SENATOR FOOTE.

About year ago, we scarcely conceived it pos
sibe that we should ever be found awarding COM
mendation to the public course of Mr.. Foote, of
Mississippi With every prepossesson against
him, our bad opinion of his course as Senator,
was reduced to disgust by witnessing his most ex-
traordnary conduct during the memorable last
night of the last Congress No schooboy, en-
ga ged in the famous trick of barring out" was
ever guilty of worse behaviour. The reporters
could no more have placed his sayings and doings
on record, than Mr.. Whitehurst or Mr.. Pratt could
dancing monkey, in the midst of
his gyrations. He seemed to leave nothing, that
was unbecoming Senator, undone or unsaid.-
And, in his proceedings that night, the dignity of
the American Senate was more lowered than it had
ever been in all its previous sessions
But, although Mr.. Foote has committed errors
innumerable, we must confess that, during the
present session, he has borne himself in such
MANNER that we find all our repugnance to him
entirely vanished From an early day after Con-
gress commenced its deliberations, he has striven
with great manliness to effect satisfactory ad.
justment of the sectional difficulty. He is emit

Committee of Thirteen. Through all the stages
of the debate, he has, whilst seduleusly sustaining
the interests of the South, ably and adrotly advo-
Gated the cause of pacification. We freely no.
nour him for his patriotic efforts. And whether
they succeed or fail, he will be entitled to the
praise of having deserved we'll of his country.
The remarks of Mr.. Foote, which we copy in
another column, are directed to the issue which
has been raised by his colleague, Col. Jefferson
Davis, and Mr.. Yulee, of Florida, who wish to OBJ
tain, in any Compromise that may be adopted,
positive interposition of Congressional authority
for the protection of slavery in Utah and New
Mexico. In our judgment, Mr.. Foote gives
conclusive answer to their objections. Mr.. Yuee
made lame attempt to rally, after the "Southern
Address, which he signed, was quoted against
him, but his reply was only remarkable for de-

BRANDRETHs PILLS, AND THE BoDY,s

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODYS
WASTE.-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth of the Brandrethan SYSTEM would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the ram-
hcatons of the system, not only imparts strength and
contnuates fe but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine If the
blood therefore is pure and healthy, the body which is
formed and supported by the blood be diseased
But there be in any part OF the body any affection such
as bile or ulcer, bruise, the blood circulating
through that part takes impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system. This
Is the cause often OF sudden death persons of full hab
1t, afflicted with biles, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the hne blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality and life if bereft by lightning. Now
this can be remeded-the Brandreth Pills will if used
at these times, take all impure matters from the cir
cuiatlon and save the general health at the same time,
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is to now find that this snbiect
be well comprehended, it would save MANY from tedi
times of Sickness and often secure their services
their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.

THE GALPHIN CASE.

Candid and generous men will generally come
to the conclusion, after reading the majority and
minority reports on the Galphin claim affair, that
Mr.. Crawford was not Intentionally guilty of i'm
proper conduct, in acting as agent for the claim
whilst he was a member of the Cabinet. Mr..
Burts statement of the facts is satisfactory to us
on this point, nor can we entertain doubt that
Messrs. Meredith and Johnson were perfectly
ignorant of Mr. Crawford's connection with the
claim. But the receipt of a fee of ninety odd
thousand dollars for the prosecution of claim
against the government whilst he was an impor-
nately ugly look, and Mr.. Crawford ought to have
regarded the welfare of his party enough to de-
cline taking the office of Secretary of War, so
long as he was determined to retain his enor-
nous interest in this claim. Whilst we acquit
him of any blame touching his personal honour,
we are indignant that he should not have foreseen
the danger of exposing the administration to the
cutlery of an opposition not disposed to construe
its acts leniently. Mr.. Crawfords reference of
the question of propriety to the President, and the
silence he observed towards the Attorney General
and the Secretary of the Treasury, prove that he
did not mean to act dishonorably but it is a bad
precedent for members of the Cabinet to become
solicitors in their own behalf before their offica
associates The country will regard the transact
ton in this light, and we apprehend that Mr.
Crawford will scarcely receive just, much less
kind, arbitrament from public opinion.

THE CUBA EXPEDITION.

The National Intelligencer has given credit to
the accuracy of the following statements by the cor
respondent of the Philadelphia North American /:
Intelligence OF active movements was received here
some time ago, but with sufficient reason to believe
that they aimed in different direction. The te-
legraph and mail contradict this belief The govern
ment assured only from private advices but
through the Spanish mister, that 5000 men embarked
from New Orleans the 9TH and 9Th of the present
month, without any fixed destination. They had no
arms or ammunition but were provided with general
passports Their rendezvous fixed by some at Chagres
by others the island Of Lobos 1t is remarkable that
no satisfactory information has been received from the
authorities at New Orleans. The expectation OF such
movement had previously excited apprehension at Ha-
vana, and it well ascertaned that the for seven
eight hundred miles, was Immediately guarded One
Gen. Lopez and a second General Gonzales (of mixed
COLOR are the leaders.
We may allude properly, in this connection, to
certain rumours concerning the mission of Count
Mrasol, whose arrival at Havana has already been
announced, The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times wrote, some time since, in one of his
letters, that the Count was charged with authori-
ty to sell the island of Cuba to the United States
should he find that public opinion desired that
measure. Ell Heroldo, of Madrid, of the 4th
April, formally denied that there was any truth in
this statement, and affirmed that the Spanish Co
vernment had neither the wish nor the power to
part with any OF its dominions. The New Or
leans Bee, OF the 18th inst, on i s French side,
processes its incredulity of the Heraldos decara-
ton, and regards it as quite possible that Count
Mirasol may have received instructions to sell
Cuba, if he should be conviced that the chance of
