While tho small politicians of the country,

howl like Jackalls on tho chase, and deny
to tho retiring chief Magistrate, cither in

the baseness of its colleagues of tho press,
puts on record its deliberate endorsement
of tho honesty, integrity and ability of Mr.
Buchanan. Wo commend tho articlo to
the attention of those men who arc accus
tomed to sco nothing good, and nothing
right in tho acts of the late president.
I'lio dihtincuishcd individual who is
about to retire from tho administration cf
the Government of tho United States has
lived in eventful times and performed a

events. r)o incumbent of the highest of

honored and none deserves to bo held in
more grateful remembrance for tho bene
fits he ha? actually conferred upon tho
country, for the impulso ho has given to
our coinmorca and manufactures, for the
firmness with which ho has repelled tho ag
gressions upon our riphts by foreign na
tions, an'l lor tho skill with which ho has
often disentangled tho web tf difficulties in
which our domestic affairs have been in
volved by the wars of parties and tho con
flicU of sections with each other,
Mr. Buchanan has united the advanta

forcd to Congress, Tho compromise meas
ures of 1S50 received hia approval and
advocacy. When Mr. Picrco succeedod
to the Presidency, ho appointed Mr. Bu
chanan Ambassador to tho Court of St.
James, and entrusted him with tho settle
ment of the ccftnplicated Central Amcriean
question. In 1H00 ho returned home,and,
in the month of Juno of that year, was
unanimously nominated, by tho Democrat
ic Convention, for tho Presidency of tho
United States, and was subsequently elect-ted.
Tho recent administration of Mr. Bu
chanan has been, and will continue to bo,
a subject of much comment. II is position,
amidst tho quarrels ofparties and tho strug
cIoj of seclious.hasbecn ono ofneculiar dif-
liculty. Iu bouio quarters his conduct of
alluirs lias provoked censure, in otlicrs it
has awakened admiration and excited ap
plause, and theso diversities of opinion are
attributable to the different political stand
points from whicli his acts have been con
templated. Time and cool reflection must
intervene before mon arc prepared to pro
nounco a deliberate and impartial judg
mentupon tho conductof functionaries who
have occupied public stations of great emi
nence. In respect to some measures that
have illustrated his administration, the
whole country, even now is prepared to
render an unchangeable verdict In the
settlement of thu Mormon troubles, tho
Central American embroglio, the right of
search question, and other uico problems
that have arisen during the period in which
he has held tho rein3 of government, bear
ing particularly on our commercial rela
tions with foreign countries,and our troub
les with ihcrn, ho has manifested a degrco
of statesmanship unsurpassed by that of
any of his predecessors j and, if all his
measures havo not been crowned with sue
ccis,thc reason of their failure will be found
to exist, not iu any want of energy and sa
gacity on his part, but in the fact that some
important recommendations have failed to
secure the concurrence ot a collateral
tho Executive might properly bo extended.
Then neithor of us knew of tho eoenc in
the court-room, and as sho scorned im
pressed with her ignominious condition, wo
advised her to improvo the time of her
confinement, so that when sho was onco
more freo sho might bo able to lead a vir
tuous life. No fear that she would over
como thero again, was her reply i sho had
a good friond who would hecp her from
harm in thu future. A little inquiry drew
from her the fact that her lover had made
her hia wifo, and with a bluah that crim
soned her facojsho drew from her bosom
tho marriage certificate, saying, with a
smile of joy and hope, "Thank God, I'll

.he negotiated a treaty ol great valuo to our
commcrco and navigutiou in the Baltic aud
Black Seas. On hU return from llussia,
iu lb'IiU, ho was elected to a seat iu tho
United States Senate. In 1833 tho re
caption of abolition petitions had becomo a
subject of angry controversy between tho
North and South. His idea was that the
petitions should bo received, but thero
should bo a distinct and positive declara
tion on tho part of Congress, that it had no
power to legislato on the subject of slavery.
Ho desired to leave it, he said, where the I
Constitution had left it, to tho States them
selves. On this subject his course has
been uniform, and he has ever manifested
an unflinching determination to maintain
tho rights aud institutions of tho South
against all opposition. He was among tho
earliest of tho Senators to urgo tho recog
nition of tho independence of Texas aud
her admission into tho Union. Ho main
tained the justice of the claims of Ameri
can citizens lor indemnity against the
1'rcnch Government, reviewing tho wholo
subject with masteily ability.
On Van Burcu's accession to the Presi
dency ho supported his great measure of
an Independent Treasury. During Mr.
Tyler's administration he successfully ad
vocated the veto power of tho Prcsidont
under the Conititution against Mr. Clay's
efforts to abolish it. When Mr. Polk was
elected to tho highest ofiico in tho country,
he invited Mr, Buchanan to the most hon
orable scat in his Cabinet, that of Secreta
ry of Stato. Occupying this high position,
Mr. Buchanan entered into a negotiation
with Mr. Pakcuham, Her British Majes.
ty'a Minister Plenipotentiary to tha" Amer
ican Government, for the settlement of the
claims of tho two Governments to the
Northwestern Torritory, each claiming tho

compromise lino of 40deg, north, previous
ly offered bv Mr. Tyler, and it was ulti
mately adopted, In tho prosecution of tho
Mexican war liuchanan was tho adviser ot
tho President, and at its conclusion aided
him wi th his counsels in adjusting the
difficult question of boundaries between the
two countries. Whilo in jur. roirs uan

