Halifax, Jan. 2. The steamer Niagara from Liverpool, on Saturday, the 19th arrived at an early hour this morning, en route for Boston. The news by this arrival, except in the commercial way, is unimportant. Cor.

Bashford and kW Administration. A few words respecting the Administra tiou of Gov. Bashford, which has just clos. ed, will not be deemed inappropriate at thi8 time. When nominated for the office, he was rather a new man in the State.

In the State Senate, where he servtd for three years previous, he had for the most prat acquired the refutation he possessed, as a person qualified From Washington. Washington, Jan 1. It seems settled that the Administration will defend Com. Paulding. Should General Walker attempt to leae he will be re-arrested.

The government designs prosecuting him, aud a member of the Cabinet has ven tured the opinion that he will be sent to tne State prison. On Tuesday or Wednesday next, Mr. Pugh of Ohio will introduce into the Senate a bill tor the immediate admission of Kansas as a State, under the Lecompton Constitution. The bill provides that the first Legislature of the State shall submit to the people wnetner or not the slavery clause shall be added to the Constitution, also that the first or any subsequent Legislature may submit to the people whether they will call a convention to amend or altar the whole constitution. This will meet the approval of almost every Democratic Senator.

Dispatches! to the Post say the Cabinet has at last taken ground that Walker is interrupting the Transit Route. The fire-eaters are thereby enraged. Toombs in the Senate and Ouitman in the House, will offer active motion against the Cabinet policy, and de- fend Walker. Gen. Scott arrived last night, and is clos eted with the President and Secretary, War.

Their deliberations are supposed to refer to the Utah expedition and to the best means of reinforcing Col. Johson's army. Walker has formally demanded indemnity from the United States Government for the outrage inflicted on the Territorial Govern ment ot in the extradition oi ner dictator by Com. Paulding. Dispatches Ito tke Tribune say the Demo cratic members are all for Lecompton, not withstanding the blavery clause.

Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, Chairman of the Committee on Territories, means to report Kan-as and Minnesota in one bill, and try to drive it through by the previous question, without going into the Committee of the Whole. News from Kansas. St. Louis, Dec.

VlNSLYKE, T. BROWN. who have been committing these depredations in and about our village for the past four weeks, have at last been caught and se- ured to await their hnal trial. Much credit is due Messrs. Davis and Robinson for the nergy and perseverance they have manifes ted in ferreting out these scamps, and pests of community, and bringing them to justice.

Iheir examination was had cm baturday ot ast week, and Alomlay and Auesaay of this week, before justcs Mor- thuin, Potter and lleaih. The lticts that were elicited on tie examination were substantially as follows K. Wil'ard, a young man living in Neei.ah, was at the Globe Ho tel on Monday evening alter the robbery waa committed, aud ascertaining that the ('flicers were on the track of Childs, alia Jack Oakum, and about to leave for llor- tonville in pursuit, he left and in about ten minutes returned coolly remarking to Mr Davis that he need not ko any further after the thieves as he had just been shot at and stabbed by one ot them on the island, and had taken from his fuct a pair of false whiskers, as Ins trophy. His conduct, the tune lie was absent, and the inconsistency aud contradictory charac ter of his statements excited suspicion and he was according arrested. The next person arrested was Rice he testified that be lived in Vintland, that he came to Neenah on the 19th with "Jack," that he and Jack had been at work lor his brother in ine land.

In the evening while they were at Neenab, Willard joined them; alter dark Willard and "Jack" started in the direction of the slough bridge, he remained in town, after Jack returned he joined him, and they went together to Mansurs, where they re niaincd all night. Jack told him on the way that he had assisted in robbing the stige Jack was arrested at Oshkosh, being called upon to testify in the case ot Willard, he contessed himself guilty, and also implicated the defendant and Charles Jones, and Thomas Sherry of Neenah. Willard was Leld to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars. which was procured. Childs and Jones, be ing arraigned, plead guilty to the charge, and were committed to jail in detauit oi ban which they were unable to procure.

Nothing appearing against Rice and Sher ry, they were discharged. After Jones plead guilty, his father stated that the conduct of his son was unaccountable, vvnynewisn-ed to bring this disgrace upon himself and his family he did know. He knew Charles was innocent, aud so did Charles know it still Charles insisted thut he was guilty, and was accordingly committed. The prisoners are all bovs. under 21 years of age.

