curious and not very creditable revelation
has recently been made in regard to the new
capitol at Albany, the cornerstone of which
was laid with such imposing ceremonies last
Saturday. The Albany Times states that the
original bill to authorize the construction OF the
building was defeated in the assembly for want
Of attention on the part o. its friends when, thu
day before adjournment, cit was ascertained
that il could be reconsidered and passed If two
thousand dollars, for distribution among twenty
members, at the rate OF one hundred dollars
each, should be forthcoming within an hour of
its passage"
OF course, the money was promised By promi-
nent citizen OF Albany, to whom the facts were
made known; the bill was promptly passed, as
agreed the money was raised and paid over ac-
eording to promise; and New York Is now to
have her new State House, as grand as any In
the country, II not the finest.
But Is II not sad and significant commentary
on the morals Of the times that an act to author
ize the erection Of the very building in which
the legislature Of the leading State in the Union
y to hold its sessions could only be passed by
that body through the instrumentaIity OF cor
ruption and bribery? And 50 disgracefully

The Plan of improvements.

The opposition to the plan OF improvements
recommended by the EOard Of Public Works Is
mainly political, and appears to be inspired
partly By the dispos itiOn to cripple the new gov
eminent as piece o. party tactics, and partly
because the disbursements may not be made in
way to help the ''outs" to the ascendency.
The organ Of that party here has labored
quite asSiduously to get up public meeting in
opposition TO the improvement plan promo ed
and well known lawyer o. the same nsYsv who
figured lately as a democratic candidate for
Congress in New York; has within a Few DAYS
appeared here and given much jealous labor
TO the task of working up this "spontaneous
demonstration" against the measure. A
call for meeting of the property
holders of the District to consider the
Improvement loan bill appears to-day, and
bears the signatures OF some twenty citizens NJ
high responsibility; but on the rule that all il
fair in politics The names of several of these
gentlemen appear without any authority.
and probably this may be the case with the
majority or them One of the gentlemen,
whose names are thus unceremoniously an
propriated, Is in Europe, another is in
the far West, where he has been for the last two
months, and several now in this city assure ma
that they not only never authorized the use or
their names, but that they are heartily In favor
Of the improvement measure.
There can be no objection, of course, to the
meeting. The more meetings and the more dis
cussion the better, but there should be a fair
understanding as to the auspices under which
they are held. We have no idea that the INTEL
hgent property-holders Of the District win op-
pose the plan of improvement. They have pro-
tested with reason against the purposeless manner
In which the public money has been sluandered
IN the past, and they appreciate the fact that
the new form OF government and mode Of super
vision Of Improvements is intended for their
relief. They are disposed to give the Board of
PublicWOrks the means to carry out their views.
and to hold them responsible for the results.

The old discussion on the propriety of abolish
ing the electoral colleges and choosing our
Presidents and Vice-Presidents directly bv
popular vote, has been revived in some of the
newspaperSit generally comes up the wear be-
fore the Presidential electiOn-and the Journalism
the big States are as usual arrayed against those
In the little ones. The former represent that.
under the present system, the many small
States have much more power, and the few
great States much less, than they would enioy
on direct vtoe-'which nobody can denv.,
New England, for example, has twelve Senators.
and consequently twelve electors at large, al
though her aggregate population is not as large
as that Of Pennsylvania or.New York, and but
third larger than that of Illinois or Ohio, each
Of which have only two Senatorial electors.
Again, there are fourteen States, whose aggre
gate enumeration falls short of that of New
York, and eleven which count in all but a few
thousand inhabitants more than Illinois alone
Thus New York sees a population less than her
own cast twenty-six more votes in the Electoral
college, and Illinois is twenty short OF the cleo
toral strength welded by an equal number of
people elsewhere Eut, on the other side, it Is
contended that the difficulty was foreseen by
the trainers Of the Constitution, who purposely
placed this check on the larger States. No mat
ter who has the best Of the argument the small
States are not likely to surrender the advantage
they thus hold; and as il cannot be taken from
them without their consent, there is obyi usly
net much to be gained by discussing the subject.

No HoME-No home, What a
misfortune How sad the thoughtl
There is thousands who know nothing
of the blessed influences of comforta-
bic home, merely because ofa want of
thrin, or from dissipated habits
Youth spent in frivolous amusements
and demoralizing associations, leaving
them at middle age, when the physi-
cal and intellectual man should be in
its greatest yigor, onervated and with
out one laudable ambition. Friends
long since lost, confidence gone, and
nothing to look to in old ago but
mere federation in the community
where they should be ornaments. No
home TO fly to when wearied with the
struggles incident TO life; no wife TO
cheer them in their dependency; no
children to amuse them, and no vir-
tuous household to give rest to the
ioys of life. All is blank, and there
is no hopo or succor except that
which is given out by the bands Of
private or public charities hen
the family of the industrious and so
bcr citizen gather around the cheerful
fire of wintry day, the homeless
man is seeking a shelter in tho cells
of a station house, or begging for q
nights rest in the out building Of one
who started in life at tho same time,
with no greater advantages but hon.
esty and industry built up that home,
while dissipation destroyed the other.

