"A PROFLIGATE REFORMED BY MEANS

equal rights to possess property, &c. when
at the same time, there is over halt mil

The committee say, that the tariff law is

themselves in by prohibtory duties, on cot

port their products abroad, take the same

Coursgeux would be FIRED by the furnaces, be-
ing constantly engaged in heating shot."-BrtiSh
Political Magazine, l7si.
Here again the word is used, as we
have used it, and although, we would not
cite such quotations as arbitrary authority,
we consider them quito sufficient, to prove
that the word was not by us, at the time in
allusion, improperly applied. Ifit should be
objected, that, in the last quotation, where
Lord Mulgrave, speaks of guns being fret
that it is figure, and not in point, we
shall reply. that gun, cannot be FIRED,
without fire is put to it, when it becomes
FIRED, no matter, whether fire is commu-
nicated by accident or design,-and fur
ther, that it requires no ghost to prove,
that gun was never FIRED, unless fire,
was first applied Be this however as it
may, the latter part Of the sentence, where
his lordshp speaks of its having been fear
ed that the ships would be FIRED by the
furnaces employed in heating shot, is COM
pletcly in point, and if the authority be
worth anything it is triumphantly quoted!
We are ready to admit, that no such word
as fired, is to be found in the Dictionaries
Of johnson, Walker, Perry and Entick,
but if the literary sticklcr is disposed to
take a little pains to inform himself, he
will find the word laid down, and defined
as we have defined it, in the Lexicons of
Sheridan and Bailey.
But we care not a rush, if the word be
not found in Johnson and Walker the
fact does not prove that no such word is
to be found in the Language; and we are
far from conceding, that every word that
is not laid down by Johnson, ought to be
exploded, and exepelled from the use and
adoption Of the English scholar If FIR
ED, is not to be allowed a place in the vo-
cabulary Of the language, what will be the
fate of " hired, admired, desired, conspir-
ed, and lengthy" words which are as COM
mon, and certainly as useful as any 9TH
ers, and yet neither of them, are recog-
nized or defined by johnson.
Although we entertain as sincere sense
Of respect for the learning and talents of
DIR. johnson, as any others, we cannot
consent, that every useful word now en-
ployed in writing, which does not happen
to be found in his Lexicon, should be scout
ed, as " a cumberer Of the earth," as I'M
meaning and sensoless. The Doctor, when
he compiled his dictionary, made many and
some valuable improvements on the Ian
guage; and, we would ask, if others are not
at liberty to do so!
Noah Webster, has taken the liberty to
introduce into his Dictionary, more than
eighteen thousand words, which Doctor
johnson and Mr.. Walker did not lay
down; and we should like to know, if the
whole Of them are to be laughed at and
cast aside, because Samuel johnson,
L. J.. ID. author of Rasseas and the Ram
bier, did not happen to give them counte-

TUESDAY MORNING. JAN. >, 1897.

Mr.. Calhoun. An explosion has taken place al
Washington, which has caused great sensation. A
Major Saterlec Clarke has charged Mr.. Calhoun with
having participated in the profits of contract, when
Seer etary of War, given by him Mr.. Elijah Mix,
for work done at the Rip Raps--and that Mai Vande.
ven,er pa,nas,er OF the army, was also partaer of
the profit. To establish This, Clarke has published
letter from Mix in which the assertion of Mr. alhoun's
participation is made. Mix his part, denies the
letter TO be true copy of any written by HIM In con-
sequence Of the CHARGE Mr.. Calhoun has tctnporary
vacated the clair of the Senate, and demanded an
investigation of his conduct by the House of Repre
sen'atives. This has been granted and p committee
of seven, IF whom Mr.. Floyd is cha irnan has been
detailed 10 make the invest; alton We refer TO the
Congress head, fur Mr. Calhonn's letter. and the de.
bate in the House of Representatives.
What the investigation will produce, we cannot
conjecture but we have The rc,notcst belief in
Mr.. Calhomn' guilt. The surposion of such mans
haalding his high reputation and b., liant prospects
by specializing in corruption, is incredible Such will
ing proof tisat shake the conviction We dislike
MIR. Calhoun's late political conduct but as Mr. FIoyd
observed. political warfare is one thing and attacking
'n"h's private character anuher. Ii is impossible
to account for Clark's conduct-h public exhibition
of the chage-witheut surprising that Isa himself is
satisfied Of its truth. As he has been smartng under

circumstances, must have conducted him to The opi
