They have visited and are visit ing daily the Star Store of Mr, M. Mater, in North Hanover street, formerly occupied and known as Mr. Miller’s bakery, one door North of Dr. Dale’s, Carlisle, wherethey con stantly find the beat and cheapeat assortment of MILLINARY GOODS,-such as Bonnets, in straw, silk and velvet, richly trimmed.— Ladies and Missis Hats, in straw, felt, silk and velvet, trimmed with bird's feathers, Ac., &b.

By strict attention to his business, and by constantly receiving fresh supplies from Now York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, Mr. Mat er offers rare inducements, and respectfully requests the ladies of Carlisle and vicinity'to .give him a call. tfi Larob Sales or Real Estates.— Never, perhaps, in the history of our town has there been such a general change of ownershio of real property as within the last four weeks. Almost every day some important sale has been announced, and there is no lull in the activity of the market. In several instances, sales have been made one day and the same property disposed of the next at a considera ble advance. We need scarcely remark that in all of these oases the original owners were of that pennywise and pound foolish class who think there is no virtue in advertising, and whose commodities never find their way Into the newspapers. We give herewith the facts as far as we are acquainted with them of some of the moat important transactions in real estate. Wo do not pretend to be strictly accurate as to the amounts paid, but give what we believe to be correct: Robert Corman sold the "Gorman House’’ so George W. Hilton, for 519,000. Robert Given bought at public sale, from Beetem's Administrators, the site of the old “Wash ington Hotel," for $8,034. Simon W. Early bought from John Gutshall the “ National Hotel,” at the south end of Hanover street, for $B,OOO. Alexander Calbcart bought from Jacob Rheem the three brick dwellings and warehouse, on ihe corner of Main and West streets, and on West street, for $9,950. — Messrs. J. & D. Rhoads sold the brick hotel and warehouse adjoining the above property, to Dr. J. J. Zitzer, for $12,000. Robert O. Woodward bought at public sale, from the Rev. George A. Leidig, the two brick dwel lings on the south side of West Main street, for $6,000. John N- Armstrong sold to Da vid Martin his brick house on West-Main street for $5,500. Ho also sold a brick house on S. West street to E. & S. Lee for $2,240, and another in the same row to J. M. Weak ley for $2,000. A W. Bentz sold to his broth er James Bentz, the property on the north east corner of Hanover and Pomfret streets, for $4,500. Snyder & Newcomer sold their Warehouse, &c., on the West end of Mein Street, to John Beetem & Brothers, for $lB,- 000. John B. Bratton purchased the proper ty in South Hanover street, formerly owned by Dr. Loomis, for $6,000, and re-sold it to Mrs. Wm. M. Beetem for $6,200. C. Inhoff has purchased the three-story brick house in the same street, from George Winters, for $6,000. Jacob Witmer bought C. Murray's brick house, back of the College, for $3,500. John Hutton sold his stone house near the above property, to Col. J. Williamson, for $l,BOO. J. & W. Spangler sold their prop erty, on the corner of Pitt and North streets, to Fred’k. Cramer, for $3,000. A. L. Spoo ler, Real Estate Agent, sold to Capt. Shoop the property of the heirs of John Philips on West High street, for $3,000. Judge Watts sold to W. C. Sawyer the George A. Lyon property on East High street, for $5,500. Herald. Tats Weather last Sunday was made up of rain, enow, bail, sunshine and clouds, with a good strong breeze accompanyingeach change. Promenading was not very conve nient, especially when a gust of wind would" take one’s umbrella above the housetops, or the hail out into the flesh of the unlucky ,wight who attempted to brave the weather. The different changes were very rapid, and those who started for home in the sunshine would find the need of shelter before passing a square. Altogether the day was a disa greeable one. PROFANE AND DISGUSTING. The notorious 11 Judge Kelly,” one of the Jacobin members of Congress from Philadel phia—the same man that Cameron, in n lit tle speech he recently made before the “ loy al” office holders of the city, denounced as 11 a little man, who prowled dbout the Con gressional lobbies and departments for the purpose of enriching himself,” was.one of the selected speakers on the occasion of the inauguration Of the Philadelphia Homo for disabled Soldiers and Sailors. As usual, this "little man” spread himself. Speak ing of our wounded soldiers (estimated by him at one hundred and twenty five thou sand,) ho said, “ they nro not mete heroes, but Cods, so far do they tower above any thing in the past!" Muoh as wo and all other men desire to see the wounded soldier oared for and made comfortable—muoh as we feel sympathy for him—we cannot agree that he is either a God or an angel. To speak of him in this language, is impious, profane, disgusting and insincere. And, coming from Wm. D. Kel ly, a man whose character is not above sus picion, the sentiment appears horrible.