The fate of the pro.slaycry liquor law in Penn
aylvania n still doubtful. The probability is, that
it has failed of securing a majority.
The ele ctions in Pennsylvania and Indiana de.
eide the character Of United States Senators foi
these States. They scth elect Senators the coming
winter.
NE" By more recent and accurate accounts, We
learn that Pennsylvania has elected four Nebraska
men, and Indiana two. S, Douglas and Pierce
have sir ont If .fGy-aeten Congrcssmca in Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio and Indiana. In the last Congress
there were Misty.oght.
ELEcTioy IN CALroRSIA.-Tho Democrats IN
California, though divided and running two tickets
have succeeded in clccting two Of them. The de-
featcd Wigs stood square on the Baltimore plat
form. and were for the Fugitive Slave Law and the
Nebraska Bill. Nebraska comes out poorly at the
elections, whether sustained by Wings or Demo
Gratis.
STuMrED.- Our government which delights to
tread down all rights Of individuals and communi-
ties when they refuse homage to the national Dtgon,
slavery, is loud and defiant in its professions OF

This is very convenient, in order to keep up name
and appearances. It has in this way come in con

A man by the name Of Gibson, resident in The
Dutch East Indies, had excited one of the sultanS
Of that country to rebellion against the Dutch Gov
eminent, Gibson was arrested, tried and thou.h
his alleged gull, was clearly proved, yet by some
quirk Of Dutch law, lie was acquitted. The case
had II second Eearing when he was convicted and
sentenced to twelve years Imprisonment. Gibson
however escaped the police and came home to
America, told his story at Washington, wicrcupor
the President instructed his minister, Mr.. Belmont,
the Charge at the Hague, to dcmand of the
Dutch Government, indemnity for Gibson. This
was refused, that government insisting that they
have the right to punish all violators Of the law
upon their soil, and are under no obligation to in
demnify the criminal for the natural consequences
Of his crime, conviction and punishment. Thus
President Pierce is fUiled. Whether we are to
have a Dutch war to indemnify Mr.. Gibson we don't
know.

lent aud Noisy knOw-NOthing State Convention IN
New York it turns out have nominated for Cover
nor Il .~tDrciyner. 1t turns out that ULLNAN the
Know-Nothing Silver Gray was born in the East
Indies.
We rccollect to have noticed that somewhere
else they made a similar mistake, nominating a
catholic for one Of their candidates.
THE (BosroN) TELEGRAPH, is the successor Of
the Commonwealth 1t is conducted with good
taste, spirit and ability. The cause Of freedom and
temperance has lost nothing by the change.

Iowa pLUxs.-The Council Bluffs Bugle acknow-
lodges Tie receipt of a dish Of wild plums from a
lady. Some of the plums he measured, and found
them four inches IN circumference.
THE Quo AND PENNSYLVANIA Horse FAIR, pass
ed off last week, quite to the satisfaction of its
projectors and friends. There was indeed a most
magnificent display Of horses; quite surprising
anything we had ever seen before or anticipated m
this occasion. There was however a deficiency in
the show Of some of the more common and useful
variety of this noble animal. A deficiency which
might have been supplied had the farmers, eren
IN this region alone, brought in some of their large
we'll formed and valuable animals.
SrovEs.--See Snider & Woodruf"s advertisement
in to-day's paper. Those who have used their new
coal cooking stove speak of it In the highest terms.
TERRIBLE DEsTRUcTIoN OF LirE.-By the loss of
the Arctic probably between three and four hun
dred human beings persisted. But this even seems
trivial, in view Of the terrible destruction of life n
few days before, on the Crimea, where it isreported
eighteen thousand were slaughtered in battle.
VINO is WHITE?--A correspondent of the New
York Times starts the question of the effect and
meaning of tho term whHe in the naturalization
laws. Is it intended TO exclude from citizenship
all but men of Caucasian race? Does it extend to
Chinese. Hindoos, American Indians, or is the re-
s~triction limited to persons Of negro. blood? The
immigration of Chinese into California is likely to
give particular importance to this question. Two
cases are mentioned in which naturalization papers
haye been granted 70 Chinese. :
