WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. Ia, 1874
GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

1t rejoices us to be able to say there is a very
great improvement perceptible in the language
and manners Of certain members of the House
of Representatives, who have Of late become
sknown 10 fame" and who had acquired no
very enviable amount of notoriety. As faithful
chroniclers and watchmen here al the capital,
having an eye upon the peoples servants, we
feel bound to notice the fact above stated in order
that proper justice may be done to the individu-
ais referred to- and in order that the press Of the
country-the whole universal press which has,
with some few dishonorable exceptions, animal
verted, with wholesome severity upon the dis
graceful scenes which lately transpired in the
Hall of the House of Representatives. be
aware Of the salutary effect Of their scorching
rebukes. For time we perceived sullen OBJ
stinacy in those who became the subjects OF the
castgation Of the press, which seemed to defy
its lashings, and to set at naugh its admonitions
but anon there was " melting mood"-the con-
centrated rays Of public scorn, collected into
focus by the press, like the rays Of the sun con-
centrated to focus by lens, became too hot
for suferance- land as the rays of the sun, thus
converged, can melt the hardest iron, so will
those of public opinion, collected by the pub
lie press, melt the most obstinate disposition.
Again: AS no man can stand and gaze upon
the MONDAY, unclouded sun, ono man can long,
unabashed, face the public gaze, when scorn and
contempt are expressed in its lowering look
The press has done its duty and done it effectu-
ally and it has taught lesson TO those who
seem to think that, BY being elected members Of
Congress, they are placed above its reach, and
no longer amenable to its censorship. They
have felt how fallacious is such notion, and
felt it TO their cost Let the press watch closely
such men in the Halls Of Congress where they
ought never to have been sent--and if it will but
speak at all times as il has lately spoken, we
shall not long witness such disgraceful scenes as
have of late turned the House Of Representatives
into an arena fot gladiators

AN IMPORTANT REVELATION.

Delazon Smith, Esq, Of Ohio, one of the most
eloquent Democrats OF the State, having been
accommodated by the Columbus branch of the
Jacobin Club for contumacy, has made the fol-
lowing revelation:
The Columbus Clique have arranged our poll
teal destlnies as people, as follows: Mr. Van
Buren, is to be reelected in 1874; r. H. Benton
IN lS4S, and reelected in 1852; VIM. Allen in
1856, and reelected in 1860 Almost every Gov
ernor, United States Senator and Member of Con-
gress, even Members of the General Assembly of
the States, and Judges of the Courts, are already
designated for the next trenty years Will these
men be wise in time, and give over their precon-
certed arrangements? If they do not, will the
democracy Of the State sustain them In any
event, our appeal shall be the self-governing and
most thinking people!
j. c.. McNuAy was the gentleman we heard
announced that very order of arrangement" in
your office last fall {! He, at the same time de-
clarlng that arrangement was just in ITSELF and
justly due to the principles of the party, and to
the great and growing West. He also expressed
great confidence in the perfection of the arrange
ment. He declared that Van Buren, was his first
choice for the Presidency in 1884, Buchanan his
second, johnson bis third, and Tyler his fourth !;
and that he would vote for Clay before Cass or
Calhoun, and assigned, at length, his reasons for
his preferences and objections. During this con-
versation, Medary and others were present
The above being denied by the State Jacobin
organ, MI. S. (who is the editor of the Miamian)
replies, in his next paper, as follows:
!" As respects the arrangement, in reference
to the nomination of Van Buren, and the continu-
ed succession, we will be qualified under pains
and penalties of perjury, that we heard that very
order of arrangement proclaimed in Meda,y's
oion office within the last three months, by one
Of the faithful, some half dozen being present"

Goblin organ, lNadisOniau.

The TARIFF.--Facts 10 be renembered.-The
People will remember
l. That Van Buren,, by his Virginia letter, has
declared himself opposed to the tariff both in prin-
ciple and detail.
2. Mr. Blacks resolutions to repeal the tariff,
t,Oo-thirds of the Locofoco party voted to repeal
the tariff, and Jorty-ninc lieths of the Wings in
its favor.
3. That upon Mr.. McDowel's resolution to the
same effect, two-thirds of the Locofoco voted
against Protection, and all the Wings save two
in its favor.
a. That upon Mr.. Stevenss amendment in our
State Legislature, providing that government shall
rely to defray its expenses solely upon duties from
imports the entire Locofoco party voted against
Protection, and the entire Wing or Democratic
party IN its favor.
5. That Mr.. Clay IN his views as to Protection
is sustained by Presidents Washington, LETTERS on,
Madison, Monroe, Adams, and Jackson.
6. That MIR. Van Buren,, in his views upon the
same subject, is sustained by himself and John
C. Calhoun on this Continent, and by Lord
Brougham and Sir Robert Peel ip Great Britain
7. That the L.ocofoco press at the South is uni
versally anti-Tarif-that the same press at the
North is either anti-Tarif or non commita in
The country, while in the sea board cities it is
dead against protecion-but that it is in no in
stance in favor OF paying the expenses of Gov

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE -A
RICH MINE.

