By carefully fostering the "meaner men for whom power is only a synonym for plunder," because, having abandoned principle.'for expediency, they could be added to party strength; by counselling harsh pleasures towards pecstrate citi? zens to gratify an unworthy vengeance; by refusing to listen to the voice of an UOpoTorished people, accepting the re? sult o/, a, trial ot >rms ,and asking to re? sume a condition of peace and subordi? nate^'to tbe , laws, our rulers have re? tarded, the material progress of all sections of the country and all classes of ite'eitizens. . . ,, As in, the hi\m?a body the soundness or decay of & limb will*in time 'extend to and correspondingly affect the wholo person, so must ^tho political body be touched and moved by the condition of its component parts.

" Air Old Mam's Mkmobies.?In Dec em- j bor, 1886, I met the celebrated Charles i Carroll, of Carrollton.

Independence." * 'These are inj said captain Partridge. ' 'And j replied Mr. Carroll, "I see the < of my country." He -was a little, . man, dressed in a brown surtoat, and in [.appearance to be quite active for a per son of his age. On our arrival at Wash? ington we were marobed to the White House and introduced to the President, John Qninoy Adams. Ha received us in the parlor, and .was very quiet and sedate, and no ode could have imagined that he would subsequently flash forth, in 1844, as the moat acrimonious mem-1 ber of the House of Representatives.r I We were next introduced to the Vice President, John C. Oalhoun. What a contrast! He came out to us on the street, walked along the line shaking hands, and asking the name of each cadet as he took his hand Ho was the most popular statesman with young men who ever lived. He visited Mount Vor non in company with many army and navy officers. Here I hoard General Samuel Smith, the leader of the famous Maryland line, deliver a speech, when standing on the tomb of Washington. The greatest orator that America baa pro? duced since Patrick Henry, was. his nephew, William Campbell Preston, of South Carolina. 1 heard him speak in the winter 'of 1837, on the "Michigan question," when he took the Senate by storm. But the most fascinating and delightful speaker I ever heard was the celebrated Robert Y. Hhyne, whose speech on Foote's resolution was a mas? ter-piece. General Jackson, the Presi? dent, wrote a letter of congratulation to him, stating that he intended to have his speech bound up with the works of Jef? ferson; and the merchants of Boston.bad it printed on satin, which they sent to him up'-a token of their esteem, for bi? triumph "over Webster. And yet one wirl hear even Southern men talk about Web? ster having worsted Hayne in "the great | debatel" The song called "Johnson's Wife of Louisiana,' which is a parody on Boy's Wife of Aldavalla," was written by Warren Ransom Davis. I once asked tho Vico-President, Wm. R. King, if there was any truth in the line: "The Inca's blood flows in her veins;" he re {>lied that it was merely fancy. It will >e remembered that Johnson was a Senator in Congress from Louisiana about the year 1854. This same Davis also wrote the book called the "Life of David Crockett," which was so popular thirty years ago. When Gen. Jackson, the President, issued his celebrated proclamation against the South Carolina j nulliflers, Davis made a speech, de- j nouncing and ridiculing him, saying, among other sarcastic remarks: "If the old gentleman must be amused, let us give him a te-to-tum." The remark en? raged Jackson, who said: "I will nuke a te-to-tum of bis d?d traitorous head." I once heard Gen. Robert Y. Hayne | say, in 1832, "that Jackson had recently written a letter to Calhonn?this was after their quarrel?and said that, as he was preparing facts for history, he would request him to answer the series of in? terrogatories enclosed with the letter. If any man foamed with rage," said Hayne, "it was Jackson when ho re? ceived Calhoun's reply. It was so scath? ing and contemptuous." By-the-way, two fools, Parton and Bancroft, have stated in their "Lives of Jackson," that he was a North Carolinian, when Jackson himself says in his proclamation that he was a native of. South Carolina. This statement will be found near the con? clusion of that celebrated document [New Orleans Bulletin: American LavjUbaTB ExPLoniRS. The Geographical Society of Paria have, dur? ing several years, awarded medals for Arctic discovery to Englishmen and Americans. .This year they honor with the Roquetto prize?a gold medal-the late Captain Hall, of the Polaris. The same society awarded gold medals to American laureate explorers, 1858 to Dr. E. K. Kane, of the second Grinnell oxpo dition, and 1889 to Dr. I. I. Hayes for his famous boat journey in the frozen fields of tho North. In announcing tho laureate honors to Captain Hall, A. V. Maite Brun, Vice-President of the Geo-1 graphical Society of Paris, and sou of | the illustrious geographer and encyclo? pedist, who inherits his father's ability and zeal in the oncouragement of all worthy explorers, says: "I have the pleasure to tell you that this year wo shall award a medal to Captain C. F. Hall, for his excellent explorations made in the Polaris. The courageous explorer, it is true, Is no more; but this is nO reason that we should forget him. The medal will be sent to his family, as was the case when we sent a medal awarded to Dr. Kane." At Galveston, Texas, on Saturday last, ground was broken for the construction of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Bail road, which will join the International and Great Northern Road at Houston, and reach, by a series of connections, some of which remain to be built, far up into the South-western country to? wards the Pacific slope. This project is considered' of great importance to Gal? veston, as it "connects Galveston with the railway system of Texas and the continent, as the Galveston News en? thusiastically puts it The chief city of Texas has been growing at a better rate than-any other in the South-west siheo the war ended, and the enterprise which it has shown is a guarantee that the con? templated new road will be pushed for? ward into completion.
