Treasurer Cardozo:
It is universally conceded thal Ibis
lias been a' very dull session of thc
Legislature. Hut recently il bas been
enlivened somewhat by an effort to
convict State Treasurer Cardozo of
malfeasance'in ?llice, and bring about
his impeachment-. ' lu a report of a
committee appointed to find out what
bonds had been fended, under thc
funding act, &o.,'serious reductions
were made upon Mr. Cardozo. Un
\ Tuesday of 'this "Week he submitted* a
vindication of his oilicial conduct in
? answer to Hie charges made by Ibo
? committee. Mr. Cardozo closes in
' the following words:
"In submitting this reply, I say
distinctly, that I-'askmo favor, nor
any immunity from th? ?'?!I responsi
bility for my acts. 'lids investiga-!

strike down a public of rider' Who
stands in their way.

There is sometimes a complaint that
Northern men often meet with a cool
iceeplibh in thc South, but it is re
freshing to Ihnovf thal soflfo who come
to us db not find it diiiicult to estab
lish their1 business herc, and' secure
friends'arkl patrons. It is thc preach
ers and uch??l' teachers who are not
wanted herd, as' thc Southern people
prefer those interested in another
kind of business.
It seems that John Morrissey, for1
'whom ihc roughs of New York sc
dui ed thc title of " Hon." by sending
I Iii ul t? Congress, having found it
?grccablt' to pass his winters in Flor
ida, as he doeu his summers in Sara

A very elegant' and deserved'* testi- ^
monial was given last Saturday to cx>

united in a complimentary dinner, j
Hon. Charles W. Slack, thc vigorous!
editor of T*he Commonwealth', oponed
the speaking of the hour with a vb'ty \
happy eulogistic lindross. Mr. Claflin j
responded in appropriate towns, and
closed'hy hoping; upon' k?9 r&turir tb! 1
