the sprucest 6E3" boy. to the venerable
white-haired field-hand, who was bare
ly able to . hobble to.tlie polls, and who
seemed as if about to deposit his ballot
for the first . - and last time_ of his life;
shades wore present, from the
unmitigated blackness of the Congo to
the fairwhiteness of the Octoroon, who
might lay claim to be wholly Caucas

What ,Greeley Thinks of jt,
Horaceas well as some other pro:4-
:24kt Republicans .in. this State, don't
think well of the manner the State
Central Committee * have commenced
the • campaign. In a late number of
the :Tribune Horace says :
We _cannot endorse the address of
the-Republican State Committee, in
which Judge Sly.rswood is attacked
with more zeal than discretion. Ile is
denounced as the orator of a States
rights -celebration, held in . the dark
ages•of 1834, as if an act of 39 years ago
could have..yital . -meaning now. The
very toasts offered by others at the
dinner in 1831 are quoted to show that
Judge Sharswood is -not fit for the of
fice of Chief Justice, and the editor ,
isle of obscure' papers are copied
in capital: letters, as proof of his
sympathy' with the rebellion. The case
of Rerieiagainst Trott, in which Judge
- SharsWood decided against the consti
tutional poiver of Congress to make
paper money, is also advanced as an
argument against hie election—a purely
legal - decision, which, whether right or
wrong, was made solely upon Judge
Sharswood's understanding of the law.
We submit that this is not the way
in which Pennsylvania should elect
her chief judicial officers. Such a can
vitas should, be conducted on the high"
net gioutid possible' in party rivalry,
and. espticial care -should be taken not
to.dragin the dirt the ermine - of jus
tice ~, The. f ermat decisions of eminent
jddges upon the points of law ought not
to be bandied about in appeals to pop
ular passion. The purity and honor of
the judiciary are more than a party tri
umph.. If the decisions of a court aro
to be the subject of party strife, and
debated in stump speeches, We may
bid farewell -to an independent and
fearlesS judiciary. Hold the judge ac
countable to a political party for his
construction of the law, and we inevi
tably tempt him to sacrifice his integ
rity; te • become -that meanest, of all
creatures—a sworn minister of justice,
obedient to the dictates of politicians.
It is precisely thisjobdency which we
filar the Republican State Committee
of Pennsylvania unconsciously encOur
agei4trid we would bid them take warn
ing.- by , the wretched and degraded
reputation of the judiciary of this city,
in which the courts have• become the
mere tools of political clubs.
Adulterations of Food,
The times and principles of men are
so out of joint, that when we sit down
to a table the chances are ten :to ono
that wev will not eat some substantial,
healthful edible, as we may suppose.
Ego' * s have not yet been counterfeited;
but as to milk; is there any'in our large
cities that is not a, mixture ?' A huri
dred mixtures make our ground cof
fee; and out' tea, to a great extent, is
made over after it has been used at the
tables of hotels. There is a substance
called terra alba,or white earth,brought
from Ireland, and sold .for two and a
half cents a -pound, which enters large
ly into many of our confections. When
sugar costs from fifteen to twenty cents
a pound, the temptation to adulterate
with this stuff is scarcely to be resisted
by unprincipled shopkeepers. The
body of candies - and the coating of loz
ongos and' almonds are made of this in
many cases, as it is whiter than pies
tor, and is largely used in the adulter
, ation'of flour. In one ounce of
lozen
ges, two-thirds of the weight, when
dissolved in Water, was !nothing but
this white earth. (.11-umitrabie is too cost
ly for pure gum-drops to be made to
advantage, so a substitute is made
which, although it is beautiful to look
at, is very poisonous,
Liquorice drops nee made for the
trade of the poorest kind of sugar and
lampblack, and merely flavored with
liquorice. Twenty parts of liquorice
and eighty per cont. of white earth aro
dexterously mixed, and sent to the
South aria West as pure liquorice.
Traders do nothesitate to use the 'most
virulent poisons to mako pickles appear
fresh and green; while it is a notorious
fact that skilled persons can by a com
bination of drugs make almost any li
quor known, and which will so nearly
resemble the taste of tho true article,
that experts are deceived. To escape
these, impositions, it is not sufficient
thata man has the utmost confidence
in his grocer,, for he, too, may be pro
foundly deceived. Let every family
have the courage to niako its own
bread—oven buying the grain in the
berry, and grinding it with a hand
mill, if convenient; to prepare its own
fruits ; and'asto every compound arti
cle of foo`d-,which comes to the table,
let it do its own mixing—Phrenologi

