Hy of Sie Ahoilan af slaver) An Important MV la take Kisrli t Dl rcr lien from Ii Biff ht Quart-r Much earlier than wo bad reason to hope, an important move has been made in the Indiana Senate, that looks to the ultimate abolition of slavery, and the seperation of the race. On the 4th insL Ron. Lewi Wallace, Senator from Montgomery (Democrat), and son of Gov. Wallace, offered a series 'of preambles, of which the following are the most important, accompanied by the resolution appended ae Joint Resolutions to be adopted by b it U Houses of the Indiana legislature. We do not credit all the assumed facts in the preamble, nor endorte the details of the Resolutions, but we confess, that, as a whole, we prefer the plan to any thing we hare ever seen, in political circlet, on this subject. Let tbe north resolutely persist in opposing tbe further extension of slavery, and the sooth will soon look anxiously for a safe means of getting rid of tbe greet evil." When they do, we art lure the better portion of ihr north will be as ready to help the, as they now art to oppeee the spread of that curse. But the the) tonth will never agree to any terms of emancipation while she ean spread the ewe and polute virgin soilith it. The fallowing are the Whereases and Resolutions: "And whereas, The Negro population, slave and free, of the United States, has, by natural increase and unnatural amalgamation, reached the formidable nuab r of about four millions, which fact, cou il 1 with the growing disposition Jto agitate in its behalf, render it an exciting and dan gerous social and political element; it seems to us that the time is it band fur tho American people to reconsider their polier towards it, and choose now between the alternatives that must ultimately present themselves, to-wit : 1. The complete separation of tbe white and black races, by inflexible and uniform legal tests and distinctions, subjecting the colored nee to the wb'te ; 2. Tbe complete emancipation and and enfranchisement of tho colored raco, and consequent amalgamation with it ; S. The complete emancipation And .. onization of the colored race, at the public expense ; 4. The eventual extermination of the colored nee in all our domain ; And whereas. The shareholding and non-slavebolding State have repeatedly ought to effect the first of these alternative, by mutual compromise and concessions, without substantial success, the compromises thumsolvct proving addition I subjects of difference nnd strife, and in Some Of tili) AlaUra meeting with itotu il resistance, by reason of which, its practicability, as a final sotilotumt has become, to say the least, a matter of doubt; Aud whereas, tho history and X(kmv enco of alt ages have shown that tho negro race is incapable of achieving civilization or civil liberty, and that it is inferior, intellectually and physically, to tho Caucasian race: and, whereas, the history and experience of the quasi republic! of Mexico and Ceutral and S'outii America have likewise shown that mixed races are not qualified for self-government, besides exercising a degrading influenco upon society; and whereas, the disclosures of modern science prove that such mongrel races are morally and physically inferior to cither parent stock; by reason of which, the second alternative cannot bo adopted by any enlightened people : And whereas, negro slavery being sanctioned and protected by the laws of the States where it exists, aad Congress bavno rightful authority to interfere with it in euch States, aud no power or people outside of such Slate having any right to disturb it, a decent respect for Bute rights, and a just regard for tho rights of citizens concerned in slave property, forbid any movement affecting that institution without the express consent of tho States directly interested; yet, believing as we do, that an evil so great as eternal agitation in behalf of the negro must have a remedy, and that the people of tho several .Suites, North and South, aro willing, for tho sake of the Union and peace, to make mutual er! flees commeturate with tho mutual blessings to be secured, we are in favor of any judicious and equitable plan looking to a just and final settlement of tho relations of the white and colorod races in the United States, according to the plain laws of Nature : Therefore, Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Iudiada, That bis Excellency, the Governor, be and he is hereby Instructed to correspond with the Governors of tbe several States, requesting them to inform their respective Legislatures that the Stats of Indiana is ready to empower and commission two or more delegates, to meet a like number of delegates similarly empowered and commissioned by such Legislatur.!, in convention, to be held at such time and place as may be agreed upon, ihere solemnly to consider and dovise some just and practicable plan by which the colored imputation of the United States may be gradually emancipated and colonised in some foreign land; that she is al ready and willing to be directly taxed, if necessary, for her just proportion of tho fund that may bo deemed requisite to ac complish that end ; that she is ready to beetroot her Senators and Representatives j , in Congress to vote for the appropriation of the surplus annually remaining in the Treasury of tho General Governmont for tbe furtherance of the same great object; and, generally, that she is ready, in good faith, to co-operate with her sister Sutcs in carrying out any system that may bo agreed upon by such convention of delegates. Be it further resolvad. That, if it should be signified to his Excellency, tbe Oovernor, before the next session of this General Assembly, two yeurs honce, that a majority of tho States aro willing to send delegates to such convention; and if it be thought advisiblo tiat tho delegates of the States thus agreeing should meet and take action preliminary to the convention proper, and to bring about a more entire concurreuce tn tue measure, no u"1: ,uimaA to annoint and commission two iuvin rr- f citiiens of this iftato as delegates Irom Indiana to sucn pnmaij whv.uuv. wl he it further resolved, That a comniittee of two on tho part of the Senate, seaJ throe on tho isvtof tbe Hoiwe, be appoiutod to draft an Address to mo w.,,Uture oi" the several Stau upoathis subject, and that copies of this J0!?''' tiou, tomer wuu tTy hsXerwurded br hi fixcoller.cy, tho üovertbe Uwve:iKrs oi tho 6UUt, I tho members ol Congress .45000:.) . . o.

