Wrong Quotations.
The following letter requires no ietroduc
tlor, and properly corrects a misquotation
which Is very general :
Ms. EDITOR : Will you please inform COQ if I
lump been right in always supposing Addison
wrote the tragedy of " Calor I have seen the
familiar line,
"The post of, honor is a private station,"
No often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, that one
might think, by the confident assuranoe with which
the quotation Is heralded forth, that the author of
the't Declaration of Independence" (honor enough
for him) had some interest in common with that
dramatic composition by the author of the Spec.
tatot."
In almost a doyen papers and periodloals, within
the but twelvemonth, have I seen this oft-misquoted
and misapplied passage, and, while observing it In
the 'name Journal of the 24th instant, still
robed of a'.l its pith and value by the absonoe of
the previous qaallfying line, I could not withhold
those few ink•dropa of Inquiry and complaint.
That the post of honor le oafs/ to be found in a pd•
veto station, ii not true, end when Joseph Addieon
peened the lines, he must have thought so himself,
or they never would have been given thus:

This, we presume, will settle the question of
authorship for ever. In the Home Journal, as
mentioned by our correspondent, the last line
alone is given, as a motto to some stanzas,
entitled "The Retired Politician," con
cluding thus
Moat esteemed above all men
Is the private citizen,
the iv one,)
For his talents he devote■
To his family!—He quotes
Jitirrensis.
The aphorism, "the woman who delibe.
rates is lost," has generally been attributed to
the famous Duo de Rochefeitcauld, who put a
great deal of worldly wisdom into sententious
expression. It has something of the ring of
his thought and language. But it really occurs
in "Cate," Act Iy.,‘Scene 1., and is sup
posed.to be uttered by Marcia, a young lady of
considerable frozen propriety, the daughter ot
Cato. She nays :
" When love once pleads admission to our hearts,
fa spite dell the virtue we can boast,/
The omen who daiLwatts is lost."
Talking of quotations wrongly ailiaied, we
mays mention the well-known expression,
ft masterly inactivity," worthy of the political
'shrewdness of Talleyrand, which is generally
attributed to John C. Calhoun. The expres
sion, we believe, was first used by the late Nir
James Mackintosh, the constitutional , lawyer
who replied to Burke's attack on the French
Revolution, and soon after made, as a lawyer,
the memorable defence of Peltier, prosecuted
for.a libel upon Napoleon Bonaparte, Fist
'Consul, in yr:itch ho attacked the prosecutor
even more alba ively than 31. Peltier had done.
The liberal views expressed in Mackin
tosh's cf Vendicim °Alm," recommend
ed him to Fox and the Whig party, but ho
subsequently forfeited the confidence of the
ultra leaders of that party, by accepting
the Recorderahip of Bombay, and the title of
Knight, from Mr. Pitt. Among these was the
celebrated Dr. Part, who has been sarcasti
cally characterized as " a Brut:int:igen John
son." This pedantic patriot and petulant
partisan declared, when Mackintosh replied
to Burke, ig In Mackintosh, then, I see the
sternness of a republican, without his ac
rimony, and the ardor of a reformer, without
his impetuosity. His philosophy is far more
just and far more amiable than the philosophy
of Paine; and his eloquence is only not equal
to the eloquence of Burke. Ho is argumenta
tive without sophistry, fervid without fury,
profound without obscurity, anti sublime with
out extravagance." After Mackintosh had
accepted the Indian Judgeship, which gave
him a largo income during the seven years be
held it, and a pension of $O,OOO a year, which
he received for twenty-two years, (to his
death in 18320 he met Dr. Parr at a friend's
house. The old pedant could not forgive him
for having accepted professional advancement
from Pitt, who was then Prime Minister of
England. The conversation turned upon the
conduct of one Quigley, wli had recently
been executed for high treason, and Dr. Parr
repeatedly and emphatically exclaimed, it Ile
might have been worse." Upon Mackintosh
asking to explain how, be answered, (f I'll
tell you, Jemmy : Quigley was an Mal:mac—
ho ?night have been a Scotehman; he teav a
priest--ho might have been a lawyer; he was a
traitor—he might have been an apostate."
The treble cut at Mackintosh's country, pro
fession, and conduct, was never forgotten by
those who heard it uttered, with remarkable
vehemence.
The popular and expressive phrase, "the
almighty dollar," tho first use of which has
been much disputed, came from the mint of
Washington Irving's genius.
We dare say that an essay of sonic length
and considerable interest might ha written
upon the subject of quotations altered from the
original diction, and upon quotations attributed
by common consent (as in this case of Addi
son's wrongly affiliated on Jefferson) to per
sons who certainly did not originate them.

