The COURT OF DEATH.-Our readers
are referred to an advertisement, in this
issue, of an elegant Chromo.Lithographic
Engraving, printed in oil colors, of Peale's
celebrated painting of the Court of Death.
The New York Observer says of the En-
craving and Publisher =
" 1t is rarely that such an opportunity
is offered for obtaining work of art,
intrinsieally valuable, at trifing cost
and none, we think, who order it, will ever
regret the outlay. As chaste and beau,
tiful parlor ornament-as present from
one friend to another as a possession to
be preserved and admired, aud furnish a
constant delight, it is believed that nothing
can surpass the Engraving of the Court Of
Death Mr., Cotton is a responsible man,
and our friends may feel safe in sending
.heir money for his picture"

Caught in His own Trap.

Cornelu. Wcudcll, (formcrly public
printer at Washington,) recently went be-
fore the Black Republican Coyodc Con-
grcssionul Investigating Committee, and
without venturing to sustain by direct cv-
idcnce charges Of corruption against Mr..
Buchanan, the President, the whole tenor
of his equiyoc ton evidence was to produce
the impression that he had, al ME inst "tce
otthe PreSiifnt, in 1907 and 80, eXpeud-
ed Il large proportion of his profits as pub
lie printer TO Congress and to the Execu-
tive, in keeping up feeble Democratic news
papers, and to secure the election of Ad-
ministration members of Congress.
Shortly after he appeared before the
Comnlitto and thus testified. the following
Card was reproduced, written by him in
December, 1858, and which appeared in
the Washington Union. 1t will be seen
