Advertisera and others interested Rill bear in
mind that the regular circulation of the "STAR
AND etalam "is much larger than that of any
other paper published in the County. being read
avetly by not leas Huth 11,000 persons.
NEW TYPE.
We have the pleasure to-day of pre
senting the STAR & SENTINEL in a new
dress! The change has been effected un
der some serious disadvantages, and the
paper II not exactly what we desire.
Further' .inipiovements will be made, it
being our determination to.make the pa
per in every respect worthy of the gen
erous patronage it enjoys. The reader
will recognize new type throughout,
readiiig matter and advertisements. By
•
using small type with larger face for ad
vertisements, the latter will be more
readily read, without encroaching on the
reading matter. The type throughout
presents a clear, distinct face, and we
feel satisfied that the improvement will
be appreciated by all our subscribers.
It may be proper to say that our new
type is from the foundry of Messrs. Col.-
LL - vs & McLEasTER, of. Philadelphia,
whom we take pleasure in commending
to the confidence of our friends of the
Press, as an enterprising, courteous, gen
tlemanly firm, whose integrity in busi
ness dealing, promptness and accuracy
in filling orders, can be relied on. Du
ring our connection with the Press, we
have dealt with numerous type foun
drie, but none that has given such entire
satisfaction as that of Collins & Mc-
Leester..
WS - have also largely increased our as
sortment of Job type, and are prepaied
to execute all kiwis of Jobbing, Bills,
Posters, Cards,. Circulartl,
&e., in best of style, promptly, And at
reasonable rates.
These and other contemplated im
provements involve a heavy outlay of
money. We trust our friends will ac
cept it as an earnest of our purpose to
meet all reasonable demands upon us,
and will reciprocate by special efforts to
increase the circulation of the STAR &
SENTINEL. There are many Republi
cans who do not take a county paper,
and a little exertion onthe part of sub
scribers would largely increase our list
and do good to the cause,
We continue the proposition to allow
old subscribers a credit of 50 cents on
accouV, as a premium, for every new
subscriber sent in accompanied with one
year's subscription in advance, $2.
THE Conference Committees of the
Senate and, House have adjusted the dif
ferences' on the Bill to provide addition
al Currency, which will no doubt be
adopted, It provides foi an issue of
$45,000,000 of national bank notes to
banks, in additiOn to the $300,056,000
authorized by the currency act of 1864,
the amount of notes so provided to be
furnished to banking associations or
ganized or to be organized in tlks, States
AMA
apportionment, ps contemplated in the
apportionment act of 1865, A.g equal
amount of II per cent. Ceftipciates if to
be retired, so as not to increase the ag
gregate amount of circulation. The
bill also proposes to withdraw $25,000,-
000 from Banks in States having an ea
cuts of circulation, to be distributed in
)tie States and Territories having less
than proportion.
TEE Democratic party, through its
recognized leaders, stands before the
world confessedly in favor of fraudulent
elections and a shameless debauching of
the elective franchise. Every species of
legislation intended to preserve the puri
ty of the ballot-box and secure fair ex
pressiono pf the popular will, is met with
fierce opposition ; The Democratic Sen
ators occupied nearly 6e entire session
of Saturday in efforts to prevent the pas
',sage of a bill designed to prevent fraud
ulent naturalisation. The moment suf
ficiently efficient legislation is secured to
break up the ballot-stuffing and repeat
ing frauds which have of late years char
ao terigs thfialections in New-York City
and other places where Democracy holds
sway, what little vitality the party has
will have been destroyed. The leaders
know it, and hence fight desperately to
give the bruisers and ,ballot-stuffers a

