CT The Locofocos seem 10 have been
checkmated recently in some Of their high
handed violations Of the constitution and the
rules OF their own body. Having succeeded
very much to their wish in the election OF
Bright and Fitch to the L. s. Senate, they
adjourned TO future day to cleo, state prin-
ter, and other state officers. When they met
for this pur, ose, however, they undertook to
force the attendance Of quorum by issuing
writs OF arrest to the Sergeaut-atar --
Finding on reflection, however, that this ilIs-
gal exercise OF authority would subject the
officers to heavy damages, they backed out in
time and destroyed their writs. In the
meantime the Locofocos who hold the state
oa.ees have become alarmed lest the Legisa-
ture should gil their places with 'new hands,
and they therefore deny the validity of the
action of their Locofoco brethren Of the
Legislature, and declare their intention 10
hold on to their Offices in spite Of oil such
rascally movements Of quorumless Legisia-
tive Convention.
Locofocoism in Indiana is sinking so low
that the hand Of resurrection will never reach
il more.

eTEx. Governor Hammond, a regular
slave trade advocate, is to be the candidate
for Congress in the district made vacant by
the death Of bully Brooks - Gate City.
Very bad taste, neighbor To honor the
dead-or to forget their failings by throwing
the mantle Of charity over their errors, is the
duty of the gentleman and the principle OF
the christian. We are sorry to see you carry
political enmity beyond the grave. II this
was t,--as we sincerely hope it is-an I'M
premcitated expression, what treatment can
the living expect from you. None but the
African in his native state OF barbarity and
cannibalism, is guilty Of insulting the de-
parted Times.
We have not so learned our duty to the
departed. We never deemed it incumbent
upon us to throw the mantle Of charity over
the crime of Judas lscariot or to forget the
treason of Benedict Arnold. Nor shnll
death conceal from our eyes, or the eyes OF
posteritv, the infnmy OF him who in the spirit
Of a ruffan, and with the cowardce Of nm
assassin, struck down Senator in his seat in
the councils Of the nation.

A SMART WoxAs.-Fhe following incident,
narrated in San Francisco letter, has nj
ready been alluded to, but full particulars,
which have not heretofore been given, We
think will interest our readers:
ssThe ship Neptune's Car arrived Nov. Is.
Fifty days ago, Capt. Patten was attacked
with the brain fever, and for the last twenty
five DAYS he has been blind. Previous to his
illness, he had put the first mate of duty, on
account OF his incompetcncy. Afterward,
the second mate took charge Of the ship, but
as he did not understand nav CATION, the cap
tain's wife worked up the reckoning every
day and brought the ship safely into port
The frat mate wrote Mrs. Patten n letter re-
minding her Of the dangers OF the coast ard
the great responsibility she had assumed and
offered to take charge of the ship. but she
stood by the Judgment Of her husband, and
declined the offer. During all this time she
acted as nurse to the captain; studied medi-
cine, to learn how to treat his case; shaved
his head, and by her constant caro- and
watchfulness, kept him alive. She said thai
| for ffty nights she had not addressed her
self Few women could have done 30 much
and done it 30 we'll. She WAS ut once navi-
gator, nurse, physician, and protector Of TIT
/ property entrusted to her husband. The
/ matter has excited good deal OF interes
here, and, independent OF othep considers
tions, all nre anxious for her sake that tn
Captain should recover"

