II. XX 'DEVISE.
Ebrnaburg, Feb. 24. If 58.
We nut have some more Talk with this
Learned Theban.
Shakgpearc informs us ia one of bis plays
that instinct is a great matter, and the same
thing may be said with truth of dignity, as
the Kditor of the '"Mountaineer" baa recent
ly discovered. He very obligingly informed
bis readers last weckjthat for sometime be
bad been treating the Editor of this paper
with, silent contempt. He, however, conde
soends at length to doff the robes of dignity,
and pitch into us to tbe extent of a column
or so of bis highly interesting and instructive
thect. However, notwithstanding this fierce
attack, wo "still live aud have our being," a
strong proof of the trath of the saying of
Webster, that the vigor of the war does not
always come up to the lofty and high sound
ing tone of the manifesto. The reason for
the silence of the Editor of the 'Mountain
eer" with regard to the "Democrat Si Senti
nel" for several weeks, is caiily explained.
Ho had given Splashboard & Co. charge of
the slung department of his (?) paper, in
compliance with the directions of tbe stock-holdcr-in-ebiuf,
and they performed thtir
work so well, that tbe communication!) at
tracted all tho attention, and Philip fared
like a dietrasiol prince who culls iu a power
ful ufcighber to his aid; "he was uudouo fey
bis auxiliaries; when be bad once called them
in be eould not subsist without them." Un
less bo cau puriuadc Splashboard & Co. to
furnish him with a weekly communication iu
either Poetry or Prose, we fear the "Moun
taineer" will soon become stale, flat and un
profitable. But for tbe present they have
"suspended," and Philip, Achilles like, bath
returned to the battle-field once more ; aud
notwithstanding bis dignity, we do humbly
-bopo !o Lave a very sociable chat with him
over matters and things in general.
Philip averts that in our paper two weckf.
ago, we censured him for having endorsed
and sustained tbe course pursued by the Hon.
Gacrge N Smith, in the election of United
S ates Senator during the session of 1857.
This is simply untrue, and shows a manifest
unwillingness on the part of Philip to meet
the charge we brought cgainst him. We as
sarted what we know to be a fact, that be was
among the Democrats in this place who en
dorsed Mr. Smith's course in the Senatorial
contest referred to, and then proceeded to in
quire if bis views with regard to Mr. Smith's
course on that occasion bad undergone a
change, and if the' bad not, why be allowed
anonymous scribblers to malign Mr. Smith
through the columns of the "Mountaineer,"
for having refused to attend the democratic
caucus and rote for John W. Forney, its
nominee. Two communications recently ap
piared ia the "Mountaineer," referring to
the political career of Mr. Smith, in which be
was insultingly styled a bolter, a greenhorn,
Ac. Ilia vote against John W Fornev was
tauntingly alluded to as an set of which he
Lad reason to feci ashamed. .Now, it is very
strange if Philip really controls the "Moun
taineer," that he allows such trash and slang
to appear in its columns. Philip says that
he still believes that Mr. Smith was right in
refusing to support John W. Forney forUui
ted States Senator, and vet he allows him to
bo villiSed through tho columns of the
"Mountaineer" for that very act. Wo as
signed a very satisfucory reason far this in
our paper two wotks ago, and a Philip prob
ably overlooked it, being in a dignified mood
when ho perused our article, we now quote it
for his especial benefit . The stockholder-in-
chicf "endorses everything concerning Mr.
Smith which Splashboard A: Co write, and
Philip dare not say nay. Their communica
tions must go iu."
Philip asoerts that Mr. Smith "lately in
terfered in a difficulty in this county in which
he had no right to interfere." Now let us
examine tbi charge and sco on what it rests.
Mr. Snijtij some time ago addressod two let
tarMo the Chan man of the Democratic Coun
ty Committee of th;. county, sustaining the
KRnens policy of tho President, and briefly
but pointedly bating Lis rca90ns fcr faVoring
the immediate admission of Kansas into the
TVu-a under the Lecompton Constitution
Th.- fcltfrs were afterward ruUM.rd in i
Phi
Tiil c-r- (
tainly not pretend to aay that tbe Leoompton
question is. or baa any time during the con
troversy, been a local issue, confined to tbe
limits of thin county. It has, from the first,
agitated the whole country from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Being a national question,
Mr. 8mitb, ad a free ard independent citizen
bad tbe undoubted right to give publicity to
his views with regard to it, and tbe charge
that be was attempting to dictate to bis con
stituents in so doing is perfectly ridiculous. Of
course Mr.Smith intended that hi3 views sho'd
be reocived by the Democracy of Cambria for
what they were worth and no more. We de
ny that be ever "undertook to instruct bis
constituents how to act on a certain ques
tion," and wc call on Philip to substantiate
the charge. He cannot do it he dare not
attempt it. It is true that doggerel poetry
ancl burlesque communications may do very
well as a substitute, when sinking under tho
weight of argument, but Philip, and even
Splashboard & Co., would do well to remem
ber, that the people of Cambria are disposed
to give no attention to assertions nnsustained
by proofs, and even though dignity is a great
matter, it will not always answer as a substi
tute for proofs when they are required.
