JOHN C. CALHOUN.

How He Killed Senator XcRobert?, of Illinois. A Reminiscence of the United State Senate of 1848. Dexter, March 31, To (he lion. John the Democrat in iVcntworth. Editor of .'hicago, from 183G to 1SC4: Your eloquent and interesting lecture to the old eettlers of Chicago, on your recol'ections cf Adams, Clay, Calhoun, "Webster and -Benton, on the 17th icst., has just reached rr.e, for which I think you. It has stirred up my memory cf bjgonea in the United States Senate, r.d I telephone back to you IhroHgh the brightest and youngest of our papers in Denver, Hello, of ray firat visit to that ilia?triou8 body, lh the 22J of DeceJiW, IMS. Ax.d i'.rar.ge to say, a sentenco in your lecture affords the text on which my visit on that eventful morning turns. You est, 'I had never äoert Judge Mclloberti, our United states Senator from Illinois, but 1 Lurried around among ray colleagues and gathered what information I could, and did the bc-t I coull to raaka mysolf ready for tho resolution of condolence at his death, gent over from the Senate." Kow it so happened tfcut on my first visit to the Svnate I nw Senator McRorxrta when he rfteirttl his deiith blow. I saw the arrow r.imeJ at hini by that greatest of all of our i:a:oriai gladiators, John C Calhoun; watched the soaft as it struck him, and heard the nica i of that poor old Senator as ho went out of the Senate chamber to hi3 grave cn his way tack to Illinois to hi Democratic' constituents, of whom you were one never aain to appear on earth, aa he died of the intellects 1, logical and wonderful abating power t f John 0. Calhoun, who r"vor had and nertr will i'avo a peer ir tib Senate. And it bappCLd in this wise: TLal morning, Djtmb.-. 22, IS 12, was oi3 of thoso old fiebioriod winter mornings in Washington, '.:';h a3 were never equals J elsewhfre. when the air was keen, cool and sharp, and the sun snono as ia tho tropics, which mnde every one feel as if ho wanted a priz'j fight, and that all hii mor.4-al and physical faculties wer strung to their highest tension. 1 was then but tvonty-Sve years of ago, and on that bright, bevdti'ul morning, for the first time in my li.e 1 entered tha.t august tribunal m a spectator. There ?it Itufus Choate tn 1 Lui foi.-; Davis, tr.ua JIas3achuse Si h lV r 1 and Nathaniel Taltuai, of Hi w York; Senators Pcelpo and Collate.-, .T Vermont; ,.!;r. M. Berrien, of (JeergL; J- hn C. Calhoun, of Suth Carolina; Lienry Clay and Governor luteal f, o? Kentucky; William WooJbriJge and Augustus S. Torter, my oil law-tencfc-er, of Mk'nigin, and such men. As I entend the Chaplain commenced his short, earnest prayer, and then that stanch, sterling o!d VThig, Willie P. ilanguni, President oi lhe Senate, called the body to order, and the day's work begin. This was tho old Senate Chamber, now the Supreme Court room, and not that tawdry, vulgir room uied ty the present Senate, resembling the gambiing-bouscs of Monaco. As busings began my patron asked mo "if he might introduce mo to the leading Senators," but I declined, saying I would sit in the cor&er and listen, as I did do. Mr. Mc-liobert-was then your Illinois Senator, and came forward, and then the Vice-President, ilangum, announced "the Senator from Illinois, oa the third reading of his bill to leaio tliu lead lands of Illinois to actual fccttlerö ; hereon.'' And thereupon your Senator, over whose memory at tho uext session you delivered a eulogy, arose, and for c:i."iy thrco hours itai a p.-into l speech "in ft vor of leasing the l-jad lands ji the United States to American citizens ua tenants cf tho United Sitts." "While he was reading I noticed in front of m r very tall, spare, nervous mn, with hair iik i quills of a fretful porcupine, apparently immersed in reading a newspaper, out very restless, and no sooner was McRobert. in Lis a at than up shot, like an arrow, John C. Calhoun, over six leet high, straight as a ramrod, and, as he shouted out 'Mrr President," with a snap like a riie, the lridflat replied: "The Senator Irom South Carolina has the floor!" and tho stillness of death came over the Senate Chaxber. StaLding ks erect as a mountain pine, mk. ing no gesticulation, save with his long, bony for-finger, he spoke not exceeding fitt'in minutes, and in that time he demournloJ that our Government could never ec-vne a zreat landlord, and the people of llisjis were never intended to become nazt?, iike the Irish. Und his logic was so easterly, his eloquence was so conviacine. hat on taking bis scat tho 3Iclloberts bill as ki'lel foiever, and the old author on Aeavin;r the Senats to return to Illinois died n routo home a victim to the mental power.thö wonierfal ability.of John 0. Calhoun who, fir int -llectnal force, logical and forensic ability, was the peer of any man in the Na tion, and squal only Daniel Webster. As soon a.s the speech was ended I sought an introduction to Mr. Calhoun, who, grasping mv hand in hi3 two. taUoJ to mo of Mi:h igan, all its forts, fortifications, etc,, which he had located as Secretary of War under John Q-iiacy Adams a President, and in a day or two I dined with Mr. Calhoun h'13 son, Capt. Tat Calhoun, then of the army. His hoaie had but one or two carpets in all the rooms, and his table was as simple as those among the Spartans, but over and arounl all this wai the spirit and halo of intellectuality, learning, logic, and mental refinement. I was then, as always, a Whig, and had no sympathy with Mr. Calhoun's secession d.-ctriiie3, but I feel as you did, John Went worth, that no more able debater, no moro logical rcasoner, no purer and. more elegant Senator ever graced that Chamber, and so I feel to-day. When I contrast r-ch men a Dawes, and the present New England Sjator3. except Edmunds, with Choate, and Webster, atod Phelps and George Evans of that day, I thank my God that the time will soon coma when I must no longer grieve over the facilis descensus averini of our American Senate.

