THE CASE OF GENERAL SHlELDs.-Atter
much contention and debate in the Sem
ate the case OF Gen. Shields, has at last
been disposed OF by the adoption of the
following resolution:
Resolced, That the election of James
Shields 10 be Senator of the United
States, was void, he not having been a
citizen of the United States the term of
years required as qualification to be a
Senator of the United States at the COM
mencement of the term for which he was
elected.
The course of the Senate IN this mat,
ter we should think, to use an expression
of Mr.. Wcbst er's, was Gas plain as turn
pike road" The Constitution provides
that foreigner must have been nine
wears naturalzed before he is eligible to
the office OF u S. Senator. Gen. Shields
had not been naturalized long enough,
yet grave Senators could dispute on the
subject we'll nigh week.

LoT's WiFE.-The exploring cxrcdil ion to
the Dead Sea, promised TO be fruitful Of discus
sion as TO the identity the Pillar of Salt, found
by our explorers, with that into which Lot S
wife changed for an act of disobedence.
Mr.. +. p. Montague has published Narrative
of the laie Expedition TO the Red Sea, in which
he notices this subject, and expresses the opn-
ion, "that Lots wife having fingered behind in
d,sobcdicncc to the express command of Cod
given in order to insure her safutv-that while
so lingering she became overwhelmed in the

dalton for this extraordinary column. If it has

o. a similar description. One is scarcely able to
aban den the idea that it stands here as lasting
memorial Of Gods Furnishing most deliberate
act of dlsobcdence, committed at time when
he was about 10 show distinguishing regard for
the very person.
Mr.. Montague states that the Pillar was mea-
snred and found to he sixty feet in height and
forty feet in circumference. Its isolated posi-
tion-and the fact that il is "oDe mass of crys-
tilization," /" show that it was either produced by
some extraordinary natural action of the ele-
menis-or that it is ofsupernatural origin. lis
immense SIZE precludcs the idea that it was for
med solely from the transformation ofIot's
wife; and we think that it will puzzle the philos
ophcrs 20 account for its existence. The Arabs
oflEc vicinity MAINTAIN that is ''the Pillar of
Salt in which Lots wife was encased at the over
throw ofS'oIom." Tfis is the tradition amongst
them, and has their entire belief, but it will not
be sufficient to satisfy more curious investigators.
