POINTS OF HONOR

The difficulty between Mr.. Duer of New
York and Mr.. Meade of Virginia who call
ed each other liars on the floor of Congress,
has been amicably arranged by their friends,
who have made report in which they say
that in effect Mr.. Duer did not intend to
stigmatize MIR. Meade as liar in the ab-
stract, and that MIR. Meade only imputed
the term "false" in connexion with certain
conditions, which were dependent IN their
nature on certain contingencies and that
the parties only used the offensive terms in
"Pickwickian" sense. This is our un-
derstanding of the report, which when
read was received with great applause. Il
any other than distinguished Honorable
members Of Congress had been the parties
the affair would have looked much like q
farce.

Government should be restrained from the

constitutional power to abolish it.
Messrs. Burt, Bayly, Harris, Of Tenn, STAN
ton, of Tenn, Hubbard, venable, MacMulln,
and Woodward made few remarks in SUBJ
stance that they had been deceived in word
by MIR. Brown.
There was considerable excitement in the
House during the proceedings. 1t should not
be omitted that Mr.. Brown declined being
considered a candidate for Speaker.

70 Having been absent nearly all week,
We have no room, if we even had an in
clination, to reply to the fustian of the
Gazette. The editor should recollect that
none are SO guilty as those who always
suspect the motives of others. Because he
is in the habit of compiling his editorials
from other papers, he should not take it for
granted that we do the same. We made
no reference to the typographical errors OF
the Gazette, of which there are a number
in the article alluded to, nor would We
have referred to these that are not typo
graphical, had the Gazette not presumed
to turn critic.

equally successful in his other contem.
plated improvement-the cash system fol
advertising.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.--The Supreme Court
Of Pennsylvania made, a few weeks since,
the following important decision under the
new law for protecting the rights Of married
women. 1. The guardianship Of females
under age is terminated by marriage, and the
husband before the act of 1s4s, relative TO
the rights of married women, might call on
the guardian TO settle his account, and pay
him the balance; but that act has worked a
radical change in the condition of married
women. 2. By the act Of is4s, married
woman must be considered as single, in re.
gard to any estate Of whatever name or sort
owned by her before marriage, or which
shall accrue to her during marriage, in any
way; and the husband is not entitled 10 the
possession Of his wife's funds. 8. The con.
sent of the wife that the husband shall have
her funds, being minor, is o. no avail.