— KELLy’s_wondorful love for our “ wounded heroes” is “ all in my eye, Betty Martin.”— During the late political contest we had two wounded soldiers—Colonels Davis and Lin ton—candidates before the people. They had distinguised themselves in many battles, and had received dangerous and almost fatal wounds. But who opposed, these -veterans more bitterly than Judge Kelly? Who so willing to misrepresent them 7 iVho so ready to blacken their characters and to stig matize them and apply to them opprobrious epithets? These “wounded veterans” were two of Kelly’s “ Gods,” but yet his slander ous tongue was busy in its work against them up to the day of the election, and no man rejoiced over -their defeat with more gusto than the slungwhange-r Kelly, lie to talk about wounded soldiers being “ Gods” indeed! The miserable hypocrite! Intelli gent soldiers cannot bo deceived by the ful some flatteries of Kelly and men -like him, who remained at homo to hold office and to speculate in shoddy and bounty money. We have often been amazed nt the impu dence of some men, who are constantly eulo gizing our soldiers, but this man Kelly caps the climax for downright effrontery. If play ing soldier made Gods of men, as Kelly says, why did he not join the army and be come a “God," instead of a stay at-home? Ho is yet in the prime of life, and was more able to handle a musket than tens of thou sands of men who wore in our monster army. For four years or more we had scores of just such men as Kelly in all parts of our coun try—men who were willing to deliver “ loy , ul" speeches and commend soldiers, but who at the same time had an open eye on Uncle Sara’s money bags. During the war men covered up their villainies and diverted at tention from their doings by their professions of “ loyalty” and loud wailings of sympathy for the well-provided negroes of the South. They were stealing, nearly every mother’s son of them. They grow fat and sleek and intensely “ loyal," but made it a point not to be in the neighborhood of life rebels. They had no taste for that kind of “loyalty.”— They affect to believe that wounded soldiers . aie “ Gods,” but they had no desire to be , come “ Gods" themselves ; they chose rath er to remain grasping devils. The sympathy , they feel for the soldier is about the sympa thy the wolf feels for the lamb before ho makes a meal of it—a sympathy that pays well, and satisfies a glut oouus appetite.— When they could make money by fleecing the soldier, did they not do it? And is it not true that when they want his vote they flatter him and lie to him 7 Oh, they are a most heartless set of sharpers, those “ loyal thieves,” and it is a disgrace and burning shame that such men are recognized ns the .leaders of a once prosperous and happy peo ple. It is a bad omen, for “ sin is a reproach to any people.” “Ye Old en Time." — A cotemporary ob serves that it is refreshing to those who live in this ago of extravagance to look back over a period of forty yeais, and see how people lived in days gone by. It seems there were no extortionists at that time—they must be " leeches of a very recent growth.” A glance at tho “ weekly prices current," published in the month of November, 1824, will satisfy the reader of the correctness of our remarks. We publish tho articles side by side with the present market rates of Carlisle, in order to show tho cost of living then and now : 1824.—Butter 8 cents per pound, hams 7 cents per pound, lard 7 cents per pound, shoulders 4} cents, eggs 7 cents per doz., po tatoes ISA cents per bushel, wheat flour $4.75 per barrel, rye flour $1.02 per barrel, wheat 90 cents per bushel, rye 31 cents per bushel., corn 28-ooats per bushel, oats 20 cents per bushel. 1805.—Butter 45 cents per pound, hams 30 cents per pound, lard 28 cents per pound, shoulders-22 cents per pound, eggs 30 cents per dozen, potatatoco 75 cts. per bushel, wheat flour $ll.OO per barrel, rye flour $7 per bar rel, wheat $2 20 per bushel, rye $1.20 per bushel, corn 90 cents per bushel, oats 65 cts. per bushel. Quite a difference to be perceived. Reason —we had Democratic currency in .the olden time, now, Shoddy rags. A Nuisance. —Ever since the commence ment of oar daylight markets numerous com plaints have been made by our people who Attend market of a confounded nuisance which exists every market day.