THE OSWEGO DAILY PRSSS, ia its Issue of the 6th inst., editorlaly commenting upon the ' Bonding Qaeetion,' nukes use of the follow jo.g ••

'•We understand of course that feeling in the town of Mexico ia very muoh inflamed en this bonding question, and that thecitizer^wbo feel t ta t they are on the right side and Lave been, overborne by unfair means, are ind g-nant at its being admitted that there can j os-tibly be two sides in the case and at tb> so-called "stralgbWiners" being allowed to be heard, Oar friend of the Mexico Independent does not allow the "straight Iirers*' to speak through his paper. We cannot BO understand oar duty."

We do i ot suppose the editor of the PRESS intends to misstate either our own posi­tion nor that of our community. We have no doubt that the statement above made upon editorial responsibility, was based upon infor­mation which was supposed to be unquestion­able, and yet which 18 not true in fact. We have thus been made to occupy a position be­fore the public which we feel does us an in­justice.

Oar neighbor the PRESS 'was not in existence when the matter upon which it comments had its origin. It knows little of the history cf the case, and little of the position which we have taken upon the subject. , . We have been carious enough since reading the above, to look over our files to see whether possibly we had ourself become so oblivious ot our own past as that the above could be true of us, and yet we not know it.

We find upon examination that mere letters from ''straight-liners" nave been published by us than from their opponents; if we take all our editorials and communications offered we find they do not exceed either in number or space the communications of the 'straight liners." g i t will be remembered that early in the year 1869 acd before, there was a great deal of dis­cussion upon this subject. For a number of weeks oar columns were literally filled with articles pro and con, to the exclusion of almost every thing else. These articles were plainly increasing in bitterness of feeling upon both sides, and some of them were grossly personal. We felt that the discussion was becoming un­profitable to all concerted. We were unwil­ling to be the means of widening a breach al­ready too large between the rival partie?. We thought a little time would enable all to cool off'ecmewhat, andat least to discuss the matter in a more temperate spirit. And in our issue of Feb. 10th, 1869, after giving place to an elab­orate article, signed "Straight Line*" in which the following words occur : "Please accept my thanks for the use of your columns

| to freely and respectfully discuss this railroad ^question ;" we made use of the following words: j "Desiring to give"Straight Line" and his sym­pathizers a full and fair bearing, we publish another of bis communications, but mast de cline publishing anything further upon the subject at present, as we are satisfied that per­sonal feelings of annimoesity are engendered and intensified."

THE ADAMS BAKE BURGLAAS.

THEY ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAM,.

Sentenced to Ten Years1 Imprisonment.

The prisoners Wilson, Williams and Kingr-land, now on trial for burglary and robbery of Hungerford's Bank, "moved for a new trial" at midnight last night, and attempted to put themselves outside of our jail. Thanks not to the jail itself, which yields readily, but to the vigilance of the Sheriff and his deputies, the trio are still in custody, and doubtless ere this is in print will have recieved their transfer to Auburn.

The facts we learn are as follows: About 11 o'clock last right the Sheriff and

his officers heard Wilson working away at nig lock, evidently with the intent of breaking -oose. With a pair of blacksmith's large pin­chers he bad reached through the "diamond." and butted a bolt to the bar fastening the cell, causing the bar to drop down useless. Then with a bent fork and the end of a file, he was working away at the extra lQck, a padlock, on the same door. His file broke and he mattered some complaint athis bad luck.

During this time, a "paP* or more was dis­covered outside the jail, walking uneasily all about the grounds, making frequent trips from the cell to a point out of sight. Occasionally he was heard rapping on the window of oue of the prisoners' cells. An effort was made to secure this outside help but he vanished, leav­ing a ladder which was probably intended for seevice.

The joke of it was, the officers were watching Wilson during ail his efforts at lock breaking Finally, Sheriff Wheelock asked bim if he ex­pected friends.

"Well,'" said Wilson, "if any Of my friends are about here, frhey had better 'git' '' speak­ing the last word so that his companions in the other cells might hear, whereupon they all called out in a loud voice "c;rr," iutenQing thereby to warn any outsiders of danger.

Wilson was then rem >vr>d to another cell, but we are told ho was "restless" all night-This morning about half past Mjven, the pris­oners were let out of their cells to wash. While the officers were at breakfast, ah explosion Was heard.

The SberiS was on the stockade with a revolv­er in an in?tant, bat the prisonera were still in keeping. It was found that they had filled the lock of the outside door wi*h powder, and had blown tbe Uck off, making a hole as large as a

A Great Favorite.

BECOMING A GREAT f AVOKiTE,--The "Whirl­pool" is becoming a great favorite sot only with the ladies, bat with their husbands also. And no wonder, for i t does away, in a great measure, with the drudgery and unpleasant­ness of Washing. What family does not almost dread "washing day!" It gives the husband the "blues," (especially when he has to do the washing himself), it makes the wife just a little bit, if not a good deal, "out of sorts, and causes Bridget to be "sassy," and declare that she will leave at Once. With the "Whirlpool" a large washing can be done in an hour or less, there will be no wear or tear of Clothes, and Bridget and the entire household will retain their good humor.

