Preparations fsr enormous frauds hare been made
in view of q approaching election in Pennsylvania.
In Philadelphia it appears that between ten and ff
teen thousand names have been added to the extra
assessment lists, mainly by the Democracy. There
are four thousand in Millward's district alone.
Those facts, together with the circumstance that the
Commissioners have determined not to publish the
names and residences, IL usually done, assigning
the reason that appropriation had been made for
such publication By the Democratic Councils, have
excited much feeling, showing as they do manifest
design 10 carry the election By rand The cooniza-

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN On TINES In
an old English newspaper, Lloyds Evening
Post, November 4, TIA, now before US
is the following paragraph;
This morning the seven following NAL
efactors were executed at Tyburn, pursuant
to their sentence. viz: Chas. Nangle, for
forging on Endorsement Of the name Of Rob
ert SwyeF, on a bank post bill for fifty
pounds, and uttering the same to Mr.. Bar
rett, in the Minories; William Hughes, fol
returning from transportation before the
expiration Of his time; Chas. Mills and
John Pugh, for robbing Lawrence Gibson
in q field near the Jewsharp House, Fig
lane, Of a guinea aud six shillings; Wm
Grifiths, for breaking open the house o
Joseph Palmer, in Compton street, Soho
and stealing plate, &c; John Holden, fol
stealing pair Of breeches and about twelve
pounds, the property Of Timothy Marshall
in his dwelling house at Drayton, neal
Uxbridge; and Abraham Abrahaus, con
victed in April session last, Of feloniously
publishing an order Of payment Of money
for payment Of Fifty pounds" &c.
Not one Of the above had committed
any Of those crimes for which the gallow'
is now thought the proper penalty. Next
to the barbarity of despatching criminals
for such offences as are enumerated above
we are struck with the GOODNESS with whicl
the whole business is despatched in single
newspaper paragraph. The journals O.
modern times often give one or two col
umns to an account of the hanging of q
single man; whereas, the old fashioned news
papers recorded the execution of seven mel
in about as many lines.-[ Richmond Dis

WASHINGTON Cry, Aug. IS, 1856.

WASHINGTON Cry, Aug. Is, 1896.
DEAR JUDGE-I have left you to be writ
ten to tonight. being possibly the latest We
can send. Congress adjourned at ~ NJ.
to-day, sine die. Gen. Lane and myself
deemed it Of the utmost Importance that
legislation upon our war expenses, much or
little, ought to be had this session. 1t was
too late to reach the Territorial bills in
the House, and there was opposition enough
TO prevent q suspension Of the rules for the
purpose of taking any bill out of its place
in the calendar. Through the kindness Of
Col. Weller, in the Senate, we got an
amendment upon the Miscellaneous Appro-
priation bill, and but for Stewards opposi-
ton it would have been made satisfactory,
as upon his motion a portion Of the amend
ment was stricken out The bill was finally
passed this morning, signed by the Presi-
dent, and is now the law Of the land.
There were no fewer than three Confer
ence committees upon it, although our mat
ter was at no time in dispute 1t provides
that the Secretary Of War shall adjust aud
allow the necessary expenses incurred by
the people of the Territories of Oregon and
Washington in defending themselves from
Indian aggression. He is authorized to
raise a Commission for this purpose, if he
chooses, and am inclined to believe that
such is his preference.
The President has issued is Proclama-
ton this evening for an Extra Session, to
commence on the 2lst.
The Army bill, proposing to appropriate
several millions Of dollars, was killed in the
House, after several Conference committees
had had It in consideration without success.
The Black Republicans were in earnest
about the thing, and acted with their eyes
open. The Army being unprovided for is
the occasion Of the Proclamation. A large
number of private bills which had passed
both Houses and only needed the Presi-
dents signature, were also lost in the hurry
of adjournment. In fact, the hammer fell
and the House was declared adjourned
sine die, in the midst Of calling the yeas and
nays.
Not single bill for any Of the Terrific
ries has been passed. This is something
very unusual. The Black Republicans
care nothing about Territories, it is a mere
profession Of principle with them-nothing
more. They have become so corrupt on
this Kansas humbug, that they are ready
for any dcviltry. In my judgment, Bu-
chanan will be elected over Free-hEmJHg
by very decided vote.
Yours, always sincerely,
GEO. L. CURRY.