—allowing small children to crowd in upon our markets. Wo have frequently called attention to this un necessary nuisance, but we find that matters are unchanged, and that nearly all the chil dren in town attend market now-a-days, "just for tho fun of the thing,” as they say. It may be fun to them, but a very great nuis ance to those who are obliged to attend mar ket. Wo hope something will be done to protect our people from this prevailing prac tice. Parents should strictly forbid their children to go near the market liouso--or else the market-master should use a little brief authority. We venture to say tho lat ter oure will bo the best. Beggars.; —Beggars and vagrants oan be seen on our streets almost constantly. Many of them avo halo and hearty, and might make a decent living, by going to work. It is no charity to assist these loafing vagrants, and they should not be encouraged in their lazi ness. MORE FRAUDS BY '‘ LOYAL THIEVES.” The Now York correspondent of the Phila delphia Jti3i»Ver;( Republican paper,) in one of his late letters, says: “ For some time past the Government has been defrauded to a considerable extent by shippers who have accomplices in the Custom House. Yesterday a libel was filed with United States 'Commissioner Newton against three hundred barrels of alonho), lying on board of n vessel at South Sixth street wharf, Brooklyn. The alcohol was seized by-the Government officials, and all the parties con cerned arrested. It appears thit the ship pers, aided by clerks in the Castoni House, have been in the habit of putting liquors, al cohol and other good?, in bond for exporta tion, and shipping the articles in outward bound vessels, again transferring them to other vessels and lighters, and clandestinely landing them in remote parts of Brooklyn and New York. By this system of swind ling the revenue-is defrauded out of the whole amount of duties. This can only bo done by the connivance of the -Custom, inspectors, who,should see that no goods are landed in their respective districts without proper an tnority. Thu names of the parties consume! in these alleged frauds are withhold for the present, but it is said one clerk in the Cus tom House realized fur his services io one transaction the handsome sum of $lO,OOO. “ For some time past it has been a current Tumor in Brooklyn that -extensive -robberies have been committed by snme of the sldrks connected with the Post Office Money let tore have boon robbed and the Post Office au thorities have been endeavoring for some time past to detect the guilty parties. Mr. Qaylor, one ot the special agents and detect ives of the Post Office Department, succeeded on Thursday in detecting one of the clerks in the act of opening a letter -which contaiaod money.” Frauds! frauds!—robberies’! thefts'!—•will they never cease? Every paper we open contains nn account of a gigantic fraud or theft. Not long ago the New York Tribune, (Greely’s paper,) in speaking of the wide spread dishonesty that has prevailed for sev eral years, stated as its belief that nearly if not quite one-half our entire National debt had been brought-upon us by dishonest agents in Government employ I Never perhaps, in the history of the world, was there such extended -corruption, profligacy and vil lainy- In every branch of the public service —in the Departments at Washington, in the ‘ army, -navy, -oastom-houso?, post-offices, in Congress, everywhere, the “ loyal supporters of the Government” are at work, helping themselves to the people’s money. From the very hour Mr, Lincoln was sworn into office ■the system of robbery and theft commenced, and it has been kept up ever since. But, had wo a right to expect anything else? Are wo justified in expressing aston ishment at anything now ? Did not the Re publican party obtain power by buying up the venal in every Northern State? Look at the leaders of that party. Who are they ? Many of the most prominent were ■ formerly Democrats. They wore comparatively poor when Mr. Lincoln took his seat as President. They are now millionaires. They own blocks of brown-stone houses, thousands of acres of land, and their safes are filled with Govern ment bonds. Oh, how happy are they, and how very “ loyal.” Is it to be wondered -at then that the office holders, in imitation of the big leaders of their party, are also engaged in swindling the Government? President Johnson, we believe, would put a stop to this wholesale _ manner of stealing if he could. But ho must strike at tho root of the evil if he desires to' be successful. He must throttle the leaders and set his face like flint against big thieves as well as little thieves. He must come back to the days of our fathers, when a man was respected for his integrity and virtue—to the days when a sneak could not, with impunity, put in the plea of “ loyalty” for the crime of theft. We fear, however, that President Johnson, like Mr. Lincoln, gives ear too often to bad men. Like his predecessor, he frars the threatened “ pressure.” Ho is already un popular with many of the"loval thieves” of his party, who hate him because they fear he is honest. He may be honest, and wo hope he is, but if he wishes to sustain this trait if character, he must ohoke off the leeches who are sucking the very life-blood of tho nation ; ho must put a stop to these daily and hourly robberies that we hear of. -The people are already almost taxed to death to pay tho de falcations of political gamblers, and they yearn for an honest administration with hon ejt men in all the departments. Prominent Pennsylvanians in Washing ton.