Fusion Convention in Pennsy1va-
MIA.

On Tuesday, 18th inst, a mongrel
convention, composed of Black Repub-
~licans, Know Nothings and Douglasites,
was held at Harrisburg, for the purpose
of uniting their forces in one common
effert to break down the present demo-
cratic organization in Pennsylvania
Elk Governor Reeder was appointed
President, and on taking the chair, he
addressed the convention referring to the
present condition of the political ele
ments, and denounced the Nathional
Administration for its alleged desertion
of the cardinal doctrines of Democracy.
The address, as was natural in such an
assembly, was frequently interrupted
with applause. After the transaction
of other preliminary business, the mon
grel crowd, black, white and yellow,
nominated John NJ. Reed, of Philadel-
phia, for Supreme Judge. This Mr..
Reed is an office holder of long standing
and was a former democrat; but since
Buchanan (the old rascal has violated
his pledges, abandoned the Cincinnati
platform, and ~trampled its principles in
the dust, he thinks it is his sacred duty
to vote and act with the enemy as the
best way of proving that he still stands
where he has ever stood.-Ww Id

SUMMARY PUNISHMENT. On the 9TH
inst, at Lexington, KY, the City Mar
shall, james Beard, attempted to arrest
a man named Barker who was fighting
in the Market. house, when the latter
stabbed him, severing one of the lungs
and entering the heart. Beard died in
stantly. VIM. Barker was taken to the
watch house aud was removed thence to
the Jail, but the citizens were too much
excited to await the ceremony of the
law. They accordingly had a Temporal
ry scaffold erected from a second story
window of the Courthouse, and at s
o'clock, A. NJ, Barker was swung off.
The rope broke and he fell a distance of
twenty five or thirty feet, bruising him
self and ~disfguring his face, but as he
was not materially injured, he was not
permitted long respite, but after a few
minutes another rope was adjusted and
be was made to take another fear full
leap, this time completing the tragedy.
His body was to hang until noon. We
take ground against all encroachments
upon the prerogatives of law, but some
times human endurance is urged beyond
human patience. The character of Bar
ker had much to do with the summary
punishment. accorded him.-Fact.

The Public Expenditures

The speech, of Mr.. Letcher, OF Vir-
ginia, on the expenditures of the gov
eminent delivered some time ago, in the
House of Representatives, was a very
able and powerful one. 1t was made in
reply to the partizan effort of John Sher-
man, of Ohio, whose object in making
the speech was to give the Republican
leaders something with which to attack
the administration in the coming cam
paign. He shows completely how false
and puerile the arguments of Sherman
are. At the time Sherman's speech was
delivered it was evidently the intention
of the Republicans to swell the appro-
priatioDs of the present session OF Con-
gress to as large a sum as possible
They had a great many objects in view
"a great expenditure of money would
have given the opposition an admirable
basis from which to assault the admins
tration during the coming fall campaign
and also in the campaign of 1860. Owing
to the very diminutive receipts into the
treasury, the excess of expenditures
over receipts would render necessary an
increase of the tariff. A call for this
increase of the tariff, it was thought
would be made available before the
working men of the north during the
present fall wages, and lack of employ.

Buchanan, this branch of the scheme
failed. They were defeated from run

of ninety two millions as they SO earn

heretofore been in the habit of holding
back these appropriation bills until
nearly the last hour of the session fill
ing them with every sort of e%xtrtvagant
expenditures and carrying them to the
President to be read and signed duriog
the night and thus succeed in their
scheme of ~extravagant appropriations
by a contemplate trick upon the Presi-
dent. But the old gentleman was too
sharp for them and told them he would
sign no bill brought to him after Satur-
day. Congress adjourned Monday, thus
getting time to inspect the bills and re-
ject the spurious ones and save per.
haps millions to the Treasury. Thus
wisely has Mr.. Buchanan controlled
these appropriations, and such is the re-
suit OF bis influence on the action of his
first Congress, and we predict tina at
