A PIECE OF HISTORY.

The following letter from Hon. Samuel J.
Bayard, published in the Philadelphia Age,
is an interesting account of the action of the
United States Senate in 1926, relative to the
election of Senator by his own vote;
CAMDEN, March 80, 1866.
To Tie Editors Of MeAge:
GENTLEMEN: In the Age, in referring to
the election of Ephraim Bateman to the
Senate of the United States, by his own vote,
in 1926, mot 1929 in joint meeting of the
Legislature of New Jersey, you remark
"The legality of his vote was never ques-
toned either in New Jersey or in the SEN
ate of the United States" This is q mistake.
Eminent gentlemen of the jackson party
desired that il should be settled by the SEN
ate Of the United States, whether member
of the Legislature had a right to vote for
himself for Senator. A protest was prepared
denying the existence Of any such right
John Il. Eaton, Senator from Tennessee
offered the protest to the Senate-Mr. Nah.
Ion Dickerson, from considerations of delica-
cy to his colleague, declining to present it.
The protest was referred to committee
consisting of the ablest lawyers In the Sen.
ate. Among Others Mr.. Van Buren, of New
York, Mr.. Berrien, of Georgia, and think
II remember correctly, Mr. Tazewell, o
Virginia, were members of the committee.
The committee reported that there wa
nothing in the proceedings of the joint meet
ing referred to illegal or improper, inva.ida
ting the election of DIR. Bateman.
Thus the Senate of the United States de
liberately determined that Senator coul;
righufully vote for himself Hence 1t fol
lows that Mr. Stockton, in voting in favo
of the validity of his election, was justifie,
in so doing by the only precedent on the sub
ject to be found in the annals of Congress.
| Your obedient servant,
SAMUEL j. BAyARD.

table. Slight noises which are scarcely per.
ceptible to man in robust health, causes
him much pain. Want of sleep has been
great and almost the principal cause of
his nervous excitability. This has been
produced by the tramp Of the creakinr
boots of the sentinel on the watch around
the prisoners's room, and the relieving of
the guard at the expiration of every two
hours, which almost invariably wakens
him. The prisoner Davis, states that he has
scarcely enjoyed two hours Of sleep unbrok-
en- at one time since his confinement. Means
have been taken by placing mating on the
hoors for the sentinel to walk ON, 10 alleviate
this source of his disturbance, but with only
partial success. His vital condition Is low.
and he has but little recreation, and should
ne be attacked by any of the diseases or

fears for the result. A copy of this report /

EVACUATION TO MgxIco.-Col. Morgan, of
this city, has just returned from visit 10
Cordova, Mexico. He brings bad news in
reference TO the state of affairs over there
He says the whole affair of emigration to
Mexico, with view 10 bettering ones con-
dition in that country, Is humbug. Gen.
Price is laboring with his own hands among
his laborers. The guerrileros hold the en-
tire country away from the immediate vi
cinity OF the larger towns, and shoot down
an American or ex-confederate yenturing
among them, as readily as the would a
Freedman or an Austrian.
Col. Morgan returned from Mexico through
the whole length of Texas ard the Red River
country. lie says there is now the prospect
of the finest crops in Texas that has been
seen Tor years-particularly of cotton. But
the whole Red River bottom, from Indepen-
dence down, as well as the Mississippi delta
from New Orleans to Memphis, is overfown.
He saw but one or two plantations In culti-
walton on the river from New Orleans 10 this
place. The ruinous devastation caused by
the overflow beggars description.--Msmphis

AUGUSTA, May 2o.--The newspaper ac-
counts from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida South
Carolina AMI North Carolina, represent the
growing crops Of cotton as seriously injured
by the cold weather. Heavy rains and over
how of cotton lands, and bad defective seed
in a great measure is the cause OF the
failure. Growing cotton is looking yellow
Not any more than one-third Of the crops
will be realized, as planters throughout the
country are blowing up bad stand and plant
ing corn The estimated crop cannot ex'
ceed one and half million bales.

The Atlanta (Ga,) Intel. igener says Of the
crop generally in that State:

For several days past, We have been en-
gagged in collecting all the information we
possibly could. relative to the prospects of
the present growing cotton crop In our State.
From all our sources of information, the
conclusion has forced itself upon III, that tho
result OF this years planting will prove TO be
a most Improbable one for our farmers. Tho
crop will turn out 10 he an exceedingly short
one, IL the half that has been reported TO US
be true---which Ia, that most Of the seed
planted has proved TO be imperfect, the plant
itself, after It's appearance above ground,
almost invariably failing To take root and
sustain its growth. On very many plantations,
there will be an entire failure on others,
only partial, some less. This, with the ex-
pertinent OF free labor, now being tried In
the State, warrants, we think, the conclusion
10 which We have come, that the cotton crop
OF Georgia will be an exceedingly small one.

Miss Evans is about twenty three years Of
age, is well formed, of medium height. has
hazel eyes and a magnificent head. She has
a fair, smooth skin very superior tenpera-
ment, being mixture of the sangune and
nervous. The brain of Byron 1t Is said, did
not seem to be more than two-thlrds the size
OF that of Cuvier, but owing to the finensss
OF It's texture and great d,nsity, 1t weighed
within a few drachms Of the brain of the il.
iustrious naturalist. The temperament of
Byron was mixture of the sanguine and
nervous--identically the same as that Of Miss
Evans. am not prepsred to give a critical
opion Of Miss Evans principal works, nor

neither the time nor space.
She informed me that she was engaged on
work at present which she hoped 10 be
