MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-Quite late on Satur-
day night, as a stranger, named S. o. Bacon,
said to have come up the river only few
days SINCE was sitting on the head of bar.
rel in store in the lower part of the city
1--WE suppress the names] the clerk apparent
ly without any cause, seized large knife ly-
ing on the counter, and taking hold of Bacon,
plunged it into him. 1t entered between the
ribs, and passed quite through him inhict-
ing desperate cash. Bacon Immediately
fell, and was not heard to speak after the oc-
currence. One or two persons sitting in the
store went out to find an officer, but were
unable to see one and returned. Bacon was
lying just as he fell, but life was entirely ex-
tinct. No effort was made to arrest the
clerk, who is respectfully connected. The
doors were closed, and everybody went away.
The clerk did not attempt to escape, but
and close the door. 1t is not known wheth-
er he and deceased had had any quarrel, but
it is supposed he cherished some antipathy
against Bacon.
No inquest had been held, or the clerk ar
rested, as we were told up to yesterday noon.
We await the development of this strange
affair.
P. S.-Since the above was in type, we
have learned that the inoffending stranger
was only Side Of Bacon!

Pennsylvania Indebtedness.

AT recent election in Pennsylvania, sew
eral amendments to the State Constitution
were voted upon, and it is believed all were
adopted. Those amendments are as follows ::
l. That the State debt shall never exceed
$|oO,OOO, except in case of war, invasion or
lnsurrection, or for the purpose Of redeeming
the present debt.
2 A sinking fund shall be provided sufi-
cent to pay the interest on the existing State
debt, and to reduce the principal S250,OO0 a
year.
3. The credit of the Commonw shall
not in any manner be pledged or loaned, or
the Commonwealth become stockholder in
any corporation.
4. The Commonwealth shall not assume
the debt of any county, city, borough or
township, or any corporation, unless the same
was contracted by the State in time of war.
5. No county or municipal corporation
shall become stockholder In, or loan it's
credit to, any company or corporation what
ever.
We think that the last proposition would
be OF great value in this State.

A STRIKE AMONG BOAT CREws.-On Satur-
day morning, strike was got up among the
crews of the Itasca, Grey Eagle, Northern
Light, and Milwaukee, all of which boats
were at our Levee at once, for an increase OF
wages. They had been receiving $50 PER
month and all demanded $40. The boats
officers, after consultation refused, as the
boats are scarcely now making expenses
The crowd, numbering nearly $50 men, a
black, desperate, brutal looking horde tarred
around, expecting the boats would accede to
her demands, but they would not. The
Itasca went out soon after, the Captain and
officers actually showing their pluck by
shouldering the trunks Of passengers, and
carrying them in, hauling in cables and planks,
etc., and firing up.
We believe the other boats who went out
during the day followed this example. The
crowd of discharged hands remained about
the wharf during the day drinking, and some
fights occurred. Capt. Gooding arrested one
of the rioters, who was fined $40 and costs
at the Police Court.

THAT DEcREAsE.-Two or three persons
have taken us to task very mildly because
we asserted that rent had decreased. 1t is a
strange fact that both landlords and tenants
are trying to raise the rent. The latter have
the most trouble, however. But demand al
ways regulates terms, and while one decreas-
es, the ether becomes easier. There is no
disputing the fact that rent has been far above
a reasonable figure for long time, and like
everything else must decline in hard times
A gentleman said to us yesterday. II have
paid every year for my house in rent what
would almost have built it." 1t is because
We decried such state of things that we are
taken to task.

GAINS IN THE RIGHT DIREcr1oN-While
the Northern Democratic papers are placing
themselves with wonderful alacrity upon the
new platform, recognizing that blessed insti-
tution-Slavery-as national one, down to
old Virginia, brave and thoughtful men are,
even in the press, discussing the policy and
right Of that institution. The Rockingham,
Va, Register, one Of the oldest papers in that
State, makes open proclamation that it ''does
not believe slavery to be source of political
and moral good.' The Richmond JVhig saws
1.-THE fact that the Register, paper pablished
nearly in the heart Of the "Old Diminion'
should thus openly avow its apostacy to
5 'uthern Institutions, and subscribe to the
insi, dous and incendiary doctrines of Seward
and 7 layer, is swell calculated to startle the
minds OF Virginia Shareholders"

The party suffered considerable hardship but
