The Univereily.—This is-a monthly maga mine, ofv which the first number has just been received. It ,devoted to the interests of the 13 stiversity of Pennsylvania. and promises to be' a valuable aid , to that venerable institution. The list of contaihutors contains the names of genre dour leading literary men. The pres ent number opens with an interesting biogra phy,by provost Stillk of the. Rev. Mr. Smith, whom the writer regards as the true founder of the Institute. This is followed by au article on th* antiquities of Bloomerism, by Professor Homy Morton. It shows a. considerable amount of classical reading, and is All of originality and quiet humor. "What is Philology," by Professor McElroy, is well written and instructive, and a short poem, "In 'War Time,!'. by Ba;• is excellent in rhythm,but not verycomprehonsible as regards point. "Types of the Devil" is a clever article by Emil Budd, Jr., and a notice of Dr. Augustus Schleicher, by Professor Oswald Seidensticker, will interest many who are curious about the subject of philology. The editorials are well written, but reveal a want of harmony in the two literary societies con • meted With the University which we sincerely hope may soon be remedied by the good sense and "esprit de corps" of the students. Alto gether the first number of the magazine gives promise of good things, to come. A HISTORICAL DISCOVERY Slave Slave Mace ln Slassaehusens an Old Dominant. The forthcoming number of Mr. Dawson's .Historical. Magazine will contain a paper by Mr, George H. Moore, librarian of the New York Historical Society, on "Slave Marriages in Massachusetts," in which an interesting discovery of an old manuscript is announced. Mr. Moore begins by citing the contro versy which occurred in Massachusetts in 1748, concerning slave marriages. He says : "The Rev. Noah Hobart, in his `Serious Address to the Episcopal separation in New England,' published in 1748, challenged the want of flexibility in the forms of the Liturgy of the Church of England, as tending 'to in troduce Irreligion and Profaneness'—espe cially in the use of the Office of Matrimony for marriages contracted between slaves. * • • In reply to Hobart, Dr. John Beach took up this alleged source of wickedness, re sponding in substance that as a slave was capable of being made free; and so of having property in a large estate, there was `no pro phaneness in the man's solemnly promising to Make his wife copartner with him in an his worldly goods, if ever it should please God to bestow an estate upon him.'— Calm and Dispassionate Vindication, tfcc., p. 39. "Whatever may be thought of the state of the argument between these reverend cham pions, there can be no doubt that in a com munity like that of Massachusetts during the time when slavery prevailed there, some thoughtful and considerate men must have felt the absurdity of solemn religious sanction for such connections, governed as they were by the humor or interest of masters or mis tresses, the owners of the slaves. And in proportion to that reverence for marriage and the sanctity, of the marriage -tie which has always been credited to Puritan orthodoxy, there. must have been some repugnance to profaning the solemn rites by which 'God's first ordinance, confirmed by Christ's first miracke'A has always been guarded in all Christian countries. The simplest forms in rise for such a ceremony were profaned, when mutual pledges of enduring love and fidelity were given and taken by those who were liable to separation at any time at the will of their owners." While admitting that marriage in Massa chusetts, for many years after the first settle ment, was regarded as a mere civil contract entered into before a magistrate, Mr. Moore contends that it is no less certain that the prayers proper for the occasion, which were made by the magistrate upon giving the cove nant to the parties, were as sacred to the Puritans and no more to be lightly profaned than the solemn ritual of their fathers, which they bad rejected as savoring of Popery and elevating marriage into a sacrament;and when, in the next generation, the ministers began to assume the practice of performing the mar riage ceremony, there can be no doubt that jregarded their simple service as substan y holy and deserving all the reverence ever'claigieci for any Protestant ceremony of the-kind.' 