Philip charges us with having opposed the
course of Mr. Smith during the senatorial
controversy of 1857. It is true we conten
ded at the time that it would have been the
better course for 0 en. Foster and his friends
to have attended the democratic caucus, but
we always maintained that they were actuated
by pure and honest motives', and we strongly
condemned the course of the Pennsyhanian
Bedford Gazette, and Keystone Cdtd, with re
gard to them. Philip is mistaken when he as
serts that we never attended any of the mee
tings held in this place for the purpose of
sustaining Gen. Foster, and his friends.
We attended them all, aud took as active a
part In the proceedings as Philip did.
We do not recollect of Phil'p being called on
to make a speech on any of these occasions ,
owing doubtless to the fact that be had. not
at that time any ono to 'leg' among the crowd
for tho purpose of getting him au opportunity
to epout and spread himself. When Mr.
Smith returned borne last spring and offered
himself as a candidate for renomination, we
at once espoused his cause and labored zeal
ously to promote his nomination. As the
Assistant Editor of the Democrat it- Sentinel,
we sustainel him faithfully and fearlessly, if
not efficiently during the late campaign, and
we are ready to do so again if necessary.
Our political record is brief but it is with out
a stain. We have never faltered in sustain
ing the men aud measures of the Democratic
Party, and Philip cannot with truth pay the
fame thing. Although a mere norice h is
now crefping on all four iuto the Black
Republican camp nis views with regard to
the Lccompton Cocctitution difle r in nothing
from those upheld and advocated by every
Black Republican and Know-Nothing Editor
and Statesman iu the United States. The
Mountaineer is in tiuth at present a more
efficient organ of tbe Black Republican party
than the Johnstown Tribune, for the Tribune
inconstantly desturbing the ranks of the party
by advocating Know-Nothing principles,
while tho Mjuntainccr steers clear of that
abomination. Philip bad better "hold bis
horse for tho present." It is not in his or bis
waster' power to abolitionixe Cambria County-
"Thon Art a Sohclar Speak to it Hor
atio" The Editor of the Mountaineer appeirs to
be much better posted upon Bible History,
than English grammar. As an illustration,
take tho followiug which appeared in the
Mountaineer some time ago. In speaking of
General White, Philip says wrathfully : "we
have been told that hi? power, his money, and
influence would erush us. Lot IT crush" a
very strange Pronoun cortaiuly for such a
plurality of Nouns Now we do not pretend
to be a mighty Grammarian, but inasmuch
as Philip appears anxious to cateh at every
slight error or mistake be chances to discover
in our paper, we "take this method" of con
vincing him that notwithstanding his dignity,
he is not infallable. We reminded him a few
weeks ago of the old adage, "that people who
live in glass house shouldn't throw Etones"
an admonition which he appears to have al
ready forgotten. Philip, whenever you be
come "perfect in all things," you will have the
undoubted right to point out and comment on
the errors and mistakes of your neighbors, but
not until then.
The Democracy of Cambria have
always been the devoted friends of James
Buchanan. They never made common cause
with Simon Cameron and his sattelitcs who,
for years persued him with ficnulike maligni
ty for the purpose of blighting his political
prospects forever. And at the present time
in no couuty in the United States in there
more unanimity in favor of sustaining his
Kansas policy. Mere than seven eights of the
Democracy of Cambria are in favor of admis
sion of Kanrs under the Lecompton Consti
tution. Dr. Sharp, of Oxford, had a ridiculous,
though a very common habit of prefacing all
his senten ces with the words, iy" An
under graduate, having mimicked this pecu
liarity , the doctor sent for him to give him a
jobation, which ho began thus . "I say
they say you say I say I say," when, finding
the ridiculous combination, he concluded by

COEHMTTEE OF CONFERENCE.
The Conference Committee of both Houses
of Congress on the bill for the admission of
Kansas, reported last Friday a bill for the
admission of the Territory into the Union un
der certain conditions contained in the act.
The bill is calculated to satisfy conservative
men of all parties, and will, if adopted, give
peace to Kansas and the nation. It provides
for tho admission of Kansas under the Le
compton Constitution , dependent on the ordi
nance submitted. If rejected, provision is
made for the adoption of a new constitution.
