I Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June l2
Under the spur of an intimation that
the President would call Congress to-
gether again, both Houses set to work
in earnest yesterday, and one of them
continued in session until early this
morning. The Indiana election cases
engrossed nearly the whole sitting of
the Senate, and an adjournment was
finally carried with the understanding
that the vote should be taken this
morning. 1t is arranged that they
will be retained, and the spectacle was
quite refreshing, to see those who had
led the crusade against Mr.. Harlan,
swallowing their own words, and ex-
hibiting unseemly zeal in behalf of
Messrs. Fitch and Bright. Mr.. Bay
ard, Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee, who is opposed to the preten-
sions of these intruders, was conven-
icntly silent, and the contest was main
ly conducted by Mr.. Trumbull, backed
up by Messrs. Wade and Hale. Mr..
Seward took no part whatever, and
was content to appear as an outsider,
for reasons which are very well under
stood, and reflect no particular credit
on his course. Mr.. Pugh was the
most active champion of the claimants,
and deserves their lasting gratitude
Democracy will show in this matter,
as it has demonstrated on former oc-
casions, the facility with which pro
fessed principles can be abandoned,
and how much concession can be gran.
ted to serve party purpose.

In other cases small particles only
have fallen into the trachea, producing
irritation and gradual disaese of the
lungs. The alternate contraction and
expansion Of the muscular tube presses
the food downward through the car
diac ori6ce into the stomach. Here It's
presence increases the contractilc ac-
ton of the muscular coat, and excites
the gastric glands which secrete a
powerful solvent in the form of gastric
juice, and this, when properly mixed
with the food, converts it into soft
pulpy mass called chyme. This passes
through the pyloric orifice into the
duodenum where it excites an action in
the duodenum, liver and pancreas by
which mucus, bile and pancrcatic fluid
are mixed with the chyme, and 10y the
action of these different fluids it is
changed into fluid of whitish color,
called chyle, and into residuum or
waste matter. These are moved over
the mucons surface Of the small intes-
tine by the action of its muscular coat.
The residuum passes into the large in
testine and is carried out of the sys
tenn. The chyle is taken up by the
lacteals and transferred through the
mesenteric glands into the thoracic duct
through which it is conveyed into a
large vein at the lower part of the
neck. The chyle is the instrument of
growth for all parts of the body. We
have seen in considering the structure
of the skin that there is constant re
moval of waste matter, and here we
find counteracting force creating new
PARTICLES to supply the place Of those
removed.

Intellectual Character.


In late number of the .1fidntic
Monthly there appears paper on In
teliectuaE Character, which has given
rise to some discussion amongst
few of your readers, and on which j
would make few observations, with
your kind permission. The paper in
question takes high literary ground,
arguing that intellectual character,
unaccompanied by moral character, is
of inferior worth, and unworthy OF our
respect or admiration. Against this |
have heard seemingly strong argu-
ment urged; but maintain that the
principle of the essayist is true one,
and that it will yet be generally recog-
nized as such.
We are too much in the habit of
worshiping and honoring mere intellect
and genius, so-called, forgetful CT
what should be the end and aim OF all
great aud distinguished minds; and l
would fearlessly meet the arguments l
have heard friumphaatiy urged, and
say it is an unfortunate thing for the
literature OF our language that SO many
of its great names are those OF men
who have offered the worst. or the
weakest examples of life for the con-
temptation of their fellow-men. i find
those we admire and quote as the great
est geniuses, TO be almost generally
men of reprehensible lives. There
was Shakespeare, whose irregularities
aroused the uneasy remorse of his own
latter years. Goldsmith was a poor
fiuctuating creature. disrespected, and
Justly, by all who knew him. Swift
was sneering man-hater. Burns was
a licentious man who perished from
the indulgence of his passions and
strong drink; and the same may b
said of Lord Byron. Shelley wa'
hooted out of society, and Colcridg'
sacrificed tho better emotions ant

At the beginning of his career at
the bar O'Comell was retained a
counsel in an action between the city OF
W and another party respecting
salmon weir on the river. The cor
poration claimed it as belonging To
them; their opponents maintained n
was an open fishery. Little was
known of its history further than that
it was in the neighborhood of an an
cicnt Danish colony. But IL had al
WAYS been known by the name of ''thc
lax.wcir," and this formed the chief
ground OF legal resistance 90 the city's
claim. Able counsel was nrging il,
while O'Connell, who had TO reply
for the city. was anxiously racking
his fertile brain for a reply. Bnt little
relief came thence Lax" it was
argued, mcnt loose. and loose was the
opposite Of reserved, on preserved. or

corporation. Nothing could be plain

weir Though such reasoning might
not apply to corporations or constitu-
encies. } and no weir could have borne
the title Of lax If it had ever been
close one. AT this critical con njunct-
ure some one threw across the table to
O'Connell little screwed up twist of
paper, according to the wont Of courts
OF justice. lie opened, read it, and
nodded grateful thanks.
\ change came over his countenance;
tire we'll known O'Connell smile, half
frolic, half sarcasm, played about his
lips. he was quite at his ease, and
blandly awaited the conclusion OF his
antagonist speech. lie rose to reply,
with hardly listener; by degrees the
jury was motioBlcss, the lsck-lustrc
eve Of the Court regaihed its bright
ness; the opposing counsel stared in
amazement and incredulity, and
O'Conpell's clients rubbed their lrxnds
ia delight What had he done? Merely
repeated to the gentlemen Of the jury
the words of the little twist Of paper.
Are you aware that in Danish iachs

imagine with what wit and scorn the
question was prepared. with what an
air Of triumph it was put. and by
what confident demolition Of all the
adverssry's lar augmentation 1t was
followed. Whether there was then at

