mcnts, We would believe your assertion il
we did not know the contrary to be true.
Are you not in favor of Catholics being
prohibited from praying any other place
as we'll as in Congress. Does not the
fact that there are more Know. Nethings
than Catholics is your county, account for
your favoring on the former and malign-
ing the latter?
If we were to answer the Chronicle as
we should, we would do it thus: Mr..
Chronicle, don't suffer these old womanish
fears to get the better of your good sense.
To be kept in state of feverish appre-
hension by these little imaginary phantoms
in an evidence of unmanly weakness. The
country is not in half as much danger from
the Catholics as it is from tho Republi-
cans.

The Platform Of the tor
Democracy of California.

There never was body of men more
seriously in earnest in their advocacy of a
great principle than the Democratic
champions of Popular Sovereignty. Their
conduct during the last year abundantly
show this fact; and as time rolls on, we
believe that new evidences of their zeal
and determination will be constantly pre-
sentei. Among other recent manifesto
tions of their fidelity, the action of the
caucus of the anti Lecomptor Democrat
ic members of the California Legislature,
in January last, may be adduced. The
principles they have espoused are well ex-
pressed in the following resolutions
1. That we recognize in the plain
and unmistakable Interpretation of the
Cincinnati platform, the true and only
legitimate test of true National Democ.
racy.
2. That the platform and resolutions
adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention assembled at the city of Sacra.
mento, on the 4th day of August, 1853,
and presid ed over by Hon. Humphrey
Griffith, of Yolo county, are in strict &C.
cordance with Democratic principles.
8. That the principle involved in the
Kansas Nebraska act-that the people o
every State and Territory have the NAL
lenable and exclusive right o. forming
and regulating all of their domestic in
stitutions-lies at the foundation of Dem

THURSDAY, Feb. ~.

Dear Spirit: PHELPS was on yes
terday elected President pro ten,pore of
the Senate. The Senate passed the bill
amending the act relating to juries so that
a tales juror who may have served on
one jury, may be challenged for this cause,
from any subsequent jury during the same
term. The object of the bill is to pre-
vent loafers from hanging about court
rooms for the purpose of being called up
on juries. The bill had before passed
the House
In the House large number of bills
were read and referred. The House
then proceeded to the consideration and
discussion of Mr.. Van Vorhes' bill for the
settlement of the estates of deceased per-
sons. 1t revises all the laws on the sub.
ject, but makes some amendments which
may defeat it. Quite number Of new
bills were introduced. The House not
concluding its morning business, at late
hour took q recess.
The names of several gentlemen have
been announced as candidates for the va.
rious State Offices. VIM. D. Morgan
and VIM. Parr, both of Licking county
have been announced for Auditor, Mr.
G. P. Elson for Lieut.. Governor, and

The Republicans do not seem to bt
stirring much. Their prospects have
been Cons iderably damaged since tht
last election.

Anarchy IN the Illinois Legislature.

The Republicans of the Illinois Legis-
lature have left that body without the
three-fifth quorum required by the State
constitution. They have all gone home
in body, leaving the appropriation bills
for the support of the Republican State
Government not passed. The reason of
this conduct is, that, if they stay, che bill
apportioning the State into legislative
districts will be passed. In order to pre-
vent the majority from ruling, they have
taken the responsibility of blocking the
wheels of government. What the Demo-
cratic majority will do is thus Indicated in
q dispatch to the st. Louis Democrat:
"The speaker states that less than a
quorum can not adjourn sine die, and that
be will sit every day. until January,
1861"

Henry Bevington, being retained by the
Vigilance Committee in Lagrange Coun-
ty and threatend with summary punish

his life he would faithfully reveal all the

One of the leading and most influential
spirits among the band was Silas Cheney
wealthy farmer, who was sent to the
Penitentiary from Wayne County for horse
stealing short time ago, Since his in
generation in the Penitentiary he has
been principally confined to the hospital
by sickness. Great exertion have been
made by his friends to procure a pardon,
and we understand that the only thing
wanting at one time was the certificate oi
the physician; but these disclosures pre-.
clude the possibility of pardon. Re
monstranccs have been forwarded to the
Governor against granting one. and the

Restoration of the Canal Contracts.
The Columbus correspondent of the
Darke County Democrat thus writes:

The Columbus correspondent of the
Darke County Democrat thus writes:
"Another very important measure
touching the interests of the Taxpayers of
the State to the tune of seventy-five
thousand dollars is bill introduced on
Thursday last in the House, by Mr..
Finefrock, for the restoration of the Ca
nal Contracts
"The reputation of these contracts by
the Republicans when they had control
has already proven loss to the State of
nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars, or about seventy-tye thousand an
nually, and God only knows how much
more debt it will incur. ps
THE bill provides that the contracts
be restored to the original contractors,
on certain conditions therein named, thus
relieving the State of burden, which in
the hands of Republican officials, has
been a constant drain. to the tune o.
thousands of dollars per year, upon the
State Treasury, upon which these oficia
menials have grown both fat and sau
cy. ....... .......
"The people desire that the canals b.
placed in other hands, whose. duty ant
interest it will be, without such an enor
nous loss to the State, to keep them il
good repair. This the bill accomplishe
and will unquestionably pass both house
by good round majority"

The Isaphene Allen Tragedy.

