The Republican voters of the several election districts of Bedford County, ate desired to hold elections for delegate? to a County Convention hereby called, on SATURDAY, the 29th day of June inst.

Such other business as may be deemed iinpor (ant by the convention will also bo transacted. J. B. CESSNA, Chairman. J. T. KEAGY, Soc'y- A IM.ANK FRO.H the COITEKIIEAII PLATFORM. The Copperhead Convention which nomi nated Judge Sharswood for the Su preme Court, also adopted a platform which the Judge endorses, and on which he proposes to go before the people and ask their votes. The seventh section ol that platform reads as follows: Resolved, That the Radical majority in Congress, and those who sustain them, have overthrown the Constitution, dismembered the Federal Union, and subverted republican government by a long series of usurpations. This is as cool a piece of arrogant, unwarrantable and false assertion in the face of established facts, as ever was perpe- trated by a deliberative body, making pre tensions to common honesty and truthful ness. That, the very men, who plotted and schemed for five long years, in connection with armed rebels for the overthrow of our government, should, before the blood of our murdered soldiers has had time to dry upon their hands, and before those of their num ber who fled from their country's service had all returned from their disgraceful ex ile, have the hardihood to insult the public sentiment of the country, and charge the brave soldiers and gallant Generals, by whose bayonets and ballots the nation was preserved from anarchy and our liberties from destruction, with "overthrowing the Constitution and dismembering the Federal I'nion," almost surpasses belief, and could only emaDate from a body from which all sense of honor and regard for truth had de parted. Only a convention representing these who had been false to their country in the hour of her peril, and who had trai torously joined hands with her sworn ene mies, could be guilty of such falsehood and hypocrisy. The hopeless condition of their cause seems to have driven them to desper ation, and caused them to forget or disre gard the dictates of common prudence. Their old cunning seems to have deserted them in their extremity. It is well for the country, however, that their platform should exhibit, as it does, the determination of the party to uphold and cherish to the latest possible moment the spirit of rebellion, and to throw every obstacle in the way of recon struction, unless the policy of reconstruction is so modified as to place the government of the country in the hands of those who have done their utmost to subvert it. Such is the platform on which Judge Sharswood consents to go before the people of Pennsyl vania. A platform which declares that ev ery soldier who bore arms in defence of his country's liberties, every loyal man who lifted up his voice or contributed of his means to the prosecution of the war, in short, every one who was not a sympathizer with rebellion, was laboring for the over throw of Constitutional Republican govern ment. Such a platform would make every 1 nion General a traitor and exalt Robert E. Lee and Jeff. Davis to the highest hon ors of the land. .Such is Copperheadism, such its candidates, and such its principles. Lost to every patriotic instinct, to every principle of honor or honesty, and devoted alone to the hopeless effort, to uphold the defunct institutions of a by-gone age, a semi barbarous feudalism, and with them doomed to inevitable destruction. • 180,000,000. On the first of the present month there were in the United States Treasury one hun dred and eighty million* of dollar*. We have never had much faith in Secretary Mc- Uulloch's financiering, but of all his queer doings we know of none so unaccountable and unreasonable as the hoarding of hundreds of millions in unproductive idleness while the country is heavily taxed to pay interest on the public debt. The only explanation that suggests itself to us is, that he wishes to as sist Andy Johnson in his disorganizing schemes, by prolonging and increasing the financial embarrassments of the nation to the utmost of his ability. The excess of funds now in the Treasury beyond what is necessary to meet current expenditures, if applied to the extinguishment of the pub lic debt by the redemption of Government bonds would save the country about a mill ion of dollars per month. Why then should this not be done? Does the Secretary use these funds to engage himself, or assist oth ers, in speculations? If these surplus funds had been used in reducing the national in debtedness, instead of, as they were, to in crease the financial difficulties, the premium on gold might have been steadily reduced, the prices of all the necessaries of life grad ually lowered, business generally stimulated and the general welfare of all and particularly of the laboring classes greatly enhanced, lint considerations of this kind seem to have no