again the Standard is at fault. We said,
and saj now, that we should hire voted
for the admission of Kansas under the Ee
eomptoa Constitation as sabmitted bj the
President, for the reason that while there had
no doubt been a rut deal of foul play bj
both sides in Kansas, the legal forms and re
quisitions had been complied with bj the
Leoompton Convention, and we hd no right
to go behind them ; and alio, for the farther
reaeon that it would quell agitation bj taking
the Kansas question out of Congress, and
lea nsg It to the people of the State to settle
matters for themselves." Is the Senate Bill,
as amended by Mr. Qren, the Bill submitted
by the . Predsot 1 Since our arti;leof the
10th of February last, Calhoun, induced as
it is said, by Southern men, returned a Free
soil Legislature for Kansas, and apoa a know
ledge of this fast. Green's amendment was
proposed and adopted. Will the Standard
-veotare to allege that this was a meajore to
carry out the pledgee made the Sooth ! Will
it venture to deny that if the' Senate's Bill
as amended by Oreea, beooms a law, the
Freesofl Legislature of Kansas may at once
take steps to eall a Convention, and strike
slavery out of. the Constitation f If it denies
either of these propositions, it will place it
self in conflict with several of its Democratic
contemporaries in the South. Things have
al'ered entirely since the 10th of February.
Thi Leeomptoo Constitution, as sabmitted
by the President, is not before Congress, and
if it is inconsistent in us to oppose a bill ut
terly different from the one we would have
voted for then we say again, let the most be
made of such inconsistency.
THE L03G AGO XV 3f EARLY OVR,
Before this paper goes to press again, It
will be determined who is to bear the banner
of the great nnterriSed and nnterrifiable De
mocracy of North Carolina in the coming
gubernatorial eootes. As the time for bold
tog the Convention dew nearer and nearer,'
the excitement between thwjectire friends
of noldraand Uis haWrtjen higher and
higher' The lawyers and upper erust generS
ally, are for Ellis, while the unwashed mul
titude are for Iloldeo. Although not enti
tled to a seat in a Democratic pew, we have
all along bea ' a strong Holden man. We
t jink he is entitled to the nomination, and
are of opinion that it would be a burning
shame, if one who has spent his life in mak
ing great big men out of the very smallest
sort of materials, should be refused the rea
sonable reward whioh he so urgently seeks.
This, we admit, may be a selfish view of the
case on our part, as it is pretty generally
knovnthatif Holden is made Governor we
are to be hie Private Secretary.- Sril', how
evrr, we cannot help expressing if, nor ean we
help participating in the stirring excitement
which prevails among the Uolden men. We
hate Keen much stirred, and have agonised
no little for Holden, but ean now do do more
for him than give him as much look as aiw
tig crcae-legged for him will bestow.

SPECIAL MEKTINU OiTHR BOARD OF
- : COMM1SSIOXEKS. , - '
At a (Mal m-eting of iho BMird of Oornmi
ioner, Jield at the City Ila'l on Fri.lay evening,
the th in-4nt, there were prent the; Mayor;
iCapL llarrin) and Mers. II u tolling, ' Srrell,
Turner, .Marriott, Tucker, Smith, Clayton, and
Root. ; -t , " . '
TheMayor stated to the B nl that in compli
ance with the request of that body, at its la.-t meet
ing, he had questioned Mexrs. Smith and Beavers
in regard to their neglecting to arfoAt the rison
ers who rently fMcapod from jail io this city, and
that Mr. Smith was in the room and desired to
to make a statement to the Board, exculpatory of
himself and Mr. Beavers.
Mr. Smith was authorized to make his explana
tion, when he made a statement substantially as
follow: lie said that on the night In 'question,
he and Bvers were together on the outskirts of
the citr, when thev saw throe white men, and re
cognizing Bob Sadler a one of them, Beavers
spoke to him, saying, "Hello, Bob, are you out?
thinking that he had bn released from jail.
Sadler answered nim saying, "O ves, 1 am out.
Smith did not know the other two who were with
Sadler, but thinking one was Bill Dancey, he called
him bv that name, to which he answered. . They
all walked along together for some distance when
they separated. The night was dark and rainy,
and It was difficult to tell a white man from a
negro. Soon after they separated. Smith and
Beavers came up with a man named Williams, an
uncle of Sadler's, and mentioned to mm tnat aad
ler was out of Jail be supposed. Williams said
that be was not out. Upon hnaring this, they
supposed they w-ra mistaken in having seen Sad
ler, thinking they bad mistaken some other man
for him. Nor did tbey find oat that it was really
Sadler they bad seen unUI next morning, when
they were Informed by Sadler's brother that Sad
ler and several other prisoners had escaped in fact,
whereunon, they inunediately made tbe tact known
to the sheriff and jailor.
