Speaker 0rr's announcement Of tho spec
ial committee on the Kansas constitution,
created much surprise. Parliamentary cour-
tcsy universally requires that the chairman
and majority Of a special committee shall
be appointed from those who vote TO raise
the committee. Mr.. Orr has disregardcd
this practice, and has appointed majority
on the committee from those opposed to the
special reference. The effect Of this may
be TO defeat the object proposed by raising q
special committee. He was waited upon,
according to common custom, by tho Anti.
Lecompton Democrats, and informed that
they would like to be represented upon the
committee by Messrs. Harris, Haskins, and
English--all able men. Mr.. Orr rejected
two of them. He was waited upon by some
of the leading Republicans Of the House
and informed that they would like to be
represented upon the committee by Messrs.
Grow of Pa, Tappan Of N. H., Howard of
Mich, and Sherman of O., all men pecu-
liarly fitted for the place by the positions
they have held heretofore, but Mr.. Orr re-
flsiag to appoint either of them. Mr.. Orr
will recollect that this act of discourtesy to-
wards the Republicans is not in keeping
with the conduct of Speaker Banks in ap-
pointing the special committee TO Kansas.
When Mr. Banks was waited upon by Mr..
Orr and Gen. Aiken, and other members OF
the Democratic party, and informed that it
would be gratifying to them to be represen-
ted upon the committee by Mr.. Oliver Of
Missouri he acceded to their wishes and ap-
pointed him.

.sNEake q Note OF It.n

While the St. Louis Democrat disap
proves of the disgraceful personal assaults
which are becoming so frequent in dcliber
ativs assemblies, and thinks that gentlemen
should find other modes and other places for
rsdressing thoir grievances, it suggostively
adds:
When assaulted, however, self-defencc is
au impromptu of nature, and all the fault
we End with Mr.. Grow is that he was not
more emphatic in his punishment. When
Charley O'Malley had gotten into muss,
and was relating it to his veteran monitor,
Considine, the latter lcctured him severely
for throwing wine glass at his antagonist,
saying that it was foolish and uuwise, but
thoughtfully added "a cut glass dceanter,
seized by the neck, woll aimed, and forcibly
thrown,I have known to do good execution at
Q short distance" In like manner we may
suggest to Mr.. Grow, that few bruisers
about the head have been known to follow
up knock-down very sdyantageoasly.-
Let him make note Of it, as Captain Cut
Ne would say, for future use.

WHOSE is THE GoRED Ox?-A few days
since The Locofocos in Congress wero ram
pant on the idea Of investigating the alledg-
cd fraudulent use of money from the firm
Lawrence, Stone & Co., in securing the pas
sage of tho late tariff law. In the House
on the 18th, Mr.. Hoard, of N. Y. said: "that
rumors were aHoat involving the rights and
dignity of the House, and asked leave to
offer a resolution for the appointment of a
Committee to investigate whether attempts
have been made by persons connected with
the Executive Department, or persons acting
under their advice, to influence the actor
of the House directly or indirectly, b,
promise or intimidation, or tho giving o
Withholding of patronage, &C."
Tho correspondent of the Tribune sai'
Mr.. Hoard's motion to Investigate tn
question Of Executive interference in Con
grcssional legislation fell like bombshe
on tho Democratic side of the House. Th
CONSERVATION it caused was positively Ii
dicrous. Members ran in all directions, an

wild Cat Banks.

"Stdnd from Undert" says a communi-
cation in the Meadvile Democrat (written,
we have reason to suppose, by one well
qualified to give warning,) in speaking of
the new banks organized in Pennsylvania,
under charters granted last winter.
1t ought to bo sufficient warning, for us,
here, to know that these banks arc looked
upon with suspicion and distrust at home.
Of the banks just organized at Meadville,
the communication referred to, states that
"the most of its stock is held by parties in
Buffalo, and the business men of our place
have no direct Interest in it. In Erie the
Brokers take the notes at five per cent dis
count, and in this place Brokers handle them
cautiously" and "refuso to gve them crcu-
lation by paying them out, but return them
to the bank, having no confidence in the
stability of the institution"
"Tho Tioga County Bank is another Of
the new batch. 1t is looked upon with sus-
picion, and is not received by our Brokers OF
business men,"
"An effort is being made to start one ot
the new batch in the wilds of McKcar
county, and it is believed, by tho Same par
ties" concerned in the Tioga County Bank
Tho Mexican Citizen says: Whether
they succeed in starting this rag machine
remains to be seem"
Banks in such bad reputo at home, arc
hardly deserving of credit abroad, especially
when it is known that no securities arc re
quired from the Pennsylvania Banks, fo
their circulation.
Look out for Wild Cat Banks B.

THE PROPHECY AND THE rULFILk-
r1EN'r.

Ever since the Messenger had an exist
enee it has declared that the democracy
we're aiming to make Kansas free state
that it would inevitably be a FREQ state il
left to their management. In his late mes
sage, transmitting the LecomptOn constitu-
ton, the President says that "Kansas is as
much slavs state as Georgia or South
Carolina" Behold the prophecy and mari;
the fulfilmentl This declaration of the
President will match we'll with another Of
his making, viz: that slavery exists in
Kansas" (and Of course in every other terri
tory of the United Statcs) "under the con.
stitution." After these declarations one
would suppose it impossible that the demo
cratic masses could be longer gulled with
the pretence that the party is tho party Of
freedom. But we have not doubt that
the Messenger will just as sturdily assert
the lie, and that the mass of its readers will
just as readily swallow it. Douglas will be
read out and kicked out of the democratic
party, and the Messenger will say--Amen

HON. G. A. GRnW.

