.JGEIN n ROTTS

The Hon. Jno. NJ. Bolts is out in 4 long
letter against the passage of the Kansas Ne
braska Bill, or rather the abrogation Of the
Missouri Compromise He urges that the
act will produce but "Dcad Sea" fruit to
the South, though brought forward expressly
as u Southern measure. We make short
extract from the letter, that the reader may
have taste of the style:
after the most careful examination of this
portcntous question, am satisfied that it is
the most mischicvous and pernicious meas
IRE that has ever been introduced into the
halls OF Congress.
CASA Southern man, raise my voice
against it. ! oppose it, because it involves Il
breach of faith on the part of the South, who
have for thirty-odd years enjoyed the advan.
tagcs obtained by them in the formation of
the States Of Missouri and Arkansas. | OPP
pose it, because it necessarily and unavoida-
bly, begets another angry and sectional con-
troversy, which there are none left among us
strong enough in the confidence of the pco.
pie to alay. ioppose it because it uproots
and destroys the Compromise measures of
1850, to which the North is no more pledged
than the South to the Compromise now pro-
posed to be abrogatcd. lopposc it, because
it would be an act Of infatuated madness on
the part of the South to accept it. oppose
it, because it will be impossible ever again to
obtain MS favorable terms from the North,
with their seven millions majority of white
population, as we obtained when that popu.
lation more nearly apr oXimatcd equality.
| oppose it, upon the ground that it pla.
ccs barren privilege in the hands of the
South, for which not only no equivalent is
offered, but by which SHE must be an ultimate
and great loser.
sit is not the least strange chapter in this
history that those who now denouncc the
unconstitutionaity of the Missouri Com.
promise, should all have waited until its most
prominent advocate had retired from thci,
midst, and descended to the tomb before they
could find the valor to assail his work; it is
libel upon his memory that, from prudcn.
tal considerations, they did not see fit to ut.
ter during his life: but, although he was kill.
ed by the undkndness of friends he most re.
lied on, he has left those behind him who
will be prompt to protect his fame. by almost
supcrhuman efforts, such as went far to carry
the most distinguished man of the age TO his
grave, we have just extnguished n conlagra-
ton that threatened tho destruction of the
noGlcst ship of state that was ever launched
upon the waters, and we have scarcely had
time t" realize the result, and exchange con.
CALCULATIONS on our safety, when one, more
rash and vile and frantic than the rest, scizcs
u blazing torch in each hand. rushcs madly
into the magazine of powder, tlourishcs his
iirebrands aIoit, and bidding defiance to all
consequences, calls upon us to initiate his
example. Those may follow him who choose,
but, for my own part, on all such occasions
| prefer the hose TO the ilambeNu.

A clean sweep; and Swartwout, the very
prince of iinancicrng Gaphins, himself could
not have fixed it up better. The whole thir-
ty millions absorbed by three items! II is
quite evident that the next administration
will not be pcrpcxed with much of surplus
at the outset.

~" A Buffalo correspondent of the New
York Express says that there is no truth in
the report that any Encouragement" exists be-
tween Ex-Prcsidcnt Fillmore and Miss POr-
ter, of Niagara, rs stated from Washington
by the Washington gossippcrs. The Ex-
President is leading very quiet ifc-and if
he is thinking anything of matrimony, nobody
knows any thing about it.

and is now law. 1t raises the salary of
Supreme Court Judges from $500 to $1,000,
and the salaries Of Chanccry and Circuit
Judges from $500 TO $500.
A resolution WAS introduced in the House
approving the course Of Jas c. Jones in the
Senate Of the United States touching the
Nebraska bill, and the House having refused
to suspend the rule, it lies over. Mr.. Lamb
also introduced resolution approving the

nesday evening arrived in due time, and we
presume the break on the Western and Allan
tic Railroad, mentioned in another place, has

BREAK IN THE WLsTERS AND ATLANTIC
RAlLEoAD.-Wc learn that portion of the
,restle work, near CartcrsyiIlc, on the West
cru and Atlantic Railroad, has given way
from the pressure of the recent high waters.
This break has prevented the running of
through freight trains for several days, and
caused a heavy accumulation Of freight on
both roads. But the damage if not already
repaired, will be in a few days, when we may
look out for a general cleaning out of the
depots on both lines.

TIE CESsUs.-The time occupied in tn.
king and completing the Census Of 1850 was
three years and five months. In 1910 it was
published in one year after it was commence
cd. In 1880 in two years after it was taken.
The expense of taking Census 1890, was
$il,377. In 1900, $G5,loo In 1910, 1874.
In 1920, $685. $50. In 1880, $27s,545. In
1910, $s33,37G. In 1850, $I,3l3,O27. The
latter sum includes only the expenses incur
red previous to the recent orders by Congress
of several hundred thousand copies of an alb
sract of the Census, which must increase the
cost of the whole work to over million and
half of dollars

c.y" The GrccncvilIc Spy suggests the
name of Maj. II. c. LYoS, of Knoxville, rs
candidate for Chancellor, when the election
comes before the people. We have very
high appreciation Of Maj. Lyon as Il gentle
man and a juriat, and we regret that the
Spy man could not mention his name in con-
ncction with the Chancellorshp without
speaking in such disparaging terms Of the
able and cstinablc man who now fills that
important post We know Maj. Lyon well,
and we are confident no one will more
promptly discountenancc such remarks about
the present incumbent than he.
