(El)c Sfcffcrsonittu. THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1860. FOR GOVERNOR Hon. Andrew G-. Curtin, OF CENTER COUNTY.

Cfijy The Democratic National Conven finn met at Charleston. South Carolina, on tho 23d of April, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Presidon ey and the Vico Presidency. Desperate efforts were mado from the btart by the Douglass men to secure his nomination on a Popular Sovereignty platform, and equal efforts were made by the Admiuis-tration party, in conjunction with the South, to compel him to accept a nomination on a Slave Code platform, or suffer defeat before the Convention. Thus things continued until tho 30th of April, whn tho Douglasa party tri-umphed over the South and Administration. At this tho South beoame very indignant, and tho delegations from eigld Southern States immediately withdrew, and several other delegations withdrew to consult with each other in refercnoe to what they should do.

Another undoubted proof of tho Irrepressible Those who withdrew declared that they would nominate an other set of candidates, which wo presume they have done ere thia. So we have every prospect of having two sets of Democratic candidates for the Presidency and Yico Presidency in the field, in tho impending Presidential campaign. Thus has fallen, an unwilling sacrifice, the great Democratic party1' to the powerful slave god, whom they have worshipped so devoutly for the last sis years. This is the natural ro-eult of attempting to pervert the principles and policy of thia Government, for base political purposes. Bu they fall unmourned, for the Republican party is healty, 6trong and vigorous and stands ready to restore the principles and policy of this Republic to the original designs of its founders.

This suicide, however, wa entirely unnecessary, as the Republican party will on next November, cause those weary Democrats, united or divided, to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Important to Millers. The Supreme Courfc of this State decided in 1850. case of Berks county vs Bertolct, 1 Harris, 522, that a miller or manufacturer of flour, who purchase grain aad retails flour at other places than at the mill, is liable to be pay li cense fees as a dealer in merchandize. This was under the 11th section of the Act of April 22, 4o Since that time caillera in this State have been assessed by the mercantile appraisers and compelled to take out licenses at $7 and upward, as classed. But a late decision of the Supreme Court overrules tho decision Above named.

We understand that E. H. Rauoh, editor of the Maach Chunk Gazette and lata Chief Clerk of the House of Rep-rosentativea, is talked of as Opposition candidate for Senator from tho Carbon distriot. Mr. Rauoh won golden opinions for tho skill and fidelity with whioh ho discharged the duties of a Clerk of the House, and has dono yeoman sorvico for Freedom and protection in little Carbon.

The country press has not too many conductors so able, earnent and faithful as Mr. Rauoh; and wo regard the suggestion of his name in connection with the Sena-torship as not less happy than deserving. He would make an excellent run in the northern part of the district, Bnd, is believed to be invincible in Carbon. Sucoese to hi Rarrisburg Telegraph. Another prize fight oamo off at Charleston, S.

last Friday. Tho report to the Tribune by telegraph, says: ''Collector Baker, of Philadelphia, -and Wright had a collision yesterday, resulting from tho action of the latter in the Platform Committee. Mr. Baker charged Wright with betraying his trust, at which blows followed, when mutual friends interfered. Though the Douglas interest is in the minority of that delegation, they i-uooeed in getting a representation in the Committee on Organi zation and Platform by pledges yet un redeemed." Our friend, the Colonel, has a mighty insinuating way with him, and takes high soats in the political synagogue when a-way from homo.

We are sorry to see him emulating Hcenan, although his in ducement is a Colleetorship instead of a champion's belt. Baker it is said "pitched in, and Wright was defendant. Two members of tho Ohio delegation bad a fight at tho Mills House, and threw plates at each other, but did no great mischief. Two Missourians, one an editor of a loco- foeo paper in St. Louis, had a rough and tumble at the Mills House, which is to be settled by a duel on their return from Charleston.

The harmonious jdemocraoy are determined to conquer one another, if they cannot overcome the tarnal Blaok Republicans. Record of the Times. THE HARDEN TRIAL. On Wednesday of last week the State closed its evidence against Jacob S. Harden, after having examined ninety-one witnesses.