DErRAvEp LrrERATuRE IN ENGLAND.--From
a communication in the London Times, we
take the following extract showing the extent
to which immoral books are circulated in
England. We presume they circulate in
similar proportion in this country:
.eThe haunts of the lower classss are
flooded with literature Of the vilest charac-
ter. II was proved in evidence before the
House of Commons in the year 1851, that
the sale Of immoral and in6del publications
amounted to 90 ,0o0,0 900 annually. It's din
cult to take in figures, but it is appalling TO
be told by the Edinburgh Review that this
is more than the total issue OF the society
Off the promotion of christian knowledge,
the Religious Tract Society, the Scottish BIZ
bic Society, the Trinitarian Soc'ety, ana
some 20 religious magazines combined.
"lIandbills, too, and pictures OF De.
PRAYED character, were being widely spread
abroad. Thus there were sold OF the dying
speech and confession Of Good, l,65O,OO0;
Of Courvoiser, !, 666 900; Of the Mannings,
1000, 900; of Rush, $500, 900; and Green
acre, $3.50 900. The trash sold with refer
ence to the Palmer case must have greatly
exceeded any of the above Gales. Nor was
there any mystery MS to the way In which
such an enormous circulation was obtained
for these publications. Hawkers Piled their
trade i'm both town and country, and brought
their literature 10 the very door OF the la'
borer's cottage"

Or. Davis, on Saturday last, introduced n
resolution for the purpose Of forming joint
convention to elect an agent Of state, libra
rian, canal trustee, and state printer, All
these Offices should have been filled at the
meeting Of the General Assembly two years
ago, but the old line Senate would not con-
sent to go into joint convention then to
elect them.
This session they have had joint conven.
ton, as they call it, Of their own, by which
they declare they have legally elected two U.
s. Senators, and adjourned it to meet on to
day, ut O'Clock, r. NJ, to elect the above
state officers.
Under these circumstances the Republicans
Of the House refused to vote on this resolu-
ton. On Saturday no quorum could be had
on the vote to lay it on the table, nor on
Monday, but on every call of the House a
quorum was present.
On Monday evening, resolution was
adopted, less than a quorum voting, to COM
1 pei the attendance of the absentees.
The Speaker issued his warrant, stating in
l it that the arrest was made on account OF
| violation Of the constitution and contempt of
/ the House. By its authority the absentees
/ were arrested-not those who did not an
swer to the call of the House, and who were
not granted leave Of absence, but all these
who were not voting on Or. Davis resolu-
ton.
The majority of the House, upon rehec
ton, saw their error, and hoped to escap,
from their unjustifable proceedings, by al
lowing the arrest to pass without notice.
But he escape was frustrated By the cours
of the arr ested Republicans yesterday. The,
demanded specification of the charges mad
against them, and upon which the warran
had been issued. But these could not b
given, and the warrant itself, upon which tn
return of the doorkeeper should have beel
made, was nowhere to be found. Il Indianap

THR FABLE OF THE WANDERING JEw.--The
legend VI jew ever wandering and never
diving even from the crucifxion OK Jesus to
this day, has spread over many European
countries. The accounts, however, as in all
fables, do not agree. One version IL this -
''When Jesus was led to death, oppressed
with the weight OF the cross, he wished to
rest himself a little near the gate, before the
house of u shoe. maker named Ahasuerus.--
This man, however, sprang forth and thrust
him away. Jesus turned towards him, say
ing, 81 shall rest, but. thou shalt move on
until return" And from that time he has
had no rest, and is obliged necessarily to
wander about"
Another version is that by Matthias Pari-
seuis, n monk Of the l4th century. "When
Jesus Was led from the tribunal Of PLATE to
death, the door keeper, Cataflius, pushed
him from behind with his feet, saying,
"Wnlk on, Jesus, quickly; why dost thou
tarry2" Jesus looked at him grsvcly, and
said III walk on but thou shalt tArry till |
come" And this man, still alive, wanders
from place to place, in constant dread OF the
wrath to come"
4 A third legend adds that this wandering
jew falls sick every hundred years, but re-
covers and renews his strength, and hence it
is after so many centuries he does not LOOK
much older than septuagenarian. This for
the legends. Not one Of the ancient authors
makes mention Of such An account The
first who reports some such thing Is monk
of the 18th century, when the world was
filled with pious fiction. However, the story
has spread far, 50 that 1t has become pro-
verb s'lle runs about like n wandering
jew" But when their evidence 10 examined
by the test Of historical credibility, it II
found that some impostcr has made use OF
this to impose upon simple minded people
for some purpose Of his own,
