J. Kecfer. rEit I1 EM OF SENATORS AND AS- SE.MULYMEN. A sensible proposition in that of Mr. Judd, who proposes' in concurrent resolution offered in the Assembly, to amend tlio con-stlttitlon to change the per diem Of member from three to tight dollar.

The present compensation, always too low, wa tlxed nearly a KciK-ratlon hincc, and It In manifestly Inadequate to meet Hie prudent pecuniary demands mude It would little more half their hills at a llrct-elass not el, to say nothiuK of the incidentals that nro iodtspensiihh: In a position of this chnr-ui ter. To ('Xpert that men can leave their and K1' Allmny to spend buc days fur three dollars per day without peeiiniiiry saeritice is unreasonable. The Kmpire Stale is ahlo to pay a just and fair eoinpunsiition, and its fundamental law oiiht to be ho amenoVd as to allow it to be done. The amount proposed by Mr. Judd is not too much and miht be increased to ten dollars without serious i kjcetion.

The Con-stltutionul OmTenUoirof 1HC7 upon a proposition 1o nalce it $1,000 for the hut the rejection of the carried this with It. Members of Congress receive per annum, besides mileage and tbe franking; and it certainly would not tie considered extravagant to allow members of a Stafe I.eylelaturc one-fifth of that sum, without the attending' peruulsitts and privileges. As It Is now, no honest man can afford to aspire to the position of law-maker1, unless he he the possessor of au amplu fortune. If by airy means a man in inodurnti) circumstances Is chosen to either house, ho must either brgv borrow or steal, to pay his legitimate expenses. To do the flrt Is rather humiliating, to depend upon the second Is often Impossible and always embarrassing, ai.d to consent to the latter is doubtless the: resort of too many who have been elected with good intentions and fair reputations, but who hare yielded to the blandishments and seductive Influences of wealth uud moneyed power.

It Is not expected that a larger per diem will make honest men of rascals. A man "vho Is a confirmed rogue will have little regard to the question whether hq Is suitably compensated by the Htnte or not, but will ever be on the alert for schemes that are supposed to hare money In them." But such an amendment will remove the convenient cxeusd that Is now furnished members of an rasy conscience to make themselves whole" bytnUlnf; a little bribe to cover actual expanses. We urge, therefore, the payment of a fair and liberal compensation to members of the Legislature, as well ns all other employes and servants of the State or people the abolition of all fees, commissions, perquisites or other stealing device, and stringent laws for the punishment of bribery and corruption In all its varied forms. in my fceart of heart a favorite efcild, hs aaanej la David tpetffleldi'. and 8ttvw DtCADcskr rrrs TJnrowJ Thetin-manltiee and tWerlalbtin, Illustrated hy a memoir of with rendnlsoenrv.

Buffalo: Breed, Lent ft Co. This, as Is well known, Is the biography of Dickens, for the preparation of which he himself provided before his death. Mr. -Horster was his Intimate life-long friend, and was chosen as bis literary executor. It was the understood with of the great novelist that tbe memories of his life should be given to the world by hfs trusted friend.

In accordance with his directions, all tbe letters and materials of biography which Charles Dickons left were placed in Mr. Forster's hands, and they were very rich so mnch so that the work Is almost an autobiography. One most interesting part of It is actually autobiographical, Dickens having written an account of one painfully trying period of his boyhood, about -which little was known during his life, but which be is found to have almost exactly reproduced In the story of David Copperfleld." No writer, probably, ever drew more from his own life and experiences than Dickens did, and It is that which renders his biography, written with minuteness and with weight, most deeply interesting. Everywhere one can find in his letters, or lu the story of his life, Just where this or that Incident or character or toueh of nature, or humorous picture, in his novels came from, an for. those to whom tho novel of Dickens are a delight, the de- wiixm perpetually renewed and increased.

Whether Mr. Forster's work is to be In two or three volumes, we find no information. The present volume brings down the life-history of Dickens to 1843. It has been handsomely reproduced by Messrs. Lipplncott A with portrait and fac-simlle 111 ust rations.

WIm'i Reminisce nee a. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, has written a book bearing this singular title, "Seven Decades of the Union. The Humanities aad Materialism, Illustrated by a Memoir of John Tyler, with UemlnlsCortcea of some of his Great Co temporaries. jThe Transition State of this Nation; Its Dangers and their Remedy." Tbe most interesting part of this book are the reminiscences, In lftSJ Mr, Wise went to Tennessee to be married, and immediately afterwards spent some days at the home of Andrew Jackson.

