to darken counsel.
The' Work of Professor Wealth= stande out,
however, ea a bold exception tothis arab:titan upon
,
the balk of our ourrent legal .llbsratore. It re.
=lade us of an, earlier age, tamest forgotten,
When one book was the work of a lifetime and Oen
trained the hoarded steroid years of, study and ex
perionee. In turning over the pages off hie velum e
we are struck .with many peculiarities character
istic ',Only of the ;We can
afford to dOVISO tblz *Mew of eruettleMeati the
mere illgeothnntingladustry; which are the prowl
}font le/tires of much, of our resent law writing.
No common-plerm book'of, autherities dribblecatong,
in the fetit-ntrbis,irid'efialieni are net s lieiped upon
citations,• to verify an undisputed prinelplet When
it is necessary to compare the leglilation or the
doctrine , of the - several States upon a particular
enblooe, It is done perspicuously and , • concisely,
with apt ref.:Wer:lea to codes and statutes, and with
out the accumulation' of useless material, bet by
seizing and presenting the true paint of contrast,
and that only. •
There are several - extremely valuable notes of
this deseription in the book. Those relating to oe•
totes tall, to the rights of married women, to par-'
titian;
and to the lien of judgments and the ex
emption laws, , may be partioirlarly referred to.
Among themattendleoarded by the author is the
indent lalsOrr or tenures, withßi' we usually find,
in the books on real property, expanded with a pro
lixltY"inuch more curious than prontable,to the
'reader; In lieu of which' we harp; in about twenty
pages, a clear statement of quite as mush of this
&nth:lberian leaching as is realiy'pertineat to the
oxistingeonditiou of the law. It is very easy to
mike an impoeing show of erudition by purloining
a mass of this ancient lore from tho'anotent sources ;
but Professor Washburn has displayed the praoti•
eel character of his mind by declining to explore
that 'remote field"-or, rather, he shows ihis tho
rough Acquaintance with it by reaping from ft what
should' be gathered by the modern student, and re
jeoGngts useless bulk of chaff. • • „
It henot only in careful discrimination and close

aiPlrant for the honors of - authorship, and of no

the reading - and reflection of a ripe and sagacious
lawyer. The reserve, the caution, the distinctions,
the suggestions, the doubts, all, denote the cool,