In the evidence thus far, there is nothing in mitigation of the conduct of the prisoner. The defendant does not deny that Mrs. Harden was poi soned, but says that she poisoned herself, although there is no evidence to substantiate the declaration. Every part of tbc evidence points conclusively to the guilt of the prieoncr; he, alone had charge of her siok bed; he administered everything, and anything containing the poison must have been supplied by him. Tho case presents a harrowing narrative, perhaps unequalled.

His letters to his wife, which have been published, are abusive in the extreme, betokening his ill-feeling her. Mr. Jehiel G. Shipman opened the case for the defence. He broached the theory that Harden had no motive to kill his wife; but that she, on the contrary, had been so depressed by hor differences with her husband, and the reports which had been circulated concerning her, that she was glad to end her own existence, by taking tue arsemo wnioh she knew was within her reach.

To sustain this theory Rev. George F. Dickinson, Rev. George Castuer, Nancy P. Cypben and Cornelia Andereon were sworn.

The on ly points were, narden's good treatment of his wife; that he was subject to neural gia, for which the attending physicians gave him powders similar in appearanoc to those he waB charged with having pro cured for Mrs. Harden, aud that she was often depressed in spirits in consequence of poor health. The evidence for the defence closed on Friday night. Tho ovidenco is very strong agaiust the prisoner. A Berks County Dwarf.

The Boyer- town Bauer says there is in that village a neat little girl, a daughter of Mr. Hen ry try, only three feet in height, weighing but 40 and is 12 years of ago. She enjoys excellent health, is well proportioned, and resembles a child about 3 or 4 years old. Joseph Daggett, a young man, in West Thompson, Connecticut, rose in his sleep, on Sunday night, crawled through the souttlo to the roof of the house, commenced loosening the bricks from the chimney and throwing them upon the roof. His father, alarmed by the noise, oalled him sharply by name, when the son awoke, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

He escaped serious injury. THE GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN HEENAN and SAYRES. First Knock Down for wins first Jiioott -iiom norrmiy Druiseu, The steamship Vanderbilt arrived at N. York at 8 o'clock on Saturday morn tng last. The creat fiirht took placo on the morn ing of tho 17th of April, at Fernborough, near Aldershott.

The following account we copy from tho Illustrated JSews. To say that this fight oreated tho utmost interest on both sides of the Atlan tic, ia but faintly to describe the profound attention civen to it in all its details. In America, you talked it over, made your bets, discussed it-in your papers, and backed vour man according to your faith. Hero in England wo did more. We quoted the bets and odds at iattur sails and on ohango.

Yes, truly, they we sid re placed in tho front rank, side by with the "Derby," and "Epsom," tho "Great North Western" and the "Mid land Counties." "It is all very well, says the TJiundercrt to affect indifference, but we JiiUglisumen all hope Sayres may win," and so it was with all Englisntnen It was the talk of London some days before it oamo off and many hundreds of thousand pounds were wagered as to the result. Around the sporting houseB the excitement was intense. Harry 13run ton's, Owen Swift's, Nat Langhham's, Round Table, and others were literally heseiered for several davs before the "mill." Those poor unfortunates who were not up to snuff sighed in vain for the coveted Railroad tioket that secured them to the scene of the fibt nobody knew whither Morning came the eventful morning of April 17th and with it four ot tbc clock, and with the latter came the fortunate and unfortunate to the Railroad station. 9 to 4 was freely offered by the friends of Sayers and as freely taken by the A mericans. In faot scarce anything waH offered on Sayers that was not snapped bv the Americans.

Around Waterloo Bridge Station did this mostley crowd assemble, the Englishmen doing most of the blowing. The American roughs said but little. They were playing a quiet crAme. Tho nieht was verv dark, and 3 Cj tho single lantern in front of the R. office suomed to draw a mvsterious light over the crowd, that heightened the se creoy of the affair to such an extent that everything was hushed to a whisper.

The whi-tle sounded softly, the crowd sbowd their magic bits of card, and away we dashed quietly, fearing to owako even the echoes of tho night. All along the road were stationed policemen, mounted, and on foot armed with club and cut lass, aud not until we had passed the rue tropolitan preoints, did theso "Peelers' disappear. Our journey ended near the town of Aldershot. Tho oars emptied their live stock, and away we scampered over hedges, ditches, meadows, and fields A spot was soon selected. Sayers enlor ed the ring first and was almost ioimdi-ately joined by Heenan.

