Jchn. 4mincy Adams left some $780,

and Inheritance. He was a man of me-

Martin Van Buren, died very rich.
Throughout his political life, he looked
out for his interest. It is not believed
that he ever spent thirty shillings in
politics. His party shook the bush, and
he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered million

fessional and political speculations. He
died leaving property to bis children,
and his debts to his friends. The fOrmt r

The decree is not calculated to strike
terror and CONSERVATION. There is no
positive public command to this minion
or that satrap of the royal purple to
exile, incarcerate and slay. The form is
more simple, less alarming, but none the
less effective in practice. The edict only

who is the Marshal of the Uuited States?
a creature whose mission is to execute
the will of him who invests him with
power. A thousand bayonets attend to
execute the mandates. This is all that
appears. This is despotism, wearing the
garb of republicanism; it is the despo.
tism of martial law declared in the name
OF republication, and ostensibly to make
Republicans loyal to republic. But is
despotism, nevertheless, despotism as
effective as Cesar,s. It does not wear
the official form of royalty, but in an
official execution, artfully controlled. It

AN EXPERT AT CARDS There is n
gambler ON the Western waters 80 expert
at card playing that it is immaterial to
him whether he plays with his eyes open
or has them blind-folded. Itmay sound
as nonsensical to say that this genius, by
constantly sand. papering the I'll pa of the
fingers OF his left hand, has acquired a
sense OF touch so delicate that he can
actually feel the spots and trace the out
lines OF the figures on the cards. This
has been demonstrated on several oc.
casions by the player naming the face of
every card in pack. after he had not
only been blind-folded, but the cards
placed behind his back. The name OF
this genius is Colonel G. Starbuck, and
he halls from New Orleans.

TIE .SITUA1IoN.-Tol one whose sta.
tion is withputithe arena OF politics, who
sees, ab . stranger the various thrninRs
and twfstings Of political tficksters in
the State OF South Carolina; it mnst ap.
pear as o striking oontnentary upon the
times and q curious i1stance.of the utter
perversiono OF nthe Constitution, that
once great .bnlwark yof Cliberty, to the
bassst and ;vilaaA naes. ,i,a4o aynr.y
But to the native South Caroliniau,
whose love'for his State is equaled only
by that for his mother, tba spectacle is
appalling p NOT that the mere faot OF a
portion OF aher soil being under martial
law terrifissapd afftighta her 'sons, for
even to that are they accustomed; not
that ,6nfo liberties ara. taken away, and
the e.sfn grasp of military, shrottles the
last faiht' t'protest against this invasion of
our Liberty Of person, for to that too. we
are accustomed: not that the dense
clouds which obscure our political hori-
zon.only grow thicker ns the years roll
on. and the'dhy of our deliverance seems
quite buried in the deep, dark and mys-
terious bosom of the,fnture, for to that
we arc also accustomed; not that injus-
tioe. fraud and incompetency have ousted
even handed justice, spotless virtue and
bright capacity, for to this. too, we have
grown used; but because, beyond all
these other crnelties, and as their conse-
quence we see going on an exodus Of
many OF our best citizens, who are afraid
lest they be: dragged before an emissary
OF the Government and consigned to
prison, without bail, thence to be
dragged before che tribunal where, from
what is known OF it, they would most
probably be sentenced to the peniten-
tiary--not because they are guilty, but
because there may be no way of proving
their Innocence, they not being allowed
to give evidence. Asis generally known,
these arrests are indiscrimiuate, no check
being placed upon the officers, and
rather than be subjected to the great
trouble and expense of endeavoring to
free themselves from the charge, they
avoid ut by fleeing without the State.
The very life blood, the bone, ainew nnd
muscle OF the commonwealth is thus
ebbing and falling away, and the distress
and want .of the families Of those who
are compelled to leave them, bids fair to
become very serious, iequaling, if not
surpassing. that felt during the late war.
1t almost seems that the hand of God is
laid heavily upon our State, and that we
are suffering the penalties Of an accursed
people. ' "a - 49,.
Our true policy is to wait until the
storm Of hatred and persecution has
passed over, and it may be that from the
ashes Ct that very hatred and person
tlon.a and the natural reaction. which
must'fake place. there will arise some
beacon star OF hope, and rising purified
and tried as by fire, we will set out upon
course OF prosperity greater and more
substantial than before.

MINORITY REPRESEN rATIoN.- peo-
pie OF Pennsylvania decided at the re-
cent election to call q convention for re-
vising the State Constitution, which,
with an amendment or two-such as
that which provides for the election of
judges by the people-adopted without
the aid of n convention, has stood the
test OF a whole generation. The journals
OF the State are already suggesting work
for the convention in advance of the
election Of delegates; and in particular
are urging attention to the question OF
minority representation, which is proba-
bly, as important subject as is likely to
engage the deliberations of the body.
This is fortunately question which can
be considered upon its intrinsic merits.
lnasmuch as it can have no exclusive
party bearing. While no one party can
be benefited ;y IL more than another,
all parties may we'll unite in the material
reform which it contemplates of render
ing representation more just and equal
than is possible under the existing sys-
tenn. Pennsylvania is entitled to the
credit OF having introduced, and to q
limited extent given practical effect to
this reform. It was through the perse-
vering and truly patriotic efforts of ex-
Senator Buckalew that the experiment.
was made in the local elections, at the
place of his residence, and which has
been repeated with So muo!i satisfaction
to the people. With such aid as Mr..
Buckalew's sound judgment and expert
ence will afford, 1t is hoped that some
plan will be devised by the Pennsylvania
convention for a successful int ,duction
OF the system which will com mend it to
general adoption. Charleston Neus.
