CRIMINAL Court On Saturday, the counsel
for Mr.. Cullom, late Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, argued their motion to quash the
Indictment in the remaining case against that
gentleman. The indictment charges embezzl.-
ment by receiving from certain members of Con-
gress vouchers and receipts for books, as though
such books had been furnished them by him, as
Clerk of the House, when in fact no such books
had been furnished them; and that upon such
vouchers the said Cullom drew, received, certain
amounts of money from the Treasury of the
United states. Arguments were heard from Mr.
Bradley for defence, and from s. T. Williams.
Esq. and Mr.. Ould for the Government, Mr..
Carlisle closing for the defence. The Indictment
was quashed by the Court, which places Mr.
Cullom clear Of the Court in reference to any in
dlctments against him growing out Of his late
ONCE as Clerk Of the House Of Representatives

EDITOR STAR In your issue of the 18th inst ,s
recorded the death Of child from an over dose
Of laudanum, administered as paragoric and so
purchased from an apothecary. The writer is NOT
aware Of the circumstances Of the case whether
the apothecary sold il paragoric or wbethe, the
parties sent asked for laudanum as often cbjlaren
are sent for medicines and ask for artc les Totally
different from what they were sent for At amt
rate, is high time that there was some stringent
law as TO who should dispense medicines. There
are numerous persons in this city engaged In the
drug business who have embarked In the bust

frequently occurs that such parties are liberallv
patronized, to the detrimenf of an apothecary
who has served regular apprenticeship at the
business, and so long as such establishments are
patronized such results must inevitably occur.
