This would make certain the election of T. L. Hendricks to the United States Senate, a position which he so recently dignified and adorned. Morton, one tf the present Senators from that State, was lately appointed Minister to England. He accented the office. If be resigns, then his place in the Senate will be filled by the election of Hendricks. Decidedly Cool for TToodruC. Tbe "Old Captain" complains of the manner in which the Chairman of the Democratic County Committee conducted the campaign. We presume Mr. John-, ston did not consult H. D. Woodruff, nor any other opponent of the Democrat ic ticket, as to the beet manner of achiev ing the glorious Democratic triumph which has been won. Mr. Johnston can nav Woodruff ?5 for everv Democrat north of the jurisdiction of the District Court that voted for Morrell, if Wood ruff will pay him as many cents for every Democratic vote given for Morrell within said district and make a small fortune by the operation. Hut Democrats from Ebensburg, he snys, circulated "the regular Democratic ticket, headed by Daniel J. Morrell for Congress." If so, it is exceedingly fortu nate that no Democrats in Northern Cam bria voted any such ticket. But some Republicans did vote for J). J. Morrell and the whole Democratic county ticket! And we are glad of it. Tha "Democrat convinced Republicans that Woodruff was . . T . .1 T- J i a belter ucmoerai man xiose, aim oi course they would vote for bim. But no meetings were called for tbe benefit of Mr. Spcer. Woodruff well knows that all tbe meetings were regular Democratic meetings, and that at every meeting tbe Democratic candidate fur t Congress was advocated by each and all the speakers. Every meeting that would have been attended by Mr. Speer would have been an additional pretext for voting n gainst him, as some speaker at every meeting discussed tbe removal farce, it being n necessary ingredient in tho cam paign. Thus the conduct of Woodruff and his confreres baniabed Mr Speer from the county,, and the people were denied tbe pleasure of listening to the thrilling eloquence with which his speeches are al ways replete. But the "enemies of removal have slaughtered Mr. Speer in this county," quoth the truthful Woodruff. Yes, by giving him 1250 majority 1 If that is Twenty tears Asleep. One of the most gratifying results of the late election is the defeat, by a ma jority of 13, of that unparalleled dema Cogue, John Cessna, in tbe Bedford Congressional district, by B. F. Meyers. John Cessna, as a member of the Com mittee on Elections, was responsible, more than any other man, for refusing his seat to Henry D. Foster. The people treasured up the outrage, and now Cessna has been repudiated in a district which contained not lees than 700 wgro votes, while Gen. Foster has been elected by a maturity of over 700. Thus it : that 4 time makes all things even. When Francis Cramer, at the instiga tion of th leaders of the Removal faction, was seduced to become an independent candidate for Sheriff Against Capt. Bon acker, ho simply made himself a very di minutive tail to tbe Congressional kite $( Daniel J. Morrell, as well as to the As scmbly lullocn of Henry D. Woodruff. This was all perfectly well understood by the men who made Cramer their wilN ing but unsuspecting dupe, and through tho duplicity and treachery of the remov al leaders, Francis has gone tp considera bly higher than either the lite or the balloon. Wfl trust that he fully appreci ates Woodruff s hypocritical and insincere professions of friendship, and that in the future he will bo a better and a wiser Democrat. An Unmanly Act. In the six wards of Johnstown W. II Hose, the Democratic and anti removal candidate for Assembly, received 131 votes.' The leaders of tbe Removal fac tion have Been proper to regard this result as an outrage, neither to be forgotten nor rorpiven, and at an indignation meetir held in that place cn last Wednesday evening, which was addressed by several of tbe men who inaugurated the Rpmoval farce, these 1S1 voters, who exercised their admitted rights under the lairs of the State, were denounced in the most violent, abusive and insulting language. This is a high-handed and rfi?graceful proceeding, ar.d will most certainly recoil with tremendous effect upon the beads of thoss who were engaged in it. Young chickens are Jure to corse home to roost. If the time shall ever coma when respect sbfcs citizens cad be publicly denounced aid held op t eecrn, hatred and con tempt, for the manner in which they may see prop? to exercise the dearest rights of freemen, then is republican government a miserable failure and a solemn force. A well might Democrats in tbe bor ough of Johnstown be publicly maligned for TCtirg for Daniel J. Moire!!, cr Republican in Ebrnsburg for voting for K. Milton Speer. The principle precisely tbe sam?.

