In United States Sennte.

A bill for the admission of Kansas un-
der the Leeompton Constitution has been
reported to the U. S. Senate, by Mr..
Green, of Missouri, on behalf of a major
ity of the Committee on Territories. A
minority report, signed by Messrs. Cola
mer and Wade, and one signed by Mr..
Douglass, have also been presented
Our readers are SO familiar with the ar
gumcnts used by the different parties up
on this subject, that we deem it unneces-
sary to publish these lengthy reports.
In this matter the friends Of the Lee
compton Constitution and the Admins
tration, were guilty of another very mean
trick. They had promised to give Mr..
Douglass until Monday to get up his re-
port; but, instead Of doing SO, they con-
cluded to take snap judgment on him,
and consequently resolved to report on
Thursday morning. Tie " Little Giant"
was not to be foiled, however, by such
contemplate maneuvring; and after wri-
ting all night, had his report ready by
daylight on Thursday morning. Such
indomitable perseverance and energy are
certainly commendable and worthy Of
imitation.

Important To Railroad Companies.

A very important principle to railroad
companies, as well as the whole travelling
public, was ruled by Judge Woodward,
Of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
in the long contested suit of O'brien VS..
the Railroad Company. The Philadel
phia Ledger says: ..... ...4
i" The suit was brought for damages
for personal injuries sustained by the plain
tiff while crossing in two-horse wagon
the track Of the railroad The case was
prosecuted and defended by several Of
our ablest counsel, and the trial occupied
three or four days. resulting in verdict
for the defendant, every point being tlab-
orately discussed. Judge Woodward
charged the jury substantially as follows:
"lst. That person about to cross
railroad track, is in duty bound to stop
and look in both directions, end listen be.
fore crossing, .r
ed. That if the plaintiff contributed in
the slightest degree to the accident in
question, he could not recover, although
the railroad company were negligent"
This in our imagination, is not only
good law, but common sense. The idea
that has so long prevailed that railroad
companies are to be made responsible for
all the consequences from collisions on
the lines Of their respective roads, wheth
er they were negligent or not in attending
TO their duties, needed the check which
Judge Woodward in his ruling has given
it. Heretofore, the tendency Of the deci-
sions OIL. courts and verdic!s Of jures have
all been in the wrong direction. Instt ad
Of tending to make private travel careful
in crossing the taacks Of railroads, the
disposition to consider the railroad compa-
ny always in the wrong, and the individ-
ual always the victim, awarding him
promptly full, and sometimes exemplary
damages, has tended to make them reck-
less of the damages that may ensue to
the railroad company's property, and the
lives of their passengers and employees.
If courts and juries had set out in the
FIRST establishment Of railroads with the
principle Of holding private travel liable
for damages to railroad companies and
their passengers, the number of accidents
would no doubt have been greatly les
sened. The tendency has been not only
to make individuals crminally careless,
but has even opened the door to the mali
cious and knavish, to put comparatively
vaueless property in the shape Ct horse
flesh and cattle, in the way Of danger,
that good round price might be obtain
ed, and perhaps some private pique and
malicious purpose grati6ed; the Whining
ton Railroad Company has acted wisely
in resisting this wrong. and Judge Wood
ward has done himself signal credit in
righting it," = ~

The President of the u. s. applying the
g Ehi1iotiue, rT-


II as been said that Whom The Gods
wish to destroy, they first make mad. Z
which may be applied to the President
with great force--the old man must be
really deranged He has decided that
the principle that the majority shall
rule" shall be rtricken out OF the Demo.
cratic creed, and that he who expects the
honor of a smile from his Excellency,
must down upon his " narrow bones
and swear by Lecompton. He who Ire
fuses TO do this is cast out from the glo-
ry Of his presence forever.
The line has been drawn; and the dis
interested patriots who wish to serve their
country under the Administration Of Mr..
Buchanan, must eschew everything like
old fash'ont d Jackson Democracy, and toe
the scratch without a murmur, or "off
with his head" vii come from the throne
like a thunder bolt.
Poor Miller, Post Master at Columbus,
refused 10 kneel and swear, and before he
knew "what hurt him" his head was dan
cling hornpipe in the air. Price, Post
Master at Chicago, who was foolish
enough to suppose that he had the right
to think for himselfin in this country, awoke
a few mornings ago to find himself
minus head. Gray, of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, who has been endeavoring
to perform two-horse act by riding "old
Buck" and Little Doug" at the same
time, it is said. has been caught leaning
over little too much TO the side Of the
pony, and'the loss Of his head is to be the
result of his awkwardness.
Thus the work Of decapitaion is going
on, and we blush when we reflect that
the humiliating and degrading work is
superintended by the President in per.
son. Buchanan is doomed man--po-
litically. he is dead cock in the pit
Even the South will not support him
be has gone further than they desired
him to go--he has shown himself to be a
little too ultra Soutberner for the people
of Virginia. Maryland, Kentucky and
Tennessee and they have deserted him.

tracted for. @ @ 49,

The Investigating Committee.