rraVAT.E advimi received at Wash
ington, from Andrew G. Curtin, Amer
ican Minister to the Court of St, Pete -
burg, speak encouragingly of his ex
pected entire restoration to health,
which was so impaired by his arduous
official services during the rebellion. On
the tat of July he proposed to leave St.
Petersburg for the Warm Springs of
Germany, having received two months'
leave of absence from the State Depart
ment at Washington, to enable him to
accept the proffered courtesies at the
hands of the Emperor in an invitation
to accompany himself and Minister
Gortscbakoff, which high honor ie a
mark of the warm feeling entertained
for the nation of which Minister Curtin
is so able a representative,
Tim despatches from Rome on the
Jefalihiitty question either betray a good ,
deal of vacillation en the part of the

be abruptly terminated and the new
dogma to be declared by the lit of July.
It is now announced that the Ecumeni
cal Council will sit through the summer,
not adjourning finally until Easter,' MI
that one hundred speeches inscribed on
the infallibility dogma are yet to be

Catholic Powers in Europe are laboring'
bard either to prevent the adoption of
the dogma or to secure a material modi
fication of its terms.
Tan Diocesan Convention of the Pro

f Some of the Democratic journals., of
New York batting recently indulged in
1 bitter attacks upon President Grant and
his Cabinet, the Tribune, under the heed
ing of "The Administration a Succees,",
replies thus pointedly: •
General Grant's career as President is
• . vehemently pronounced a faifilie bYeinch
representatives of different opinions and
constituencies as the World and the Sun.
The ontedenounces him because, where
as he one* seemed to hive few affiliations
with professional politicians, he is now
on the beat - terffiVeiefffthein ebeeintse he
• shows capacity to forget personal grudg
es in desire to do his duty, and thus
opens cordial relations with old antago
nists like General Butler; because he is
not, as it avers, a brilliant President,
(like Pierce or Buchanan, we suppose,)
is not ambitious to enYorce a policy•of
his own, but is most ready, waiving his
own opinions, when necessary, to accept
and execute the will of tile people se. ex
pressed through Congress..
The Sun is even more *eliement but
less explicit; It denounces him; (after
claiming tbat, - but for its editor, he would
never have - been Commander-in-Chief,
or President,) because he takes oceasion
al seasons of relaxation from the cares
of office; because he does not always se
lect noted politicians for the offices; be
cause he does riot adopt a high tonewith
effete and bankrupt Spain; because he
has appointed to office men once engaged
in rebellion; and, in general, because, as
it alleges, he is lazy and incompetent.
With the personal matters which,
one of these cases—that of Mr. Dana•
are openly discussed in connection with
this judgment, we have nothing to du.,
With the judgment itself we propose
briefly to deal. We do not regard Pres
ident Grant's administration as a fail
ure. We do regard it as a very safe and
substantial success, and we do not for
one moment doubt that, outside the nar
row but noisy limits of political disap
pointments arid aspirations, the sober,
well considered judgment of the country
sincerely and heartily renders the same
verdict. We remember that there was
a time when Mr. Lincoln was denounced
in terms almost identical with those now
used in denunciation of President Grant.
He was accused of lack of brilliancy.
He was declared to be no politician. 'He
was said to cling to political nobodies,
like Bates and Usher and Welles; to ig
nore the live, powerfra•men of the party,
lake Chase and Gameron and :Butler.
He was without pluck, allowing the
country to be bellied by Great Britain
with her privateers, and by. Prance with
her Mexican expedition. He sought re
laxation from the cares of office, and
even indulged in the enormity of telling
stories while the Republic was in the
throes of a struggle for its existence.
Yet, in spite of envenomed assault on
these and many like scores, he was re
nominated without a count.
Then was seen how trivial and incon
sequential was all this noisy surface op
position, It was found that, since Jack
son, no man had so reached the popular
heart. Assailed in committee rooms, he
was applauded in town - meetings,- Die
trusted in caucuses, he was enthusiasti
cally followed by the plain yeonaanry of
the country. The men who cast the
votes believed in him to their heart's
