Another Of these grand words is ' imbroglo.''
It is from the Italian, and means III intricate OF
complicated plot. Why, then, should q quarrel
in the Cabinet at Washington, or prospective
quarrel with France or England, be called *'an
imbroglio ?" Why, again, should "donate
te preferred to "give," balance" to "re-
1nainder," OF " elect to " Choose" when thereis
no election whatever7 Or why should one say
"rendtion " for performance, " enactment " for
acting, "decimate for thinned, or "nude " for
naked? More offensive than any Of these gran
dose words is " Intoxicated" " in place OF drunk,
toxicated only when he has lost his wits, not by
quantity, but by quality,-by drinking liquor
that has been drugged. "Into1icated," however,
has five syl1ables; drunk has but one; go the
former carries the day BY five to one. No
doubt, nine-tenths Of thosa who drink to excess
in this country are, in fact, intodcated STILL the
two words should not be confounded..

The abuse Of the Queens English to which We

cans. It began with our transatlantic couains,
who employed " "ink-horn' terms and outlaudish
phrases at very early period. In
Ra,7ison's Chronicle ne are told that af-

Business Of conRrass.

SO much time has been taken up bv Congrese
since its meeting in December ia examinations of
frauds and by Invest eating Committees required
BY the rascAities Of the Radical members that there
u not time remaining to discuss and pass upon the
important bills which have been introduced in
either House. Consequently the ruling party held
caucus on Friday, and resolved to confne the re-
mainder of the session till the 4th of March. to
the appropriation bills and one or two other mea-
anres.
This Credit Mohiiier business, 1t will be seen is
Piling up pretty round sum against the people
The loss of time Of each member must be counted
at IS 900 yeai;or at the short session about $40
day. But the loss does not stop here. The ex-
PsasS Of of sending for witnesses; their board ana
mileage; Ie:inue Of clerks, and an immense
printing bill, ali add TO the expense and all have
to be paid out OF the public treasury. The cost
Of the business is immense hundreds of Thousands
OF dollars and all perhaps to toiitelrash pack
OF raseals, which we fear will b. set loose
uPon the country TO practice their tricks in some
otho shape somewhere else.
But the worst of this tier remains; these men
have stood in the front Of the Republican palty.
and II they are allowed TO get of in this way
doubtless the example will bo very likely to lead.
Others to coramt ike frauds. This must be
added to the ioas of reputation which the whole
e'untry sustains IN the exposure of the want of
honor IN the men who were elevated to the posi-.
ton OF rulers; whose duty it was to exhibit
standard OF truth and honor before tae youth OF
the cOuHtry'that could be pointed to with pleasure
Instead, their pretentiOns will be regarded with
