THREE WHITE RoBBERs DRowNED by
CHINEsE "A rumor, generally accredited,
has obtained in this vicinity, that three
abandoned white men who rob Chinamen for
living, were captured by the Johns last
week, whilst in the act Of committing anoth-
er outrage, at Clay's Bay, on the Mokelum-
ne. near Campo Seco, tied hand and foot and
thrown into the river. Tho Cinnamon had
been advised by some Americans that 10
case white men made robb'ng foray upon
their camp, they should feign humble sub.
mission to their demands, pretend to fork
over their packages with fear and tremb
ling; but as soon as they had thrown tho
robbers off their guard, by apparent cowar-
dice, to surround and overpower them by
numbers, then tie them to pole, and carry
them to Campo Seco. 1t is believed these
instructions have been relgiously observed
towards the three missing robbers, up to
the carrying process, which the Cinnamon
aver they repudated as "no goot," and for
which they say they adopted the more etfec-
tive substitute of dr0toHtHg, after the man
ner above described. The river ut this point
| is deep and runs with n strong current, 81
that if they were tied AMI thrown in, the
prescription is they have answered theii
crimes before a.highcr than mortal court. -

SIXTEENTH DIsrRIcr.-0ur opponents have, for weeks
past been exung the difficulty which attended the
election of democratic candidate for Congress in this
district We have all along felt easy in regard to this
difficulty because we knew the democracy of York. Perry
and Cumberland to be made Of the right kind of mate
rial and knew full well that however much they
might differ about men, they would never permit the
mongel opposition to triumph through their
nony Our expectations and predictions this subject
have been fully realized and happy to state that
the conferees have chosen able and reliable candidate
for the party in the person of John Fisher esq, OF
York county In the campaign of 1856 Mr. Fisher took
active part and speaker, both in his and
other counties did good service for Mr. Buchanan and the
democratic cause He will be sustained nobly by the
people of his district, and will make excellent repre-
sentative in the Congress OF the nation. --Aryas.

sion, have nominated John McReynols, esq., OF Coum-
ba, the democratic candidate for Congress Mr.. Nc

His popularity is undoubted and his selection the

IT. dc Editors N he Washington Union:
attended the late democratic State convention at
Syracuse delegate from this county, and took an
active part in its proceedings You have doubtless seen
an account of transactions and have read the resou
tons, and observed the in which disposed al
the various questions before There have been some
nsnuations in quarters that there was in the con-
venon feeling Ia favor of Douglas and that as between
him and the administration, the sympathy of the con-
venton with the former There 10 no truth In this
nsnuation large portion Of the convention was Conf
posed of men advanced in le and who had long done
service in the democratic ranks, and who had nothing
further TO desire than TO witness the triumph OF sound
principles The convention responded truly TO the feel
ngs OF the democracy of the State in pledgng their sup
port 10 the administration Of Mr. Buchanan. No reso-
luton having any tendency TO sustain Mr. Douglas in
the he pleased adopt last winter could have
been adopted had il been offered but none such of
red The convention intended that the campaign this
fall should be conducted State issues, and should have
nothing to do with the presidential aspirations of any
man in 1860 The ticket is strong one and will com
mand the united support of the party My opinion IL
that it will be elected.
The controversies in New York and Brooklyn are of
local character, and If not settled, will not njure
the State ticket. The various factions in those
cities will unite on the State ticket, whatever may DO
their with respect to their local nominations
The dspensation of the patronage of the general gov
in this State will always be attended with diff
cutes. 1t is almost unavoidable that the President
should make some mistakes Mr.. Buchanan has doubt
less made some but fewer than made by his prede
cessor and not than could be expected There is
very good feeling towards him in the party generally,
and his administration will be strongly supported We
SHALL think, return larger number of members OF
Congress than the democracy had in the last House
from this State.
IL is generally thought that convention will be called
to revise and amend the constitution Our convention
advised to that COURSE but the black republicans and
know -nothings silent on the subject There are
several points in regard to which the constitution has
failed to the public expectation There seems to
be general desire to have it submitted for revision to
another convention