—Hon. Simon Cameron, Hon. Morton MoMiohael, John Cessna and George H. Bo kor, are all in the city. Tho object of this concentration of prominent Pennsylvanians at tho Capitol has not transpired.— Washing ton Correspondent Philadelphia Inquirer. A nice party— Cajieeon, M’Michael, Cess na and Borer. They are just tho men that President Johnson has no desire to see.— With the exception of M’Michael, there is not a man of talent in the party, and why they should be considered “ prominent," it is difficult to imagine. That they are all shar pers, who have their own pookota constantly ■in-view, is very certain, but we opine the President’would prefer the views of states men just now, to tho winnings of trading politicians, who are governed by aelf-intoreat. N. B.— Lateb. —Since the above was in •type we have received the Baltimore Sun. Its Washington correspondent, in his letter dated Nov. 6, says .: *’ Sundry Northern -representatives who have come hero to browbeat the President have returned in a great rage.” The “ object of the concentration of promi nent Pennsylvanians at the Capitol,” is thus revealed. They have returned home “in # great rage." Poor fellows. N 6 one regards ■tho “ rage”-of such men very much. A Duty —Let every Democrat support bis local paper. Let him throw all the printing and advertising ho oan to its office. Encour age and strengthen it. Eemember that the Democratic press of Pennsylvania has much to contend with. Money, .power and an im mense annual patronage. Let every true Democrat who loves his principles rally to the support of tho Democratio press. Now is .the .time to mako the effort, A guberna torial contest of tho greatest interest and gi gantic importance to the people of Pennsyl vania will soon bo upon us. Tho press have a bard battle to fight. Prepare them for it. If Democrats will stick .to and aid their local presses, all will bo well.

At the late election in Philadelphia, Mr. John Given, the Republican candidate for city-Commissioner, who was obnoxious to a largo number of the voters of his own party, was defeated, and Major David P. Weaver, the Democratic candidate, was declared elec ted, by a majoiity of 1211. This was subso eeguentVy reducdd, by the correction of an error in’the returns of the Seventh Ward, to 799. Tt would therefore appear that nearly ten thousand Republican voters of Philadel phia had repudiated Given. But, in defiance of this decided verd>ot-o'f the people against him, ho has attempted an infamous fraud, in order to keep his office. At the second meet ing of the Board of Return Judges, on Fri day'last, a number of returns of an alleged soldiers’ vote were received and counted, which footed up 1329 for Given and 293 for Weaver. These, added to the homo vote, defeat the legally elected candidate, by show ing an apparent majority of 322 for Given. That a gross fraud was practiced, to arrive at this result, is tho conviction of every hon est man. So palpable is it. that nearly eve ry Republican journal in Philadelphia is com pelled, for the sake of decency, to admit and denounce it. The returns of the so called “soldiers’ vote” bear upon their face unde niable evidences of tho forgery that has been committed. The ballots are not folded; the envelopes ■are all of one kind; they were all mailed at the same Post OjJi'.e. on the same day. just in time to come to Philadelphia for the last meeting of the return Judges, Friday, October 27. They were post marked New York, as coming from New Orleans, but there had been no arrival from New Orleans at New York for some days before these returns were mailed 7 But, in tho face of such glaring proofs of the fraudulent character of these returns, they were received as genuine, and a majori ty of the Return Judges were found base enoagh to sanction this infamous outrage up on the elective franchise, by giving the 'oer (rfioste of election to Given I Major Weaver, however, has taken steps to contest the elec tion, and unless the Courts of Philadelphia have become as corrupt ns its municipal gov ernment, therein bo no doubt of his suc cess in proving the infamous forgery, and vindicating his legal right to the Commis sioner’s office. —Beading Gazette. This is but carrying oat the programme of last year, when the Republicans determined to declare Mr. Lincoln re-eleoted, at all haz ards. We believe as we live, that 'had none but legal votes been counted, Gen. McClel lan would have been declared elected. The monster vote he received in every State is evidence of this. With the