All who have tested the "Whirlpool" are much pleased with it. Mr. Solomon Mathews, of this town, tried it a few days ago, and he authorizes us to state io the Independent that in his opinion it is by far the best Washer he has ever seen. Mrs. Myron Everts and Mr. William Ames also saw it work, and we learn that it stands No. 1 in their estimation.

It is tot , as we have before stated, our pur-pos2 to decry other washing machines, and did we not feel persuaded that the ".Whirlpool'* was an excellent waslher, We would net (al­though interested in its sale), Bay one word in its praise. We should be sorry to sell one without its giving good satisfaction. All We ask our readers is, to test the "Whirlpool" be­fore purchasing any otlher machine.

So convinced are three of our citizens of the superiority of the "Whirlpool," that they have bought the Right of Il l inois.

Town Rights for sale at a low rate.

This was intended, and we believe, accepted by both parties as a refusal upon our part to contribute to the rancor and bitterness then too rapidly growing in our midst.

Numereus articles by ''Straight Liners." some of them containing seveie personal attacks upon citizens of our village, continued to ap­pear in other papers, but so far as we reniem ber were never replied to by the persons attacked. One thing We know, our friend^ respected our decision above given, and w* believe, oor motive, and for months not an article was offered to us upon the surject bj either party.

Up to this time no improper effort to bond the town had been made so far as we are aware. Each party had, as we believe, put forth its beft effort to advance the interests of its own l'ne, and soon, as we supposed, both abandoned tbe idea of success.

The Pfccenix route was killed in the Legisla­ture. Tbe bonding of Mexico was, after plough" ing ana cross ploughing the town, abandonedas impossible. For months nothing was done upon

. either side. It was only after the air became thick with charges, and we are compelled also to say, with evidences, of Fraud, Bribery,For­gery, and Perjury, that our columns were again opened, to either rarty, and they were then equally open to both.

Never has a a line (to the best of our knowledge) upon this subject been offered to us for publication and refused.

We have been engaged for many years in the n< wspaper lousiness, and think we "appre­hend the newspaper code in such matters."

We know, too, that articles published over fictitious signatures, even when the publisher has the guaranty of a genuine name, are l iable to gross abuses, and should be carefully watch­ed ty publishers, to see that innocent persons are not injured ia a manner cot capable of being remedied by a reply.

We are sure our eitizens are not aveise to both sides being heard, but we will not at this time further answer that portion of the words quoted. We think the Press an active, spicy newsy paper, taking an advanced position of independent journalism. We do not believe it intends to misstate the position of its cotem-

tnan's hat. Tbe door, however, was still held by an iron bar, although escape could have been made very soon.

The door was of 3 icch oak. but it was w-11 shattered, and there is hardly a whole pane of glass now in the jail. The prisoners were at once ironed and locked up. It is evident these fellows mean mischief, and need careful treats ment." But the officers have, as yet been equal to tbem, and we hope they will not re -lax their'^iglance. In case the burglars are sent to Auburn, as they undoubtedly will be, there sto-nld be a Mrong guard all the distance, for confederates of the prisoners are liable to spring rtp almost anywhere.

Quite a kit -of tool* were exhibited to us by the sheriff this morning—rough and "home made"—but better than none. Where they came from, or where the powder was obtained, are problems left for ti;e prisoners to explain.

We learn also, that a revolver was found in possesion of the prisoner? this meaning. There is not much doubt, that the priFO'.crs hare plenty of friends or confederates lurLiriprabout but thus far their * 'little plan' don't woik#

"U» «Ifceii's Service" At Graco Church (IpUcopal) in this village, on the; evening of Eaiter Day, was a most Interesting one to "children of larger growth" as well as the little ones. g The service opened by singing an Easter carol, responsively by children and choir; then the Lord's prayer, the lesson, creei and evening prayers.

Then followed another beautiful carol:

Christ hath arisen I Death is no more!

Lol the [white-robed ones Sit by the door.

Dawn, golden Morning, Scatter the night!

Haste, ye:disciples glad, First with the light.

CH—Dawn, golden Horning, Scatter the night!

Haste, ve disciples glad, First with light*

After which the offerings of the classes were presented to the Rector, by the youngest scbol ar in each class, these offerings are the gatherings of the several Glasses during tbe year, brought in by pennies each Sunday, and are to be used in purchasing a font for tbe new Church. The amount was $89.00, which will be ample for the purpose, and a fitting gift from the "lambs of the flock."

