RICHMOND PALLADIUM! Friday Moriii(, April e, la. "

Great Riot ia ClaeiaaOn Tuesday last there wu a fcigl of belligerent spirit in the Queen city. The election on Monday was cloasly contested between a St mot lkAI jfvnnjwv.Amv.4 m Smwasrl Uie American party "i r""-"' charge of corruption and outrage were made against each Mother. The mot prominent cause of the difficulty wu the fact, that the Germans has borrowed of an American Military company, a brass cannon, to be fired on 'he day of the election in honor of the birth ...f Thomas Jefferson. In the afternoon a .lifficulty occurred at one of the polls, and the j Vmricans went to where the Germans were 'iiing the cannon, and took it from them, brought it into the city, and fired it off to rrify the Germans, and then placed it in heir armory. Tb Germans took it again and -ilared it in a shed above the canal. It was soon rumored throughout the city that the Germans .nu-nik-d to Ube it against the Americans. It was further reported that in case Pap Taylor was defeated, the foreigners intended to burn Sim in effigy. The Americana justly incensed U such a threat, determined to punish such u outrage if attempted. In the afternoon immense crowds thronged Vine Street from the canal to the foot of the hill. The 'Germans jeeupj iog the northern portion of the street. Iu the evening the Germans fortified them- j Mrlvts by erecting a barricade of wage Irs, ! Irays, carts, fec, across Vine Street another ' across Walnut. They had two pieces of can- j noD loaded ready for action, and every indi- i i idual was armed with something from a J boulder to a musket. About 10 o'clock at j night, a band of some four hundred reckless men and boys, with a dram and fife and banker, crossed the bridge, and thus invaded German territory. They were immediately rircd upon. One msn, G. B. Monroe, of Indiana, was killed, and five more wounded ne of those, it is thought, mortally. During this time there was an immense rowd of Americans at the Fifth Street Mar ket Space. Distinguished citizens were every where counseling peace and pleading against bloodshed. It was with great difficulty the ' crowd could be restrained. It was finally ; agreed that if an attempt were made by the , Germans, the great fire bell should give one stroke, when all disposed to "pitch in" were . authorized to do so. One or two military n in j anies were under arms, ready to march ; it a moment's warning. The fire boil did not bound the 'alarm, and in waiting for it, quiet j was restored. Sentinels however marched ! their rounds, and were ready at any moment J to send forth a call "to arms. It is to be hoped that this may close the record of this great excitement, and the further t (fusion of blood may be stayed. Collisions of this kind are much to be regretted by all good citizens and it is the duty of all to pre vent them if possible. We are opposed to the proscription of any men. of whatever class or country; but if foreigners should so far for 'et their duty to their adopted country, as to E lection ia Kansas. The telegraph announces the perpetration f another fraud in Kansas, by the illegal voting of the Slave holders of Missouri. It vas hoped that the care and prudent foresight vf Gov. lieeder would have secured a different ,-esult from that which the returns indicate !he success of the pro-slavery ticket. But if true, that thousands of Missourians went there, and by brute force put their votes into the ballot box, the retribution will only visit them ' ho more severely. Kansas will never be a i'lare State. It may be a Slave territory, but he people of the north will not submit to its .ulmission as a Slave Sta'e. The determination is fixed in the minds of the free people f the north, and be the consequences what they may, Kansas will be free' The advocates of Slavery may shout over this infamous triumph of theirs; but it will be a bhout without an echo, v Before their schemes can be consumated, hundred of thousands of free men will make it the battle ground tor freedom the Thermopylae pass which is to stay the encroachments of slavery. We shall next week be able to speak more definitely of the result of this election. Pantological System or Histobt, bt F. W. 1 1 u st.

As a Geographical map shows at a glance the relative position of placet, with all their associations, the Historical maps display before the eye, on apian equally intelligible, the succession of events, their relation to each other, and the frame work of our National and State Governments, interwoven with the most important facts, and statistics which make the upward growth of our country facts which every reader feels it important to know, but which no memory can retain.

"As goes Boston so goes the State!"

Periins. Wherk'i Elder? At the election on Mon-1 day last, in that strong bold of democracy, rendered immortal by the declaration of Judge Perkins, that "as goes Boston, so goes the State," the Old Liners cared in flummixed howed no fight. One hundred and fire votes were cast, and eighty-three of these were for the American ticket. A few of the Sag Nichts roted blanks, and a lew of the unterrified, who did not know they were dead, returned to rote for an Old Liner for Justice. It is supposed that the twelTe blank rotes were cast by the officers of the Sag Nicht lodge, who by the color of their Uckets, were the most conBurna,te Know Nothings out of doors The troth of the prophecy is verified, for "as goes Boston, so goes the State."

