could not stomach. GoGGIN, on
the other hand, had toler.
ably fair record, but the main strength
of the Wing ticket, upon which he ran,
lay in the clearly defined pro-slavery po.
sition of Hon. WAITMAN T. WILEY, the
Whig candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or. Mr.. WILEY was known to have de-
clared his willingness "to take his mus
ket and fight for his right to carry his
slaves into the Territories" AS Dir.
WILEY owned slaves then, and as he
was understood to be a man who never
went back on his pledges, the friends OF
slavery, especially in the Southern
portions of Virginia, rallied to his sup
port as against the odious abclitionist,
JOHN LETCHgR, and through the known
devotion Gf this candidate to the inter
ests Of the negro drivers, came very
near making the played out Wing par
ty victorious in the great Democratic
stronghold, Virginia. But times have
changed since then. Mr.. WILLEY's
friends teach their children to
curse the memory of JOHN
LETCHER as a traitor who tried
to break up the Government to perpet-
uate human slavery. On the other
hand Mr.. WILEY, by judicious
abandonment of lifelong principles,
has been enabled to rank high as a
loyalist. The support accorded him by
the red Rot slaveocrats of '59 is faint
and tame by the side of the ardent ad'
herence given him by "the loyal
friends Of freedom" in these
later days, ard whatever name he
makes in history will be made
as an earnest devotee of human liber-
ty. Bot for a time at least few will
live who can recall these old reminis-
cences, and with them illustrate the
emptiness and werthlesspess of politi-
cal reputation.

Bersft Of Reason by Fright.

The Galesburg, Illinois, Free Press of
December 3Oth says: "a case of sudden
or violent fright occurred in our neigh
boring town of Abingdon on Monday
last, which should prove sad and i'm.
pressive warning to all who are partial
to indulgipg in practical jokes. 1t
seems, from what we can learn, that on
a day a party of boys, disguised with
hideous masks and grotesque garments,
called at the residence of an estimable
lady, Mrs. George H. Marshall, in that
place. They entered noiselessly at the
back door, and succeed eded in frightening
an infant almost into convulsions. Mrs.
NJ, hearing the Mortified screams of her
child, Immediately hastened to its assist
ance to shield and protect it from harm.
In hurrying to her child, she suddenly
encountered the masked figures, and fell
fainting to the floor. She was shortly
afterwards found by her friends, and
proper remedies were administered, but
her revival only witnessed the horrify-
ing fact that she was hopslessly insane.
Up to this writing, weregret to say, that
no lucid intervals have been developed,
and the woman once happy wife and
proud mother is now raving mani
&C, bereft of reasoa and covering in

Decision in the Washinston-Jener
SON College Cnse.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.l


