THE END OF
WASHINGTON, March 8,

Old Bullion was characteristic to the last. On
Sunday morning, about 10 O'Clock, he came into the
House just within the door, without taking his hat
off, and finding business still going on, proclaimed
in n loud voice: j am now an ex-member of Con
gress, Sir, one of the people, Sir, and l protest
against this usurpation, Sir, this violation of the
Constitution, Sir The Speaker remarked If
the gentleman is an er-member he will please steL
outside the bar of The House When Sidney Web
stcr came in with the veto of the Collins bill, the
old man shook him violently by the hand, saying:
Tell the President lie has covered himself with
glory; tell him to keep OH hand a full supply Of
blank vetoes for the diets Of this id corrupt Con-
grcss.'
Headed by seven "~nigger" cuts The Metz Orledhs
Delta has an advertisement blazing away on the
merits OF 1.-The Washington Remedies" quack
medicines, relieving all the ills that nigger-hesh is
heir to-invaluable to planters and others, WHO
have on their hands faithful servants, who, through
disease, are rendered proftless." A humane con-
sideraticn, truly patriarchal. The Washington
Purifier" is praised ms a panacea for obstinate
sores, arising from blows This consideration
ought to make it popular with the South. If the
3 500, 900 slaves have an average of only one obsti-I
nate sore each, it would require 800, 600 p~lasters
of the Washington" in order to cure them, and
that alone would he a fortune. In the hope of
being useful we make this notice, and shall charge
nothing for Neutrality-suspicious.
s5ayh The wheels of the Government in Indiana
are blocked, the Legislature on whom devolved the
duty of electing State Officers, adjourned without
doing it. The Governor has appointed a set, but
the Secretary of~State refuses to swear them in.
There is also n vacancy in the U. S.. Senate to be
filled by appointment of the Governor, until the
assembling of the Legislature.

term for which he has been elected, and for one
year thereafter.
Judge Trumbull was elected United States Scna-
tor, after he had resigned the Office of Judge of the
Supreme Bench, but before his term had expired.
Thereupon, Gen. Matteson refuses, it is said, to
give him his certificate.
The question thus stated excites much attention
in Illinois. What is the meaning of the phrase
'term"--can the clause in the State Constitution
embrace an Office not made by that Constitution

Judges of the qualifications of MEMBERSHIPS
points arc earnestly debated.

seconded from the farm of Thomas Durham of Ken
ton county, last Sunday. They were traced to Gin.
cinnati by a brother of Mr.. D., since which time
no intelligence of their whereabouts has been as

time they are in Canada.

keep the Old Liners in power there. Dixon has
been staying at home. at Henderson, KY, attend
ing to a new wife.-Atchison has been pipe-laying
and wire pulling in Kansas and Missouri and
Houston is gadding around with an Indian blanket
over his shoulders, thinking himself wonderfully
popular and in the straight road to the Presidency
because his nameis " Sam" In the meantime the
AbOlitionists are taking Congress, and Douglas and
Butler, (of S. c. are getting drunk and black
guarding them.-S. Louis Mteligencer.
Mr.. Jacob Cantril, who lives at Independence,
had the words "Kansas Free State" paintei on his
wagon in large letters. This excited the indigna-
ton of one Ohio Hall, who jumped up in the wag-
on, and attacked Cantril nth a knife. He was
however prevented from doing much injury to the
man. so he satisfied himself with cutting the Gov
ering of the wagon to peices. Cantril had Hall
arrested. and upon the trial it was fully proved
that Hall had threatened to kill Cantril. The jus.
tice, however, examined Cantril MS to his political
opinions. and finding him to be in favor of keeping
slavery out of Kansas, fined him thirteen dollars
aud let Hal 90 free!
Harriet MARrrNEAu is in the last stages Of life,

though her physicians assure her she holds her
