FRoM HARRIsBrRG We have nothing definite
In regard to the proposed annhilation of this
judicial District. The Judiciary Committees
Of both Houses met last week, to hear those
interested on either side, but the result we
have not learned. The Harrisburg Telegraph
Of the 18th, says that the Senate Committee
will report the bill with negative rccommen-
dation, while the House Committee is un1ni-
m0usly opposed. We cannot, of course, vouch
for the reliability of this statement We shall
next week, probably, be able to give some de-
finite informlt;on as to the prospect Of this
outrage being accomplished.
We publish, in another part Of this paper
an article from the Philadelphia Gazette, a
conserva tive commercial paper of Philadelphia,
and also an article from the Columbia Demo-
crat, radical Democratic paper in regard 10
this matter. They are interesting as showing
how the attempt is viewed from different stand
points.

MUsIcAL CONVENTION. The Musical Con
vention at Troy, commencing on Tuesday week,
under direction of Geo F. RooT was highly
successful, being attended by large number
of singers. and passing of to the great salts
faction and enjoyment of all participating.
During the Concert, which was we'll attend
ed, Mr. TowSER of Rome, brought down
the house by introducing, as one verse of a
song he was singing, an alusion to the late
affray in Congress The audience enjoyed
the allusion, and manifested their appreciation
Of Mr. Grows performance and pluck, by
spontaneous and unanimous applause.
Still another Convention is advertised to
commence on Tuesday, 30th inst. at LcIays-
vile, to be under the direction of Prof G. B.
LOOMS who once conducted Convention at
this place, to the entire satisfac ton of those
present. We have no doubt il will prove one
of the most successful of the season. The
eastern part of the County is noted for the
amount and excellence of the musical talent
it contains, aud the pleasant village Of Le-
Raysville is central and convenient point for
holding such meeting.

Orr WITH HIS HEAD-The Hon. maxwell
M'CAsIIN. Of Greene county, formerly Speak
er Of the Senate but within the last two wears
Indian Agent, at Prairie du Chen, has been
removed from that post, and Gen. SETH Go
YER, formerly Canal Commissioner of this State
has been appointed in his stead
Mr. MCAsLIy had the courage, some two
weeks ago to write a letter to one of the
members Of the House Of Representatives, from
his county, apprisng him of the state Of af-
fairs in that unfortunate Territory, aud warn
ing the Democratic party not to admit Kan
under the Lecompton Constitution that civil
war would be inevitable, and that the Demo,
cratic party would be destroyed. For this
audacity, the General had to be removed. 1t
is dangerous for Office holders or Office seekers

Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1858-03-18

sS~ The following article is taken from the
Columbia Democrat, published at Bloomsbury.
We published last week, an article from the
Star Of the North, protesting against ths
measure 80 that the Democratic papers of
that County have now both deprecated this out
rage:
while the Senior Editor was on his way
to Harris burg he sent to the paper, the above
extract from some Harrisburg letter writer ::
and in his absence, We take the responsible
ty of reporting it to the people, and to all
whom it may concern, with negative recon-
mendatioh.
First-We deny that the Legislature has
any power, under the Constitution, to alter
or abolish Judicial District, other than hy
creating a new one, in which the people shall
have the right to elect their Judge A county
annexed to this District is deprived of its
Constitutional rights, by Legislature enaciment
1t is the exercise of a very doubtful power.
If District is abolished, then in the diff
ferent districts to which the disjected members
of the old are joined, they have Constitution
al right in their new relation to a voice in the
election of Judge but the most insane and
vindictive exercise of power would not go the
point of saying, that Judge could be remov-
ed, in order 10 let the people of district thus
formed, into an election and if not, then
most certainly portion of that District has
been deprived OF its rights under the Constitu-
ton.
Besides it is most unwse and perncious
thing for the Legislature by its continual tink-
ering with the Judiciary of the Commonwealth !;
to render the whole course of the administra-
ton Of the law, and the chief executive officers
thereof, dependent upon and at the mercy
of changing Legislature legislature, blind
ed perhaps by passion, untitled Oy prejudice,
unable throughout ignorance, to act properly
on the subject
With Judge Wilmot we have no sympathy ;
! but we protets against so fragrant q violation
of vested constitutional rights. We protest
against so impolitic course by the majority Of
the Legislature. Such an act ought to be
beneath the dignity Of the great democratic
party. What if Wilmot has not met the just
expectations of his former friends he is now
dead cock in the pit-there let him rest You
seek to break butterfly upon a wheel-you
load cannon to kill pce.wee
Don't do anything so very ridiculous, so i'm
politc, So outrageous, so UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
p. S. Since the above was in type, We
have received letter from the Senior Editor
in Harrisburg. reiterating his views, ia orahle
to the abolition of the 18th Judicial District
We think it due to him to state so much, and
due to ourself to say that we take the respon-
sibility of the opinion above expressed We
do not wish to make martyr of David Viii
mot we desire not to emharrass the party in
the State, and we believe such action would
have that effect