Morrell 1 A Rlcli Dispatch. Special Dispatch to tbe Commercial. Johsbto'W), Fa., October 14. Frfiuda have been discovered in Blair and Uuatirgdon counties, which will much nullify Speer's reported majority of nine votes in this district. Mr. Morrell, who is now abwerjt from home, will te obliged to make a contest by the people who revolutionized this strongly Demo cratic couDty to give him a majority. C. E. The foregoing dispatch to tho Pittsburg Commercial, it is safe to say, was written by Cyrus Elder of Johnstown. He be lieves, no doubt, that a Democratic can didate for Congress has no rights which the Radical party is bound to respect. If frauds were perpetrated ' in Blair and Huntingdon counties it is a most singu lar circumstance that the Altoona lladical and the Ilollidajsburg Jiegittcr, as well as the Republican paperB in Huntingdon, are ignorant of the fact, and that it was reserved for Cyrus Elder, of JohnstowD, in the olenitude of his wisdom, to make the' discovery. Those papers charge treachery on the part of their political friends, and acknowledge Mr. MorreH's defeat, but do not impute any fraud to the electors who voted for R. Milton Speer. This paper never attacked the charac ter of Daniel J. Morrell as a citizen and a gentleman. It would have been useless to have done so. Now that the contest is over, Mr. Morrell should bow to tbe will of the peeple, legally expressed, and attribute his defeat, for whatever reasons, to the defection of his own . political friends in the two Radical counties in the district Blair and Huntingdon. This is the only fair and legitimate explanation of hiv disastrous defeat. Of course Mr. Elder feels especially chagrined over the resnlt in Huntingdon. It seems that the political fortunes of Mr. Morrell in that strong Republican county were partially confided to the keeping and well-known influence of Gyros Elder. He visited the county and addressed several Republican meetings, and boasted afterwards of the wonderful effects which would result from bis well directed efforts. He was not wrong in Lis estimate of his own political strength, although it unexpectedly, but naturally, icsulted quite differently from what be intended. All bis eloquence, to say nothing of bis poetry, was "wasted on the desert air," and behold tbe ruac niSeent result which he helped to achieve a majority on Huntingdon county for R Milton Speer of 586. Sic transit gloria Elder. The Italian journals publish tbe follow ing letter addressed by King Victor Eman uel to the Pope : Holy Father : With the affection of a son, with the faith of a Catholic, with the loyalty of a king, with -the sentiment of an Italian, I address myself again, as 1 have doDe for merly, to the heart of your Holiness. A Btorrn full of perils threatens Enrope. Favored by the war which is desolating the centre of tbe continent, the party of the cos mopolitan revolution increases m courage and audacity, and is preparing to strike, especially iu Italy and the provinces govern ed by your Holiness, the Inst blows at mon archy ai:d papacy. I know, Holy Father, that tbe greatness of your eouI would not fall below the gravity of events; but for me a Catholic King and an Italian Kinp, and as such guardian and surety by the dispensation of Divine Provi dence and by the will of the nation of tbe destinies of all Italians, I feel tho duty of taking, in face of Europe and of the Catholic world, the responsibility of maintaining or der in the Peninsula and the security of the Holy See. Now, Holy Father, the state of feeling of the population governed by your Holiness, and the presence among them of foreign troops coming from different places with dif ferent intentions, are a source of agitation and perils to all. Chance or the efiervest-nce of passions may lead to violence and to an effusion of bliod, which it is my duty and yours. Holy Father, to avoid and prevent. I see the inevitable necessity, for the secu rity of Italy and the Holy Sre. that my troops already guarding the frontiers should advance and occupy the positions which are iudisjensible to the security of your Holi ness and to the maintenance of order. Your