Here are some of the points of that visit, and of his subsequent acquaintances with Jackson: Jackson's tact We beard numberless anecdotes of him Illustrating the amerwharaaterisUc of consummate tact He knew that the world, or those who knew him least, counted him of a temperament weak, impassioned. Impulsive, and inconsiderate in action; and, he often turned this mistake as to his character into a large capital of advantage. He was a consummate actor; never, stepped without knowing and marking his ground, but knew that moat men thpught he was not a man of calculations, i This enabled him to blind" them: by his affectation of passion and impulse, and neither Talma, nor Garrick, nor Kemble, nor Kean could excel him in the Frequently, when strangers thought he Was in a towering passion, his whole excitement was deliberately simulated fo effect. For example, when bank committees would come from Philadelphia, or elsewhere, to overwhelm him with memorial apbn the removal of the deposits, and to, represent the crash Of com mercial. credit by his anti-bunk policy, he was fixed in: his plaus, and be knew that thev could not change his purpose, and that he could argue and remonstrate with them only iu vainj and he would lay down his rite to his full height of stature and voice, and seem to foam at the mouth whilst declaiming vehemently against the dangers of a money monopoly, i "Yes," he had be in the desert of Sahara, dying of thirst, than drink from such a fountain of corruption." The committees would retire in disgust, thinking they were leaving a madman, and as soon as tuey weregone ne would resume his pipe, and chuckling, say: "They thought that 1 was mad!" and coolly comment on the policy of "never compromising-ar vital issue; one always ost friends and never appeased eneinhs i 1 Jackson's tbmpkr.

He thought he was to call at the President mansion at ten clock ii. Accordingly, In full panoply of costume, lu coach-and-four, with attendants, grooms, postillions, out-riders, and footmen, at the hour -appointed, he drove up to the front door of the White House, instead of to the State where Mr. McLane was awaiting his arrival, i At that time the President was served bv French cook, and the celebrated Irishman, Jemmy O'Neal, was General Jackson's petted majof -domo. The hour was about the time of General Jackson's finishing puff of the pipe iafter and he smoked as he did every thing else, with all his might!

The President quit smoking, beat the bowl of his pipe in his hand, rose quickly, took hold of the back of his chair, and exclaimed with strong voieey" By the eternal-gods, Jemmy O'Neal, who is thisf Jemmy, with eyes and ears open, and hands ready, was amazedly looking on, when, fortunately, be bethought him of the French cook, and ran for him.

THE LAST MAN OF MEXICAN CAMP. BT JOAiQCIX IIIIXXR.

Front Bcribner Monthly ior January. Mexican Camp was a nest of snow-white miner's tents huddled down in a dimple of the Sierras. If yon had stood near the flag pole in the centre of the camp, on which the stars and stripe were raised or lowered on the arxiral or the departure of tbe Mustang fxpress, the only regular thread connecting the camp with tne outer worm, ana looked intently west, you might have seen, on a day of singular clearness, beyond some new-born cities, the flash of the Pacific in the sun. At your back, mountains black with pine and ceBer then bald and gray with granite, basalt and clndar, thenrwhito with everlasting snow. had made you feel strong and secure of intra slon in the rear.

Close about on tho hillside and in tbe gulch, you had seen trees lifting their limbs, above the heads, ot thou sands 01 men wno Knew ior tne urne no outer shelter; while at your 1 feet in the gulch, and as far down as the eye could follow it. the little mnddy stream struggled through little Beets 01 tin and iron pans, great Mexi can wooden bowls, and through, cradles, toms and sluices. Yon had seen long gray lines of Mexican mules stringing around the mountains, windlbg into the camp with their heavy burdens; you had heard the shouts spiced thick with; oaths, of the tawney packers. Yon had heard the sound of the hammer and ax on every band, for a new city had been born as It were the night before and this was its first struggle-cry and reaching of uncertain All day on cither side the stream sat a wall of men washing for gold. Tbe Mexican and the American were side bj tide that had been breast to breast at Monterey; the lawyer wrought beside his client; the porter found his strong arms made him the superior hereto the dainty gentleman to whose 'wants he had once ministered.

That was a democracy pure and simple Life, energy, earnestness. That was the beginning of a race in life in, which, ail had an even start. What an Impulse it was! It inspired tbe most sluggish. It thrilled tbe most indifferent, dignified and ennobled the basest soul that was. Mexican Camp hati perished, but it has left it lesson-i-a verdict clear and unqualified in faivor of tbe absolute equality of men, without any recommendation of masters.

