Sir. Colfax’s patriotic benevolence, but so
_• jnany mpre.facm are in my possession fhat i
—deem it my dutyto .speak of them.- - - —— : —
It was my fortune to bo more or less asso
ciated with Mr. Colfax duriog the war, and
to be the medium through wnich some por
tion’of his kindness and liberality was mant--
tested. After the battle of Fort, Donelson,
our hospital accommodations, were limited,
and especially were the' temporary hospitals
at Paducah lacking in those little dainties bo
necessary to the comfort of sick and wounded
men. At this time .1 received checks tor
$3OO from Colfax, with the request that the
amount be expended among the sufferers as
reason and humanity might dictate. _ .A por
tion of this money was used to enable boys
who were wounded and destitute to: reach
home, where they could receive; the
attention of their friends, and where, if they |
must dim they could Uo . down im peaceful- 1
ness and security beneath the old- paternal
Toof. Nor was the distribution of this money
confined to Indian soldiers, but wa9 given to
all, bo tong as. it lasted; who required* assis
ttmce,and ‘‘Goa blessMr.Colfax” was echoed
ftbin' the-lips'of Boys flrbm Illinois, lowa,
Wisconsin, -Michigan,- Ohio “and Indiana
alike. .Among the acts of, per
formed.by Mr. ;Colfax,:and;of . wWeh I am
personally «r otherwise cognizant* are the
* following: One hundred dollars in gqldi,‘Awn
throngh 0. J. Faulkner, ex-meinber of Con
gress, and an exchanged repel, to Bick Indiana
soldiers in Libby Prison. £-
The same amount to sick Indiana soldiers
held as prisoners in South GttroUnai ‘ Five
hundred dollars at one time, and: three hun
- > dred at another to volunteers in St. Joseph
’ ' c.ounty, Indiana.. One hundred dollars at a
' Chrißtian and Sanitary ; Commission meeting
at South Bend. ABimilar amount to the
' Christian and Sanitary Commission in Wash
-1,, ington, and'sloo to a faff for tne relief of
P v destitute widows and orphans- of soldiers,
1 A held at South Bend, last year, under tbe
1 auspices of the “Grand Army of the Re
tpublic.” AU of these gifts were acknow
' Hedged through the press at the time. Besides
®hese munificent donations, Mr. Colfax gave
PSwelve lectures last year for the same cause,
s! charging nothing, paying his own traveling
expenses, and only stipulating that the enure
cross proceeds should go to the relief or aifl
, abled 1 soldiers and. the destitute widows and
it orphans of those who foil in- defence of the
H nation.
f- According to the newspaper reports, these
’ lectures averaged over $2OO each, making
a fund from this source alone of at least two
■thousandfive hundred dollars.'
It must be borne in mind that ,Mr. Colfax
is in only moderate circumstances, ana we
are free to say that for tho amount of his
means no ’ man in the Union can show a
.clearer, brighter, more praiseworthy record.
Indeed, inthis State, where his kindness and,
V \ liberality are so, well, understood, itseems- a.
I- i work or supererogation to vindicate his chat
| ■ actor ’in t-hts regard, but the-attacks-upon
r -him are so base and persistent, and are being
[ so extensively copied outside of the State,,
that it may be well to thus show how un
founded are the slanders, and how rtChly
; deserving of condemnation are the men who
1 -vilify one who, from the beginning to the end
af'. i>f the war, was pre-eminently the soldiers’
i friend. Let the truth be known, and let his
f record speak for itself,
f Very respectfully yours,

| Lite Colonel of Volunteers.
V Since writing the above we have received
the Evansville Journal, containing the fol
lowing, which clinches the statements made
in the above letter:,
“We publish, this morning, a letter from
Chaplain LOzier, silencing some of the charges
brought by unscrupulous partisans against
Speaker Colfax, relating to his service in be
half of the soldiers. It is well known to the
Army of the Republic of this city that he did
! more for the charity fund of this post by his
. lecture last winter than any other dozen men
or agencies combined; and for his visit to this
city be declined to receive a cent even for
traveling expenses. Few men in the country
did as much during or since the war,in a sub
stantial way, for the relief of the soldiers as
*,,4, Schuyler Colfax.”
A W.e see also by Chaplain Lozier s statement
f that Sir.-Colfax gave his entire mileage for
i: - one term, amounting to $OOO, to the soldiers,
and we have no doubt that could all hiß gifts
to them during and since. the war be made
known, the amount so contributed would not
’ fall short of $lO,OOO. And this is the man
Who iB reported by Moore as saying he had
“no time to fool away with soldiers.” We
don’t believe there is a man in the country
i ’ who is such an addle-pated fool as to believe
•’ jjiie story, even without a denial. G. P.

