When he left the park, after. hours of strug gling with his own heart, an expres sion rested on his noble and handsome countenance that had never ,been ob served there before. An expression of mingled gloom and determination was depicted in his features. His eyes were luminous, not with their usual glow of enthusiasm, but with subdued and sul len flames. ".Descended into hell, and arisen again from the dead !" murmur ed he, with a derisive smile, as he walk ed on-through the streets, to the wretch ed little house in which Christiane Vulpius' drunken father and his family lived She came forward to greet him with an exclamation of joyous surprise, for it was the first time that Goethe had visited, in the light of day, the little house in which she lived. She threw herself into his extended arms, en twined hers around his neck, and kissed him. Citethe pressed her lovely head to his bosom, and then raised it gently be tween his hands. He gazed long and tenderly into her large blue eyes.— " Christiaue," murmured he, "Christ lane, will you be my wife?" A dark glow sullbed itself over her face and neck, and then a clear, ringing peal of laughter, like the joyous out burst of a feathered songster, escaped her coral its, displaying two rows of pearly teeth. "1, your wife, my good friend? Why do you jest with poor little Christiane?" "I am not, jesting, Christi:me. I ask you in all earnestness, will you be my wife? " "In all earnesitness?"- repeated she, the gaze of her large, soft eyes fastened with an expression of astonishment ou (kettle, who stood regarding her in tently, his countenance radiant with a tender smile. "Give me an answer, Uhristiane." "First, give me an answer, my good friend. Answer th , s question. Bayou love me? Am I still your pet, your singing bird, your little love, your fragrant violet?" " You still arc, and will ever remain my pet, my singing bird, my little love, and my violet." "Then let me remain what I am, my dear sir. lam but a poor little girl,and not worthy to be the wife of a gentle man of high rank ; I would cut but a poor figure at your side, as the wife of the mighty privy councillor, and you might even suppose I had only accepted your love because I had seen the altar and this magnificence In the back ground." "I could not think so, my darling; I know you love me." "Then I wish you to understand, good sir, that I must remain as I am, for you are pleased with me as I am. Let me still remain your violet, and blossom in obscurity, observed by no one but you, my good friend and master. I will serve you, I will be your maid-servant, and will work, and sew, and cook for you. For this lam suited ; but I can not become a noble lady, worthy to bear your celebrated name. If I were your wife, you would often have cause to blush for me; if I remain your love, I can, perhaps, amuse you by my little drolleries, and you would have no cause to be ashamed of the ignorant girl who craved nothing .acept to be near you, and to have you smile on her some times." "Christiane, you shall ever be near me; I will always smile on you!" pro tested (kettle, deeply moved. "AlwayS near you!" repeated Chris tiane, in joyous, exulting tones. "Oh, do let me be with you, good sir! Let me be your servant—your housekeeper. I will serve and obey you, I will honor "You as my master, and I will love you as my dearest friend!" "And I," said Cleethe, laying his hand on her golden hair, " I swear, by the Eternal Spirit of Love and of Na• ture, that I will love you, and that your happiness shall be the chief end of my life. I swear that I will honor you as my wife, protect and cherish you as my child, and be to you a husband and father until death." He stooped and kissed her shining hair and fair brow, and gazed tenderly into her lustrous eyes.. " And now, my pet, get ready and come with me!" "To go where? You cannot intend to with the through the public streets in the broad light of day ?" " Through the public streets, and in the broad light of day, at your side!" "But that will not do," said she in dismay. "It would not be proper for a noble, celebrated gentleman to be seen in public with a poor, humble creature like myself. What would the world say ?" Lot the world say what it will ! Come, my violet, I will transplant you to my garden, and there you shall blos, som in the future." She no longer resisted, but threw her shawl over her shoulders, covered her golden tresses with the hat adorned with roses of her own manufacture, stepped with Gmthe from beneath the roof of her father's wretched house, and walked at his side through the streets to the stately mansion on Market Square, henceforth destined to be her home. Goethe conducted her up the broad stairway, through the ante-chamber, and into his reception-room. Both were silent, but the countenanees of both were radiant with happiness. With a gentle band herelieved her of her shawl and hat, pressed her to his bosom, and then, with upturned eyes, he cried, in loud and impressive tones: • " Often have I erred, and always found the path again, but never found myself happier; now in this maiden lies my happiness. If this, too, is an error, oh spare me the knowledge, ye gods, and let me only discover it be yond the graves". Gen. Washington's Last Tote The father of his country was con scientious in the discharge of every duty as a citizen, and never failed to vote. The last occasion 'of his doing so was in the spring of 1799,. In the town of Alexandria. He died on the 11th of December following. The Court House of Fairfax county was then over the old Market House, and immediately front ing Gadby's tavern. The entrance into it was by a might flight of crazy steps on the outside, and while the election was progressing—several thoutiand be• ing assembled around the polls—Wash ington drove up in his old and well known ~family, carriage. The crowd spontaneously gave way, andicade a lane for him, to pass through as he, ap proachedt the Court House steps. A gentleman who wae'standing at Gadby's door , smw eightorten good-looking men .

Very gracefully returning tbeir salutation, the Register of the Polls said, " Well, General, how do you vote?" (It was then by viva voce.)

