EXQUISITE IRONY.

POUerty,-As poverty is the lowest,
so it s the most impudent Of the whole
family OF vices. Pride is a geutIemOny

vanished cheek to the sun, walks a

Il rides in a coach and four; and in
hours Of penllenual casIigalion, bolts
itself in a pew Of besl upholstery, and
in fl Of humility, lasting at least a
couple Of hours, calls itself u miserable
sinner. Hence, pride al It's worst has
ls good graces. At oil events, it never
oG'ends that extraordinary abstraction,
pubic decencyi for though We hear
much about it, It is, nevertheless, some
times as difficult to discover as city
po iceman. No; pride, being a vice that
is well TO do in the world, may be called
respectable. Pride keeps barouche

The Ialc Wy. OSIe.

The following, from the Harrisbargh
Telegraph of November 10, will serve
for conclusive and final answer TO the
unhappy attempt, made in the GJObe OF
Thursday last, to bolster up the afro
cious and libellous assault upon the me
mory of the late Mr.. OgIe, and upon the
Wing Central Committee of 1910, in
regard 10 the we'll remsmbered Speech
OF the former:---Nat, Int
"ltis scarcely necessary to opronounce
the above the statement Of Mr.. Ogle
having renounced his speech q tissue
of tho moanest fesehoods, for Ihey bear
that impress upon their face. Besides,
every one who ever knew Mr.. OgIe, be
he political friend or Toe, will testify TO
his high moral integrity and indepen'
dence, and knows that he was incapable
of being used by any man or set Of men
for polIcaI or other base purpossS,-
We sincerely pity the wretch who pos
sesses The hyena, the vampire proPen-
sity, TO disturb tho ashes OF tho dead by
his filthy sIonders, which we feel called
upon to robuke.
AVE shall ever recolect that the last
lengthy conversation we enjoyed with
Mr.. OglO was on the night in which he
had tho fatal attack oil hemhOrrhage
from which no never recovered; and IN
the conversation OF that evening his
speech above referred to was a topic in
which we took additional interest, from
the circumstance that he informed us
how and BY whose assistance no had
managed to obtain the facts Of which it
was composed. 10 that conversation he
stated TO us that, with the exception oI
highly esteemed ex member Of Con
gress residing in the western part OF
this State, no one had any knowledge ol
his speech before he delivered it.
I've left Mr.. OgIe al his room thai
evening, about II o'clock, in apparent
good health and his usual fne spirits
and was very much surprised, as well al
alarmed, on calling on him the mex
morning to find that he had had uu at
tack Of hemorrhOge abou. Two hours af
ter we loft him.
"Durng his confinement we frequent
ly saw him. and until within few day
Of his death; in all that time he neveI
uttered a word on the subject Of hi
speech to intimate that the least misro'

Congress, our legislature,
&c.

On Monday next, Congress and our
State Legislature will meet in annual
session. The proceedings of these bo-
dies will, for time, at least, be looked
to, with usual interest. At the very
opening Of Congress, a grave ques'
ton will arise as TO the right 10 seats IN
the House, OF those persons who claim
10 have been elected members Of that
body, under the General Ticket sys-
TEN, instead OF The District system, as
required by law. How this question
will be settled it is not easy 10 conlec'
ture. But, if the persons so elected, are
permitted to take their seats IN the
House. (of which there seems to be a
probabiity) Congress will not only
surrender apower clearly VeoIe5 in It
by the Constitution, but will suffer it's
solemn enactment to be trodden under
loo, and contemned.
We shall endeavor to keep our read
ers ad vised OF results rather than de,
tails; but nothing Of importance, either
in the proceedings Of Congress. or in
those of the Ohio Legislature, will es.
cape the notice OF the Free Press
From Columbus, we shall receive the
Daily State journal, which, with the aid
Of correspondents who will be eye.wlt-
nesses 10 whatever may be done, will
enable US to spread before cur readers
10 good time all such Legislative news
as shall bs deemed Of special or general
interest. The Annual Messages Of the
President OF u States, and oil the Gov
ernor OF this State, will be given in ouT
paper as soon as practicable; but we
fear that neither Of those documents car
be received in time for the paper of next
week.

AN ALARMING CALCULATION.

Major Long, Of the United States To-
biographical Corps, whose attention has
lately been directed to The action Of the
water on the Illinois shore Of the Mis-
sisslppi, opposite tho mouth the Mis-
souri,, has informed the editor Of the ST..
Louis Era that the river has within the
the last year cut away about two hun
dred yards Of the bank, leaving only
about one thousand yards TO connect the
Mississippi with the low grounds of
Long Lake. There are, besides, several
raVOes which head nearer. and into
which the water passed last spring, and
by this channel to the Lake. The edi-
tor Of the Era remarks:
"Ii this destruction Of the bank should
continue for two or three years, it is
certain that so much OF the water Will
pass into the lake as 10 inundate the
whole American bottom, from its eXtre
nifty az the mouth TO Kaskaskia 1t

show that two hundred thousand acres
Of the richest land 10 the world will thus
