Y., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1855. NUMBER 11. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1855. THE CHURCH TENURE BILL. This important hill, which was passed last week, and which received the votes of nine- tenths of the Legislature, had not heen sign ed by the Governor as late as yesterday fore noon. There was much excitement in Al bany, in consequence of the apprehension that was gaining ground there that the Gov ernor would not sign the bill. A tremen dous influence h a? been employed to induce him to withhold his approval of the measure; and that influence emanates from T hurlow W eed , Bishop H ughes , and other dema gogues and Catholic prelates. It has been a matter of much surprise that the Bill received such an ^overwhelming vote in both Houses. -Two causes operated to secure it—1st. the conviction in the minds of many of the absolute necessity and justice of such a measure; 2d. the direct and powerful appeals in its hehalf on the part of leading and influential Catholics in all parts of the State who are owners of property and tax-payers. W e do not believe that Governor C lark will venture to kill a measure which is so popular and which received so great a vote. Still the retention of his approval of it so long after it reached him, is a suspicious cir cumstance, and connected with the move ments of W eed , H ughes & Co., is well cal culated to excite apprehensions. THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD. The statistics of the New York Central Boad, as reported to the State Engineer for 1854, embrace the following item s: Capital stock fixed by the consolidation agreement, §23,185,600; total amount of capital stock paid in, §23,067,415; total amount of funded debt, $11,947,121. As the Central corporation pays monthly all the expenses of maintaining and operating the road and conducting its business, it has no floating debt. The cost of the road and its equipments to the close of 1854 was $25,- 907,374. The length of the entire road is 562 3-4 m iles; length of double track, 276 3-4 miles; length of branches owned by .the Company, 19 1-2 miles; number of engine houses and shops, 42; number of engines, 175; number of first class passenger cars, 187; do second class and emigrant, 55; number of baggage mail aud express cars, 1,702; whole number of eight-wheel cars, 2,009. During the year 1854 the passenger trains run 2,117,038, and the frieght do 1,200,240 miles. Number of passengers carried in the cars, 2,456,874; number of miles travelled by passengers who were carried one mile, 163,874,473; number of tons of freight (2,000 pounds each) carried in the flig h t trains, 549,805; total movement of freight, or num ber of tons carried, 1 mile, 81,168,080. The average rate of speed o f the ordinary passenger trains, including stops, was 25 miles per hour; rate of speed of the same when in motion, 32 miles; average rate of speed of express trains, including stops, 35 miles; rate of speed of the same when in motion, 40 miles. The average rate of speed of the freight trains in motion was 18 miles per hour. All the expenses of maintaining the road during the year, amounted to $839,637; ex penses of repairing the machinery, $659,091; expenses of operating tho road, $1,589,311. The earnings of the road, from passengers, freight and other sources, amounted to $ 5 - 918,334. The payments made other than for construction, were, for transportation expenses, $3,088,572; for interest, §056,- 513; for sinking fund for debt certiflicates $111,059; for dividends, $1,125,505. ‘•The number of persons injured in life dur ing the year were fort.v-four. Of these three were passengers. One of them, by his own inadvertence, fell from the car while tho train was in motion, and the other two, in violation of a rule of the company, icrrc on (he platform of the car at the time of the ac cident. Of the employees of the company, seventeen were injured in life; five while on the track, for want of caution on tlieir part; five by slip or mis-step, falling under a car; three from collisions; and three were thrown from a hand-car. The others injured in life, twenty-four in number, were neither pas sengers nor employees, but a class of per sons of whom so many are found standing and walking at improper times and places on the track of the road. Twenty-two of the deceased are of this class. They unfor tunately came to their death by being on the track while the trains were passing, when common prudence should have kept them from it. Two lost tlieir lives by climb ing on the bumpers between the cars, to catch a ride unobserved. Two of the above deceased, and two of the seriously injured, were intoxicated. The whole number seri ously injured, was twenty-three. Of these nine were passengers, nine employees, and five of the class mentioned as being neither employees nor passengers.” Opinions of Eminent Men- Against the intiduous wiles of Foreign in fluence—I conjure you to believe me, fellow- citizens—the jealousy of a free people ought to-be constantly awake—since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of a Republican Goverment.