Uise and Donaldson.

The two well known @ronauts, Pro
fassors Wise and Donaldson, propose
attempting the novel and untried eX-
pertinent Of reaching Europe in bal
loon. The aerial ship in which they
intend etnbarking is now being con-
structed and will be completed by the
Goth of August 1t will be seen from
an article in another column, that IL
will be Of immense proportions Inc

apparatus to fit out the eNpedltloh Is
estimated at $4,000, which viii be de-

t,hIisbed in New HOrk-a publication
cond,jcted with more than ordinary
ability, and the only one of its kind in
the world, of which it may well claim
to be the journalistic wonder, and as
such eminentIy deserving of every
mans support who can afford to graf
ify his literary and artistic tastes in
that way.
Prof. Wise resides in Lancaster, this
State, and has followed the profession
of an 8ronaut longer than any man in
the country, or perhaps in the world.
Fourteen years ago he travelled in 4
balloon from st. Louis to jefferson
county, in the northern part Of New
York State, distance of about l, 800
miles, in seventeen hours. This was
| the longest voyage ever made through
the air At this rate of speed, he ex-
poets to reach England or France in
| about tc1fy hours. From his expert
ence in the numerous aScenSiOEs he has
made in different parts of the United
States, he has arrived at the conclu-
sion that at a certain altitude a strong
current of air uniformly prevails from
! the tceSt to the east, and therefore that
a balloon, when it reaches that height,
will necessarily and easily be propelled
/ 10y this wind current across the Allan
tic ocean. Wise himself expresses the
utmost confidence in the success of his
! hazardous undertaking, and is sustain
| ed in his belief by some of the most
! scientific men in the country.
The two daring Adventures expect
to start Oh their journey between the
25th of August and lst of September
/ Their point of departure will be New
\ ork, but on what part of the Euro
| pean coast they will alight they them
/ selves cannot tell, for the reason that
! the course of a balloon, unlike that of
ship, cannot be regulated or control:
led by a rudder The result of this
bold experiment will be looked for
with intense anxiety both in this coun-
try and in Europe, and with the uni
versai wish that it may not prove dis
astrous failure.

THE town of Butler, in this State,
has a genuine sensation growing out
of an alleged poisoning with arsenic
and strychnine of a man named Sny-
der and his two children, by his wife
and her paramour, John w. Foreman.
The children are recovering and it is
thought that Snyder will survive the
two poisonous doses that were admin
istcred to him. 1t is repetition of
the old story Of illicit love and its ter
rible consequences. The parties occu-
pied the same house and were poor and
illiterate. rs usual Mrs SNYDER and
Foreman were foolish enough to en-
balm their mutual love in written epis-
ties to each other, number of which
have been unearthed by the officers of
the law since the discovery of the crime.
Their epistolary correspondence was
both gushing and prOfuse. The loves
OF Romeo and Juliet, and their pas
siOnate expression of them, were tame
and commonplace when compared to
the burning fame which was fast con-
suming the solid substance of Foreman
and his pet Rebecca. As curiOsities
of their kind, we subjoin the following
specimen bricks" the first being from
Foreman to his Gown dere love- and
| which, barring the orthOgraphv. are
fair samples of such tender and loving
| etlusiOns, whether written in a marble
palace or log cabin:

WE publish this week a speech de-
hvered in the Constitutional COnveIl-
ton by Judge Black, on an amend
ment embOdying what is known as the
'irOn-clad OATH" to be taken by each
member of the Senate and House of
Representative within twenty days
after the final adjournment Of each
session of the Legislature, and to be
filed in the office of the PrOthOnOtary
of the county in which the member
may reside. The speech beals all the
marks of Judge Blacks peculiar style
of oratory He aims directly at his
object and expresses his ideas in strong
and vigorous language. The object
which he seeks to accomplish is a laud-
able one, but we must be permitted to
say that our faith in the efficacy of any
oath that may be taken by at least
two-thirds of the members of an aver
age Pennsylvania Legislature, is not
much larger than grain of mustard
seed, Members of the Legislature
take an oath to support the constitu-
ton Of the State, and that they will
discharge their duties with fidelity.
This obligation is strong and broad
enough to bind the conscience of any
honest man, and if member will vio-
late it by accepting a bribe, or in any
way compromising his sworn duty, he
will not afterwards shrink from the
commission of perjury by taking any
number of oaths, even though they are
piled up as high as Pelion upon Ossa.
If this amendment should become a
part of the constitution and better and
purer men are not sent to Harrisburg,
then after the close Of cession of the
Legislature, during which Pete Herdic
or some other king of the lobby has
piled his Infamous vocation, maiori-
ty of the Prothonotariss' offices of the
State viii become the receptacles of
the written oaths of members, as free
ly taken and as utterly worthless as
those of common drab.

FRAUD SUPPORTED BIZ FLLsEHoor.

The McEnery imposition Is founded on
fraud in the registration lists and at the
ballot boxes. and falsehood in the main
tenanCe Of these frauds. It was set up as
| an argument Why the Democrats and
Liberals should mite. tha. Warmoth
could cheat the Republicans out of their
majority. This was understood, The
consideration was also understood, IS the
PicGyunc admits, that in consideration Of
| Warmoth's frauds upon the ball0: box he
! was to be elected to the United States
Senate. This was the conspiracy, and its
very terms are such as to warrant the
overthrow of what was agreed upon, as
being in fraud Of the rights Of the people.
Mr.. Narmoth had no right to sell out for
his advantage the majority of the voters Of
Louisiana, and the pretended sale that he
did make is such fraud tina: ii is not en-
titled to respect.

Of dishonesty has received in public up to

WHO FORGED THE TELEGRAM 2

Ex-Governor Warmoth has placed the
McEnery tribe in the position OF forgers,
since, if Senator Trumbull is good au-
thority. he denies ever having sent the
dispatch that urged the Fusionists 10 take
action if they desired to be considered as
running a lea! government. Warmo!h is
sharp enough 10 be very warlike in one
spot and very pacific in another, but he
ought to regar(. the chivalric honor of his
Fusion friends. who never depart from the
truth under any circumstances, and take
an early opportunity to explain how the
telegram got out. We do not admire
being advised into q measure here which
the originator is ashamed OF in Washing
ton. Who will deny. in the Senate, that
Zacharie is for war, and rampantly de-
mands that the ''blood OF the people shall
be shed and their money spent?' Mr..
Trumbull will have time Of it il getting
around this warlike utterance.
