The Beaver Argus. 3. WPSAND. BI TOR ♦RD PROPIittVOZ Feb. 14th, tS72. Trrs.Cincinnatti papers correct a current misapprehension touching the National Convention to be held them in May. It is not to be a nominating convention at all, but merely to 'de vise measures for a notnivation upon which all the opponents to General Grant may unite. It is not likely, therefore, that the independent Re .publicans t will put a ticket in the field, if at all, until after the Conven tion in Philadelphia on the fifth of June. Asi Li, of cousi derab le ltn portance to the newspaper fraternity of this State, was killed at - Harrisburg last week. The biil referred to originated in the Senate, and prescribed that in all li ble suits the truth should beadmitted as evidence; and itajury should find that the same was published from good motives and jpstifiable ends the defendant should ba4tequitted. This reasonable and just bill was presented and advocated by Senator Graham of Allegheny county, and opposed by Senator White of Indiana. It was finally considered in Committee of the whole and laid over, Whic' is re. - kganied as equivalent to its defeat for the present. From this it would seem _tt(at a majority of our State Senabjrs are afraid of the truth and still.insist upon retaining a law upon our statute books which prevents an editor from calling one of them a thief though he caught k 'hirn rifling a A tit cyfr, or with his hands in the State Treasury up to the armpits. We should think General White's opposi tion to this measurewill not accele rate his speed very _materially in the gubernatorial race. EA litY every Republican paper io in is now of the ()Pinion that Col. McClure was swindled out ofttie; - eat in the Senate for the Fourth district. Here are a few instances of how the election was carried for his competitor, Cot. Gray, the gentle man who was sworn in as a member of the Senate last week : In one &vision of the Isiliaeternth ward forty respectable citizens over and above the returns for McClure have made affi davit that they voted for Thin. In a divi sion in the Twentieth ward, during a cer tain boar. the vote b-r McClure was counted at three. Col. McClure has the affidavits of eight men who voted fat him in a taaly, in that hour, two clergyman beinzlaniong them He was also inform ed of over three hundred men who voted in the Nrneteenth ward, and who did not )live there. Also, in the same ward, in formation of three hundred names voted on, whose 1101 s: A FIDE owners did not vote at all. In a division of the same ward a certain name was voted upon by a repeat or, and then b) a genuine man, both for Gray. In' the Twenty secmd ward one division in a certain hour returned six votes for McClure That gentleman has in his possession affidavits of fourteen cit ciens who voted for him in that honr. In the Nineteenth ward the votel - n onedivi sioa was-counted seven for McClure for a certain hour. The window man challeng ed the count. Ile was beaten and driven away. Fourteen men have since 'made affi lava that they voted is that same hour. In another division 4f the Nine teenth ward double the number of votes for McClure, than were counte4,4ave once been affirmed by affidavits. • iti\one precinct t a li the district a police offleersvn ted six times for Gray. WHEN Congress met. on the first of December the Republican oppo sition to General Grant's renomina tion "seemed no larger than a man's hand." At about that time, a num of heavy defalcations on the part o office-holders were, reported, an. the independent, Republican press, together with a number of Republic an United States Senators, insisted upon% a general and thorough investi gation of alleged abuses. This was resisted by Conkling, Chandler, 4 'ameron, d:No. ; and at once nearly the whole tribe of office-holders from Maine to Louisiana, opened their bat teries upon these elai man is for official ' integrity, and ahus-ed them as no •class of men in this country Were ever abused before.

There has been much interest but no mark ed excitement at the . position of af fairs, nor apprehension that even should England recede from tho treaty results would follow more se rious in their consequences than ex isted before it was n&gotiated.