'He continues: i_ "How,,then, wasit that •Parson Hobart; in 1748, could put his Episcopal brother ,to the blush for profaning the marriage service in the manner alleged, unless the more nu cotninodating spirit of his own: Sect . enabled him to adaptits formulas at . discretion to the cases which came before him? .The inference is obvious, and Sustains the tradition that in Massachusetts the marriages of slaves, while they were unquestionably more formal in some cases.than merely 'jumping a-broom stick,' had in reality little more practical sig nificance in their obligations, limited as these were in extent and duration by the necessary conditions of Fervitude. This tradition is now corroborated by contemporary documentary evidence, which proves beyond doubt that the kind'of wedlock in which Sambo and Dinah,' Pompey. and Chloe, became nominally hus bands and wives under' Jilassaahusetts laws, was very uncertain and precarious, and its religious celebration in very truth a 'solemn farce.' "One of the most accomplished historical scholars in the country, Mr. J. Wingate Thornton, of Boston, has recently discovered the form of negro marriage prepared and used by the Reverend Samuel Phillips, of Andover, Massachusetts, whose ministry there, beginning in 1710 and ending with his death in 1771, was a prolonged and eminently distinguished serviet of more than half the eighteenth century. His immediate successor was the Reverend Jonathan French (1772- 1bOU) Ili the family of whose son Mr. Thorn ton sound the document at North Hampton, N. IL, on the 31st of December, 1868. lam indebted to his liberal courtesy for the oppor tunity to make use of it at the present time. "Is is copied exactly from the original now before me, and the italics are as marked by the author himself, whose work could cer tainly have been none other than of the most approved and orthodox pattern.

"'You R:, do now, in ye presence of God, and these Witnesses, Take 5: to be your Husband; " Promising, that so far as your, present Relation, milk Servant, shall admit, you will Perform the Part of a Wife towards him; And in particular; "'You Promise, that you will Love him ; And that, as you shall have the Opportty & Ability, you will take a proper Care of him in Sickness and Health; in Prosperity & Ad versity : "'And that you will be True & Faithful( to him, and will cleave'to him only, so long as God; in his Providee' shall continue his & your Abode in Such Place (or Places) as that you can conveniently come together : —Do You thus Promise ?

Both these con ditions were of course determined by the owners." FAILANCIZ. The Approaching; French Elections. [From the Pall Ball Gazette, Fob. 2/1 There are already symptoms that the elec toral struggle which will probably take place in France about the month of April next will be conducted very much like our own, at least as regards the rough , work attendant on a personal canvass. When the suffrage was limited in France the position of candidate was not altogether a sinecure. The most in fluential portion of the constituency had to be visited, except in the case of the voters se lecting some popular statesman; for example; Royer Collard was returned for seven col leges without ever leaving Paris or appearing once on the hustings. With universal But; frage, however, all personal canvassing came to an end. The change was so abrupt that the voters did not appreciate the power placed in their hands. The local wire-pullers or the government selected a candidate and the constituents voted blindfold. This was the rule throughout nearly the whole of France, the great cities alone giving any evi— dence of independence. A few placards and circulars were all that was required, and till some months ago it was unlawful to hold a meeting. These happy days for the French deputy appear to be rapidly vanishing. There is a young Republican element eager for ad mission to the Corps Legislatif,and confident in success. A year ago half the electors in France were ignorant of everything the government de sired should be kept secret, and the peasant seldom saw any paper but that authorized by hie Prefect. Now he can indulge his fancy and choose his own line of politics after studying the views of all parties. Whatever may be the result of the forthcoming elections in France it is certain that the candidates will not be accepted on the same eatiy terms for themselves as before; they will have to sac rifice time and show themselves if they de sire to secure seats. Even •now, while the present Parliament is holding its last session, numerous independent gentlemen who as— pile to the honor of sitting in the Lower EVENING BULLETIN- 'II Ai IURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1869. ;"ofiamber. „ire sounding the voters. Tue !struggle,will be fierce between the opposition and government, and the Were will is a great-measure depend on the tactics ; adopted by various sections opppsett to personal ;government. By some it rs proposed that where the government candidatelsltho strong to be resisted single-handed;.the differences between' other parties shell ,14 - effaced, that the legitimist, Orleanist, dernociat'and repub lican shall join to overthrow the imperialist candidate. Fortunately for the 'Oovernment; this plan, which has M. Prevpst-Paradol for one of its advocates,ia vigorously opposed by a portion of the democratic press, The chiefs of the opposition appear to think that they will have .fiftY seats m ' the nest : Parliament, and that , there will bea ,great number of independent Members' who will form a diem pargi favorable to the present dynasty in connection with liberal measures. A large number of opposition candidates will take the field. Several men who hitherto lived in what may be termed voluntary exile are coming back to France and addressing