Right about Face,

The State plunderers have found an
apologist at last. The last Harrisburg
Onton, journal that never was guilty
of giving publicity to an independent
thought, has been forced into the task of
washing the management of our
public works. The Union says our i'm
proVements are just beginning to prosper,
when their expenses have increased a
million in five years, where will we land
when we have 'prospered' for FIVE years
more! Shouldn't wonder if the Union
undertakes next to demonstrate that the
finances of the State are just beginning
to prosper too, since Gov. Bigler has
given undeniable evidence of his ability
and willingness IS increase our debt at
the rate Of a million yearl Prosperous
times these-an3 the good time still com
ing!

Singular Mania.

A Paris paper gives an account Of
very wealthy and popular man of the
Gironde, lately deceased, who in his lat
ter years was afflicted with q strange fan
cy for knives, daggers, and swords of all
sorts. He never saw one that he did not
seek to obtain it by fair means Or foul
In the course of six months he had pill
fered from his neighbors all their table
knives, and every sort of dagger he could
lay hands upon. But they knowing his
phantasy winked at it. After his death
in his Office, the key Of which he alone
had kept; there were found 5000 knives,
swords, daggers, &C., all neatly arranged,
with labels attached, which indicated the
place and name Of the owner, and the day
on which it was stolen.

EarthQuake.

The civil war in Venezuela has been
cut short by fearful catastrophe
most destructive earthquake at Cumana,
the capital city of the province of that
name, forming part of Venezuela, and
being the only province in rebellion. The
earthquake occurred the 18th of July
The first shock was felt only about two
minutes, yet in that short space of time
it destroyed every house but one in the
principal part of the city called Puente
Arriba. Six hundred soldiers in the
barracks were among the victims. The
Cumanans Immediately sent their submis-
sion to Gen. Monagas, and solicited sue
cor. Cumana is city of about 5000
population, lying on the Gulf of Cariaco,
and is the oldest city on the continent,
having been founded in 1923. The earth
quake was felt in Barcelona, and destroy
ed three large buildings, including the
barracks, just after 1000 soldiers had
left them. All along the coast of Venez-
ula shocks were felt, but no mischief was
done.

4 New Kind Of CGttOn.

We have seen specimen of new and
very beautiful sort of cotton, brought
from among the Pine Indians of New
Mexico, by an officer of the Mexican
Boundary Commission. Its popularity
consists in fine, silky staple, superior in
length and strength to all kinds previous
ly known. We learn that the seed has
been introduced into Texas, and that the
plant will soon be grown there extensive
ly. 1t has also the great advantage of
not degcnerating, and not requiring re-
newal of the seed. The plant, if all these
pcculiarities are proven permanently to
belong to it, must effect a revolution in
cotton raising.-Tibtne.

Alchemy Revived.

NJ. Theodore Tefereau has laid a pa
per before the Academy of Science at
Paris, in which he asserts that he has
produced gold by artificial means. He
believes that there are very few simple
substances in nature, and considers the
forty metals now assumed to be such are
in reality compound ones, probably of
one radical with some unknown BODY,
hitherto nor studied but which of itself
alone modifes the properties of this radi-
cal, and thus presents US apparently with
forty bodies, while in reality there is but
one.' He asserts he has discovered this
body by which the radical is convered
into gold.

Il hig State Convention,

The Wing State Convention assembled
at Huntingdon, on the 25th ult, and nom
mated Thomas A. Budd, Esq. of PLila-
dclpbia, for Judge of the Supreme Court.
The following in relation to the nominee,
we COPY from the Daily News, of Friday
last
Mr.. Budd is well and fayorably known
here, as gentleman ofripe education, and
as one of the soundest legal men at the
Philadelphia bar. Modest and unobtru-
sive be has never sought place or position.
and has devoted himself to his profession
with marked success. He is a gentleman
past the meredian of life, being about
forty-eight to fifty years of age, and was
a student of the late Jno. c. Lowber, a
gentleman whose name viii at once be
recognized by legal men as among the
first Of his day. A Pbiladelphian by
birth and education, bis nomination can
not fail to be received with peculiar pleas
ure by the Bar of our city.
We regard this nomination as emf
nently popular and fortunate; for whilst
1t Is Of course conceded that there are
now upon the Supreme Bench of the
State gentleman of acknowledged talent
and legal acumen, it is an admitted fact
that the great commercial and maratime
interests of our city, and indeed of the
State, has norepresentation on that Bench,
and when 1t is remembered that many of
the most important cases that are heard
before this Court are of this character, it
will at once be conceded that the policy
OF selecting a gentleman whose practice
has led his mind to their investigation
was praiseworthy and wise"

