Boston. Jan. 81 1875

BosToN, Jan. 81, 1872.
Once again the house has given all its time 10
the consideration of the bill 10 provide general
law for the formation of railroad com
panies. The debate was not so sharp as that of
yesterday between Mr.. Towne and Mr.. Thomp.
son, but it was, on the whole as interesting. and
told quite as much in favor of the bill The
first speaker to-day was Mr.. Fairbanks. of Fall
River, who got back on Mr.. Towne very neatly
by saying that the bill only proposed TO allow
everybody TO do what a chair companv in which
that gentleman was very largely interested did

An hour of time was then wasted with long
and indefinite speeches from Shaw, of ward five.

The late General Ewell, it appears, died of an
old pair of pantaloons. Some time since the
war he had bought pair of blue infantry pam
falcons, which by long service lost much of
their original substance. He put them on this
winter after wearing much thicker ones, and, in
consequence, took cold, which was the immedi
ate cause of his last Illness A short time before
his death be is reported to have said: CATER all
my lighting against the United States so long.
it is strange that an old pair of infantry panta-
looms should kill me at last" The lesson which
his death teaches cannot escape any rejecting
mind. Avoid blue infantry pantaloons, or if
you viii wear them be sure TO give them to the
poor when they become thin

NEW ANECDOTES OF SCoTT.-No pleaSanter
anecdotes have been told of any man. These are
generally well known, but | will trust that the
following may be new to my readers Mrs. John
BGllantyne WAS just married. She was young,
the beauty of Edinburg, and half spoiled by
tiattery. She was to meet Sir Walter at dinner,
and resolved 10 put on airs, and show the great
lion of the time that she was not TO be brought
TO iawu even at his feet. He asked her to takea
glass OF wine, and she affected NOT TO hear him:
but the great man, instead of noticing this girl
ISL folly, proceeded TO talk to her with such po-
likeness that she speedily felt ashamed of her
self. This lady related that once, at her own
table, on the occasion Of large and ceremonious
dinner-party, there was a scarcity of spoons, and
what added to the awkwardness, at the precise
moment when the servant was washing the
spoons for further use most determined pause
IN conversation occurred. The silence was so
profound that no sound was to be heard save the
Whispers OF the servants just without, and the
washing of the spoons. AT last the blushing
lady'S husband drank, "Reliefto all in distress
which broke the SPELL and set all laughing,
while Mr.. James Ballantyne called out, with
line oil Shakspeare's:
Ny lord. my lord methinks you'd spare your
spoonsw
''Not |, indeed, my lord" responded Mrs B.,
for have none TO spare" Not amiss," said
Sir Walter, in genial recognition of the lady's
hit. Next day a parcel came to her, directed in
an unmistakabe handwriting, containing doz-
en- of the handsomest spoons that could be OBJ
tanned in Edinbnrg. This same old lady re-
lateS 4 story which deserves 10 be told as one of
the most singular among the curiosites of liter
ature She relates that once when her brother
in-law, James, was reading to her, Scott en-
tered, and told him to 90 on reading. As the
reader proceeded, Scott at first nodded appro-
baton, then said, "Goodl' next, every rood!"

The so-called liberal republican" convention
in Missouri last week seems, on later informal
ton, to have been neither so liberal nor so re-
publican as its name and the first reports would
| indicate. The associated press maintains no le-
| porter at Jefferson City, where the convention
was held, and the report telegraphed all over the
| country was volunteered by an editor of the St..
Louis Republican, passive policy democrat,
who was a member of the convention. Some of
his statements are denied by the Missouri pc
pers which had representatives there. They say
that the convention, instead of being one of the
| largest ever held in Missouri, was composed of
| about one hundred and thirty persons, repre-
senting about halfthe counties in the state, while
the regular state conventions are usually attend
ed by nearly nine hundred delegates. The fist
report said also that this gathering was attended
by substantially the same persons as composed
the boiling republican convention of last year
but The later statements assert that not more
than five or six men, who were at all prominent
in that convention, figured in this, and many of
the most earnest actors in that bolt refused TO
have anything to do with this convention.
Among those who did act in il was Patrick
DOMAIN, the editor of the Lexington Caucasian,
the most outrageousy and indecently malignant
copperhead journal in the country. This is the
man with whom Horace Greeley has lately been
consulting as to the best means of defeating
General Grants reelection. A convention made
up of such elements may, to Mr.. Greeley, seem
a portentous event; but it will not give much
alarm to republicans in general.

The apportionment bill has passed both houses
of congress- and there is now nothing in the way
of its becoming a law, except that a verbal error
in the engrossmeut has been discovered, which,
if it can be correlted without separate bill,
which is perhaps doubtful, viii require it TO 90
through the forms of legislation again. The bill
fixes the number of representatives at two hun
bred and eighty-three, an increase of forty over
the present number. By it, Massachusetts viii
gain one representative, Vermont and new Ham
shire will each lose one; and the representation
of the other New England states will remain
unchanged. The gain will be chiefly in the
western and southern states, the latter having
more representatives, not because of increased
population, but on account of the admission of
the freedmen to full representation, which
was not The case under the previous APP
portionment. The only change in the bill since
it first passed the house, was an amendment pro-
viding that a state denying the suffrage to any
male citizen, except for participation in the re-
belon or for crime, shall lose proportionately
in representation. In many, perhaps most of
the states, citizens are now excluded from the
| suffrage under state laws, as in MasSachu-
sets for not having paid taxes within two years
but, according to the census returns, the num-
Der of persons so excluded is not enough in any
state to reduce the number of representatives to
introduce supplemental bill, still further in
ereasing the number of representatives, so that
no state will have fewer than at present.