A Talo of tho Tombs.
Among the prisoners iu the femalo de
partment of the Tombs is Catharine Carr
a girl not yet out of her teem, who was
lately sentenced to two years imprisoinncn'
at Sing Sing. Tho caso of this poor crea
ture U ono that deserves tho utmost com
miseration. She was a girl of tho town
and, like most of her class, had a lovcr.one
Michael Jostin, a mechanic, who supported
himself by his trado. On the night of the
31st of December New-Year's eve these
two persons wero standing in Duano strett
near Broadway, in conversation, when
Kogor Loftus, a turbulent, intcmperato
person, came up, and, without the slight
est provocation, assailed Jostin, In tho
struggle, Jostin was thrown down and sa
vcrely handled. Catharine, seeing the
danger of her lover, ran up, and, on the
impulse of tho moment, drew a small pen
knife, with which sho struck at Loftus,
wounding him in tho arm. Tho police
came up, and took tho wounded man to
tho hospital whilo Jostin was removed to a
cell. Loftus lost a great deal of blood,
the weapon having punctured an artery,
but uo fear of his life was entertained till
erysipelas set in, which took him off in five
days. A corner's inquest was held, and
Jostin, who was still under arrest, was in
a fair way to bo returned as tho murderer ;
but on tho second day, Catharine appeared
as a witness, aud testified what no ono
knew before save herself, and perhaps her
lover, that it was her baud that struck the
fatal blow, and that Jostin was innocent
of the deed. Sho was sent to prison, and
jointly indicted with Jostin, the caso com
ing up yesterday in tho Court of Oyer and
Terminer, for trial. Here sho pleaded
guilty of manslaughter in tho third degreo
and her lover, by her evidence, was ad
mitted. Mr. Justice Leonard in passing
upon the case strongly condemned adultery
and pointed out to Jostin that had the girl
been his wifo instead of his leman, her act
in his defense- would havo been justifiable.
By way of making Catharine all the repa

sorrow which her love for him had brought
upon her, ho asked tho Court to mako her
his wife. Iho Justico cheerfully complied
with his wishes, tho Sheriff, interpreter,
and officer of tho Court witnessing tho mar-

souio advice from tho Bench, the newly
married couple left tho court-rooin,parting
at the door, the husband to go to his work

removal to tho State Prison. Tho writer
of this was in tho Tombs yesterday after

An ex-Empress died in Philadelphia a
week or two sineo. We refer to Madame
Huatc de Yturbidc, widow of tho former
Emperor of Mexico, whoso decease took
place on Thursday, March 21st, 1801, at
her lodgings in Broad street. This csti.

tho Mexican Government, iu 1824, be
longed to a distinguished Spanish family
long resident in Mexico. Her misfortunes
as well as her good qualities as a woman,
had secured her the regard of tho society
in which Bhe moved. A pension from tho
Mexican Government enabled her to cdu
cato her family liberally, and sho has per
formed her duties as a mother and a
member of society in a faithful and exem

under the Government. Her daughters

Tho ad affliction that has thus befallen
tho family of Madame dc Yturbido recalls
to tho memory the heroic career of her
noblo husband. Ho was tho great man of
tho best days of Mexico. Ho was the au
thor of her separation from Spain, and tho
Mexican people, in the first flu'h of their
gratitude, fairly fhrust upon him tho
crown, which bo had designed, in tho
famous "Plan of Iguala," for a Spanish
prince. He was proclaimed Emperor with
tho titlo of "Augustin tho First,'' on tho
eight of May 18th, 1822. For along
timo ho refused tho proffered crown, and
it was only after the Congress had voted
for him by a voto of 77 to 15, that he ac
cepted it. In tho following month tho
Congress voted unanimously for making
tho crown hereditary in tho family of
Yturbido, and soon after ho was solemnly
crowned.
But the ficklo and faithless Mexican
people did not stand by the monarch they
had chosen. Tho military leaders that
havo been tho curso of tho country began
to conspiro against the Government. A
civil war arose, in whicli Santa Anna soou
became a prominent leader against tho
Emperor. A republic was proclaimed and
on tho 20th of March, 1823, after a tur
bulcnt reign of less than a year, Yturbido
abdicated. Permission was granted to
him to leave tho country, and a pension of
825,000 a year was granted to him, He
went with his family to Italy, but returned
in 1821 to Mexico, where, in tho mean-

Smalt. Bank Notes, Again. Tho
Ilarrisburg Telegraph, which seems to be
the organ of the dominant party in the
Legislature, intimates that the bill au
thorising tho banks of tho Stato to issue
small notes, is likely to pass, and then
goes on to say, "Better havo small notes
of our own than that portions of the Stato
shall bo flooded with tho shinplastcrs of
other States, as is now tho case. We
learn that Vie country banks generally fa

tion at the present session." No doubt
it is the fact as to tho "country banks"
who fail to redeem their notes at Phila
delphia or Pittsburg. Theso spavined
concerns aro as rotten as thoy aro mean.
They havo no strength, no solidity, and
