HOW STANDS THE CASE.

The Opposition expect to make considerable
capital in this out Of their charge OF
extravaganza against the Democratic party. They
assert in general terms, that astounding amount
has been expended under Democratic rule, in these
latter days; but when called on for specifications,
they are very slow to answer There is sub ject
however, in connection with the expenditures
upon which they delight to dwell and that is the
extension ofthe National Capitol and the furnishing
of the same. The cost of the building of the
New Capitol, and the furniture which has been
placed in it, is absolutely shocking to the republi
can sensbties of the editors and orators of the
Opposition Upon the subject Of looking glasses,
hair brushes, etc, they are particularly eloquent
in their denunciations. 1t so happens that in this
instance, as in the numerous others in connection
with the national expenditures to which we
referred a few days since, the assailans are
wounded 'by the rebound of their own balls
Willard Fillmore, the model President of the
Opposition, inaugurated the Capitol extension
and thus created the necessity the subsequent
expenditures, including looking glasses and other
furniture. In this same connection we may
remark that Fillmore inauguratcd also, the
aqueduct for supplying the city Of Washington
with water, the cost Of which is enormous Nor
Interior, under the model President, recommended
the building of houses for the residences of the
members of the cabinet. The adoption Of This
recommendation would have involved an expen-
dture of at least million of dollars. And yet
the friends of Mr. Fillmore and his Secretary Of
the Interior, speak and write, without
bushing, of cxtravagant Democratic expenditures
upon the public buildings Virginia Index.

RUNAWAY SHoT.-We learn from the Weldon

to dead loss. The next day they struck the trail
at different point, and were going on with it
when the negro fired and killed one Of the dogs.
One of the hunters (John IL. Ponton, Esq y rode
round to head him, and when he came up, the ne
gro deliberately raised his gun, Ga fine double
barely and leveling it, snapped twice. and levelcd
it again, and as he snapped the third time, Mr..
Ponton fired and killed him, while the gun was
up at the fellows shoulder The negro had been
in the woods two or three years, and had been
outlawed and dcfed the world lie was desper-
ate fellow, and dangerous to the community. Mr..
Ponton's escape was miraculous, for had the ne
gros gun gone off either Of the three times snap
ped, he would undoubtedly have been killed.

Governor Chase SLIGHTLY Mistaken.

Governor Chase, in his speeches during the
campaign of 1857, when he was a candidate for
reelection, said, in speaking of the Gibson
Breslin defalcation that "not one dollar of the
public money had stained the fingers Of any
Repu6zican State oGEscer," Butby the report of
the present Republican State Treasurer, Mr..
Stone, we learn that Mr.. Gibson, his Repubi-
can predecessor in the office, made an over-.ssue
of forty thousand dollars to the Seneca County
Bank, of which he was the chief owner. The
Treasurer, in his report, says: "From thetacts
that I haze related 1t is impossible to resist the
conclusion hot the stockholders, Including Mr..
-6t1.Aa, qrere aceU arare Of the over-issue.'-

was a little too hasty in vouching for the hon.

