• A QUESTION,
ny MARY L. 131iCIC1ffiiL).
Passing away from the wearyng — strifc,
The battle, sorrow and sin of life,
Have ye wrought your trarth'task well ?
No ! for you grasp in your withen4 hold
The glittering, mocking p ntom, gold;
For this spectre, your n est Ihts were sold,
From birth to the Church-yard's knell.
But, as quaint old Jeremy Taylor says :
"Titers will be enough of mould in the grabs,
And enough of Are in Hell."
Manhood! your's is a glorious trust;
Are youlnithful, earnest, wise and ?
Does respect your presence greet?
Or is sensual pleasure your only care ?
Do the vilest your midnight orgies share,
Where With bloodshot eyes and idiot glare,
The Angel of Death you'll meet ?
Test reeling on to the unknown land,
Before a spotless Judge to stand
Blind at the Judgment seat.
Woman, frivolous, weak and vain,
With gaudy dress, and empty brain,
Is your pathway to Heaven secure ?
For glittering baubles and poor display,
Yon haVe thrown the love of your hearts away,
And closed for another hope's heavenly ray,
Because the man was poor.
Ton sneered at affection's holy claim,
And sent him to herd with sin and shame,
To the Wanton's worthless lure.
Is there not for us all some higher need
Than eating and drinking, dress and greed?
. ' Locus study Nature's lore,
And what science through Nature's truths has
;told.
Live with the noble minds of old,
~And well Leap that " Wisdom is better than gold"
If we read the Bible o'er;
;"And purer aims for life we'll find,
4 far it is not body, but soul and mind,
That we take to the spirit shore.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
HE HOARD OF A VIVID RISMORY.
WILAT If IBS Ai ARTINEA i) RECOLLECTS OF ENO-
LISA SOCIETY
We have already published, from English
sources, selections from Miss Martineau's
'biographical Sketches"—the,tartest,keenest,
brightest collection of ana published for many
is long day. The book is shortly to be issued
for American readers by Leypoldt & Holt,
who will bring it out in handsome form, with
marginal references. We proceed to copy
other interesting extracts, premising that the
Memoir's in question were mostly written
during the lifetime of the subject, and fur
nished—with fatal promptitude and too little
revision—to the London Daily _News upon
the death of the person described. The
wounds inflicted by this habit of Miss Mar
tineau's were many and painful; but they
were felt more deeply in the instant of bereave
ment than they can be now, and for this and
other reasons she is right in deciding to pub
lish the material without change. "It was
evident to me," says the writer in her final
way, "at the first glance over my material,
that the sketches must be presented unal
tered." The profiles in Miss Mit
ford's gallery are taken from the
life, are inflexibly true to what she believed
she saw, and convey a strong impression of
honesty joined with insight. One -tenth of
the sitters are living, or were when the
Sketches were published; as for the remainder,
bliss "Pahlavi thinks, hor opinions are excused
from any modification by the fact of death.
As the impression was final, the first record
of it should remain untouched in order to
remain faithfuL She therefore simply repro
duces the Sketches, making no other change
than in the headings announcing the death
in each case. For convenience of reference,
and for the sake of something like order in
the presentment of materials so various, the
personages are classified. In each group,
however, there is no other precedence than
the date of departure.
Forty-six persons undergo Miss Mitford's
scrutiny, divided into the categories of
Literary, Scientific, Professional, Social,
Political and Royal celebrity. They are the
flower of English public life during the last
fifty years; the sketches were begun in 1852.
We commence our extracts with Miss
Martineau's first character—that Becky Sharp
without venom on the sharpness—
AMELIVL OPIE
She sang finely—ballads sung with heartfelt
impulse and pathos, and without accompani
ment. Those who. as children, heard her sing
"Laid Illlin's Daughter," will never forgot it.
They cannot now read the "Come back" of that
ballad, without feeling again the anguish con
veyed in those heart-rending tones. The Prince
Regent heard them. He went to a supper some
where to hear Mrs. °pie sing—not long before
the change which stopped her singing every
where but beside her old father's chair. When
she begun to grow elderly, Amelia °pie became
divots. Her life had been one of strong excite
ments ; and nearly she loved excitement: and
there was a promise of a long course of stimula
tion in becoming a Quaker, which probably im
pelled her unconsciously to take the decided stop
which astonished all her world. During Mr.
Ople's life, excitements abounded. After his
death, and when her 'mourning was over,
she wrote little novels, road them to
admiring friends in Norwich, who
cried their eyes out at the pathetic scenee,ruad
in her dramatic manner, and then she carried,

