WORSE THAN PIPE-LAYING

In the recent election in New York city, there
were some fresh Developments Of ocoioco mau-
ngement in elections. The Tribune publishes af-
fdnvts to the fact that large number of crimi-
nnls were taken from the penitentiary on Black
wells island TO the city, to vote the locofoco ticket,
with promise that they should be pardoned Tor
their crimes and released from punishment for so
so doing! Another trick was this. n handful
was sent into the houses of Roman Catholics, on
the night preceding the election, pledging the sup
port of the iocos to the Catholic party on the
School Question, (lhe Catholic party demand a
share of the school money to support Roman
Catholic schoos,) on condition that they THE
Cath ocs) would vote the locofoco ticket And
finally, the locos have withheld the certificate of
election to some of the Wings who were duly @.
leced. 1t is doubtful whether this last trick will
succeed.

.Messrs. Clay and Calhoun. The retirement Of
Mr.. Clay from public life has touched a sympa.
theIc chord in tho pubic breast. The scene in
the Senate is presented one of exquisite feeling
and deep grief. The Washington correspondent
OF the United States Gazette rcnles the following
generous but gratifying incident:
An anecdole is told of the meeting of Mr.. Clay
and Mr.. Calhoun Blier the former retired from the
Senate, which shows that political strife though
may for while deaden the finer feelings OF the
heart, cannot destroy them, especially in those
hearts that beat with generous and mauly sensi-
blites As Mr. Clay was passing towards the
door to leave The Senate Chamber, Mr. Calhoun
met him--tbey had not spoken to each other for
five years; hui they simultaneously extended
their hands and rushed 10 each others arms /; nei-
tber spoke, but both wept. Al length Mr. Clay
snId an parting, "give my hest regards TO Mrs.
Calhoun" How much more noble WAS this rec
oncilIaon, and parting than if they had separa-
ted looking defiance at each other! They bud al
spent their lives in Congress, and had sio cd
shoulder To shoulder, animated by pail iolisn and
enulous only Of serving their country. Time
had passed over both, and The young had become
old. One was about TO retire. aud both must, ere
long, sleep Ines leep that hath no waking" The
retirement OF the one would leave the other with
no company or rival Of his younger days, and il
told him emphalicay that he too, must soon follow.
Thoughts like these soften the heart not wholly
iuduraed, and cause the fountain Of generous
feeling 10 gush foril-it came, and tile two dsiin-
guished rivals and antagonists under the influence
of these sympa:hies were drawn together. Would
that they had never been separated.

Affecting deaih.--A very affecting and heart
rending occurrence happened at Lowell in Or
leans County on the night OF the 9Th inst. MIR.
Jonathan Stewart aged ffty-hree, had occasion to
20 10 lrasburgh, the distance Of about 10 miles
from Lowell. His way led over a ridge of the
Green Mountains where the snow was nearly two
fee, deep, and where but very little travel had
been the past winter and that only by loot passen-
gers Mr.. Stewart left the village in Lowell about
twelve o'clock nj noon, and purposed to return the
same evening. As il was known that the travel
ling was bad and that MIR. Stewards health WINS
rather slender and being quite stormy afternoon
ard evening, it was not thought strange by his
friends that he did not return. The next day as
L. II. Brown, of Eden was passing the same road
he found Mr.. Stewart lifeless corpse about five
miles from Lowell and about two and half miles
from the nearest house. On examination il az.
peared that Mr.. Stewart had struggled hard to ar
rive at place Of safety, for about half mile lis
had fallen very frequently in the snow which was
soft, it being thawy; he had alternately walked
aud crawed on his hands and knees. and for tho
last half mile had crawled altogether; and for "a
number OF feet where he was found he had appa-
reniy urged his way homeward by rolling.
Mr.. Stewart was a member Of the Methodist
episcopal church and worthy citizen, and has left
wife and four children.-Whig

Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.

GALENA, Ill. March %, 1912.
You are probably aware that Vineyard, the foul
murderer of Arndt in the Legislative Council of
Wisconsin, has been baed by ChiefJus,ic Dame
in the sum Of ten thousand dollars, and is now
roaming at large. This result was expected by
those who know Dame, though the excitement a
gainst him in the middle aud eastern portions of
the territory is very great. The Madison Enqui-
rer, Loco Foco, aud of the same politics Messrs
Vineyard and Dame, comments with severity on
the unprecedented course of the Judge, and says
tina, Vineyard will not slpnd his trial nor the bail
be paid. 1 understand tina, the friends of Arnd,
and others, DESTROYS OF vindicaiing the insulted
majesty Of the laws, intend 10 employ Gen. James
Wilson, surveyor General OF Iowa, whose eo-
quence and power are well known at the Fusi, 10

Mr.. Bolts being entitled to the floor, referred to
the charge that MIR. a. has made against the PEG
pie Of the South, that they desired to annex Tex
as TO the United States in order to revive the AT
rcan Slave Trade, and repealed the charge with
great force, and called upon every member to cor
rect him if he did not speak the sentiment of eve
~ Southerner.
Mr.. Bolts, in the course Of his remarks, said he
would offer compromise to Mr.. Slade and Mr..
Adams,-who were so much opposed to the an
nexaon Of Texas. Let the North give up her
abolition Societies and movements, and we of the
South will give up our scheme Of annexing Texas
to The Union. Aut il the North maintained her
course Of annoyance and menace towards the
South, the Southern people must from princ-
pie Of efpreservation, obtain Texas fthey could
They must strengthen themselves wherever they
could.
A0er brief, but able speech Of Mr.. Bots in re-
ply to the elaborate and interesting argument Of
Mr. Adams on the Mexican Mission, the Appro-
priation bill was taken out of Committee and tho
most of the amendments were concurrcd in.
In The House very important amendment was
introduced by Mr. Bolts and carried Ivy which the
Executive Printing hereafter will be given Ivy con-
tract TO the lowest bidder. The adoption Of this
measure will afford an opportunity Tor the craft
nj large to participate in the Jobs of the Depart
menls and have tendency to diminish the n
mount of the Presidents patronage.

The Boundary Question. The Portland Argus
of Monday evening contains the following:
II is now pretty generally understood in ,his
quarter that Mr.. Webster has written to Gov. Fnir-
field, requesting him to call forthwith an extra
session Of the Legislature, for the purpose of mp
pointing commissioners 10 treat with Lord Ash
burton and the General Government on the North
eastern Boundary Question 1t is also undersiood
that Gov Davis, of Mass, has been written to on
the subject, and for the purpose. lf the Leg.
isolnre of this State should be convened for the
single obiec, Of taking preliminary Steps in the
settlement Of this pelplexing question, we hope
that party considerations will not he allowed in
the remolest degree, to minge in its deliberations
Ii is no party question. Ii involves party prnci-
piles. II is purely natural in its origin and must
be terminated by the nation, either peaceahly or
by resort to arms There is no doubt that our
claims are founded in justice and on that account
we have less occasion to threaten an appeal TO the
sword. Every possible effort should be exhaus-
ted TO obtain JUSTICE before we talk Of war. Eve
ry true patriot, TO whatever party he may chancs
TO belong, should be ready TO aid both the Gener-
al Government and the Government of Maine, in
all honorable efforts to bring this great question to
boodless issue.
The above is confirmed OF course i, follows
tha, Lord Ashhurton is empowered to settle the
boundary question.
