How Enforcement ofLaw wo.ks.

At the recent Court of Common Pleas of Lo-
rain county, t. Pangburn, of Elyria, who was
nominally in the custody OF the Sheriff await
ing sentence on conviction for selling liquor
in violation of Law, suddenly LEFT and has not
returned. When the Court adjourned, an order
was entered upon the journal, commanding the
Sheriff to arrest him and keep him in custody
until the next term. This would preclude the
possibility of his being released on bail, and OF
course he dare not come back Though he strong
ly desires to. The Democrat says:
Last week be made proposition, through his
Attorney in Cleveland, to this effect that he
would entirely abandon the traffic hereafter in
spirituous liquors, in this county, and would not
become partner of any person who sold them;
that be would pay to the County the sum of
seventy five dollars, in addition TO the twenty
five dollars he had already paid, and would also
pay the Sherifs fees in foil; that as a security
for the fullfiment Of his promise, he was will
ing that the indictments now found against him
should remain in fnrea asking only that he may
be permitted to return, without being arrested.
in order to fulfil in good filth his promises
aud tn the suit on the forfeiture of his bail
bond be discontinued.

WASHINGTON coRRRsPONDENCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., June %, 1858.
EDIroR OF LEADER The warm weather of
the few days past has driven nearly all stran-
gers from this city save a few Office seekers.
Perhaps ought not to call three or four hun
dred "a few" but compared with the number
who have been here for the year past, the army
is small
Nearly all the members of Congress have left,
as many of them have interests at home to at
tend to by way of nominations, DC. 1t would
be better for the country, however, if the PeO-
pie only, aside from politicians, would manage
the conventions for the nomination of public
officers; and let the office seek the man, and not
the man the office Such state of things is
too much to expect in these times. But wheth-
er the people or politicians make nominations
for members of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, this fact should be kept in mind
that it requires service of two or three terms
in that body for man TO gain position and
make himself familiar with its rules and routine
of business. It also needs much experience to
be able to meet successfully the resorts to trick
cry, brow beating, and gaming generally which
has grown up under the fostering hand Of Dem
ocratic rnlc.
II Republicans are wise they will discard n o
member of Congress who has proved himself
true to principle, the times, and the occasions
when he has acted for his party.
If the Republican party had an honest, open,
fair dealing enemy to contend with, it would do
to send inoxPerienced men here TO meet them in
council. Bat such Is not the case. If the ex-
psrienre of honest men Is worth anything, there
l. no place where that experience is of more use
than in the Congress of the United States.
As well might Il man select an attorney from
among a set of men who never looked inside of
law book or a court room, as for the Republi-
can party 10 send Iaen hers as Congressman
who have had no experience in legislation, as
conducted by the present Democratic party in
the House Of Representatives. 1t will not do
1t would be parry suicide TO undertake 1t, how
ever wise or wary the men they send as sGbsti-
tutes. And as for Ohio, she would be inficting
a misfortune of the seyerest kind upon the eOun-
ellis of the Nation, should she withdraw from
its number such meu as Giddings, Bingham,
Bliss, Wade, Mott, Sherman, Stanton,-in fact
the entire Republican delegation from Ohio are
men OF high toned, statesman-hke character,
and they are known and noted as such here by
candid men of all parties. Ohio will honor her
self, The nation, and those men, as well % add
new strength and influence TO the Republican
party in Congress, by rejoicing her present
Republican delegation; not omitling TO render
it unit by leaving out the Rurnses, Cox's, DC.
They can be spared both on the score Of expe-
rience, craftsmanship, or any other virtue.

The Homicide at Lawrence.

We have the third days proceedings in the
examination of James II. Lane for the murder
Of Col. Jenkins, at Lawrence. The examining
Count is composed of Justices Ladd, Otterson,
and Soule. Counsel for Territory, Messrs. Col
iamer, Wood, Stanton, and Stafford, Prosecu-
ting Attorney. For Gen Lane, ,Messrs- Young,
Christian, H & t Ewing, Jr., and Hutchinson.
The prisoner on the third day appeared to be in
good health and spirits The testimony dis
closes about the same facts in regard TO the IN
fortunate homicide as were given in the news
paper accounts published at the time of its
occurrence.
Judge Army, of Kansas, who was present the
first and second days of Lanes examination,
was in Chicago on the ed The Tribune says;
He thinks that Lane viii be bound over; after
wards tired and acquitted on the plea Of justin
able homicide; but that, politically, he is ruined
in Kansas He thinks that Lane viii leave the
Territory after he hes had his trial.