weight with Mr. McCulloch and instead of consulting the interests of the Country, in &1] his efforts he seems to aim at producing financial embarrassment, the prostration of business and the oppression of the people. When will we be delivered .om his reckless and blundering manage ment of the national Treasury? A pakdos in the case of General Long street, has been granted upon the written ap plication of numerous prominent individuals, including General Grant, prominent officers of the army, and several Senators. THE late Copperhead County Convention selected our friend, George MardorfT, County Treasurer, for Chairman of thoir county Committee. They must have had the public funds in view when they made this selection. The tax payers will bear this in mind. Cam paigns cannot be conducted without funds. lfoa the first time in the history of our nation, there was published yesterday an official report of the proceedings of the President's Cabinet iu council. It is morti fying to add that this unusual proceeding, like almost everything else that emanates from Andrew Johnson, was a weak and hu miliation attempt to divide with other shoulders the burden of tho unpalatable and unpatriotic Stansbcry opinion. The Presi dent felt that, for this blow at the country, he must make some defence before the peo ple, and, accordingly, we have this pitiful dragging out of a pliant Cabinet to strength en the position of the consciously guilty Executive. The people regard the whole shameful spectacle with contempt. All the Cabinets that Mr. Johnson could have; all the votes of all the Wells aud llandalls that could be created, would give no weight to this opinion or commend it to the counte nance or respect of the people. This Cabi net council, so ostentatiously exhibited, is but a weak device in the President to ward off public opprobrium and a tacit confession of error. — Philadelphia Press. TEXAS. —Already wc have echoes of the President's interference with reconstruction, in reports that judges in Texas have refused to receive the testimony of negroes, and de clare the law unconstitutional, and refuse to recognize any authority execpt that of the State of Texas. General Sheridan has re ported the condition of things in that State to General Granl, and has stated that he re gards it as necessary to remove Governor Throckmorton and other officials, hut Gen eral Grant replied that the President and Cabinet were discussing the question of his power to remove civil officers, and that he had better wait for their decision. The de cision has been rendered. According to the Attorney General, theC'abinetand the Presi dent, these judges who refuse to recognize any authority except that of the State of Texas cannot be removed by anybody. We shall see whether Congress will permit its legislation to be repealed in this fashion. — Hot. Tel. THERE is a deep significance in the fac l that in all the late revolutionary eruptions in England the surging masses chant the stri king battle-lyric of our army, "John Brown's Soul is Marching On." All the recent troubles and uprisings in the British empire no matter what their immediate cause, are at bottom a protest of the people against the class government which has so long de prived them of their natural and inalienable rights, and this spontaneous adoption of the hymn of our latest struggle for freedom is an unconscious and instinctive acknowledgment of our leadership in the cause of human 1 i ber ty.— l 'lt iladclphia Press. Gov. Brown of Georgia. We copy the following from the l'hil'a. Press, and submit it to our readers, and also recommend Gov. Brown's opinion to he Democratic press of Pennsylvania for publi cation as a suitable companion-piccc to the Ixingstrcet letters: "The position of Gov. Brown of Georgia is well known at the North, and his public utterances have been such as to commend him to the sympathy and support of all who have at heart the common good of the whole country and the commercial and social re habilitation of the South. On the question of convention or no convention—the living and immediate issue in Georgia—his whole energies have been directed to convince the people of bis State that a convention alone is the door through which they can re enter the Union, and to overcome !thc dangerous and insidious advice of the disunion or "dig nity' ' men, who counsel apathy and non action. As additional evidence of the national po sition of Governor Brown, wc adduce the following editorial article on Attorney Gen eral Stanbcry's calamitous opinion from the Atlanta Daily New Era of the 21st inst., his acknowledged newspaper organ —a lead er so forcible, emphatic, and to the point that we give it entire. "Nothing could have been moie ill-timed, or more fatal to the best interests of the South than this lengthy and elaborate opinion. It may afford amusement to antereconstruct Zionists, but it is death to the South, who, it must be emphatically understood, did not de sire. and