Twelve States voted yesterday,

Massachusetts, Minnesota Mississip-'
pi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New1
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and:
Wisconsin: Of these Massachnsetts
Minnesota", Mississippi, New. Jersey,
Virginia and Wisconsin elect Gov
ernors. In Massachusetts and Wis-;
consin there are four candidates in
each for Governor. The chief inter
est centres in liew York and Penn
sylvania, because of their influence
upon a Presidential election. New
York will elect a Secretary of State, a
Comptrollers Treasurer, an Attorney
General, and aState Engineer, as well
is a new Legislature, and upon this
body will devolve the election of a
United States Senator one year hence, j
Pennsylvania will electa Jodsre of the I
Supreme Court, a State Treasurer and
State Auditor. The Democrats feel
confident of carrying New York, and
a strong hope of carrying Pen nsylva-.

Kansas elects a Judge of the Sa
preme Court and a lieutenant Gov j
ernor, and Nebraska elects -a Justice
of the Supreme Court and two Re
gents of the State University. Both
States are strongly Republican. !
Earl Beaconsfield, the British Pre
mier, is. credited with a purpose to
stir up the? British lion on the subject
of English interference in Eastern
affairs. ; He is to make a speech soon,
when he will put his foot down in the
true British style as Xo opening the
arueneiies to Russian ; war ships.
The last time he put broth in the war
caldron it was burnt, and his cook;
mg now'will scarcely result in better
luck; England does t not mean to
have a war unless it is forced upon
her, and U is quite too soon to argue
that Russia wili be able to seriously
endangerjer interests. No informed
Englishman now apprehends any
"knger from an invasion of India,
and there is scarcely any danger
threatening at other points. So the
Vernier will hardly be able to stir np
the cautious Englishman to bloody
war on the Question ol I the Darde

Another Case of Drowning, f
A young man by the name of Thaddeus
Moore, aged about 25 years, a resident of
PointCaswell, Pender county, was drowned
at Mr. O. G. Parsley'a wharf, between
Dock and Orange streets, yesterday morn
ing, under the following circumstances:
He came down the river on a fiat a day or
two since, and yesterday morning, between
3 and 4 o'clock, he went onboard of the
steamer North East, which had arrived du
ring the night and landed at the. wharf
mentioned, accompanied by a friend by
the name of PridgenJ Soon afterwards
persons on the boat heard a splashing in the
river between the boat and the wharf, a
fiat loaded with wood and shingles being
between the wharf and one . end of the
boat, leaving an. open space. It is pre
sumed that he forgot the situation, of the
boat and flat and was under the impression
at the moment that he was stepping from
the boat to the wharf, instead of which be
stepped into the river. Two or three par
ties rushed to the rescue, including his
friend Pridgen, who, in the excitement of
the moment, made the same mistake that
Moore did, rushing to the side of the boat
and plunging into the river. He was
rescued, however," by the colored fireman
of tbe boat, a man named Kelly, but only
a glimpse of his more unfortunate com pan
ion was seen ere he disappeared under the
flat, whence he was carried by the treache
rous current, adding one more to the large
number who have lost their lives by falling
into the Cape Fear. ,
Deceased, whose body had not been re
covered at last accounts, was formerly mate
on the steamer North East, and leaves a wife
and one child to mourn the untimely death
of a husband and father.
Fire at Shallotte.
!T A correspondent at Shallotte, Brunswick
county, informs us of a rather remarkable
incident that happened at that place on the
night of the 3rd inst, which resulted in
some loss to Mr. Thomas Lewis. 'He says
that a certain party who makes spirit bar
rels for Mr. Lewis, after drinking rather
too much of another certain party's Schie
dam Schnapps, turned in - for a nap and
dreamed that he was coopering, and that
the barrel he was at work on needed steam
ing, whereupon he gathered together his
clothes and bedding and set fire to them.
Finally, whennearly suffocated, he aroused
from his heavy, slumber, seized his burning
coat and left the bouse, which was entirely
destroyed. Had the wind been blowing
Mr. Lewis' loss might have been serious, as
the building which was burned was about
central between the store and still and a
large lot of oak staves, but -the calmness of
the night saved him from further damage,
his loss being only about $40.

