WASHINGTON MATTERs.-The Washington
correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing
Feb II, says.
Seen. Calhouns vindication of himself
and his fellows will appear tomorrow or Fri
day. Regarding the complexion of the legis-
lature, he will say that il the affidavits of the
election of Delaware Crossing precinct, W hich
have been published, are substantiated as gem
uine before Gov. Denver, and proved not to
have been made under duress, they will weigh
as proof as to the fact that there is majority
of Free State men but he " ill not issue GER
tihcates here. This is supposed to be trap
to catch Northern votes for Lecompton. CAL
houn is acting under the orders of the admin
lstration in this matter, and has said recently
that if the legislature was declared to be free
State, he would oppose the passage of the Lee
compton constitution. Speaker Orr and other
Southern men have recently striven for COM
promise, after this faahion-to admit Kanzas
under the Lecompton instrument; to &C.
knowledge the election of free State legisla.
ture, and of pro slavery State officers.
Then the Governor can veto any act for
new convention to change the constitution.
The existence of slavery in Kanzas will thus
be protected, there not being majority OF
two-thirds 10 carry a measure over the Gov
ernor's veto in the legislature. Gen. Calhoun
says that the pro-slsvery State officers are
elected by over two thousand majority. He
discards the returns of several counties sent
to Gov. Denver.

EXCURSION TO BosToN.-There was a special
train from Worcester to Boston, and back, last
evening, for the purpose of giving citizens an
opportunity to witness the performances of the
"Ravels,' at the Boston Theatre, in the panto.
mines of "The Milliners" and"The Golden Egg"
The price of the tickets for the excursion was two
dollars, including ticket to the Theatre, and
about one hundred and fifty persons awaited them

visiting the metropolis snd having a good time
EAToN's COMMERCIAL iNsTITUTE.-In these
dull times, when so many young men are out of
employment who have capacities for usefulness.
but yet can find field for their exercise, it may
not be amiss to remind them that the opportuni-
ties of obtaining employment, when business re-
wives, will be greatly enhanced, shonld they re-
solve to employ their leisure hours in acquiring
the elements of good business education, which
they may do by entering as pupils the well-known
commercial academy of Mr.. Eaton, in the Wor-
cester Bank Block, Foster street Mr. Eaton
has had large experience as a teacher, and the
success which has attended his abors is eyinced
by the Aattering testimonials of the graduates of
his school, which have been freely accorded
whenever they we're referred to upon the subject.
Pupils are received at any time. and they may
suit their own convenience as to the houts of at.
tendance for study; and we would advise all
young men of leisure, who are not attending any
of our public schools, to avail themselves of the
present opportunity to advance in knowledge,
and especially to lay the foundation of good
business education, which will certainly avail
them much in after life

THE PATENT LAws.-The New York Heralds
Washington correspondent writes under date of
Feb. II;
" An erroneous opinion appears to prevail re-
gar ding the several projects for amending the
Patent laws. The Committee on Patents have
not reported any bill Messrs. Taylor's and Chat
fees bills are simply propositions, which those
gentlemen have drawn up, neither OF them being
on the committee, and which they desire the com,
mittee to adopt The Patent Committee, how
exer. do not favor either of them. They, howev-
err are preparing BILL after full conference
with the Commissioner of Patents, and which
will be presented at an early day. The bill is
similar to the one presented by Mr.. Paine from
the Patent Comm ittee last year, but contains
some additional sections. One is to obviate the
necessity of stamping patented articles, where it
is impracticable; also provision for the protec-
ton of type-founders and others, as to the fraud
ulent copies of their dies by electrotyping, etc
All applications for extension of patents shall
be filed ninety days before their expirstions, and
the published notices sixty days-suggested by
Maclay and Cochrane. The general features of
the bill are-thdt it establishes a board of exam
liners for the purpose of securing uniformity in
the decisions. From this board an appeal is al
lowed to the Commissioner, who is to retain the
power he at present possesses 1t prevents the
concealment of applications for removals, thus
atfording the public an opportunity to be heard,

The FREEMAN's JOURNAL ON LEcoMPToN.-
The Freeman'S Journal, the leading Roman
Catholic organ in the country, is earnest and able
in its protests against the Lecompton iniquity
We quote from it's last issue
'Itis not our object to expose all the mistakes
of the Presidents lengthy message. The selfre-
spect OF freemen requires, however, that they re-
slst the attempts of executive power to hide
truth, or TO subveIt justice The King can do
no wrong, is a holy maxim of ancient liberty,'
Its meaning is not, as sycophants have urged,
that whatever the chief executive of nation or a
party insists on, shall pass for right; but that
treenea will not permit their ruler be he called
King, or Governor, or President, to use the pres.
tige and power of his office to violate right Be-
fore Kanzas is done with, the people of the Uni
ted States will have taught their rulers and their
representatives this solemn lesson
These few of the errors into which the
false road of expedency has led the federal exec.
utive. I'VE tired of Kanzes.' Yes we are
tired OF hanzas; but on this new issue we are, in
the question of Kanzas, fighting for own hearth
stones and for our affairs, When the liberties of
people are assailed, and despotism stretches out
Its horrid claws. the is full of voices, crying,
we aIe tired Of municipal corruption I'VE are
tired OF political agitation, public affairs take up
too much OF our time Then people take to
silks, and ribbons, and gewgaws they go to hear
hddlers and opera-singers; they eat, and play
and hunt for sudden fortunes and so thew lose
the independence of soul and the love OF freedom
that made their forefAthers heroes. Our country
is too young for this The whirlwind is begin

The CASE OF Col. WoLcoTT. New inter-
est is given to this case from the deepening
conviction that Col. Wolcott really expended
but small part of the money entrusted to
him by his Boston employees to assist Con.
gress in passing the tariff bill, but kept the
most of it for his personal purposes, and that
it forms the "circulating medium" Of Gard
ner, Wolcott, & Co.'s note shaving and stock
broking business at Boston. He is reported
to have put 100000 capital into that firm,
while but year ago he was clerk for Francis
Skinner & Co. b. F. Butler OF Lowell, one
of the directors of the Middlesex Mills, has
gone on to Washington, in their behalf, with
the view of following up this branch of the
inquiry-to discover if their money was really
paid out for tariff purposes, and if not, to re-
cover it if possible. Mr.. Butler will prove an
ugly customer for Woleott and his counsel, if
he fairly puts his energies into the case. The
sum received by Wolcott for disbursement is
authenticated as sos, 900, and it seems incred-
ible that more than one third of this was paid
outat Washin ton. The subject, it must be
confessed, is growing interesting in all its
points. Theremust be some blossom for so
rich bud. Springfield Republican.