Many have been the marriages of royal and illustrious personages in this country of late years; Princes and Princesses, on enterifig the nuptial state, have always attracted considerable at tention at tbeX bridal ceremony, and great has beef. Ihe disappointment to those who have' fairly weighed the chances of being present, have at last discovered that there was no hope of their gaining admittance to the church, or obtaining even a passing glimpse of the object of their solicitude. But what result could be expected when it was announced, not that a royal son or a royal daughter, 'hut that one of the "Queens of song" was about to enter the matrimonial state? The freedom of entree into the Church was immedi ately calculated upon, and it no sooner became known, after the proclamation of the banns in Paris, where and when the distinguished popular favorite was to play, in real life, a part she had so often assumed on the lyric scene, than hundreds of expectant people arranged their plans for gratifying their curiosity on the interesting occasion. Accord , ingly, at a very early hour yesterday morning the Roman Catholic Church in the Clapham Park road ( where it was understood the wedding was to take place) was literally thronged with eager spectators, the great majority of whom were ladies, who were quite content te endure an ample share of inconvenience rather than lose the opportunity of witneFsing a scene the leading char acter in which nad so often before ex cited their admiration and enthusiasm ; and it may well be imagined that when the time arrived (11 o'clock) for the bridal party to enter the sacred build ing, the approaches to it were almost impassable, and it was with considera ble difficulty the police contrived to make way for the carriages containing the favored few who had come by in vitation. „Hence the anxiety of the eager gazers in the church was rapidly giving place to impatience, and the cry of "There she is! " was often repeated when the only ground for it was that the wish (as usual at public ceremonies, when the advent of a great personage is expected) was farther to the thought. At length, however, the centre aisle was comparatively clear, and the wed ding party entered, Mlle. Patti (who was accompanied by her father, Signor Salvatori Patti) toeing inamediateljf rec- Mnized, and her future husband, the Marquis De Caux. Mlle. Patti at once placed herself before the altar and knelt upon the prie (lieu, her betrothed doing the same; and at this moment the lan guage of admiration, as regarded the lady, was so exhaustive that every ap propriate epithet which could properly be used in reference to one in her posi tion was audibly applied to her. Among the invited guests were Mine. La Duchesse De Valmy, stepmother of the bridegroom, the French Ambas slider, (the Prince De La Tour D'Auvergue) the Duke of Manchester, M;Mure, Secretary to the French Em bassy; Mr. Woodford, Mr. Spalding, Mr. Strakosch, (brother in-law of the bride) Mr. F. (lye, (lessee of the Royal Italian Opera) Mme. Grisi and Signor Mario and their daughters. Mr. Costa, Mr. Carr, Signor Zaui, Mr. Frederick Greenwood, Signor and Mine. Tagliafi co, Mr. Augustus Harris, (acting man- , , ager of the Royal Italian Opera) to gether with a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who are among the most liberal subscribers to the Royal Italian Opera. The marriage ceremony, according to • the Roman Catholic custom, occupied a very short time, and being performed in Latin and in a suppressed tone, it is not to be supposed that the multitude of spectators were as much enlightened by what they heard as pleased with what they saw. Unlike the course adopted in the Protestant Church, both bride and bridegroom were provided with a ring, and each placed one on the finger of the other; and there was another part of the ceremony in which the Roman Catholic formula was found to be different from that of the Protest ant, viz., that when the bridegroom endowed the bride with all his worldly goods, the former handed to the latter pieces bf gold and silver, which at the same time received the blessing of the officiating priest. After the " imposi tion " of the rings the now wedded pair retired to the vestry, accompanied by the ministers, and four witnesses, in order that their names might be entered both in the civil and ecclesiastical reg• inters. The witnesses (all of whom had signed the marriage contract at the French Embassy on Monday last) were the Duke of Manchester and Mr. Costa ou behalf of the bride, and the French Ambassador and M. More on the part of the bridegroom. The entry of the names being completed, the party again appeared before the altar, when the or dinary low mass of the Roman Catholic Church was performed, including the nuptial benediction ; and those who ex pected a musical accompaniment were obliged to remain content with the al most inaudible tones of the celebrant, the Very Rev. Father Plunkett. It was observed that during this mass the bride followed the minister with her prayer-book before her, whereas the bridegroom listened attentively to the service without any such aid. It was a significant fact that, while the great majority of the spectators were fixing their eyes in idle curiosity upon the two objects of their interest, there were many young ladies outside the marriage circle who, with the help of their prayer-books, paid devout atten• tion to the sacred words, and were by no means occupied by any other con sideration. At the conclusion of the mass the bride and bridegroom with• drew from the altar and shook hands with many of their friends who stood in the aisle for the purpose of congratu lating them, the Marquis de Caux !Kiss ing Mme. Grist and her daughters, and bestowing a gracious smile upon other ladies who attracted her eye at this in teresting moment. As the party passed out of the church the joy-bells were rung, and the general desire to see the bride on her departure soon caused the building to be cleared. The Marquis is somewhat above the middle height, and has dark brown hair and monstache. His age, as entered in the register, is 42, and that of his accomplished bride 26. As to the costume of the bride, the lady has made it an easy task to des cribe it, for. her evident care was to avoid any attempt at unnecessary dis play, but to appear as simply attired as possible. With this view, therefOre, she wore a robe of white tulle, and her head was adorned by a wreath of orange blos soms, from which fell avail of rich Brus sels lace, descending almost to her feet, She looked extremely well and in most cheerful spirits, and there was sufficient self-confidence in her deportment, and withal a charming simplicity of maw ner, to show that the step she bad taken 'Was one which her own heart had dic tated.. Her bridesmaids were attired in White!muslin trimmed with blue satin; their.headdresses consisting of elegant ly-shaped bonnets to correspond, orna mentedwlththe same coloredribbon and surmounted with .a luxuriant display of forget-marnots. These young ladies were four In. number, and their names were Mile. Louisa Lauw, Miss. Marl, Harris, (daughter of Mr. A. Harris) and Mile. Zanzi. There were several other ladles who seemed to aspire to the honor, but as they were not actually within the "charmed circle," they need not be more particularly described. Conspicuous among the more distin guished portion of the company was Mme. Grisi, Whose appearance was re garded with much interest, and, dress ed as she was in-the perfection of taste, it must be confessed that it was difficult to believe that some time has,...now elapsed Since the nightly earned that applause - which is now accorded to one W,/:!oeti happiness She was present to celebrate. , The sordial greeting which Mme. Grist gave, both' before the char rlage and afterward, to the much-es teemed prima donna, who is among MIIMIEEMEIF=ME her worthiest successors, was a,noticea ble feature in the ceremonial. The Very Rev. F. Plunkett. wai'the eelebrant, assisted by the. Revs. F. F. Burke and Cleary. . : After the service the. nupual party returned to Pieuepoint House, Clap ham, the residence of Signor Patti, where a tent was erected in