T have a vivid recollection Of Mr..
Calhoun's last speech, the whole OF
which heard. He came into the SEN
ate Chamber supported by two friends.
Every one saw that his hours were
numbered. He feebly addressed the
presiding officer, and asked that Sena'
tor James M. Mason, Of Virginia, be
permitted to read his speech. He lin
gered through the whole reading,
although consuming quite two hours,
his eyes moving about his audience to
notice its effect Here is one of the
closing passages: eff you who repre-
sent the strongest portion cannot agree
to settle this question upon the broad
principle of Justice and duty, say 30,
and let the States we both represent
agree to separate and part in peace. If
YOU are willing we should part in peace
Just say so, and we shall know what to
do" If a man of Calhoun's position
and age, standing upon the brink OF
eternity, could thus speak, 1t is easy to
conjecture what would be the effect
upon the young members of the South.
Senator Mason read the speech in a
very naughty and defiant tone, well
calculated to eugender the bitterest
feelings. saw him afterwards. when
he was not 80 defiant. 1t was upon one
cold day in November when he with
job q Slidell was exercising himself in
the open air at Fort Warren, in Massa-
chusetts, reaping, at rs years of age,
the fruits of Mr.. Calhoun's doctrines.
tits believed by many that, had man
like James Buchanan been President
instead of Zachary Taylor, the South
would have tested its strength at this
time, hen the passions of the people
were 50 much excited respecting The
admission of California as free State.
heard this speech upon the 4th OF
March, 1850, and upon the I'd of April
thereafter | attended his funeral in the
same chamber. Clay, Webster and
others made the customary euloglstic
speeches. But Benton was as silent as
Mr.. Calhoun was when John Quincy
Adams died. The great Webster made
an appeal to his magnanimitv IN theI
hour of death, but Htuton re-
piled: "He is not dead, sr--he is not
dead. There may be 10 vitality i'll his
body, but there ls i'll his doctrines. The
last thing l did before leaving nome
was to denounce him and his treaso n
able sentiments, and | shall do the
same thing when l return home. My|
people cannot distinguish between al
man and his principles-between trai-
tor and treason. They cannot eulogize
the one and denounce the other. Cal.
houn died with treason in his heart and
on his lips, and they know it, While
am discharging my duty here his
disciples are disseminating his poison
all over my State" The foresight OF
Colonel Benton is made apparent by re-
m EN- beriug that at the next election at
ter he had been renominated by large
majority, the Calhoun men bolted the
Democratic Convention and secured
the election of the Whig candidate
But for these Calhoun men, all elected
as members of the same political or
as Colonel Benton, he wo uld
have had another term, and in all pro-
liability had the honor of dying at his
post.-John Wentworth

THE CABLE RAlLKOA Ds.

overcome in chicago.
From Lhe Philadelphia Record.
We have been shown letter from
Mr.. G. b. Holmes, President of thu
Chicago Street Railway Company, il
reply to an inquiry in regard to the
troubles in working the cable. MI
| Holmes says:
| We have encountered three difficulties
since the cable line was started:
First. Some of our men kept hold OF
the rope when they should have let 60
and broke it three times. We hayt
| no trouble of this kind lately.
Second. The spices were made in The
way the company who made and
| guaranteed the rope insisted they
should be made, and against our pro
| test. The result was that the end OF
the splices, being a bulge, cut, and
caused short pieces Of strands to catch
We had to put the splices III accord
ing to the plan we wanted to adopt in
the beginning. These are almost all
changed, and we do not expect to have
and trouble with them.
Third. The cable around the lOOL
had only half a wrap around the under
or siX-feet wheel, and when long
string of cars would collect on it it
would sometimes slip, and that injured
it. We placed six-teet pulley near to
the other, to act as tightener, and this
almost accomplished the desired result
but in couple Of instances shere vas
some slip, and we Immediately stopped
and put in a second wheel, took out the
iron dogs and put in wood, and secured
two nice wraps and now it works per-
fertly-no slip, and no grinding of the
cable. | could not ask anything to
work better.
Some of our pulleys on the street
were broken by the swelling of the
wood after hard and long rain and
we have put rubber washers under
the heads of the bolts, and this has
cured that trouble.
One night our rope.man was careless
and allowed his tension weight to get
clear down on the ground, and the
capie slipped off one ST the wheels up.
der the street, causing a delay of few
minutes. My impression is that that
man will not DO that tnln6 again.
The above is the full and exact state.
ment of all the troubles encountered
with the ropes, which do not amount
to one-half of what we expected to
have before we started.
/ have troubled you with this long
letter that you may know just exactly
how it has been with US. The cables
are wearing well-in this respect all
we could ask.
Since the cable started we have had
more accidents On the horsecars than on
the cable-carsj but these attract no at
tention.
The impression has gone abroad that
the sy stem has proved dangerous be-
cause an ordinance was introduced into
our City Council requiring US to have
tlagman at every street crossing.

Debauehiny Voters.

Nothing in politics is 80 degrading
and 80 much to be regretted as the de-
bauchery of voters by candidates. To-
days REPUBLICAN contains a letter
from much abused wife of q hard
working, industrious mechanic when
there is no political campaign going on
which sets forth the evil of debauching
voters in such vivid and revolving
light by one of our prominent candl-
dates for office that at any other time
than during the campaign the people
would place him at once in the category
of those devoid of moral principle. 1t
is for the people to judge whether Mrs.
Mellon tells the truth. If what she
says is true, are the people deceived in
one of the candidates before them for
their sutfrages for high and responsi-
BILE office? We were in hopes that the
system of debauching voters to get
their votes and influence had become
obsolete with the last Mayors election,
but in this expectation it looks as if we
have been mistaken. 1t is however to
the general principle of debauching
voters that We would more particularly
object than to the isolated case referred
to, of which we know nothing per-
sonally. By way of parenthesis we
would throw in the remark that the
habit is not confined to any particular
party, though some parties may be
more guilty of it than others. When
men become candidates for office it is
naturally expected that they will try
to elect themselves by all honorable
means in their power or in the power
of their friends, but no candidate is jus.
titled in resorting to the debauchery of
voters, which ends in beggaring wives
and children and dlsrupting family
ties before pleasant, for the sake of Sc
curing an election. 1t is true that there
are many men who never held an office
but who are fascinated by the glare and
glimmer of politics, that they are
always ready to enter into the excite
ment, especially if sufficient induce
ments are offered, but that is no good
reason why any high-minded and hon
orable candidate should take the ad-
vantage thus offered, and by liberal
take such persons in their
employ to make them votes, by fair
means if possible, but at any rate to
make them votes under all circum
stances. That this has been the habit
in the past does not make it right now,
and no condemnation is too severe for
those who would abuse the Sabbath
and prostitute the character of other
wise industrious and honest men by
taking them from their work and their
families and engaging them to descend
into the mire and slums of politics to
make votes for themselves.

STILL THE hegira from Europe to
this country continues, and the arrival
of immigrants for the month of May
promises to exceed those of any other
month in our history. April added
1O4, 200 of strange population to our
people, and March gave us $4,000. The
preceding eight months of the year
added Al, 900 a month. At the present
time they are pouring into New York
at the rate of 10000 week. Nearly
one half of them hail from the differ.
ent provinces of Germany, but Eng.
land, Ireland, Sweden, Italy and Can
ada contribute their thousands to swell
the rapidly increasing population of the
country The total arrivals during the
fiscal year ending June 80. will proba
bly, exceed 100000, which will excel
any other year in our history by about
100000.