For the Leader

The following is from the Marquette Journal,
and is going the rounds of the papers:
New EXPERIMENT WITH L. s. IRoN.-Mr.
Gay has ventured upon an experiment, at the
Collins Co. s works, from which highly benefi-
cial results are anticipated He takes the pig
from the Pioneer Furnace, heats it almost to
liquidation, and hammers out and fashions it in
to ear axles. Quite lot of them are lying upon
the dock to be shipped to different parts of the
country to be tested He has, himself, as he
thinks, tested them severely, with entire sue
cess, by letting fall a four hundred pound ham
mer, from hight of twelve feet, two hundred
times, first upon one side, and then an equal
number Of times upon the other side, without
breaking them, They present to the eye very
smooth and handsome appearance.
This is the same Mr.. Gay who induced men
in Cleveland to build Furnace to tIy an ex-
pertinent of his in making Pig metal at cost
of some Thousand dollars, and failed to produce
single pound,
The thing was without form and built of ma
terials that did not last an hour, and this exper
iment to make car axles is equally absurd.
Some things intended to be in the simiIitude of
axIes have been brought here by Mr.. Gay, con-
demned, and are now at Ford & Otis Forge 10
be worked over.
There can now be made at Marquette axles
or any thing else in Iron, of surprising excel
lenee, but the rules of science must be OBJ
served. The hammering out of pig into an
axle, and poor pig at that, is too great an alb
surdity to be published in paper 1t is hoped
for the credit Of the L. S. ore that no more such
axles or such pig Iron as came from the Pioneer
Furnace will be sent into this market where the
sales Of the ore are desired

Department has prepared statement Of letters
returned 10 the Dead Letter Office extending
back to the Ist of April, addressed to bogus lot
teries and other similar firms. The letters
number one thousand siI hundred and aiaefeea,

TERRIBLE FIRE IN CANADA.-We learn from
The Quebec Chronicle of Saturday, that a dread
ful fire, caused by the clearing of lands, has
occurred in the County of Chicoutimi, and has
been carried by strong wind springing up at
the time over the greater part of nine townships
IN that county, consuming all before it, and
rendering desolate and hOuseless over one hun
dred families, equal to seven hundred souls
By this calamity, it is said, more than one hun
dred thousand dollars worth of property has
been destroyed, beside an immense extent of
fencing, with several costly bridges More
than third of the seed s0wn this Spring has
also been destroyed, which will be very severely
felt by the settlers, owing to their inability to
procure seed aud resow so late in the season.

FIVE HUSDRED DOLLARS Damage FOR Re

has heretofore excited no little interest, has jus
been decided 10 Warren County. At the elec

1856, a E" colored man named Jesse Beckle,
some few shades darker than alabaster, olferd

after his ballot had been rejected, he eaInlenc

Crime and Violence in wnshington.


1t will be recollected that during the session
Of Congress crime and violence became so ram
pant at Washington that the Administration
made strong efforts to obtain the passage of a
law to provide for an additional police force,
a sort of mounted regiment, to be paid for from
the public treasury. The bill was debated, and
the most terrific pictures Of Washington society
were drawn by members, who, in some instsn-
ces, set examples in Congress that would con-
sign poor devils in the streets to prison, indict-
ment and punishment.
As ali things come to an end, so did Con-
gress and since then quiet and security ap-
pear to have returned to Washington, so much
so that in accordance it is claimed with public
opinion President Buchanan has resPited James
Powers, the convicted murderer, who was one
of the leaders of the gang ofTObbsrs and street
fighters that SO terrified nervous N. C.'s There
certainly is no pressing occasion for exPending
quarter of million annually beyond the pres
ent cost of maintaining the police force in
Washington, SO long as the sentence Of the law
on convicted felons is subject to the clemency
of the President

Pnning nn,rn Interest in California

The CalifornIans must be in high favor with
capitalists abroad-over the LEFT. They held
out in the hey-day of their prosperity the tempt
ing bait ofhigh interest, and induced large In
vestments by Eastern mOnied men who like ev-
erybody else became erazed to have the ''gOlden
stream sudden and violent"
The "dry and dusty channel has already
appeared 70 some, for the Legislature of Cali
fornia has passed an act consolidating the debt
of Sacramento County and City, ordering the
eight per cent and ten per cent bonds to be
surrendered, and new ones to be issued at si1
per cent. This California mode of putting down
the rate of interest is novel one, and what
adds to the insult is the fact that the last inter
est is still due, and the act provides that !
shall not be paid until the holders of the bonds
consent to this change.
When Legislatures thus step in and impail
the validity of contracts, reputation of botf
principal and interest may next be looked for.

RAPID SrrTcHINe.-The following paragraph

good Sewing Machine can DO in the hands of a
skilIfnl operator:
"An operator at Golden Hill Shirt Factory,
few days since" says the Bridgeport Connect
icut) Fdrmer, stitched seven hundred and
twenty yards of seam in ten hours, with one of
Wheeler and Wilson's sewing machines. The
number Of stitches taken was SIX bundled and
twenty-five thousand and eighty" The above
reckoning would give twenty-four stitches to
each inch of seam, and ten hundred and thirty
six per minute. The number ordinarily made
by hand is not more than forty or fifty per
minute.
