SAME WAY !!! i• We come now tathe manner in which title money is accounted for. Charles rou ser swears that he' received 75 cents more than his 'receipt upon thicheck rolls calls for. A man by- the name of Scott, one or two dollars alsit. Bat the principal witness on the part of Mr.Power,isaMr. Morgan, who appears uponthecheek roll as clerk and fore mon. He swears that the money was -put I in his hands; . (WHICH WAS• A DIRECT VIOLATION OF LAW) that he kept it in the collector's safe and carried the keg.; that when he had_ paid . out the; first plickage of money,lamountyng to $4OOO, 'there - were three hundred diat he could not account for that there were a great many transient boat men and emigrants at the work, who worked from two to live days, would draw from two to five dollars, according to the number of days they had worked, perhaps leaving a I . balance of so 25 or cents in his ha ds, and 1 leave without signing the check roll : that he had paid out some $2OOO on this kind of 1 accounts ; that he had paid out for materialS,l contingent and mailing expenses, $lOOO : that when he came to settle up his accounts finally, there were: between five and - six hun dred dollars short, which. together with the foregoing, were placed upon the check rolls , as days work. I have something to say respecting this testimony. Ile first swears to the check rolls—that they were all right : that these men worked so many days and were due so much money, when he knew it was false.— In his testimony before the commissioner, as printed in the Joutnal, he swears again that they are right; when the commonwealth proved by near two hundred witnesses that they were false, and he in the body of his testimony admits their4alsity, by endeavor ing to make up the discrepancy, between the testimony and the amount upon the check rolls. J. V. Criswell had tWo horses Employed at the work for which he received s7B. These were used as express horses. David C. Scott - (who upon this occasion • signed himself David Scott,) appears upon the check rolls as a foreman. He states that part of his time he was employed travelling. He received 855,50, at the rate of $1;20 per day for his services. Gen. Clover was also ,r, general runner—" going at times night and (lay." Ile made out a bill of his expenses And was allowed them by the Auditor Gen- I eral. These sums are, over and above the I amount purported to have been paid out bv Morgan for travelling expenses, &e. It was important, in order to strengthen the testimony of Morgan,- that some ef'thesa boatmen and emigrants should have heen produced—none of them were—none of them can be. The aqueduet was twenty-seven days in being re-built. James Morgan appears upon the clitck rolls as having drawn $l3O for his expenses. James Morgan second 852. J. A. Morgan 842. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Morgan has since presented to supervisor Ulam a hill of over 880, for services alleged to be done at there -building of this aqueduct, which Mr. Ulam promptly refused, to pay.— One thing mote, and I dismiss Morgan.— The Chair Mad of the investigating commit-1 tee, issued a subpoena for .Mr. Morgan, in order to have his testimony taken before the committee. The sergeant-at-arms called at his house in Cambria county. He was told ' that he had started that , day for Harrisburg ; tint upon inquiry it was found that he had , gone west. Hi did not return until about ! the adjournment of the Legislature. Why this absenting himself from home thus sud- ; denly ? Why pretend to be going to liar: is- 1 burg,when lie (truceeded in a coctrary direr lion ? 11 these transactions were tair and 1 honorable, why not appear before the cone i inittee? : Was his testimony not yet ready?! I come now to the surplus, material re-1 maining after the aqueduct was finished. lz 1 was disposed of, but Mr. Power, iu settling his accounts, rendered no account of it.— THERE WAS, NOTHING UPON THE RECORD TO SHOW TO WHOM OR :FOR WHAT •IT HAD BEEN SOLD.