Ayoung man named Mullen, who lived
near Winameg. Ohio, had been in the
habit OF going to the store in the evening
for his mail, and had on more than one
occasion been annoyed by certain dog
bowling near his house On leaving the
house the other night he made the remark
in the presence of young man who was
living there, that he was gong to the
store and if that dog made that noise
again he was going to shoot him. Elem

A " REToRr COURTEOUS" EY THE
SPEAKER. Washington dispatches report
a very neat thing by Speaker Blaine last
Friday afternoon, which won him the APP
plause of the House. BY usage which
dates back farther than the present loca
ton Of the House there has been set apart
a front bench in the gallery for the use of
the Speaker, to be used in his discretion
for his family OF tor visiting strangers OF
distinction, to whom it is proper to ex-
tend the courtesies of the House. A West
em member named McNula, affiliated
with the Changers, some days since en-
deavored to force his family into the seat,
and was prevented by the usher The
member considered that the liberty of an
American Granger was lnfringed, and
consigned, in very coarse language, the
door-keeper to the Demnition Bow
Wave," ona made himself consnicl1on 81 y
dlsagreeable about it. The subject hay-
ing been called to the attention of the
House, the representatives., with one dis
scnting voice, that of this Granger, Nc
Nulta himself, declared it to re the sense
of the House that that bench should be
forever set apart for the purpose indicat-
ed, in accordance with the immemorial
usage. The Granger, who was very vehe-
ment npon the floor at what he called the
infringement of his liberty as Congress-
man. was overwhelmed with confusion
and the laughter of the House when, at
the end of his vulgar protest, Speaker
Blaine called him to the Chair to preside
over the House in Committee Of the Whole.

NEW YORK. April :. Governor Dix

purpose which has been indicated by Con-
gress to enlarge the volume Of both legal
tenders and National bank currency and to
repudiate all attempts to re-establish the
standard Of specie, 4 policy as sincerely

minent danger TO its credit, | invoke your
interpoSition to contribute all in your
power to prevent its adoption. The mil
lions of deprecated and irredeemable
paper, if issued as proposed by Congress,

ulate stock gambling, to glnt the channels
of industry, embarrass all honest transac-
TORS Of business, to cause reaction in
various departments of labor, by which
the working classes are thrown out of en-
poyment and to shake to its foundations
the fabric of public credit. Against the
introduction of such an instrument of dis
honor and calumny we should enter our
solemn protest, rs we would against any