The returns as counted out, elect the American ticket; but as two of the ballot boxes were destroyed by a mob, it is probable a new election will be held. "Sam's" majority in St. Louis, is eleven hundred. The American candidate for Mayor in Cleveland beat Ex Gov. Wood 500 votes. In Charleston, S. C. the American party succeeded by 130 majority. The American party carried the election in Indianapolis. Returned. Our neighbor Elder has returned home from the east, where it is reported Y t tn attend a crarrd convention of the of tbe s,g Nicht8. Wh.t was done. outsiders have no means of knowing. The most "horrid oaths" bind the members to secrecy, and our neighbor would be among the last to disclose anything that transpired. So we will have to "bide our time." CojfSECTierT Election. The result of the election in this state is known and is as follows: The Know Nothings and Whigs elect eighteen of the twenty -one Senators, and two-thirds of the Representatives. There is no choice for Governor by the people. The votes for the K. N. and Democratic candidates are about the same. Mvwterioaa DisnpiMenvraaCe Oreat Ezcitemeat Probable Decani pru en tW.

Cambridge City JTews. A Horrible Deed. We have just learned the particulars of one of the most horrible tragedies which has ever startled the citizens of any community, and we stop the press to girs them to our readers. It appears that a gentleman by the name of A. Steer, had been paying his addresses to a young grass widow, the mother of two intereating children, and rumor has it that they were engaged to be married. The husband who resided in the neighborhood hearing of this anticipated marriage, become possessed with the ragings of jealousy, and immediately set about concocting plans with which to frustrate it. He enlisted the assistance of another person, and the two first endeavored to persuade Mr. Steer to drink with them: failing in this, they became enraged and one of them, a Mr. Butcher, seized an axe, and dealt him several blows fracturing the skull and killing him instantly. After the murder they endeavored to dispose of the body by cutting it to pieces and packing it in a barrel. This horrible deed was perpetrated about four miles north of this place. As vet no arrests bare bean made. Cambridge City A sirs.

3?"Judge Perkins premature opinion, de-

fiveredontbe prohibitory liquor law, meets with a Tery cool reception from tren his pupil the distinguished editor of the Jeffersonian; he thinks it has created quite a difference of sentiment with the 'old liners' in these diggins,' and. taken as a whole, seems to conclude that his master erred somewhat in judgment and that the said legal opinion was one "not fit to be made." There was a rumor at Indianapolis that a bill had passed the Legislature abolishing the offices of Township Clerk and Township Treasurer, requiring them to be filled by the Trustees themselves. But we have our Indianapolis dailies down to last Monday inclusive, and as no such law has been published in them up to that date (but a week before the day of the spring election.) it ought to be safe to presume that the report was an error, and that the offices are to be filled next Monday, - The editor of the Indianapolis State Journal says this is an error. The Secretary of State informed the editor of the Journal these offices were not abolished. The Governor's salary, which under the constitution, cannot be increased during the term of the present incumbent, was by hook and by crook augmented from 81300 to 85000. by allowing 81600 for "family expenses," and certain fees for signing swamp land patents. Brookvilli American. We know another gentleman who received "perquisites" from some quarter, as he held offi.e but two years, his salary being 81,000, yet, after giving up. he is able to enter 10.000 acres of land, while it was a notorious fact that before entering upon the duties of his office, he had not a piece of property in the world but what was under mortgage. He made a purchase of 8100,000 worth of books for the State of Indiana, of Harper fe Brothers, New York, and some say that the publishers made a present to him of 820,000 for giving them the preference. Putnam County Banner. Who is hit by that brickbat, Bro. Patrick? We hope Bro. Larrabee has not been buying 10,000 acres of land! The Cincinnati Election FigbU Riots an Bloodshed. The election yesterday was a deeply excit ing one, fc was characterized by scenes which all good citizens must regret. The fights in some instances began in the morning with the opening of the noils. At the Fourth Ward there was a fight, in which several persons participated, but we believe no particular inr . i a" jury was lnruereu on any one. in tne dixteenth Ward, American judges were chosen. This led to some hard words and a fight, in which three or four persons were pretty severely beaten. In the Eleventh a difficulty arose early in the afternoon. It was rumored that the Germans would not permit Americans to vote, and in consequence of this rumoT a party of seven or eight Americans went up to see what was the state of things and to help their friends to get in their votes. A German was arrested by the police officers. and as they were taking him away he was res cued, and officer Carey severely beaten on the ground. The Americans were soon informed, and towards six o'clock the fighting was resumed, in the course of which a man named George Reeder was severely, and it is supposed fatally, s tabbed. Dr. Brown was hit on the head with a colt and much hurt, and M r. 1 lil'doVi'fiTin- frfo W, fhe Ballot-box seized, taken out of the house, broken in pieces and the tickets scattered about the streets. A party then went up to Jackson's hill to seise the cannon, which had been used yesterdays to fire minute guns in honor of Jefferson's birth-day. The gun was captured. The sword was taken from the captain of the gun squad, and the flag which belonged to it, was carried off and planted on the Engine House, where tne polls were, tne crowa soon alter .