Holiness will uot see a hostile act in this measure of precaution." My govern ment and my forces will restrict themselves absolutely to au action conservative and pro tective of the rights, easily reconcilable, of the Roman population with the Inviolability of the Sovengn Pontiff, and of his spiritual authority, and with the independence of the noly See. If your Holiness, as I do not doubt, and as your sacred character and the goodness of ycur soul give me the right to lii't.e is inspir ed with a wish equal to mine of avoiding all cotfiict and escaping tbe danger of violence, you will be able to take, with the Count Totza di San llartino, who will present you this letter, and who is furtished with the necessary instructions .by my government, those measures which shall best conduct to the desired end. Let your Holiness permit me to hope that the present moment, as solemn for Italy as for the Church and for the Papacy, will give occasion to tbe exercise of that spirit of good will which has never been extinguished iu your heart toward this land, which is also your own country, and cf those senti ments of conciliation which I have always studied with an indefatigable perseve rance to develop into acts, in order tbat while satisfying the national aspirations, the chief of Catholicity surrounded by the devo tion cf the Italian poj.u!ationsytni;ht preserve on the bai;kg of the Tiber a glorious seat in dependent f all human sovereignty. lour Uoiiuess, in delivering Rome from the foreign troops, in freeing it from the con tinued peril of being the battle-field of ub versive parties, will have accomplished a marvelous work, given peace to tlm Church, and shown to Europe, appalled by the hor rors of war, hefw great battles cn be won and immortal victories achieved by an act of justice and a single word of affection. 1 beg of your Holiness to bestow upon me your apostolic benediction and.

Fnrther PurlUnlarj at ttoe Case f usan Godacjr Tfce St. L,tr Dottiri Continue their I-vetlge.tli. From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. 12.J The committee of doctors appointed by the Medical society to examine into the case of Susan D. Godsey, of Tennessee, have not vet concluded their investigations, bnt will present a written report to tbe society at its next meeting, which will doubtless be a model of lucid Saxon. Pending tbe ultima tum ef the doctors, which there is really some public curiosity to hear, the phenome na connected with this most curious case must, we presume, remain unexplained. To an unscientific mind it would appear to bo one of catalepsy with regular recurring spasms, but there are sotne features io the case not usual in the disease mentioned. In addition to what has before been published, the following may be of some interest- The girl, it is stated, has been in substantially the same condition as at present for 21 years, but it is necessary to visit her room and watch her attentively for some time, in order to fully comprehend the extraordinary pra cesMon of her symptoms. Let us, for in stance, visit her in the morning, or rather just before dawn. We enter the room and se on the bed tbe form of the wonderful sleeper. The face is a little sallow in hue hut not at all emaciated, and is pleasing in its expression : rather broad 'with an val brow of an expanse indicating intellect above the ordinary. She is perfectly quiet, and as we approach the bed no more movement is apparent than if a corpfe lay before us, ex cept that there is a slight tremor where her hands are lyiDg, which consUttly shake in nervous agitation. The mouth is closed and the respiration through the nostrils is so faint ami low as to be almost imperceptible. This death-like calm is only broken by the spasms mentioned in our previous notice of the case, which occir at intervals generally ol six end seven minutes. As the time ar rivals when the sun rises above the hoiizon the phenomena change. The ppasms, or violent lateral motion of the head, brccme more frequent, aiid finalij-, strange to say, at the exact momeot of the dawn she begins to awake. Respiration becomes audible and very quick ; this lasts nearly a