How Printers are Cheated.

The New Hampshire State Patriot says
that it has 1900 subscribers, and thinks il
has the best paying list Of any political
paper in this country, yet 700 owe for three
years; 400 for five years, and 1000 for
one year. making the aggregate due Mo
office. $4,000 tor their paper. time and
labor. This is the fashion with which
printers are cheated. The National In
telligencer is said to have over S4OO. 900
due that concern from its subscribers. 4
shows how many fortunes are feeced out
Of the professional Boston Times.
Publishers who allow their paper to 90
on, of the office wi,hou, the leash in ad.
vance, look upon hose who receive them
as "patrons." and must only expect pay
from those who think they receive tho
worth Of their money or have charity
enough in their composition to pay them.
The "cash system is the only mode Of
conducting business that enables the pub
Usher to give the subscriber more than the
value Of his money, and secures him from
being feeced by ''patrons."

New Mexico was known to be disputed
and it was equally well known that tn
Executive Government Of the Cntet
States had no power to settle that dispute
1t is believed that the Executive powe
has not wi>hed-it certainly does no
now wish-to interfere with that question
in any manner whatever, as question o
title.
In one of his last communications te
Congress, that of the l7th of June last
the late President repeated the declara
;ion tina, he had no power TO decide the
question of boundary. and no desire ,o
interfere with it; and that the authority to
settle that question resided elsewhere.-
The object of the Executive Government
has been. as believe. aud as | am au.
thorlzed 10 say il certainly now is. to Sc
cure the peace of the country: to main
tain as far practicable the state OF
things as it existed at the date of the trea
": and 10 uphold and preserve the rights
OF the respective parties as they were un-
der the solemn guarantee Of the treaty,
until the highly interesting question OF
boundary should be finally settled by
competent authority. This treaty. which
is now a supreme law of the land. de-
clares. as before stated. that the inhabi-
tants shall be maintained and protected
in the free enjoyment of their liberty and
property. and secured in the free exercise
of their religion. 1t will. of course. be
the Presidents duty to see that this law
is sustained. and the protection which i,
guarantees made etfectual-and this is
the plain and open path of Executive du-
ty IN which he proposes to tread.
Other transactions of very grave
character are alluded to, and recited in
your eXcellency's letter. To those trans
actions. | am now directed not more par
tlculary to advert. because the only uues.
tlons propounded by you respect the au-
thority under which Colonel Monroe act
ed and the approval or disapproval OF his
proclamation. Your excellency's COM
municatoE and the answer will be imme-
diately laid before Congress. and the
President will take that occasion to bring
to its notice the transactions alluded to
above.
1t Is known TO your excellencv. that
the questions growing out of the acqui-
siuon OF California and New Mexico. and
among them the highly important one of
the boundary Of Texas, have steadily en-
gagged the attention Of both Houses of
Congress for many months. and still en-
gage II. with intense interest 1t is un-
derstood that the Legislature Of Texas
will be shortly in session. and will have
the boundary question also before it. Ii

Singular Vegetable l,hemomc,

singular vegetable HhenOmc0lOm.
The following account Of a singular.
and, perhaps. important. vegetable pheno.
menon, is taken from the Knoxville Crenn.
Register:
About this time last year the cane upon
several islands in the rivers Of East Ten
nessee was discovered to be producing
snn all c-ain., which very .nuv,, .o ,-u,oirI
rye. both as to size and shape. 1t grew
in heads and was covered with chaff, like
that Of wheat. The production was then
considered remark able. ard so unusual
that r. OF even ''the Oldest inhabtant" had
ever seen anything of the kind. The
conlectures respecting the cause Of the
appearance Of this unusual grain were
very numerous-many persons (and some
OF them skilled in botanic learning) sup.
pose that the cano had, by some means,
been inoculated with wheat.
This year we are told that the cane
throughout East Tennessee is bearing, in
almost incredible quantities, the same
grain. At some places it would not bo
difficult to collect as much as twenty-fv
or thirty bushels per acre. Some persons
owning cane lands have already gathered
large quantities of the grain, which they
find makes flour equal in appearance TO
that of wheat and equally as palatabls
when cooked in the form Of cakes. &c.
Hogs and fowls eat the grain il falls
from the cane. with the same greediness
that they devour any other small grain.
Another remarks able feature about the
matter IS, that SO soon as the grain begins
10 mature tho cane begins to die, and tho
indications now are that all the cane in
East Tennessee will die out this season.

Second Day Of Webster's 1Tiat,-The
court was crowded to excess. The jury was
sent to inspect the scene OF the supposed muir
der of Dr. Parkman. Upon their return, the
testimony was proceeded, Francis Mckay,
ity City Marshal testified TO the searches
made after Parkman, the discovery of the re-
mains, and the subsequent arrest ofProiessor
Webster. A number of witnesses testified
having seen Parkman enter the College after
noon on the 23d Nov. Mr.. Pratt, the Coro-
ner. called on Webster, who was much agl-
tated, and trembling all over, e1claimng,
"What will become of my POOR family."-
Webster accompanied them to the College;
bones and pieces ofmetal were found on the
furnace of Websters lower laboratory. He
was much excited when the discoveries were
made.
Mr. Stringer, Parkman's physician, testi-
fed to the defects in the remains found, which
correspondent with Parkman's person.
Frederick Ainsworth, demonstrator Of Anat-
omy IN the Medical College-all subjects
come through his hands, he keeps a record of
all anatomical materials. His attention was
called to tie remains and he was satisfied
they were never sent to the College for dis
section. Webster has ne connection with the
Anatomical Department. My impression is,
that the person who cut the remains had no
anatomical knowledge. He might have seen
a body cut up but never have used knife.
Third Day.--Webster's trial continues
with undated excitement. The Court yes
terday, Thursday, was engaged in hearing
several Doctors testimony. DR.. Keeps tes-
tilted to the teeth and jaw as Parkman's from
the popularity of their form.

An immense Union meeting was held here
to-day. Henry S. Geyer in the chair. A Sc
ries ofresolutions were PASSED, which set forth
that the South has ground for complaint Of
the North in not aiding in the capture of flu
gitive slaves as guaranteed in the Constitu-
ton, and that this law ought to be strictly en-
forced that the Wimot proviso was not ex-
pedient; that the conflicting interests of the
country should be harmonised, that the Nash
vile convention and all others of a like char
acter had a tendency to make existing diff
culties worse and that nothing had yet fran
espired serious enough to warrant the assem-
bling of such convention; and that the
Union of these States was formed in a spirit
of compromise and the same spirit should be
invoked in settling the present differences
The meeting was eloquently addressed by
Messrs. Bates, Uriel Wright, Thos Harvey,
and others.
There is much trouble here among the
Democrats in regard to the municipal nomi-
nations Benton and anti-Benton tickets have
been nomina ted, and they are about equally
divided.