core, and his second race for the Presi
dency was no race at all, but a triumph
al procession. It is too soon to say that
President Grant's peplarity Will to the
end abide the - Tee testo—it is pot too
soon to say that it now eeems of like
• ,
character. The plain people believ e in
him as they.believed in Lincoln, They
consider his Administration as they con-I
aidered Lineoln's—a success. And thiky
are - rignt. roe
Grant's Administration is collecting
the revenue, economizing the expendi
tures., and paying thedebt. When Pres
ident Grant, wee inaugurated 'the nation
al
debt was $2,;7.88,803, M the end
• of his first year it wass2*,; 0:,785, and
since then it has been Steadily kneed
in ever-increasing ratio, tet taxes haie
not been increased. On the contrary,
special taxes have from time to time
. been largely reduced, invests have been
rera„.o, the burden has been more and
mire rated from productive - industry,
and at this very moment, in accordance
with President Grant's earnest desire, a
modified Tax and Tariff bill is before the
Senate, having already passed the House,
which takes Off at a single' stroke sixty- 7
five millions more. Yet the revenue in
creases. What, under Johnson, went
into the pockets of the thieves, goes, un
der Grant, into the coffers of the Treas
ury, and 14 amount is dedtrcted trim
the annual tazatipn. !,
Grant's administiation; though that
of -the most successful and renowned
soldier of his ago, is earnestly seeking
peace with all nations and avoiding en
tangling alliances. We have not always
been able to agree with some details of
his foreign policy; but this hilts net re
suit. Personally, a known devotee Of
the doctrine of Menifest Destiny, Presi
dent Grant has shown' so scrupulous a
regard for the rights of our' weaker
neighbors that the suspicions Mexicans
have ceased to disturb him, and the
critical and unfriendly British Cabinet
and press are forced to accord him re
luctant praise, It lie his not done all
thifigs as to Cuba as we would wish
them, we are bound at least to recognize
the fact that he has preserved our bur
dened people from war, protected our
crippled commerce from depredation,
and . made energetic diplomatic efforts
for the protectiop of American citizens
in ineurrectiollary regions.
Grant 7 s Adardnietsation has kept the
peace on the frontier, We have been
threatened with an Indian war that,
under former managements, would have
swallowed up'
.hundreds of millions.
With a soldier at the head "bf the Gov
ernment, we might have kioked for the
logic of the bayonet in the interpretation
of Indian treaties, protection of the -ad
vancing railroads, and openeig pp of the
Indian country. Instead, we have had
an Indian placed at the head *of the
Bureau controlling the rations of the
Government with his people, Quakers
selected for tea rnp , the wishes of
Sherman and Sheridan held in check,
and Spotted Tail and Red Cloud brought
Peacefully to Washington at the moment
when their barbarous hordes seemed
ready to raise the war-hoop and ply the
scalping-knife along hundreds of miles
of our exposed settlements, We reckon
the economy of Grant's Quaker policy,
not less than economy wrought by an
hoe* collection of our revenue.
• Grant's Administration Lae secured
the triumph of Equal Eights, For the
Passage of the Fifteenth Amendment we
owe him grateful thanks. Against him
it might possibly have been carried; with
his earnest, cordial and efficient cooper- .
ation it was certainly attained more
speedily, and witpout a serious struggle-
In this and in all other leading =swim
he has been most true to the principles
of the party that elected him--has lent
his most faittkful awl powerful aid to
secure their triumph, and has honestly
administered his great office in their
light, He has utterly disappointed the

But we need not continue the recital.
How poor and beggarly beside - these
things seems the complaint that the
President chooses to take such relaxa
,tion as every clerk or shop-keeper seeks
to secure; that he does not notoinate for
office politicians, with those' claims
noisy iteration has made the public ear
familiar; that he does not make rhetori
cal speeches and does not seek to estab
lish some great brilliant policy of foreign
aggrandizement or domestic expenditure
in defiance of the will of the people!
We never advocated President Grant
as a great statesman. We point to his
,record with hearty satisfaction, and are
sure that the coWntry will unite with us
in pronouncing him a sound -and safe
man still.

