AT RECENT MEETING OF THE FAEScu A.
cADEMy, one of the members read an interest
ing memoir of Bailly, the famous astronomer,
and a conspicuous personage in the French re-
voution. In the course of the memoir the au-
thor related the first interview of Bailly and
Franklin, as follows -
"The ilIastriocs delegate from Pennsylvania
entertained, on his arrival in France, the opin-
ioR that our countrymen love inordnately to
hear themssfvestplk, and would infinitely ra-
ther speak than listen. When the philosopher
and asi ,onomer met for the first time, the latter
kept silence, expecting question from the IL
lustrous stranger. r'rsnklin, on his side, did
not open his mouth. Al the end ofa half hour
neither having yet uttered anything, Ballly took
oct bis snufI.box and offered pinch to the O.
ther mute. Franklin motioncd that he did no
use snuff Another half hour elapsed IN TIE
same way, after which, Bally having risen Il
depart Franklin seized hshand, saying, "Ver!
well, Mr.. Bailly-very well, indeed :"

w ASHlNGIONi SpGll y, 1914.
Mr. Bayard called up a bill supplementary to
the act entitled can act to regulate the pay of
the Navy ofthe United States"
Mr. Evans, Of Ne, offered a resolution, which
under the rule lies over for one day, calling upon
the President of the United States to commune
cate if not incompatible with the public inter
est all correspondence between the British Co.
vrrnmcnt and the United States, upon the subject
Of the annexation of Texas.
THE information called for is probably des-
patch of Lord Aberdeen laid before the President
at the time Sin Richard Packcnham presented his
credentials of office This despatch will prove
officially to the American people that England
contemplates no political alliance with Texas,
and none whatever but one of trade and com.
mcrce
Mr. Bayard presented memorial from Ri
chard A. Gillet, Civil Engineer of Pennsy ylvania,
respecting a new plan for Dry Dock, which at
the same time that it will be permanent will su-
pcrscdc the expense Of piles,
/ The Cumberland Road bill was then taken mp
and the remainder OF the session given to its con-
| sideration

siderable length in an able speech in defence of
the bill The debate was also participated in by
| Mr. Ilannegan and Mr.. Jarnegn. The Senate
adjourned till Monday.

DY THE SPECIAL ELEcTioN-CAusEs OF ors |
DEFEAT.-The result of the late special election
for member of Congress, to supply the vacan-
cy occasioned by the death of Gen. Frick, has
greatly surprised all parties. The election
turned wholly upon the Tariff, and has, we pre-
sumo, convinced every rejecting and reasonable
man, in this district, of a fact for which we
have long contended that the whole country
is unanimous in favor ofthe present tarifond op.
posed to any measure calculated to disturb its
permancncy Mr.. Snyder having been opposed
10 SOME ofthe features of the present bill, when
il was before Congress, although he supported it
for want of, what he thought, better one; this
fact was seized upon by his opponents, and his
views misreprescntcd, although he emphaticaly
declared himself in favor ofthe tariffin several
letters upon that subject Many tarifidemocrats
(and they all so in this district remained at
home, under these circumstances Others again
thinking greater impulse would be given in fa-
vor of the tariff by electing Mr.. Pollock, were
induced to vote for him on that ground, But
what is more, and to which may be attributed
the frequent defeats we have sustained of late,
/
turn out to a man. AT the late election scarcely
single whig voter was left home who was able
to come to the polls, while hundreds Of the de-
mocrats remained at home undecided and indif
| ferent. How these causes will operate at the
next Presidential election does not require the
eye of prophet to forcscc. The people of Penn
! sylvana in favor of tariff, a protective
tariff and no man who is opposed to tariff or la
! bors under any suspicion of opposition to such a
measure, whether such impression is founded in
error or doubt, can expect TO obtain their votes.
! We have men in the democratic party, honest,
capable and popular, and who are in favor of a
tariff O. protection, and if the members of the
. Pa tmoro Convention should fail to select such
! a man after proper reflection and due considera
ton, in connection with recent events, the con-
sequences must rest where they assuredly will
OF their own shoulders.

Correspondence OF the Public Ledger.
WAsHryGroS, April, 8, ls4I.

What indicated in my last letter is becoming
more and more certain, Put IT down then as
fact to be called on, that Mr.. Calhoun will NOT
support the nomination of Mr.. Van. Buren, and
determine for yourself what consequences are
likely 10 follow the accession of his friends
Mark, write you no idle rumors, on dts, and
such stuff, but the things that | do know In a
week or so matters will assume shape for the
blow is TO be struck before the Virginia election.
The Texas question is making very consider
able progress, and the most sanguinc hopes are
entertained as to the annexation of the Republic
of the Lone Star TO the United States. If the
treaty is not confirmed by the Senate, it will be
by the skin of their teeth that the Northern Sen.
ators will prevent it.
| Mr.. Niles from Connecticut, is here He i.
the victim of the strongest halucinatons, to such
| an extent that he conceives himself already in
| future state The question, whether he is abl'
/ to hold his seat in the United States Senate, is
perplexing one. The Constitution of the Unite,
States gives to either House of Congress respec
lively the power TO determine the admissibility
and pronounce on the qualifications of its mem
bers. But the authority of Jefferson is now ci
ted in favor of the Legislature of the State tn
member comes from, TO decide whether he sha
hold his seat, and the mode to decide il in tn
negative is TO declare it vacant,
You will remember that several petitions hav
F been presented to Congress from the Dorr part
in Rhode Island, praying that the President
impeached for interposing the weight of his az
thority and power in the Rhode Island question
The Pra4ident has been applied to for instru
s ton, and John Tyler has prepared a message
e Congress, which is not only triumphant Wind
, cation of his own course, but will, in al! prob
h bility, settle the business for Governor Dorr,

A CLOVER SEED Speculation. Rochester
apcr states that a man committed in that
city, last week, TO await his trial for stealing in
quite a novel way. lie usually carried with him
a small tin cup Upon entering store where
clover seed is sold he would sit down near the
vessel containing the seed, and while pretending
to examine it, would fill his pockets with his cup.
The pockets were provided with hole so that
the seed would run into large space between
the skirt and lining. In this way he would ac-
cumulate quite a quantity, and then sell II.
