The London Kevn of July 23 i-ays: ".Mr. Gladstone, who wns unable to be present on Tuesdnj at the inauguration of thP Palmer eton memorials, vimied liouiscy yesterday, and addressed a lare,e assembly in tront'of the Town hall. The .Major presided, and several members ot the Corporation were preseut. Tue Kiirht Hon. W. Cowper, M. P., also attended. The Major having lutroduced Mr. Gladstone, a complimentary address to the right honorable gentleman was reaa oy toe town cit;ra. Mr. Gladstone then saidi I had the advan tage ot being one oi the colleagues of Lord Pal-inert-ton, and I will not disguise, since it Is no matter 01 mere' pcrrona) egotism, that I look back with much satistaciion uon mauy labor performed in concert with turn, and in the ad ministration ot which he was the head labors which 1 trust have not been wholly without advautage to the country. We, the people of the Uut ed Kingdom, are the stewards of a great and noble inheritance, which it is our duty not only to enjoy but to improve an inheritance with re-pect to which it is our business to admit that there remains much which requires the application of effectual and ever vigorous runedy in one portion In particular oi the Unmd Kingdom. (Cheers.) But aiier allowing lor all this, it is a noble inhe ritance, and the one desire which, animates us all is that, if we have received it as a great treature irom our loreiatbcrs, we may be able to hand It down to our children a greater trea sure still. (Cbeerc.) Tne custody ol this treasure is now committed, in a measure now far exceed ing the precedent of tormr times, to the hauds oi the people thembelves. The responsibilities of parliamentary Me nave rarely been greater than they are likely to be durina; the Parliament that wnl asaetnole in the month of December next. Tbe rulLd and intelligence ot Great Britain have recently beeu addressed With a new Intensity to the condition of Ire laud (hear, hear) aud a proiound impression has sianiped itself on the minds of all In the rust place that Ireland is ill; and in the second Jiiace, that ll Ire. aud be ill, and so Ion as Ire und is ill, England aud Scotland caunot be well. (Hear, hear.) 1 sometimes am tempted to wish that that sea whica separates us from oar Irish coumrjtuen could be lor a time removed. It is a subject oi old observation among intelligent men that distance enormously and inordinately alters the view which men take of public attaint. It has been said that to hear of a broken arm in our own house or our village would more Impress the raiud than to be told that a town ot leu tnout-aud men nad been swallowed by an earthquake in China; aud applying this principle upon a more moderate scale, I must express my conviction that this is likewise true of Ireland, separated though it be iroui us only by a narrow strip of sea, for 1 do believe that if we weut backwards and ioraroB, irotn England to lrelaud, trora amotg Englishmen to ue among Irishmen, as you here may pass irom tiantpsuirc to Wilts, we should long auo have acquired some true and just conception of the great duties that ai t still incumbent upou us with reiereuce to the bister island, and ot the re-pousibiltty that we have to discharge. (Hear, bear.) In some considerable degree we trust thai, witain the limits of Great Britain it ma be taid we are a unites people. We may have our differences, auu we always shall, ana iney are serious u mere rices upon many alfuira, but noiith-tandiug that we are in the mam a untied people. The masses of tue people irom the highest to the lowest are attached te the Queen, to the throne, to the Government, to the laws, to the institutions ot the country, and attached to one another. But when we cross the Channel we unfortunately come, not to & suited, but to a very divided country a country divided in itself, ai d a country a large portion of whose people it is pamlui to cou'eos it, but it is tor out we.ltaie as wen as theirs that we elioulJ not blind oun-elves to the undouoted fact a large portion of whose people ur,e either dull or indif ferent in their attachment to ihe rest ot the Untied Kingdom, and to its laws aud insiuutious as meu positively eitrauged from them. Now, geutleuien, do not let us deceive ourselves. For it is shockiug, v it oc true, that aiter seven hundred year of political action bet ecu Great Bii'aiu and Ireland uot of equal political connection, Out of con nection, up to a quite recent period, as between a superior aud a subordinate country, entHillag nearly tue whole responsi bility upon the superior country, and taking it away Irom tbe auo ruinate country it is pain ful, 1 say, to bear tba;. a ter seven centuries ot such connection this condi. ion of fundamental vstraneement thould still, to a lamentable degree, prevail. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentle men, we proposed what I, in my sphere, shall eiirieavorto do what I believe my iiaht honor able ineud near me, if honored with your suf frage, will co-operate in doiot: Is this: We propoi-e to try no other medioine lor the slmer country tlan the medicine oijustice. (Cheers.) We have no musical arte to practice; we have no special rec pes or lorinuiary, or tine phrases to dare 'e before you or b'ore the eyes oi Ireland. We propose to apply relitfioua equality io Irelund to remove tne ista'e Church which now exists thf re (cheers and cries of "io") and carefully to avo d, aud i necessary to reMst. the erection oi any other Sta'.e Church. (Cheers.) We propose in apply this meth id, not because it is a im tb d nece.-sanly suited to all circumstances and all couutn-s, but becauie it t emini ntly suited to and required by the circumstances aud thf case of lrelaud. FRANCE. Am Alleged ReToluiloaary Manifesto? A letter irom Paris of July 22 bays: The Pays follows up the Kiuperoi's Foutrtiuebieau lecture on poll teal astasduatiou 1J publishiug, with a great o arum ami flourish of trumpets, a bulle tin dated Paris. June 24. 1868. puiportiuir to n ni ate lioin ,-i'he Central CowailUee of Action of the Kevolu ionary Commune ol Paris," and beinir an apoctl io lusirrectiou aud the rnuider of tbe Emperor. The fays asserts that what it now publishes is a copy ot a printed papei, "cucula1 inn Horn hand to hand in all Paris:" but tu prciuttrj articie, wiitteu by M. Paul de CaHsaunac, is scarcely cuuoisiem Wi'b this ailcitHiiou, tor iho writer says dm has just received "ihe uctum by post in a sealed envelope." How, th n. does he know thtt it bus beeu lamely cr at all circulu'cd in Paris f I never in my lile saw a document looking more like a lubricatiou by oue of that ueculiar dual t)t police agent called agvnt provocateur, of whom all French governments ' hnd a great maDT at their service. It Is headed "Liberie I Jtga'itet Iraternitel Jiepubicus Franeaxse,'" and begins in this way: Citizens There is a fatal hour for citizens as wel as tor klnes. The irrevocable word which liberty in her wrath hurls at kings it may also nay contemptuously to peoples too late I The time has come to inquire whether or not France is to live. Ihe tyranny of the second empire has borne the same fruits as the first the natu ral fruit of every reign of a single individual. The country is in daneer. Its danger follows upon its shame, and that Is Just. Loss of lib erty, loss of honor, loss of capita) and credit, loss of all our physical and moral force, loss of oar Influence In the preseit, ot our most noble traditions ot the past and ot our hopes for the future, loss of our conscience and of our confidence in ourselves. Fifteen milliards of debt in flitecn yiarsl Buch Is the schedule of the second empire, worse even than that of the first. It is time to take counsel lor the com mon tafety. France can endure no more. The covp a'etal brought her slavery; tho Mexi can and Koman wars disgrace: the perpetual borrowme svstem ruin, and tho military l iw death. Our riehts, our gl ry, and our purse are past praying lor. Our very existence is in ques t on. Fire I'Empfreur means 'Death to Fritjce." What must we do? Why, do as he did. A slncle man made a coup d'etat against France; a whole people may make one for her. Let oar cry, then, be, Vive la France. Down wlih the Emperor. 1 hie exordium contains the whole substance ol the bulletin. Reports from Paris state that a violent revo lutionary niauilesto published by the Paris J'ays, which was circulated iu London a month ago, seems to be generally looked upon as a mere fabrication. Tne Avenir NaUorvxl sug gests that it has been manufactured for govern ment purposes by government agent!, and says it is not the first time that documents of an equally alarmirg character have appeared on the eve of an electoral coutest. It is surprised at the facility with whtch such papers cir culate. Th,ev reach the journal, it says, alinott without disguise, and the police, who are so clever on that occasion, know nothing about them and cannot discover tbe authors. The Avenxr actional, however, warns its readers from keeping a collection of such documents, as they might entail upon the possessor tbe sus picion ot belonging to a secret society, or of desiring to assassinate the Emperor. Scarcely any notice ot the manifesto i taken by the other Paris journals, and the lemps had neither seen nor heard of it until it appeared in the J'ays. According to the Tarts Figaro, the French Government is reported to have it In contempla tion to abolish the second ballot, which is now necessary in all elections when no caudidatc ob tains the absolute majority ot the votes at first polled. Tbe rea-on lor the measure is believed to be that at these eecoud ballots all parties co alesce aealnat the official candidate. A Paris correspondent says that the change would amount to a coup d'efat, and that, if carried out, it will be universally denounced as an audacious robbery in extremis ol the people's rights. Cable ComnaunlcatloM