Ry- Say the Republican papers: cit
is reported that Charles Sumner has pre-
pared a speech on the great questions of
the day. which he will soon deliver in the
Senate" Mr. Sumner has the mack of
saying dirtier things than any other man
in the Senate, with probably the excep-
ton of Ben. Wade, and his speeches are
popular among Republicans because as
he boasts, his illustrations are taken from
houses of i'll fame and his metaphors from
hell.
F- The old Ashtabula Chief, Joshua
R. Giddings, has sealed the fate of poor
Mclean in the Chicago Convention. He
has given the Republicans to understand
that they must nominate representa-
tive man." and when Joshua speaks they
always give ear, for he wields an inhu-
ence that is not to be hooted at. Joshua
SAYS that Mclean could not carry the
State of Ohio, if nominated by the Chica-
go Convention, and Joshua knows. Alas!
for the conservatives. The rugged is

Ezg" The emigration from Ireland this
season promised to be the largest that
has taken place since 1S47. The mum.
bers that are arriving by the Galway and
other lines show that the movement is
assuming almost the character of panic.
1t appears that the newly arrived settlers
come from the north as we'll as from the
south and west of Ireland, and for the
most part bring some means with them.
Their coming here thus early in the sea-

expectations entertained of the successful
working of the cncumbered estates act. or
the apprehension of ano her great famine

Efy- The New York Courts, by a de q.
cision just rendered, hold that the condi-
tons printed on the free passes issued to
cattle drovers are sufficient defense to
any claim for damages arising from any
cause whatsoever. The suit was brought
against the Hudson River Railroad. Ac-
cording to this ruling of the New York
Courts, if a railroad carry man for
nothing, it has right to MAIN or kill
him without being liable. 1t has been
decided in one of the Courts of this State
that railroad company was bound to
carry an individual safely, even ifit does
carry him free. and this is common sense
and ought to be good law. Those who
travel upon free passes are supposed to
receive such passes for an equivalent of

Es A gentleman of this city--says
the Buffalo Express-who was recently
in Toledo during the excitement occasion
ed there by the suspension of the Tecum-
sch Bank, tells good thing incident to
that occurrence. The Tecumseh Bank
had redeeming office in Toledo, and
when that institution shut down on the
coin there was naturally much ado in the
city, and "Tecumseh money" was all the
talk. In close proximity to the redeem
ing Office, a sharp and enterprising green
grocer was located in trade, and to him
the Tecumseh money excitement afford
ed an opportunity for attracting attention
to his establishment and perpetrating an
excellent joke at the same time. He
painted in large letters and conspicuous
ly placed before his door the following
attractive sign: "7ecumseh Money taken