(Front the New York aerallti.l The United States have, time and again, been regarded by England as proper subjects for the diplomacy of menace. When we objected to Brit ish cruisers searching our merchant men tkhe sent a squadron here and burned our capitol, and would bevel continued her depredations but for the victory at New Orleans. When we claimed our natural boundary Oregon we were compelled to aban don our rights, under the threat of ai fleet, which overcame the nerves or the timid Polk and the treinbling - Buchannan. When we seized the persons of notorious rebels on the high seas—in the case of Mason and Slidell—we were commanded to sur render them in the most offensive manner. We were then In a death struggle with the south, and Palmer-. ston's menaces were welt timed and successful. During the rebellion England paid as little attention to our rights, to the sacred_duties of neu trality, to our professions .of friend ship and our ties oxblood, as she did to the pretests of China nn the opium queStion. When the South; broke Into rebellion she made hasteto treat them as belligerents, as a people en titled to a nation's rights, even before n battle was fought. 'During our war English money sustained the confed eracy, English ships, manned by English seamen, destroyed our com merce, and even the right of priva tecring, which had been solemnly denounced aS piracy by England was accepted so far as the South MIS con cerned, even after we had expressed a desire to unite in her declaration. The promptness with which we yield ed to the Palmerston policy of pres sure especially in the, Trent affair, is so freshly remembered in England that she naturally reverts to it_now in the Alabama question. THE Beaver Radical, in speaking of the apport ion men t of this State for members of Congress, in last' week's issue says: "The plain policy of the " Republican party in the Legisla• " ture is' to group the Democratic " counties together, and ereate stpong " majorities upon both sides. In the "presence of so much feud, selfish " nes.s, and small ambition as has "found its way into our party, it is "not safe to trust tvmall tnajori " ties." We agree with the Radical that what it advises is "plairr (party) pol icy," and nothing better could be done to secure the election, not of men of "small ambition," but of small men of large ambition. And so long as blind loyalty to party is the only qualification required for any office, this "policy" will be pursued. Hevvever valuable the "policy" of the Radical may be. to the class of men for ly hose benefit it is intended, it is against the interest of the people generally—in direst conflict with the principle of the Apportionment bill lately passed by Eongress, and the judgment of all honest men, as well as the experience and observation ofev ery person.since the organizatiOn of this government. If there is ;any- thing which will induce parties to pre sent their hest men for election to of fice. it is to have small party majori • ties," In that event principles, eSPa• bilities and character control, instead of chicanery and corruption. The record, pal nci pies and measures of public policy of the Republican par ty commend themselves to the judg meat ofall unprejudiced fair-minded men ; and the 'sooner it gets freed from the influence of the men, who advocate the "policy" of the Radical the better for the party. and thepoon er will feuds cease within it and har mony be restored.--Laterence Jour- 11=1:3 orty Secona Coogres's,.

To this must he added the cast of maintain ing the German army of occupation on French territory. According to ' nn arrang ement made last spring the Bank of France is hound to advance $80.000.000 to the Versailles govern ment, and then the whole amount of $306,000,000, which will have been borrowed, is to be repaid by the goy eminent by instalments of $40,000,- 000 annually for eight years. Inas much as these Instalments are to be gin at once, the bank really will now have to advance only a further sum Of $40,000,000. According to the bud get of M.

