li HELEN Concluded.) It was at the close of a hot, sultry day, that THE EAGLE. BAIPKPAV EYKWIHG, JULY 9. Publishing Office, 39 Fulton street 3d Story. A. Source of Trouble.

The Federal press finds itself in a very delicate position in regard to the veto power in general, but more particularly as respects the exercise of it by President Tyler. That such a power is granted in express terms to the E.xec tivo they dare not deny, and it would avail them nothing if they did for with all their ingenuity subtlety of construction, they cannot obliterate the seventh section of the first article from the fair face of the Constitution. The most they can do, therefore, is to call it an exceedingly delicate and over nice sort of power one whose exercise, in any event, is fraught with considerations and consequences of so tremendous and fearful a character as to induce any man to abstain from it. And they go on to talk about the criminality of opposing the declared will of Congress the representatives of the people, as though Congress were the Government, out and out and the Executive department, instead of being a co ordinate branch, was a mere cypher a nullity, or, as Mr. Clay would say, a mere snap a flash in the pan." It is easy to sec that such refining a3 this would annihilate every check and balance to be found in the Constitution, and degrade the President into a mere automaton a plaything in the hands of the two houses.

Can any one suppose that such was the design of the fra mers of the Constitution, and that, in conferring this power upon the Executive department, they never intended it to be exercised We opine not. The necessity for its use is implied That retired and dignified statesman, Henry Clay, whose valedictory in the Senate breathed nought save peace and "good will for all men and the most unbounded respect and courtesy towards his political opponents, delivered him self of the following gem at the recent Kentucky barbecue Whigs arouse from the ignoble supine ness which encompasses you awake from the lethargy in which you lie bound cast from you that unworthy apathy which seems to make you indifferent to the fate of your country arouse, awake, shake of the dew drops that glitter on your garments, and once more march to Battle and to Victory. You have been disappointed, deceived, betrayed shamefully deceived and betrayed. But will you therefore also prove false and faithless to your country, or obey the impulses of ajust and patriotic indignation As for Captain Tyler, he is a mere snap aflash in the pan pick your Whig flints and try your rifles again." No one can doubt, after this, the perfect sincerity of Mr. Clay's professions, though a friend at our elbow suggests that such language towards the Chief Magistrate of the nation would look much better if it came from a broken down political intriguer, haranguing a mob from a stump, with a gourd of hard cider in his hand.

Sneaking. The Aurora man charged us, the other day, with copying five of his jokes without credit. We denied it, and challenged him to specify the said jokes He could n't do it. but after thinking the matter over three days, produced the following: The Brooklyn Eagle denies that he stole only five" of our jokes in one day. Perhaps so there may have been just half a dozen of them." The above settles a question of gender the Brooklyn Eagle is a he." The truth is.

we aim at scrupulous punctilio in giving credit for jokes and everything else which we copy from other prints but when we read paragraphs commencing An Eastern paper says," or A Western editor says," we conclude that the editors have actually said the things imputed to them and the affair of which the Aurora complains has probably happened (if at all) in this way. Really, the man must be poor indeed who would condescend to steal the Aurora's jokes Videlicit: From the N. Y. Aurora of Saturday, July 9, 1842.

Ya ya ya yo yo yo yi Oh Century Plant. A correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser states that this rare plant may be seen in the green house of the Patroon, at Albany, in full bloom, in a few days, Already they have unroofed part of the green house to make room for the flower stem, which sometimes shoots to the height of twenty or thirty feet By a letter from Albany to day, I am informed it has been in the family seventy five years and that it was a large plant when first set down on that venerated spot The flower stem is now between five and six feet high." A Wild Cow. A butcher in Washington Market purchased a fine cow yesterday morn ing, just from the country but on driving her through the noisy and populous streets of Gotham, she became perfectly frantic, broke away from her keeper, rushed into the Park, and for a long time baffled all attempts at heading a la Captain Tyler. The enraged animal was finally arrested in her "mad career" by a huge mastiff, which seized and held her until she was secured with ropes and led off. Animals of the genus homo frequently act quite as strangely under like circumstances.

Prize Fight. Another of these brutal exhibitions came of yesterday, between an Irishman named Murphy, and a Englishman called Lilly, in the vicinity of New York, for $200. It was encouraged by the presence of several thousands of people. The Irishman was beaten and bruised to his heart's content Stranee to say, no attempt was made to arrest the blackguards.

George Sampson, blacksmith, of Fall River, was murdered yesterday, by a man by the name of Reed, about eight or ten feet on the Massachusetts side the particulars are briefly these It seems that Sampson had repaired a gun for Reed. A dispute arose in the settlement of the account when, it is stated, that Sampson kicked or struck Reed, when the latter gave him two stabs in the side with a knife, which caused his death almost immediately.