Two of thein belong to respectable families, and old settlers of Neenah. As young as they are we never witnessed in old and hardened criminals, more recklessness and utter disre gard for truth, honor and every thing that goes to make a decent man, than these young culprits manifested. The Conservator deplores the profanity of the youth of that village. The editor heard them swearing like little pirates the other day while they were engaged in skating. Green By "Thar and Tharanonts." The Masons have been having a festival at Green Bay.

J. LT. Howe, delivered the address. Charley Robinson has considerable to say on the subject of New Year', in the Ad vertiser. He announces the following discovery Kriss Kringlo and Santa Claus never come after the tax collector has begun to make your acquaintance did you ever notice that? i a now fcr in nnt.ural history, but none the less true.

The Advocate Carrier was to have a New Tear's Address, and the readers of that paper were enjoined to try the following experiment If you want to see him show his teeth from ear to ear, just give him a quarter. It is a chemical experiment, showing the action of silver upon ivory, which we have never seen alluded to, and will well repay the trouble. The Milwaukee Sentinel having put down the barque White Cloud as a Milwaukee Advocate says Mr. Sentinel, just drap that vessel, if you please. We lnlf 'ra there to try you." We wanted to test Milwaukee honesty, and are satisfied with one trial.

And don't let we ask with uplifted hands don't let any of your assessors or tax collectors get their long fingers on her. Don't let the Common Council learn that she is in the river nor the Dannan Monument committee nor the La Crosse Railroad folks. Don't run any 6treets or alleys through her. Don't grade or fill her. let her slip along until spring, and will go over and bring her away.

The Advocate gives Gen. Cass a sharp raking down for his recent letter to Gov. Walker, and is after the President with sharp sticifS. It says So far, all good Democrats have avoided reflecting upon the honesty of President Buchanan, however much they may differ with him. Here in the Northwest, Gov.

Walker and Senator Douglas have crowds of friends, and a personal warfare on those men will not be brooked here, especially as they are believed to be right in the stand they have taken. So much for personal attitudes. Condensed from the Horicon Argus -IIoeicon Items. The Odd Fellows hold a State Festival at Horicon on the 29th inst. Two tons of pickerel were sent from Horicon to Chicago last week.

They sold at the latter place for 4 cents per pound. Prof. Iloyt has been lecturing there on Agriculture, and S. M. llewlet on Temperance.

The Argus relates the following about a dog that would'nt stay dead Some time ago friend Baker, with the help of twojhysicians and an ounce of chloroform, put an end to his dog. Poor Tray was lain out cold and limpsey, in a fine condition for the sausage maker. To make it doubly sure, Baker dragged the dog otf, swung him by the heels to get a fair fling, and sent the dead dog flying down a bank some twenty-five feet on the rocks below, killing him again. With a slight twiDge of conscience, he wended his way home, and the first thing he saw on opening the door was the twice killed dog, who winked profanely, wagged his tail, and said as plain a dog could say "no you don't Baker swears that if two doctors, an ounce of chloroform and twenty-five feet fall won't kill the pup the "darned thing may live." The same paper relates the following incident of the enterprise of a neighboring brother editor When at Fox Lake some weeks since wo visited the Journal office and saw a pile of his last weeks paper directed, lying on the table. asked Golliday why he did not send them on Says he, "oh, I have not been down by the post office lor a week or so, but when I do go down, I shall tako them of course."

The inauguration of the new State officers took place at the Executive Rooms in the cfipitol, at 10 o'clock this forenoon. Only the Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instruction, were present, of the State officers elect. lite a number of the citizens of Madison wero present, though not as many as would otherwise have been, had there not been a misunderstanding aa to the time when the inauguration would take place. Tiie oath of office was then administered to Messrs. Raxdall, Jones, Hastings, and Dkapkk, and subsequently to Mr.

Watson Gov. Randall's Private Secretary, by Hon. Ousamus Cole, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court. After the ceremony, the usual congratulations of shaking of hands occurred between the new State officers and their friends and acquaintances. The crowd soon dissipated, and the new Governor and his Secretary quietly set at work about the business of the office.

The other officers elect, will probably arrive this afternoon. P. S. Mr. SviriKES, the Bank Comptroller elect, arrived from the west by the noon train.

Although the members of the new administration are divided in sentiment politically, wo believe they are all on good terms, personally, and we now see no reason why they may not act together harmoniously in tho performance of their "official duties. County Judge.