constituencies. For 'instance, M. Pascal Do prat, one of the members of the Provisional governMent, has left SPain and appeared in the South, where he has met with a reception which leads him to reckon on being sent up to the Parliament. The government has at its disposal a vast 'organization; all the bribery and corruption in the shape of public work dangled before the eyes of submissive constituencies are in the hands of the authori ties, who, however, will have a hard battle to fight against not merely the Democrats but the "ancient partie," the protectionists and other lukewarm friends. ; • Curious scenes at Bryan, Sight Hun dred Miles West elf Omaha. "Carleton" writes to the .Boston Journal the following account of the present terminus of the Union Pacific Railway—the town of Bryan, eight-hundred miles west of Omaha: The United States at the present time can exhibit one thing not 'to be found in any other country—a Pacific Railroad town. By that we do not mean ,a town like Omaha, which is an old established city,* but one of the mushroom places which grow up in a night, last a week or two, and then are torn down and moved on to another logality. The railroad is pushed forward so ',fast:and the terminus changed so often, ,that , ti town only gets under way before it is pulled down and sent forward to a new place.: Yon can find houses at the present terminuSißryan, eight hundred miles west of Omaha, which have been put up and taken down lifteettor twenty times. The people 'who Hire in them are American Arabs. They are not only nomads, ever on the move,•,but , they„, can steal and plunder as adroitly and with araittle compunc tion of conscience as their .hrethren the. Bedouins. Civilization and-Ciiiiiitianity have not refined or softened theirdnliumati nature. Let me not be understoortto sarthat evert man in one of these railroad towns is a vil lain, or a blackleg; on the contrary, honest Men are to be found who,, after bearing pa tiently with ruffians till Patience ceases to be a virtue, and there being no law or order, or organised society,, take matters into their own hands and become a terror to evil-doers. When some flagrant crime has been com mitted—murder or stesnisinition—these law abiding men purify the place by hanging the murderers to the nearest tree, or if no tree is near, they extemporize a gallows by tilting up the tongue of a wagon, and sending the ruffian into eternity before the" body of his victim is cold. Such sudden punishment is like lightning on a sultry day—pin - filling and invigorating. It was late in the evening when we entered the new town of Bryan, then about two Weeks old. We rode up a wide street, bright with lights flaming in the windows of the restaurants and Wool* each shopman and barkeeper trying by arrangement of kerosene lamps and colored glasses to outshine his neighbor in his endeavors to attract a crowd. "There was a sound of revelry,"and Bryan had gathered the largest part of her popula tion for a high time. There was such dancing and fiddling, such drinking of healths, shuffling of cards and rattling of dice, as we never saw before. From the dance saloons came the sound of hurdy-gurdies, violins and banjoes, the rattle and clatter of the double shuffle and plantation breakdown,. mingled with shouts •and oaths, the jingling of glasses, as the rude inen.wild with whisky, and ruder women, decked in silks, satins, flounced and rallied, and glittering with trumpery jewelry, went whisking in each other's arms round the room. The railroad company have laid out the town, and are selling lots at high prices. Of course, these lots will have very little value after the road is opened, but the town is built as if there was a lithited amount of hind avail able for a city. The shops and hohses are all crowded together, and if a fire were to break out on the windward side all would go. Here is a town two weeks old, with a population of five thousand ! On every side we hear the sound of 'taws 'and hammers. Here is a man putting up his shop, which he has just brought from the late terminus at Green River. The boards are all numbered like those of a window shutter. He will have it complete in an hour or two, his goods in and ready for trade. Here is a German and hie wife unpacking the chests which contain mugs and glasses. In a few minutes he will have a lager-beer saloon in operation. Yonder a Yankee has established a bakery, building his oven of bricks made on the spot. He is selling hot gingerbread and seed cakes, and has a large pile of bread in one corner, and pumpkin pies on his shelves. The saloons during the day are not much patronized, but are thronged at night. It is n lively town. The whole population live on a small territory, and are dependent wholly upon the railroad for supplies. Were the cars to stop running the community would be brought to the , verge of starvation in a week; but that contingency is not thought of. and this crowd of railroad followers are here to gather up the spoils which pass from the treasury of the company through the workmen into their bands.

Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the. hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free. from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and. injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the bait., giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. 1.

Mr. Nagle introduced an act repealing all laws by which special property is exempted from taxation in Philadelphia. (Except burial grounds.) The following bill was presented : That whenever the existing or future laws of any other State, or of any foreign government, shall require of any life Insurance, trust or an nuity company, incorporated or organized under the laws of this State, and having agencies in ouch . other State or foreign government, or of the agents thereof, any payment of taxes, fines, penalties, certificates of authority, license fees or otherwise, then and in every such case all life insurance, trust, or annuity couttpanies of such States or foreign government, having here tofore respectively established an agency in thts State, shall be and are hereby required to pay to the Treasurer of this Commonwealth for taxes, fines, penalties, certificates of authority, license fees, and otherwise, an amount equal to the amount of such charges and payments imposed by the laWs of such State or foreign government upon the companies aforesaid of this State and the agents thereof.

The bill was referred to its appropriate Com anittee. Afternoon Bession.—The bill providing for the preservation of game was passed; also, the one authorizing appeals to the Supreme Court In change of charters of incorporation. Evening Session. —The joint resolution ratifying the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Consti tution was taken up. Mr. Burnett (Dem.) commenced the discussion, taking the ground that the question should be +submitted to the people, and that if they voted itifavor of it, he would, as a good Democrat, be -satisfied. Congress bad no power to pass such an amendment, nor the Legislature to ratify it, because such power was never delegated by the people, the source of all power. Mr. &aright (Dem.) said negro suffrage is about to be established by a flank movement, under the direction of the military chieftain at the White Rouse. He proceeded to show that the Four teenth and Fifteenth Amendments were antago nistic, and that no party but the Republican , could attempt to indorse such inconsietency. Mr. McCandless (Dem.) said that he considered this the greatest political iniquity ever attempted to be Inflicted upon a people. It was no wonder that Republican Senators were appalled by the' Black Idol they had brought here, and asked why they did not submit the question to the people when such an important change in the organic law was contemplated. He concluded by show ing that there would be a direct conflict between the Federal and State Constitutions. Mr. Davis (Dem.) said it was evident that the Republican Senators were prompted by a pur pose to abstain from speeches, and it was proper that they should, for men committing crime want to do it secretly and rapidly. Democratic Sena tors scorn the terms offered by their opponents, allowing only three hours to debate a resolution to ratify a change in the Federal Constitution, when a change in the State Constitution requires the consideration of two Legislatures and the vote of the people. The Republicans were afraid to submit the question to the people, for they well knew what the result would be. Mr. Lowry (Rep.) commenced his remarks by readingAmortion of hit spe;ecb, made some years ago, in reply , to Mr. Clymer, relative to negro suffrage In the District of Columbia. Ho then said that in all moral and religious questions there is no reason to submit to the voje of the people; for. as he had said:on a previous,occasion, there were more votes in'aliarrel of Whisky than in the ten commandments. He declared that the amendment was the sore tray to save the-country from the gulf of perdi tion, and to do Justice to the African race; which, by it, would be recreated. By it, too, the crown of thorns would be taken from the loyal men of the South... , - Be deemed '; it 'The height of injustice t o . forc the n egio vote on_the South, and dealno to re ceive it in Pennsylvania. Mr. Wallace, (Dem.) denounced the Reptlblkon Senators for obeying the will of their cau cus, as determined . at a night meeting, instead of heeding the