WOMEN AND TEA.--Much of the
nervous unrest and over anxiety of
tho women.of this generation is due to
the excesside use of tea. "Our grand
mothers" drank it and worked it off
through the muscular system; but
those of the age, with brain and nerves
more sensitive, and engaged in pur
suits which intensify this condition,
are rendered more excitable •by stim
ulants, which, under other circum
stances, might bo used with: Much less
harm. Women who do much manual
labor drink their tea, do their work,
and sleep well; while those . are very
nervous and wakeful whose employ
ments aro sedentary, or such as in duce
more mental than ,muscular activity.
I have known many of the latter class
who lived largely upon their tea, eat
ing little food and growing thin, sensi
tive, and sleepless, sharp in the face,
sharp in the feeling, and 'often sharp
iu words too.' Tea May be ono of the
good things when used to steady and
strengthen the nervous system when
depressed by accident, severe sickness,
or overwork; but those who live on it
live too fist, and when' they have once
come to rely upon it,"feel weak and
worthless without it, and with it grow
more and more nervous still, wonder
in; why, because they 'fancy their
"breakfast tea" is as'safeto be drank
as new milk at all times of day and
night. Black tea is foss stimulating than
green, consequently less injurious, but
even this will not do for t.victuals,
drinks and lodging," as the Irishman
said of his whisky.—Herald of Hea,44.
The Trial of Surratt.
The arguments of counsel occupied
the entire week. On-Monday Mr. Car
rington resumed the summing up for
the.proseculion . and gave a careful re
view of the testimony. On Tnesdny
Mr. Carrington concluded his remarks,
and 'Mr. Picrpont. stated the legal
points of the case. On Wednesday the
summing up fur the defence was com
menced by Mr. Merrick. On Thurs•
day Mr. Merrick concluded his argu
ment, and in reviewing the testimony
for the prosecution he said that state
ments made by witnesses had been con
tradicted in every essential particular.
Ho also asserted that some of tho wit
noses against the prisoner had been in-.
structed to testify as they did to serve
certain political ends. On Friday Mr:
Mr. Bradley, Sr., made his address and
said that the prosecution had no right
to indict the prisoner for the murder
of President [Amin, but of Abraham
Lincoln, an ordinary individual. Mr.
Bradley expressed his belief that the
jury would render a verdict of not guil
ty without leaVing their seats, and he
also hoped that they would draw up a
paper setting forth their belief in the
innocence - of Mrs. Surratt.
On Satui:day, Mr. Pierpont address.

Lion. lie had' not yet concluded his
remarks when the Court adjourned un

tinuo his remarks.
TUNNEL UNDER THE ATLANTIC.—A
proposition is on foot to start tho gi

nel under the Atlantic Ocean, in order
to connect the New and Old World to
gether by means of submarine railway.