the grounds, and a dejeuner prepared therein for sixty guests. The tent was elegantly decorated under the direction of Mr. Harris, and the tables were ornamented with the flags of Italy, France, Spain, America, and England (the countries in which Mlle. Patti had gained her choicest laurels.) The health and hap piness of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by Mr. Gruneisen ; and the wedding party was brought to a termi nation under the brightest auspicee. It will be gratifying to those lovers of Italian song who fear that the Mlle. Patti of yesterday morning is about to retire from the profession she so bril liantly adorned, to learn that she will commence an engagement at Homburg on the 16th of August, and thatshe will perform during the next two seasons at the Royal Italian Opera. What has Passed for Money Many things have been used at differ• ent times as money ; cowrie shells in Africa, wampum, or beads made of clam shells by the American Indians, soap in Mexico. The Carthagenians used leather as money, probably bear ing some mark or stamp. Frederick 11., at tae siege of Milan, reviving this custom, issued stamp-leather as money. In 13:50, John the Good, King of France, who was taken prisoner by the celebra ted Black Prince and sent to England until ransomed, also issued leather mo• ney, having a small silver nail in the middle. Salt is the common money in Abyssinia, Codfishlin Iceland and New foundland. Living money, slaves and oxen, passed current in ancient Greece and among the Anglo-Saxons in pay ment of debts. Adam Smith says that in his day there was a village in Scot. land where it was not uncommon for workmen to carry nails instead of money to the baker's shop and the ale house. Marco Polo found in China money made of the bark of the mul berry tree, bearing the stamp of tie so vereign, which it was death to counter feit, being the earliest specimen df paper money. Tobacco was generally used as money in Virginia up to 1660, 57 years after the foundation of that colony, and men bought wives for such a weight of tobacco ; while in Canada the beaverskin, being the great staple, was in like manner made a unit, and all transactions were esti mated in beaver. In 1864 the Legisla ture of Massachusetts enacted that wheat should be received in payment of all debts, and the Convention iu France, during the Revolution, on tLe proposi tion of Jean Bon Saint Andre, long dis cussed the propriety of adopting wheat as money, as the measure of value of all things. Platina was coined in Russia from IS2B to 184:5. But the metals best adapted and most generally used as coin are copper, nickel, silver and gold, the two first being now used for coins of small value, to make change, the two latter, commonly designated "the precious metals," measures of value and legal tenders. On the continent of Europe a composition of silver and copper, called bullion, has long been used for small coins, which are made current at a much higher value than that of the metals they contain. In China Sycee silver is the principal currency, and is merely ingot silver of a uniform fine ness, paid and received by weight. Spanish dollars also circulate there, but only after they have been stamped as proof that they are of the stand ard fineness. As Asia Minor pro duced gold, its earliest coinage was of that metal. Italy and Sicily possessing copper, bronze was first coined there. Herodotus says the Lydians were the first people known to have coined gold and silver. They had gold coins at the close of the ninth century 13. C., Greece Proper only at the close of the eighth century B. C. Servius Tullius, King of Rome, made the pound weight of cop per current money. The Romans first coined silver 281 B. C., and gold 207 B. C. Some nations, althoug they worked the metals with skill, seem never to have coined money, and such was the case with the Irish, of whom no coins are known prior to the Englisn invasion in the twelfth century. nor Carlotta—l Sad Picture From La Memorial Diplomatique, July 23. There is unfortunately too much rea son to fear that the recovery of the un happy princess will be neither so speedy nor so complete as was inferred from the improvement which took place on the removal of her majesty from miramar to Lacken. Withdrawn from the rigor ous isolation to which she was ordered by the medical men at Miramar, and baiting returned to scenes dear to the recollections of her youth and to the bosom of the royal family of Belgium, where she is surrounded with the most affectionate attentions, the dejected spirits of the Empress Charlotte appear ed to revive, and she seemed by degrees to assume her former serenity. Her majesty beguiled her leisure with painting, and by keeping up a corres pondence with the members of the' Imperial family of Austra, and other friends, in walking in the beautiful park of Laeken, or by carriage exercise in the environs of the palace. She took her meals regularly in company with the King and Queen of the Belgians; in short, with the exception of certain little restraints which were still necessary, she appeared to be in a fair way of perfect recovery. Suddenly, in the beginning of June, on the approach of the anniversary of the tragedy of Queretaro, sysptoms of in ternal agitation manifested themselves to such a degree as to occasion appre hensions of a fresh attack of delirium, which soon developed itself. The Empress is now a prey to the most 1 extraordinary excitement, aggravated by the excessive heat and the want of sleep, to which her majesty is subject. As at Miramar she has an invincible aversion to every description of food, although she herself orders every morn ing what she would like to have at her meals. She refuses to sit at the table, and will not taste anything unless it is offered to her by Queen Marie Henrlette, her sister in law, who takes a seat by her side, and feeds her like a child. At bedtime it often happensthat the Queen is obliged to use her personal influence to prevail upon the Empress to retire to rest. It is altogether incorrect to state, as some journals have done, that the Empress Charlotte seeks an opportuni ty of escaping from the palace of Daek en, to return to Miramar. On the con trary, notwithstanding the disordered state of tier mind, she is able to feel the value of the care which is taken of her by the King and Queen of the Belgians, who watch over her with the most tender solicitude, and she fears nothing so much as the possibility of her departure for Miramar. The apprehension, indeed, of such acontingency constantly afflicts her, and in a great degree occasions her want of sleep. In physical health the Empress continues to be as well as pos sible and her medical advisers are of opinion that the only efficient remedy for the present attack is by all available means to spare her majesty every kind of emotion. This will explain why all other persons excepting the members of the royal family are prohibited from seeing her, and why she is allowed to receive no correspondence of a nature to make any impression upon her mind, which imperatively demands the most perfect repose. Skeleton Incas and Their Wiles. There is a fine museum in Lima, and one can spend a day very pleasantly among its relics and curiosities. Peru was formerly celebrated for its mineral productions, and the assortment of these, the old coins and species of money, are really a.great curiosity. Here, too, are all the portraits of all the viceroys and Incas, from the year 1780 up to the present. And huddled around the rooms, some in large glass cases, and some sit ting On a small stand or table only, are dozens of skeletons of the old incas, who burled themselves alive at the coming of the Spaniards, long years ago, as they were foolish enough to believe that after the Spaniards had goneaway they would come froth the ground as fresh as a toad out of a hole where he has slept for twenty . years.' Nearly every one of them is in a sitting posture, his head between his hands, and the knees drawn up under, the chin, and the expression on the skeleton face is one of horror, strangulation, smothering and despair all together. More horrible or ghastly sights one can not imagine.