m:nute ; she then swallows once-or twice and becomes unconscious. When awake there is nothing outre in her manners cr appearaDce. She is extremely weak and complains constantly of pain in the bead, bbe is supported oy pil lows, eats and drinks slowly, exhibiting a strong partiality for water, and talks in a low, soft tone. She remains awake gener ally eight or nine miuutes. and then falls back into the camatose condition, in which the only evidences-of life are the recurring spasms and the stertous breaths which occur just after the agitation of the head, and in the numerical order given before. Alter be coming conscious in the morning, she awakes ouce every hour until about noon, and not again until 1 S, and then not agxin until sunset, according to true time. At 0 o'clock at night she awakes again, and between 9 and 10 she is teized with more violent spasms which last nearly an hour, and then sleeps again from 12 to 3, when she awakes, and then does not awake again until dawn, this order is never varied, nor do any of her tyroptoms change, but from year to year re repeated daily with the regularity of clock work. Her general health is gxd. und her limbs, while very weak, are yet not emacia ted. Her hand3 are very small aud delicate ly formed, and the right one is principally afflicted by the nervous tremor before men tioned, and almost useless. There were several gentlemen in the room last evening wheu she awoke, and the scene was one of curious interest. Her sister and i A man named Hail Storms, is the Dem ocratic candiikte for sheriff of White county, Illinois. He will cirry all before him. Lettkr from Popk Pics. The follow ing was sent by the Pope to Gen. Kanzler on the evening before the Italian troops entered tbe city of Home ; General :.Now that a grand sacrifice, as well as the most enormous injustice is about to bo consummated now that the troops of a Catholic King, without even the semblance of a motive, are beseiging the capital of the Catholic world, I feel the immediate neces sity of thanking you, general, and all our troops for the generous conduct which you have shown hitherto, for the affection of which you have given proof to the Holy See, and for your readiuess to devote youreelf solely to the defense of this metropolis. Let these lines remain as a solemn document to certify the dicipline, loyalty, and valor of the troops which have been in the service of the Holy Bee. As for the duration of the defense, it is my duty to direct that it shall consist solely of a protest setting forth the violence used, and of nothing further; tbat is to say, that as soon 23 the breach shall be opened negotiations shall be entered into for the surrender of the town. At a moment when the whole of Europe deplores the very victims of war between two powerful na tions, it should never be said that the Vicar of Jesus Christ, although unjustly assailed, had ever consented to a great effusion of blood. Our cause is that of Gi-d, and in Him we place our whole confidence. I bless you from my heart you. General, and all our troops. From the Vatican, September 19. 1870. Pio IX, Pope. Sheldon & Co. have opened a mine of in terest in their Magazine. ''The Galaxy:1, by drawing to it the communications of promi nent public men, upon questions of general interest. The last number contains an arti cle from the pea of Gideon Welles ex-Scre-tary of the Navy. It makes some extraor dinary revelations. The history of the abortive attempt to provision Fort Sumpter at the beginning of the Lincoln admitiinfra tion, is related. The failure of it is distinct lv rharued unon Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State ! The maLoenvcrs and motives which Mr. Welles ascribes to him can hardly be presented, without producing the whole ar ticle, for which we hve not space at present. As a picture of the vacillatiou ahd bad faith of the Lincoln administration, when it began its career, this is one of the most extraordi nary disclosures ever made to the public. According to Mr. Weiles. Mr. Seward had agreed to surrender rort tumprer to tne Confederates. This has often been asserted before, and never explicitly