Gov. Bashford has appointed Major Thomas Hood of this city, as County Judge to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. S. II. Roys, who was elected last spring for the term which commences on January 1st of the present year.

Msj. Hooo will make a popular and efficient officer. We understand tin Judge Bcsii, who was elected last spring for the short term, which expired Dec. 31t, claims that the appointment of Mnj. Hood is invalid, and that he is entitled to continue in the office until there is an election by the people, next spring.

Probably the matter will be tested by a qvo warranto proceeding in the Supreme Court. Old Buck Described by a Political Admirer.

The mistake he made was in not driving you from Punta Arenas when you landed there in denance ot Ins guns. In occupying the Punta Arenas, and as suming it to be the head-quarters ot the ar my of Nicaragua, and you its Commander in-Uniei, you and your associates, oeing iaw less adventurers, deceive no one by their ab surdity.

Lieutenant Cilley of the Saratoga informs me that he was in uniform, and you say he was in plain clothes when you threatened to shoot him. While you use such threats it may be of some importance tor you to Know that if any person belonging to my com mand shall receive injury from your lawless violence, the penalty to you shall be a trio ute to humanity. Now sir, you find your fellows are hero in violation of the laws of the United States, and greatly to its dishonor, making war upon a people with whom we are at peace and for the sake of humanity, pnblio and private justice, as well as what is due to the honor and integrity of the government of the United States, I command jou, and the people associated with you to surrender your vessels as I may provide for that purpose. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, U. PAULDING, Flag Officer, Commanding U.

S. Home Squadron. To Gen. William Walker, Punta Arenas. Singular Death from.the Bite of a Cat.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press gives an account of the death of a Mr. John Abel, at Jeanesville, Luzerne from the bite of a cat. The circumstances are very singular. About ten weeks since, he was walking from the dwelling-house to the store, when he met the cat in the path, lie put out his hand to play with her, when sbe instantly flew at him and bit him. lie complained a little at the time, but it passed away and no more was thought of it.

He had at times, howe er, a great repugnance to water, and the mere sight of it caused a shuddering sensation. On Christmas day he dined at the hotel of Mr. David Martz, at Jeanesville, and appeared in usual health. Ou the morning of the 26th he complained of being sick, and at last took to his bed. He BuftVsred intense agony, trying to bite the hand which the cat had bitten ten weeks previous, and exclaiming kthat the sight of water made him mad a raving maniac.

His friends had to hold him to prevent his tearing his breast. Medical fkill proved of no avail, and at 8 o'clock on the 27th, Sunday morning, he breathed hia last. Who is Commodore Paulding? Hiram Paulding comes honestly by his skill in arresting unlawful expeditions. His father was the celebrated John Paulding, the Peek-skill farmer, who was one of the three captors of Major Andre. Hiram was born in Westchester county and early in life entered the navy, where he has gradually worked his way up through the grades of Midshipman, Lieutenant, Commander and Captain.

He has ever been one of the most efficient and valued officers in the service, and government a short time since showed its appreciation of the fact, by appointing him to the command of the Home Squadron, which he now holds. We observe the Atlas intimates that the Commodore "exceeded his instructions" in so promptly capturing Walker. The same complaint was made by Arnold's friends against John Paulding. Nevertheless, history and public opinion justified the one and will justify the other. Albany Eve.

Jour-nal. Robert J. Walker, the late Governor of Kansas, was born in 1801, and is therefore fifty-six years old. His native place was Northumberland, Pennsylvania. His father had served in the Revolutionary war, and had held several high offices in that State.

Robert J. Walker graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1819, and was admitted to the bar at Pittsburg in 1821, He was a prominent actor in the campaign of 1824, in favor of Gen. Jackson as President. He moved to Mississippi in 1826, where he still continued a supporter of Gen. Jackson.

He was elected Senator from that state in 1836. In 1845 he was appointed by President Polk Secretary of the Treasury. Since that time he ha been a manager of the great Racine Kailroad scheme and numerous land and railroad speculations. Says an exchange: "In person Mr. Walker Is a small, little man, with large self-esteem, sharp eye and nervous temperament.

