EDITORIAL, CORRESPONDENCE.
Fuiladelphia, May 28, 1867.
The month of May, 1867, lias been any-
tbtng elso than characteristic of balmy j
breeze. It baa been, perhaps, the most tin'
' pleasant month of the year. Tbe continu
out wet weather has affected not only the
regular routine of business, but in many in
stances causes serious Injury. California,
and other sections have their regular rainy
seasons, which differ but little from our own,
except in duration. Tbe different religious
conventions and sessions of Odd 'Fellows,
&c, which assemble here in May, brought
together quite a number of people from the
interior. Tbe question of a division of tbe
Dioccss over wbich Bishop Stevens of tbe
Episcopal Church now presides, was one
' wbich excited considerable interest in tbe
Conventldn. Tbe division would have car
ried, but was postponed in deference to the
Bisbop, wbo is now absent in Europe.
Biik'ess in Philadelphia, as elsewhere, is
not as healthy and as prosperous as it should
be merchants complaining, not only that
their sales are limited, but that it is difficult
to realize from sales already made. This, in
connection with tbe unfavorable weatben
has made times somewhat dull in the city.
But notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
the spirit of enterprize in improvements bas
not abated, anu property continues to ad
vance; but prices are not yet uniform and
settled, as they must be, bi-tore tilings as-
sume a healthy state. Tbe demand for goods
bas fallen off considerably, especially foreign
goods, and prices are gradually coming
down. This, I noticed particularly in the
higher grades of carpeting. In comparison
with Brussels and velvet carpeting, our do.
mcstic ipgruin, is entirely too high. Cotton
domestic goods are also declining slowly
The new liquor law was ostensibly ob
served by closing the shutters and tbe direct
approaches to tbe bars, &c. In one of tbe
principal hotels in ChesDUt street, one of tbe
clerks informed us on Sunday evening, that
an unusual number of guests were on the
sick list that day, and acting as physician
to the establishment, be bad sent numerous
prescriptions to the drug department of the
hotel for medicine. The medicine prescribed
was mostly Dranaj ana wter, and was
cheerfully taken by the patients, who were
not only satisfied with this kind of treat
mcnt, but professed to feel better after every
dose taken. . Duo thing was certain, the ar
rests by the police next morning, bad fallen
off more than one hundred per cent.
Wb desire our neighbor of the
Qazette to understand, that although it is
our rule never to provoke a controversy, or
meddle . with the private affairs of others,
we do not hesitate to reply to attacks made
on us, directly or by insinuation. There are
some persous who have the unfortunate habit
of looking at things with a distorted vision
and persisting tbat black is white, even
( when the error is apparent, and it is not won
derful that our neighbor should be among
that number. The statements we made in
the article, to which tbe Gazette takes ex
ception, and attempts to controvert by un
founded inference and misstatements, are
strictly true. We have on more than one
occasion published the County Auditors Re
port without pay, when the editor of tho
Gatette was an officiating high priest among
tbe copper-colored democracy, and moo.
opolized tbe county patronage. We did not
publish it, this spring, simultaneously, as
the Gazette says, with the Democrat, but a
week afterwards, after making a suggestion
to one of the Commissioners that we intended
to do so, and that tbe board should publish
it at least, in one Republican paper. That
Commissioner admitted the justness of what
we said, and on his own responsibility
promised tbat we should receive some com
pensation, and on this ground alone, the
Gazette made a whining appeal to the
''Republican party." Surely if tbe silly
boast that ho has tho patronage of three
fourths of that party, is true, bis attempt to
get also that of the opposite party by under
bidding, is, to say tbe least, not very magna
nimous, nor is the fact of referring to private
conversations much less censurable.
' Tub Nbw Liquor Law. -Tho new
Liquor Law passed by tbe last Legislature,
is by far the most stringent, ever enacted in
Pennsylvania. Among other things it pro
vides for the closing of all bars and saloons
after midnight, and entirely on Sunday j
makes it tbe duty ot the constables and po
lice to arrest every person found in the
public streets or highways intoxicated,
whether disorderly or not j utterly forbids
the selling or giving in any way of ale or
beer, as w ell as of stronger liquors, to mi
nors ; authorizes any child of any parent to
forbid the sale of whiskey or champagne to
bis father; and makes it tbe bounden duty
of all sheriffs, constables, and officers and
members of the police, to compel the obser
Tance of all its provisions. The law is im
portant and there it scarcely any one wbo
it not personally Interested in its provisions.
EST" Important to Ubiiu of Soldiers.
Ia accordance with a bill passed by the last
Congress, tbe heirs of Union soldiers wbo
died while held as prisoners in tbe South,
are entitled to draw commutation for rations
for tbe time intervening between the capture
and decease of such soldiers. This commu
tation amounts to twenty-five cents per day,
and may be obtained by the widow, if she
hat remained unmarried at late as March 3

