THE CITY
An effort is being made to establish
steamship lines to leading cities of the South.
—The Common Council voted that the tax
rate for 1566, should be $4.—A. boiler or
mud-drum attachment, exploded in the
northern part of the city, November 30. One
man was killed and several wounded. It was
in evidence that the mud-drum had been
regularly cleaned on the Sabbath.—One
thousand men were discharged from the
Navy Yard, November 30.—Grain is now
for the first time in the bins of the enormous
elevator of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, foot of Washington Street, and a

vals for November, 1865, exceeded those of

and three.—Thirteen Philadelphia vessels
were captured by rebel pirates during the
war.—Governor Curtin sailed from this
city for Cuba, December 2d, in the revenue
cutter .211cCulloch.
The Sunday " Press."—The Preachers'
Meeting of the M. E. Church have addressed
a respectful, but earnest and able appeal to
Mr. Forey, against the issue of his paper
on the Sabbath, which, together with Mr.
Forney's reply, appears in The Press of
November 29. Mr. Forney says that the
Sunday paper is entirely made up on Satur
day, pleads that his paper is "high-toned,"
and therefore can do no mischief, intimates
that it is quite as good, if not better than the
denominational papers, says his only object
was to meet what he supposed to be a gene
ral demand. He concludes as follows :—" I
repeat, that I can conceive no harm that will
possibly result to either religion, or to society
at large, by maintaining the position I have
taken. ' In another part of the same paper,
the intention is stated to advocate the run
ning of City Passenger railway cars on the
Sabbath. Those who know Mi. Forney best,
are least surprised at the position which he
has taken, and which he seems determined
to maintain.
TILE STATES
Maine.—Gen. G. F. Shepley has been
appointed to a vacant Judgeship on the
Supreme Bench of that State.
New York..-A. new Methodist Church in
Brooklyn was blown down and demolished,
November 27, by a heavy gale. The pastor

man, wife and child, 12 years old, in Herki
mer county, were murdered, November 27.

T. Stewart owns the Metropolitan and St.
Nicholas, and Wm. B. Astor owns the Astor
House.—A large fire occurred on Saturday
morning, in New York City. Over two
thousand bales of cotton, and other merchan
dize was destroyed. One fireman was killed,
and seven or eight others badly hurt.
Pennsylvania.—President Johnson has
placed at Governor Curtin's disposal, for his
voyage to Cuba, the Revenue Cutter, McCul
looh, an appropriate compliment to the
patriotism and efficiency of our worthy Chief'
Magistrate.—The State of Pennsylvania
has obtained judgment against the city of
Philadelphia for $437,223,36 delinquent taxes.
—November 25, three persons were sen
tenced to death for murder at Pittsburg.
Delaware.—The Hon. S. M. Harrington,
Chanoollor of the State of. Delaware, died
suddenly from a stroke of paralysis in this
city. He was a native of Kent county, Dela
ware, and at an early age received the appoint
ment of Chief Justice of the Superior Court.
He became an associate judge of the same
court, under Hon. John M. Clayton, at the
time of the adoption of the new constitution,
in 1829, which position he held until the
death of Chief Justice Booth, whom he suc
ceeded. Upon the death of Chancellor Johns,
about the year 1856, he was appointed Chan
cellor, and continued in this position till his
decease. He was president of the Delaware
railroad from its establishment, and also took,
a prominent interest in the earlier railroad
enterprises of the peninsula. His five
volumes of reports were prepared and pub
lished during his legal career. His position
during the late rebellion was entirely on the
side of the Government.
North Carolina.—Hon. Thomas Settle, a
staunch Union man is Speaker of the State
Senate. The Legislature adopted the Con
stitutional Amendment, December Ist.
The North Carolina Legislature invited Gen.
Grant to visit them, which he did. He was
received with great courtesy by both Houses.
He was invited by the Speaker of the Senate
to a seat beside him, and a half hour's recess
was taken to permit Senators to be introduced
to the distinguished visitor. General Grant
was accompanied by a portion of his staff.
South Carolina.—Ex-Governor Aiken has
been chosen to Congress, from the District
including Charleston.—A Convention of
the colored people of the State has been held
in Charleston, closing on the 25th of Novem
ber. They passed resolutions in favor of
education, disclaiming unkind feelings towards
the slaveholders, and asking for the continu
ance of the Freedmen's Bureau. They also
adopted an " Address to the White Inhabi
tants of the State of South Carolina; a
"petition to the State Legislature ; " a "Decla
ration of Rights and Wrongs," and a "Memo
rial to Congress." These documents are
ably written. In the memorial to Congress
they asked for equal suffrage.
Alabama.—Companies have been formed
to bore for petroleum.—Fifty Alabamians
were pardoned on December 2.
Mississippi.—The number of soldiers re
ported to the Mississippi Legislature, as serv
ing against the Uniou was 78,000. Of these,
27,500 died of disease, were killed, and died

