Elder had lost portion Of the money in
private sPeoulations and had spent a great
deal 10 elect three or four Republican mem
bess Of Congress from his State. Il ap.
peais that he is not the only Republican
State Treasurer who il in trouble. 1t is
ascertainsd, BY the report of An investigating
committee, that it will require about one
hundred and ten thousand dollars to make
tho accounts Of Mr.. McKinny, the Repub-
hcsn State Treasurer Of Michigan, square

they may benefit themselves individually.
These are the kind Of officials whom that

the house. the J'u,na' says: 1T has been
ioiled very properly. The house, by nearly
thy majority, has indicated its rights"-
It is thus that the sectional,sts, while ut
tempting to hold the administration to their
false charges Of extravaganccs, bctray them
selves. In defeating a measure which
would save to the postal service nearly two
millions Of dollars annually, now worse than

selves up in their tru, collars. It to be
hoped that tho Senate will insist on its
amendment. The expenses Of the postofiice

millions greater than its receipts, and Mr.

command our feelings; We could scarcely re-
frain from exclaiming with Artemus Ward

Of the system; but. alas we have no right
to interfere with it where it exists no au-
thority to NEEDLE with the institutions Of
other States." Then, Elder dear, what in
the name Of General Jackson do you do 1T
for; why do you have SO much to say about
other peoples business /; are you afraid that
your Republican friends will introduce slav-
|ery into :Goodhue, and you want TO fixthem

not your lecture, geographically speaking, out

ror when he thinks he has taken new

lists with more force than others. q The
proposition that instruction follows oppres.
sion hos been advanced and sustained BY
the same historical examples in regard to
Greek and Roman slavery, and also By the
Hebrews escaping from Egypt-which the
Elder forgot to put in-by Garrison, Philips
& Co., time and again. Instead Of anything
new, the Elder repeated the arguments that
have wearied us 50 often before. Tbs fact
of it is, Elder that when you get out Of div.
Unity, You leave your element. You have
then but ono power LEFT, which you eau use
to advantage-that Of blackguardism; and
that is something. dear Elder, in which any

FASCINATION OF ROME.

The unaccountabe charm of the old home of.
the Caesars is thus nicely touched upon by our
friend Young, the editor of The Albion,t IN one of
his letters from Italy: Il about to leave il after
ten weeks sojourn, with infinite regret-f am
puzzled to account for the fascination of resi-
dence here. We have had rain, mud, and cold
weather, nd naUSe0m; the church ceremonies are
tedious; the carnival a failure; the beggars
mportunate and swarming; poverty and degrada-
ton stare one in the face the antiquities arc too
often jumbled; :he frescoes for the most part,
faded; the good pictures in the galleries in
dozen St. Peters itself is but a series of mag
nifcent architectural blunders. With all these
drawbacks, and half Il hundred disappontments,
there is no denying the charm q know not any
other suitable wOrd) that Rome exercises over its
visitors. 1t seems to affect the young and the old,
the illtterate and the cultivated, those who are
susceptible of emotion, and those to whom exter-
nal objects are alike Indifferent. And have
sought in vain to unrave the mystery of this fas-
cination. The residents see it cxemplifed, season
after season. but lockers on as they are, they are
unable to solve it. should Incline to attribute it
to the infinite variety, as well as number, of the
attractions that surround one, it not that the
feeling is shared by not few of the genus bioSe.
Some one told me, yesterday, of veteran traveller
who commenced abusing Rome as "a dirty old hole
of place, Immediately on his arrival kept up
the same cry during several months stay, but
ended by swearing that though it dirty old
hole Of place, he would not have left it if he
had not raid for his assage.'

THE MOUNTAINS OF LIFE.
BY JAMES C. CLARK.

