CRIME.
MURDER.
A Woman Poisons Her Husband-. The
Murderess Escapes after Conimining
the Crime.
[Chicago Journal, Oct.?.]
Another terrible chapter has treen added to the
annals of crime in this cite. In thin instance a
woman deliberately kills her husband by mixing
with his drink a, dose of deadly poison.
It will be remembered that mention was made
a few days since of the marriage of a woman
named Milan to a fellow named Martin Whelan,
the alliance having been contracted while the
former's husband was undergoing a short term
of incareetation in the city Bridewell for commis
sion of a breach of the peace. Mrs. Milan's
daughter, a young woman sixteen years of age,
disgusted at her mother's conduct, swore out a
warrant for bigamy against her parent and caused
her arrest, but upon the case being called at the
Police Court, the daughter falling to appear, the
prisoner was discharged from custody.
Now comes the horrible sequel. The woman
realigned to the shanty where she and her hus
band bad been living for many years, and where
her husband, who had been liberated from the
Bridewell, was residing with his daughter. The
bigamist, not satisfied with the crime of which
she had already been guilty, and, finding that
having two husbands, one or whoth she hated,
was a most unhappy state for a woman to live in,
determined to rid herself of one of them by fair
means or by foul. As there seemed no prospect
of the former means coming to hand, the despe
rate creature made up her mind to murder the
object of her aversion, and thus free herself of
him in this world forever. For some days
past Milan bad been drinking very hard, and
has constantly been in a half-inebriated
condition. On Monday evening, it seems,
about half-past eight o'clock, the unhappy family
of father, mother and daughter were assembled
in their abode, Milan engaged in sipping liquor.
The daughter saw her mother put a teaspoonful
of morphine into her father's glass, and then mix
it well by stirring. On asking her mother what
she was about, the latter replied to the effect that
she wanted to make Milan sleep soundly. The
deadly poison did its work faithfully, for Milan,
after having unsuspectingly swallowed the death
dealing compound, never rallied, and at four
Weloek yesterday afternoon breathed his last.
The guilty woman did not stay at the side of
her murdered husband until he had dosed his
eyes forever, but while the death-rattle was
•sounding in his throat, prepared a small package
of clothing, left the house and fled.
—Leopold de Meyer gave his first coheert in
New York. The New York Mail say§ of the
pianist: "A little, dandyish, excessiTtly genial
good-natured and vivacious speciafert - Nhe is.
it is absurd to call him old. His thin hair, - it is
true. is white with years, but in spirits, in
sprightliness, iu the sort of gushing confidence
he seems to extend to his audience, he is but
a youth. He trips over the stage like a cheerful
cricket; he bows like a Turveydrop; ho plays like
a lion. He would be a greater prize to a manager
than either Gottschalk or Thalberg, - for he is
alike free from the dainty effeminacy of the one
and the cow-like gravity of the other."

