decision cannot fail to bestow on
it great praise. 1t contains in
struction as well as beauty. 1t
was our intention to follow the
publication Of "Madeleine" with a
"Homc Story" written by our
self, but for reasons not, perhaps,
necessary to mention, we have
changed our intention. AT some
indefinite period we may publish
the "Home Story" In the mean
time, every week or two an orig
inal tale shall appear complete i'll
our columns.
TIL December number Of Co
dey's Lady's Book deserves more
praise than our room and time
this week will allow. 1t contains
tifty-one cngravings, and among
them is one called The Editorial
Slipper" printed in c~olors, with
this inscription on it--"Thc pen
is mightier than the sword."-
Cooley suggests to the ladies that
it is a nice chance for them to en-
broidcr a pair Of slippers for the
editor. The design will look
beautiful when worked, and if
any lady wants to try her hand
on Il pair for the editor Of the
Journal, we'll furnish her the de-
sign, bcsides-but we'll not offer
reward, just to see if some sweet

PLUNDERING PRAcTIcEs IN AND ABOUT CoS-

Richmond Enquirer, in detailing "some of
the plundering practices in and about Con
gress," says:
The most monstrous abuse of the mileage
SYSTEM and at which Mr. Houston, of Ala
bama, dealt very effective blow, is in the
office of the Sergeant-atArms. That officer
was charged with the duty of summoning
the clouds of witnesses that attended the
last session. and, although he never went out
of his office to make service, it is said that
he cleared more than $4,000 by the little

The eSergeant-at-Arm is allowed twenty cents
a mile coming to and fro for summoning wit
nesses. lie would readily obtain person to
90 the round, and summon large number
of witnesses in one trip, and yet he would
charge mileage for number of trips equal
to the number of witnesses. About fifteen
witnesses were summoned from the neighbor
hood of Fort Smelling; and 50 Sergeant-at
Arms charged mileage for fifteen trips, and
he was allowed it.
In the Watrous case about twenty wit
nesses were summoned, at one time, from the
distant state of Texas, and the Sergeant at
Arms greatly felicitated himself on the pros
pect of monstrous fee by charging for about
twenty consecutive trips to Texas. Mr.. HOus
ton, however, opposed this, compelled the
Sergeant.at- Arms to succumb, and saved the
Government nearly $4,000 by his unfiinch-

world. His term of Office expires two years
before that of Broderick. The electiUn to fill
Twins place occurs session after next, some
sixteen months hence. He is the one most
deeply interested with present events, in
stead of Broderick. Gwin has attached him
sell to the fortunes of Buchanan, and sinks
with him; both go out of office the same year
aug they will keep company together out of
Vulee. 1t is the friends of Gwin who are par
ucularly interested now--not the friends of
Droderick. There has been no necessity for
political fight in this State over Broderick );
