A few evenings ago, says the New York World, the home of the Secretary of the Trcas. ury in Washington became for a few hours the cyDor.urc of all eyes. Car riage after carriage thundered up to its doorways blazing with light, and from each in its turn emerged its fairy freight of grace and beauty, cloud after cloud of "silken wonders," miracles evoked by wo man's taste and woman's toil from tbo looms of a hundred lands. To one who watched that gay and gorgeous scene how bright beyond even the optimistic dreams of Mr. Secretary SEWARD must the state and hope of the republic have seemed! The daughter of the magician who has filled the land with green and growing promises to pay was that night wedded to a senator whose name should bo the synonym of prosperous "patriot ism." Since the marriage of Aladdin with the Princess Badourah no such happy fulfillment of opulence, woven from air and heaped up by Djinns as potent as impalpable, hath been seen. Wealth and power were striking hands; and the soul of Jenkins swelled within him as lie passed in glittering review tho splendid tribute which these conjoined divinities of his heart's adora tion were bringing to tho shrine of youth and beauty. Let not Jenkins bo blamed; nor let one harsh thought 'oB breathed upon that brill iant bridal hour. But the jewels and the flowers, the diamonds I and tho laces, which turned the night to fra grant day on that fair festival, Vose and fell to ' the pulses of women's hearts. The scene itself, were but an empty pageant or worse, save for i the sanctity which tho soul of womanhood sheds ! over the wedding feast and tho wedding gar- : ments. And wherever in all tho land a wo- 1 man's eyes are resting with natural and com-; mendable delight upon the fascinating details of costumes incomprehensible to the masculine I mind, of jewels bright.as tho stars, and embroi deries delicate as the frolic frost-work on the forest trees of winter, wo ask that woman's heart aud soul to turn with us for a moment to \ anolhcrscene which marked thnt night of Thurs- 1 day in another city of the great republic. In a hall in the Bowery of New York there are gath- ! ered together hundreds of girls. It is no bridal festival which they are celebrating. Hunger is . in their eyes; their hands IUO worn and hard i with ceaseless labor; their cheeks are wan with care and disappointment and despair. No mti- 1 sic flatters this sad and eager throng into deli cious dreams; no flowers wreathe for them tho gaunt realities of daily life with whispers of love and hope and happiness to come. To them the ! "cup has been dealt in quite another measure." To them life seems simply living; the fierce, re lentless, unremitting effort to clutch with those thin, frail fingers tho scanty bread of every day from tho world that whirls about and above them, noisy, clamorous, heedless of them and theirs. These are no daughters of tho Treasu ry, no brides of the Senate. These are the daughters of the people; tho patient, snd-eved daughters of labor and of suffering. Like the proudest and fairest in the land, they, too, lead their womanly life in seclusion from the public eye. Year after year they work on uncomplain ing, unheard of, asking only to be suffered to keep body and soul together in such wise that the body's Life may not be purchased by the soul's death. Content to know as little of dia monds as of the stars, of laces as of the clouds, if they can but save an aged mother, a helpless father, an orphaned household of brothers and sisters from the wqlf that prowls forever about the floor. The pronrl and the fair emerge from IbcEump ■tiimw privacy of home for a brief moment at the summons of pleasure, and happiness, and love. r l hese emerge from their privacy, as dear for all its poverty, at qui;c another summons. They come before us, not that we nay admire the splendors of their trosseanx, but that we may measure the depth of their despair. The prosperous land which lavishes upon the Prin cess iiadourah its fifty thousand dollars' worth of luagnifnjent ; arapheriinli.i deals out to these sistPn of hers an average income of two dol lars pep week. Once they lived upon this pit tance and made no sigh, wringing from it houso reut, clothing, lire in winter, food in health where health was a kind of sickness, medicine in sickness wlierc sickness revealed the one sure hope of rest. Hut the wand of the magician ias smitten tbeir dollars, and withered them, and they must ery out in their agony or perish. ■ Shall not their cry be heededt It is not possible, m it, that women and men of women born can look this fact in the laco , and sleep upon it; that hundreds and thousands j of women arc working life away, twelve, four- \ teen, sixteen hours a day, putting their youth, their strength, their very heart's blood into the i service of our commerce and our comforts, at such rates of pav as in the present condition oi our national finances make a mockery of tire Scriptural saying that the wages of sin is death, seeing that something more pitiful than dcatli is thereby made the wages of honesty, patience and virtue, and that every domineering instinct of human nature is thereby enlisted in aid of sin and its temptations? Years ago all England was stirred to its in most heart by HOOD'S "Song of the Shirt," and the world has never ceased to fling that