The President I'm Trouble!

MACK, ofthe Cincinnati Commercial, writes
from Washington, under date Of January
9th:
Mr.. Lincoln expressed his troubles to {
gentleman who called on him, few days
ago, in the following language:
The military men, it seems to me, will
keep me in trouble all the time OIL their ac-
count. One day Senator Lane, of Indiana
calls on mo aud acks me why don't give
Lew. Wallace command. tell him that
Halleck says Wallace is of no account and
ought not to have command. He goes al
me, then, and says Halleck isn't worth 8
cent and Oughtn't to have cent. Halleck
wants to kick Wallace out, and Lane wants
me to kick Halleck out"
"Well, said the visitor, ''I'll tell you
how to fix it to the satisfaction of both par
ties" rr
''How is that" inquired the President.
"Why, kick 'em both out" was the reply
mo" said Mr.. Lincoln, shat wont do
i think Halleck is good man. He ma,
not be. OF course, don't know much
about such things. / may be Judge OF
good lawyers, but don't know much about
Generals. Those who ought to know say
he's good"
"Well," said the visitor, ''if you don't
know, you ought to know; and If the peo-
don't know that Halleck is fool they think
they do, and that is all the same"

Both branches of the Legislature ad-
journed again, on Saturday forenoon, un-
til Monday; and most of the members went
home. 1t was only on Tuesday of last
week, that they returned from their five
days spree; and now they must go again.
at the expense of the taxpayers Of the
State. What are we coming toY The Abo-
lition members seem to be laboring to make
this session as long as possible, and to OPP
press the people all they can by excessive
taxation.
Nothing worthy Of note was done last
week--even when they pretended to be at
work-except what they did in their efforts
to deprive the Democratic members of their
Constitutional and Parliamentary rights.
Spending much valuable time in trying TO
expunge from the Journal of the House a
PROTEST of the Democratic members, and
claiming that 1t was clearly their constitu-
tional duty to do it, they turned round the
next day and deliberately resolved that
there were grave constitutional doubts i'm
the way of expunging PROTEST! Then
when the Democratic members again PRO-
TESTED against further unwarranted and
unjustifable action of the majority, Co
LUMBus DELANo speaking for that majorl-
ty, threatened the Democrats with ,expul-
sion, for daring to exercise their Rights
under the Constitution! DR.. OLDs replied,
and deficd him to come on with his expul-
sion resolutions. The majority, exhausted
by the stupehdous effort they had put forth,
subsidized, "dried up''-and had to adjourn
over and 20 home!

,rhc Isccchor salary.
The telegraph Incorrectly reported, q

The telegraph Incorrectly reported, few
daysago that the salary of H. WARD BEECH
ER had been advanced to S125OO. What
actually took place appears in the following
paragraph from New York paper:
a meeting was held on Friday evening
by the members of Plymouth Church, for
the purpose of considering the propriety
, of raising the salary of their pastor, Rev.
Henry Ward Beechcr. Mr.. Bcechcr's salary
has been raised annually, so that from 81, 800
which he received on his call to the church
fifteen years ago, it had increased to $500
: last year.
Mr.. j. s. Howard presided. The object Of
. the meeting having been explained, Mr.
Bell moved that Mr.. Beccher's salary be
fixed at $4,000. Mr.. Fuller moved an
amendment that the salary be increased to
$4,000 and argued the point at length. Mr..
Beecher's disposition, he said, was very
charitable, and there were great drafts upon
his resources for the purpose of giving
away. In consequence of the deprecated
state of the currency his domestic expenses
were very high.
Mr.. Sizer thought tho church should be
just before they were generous, and ought
. to pay their $4,000 debt before raising Mr..
Beecher's salary.
Mr.. Graves moved, rs q substitute, that
Mr.. Beecher be presented with $4,000, leav-
ing the salary at $500.
Mr. Tanning objected, on account Of the
heavy tax on the poorer members. Many
of them had already been obliged to seek
salvation in cheaper sanctuary.
Mr.. Church advocated the advance on the
ground of Mr.. Beecher's services to his
country in Europe.
Mr.. Tanning thought that Congress
ought to pay for those services, and not the
church.
Mr.. Bell, in reply to the objection that the
advance would Involve n too burflensome
lieved In the Bible doctrine that the rich
so he rejoiced that the high rents kept the
poor out and gave the rich an opportunity
to come in.
After some further discussion. Mr.. Graves
motion to present Mr.. Beecher with $4,000
in addition to his yearly salary was agreed
to, and the meeting adjourned.
Either Mr.. BEECHER's teachings have a
very bad influence, or the Mr.. BELL report
ed above, and who was the first to propose
large advance in Mr.. BEEcHER's salary, Is
beyond the means of grace. This gentle
man evidently looks to inhabit a heaven of
millionailes, dressed up in greenbacks,
without recollecting where Dives had his
residence, or what the author of the religion
he pretends to profess said about the diff
Guilty of rich man entering heaven.

sIonsters--.Test-OatI,s.

This is said to be an age. in this country
at least, of strange events. 1t is called a
revolutionary age, and revolutionary times
produce strange monsters. Our present
revolution, If that name be proper, has
been prolific of new and unheard of births
that would, by their monstrosity, have star
ted our staid and conservative predecessors
of few years ago quite out of their pro-
priety. Nay, men are now found nursing
and petting these new and ugly bantlings
who twenty years ago would have loathed
the very thought of the possibility Of theii
existence.
A brood or species of these monsters has
lately come into existence under the appel
lation of "Test-Oaths." They are supposed
to have been generated, not in the mud ol
the Nile, but In the filth and slime Of radi-
cal Jacobin party politics. They are adj
mitted to be illegitimate, but are said to
have had necessary existence in the poo
of political corruption.
One of these monsters has recently seer
the light in the Capitol Of Ohio, under the
auspices of a DIR. Scorr as accoucheur OF
man midwife. The Doctor says 1t is very
innocent '.little thing" and will not do any
good radical Abolition soul the least harm
in the world. But it was bcgotten and
brought into the world, on purpose, (the
Doctor won't deny it) to poison the atmos-
phere by its horrid stencil, and render it un-
fit for anybody to breathe but those corrupt
and degenerate politicians whom the Doctor
and his school love and admire, and by
whom they are petted, feed and fed. But
the Doctor and his friends had better look
well to their pet monster; for it may become
so foul and fetid that it may inoculate them
all with disease that will prove certain
death to them politically.

AN ACT to amend the law prescribing the
articles to be admitted into the mails of
the United States.
Be IL enacted by the Senate and House NJ
REPRESENTATIVES Of the United States Of Ameri-
ca in Congress assembled, That articles of
clothing, being manufactured of wool, cot
ton or linen, and comprised in package
not exceeding two pounds in weight, adj
dressed to any non-commissiOned officer or

Approved January p, 1864.
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, Jan. 25, 1864.
The foregoing law is published for the in
formation of the public, and especially for
the guidance of Postmasters, and Is thought
to be so full and plain that no one can mis-
take its meaning. Postmasters will, how
ever,bear in mind that packages of clothing
entitled to pass in the mails-four ounces
for eight cents-must be manufactured from
wool, cotton or linen, ard not exceeding
two pounds in weight and must be address,
ed to non-cOmmissioned officer or private
serving in the armies of the United States.
Consequently, package addressed to a
commissioned officer, or composed of other
materials than as above specified, such as
boots, shoes, &C., If sent by mail, must be
prepaid by stamps at letter rates, viz: three
cents for every half ounce or fraction there
of.
