Information has been received that the
bill we here publish, has become law.
"S,eeep ont the GalpAix's," was in.
scribsA upon the banners Of the Demo
cracy. ntheir last Presidential canvass.
The mass Of the people in all parties,
will never sanction dishonesty in public
places, ,---hence this law may be regard.
ed as candid expression Of public SEN
tment, ,ha. "unlailing corrective OF all
abuses in free government" The law
speaks an unmistakeablc language. II
says plainly to the servants Of the So
vercign people, yc shall not be twice
paid, We shall not steal, ye shall not >.
vet youe masters treasures Of silver and
Of gold. neither shall ye covct what is
your neighbors.
Such an act, passel at the present
time, while the people are yet "frel
with indignation" in consequence OF the
gigantic frauds and swindlings commit
I ted upon their Treasury, by those who
were the chosen trustees Of their inter
csts, the legally authorized guardians OF
their rights, has most significant en-
phasis.
The time draws nigh when the Demo
cratic President and policy are to be in
auguratcd at Washington, for the mex,
four years. The affair will be attended
bv one circumstance that is fast becom.
ing reproach, and scandal 10 the
nation; no party is exempt from its in'
huence, we Of course aliude TO that
swarm of oflic e. seekers, who crowd the
capital, upon the income Of every new
administration. Before the President
can have time to look abou, him, and
set his affairs in Order, every avenue lead.
ing TO his house, is filled with these cor.
mo, ants that follow in the train Of po.
litical parties as the shark follows in
the wake Of ship for the crumbs that
! fall overheard. The first business he is
called upon to do, is to fill out appoint
ments for men that are beseiging his
house. 1t is said that Presidents Har.
rison, and Taylor, were literally driven
from life, by these merciless parasites.
| We believe the public service will be
quite as safe in the hands Of those whom
appointments have sought, as it will be
in the hands OF those who make it a
business to seek office. 1t is the conduct
Of this latter class Of men, that has
brought upon the country the necessity
of such law, as we here publish; that
will in all time to come, remain as 6
standing sarc asm upon the character OF
those now in office, under the Federal
Government.

Minute AIeanneSS.

We publish the following, by the way,
as a specimen Of what little minds arc
capable of doing, when yielding to an
inordinate desire for weal,h:-And for
expl an nation, say, we are informed the
bill alluded to was not "half bill, I"
but veritable promise from the officers
of the Logan Branch Of the State Bank
of Ohio, to pay 10 the bearer, on de.
mand, one dollar, yet somewhat ragged
aud torn from long use. We are entirely
at loss how to express our utter con-
tempt for so small specimen Of hu.
manity-a legalizcd plundcrer of the
peoples earnings, not satisfied that his
base promise, "conce eived in sin, and
brought forth in iniquity," had been
source of profit for years, must now re-
pudiate that promise, and step into mar
ket to buy up his own paper at fifty per
cent discount, and array his generosity
for giving .Gfy ONE cents, for what he
calls worth but fifty. Qucre, if his
promise is worth but fifty per cent, what
is his honor =? Does any one say it is on.
ly q triAc-true, and the heartless, soul.
less automaton, that would be tempted
by forty nine cents to stoop to such an
act of base meanness, can be bought and
sold in market like small potatoes at any
price. But says the very polite thing,
"lfyou are not satisfcd-wc will return
The bill to you!" Return their forfeited
promise, reiteratc their falschool, resus.

it again upon society, implacable cf.

The CalOriC Ship.

a day or two ago Mr.. Ericson's new
and splendid caloric ship. the Ericsson,
made an experimental trip down the bay
at New York, and went at the rate Of
ten or twelve mi les the hour, the wind
and tide being in her favor, which was
very satisfactory speed. The success Of
the discovery and the enterprise seems
to be regarded at New York as certain;
and lift is, is the greatest achievement Of
the age, excepting, perhaps, the electric
telcgraph-steam navigation we do ret
except, because the propelling powers Of
steam have long been known. Fulton's
glory was that he applied it.
The calorc ship is to be propelled by
heated atmospheric aif, saving, probab.
ly, fout fiths Of the fuel now required to
propel vessels, as it is stated that ship
may take on board coal enough to take
her to China and back. The office~of
the coal is to heat the air, which is con.
tanned in enormous cylinders Of almost
incredible Observation-Disclosures feet in
diam eter. The consumption Of air will
be very great; but it makes no difference
how great, for the supply is always at
hand, abundant and inexhaustible, and
the consumption is but apparent, for
having performed its propelling func.
tions, it is discharged into the atmos.
phere, whence it came.
