The Brewing Interest.

New YoKK. January 3l.--The Herald's
Washington special states that Messrs
Frederick, Janever, S.Herston and G.Gerst,
of Pennsylvania, w. b. Miller, of Illinois,
and NJ. Cleiner, of Ohio, representatives OF
the executive scomnittee of the United
States Brewers Ass >ciation, have arrived,
waiting upon the committee of Ways and
Means of the House, and had an interview
relating principally to the proposed revis-
lion of the internal revenue laws. They
will again be heard Tomorrow. A memo
rial in possession of the delegation states
the changes in the law which the brewer
interest of the country requires. They
claim that the deduction OF seven and a
half per cent. upon the sale of stamps
Fshould be increased to fifteen per cent,
They earnestly urge reduction of the
duty on Canada barley to the same figure
as before the expiration of the reciprocity
treaty, namely: five cents per bushel.
Rev. John NC MahOn.
The Herald's Washington special states
that there is every reason to believe that
the Rev. John Mcmahon, who is now ly-
ing in prison for the part he took in the
invasion of Canada, will be very soon lib
Grated. Certain influence here has been at
work which can hardly fail to secure that

TIE OLD PRoyxRn-An illustration Of

The OLD PRovERB-An illustration of
the old proyerb about fool and his money!
was illustrated in the case of a young man
named Stopel, who came to this city from
Sandusky, on Wednesday last and receiv-
ed some $4O0 on claim from T. w. Tall
madge. Finding that he bad overpaid the
claim, Mr.. Tallmadge endeavored to have
him return it. which, being refused, he pro-
cured warrant for Stopel's arrest. The
officer found his man at Madame Moore's,
or, as she is better known, at Madame
Brough's, spending his money like prince,
and champagne running like water. Being
taken before Squire Meeker, he, to avoid
trouble, paid Mr.. Tallmadge and departed
He then telegraphed to William F. Meyers,
Justice of the Peace of Sandusky, that he
had deposited 800, he owed him, in the
hands OF Esquire Meeker.- On Mr.. Meyers
arrival here, yesterday, he found the story
false, and at once took out a warrant for
Stopefs arrest, on charge of obtaining
goods under false pretences. The officer
found his man in the same place as at first,
flat broke" but raising thunder with his
usual ability. The case was certified to
Erie county, and will be tried there. Inn
mediately on his arrest the second time, he
made affidavit against the proprietor of the
Eagle tavern charging him with fraud
/, lently embezzling 500 from him. AS we
said at the outset, the entire case adds but
another name to the long list of those who
have already demonstrated the fact that a
fool and his morey are 500 n parted I'D

SPIv1Ns IL am exceedingly harassed by
the manifestations OF your animosity to-
ward OUR Wolf. From the first sitting OF
the Legislature Jacob, by common con-
sent, has been recognized as the giant in
tellect of the House. The traditional i'm
becility of the Hamilton county delegation
has been broken in upon, and Mr.. Wolf
stands forth as living, breathing mOnu-
ment to the intelligence and wisdom of
Porkopolis. Like the transcendant ~. N"
he assumes all the pressure. He is at once
the d'Israeli and Grimaldi of the House.
His eioquence is thatof Curran or Grattan
and his forensic ability is not
even dimmed by the lustre of
Patrick Henry. 1 have seen him when
in the heat and ardor of one of his incom-
parable and magnificent orations upon the
floor of the House, draw around him, by
his magic powers, hosts of members, as in
the days of the elder Adams and Webster,
who listened with intense interest to the
matchless oratory which fell from his
libidinors lips. He is the Cheualier Bdyard
or the Forum. His is the first instance
where police court shyster (this, we take
it, is a Greek word-SPIvINs;) D has risen to
the dignity and eminence which attaches
to party leadership in Legislative body,
and, as such, all credit is due. i-!
Of his patriotism and loyalty there is
not a shadow of question. He is far above
imputatiOn and it is related of him that
during the late disastrous and fratricidal
''set to-" he came near accepting the sutler-
ship of colored regiment. His, malig-
nancy toward the people of the South
grows out of the bitterness and aseryative
temperament engendered by the long suf-
tering OF his patient and enduring race.
