Jul lOSt 33S 1252 J-SS- Cumbria Freeman. EiicxsniitG, PA. Tiivrsijak Mokniso, ; : Drc. 9, I860- Seutlment airatnat Fact, On the 28th of October last, when An drew O. Cnrtin, the American Minister to tbe Court of St. Petersburg, presented hit credentials to the Emperor Alexander, he e.ncludcd hit presentation speech with the following high-tsounding eulogium on that inml absolute of all European sovereigns : "Ami in behalf of the G-tvernment and reo p! of my country. 1 am glad to hiv- the on- j port" nil y to give renewed expression to Uuir j a J miration and regard for your Majesty, aud j their earnest hopes and wishes tor the lcnp con- J tmuance and r-rosperity 01 a reign made uiua t'aa by its vigor, wisdom and junlice." Vu a former occasion we expessel our arcest tiiascnt froin that iutenae feeliug of admiration, if not abject servility, with which moat of the public men of this coun try are habitually a ecus tamed to rpeak of the government of Ruaaia and ita Kmperor. It is founded in a false sentimentality, aod ft ppp6td by all the practical teachings of her hiatory. If there ia anything in the ma terial progrcsa or political hittory of that evrrthadowiug despotism for the Iaht one I huudred year a that can palliate or jiutify this exceasive prais. we confess that we are heretofore been unable to appreciate i. The abolition of serfdom in 1863 throughout the'rmpire. altht ugh praiseworthy and com hiendable, will not atone for her numerous wanton aod red-haoded national Crimea. If Americans ought to dcteit perfidious Eng land,, why should they honor and glorify r!9potic Russia? If the one robbed, plun dered and oppressed Ireland, and atill presa- bar iron heel on the prostrate neck of that iii-jtovtrned country, the other obliterated the nationality of Poland, blotted the land et Koxciu.-ko from the map of Europe, ban iahed her patiiotic sods to the mines and ciongeons of Siberia, and as a crowning rnon xn ent to he-icfamy crushed out, with her barbarian, legions, the very life blood of Hungarian lilrty on the field of Tcmevar. As a practical and eltqntnt commentary t'U Gov. Curtin's extravagant recognition of "tha vigor, wisdom and justice" of the gov ernment of Alexander, Czar of ail the Kus a.as. the following significant incident oz- in red at the White House, in Washington, en Nov. 30th about one month after Mr. Cm tin's expression of the admiration and regard of the people of this country for hu i.ajety, the "Russian Bear": A de'egation. consisting of Mcsrs. Solo mon, Woll, A-i'er. Abraham and J acobton , of Washington, had an iatcrview with the Pre.-d iieut this morning, having been presented by Fecretury Iijuiwdl. They laiJ before the )'reideiu au npial that he will use his kindly tfhcea irh the Czar of Ruskia. through oiir MiuL-ter at St. Petersburg, to effect a revoea i.ou or modiacation of the late ukase exparri iipg tao thousand Jewish families. The President, in response, stated that it was too (ate iu the day of enlightenment to persecute any race, color, or religion, and that he would take great pleasure iu using the influence of (he gorerument to procure a revocation of the bkxse, and lay the appeal before the Cabinet then about to atsembla. Any comments on the above would be en tirely superfluous. Ure we have all the "vigor" of the Emperor of which Minister Curtln so diplomatically talks, but without the "wisdom and justice" of which he ia so lavish in his" praises of the successor of Peter the Great. It is simply disgusting, and al nt realizes the famous saying of Talley r&ud, that diplomacy is a lie and that lao guage was given to man to enable him to eoocea! his true thoughts. The case of President Grant, however, was quite different a few years ago. It will be rimembered that be ordered the Jews be yond the line of his military department nut!er the most severe pains snd penalties. If he cau now arrest the mailed arm of An drew G. Curtiu's friend, the Emperor of Russia, for whose "wisdom and justice" Mr. A. G. Curtin stands sponsor, and if Grant Join's to have "the late ukase, ex pa friatlng two thousand families," rescinded by his imperial friend Alexander, and if he tun succeed in effecting that humane object, he win