FOREIGN NEw3-Llte arrivals bring one
weeks later adyices from Europe. The news
is of great interest and Importance The de-
bate in the British Parliament on the Conspira-
cy Bill, resulted in the defeat of the Ministry
The majority of the opposition was only l9,
but it appears to have been sufficiently large,
and sufficiently indicative Of public sentiment
throughout the country, to compel Lord Pal
merston and his colleagues to resign This
they accordingly did, and Lord Derby, the
leader Of the Conservative opposition was Of
fered and accepted the Premiership, Parlia-
ment had adjourned to the lst Of March. -
From France We learn that the four cOnSpira-
tors, Perri, Rudio, Orsni and Gomez had
been tried and convicted of an attempt to as
sassinate the emperor. Orsini, Rudi0 and
Pierr were sentenced to death, and Gomez to
peual servitude for life. A large number Of
arrests had been made in Paris. A bill rela
tive TO the attempts against the lives Of foreign
sovereigns had passed the Belgian Chamber.
Later advices had been received in England
from India and China. The news from India
is unimportant, thought tends to confirm pre-.
vious report that the country is being gradu-
ally lran9uzel From China we learn that
Canton was completely occupied by the Anglo
French forces on the Goth of December Yeh
and the commander Of the Tartar troops had
been taken prisoners.

quarters recently that Senator DoUGLAs in

emphatcally denied by Mr.. DOUGLAS himself,

SPEAKING RIGHT OUT.-That staunch old
Democratic paper, the Chester County Rcpu5-
lean, which has fought many a gallant battle
under the Locofoco flag and gone, in by gone
days, as far as any that ever bowed the preg-
nant hinges of the knee to the dark spirit of

minions have been the instruments of robbng
the people of Kansas of their rights kept un-

LETTER FROM GENERAL SHIELps.-The St.
Paul Times, Of the 25th ult., contains letter
written from Washington, by Gen. Shields,
elected T. s. Senator under the new State
Constitution of Minnesota, to Hon. r G.
Murphy, President Of the Minnesota Senate
In this letter Gen. Shields complains bitterly
of the treatment that the representatives OF
the new State have received at the Federal
Capitol He details the obstacles raised in the
Senate to the admission of Minnesota, depen,
dent upon the admission of Kansas as an out
rage on their constitutional rights, which, he
is certain, the people of Minnesota will resist
with one heart and one mind
He alludes to the course of the President,
contrasting his silence on the Minnesota case
with his zeal in favor of the admission of Kau-
sas and while he admits the different circum-
stances in the latter case, and expresses his
high respect for the President whom he is un-
willing to blame, he thinks the Presidents
judgement has been biased by the suggestions
of selfish men, Of inferior parts and question
able integrity. In conclusion, he declares his
determination to do his duty fearleSsIy to Min
nesota, and to resist wrong come from what
quarter it may.

BY" Our friend BsARDsLEY, of the TF1vnc
County Hsrald has strange propensity for
interfering in the affairs of this District We
have suggested to him upon several occasions,
the propriety of attending to his own business,
but with poor success, for on every opportuni-
ty he seems disposed to undertake the regula-
ton Of matters in this benighted section. His
last interference is in the proposed change Of
this Judicial district W. would suggest to
him, that he was once mised by the Nontrose
Democrat, and found it necessary to publish a
retracton which should at least have learned
him to be more cautious, even if it did not
lessen his hatred of the people Of this locality
We believe that matters can be regulated
here without his aid or interference.
