CHETLAIN, U.S. Consul. [We thank Mr.Chetlain for his correction, but the error was an unaccoun able misprint.—ED. A.A. 7'.]  The New York World says that an ingenious New York Congressional " dodge" consists in sailing cadet appointments only to incompetent purchasers who are sure to be rejected on nomination, so that the cadetship can be sold two or three times over. The Brooklyn Daily Times,- in concluding a long article on the Public Ledger, says :—" Among all the papers of the world the non-partisan and hightoned Philadelphia Public Ledger stands pre-eminent; ranking first in almost every important sense of the word." The Netv York Citizen and Bound 7 able observes :—" During the past year there have deceased nineteen of our public men who have served at various periods in Congress—twelve in the Senate and seven in the House. Of the former were the ex-President Pierce, and Messrs. John Bell, W. Pitt Fessenden, James Guthrie, Isaac Toucey, Robert J. Walker, Charles A. Wickliffe, who had in addition, at different periods, filled various Cabinet positions. The necrological list of the year is quite fruitful with many prominent and favourite names in the other walks of life. The deaths of three estimable publishers—James Harper, Henry J. Raymond, and Charles C. Little— are fresh in our recollections. Generals Wool, Rousseau, and Rawlins, of the Army ; Commodore Stewart, of the Navy ; Anthony Lispenard Robertson, Edward Bates, James T. Brady, and James Mason Campbell, of the Bench and Bar ; and Professors Dunglinson and Meigs, of Jefferson Medical College (Philadelphia) will be favourably remembered." Aproposof Chief Justice Chase's decision as to the legal tender, the Boston Transcript says : "The monwhose fa ceis on what the Supreme Court calls it redeemable paper currency' has some cheek' to turn his back on his portrait. No man ever pronounced against his own issue to the extent of Chief Justice Chase." The Public Ledger remarks—,' The London Quarterly held back its January number a week in order to get in its reply to Mrs. Stowe's book. It gives her a vindication' of the severest sort." The New York lierald says—" It is proposed to pension two little girls just rescued from Indian captivity, and to charge this pension against the annuity of the tribe that stole the children. This idea might be carried further. Why not charge against the Indians, in the nature of damages, a certain sum for every white man they kill, and reserve that sum from the, annuity of the tribe to -which tho murderer belonged ?" The 7ri tune asks—" What is a bad man ? And can it be possible that bad men' ever get into Congress ? We would not even suggest such a thing for the world, only in the sweet little passage-at- arms last ThUrf3day between Messrs. Cox and Butler, the former called the latter a bad man ;' and.said that everybody on both sides knew the gallant General to be bad man,' and also a borrih-proof' soldier. We take issue with Mr. Cox. For once we cannot agree with him. Everybody knows that the General is not only one of the best, but one of the sweetest-tempered of mankind in general, and of Congressional mankind in particular. In Adam's fall, we sinned all ; but we don't consider General Butler to be a morsel wore sinner than little Mr. Samuel Cox."  A DvEnTisEsarr. I —lloiloway's Pills. Confidential Advice. To all persons who suffix horn bilious Loadaches, disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency these Pills are most strongly recommended as the safest, Lest, and quickest mode of obtaining ease, without weakening Or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's Pills are especially useful in clearing away any excess of bile,which usually produces fever unless remedial measures be adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for removing all danger; and by purifying and regulating the circulation they effectually prevent relapses. By rousing the liver to a fair secretion of bile, and, quickly carrying it off from the system, these Pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those (Wizening feelings often called "neryput3."