exception of three or four Now England States, we be lieve McClellan carried all others. But frauds innumerable were resorted to in every direction, and an apparent majority was giv en to Mr, Lincoln. The hearts of the peo ple were with McClellan, but the bad men of the conntry were against him, for they well knew that his election would be death to them. The recent villainous fraud in Philadelphia is but a drop in the ocean com pared with the frauds of 1864. The “ sol diers’ vote” has afforded rascals a fine oppor tunity to carry out their devilish plans— These men live by fraud, have become rioh by fraud, and cheated the penitentiary by fraud. Will the people put up with these scoundrels much longer f ITOLT IN JAMAICA. About the 7th of last month a serious re volt broke out in the Island of Jamaica. So far as we can understand the matter from ■ •the hurried accounts of it received by the last steamer from Havana, it grew ont of a disturbance between eo-ne sailors and some of the police, at Moraute Bay, which led to the arrest of one of the parties implicated, and at this the colored people of the vicinity flew to arms. Day by day the riotous dispo sition grew greater, until an attack was made upon the public buildings in the town, and upon the authorities and whites gener ally. The military -and volunteers were called out, but appear to have been unable to cope with the mob. Disturbances soon broke out at Hurdley and in other places, ! and the affair at last assumed the magnitude of a rebellion in various parts of the Island. The slaughter and atrocities committed by the insurgents are described as of a charac ter that would disgrace savages. Jamaica is a British Island, and one of the most fertile of the West India possessions of Great Brit ain. After the emancipation of the slaves there, the colored people were made in all respects equal to the whites before the i law. They vote and hold office, many of them being magistrates, and some of them sitting in the Colonial Legislature. The plantation land is so fertile, that all the col ored farmer or planter has to do, is to sow bis seed or plant his canes, and nature will do the rest. The products of five acres will sup port a family almost without an effort. Un der such circumstances, it is difficult to un derstand how a war of races, such as this appears to be could ,bave any reasonable cause. The Cholera. —The people of New York are in a great state of alarm, the steamship " Atlalanta” having arrived at that port with cholera raging on board the vessel.— The steamer had made the trip from London in 23 days, during which time sixty oases of cholera, sixteen proving fatal, had occurred. Two or throe cases of cholera, all proving fa tal, have been reported at Brooklyn. Of course the people of Ne.v York and our large .cities are intensely alarmed, and it is not much wonder, for the dread scourge is cer tainly close upon them., and if not at once .checked, may claim thousands of victims in a very short time. A New* Light. —An Atmospheric Coal Oil ( Oaa Lamp has recently been invented which burns without smoke or smell, gives the light a six foot gas burner at a cost of dess than one cent an hour, will burn when turned •down to a taper light, ten hours for one cent, •and requires no chimney, as the wind will not blow it out. These .lamps are of six dif ferent sizes. They can be easily .carried in the hand, and will no doubt euporaode all •others. These lamps are now on exhibition in the eastern part of the State, and it is to -be hoped that wo will soon get a sight of them in this section. CC7We notice that sportsmen in different localities are agreeing among themselves not to shoot any game during the fall and win. ter. Its present scarcity leads them to this humany course. This is right. We hope our eportsmen in this locality will follow the example. Governor op Sooth Carolina. —At the recent election in South Carolina, lion. ■«Ta ifEs h. Ohr was elected Governor. About as Expensive as lhe Donbleday Court Martial. Some time ago wo noticed that Gen. Han cock had been appointed to tho command of the Middle Military Department , embracing a number of States, of which Pennsylvania was one—with headquarters at Baltimore— and of the appointment of Gen. Meade as comtnander-iu ohief of the Military Division of Pennsylvania, with headquarters at Phila delphia. It would be presumable that, with the assistance of these two able commanders, Governor Curtin would be able to hold the Old Keystone very level—especially in time of peace—but it seems not. In the North American, of a recent date, we notice an an nouncement ns follows—indicating that Gen. Humphreys is In command of the District of Pennsylvania: Major General A, A. Humphreys, com manding the District of Pennsylvania, an nounces the following officers as serving on his staff; “ Major and BrOvet 'Col. John S. Sohultze, U. S.