are. lu no means responsible for it. Its result trill be to convene Congress in July, when the enemies of reconstruction will seek to have more rigorous legislation towards tin South adopted. It is to be hoped the Presi dent will have the discretion to let the district commanders tdone in the discharge of their duties, as under their judicial guidance re construction is progressing rapidly and satis fictorily.'' Wc trust the above expression of intelli gent Southern opinion will be read by every man in this State. Flouted and repudiated as false and mischievous by all clas-es South, is it not effrontery of the worst kind in the treacherous Democracy to ask the suffrages of the people of our Commonwealth?" How it Works. An important case under the military re construction bill has just been made up in Galveston Texas, and forwarded to the President for his decision. It is a test case, and on its decision will depend enough of votes to determine any election held in the State. It will also decide whether the late opinion of the Attorney General is law or has any more force than that of any other lawyer—whether, for instance, his view is of more consequence and weight than those of Mr. Stanton or Mr. Stevens. The facts of this care stated are substan tially as follows: The rules and regulations for the guidance of persons desiring to reg ister arc very nearly the same as those pro nounced by General Sheridan in Louisiana. An application refuse* to answer the pre tcrihea questions , but demands registration, stating that he is ready to take the oath, and if it is afterward proven that he has sworn falsely, he is amenable to trial for periury. This claim is directly in accordance with the dictum of Mr. Stanbcry. Under Sheri dan's order it was of course peremptorily re fused, and an appeal now has been taken to the President. We arc glad that an issue has been made so promptly, and that it comes up in such a way as to be generally intelligible. This in dependent Texan, who claims the great privilege of swearing falsely, and waiting for a tedious judicial investigation before any man can even question him, understands the opinion of the Attorney General thor oughly. If Mr. Stanbury is right., so is the Texan. Every man is his own register. That is the nlain English of all the Attorney General's crowded columns of cumbersome circumlocution. If the Attorney General's construction of the law is correct, then tjie entire design and intent of the reconstruction act is defeated. The whole labor of Congress is frustrated. AVc must begin anew, ana the rehabilitation of the South is put off once more. The practical working of this opinion re veals itself and needs no commentary or ex planation from us Every rebel in Texas will vote and take his chance for an indict ment for falso swearing before grand juries of which every member will have committ ed the same offence, and in u Slate where in no instance sjnee tho war has a rebel been punished for criminal offence by a jury of his peers. This is the Johnson-Stanbory plan for securing the South to the Democratic party —a plan which opens the polls to all uncon scientious men, but closes them against all who may have been disaffected but still re gard their oath. Every rebel registers him self. Every man tcifl get his vote in; no matter what may come afterwards, the vote is gained.— Philadelphia l*ress. TIIADDEUB STEVENS. An Interview of ft Southern Editor. —lie explains liimscK on Confiscation [grun th VuioH Syrinyt (Mite.) /lilt?*.] I visited Lancaster, and in the forenoon of Friday, tho 23d inst., obtained an aud ience. Mr. Stevens was iu his fine lit.-rary quite feeble physically, but intellectually more vigorous, prompt, and lucid than is usual in men seventy-four years old. He is tall, and has the bones of a large man, hut is now very thin in flesh. The face and beard are both good—the eyes uncertain; the mouth, with its thin, closed lips, ami tho strong jaw, tells tike secret of the bitterness and love of despotic power and revenge that fills his heart and keeps the man alive. Upon first entering the room, bv a door which gave me a lull view of the man, there was something so like a smile on his face, that I thought his heart and his speeches, his conscience and his words, were not in harmony. This soon flitted, and from that time to the close of the interview, the whole countenance —from the grand arched fore head to the hard chin—was the very ideal of cold, pitiiess intellect. I told him who I was, the views I entertained, and requested that he would say nothing to me which ho desired kept, secret. As he had been talking a great deal and was quite exhausted, I was forced to question rapidly and conhne my self to leading topics. The most of the con versation was heard by a gentleman win* called with mc, and who can voncli f>r in correctness, which is almost vernal I told him f had conic to hear from him. whom I regarded as the great head and ma>- tcr