The State Supreme Court has decided,
in the Washington-J Jefferson College
case, against the petitioners, l.. e.,. the
Canonsburg people. This case, which
has excited considerable attention in
this vicinity, originated in the action
of the trustees of Jefferson College
which, for couple of generations, has
made CaDonsburg, in Washington
county, a centre of learning in Western
Pennsylvania-in remeriHg the college
to Washington, the county seat. This
was done with the view of uniting it
with Washington College, rather fec
BILE institution which had been strug-
Cling along by its side for long course
Of years, and thereby making one
strong college where there had been
two weak ones before. The people of
Canonsburgrose up to a man against this
scheme. Jefferson college had been
their bread and butter, SO TO speak; for
the business of the town ardthe value
of its property, depended in great
measure on the fact that a couple of
hundred young men boarded, and spent
their money there. There was this to
be said in favor of the Canonsburg
view of the case; that Jefferson was
always far larger and more flourish
ing institution than its Washington
rival, and it seemed unfair to remove
the larger and unite it with the smaller.
A subscription was raised in Canons-
burg to fight the removal in the courts.
Eminent counsel were employed
By an ingenious dodge, West
Virginia holder of Jefferson scholar
ship was induced to pray for a tempo
rary injunction against 1.-THE removal, in
the United States Court. The injuuc-
tion was granted, and time was thus
gained to get the case before the Su-
preme Court of the State, before which
it was argued in the November session
in this city. The decision which has
been arrived at, will be heavy blow
to the Canonsburg people and great
triumph to those of Washington. We
suppose the removal and the "more
perfect union" will be effected without
further loss of time-upless, indeed, as
we have limited, the Canonsburg re-
sistants intend by some new dodge to
get the matter into the United States Su-
preme Court. We should advise them
not to do this. The expense of such q
course would be heavy, and the result
more than doubtful. Even if successful,
it is probable that the Canonsburgers
would have but the barren victory Of
defeating Washington for their pains
The present legal contest is killing the
college-or the collages, as the case
may be-quite rapidly. A protracted
lawsuit, whatever might be its result,
would extinguish it-or them-entirely.
CaIonsburg would do better to let the
college 60 IN peace, take what compen-
sation can be got from the buildings,
ETC., that weuld be left, save the money
that would otherwise be spent in vast
ing litigation, to develope her resources,
rush forward the CHARTERS railroad, and
through it, drink commercial and in.
dustrial and suburban prosperity from
Pittsburgh.

IN the proceedings of the City Coun-
Gil on Tuesday night we observe that
in the First Branch the Fiuance Com
mittee, reporting upon the unsettled
accounts of Mr.. A. w. WOODS, former
City Collector, asked leave to call in
outside aid to help them in their settle
ment with this officer. The Committee,
it would appear, have not sufficient con-
fidence in their own ability to manage
the case. They want the benefit of the
"extendod acquaintance through the
city" of q gentleman not connected
with the City Council and who we have
little doubt, has no desire to undertake
the discharge of duties properly belong
ing to others.
We submit that it is the business OF
the Council, through its own proper
Committee, to make this settlement
When gentlemen stand as candidates
for the position of Councilmen, they are
understood as mCdestly confessing them
selves competent for the position. Dis
agreeable duties must arise in every
official position. They should not be
avoided by roundabout confession OF
incompetency.
With regard to the case in hand, there
are special reasons why the matters be-
longing to the -collectorship of Mr..
WooDs should be straightenedup. The
fact that there have been unsettled
accounts standing against him foT
several years has given rise to
some rumors that are not entirely
respectful to all concerned. Pub
lie attention being turned in that
.dirsction, Council will be held strictly
responsible for further delay. If this
officers accounts are all right, it is but
lust to him that Council should say so.
Every hours silence on their part works
him injury. If they are not all right,
the public should know it. Matters OF
a public nature, affecting public in1er-
ests, ought not to bear even the appear
ance Of concealment.
at any rate, there is no reason why
years should be permitted to pass by
without proper settlements between
the city officers and the representatives
of the people. In the pending case
there can be no excuse for delay. 1t is
the business of the Council to have a
settlement and make a complete ex-
bibit. Let this be done, and that with
out any shifting of responsibility OF
calling in of outside aid.

