Q man deeply read in the Apocalyps,
the Apocryphs and other writings Of 9
neurological character. for the Presi-
dents and emperors to signalize their
entry into power BY some act Of official
clemency. In accordance with this
precedent design, at no distant day, to
pardon certain strocious criminals now
| i'm prisoned at Albany. 1t has been
urged in their favor that they were not
guilty; but ir 10 obvious, even il this
were the csse, that . hasty pardon
would have been advisable; at least it
could not have been afforded At any time
before the second Tuesday in last No
vember.
SUBSTANTIAL MARKS OF AFFECTION.
1t is an agreeable task to . man OF
my feelings to acknowledge the receipt
OF articles Of use or ornament presented
to him as memorials OF past and espe-
cially OF future good Offices In this
department Of public duty the demands
tupon nv attention have been numerous,
not 80 numerous. however, a. to beset
any dislike TO their repetition, and It is
but isir Tor me to suggest that my hopes
for the future are in every respect Is
lively as my gratitude for the past 1t
| have anything to regret ii lis that
things have now and then come TO
hand, doubtless through the ipsdvert-
ency incident to the emotions OF thank
fulness, marked with the chsrscters c.
o. D., which l am given to understand
means either Call On Dent or Collect
On Delivery. In either sense these
letters are unwelcome, and. in justice 70
myself, | am constrained to express the
hope that no occasion will hereafter be
afforded for their repetition.
COLLEGIATE HoNoRs.

college with great profit and satisisc-
tion), means Doctor Of Laws, though

Boston, where they can make them
very easily and at q small expense, the
principal cost being in Latin and sheep
skin, the first OF which is manufactur-
ed on the spot and the last tanned by q
new process in the vicinity. Since |

gone into practice pretty extensively.
AFFLICTED LOUISIANA.
Ny last patient was Louisiana, which
has suffered . good deal with intestinal
difficulties of fundamental character
Dr.. Morton, whom | called iu cousul-
tation, says that her constitution has
broken up entirely, and that nothing
but csustic applications to the spine
in which he has had great experience
will work her restoration. | am com
PEELED TO admit that my prescriptions

pected, and il things do not work better
in the future shall feel compelled the
next time l 60 10 Boston TO apply for
the well known degree which in order

Courtesy to q coordinate branch OF
the law making powers requires /
should not close without saying some
thing about Congress. Bat 1t has been
suggested to me BY the lxundress OF the
House-the experienced-tnat the best
thing TO say will be TO say nothing
Senator Pomeroy informs me that the
time has not come for justice To pro-
uounce her finsl verdict upon himself
and co-Seuators, aud that they are ell
perfectly willing TO wait until she has
disposed OF the other business on her
docket even il it should require two
thirds OF . century. This spirit OF sell
denial on the part Of our public men
cannot be too much commended. The
duties OF the last session have been ar
duous and to many Of the leading men
Of both branches extremely embsrrsss-
ing.
