The Spencer investigation was taken

ed. In every material point he swore
directly to the reverse of his deposi

contents, and accused the Alabama

were well known gentlemen of good
repute. The investigation will be con

About Lamar Lamar will turn out
to be the most dangerous man to the
Republican party in the present Con
gress. He has that supreme wisdom
of the politician ability to know when
to hold his tongue, and strength en
ough to hold it. He is shrewd, steady,
alert, cautious, prompt and wonderful
ly strong. He is a man of fascinating
address. He has the stately courtesy
of a Hidalgo of the Moorish conquest,
and is as communicative as Private
Dalzell. He is all simplicity, and con
descension, and frankness, and defer
ence ; and if I had my way, I would
trust him with everything the Repub
lican party owns in the world as quick
as I w.ould trust my hand in a sweetly
purring buzz-saw. He is the Lucifer
of the rebellious hosts. Overhaul your
Paradise Lost, and, when found, make
a note. Editor Comly of the Ohio State
Journal.
The moon shed a silver sheen on all

ing beauty, her bosom heaving as the
gentle zephyr swept over; sylvestrian
harp-8tiirjgj,& wakened by the breath
or nature, broke forth in strains of the
sweetest music. She sat beside him
on a rustic seat; her hair falling in rich
wayes down over her shoulders, and
her head resting on his breast, as she
looked up imploringly into his face and
beseechingly , said: "Please tie my
shoe."