Each man, peer or peon, bad six feet of ground. Tbat was made a law at, a miners' meeting held around the flag-staff day it was raised, at which Kangaroo Brown presided with uncommon dignity, considering his long term of seviee at Sidney, not to mention tbe many Indiscretions laid to his before leaving his native country at his country's expense for his country's good. It was at first passed tbat a miner should hold five feut only, but a Yankee who had lan uncommon rich claim moved a reconsideration, and without waiting to get a second, made a sicech and put his own motion. 1 This was his speech Snd motion, delivered at the top of his voice: "Boys, 1 go you a loot Detter. Blast it, let's give a fellow enough to he buried in, All those that, say six feet make it manifest by saying ayt." There was a chorus, "The ojejhave it, and I now declare this meeting adjourned tiffn die and the convict chairman descended from tbe pine stump where he bad stood in his shirtsleeves, took up his pick and wan, and divested of bis authority of an hour, entered his claim, and bent his back to the toil, as did the thousands Of men around him.

As a truthful chronicler I am bound to say that Sunday never did much for tho miner on the Pacific. Tho fault, of course, was the mode of "its observance. But there is promise. -The old order of things is passing away; most of tbe miners, too let thislbe said with reverence have passed away with their camps. On that day, at it was, all went to town, arfd the streets became a sea of bearded men.

Not a boy, not a woman in sight. On that day were pcrpretrated nine-tenths of the crimes. Provision for the week were bought, gold diust sold or sent away by express to the dependent Ones at home, and the miner gave himself up often to the only diversions the country aftbrded, curds and The men of tbe Pacific were originally a peculiarly grand body of beroes. The weak of nerve Jiever started, and the weak of body diedf on tho journey there. result was a selection of men mighty for good or evil.

They were unlike an other men. For example, the noisy border ruffian of the Mississippi bar-room or WesternVfrantier hod do counterpart in California. Thevespera- do of the Pacific disdains words. A half- dozen Germans or Irish will make more com motion over tbe price 01 a glass than win a camp of Californians in a misunderstanding tba'. ends in as many lives.

"Are you heeled? then draw," comes quick ss a thought; and unless a sharp negative is thrown in against the question, shot after shot follows till some one falls. "Shootists' of the Pacific also have their rules of tti quette. In thie face of a thousand pictures and publications to the contrary, I protest mat they ranely carry six shooters except hen traveling; and that it Is considered In as bad taste to display a pistol as to enter the drawing-room wearing spurs. A man who wears a six-shooter and bowle-knilc publish himself as a verdant emigrant, and la dospis ed for his display. Nor is the desperado of the Pacific the bearded, uncouth ruffian he is represented.

He is, in fact, loud neither in dress nor in manner; he is partial! to rench boots. batronizes the barber. lias even been known to wear kid gloves, and is in outward appearance a gentleman. Mexican Camp nourished like ia palm for many years, then, like all p'accr-minlog camps, it began to decline. The gold was washed, irom tne best part of the gulch, and tne nest men or the eamp, one 'by one, returned to their homes in other lands, or re tired to camm.deeper in the mountains, as their fortunes directed.

As the ISaxon went out, the Celestial came in, but gave no new uiooa to tue camp, vacant cabins and adobe chimneys stood all up and down the gulch, and lizards Banned themselves upon them undisturbed. I The butcher, the great autocrat or the mining to come around with his laden mules but twice a week in stead of twice a day. A bad sign for the camp. tsut there was one cabin that was never va cant; it stood apart from town, ail tbe brown hillside, and a it was one of tbe first so it promised to be th last of th eamp. It al ways bad an ugly bull-dog tied to the door.

It waa even said that Forty-nine was on fair terms with the dog at she door; but as this was doubted oy the man who Kept tbe only saloon now re maining in Mexican Camp, and wbo was con sequently an authority, the report was not believed. 1 Let it be here observed that when a minlnir camp sinks to tbe chronic state of decav that wis now presented, the men ramalnlno' In It aa arnre, are laierv, srw bv no means rrore- sentative miners.

Tbe candidate did not stay to urge his claims, and I know but one more incident that broke the dreary monotony In the life of this selfish and singular man. One dark night two men of questionable character were found in the trail, trying to drad; themselves toilogem. They were riddled with shot like a toni-lron.

They had been prospecting aronnd for The Gopher's gold', and they bad received their "baptism of lire" in attempting to descend his chimney.