terrible refrain in the face of British opulence and pow er. We at least can do so no longer. The cry of our own women is ringing in our ears, and will go out upon the western wind over Chris tendom. It is aery of suffering to-day. How long ere it will be a cry of crime and shame if wc be deaf to the appeal ? llow the appeal shall be answered the will to answer it shall reveal. To doubt that will would be indeed to despair of the republic, if not of the race. The Conscription Act. We publish on tho first of to-day's pa per, the opinion of Judge Thompson, on the Conscription Act, to which we invite a careful perusal. It will be seen that the Act is declar ed unconstitutional and void, and the arguments used and the reasons given are clear, forcible, and constitutional. We have always held thai the Act, abolishing State rights as it does, was a dead letter, and felt confident that the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania, when the proper time arrived, would so decide. Pennsylvanians can feel proud in saying that in the highest tri bunal in their State they find arbiters of their rights; Judges who are not intimidated by the power of the Administration, nor corrupted by its patronage, and who are not willing that the rights of their State nor those of the people shall be overridden, or trampled in the dust.— The people will wait patiently to see whether Governor Curtin, who is sworn to carry out the law, as expounded by the Supremo Court, will heed this decision. If Pennsylvania,had a Gov ernor of her own choice all would be well. SUBLIME.— The "Inquirer er cord, $2 75; for Hickory, $ 5.50. If wood keeps on advancing, look out for your wood piles, for wo have known it to disappear alto gethur, even at the old rates. CUT DOWN. —Two venerable locust trees in front of lilyniire's. After they had withstood the storms, the thunders and lightnings of near ly a century; had witnessed the debut and ex it of generations, they yielded at last to the rude incisions of the axe. While witnessing the operation we were made to exclaim "Woodman spare that tree." CSrThe "devil's" inquisitivencss prompts him to ask why, when the Editor leaves, he always goes "in euro of" the "custodian of the public morals?" The little imp had better stick to his "sticks" SICKNESS IN TIIE ARMY In the Bth Maine, 32d New York, 2d Rhode Island, 2d Maine, 3d Vermont, Bth New York 31 th, 4th, and sth Pennsylvania, several .Michi gan, Indiana and Wisconsin regiments, Sickles' Brigade, and over 10 ) other regiments, have acknowledged, through their surgeons and of ficers, that RAD WAY'S READY RELIEF have scores of times saved the lives of soldiers when all other remedies failed. Sergeant C. I*. Lord, of the Bth Maine, I)r. Tingley of Sickles' Brigade, Capt. Whitloek of the 32d New York, Genl. Hall of Sickles' Brigade, and hundreds of others, testify thatßadway's Ready Relief, in erery case where it has been used io the diseases incidental to exposure of climate, perfected cures where the surgeons of the regi ments could do nothing. Let every soldier pro cure this remedy. JI.ON CITY COLLEGE,—Perhaps the mostsuc cossf d Commercial College in the West is the above, which has now reached a degree of pros perity hitherto unexampled even before out na tional troubles. So numerous are the applica tions that it is difficult to furnish accommoda tions for all (he students who desire to enter. The policy of the Principals has been to give Diplomas to no one not thuioughly qualified in every department of study, and this ha*s re sulted in giving the institution such a reputa tion as is of great value to its graduates, giving them great advantages in securing them situa tions. The teachers arc all well accomplished and attentive, and a course here secures a thor ough commercial education. For terms. Am., see advertisement. A VERT SMAI.I. J>OO BARKING AT THE MOON.— The above scene can he witnessed every full moon, at which time the Inquirer man attacks Hon. A. 21. Cotfroth, of Somerset. Gov. Sprague was married last week at Washington City, to Miss Chase, daughter of "Greenback" Chase.. "Jenkins" describes the whole affair minutely even down to the gaudy trinkets worn by the bride. Every thing went "gay as a marriage bell!" as though there were no widows wail, nor orphans cry, all over the land. The Conscription Bill Unconstitutional. We publish this morning the opinion of the Supreme Court, delivered at Pittsburgh by Chief Justice Cowrie, 111 the eases arising in this city under the Conscription bill. Justice Woodward j and Thompson concurred in the decision, while | the other two members of tiro Court dissented. It is with no little satisfaction that we have > thus the opportunity to present a vindication of the course of the Democratic party in reference to this important measure. VVe were always careful to disclaim any intention of olfering a merely factious opposition to the Administra tion, but this system seemed to us so clearly un constitutional that there was nothing left for one ! who acknowledged allegiance to our fundamen tal law hut to protest against it; though, indu ing this, however, we have never lost sigla of the fact that until annulled by the Judiciary, every law, however absurd, is binding upon the j citizen, and all that we aske.l tor, therefore, was | that the question should be fairly'brought