deserted. A bill for the relief of indigent and
disabled soldiers was passed.
Louisiana.—Labor is very scarce on the
plantations.—Jacob Barker, representative

Southern M. C's who have appeared at
Washington.
Texas.—The probable receipts of cotton
this year, will be 150,000 bales.—General
Gregory, Freedmen's Commissioner in Texas,
is accused of infusing insurrectionary senti
ments into the minds of the Freedmen. We
have no idea that an officer of Gen. Grego
ry's high Christian character would be guilty
of such folly. No doubt his decided sympa
thy with the Freedmen will cause him to be
regarded with suspicion and dislike by those
who still wish to oppress them.
Missouri.—Resolutions in favor of negro
suffrage have been postponed in the House
of Representatives by the close vote of 53 to
51.
Wisconsin.—The track of the La Crosse
and Milwaukee railroad was torn up, and a
bridge burned near Germantown, November
27. Suspicion rests upon farmers who had
mortgaged their farms along the line of the
road to the amount of millions of dollars for
the construction of the road. The mortgages
have been foreclosed, and the farmers threat
en to deptroy the entire line if the company
fails to make provision for the payment of
the mortgages.
THE GOVERNMENT
All volunteers imprisoned for desertion
are ordered to be released, discharged, and
sent home.—" Free Trade" and Protec
tion" promises to be leading questions in our
future politics.—The President has issued
a proclamation restoring the_ privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus in the Northern States.
—General Grant is expected to visit the
Rio Grande.—Over two thousand hands
have been discharged from the Philadelphia
and Brooklyn Navy Yards.—On May first,
the United States army numbered 1,000,503
men. ' Now it numbers 175,000.—The In
ternal Revenue receipts, after a few days
depression, are again over a million a day.
December first, they were $1,700,000.
One hundred female clerks were discharged
from the Interior Department last week.
CONGRESS
There are 184 members of the House of
Representatives on the roll. The Democratic
members have, resolved in caucus to adhere
to their old party platform on which the
people have so signally defeated them. There
are some men whom even the logic of events
teaches nothing.
FINANCIAL.
The new one-cent pieces are legal tender
for any debt to the amount of ten cents, the
two-cent pieces to the amount of twenty
cents, and three-cent pieces to the amount of
sixty cents, so that a debt of ninety. cents
may be legally liquidated in copper emu.—
Cotton goods are decidedly lower, both" do
mestic and foreign fabrics.—ln the Trea
sury of the United States, on December Ist, -
there was $41,718,000 in coin and $30,162,000
in paper.—The official statement of the
public debt to November 30th, shows a total
decrease since the 31st of October of $26,-
221,444. The total debt, deducting funds on
hand November 30th, was $2,714,633,514.
MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Seward's first Knowledge of the
Death of Lincoln.—Mr. Seward had been
kept in ignorance of the attack on the Presi
dent, his physician fearing that the shock
would be too great for him to bear, and all
newspapers were rigidly excluded from his
room. On the Sabbath following his assassina
tion, the Secretary had his bed wheeled
around so that he could see the tops of the
trees in the park opposite, just putting on the
spring foliage, when his eyes caught the stars
and stripes at half mast on the War Depart
ment, on which he gazed awhile, then turning
to his attendant, said : " The President is
dead I" The confused attendant stammered
and changed color as he tried to say nay, but
the sagacious old man said: "If he had been
alive he would have been the first to call on
me : but he has not been here, nor has he sent
to know how lam, and there's the flag at half
mast." The old statesman's inductive reason
had told the truth, and he lay in silence, the
great tears coursing down his gashed cheeks,
as the dreadful truth sank into his mind.
Exchange.
. Unblushing Frauds in the Liquor Bnsi
ness.—The Philadelphia Ledger reprints
from a recent copy of the London Times, the
following advertisement, which it commends
to the attention of some of those who rejoice
in the possession of pure " London Dock"
Madeira and Sherry, imported direct" or
from " the cellars of deceased connoisseurs in
England :"
"Partner Wanted. —A practical distiller,
having been experimenting for the last seven
teen years, can now produce a fair Port and
Sherry by fermentation, without a drop of the
grape juice, and wishes a party with from
£2OOO to £3OOO capital,'to establish a house in
Hamburg, for the manufacture of his wines.

