AN ATTKMI'TEl) 3IURDF.R. On last Sunday quite an excitement was created in tlie little town of Darlington, in this county, by an attempt to take the life of a young lady, the daughter of a Mr. Paxton, living in the north-cast part of Union township, hy a man named Jacob Paxton. The facts of the ease .as we have learned them, are about these:

Paxton it seems had bccomc enamored of the young lady, who for a time smiled bewitchingly upon him and lent a willing ear to his vows of love, which were expressed with a fervency that, should certainly have melted the heart of the most obdurate of tlic feminine gender. But like the old story she proved a coquet. Ilis hopes were suddenly blasted by the icy coldness with which she frowned upon him. In fact, he was a jilted man. Instead of

Hanging his hurp upon the willow tree"' and "going in lemons" on some hated rival, he resolved to imitate the Moor of Ven

ice

and slay the trifler of his heart. He accordingly armed himself with a revolver,

and

meeting the young lady on her way from church, presented the dcadty weapon,

MILITARY ELECTION.

The "Guards," who arc in a flourishing condition, held an election of officers last Monday evening, which resulted as follows William C. Vancc, 1st Lieutenant T.

D. Brown, 2nd Lieutenant P. B. Simpcon, 3rd Lieutenant John Ross, 4th Sergeant. Messrs. Vance and Brown, were each promoted a step. The Guards are now a fixed institution. We will bet our "pile" on their being the best drilled company in the State.

WHO ABE THE IMFO£IpB9! There is no political deception calculated to impose note upon public opinion, than that

which unler

ty seeks

the guise of hones

to cover up its own damnable

deeds, and

by its lie?, attempts to blacken

the force of true worth. Unfortunately for the welfare of the country, this is a resource which has been and is still frequently resorted to by the opposition as

means

in times of high party excitement., to overthrow the good sense of the people, and thus to secure to themselves the spoils of office.

It is a fact much to be lamented, that the masses too often allow themselves to be imposed upon by the intriguing demagogues of the hour. In their daily life, people arc so easily won by mere superficial demonstration and so prone to believe everything they hear, that it is almost an impossibility to reason them out of a theory once established. Believe it they will, even in the face of demonstration the most clear, bccausc their ears have bccome so accustomed to one idea, one thing, and to accept the whole without examination— provided it is repeated at every political gathering—that patriotism and true worth are left in the back ground, while knavery and demagoguism play the main parts.

We have made a preamble, in what has been said, to a few words which we have to utter about the charge made by the Black Republican leaders and editors with reference to the "extravagance of the present Administration." And in order to show that the Republicans and not the Democrats are the ones practicing imposition upon the honest masses, we shall deal in fucts and not in fancies.

Whatever may be said as to the honest intentions of some Republicans, and however desirous they may be to make the crooked paths of the political camp straight, it cannot be denied that the sole object, end and aim of a majority of those who do prefer and bolster up this chargc, is only to secure the success of their ticket at the next October election. And whatever imprecations, Jim Wilson, the

upright,

hoiwst, manly,

Jim Wilson, the recipient of

Schiller's imported votes, may hurl at Mr. Buchanan, it will only go to show the falsity of the charge and to what a low depth of depravity the human heart is capable of descending.

The Republican leaders charge that'Mr. Buchanan is the cause of all the extravagance which they allege has emptied the public treasury. That he it was who stole money from the treasury. They further charge and their whipped-in curs believe, that he has it in his power to drain the last cent the public money. Arc these men ignorant, or are they dishonest

The Constitution of the United States, Art. 1st, Sec. 9th, is in these words: "No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law. And a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time." "The object of this clause,says Judge Story, "is to secure regularity, punctuality. fidelity, and responsibility, in the keeping and disbursement of the public money. No money," he continues, "can be drawn from the treasury by

any

officer, unless

under appropriations made by some act of Congress. If it were otherwise, the Executive would possess an unbounded power over the public purse of the nation: and might apply all its monied resources at his pleasure."

Yet in the face of all this, Republican leaders have the impudence to assert that President Buchanan draws the money from the public purse to carry out his private ends. Can anything be more disgraceful to a party than such assertions as these?— When a clause in the Constitution expressly declares, that no public officer, not even the President himself shall draw his salary from the treasury until the requisite appropriations have bceu made by Congress. But what more could be expccted from an organization that baptizes its members as ignoramuses and lives only upon their gullibility.

Having shown by tlic Constitution itself that no money can be drawn from the treasury until Congress has made the necessary appropriation, we come now to consider the consistency of our would-be distinguished Jimmy on this question. Iu his abuse of Mr. Buchanan, Jimmy admits that he voted for each and every appropriation that passed Congress, but alleges as a reason for so doing that he did not want to see the wheels of Government stopped. Patriotic Jimmy! Surely a saint of the first water!

What an excuse for a member of Congress to make! Alleging that the appropriations were extravagant that the Government could be carried on with

much

less sum, and yet voting for this same extravagance. If, as Jimmy says, the current expenses did not call for so large an appropriation, why didn't he do something towards diminishing them? W7ould the wheels of Government have stopped if the expenses had been reduced to the proper and legitimate standard The very idea is absurd.