of tho party, just what his party deman ded and where their demands would stop; upon what terms and at what probable time his party would recognize the Southern States as equal members of the Government and to ask his interpretation of the present measures of reconstruction. Then, prefacing the question with the remark that it was an indelicate one to put to a gentleman, I asked. "Do you pursue your harsh policy as a party measure for the purpose of intimida tion'.''" ile answeicd at once, "I do nothing merely for party purposes. I regard my pro[>osed action as equitable and resting upon principles of law."' "But, Mr. Stevens, by what provision of the Constitution arc you warranted in per verting a war made to resolve a doubtful question, and the right itself to make which was doubtful, into an excuse for going be yond its purposes, in treating the defeated so harshly as you propose?" "The Constitution docs not enter into the question—has nothing to do with it at all. You made an issue of war. The North whether wisely or unwisely it is no 11*0 now to inquire—accepted the issue and conquer ed you. By a thousand acts which some of my party seem now to forget, the Govern ment recognized you as a belligerent nation, and your defeat left you no right- under the Constitution, nor any claim to he treated by its provisions. While you were bclliei r ents J regarded you also as great criminal-, who had forfeited all lights of persons as well as of property. I propose to deal with you entirely by the laws of war, and though not earing to have those laws executed to the full extent ofhanging the poor devils. I regard it as a matter of the simplest equity to punish you by fines at least sufficient to indemnify loyal men for the damage sustain ed at your hands." "Will you persist in your confiscation measures. Mr. Steven.-? Will you be satisfied with no less?" "No, sir. Anything les- would be unjust to those wronged by your crime." "Will you Is; able to bring your party to your support?" "I do not know. Wc had a hard work to secure the passage of the military bill, but I shall take care of myself' to devote all of my strength and ability to pushing on this measure of justice." "Well, Mr. Stevens, there are good men in the South, honest men. who took an oath of loyalty to the I'nited States Government in good faith, upon the assurance that they would be treated as citizens. The unsettled condition of politics bears hardley upon them. Lands are valueless, and industry is discoura ged. If you—and 1 say you, because you are your party—intend to perfect the pro posed confiscation, do it quickly. Do not torment the south by delay and deception. Bring Wilson hotnc, and don't let him tell any more lies to honest people. Let the is sue be distinct and well understood. Vou are consistent and have been frank at least?" Mr. Stevens now complained ufhein; overworked. I begged him to an-wer one or two wore questions. "Would you lie pleased to sec organized in Alabama a government similar to (hat of Tennessee under such men as Brownlow, a few of which 1 am sorry to say we have among us, Milt. Saffold for instance?" He replied hesitatingly. "It i> not a matter of men at all; it would depend upon circumstances and principles. We would inquire whether you had a State, and—" I here interrupted, feeling that he was dodging, and asked the following question. "Suppose, sir. Alabama should organize a government enfranchising the negro, pro viding for his education arid giving ample guarantees for his protection before the courts and in society, and under thatgovern mens should send good men. who could take the 'test oath,' to Comgress, would you admit her to representation?" Without a moment,s pause, he answered with strong emphasis, "No, sir," and thus closed the interview. REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS IN OHIO.— The Chicago Tribune has a despatch from Mans field, Ohio, which says that advices fror- all the backbone counties of the State, com prising Columbiana, Stark, Wayne, Ash land, llichlaud, Knox, Crawford, Wyandot, Allen, Van Wert, and other counties, repre sent the greatest satisfaction on (lie part of Union men at the action of the State Con vention on the 10th inst. No ticket could have been presented so acceptable in every essential to the party. Hayes and Galloway will tarry the State like a whirlwind. The Platform is all that could be desired, bold and manly in its tone, fully recognizing and accepting the great issue of the day. Tim Union men proudly step upon it and go in to the contest, determined to win another victory for eoual rights on its broad base. The manhood suffrage plank causes as much enthusiasm in the ranks as did an order to advance in our army in the field. It is an order demanded by the people, and duly authorized by their officers and agents in convention assembled, for the groat Union army to take up an advanced position, where they can fight the enemy in closer quarters.

