Washington, FEB. 9, 1885
Dear Sir-I see objection to answering your
inquiry, nor to your communicating to the public
the result of the experiments made on Saturday, as
do perceive how it at all affect the prisoner.
On Saturday, l proposed to Gen. Hunter, the
Marshal of the District, that should examine the
pistols produced on the commitment of Lawrence,
to ascertain whether there was any defect in them,
or i'll the charges, any other way of accounting
for the failure to discharge them. | had requested
the Marshal to take charge of them, and keep them
in the same condition in which they were when ex-
amined before the Judge. l understood from him
that they were then, and had been since the exam
nation, locked up in desk in his Office / pro-
posed that should try the pistol still loaded, by
putting on another cap, and should then try each of
them several times by reloadng them with powder.
On our way to his office in the Avenue, met
Major Donelson, and l asked him to accompany us.
On taking the loaded pistol from the Marshals
desk, we examined the tube, and found the powder
the pistol, threw few grains of the powder in
his hand. We took from box of caps found in
the prisoners shop, without selecting it, one which
was placed upon the tube. We then walked to a
small enclosure near the office, and Maj. Donelson
fired it. The ball passed through an inch plank,
at distance of about five six yards, and lodged
nearly buried, in the opposite side of the enclosure
six or yards distant from the other. We then
loaded, with small quantity of the powder found
in the prisoners possession, each of the pistols
eral times, without taking any other means of for
cling the powder into the tubes then that of rammng
home small paper wads on the charges. The dis
charge took effect on every trial. f. S. KEY.

"BUSINESS TOMORROW"

Said the Theban governor, as he smilngy laid
by unopened, the letter that would have informed
him of a conspicracy against his lfe-" Business to-
morroW"-the answer was his death warrant, and
he sealed il with smile That night he
sassinated. Whoever has read his history, and in
vestgated the of great events, cannot have
failed note how often the scale of has been
turned solely by the weight of time; and yet, as if
in defiance of reason and experience, how many
in the daily practice of putting off "busness ill
morrow which should be done to-day; and this,
too, rather from habit than Incidence. There is no
subject upon which there have been more maxims
established than this; theme fruitful to the
preacher than the value of time still the waste of it
is tho source of failures, poverty, and death.
Now the business is put off till "to-morrow," and
then the succor comes " too late" There is not a
more universal error than procrastna,ion none so
insidious, and none productive of more misery.
None so insidious--for we often hear men dcscant-
ing upon the folly of wasting time who are in the
daily practice ofdcferring what could and should be
done once Strange fatality! that blinds, to ruin
us. This foiblc is common to all classes of society

farmer puts off his harvest till "to-morow," and

AffemDt by the Malays to cut off and Murder the
! Crew of an another American Vessel The barque
Kent, arrived yesterday from Pulo Panang, coast OF
Sumatra brings intelligence of an attempt to cut of
the barque Derby, of Salem, belonging to Stephen
j G.. Phillips, on the coast of Sumatra, by the Ma
lays. The information is conveyed in the following
letter from Capt. Felt master of the Derby, and
published in the Salem Observer of Saturday morn
ing:-
On the 10th June, 1884, lying at Trabangun
Tchute in bark Derby of Salem, loading pepper
while on shore that day, received information that
prov in a neighborng port was preparing to come
that night and cut me off, went on board imme-
diatcy, and made preparations for the defence OF
the vessel and kept viglant watch through the
night. As the day began to dawn, discovered the
PROV right ahead, coming slowly down upon me,
and within muslket shot.
7 opened my musketry and cannon upon him,
upon which he got his head towards the sea, and
appeared to be getting off fast he could, soon
after which n strong breeze came up, and j saw the
Prov pass in shore towards the village of Qualah
RaIlseau. / afterwards learnt from several sour
ces that the Prov came from Quidah Assehan, and
had IL men on board one of which came to Bac-
congang, while l lay there, and stated, that they
started with creeses only, calculating to find
prepared to receive them-to dagger every person
on board and to possess themselves of the money
and that they took freely of opium in order to be
more desperate.

lated above, account of an attempt to cut her of

BRITIsH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, LoNDoN.--Mor-
isons Hygcian Vegetable Universal Medicine, of the
British College of Health, have in the short space
of time they have been known in the United States,
gained such unparalleled celebrity in consequence
of the beneficial effects experienced by those who
have used them, as to Be recommended by thousands
as prevention, remedy of almost every disease
to which the human system is liable; and such has
been the unprecedented demand, and rapid sale of
these medicines, and their increasing by the in
tegent and heightened people of this country
that numerous unprincipled and mercenary individ-
uas, with the most shameless effrontery, have COM
posed spurious medicines, and counterfeited not on
ly the pills but the of packing and labelling
them-and offer them for sale, as the " Rear
Z" Genuine" or " Original, Hygeian Universal Med
icnes, with evident intent to palm off their spu-
rious nostrums the ignorant and unsuspecting as
the genuine Hygeian Universal Medicine, which
under that name have become celebrated through
ont Europe and America. This conduct so detes-
table in itself, and revolving to every virtuous
mind, very strong proof of the excellence of the
Genuine article-for " base coin will not long pass
undetected-and uncurrent coin is never counter
feited'
To prevent the pernicious consequences of this
abuse, every Agent authorised to vend the Genuine
Hygeian Universal Medicines is furnished with a
certificate of his appointment, which will be exhib-
tied on being asked for, and every package is la
belled aud signed by the State Agent and also by
the gent.--Each package is also labeled Nor

THE RuPus1roAN.
WEDNESDAY MORNING FEB. is, 1885.

