sion that it would be wholly unoperative,
unless publication was prohibited from

would be perfec, farce, and the Court
would not enact it. The witnesses
might as we'll be in court, and hear the

A writer in the Washington Union

A writer in the Washington Union is
undertaking to show that the moon has
no influence over the tides. His theory
Of their origin is as follows:
at is a we'll known fact, abundantly
established py maratime surveys, that
there are ranges and chains Of mountains
buried up in the ocean, as extensive and
lofty as any that are observable on the
outer surface Of the earth. These i'm.
mcnse piles Of organic nature have all
been operated upon by hidden fires, by
eruptons, s,and other material convulsions
by means Of which they have been per-
forated with vast caverns, reaching fa'
towards the center Of our earth. And
here arises another question, Of equaI
significance with that just propounded

Keeping the Sabbath.

An inriden! that occurred one day
last week, suggested 10 cur mind num-
Der Of queries. We were standing on
the whar(boat as steamer approached
the landing, when very respectable
looking stranger stepped out on the guard
Of the boat and inquired Of the Captain
Of the steamer ifhe "stoppeh his boat on
Sundays" On receiving negative
answer the old gentleman slowly retired,
and sought his lodgings again in town.
Although we are aware that there are 9th.
ers like him, yet we are aware that they
are very few in number, compared with
The aggregate travelling community
And though many would say he was more
"nice than wise," and many more would
excuse themselves upon tho ground that
they did not manage the boat, and con.
sequently were not guilty OF breach Of
the Supreme command though they might
be carried along their journeys by it, yet
the conviction came directly to our
mind that there was cne who was not on.
ly willing to (oreso the desire 10 reach
his journeys end, but TO incur the ex.
pense Of an overstay rather than sane.
ton by his act or his presence, the des.
ccraton Of the Sabbath, and he received
our involuntary admiration; when

that a profitable acknowledgment Of
the claims ofdlvinc justice. that is only
male when our worldly transactions do
not conflict with it? Can men remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy "when
their steamboats, are plying upon the riv.
ers, their furnaces in full blast smelling

wind, to Gil their already overaowing
Golfers with their sabbath days profit? Is
the employer less guilty Of a breach ol
the Sabbath (though he may be found in
the sanctuary than the employed, who
knows no sab bath 10 his labor, and toll,

to him closes up his pilgrimage upon

PRUSSIA,

Certuiun Of the London press state
most emphatically that at the conference
nt Warsaw the other day, between the
Emperors Of Russia and Austria, and
the king Of Prussia, Nicholas offered to
Pfussiu and additional slice of Poland,
on condition OF siding with him on the
Turkish affair. The precise form that
that the offer took has not transpirel, but
part of II was TINT o Prussinn force
should occupy Warsaw and other gar'i'
sons of Poland, while the Russians would
advance on Constanlinople. The king
of Prussia bad the sense TO reject this of.
fer, being afraid Of the movements OF the
French on the Rhine frontier.
II is stated .ha, the Prussian Govern.
mcmt is about 10 send circular to the
Government Of Europe, affirming sha, M
political arrangement OF any kind was
entered into OF Warsaw; that Prussia
has 10 care for her own interests, and

way OF The Nations. Since the success
of the Collins Steamers in securing by
the votes of sworn members Of Congress-,
an annual s,ipendiary ofmillions oldol'
lars from the peoples treasury, to aid in
forwarding their own private CONNER
cial enterprise, under prctense oi rem
dering service in transporting the mail;
the most exlravaeanl grants OF !ond aud
money will not surprise US. Yet we
look, and we trust not IN vain, for the
Western members and particularly our
own delegation, 10 present an unbToken
ron, against building up any more mo-
nopolie. at public expense, whether on
land or water.
The newspaper press and the people
everywhere have desired that n Railroad
from the Mississippi River TO The Pacific
shall DO built, and that too in the short
cs, tine possible; therefore The only
question TO be decided is whether it shall
be made and owned by tue people, or
whether it shall be built by and become
tho property Of a cooperation.
TIE road itself would become a gen.
e,ul highway for all the States as well
as for all chrislendom and hea,hendoIh
it is therefore national in its character
and essential for the mail service; con
sequcnlly it is perfectly constitutional
Hence we are most decidedly Of tho o
pnon that the road should be public
property, built by the people and ownee
by them in all time TO come.
The control Of such a vast inleres
would, in ,>e hands Of n private com
pany, give to few individuals too mucl
power. The Sec'yiofthc Federal Tl( as
= ury notifies the public that there or
i s25, 100000 on hands for public us
It SIC, 900 expended every year woul
/; be sufficient to build 200 miles yearly q
$, the Pacific Rail Road, with n doubl
g track Of the amplest sasue SO csscntia
l. TO the Interests Of commerce, and civil
al zalion. If the construction Of this wor
" by tie Government should cost fc'
). millions more it would not thcreb
!; y be materially injured, because the exec:
10 sive cost would only be a transfer of S
much money from the treasury to tn
people, from whom it had been collecte
: in taxes on imported goods. This woi
when completed il owned by the pcopl
:, at large, would, most unqueslionably
=" afford sufficient means 10 support III
-, Federal governmen,,and thereby rende
u absolute free trade with all nation
" practical, and direct taxation unnecessi
" ry. The Democratic party has never oI
, posed improvements by the General Go,
. crnment that were manifestly a,ions
in their character, when the same wei
necessary for the interests Of genera
:; commerce, ard disconnected with loct
works.
Hence We shall expect Pres'der
Pierce 10 favor this gigantic improve
. ment as q national work.

Bank Failures.

The Bank Of Massilon, Ohio, is sail
TO have failed entirely. Whether this
is tue to the fullest extent, is yet 10 be
ascer,ained. 1t may have been only a

Of community may be fully realized. We
have no means of ascer,aining.
