CoNGREss.-The news from Washington,
so far as we are enabled to discover, is wholly
without interest. The salt tax, the blood
hounds for the Florida War, the Cumberland
Road, etc, constituted the FrinciTa' topics of
discussion.
Concerning the New Jersey Members, the
correspondent of the Charleston Courier, says:
81 understand that the committee on Elec-
tons of the House, have determined to post
pone the further consideration Of the Jersey
case, till the middle Of April next, and to allow
the Pennington members that interval TO pro-
cure testimony as to the legality OF the votes
polled against them. The ground that the
commissioned members were entitled TO the
return from the facts laid before the governor
has been abandoned. The object now, is tc
90 behind the result of the ballot box; and &c
eudeavor to prove frauds and irregularities
which may set aside the election altogether
So, it is certain, that Jersey must go unrep-
resented this Session.

tanned. We have neither the space or the
heart to speak of this reckless violation of the
constitution and laws as it deserves, this MORN
ing, but must recur to it again.
In this act, the people will reap the bitter
fruits oflocofocoism, against which we have so
long and so frequently warned them. Could
our cousel have prevailed the state would have
been spared this last act of the disgracefu dra-
ma, but as il is the deed is done, and no efforts
of ours can undoit, and the only duty we can
now do the public.is to bring upon the true au-
thors of This mighty wrong, the punishment
which its infamy merits. To do this we shall
spare no exertion--we shall lay the backs of
the guilty criminals bare, and if the people do
not punish, then do they deserve to be ridden

Butler is a valuable article of food, and
forms great resource for. the inhabitants
Of the country; hut on those regions where
the extent aud fertility of the pasture lands
permits great numbers Of horned cattle
to be raised, it is impossible for them to
consume all the butter they make, whilst
it is fresh; aud besides, as the quantity LOT
butter made is not the same at all seasons
oflhe year, it is necessary that some means
should be resored to of preserving it from
becoming raacid, and This is done by salt
ing it. =
The chice of a kind Of salt suitable for
preserving butter is NOT matter of less
importance. than when it is used for salt

il is advisable that il be whitened and pu-
