personal ex perience, that no bill whose
passage will confer pecuniary advan-

can be passed In Albany except by
bribery-except by paying members to
pass it. No man can get his rights; or

We have to thank the Philadelphia
PreSs for calling our attention to 1t. In

the Presidents speech from the White
House, on the22d ofFebruRry, 1865, In
the course of which he denounced

"A dispatch to the New York Com

Colfax will devote the greater portion
ofthe recess tolecturing in the various
States, with a view Of obtaining the
Presidential nomination, ain case It
should not be found necessary to nom
mate General Grant, who will be
selected only as a last resort" We
rather think the popular Speaker of the
House is featuring for the $3.50 he re.
eeives, without which he could not
afford to ornament the Speakers chair.
1T looks as IL JEFF. Davis would yet
becomea power in American politics.
His opinions are used by partfsans
upon what has been facettously called
the .sback action" principle-that is to
say, as soon as it is found out what he
thinks upon any measure, the free and
independent voters are expected to vote
in an opposite direction. For example,
it was u strong argument against Mr..
English in the late Connecticut election
when 1t was given out that Davis de-
sired his success; and the defeated party
are now harrassing the Democrats
with u remark attributed to the rebel
chief, that he was delighted with the
Democratic triumph. 5 .1,.l. .l.,t5 "A
AS we have Seen pleased to learn
that England will not be angry with us
for annexing Russian America, we are
now pleased to learn that France is en-
tirely uuconcerned about the matter.
The Courier deS Eats U1tiS tells us that
''France can witness this new aggran-'
ulZemeDt OF the Union with pdTJuit DIS
interesSement. 1t is not here that france
Is interested; and she has enough'to oc-
cupy her attention in other quarters

-orall the papers that come to an ed.
tors table, the Globe, during the ses.i
sions of Congress; hasuo rivallin the
quality OF dizziness. Searching its
dreary columns for a forcible, clear and
exact statement ofany question at issue
in which the people are interested, is
like wandering over Sahara in quest Of
cool fountains. The Globe may be a
necessity, and for aught we know its
volumes command a premium at book
sales, but we confess experiencing a
sense of relief in taking up a late num-
her aud finding less than column Of
Congressional proceedings and more
than two pages Orwell selected miscel
lany. 1t would be an excellent thing to
inscribe conspicuously on the walls of
either House Of Congress; and on every
Congressman's desk, the motto SO use
lessly paraded by the Globe, Wrhe
world is governed too much" :
