Twenty Thousand J
Democratic Sheriff, Register, and Clerk of the
Orphans' Court of the City elected by 1000 to
1300 majorities.
Ciichwati, Oct. 11.
Ohio still in doubt, Chase runs behind his ticket
somewhat; Hamilton county gives Medill 5000
majority. County elections in Indiana show De
mocratic gains generally.
That our readers may see what it is that
the democrats of Pennsylvania have whipt, we
remind our readers that know-nothingisra, aboli
tionism, and all the other isms combined against
democracy, the fusion having been announced in
the following circular:
TO THE PEOPLE OF PNX3TLVA5IA.
The Whig party, the Republican party, and the
JLttierican party, having each nominated a candi
date for Canal Commissioner, it became apparent
that such a division of the elements of opposition
to the National Administration and its Nebraska
fraud, would inevitably lead to the triumphant elec
tion of Arnold Plumer, the pro-slavery Nebraska
candidate. In view of these facts, a meeting of our
respective Central Committees of said parties wa3
held at Harriaburg, on Thursday, the 27lh of Sep
tember, 1855, and their nominees having declined
and been withdrawn, Thomas Nicholson, of Beaver
county, was nominated as the candidate of the said
parties, for the purpose of concentrating tho vote3
of the anti-Nebratk Dartv on one man. and he is
hereby earnestly recommended to all the lovera of
Jrpedom m Pennsylvania as a capable, honest, and
true-hearted man, who is worthy of the support and
9nfidence of the people.
By order of the Committee.
Johh A. Fishsh,
Chairman of Whig State Committee;
Limcel Todd,
Chairman of American State Committee;
DaYID WlLJtjT,
Chairman of Republican State Com.
OHIO.
The telegraphic despatch in our paper this morn
ing ayi that "Ohio is in doubt." The reader will
bear In mind that the doubt is whether the demo
crats have beaten, the abolitionists or not. The
Imowno thing candidate is not known in the race!
THE FIRST WEEK IS THE HOUSE.
m Oar constant engagements for the week past as
Secretary to the State Agricultural Bureau, have
prevented us from giving that attention to the first
-week of the session which its incidents demand
i -and our readers may have expected.
f The unusual delay attendant upon the election
of a Speaker to the Chair, at the expense of the
public treasury, must be accounted for to the peo
ple; and the extreme eagerness with which gen
tlemen upon the know-nothiDg side of the Cham-
ber, and tteir city press, have endeavored to ward
I off anticipated blows, well indicates their own sense
I of popular condemnation.
" With a well ascertained minority of know-nothing
members of the House, they set to work to
control the action of that body in the selection of
a Speaker. They had the co-operation of two
members who are committed against the know
nothing movement. Thus situated, with a ma
jority cf one, it was their duty to have gone on
( and selected a Speaker, as was done in the other
end of the capital at the first meeting of the Sen
. at. Usage and custom in all deliberative bodies
7 had clearly established a precedent in a rule of
courtesy which the most fastidious might have
tallowed. Our readers will observe that with a
simple majority of on?, the two candidates, by
throwing off their votes defeat a majority for either
of the entire vote ; and that under such a state of
circumstances the only means of securing a Speak
er by the majority rule was for the candidates to
vote for themselves, leave the House, or vote for
. each other. The first, voting for himself, it was
' presumed no honorable man would do. The sec
ond, leaving the house, would be virtually the same
thing. The third, that of voting for each other, was
( the proper alternative, and freed from all embar-
raiment by having become an established prece
' dent and acted upon as necessary to an election
both by our last and present Senatorial body. Gov
Bkowx, however, took a different view of the
subject; and his ability and experience in parlia
t entary usage renders it but the more surprising
I that be should have done so.
Gov. Browx's name was called first upon tho
roll, and refusing to extend the courtesy of his
vote to his opponent, Gen. Donelsos, he could not
expect that gentleman to vote for him. It would
have been a piece of arrogance in keeping with
know-nathingism, but not with the character of its
andidate. Ar.d yet Gov. Brown must have
known that otherwise no election could be effect
ed under tho majority rule. This being the case,
then, we have but one other conclusion, and that
is, that Gov. Brown's mind must have been from
the start directed to the plan finally fallen upon, as
the means by which he would occupy the Chair
that was, the adoption of a rule, at war with pie
cedent as they admit, that a plurality should elect.
nate in selecting this as the meana by which he
would be elected, from the fact that it places him
in the much more delicate position of having by
oting for the resolution fixing the plurality rule,
virtually tinted for himself. The plurality resolu
tion could only be carried by his vote, and without
that resolution he could not be elected, and thus in
voting for it and thereby making himself Speaker
h only changed the mode of doing the same thing
5 thing that has but one precedent in the history
jf Tennessee politicians, and none, we believe,
.mong gentlemen of such high position as Gov.
Bsowjt hai attained. Why he thought proper to
juraue this, to him, most unfortunato course, can
. .. ,1 r.,- nnltr nrwin tVip rrrnnnrl that Onr
t.l a third degree member of the new order, and
,rs
A
1
b.d taken the oath to vote for no man for a high
polite 1 pesitionwhowasnotamemberthereof. As
this wrs the first Legislature in Tennessee into
which know nothingism has been introduced, it
was to be expected that the rules', obligations and
oaths of its Councils would in some way cotfl ct
with the ru'es and established pre-edents of legis
lative assemblies.
With tlii3 statement of facts, as shown by the
reports of the proceedings, the people will easily
see where to fix the responsibility for waste of
public time. And they will also see that such
things will continue to occur so long as an outside
organization endeavors, by its action, to U3urp the
legislation of the country Bed to proscribe rules of
action for its members paramount to tnose pre
scribed for the House or adopted by usage.
