ING illustration of professional wit:
When John Van Buren, had concluded
his argument i'll the Supreme Court at
Washington, last month, i'll the case in
volving the constitutionahty of the law of
this State taxing emigrants, he took oc-
casion to address Chief Justice Tanev,
off the bench, upon the importance of an
eally decision. Il should not have pre-
sumed, your honor," said John, "to speak
upon this matter, but for the great cour-
tesey and kindness that | have received
from the whole bench, whenever [ have
had the honor to appear before the Court.
The truth is, sir, speedy determination
of the question is desirable in every point
of view but especially with the poor
devils who are now at Quarantine. The
cholera is raging among them to fear
full mortality, and it would be a consola-
ton to their friends to know that they
