CONGRESS.

APRIL "a. In the Senate the bill au-
thorizing the importation free of duty, of
iron for the construction of rail roads, pas
sed to be engrossed, by vote of 26 to 10.
The Senate laid on the table the resolu-
ton from the House for fixing day to
terminate the session. 1t is said that there
are now about four hundred bills before
the House of Representatives Only about
twenty laws have been yet passed at the
present session. The House of Repre-
sentatives instructed the Military Commit
tee to bring in bill abolishing the office
of Major General. The Senate had pre-
viously decided against abolising this Of
flee. The House by vote of 70 to SO
refused to concur in the amendment of
the Senate to the internal improvement
bill, by which the appropriation is restrict
ed to surveys already begun.
APRIL 25. In the Senate, the bill.
originally reported for the relief of the
surviving officers only of the revolutionary
army, was so amended as to embrace the
non-commissioned officers and privates.
The amended bill, Or rather the substitute
for the original bill, gives to each officer
in the continental line, who was entitled
to half pay by the resolve of 1880, full paw
during his life ; to each non-commissioned
officer and soldier, who enlisted and served
during the war, full pay during life. Some
discussion arose on the expediency of dat
ing back the pension to Sd March, 1926.

A motion by Mr.. Chandler to conHne

and non-commissioned officers who had
served three years, or during the war, was
adopted by vote of 30 to 70; and anoth-

THE MATTER OF FACT MAN.

| En- Of rACI MAN
A matter of fact man is one who would
as soon drink a tumbler of warm water as
read ten lines of poetry, who thinks toe
much learning worse than none, who
considers the whole body of the literati as
so many useless, and worse than useless,
drones in the great hive, devouring the
honey the industrious have accumulated
and all the while affecting to look down
upon those who feed them: he is one who
always comes to the point, never talks, but
is first to act whose Imagination never
goes farther than his columns of dollars
and cents who wears square-toed shoes
despises flop as he does toad; would
as soon get into his coffin as tight coat
believes the world is made up principally
of knaves and fools, and that its degene.
racy from old times is precipitate and still
increasing, and whose solemn opinion il
Is that in hundred years, unless mira
Gle turn up to prevent, there will be uni
versal bankruptcy, ruin, and worthlessness
He is one who always means to be honest

question, but who always means to make
sure of his own; who abhors speculation
from the bottom of his soul, gives credit
on good security; has but one price for
his goods, is content with small gains, so
they be But sure, and calculates to treat a
man in trade as well as the man does him.
Such is the matter of fact merchant.
The matter of fact mechanic makes ar
ticles in his line to order, puts in good
stock and charges accordingly; curses
his neighbours in the trade for running
business by underseling; thinks and
maintains that the manufacturing interest
is alone deserving of government patron
age, as being the most important interest
of the nation; shuts up his shop at dark
and opens by daylight, and brings all his
children up to good trades.
A farmer of this sort declares he has no
faith in the new tangled notions about
farming, but sticks close to the rules he
has inherited from his father, and which
hare descended in the family for fourteen
generations; he thinks an Academy the
worst place boy can go to-, and does not
want his children to know more than
himself; reading, writing, and arithmetic
make knowledge enough for man, woman,
or child.
The matter of fact literary man, as ma
ny such there be, knows what he does
know, certainly, has no vague and indis-
tlnct ideas in his head, is as laconic as
his command of language admits of, and
if ne interests us, it is always by the mat
ter and never by the manner he scorns
elegance of writing or speaking as cloak
over emptiness and an apology for sense,
liking it unto sprigged veil over an ugly
face, or the splendid binding of back
CANNON board lettered "Hume's Eng
land ;" he never lets out an idea till he
has fingered it into just the shape, and
then cleaves fast hold upon sobriety and
plainness both in the word and the thought
as he would upon plateiul of venison and
oyster-sauce. ZACH.

The committee on the subject of the late
nose-pulling affair at Washington have OBJ
tanned leave to sit during the session of
Congress, from which it is inferred that they
will make detailed report, and go into the
whole of the circumstances of the case. 1t
Is said there is great deal of testimony to
be taken. We have seriously doubted whe-
Their this affair deserved the Importance which
is attached to it. There is something so
contemplate and vulgar about it, that no
member of our republic can regard it as so
intimately connected with our national poll
ticks without deep humiliation and shame.
Viewing it as an individual affair it is utterly
insignificant; as violation of the peace.
and of the liberties of publick officers, it
certainly deserves publick apprehension. But
the notice which the President has thought
it his duty to take of it makes it incumbent
on Congress to consider and examine the
subject seriously and respectfully. We have,
therefore, only to regret that our political
history is to be stained with the record of
such a vile transaction, and to hope that,
disgraceful as it is, some good may grow
out of it.