with tbe TJMltsd States. The Paris Union, adverting to the concession lntel made by the French Government for an dec lie cable to the United States, gives the following explanation on the eubjectr The line is to be divided into two sections, the first comprising the part between Brest and fct. Piene-M quelon, about 2688 nautical miles, and the .econa the pace between the statious at 8t. Pierre and Mew York, or vso miles, ruio route has the double advantage over the existing tele graph of serving for the French fisheries of fJewoundlund aud of being less costly in construction. The straieht line, in fact, oners almost insurmountable difficulties, in consequence of the currents and deptrs to be met with at every step, whilo that adopted by the new company follows almost invariably a lrne of table land, tbe known bottom of which allords a certainty of success. The French cable should, according to the terms ot the charter.be inaugurated by the 1st of August. 18C9. The concessionists have consequently already placed themselves in a position to fulfil their engagements by taking into association the most eminent and practical men of England ana irancn in me science ot electric .teie erafiby. The laying down of tho cable will take place in tbe months of July and August, ibuu. tne two nest or tne year tor such an ope ration. Tbe rtudits of the project are termi nated, and an additional guarantee is furnished bv tbe lact that tbe nersons who will Invest their capital in this really national work hfte conducted their examination with equal intelli gence aud prudeuce. Tbe trace which has been preti rred assures success, whll-t the other was lull of peril and uncertainty. One of the great de'ecis or tbe line which unites England to America is the high rate charge, nut tbe new one will not have tbe Fame Inconveniences. The charter, in Using the maximum tariff at one hundred francs for twenty words, has estab' lished a comperitioa which will be advantageous tome new enterprise. A leariui accident is reported from Eontaine- bleau. Works ate in progress there to bring the waters ot the Vanne to fans, a landslip took sluce on July 20. and buried eight men alive. When the earth wbs temoved four of them were dead, and the others so much Injured an to leave out little hope ot their recovery As soon as the disaster was made known to the Emoress. her Majesty, with that kindliness v hich entitles her to universal respect and ad not ration, in mediately took steps to place the fum i lies ot the victims beyond the reach of want. T e report that the Empress had arranged the marrtace of her niece, the Duke ot Alva's daughter, with tho Dike do Fotomayer is con radieted.

Telegraph Exteaaloa mm A Receipt. TheDefjatfeof Vienna publishes a report of M. Mahy, Director ot the Austrian telegraphs, Horn which it appears that the extent of tbe latter in the risieithan counties Is 1913 German miles, with 4C17 miles of wire, besides 1253 miles oi line used lor railway signals. In the course of 1807 seventeen new offices and tortv-six auxiliary stations were opened, and, In all, 858 were at work at tbe end ot the year. Tuo-e in Hungary are 135 in number. In June, 18C7, a treaty was coLcluded with Turkey, in Weotem ber nve others with Switzerland, iu virtue of wbebagreat portion of tbe English corres pondence wi.h India has been diverted to the Austrian lines. In the year 1S67 2.217,92 drs patches were sent off from "heCii-leitliau olllcea, pi duclng a receipt of 1,623,922 florins.

On the U'u ot July nnmtroiis assemblages were formed : the director of police, Kiaud, had his hat biokeu ai d was obliged to drav his sword io fre himself irom the crewd which menaced lil ui. A rumor of tne resignation ol Karon de Kicb having spread, tbe town was suddenly illun ii aied. The windows ot the Bishop's lefiilence, which were not lit up, were sf it-fed, as well as those ot a merchant who several times refused io do as other people aid. One of the territorial guard was wounded in a ro and carried to the h spital. Tbe same nisrht numbers of peasant! were seen entering ihe place armed with guns. A young mau was killed the previous day near i lie Caie Ferri. Moubary notions were pla carded on all tbe walls iuvitine tbe population to pay the decea-ed the last honors. An us known hand wrote at the bottom of tbe posters, Ver de fa. Tbe police did not anpear uneasy at these tbreateuing smptoms. The funetal took place aud an immense crowd was present, but no disorder occurred. GERMANY. The Ilelattoae Towards Italy. The North German Gazette has been Instructed to state that tbe passages iu tbe Prussian report on tne war oi ihuo, wnicn caused so much an noyance In Italy, owing to tbe disparaging manner in which tbe Italian army is spoken or, have been Incorrectly translated. It adds that all parties la Prussia do the tulles', justice to the im movable tirmuess with which Italy refused a sengra'e treaty of neaee. and to the