VIM. Pennington and Henry Clay.

A Lexington correspondent of the Cincin~
natl Commercial writes that the election of Mr.
Pennington, of New Jersey, as Speaker, gave
much satisfaction in Lexington, and adds
/ think it was in either Is45 or 1916 that
Henry Clay became embarrassed to such an
extent that he had to mortgage Ashland. In
the meantime, a movement had been started in
New Orleans by some of Mr.. Olay's friends,
that they would pay his debts and relieve him
from his embErassments, and Mr.. A. II. Trot-
ter, the agent of the Northern Bank in New
Orleans, was sent East to confer with Mr. CIay's
friends The consequence was that about fifty
thousand dollars were subscribed, and the Hon.
VIM. Pennington was sent to Kentucky with
the money, and came to Lexington without
scarcely any person knowing him. He walked
into the Northern Bank, asked for Mr.. Scott,
the Cashier ofthe Bank, and upon being shown
that gentleman, asked if there were not several
notes Of Mr.. Clay's that were due in few days,
and was answered that there was. Mr.. Scott
was requested to give the whole amount of
Mr. Clays indebtedness, which was done, and
draft on one of the New York banks was
handed him, and Mr.. Pennington left the bank
with all Mr.. Olay's notes paid. In few days
Mr. Clay came to town to arrange for 3 renewal
of the notes if possible, and was shown in the
side room of the bank. After sitting few
minutes he asked Mr. Scott If there could be
any arrangement to run the notes for longer
time. Mr.. Scott looked at Mr. Clay to see if
he was not jesting, and finding that he was not,
told him that gentleman from New Jersey had
called yesterday and paid all of his indebted
ness. Mr.. Clay started when Mr.. Scott spoke,
looked at him few seconds, burst into tesrB,

Progress Impossible. The GoaI reached
nt Hound!

at q h0uM0i
We call this age ofprogress. Il is so. but in
some departments Of science discoveries have
been made, and practical systems introduced,
which leave nothing 10 be desired in the way Of
improvement and which, in fact, preclude pro-
gress by giving us perfection at tho outset. For
example, when Professor Holloway, some TWEEN
" iye years ago, gave to the world his inesti-
mablo remedies, he seems TO have left nothing
even for himself to achieve, in tho treatment of
human maladics. The progress Of the demand
for his Pills and Ointment has, indeed, been
unparalleled in the history Of medicine; but he
has found no reason 10 alter q single ingredient
or vary a proportion. We therefore class the
sovereign sndidotes for external and internal
diseases with which that distinguished medical
refOrner bas blessed the world, among the in
ventiOns which are perfected at their birth.
Our method ofaTriVing at a correct appTeeia-
ton Of the respective merits Of opposing sys-
TENS is by comparison Now, We have seen
great deal of Whist is called regular practice,
and do not hesitate 10 say that it fails more fire.
quently than it succeeds. This in not the case
with HOlloway's Pills and Ointment In many
instances-sOme Of which should be specified If
space permitted-we have seen these remedies
effected complete and permanent cures, when
eminent members Of the faculty had exhausted
| their repeTtoires without finding anything that
would even alleviate the agonies OF their patti
ents. Testimony confrmatory of our own OBJ
servations on the subject is continually pouring
in from allparts Of the Union, and we cannot
refuse credence alike to our own senses, the
common sense of the public, and the almost
universal opinion of our brethren of the press.
The case as between the Faculty and Profess
Bor Holloway seems TO stand thus: The Facul-
ty have the prestige of antiquity, authority and
usage.
Holloway, on the other hand, is not man of
mouldy maxims Small respect has he for
Gslen and CANNON. He cites no authorities,
save living witnesses and contemporary facts.
A few pages suffice to develope his system and
embyace his simple directions. He denounces
mercury and all corrosive pOisons, and does not
believe that life can be saved by draining its
fountains. Above all, he furnishes the whole
civilized, and no small portion of the semi.
barbarian and savage world, with Pill and an
Ointment, which appear to accomplish all that
the Faculty aim at, bnt in five cases out of six
fail to effect. For diseases of the stomach, the
liver, the bowels and kidneys, as well as for Or
dinaTy pulmonary affections, the Pills are ab-
solute specifics; and the sufferer from external
disorders OF injuries may recover under the op-
Grafton of the Ointment, when nothing else will
save him.-"NOrtherR Express"

Gov. Chnse,s Flscrion.

Though the election of Gov Chase to the
United States Senate by the Legislature of
Ohio was f0regone conclusion, having been
practically settled at the late election, in that
State, the event will be received with no less
qualification by the Republicans of the who'll
Union. BE is not merely man of ability and
experience, but Statesman in every sense of
the term, Of enlarged political views, and al
honest patriot. he will be an honor to the
Senate, and a tower of strength to the Re.

Just been elected. Ohio has done herself last
ing credit by substituting such man for the

chewing gum is carried on at Waterown, Ct.

James stephens, tle VIC PoisOner.

