Softly, Miss SALLr,-panissimo, if possible, until
you hear our reply to your complaint. We are like
you, in our admiration of the piano like you, in
teeming it ono of the finest Of instruments. What
hate about it, is, Let the ray people tune il,
and End, the 'say some others play upon it, or we
should rather say attempt to play upon it, We donot
so much grumbe at the general lack of execution, Of
brsncy, in amateur pianSts, as we do at the total
absence of either melody accuracy in their pcrfor-
manccs. Tho simplest air, we'll and astefully giyon,
is better far than the most difficult overture, half
murdered. Such is tho character of our sentiments
upon pianos and pianists; and We intended, by
the squib two which have attracted your attention,
to intimate that opposed to either per sc. On
the contrary wo like them amazingly, when melody
(not discord) appears to be their intention.

being one of the most important topics that will come
before Congress, give the suggestions of the Prcs
dent in full:
"I would again coll your attention to the construc
tion Of Pacific railroad. Time and reflection have
but served to confirm me in tho truth and justice Of
the observations which made, on this subject in nv
last annual message to which bog leave respectfully
to refer.
It is freely admitted, that 1t would be inexpedient
for this government to exercise tho power of con-
structng the Pacific railroad by its own immediate
agents Such policy would increase tho patronage
of tho executive to dangerous extent and introduce
system of jobbing and corruption, which no vgi-
lance on the part of federal officials could either pro-
won't or detoct. This can only be done by the keen
eye, und active and careful supervision of individual
and private interest, The construction of this road

of Keokuk in common with the whole
party press Of the State, when mention
was made ofthe swindlings, populations
and extravaganza Of the present State
administration, has been accustomed to
cry out "Dr. Eads," "Dr. Eads," hoping
by the cry to silence the mouths Of
the democrats.
Finally being cornered by the ques-
ton "if DR.. Eads has been guilty Of
the frauds with which you charge him,
why does not your Republican Attor-
ney General prosecute him l." to get
itself out Of the scrape it boldly aver
red that suit had been commenced
against him but as i'll luck would
have it, letter from Attorney Gcner-

that he had not yet brought an action
and promising to do 90 at some indefi-
mite future time. Now upon whose