BY JAMES C. CLARK.
There's land far away mid the stars, we are told,
Where they know not the sorrows of time;
Where the pure wander through valleys of gold
And life is treasure sublime
'Tis the land of our God-'tis the home of the SOUL
Where ages of splendor eternally roll;
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen mountains of life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land, .-~
But visions have told us of its bliss;
And souls by the gale from its gardens famed
When faint in the deserts of this.
And sometimes have longed for its holy repose
When spirits torn with temptations and woes
And we've drank from the tide of the river that flows
From the evergreen mountains of life.
o. the stars tread the blue heavens at night,
But think where the ransomed have trod;
And the day smiles from his palace of light,
But feel the bright smile ofour God.
We travelling homeward through changes and GLOOM
To kingdom where pleasures unchangingy bloom,
And guide is the glory which shines thro the tomb
From the evergreen mountains of life.

MAN PLEADS HIS OWN CAsE.--ln the Quarter
Sessions, Philadelphia, recently man named
Pierce Kitchen was brought to the stand. His wife
couldn't swear that her husband had ever struck
her, but swore that he indulged in whskey and
failed to support his family. The defendant who
plead not guilty, said that lawyers We're humbugs,
and informed the Court that he wDuld plead his
own cause. Dir Kitchen spread4 himself and
made speech. He faced the jary, and went
through the motions in a manner Tat would have
sous practitioners He informed the jury that,
having failed to prove that he had ever laid an
angry hand upon his wife, he couldn't possibly be
convicted of an assault upon her. AS to the other
charges he pleaded justification. "Mrs Kitchen,
gentlemen of the jury" said MIR Kitchen, "is a
member Of church, Mrs Kitchen forsakes her
Kitchen and spends half her time in the church
lecture room. While my brceches are running to
seed, and the children going. about with ll-kept
noses and dilapidated extremities, Mrs Kitchen is
ndugng in confab with lot of old ladies
about the shocking nudity of the South Sea Is
landers. While willing to provide for her, gentle
men of the jury, | amt willing to feed all the
brethren Of the church, nor to give Bohea parties
to twenty people twice week neither. If I've
got tight on the strength of such provocation,
gentlemen of the jury it amt bit more than the
best of you would have done if placed in my cir
cumstances; and if you me, and | was you
knowing the case as do-Td render verdict of
acquttal, and serve the woman right" Having
said this, Mr. Kitchen discontinued the subject
and the jury placing their heads together rendered
a verdict OF "Not guilty"

THE BALTIMORE OPPOSITION CONTENTION
In the leader Of the Richmond Whig occurs the
following:
at behooves the Baltimore Convention, there
fore, to subordinate all personal partiates and Sec
tOnal preferences, to the great and patriotic end
of nominating candidate, national in his charac-
ter and anteccdents, and the most available in all
Of the Confederacy. There many such men in
the Conservative Opposition ranks. At the South,
there Crittenden, Bell, Rives, Graham, Stuart;
and at the North, Everett, Hunter, Fuller, Win
throp, and many others. We have studously
omitted to mention John Minor Bolts for the
reason that his pretensions simply ridiculous,
and for the further reason that, though nominated
by thousand Conventions he would scarcely poll
fifty thousand votes in all the Southern STATES"
If our neshbor had added, ''and not one we
have named can ccrtoiny carry single State in
all the U"io"," he would not been very far from
the mark.-Richmond Enquirer.

for Manila, on a sunken reef The ship appears
to have broken up almost Immediately afterwards,
the crew escaping in the boats, but with scarcely
any provisions or water. For days and days,
exposed to a scorching sun, they suffered fearfuly,
and the horrors they subsequently endured were
of a character almost unheard of. They left tho
wreck in the boats on the 18th of July. From
that time till the lst of Sept they visited several
Islands in the hope of obtaining food, but failed.
They then resolved to draw lots as to which of
them should sacrifice his life for their benefit, and
after five days delibcration they killed of the
negroes and his body was quickly devoured. Some
days afterwards they resolved to murder another
negro for the same purpose. The man was asleep
at the time, but, waking up and hearing of their
intention, attempted to escape by jumping over
board. shot fired by one of the crew killed
him the spot, and his body was eaten. In this
horrible the subsisted till the 10Th of
September, when they were picked up and landed

by the Legislature of that State in relation to