HENRY WILSON, Chief Military < ominittee, United States Senate: MY DSARSIR; It ia probable, in view of existing circumstances, that Congress will convene in July,' It is proper, therefore, I should inform you that the appropriation of It's si.ooo to execute the Reconstruction act* is altogether inadequate. lam inform ed that my estimates for April and May are less than those of other District Command ers. Indeed, the whole sum was more than absorbed by the estimates for May. For the Carolines at least ssoo,(hk) will be required. I have applied to the Navy and Treasury Departments for facilities, which, in view of tne small appropriation, I pre sumed would be granted, but nty requests have not been favorably I un derstand that the Secretary of the Navy as signed as his reason that no aid must be expected from that Department in the exe cution of the Reconstruction acts of Con gress The Secretary of the Treasury ex pressed his desire to do all ho eould, but did not feel at liberty to make any disburse ments for objects not precisely within the jurisdiction of his Department. It is usual, I believe, when the appropriation for an ob ject authorized by Congress is insufficient to make the necessary expenditures and trust to a "deficiency bill," but in the execution of those acts this course will be impractica ble. inasmuch as the principal disburse ments are for the services of persons who depend upon their pay for their support. I have the honor to suggest for your consid eration, and of your colleagues as well, that the interest of the public service require without delay a further appropriation to execute the acts of Congress for the gov ernment of the Rebel States.

My resson> for closing registration in this city were because I had given the city two and a hall months, and there were no more to registc r. 1 hove given the State two and a half month* and registration will be ex hausted by that time. I did not feel war ranted in keeping up (wards of registration at large expense to - lit new issues coming in at the eleventh hour. The registration will lie completed in Louisiana at the time -iM-cified. unless I atn required to curry out the law under Mr. Stanbcry's interpreta tion. which practically in registration is opening a broad macadamized road for per jury and fraud to travel on. Ido not see why my registration should be dependent on tiuie when other district commanders get through. I have given more time for the registration of Ijouisiana than they pro posc to givo in their commands, for f com menced six weeks before they did. i regret that 1 should have to differ with the Presi dent, but it must be recollected thai I have lieen ordered to execute a law to which the President has been in bitter antagonism. If after this report the time be extended, please notify, and it will be done. I would do it at once, hut the President's telegram was conditional, and there is sufficient time left to issue the necessary orders. T. 11. SHERIDAN. Major-Gcnernl U. S. A.

The (r> rmtxntaKH Telegraph is a neutral journal which never meddles with partisan politics and seldom has anything to say con cerning politicians. Hence, when it docs refer to a public man. we have a riirht to value its candor highly. The following is its estimate of Gov. Geary, elicited by the late vi-it of the Governor to Philadelphia: Gov. Geary spent, last week in Philadel phia visiting the public institutions, includ ing son e of our schools, also the navy-yard, where he was received with a salute, League Island, Ac. He was everywhere welcom ed wit h the greatest cordiality, and on sever al occasions he made short addresses. The Governor, apart from his distinguished military record, is extremely popular among the people. His high integrity and earnest desire to promote the best interests of the community, free from selfish purposes, have taken hold of his fcllow-citizcns and sunk deep in their hearts; hence the heartiness of the demonstrations of honor and esteem which meet him on every side whenever he appears in public. ILELPAOUM BELIEF OF TIIK ESQUIMAUX. —The distinguished northern voyager, Dr. Ifayc. in a tccent lecture, gave a brief de scription of the F-i|uimatix, their habits, •node i I living, religion, kc. They believe in a liilll rc state, .- good and bat! spirit, a heaven and hell. The abode of happiness they eonoider a green island, where no ice is and there is plenty to cat and nothing to do. Tin- place of piini-hnicnt is about the reverse. • The evil spirit is said to be the good -pint's, wife? She lives under the water and has power to call down the seals ajtd walrusses when she is angry; so the Esquitnax try to propitiate her by throwing salt meat into the water, thinking if she is well fed she will be good-natured.

