Railroad Pro Rata.-The Senate of
New York has finally defeated the Pro Ra-
ia bill by adopting a substitute, which sub
stitute appoints three Commissioners to con-
fer with the Commissioners to be appointed
for similar purpose in other States, to in
qulre into the propriety of adopting a gen
eral Pro Rata system, and report at the
next Legislature. This was adopted in the
place of the Assembly Bill. This substi-
tute is favored by the friends of the rail-

From Washington.

In the House of Representatives, at Wash
ington, on Thursday last, whining message
was received from the President, protesting
against the FIRST two clauses of Mr.. Coyode's
resolution providing for select committee to
examine into alleged abuses by the Pres
dent, or any other officers of the government.
The President defends the rights and duties
pertaining to his Office, and takes the ground
that Congress can act only under the impeach-
ing power, in reality claiming a kingly pre-,
negative. Mr.. Sherman, in a brief. but forci-
bic speech, took ground against the doctrines
bronched in the message, contendng it was
competent for the House to inquire into the
subject, and in its own way without regard
to the Presidents views or wishes.
Mr.. Blake, of Ohio, made some sensation
in the House on Monday, by set of bun.
conbe resolutions directing the committee on
the Judiciary to inquire into the expediency
Of reporting bill giving freedom to every
human being and interdicting slavery wherev
er Congress has constitutional power to legis-
late on the subject. 1t was defeated BY q ma.
jority Of forty ynine
Some important developments have been
made by the Printing Investigating Commit
tee, of which Mr.. Haskin is chairman. 4
wholesale system Of fraud has been exposed,
and wo can learn how the Democratic party
has kept itself in power. No Democratic or
gan of any note has been able to sustain it
self as far north as Washington, and all the
important wretched party organs have been
kept alive by robbing the Treasury.
The Committee, of which Mr.. Covodo is
chairman, are raking up still more important
matters. These exposures will consummate
the disgrace of Mr.. Buchanan's Administra
tion, and will seriously affect the party as
they ought to do. Yet, SO far as Mr.. Buch.
anan is concerned, it is wholly useless to ex-
pose any more Of his weaknesses aud frauds.

In notice of Judge Pierreponts pi-
quaint letter resigning his seat in New
York, the Philadelphia Bulletin comments
people: -
The sketch fNew York drawn by Judge
Pierrepont is scathing. The misfortune is
that it is true, and unfortunately it is too
nearly true Of the whole country. at is
easy to demonstrate that, in the yet dis
covered world, there is not such another
extravaganza people in proportion to its
real wedlth, as that which inhabit this city
lhe one idea is "a frantic determination to
get, in some immediate way, the means Of
appearing to be rich" The consequences
OF this are appalling. Both women and
men are selling themselves for money.
The extent OF this passion ior the apper.-
aaces Of tceaith is terrific, the very cry OF
every soul and the clutch of every arm is
for money-money to be spent in extrava-
gance. These words are fearfully true:
Already the success of a lawyer is deter
mined by the money that he makes; al
ready the success of minister of Christ is
in some degree estimated by the salary
which he receives" The country is mad
on money, and money to be spent in show.
How are We to support thirty millions Of
nobiemen and their families? All women
are ladies, not in character, but in dress
and expense; all men in America are
lords in their style OF thinking and as far
as they can ms ke, borrow, or steal money,
in their style Of living That it is mis-
cradle ambition is plain enough The re-
medy IL more obscure. But If one could

quietly taking his dinner, two Southerners

gravity to the Southerners, said
a. am NJ Donald Clark, the great poet.
The Southerners started in mock sur

Too Green for Comfort.

Tho C,acian1G EnY,ircr tells the follow
ing story.
Day bofore Yesterday a trio Of newly
welded couples from the interior OF Ken
tucky- arrived at the Burnet House and
took apartments for the might at that well
ordered hotel 1t was quite evident that
the whole party were unfamiliar with me-
. tropoi!tan sights. The rooms. corridors
marble floor, gorgeous drawing room and
well spread table Of the motel, drew from
them the most Ingenious remarks Of sur
prise. In the evening they visited the
opera house. and were 80 a>toni>ncd at Il,
maCnjticeuc.. tina; even Mrs. Walters won
derful impersouatiof Of Meg Merillies al
most failed to Interest them. Nothing
more was thought OF the yerdaut trio TIL
about ! o clock yesterday morning at
which time the boot black Of the Burnet
House, IN making his customary rounds
observed one Of the buColic beuedicts seat
ed in the hall near the door of his room
He uaiveiy asked the poli,her Of the un-
derstandings if lie was the clerk Re
ceiv!ng a negative answer. he Informed the
boot black that he should like to see that
individual in a few moments one of the
attentive office men was at his side and
politely asked what was needed
"touldnt you make me a bed in the
parlor ?? cried the di>consola:e invidual
In the parlor? echoed the clerk, ~

Wall, would like to have one spread
down somewheres"
Why don't you go into your room p
asked the clerk.
Il don't like to- said the bashful young
man.
! Why, whats the matter?' continued
! the clerk. Has your wife turned you
/ out OF your room?
No" said he, drawlinc, 'but you see
I've never been married before. and so
( don't much like to go in, particularly in
a strange place
"oh, go right in, said the clerk, she
won't think it at all wrong
Here the door of his room opened about
an inch and through the aperture came a

think strange of yer standing out there
Come in now, won yer? I've blowed out

The odOr of the room assured the clerk
that she had indeed "blowed out the gas :"
SO pushing open the door he stopped the
! flow, raised window and returned to the
hall to persuade the verdant husband to
retire with his wife. All arguments We're
fruitless, however, and he was compelled

How To- Cure MATRIMONIAL oUAIEELS.-
Bishop Burnet, in the record of his obSer-
vations in Italy and Switzerland. stated
that in Berne they had u novel method Of
dealing with matrimonial disputaIts. Dl
vorccs were freely granted, but first the
applicant must 20 through the following
test:
A small room was prepared, in which
the husband and wife We're put-the door
being closed, To remain so for six weeks,
except it should be set in motion by the
urgent request of the welded pair. There
were in the room one stool, one plate, one
spoon, a unity of all the requisites and
the solitary bed was of such dimensions,
that if they should choose 10 use it toge-
ther they must needs lie very close to-
gether
OF one thing, and one only, there was q
duplicate; and that was little treatise
on the duties Of husbands and wives to-
ward each other. No visitor was permit
ted to 90 near them, and they had only
glimpse at intervals of the grim face OF
the ianitor As he pushed their food thro
a hole in the door The Bishop states
that the test was attended by the most
wholesome results. In most cases the
parties were excellent friends in few
days. and very few could stand out for
more than a fortnight Another very
gratifying circumstance was, they scarcely
on record case in which a second appl!-
cation was made by persons who had al
ready gone throug IA the ordeal