A sectional Party.

If any one doubts whether the black
republican convention, which met at Phila-
delphia recently, is q sectional oTgphiza-
ton, he has only to look over the list Of
delegates who assembled there. Out Of
555 delegates, the abolition strongholds Of
New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio send
2O3. In the good old democratic State Of
Pennsylvania, only Is are found base
enough to desert their country and lift the
banner of disunion and Niger freedom.
There are also but comparatively few from
the democratic States Of Iowa, Illinois, In
diana, Michigan, New Hampshire and
Maine. South Of Mason and Dixon's line,
there can be found, we are happy to say,
but 81 men so degraded as to cOnsort with
PassmOre Williamson, and other negro
stealers. These are mere volunteers COM
ing, as the abolition papers allow, from
particular districts" rather than from
the people in q word, they represent
themselves, and no one else.
We have called this sectional party,
and as the time has gone by when this
term would have any force unless It be true,
we will appeal to facts The speakers Gu
the occasion seemed to fight this charge
with more vehemeDce than any other, a
proof that they feel its force One speaker
in denying it said they were national be
cause they sought to perpetrate freedom"
Whose freedom 7 Why, the freedom O.
the negro in other words. he labored for
abolition. This, he said, they meant 70
carry in all parts of he ecWntryP What
does this mean but one section interfering
with the right Of another 7 Tho above
sentiment was greatly applauded BY the
convention, and we now trust that the
Tribune and Times will not again deny
that they belong to a sectional party that
is seeking to overthrow the domestic insti-
tutions Of States in a word, to light the
flames Of civil war all over the land. Such
is the object Of those who shrek for niggef
freedom.-Nep York Day Book.

A Masonic Burial at Sea.

During the recent trip Of the steamei
Empire City from Havana to this port, OF
incident occurred which left a deep ant
permanent impression npon the minds Of al
who were on board Death is at all timei
a fearful thing ; but when the King o
Ttrrors claims his own upon the sea, nnL
rudcly sewers the associations which invari
ably connect those who journey together
upon the great deep, peculiar feeling is
experienced that fingers upon the mind, and
causes Que to remember yiyidly for years
what would, under other circumstances
pass away Ike the summer breeze, leaving
little oruo trace upon the memory.
/ The same day the steamer left Havana
/ April llth, it was reported to Capt. Win
die that one Of the cabin passengers, Mr.
Jos. WATERMAN, formerly Of Galveston
Texas, had died at 3 o'clock, Of consump
tion, and, in accordance with the customa,
ry usOgeS at sea, the remains were placed
in hammock and laid upon the quarter
deck, in order to be buried at sunSt. The
deceased was a Royal-Arch Mason, for,
merly attached to a Lodge and Chapter oI
the fraternity in Galveston ; and, as there
were several of the Mystic Tie on board the
steamer, it was resolved that the deceased
should be inferred with the Mason honors
peculiar to the Order.
A formal demand was made on Captain
Windle for the remains, who promptly
acceded to the request, with that urbanity
which is SO marked trait in his character
as a gentleman and as the sun was about
sinking beneath the wave, they were placed
in charge of such Of the Fraternity as were
on board, TO be buried by them with the
last sad rites peculiar to the institution.
The remains, which had been covered by
the United States flag, were laid upon q
plank at the stern Of the steamer, and as
tile ships bell began to toll the intervals
the brethren formed a circle around the
corpse, when the Masonic burial service
was beautifully delivered by Past Master
j. L. Elliot, of New York, who presided ai
Master upon this occasion. The ceremony
beautifully impressive at all times, was re
markably so upon this occasion and wher
the Worshipful Brother pronounced the
words, we, therefore, commit the body
Of our departed brother to the great deep
bis memory shall remain engraven upon
the tablets Of our hearts, while his spirit
shall return unto God who gave it," single
plunge was heard, and the deceased had
gone to his last long home, accompanied
by the last fond words Of alas, my brolherl
from those Of the Fraternity who formed
the broken chain upon the quarterback o.
the steamer.
1t is Of very rare occurrence that any
member Of the craft is buried with the
honors Of the Fraternity at sea but the
character of the deceased was so well known
as " just and upright Mason" that it was
considered but just tribute to his memory
1t was q scene marked with more than at
ordinary degree Of solemniiy, and will no
readily be forgotten by those who partici
pated in the Obsequies Of the deceased

