rSy We learn that the canvas betwe,

E5~ We learn that the canvas between
the two leading candidates for Sheriff,
Gavitt and Mcbride, is growing excited
and interesting in their perigrinations
through the rural districts of the county
1t is becoming decidedly personal in its
character, and their discussions relate al
snUsr entirely to the personal habits and
character of each other. Some of our rustic
citizens will learn more of the secrets OF
city life from this controversy, than they
would by years residence within the cor
poration. Lecomptonism anti-Lecompton-
ism-orthodox and boiling Democracy, are
all swallowed up in the personal controver-
sy-which in its bitterness is revealing the
worst sides Of both candidates. We con
venture to assure our friends in the country
that they are both better men than they
represent each other to be. This much we
feel it incumbent to say, for the credit OF
our city and county, in whose service they
have both borne important trusts.

LIABILITY OF RAILROAD CoNPASIEs.-A
case has recently been decided, in which the
Pennsylvania railroad company was defend
ent and certain John Conroy plaintiff, in
which damages were claimed for fatal in
juries inflicted upon a woman ut Altoona
The circumstances were somewhat peculiar
and the verdict ofthe jury develops a new
feature in regard to the liability OF railroad
The plaintiff, with his wife and two chill
dren, took passage on the emigrant train
from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. They ar.
rived ut Altoona, when the train was plac-
ed on the side track, where it remained un-
til noon the next day, when it was dropped
down to its place for starting westward.
The Hollidaysburg train came up on the
branch road from that place on time, as it is
alleged, and, after entering upon the main
track, backed up the same past the emigranr
train, at some distance from it; and at tn,
moment the plaintiffs wife, who had left
the latter train but a few minutes before
was crossing or walking along the main
track, she was knocked down by the back
ing train, and instantly killed.
John Conroy, her administrator, brought
this action to recover damages for the al
legged negligence of the defendants, contend
ing that they, by their officers, were guilty
of such negligence in the management Of
the backing train us rendered them liable in
this action. The Jury rendered verdict fol

Union.

regular discussion between Laird and the
Oregon Senator elect the entertainment will
be richly worth the ride to hear it.

AS ISDEPENr CArHYDIc ORGANIZATION
We find the following announcement in a
Canadian paper:
The Rev. NJ. Chiniquy, so well known
in Canada as the Apostle of Temperance,
and n most eloquent preacher, aud whose
resistance of Episcopal authority in Illinois
has lattcrly excited so much painful feeling
among his orthodox compairiots, has at
length been induced To take a rash and
probably an irretraceabe step.
Bishop Duggan, of Chicago who had sue
cceded Bishop ORegan, solemriy ratified
the canonical censures and intcrdict pro-
nounced by the latter against Mr.. Chiniquy
whereupon tire reverend gentleman, about
the ODD ult., in the Court House of Kauka-
kee, AMI in the presence of a great crowd,
made public declaration that Inc separated
from the Catholic Church, and was going to
found sect under the denomination o;
"Eglise Chretienne Catholique, independent
of Rome and the Bishops. This conduct is
said to have offended many who had hither-
(, adhered to his ministration, and il is
supposed that not more than hundred
o. so are likely to continue attached to his
fortunes

Circuit Judge.

Mr.. Moore's prospects are daily becoming
more flattering- We are assured by those
who have been through the Judicial
District that his election is a highly
probable event The manifestations of
popular opinion in the northern coun-
ties, is stronger than his warmest friends
expected. They have not heretofore en-
couraged his aspirations, fearing the canvas
would end in disappointment and defeat to
him. But they are now going to work in
earnest to secure his election. A friend in
Perry writes us that he will receive 300 ma
jority in that county Another tells US, he
will carry Spencer by 1000 majority. He
will have majority in Warwick. In this
county he is supported by the bar, and will
beat his opponent largely. In Posey he will
get the whole vote that is not pledged to
the regular nominee of the convention. In
Gibson he is strong, and in the other coun-
ties he will run Mr.. Burke very hard. a
correspondent at Washington, in Daviess
county, writes that in that county, Martin,
Pike, and Dubois, Burke will not receive so
large vote as Niblack. We wish most
earnestly to keep the election of Judge free
from all connection with partizan issues
The votes of the electors should be deter
mined by their convictions of the qualifca-
tons of the two candidates. Many of the
leading members of our bar express conf
dence in the character and ability of Mr..
Moore and desire for his election. Our
own opinion is shaped by their Judgment
We can assure those who prefer Mr.. Moore,
that votes cast for him will not be thrown
away upon hopeless candidate.

