Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, from the Com
mittee appointed to wait on General FRANK.
LIN PIERCE and inform him of his election
to the Presidency, reported that the Com
mittee had performed the duty assigned
them, and that the President elect had sig
nified to them his acceptance Of the Office
in these words:
You will please communicate to the re.
spective Houses of Congress my acceptance
Ut The trust confided to me, and at the same
time express to them my grateful acknow-
Judgments, and assure them of the deep
sense Of obligation with which regard this
manifestation Of confidence on the part of
my country men. 1t will be my earnest
endeavor to prove that their confidence has
not been misplaced"
The House then resumed the considera-
ton of the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Mr. Tuck concluded his remarks in favor
Of the bill, and
MIR. CLlNGMAN spoke in favor of some mod
iication Of its provisions.

Col. BESroN's personal influence in Mis-

authority. No matter who struggles from
the faith, one blast from the Bullion horn
will bring him back, penitent:
Not long since, one of the Representatives
of the people, named Jones, who had been
blind follower of the great I" did," land
who knew him perfectly well,) thought
proper to think for himself, or rather to
think before cold Ton" had spoken; un-
fortunately he expressed himself the wrong
way; this came to Benton's ears A short
time after, being in Jefferson city, standing
in the streets engaged in conversation with
several gentlemen, this Mr.. Jones approach
ed and spoke to Col. Benton. Now was his
time, old Tom drew back, raised himself up
to his full height, levelled his eye glass at
the unlucky Jones, and said, "Your name,
sir ?" Clones" sJoncs!" says old Tom.

long to, sire" Then he dropped his eyeglass,
and quietly resumed lis conversation. 1t

mizzled, knocked under at once, and is now
working in the traces again most lovely, as
a Bentonite.

Light.

There is no subject connected with the
comforts of the city of more interest than
that Of light. Therefore any suggestions
tending to improve the city in this respect
must be acceptable and interesting. 1t is
stated by those who are we'll informed on
the subje.t that coal gas, equal in quality to
that now in use in this city, can be furnished
to consumers for two dollars and Fifty cents
per thousand feet, if the following plan is
adopted: Let the corporation own the
works, which they may do, by applying to
Congress for permissioh to borrow for that
specific object sum not exceeding $780,.
600. 1t will not probably need .ore than
$500, 600 for the present, but it will be bes,
to provide for years to come. The corpora
ton can erect works or purchase the present
works, if they can be had at fair price,
and the stock Of the corporation bearing 6
per cent. interest, redeemable in twenty
years, or at pleasure, will raise all the
money necessary for the purshase or cree
ton of the works.
Let competent man be employed at
salary that will justify him in devoting his
VT itnlo 40 IL,
works, the income from the gas at the price
above stated will more than pay the inter
est on the stock issued and meet the ex-
penses Of wear and tear. Thus the public
will only pay $3.50 for what they now Pay
$4,-the quantity Of gas to be consumed
will greatly increase, and the streets that
are now in darkness, to the great ANNOYANCE
OF the citizens, will be lighted. The corpo.
ration will not have one dollar to pay. A |
responsible person can be found who will
agree to pay the interest on the amount
paid for the works and furnish the gas to
consumers for $3.50 per thousand feet
This suggestion is not made in opposition to
the present gas company. They are proba-
bly, only doing what other companies would
do, when they lay out their money, trying
to receive the best per centage they can,
and are not satisfied to receive simple inter.
est on their outlay. We feel perfectly Salts
fed that the above suggestions are such as
should meet the speedy and favorable re-
spouse of Congress and Of the entire CITY.

The PactAc Railroad.

The Psciic Railroad.
Congress may not established railroad
to the Pacific during the present session,
but we feel convinced that the time is not
far distant, when the shores Of our bound
ing oceans will be linked by IRON bands.
This is a land of progress, in which no
great work of improvement cnce projected,
be, but to shack OUT is impossible-the
hand On the dial of national usefulness
never goes backward. We still walk in the
twilight Of a new day, and scarcely see
clearly oil that lies before us-but it will
ere long begin to take more distinct shape,
and We shall better appreciate the magni-
tude of the task, and the way to execute it.
Some talk of the expense! But cannot

out treasure and blood with lavish profusion,

be amonument to the enterprise of the pre-
sent generation, in ages to come? A road
to the Pacific would be an emblem of human
power and skill, compared with which the
Wanted pyramids of Egypt are but aecumu-
lations of stone, heaped up as if their con-
structors had been human ants, without the

mere matter of dollars and cents arrest its

may be, our vigorous nation, replete with
wealth and energy, can easily pay the bills
Of the relative merits of the lines prcjec-
ted We know nothing. neither is it necessary
to discuss them. First determine to have
road, and it will not be difficult to locate in
where most advantages offer. Local jeal-
ousies ore the most formidable opponents to
the scheme, and should at once be aban-
doned as disgraceful and unworthy of Amer
