The recent election frauds il California have ,y
aroused the ingenuity Of our mechanics, in con-
structing ballot.box, to be Used in our own

as it might bc,) Several have been proposed but
tho most ingenious, IS the application Of Mr.Ds-
sener's counter to a box, BY which every vote de-
posted registers itself. Whether this will meet
the approval Of our g City Fathers'' or not is /,
matter Of doubt, '7R ~ 'A'' pnf

Compromise and in favor Of it's restoration, has

A HoRsE SroRY.---The Milwaukee Wis.
consin tells Of horse that recently died in
Oregon, Illinois. iad He was very ugly, and
would not be harnessed except with saddle,
and could make extraordinary time. He could
pass over 112 miles in IL hours. His usual
time from Oregon to Rockford, twenty-five
miles, was two hours. The DR.. who owned
him, has been heard to say that during six
years he has ridden him upwards Of twenty
thousand miles, and during all this time he
was never known to trip or stumble SO as to ar.
rest the riders attention. He was savage, be.
cause he was formerly wild horse on the
plains of Arkansas.

The RIGHT SPIRIT AROUSED I'VE copy the fol-
lowing as an illustration of the spirit which is
abroad in favor of Free Speech and Free Men.
1t seems that at the commencement exercises of
the Franklin and Marshall College at Lancaster,
Pa, James buchanan presided. What followed,
we leave it for the writer to tell: gaze ~ h
The students had invited their sisters, sweet
hearts and pretty cousins, TO be present and wit
ness their crowning laurels. Everything passed
Oft with the greatest eclat. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of any one, unless it was the
oration of W. w. Davis, of Sterling, ILL.,, which
really chafcd the sage Of Wheatland. The sub.
Ject was "Decline of Political Integrity.'' The
sentiments were noble and manly delivered in q
pleasant and forcible style, worthy Of maturer
years. He commended the patriotism of the
fathers OF the Republic, and denounced the de-
generate political hucksters of the present day.
who make all kind of sycophantic promises to ali
parties and portions of the country for even a
nomination by Convention, no matter how cor
rupt: or regardless Of political integrity. $50
moral courage and political integrity that men
are found who applaud the attack of Canine
Brooks upon the noble Sumner for defending
Freedom.'
During the delivery of this sentence the whole
house was still as death, and ut its close it was
heartily applauded. MIR. Davis finished his ora
tion and retired from the front of the stage amid
tbunders Of applause, and showers Of bouquets
from his lady friends. For him it was truly q
triumph. But retiring to his seat, next to that
of MIR. Buchansn, did be receive congratulation
of the Sage of Wheatland? No, no! Mr.. Bu-
chanan said to him, loud enough that the whole
class could hear: Sc My young friend, YOU look
upon the dark side of the pictu1e. Mr.. Summers
speech was the most vulgar TRADE of abuse ever
delivered in deliberative body" To which the
young orator replied that he 'shoped Mr.. Buchan-
an did not approve of the attacks upon Mr.. Sum-
ner by Brooks and Others" 10 which Mr.. Bu-
chanan rejoined that &c Mr.. Brooks was inconsid-
crate, but that Senator Butler was o very mild
man." Mr.. Davis expressed his regret at the
moderation of Mr.. Buchanan's views, and dropped
the conversation. After the close of the exer-
cises, the friends of Mr.. Davis related what l
have written. Mr.. Davis himself said he &c did
not think for a moment that he was not in con-
Versaton with JAS. Buchanan but now learns
that it was the Representative Of the Cincinnati
Platform he was addressed by. The whole mat
ter has caused no little gossip here in quiet old
Lancaster.

We have no change TO note ia the money mar.
ket for the last week, either at home OF abroad.
The finances Of the whole country are quite easy,
and our eastern exchanges predict an easy con-
ditiop Of the market for several months hence.
We clip the following item from the N. Y. Evening
POST hs;4.H 89f4
Money continues to abound beyond the demand
presented; but, in view Of the large shipments Of
specie, the large payments into treasury for duties,
and the heavy importations, Il is feared that q
change may come over the market too suddenly to
be agreeable, and this feeling checks stock spec
ulationsI materially. The stock market is, how
ever, essentially the stronger for it, as the decline
cannot be SO great as it otherwise would be, when
the change shall come. The banks will probable
show loss this week of about three- -auarters of
million of dollars of specie, with some increase
Of loans and discounts, as the banks appear free
lenders, under further increase of deposites on
interior account. There is no increase in city
| deposites.' .not n lrAf9

all first class stocks Or securities command little
more annual interest at their purchase value than
do the first class stock Of Europe, New York or

not yield a large rate of interest. Many Bank