viewtt orfour hundred thousand con stituents on a question that concerns every citi zen of the present and of unborn generations. He, then,. at length. proceeded to show that the sovereignty of the Republic war" not in the State, or in the United States, but In the people; and that tbe power of sovereignty was not in the Legislature, but in the people, and to them alone, should this amendment be submitted. HO ar gued further that the elevation of the black man to suffrage was the degradation of the white man, and was urged only because the new votcs were a political necessity. During the discussion of the Constitutional Amendment, the Senate Chamber was densely crowded with citizens, strangers and members of the House. The Republican Senators, except Lowry,gcnerally refused to speak upon the ques tion, and it was understood that they took this course by the advice of a Republican caucus held last evening. • The agreement had originally been to come to a vote at ball past nine o'clock, but when' that time arrived the speakers were allowed to con tinuo. At eleven o'clock the vote Nes' taken, and the joint resolution was passed to second reading by a party vote of 18 Republican yeas to 15 Dem ocratic nays. The bill comes up on final passage to-morrow. Adjourned. idoesn.—A Senate bill, as follows, was passed: "Tbat so much of the fourth section of the act of 2d February, 1854, as prohibits any member of Councils, during the term for which he shall be elected,bolding any office or employment created or provided for of a municipal character, be and the same is hereby repealed. That no Canned man shall hereafter hold any office or employ ment in the choice of eald Councils during the term for which he shall have, been elected, nor bold any city or county office in the choice of the people while serving as member." Senate bill exempting the properties of the Young Men's Christian Association, St. Joseph's Hospital and Penn Widows' Asylum from taxa tion, was passed. A divorce bill (McGill vs. McGill) was con sidered, and a discussion took place about the propriety of baying the testimony read, It being of a scandalous character. It was finally read, but before acting upon the bill the Rouse ad journed, Ertning Session.—The following House bills were passed : Urging Congress not to grant any land subsidies; authorising the appointinent,of Commissioners to survey the southern boundary of the State. II he internal Revenue Department. Mr. Reines was visited by his clerks yesterday afternoon, and a series of resolutions was pre sented to hint, accompanied by a speech from ttie Deputy Commissioner. The following are the resolutions : We, the officers and clerks of the Bureau of In ternal Revenue, unaelmonsly adopt the following resolutions, as expressing oar feelings and senti ments towards the Honorable Edward Ashton Roll fps; upon the occasion.. of his , resignation - of the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue . Rooked, Iteat the integrity, fidelity, ability and untiring devotion to the dutieti of his office which Mr. Rollins has exhibited, have inspired in us feelings of profound respect for his sterling qualities as a man and an officer, and that we especially admire the geniality of disposition which he has uniformly manifested towards us amid all the cares and perplexities of a difficult and burdensome office, held much of the time and( r peculiarly trying eircumstencea. Reathrect, That we part with him with. sincere regret, arid tender tdm our grateful acknowlede meets for his uniform kindness and , courtesy in his official and personal relations with us during his long connection with the office as Cashier, Deputy Commissioner and Commissioner. It , solred, That our best wishes accompany him in his retirement from the public responsibility which he has fearlessly encountered and faith fully discharged, and as a final expression of our nest wishes, we oust he may long live to add a new field of labor and usefulness to the noble reputation he has already achieved. _1 The lady clerks connected with the office having heard the foregoing resolutions, presented by the gentlemen, not only desire to express their entire concurrence in the sentiments therein ex pressed. but also do hereby resolve, that, while - { they thus acknowledge their appreciation of the uniform courtesy, kindness and sympathy of their departing chief, they would not forget that his • face is turned in a direction