port bureau, at. No. 13f Smilh Seventh street, Phila

Department In regard to the Issuing of passports to
native-born anil adopted American citizens,
and is worthy of the attention of
nil who propose visiting foreign countries,
as they will save much trouble by complying with the
liiws of the land and procuring a passport. The
Government receives a t. of live dollars upon each
passport. Messrs. U'tirue . t'omtiany have. per
fected tliclr arrangements so that a passport can be
received within t wentv-fmir hours uftcr app'lcatlon,

this city: , m ,
l itizens of the Vnlted States visiting foreign coun
tries are liable to Berious inconvenience if unpro
vided with authentic proof of their national charac
ter. The best safeguard '.s a passport from this de
partment certifying the bearer to be a cltiy.cn of the
Vnited States. Passports are issued only to clti.eiis
or the I'uited States upon application, supported by
proof of citizenship.
Persons who leave the country expecting to obtain
passports whilst Hhrnnd from diplomatic or consular
agents of the Vnited Mates are liable to disappoint
ment, inasmuch as it is the duty of those agents not
to grant documents of that character except to per
sons w ho are certainly known to be entit led to thera;
and It is sometimes diillciilt, If not Impracticable, to
procure proof of this fact iu a foreign country.
Certificates of citizenship or passport issued by
State authorities are not recognized by the officers
of foreign governments; and by the twenty-third
section of the act of Congress approved on the 1Mb.
of August, 1H.'i, It Is made penal for such authori
ties and functionaries to issue such passports.
When liuBband, wife, and minor children expect
to travel together, a single passport for the whole
will suttice. For any other person in the party a
separate passport will be required. A new passport
will be expected to, b taken out. by every person
whenever he or she mav leave the United States,
and every passport must bo renewed cither at this
department or at a legation or consulate abroad
within one vear from its date,
Th oath of allegiance to the United States, as pre

AVc suppose It Is unite certain, and the Vir
ginia news confirms the view, that In any cir
cumstances the South will for a long; time be
opposed to the Northern Republicans. Party
and personal lecnni; drives tne leaders into op-
jvosition, and on sucu points ot Uittcrencc the
rank and tne win 11c even more earnest than the
leaders. The Republicans will obviously be nt a
disadvantage in lnliucncino; the South, as the
party tnroufrii wnose agency tne soutn was
overcome. ve need not be surprised, then, at
reconstructed Virginia casting its vote for the
Conservative party. It is quite intelligible, too,
that a large number ot tne negroes, it the tele
gram does not misinform us, should cast their
votes on tne same side, in any iree tsouttiern
election something like this must happen
Opinions go by persuasion and favor, and not
by reasoning, wnercver tncre are large masses
in action; ana tne negroes, ircsn irom slavery
remarkable as has been their display of
political intelligence, must be largely swayed
by the wnites wuo nye among tnein, who
know them, and to whom they have been
accustomed to look up. We doubt, how
ever, whether the Southern vote will continue
Fteadily Democratic; this would almost mean
the Permanent estrangement of the South from
the Union to which it is held. A majority of
SdO.UUO 111 lrginia. considering its population
does not imply even now au overwhelming
opinion on one side. 1 n governing party 111 the
Union is still able to maintain a llrlit and even
return two negro radicals to Congress. If this
can be the state of opinion a very lew years after
tne wnr, it is at least possible that chatnre of cir
cumstances and of social institutions, and the
lapse 01 tune, may aisiutegrate the majority.
as new questions arise, ana tne old watchwords
get out of date, the minority which is most iu
harmony with the new circumstances is likely
enough to be the growing party.
It is this last question which is perhaps the
most important with reference to tho Southern
future. The important feature of the revival of
Southern prosperity is the acceptance by the
people of the social system of the North. There
are too many testimonies to leave any doubt of
this fact. For good or for evil, as" they say.
the Southerners are accepting the abolition ot
slavery as the basis of their industrial life. Ni
other course, indeed, was left open, the precau
tions of the North being too stringent to prevent
the immediate revival' of slavery, and a single
generation of freedom being enough to make the
revival impossible. Still the cordial acceptance
of the inevitable might have been long delayed.
As it is, the Southerners are now making the
best of the case, and plowing, sowing, and reap
ing with all the energy in the world. In spite,
also, of some contradictory statements as to
negro idleness, they are mostly well satisfied
with the results, even talking of the abolition
of slavery as a good riddance. To quote the
private letter of a gentleman which we pub
lished some days since: "The slaveowners tell
you, with the most brazen faces, that they
are better now than tkey were before. One
large slaveowner said to me, 'The Yankees
whipped us out of slavery, but they could not
whip us into it again.' Another told me he grew
larger crops with twenty-five free negroes than
he had done with seventy-live slaves. They
have found out already than tho Rebellion was
economically a blunder." The question is
whether, with the Northern social system, the
South will absorb something of the Northern
sentiment, or will retain tlie antagonism which
was produced and was fed by a war for
the retention of tho opposite system. Thero
are many signs that the South can hardly
preserve "its animosity, but the experiment
will be every way a novel one, tried under singu
lar conditions. The elasticity of the State system
of the Union gives it an immense attractive
force, but It furnishes facilities for attempts at
organized secession, which may aain prove as
tempting ns before tho late war. Ilere. in Eng
land, our interest in the matter is mostly indi
rect. AVe cannot follow without interest the
political development of a portion of our own
race, but there is, fortunately, no cause left for
such fierce excitement as that which accompa
nied former contests.

