The withdrawal of Gen. MAcAULEY
from the contest for the Office of State
Printer, virtually decides the matter
in favor Nof1A. H. CONNER, Esq, of
the indianapolis Journal. General
MAcAULEY was the only person mem
toned in that connection who could
control any serious opposition to Mr..
CONNER, and the fact that Gen.
M. is Is satisfied that under existing
circumstances, the odds against sue
cess make it a worse than useless
race" fully establishes Mr.. CoNNER's
election, as the case now stands.
III The Indianapolis Gazette, with
which Gen. MAcAULEY has dissolved
his connection, assures its friends
that it will not abandon the field,
though its leader has faltered by the
wayside J" and takes occasion to com
ment, in not very -fattering terms,
upon the conduct of Gen. MAcAULEY,
in the contest SO suddenly closed by
his withdrawal from the field. The
General has many warm friends in
the Legislature, who are not to be
won to the support of the Gazette by
invidious, reflections upon him. But
the weak pointEith the Gazette, and
that which will ultimately decide the
question against it, is the course it has
pursued IN the discussion ofthe ques4
ton of United States Senator. While
We believe it has.not formally declared
against Governor MoRToN, its lean
tines have been clearly against him,
| its5l columns have been used by
his enemies, and the strongest oppo-
nents Of the Governor are the Gazette
warrnest friends.

LONG JOHN WENTWORTH, who rep
resents Chicago in Congress is rare
specimen. and frequently perpetrates
good joke. We gave yesterday an
illustration, from the Memphis Ap-
peal, Of the Southern Indifference to
readmissiona into the Union as States.
4prao,ppos to the Appeals illustra-
ton, we publish the following extracts
from speech of LONG JOHN, The
point was so apparent that it convulsed
the House with laughRera NJ h9lld
/ A traveller was one day ,accosted by a
snake from undef 3 rock, aslsihg to be let
out. The traveller at first was afraid of the
CONSTITUENCIES, ana told the snake that he
was afraid he would bite him if he was let
out. The snake asserted th al he had been
under the rock along timeT that he regret
ted his natural propensities, and was re-
solved Hereafter to effectually control
them. After much parleying, the traveller
compassionately removed the rock, and he
andIot heb snake Travelled along some
distance agreeably together. Finally
he snake said tl1ei feltlIike biting some
body that he might not bite the traveller; :
but his venomous propensities had re-
turned with such Strength that he could
not much longer control himself. He con-
tended that thespromise, he had made was
made under duress; that God had made
him for snake; that he had no other
functions to perform than those of a
snake. The traveller entreated him to con-
troll himself, and reminded him of his
original promise. The matter was finally
compromised by agreeing to leave the
question in dispute between them TO the
first three animals they should meet. The
first was the wolf. He decided that the
snake was restored to his original rights,
and that his promise made while under
duress was not binding. The next animal
met was the lamb, who decided in favor of
the traveller, and was an favor of peace
among all animals. The third animal met
was the fox. Before he could give his opin-
ion he wanted to survey the original prem
ises. Upon reaching them he asked the
snake to lay down in exactly the position
he was in when the traveller found him.
He then asked the traveller to place the
rock as it originally was. This being done,
he said: This case requires great deIibera-
ton, and we. must take time to consider
It," And so he and the traveller passed on.

The authors Introductory note
gives a good idea of the scope and in
tent of the work. He presents for
review neither style nor language; he
offers simply the story of the wrong
and the heroism, the cause and the
effect as it rises in his mind" ''Neither
does he at this late date seek to re-
kindle the smouldering embers of
hate and conflict, nor, Antony-like,
attack persons under the recital of
wrongs" Vengeance does not be-
long to the human race. ''-''T There
are times in the history of men when
human invectives are without force

no judges and which, nt-withoat
appeal, direct to the tribunal of God. !"

sr9.a{ THE PAY OF CoNGREssMEN.s 1'A
The impression appears to be general In
the House of Representatives that the bill
to Increase salaries having been passed at
the last session, members are legally, oblig-
ed to accept the extra pay. we assure
them that no penalties will be enforced
against amy member who declines the
money. The method by which Congress
secured that extra pay was, especially dis
creditable because, 1t was eowardly. The
people expect to see the act raising the
salaries repealed, and the mileage cut
down TO decent figure. Had 1t not been
for, the transcendent importance of other
subjects, the recent elections would have
convinced even Mr. briggs that the people
were disguised with the extra sswindle.
But now that the question between Mr..
johnson and Congress is settled, the mem
bers who vote against the repeal of the ap-
preparation will not be overlooked.

guilt was conclusive. They were followed from
