WHAT'S THE REASON 1T is known that Gen
Foote on the Union platform is canvassing the
State of Mississippi with his usual energy. with
the view OF being elected again to the United
States Senate; and hence the necessity of get
ting good Union Foote men returned to the Lee
gislature Our venerable contemporary Of the
Courier and Enquirer, upon this question: is
cruel enough SO say
Were Governor Foote a candidate for any State
office, even for seat in the lower house of Con
gress, every friend OF the compromise would be
pleased to see his laudable course on that subject
again endorsed by the State of Mississippi but the
Senate of the United States is most digniied and
responsible body, and Governor Foote'S f1ightiness
of mind, profusion of words, and Inconsistency of
character, render him emnently unfit for seat in
that august body. We hope sincerely that the State
of Mississippi will not infict upon the public any
such unnecessary annoyance as the re election of
Governor Foote to the United States Senate.
Now, we should like to know what possible
interest the Courier can have in this matter
Is not the wing party dead? Has not our learn
ed contemporary turned his attention of late to
theological subjects, with very great success?
Why, then, should he come out again to stir up
the dirty waters Of politics against Gen. Foote?
Let every man stick to his vocation Our
neighbor Of the Courier is now theologian.
Let him not forget it.

A RARE CHANCE FOR THE HARD SHELLs.-The
Boston atlas having charged that General
Pierce has been appointing free-soilers to Office,
knowing them to be such, the Union at Wash
ington thus Indignantly repudiates the unpalat-
able allegation =
1t is unqualfedy false that General Pierce ap.
points men to office because they are known to be
free soiles and it is impossible that the Aas could
have been ignorant of the alsehood when it fabricated
it. 1t is, therefore, deliberate and unmitgated
SANDER We repeat what we have said betore-that
General Pierce has appointed no man to office know
ing or believing him to be free.s0iler and he
stands pledged to correct any such appointment into
which he may have inadvertently fallen, when the
fact of present freesolism is fixed any OF his ap
pontees.
Here is fine opening for the hard shells. If
they are Industrious and not too full of the
milk OF human kindness" they may establish a
long catalogue of officials in these ATTITUDES
necessary to thin out before the unterrifed de-
mocracy are cleansed of the odor of the Buffalo
platform. The Erening Post is still the organ
of considerable party inside the church. We
trust the hard shells will now speak, or forever
hereafter hold their peace.

The Water IL Coming3

Tho Water IL Coming!
We are truly happy to be able to announce
thst sum was inserted on Monday in the
appropriation bill, in the Senate, for COM
luencing the important work of bringing an
abundant supply of pure water to the city.
This is the best news of the kind we have
given to our readers since the commence
ment of the publication of the Star. All
our friends know that We have taken q
deep interest in this great work of intro
duciDg pure water into Washington; and
now we most heartily congratulate them,
and the public, on the suspicious prospect
before the metropolis.
The blessings of pure water for all the
citizens are not confined to the city of Wash
ington. All the laud will partake of them.
There is no part Of our country, that is not
interested in the Capital and therefore the
ouu HAii IeJOlCC luc
precious boon of Heaven, sparkling water,
is to be set flowing freely among US.
Pure water is not only the promoter of
cleanliness. 1t is the conservator of health ;
the guardian of sound morals A city that
is clean is always healty; and healthy
city is even protected against the fearful in
roads Of vise.
"Sparkling and bright
In it, liquid light,
Is the water in your glasses;
1t gives You health,
1t earEs you wealth,
Brave lads and rosy lasses."
We do not know what action is necessary
in the House of Representatives. Doubtless
81 that needs to be done will be done
prolntly by that Honorable body. No higher
honor of the kind could it confer upon itself
than to be able to say-"TH1s IS THE SEES
SION OF CONGRESS THAT SUPPLIED THE CAPT.
TAI CITY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH An
ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF PURE WATER"

ordered to be printed.
Mr.. RUsK, from the Committee on Post
Office and Post Roads, reported back the
Post Route Appropriation Bill, with hume
rous amendments, which were adopted in

Mr.. R. also moved an amendment, pro-
viding for the punishment of counterfeitng
Post Office stamped envelopes; which was
adopted.
Also, an amendment the object of which
was to raise commissions of postmastcrs in
small Offices. Adopted.
Also, an amendment providing for the
appointment of additional Assistant Post

Bill.
Mr.. HUNTER, by unanimous consent, sub
mitted several additional amendments
which were adopted. Among them was
one appropriating 500, 900 for REPAIRS &C.,
to the Executive Mansion.
The amendment respecting all duties on
railroad iron was again considered, and,
after conversational debate, it was rejected
by Yeas, 19-nays, Sc. Many democrats
voting against it from fear that it would
imperil the Appropriation bill.

Mr.. BUNN.-Some persons may have un-
wisely inferred that we are opposed to all
exhibitions of genius not indigenous to our
OWN country. But such is by no means the
case. No persons admire more cordiality
than We do the talents of Dickens, Kean,
. Kemble, q Thackeray, . McCready, q
Bum. The last named we have had the
pleasure of hearing, and We most earnestly
commend him to our citizens. We unhesi-
ta,ingly place Mr.. Bum, at the very "heaa
and front" Of the delineators of Shakespeare
that have ever appeared. He i, perfect.
No more grateful amusement of the kind
can be enjoyed than the lectures and repre-
sensations Of this gifted lover of the immor-
tai bard.

President Pierce's Present,

Tie citizens will be much pleased with
tie elegant and convenient carriage, and
large and handsome span of horses, about
to be presented to President PIERCE, by
a!essrs. Dunbar, Riddle, and Fetredge, OF
Boston, in the name of several gentlemen in
Kew England.
The vehicle is perfectly neat and beauti-
full, without being in the least gaudy.-
There is the silver, there is the rosewood,
there is the cut glass, there is the elegant
lining; but there is no tinsel, no trapping,
10 needless gew-gaw; all is plain, hand
s"rne, durable, Rep. 5lican. Just as it should
ne. The horses are the most noble pair of
fellows we ever saw. And the harness is
handsome enough to match.
The present is credit to the Donors
who. we understand embrace gentlemen of
all PARTIES. As soon as it is to be seen by
the public, we will announce its where
abouts to the readers of the Star.

ffty-two transient paupers sent by the Com
missioner during that year.
I'VE also certify that in consequence of
the Corporation of Washington having re-
fused for several years to make any provi-
sion for dispensing medicine to the poor of
the city, this institution has been seriously
taxed by the necessity of supplying medicine
to the out door poor, who have been in the
daily habit of resorting to the Infrmary as
the only means of procuring medicine gra.
tuitously. We assert with confidence that
during the past year at least three hundred
paupers have been thus assisted with the
approval of the Board of Directors of the
Infrmary.
1--WE also certify that instances have &C.
Cured of city paupers afflicted with incura-
bic diseases and iufirmaties not admitting of
relief who have been retained in the Infrm-
airy because the guardians Of the poor re-
fused to give orders for their admittance into
the city asylum, an institution professedly
intended for the reception of such patients
and that we have now in the institution
an infant in health deserted by its parents
which they also refuse to admit.

would inquire who wrote the prescrip-
tions' Did any one of the directors write
them, or did not the students connected
