A DESPERATE CoNvIcT SHoT.-Wm. Lynch,
convict in the Maryland Penitentiary, in
Baltimore, whose refractory conduct had COM
PEELED the prison officers to make him carry a
ball and chain for some time past. refused to
work last Monday, and threatened to kill any
person Vi no would approach him. Upon the
officers attempting to seize him, he lifted the
iron ball, weighing thirty pounds. and assault
ed them, when one of the officers fired at him
the ball entering his abdomen, and lodging in
the groin. The wound Is mortal. The Sun
gives sketch of his preceding career, of
which the following is synopsis At the age
of 10, while an inmate of the Philadelphia
House of Refuge, he set fire to that institution
for which he served out sentence of IA years
in the Eastern Penitentiary. He then went to
New York, where he was soon arrested for
theft, convicted, and served four years in the
Sing Sing State Prison. Soon afterwards he
was tried and convicted of piracy in New Or
leans, La. and sentenced to death, but the
sentence was commuted to Imprisonment for
life. In four years afterwards he was pardon
ed and went to Baltimore, where he married,
and soon after was arrested, tried and convic-
ted for assaulting his wife with intent to KILL
For this he was sentenced to the Maryland
Pententiary for seven years and six months,
in February, 1857, and was serving out this
sentence when his career was stopped as sta
ted above.

On Monday of last week, during the terrible
tornado which visited so large a section of
country, number of trees were blown across
the track of the Parkersburg branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. About the time
the night train was due. an old farmer, near
the line of the road, discovered a large tree
directly across the track, at point where an
accident must prove very destructive. He
Immediately collected wood and started bon
fires in the road upon both sides of the fallen
tree, and lighting torch, he proceeded in the
direction OF the approaching train, while his
two sons went to work and cleared the track
before the train got up.

The House of Representatives has done the
handsome thing in ejecting Mr.. Barrett and
admitting Mr.. Blair as the member from the
st. Louis district. Mr.. Blair was undoubtedly
fairly elected by the people, but was defraud-
ed of the return by resort to the tricks SO
we'll known and so often practiced by the ad-
ministration democracy. Justice has at last
been done by admitting him to his seat, and
Mr.. Barrett has leave to keep company, out in
the cold, with Cooper, who was lately ousted
from seat for the Detroit district obtained
by similar frauds.

SHARP.-Ex-Governor Seymore, of N. Y ork,

party would wish to deny him.

OUR STEALING AND ALL WILL COME RIGHT.-In
the United States Senate a few days since, Mr..
Hammond, of South Carolina, advocated the
restoration of high rates of postage, on the
ground that the Post office Department does
not pay expenses. OF course it does not when
democratic" Post-masters steal at the rate of
S150,0O0 apiece. Wouldn't it be better to
stop the stealing than to add to the taxes of
people7 Or, what would be best of all, why
not abolish the Department altogether and
leave the carrying of letters and newspapers
altogether to private enterprise 2 Now that
the Democrats are about to go out of pow
er, they can afford to inaugurate so thorough
and SO wholesome a reform.

FOSTER AND THE TARIFF.-We see it stated
that Gen. Foster, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of this State, is at Washington,
begging Democratic Senators to pass Morrill's
tariff bill, as the only means which will secure
his election this fall. Are we to have another
Kane dodge9 1t is said, however, that the
Senators see but little chance to secure the
vote of our State, and, therefore, have deter
mined to let the tariff slide for the present.
Meanwhile the industrial interests of the coun-
try will continue to suffer until the election of
Lincoln, when we may look for a change in
the present order of things.

The Democratic papers are circulating a
charge that Mr.. Lincoln voted against grating
supplies for the army during the Mexican war.
The same charge was made by Douglas in 1858,
and Mr.. Lincoln himself, in his famous debate
with that gentleman, fatty contradictod the
assertion made, in the following language:
'sI did oppose the preamble to the war bill,
declaring that war existed by the act of Mex
ico-because it was not true; but / voted
for all the supplies to the soldiers, &c. The
record proves this fact"
If further evidence is wanting, persons can
satisfy themselves by examining the published
reports of these debates, or by the official re-
cord in the Globe, that the charge is totally
contrary to fact.

THE FOWLER DEFALcATIoN.--It appears, from
the answer of the Post master General to the
Inquiries of Congress, that the Post-office De-
partment was all the time conscious of the de-
falcation of Fowler, and neglected or refused
to make it known. His accounts have never
legally been settled during the whole term Of
the present administration, but have been ad-
justed by a fictitious system, in fragrant viola
tion of the letter and spirit of the law. 1t has
been the practice Of the Auditors office in
adjusting the accounts during the last three
years, when balance was found against Fow-
Ter at the end of quarter, instead of requir-
ing it to be paid, or reporting it to the Post
master Generals the law contemplates--to
credit him from the current returns of the en-
suing quarter made to the Finance office !;
thus enabling him to use the receipts of one
to meet the deficiency of the other, and con-
cealing defalcation throughout. In this
way, the accounting officers of the government
have become partners in the guilt Of this rob-
berry. They not only knew of it, but helped
to cover it up; and the administration, in
stead of removing them, retains them in Of
flee, as good and faithful servants. How ma
ny other defalcations are concealed in the
same way, the administration of "Honest Old
Abe" alone will be able to reveal.

New KANSAS DoDGE.-The Senate, on Tues
day the 9th June, by vote of 81 to 33, refus-
ed to take up the bill for the admission of
Kansas. Every vote In the Affirmative was Re.
publican, except two, Messrs. Pugh and Lat
ham, and every vote in the negative Demo-
cratic, even Bigler voting no, on the ground
that the Senate was not full, and yet, all but
four Senators were present! By the procee-
dings of that body, it will be seen, we are to
have new dodge. The majority dare not
vote the bill down; but they intend to amend
it by altering the boundaries of the State so as
to include the Pixies Peak region, and sub
mitting the constitution to a new vote of the
,people-alihough neither the people of Kan
sas nor Pixies Peak desire it, because they
are isolated from each other by some hundreds
of miles of desert. By this movement they
expect to keep Kansas out until after the Pres
idential election; and we have no doubt, that
the end aimed at will be attained. Kansas
will not be admitted at this session, and the
Democratic party must take the responsible
ty of the exclusion.