Yet the best thoughts are never uttered; often because no fit words are found to array them in; oftener because no fit ear is found to receive, tbem. A sailor broke silence: "Looks like a Fcjefe camp on a South Sea island." "Robinson Crusoe the last man of Mexican Camp the last rose of summer." This was said ry a Voung roan who had sent some verses to the Hangtown Weekly.

"Looks to me, in its crow's nest of chapparel, like the lucky ace of spades," added a man who sat apart contemplating the wax under the naH of his right forefinger. The school-master here picked up tho are of hearts, drew out his pencil and rapmiy. There!" he "cried, flourishing the card. "I put it at an ounce a day for eighteen years, and that is the result" The figures astonished them all. It was decided tbat the old miser had at least a multi-load Of gold in his cabin.

Not long after this it was discovered that The Gopher was not at work. The it came out that he was very 111, and that old. Forty kl. v. unit? um seen CUICI UH uiuui.

Early one frosty morning in thcTall folio ing, old Forty-nine Jimmy sat by the door of tne, only saloon at iiogem. ne ncia an oia ball-dog by a tow-string, and both man and dog were pictures of distress as they shivered from the keen cold wind that came pitching down from the snow-peaks. As 1 approach ed, the man shivered till his teeth cnaueroa, and, clutching at bis string, looked helplesi ly over his shoulder at the' uncompromising bar-keeper, wbo had just arisen and opened the door to let out the bad orders of his den The dog shivered, too, and came np and est down close enough to receive the sympathetic band of old Forty-nine on his broad bowed bead. This man was a relic and a wreck. Nearly twenty years of miner's life and labor the mountains, interrupted only by periodical sprees, governed In their duration solely by the results of bis last 'clean bad made him one of a type of men known only to the Pacific.

True, he had failed to negotiate with tbe savage cinnamon-headed vender oi poison; out ne was no Deggar. wassnu ply a failure to obtain a Wall street accotn modation in a small way. I doubt if the bristle-haired bar-kecper himself questioned the honesty of Forty-nine. It was merely a question of ability to pay, and the decision of the autocrat had been promptly and firm ly given against tbe applicant. Pcrbftps.

In strict justice to the red-haired wretch that washed his tumblers and watched for victims tbat frosty morning, I should, state that ap- Fcarances were certainly sgainst Forty -nine, Is nothing at all against a brave, frugal gold-miner, lifting his heart out of and over Hie sierras to a group awaiting him away; in the East, to be found wearing patches on tils clothes, snd even patches on the- patches; in fact, 1 have known many wbo, coupling a quaint humor with economy, woreneatly stitched on tbat portion of a certain garment most naoie to wear ana tear wnen tne owner has only boulders and hard benches to sit upon tbe last week's flour sack, bearing tms Inscription In bold black letters: "Warranted superfine, fifty pounds." But' Forty- nine nsa not even a paten, therelore no nour-sack, erao, no flour. The most certain sign of the total wreck of a California miner is the absence of top-boot. When all other signs fail, this one is Infallible. You can with tol erable certainty, in the placer miners, tell tow a miner's claim is paying by tbe condition and quality of his top-boots. Forty-nine hsd no boots, only a pair of slippers improvised from "what had been." and between the ton of these and the legs of his pantaloons there was no compromise across the naked, cold- blue ankles.

These signs, totrether with a DUttonless blue shirt that showed his balry bosom, a frightful beard, and hair beneath a hat that drooped like a wilted palm-leaf, were the circumstantial evidence from which Judge BarKeep made his decision. it would perhaps be more pleasant lor. us all if we could know that such men were a mco to there never wss a time when they were petted by pretty sisters, and sat, pure and strong, tbe central figures of Christian at least we should like to lb ink that they grew upon tbe border, and belonged there.

As a rule, ifl any great struggle Involving any degree of strategy -and- strength, the small nose must go to the wall.

Most likely It was one of things that naturally, and therefore correctly, adjnst themselves. When these boarded men in bine shirt rested their burden at the open grave, they looked at each other, and there wss an unpleasant pause. Perhaps tbey thought ot the Christian burial service in other lands, and felt that something was wanting. At last Forty-nina stole np dose to'tho bead of the irrava. healtated.