—Washington. I hope that we may find some means in future of shielding ourselves for foreign in fluence—political, commercial, or in whatev- er.form it m a y be attempted. I can scarce ly withold myself from joining in the wishes of Silas Deane, that there were an ocean of fire between this and the whole world. In proportion to their numbers they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse in to it their spirit, wrap aud bias its directions, and render it a heterogenerous mass.—Jef ferson. Foreign influence is truly a Grecian horse to tho Republic. We caunot be too careful to exclude its entrance.—Madison. Americans can do their own voting, and their own fighting.— Harrison. Foreigners will render our elections a curse, instead of a hissing.—Yan Buren. If ever the liberty of this Republic is de stroyed, it will be by Roman priests.—La fayette. There is an imperative necessity for re forming the Naturalization Laws of the U. S. —Webster. I t is time that we became a little more Americanized’; and instead of feeding the paupers and laborers of England, feed our own ; or else in a short time , b y our pres ent policy, we shall become paupers our selves.—Jackson.

Correspondence o f the A u b u r n Am erican. THE NATIONAL ERA—“ SAM’S” PROSPECTS IN VIRGINIA AND ALL AL0JTG DOWN SOUTH—THE “ORGAN,” Washington, April 7. A recent statement in the American Or gan in relation to a reported falling off in the circulation of the National Era, the Aboli tion journal here, is not contradicted by the latter; on the contrary, it copies the article and makes it the basis of an appeal to its friends for assistance. The truth is, as I learn from undeniable authority, the circula tion of the Era has fallen off about 7,000 copies during the last year. It printed in 1853 26,000 copies. 1854 23,000 “ 1855 16,000 “ The Era is by far the ablest and most re putable of all the Abolition journals, and its literary merits are undisputed. Whittier, L o w e ll, H e r b e r t , M r s . S t o w e , and o t h e r e m i nent poets and prose writers are among its regular contributors. You inquire as to the “cause” in Virginia. According to the most reliable information, Mr. Wise will be beaten from 5,000 to 10.000 votes. The recent victory in Richmond is a perfect stunner to the Democracy. They counted largely on Whig disaffection toward Patton and Beale, in that staunch Whig city; but, as usual, reckoned without their host. I see prominent politicians almost daily from every section of Virginia, and they all agree in the opinion that Wise must be beaten. The excitement in that State far supasses that of 1840, a n d . the ancient do minion rocks to hjjr very centre. When such veteran Democrat9«is Billy Smith, Bagley Patton, Beade, Hoge and hundreds of others of almost.equal influence, are on the stump against the Richmond Junta, its fall is inev itable. The Americans expect to carry nine of the Congressional Districts in Virginia, and a majority of tlie Legislature. Thus far they have made h u t few nominations for Congress, In tlie Loudoun district a spirited contest is going on between Faulkner and Boteler.- The former is a renegade \Whig and a mem ber of the late Congress. The latter is one of the ablest Whigs in the State and an ora tor of splendid abilities. Old North Carolina is all alive with tlie news of Sam. She will give a personal ac count of herself in August. The Scotch Presbyterian leaven is very strong among her hill folk, and along the Tadkin, the Dan and their tributaries—and the Methodists and Baptists are to he found everywhere in great force. A similar popu lation inhabits the States of Georgia, Ala bama and Tennessee—and they all will give a good account of their stewardship in Au gust and November. Nor will the Creole French of Louisiana be far behind. That in telligent class of persons have long heen op posed to the indiscriminate admission of foreigners into this country, and at the late election in New Orleans gave the American ticket a hearty support. The cause in this city is onward. The members of the order have reached 3800 in a Whig population of about 5000. The red dog of Forneyism will receive another threshing at the charter election in Juno. The American Organ continues to flour ish. Its weekly circulation now exceeds 10,000, of which 3,000 are in Virginia.