Both were received in the most enthusiastic manner Many now saw the Bcnecia Boy for the first time, and ono could easily see they were surorised to find him so formidable looking. Mr. Morrissey had circulated the report that Sayers would whip him easuv. and. in nie opinion, lieenan would'nt stand ten rounds.

The fallacy of the statement was apparent, Heenan stripped most admirably. His fine mus oular back and arms, broad strong chest, and firmly set legs, were scrutinized by every ono, and by none more thn by Sayers. Still your stubborn Jonny Bull would'nt allow himself to think for one moment that it was possible for his man to lose the battle. Yerily, Time trios all. and ye immense British nation wa3dootc-cd to much sorrow and tribulation.

Everything being in readiness, they tossed for choice of places, which being won by the "Boy," he placed his back to the sun and waited quietly for tho dance to begin. Time was oslled at twenty-two minutes past suven, and the fight commenced: Round 1. The men oamo smiling to the scratch; Sayers feinted several times but seeing this had no effect on the Boy, set to work in earnest, by attempting and succeeding in planting his right on Hee-nan's mouth, thereby drawing first blood. 2. Both ralying.

Heenan got home on Sayers chin and afflicted a slight cat. 3. In this round Hcenan knocked Sayers completely off his legs by a left handed blow. Great cheers for Heenan. 4.

Another knock down of Sayers. who also received a bad cut on the left check. 5. Heenan pushing Sayers, on the month. Sayers down.

6. Betting in favor of Heenan who immediately afterwards received a tremendous blow under the left eyo. Sayers knocked down. 7. Heenan'a eye badly hurt as he came to tho scratch.

Sharp fighting. Sayers knocked down. 8. More sharp fighting. Heenan got struck once more on the left eye which looked terribly swollen.

Sayers caught it badly on tho noso which assumed the shape of a pancake. 9. 10, 11 and 12. These rounds were fought with but little advantage to either man. Sharp sparring but no mischief done.

13 and 14. Tho "Boy" smilling and self possessed. Sayera apparently fast loosing strength. 15 Sayers again knocked down by Heenan's left-hander. Large odds offered against Sayers.

16. Like the previous round. Say-ers down. 17, 18, 19, 20. Littlo mischief done.

Sayers always down. Heenan happy and smilling. 21. Sayers slow and faint. Coming up to Heenan, the latter coolly knooked him down.

It would be useless to go into the further details of this terrible and well contested fight. Heenan soemcd to have it all his own wav. for ho knocked Sayers very much at his ease, knooking him down or lining nim up io iuiu his corner, as though, he were a mere hild. Only inthe 30th and 31st round Sayors got in a few heavy Mows upon Heenan'a moutb, and tnereoy aiaggeruu the latter a little, but it was quite appa rent that he could not hold out much long er. His friends, seeing this, in tho ddd round raised a ory of "Police," but Heenan took no notice of it.

The next round Sayers seemed to be more lively, and got in a couple of heavy blows, but was al-wavs thrown. In the 38th round Sayers looked completely used up, for Hcenan bad got his head under his arm in "chancery" and gave him such a hug as though he meant to break bis neck. Here Say- er's seconds interfered in the mot disgraceful, maimer, by pulling their man from Heenan's embrace, and kicking Bnd -trikinc the latter to their heart's con tent. The next round Sayers seemed to como up oulv to gain time, probably in the hope of intervention by tho Police So they fought three rounds more, when the referee appoaring, suggested that "the men bo taken away, aB it would Do a pi tv to have two such game fellows injur edl" Infamous! and so ended the fight where barefaced dishonesty and contempt iblc prejudico were the referees and urn nires. Heenan trotlod gaily to the cars, aftor ho bad been dragged from tho scene his triumph.

Both mon oame to town unmolested. When our correspondent saw Heenan tho following morning, be looked as well as possible. His damaged right eye was fast assuming its natural lortn the left was almost as good as ever; hi mouth was a little queer, but, thanks to the good traiuing of Jack his frnmfi seemed none tho worse for the hard usage it had received! Macdonald says Heenan shall have tho Belt! If all the sporting men were houorablo as he, there would be no ques tion about it; but the treatment Heenan received during his training, (forced to shift his quarters three times, while bay ers was not molested -once,) and, at the fight, gives us a pretty good idea of their sense of right and juutice lo tlieir sname be it spoken! The fight lasted two hours and twelve miuutes. Horrible Outrage in Chester CQTinty. On Sunday night a series of the most barbarous cruelties were inflicted upon Mrs.

