PRAYER ANswERED.-The cold winds
howled dismally around the humble dwell
ling of poor widow, and the rain beat vio-
lenty against the easement. The few feeble
embera which burned upon the hearth were
insufficient to give warmth to the thinly clad
woman, who, pale and feeble from long i'll
ness, huddled over them. Her illness had
prevented her from pursuing her humble la
bors for two weeks previous, and her last
penny was gone, and her last crumb of bread
eaten. After brooding for some time over
her desoate and destitute condition, she fell
upon her kneese and poured out her griefs
10 the great Father of all-with n wavering
faith and feeble voice she prayed-Give
me this day my daily bread" At that mo-
ment warmly clad, light hearted and rosy
checked boy happened to be passing on his
way home from school. Hearing the voice
of the poor woman, he stopped moment to
listen-the first words that fell upon his ear
were "Give me this day my daily Bread" he
stopped to hear no more, but as if impelled
by some invisible power, he hastened TO his
home and informed his parents what he had
heard basket was soon filled and with
light step and happy heart he again ap-
preached the widows hubble dwelling
Softly opening the door he deposited his
basket inside and again closed the door be-
fore the widow arose from her devotions.-
On arising from her humble posture, with
what unspeakabIe deligh, did the eye of the
poor woman rest upon the basket filled with
rich articles of food. With grateful heart
they partook of the welcome viands, and with
rem ewed and increasing trustfullness in her
heavenly Guardian, happy and contented re-
tired to her humble couch. But greater was
the happiness of the lovely boy and his pa
rents, for they realized the truth Of the inspir-
ed declaration.-"lt is more blessed TO give
than to receive"

ASTOUNDING LEGISLATIVE CoRRUPTIoN.-.
According to report Of an investigating com.
mittee of the Wisconsin Legislature. synopsis
of which we find in the Madison (wis) State
Journal, nearly the whole Wisconsin Legislature
of 1856 was bought up by the Lacrosse and Mil
wauke Railroad Company, in order to obtain the
passage Of land grant. Such display Of
wholesale bribery is without a parallel in this
country, and we hope ever will be. From the
report Of the committee it appears that eight
senators received $4,000 each in stock or bonds
of the railroad company, for their votes; three
received $50, 900 each. and one S25 600; sum to .
tai. Sl65,OOOl Flfty-one assemblymen received
$4,000 each in stocks or bonds, eight received
$4,000 each, and one 500, 900, making 1855 900
for that branch of the Legislature The Govern.
or was paid $4,000, the Lieutenant Governor
$4,000, the Comptroller $40 900, the private
Secretary Of the Governor $4,000. one Smithn
8l0,OOO, and sundry officers Of the Legislature
$4,000 altogether newspaper editor $40, 900,
and number of other parties not connected with
the State government S246 900. The sum total
Of these extraordinary Tribes rs upwards of 1872
900 In the Assembly only four members voted
for the bill who were not paid, and IN the Senate
only six There were but thirteen votes against
it in both houses.
Byron Kilbourn, in his testimony before the
legislative committee appointed to explore the
decline and fall ST this company, terms bride "a
pecuniary compliment" When Senators Glenn.
ent and Sholes had an interview with Mr. Xii,
bOurn, we learn that in the course OF conversa-
with each Of them, 'the subject of gratuities was
introduced" When he wished to faint the source
OF legislation, he "caused it 10 be understood, !"
that, 'in the event Of the La Crosse Company
obtaining the grant, that company would &C.

sage"
In another place we are informed that the Gem
pany were willing ito. acknowledge the favor by
reciprocal act of liberalIty." Whether this would
bear the strict test Of morality" Mr.. Kilbourn
himself has some doubts, but he adds that he had
to choose 'between this and defeat" In his testi.
mony respecting his interview with Gov. Bash
ford, he speaks Of handing him $780, 900 in bonds,
in order ITO proptiaie his feelings with reference
to the future operations Of the company by an act
of such liberality as would reconcile him to his
disappointment" at the passage Of the bill max
ing over the grant to the La Crosse Company.
His testimony abounds with these delicacies Of
diction.

JUMPERTz-Further Developments, read
ers will recollect the arrest of Henry Jumpertz in
New York, charged with numbering woman
with whom he lived, at Chicago, and packing the
remains in barrel, which he sent BY railroad to
New York. On Tuesday the City Marshal of
Chicago discovered the trunks containing the
clothing Of the deceased female at the depot at
Lowell. They weresent by Jumpertz from Chi.
cAgo, and were directed to Mrs. Ebert. Middlesex
Village, "a place near lovely Mrs. Ebert, when
questioned in regard to Jumpertz who once Off
ciated as a bar Der in Lowell, produced a letter
which she had received from him, dated Chicago,
April LIST, 1858 in which Jumpertz complains of
being very lonely. declares that his thoughts are
with Caroline (Mrs. Ebert's daughter,) by day
and night, hopes that she feels more favorably to.
ward him as she did two years ago. and wishes her
permission for him to write to her.
This letter would indicate motive for Jum-
pertz to put his mistress out of the way. The
trunks have not yet been opened
Jumperz formerly lived at Lowell After
wards he was employed as barber in New Bed
ford, and the woman Of whose murder he is accus.
ed resided there at the same time From New
Bedford he went to Newport, and thence to Chi
cago.

