Urant Government before the Geneva
Commission for incidental damages on ac-
count of the Alabama, have doubtless been
preferred in order to get up some excite

people countenauce such doings? We are
in no condition to enter into II war with
England, Our debt is already too large
and the taxes too heavy for the industry of
the country.

A 1kwYERs oFFroE not SWEPT FoR Is YEARa.
The office Of one of the Dover members of
the bar, is worth passing notice. The Legal
Advocate himself has attained good old age,
without forming matrimonial alliance, though
fond of the society Of ladies.
Though somewhat prominent in his day and
generation, both as politician, aud lawyer,
he is now in a great measure clientlese, and
takes pleasure in talking of olden times, when
he was compeer with John Nj. Clayton. Dis
cArding all political alliances of the present day,
he confines himself to the single subject of re-
modelling the Judiciary, and the abolition of
life tenures in Office, and regularly as each egis-
lation ooDvenes, he presents bill with that
object in view.
His office is located on the south side OF Do
yer Green, the interior of which rivals the IA
nous Curiosity Shop which gave rise to one
OF Dickens most popular novels. The Office il
built Of brick, one story in height, and contains
| but one room, in which our Lawgiver sits
surrounded with the accumulated literature of a
/ life time.
Book cases are tabooed and the books are
| piled up in corners covered with the dust and
| cobwebs OF gathering years. We were informed
/ that broom has not been used In the room
/ for fifteen years. aud judging from the musty
Odor and oyerhanging cobwebs the report was
not exaggerated The fret impression on enter
| ing is that il il a place for slowing away old
L
resembed a junk shop.
There is no place like home, be it ever 30
homely," is motto that has lively applica-
cation to the occupant Of this antiquarian abode
as he is generally found reclining IN an old arm
chair, covered with old newspapers, and his feet
elevated at an angle Of 80 degrees upon an old
| stove that has withstoOd the furious onslaught
| OF many a well armed broad7de of tobacco Juice
which glancing of like round shot from an iron
clad, left its indelible marks upon the walls adj
joining.
Twelve years ago he said he took all the news
papers in the State now he does not take any
and nothing he says could induce him to agar
take one. The New York World is his politca
bible and from it he learns of what is going oil
in Christendom, and shapes his political action.
Having i'll the flush of life accumulated
suficiency Of this worlds goods, to ly,
upon when old, he takes life easy, an,
cares not for its tumut and its strife.
few years ago the large hotel adjoining his oi1ic
took fire, and was totally consumed. The franz
building adjoining on the eastern side was ais
consumed, but amidst the fire and smoke of tn
conflagration the Office stood unscathed. Wit
