TWma. th nst session of Congress, a resolution

was introduced into the House ot Representatives by Mr Burge, instructing the committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the expediency of excluding Editors of papers from all government contracts, patronage, or support. Mr. Hamer, a Democratic Representative from Ohio, from this committee, made an able and lucid report, sustaining the rights and claims of the Editorial corps, and vindicating their course in accepting offices and appointments, in a most masterly manner. We have before alluded to the report of Mr. IIaker, as a master-piece of argument. We intend at some early day to gratify, our readers with a perusal of it; at present we can afford room for only a few extracts: "Those who seek to maintain the independence of the press should rather increase its honest emoluments than1 diminish them because, in the same proportion as Editors are made poor, and rendered dependent upon the rich and designing, in the same proportion will they become the instruments of a sinister ambition. To prevent this, which must be considered one of the greatest disasters that could befall a free people, we must encourage virtue and intellect in the profession, by holding out the same inducements to them which are presented to all other classes. The controlling patronage of individual and corporate wealth should be counterpoised by the patronage of public honor, public offices, and public esteem. An Editor who boldly and ably resists the influence which is unceasingly at war, either openly or secretly, deserves the rewards and the emoluments which should always crown the labors of a public benefactor. To serve the cause of our country is to reward its defenders;

and to promote the interest of the people is to sustain and patronize the men who ardently and ably maintain those interests. If the time shall ever come when the owners or conductors of the press are proscribed from the places of honor, trust, and profit, there will soon be neither honesty nor honor in its management leaving the people without those means of information which now enable thern to detect falsehood, baffle corruption, and maintain their rights and liberties against every attempted encroachment." We feel that we have trespassed in the length of

The three Jolly Hushands. Three jolly husband?, out in the country, by the names of Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and Bill Walker, sat late one evening drinking at a village tavern, until being

pretty well corned, they agreed that each one, on i returning home, should do the first thing his wife told him7 in default of which he should the next morning pay the bill. They then separated for the night engaging to meet again the next morning and givo an honest account of their proceedings at home, so far as they related to the payment of the bill. The next morning, Walker and Brown were early at their posts; but it was sometime before Watson made his appearance. Walker began first. "Yousee, when I entered my house the candle was out, and as the fire gave but a glimmering of light, I came near walking accidentally into a pot ofbatter that the pancakes were to be made of this morning. My wife, who was dreadfully out of humor at silting up so long, said to me sarcastically, "Do put your foot into the batter .'" "Just as you say, Maggy," said I, and thereupon, without the least hesitation, I set my foot in the pot of batter, and then went to bed. Next Joe Brown told his story. "My wife," slid he, "had already retired to rest in our usual sleeping room which adjoins the kitchen, and the door of which was left njar. Not being ablo to navigate perfectly well, you know, I made a dreadful clattering among the household furniture: and my wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawled out, "Do break the porridge-pot, Joe!" No sooner siid

than done, I seized hold of the bail of the pot, and striking against the chimney jim, broke it in a hundred pieces. After this exploit I retired to rest, and got a curtain lecture all night for my pains." It was now Tim Watson's turn to give an accunl of himself; which he did, with a very long face, as follows: "My wife give oae the most unlucky command in the world: for as I was blundering up stairs in the dark, she cried out "Do break your rotten neck, do, 77m" 'I'll bee s d if 1 do, Kate,' said I, as gathered myself up, 'I'll sooner

Fatal trick of a Conjurer. A dreadful accident occurred at Arnstadt, on the 10th of November. On that day, Linsky, the celebrated legerdemain performer, gave, in the presence of the family of Prince Schwartzburg Sondershauscr, a grand exhibition, in which he distinguished himself by an extraordinary display of his art. Six soldiers from the garrison were introduced, to fire with ball cartridges at Madame Linsky, the young wife of the conjurer. They vere however, instructed in biting the cartridge to bite oft the ball, and keep it in the mouth, as they had been shown how to do on a rehearsal. Madame Linskv was