Martin Troy. Jr., whose arrest and
discharge we noticed last week, is now
confined awaiting an examination as lu-
natic. '1t
Emily Jackson, who lived with George
V. Foreman at the time Of the murder Of
Isaphene Allen, was brought from Penn
sylvania recently-whether as q witness
or as participator in the murder we do
not know. She now, however, processes
to give all the circumstances connected
with this bloody affair.
1t will be recollec.ed that she has been
heretofore examined as witness on fve
several occasions-at all of which she ex-
culpated Foreman. Now she processes
to tell all about the murder and says she
was present when Foreman did the deed.
She says she had made an arrangement
with Isaphene Allen to leave Foreman's IS
that they were to meet in the evening
at Foreman's spring, and 60 away togeth-
er-that they did so meet-that Fore
man followed her to the spring and when
he found her in company with Isaphene, he
picked up stone and threw it at Isa-
phene, which hit her on the back of the
head and knocked her down--tbat he
afterwards hit her twice or three times on
the head with stone which killed her
that Foreman tried to make her emily
also strike Isaphene with the stone--that
she refused, and that he then threatened
to take her life if she ever disclosed the
affair--and that it was fear of her owl
life that induced her to testify as she ha
heretofore done. What reliance is to b,
placed on this disclosure of Emily Jack

that Emily says she thinks Foreman hat

from the Columbus Journal 22dl
Notes on Rascallty.

We learn that great excitement ex-
lists at the present time in the northeast
ern part of Wayne, and in Holmes Coun-
ties, in this State, on account of the dis
covery of most desperate organized band
of burglars, horse-thieves and counterfeit
ers-reaching from that locality through
to Lagrange County, Indiana The citi-
zens of Mt. Eaton, Wayne County, have
formed avigilance committee, who have
made several arrests, and it is said that q
number of persons, heretofore considered
respectable, are connected with this gang.
John Craven, q farmer living in the neigh
dorhood of Mt. Eaton, is one of those ar
rested.
The information which led to the dis
covery of this gang was elected from a
man by the name of Henry Bevington.-
This Bevington was convicted in Huron
County, some time in 1854, for counter
felt money, on two indictments, five years
each. Through the exertions of his friends
writ of error was carried up to the Su-
preme Court on one of his indictments,
and the case was remanded for new trial
and Governor Medill pardoned him on the
other indictment. He was sent back to
Huron County, and the prosecuting attor-
ney of that county entered a mole in the
case, and Bevington was once more clear
of the meshes of the law.
Instead, however, of pro6ting by his
experience and leading an honest life, be
in company with Silas Cheney, now in the
Penitentiary for horse-stealing, formed
this band-among whom was younger
brother and brother-in-law of Bevington,
To insure safety in their operations, Bev.
ington removed to Lagrange County, In'
diana, which was their headquarters
Not long after its formation, the stores o
M. A. Pinkerton, of Mt Eaton, and Col
Eouel Joss, of Weinesburg, Holmes County
were robbed, and no clue to the burglar
could be obtained. Subsequently severa
horses in the neighborhood of Weinesburl
were stolen, and the thieves were tracke'
and caught.-they proved to be Henr
Bevington, Robert Bevington and Tease
their brother-in-law. They were confne
in the Holmes County Jail, and shortl
made their escape, A requisition wa
obtained from Governor Chase, o

Murder and Bank Robbery at Jackson,
Tennessee.
The Memphis Bulletin of Saturday last
says:
Information was received in this city
last evening, by telegraph, Of horrible
murder committed at jackson, Tennessee,
on Thursday night, connected with which
was the robbery of the branch Union
Bank at that place. The facts, so far as
certained, are that the room of the clerk
of the Bank, Mr.. Geo. E. Miller, adjoin.
ing the bank building, was entered during
the night and Mr.. Miller murdered by
means of hammer, with which his head
was mutilated in most horrid manner,
and the brains of the unfortunate man
scattered over the floor. The keys to
the vaults were under Mr.. Miller's pillow,
from whence they were taken, the bank
vaults robbed and then returned to theil
proper place. The party or parties tc
whom this double crime is chargeable re
main in entire mystery, and as yet no
even suspicion has fallen upon any one.
The murder was not discovered unit
about noon yesterday, when the unpsua
circumstance of the bank remaining close'
to so late an hour aroused suspicion tina
all was not right within, and led to th
discovery of the horrible tragedy. TIL
amount of money stolen is supposed t
be small, Mr.. Mcknight, the cashier. hay
ling left jackson on the day previous fc
this city with all the bills of the institr
tion in his possession, leaving only a lin
