MIR. Rnchnnnn swindled

The President has been swindled financially,
according to the Washington States of satur
day, which says.
Yesterday afternoon the President of the
United States gave an indorsed draft on bank
ing-house in Philadelphia for the sum of ST. O0O
to a messenger for deposit in Riggs d Co.
Bank. The messenger started for the bank
aud proceeded down on the inside walk of the
grounds toward the State Department. When
near it he was accosted by very polite un.
assuming gentleman, with the inquiry as tC
where he might find the Navy Department.
The messenger kindly informed HIM, when the
stranger began TO remark on the beauty of the
buildings, grounds DC, and, after minute s
conversation, proceeded on his errand to the
bank, the stranger at the same time preceding in
the other direction. On arriving at the bank the
messenger found the draft 10 be missing. 1t
Immediately occurred to him that it had been
ahstracted from his hahd by the fellow who ad-
dressed him at the Department which SOON"
nnw 30 he d fact. The sharper has not been
seen since, and probably left the city in some
OF the outgoing trains or boats last evening.

Kunsas Constitutional Election

The election in Kansas on the 7th inst foI
Delegates to a Convention 1T Wyandotte in
July next to form State Constitution. was
sharply contested, the Republicans and Demo.
Gratis being in the field with tickets in all the
counties, and resulted in the election of a ma.
jorty of three Republicans, according to tele-
graph report
letter from Lawrence, June 9Th, states that
nearly $50 votes were polled in that city, OF
which only one-fifth were Democratic. In
Leavenworth county the Democrats obtained
nearly 500 majority. The election will be con-
tested in the Convention, on the ground of
illegal voting. The old frauds appear to have
been re-enacted Men were imported quietly
and secretly into the county from Missouri, and,
aided by the soldiers aud Government employ
ees from Fort Leavenworth, together with a
free use of Federal funds, the Democrats OBJ
tanned temporary success In the Conven-
tion the matter will undergo thorough inves-
tgaton, and if what is alleged should be sus-
tanned by proof, the Republicans will get their
seats.

WHAT STREET RAILROADS ARE Dome IN
PmLADELrHn.-The following extract from a
Philadelphia paper, shows what is being done
10 that city by these great civic improvements
Ia every way the matter can be viewed, the in
atitution OF Street Railroads will be blessing
and great benefit to the working classes
Location is nothing now, for there Is no place
out of the reach of a railway. To the laborng
cIatses these railways have proved an inestima-
bic blessing, giving work 20 many thousands
of industrious persons who otherwise would
have been idle. Track layers, street pavOrs,
carriers, engineers, drivers, conductors hOstleTs,
clerks, starters, lumbermen, car-builders aud
whole host Of others, have found in them per.
feet mine of work for good pay So i'm por.
tant has the business become, that large mer-
camille houses have been established here mere
ly to furnish supplies Of lumber, rails, etc Be
lore these lines OF railway were constructed
here, ali our Omnibuses were built ia Newark
or Troy, scarcely a single one being made here
Now all the passenger cars Of which there are
hundreds, are of Philadelphia make, except
few from Wilmington, Del
They are destined TO save the city govern
ment many thousands of dollarl in the item of
repairs TO streets, as each Company now keeps
permanently employed gang Of men TO repair
the streets along its line of railway So far,
the omnibuses have not disappeared about
half Of them still holding on, despite the i'm
mense odds against them They manage to
keep good business by running at three cents,
while the cars charge five.

The Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal says that there was great flourish
Of trumpets over the establishment ofthe Over
land Mail Routes bys the Administration and
they were claimed as a Democratic measure
But since Mr.. Buchanan has begun to econo
mise in order to purchase more Of the sandy
deserts of Northern Mexico, these mail routes
are found rather expensive. It is announced
with expressions Of regret, that the account be-
tween the Overland Mai Company and the Post
Office Departmental stand thus at the close Of