It is the growth of centuries and the steady' accomPaniment of civilization. The reader of the delicately tinted " last poem" or 'the morning newspaper, would doubtless be astonished could he know the his tory of the particles of linen and cotton which compose the page before him. Every one knows that paper is made of rags, but it is not every one who reflects, when he takes up a book or paper, that he may be making a new use of his own old clothes, or possibly of the clothes of a Hungarian soldier or Bedouin Arab. The chief importation of rags In this country is from the Mediterranean ports. The supply from Trieste and Leghorn was for a long time of the greatest value, especially what was known as Hungarian rags, because con sisting very largely of linen. Of late years, the introduction of cotton wearing apparel has resulted in a deterioration of the quality of Mediterranean stock, and the manufacturers are now very largely supplied by the American pro• duct. A story was some time since afloat in the newspapers, to the effect that an importation of mummy rags from Egypt had been made, and that paper of good quality was produced from them. The story, however, had only this founO.a tion, that a quantity of rags had been received from Alexandria, but none of them had been acquainted with the bodies of Egyptians before the times of Mohammed AIL The staple in the rags of mummies is dead, and the ordinary cutting and beating process of the paper mills would reduce them to an impalpa ble powder, without any tenacity of fibre. • The business of gathering old rags and old paper for manufacturers occu pies a large number of hands in all parts of the country. Not long since, among a quantity of this mixed stock which was sent to a New England paper mill, were found some old, rare and valuable bdoks, one of which was a specimen of the splendid typography of Mentelius, the contemporary and co-workman of Guttenberg. At another time, in a similar package, was found a large col lection of the private correspondence of one of the most eminent Americans of a former generation. The paper mills are remorseless when such articles fall into their hands, and it is not to be doubted that immense numbers of val uable manuscripts and autographs have thus gone to the white tomb of the vats,. —Boston Commercial Bulletin. Advantages of Crying A French physician is out in a long dissertation on the advantages of groan ing and crying in general, and especi ally during surgical operations. He con tends that groaning and crying are two grand operations by which Nature allays anguish ; that those patients who give way to their natural feelings more speedily recover from accidents and op erations than those who suppose it un worthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either to groan or to cry. He tells of a man who reduced his pulse from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty in the course of a few hours, by giving full vent to his emotions. If peo ple are at all unhappy about anything, let them go in their rooms and comfort themselves with a loud boohoo; and they will feel a hundred per cent. bet ter afterward. In accordance with the above, the crying of children should not be too greatly discouraged. If it is systemati cally repressed the result may be St. Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, or some other disease of the nervous system. What is natural is nearly always useful ; and nothing can be more natural than ,the crying of children when anything occurs to give them either physical or mental pain. Probably most persons have experi enced the effect of tears in relieving great sorrow. It is even curious how the feelings are allayed by the free in dulgence in groans and sighs. Then let parents and friends show more indul gence to noisy bursts of grief—on the part of children as well as of older per sons—and regard the eyesand the mouth as safety-valves through which Nature discharges her surplus steam. Report on the Cattle Disease In the West The Packers' Association of Chicago ap pointed a committee to investigate the sub ject of the terrible disease among cattle in Illinois and adjoining districts, and Pro fessors Blaghly and Garngeo, the latter gentleman being the President of the Al bert Veterinary College of London, went down into the infected districts for the pur pose. The following extract from the re port of Professor Gamgee, gives his account of the result of his investigations: In the first place the malady follows the track of Texas cattle, and is not found be yond. The Texas cattle aro themselves healthy, and we have failed yet to see a dis eased one. Native cattle do not communi cate the disease to other native cattle, and suckling calves continue to suckle their sick mothers without contracting the dis ease. In one case a call suckled its dam till the latter died ; it was then placed with a cow that also died; and lastly, with a third one that succumbed, too, without in dicating the slightest symptoms of ill health. Secondly, I consider that there is no specific animal poison causing the spread of the disease. It is not a malady belonging to the class of true plagues or epizootics ; it has a local origin, from cattle grazing on certain lands in Texas, and if you took cattle south and grazed them where the Texan steers enjoy perfect heulth, from be ing acclimatized and accustomed topoculiar pastures, you will find the cattle of the North dying in the South as they are doing at present in the State of Illinois. It is not an uncommon circumstance for animals which are themselves healthy being the carriers ofdisease—p roducing el emen ts. though there is something virulent dis charged by the Texan herds, and discharged only during the summer months. This malady has been classed in Europe, by some authem_smong the forms of an thrax or carbuncular fevers, which origin ate spontaneously where there is sufficient heat on ill-drained, retentive soils, and widely over the marsh lands of Central, Southern and Eastern Europe. But, gentlemen, it