fully redeem himself in the estima tion of the Jtws. and will have somewhat atoned for Mr. Seward's present to Russia t-f seven and a half millions of dollars for the acquisition of cold, barren, dreary and in hospitable Alaska. We ?earu from the Harrisburg Patriot that the notorious Sam. Josephs, who, by oni mysterious political infliction, once u.ore represents a Philadelphia democratic Assembly district, is intriguing for the nom ination by the democratic party as its candi date for the Speakership of the next House. To say the least of it, this is "richnesa" on the part of the immaculate Samuel Josephs. Ve kuew he was brazen faced and unparal leled in impudence, but this last effort of his completely "knocks down tbe persimmon." If the democratic Diembers of the House will so far disgrace themselves as to confer on Sam. Josepha even tbe empty honor of a nomination for the position named, and thus entail lasting dishonor on tbe party, they have just one more thing to do, and that is to buy rope encugh and then hang them selves. If they ever gratify his mean and groveling ambition they will bink themselves to such a profound depth of moral perdition that the band of the political resurrectionist will never teach them. The name of Sam. Josephs is peculiarly offensive, and stinks in tbe nostrils of all honest democrats. If B. B. Strang should be elected Speaker of the Uoue, with E'iaha V. Davis as the ItMiW of the radical majority aud Sam. Jo ephs as the representative man of tbe de mocracy, then may the tax-payers in utter aud abject despair repeat the rolemn and imprefcive words of the court crier: '-God ave the Commonwealth."

The announcement is made on the first of every month, and her a hied all over the coun try with a grand flourish of radical trum pets, that the national debt is decreasing at the rate of from five to seven millions of dol lars per month. This information would certainly be very gratifying if it teas true, but unfortunately that is not the rase, as the figures furnished by Mr. Bout well.

If ia gratifying to find that a few of j the New Yoik papers have begau to taKe a proper view of the case, and now join us in condemning Richardson and his literary and clerical supporters. The uretei.ded marriage between Rich- aids.... and the partner of his guilt, which . a took place night before last at the Astor House, was the graud sensation scene in this ; tragic comedy. It is shocking to read the i prayer uttered by Rev. O. B. Frothingham by the dying bed of the adulterer ; shocking ! to read the words of Rev. Henry Waro . Bwecher invoking the divine blessing upon j the two guilty people. When it is remain- j bered that Mrs. Mi Farland got her divorce j in Indiana, without the knowledge of her i husband, the legality of such divorce will be j 'lenied by every rigbt-mimied person. I he marriage pronounced by Mr. Beecber was, therefore, no marriage at all. It was an outrage upon the sacred Institution, and an insult to all virtuous mtn and women. Mr Horace Greeley has been regarded as a pure and honorable man ; but he has forfeited his right to such consideration by the conspicu ous pari taken by him at the bed-side of his wicket! associate, and by the blazinr in his paper of the laudations bestowed by un thinking people upon the two chief actors in this drama of siu. Hon. Sfchuyler Colfax, j Vice-President of the United States, is a gentleman who, although belonging to Inui- I ana, has always respected the obligations of marriage, and it is impossible that he cau j have known all the circumstances of Rich- j ardson's conduct, when he telegraphed his j tender message of sympathy and solicitude, j that George rrancis Irani should liavo nj do.ic tne san.e tiling was quite natural a proper; but the other prominent men, men, whose telegrams and letters the Tribune has spread before its readers, atted thoughtless ly aud from a wrong impule. whi-u they presented themselves as comforters to a man who had no right to the respect of men who believfa in the saciedness of the maariage tie. But Richardson is dead, and it would be well if the story of his guilty aud wretched death could die with him. Tliis. however, will not be allowed.