ansVUftod aside his old slouch hat, and looking down Into the earth, said, In a low and helpless way: "Earth to earth and dust to dost!" hesitated again and then continued: "The mustard and clover seed are but little things, and no man can tell the one from the other; yet bnry them in the uppermost pa its of the earth snd each will bring Its kind perfect and beautiful and and man Is surely more thsn a little Seed and snd;" here he broke down utter- ly snd knelt and kissed the face of the dead, i The men looked away for awhile, as If to objects in tbe horizon, and then, without looking at each other, or breaking silence, lowered the unshapely box, csneht up the spades, and found a positive renal in hesp-lng the grave. Then the coroner, as In duty bound, or, Ss i be expressed It, "as required by the law In such esses made and provided," directed his attention to a- search for the buried treasure. Yeast-powder boxes, oyster csns' and ssr- dine-boxes, old boot and quicksilver tanks, were carried out to the light and Inspected -without results. "In the straw of the bunk," fsid the coroucr, find blankets, bunk, and; si raw were carried to tho sun; but not sn; ounce of gold. To make sure against Intrusion of the ill-dlsposcd, the unwearied cor-, oner slept on the spot.

The next day, the hearth was taken up carefully, piece by piece, but only crickets clad in black, and little) pink-eyed mice met the eager eyes of tho men. At last some ono suggested that as the hard-baked eartbem floor was tho last place in wblch one would look for hidden treasures, that was probably the first and Only place in which The Gopher had buried his gold. The thought made the coroner enthusiastic. He sent for picks, and If I must tell the truth, and tho whole truth, he sent tor whisky also. By sunset tbe entire earth-era floor had been dug to the depth of many feet and emptied outside tho door.

Not a farthiug's worth of gold was found. The next day tbe chlmutV was taken down. Lis-ards. dust but nothing more. 1 am bound to say that about this time, the memory ofthe roan just taken to the hill wu held in but little respect, and that a good of bad name, so far as tho over-zealous coroner waa concerned, depending entirely on the results ot the seacch.

But one more thing remained to bo done, that was to remove the cabin. Shingle by shingle, log by log, the structure was leveled. Wood-rata, kangaroo-mice, horned-toads, a rattle-snake or two tbaC bad gone Into winter quarters under the great logs, and that was aft. Not an ounce of gold was found In the last cabin of Mexican Camp. The fiat wss then staked off as mining ground by enterprising strangers, and tbey began in tbe center to sluice it to the beat rock.

They sluiced up to the gulch for month, unt.il the whole hillside was scalped ss It were, to the bone, and the trcasure-hun tcrs were bankrupt, but not even so much sr the color of tbe dead roan's gold was founds Hogem was disgusted, and Tbe Gopher waff voteda worse man dead than i It began to be noticed however, that Forty" Dine had mended somewhat in lils personal appearance since the death of the Gopher and it was whispered that he knew where tho treasure was. Some even went so far as to say that be bad the whole pile of It In hi possession. "Some of these nights he'll come up missing," said the butcher, striking savagely at hi steel across his block. In Justice to Hogem It must be observed sbe was not without grounds to go upon in her sus picions. For was not Forty-nine near mim at his death! And if ho could get nl6 dog why not get his gold also? vjpl1 One night Forty-nine, holding tight tow string, shuffled np to mo in tho saloon.

and timidly plucking my sleeve, said: "Going away, I bearf" "Near to Boston?" i "May be.1' "Well. then, look here: comeMth me!" snd with tho old doc bumping his hesd against his heels, be led tbe way out of tb door down tbe gulch to his cabin. He pulled tlio latch string, entered, and finally struck a light Sticking the candle In a whisky bottle tbat stood on the greasy table in tba center of the earth ern floor, he picked up the tow-string and pointing to the bunk In the corner, we sat down together arid the old dog rested his nose between the old man' legs. After looking abont the cabin in nervoua silence fors time, Forty-nine arose with look of resolution, handed me his 'string, stepped to a men in in wan, and taking an old crev-icing-knifo, strnck it In stoutly, above the latch. i "This means something," said I to myself.

"Here will be a revelation," and I confess that a vUion ofThe Gopher's gold-bag cross ed my mind with; tempting vividness. After a while the old man came hack, took np the whisky bottle, removed the candle from tha niche, and holding itnp between hi face and the light, wblch jie held in the other hand. seemed to decide some weighty proposition, then turned snd offered It to. me -In silenc. As I declined his kindness, he hurriedly took long draught, replaced the candle, then came and sat down close st my side, took hi string, and the old dog again thrust hi no oe ween nis Knees.