RASH STEPS.
[Correrpondenco of the Philadelphia Evottliig Bulletin.]
Of two gray-headed and blue•bloused citizens Of
Rouen, who were talking together on the quay
with all that frenzy, that boyish extravagance of
gesture, that hOt hemorrhage of passion about
nothing which we always see In the wild grand
daddies of the theatre, and never anywhere
else—out of France; of this pantomime pair,
with their faces of eighty, their actions of
twenty, and their costumes of a hundred
years old, I stopped to ask my way, not for
Information, as I needed none, but as the
handiest way of opening conversation. "Can
you indicate, ny worthy anachronlsins," I said,
" the best path to the brow of Mount St. Catha
rine?"-for the day wastoing. and I wanted to
watch the reflection fad*, in the river. Stepping
out with a world of courtesy, the more Inebriated
of the two, insisting on seeing me safe, towed me
anxiously along, giving me the benefit of his
ideas and of his latest brandy in one breath, and
with equal liberality. He was out of work at
present, but hoped soon to find employment on
the military roads 'projected in the imperial
fancy since the 16th of October; he could
then gain eighteen. or even twenty sons every
sacred day of his life. It was the old road-mender
of the Mis&ables. with his aimless vivacity, his
poor ClMlling.,his little play of thoughts and in
istinets skipping an inch or two around his ham
mer on every side and getting no further, his
eyes bent, like the Old Cumberland Beggar's.
upon the endless length of his road. and filled
1 1
with the pebbles and straws that moved co
tinually past out of sight. A character that nev .r .
is semi ii America, and never will be till the e
surrcetion; a 'being with nu future, no past, no
hope, nO letters, no journal, no hearth; no spec
tacles, no politics, no change: such a being as you
might grow to be, my reader, supposing your
forefather or fifth-father had concluded to retain
his ten:me3 instead of going off to tr e y and better
his fortune among the red Indians. In short, a
mole—the worst animal in, all zEsop to take as a
guide. I eheeked him presently, as he was airily
butrit.g me along in' a quite erroneous direc
tion: put an unexpected tourniquet upon his .
flow of brandy-and-babble: turned him back with
the proxy for more alcohol. in his hand; and
climbed the bill alone.
I.never find myself looking from one of these
gentle eminences, over a sleepy French city,
orooding With its two wings equally hung upon
opposite sides of a shining stream, but.' think of
Turner and the "Rivers of France." Here o St.
Catharine's field, as r leaned against a great cross--
shaped fragment of a wall, all that remained of
an old fortress that Henry IV. caused to be leveled
upon capturing it from the League, I thought of
him for may be the twentieth time. The Seine
was stealing absently along, not like an Ameri
can tide of crystal, but dim. and viscid with its
muddy memories; strips and ribbons of Norman
culture were rolling down the slopes, in unequal
lengths and variegated colors; the slenderest pop
lars and ash trees on earth were wandering off in
straight lints all around, the _compass, as ruined
aqueducts thread the Roman campagna ; and the
orange was fading behind the mossy gables and
lace-wrought towers of patient Rotten, as it fades
over many a fairy ariarellt in that enchanted
itinerary of the British Claude. As I leaned like
Some moping raven on theruin, with the old
moat behind me softened with turf that had fed
on Protestant blood, I never thought, as I
ought to have done. about Henry and the League.
I only'thought of the
,ugly magician who had
seen it all lx!.fore me : the surly, snuffy, dumb.
uncivil. inexplicable Anglais, who had stood,
using his huge umbrella for a desk and the sleeves
of his rude overcoat for paint-rags, and stuttering
splendor and genius from his dirty hand on many
a cliff like this.
Patient Rotten grew darker and„darker beneath.
I as if its histories were opi.res.sing" it. There the
Conqueror had been the conquered.though it was
behind we on the rivet., in the flat little town of
Mantes, that he.got his death, by the fall which
resulted fatally of Rouen. There, in its hermetic
crystal box. reposes the Lion Heart—a pinch of
melancholy' dust for the heart ‘ace so red and
stout. There, in the irregular little Place of the
Old Markets, the supcib young virago of Orleans
tare her ashes to the upbraiding winds ; and the
mild and astute English soldiery of the day
looked chivalrously on as the girl crisped and
blackened behind the flames, approving the
deed in the spirit so frankly reflected in Shakes
peare's version of the deed, and so grimly
vaunted in the letter of the English
monarch to his "very dear and very much
loved uncle,"—which epistle charges this bad
business of vengeance and superstition to "the
great hurts and inconveniences, horrible homi
cides and detestable cruelties and other evils
without number which she bath done as against
our Lordships and the loyal obedient people."
In the . Moinastery of the . lirsulines of Rouen
exists a witness of the imprisonment of Joan, a
solitary tower of the old chfiteau of Bonvreull,
wherein she was confined and judged. The con
temporary monument to the Maid;.'a graceful,
triangular affair; set up in the square a few years
after her death, to the immortal daughter of
Vaucouleurs, has unfortunately given place to a
heavy composition and statue, executed by Paul
Slodts in the worst taste of Louis Quinze.
Other absorbing mementoes were fading from
my sieht,as a misty twilight slowly drew its ob
literating sponge across the storied page beneath
me. I was too far off to distinguish, close behind
the statue of Joan d'Arc,the embossed tower of the
splendid Hotel de Bourgtherolde, a mansion
whose walls are worked inch by inch like some
rich platter of Cellini's. Hero, on one of the
'paneled window-sills, is carved the scone of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold—a crowd of splendid
knights in weeds of peace, and a proud Grand
Master of Ceremonies, so stiff in his puffed and
slashed suit that he eau hardly make the gesture
of introduction, presenting Francis, who sits en
a saddle-cloth, burly with embroidered Illies, to
Henry, who is followed by his English bowmen,
Mounted on spirited chargers and armed, like
Robin Hood's merry-men, all with simple bows
as long as themselves; all this brilliant story told
by some contemporary sculptor with the perse
verance, the elaboration, the waste of art that
marks the first years of the French rennaissance.
' Nor could I see, not far behind this splendidly
illuminated page of old romances the plain house
in which Peter Corneille, in 1606, opened his eyes,
almost to the tragic Place where the Pucello was
slain: but I could see, on one of the lovely islands
boating at my feet, the poet's stately head, carved
by David of Angers, with the last undulations of
daylight caressing its ribboned hair.
A faint chirnb stole to me, melting among the
evening rays. From the Tower of the Grand
Clock an ancient bell rang the evening note, the
peal that rang &Ain France,but vibrated soon to
England, crying epuvre-feu to - the Normans and
codes' to the Saxons. "Put out :lour lights,"
rang the great bell, "draw the ashes, over the em-

