I The First Nathmid Bank of CartemI dale, Pennsylvania, was robbed of $lO, 000 on the 14th insL, in a daring a nianner. While the cashier whs alone 1 in the hank, two men came in. one of B them asking to have as& bill changed. B The cashier was comply ing with the re- ■ quest, when he was ‘seized by one of M the men and firmly held while the other pimeukd to bind and gag the unfortunate official. .They then hastily gathered together SIO,OOO in currency and decamped. In the afternoon of the same day two men were arrested on suspicion,, and the cashier thinks they were the perpetrators of the deed. , L The Pacific Mail investigation is I- creating considerable excitement in po--1 litical and social cibcles in Washington b and elsewhere, and many men who have I heretofore been above suspicion, are now shbwn to have received large amounts to insure their influence in favor of the Paerffi: Mail subsidy. R. B. Irwin who stands in Um same relation to this investigation that O. Ames did to that of Ae credit mobilicr, is making some I damagißg statements before the committee on waysand means investigating I this particular transaction, and his ■ evidence goes to show that he disbursed the sum of $53S,<kM5 for that purpose, of which sum J. G. Schi maker. a democratic congressman, received the snug little sum of $300,000. We are sorry to chronicle the fact that several prominent member* of the press are connected with the matter in away which reflects no credit upon the protemion. ■ ‘ ...

ELECTION 01 UNITED BTATX3 SENATOM.

' ' THE DOINGS OF CONGRESS 1 AVe have -heretofore said but .little in j regard to tW doings of congreSA. from II the f.u k tha: nineh of the tine- of that bcklyHiaslMM-n taken up with u hM,seeuis , to us useless discussions of Louisiana < affairs. It is necessary that some action | , should lx- taken in regard to the affairs ' | of that iti-ur»- the Sitfclty of her | . ’ but violent speeches made by , ' members of the seriate are cu|cuhit<tsl ! >1 to inflame the minds of the citizens of | ’ both sections to such an extent as L»| , prevent a peaceable settlement of i ■ difficulties under which that state i> lalstring. Almost any question ’-which arises jn the halls of congress is sure to j bring on allusion from one i>arty or the I. . other to the troubles in that state, when,! . a general disciLssion is sure to ensue,! which can result’in nothing more than , bitter enmity on the part of those en-| gaging in it, ami prevents calm and considerate action which wise statesmanship and good judgment would dic- ■ tate. The welfare of our common country demands that this course should be. - pursued in order to give ja-ace and a good government to Louisiana. Until t the rej>ort of the committee now investigating Louisiana affairs is made public, tlie discussion of that question in the halls of congress is premature and not dictated by wise statesmanship. By for the most important measure before the senate, aside from Louisiana affairs, is the proposed amendment to the constitution, making the president -i and vice president of the United States 1 elective by the people, a copy of which will be found in another column of this paper. The question was up for consideration on Friday last, when iUwas ' postponed until yesterday. AVe have ' no further news concerning the fate of i the measure up to &>ing to press. Then mom to be a disposition man-

ifested on the. part of the democratic members of the house to prevent the passage of the necessary appropriation bills to carry on the government, for the puriwse, as is alleged, of compelling the calling of an extra session immediately after the 4th of March, when that iwliticill organization will have control of the lower house of congress, and can shape legislation in their own interests. It will be a happy day for our country when our legislators understand that their business is to work for the interests rtf the whole country, regardless as to how it may affect thw or that political orgiuiization. AVe are a republican, and as such, prefer seeing that party in ]»wer, but we would wot see the interests of our common 'country suffer, even to save the life of that political organization.

The person having the hipest number of votes for president in the state shall receive two presidential votes from the state at large. X The person haging the highest number of prrnirtrrittit votes inAhe United States shall be pnstoest. A II two persons have the saeaamberet votes

in any state, being the highest number, they ! shall receive each one presidential vote from the i state at large, and if more than two persons shall liave eack the same nthnber of votes in any state, it being the highest number, no presidential vote shall l>e counted from the state at large. If more persons than one shall have the same number of votes, it being the highest number in any district, no presidential vote shall be counted from that* district. 5. The foregoing provisions shall apply to the election of the vice president. 6. The congress shall havepowef to provide tor holding and conducting the elections of president and riec president, and to establish tribunals for the decision of such elections as may be contestetl. x & The state shall be divided into districts by the legislatures thereof, but congress may at anytime by law make or alter the same. On the following day it came up for discussion, which was participated in by senators Moktox, Tiivrman and CoxKLixd.

Ou r A '«• Monday afternoon the, fiiHw ettught fire, j blit was extinguished, as was supped, without causing any alarm, over four hundred students being in the building at the time. About 7 o’clock, however, ■ \ it was discovered that the fire had again broken out, and before the fire compan-; les reached the s]*>t, the whole basement was in a blaze. Owing to a lack j of water and other causes, the tlames could not be sulxlued. and in a short ; [ s . time the entire bnilding was a mass of /smoldering ruins. In regard to the loss, the Goshen Tint cs, of last Week, 1 i, » ■ .says: A new addition was added to the ' | building dast year at an expense of I about and the entire structure ( ! ■ had been furnishetl with new and improved seats, apparatus, &c„ at a large s 1 additional cost. At the time of this improvement, new furnaces were put in, ’ • but they proved to be inn»erfect and ; finally eausedk>tlie destruction of the 'building. The entire i loss, including books* &C., burned, is estimated atTri'm 815.000 to 818.000, on which there is an insttrauee df 87,000 in*the HoineCiL \ ■ • of.New York. ; • In the race for seats at the legiil profession has generally tl e ■’inside track, but the Jipine legislative , IxHlies contain a letter proportion of 1 other classes of the' community. The honest farmer, the village d<x*tor, or an* occasional clergyman, in his rural simplicity, deems it an hon< r to be permitted t«> write “ Honorable" before his name,' and is allowed the privilege. In son.e , remote districts where the caucus is as , exemplary in its deliberationas a prayer meeting, they rotate in legislative duty; and when they say; “ It’s Squireßb-and-So’s turn this year,” that settles it as ellectu.dlvjds if all the known dev’ -. < of politivfliad 1•• en brought into play in procuring the nomination. In Delaware, which has the reputation of being a quiet aiid sober little common-’ wealth, the newly elected legislature, it is said, does not contain a single lawyer, and we iiarr say that tlje state will not g<> to ruin in the next year or two •because »f tlyit fact.