dross of President Bttkanan. ftisshort, , and, cc tapered with the incoherent bom k..i ..f IM .u... ' t --- - - .,., um uriMnn I is far more cooaorratUe than we haa reason to expect, and gives us to hope that hi. administration will not be the fillibus-j tering one that his Ostend letter indicated, nor the pro-slavery one thr.t the Cincinnati Platform, and bis Southern fricuds threatened. We shall bope for the st, and, as time develops his policy, we shall approve or disapprove his measures, according to their merits. We bavo no party ends to subserve; we seek only the good of our country. If Mr. Buchanan's administration prove truo to the interests of freedom, and of freomen, we shall rejoice at the accomplishment of good by it, quite as much as if Fremont or any other man were in the chair. We shall never presont captious objections to any of his measures, simply because be was not our choice. Tbe following is his Cabinet : Secretary of State Lewis Cast, of Michigan. Secretary of Treasury Howell Cobb,of Georgia. Secretary of War Oovernor Floyd, of Virginia. Secretary of Navy Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut. Secretary of Interior Jacob Thomson, of Mississippi. Postmaster flenersl Aaron V. Brown, of Tennessee. Attorney Oeneral Judge Black, of Pennsylvania. A we predicted, four of the seven are from the South. This has been the rule, to the best of our recollection, for many administrations. But it is a cabinet of abler men than that of Pierce. Cobb is its loading spirit, both as to talent and energy. He is intensely pro-slavery, but not adisuuiocist. But, if Mr. Buchanan takes the independent course in his administration that he seems to have taken in the selection of his cabinet, we can predict no mischief from the kind of men in it. To us, it is most gratifying that tbero is no fillibuster no disunionist in it. As to the administration, we can predict but little, either from the Cabinet or the inaugural. We are mistaken about tbe influences that aro at work, outside of Washington, if questions do not arise, as unlooked for by tho masses, as those that wero suddenly sprung upon the late adminstration. When these arise, wo shall judgo of the administration by the part performed by it, in the oncoming events, ami, from present indications, we shall not be surprised if its course will he such as to receive our cordial approbation, as well as that of the miuses of those who voted agaiiist Mr. Buchanan. The politicians who wish to keep up a party, for personal interests, may do otherwise, but the peoplo will rndorso a wise administration On the Other Mind, should the COlirsO be .ither tliuu tli.iL i:'iie;iteJ, lie will cast off the masses of those who supported him,' ii. tiie northern States. At present, we will lit. Klannplua; ejtt nnrtinavllle. Wo have received a file of tho Martii.svillu Gazette, giving an accouul of an allod8cd tittompt to kiduap a colored man . in that place, by W. P. Quick Ksq. and others. The parties accused, wore arrested, took two changes of vonue, and were finally acquittod,;the OazeetU says, becanse tho prosecuting witness were prevented from attending, by high waters. I The colored man was taken under pretenso of his being a fugitive slave, but no conveyance could I obtained to curry him to the rail road, till morning, and ho was released. Such is, in short, the Gaxrtte's account. We believe Mr. Quick admits that the parties accused, did talk with a negro, and question him as to his freedom. It may hare been only a zealous effort to obey tho constitution, and return an nnclaimed fugitive to his master, to save tbe Union, and pocket tho dollars. Winter In Wisconsin. Rev. A. Brunson, writing from Prairie Du Chine, Wis., to tho X. W. Christian Advocate, thus alludes to the past winter. Guess we'll not move there: "This winter, so far, has been the hardest and we have had the most snow, of any that I have witnessed in twenty-one that I have been in this country, or that I have soen in over fifty years in any country. We have had at least six feet of snow on tho level, though not all at once; say two and a lialf feot ou the ground at one time, which was settled by rains at different times, tbe only rains I have ever known in this country in the winter, with one or two exceptions. As a consequence, it has been very difficult to travel, so that I have been prevented from reaching four quarterly-meeting:!, fur which 1 started, and from the want of roads is a direct course, I havo been compelled to travel, in some instances, scores of miles round, so as to reach tbe main thoroughfares. I have never, until this winter, known the thermometer to sink lower than thirty-six agrees below zero, but on tho 18th of January, it was down to forty-four degrees. The ico of the Mississippi, which is now being removed to the ice-houses in blocke, shows a depth of two and a half feet Bro.