A Dainty Dish. A person went last week into a public house near Dudley, and after some conversation offered to bet a wager often shillings that he would eat the coat off his back if they would allow him to cut the buttons off. The wager was laid, and the coat was cut to pieces and put in a frying pan, and after well frying it in liquor ho cat every bit of bis coat and won the wager. Cambridge Advertiser, Such is the? reason 'moat nommbnlv assiimod for not tekingv, a newspaper. is time, we tninn, mat the phraseology were changed, and that people told the honest truth, and said We won't afford it" for we do not believe them in a family in the country really too poor to take at 1 least a weejtiy newspaper, nor one in the city which cannot take a dailv.

We have referred to the article in question, and cannot find so many as one to say nothing of half a dozen. What is the offence charged against the city magistrates by the Grand Jury 1 It is That from the 20th of March to the 11th of April last, the day previous to the late Charter election, there were unlawfully discharged from the Penitentiary aforesaid, 71 persons," Beyond this no specific offence is alleged against the magistrates although the Grand Jury proceed to say that they are satisfied that there was reasonable ground to believe that the magistrates aforesaid were influenced by improper and corrupt motives an inference which appears to us rather gratuitous. At any rate we should like to see some of the proof which sat isfied them. If the foregoing charge had been well found ed, it would have looked bad indeed but it was not, and the issues made were upon that point. How, then, can the Star think them irrelevant 7 But the Grand Jury appear to have been aware of all this, for they tell us they know that offences of this nature in the case of Judicial officers are not indictable." Indeed If a magistrate commits an unlawful act, he is, we think, quite as liable to indictment as a private citizen.

Such we conceive to be the pith of the presentment, for had the prisoners not been dis charged they could not have voted (allowing that they did) either upon one side or the other. But the "Star" chooses to rest the whole crimi nality upon the conduct of the prisoners subsequent to their discharge and it should be observed here that subordinate employees not the magistrates are now made the actors. Under the direction of one of these it is assert ed that in one case at least they were divi ded into parties, quartered in bar rooms and watch houses, and made to vote the next day that is many of them. Of all which the Grand Jury saw proof enough to satisfy them Far be it from us to question their motives, but with all deference, we should like to see the proof especially as a former Grand Jury failed to discover it It is worthy of remark, also, that the presentment was made only for exposure an end not usually contemplated by such proceedings. The Star still maintains that no member of the Federal party was implicated in the Glentworth affair despite the existence of those living monuments, Bowen, Blatchford, Draper, Co.

And this inference is drawn from the facts that the Jury failed to agree at the trial ot lilentworth, and the lack of charac ter in the accused. This latter was not observed by the great guns at Albany including Uov. beward when they were alternately coaxed, importuned and threatened, in regard to the tobacco inspection. But it is quite convenient when a fellow culprit turns State's evidence to wheel round and denounce him as a base fellow and wholly destitute of character forgetting that he became so in the service of his detractors. But we are willing to let that matter rest where it does.

It was an act which condemned the guilty participators to everlasting the odium of which they can never shuffle off. And although it was found difficult to unravel in Court so complicated a piece of knavery as that negociation was, disguised with its fictitious names, yarn spinning and pipe laying, no man we think, can entertain a doubt of its existence, however reluctant he may be to admit it. Far be it from us to defend or uphold frauds upon the elective franchise. We wish to see that boast of American citizens kept sacred and pure; but when grave allegations axe made against magistrates, who may chance to differ in politics with their accusers, it becomes a matter of serious import. It is, doubtless, very convenient to pas off as a.

joke an acknowledgement of guilt We cannot bo regard it particularly as we know the person to whom we refer to be possessed of irood sense, much cunning, and an abundance of egotism. We certainly do think him a consummate hypocrite, but he i3 not a fool by a long shot At any rate, we were sill enough to believe him; and, although we cannot think that Jonah swallowed the whale," we know that the editor of the Star" can swallow things of a far more slimy character. Removal of Mr. Curtis. Rumor (a suspicious jade) says that Mr.

Edward Curtis is to be removed from the post of Collector of the Customs at this port. Doubtful cause rogues seldom get their deserts. Besides, no appointment which the President could make in his stead, would receive the sanction of the Senate. Announced at Last The new paper of mat veteran eaitor and politician, M. M.

It will be an interesting paper, and as it is to be published on the cash system, at two cents npr copy, cannot fail of success. Cajpt. Schenley and Lady. A late Jamaica Gazette says, Capt Schenley, whose elopement and marriage with Miss Croghan (the then richest heiress in America) made such a noise some time ago in the New York and other papers, we perceive has arrived there per the packet, and is on his way to Surinam in which place he holds an appointment.