for a lime unwilling to perform the part allotted to her in this trick; but by the persuasion of her husband, she was induced to consent. The soldiers, who were drawn up before the company, took aim at Madame Linskv, and fired. For a moment ufter the firing she remained standing upright, but the next moment she sunk down, saying, "Dear husband, I am shot." One of the musket balls, which had not been bitten off, passed quite through her abdomen. The unfortunate woman never spoke another word, and died on the second day after she received the wound. Many of the spec

tators fainted, and the horror of the scene has given a shock to the reason of Linsky. It was indeed a spectacle which might have unmanned the most firm. It is to bo hoped tint this event will serve as a warning to all conjurers, as well us to the spectators of their tricks, who usually show too inconsiderate a confidence in the art of the performer, not only with respect to cases of risk of 4ife, but to other practices of a dangerous nature. Austrian Observer.

A Baukcr at Paris, returning home some evening's ago, from a ball, missed three things his wife, his cashier, and the contents of his strong box. Having by some means learned that tho fugitives were gone to Havre, he immediately followed them and arrived at the Hotel in which they had taken up their abode, where he learned they wcrp to sad the next day for America. Making a confident of the landlord, the banker went to the chamber in w hich the two culprits were. At the firt summons the recreant cashier opened the door and, throwing himself at the feet of the injured bonehctor, acknowledged his criminality, and on'y rupplicated mercy for his guilty companion, who lay trembling in the bed which he had just quitted. "Don't bo alarmed my worthy fellow," said the banker, "all I want is my money." Tho whole of this was immediately given up. The banker having ascertained that nothing was kept back, turned round to the delinquent and of

The tray things arc done in our Legislatures. Three years ago last winter, Mr. Stansbeny,a member of the U. S. Congress, was waylaid by a Mr. Houston. Mr. Houston was arraigned before the House of Representatives, tried, and found guilty, of a violent assault and battery upon one of its members, and sentenced to be reprimanded by the Speaker. During the same session another member was shot at. The delinquent was handed over to the authorities of theD.'strctof Columbia. A year ago last session, a member of tho Ohio Senate was called to order by another Senator. The Senator who was called to order, immediately after the adjournment made an attack upon his friend, and received his friend's knife in his arm, and so the matter ended. At the late Session of the Louisiana Legislature, a Mr. Grimes shot the Speaker of the House of Representatives with buck shot and grazed the temple of another member with a ball. This was all done in tho Legislative Hall, and at the hour Appointed for calling the House to order. Mr. Grimes was sentenced by the House to be reprimanded by the Speaker pro. tern.

In the Pennsylvania Senate Mr. Baker being offended at some remarks made by Dr. Sutherland struck him a blow. The commission of such violence in such a place, was agreed on all hands to "be regretted." In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Mr. Stevens moved that Mr. McEKvee be expelled for challenging two members. Mr. M'Elwee moved that Mr. Stevens be expelled for ungenllemanly deportment. The resolutions were referred. In the JVew York Senate, Mr. Young charged Mr. Hubbard, willf circulating false and slanderous reports in the newspapers, and concluded, by say

ing that if Mr. Hubbard were to sit for a portrait, he would draw that of a drunken demagogue. Mr. Hubbard replied that all he had to say was that the gentleman was a liar. . Such scenes add much to the dignity and respectability of our Legislative Jbodies. Ohio Atlas. Wahrevtox, April 19. Warren Superior Court, Judge Norwood presiding. "Our Superior Court commenced its session on Mondav last. Lemuel Turner, who was indicted for the murder of John Harwell, and whose trial was moved from the county of Halifax, submitted an afiidavitfor the removal of his cause from Warren county, upon which his honor directed a removal to the county of Granville. The prisoner is to be confined in Halifax jail until the fall term of Granville Superior Court. Sentence of death was pronounced upon William Garner, for the murder of his wife Martha Garner. He is to be executed bv tho Sheriff of Warren

