taw over n ihousnnd vjlumes all packed
and mnrked for Nebraska about a I un
dr. d i f these were to go to ihe pott ollice
at lVbvue. A large box of seeds from
the Patent Office, nlo, were donu up in
small parcels directed lo bis con-tiiueu'.s
in various parts of the Territory. This
is attended "ith no small amount of labor
and vxpctu, and yet at this early stjo
of the tension this vast amount of labor
has been performed by our indtfatiguLle
Delegate. No other member has yet
done as much for bis constituents. How
different this from !nti fossion ? scarcely
a Look tent to the Territory from this
place. The books that Miould liuvo been
sent to us I found piled up litre in the
library ; I will not say for what purpose,
but I can think what I please, liy a vote
of Congies, however, they were all
tmnsfcrid to the new Delegate, which
iimde nome one hop like a cat on hot
bricks. Judge Ferguson is working l.ard
for his constituents and not for himself;
and, by so doing he is growing in fuvor
daily with the body of which be is a
member, as well us with the beads of tho
Department. He has only to be known
in order to be rcrpectcd.
Nebraska has been pretty well repre
sented here, at the seat if Government,
for a few weeks past, in the pcrsous of
our Delegate, Mar.hnl Rankin, John
Parker, jr., M. Snyder, of Omaha, Geo.
Jennings, Judge Cook, Chapman and
your humble correspondent. Ttie Poncas
and Puwuee are aLo represented Ly
their Lruve and chiefs. We will do our
bvM, of course, to impress the coauuuiiity
H'iih the importance of our Territory.
Yektelduy I vh-iled the President of
the I'nitcd butes, und was n l much ur
priced upon fincing him only u man, and
a pn liy old one at that. The lon nine
between his ch aii shaved bps, and the
thick leather blippi r that enclosed hi
rather flat feet, impretd me rather fa
vorably. I liue this rather hoieely, don't-cari-a-tive-nena
in the President as well
as any one else. lie was free and ea-y,
and seemed anxious to Irani its much as
possible alout our Territory 1 think,
howevtr, that he is laboriug under the
erroneous impression that there are many
cliques and parties anion; us.
Having a Utter to the Vice President,
I sent' it to him with my card and was re
ceived in the mo.t courteous n anner He
is a young man, not over 37 years of age,
straight, of moderate size, clean t-haved,
ta-tily dres.td and withal quite a type of
a Southern gentleman. As to bis mental
ability, I knovr nothing, but benerolenc'c
and hoi-pitatity streams out of bis very
countenance. I like hun now, but if I
were a young feminine I should lore him.
Only a few months since there wre
millions in the Treasury of Uncle Sam;
nov the old fellow i bankrupt. By a
vole of the American Congress, bowtwr,
twenty millions of papr dollars are pla
ced iu the vault in order to keep him from
starvation. Many art foolish enough to
suppose that this act was designed lo bene
fit the nation generally. But this was all

of bulfdollnrsfromihemi.it in order to

pay them. Ihs state of things made it im -
peraiiv thut something should be done,
nnd the result was said twenty millions

be benefittid a very little, i directly, the
oljeit of tho-e who made the law was to
bent fit themselves directly.
This panic in the commercial world
has bnd the effect to make the legislators
of the nation less prodigal than ever be
fore. I)y a unanimous vote they invited
the clergy of the City of Wosbingt m to
do their praying f r them gratuitously.
"Saving prudei t men," as the English,
man said. Sage legislators, receving
(3000 each for about three hour work
per ony. tor m.t monins of the year, ana
only pay a Chaplain $500 for the auie
prrijd of time, and require him to preach
ulsoon ihe Sabbath day. What mi enor

DebatiuR Societies. '
We have before called the atten ion of
our readers to the importa ice and utility
of debating lyceuin, as a inMhod for de
veloiing and disciplining ihe intellectual
powers, and for cultivating a correct and
ready method for . communicating our
thoughts a:id expressing our feelings. Iu
no other way, perhaps, can one of the
witver evenings of each week be more
profitably employed. It would, however,
be uu improvement, and a very great one
too, with many delating associations, if
the young and old, inula and fniiule,
wot.ld participate together, a members,
if not ns speaker. 1

tsiuing permanently a dt bating club, is

propositi s, th4 proceedings become spir

We suggest ihe propriety of selecting
living instead of dead questions for debate;
subjects which concern our present duties
and future destinies, rather than thusj
which relate to metaphysical abs Tactions,
or have no importance except in their past
historical reminiscence.