here, and straight to bed! It is late, late, late!
It is nine."
And I fled guiltily down the hill, with thi
musical reverberations pursuing me to a fragran
and dreamy pillow.
POLITICAL.
TENNESSE E.
Inauguration of Governor Brownlow
Addresto.
Governor Brownlow was inaugurated at the
Tennessee State Capitol, In Nashville, yesterday
morning. He appeared in the House of Repre
sentatives, and took the oath of office.' Ills in
augural address was read by his Private• Secr
etary. Of this address a synopsis was published,
yesterday, but the following rerbatint extracts are
of Interest:
"Your predecessors took the Government as
an experiment, you can find it an establishment.
They adopted measures to set it in motion, your
measures will look to a wise and beneficent ad
ministration. It was theirs to build the mar
chinery, it Is yours to keep It in good running
order. Our external relations are mainly and for
present inquiry entirely with the Federal
Government. and I am happy to inform you that
they continue most amicable. and harmonious.
From the beginning, we have been sustained---by
the military authorities of the nation Mu
keeping the peace and executing the laws in the
localities where the war, after subsiding, had left
elements of disturbance: Your predecessors
thought proper to provide a small militia force,
to be used in aid of the civil law and as part of
it, when the civil law, Unaided, might prove in
capable of dealing with its violators. Applica
tion was made to Congress for arras and eqttip
meats, which were cheerfully granted by
that body. And I take pleasure in bearing
testimony to the promptitude with which
their action:was carried into etre& by the then
Sec:ratify of War. Much anxiety was felt in an
ticipation of disorders ou the day of election.
Major-Gen. George H. Thomas, in command of
the Department, co-operated with Gen. Joseph
A. Cooper in command of the militia, so effec
tually that, with a few marked exceptions. the
peace was preserved and the best ot order main
tained all over the State. With these exceptions
there never has been so quiet an election in the
State, or one that evinced more forbearance and
self-control on the cart of our citizens;
It was our fond hope that upon the restoration
of peace, the termination of slavery and the es
tablishment of civil government, a tide of immi
gration would set Into this State from the North
ern States and froin Europe; that men of capital
and enterprise, attracted by our mild and healthy
climate, fertile soil, magnificent scenery, pure
and abundant water, would come among us and
aid in the development of our vast resources.
Our disappointment is attributable to the in
tolerant and prweriptive spirit of a large
portion of those lately in rebellion. With them
every Union man is an "Abolitionist," and every
".Abolitionist" an enemy to be proscribed, de
spised and driven from the country. I attribute
the violence of these pestilential disloyalists to
the insane policy of the President. who constantly
holds out to them the prospect of being restored
to power at an early day. The treatment of
the few who have brought their families and
means among us has been such as to engender
a feeling of insecurity of life and property, a
sense . of social isolation and a,conseloasness that
they are liable at any time to be expelled
from the country. Some good citizens,
enterpnse and capital, have actually returned to
the Northern States in consequence of ill-treat
ment. It is to be hoped..however, that these pas
sions and prejudices will wear away and com
mon Tense resume its sway; that as the power
and influence of the President, new so rapidly
waning.. shall cease to stimulate their vain and
foolish hope for supremacy in the country, they
Will see the great advantage of not only
treating immigrants with common respect,
but of encouraging them to settle among us. It
is to be hoped that they will soon learn that their
former contracted and sectional ideas can newer
again prevail. and they will soon fall into the
great radical idea of equal rights to all men in all
sections of our great country. Hoping hod be
lieving that a better spirit will soon prevailigrow
leg out of our recent eleetionsAvithout going into
details; I recommend that you extend every en
couragement within your constitutional power to
immigration.
CEMVENSATING LOYAL MEN FOR LOSSE9.
After mature deliberation, I have determined to
recommend to your favorable consideration the
remuneration of loyal citizens of this State for
losses sustained by the occupation of the country
by the national armies. The passage of the so
called ordinance of secession, and the assumed
transfer of the State to the so-called Southern
Confederacy. placed Tennessee in the attitude
of rebellion, and her people in the position
of enemies to the National Government.
The consequence was that upon the occupancy of
the State by the national forces, our people were
treated as enemies, with but little discrimination
between the loyal and the disloyal. Their lands
and houses were occupied, their property im
pressed or destroyed, and their provisions con