— This paper has been in existence but four months, and its succes s thus far lias never been paralleled by .ir.y other journal in this section of the country, if elsewhere. A le gion of other journals of tho same princi ples have started up all over tho Southern and Western States. FORWARD. W arning away his I rish C ountrymen . —John O’Connor, late of Parsons town, King county, Ireland, addresses to the London Times the following letter : “New York, March 5, 1855. “In the name of God and humanity, I en treat you to use your power and influential paper to stop the eminigration of my miser able countrymen from poor old Ireland.— they are suffering all kinds of privation here —thousands supported on public charity, lodging in the station houses, and the ther mometer ten degrees below zero ; no work, and no chance of any. “In the midst of this distress 1,200 people landed to-day, and thousands • are expected. Are the people mad that they rush on death and destruction ? The Americans are a lib eral people ; they do all they can, h u t mill ions will not sustain the poor foreigners here. Soup-houses in all the wards are daily crowd ed with the poor. How can it be otherwise? The emigrants land here at the rate of 10,- 000 a week. 460,000 arrived last year, and there will he more this year if not stopped by the interference of humane men in Eng land. The scene here is heart rending. The work in the warerooms, canals, and factories is suspended, which adds to the misery I de scribe.” F ires.—The N. Y. Journal of Commerce collects the principal fires in the United States for the first three months of the pres ent year. They number forty-one, with a loss as follows:— January, $1,325,000. February, 449,000 March, 1,608,000 Total for three months, $2'S82,000 Near six hundred naturalization pa pers were issued out of Judge Carter’s Court, Cincinnati, in the last ton days, pre vious to the late election. * That’s the way the American Party was defeated there. Our naturalization laws give Patrick, Hans & Co., too much op portunity to walk over J onathan . The Seige of the Treasury. It is probable that Hon. W. A. Saekctt, of Seneca, will be appointed Auditor.— Roch.

R e m a r k a b l e P r o p h e c y . — The foUowing remarkable prediction was made by F riar Ba c o n , -who was horn in the year 1214, some 640 years ago. “Here,” says a certain wri ter, “is poetry and philospby wound togeth er, forming a wondrous chain of prophecj’ “Bridges unsupported by arclies will be made to span the foaming current. Men shall descend to the bottom of the ocean, safely breathing, treading with a firm step on the golden sands, never brightened by the light of day. Call h u t the secret powers of Sol and Luna into action, and behold a sin gle steersman sitting at the helm guiding the vessel which divides the waves with greater rapidity than if she had been filled with a crew of mariners toiling a t the oars; and the loaded chariot, no longer encumbered by the panting steeds, shall dart on its course with resistless force aud rapidity. Let the simple elements do their labor; bind the eternal elements aud yoke them to the same plough.” I t is estimated that 100,000 bushels of wheat are stored in Toronto for the Uni ted States market. Messrs. Johnson & Canningtor.of Oswego,have purchased about 25^800 bushels, 10,000 of which have already been shipped. Mr. W. Ross has about 15,- 000 bushels stored. Mr. T. 0. Barrows, has purchased 20,000 bushels, and is daily ncreaslng his stock.— Buffalo Democi'ucy. T he C incinnati E lection . Tho Cincin nati Times says, in relation to the late elec tion in that c ity: THE CITY TICKET—THE CITY CLERK’S COURSE. The candidates on the City Ticket, headed “American Reform,” will not receive cer tificates of election from the City Clerk, he having the highest vote, including tlie mu tilated returns from the Eleventh and Twelfth “Wards, both of which are without the bal lots. One of these returns is accompanied by an affidavit of the Judges giving the rea sons why they are imperfect. One is signed by only two Judges, one has the poll book, and the other has not,—tally sheets and bal lots, there are none for either Ward. Mr. Taylor, and other candidates on the same side also, waited on Mr. Ilulse, the City Clerk, this morning, and made a ’writ ten request for a certficate of election as Maj’or, which was not acceded to by Mr. Hulse, it being understood that Mr. Far an is to get it. This demand on the p art of the American Reform candidates was