HARD EXPERIENCE OF A CLERGYMAN
SAILoR.-The New Bedford Standard of
May 18th says: "In one of the ships which
retained recently to this port, there came
a man who has been whaling for nine
years. He was formerly a minister, but
taking to the intoxicating cup, he fell from
grace, left the ministry and his wife and
family, and went, his friends knew not
where. In dissipation he had wasted the
hard-earned wages of nine years sea-faring
life and arrived here wretched and desti-
tute. Some temperance friends clothed
him decently and made efforts so reform
him, as we hope with success. A few days
ago be received a letter from his son in
Connecticut, saying that all the family had
long supposed him dead, and his wife had
married again. The poor man has started
for Connecticut, bat what will be the en-
: ding OF this chapter remains to be seen.

A F~R1GHrFuL SoENE.-A frightful scene
might have been witnessed, yesterday morning,
on the roof of a three-story house situated on
Water street, between Monroe and Quincy: a
young man was standing upon the comb OF the
roof repairing a chimney, when, the shingles
being vet and slippery, he lost his fOothold and
slid Slowly down, feet foremost, towards the
caves. The two or three persons who witness
ed the accident turned away sick with terror
Although the man made every effort to get a
hold, which the fear of certain death would
naturally prompt, he moved slowly down, was
only checked from falling to the pavement be-
low by a water spout, against which his feet
came in contact. But for this frail obstruction
he must have been dashed into a shapeless
mass. Without uttering a cry for help the
young man kicked off his shoes and proceeded
to ascend, which he succeeded in doing, and
went to work at his chimney again, apparently
taking little account of an accident which had
made the eyewitness heart-sick and dumb
with terror. Wheeling hteHigencer..

LECTURES ON PHYs1oGNoMY.-During the
past week our citizens have been entertained
by a series ofiectures on the subject of Physiog-
nomy, by DR.. Sanger, of New Orleans. The
DOCTOR claims, and We think demonstrates, that
his. system for, the delineation of character is
superior in all respects to Phrenology- We had
an opportunity of witnessing several of his ex-
aminations, and in every instance he succeed
ed most marvolIeusly in depicting the charac-
~teristies of the person examined.
H5~We copy the above from the Mansfield
Herald Of last week. DIR. SANGER is now a.

Hall this evening. His lectures are said to be
very interesting and humorous.

WASHINGTON, March "a


The grand jury more than a week ago made
a presentment against Sickles for the murder
of Key. It then became the duty OF the Dist
riot Attorney to pepare an Indictment and place
it before them for their final action. This he
did to-day when it was returned by then, as a
true bill. The reason of the delay is unders TODD
to be that they might in the meantime have an
opportunity to examine additional witness rs
more particularly relative to Mr.. Bu~tterworth, | o
that if they discovered sufficient cause they
might indict him.
Mr.. Stanton of Pittsburgh and Messrs. Mac
gruder and Radcliff accompanied by the father
of the accused, came into Court and asked that
next Monday be set down for the trial, but af-
ter a conference with the Dist. Atty, Monday
a week was agreed upon for the purpose. The
Cicruit Court of the Dist. of Columbia decided
an important patent case to-day, ON an appeal
from the Com'r of Patents. The case was an
interference between the Nat. Steam Gauge
Co. and VIM. H. Harley. 1t was decided in
favor of e. G.. Allen.

F. KAMMERER, of Cleveland, during the last
few months, has executed some of the finest
fresco work that We have seen. The Metho-

specimens of the art, we think, as can be

The Report of the Treasury Defalcatior

The Sandusky Register, one of the ablest
Republican papers in the State, after giving a
full synopsis of. the Report of the Treasury
Investigating Committee, is forced to admit
that the political parties are tied hand and
foot by this sh owing up 1t says:
"The political parties are tied hand and
foot by this showing up. the implication of
friends of each seem about equal, SO that GRIM
nation would be a useless bandying of accusa-
tions. But it is to be hoped that the startling
depth to which this defalcation had reached
may brighten both parties into a sense of their
duty in the future. Let no man be nominated
by any party for the station of Treasurer
whose integrity and reliability have not been
thoroughly tested. What but defalcation could
be expected from such inexperienced, irres-
ponsible young men as Breslin and Gibson
mere political fortune-hunters, without any
great amount of reputation or property to lose,
when exposed to the unmerciful outside
pressure applied by those ~manipulators who
haunt everyavenue leading TO the public treasu-
ry?"
This is a very important and significant adj
mission, coming from one of the leading Re
publican papers in the State. The opposition
have heretofore charged all of the defalcation
on the Democracy. Gov. HAS stumped
the State and proclaimed that mot one dollar
of the peoples money ad.stained the hands
of 4 Republican" Now they are forced to
admit that they are equally guilty. But we
deny that the Democracy are equally implica-
ted. Although BREsLIN was elected Treasur-
er by the Democratic party, he soon became
the mere tool of the Black Republican bankers,
brokers, stock jobbers and money sharks, and
they deluded him and swindled the Treasury
Bliss and GIBSON were sharks and swindlers
themselves.
Next week we shall give a lengthy extract
from the Report of the committee, showing
who got the money and for what purpose it
was used.-Holmes Go. Farmer.

The Democratic Party.

The question. "Have we a Democratic
party among u.s." is promptly and well an
swered in~the following paragraph, which we
clip from the Buffalo Post.
Some of the blatant Opposition and false
hearted Democratic presses of the country are
tickling their readers by p~ropounding the
question: "Have wea Democratic party among
us?" Children are said to be pleased with a
straw, even, and so we suppose We ought not to
deprive the Opposition of the meagre crumbs
of comfort afforded them in this innocent pae-
time. They will find out when the ballot
boxes are closed in 1860, that there is a Dem
cratic party among us, and a successful one
too. The glorious past history of this country
is hut a record of the triumphs of the Demo
cratic party. 1t has already controlled tn
Government of the United States three i2nrth;
of the time during its existence, and we ven
ture the prediction that it will continue to dc
so. Surviving the ignominy heaped upon i
bv incompetent and designing men-outlivine
the assaults of open enemies and secret foes
the Democratic party will, in 1860, take the
field under the banner of its time honoret
principles, and, despite the howlings of its ad
Tersaries it will again achieve victory.

readers. The public will regret, as did the
Investigating Commission, that MIR. Bresiln
has not made a statement which can be re-
garded, in all respects, candid and truthtul-
So far as he has entered into details explain
ing his losses, the transactions-to which he re-
fers are in general corroborated by testimony
that had been already taken by the Commas
sion. Where, however, he makes declaratloas'
or uses expressions, calculated to lead the pub
lie mind to believe that Mr.. Gibson, the linn
| and Fort-Wayue railroad, and the Seneca
| County Bank, are in no respect inrelyed in that
culpable use of the public money which finally
brought about a stupendous deialcatioD, his
settlement is not entitled to belief, being IN con-
aict with proven facts which conclusivefy es-
tablish the contrary. Unfortunately MIR. Bress
lin, still remains under the magnetlzlng IN
fuance of Mr.. Gibson, and until the former
reve lis the entire facts connected with the
