moral restraints, and who are ready to SET law
at defiance, provided il can be done proftably.
In the second place, by narrowing down the
money market, il puts the poor man at the mer-
cy Of the money-broker and extortioner, and
forces him TO pay an extra premium of insurance
against the possible loss of money and certain
loss OF character, inasmuch as the man who de-
liberatey and knowingly violates the law of the
land must forfeit the good opinion of the moral
portion OF the community. Here, then, is an
extra charge added to that of interest, be the lat
ter never so great, and money which, were
there no breach of law, might be procured by a
little increase of price, can only be had by pay
ing an addition for the insurance above named.
But this is not all. Every community that es-

subject here treated does not come within our
ordinary walk as editors, but we look upon il as
one OF vast importance TO the welfare of the
country at large, and have therefore, thought
proper TO add The weight of our opinion, be it
great or small, in placing money, as it should
be, on the same footing with every other salea-
bic community point of view in which we
feel convinced, it must be regarded at no distant

THE BUTTER AND CHEESE OF MAINE.

II is surprising to observe what variety OF
items enter into the aggregate amount OF ma
tional wealth and go to supply the wants of the
people, thus serving to swell the account Of gen
eral prosperity. In looking over the Portland
Advertiser we find an editorial article in which
il Is stated that there are no less than 5550,7 2s
lbs. OF butter, and 76740 lbs of cheese made in
the State of Maine, annually, the money value
Of which, although immensely great, is not in
cluded in the returns for taxable purposes. Ol
the above products, very small portion is ex-
ported, the residue being consumed within the
State, and thus going to swell the sum of hui
man comfort Our country is rich in a com
mercial and manufacturing point Of view, and
in the productions that are sent abroad for the
use Of other nations but II is infinitely ri,h her
in the plenty il affords Of which no account is
taken.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
PEOPLE

In continuing our remarks upon the defences
o. the country, it becomes our duty after the
very brief, and we fear inadequate notice taken
Of the measures proposed by the Depart.
ment Of War, 10 turn to the branch Of the
public service which has particular reference lo
oar maritime protection. II may be proper for
Us 10 say, in passing, that the necessarily brief
character Of these notices precludes US, for the
present, from paying particular attention TO
separate matters of detail which, however illus
tratve they may be Of the vigilance and &C tivity
Of the Executive Departments, would embarrass
u IN our general views. OF these matters we
shall hereafter speak, and endeavor to give to
them respectively the consideration to which
their Importance entities them. Measures, and
NOT men, being the subjects of our observations,
we have studously avoided every thing that
might be construed into personal eulogy, con-
hnlng ourselves strictly to the policy advocated
BY the Administration, and the fidelity and eff
cacy with which that policy has been carried
out, so far as means have been furnished for
the purpose. To say that the practical views
Of the Secretary of the Navy with reference to
the national defences coming within his particu-
lar province, are such as to ensure the hearty
commendation and concurrence of every true
hearted American, would be only 10 echo public
opinion as expressed at the time Of their publ
cation; but it is to the enlightened philosophy
with which he has strengthened and dignifed
those views that we would especially direct the
attention of the people. Finding his Depart
ment under peculiar circumstances Of depres
sion, and looking to experience for the sources
Of existing evils, the honorable Secretary has,
IA advocating thorough reform and great ex-
tension Of operations, looked to the great com
mercial, manufacturing AMI agricultural inte-
stess an outline worthy Of the nation, and it
now remains for that body to furnish the means
Of carrying its details into effect. Wisely look
ing TO the peculiar condition of our people in
The interior, and their liability to be assailed in
Their present deienceless condition by the
steamers of any foreign foe which might enter
our rivers, and pass with perfect mpunity far
into the heart OF the country, the Adrnnistra
uon proposes to employ such means of defence
as shall make the ocean the scene of any con.
test that may take place. To effect this, an
Enlargement Of our gallant navy is proposed
the increase to consist Of vessels Of the mailer
classes, such as frigates and sloops Of war, TO-
gether with steamers of moderate size ant
drausht of water, which during a time of peace
may be employed bcnefcially and even profita
bly, as packets, between our own and othe
countries but would be available in the event o
war for the purposes Of effective defer
In the construction Of these vessels reference il
wisely had to the encouragement Of our nationa
industry and to the consumption Of materal
which are the products of vi own country

THE APPROPRIATION BILL.

