POVERTY OF STATESMEN. - Statesmen
generally fail to secure fortunes. They
devote themselves to pursuits which, II
honestly adhered to, rarely yield rich re.
wards. Jefferson died comparatively poor,
Indeed, If Congress had not purchased his
library, and given for it five times it,
value, he would with difficulty have KEEP
the wolf from his door. Madison saved
money, and was comparatively rich. Tc
add to his fortune, or rather that Of his
widow, Congress purchased his MANUSCRIPT
papers, and paid $4,000 for them. jaime,
Monroe, the sixth President Of the United
States, died IN New York poor; his re.
mains found a resting place through the
charity Of one Of his friends. John Quincy
Adams left some $4,000, the result oil
industry, prudence and inheritance. He
was a man Of method and economy,
Martin Van Buren, died very rich. All
through his political life he s.udiously
looked out for his own interest. It is no,
believed that he ever spent much in poll
tics. Daniel Webster %squandered some
millions in his lifetime, the product of his
professional and political speculations.
He died leaving his property to his chill.
dren and his debts to his friends. The
former sold for less than $4,000 and the
latter exceeded $3.50, 900. Henry Clay
left q very handsome estate. It probably
exceeded $1,000, 900. He was q pruden,
manager and a scrupulously honest man,
James K. Polk about $3.50. 900, $500
Of which he saved from his Presidency OIL
four years. John Tyler left 100000. Be.
fore he reached the Presidency he was
bankrupt. In Office he husbanded his
means snd then married a rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left $4,000.

A PLAN REQUIRED, AND ACTION
THRRzoN.-On the 4th Of April, Senator
Stewart, in the course Of remarks BY
which he was trying to obtain a vote on
his joint resolution (No. 4S) concerning,
# not covering, the reconstruction
difficulty, said:
I was told constantly when I com.
planned that no person produced q plan,
and I was told in rather q derisive man.
ner: "You produce q plan" I studied
for a long time what I conceived to be the
sentiment of the country, and without re-
gard to preconceived notions, without re-
gard to my own preferences one way or
another, I endeavored to produce a plan
which should embody the principles Of
mercy and justice, and as far as possible
reflect the sentiment Of the country.
The outside world is now saying that
Congress does not intend to adopt this or
any other plan /; and although l repudiate
the charge as without the slightest foun-
dalton, It is still constantly charged in the
public press that there is no sincerity in
| this matter on the part Of Congress; that
the only object in pretending to be for
some plan Of restoration is to use Sem
ators and Representatives for other
purposes. This I repudiate but still 1
cannot avoid feeling the absolute ne
cessity resting upon me to do all in
my power to secure a plan on which we
can 60 before the country. Union men
everywhere say to Us, " We can not up.
prove Of the Presidents plan altogether,
but we want some other plan what is
your plan. 10 It true that you are seek
ing q dissolution Of the Union Is !,
true that you will not consent to any pro-
position for restorationi Is It true thai
you will not allow the Union to be restor-
ed upon any termsF" Every man who
goes out from here to talk to the people
has got to pledge his honor that such ID
not the fact, or they they will not hear
him. I and other speakers have pledged
our honors that Congress would act, and
that speedily, on this important question.
1t 10 also important that whatever plan
be adopted, shall be an entirety and shall
cover the whole subject. Isolated propo.
sitions will not answer the purpose. In
almost every scheme It happens that there
is something good which we like, and thai
there 10 at the same time something in II
that we do not like, but which we vote
for in order to get the good the bill con.
tains. Very few bills pass this House oil
the other where each member approves oil
all their provisions, but he is willing to
take the good with the evil. In order thai
any plan shall be adopted here, it is neces'
sary that it shall contain every PROPOSE.
ton essential to a final settlement, and
then it can be sustained not only here but
elsewhere.

LEGATION recently issued by the Secretary
of the American Colonization Society
During the year 1855, the American
Colonization Society gave passage to and
settled in Liberia Ave hundred and twenty
seven colored persons. The last expedi-
ton, which sailed from Baltimore, Novem-
Der 4,h, included l72 Of the class known
AZ freedmen from in or near Lynchburg,
virginia. Intelligence Of the landing OF
the latter at Monrovia, on the l4th Of De-
cember, and Of their satisfaction with their
adopted country, has been received. To
those intending to emigrate thither, but
who have no, made application, it is ne
ccssary to say that they ought to do so
wi,hou. further delay. To worthy colored
persons the American Colonization Soci-
ETY. will furnish a comfortable passage to
Liberia, with support on the way, and
provide shelter and subsistence during the
frat ak months after arrival at any place
in the Republic which the emigrants shall
select a. their future residence. Five acres
OF land for each single adult, or from seven
to ten acres for a family, are also freely
given. Schools, seminarie,, and a college,
all Offered by members Of their own race
are open to the children of new.consr.
without charge of tuition. Churches Of the
several denominations abound. The use.
full trades and ~callings are successfully so,.
lowed. Agriculture is prosecuted, and
commerce is increasing"

The Philadelphia public have been ex.
cited over a remarkable contest between
an elephant, and his keeper. The animal
having become unmanageable, was secured
by chains in the middle Of his Enclosure,
and deprived Of food and drink. This
only seeming to make him more refractory
(as would seem very naturaD, his attempts
to escape were met by firing q dozen loads
into his head from q rife. One Of them
destroyed his right eye, but this Is la
mented IS an accident. Then an appara-
tus was rugged to throw him from his feet,
and he was laid on his side and kept there
until he became entirely docile. He is
now as good as new, with the exception
of the loss of an eye. The elephant, who
is called Romeo, is now the largest in the
country, being nearly ten feet high, and
weighing over five tons. "

Shocking Murder OF n Policeman.
MARYsvILLB, May l0.-C. S. Doebler,
for several years connected with the police
force Of this city, was attacked and fatally
wounded by two assassins, last night.
Mr.. Doebler lives on A street, a short dis
lance from the corner Of First. On his
way home, about half.past IL o'clock last
night, as he was turning the corner Of
First and A, he was fred upon from be-
hind Q high fence. he endeavored to
draw his pistol, but was unable to do so,
on account of q wound in his right hand.
Although the firing was kept up with
effect, ne succeeded in reaching q house
near by, whence he was removed to his
own residence. He does not know how
many shots were fred in all, but is
wounded in the right hand, in the left
arm between the elbow and wrist, through
the lower portion of the stomach, and in
the left side below the breast. The pistols
used were of very large size, and were SO
near the body as to burn the clothes and
blacken the flesh with powder. But lit
tie hopes are entertained Of his recovery.
The efforts which are being made to dis
cover the assassins render 1t improper at
present to indicate on whom suspicion
rests. =
