REV. T.. X. ATERY.-We copy the proceedings
of the Ohio Legislature from the Western Hems-
phere.
PETITION PREsENTED.-By Mr. Sawyer, two pc
titions from citizens of Montgomery county-one
from citizens of Miami township, praying for
appropriation of 5000 from the State Treasury, to
pay for a clergyman in said township, which was
laid on the tabe-thc other recommending to the
favorable consideration of the Legislature, the
Rev. f. X. Avery of Rhode Island, n suitable
person for the clerical honOrs of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary." in pursuance of a law lately passed allowing
to said institution a Chaplain, and making an ap-
preparation for his support-which last petition Mr..
Barker moved to reject, The Chair decided the
motion to be out of order as the House had gran
ted the member leave to present ii. MIR, Gushing
then moved that the petition be not noticed on the
Journal of this House.
The Chair, upon reflection, decided that the mo-
ton to re lect was IN order.
The question then turned on the rejection, which
produced considerable debate. Messrs. Gushing,
Bostwick, Patterson and Leyman advocated the re-
lection, on the ground that it insult to the
House, and that it ought to preserve its dignity.
Mr.. Sawyer defended the petitioners respectable
and worthy men, and deserved respectful treatment.
He denied that it was intended as an insult to the
House, that there the least intention to cast
the distant reflection any religious order,
on religion itscf-it was done to show their dsap-
probation of the law paying money. out of the pub
lie treasury for the support of gospel, contrary to
what they believed, and would subscribe to, was
contrary to the very letter and spirit Of the consttu
ton.
Mr.. Medary hoped the petition might be permit
ted to lie upon the table; would only add to the
excitement already existing to reject it. One ofthe
petitioners had taken that course, and they of
the same tenor; their object could not be separated
no misunderstood that they intended to dis
approve of paying money out of the public treasury
for support of chaplain to the Penitentiary They
believed the law unconstitutional and improper, and
had taken this means of expressing their dsappro-
baton. lie did not rise for the purpose of apoIogi-
zing for the petitioners might be permitted to rest
togcther--he should vote against the rejection.
The vote rejecting Mr.. Avery was 46 to 30.

hour, that 1t was found impractcabe 10 aCcohPiish
it before the session had expired. We will not at
present enquire upon whom rests the blame OF ne
glecting a seasonabe discharge of duty; bat as 1t
seems to be the general impression that an extra
session of Congress will be called IN the course OF
the approaching summer, we would invite the atten-
ton of readers to question of some interest,
which has of late been mooed in several of our pub
lie journals. The question alluded is the follow
ing DO the members of the 23d Congress hold
their office until the commencement of the oath Con-
gress or does their term of office expire the 3D. of
March, the time when the 23d Congress expires!
The following remarks which extracted from
an article on this subject in the Boston Courier will
place the matter in its proper light and put an end
to all doubt upon this interesting question.
",There being some difference of opinion as to
when the new government commenced, some hxing
the time at the Both of April, when General Wash
ington was inaugurated, and others insisting that
the 4th of March was the proper time, according
to the act of the continental Congress- on the 2ch
of April, 1890, joint committee of the Senate and
House was appointed to consider and report their
opinion OH the question, "when, according to the
Constitution, the for which the President, Vice
President, Senators and Representatives of the Uni
ted States, have been respectively chosen shall be
deemed to have commenced?" On the 18th of
May this committee reported, That the terms for
which the President, Senators and Representatives
of the United States were respectively chosen, did,
according to the Constitution, commence on the 4th
day of March, 1889; and the Senators of the first
class, and the Representatives,, will not, according
to the Constitution, be entitled, by virtue of the same
election by which they hold seats in the present
Congress- to seats in the next Congress, which will
be assembled after the Sd of March, 1871.
The Senate agreed to this repor. on the same day
and the House concurred with them on the 18th OF
May.
This decision became, then, the law Of the land
and binding now settling the question in dispute
According to the provisions OF this law the House
of Representatives, which adjourned on the Sd, Is
not, rs has been stated in some papers, the House
which would meet in case the President should see
fit to call extra session of Congress, previous to
the first Monday in December next In such an
event, the members elect from those States which
shall have chosen their Representatives will meet
and form the Congress; and those States which
shall have neglected to choose representatives. will
be unrepresented until they shall. The term OF
Office of one third of the Senators expired the
third. The legislatures of several of the States
have already elected their successors. In those
which have not, the Executive, will have power tc
appoint Senator pro tenn, in case an extra session
should be called"