which invites peace, quietness and repose. Hence to their expression of cherished esteem, of mingled sorrow and grate ful acknowledgments, they Would add their best wishes for his future prosperity and happiness. Resolred, That the foregoing resolutions be en grossed, and after signature by the officers and clerks of the Bureau, be suitably framed for pre sentation to Mr. Rollins. i Signed I J. DLELE, Chairman. A. R. Jorresose Secretary. In response to the compliment, Mr. Rollins made the following speech: My friends, I thank you for your kindly feelings towards me,and the warm and generous language of Its expression. The true quality of apparent friendship is best tested when those professing it are about to separate, and the approval or disap proval of one's own household. or of those with whom he has been long and intimately associ ated, has a deeper significance than the hollow words of strangers. It is almost six years since I came to this office, and almost unknown to every one of you. Your number has increased with the necessity of the 1 e vice; some have found other and more desires G employment elsewhere; a few have been re- . iced by the action of tbo department; some whom we much deplore have died; but the faces of many whom I first saw .un the morning of the 9th of April, 1863, have grown more and more familiar and dear to me down to the present hour. What ever measure of success attended the discharge of my duties is mainly attributed to the counsel, the fidelity, and the labor of the officers and clerks associated with me in their discharge. The office of Commissioner, as suggested in your resolu tions, has for the last two or three years been crowded with annoyances and embarrass- 1 ments, as well as responsibilities. The in terests of the revenue have been . sserificed, that an unworthy policy of reconstruction might be foisted upon an unwilling people. Bad men and bid women have controlled Presi dential nominations, while the advice of worthy and trusted leaders of both the - great political parties of the country have been disregarded. The office of Commissioner has been robbed of all power over its subordinates, and the Treasury Departmeni, in all of its ramifications, been re garded as a great place for the distribution of rewards rather than an institution for the proper collection and disbursement of the national reve nue. Was it not for your encouragement and your support, in spite of all the wishes of good men and of my own conviction of duty, sick at. heart and weary from excessive toil, I must have retired from this place before the appointment of a successor approved by the Senate. Through your aid I have been enabled to carry the office through the troubles and perils of the last administration, and• deliver it over to one whom I have known for years only to esteem,for whom I proposed long since to retire, and who I know enjoys your confidence and that of the country.' The office, as I have reasons from President Grant for believing, will now be re clothed with the power it once exercised, and the country has abundant reason for believing that the expectation of pardons will not here after stimulate violations of the revenue law under the new administration. Under the now administration I shall look for less fraud, more revenue, and the restored confi dence of the people in the institutions of our government. The future is veiled to us, but though our pathways shall seldom again pass each other in this world, if we shall listen to the admonitions of conscience, and the teachings of inspirations, heroically the while doing with our might what our hands find to do, when our journeyings are all ended, and the veil is lifted, wo shall be together, and be at peace. God grant ' that this may be so. THE DAILY: EVE itIIIZETINt-PHIL.4O.ELPHIA I THURSDAY, WWII 11, 1.869.0, ; lens Hs' sin esta rl ifletorto.,costarress.

Meeers. Thayer, Edmunds, Carpenter and Sumner spoke earnestly in favor of immediate action. These measures, some' Senators think, will occupy at least one month, and after that time the Senate will remain some time in Execu tive session, to act on appointments and treaties. The caucus also agreed to elect Senator An thony President of the Senate pro tempore, as Vice President Colfax has privately given notice that be intends leaving Washington next Tues day ; and it was further agreed to go into an elec tion next Monday for Secretary, Sergeant-at- Arms,.
