ADOUt the most ridiculous apology that we
hare-seen for the bribe in the shape of 'grants of
land offered to the' teciple of Kansas by the English
Lecompton swindle, appeared in the Montrose Dem
dere last week. The firct is undeniable that the
bribe is offered, that time people of Kansas -are ten
dered lands worth five millions of dollars if they will
-vote for the Lecompton Constitution, which kinds
they are not to have if they tote agai nst that Con
stitution; 'but, says the Democrat, this is a silly ob
jetion, because the original Lecompton bill offered
a still larger bribe !
That is truly sensible—to apologize' for the offer
ing of a bribe by sbowing that a larger one had been
preciously offered. .
Wu suppose the Democrat considers this diminish
ing the amount of, the bribe; as' evidencepf honomy
'on the part of the administration. . The reduction of
bribery to the_winrirm figure apliears to be the
highest merit the Lecompton Democracy.

'Northern doughfacism has been firing cannon

rot, and other Free-State Kansas men now in Wash

majority. .

L M. HolibsietewlTtet the.Lanqaster Coe;
mat Sehocl, left the refejet end beautiful ge of
Millersville under rather Peculiar circumstances. The
session of the Nor nal School having recently closed, .
Hobbs had collected' some three or four i thousaud
dollars from the students in payment for bard kc.
He came to this city on that day, stabled hie horse
and wagon at one of our principal hotels, and sud
denly " left for parts Unknown I" Sundry bills in this
city, which include baker's, but Cher's, and storekeep
er's; remain unsettled. s•
This Hobbs made strong professions of eligion ;
always wore a sanctimonious expression of counter
nance, and looked for all the world . like edger, inno
cent; o&I, easy sout,in short, a -44 love of man."
Indeed, on several occasions we have heard. him
make long
praversfin. which the racal
yand degen
exec) of this world seemed to cane In a vast de4,
or ,regret. The villain and hypocrite have been act
ed by him to perfection.' Ile v has most effectually
" Stolen the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in."
He won, by his ehriatian deportment and oily man
nere, the confidence of a number of our citizens,who
would be•very glad to tee Hobbs atthe present tire.
They would, no doubt cheerfully, furnish him with I
"Ixnu-dint house," situated in the eastern part of the
city, and he wouldn't have the - privilege of acting as
keeper. 40ar good friends at Millersville should be
careful that no more such characters , be appointed
purveyors for the students connected' with the Nor
mal School; and it would not be idea if some
of lour churcheiwere to inquire into the matter' and
see whether any such " wolves in sheep's clothing"
are connected with their Socks. The cause of true
Christianity has already-suffered long .enough from

Massas. EDITORS: DEAR SIR :—The article you
coiled on snuff dipping amo the ladies of the
South, my friends In the North , ill probably think
needs additional teatimeny. T at article stated that
thimpractiee is gerierally preval nt among the inhab
itants of the pinerllills of th, Aitrerent Southern
States, and in Eastern Tennessee. Among what
castes of society Itfs most pretent, save in Tenn
esseeeip
and Ma' 566444, I- cannot 3 , ; but I assure your
readers that in. thelatter State is most prevalent
among the aristocracy . In He Mcjiy, where I lived
Staten
1
several yeais, I saw no snu f f di ing. But in West
Tennessee, at time I arriT there in 1842, the
practice Was just getting in Toque—probably one in
five then used it, now nineteen -twentieths. And
when snuff gives cut, tobacco 'hewing and smoking
serve in its stead. None, liotrever, but confirmed
topers will use the weed in the, p ce of gentle
men. They retire' to thmkitehen, or to the closet—
not to pray, but ttik chew arid soke. The effectanf
this habit upon the constitutiod are indescribable.—
Sallow complexions and strip necks , the result of
the habit, have ceased to have any restraining effect
upon even the Feud young maids themselves: And
as regards married' ladies, Drs. Peters and Moore
have informed me that in the fillage , of Bolivir .and
i
vicinity, many children were sill -bom, by. reason of
this bait. Numbers of poor bed-ridden creatures
are told by the physicians the4,,,f they will quit this
habit, their cure Will be certat ; but, like the rum
sot, they prefer death. ,
l
T t
his monster habit, like a ousand and one others
in that country, has grown ou ot,the peculiar insti
station ; (so I hove heard it said there.) As the
drudgery, wenches perfomil all the the penalty for
idleness is visited upon the w, rtes in the shape of
ennui and nervonsness. Everimeans imaginable is
4.
resorted to, to procure stimulants, for relief. Didlon
exchange with many Southe papers, you irouldsee '
frequent notices pt., deatha snuff.
-
The article -3.0 e copied w not sufficiently explicit
in explaining the modes of inuff dipping, Usually
- a stick is used aout the sizelof a pen-stock -- either
off a tough limb or a piece of soft hickory bark—
whittled round and the end nasbed by the teeth till
as fine as a paint brush, then wet and worked in the
•1
snuff bog fill about a teas . ful is loaded thereon,
they the mouth is opened vc wide so that 'none
may catch ou the lips, and t teeth are rubbed on
the outside and inside, then e brush- remains in a
while atationarr ! and is sue - ed. Spittoons are as
.
necessary for ladies there, for tobacco chewing
topers among the males. It as bemime proverbial
among the old inhabitants oq that country, that there
is now an enfeebled race of touths growing up, con
sequentuion this habit, thei feebleness having been, ,
,
to a great extent, transmieet . by birth.

for the. act is as transparent as window glass.

