without pictures differ nearly as much as room with

holes of visions to the SOUL leading it to other scenes
and other spheres. It is such inexpressble relief to
q person engaged in writing, or even reading, on
looking up, not to have his line division chopped off
by an odious white WALL but to find his soul escaping
as it were, through the frame OF an exquisite picture
to other beautiful aud perhaps heavenly scenes where
the fancy for moment may revel refreshed and de.
lighted. Thus pictures are CONSIDERS OF loneliness
they are sweet fattery to the soul; they are re-
lief to the jaded mind they are books they are his.

Gov. Hunt and his friends say that Kansas has
been saved to Freedom, and that there is no longer
any occasion for Republican party. Unfortun-
attly for the argument Of tbese philosophers aud
Statesmen, the people cannot forget that when tde
soil OF Kansas was yet red with the blood OF her
people, when, by violence and fraud, Mssoufians
had taken possession of her Legislature, and when
AchisoD, StringfellOw, Reid, and Clay Pate were
wacipg a Inerclless and horrible war against her
Free-State settlers, Gov Hunt and his friends, in-
stead of cheering and supporting the defenders OF
Constitutional rights in Kansas, were virtually and
effectively giving aid and comfort to their infurated
euemies. Then, as now, Gog Hunt contended
that there was no need Of any Republican party;
and accordingly heahrew in his lot with the men
who, in October, 1s56, gave the vote of PennsSl-
vania TO Mr.. ,Buchaoan, and thas secured the
triumph OF the Border Rufiaus and the pcrpetra-
ton of that Growing fraud the Lecompton Co9sh-
tu,ion. But as the Republican party, with the
help Of a few independent and patr)t Demo-
Gratis, then saved Kansas, after Gov. Huat had
left it TO perdition, so, doubt not, they will
now be sufficient to save the Constitution and the
Union irom.tbe Great Conspiracy which has been
formed against them, even though Mr. Hunt should
refuse bis cooperation.

Professor Mitchell, the noted Astronomical lee
turer brought forward proposal, at the Union
meeting on Monday night, which has by no means
received the profound consideration to which its
meritsgave it title. The Professor thought every
thing would be all right ifhe and the other Orna-
nents of the meetOg shoaldspledge themselves not
to take Office We are convinced that this rs
good ides, and that both this city and the'country
at large would be great deal safer ii such a
pledge could have been taken and rigidly lived up
10. But, unfortunate for US, the Professor wasthe
onIy nan present who was impressed with the exi-
xepcy,of the case. The Rev. DR.. Bethunc espe-
ciaIly, and With great prOmptness, rePudsted the
plan; while Mayor Tiemann, who SAT in the chair;
Mr.. James Brooks, who defended the divinity OF
Slavery; Ex-Gov. Hunt, James S. Thayer Esq,
and Gen. DIX, all more OF less ready to serve their
suffering country listened to the project with grim
and silent disgust. However, let the excellent
Professor take cOurage and abide BY his discovery
The people are likely to take care that not one of
the unlucky fossils at whom his motion was aimed
aud who also snubbed him Sc ungraciouay for IT,

In the case of the Broad-street calamity, where
tvO persons lost their lives by the falling of pro-
vision store, and several others we're more or less
injured, The COroners jury yesterday rendered a
verdict Of censure. 1t appeared in evidence tha.
the building had been erected for the dry goods
business, and was more lightly timbered than build
ines designed for provision stores usually are.
Although there were some doabts Of the stability Of
the building for a grocery aud commission store
from the time it was first occupied for that business
il seems that the occupants loaded the upper part
With some 1000 barrels of flour, although they con-
fess that they always regarded that part of the
building asthe weakest No effort was made by the
Coroner to ascertain how deeply the beams were
set in the side walls. When we visited the ruins,
shortly afler the disaster, it was a subject
Of common remark, among the 6remen aud others,
that the beams cou not have had a lojgment of
more than three inches iu the wall aud it was sur
prsing that the structure had not given way before
The jury found "that the Grst aud imme late cause
"of the failing of the bull iiog was the settling Of
4" one Of the main rear supports into the mason
"woIk OF the cellar wall, by which tho whole
"weight Of the contents seems to have been thrown
con this weak points that the cause of the acci-
"dent was the OserloadiDg Of the building; and
eieasmuch as it had not been built strong enough
"for the purpose for which it was used, we find
-"that the original owner and tho occupants are
"cepsurable." The police were also censured for
not preventing people from congregatiDg or passing
in front Of the store while it was known to be in a
precarious condition. Doubtless there are many
other stores down town equally insecure. Ii 80,
We hope that "out of this nettle, danger, We may
"pluck this lOwer-safety."