How the English Juggle is Regar-

From the london News, Nav 2s.,


From the London News, May -.
The Administration has committed
itself in a perilous way. Nothing but
entire success in kanzas--a success
which shall leave no opening for sec
ond thoughts-will avail to carry on a
pro-slavery policy into the next Pres
idcntial term; while failure will leave
the bribing party stranded In helpless
shame and exposure. That the sue
cess should be complete appears to un-
initiated persons impossible, after the
struggle undergone by the residents to
prove the fact of their being anti-slave-
nv men; but the initiated believe that
success NAV be secured under any cir
cumstances by proper management of
the elections; and the President has
probably acted on their promises
The voting is to take place under the
management of official adhcrents of
the government, chosen from among
the Border Rufiians, and expected TO
use the Border Ruitian methods of con-
Quoting an election, SO as to obtain re-
turns parallel with those furnished
from the stuffed ballot boxes of two
years ago-forgcd returns, guarded
polling places and violence along the
road. AS the President takes for
granted that the election will end as
he desires, there are no doubt com
mands received in Kanzas that it shall
end as the government anticipates
If it should so terminate, the end will
no more have arrived than it has now,
or than it had when Mr. Buchanan
announced its advent in March, 1857.
"A free republican population like
that of Kanzas are not to be silenced
by pretended election which they dc
not acknowledge; and if they are to be
won by rank bribery, the world will
be surprised, perhaps, but it will also
cease to care for the people concerned,
and will follow the cause to some fairei
field. Any way, the President and hi.
party will have no rest from the haun-
ting ghost which they perpetually de-
clare they have laid, only to find it in
front of them, whichever way they
turn. When the majority { which was
nine in each house was announced OF
the critical Friday night. Mr.. Seward
on whom many eyes were fixed, cody
remarked that the issue was not dis
couraging. This division must b,
either last defeat or first victory
and there was little to choose between
them. There were others in Wash
ington that night who observed, wheI
they heard the salutes and canonadins
of the jubilant southern victors, tha
they were firing volleys over the grav,
of their party. The analysis of tn
votes in the House of Representative
is curious, as showing the extrem
point that could be attained by tn
pro-slavery section, with all the ad
vantage of President and Admins
tration bound in complete subservienc
to it, and on an occasion so critical a
to call for all the arts and devices eve
put in action by an Executive richer il
patronage than perhaps any other il
the world.

GODS DISCIPLINE WITH MEN.

WIS D1S, III btNb VIII sHhsass
In time of war, when men left !
their dwellings, there lay. unused, in
an old mansion a stately instrument Of
music-a piano. The dust covered IT,
and little by little the weather contrac-
ted and expanded it till the wood had
cracked. The different strings of the
instrument were out OF tune with each
other; so that not one of them was
right. By-and-by peace was declared,
and the long-exiled owner returned TO
his house. On coming home, looking
about him and seeing everything out
of order, he cleansed the kitchen,
cleansed the parlor. cleanscd the va
rious rooms through the house, and at
last he saws, Il will have this insfra-
ment put in order" He sends for a
tuner, who comes and looks at il and
says, az noble instrument, indeed; by
one of the best of makers" He opens
the lid; and the dust flies mp in clouds.
sadly neglccted-but noble instru
ment!" He looks through it. runs
through the scale, and begins to dust,
to cleanse, and to tune it. Taking
first the central note, oh, how wretch
edly that is out of tune. But he takes
his tuning-fork, and brings up the
note to its right place. Then he brings
up the next string, and then the next.
and the next; and so he goes all
through-hats and sharps and all
from top to bottom, bringing every
note up to its proper pitch. During
the time that he is correcting it, no
body wants to stay in the roo:1; but
by-and- by, when he has set il all right.
he sits down and tries it; and aS he
begins to play, the first full chord is
grand! Then as he takes one of
Bcethoven's harmonies and begins to
play, the servants run up; the children
stop in the midst of their sport to hear;
everybody stops to listen. or comes to
the door! The people that went out
of the room come back and ask.
"What magnificent instrument is
that" All, it is that wailling instru-
mcnt that drove YOU out. That j.
what it is, now chorded! And if it
were Beethoven himself who sat at it
to play out the swelling of his own
soul, how majestic would those mel
odies have been. and how magnificent
"as an army with banners" would have
been the march of all those accordant
harmonies! o, you are instruments OF
music long neglected, sadly unstrung
and discordant. God has already
taken hold of you, and brought some
of the principal strings up to concert
pitch, and ne is bringing one after
another to that. By-and-by, when
men say that your heart-strinss have
broken, God will say, "No; it is moth
ing but the last touch in chording.'
And then, when every faculty shall
have been attuned, God shall bring
joys like music into your soul, such as
YOU never thrilled to before, DO not
be impatient of it! Have patience
with God while he is tuning you,-
Byand-by, when the work is done,
YOU shall thank God for ever and fol
ever, that he was willing to take sucl
a shattered, wretched instrument, tc
to bring it into tune, and to let it
t notes minglc with the harmonies o
: the eternal world.