Ste Wart's carriage appeared, and made a great
clatter in the narrow streets of Norwich; and the
Old gentleman was watched into Dr. Alderson's
house; and the hours were counted which he
spent, it was supposed, at Mrs. Ople's feet.
But it came to nothing. For a
While she continued her London visits, and her
proud father went about reading her letters about
her honors. But she suddenly discovered that
all is vanity. She took to gray silks and muslin,
and the "thee" and "thou;" quoted Habakkuk
and Micah with gusto, and set her heart upon
preaching. That, however, was not allowed.
Ber Quaker friends could never be sufficiently
sure how much was "imagination," and how
ranch the instigation of "the inward witness,"
and the privileged gallery in the chapel was
closed against her, and her utterance was con
fined to loud sighs in the body of the Meeting.
She tended her father unremittingly in his de
cline; she improved greatly In balance of mind
and evenness of spirits during her long
and close intimacy with the Gurneys, and
there never was any doubt about her beneficent
disposition, shown by her family devotedness, no
less than by her bounty to the poor. Her ma

of the ancient city, and her bright face was seen
• lighting up the most wretched abodes. The face
never lost its brightness, nor the heart its youth

FLIT •NORTIL
His moods were as various as those of the
Mother Nature ho adored. In 1815, when all the
rest of the world‘was in the dark about the Scotch
novels, he was in excessive delight - at receiving
from William Laidlaw, the evidence that Colonel
Mannering was Scott himself; and deep in pro
portion was his grief when be saw that genial
mind going out. The trembling of his mighty'
voice when he paid his tribute to Scott's genius
at the public meeting after his death moved every
heart present. He could enter into the. spirit of
Lake scenery deeply with Wordsworth when
floating on Windermere at sunset; and he could,
as we see by Moore's Diary, imitate Wordsworth's
monologues to admiration under the lamp at a
jovial Edinburgh supper-table. Ho could collect
as strange a 'set of oddities about him there as
ever Johnson or Fielding did in their City lodg
ings; and he could wander alone for a week along
the trout streams, and by the mountain tame of
Westmoreland.
THE ORONTES.
Bow terrible some of their - experience of life
was, in the midst of the domestic freedom and
indulgence afforded them by their studionsfather,
may be seen by the fearful representations of
masculine nature and character found in the
novels and tales of Emily and Ann. They con
sidered it their duty, they told us, to present life
OS they knew II; and they gave us "Wuthering
Beig.hts," and "The Tenant of Midden Hall."
Such an experience as this indicates is really per
plexing to English people in general; and all that
we have to do with it is to bear it in mind when
disposed to pass criticism on the coarseness which
to a certain degree pervades the works of all the
sisters, and the repulsiveness which makes the
tales by Emily and ADD really horrible to people
who have not iron nerves.
MRS. WORDSWORTH'S "INNOCENT INSOLENCE. "
It was so unlike Mrs. Wordsworth, with her
kindly, oheery, generous turn, to say that a green
field with buttercups would answer all the pur
poses of Lancashire operatives, and they did not
know what to do with themselves when they
came among the mountains, that the innocent in
solence could do no harm. It became a fixed
sentiment when she alone survived to uphold it;
and one demonstration of it amused the whole
neighborhood in a good-natured way. "People
from Birthwaite" were the bugbear—Birthwaite
being the end,Otthe railway. In the summer of
1857,Mr5. Wordeworth's companion told her (she
being then blind) that the?& were some strangers
in the garden—two or three boys on the Mount,
looking. at the view. "Boys from Birth waite,"
said the old lady, in the well-known tone which
conveyed that nothing good could come from
Birthwaite. When the strangers were gone, it
appeared that they were the Prince of Wales and
his companions.
IHACACI.AT
The child Of a philanthropist, Thomas Maeaulay
wanted heart; this was the one deficiency which
lowered the value of all hls other gifts. He never
suspected the deficiency himself; and be might
easily be unaware of it; fer he had kindliness, and
for anything we know, a good temper; but of the
life of the heart he knew nothing. He talked about
it, as Dr. Blacklock, the blind poet, wrote descrip
trots of scenery—with, a complete conviction
