CONGRESS-THE TARIFF AND
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 10, ASH.

Congress has not as yet reached any
question Of general interest, and conse-
qucntly its action thus far has produced
but little, if any excitement throughout
the country. This. however, has caused
but small disappointment. as but little
was expected Of this Congress, during
the present session, more than to chatter
a while on few unimportant Cor gener-
ally uninteresting) matters-make few
flaming speeches for 'Bunkam'-pass the
necessary appropriation bills-perhaps
modify the Postage Bill-toke their eigth
dollars per day, and adjourn. Indeed,
We think that if the present Congress as
now constituted will content itself by
restraining its action to these limits. the
PEOPLE generally will he satisfied AS far
more fears may be apprehended for what
they may do, fian what they may neg
iect to do. II is true that many Of our
more ardent Abolition friends are anxious
to see the enorInities Of the obnoxious
fugitive slave law again held up in that
body, and an attempt made to repeal Oh
modify the same. Such q course Of &C.

opinion, prove as imlolitic as it most cer'
t'iniy would improbable. This may b

Ingenious Theft.

The late adroit robbery at DR.. Mays house
in this city, has suggested the translation o.
the following from late French paper. Had
our thief the same advantages, we doubt mo-
he would prove as accomplished rogue as il
here described:
M. Ernest Giraud, scene-painter, after as.
sisting at the representation of piece called
lie Palais de CRYSTAL, at the Porte-Sainte- Martin
theatre, in Paris, was returning home alone on
foot, when, at the moment of leaving Pont Neut
to enter another street, he found himself sud-
denly confronted by two individuals, who, plac-
ing themselves before him on the sidewalk, ex-
claimed, "Turn out, aristocrat, the street is
good enough for you" M. Giraud, without
replying, continued on his way /; but they fol.
lowed on, insulting him. Presently, however
a gentleman coming up and threatening them
with his cane, they fed. Addressing the pain
ter, the stranger politely said: al am happy,
sir, to have relieved you of these beggarly per-
sons In passing, l heard their abuse, and
ostensibly as o patrole. am the more graft
fed, since my intervention has been of service"
The artistic returned his warm thanks for the
kindness rendered, and walking the same way
they joined in conversation. Pleased with the
elegance of language and good manners Of one
to whom he felt that he was indebted, M. Gil
raud expressed the wish to become better ac-
quainted with him and when, having arrived
at the head of the street, the stranger took
leave of him, he invited him to call without
ceremony, and breakfast with him the next
day, at the same time giving him his address
This invitation was accepted, and the two new
friends parted with cordial shake of the hand
The next day, toward ten o'clock, M. Giraud
| received, by messenger, the following note
my Dear Sir To my great regret, find
it impossible to join you at breakfast to-day.
pressing engagement will detain me at least
until ten o'clock, but shall have the honor Of

vice upon the merits of the works which have
been offered to him. This evening, then.

raud took cigar, and commenced smoking
while engaged in conversation with his vister.
Hardly had he burned a third part of it when
he was attacked with violent headache
From that moment he was ignorant Of what
passed until about midnight, when he awoke,
finding himself lying upon couch IN his study.