sumed. In East Tennessee this was done from
necessity, by an unsupplied army, to an extent
that reduced the people to absolute suffering.
Thus far the Federal Government, classing Ten
nessee with the rebel States, and unwilling to
assume the losses incurred in the whole South,
has not regarded the applications of our loyal peo
ple for remuneration. I understand that similar
losses by the citizens of. Indiana, Pennsylvania
and Ohio have been promptly assumed, and yet
the nation knows, and the world knows, that a
more loyal people than those in Tennessee who
remained steadfast to the National cause, through
so long and •terrible an ordeal, are not to be
found in the Union. But I cannot and will not
lose confidence in the justice and magnanimity of
the American people. I believe they will yet
cheerfully repay the , loyal sufferers among our
people, many of whom were deprived of their
property by the National forces, while they
were themselves absent fighting for the national
cause. But you, gentlemen, can afford present
relief, relying upon' the • General Government
hereafter to assume and pay these just and meri
torious claims. I recommend that proper officers
be appointed to ascertain and audit -these claims,
and that the bonds of the State of denominations
from $5O to itloo be issued in payment. lam
aware that this proposition will meet with
fierce oppOsition from those who would
give preference to the millions of debt
contracted by the usurped State Govern
ment, or by rebel quartermasters. lam also
aware that the objection will come from a better
class upon the ground of so considerable an in
crease of the State debt; but if the American peo
ple are just, they will assume the amount long
before it falls due, and upon principle, treat the
suffering loyalists of Tennessee as they have the
loyalists of other States. Let such a law be well
guarded in every respect, and if Congress does
not at once assume the liability, and promptly
meet the same, then we have elected eight able
and loyal men to Congress to look after our in
terests to very little purpose.
INTEMPERANCE.,
Throughout the length and breadth of Tennes
see distilleries and wholesale liquor-dealers are
multiplying with frightful rapidity, and the in
creasing evils arising therefrom call upon the
friends of humanity and of religion to; educate
the public mind in opposition to this vice, and if
possible, to stay the tide that now bids
lair to overwhelm and degrade society.
Intemperance is blowing up_ - steamboats,
upsetting stage-coaches, and, through the
carelessness of drunken `engtneors or switch
tenders, it Is bringing trains in collision or run
ning them off the track. All this appalling loss
of bfe and limb, resulting from the wickedness,
carelessness and contempt for human life'of the
owners, directors, superintendents, agents and
employes on the various - lines of travel, is
attributable, in a groat degree, to the vice of In
temperance. A general revision of our State laws
in reference to , the railroads and steamboats is be
lieved to be needed. The least that can be done
by the Legislature—and this ought to be satklac-
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
EN EA7`.l3" 'PERDU
Confiding in the intelligence and patriotism
which induced your constituents to send you
here as law-makers, I assure you of my earnest
desire to co-operate with you in all measures yolk.,
may inaugurate for the common good. Coming
here with the heavy majorities you are honored
with, your action may mark your session as the
enoch in our history when genuine progress as-
sertcd its sway in Tennessee. Honored in her
past history, and her present claims fully re-
E•ponded to, we shall wipe out the foul stain
of rebellion, and we may look forward to the
future of Tennessee, with ON utmost,conlidence.
It will be our highest honor to leive jealously
guarded the fame of our State, advanced her
prosperity and developed her vast resources.
Destiny and events, God and history, have • as
,igned to Tennessee an important position in the
great work of restoring the Union; Let us act-
Well our i,art, and under Providence perform the
great but aurecable work of fraternity, and love
and loyalty toward the race of men.
Wendell Phillips on the October Elec.
It seems probable that the elections in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio yesterday (Tuesday) were sub
stantial triumphs for the negro-hating democracy.
We are not surprised at this result, though the
loss especially of the amendment in Ohio we
greatly deplore, Inputs in still greater jeopardy
our own, in this State. whenever it shall be sub
mitted for a vote; it endangers a similar amend
ment now pending in Kansas, and more
than all, it • will affect very unfavor.,
.ably the . still ' unsettled problem of
the p i
olitical relations of the negro n the final re
construction at the South. With the large regis
tration of whites, though
,the actual majority
vote cast may call for a.convention, it is likely, in •
several States to be 'a minority of all those regis
tered, and therefore ineffectual In this way Con