TIE TIKI RTY. THIRD STATE.-The bill for the
admission Of Oregon into the Union, as State,
passed the Senate on Tuesday by vote of 80 to
II, and the House will undoubtedly concur,
so the American Union will soon number thirty
three separate confederated States, Minnesota,
just admitted, being the thirty -second. Although
the constitutions with which new States are ad-
mitted may not in all respects be as we would
have them. still, il they come in as free States,
with the Institution Of slavery specially prohibits
ed-as it is in Minnesota and oregon-theS are
to be welcomed with open arms, in the full conf
dence that whatever defects may exist in their
organic laws will be righted in time, when the
people shall have become wiser, in the progress Of
events, as they inevitably must.

FROM WAsHINGToN.-WG Washington, May Is.
Neither our government nor Lord Napier,
has accurate information concerning the re-
cent vlsltations OF American vessels by Brit
ish cruisers. 1t is supposed the latter have
exceeded their instructions, or that the pub
lished accounts have been very much exag-
gerated. Ii the transactions are as alleged, it
is not believed that they will be justified by
Great Britain. Our government has ad-
dressed a letter to Lord Napier, and will by
the next steamer forward instructions to Mr.
Dallas on the subject, and, from informal con-
terences held here, there is every reason
to believe that the outrages will be disavowed,
and the offending officers dismissed.
The House committee on elections, have de-
cided, by one majority, in favor of the admis-
sion of the Minnesota members, and will SO
report on Thursday.
The government has not vet received any
confirmation of the late Utah intelligence.
There seems little. if any doubt that Gov.
Cumming and the other federal officers have
gone to Salt Lake, judging from the circum-
stances. Col. Kane, few days previously,
had reached Fort Scott, after an interview,
probably, with Brigham Young. 1t is sup
posed the government has heard nothing
from Col. Kane; that he had such CONVEX
sation with Brigham Young, as induced the
latter to invite Gov. Cumming to Salt Lake,
with, view to a conference.
The Cabinet today resolved to reinforce the
home squadron by every available means.
The Colorado, which sailed on Tuesday for
San Domingo, goes out to make inquiries into
the insult and injuries to our Consul and Gil
liens on that island.
The Cabinet have determined to ask Con-
gress for loan of $15. 900 900.

The OTHER SIDE OF THE SEARCHES From
the many accounts, nearly Simultaneous, of
the boarding and searching Of our merchant
vessels by British men-of- war, there can be no
doubt of clear cases of outrage, such as our
government cannot pass over in silence. AT
the same time, there is reason to apprehend
that some Of the accounts have been over
drawn. Indeed, in enc or two instances this
is confessed. Thus the published statement
OF Capt. Gage, Of the barque w. h. Chan
dler, was accompanied by a narrative profess
eddy taken from Capt. Cages lips, represent
ing the British officer as having conducted
himself in a rude and coarse manner, as
peeplng into every part of his vessel, and as
having been intoxicated. Capt. Gage has
since frankly contradcted this statement, say
ing that his vessel ''was not searched, nor
did the officer conduct himself in an unbe-
coming manner. The statement of the cap
tain OF the brig Martha Glchrist also, depriyes
the boarding of that vessel OF the offensive
character at first attributed to it. Similar
notifications of some other accounts might
be the effect of more careful statements. STILL,
it is impossible to believe that all the British
operations in the Gulf for the past three
weeks, can by any method be Invested of
highly Objectionable and offensive features.
But there is another point, connected with
the above, which is well worthy Of being ia
ken into consideration. Our government has
pronounced the slave trade a piracy, and of
course has agreed to use all proper efforts to
suppress it as such. But we all know that
the slave trade has been carried on with Gu
ba to very great degree within the last four
or five years. 1t is stated that no less than
thirty thousand blacks were surrepttiously
landed on that island during 1867. 1t is
equally well known that most of the slavers
rely for escape upon the running up Of our
flag. Now if we are in earnest about our de-
sire to suppress this traffic, or mean to remain
true to our engagements and the language of
our State papers, it is incumbent upon us to
exercise our full share of vigilance, the more
particularly on account of the advantages we
enjoy from nearness and from facility to PEN
citrate the disguise of false colors. But, as a
matter of fact, we have been hagrantly delin-
quent in this duty. The British have detect
ed fifty slavers to our one. And yet the
traffic tourishes. Hence we see the Difficult
ties of our course of action we neglect our
duty, and that imposes similar neglect upon
England, or else the prosecution of it under
circumstances dangerous to the rights of our
commercial marine. Ought we not, there
fore, to remove all pretence for them by living
up to our protessionss While we are righting
our wrongs, let US also correct our own mis-
conduct.-Boston Journal.
