v. II. K. ' " l'OSTHK. KDITOIt. Co n? mitte of Conference by the Senate. It will bo seen by roforcnce to the Congressional now in another column, the Senate, has agreed to ask Committoo of conforenco fiom the lloaso. What action tho Houso will oo proper to take in relation to the mailer in qulto uncertain, but, wo want to mco a tirin ttnnd tnken on tho Crittenden proviso. Our opinion is that the Senate will finally succumb. Messrs Inen Huuter and So ward is the Com lulitco nppointod on behalf of the Son fttO. Death of Hon, Thomas nBenton. This distinguished Statesman and Patriot died at his residence in Wash, ington on Saturday morning tho 10th inst, at half past seven o'clock, after a painful and lingering illness, produced by a cancer in tho stomach . Particularly at the present crisis of political affair, hi loss will bo more sorerely felt, than at any other tiino. Though not at tho time of his death, in the hall of legislation, yet his influence was felt, and did much to quiet the atorms of political strife that havo been constantly arising. On Monday evening laat, ft 4-20, bis remains -were placed in charge of Ad ams & Co'a Express, for St. Louis, ac companied by his son-in-law W. Carey Jones and Kichard T. Jacobs of Ky. On Tuesday evoning at 10 o'clock, they roachod Cincinnati and were immediately conveyed to tho Ohio k Mipsis eippl Hail Road, where they wcro placed i ft a passenger car, especially provided for tho occasion, -which was appropriately draped in mourning inide and out The (Wet to says that in consequence of tho latenoss of the hour, but few persons wcro at the depot on the arrival of tho train. The body wis placed in n plain mahogany coffin, And that enclosed in an outer box, covtered with American flags'. Mexico and South America, Anarchy and revolution prevail in thesodistractod and misgoverned countries to an alarming extent. Thcro is scarcely a government on our southwestern border, or In our neighboring continent, that has any stability, or nny respectability of character. Mexico seems to bo on tho cvo of revolution more terrible than nny that has prcccdod it, and would bo greatly ro. lievcd and benefitted by tho protection, on sorao legal and wiso basis, g the United States. Hor bonier provinces, lining our Western frontier, aro in n condition of turbulenco and contention, and await tho guiding hand of somo judicious pacificator. Paraguay is in arms, and though unsettled in her own IntcrWl nfla'tra, has oa'hand a controversy with Braxil, who is assembling a large land and naval force to attack her. The Uraguayian States aro in revolt, though the Montevideo troops have, for the prcsont, succeodod in quelling the recent outbreak of the revolutionists.Iu Grenada the spirit of deflection and discontent is spreading, and a revolutionary movement Is in anticipation. Jn Teru civil war provails with activity and variable success, and the fate of the country hangs upon the uncertain issuo of tho existing struggle of two formidable parties of tho people, and what will bo tho result cannot now bo foreseen. Venezuela is in rebellion against tho government, and Caraccns is (n a stato of scigo, being surrounded by an array, at , latest dates, ol 10,00U determined men, who had already succeeded in taking possession of Porto Cabcllo. The signs of the times are portentous of discord and evil councils. That good will eventually bo tho Providential result, however, wo have no doubt. Mean while, our own government has its plans and designs respecting our more itnme diato neighbors, though what they pre cUely are is much Involved in doubt. The government party in Mexico seem to bo gaining ground through tho influ ence of tho Church which is ruling ovorywhoro with tyranical energy. Hut tho spirit of opposition and freedom, though, it may bo for a timo quieted by tho sword, cannot be permanently suppressed, and will not easily be subdued. SrARTUNa Intimation. It is intimated by Prof. Harney, of tho Louisvile Democrat, that Senator Douglas, "not having fear of Buchanan be furo his eyes," has surreptitiously, and with dosign aforo thought, absconded from the Dotnocratio party, carrying with him iU entire platform and principles. He Hays, "diligent search having been mado about tho White House, and among tho Leeotnpton Senators, no traces of cither has been discovered for somo months past." Utaü Abkino Admission Into tiik Union. A lottor from Washington states that Mr. Bernhcisol, delegate from Utah, has presented to tho Houso Committoo on Territories, a constitution framed by tho peoplo of Utah, with the request that the Territory le admitted as a Stats under it. -