We occasionally find something extremely
rich and rare in the letters from Washington de-
failing the "sayings and doings" at the great
capital of the country. We have lately struck
mine of this material which promises to be very
productive and rich, and we intend working it
diligently for our own and the especial benefit
OF our readers as long as it holds out. Whatever
it affords worth extracting more or less, our
readers may be assured shall be gathered with
due diligence, and fairly dealt out to them
1t is customary among miners, when they open
a new mine either of coal, iron, "copper" silver, or
gold, to designate it by some name by which it
shall thereafter be known. Now, names are ar
bitrary, and itmatters not what sort is chosen
for horse or mine, though there is something
in one when applied TO men, women, or children.
The most important thing, however, in selecting
a name is, to take one not already appropriated
to similar object or thing by somebody else, and
this rule we recommend to all settlers of new
countries, cautioning them not to apply the names
of towns already in existence to new ones just
coming into being. Now. as we do not know
that the name of Briarius has ever been applied
either TO horse, town, mine, or man, we pro-
pose to give that to our new mine, and to label
our precious gatherings as Elegant Extracts
from Brarius." In doing this we hope no one
will conceive himself personally alluded to, and
especially no member of Congress. Neither, we
hope, will any one put in claim to our gather
ings as his own we have title TO them by right
of discovery, and by the labor bestowed in dig
ging them out of the rubbish that surrounds and
cncumbers them. We shall not designate the
locality Of our rich vein, lest some one should

VALENTINES DAY.--This is the day set apart
by general consent for the interchange of bilets-
doux and passages Of hearts-not arms--between
all youthful lovers, and, this is leap year, we
suppose the ladies will be the foremost in the on
set Our venerable contemporary, Major Noah
thus discourses upon the return of Cupid's holt
day.
"Stationers, perpatetic men of letters, and
amateur poets, are busily employed in carrying
out the requirements of the Saint to whom this
great day and its doing are dedicated Cupid, the
blind God, we imagine has more right to this day
han any other 1t is the day of hearts, darts,
owes, doves, signs, and is profitable and beau
tiful festival time We like it. Love in some
form is the predominant passion of lfe--one must
love something, dog, cat, bird, or animal of
some kind, if not one Of his own species. 1t is
generally dear, delightful bewitchng woman. In
most cases, the women, who are subject to the
same passion bestow their best feelings upon those
OF the masculine gender. Nerve and brain are in
state OF great excitement now. Well let the
fermentation increase Let the Valentines cir
cuate and the blood run rapidly at their perusal
through the youthful veins of the Inhabitants of
this great country. 1t is a wonderful day and we
hope to enjoy it with the rest"
We have only to add that Valentines Of all
shades, colors, and embellishments, can be pro-
cured at G. Brooke's Periodical Agency, Penn

DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION.

Mr.. McDuffie's project for dissolution of the
Union and the formation OF three separate con-
tederacies, is rebuked, as it deserves to be, by
the Wing press; though the Locofoco press is
remarkably silent on the subject. Mr.. McDuffie
being distinguished member of the Locoioco
party, and connexion by marriage with Mr..
Van Buren,, probably induces the leaders of that
party to look with charity upon his reasonable
suggestions or designs. So strict is the party drill
among that g servile herd" that not even TREA-
SON itself, in one of their number, can induce
them to denounce the traitor.
MIR. McDuffie maintains that if the Union
were divided into three separate contederacles,
one in the Southwest, one in the Northwest, and
one in the Northeast; the South would export
$100,000,0O0 worth of products and obtain in re-
turn $120,O0O,0O0 of imports. A duty of 10 per
cent would give them revenue of sl2,00O,0OO
In this way he thinks they could live with some
comfort.
Now allowing this statement to be correct
what, let us inquire, is the South to do with this
$3.50, 100000 OF imports-or allowing $2O,000,-
900 to foreigners for the profits Of the carrying
trade-with this $1O0,OOO,0O0 ofimports? The
South is not large consumer of Injuries. Her
slaves and poor whites require little but coarse
cottons and woolens, and the cheapest description
of groceries; while the number of her people
who are in good circumstances is very small in
deed in proportion to the mass. The amount
which MIR. McDuffe expects the South to con-
sumo, is one-sixth Of the whole amount con-
sumed in Great Britain, whose population is
800 ,O0O-four times the population Of the
whole South.
1t has always been the fashion with certain
class of Southern politicians, John Randolph
among the number, to decry the Union as bene-
fetal only to the North. The South if they are
to believed, is far worse off under the Constitu-
ton than she was under the colonial system.
Was the judgment of these men equal to their
imagination, they would look elsewhere than to
the Union for the cause of their dilapidation.
The people of the South have with few excep-
tons neglected the great precept Of the Creator
that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow-and have suffered accordingly. II
they will not ,corh, how can they expect to eat?

1t becomes our painful duty to record one Of the
the most bloody tragedies with which the news

difficulty occurred at grocery store belonging
to James Il. Long, situate on the road side about
halfway between this place and Auraria, in
which Mr. Long, Peter TrammelI, James Hell
ton, and Laudawick Dobbs were engaged, and
which resulted in the stabbing Of the three lat
ter by the former, and the death of Dobbs, which
ensued the following evening. The other two,
Trammel and Heton, are Still alive, and it is
supposed will recover under proper treatment and
attention.