made m e r e l y f o r t h e p u r p o s e o f b r i n g i n g t h e m a t ter before some proper tribunal, so that its present complicated state m ight be unravel led, and if illegal votes should be discovered sufficient to invalidate the returns of the two missing wards, the same might be de cided, and the parties receiving the majority of the legal votes declared elected to the several offices. The question will doubtless be asked, W hat next ? We are unable to answer it with certainty, b u t presume that a legul ar gument and decision will bo had at as «arly a day as possible. Tlie voters having so nobly sustained the American cause, at the recent election, no less than a prosecution of the affair to a final judicial arbitrament will be expe'cted by them, from the candidates and the party generally. The case will doubtless be well considered, immediately, and such steps taken as may be deemed best for the vindication of National and State honor, and the final triumph of American principles and patriotism. We propose to give the facts in a more definite shape, as soon as possible, probably to-morrow. I t gives us pleasure to add, that the pop- ular excitement is allayed, and that our city presents its usual appearance this morning, heightened hy a bright sunshine, and the hum of industry. From the Rochester American. The Know Nothing Decline. From all parts of the country we hear of Know Nothing victories and Know Nothing defeats, but it is a singular fact that thus far they have not been able to hold their own, even in what was supposed to be their strong est positions. In oflier words, they have not been able to secure a victory twice in succession in the same place. We want no better evidence of its decline than this.- Buff. Republic. Does the Republic take t]ie papers, or is it a party to the fnsion which is loud-mouthed in proclamation of “Know Nothing” losses ? If the “fact” stated by the Republic was true, it would indeed he “singular.” They have not been able to “secure a victory twice in succession in the same place.” Let us see. Twice in succession they have swept Mas sachusetts, including Boston. Twice they have carried Philadelphia. Three tim es in succession they have swept Orleans and Liv ingston counties. Three times in succession they have had a large popular majority in Orleans Co. Twice in succession they have swept Erie, Genesee, and Ghautauque coun ties. They have gained in every county in the State, since last Fall. In November their entire vote in Cortland county was 88, in February over 2,000. In St. Law rence count)’, last Fall, the Ullmann vote was less than one-twelfth of the entire vote. This Spring the Americans carried one-third of the Supervisors. In some 20 counties of this State, out of 386 Supervisors, the Amer icans have 228. The facts are just the reverse of those sta ted by the Republic. The Americans carry nearly all their towns twice and thrice in suc cession, and of the opposition, carry four out of five, the first time they have a fair field. Their vote has doubled since last November in this State, and yet the Fusion organs pre tend to think that they aro dead in New York! W ait till November n e x t ; and, too, it must not be forgotten that the American party is only a year old. In that time it has swept Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is land, New Hampshire and Vermont. It has destroyed the Administration party in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and it is good for Vir ginia and Kentucky a t the next threw. Is this tho progress of a dead party ? Does this wonderful growth pertain to a decaying and demoralized organization ? Is it not rather the symbol of a live and energetic principle ? AWFUL DEPRAVITY! S p a n i s h I n t o l e r a n c e .— The printing of the Protestant Bible, which had been com menced a t Madrid, has just been prohibited by the authorities, while demonstrations are made in the northern provinces of the coun try against the part of the constitution which sanctions liberty of worship. This is the way they manage things in Spain, that ancient seat of Roman Catholic ism. There they not only prohibit theprmt- tng of the Protestant Bible, b u t are even op posed to men’s worshiping tlieir Creator af ter their own belief. Who doubts that if the Roman Catholic Church should ever become as powerful in this country as it is in Spain, that hero also the printing of the Potcstant Bible would be prohibited, and the liberty of Divine worship restrained. To prevent the possibility of such a state of things, is one of the main objects of the American party.— Washington Organ. Opening of the Canals.