"You see." and the man leaned over to me, and began in a whisper snd a strangeness of manner that suggested that his mind waa wanoenng. i on see, all com ont iroat Boston together: Godfrey, tbst'sTbe Gopher, Wllson.that's Curly, and I. Tfalmrsdldn't go right with me there, after I came away, so I just left them drift here. Lost my 'grip' aa they say, didn have sny 'snap' sny more, a people call it Godfrey snd "Wilson got On very well, though, till Wilson was killed." tV'TIU the Gopher kilted biro?" I added. wen, now, utere s.

woere it sua oia Forty-nine, end he shuddered. Th dog. too, seemed to grow nervous, and crowded bi ugly head up tighter between th old man' leg. I Inartistic as it la, I mnst add that here ha again handed me tbe string, and rising solemn-' ly, went deliberately through the process of removing the candle, and contemplating tha, content of tbe bottle. Again I declined hla offer.

From that same door of the northeast room of the house near which the happy bridal party sat but a few months before, her eosBn waa borne to the grave dug in tbe garden for her remains. Following the pall-bearers came General Jackson, with left hand in the arm of General CsrrolL holding his cane in his right band, not grasping it with bis hand over the head, nor with the thumb up, but with tbe back of the hand Op and holding the point of the cane forward as he would have held a sword; and where he (topped at the pile of clay Its point rested on the clods.

I The persons who had hold of her Im mediately released her and left her sitting over the fresh clods, weeping, and there she remained, hindering the buriaL until, after awhile some of her friends persuaded her to leave the side of the grave, and let the cer emony go on The body was let down, "dust to duBt" was said, the grave was filled and shaped into the common mound which covers poor mortality, and General Jackson was led away; by. General, Carroll, back to the northeast room.

The crowd followed, and we got in near to the chief mourner. Arriving fairly into tne room, ana pausing a lew moments. I be looked around him, and, raising his voice, I said: I "Friends and neighbors. I thank von for tne nonor you nave aone to tne sainted one, wnose remains now repose in vonder mva.

Could he? The an swefr to the question illustrates his leading i. pv.ij Luiuauibj'. In due time he went- to Washington City. and was inaugurated President of the United Statjca. He took up his abode in the White House.

His bed was placed in the appropriate chamber. Prominent on the wall of that chamber, right opposite the pillow of the bed, was hung a picture of his wife placed there, as he himself said, so that it might be the first object to meet his eye when his lids opened in the and the gaze to leave when they closed in sleep at nignu JACKSON AND AMOS KB1TOA1X. And yet, soon after he was a lodger there, that rdom was the seene of his private con ferences at night, in which Amos Kendall was his chief scribe and amanuensis, to write the; broadside editorials of the Globe under bis dictation and instruction, but not with bis diction. He was a better writer than his scribe, his scribe a better writer than he. He would lie down and smoke- and dictate his ideas as well as he could express them and Amos Kendall wdnld write a paragraph fnd read it.

That was not the thing; many imes 1 tbe scribe would write and rewrite again and again, and fail to "fetch a com pass" of tbe At last, by alteration and correction, getting nearer and nearer to it, be would see it, and be himself astonished st its masterly power. General Jackson needed such an amanuensis intelligent icarnea, lnausinous as Mr. is. end all was, He could think, but could not write; be know what nerve to touch, but he was no surgeon, skilled in the instru metit of dissection. Kendall was.

But how came Amos Kendall there, in General Jack son's sanctum, where his saint's picture hung! one nag. oeen most maiignea Dy Amos nen dall, the editor of Clay's leading journal in Kentucky, during tbe canvass. Kendall had called her Aunt Rachel with the corn-cob pipe and had exaggerated Robard's wrongs inu nacners railings in every term of re proach and ridicule. There was the chief enemy who had maligned her, there hung tne picture or tne wounded saint, and there was the husband avenger, who volunteered a vow at her grave! This was mighty strange! not so, nowever, to wose wbo knew General Jackson well. No man was cooler in his cal culations than he was.

He would sometimes seem to fight most rashly, but no one ever knew him to fight at all unless there was i stake up worth fighting for. Kendall had been a poor Yankee school master, and was a protege of Mr. Clay. He had been but a hireling, and was bnt a pen ior tne political majtce or Mr. Clay's jtarty.

What had he (President Jackson) to gam oy ngnung tue pen, me mere amanuensis, when his aim was to slay the prompter of all his wrongs? Kendall, for cause, left the fallen bouse of Clay, and fled to the rock of power and strength. He knew much, conld reveal much, could deliver np all the enemy's armory. He was indefatigable, unscrupu lous ana ana able, tie was the very weapon for a pugnacious patron to use, and conld sutest strike his arch enemy he had been the arch enemy's own. General Jackson then could throw away prejuaice, passion, vengeance itself, and vows, and coolly take Amos to that chamber. in presence of that picture, though he had applied the "scavenger's daughter" of torture to "Aunt Rachel!" Amos Kendall was bis man." and he could and did use him with tremendous effect to destroy bis first patron, Mr.