gressional reconstruction is to be again check
mated. What greater encouragement do negro
haling Southerners need than the adverse vote of -
Ohio, with such a President in the White House,
to do all they possibly can to resist the establish,-
ment of government in the Smith which shall
place the blacks upon an equality with the whites?
We do not doubt the ultimate complete triumph
of our cause. But we see in the timid and
--shiftless man wuvring of - Republican managers
criminal blundering which, if it involved only
theitmelves - ill disappointment:we should not par
ticularly regret. But in the two political divisions
created by the circumstances of the revolution
through which we are passing, it is the misfor
tune of the situation that their criminal folly
inflicts needless and most cruel suffering, even
unto death, or living tortures worse than death,
upon thousands of victims, white and
black, throughout the South. and greatly em
barrasses the progress of our cause in the North.
The Republicans of 3iassachusctts, in their late
Worcester Convention, over which Mr. Wilson
presided, paved the way for the Ohio defeat by
their non-committal attitude in regard to negro
suffrage-es a vitally important question. Such
a course was but a part of the Wilson-Pessencleu
Republican policy. The Republicans of this
State resolved definitely and unqualifiedly in
favor of negro suffrage, but the action'of the re
presentatives of the party at the Albany Conven
lion, in postponing the subject beyond the
November election, neutralizes the moral effect
of the Syracuse resolution. The Republicans of
Pennsylvania meanly dodged the issue, the sig
nificance of which, as connected with national
politics, they fully understood. Their action
invited the defeat which they richly deserve.
The Republicans of Ohlo,in a greater degree than
its spurious democracy, arc responsible for the
ignominious defeat of the national Issue in the
their canvass just closed. In a most disreputable
manner they refused first to submit the question
at all, and then, in view of what Congress, under
military rule, dictated for the South, they felt
constrained to'Teconsider their previous action,
and to change front in the face of the enemy.
With this manifest timidity and. insincerity they
were in no condition to win victory.
In all this an absolute necessity is made appa
rent for continued hard work on the part of all
Abolitionists and sincere Radicals everywhere.. It
is demonstrated that our cause cannot be safely
intrusted to political adventurers, however loud
their professions of fidelity to the doctrine of
negro equality. Radical, persistent agitation.
must be continued. Under the operations of the
war power we have made rapid strides. That
power is not,e
and ought not to be, per al in a
free government. If. as the heat attic sub
sides, it is found that the ave age opinion of
heat
the country is below the point to which, in
the direction of freedom for the negro, the
war carried us, we must inevitably sink to the
level of that opinion. Churches and the clergy
are, as formerly, for the most part, but make
wdihts, or a positive drag, where they should
be foremost in leadingthe nation in the light of
immutable, fundamental Christian principles ,
through its present dillicult and dangerous pass.
The' great battle for permanent .. freedom and
equal political rights for tlite negro is to be
fought in the year before us. The elections
of yesterday and those of next month will
be as a preliminary engagement. " What
might have been," are among the saddest
words. Had Congress met Its responsibilities
n'romptly and in a straightforward manner by
long ago removing Johnson and guaranteeing
negro suffrage without equivocation in its legis
lation upon reconstruction, the present untoward
defeat and others foreshadowed might have been
avoided. Will it be admonished at the "eleventh
hour?" It is one of the most threatening dan
gers of the Republican defeat of yesterday that,
in the Presidential campaign which will open
next summer, the standard bearer of that party
will be such, from supposed availability, as would
render victory in itself a disaster. Better defeat
with a standard which deserves success than
victory only in the name,
Massachusetts apfitted.
Adams, of Massachusetts, aTcepts the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. In his letter of
acceptaucs he says:
Upon the questions of finance and taxation it
is difficult to reconcile the incompetence which
pervades our system of imposts with a pre
sumption of honest intent in the legislators who
framed it. No man who assumes a capacity
to make laws at this day should dare to plead
in excuse of his blunders an abject :gno
ranee of the first principles of poßtical
economy and an utter. indifference to the re
corded results of experience. But the intolera
ble burden of an exploded and unscientific plan
of internal taxation,.comhined with a tar.iff.which
is nothing but legalized‘robbery, must have been
saddled upon the people by gross ignorance or
fraud, and if not speedily_ removed it will'far.

