The Death of Hon. .John CovOde.

This gentleman, who was one of the most
prominent and influential radical politicians
in the State, died very suddenly at the
United States Hotel in Harrisburg. on yes
terday morning one week ago. MIR. CUvode
was about sixty-two years of age. In 1854
he was elected to Congress from the West
moreland district by the unseen. but not
unfelt, Influence Of the proscriptive and re-
vengeful spirit of Know-Nothingism Judg-
ing from some of his late utterances as a
membes of Congress, he still maintained and
endorsed all his original and bitter religious
and political heresies. After 1854 he was
reelected to Congress three times in success
sion, and was a member of tha. body when
his untmely death occurred. We ere not
afraid to express the opinion. from our
knowledge of his public career. that Mr..
Covode was no statesman in the full and just
appreciation Of the term. He was an uned-
ucated man, but was naturally endowed
with quick aud active, but not enlarged,
intellect He had the gift-of immense ener>
gy OF character, and that was the great secret
Of his success, as it has often before been
with public men of vastly more mental abil-
ity. We are willing that his faults shall be
bmied with him. but will freely admit that
john Covode must have possessed many
good and excellent traits Of character. If
that we're not true, he could not so long and
uninterruptedly have maintained his politi-
cal supremacy in the district in which he
lived. His sudden death recalls the memo
riable expression of the great Edmund
Burke on a certain melancholy occasion -
''What shadows we are and what shadows
we pursue"

Hon. Robert II. KDechert.

IT will surprise our readers to be informed
that so called petition has been presented
to the State Senate, by the notorious, infa-
nous ard corrupt State Senator, Connell,
from one of the Philadelphia districts. pro-
posing to contest the right of Col. Robert
Dechert TO his seat. Col. Decbert, as our
readers will all recollect, was elected to the
Senate of this State, at special election or
dered by Harry White, the then Speaker of
the Senate, to fill the place of w. W. Watt,
republican, deceased. Col. Dechert was
elected by a majority of 1,301. There was
no fraud whatever alleged, nor was there
any believed. The question is, can this
base and dishonorabe business prove to be
successful, or, to more correctly state it, can
a democrat be admitted to his seat in either
branch of the Legislature from Philadelphia,
il set of corrupt scoundrels like William
b. Mann and other kindred spirits can pre-
vent it We are not in favor of revolution
that game was attempted during the time
of the celebrated "Buckshot" war, and with
disgracelul failure. We are not the advo-
Gates of rebellion against the law, but we
think the time has notc come that, as against
the damnable operations of this corrupt
Philadelphia radical crew, the democracy of
tie State must take care of its own rights.
and we expect such men as Wallace, Buck
alew, Randall, and other well tried Demo-
cratic Senators, to aid Us in doing so.
P. S. Since the above-was written we
notice that this whole question has been re-
ferred to committee Of the Senate, consist
ing Of Messrs. Brckalew, Purnnn, Davis,
Petrken and Dill. ho. on Monday last,
made report against receiving the petition
ccntesting Col. Dechert's seat. The report
was adopted, and SO ends this attempted
radical fraud.

DEATH OF ANOTHER FEMALE MIsER.-
Hannah Woodward, of West Bradford.
whose death at the advanced age of eighty
two years, was published some time since.
was quite eccentric in her ways. She had
a house and few acres of land, and for
years lived entirely alone. She was econom-
lcai In her habits almost to parsimony, de-
priving herself almost Of the necessaries of
life One cord Of wood would last her an
Incredibly long time, and in the coldest
weather the chance visitor would find her
stove containing hardly enough fire to mak G
show, while the apartment would be as
cold as out Of doors. Her wardrobe was of
the most scanty description. Since her
death various sums cf money have been
found hidden away in various parts of the
house, amounting altogether to about $500
One roll Of money was found hidden away
IN a stove pipe in the garrett In an old
stocking was found $50 in gold and silver
coin. She was unmarried. She left about
$4,000 IN real estate, and about $4,000 in
money.