county, on the fifteenth of May next, between the hours of twelve and two in the afternoon. Garner appeared to be calm and composed when the sentence of the hw was pronounced upon him, not evincing the slightest alarm or agitation of feeling. Judge Norwood having concluded his remarks on the occasion, in which the prisoner was advised to prepare himself to appear before the bar of his God, lie very deliberately observed that "he felt no uneasiness as to a future world." The murder was committed in Northampton county, where the prosecution originated, from there the trial was removed to Warren county and the prisoner was tried and convicted at the last term of our Superior Court. From the judgment pronounced against him in the Warren Superior Court, he appealed to the Supreme Court, in which the judgment of the Court below was affirmed. Garner had been married to his wife but a few months when the shocking deed was perpetrated for which he is now to suffer? Reporter. Wearing Flannels. As the genial sunshine of tpring advances, those accustomed to wearing flannel under garments are too much disposed to lay them suddenly aside. This is an error of great magnitude. Keep them on till the east wind is no longer elaborated; till the flowers are blooming in the fields, and a uniform atmospheric temperature is established. A multitude, annually, are hurried to an early grave, in the very meridian of life, in consequence of not understanding, or by neglecting, this pimple though important advice. JUed. Jour . Damsons. It is well known that the fruit of the damsou tree generally rots and falls to the ground, before maturity. This may be preventd by placing a pan of old leather scraps among the branches, Jfhile tho tree is in bloom, and keep them smoking lor csveral days. The fruit will then come to per ftctioa. Try it. .

From the Pleasing Expositor. Ephes. 14,28. "Let him that stole steal no more ; hut rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may havo to give to him that needeth." Some time ago, the Rev. Rowland Hill preached a funeral sermon, occasioned by the death of his man-servant. In the course of his sermon, he delivered the following affecting relation: 'Many persons present," he said, "were acquainted with the deceased and have had it in their power to observe his character and conduct. They can bear witness, that for a considerable number of years he proved himself a perfectly honest, sober, industrious, and religious man; faithfully performing, as far as lay in his power, the duties of his station in life, and serving God with constancy and zeal. Yet this very man was once a robber on the highway. More than thirty years ago, he stopped me on the public road and demanded my money. Not at all intimidated, I argued with him; I asked what could induce him to pursue so iniquitous and dangerous a course of life?" 'I have been a coachman,' said he; I am out of place, and cannot get a char

acter. I am unable to get any employment, and am

therefore obliged to resort to this means of gaining a subsistence." I desired him to call on me. He promised ho would, and he kept his word. I talked further with him, and offered to take him into my own service. He consented, and ever since that period he has served me faithfully, and not mo only but has faithfully served his God. Instead of finishing his life in a public and ignominious manner, with a depraved and hardened mind, as he probably would have done, he died in peace, and we trust, prepared for the society of just men made perfect. Till this day, the extraordinary circumstance I have related has been confined to his breast and mine. I have never mentioned it to my dearest friend."

most amiable and unoffending manner?, had the misfortune to become involved in a fracas with five or six farm laborers, in which he was so haid pressed as to be compelled, in self-defence, to discharge a pocket pistol, killing one of the party, named Thomas Ellis, dead on tho spot. How this unfortunate affiir was produced, witnesses arc not agreed in saying, although there were 10 or 12 present. Ellis, it appears, stepped up to Buchanan and took up the quarrel of another individual, who, as is alleged, had been insulted by B. in the course of tho day. Mr. Buchanan told him he was armed and would protect himself at all hazards; and ere three minutes, during which it is impossible to discover what happened, because of tho discrepancy in the evidence, the pistol was heard and Ellis fell a dead man. Mr. B. resolved, as soon as he saw the result, to give himself up and await the award of court. He remained at Waterloo on parole last night. This morning an inquest was held whose verdict, I was told by their foreman, was manslaughter. Ellis has left a wife and a child."