America and Europe, have been con

port which is perfectly feasible and
only requires time and money to car

as calculated approximately, it will re
quire five hundred million English

Raub - . ' •
limitmoNDJA.jAugesti.—The
Re
publican - Convention met to-day in the
African. Church,- kt--12- o'clock. The
negroes were present in tremendous
force, filling-every available inch of
space • in the building, and extending
over tho sidewalks for a considerable
distance down the street. The heat
was very trying, and told with such
effect upon the speakers that a propo
sition was made, and very readily car
ried,that the assembly should adjourn
to the Capitol square, whore more, air
and space prevailed.
• Delegates representing every possi
ble shade of color were present from
all parts of the State. Mr. Hunnicutt
took the stand and made a long har
angue, advising tho negroes to look
well to the organization of the Con
vention. Eventually ho subsided, but
more from the excessive temperature
of tho place than from any lack of
didactic radicalism.
Tho stops Of the Capitol were crow
ded, and immediately in front a vast
mass of colored men was assembled.
It became evident to themanagers of
the Convention that no buSincss could
ho proceeded with in this open air
gathering, as the Speakers were' hard
ly hoard beyond the limits of the plat
fOrre i'fbOre.fore it, was decided that
one delegate from each town and
county in the State 'be appointed to
meet at the Republican Headquarters
and organize the business of the Con
vention.
,The delegates to tho number of abou t
ono hundred, accordingly met,' and
quite a liVel'y time ensued inspecting
the antecedents of some of Lim, elected'
delegates. Ilfr. Franklin Stearn,who
boars the reputation of ,being ono of
the best Union men in Richmond, was
rejected as a delegate from lionrino
county, and a colored man named
Swann pat in his plaCe. On exami
nation it turned out that Stearns was
elected by one hundred votes at a pub
lic meeting, while the other received
the suffrages of nearly seven hundred
blank loyal Leaguers. After the doci,
sion was rendered Mr. Stearns spoke
for a short tiMe, contending that loyal
Leagues ivoro'institutions of which the
public knew nothing; that they were
incorrect exponents of public opinion,
being ono sided in the extreme, and
consequently that his exclusion was
partial and unfair. Ultimately it was
decided against Mr. Stearns, and' he
was forced to leave.
Dlr. Stearns is the right hand man
of John M. Botts, and the
. managers
of the Convention' were untnistakably
bent upon nullifying the influence of
Botts, and making,' it a purely black
convention.
After deciding several other cases
of admission to the Convention, the
assembly dispersed. to the Capitol
Square, where eonsiderable radical
speechifying had been going on through.•
out the day. Mir. Hunnicutt mounted
the_rostrum and spoke for over a half
an hour, detailing, the proceedings of
the day, and asking to be endorsed in
tho'course he had pursued. ,
It was finally moved by Mr. Botts,
of Norfolk, that the platform of - the
17th of April be re-adopted, which
was done, the assembly acting unani
mously in the matter.
A colored man named Dr. Caine, of
Norfolk, and a half-drunken white
man named Baker, occupied the at
tention of the assembly in the square
until dark, discussing whether the
Convention should adjourn till to-mor
row or sine die. In the end it was de
cided by an overwhelming vote that
the Convention should adjourn until
'to morrow at 10 o'clock.
The absence of Mr. Botts has been
subject of universal.cominent, and the
inference generally deduced is that
the Convention has suffered a split.
Botts and his followers will go in,for
white man's convention.—N. Y. Her

the
PaoarEcTs.—L.Reierring to
the recent arrival of about four hun
dred MOrnion emigrants, the New - York
Tribune says :—"By all - accOn is i t
seems certain that they will find their
paradise in a sad turmoil when'they
get to it, and the saints in a !nest un-,
godly rumpus. The schism to Which
we alluded a short time ago, has be
come so wide, and has mado'such ati
ugly wound, that there is little pros
pect of its ever' being healed.' Brigham
Young is boldly denounced. His -fol
lowers have ceased to obey him; his
adversaries set him at' ileflanee.' When
ha falls, the keystone of the Mormon
structure is overthrown. The Latter.
Day Church cannot outlast its great
prophet. It is said that Young is about
to remove to the newly discovered
gold mines of Utah; but we aro loth to
believe that he so quickly givesi up the
fight, and it is more probable that he
will make a determined stand at his
capital. At any rate, the Mormon
difficulty, which has perplexed us for
so many yeara,Seems to lm rapidly sol
ving itself without our assistance. In
another generation we, may hope to
see the polygamists of the great plains
quietly absorbed by a law-abiding and
industrious race of now settlers. If
they withstand the combined influen
ces of internal discord, the Pacific rail
way, and the tido of immigration
which will be attracted to Utah by the
discovery of gold in the Territory, they
will show a stability and strength of
character to which history affords no
parallel."
IT has been estimated that the num
ber of Catholics in the United States in
1830 was 450,000; in 1840 it was 960,-

