4 RAILROAD NoyELTY-The new steam
passenger car, spoken of last week, recently
constructed for the Eastern railroad, and
said to be intended for the road between
this city and Boston, came overfrom Salem
on Saturday, and attracted some attention
at the Central station. 1t looked like an
ordinary passenger car, with two stove
pipes sticking through the top, and a bell
suspended between them. 1t stands rath
er higher from the rail than an ordinary
car, and the machinery is underneath, be-
tween te forward wheels. The boiler
fire box, and water tank occupy about
cight feet Of one end of the car while the
remainder contains seats for some fifty pas
scngers. 1t is said to use only half the
fuel required to do the same amount of
work as an ordinary locomotive, while the
wear and tear of the rail is much less, ow-
ing to the great reduction in weight, which
is fifteen tons less than an ordinary locomo-
tive. tits said to carry fuel and water
sufficient for a run of fifty miles, while the
speed is about the same as an ordinary To-
comotiye.-N Y World a-

1t is fact little known, that for
the first FIVE years Of our government, the
United States Senate always sat in secret.
The first time the doors were opened for
public discussion was on the contest as to
the right of Albert Gallatin to a seat in the
Senate. This seat was contested on the
ground that Mr. Gallatin had not been, as
the Constitution required, nine years a cit
izen of the United States

Expounding the Bible

\ learned pedagogue at Nantucket. used
every morning to read passages in the
Bible, and exppund the same as he proceed

how much they remembered Of his COM

bright boys at school. On one occasion
he read from the book of Job thus
Ez"There was a man in the land of W, and
his name was Job, who feared Col and es-
chewed evil, that is he eschcwed evil as
do tobacco, he would have nothing to do
with it. !"
With this very clear and forcible .elucida-
ton Of the word 'eschew," he proceeded
and a number of verses were read and
commented on in similar clear and intel
ligible manner.
After long interval, when the young
mind had time to digest its food, the ped
agogue called upon one of the youngest
boys, and the following dialogue ensued:-

The Republican State Central Committee,
Republican members of the General Assembly
and State Board of Equalization, held con-

March, to elect Senatorial Delegates to the

The ratio of delegates to the State Convention
is to be one for every four hundred votes ca
for Dennison for Governor.
The Convention to nominate State ticket
and Presidential Electors, is to be held after
the Convention at Chicago. A resolution was
p adopted requesting the State Central Commit
tee to correspond with the National Republican
Committee, and urge the appointment of an
earlier day for the Republican National Con-

It is hardly probable that any change will

No less than forty-One Southern Democrats
in the House have signed pledge to resist the
plurality rule to the last extremity, even tho
clear majority of the House should demand
it. Mr.. Cobb, of Alabama, and few others,
distinctly refused to sign il, as involving a
revolutionary precedent and intended to pro-
woke sectional conflict.
In the House on Friday, further evidence
was given by the disuniOnists of their deter
mination to prevent an election Of Speaker,
and to keep the House in condition of an
archy till after the Charleston Convention
Mr.. Clark, of No, who presented the insult
ing resolution en- the subject of Mr.. Sher-
mans recommendation of the Helper Book,
again charged that Mr., S. had failed to alb
solve himself from the responsibility Of rec
ommending its circulation. Mr.. Sherman re-
piled in straightforward, manly, and def
ant speech, which the Tribune's despatchsays
produced great impression on the floor and
crowded galleries. He exposed the incorrect
ness Of the statement of Mr.. Q. that he had
afforded Mr.. Sherman an opportunity to ex-
plain his connection with the Helper Book, by
showing that he had demanded the withdrawal
Of the offensive resolution on q former Occs-
sion, and now repeated that challenge, with
the frank assurance that he was, as he had
beer, ready to meet every responsibility; and
while his personal dignity was afronted by
the reflection contained in the resolution, he
would refuse any explanation in spite Of con-
sequences. He charged distinctly that the
resolution was kept suspended purposely to
deny him the opportunity, and to prevent an
organization.
During his speech, the House was impress
lively STILL until as the electric thrill penetra-
ted, it burst into spontaneous applause
Numbers of frank Southern men expressed
their cordial appreciation Of the high spirit
and noble bearing eyinced by Mr.. Sherman,
while the body Of his own friends responded
with generous greeting. FH T

WIN Chno, Reirns In Conrres,.

The Tribune, of Saturday, says the country
should understand wha, are the principal rea-
sons why the Housc Of Representatives is t
organized, and truthfally adds .
They are Oftwo classes. First Mr. Buchi n
an resists the election Of Republican Speaker
not Mr.. Sherman merely, but any RepubH
can Such, we are informed, on good authority,
is the explicit advice he gives his friends ntho
Houso. And why One would suppose that
with the Post Office Department, crippled and
well>nigh broken down for want of money, and
with other Departments verging toward the
same condition, ho would wish 10 see Cons
gresa in working condition, so that needed ap.
preparation bills might be passed. Are we to
explain his present course on the ground that
he fears such an investigation Of the financial
affairs of his administration as would be suro
to follow the election of Republican to tho
Speakers chair Is it true that all branches
Of the Government Teek with rottenness, and
are gangrened with corruption If this is so,
it is certain that il will ali be exposed to the
public eye if the opponents of the Democracy

