THOMAS G. PRETTYMAN
Has lately patented, and is now manufacturing,
a SPRING Sad DIE,

Much superior to any that hare hitherto been offered to
the Public
This improvement consists in the suspension or the
whole seat, by two springs, similar to gig spring,
which being screwed on the back part OF the cantle OF
the saddle, receives an iron bar, forming the sweep of
the cantle thus preserving from receiving any injury
by horse rolling the saddle and making the saddle
tree more firm than it would otherwise be, which can
not fail to give ease to both horse and rder-a frame al
so enters the back of the camille calculated to raise the
Vace or Portmanteau, and keep entirely clear OF the
horses back-this can be put on or removed IN mo-
ment. Gentlemen DESTROYS of further explanation are
invited to call at the store and examine the model
Persons out OF the District wishing to purchase the pa
tent right will be dealt with on liberal terms on app
cation as above.

The trial of Barker and others in Newly ork,
for conspiracy to defraud, has again common
ced. The jury was sworn on the 22d.s We
short time since expressed doubt whether
twelve competent men could be found in the
city who had not expressed an opinion upon
the case. In challenging the witnesses, the
judge decided that if the Individual had formed
an opinion, hut was still open to conviction,
he was competent to sit upon the trial. Al
most every juror confessed that he had for
med an opinion; some had expressed them-
selves strongly in the case-one had said that
the IS accused ought to be hung first, and tried
afterwards another said that he should have
found them guilty upon the former trial-and
many other opinions of the same kind were
expressed. From appearances we should
suppose the trial will not be as long and
intricate as the former, and we hope the re-
suit will be more conclusive.

Massachusetts, Cldim.-This claim upon the
General Government, of twelve years stand
ing, and the subject Of much debate. has re-
ceived new auxiliary in Mr.. Lincoln, gov
ernor elect ofthe state Of Maine. Should the
claim be allowed, that state win come in for
share proportioped to its relative interest in
the fiscal concerns Of Massachusetts at the
time Che money was expended, for which it
is founded. Mr.. Lincoln in his publication la
bours to prove the justice of the claim from
the actual services of the people, whose rights
he contends cannot be abridged by the mis-
conduct Of their rulers. He Of course con-
dennis the Conduct Of the executive of Massa-
chusetts, and argues that the state, having de-
nounced the error, should not.be visited with
the consequences of such misconduct in the
constitute authorities. This question IS one
which involves considerable doubt, and pre-
SCENTS many arguments on both sides, Our
government claims immense amounts from
several of the European powers, although the
ininstice, which has created these claims, was
perpeaEated by entirely different rulers and
different dynasties from those which now ex.
list. In strict legitimate monarchial view