that he knew all about it; but the actual expe
renco was absent. From the eclectic character
of his mind it has been said that Macaulay
thought by proxy. This was in the main true;
but it was more remarkably true that he felt by
proxy.
As a talker, his powers were perhaps unrivalled.
It was there that he showed what he could do
without the preparation which might, if it did
not, insure the splendor of his essays and his
oratory. At the dinner-table he poured out his
marvellous eloquence with a rapidity equalled
only by that of his friend Hallam's utterance.
He talked much, if at all; and thus it was found
that it did not answer very well to invite him
with Jeffrey and Sidney Smith. Jeffrey c:Hild sit
silent for a moderate time with serenity. Sydney
Smith could not without annoyance. Both had
had three years of full liberty (for they did not
I interfere with each other) during Macaulay's
absence; but he eclipsed both on his return. After
sonic years, when his health and spirits were de
clining, and his expectations begun to merge is
consciousness of failure, he sometimes sat quiet
on such occasions, listening or lost, in thought,
us might happen. It was then that Sydney
Smith uttered his celebrated saying about his con
versational rival: "Macaulay is improved! Yes,
Macaulay is improved! I have observed in him
of late bashes—of silence!"
MACAULAY'S HISTORY.
The sober deciriou already awarded by Time
is that the work is not a History; and that it
ought never to have been so called, while the
characters of real men were treated with so little
regard to truth. Of praise and profit Macaulay
had his fill, immediat ly and tumultuously; and
openly and heartily he enjoyed it. But the cri
tical Impeachments which followed must have
keenly annoyed him, as they would any man
who cared for his honor, as a re;ater of facts,
and a reporter and judge of the characters of
dead and defenceless men. Failing health added
its dissuasion to industry. He became subject
to bronchitis to a degree which rendered his
achievements and his movements uncertain. He
was once more elected for Edinburgh fah's ab
sence; and it was on this return to the House
that the rush to hear him was so remarkable a
spectacle. He spoke seldom; and men
felt that their opportunities would henceforth
be few. Before his retirement from the House of
Commons In 1856, he was the mere wreck of his
former self. His eye was deep-sunk and often
dim, his full face was wrinkled and haggard; his
fatigue in utterance was obviously very great:
and the tremulousness of limb and feature melan
choly to behold. In 1857 he was raised to the
Peerage; a graceful compliment to literature.
Macaulay'e was mainly an intellectual life,
brilliant and stimulating, but cold and barren as
regards the highest part of human nature. As
in his tistory there Is but one touch of tender
ness—Henrietta Wentworth's name carved upon
the tree—so in his brilliant and varied display
of power in his life, the one thing wanting is
heart.
IJR-9. JAMISON'S MARRIAGE
And here it's best to say the little that should
be said about the marriage of the parties. Mr
Jameson was a man of considerable ability and
legal accomplishment, filling with honor the
poets of Speakerof the House of Assembly of
Upper Canada rind the Attorney-General of the
Colony: and he is spoken of with respect by his
personal friends in England; but the marriage
was a mistake on both ,sides. The husband and
wile replanted almost immediately,and for many
years. In 1836, Mrs. Jameson joined her hus
band at Toronto; but It was for a very short
time; and they never met agate. This is all that
the world has any business with, and this chief
interest to the world, even that tar, arises from
the effect produced on Mrs. Jameson's views of
lite and love, of persons and their experience, by
her irksome and unfortunate position duriug
desolate wedded life of nearly thirty years. Mr.
Jameson died in 1854.
HUM.IIOLUT'S COURT LITE.
He was in England in 1826. He was then re
lorded as an elderly man—being fifty-seven years
old—and notorious for a quarter of a century. But
he was just about to make trial of a new mode of
life; sad there were, after that, extensive travels
before him.
He fixed his abode at Berlin, and immediately
became a royal favorite, and coiasequently, a poll.
Belau. He was made a Councillor of State, and
tried his band at diplomacy. But those are not
the things by which he will be remembered; 'and
nobody cares to dwell on that part of his life; ex

