IHE NOBLE REVENGE.-Ihe coffin was
a plain one-a poor, miserable, pine coffin.
No flowers on its top, no lining of rose
white satin for the pale brow no smooth
ribbons about the coarse shroud. The
brown hair was laid decently back, but
there was no crimped cap with its neat tie
beneath the chin. The sufferer from cruel
poverty smiled in her sleep; she had found
bread, rest, health.
[ want to see my mother" sobbed a
poor child, as the city undertaken screwed
down the top.
"You can't-get out Of the way, boy
why don't somebody take the brat ?'
"Only let me see her one minute !"
cried the hapless, hopeless orphan, clutch
ing the side Of the charity box, and as he
gazed into that rough face, anguished
tears streamed rapidly down the cheek on
which no childish bloom had ever fingered.
O! it was pitiful to hear him cry, "only
once, let me see mother only once
Quickly and brutally the hard-hearted
monster struck the boy away, so that he
reeled with the blow For moment the
child stood painting with grief and rage
his blue eye distended, his lips sprang
apart, fire glittered through his tears, as
he raised his puny arm, and with a most
unchildish accent, screamed, When am
a man, I'll Kill you for that"
"There was a coffin and heap of earth"
between the mother and the poor forsaken
child, and monument stronger than gran
ite built in his boy-heart to the memory
Of heartless deed.

The court house was crowded to suffo-
cation.
"Does any man appear as this mans
counsel 2" asked the Judge.
There was silence when he finished,
until with lips tightly pressed together, a
look of strange recognition blended with
naughty reserve upon his handsome fea-
lures, young man stepped forward with
a firm tread and kindling eye, to plead for
the erring and the friendless. He was a
stranger, but from his first sentence there
was silence. The splendor of his genius
entranced, convinced. The man who could
not find friend was acquitted.
"May God bless you, sir. [ cannot"
~ want no thanks" replied the stran-
ger, with icy coldness.
"I-I believe you are unknown to me. %
"Manl [ will refresh your memory
Twenty years ago you struck a broken
hearted child away from his mothers poor
coffin. | was that miserable boy"
The man turned livid.
Have you rescued me then, to take
my life?"
"No. [ have had sweeter revenge
[ have saved the life of the man whose
brutal deed has ranked in this breast fo1
twenty years Go. and remember the
tears of friendless child scald the heart
that can wrong him."
The man bowed his head in shame, and
went out from the presence Of a magma
nimity as grand to him as incomprehensi-
bic, and the young lawyer felt God smile
in his soul forever after.

FROM WASHINGTON.
RAISING BUCHANEER SUPPLIES.

Correspondence Of The N. Y Tribune.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 8. 1853.
The work of taxation goes bravely on IN 'na
Government Departments in this city and already
the orerrorked recipients of Government patronage
begin to complain bitterly of the levy made upon
Neir salaries to carry on the good work Of prepar'
ing the way for the introduction OF Slavery into
the thriving workshops Of Pennsylvania BY the
election of Pro-Slayery Buchanan and bis satellites.
Now these poor clerks say they have no objection
to giving what they feel able for the success Of the
Democratic party, but when the amount they shall
give is fixed by official authority, it is rather more
than they can quietly submit to. But they have no
choice in the matter, they must either gre or Do
officially reported to the Secretary Of the Depart
meDt TO be entered on the Black Book kept for that
purpose, and from which judgment Is to DO Pro
nounced on all who refuse to give Literally, eJ'r
the elections. -
II is quite amusing to look over and see the Va
riey of excuses presented for not coming up 70 tho
rack. Here some OF them: -.
Large family unable" Heavily in debt-cant
give without defraudiDg my creditors; " Have y,
ready contributed more than feel abe 70 s,e
next month"
The following is a scene which occurred between
2. Clayton of Georgia, the Second Auditor, ana '.
w. Brown of North Carolina, sterling Democfa'
and brother of ex-senator Brown.
Mr. Clayton approaches Mr. Brown, WIN ron
hand aud remarks 10 him: " i see marked oPpo,
site your manufactures Is this correct ana
shall / so report it to the Secretary NO, oh'
il is not; il should be declines, not refuses"
Such il something Of specimen OF what Is dany
occurring in the Government Departments here.
Now no one objects TO clerks or any one else CIV
inc whatever they please to aid the party to which
they belong but when the attempt is made 10
coerce these donations by ceiat acts 1t is time the
neople knew IT, and if for other reason should
determine 10 hur from authority any party that
could be guilty of such petty acts OF dcspotism, to
say TIE least Of 1t.
II is presumed that not less than eighty thousand
dollars has been rased in this way in the Depart
ments here for electioneerDg purposes in Pennsyl-
vania.
The money is used, too, for the most base OBJ
iects-such as buying of votes and being placed 10
the hands of leading Democrats for betting Pur'
poses, in order to get up false impression Us 10
heir strength.
am told also by resident Of Maryland that
the game is endeayored TO be practiced OF cov
nizDg voters from Maryland into Pennsy lyanp
1t becomes every Pennsy lyanian TO be on the looA
out for all kinds Of fraud for it is evident from 'ee
sel.-cOnfdcnt spirit manifested BY the DemCcrauc
leaders here, that they will descend to any oss
means TO carry the election, they an admit ihas
if they lose Pennsyly in the State election, -
all up with them. A.,
Let each voter in Pennsy lyania remember 'h''
his vote may decide the fate Of Kansas.

