Old whigs An Bad Company.

The condition Of things at Charleston must
be rather trying to the equanimity of such old
Wings as joined the Democratic party to get
rid Of the ''irTeprsssible conflict and save the
Union. A number fro Il the North are dele
gates to the Convention. Caleb Cushing, the
President, was an ''ultra Whig" few years
ago Among the lesser lights are Mr.. Farley of
Maine, Mr. Spinola of New York, Mr.. Wright
Of New Jersey, and Mr.. Randall of Pennsylva-
MIA. Josiah Randall, the principal mOnth-piece
Of the Pennsylvania delegation, was recently
chief Of the Keystone Wings. He has been
badly sn-bbed in Convent n by some ofthe old
Democratic leaders for his new born zeal and
forwardDess. Such Wings aud Union-saEers
are now realizing the reward of being caught in
bad comPsny-the most intensely sectional
mobOcracy, and heartiest slavery agitatOrs the
country was ever afflicted with.

How the Public Pluudor was Used.


The Covode Committee has had before it Mr..
Bean, Of Ohio, editor and proprietor of the
Fremont Messenger, and in 1858, Clerk under
Mr. Allen, the Clerk Of tue House. Mf. B.
had charge of the newspaper desk. We clip
fIom bis testimony as follows:
Odd you receive a check from Cornelius
Wendell for $4,000 shortly before the passage
of the English bill, and il SO for what purpose
was it applied What was the consldera-
toni
Al did receive check for $5 900, and the
consideration was my services towards the set
clement of the Kansas difficulty. This was
just before the Conference Committee on the
Kansas question was raised. The money was
applied TO my own private purposes.
It will be recOllected that two Ohio members
supported LeeOmptOn under circumstances APP
parently looking to reward, and tho Committee
thought the money was applied to influencing
the vote Of certain members of Congress. Mr..
Bean, however, stated that no money went into
their hands, and that he ussd it himself for his
private use. The incOrruptible Democrat even
swsars that it did not influence him!

MORE CRIME.


New YoRK, May !.
The inquest on the body of q female who was
found gagged and sunk with a barrel Of pitch al
the York street dock, on the l4th Of April last
was concluded last night 81 Jersey City.
The remains were fully identified as those Of Ads
R chardson, wife Of young man known as Boston
Charley, who stated that he had not lived with hi:
wife for over two years; that she had resided al
the Brandreth House, st. Dennis, aud ott places
living fast life. =
These facts were communicated to Deputy Car
penter and furnished clue to the officers 70 work
upon, and by which means they tracked Mrs. Rich
ardsOn for q period Of over two years, during
which time she lived magnificent style at the st
Dennis, next at the house Of doctor 10 As.oI
Place, thence to the st. Julien Hotel, next to q
private house In University Place. from there to
the La Farge House, whence she went on board
the steamship CahaWbs, on the 18th OF January, for
New Orleans, which was the last positive infOrma-
tiOn they had Of her.
The hotel books revealed the fact that a wealthy
Young gentleman Of formerly high standing in the
community had paid Mrs. Richardson's hotel bills;
the rooms and board amounting TO about $40 per
week From another source Il is reported that
this gentleman attempted to sever bis connection
with Mrs R as her demands upon him for money
were becoming more aud more exOrbitant, soE1o-
times compelling him to furnish her with 500 or
$500 at time, in order 70 prevent exposure, and
that the total sum in two years extorted from him
ia this manner amounted to nearly S2OO From
this fact it was thought that there was sufficient
motive for the commits Of the crime. This gen
tleman was induced TO 90 to Jersey City. and upon
seeing the head Of the female he at once exclaim
ed, That is Mrs, Richard SON. he was then
required to enter into bonds TO appear as q Wit
ness, but tor some cause was not present last
night,

mobbIna RepublIeanlsm In Bal,Imore.

