comsuPuoS N THE WEsT.-Our Nebraska
correspondent, in the letter which we publish
this morning, furnishes us with quite glimpse
into corruption in high places One would
suppose that, 50 far away towards the setting OF
the sun asNebrasLa, the conceptions of crowded
thoroughfares would not yet have come. The
Territory is, as yet sparscly settled, yet the pic
ture he presents discloses an unusual amount of
venality and unprincipled political huckstering.
Some exchange, not long since, very pertinently
healed m article, "rhe degradation OF +Aineri-
can politics. 1t is even so; for every newspa
per We take up contains some rurnor orauthori-
tative statement about the moral obliquity Of
some member or members, either Of our State
or National Legislatures. 1t is openly charged
In a New York Journal that three noted bull
lies and ballet box suffers were sent to the
New York Legislature by the various rowdy
cliqnes in that city, such as the short boys"
&C. These men, it is charged, are ignorant, de-
graded and faithless
But 1T seems, by the letter of our correspon-
dent, that corruption is not confined to ''short
hoy" rowdies and ignoramuses, but extends to
high, learned, and acute officials. The specimen
of scrip signed by our worthy Lieutenant Gov
eruor, is ground enough at least to ask the ques-
1ion as to what that gentleman is doing in Ne
brasl,a, signing his name to. such scrip, when he
still holds the second highest Office in State?

We are pleased to notice the favorable
light in which the Lectures of Rev. H.
G. Comingo on Rome are regarded by
the pnblic and by the Press, wherever
they have been delivered.
The Coshocton Democrat of the 22nd
inst. discousres thus
LECTURES ON RoME.-The introducto-
ry lecture of Rev COmingo, last evening
on Rome, was exceedingly interesting
though owing to the inClemency of the
weather, the audience was not so large as
should, or otherwise would have BEEN
Mr.. G. is pleasant speaker, his manner
is engaging, and is sometimes very elo.
quent, and no one. at all interested in an
cient history, or the modern condition of
Rome, Can fail 10 be interested and in
struced by these lectures. ts
In the same paper we find the follow
ing statement of the Ordination &c., Of
Rev W. E. Hunt. Mr.. H. formerly re,
sided in this city.
ORDINATIoN,-At the late meeting Of
the Presbytery Of Coshocton, Mr.. VIM.
E. Hunt, received end accepted unani-
nous call to the Pasorage of the First
Presbyterian Church of Coshocton His
ordination took place on Wednesday
night, and the installation was appointed
for Thursday, May 18th, at | 1 o'clock.
We think the Church and Congrega-
ton are fortunate in securing the minis
tratons of this able and eloquent young
clergyman. He seems to possess deep
interest in the subjects of his sermons,
manilests proper zeal in his profession,
and enterlains correct views of the duties
and responsibilities of his position. If
his efforts are properly and prayerlully
seconded by the Church. wide and sue
cessful career of usefulness is now open
before him.

The British Premier and the U. States.

The British Premier and the U. States.
Lord Palmerstcn, in the.course of
speech which he recently delivered al
Tiverton, thus alluded TO The course per-
sued by the American authorities in Chi.
na:-
"We are often told TO look 10 our Cou-
sins in The United States, as models of
conduct, and there are some things in
which they might just as well look to us
Ga laugh), but if we beg of the all
vocales of peace 10 address themselves
with eyes right" 10 the United States,
pray what did their Commander do in
this great difficulty in China in compari-
son to our officers, civil and naval!
Why, there was boat belonging to
one of their ships of war fired at. Well,
that was a great insult, but there might
have been an excuse made for it that we
were engaged in these hosliilies with
China, and it might have been said that
this American was taken for an English
boat. 1t is true. the officers in that boat
waved the American flag, but the Chi.
nese might have said that is a well known
strategy of war, and you wave the Amer
ican flag to deceive us ; we believed it
was an English boat, and therefore fired
at it. But did the American commander
like Sir Michael Seymore, and Sir John
Bowring, demand an apology, and de-
mand that similar thing should not oc-
cur again.
Not the least in the world. He inver-
ted the usual course which is said to be
characteristic of energy-a word and a
blow-he put it thus-a blow and word
Cheers and Laughter He began to knock
down the fort, and after destroying the
fort, he sent 10 the Commissioner to say
an insult had been offered to his flag {;
and he hoped for an apology, (cheers) and
ar assurance 10 the effect that it wouldn't
happen again, (cheers) and he gave twen-
ty-four hours for this apology and expla-
nation to be sent to him but before
these twensy-(our hours had expired the
ship which was lying near this fort saw
something or other going on, which the
officers shrewdly imagined were for re-
newed defence, if not for renewed attack.
Well, this American officer, without
waiting and writing to the United States
TO know what he should do-wilhout
waiting for orders from Washington-he
did not wait even for the twenly.four
hours to expire, but he said, "No, no,
Mr.. Chinamah, this won't do; you are
throwing up fresh batteries, and putting
in fresh guns" and he commenced the
demolition of the fort and took possession
ofthose guns before the time had expired
which he had given the Chinese Com
missioner in order to make his apology
and explanation" (Cheers.)

GREAT ExcITEMENT IN STEUBENvILLE.
Not SO much amongst the Bankers,
Merchants and Mechanics, but at the
DAGuERREAN Rooms Of WEISER and
DELANO.
These gentlemen have for the last
week been doing business far beyond
anything in that line, ever before witness
sed in this city. The reduced prices for
which they are taking hkenesses. together
with the perfect style in which the work
is done, have produced general excite
ment in the entire community, and caused
general rush to their rooms. We very
much doubt whether any other city can
boast Of two better artists.
Go then-you who are not afraid to
look at yourselves precisely as you are,
and get your likenesSes taken for 25 els.
and then get one for each and every
country cousin you have in the nation.