Mr. English, on reporting the bill to the
House, made the following remarks :
Mr. English said in view of the state of the
public business and the fact that this subject
had already been more thoroughly discussed
than any proposition ever bought before Con
gress, he did not propose to make any exten
ded remarks. The Committee of Conference
were deeply impressed with the responsibility
resting on them. While adhering to what
they believed a great principle, they had en
deavored to discharge their duty in a spirit
which would not endanger the passage of a
great measure, and hazard tbe peace of the
country for unimportant points or unecessary
words. This report wasthe very bct the
Committee could agree oa, iq view of the em
barrassing circumstances surrounding their
action. It was true. the report proposed the
admission of Kansas on certain conditions,
but in this respect it did not differ from the
Senate bill or the House amendment. He
referred to the Lecompton ordinance to show
that the proposition there was wholly inadmis
sible. By that, Kansas would receive 25,500,
000 of acres, worth at the maximum price
$29,500,000,exclusive of other benefits. The
amendment proposed to give grants similar to
those made to most of the new States, 20,
000,000 acres lees than by the Lecompton or
dinance, making a difference to the United
States of $750,000. The report agreed on
might not be fair, but if it fell, it is fair to
presume that all parlimcntary expedients will
be exhausted, and the question still be onon.
cp-ienderin'; sectional strife and endanceiin"
the peace and prosperity of the country. If
the report is adopted, the question will depart
it is hoped and believed, never to return
This is a proposition where much is to be
gained and nothing lost, so far as the results
are conscrned. It lost, it will be unfortunate
for the country, and peril tho blessings which
flow from the Union.
A motion was then made to defer the fur
ther consideration of tho bill until the second
Monday of May, which was carried. A mo
tion was afterwards made to reconsider this
vote, which, if carried, will afford an oppor
tunity to finally dispose of this vexed ques
tion before that time.
More of New Grenada.
As a slightttaste of politics on the Isth
mus we give the alleged mode in which the
treaty with New Grenada was ratified . A
vote was about being taken on it, which, it
was apparent, would result ia its rejection,
when General Mosquera came riding down to
the Senate in hot baste, and entering the
Chamber, warned that body against the re
jection of the Convention, stating that if it
threw it out, the United States flag wtmld be
waving over tbe Isthmus" iu less than two
months. After Mosquera's speech, the vote
was taken, and the Convention was approved
by two majority.
But the most remarkable feature respect
ing this negotiation is contained in a report
of Seuor Florentino Gonzales, Attorney Gen
eral of the nation, a liberal minded man. ed
ucated in Europe, who has lived in the Uni
ted States. In communicating tn their Pn.
press, a new proposed Federal Constitution
no propose, in case this measure of reform
should not be adopted, that the eight States of
New Grenada should apply for admission
into the American Union "under the same
conditions as the States that constitute the
confederacy !" He argues that the security
which incorporation with us would give, wo'd
better their material prosperity, and thus.- at
the same time, enable the liquidation of the
debt with which they are at present burthen
ed, and which cannot now bo done, under the
depressed state of their agriculture and com
merce, occasioned by their want of this very
security. He concludes thus :
"We shall lose a nominal nnt.mn.1W..
VHla, .

acquire a. poiem, real one, that will be res
pected throughout the world. Our rn ;n

iransierrea to tne government of the Union."
The public debt of the country is. calcula
ted at some forty millions, on which the iu
tercst is increasing, the revenue exhibiting
an annua deficiency of some eight hundred
thousand dollars . .
This is certainly a very interesting sub
ject, but we apprehend that it will amount to
nothing even m New Grenada, as tbe hostili
ty entertained there to our obtaining a foot
hold on their territory, which has mainly led
to the opposition to the proposed treaty, will
prevent the entertaining such a proposition
seriously. Pitts. Union.
AnviCE to Young Ladies. Do you wish
to preserve a clear and healthy complexion,
without the use of deleterious msmotloa r
drugs, and escape the penalty and expense of
doctors bills? If you do, goto bed early,
rise early, take plenty of exercise in the open
air, and do not spend a majority of any day
in sewing by band. Sewing' by hand has
been a greater cause of the destruction of
health than any other employment the sex
engages in, aud now the day for its necccssity
has gone by, it would bo suicidal for any young
lady, who can persuade her father fo purchase
for her one of Gkovbr &Bakr's Sewing Ma
chines; to sew by hand, and thus become a
slave at the expense of her health. The
Grovkb - Baker Machine is easily mana
ged by any person of ordinary intelligence
will not get out of order, and tews a stronger
and more beautiful seam than can be done by
hand. It Is the only machine in the market
that has given entire saiiefaction to the fam
ilies using it, inasmuch as its work will no
rip. even if every third stitch be cut.