TIE present session of the Legislature ap-
pears to be peculiarly prolific Of contested
seats. This is disgrace and deep humil-
iation to the honesty and integrity of the
people of the whole State. In the first
place, Putney, democrat, from Armstrong
county, is contested by Steele, the radical
member last year. The seat of Hagar, rad
ical, from the 1lth Philadelphia district is
contested by democrat. Then the seat Of
Lamon, radical, from the 18th Philadelphia
district, is also contested. There is also a
contest before both branches of the Legsla-
tnre, as the law requires it, as to the right
Of James Lynd to his seat, according to the
returns at the last October election. for an
Associate Judge of the District Court of
Philadelphia. Frauds, in all these different
cases are asserted; but in all operations of
this kind before the Legislature a democrat,
under the modern acceptation of that dis
honored name, is not nearly as likely to get
his honest rights as a republican. These
cases are all yet before the respective Houses
of the Legis lature, and we will watch their
progress and announce to our readers the
several results.

Change I'm Day of Publication.

The next issue of our paper viii usher in the
ffth year OF its existence, and we deem the Oc-
cason a fitting one for changing the publica-
tiOn daY of the Freeman from Thursday TO Sat
lIrday, printing our inside pages, as heretofore,
On the day previous and mailing the papers so
as TO reach nearly all its patrons on saturday.
Our reasons for making this change are many,
the two principal ones of which are-lst. That
the publication OF the two papers here on the
same day often OvertaXes the facilities OF the
post-ofce at this place for forwarding mail
matter, and hence our paper, though mailed in
time, frequently fails to reach some of the near
est points until Friday; I'd. Two-thirds of our
country subscribers do not have the opportu-
nifty TO lift their papers until they go 70 churcn
on Sunday. and by that time the news is to some
extent stale, whereas by the new arrangement
we can bring the news up 10 Friday. For these
and other substantial reasons we have DECIDED
TO change publication day, and on and atter
next week subscribers need not look Tor their
papers before Saturday.

tor Ann Deeman the case is one Of the
most atrocious character. According to the

was repea tedly beaten and shut up in a
room alone, aud perfectly naked: The
neiohbors frequently gave her bread 10 eat.
'The shrieks of the girl could be heard at
times a block from the house The child
died on Wednesday last. y medical exam

tion-the intestines being perfectly empty
The child was eleven years old.
Last Thursday young man slipped on
the pavement in Eikton, Nd. de did not
fall to the ground, but succeeded in catching
on his hand, and walked on without serious
discomfort The remainder Of the afternoon
he remained on the street and spent the
evening lin social pleasure. About two
O'Clock next morning he aroused his sister
and asked her to send fo- the doctor he
believed be was dying. 1t was concluded
that he was bleeding internally, but all eff
forts to relieve him failed, and on Sunday
morning he died, a victim of perhaps as
slight an accident as was ever attended with
| fatal results.
in Jersey City, on Friday, Detective
Flicker, of Chicago, made a statement TO the
effect that he had obtained a clue to the
murderer of Benjamin Nathan. He had in
his possession a lOcket which he showed to
Judge CORDOBA, Mr.. Nathan's brother in
law The Judge recognizes the locket and
gave the detective $3.50 to prosecute the
search. They both then went TO the super
intendent of police in New York. and asked
the terms on which a reward would be dvi
ded. The superintendent stated that he
wanted the whole of the detective squad""to
share equally in the reward. and that he
would set all of them to work to ferret ont
the murderer. This Flicker declined and
threw the $3.50 ON the table and left.

THE Winston IN c. Sentinel tells of the
following two very singular cases OF sudden
death {: .'Salathiel Her, citizsn living in
the. e.southern portion Of the county. was ia
ken sick, and few days ago was visited by
a neighbor, Alfred Gimbie. Mr. Gimble was
standing by the bedside, holding him by the
hand. lie asked him how he was getting
along. Hier told him he thought be was
going to die. Gmble remarked that we
all have to die some time. Almost before
the sentence was flushed, be dropped dead,
with HERS hand clasped in his, nearly pull
ing him out of bed. Her was SO frightened
and excited by the circumstance that he
died In short time. We have been in
formed OF another singular occurrence that
took place in our county a few weeks ago.
y MIR. Swicegood, we believe local preach
er, IN the evening, after he had eaten his
supper. in apparent good health, asked his
wife to prepare the bed for him to lie down
as he was going TO die directly. She reprov-
ed him for speaking so. He took his seat in
the porch, and in a short time asked his wife
II the bed was prepared, telling her to hurry
up, as he had only few minuets to live
He then lay down and died Immediately.