MIL EDITOR: Pnpular theology and Milton say evil originated in heaven ; They declare that there has been a rebellion among the holy an gels, headed by one individual angel called - the devil. near Milton : • Safari, po call him now, Ws former name le heard no more In heaven, he of the ant, If not the drat archangel, great In power. In favor and pre•emlnence.' —l.lb. 4 folio 140. And again thesame author, and on he same subject— "Brighter one amid the hosts Of appals, than tha t afar the stars among." Dr. Gill remarks, concerning the angels that sinned : "They were hurl ed out of heaven, from whence they fell tislightning," &e. But what to us appears monstrous, and which we think will be.very ill accounted for: " How came seeds,of evil to rise in ,the angelic nature, created in a state of perfect, unspotted holiness? How was it first found in a place where no unclean thing can enter? How came ambition, pride, or envy, to germi nate there? Could therobe offence where there was no crime? . Could untainted purity breed corruption ? Could that nature contaminate and infect which was always drinking in principles of perfection? Happy are we that the solving of these difficul ties rests not with us, neither to give a reason for it nor to assign catises ; neither do we think all ; the D. ll.'s in the universe are sufficient to the task ; nor the great Milton himself, after all his tine Images and lofty ex cursion upon the subject, has left the matter one jot clearer than lie found it. BAs we have stated before, evil ori ginated by one man's transgression. It did not originate in heaven. It did not enter through the agency of some foreign, wicked angel. How palpably absurd the idea that evil and rebellion should enter that holy habitation, among this pure and high order of created intelligence! To en tertain such a sentiment is a reproach upon God and his holy family of an gels. This world is the only theatre of evil and rebellion, of darkness and death, of which we have any account; and let us beware how we enlarge the dominion of sin and contradio.4 the truth of God by our traditions. That Satan is a fallen angel, a rebel seraph, mist out for his rebellion, the following texts of Scripture are ad duced : Isa. xlv. " How art thou ellen from heaven, 0, Lueifer;son of the morning!" This passage, by our orthodox friends, is supposed to teach the full of the devil from heaven.— Rut, we ask, who is this Lucifer, son of the morning? We are not left to fonjectuye, or to follow the fancies of li:speculative theory. The person is ,named to whom allusion is made, in the 4th verse. We have no senti- went of :Angels sinning and rebelling In heaven and falling from their high Mike and estate in that holy habita tion of God. I nstead of being in hea- ven above, he said in the "pomp nod pride of his heart," that he " would ascend into heaven, and exalt his throne above the stars of God," and would "be like the Most High."— This is the %ant hosting of a poor, mortal, puny 'nen, whom God hurl ed from his boasted throne of power and ctuit him away as an "abomina ble branch," and make him as a "mrcass troden under feet." Rev. xi'. 7-12. " And there was war in heaven. Michael and his an gels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought, and his angels." If any one supposes that this was a literal -war that took place in heaven among the angels, in the holy habit ation of God, he must have a wonder ful capacity to digest and interpret symbolic prophecy. This war is be tween Michael, or Christ and iiis an gels or saints, and the dragon—or the head of the Roman empire—and his an r ,crels or subjects. The dragon, that old serpent, called the devil and ea tan, is repre..t.itted as having seven heads and a long, powerful tail, draw ing a third part of the stars of heav en. N o w, how this can he made to fit on to one of the angjsin heaven, and how he can open a warfare with Christ arid .4airits before they are eongrers.,ited there ut!4 it must be, if he has been n devil from the begin- ningl, we havt those to'explain who are allied to 'twit a t henry. The saints, it appears, through Christ their captain overcame, in this war fare, the dragon or devil, by the blood of the Lamb Anil by the Word of their testimony ; and they loved not their lives unt.i death, the death they suf fered at the hands of this devil in their struggle against him. Again, when this war is over and the devil is east out, he is said to know that he hath but a short time; and,if this is at - br before the founda tion of the world, he has all the Hine the world will stand till the judg ment, to persecute and torment the mints, which can hardly be reconcil ed with or called a short season. The truth is, tb look this Scripture full in the face and undertake to make it harmonize with the popular theory of the origin of evil in heaven, is to extort from it the worst mid most un natural features that could possibt , he exhibited. Suffice it to say, then for the present, that whatever it teaches, and however it may be nit plied in the history of eh rist's church, it does not teach the doctrine of evil or of the devil as maintained in the popular creed. Ezek. xxviii. 