denied, bnt now a new incident of the story is revealed. The opposition of Mr. Welles and Mr. Montgom ery Blair, to the surrender of Fort Sumpter, and their determination to reinforce it, prompted a surreptitious scheme to defeat their policy, in which the chief acfor was their colleague in the Cabinet, Mr. Seward. He completely hoodwinked Mr. Lincoln, ob taining his signature to a mass of papers, among which was one installing Captain Samnel Barron, iu an important bureau in the Navy Department. Mr. Welles says that Barron was a noted Secessionist, who, a few weeks later, j ined the Southern Con federacy. On receiving this strange and un usual order, dictating to him in a most tmportart detail of his own department, the Secretary of the Navy hurried, indignantly, to the President, and found the poor man a9 astounded as himself at the news he commu nicated. Mr. Lincoln declared that he hao never read the obnoxious order which had been put befoie bim for his signature, by Mr. Seward, with a masa of other papers. Among thera was another order as cxtraor dinarv. It was an order to Lieu enact D D. Porter ( now Admiral), to proceed instant ly to New York and carry off the steamer Powhattan from the expedition which Wellps had prepared to succor Fort Sumpter! How in spite of Mr. Lincoln's iustant revocation cf the order, it was carried out; how the at tempt to relieve Fort Sumpter was thus prostrated, and Mr. Seward's agreement with the confederates was substantially fulfilled, is set forth with minute particularity by Mr. Welles, who gives copies of all the '.fficial papers which seems fully to corroborate him. They a!s implicate Admiral Porter and General Montgomery Meigs in the transact tion. It will be for them to explain their part in it. It is possible that they beirg then both officers of humble rank, saw a chance of distinction and advancement in taking a confidential pait with the Secretary of State, in his mysterious and irregular movement, in which they may have only 8en an intention to reinforce Fort Pickens, without knowing that it necessarily involved the failure to succor Ftrt Sumpter. But the charges are so grave, so circumstantial, and come frrn a sourco so well informed upon the sulject.ihat we will n-t artKipate the explanation which tte fame of all con cerned will uige them to furnish with as little delay as possible. Certainly this num ber of The Galaxy furnishes a startling ar ticle. Fhila Age. political ami Hevri Item.

In reply to a question by a physiciau present, the said her hair pained htr badly on the right side and that her throat was sore. She exhibited no curiosity as to those present. She appeared extreme ly wearied, and after a few sups of e ffee and a mouthful or two of bread, she fell back on the pillow. Her head and shoulders again shook violently in spasms, and she became the same placid sleeper as before. Within the last few days she has been ex amined by various phycicians besides the members of the committee, but none of the doctors have come to any conclusion, except to confuss that the case was one of the most extraordinary character. The physician who visited her tried the test of pain with great severity. lie pushed a needle nearly its full length into her leg and also into her arm, and rather savagely poked his finger into her eyes, always a decidedly unpleasant op eration, to say the least of it. In neither instance did the sleeper manifest the smallest recognition of his action. Nor was there even a twitching of a nerve. The official statement of the Land De partment of the Union Pacific liailroad from July 28, 1869, to October 4, 1870, shows .that the Union Pacific liailroad wld 240,344 19-100 acres, for which they received 1.106,049 32, or an aver age of 4.60 per acre. The company cancelled 618,000 of their land grant bonds, received in payment for their lands. The trustees hold 400,000 in settlers' notes, seeured by mortgages on land sold, and 50,000 in cash, to be appropriated to further purchases of land grant bonds. The Union Pacific Railroad have 11,730, 000 acres of land remaining nnsold. President Gkant, saya tho N. Y. World, has removed Major Wm.

