Frightful Accident---AY Young
Lldy Killed,

The Belmont Chronicle reports that an
accident of a fearful and melancholy char
acter,by whichthe life OF anestimable young
lady was suddenly and violently termina-
ted, occurred on the road between New
Athens, and Flushing, last Thursday
The young lady, Miss Rhoda Hendershott,
was returning from the commencement ex
ercises of Franklin College, at Athens, IN
company with gentleman-both upon
horseback. In passing along strip OF
woodland, the horse the lady was riding
became frightened and commenced running
with her, and the gentlemen, thinking his
horse moving at her side would tend to
still increase the excitement of her horse,
checked his up. The animal upon which
the lady was mounted continued to dash
along the highway at a fearful rate, and,
increasing the speed, the lady was thrown
backwards from the saddle, and it is sup
posed was kicked by the horse in falling.
She survived the accident but twenty eight
hours, and was inferred in the Friends
burning ground at Flushing las: Saturday.

Dayton, Ohio, March l6, 1861.

g We have noted the finding, near
Toronto of the body of Mr.. ]. S. Hogan
a member of Parliament who had been
missing for more than year.
1t has row been pretty well ascertained
that he was murdered Before the body
was found the police of Toronto received
letter from Sheriff of one the counties
in New York saying that prisoner in
custody had confessed to a murder some
time previously near the Don river. But
it was supposed the confession was made
to evade punishment of crime for which
the prisoner was then in Jail, and therefore
was not deemed TO be of Importance
When Mr.. Hogan's body was found, at the
mouth of the Den, the letter was remem-
bered and the haJitues, male and female,
of vile place called Brooks Bush were
arrested. One Of the women revealed the
murder of Mr.. Hogan giving all the details,
by which it appeared that when Mr.. Ho-
gan was on his way of an evening TO see a
friend, he was decoyed by woman from
the main road, there attacked by the crew
in ambush, ropped of his money and death
resulting from his wounds, his body thrown
into the river.

DisrRrcTrNG THE STATE.-By provision of
the Constitution of Ohio, it is made the duty
Of the Governor, Treasury and Auditor of State
to apportion the State for members of the Gen.
eral Assembly every ten years after 1887. The
manner in which it is done, is, by dividing the
whole number of Inhabitants of the State BY
the number thirty-fve, the quotient being the
Senatorial ratio, -fourths of which entitle
district to one Senator. The l7th District j.
formed by Knox and Morrow, and falls below
the requisite number for Senator. In such cast
the Constitution provides that the district shall
be attached to the adjoining district having th.
lowest number of inhabitants. The Twenty,
eighth District, which is formed by Wayne and
Holmes, has the next lowest number of inhabi-
tants, and the result will be that the Knox and
Morrow and Wayne and Holmes districts,
will be thrown together. and thus form one
De mocratic Senatorial District.
By the above statement it will be seen the
Constitution works well for the party that FORM
ed it; but to those who like to see Republican
principles prevail, the new arrangement W i'll not
be very gratifying.
At the last Presidential election there was In
these four counties, a majority of all sorts and
kinds over the Republican party of 554 Won't
this arrangement however. spoil that of some Of
the aspirants to Senatorial honors in this coun.

Our Relations wilh Spain.

H. ]. Perry, writing from Madrid on
the 1st OF March, gives the following i'm
portaut information of the friendly feeling
toward US of the people and Government
of Spain:
l have received repeatedly, from person
ages in power, the assurance that, with a
change Of policy on our part, the whole re-
strictive system impending our CONNER
cial intercourse with Cuba would be re-
moved. l have been consulted whether
the abolition of this discriminating duties
upon the flour ard grain in Cuba could no,
be combined with reduction of our own
duties on the ordinary cheap wines of Cas-
tile, as partial compensation for the de-
struction of its -four trade with the colonies.
POLICY TOWARD SPAIN.
And an indication of readiness to aban.
don the flour duties and the whole restrict
i've commercial system in Cuba has been
recently repeated to me in many quarters
which leaves no doubt that the obtaining
of these results still depends principally
upon ourselves. A policy of good faith
and good neighborhood on the part of our
government toward Spain is necessary, and
any act or measure of the Government OF
the United States which would convince
Spain Of such change of policy at home
might now be expected 10 be followed
by such results here. Without pretend.
ing to speak for the Spanish government
or any member Of it, or to be able to an
ticipate in any way its ideas or its actions
on this or any other subject do mean to
say and to repeat that this is my we'll
founded conviction, and more-that I haz-
ard little in stating it. Let such a policy
be adopted, and intelligently and honestly
represented here, and the result may BE-
anticipated with confidence.
PRESENT CONDITION OF SPAIN.
The rapid and wonderful increase of ma
terial prosperity in Spain, the no less rapic
growth of liberal ideas and principles il
politics, have led Spanish statesman tt
look upon the old financial and Commercial
systems of this country as imperfectly
adapted to the necessities and interests o
the present day, and they would not be yer.

