Another Candidate for Congress.

Our readers will perceive in another column of this
paper, a card from D. K. McRae, Esq of Whining
ton, in which he announces himself candidate for
Congress in this district. Mr.. McRae is a getleman
of talents and distinction, and has heretofore acted
with the democratic party We regret that he has
seen proper 10 place himself in attitude of opposi
ton to that tried and faithful public servant the Hon.
VIM. S. Ashe. Mr., Ashe has, in opinion, strong
claims upon the democracy of the district for re-eec-
ton He was first brought out four years ago by a
convention of democrats assembled for the purpose
of concentrating the party strength upon proper per-
son. He was duly elected. second time he was
elected, and without opposition He now comes be-
fore the people of the district for the third time asking
their endorsement Of his their representative
If he has discharged the high duties of his position
ably and faithfully he ought to be returned We be.
lieve that he has done this,-hat he has beenone oil
the most useful and efficient representatives we have
ever had.
The candidates will, we suppose, address the peo
pie of the different counties during the ensuing sum

Later from Panama-Gorgona destroyed by Fire

By the arrival of the steamship Philadelphia we
have Panama papers TO the Sd inst.
The Star says that the British Pacific Steam Ship
Company have increased the prices of travel and
freight on the route from Panama to Valparaiso and
intermediate ports. The reason given is the increase
of prices in coal, provisions and salaries OF those en-
ployed in the line, which is nearly double what they
formerly were.
On the evening of the 25th ult., fire broke out at
Gargona, and consumed the entire village, with the ex
cepton of the Office of Messrs Ran Runnels & Hnck'
ley. The Herald of the 29h ut. says:
All the hotels, transportation offices and stores nave
been entirely destroyed and the losses viii! fall heaV
ly upon the proprietors Mr.. Camrubl, who had on
the day before the fire purchased one OF the hC'sls'
heavy loser. Mr.. L. H. Howard, MIR. Iaber ana
others have suffered considerably The fire is sa'a
be the work of an incendary, Carthagenlan' VINO
known, and for whom active search has been maOs'
but up to the present time without success. "eps,
sumo that business will be removed to cruces, a.
the season has so far advanced as soon to renoe "'

Accidental Omission.

From some accidental omission, occurring in the
making up of the Weekly form, in the printing Of
Gee, the name Of Hon. VIM. S. Ashe, which appears
at the head Of the Daily Journal, has failed to
py the same position in the Weekly, as it was in
tended that it should have done for the last two
weeks or simultaneously with its appearance in the
place in the Daily. 1t is, of course, subject to
any authorized action of the District, and without
reference to the present canvass between Mcssrs
Ashc and McRac having been placed so in one of
our issues and intended TO have been in both prior
to the commencement of that canvass, and from
considerations totally unconnected with it, which
have already been stated in this paper and in regard
to which We have yet seen nothing calculated to

MEssRs. F.. J. HALE & Son The Superior Court
was in session this week, Judge Dick presiding But
little of importance occurred except the trial of Joseph
K. Groves, charged with kidnapping, which excited
much interest in consequence of the frequent commits
sion of this offence in this section Of the State The
trial commenced on Wednesday and occupied the time
of the Court until Thursday evening, when the Jury,
after retiring about two hours, returned verdict of
guilty. The case was argued at length by Mr. Solic-

State; and H. L. Holmes, D. Reid and w. K. Slocum,
Esquires, for the prisoner. The prisoner was senen-
ced to be hung on the first Friday in July, from which
he prayed and obtained an appeal to the Supreme

their forces for the accomplishment of an object
common to all-say, the temperance reform. Do
they, by this union, to be Methodists, Bap-

not, by any means. Now, the case in Massachusetts,
is precisely similar in character. A reform in the
State Constitution is demanded--two reform Con-

be precisely similar, having no reference to national
politics. but strictly confined to their State Is