11-19. This is sup posed to be very conclusive evidence that there has been rebellion-in awl hence this Scripture is made use ot arviirect proof of that rebellion. 'Ent, as in the ease of Babylon, this is a lamentation upon the King of Tyrus and his fall-and utter destruc tion, under the judgment and wrath of God, for his pride and national sin. Tyre was situated on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, and was allotted to the tribe of Asher. They were rt commercial and maratime people, and being friendly to the Ashurites, were permitted to remain. They made many presents to the Israelites and brought to Solomon much gold for the building of the temple, conse quently it is said : "Thou host been in Eden, in the garden of God, and very precious stones were thy cover ing." They were rich in gold rind diamonds and precious stones, and were permitted to walk up and down at pleasure In the midst of spiritual Israel—thestones of fire. They were a. very proud people. and thought themselves perfect in all their ways, till God at last tested them. By their friendship and seeming reverence for the Jewish worship, They gained a powerful influence over ail the tribes of Israel, and especially nt the court of Jerusalem; yet they were an idol ntrous people, and their influence over the Jews seductive In ifs tenden cy from the standard of truth and moral itywhich the God of Israel bad set up; and there was no way to open the eyes of the Jews to a discovery of theevil tendency of their influence only for God to take their case in hand and make such an -example of them as would terrify and overawe his chosen people, and make them afrnid to trans . gres.s his commands and yield to the' influence of an idol atrous nation however good and friendly they might apnea?. There fore God, after acknowledging their high character, wealth, reputed skill and Wisdom, and exalted privilege in Palestine—the Eden and garden of his people—exposes their true mor al condition; shows that they are cor rupt, and pronounces his Judgment upon them and their certain doom. There is not, in this description and prediction, so much ass), shade of ev- idence or reference to anything that ever took place above italOng the all* gels of God, neither can we tUnd such evidence in any part of the Book of But then, the evidence can be found if a rebellion in heaven is essential in order to sustain the theory. To this end we will appeal to the great Mil ton, In his famous " Paradise Lost:" There we shall find a full and minute account of the terrible war in heaven between Michael and the royal army of angels on the ode hand, and Satan with his rebel host on the other, in which he supposes the number and trength to be nearly equal; with rep resentations how he brings in the devil's army upon doubling their rage, bringing new engines of war into the field ! putting Michael and all the faithful ,army to the worst, and, in a word, defeats them; with an account of two or three th ousand millions of angels cut to pieces and wounded; and how he allows them to give over fighting and make a kind of retreat, so making way for the complete victory of the Son of God. Now, this is all invention, or at least blasphemy ; likewise a borrowed thought from the old poets and the giant against Jupiter, designed by Ovid almost two thousand years ago. There it was well enough; but wheth er poetic fancy should be allowed to fable upon heaven or not, and upon the King of heaven, too, that we leave to out demonologists and heaven rebellionists to answer, thankful that the burden of proof rests not with us. .I . hou sln of witchcraft—find-born child of crime!

About as Bad a Mess as Has Yet Been Discovered Anywhere. The New Orleans papers are filled 1 with the proceedings of the Congres sional Committee engaged in investi gating the Louisiana scandals. The facts that are being brought to light are simply disgraceful. Both parties I seemed to have trafficked in bribery to the utm .;, ,extent of their means and opport ' ties. Ex-Secretary of State Boyc e citified to the existence of a regular system of frauds at elec tions, for the purpose of returning men as elected, and cited the Com mittee instance on instance or , such shameless venality and abuses that its members must almost have doubt ed whether there was a single honest man in the ranks of the respective parties to the quarrel. Another wit ness, a civil engineer, gave evidence that he had purchased the votes of a number of the members, stating quite frankly that it was generally under stood that if a man wanted a bill passed he had to pay for it. Mr. Carr, the late Speaker of the Rouse, ad.- 'flitted that he had never visited the parish which he represented, and did nut know half-a-dozen of its inhabi tants, "ii friend" undertaking to have him returned without the trouble of his personal presence in the field, which was only accomplished by means of an infamous trikk perpetra ted upon the poor ignotSbt country negroes, who thought they were vot ing for a member of their own race; an of a' slmllariy sickening charlit ter is the bulk of the testimony that has thus far been taken.

