a GOOD THING

Our democrats very often do most ridiculous
and silly things, and sometimes the wing journals
give them very proper fillup for the same, as
the following good one from the ST. Louis New
Era, which, blythe by, barring its politics is edi-
ted with sterling ability. We do despise that
constitutional humbug, that is restricted to kind.
in the appropriations for internal improvements
our creed is simple and clearly understandable
General Government has no right to take public
property or collect money from the people, for
any internal improvement in the States whatever
Her business is to take care of the company's in
terests, and not descend into the domestic econo-
my of each member Of the company, which is
composed of the States, and she has no right to
appropriate any more money than what is abso-
luiely necessary to conduct that general bust
ness -
" One of the latest refnements of abstraction
lists is that it is horribly unconstitutional for
Congress TO appropriate money 10 make internal
Improvements, but that any quantity of land NAV
be thus appropriated without any violation of the
Constitution. Men must be hard run when they
resort to sneh silly distinctions to Justify their
conduct There is no clause in The Constitution
that warrants any appropriation of land, where
the appropriation of money is prohibited Public
meR had better adopt straight forward. above
board, candid course of action, without Tesor,ino
TO such sublerfuge."

OF their active only wish they would throw of
the political name they disgrace-we would
rather that our party should be reduced down to
the smallest minimum of honest men, than to
have our ranks filled with numbers, who. when
the hour of action comes, will desert and fire their
shot for the enemy, and then return to those they
have deceived and wounded, for provision and
ammunition

agreed that any country that may be claimed

HORRIBLE.

We find the following in the Police Report o
April IL, for the New York Herald -
most revolving affair is under investigation
at the Police Office in the Tombs, before that
gentlemanly magistrate, b. W.. Osborne. ESQ
The party accused is Mr.. Daniel Bartne,t. a
wealthy butcher, residing at No. 342 Bowery -
The details OF investigation are altogether too
disgusting for publication. 1t appears that the
son, Daniel ii. BARNETT, druggist, corner of ST
Mary's Place, prefers the complaint against the
father, and brings up two of his sisters, who tes
tity under oath to their fathers infamy, and his
lncestuous conduct towards them for the last ten
years past. One of the daughters, a Mrs. Jane
Ann Waddell, (who is the widow of Mr.. Wad-
dell, the painter, who kept store in the Bowerv
some time since,) she being now about 80 wears
OF age, and the mother of two children, testifies
to her fathers criminal intercourse with her some
years before her marriage; and upon the death Of
her husband she returned home, when her father
renewed his intercourse again. The Youngest
daughter, Almra BARNETT. who is now about
eighteen years of age, complains Of similar treat
ment. third daughter is brought into this
horrible affair, Mrs. Maria Louisa Aimes.
subpoena was issued yesterdy to bring this lady
mp To testify against her unnatural parent The
officer was unable TO find Mrs. Aimes, and was
Informed afterwards that she had left the citv
feeling determined never TO appear and testify 10
her fathers infamy and her own shame. There
is good deal of mystery hanging around the
whole of this business, and there is probably
something behind the curtain, that is vet TO come
TO light. The case really appears to be too horri
BILE to be true however, the cross examination of
Mrs. Waddell is still under investigation before
very correct and jndicions magistrate, and will
iake possibly several days yet, before any deci-
sion will be given. At present Mr. BARNETT is
held in custody by officers Hays and Stewart, as
was also the daughter. Mrs. Waddell, held in
custody in default of $1,000 bail. required by JUS
lice Osborne. TO procure her attendance as wit
ness to testify. The younger daughter was taken
quite nnweli in the afternoon, consequently she
was sent home in carriage for medical attend
ance. We shall give the result as soon as known.