- 1 THE AUDITOR GENERAL KNEW NO THING ABOUT IT. Mr. Adam Holliday, in Isis last testimony before the committee, says : " There was , timber enough:left to build three more ac-' queducts. Some rafts had not a stick taken 1 out of them, others had a few pieces taken i out." Mr. Ford also says: "1 stiort.nl THINK AT A MODERATE CALCULATION TIIE.P.F. WAS ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FEET i OF TIMBER BROLTGOT TO Tae AQUT:pucT I WHICH WAS NOT USED IN ITS CON-1 STRUCTION. ABOUT FIFTV THOU- , SAND FEET REMAINED IN RAFTS! WITHOUT BEING DISTURBED." This! timber was disposed of in the following manner, as appears by testimony as taken , before the commissioner : 'A. W. Lane got 610 feet at 6 cents per foot, 811 20. Win. R. Garver 1100 feet of, plank, scantling &e.. for qualifying Morgan to the check rolls and a few brick he furnish ed. \Vnm. M. Souther 877 worth besides a creek raft at something near $7ll m o re. ri a . , yid Leeds got near one hundred logs, also two creek rafts. Sohn Kerns got two Tots of ' I timber, one or pay for taking out old iron, ! 'the other in pay for hoarding—he kept a boarding house. In paving off the hands, they gave him timber in lieu of it. ' Peter , Olam got . $lO 50 worth. There was a lot of this timber left on Hare's island, above Pittsburg. Mr. Wood in his testimony esti mates it at 4000 l'ect. Anthony Marvin says i he should not have though: it worth Si 00. But Mr. Ford, an old lumberman, who has run the river .ever sincalBo6, who savPlie examined it, estitnates it at 10,000 feet lineal. which at 8.i420 1 ,ts per foot would make it worth IWO. This, Gen. Clover, the collector at Pitts burg, A PUBLIC OFFICER, bought for $2OO ' and afterwards gave $.lO extra. , \Veen the timber was laying at the acqueduct, Clover says in his testimony, that "Abner Lane pro posed to me to join him in buying the bal ance of the timber after the aqueduct was finished. . I told him I was in the employ' of the commonwealth. - and I did not think it right to go into such a speculation. It seems from the testimony of 'Geo. Clo ver, that Mr. Power settled part of his ac counts with him, by what authority I am at a loss to determine. 1 CAN FIND NO LAW NO PRECEDENT FOR SUCH A COURSE; Had the part settled by the General been settled liv the Auditor General, and placed upon tile, as , the law requires, it would have saved the commonwealth the trouble and ex pense of re-settling this part of them. The balance of the timber was given in charge to John A. Steele and John V. Criss well,, to run it and to return the proceeds to Mr. Power. They took it to Cincinnati and sold it to Bailey, Longstaff & Co. Mr. Ma lone,'one of' the firm, appeared before the oritninissioner and testified that they had bought of Steele and Criswell in 1.848, 88,- 350 cubic feet of timber at six cents per foot, amounting to $5,752 75,- also the cables upon , the rafts at $l5, and that they gave 8501) in 1 hand'and notes for the balance to be paid',- afterwards. Now it was known that this, timber had been sold, but there was nothing in relation to it to be found , among the ac counts of Mr. Power, as settled by the Audi tor Generril, After the investigation - had , been commenced. General Clover appeared before the Comeriittee and gave an account of two notes deposited in . bank, amounting to , $2,744 70 i leaving a balance of $3,032 99 unaccounted for, to which if we add the $2OO paid "by . Clover, makes:s3,232 99, Crisswell appeared before the Committee ; seemed to know nothing definitely about it; said that Steels and himself ran it to Cincin nati—sold it to Bailey, Longstaff az Co. at 6 cents per foot—got 5500 in cash—gave twp notes to Clover—balance went to pay expen ses. Three thousand two hundred and thirty- two dollars and ninety-nine cents to run 88,- 350 feet of timber 529 miles!! - It did not Cost 8500', ' . . . I come now to the old iron. • There was a large quantity of old iron in the aqueduct.-- It was scattered along the river. The prin.' cipal part of it was collected by the State hands and delivered at Graff and I,indsay Is warehouse., This gen. Clover purchased frottellr.;- Power at one cent per pound. Mr. Morehead 'of Freeport. offered two and a half cents for 8 large quantity of it, but was asked three cents; bought a small quantity at this price. In the language of the Gen eral.

