Senator Wade and Northern Baok bone. That lively little sheet the Mac-a-Cheek Press, speakiug of the absurd practice of stiff ening Northern Cack-bone, says : Senator Wade inaugurated this absurd practice of setting up Northern backbone. A short time after taking his place in the Senate, he was grossly attacked by a Senator from a slave State. Wade retorted in his peculiar style. The next day a gentleman called on the Senator from Ohio, asked the usual ques tion touching his acknowledgment of the code. " I am here " he responded, "in a double capacity. I represent the State of Ohio, and I represent Ben Wade. Asa Senator, I am opposed to duelling. As Ben Wade, I recog tii/.e the code." *" My frieud feels aggrieved," said the gen tleman, " at what you said in the Senate yes terday, and will ask for &o apology or satis faction." " I was 90ewhat embarrassed," continued Senator Wade, "by my position yesterday,as I have some respect for the Chamber. I now take this apportunity to say what I then thought, and you will, if you please, repeat it. Your friend is a foul-mouthed old blackguard." " Certainly, Senator Wade, you do not wish me to convey su;_h a message as that ?" " Most undoubtedly I do ; and I will tell you for your own benefit, this friend of yours will never notice it. I will not be asked for cither retraction, explanation, or a fight." This proved to be true. No further notice was taken of the affair. But since that Sena tor Wade has been treated with distinguished consideration. The Presidency and the House. As there is some probability that the choice of the next President of the United States, may devolve upon the present House of Rep resentatives, we subjoiu a statement of its po litical caste by States. It will be borne in mind that in choosing a President, each State casts one vote. The present House is divided polit ically as follows : Democratic. —Alabama, Arkansas, Califor nia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louis iana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia—l 4. B* Republican. —Connecticut, Indiana, lowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Ilampshire.Xew Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wis consin—ls. Equally Divided. —Kentucky, Marylaud and North Caroliua—3. American. —Tennessee—l. It requires seventeen votes to effect a choice, and as neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a sufficient number, the four last named States will, of course, hold " the balauce of power." Should the House fail to elect a President before the 4th of March, that duty will then in effect devolve upon the Senate, which has the election of a Vice Pres ident, who, under the provisions of the Con stitution, becomes President of the United States. The Senate is composed of a majority of Democrats. Rn.OKK.-At the last Broome circuit held at Binghamton recently, Edward 11. ltuloff was discharged from all the indictments pending against him in this State. It is well knowu tliat for several months this man has been an inmate of our County Jail, as it was considered unsafe to leave him in Tompkins county, the good people of that locality having given un mistakable evidence of a desire to have his neck stretched without the formality of a trial by the regularly constituted authorities. No sooner had the news been brought that he was discharged, than the Sheriff of War ren county, Pa , made his appearance to the Sheriff of this county, armed with a requisi tion from Governor Morgan, commanding RalufTs delivery into the custody of the Penn sylvania official. lie is now on his way to Warren county to answer to an indictment for burglary and larceny, said to have been com mitted by him during the time he was at lib erty, after breaking jail iu Tompkins county Ruloff seemed pleased with the termination of his case upon the charge of the murder of his wife, and said that lie was once more a free man, as there was no foundation to this new charge and that he would have no d fficulty in proving his innocence.— Auburn Union. THE MONTHI.Y LAW REfOHtEß.— With the May number, now nearly ready, this long es tablished and valuable periodical changes edi tor and publishers. Hon. Geo. P. Sanger as sumes the editorial charge of it, and Messrs. Walker, Wise A Co., of Boston, its publica tion. The well known character of the Re porter, and its value to legal profession, uud hardly less to the merchant—from its frequent reports of important decisions in mercantile cases —should secure for it an increased pat ranage. In the hands of its new publishers we shall expect greater promptness in its ap pearance, thereby enhancing its value to sub scribers. Burning Fluid explosions are not gen erally caused by contact of the flame with the tluid itself, but with a gas that is always es caping from the fluid when open to the air. People not understanding this fact, think they may safely fill lighted lamps if they do not al low the flame to touch the fluid itself ; but the invisible gas arises, touches the flame, the lamp explodes, and the consequences are sad, perhaps fatal. Never bring a lighted lamp within a Foot at the nearest, of open fluid. A much surer and better method of avoiding these dangerous and often fatal explosions is, never to bring the fluid within a mile of your house. BALLOON ASCENSION ATBINGHASITON. —Prof. BROOKS made his ascension from Binghamton, in his balloon " Comet " ou Saturday after noon. The Republican states that he started about half past 2 o'clock, and the balloon shot rapidly up, and floated away in a north-westerly direction. Not more than two miuutes elapsed before be WEIS a mere speck in the horiEOD, and in four minutes more the balloouand Pro fessor dodged behind a cloud and were no more seen by the thousands of spectators who wit nessed the assention. Where he landed was not ascertained at Binghamton up to late Sun day evening. FOR M'LEAN. —The Christian Advocate, the organ of the Methodist Church at the North, comes out strongly in favor of Hon. JOHN M'LEAN as a candidate for the Presidency. w&" The Republicans of Pottsville testified their joy over the passage of the new Tariff Bill by the House of Representatives, by firing a salute of one hundred guns in honor of the event.
