A PRIEST HUNG IN ITALY.-0ur readers will re-
member that in our issue Of March goth we pub
ished correspondence from Piacenza, Italy, in
cluding the narrative Of the numerous and awful
crimes of a Roman Catholic curate, by the name o
Gregory Franchi. This monster in human shape
had been sentenced to death, guilty of having de-
iberately shot peaceful and honest young man
for having married his niece, who, with another
sister, had been previously seduced by the Rever-
end scoundrel. Since sentence of death had been
pronounced by the High Criminal Court the fend-
ish priest attempted to strangle the turnkey, in
order to make sure his escape.
We are now informed by our correspondent
from Piacenza, that the Bishop of that city, with
all the clergy, tried to obtain communication Of
punishment; thus annulling the legal proceedings
of the civil tribunals, and instituiing the Pspal
theory that there ought to be two penalties in the
world, widely differing one from the other, viz
one severe, and the other lenient; tho former to
be applied to laymen, and the latter to the priest
hood!
But the clerical attempt failed, and Priest Greg
ory Franchi was hung at Piacenza on the 9Th ult
Had there been a concordat between Rome
and the Government of Piacenza, or had that city
been blessed with canon laws, the clerical criminal
would have escaped the gallows--Nsw York Crn-

WESTERN IMMIGRATION. The rush westward is
without precedent in the history of the country
For the past three weeks the arrivals over each of
the Michigan roads, the Central and Southern,
have been not less than fifteen hundred, and often
they have averaged two thousand daily OF these
it is estimated that fully twoithrds are emigrants
seeking homes in the West, and of the two-thirds,
ninetentbs are Americans by birth, mostly from
New York and New England. Only few days
since, and we mention the fact to show the char
acter and extent of the movement one hundred
and forty persons, from one neighborhood in
Maine passed through In company on their way to
Iowa. This was but the aoant guard of more to
come.
According to the best estimates we have been
able to make, the West, that is to say, the States
of Illinois Iowa, and Wisconsin, and the Terrific.
ries Of Minnesota and Kansas are receiving now
1000 new inhabitants every day over the Great
Eastern Roads alone This estimate does not in
clude the emigration from Indiana and Ohio, by
the roads traversing the State laterally, nor the
emigration arriving by the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee, which, by the way, is larger
than ever before. We are safe in saying that the
increase from all quarters is not less than four
thousand souls day, and the tide is not yet at ts
height Chicago Tribune.

into the political antocedents Of some Of the
present Cabinet--into the antecedents Of some
Of the appointees In this District--and into the
antecndents Of some of those sent abroad on
foreign missions Now we do not hesitate to
say, that for every sound, national Baltimore
platform Democrat who has received office, at
the hands Of Forney and Pierce, north Of Ma
son and DiSon's line, there have been ten Buff
falo-platform men appointed to Office in that
section of the country. We say, that the pledge
made by the Washington Union in 1852 to
the " Free-soH Democratic LEADERS," as above
quoted, has been moro than realized by them
that Free-soilism is predominant in the Cab-
net--predominant in the New York custom
house-predomina throughout the Federal
offices in the North and West--and predom-
naat in the Democratic party everywhere but
at the South General Pierce means to carry
out the principles of his famous New Hamp-
shire resolutions Of lS47 and he counts upon
the gullibility of the South to grant him new
lease of power that he may accomplish his pur-
poses.
Should the South, under the lead of Cover
nor Wise, sustain Forney and Pierce, ard the
Free-soil Democratic leaders Of the North" ad-
here to him, (and there is no reason why they
should not, as they would be,alow d to retain
their positions,) then, with the aid of Bishop
Hughes and his adherents throughout the coun-
try, and with platform to suit both sections,
to-wit: Kansas Nebraska and slarery erten-
sion for the South, and Nebraska Kansas
and no more slare States" at the North, we
are compelled to warn the American party .
that they have dangerous antagonist--that
they must buckle on their armor burnish their
weapons, and rally, to man, in defence OF
their nominations and their principles, or For
eignism, Romanism, and Demagoguism, will
triumph over us.

Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Dean.
message was received from the Senate, an
nouncing that that body had disagreed to the
amendments of the House to the amendments Of
the Senate to the bill amendatory of the Bounty
Land law--whereupon
On motion Of Mr.. g. w. JONES, the House in
sisted upon its amendments, and agreed to the ap-
pointment of Committee of Conference.
Mr.. HAVEN moved suspension of the rules to
enable him to submit q motion to discharge the
Committee of the Whole from the further conside-
ration of the bill of the Senate asking sppropn
alton Of f45,000 for deepening the channel over
the St Clair Flats, in the State of Michigan.
The yeas and nays were taken on the motion,
and resulted in it's adoption.
The bill was then read twice.
Mr.. HAVEN stated that this bill made an APP
preparation for deepening the chsnn,l at point
where commerce Of over $3.50, 600, 600 passes In
. single year. In consequences of the shallowness
Of the water vessels were detained sometimes a
week or q fortnight. He moved the previous ques-
ton its passags, but Withdrew 1t at the request
Of Mr.. McMULLEN.
Mr.. ALBRIGHT renewed the motion for the pre-
vious question, and refused to withdraw 1t at the
request Of Mr.. NcMULLEN.
(This bill passed last session by largo majority,
but owing to some misspprehcntion failed to re.
ceivc the signature Of the President.)
The motion for tho previous question was sus-
tanned, and the main question was ordered--ayes
los, noes 20.
SO the bill passed.
The further consideration Of the steamboat bin
was postponed til tomorrow.