THE ANCIENT SCANDINAVIANS. In no single point is the moral superiority of the ancient 15.7orthmen over the super-re fined Greeks and Romans more evident than in woman's position among them. The Scandinavian's wife was his .helpmate in every true sense ofthe word. Chastity, mod esty, good sense, 'digniiy, firmness, and en ' ergy, were dowries more highly prized than riches or beauty. Though; the superintend ing of the in-door domestics was a wife's more especial duty, yet , she was . freely id= !Owed to. share thi. counsels of her husband on matters relating to his welfare and honor. Indeed, examples are not wanting of even the redoubtable northern. Katemper having been subjected topetticoat rule. = The warlike character of the people was in a remarkable degree developed in the frailer sex. Valor and martial renown were from the earliest times prized by the Scandi navian maidens above all other manly vir tue. They would not look at a "stay, et home" as they called him who did not go out on Viking expeditions in search of fame and riches. Indeed, it frequently occurred that a woman put forward the cowardice of her husband as a plea tin' divorce. Whatever influence, however, the woman exercised in matters not :Strictly domestic, was solely owing to her individual good qualities. Legally, the wife's rule was re stricted to the "key government," the insig nia of which is a bunch of keys delivered to her by her husband on die first day she entered his house ; in all other matters she was by law subjected entirely to him. She could nut sell . or buy, choose .a" husband tor her daughter, or even visit her relations without her liuhanirs permission ; and he could chastise her at his pleasure. Among ; a comparatiyely 'rude people, many individ uals must have abused this power ; yet the manly character of the Northmen, which made them consider every outrage upon a weak or defenceless person dishonorable. to gether with the high-toned morality of the women, must have operated as a check. OPPOSITION TO TOON° MEN. Everybody krows how common it is for old rand middle-aged men to try to keep i_yriurig men from rising in the world, by sneers at the youthfulness or the aspirant-- I! . ~a s in the case of Walpole, whose taunts a.ainst Pitt so signally failed to depress .the latter, served but to damn their author to everlasting tame." No young man of talents but has had enemies such as these to - .en. counter—men who seem to take a. fiendish delight and cherish a malicious pleasure in seeking to depress everything like genuine enthusiasm or the buoyant ambition of the bright boy, or the brilliant young man.— This arises half front-their sheer ignorance of the nature and temperament of genius. When the climber upward has gained his place among peers, then it is that these miserrble flatterers cringe and fawn around him as basely as they formerly maligned and ridiculed hint ; and would fain crowd out of sight his old friends and staunch ad herents. In his green age and budding sea son the youth of genius craves and requires sympathy. It is with hint egtecially, (and in a measure with all men) an intellectual want as evident as the coarsest necessary elements of existence. CrN\IN( OY.TEES.—That even oys ters have‘'something akin to reason in their composition, would appear from the follow= intlact related on the authority of an English paper :—By a treaty made between England and,France in IS3S, it was agreed that a cer tain part of the ocean should be exempted from the encroachments of the oystermen of both nations. This part was marked out, ' and the treaty strictly kept until lately, when it was broken under the follow . ing circurn stances. A multitude of cunning oysters. taking advantage of this neutrafigronnil have made their bed exactly within Its borders ; and, 'as they are of excellent quality. the temptation is too strong for the fishermen on both sides. They are continually encroach in on each others bounds, and a regular "oyster war" has been the result. • " [D — PcnstvcaaNcE.—The Chinese . have the best- illustration of the principle we, have ever seen. One of their countrymen who had been making strenuous efforts to acquire literary information, discouraged by difficul ties, at last gave up his book in despair. As he, returned to manual employment he saw a woman rubbing a crowbar - oil. a stone; on inquiring the reason, she replied-that she was in. want of a needle, and thought she would rub down the crowbar tig she got it small enough. The patience of the'aged fe male provoked him to make-another trial. and he succeeded in obtaining the rank of one of the first three in the empire: rj" PRESAIIINO TO COMPOSE. — Some men have been accustomed to prepare themselves } for thinking and writing by a bodily or a 'mental stimulus. Dr. Johnson used to take ardent spirits : hut he prudently abandoned this practice. Sheridan accustomed himself to strong tea and brandy, before he delivered a speech. Newton,llobbes, and many others smoked. Cicero prepared himself for composing by reading some of the tireeksiNiets. Milton did the.same. Gay was accustomed to read some or the most poetical passages of scripture., o °. INTELLIGIMLITY. — It would be well both for the public and the writers them, selves, if some authors would adopt Lord. Falkland's method before publishing his works, who, when he doubted whether a word was perfectly intelligible or got, used to consult one of his lady's chambermaids, (not the waiting woman, because it was pos sible she might not be conversant in roman ces.) and by her judgement was guided whether to receive or reject it, Swift ,pur sued, it is said, a like method of reading his t works to the unlearned. irr FINE dressing and dexterous dancing. remarks a shrelVd observe'''. when not '"sub sidiary to the effect of personal beauty and character, are monstrous.
