OWNING HoME.-The strength of
the American Republic, is the desire to
own house. It is moulding all the
people, native and foreign born, into
one homogeneous mass. The owner-
ship of home is something of which
neither the Irish peasant nor the Ger
man laborer has, in his own country,
any conception; but it is here the goal
of his desires. Education comes next;
it is something the need of which is not
felt until the adornment of home is
thought of. The desire to own the roof
under which one sleeps is distinctively
an American characteristic, and seems
by nature to be adapted to the growth
which is raising us in Importance in the
scale of nations. 1t is the link which
connects the man with the Government;
it adds to his interest in the making and
execution of the laws, and identifies
him with the usages and customs Of the
people. 1t is this element which gives
the people of Switzerland their unity
and power, the lack of it causes nine
tenths of the unrest in Ireland. No
feeling is stronger than the attachments
of home, and 60 nation whose people
possess this as common sentiment, can
lose their liberty. 900

- The Alabama State journal says:
AS a FREIGHT train on the South &
North Railroad was going through cut
thirty feet deep and twenty-five wide,
yesterday, up near Sand Mountain, a
hunter, with pack of dogs, was run
ming five deer toward the cut; four of
the deer cleared the cut with bound,
but the fifth one landed on top of a
freight car, and one Of his feet caught
on the gang plank on top of the car. A
brakeman seeing it, ran from another
car, caught the deer by the horns, and
cut his throat with his pocket knife
This beats all the deer stories we ever
did hear, but is vouched for by Captain
Whitfield. Next!"

NEsMITH's S AsToNIsHMENT.- fun
ny man of the House this winter is said
to be Mr.. Nesmith, Of Oregon, who tells
on himself some very amusing stories.
He served one term in the Senate sever
al years ago, and few days after he was
sworn in he was passing one of the
cloak rooms, and inside were Fessenden,
Morril and several others, whose names
we can't recall. They hailed him, in
vited him in, and after conversing for a
few moments they asked him very alb
ruptly:
Mr.. Nesmith, you have come from
very wild country. where you say the
greater portion of your life has been
passed. Will you tell US what first
struck you on coming to the Senator"
"Wall, gentlemen, when I took my
scat in this augrst body, said to be COM
posed of the brains of our great coun-
try, was overwhelmed with the strange
ness of the one idea, how I came to be
here"
Oh! All! Ugh! So! And then Mr..
Nesrith, when then--what your next
cause for wonder?"
1.-THE next thing, gentlemen" an
swered Nesmith, "that came to me ard
puzzled me more than the first thought,
was how in the deuce all you other fel-
lows got here.

The TRIALS OF HONEST JoUNAL1sM.-
Mr. Haskell, of the Boston Herald, at
the dinner table of the Ancient and
Honorable artillery festival on Monday
evening was set to speak on the press,
and said among other other just and pat
things:
Independent journalism is not so
much of an acrobatic performance. Its
motto is to tell the truth and shame the
devil. Ah!it is blessed occupation.
1t has to correct so many lies told by
other people especially party organs
and politicians-that it scarcely has time
to tell any itself-even for fun. We
might have an excuse, if we did lie
little. Congress teaches us to lie by ly
ing promises to pay money. which it
does not try to keep. Parties lie to US
in platforms as false as dicers' oaths.
Interested persons lie to us to obtain
credit not due then or evade deserved
blame. We are expected to sift all these
lies and give the public nothing but
truth. You see what task is put upon
us. But We can stand it. We do not
complain. Welcome any sacrifice if we
can make the world wiser or better.
Anything, anything to lift up poor strug-
Cling humanity. I rejoice that all news.
papers are becoming independent. Only
few years ago the great newspapers
were all party organs. Now the great
newspapers, the far-reaching newspa-
pers--the successful newspapers-are
independent. The people like them,
though the politicians do rot, and pat
ronize them. So may it be more and
more so until Independent journalism is
also both ancient and honorable.

USEFUL HINTS. A lady, writing to the
Country Gentleman, thus recapitulates
she had the good sense to learn from her
servant girls.s Sae says: u
The other day Mary was ironing and
asked for piece of sandpaper to rub
her irons on. I was astonished that I
had never thought of it before; it is so
nice, removes every bit of starch or any
thing else and makes them SO smooth.
One girl fought me that old corsets
make the best stove cloths. Just one
half at time is convenient size. They
are ready made and much better, when
unfolded, to take hold of anything with,
than made holder, and much easier to
wash. Just throw them in with the
brown towels, as many as you happen to
get during the week, and they come out
clean and ready to use again.
Another girl pours hot water on the
blades only of steel knives and they
wipe easily and do not need drying.
Another one told me the best way to
keep hams and dried beef was to pack
it in dry salt. We have tried it several
years, with perfect success. Set it in
some cool, dry place; put quite a thick
layer of salt in the bottom, then pack
in the hams, using the pieces OF dried
beef, if you have any, for chinking;
cover with salt, then hams and salt
again, till the barrel is full. There IS
not the least danger from insects, if the
hams are smoked and the beef dried and
put away, before the flies come around;
and they are much nicer to handle thau
when put in ashes or oats, or anything
of that kind.

