COrrespOudence ef the ". Y. COur. { Enq.


 The Court Journal this morning contains an article headed "Conspiracy against the President" and in the space ofa column and a half sets out the partic ulars of plot to which that of Titus Oates was mere child's play. This day week, according to the sa- pient article referred to, Mir. BottS is to move articles of impeachment against the Presi- dent, !" if he (Botts) be not in the mean time frightened from his purpose by the .MGdiSo- niGn" @ These articles being properly re- ceived, the Whig majority is forthwith to adopt resolution declaring the Presidents legal inability to discharge the duties and powers of his office while his trial shall be pending in the Senate" MT. Mangum is then to hold his court "at his boarding house." (Poor old Clements, his landlord, on Capitol Hill, will be not little astonish- ed at having his house converted into the bills, and "the Tariff Distribution Bill," are to be crushed through the Senate and sign ed by Mangum." The poor Capt. will be shut up in the White House, there to twiddle his thumbs, drink julaps and talk politics O with Wise and Profit. A duplicate Cabinet is to be appointed. A "struggle for the possession of the archives" is to ensue. The old Cabinet are to hold out their official buildings against the new by force of arms. A reign of terror will follow. John Jones is to be "among the first victims" The off, cers of the army are to side with MT. Man. gum, and the rank and file with the Captain. Thus far Master John Jones, with the gifted talents of the celebrated Oates, who so saga ciously smelt out the Popish plot in the days of Charles H., proceeds with his newly dis covered conspiracies. Next follows solemn prayer to the powers above for protection in the approaching awful crisis

THE CABINET.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Atlas gives the following very pro- bable conjectures, in regard to the Cabinet changes. We believe Mir. Webster will be able to explain himself when he comes forth from his most disagreeable position. We regret that letter which he wrote on tho re- tirement of Messrs. Bell, Ewing, and others. Beyond that, we are inclined to believe he will be able to vindicate his course to the satisfaction of many who have been puzzled to know what it all meant. The following is the extract: Palladium.
 The city is full of rumors and reports of every kind and variety-but nearly if not all are Or would be undeserving the least confidence, were it not that rumor has so often been found to be but the torcshadow of reality. The opinion is hourly gaining ground, that, as soon as Congress has sepa- rated, three of the Cabinet will be induced to resign their places, and their room occu- pied by gentlemen of the opposite party Mir. Forward, it is said, was not even consul ted by the President, relative to his last veto -a and a slight so great, if it indeed be true, no man of the smallest particle of self respect, would be willing to submit to. MT. Spencer is the intimate and close friend of Mir. Forward-and their fate will not be se- parate. The Secretary of State will remain, IL 10 SSl IoAIIy IO UO AopouS uutlA llC AolCISu negotiations are closed when, if he ever expects to find any further countenance or support from the Whig party, he will shake off the dust of his shoes against his present associates, who now only tolerate his pre- scnce, because their puny fingers are unable to grasp his mighty trident. and quiet the agitated waters of foreign diplomacy When, through his magic powers, a calm of peaceful repose has been brought down upon the now troubled deep, his presence at the helm will be deemed no longer necessa- ry, and he will be gladly permitted to retire.

NoTES ON THE CENsUS.-We find the
following interesting calculations and notes
on the recent census Of the United States,
in late Cincinnati paper. 1t is stated that
there occurs, between Is and 25, one death
in oil; between 25 and 35, one death in
43; between 35 and As, one death in 76;
between 45 and So, one death in sd; be-
tween 50 and, IS one death in 81; between
65 and IS one death in 10; between IS
and So, one death in 1875, between IS and
95 one death in 112; between 95 and los,
one death in 116.
The above shows a less proportion of
deaths between Is and 25, in proportion
to those between and Is than the bills Of
mortality generally show.
From the age of 80, the proportional
number Of deaths continually increase, un-
Ill at the age Of 100 but few remain. The
last census shows 759 persons above the
age Of 100. Notwithstanding the great
number Of those who die young, yet more
than two hundred thousand white persons
in the United States are past the age Of
seventy.
The laws Of life and mortality between
the sexes are very remarkable. They
may be stated thus:
l. In the present condition Of The white
population Of the United States, the num-
Der of females born, per annum are
abou, twelve thousand, less than the
males. The determines Of itself that poly
gamy is not natural condition Of man;
and that The laws Of nature and religion
ba holI tho
husband of one woman.
2. At twenty years Of age, the females
exceed the males. This proves that be-
tween birth and twenty the mortality among
boys has been much greater than that
among the girls.
3. From twenty to forty, the men again
much exceed the women, which shows
that this is the period Of greatest mortality
among women.
4. From forty to seventy the difference
rapidly dminshes-lhe females, as in the
early part o.! life, gaining on the males.
This shows that this Is the period Of the
greatest danger and exposure TO men-the
least TO women.
5. From seventy EDWARDS, the women
oulnumber the men. This shows conclu-
siveIy, that, relatively speaking in COM
parson with men, the heathiest period of
female life is the close Of it, Absolutely
however no period to either sex is SO heal
thy as that of yonth-the blooming period
of boyhood and girhood.
The above deductions Of statistical ia
bles correspond with everyday observa-
tons on human life.
Women are exposed to peculiar hazards
in the middle Of life; but, in the long run,
faI the largest part of exposure, danger
and risk, in civilized nations, fall on men
in the active periods Of life.