Clay. Fasrk's Portrait or Bismarck. The following is from Jules Favre's new book Count Bismarck seemed to be full of vigor his tall figure, his powerful head and strongly-marked features impressed one with a sense of strength at the same time, his manners were stamped with simplicity and geniality. His bearing was grave and courteous, entirely free from affectation or roughness, From the commencement of our Intercourse h' manner was friendly and communicative, and this tone he maintained throughout. Doubtless he considered me, as diplomatist, entirely unworthy of him but he had the politeness to endeavor to hide this feeling, tend was- apparently touched by my sincerity.

Aa for ne. I was at once struck by the clearness of his by bis good sense, and by the originality of his mind. His freedom from all pretentiousness was no less remarkable. As a man of business I found bim perfect, recognizing facts as they exist, interested only in practical and positive solutions, indifferent to TryUiitg that did not lead to some practical result. The Immense power which he has wielded has made him neither haughty nor vain but he holds that power firmly, and he cares not to hide the sacrifice wnicn lie nas maac to retain it.

Nervous and impressionable, he is not. nlwavs ahle tn 'snnnreBS his imnetuositv. I bad beard much of his extreme but be never deceived me; although he often wounded me. While repressed by his persis tency and hardness, in great things well as! small, I ever found him exact and punctilious." Tmi Tnr Mixes or Utah.

Ah, Senator, the people see with a clearer vision It is not at all difficult for them to perceive that, between your votes upon the measures named, and your maiden deposit in the Bowling Green Savings 3ank, there may be a very intimate and Important connection. Probably William M. Tweed can see no connection between his alleged swindling operations, and his regular deposits in the Broadway Bank, a disclosed iv Mr.

TU- matter is at all suspicions, and that be claims to De exceedingly anxious lor a Judicial investigation. And yet the people' do not bold William M. Tweed entirely guiltless. Mr. Wood declines to explain his suspicious bank account to tbe Senate and the but announces his willingness and anxiety to do so before a Senate investigating committee and upon motion of Senator Tieman such a committee was ordered.

But, howeverthorongUly the committee may be satisfied the public will not be so unless the evidence of innocence be produced. A dark-fcintern report will not do. The people have, under the circumstances, a right to be made acquainted with all the facts. Those who arc personally acquainted with the accused men nponwhose word we rely, and who have no cause to the honorable gentleman state that he is known at home as a poor man, against whom collections cannot be enforced. Tbat a man bearing this character should be able to deposit in a New York city bank upwards of during a legislative career of two years, is a strongly suspicious circumstance.

We do not wish to seem unnecessarily harsh towards the senator from the Thirt ieth. He is a gentleman with whom we never have spoken, but of whom we have bad a remarkably good opinion. But this matter of legislative corruption has been talked about so much and no long, and people have become so thoroughly convinced of the necessity of doing something to expose and check it, that wo can do no lees than to act upon the principle of a grand inquest, end te hold every man presumptively guilty until the suspicious circumstance of his case are cleared np. We are not without hope that Senator Wood will be able to place himself right before tbe people, though we must confess that tbe case sgainst him has an ugly look, and that he has. not helped it by his explanation of yesterday.

The latest attempt to make a machine which can be sustained In the air for a lorsg period, and moved in any direction at the will or tue operator, has been made by a Pbiadel phia mechanic, who has been experimenting ior iour years. we were present at a private examination of tho model Wednes day.

The model embraces a cigar-shaped bal loon, twelve feet long by six in diameter, an; tue car and machinery are suspended. copper globe, one foot in diameter, is filled with compressed air, communicating through a hollow rod with a hollow engine which drives three paddles on each side. When the compressed air is liberated the paddles are anven at any degree or velocity, and ean pro pel the machine at a speed of eight miles an hour. Tbe paddles can be depressed and raised, and thus act as tbe steering apparatus, The success of the model was astonishing. Tbe flying machine moved majestically through the air, sometimes )n a circle of the room, sometimes in a straight line, and again revolving on an imaginary pivot- instantly obeying the touch of the operstor.

Mr. judson claims lor his machine that, un like tbe balloon, it does not require expendi ture 01 Daiiaat to rise or toe loss of gas to de scend. After inflation tbe float is untouched, and the paddles can run it either up or down at an angle of thirty degrees. It is the intention of Mr. Judson to build a larger model for exhibition In one of our targe balls.