is a consolation to know that there is not the slightest danger of any evil arising from the drinking of the milk of the sick cows, and I should have no scruples in eating the flesh. They are not poisoned by any specific virus calculated to do injury - to men or animals, and in laying before you a theory of the origin of this disease, I am strengthened by feats which I have gleaned during investigations of similar disorders in Europe. About spring time and early summer, in all probability. the Texas cattle eat, as our own do, in some parts of Scotland, the young succulent shoots of peculiar trees, highly charged with astringent principles. On unbroken ground, highly charged with moisture and adjoining woodlands, there are, as the hot weather sets in marry things sprouting which animals will not touch later in the season; and in the n.otts of 'Texas there is the live oak which grows in tae Gulf States, where, indeed, cattle are reared which ave been known in times past to disseminate this disorder, for the cattle of Florida are as dangerous north of a certain line as the steers of Texas. From this peculiar feed, therefore, the animals get their systema impregnated with mate rials which do not destroy. the stock accus tomed to a special living ins given latitude, but which, being thrown off in the urine and the excrement, induce the "black water" 'or peculiar forin of ' enzootio has maturia" which is now killing the cattle of this and adjoining States. • Certain, it is that Texas cattle imported here during the winter; from the 15th of Sep tember to'the 15th of' April, induce no dis ease; and while.it is undoubtedly safe to have open season for the Texan cattle traffic, it is probable that in accordance with my suggestions we shall have a ready means of purifying stock on the frontlg; by keeping them for a while on a speciallgood, admin istering medicines, and carefully disinfect ing all the excreta they deposit. On this, however, wo need further investigation. It is, however, satisfactory, to know that we have to deal with a tolerably simple,though fatal disease, the nature of which can easily be unravelled, and'which certainly, in ac cordance with my observations, does not depend upon any specific animal poison. The civil service of our Governnient un der Radical rule costs $10,000,000 .per year more than that of England. - The, cost of our War Departulent, as stated by .

Biaii de livered before . the State Democratic Con vention and the citizens of the -town, in ratification meeting assembled, the follow ing speech upon national topics : • SPEECH OF OEN:BLAIR AT LEAVENWOBTA Fellow Citizens rf Karthas :—I congratu late myself on my good fortune in having to address so large and enthuslastie an au dience as I now - behold. I do not assume to myself that this is a personal compli ment to me. lam too welt aware that, on the contrary, your presence here to-night, is rather due to your devotion to the great cause in which we small engaged,- and in that sense I accept it as a greater compli ment than if It was a mere personal ovs ton. The cause- to which we are devoted, and of which I am one of your representa tives, is one worthy of your most profound devotion. It is a cause in which the en thusiasm which I see here to-night, so far as I have observed, has prevailed through out the country. It is the cause of popular rights, the cause of civil government, the cause of constitutional liberty. It Is the cause the worthiest of all for which man has arrayed himself in times past, and it will become you—it will become. all of ttsJ-to evince our devotion to-that cause which has showered upon the nation Be- many blessings since its foundation. This cause is in peril; the cause has received from the party In power the most violent shock; it has been undermined, and is almost on the threshhold of being overthrown.— But the people of the country are rally ing to defend this glorious cause—the holi est and best in the world—and in their might I confide; in their strength I am willing to abide. They alone can rescue this nation from the impending peril, and it is for you, and for all citizens of this country who love democratic institutions; to come up us one man, and - sustain the best and holiest cause in the world. [Ap plause.] Ido not speak merely empty rhetoric on this subject. I could advert, and I will advert, to the particular transac tions by which this cause has been brought into peril. I call your attention to the ag gressions which have been made by the Radical party, calling themselves Republi cans, upon the fundamental principles of our Government, those great, under-lying principles on which all civil liberty depends. They have sought by various measures, which the Constitution has prohibited, to entrench themselves in power in this Gov ernment. They—losing the confidence of their own race—losing the confidence of the white people, have sought to give the power in a portion of the States of this Union to another element—the black race—hoping, alter losing the confidence of the white race, to maintain and perpetuate their supremacy by giving political power in ten States of this Union to the black race. [Applause, and cries of " Shame! Shame !"] Now, my fellow-citizens, I take the broad ground that the white race is the only race in the world that has shown itself capable of maintaining free institutions and a free government; [applause] that, nowhere, in any country or at any time, have the black people shOwn themselves capable of estab lishing or maintaining a constitutional gov ernment, or any other kind of government. [Prolonged cheers.] Yet the people of the Southern States have been disfranchised, and the ignorant blacks—the same people that the Republican party has declared were imbruted by slavery, whom we all know to be ignorant, whom we all know to be semi barbarous, whom we all know have never been capable of cre ating, establishing, or maintaining a free government—are made to predominate in all those States. Not only are they made to