James Stephens was hung in New York on
Friday, for the murder Of his wife. He protest.
ed his innocence to the last, even after the cap
was drawn over his eyes, and professed to die
happy in full religious hope. His case was a
singular one. lie was a native of Cavan, he>
land, about 40 years old, strong in body and
will. just before coming to this country some
thirteen years ago, he married Sophia Bell, his
senior by fifteen years. Two neices Of his vile
subsequently came over, and also stopped in
New York. Stephens becams enamored of one
Of them, and formed the project of getting rid
of his wife by poison. mrs. s. began to be sick
early in September 1857, and Mr. s. would suE-
fer no one to administer medicine to her but
himself. She fingered in great distress some
three weeks, died in frightful oOnvulsions, and
was buried in Greenwood cemetery. Suspicion
was aroused sometime after, and in September
1858 the body was taken up, and large guam
tity of arsenic detected in all her vital organs.
Stephens was arrested in October, 1858, for the
murder, and committed for trial. He Was con-
vleted IN March, 1859, but not executed until
Friday last, owing to var iOus delays. The pris-
onsr assumed the tact and air of much injured
and innocent man to a wonderful degree, and
enjoyed among the members of the church to
which he belonged fine reputation as a man
of pisty and gOdliness. Great efforts were
made to procure respite or pardon, and with
some PrOspec. of success until shortly before
the day fixed for execution. 1t was then dis
covered that he had cut a large hole into the
cell of Felix Sanchez, also under conviction for
murder, and that they had planned an escape
by killing their keepers. Stephens had in his
pocket stout knife and q six barrelsd revolver
well loaded, and Sanchez also had a loaded re.
vOlver. Stephens cOncOcted the plan, and was
furnished with arms by outside friends. Still
be died with 81 am innocent" on his lips.

il Che House Of Delegates Some Of the West
ern Virginia members pitch into the proposed
Southern Conference as second Hartford Con-
veniiOn, ana very Sensibly declare that it is
useless to talk Of disunion and secession for
the purpose Of forming Southern COniederacy
without expecting war The hesitation of Vir-
ginia is equivalent to rejection Of the treason.
Tho reasonable proposition Of South Carolina
has received the prompt and emphatic rebuke
Of the Governor and Legislature Of Maryland.
Gov. Hicks declares that Maryland cannot see
any relief, but only injury, in the establishment
on her borders of foreign asylum for her
fugitive slaves. as would be the effect of dis
solution Of the Union. And only two members
OF the Maryland Legislature were found even
TO apologize for South Cardinals reasonable
design
1t is certain that Maryland, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Missouri, Texas, and
probably Virginia, would resist disunion if the
question were put thus-"UniOn without, or
Disunlon with Slavery" We say Texas, fol
there is growing free labor sentiment and
population in that State, and Gov. Houston
has Indignantly rejected the overture Of South
Carolina to hold Southern Secession Confer
ence. The Union loving Old Hero would tree
such Commissioner as promptly as he did the
despOt Santa Anna.
South Cardinals movement to take secession
steps will do gOOd--it will show who are dis,
unionists and their weakness.

We trust that any discussion of the Acts report
ed in the Legislature by the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Colored Population is unnecessary. We
presume that Mr.. JACOBS himself scarcely expects
them to be approved, and has introduced them
rather to place his own views on record, than in
the expectation that they will accord with the
wishes of the people of this State. Any moderate
measures which were calculated to produce the
results at which Mr.. JACOBS is aiming would have
been generally acceptable but the people who are
prepared to adopt the suicidal and useless scheme
proposed by that gentleman must constitute very
small minority indeed. To drive the free negroes
in one body and at the same moment out of Mary
land is not the way to advance our prosperity;
and to subject the slaves in border State to as
coercive and harsh system as he proposes,
is not the true mode of securing the permanency
of our institutions. We may, with some few adj
ditional guards, maintain the present order of
things, and hope 10 do so, but as surely as
we resort to violent means in order to &C
complish this, ferment will ensue, which can
result in but one end In such case we should
find, in few years, that sweeping change
had been effected in our political condition, and
that not by gradual and wise processes but under
circumstances that would entail upon us ruinous
consequences for many day to come

We understand that call for town meeting,
to express the opposition of the citizens of Balti-
more to the passage of the measure known as the
BROCK City Passenger Railway Bill, headed by
the President of the Board of Trade and the
President of the Corn Exchange, and already nu-
merously signed by our most prominent business
men, is in circulation. We rejoice that public
sentiment, which we believe to be almost unani-
nous here about this matter, is taking this appro-
pirate and definite shape. As suggested in our
Annapolis letter, some public expression here will
doubtless have most happy effect at the seat of
government, where, already, under the lead of
Mr.. GORDON, of Allegany, steps have been taken
to investigate the charges of corruption, preferred
against the Philadelphia party. The call will
soon be published, and an early day fixed for the
meeting.
We also ask attention to the very decided reso
buttons passed by the Democratic Convention, re-
ported on our first page. With such intimaton:
of public sentiment we trust that the Legislature
will at any rate pause before it has rretrievably
committed so great an outrage on public sent
ment in this city as the granting of the BROCK
charter.

The American prelates who have protested
against any dsmemberment of the States of the
Church, have advanced one argument in support
OF their cause, which is, to say the least of it,
traordinary. They rely upon the antiquity of the
PoPE's claim to his dominions in Central Italy,
as a conclusive reply to those who are disposed
now to curail his authority. They point to the
long line Of Pontiffs, who have exercised undis-
puted sway in Rome for many successive centu-
ries, and insist that an order of things which inn
memorial usage has sanctioned, shall never be
disturbed. Such plea as this is no longer valid
even in Europe, and by the people of this country
1t VIII be regarded of little force 1t is not the
flrst nor the hundredth time that this appesl bas
been made, in behalf of princes, nor are the in
stances unfamiliar, in which its cogency has been
denied. Had it not been repudiated by our an
cestors, CHARLES the First, would probably have
died in his bed, and the famous Petition of
Rights would have been as yalueless to England.