before i the quarts. After much delay, and with great I iruuble, tins was at least accomplished and the | result is that the Supreme Court of Pennsylva j nia has decided the act unconstitutional. j No one can rea l the argument of the Chief I i Justice without acknowledging its candor and j J abiii'V, and we trust that it will everywhere ! receive it careful and patient consideration. Un- j th this decision is reversed the net is a nullity, j so fuV the citizens of this State u. - c concerned; j uud we tuke it fur granted that no attempts will | be made by the Fedora.' authorities to enforce it, ' unless the Supreme Com b of the United .States j shall overrule our own Court. It is the dot)' j of all good citizens to render obedience to the j law, as expounded by the proper tribu'uals, and i we have no doubt that our Republican Mends] will surrender their prejudices, and submit, us I they should do, without hesitation, to the au- 4 thoritv of our highest Court. No long as the ' legal presumption was in favor of the ounstitu- ] tionality of this statute, we were all bound to' obey it. The doctrine promulgated hv tlio Abo- I litionists at the time of tliu passage of the fu- j gutive slave law is not the American doctrine, j Then, Senator Hale said, in reference to the | Boston mob: ''That law which it was attempted to enforce was odious to the people, and it could nut be enforced, though the population in Uostun was not one-tenth of u hat it now is. It cannot be done now if the moral sense of the people of Boston are against it, and will not support it; and it is the idlest thing on earth to send any force here to enforce the law. No, sir. such is not the foundation on which our institutions rest. They rest upon the moral sentiments and judgment of the people and when they filil to sustain any measure it is idle to fall hack ipoa standing armies.'" 13nt such theories are subversive of free gov ernment, and there is no safety for us unless we acquiesce in the. law as it stands on the statute book until the courts have pronounced again it, when it ceases to ho the law, and ;! become:.- the duty of every good citizen to resist itn en forcement. Should the Administration, there lore, undertake to continue the eonseriptiou iu this State, it will become necessary for Gover nor Curtin to aid the courts in compelling obe dience to their decrees, and in so doing iie may safely count upon ihe assistance of all leva! men. Wo do not apprehend, however, that it will he necessary for. him to take any such ac tion for the "faithful execution" ot the laws which would he violated should the decision of the Court be disregarded. Were there no bet ter reason, it would be M.Tiiti.'iit for the Wash ington authorities to know that those who should attempt to arrest men in this State by virtue of the provisions of the Conscription act would he mere trespassers, and to res is. them would be every one's right and duty. It is not possible that such collisions will he provoked, and we conclude, therefore, that for the present tliepeo ple of I'ennsylvmiiauro relieved ih mi the terrors of the conscription. There is nothing left, therefore, for those who recognize the necessity of tilling up our arrays, but to turn their attention to the encouragement of volunteering. It is obvious that tin 1 I'resi dent prefers that method of raising soldiers, or he. would not have again resorted to it after hav ing tried the other; and respect fur his opinion will, we trust reconcile our political opponents to the necessity which they arc now, under of depending upon freemen to light their battles for them.— ei'je. True and Faithful. The Democratic party, (says the Albany At* yns) since the war commenced, as well as before, lias been true to its traditionary character and faithful to the Union of the States and the Con-1 stitution, which forms the charter and bond of union.—lt has cheerfully supported an adminis tration, not of its own choice, with the men and means to suppress the rebellion, and it has pro tested against no measure directed to that end, warranted by.thc Constitution and tho laws. — It has protested against the exercise of arbitrary power, the suppression of free speech and a free press, the invasion of the liherty of the citizen, and generally against all violations of the fun- i dnmental law of the nation. It does protest a- 1 gainst conducting tho war for the overthrow, in stead of tho support of the Constitution—-for the subjugation ami extinction of States, instead of their restoration to the Union. In a word, the Democratic party is simply true to itself rod its past history. It. stands ftby the Con stitution and tho Union, against all attacks, whether from secession nt the South or Aboli tionism at the North. It. lights in defence of our nationality, as established by our fathtrs, against all enemies. This is the head and (rent of its of -ndiug—And this is denounced by a venal and corrupt press, by arrogant and usurp ing officials, by windy orators and by heated partisans, as "treason!" "If this be treason, i make the most of it." Tlio traitor is he who | is unfaithful to tlio Constitution, and that brand I belongs upon the foreheads of those who make those assaults upon Democrats. W'J'hcre is no late news of importance from the Army of the I'otuaiac. ■ Apportionment, of Representatives. The