Department op State. 1
Washington, March 1858. y
Sir: It having been understood that some
doubts has arisen in Kansas, concerning the
proper construction in the last clause in the
24th section of the organic law of that Terri
tory. I herewith transmit for your informa
tion a copy of the opinion of the attorney
General upon that subject.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, Lbwis Cae6.
Gov. J.W. Denver.
Lecompton. Territory of Kansas
Mr. Blade to Mr. Cass.
Attorney General's Office,
March 20, 1858. f
Sir : The question you propounded to me
is on the construction of the following clause
in the act organizing and establishing the
territorial government of Kansas : "If any
bill should not b3 returned by the Governor
within three days (Sunday excepted,) after
it shall have been presented to him, the same
shall be a law in like manner as if he had
signed it' unless tbe Assembly adjourning,
prevent its return, in which case it shall not
be a law." Does this give to the Governor
three clear days to consider a bill? Or is he
bound to return it on the third day, countiug
in the day on which it is. presented as one of
the three.
It is the universal rule in the computation
of time for legal purpose, not to notice frac
tions of a day. When the law allows
a thing to be done within a certain number of
days, you cannot take a fractional part of one
day at the beginning, and add to it another
fraction at the end in order tc make up tbe
whole day. Bat where the fraction at the
commeu'eement of the time Bhall be counted
as a whole day. or whether it shall be exclu
ded from the calculation altogether, was a
much vexed question, on which both the En
glish judges and the doctors of the civil law
disputed so long and so earnestly that it was
called the controversio controvertissima, 18,
How. 158.) The weight of the judicial au
thorities in England, especially in tbe more
recent cases, is in favor of the doctrine which
excludes the first dav from the ennnt. hirtv
. " 'J

A O
Lc the modfrn rule of construction. (Gea
R, 100 '10.) In this country, although
there may be cases in which the peculiar
words of a statute or contract would require
tho first to be counted, it may 6afely be de
clared as the settled law, universally under
stood and accepted, that a fractional part of
the day from which time is computed cannot
be counted at all.
A lease of land one year from the 1st of
April does not expire until the first day of
Anril fXllnnlnr- Tf n .. I.J : . 1. - 0
of March, if tbe day on which the term began
were not excluded. When a bill is payable
ten days after eight, the day of presentation
is not one of the ten. When the decree of
the court requires an act to be done within
four days, the party cannot be put in contem
pt until the expiration of four whole days af
ter tbe day on which the decree is dated.
When a policy of iusuranco stipulates for two
days' notiee of a fire, tbe day of the fire is
not included. A right by statute to redeem
lands sold for taxes within sixty days after
the sale, means sixty days without counting
the day of sale These are a few of the in
numerable cases to which the American courts
have applied the general principle that, where
time is to be computed from an act done, the
day on which the act is done shall be exclu
ded, unless it is apparent that a different com
putation was intended.
The ca?e under consideration is a stronger
and clearer one for the application of the rule
than either of those I have mentioned.
Though divisions of a dav mav be alW
sometimes to make priorities or give other ad-
amages in private transactions, they are al
ways excluded in nublic ririwpmwo
Wasbb: G53." If the fraction of the dav nn
which the bill in this case was presented of
the Governor cannot be counted as a fraction
and added to the fraction of the day on which
the Ascembly adjourned, (as it manifestly can
not,) iben it must be left out of the count al
together by the plaiu words of the act of Con
gress. The act says that the Governor shall
have three daysnter the bill is presented.
To count the whole of the first day would be
making thfl time commence before the bill is
presented. Indeed, this mode of counting a
part for the whole might be used so as to re
duce the three days allowed by law to one.
Suppose the bill to be presented at the last
minute of the llth dav of Fehruarr- n,l
J m J J hV
Senate to adjourn at the first minute of the
Bith; ia that ease, if we ccunt the two frac
tions for two days, the Governor has, in ef
fect, but twenty-four hours to consider the
bill. The absurdity of this construction may
be made still more annarent bv Minnn?nff h
act to give the Governor only one dav to con
sider and return a bill. In such a case, if
you count the day on which the bill is presen
ted, you leave him no time at all.
The provision of the organic act for Kansas
is copied from the Federal Constitution . The
ten days within which the President is requi
red to return a bill, have never been under
stood to include tho day of presentation.
Though I find no record evidence of the fact
I have very high and respectable authority
for saying that tbe question was raised during
Washington's administration and settled in
full Cabinet council. It was then decided
that the day of presenting a bill was not to be
counte'd as one of the ten; and this rule has
been regarded as the true one ever since,
though there hasseldom, perhaps never, been
any practical occasion for its application.
My' opinion therefore, is, that if the Gov
ernor of Kansas failed to return any bill pas
sed by the Territorial Le
session, such a bill is not a law unless tha
-fvoocujuiy waa-iu sessiou inree days alter the
day on which the bill was presented.
