From Washington-The Election Riots.
Arrival of Surveyor General Burr. of
Yf,h

arrival OF surveyor General Burr of
Utah
WAsHINGroN, June s.-Many of the mos.
respectable citizens of Washington have sign
ed call for public meeting, on THURSDAY
afternoon next, to condemn the late riots ard
sustain the course of the President aud CITY
Authorities in employing military force to
quell the disturbances
David III. Burr, Surveyor General of Utah
has arrived home in this city
Mr.. Burr states, in conversation with his
friends, that the Mormon Legion is but poor
ly equipped and that thousand United States
troops would efectualy overawe them Be
fore he left Utah, the Mormons had not heard
of the intention of the Government to send
force thitber, but they frequently laughed a.
the idea of the Government compelling their
obedience to the Federal Laws-they citing
the failure to put down the disturbances in
Kansas, as evidence of its inefhciency.
He supposcs that one third or one half Of
the Mornons, who are disgusted with Brig
ham Young's tyranny, would rise against him
were they protected by United States troops
Mr., Burr does not apprehend that the Nor
mons Will show fight. 1t is the duty of ev-
cry good Mormon to obey the Church as the
higher law, and hence an opinion is entertain
ed thas Young may leave the Territory with
large force of his deluded followers provi-
ded he can find some other seat for his gov
ernment.
Mr.. Burr says that Salt Lake is the mean
est settlement he ever beheld, everything hav-
ing the appearance of atject poverty. Brig
ham Youngs word is law. aud the oppression
of the Mornons is cruel and without remedy
from the present rulers. There are about If
ty gentiles only in the Territory. who are OBJ
jects of bitter persecution.
According to the statement of Captain Ty-
Ter, who commanded one of the companies of
the Marines at the riot on last Monday he
gave the order ''after the capture of the swiv-
cl from the rioterss' to fire the discharges
being from one platoon only, and irregularly
and each of the marines firing as they the
flashes from the pistols discharged at them BY
the riotera who fred as they retreated.
The company commanded by Capt Mad
dox-according to the same authority-did
not fire until a marine had been wounded in
the cheek. by ball, coming out at his
mouth.
It is confidently asserted that several of the
- Plug Ugles'' have recently died. while
others in Baltimore are suffering from severe
wounds. Judge Hollingshead. who is of the
American party, has refused an application
for warrant to arrest Mayor Magruder. The
ground of the application was that he had
given orders to fire.
The Secretary "f the Navy had not decided
whether any of the five steam sloops- of-waI
shall be built by private contract.

Main Line Injunction.

The announcement made by some of our
papers, that an effort had been made to pre-
vent, by an application to the Supreme Court
for an injunction the sacrifice of the Puplic
Works of the State was only a few days in
advance of the fact We rejoice now to learn,
that the Board of Canal Commissioners has
taken the preliminary steps to test this mat
ter, and to discover whether at law there may
not be some remedy against this grievous
wrong to the State and to the individual cit
liens. While We are fully aware of all the
difficulties attending an application of this
kind, and that however unjust and unrighteous
the action of the Legislature may be, yet the
power Of the Courts of law can only intervene
to cure the wrong, where the enacting power
has violated the constitution, or exceeded its
egal powers, but we desire that not one shad
ow of of hope shall be abandoned, or even
chance Of success thrown away, until hope
and chance are entirely cut off from us. We
have the assurance of good and competent con-
stitutional lawyers, that this action of the Le
gislature is obnoxious to constitutional excep-
ton, and we have an abiding faith, that this
grieYous wrong has not been perpetrated be-
yond the hope of relief and redress We
feel satisfied from the professional character
and high legal attainments of the gentlemen
retained, that the application would never
have been made without there was strong rea-
sons upon which to base it, and also that no
effort will be left untried to accomplish the
object they have undertaken. 1t will be OBJ
served from the order of the Court, which We
take from yesterdays Ayyus, that next Fri
day is the day fixed for the argument.

Destructive Storm.

\ most violent and destructive storm pas
scd over our town on Monday night. The
rain fell in torrents, accompanied with almost
incessant thunder and lightning The light
ming struck the dwelling house Of Gen. Jo-
seph Mcdonald and did considerable dam
age. The electric fluid passed into the
room in the immediate vicinity of bed in
which servant girl was sleeping. The es-
cape of Gen. McDonald's family without in
jury was almost miraculous.
The storm was much more severe in Johns
town than in this locality. In another col
umn will be found the extent of the damage
done in that region.
We learn that in the Northern part of the
county good dea! of damage was done. The
waters of the Susquehanna and Clearfield
were swollen to great height; and swept
away several bridges, as well as doing serious
injury to many saw mill dams. On the hill
sides throughout the county great portion OF
the corn has been completely washed out,
and will require replanting. Our county has
not been visited with such destructive storm
for many years. Before it occurred, the
weather was cold and disagreeable; vegetation
as well as the crops were at a stand still
since the storm, the weather has become
warm and gives promise of a most abundant
crop Of grain potatoes, and especially fruit