A specimen of absent mindedness took place last Friday in the Worcester (Mass.) railroad cars, in which a young lady suddenly arising to close the blind, dropped a precious bottle which was in her lap, causing a crash, and soon the odor of liquor greeted the olfactor ies of the passengers, who had the cruelty to smile, notwithstanding the lady blushed deeply.

It appears that there were two tickets in the field, of whom the superintend ent took cognizance, and these were the Old Line and Independent Deocrats. The good people of Moscow were some what surprised, on the morning of election, to find a placard posted on the polls con taining the names of the above tickets, and stating that votes for other names than those recorded, would not be counted!!! This was issued by the superintendents of the election, who were all Old Liners. However, when the votes came to be counted, it was found that the votes for the above tickets were few in comparison to those of several strange condidatcs, who had not been supposed to be at all anxious for tlio office. Not liking to take the responsi bility of casting out the votes of the most respectable portion of the citizens, and think ing it might not have a good effect, the judg es did count them, and found that some very good officers had been elected by a very fair majority, and that they did not belong to either of the above tickets, either. The sup position immediately arrived a t b y the judg es, was, that S am was around there, certain. “Wherever and whenever, now-a- days, riots occur a t elections, and people are knocked down, beaten, stabbed or shot in the melees, the onus of all the bulk of the responsibility is saddled upon the “Know Nothings.” They are uniformly held to answer for all the deplorable results that grow out of the feverish excitements that are so apt to attend an earnest cSnvass and a hotly contested election. And yet, long before this organization was known, scenes of violence, bloodshed and lawlessness fully equal to any that occur now were the not unusual results of elections in our large cities.

A Devon cow in Layfayette township,New Jersey, in fourteen days yielded 675 lbs, of millc, from which 30 pounds of b u tter were made. This is an average of 49 lbs. of milk a day. Mr. O’K eefe this morning, in the House of Assembtyjtook the initiative step towards the repeal of the odious Prohibitory law just passed, hy giving notice of his intention to introduce a bill for that purpose. Such promptitude was rendered necessary by the summary manner in -which the bill was pass ed through the House, and by which even its friends have found it necessary to give notice of a bill to amend the act. This is not the last we will hear of repeal, between this and the time of meeting for the next Legislature .— Albany Allas. This paragraph is significant. We learn that the programme already marked out by the enemies of the Prohibitory Law aims in its main features to secure the nomination and election next fall of Senators and As semblymen who will go to the Capitol pledged to vote for the repeal of the mea sure just enacted. The preliminary steps in this movement were taken before the bill was approved hy the Governor. A thorough organziation will be instituted with a view to accomplish this purpose. Money will he poured out like water. No stone will he left unturned. And against this point of attack the friends of the measure must fortify themselves. __________________ S tate T ax . —The Register says the hill reported in the Assembly yesterday impos ing a State Tax of one mill and a quar ter, was immediately ordered to a third read ing.

In view of the fact that emigration is fall ing off this year— 8,000 less having arrived at New Yoik, between July 1st. and March 28 (h tliis year, than during the correspond ing period last year—some of our cotempo raries of tlie Press, cry out “Bad too bad /” ‘One of the Mischiefs- of Know Nothing- ism /” <j-c. They certainly overflow with sympathy if they see a cause of regret in the decrease of emigration. Are there not foreigners enough coming ? Are they not reaching our shores at the rate of six or seven thousand every week ? Is not this stream large enough ?— Are not our charitable and criminal institu tions full enough of foreigners y et ? Are not the people sufficiently taxed to feed, clothe, punish , and support foreign paupers and main tain foreign criminals ? If not—if it will be a blessing or a work of mercy and neces sity to increase the mighty human tide that is constantly flowing thitherward — then ex claim “too b a d !” when that stream decreas es ; then anathematise “Sam,” ivhen the number of emigrating Irish, Germans, &c., begins to lessen—but not till then. It may he “too bad,” hut we cannot see how or why it is. If it is the result of the progress and power of the American Party, then do we rejoice in both more than ever before.— We think nothing of a niore salutary char acter could he effected than to check the tide of emigration. It is too great. Thousands are landing in our great cities, in the midst of the inclement season, who become public burdens at once, and who fill up all the hos pitals, asylums, alms-houses, &c. This is all wrong. If “Sam” is remedying this great evil, he is certainly doing a good work. For the A u b u rn Am erican. OUR TAXES. Mr. Dickinson, on Saturday last, introduc ed in the Senate of this State an act entitled “ An act to equalize taxation on the Capital Stock of certain incorporated companies, and to replenish the Treasur3>- of this State.” The title is calculated to make a favorable impression. It is a corporate movement.— It relieves Banlcs and Railroads fr o m all lo cal tax. It is worse than the Railroad loan hill for Auburn, for while it withdraws from local taxation six hundred and forty,four thousand three hundred and seventy-one dollars, it throws upon the diminished and remaining property an increased tax of six thousand four hundred and fourteen dollars and thir ty-eight cents, as will he seen by the follow ing tables: O O Aulmrn City Bank, Bank of A u b u rn,, Cayuga County B'k, N .