J. Porter BraWIey.

The Harrisburg JoHrnal, alluding to
j. PORTER BRAwLEY, the Locofoco can
didate for Surveyor General, says that
he sold his interest in the two sections of
the Allegheny State Railroad allotted him
by the Canal Board, at profit of SI3,-
900, and that it is generally understood
that he has an interest in other sections,
though his name appears in but two in
stances In the list of contractors. 1t will
be remembered that the two contracts a.
warded to j. PORTER BRAwLEY & Co.
had been bid for by responsible men
Sl2,7O I0wer than the sum to be paid to
BRAWLEY, and it is well known that he
never gave any attention to the sections
allotted him, but he secured the contracts
over better men and at exit avagant prices,
merely for the purpose of selling them
out at large profit. The Journal also
states that he gives little or no attention
to the Surveyor Generals Office, and
that he has not been in Harrisburg but
a few days since last spring. He has
been receiving his salary from the State
for doing nothing, and has been giving
his attention to fat government contract
he has received to supply pork for the
Navy. Mr.. BRAwLEY is again candi-
date for the Office be now disgraces, and
bis reelection would be stain upon the
character of the State. If all those aCho
E1'oao h1n1 to be incompetent a'ad a1lacOrthy
2f tie responsible trust, will vote against
him, he must be defeated By large ma
jority.

Alarming Riot at Niagara---Fight
between Negroes and Police Of
ficerS.
BUFFALO, Aug. 90

BUFFALO, Aug. 90.
A riot took place yesterday at Niaga-
ra Falls of a serious character.
A deputation of officers from the South
undertook to arrest negro waiter, at one
of the hotels, for an alledged murder.
The walters, believing him to be ar
rested as a fugitive slave, rescued him
from the officers, and barricaded the door
of the dining room. One of the officers
drew revolver, and snapped it at man,
but the cap missed fire.
The door was then forced-the man
again seized, and again rescued by the
negroes, who hurried him down to the
ferry, where he jumped into boat, and
was rowed half way across the river BY
the ferryman, who left the boat in the
middle of the stream, and returned on
another boat to the shore, to ascertain
the particulars of the case from the off
GERS.
Finding the crime to be murder, the
ferryman agreed to row them down to the
landing at the bridge, and there deliver
the criminal to the officers. The latter
then started for the lower landing, but
were preceded by the negroes, who, to the
number Of about 200, reached the land
ing before the officers.
The officers then claimed assistance
from a party of some 300 Irish laborers
employed on the railroad-and regular
pitched battle ensued, the negroes being
put to flight, and pursued by the laborers.
Several of the former were knocked down
with stones, and severely injured.
Sneed or Watson, was then taken from
the boat, placed in a carriage by the Off
GERS, and brought safely to Buffalo. ST.
500 reward had been offered for the ar
rest of Sneed, who will be conveyed to
Baltimore as soon as the necessary pa
pers are received.

One Week Later from Europe.

|
The Arabia at New York furnishes
one weeks later news. The difficulty be-
tween Russia and Turkey, it is thought
will be settled amicably through the me,
diation of England, France, Austria and
Prussia.
The London Morning Post gives the
following as the probable grounds of the
settlement:
awe have every reason to believe that
the event will prove our prediction cor.
rect when we say that the evacuation OF
the Principalities will be effected by
Prince Gortschakof, during the first week
in September. The to defnitive project
of settlement was sent from Vienna to
Constantinople, on the same day that it
was sent to St Petersburg, that is, on the
I'd inst. The acceptance of the Car WILDE
received at Vienna about the 14th. This
will, Of course, be despatched to Constan-
tinople, where it will arrive about the
Goth.
A Turkish ambassador will be read Y
then to start for st. Petersburg; and, VIC
understand, that as soon as the telegraph
informs the Russian Cabinet of the fact
of the Ambassador being on his road, the
Emperor will telegraph his orders to
Prince Gortschakoff to evacuate the Dan
ubian Provinces. These telegraphs, be-
ing for the most part old semaphores, will,
of course, not work with the same speed
as the electric, but they and the course
of events will be sufficiently rapid to war
rant US in expecting that by the 10th OF
September the last Russian soldier will
have re-crossed the Pruth."
The mode of settlement will be this:-
Reschid Pacha will address to count Nes-
selrode note, in which he will enclose
the frmans in which are accorded to the
Greek Christians, subjects of the Sultan,
more privileges than even Russia had
asked for them. He will say many civil
things to the Gar, and assure him of the
excellent disposition of the Sultan to-
wards his own subjects, to whom he has
accorded such and such rights. This
note will be presented by Turkish am
bassador, and the affair will be at an
end.
"The conclusion will thus be favorable
to Turkey, because she will have succeed
ed in rejecting the pressure of Russia for
some kind of synallagmatic arrangement,
which should give the Gar a right of in
terference between the Sultan and his own
subjects"
The steamship Monumental City was
wrecked on her passage from Port Philip
to Sydney, and thirty five lives lost. The
Arab ship, with the India mail from Lon
don of the oath of June, foundered at

The great review of the feet at Spit
head, by the Queen, took place on Thurs

comprised twenty five vessels of war, car
rying l Q, ,45O men, and l ,O79 guns. Thir-
teen of the ships were screw steamers, o
paddle wheel, having an aggregate of
9630 horse power, only three line of bat

steam. The smallest guns used were 80
Founders, the largest throw 64 lb shells,
but 66 Founders formed the bulk of the