The House Of Representatives is proceeding
slowly but steadily with the disposition of the
Civil Appropriation bill The rapidity of its
protracted debate, which has arisen on the va
riously modified amendment offered BY Mr..
Davis. Whatever may be the industry exerted
by the House, some time must necessarily
elapse before all the items are examined and act
ed on. In the early part Of the session, an at
tempt was made, but without success, TO resist
the passage of the appropriation for the pay Of
the members Of Congress, on the supposition
that both Houses would act with more prompt
tude on the passage of other bllls--or, at least,
Of the Civil Appropriation bill, if their own pa
was kept back Though the motive was good,
not and do not believe it the most judicious
course for attaining the intended object.
The proper mode Of reaching it, we have al
ready suggested; and we beg to call the at
tenton of Congress again to the mode which
to our mind appears the best. II IS to com
mence the fiscal year on the first Of June or July
BY the adoption Of this PLAN the appropriations
will be always made in time for paying all those,
who provided for ia all the bills Of that cha
racter. 1t is the only plan by which the var-
Gus officers Of the Government can be secured
from the extorons Of brokers for several months
in year. As long as the fiscal year com
mences with the first of January, it is utterly
impossible that the bills can be matured in the
Committees, or acted on in the House in time
for meeting the debts of the Government when
due.
We have been induced to repeat these sug-
gestions by the complaints we hear made by
clerks, mechanics and laborers in public employ,
of the losses they are obliged TO incur by hav-
ing their checks shaved by the brokers' The
remedy for the evil, we think obvious, and we
trust the wisdom Of Congress will adopt either
the one we have mentioned, or at least some
one, which will prove equally efficient

fore the people of Rhode Island, one of which was
drafted by the Suffrage Convention so called, which
was self-constituted body, and the other by Con-
vention assembled with the sanction of the Legsla-
ture. The former was voted upon by the citizens
some time since, and majority found in its ia
vor. The whole proceeding, however was informal,
and therefore invalid. The legal Constitution, the
new draft is termed does not admit foreigners to vote
until they have been three years il the State, and have
acquired freehold estate. The Providence Journal
states that many who voted for the Constitution pro-
posed by the Suffrage Convention are satisfied with
the above provision Exceptin the of foreigners,

CONGRESS.

IN Saturday, in the House, Mr.. Tallaierro
rose 10 move a reconsideration, according TO
.,oyou, notice, of the vote taken last Wednes-
i.v fixing the hour OF meeting at IL o'clock, in
rad of twelve The reason for fixing the hour
10 o'clock still exists, and he never knew a
,bauqe made until the vernal equinox The
,bappe Of the hour al this time would but inter.
,s,e with the regular business Of the public,
which was transacted in the committees. He
Concluded by moving the previous question, but
withdrew the motion at The request of Mr.. Fill
more. who advocated the propriety Of appoint
mo an early hour Of meeting, adverting to the
hnIe business that had been done during three
months that had elapsed, and the immense
amount that remained TO be done. Mr. Barnard
was opposed to the motion Of Mr.. Fillmore an
early hour of Getting was invariably attended
BY an early hour of adjournment, and the only
eaec, of meeting at eleven o'clock would be an
oppression on those who were obliged and dis
posed to perform the public business Out of the
House, and in the committee rooms. The mo-
non for recon sderativn was carried by vote
Of 90 TO 80. After some conversation, and
other preliminary movements, Mr.. Taliaferro
amended the resolution Of Mr.. Fillmore by sub
shutting the first Monday Of April, instead Of
Monday next. In this form the resolution was
carried.
Mr.. Summers then called up The orders Of the
day for the morning hour--the report from the
Committee on Expenditures. The resolution
Of the committee, next In order, directed that
fifteen dollars should be allowed to each member
for stationery during the remainder of the pre-
sent session.
Mr.. Underwood, however, made his motion
10 reconsider the vote taken the preceding day
IN conformity with the notice he had given, and
aprotracted debate ensued, in two or three in
stances deyiating into partisan recrimination.
originating from remarks made concerning the
immense expenditure for wrapping paper in
cured during the last Congress, and the alleged
abuse of the ranking privilege at the same pc
rod.
Mr.. Underwood withdrew his motion, and
the resolution of the committee was adopted.
Mr.. Bovine, who had accused the reporters of
causing portion Of the extravaganza in the
use Of the stationery, proposed that they should
belarnished with the paper, &c. necessary for
them. But the amendment was pronounced out
Of order and objection was made to its recep-
lion.
Mr.. Snyder moved reduction in the pay and
mileage of Members Of Congress and Of the
salaries Of certain officers Of the House but his
proposition was ruled to be not in order.
With the debate adverted to above, and sue
cessive resolutions Of the committee, the bust
ness of the morning hour was continued long
beyond the period allotted to it.

SANDER was lately determined in the Supreme Court
of Ohio, which illustrates the necessity of women
holding their tongues and that iron rule of the law
which makes the husband responsible in damages for

years ago Mrs. Copeland charged Mrs. White with
stealing her geranium pot" and published the words

court, and obtained verdict for one thousand dol

them that he received ten thousand dollars by his
wife on his marriage. The defendant, by his coun-