predominate in the Southern States, but the three or four millions of semi-barbar ous blacks have the entire control of those States, and send twenty Senators to the United States Senate, while the four mil- Roos of white people of New York send but two Senators. It would take New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis souri, and enough of the other great States of the Union put together, containing twenty millions of white people, to counter balance the three or four mdlion blacks in the South. So that the negroes are not only put above the white people of the South, but above the white people of the North also; and three or four millions of blacks are made equal in the Senate of the United States to more than twenty millions of the free white peopleof the North. [Cheers, and cries of "Shame ! '] Fellow-citizens, we all very well know that this is a political trick to keep what is known as the Radical party in power. They don't believe in it themselves. They voted it down in the State of Kansas by 10,000 majority. But notwithstanding the people have voted down negro suffrage in the State, your two Senator., and Representatives still insist upon sustaining the Stale governments erected on the negro vote of the South. You don't understand the danger in which our institutions are from the ignorant blacks and vagabond carpet-baggers of the South. [Prolonged applause, and cries of " Yes, we do ; and we'll save the country yet"] The people haveneverassented to theseso-called reconstruction acts. In the election of 1866 so far from presenting that issue, they dodged it —they presented an entirelydifferent issue. The issue they submitted then was what is known as the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which conceded to all the States the right to regulate suffrage for themselves. That was the issue upon which the last Congressional election was held. After they bad attained power by admitting the doctrines on which the Democratic party had always stood, they went to work to disfranchise the white people of the South and enfranchise the blacks, denying to the States the rights which were contained in the fourteenth amendment. As soon as they showed their bands the elections of 1867 declared against them. In New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, Oregon, Connecticut, and in enough States to carry the election, the people decided against them. But toe Senators find Representatives from those States refused to obey the will of the people. They put it at defiance, and went on with their reconstruction ; and now declare they have fixed it, and that ills not in the power of the people to undo what they have done. And because in a letter I wrote pending the nominations in New York I took the ground that the will of the people must be executed, they proclaimed me a " revolu• tionist," anxious to reinstate the re bellion. The idea that 'any one should under take to undo what has been done by this great Congress—this Rump, this fragmentary Congress—[cheers] —who got into power by deceiving the peo ple on false issues, is monstrous in their virtuous eyes. After their action has been condemned by 10,000 in Kansas, by 50,000 in New York, by as meny in Ohio, by 30,000 in Michigan, and by overwhelming major ities of the people wherever there has been an expression of their will, it is revolution to favor the execution of the will of the pen pie—Frank Blair is a "revolutionist," and wants to inaugurate another rebellion ! (Cheers and laughter.] I say the Southern States were never out of the Union • that is the doctrine we held to and fought for for four years ; but now the Radical party has taken the exact position that Jeff. Davis and other leaders of secession took at the commencement of the war [Applause, and cries of "That's so."] I tell you I have no animosity toward the negroes; and those who are pretending to be their friends are their worst enimies. Every one knows from my history, that when the negroes were in slavery I was an advocate for their emanicipation. I advocated it at the worst times and in the worst places. I advocated it when the present pale faced Radicals of Missouri did not dare to lift up their heads. [Prolonged cheers.] And now I say that unless the negroes submit to the intelligent guidance of the powerful white race, - their fate will be that of the Indians— they will be exterminated. The negroes can only be happy and prosperous as long intelligence as they are guided by the of the country, and make it subordinate to the ignorance of the country, whenever it is sought to subordinate the white race of the country to the black barbarism of the ne gro, the prosperity of the country is at an end. [Applause and cries of "That's so."] But 'I come back to the proposition with which I started, that the Radical party has done these things in defiance of the will of the people. Have the people ever endorsed negro suffrage? ["Never." Did you not condemn it in this State? Was it not con demned in all the States of the Union at the last election ? mid shall the Radical party persist in pressing it upon 'the people, that it shall -be the rule? And when, as I have already stated, I said in New York, that if the Democratic party should carry these elections; if the' people should Mecca Democratic President, this pretended reconstruction : should be tindone ; and if these miserable carpet baggers in the Senate were in the way of its being done, the. people will find a way to execute their will ; those miserable creatures who have undertaken to forestall the pop ular will say that any one who undertakes to execute the will of the peopleis arevolu tionist. , [Applause.] Look at the attitude of these men. Who are the revolutionists? Who has pat at defiance the popular will? ' Who.-has taken away -the powers of the Executive as granted to him by the Con stitution? Who has curtailed the jurisdic tion of the Supreme Court of the United States? Who has done all this?. Why, the Radical party. [Cheers and' cries of "That's so."

