From the Erie Observer


THE Buffalo Courier is incorrect in
saying that "Pennsylvania will elect a
Democratic Governor this fall" We
doubt not that her next choice of per-
son to fill the executive Office will fall up
on one of her Democratic citizens, but
unfortunately for her interests ;nl the
cause Of republican institutions, her
people have not the legal opportunity
to make change in the occupant Of the
position until next year. When they
do obtain the opportunity they willspeak
in tones not to be misunderstood, their
disapprobation of the wickedness and
frauds which have ruled for the pas
five years, and disgracod and injured tht
State almost beyond retribution. The
officers to be elected this fall are an
Auditor and Surveyor General, and
although sufficient time has scarcely
elapsed for the "sober second thought"
of the people to resume sway, our friends
at Harrisburg and Philadelphia express
unbounded confidence in success. AS
the campaign will be looked upon to a
certain extent as indicating the result
next year we expect to see a spirited
canvass.

AN AFFECTING SCENE AT THE

during all of Thursday night by counsel
and friends TO secure a reprieve for Mrs.
Surratt, but President johnson declined
to interfere. About halfpast s o'clock

AS soon as the General made his appear,

knees before him. and catching him by

eyes, implored him to assist her in OBJ.

General Muzzy in tender manner in.
formed Miss Surratt that he could not
comply with her request, as President
Johnsoh's orders were imperative that
he should receive no one. Upon Gen.
Muzzy returning to his Office, Miss 5.
threw herself upon the stairs, where she
remained q considerable length of time
sobbing aloud in the greatest anguish,
protesting her mothers innocence, and
imploring every one who came near her
to intercede in her mothers behalf.
While thus weeping she declared her
mother was too good and kind to be
guilty of the enormous crime of which
she was convicted, and asserted that iE
her mother was put to death, she wished
to die also. The scene was heartrend-
ing, and many of those who witnessed
it, including number of hardy soldiers,
were moved to tears Miss S. having
become Quilted, gave vent to her feelings
in silent tears, and was finally persuaded
to take a seat in the East Room, where

Some time after, psdlar, who had Of
ten stayed all night at the house, drove
up and asked permission to remain, but
the falmer's wife declined, because it
was doubtful if her husband returned
that night, and she knew there was a
large amount of money in the house
She remarked to the pedMr that if her
husband returned he would meet him.
The pedler drove on, met the farmer and
returned. As they approached the
house, the farmer observed light in a
room in which he usually kept his pa

there were BURGERS in the house.

at points where the BURGERS would prob

Towns are spripging up in that favored

One day last week the United States Pc

of paying a bonus of this amount, besides
giving to the company one half of the

there every hour, and the ex ,itement is
unabated. No one, so friend tells us

rsAsThere has been quite a new

tie last two months past, some ten or
twelve boats have becu built here and
run to different points on the Clarion
liver, loaded generally with with Flour,
Pork, Beans, Molasscs and occasionally
an Engine for the oil wells. The boats
have generally found there way over the
rough waters safe, with but one or two
exceptions. Mr.. II. Fullerton of
Brookvillo jeff. Co., built quite large
boat, and had it heavy loaded with salt,
flour, molasses &c, aud started for

afternoon Of last week, the persons pre-

with robbing him of SIS. While at.

our testimony to the efficacy Of the strin,

has checked this evil very materially, SO
that now, in their conduct as soldiers,
there is vastly less cause Of complaint