He cannot de capitate Senator Scburz, so he makes faces at and chops off the heads of all officials who imitate Senator Schura by having an opinion and expressing it. The reported death rf John Allen ia officially contradicted ; so the position of tbe wickedesb man in New York is not yet vacant- The Death cf Lee. Despatches from the South tell of profound sorrow for the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee. In the vari ous cities emblems of mourning arc displayed and flags balf-masted. Business is suspend ed and meetings are held in respect to the memory of the deceased. At Richmond, on Thursday. Gov. Walker tent a message to the Virginia Legislature, formally announ cing the death of Gen. Lee, paying a high tribute to his personal character, and sug gesting that the interment of his remains in the grounds owned by the State at Holly wood Cemetery be solicited. After the read ing of the message the Legislature unani mously passed a joint resolution, expressing their Borrow, and requesting that the body be interred at Hollywood. A joint commit tee was appointed to go to Islington to escort the remains to Richmond, should the request be granted. The Legislature then adjourned. The Georgia Legisla'nre also adjourned over to attend the 'funeral on Sat urday last, at noon. Should the request of tho authorities not be accee'ed to, the body will be plared in a vault beneath the College Chapel at Lexington. It appears that du- ling the earlier stages of General Lee's ill ness his mind occasionally wandered, revert ing to the army. lie at one time ordered his tent to he struck, and at another desired tbat "Hill should be sent for." A CiJAncTFBiSTic Iscipxkt. Among tho many striking incidents of the late flood in Virginia is one related by a Fluvanna coun ty. Virginia, correspondent of the Richmond Whig, which we have already published, of the attempt of the three heroic white citi zens of .Fluvanna to rescue a colored ferry. man and his wife at the ferry house at the juncture of the James and Rivanna rivers. In making the attempt the-e three brave men, by mame Davis, Fuqua and Agee, the latter a youth, lost their noble lives. The incident illustrates not only the self-sacrifi. cinj courage of a geoerous and brave people, but the traditional friendship cf Southern whites to tbe colored race. It is an indica tion of genuine Southern sentiment in that regard much more reliable than the inven tions of the manufacturers of Southern outra ges. Baltimore Sun. Tlie Dealli of General Loc. We last week briefly announced the death of Gen. Robert E. Loe, the eminent Ameri can soldier and upright Christian gentivmau, which occurred at Ltxiugton, a., on Wed nesday morning, Oct. lU'.li. Gen. Lee was Lorn in virgiuta in 1808, and was the son cf Gen. Heury Lee, of Revolutionary fame Light Horse Harry" of Wahiogtoo's staff. He graduated at West Point, second in his class, in 1829, and was commissioned in the highest grade cf the service, the Ty pographicai Engineers cf the United States Army. His first duty was that cf Astronomer in sealing the boundary lines of U:i;o and M;ch ignan in 1835 promoted to First Lieuieuant in 1836. and Captain ia 1833. He was Chief Engineer to Gen. Wool's army iu Mexico, and tor gallant conduct at Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Cherubusco, and Chipultepec, where ho was teverely wound ed, he gained promotions to the Brevets of Major, Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel. Iu 1852 he was appointed Military Super intendent cf West Point, and in 1855, relieved from duly and promoted to Lieu tenaut Gjlonel cf the Secoud Cavalry, lo March 1861. he was Colonel cf the First Cavalr3 and n April 25th cf that year, resigned and joined the Southern Confeder acy. Three days before this he was appoin ted Major General of the Confederate army, abd of all the forces in Virgiuia, and soon after General of that army. His firat battle after this was in the western part cf that State, where, on October 3, 1861, he was defeated by Gen. Reynolds (a native of Penn sylvania, who was subsequently killed at Gettysburg,) near Greeubnar. He was then transferred to the department of the South Atlantic coast. Alter General Johnston was wounded at Fair Oaks, General Lee commaude-i tha army for the defense of Richmond, and for the remainder of the campaign cf the Chick ahominy. In August, 1862, he attacked General Pope's army in Virginia, driving him back to Washington, and crossing tbe Potomac, near Leeabnrg. on September 6, occupied Frederick, in Maryland. Hi was defeated by General McCIeTlan in tbe battle of Antietam, and retired aain into Virginia, having gained bnt little by the advance, and lost nothing by his retreat.