assessors of the various boroughs and townships of the State are tins year required to niako duplicate alphabetical lists of the names surnames und occupations of every taxable of the age of twenty-one years and upwards, male or female resident within their respective dis tricts; ulso a separate list of the number of all negroes, rauluttoes and people of color held as slaves, distinguishing their sexes and ages; also, the number of the blind and deaf and dumb persons within their respective districts, distin guishing their sexes colors and ages. The ob ject is to enable the Legislature to apportion the Representatives for the several counties. Political Interests Retarding the Union Armies. The effort of the radicals to make political capital out of our brave soldiers as well as the taxpayers of the nation, although successful in the recent political battles, we hardlv think they can again be used for a like purpose. The masses are slow to lose confidence in their rah rs oftentimes suffering a series of outrages be fore they diivedroni power the authors of their wrong. The friends of the State and National ad ministrations declare without reservation that thru hare the control of the military rote, and will im it atjuimst the Democracy if the several States in the electione or' 18li i. Freemen of the States, if we suffer a picked vote to decide the political issues of the country we deserve the position of slaves. The Demo cratic party contend from principle that the soldier should have all the rights of citizens, a uiong which is a free expression of choice at the polls, and should not be compelled to vote as a brigadier general, colon?! or captain says. The soldier is a freeman by our laws, afur us well us before ho entered the army and the? man that will deprive him of a single constitutional right is unworthy tiie name of freeman, and should be frowned down by every American citizen.— We have always beta in favor of giving the widest range of thought to the people, it is a cardinal dootriuo of the Democratic party, one thai they cherish among the sacred relics of '7(i. The armies of the republic would have gain ed a complete triumph over the States in rebell ion ere this, if the original purposes of the war had been adhered to. The fatal error of Pres ident Lincoln was made when he listened to the revolutionary eoucils of Sumner, Greeley and the radical spirits of Nciv England, who from the beginning of our national troubles Juno sought the overthrow of State laws as well ;?s the subjugation of the people, by the use of now powers foreign to those that have hitherto controlled our national interests. The Robcspieres and Jeffries of to-day, who rule at Washington, arrogate to themselves the right to make tests of loyalty, in loyal Stntos mid issue edicts against all who question such a course of procedure. The friends of Consti-' tutioiial law who raise their voice against such violations are called by these modern Unionists , "copperheadsthe followers of Jeferson and! Jackson, ot Clay and Webster, "rebel sympa thisers;" the advocates of a restored Union, and all its guarantees "friends of the South; while those who denounce the Union, as a "league with death'' and the Constitution "a ; covenant with hell" are called "loyalthose, who say "let the Union slide," 'Unionists;"! those who seek the subjugation of Slates, ex- j ccedtngly "loyal." 1 lopli in authority, inntcnit of lining the ! treasures of the nation fur the express purpose of putting down the rebellion and ending the war, in many instances scatter it like the leaves j of Autumn, where it builds up political inter- \ ests that arc nt issue with those entertained hy ! the peopl '■ To preserve the Union all true pa triots are willing, not. only to contribute their i goods but life itself, rather than witness itsdes- ! traction, but are not'willing to build up slruc-! turns over its ruin, or see others do so without i having t lie right to act as becomes freemen. i Who, wo ask those in authority are responsible for the prolongation of this civil contest? Are! not those who disburse the money and load the, armies ? The people are anxious to see this rebellion ; crushed and otir Union restored, it is the South-! Crn rebel and Northern radical who dreads the! j return of lawful authority, and will protest a-; | gainst such a result. President Lincoln must j discard the extreme views of the Republican j party if he wishes to do justice to the true men i ol all seciions. Wo trust the conservative el ement will'eheek the wild ravings of the na tion and do much towards legalizing the actions of the XXXA 111 Congress. Reason must t.ri uninh, and that speedily, or wo sink to rise no more.— Williamsport Democrat. The Subjugation of tile South. The following is an extract from Governor Seymour's speech at New York Ciiv : "Now, I assert that the people of the North arc as deeply interested in preserving the con stitutional rights of the South as the people of the South themselves arc. You can have no peace in the land while one-third of the peoplo feel themselves wronged and trampled upon.