AS TO the sympathies of Spain in GU
present questions at home,I am competen
to speak. The masses of the Spanish peo
pie, though they understand little of GU
interior politics, are in sentiment friendl
10 the United States, which name signife
to them the example and practical exis
tence of their own dreams of liberty an,
political well being. Their sympathies ar
sure for the flag and government whicl

The Fugitive Slave Anderson.

The fugitive slave Anderson, who has
played SO important part in recent Can
adian judicial history, made short speech
at Montreal, detailing the history of his
life in slavery. He said:
1 served my master, who sold my moth
err, for fifteen years after that event. My
Masters wife was Kentuckian, and gen.
tie, kind woman, and after her death was
worse treated. She influenced her hus-
band favorably. l never had chance to
learn TO read in my boyhood. l attended
the Methodist church, but worshiped in a
different building from my master. Could
not exactly tell why my master began to
treat me i'll. He blamed me for "laking'
things, and I got stubborn. l was mar
ried when "a years of age, but it did moi
last long. My master would get his rope
to tie me when l wanted to see my wife
then l would resist, when he would go for
his gun to shoot me. l was sold for ST.
600 to a man who treated ME very well,
but wanted me to take another wife. / at
last made up mind to leave slavery and go
to Canada.

Secretary Chase's Capabilities.

When the new Administration came in.
Secretary Chase found five millions of
dollars Of certificates of deposit awaiting
the issue of the Loan stock last .e5iously
bid for. The balance Of this was issued
last week-psr contra, the acceptances of
bids for the new loan were received in New
York on Wednesday last, and one million
sixteen hundred thousand dollars of the
stock has been already issued by the De-
partment-the certificates of deposits be
ing received in the morning and the stock
issued to the bidders for full amount the
same day. This promptness will continue
to characterize each days Transactions
There has never been uything approaching
this celebrity in the history of the Govern

the pressure of appointment and other bu-
mess.
THE SOUTHERN COMMISSIONERS VIEWS.
Lieutenant Talbot is expected here to-
morrow night, with dispatches from Major
Andersen.
In conversation last night, Crawford, one
of the Commissioners from the Southern
Confederacy, said he anticipated only peace,
and declared that he spoke advisedly insay-
ing that the Confederate States desired
nothing else. But if Lincoln did not de-
sire peace, they were prepared to accept
whatever was in store for them. That
they would open civil war rather than sub
NIT to coercive execution of any law of
this Government, and should maintain their
independence at all hazards. He claims
that the Confederate States Government
is growing in strength daily, and can afford
to await peaceably for the developmdnt of
Lincoln's policy. To-day he again declared
his conviction that there was nothing in the
rumors of warike movements by the Ad-
ministration.

II The telegraph reports the choice. by the
Kansas Legislature, of JAMES 81. LANE and S. c.
PoMERor,- as United States Senators from the
new State, for the full term of six years from
the 4th of March last. Both are ardent Reprb-
lieans. LANE may be appropriately styled the
guerilla chieftain of the Kansas Republican war
He is man Of prodigious force of will, and
possesses some commanding qualities, although
all have not implicit confidence in his character
for integrity.
His election places two LANES in the Senate
both of military antecedents-Col. HENRY S.
LASEofIndiana, having just taken his seat. The
other LANE-he of Oregon has seeded.
Mr. PoMERoY is man much esteemed by
those who know him. for probity and business
efficiency. Neither of the two Senators elect is
possessed of brilliant powers Of intellect, but
they will fill their seats quite as respectfully as
several others-North and South-who have
been many years in the Senate.
This accession increases the Republican
strength in the present Senate TO 81 members
which, with fourteen seeded, gives the Admin
istration party a clear majority of 3 in that
body.