SOUTHERN SEsrIMEsT-The Augusta (Ga. Con-
sttutionast thus expresses its opinion of the New
York Hards:
The difficulty is that the Hards" Of New York
insist that all the rotenness is in the ranks of the
/" Softs" and allege that as the reason why they
will not affiliate with them. They exclaim to the
+" Softs" like the Pharisees of old, "Stand aside,
/ am holier than thou" This assumption of supe-
rior sanctty is supremely offensive to the Softs
who number in their ranks men Of as noble talents,
as lofty integrity, a. pure patriotism, loyal de-
votion to Constitutional and Democratic principles,
as firm adherence to the rights OF all the States,
and of every section, as the best and purest and
soundest among the IIards." They know, too,
that to no small extent these professions Of supe-
rior soundness are hollow and insincere, and that
personal rivalri6s and hatreds and dsappointments
are the secret springs of this antagonism.
The Consttutionalist concludes long article on
this subject, with the advice that both the Hard
and Soft delegations from New York be rejected by
the Cincinnati Convention. This, 1t seems to us,
would be like performing the play of Hamlet, with
the part of Hamlet omitted by particular re-
quest II New York is to be ostracised at Gin.
cinnah what> stomach will the New York De
mocracy have for the fight which is to come of in
November
Our own opinion Is, that the Soft delegation viii
be admitted from New York, and the Atchison
delegation from Missouri. At least we infer this
from the conversation of leading Democrats from
all sections Of the Union.

now engaged in active service on the North Paci.

that in their opinion, the Board of Inquiry COM
mitted an egregous error in placing their esteemed
commander, Isaac s. Sterrett, upon the "furlough
list" that they, who have sailed under various
commanders. consider Commander Sterrett among
the most able akilful, and efficient seamen now in
the navy, and that they petition the honorable
Secretary Of the Navy for his reinstatement in the
service. The resolves we're signed by the entire

Tue THousLS IN KAssAs--6Aootsrg Of Sheriff
Jorss.--Ths fact has already been mentioned that
Sheriff Jones bad been shot at Lawrence, Kansas
Territory. A letter from that plsce dated April
"a, evidently written by free State man, says:
On Saturday and Sunday last he made two un-
successful attempts TO arrest 8. N. Wood and 9th
era, for some old offences for which he has held
Warrants for several months, and never sought TO
enforce. Our people were unwilling to recognise
him or hts auth, rty. He had small posse with
him from Lecompt0n each time, but he took away
none OF our men under such circumstances He
seemed greatly exasperated, and swore he would
have them at any cost of life or money. He made
Lecompton his headquarters, where Shannon, Oil
ver, Whitfield, Stingfellow and others, were in
council, directing all his moyements and intending
TO get up some foray just the verge Of the exam
nation by the Washington Committee to prejudice
them against the squatters of the Territory. Shan
non sent to Leayenworh for troops to assist Jones
IN making his arrests and about four O'Clock in the
afternoon yesterday he rode into the town at the
head Of ten or twelve dragons, fully armed
Wood, and those he came more particularly to ar
rest, were not in town, and were advised to leave
TO prevent and avoid difficulty at that time. But
they soon found Twelve others, whom they arrest
ed and marched through the streets under charge
Of United States Dragons, like culprits.
Many OF our people were very indignant at this !;
still they were all arrested and taken to the room
prepared for them without the least resistance and
even one United States officer, with such instruc-
tons as they have, could have accomplished the
same, for we will never resist the authority and
arms OF the United States. As night came on,
however, feared there would be further disturb
ance, still We expected nothing more serious than
abusing Jones, or something Of the kind. But,
unfortunately for us, some desperate, whose i'm
pulses were beyond control, shot Jones as he was
sitting in tent occupied by the dragons, but no
trace can be found, or any evidence to fix the guilt
upon any particular person. Our citizens all de-
precate the act very much, and will use every
means TO bring the assassin to justice The lieu
tenant in command has sent to Leavenworth for
larger force, but we apprehend no further demon
stration. Jones is alive this morning, but is con-
sidered very dangerously wounded. The ball en-
tered between the shoulder blades, near his neck,
and probably injured the spine.
Jones has since died.
