George Augustus Sala draws the
following queer sketch of Lord Broug-

House Of Lords:
Standing in the narrow Gothic

lic--the throne at the opposite extrem-
ity of the House-you NAV see on
one Of the benches to the right, almost
every afternoon, Saturday and Sun

very old man. with white head. and
attired in simple frock and trousers
of shepherds plaid. 1t is leonine
head, and the white locks are bushy
aud profuse. So, too, the eyebrows
peathouses to eyes somewhat weak
now but that can flash fire yet upon
occasions. The face is plowed with
wrinkles, as well as it may be. for
the old man will never see fourscore
years again. and of these threescore,
at the very least. have been spent in
study and the hardest labor. mental
and physical. The nose is marvel,
protuberant. rugose, aggressive, in
quiriug. and de6ant-unlovely, but
intellectual. There is . trumpet
mouth, belligerent mouth. project
ing and self-asserting; largish ears,
and on chin or cheeks no vestige OF
hair. Not beautiful man this, on
any theory of beauty. Hogarthesque,
Ruskinesque, Winelemanesque. or
otherwise. Rather a shaggy. gnarled

The mouth is fashioned to the saying
of harsh hard. impertinent things,
not cruel, but downright; but never TO

The Late Troubles in Madison
County. kentucky.

-
The following account of the late
troubles in Madison county. Ky, has
been handed us by a gentleman of this
city. Ii is a private letter, received
from Berca. XIV. The writer's name
has not been given us. as he would
fear violence if known. 1t will be
observed tht athis account purports to
be from an eyewitness of the scenes
described. We do not vouch for its
entire reliability. but are assured that
the letter is genuine and accurate.
Monday, the Goth of March, twen-
ty-four men, armed, came to Berea
and commenced securing the country
and searching houses for Mr. Hanson,
who had returned to take care of his
property. The mob first went to the
residences OF Messrs. Preston. Bland
and Huley. The most they did was
to insult the wives of these gentlemen.
At Mr.. Wright's. they threatened to
take him ont Of bed and paint him
They then proceeded to Mr.. Wateres'
cnffed him. pulled his hair. drew pis-
tolls, talked indecently to his wife. and
in various ways attempted to provoke
him to fight. Thence they proceed
ed to Mr.. Vests, who was sick-in
the last stages of consumption. He
saw them coming. and requested his
daughter to shut the door. The mob
came, broke down the door. searched
the house, insulted his wife. and left,
saying thy would "bring out buck
nigger for the benefit Of his daugh-
ter" After making other calls, they
went to Mr.. Burdit's, six miles from
Berea-drew pistols on his wife and
daughters-threw beds on the floor
said they "held the women as much
accountable as the men," They left
after making thorough search, and
returned to Berea. The Bercans in the
mean time, rallied and sought to de-
fend their wives and families from fur
ther violence.
Fifteen men, armed as best they
could. were on their way to Mr.
Vests. learning he had suffered great
violence, when they were met by the
mob. The mob called out to them in
the follwing menner-"What in hell
are you doing with your guns?" The
Bereans replied. 1--WE are going to de-
fend our families from violence. -
The mob now bore down upon them
in full gallop. crying. "shoot. shoot.
A number Of the Bereans made ready
TO FIRE; this made q halt in the mob.
the leader Of the Bereans told them
mot to fire until it was necessary.
and then to shoot to some purpose"
Part OF the mob dismounted. and

fifteen or twenty shots. The Bereans

From the New York Times.l
Mr. Buchanan is evidently aggriev.
ed. The Message which he sent to
Congress yesterday is one OF the mosf
lachrymose documents ever issued
from the White House. What il
lacks in dignity. it makes up in
wounded pride II is a vehement ap-
peal to public compassion. too hu-
initiating to inspire respect. and not
sufficiently dignified to enlist any con-
siderable degree of sympathy. II 10
in every respect q painful document
one which will be read everywhere
with surprise. and which is much
more likely to excite contempt than
any more amiable or respectful senti-
nent.
The House Of Representatives pro-
poses to inquire into the manner in
which Mr.. Buchanan has discharged
the Executive duties of which. during
ell his lite. he has sought the respon.
sibility. II he were a neophyie in
politics. ignorant Of political chicane-
~ and the arts Of intrigue and corrup-
ton which pave the way Of ambitions
and aspiring demagngues-if he had
been suddenly snstched bya dispair-
ing country from the seclusion OF pri-
vate life. and thrust into public SER
vice as the last hope Of q dccaying
Stste-there would be room to believe
his astonishment and his proteststions
to be sincere. But. a. he boasts in
this very Message. he has been in office
all his lite. He has filed every grade
of public trust He has climbed step
by step the ladder Of promo,ion-hs
has devoted I'll his life TO the one task
of mounting to the goal which he has
finally reached. There is nothing in
the shape ofintrigue. OF political trick.
cry. which he has not tried. and by
which he has not pro6ted. His prot
estations Of unsuspicious innocence
viii not carry conviction: nor will his
plea of gray hairs excite compassion.