that tEe foreign method of rewarding scientific or
literary service by political office seems never to
answer well in practice. In most cases the
practice is simply the spoiling of two things by
mixing them; in Humboldt's case, we merely
forget the political part of his career, which was
the artificial portion of his life, ne it was the nat
ural portion of his brc.ther's. When Alexander
came to England with the King of Prussia,' on
occasion of the baptism of the Prince of Wales,
his appearance in the royal suite gave a sort of
jar to English associations about the _dignity of
science. It was felt that that splendid brow wore
the true crown; and many a cheek flushed when
the sage played the courtier, and had to consult
the royarpleasure about his engagements with
our scientific men, as a lacquey asks leave to go
out. It ie. certain, however, that Humboldt took
kindly to that sort of necessity. Ho was a coop.
tier all over. We see it in his overpraise of all

omission of such names as the Court or learned
classes of Berlin did not wish to hear

who, so far from using his popularity to restore
and establish the principle and method of gov

weakening an political principle, and 'melting
down the whole substance of political conviction,
by his treatment of all groat vitiations, and his
tone in regard to the gravest, as well as the most
transient interests which lay under his hand. By
his levity he made many things easy; by his in

of the grave course of the national life. But he
has done nothing to fit his country, or his party,
or even his nearest associates, for a wise conduct
of national affairs in the time to come. One
reason of the general sorrow for his

what is to come next. We find our

Parliaments, and with no statesman to guide
our destinies, and no such political training as
is needed to bring ont such statesmanship as may
exist, or to supply its place, if absent, with the
conscience, the earnestness, the thoughtful habit
and the temper of deference to human nature and
human interests which go far to supply the need
of genius for public affairs. Lord Palmerston
will be remembered with much admiration and
afl'ection; but for national gratitnde there will he,
perhaps, less occasion and less room as the years
pass on.
Ile eta nut claim the peculiar reverent con
side ration usually paid to old age; but it will
not be forgotten that he worked on to the
eighty-second year of his life, with little relax

