wSix religious papers published in
Boston, have agreed to charge half a
cent word for publishing all appeals for
general benevolent objects. ."-EacAange.
Oh. yes! it is all very well for religious
papers to charge for such notices; but
should we heathens who have charge Of
political papers ever attempt such thing,
the righteous indignation of the saints
would come down upon our sinful heads
"like thousand Of brick" Yet, when
money is to be raised for charitable pur-
poses, we are expected to contribute as
literally, and even more literally, than
our neighbors. We hope country edi
tors will come to proper understanding
upon this subject. and quit doing these
'dead head" jcbs--other people charge
for their work, in nearly every instance,
while we are doing a sufficient amount Of
labor for nothing annually to almost sup
port small family.

When Gen. Scott arrived in New Or
leans, some one near him in the crowd
which pressed around him at the St.
Charles, asked PERMISSION to carry his
overcoat for him. The General granted
the request, and the person in carrying
out bis intentions on getting the coat in his
possession, carried it entirely away, and
the General has not heard Of it since
In consequence, the General had to call
upon taller the next day.

A Good BEGINNING.

We noticed some wholesome symptoms
in the report Of the proceedings Of the
National House Of Representatives a few
days ago. The Consular and diplomat
ic bill being under consideration in Com
mittee oftheWhole, a motion Of Mr.. Love-
joy Of illinois to refuse all appropriations
for salaries to ministers and commission.
ers, except the Minister to Spain, was de-
feated by only twelve majority; and the
appropriation for the minister 10 Persia,
for theTtinister to Rome, and the Minis
ter to Switzerland, were severally stricken
out Of the bill. Among those who favor.
ed these measures were several Southern
Democrats, who were not afraid to speak
In favor o! economy, and against the ex,
tension of Executive patronage.
This is a,,good beginning, and we hope
win be vigorously and effectively followed
up. The true measure is that proposed
by Mr.. Lovejoy. Let US have done with
these useless and costly official residents
at foreign courts. whose chief function is
70 spend the public money and make
themselves glorious by presenting trav-
cling American flunkeys at royal draw
ing.rooms, and by giving the same class
Of our fellow citizens free dinner or sup
per now and then. Cut of all foreign
ministers, nnd let the business be trans
acted either by Consuls abroad, or by the
Secretary Of State at Washington, except
in cases Of necessity, when a special
agent can be sent oxt for the time being,
That will bring this part of the public
service back to the ilea of the founders
Of the Republic; it will add vastly to the
dignity Of the country. and save. the
treasury an enormous annual sum; and will
deprive the Federal Executive Of one oil
its most potent means ofcorruption. Let
US know who votes against this great and
useful reform? All honor to Mr.. Love-
joy for bringing it forward.

THE DIFFEREEcE.-Robert Morris, the
colored lawyer Of Boston, bargaincd for a
residence nDarysville, but the select white
inhabitants Of that locality demonstrated d
with the owner of the property and pre-
vented him from making the sale. AT
the sale in the parish Of Ibervill. on the
Mississippi, Of the estate Of the late
Samuel Harrison, "a few weeks since, there
were assembled large number Of the
neighboring planters, and it is one Of the
wealtbiest and most fashionable neigh
borhoods in the state. The plantation and
negroes were offered in a lump, and a
spirited bid ensued. Finally the property
was knocked down to free negro for the
sum Of 260. 900. After the sale the price
was commented on, but there was neither
a word nor look Of disapprobation.

Money for Crane Town ship.

We see by the proceedings Of The Leg.
islature that Mr.. Mott, Of this county,
has presented a bill 10 authorize Crane
township to borrow money. If be means
Crane township in this county, there
must be some mistake about the matter /;
for we have inquired Of the Trustees who
say that they. do not desire to borrow any
money, and we cannot find any of our
citizens who ever heard Of the proposition
before they we're informed Of its presen-
.ation to the Legislature,

We were much interested with what we

The literary exercises in the evening

ton very much, and, after due delbera-

that the Dayton editors; the proprietor Of

@Mr. Douglas will find his present
submission to the persecution" Of the
administration no more serviceable than
his open opposition proved to be last win
tor. He appealed to Mr.. Buchanan's
fears twelve months ago, but that individ-
ual, backed by his southern masters, had
at hand on the occasion moro than his
usual stock Of courage, and consequently
could not be frightened. Now he appeals
to his pity, BY patiently swallowing every
insult which is offered; and by humbly
crawling into the party caucuses. where be
is received with cold looks and frowning
brows, and when there cxcelling all others
in obedience to the executive dictation.--
But we fear the President has no feeling
ofpity in reserve for the little giant
nothing indeed but insult and contempt.
II has been truly remarked that last year
the administration hated and feared the
Senator from Illinois but, this year it hates
and despises him, regarding him as a
broken down politician. who has not cour.
age to adhere to his principles, or states

Of any formidable organization Of follow.

The Statesmansays that the propriety
ofsubmitting proposition to the people
for the amendment of the constitution SO
as to permit return to the license system,
as a means Of controlling the traffic in in
toxicatipg liquors, is the subject Of discus

4 The evils resulting from Intempcrance
can hardly be exaggerated. They enter
into every department of society. and there
are but few families who have not in a
greater or less degree, felt their sorrow
ful and saddening effects. The hearth
stone Of the inebriate is dark and he has
made it desolate. The son who INDUCES
in his cups brings down the grey hairs Of
his parents in sorrow to the grave; and
grief, and bitterness and woe are the COM
panions Of the drunkard. t.t
II has been our deliberate judgement
for some time, that all stringent probibi-
tory legislation. has entirely failed to ef-
ct the object SO much desired, and so
far as we have had the opportunity to
Judge from observstion, in the portion Of
our State in which we are acquainted. we
think the prohibition in the new constitu-
ton, has failed 10 accomplish, the rcfor-
nation hoped for by its adoption as part
Of the fundamental law. ead' I3 ~
In many parts Of the State, Intcmper-
ancc is on the increase, and the statutes
providing for the evils resulting from the
sale of intoxicating drinks, are almost
dead letter. 1t is very apparent that
something should be done, and we are
Of the opinion that return TO il well reg
ulated license system would be much bet
ter than the law'now in existence.
The old Washingtonian Temperance
while it was in efficient op-
peration in Ohio, did more to reform the
inebriate and reclaim the drunkard, than
any other means we have had. II acted
Of and without any legisla-
tive aid; but unfortunately, as we think,
it fell into the general sentiment Of the day
that it was necessary to invoke stringent
prohibitory Legislation. That was OBJ
tained, and its effect and the results are
but too plainly and painfully visible on
society. Weido not believe that the in
can be reformed by coercion or

kindness, affection and love, to reclaim

where these graccs are exercised with a

all to accomplish the reformation Of those
IN whom they are bestowed. II they fail

But little Of Importance is transpiring

seem to be engaged in President making
and fixing up officers for the next Con-

days, the latest Of which was a regular
set-to in the lobby Of the House, between
Taylor, member from New York, and
Waldron, o prominent politician from that
Slate. The only regret we have is that
these Honorable rowdies are always sep
arated before they succeed in doing each
other much injury-indced. II seems as
though they never fight only when they