TIE CAMEls "A. correspondent Of the
New Orleans Picayune thus notices the
arrival Of the United States storeship,
Supply, with her cargo Of eamels:
with q clear sky, fresh breeze and fne
weather, we left the Crescent City on Fri
day morning, May 18th, and directed our
course down the Mississippi river, our OBJ
ject this trip being 10 convey load Of cam
els 10 Matagorda. The camels were aboard
q storeship lying At the mouth. The rich
plantations that skirt the banks Of this fa-
nous river on both sides soon came in view,
at this season displaying their fertile ap.
pearance, impressing Us with the scientific
care bestowed on them by the planters Of
Louisiana. The flowers and vegetables
with Variagated hues, and trees Of the
richest foliage, all conspired to show ma
ture's beauties in the merry month Of May.
II ought surely to soften the heart Of any
fanatical abolitionist tosee the substantial
cottages Of the negroes, each with his little
spot Of ground growing vegetables for the
slaves enjoyment, for we cannot but re-
gard this attention paid to their comforts
as pretty good evidence Of kind treatment.
Towards evening the dreary mud banks
Of the mouth came in view, the land all
the time sinking lower and lower. The
camels Werv on board the United States
sisreship Supply, by the side Of which we
were soon fastened, and ready to receive
the animals. It being late. we did not
transfer any Of them that day We went
aboard the ship Supply, however, impelled
By curiosity 70 see the wonderful beasts.
They were lodged below, well sheltered from
the bad weather, and bad three Arabs and
two Turks TO attend TO their wants. The
ship had brought them q long voyage from
Smyrna, consequently the poor animals
had been co6ned in a very narrow place
for over three months. They numbered
thirty Eve, including several young ones
one Of which was born on the voyage, in
the vicinity Of the trade winds, in conse'
quence Of which the jolly Jack tars called
it--'Trade Wind The others had variou'
Arabic cognomens, but it intended to name
them after the states Of the Union, which
would be highly appropriate. The Supply
is fne specimen Of our naval management
being an extremely neat vessel, a fast sailor
and the officers and crew Of the best Shl
is commanded BY Capt Porter, and coulC
not be in better hands, for he regards thu
United States, interest as his own.
"The next day the camels were installed
in their new home; but not without som,
difficulty, for their natural timidity ren
dered them dinicult 10 manage.
''The animals being all safe on board
and everything in perfect order, we bad'
adieu to the ship Supply. Both fred 4
salute, and our ponderOus wheels striking
the water soon bore us out into the opeI
sea, in full speed for Matagorda Bay"

HoLD OF THE WRoNe CUsroMER
Nicaragua Transit Company evidently got
hold Of the wrong person, when Il came in
conflict with the United States District At.
torney in New York. The President Of the
Company, Mr.. Lord, recently sent q letter
to Mr.. McKeon, the District Attorney, sta
ting that the "Star Of the West . was
about to sail, and, in order to satisfy the
federal government that ne cannon was con-
cealed, two Deputy Marshals should be-
placed on board, to remain ill the ship was
loaded. The Company further say, through
their President, that they will sell every
man ticket for California, OF any interme-
diate point on the route, who may apply
and pay for one, nor shall they make any
inquiries Of those going to Nicaragua, as
to the object Of their visit or the nature a
their business. Such inquiries, they add,
are no part Of their business or duty and
they leave them for the Government or the
District Attorney to establish such an in
QUESTION, and take the odium cf Il. Mr.
McKeon replies TO this insolent note. that
when the case Is presented which requires
the interposition Of the Government. be
would act as bis duty requires; that It Is
unnecessary 10 invite the Government oiIic-
ers to fnl6ll subordinate functions, ordinafi-
y discharged BY the Company's own clerks,
and to supervise the legality Of their con.
duct in order to be assured Of their good
faith. He also hints very strongly that the
Company is likely to forfeit its bonds by
denationalizing their vessels He adds.
Your course may involve our national
character. On the President Of the United
States is deyolved the duty Of recognizing
foreign governments. It cannot be admit
ted for one moment that the Accession
Transit Company, foreign corporation,
formed in Nicaragua, for the mere purpose
Of carrying passengers and freight i0r hire,
and bound to pay a tax for that privilege
to the government Of that State, can an
thoritatively settle for The people Of the
United States the government Of Nicara-
qua. II would be degrading to the char
acter Of the United States II their daty,
national honor, and dignity, were at the
mercy Of any mere trading and mercenary
corporation, disavowing any responsibility
to the American people The Accession
Transit Company may erect and depose at
will governments in Nicaragua, but II can
not dictate the policy Of this government.
/ do not believe but that the Congress q
the United States will exercise the power
they hold over your special privileges, II Il
should be made TO appear to them that your
course tended to c0mplicate our relations
with foreign powers. The time when mon
eyed monopolies could arrogate to them
selves the political powers Of the nation,
passed away with the struggle Of the Bank
Of the United States against the govern
ment Of the country, under the administra-
ton Of Andrew jackson Defiance Of the
laws may suit the present interest Of cor.
poration, but sooner or later i will be found
that there is a spirit in the American pee.

