Draper & Taylor's Celebration.

If Messrs Draper & Taylor's demonstration
upon the occasion of Mr.. Lincoln's re-inaugu.
ration, which was to take place yesterday,
from Maine to California, was as tame nm af.
fair elsewhere a. in this city, the celebrating
capacity of the American people must have
appeared ct Q great disadvantage. At the
suggestion of the merchants meeting bust.
ness was pretty generally suspended in the
city, and the sidewalks were thronged with
clerks and shop girls roaming to and fro in
search OF the celebration. But beyond the
suspending of business very little was accom-.
ptsbed which could add any greater dignity
to the day than what was conferred by the
brief ceremonies which took place at Wash.
ington. If what there TRANSFERRED does not
render the occasion illustrious ,uothiug occur
red here can help the matter. and the 4th of
March, 1865, must be remembered merely as
q plain matter Of fact Saturday. - .r'sr
azItwas a little, singular, however, that Dra-
per d Taylor, having undertaken to get up
so mammoth celebration, should after all
have forgotten to send around any fire works.
They certainly could not have supposed that
the display of sky rockets and roman candles
in New York City would have suficed for
the graping multitudes all the way from the
Aroostook country to the Pacific. The ar.
rangements for the celebration were either
made upon O scale quite in contrast with the
customary hberality of those "loyar gentle.

The Late Illinois Los
lslature.
Who opened the embarrassing
a3s = Revelations. ~

The Springfield correspondent OF the ST.
Louis Democrat writes to that paper, under
date of Feb. %, rs follows:
The opening of the ball Of bribery and
corruption during the late sessiou'is entirely
due 70 the oppoaents OF 'Gov. Yates IN the
senatorial contest. They made no secret of
whatever means lay 10 their power. And,
secondly, not only places, but money were
offered for votes As afidavits to this effect
have been made and presented to Mr.. Lincoln,
it is useless to dwell long on this very painful
subject. ,..,t.i.t
Next came the Chicago horse railroad,
which nstnrally took the same .'ehute"as the
senatorial question. The same SGT of men
ran il, and they probably knew how to use
the same sort Of means to ineure success
They failed in the senatorial contest, but
sueeeeded in the railroad. Thsif great mis-.
taxa, however. was thai they did not or could
mot snocesd in reconcilinG ell the conficting
newspaper interests. or rather IN securing
all the editors of each establishment. Wheth
or they thought that they had secured the
controlling men and were mistaken, or that
the controlling men sold out to the oths- side.
after having been, rs it was thought. secured
for the railroad, will perhaps never be known
to the outside world. Were to give the
more than rumors freely circulated here on
this subject. the eyes of the public would
open wide akthe development not as yet made
public. 600. gsr1
.Another means by which the public were cheat
ed and deceived in this, "a well rs other legisla
lures, was bv the passage of bills in fraudulent
manner. That is, a man wants a certain bill
passed, GENERALLY fer personal reasons); he ac-
cord;re'- procures some member to offer it, (tte
title no. at all indicating the nature of the bill)
il is next referred to committee the owner fol
lows it there manages or Municipalities the men,
bers and finally succeeds in having his bill pass
ed in one of the many "omnibuses," that is in
one of the packages of forty, fifty or one hundred
bills, which are run through together. In this
way man from Chicago, named Vim. H. Staw,
succeeded in passing an act altogether changing
the law of landlord and tenant, and under which
act he is now prosecuting q case of ejectmeEt in
ing a man who has occupied lot for fourteen
years in that city. The idea of q man thus get
ting act passed by the Legislature to suit his
own particular case, is rich commentary on our
modern legislation and constitutional govern
ment generally. Another of the same kind
was that in which the clerk of the house was con.
cerned. He came very having bill passed
iegislating himself into Office till 1870, an office
calculated to be worth S25, 900 per annum. Al
the time this bill virtually legislated anoth

form of legislation. In old times there toe
much personal honor among members to allow
any such fraud to be perpetrated.

Letters to ssOld Buck, Unanswered.

Among the rebel Jacob Thompson's letters,
found in his house when it was burned in Mississ-
ppi, was one from Howell Cobb, and to that let.

on his nomination and election to the presidency.
Old Buck volunteered letter of thanks to Col

might have, that was within his Buchanan s)pow-

The human pulse has in all ages been con.

kind of dial within US which gives both

about seventy years. the pulse of n temperate
person beats two billion, FIVE hunSsea>-ana,

should happen, a drunken persons might live
until his pulse beat this number Of times !;
but by the constant stimulus of ardent spirits,
or by pulse quickening food the pulse becomes
greatly accelerated, and the two billion, FIVE

dred and forty thousand pulsations are per-
formed in little more than half the ordinary
term of human life, and life goes out in forty

application of numbers is given to show that

the Inaugural Address.

The inaugural addresses of the past presidents
ofathe United States are among the best Of our
state papers, Profound in their comprehension
of the principles of the government; exalted in
their aspirations magnifcient- in their patriot
SIN broad, LIBERAL catholic in their nationality;
elevated in their literary style--they will stand
forever rs the grandest monuments of American
craftsmanship. They we're consonant with the
national character. IA They were the natural pro-
duct of the glorious years in which the republic
grew from its revolutionary birth TO be the
most powerful nation on the face of the earth
Contract with these the inaugural address of
abraham Lincoln, delivered in the city of Wash
ington on Saturday, and printed in these col
umns this morning "What a fall was there

in literary construction, but in its ideas its sen