In our last article upon the election frauds
in Pennsylvania in 1807, we pointed out the
advantages of coffee in giving to fraudulent
naturalization papers a color of antiquity
agreeing with their pretended date. As we

the comedy of coffee to the tragedy of assas-
Bination. When Shugart had carried the
district by the votes of laborers upon the Ty
rone mid Clearfield Railroad, changed from
alienß into American citizens by the magic of
spurious papers, it beibg apparent to all men
that there had been considerable Democratic
cheating round that board, it became pru

The Hew York correspondent of the
Rochester "Union SAfSV ,
“New York has long been celebrated lor
hPf magnificent entertainments,and.eßpeolally
for her weddings and ; wedding. breakfasts.
On such-occasions : the guests, unwilling ; to
be outdone' by the hoßt in liberalityysome
times Vie with each other in presenting the
bride elect with costly gifts, of; every descrip
tion. One, two or three rooms, as, ther case
may he, are set- apart, at every ‘fashionable
(Wedding where: the -presents ate displayed
and commented uponv by the invited guests.
It has been frequently suggested by the more
prudent members of society that these offer
ings he. entirely suppressed, and that none
but the immediate relations should com
memorate theaday in this wise; but the idea
has met with" no favor, till of late, when one
of our fashionable ‘Murrey Hill princeß’Jtook a
most determined step towards reform. As
it is the only case of the kind on record, a
description of the wedding may uotbo un
interesting. • V
“Several hundred invitations were given,
and at the appointed hour the parlors were
crowded nearly to sufflocation. The bride
was attired in white marcelline silk of most
scant proportions; her veil consisted of one
breadth'of tulle caught in her comb at the
back of her hair; no flowers were worn ex
cept a very minute bunch in front of her dress.
The groom was attired with like simplicity,
thereby attracting oonsideiable attention. No
refreshments were offered to the wearied
guests,'who gladly bade adieu, and returned
to their homes. There was false hope raised
in the minds of a few, pn seeing a large bride
cake in one comer, that a glass of wine and
piece of cake might be served; but the illu
sion was dißpellea oh questioning the waiter
(one only being in attendance) , who informed
them he had instructions not to cut it I The
presents were Spread upon a small table,
andcreated, not a little astonishment. One
five dollar gold piece was laid, upon a card
inscription, ‘From your, affection
ate Grandfather.’ A coin of half this value
was presented by the ‘affectionate Grandmo
ther, while devoted brothers and sisters testi
fied their affection by the presentation of a gold
dollar each.
“As might be expected, the guests de
parted early. One lady was unfortunate
enough to nave ordered her carriage to call
for her at midnight Bhe saw all depart,and
(hen seated herself to await patiently its
coming. After a while a savory smell of
oysters, coffee, <fcc., came floating on the air;
with some confusion of manner the members
ol the family one by one disappeared, and,
After some delay, the host hesitatingly in
vited her to partake of some refreshment.
She declined, and the family retired to dis
cuss the supper, leaving her to await her car

At a recent meeting of the Aeronautical
Society it was announced fly Mr. Wenham
that one of the members of the society, Mr.
Spencer, had already constructed an appara
tus by the aid of which he had accomplished
the feat of raising himself from the ground
level and performing a horizontal flight of GO
feet, and it was further stated by Mr. Wenham,
that Mr. Spencer expected to fly the length
of the Crystal Palace, during.the meeting of
the Aeronautical Society, to be held there on
the 25th inst. Since the above announcement
was tnade,we have received from Mr. Spencer
some particulars of the apparatus employed
by him. It consists of a pair of wings of rather
small Bize, arranged so that they can be
worked by the arms, and a large fan-shaped
tail of a 'veiy light construction connected to
the body by basket-work, so that it stands at
an angle ot about 3 degrees with the horizon
tal. Mr. Spencer does not profess to fly in
the ordinary sense of the term. He Uses his
apparatus by taking a short quick run, this
fun being continued until, Dy pressure of the
air against the under surface of the tail,
he is raised from the ground. He then,
by using the wings, maintains the mo
mentum which he has acquired as
long as possible, and is thus - enabled to
skim along .at a short distance above the
ground., Mr. Spencer commenced his opera
tions by practicing long jumps without the
aid of apparatus, and he then commenced
using the wings, and finally added the tail,
By continued practice, and from-time to time
making alterations in’his apparatus, .Mr.
Spencer has been enabled to extend
ably his early flights or “skims,” and we
were informed by him a few day s ago that he
had lately accomplished a horizontal flight of
180 feet,-starting and alighting at the ground
level., Mr. Spencer is now engaged in com
pleting a new apparatus, which he hopes tp
finish tn lime for the exhibition of the. Aero
nautical Society at the Crystal Palace, and wo
look forward with come interest to witnessing
his performance. i