Abolition Negro-arIving

The Bridgeport Conn., Farmer relates a
case of the most revolving brutality and i'll
treatment in the neighboring town of South
port. According to the statement of the Far
mer, a colored lad named John Dolan, was
bound out some time since by the managers OF
a New York Asylum, to Mr.. Eli Bennett, OF
Southport, and had been treated by that person
with great cruelty and inhumanity. The boy
says that during the cold spell in January he
was made to go without shoes, and was allowed
but few clothes-and in consequence of this,
both his feet and hands were badly frozen. The
doctor who now attends him thinks he willlose
his fingers at the second joint, and all of his
toes. The boy also says he was stripped naked,
hoisted up by his hands, and fogged with a
horsewhip: The appearance of his back is suf-
fcient testimony of this, for we are told it is
literally cut up. After being dealt with in this
savage fashion, the boy says he was locked up
in a cold garrett-there he remained for three
weeks. Last Sunday, however, when the fam
lily were absent at church, he managed to es-
cape, and meeting a person, stated his case to
him-and by iii was. brought to his mother,
who resides in East Bridgeport. This Bennett
is a leading anti-siayery agitator of Southport,
but his practice is woefully at variance with
his professions.
We have frequent accounts of the inhuman
treatment of both white and colored servants
by the philanthropists @ of the north. For
cruelty they greatly exceed the "detested negro
drivers of the south" The latter have some
excuse for their conduct, because the unruly
and desperate blacks are with difficulty man.
aged, and their bad conduct has the effect of
making their o~verseers irrascible; the northern
"drivers" have not even the bad conduct of
their victims to plead in mitigation of their
h~eartless cruelty to the helpless unfortunates
under their charge. We have heard itremark-
ed by those who know, that the meanest negro
drivers in the south are those who come from
the north, and who were s.raised under aboli-
ton auspices" We venture to say that Ben
nett, the Southport monster, mathematics the
slave holders every night-he has been Erals
ed" to do SO.

The ToIede coIleotorshIp.

The u. s.. Senate has refused to confirm the
nomination of Judge Potter as Collector at To
Iedo in place of D. Coglin. The vote on con
frming stood-Ayes 16, Noes IL. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Ny. Times
thinks that the Senate will reconsider the above
vote, and thai Potter will eventually be con-
irmed. Should the Senate persist in rejecting
the nomination, President Buchanan, will, in
all probability, refuse to send in any other
name to the Senate, thus continuing the Judge
as Collector untilthe meeting of the next Con-
gress. 1t is alleged against Potter, by those
opposed to his confirmation, that he has been
guilty of treason and unfaithfulness to the or
ganization. We learn, however, that old Buck
is determined to stand by the Collector, and
~justifes himself in SO doing by pointing to the
action of the Democratic County Convention
of Lucas County, last fall, which endorsed
Potter's democracy and recommended him to the
Democracy of this District as a suitable person
to represent them in Congress. That's what
we call bringing the thing home to roost.-
Napoleon NOrh Hest.
BG-Old Buck generally carries the thing
home to those who make issue with him. Such
has been his custom Hof an afternoon" during
his whole life; and yet some politicians are
only just beginning to see and realize the fact.
So many conflicting rumors have reached US
touching the causes of the rejection of Judge
POTTER, that we have forborne comment upon
the transaction. That Senators were deceived
by some extraordinary misrepresentation, we
are firmly convinced. We have known Judge
POTTER more than twenty years-and with
the exception of his support of Judge Doua-
LAS, and some utilization with his schemes in
1s50-'52, there is no spot upon either his po-
litical or moral character. He fully redeemed
himself by the cordial support he gave Mr..
1856, and by the subsequent steady support he
has given to the measures of his Administra-
ton. We have every confidence that the Sem
ate will yet do the Judge justice by confirm
ing his. nomination,

IT is TRUE?-The Defiance Democrat learns
that the Southern Michigan R. R. Co. proposes
the abandonment of the Air Line Road through
Fulton and Williams counties, and to transfer
the iron aud other moveables to the Dayton
and Michigan Road, to aid in the completion
of that Road from Lima to Toledo. How true
this is, we do not know. That the completion
of the d. & M. Road is determined on, and
that the S. NJ. is interested therein, we learn
by the following from the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaL:-Napohon North Vest.
1t is understood that the Directors of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Company have
assented to a proposition to take two or three
hundred thousand dollars in the bonds of the
Dayton & Michigan (Toledo) Company, payable
freight earnings on traffic originating on the
D. & NJ. line. The Michigan Southern Com
pany has already subscribed for a considerable
amount or these bonds, and the formal sanction
of the scheme by the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Company will form a basis of credit to
obtain the iron and equipment needed,