Brother's LOpe-There is something trans
cerdently yiytuous i'm the affection of hgh-hearted
brother towards his gentle and amiable sister, ne
can feel unbounded admiration for her beauty-he
can appreciate and applaud the kindness whicn sue
bestows upon hmsef-he can press her bright ups
and fair forehead and still feel that she is
be can watch the blush steal over her features when
he tells her of her inocent foes and he can clasp
her IN his bosom in consolation when the tears gush
sro,, her overloaded heart. With woman there is a
feeling of pride mingled with the regard which she
has for her brother. She looks upon him as one
fitted to brave the tempests of the world, as one 10
whose arm of protection she can fly for shelter when
she is stricken by sorrow, wronged or oppressed as
one whose, honor i, connected with her own, and
who burst not see her insuted with mpunity. lie
is to her as the oak is to the vine and though she
NAV fear all others of mankind she is secure and
confident in the love of her brother. Nothing al
fords man such satisfaction, and nothing entwines
sister so affcctionately among his sympathIes and
his interests, a profound reliance upon her vir.
rue, and strong conviction OF her difhdence ana
delicacy As these two latter qualities are far the
most delicious qualities of beautiful female, so
ore thew the strongest spells for enticing away the
affections of the other sex. female without deli
cacy is woman without principle; and as innate
and shrinking perception of virtue Is true charac-
terisc of pure hearted creature, so is the most
infallibe bond of union between hearts that truly
beat response to each other. There IS more ten
dcrness in the disposition Of woman than man /;
but the affection of a brother is full of the purest
and most generous impulses; it cannotbe quench-
ed by aught but indccacy and unworhness' and
it will outve a thousand selfish and sordld attach
ments. deep-rooted regard for gentle creature
born of the same parents with ourselves is certainly
oas of the noblest feelings of our nature, and were
every other feeling of human nature dead save this
there would still a bright hope remain that the
fountain of virtue and principle was not yet sealed.

years, but council of war; i'll which three disap-

the session, while the opposing bodies were carrying
on these skirmshes by committees. The House,

this OCCASION the Senate has uniformly betrayed
it for the last four years, resolutey maintained

The Senators who have pretended, in all their
speeches. that the President had the purse and
sword of the nation at his command, now contra
dicted all their assertions. They have shown, by
their conduct that even majority of Senators,
torousy violating the will of the People, have the
power to withhold both from the President-and
that they have the hardihood to exert that power
when the immediate Representatives of the People,
by an overwhelming vote, declared that occasion
might exist requiring this appropriation for the de-
defence of the country. This appropriation ofthree
millions was denied upon the pretence, that the dis
position of such sum upon the contingency that
affairs with France assumed hostile aspect, is too

The NIAGARA WHIRLPooL.--Ths whirlpool,
which is several miles below the fall, is of those
scenes which is too grand for description Instan
ces of accidents happening there, can best convey
idea of that dreadful abyss. The whirlpool is
large deep basin, in which the waters of the mighty
St. Lawrence revolve in perpetual whirl, caused
by their being obstructed by angle of the steep
and drcary banks which overhang this dreadful
place. The whirlpool, like the falls, has frequently
caused the loss of human life, instance of which
/ will here relate: MIR. Wallace, the Blacksmith,
had son, fine youth, ofwhom he was exceedingly
proud, and the lad one day went down to the whrl-
pool, and the current proving too strong for him, he
was carried into the whirl. His poor distracted moth
er sat on the gloomy banks, hours and days. and
behed the body of her own darling chill carried
round in a circle by the waters sometimes dlsap-
pearng for time, and then coming up and rcyov
ing on the surface of his watery grave; and con-
tlnuing for aldays, human aid being available
even to obtain his remains. An acquaintance, who
resides at the whirlpool, Informed me- that in the
of five six days, bodies which get into this
dismal cauldron, carried down the river.-It is
usual for persons rafting timber from places between
the falls and the whirlpool, to get off of the raft be-
fore they come to the basin, first placing the raft
such position may best enable it to float down
the stream without being carried into the whrl. On
one occasion however, one of the rafismen refused
to leave the raft-he not afraid all would 90

the unfortunate, headstroDg man upon it, made its
way downwards and was soon drawn within the
fatal circle, around which, for three days and three
nights, it continued to revolve, all the efforts of
thousand anxious spectators proved unavaiing. The
continual and sickenng motion he underwent robbed
the poor sufferer of all power to cat-sleep he could

rejected, by the Senate, the whole Fortification bill

This is an event greatly to be regretted the for

of immediate employ on these works, arc very con-

DueHing-A Greenland CustOm.-The Green
landers, it would appear, have too much good sense
to fight with pistols or with swords, or with other
weapons employed in mortal combat. They have
passions like other men--thcy feel insult as
keenly-and as they have character to sustain
their honor must be preserved, they resort to the
following means of obtaining redrcss-the account
ofwhch is selected from Canes Lives of Eminent
Missionaries a late English publication.
"The most singular of their observance is the
singing combat; if a Greenlander imagnes himself
injured by another, he betrays signs of vexaton
wrath, but composes a satirical poem; this he
repeats so often, that the women and domestcs al
last get it in their memory: then he publishes a
challenge every where, that he will fight duel with
his antagonist, not with sword, but n song The
latter repairs to the appointed place, where the peo-
pie assembled. The accuser begins to sing his
satire to the beat of drum, the only instrument
they possess, and his party and the auditory back
him steadily all the while, He discharges so many
taunting and ludcrous things at his adversary, that
the audience are moved to ocontinualaughter. When
he has finished, his rival steps forth, and reorts if
possible, with yet greater rdcule and bufloonery
his party eaise their chorus in union, and so the
laugh and the applause of the audience change
sides. They are allowed to speak the most cutting
words, but there must be mixture of rage or pas
sion. The whole assembly compose the jury, and
give the laurel to the best and sevcrest poet"
