IN MEMORIAM--J. G.. CALHOUN.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.
Leaving the dust and excitement of the
city proper, bent my steps the other even
ing to Capitol Hill, seeking house which
is now tcnantless, situated opposite the north
east corner of what are called the "rcar
grounds of the Capitol" This is misno-
mcr. The front Of the Capitol is actually
to the east, the back being turned to the city.
This singular arrangement is an apt ilustra-
ton of the American character and of the
predictions of Calhoun, to whose memory
we purpose devoting the letter.
When the city Of Washington was laid
off, the ground front was eastward, towards
Maryland. The cxhorbitant price demanded
for lots by the holders of real estate drove
purchasers into the Potomac valley, immc-
diatel ly in the ''rear' of the original "p lot
for the Capitol. In this "valey" is now the
city of Washington, with its avenue, Presi-
dents house, and other Government build
ings. The Capitol, with its back turned on
all this, on the Potomac, on the public build,
ings, on the city proper, on the White House,
looks from its front out upon few dimiuu-
tive, scattered buildings, and at its north
east corner, upon the tenement from whence
the soul of John G. Calhoun, of South Car
olina, departed this world forever.
The evening I took my way to this shrine,
sacred to every States Rights man, was spen-
did and inspiring. Before me stretched the
beautiful Potomac. I stood on the terrace
where the immortal Southerner walked of
evenings, his arms folded, his back turned
to the North, the gaze of his deep grey eyes
bending southwark, and his great mind look
ing calmly and clearly into our political fu-
ture. Below me lay the city, busy with its
partisan strife. The Washington monument,
broken, unfinished shaft, barely reaches
the skyline of the opposite hills. The Capt.
tol behind me remains unfinished. The sun
goes down over the heights of Georgetown,
and the full moon "dividcs the day with
him." as she floats into the sky, shedding
down upon the Tomb Of Washington the
same light, which, in few hours later, will
silver the peaks of the Pyramids of Egypt.
1t was fitting time to visit the spot where
Calhoun brcathed his last. The house is
low, being only two stories high, and in 49,
| $3.50, 81, was occupied mostly by the South
Carolina delegation, with few select friends.
As you enter there is a large, airy, comforta.
BILE room. This was Mr.. Calhoun's apart
ment. Here he was accessible to his friends
and admirers, whom he received without for.
mality or ceremony, and yet with dignity
pleasing to those who approached him, and
part of the man and his high position. II
has been my good fortune to meet, personal

amongst them, the natural but majestic air
of Gen. Washington, when one observed
there was no man living could take liber-
ty with him. The sprightly and bold Nor
ris remarked, ri will bet dozen of wine |
can do that with impunity." The bet was
accepted. Soon after Washington appear
ed, and commenced an easy pleasant conver-
sation with one of the gentlemen, at little
distance from the others. While thus en-
gagged, Morris stepping up, in a jocund man.
ner tapped Washington on the shoulder, in
a very familiar manner, and said, ''Good
morning, old fellow" The General turned,
and merely looked him in the face, without
a word, when Morris, with all his assumed
elfrontcry, stepped hastily back, in evident
discomposure, and said, "Gcntlcmen, you
have won the bet, I will never take such
liberty again p' The writer received this

TARRING AND FEATHERING.

The punishment of tarring and feathering,
in popular connections, has been considered
peculiar to America, and alone practised by
the wings against the tories in the revolution.
The first instance on record in our country,
was OF the Sth Of March, 17775, SIX weeks
before the battle Of Lexington. 1t was prac-
tised BY party ofthc 47th British regiment,
on the person Of au American, an inhabitant
of the town of Billerca, in Massachusetts,
about twenty miles from Boston. The Sc
lectmen of the place immediately sent a
strong, but respectful remonstrance to the
Governor, which may be read in the Lon
don Remembrance, Of ITS. What atten-
ton was paid to this complaint, we are not
Informed, but the example having been set
by one of the highest British officers in A
merica, it soon brought down retaliation on
the heads of their adherents in America.
But the fact is, that tarring and feather
ing was practiced in England, four or five
hundred years before the cruel punishment
at BcllcTica. 1t WIS even sanctioned by
law in the reign of Richard 1, as the follow
ing extract from one of his enactments testi-
fees: 'If any one of the crusaders going to
Jerusalem, shall be convicted of stealing,
his head shall be close shaved like prize.
fighter, melted pitch poured upon him, and
then he shall be covered with feathers that
he may be known as thief. Afterwards
he shall be put on shore at the first landing
place made by the ship. With these exam
Piles, it is not to be wondered at that the A.
mericans, when sorel y provoked, should fol-
low the example of their rulers, and wish to
do more. The following toast may show it.
"May feathers AMI tar be their next birthday
suit,
And the block be the fate of North, Mansfield and
Butte"
In June, l775, two men were proved to
have threatened and ill.treated another for
taking the part of the executive committee,
whom they were abusing. The secret COM
mttee ordered these men to be tarred and
then sent out of the country. This having
been entrusted to persons of discretion, was
executed without rioting or other personal
injury to the offenders. But Drayton gives
several instances, some of which caused great
disquictude to the late crown officers and
The executive committee
now saw that the mob would take the mat
ter out of their hands unless Immediately re-
strained they, therefore, put stop to fur
thcr proceedings in that disgusting punish
ment.
