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.
