A New Mourn FOR THE MISSISSIPPI.
The people are thinking seriously of
opening Mouth for the Mississippi into
Lake Pontchartrain, back Of New Or
leans. 1t is believed that it would re-
lieve the river Of its floods, and prevent
any such terrible overflow as that of last
year. In commercial point of view
the project is commended. 1t would
open a direct communication with the
Gulf and Atlantic States, and render the
troublesome, tedious and expensive nav
igation of the Mississippi useless. No
person can look at the map without won
dering that this project has not been
thought of before. Had the mouth OF
the Mississippi been in the North, this
Improvement would have been made long
ago.

WAsHINGToN, March III

WASHINGTON, March III.
After the reading of the journal
Mr.. SiBLEY asked and obtained
leave to introduce joint resolution;
which was read twice, as follows:
Whereas it is represented that GER
tain bands of Sioux Indians, at or near
the sources Of the Minnesota or ST.

fering for want of food: therefore,

ed, under his direction, in the purchase
Of articles of food for said bands of In
dams, should the state of the facts, in
his opinion, make such purchase neces-
sary.
Mr.. S. moved the suspension of the

OtrRAGE.--We learn that on Sunday
last, man whose residence is near the
Hand street bridge, Allegheny, while
his own wife was at church, went into
the house of neighbor, and affecting
great excitement, said to married lady
"My wife has just died; will you come
ini" The lady, of course, ran in, and
went to the bed, which was curiously ar
ranged, so as TO deceive her. The man
followed and locked the door behind them.
The screams Of the woman were soon
heard by the neighbors, and when she
got away, she was seriously bruised and
scratched. The scoundrel did not sue
coed in his attempt. He fled before
hands could be laid upon him Pitts

~ The following extract from the
St. Louis Watchman, shows that they
too have had an unusually cold, back
ward spring:
son Sunday: the l4th inst, we had a
sno,o storm in St. Louis that would have
done full justice to the 49th degree Of
North Latitude. 1t commenced at 8 o.
clock, A. NJ, and continued until the
snow was 8 inches by measurement
On Monday it went with rush; follow
ed by cold, severe rain, just such as
they have in California, in mid-winter.
Peach blossoms were out last week; but
whether the fruit is killed, remains to be
ascertained.

From the Chicago Journal Of the 2nd.l
Prof. Webster Convicted and Sentenced
to be Hung.
Boston, Saturday, March 80.

BosToN, Saturday, March 80.
Mr.. Clifford, counsel for the Common
wealth, closed his eloquent argument at
o'clock, and Chief Justice Shaw re-
marked to the prisoner, that if he had
anything to say to the jury before he
charged them upon the case, he had lib
erty to do so.
The prisoner arose and addressed the
Jury in a few words. He commenced in
rather a composed manner, without d.
rectly addressing the Bench or Jury
He spoke rather ironically of his coun-
sci, and censured them for not bringing
up all the proof of his innocence that he
had placed in their hands.

PROFESSOR WEBsTER-PETITIoN OF
HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTERS FOR COM
MUTATION OF HIS SENrENcE.-We learn
that Mrs. Webster, wife of DR.. Web
ster, now under sentence of death, &C
companied by her three daughters,
called upon Gov. Briggs, at the Adams
House, at 10 O'Clock yesterday Sunday
morning, for the purpose of presenting a
petition for the communication of the pen
atty which now awaits their relative.
1t is fortunate, says the Atlas, for the
best interests Of society, that the Judi
cial and Executive departments Of the
government Of this Commonwealth, are
at present entrusted to those in whose
ability, firmness, and stainless integrity,
all classes and parties in the community
have the most perfect confidence. We
have no doubt that the case of DR..
Webster will receive all due attention
from the State Officers, and that the
same degree Of impartiality and up
rightness which have hitherto been ex-
ercised towards the prisoner, will con-
tinue to influence those who shall be
called to official action respecting his
situation.-[B Boston Trans, 9Th April.
"The same degree of impartiality and
uprightness which have hitherto been
exercised towards the prisoner" Well,
Bostonian editors can write very harsh
ideas in the smoothest words. If the
case of DR.. Webster receive the 'sAME
degree Of impartiality" from Governor
Briggs, that it did at the hands Of Mr.
Clifford and Chief Justice Shaw--then

age-I made my first entrance into the
House of Representatives in May 1913.
| there found Mr. Calhoun. He had
already been member of that body for
two or three years. l found him then
an active and efficient member of the
assembly to which he belonged, taking
decided part, and exercising decided
influence in all it's deliberations.
From that day to the day Of his death,
amidst all the strifes Of party and poll
tics, there has subsisted between us, al
ways, and without interruption, great
degree of personal kindness.
Differing widely on many great ques-
tons respecting our institutions and
government Of the country, those diff
ferences never interrupted our personal
and social Intercourse have been
present at most off the distinguished in
stances of the exhibition of his talents
in debate. have always heard him
with pleasure, often with much instruc-
ton, not unirequgntly with the highest
degree of admiration.
Mr.. Calhoun was calculated to be q
leader in whatsoever association Of po-
Iitical friends he was thrown. He was
a man of undoubted genins and com
handing talent. All the country and all
the world admit that. His mind was
both perceptive and vigorous. 1t was
clear, quick and strong.
Sir, the eloquence of Mr.. Calhoun, or
the manner of the exhibition of his SEN
timents in public bodies, was part Of his
intellectual character. II grew out of
the qualities of his mind. 1t was plain,

says it has private and reliable informa-
ton from Washington that a proposition
will soon be laid before Congress, for
running "a line of post coaches from In

stations. They ask the privilege of this
road for fifteen years. and agree to
make the franchise and grants Of land
contingent on having the roads in oper-
alton within three months. If this is
granted they will put 5000 laborers up
on it at once.

VIsIT OF Mrs. WEBSTER AND HER

VIsIT OF Mrs. WEBSTER AND HER
DAUGHTERS TO THE GovERNoR.--Mrs.
Webster and her three daughters called
upon Governor Briggs, at the Adams
House, on Sunday morning, probably to
urge a Communication Of the penalty OF
death now hanging over the unfortunate
husband and father. The interview was
not of much length.
We do not see why Gov. Briggs and
his Council should not commute DR..
Webster's sentence, after reading what
follows:
SENTENCE OF PEARSON COMMITTED
The Springfield Republic states that the
Governor and Council have commuted
the death sentence of d. II. Pearson,
recently convicted Of the murder of his
wife and two children, at Wilmington.
Mass, to Imprisonment for life.
P. S. Pearson's sentence has not
been committed, but his case has been
brought before the Gov. and Council
