Astounding Rumors.

1t is currently rumored, on the streets and in
public places, that tsoo hundred thousand dol
lars has been subscribed to carry Lecompton
through the House. Now, if this money is in
tended to affect the vote in the House, we be-
lieve it will not accomplish the end desired, 30
far a. the anti-Lecompton Democrats are con-
cerned. Every man among them has stood up
firmly against Lecompton, upon principle. They
are committed against it by word and deed, and
they are not likely, at this late hour, to place
themselves in q position to merit the scorn and
contempt Of the whole country. No anti Le-
compton Democrat can now desert his prin.
ciples without suspicion; and We are satisfied,
therefore, that the column we erected some days
ago to the honesty and integrity Of these gentle
men will remain firm and unbroken-- Wash.

Dreadful Accident.

Dreadful Accident
7. B. Hudson, for twenty years Professor of
Mathematics in the College at Oberlin, Ohio,
was killed, on the LIST inst, on the Cincinnati,
Cleveland, and Columbus Railroad, in attempt
ing to get on moving train. The dreadful
accident occurred near Olmstead, a few miles
from Cleveland. His footprints were found on
the EARTH making short steps at first, then longer
strides, as if running whilst holding on to the
cars, and ended at pile of iron, beyond which
his body was found. 1t is supposed that his
foot struck the pile of iron, by which means bis
hold on the cars was loosened, when he fell
under the wheels. This theory is strengthened
by the fact that his shawl, carpet sack, and
pieces of clothing, we're found scattered along the
track, between the pile of iron and the body.
Thus lying helpless upon the track, the poor
man was sufficiently conscious to know that the
Toledo train was coming down upon him, yet
he was unable to drag his crushed bones off the
rail. He could but raise his hand, and in
moment the train passed over him, severing
his head and both arms and legs from his body.
The body was carried on to Cleveland. 1t was
so dis6gured, that none could recognise it, Mr..
Brown, of the Farmer, knew by bis shawl, car
pet beg, railroad pass as assistant editor of the
Farmer, and by some papers found in his bag,
which he had given him but few hours before
that it was the body of Prof. Hudson.
Prof Hudson was mas of fine intellect and
faithful and earnest Aboltionist. His death
will be lamented by q wide circle of intimate
friends, and by net few who knew him only
by reputation, and yet have learned to love him
for his works sake.

The full but not official vote of Connecticut
exceeds 10000, but the relative positions of the
two parties is not changed by these later re-
turns, the results in many instances having
been announced by majorities. Mr.. Bucking
ham has 36, 400 and Mr.. Pratt $4,000, and there
are 26l scattering. This must be set down az
the most CALLING defeat the Democray of Con.
nectcut have ever sustained, as it is also the
most gallant victory their opponents have ever
achieved.
An overseer namsd Davenport has been con-
victed of manslaughter at Vicksburg, Missis-
sppi, for killing slave, and has been SEN
fenced to seven years hard labor In the peni-
Tertiary. The counsel for the defence urged
that the fatal blow was given while the slave
was resisting the authority of the overseer, but
Judge Yerger charged the jury to the effect that
the slave, when his life was threatened OF en-
dangered by the inaiction Of cruel and unusual
punishment, had the right to resist even the
master, and that his resistance under such cir.
cumstances would be no justification for killing
him. This is progress-Southern Judges have
generally ruled that killing slave by mod.
crate correction" was no offence against the
law.
De Lamartine has written letter to La

BkT The Mobile Register of the 10th inst,
announces the arrival of the United States
sloop Plymouth at that city on the 14th,
having on board Mr.. Forsyth, the late Min
lister to Mexico. The Register says that when
Mr.. Forsyth demanded an escort from the
Government of Mexico, intending to leave
the capital on the 18th ult., the Supreme
Government were afraid to furnish it, ac-
cording to the usage of nations, and, being
willing to accept nothing less, threw himself
on his own resources, rather than to be fur
ther delayed in that miserable country
The fearfulness ofthe Government grew out
of the armed array of its enemies that infest
the road to the coast. He left the city oi
Mexico on the 25th. On his route near
Puebla Mr.. Forsyth had a recontre with q
band of robbers, and not only put them to
route in self defence, but recovered from
them a small drove of mules that they had
stolen from a muleteer an hour or so before.
The muleteer did not pretend to reclaim
them. but Mr.. Forsyth delivered them over
to him, as he did not aspire to a conquest sc

state Printing.

Messrs. Cameron & McNeely, the pub
fishers ofthe Indianapolis Citizen, have made
q proposition through their paper to the
Legislature, to do the State Printing at one
half the prices heretofore allowed for the
public work. In their address to the Leg
islature, they say:
The politicians are at work, dickering and
trading around in order to feather their
nests and swindle the people. The State
Printing is the greatest outrage, and that is
the special object of speculation. Some
half dozen parties are after it, and finding
that neither has any chance to getit singly,
they are trading off and withdrawing" in
order to unite upon one party their whole
strength. So enormous are the profits, that
the successful candidate can afford to pay
certain competitors largely to withdraw,
and still make good thing of it.
The law of l643 governs this printing
When those prices were fixed, steam power
and power presses had not been introduced.
The work was done in the old way, and OF
course cost more than it can be done for
now, sinca the introduction of steam.
But now this reason does not exist, and
the only thing that has kept the prices up to
the present outrageous figures is, that Or
gans and favorites have had to be made rich
at the expense of the people. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars have been drawn
from the treasury in this way, in the most
wrongful manner.
There are in the present Legislature q
number of men who are getting heartily
sick of the enormous peculations that are
going on here at the Capital. They are
ready to commence the work of cleansing
the Augean Stables, and we can tell them
that the dirtiest stall therein, is that where
the State Printer gorgeS himself on the rich
feed that surrounds him.
If committees are appointed to investi-
gate this subject, with power to send for
persons and papers, some disclosures will be
ELECTED that will make unsuspecting and
honest Senators and Representatives look
wild.
Their Office, they say, will save about
So, 900 per annum to the State, and they
close with these remarks:
A number of members have made great
professions of economy. We now make
| this public offer, in order that the people may
see whether their Representatives and SEN
ators will carry out these professions
when thousands of dollars per year are in
volved.
Messrs. Cameron & McNeely have large
Office and every facility for doing the work,
and are highly responsible bidders.

For our part we take the opportunity to
express our hearty delight at the suppress

where no regular practitioners are within reach,
and SO many diseases which require prompt reme-
dies, that supply of the prescriptions prepared by
Dr. Graves, commended they are for efficiency,
would prove almost invaluable. In all cases of
