Mr. Ullman, Hungarian by birth, but a
resident of New York for number of years,
arrived here in the Empire City, in the capac
ty of managing agent of Il celebrated Singer.
A few days after his arrival, he was arrested.
on charge of being an emissary of kossnth.
A letter written in the Hungarian language,
dated from kutahin, was found among his pa.
pers, and this strengthened the belief of his
having merely assumed the character under
which he arrived for purposes best known to
himself. He has not been seen since, and it is
supposed that he is confined in the Moro until
sufficient proof of his innocence shall have
been furnished. He strongly denies having
had any connection with kossuth since his
arrival in America, having been absent from
New York during nearly the whole time that
the Hungarian refugees stayed there, and as
serts that the letter contains simple request
from an old schoolfellow of his to procure
him employment on his arrival in the United
States. Whether this be so, cannot be made
out for the present, as there is not a single per-
son in Havana who understands the Magyar
language.

dawn to the fifteen minutes rule. That rule,
indeed, was no great hardship upon the malo- |
rity of those who had, by that time, begun 70
OCCUPY the time and attention OF the Legisia-
ture. Fifteen minutes was quite enough time,
and, indeed. more than enough. Tor the uttefing
of all they knew about one subject! But these
limitations gained nothing for the State-ihe
speakers were as numerous as shad-fies IN
spring. All these appliances ofunwise mento
remedy faulty legislation, always proved of no
advantage, and sessions have been generally
forcibiy cut short after the members got
ashamed TO sit longer, leaving a vast amount
of public business which claimed attention,
and which ought to have been dispose of; and,
shat was worse, very imperfectly finishing
much that they acted upon.
When we first knew the Legislature of Fir'
ginia, the matter of rising and speaking in the
House Of Delegates was very serious one
il tried the resolution and the talents of men;
and we have seen many q man break down and
remain silent member for the remainder OF the
session, who was, for mental power, lar supe-
rior to many who now take active parts IN the
debates in that body. The habit the ofday, the
usage Of the House, was that of patient and at
tentive deliberation upon the public business du-
ring the hours fthe daily session. Business be-
ing considered and fashioned in committee, the
members entered the House TO hear debate
and to act. II a maa got ~ 10 speak, all eyes
were upon him, all ears attentive to his words.
This the speaker knew and felt ana he knew
as we'll as the House did, whether he interested
them. There was something terrible IN the
Withdrawal Of the attention that had been given
him. If he said nothing TO the point nothing
interesting or new-this was Immediately the
case. The man who, in spite OF this terrible
indication, could persist in speaking, was man
of uncommon nerve and no very great degree
of delicacy of feeling. But now any and every
body speaks. The really able men are the
most obscure and silent in the daily business
of Legislation. A fool may prattle away, and
the members can sit in their chairs and occupy
themselves at their desks, with reading or
writing, and feel none Of the inconvenience of
being bored-they can take care of their per-
sonal and party matters, andget their per diem;
and the man who has wasted the day is not
aware but that he has acquitted himself as well
as the very abIest debater in the House. His
great achievement of grand speech in the Le-
gislature is made know at home, to the very
great astonisment of the natives of the little
world he represents
We could enlarge at much greater length
and for days, at the abuses of modern legsla
ton. We could, at great length, lament the
decline of the dignity and order Of our public
assemblage.: but it is not a very pleasant
theme, and our "still small voice" would have
but little effect upon the babel of the times.

Loren P. Waldo. free.sOil democrat

remains TO be seen. The people of this

no hope or wish to prolQng his life, and
on several occasions lie has told his ply
stefan that he had no desire to live. His
prostration of body has not touched his

is, that he cannot support himself, and
is not allowed 10 walk even with the aid
of others.
