Nautical Theology.

A story is current of sailor, more dis
posed to divinity than nautical men in gen.
eral, who when in this port, formed regu-
larly one of the congregation at the church
OF popular minister. 1t chanced that
during one of the discourses to which
jack was an attentive listener, the reverend
doctor alluded several times, in scriptural
phrase, to Satan being bound in chains
for thousand years The passage struck
the attention Of the seaman with peculiar
force, and during the week he pondered
frequently upon the words, feeling every
lime an increased satisfaction that an indi-
vidual towards whom he had never
been over partial, was SO securely and for
such lengthy term disposed Of
On the following Sunday he went to hear
the doctor again, but to his great surprise, q
to the upsetting of all his recent comfort
ing notions, during one part of the sermon
the preacher asserted that the devil 'goelh
about like a roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour.' Jack quilted the church,
oppressed with a host of conflicting
thoughts and emotions and unable after
many tough soiiloqual argument, to re-
conciie the two statements, he resolved 10
summon up courage, and wait upon the
clergyman in order to have the mystery
solved. He did so, and, after considerable
hemming, and having, and hitching OF the
trowsers, at length spoke at once, told the
doctor he could not make the two sermons
fit. and asked, if his Satanic majesty was
really bound in the way stated, to know
the length of his cable. Oh was the dig
nifed reply, 1T extends over the whole
world My eyes?' rejoined jack, does
it! Why the lubber might as we'll be
loose. .'-LiUerpooL Times.

Paw and Allowances.

The occupant of Mr. Clay's seat in the
Senate of the United States is the person
who moved a call for information as TO the
sums of money received from the Treasury
by Gen. Scott and Gen. Pierce respectively
during the periods of their military service
Mr., Merriwether,' says the Washington
Union, as the representative of Sovereign
State had a perfect right to make such call
No doubt of it. The honorable Senator has
a perfect right to stand upon his head if he
choose to do so. But every body knows that
the call was moved for electioneering purpo-
ses, and that the answer now furnished from
the Treasury Department will be garbled,
msrepresented and paraded before the coun-
try with every variety of exaggeration to
show the amount Of dollars and cents the
blood of a hero is worth.
This game is worthy of the actors. Go on,
gentlemen, and make the most of it. ESti-
mate patriotism by the standard Of value
most familiar to you and find out it's exact
worth in coin. Weigh glory and gold to-
honor, and duty, and We noble qualities that
make soldier illustrious let the battles and
victories and campaigns distinguished by
generalship and heroism, be made subject to
your process Of discount; and then, with
what cOuntenance YOU may, look your coun-
rrymen in the face and tell them the per
centage at which the national and the glory
ef our Aag may be advanced in the estimation
Of the world. Admirable occupation fer

We find III tie Union newspaper nearly
three columns devoted to the subject of Gen
Scott's accounts with the Treasury. We
must do that journal the justice to say that
it goes blushingty into the business, and
seems to feel that it is engaged in an IN
worthy task In the long career Of Gen.
Scott, including some forty years Of military
service, there never was any question, so far
as We have ever heard, conc .rning his pecuui-
airy relations with the Government. He has
! received such compensation as the law allowed,
and there the matter ended. Itwasreserved for

Progress In Democracy,

A great deal has been lately said, espe-
cially by Young America, of the progress
i've character of Democracy. Our oppo-
nents are fairly entitled to their claim of
progress. But then, they should not in
slst in the same breath, that they belong
to the OLD school American Democracy
Nothing can be more different than the
Democracy of the early days of the Re-
public and that of the present hour. Bank,
Tariff, &C., were once warmly supported
by the democratic party. Now they are
denounced as the distinguishing features of
Federalism. The progress of the demo-
cratic party from their ancient creed, and
their claims still to be genuine old Amer-
can democracy finds fair illustration in
the following anecdote:
| say Squire, said an individual who
was indulging in the luxury of whittling

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-The
Supreme Court, sitting at Pittsburg, on Tues
day gave a decision, in an appeal from the
Common Pleas of Northumberland, which
will reverse the practice under the act of
lS49, commonly known as the Three Hun
dred Dollar Law" Hitherto it has been
deemed sufficient to give notice to the Sheriff,
prior to a sale of personal property, that the
benefit of the three hundred dollar law
would be claimed. After the sale, if the
property sold brought S400, the defendant
received $500, and the creditors Sl0O. Ac-
cording to the decision, the law was passed,
not for the benefit of the debtor, but of the
debtors family. The debtor is bound to give
notice when levy is made, that he intends
to claim the benefit Of the exemption law. Ap-
praisers must be appointed, and ne is bound
to select the articles of furniture, &C., which
he wishes to retain. If he suffers the Sheriff
to proceed to sale, he loses all share Of the
proceeds, which enure to the benefit of the
creditors in the order of their liens.
On Thursday, in the Supreme Court, Mr..
Tyson attorney for the Central Railroad
Company applied for rule to show cause
why a mandamus should not be issued on
the Canal Commissioners, requiring them to
draw the cars of the Pennsylvania railroad
Company on the Philadelphia and Columbia
Railroad. The rule was granted, and thirty
days allowed the Commissioners TO chow
cauee.
