A Western Congressman.

"MAcK, the Washington CORES
pondcnt of the Cincinnati C6nmer-
cioi gets of the following on some
Western Congressman:
Among the audience at Growers,
to witness the performance of Ham
let, by Murdoch, iew evenings since,
were a couple of Western gentlemen,
one Of them a Congressman. After
the play they went to saloon, near
by, to have an oyster supper, and
while indulging in this repast, they
commenced u critical conversation on
thoirevenings drama tic entertainment. on
In reply to question as to how he
liked Murdoch's Hamlet, the NJ. e..
remarked, with an air of candor and
seriousness. that he really didn't see
much to like in it. They played Ham
let great deal better in his town.
Especially in the scene between Ham.

so ago, looked terrible just as if h,

But this man We saw tonight didn

Hamlet as they had it out in his town

Scandal at the Italian Court.

A Florence Correspondence of the
London Star, dated October 2S, says:
1t is evidently high time to marry
Prince lIumbcrt. lie has been now
allowed long enough to cultivate that
particular field of oats which yields
cakes to others besides wild Scotch
men. In the mean while, Prince
lIumbert will go to Naples again, to
spend the winter and a great deal of
money. Scandal says he is over head
and cars in love aud debt. A Lom.
bard banker, whose name figured in
the Bastogi business, is said to have
obliged his Royal lIighness, lately,
with loan of Two Hundred Thou
sand pounds, and another Lombard
housc-not banking house, though,
is said to have got clear of all his
debts, of which il was known to have
u great many; aud these two state.
ments form combined topic of com.
mon talk in Milan circles. Verify, it
is time for this fast young Prince to
get steady by marriage. Indeed, the
evil tongue pretend that the matrimo-
NAL yoke alone can now save him.
There is probably oxagcration in these
rumors, but they are not baseless.--
Nor are the Kings own affairs quite
in such an order as one might desire,
The three millions given up last year
by the civil list, to relieve the nation
al finances, were most sonsibly felt as
u loss to the donor than as gain to
the relieve !. The remaining twelve
form pretty round sum cer-
tainly; but " La moi ne mi pas de epeu,"
as said Rabclais. Sclla has lately been
sounded, as to whether the National
finances be not sufficiently relieved to
dispense with the royal three millions.
His reply is not known; yet some
thing is likely to be brought forward
at the next session for the increase Of
the Royal Family's income. The mo-
ton will not be apleasant one to make,
but it would no doubt be carried.

Reconstruction.

Reconstruction.
The debates in tho conventions IN
the Southern States show very clearly
tho animus of the Southern people
towards the old Union, aud canno
fail to be useful in aiding the Prcsi.
dent to determine clearly his line oI
duty towards them. The recent cleo.
tions in the south show more clearly
the immense power welded by
the aristocracy over the lower ORDER
of the people, for in almost cvcry case
where an aristocratic rebel was pittcd
against Union man, the former sue
cccded. Backed up by what they
claim as the popular suffrage, they
take their soats in the convcn.
