called ON the Conmandant of Vera Cruz
and threatened TO protest the following day
He was answered that there was no occa'

houses at Vera Cruz subscribed the amount
Immediately, and lent it to Government un'

then on the road, about 80 leagues distant
from Vera Cruz. The money was PAID
to the French Consul on the day 1t be-

No news from the capital. The Re

firmly established than ever. The Con

FROM MISSISSIPPI.

A High.honded Measure.-Ihe way
the sheriiis in Mississippi venture TO take
the responsibility" should be caution 10
all the other States, and deter them from
the folly of making their Judicial and exc
eutiye officers eligible by the people nc
Circuit Court of Alfalfa county, MlssissiP-
pi, was to have been holden on the hrst
Monday of October, the day fixed by law,
bu, il was the interest of the people to
postpone the administrator OF justice lew
months longer, to allow time for the rais'
ing of another crop. To carry the popu-
lar wish into effect, the following plan was
hit upon, the success of which the result
will show. On the first day for the open
ING of the court, the Judge, whose appoint
ment il was on the circuit, took has scat
ON the bench as usual. After doing so IN
compliance with the regular routine OF
business. he ordered the sheriff TO open
the court. Instead Of obeying the mandate
of the Court and crying out ~ yes, U
YES" &c. &c. the aforesaid high executive
iunctionary stepped towards the Judge, and
handed TO him q bit of paper, saying
"here is my resignation" The Judge IN
formed hlm he could not receive IT,
Whereupon," says the Canton Advocate,
"the sheriff, as we are informed, absquat-
uiated, and will not, as is supposed, be
heard from again before November, when,
for his meritorions discharge Of his official
duties he hopes to be honoured by rec
lection" This is the second time that the
administration of justice in the same ooun,
ty was thwarlcd by the resignation OF the
sheriff.

10 III tho Offices Of President and Vice President
of the United States.
Seeing, we presume, that tins resolution,
if voted upon, would place the majority IN
an unnleasant attitude. the Speaker OF the
House called the member from Henry TO
tho Chair. and announced his intention of
offering an amendment, provided the House
would give him time 10 prepare it. Time
having been allowed him, he, the Speaker
of the House, offered the following
Resolved That the amendment offered by the
member from Lawrence is offered to embarrass
the majority.
TIE Speaker was proceeding to offer
some remarks in favor of his amendment
when he was called to order by the men,
Der from Lawrence, on the ground that
the amendment offered by the Speaker
was out Of order, as being irrelevant to the
subject under discussion and as lmputlng
motives to him, the member from Law
renee, By which he was far from being &c:
tuated.
After a few minutes, the Speaker re-
sumed the Chair, and pronounced his own
amendment 10 be out of order.
We venture to say that conduct SO dis.
reputable, on the part Of a Speaker Of a
representative body, is unprecedented III
the annals Of legislation. The history o.
Tennessee legislation may be searched ii
