THE PARAGUAY ExPEDIrIoN-The two new
steamers which we noticed as having beer
chartered recently for this expedition-the
Canada and America-are owned by Nelson P
Stewart, of Michigan. They are of / 300 ton.
burthen, with side wheels, but commodiou,
and staunchly built. The Memphis, one Of the
Cromwell steamers previously chartered, ha.
been rejected by the Department, and bel
officers will probably be transferred to the
Canada.
The chartered vessels in the expedition now
stand thus: the Caledonia, Westernport, and
Atlanta Of the Cromwell line; the Southern
Star, Of Richmond, Va; the Metacomet, Of
New Orleans; the M. W. Chaplin, of Philadel-
phia; and the Canada and America, men.
toned above.
DECISION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.-The
following decision has recently been rendered
by Attorney General Black, for Secretary
Thompson:
me In your communication of July 8, 1853 The
language Of the act Of February %, 1887 relating
to the subject under consideration is clear and
precise, and can admit Of but one Construction
The services Of the District Attorney In the ex-
animation Of persons charged with crime are to
be paid by the day, and not by the case and il
makes no difference how many cases or persons
he may examine In one day, he can charge but
ave dollars for the days service.
" In many instance persons charged with
crime, are arrested In localities where there is
neither q Judge nor u. 3. commissioners and
the examination must be had before some other
magistrate. The law can scarcely intend that
the District Attorney shall make such IN exami.

service is believed to be sufficient, the lowest
bid will be aecepted, il duly guaranteed, il
preference to a "star" or specific bid.
When tho lowest bid is not n star bid, and
specifics either no mode or an inadequate mode
Of conveyance, it will not bc accepted, but SGT
aside for specific bid proposing the neces

When the bid does not specify a modo OF

H65-A partizan spirit has already mani
tested itself in the State Senate, and will, no
doubt, greatly interfere with the legitimate
business that should press upon that body.
Black Republicans and Black Democracy
seem to bother gentlemen now, and takes up
much more of their time, than the revenue )
of the State, and other needful laws that
were neglected at the last session of the Leg
islature. More anxiety is manifested as to
what shall be the future political complexion
of the State, than for a good school law. 1t
costs the State double as much money, in
discussing the merits of parties, than for I'LL
the laws put together.
The ghost of the Miller and Shryocll con-
tested election case, has been invoked again
to haunt the Senate and drive business from
that body. 1t is to be hoped that all at
tempts to bring up these agitating topics, &c
the exclusion of more urgent business, will
be frowned down. Let IT'S have good laws
passed first, and we may be enabled to en-
dure'a few buncombe speeches afterwards

HORRIBLE AocIDENT.-A horrible accident
occurred at Rock Island, on Friday last. A
man employed in the -four mill of Gilmore
4 Baker, while passing among the machin-
cry was accidently caught by his clothing in
the cogs of a horizontal wheel turning an
upright shaft. His body was as quick, az
thought, drawn between the cogs, and thrown
out on the other side. The cogs caught his
bowels and literally tore them from his body.
His entrails with shreds of his clothing were
afterwards wrapped in strips about the wheel
and shaft. The engineer discovered by the
jar to the mach inery in all parts of the mill
that some accident had occurred, and imme-
diately stopped the engine. The man was
found lying on the floor in pool of blood.
He was conveyed to neighboring house,
and at one o'clock, he was sensible and could
talk, but appeared in mortal agony He is
doubtless dead before this.