The Supreme Court of the United States rendered its decision on theCih inst.j Thoy have decided the fallowing nil .in-' portent points: 1. That negroes, whether slaves or free, (that is, men of the African race,) are not citizens of the United tatoa Irv the Const! tilt Kill. 1 M If J 2. That the Ordinance of 1787 had no independent constitution, force, or lejjal effect subsequently to the adoption of the Constitution, and could not operate of itself to confer freedom or cilisenahip, within the North-western Territories, upon negroes, not citizens by the Constitution. t. That tbe provision of the act of 1820, commonly called the Missouri Cornpromise, is.so far as it undertook to seclude negro slavery from, and communicate freedom and citisenship to negroes in the northern pert of Louisiana, was a legislative act exceeding the powers of Congress, and, consequently, void and of no legal effect to that end in deciding those main points. Tbe Supreme Court has decided tbe following incidental points: 1. That the expression "Territory and other property of the Union, in the Constitution, applies in terms only to such territory as the Union possessed at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. 2. That the rights of citizens of tbe United States, emigrating to any Federal Territory, depend on tho general provisions of the Constitution, whieh defines in this, as in all other respects, the power of Conzross. 3. As Congress does not possess power In itself to make enactments relative to persons or property of citizens of tbe United States in the Federal Territory, other than snch as the Constitution confers, so it cannot constitutionally delegate any such powers to a Territorial Government,orgnnited by it under the Constitution. 4. That the legnl condition of a slave in the State of Missouri is not effected by a temporary sojourn of such slave in any other .State, but on his return his condition still depends upon the laws of Missouri. As the plaintiff was not a citizen of Missouri, and therefore could not sua in the Courts of the United States, the suit must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. On the next day, Justice McLean delivered his opinion arguing that "slavery fs limited to the range of the Stale wherein established by a mere municipal law. If Congress doe m slaves or free colored crsous injurious to the Territory, they have the power to prohibit theni from Incoming ..i .t ml - isettlers tnorein. J no power to acquire territory brings with it the power to govern it. The master doea not carry with him to tho territory tho law of tho Rtato from which he removes; honce tho Missouri Compromse is constitutional, and the presumption is in favor of tho freodom of Dred Scott and hit family, who were free under the decisions for the last twentyeight years ju.llcaCurÜedis-onted from the opinion flf mrlty of th- Court al delivered hy Cbief Juti(.0 j gave hu riM0M for difMnting FortunAlfci- :n .w d.v. - Mt mav . . .. . .. may make remarks upou a judicial opinion. Time was when the people held juuio ial decisions in high esteem, for the bench was occupied hy jurists, not demagogues Without pretending to know as much law as the great men who gave the above opinion know, we simply state thst it makes consummate fools of somebody. Either Washington, and Jefferson, and Adam and Jackson, and. Clay, and Webster, (and at an earlier age only 9 years ago Utichanau,) were tools, or tue memburs of that Court are. The men of oth er times thought that Congress had the power ro prohibit slavery in tho territories, and thoy wore tbejmen who made tbe constitution. But wo do not care for this decision. The people have .undertaken tho discusslon of the slavery qnestion, and neither Mr. Buchanan's inaugural nor this decision will quiet them, Mr. Suit's Hpeeck. We call attention to the remarks of Hon. Mr. Suit, on the prohibitory law, which will be found on our first page. They contain some facts which are already well known, but his manner of telling them is excellent. Mr. Buit is not a temperance man be speaks as a statesman, not as a fanatic. He speaks too, as one who knows and fetis the need of prohibition. Had auch a law been in force 20 years ago, he would havo boon one of our bri ghost and best m on. It may corns too late to save him but be wants to save others. Mr. Suit's "social habits" aro much the same as those of the Senator from Franklin probably more like those of Gov. Willard. DOMWTIC ExrlTWEUT 15 JgFFf SONVII.LB. The goeaipe of Jeffersonville have been highly excited during the past few days in consequence of a matrimonial matter which didn't come off according to arrangement. Tho intended groom is on ly nineteen years of age while the bride that was to be is only sixteen.