TIE TRTUNPH or INITIATION.

The opening battle is over, and the infll-
tionists have won it clearly. that VIC can no
longer offer the shred OF hope to those who
have still trusted in the Senate. The imitation
of fOrty-four millions is substantially settled,
and, to all appearance, worse remains behind.
Mr.. Schun's amendment to Mr.. Sherman's
bill to make $685. 900 900 the maximum limit OF
legal-tender notes, instead of S3S2,0O0000, was
Yesterday voted down IN the Senate by 10 to 40.
Mr. Wright then moved to strike out the whole
of the first section of the bill after the enact
ing clause, and insert a provision fixing the
amount of legal-tender notes at S4OO,0oOOOO.
This was carried by vote of 81 to 20.
Twelve Senators were paired, making the
relative strength of the inhationists and anti
inflationists 81 and 81. There are two vacan-
cies Massachusetts and Louisiana), and Messrs
Alcorn of Mississippi, Gilbert of Florida, and
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, did not vote. 1t
must therefore be conceded that there is a
majority In the Senate in favor of circula-
ton of at least four hundred millions
of legal-tender notes. Both the Sena-
tors from California, Connecticut, Del
aware, Maine, Nevada, New-Hampshire,
New-Jersey, NewYork, Ohio, Texas and
VermOnt-eleven States-are in favor Of per-
hitting our currency to work up slowly to the
specie standard. Both the Senators from
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota. Nebraska. North
Carolina South Carolina and Virginia-twelve
States-are in favor of indefinite postponement
of the time when our paper shall be worth
par. Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin-ten
States-are divided.
In the ability and character of their repre-
sentatives the opponents of the contemplated
further debasement of the paper money have
predominance, but in numbers, unfortunately,
they have not. Now let us have the ration
of paper-both legal-tender and bank
notes-ixed for the current year as soon
as possible. We are already launched once
more upon sea of speculation, that may
prove as wild. if not as disastrous, as that
through which we have lately passed. Balloon
prices. and after some time, the inevitable
collapse are the order of the day.

THE MERCHANTS MEETING.

Two characteristics of the meeting of mer-
chants at Steinway Hall have attracted uni
versal attention, and given to their proceed
ings widespread influence. The first is the
moderation and practical good sense of all the
speakers. Deeply as they must feel the
wrongs which have been put upon them, the
merchants protest without passion, aud allow
no personal injuries to inhlme their honest
Indignation. They are sparing of denuncia-
ton. They have no reproach for the reputa-
bic officers of bad law. They merely state
their grievance calmly and convincingly, aud
leave it to make its fitting impression without
the aid Of rhetoric. The second characteristic
is the earnestness of the demonstration. The
whole community Of importing merchants is
represented in it. We hear no dissenting
voices. The demand for reform is clear and
emphatic, and the merchants know exactly
what they want,-whch is not always the case
with public clamoring for the destruction of
abuses.
Mr.. j. C. Marsh, who spoke at the meeting
too late in the evening to be reported, said in
the course of his remarks: 81 contend it
would be impossible for an importer to I'M
"dervalue his goods if thorough system was
established for examining invoices under
"the supervision of practical men acquainted
with the different manufactures of Europe
"and experienced in the values of European
goods in general" This touches at the root
of the whole difficulty. Our Custom-house
system is not organized with reference to the
faithful collection of the duties, and is not
administered in the interests either of COM
merce or the revenue. The Custom-house
is the party machine. Its officers are
appointed as reward for partisan
service, without any regard to their quaiica-
tions and their chief duty is to look after the
political interests of the Administration. They
are not capable of appraisng goods; they are
not Gas a class to be trusted for the honest
collection of the duties nobody expects them
to be. But the Government must have money,
and it therefore compels the merchants to
make good the deficiencies of the officers, and
instead of enforcing just tax laws in decent
and impartial manner it EFFORTS what it re-
quires by means of the rack and thumb screw.
Thus the general system of assessing the
duties has been devised to cover up the def
ciencies and check the Acknowledgment 80
much Of the merchants as of the officers or
the Government; while the seizure laws, as
we showed the other day, were framed solely
for the benefit of mercenary infOrmers.
1t is useless to attempt to "amend" sys-
TEN like this, and the merchants do well to
insist upon an unconditional repeal of the
two Infamous statutes by which it is bolstered
up. 1t may be that further reform of which
they do not yet dream will follow from the
agitation tor the abolition Of m0ieties and tho

In THE TRBUNE's elaborate report Of the mer-
chants meeting at Steinway Hall to denounce the
mOety hunters and their paid allies in Congress,
courts. and custom-houses. two speeches were
omitted from lack of space These were of Mr.. Dins-
more and Mr.. Wetherell, both strangers, who ought
to have had better welcome. not merely strangers
but for the sentiments they advanced. Both orators
in impassioned language urged upon the merchants
to fight the Custom-house harpies, and one of them
suggested q grand combination of Boston, Phila-
dephia. and New-York forces, and q determined
advance upon the enemy at Washington. This is
the true principle. and should DO the immediate aim.
1t is not only imperative that the present conflicting
aud confusing moiety laws be repealed but that clear
aud equitable enactents w provided in their stead.