TRIBUTE OF UESPCCT.
At a meeting of the Young Catholic Friends' Bo-i
ciety, held on the 4th inst, the following resolu
tions offered by CoL B. R. Moore, Messrs. F. Vf.
Kerchner and W. P. Price, the committee appoint-;
ed at a previous meeting to draft them, were unani
mously adopted: . . J- .
It continuallT becomes the nhriRtiftn'n. flntu t
bow in humble submission to the Divine will; and
as friend after friend is laid awav in the silent
tomb, the heart, while it is afflicted with the pang
or parang, snoaia oe consoled with the knowledge
that the separation is in obedience to the decree
of a merciful and all-wise Providence.
The Young Catholic Friends' Society, in com
mon with the entire Archdiocese of Baltimore, has
learned with profound sorrow of the death of the
distinguished prelate who has been for the past
five years its spiritual head. In his death we mourn
a departed friend; but while we so mourn, we rev
erently bow to the merciful decree which, relieved
him from the weighty and responsible duties as an
Archbishop of the Church, and placed on his head
the crown which is the reward of thef aithfaL -
tlA.rn.ua luoiSVKLiT BAYLEY was no ordinary
man, nor wen his head and heart: of ordinary
mould. - i
He was a grandson of Richard Bayley, of New;
York, and was bom In that city Anguat 3d, 1814. '
He was a graduate of Washington (now Trinity):
College, Hartford, and was for sometime tutor;
there. He studied theology with Dr. Samuel Far
mer JarriB, of Middletewn, Conn., was ordained a
minister of the Protestant Episcopal 'Church, and
preached at Harlem, N. Y., and afterward at
Hagerstawn, Md. Ha then Joined the ' Catholic;
Church, prepared himself for the priesthood, at St '
Sulplce in Paris, and was ordained In New York,
March 8d, 1848, by Bishop Hughes,! He was ap
pointed Professor of belles-lettres at 8t John's
College, Fordham, N. Y., of which he was Presi
dent la l&45-'6: and from 1848 to 1853. was Secre
tary to Archbishop Hughes. On October 30th,
1S53, he was consecrated first Bishop of Newark, N.
J. , which under his admlnlBtratlen became one of.
the most prosperous dioceses In the United States.
He founded Seton Hall College and numerous
schools, academies, convents, and churches. On
July 80th, 1873, he was appointed Archbishop of
Baltimore. He has published a "Sketch of the His
tory of the Catholic Church in the Island of New
York;" "Memoirs of Simon Gabriel Brute, first
Bishop of Yincenhes." and "Pastorals for the Peo
ple;". He was the nephew of Mother Seton. (nee
Bayley) foundress of the order of Sisters of Charity:
In America, atSmmettshurg, where the lamented
Archbishop's mortal remains, at his own request,
found their last resting place, at the side of his be
loved and venerated aunt Mother Seton.
Tne Young Catholic Friends' Society do therefore
resolve: j '
That in the death of Archbishop Bayley the
Archdiocese of Baltimore, together with all its
dependencies, has sustained a heavy infliction at
the hand of Providence, and that we in common
with the rest of the faithful under the jurisdiction'
of the Archdiocese, deeplunourn his loss.
. That, as a tribute of respect to bis memory we
will wear black crape on the badge of the Society:
for the space of thirty days. - . - j . i
Besotoed, That we will attend In a body tbe
Solemn Requiem High Mass on the 7th instant be-,
Resolved. That these resolutions be placed on the
records of the Society and be sent to the Catholic
Mirror of i Baltimore, and the daily papers ; of this
city ior puoucauon. vj - ;
