~The New York Tribune says Mr..
Polk is revolving in his mind, it is said,
with what kind of punishment he shall visit
Mr.. Trist on his return from his mission.-
He at first doubted whether to punish or
reward him. He doubts no longer. Tris,'s
testimony in the Court Of Inquiry the
President considers personal insult. 1t is
certain, iris, used him with ungoved
hands. But how to punish the man and
adopt his successful negotiation! Howev-
er much Tris,'s conduct may have wounded
the amour propre Of the President, has it
done injury to the country "Ay, there's
the rub"
The old unwri,ten law of the Castillian
Monarch permitted no subject to express q
doubt Of the word once passed by the
King or Queen. Now as Gen. Cass, and
the locofocos after him, give the President
jurisdiction in Mexico no less ample than
such as before enjoyed by King or Impera-
tor, why cannot he punish Trist, who has
been guilty of more than expressed doubt
of the Royal word, according to his will
and pleasurel If he can eject him forcibly
from Mexico, as he claims he can and does,
why cannot he incarcerate or aagellate him
there7
Anyhow, his Excellency is perplexed,
and meditates strange things. "Oh, Tristi
damnati loco," says Lucan in his Pharsalia,
which is freely translated by the Polk CON-
mentator here. "Oh. Trist, you - loco"

Claiming no antiquity of origin, but the
offspring of the virtue, and intelligence
of the nineteenth century, has in a few
months, by strict adherence to the princi-

Mr.. ED1roR:-A short time ago made
a visit to the newly erected Asylum. By
the polite Superintendent, Mr.. Crum, was
shown the several rooms in the building,
and furnished with an outline Of the his
tories Of the several inmates. The Asy-
lum is beautifully situated on a gentle ele-
walton near the National Road. about one
mile west of Centreville, and cost the
county $500. The contractor, Jason

main building is forty-feet square. two sto-

the east three stories, including basement,
which is appropriated for kitchen, wash

wing comprises one room, and has been
set apart as a chapel or place of public
worship for the paupers. The whole build

benefit of the poor. The county has,
however. recently sold the late poor house

will reduce investments for this purpose to
$500.
The number Of paupers at the present

Four of these are colored persons, and
three of this number are insane and very
old. The remainder of the paupers are
whites, and of these ten are more or less