It seems that Speaker Orr, in viola
ting the trust imposed in him by depart.
ing from time -honored parliamentary
custom in the selection Of the investiga.
ting Committee under Mr.. Harris's reso.
luton, has been very fortunate in his
choice. He knew his men well--they
have entered upon the dirty work for
which they were appointed, without even
squirming. Every proposition OF the
Anti Lecompton members of the Com
mittee, looking to an investigation, is
promptly voted down, Notwithstanding,
according to the resolution, the very pur-
pose for which the Committee was ap.
pointed was to 60 into thorough inyesti-
CATION of everything connected with the
Lecompton fraud.
This, we presume, is part of James
Bachanan's programme and it is truly
to every American to be
compelled to acknowledge that these vi
olations of common courtesy and decen-
cy are the result of fixed de'ermina-
ton on the part Of the President Of these
United States TO put the Lecompton fraud
through the House over the heads OF the
people who elected him to the exalted
position he now occupies.
We never were an admirer Of Mr.. BIZ.
chanan, but really we did not think him
capable OF conduct SO disgraceful-so dis
honorable !!

HANGING IN PITTSBURGH.

On the 10Th inst, Charlotte Jones and
Henry Fife were hung in Pittsburgh, Pa,
for the murder Of an aged brother and
sister, George Wilson and Elizabeth Nc
Masters, on the lst day Of May .last.--
The circumstances Of this brutal mur.
der, known as the "Wilson Tragedy"
were published at the time. a
Fife was only % years old. He was
a shoemaker by trade. Charlotte was
| in her 9Th year. From her 18th year
she had been noted for immortality, and
was living with Fife at the time, as par
amour. When allhopo was gone, and it
was announced 10 them that they must
die, Charlotte, abandoned as she was,
threw herself on the neck Of Fife, her
paramour, and weeping bitterly, exclaim-
ed, II don't care for myself, il could
only save you"
THE EXECUTION.
Fife retained his composure to the
last. He stepped forward to the edge Of
the scaffold, with one foot .on the steps
beckoned to those present whom he knew
and who ascended and shook hands with
him-taking solemn farewell, and re-
marking to one, II shall die happy" to
another, with the help of God, shall
die like man." and as we are positive
ly assured by three eye. witnesses--th
contradicted by another-after he had
shaken hands with all who came forward
remarked generally: "Gentlemen, want
you TO understand that die game" hav-
ing said which, he went back on 10 the
platform. .eat
During this time Charlotte sat on her
chair, lamentipg, hys,erically praying
audibly and Internationally, and assert
ing over and over the innocence of Stew.
art. 1t was with the greatest effort that
she maintained anything like composure
The chairs had been removed and both
were standing up Immediately under the
ropes. File attempted to reassure her,
embracing and kissing her, and saying
that he was there yet.
Fife, it is said, adjusted the rope around
his own neck. The caps were drawn
over their faces-at precisely two o'clock
the signal was given--the sheriff touch
ed the spring-the platform fell from
under their feet-and Henry Fife and
Charlotte Jones we're no more.
Fife died without a struggle, not NOV
ing muscle. His heart continued to
pulse for ten minutes. Charlotte's ceas-
ed beating in three minutes and half
from the time the drop fell. Her death
was less easy as she fell, her hands
clasped on her breast and the shoulders
were drawn up. ...t

majority Of the committee are uneasy un-
der the strong feeling excited in the couu.
try against the Injustice of the Speaker
and tbeirown uniairness, and THAT now
they have exhibited their fears to 20 on
as they have begun, by the adjournment
for SO long time, which they carried by
their one majority. The objection to
prosecuting an inquiry into the facts con
nectcd with the Lecompton Constitution
was mainly that there was not time; and
TO show how well founded this objection
was, the committee threw away seven
DAYS. Whatever ground there was a few
days since 70, the Lecomptoniles to believe
that they could pass through the House
the contrvance which they support, it
was now slipped away from them, for at
this moment it is obvious to the most
careless observer of transpiring events
that Lecompton must soon meet a blow
mere terrible than that, only one week
ago, in the resolution which ordered in