His demise will be univer sally regrttted. A lady on a down train to Springfield, Mass., gave the occupants of the car a sur prise last week by presenting her blushing ycunj hTisbanJ with a son. A Perilous Ride and a Miraculous E.capb. The last car cf a freight train jumped off the rails at a point half way to Independence. One mau was on the roof, and tho car commenced such a frantic dance, jerking over rocks and ties, that he could not spring to the next, nor do anything bnt hold on for dear life. He shouted yelled ; but h needed a voice of steam to have been herd at the other end cf the long train. A quarter of a mile and the irons began to shiver and split and whirl and shoot along the track ; the man still knowing tbat a fearful moment roust come, and still holding himself on by the break wheel with all his might. And at last it came. The car bad thundered aloug for half a mile, when, the fastenings all brokeD, the car parted from the rolling gear, turned over and rolled down an embankment cf fifteen feet. The man was saved. At the moment the car bean to fall be sprang for the bank and reached it at thirty feet. -An East Tennessee woman stopped a railroad train by wavim? a fl, wanted to know of the enraged conductor if ttairey meivina 'Ihompson was aboard which tbe. same wae her sister. The prison- ers were set at liberty the same evening. On Monday morning last at 8 oV.ock a meUncholy shooting j!Trv occurred at Cumberland. M l. Mr. II Blactt shot and intantly killed W. W. M KVig, Jr , for the seduction of the former's sister. Three balls took effect, one passing through the heart. Judge Dean, ex-membrr of Congress from New York, died on Wednesday. II was an eminent lawyer, and formerly a Judge of the Supreme Gurt of thAt Ste. He was counsel for Mrs. Cunningham, tried several years ago for the murder cf Dr. Bur dell. The difference between a Radical ad ministration and a Democratic adminb-tra tion of the government, as shown by the statements, is that the latter tAsed tho peo ple about $2 25 per capita, and the former, during the last year, have taxed the people $10 30 per capita. Radical economy ia illustrate! as fol lows: "If you owe a debt of $500. collect taxes to the amouut of Jl.000, pay the debt with halt the money, and steal the remain der. That is the way Grant's amesistration reduces the public debt. It will answer until the people find cut how it is done. Oscar McLaughlin, a brakesm?n on the Pennsylvania railroad, was killed on Friday, about a mile west of Steamboat statiou, Lancaster county. Ild was uot missed until the train reached the station, wheu search was made, and he was found dead dii tile track, his head and one of hh limbs being crushed. There is an old negro in Mobile, 87 years of age. who is now living with his seventh wife, and is the father of 41 child ran, the youngest being five months old. He was born iu New London, Conn., was stolen and brought to that place when a child,. and has lived there seventy years. His name is Stephen Short. A very novel case of wife-selling occur red a short time since at PHinsville, Ohio. Two men, named Miller and Gregory, met in a saloon. One bad a silver watch, and the ether a handsome wife. Hitler cas longing eves npon the watch, and Gregory ditto on the wife. Thev agreed to exchange. and left the saloon shortly afterward, all three apparently well pleased with the bar gain. The fable of the living jaclcass sicking the dead lion is very forcibly illustrated by the order of Mr. B:'itwell to the collector at Savannah, in- regard to the custom house flag, which had been placed at half mAat for the deUh of Robert E. Lee. The dead lion, however, did uot complain, and the living jackass brayed triumphantly, just as hi fel lows of the Radical press will do in this in stance. The Archbishop of Quebec died on Sat urday Dight last of dropsy of the heart, aged seven'y-two years. He was the fifteenth Bishop and third Archbishop of Quebec. He was taken suddenly ill about two months ago. while on a pastoral visit. His body lay in state in the Archepiscopal Church, till Tuesday, when the interment lock place. The Canadian Bishops assisted at the funeral obsequies. The expense of Buchanan's whole ad, ministration, accepting Colfax's estimate were J250.000.000. which is only a little more than half of the actual expense of one year -of .Grant's administration. The ad ministration of Buchanan and Grant were both in times of peace. The conclusion is inevitable, then, tbat radicals require about twice as much money to run the government one year as tbe Democrats require to rnn it focr years. A terrible hurricane, attended with most disastrous results, swept oer the Is land of Cuba on last Fiiday. At Matanzas an extraordinary rise of ta rivers in the vi cinity resulted in an immense loss of life. Two thousand people are said to be drowned. At Cardenas, also, tbe effects of the storm were of a desolating character.
