Good Nct@re.-Dame Grundy was the
most good na;ured woman aliye-Come
what would, every thing was right and moth,
ing wrong. One day farmer Grundy told
a neighbor that he believed his wife was the
most even tempered woman in the world,
for ne never saw her cross in his lde--and
that for once he should like to see her so,
well, said his neighbor, "go into the woods,
and bring home load Of the crookedest
wood you can find, and if that doesn't
make her cross nothing will" According
ly to try the experiment, he teamed home q
load of wood every way calculated 10 make
a woman fret. For week or more she
used the wood copiously, but not word Of
complaint escaped her lips. So, one day
the husband ventured TO inquire of her how
she liked the wood. 'Oh lis beautiful
wood "fd be glad to get another load,
for Ii fays round the pot complete"

Episcopal College in Winois.-We learn
from the American Citizen, that Bishop
Chase has found site most advantageous,
healthy and beautiful, for his Illinois Epis.
copal Seminary, in township ten, range six
east, being about IL or 10 miles from
Peoria, in north west direction. But
much of the ground in that vicinity, rs well
as the adjacent townships, is owned by per,
son holding patent soldier rights, whose re-
sldence is unknown to him. With such it
is his wish to correspond and he takes this
his only method to solicit the favor from
them, trusting that their benevoence will in.
cline them 10 ad his views. Bishop Chase
freely states, that the site of his seminary
cannot be fixed unless some Of these patent.
ed lands shall be obtained, either by pur,
chase or donation. To wait this event du,
ring the coming falland winter, he has fixed
his residence in the neighborhood, and he
may be addressed Mt Peoria Post Office.

What willy tempters, fierce and strong

The downward road how fearful steep,
The upward cliff, how hard to climb,
He only knows, whose records keep
The nameless countless grades of crime.
Scorn not the sinner, thou whose heart

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

On the 25th March, Mr.. Hall of Connecticut
offered counter report from the minority of the
Post Office committee, which takes the ground
that Congress has not the constitutional power
to restrain by Legislation the circulation by mail
Of incendiary publications. But the House re-
fused to receive the report.
Agreat part Of tho 9th and 25th Of March
was spent in discussing the case of contested c.
lection but no vote taken.
On 26th tho same subject was taken up when
debate arose which lasted till half past four O..
clock on Sunday morning, and produced very
great excitement. MI. Wise of Virginia and Mr..
Bynum Of n. C.. indulged themselves in harsh
and offensive expressions Of each other, to such
an extent as induced the House to interfere, and
procure mutual explanations and retractions-
No question was taken when the House adjourn
ed. On the 28th the case was again taken up,
when Mr.. Graham addressed the House at great
length in support of his claim to the seat now held
by him, and Newland roseto reply, but gave wsy
for a motion to adjourn.
Much praise is bestowed by letter writer's up
on Mr.. Rencher of N. C. for the ability display.
ed BY him during this debate. They say that no.
thing but the binding influence ofparty preju.
dice could resist the force and clearness with
which he demonstrated the right of the sitting
member to hiaseat. A bill was reported to increase
the army by adding one regiment o'artillery, and
two of infantry.

Mr.. Walker said he did NOT rise ~ cn.cr

MIR. w alker Sdlu ne QlO NOT rise 10 enter |
into the discussion, but merely for the pur.
pose of stuting fact. The remarks Of
the Senator from Ohio seemed to lead to |
the conclusion that the public money in the !
dcpositc banks might be used for political
purposes. He felt himsclfcalled on, there.
fore, to state that such was not the fact so
far as Mississippi was concerned. The
Planters Bank of Mississippi had moro of
the public deposites than any other bank in
all the western part of the country. The
directors of this bank were gentlemen oPPo.
scd to the party which is called the party OF
the Administration. The gentleman who
stood at the head Of the opposition ticket
(Mr. Lynch) was the president ofthc branch
Of the deposite Bank {; and the gentleman
who stood as candidate for Congress at
the head of that ticket (Mr. Wilkins) was
the president ofthe dcpositc bank. After
the result ofthat election was decided against
him, he was run as candidate for the u.
S. Senate. So far then rs the Mississippi
Bank was concerned the public money
could not be said TO have been used for po.
litical purposes BY the party called the par
ty Of the Administration. lie bclivcd that
the same would be found to be the state Of
facts in relation to all, or most of the other
banks. In fact, the whole Of this paper
system was ugainstt the party called the par.
ty Of the Administrations was against
the People. And whether the public mon.
ey shall be deposited in national bank,
or in deposite banks throughout the States,
instead Of being likely to be used for the
People, it will be used against them. If
money, dollars and cents, were 10 con-
troll, instead of the votes Of the freemen,
there would be q different party at the head
ofthe Government than that which is now
placed there. Count dollars and cents, in.
stead of votes, and the Government Of the
country would be in different hands.
! Mr.. Black said that politics had nothing
to do with the election Of the directors ol
the deposte banks in Mississippi. He be.
lieved, indeed, that they were opposed to
the present Administration and that this
was true of the anoneyed interests in his
State generally. Money was no test with
them, nor did it influence their elections.
! Mr.. Walker explained that he did not
mean to cast the slightest censure on the
Planters Bank Of Mississippi.
i Mr.. Ewing said that the Senator from
;. Mississippi (Mr. Walker) misunderstood
| him. He did not say that the Executive
had exercised this power, but that he could
if he chose. There was a difference be-.
tween the having of. a power and the exer.
else oft.
The motion was then agreedte. -.