A correspondent, whose tetter is too flat tering, in general, for publication, thus speaks of one feature of the American: "Will V..U let Dm s iy that I like it lie onssr it d iggers theirs, irrusses, talk, whisky shop, ikr? t is some comfort to know that there is onk paper in Indiana does this feari weljv. Mabju others I am happy to sny pitch into whisky with a will, and others of the grocer vices. But so far as my know elodge extend, all others phot bills for, ami puff the above named uasiess and sinful amusements The American ought to have a wider circulation." S . ( gy. Our correspondent may uot know that this course of tbe Amoricau has not only deprived it of hundreds of dollars income that other papers havo from these sources, but it has given occasion to some for discontinuing their papers. They do not want a paper that will not tell them when the "show" is etiminj?. Wo have however tho approbation of our own conscience, and the approval, not the patronage of Rood men. There is this diiicrence. Men who love theatres, cimisees, and the like will not take a paper thnt oposes them, while men who disapprove of them re not tiarticnlar cither to support snch papem or to discountenance such as puff them. A writer in the Indianapolis Journal thus Daguerreotypes some of the notables of that body: McCleary haa been a better man than ho is now the donate chamber is not tbe place for him he is too good natnred to bo a legislator; Änge is a useful member, a very sensible man, and as he constitutes "one half" of tho Fillmore party in the Senate, he enjoys a light between the other two, until the continuance of it dostro ve bis patience; Sinter, of Donrborn, Is an invoternta old liner, and outside of polities does but little for his constituents; Stevons has but little to say, quits speaking when he has said what he wants to say and lets others address the chair without interruption; Suit hates slavery democracy with a deep hatred, lores to chastiso Joe Wright, and talks saucily to the chair when he thinks the posit;on of the rhair wrong be is attentive to his business and to the interests of Ids constituents; Wallace spenVs as much as nnv man in the Senate, and Interrutis other members hen speaking, very frequently theao are Ida principal elmracteristics aside fro n tin - he it a good member, and desirous of aceomidishln k somo positive good in legislation he is n vert unpleasant sjicaker, and not clear, by any means, in his olucldations; Yarynn oumes last, but ho is not by any moans least he i a whole horse to tue legislative stae, and carries, in a small sited head, a large quantity of sood, bard common sense, which he puts to a ood use whenever he attempts to nrgue a qnestion. He is a little too passionate perhaps, and gets excited too easily, hut he ia a totigh stick to hew by" any axes wo have yet seen tried upon him. The Republicans need not be ashamed of the men thoy havo representing the party in the Sonnte. They are good men and true, and the most of them of ability. Tho Democrats hnve somo good men in tbe Senate, Ixit tho weight of brain end measure of mental power Is with tho Republicans. Adjournmcat of tUo Icf lalature. This worthless and vnconsfltutunial body adjjurned last Monday, leaving much important business unfinished, among which was the appraisment law. The whiskey law was also lost, but that is immaterial, ns it was only intendod to legalize the pres ent unlawful free whiskey trade. The Democrats refused to do busincu from 2 p. at. Saturday, by breaking the quorum, and other means, im til the hour of adjourn ment. The contested election caso of Miller was mado the order of the dav for 2 r. it. Saturday, and as tho committee had reported in favor of tho Republican, and us the report was likely to bo adopted, the Democrats preferred to leave the State without an Appraisment law without the special appropriation, and other important laws, rather than adept thu report. Such are the beauties of party! We learn from tho Cincinnati (kitttte, that the apportionment bill was, passed. and signed by the Governor.

