The thief that was sent to the
New York State Prison, some DAYS
ago, for forty years, was tried, con.
victed and sentenced under the
name of Francis e. Pinto. General
Pinto, of the United States Army,
happening to see his own name thus
disgraced, called at the Toom bs to
see the rascal, and found that he
was fellow once drummed out of
his regiment, and who had sought
to-avenge himself by thus stealing
the Generals namc. That was
good, but the carpet-baggers, who
turn up at Washington as "South-
ern Senator's" beat it all to pieces.
When we remember what "South.
ern Senators were, when such mon
as Calhoun, and McDuffio, and Clay.
and Grundy, and Jefferson Davis,
Robert Toombs, etc, were "South-
ern Senator's" we must admit that
the carpet-b baggers nowin Washing
ton beat the Park Bank thief out OF
sight, for he stole trash, while they
fitch honest mems regulations and
make them poor indeed.-Nev York

1t is not worth While to read

"MAoK," the witty cores
pondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writes from Wash
ington, under date of Febru-
airy 25, as follows:
"That large mass of confding Re.
publicans who have been looking to
the present Congress for relief from
existing 6nancial emharrassments ts