What sort Of q case was it. that his
partisans so constantly sacrificed pub
lie business to it? Let us see. Mr..
Woods was elected Senator in 1854.
de served in the session of 1855. Not
long after Governor Wright appointed
him Moral instructor in the State
Prison, with q salary of 5000 per
annum. He accepted the appoint
ment, and drew the salary regularly.
as receipts signed by Gov. Wright, in
his behalf. and on file in the proper
office, prove. Still holding this Office,
and enjoying its pay. he came up to
the session of 1857, and took his seat.
A memorial was presented by d. o.
Daily. contesting his right to it.
The matter was investigated hy the
proper committee. and it was proved
by receipts for his salary. and by the
official record, that Mr.. Leroy Woods.
Democrat was actually holding two
offices. and drawing the pay of both.
The committee thought that was rath-
er too much, even for Democrat, and
they reported against his right to sit
as Senator any longer. They said in
accepting a second Office he vacated
the first, under the Constitution.
which prohibits any man from hold
ing two offices at once No Demo-
crat ever denied these facts, or con-
tended that Woods had any right to
act as Senator. No one will do it
now. Yet to keep this man in the
occupancy of two Offices at once. they
actually blocked up the States busi-
ness for a week at a time, during
which by revolutionary efforts, dila-
tory motions, and Mr.. Hammond's s
ruling, they managed to prevent the
Republicans from moving an inch
Thus came the defeat Of the bills which
Mr.. Hendricks laments. When the
session was nearly gone the Demo
Gratis tried to break the force of the
censure they had incurred by such
outrageous conduct, by pretending to
be very anxious to have these bills
passed, and they repeatedly moved to
pass over all other business and take
them up. But the Republicans held
them sternly to the consequences ol
their folly. and insisted that the bust,
ness which the Democrats had sc
long defeated should be taken in its
order. Even at that late day all the
bills would have been easily passed il
the Democrats had only adhered to
the agreement theymade to 60 through
the regular order with the contested
cases, but they refused. The history
Of the State does not present anywhere
so shameful record as that made by
tho DamocrofS in fhese conteSted
cases.
Having shown Mr.. Hendricks that
his own party are responsible for the
only evils he pretends to charge upon
Republicans. we desire to call atten-
tion to few points in the Admins
tration Of State affairs by Democrats,

boys were at work in the pit. so Of
VIII, m perished from the sitting ef-
fects of the choke-dsmp. An account
says:
The appalling intelligence wa. in .
few moments spread through the viii
lage and among the pit cottages. mes
sengers were sent of to the neighbor-
ing colliers for help. and men gallop-
cd in every direction for surgeons
An awful wall arose in the cottages
belonging to the men down the pit a.
the intelligence reached their families.
and then women and children flocked
to the pit mouth. where q frightful
scene ensued ss the men and lads who
had escaped were brought to the bank.
The deputies and overmen who were
not down in the pit forthwith COM
menced making efforts TO rescue those
who were known TO be IN the pit
Hundreds of persons remained on the
bank all night. mshy Of them women
and children. shivering in the cold air,
in breathless hope that some one
would come out of the pit togive them
intelligence OF father. brother or son. but
upon whom they were never destined
to gaze again. except as a blackened
corpse. A walk through the village
on Saturday afternoon showed that in
almost every third house there was .
corpse, or that preparations were msds
for one that was expected from the
pit.
The victims of this distressing cas-
uality are represented as a most intel.
ligent and superior clas. of workmen