I, shall never allow myself to ispeak of him otherwise than with the greatest , respect. • I don't think we gain any advantage by misrepresenting him or his service'. A Voice. We have rot heard from him yet. r.•, General Blair. No, and you are not likely to hear from him [Applause.l But as he is a candidate for the highest position In the world he Is subject to a falr criticism on his conduct and language. I call your -at terition to the report made by General Grant -when sent by President -Johnson to the „South to investigate the condition of af fairs there. He then stated that the people of the South had to the terms im posed-upon them by the Government, and that they were fitted to return to the rights of citizens in the Union. Since that time he has seen proper tochange his attitude on this question. I do not impugn his motives, but we are all at liberty to look at the fact's. When the Radicalswere keeping the States out, he recommended their admission I know very well, from General G'rant's former position that he has no affinity for the negro. Neither has General Sherman, nor General Sheridan. They have no hatred toward the people of the South. Look at the terms General Sherman gave John ston at the surrender in North Carolina. It all goes to show that these military lead ers, who are all now. arrayed against the Democracy, in their hearts believe in the doctrines of the Democratic party. They did then, and they do now. But I will tell you the secret—what has brought them to the Radical party. It is there military in stinct, which tells them that the Radical party is in favor of a despotism in this country, and without having any affinity for the negro, or hatred for the white people of the South, they felt that the Radicals were in favor of erecting a despotism, and they know full well that that would give additional consequence to military men. That is the secret of these men arraying themselves against Democracy, against con stitutional liberty, and against the civil in stitutions of our country. [Continued ap plause.] We bave honored these men as no nation ever honored its heroes before. We have given them the loftiest positions; but they are not content; they would make themselves dictators over all the country. And now Is the time for you to show your selves as ready and capable of prostrating these would-be-dictators as you were in prostrating the rebellion. ['We are ready.'] I know you are ready. I know that while you cherish the services they performed for the Government, you are not inclined to surrender your own birthrights—tho birth right of a citizen and freeman. [Applause.] A voice. ' What about the copperheads 7' General Blair. I think these Radicals have made the name "copperhead" respec table, by their great treason against the Government. I think that whatever of prejudice may have existed against those who were called "copperheads" during the war because of their sympathy for a peo ple who, however wrong, have made them selves memorable for all time, will have been forgotten, and their sins will have been forgiven, when the Radicals who have undertaken to destroy the liberties of th,. whole people, to subvert our institutions, to put down the great principles upon which civil liberty alone can be sustained, who sought to perpetuate their power by appealiug to the ignorance of a degraded race of beings, will be held up as examples for continual execration. [Applause.] The Radical party will be overthrown. The people are in no temper to submit to to the domination of a party who seek to main tain themselves by calling to their aid this ignorant and barbarous race of men. [Applause.] I way be accused of appealing to your prejudices. Ido not appeal to your prejudices, I appeal to history. I appeal to that which ought to guide every statesman. It is impossible to make a nation prosper ous by giving the reins of power into the hands of a race of people who are incapable of guiding any nation. You have repudia ted that doctrine. Yes, and will do it again —and you ought to do it forever. [Ap plause.] A man is unworthy himself, ifhe is classed as a white man who will put the black man over his own race; and no one but a demagogue would do it. If the Radi cals felt secure in, their position they would be content to appeal to their own race of people for support; to the people who cre ated this Government, who maintained it, and carried it forward to unexampled prosperity. They would be content to appeal to the intelligence of the white race. But no, they know they have forfeited the confidencei of the white race. They are conspiring against the most cherished institutions of our country. They are giving the franchise to that ignorant race whom they know to be incapable, and at the same time are disfranchising the in telligent white people of the country, and their doom is sealed. [Applause.] But fellow-citizens, there are others here from whom it is your right to bear. [Cries of "Go on," 'go on.' There are gentlemen here who have been but recently nominated for high positions in your State—gentlemen who I believe will - be elected by the people of the State—and they have a right to be heard, and you have a right to expect that I will give way for them. Having claimed • our attention for the length of time I have, now surrender it to men from your own State, after 'thanking you for your very kind attention to me. [Three rousing cheers were given for General F. P. Blair, Jr.,• the next Vice President, upon his retiring.] Counterfeit Fractional Currency The public will remember the flood of counterfeit 25 and 59 cent stamps that are circulated all over the country, especially in the early part of the war. The first is sue of fractional currency was preyed upon and suffered extensive dilution. The coun terfeiters directed their principal efforts to the imitation of the 50 cent stamp, as the others were less profitable game. It is hardly to be supposed that any expert en graver experienced much difficulty in ta king a fac simile of the wretched, looking specimens of small change with which the country was afflicted during the greater part of the war. The color was the only guide to detection, but that was oftentimes close enough t o give a fifty cent bogus eta rn p an unimpeachable passport from one end of the country to the other. In the specimen book we find seven counterfeits on the fifty cent postal curren cy—the first that was Issued. Some of them saw active service in their day, and could probably tell interesting tales of their tray el ; brit all of them look sadly blurred, as though in their perlgrinations the mask of innocence had worn off and exposed their guilty character. There are four of the twenty-five cent. four of the ten, and three of the five c'nt postal currency. The latter are execrable, and could only have been got up in a Joh printing office. The others are very infe rior engravings, but when well worn and steeped In a solution of lager beer and man ter dust, might have passed through a thou .sand hands without suspicion. Next come nine fifty cent counterfeit stamps of the second issue containing but ono likeness of Washington in the centre of an oval gold frame. The face of the note is gray and the back carmine. Eight of these are•very imperfect, and obtained no circu lation;u but the other, which was executed by J. O. Cousden, is an excellent Imitation, and deceived a good many, but the plates and the engraver were finally captured. The third issue suffered severely in one particular counterfeit of the fifty cent de •nomination. There are ten specimens in the book, but they are all, with one excep tion, badly executed. 'The excepted one, however, Wirs'eufficient to do all the mis chief of a dozen others. The work, strange •to . say, is' much better,done than in the genuine. A soft and beautiful finish char acterizes the engraving, and the lettering is in every way' unexceptionable.= l -Peteraon'a Detector... . Allegheny Cential Club—A Young and . .

