Sating at the Spiggot and Wasting at the Hung Hole, The democratic papers are felicitating j the taxpayers on Gov. lligl. r's suggestion j to pav oil the six per cent, bonus by a i loan of live per cent., and talk as it the | suggestion had already saved the State j $50,000 per annum. 1 los suggt stion is j not a new one, and even if it was, it would he quite as well not to count chickens he fore tiity are hatched. In the meantime, as our editorial brethren of the democratic school are so good at figures, we should like some of them to solve the following ! problem, viz : It Gov. lligler saves $50,. 000 a year in one item and borrows S'SSO,- 000 for another, what will the State debt be at the end of ills term ? Interview of the Holt. John >l. ftotis with General Scott, The Han. John M. llotts, a delegate from Virginia to the \\ iiig National Convention, has written a letter to the Richmond Whig, dated Washington, May .'hi, in which be thus speaks of an interview he had that morning with Gen. Scott it l , relation to his publicly " defining his position" on the compromise : " 1 had a very long, free and fill! interchange ! of views with him, and 1 found his po-ilion to j ti precisely this in reference to his writing : he is differently advised by friends N'orth and : South (whose counsels are entitled to con-ider atinn) to write, and not to write; a large ma jority, including many from the South, urging ' liirn to remain silent. This condition of things embarrasses him r.ot a little, as his individual • preference would be to publish his views at large, while he does not fee! himself at liberty, j in lus present position, to take the bit between his teeth, in disregard of the advice of much the larger portion of ius friends Irora both sec tions of the country, if be writes, he obliges a small, and perhaps offends a iarge number of ' those whose counsels lie ought to listen to; j while if he remains passive, he gives no partic ular cause of offence to either. Gen. Scott occupies no doubtful or equivocal position on the compromise, nor does he desire to do so ; and if he did, 1 would not support him, even if nominated, lib views are freely ; . expressed to every man who approaches him, no matter to what party or section he may be long. He i> accessible to every respectable man t in the country, who chooses to approach him, I ; and he has never hesitated to say that he is in favor of the compromise measures in all their part', and opposed to any disturbance, agitation ! or alteration of the fugitive slave law : and be ; enjoins confidence and secresy on no man to whom he makes this communication. Under the circumstances mentioned, he has j come to the conclusion (and 1 incline to think : 1 wisely) that the true course for him to pursue is | to publish nothing, unless lie be the nominee ; j w hen, if the convention shall adopt a cour-c that ! will make hi?, acceptance necessary, or other- 1 wise afford hini the opportunity, he will speak ' out freely and fully, and this would place him, in n J _" opinion, in a more elevated position than if he were to permit himself now to be bullied into writii.g to receive the nomination." The: U' L here brought out by southern j rnon that Gen. Scott is an open advocate 1 of the compromise measures, will proba- I bly throw the Pennsylvania locofiicos into ! fits, as their only hope of success is based i on the supposition that thev can induce the | , people of this State U; believe that Gen. ! 1 Scott is a mum candidate. That game ' fc> : s will be as effectually knocked on the head as were thousands o! Mexican greasers at C'erro Gordo, Chepnltepec, Ate. i ;i ! a ***** " TJie Affair at ( oiuiubia. Commissioners have been appointed hv , the Stall? of Maryland to take testimony 1 , in relation to the colored man killed by Uidgley at Columbia a few weeks ago. j 'l'he evidence given before the coroner's in > - 1 quest has created a general belief that the 1 N affair was an uncalled for and unprovoked ' 1 murder ; hut for the sake of Ridgely we could ahu.j>t hope that the Maryland com t jnissioners can produce some justification i lor the act. Gov. Ifiglcr, who did not j hesitate to impute neglect to Gov. John- | ston in the Gorsuch affair, has thus far neither by word nor deed done aught to- I •wards " vindicating the law," and the up- ' roarious canal patriots, who in the last election campaign turned up the whites of l their eyes in hypocritical horror because Gov. Johnston did not descend to die da- ' ties of a constable, and even went .so far j ns to charge blood on his hands, have now j not a word to say in condemnation of the , " sage of Clearfield"—no crocodile tears , for the destitute widow and orphan chil dren—and apparently no regret that such a deed w ..s done. Truly, there is a won- | derful difference between a candidate and i the elected officer. ; Our neighbor of the Democrat is j an ardent friend of the fugitive slave law, and equally warm for Gen. Cass. 1 lie fugitive law he evidently considers as the leading question of the day, and yet on ils passage in the Senate, Gen. Cass did not rote for it ! Now. if the measure is so important, and Gen. C. such a very proper ; person to support it, can our neighbor give a good reason why his name is not found among those who passed it ? The Uncertainties ol" JLavv. The "glorious uncertainty" connected with legal proceedings is well illustrated in the annexed paragraph, which we find among the records of Court Doings JII Lancaster county : " VVm. Muirheud vs. Wm. Kirkpatfick. Sum ; mons in debt on promissory note. Tliis case was tried in the District Court of this county, in December, 131'2, at which time a verdict was i rendered for the defendant. It was then taken to the Supreme Court, and the judgement re versed and a venire de now ordered. It was tried again in 1344, and verdict rendered for defen dant. This judgement was reversed in May, 1346, by the Supreme Court. In ]C4 S it was again tried, and verdict rendered for defendant; | a motion was made and a new trial granted, ft was again tried in 1350, when a verdict was rendered for the plaintiff for $276 2- 1 . ft was | again carried to the Supreme Court, and the judgement reversed, and a venire de novo award ed—and now it conies here and is tried the fifth ! time.

The lien or, says the Blair County Whig, couht not have hoen bestowed on one more deserving, although there were other Senators equally meritorious. His faithful and constant ad herence to the tenets of the W big party, his gentlemanly and courteous deportment to his fellows, and his sterling worth as a man, all render him worthy of the high position.- Long will we remember, and with the highest, appreciatioii, the many hours of delightful enjoyment we have passed with him.
