ing in our columns, we declined holding any COM
munication with them on that subject I'm Ill they
should consent to retrsct sD application to THE
TRIBUNE Of the imputatons put forth 10 The Pub
Fishers Circular by member Of that firm. They
refused to do us this act Of Justice, and we accord
ipely denied them the use Of our journal. We
held that we were under no obligations to persons
Who had sssailed US with false and vindictive in
situations aud when called to account before the
bar of the public refused to make proper repair
stion of the wrong attempted
In their card which appeared in several Of the
daily journals of yesterday, they do, however,
make the retractiOns which we yainly sought at
their bands. They asserted in The Circular that
the pre.s is "not only susceptible of peculiarly in
Auepces in it's book criticisms but is openly so =
and is not only willing but anxious to be bribed
This charge, they averred, applies to the peri
" odicsl press as whole" Driven to extremities
BY our demand for specification aud proof, they
now say that no charge was Intended against
q" any particular journal'-that they have no
knowledge of any sweeping charge of yenality
and corruption against the leading New York jour
nsls"-and that neither of their firm has ever
expressed any such bad opinion as we auege
against the "not obscure aud uninfuental New
York press in general" or in particular 1t is
seldom that we have seen the chsek of an exposed
calumniatOr turn pale so suddenly as in this
blanchipg of Mr. Mason from his own words After
having directed public suspicion ia the most def
lite manner against the If tegrity of our columns
he now criDeingly declares that his accusations
meant nothing in particular-that they were
aimed nowhere, and have hit nothing.
With the true instinct of that sentiment with
which conscience inspires the evil doer. in the alb
sence of higher motives, Mr.. Mason complains
that he has been singled out by name, and forced
from the obscuri'y Of The Publishers Circular into
the fall blaze of most unenyiable nOtOriety.
But is the steathy assassin of character to be
permitted to deal his enyenomed stsbs in the dark
Do not the imperative interests of social morality
require that the muffled nsinuator of calumnes
shsll be held strictly accountable for his poisonous
breathings before the eye of the public In thus
putting an end to the ambiguous hiots and more
open charges which Mason and his compeers have
scattered freely wherever they could find listen
lDg ear, We COuCoIo tnat No nave al
portant service to the freedom of the press to the
honor Of the publishing trade to the dignity of the
literary character, and to the of good morals
in general We do not wonder that Mr. Mason
"shrnks from public discussion of his acts and
motives" They are not Of o character to bear
investigation. But as he expresses feeling sense
Of "the improperly Of attacks on private indi.
viduals" he may hereafter abstain from these in
dulgegces of personal pique which are so easily
turned into sources of public modification

The Jury in the case of Baker, having declared
it entirely improbable that they would ever agree
upon a verdict, were brought into court yesterday
morning and discharged. The nearest that they
could come to a verdict was nine for murder with
recommendation to mercy, and three for man
slaughter in the second degree.

Another week of Congressional time is gone, and
the House is not organized. The several ballots
yesterday were essentially the same as for the last
three days. Last evening the friends of Freedom
for Kansas held caucos, resolved to nominate
candidate by ballOt-vtted and almost unanimously
named Mr.. Banks. This is virtually pledge
to stick to him, and every man Tho has a bona
fde backbone will do it. He must eventually be
the Speaker, either by the caving ia Of hungry
opponents or by trying the plurality system.
This is not the first long delay in organizing the
House. In December, l849, Congress met on the
Sd of the month. The csucas candidates for
Speaker were Robert C. Winthrop, Taylor Wing
Howell Cobb, Democrat, and David Wilmot, Free
Soil The Wing caucus refused to swallow a
rabid Pro-Slavery resolution offered by Robert
Toombs and that gentleman, with Messrs' Ste
phens Of Geo, billiard of Ala, Cabell of Fla, and
some others, backed out, and on the ballot voted
for Mr.. Gentry of Tenn thus preventing the cleo
ton of Mr. Winthrop. The week was voted away
Mr.. Gentry arrived on the following Monday, aud
at once withdrew his name and then TOombs and
company wasted their spite on Mr.. MOrehesd OF
Ky. The Democrats dropped Cobb and took up
William j. Brown running bis vote up to within
two Ct victory. Brown had succeeded in getting
some Free-SOil votes, but the trick was exposed
and be was dropped as bad timber. subsequently
Messrs. Winthrop and Wllmot withdrew their
names and rambling skirmish ensued with no con.
centration by any party. The next week the Wings
and Democrats held caucuses and agreed finally
that plurality of votes should be deemed an cleo
ton. The Toombs party worked desperately to
defeat this arrangement, and used up whole day
in talking against time aud making disturbance
generally. They were at length put down, aud
the members of both parties agreed to b,llOt three
times more, and if no choice was made by ma.
jority of the votes, the person having the highest
vote on the fourth trial should be declared the
Speaker The three trials we're in vain, and then,
on the sixty fourth ballot, Howell Cobb was chosen,
having 1O2 votes, to 100 for Winthrop, for Will
mot, for Morehead and floating. BY this means
the House was organized on the 22d of December.

She bound him with magic chain,
She wrapped him in spell,
She wreathed 4 chain around his heart
That naught could e'er dispel
A charm that shed rich CLEANS Of light
Ger all life's gloom and tears,
A spell that thrilled his soul with joy
Through long and blissful years.
They met IN pleasures radiant halls,
Where youth and beauty meet,
With bounding hearts and beatning eyes
And swiftly flying feet!
Pale cleaning pearls and flashing gems
And fragrant flowers Were there:
And music's sweetest, richest tones,
Stole through the perfumed air.
They met-he caught one thrilling glance
From her dark, earnest eye
He saw the blush steal DER her cheek
He heard her breathe the sigh
And when her voice gushed forth in song
And fell upon his ear.
He hush the beatings Of his heart,
Lest he might fail to hear.
They met-and all unconscious1y,
In that enchanting hour,
She wove, with blush, and smile and song,
A spell Of magic power!
He saw the light upon her brow
He heard the witching strain
The heart he long had boosted free
Henceforth must wear chain.