The Senate is. political! . hostile to Judge

plan, after the MA. exatdp eof the ostracism
of Douglas, Parris, ForneyAnd othera. by
Buchanan, to - "pay"off!! on e he' would. not

of punishing Judge' ilmot for. his political
opinions, although by so doing they vie ate&
' the spirit of our-Constitution and the ge ins
'of our free institutions. A cotempora sy
says:
"Our present State Constitution gives the
people of the several Judicial Districts the
right to choose their own Judgei. In Wil
mot's districts the people elected him by a
very large majority for that_ office.' The
followers of Buchanan, can't bear the idea of
the people electing their own officers and
making their own Jaws • and hence the Penn
sylvania Senatejias violated the rights of the
people of that Judicial district and offered an
insult to the people of the State. Thifiact is
on a par with the attempt to force the Le
compton Constitution on the people of Kan
sas. We shall be disappointed if both usur
pations be not rebuked by th; people."
The Senate did this. wrong, by Tarty
vote, under the influence of the wire work

has an unplernt sound to thepeoplein con

The Truth Plitinly Spoken.
We extract the following article, says the
Harrisburg Telegraph, from , the Lebanon
Courier, with the simple remark that every
word written in it is as true as Gospel :
''A. BAD SCHEME BEATEN.—The attempt
made by the State Senate, which-we men
tioned last week, to legislate Judge Wilmot
out of his Judicial office, was defeated in .the
House by a vote . of 62 to 32, over thirty hon
orable Democrats ref u sing to become a par
ty to so gross a wrong. - What was a re
markable fact in our State Legislature, the
House was the conservative' branch of the .
body. The Senate, under the lead of the
unscrupulous and no-hearted p\rtissn Bucka:
lew, was ready for any partisan radicalism
that might be brought before it. Fortunate
ly the House bad a more just sense of Right
and a better regard for iustice. In those
proceedings Buckatew has done himself -no

large salary of $2,00 each, and then got

Ire led off in the Lecompton fraud, and was
noloriously regarded as seeking through - that
service to the administration to obtain a for
eign appointment. His eye is continually
on the " main chance," and he seems ready
to do any dirty work to further his own in
terests.
7,gr Speaking of the bill to annihilate this
Judicial district, the Harrisburg Telegraph
says.:
In the discussion of this bill, in the Senate,
Mr. Myer, the immediate representative of
Judge Wilmot's district, acquitted himself in
a manner at once creditable to his heart and
his head, and we cannot permit this opportu
nity to pass without awarding to him a due
mede of praise. He is ever devoted to his
duties, watchful of the interests of his con
stituents, and energetic and able in their de
fence ; but on this especial occasion he excell
ed himself. lie showed that his 'whole heart
was in the subject; and his protest against the
meditated outrage, and his denunculion of
its attempted perpetrators, was at offs elo
quent and withering. We never before saw
him so happy and so able as he proved , him
self on this occasion. His constituents have
in him a Representative of whom they may
be justly proud. •

headed with staring capitals, an& to make
sure of our notice, marked with black lines:
"Tax REUEF BlLL.—Weleamed last night

porter. %
CANAL BOARD.—The_ dominant party in
the Senate defeated the bill for the abolish
merit of the Canal Board and State Engineer,
for whose continuance, after the period pro
vided in the bill, there can be no possible
justification. • Mr. Buckalew ingeniously ad
vocated the continuance of these officers until
the meeting of the next Legislature, both as
demanded by the interests of the State, and
for the settlement and adjustment of the bu
siness pertaining to the management of the
works.. , The State will, therefore,
have to
pay some $12,000 to keep up the „Canal
Board, and 3,000 for a State Engineer, whilst
the. Canals; over whose - direction they are to
preside, have been sold, and there can, posli

With his comrade, M. Bottellier, as Prefect of

an extent that, unless one saw it in actual op

Must be completely so. But the police now

adherents of the present 'dynasty, or profess '
political opinion-in any.degree _contrary - to
the prevailing ones. If a foreigner, theio
domiciliary visits are made at- his residende
with more exact punctuality. The Concierge
is required to give in every instance a , de
scription of the parties visiting at s the - house,
their names and abode's. . The bonnes:or fe
male domestics, are summoned before the
Judge de Prix, and questioned as to all that
happens under their eye ; .. and are informed
that unless they render a faithful account the
livre which every servant must have signed
once a year by the-pollee will be• denied

the office imposed upon, them - '
have quitted
their service and gone to the country. In
this country, however, the espionage is car
ried on with such rigorous exactness that ev

upon his neighbor. The Emperor, as if con-.

been of late rather: ostentatiously driving

witness for the Crown, who professed toliave
been well acquainted with the' notorious
Townsend, was , introduced into the: prison
er's cell attfiyugik the other. day. On his
entrance, he was accosted by a person sitting
on the bed, with, - ' Well, suppose you have
come to swear to \ me, like the rest of them r,
He replied, 'icome - now, . Bill, own
up
What's the use ? You know .you're Tpwn•
send,_ and I can swear to your being he.'—
Fancy his feelings when informed that the
person-he had been addressing, and offering
to swear to as Townsend, was no other than
Mr. Barker,. the prisoner's attorney."