From the first representation of V. 4 time, a five
act drama taken from Dickens’s No Thoroughfare,
at the Vaudeville, the success was complete. This
may have the effect of renewing that of Jean la
Ponte, (Boucicault’s A rrak-na-Poguc). another
English drama. Formerly we used to complain
of the English abstracting all our plays; at pre
sent our stage can hardly succeed but on com
dltion of borrowing theirs. Their theatre is
ascending while ours is sinking below par.

low, say two-fifths of a cent, a total of 1,000,000

Tho Prceldcnt to-day sent to the House a message
In, reply to Mr. Bobln son’s resolution, requiring him
*o tako each measures aa shall appear proper to,se
cure the release from imprisonment of Messrs.
Warren "and Costello, convicted and sentenced in
Great Britain for words and acts spoken and done in
thiscountry,.by ignoring our naturalization laws,
and to tako such other measures as will secure their
return to oar flag frith such ceremonies as are appro
priate to the occasion. Secretary Sowaid suggested,
to the Prceldcnt, the expediency of a renewal by the
President of the appeal to .Congress made la his late
.animal meeaago, tor a legislative declaration a jttrmlng
•• and supporting the principle which has been hitherto
■disallowed In Great Britain. The same has been poo
etantly and (Irmly maintained by the fexecntlve De-
partment In regard to an absolute equality and: iden
tity of civil rights between naturalized and native
citizens of the United States, when sojourning in
foreign countries.
The following is the letter addressed by’ Secretary
•Seward toMr. Moran: •t':"
DBrAßtMmrr o* Btatk, ' 1 1 ;
Wabuihutoh, June sU, 1883. ; f
Sun The correspondence recorded in yohr dispatch
is full of remonstrance end'expostulation, : which by
the President's direction I have addressed to her
Majesty’agovemtncnt; against the-impresament.of
Messrs. Warren and Costello. ,The retspns have been
folly and frequently assigned! why the ludlclal
severity maintained,, by the British • government in
these cases has tenders to embarrass tbe frloudly re
lations between the two conntdes, to .protract the
.political excitement Whlch has sO/greaHy disturbed
the peace of the British realmand ofibe British pro
"vmces adjacent to the United States. * .
On manv- occasions X have had the honor to oreo
upon the British government the necessity of a modi
fication oftho laws of ttte British reataj ln tho case of
subjects of Gres; Britain who havo become citizens
-oftheUnlted States tinder our natursUzallon laws.
By the President’s direction, also, I have With reach
urgency invited the - British government .to enter
into an equal treaty wlth' the United States' on that
subject as a proceeding which' is; essential i for the
removal'of discontents which, if suffered to continue,
mlghtlhvolvethe two nations lhrCprlSSUotWar.
. Hitherto these proceedings have, been unfruitful,
BlthouKh wo 'have aianv frieiidly sssttrances of a
favorable disposition on the part or the British' gov
ernment. In connection with this matter, the Presi
dent now jnaltesittoy duty to give.. yores copy of a
rcsolntlon of the House of Bcpresentatives of the
United States, wblchppssed on tneflftoentb of Jnne.
■{Here the Secretary quotes the resolution above .re
ferred to, and then adds:) • * ■
X farther call yourattentlon to tho fact that a blll,
whlch has pasted the' House of lleprescntatlres, is
'Sow engaging Iheattentlon of the Senate, the effect
of whlcKhlll, if it shall becemo a law, will be to ro
•qntre the President to make reprisals in cases jOf indi
■ciardcnlal In Gteat Britain to naturalized Americans
■of the rights which ■ are conceded there to .native
American citizens Ton will he expected to read tho
rcsolntlon referred to, together with this lna traction,
to her Majesty's principal Secretary forPorolgn Af

amendment, by making the fees for gauging and
inspecting payable by the United States.

The payment of officers by distillers was an Invita
tion to fraud. ...
Mr. Schemck assented to that principle, but .said
that it was different In regard to fees. ‘He said the
present system In regard to fees was very loose, and
mentioned a ghse of 'one gauger lot {oils whose fees
amounted to .$56,000 a year, and of a case in New
York In the oil trade that had to pay an Inspector last

half a dozen times or more when the tax had not been