But, say the Republicans, Mr. Buchanan recommended to Congress the passage of these approriations. All very true but was Congress bound to accede to this recommendation Are not the members equally as sovereign as the President.7— And are they not capable of knowing what sum is requisite to carry on the Government just as well as others in power Most assuredly they are. Then why this

charge against the President 1 Simply deceive like people and so secure _the reins of GoTernmeijt in their own hands. A party born in iniquity as a watter of course must exist only through iniquitous means.

As before stated, a regular statement of the receipts and expenditures will have to be made and published under the supervision of officers appointed

soon as this is done, we will be better enabled to form a correct opinion concerning this

extravagance

A STARRING AFFAIR.^,,3

On last Wednesday, about 11 o'clock, A. M., au unfortunate affair occurred in T. D. Brown's Drug Store, between Mr. John Foley and Thomas Keeney, in which the former was severely cnt with a knife in the hands of the latter gentleman. Mr. Keeney was taken before Esquire Pursel for examination and bound over in the sum of one thousand dollars for his appearance at the September term of the Circuit Court.

The case was prosecuted on the part of the State by Mr. B. W. Hanna, of Terre Haute, who is at present stopping in our town. Mr. H's. effort was unquestionably a fine affiiir and evinced a high order of legal ability. He informs us that he will be in attendance to prosccute the case in the Circuit Court. ,*

AN ATTEMPTED .SUICIDE. A lady stopping at the Crane House attempted to destroy her life on last Monda}* morning, but was fortunately prevented by the timely interference of Mrs. Taylor, who, learning that the lady had purchased arsenic at Ott's drug store, with the evident intention of destroying her life, repaired immediately to her room and succeeded after some little difficulty in obtaining possession of the deadly poison. The lady together with her husband and two children were returniug home from a visit to the parents of the former, who reside in this county. The lady is said to be partially deranged.

Vs?"Evan L. Kirchev.il, a young lawyer at Greencastle, committed suicide at the house of his father in that place, on last Tuesday morning, by shooting liimsc!f in the forehead with a rifle. No particular cause is assigned for the rash act, but.for a few weeks past lie had seemed unusually depressed.

PaT" Private letters from on board the telegraph squadron at Qeenstown hold out but little encouragement that the renewed attempt to lay the cable will be more successful than those already made. The N. Y.

Sun

has seen letters dated July 12th,

from persons on board, which say that the strain upon both the Niagara and the Agamemnon was so great that it is doubtful whether they will ever again be put in good condition. The leakings in the Niagara was so rapid that the rooms on the orlop deck were flooded. The same letters state that, invariably, the strain straightened out the outer twist about the cable, leaving the central copper wire to bear the whole.

AST" David II. Knox has received his large stock of boots and shoes. They are of superior quality and purchasers would do well to call and examine them. His stock of ready-made clothing, hats and caps, will be received to-day. The especial attention of the ladies is directed to his stock of Philadelphia custom-made shoes of all styles. Don't fail to call at the store room formerly occupied by Davis & Garvin.

KENTUCKY ELECTION. Kentucky has undoubtedly given an increased Democratic majority. In the Louisville District, WOOD, Democrat, is clectcd over his Know Nothing competitor, for Judge of the Court of Appeals, WHEAT, by a majority which will probably exceed a thousand.

In Louisville and Jefferson county, Thos. Batman, Democrat, is clectcd Jailor over WM. K. Thomas, the Jail Clique Know Nothing candidate, by about 50 majority. John Robb, Democrat, is elected Surveyor. The balance of the K. N. ticket is clectcd.

In the State at large Revill, Democrat, is undoubtedly elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals by several thousand majority.

I, From the Frankfort Crescent. "•CONGRESSIONAL CAWTASS. Below will be found a letter from Hon. James Wilson to Judge Blake on, the subject of canvassing the District together, and Judge Blake's reply. It will be seen that the Judge has concluded to conduct the canvass, so far as speaking is concerncd, in the same manner that Wilson did two years ago with D. W. Voorhees. This is the only course Judge Bkke could safely adopt under the circumstances. Wilson has the advantage of a thorough canvass in '56, and a partial canvass for the nomination recently, and it would be impossible for the Judge to do justice to himself in this race, after binding himself to meet Wilson in a scries of appointments that would consume almost the entire time between this and the election. We are glad that the Judge has determined upon this course, even at.the sacrifice of his own personal feelings in the matter, which would have led him to accept Wilson's proposition promptly. His friends will nowhere object to his decision, but on the contrary will at once see its importance, and appreciate the practical wisdom which he displays in it:

COMMERCIAL RESULTS OF TIIE NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES. Though it is too early to speculate generally upon the effects of the Frazer's River discoveries, some of the results may be predicted with reasonable certainty. Assuming that the mines in that region are equal to any found in California—and that they are richer cannot be supposed—they will allure for the time almost the entire gold-digging population of North America. Novelty has its attractions, and the lucky strikes expected to be made in unexplored places arc proving an irrcshtable temptation to the California miners. Multitudes of them will doubtless meet with disappointment, and regret having left California. But these arc after considerations. Frazer's river first, and repentance afterwards, will be the order of proceedings.—
