"Emerson's Magazine ana Putnam's
Monthly" graccs our table. This is the
title OF the two magazines as now uni

were separate. AS a magazine Of true

u. s. SENATORS Hon. James A. Bsyard
and DR.. Martin w. Bates have been elected to
the u. S. Senate by the Delaware Legislatures;
the former for the long term and the latter to
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF Hon.
John NJ. Clayton, which has been temporarily
filled under the Governors appointment, by
Mr.. Comegys Of Dover. Quite an opposition
was made by the friends of Messrs. Riddle and
SALISBURY, but the "two b. like their ma
tional prototypes, were successful.
The election of these gentlemen will give
satisfaction, and be endorsed by nine tsnths o.
the people in the State.
Mr.. Bayard has attained high reputation al
a statesman, and represents his constituent
with ability. Mr.. Bates is a gentleman o
great legal knowledge, unexceptlonable mora
character and well deserved the position givel
him by his party for his long and answering
devotion to it.

SAVING BANK.-We understand that there ls
a project on foot to establish Saving Bank in
Smyrna, and that a memorial for a charter, to
GO before the Legislature, is now being pre-
pared, and will be laid before our citizens for
their signatures in few days. A charter al
lowing capital stock Of $40, 900, with privilege
of extending it to $lOO,OUO, will be asked for.
No notes will be issued by this Bank, if estab-
lished but it will do business with the notes of
other Banks with which contracts will be made.
Money will be loaned by this Institution as by
other Banks but, unlike the latter, it will pay
q per centage on all monies deposited-thus
affording an opportunity to those VINO are ac'
customed to laying their money in their draw
ers, of continually deriving benefit therefron
by deposi'ing it here. Saving Banks are valu
able wherever established, and we are certair
that such an Institution will be highly prizeG
by our entire community. This project ha
been started by some of our most wealthy citi
zens, and there is no doubt about raising tn
amount of capital. Nothing but the grantiR
of charter by the Legislature is at present i
the way.

LoBBYINo AND CORRUPTIOS.-A discovery
has been made of extensive bribery among
members of Congress, and committee has
been appointed to fully investigate the matter.
ln relation to the bribers and the bfibed, the
New York Express says: The sun shines, but
nobody can prove it. Nobody has ever been
up to the sun. Philosophers even dispute what
the suns rays are made of,-how they come to
US, and whether there is any heat in the sur
iiself Nevertheless, everybody believes the
sun shines, and knows it is holland every
body believes,-rascality exists among certain
members of Congress.
Whether this ruscality can be established
depends much upon the earnestDess and tact o
the House Committee appointed. To enable
them to do anything at the start, Congress mus
enlarge their sphere of action, and embrace
past sessions of Congress as well as the pre-
seat. The field Of examination should be
thrown wide open, and no honest Congressman
ought to object to it. The people want a his
tory of all the extraordinary jobs that have
been before Congress for six or eight years.

Mr.. Editor:-In the Times, see, you have

native State, Delaware-one by Zach. Med.
Roberts, of Appoquinimink, weighing 8 lbs,
and another by L. Foxwell, Of Kent county,
weighing IL lbs This speaks well for the
soil of Delaware, its fertility, &c , and reflects
credit upon the gentlemen named; but, in
the growing of vegetables, the North West
cannot be taken down." particularly in size.
For instance, Turnips are often seen here,
weighing each Is lbs. and upwards; besides,
saw at the fair of Pierce aud st. Croix coun-
ties, last fall, Red Beet that weighed Is lbs.
and ounces, raised by IA Shudduck. This
beet grew in u sand bank that was taken from
the bottom of a well over 40 feet deep. Now,
what must have been the weight OF this beet
had the seed fell on the tllable soil Of WIscon-
sin AT the Fair, | also saw a Squash that
weighed 81 lbs; and, another weighing lO4
lbs. was, sometime since, taken to the office OF
the Transcript. But, these are small matters,
it is nothing new to hear of a Baby weighing
40 lbs at months old This is the greatest
country for babies in all Christendom
The weather is cold; seighing good; snow
about 10 inches deep; wind northwest-blOw-

EDUCATIONAL CONVENTIONAL large meet
ing of the friends of Education was held in
Dover, on Thursday. A deep interest seems
70 be awakened on this subject. The discus
sions were very animated, and we expected to
have given them to our readers in this issue,
but the embargo laid on the mail by the late
storm prevents. We understand, recommen'
da,ion, were adopted for re-districting the
State and for the appointment of superinten
dents. The members of the Legislature are
said to be in favor of important alterations il
che entire system of public schools.
