Remarkable Sight-Descent Of Bolt
-ti of Fire, js lfi

The N. Y. journal states that while
the New York and Worcester train, con-
Meeting with the steamer Commonwealth,
was passing Natick yesterday morning, a
ball Of lightning as large as the two fists
of man descended. ran along the tele-
graph wire, and exploded with report
as loud as cannon. The wire was con.
sumed, and the posts within space Of
half mile were shivered from top to bot
tom. The passengers on the train were
greatly alarmed, as the ball offre was all
the time IN sight, and the explosion
seemed as il beneath the cars. Had the
train been under the wire 1t must have
been struck.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF COLONEL BENTON
AND HENRY CLAY.-The N. Y. Post says:
& Colonel Thomas Hart Benton's uncle,
and from whom be was named, lived in
Lexington. Kentucky, Of which city he
was one of the founders, and was celebra.
ted for his benevolence and hospitality.
It was through marriage with his
daughter that Henry Clay became related
to Col. Benton.

Kansas in Congress.

The English amendment to the Kansas
bill is likely to pass both Houses Of Con-
gress and become law. Our advices
from Washington state that large por-
ton of the nti.Lecompton Democrats,
nearly half, will support it,-and as there
can be no doubt Of its receiving the Ad-
ministration votes, its final passage is
nearly certain. ...-..t
The precise character Of the scheme as
reported, is this the Senate proposed to
adopt the Lecompton Constitution. The
House refused, unless it was first submit
ted to a fair popular vote. Mr.. English
proposed to compromise the matter,-by
submitting it nominally to vote, but to
bribe the people of Kansas to vote for it.
This is precisely and Enthusiastically the
character of his proposition. An ordi,
nance is passed giving Kansas several
million acres Of the public lands. That
ordinance is submitted to their vote. If
they take the land, they are to be held as
having constructively approved the Le'
compton Constitution. II they reject the
land. they are to stay out of the Union
until they have hundred thousand pop
ulation. 4 ... ,......
Mr.. English expects to satisfy the
House by show Of submission to the
people, and the Senate by making that
submission unfair and unjust. He tempts
one side by using dice,' and the other by
showing them that they are loaded. 1t
is in every respect a treacherous and
flagitious proposition, = disgra ceful to Mr.
English as a man, and doubly disgrace
full to the country in whose name it is TO
be proposed. 1t is an open and shame
full attempt to bribe community to vote
against their known convictions and prin-
ciples. f. 'a' 'a" r.
Congress. there is little doubt, will in.
dorse the offer. The madness Of party
seems to have blinded public men to every
thought Of honor and to every considera-
ton Of common decency. ' i.'"' '' I'd
For the barren triumph Of carrying
through party measure, the majority o.
both Houses seem ready to surrender,
not only everything like political princi-
pie, but even that show ofpersonal homes
ty to which few men in any rank Of life
ever become wholly Indifferent. As mat
ters now stand, we are prepared to see
this scheme passed in both branches Of
Congress and receive the Presidents
signature. What reception il will meet
in Kansas remains 10 be seen.-N. Y

The Marshalship for Northern Ohio.
TheWashington correspondent the
New York Times in a letter Of the 18th,
says: u WY 4N{b faa eoatFhs W hal
There is some considerable excitement
and hard feelings among setlof' Ohio
politicians with regard to the Marshalship
Of the Northern District of Ohio. A Mr..
Gill has been here for long time, seeking
for the appointment, with great assuran-
ces; but after having been repeatedly put
off with vague promises it turns out that
the President now refuses 10 appoint him,
although he is recommended
by all.the rest ofthe Ohio delegation-he
is opposed by Burns. The friends Of
Mr.. Gill storm and rage, but the Presi-
dent will not disoblige Burns. who has
stuck fast to Lecompton, and even Pugh
cannot influence him to appoint man to
the place against Burns wishes. The
fact is suggestive and illustrative. The
faithful are to be rewarded by the consd-
GRAFTON their desires will receive by the
occupant OF the White House. ls Sdl .

The School Library Tax.

1t will be remembered that tho Repub-
lican Legislature. couple Of years since,
suspended this tax. And it will also be
remembered that the reason assigned for
so.doing was looked upon by large ma.
jority of the tax payers as being good
and sufficient one.
While it was acknowledged that the
object for which the tax had been levied
was a good one, it was shown conclusive
ly that the funds arising from the levy
had been squandered upon party favor
ties. who were permitted, under cover
of contract, to furnish the State with
the most miserable trash in the shape Of
books, for which they received just what
ever they saw proper to charge. By this
means the whole fund, amounting to
over one hundred thousand dollars, went
into the pockets Of political favorites, for
which the people received lot Of old
books that had been laying on the shelves
Of Derby 4 Co., Of Cincinnati, and 9TH
ers, for years-some Of them almos: worn

We observe that the Legislature which
adjourned few days since resuscitated

may not be treated to another batch OF

penditure OF this fund. 1t may be that
this move has been made for The benefit
ofsome broken down party hack who is
interested in the book business. We hope

EDITOR LEADER II wish, through your paper,
to correct false impression that has gained some
credence in the community, in regard to the object
of the working mems organization.
1t is believed by some that its object is the or
ganization of an entire new political party. This
is not the case. The PLAIN Dealer has become so
particularly sensitive about this time that it refuses
to publish anything for Us. We do not wish, nor
do we ask, any paper to endorse our views; neith-
er do we begrudge the PLAIN Dealer the independ-
imposition it may have acquired, through the aid
Of the party that has given it its support We
have right to ask all public journals to consider
the eTls of which we complain, and their causes,
vz:-The unequal distribution of the public lands,
and monopOlizing, unjust and oppressive none
tary system, serving only the interests of por-
tion of the community, while the laborers and
honest poor are left to pine in want, and perhaps
in the hour of dependency betake themselves to
crime, which illcOnsgn them to the gallows or to
drag out life of misery under the goading chains
of prison.
The primary object Of the Association is the es-
Enlistment Of more equitable system Of COM
merce-furnishing all articles of consumption to
the consumer at as near the actual cost of produc
tion as may be.
There are too many profits between the produc-
er and consumer, too many buyers and sellers 1t
has created such sea Of strife, among commercial
men that they have in many cases resorted to de-
ception, overreaching, fraud, adulteration and
chcanery, so that it is hardly safe for person to
buy an article, that he is not judge Of, lest he
might be taken in by some trickster
Il is for the correction of these evils that asso-
Citations Of the producing classes are being organ
lied in different portions Of our country.
Our operations must necessarily be slow. The
wants ofthe age demand new and scientific cur
rency ard a remodelling Of the whole of the pres
ent commercial system. And to this end we have
employed an able and efficient Lecturer, to travel
and to organize associations in different cities and
to teach the science of commerce. political econo-
my, and relating 10 the present and future happi
ness of the human race.
It is not denied but that we intend at some f1
ture day to exert an influence that shall have an i'm
portant bearing upon the political parties of the
country. We think the progressive destiny of the
race demands it, and 10 this end we solicit the aid
of the unselfish, the wise and most philauthropic
minds of all political parties, and of all religious
creeds to cooperate with US. Equitable stores
have been already started in some Of the Eastern
cities, and we have also one here. Mr. Thomas
Earl at IS Pittsburgh street, opposite Central Mar
ket has such store, where persons belonging TO
the Association, can get the article of -four at a
small advance above the cost. II is the intention
of the Executive Committee to have other places
of trade as soon as it may be practicable.
In behalf Of the Association.
