A question has been raised in Mississippi upon the
eeblity Of the Hon. jefferson Davis, now Secretary
War 10 the United States Senate, to which post he
was recently elected by the Legislature OF ms state
The objections arise on, of restricted meaning OF the
word "phabitant in that clause of the Constitution
Of the United States which directs that Senator OF the
United States must, when elected, be an inhabtant
of that State for which he shall be chosen. Mr..
Davis wss in restricted sense, an inhabtant OF the
District Of Columbia where he has resided as SeTe-
;aIy of War since the commencement of the Admni'-
ration of President Pierce. The point raised is that
he vas not nm "inhabtant of the State OF Mississippi
when elected. While Felix Grundy was Attorney
General of the United States and residing at Washing
ION he was elected to the United States Senate by the
legislature of Tennessee, and, being strict consruc.
sonst inteureted the Constitution literally, and did
not consider himself legally elected. So he resigned
his Cabinet Office, and repairing TO Nashville, where
h. became an nhabitant in fact was elected second
time 10 the Senate before be felt authorized to take his
seat. This fact is held up as precedent by those
who dispute the legality of Mr.. Davss election How
ever. II appears 70 be toerably well established rule
IN this country, that a citizen does not TECHNICALLY
OOse his residence by temporary absence from home
especially when he absent in the service oil the TOW
erpment.

DREAMING MATCH.

Sir Vim. johnson, who was superintendent
Of the Indian affairs in America previous to
the Revolution, received some suits of clothes
from England richly laced, when Hendrick,
king of the five nations of Mohawks, was
present. The chief admired them much, but
did not say anything at the time. In a few
days Hendrick called on sir William, and ac-
quainted him that he had a particular dream.
On Sir William inquiring what twas, he told
him that he had dreamed that he had gave him
one Of these fine suits which he had received
from over the great water. Sir William tool
the hint, and Immediately presented him with
one of the richest suits. Hendrick, highly
pleased with this generosity, retired. a short
time after this, Sir William happening to be in
company with Hendrick, told him that he also
had . dream. Hsndrick, being very solicit
Gus to know what it was, Sir William inform
ed him that he had dreamed that he (Hepdrick)
had made him a present of a particular tract
Of land (the most valuable on the Mohawk
river) Of about 5000 acres. Hendrick present.
ed him with the land Immediately, with this
shrewd remark:
Now, Sir William, l never dream with you
again, You dream too hard for me.'
The tract thus obtained is called to the pres
day, Sir Williams Dreaming Land.

WHO Gam DENY Tr?

THE Citizens Of WapeI,o County, and
l. that portion Of them who reside on thu
south side of the Demoine River in particular
and the Travelling Public generally who have
to cross the river we would say that il would
be TO their Interest and convenience TO prefer
the Upper Ferry known as sOvermans Ferry''
situated one mile west Of Ottnmwa; where they
shall be crossed at all times when the crossing
is safe and practicable with Promptness and
dispatch.
Our Ferry is the Oldest and most Regular
Ferry on the River in or about this vicinity and
is Justly entitled to the name of .sPermanent,'
always ready for a trip without wasting an hour
and sometimes endurihga total disappointment
as is the case very often with some other
Ferries). Then come on Ole and all. Those who
wish to cross by the year can do so, at very
satisfactory prices and those who wish to cross
by the trip can be accommodated at correspond.
ing low pr.ces the Ferry is now owned by
HIcKENLoopER and OvERMAN, and as 'JoHNo
is familiarly known by the Oldest Inhabitants,
and some of the new ones, as an sold Water
Dog" of the most amphibeoHs kind it should
be a sufficient guarantee that Customers will get

PATENT FIRE & WATER PROOF

T is claimed that this Roofing is superior to
L any other now in use, for the following
reasoLs: rsa
1st. 1t is cheaper than any other that will
answer the same purpose.
2nd. 1t is not injured by the atmosphere, nor
when covered for any length OF time with water.
It will neither scale or crack in the coolest
weather, nor flow or liquify in the hottest
weather.
Bird. III is not materially affected when used
as a promenade, and is TO a great extent a nom
conductor of heat.
4th. 1t will not color or communicate any
prejudicial quality whatever to rain water
falling upon it.
9Th. 1t is more durable than Tin or Shingles.
or than any other Concrete Roofing now in use,
being composed of the most enduring materials
known to the mechanical world, the most
prominent of which is Gum Shellac.
9th. 1t is the only material that can be brought
into general use, that will either make a good
Fire PROOF Roof, or what is equally desirable
in our towns and cities, a g0oa Fla, Roof.
We have purchased the above Patent right