RIcH.-Thos. Hendricks, U. S. Land Com
missioner, who is now stumping the State
to aid in the election of Mr.. Buchanan's fa-
vorites, in a speech a few days since, at La
fayette, made one of his strong points against
the Republican party-that DIR. Nofsinger,
loaned, while Treasurer, $3.50 to pork
speculator which has not yet been paid
When DIR. Mcfarland asked who got the
money, he wilted. Allen May, then as now
prominent member of Hendricks party,
and now stumping Indiana, like Mr.. Hen
bricks, for Lecomptonism, Buchanan and
Bright, GOT THE MONEY for drafts on New
York. These drafts were protested, and
May paper with Jesse d. Bright and Mi
chael Bright was given in lieu therefor
These gentlemen, every one of them, are now
enlisted in the service of the Administra-
ton, got the money, are now indebted to
the State for it, do not pay although it has
now been standing due for eighteen months
or more, and yet this Apostle of Lecomp-
tonism has the effrontery to make this as a
charge against the Republican party.

The Administration and the Tariff.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, who has proven himself good
prophet of coming events at Washington,
ventures upon the prediction that the Pres
ident will be apt to startle some of his Free
Trade friends by his remarks on Protection
in the next Annual Message. The President
has never been a more decided enemy to
the domestic industry of the country than
experience has shown to be necessary to be
a good democrat. Upon the whole, he ia
vors efficient protection to Iron and Coal,
those being Pennsylvania interests. He
knows that the day for KANE letters and for
wages at ten cents day, has passed. Be-
sides, the area of opinion in favor of Pro-
lection is increasing. 1t is somewhat singu-
lar that, as it is said the white man on this
continent has been the cleaner after the ne
gro, so those States which are preparing
from necessity to exchange the simple occu-
pations of the slave for the complicated
and artificial labor of the white, are joining
the clamor for legislative aid to the new
modes of industry. Thus, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, and Missouri are only wait
ing for another turn of the screw of hard
times to cry as loudly for anti-free trade
men and principles as ever New England
did. 1t is believed, that if the finances
should not improve at very decided rate,
the President will recommend the restora-
ton of those protective features of the tariff
of 1916 that were abrogated or mitigated
by the act of 1851.
The National Inteliigeneer thinks that
Mr.. Cobb will be prepared with strong
recommendation for an increase of duties,
when, as Secretary Of the Treasury, he shall
be calledt to make his annual exhibit of actual
receipts and prospective resources for reve-
nue. purposes, and adds: 1t is gratifying to
observe, from recent indications of Demo-
cratic sentiment in Maine, Pennsylvania,
and elsewhere, that any recommendations
which the President may urge in favor oil
raising the duties, even with the view of
affording protection to all branches Of
American industry, will no longer encoun-
ter the opposition of considerable body
among his political adherents; while such
as are willing to protect but feel constrained
to repudiate the theory Of protection may
still rejoice in the fact that any rate of duties
which shall raise revenue adequate to
meet the current expenditures of the Gov
eminent is likely for some time 10 come to
prove abundantly ample for all the purposes
Of even the most thorough going among the
oretical protectionists.
Those Administration papers who have
valiantly proclaimed their complete prepare
ton to do battle again against protection OF
home industry, may be compelled to sheath
their swords, and doff their armor, at the
command of the President. They have
grown extremely reserved upon the subject
within few weeks.

The AMERICAN MINISTER IN CHINA.-Lt.
Habersham, of the q. S. steamer Powhatan,
in the river PHO, China, gives the follow
ing account of the joint proceedings of the
Russian and American Ministers, en- the APP

themselves at Tein-Sing than our able repre-
sentative, Mr.. VIM. b. Read, left the Mime

at her fore, along side Of the Russian eagle,
and was steamed up towards Tein-Sing.-
Then was seen strange sight-an unnatural
one almost-despOtism and freedom walk
ing hand in hand. On the quarterback Of
the Russian steamer-of-war America walked
Count Poutaitine and Mr.. W. b. Reed, in
earnest conversation; below in the mess
Russian and American officers drinking
champaign and fratcrnizing, and at the
Americas foremost head waved the flags Of
Russia and the United States, side by side
This is no new thing; this "feeling be-
tween Russia and the United States. II
first became apparent during the Crimear
war, and has since demonstrated itself in q
thousand different ways and in thousand
different places. Rumor says indeed that
the Russians haze orders to fraterniZe will
us, and it certainly looks like it. Well
Mr.. Reed and Count Poutaitine steamed M
the river to Tein-Sing, let go their ('' our ~,
anchor off that city. and at last accounts
were in fair way to reopen the promising
negotiations" which had been so suddenly
arrested on the 10th ult The English ant
French having had an interview with thu
two Tartar Princes, Mr.. Reed was to have
his at A. NJ. this morning, and Coun
Poutaitine at the same hour tomorrow. j
seems that they choose early hours to avoiC
the cioseness of the midday Chinese atmos

New YORK PoLIrrcs.-What the result of
the present canvas in New York State will
be- it is hard to predict. In 1856 the vote
for Governor was as follows King (Rep.),

toubtedly bring out one of their stronges,