[From the 1141tImore Gazette It has been given in evidence be fore the investigating Committee that New York merchants have dis covered it is cheaper to import thro' Baltimore th:in through their own port of entry, and that in quite a number of instances they have protitted by this , discovery. We now learn that until recently, the greater part of all the crockery im ported into the United States entered through the port of New York ; but that now, owing to the change in the classification of earthen ware in crates, much of the trade has been diverted to other ports, particularly to Baltimore. and that more of it will be eventually. The reason as signed is that it is cheaper , to the western merchant by 5 per cent. on the cost of an average invoice of earthenware to import through Bal timore than through New York. The other advantages to the mer chant who imports through Balti more are not state‘ie, but they are equally apparent. These are: lower Custom House charge- , , less loss by breakage or pilfering, less expense in the way of storage or cartage—where the goods are not sedt in sealed ;cars, under the new regulations, direct, to •t heir destination—and, in any' event, quicker dispatch. All these considerations are destined to tell upon our imports, and whon it is considered that, notwithstanding the somewhat longer voyage. of two car goes shipped from Liverpool on the same day—one to New York and one to Baltimore—the goods entering here can be laid down in Cincinnati, St. Louis or Chicago sooner than through New York, the gain to our port through delays in the New York custom Rouse cannot fail to be felt, especially as the cost of run ning steamers from European posts to Baltimore is greatly lessened by reason of the cheaper rate at which bituminous coat coat can be had hete as cqmpared with 'its cost at New York. New York Vick Mildew. A New York correspondent says: a summer or two ago. as I was pass ing from Boston to New York, an elegant team of horses came aboard the boat at Newport. The eye of the owner watched the embarkation.— The s.l „Ids were worthy of the vigil ant ca: s f the gentleman, and a more gorgeous turnout seldom rolled over the elegant roads of Newport. This gentleman whose name is as well known in Boston as any on your roll, lived in princely style on Mur ray Hill. He purchased a fine man sion, but pulled the inside all to pie ees to make it more worthy of his occupancy. Passing up the North river this week, I found this gentle man on board the train. His dilapi date I appearance and seedy garb in dicated reverse. I found the million aire penniless. He was absolutely poor. He had pawned his watch, his wife's jewels and his pictures to get bread.

He lives in a tenement house in Tenth avenue that is swarming with foreign poor. His wife, accustomed to move in elegant satoons,keeps house in two bedrooms, where the Jew, Irish, and Germans swarm by the hundreds.— He has perfect confidence that he wilt die a rich man, and dies benefactor of his race. Instead of taking to drink and gambling, as many, do, he has got two or three gigantic plans on hand. one or more of Which he Is very certain will put him on his feet. A Win With Three Arms Tho'" Will!swiped Gazelle and Bulletin is responsible for the follow ing: Among thipassengers on the train boundsouth last evening was a man born and raised in the county of Oswego, New York. His name is William Jacobs. He prides himself on three well developed arms and hands, the member extraordinary having groWn above the right shoul der blade. It hangs suspended down the back, and can be raised and lowered at will. In length it is shorter than the arms proper, but possesses extraordinary muscle, which he displays whenever occasion demands it. No person passing through a railroad car, or meeting him up-in the street, would observe any deformity, but after be coming cognizant of this singular case, would perceive the peculiar fit of ., his coat. He states that he has often been questioned as to why he does not place himself. upon exhibition, or become one of Barnum'srmanent attractions. His invariable pe reply is, that he is averse to public exhibi tions. His father being a wealthy farmer, he always preferred to re main at home, and was the most ac tive and profitable of farmer's help. He would assist in loading hay, and at the same time hold securely the horses' reins. On several occasions he came near breaking this unnatural member. by sudden falls, and at one time suffered the pangs of a full-sized felon upon. the fore finger. On one occasion, when about eigh teen, the village