Three weeks now reutaiu of the prosent Con

The Government, involving forty mitlions of dol
lars expenditure- Only one of the Approprra
tion bills, to supply deficiencies, has passed the
House, and not yet «li*po*erl of by tbo
Senate. After the disgraceful waste or days, the
most important business is now to bo crowded
into tbo few remaining hours of the session ; mil

and impropor item* slipped in amid the noise, con
fusion, and dmnkenneu of tho concluding scenes.
A deliberative aeeembly! I think they cull it. Ha I

Several days were spent last week m trying to
pass a bill to establish a Branch Mint in New
York and a Branch Mint and Assayer's office in
San Francisco. The fight was pretty much be
tween Philadelphia and New York. Tbo former
feared that, once put a crumb of a mint into tho
month of New York, and finally she would swal
low up tho Mint itself at Philadelphia. The
measure wasdefeatod.
The French Spoliation bill is lying on the Speak

it wa* sent to ihe Senate. It* chauce for passage

even then, it would b*»e to take it* place on the

Last three days, to pas* the Senate hill to establish
a Board of Accounts, to settle private claims.
Titis measure is in jeopardy. Although, it may
pass, if at all, ia aa amended form.
The bill to reduce and modify tbo rates of post
age, is hi the Senate, unacted upon, as aro mauy
other bills of importance.
The fact is, the General Appropriation bills, for
tbo support of Government, wiil occupy nearly
the remainder of the preseut Congress; and, in
stead nf being time fur consideration of other
business, there ia fear eutertaiued that some o!
the appropriation bills may be lost fur waut of

Who woold have believed it, that ibis case, which
we deemed of so mucb importance os not to ed

the dignity and sovereignty of a Slate, would
have been tho* lightly disposed of! What, a

A Lear from History,
When Gen. Cass was notified of his nomination
by tlie Baltimore Convention iu 1848, be wrote
a letter of acceptance, aud iu that letter there
was the following paragraph;
My immediate predecessor in tho nominalioo
hy the Democratic party announces his determi
nation not to be a candidate for re-election. Co-
iucidiug with hint iu bia view* so well expressed
and so faithfully carried onl. I teg leave to say
that no circumstance can possibly arise which would
induce me again to permit my name to be bronght
forward in connection with the Chief Magistracy of
our Country. My inclination and my seuse of du
ty equally dictate this course.”

explicit aud unqualified, bnt it now appear* like

“As Object of Contehtt I"—Mr*. Prewit, the

auuexed witty story of n Judge Claiborne of the

But to Mrs. Prewitt'* account ;
Judge D. Claiborne, under the old cocked hat and
enormous prerogative of parish judge, swayed the
sceptre uf North Western Lnuisiaua with a potenti
ality and vigor hardly equalled at the preseut day
by the czar of Russia. Among the multifarious
duties aud powers ofthe parish judge was that of
auctioneer. He sold all the property of success
ion in his parish. It happened ou one occasion, in
selling out the property of n deceased grocer, that
an unruly parishioner disturbed the order of the
proceedings. The judge fined him fifty dollars
and sent him to jail for contempt of conrt. An
application was made to him by an attorney tu re
mit the fitte and release tbe prisoner, on the
ground that it whs not contempt orcourt. aa the
judgo when fulfilling the duties of auctioneer, wits
