Political Prospects in Pennsyl
Vania.

Oaly about three weeks remain until the
citizens of Pennsylvania will be called
upon to select four gentlemen to fllexalted
and important positions in the several
departments Of State government. And
although we are so close upon the elect on
day, there is yet but little feeling and no
excitement. TO a calm and impartial
observer of the political heavens, these
signs are ominous. Last Fall the whole
American people were agitased, ard no
day passed without mass meetings, stump
-eloquence, and noisy demonstrations -
Questions in which tho people felt deep
interest--or emagined they did--were fully
discussed, times without number, in all
manner of ways, and ell emagionable
places. Newspapers teemed with argu-
,nents, sophistry, satire, ridicule and nom
sense. Appeals were then made to the
hearts and consciences, the pockets and the
policy Of all. The principles for which
each party commended were shouted and
.sung, itersted and reiterated, until the hills
echoed and the air groaned with them.-
They were printed and painted, so that all
who could hear, see, feel, or smell, under
stood the issue in all their varied forms.
After all this, they walked up TO the
.battot box, and in their solemn majesty
made bold and emphatic declaration of
the principles by which they wished to be
3 governed. Their verdict was recorded
and to it there is no exception or appeal,
and no new wtrial can be granted, for no
sufficient reasons can be given. To ask
it, is to impeach the honesty or the judg-
-ment of the great jury. So the case now
stands. No new issue hes been raised, and
the people having definitely settled oil the
.oH ones, see no occasion for agitating
'themselves. The Democrats are sanguine
andthe Republicans hopeless, and hence
we marchson to the, election day without 1
rufle to disturb the quiet content of the
masses.
1t is true, llittlo spasmodic emotior
nay be seen in few localities. But thi!
is otly the contortions and writings o
Rcpubleanism's death struggle. Wilmo
is on bis pilgrimage recitiug his stereotypet
defamation abot his proviso, and his far
fetched joke about eIr national coin. Blu
he canes aud goes, unnoticed, unheeded
ike pei ble thrown in smooth sea, hi

soon all is calm again, and no trace is lef
ito mark where he has been.
Hazlehurst is running a close ccntes
with Wilmot, with fair prospect ofmakiDl
1t neck and neck with him. For the las
few weeks Americanisn has been struggling
up through the rubbish with which Repub
licanism had covered it; it comes froI
its grave with the damp smell upon ii
garments, and enters boldly into the struggl
with the party to which in was lately unite
by near and tender ties. 1t is famil
quarrel, and We say let them fight it ou
All Candid men concede the certainty {

the only question is, which is to be ii

MALIaNANT MURRAIN.-In 1745 a most
malignant disease prevailed among cattle on
the continent Of Europe. and was introduced
into England by imported cattle from Holland.
1t was very fatal, and in the second year after
its introduction over 10000 cattle died in
Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire and al
most as many more in Cheshire. During the
third year remuneration was given by the
government, who had ordered the destruction
of diseased cattle, for no fewer than $4,000
head, while twice as many more, according to
the report Of one of the commissioners, died
of the malady. in the fourth year it was
equally fatal, nor does it appear to have com
pletely disappeared till eight years after.
A similar disease is now raging among cat
tie in the central portions Of Europe-Poland
and Eastern Prussia, and it has reached
Konegsberg, where one proprietor lost 3O(
head in one night. Strong apprehensions art
felt that 1t will continue to spread West, and
again invade England; it is recommended thai
the government prohibit the importation o.
cattle as precautionary measure. And il
might be well for our government to adopt
some provisions of safety, should it extend tt
England.

A NOBLE DEED.-The Terre Haute Ex-
press of Saturday says: Yesterday afternoon
as the train on the Evansville and Crawlords-
willie Railroad, was starting and had got un-
der considerable headway, a child was discov-
.ered on the track, only short distance ahead
of the locomotive. The engineer immediate
ly gave the signal and reversed his engine
, The firemen, Mr.. Charles Miller, seeing thai
the train could not be stopped in time
sprang through the lookout, or the window
of the engine, ran along, until he came to tht
forward end, jumped off, and snatched the
child fromthe track, just in time to save i
from being crushed, as the locomotive wa.
within fve feet Of him when he saved tn,
child.
The deed manifested true bravery, and con
vinced those that witnessed it, that Charle]
Miller, possesses kind heart Nav he new
'er be called upon again to act his part in
deed of this nature-one that displayed tru
heroism.

cinnati that what is known as the ''hog chol-

manufacture of whisky, upon the slops from

as his opinion that there was strychnine

being the case is it surprising that so many
men die in these days with delirum tremens?
