not be qualified correctly as the 'impulse
OF momentary passion" The first was
prompted by determination TO defend the
honor and character of my son, as dear TO
me as my own, against an attack so gener-
al in IFS terms as necessariyto to include him;
and the second was the exercise of my
right to rectify misrepresentation of my
own remarks.

The tax OF New York for 1859 has Just
been submitted 10 the Common Council,
and the sum total reaches the astounding
aggregate of nearly eight millions of dollars.
Oi this amount, in round numbers, million
is devoted TO the police, a million for water
eight hundred thousand for the poor. a mil
lion and quarter for schools, million and
a half for streets, half a million for lighting
the streets, and six hundred thousand for
salaries. The expenditures of the State of
New York are much less than those of the
city, being only about five millions.

Sm:-Your note Of this date has Just been
placed in my hands. ] admit, without
hesitation, yonr right and daly to do justice
to the reputation OF your son. At the same
time maintain my right, in the discharge
OF my duty as Senator, TO comment freely
and fully on the character OF Executive ap
pontments, especially in my own State
! deny, however, that my general remarks
in relation 10 the list of Illinois appointees,
confirmed by the Senate during my absence,
could be fairly interpreted 10 imbrace your
son. When you seemed so to construe
them, promptly replied that what had
said OF the Illinois appointments was true
as general rule, but there were exceptions,
among whom recognised some of my own
friends. Abiding particularly 10 your son,
| added that had nothing 10 say in regard
TO the merits of his appointment, choosing
10 leave that question where placed it by
my remarks 10 the Senate during the last
saasinn, in your presence, at the time of his
confirmation. lon now admit that you un.
derstood this explanation TO exempt YOUR
son from The application of my general re .
marks; and yet, you have failed to withdraw
the offensive language, but, Oh the contrary
at subsequent stage Of the debate, when
apologizing for breach of Senatorial de.
corum; you expressly declared that you had
noihiag 10 retract-thus appearing, in my
apprehension, 10 re-afiirm the Objectionable
words.
As TO the other ground of offence admitted
in your reply TO my note, have to say that
! did not understand you TO assume 10 cor
rect me in quotation of your language as
was unconscious OF making any such ci,a.
ton, but 10 repeat the original offence in
another form; otherwise, would have
made proper response on the instant
This explanation, which is due alike 10
us both, on the points presented in your re.
ply, affords you another opportunity of
Withdrawing the offensive words which you
admit you applied 10 me in in yesterdays
debate

ALWAYS Boil Milk FOR CoFFEE.-Those
who use uncooked or raw milk in coffee have
no conception of the decided improvement
there is in previously boiling the milk. To
our taste there is as much difference be-.
tween unboiled milk for coffee, and that
boiled-ifnot scorched-as there is between
a raw and a cooked beefsteak. We confess
10 having never yet learned 10 love the taste
of pure coffee itself, but boiled milk, and
good sugar, with cream when it is 10 be had :,
faUored with well made coffee, is not "bad
to take."-Our observation in travelling
through the country has been, that not one
family, or hotel, in five, habitually boil milk
for coffee. Let the other four fiflhs try boil.
ing the milk for few weeks, and our word
for it, they will not return to raw milk. The
slightly cathartic effect of coffee alluded TO
in former article is probably about coun-
terbalanced by boiling the milk when any
quantity of it is used with the
coffee.

PRAISE From THE Ell EMy.-The late Mes
sage OF Governor Packer, says the Bedford
Gos'te, is spoken of by many of the Oppo-
siton Journals in terms of the highest praise
1t seems that even the bitter enemies of the
Democracy are compelled TO applaud the
course OF the Governor. They not only ap.
prove his reference 10 Kansas matters but
they also eXtol his viewon State affairs. Thus
we see that the same fellows who but
lille more than year ago, denounced MIR.
Packer and took particular delight in heap
ing al! sorts of insults upon him, because he
was then Democratic candidate, are now
engaged in heraIding forth his merits as
Governor and landing him as "brave, con-
scleniious and incorruptible man4n |, is a
little singular that they are just now dlscov-
eFing Gov. Packers great virines. especial
~ as they have known him as public man
this twenty years. We venture to predict
that should Governor Packer ever again be.
come the Democratic nominee for any office,
they would very soon loose all recollection
OF once having gwen him their approval.
