On Saturday last, was Witnessed il
the Nichols Legislature, upon the
enIyc of the Packard hunmcrs. a
scene of ">lo|hrr' that must have
been az heart touching as it was
"gu~hv."
The Poetic legislator Kidd Of Jack
son, presented to Rid~cIy, co|orrd Re-
publican of Concordia, a gold headed
cane as a slight reward to him for
abandoning his rights to a seat in the
legislature of the State in order to
allow some other fellow to warm it
NY for him and draw double pay. If
there is anything that 0i>yn>tS decent
people it is ali attempt to deceive by
an effort at "Slobhrr.' Seating the
"face of the rrtnrn' legislators who
were not elected is simply intended
to cover up a thin steal Of two mems
pay for the same service. Members
of the legislature arc no donht very
nice mcn-in their own estimation ::
they wonll hr in other peoples should
they quit this cane presentation slob-
herring and these futile efforts to cov-
err a dash at the treasury.

NorEs on THE PAST WEEK.-rhe
extra session Of Congress came to an
end last week and the regular session
opened on Monday, the Srd instant.
The defunct extra, after all its sputter-
ing, passed about two bills, more or less.
The noise made and the work done is
thus out Of all reasonable proportion.
Among other things it did not do. It did
not allow wilkins to take charge Of the
Baltimore Custom House by turning
down the appointment Of Thomas. and
we are glad Of II. The Turks still "hold
the fort" at Pevna and there has been
no material change in the Eastern situ-
alton since the posting up week ago.
McMahon is reported to have opened
up negotiations with the Opposition for
compromise, and. If this should turn
out true, there is reasonable ground for
supposing that the sober sentiment OF
France will procure its acceptance by the
reckless revolutionary element which
dominates the present Chamber q Dep
uties. England is more anxious than
ever about Turkey, the speedy collapse
OF which is now evident to the dullest
apprehension. The time for her TO act
or accept the situation has at last come.
The Pope still lives.

Now AND THEN.-Peoplc who are old
enough to know what the Senate of the
United States was thirty years ago and
who still ieel pride in our highest leg
i>lative assembly cannot but realize.
when reviewing the late struggle IN that
body, that il has fallen sadly from its
once high estate and that the good, great
and gifted men who led it in former
days have been supplemented. for the
most part, by mere politicians. sharp and
noisy, ithout dignity Of manner. weight
OF character or even cleanness OF pur-
pose. And the mental altitude of the
present body is about on par with its
moral standing. Decrepitude Of INTEL
lect is as marked as the blight which
has come over senatorial morals and
manners. Hoar now occupies the place
Of Webster and Patterson the seat Of
Calhoun. The soaring eagle and the
creeping snake are types which best
represent the Now and Then!