Indeed, without going below the mark, one may say, without fear of contra diction, that as it costs $400,000 to pay the executive, legislative and judiciary of Penn sylvania, so it costa $500,000 to pay the use less, unnecessary and offensive array of offi cers who apparently aro kept on duty to sue that vhe former do their duty, according to New England ideas. —Patriot <1: Union. Suicide at York.—We learn from the York Press of the 3d inst., that a man by the name of Charles Gustavos Ruehling, commit ted suicide in that borough, on Sunday morn ing, the 29th ult., at 10 o’clock, at the pub lic house of Mr. Fornaff, known ns the “Deutsche Gaslwirtshaft situated on the northwest corner of George and Water streets, by shooting himself with a pistol through the head. The ball passed through tho right and left temples, causing instant death. The de ceased, previous to committing the rash act, wrote tho following to the Coroner, with a lend pencil, on a small piece or atrip of paper, which was found lying along side of his dead body; 41 The verdict I wish yon to pass on my case, my most respectable Jury, is, shot him &3., in spiritual trouble, being in deep spiritual trouble, fer many months, from which he could not extricate himself, and, by which life became a burden to him. He sought relief in dissipating pleasures, but found it not. Temporal existence being an intolerable burden to him, he changed time for eternity. You will find at least $4O, in greenbacks, on my person, or in ray vaise, which must be used towards the incidental funeral expenses. “ To the Coroner and Jury. “ Chas. Gustavos Bhedlino.” Southern Lands.— A traveller at the south writes as follows.: " There will be an immense sale of real estate throughout the southern States during the next year or two. Every day I meet planters and. other prop erty owners who are proposing to dispose of a part or the whole of their real estate, their reasons being as various as tho intonations of a mocking bird. Soma are going to Bra zil, some to tho north, some to tho west, some to Mexioo, and many leaving the country to engage in other pursuits in tows and cities. Tho .planter who has worked for a score of years his large .cotton farm, with a hundred slaves, is wholly shipwrecked in an indus trial manner, and cannot conceive how to go to work."

