Gen. Houston's Expedition to Mexico.
We understand that General Houston, immediate

an expedition into Mexico with a company of four

A SPECIMEN OF CORRUPTION.
The wholesale bribery operation carried on by
the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad Company,
with the Wisconsin Legislature, is one of the
darkest, damning stains upon a legislative body
upon a State that lias ever been brought to
light A million of dollars in stock or bonds
was distributed to a majority of the members,
for the sole, purpose of purchasing legislation favor
able to the interest of the railroad company, and
to the Black "Republican" GuVernor, Coles
Bashford,who was elected with a majority of the
Legislature, on the Maim- law-Free -oil-Bleeding
Kansas-Free-wool issues. $50,000 w as presented to
quiet h:s conscience, and rut a stop to a threat

in order, we suppose, to make all hunk, insisted
that $16,000 of the amount should be paid in rsA,

Important to Scientific Men. In the
course of his summing up, in the case of Retts vs.
Cligfford, tried before Lord Campbell and a Special
jury, at Warwick Assizes, on the 2d instant,
his lordship noticed that a scientific witness having
asked his opinion as to whether he was bound to
attend, upon being served with a subpoena, he
would say that a scientific witness was not bound
to attend, and ought not to be subpoenaed, it ho
knew any question of the fact he might be com-

an interest for till physicians or other learned men
who maybe called to give testimony as experts in
courts of justice. Acccording to the principle
here laid down by Lord Campbell, which corres
ponds with that which we know has heretofore
been considered as correct by good authorities, al-
though not always regarded in the courts, the
Uerc payment of the witness fee does not entitle

case. If the witness knows anything about the'
facts in the case, of course he must attend and testi

to give his opinions, he may do as he pleases
about putting hnnsolt at the mercy ot the counsel.

young moon, and eie they hud reached the front
of the State House, the young woman had dried
her weeping tears; and the young man found him
self the companion of a fascinating young woman
with a Grecian face, a sparkling black eye, and
hair which more than rivalled the wing of the
raven in glossy blackness.
The parties then passed down Park street mall,
and lingering for a few minutes rest took a scat on
one of the benches, near the corner of Park street.
The striking of the clock marked the hour of ten.
This reminded them that they must leave to their
homes. rIhe young man says that he escorted her
to the residence of a well knowu citizen, not far
from Pemberton Square where he left her, as he
supposed! ringing the door bell. When he reach
ed his rooms he found that his portmonnaie was
missing it contained S21 in batik bills ami three
one dollar gold pieces.
This morning the victimized young man palled
at the house where he left his tearful friend, but
it is scarcely necessary to add that no such person

be found. He is of the opinion that his pocket
was penetrated by the gloveless hand of his fair
acquaintance while they were seated on Park
street mall, although he .- toutly avers that they sat
at that respectful distance from each other which
seemed proper for their new and singular relation
to each other. He also says that the sermon and
the adventure will be a lesson for life to him.

8B. Tlie Santa Cruz Sentinel gives the follow
ing account ofa method adopted recently in that
town to overcome the objections of an obstinate
juror :
Persuasion ami starvation are the approved com
mon law methods of producing the above result; but
a novel method was lately tried in this town. Bv
some means, a fellow-juror, an utter stranger to all
his brother juror, was placed upon the jury,
who dissented from the verdict agreed to
by the other 11
The
V came
to a
joint
conclusion of guilt without delay, but the stranger
pertinaciously held out against them. After an
hour of argument, with no avail, it was at last pro
posed that the jury should return a verdict "guilty
by 11 jurymen, who believed the other one to be a
confederate of the prisoner, and as great a rascaL"
This ended it; stranger saw 20 vigilance commit
tees in his mind's eye, and in five minutes the jury
until. imously tendered a verdict of guilty.