The meeting of this Convention is looked for

the weal or the woe of the Democratic party for
several years to come. The insane conduct of the
Conventions of 1858 and 1859 prostrated the party
to such an extent that nothing bet the wisest
counsels ran bring it hack to be what it Was pre

FATAL SDOOTINC/ A/WRAY AT MARYSVILLE —On
the morning of the 2.11 January, about 0 o'elock,
In Marysville, a Mexican, named Aleandro, killed
another named Candelarlo. It happened, says the
Democrat, near the corner of First and B streets.
Candelario and Aleandro had been playing a game
of cards during the night, and disagreed. At six
o'clock, after they had stepped out on the street,
Candolario drew his knife and made a rush for
Aleandro. Aleandro told him to stop, which he
refused to do, and Aleandro thereupon commenced
firing with his revolver. He fired four times. The
first shot missed, the second passed through Cande•
lerio's arm, the third passed through the fleshy
part of his aide, and the fourth one struck him in
the upper part of the mouth, knocking in the teeth,
and passing into the spinal column. At the fourth
shot he fell dead, giving only one or two kicks.
The deceased was a desperate character, one of the
worst In tLe country, and had served some time in
the State Prison, having been sent there, we be
lieve, for assault with intent to kill. A coroner's
inquest was held on the body, and thejury re
butted a verdict that the deceased was killed by
Aleandro In self•defence.

/lIV OUR or Jrnna Tarr.—The Supreme
Coast, on onday, delivered an opinion in the ease
of The People TS. Washingten Butte*, county
clerk. It is as follows: -
On the oral argument, we inclined to think the
point made by the appellant well taken; but, on
farther examination, we think differently.
Thia was a proceeding by statuadassus against the
clerk of the Court of Swim* of San Franetseo
county, to compel him to send to the District
Court of the Furth district an indictment against
David S. Terry for violation of the statute of 1855
The
duelling. (Stat. of 1835, p- L 52.1
The indictment charges the fighting of a duel, by
- agreement of defendant, with David C. Broderick,
end the death of Broderick as the remit of the
meeting. The only question _le has the Court of
&alone jurisdiction of this offence thus charac
terized ? And this question depends apon - the eon
strzetion to a given of various statutes.
By statute organising the Courts of Sessions,
(Wood's Dig., 132,) It m provided that this court
^' has jarion to try and determine all indict
ments teattd, thumbs, for alt public offences, except
murder, mandaugghter . , and arson." The question,
then,' IS, is the offence with which the defendant is
charged V this indictment the armee of murder,
within the meaning of this provision 0f... the statute.

sure of punishment was prescribed, and a separate
offence from that of murder ass created sif the
facts. As early as 1850, the Legislature ..ffed an
act Olt. of le4o, p. 253, section 401) as follows :
" If any person shall, by previous appointment or
agreement, fight a duel, and in m doing shall kill
his antagonist, or any person or persons, or shall
Inflict such wound as Out the party injured shall
die thereof within one year thereafter, every such
offender, his second, as well as the se cond of the
person killed, and all alders, abettors, and coun
sellors, being thereof duly convicted, shall he
punished by imprisonment in the State Prima for
any term not exceeding fire years, nor less than
one year."
This act was amended in 1855, (Statutes, p. 152,)
as as to make the provision more stringent in re
spect to the principal, but not Includies seconds ;
but the purport oft he language defining the of
fence is substantially the same as the provision
quoted. There are several other provisions of this
rot of 1855, which place • pecuniary burdens land
responsibilities upon the duelist; when life is not
taken, (es in section 3,) but when the antagonist is
maimed, there is a provision; these provisions are
penal in their character, and to be construed n
penalties. The offence in the statute is Bat for
killing; the offence is the fighting of the duel, with
certain results. It is this which gives character
and definition to the crime. It is true that the of
fence is not complete, so as to be within the first
section, unless the result be fatal; but this conse
quence is but an ingredient offence, not the offence
itself. The whole crime Is fighting a duel with a
fatal result; and this entire thing is, by special act,
made an offence. This offence was not designed to
fall within the definitions of murder given in the
statutes, but has Its own separate definition, giver,
in the set as a separate and distinct offence.
A review of the various provisions of law which
touch the crime of murder, manslaughter, etc.—
the mode of trial—finding of the jury as to de
grees, punishment, etc , confirms this view, and
shows that the Legislature did not, in legislsting
upon this offence, mean to bring it within the cate
gory of murder, as therein provided for. Bat we
think it unnecessary to consume time In making
this review—for we think the statement we hare
given conclusive of the question.
By the 5.11 section of the act organizing the
Courts of Sessions, it is provided, that when an
indictment is found in the Court of Sessions for
murder, manslaughter, or arson, it shall be trans
mitted to the District Court, etc. Bat in other
offenses the Court of Sessions Itself has jurielic•
tlon. -
We are not asked to decide whether the Court of
Setiii6DE of Ban Fiancisco had jurisdiction over this
(.o'enoe ; that question has not been signed; nor
could we take cognizance of it in this proceeding.