The Europa has arrived with dates to the
4th. Palestro has been captured by the Sar-
dnians, King Emanuel commanding in person
and exhibiting the greatest galantry The
Austrians twice attempted to re.take Palestro,
but were repnlsed after sanguinary struggles.
The Sardinian reports say that they captured
1000 prisoners and guns.
The SIrdinian bulletin dated Turin, May
9lst says-A fresh victory has been gained by
our troops. AT seven O'Clock in the morning a
force Of $4,000 Auslrians endeavored to re-take
Pdlestro. The King of Sardinia commanding
the fourth division ia person, and Gen Cadni
at the head of the third regiment of Zouaves re-
sisted the attack for considerable time, and
then having successfully assumed the often
sive pursued the enemy, taking a thousand
prisoners aud eight guns, four of which were
obtained by the Zouaves. Five hundred Aus
trians we're drowned in canal during the bat
tie.
Another battle took place at Confrenzs, in
the province of z1meline, in which the enemy
were repuIsed by the division under Gen Forey
of the first corps OF .he French army, after two
hours conflict
A second victorious battle occurred at six
o'c'ck last evening at Palestro. The enemy
endeavorcd TO re-euter tae town, but we're re-
pulsed by the division under Gen Cialjini, COM
posed of the Zouaves and Piedmontese cavalry.
The King pressed forward when the fight was
most furious, Z1uaves vainly endeavoring to
restrain the enemy.
On Tuesday the Austrans attacked the Sar-
diuian vanguard at zsstro Cslende, and after a
fIht of two hours our troops pursued the enc.
my across the Tieino.
The details of the battles of Paestro say
that the Sardinians we're at one time outaank
ed by the Austrans, who threatened the bridge
of boats across tho Sesa, over which General
CanrObert was 10 effect junction with the
King At this time the Zouaves lost one officer
and twenty men killed. and the Sardinians two
hundred killed, including ten officers
The Austrians have evacuated Varo in the
province Babbio, and a picket of Auslrians
endeavored to cross the Pc at Cerrissa-
ria, bat they were repulsed by the inhabitants
of that vicinity.

Raset of the battle Of n1ontebellO.

The Paris correspondent of the Evening Pest
writes that it has leaked out, through the talk.
ativeness of one of the Imperial family here,
that the French were surprised, and hence the
comparatively limited force with which they re-
sisted the attack of Marshal Stadion, and the
terrible slaughter sustained by them, amount
ing to deo.mation But the loss seems small
when one reflects that the effect is almost as
decisive as ifthere had been a general engage
ment; and it seems to have been so regarded in
England, where the funds became decidedly
frmer upon the receipt of the news. It has
put Austria on retreat towards her own terri
tories, and in connection with the other move
ments of the allies, is compelling her to con-
centrate her forces and prepare for a decisive
engagement. 1t is in that point of view, /
presume, that the battle of Montebeo is con
sidered as favorable, rather than otherwise, to
an early peace.

AN IMPORTANT TAX DEcfsIoN.-In making
their rtums for taxation the Life Insurance
Companies have claimed the right to deduct
from their aggregate the amount Of outstanding
policies as SO much of a debt against The Com.
pany. County Auditor Matthews took a diff
ierent view, and notified them to list the full
amount of cash on hand. One of the Com.
panics appealed to the State Auditor, who sus.
tains the view taken bp the County Auditor -
lie claims that it is not debt against the Com
pany, except upon a certain contingency
that of the death of the person whose life is
insured-lnd can then be deducted from the
aggregate return.

From every quarter of the South, we are in
formed that this question of protection Of siaDery
in the Terrific les will be made an issue before
the Charleston Convention as an article in the
platform OF the party. The denial or evasion OF
it will involve the party in hopeless defeat at
the South. The Convention will, in our opinion,
meet the issue, and, upon the Dred Scott decis
ion, affirm the duty OF Congress to protect rights

Ny DEAR SIR :-0f late have received very
little political intelligence from home and 10
the depression of prOtracted disability, have
hardly missed it, but to-day, ] have been glad
dened and strengthened 10y the news that the
people Of Wisconsin have elected Judge OF
the Supreme Court ON the issue distinctly pre-
sented, that it is the duty OF the State to throw
the protection of its process around all within
its borders. Better news for freedom never,
in the long line of history reached this ancient
capital. Wherever 60 | feel the new infu-
euce, and the venerable monuments about me
flash for the moment with the brightness of
youth. God uless the people of Wisconsin,
who know their rights, and knowing dare
maintain them God bless the cause To the
people, and the cause, an American citizen, far
away in foreign land, sends the best wishes
Of his heart.
In this event, hail the certain beginning of
new ord of things IN our country Trial
by jury, habeas corpus, and the other safeguards
of the rights of all, struck down by tie pre-
posterous and tyrannical pretensions of slavery,
under the national constitution, will again be
come realities. A happy day it will be for the
peace aud good name of the Republic, when
this is achieved Meanwhile, Wisconsin has
Dobly set the example, which older States must
follow. The end cannot be doubtful

very faithfully yours,