best for his country; and the country, always
sensible of his services, is not ungrateful now.
TUE DrCHESS OF KENT, AFTER THE ACCESSION OF
'VICTORIA.
The day at last dawned for which she had lived
FO devotedly for so many years; and it found her
wakeful and prepared. The early eon was shin
lag In, that Midsummer morning—it was before
five o'clock ou the 20th of JEDS—when the doors
of the palace were thrown open to admit the
Primate, the royal physician, and the Lord
Chamberlain, who came to greet the Princess as
Queen. The Duchess and her daughter were
standing ready for the announcement, and pre
pared for the trying traneactione of the day.
From the day when Prince Albert entered upon
the scene, and, yet more,trom the hour when Sir
Robert Peel assumed Lord Melbourne's place as
the Queen's chief adviser, everything brightened
to the Duchess of Sent. The Queen has never
been more heartily cheered than when, instantly
after the first of the silly pistol-shots which were
at one time discharged at her by stupid boys to
make themselves famous, she altered the course
of her drive, and went to in
form her mother of the attempt in person,
before she could be alarmed by the rumor of
it. That was in 1840. The latter years of the
venerable Duchess have been filled with interest
and with cheerfulness by the arrival of a long
succession of grandchildren, by their growth and
expansion into promise of various kinds, and by
the early settlement in life of the eldest. At the
marriage of the Princess Royal, her grandmother
was observed to he much altered, and to be in
very delicate health. She had sustained the
shock of her son's death a year or two before,
and her life had been ou the whole one of wear
and tear which rendered it somewnat surprising
that she should have passed the old threescore
years and ton. Sae accomplished, with little
flagging, the periodical removals to Scotland, the
Isle of Wight, Windsor sad London, which werh
us regularly established for her as for the court,
and, bodily suffering apart, her old age was a
happy one, many of its hours being passed in her
royal daughter's presence. and many more
cheered by the affectionate attentions of her
grandchildren. As for the people of England,
they received her with manifest respect, wher
ever elle appeared; and she must have been `al
most tired of hearing, for many years before her
death, that that respect was;oilered as her due for
the boon she had.conferred on the nation in the
virtues of her daughter. The same thing must be
told once more, however, though her ear is now
dead to human praise. It must be told in
history
We were noticing the other; day the story
"Arne," by the Norway author Bji rnson—a.
tale slight, scintillant and fitful as a firefly,
but worthy to be preserved forever amid the
balm of its native pines and in the hearts of
the Norwegians. Leypoldt & Holt, the
American publishers, now send us another
tale by the same writer, in a tasteful English
trepidation by M. E. Niles. The present
work is the latest of the author, and
was published originally last year. While
we are not sure that it is so per.
feet as "Arne," we are perfectly certain that
those who appreciate the latter will not rest
until they have perused its pages. It

"love-child" who lived alone with a strange,

We receive through Claxton, Remsen
Haffelfinger the following acting editions of
Edwin Booth's raw Richard HI, Macbeth,
Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet;
also The Fool's Revenge and Lady of Lyons.
The necessary cutting is done with great
respect and judgment —Booth always use 9
Shakespeare as Izaak Walton did the frog,
"as though he loved him—that he may live
the longer." The historical remarks, advice
on costume, and notes, attached by H. L
Hinton, are quite learned and_helpful. Each
play forms a well-printed and respectable
looking pamphlet, at 30 cents. Published try
Hurd dr. Houghton.
We were noticing the other day the Mon
street Afarins of Hachette's BibliothNue des
Merveilles. The series seems to be uni
form y excellent. We have just received
from the importers, John Penington & Son,
another volume of the set, illustrating the
whole history of Arms and Armor. The
author is P. Lacombe, and his monogram is
particularly full on the weapons of the
French, from the Gauls down. The neat
and abundant illustrations are a treasure for
the historical painter.
This attractive series is, of course, being
translated. Scribner sends us a couple of
specimens through Claxton, Remsen
Haffelfinger. One is "The Wonders of
Optics," from the French of Marion, by C.
Quin, F. C. S. The other is "Thunder
and Lightning,",by de Fonvielle,translation of
Prof. T. L. Phipson. We think nothing has
ever been devised, in so short compass,
equally adapted to excite the youthful mind
with the wonders of science and art. The
publishers have given us excellent transla
tions by competent, scientific men; the en
gravings, however, have lost moat of their
beauty by the transfer, and It is strange that
Messrs. Scribner & Co. have not purchased
electrotypes of the original plates from
Hachette. The whole series, in French,
forms a respectable library of thirty or more
books, and we sincerely hope Messrs.
Scribner (43 Co. will have them all translated
in succession. •
Few would deny that the Parisians are an
ingenious race, but their ingenuity is perhaps
nowhere more conspicuously displayed than
in devices by which they contrive to show
their political opinions without unpleasant
consequences to themselves. On Sunday last,
one of the "conferences," now so much the
fashion in Paris, was held at the Theatre de
l'Ambigu-Comiquo on "the phenomena of
light;" a subject one would have thought
about as trripolitioal as could well have been
chosen. Not a bit of it. The lecturer, in
order to demonstrate certain theories, pro
ceed to enlarge some photographs of cele
brated persons. Now this being done by
means of a strong magnesium light, all the
theatre, except in the immediate neighbor
hood of the operator, ivas in almost total
darkness. The audience could be heard, not