Sickles' Letter, —July Session of Cangreu. WASUINUTON, Juno 24.—The Surratt trial is progressing slowly. The defence are evidently nonplussed at the oourse of the prosecution, and do not seem to appreciate the importance of the testimony now being taken. The defence, it is understood, expect to prove that Surratt was at Khnira, N. Y., on the 14th of April, and that he left there on the 15th, but the mute witness, the handkerchief found at Burlington, Vt, on the evening of the Hth of April, dispels this theory, inasmuch as it was impossible for him, if at Klmira to have reached Burling ton on the 17th of April, so that he must have arrived there from some place other than Klmira. The defence however, will contend that the handkerchief was not dropped by Surratt at all, but by a detec tive who went to Canada in pursuit of him. This effort will also be destroyed for the simple reason that it can be shown that the aforesaid detective did not reach Burlington before the 30th of April. General Grant returned to the Army Headquarters to day, and found awaiting him a letter from General Sickles, asking to be relieved of his command. It is gener ally agreed that the request will not be com plied with. The following is the letter of General Sickles in which he asks to be relieved: CHARLESTON, June 19. To the Adjutant General of the Army, Washington: I have the honor to request that I may be relieved from the command in this military district. I respectfully de mand a Court of Inquiry upon my official actions, that 1 may vindicate myself from the accusations of the Attorney General, published, it is presumed, with the approv al of the President. Congress having de clared these so called State Government il legal. the declaration of the Attorney Gen eral that military authority has not super ceded them, prevents the execution of the reconstruction act; disarms me of the means to protect the life, property or rights of citizens, and menaces all with rain. D. R SICKLES. Maj. Gen. Commanding Letters received here from quite a num ber of Senators, and members generally cx presa desire for a brief session of Congress. Ten days, it is believed, will be sufficient to pass the supplemental Reconstruction bill. If this_ he adhered to, the House Commit tees will not he appointed. Three Senators, who are members of the Senate Finance Committee, are away, which it is thought wiil act against any attempt to legislate on finances. FROM MEXICO. Capture of Santa Anna.— He is Reported to be Sentenced to Death. NEW YORK, June 20. —Byway of Ha vanuu we have another strange story about Santa Anna, to the effect that he landed at Vera Cruz on the 4th inst., but was imme diately compelled to re-embark The steam er Virginia, on which he had taken passage, then left for the port ot Sisal, but on arriv ing there was surrounded and attacked by Liberal gunboats. General Santa Anna was forcibly removed from the ship by the Lib erals, and taken on shore. He was there subjected to a summary trial before a court martial, and was sentenced to be hanged on the Bth inst. LATER. NEW YORK, June 23.—The capture of Santa Anna at Sissal is confirmed. The cause was reported to be a proclamation he sent on shore to create a pronunciamento in in his favor. Ycra Cruz advices of June 13 have been received. The city had not surren deree and General Taboada has avowed his firm resolve to resist to the last. There is great scarcity of provisions there, and the ('otuuion Council had ordered the return to Havana of one hundred cases of jerked beef, which was pronounced unpalatable. CABLE NEWS.

It will be remembered that last summer there were, in different parts of the country, on some days, extraor dinary lists of deaths from sun stroke, and ntany were the suggestions put forth in the newspapers for avoiding its fatality. It would be well for those who are compelled to be much in the sun, to adopt some such simple expedient as a wet handkerchief in the hat, or a shade of some sort. Those who are compelled to work out of doors might, in many cases, by a little exercise of ingenuity, erect some shading that would keep the fiery rays out of their brain*. DURING a recent wedding in a church in a villnge near Troy, N.

The clergyman decided that she had no right to look so far ahead, and went on with the performance, UKNEHAL. NEttR ITBIM*- CovruiCTiox baa been *upendcd in Po land.

THK wheat harvest has commenced in the vicinity of Richmond, Va., and promises a large yield. Thkrk is one undertaker for every ten doc tors in Chicago. Necessarily the undertaker must grow rich. Thk New York Constitutional Convention has got fairly to work. Among other radical measures proposed is that of rendering educa tion compulsory. Thk cable of 1805, severed by an iceberg some weeks ago, has been recovered, spliced, and communication through it to Europe re stored. A carkkui, calculator finds that on an aver age one person in every hundred and fifty is blind of one eye. The defect is more com mon in low than in high latitudes.