Secession is evidently gaining ground

traitors, has issued secret circular calling
together the secessionists at Richmond on

What Does il ALL Mean.

If we knew we would tell. Our belief
is, it means that the Government intends
to retain what positions the Federal forces
now occupy-including Sumter-and to
be prepared for whatever "turns up." The
activity on land and on ship board cannot
be denied. ain time of peace prepare for
war; is good motto at this time, and as
Ito human vision) war is inevitable, it
would be criminal negligence not to place
the country on war footing.
We presume an attempt will be made
to throw food-at least-into Sumter.
There is no pressing necessity to put more
men there, for should the rebels open fire,
soldiers could be sent the Charleston long
before the little garrison would 0e worn out.
Texas is now in utmost peril, within
and without. Traitors at home, and Mex
leans and Indians hoveriag around her bor-
ders 1t is probable many of the troops
now embarking are only adapted to land
service. Gov. Houston may have asked
for Federal troops to resist Mexicans and
Indians, and surely 1t would be Convenient,
If ne intends to reassert his authority, to
have Uncle Sans boys near him. The
troops that were surrendered by the infa-
NOUS Iwiggs are coming North, as there
no doubt was such decentralization in the
Texas forces as to render them of unsafe re
lance in this emergency.
The Government intends. nrobablv

strate whether or not there is true Union

There is one great embarrassment which
the people overlook. 1t is in knowing wba
Army officers 10 trust. Unfortunately ou
exclusive education of officers at Wes

The Disposition of Sam Houston.

The fact that as Gen. Houston refused to
take the oath of allegiance prescribed by
the Convention of Texas, he was deposed,
and entered protest, is already known to
the public. The scene Of his final retire
ment from the Governors office is thus told
by an unfriendly hand in the New Orleans
Delta:
By and by, the deposed Governor came
hobbling into his office-old Sans San ia
cinto wound have broken out afresh, as il
always does on occasions of political trial
Perceiving Governor Clark occupying the
chair, Old Sam addressed him:
"WelI, Governor Clark" giving great
emphasis to the title, "you are an early ri
SER"
ayes, General" replied the Governor
with great stress upon the military title
of his predecessor, 81 am illustrating the
old maxim, the early bird gathers the
worm
"Well, Governor Clark 1 hope you will
find it easier than have found it."
"I'll endeavor to make it so, General by
conforming to the clearly expressed will Of
the people of Texas.
The General, having brought large
lunch basket with him, proceeded to put
up numerous little articles of private prop
erty, and stow them away very carefully
Catching his foot in hole in the carpet
and stumbling, the General suggested to
Governor Clark that the Government

ernor's Office, whereupor the Governor re.
marked that the Executive of Texas would
get along very well without carpet.
Approaching the washstand, the General
called the attention of Gov. Clark to two
pieces of soap-one, the CASTLE soap, was
his own private property; and the other, q
perfumed article, was the property of the
State, and added, "Governor, your hands
will require the very frequent use of this
cleansing article;" whereupon Gov. CLARK
pointing to the washbowl, which was full
OF very black and dirty water, remarked
"General suppose that is the bowl in
which you washed your hands before leav.
ing the Office"
Having gathered up all his duds, ole
Sam made little farewell speech. yer,
much in the style of Cardinal Woolsev de-
declaring his conviction that,as in the past
the time would soon como when Texa,
would call him from his retirement, and b,
hoped Gov. Clark would be rs able to eiy,
as good an account of bis stewardship a
be could now render. Hating at the doc
the Gen. made profound bow,and with al
air of elaborate dignity, said, "Good day
Governor Clark" "Good day, Genera
Houston" was the Governors response
