Matters and Things.

If there is anything commcndablc in
modern lcgisation-that can be said
IN Improvement upon ancient forms
it is the latter day system of c"ucus
ing. A system under which seven
men out of dozen, conspirc----not
openly but privately, and under the
fumes of brandy bottles, to rob five out
Of the twelve, Of rights vested in them
by the same authority that their wire
working colleagues connivcr under --
We do not speak under the pangs of
disappointed hopcs-wc expect moth
ing, and wish it distinctly understood
that our paper is not in the employ of
any party, or faction. Feeling as
free and as Independent as we are, it
delights us to look on the picture as it
is, and point out its gloomy shadows
In this connection let us ask the calm
and dIspasionatc observer, if this Gov
crnment is not rapidly departing from
the pure republican principal upon
which it is founded Is no. the
Statc-ay. the Union itself, a prey to
the widest factions, fed by the ignor-
ance of the populacc, and fostcrcd by
lcagued bands of caucusing SPECTATORS,
that would sell the Government for a
mess ofpottagc? 1t is even so. Men
do not closet themselves nowadays to
study out the welfare of the nation, it
is to plot treason, and devise means
for personal advancement and pccuni-
airy benefit. And what else is done
by what arc called "caucuscs. Look
at the incipient village caucus, where
some pot house Danton calls himself
to preside over the ward caucus, and
trace their operations through lcgiSla-
lures up to the Halls of Congress its
elf, and the result is always the same.
And is it not to rob the Government
of its republiclican features, and place
in authority such men as are unfit to
rule, who go not in, with an honest
pride but for the purpose Of feeding on
the honest industry ofthc land Let
others answer the question
1t is not Eutopean to look for an
era to dawn out of this dark state of
things, when the ninety seven millions
Of musty books that have been written

handed justice, will be got together in

from the Delta. 1t is n true bill

tickets, presenting, in large capitals,
his name and pretcntions. These arc
handed to every member, and to every
person who knows a member. The
SAID members receive the said tickets
IN the most gracious and courteous
manner; and, after certain vague
promises, aided by significant but non
connittal blinks and winks, deposit
the same in their pockets. Every hour,
however, they sneak quietly into some
obscure corner, and disgorgc their tick

venerable gentleman. in green spccta-
clcs and blue blanket coat, was conspi-
cuous for his activity ami reliance in
the potency Of this system Of canvas
sing. Wherever the old gentleman
would see crowd gathered, he would
come boldly up, with his bundle Of
tickets in his hand, not slyly and insin-
ua'lngly like your modern oiIicc-scck-
err, but bIandly inquiring, if there was
amy member Of the Legislature among
the crowd, and. receiving, of course,
an affirmative reply from all present,
would proceed to distribute his tickets
among them. in this way the old gen
tlcman continued, until he had cxhaus-
ted an edition of five hundred tickets,
and still he found more legislators to
receive them. At this point it occur
red to him, to look into the new Consti-
tuition, and see how many Legislators
there were. On discovering that the
number did not reach $50, he was
quite astounded, and complained bit
terry Of some trick of his opponents,
by which he run out of soap at the
beginning of the race. He, however
concluded to 60 to the Comet office"

FATAL AccrDENT.-The Southern
Mississippi Star of January II says :
We are informed by Doctor Foreman,
that a sad and fatal accident occurred
last week in Camden, Madison county,
which resulted in the death Of both
Mcssrs. McAndrcw and Fowler. 1t
seems that Mr.. Fowler had gone soon
in the morning to the residence Of Nc
Andrew for the purpose Of waking him
up, and as he Wa asleep, some one sug-
gcsted the bursting of a percussion cap
over his head in order to wake him. 4
small shotgun was procured, a cap
placed on the tube, and McAndrcw adj
vanced to the bedside, placed the gun
close to his head, without knowing it
was loaded, and pulled the trigger,
when the gun exploded and almost in
s'antly killed Fowler, and wounded
McAndrew 80 severely that his life is
said to be in great jeopardy.