descendant of-, Villiers, the favorite of

ward Hyde, the first Earl of Clarendon,
who died , in 1874, He was in the seven
ty-first year of his age, having been born
on the 12th of January, 1800. President
Grant, on the receipt of the news of his .
death, sent a telegram to Minister Mot
ley tendering the sympathies of the peo•
pie of the United States to Queen Vic
toria and the British people, and condo
lence to those -to whom the last 3 brings
personal grief. The President says the
"fame of the Earl of Clarendon belongs
to the world, and hi loss will be felt by
other nations than that in whose behalf
be labored for the advance of civilization
and the interests of peace." Though he
was not what may be termed a brilliant
man, he was a shrewd diplomatist, and,
as will doubtless be remembered, got de
cidedly the better of Mr. Reverdy John
son in the treaty concerning the Alaba,
ma claims, which was so promptly and
emphatically rejected by the U. S. Sen
ate. His last act, in which our country
was interested—the negotiation with
Mr. Motley of the Naturalization treaty,
which was signed by them at London on
the 10th of May—was highly honorable,

'or several rods the buildings were de
molished. Laths and plaster were Ultra
to the winds r as one would knock the
ashes from a cigar; partitions were blown
out, windows and sashes splintered to
fragments, bed clothing
,torn from the
beds and flung into all sorts of places, and
rain made of what were an instant before
secure and quiet homes. • A .
Below the esrs and on the track itself
the rails were twisted from their places,
the ties were annihilated, and the axles
broken off and driven into the ground Mr
half their lengths. In all directions the
shattered and broken iron work told a
plain story of the fearful force that had
been so suddenly developed. For rods
around the contents of the cars were fiat
tered upon the track; pieces of cotton
cloth, sides and scraps of leather, shoes,
'furniture, stationery, littered the road.
The telegraph poles for several hundred
feet were blown to pieces, and the wires,
twisted into fantastic shapes, drooped
from such as remained standing. The
wheels of the ears were blown to frag
ments, and one of the palls that play in
the ratchet of the brSke was picked up
half a mile away. It went whizzing into
the kitchen of a housewife and struck
against the fire place.
The platen of a large iron phuring-ma
chine in the New York 3Tachine Works
was lifted clear off its bed by the concus
sion. ' Children white about the lips, and
men and women with scared faces, ran
hither and thither. One man, sieir in bed
with rheumatism, was blown out of bed
into an tu - ljoining-grarden. Soon wasmade
manifest that remarkable passion fair
relics, if not for plunder, that character
izes so many penons. Things that could
not by any stretch of imagination be use
ful were quickly snatched up and secreted.
Old pieces of leather, scraps of writing
paper, envelopes, soleless slippers, a shred
of muslin, a toot or two of wire, nothing
was so small as to escape notice.
SPAIN ABD St.svEnv.—The bill to abol

which passed the Cortes on Wednesday,
though not all that conld be desired, is
more than many expected of Spain. This
bill provides that all children born of slave

free. Slaves who have fought in the Span

county, Mississitpi, the county of Vicks
burg, and of Jeff Davis, who informs me
that the great renegade is now at Mem
phis, living in poor health, and that not
only his property, but that of Joe Davis,
his richer brother, is almost entirely lost
to them. Joe Davis' plantation is now
owned by Ben Montgomery, formerly a
negro slave in the family, who was taught
to read by white people in New Orleans,
Washington and other places which he
visited as a body-servant, and who finally
became onaseer and accountant of his
insulter. After the investment of Vicks
burg, when the Davises were refugees,
Montgomery had chance to plant three
full crops of cotton, and he made enough
money to pay the first instalment of the
purchase price of the plantation, viz ;
$200,000. He has made several payments
since, and he is now esteemed among the
ablest planters in Mississippi
