Am Outrageous Proposltiou.

Such may emphatically be termed the PROPOSE
ton now before the Senate, embodied in bill
reported Cd Monday by Mr.. G. w Warren of
Boston, to create Court Of Insolvency in each
county, the Judge of which is to be appointed
by the Governor, and to hold his Office during
good behavior.
When the people Of Massachusetts voted to
adopt the Constitutional amendments of 1856,
they supposed they had taken an important step
toward the elimination of executive patronage
Among the amendments, was the following pro-
vision, which it is thus audaciously proposed by
the present Legislature to nnllfy al one blow:
"The Legislature shall prescribe, by gen.
erai law, for the election of sheriffs, registers
of probate, commissioners of Insolvency, and
clerks OF the courts, By the people ofthe several
coHnttes, and district attorneys shall be cho-
sen by the people of the several districts, for
such term OF Office as the Legislature shall
prescribe" Art 10 of the Amendments,
approved and ratified by the people, May 20,
1855.
The idea is, il possible, cunningly to evade this
clear constitutional provision, by tho creation Of
new officer, to be appointed by the Executive,
the incumbent of which is to perform the duties
formed by a Commissioner Of Insolvency to be
chosen by themselves. But will the people sub
mil to the perpetrstion of any such outrage upon
their rights, by a set Of men whom they send
10 Boston for very different purpose, from
that Of nullifyng their constitutonally declared
sovereign will' Il is evidently trick of Coy
Gardner's, to provide snug berths for some Of his
favorites, who would stand poor chance II de-
pendant therefor upon the popular vote.
Warrington the Boston correspondent OF
The Springfield Republican, speaks thus indig-
nanty Of this uncAlled for proposition:
al don't believe that the legislature viii
consent 70 this, OF that the supreme court
would sanction IL; and il this legislature and
che supreme court consent, that the people
will allow their expressed will to be thus tri-
hed with. Why, II this plot succeeds. what
a 10 hinder the legislature from passing O law
establishing tho Office Of secretary Of the
cQurlss o. county attorneys, or solicitors, or

fione provision that clerks Of tho courts, dis.

HE PEACE Co~GREss.-lt is said that
Austria gives trouble by persistently refusing
to fix time for evacuating the Principali-

strongly averse to the Austrian position

BOLD ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-Y esterday
afternoon. at about 2 o'clock, H. G. Perkins,
Esq, Cashier of the Boston and Worcester
Railroad Corporation, was entering the door
at the foot of the stairs leading to the Hamil-
ton Bank. on State street, for the purpose of
making deposit of large sum of money
The money he had done up in package
which he placed under his left arm, and in
his right hand he had basket. Just at the
door he was met by man who suddenly
struck him blow in the face, and snatched
his basket. The package ofmoney was thrown
upon the floor and rolled into the entry, and
was afterwards recovered. The attack was SO
sudden that Mr.. Perkins had no chance of
selling the man, who, finding he had not got
what he wanted, dropped the basket and
walked off. Mr.. Perkins cried to have those
on the sidewalk to stop him, but his leisure
way of moving off prevented him from being
recognized as the rogue, and he escaped
Mr.. Perkins received a flesh wound under
the eye, but was not seriously injured Trav-

THE NORWICH LINE TO New YoRK.-Can
anything be more pleasant in the way of travel,
than trip to New York by the Norwich route,
from Boston, or from as far north or east as you
please to start from, via. Worcester to Allyns
Point and thence by the staunch, elegant and
commodious steamboats, Connecticut and Com
monwealth, through the Sound to the great COM
mercial emporium? We think not. The cars
are the easiest and most commodious we have
ever seen, and the boats are models of neatness,
elegance and comfort. The traveller is sure of a
good nights sleep if he desires it. and the best of
attention. society and fare il he chooses to sit up.
The same admirable arrangement that was made
last season for running the boat in connection
with the trains from Boston, Nashua and Lowell,
exists at the present time, and the business man
the pleasure eeker cannot fail of finding eve
thing to his mind on the whole route.

ABBE's PATENT PIG-PES.-We have before
called the attention of our readers to the Patent
Pig-pen and Feeding Troughs of Col. R. NJ
Able, which has met the approval of all the
farmers and breeders of hogs who have tested
its utility. 1t is very simple in its construction,
yet it is so efeetual preventive against the
wasting Of food, that it is impossible for the
swine to get anything out unless he eats it
Piggy cannot get his feet and nose into the
trough at the same time, and he is therefore COM
PEELED to be decent, economical and clearly, and
great saving of food is OF course the result.
These feeding troughs made of iron they are
neat and durable. Mr.. Rollins, the agent of the
patentee, who now in the city, will take orders
from all who wish them, give his personal atten-
ton to their construction, and warrant that eve
rybody who tries them will be satisfied with his
bargain.

charged with fraudulently attempting to evade the
payment of his fare upon the Nashua & Worces-

into the cars at Clinton, with ticket for Oak
dale, which he gave the Conductor. Instead of
getting out of the cars at oakdale, however, he
continued to occupy his seat to Worcester, and
refused to pay the additional fare alleging that he
bought through ticket, and that the Conductor
had taken it. Upon the arrival of the train in
Worcester, Timothy was arrested, and the evil
dence being altogether against the truthfulness
of his story, he was fined five dollars and costs.