— livery man knows you can have no peace in the land unless all the people stand upon the same platform as regards their constitutional rights and privileges, and enjoy equal terms in all respects with reference to the Government. | Rut, on the other hand, suppose we spend more money, and blood and treasure; suppose we encounter all the hazards of a prolonged war; suppose we were so fortunate, indeed, so unfor tunate, as to bo able to suhjugato the South— what then? I tell you such a peace as that is no peace in no senso of the terra. [Applause.] Subjugation makes occupation necessary; it necessitates a waste of treasure, it keeps up the cost of war; it demands the waste of blood, and treasure, and life of the people, for all know that life is wasted on Southern soil, wast ed tinuor the Southern sun in moments of in activity as well as in actii o service. Such a peace, if net a luoekery and a snare to call it • i peace, means what ? That the people of the j North are to maintain great armies; to send i forever their son- umh 1 one perpetual conscrip tion, to hold their hi liven in the South in sub- Jjection. [Applause.] if not conciliated, if not j reconcih d, by generous treatment, what hope | is there of peace? But what is the proposition? i That they shall bo held by military force at the ! expense of the life ami treasure, ayo, ami at j the end at ihe expense of the people of the North. [Cheers.] What would be our resolve j under like circumstances? What man would be J so tnr.d who would not dare to say, in tlio face of the people—if perchance it had been our i sad misfortune to be brought in collision with ' the Government—that New York could bo j kept in the Union more easily and mote sccure -1 I)' by war.and confiscation than by giving iicr •' just rights by confiscating her people, by restor in;* the love of Union and love of tlio Consti tution, which should ever dwell in the heart of the American citizen"? [Applause.] The "rent conservative party is contending for tlmt which is most easily gained—that which can he recall ed with the leant expense of life, and hlood, and treasure. And, raoro than that, wo are contending for that which when gained is tar more valuable than tlii'subjugation of American •States." [Applause], Proof of Marriage. It net unfrcqucntly happens that clergymen, in marrying a couple, oinit to give a certificate of the marriage, or to make any registration of it. Such evidence is rendered especially impor tant just now. as, in the ease of the death of a soldier, the widow must have a certificate of marriage before -ho can receive a pension. A New Jersey paper, in speaking of this subject, as it respects that State, says that, upon search ing tiie records within the past year for mar riages, nearly half of the unfortunate widows have been turned away with the remark, 'The clergyman performing the ceremony has ncylvc tcd to comply with the law." RESIGNATION OK GENERAL SO HENCE. —VVe | learn from the Washington Star that iM.ijor Gen. Sclicnek, several days -ince, peremptorily tend ered his resignation as a major general of vol unteers in the United States service to take ef- I feet on the 2i)th of December, 18fid. 11 is res- I ignation has been accepted by the President, and the latter part of this week Gen. Nchenck will transfer the command of the Middle De partment, eighth army corps, to Brigadier Gen. Lock wood, who lias been ordered by the .Secre tary of War to the temporary command. Gen. Lock wood is a brigrdier general of volunteers. Wo hear it further stated that a number of the gentlemen at present on the staff of General Nchenck will retain their positions under Gen. Lockwood. General L. is a citizen of the State of Delaware, and previous toenteriiigtlui army held many important positions in hi.s State, it is understood that General Soheack, upon his retiring from the command of the depart ment., will repair to bis home in Ohio to arrange his private affairs. He will take hi.s seat as a Representative from Ohio in the House of Kep resentativcs in the Congress which assenil 1 s on the first Monday in next month. SS-The Republicans in Illinois are threatening n revolution in that State. The Legislature is I)emocratic—strongly so—and their proceedings arc not. of a character, of course, to please the Republicans. This Icing the case, the Chicago Tr 'nine gives Governor Yates the following ad vice : Governor Yates can pursue but one course, and that is to disperse the body as Oliver Crom well did the refractory Parliament, which had become a disgrace to the nation in his day.— These traitors have no rigl t to come here to plot more treason, after having beeft sent about their business. Let Governor Yates give way to no weak and puerile advisor, whether in our out of the state-house, in caso these fellows attempt to sit. again, hut. act according to the dictates of bis own mind and conscience in this matter. — The issue w Inch traitors have been seeking to bring on this state ever since the commencement of the war might as well be tried now. The times are auspicious for a favorable termination of it. What amiable creatures these radicals are, to he sure. Latest from Charleston, Shells Thrown into the Cily—The Sen Wall of Sumter Entirely Destroyed. NEW YORK, NOV. 'JO.—A Morris Island iot ler of the I!)th says that nineteen shells were fired into Charleston on the 17th iast., falling ipto the most populous portion of the city. On Sunday a very heavy rebel lire was con tinuously poured into our batteries from the rebel works. There is nothing new to report from the fleet.