Mr.Greeley Prenching Temperance
lEe Has n Queer Audience aud
Makes n Speech coed for any.
Mr.. Greeley went down among the
slums and tenement houses Of the New
York Fourth ward on Thursday night
to talk teetotalism to about the worst
population that the city offers. The
San gives this picture of his audience:
Many of the countenances were in q
high state of ofllorescence, and some of
them were battered, and Others seemed
to indicate that their possessors had lost
all human qualities and become no bet
ter than british beasts. But the audi
ense were not all TINS degraded. Many
poor and wretched but honest persons
were present, and n representation of
fashionable people from up town
filled one corner of the chapel.
Some of the fashionable repre-
sentatives of gutterdom-sciens of
the genuine Fourth ward aristocracy-
also graced the occasion, for the Fourth
ward has its elite and its aristocracy,
no less then Murry hill. In fact, there
is Constant reciprocal interchange of
social material between those two noted
ocalities-Murray hill families, through
much drinking of liquor, sinking to the
Fourth ward; and the Fourth ward
families, through much selling of liquor,
rising to Murray hill-where, as the
wife of one Of the new-risen Murray
hilleTs lately said, they Give in a per-
feet delirium tremens of splendor."
Conspicuous among the fashionable
representatives of gutterdom were a
well known capitalist of Rag Pickers'
row and his tiance, the belle of Bone
Pickers' paradise, neither of whom, we
regret to say, could be induced TO sign
the pledge because they were unwilling
to forcgo what they expected to taste
that night at the wake of a mutual
friend"
Nothing daunted, however, Mr.. Gree.
ley won the car. of his hearers, and
preached to them the simple truth most
effectively. Among the things he said
were these:
81 see poor people before me. Now,
the poorest man here has q right to be
so rich that he need not 60 to any man

And there is nobody here but what

SHOT AND ROASTED.

The coroner held an inquest yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Henry
BrauHschweig, on Florisant avenue, six

of William Lambrecht, seventeen years
old, nephew of Braunschweig, who
was killed on New Years day by the
accidental discharge of his gun while

in the afternoon. After dinner Lam.

and, going into the kitchen, took down
a sing gle-barrslled shotgun and loaded
it. saying, Now i am Off" He bade
his uncle good. bye, and started cut
with his gun. About 3 o'clock Mr..
Braunschweig went out towards the
stable, and saw smoke in field near q
hay stack, but supposing it to be a
stump, paid no particular attestion to
it. Night came, and the boy
failing to return, 1T was sup
posed that he had gone to see his
brother, who works for Mr.. Miller at
Jennings station. The next morning
Brsunschweig went out to the stable,
and seeing some object on the ground
near the haystack, went to it, and
found that it was the dead body of his
nephew, with the clothes all burned off
except enc sleeve of the coat, and the
flesh roasted from head to foot. A hole
was discovered in the breast, and the
gun was lying within q few feet, with
the load discharged. The gun had
doubtless gone off accidentally, with the
muzzle against the boys breast, and
the charge of shot had entered the body
and passed through the heart. The
clothes had taken fire and burnt the
flesh almost to a crisp. The boy was
from Germany, and had been IN this
country four months.

LENGTH OF LIMB.
The Governor of Nevada Seized rs the
Chinese Giant.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
Governor Blaisdell, of Nevada, is one
of those individuals whom nature franz
ed in one of her most generous moods,
and is chiefly celebrated for his length
of limb, as we'll as towering stature.
While on visit lately to this city, he
found room big enough to accommo-
date his elephantine proportions in one
of our principal hotels. One evening he
took it into bis head that he would
visit Chang, the celebrated Chinese
Giant, who was then on exhibition at
Aiken's Museum. He was lucky enough
to be one of the first visitors, and so got
a chance to see his great oriental rival.
There were large number, however,
who were not so fortunate, and who
were obliged to stand around the door
until their turn came. Having satisfied
his curiosity, the Governor prepared to
elbow his way through the crowd and
had succeeded in reaching the second
floor, when low hum greeted his ap-
pearance. This soon broke into excla-
nations something like the following:
"There he isw THAT'S himw "There's
the Chinese G!ant~ An eager crowd
pressed around his Excellency, and
much to his indignation, began taking
him by the hand and asking him all
sorts of questions. The distinguished
gentleman was so overwhelmed that it
was sometime before he could recover
him, elf. lie was saved all further
trouble, however, by agcntleman in the
throng who stepped up and said to the
crowd: Ladies and gentlemen, you are
in error; this is case of mistaken
identity. This gentleman is not the
Chinese Giant, but only the Governor
of Nevada IL is unnecessary to say
that there was but few in the crowd
who did not enjoy the joke immensely.

Alexander the Great, as history in