Some defense has been attempted upon the plea
that a "factious minority" were attempting to con
trol the majority. We presume that none of the
city press will deny that know-nothingism b in the
minority in the douse, from the recent public de
claration of its members, and in view of the addi
tional fact that they have been defeated in every
other officer of the House, with perhaps the single
exceptiou of assistant door keeper. But upon
this it is needless to caviL If they had a majority
they had the power to elect at any ballot. Why did
they not do it? They certainly did not expect the
democrats to elect their man when they could elect
him themselves. He did not suit our members.
There might have been others upon their side ol
the chamber, as suggested to them) by the gentle
man from Maury, who would have given more
general satisfaction. Gov. Brown had indicated
several by his own vote as worthy of the position,
among them the gentleman from Henderson, Mr.
Gallowat. Why did they not make a trial of
some one of these gentlemen ? These are delicate
questions to answer; and in that very fact lies the
evidence of their responsibility. It is upon them,
and all their evasive shifting cannot avert it from
them. They have got the bauble, and must pay
the price.
Gov. Brown, we have no doubt, pursued the
course he took from the earnest persuasions of his
friends. We do not think he wnnted the position
of Speaker for any honor or emolument he would
derive from it. His party doubtless knew that it
could place no other man in the Speaker 3 char,
and he yielded to the importunities of the know-
nothings. We are sure that he regrets the neces
sity which compelled him, in acceding to the wishes
of the minority party in the House, to owe his po
sition to a resolution which could not have been
passed without his own vote.
The course of Gen. Donelson, throughout the
contest, we need not say was frank and honorable.
He had no desire to be elected Speaker. He was
placed in the position of a candidato by his politi
cal friends, against his wishes; having accepted the
nomination, he left the result in the hands of the
majority.
GEORGIA ELECTIOS.
We give below an extract from a -letter from
Georgia to a gentlemen in this city, which gives
later returns than we have heretofore received:
Jonssax beats both Andrews and Overbt be
tween 4 and 8000, some say 10,000. We have
no full returns as yet. My opinion is he will beat
Andrews 12,000 votes, and both, say 5,000. Cobb
is elected by (according to rumor) 33 to 3500 votes'
Lumpkin by 1200, so says rumor. Trippe know'
nothings by 1000. Foster know-nothing by 125'
Ssward by 1000. Crawford by 300. Warner by
76 vote9, and A. H. Stephens by 200 certain.
The dems. elect their Governor, 6 out of 8 mem
bers to Congress, and have a majority in the Leg,
islature. The know-nothing3 have been met, and
received a merited and glorious defeat, wool hat,
horse, footand dragoons all routed. Johnson beats
Andrews bad in the 8th district The know-nothings
give it up, but say, 'Twill be better next time.'
I think there are 10,000 more anties now than there
were before the election. Varon is beaten for
Judge Columbus County went for Johnson. In
fact every county in Alex's district, (8th) went for
Johnson excep t Richmond.
Double Election in Kansas. On Monday last
the election came off in Kansas for a Delegate to
Congress. Gen. Whitfield, the pro-slavery candl
date is doubtless elected, as the abolitionists, refu
ing to recognize the validity of the legislature, made
no opposition to him. Things are presenting a
queer appearance in the new Territory, and we may
expect results of alarming importance from the sin
gular state of affairs existing there. The anti-slave
ry party" have nominated ex-Governor Reeder,
whom they will elact on the second Monday in Oc
tober. The claims of Messrs. Whitfield and Reeder will
be presented to the next Housa of Representatives
for settlement, where we may expect another slave
ry war in full force. The abolitionists seem deter
mined to have Kansas, and the South is beginning
to have serious fears for the result.
We notice that several counties through this
Stato are adopting the warfare of ths enemy, and
are organizing "Emigrant Aid Societies" to ad
vance our cause in the coming contest.
Personal. We had the pleasure of a call from
our old friend R. G. Payne, Lsq., of Columbia. Mr.
Payne is one of the ablest lawyers in the State.
Dunne the late canvass for Governor, he did val
iant service in behalf of the great principles of our
party. His efforts will bo long remembered, with
pride and pleasure, by the Democracy of Middle
Tennessee. He has but few equal? on the stump,
and those of Sam's bays who had the courage to
meet him in debate were made to feel that it was
a Painful meeting to them. Central Democrat,
A man named Ainsworth, charged with murder,
was recently placed in jail in Do Witt county, Tex
as, a lew nignis alter, a gang oi men proceeded
to the prison, and broke open a door which seems
to have been in the top of the cell. Through this
they then dropped an ignited turpentine ball, by the
light of which they could plainly see the situation
of the p-isoner. They then di liberately murder
ed Ainsworth, firing successively four different vol
leys of buckshot until he was killed. The cries of
the victim for help, and his sreeams of pain, were
distinctly heard by persons clcee at hand, not one
of whom, ho fvever, would venture to his assistance.
An undertaker was before the police mag
istrate in Buffalo on Thursday last, charged with
unlawfully detaining a dead body from the relatives
of tho deceased. He had buried it in tho cemetery
under instructions, and demanded the payment of
the funeral expense, $IJU, belore he would show
where it was. The friends of the deceased, per
sons from abroad, resisted this claim, and had the
undertaker arrested. He was held in bail The
complaint has been met on his part by an action
against them for false imprisonment
tSf The new liquor law of Pennsylvania being
announced to go into operation from and after
Monday last, the hard drinkers cf Pittsburg, and
vicinity, had a grand farewell "spree" on Satur
day. Several disgraceful riots occurred, and the
police bad much difficulty in enforcing order. In
Alleghany City a regular battle took place. The
police, however, soon put the rioters to flight, but
made no arrests.