with a worse reception, if possible, than her

FROM DELAWARE.
iCorreepondesee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
Dovun, Del., March 17, 1869.—The eruption of
the volcano so long threatened in Delaware has
at last actually broken out In the shape of several
tax,bills, , which have been introduced into the
House by the Committee on Ways and Means,
the first of which relates to taxing railroads and
canab in the State.
Owing to the refusal of the P. W. & B. R. R.
Co. Wray the alleged unconstitutional tax of ten
cents on each passenger going over the road
through this State, suit has been entered by the
State to, collect, if possible, said tax. This is all
the tax which has heretofore been exacted from
the road, which in itself has been sufficient to
pay the interest on the State debt and
create a small sinking fund besides.
In addition to the tax thus paid,
the present bill provides for the collection
of an additional tax of per cent. on the
income of the company, and one-fitth of one per
cent. ou the gross receipts and the cash value of
each share of stock held in the State. Each loco
motive is taxed $lOO, each passenger ear $25, and
each, freight car and truck, $lO. The Railroad
Company ivilipay assessments made against the
road, but will collect it from the people of the
State in the way of higher rates for travel and
freight.
Following close upon the heels of this bill
comes another of more general character, im
posing heavy taxes upon the manufacturing in
terests of the State. •
One-half of one per cent. on the gross receipts
of all manufactories is to be collected, and one
fifth of one per cent. is assessed upon the gross
receipts of all descriptions of merchants.
One-half of one per cent. is also assessed upon
the face of all bonds and mortgages. „
The third tax bill introduced taxes National
and State Banks one half of one per cent. on Ow
cash value of each anus of stock held in' such
banks.
The foregoing are the main features of the tax
bills, which , have been so long iu preparation by
the ablest lawyers of the State, who, by the way,
have very magoauhnously exempted themselves
from taxation.
Complaints and remonstrances aro pouring in
from all sections of the State against the enact
:, of such woppressive law. Party lines are
forgo nd a general uprising of the people
is Imminent, . But the State of Ddlawarc which,
before the late war, was free from debt, 'IS now
paralyzed by her folly In showing her sympathy
with those in arms against the General Govern
ment.
The debt under which the Btabris now labon
lug was created for the purpose of paying her
citiiens for staying at home If drafted the BUM of
$2OO, but ntit one so tiny cent was ever given to •
the patriotic eiticen w,hck volunteered hie servicea r
in the hottiothia country's need.: Truly she fans'
sown to the wind and is tkow reaping the whirl
wind.
Anotheirivenue 'scheme :has been introduced
into the Legislature 'in the shape of a 'lottery
grant. It is propeked to charter a lottery com
pony' by - "the payment 'of bonus — of
e 600,000, to be pall to-..the State in forty
seven annual payments •of $15,000 _each,_
end the money thus received is' to be applied to
the paymant'of 'the; State 'bonds' - maturity.
This proposition,' notwithstanding its immoral
tendency? meets- with , such' favorable, support
from the members of.the Legislature, under:the
.pecnliaLflnancial kiLfliculties of the State; that
the prospect of the:passage of the bill is, under
the circumstances, rendered , at least favorable.
Although several revenue bills have been intro
' dined, they are of such an,unpopular character
some
that entirely new planmay yet be devised to
extricate the: State from its unpleasant dlletntna,
but it cannot be done without money, and that
cOmmodity is very scarce in • ' DELAWARE.
The “BussMention , ' or Central asla.
A letter from Bamarcand--"sliken 'Samar
candn—in the loloscow Gazette gives some
Interesting information as' to the latest doings
of the Ruseians in Central Asia. "Samar
cand," says the writer, "may now b9,r 5 :-
garded as a Russian town. It is the -head
quarters of the government of the newly con
qnered district of Zariayshan, whose Gover
nor is Malor-General Abrateoff. The district
consists of two divisions, f3arnarcand and
Katty-Kourghan. In the latter the com
mandant, is Colonel Karghanoff. * *
Nearly all the troops that were under the
command of General Kaufmann are stationed
here." The correspondent then gives a de
scription of kiamarcand, and says that Vara
bery's account is tolerably accurate, except
that there is no large library in the town, and
the stonework of Tamarlane'a throne is
white, and not blue. He adds that permanent
barracks are now being constructed, for the
Russian troops, and that the citadel is so
strongly built that no Asiatic army could
take it. He - praises the enterprising snirit of
the Russian tradesmen who have established
themselves in the town,but complains bittern ,
of their greed for money. "If you only
knew," is his pathetic exclamation, "what
we pay for candles and sugar a pound, and
for wine a bottle r The authorities arcipusily
engaged in establishing a•safe means,oTtom
munication between the principal places in
the district and -Tashkend. "A. fort is being
built on the road between Samarcand and
Yany-Konrghan, and a citadel at Katty-
Kourgban, near the Bokharian frontier.
Hitherto the passage, not only of an army,
but even of small caravans, through what
is called the •hunery steppe' between
Cbynaz and Djuzak (the shortest road from
Samarcand to Tashkend) has been rendered
extremely difficult in consequence of the
want of water. The Russian authorities have
lately dug for wells in this steppe with ex
cellent results. At Monrza-Rabat the well is
eleven arshins (about thirty feel) deep, and at
the first station after Djuzak nine arshins.
The last is well protected with stones, and
yields a large qnantity of water, which is
sweet and pleasant to the taste. * * The
Kirghiz in the vicinity have asked permis
sion of the local Governor to cultivate this
steppe; and if all our plans are realized this
district will soon become populous, and it
will be easy to establish permanent Russian
eanisons both at Samarcand and at Katty-
Kourgban."