The Liquor Case. At the January term of the Court of Common Pleas, smo two hundred Informations wcro found nnd preferred against various persons in tho County, for retailing liquor contrary to tho pro visions of the Liquor law of 18511. At tho present term, last week, motions were inndo in tho cases to quash tho Informations and affidavits, on theso grounds. First, that the law of 1 8." 3 was repeal, ed by tho law of 1M3. Second, the informations and affidavits were defective in not averin that tho defendants had not filed bonds with the Auditor, and because they did not specify tho quantity of liquor sold by ach, or tho price paid for the same. After full argument last week tho Court took the motion under advisement, and on Monday morning of the proscnt week, sustained tho motion, and held that tho law ot 18."rt was not repealed by the law of lS.Vi, but that a bond was required to be filed with the Auditor before any ponton had the right to sell. The Court held also, that thcro being no averment, that tho person charged hnd not filed his bond, nor nny averment of the specific quantity of liquor sold, as required by Iho decision of the Supromo Court, A.c.; for theso reasons tho Court quashed tho afildavitand Information. Thereupon Mr. Crookshank, the Prosecuting Attorney, exeep tod to the opinion of tho Court in ono case, and prepared it for the Supreme Court, and entered a nolle prosequi in tho

other cases. Messrs. Jones k Horry, Holland & Biukley, and Quick fc Quick, appeared for the defendants in support of the motion. The Stato was represented by Crookshank, tho prosecuting attorney, Yar yon, Farquhar, and Morrow. Common Fleas Court. This court, established some six years ago in our Stale, will soon exceed our Circuit Court In importance and buslnew. Its duties nro much more various and iliflicult, requiring more jmllcinl skill and verification in law to fill tho judgeship than the Circuit Court. Alargo amount of businos has been disposed of during tho present term. Tho following aro somo of tho most important eases : Mary J. Whitney vs James M. Sherwood for Bastardy. This Is tho first caso of tins Character that has over been brought in our Common Pleas Court: It has been amicably settled b marriage between the parties. Wo understand that tho dcfcndciit sloped in 0 fow moments after tho knot was tied, but she having had his property secured before marriage, is not Jell in such a bad fix after all. Abraham Hinds vs John I Williams. This was nn action brought on a noto by tho plantltr against tho defendant for Bonio two hundred dollars. The plantllt" had sold tho defendant a lot of hogs, which as "Mr. Williams Contends wcro fattened on ma.it, and not on corn or the plantilT represented to him at tho timo of purchase, consequently tho dofendunt rcfusod to pay said note, on a plea that ho had been deemed in tho purchase of said hogs. This caso was submitted to a jury who found for tho plantiir tho amount claimed by him. Bcnj. W. llemy vs Thou. J. Powers, civil action, fraud. This is an action brought by tho plantitT on a plea that tho defenlKnt bad cheated him iu a ".horse swap." This caso was also submitted to a Jury who found for the defendant. SHT As thcro will bo a Commissioner elected at tho ensuing October election, and as somo have already proclaimed themselves candidates for tho station, which, by tho by is the most important oflico in the county and should possess a great portion of the public attention, especially at this time. Wo havo thought it would notprovouninleresting to furnish a list of the township composing each of tho throo districts; they aro as follows: Tho first District is composed of Iho townships of Fairfield, Hath, Sprinflcld, Whito Water nnd Highland. The second embraces Brookville, Metamora and Butler. Tho third, Blooming Crovo, Laurel, Posey, Salt Creek and Kay. Tho Commissioners elected this year will be supplied from tho second District. Formation of a New Party. A Mass Meeting of tho friends of Henry Clay, and tho opponents of the present Administration, was held in Philadelphia, on Monday evening last, at tho National Hall, for tho purposo of celebrating Clay s birthdaj-,and moving for tho establishment of a National Partv. A scries of resolutions wm adopted, setting forth tho principles advocated by Clay, and inviting the friends and supporters of the rights of tho peoplo to join in a great national party, which shall cmbraco, according to its namo, tho combined energies of tho country, without regard to minor subjects of difference, whether of a local or personal character, and with a firm dctcrraination to maintain, against encroachments the privilege of freemen.