The town elections just held in Connecticut e''
tablish beyond doubt that an overwhelming ma
jority Of the people of that State are IN iavef o'
FREMONT. The coalition between the Bucnahah
men and the Fillmore men, in behalf OF Which The
Hon EIsstus Brooks has abOred and is still laooi-
ing so zealously, had been consummated there ana
the entire Fillmore vote was cast for the Bucnanan
candidates at these elections except in few towns
where mixed tickets were supported by the COIL
bined parties. The result has been that the coal-
ton is totally powerless In the town of Madison,
for instance, ont of 900 voters only 81 were iouI'i
to sustain the Buchaneer candidates. And IN SO
towns, given by TIE Hartford Courant, comprising
NJ arly all where elections have now taken place,
"a give Fremont maiorities, % Buchanan MAORI
ties, and are divided COntrasted with the
results in the same places last Fall, the RfpuoH-
cans have gained in % towns, and The borier
Ruffians in l3. This has been accomplished with
great effort on the part Cis,he latter, and without
special e1ertions on the part of the former. Com
pared with the vote of last Spring the aggrega'e
gain of Freedom in these townsis 1000. Taxing
these facts into VIEW we are justified in saying tha'
at the election in November 10000 Is the least
majority that Connecticut will give to the standard
bearer Of Freedom.

A correspondent of The Journal Of Commerce,
writing from Canandaigua, laments bitterly over
the slender circulation and influence Of The
Journal in that quarter, and the effects pro-
duced by the "unhoy compound OF that trio Of

whose articles certainly do lack something of the

Archbishop Hughes has very properly taken
pains to clear himself, by card signed with ii.
name and published in the newspapers, Of any SUI.
picion Of being in any way connected with. or A,
indorser OF, the infamous calumnes on Col
Fremont, which have been set ahoat by the edior
of The Freemdn's JoarnaI-a paper supposed by
many. but enormously, as it now appears, to Be an
organ of the Archbishop. This is an example
which, as il seems to us, Mr.. Fillmore would Do
well to initiate. The public have much the sama
ground for supposing The Express to be the
official organ of Mr.. Fillmore that they had for
setting down The FreemGn'S Journal as the organ
of the Archbishop. Under these circumstances, it
seems to be duty which Mr.. Fillmore owes "a
himself and to the decOrum of his position, to clear
himself as explicitly as the Archbishop has-f he
can do so consistently with truthof all saspicion
of any connection with the dirty ealumnies Of
which Col. Fremont is the standing target aad in
which The Express riots with all the gusso q
hog in dunghill. 1t would be pity il, beside
DESTROYING bis character as patriot and man OF

can have in his retirement after his treacherons

The Court of Appeals has at length settled the
much vexed question which arose upon the statute
of July q. 1853, whereby the jurisdiction oil the
Marine Court was extended and It's Justices EN-
powered to hold General Terms at such times as
they might deem proper This act was so loosely
worded as to be open to three constructions. In
the opinion of some it substituted the newly
created General Term, in place of the Common
Pleas as an appellate tribunal, and thus made the
Marine Court court Of last resort for itself, and
hence co6rc mate with the Court of Appeals. This
was favorite view with the Justices who adorn its
bench. Others thought that the statute merely
gave an additional remedy to parties, and left them
free to carry q case up to the Common Pleas, as
before, at their option. This theory was adopted
BY the Justices of the latter Court, one Of whom
delivered an elaborate opinion to that effect. A
majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court on the
other hand, held that the statute must be- 80 con-
strued as to harmonic with the general system
which prevails in this State; that an appeal, there
fore. lay from the Judgment ola single Justice to the
General Term of the Marine Court, whence if al
all. it might be taken 10 the Common Pleas. Tht

For several months past letters have been pouring
in by hundreds and by thousands begging for some
thing conclusive the question whether COL Fremont
is or ever has been Roman Catholic. As we do not
believe that a Protestant is necessarily any better
than a Roman Catl Ole we have been inclined to make
light Of the matter. But the pressure has become so
great that we have finally issued pamphlet on the