valor dis played by her army. Tbe explanation of tbe North German Oaietie did not appear In time to fTevett General aeiia Mai mora from bringing he subject before the Italian Parliament, and. as already announced by te'egraph, tho Prus sian report is to bo met by an Italian report, now in preparation. GENERAL NEWS. The details of Mithtid Pasha's new scheme of a savings bank were announced in Constantino ple. Tue new establishment, desleued mainly for the benefit of the working classes, will receive deposits of tbe very smallest amounts, on which interest will be allowed at the rate of six per cent. The safety ot its funds will be guaranteed by the Government, and its im mediate control will be condded to the Council ot Htate, which has named an honorary admin istrative committee ot tour members tro c whom, Osmau Khemzi Kffendi and Balmourmii Esbret EUendl, are Turkish merchant of rertuto. ana tbe others, MM. Papali and PuzilcTintr- birzude. Christians of accepted responsibility by whom tbe Institution will be immediately controlled and its accounts periodically cneckr'd. Advices irom Macedouia report very favorably of the coming crops. The estimate Is that the corn crop will be a third more abundant than )i. st year. The silk crop also promises excel lentiy. Aitoeetber the prospects or tbe season, both for the Treasury aud the tanners are un usually good. An exiraoromary series or crimes nave just been committed at Verona by a man named Bezzatti, aged sixty-three. He had been recently dismissed Irom some employment under tbe municipality, and a prosecution was commenced aeaiust him lor embezzlement oi property oe- loneicg to the city. Recently, armed with a pitch lorK, ne entered a cate in wnicn the mayor was seated, and attacked him on the instant. inflicting several dangerous wounns; he then went out, and nieeiTug two persons, named Brescani and Franscescaini, killed the former and erievionsly n.iured the latter: he next entered another cate, and assailing the municipal assessor, M.

Telegrams irom Athens state that a conven tion had been arranged between the Hellenic Government and the firm of Laugrand-Damon-ceau for tbe construction of a network of rail ways by which the principal cities of Greece woald be united aud the country placed lu direct communication with the other portions of Europe. TJLXAS. The Mllllcam Klote-The Other Side of he Story Tho ttlotlatcltad by Rebels'. The telegraphic reports from Rebel sources were in enect that tne riots at Aiiuican, Texas, were caused by the insubordination of tbe colored people: but our exchanges show tbe tacts to re the reverse- tne ueoei wuir.es naving excited the riotB, and taken the occasion whicu they anordeu to km tne colored unmu men. We quote the Austin (Texas) kepublican: Tbe crowd endeavoring to make the arrest of the murderers were all negroes. The posse of the Deputy Bberiff were all whites. Tbe whites allege that they were tired upon, and acud in seii-detense. and under the legal autho rity ot the Sheriff. The result is that Irom titty to sixty negroes were killed, but not a single white man has been killed or injured, ino ac counts add that two railroad trains were seized, and that large bodies of armed whites were sent Irom Bryan and other points to Miuican. iteceutiy, an armea torce of two hundied whites surrouuded (an officer ot the United btaies, in f reestone couuty and rescued some prisoners from his hands. Oa the 4th of July, at Jellerson City, on armed force of three buudred men took possession of tbe place, fortified the housed, and picketed tbe roads leading to the city. What means mis? it is simply armea rebellion against the Government. The Reoels of Texas are to-day better armed aud better orcanized than they were during the late civil war. LTney are looking forward to the Presiden tial election, and tbe refusal to count the "while man's" electoral votes of the Southern States, which tbev nrouoso to elect m informal eiec' tions. ns they did tbe delegates to tns secession convention iu Texas in 1800, as furnishing tho time and tbe occasion lor the renewal ot the Rebellion under the auspices of the President ol the United States. Ibis is what all this means. The Rebellion may be said to be upon us. TESTIMONY OP A COLORED WITNESS. The freedmen had been in the habit of con gregating at their ball, which tbe Kcbs had termed "Hail of the Loyal League." Two weeks ago, a number of the white citizens pro posed and openly a'owed taat they would break up the Loyal League. They eatne there in the night, fully armed, to tbe number ot twenty or mote, and fired several shots into the house where the colored men were cougrcgated. It was then agreed by tbe colored men that, if ibey came there aeain to molest tbero, they, the colored men, would protect themselves. Aloth insr further occulted until Tbursday last, when tbe Rev. Mr- Brooks, a colored pastor, with twenty-five men, went to learn the fate of u colored