SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN MoY AMENsING PRIs-
oN.-A man named William Kane-who was
recently committed to Moyamensing prison
last night, while under the influence Of mania
a potu became violent while in an apartment
Of the prison known as ''purgatory". Some
other prisoners, to subdue the madman threw
him down and trampled upon his head. This
course had the desired effect, for the man died.
The coroner held an inquest but the verdict of
the jury was postponed until a post motem ex-
animation is made. Such transactions as the
above will give our prison as bad character
as that borne by the Tombs in New York.
Killing men because they are mad is not ex-
actly in accordance with the spirit Of the age.

The San llnfonio Ledger says the Catholic
clergy of that country are subject to the juris-
dction of the Bishop of Durango, and complains
that many evils result from il. Among other
things, the high price demanded for marriage
prevents il, and bad state Of Illicit intercourse is
the result. The complaint appears well found
ed, and should be remeded.

Cuba---its Present Aspect,

The English government is actively
engaged in carrying out policy in re-
ference to Cuba and adjacent Islands,
that calls for serious consideration Of
this government. If that government
is PERMITTED to hover about the Islands
with her war appointments and under
the guise of sycophantie philanthropy
to fill the West Indies with barbarous
Africans, to work under the appren-
ticing system, the peace of the South
ern portion Of this Union is in such
danger as to demand immediate at
tention.

The Spirit of the Morning Journals

The Gazette manifests some solici
tude about the opinion of Judge Per
kins in reference TO the Pacific Rail
road and the question is, how shoult
| the matter be settleds Should we ask
the gentleman himself. or enquire o
some whig journal for information
The only pause should be, to know, i
Judge Perkins is a man Of veracity -
We presume there is no one in the
District possessing the hardihood to
question the word Of gentleman
standing as high in the estimation Of
his fellow-citizens as Judge Perkins.
No, not even for political purposes.
Now we ask how does Judge Perkins
stand iii reference to the Pacific Rail
road, and what has he said: II re-
gard the Pacific Railroad as matter
of national interest, and though a
State Rights man of the strietest sect,
| believe that assistance can be rem
dered it by the Government, without
trenching upon any Of the cardinal
principles Of the republican parity
Now we ask in the name of common
sense, what is the use of endeavoring
to make it appear that Judge Perkins
is opposed to the Pacific Railroad 7
The Daily Gazette comes up to
our fullest anticipations-it is neat
sheet, and its appearance does away
with that lonely feeling we have always
on going into the street
every morning for the past year, to
have our own way about everything.
We hope to spend a pleasant season
with our neighbor, and under the ahigh
toned congeniality Of feeling about
which SO much has been said. we feel
satisfied that such must be the case.
Though we may rub against one an
other in picking up local items oocas-
onally, we are persuaded that it ean-
not interfere with our social intercourse
aud good fellowship.
BRYAN is a clever fellow--a true
Whig-a faithful exponent of the

Abuse Of Prerogative.