Mr. Marriott What time of night was it when
rou saw the man Williams?
Mr. Smith said that it was about ten o'clock,
not more than an hour after he had seen tbe man
be supposed to be Sadler.
Mr. Marriott asked him if it was not strange
that he did not hare some suspicion that Sadler
had broke jail, When he learned that his uncle did
not know of his being out ? ;
Mr. Smith replied that when he was informed
by Williams that Sadler was no out of jail, be
thought that be had made a mistake in supposing
that the man be sat was Sadler; he was under tbe
impression that the men he saw were trying to
play some prank on him and Bearers, not dream
ing that anybody had escaped from jail.
After some other remarks by members of tbe
Board, Mr. Smith was dismissed, the Board being
apparently satisfied with bis explanation.
Mr. Root stated that there was universal com
plaint in regard to the repeal of the city tax on
merchants' licenses. He said that the object of
laying a tax in tbe first instance was for the pur
pose of including those merchants doing business
in tha city who resided outside of the corporation
limits, and owned no real estate in tbe city, they,
under tbe old law, having all the advantages of
trading in tbe citv without paying "the same
equivalent therefor that other merchants were
required to pay.
Mr. Smith remarked that he voted for the re
peal of the tax on merchants licenses, because he
thought at the time it was unjust.
Mr. Turner observed that the merchants al
ready paid a very large State tax.
Mr. Marriott. "We have nothing to do with
that.
Mr. Root moved to re-consider the vote repeal
ing the taxn merchants licences.
Mr. Turner was opposed to a reconsideration.
Qe thought it foolish and childLoh. This meeting.
he thought, was called to lay a .tax, and not to
consider extraneous matters.
Col. Tucker also opposed the repeal.
The Mayor then put the question : Shall we
re-considef the vote repealing the tax on mer
chants licences, when it was decided in the affir
mative.
It was then decided that the Mayor shall give
notice through the newspapers to such merchants
as had been exempted by the repeal of the law,
that they may go to his office and give in their
taxes before tbe next meeting.
A brief discussion ensued in regard to the
pumps.
Tbe Mayor stated that Miss Betsey Langley
had called on him and desired to be released from
mairing the sidewalk in front of her lot, saying
that she was not able to pay for the work.
Mr. Christopher, Clerk of the Board, stated
that Miss Langley informed him that if the Board
would have tbe work done she would try and pay
for it during the summer.
Mr. Oavton did not think it right to release
anvbodr.
Mr. Turner said that MLw Langley was 83
years old.
It was alo slated that jai it. was poor, not
having any other property than her bouse and
lot. and it 'would be unreasonable to force her to
sell that to repair a sidewalk.
Mr. Juoot moved last she be released, and that
Mr. Christophers be authorised to have the work
done at the city expense. Tbe motion was adopted.
A petition from Jdr. ifelvln, and others, desir
ing to have street continued to a certain
point, was discussed.
Col. Tucker stated that the street, n openea as
desired, would run through one of the public
squares.
Ua motion, .Messrs. Koot, tucker and .Marriott
were appointed a committee to inquired into all
the facts end report at next meeting.
Tbe Mavor slated that he had received a letter
from Mr. Rayner, complaining against paying a
tax on bis carriage in this citv when the same
was taxed in Hertford ; and also complaining of
being taxed with one dog he did not possess.
On motion, the tax was remitted.
After tbe discussion of some other matters of
little importance, the Boaid adjourned.

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE TROM JAIL.
j From the TJtlica Herald, April 8-
A Brave Woman.--About 2 o'clock last Sun
day morning, a messenger came to Jailor Baker,
in tbe jail at Watertown, with tbe intelligence
that a prisoner named Spencer Wilson was sick, anti
wisoed Mr. Baker to bring him some medicine.
Mr. B. did not hesitate to attend the prisoner, and
brought him a drink calculated to alleviate bis
pain. While Mr. Baker was holding the cup for
tbe consummate villain to drink (for Wilson was
feigning his illness) three other prisoners, named.
Eddy, Ward and Missic, stole slyly into the cell
in their stocking feet (Mr. B.'s back being toward
them) and seized him, bore him to the ground,
beat bim terribly about the head, and abused him
shamefully. One of the wretches stepped on the
throat of the prostrate jailor, while the three
others proceed to gag and bind him not, how
ever, until be bad made sufficient noise to awaken
his wife, who brave woman I seized a revolver
and stationed herself at . tbe outer door leading
into the hall, where she calmly awaited develop
ments. Meantime the villians bad picked Mr. Baker's
pocket of his wallet, and tlie prison keys, and lock
ing him into the cell, coolly proceeded to prepare
for departure, considering themselves now "all
hunk," as the phrase is. Tbeykicked up theirsatchels
which were carefully packed, Hung their coate on
their arms and proceeded to the outer door, for the
purpose of taking leave. What was theirconsterna
tion on looking through the bole in the door, and
beholding levelled directly at them an ugly con
cern with six holes in the end of it and a little
white finger calmly resting on the trigger. " Ad
vance one step into this hall," said the delicate,
out firm voice " and you die." The villains quail
ed. - " Come on." "Come on," said Mrs. Baker,
"but the first man who steps from that door I
will shoot" This was more than the fellows bad
bargained for. But one of them was cool and im
pudent " Pshaw P said he "vou don't know
how to shoot it." " Tes I do," said Mrs. Baker,
M I have been practicing' this long timo ; if you
don't believe it you can make the trial." The fel
lows were completely baffled. They retired for
consultation.
