The "sruIrsr SysrEN,-Everybody has
heard Of the expression of Marcy, "To the
victors belong the spoils." II IS said he
does not like the notoriety it has given him.
A correspondent of the New York Times
relates the following. Thereis wit. as we'll
as sound political philosophy in the remarks
of Judge Spencer. Pofiticians will do we'll
to bear the point Of the jpke in rctnem.
brnuce:
an 1874, was present in a large body
Of politicians, Of whom the late venerable
Judge Ambrose Spencer, Of your state was
one. Some one, in the general conversation,
referred, among other topics OF party re-
proach, to the spoils system, and its vile
watehword, "To the %victors belong tho
spoiis." Perhaps he connected IL with Mr.
Caihonn's just contumely against the very
crew whom ne presently after hastened To
join; "that they were a party drawn and
banded together by the cohesive power of
the public plunder," Or, if n little more
learned, he may have traced the maxim up
from Marcy TO Catalina, whose it really is.
''Marcy," quietly interposed Juge Spencer.
sis rather sick Of the celebrity which that
sentence has given him. A few years ago
we met somewhere and fellto talking, as VIC
usually do, ofpublic affairs. made s,me
mention Of the victors that fight for the
fpoils. He seemed nettled and said protest.
inglY, "Why, Judge, nothing can be more
unjust than the odiun which that saying
has brought upon mo. You know perfectly
well, that all parties have in our State, long
acted upon that principle, and hardly any
other Il replied that he was certainly at
least half right-that is, right as to his own
party Ay, butt insisted he, your side has
done the same. Nay, | have heard you your
self, in long speeches hold forth, to your
friends, the very same doctrine, quite at
large AT large, If you will have ii 50,
Governor rejoined, "but you cannot say
that ever was fool enought to put the idea
into a little, short sentence, that everybody

And thus it is. President Pierce, in the

heart, crushed and silent, felt the utter hol-
lowness of all worldly renown. Mr.. Fill

Of a country's greetings and congrutula-

EXCHANGING PULPIrs.-A few miles be-
low Pougbkeepsie, there now lives, and has
lived for several years past, a worthy rler-
Gyman, a man however very short in stature.
Upon a certain Sunday, about eight years
ago, this clergyman was invited BY the pas
tor Of a church in that village, TO eli his
pulpit for the day. The invitation was uc-
copied, and Sunday morning saw Mr.-iu
the pulpit. Now Il happened that the pull
pit was a very high one, and accordingly
nearly hid the poor little clergyman from
view. However, the congregation, out Of
respect, managed to keep their countcnan.
ces, and with over pious faces, seemed re.
ligiously anxious for the text. They were
not obliged to wait long, fora nose and two
little eyes suddenly appeared over the top
Of tho pulpit, and a sluenking~ tremulous
voice proclaimed in nasal tones the text
"Be OF good cheer, it is I; be not nfraid."-
A general roar Of laughter followed the an
nouncemcnt--thc Clergyman became con-
fused, and turned all sorts Of colors. Many
in the general uproar, left the church. and
it waS a long time before the minister was
enabled TO proceed with his sermon, so nb-
ruptly broken off.

from Washington concur in representing

They have got n Bureau! A great fall

The Otto DEaocRAGY AT WAsHrNeroS.-
1t seems from the following extract from
the Washington correspondent of the New
Yorh Courier and Enquirer, that the Presi-
dent has been trying his hand at ~soft-sol-
dering the disappointed anxious inquirers
from this State: Crying over split milk is
Proverbid'ly a proftless business; and as
our friends can get nothing else, they per.
hnps may think it best to take his excuses,
as some Of them did his dinners:
The Ohio democracy, by their next friends,
the members of Congress, and volunteer DELI
egates, waited upon the President to-day BY
invitation. Full explanations were given
and received. A manifesto has been pre-
pared, setting forth the grievances of the
Democracy ia that State, but it was not pre-
scented. There were two prominent COM
plaints-the first was, that the Congression-
al delegation from Ohio had not been treat
ed with sufficient consideration. That was
explained and passed over. But the second
trouble-that Ohio was not represented in
the Cabinet, was manifestly irremovable.-
The President Gained the excitement Of his
guests. and promised to remove the causes
Of their discomfort, always excepting the
Cabinet Minister. Some Of the gentlemen
staid to dinner, and were further Modified.

which were ever taken out Of this county
and probably from any point in the West,
were those yesterday Of Dir. Tallmadge. 1t

were purchased of Mr.. ShUffer OF about
$500 each. The remainder were selected
with care, the whole number amounting to
sixty and costing about $l0,50O. They are
destined for the California trade, and we

A LoNDoN Foe.-We do not know much
about fogs in the Lake region, so little in
deed that an account OF a real London fog
looks like a tough story. The winter is tho
rainy and fOggy season in the metropolis,
and a correspondent Of the Boston TrOvel-
Ter writes February I'd, that it has rained
nearly every day for three months, and that
ina London fog the gas is kept burning in
the stores and houses all day; during the
evening omnibuses are obliged to give up
their trips; boys, armed with formidable
torch es, crowd the streets crying out
"Show the way, Sirl" and residents of Lon
don seek out some friend going the same
way, that they together may form a kind Of
mutual aid society, and by their mutual ef-
forts find their way hore. Such is a thick,
yellow London fog, and they arc not like
angels visits, few and far between.

N. PErIN AND HIS SHIP BALLooH.--We
have been expecting to see an account of
the ascent Of the celebrated French Fro
naut, Mons. Petin, in his monster "ship
balloon" The N. o. P~icnyune of the 26th
ult. says that NJ. Petin assembled on the 25th,
and that W thousand persons were pres
ent. The balloon was Of immense size, but
the ear was the great curiosity. It as
built in the shape Of a large skif, with ex-
tensive wings attached to the side, enabling
Nj. Petin to guide the dire ction Of his Rria.
craft from within. The car is built mostly
Of cork, lined around in tho cavities, con-
tanning gas. The ascension took place a
mid the cheers Of the people, and the stars
and stripes flying from the light vessel. NJ.
Petin for some time could be distinguished
walking about in bis frail structure direct
ing its movements. The excitement Of the
spectators was much heightened by Witness
ing the balloon pass through a beautiful
white cloud, which for time obscured the
floating machine from sight. After rising
to a great height, the balloon took different
directions according TO tho will of the pilot.