mun who was reported to nave been hanged on the evening previous. On their return tu their homes, in a peaceable and law-abiding manner, tbey were waylaid and nreu upon y a oouy oi wnue citi zens, who lay in ambush lor them, killing two colored man. This occurred without any threats or acts ot violence on the part ot the colored men. Tbe whites thru increased in numbers to over three hundred. They went to every coloied house and took what arms and munitions of war tbey could find, aud deliberately killed or wounded every colored man tbey could find. I am really and positively sure that tbe num ber of colored men killed will reach (60) sixty, while not one of the whites were killed. I was one of the party who had to run away, thus having my lite. Tho whites went to my bouse, and took away three gum I had, and broke and destroyed all my household lurniture. It is a well-known fact, which can be fully proved here, that it was a wilful determinatiou on the purt ot disloyal white men to murder every Luiou man, white aud colored, in the neiehborhood. The leaders of tits outrage were three ex-Uebels, named respectively Ileuder?on Ilirdie, t-amuel Kdwarda, and George Stout, who rende here. Governor Hamilton corroborates this testimony. Croat Fire In the Michigan rinerlest The Milwaukee Wisconsin says: The fires are doing a great amount of dumage to the timbers In the Micoigan pineries. Judges estimate that 10,000 acres of pine timber have been already burned, aud the Ores are still raemg. Most of that burned beloneed to E. B. Ward. The loiging camps of Mr. Ludingtou, of this city, have been in danger, and only by tbe most active measures have tbey been saved. All tbe pet ple who can go are out lighting the fire. The Ludington liecord says that during the last two years at least 15,000 acres of timber have been burned so as to piova a total loss to tbe owners. Good judges say that pine burned at ibis season ot tbe year will uot be damaeed so as to be unfit to cut the coming winter, but alter tbe first year U becomes worm-eaten, rendering It unfit lor market. Tbe smoke from tbe tires has bung in deute masses over the western bbore of the lake for several days, A CURIOUS CASH. Wealth, PlTorce, T.oTe, euad Medlclae asyaiealona &ath or ah aterioue per- The last number of the Erie (Pa.) OatetU tells the followinu story: A ladvi arufd Mrs. Rlggs, who had been llvlni at the old Martin Hotel in Girard (the landlord is Mr. Albee, we believe), and engaged In super intending the election ot a fine residence for hcr-eli on Rice avenue In thai flourishing bor ough, died quite unexpectedly on Monday. She came to Girard recently, intending to make bcr lew house ber home lor It e. 8oe was reported quite wt altby. The Dispatch says that foul play is suspected, and mat tUMcmzrus or uiraid have resolved to Investiea e tbs matter. We have additional particulars of the Girard case. Mrs. Riags is originally from Philadel phia, wbere, we believe, she married. Her first niisb'md, wbo.-e name we have not learued, lett ber f 410.00O. A few years since she married ber present husband, Mr. Biggs, of trie well Known and wealthy baokaig house of that name in New Yoi k. t-he retained her own pro perty, and was worth at Io ist $200,000 when she died. Her business agent is a brother of her first husband. His wile is dead, his daughter, o youna lady, has been with bitn, waiting cn Mrs. KifgH. Tae latter had a suit for divorce peuding agaiust her husband, and, it is snid, ultimately Intended to marry her business manager. She was taken sick a week before she died. This agent and his daughter excluded all otbers from waiting upon ber, and tbe agent, pretending to some medical skill, administered ether, chloroform, and eucti other thirds as he preierred. A doctor lived across the road irom the hotel; be was not allowed to be called. The dead lady's agent took entire control of her case. Since her death the daughter has become seriously ill her father also actine as physician tor ber. A tew days before Mrs. Rigss d ed, an in erior-looking woman came to help her agent tuke care of her, and claimed to be her nlser. Many circumstances looked so Btranee tbat the laudlord said that a post mortem examination should be held on Mrs. Rtegs' body but on Monday night It was removed to tbe residence ot Dan R'.ce (who Is an intimate acquaintance of the said business agent) with the intention of taku.g It to Phila delphia tor burial. So lar as could be ascer tained, Mrs. Riggs' immense property gies to tbe sick daugnter of ber agent, and it the daughter dies to tbe agent himself. The affair has caused a cre.it deal of excitement at Girard, and there aro prominent citizens there whose duty it is to at oDce call on tbe authorities for a thorough investigation of the entire matter. POLITICAL. Messrs. McCrary and Clagett, Republican and Democratic candidates tor Congress in tne First District, Iowa, bave arranged tor nine meetings