After the announcement of the amount and singing of another carol, the Rector—Rev: G. H. WatBon—gave a short sermon from first epistle of St. John, 11th chap., 13th verse, "I write unto yon little children, because ye have known the Father," closing.with singing and prayer; So ended a most delightful day to the Parish. glWe learn that the offerings at the morning service, to be expended toward finishing the Church edifice, were in cash and pledges-$1,383.42. This Is exclusive of any subscrip­tion or gift heretofore received.

solved. The time Was when people marveled at the immense quiantity of Furniture and Dry Goods of every description that were constant­ly passing to and from the establishments of D. Lester & Sops. I t has been a matter of in-terest to watch the wagons loaded with such elegant furniinre, t-i--: -tetss, Sofa chairs, mar­ble top tables, &c„ &c, as they moved slowly away to their place of destination, and weie deposited in village and farm bouse, ornament­ing and beautifying Wherever they appeared.

ANONTMOUS ARTICLES.—We are in receipt of a communication signed "Equal Rights," touch­ing the oftmooted bonding question, from a "straight-Hne" view. The paper is temperately written, and we shall be bappy to publish it if the writer will send us bis true name. This we require not for publication, but in obedience to a well established newspaper rule. Pubr lishers require this the world over for their own protection, and. much as we would like just now to accommodate our friend, "Equal Rights/*we must defer his article until our next issue, with the hope that in tbe meantime he will enable us to publish it, furnishing hia

name, which we agiee cot tc use if thus he prefer.

CORRECTION.—Our account of the bonding 7 trial published last week, contains some inac-enraciep, owing to the the fact that the "proof" Was too imperfectly taken and hastily read. We said, ninety-eight persons, representing $19,006, &c, are shown to have removed This should have read twenty-eight. There j nre other inaccuracies, but this we believe is

only one calculated to mislead. the

The Coui't House sva capacity.

At 2:20 tbe District Attorney moved the sen­tence of the prisoners, Francis Wilson, Joseph Eingsland, and Albert Williams.

Before pafsing sentence the Judge stated that ho '..ou!d say A ft,w words to the prisoners — u few only .-because many would be wasted. Thtre was no doubt that they were no com­mon crimi'ais; had cut loose from all ties which bound them to respect tbe property oi -their neighbors or their lives if they were ob-sticles to their desires. Tue? were pirates up­on the land acd possessed ail the elements to be pirate? upen the seas. They t a l i-sorted to bribery and had also attempted to break jail.

The Judge in alluding to bouquets sent the prisoners said that they were seat by no I.ADIKS -^-co ladies unless they were of their own fam­ily. The Judge'B remarks on this point were more scathing than the sentence itself. ';Who were the LABlies?"

Upon this Judge Fester proaouuejd sentcocc upon each of the prb-oncrs, as follows: Five j years each, on the two indiGtments iound against tberfi, (burglarly in the 3d degree, and grand larceuj) to imprisonment and hard la-bui, in the State Prison at Auburn, making ten y-t-ars imprisonment, each man's portion.

The prisoners received tneir sentence some what coolly, though Wilson showed Lis excite­ment somewhat in taking repeated drinks ot water. Wilson has shaved his chin—no doubt with tbe hope of escaping detection alter his eseape last night—bad the escape come off.

Wilson swore that he was born in New Or­leans, was 28 years ot age, and had no pro­fession. |

Kiusland swore that he was born in New York city, was 29 years of age, and was a dealer in real estate.

Williams swore that be was born in Snffolk Co., Mass., was 28 years of age, and had no profession.— Watertown Daily Times,April5

[We have read with much interest the proceedings of the Court upon these trials, as they have been very fully given from day to day in the Watertown Daily Times. This paper has shown great enterprise for a few months past in giving very complete locale, and we congratulate it upon the rich placer discovered in this matter of the burglary. We have a friend on the editorial staff, and are happy to recognize frequent tracea of his able pen.

This trial has proven a hardship upon some of the parties residing here, who have from day to day for weeks been compelled to dance attendance as witnesses iQ a strange place, upon expense at hotels, and for railroad fare in a trial on behalf of the people where no witness fees are accorded, Especially has this been the case with the officers, who, at much personal danger, made the arrests. While they have been absent, the Bonding Suit has b e n on, and tbey have lost the business (not incon«ii-erable) of subpoenaing the horde of witnesses for that trial. We trust that they may be in some way suitably rewarded—ED. IND.]

PtLASKt CHARTER ELECTION—which toek place on the 3d inst,,, resulted in the election of the union ticket, which is as follows:

President, Frank 8 Low; Trustees—Frank S Low, L J Hawley,SD Moore, B L Doane, IJ H Lyman; Treasurer, W B Dixon; Assessor; Thomas R Ingersoll; Collector, Elieha Bush-nel'l; Chief Fireman, Richard W. Box.

In reference to said election the Democrat says: "Such an exciting contest at the polls was never witnessed here before, and it is to be hoped never will again. The two opposing pirties were beaded respectively by Drs.Low and Betts, and the trouble seemed to arise front the fact that numbers of the Syracuse Northern railroad hands, at present laboring in the cor poratlon, presented their votes. The Low factiion declared they were legal voters, While 11. .Betts' party 'allowed' they should be put to the test, and persisted in challenging each and every vote psesented by these men, who in turn, took their solemn oath that they were natu ralized, residents of Pulaski, &o."
