Resolved That hereafter, no night scavenger

Sudden Dedth.--0n Tuesday morning last, a
woman named Mary Ann Briefly was found dead
in her bed, in Brandywine Village. Mrs. Bril-

usual, found to his horror that life was extinct.
She retired to bed as usual on the night pre-
vious, in apparently good health, and her de.
mise is therefore as melancholy as it was sud-
den. She was about 81 years of age, and
highly respected by neighbors and friends. Her
loss will be seriously felt by her bereaved fam
lily. Coroner Boys was called to hold an in

DR.. Miller, who gave it as his opinion that de-

The PooR OLD MAS.--rresident Buchanan
has sent message to Congress, denying the
power of that body TO make the investigation
in which he appears in such an uncnviable
light. He does not attempt to refute the
charges made against him, but throws himself
upon his dignity and asks Congress, in suppl-
eating tones, to spare his grey hairs. This is
the most humiliating spectacle that has ever
been presented to this country. An old grey
headed man is elected to the highest office in
the gift Of the American people-he entdfs
upon the discharge of his duties under the
most favorable auspices that ever any man
took the Presidential chair. The future is, all
bright before him; and prosperity and long
cherished hopes were to be realized. What is
the case No sooner than he has fairly got
possession of the power and influence of the
Government, than he begins to put on royal
airs; assumes prerogatiyes that do not belong
to freemen, proscribes his friends, and finally
ends in being virtually impeached before Con-
gress, for bribery and corruption. What les
son to newly inaugurated President viii
men in high station never learn political hon
esty! viii they still plod on their way through
corruption until they are finally exposed by
the people President Buchanan should have
pursued such political course as would place
him above suspicion, and he would not have
to claim the protection of his grey hairs. A
Democratic President should not only be n
pure man, but he should be above suspicion of
corruption. 1t is Notifying to us as Demo-
crat, to say what we do about the President
But we are determined-if we enter into the
Presidential conhict-not to shoulder the ac-
lions of this incubus; the Democratic party is
not responsible for Mr.. Buchanan's admins
tration if we repudiate it. But if we endorse
it, we become equally as culpable as the adj
ministration itself, and should be held account
able for its actions.

LATER FROM TExAs-THR Rio GRASDR FRoy-
TIER.-The Brownsville Flag of the last date
states that the celebrated Mexican bandit, Cor
tina, is still augmentng his forces at La Mesa
and FL Cayutano ranches, although his ennis
saries have been circulating reports that he
had gone to the interior. The Flag adds:
"a respectable force has gone out from
Matamoros for the ostensible purpose Of at
lacking him. and there is rumor here that
they have been defeated. If he should be at
tackled by Mexican troops from the other side,
we hardly think that his victory would be
bloody one.
at is asserted by knowing ones that he paid
Matamoros visit last week.
Speaking of Brownsville, the Flag says Ma
jor lieintzelman, with an efficient force in the
garrison to protect the city leaves the citizens
and authorities at liberty to look to municipal
affairs.
