INTERESTING TO LAwYERs.-A few
days since, in the High Court of I'm
peachment, Mr. McKune alledged some
principle or other to be "against one of
the sagest maxims of the law, which
does not allow a man to derive a beae-
fit from his own 1aoney''
We were aware that, practically, the
law cnforces doctrine similar to this,
but we never saw it laid down as a max
i'm before. We consulted a legal friend
on the point as to whose money we were
allowed by law to derive benefit from,
and he, says Mr. McKune's maxim aint
good law. "Who shall decide, when
lawyers disagreed" We propose, so
lorS as the matter continues unsettled
10 derive benefit from all the money we
can get hold of. Our legal friend also
suggests that the word ''money," in the
maxim quoted, is mistake of the prin-
ter; that "money" should be "wrong"
But if money should be wrong, then
money IS wrong and if money is
wrong, then money is right But on the
other hand if money should be wrong
then wrong is right - and money being
wrong Of course is right = which brings
us out of the same hole we went in at,
and leaves the whole thing mixed
NcKure must explain.
TRG WEATHER This ever present
theme - this never failing remedy for
constipation in editorial craniums-
would be, at present, a fit subject for
the immortal poet who sung of the glo-
rious cline where eternal summer
gilds the Isles of Greece" 'Italia's
skies . were never brighter than those
which are now shining over Us, and if
the dod-rotted thing would only hold
out, we might claim that the "clime of
the Vest, was the LAND of the sun.
Pretty soon, however, the skies will get
to weeping again - and natures face
will be as dirty as the very devil"
We hear from Alpha, that Rich is still
alive. The examination of Nevis is

The meeting of merchants at Rohan's Hall,
on Wednesday evening, in reference to the I'M
equal and unjust taxation of the mercantile in,
terest, was not so well attended as the import
ance of the subject seemed to warrant, and the
opinions expressed and means proposed were
not characterized by sufficient unanimity.
The memorial of the Board of Trade Of Rich
mond, Va, upon careful perusal, We find is
fully adapted to the necessities of the case, as it
defines precisely the amount of tax imposed on
the mercantile interest, showing the disparity it
bears 10 that on the same amount of capital in
vested in other pursuits, and requests such a
reduction as shall place the mercantile interest
upon unequal footing with other branches of
industry.
1t strike us that the committee appointed to
correspond with the Board of Trade of Rich
mond, would do well to adopt the memorial OF
that Board, verbatim, expressing the same
views, and desiring the same redress. BY this
means u concert of action will be established,
which cannot otherwise be attained, and the
mercantile interest throughout the State will
easier comprehend the object desired. Without
unanimity of action nothing can BE- accom-
plishcd. ODs.wvER.

SHORT STORY BY DIokESs.-Dickens tells tn,

SHORT STORY BY DIcKExs.-Dickens tells the
following story of an American sea captain:
On his last voyage home the captain had on
board a young lady of remarkable personal at
tractions-a phrase L use as one being entirely
new, and one you never met with in the news
papers. This young lady was beloved intcsely
by five young gentlemen passengers, and in re
turn she was in love with them all very adently,
but without any particular preference for either.
Not knowing how to make up her determine
ton in this dilemma, she consulted my friend
the captain. The captain being n man of an
original turn of mind says to the young lady (:
Jump overheard, and marry the mar who jumps
after you. The young lady, struck with the
idea, and being naturally fond of bathing, es-
pecially in warm weather as it then was, took
the advice of the captain, Who had a boat man
ned in case of accident. Accordingly neXtmor-
ming, the five lovers being on deck, and looking
devoutly ut the young lady, she plunged into
the cea head foremost. Four of the lovers i'm
mediately jumped after her. When the young
lady and her four lovers were got out again, she
says to the captain: 'wh1t am to do with them
now, they. arc so wet?' Says the captain,
take the dry one I" Aud the young lady did,
and she married him.

Mrs. SENATOR DouGLAs.-Tt is stated on that

lady takes a most lively interest in her husbands
political fortunes, and that in addition to inhu-
encing him to cut down his drinking and tobac-
co using TO short allowance, and to dress in good
taste, she has rendered him important service
in augmcnting his pluck and strengthening his
back bone for the attitude of hostility toward
the Administration, in which he is now placed.
She is said to::be exceedingly ambitious, and to be
a thorough social dipIomatist; exerciSinga con-
siderable degree of talent and force in futheriug

AZ INPORTANT DocUMENT.-The leading item
by the mails on Saturday, was the resignation
of Robert j. Walker, as Governor of KansaS:-
cause why-to save his head from the admins
~trntion axe, just impending and ready to de-
seend, if he offered to go back to Kansas. The
cause of which position of the official axe will
be found set forth at length in some remarks
under the editorial head: but for the sake of ex-
I~actness and authority we extract the reasons
Gov. Walker gives.
Speaking of his own acts and pledges guaran-
tying a full and free vote to the people, and of
the tlirn-about by the administration, he says:
These pledges | cannot recall or violate with
out personal dishonor and the abandonment of
fundamental principles. and therefore it is i'm.
possible for me to support what is called the
LrcomptoD Constitution, because it is not sub
United to n vote of the people for ratification or
rejection. l have ever uniformly maintained
the principle that sovereignty IS vested exclu-
sively in. the people of each State, aud that it
performs its first and highest function in form
ing a State Government and State Constitution.
This highest act of sovereignty, in my judge
ment, can only be performed by the people
themselves, and cannot be delegated to ConTen-
tons OF other intermediate bodies.