The following sketch of the politicSl ca.
rser of Hon. G. A. Gaow is from the Bos-
Ton Bee. Just q, this time i. will be read
with interest:
Mr.. Grow was born in Windham county,
Connecticut. His parents emigrated to
Northern PENNSYLVANIA while he was yet
child. His father died when this son was
but three years Of ago leaving his family in
reduced circumstances. An elder brotherI
aided tho subject of this sketch in in OBJ
tanning an education at Amherst College,
Mass, at the age Of twenty-one, in the year
1914. In the fall of 1850 he was first
elected to Congress by a singular accident
in politics. The Democrats of the district
were divided, and had two candidates in
tho field, each claiming to be the regular
nominee. Eight days before the election,
both agreed to resign if Mr.. Grow would be
the candidate. He had left his Inv Office
the fall before by reason Of i'll health, and
was spending the summer, working on a
farm, blowing, peeling bark, and surveying,
Ho was waited upon in his retirement BY a
friend of each candidate, as committee ia
ascertain his feelings. They found him with
q set Of hands on the public highway, re.
building bridge that had been carried
away bv frcshet. He acceded 10 thciI
proposition to be candidate for Congress
and both the other candidates resigned and
Convention was called, which placed Mr.
Grow in the nomination just one week be-
fore his election. He was elected by 1880
MAJORITY, and in 1851 took his seat in the
House Of Representatives, the youngest
member Of tho thirty-second Congress, aud
with one or two exceptions, Of the thirty
<hird Congress also. He is now serving hi'
fourth term in Congress. The second tim'
ne was elected by $500 majority; the thir'
time. by q unanimous vote Of the district
he having received the unanimous nomina
zion Of all parties, for his able and nanl
resistance 10 the passage Of tho Kansas
Nebraska bill; the fourth time he was cleo
ted by q larger vote than be received whe
be had no opposition. His district, prev
Gus to the repeal Of the Missouri Comprc
mise, gave uniformly sbout $500 Dem'
cratic majority. but in consequence OF tn
noble stand taken by Mr.. Grow on the foo
al Congress, and upon the stump, befol
the pocplc, his district gave Col. Fromol
alrnoss 10 600 majority. When Coy. Banl
was running for speaker Of the House,
was urged to allow his name TO DO used

LENT.-What is Lenti when does it be-
gini are two of the many questions often
asked by the initiated, as to season OBJ
served with so much solemnity by Catholics,
and to certain extent by the Episcopalans
We find in the Painesville Telegraph a
Communication from the Episcopalian cler-
gyman there, in which the items are briefly
stated
"Lent is applied to the forty days prece-
ding Easter, which is always the first Sun
day after the full moon which happens up
on or next after the 2lst day of March; and
and if the fnll moon happens upon or next
after the 2lst day of March; and if the full
and if tho full moon happens upon Sun
day, Easterday is the Sunday after Easter
this gear is onApril 4th, Ash Wednesday
the first day of Lent, is the 18th ofthis month
Thus, six weeks and four days intervene be
tween the FIRST day of Lent and Easter
This would give forty-six days. But Sun
days are not reckoned--so that just forty
days intervene.
The season Of Lent is always devoted
to moro frequent religious services by thos'
who observe il. The first dag and the FRI
day before Easter, arc observed as days Q
] fasting. The name Lent signifies sprinI
or spring-fast 1t is from Saxon word
! Lentea-and is used thus because the day
. begin now to lengthen."

THE MESSENGER ON THE MESSAGE.

The Messenger came cut at first boldly
against the Lscompton constitution, and
the base attempt TO force it on the unwil-
ing people of Kansas. But we have no
ticed for some time past that its virtuous in
dignaton was oozing out Its last article on
the Presidents message is enough to con-
vulse funeral with laughter. 1t thinks
Mr.. Buchanan very nice man, but says
nothing either for or against his arguments
on Lccompton. Do the readers of the Mes
seager wish to know what this means p
We are happy to be able to enlighten them
The Messenger is fast to treasury tcat
that yields 5000 year. Mr.. Buchanan
pays Mr.. Botefur 5000 year to collect his
dues at this port. We shall hear no more
shrieking about Lccompton from the Mes
senger. How can it shrek with the treasu
ry teat in its dear little mouth9

croft was to have delivered to the Anti-Le-
compton meeting, had it been held on Fri
day evening, was published this morning
He holds that the Lecompton constitution
has no claim to the sovereignty in Kansas,
but by usurpation; that it had in no wise
the sanction of Congress, nor of the Presi-
dent, nor of the people of Kansas; and was
but cunning device to rob the people of
thoir sovereignty. Mr.. Bancroft exposes the
various frauds committed in the elections iu
Kansas. He denies that there is any pres
ent danger to the Union; says that there
is no insurrection or rebellion in Kansas
asserts that the supporters of tho Lecomp-
ton constitution have not one inch of Dem.
ocratc ground to stand on; and says that
there is no precedent for enforcing consti
tuition against the will Of tho people.
