A Horrible StorE---Lynch Law in Penn.


Shrewsbury, York county, correspondence
Philadelphia Age,
On Wednesday, goth ult, Miss Reip a
most estimable lady, sixty years old, from
the city of Baltimore, visiting her friends
some eight miles southeast of this place. was
attacked by a burly young negro Sim Quinn,
who after knocking her down dragged her
some distance into wood near at hand She.
by this time, somewhat recovered from the
blow, wrought to frenzy, resisted until over
powered by the superior strength of her as
sailant In the struggle her clothing was
nearly all torn from her person, which the
hcllsh fiend twisted into ropes, and binding
her hands and feet to different trees, perpetra-
ted his daboical purposes Thus he left
her, almost lifeless and wcltering in blood
(wth a view, no doubt, of seeking his victim
again at night), returned to his work in an
adjoining cornicld. After some four hours
of terrible agony, Miss Reip succeeded in re-
leasing herself and made her way to the
mousse Of Mr.. Krkwood, where, more dead
than alive. she told her horrible misfortuncs.
Mr. Kirkwood Immediately proceeded to the
house of Mr.. Robinson, to whom the negro
was indentured, and for whom he was at the
time at work They, in company, went in
the cornfeld, and finding the negro still at
work arrested him he denied his guilt, but
upon examination, his undergarments were
found saturated with the blood Of his victim
He was confined in a corn-crib until Mr..
Knkwood could procure medical aid for the

The Northern Elections.

From the New York Tribune.
Pennsylvania has reelected Governor
Geary over Asa Packer by about 900 ma
jority. Henry W. Williams, Republican, is
chosen a justice Of the Supreme Court BY
about 1000. The Legislature is strongly
Republican in either House. Considering
the bitter hostility with which Governor
Geary was regarded by many Republicans,
which cost him thousands of votes in
Allegheny county alone, and the apathy
which characterized the contest, this is a
better result than we had a right to expect.
Two years ago we lost the only candidate vo-
ted throughout the State; Judge Williams
(now elected) having been beaten about 900
by Sharswood. Democrat
Ohio has reelected Gen. Hayes her Gov
crnor by majority somewhat greater than
he received two years ago. We hope it ex-
ceeds 5000, but shall be content with that
figure. The chairman of the State central
committee gives us reason to hope for more.
The Legislature (hitherto against us in both
Houses) is still in doubt.
Iowa is Of course Republican all over
Though the vote is light, Governor Merrilrs
majority will exceed 10000.
[From the N Y. World.
The contest has been so close in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio that the result in both States
is somewhat doubtful, and nothing short of
the full official returns seems likely to put it
entirely beyond dispute. If the Republicans
have carried one of those States, or both
it is BY mpj6rities so slight as to make even
their success d source of Encouragement and
humiliation. 20 Considering how large their
majorities I'd those States were last year, and
how very small they must be this year, if
they have carried the States at ALL they have
reason to ask themselves how many such vic
tories they can stand and escape total ami
hllation ? General Grants majority in Penn
sylyania was 28,898, and in Ohio, 1857.
And now, if his party is not beaten in both
States, it has escaped "by the skin of its
teeth
The enormous patronage of the Federal
government is potent influence in all
elections, and that influence has been Weld
ed by the the Republicans If neither party
had been aided by it, nobody can doubt that
Ohio and Pennsylvania would have been car
rled by the Democrats on Tuesday by
handsome majorities. But if the Federal.
patronage had been On the Democratic side,
as 1t was on the Republican side, the Demo
cratic majorities would have been prodgious
and triumphant.
From the N. Y. Times
The Republican triumph in Pennsylvania
is rendered all the mora satisfactory by the
difficulties under which it was accomplished
10 widespread apathy was added the weak
hess incident to the Hostility cherished by |
many Republicans to the present State |
administration. That Gov Gcary has fallen |

A Matter that affects all our Citizens.

If our common Council were to lay tax
of twenty five per cent. on all the fresh meats,
vegetables, butter and poultry consumed by
our people, the whole community would be
in an uproar. It would be regarded as in
tolerable oppression, and every body would
rise up, as one man, to relieve themselves OF
such an onerous burthen,
Yet this very thing has been done but
done indircctly-an therefore the people do
not see it, though they may feel it. This is
the difference between direct and indirect tax
alton. People understand the one, but they
do not readily see the other.
The enquiry now comes how is this affect
ed? We answer, by not having market
house in our fourishing town. If we had
market house, the consumers would be
brought into direct communication with the
producers. There would be no middle men,
with their profits, between them. The buyer
would get his supplies from first hands, and
the seller would geta fair price for his COM
modities.
But as matters now stand all the produce
of the country is brought to the groccrs, who
buy it, on the best terms for themselves, and
then put on heavy profit, and sell it to the
consumer. In this way, every working man
in the town, pays from five to ten cents high
er for every pound of butter, and every dozen
of gs-aud in the same proportion for
other country producc-thal he uses. in his
family This amounts to a very large tax on
the mechanic and laboring man-much larger
than all his other. taxes put together.
Is this right ? rs tjust to our hand-work-
ing fellow citizens 1T is for them to say
We venture to affirm, that there is not an
other town Of the same size, in the State
which is without market house.
The effect on the farmer and gardner
is equally injurious. Now, when they wish
70 sell their products, they must go to the
grocers. The competition is limited, because
the buyers are few IF, on the other hand
there was an open market, they would bt
brought face to face with the whole body O.
consumers, and could thus have the benefit
of the larger competition. By getting rid o.
the middle men, buyers could buy cheaper
and sellers could sell for far better prices, 70,
all parties would get rid of the profits of the
grocer. Assuming the grocer's profit on s
pound of butter, or dozen eggs, to be only
5 cents, tit is often double that amonnt) the
buyer could afford to pay to the producer two
cents per pound or dozen, more than he nov
gets from the grocer, and yet save three cents
on each pound or dozen. We invite the at
tention Of our laboring men to this view o
the subject. Are they so enamorcd of taxa
ton, that they are willing to submit to this
state of things?
We also respectfully invoke the interposi
tioE Of our Common Council The town il
growing The only obstacle to its continued
growth and prosperity is the cost of living
Let us all see if that evil cannot at least b.