He is a ready writer, and with his uncommon energy and elasticity of mma auu oouy, is caicuiatea to pass in the world for all he is worth." Boston Ledger. J3FThe proprietors of the St. Louis Museum distributed 2000 loaves of fead to the poor of that city on the 31st nlt.v to discharge the important uuues iuo Chief Executive officer of the State. There, i he was distinguished for his constant attendance to the pending business, and won the character of a discreet legislator and man of good sound practical sense. He was always at his post, never made long speeches but tidked to the point, and as a sound lawyer and practical legislator, was a leading man among the Whigs, and subsequently among the Republicans of that body.

The only candidate on the Republican ticket that was elected, securing his office at the end of a protracted law suit which call ed for the exercise of more firmness and nerve than most men possess, with a legisla ture politically opposed to him, and an un usually bitter and rancorous leeling engen dered between the contending parties during the previous campaigu aud the contest in the Supreme Court, the circumstances that attended his entrance upon the discharge of the duties of the office were anything but pleasant or favorable. With but a limited amount of power in reality, the popular idea attaches the responsibility for nearly the entire management of the aifairs of the State to the Governor. Gov. Bashford had to contend against these disadvantages, and to take the helm, when the State had been brought to the verge of baukruptcy, by the extravagance and reckless mismanagement of the preceding administration. As Governor, be has made a popular of ficer, and has sustained the reputation for practical sense and judgment -which he gained in the Senate.

Though bitteily assailed by partisans, he has escaped as easily as could be expected, from the exasperated personal malignity of the vile faction, to the overthrow of which ho was largely in strumental. The only act of his administra tion which has been denounced wiih any persistence by his enemies, was his signing the bill disposing of the Land Grant. For this he has been charged with corruption Those who have made the charges have been repeatedly pressed to furnish proof of their allegations, and have as often declined to produce it, tacitly acknowledging their charges to be the result of partisan malice, and destitute of any foundation in fact. His messages and other official papers have been able in character, and clear and dignified in statement and, it was very generally acknowledged that it would have been far better for the State had the last Legislature adhered more closely to the recommendations of his annual message. By the people of Madison, Gov.

Basii-roirn will be long and kindly remembered. His pleasant smile, and quiet unobtrusive deportment will be missed by those who have been in the habit of meeting him almost laily for the past two years. He has always, in every Jegi: Tr Uwn if to our people, and none of his predecessors, if we except Gov. Fab-well, have enjoyed so much personal popularity with all classes, about the capital. We understand that he will at once resume the practice of his profession at Oshkosh.

Washington Talk. The correspondent of the N. Y. Courier ami Enquirer thus agreeably mingles fact and speculation An agreeable social and political banquet was given by Francis P. Blair, at his residence of Silver Spring, on Friday last, to Hon.

N. P. Banks, Preston King, Judge Trumbull, Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, F. B. Blair, and many other prominent members of the Republican party in Congress.

Important political measure are often conceived and arranged at these festive meetings. It ws a Silver Springs, in the winter and spring of 1S56, that the nomination of Col. Fremont was settled. Parties are forming their plans already for 1800, which is but two years distant. The preliminaiy movements of the Republicans are of most public interest, because they are the party which will succeed in 18G0.

Col. Benton tays that the chasm in the Democratic, party cannot possibly be closed or bridged, and the Republicans can only defeut themselves by gross mistakes. The Republican candidate for 1SG0 will be taken from the circle of these names: Mr. Seward, Col. Fremont, Gov.

Banks, Gov. Chase, Gov. Bisst 11. (senator Douglas or Gov. Walker will pro bably be the candidate of the Barnburners or Free Soil Democracy, and President Buchanan will necessarily be renominated by the Administration party.

This latter result will be brought about by the smothered ri valry or Messrs. Wise and Hunter, and the struggles for ascendancy between Jefferson Davis and Robert loombs. WnAT does it Mean We find the following in the Philadelphia Press Tho Janesville (Wisconsin) Independent announces the arrival in the placj of Mr. Tracy and his party of young women, and their disposal. A charge of ten dollars was made tor each person, the money to be paid by the employer and to be dedncied from the future earnings of the young women.

The Free Church was thrown open; the young women occupying the seats in rows, some of them crying. Customers then walked along tho range with perfect coolness, examining their condition one by one, and, as, they found one tui table, they planked the cash and carried off the prize. No paper entitled the Independent, is pub lished at Janesville. Will our friends there explain whether there is any foundation for the above story Toronto, Jan. 1.

The greater portion of the elections are over. Mr. Morrison, candidate for Receiver uenerai, was yesterday defeated. This makes the third Cabinet Minister defeated in Lpper Canada. The opposition is gaining ground.