suck a plot.
The Imprisoned FenlnnM.
The Fenian Committee, headed by Colonel
Warren, continued its calls upon tlie Cabinet
officers to-day, with ft view to ascertaining their
sentiments ou the question of imprisoning natu
ralized American citizens. Secretary Cox was
in favor of demanding the release of tho re
mainder of the American Fenians now held in
British prisons. Postmnstcr-ticneral Crcswell
was also favorable to such policy. The com

A not bfr English Colliery Explosion.
By AOantie Cable.
London, July 23. A colliery explosion oc-
eurred yesterday at St. Hilar's, a small town a
few miles east of Liverpool. Over thirty per
sons were killed outright, and sixty more or less
injured.
A WATER-SPQUT.
What It Did Alow tbe I.lnc of the Cumbcr
laud Kiver.
A Nashville paper tells this story of a water
spout which formed in the Cumberland river at
that place during a severe thunder-storm last
week:
"A whirlwind or miniature cyclone formed
just below the suspension bridge," and continued
its course with the bend of the river above the
water-works. So powerful was the whirl and so
great the suction force developed, that a regular
watcr-tpout six or seven feet In height was
formed, and was swept aloug tho river by tho
wind.
"Just above tho upper landing there is a
small bathing boat, which is titled up with ever
greens as a screen to the bathers as they perform
their toilets. At the time when the storm came
up, a party of nuout a dozen boys and men were
buihing iu th river, and had their clothes hung
on the evergreens which formed tlie side of the
boat next to Broad street. Along came the
water-spout iu its course, whisked the trees
from the tide, clothes and all, and sent the
whole far up into the sky.
"Away went the raiment of tho bathers before
their astonished eyes, tho spii iisof tho air crawl
ing in und out of the different articles, nnd try
ing all sorts of ways to feel comfortable and at
home iu them hut without success, Awavweut
tho clothes sailing through the air, and followed
by the anxious gaze of the bathers until, having
lita-n to a considerable elevation in tho region ot
tho water works, they disappeared from view.
The juirtv swam, some to the boat, which had
been drenched and partially filled with water,
and tlie others to tlie shore. All called loudly
for clothes, and each was eager to secure the
servic es of some one to go lor a change of attire.
A number of articles of apparel w ere finally
secured, nnd then there was great swapping
uinai g tho crowd to get fitted out. The whole
crew lintillv succeed iu getting sufficient cover
ing to evade tho law, and then started home.
The whole affair partook considerably of the
ludicrous, and caused much merriment among
those who witnessed this freak of the wind.
"This is the llrst water-spout that has been
witnessed in this section of tlie country, and the
rarity of the phenomenon renders it worthy of
more than a passimr notice. The regularity of
its movements in following the course of the
river is certainty singular. The suction forco or
liftiug power manifested was very considerable,
an wo have seen."

St. Simon allecres, as a proof of the absolute
power of Louis XlV, that for a period of ten
years his edicts ngaiust duelling were scrupu
lously respected in France. Even tho Grand
Monarque could do no more than this, and no
other French soverelgu has been able to effect
as much. The spirit of chivalry, as illustrated
by a propensity to settle differences by the
"Jugement de Dieu" (as single combat was
termed in the middle ages) survives to the pre
sent day. The spring which has just termi
nated has witnessed in Paris no less than a
dozen duels. This Is perhaps nn unsatisfactory
loiai, 11 jutigcu oy iub siauaara ot mo sixiccntu
and seventeenth centuries, when during tho
reign of Henri Quatre alone 8000 gentlemen are
computed to have been slain in these encounters;
hut the halcyon days of chivalry are past, and
we havo perhaps no right to expect more in
these degenerate times. It appears that the
pcntlenien of tho French press aro the principal
patrons of this national sport; sometimes an out
sider Is dragged into these little family affairs,
but the quarrel generally originates in a per
sonal attack by a newspaper writer. Happily,
fatal results are very rare, the seconds most laud
ably endeavoring to diminish, as far as in them
lies, the perils which environ the man who med
dles with cold steel or firearms; while the com
batants themselves seldom appear to desire
the "death of the sinner." One gentleman, it is
true, recently lodged a bullet in the hip of a fel
low journalist; but in most cases tho sword is
used, nnd "I'honneur est salisfait" as soon as a
hand has been scratched or a shoulder pricked.
This system is not quite in accordance with tho
line of conduct which Polonius recommended to
his son, but as long as the absurd practice of
duelling is in vogue, it ls well that it should be
conducted on philanthropieal principles, and
that we should hear no ruoro of people fighting
across a table, like Charles Lever's Irishmen, or
hacking each other to pieces like those ferocious
gladiators, the mignous of Henri Trois.