tory to the friends of morality and religion—is to
authorize the prohibition of the traffic through the
ballot-box once in two years, either by counties
or civil districts. This would enable, those who
desire to rid themselves of the numerous and
alarming evils of intemperance to do so legiti
mately, while it would enable those counties or
civil districts who are "joined to their idols" to
cling to, them, and suffer the consequences.
THE CASE 01 , IMAM G. HARRIS.
I advise the immediate repeal of the offer of a
reward of $5,000 for the arrest and return of Ex-
Gov. Danis, My opinions withiregard to active,
original secessionists, and the punishment due to
them, have undergone no change. But no man
has been punished for treason yet, from Jefferson
Davis down; and the piks-rebelpolley of the Presi
dent warrants the conclusion that none will he
punished. Besides, in Tennessee during
the late canvass, there were worse
men upon the stump than Harris ever was,openly
proclaiming treason and sedition, and inspiring
the people with sectional malice. I advise the
repeal of this oiler from two other considerations
—first, that of humanity towards the family of
Harris; and next, but not least, that of economy
ou the part of the :Rate. The State is liable to be
called upon at any day for this reward, and in
return she would have nothing to show for the
outlay.

Increasing 'Demand for Money...l7y
McGeeßecomes a Teetotaler...A lie .
view of the Montreal Garrison Or..
dered. '
• .
MoyritEntr.,October 7.—The demand for
money is increasing - here; and the rate of interest
is advancing. Nine to twelve per cent is asked
for money; according to (panty .of paper. Bills •
of exchange are alsoln.demaud, eight and three
quarters to nine premium being asked for bank.
Many persons have to take exchange from the
banks to induce discounts. This is now a com,
mon trick in banking. Parties not wanting ex
change have then to sell the bills to realize their
amounts and meet their payments.
At the religious temperance meeting Sunday
before last, one of the speakers said that, having
business with Mr. McGee, he took occasion to
congratulate him on the noble stand he had taken,
and to assure him of the jey'liChad given to all
good Nen, and of their earnest desire that he
would prove faithful. Mr. McGde said that he
had made up his mind before the late election to
necome a teetotaler, but he had delayed till after
that had taken place, fearing that his motives
might be construed into a desire to make political
capital. On the Sunday after the - election he said
to his wife, "Tell the grocer to-morrow to come
and take every drop of nine and liquor out of the
cellar. I have made up my mind to have nothing
to do with it." Thus spoke D'lrey McGee.
The speaker at the meeting who narrated this
said he hoped McGee would yet become the
Father Mathew of Canada, and carry a banner, I
presume, on which would be lettered : r."We
drink only; cold water."

