SERIOUS QUESTIONS.

| had always been accustomed to enter
tain a high respect for Mr. Falrheld's moral
qualities; but since he has become pub
lie character, Thave had fears that he has
at times been guided rather by political ex-
pediency than by sound principle. know
that it is difficult for thorotigh-going par
tizan, as now believe Mr. Fairfield to be,
tn maintain that strict and uncompromls-
ing regard to truth and moral rectitude
which the canon Of ethics requires. As
view the subject, political expedency can
never Justify departure from moral prin-
ciple, nor sanction the loose notions W hich
prevail among politicians Of disregarding
the quality of means, in endeavor'ng to ac-
compish their favorite measures. Mr.
Fairfeld's conduct IN relation to the report
of the duelling committee has somewhat
shaken my confidence in him, and subse-
qnently some facts have come to my knowl-
edge, which have increased my suspicious !,
and given me surprise. Part of them will
be gathered from the following interroga-
tons to Mr. Fairfield:
/. Whether you required the late POST
master of Saco to Frank letters written by
you or your partner in the name of your
firm and on your business as attornies?
g. Whether he refused to frank such
letters on the ground of its being an abuse
to the ranking privilege?
8. Whether you applied to the Postmas-
ter General to remove the obnoxious depu-
ty and used all your influence and partisan
generalship with him to accomplish your
selfish object! And did he not refuse to dc
it,
4. Whether you did Immediately aftel
the refusal of the Postmaster General te
move to this deputy, apply to General
Jackson personally and urge the remova
of this faithful officer?
s. Whether he did not at length yield to
your repeated application and issue his
mandate? and especially on the ground
that the person recommended by you for
the office, was worthy Of the revolution
g. Whether the person who was appoint
ed by your urgency, was indeed the yete-
ran you would have 1t supposed, or was on
ly his son?
A candid and full answer TO these que
ries, without equivocation or disguise, will
be satisfactory TO one who was panied to
hear a history of the transactions which
the questions disclose. SACO.

The Pirate and the Dove.

The following interesting fact is related
by Audubon in his Ornithological BIZ
ography. In speaking of the Zenaida dove
he says-"A man who was once a pirate
assured me that several times, while at
certain wells dug in the burning shelly
sands of well-known key, which must be
here nameless, the soft and melancholy cry
of the doves awoke in his breast feelings
which had long slumbered, melted his
heart to repentance, and caused him to
linger at the spot in state of mind which
he only who compares the wretchedness of
guilt within him with the happiness of for
fner innocence, can truly feel. He said
he never left the place without increased
fears Of futurity, associated as he was, al
though believe by force. with band of
the most desperate villains that ever an
noyed the navigation of the Florida coasts
So deeply moved was he by the notes of
any bird, and especially by those of dove,
the only soothing sound he ever heard du-
ring his life Of horrors, that through these
plaintive notes, and them alone, he was in
duced to escape from his vessel, abandon
his turbulent companions, and return to
family deploring his absence. After pay
ing parting visit to those wells and lis
tening once more to the cooings of the Ze-
MAZDA dove, he poured out his soul in sup
plication for marcy, and once more became
what one has said to be "the noblest work
Of God, (" an honest man His escape was
effected amidst difficulties and dangers;
but no danger seemed to him to be compar-
able with the danger of one living sinathe
violation of human and divine laws; and
how he lives in peace in the midst of his
friends"

SMALL BILLS.

AN APRIL FOOL AFFAIR. The Nation
al In.eligencer informs us that among the
bills industriously pressed through the
House of Representatives on Saturday
night, Tor Sunday morning,) by nearly or
quite a party vote, was the bill which
long time ago passed the Senate, for pre-
venting the circulation of small money
bills within the District of Columbia. The
first of April last was the day on which the
Senate intended to take effect; and so the
bin was to read "from and after the first
of April next" SC. &c. The previous
Question, called in the House by the
friends of the bill. cut off all amendments;
SO that bill has been passed, which IN Ell
feet sanctions, until the first of April nfrt,
the issue and circulation of 25 cent notes,
which before that time it is hoped, IN the
natural course of things, will have ceased to
circulate at all. The Previous Question
and indecent Legislation will often recoil
back upon the movers and actors
The Supplementary .Army Bill has be-
come law. An appropriation 81 $780,
900 has been made TO defray expenditures
during the current year under the new
Army Bill.
The Fotifcafiom Bill. The annual bill
of appropriations towards completing Tor
tfcations, passed both Houses.
The Indian Appropriation BiH.--This
great bill, involving appropriations to the
amount of or or three millions of dol
lars, finally passed both Houses.
O6ictrs Of The Customs, A provision
has been passed for the benefit of those Of
fcers of the Customs whose compensation
fell short by the operation of the act O
Congress ofthe year 1882.
