Eanatieai Persecution.

many OF the newspaper writers of Louisville
and some other places, since the trial and ac.
qulttal Of Matt Ward, have dashed themselves
into terrible fury in their efforts to crush the
man The impression generally produced upon
reading their fierce and Incorporate philippics
against Ward, Crittenden, the Hardin county
jury, and others, is that they are not 50 much
meensed by the fact that the life of MIR. Butler
was taken and the circumstances under which
that act was committed, as at the voluntary aid
rendered by Mr. Crittenden and the final ac
quittal Of Ward. Their anger would thus seem
TO DO analogous to that of the disappointed mob
who tear down the galows when the condemned
man receives reprieye or pardon
The most senseless portion of this business il
the cry raised against Grittenaen by these sa.,i
ent expounders of justice, law and common
sense. What deny the man who is charged
with crime for which the law awards the ex,
IRENE penalty, the most full and complete
means and opportunity Of defending himself
and establishing his innocence or the exact
degree Of bis guilt The proposition is mon
strous, and could not be supported by any but
those blinded by prejudice or Indifferent to
right and wrong. 1t is a maxim of law that
an accused person is held to be innocent until
proved otherwise, and that every aid compatible
with the ends of justice should beafforded him
Tor his defence. Yet in this case q storm O,
Vituperauon and abuse is raised because the
young man had friends who chose to exercise in
his behalf those rights which are guaranteed to
every citizen by the Constitution and the laws

CITY Naisances.

Don't be alarmed, reader! We have no
intention of saying any thing personal, but
we purpose coming out some fine morning with
a book in which shall be set down, described
and commented upon every sort and degree Of
the abuses or nuisances which greatly abound
and flourish in the midst of this goodly city.
We do not say this by way of advertisement to
the work, but as threat of exposure to those
persons who will insist upon procuring their
own convenience at the expense of other peoples
comfort. Such a volume would swell to an i'm
mense size, if we are to judge by the number of
complaints made lately of filthy streets and
cutters, sidewalks encountered in one portion of
the city with cotton bales, and in another with
old furniture and boxes to break your shins
while the iron rod of an awning knocks off your
hat, or perhaps gives you thump between the
eyes; of deseerated public squares, of racing
drays, of riotous and immoral dens and the ne.
cessity of having them g cleaned OUT and of
the thousand and one abuses and corruptions
which must for ever prevail while public officials
are in nothing superior to mankind in general
The appropriation Of public squares to private
uses has become common in this city, and none
shamelessly deseerated than Tiyoli Circle--if we

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-

WASHINGTON, June 5, 1854.
1t is quite certain that the House will not
agree to the proposition of the Senate to take a
summer recess The per diem would be CON
tinued while the members were at home, but
this consideration will have no influence The
House is disposed to go on through the summer
and finish the business of the session, even if it
be prolonged, as it is likely to be, till Septem-
Der.
Some of the Northern whig papers call upon
Congress to remain in session till the end of the
present term-the Sd of March, 1S55-with
view to prevent the Administrs ton from taking
any steps in regard to the acquisition of Cuba
without consulting Congress The two Houses
will probably debate the proposition to provide
for special Commissioner to Spain till the end
of the session, though l am inclined to believe
that it will be adopted.
The convention of the several British Pro-
vinces, called for the purpose of considering the
reciprocity project and the fisher question,
will meet in Montreal about a fortnight hence
There is no doubt that they will give their
assent to the arrangements proposed. The
trade between the United States and Canada
has vastly increased within the last year, and
will be greatly promoted by reciprocity Of
commercial regulations
The municipal election in Philadelphia to-
morrow will be an excited one There and else
where, a series of combined forces constitute a
formidable party.

A CURIOUS STRUCrURE.-The nest of q tarantu-
la (spider) has been found in California, Of most
singular construction. 1t is about three inches
in length by two in diameter, built of adobes, the
wall being nearly half an inch thick. Inside is
a projection, which nearly divides it into two
apartments about an inch in diameter. The in
side is lined with white downy substance, not
unlike velvet, and presents one Of the cleanest
and most tidy little household imaginable. But
the most curious part of it is the door, which fits
into an aperture and closes it Theoretically. The
door is secured by hinge, formed of the same
fbrous substance as the lining of the house, and
upon which it swings with freedom. The nest is
occupied by dozen little tarantulas, which ap-
pear to subsist upon yellow seereted substance

lection of the little inmates indicates great in
stinctive architectural knowledge 1t is the
intention of the finder to forward this curiosity
to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington.