moors's" , at Belleville, Maryland, u small place on
the Washington-Baltimore railroad, would take
place. Groat preparations had been made, and the
clerks In our departments were informed that they
not only could have leave of absence to.attend the
meeting, but that it would also be a good opportu
nity to prove their devotion to Lane and Breokin
ridge. Accordingly, a very large number of our
petty officials accepted the hint, the more, es they
could afffird it, having received their monthly salary
the day preceding. It is true that many,of our
tailors, ehoomakers, and other tradesmen, grum
bled at that extravagant expenditure of money due
to them, for so hopeless and forlorn an enterprise as
tho election of Breokinridge and Lano.i It is
equally true that some people could not see the
propriety of officials, who receive four dollars
and upwards per day, going to political, meet
legs, neglecting their duties and receiving after
wards their full salary. Yet these 016'10441 go
in large numbers last Saturday morning, as
aompanied by a music band. Arrived at
Beltsville, the quiet inhabitants of. that
little town wore quite astonished at the in
vasion of Mr. 13uohanan's paid servants. If it
had not been for the music band, soma old /adios
might have balloted that a second * John Brown
raid was to break the atillness of their rural homes.
But equally astonished, If not more so, were our
Washington clerks; they expected to find a large
concourse of people, who would receive the faithful
servants of the public treasury with 'hurratut and
cheers. Bat "nary ono" could be aeon. The
Breokinridge elector, as well as hie opponent on
the 801 l ticket, who were to have a joint
,dlecus
eon, having heard that the Washington , clerk!,
would bo sent over by Mr. Buchanan, could not
bo found in a circuit of fifty miles. Being thus
disappointed, our Washington excursionists con
cluded to drown their sorrows in Boltsvillo
whisky, which Is said to be superior to any
kind manufaotured from strychnine and sulphate.
Having tried that consoling experiment, a half
dozen times, they marched to the stand to make
speeches. Not less than fifteen spoke; and had
the rest been able to digest the Beltsville whisky,
every one would have given vont to a burst of Bu
chanan and Breokinridge eloquence. They de
mollabod Douglas entirely. I learn that some en
terprising genius in Beltsville, encouraged by hie
success of last Saturday, Is going to build a new
whisky distillery In commemoration of the, descant
of the Washington officials.
Though some assert that Mr. Yancey will go
North, Ido not believe it. Mr. Yancey will not
speak in any free State, as that would be against
his principles. All he desires is the forming of
Southern Union, and for that purpose he needs no
Northern support.
General Harney, who is at present in town, is
causing considerable annoyance to the President
and his Cabinet. He was removed from bis com
mand in Washington Territory at the request of
the British minister, Mr. Buobanan not having
nerve enough to defend the Amer/Can interests on
the island of San Juan. The General complains
bitterly at the treatment he has received, and
shows also that General Scott has not been acting
fairly towards him.
The prospects of the De Groot claimants become
more hopeless from day to day. It would not bo
at all surprising if their claim of $llB,OOO would
dwindle down to nothing.
WASHINGTON, Ootobor 2, 1860
I understand that the friends of Mr. Douglas
will all be removed. One gentleman, , employed
In one of the Departmente, was removed On Satur
day, because ho is a Douglas man. Other.? will
follow.
The Breekinridge men are very /ouch pleased
with the ripeeoh of lion. Henry Winter Davis, re
cently held at Baltimore. His declaration in fa
vor of Lineoln, they hope, will draw oil 10,000
votes frees Ben and Everett In Maryland, thus
giving the State to Mr. Breokinridge.
The Secretary olihe Navy has ordered the store

calve and convey to Syria such bores of clothing,
or other goods, as a sympathising public may be
diSposed to contribute towards relieving the thou

in consequence of the recent terrible massacres In
that distant land. MI boxes or goods must be di

The last European news has caused much open
lotion in ofiloial eireles. The routing of Lamori-t

ing, and his untiring efforts to form a large army
of 130,000 men, prove eonolusively that no hopes
for a peaceful settlement of the oroplioated
affairs of the Italian pordnsula can be entertained.
Both Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi are deter
mined to drive the Austrian's from Italian soil; and

forth. 61011GY tlt. hruntin.
After these papers had been enbmitted to the
court, li. Spencer Miller, on behalf of Charles
Macalester and Duo Lea, tax-payers, presented a
bill praying an injunotion, for the following rea
sons •
First. 'There has been no proper era suff i cient
advertisement for proposals or estimates, the epe•
()Matrons submitted to the board, and by them to
the public, being so grossly vague and insufficient
that there could be no legal action thereon.
Second. The said vague and insufficient spocifl•
Cations, after they were submitted to competitors,
were materially altered, so that, in fact, the spe
cifications annexed to the contract now executed
have never boon publicly submitted for proposals.
Of published in aeoordanee with the 4th milers of
the act of 2d of April.
Third. The said contract provides in eireat that
said commissioners and osntraotor mayagreo upon
any changes or alterations therein, and does not
provide for or require any approval of said changes
or alterations by Commits, which is in fact to
render useless any previous approval by Counoile,
or at least, if Councils ratify the said elanse, to
give power to the commissioners and bind future
Councils In a manner forbidden by the said cot of
Aptll 2, as construed by the decision of this court.
Fourth. The bald eat requires that a contract
shalt be made, not only to erect said buildings but
to fit them up for the reception of the courts and
public offices, whereas raid contract does not pro
vide for said fitting op. •
Fifth. Bald art requires that said contract alien
be with the pity of Philadelphia, whereas it is so
in form only and not in feet, there being no execu
tion by officers of the oily.
All the papers now being before the court, the
oonnsel for the respondents objected to having the
tax-payers' bill before them for argument, whenan
opportunity bad not been afforded to examine it.
Judge Read said he desired to have the whole
subject before him at the time of the argument; end
after some discussion, Thursday next was fixed for
tiro argument. Messrs. E. Bpeneor Miller and
(kluge M. Wharton represented the tat-payers.