boys thought they would have a little sport at "three arms" expense, and commenced a system of blackguardism, followed by bold attacks upon his person. Forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and throWing off his loose garments went for them in true pugilistic style, arm No. 3 performing its duty no bly, and apparently ontrivaling Nos. 1 and 2. At the end of the skirmish six prostrate villagers told what a fierceopponent they had met. "Three arms," gained a notoriety, and never afterwards was persecuted on account of his deformity. At the outbreak of the rebellion he joined a New York regiment, and so distinguished himself by bravery, that he was fi nally promoted to captain, and rank as the best drill officer of the rot ent to which he was attached. At - the close of the war he returned to the farm, and has since remained there. He is now en route for the South to visit a sister somewhere in the-interior of North Carolina. It may be a query with some, how he could use his arm with the proper clothing upon his body. Alt his gar ments intended for laboring suits, were so made as to open upon the back, and close by buttoning, the same as a child's apron. Being, a man of fine conversational powers. an interview with him is especially agreeable, and he relates many pleas ant anecdotes of himself with great relish. CZ:I Afraid of Losing Interest. In Newark, New Jersey, a few days since, a i'touple who had done considerable courti ng concluded to get married. The wedding day had been fixed for about five weer ago; the young lady had procurred her outfit, and all the necessary arrangements were made. Rut on the night op pointed for the wedding the young man failed to put in en appearance. This, of course caused great conster nation, and no reason could be given for his action. The relatives and friends of the young lady were de termined, however, on finding the young man aforesaid, and have an explanation of - his strange conduct. They were successful in their search, and when they interrogated►as to his non-fulfillment of his pledge, he re plied that he could not get married without drawing some of his depo►- its from the savings bank, and if he did that he would to sic months' in terest ! The disappointed lady was almost distracted, and for sev eral days she refused to partake of nourishment. Her friends threatened all sort, of vengeance. and alai) a law suit for breach of promise. The young lady, however, loved the man still, notwithstanding his mean and contemptible action, and was in fa vor of pursuing a different course. The consequence was an interview was had, and all differences were amicably arranged. The engage ment was renewed, ante the "two I hearts were made to heat as one."

John Eaton, jr., Commissioner of Et I neation, it appears that there are in the United States, 368 colleges char tered to confer degrees in arts ; 163 female colleges; 94 medical schools, of which 57 are known as regular, the remainder being indicated as ec lectic, botanic, homeopathic, dental and pharmaceutical; 117 theological seminaries, and 40 law schools. There are -20 institutions for the education of the blind, and six others in which , the blind share the benefit with deaf ) mutes; 38 institutions for the deaf and dumb, and 9 asylums for imbe ciles or weak minded youth. The' adult illiterates of both sexes in the UnitediStates aggregate 3.637,442, of which . 2,389,591 are in the Southern States.l The Minor illiterates, be tween 10 and 21 ,r`years, aggregate 2,- 006,112, of which 1,6 9 8,144 are in te Southern States.

Is Your Alamo Brown' London has tiecently sustained a bereavement in the person of a lady of the not unfamiliar name of Brown. Some time back she offered the me tropolitan board of work 4 $250,000 if it would make a contemplated alter ation in' a street in the manner she wished, but they were unable t ac cede to her wishes. She generonsly offered them ,10,000 kr the erection of a drinking fountain to be plaeefl at the end of the street in which she lived, and this was about to be erect ed. The board also communicated with her about public baths, which she intended to erect at.a acct of $5O,- 000, when suddenly pallido morn, who had taken some time coming. for Mrs. Brown v as ninety, stepped in and dissipated her benevolent in tentions. She died intestate, leaving an estate of $50.000 a year, and with nut a humsn relative. It is therefore stated that the property will go to the crown, but there are several Browns about, It will be surprising if one of thatenterprising , and übiquitous fam ily can't substantiate- a claim.
