OF Herbert, the murderer of Heating, is in
a sad dilemma. He don't want to resign his
seat, and the Californians are prepared to lay
before Congress the following memorial, nu-
merously signed:
To the Honorable House of Representatives
of the United States Congress:
Your petitioners, citizens of California, be-
lieving that an appeal to Hon. ?. I. Herbert,
one of our representatives in Congress, to re-
sign his seat in your honorable body, would
be of no avail, and believing that all power is
rightly vested with the people to determine
who shall and who shall not be their rulers
and representatives and feeling confident that
our wishes will not be overlooked in the de-
liberations of your honorable body, do most
respectfully represent to your honorable body:
That, Whereas one of our honorable represen
tatives has seen proper to step from his high
position as representative of the State Of Cali
fornia, and has suffered himself to be engaged
in an afray rejecting so unhappily upon the
honor and character of your honorable body;
and believing that, in the murder of the unfor-
tunate Keating he has committed an act en-
tirely without justification, disgraced his high
position. and that he can no longer faithfully
or satisfactorily represent the will of his con-
stituents in your honorable body; and, mas
much as it seems possible from the sentiment
in Washington, either that he may be acquit-
ted, or not receive the punishment which i'm
partial justice demands; therefore,
We, the citizens of California, forward this
memorial to your honorable body, and do
hereby most respectfully petition your honor
able body, in case of the acquittal of the said
Hon. P. T. Herbert from the crime charged
against him, that you would no longer permit
him to remain member of your honorable
body.

HALF OF A VILLAGE DEsTRoYED.--The vii.
lage of Perry Wyoming county, N. Z. (of Sill
yer Lake Snake notoriety,) was visited by a
most severe conhagration on Friday. by which
more than half the business portion of the
town was laid in ruins. The pos.-ofice, the
Wyoming Times Office, the Methodist church
and Odd Fellows Hall are among the build
ings destroyed. The building of Smiths Bank
of Perry was destroyed, but its books and val
uables saved.

Escane of a Horse Thief

Yeager, alias Hunter alias James, who was
arrested Oh last Saturday by Marshal Evans,
for horse stealing, escaped from custody on
last Sunday morning between one and three
O'Clock.
Esquire Mills, the justice before whom Yea
ger was first brought, doubling his authority
to commit man to Jail, for an offence COM
mitted beyond his jurisdiction, altogether his
guilt was established beyond doubt, refused
to send him to Jail for safe keeping. He was
therefore placed in room, in the third story
of the Washington Hotel to remain over night,
in charge of the owner of the house, the dep
uty sheriff of Pike county and two other per-
sons. Handouts were placed on his wrists,
and the prisoner was considered secure. Du-
ring the night the prisoner ''in quiet sort ol
a way'' let himself out of the window of his
room down to the pavement on Third street.
by means of two sheets and a quilt tied to-
gether. So quiet were his movements that
his keepers slept undisturbed. After landing
on Terra firma it is supposed that he donned
the habiiment which he had thrown down be-
fore his descent, proceeded to the room of his
boarding house where there were also four
persons sleeping, carried his trunk into the
yard rifed it of its valuables then went to a
tailor shop where he had some clothes &c. and
them shook the dust of Evansville from his
feet. 1t is supposed that he had friends in
waiting below when he let himself OUT o.
the window who assisted him in beino reliev.
ed of Lis shambles.

Fillmore Rally at Terre Haute.

The friends of Fillmore have been invited
to be at Terre Haute tomorrow, the 8th, at
which place there will be helda Fillmore Con-
vention. The Americans of almost every Sec
ton of the State will be represented on this
occasion, and we trust the Americans of Ev-

of Fillmore in Terre Haute are busy making
preparations for large crowd, and will extend
their hospitalities freely to all who attend the
Convention.

The CANvAss.-As the weather grows
cooler, the political canvass wakes hotter, and
men are busy, working for themselves or their
friends. As the time narrows down toward
the election, the crowds on street corners are
more excitable; the street politicians talk loud
er and faster, and bets of divers and sundry
articles are consummated. Our good people
are always ready to stand up to their political
views, and though the dispute may be wordy
and long, we don't allow our political quarrels
to interrupt social and friendly relations
There is prodigious expenditure of breath,
prodigal waste of fargument-good, bad and
indifferent, an intense anxiety to know the
result, but that is all. The election over, and
Evansville will settle down in it's old ways,
and our people will resume their business as
though the election had never been. But un-
til that time, go where you will, you will find
knots OF men in noisy discussion. You can't
stop them. Every man las up steam, and if
it is not upon the Slavery question, it is upon
some other equally exciting topic. Each one
knows how every State in the Union will cast
its vote, and each one has down majority for
his own candidate. The Republicans are GER
tain that Fremont will carry New York; the
BUCCANEERS are positive that the Empire State
will 90 for their man, while Americans knoU
that Fillmore will beat both the other candi-
dates After the election, the Fremonters and
Democrats will look back and see how wofully
they were mistaken, while Fillmore men will
have the satisfaction of saying I'VE told you
so p

"CAN MOTHER FORGET HER SoN?''-The
accounts from every part of the State of New
York are most encouraging to the Fillmore
men. New York has always been ready to
do honor to her iavorite son, and we cannot
doubt but that she will cast her thirty-two
electoral votes for MiLlard Fillmore. The tri-
umphal march Of Mr.. Fillmore through New
York, on his return home, was an evidence of
his popularity not to be mistaken. 1t was not
the arranged and formal reception politicians
working for spoils, but an expression ofpublic
opinion; the people of New York turning out
to do honor to their fellow citizen. The flood
of Abolition documents poured upon New
York, and the expiring exertions of Office
holders who are to be turned out next March
will not be able to give the State either to
Fremont or Buchanan. A mother cannot for
get her son. New York will not desert the
man who of all others is her first choice for
the Presidency.

THE CLERKS AT WASHINGTON TAxED.-A
special correspondent of the New York Tri-

inst, says that the Clerks in the Treasury
Department were notified on receiving their
monthly pay for services in September, that

per cent. on their salaries, to be used for cleo
tioneering purposes in the State Of Pennsyl-
vania. All who refused to pay were required
to state the fact under their own signatures

OF The London Globe announces that
there are no less than 40 sets of chambers now
to let in the Inner Temple and 33 in the Mid

are about one-ffth of what they were ten years
ago. The calls to the bar have fallen off to a
mere nothing, compared with what they were
formerly. Whereas the Middle Temple used
to call a few years ago from 120 to l25 or 13O
a year, 20 is now about the average, and even
this number shows symptoms of disease.