to these estimates the Catholics double
in number every ten years, and to

A FRENCH HERGINE.—The 'inhabi
tants of Beauvais, the chief town of
the Department of the Oise, France,
have just celebrated the aniversary of
their heroine, Jeanne Hachette, pop.
ularly known as the "Fete of the As
sault." Beauvais was besieged in 1472,
when Charles the bold of Burgun
dy was at war with Louis XI. The
besieged were exhausted, and on the
point of giving way, when the women
of Beauvais,.armed with pike's, staves
tipped with iron, and such other weap
ons as they - could lay their hands on,
mounted the ramparts under the guid
ance of an intrepid young woman
named Jeanne Laine, better knoWn as
"Hachette," from the weapon which
she used. Jeanno caught the Burgun
dian standard, which the enemy were
about to plant on the wall, struck
down with her hatchet the officer who
held it, and .huzled him into the ditch
below. •
The example of the courageous girl
inspired her townsmen with, fresh cour
age, and the result was that the troops
of Burgundy were repulSedwitb great
slaughter, an& the„ siege had , to be
raised. In Commemoration, .of tho
conduct of Joanne and her intrepid
companions, Louis XI ordered that in
the fete to bo culebrated every year in
Beauvais the women should take pre•
cadence of the men. The King also
ordered that, by "reason of her great
courage," she should he married to one
Collin Pillon ; and by an edict, dated
February 1473, that the said Collin
Pillon and his wife Jeanne should be
exempt from:the payment of imposts
of every kind levied throughout his
kingdom, in whatsoever part of: it
they happened to reside.

and, the• head .of it almost an inch
around. She had thoughtlessly - put
the pin in her Mouth, through which it:
slipped backward. The , mother of the,
child thrust a finger •into its throat,
which motion, instead of producing the
desired result, worked the pin forward
into the windpipe. - Violent paroxysms
of coughing followed; but as the child
had moments of comparative ease, the
parentS postPoned an operation, which
was advised at first. The paroxysms
became more severe, the face was of a
purple color; and the breathing so la
bored that it could be heard at, a con
siderable distance. 'Her suffering may
be imagined. She begged for relief,
and desired the operation. The case
was given into the charge of Drs. Innes,
G. B. -Slough, and Field. An opefa
tion afforded'tho only hope of recth
ery. It was performed hy Dr. Field,
assisted by Drs. Slough and times, in
the presence of medical students and
neighbors. Chloroform was given, an
incision made along the middle line of
the neck, and the windpipe opened to
within an trcked' the breastbone. The
proper instruments were then introdu
ced, and the pin was found imbedded in
the division of 'the Windpipe that goes
to the right lung., It was removed,
and may be seen on inquiry. The lit
tle patient,• thus snatched from death,
will soon be entirely free f'rom the ef
fects of the operation.—Easton Express.
XIMILIAN P S WILL.—A letter from
Vienna to the Paris "Liberte" con
tains the following statement of a cu
rious testamentary arrangement be
tween Didximilian and Carlotta:
Two wills, perfectly' nalogous, were
drawn nit by the Emperor and Em,
press. Each of them, in case there was
no issile 'Of the marriage, leaves all
the property to the survivor. Thus,
Maximilian being dead, his fortune,
estimated at'from"teti to twelve
lions of florins, Only' Calculating his
property at Miramar, Lacroma, and
the artistic wealth collected there, re
verts to the 'Empress' Carlotta. - 'The
will of Maximilian is there to attest it.
But now•comes the strange affair.
It is asserted that the Empress Carr
lotta's written with her own hand,and
which was carefully locked up in ono
of the rooms at Miramar, has sudden
ly disappeared,-nobody knows how or
where. From . that circumstance it
results that, as the Empress Carlotta
has no will and is not in a state to make
one, seeing the almost complete ab
sence of her mental faculty, all her for
tune,including the part coming from her
husband, the EmperorMakimilian,and
which ought in justice, after her death,
revert to•the Austian imperial family,
will.now legally fall to the royal one
of Belgium.
THE shorry wine merchants at Cadix
have told our_Consul that "the stuff
sent to the United States. as no sher
ry at all, but slope_ need to wash out
the tubs and for other dirty work . about
the stills."
LITTLE "All Right" is not dead, and
on that you may safely bet. Ho lives,

Bowars.—The following nmy be of
interestto the ladies : When you re
ceive a boquet sprialdelt lightly with
fresh water; then put it in a vbssel
containing soap suds; this will nutrify
the stem and keep the flowers as bright
as new.• Take,the boquet' out of the,
suds every morning and lay it sideways
(the stock entering first) -into clean
water. Keep it, there a minute or two;
then take it out and sprinkle:the flow
ers lightly. by the hanfl, with:Ay:4er ;
r.l.plueo-it4h the soap suds 'and it will
bloom as freSh As when first gathered.
The soap suds need' changing every
three or four days. By observing these
rules a -boquet may be kept bright
and beautiful for at least a : month, and
will Jest still longer in. very passable
state but attention of the fair crea

served, or all will perish ; ,
