The result was w orthy or the Mabi vel lian spirts m ho have so far successfuhr managed to make tte people of the up country believe tha, they were doing a Christian dity by swellig all they owned of Green ville stock for ten cents on the dollar. They threw a large tub to the whale. They made aeveral individtial believe that there was a vast amount of latent wealth in the property of the State. which, could it be possessed, would add largely to their wor'ldly pos, sesnions, So they made a nice arrange ment, very secret, you know, in which they said to senators Rtihaigge, Taiggi and BRiub tayle, "You tickle me and I'll tickle you." The process com menced ; a baby Bill was born, and they christened it "A Bill for a Sinking Fnd and the Management of the anme." The little hantling in its swaddling clothes looked innocent enough. It only provided that, for the purpose of paying the present and further indebtedness of the State, the Govenor, Comptroller-General and At. torney-General should be constituted "the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund," with power to receive and man age the icomes set apart te such fitnd. It also made it. he ditty of said Com. misstine to sell and convoy all the real or persmial property of the Site not. devoted to edicational or chartable purposeis, it eh i iei and upon such terms as Lhey might, doetmi ioit advanita. geon. Well, the Bill came ip to day as a special order, antd Leslie stood forth as chai)rrone. The iiterest he manifested in its welfare wac wonderfuX. The Laid Commiseionm was no where in coin. parisoti.

It was apparemn tht~ thea Senate didn't mean to allow three ou four imen to hold the bag that promised to cateh so much. Leslie cl'arged it home, that the Senate didn't, have brains enough to see the meritsi of the Bill.

Prentic', for many years the editor of the Lo:isvillle Journal, with whI.l- his name is almost identifivd. Mr. Prentice was a native of ConI)ecticr, anid was born at Pres taio, ini 1804. He was a graduate of 1 1823 at Brown University, and resided for a time in Hartford, where he 'vas associated with Whittier in the conduct of a litesary weekly. In 1931 lie removed to Louisville. where lie has ever sinco resided. As a journalii-t lie was brilliant, easy rapid, but uisparing in controversy and reckless of the deN concies of the press. Personally in. trepid, ho passed through many of the hand to innd fights with pistol and knifc that are of so freqent occurrence in the Westf, ivithout damage to his reputation with his compeers. As a pont, he was distingnished by great sparkle and ten. dernes', and some of his verses have been embodied in the selections of the t best English poetry of the age. Of I thse, perhaps, "The Closing Year" is his best performance. With some weaknesses Mr. Prentice combined many excellencie's of character. 1lis iling iealth has long prepared the pubbeo minij for the int.tlligence of his leath, which will be received every where with regret. Nothing in Congrea's attracts so much attention as the Dawes and Butler controvesy. General Butler is the ac. pepted champion of the Administration in its defence from the sharp and vig ,r. otis attack of Mr. Dawos. As Cuiair. inait of the Committne of A ppropra. I tions or a sort of Chancellor of the FIxcheqiier, NIr. Dawes has arraigned I the Grant ,A.dministration on the chiarge r of profligacy of estiia:es and appropria. tions. li. hain s everal lucid sipeeches I presented his arrav of facia and figures, upon which lie bases his allegationls Ile declines any further speaking on thet subject, having placed his views Illy before the public, and submnliting Ih'e same to public judgment. The Dem - . eratic members take' care to give Mr Dawes' speelies a wide circulation. The President has himself expressed some concern as to Mr. Dawes' state menits, and has suggested some erg!.. ments in reply to them. The Adaii. istration ad the entire Republican party seen to be shaken by the unex-, pected nasanl fr6rn Mr. Diwes. Mr. Voorhees, the (41 'queint Demo-a eratic member from Indiania, has takeni part in this debate for the purpose of c advocating the policy of paying the five. twenties in greenbacks. He shaws, whia. overy one knew before, that the bIn I holders-here and abroad - obtained it large. portion of the bonds when green backs were from forty to a hundr.d percent. below par. if they are paid in legal tanders at only twenty ono per cent. helow par, they will st.ll reap mnch hontefit from the investment, and three years hence greenbacks will probably be at par or preferable to gold. Th'e whole financial avstem of tIhe con,,try, public debt and all, will be exposed io'a cudden collapse if public confid'enee shall ht lost, in the wisdom. integrity and stric. economy of the Repiblican -A d min. istration an? of Congress. Of this danger Mr. DaweR warns them in due tune.--Wash. Cor. Char. Courier. By the new Constitntion'of the State it is prescribed, by Sectioni 3 of Artiele .4, that. here shall be eleoted by the Legislature a Chief Justice for six years, and two Associate Justices, one of whiom shall hold offige for foatr years. and one two years ; and that the Legit. lature, bys aviuc aoce vse, shayldd, termrine ekik of the Asycget Justides thus electe~d shon~d" hell fo fonnd which two year's.