If I wore to at. tempt to describe tho country, its climate, soil, productions, health, and beauty of scenery, it would be but to tepe.u what has been written time and again by pens more graphic than mine. I can only confirm the truth of tho statements heretofore made iu relation to tho many advantage of a residence in this country. It is true, we havo bad a long and very severe winter, yot it has been a winter of remarkable good health. Tho river dosed with ico ou tho third of December and has been quite a thoroughfare most of the time since, and still passable hy pedestrians. Wo are just,now threatened with a flood -the river being very high, nnd when the general breaking up lakes place, there may lie awful destruction with tho water craft along the river shore. Muscatine isnjpleasant and thriving city. Preparations aro boing made for a largo number of buildings the coming season, and a vast doal of business is confidently calculated upon. A charter haa teon obtained from tho Legislature of Illinois for a railroad from a pout opposite this city to Oiilosburg, IIIinoiswhich, connecting with other roads, will give a direct outlet east through Central Illinois and Indiana, thereby saving above an hundred miles from Muscatine to Indianapolis, from tho usually traveled route, through Chicago, which must add to tho growth aud business of this city. Notwithstanding the go-ahead spirit manifests itself iu this community, there are many who aro not satisfied with doing weli, and want to do better, ami tire bound for Kansas. Tho emigration to that Territory this spiing will btt without a paralU!. The whisky Democrats and dougbfaced Republican! in our State Legislature sue coedod in disturbing the prohibitory liquor law, but not to affect it very seriously. The law was so modified so as to giteach county tho privilego to say by vote, at tho spring election, whethor license shall bo granted to murder human leiugs in thai couulv bv soiling 1'uiuor. Should the vote bo against liceusc, thou is prohj bition legally brought to bear. If for liconse, the judge may issue license, but un der wholesome restriction. "The petition for licenso must bo sign ed by twelve freeholders, who shall certify that the applicant is a man of retp table character and standing, Sec." IIo may havo that character and standing when he applies, but when he goes at liquor so'din - ho loses'it, certain, so that he may not hope to get license a second time, if men certify the truth. He must givo bond in the sum of one of $5,000, with good security, that ho will keep an orderly' house that ho will not allow gambling of any kind in or about his premises, Ac. That is to say, bo will keep a different doggery from any that has over been kopt before.which no man in his souses would go security for an orderly doggery, sanctified profanity, pious robbory, holy murder, respectable liquor-sellers, 'all in the same category of palpable absurdities. He is to pay from $50 to $100 to the county, and town authorities may pile on $1,000 or more. IIo is to support all pauper, widowsi and orphans, and pay the expenses of all civil and criminal prosecutions growing out of, or justly attributablo to his traffic in drunkard-making. This is a specimen of the entire temperance law, which is noxt to prohibition. From tho fact that when tho question of prohibition was voted upon by the people, there were but two counties in tho Stato that bad a majority ngainst it, we hope to stay tho desolating tide Vof intomporance, and present a model State for temperance, sobriety, moral intelligence nnd religion. JNO. W. SULLIVAN. (yThe Border-Ruffian Legislature of Kansas adjourned on tho morning of tho 21st lilt., having fixed things, us they seemed to think, for tho subjugation of the Territory. The Governor signed tho bill making it treason, punishablo with death, to resist the laws, and vetoed the bill (or tho calling ol a Constitutional CotivcnIsafs, which was subsequently passd ovor his veto by a unanimous vote. Thu Legislature had evidently satisfied themselves that his Excellency was "sound ou the goose," as they passed a coucurrcnt resolution of good-will toward that functionary, and gavo him a friendly call after adjournment. 03T Tho Stato Sentinel, in iu efforts to give ono of its accustomed digs at tho ministry, publishes au infamous charge agaiust D. (). Daily, Esq., and calls him Rev. Daily. Mr. Daily is a lawyer, not a preacher, hence some supposed that his brother, llev. Dr. Daily, had boeu guilty of base conduct. It is thus that all thu infamous calumnies against preachers are manufactured. If a scamp does anything mean, or is reported to have done it, he is forthwith mado a Reverend aud thus efforts aro mado to poison tho public

