WASHINGTON, Jan. 21st, 1884.

 One of the handsomcst and test pick-ups, If I may be allowed to coin a word iii this word-coining age, was that which Ewing of Ohio this day gave to Rives If Virginia itwas unkind in the wild Qhioan, rough from the woods, thus to unhbrse the civil and court bred Virginian; tut the small things of this world often confound the great. Mir. Rlees in justiffing the veto, contended that 1t had beenusbdin in this coun- try for liberal purposes; and that the only instance of it's ase in Eagland for long time was its use by a Whig King, William tie 3d. Unfortunate historifalreferenc for Mir. Rives! Mir. Ewing ldt us know what this single instance was, and after citing the tyranny which English Kings at diifer- ent times had exercised over English Jud- ges, particularly in the day9 of Lord Coke, &tc. came to the days of William, and told us that this veto by this Whig King, was a veto upon law which fixed the salaries of Judges and gave them their offices for life ]; thus putting them above tho control of the king-a situation in which the Whig King imbued with Tory principles, did not like to iitste tlio oaui55sss pidSed, iot inslofy Hdu shown him that King might. have great power over Judges, whose salaries and the tenure of whose offices were in the power of the Grown. Thus Mr. Rives' illustra- tion was turned with great force OH himself The US7tig King William was found to be very like our fhig King Andrew, very much of Wing while getting into office. but very much of a Tory in office. MT. Rives must read his Hume more carefully before he ventures upon such citations y,:t! so many watchiul eyes about him. Tha Ewing is a book worm, and looks like black letter man andit is a shame for Ohio away over the mountains, in the backwood nobody knows where, to be teaching tn, sons of the Ancient Dominion, lessons il broad day, in the $ American Senate, ,"-ts quote Col. Benton's phrase.