the South.
FOREIGN,
Great Britain.—The alleged leader of the
entire Fenian movement has been arrested.
—Minister Adams has formally withdrawn
his offer to arbitrate the claims growing out
of the Alabama case. Earl Russell insists
that his Government did everything it could
under the circumstances.—The Times is
very severe on Waddell, the Shenandoah,
pirate—lt is stated that the cold weather
has had no effect in staying the cattle disease,
but that the frost and rain have rather ag
gravated it.—The conduct of Spain towards
chili had elicited general indignation. It
was suggested that England, France, and the
United States, should unite in putting a per
manent stop to such arbitrary proceedings.
While France is interfering just as arbitrahly
in Mexico, it would be a mere farce for her
to undertake to rebuke Spain in Chili.
France.—The Emperor had ordered great
reductions in the army—the discharge of
1800 officers and 42,000 men, saving thereby
fifty million francs. A thousand soldiers
had arrived from Italy.
Spain.—Spanish securities experienced a
heavy fall in the English market, November

pointed Captain-General of Cuba.—The

ed by the aid of the British men of war.

pal ports. All the others are left open.—

revolutionary troops.
Mexico.—The Mexican Legation at Wash
ington, have received word that Maximilian's
Treasurer reports a budget of expenses of
forty million dollars, - while the receipts do not
quite reach fifteen millions.—The abandon
ment of the States of Sonora, Sinaloa, Chi

CHRISTIAN ARMOUR.
A gift book entirely unique in the
American market, and for many reasons,
specially worthy the attention of the
Christian public, has recently been issued
by Charles Scribner & Co., with the
above title. It comprises a series of
illustrations of the text: Ephesians vi,l3
—lB, planned by a Christian lady of ex
quisite taste, with the noble purpose of
commending, through the aid of the fine
arts and the msthictic sentiment, the great
spiritual truth of the text to mind and
heart. Each piece of the armour and
the dress is emblazoned in gilt or colors,
or a combination of both, and the 'plates
are richly illuminated in the style of the
ancient missal decorations, with all the
improvements and refinements of Modern
art. Gorgeous copies of staineh glass
windows, with combinations of color df
the most vivid hues, faithful representa•
tions of delicate blossoms, brilliant but
terflies, and other natural objects, ara
besques and religious symbols all arranged
so as to aid in illustitating each particular
portion of the text, executed in the most
finished style of the art of color pitting,
upon extra heavy white paperi and
superbly bound, form a volume which
would be a credit to any publisher, in
any country. And if one would have
upon his table a luxurious book, every
part of which will bear study, and:illus
trate' and enforce in the most captivating
manner the deepest lessons of truth and
duty, be will be gratified in the "Chris
tian Armour." It is for sale by it mith,

linen thread.
THIRD. They make the patent " TWISTED
LOOP STITCH." which is the most
beautiful, elastic, and durable stitch
known.
FOURTH. They are "GLORIOUSLY SIM
PLE," as readily comprehended as a
pair of scissors, and not more liable
to derangement.
FIFTH. They are ENTIRELY NOISELESS
and "might safely be used in a sick
room, or by the cradle of a sleeping
infant."
They are run with PERFECT
EASE. scarcely an effort. being re
quired to sew a thousand stitches per
minute.
SEVENTH. They are ABSOLUTELY COM
PLETE, and will Hem, Fell. Braid,
Cord, Bind. Tuck, Gather, and-Em
