DOMESTIC.

WASHINGTON February 6.-The doc
trine of Legislative cOntempts receives dali
~ illustration. A case occurred in the
Virginia legislature, contcmporaneously
with that which was before the House
of Representatives of the United States,
and which terminated in the discharge of
the alleged offender.
More recently case has occurred in
the legislature of Maryland, in which, on
the 30th ult. The House of Delegates, by
vote of 27 to 20, directed the Speaker
TO issue Ills warrant, commanding the
Sergeant at Arms to arrest " certain @.
Keatinge," for" a contempt committed a.
gainst The authority and dignity of this
House, III issuing d certain malicious and
scandalous publication, III a newspaper
published at Westminster, Frederick
county, called The Observer under The
date of the 23d inst. which publication
is directed 10 the Hon. James Nabb, a
Delegate TO this General Assembly," &c.
This order remained Oh the Journal a
whole day when, after a nights consul
tation 0fthe pillow, and perhaps a little
caucussiug, MIR. Forrest Introduced mo-
ton, with a preamble reclting the dis
lance Of the residence of the said Keat-
inge, and the sufficient contempt shewn
by the House of the contempt against it)
that, therefore, :" the said warrant be coun-
fernandez, and that all further proceed
ings against the said Keatinge cease"
But Mr.. Forrest did not succeed in his
prudent endeavOr to save the House from
the modification of retracing its steps:
for melton prevailed TO strike out all
his preamble, &c. aud substitute the fol-
lowing: Ordered, that the resolution a
dOpted on the 30th instant, in relation TO a
certain 6. Keatinge, beand the same as here
by 'escinded." and this order was agreed
to, 81 10 DC. Considering that the House
were in pursuit of a printer some fifty or
sixty miles off, and that the FREEDOM
OF THE PRESS happens TO be secured
by the constitution, we admire the dexte-
rity of Mr.. Forrest, in his attempt to re-
lieve them from perplexing business; it
was worthy ofan older head. The nature
Of the publication referred to we have not
understood /; but we have no doubt that
the House of Delegates happily escaped
a defeat which would inevitably have en-
sued, in a contest before Court of JUS
tice between their Sergeantat Arms and
Mr.. q. keatinge. Nat. Int.

Whose pleasures 50 highly are priz'd
Affection may tell; for her tenderest touch
Proves it folly, by cunning disguised
Thy lessons, adversely teach us truth,

How anxious for riches, the multitude toll
How many are seeking for fame
In the race how they pant, and forget the turmoil
That the world may be filled-wth name
All few, very few stay to think Of the hour,
When wealth will be useless and impotent power.
What crowds live for nought, bat to eat and to
sleep,
Who would tremble their lives TO resign
What thousands in sickness and poverty weep,
Who at deaths dread approach would repine /!
Vow if dn the earth, there were genuine faith,
Would the poor and the wretched SO shudder at

FARMERS OF MAINE, LISTEN.
In September, 1917, having disposed OF
a valuable and well cultivated farm in Har-

for travelling, Mr.. Norton with his wife
and children commenced his journey to the
g land cf promise" With the loss Of one
horse he arrived at Waterford, on the Mus
kingum, about 20 miles above Marietta.
There he resided until about two months
ago His object was to find an eligible
place for himself and family: be spent The
time when there, in ascertaining the prices
and qualify Of the adjacent lands, and the
produce Of the country. Most Of the lands
and all that are good, (says he, are in the
hands Of Spectators or men Of property ;
their circumstances are such, as not to rem
der immediate sales Necessary, consequent
y they never sell unless at very EXCHANGED
prices. The high, mountainous and rocky
lands are the cheapest, and may be purchas-
ed for about 81 an acre ; the low meadow
lands command from so 10 loo dollars, the
latter are very fertile, but our ideas ofthem
Gar exceed the ieality. Mr.. Norton informs
that provisions Of every kind were very
scarce. Potatoes (,ho' very miserable) sell
for so cents per bushel corn the same
price whea, 81. Meat, scarce, poor and
dear. And shoes were so difficult TO be OBJ

hand -
The personal conduct Of Gen. Putnam, at
the battle Of Bunker's bill, has undergone a
very full and impartial investigation by an a
bic writer in the Boston Ceptipel-We have
no hesitation in believing, that he has the
most undoubted claims to that heroism and
galIantry with which his name has always
been associated. The testimony of the most
respectable witnesses--men who shared with
him the perils Of our revolutionary struggle,
who were eye witnesses to his cool and IN
daunted valor, have set the question at rest,
and his fame shines with lustre more bril-
liant and glowing from the furnace through
which il has passed-The audacity Of the
SANDER which denounced this brave and mag
soldier, has met with the ignominy
it merited-and the hand which was sacrile
giousIy put forth 70 tear the laurel that bloom
ed upon the grave of the gallant dead, has
been wthered and shrunk by the lightning
that guarded it. The letter of our distin-

I" The spirit Of bitter and furious elections
eerns, once SO fashionable in this State, seems
10 have takeni its fight to the south aud west.
IN election for Member of Congress now
pending in Charleston, has occasioned much
warmth; and if we are to1udge from appear
ances Kentucky viii hereafter be torn and dis
tracted By contending factions OF the same
party. Our young sister, New Orleans. even
10 her infancy, has also caught full share of
the spirit. An election has Just taken place
there, for Members ofthe State Legislature,
the result Of which we have not yet heard
but judging from the New-Oreans papers
lately received, we should suppose that the
staple products of the country were worm-
coed and gall, instead Of sugar aud naolasses.
as We have generally believed. The art Of
dragooning bard names and abusive epithets
into service, has attained perfection. The
sevefest struggle at this place appears to have
been between Freachman and Greole-A-
mericans being out Of the question and the
cream of the joke is, that the electors are call
ed upon 10 support them, as REGARD for tie