The abuse of rights granted by th'
people to their public functionaries
has got to be SO common Of late years
that it scarcely ever gets passing no
tice from the press. OCCASIONAL,
something occurs-some new act o
abuse Of power, that comes under oul
observation and then IL Is most Ger
tain to get a blow, though 1t be but q
feeble one.
Washington City being the centre
Of political triekery--where the arter-
les and blood vessels of the political
fabric centre !; we have always wished
to see an independent Journal at that
place, to expose the juggling without
the fear Of ffowns or fayors. Such a
paper would be essentially the @peo-
pies paper" and though it would nev-
er get any crums Of. public patronage,
yetan honest and fearless course would
ultimately win golden favor. Wash
ington City is full Of presses that
can be hired for small sum, to pro-
pogate any falsehood, andif occasion
requires fabricated one.
There Is no objection to this !; but
when the public ftinetionaries Of the
General Government, use their frank
ing privilege, to food the country with
all kinds of pufs for themselves and
friends, in phamphlet form, we really
think it reprehensible producing
a counter effect to that desired, where
ever they fall into a community pos
sessing the least intelligence. Pre-
cedence should not always be the
example. We know that it has been.
done by the party in power before
this, and the party before that, but
this does not give any character to
such infamous proceedings.
The mails have always been encum-
hered with such trash, and it is time
that the people should frown it out
Of existcnce--It is below par w'-h The
catch penny tracts Of Coiportcays,
and reflects no credit on the franlsing
privilege. We have been called OH
to express" ourselves thus, from the
fact that large lot Of phamplets en-
mating from one of the cabinet at
Washington, are aAoat in this com
; the object of which is to make
the people believe that the "Demo-
cratic" candidate for Congress in this
District Is a great man. One Of the |
(which is an anonymous ad-
dress) signed ''lberville" starts off with
out any preamble thus "Mr, Perkins
is one Of the most promising of the
rising men Of Louisiana" We doubt
not that some partizan, gives express
sion to this sentiment who (it is very
j. not acquainted with Judge
Perkins. Nit were not said in this
electioneerpg pamphlet we would be-
lieve its sincerity. We have the
pleasure Of an acquaintance with Judge
Perkins, and he is pretty generally
known throughout the District
Every one who knows him will testify,
that he is a man of more than ord;n-
ary talent--a clever gentlemen--pos-
sessing every qualification for the post
be seeks to occupy; and with these
qualifications added to the fact Of his
being a good Democrat he is most
certain to be elected. For his sake we
'ay keep off the catch-penny tracts
The Judge lives in this District and
ve presume he is better known to the
,eople here. then he il to the Wash
ngdon wire-workers.

NO. "a.

were very much tempted to write an
article "anticipatory" for "Wednesday
mornings paper, in reference to frost;
but the weather this season has shifted
and shifted, until the whole under
: garments of time, have become thread
bare-the French, German and Eng
!, lish--and even the unerring Spanish
almanacs, have been laid aside, as
worthless prognosticators- this season.
Fearing therefore to be caught in an
article announcing the appearance Of
frost, when there has been no frost; we
have deferred until how, to say posi-
lively and unequivocally "there has
been frost.' This we know is well
come intelligence--if not the best
news that could be given. We hope
there is no one possessed of the temer-
| ity to say there has been NO frost, but
will not be surprised to here it an
nounced that the frost did not possess
freezing qualities enough, te make it
safe for country people to come to
town. BE this as it may, we hope the
Board of Health will not fail to give
afficial information Of the fact, and tell
the people that there is now no dam
ger. Though this may be said, yet
we incline to our original opinion that
there is danger. We can can assure
our fellow citizens and the srest of
mankind" that they are just as apt
now TO be unceremoniously scratched
off the tax roll, and go into the mus
ty books Of probate, as they ever were.
And we would advise them, each and
every one to be better prepared with
their business arrangements to strike
balance. All pestilence can be
safely attributed to two great causes,
out of which many similar causes
grow first the lack of practical chris
tainity, and, second, the object power
ty Of very large class, out Of which
all the moral and physical ulcers Of
society grow. It is no disgrace to be
poor, but where laziness is coupled
with it, and the vices that consequent
ly follow, the sin is one committed
against heaven itself. We assert it
without the fear Of contradiction, that
not one twentieth part of the christian
ity preached nowadays, is ever put
to any practical use.

nj hangs that cloud on thy fair brow
With thy sweet charms to blend!
And is il thus that we should meet,
When other friends are nearl
With cold and fonna, brow to greet
When once thou vert so dear!
And is that pledge so soon forgot
Which once so thrilled the heart?
Which once could cheer lonely lot,
With more than magic art?
Do others claim that friendship now,
Which once WIS pledged 10 me!
DO others press that fair young brow,
With love and ecStacy?
And is thy heart so dcSolate
or friendships purest ties,
That each new friend claims every thought,
Whilst past affection dies!
And dare you nourish in your heart
The thought that forget
That could act laihless part
On friendships parapet!
Can you believe that time can break,
The spell around thee cast?
Or ever fton my bosom take
The memory of the past!
II thus you Judge, you never knew
The one who pens these lines;
You never felt that passion true,
Which swels this hear. Of mine. II.