All the profits thence derived are to oe stnctiv arm lea to tne construction of a large real flying machine strong enough to carry a man, and Mr. Judson is hopeful that 11 the public sustains blm why tbe ma cuine win sustain mm also. rnua. ixtt. German Opinion of Amkhican Chab- Acter.

Jefferson and Calhoun are representatives of the former Franklin and Webster repre sentatives of the latter. At the time of the French revolution the South was radical, revolutionary and anti-Christian the North was conservative aod it was only the growth of the slave Interest which worked the change In public sentiment in the two sections, and made the North progressive and republican, and the South reactionary and conservative.

Tbe fact of the existence of slavery in the South did not prevent the thinking men -there from fore seeing and declaring that with the fall of slavery corresponding change and modification In other relations and Institutions must of necessity follow. As soon a the momentary period ot the a A lux barbarian! of these vicious classes and tbe demagogue has passed, bold and logical thinkers will insist upon these corresponding modifications. The youth will recall the earlier traditions of freedom, and ere long we may look to find many of the most earnest riands of human emancipation snd freedom among tne ooutnem people. a- Thb Origin ot Sijtlock. A correenond- ent of the Jewish Chroniete calls attention to the fact that the origin! of Shaken nea re's Shylock wa a Christian and not a Jew.

He quotes from the eleventh book of GregortJ Lett's Biograpby of toxto V. in proof of tisi. A Roman merchant named SechL heard that Admiral Francis Blake had conquered St. Domingo, and communicated th new to a Jewish merchant namad Ceneda. 1 he latter wa so confident in the falseness of the news.

Governor Hoffman has approved the Charter Amendment bill, and it has become tbe law. Under its provisions a special election Is to be held on Tuesday, the sixth of February, to till the various offices whoso terms expired wfth the close of tbe year 1S71. The Qovernor has earned the gratitude and Rood will of the people of. Buffalo of all parties lH the promptness with which he signed this bill.

Many of his Democratic friends were.of the opinion that he would either veto or at least withhold It, and let it become law by constitutional limitation. Ills artiznnS were greatly surprised to hear ysterday that he had already given it his approval. The people of this city fire certainly great obligations to Assemblyman Alberger for the promptness he has shown In this matter. On the very day the bill was reported to the House from the Senate, by his personal exertions ho had tho rules suspended, the bill referred to the committee of the whole, reported back to the House, ordered to a third reading, put upon Its final passage, passed, enrolled and transmitted to the Governor. Its progress through the Senate was less rapid, for, having originated there, it had to be subjected to a more rigid and critical examination.

In Just ten days after the opeulng of the session, nearly half of which haa been spent In vacation, tbe bill receives executive approval, and the Buffulo Tammany Ring: a most significant and stinging rebuke. THE CASE OP TO EES. A desperato effort Is to be made to acfjnit Stokes of thecrlineof murder, with which he is charged by the coroner' Jury. The prisoner evinces an indifference and coolness with reference to the csime and It conee-quences, that might be expected in oner Confident of Innocence and certain of. Justification, ne protest that he Is not guilty of a crime, and strenuously object to being called a murderer.

Ho claims that there are fact to be made public at the proper time that will, beyond all question, secure hi discbarge. It Is difficult fo Imagine what these facta may be. One fact hi evident, and can not be controverted, Stokes killed Flk, and committed tbe deed in a most cowardly and fiendish manner, and if his crime 1 not premeditated murder, and without provocation, then 1 there no meaning in language or virtue In our statutes. Great reliance Is placed upon precedents that the records of our courts furnish to govern this case. Chief among these 1 the Me-Farland case, whose doliberate slaughter of Mr.

Richardson, In as savage and unprovoked a manner as was the assault of Stokes, was held to be ne crime. The case of Mrs. Fair is another of this character, although she Is yet fully acquitted, but doubtless will be. Stokes has secured the Services of Mr. 'Gra ham, who defended Mc Farland, and nothing will be left undone that money and influence will procure to save the assassin from the gal lows.

It is intimated that his defense-will be that ne was made desperate by prosecution and pcrsecatioo, and that homicide waa lustl liable under tbe circumstances, Weak and indefensible a this position experience has shown that tbe craft of lawyers and the ma nlpnlatlon of courts often defeat the ends of Justice and the guilty escape punishment. Upon these Stoke doubtless relies for a Tin-dication of hi conduct. Ma GsoisiW.
