The Committee of the Cabinet Makers of
Philadelphia, who lately visited Washington
and we're refused an audience by the President
have reported, among other things, as follows:
can effort was made by your committee to
obtain an interview with the President, and to
this end the Hon. John G. Watmough politely
offered to introduce their chaHman to that Off
Ger, for the purpose of ascertaining at what
time it would be most convenient for him to re-
ceve Them The President received the chair
man with courtesy and gentlemanly demeanor,
but so soon as the object of his visit was mem
toned, the President spoke with great bitterness
Offormer committees by whom he had been vi
sted, stating that they had grossly illuminated
MIN; that such interviews l0ere coTTupttng- the
public n,orals!-and that he was determined to
put stop to them. He would be glad to see
the committee as gentlemen and individuals,
but if they wished to present their grievances
to his notice, they must do it in writing so as TO
allow him an opportunity of replying in the
same manner"
This business of corrupting the morals of
the people" is about one of the best jokes that
We have heard.

The Massachusetts Legislature has been in
session seventy-eight days. and during that time
has been busiy employed in postponing ndeti-
nitely all the business brought before it. 1t has
thrown out the pauper bill, the License BILL the
Town Register bill, private attachment bill, IN
solvent Debtors bill, all the new bank bills and
the Convention bill, besides many others too nu-
merous to specify. 1t thus has the credit ofhav-
ing done less mischief than most of its predeces-
sors. This is a fair offset to the charge that it
has done no positive good.
1t deserves, too, the praise, flowing from ano-
Their consideration; which is, that it has tolera-
ted no long speeches. Three or four years ago,
when the state rail road projects were on foot,
a debater hardly felt acquitted in the eyes of
his constituents, if his speech did not exhaust
two days. And the House sat quietly under
the infection. This session, there has been less
inclination to spin out talk, and any inclination
that may have been manifested, has been re-
pressed by such emphatic tokens as could not
be overlooked The present House, therefore,
ought not to be suffered to die and be buried
without some kind words to its memory.

ture NAV find favor elsewhere.