for joint discussion. It is in contemplation to bold three soldiers' mass meetings iu New Jersey during tbe coming campaign one at Camden, one at Trenton, and the third at Newark. When Wade Hampton left Columbia at the approuch of Sherman's army, he announced that he was "bound to Texts or hell." Ue was broutrht up in tbe Democratic party. The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard says: "The Democratic parly deliberately sacrificed thou sands of white men in order to save their slaves, and yet it culls itself a white man's P" 1 no wheeling intelligencer states that a friend left the following at that office: "Toast lor tbe Demociatic Party 'Here's to the old Democratic ship. She needs but one sea more (Seymour) to sink her."' The Chicago 'ltmes says that the present CoLgresb is a Congress of traitors, to which the l'osi of the same city replies: "The only refu tation of this calumny we need to make is to say that the 2ime opposes Congress." The rebel flag has been raised again in the Soutb. The New Orleans Orescent says a steamer on the river came down a few days ago with the stars and bars flying. "Disperse the carpet-bag governments." Thai's the secret ot It." The Boston Jfost, the leading Democratic newspaper ot New rnghvnd, said ot Schuyler Colfax in 1863: "He is an intelligent, active, workingman; a good printer, a good editor, a good citizen, and has discharged bis duty con scientiously, we hive no douot, as a public man." The Columbus Journal thinks it will be a pleatant thing tor the Pendletonlans to put their hands into their pockets and tork over the amount of Baron Belmont's assessments tor campaien puruoses, to be used in trying to elect their dear irteno seymour, King oi me oona liokiers, avenger of the banks, aud golden re rieemt r ot bonds and greenbacks 1 Wade Hamilton auc his ex-Keoei comrades. in their wild crusade lor the overthrow of tne reconstruction laws, seem to bave lorgotten the following woroe inserted by General Grant is tbe parole of the Rebel officers on tbe sur render oi Lee: "The above named officers will not be disturbed by the United States authorities so long as tbey observe their parole and the laws in force where tbev reside." -r Howell Cobb, at tbe Democratic meeting in Atlanta, had the imbecile malice to tell the following ineffably foolish lie of Grant: "This man who travels over the battle-field and thrusts his sword into each dead body, is a man who can never get my support lor the Presi dency." In tbe whole history of political con tentions, we do not remember so badly con structed a lie as this. And yet Cobb knew enough of his audience to suppose It would be believed by some portiou of them. At a Seymour and Blair ratification meeting at Atlanta, Go., on of tbe speakers denounced the Constitutional Amendment as "prepared principally for the purpo-e of keeping out of ofllce such gentlemen and true patriots as Howell Cobb, A. H. Stephens, Robert Toombs, B. H. Hill, John C. Breckinridge, and Jefferson Davis 1" As the speaker named each of the patriots in the above list, there was a storm of cheers; but when be mentioned the name of Jetlerson Davis the hail was at once tbe scene of a wild and tumultuous uproir. Both delegates and spectators jumped to their feet as if ia ex citement uncontrollable. Hats and handker chleis were waved and 6haken fiercely above their heads, and yells aud shouts and cheers and wild stamping for the space of several miuutes shook tbe hall. Certaialy this Is what mbfht be expected irom a Democratic ratification meetiug. George Washington's Last Vote. The father of bis country was conscientious In the disclarge of every duty as a citizen, and never failed to vote. Tbe last occastou of his doing so was In the spring of 1700. in the town ol Alexandria. He died on the llth of Decem ber following. Tbe Court House ot Painax county was then over the old market house, ai d immediately fronting Gadby'a tavern. The entrance into it was by a slight flight of crazy steps on Ihe outside, aud while the-electlon was progressing several thousand persons being assembled around tbe polls Washington drove up in bis old - and well known family carriaee. Tho crowd spontaneously gave way, and made a lane tor him to pass through as he approached the Court House steps. A gentleman who was standing at Galby's door saw eight or ten pood-looning men immedi ately spring forward aud follow the General up the steps, in crder to support him If necessary. Accordicgto ihe custom of that time, the rive candidates were B'tting on the bench, who rose in a body and bowed profoundly ou the entrance ot Wasniugton. Very gracefully returning their salutution, the Register of Ue Polls said, "Well, Ceueial.how do you vote?" (It was thou by vica voce). He looked a moment at tho candidates, aud replied, "Gentlemen, I vote for meu-ures, not men;" and having audibly Pro nounced his vote, he made another graceful bow. aud retired.