The Tariff Bill, which has passed the
House of Representatives falls very far short
Of the wishes of the friends Of protective
system of duties, or of the "American Svs-
tem," as it is called. twill not probably be
bettered by the Senate. Mr. Randolph says,
the bill, as passed, has no reference to
manufactures whatever-but to the manu-
facture of President of the United States"
Mr.. Randolph, it is to be feared, is more
than half right; and if so we are glad the
protection afforded to domestic manufactures
is no greater. The present system of manu-
featuring Presidents should not be encour-
aged.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. We are much in

WHAT NEXT? The Lynchburgh Virgil
man has been attempting to prove that Gen.
Jackson was leagued with Aaron Burr, in
his famous conspiracy. We know not how
successful the attempt has been, not having
seen the paper, nor the evidences adduced
We think it less matter of wonder that he
was in the confidence of Burr, than that it
was not discovered before. These election
eering contests do wonders, however, in
developing characters.

ANOTHER FIRE IN F1TcHBuRG. A barn
belonging to DR.. Marshall, of Fitchburg,
was burnt on Friday, week before last. The
dwelling-house of DR.. M. narrowly escaped.
This, and also the late fire, by which Mr..
Shows house was burnt, are supposed at
Fitchburg to be the work of an incendiary ;
and so much alarm has it excited, that a
nlght-watch has been established. Attempts,
we understand, have been made to set fire to
other buildings.
At the present term of the Supreme Court
In Worcester, Jonah spaulding has been
convicted of maliciously setting fire to and
burning the carpenters shop of Mr.. Zacha-
rlah Sheldon of Fitchburg; and sentenced
to three days solitary Imprisonment, and
confinement to hard labour three years in
the State Prison.

WIND PUMP. A pumping machine, con-
trlved so as to go by wind, to be used in
freeing ships of water, has lately been exhi-
blted in Boston The invention originated
IN necessity, ship and crew being saved by
the construction of it at sea. Numerous
lives have been lost at sea, simply for want
OF strength in the crews of leaking vessels
to continue pumping. This invention must
therefore be considered a very valuable one,
and If found to answer the design of it, should
be on board every vessel.

The nomination of Gen. MacomD, for Ma
jor-G General, in the place of Gen. Brown, we
learn from private source is likely to carry
Gen. Harrison, Senator from Ohio, over to
the opposition. Gen. Harrison's friends, we
understand, and he himself, were very deslr-
GUS of his nomination, and delegation OF
them, who waited upon the President to as
sert his qualifications and claims, went away
confident of his selection; not, however,
from any assurances of President Adams,
but from the circumstance Of his hearing
and considering all they had to say in Gen.
HIS favour, as any discreet man in his stu
alton would, without offering any opinion OF
his own, or Directing to any advanced by
them. The nomination, therefore, of Gen.
Macomb somewhat surprised Gen. Harrison
and his friends, and was source of so much
disappointment, that it is at least doubtful
what course he will take in regard to the
election of the next President. 1t is also
doubtful whether the nomination of Gen.
Macomb be confirmed by the Senate; and
the House, entering into the spirit of the
occasion, it is thought, will vote to abolish
the Office of Major General altogether.
The GREEKS. Contributions continue to
be making in various parts of the country in
aid of the Greeks. In Essex County, in
consequence of recent address to the peo-
pie, very liberal collections have been made
in most of the churches.
FIRE IN CONCORD. On Friday, the 25th
ult., fire took place in Concord, in the
hatter's shop of Mr.. James Cogswell, Jr. in
front of which, in the same building, is an
English and West India Goods store, occu-
pied by Messrs. Bascom & Cole. No great
damage was done to any of the goods, they
having been seasonably removed. A man,
named Daniel Bishop, who slept in the
building, was so much suffocated by the
smoke as to die on the following day. He
was journeyman of Mr.. Cogswell's, and
was from Connecticut. Circumstances gave
rise to suspicion that this fire was the work
Of,an incendiary, and Mr.. Cogswell himself
has been examined and committed for trial
at the October term of the Supreme Court.
Report says that there had been misunder-
standing between Mr.. c. and one of the firm
Of Bascom & Cole, and that the former had
resolved to, be revenged. The room over
he store, it seems, was occupied by one or
more of Mr.. Cogswell's journeymen, as
sleeping room. The day previous to the
ire Mr.. c. removed the beds from this cham
Der, emptying the straw upon the floor. The
nan who lost his life, it is said, went to his
lodgings in a state of partial intoxication,
md finding no bed, threw himself upon the
straw, and was not awakened in season to
make his escape. These are the facts as we
earn them from verbal report. 1t is to be
loped the accused will be able to exonerate
himself from the dreadful crime which is
involved in the event.
