gE Governor S., of South Carolina,
was a splendid lawyer, and could talk
Jury out of their five senses. He was
noted for his success in criml-
nal cases, almost always clearing his eli
ent. He was once counsel for a man ac-
cused of horse-stealing. He made long,
eloquent, and touching speech. The Ju-
ry retired, butreturned in few moments
and, with tears in their eyes, proclaimed
the man not guilty. An old acqualnt
ance stepped up to the prisoner, ant
said
'Jem, the danger is past; and now
honor bright, didn't you steal that horse
To which Jem replied, We'll, Ton
I've all along thought that l took tb
horse but since I've heard the Govern
or's speech, don't believe l did.

A NEGRO Discussion ABOUT EGGS. |
Geneva, the lovely village of Seneca
Lake, furnishes the following specimen
of parliamentary ruling:
in the fairest village of Western n.
York, the culled pussens, in emula-
ton of their white brethren, formed a
Debating Society, for the purpose of
improving their minds by the discussion
of instructive and entertaining topics
The deliberations of the society were
presided over by a venerable darkey,
who performed his duties with the utmost
dignity peculiar to his color. The sub
iect for discussion on the occasion Of
which we write was Which am de mod
der OF the chicken-de hen wot lay de
EGG. or de hen wot matches de chick p
Tue question was warmly debated, and
many reasons pro and con were urged
and combatted by the excited disputantS
Those in favor of the latter proposition
were evidently in the majority, and tht
2 president made no attempt to concea
+ that his sympathies were with the do
t minant party. At length an intelligen
b darkey arose from the minority side, an
e begged leave to state proposition t
+ this effect Spose,' said he, dat yo
4 set one dozen duck eggs under hen, an
l. dey hatch, which am de mudder-d
o duck or de hen?' This was poser, va
n we'll put, and non-plussed the other sid
y even staggering the president, who plail
a ly saw the force of the argument, b
ar had committed himself too far to vie
ID without struggle so, after cogitatil
and scratching his wool few moment
Il a bright idea struck him. Rising fro
~ his chair in all the pride of console
ar superiority, he announced : Ducks a
not before de house chickens am

LEGAL TENDER. The law regulating
the payment of debts with coin provides
that the following coin be legal tender;
/. All gold coins at their respective
values for debts of any amount.
.. The half dollar, quarter, dime and
half dime, at their respective values, for
debts of any amount under FIVE dollars.
3. Three cent pieces for debts Of any
amount under thirty cents and
4. BY the law passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, We may add, one cent
pieces for any amount under ten cents.
BY the law of Congress, passed some
four or five years ago, gold was made the
legal tender for large amounts. Those who
to get rid Of large quantities of cents and
small coin, sometimes pay their bills with
it, to the annoyance Of the creditor, viii
perceive that there is a stoppage to tina
antic by the law.

THE RIGHT GROUND.

We copy the following from the Wash
ington correspondence of the PhIiadei-
pbia North american, and trust that the
in Congress have assumed the
ground there stated and will hold Ii !
firmly:
" Notice was given by Dir. Houston
Of Alabama, few days ago, of a resolu-
ton instructing the Committee of Ways
and Means to report loan bill. This
movement indicates design to evade
any alteration in the tariff, and TO supply
the wants of the Treasury by borrowing
only, as was done at the last session to the
tune of forty millions. When that eH-
neriment shall assume a practical shape.
the Democracy will be put to the test
upon a combined proposition, embracing
fair modification and loan together
The opposition will grant no money, anC
consent TO no increase of the public debt
without provision for its gradual extlnc
ton, through an increase of the reve
nues. When the Democracy are pre-
pared to accept that basis, they ma.
name the sum necessary to meet thel
deficiencies and to carry on the govern
ment. Until they do agree upon som
, such measure, a determined reslStanc
, 10 every project for swelling the natiOn'
debt may be expected"