This is 3leGee's last metamorphosis, at. least I
have not heard of any other, though another
might take place within ten minutes:
A review of the garrison of Montreal is ordered
for to-day, on Logan's farm. This is a piece of
ground now belonging to the Imperial G'overn
went, on the outskirts of the city. It is a pretty
mixture of plain, wood and ravine, and is suitable
for a review, drill or camp ground, to which three
uses it is put.
Among the regiments now in garriion is the
Pill, which, with the 47th, formed the column
on the Niagara frontier during- the late Fenian
raid. The 16tli is known by its yellow facings,
collar, cuffs. &c., and tunics of brick dust color.
The men are nearly all Irish, and a good fighting
body, although not so presentable for parades.
Very cool weather here now, and everybody
buying firewood.

THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS

—I ani much gratified to find that my views meet
the approbation of Mr. -- and yourself: They
are the matured opinion of close observation of
the wants of the country. That they should ac
cord with the principles of my former Democratic
• associates is not "remarkable," as they are Dem
ocratic as was Democracy before it became Con
servatism under the manipulations of Fillmore,
Geo. T. Curtis, Winthrop, Josiah Randall, and
Persons of their opinions, who never drew a
Democratic breath. The Democracy must look
to the Radical Republican party for the resusci
tation of its true principles as applied to men as
men. With us all true Democrats will ultimately
be found who believe in equality of rigkt,
equality of power, equality of taxation. under
the Government to every man who, by the
Constitution, has the high positipn of an
American citizen. My hopes, or expecta
tions of political preferment have nothing to

Applications of Rebels for Pardon.

The application for pardon of James A. Sed

federacy, was under consideration at the meeting
of the Cabinet on Tuesday last. Mr. Seddon s
peti)lon is well supported by influential endorse
ludas, but by the advice of the members of the
Cabinet the President has decided to postpone
action for the present. An application for pardon
from ex-Commodore Barron, of the rebel navy,
is now in the bands ot the President, awaiting
his consideration, and it is thought that the ap
plication of Barron, as well as that of Alexander
Hwill be . Stephens, ; granted in a fow days.

having equal speed on a railroad track, meet
from opposite directions, the shock actually
destroys the momentum of both, and there

shock produced by the two bodies, say the
philosophers, will be equal to the shock
which either, being at rest, would sustain if
struck by the other moving with double the

both bodies will be as much moved by
reaction as by action. Should two railroad
trains, running toward each other at the rate
