asked such question, and replied:
''Do you think, gentlemen, that am
heathcn, that you ask me such qucs-

Then, calling to a little girl, she said :
run and fetch the Bible out Of the

trouble, but she insisted that they should

The wild birds hush their song,
The hills have evenings deepest glow,
Yet Leonard tarries long

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DEcIsIoN.-An
important decision was recently made in
Broome Co., N. Y. A suit was brought to
recover damages for tho election from the
ears Of Mr.. Beebe, under tho following
circumstances: tf
MIR. Beebc had purchased ticket from
Newburgh to Addison, but on arriving at
Deposit, ho left the cars, being fatigued, to
lay over till the next day. The next day he
took the 10 o'clock A. M. cmigrant train
West, but left it at Great Bend, and took
the Day Express train. Ayers, the conduc.
tor, refused to recognize the ticket, and put
him off the train forcibly.
The jury awarded verdict Of $3.50 for
the assault. This settles the question as to
the right of n Railroad Company to abro-
gate ticket, labelled "good for this day
only" 1t shows that, when man has
paid for his ride, and has the regular ticket,
it shall hole good at any and all times. %

MORE Locoroco FRAuDs.-In New York
is to be found fine example Of the height
and perfection to which official stealing is
carried by Locofoco Office holders. Tho
Committee of the Common Council, which
has examined into the books and accounts
of the city officials, have made a report of
their doings, which is published 10 the New
York papers of the 23d. By this report il
appears that there has been official stealing
and malfeasance to the amount Of nearly
eight millions Of dollars, BY the Locofoco
Office holders of that city. Was ever ras-

The correspondent of the Missouri Dem
ocrat, writing from Lecompton under date
of November I'd, says that Walker has left
that place, ostensibly for Lawrence, but that
he is supposed to be really on his way to
Washington, and furthermore intimates that
he is no longer safe IN the territory--that
he is "doomed man" and "price is on
his head"--that he retains the troops guard
ing the State Convention, not so much to
protect that body, as to swatch that body,
and be prepared for any action which his
pro-slavery enemies may take against him y
The same writer also mentions the presence
of Geo, w. Sanders, of diplomatic notori-
ETY., and intimates that he in;imatcs that
he is to succeed Walker. "The combat

Amount of specie in the Country.

1t becomes important, at the present
time, to ascertain how much specie there is
in the country; in other words, the amount
of that currency which cannot be deprecia-
ted or in any way disturbed by any explo-
sions. The specie basis of the banks is
stated to be about sixty millions, and the
inquiry turns to the amount in general cir
culation among the people. On this point
the Philadelphia North american says:
We have taken the pains for our own satisfaction, tt
look the official figures for series of years, in order
to approximate safe opinion upon this subject, and they
develop results of striking interest at the present
in the most responding. Notwithstanding the
depletion Of precious metals during the last
years. it will be that the coinage in that period
exceeded the exports by amount amot equal to the
whole coinage during the preceding hftyeight years.