A FEBIALTI EMIMARY.--41l examination, on
Friday morning, was held by Mayor Macbeth of
one Airs. Catharine Botteford, a female of rather
prepossessing appearance, charged by several re
spectable citizens with uttering and disseminating
among our slave population seditious sentiments.
During the investigation sho admitted entertain..
lug the Abolition sentiments attributed to her, and
of, being an admirer of John Brown. She denied,
JlOtreyer, any attempt to circulate her opinions.
Th 9 evidence and affidavits submitted showed to
the contrary, and she was required to give bail in
the sum of MO for her good behavior, Failing in
this, she was turned over to Magistrate Ranapar.s,
who committed her to jail- The accused states
that she has resided in the city about nine months,
during which time she has followed the otmaptition
of a seamstress. she Also itatei - that she had
hoped to obtain the situation of a teacher. The
ease will probably undergo investigation at the
January term of the °cart of general, sessions.—

When that party, by their Convention-111,Febru

Mr. Curtin wee.asked the qnestion by some perm - ,
in theorovid, " if ha timid; et PlG:burg, that he did
not wish any man to rata for him nettene he vateci
for Mr. Lincoln ')
Mr. Curtin said that generally ha did not hold
himself bound to respond to questions put, maim
.he understood the motive of. the person !Metre
gating him; bat that he was pleased that the
question was asked. I never acid in Pittebing or
in -any other place, at any time, that I did not

not vote for Lincoln to vote for me ; nor did I
ever use language that could be construed no

warmest pereonel and politmel friende I have in
Pennsylvania will ;Me for Mr. Bell. This charge
has often been made before in this city, and I am
pleased foliave on opportnnitYof contradicting it.
If members of the People's party cannot vote for
me, I trust it will be en principle, and not nn
misapprehension or falsehood. I was pained to
hear that Governor Illereheede of Kentucky, said
to a reputable man sf Altoona, that he heard me,
say I did not wish Americana or Bell men to vote
for me. I solemnly assert that at the time Gover
nor Morehead is alleged to have said it, I never
WAS in his company or laid my eyes on liirn. 1 be
lieve I have answered tho question put to me. leie
friende, there should be an active sympathy in
trade, es well socially as politically, between the
city and the country. We end you the treasures
of the valley and the mountain, and the trade of
the forest ; and the
_people of the interior, year
after year, era growing prouder of this, the great
metropolis of the State.
All the material interests in the interior lan
guish for want of ptotectiou, cud surely this great
I manufacturing city Must sympathise with the uni
versal deprecator; that rests on the businete of the
people of this State. Let us look
,at this great
question like independent Penneylvenlans. Can
we expect protection from. the Democratic party 7
Experience acinionishee us that we look in vain to
a party for protection that refused ua protect/en at
the fast sesame of Cone,rees, and dare .not declare
for protection on the laboring man, whose labor is
the basis of 'Our wealth and prosperity, while it
finds its power and nucleus in States resting their
system of political economy on manual Leber.
My competitor, General Footer, eays he is a tariff
man. Of that gentleman I have always spoken
with respect ; indeed, I have known him too long
and too well to speak of him in any other manner
Bet I must believe that if he is a tariff man, and
desires protection to the people ofrennsedrania, he
should at once leave a political oreaniaation whiol
is ,essentiallyeree trade, and whilst' hail ever op
posed the Pennsylvania doctrine of protection to
American industry.
At this paint the enthuaiasna was immense; and,
after tremendous cheering, Col. Curtin said, "Gen
tlemen, you have done me great honor. Permit
me to bid you good night."