Riday, wife of Charles Riday, brick-maker, residing in Oxford Borough On the Monday night previous, the house had been entered, and chloroform administered to the occupants, who were at the time in bed, Mrs. Riday, wakiDg up, alarmed the burglars, and put them to flight. On Sunday night last, Mr. Riday went to church, aad left his brother at home to take charge of the family; but he started away, and thortly afterward, about half patt nine o'olcck, a person knocked at the door. Mrs.

Riday bid him come in. A man entered, and asked her if she know Lim. She looked at him, and saw that he wore a tomahawk breast-pin, and from this recognized him an one of tho urglars who had been there on Monday night. He said, "You if it had not been for you, I'd have got all away. You have been telling it a-round at the stores about the robbery that I left fifty cents in the drawer I heard all." Mrs.

Riday then ran towards tho door; he caught her, locked the door, thrust the key in her moutb, and finding that it would not gag her, he also thrust the burning candle in, which so-riomly burned the roof of hor moutb, and then exclaimed, You protestant, I won't kill you now, but if you talk as you did the other time I was here, I will" Ho then demanded the candle be had left, saying it was "worth gold to him." The woman oould not speak, but made motions signifying that it was in the cupboard. Ho secured the candle; tied her on a ohair with both hands. behind her; kicked her iu the sido several timos; slapped her on each aide of tho face to straight en her head up, and then taking bis own pocket handkerohief, commenced tying her under tho ohin, when another man without, oried "green 1 green 1" He then took baok his own handkerchief, and palling ono from under her apron, mado use of it in fastening her head to tho chair. Taking up a griddle which was on tho stovo, he spit upon it, to seo if it was hot, and placed it upon her baro breast, burning part of tho flesh to a crisp. Ho then tied her feet togethor on tho baking plate of the stovo.

After sprinkling turpentino over her dress, and placing a candle bo-hind hor, so that her clothing might oatoh fire, and while in tho midst of other acts too horrible and indecent to mention, the man at tho door oried "yes yes as if to signify the approach of some ono, when they both loft, locking tho door after them. Shortly after, the children, who bad been up stairs, oame down and moved their mother from tho stove. An a-larm was given; the door was broken o-pen, and in fow minutes thera was a largo number of peoplo present. Yesterday Mrs. Riday was not expected to live, her limbs, feet, breast and mouth being in many places burned to a These, and other injuries of a far more serious nature, render her rocovcry doubtful.

She describes tho demou-liko perpetrator as a tall, thin man, with heavy whiskers, inclined to gray, and would recognized him if brought before hor. Several have been arrested, but liborated, on her failure to recognize them. Chester County Times. Female Extravagace Husband not responsible. In New Orleans, a fow days since, Mr.

Brown, who has a talary of 2500 per annum, was mod for 8645, tho amount of a bill of dress goods sold to his wife within ten days, in November last. The articles were not necessary under tho most liberal use of that term, and it appeared in evidenoo that tho husband had forbidden tho plaintiff to trust his wife. Tho Court decided that tho plaintiff oould not recover. The Fight. If anv person has heretofore had an impression that prize-fighting in England, where it is a recognized amusement ana patronized by tho upper classes of society, was less brutal, less rumaniy, ana icbs unfair than it is in this oountry, tho accounts received by the Vanderbilt of the late battle between necnan and Sayere will- tend, we should to efface that impression.

A moro glaring instance of thorough brutality, and a more palpa ble determination to give victory io oiib of the combatants, regardless of the true result, never disgraced tho ring in this country or elsewhere. To prove these assertions it is onlv necessary to read the accounts of tho fight, related in Wilkes Spirit of the Times and Belt's Jife zn Jon don. The former, as our readers know, ia an American paper, but published, upon this occasion, in London immediately after the fight, for distribution here upon tho arrivul of the steamer, its editor nav ing cone broad for that purpose. The lat- tcrjis, and for many years has becntbe standard sporting paper ot "jroat Untam, and tho great authority upon all subjects an pertaining to the ring, the turf, or the hundred other amusements, which, in England, aro as much matters of business as of pastime. Heenan went to England a worse than untried man.