O'Connor against the Boston and Lowell Railroad at Lawrence has resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff in $10,OOiJ, one-half of the amount sued for. The suit grew out of an accident which occurred Aucust 27, 1SH0. The plaintiff was the father of a child then between five and six years old. lie and his brother, three years older, were crossing a private way main tained by tue railroad for the Essex Company, and the younger boy while walking backward stepped between the rail and the planking of the roadway inside, and was unable to extricate his foot. At that moment the whistle of a train was heard within a few hundred f'jet, and out of sight around a curve, and it opeared from the evidence that the older broiher, finding himself unable to relieve his brother, ran down the track toward the train; but finding that he could not attract the attention of the train men to bis brother's condition, and that he must be run over, ran back to him, and telling him to lie down, pulled him outward and down, and held him there until the train had parsed. Both feet of the little fellow were cut off, or mangled so that amputation was necessary. Ibe theory of the defense was that ihe boy was not caught, but, while running across the track, fell and wa3 run over. But the testimony of the older brother was unshaken in every particular. t would bs dilMcult to match the nerve. thoughtfulnes, and disregard of self dis played by this boy, who at that time was less than nine years old.

He had plenty ot money, seemed to be enjoying himself, and was a ceneral favorite. So this rapid flicht rather surprised me 'Why this hurry?" I asked; "vou look as if you bad nothing to do but Lave a pleasant time, as if you could afford to gratify your every whim; why go you ru&n away;' "My dear fellow, he answered.

SECOHD EDIT10H WITH AlfliOIiMS. Volumes 3 and 3 of the INDIANA BEPOSTS have been out of print for many years, and many lawyers have been deprived of the benefit. In a large measure, of cases reported therein, on account of the scarcity and high price of the books, second hand. No apology, therefore, is deemed necessary for the appearance of a second edition of these volumes. This edition contains not onl all tha matter of the original cGcbvl edition, alao many additional features and improvement sanctioned by the present method and style reporting, such as catch -words, or running bead! Indicating the character of the holdings to whicl they are prefixed : additions to the syllsbus when the opinions teemed to Justify them; to all care without a eyllabus one Las teen prepared cm bodying the holding ; and where any case reported in said 8cond and Third Indiana has been cited, followed, explained, distinguished, criticised, modified, or overruled. In subsequent vo umes of fhe Indiana Reports, up to and including 7 Indiana, that fact has been noted at the close oi the paragraph of 3 llabus embodying the holding eo cited, followed, etc. These are some of the new features introduced. The labor of preparing the books fer preas, revlFlnR. annotating, tc-, was performed by a thoroughly competent person. W. W. Thornton, at present Assistant Attorney General of Indiana. The books, as reviwd, enlarged and annotated, will, we trust, commend themselves to the profession. ...... Price net yet determined, but will sot exceed 6.00 for Volume 3. and 5.H for Volume 3, or both Volumes for 10.00. INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL CO,