Two more weeks will terminate the I'd Session
of the 23d Congress, when our sage Legislators Will
pocket their eight dollars day and homeward wend
their way, some of them indeed to return no more
forever. Though but a short time remains before
the close of the session, yet more OF interest is con-
nected with it than with the far greater portion al
ready expired. BY far the most interesting topic
which remains to be settled is the question OF Hos
tilities wiM France. Towards the action of Con-
gress upon this important matter the eyes OF the ma
ton, indeed of the world are directed The subject
has already been agitated in both houses and moth
ing is wanting to enable them to make final dis
position of but the arrival of information from Eu-
rope apprising them of the determination of France
either to fulfil or break the terms of the treaty That
information is daily expected and will probably ar
rive before the session expires From the debates
in the house are inclined to the opinion that the
of the executive will be sustained by de-
cided majority and could the majority OF the Sem
divest itself Of its animosy towards the Pres-
dent they too would no doubt support those meas
with equal patriotism. The latest information
from our minister at Paris prepares us to expect a
breach of their eaty, when nothing but the ultima
ratio regum" will be left for adoption. In plain
English must measure swords with Beau Nap
perty or acknowledge to him and to the world that
we are not able to help ourselves. If the latter
course be followed then indeed will we become the
laughing stock of nations and the name of an Amer
lean citizen will become title for the tools of Kings
to sneer at, nay term of reproach both at home
and abroad But we have little fear of such result
There still remains in the Union too much OF the
spirit of 70 1t may sumber for WHILE nay at
tempts may be made smother it, but it will only
cause it to break out with redoubled fury, and by
its noble deeds of daring convince the crowned head
that the rights and liberties offreemen are of too sa-
cred n character to be trihed with.

Mr.. CALmouN.-Mr. Calhoun of the U. S. Senate
has walked up, after he and his Bank-puppy- party
have been stunned by the last falls elections, and
commenced new warfare upon the executive by
bringing in string of resolutions against executive
patronage, and is letting off his steam which has
been generated by the furnace of Notification He
complains that public liberty is in danger from the
combination of the incumbcnts of office, in defence
of the executive This is the common slang of dem
gogues-the government is too strong Yes the
government too strong for Nullifers, and has
proved too strong for Bank-puppyism and modern
Whigism, and all other isms, and schisms, genera
ted and nursedby such men as he and his coadjutors
But not too strong for honest upright, peaceable
industrious citizens. Not too strong for the real
friends of liberty, the great republican family who
want just Government enough to keep such men
he has become in their proper places; for less than
that would be worse than no government at all.
MIR. Calhoun and his partners, may wrthe under
the lash of the peoples dspleasure and in propor-
ton as their cause becomes more and more hopeless,
he and they may occasionally pluck up courage from
despair-but the same power that has assigned them
their place, is still able to keep them there. The
strength of this government is in the affections of
virtuous and independent peope.It just where such
men do not like to have it lodged it is out of their
reach, and if they had the of the fox, they
would cry sour grapes and retire, leaving it to those
who can not only look, but reach higher. If the
public patronage has tendency to strengthen the
government, so much the better; the government is
thereby the more enabled do justice both to friends
I ,,,If f~as
pinch with such men! Let them turn honest
Let them love their country for the sake of
their country only, and not for the plum
der 1t might afford them individually, or col
l'ctivey, and then the strength of the government
will be to them as IT now is to their opponents, a
wall of defence.

AMERICAN MAGAzINE.-We have received from
the publishers the above periodical which is publish
ed monthly by the Boston Bewick Company.
cursory examination of its contents impresses vc-
ry fa,orbly in regard to its design and execution
1t is of the character with the celebrated PEN
ny Magazine which has been republished in this
country from the English work of that name The
American Magazine however possesses in our opin-
ion decided advantage over the Penny, inasmuch
the articles of reading and the illustrations which
it contains those which belong to own cOun-
try instead of foreign, and with these is certainly
more important for Americans to he acquainted than
with any other, provided one the other must be
neglected The chief object of bothis the diffusion
among the common people of great variety of use
fu information at cheap price, and so far are to
he patronised. But that American work Of the
same character with foreign should be preferred to
the latter appears to us as indisputable that a
man should consider all information relating to his
own business and affairs of more value to him than
the same amount of information in relation to the
business and affairs of other men.