Lawyers.

His Honor, Judge Agnew, at Phila-
delphia, recently delivered the opinion
of the Court in a case arising on Ap-
peal and Ccrtiorari TO the Court Of
Common Pleas of Allegheny county,
and made the following very pcrti-
ncnt and sensible remarks:
lie says: "Tho Office ofan Attorney
at Law, is highly honorable one, as
well as one of great Importance to
society. The necessities of men in a
state Of high civilization, required the
profession of the law as a distinct call.
ing, one to be exercised by men trained
10 it by a long course of study, and
qualified by skill and learning to un.
derstand, protect and assert the rights
Of others, who by reason Of the state
of society, or their own inability, can
not act for themselves. As prosperity
increases and new forms of it are
developed, new institutions created
for its management, and as the
variety of business multiplies, inter
woavcs and expands, and wealth aud
luxury follow in the train of commerce
and the arts, the regulations of man
become moro and moro complicated,
and render the profession of the law
yer indispensable and important
Integrity, as well as skill and learning,
is essential TO the character Of the
profession, and it becomes the duty OF
the Bench, as well as of the bar itself,
TO preserve that character in its high
est state, as a means of usefulness and
of answering the true end of a profes
sion so honorable, and ut the same
time so needfll. Notwithstanding the
preiudices of some, the ignorance OF
others, and even the discredit occa'
sionally brought upon the Office by
unworthy members, we are glad to
know that the bar is filed with many
worthy men, and that trust and
confidence almost unlimited, is justly
reposed in it by the public"

of several of the intermediate des.
patches, or at least writing under
quite different inspirations. We can
not help seeing in this correspondence
the queer consequences arising from
the diverse yiews entertained and ex-
pressed by diverse writers in the
State Department. The final reply
to Mr.. Motlcy's complaint evidently
does not como from the samo source
as the long despatch which wo have
ascribed to Mr.. Gushing. Neither
does ii emanato from the same source
in the Department as that which con.
sentcd to Mr. Motley's appointment,
and was favorably disposed toward
his shortcomings afterward. 1t is
evidently the work Of some man who
was hostile to Mr.. Motley from the
beginning, and who is fully imbucd
with the idea Of his incapacity as a
diplomatist. This gentleman VIC as
sumo to be Mr. Hunter, one of the
Assistant Secretaries OF State, and the
same who had the credit of writing
Mr.. Websters famous reply 10 the
Austrian Minister Hulsemann. Mr..
Hunter is capable, truculent man,
naturally peremptory, and whose
long official career in an authorita-
tive position has given him a certain
insolcnce Of tone Mr.. Motley, who
had been encouraged to the exhibi-
ton Of his weakness by Mr. Cushing's s
elaborate manifesto, and who had
bad them from time to time condoned
by gentle criticisms from favorable
Lands, going to the very verge Of APP
proval, is at length brought up with
a round turn by being handed over TO
the tender mereies of Mr.. Hunter.
This theory affords the only consis-
tent explanation Of the steps by
which Mr. Motley finally received his
death.blowj and we give it as the
real clue by which he and his friends
may discover how it is that the al
ways serene and complacent head OF
the State Department can seemingly
blow such extraordinarily differing
currents from his mouth.
Mr.. Motley's sacrifice, We thus per
ceive, is one in which justice and in
justice are unequally blended. Where
the injustice appears we side with Mr.
Motley. Where justice prcdomnates
(Which VIC are constrained to say, is
where the substance of this case
dwells,) We have to consent even to
his fall. Mr.. Sumner should not have
urged his nomination. The President
should not have appointed him. Tho
Senate should not have confirmed
him lie was not fit man for tho
post. And however caustic Mr.. Hun
ter's final review, VIC must concur in
its justice N. y. Sun.

ENTIcINo AWAY HUsBANDs.-lt has
lust been decided by the Supreme
Court, in Cincinnati, that wife has
a right in her husbands society and
companionship, and can maintain an
action for damages for the loss there.
of It appears that the husband had
an adopted daughter who was mar
ried, and gradually he absented him
self from his own house until, at last,
he resided permanently with those
people. The wife brought suit against
her husband and the other two for
damages for the loss Of his company
and society. Upon the demurrer
the Court ruled that the action would
not lie as against her husband, but
her right of action against those who
drew away and harbored her hus-
band was indisputable. Persons will
therefore take notice that if they har.
Dor husbands they are liable TO the
wives for damages

Morning has, and ever shall, follow
the evenings and ihongh our whole

night, il shall be succeeded by the
brightness of eternal day.
In our customary method Of COM
putting time, we reckon that day
commences at twelve o'clock, and
thus we have both its extremes
shrouded in darkness. A similar idea

ful sunset scene, is really, but sin

the glorious resurrection morning.
We read of those in ancient time
who died being old and full Of days,
yet how many have died being old
and full of nights. Evil thoughts and
deeds, unthankfulness and complaint,
arc such as mako up our nights. Our
days are made ofpure thoughts, right
