
phine lamp. About o'clock on the night pre-
vious the bowsman took the lamp into the cabin
clares, carefully adjusted it, applied a lighted
taper, when it immediately exploded, scattering
the burning liquid through the cabin. The
bowsman rushed from the cabin and plunged
into the canal and thus saved himself The poor
boy was sleeping on the lower berth, and was
Immediately enveloped IN flames All his clothes
were burned from his body, many parts of which
were literally roasted.

Escape Of Thomas Meagher.

Thomas Meagher has escaped. The noblest
and most gifted of our Confederates has broken
his chains, and is now freeman in the world
Thank God. Thank God for his deliverance
new hope is given to iberty-a glorious I'D
vocate is restored to Ireland.
We have but meagre details to disclose in or
der to satisfy the impatience of the country to
hear of this fortunate story. Here is the whole
narrative.
One of the most estimable and independent OF
our citizens, (whose name we have permission
to make known to Meaghers friends,) has com
municated to US the joyful intelligence. He
has received a letter from his brother-in-law, an
assistant surgeon in the British navy, written
from Hobart Town, and bearing date the 18th
of last January, which states that Meagher had
escaped, and that the government officials had
searched his house III vain. He had fed beyond
capture and pursuit. The bloodhounds were af-
ter him, but had missed their prey.

The Political Eop

The Maryland State Capitol Gazette says thst
very little can bepredicted as yet relative to tbs
action of the Democratic National Convention
1t confessed on all sides that Cass will come
there very much stronger than any other candi-
date whatever, and will probably get over hun
dred votes on the first ballot The following
States are considered certain for Mr. Buchanan
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and New Jer-
sea. 1t is also said that he may get two or
three districts in Ohio, through the Influence O.
Ex-senator Allen. The vote now stands certain
for Douglas-Iowa, Illinois, Florida, Georgs
Arkansas, South Carolina, and fourteen dis
tricts of Ohio. Indiana goes for the noble old
Roman, General Lane, as her first choice Del
aware, Louisiana, Michigan, and large por
ton of New England and large portion of
Ohio, are committed to General Cass. Ken
tucky goes for General Butler, New York fes
Marcy. Most of the New England States vii
strike for the highest bidder at the Convention
itself. The vote for Virginia will be determin-
ed by circumstances transpiring there also.

Fergus O,Conner.

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, under date of May IA, thus
writes concerning the doings of the great char
tist orator -
''This morning while business of the Superb
or Court was quietly progressing before Judge
Sandford, q large fine looking man entered the
Court room, and walking forward to the bench
mounted the platform, and with the utmost
RonchaLance seated himself beside the Judge
All eyes were turned towards the stranger, and
''Who is it ~ ''Who is it ?" was queried on all
sides. At length after taking deliberate view
of the room and audience, bench and bar, the
stranger descended from the bench and walked
out with listless air, as if he had no special
object in view.
The singular genius was Fergus O'Conner and
this is specimen of his conduct from day to
day. As he was going out, gentleman con-
nected with the press, who had known Mr.. O'C.
in London, approached him, and after the usual
salutations had passed, enquired "How is your
health now, Mr. OConner ?'' ssOvery bad, We
ry bad, replied the NJ. p 81 eat nothing all
yesterday, very bad, very bad" And this was
his reply to similar questions yesterday and the
day before, notwithstanding he does good table
duty all the time. 1t is not surprising that a
commission of lunacy was issued or applied in
his case, in England.

Awful Death.

In Baltimore recently, John r. Burns, grocer,
residing at No. 80 Ross street, died from poison
communicated to his system by a diseased horse
afflicted with glanders, and during an admins
tration of medicine, thrust in the animals mouth
his hand, the middle finger of which had been
previously cut, and the flesh laid open. IhFo
this wound the poisonous virus was absorbed
and modification having superYened. PToi;
Smith was called upon to amputate the diseased
member. Perceiving, however, that the poison
had penetrated TO every portion of the uniortu-
nate mans system, the Professor declined per
forming the operation, and stated that no eaFta-
ly skill could save his life. After lingering IL
great agony, death closed the scene. The corps
presented a blackened, hideous appearance