He bad fought but one battlo. and in that beon conquered, al though his adversarv was a third-rate man, hia inferior in size and weight, and much Lis senior. Sayer3 on the contra rv. stood the acknowledged champion England, the successor of Figg, Btlchor Ward and others, and, as was generally admitted, the superior of all of them with nfirlmns. the exceDtion of Belcher.

He zr i had been successful in every combat in which ho had been engaged with but ono oxception, and then it was Mm rntiult of accident, and bv no means changed public opinion as to the relativo merit of the men. No wonder then that, from tho time the match was made between Sayers and the American heavy odds were laid in England upon the former. Commencing at five to four and gradually increasing, until beforo the battle instances were known'ofas mucl as two to ono Icing ftaked upon the sue cess of the ohampion. Tho takers of these odds were, generally speaking, the comparatively few Americans in liingland, and those of the Bnti-h pugilists and their patrons who had seen Heenan, and conceived a favorable opinion of bis pow er. skill and courage.

Let ua see if this state of things did not have its effect up on affairs, as they tranwpired, and wheth er the much vaunted fair-play of English pugilism is not a myth, whioh vanishes when it is the interest of tbc majority to make the upshot of a fight different from that whioh the rules of the ring dictate. From either of the accounts to which we have referred, it will be Ecen that when the men met on the 17th, Heenan aoon showed himself the equalof Sayere in skill and what is called, in t'ee slang of the ring, generalship, aud superior in everything else. Every time that he struck the ohampion with his left hand, which appears to be his favorito-weapon, ho knocked him completely off of his feet. Thirteen knock down blows did Heenan administer to him, a thing unprecedented in the whole history of prize fighting from the days of Figg to those of.Sayers. In wrostling the same superiority on Heenan's part was manifest throughout.

Eery time they closed tho rosult was the samo, a heavy fall for Sayers until on the 35th round, in the language of one of tho Homers of these Agamemnons, "Heenan seized Sayera in his arms and threw him clean from him as if he were a frog." But when it was discovered that by no possible ohanoe could Sayers win the fight, those manoevres commenced which must havo been previously arranged, to prevent Heenan being declared the victor, and the belt being taken at ouco from Sayers and from England. A cry of polico was raised, in order to aiarm Heenan, and cause him to run from the ring to avoid arrest. Being forewarned of thi3, it did not havo the desired effect. Next, the policemen (real or ficticious) began to crowd upon the ring, giving the referee a chance to run away, without giving his decisiou, and the rabble to break in the ring and annoy Heenan. Tho ring we are told, was half full of people, and when the American ruffian had the English one in that extremely disadvantageous position, known to tho initiated as Chancery, they rushed to his rescue and took him from that grasp of Hcenan, from whioh otherwise ho never would have been released, exoept as a couquered man.

Wh en every bystander was morally certain that whatever the tcohnioal decision might bo, necnan was really the winner of tho fight, tho American loapod from the ring, aud ran like a deer, while his vanquished adversary, woak from severe punishment, and paralyzed as to tin muscles of his right arm, from stopping Heenan'a blows, was assisted slowly aud painfully to his quarters. There is nothing so bad in this world but some good can bo extraoted from it; and so with tho great international contest. If this brutal and disgusting exhibition served no other good purpuse, it, at leant, did this: it exploded, for once and forever, all the vaunted fairness and disinterestedness of the prize-ring. Tho motto so pat upon tho lips of every apologist for ring-fighting, "ay the best man win," has been shown to bo meanignless, for, in this case, tho best man was not allowed to win the man, upon whom most money was staked, though conquered, was not suffered to lose. Tho brutality of these contests has never boon disputed by tho most ardent admirers of fistic science.

But they havo thrown themselves back upon tho old English fair play "the fiat beforo tho knife" "may the best man win" a twenty-four feet ring and no favor," and all suob platitudes which men use to defend a thing in itself indofensi-bio. Lot us hopo wo shall boar no moro of this stuff. And let us hope, that as, even in England, in a fight for tho Champion's belt, fair play was banished from tho contest, and tho brutal ruffianism of bystanders deoided its termination, vra may never again have to report bo bloody and disgUBting an exhibition as a priztf fight, international or other.