A bill hits passed the House requiring the distribution in the county of the school fund raised bv tho countv, or rather of that portion ot the luiul derived trom me ton cunt tax. Iu the Senate n proposition to the sumo effect was referred to tho Education Committee, and reiMirted against, in which reiiort tho Somite concurred by tho casting vote of President Hammond. Wo have not full ninny impulses to upprove me cuuuuti oi üir. t uiiiiiiiunu, ""M .1.. ..r t ii l .... in Iii ffiviii! this vote we think he did a ill Uli) l 11IL, llllb t Ol V.0 tlllllK IIO tl.tl It . wood work. There tiro reason if weight iu favor of the county distribution plan, wc do not deny; but tho balance of argument is against it. Tho greater school expenses of those old and richcounties, iu which is raised a much.largcr sum than is awarded them by the present distribution, is but a partial argument for tho county project It docs not cover the wholo case, nor meet all the strongest arguments against such distribution. At tho very outset there is a serious objection to tho proposed change. It is the lifo of any system, reaching so far, that it should bu allowed to grow into tho lieartd of the poople, as their recognition of Governmont and Huligioti grows there. They must become settled in it, and feel inevitable portion of the laws, before its full usefulness can , be reached. This fooling can never j groiv around a system that is being perpet ually tinkered at, Each radical change loosons iu roou in the popular mind, and leaves it with the strangeness and dislike that every new system brings with it Lot the legislature heed thu clamor of the huudrcds who always object to all systems, aud ii tiie Christiau religion were

system into a feebleness of popular

ment that will kill its usefulness tually. It is a wise policy to make no changes in such a system that an impera tive necessity or overmastering benefit does not require. There is no such r pcessitv for the county distribution scheme. The system has worked well for a new system, and use is beginning to wear its rough joints and hinges into smoothness. Coun ties may have felt an occasional burthen or injustice iu the general distribution system, but nothing that threw the gearing out of place, or stopped or delayed the reg ular and beneficent working of the system. But there is another objection, which was urged by Senator Murray jin tho de bate in the Senate with great force. If Justice requires that each county shall bave the use of tbe money it pays to the school fund, justice equally requires that tbe same righteous exclusion of "outsiders" be accorded to each township, and to each district, nay, to each farm upon which the tax is collocted. If the county is entitled to all it pays, and a general system should bo broken up to secure that justice to tho county, upon what principle of legislation or logic can the township, tbe district, or the individual, be excluded? What is the "county distribution" but the recogni tion of the selfish principle, as opposed to this benevolent principle? And what log ical breeching have its advocates to pre vent them running down hill right into the system that each man shall educate his own children, the very thing the school svstcm was introduced to avoid. Further, if no resident of ono county should juiy to educate the children of another, why should non residents of tho State be com polled to n.lucate anybody in the State? Are thoy not as justly entitled to tbe bene (It of their own school taxes as residents? Whv not amend tho law, so as to make It consistent, and order the County Treasurers to remit the school tax charged again non residonts? Tho observance of county linos is not wlso. They are arbitrary divisions, and will work just as gross injustice as that the ' county" project is Intended to cure. If tho system is to be a wholo system, nnd not nn aggregation of fragments, similar in construction and material certainly, but still fragments, let it remain as it is, till a longer experience of 'ts working gives us a better knowledgo of its needs, and the way to meet them. (7- The late action of Congress upon ti e corruption coses before them, is about of apiece with the decision of a Dutch Justice, in the case of n man brought before him for sheep-stealing. Py sure der man is guilty and I holds dat der lawyer be line I five tollars, and der constable pays dor cost. The corruption committee rejiortod that four members of Congress wero guilty, ami ought to be expelled. Three of them were permitted to resign without trial, the futtrtli, nklmugh making no defense, was arquiltcd for tho want of atifHcient testimony, ns alleged. The only parties expelled were the witnesses, Hiniontou and TrtfaoSt, who occupied seats upon the tloor ns reporters for the Press. They wore supposed to Li.ow a hllle too Uiucli of the currupt practiro of member, to) be safely trusted with privileged seats upon tbe tloor, and hoi. 10 they were expelled. There never was a greater humbug -a more rediculous farce than these (Jongrcsuionul Corruption cases, and the action of Congress upon them. JV. A. Tribune. its.