Teams vs. Steam. Quite an animated 'contest has been carried on for several weeks past between those enterprising mail coach proprietors, Stockton Stokes, and the Baltimore and the Ohio Rail Road Company, in the transportation of passengers between this city and Baltimore, which has caused considerable excitement among our citizens, who watch the arrival of cars and stages with much interest. On one day the stage will arrive full of passengers, at a slapping pace, full thirty minutes before the cars the next, they came out neck and neck or rather neck and boiler on the third, the steamer is ahead, and dashes on to the depot like a thundercloud with a streak of lightning attached to it, or a dog with a tin-pot tied to his tail. "Hurrah Stokes." "Hurrah Steam?"

as much fervor as ever was the battle-cry of Richard Cocur de Lion. How long this steam and team contest will last wo cannot say for one of the partie? seems to delight in hot water, and the other is determined not to break down whilst a wheel is left betweenthis and Wheeling. But little we reck if it is continued as long as the Trojan war, for it is rife with benefits to the editors on the route, and enables us to receive the Eastern mail some hours sooner than formerly. The opposition of Messrs. Stockton &. Stokes was caused by what they deem an extravagant demand by the Rail Road Company for carrying the mail between Frederick and Baltimore. As to the merits of the case we know nothing; but we loam that tho experiment of Messrs. Stockton &, Stokes has thus been far liberally patronized, and bids fair to continue to be so. Frederick (Md.)

The Worcester A ffair. The town of Worcester, (Mass.) has backed out of the high stand it had taken on the subject of temperance. A town-

of age, and the other only ebout 13 or 11, we under-1 meeting was held on Monday of last week, to de-

stand, died upon the spot. At the time their assailants came upon them, they were engaged in cutting wood, near some placo where steamboats usually landed to take in wood, and knew nothing of their danger until it was too late either to escape or to do any thing in self defence. The M'-

Grews, it is said, have been heard to swear vengeance against the family of the Kemps, for some grudge which they have for a long time hoarded. If the facts bo true, as we have heard tliem, and we know of no reason to doubt their authenticitv, it is to be hoped tho Governor will offer such a reward for their npprehension, as will make sure of their arrest, if they can be found any where on the continent.

A Lion killed by a Leopard. We understand, from a gentleman, who witnessed the battle, that during the exhibition of the Menagerie, at Norwalk, on Saturday last, an engagement took place in one of the cages between a leopard and a lion, one of his room-mates, and before the keeper, who immediately entered the cage, could separate the combatants, the lion was killed. We did not learn what led to the misunderstanding between those playmates, who appeared to be extremely fond of each other the day previous, during the hours of exhibition in the place. Stamford Ct.

The Salem Gazette gives the following hit at a set of loungers with which the town is troubled : Comfort at the Corner. tkI say. Bob, where were you last night?' "Oh in the old place, on the corner. "How long did you stay?' "From seven till nine glorious fun--Jem looked the gals out of countenance, and then I look'd 'em in again. Bill &, I wrastled on the sidewalk. Tom sot on the door step and whistled. Harry and Joe and Burster formed a line across the sidewalk, and tnrn'd all the white headed fogees out into the gutter. If lint weren't prime sport, then I don't know. We're goin agin to-morrow night, and the night after, and Sunday night, we're going to meet an hour sooner; and if every body that goes by, don't know we're there, then there arrCt no blackguards in Salem.'7

Minority for re-consideration

A motion was then made to postpone the whole subject indefinitely, and carried without opposition. A further motion to choose two additional select men was then made and carried, and Col. Pliny Merrick and Gen. K. L. Birnard were chosen. And so the good people of Worcester will continue to enjoy their 'unalienable right' of getting tipsy when they happen to be so minded, without going out of town for the wherewithal. Well, it will not do to attempt any severity on their decision we should doubtless bo shrewdly suspected of some leaning to a union of "Church and State." yCw Yorker.

Chinese Proclamation. The following is a proclamation of one of the Emperor's of China, when he arrived at the age of three score and ten: 'I will, that one child or relation of ever man aged 70, be exempted from road work and military service, in order that the old man may always have somebody to wait upon him. I give to every man aged SO, one piece of silk, a pound of cotton, ten bushels of rice, and ten pounds of meat. The old men from eighty to one hundred must receive the double of this; but those of one hundred I must be acquainted with myself, and scatter upon them with my own hands, the blessings I intend them."