ISTWa observe by tbe last Democrat tbat
Mr. J. E. Eicbolti hat become sole editor
and publisher of tbat paper. Mr. Aoten the
retiring partner will, however, assist aa as
tociate editor. ' ' '

internal Revenue disclose the fact that in
the whole United 8tata,last year, only 5Q,J

Odd Fellowship. At an entertainment
in Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening, the
22d ult., there were six hundred PastGrands
present, representing 60,000 Odd Fellows of
Pennsylvania. In responso to a sentiment
the Grand Sire delivered an address on the
subject of Odd Fellowship, setting forth in
brilliant colors the beauty of the order and
its object to do 'good. The order in the
United States, North and South, is in a pros
perous condition, and its rapid increase in
the number of its members will be produc
tive of a larger amount of benevolence than
has hitherto been tbe case. Addresses were
also delivered by other Past Grands from
different parts of the State of Pennsylvania,
all of whom gave evidence of tbe prosperity
of the order in tbe different sections of tbe
State.
Therb is no mistaking the growing
strength of the Republican cause in tbe
8outh. The old Democratic leaders feel and
acknowledge its power, and are bowing to
the majesty of its influence. Democracy, as
it is known as the promoter of treason and
the defender of wrong, will never again rule
in the South. It will, of course, have its
friends it will be cherished as slavery is
yet clung to, but among tbe intelligent and
the loyal., with men wbo are sincerely devo
ted to the safety of the Government, Demo
cracy will henceforth be powerless for con
trol. Tho old Democratic leaders in the
South die hard nevertheless, die they must,
and politically. It is eccotding to tbe tes
timony of many witnesses capable of speak
on the subject, that the Republican cause is
making rapid progress in the South, and is
certain to triumph there in tbe election of a
majority of Republican Congressmen. This
stute of things is not likely to be changed
before tbe election takes place.
Davis Not to be Tried. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Charleston Courier
writes that "the appearance of Mr. Jefferson
Davis at tbe November term of the United
States Circuit Court'will be merely formal.
It is well understood tbat no trial for trea
son in bis case, or that of any other exCon
federate, will ever take place. The report
that an indictment had been found by the
Grand Jury at Richmond aguiustMr. Breck
enridge is den eJ."
The Fbman Armt 00,000 Men on titb
March. Troy, N. Y., May 29. Informa
tion to-night discloses the fact tbat tbe ap
proaching Fenian attack will be made by
threo columns, at three different points, ol
ten thousand men each. The names ot these
points are not yet known beyond tbe com
manders of the invading army, but it is
permitted to be known that each column of
troops will be prepared to and will make
desperate assaults upon tbe several objective
points.
The amount of .business done by lake
steamers is surprising. Tbe following figures
show tbe number of steamers engaged: Tbe
Western Transportation Company will run,
this season, twelve screw steamers of an ag
gregate tonage of 10,000 tons, between Buf
falo, Chicago, Milwauke and Racine. Tbe
Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago line will run
eleven steamers, of about 8.400 tons, between
Buffalo, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Rucine and
Cleveland. The Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo
and Sandusky line, will run thirteen steam
ers, of about 9,800 tons, between Buffalo,
Cleveland, Toledo, Sandusky, Detroit and
Green Bay. Evans' line will run six steam
ers of about 4,000 tons, between Buffalo,
Chigo, Milwaukee, Racine and Detroit C.
W. Ensign will run two new vessels of 1,200
tons eacb, between Chicago and Buffalo.

Mobile. Mav 22. An order was issued
this evening, by the direction of Major Gen

in the South.
Gen. Pope has issued an important order
on registration in the States of Georgia and

of every board. Every cure will be taken
to have the work done faithfully, as well as
that the fullest liberty shall be accorded td

The men and journals who accuse Judge
Kelley of inciting the Mobile riot iu effect
declare thut a murderer may plead as a just
excuse for bis crimes bis hatred of Free
Speech. In Judge Kelley's speech, as re
ported in an ex-Rcbel paper, there is not a
word that should have provoked disturb
ance, much less the brutal discharge of pis
tols and guns, and indiscriminate bloodshed.
He spoke plainly, honestly, mildly, and his
declaration that the 15th Uuited States Iu
funtry was there to maintain his rights was
a manly utterance provoked by persistent
iusult, aud for which decent men would
have cheered him. No, Judge Kelley was
not shot at for unything he then said, but
for bis votes in Congress, and because of bis
loyal reputation. The men wbo sought his
life are those who do not repent their trea
son, and rejoice at every chance to repeat it.