The Cash Plan for Newspapers. Almost all newspapers in general circulation, says the Ruralist, have come to it. It is the only safe plan, and should at once be adopted even by local papers. The few cents profit on a subscription

will not pay for collection and loss of interest, even though the last mill were utterly sure, instead of which it is morally certain that thirty per cent of it will be utterly and eternally lost. It is a bore to the subscriber, weekly to encounter the idea that his paper is not paid for; to the proprietor it is an insurporbable [sic] barrier to progress and profit. If your paper cannot be sustained on the cash plan, why, good sir, let it die, and not kill yourself in trying with a local paper to flatter the pride of your villagers, who suffer it to starve to death, and at the same time curse it for an ungainly exhibition of ribs while starving. The reader will remember the old era of newspaper dunning, so disgusting to readers, because so richly deserved. The following, which is floating without ear-marks, is a suggestive specimen of this kind of literature: Dollars, halves, quarters, and all manner of fractions into which you are divided, collect yourselves and come home! You are wanted! Combinations of all sorts of men that help the printer to become your proprietor, gather in such force, and demand with so good reason your appearance at this counter that nothing short of a sight of you will appease them. Collect yourselves, for, valuable as you are in the aggregate, singly you will never pay the cost of gathering. Come in here in silent, single file, that the printer may form you into battalions, and send you forth again, to battle for him, and vindicate his credit. ———<>——— Tho Prayer Moctingi. Tho Catholic papers, wo observo, con. tinuo thoir fling at tho prayer meetings. Tlie Freeman's Journal has the following morccau t ' "Wo find somo mercantile firms, wlio.so business need a booM, calling 'daily prayer meetings' at their count-ing-honses. We find tho moro obor and disinterested portion of tho Protestant 'religious world' very anxious to get the wholo affair hushed up and put asido." This is about as fair as Theodore Parker, and his satellites, picking out of tho thousands of prayers that havo been offered, in tho different Churches during tho revival, two or three, the bad taste and illiterato sourcoof which were -too evident to havo misled nnv that heard thorn, and offering thorn, with a leer of ridicule, as specimen of tho general charucter of tho prayers presented at these business men's meetings. It is difficult to determine, in those ill-natured assaults, which Is most conspicuous dishonesty or stupidity. 1'hejirtir.g Job at Washington. Printing Investigating Com-mitLC-.Siantially agreed on the bill to ehtablihh t (loverumciit Printing Office, under a Commissioner and the Secretary of the Interior, whero tho printing, binding and engraving of Congrcr, tho Departments, and evory branch of Government will bo executed. The Committee will probably bo ready to report early noxt week, and tho report will make the. most interesting dovolopments, showing tho enormous profits hitherto made. It is tuid that Wendell pays twenty thousand dollars a month for tho baro privilege of executing tho work lor other parties. The Cincinnatui. We havo received number I. of this valuable magazine, published at College Hill, Ohio. It is neatly printed in pamphlet form of -IM pages, and is filled with Just such a variety of reading matteras every farmer and llorticulturalist would poruao with avidity. Mr. (Jarey, tho editor, has long been identified with tho Agricultural interests of tho Went, and from tho appear anec of tho number bolbro us, is deter mined no doubt, to mako it tho best journal of the kind in tho West. It will succeed. Subscription prico t'2 per year. C.ns LiuiiTkD jiyCJas. A locomotive and six ears go out nightly over tho New Jersey llailroad to Philadelphia, lightod by gas, nnd the diflerenco between the gas-lighted and tho candle-lighted gives to tho former tho nppearanco of an illuminated train shootingoir through Jersey on somo gala occasion. Tho gas js forced by a pump at the depot through small iron pipes into a ktron - 1 l i t. . wruugni iron mm ora.cu cynnaer, which Is fixed beneath each car, and thenco conveyed through a patent reg ulator to tho interior.