With a refinement of deviltry worthy the ar?h
fiend, they returned with the intelligence that
Mrs Baker might take- her choice either to see
ber husband's brains knocked out, or to retire and
let thm pass out Here indeed was a fearful trial.
What did the brave woman do? She quailed pot
for an instant her eye relaxed not its vigilance
her finger trembled not on the trigger there she
htood pointing the deadly weapon through the
iron bars of the ball before the door, and repeat
ing her warning to tbe Ttllians not to come fur
ward a step, as they valued life? We challenge
history to produce an example of more glorious
heroism on the part of a woman I
A messenger had in the mean time gone after
help, and it soon came in the shape of some of the
most resolute and hardy men fa Watertown, who
speedily relieved the little woman from her guard,
drove the prisoners back into their cUs, and set
matters "to rights."
Mrs. Baker is a small, sum woman, with-very
expressive features, in which courage and firmness
are displayed in the keen, clear eye, ana tnereso
lute lines about the mouth. We asked her if she
would really have shot the men, had they disre-
gardel her warning. She said " Most certainly I
would! . HoulUnt you.'
ATTACK ON THE SECRETARY OF THE
interior: .
The Washington Star gives the following ac
count of an attack on Secretary Thompson, which
occurred on Ihursday last:
This forenoon, at about 10 o cloct, Mr. reter
Be-aneon, Jr., of Louisiana, late clerk in the Pen
sion office, called on the Secretary of the Interior
in tbe Department, and in answer to his inquires,
was informed by that functonary, as tbe reason
why he was dropped last year.: that he was not
reported among the most efficient clerks, when,
under the law, it became necessary to reduce the
clerical foroe of the Pension bureau. Besancon
then told the Secretary that whoever reported
him to be inefficient, was a damned liar; and the
Secretary told him he could have no further con
versation with him on the subject, as it was not
proper that he should listen to such abuse of tbe
officers of his Department Turning to lea ve him,
Besancon followed bim, (the Secretary,; exclaim
ing, "1 demand to know who was your miorniant
when Secretary Thompson again declined to con
verse with him upon the subject Besancon then
instantly struck him a blow behind the ear, as he,
(Secretary Thompson) was walking away.
The Secretary, turning instantly, discovered
Besancon in the act of drawing a revolver, and
seizing him so as to pinion his arms to bis side,
threw him to the floor with such force as to dis
locate his (Besancon's) shoulder, and, we believe,"
broak his arm also; the Secretary falling heavily
on him, and preventing him from cocking his
revolver by seizing his hand and holding it.
The bysUnders had time t- interfere and wrench
the weapon from Befancon's hand ; whereupon
Secretary Teompson released him, and he was
taken up and placed in an adjoining room for safe
keeping, by tnoee who had rushed to the scene of
the occurrence.
Secretary Thompson has made out an order for
his admission to tho Washington Infirmary for
surgical treatment
i It seems to us that the attempt on his life must
have been the result of the derangement of Besan
con, whose mind has for some time past been
somewhat unsettled, through his domestic diffi
culties. " -' j

ciency bill, which was rejected this morning. He
earpestly urged its passage, showing the condition

tion palling on the Secretary of War to inform
the House bow many ai my officers are absent from
their duties and at the seat of goverment, and
how 'many hold an office by election cr otherwise.
I M. Branch spoke with reference to the re-con-sideration
of the vote by which the deficiency
bill Was rejected. . He li sitatod not to . declare
that the montrous expenditures of the army bad
almost reached a point to induce the entire coun
try to rise and demand a reform, and. he pointed
out the way by which this could be effected. He
believed, as heretofore declared by the House in
the fbrm of a resolution, that Utah was in a state
of rebellion, and it is now too late, and would be
unjust to undertake to control tbe discretion of
the President as to the disposal of troops. .
MrL J. Glaocy Jones, in reply, said that the
Quartermaster General did not send estimates on
his own responsibility, but; they 'were received
with the endorsement of the Secretary of - War,
MrL Branch was satisfied with the explanation.
and said he was glad to find that no outrage on
propriety bad been perpetrated by any Bureau
office. ... - ' -- " ''''