GENERAL NEWS.
ATTISSIPT TO ELOPE WITH A SLAVE.—We learn
that last week a young lady of extraordinary beau
ty and superior attainments, the daughter of weal
thy and respectable parents of Sampson county,
attempted to elope with a negro fellow, t4i. pro
perty of her co usi n. To a friend we are indebted
for the following particulars: Their elopement
had been planned for several weeks, but a favora
ble opportunity not presenting, it was postponed
from time to time; an opportunity offering favora
ble to her nefarious designs, she told the negro to
be in readiness at the designated place and time.
When the hoar arrived, she crept silently from her
father's house, and soon joined the negro, who was
waiting with a horse and buggy, which he bad sto
len from a neighbor, carrying the ba ggy on his shoal
der two hundred yards to the ma in road; the two
then left and proceeded towards the railmad. Be
ing short of funds, made it necessary for the lady
to call upon one of her father's friende, telling him
that he ther father) wished him to loan her a
hundred dollars, at the eapte time handing him a
note, which upon an examination proved to be
worthless, as it had no signature affixed. The gen
tleman in formed her that he would have willingly
loaned her the required sum if her father's signs.
Lure bad been to the note, but as that important par:
was neglected, be could not do it. She then went
with the negro to Faison's depot, on the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad, where she expected to take
the cars, and offered the horse and buggy for sale
at terms so low that at once aroused suspicions that
all was not salt should be Several questions were
put to her, all of which the answered with so math
plausibility that a bystander volunteered to lend
her money, but before doing so desired to see the
bill of sale for the negro, which she affirmed the
had. She procured it, but, like the note, it was
not signed, and also contained enthral other errors
The citizens then determined to arrest them, and
acted accordingly, whereupon the young lady made
a clean breast of the whole affair, publicly express
ing that it was her determination to marry the
black rascal when the got to the North. The ne
gro was immediately taken and lodged in Clinton
jail, but has since been carried off and disposed of.
The young lady remained at Palaces a few days,
and then returned to her friends. As she is yom.g
and beautiful, of superior accomplishments, end
has numerous relatives and friends, and hereto
fore moved in the most respectable society, it is to
be regretted that the acted so improperly and un
becoming a lady.
Of ecdtse, when the "irrepressible conflict"
journalists hear- of it, they will extol her many
virtues to the skies, and make a great to do gene.

TUE LIBERTY or one. BOUQUIT.—The Gazetts
de Thurgorie says that, not long ago, a bouquet
was thrown to a danseuse in one of the theatres at
Venice, made up of the three colors of Italian in
dependence—red, white, and green. She picked
it up and kissed it. For this she was summoned
before the police authorities, and ordered thence
forth to trample on all bouquets which might be
thrown her. This order got abroad, and next
night there was thrown a banquet of the Austrian
colors--black and yellow. In obedience to the
order of the police, she• trampled it under her
feet, while the house was shaken by acclamations
of applause.
THE Cnow.—ln an article on winter birds, we
have this defence in the Atlantic Monthly :
Ile consumes in the course of the year vast
quantities of grubs, worms, and noxious vermin ;
he is a valuable scavenger, and clean the land of
offensive masses of deceas ed animal substaren ;he
hunts the grain fields, and pulls out and devours
the underground caterpillars, whenever he per
ceives the signs of their operatiose at evinced by
the wilted stalks; he destroys mice, young rats,
lizards, and the serpent; lastly, he is a volunteer
sentinel about the farm, and drives the hawk from
its enclosure, thus preventing greater minthief
than that of which he himself is guilty. It is chiefly
during seed time and harvest that the depredations
of the crow are committed; during the rennirdsr
of the year we witness only his services, and so
highly are these services appreciated by those who
have written of birds that I cannot name an orni
thologist who does not plead in his behalf."

of the same proscriptive character. At the meet
' ing in this city, on Monday evening, several nee
sone were threatened with expulsion, and others
were treated with the greatest indignity whenever
their names were mentioned. The simple fact that
a man chooses not to contribute to a division of
the Opposition was regazded as constituting him
an outlaw, and all who occupied that position were
treated accordingly. It i 3 not possible that any
body of men who institute an inquisition as to the
character and private sentiments of their neigh

St'FFOCATION fly Gas.—The entire family of
George Ilenderson, a custom•hcnse officer In To
ronto, were nearly suffocated by gas a few nights
ago., One of the inmates, Min Mary Kerr, aged
seventeen, did not recover. She lingered for.ome
hairs after the ocearronce, but could not be re
suscitated.
Through some carelessnesa of the gas company,
a main near the residence of Mr. Henderson be
came leaky, the gas found its wayinto a drain, and
in the night filled the house. The condition of
the family was not discovered until nine in the
mornin:g. All the members were in bed and in an
insensible condition. Mr. Henderson appeared to
be dead ;hie` t (arse was livid, hands clenched, end
foam muted from his lira. The criedoe . 3 were
thrown open and physicians called. It RID rot
uotiieeveral hours that any of the family recovered
rulificient to reoognise persons. Their sofferinga
were very great, a aeries of violent versa having
