A DARK AND FATAL FRIDAY.

If VIC had ever been animated by a PARTISAN
feeling, we should now be rejoiced at the action
of the Congress of the United States in the
passage of the great fraud, consdmmated at
the city winch bears the honored name of
WASHINGTON, on the 30th day of April, 1858;
on Friday, the most ominous day of all the
week, according to superstition, still obeyed
even in the most intelligent circles.j This
wicked deed of profigatc politicians will stir
the moral sense Of the country to its pro-
foundest depths. 1t will awaken widespread
indignation. 1t will call out emotions which
have been stilled because such a deed was
believed to be impossible; and it will hurl
into utter obscurity aud shame those servants
of the people who have sought this opportu-
nifty to assist in betrayal, as wanton as it was
causeless and unnecessary. To see these men
gibbeted and transfxed before tire eyes OF the
world may be melancholy satisfaction; and
to this extent the black business of the black
est Friday that ever this century has seen may
be tull of compensation;
But we have no rejoicing over a common
shame. We have no words OF congratulations
at an event which inflicts disgrace Upon our
common country The more we deliberate
upon the record of the last fourteen mouths,
tho more do we feel that blow has beeu struck
the very heart of our ustitutions, from which
we may never recover.
We saw in this Kansas business; when it
assumed its new shape, hst autumn, the
seeds of fatal Generalization. Previous to
| that period it bore the aspect of eminent faif-
ness. Mr.. BUcBxNAN appeared to US, in all
| his early movements III regard to it, TO be in-
spired by Washingtoniau patriotism. 1t had
been difficult problem to others; to him it
was as clear as a sunbeam, He felt SO HIM
self up TO the moment when he supposed he
could change his course, and be sustained by
tire country. Plat was the weight which pulled
| him down. Thc whole nation stood appalled,
at the transformation His very office-holders

Of more than ten thousand of the qualified

as to have not only lost our ccnfaeHce, but

ResotUsd That our recent State Legislature

sion 1t refused to abolish the Canal board

administration and the party which elected II
responsible to the voters and taxpayers OF tue
State.
Resolved That having heard that Somerset
county has appointed Gen. VIM. FL. Koontz

concur in said appointment.

lFor the Bedford Inquire, j
Mr.. OVER,



Please allow me, through yonr excellent
Inquirer, to return my sincere thanks to my
friends, for the expressions of their regard they
have lately presented to me in substantial
way.
On tie Dad of last February and my fami-
ly were made very happy, on returning home
after temporary absence, in finding our dining
room table loaded with number of valuable
aud well thought of articles for the body, the
bed and the table, as a donation from our
female friends in Schellsburg.
And on the 22d inst, was most happily sur
prsed in finding handsome new carriage,
quite suitable for me and my little family, at
my door, in the place Of my old buggy, and my
horse dressed in new set Of elegant silvc
mounted harness, all presented in the name of
few friends in and about Bedford, Scheilsburg
and Dry Ridge.
These presents are highly valuable, not mere
ly on account of their intrinsic value, but also
rs an expression of the kind regards of our
friends; and r1ay the Lord be with them all
for good. Ii. HECKERMAN.

THE NATIONAL HOTEL MYsTERY.--ft is
said by one Of the sufferers that no less than
q persons have died BY the Washington, Hotel
mystery of last year. The gentleman referred
| to-; according to the Journal Of Commerce,
calcrlates that, out cf total Of three hundred
sufferers, at least one half are ina state Of
decrepitude no better than his own. In spite
of all the theories which have been advanced
by medical men and sanitary committees. he
adheres to the belief that the fatal epidemic,
as it was called, was occasioned by nothing
else than malignant mineral poison; aid the
same opinion is held by other sufferers with
whom he has conversed. Up to a recent period
be was trea.ed by physcian of this neighbor-
hood as for malarious or atmospheric poison,
with no perceptible benefit, but upon the physi-
can and treatment being changed, substituted
an antidote to arsenic, favorable symtoms
became at once apparent, and he is now able
to leave his apartment.
"Whaierer was the origin of the disease,
il is very difficult to satisfactorily account for
all the phenomena attending it, especially the
slow, deadly manner in which it preys upon
the system, year after year, until the vital
system is DESTROYED and the strong man
prematurely cut off, unless the agency of u
malignant mineral poison is admitted.'
RACE BETWEEN Horse AND Loco
MOTIVE 4 novel race took place at St.
Thomas, on Tuesday last, between blooded
race hotsc and locomotive. The horse is
decided to be very fast nag, and so is the
locomotive, and both were well trained to the
track. The arrangements between the betting
parties were, that the horse should be at his
starting place when the locomotive come up
even, anG the word ssgo" should be given,
when away they went under whip and stoam;
i Tie judges declared the horse viuner by one
/. half length. The bet vas $50 side, and the
distance eighty rods. This bears on the
question that the horse is faster than steam