mosbinH AepuOnennism in Ba!timOres
RePublicanilm has considerable foothOld in
Maryland, and the telegraph gave brief aO-
count of the mObbing OF the Republican State
Convention recently held in one of the Halls
of the city of Baltimore Montgomery Blair,
son of The venerable F. P, Blair, Sen, editor of
the Globe in the palmy days of JactsOnism,
presided. As soon as the Convention fairly
commenced business, the Democratic and Plug
Ugly outsiders made q rush and upset the
Secretaries table, tore up the papers, and liter
ally drove out the members. Mr. Gunison, one
Of the delegates, was the special object Of the
fury of the mob. Lynch him, )" chang him, F"
&c, was the cry, and be had TO flee and take
refuge IN the Marine Bank for safety. Tie
police seized some Of the ring-leaders, and at
one time the fight was lively between the
officers and the disturbers Of peaceable as
semblage OF the citizens Of Maryland. The
Convention subsequently met at another place,
sat with closed doors and appointed delegs-
ton to Chicago, headed by that staunch Re-
publican, Francis P. Blair, of Silver Spring.
Baltimore has won an unenvisble reputa>
tiOn for Plug Uglyim, and this instruction of
the Hubieranean element against the light of
free discussion and Of citizens to assemble for
pelideal purposes, will only add to that dis
grace. Republieanism cannot be crushed out
by rufianism. Democracy should have learned
this long ago.

RumOred RemOval Of the Holy See.

A New York letter to the Washington Con
stitutiOn, says that Archbishop Hughes is to be
made Cardinal next October, and adds, The
will be the first American Cardinal. Had Bish-
Op England, of South Carolina, lived, he would
have been a Cardinal"
The same writer then goes on to speak Of
Cardinal Hughes, as the future Pope--nOt Of
Rome-5ut OF the Romish Church. He sIys:
In making Archbishop Hughes a Cardinal,
the Pope is actuated by motives that lie deep
iD his bosom. Is is seriously whispered that If
he is deprived of political power at Rome, he
will wipe from his sandals the dust of that city,
and remUve the Holy See, to some place in the
West-say st. Louis, MissOuri--where his
agents are said to have secured immense guam
titles of land. The Pope may not live TO carry
out his plan, hence he wishes a successor who
has energy, geEius, will and knowledge of the
Continent That successor he has determined
shall be Archbishop Hughes To become Pope
he must FIRST become Cardinal, and this will be
ACCOMPLISHED this year.

A Nut for the Abolitionists.

The Chicago correspondent of the presbyterian--a clergyman-relates the following:
 Before I close, let me relate an incident which occurred during the late sessions of the Synod in Chicago. An anli-slavery convention, of the Dr. Cheever stripe, was sitting in Chicago at the same time. A gentleman of this city, with whom one of our professors was slightly acquainted, accosted him one morning; "Well, doc tor. were you in the convention last even- ing 2" |" No, sir; l do not belong to that stripe" (here great surprise was manifested by the gentleman, but, if had been there, I should have offered one additional resolution" Ah! indeed ; what would that be g" Resolved, resumed the doctor, That when we getto heaven we will not sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for they were once slave. holders!" This was enough. The gen. tleman passed on, concluding, doubtless, that he had mistaken his man.

 LoAFERs Stock every light" Since boarding houses and hotels demand advance payments'' for the privilege of eating, sleep ing and sitting around the fire, the ''stock'' has become quite s'stale and flat" Loafers weigh ing above i30 lbs. charged extra for eating and sleeping apartments. E
 BELL L-RINGERs - Stock has become so tslght'' that 'sfast" ringing of chureh-bells has become "slow' and reasonable.
 UPPER CRUST. An article not known in the market since "Madame Rumor' denied being the author of certain vague and "mean reports.n
 MuD,-Marbet glutted--not room enough for s'short foot"
 PAYEmENrs.-The few on hand are s'under foot" Brick are in demand at ''reduced price,. The kind certain men ''carry in their hats" won't answer-they have too much strychnine in them.
