I am bound, however, to notice tbe public acti, whether brought lo my at tent ;.m or not and I find among tbe public lawa, an ac'. entitled "An act to reatore the credit of the State, and facilitate the eooatraeiion of oar unfinished Railroad," ratified Feb. 5, 1870, which aetborisea, and even re quires titidcr heavy penalties the defend- . . ; 1 , , , . , , . . art, and certain oPter Itailrnad Presidents to do tba verv iliiiiss wbicb 1 urn asked to prevent biro frofD doing. Of course, then, this act must put out of tlie y, before the plaintiff can get liia order. Let aa then examine ibe Act. Cer tainly rliere can be so objectioii to the ti tle. 1 wo very (audible purposes an X- pressed in it, and In th of tin m within the cope of legislative power to wit : "To restore tbe credit ol' lite State, and to fa cilitate tbe construction of our unfinished Railroads" The aTl reels on coneti lutional obligation :the other is a matter ol policy, addieseei to t he discretion.

To this requirement, I presume, there can be no ebjectiot as accountability is incident to all trusts aad ag--ucies. The other requirement i "to return to the Public Treasurer, subject to the joint order of the Governor -and Superin tendent of Public Works, aa hereinafter prescribed, all bond, of the State, which have been Iwaed under arrry awtbortty 4 law, and which remain iu the hands of any snch President, or other officer, un sold or undisposed of; or iu case any sack bonds have been sold nr exchanged for money or other securities, the said President or other officer shall deposit in tbe Publie Treasury sm b mouey, pro ceeds ar aeeoriti, or so much thereof, ae be bav net actually erauifl-V upon, bis This h dejabtlee tk obnoxiouB pravi ajaai --obnexi.ls K lie pbtiudl aa it aompeL the Ssttndant, ueer the tsjp Ity BJSJ J ef i;r..isBiinl l"r ereooeaience, be eery things, which tbe plain n J m "-- plains be is about to do.

What causes led to this Legislative in tervention in the management of the af lairs of the railroad Co. are not aet forth in tbe act, aud it is needless to inquire.

In the first place, how is it that Qeneral But ler a member of the House, could appeal as the professional advocate of another member who have sullied the honor of tha House ? Mr. Butler was one of the in jured p r-ovu, and n was his duty to have stood by Hon lie. Whan he spoke of hi clienr, are we tn assume that he was paid lor bis services ? The New York TPiSnne is yet more sevrr upon Whittemore's eonrse and speaks oi him as be deserves in tbe fol lowing paragraph : Mr. B. F. Whittcmore, on Wednesdav. appealed to l"n;eucy of tba H-mse f r more time to prepare his defence, tie employed the lime sympathetically greet ed in effort to escape the penalties of his misdemeanor. Me telegraphed his r-.a ignation, and when he rose yesterday frr tbe House to explain his conduct the Speaker decided he was not and could not speak. Tba resolution of e-pulsion was changed to. one of cenrfire and unan imously adopted. That, by a shabby trick and a second insult to tbe House, Mr. Whittemore escaped the full penalty of bis offense; but at the expense of ad ditional disgrace. Tbe man who could offer such excuses aa bis for selling tbe appointment is bi, gift, i the ceJy ataa who could he capable of an appeal for de lay en tbe ground of time to prepare his defence and uae it intead to put himself beyond tba absolute need of defence. TEARS. - a -v i't " u e J jpi . : . ii Tbe principal element, the prime Ingre dient, to to say of a tear is water; this water, upon dissolution, contains a few hundreth part of substance called mucus, aud a small portion of salt, of aoda of phosphate of lime, anj of phosphate of ) to ,hU MVor whcD Wied for trmn ooa.

A very little fluid is nec essary to keep tbe eye clear and clean ; bur here again we mast admire tbe won derful mechanism which works tba hu man body, for it is to be observed ibat when, through accident or hurt, the eye bail bas ueed of more water thau usual to cleanse it, nature .at ouce turns ud a more abundant supply of tears. Thus, for instance, when a grain of dust, or an insect creeps into tbe eve. tha eyelids fill and run over at once with tears, and these .S not ouiy ain viaie itie pain, out also wueu the object is small enough, carry it away down the small conduits already noticed. The same thing occurs wbeu either smoke, tow vivid light, or too intense cold ob scures the sight tears at once corue to our relief and protect the eye from harm. W ii If regard now to other tears those we mean which proceed from m ral in stead of physical causes tbe explanation to Ire given of then is a prosy and mate- rid one. Tears are caused both by the sudden and rapid flow ot blood to the h'-ad aod bv cxceeiv.e nervous excilo- lu -nt. Tbey are moat frequent with wo men and children, whose nervous organi at ion is less strong titan I hat ef men Among men, it is those of sanguine or nervous temperature who weep mast of ten. Lymph .tic natures on the contrary, and people of bilious temperature rarely weep at all ; the former because I hey have commonly but Htlle sensibility, aud the latter because tbey usually have firm control over their feelings. When. th r fore, a maa of lymphatic r bilious i e in pe rai lire is seen to lied tears under amotion, one may feel sure that the in nermost nerves of his heart have been wruhg, and one must bow one's head in respect before a man who pane urns- be iatenea.