Veto'or The Elletioli • . • rensaien fn me Legislature- .AfoinoTnnyix'; Atiguat - 11. 1 —A, flatter was causei.in the Legislature to-day by Gov, ernai Smith sending in tenni Senate, where itoriginated,'n Veto of the. bill authorizing the Legislature , to castthe electoral vote or the State. GoVernor Sruith.says: `After most mature reflection, Tam foreed to the conclusion that' the bill is wrong in principle, nod that it would ben dangerous precedent in a Republican government. As my judgment does not approve the bill, it is my constitutional.duty, to return it to the Senate with my objections. It'cannot but be regarded as remarkable that the first Republl an Legislature con vened in Alabama shall, iii the face of the principles of its orghnization, which every Republican professes to hold dear, deny not only to the colored, but to the white man, the right by his vote to indicate his choice for a President and Vice President of the United States, and to take the matter in its own hands. What excuse can there be for it? Is it mere party expediency Y It so, either it is an abandonmen of principles or an acknowledgment that the matter all out of which the Republican party is corn posed cannot be trusted; in other words, it is, to say that the colored men will not do to be trusted. This action of the General Assembly will be regarded as still more remarkable when considered In connection with what seems to have been the alttiost unanimous opin ion of the leading members of the Repub lican party of .Alabama. It was believed by most of them, and s i p represented at Washington, that a large majority of the voting population of the State were in favor of the new Constitution. This wa, as much as to say that the Republican party was in a majority in the State, for it is well known that none but Republicans favored the Constitution, and even some of them opposed to it. If the party is as strong as it has been supposed to be, then the neces sity of party expediency does not exist, but if it did exist it would not be justified in resorting to it. As much as 1 desire the election of Grant and Colfax, I am unwil ling to become a party in behalf of that de sirable result to assume that which practi cally denies the very principles for which these standard-bearers stand pledged before the country. The message created a warm discussion and caused much bitterness. Mr. Coon and other extreme Radicals were violent in their expressions about the Governor. Mr. Coon strongly urged the defeat of the veto, and said the object of the men who wore sustaining the Governor in this matter was to get up a war. If the war must come, let it come. He was ready for it, and ninety thousand freemen of Alabama would give the opposition a belly full of war before it was over. He would stand by the Republican party of Alabama in the war, and victory would perch on its ban ners. Mr. Jones replied to Coon, and told him that his remarks were revolutionary, but that if he wanted war be could bare war, and the war would last until none of his sort desecrated the soil of Alabama. lie said that he was a Republican ; but when war is talked about, and Alabamians are to be slaughtered, he would be found on the aide of his own people—those in this bright and sunny, but oppressed land—to whom this country and the government of it justly belongs. He said he could raise a squad ron of town boys, and whip out anything the gentleman from lowa could bring against him. He could marshal twenty thousand colored men to follow his banner in defense of Alabama and Alabamians. The colored men of intelligence knew that carpet-baggers were not their trlends, and that a squatter would desert them in the hour of peril and need. The debate was conducted altogether by the Republicans, there being but one Demo crat in the Senat,. Without action, the Senate adjourned to SP. S. It is not likely that the bill can become a law over the Governor's veto. The Legislature will probably adjourn to-morrow. The consideration of the• Governor's veto message was postponed until to morrow. A great many members have already left the city. The following card from Mr. Jones, Rad ical, will appear in the morning papers. Mr. Jones and Mr. Coon are both Radical MONTOO3IERY, Aug. 11, 1868. Having beau denied tho privilege of ro panting in the Senate Air. Coon's incendiary remarks in the Governor's office, on the morning of August it, I hereby publish said remarks, to the beet of my recollection. He said to the Governor that he would not leave here until a measure was adopted for the protection of those whom he calls loyal men ; that if any Union man's blood was spilled in Dallas County, he would "lay the houses of Dallas County and the City of Selma in ashes." Current of Political Kentiment and the Presidential Election in the South. An extraordinary and quite unexpected revolution is taking place in the political prospects of parties in the South. The radical leaders spread themselves over the Southern States, after reconstructing those States on the negro basis, to secure the votes of the new-born citizens of African descent. The first orators in Congress, both Senators and Representatives, left their seats and homes to stump the South and to control the negro vote. A vast exodus of radical carpet- baggers left the North, and princi• pally the Eastern States, spreading them selves over the whole South like locusts, to secure the sunrages of the blacks, as well as the offices and the property of the whites. Iu fact, the Northern Radicals had it pretty much all their own way. The South was their political elysium. They bad no doubt about controlling the votes of the uegroes, not only for their own elevation, but in the Presidential election also. All the trouble between Congress and the President arose from the struggle to gain the negro vote as a balance of political power, and the Re construction acts of Congress were framed expressly for this purpose. In truth, noth ing was left undone that could be done by all the means that an all-powerfnl party could use, and scarcely a Radical in or out of Congress had any doubt of the result. But what do we see now? Precisely what the Herald said long ago and all through would be the case—that in the end the ne groes would go with their masters and the Democrats. From every quarter of the Southern States the fact conies to us that this Is the case. A most thorough reaction is taking place. The press and almost all the Correspondence from the South show this. Our private and most reliable corres pondents inform us that "every one of the ex-rebel States will be carried by the Democrats; that the negroes are leaving the radical party by hundreds; that they are organizing colored conservative clubs, and that they are attending democratic bar becues by thousands." Never was there a more striking example of the old saying that the best laid plans may be defeated. And why are the negro. s abandoning the radicals and going with their old masters and the democrats? Because they believe their Interests lie that way, and because the Southern whites know.bow to treat and control them better than the Northerners. In their brief experience with Northern ad venturers—properly called carpet baggers, because the greater part of them were needy speculators without any property but the carpet bags they carried In their hands—the negroes have seen that these men had really no sympathy with them, and only wanted to use them for eh. own selfish purposes. They see that their best friends are their old masters and the white people among whom they were born and with whom their inter , ests are identified. The Northern carpet ; baggers and orators have cheated and de ceived them under the pretence of sympa thizing with them and being their friends, and, as a natural consequence, they turn to the people who employ them and with whom their destiny Is cast. What more natural? All this only shows bow short sighted the Radicals in Congress and the RadlcMs generally have been. Independent ' of party considerations and the Immediate effect this reaction may have on the Presi I dentist election, it must be regarded as a I happy circumstance; for if the negroes and whites of the South act together all fear of a war of races hereafter will be at an end. The employer and tile employed will work together for their mutual interests and the interests of their common section of coun try. One thing is certain, and that is that the radicals must change their tactics, cease their efforts to array one portion of the Southern population against the other, and consider the interests of the whites and blacks of the South as identical, or they will have the whole of that section combined against them, both now and for all time to come. They'have deceived themselves up to this time... We shall see whether, they can retrace their steps or comprehend this moat 'lnteresting politiCal problem of the Y.