Death of Sksator Phelps. Hon. S. S. Phelps. ex-United Slates Senator from Vermont, died at Middlebury on the 25th inst. He was possessed of the most extraordinary mind, and the rarest peculiarities of any statesman of his time. While his great talent was to be admired on all occasions, his habits, temper and jealous feeling, totally unfitted him for social intercourse iu any form whatever. He loved to compare intellectual strength with his fellows, but he would fail to imbibe the least genial spirit from the gayest party ever assembled. Though he will scarcely be missed, Vermont has lost the greatest intellectual son she ever had.,

Eiectioa ia Kaasas. Lexisgtos, March 23. Thousands of actual residents have gone from Missouri to Kansas. Hundreds from Cooper, Randolph. Howard and Saline, are passing here daily. Weather mild; river fallinc fast. The excitement in Kansas, and all alcna: the counties borderin? on that Territory, is intense. It is charged that Governor Reeder communicated to the New England Abolition - ists. a month or more ago, the precise time when the election ol members of the Legislature was to take place, but kept tb same intelligence concealed from the people of Kanus. and of Western Missouri, and they are

justly indignant at tbe trickery. 1 here will , be tremen lendous excitement at the election on a inst. above we cut from the St. Louis IUthe 30th The publican, received last night. The election in Kansas ia of the highest importance, and the result will be looked tor witn marneu interest. We should like to be miormea wnat right the people from the counties in Missouri, have to interfere with tne ivansas eiecuon. and especially why should Governor Reeder take pains to inform the people of Western Missouri when the election in Kansas was to be held. Whv should they "be justly indignant?" What right have they to interfere with the election? We hope that the hardy northern pioneers who have gone to settle the wilds of Kansas, will maintain their rights, put down usurpation, and base the institutions of their infant settlement upon those principles of freedom in which they were nurtured on the shores of the ocean.

It seems there j was a slight tinge of Romance attending the ' wooing and marriage of this young actress According to the New York Courier, Miss Dean, two years ago, played an engajement in Charleston. S. C., from which she realized thousand dollars, and was complimented by some of her admirers with a splendid head , ornament, valued at 81,500. Among the committee of presentation was young Dr. . Hayne, son of Senator Hayne. Dr. Hayne then become personally acquainted with Miss ; Dean, and a mutual feeling of admiration was 'awakened, which resulted in the marriage. Dr. Hayne is about twenty-six years old. ' He is not a man of wealth. His mother, on !

The steamer Black Warrior with advices from Havana to the 29th ull. has arrived at this port. Several additional arrests had been made at Havana, among them are Don Carlos, Castillo, the manager of the Bank of Havana, and Don Alcozas, a wealthy broker; their only crime seems to be having expressed sympathy for Pinto. Mr. Robertson, " the acting United States Consul, it is understood, has sent in such a strong protest against the so called trial of Estrampes and Felix, as to induce the Captain General to refer the matter to the Spanish minister at Washington, before he carries the sentence into execution. An announcement has been given forth that six companies of colored militia are to be stationed at Havana. The Pre-paymeat of Letters. The Postmaster of New York city, recently wrote to the Postoffiee Department, for further instruction in regard to the new postage law. The P. M.

If not attended to, such letters must be returned monthly, to the Dead Letter Office. 2. Letters part paid should be dispatched, charged with the additional postage due at the prepaid rate, according to distance, established by said act, except where the omission to pay the correct amount ia known to have been intentional, when they should be treated the same as letters wholly unpaid. 3. It is proper to forward a letter when requested, in writing. When forwarded, no additional postage should be charged if the letter, contrary to its address, has been mis sent. If it has been sent according to its address, and then forwarded, it must be charged with additional postage at the prepaid rate, accor ding to distance, established by the act of 4.

We are informed that the old sulphur spring, which a few years ago was located in the bed of Falling Run, near the old bridge on the lower Vincennes road. out wnicn lor tbe last lew years had disappeared, broke out yesterday about two hundred feet up the side of the knob, just above the place where, some years ago, some of our citizens were boring for salt water or coal. The water, which in times past was of a slight vi.'.l : t i . . . uiuisu uuga, iias cnangeu color with the change of location, and now is of a deep lilac color, and more strongly tinctured with medicinal qualities than formerly. The stream as it issues from the spring, is raised to the height of some three and a half feet, and presents a beautiful appearance. It is well worth a visit, to view this wonderful freak of nature. Some of the water is now in the hands of a skilful chemist and as soon as thoroughly analysed we will endeavor to lay the result Deiore our readers. .V. A. Tribune, 31r.
