The Morton-Chrisianc resolution, TO send
a committee of five Senators down to Misss-
sipoi 10 collect scandal and stir up strife,
passed the Senate on Friday AS mo money
can be drawn from the Treasury but in con-
sequence of appropriations made by the law,
aud as the majority of The House Of Represen-
tatives will hardly he inclined to look with
indulgence upon this entcrprise--in respect to
which it was not consulled--the question
where the cash is to come from to pay the lit
tie expenses of the erusading statesmen and
compensate them for their sacrifices, becomes
interesting. Unlike the ingenious Whitley,

Mr.. Lord, of the Committee on the Judicia.
ry Of the House, has presented report and
resolution in respect TO The letter sent by the
Attorney General TO the United States attor-
neys at st. Louis, Milwaukee and Chicago
The pnrport OF that letter, it will be remem-
bered, was that all persons engaged in any
way in the frauds against the Government,
aud who should testify against the leaders in
these base transactions should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. The object evil
denily WAS TO frighien all witnesses out o: the
country and thus prevent the prosecution and
conviction of the pets of Grant & Co. The
report sets forth that the act was one for which
the Attorney General had no legal authority,
The resolution states that the rule laid down
in the letter is in contravention Of long-estab-
lished practices, and recommends that the
Attorney General Immediately revoke his in
srucliens.

The Canadian FaTMar tells nice story OF q
man named Langley, who went to St, Marxs
bay geese hunting. Seeing a moose on the
opposite shore, he fired, and at the same mo-
ment, porpoise leaped from the water, and
the bullet killed both it and the moose. The
porpoise floated TO The shore, and the hunter
used it as raft to paddle across to the moose
There he found that the bullet after killing
the moose, had gone into n hollow tree in
which was a store of wild honey, which was
flowing through the hole made by the bullet
Reaching for what he thought was stick, 10
plug up the hole, he caught rabbit by the
leg Rather startled, he threw it violently
from him, and struck covey of eighteen
partridges, killing them all.