The Pittsburg Commercial of a resent date, contained an account of the condition of the negro population of Washington city, which is calculated to harrow up the feelings of the most indifferent. This report comes ■from the Commercial's own correspondent good Abolition authority—and is therefore entitled to entire credit. After stating that the negro population of Washington is now thirty nine thousand, this correspondent re marks that the tboat fearful mortality exists amongst them, the Quartermaster’s depart ment during the hot weather having issued for them eighty coffins per week, three" fourths of the victims having died of neglect, boing covered with vermin even after death. This correspondent proceeds in this way : “ In one family of a Soldier who lost, his life in battle, five out of tert o'f His children have died since March, 1865, from the”above causes. In another, three out of seven chil dren of a soldier drafted in December last, have starved to death within the last three weeks. The mothers in both oases were prostrated with sickness, and all their. Slip plies were suddenly and entirely cut off. In the same square mothers and_ sons, wives and children of soldiers still in the Government service ns regular United States troops, are suffering for the necessaries of life, knowing nothing more of their men, they say, than that when the war broke up they didn’t come home. Near these lives another soldier's, wife, having four skeleton children, who, as sho says, were starved out in Frederick, Mary land. They have neither bod, table nor ■chairs, nor any household utCnaile, save a frying pan, out of which they all eat with their fingers. When I found her, site had obtained two days’ work, Uhd with her scan ty wages had tried to keep her Children alive,' but said she, “ God knows how often' we -a'ro ■hungry.” These oases might be multiplied to scores and hundreds in and around the National Capital. The Preedmon’s Bureau has no authority from Congress to aid these suffer ing people, and the assncciation has finally been compelled to publicly represent those ifac'.s, and appenl for the contribution-of the charitable in nil parts of the Union.” This terrible condition of throb-fourth's of .the negro population of Washington tells its own story ; it needs no comment. But what oau be said of the Abolition philanthropists throughout the country, who permit suoli vile destitution to exist among those whom' they are bound in honoi 1 and decency to support. Du they think that circulating petitions among those siokly and starving thousand's, m (aver of granting them the right of suff rage, is all that they owe these poor victims 7 England and America. The London Times is quite warlike in its tons on the subject of the demand made by the United States for indemnity for depreda tions on our commerce by rebal vessels built and fitted out in English ports. It says: We regret exceedingly that the govern ment of America has thought fit to bring for ward these claims, but we think there can not bo for a moment a doubt as to the an swer they shtuld receive. To yield to such demands would be to saddle neutrals in all future wars with new and undefined liabili ties, against which no prudence and no good intentions Can guarantee them If suoh de mands as these are to be the ordinary results of the conclusion of a war between two pow erful states, it will probably, be thought bet ter by those against whom they are sure to be made rather to take sides dl once, and ally themseloes to one parly ■or the other, than to place themselves in a situation so huinilia $46,095 84 ting as that which a neutral weald henceforth fill. We cannot, of course, tell in what spir it the Government of the United Slates are disposed to receive tbs final and deliberate refusal of the British government to enter tain in any shape the claims they put for ward. Wo cm only say, on our part, that wo are quite sure onr Government may de pend upon the support of the nation in main taining the position it has taken up. If the American government is determined to seek a quarrel with ns, as well this demand as any other. We cannot have one on which our right is clearer and our position more un questionable, if it is not, sa shall have sav ed ourselves, by the firm stand we are now making, from a creat degradation, and vindi cated for the benefit of all mankind that neu tral position so seldom occupied by Great Britain in the wars of the past, and so olten, wo trust, to bo hers in the wars of the fu ture. Sen v tor Wilson on the Public Debt.— Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, made a speech in Brooklyn! the other night, in which he aaiifthat the public debt must be “funded' at a small rats of interest and he “ believed that if the matter were wisely managed it could bo done at tho rale of three per cent.’ 7 This would bo the equivalent to a repudiation of one half the debt. Tho point thus made by Wilson is commended to the consideration of those Republicans who have charged the Democracy with intending to repudiate onr national obligations. How do Republican bond-holders like “ the picture drawn ” by one of their own party loaders? The Way it Goes.— Gen. Saxton, chief of the Freedman’s Bureau at Hilton Head, has just made a requisition on the treasury at Washington, for money to procure 35.000 outfits for the •• freedtnen ” in his depart ment. We suppose it is all right. Those who voted the abolition ticket voted to feed and ejothe and keep in idleness the negroes they had stolen from their masters in the it, South, and we hope they will get.ono.ugh of before they got the ones now on their hands shipped off. Don’t get out of heart tax payers, you must keep the niggers down South, if your families do want. Abolitionism has willed it so, and who is there “ disloyal” enough to say that Abolitionism ain’t a “great blessing?” Coot, but Characteristic.— t-Tbo New Haven Journal, (a Radical) speaking of Thanksgiving Day, says; It ia to be hoped that President Johnson will change the day fixed by him, apd ap point the day selected by the Governors, ps. there seems to bo nothing apparently to in terfere with suoh a change, and would prove highly acceptable to all New Englanders.** Are wo to infer from tbis.’that nothing that is not “ acceptable to all New England «re, not oven giving thanks to God, can bo sat down as right and proper—by the Loyal Leaguers.
