SENATORIAL ELECTIoNEERING.-T sudden
Importance of elected assemblymen is as mar
vellous as the condescension Of Office seekers
before election. Men dug out of a cayote hole
by the voters, and put in the Legislature, all
at once become objects of interest to log-rollers,
and arc frequently astonished by the anxiety
manifested as to their health, success, intentions
and antecedents, by distinguished strangers.
A great deal of such disinterested, benevolent
solicitude has been manifested toward our men,
bers elect since their names were known, and
string Of Senatorial aspirants have button
holed them to the very limit of boredom. To
give learners in political economy an idea of
how such things are done, we will record the
essay Of one distinguished gentleman in manu-
featuring admiration. The story goes that one
Of the members elect, physician, was called
on by DR.. Gwin, who conyersed freely with
reference to general topics, never alluding to
his own affairs. AT parting, he remarked that
his friend, DR.. II. was with him. and was desi-
rous of learning with reference to the diseases
of the mountains, and that as he was highly
scientific gentleman, doubted not he would be
a pleasant acquaintance. Shortly Or. II. ar
rived, and after a few remarks upon physic,
commenced an .eulogy Of his friend Gwin, his
great services, &C., in a manner that must have
been very painful to DR.. Gwinis modesty, had
he been present, and wound up with a glowing
eulogium of DR.. G S conduct and high-toned
bearing in the duel with McCorcIe Our
friend heard him patiently through, and then
quietly remarked People here think that was
very mean affair, Dr. The DR.. saw he had
overstepped his discretion-had not sounded
his man sufficiently before selecting ''the bright
particular" spot in DR.. Gwin's character, and
so commenced profuse apologies for said race
course brawl, saying his champion was forced
into it, &c. We have an idea that all that
electioneering powdersNas thown away.

BSg The item in reference to Ole Bull IN
the correspondence published last week in our
paper, we doubt not is correct, as it comes
from person whose word we implicitly trust.
If true there can be no objection to its publ
cation. A gentleman who gets drunk on board
steamer on Sunday, breaks the rules Of the
ship, and defes the Captain, may think himself
we'll used if he gets off with slight censure
from the press. The Gods take care of drum
ken men and fools, but we are not aware the
press is charged with the same duty. we
agree with the Telegraph that to mention the
travelling or other habits of some gentlemen,
sounds like scandal, and when those habits are
not an annoyance to others, may be allowed to
pass unnoticed. Such was notthe case alluded
to by our correspondent.

Providence, Tuesday, Oct. 8.

Quite an excitement was created here
to-day, in consequence of strange treah
of an old man named Lyman Hawes. lie
track of the Providence and Worcester
Railroad runs through land which former
ly belonged to him, and the price of this
land had been assessed by commissioners
at a valuation which he refused to accept.
To-day he placed small house, erected
by himself, upon both tracks, in which he
put several kegs which he said contained
powder, and then fastened himself inside,
by mailing up every entrance to it.
The Boston and Providence train, and
the Providence and Worcester train were,
as they came along, brought to a stand
still by the obstruction, and detained for
nearly two hours. The old fellow swore
that if they attempted to run the engine
through the house that he would fire the
powder and blow every thing to atoms
around him. After long delay, during
which the crowd increased to over thou
sand people, the North Providence and the
Providence Police arrived, when they fell
to work and with we'll directed blows, soon
smashed the doors of the house in, and
then seized the old man. 1t was with
difficulty at first that the crowd could be
kept from injuring him. He was hurried
away to jail. The crowd then attacked
the house and soon made complete wreck
of it. About half keg of powder was
found.-N 7. Times.

Presidential-The San Jose Tribune
some time since placed at the head of its
editorial column, as an indication of its
preference, the name of Millard Fillmore

tingulshed position the Sonora Herald ex-
presses its preference for Hon. Thomas
Hart Benton, in the following paragraph :
Among the various public men now
mentioned in connection with the Presi-
dency, there is not one whom we would
prefer above old Bullion, as he is familiar
iy termed. Not one among them all has
acted a more independent and patriotic
course nor is there one who deserves SO
much honor for faithful public services
rendered. The last of the great intellects
whose brilliancy has shed lustre around
the American Senate during the past
thirty years, and the greatest living Amer
can statesman, none so fit as he to sit in
the Presidential chair. With such man
at the helm, the character of our Govern
ment would again be raised to the proud
standard attained under that glorious old
hero. Andrew Jackson. We shout aye,

fusing to comply with the silly custom OF
drinking at bar.

ofTemperance We know it is improper, un-
bearable to state anything of a mans private
affairs, but we know tie victim of these re-
marks will excuse this liberty on the ground
of "oversight" Seriously, We are greatly
pleased with the intelligence. Henry Shpley
is gentleman of true native talent, extensive
practical and classic requirements, vigorous
and polished writer, and goes into whatever he
undertakes, whether spree or an grafton, with
all the zest of an active brain and sanguine
temperament We therefore believe he has
ioined the Sons in earnest, and will stick to
the pledge as he does to his honor. We con-
graduate him on an important step taken in
lile for his perseverance must bring abundant
reward to his own conscience, in the esteem of
the public, and in his personal advancement.
