ABUSING TulNGs-It is highly amusing to
hear man, who twenty years ago used to tie up
his apprentices in his cellar and horsewhip them
for some slight offence, now say the gallows Is
tc. good for the very best STAKEHOLDER in America
1t is amusing to hear grsy.headed old man
who amassed his fortune in his younger days, by
keeping tippling shop, now say be would, had
he the power, imprison any man on whose premi
sos drop of tho poison could be found.
1t is amusing to hear an old deacon, who has
the faculty to pile up his wood for the market so
that seven feet will measure Q cord, propose to
expsl young grocer because he sold him thirty
ono ounces Of sugar for two pounds.
1t is amusing to hear member OF the church,
who, in youth, sowed his wild oats by the bushel,
propose that the church investigate the circum'
stances under which Brother Jones calls on Sis
ter Smith so often, innocsntly forgetting all the
while that ut takes q rogue to catch rogue"
1t il amusing to hear man who made his iIrs'
ten thousand by mere accident in speculation
now whine over the want of business tact in the
young meu of the present day.
1t is amusing to hear hardened old pollti
clan, whole political conscience is SO tough thai
you can make no impression whatever upon II
with the sharpest l1e Of honor to be found, sigh
with pious horror over the want of principle II
those who oppose his political creed.
at is amusing to hssr man, who has just bralr
enough to believe his wisdom and intelligence Ii
actually needed to help society along, pirate
about the weakness of womsns mind. You caI
see at once how strong his own must be, bu
cannot help wishing he had q little more powe
Of discernment, that would enable him to ss'

The MARY REEslDE CASE IN CoyGREss.-This
matter, 10 which alusion has been frequently
made recently, consists of a bill from the House
Of Representatives for the relief OF Mary Ree-
side. This bill proposes to pay Mrs. Reeside
about Slso.Ooo, being the balance due from the
government to her late husband for his services
in carrying the mails, with interest thereon from
December, ls4l. The case has been before
Congress for twelve or fifteen years, and the
bill now before the Senate was reported by the
Court Of Claims, and has received the sanction
of the House of Representatives. A long dis.
cussion took place in the U. S. Senate last week
on the claim, ir,which MesSrs. Bigler, Fessen;
den, Hale, Adams, Rusk, Weller, Wade, and
others. con,ended that the amount was justly
due and ought to be paid; while Messrs. Hun;
ter, Toombs. Bayard, Toucey and Stuart, denied
that the indebtedness Of tine government was
conclu,ively shown, and protested against i'm.

Claims. The bill was passed for giving the
grant without interest.--Sav Geo. 20