Tkey had journeyed the whole day through the mountains, and the sight ot the white inn, with its green Venetian shutters, and its pretty gar don in the rear, all beltikoriiiiff the tidiness of the owner, was peculiarly rei'rcshinij to the travellers. The pleasant looking v. (low lady who met them at the door, increased their delight with t.Iie place. "A sweat village you have here," said the gentleman alighting, as he followed the landlady to a small hut exquisitely neat parlor. "Yes, sir, although it is answered the landlady it is rarely that we have many strangers visiting here, and so the place is much as it was in the days of our fathers." There was something in the low, sweef.niodu lated tone of the speaker, which made the interrogator start.

that voice belonged to no common innkeeper' a widow. There was that finish in the (ones which is the surest evidence of a refined mind. His cousin seemed to notice thi.s also, for when the lady had retired, she said Our hostess is certainly above the common order one would almost think she had been born a lady, and transformed by some malignant genius into a common innkeeper's widow." "She is obviously a woman of education perhaps some one whom distress has driven to this business for a livelihood. She has not al way? kept an inn, he assured, coz." Still, nothing ou 'nt to have induced her to stoop to so degrading an occupation," said his fair cousin, her prejudices at once taking alarm "there are ways enough in which an impoverished iadv can obtain a livelihood, without re sorting to the trade of an innkeeper. Pshaw! coz, you are wrong, alter all the fact of her adopting this busitie.

is a sufficient proof that she is no lady," and she gave somewhat of a haughty toss of her head, as she spoke. When, after an hour's rest, they met at supper, they were ushered into a neat room, a door from which opened into an apartment beyond, apparently a bed room. This door was a jar, disclosing a portrait hanging on an opposite wall. The light in this inner apartment was somewhat dull, but Ellen could distinguish that the picture represented a young man in uniform, and a second glance assured 'her that the portrait was that of her affianced lover. The landlady noticed heremolions with some surpise and as she sat down to do the honors of the table, looked to Eilen for an explanation.

Miss liel voir, fearing that her agitation had been noticed, said Pray, if not too inquisitive, may I ask whose portrait i see within there It bears a striking resemblance to one 1 have well known." "It is Hie portrait of my son," quietly answered the landlady, but a proud smile lit up her face, as if she was conscious of the worth of him of whom she spoke. "And his name!" breathlessly asked Ellen Edward Stanley," was the response he has been on the frontier for years, and but lately returned. His first visit," continued the fond mother, with pride, was paid to me, and on his departure he sent that portrait." "Do you know where he is now asked Ellen, concealing, by a violent effort, the interest she felt in the reply. At Washington, I believe he wrote to me about a fortnight since from West Point, stating that he should have to visit Washington soon on business. Is your tea, Miss, agreeable she continued, suddenly recollecting that, in her fondness for her child, she had forgotten the duties of her station.

Shall we' picture the struggle that took place in the mind of Ellen that night after she had retireu tier cousin, little thinking of the effect it was to produce, had bantered her on her love for the landlady's son, and had thus aroused prejudices which only her affection had hitherto kept down. What should she, the proud, the gifted, the high born, wed the son of a village landlady 1 Long she lay and thought of it, and every moment her pride grew stronger, although her love had struggled for the mastery, her pride of birth came off victor. Perhaps she had never loved with that single heartedness which is a true woman's jewel but so it was she rose. the ensuing morning, determined to break off the match with her lover. She resolved, however, not to apprise him of her determinatios untii she had reached Boston.

During the rest of her journey Ellen assumed a gaiety of tone little in keeping with her real feelings. She made no confidant of her cousin, for it was a part of her self willed and imperious nature to rely wholly on herself. But wh en they reached Boston he accompanied her to her residence, and on taking leave, said laughingly, in reply to a retort of hers Adieu, my sweet coz, and remember, when you are married, to buy the old inn, in as a sort of remembrance of old times." The shock struck home. Ellen had renewed the struggle in her breast betwixt love and pride, and the former had almost come off conqueror, when the unlucky retort of her cousin aroused all her haughtiness. She had many good feelings, but she had lived so long in the world that she had become a believer in the truth of its maxims.

What would her young friends say, she thought, if she married the landlady's son i She went into the house, and, on the epur of the moment, wrote a dis. missal to her lover. And how did he receive it 1 More in sorrow 1 .1: i Liiau uiuiiniauon. tie sat uown ana wrote a reply, in which he coldly notified the receipt of nerieuer. io unworthy regret did he breathe no attempt did hb make to change her deter mination, liis love hitherto had blinded him to this trait of Ellen's character, but now it appeared in all its glaring deformity before him and he renounced not without pain, but without regret.

And years passed, and he saw and wooed another and a fairer bride. But Ellen never married. She repented too soon nf hor rmnnrt Perhaps others avoided her on account of her neartiessness toward Stanley, but from the hour of their separation she faded away, as if some secret sorrow was at her heart. She lived to become what she most dreaded an Old Maid. The Trinket Worm.

Among the novelties in nature which we saw in Charleston, was a small worm called the trinket worm, characterized by this peculiarity, which gave rise to its name. On the" leaves of a wild vine called the trinket vine, is found a small worm, which looks at first like a small piece of thread, and is almost motionless. If the leaf be taken oif, and placed under a glass case in a room, this little thread will, in the short space of twenty four hours, grow into a good sized caterpillar, beautifully colored, and studded with golden spots. When matured it will climb up the glass, fasten one of its extremities to the glass roof, and leaving the. other depending in the air, will curl itself into a great variety of forms, presenting exquisite patterns for gold trinkets, such as earrings, prooches, clasps, and varying these from time to tune in great diversity Buckingham's Hi itrc Stales of America.