engaged in supporting the honor, peace, and

bGr An Englishman has patented q
mode Of constructing steam boilers in such
a way that they may gradually revolve on
an axis, so that a fresh surface Of the boiler
may be constantly exposed to the action Of
the fire, instead Of allowing the latter al
ways TO act on the same surface. One Of
the ways Of accomplishing ths-and sup
posing an ordinary cylindrical boiler to be
chosen for that purpose, the patentee bolts,
riVets or otherwise fastens at each of its
ends an axis Of q suitable length, supported
on bearings in the usual way. One oil
these axis may be of solid iron, but it is
preferred 10 be hollow and provided with
a stnliug-box, through which water pipe
passes, in order to feed the boiler with
water, and it is also on this axis the pat
entee prefers placing a water-gague, to in
dcate the level Of the water in the boiler.
To this is fastened cog-wheel into the
cogs Of which an endless screw or spur
wheel is working, or else q pully with a
chain, by which slow revolving motion is
given to the boiler. The other axis, fast
ened ut the other end Of the boiler should
be hollow, and through this hollow axis
and through a stuniug-box with which il is
provided, a steam pipe passes, which is
bent upwards and always remains so inside
the boilerd and it is by means of this steam
pipe, which is provided with a steam cock
at suitable distance, that steam genera
ted in the boiler finds an exit when wanted.

Bar India rubber is now mixed-by a
process peculiar to NJ. Chaffee, the inventor
with coal tar, and the compound makes
solid article which resembles polished
stone, is as black as coal, and requires no
finish, having of itself as hard ald exquisite
a polish as it is possible for any metal to
bear. 1t can be made into great variety
Of articles, one Of the most important Of
which is telegraph wire. This wire needs
no holes, as it is laid in the ground; it needs
no covering: trench Of a few inches is dug,
the wire is inclosed with the rubber, aud
no dampness can affect, nor storm render
it Imperative; no insect can sever it, and
no eorrosion ensue.

THE REAL IssUEs.-The following state
ment Of the present position Of parties we
find in late number Of the New Haven
Register, and whatever may have been the
issues in previous presidential conflicts, this
extract presents those Of the present can
vass in form as correct and lucid as il is
concise
There are practically but two parties
in the present contest = the democratic,
which is guided by the obligations Of the
constitutiOn-whichs seeks to render equal
and exact justice toall men which pro-
tects every man in the enjoyment Of bis re-
liCious opinions-which leaves to each
Slate the arrangements Of its own domestic
affairs-which endeavors to cement the
bonds of the Union, BY fraternal feeling
among the several States-and which would
make our country an asylum for the op-
pressed Of oil nations. The opponent Of
the democratic party are Of all creeds and
colors-and have two well defined charac-
teristics one Of which is the persecution
Of men for their religious belief-(a hide
Gus spirit) and the other, determination
to dictate to the people Of other sections Of
the country on the subject Of slavery, or
break up the J'aion. They are now urging
the people on to civil war in Kansas--
throwing obstacles in the way Of carrying
out the laws Of Congress-denouncing the
constitution as in the way Of their internal
schemes--and doing their best TO destroy
all fraternal harmony among the people Of
the different States. 1t will not take a
patriotic voter long to determine which
party he ought to support"