Various an I infer nally mean are the subterfuges often resort ed to by parties desiring to be rid of matri- moniai letters. Me uae oearu o. illustrative of this statement that occurred e have beard ot not many years ago in this country. A widow woman held property which she might transfer while she remained single, but which, according to her husband's will, she could not dispose of if she married again. while in a state of coverture. ed. she did j many a second lime, and in the Ci urse of t;me she desired to transler the property left her by her fir.-t husband. This, of course, she could not do, the provision of her first husband's will inhibiting her. Here was a quandary. A law3 er of this city was consulted. He "set things up" for the wife and her husband. She went home, told her husband what advice the lawyei had given her. and he thought it "just the thing." Aod what, reailer, do you suppose that ad vice was? Simply this: The husband and wife were to quarrel and fight every day. ar d this was to be done in the presence of tbe children of the wife, who were well grown, and they were to be made to belu ve the quarreling and fighting was genuine, instead of feigued. The pr gramme was carried out to the letter, and tnen the hus band applied for a divorce. He set fjrth "ioeompatibility" ia his complaint, the wife admitted it. aud the children swore to it. Judge Bickuell granted the divorce. The same day she transferred the property as she had desired to do, aud the next day the divorced couple were remarried. Such is one of the phases of tbe divorce practice. New Albany Commercial. A horrible mukdkb is reported to have been committed near Greenville, Mercer county, yesterday morning. The victims are an aged couple named Yandusserx. and their home was burned to ashes, with their bodies in it. They were known lo have had a large amount of gold on their premises some twenty or thirty thousand dollars. When the citizens in any number had reach ed the scene of the fire ail hope of extinguish ment or rescue of the inmates was out of the question. The immediate neighbors, bow ever, assert that they entered the first floor of the house when the flames had net yet enveloped the whole interior, and made every effort to arouse the inmates, but in vain, though they slept ou the second floor. When the fiie had doue its worst the body of Mrs. Vandusen was found still in bed, though then in the cellar, while that of her husband was found in tbe hall. A large jack-knife, with the blade open, was found in the ashes. On Saturday the old man, frightened, no doubt, at the decline in gold, was in town offering to sell of the precious mettle, thus inevitably advertising his tempting posses sions thirty thousand in gold in a farm house in a quiet country town. It is sup posed the old people were first murderedby burglars, who secured the gold and fired the premises. Pittsburgh Post, Dec. 1th.

A terrible shipwreok has taken place ou the coasts of Ztii&ib.vi. The British ship HydirbaJ sa:led ou (he 5th of Augu.-t from Allaputty. with eighty-four souls on board of whom thirty two belonged to the ciew. On the 10th of Septemler the ship stunk on a reef some little distance from the Zirzi bar coart. and became a total wreck. No provisions or water were saved and thesur vivers suffered the most terrible privations during the eiht days they were n the reef. Bus for the fortunate arrival of a coasting steamer they would all no doubt have per ished. As it is twenty-one persons died of thirst and four were drowuded. The .Washington gossips are just now much excited over a story, which, if tru. reveals a sad chapter of Congressional life. A few years ago, a Northern Ilepreenta tive, some fifiy years of age, brought there a young and beau' if ul woman, to whom ho paid devo'ed attention. Afrcr years of dis honorable intimacy, the Congressman be came tired of his victim, her child was sent to the foundling hospital, and she sought consolation in strong dring. Occasional fits of delirium ensued, and it is positively as certained that a few weeks ago she cut her throat with the razor of her betrayer, who meanwhile had been transferred to "an im portant position in the Govercment. It is said that the death wound was sewed up, and the remains sent away clandestinely. A Little Gibl Bitried Aute The Dis covery Made too Im'.c. About four weeks ago a little German girl in Brooklyn took sick with the lock-jaw, and rumor says that in a few days she was thought dead and was buried. On the evening of her burial, the mother, for some reason was led to the grave, and with her ear pressed clooe to the ground, thought she beard a noise and be lieving her child to be moving in its coffin, she withheld from asking assitance for fear of being ridiculed, and immcliatcly procured a spade and began to dig up the earth. Soon she came to the colli o, and hurriedly taking it from tbe earth opened it. and there found the body of her child, nine hours after its burial, as warm as if it were living, and lying on its side. She took the child to her house, where a physician was immediately called in and every restorative applied to bring the child to life. It was too late. The soul had taken its flight, and in a few Lours more the body was odd and icy. It was 6oou buried again, and has uot since been disturbed.