and on that ground it would not seem slrpTis-
ing that the head Of the Government and all
subordinates should eonspire to fOment and
protract chaos in the Representatives Hall.
Second But the conspiracy, in part, origi-
mates in a more dangerous quarter and aims
at q higher object, The Representatives Of
tho Gulf States and the lower Mississippi are
bent on breaking up the Union. This is
avowed by Crawford Underwood, Curry ,Keitt,
Lamar, McRae, and their fire.esling associates
These rule the Democracy in the House. One
has but to glance over that body, to see that
the Vallandighams, the McClernands, the Lar
rabees, and the Florences of the North, are
subject to their control. Being determined to
break up the Government, these Catalines regard
the present disOrganized condition of the House
Of Representatives as a step in that direction,
the opening scene in the drama of Disunion.-
These disciples of Calhoun declare that the
House shall not have Speaker until after the
meeting of the Charleston Convention. We
shall see In the meantime, let the Northern
Democracy ponder over the base uses to
which their Representatives are put by their
negro lords in Washington. The reaction will
yet come, and with terrific power.

minnesota Democratic Convention.

The Douglas organs in Ohio, who have been
shouting over Minnesota as sure for their pO-
litical idol should not have forgotten the old
adage "not to whistle before out of the woods, %
The st. Paul Times states that in the caucus
before the convention met the Douglas lead
were voted down 84 to %, and seeing the ma
jority thus against them, as a last resort to
get to Charleston, they eaved and sold out
their principles of popular sovereignty in
the Territories, Little Giant and all, to the
Administration, and went for the resolutions
offered by Mr.. Becker, which adopt the Gin
cinnati platform with the Drsd Scott decis-
ion to interpret it. The delegates to Charles
ton are allowed to 60 for Douglas "as long as
the interests of the party require"-thOugh a
series of resolutions, heartily endorsing
Douglas, and instructing the delegation ito
vote for and earnestly support Stephen A.

mittee. ........ ..-.

Your correspondent has giveu you the simple
facts in the csse-that is, that Douglas was
fairly beaten in the Convention by Adminstra-

sake of harmony, in the fullness OF
their power, they gave the Douglas wing a
single vote, and quasi endorsement of their
champion. Set down Minnesota as 8 to l

Cassius NJ. Clay,s speeeh.

The Cincinnati Gazette says we are glad to
notice general disposition among the Oppo-
sitiOn journals of Kentucky to treat the re-
cent exposition of Republican principles by
Cassius NJ Clay with candor The following
notice of ii, which appeared in the Frankfort
Commonwealth, is copied into other papers of
the State without dissent or comment:
'There was nothing in the speech of Mr..
Clay to which the most ultra pro-slavery man
might not have listened without feeling that
his sef-respeot had been violated for while
the speaker forcibly and fearlessly proclaimed
his determined opposition to the institution,
his sentiments were aveWed without insult to
those who differed from him. The speech was
moderate one in tene and Language, and die
tated, we thought, by q conciliatory spirit
1t was an attempt, in many respects success
full, to show how and wherein the Republican
party had been misrepresented by Gov. Ma
Coffin and Senator Breckenridge and to place
the principles of that organization in what
he believed to be their true light before the
people Of Kentucky Mr.. Clay has generally
been regarded an ultra anti-slavery man, sl
he certainly is, yet there were few that heard
him who, while widely differing even from
the comparatively moderate doctrines assert
/ ed in his speech, did not concede that if Mr..
Clay represented truly the principles Of the
| Republican party, they were not quite SO des
perate set of scamps as they had been led
10 believe" ~ .it5fa '-

No. 1Yont stop Aritnting.

The South seems determined to keep up the
"irrePressible conflict" by constantly taking
steps in adyahcs in regard to Slavery and the
Slave trade. For instance, in the House of the
Democratic Legislature of Kentucky few days
ago, bill was passed by vote Of n to l6, re-
Pealing the .Old law of 1888, prohibiting the
importation Of slaves into that State. The
Frankfort Commonwealth depreeates this meas.
ure fraught With injury to the prosperity of the
State, and says:
Kentucky yearly sends thousands Of Slaves
to the South, and one great cause Of this is,
that they are worth more there than they are
here. The laws Of trade Will necessarily pre-,
vent the Importation of any considerable nun
ber Of Slaves into Kentucky from other States
But there is one class that viii be brought; the
vicious, unmauEgeable, insubordinste Slaves Of
Virginia, will be brought in BY the negro deal
ers, who, like buzzards, hover about 10 spscu.
late in such carrion. The diseased and crippled
who are unfit for the labor Of the South may
also occasionally be introduced. But does Ken
tucky need or want such refuse as this!

Another EnsIaving Failure.

Some Of the Governors of the Slave States are
popularizing the veto power in the opinion Of
the people Of the Free States. Gov Stewart,
Of Missouri, has done so in Withholding his ap-
prOval Of the barbsrOus bill passed in that State
to sell free eolOred persons into Slavery; and
Gov. Perry, of Florida. to his honor be it re-
corded, has refused to approve of like inhumsn
bill recently passed by the Florida Legislature
for the expulsion of the free negroes from that
State under pain of being sold into slavery. =
Fortunately neither Missouri nor Florida have
such renegade popular sovereignty Democrat
as Black, of Nebraska, for Governors.
