Tie right Of property IN cattle and horses is derived

during the years ending June 30th, 1857, and

observed that there have been increased re-

States the receipts are less than in 1857 1t is
q singular circumstance, in this connection,
that there is shown to be an increase in all the
Southern States with the single exception of
Alabama; while in all the older non. slaveholding
States, except New Hampshire and New Jersey,
there is palpable falling of. The aggregates
show an increase in 1858 of S125,6759l. Here

The Death Of Lieut.. Allen.

From our Oregon files we derive the following
relative to the killing Of Lieut. Allen, but would
remark that IL does not coincide with the account
received at the Department here, and which were
published in the Star some two weeks ago:
eve have the statement that the circumsta noes
connected with the killing of Lieutenant Allen
were somewhat as follows: There is a division
among the tribes west of the Columbia river rel
alive TO FIGHTING the troops. Some desire to A Ibt
and others wish to make peace. Ouhi and Quail
ana Chos hose kan, with their families were for
peace. The latter separated from the hostiIes

themselves and chiefs friendly But an nd an
who was with Garnett's command reported that
among these Indians there wee four w no were in

Lad lied when they said that all in their camp
were friendly. This induced Mai Garnett to re-
taIn lhe chlei, as prisoners and TO order Lieut..
Alien with a detachment to surround the Ind ian
camp, while the IBdians were asleep
Accordingly, about O'Clock on the morning
OF the 18th, he, with one or two of his men, went
lnto the indian camp, while the remainder were
stationed in readiness to fire at the est signal OF
distress. Lieut.. Allen attempted to rouse them

The next statement shows the expenses Of the
Department, during the years given above, for
compensation to postmasters and incidental ex.
penses of post Offices. There is yet to be added
to this side Of the account the expense of trans
portation, which in 1857 amounted to an aggre-
gate Of Sc, 500, 152. 66, and it will hardly fall
under that sum during 1853. This statement
exhibits an excess of expenditures in 1855 over
1851, in every State and Territory except
Rhode Island, Connecticut, California and
Utah; and the aggregate increase during the
latter year is shown to be Sl64, 654.46, overbal-
ancing the increase of receipts by $3S,97S So.
In 1857, the expenses of the Post Office De-
partment exceeded the revenue derived from
the postal service by S2,sl4, 574.4l, without in
Guiding the foreign mails on either side of the
account. During 1858, the probabilities are
that larger deficit will be exhibited. The

The PENNSYLVANIA AND OTHER ELECTIONS.
We commend to the reader the following COM
mon sense view of the recent Pennsylvania
and other elections, which we extract from that
euinently sensible Journal, the New York
Journal of COmmeres. Worepeat the declara-
ton repeatedly made, that We are not among
those who desire the Democracy to control the
next House of Representatives unless their
majority can be SO weeded Of Fishey Phunkey
fellows as to make it majority in fact rs well
as in name. We cry over no such defeats as
are involved in these acknowledgements
defeats which send to the House men who will
agree in nothing except q common desire to
clutchl the spoils Of victory. We like Con-
gressional responsibility upon precisely such
shoulders as bid fair to wear 1t after next win
ter, when the interests Of the Democratic party
are wrapped up in the certainty that these
accidentals-" on horseback will ride to the
devil"
rESNsYLvANIA-OHIo-IN results
In these States are now before our readers: and
aitnough In some particulars they NAV prove TO
be less favorable To the Opposition than Is Iepre
scented by the telegraphic dispatches, there can
be no doubt that on the whole the Democrats
have been "pretty considerably whipped. To
be sure, they are by no means in so lean minor
ity In these states rs they were In the last Con
gress but one, (the 3ith,) when they had not
single member In the Ohio delegation, only two
in that Of Indiana, and only i've six in Penn
sylvania. In other words, OF the 81 members of
Congress from these three States, only seven Were
then Democrats. The number In the next Con.
gress will be something like. 70, or one-third Of
the whole. Compared with. the present (35th)
Congress, the Democrats lose IN these three States
ABOUT dozen members possibly fifteen. Th.t
IS something, but should only arouse the Demo-
Gratis OF this and other States yet to elect to re-
newed energy, and especially to M on, the want
oa winch has been the cause Of the recent disas-
