Hon. y. II. KNOTS Amusing
Speech ON the Sd. CrOix and
RayfielN RailrOad--Fun AT
t.rc.FrOnf.

thcs FOhu'
Mr.. SPEAKER If could be act
uated by any conceivable induce
ment to betfhy the sacred trust re-
posed in me by those to whose gen
crous confidence am indebted for
the honor Of seat on this floor; il
/ could be influenced by any posi-
bic consideration to become instru-
mental in giving away, in violation
of their known wishes, any PORTION
of their interests in the public do
main for the mere promotion of
any railroad enterprise whatever, |
should certainly feel II strong incli-
nation to give this measure my most
earnest and hearty support; for l
am assured that its success would
materially enhance the pecuniary
prosperity OF some of the most val
ucd friends l have on earth; friends
for whose accommodation | would
be willing to make almost any sac
rifice not involving personal honor
or my fidelity as the trustee OF an
express trust. And that fact of it,
Self would be sufficient to counter
vail almost any objection | might
entertain to the passage of this bill,
not inspired by an Imperative and
inexorable sense of public duty.
But, independent ofthc seductive
influences of private friendship, to
which | admit am, perhaps, as
susceptible as any ofthe gentlemen,
l see aronnd me, the intrinsic mer'
its of the measure itself are of such
an extraordinary character as TO
commend it most strongly TO the
favorable consideration of every
member of this House, myself not
excepted, notwithstanding my con-
stituents. in whose behalf alone
am acting here, would not be bene-
sfed by it's passage one particle
more than they would be by pro-
iect 10 cultivate an ORANGE grove on
the bIeakest summit of Greenland s
icy mountains. Laughter
Now. sir, as to those great trunk
lines of railway, spanning the con-
tiuent from ocean to ocean, con-
fess my mind has never been fully
made up. 1t is true they may af-
ford some trifing advantages TO TO-
cal traffic, and they may even in
time become the channels Of a more
extended commerce. Yet ] have

A good story is told Of Anna Dickinson,
which illustrates that a woman, however
eminent, is q woman, still. When she
opened the Boston Lyceum," sho came
promp tly to the front Of the platform at
half-past seven o'clock, and quietly sur
veyed the audience without opening her
mouth for several minutes. She did not
sit down, although chair had been pro-
vided for her. "wby did'ntyou sit down z
asked one Of the managers. What answer

rpr. EenDen Porter.

The advertisement of this gentle
man is sufficiently attractive to de-
mand attention. DIR. Porter's great
forte is the treatment Of chronic
diseases, and in said practice, udg-
ing from numerous certificates, he
has been cminently successful. But
by many, we are aware, he will be
pronounced y humbug: in this we
think they are mistaken, for he has
repeatedly visited the principal ci-
ties of tile South, and we have yet
to see IN one Of our exchanges II
word derogatory to his character
as u gentleman or his standing as u
physician. If he was hutibtg-
did not do his patients any good
certainly some one of the thousands
whom he has treated, and for which
they paid their money. would speak
in words of warning to the public
through the press. This has not
been done; and we must therefore
infer that he is scientific and sue
cessful observation-disclosures Ban.

dis MY own TINE" is phrase often in
tile mouth Of the working man. With him
the words have n special and important

been by wise use of their own time that
the many working men who have risen
hare laid the foundation; Or their rise It
has Been by frittering it away that other
working men, who might have risen to

it has been by misuse of it that some

End Of the Intuuctisn.

The failure of the Tyson Injunc-
tion is decisive of the destiny
Of consolidation. The decision Of
tho court was prompt and ex-
haustive. Elsewhere we lay be-
fore our readers the best synop-
ale of it we have seen. It would
be difficult to conceive Of anything
more annihilating to the enemies Of
consolidation. Really there was
less in the case than we would have
been willing to concede. Not the
slightest encouragement ID given by
Judge Bond or Judge Rives that
any future effort, however else d.
rected, will be attended with any
result at all different from this.
Nothing but the stupidity and folly
of Tyson himself could have equal
led the intrinsic weakness of the
plea. The language Of the court
cuts decisively away the drapery
with which inliscriminate discussion
had nystified the question. So ut
ter and complete is the overthrow
of this paid incendiary of
the structure of our public poll
cy that even the Lynchburg NEWS,
the most obdurate of all the NAL
contents, yields and calls off its
hounds from the futile pursuit.
We nre told that in March next,
at the next session of the court, the
question will come up for its final
determination, but the language OF
the court is such As 10 afford every
possible Encouragement to Tyson,
and in the mean time there is no
restraint ION Gen. Malone. The