LLOYD GARRISON is being made feel tbe depth of admiration and esteem in which he is held by lovers of liberty in England, lie has bepn tendered a public breakfast in London, at which Hon.

Fully five thousand persons, wearing the green, followed the corpse to its last resting place. REGISTRATION is progressing quietly and systematically throughout the South. So far as the returns have come in they indicate that the colored people show a greater anxiety to enroll themselves under the Hag of tbe Union than the whites. LENIENCY seems to be the order of the day in Europe. On the same day we hear that the Emperor Alexander has suspended all further confiscation in Poland, and that the Emperor of Austria has granted a general amnesty to all political offenders, including even Kossuth. THE city government efficers of Baltimore are out on a tour of inspection, visiting tbe principal New England cities, and taking notes on Yankee institutions and systems of mnnicipal government. The Kansas papers express much ala.m for the crops in that section, as the army grasshopper is steadily gaining slrength. At Leavenworth a day ot fasting and prayer will be held to beseech from the Almighty an early deliverance from the plague. A CONTEMPORARY, commenting on (he double treachery of the Mexican General Lopez, refers to the fact, so honorable to American character, that during our long and doubtful civil war, there was not a single in stance on either side of the deliberate betray al of the cause which the combatants and severally espoused. Thf. New York World takes no stock i the belief that the cholera will appear in that city in an epidemic form. It says New York was never so hei ltliy as at the present time, and that people who keep clean, eat moder ately, and pay their debts, need be in no fear of cholera. THE Boston Post facetiously remarks: "Thad, Stevens is whetting his teeth to de vour Attorney General Stanberry, having fail ed to masticate President Johnson with im peachment sauce." In the milk of human kindness that berry might prove palatable to lovers of small truit. THE new Dominion of Canada wants a de sign for a flag. A large number of our Irish fellow citizens suggest a field of green with a golden harp in the centre as the most appj o priate banner for that country. They have the will to force such a flag on our neighbors, but lack the way to do it. THE cession of the Russian possessions to the United States, is to be done up in colors by Denize, the artist. The Sewards, Senator Sumner, Minister Bodisils, and others, are to be grouped in the picture illustrating the im portant purchase. The subject is cold and can hardly be warmed into animation by the artist. DOWN in Richmond they have a new idea in photography, which is to take the head of a lady in the inidst of the petals of any kind of a flower —a rose, tulip or lily. The profile appears almost smothered in a beautiful and highly-colored flower, with a long stem attach ed, and it looks as natural as if it had grown there. LATE advices are more favorable to the cause of the heroic Cretan insurrectionists. Suffering repeated defeat, with great loss, the Turks, exasperated into demons, with fire de stroyed villages left unprotected and indis criminately massacred defenseless people. By this atrocity the savage Turks have invited intervention from Christian Powers. SENATOR HENDERSON, ot Missouri, has beeu on an excursion to the plains out west, and taken especial care to investigate the Indian outrages. He says that the troubles have not been half so serious as reported, and attri butes the difficulties to the dealings of un principled tr.'-dors. Mr. Henderson is Chair man of the Senate Committee on Indian Af fairs, and his statement will have some weight in putting poor "Lo" right on the record. A NORTH CAROLINA journal makes the startling disclosure that Freedinen have been induced to enter aboard ships ostensibly as emigrants to Liberia, to be taken and sold into bondage in Cuba. We do not credit the statement, although the recent announcement that the slave trade had been reported in Cuba and that several cargoes of negroes had been landed on its shores, seems in a measure to confirm the truth of the report. SECRETARY STANTON has taken ground against the recent opinion of the Attorney General. He differs with him jn nearly every essential point as to who are entitled to reg istration This stand on the part of Mr. Stan ton will not prove surprising to the country. It will in a great measure make up for the silence he has maintained on other important political subjects, and tend greatly to satisfy the people that his tenacity in holding place in the Cabinet proceeded from no retrogres sion from the cardinal principles of his parly. THE great match for one thousand dollars, between Dexter in harness, and Ethan Allen, with running mate, came off on the Fashion Course in New York on last Friday.
