An Incident Of the Inauguration.

One of tho Representatives of this State in
Congress reports an interesting and rather
funny incident Of tho Inauguration, which,
not having seen in print, we record: On
approaching the platter where he was to
take his oath and be inductcd into the Office
Of Chief Executive, Mr.. Lincoln removed his
hat and took the sea- assigned him. The
article seemed to be burden. lie changed
it awkwardly from one hand to the other, and
finally, desparing Of finding for it any other
easy position, deposited it upon the platform
beside him. Senators aud Judges crowded
in, and to make room for them he rcmoied
nearer the front Of the stage, carrying his tile
with him. Again it was dandled uncasily,
and MS Senator Baker approached TO introduce
him TO tho audorro, lao n'olo InocIon as II
10 replace the tile on the stage under the seat,
when Douglas, who had been looking on
quietly, and apparently with some apprehen
sions Of a catastrophe TO the hat, said, "por.
nit me, Sir and gallapt'y took tho vcxa-
cious article and held Il during the entire
reading of the hauguraH Drc must have
reflected pretty seriously during that half
hour, and instead Of delivering an inaugura,
address from that portico, he was holding the
hat Of the man who was doing it.

Our Personal Liberty Bills.

The Legislature Of this State has done a
wise thing in refusing to constitute itself n
judicial tribunal, and as such, to Judge Of the
constitationality Of the acts Of its predeccs
sors. They were elected for no such purpose.
If they found any laws upon the statute
books injurious to the interests Of the State,
they undoubtedly had the right, and it was
their duty, TO repeal them. But they were
not required to repeal any laws simply because
certain parties pronounced them unconsttu-
tona, so long rs they did not conflict with
the rights of tho people. 1. is the province
of the Supreme Court TO decide whether laws
passed by the Legislature are constitutional
or not. The people pay the Judges for doing
that very service. Our court has gwen no
such decision. Itis true some ef the individ
uas compo,ing that Court have volunteered
private opinion. But it has no moro binding
force than the option Of the Police Justice Of
Detroit would have. When the case comes
properly before them, and is decided uncon
stitutional. these laws should be repealed.
The Legislature has consulted its dignity 10y
not meddling with them before.

More Temperance Legislation.

We have got another Prohbitory Liquor
Law, and OF course everybody will stop drink
ing, without they want to drink five gallons
Of ale and one of cider at time. They all
stopped drinking when the law now amended
was first adopted, didn't they9 Some people

isation are done away with, because it has
been liied and found failure. When the
law stood the temperance men did not on
force it, and they won't do so now. We do
not blame them for this, for with the present
public sentiment upon tho subject, its enforce.
m,nt, except in exceptional instances, is i'm
possible. Why, then, enact any more deed
I,ttcr laws? The most the Prohibitory law
ever did, was to drive men for n time from
public and social TO private and solitary, and
hence more dangerous drinking habits. 1t
~ adc mcn more dishonest and tricky, while
it did not keep them from drinking. The
very pre- ,ence for the change now made in the
law is to guard against trick. One trick
will simply succeed another trick and the ncxt
Legislature will have TO amend tie law tc
meet some other trick. All sun ptuary laws
Of this kind have been demonstrated to be
inciIcctiyc-totalIy so, but they will be tried
over and over again, Just rs men will try
Over aud over again by usury laws to regulate
tho value Of money. - Detroit Tribune.

would show himself, he would put his mouth
in such condition that he would not repeat
the operation for week TO come. Thereup-
on Mr. George G.. Henry Of Mobile arose
from his seat, and stated that he was the sil''

The AmOOr River,

The last number of Hunts Merchants
Magazine, contains paper on commercial
progress in Eastern Asia and particularly the
regions wa'ered by the Amor river. From
it we learn that the foreign trade of the
Amoor, though at present small. is almost
monopolized by Americans. In 1860 some
fifteen foreign ships entered the river and
nearly all were American and from the port
of San Francisco. 1t is gratifying to note
that since 1856, the first wear of foreign in
tercourse, the trade between the United
States and Eastern Asia has been steadily
and rapidly on the increase, and that we are
able to anticipate that within a few years
some 25,OOO, 900 will be added to the mum
Der of the consumers Of our produce and
manufactures. The Emperor of Russia. who
has given frequent expression to the friendly
feelings he ente ,ains for our Government is
doing his utmost to facilitate American en-.
terprise in this portion of his domnioas.
He has granted special privileges, guaranteed
protection, and is now engaged in construct
ing line of telegraph from st. Petersburg
to the Pacific ocean, which will be completed
in three years. The importance of the
Amoor trade to the United States cannot be
overeslinaed. The people of Eastern Asia
are Industrious and readily acquire taste
for commodities of American production,
for which they exchange hemp, flax, turpan-
tine. skins, pelis, wool, hides. tallow, pre'
cious stones. wax, ivory, pearls and vast
variety of other articles both of an orna-
mental and useful character. 1t is cacuat
ed that they can supply US with $50, 100000
worth of tea and 3O,OOO,OOO of sheep skins,
and purchase from us from ten to twenty
millions of dollars worth of cloth, per an
mum The Amoor is navgable for steamers
two thousand miles in extent and here again
is an opening for the American ship builder.

the point at this end of the wire passes