It is our painful duty to record one of the most horrible murders that ever occurred in the west. Our citizens- were yesterday thrown into the greatest excitment, by tlie shocking intelligence that a murder had been perpetrated on the morning of that day, in the town of Wayne, in this county, and of the suicide of the murderer, whose name was William Iteiiiser. The circumstances, as we learn them from Dr. Kleffler, who lias just returned from the scene of the horrible tragedy, where he was called to hold an in quest, are as follows : It appears that lleinser, who is about 59 years old, lately married the daughter of the murdered man, (whose name we have not learned) who resided in the town of Wajme. His (Reisner’s wife was only 19 years old. It appears that lleinser has had difficulty with his wife’s father and mother, caused by his infidelity to his wife, and also by the re port that he had a tvife still living in Ger many. His wife’s father had threatened to prose cute him— and on Thursday last, Reisner was in this village, and report says he drank quite freely of liquor while here. Ae went home Thursday evening—and yesterday morning, he shot his wife’s mother through the head, killing her instantly—and then shot his father-in-law through the throat, mortally wounding him—and lastly himself. He shot himself in the head, pressing the trigger with his foot, killing him instantly.— This morning, Reinser’s father-in-law was still living, b u t he cannot long survive. A hole was dug in the ground, and Reisner’s remains were placed therein, like those of a dog, d o coffin or shroud being used. This awful mnrder has sent a thril of hor ror tlironghout the community, and the aw ful event will n o t soon he forgotten. The age of the wounded man is about 60 years—that ;of his Jwife was about 50 years .— West Bend ( Wis.,) Organ.

The telegraph reports the following dis graceful but quite characteristic occurrence: Oxford, N. Y., April 9. A most disgraceful riot occurred in this place yesterday ^morning. I t appears that a Roman Catholic, who had heen recently married hy a P rotestant clergyman, and in consequence excommunicated, entered the Catholic Ohurch in company with a Protes tant friend, while the congregation were as sembled for public worship. The priest Father Gallon, immediately ordered the man to be put out, which order was faithfully executed by both male and female attend ants. A t the door a fight, in which the priest’is said to he implicated, commenced. The exercises in the Church were suspended, and the crowd adjourned to the nearest ho tel, where a more general fight ensued be tween the Catholics and Protestants, iu which the former came off second hest.— The priest was arrested, and is now in cus- tody, as are also several more of the rioters. No fire-arms were used and no lives lost,but many persons were badly injured. All is quiet this morning, and the examination of those arrested is being proceided with. High-handed proceedings of this charac ter indicate the brutality, arrogance and tyranny of the foreign-born Priests of the Romish Church. They are, for the most part, ignorant, bigoted, cruel, and thorough ly hate everything in the shape of Protes tantism or religious tolerance. If unre strained by the institutions and laws of our country, they would every day be guilty of enormities as flagrant as those habitually practised by them in Catholic countries, where the civil and religious power of the Papacy reigns supreme.