Tine Reconstruction of Georgia.
W.LIMINGTON I March 17.—The following Is the
amendment reported by tbh,Judiciary . Comn}ittee
to the bill to enforce the 'Fourteenth Constitu
tional Amendment in the State of Georgia and to
restore to that State the republican government
elected under its new constitution. •
Whereas, The Legislature in the State of
Georgia, elected under its new. Constitution, pre
paratory to the restoration of that State to its
ptoper place in the Union, and to the admission
of Senators and Representatives in Congress
therefrom, has, .in violation of the.
14th amendment of the Constitu
tion of the United States, refused to
'purge itselfof members who by. said amendment
were prohibited from being such members and
from acting as such, and has permitted and con
tinues to permit said members to act as such;
and whereas, a majority ofthe persons in fact
composing said Legislature' has, insiolation of said
Constitution and the Constitution of Georgia,and
in violation of the fundamental principles upon
which Congress consented to the restoration
aforesaid. expelled • from said Legislature a large
'number of tts legally qualitied'uternbers, upon'
the solo ground that they, were persons of
African blood, % and admitted thereto other
persons not receiving a majority of votes ot
the people in their places. i and whereas. it
appears that the local authorities in. said State
are wholly unable or unwilling to protect the
lives, liberties and property of lawful and =-
offending citizens of said State from lawless
violence, and refrain purposely or from
want of power from bringing such., offenders to
justice; whereby it appears that the people of the
State of Georgia have not - complied with the
terms or conformed to the principles upon which
its restoration was provided for, and that the
government thereof is not in fact republican or
regular; therefore.
lie it enacted, 4c., That so much of the act
passed June 25th, 1868, as relates to the State of
Georgia be and the same is hereby repealed.
Sac. 2. And be it further enacted, That the mili
tary government of the State of Georgia, hereto
fore provided for by law, be and the same is
hereby revived, subject to the provisions of
this act.
SEC . 3. That the government organized un
der said new constitution of Georgia shall con
tinue in operation during . the pleasure of Con
gress, as provisional only, and the expulsion of
the members of said Legislature heretofore had,
on the ground that they were of African
descent, is. hereby declared null
and void,and they shall be restored to their seats,
and such as may have been admitted thereto in
their place shall, vacate the same, and no person
shall be permitted to bold a seat in said legisla
ture, or any office under said: provisional govern
ment, who is disqualified by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States.
Sec. 4. That it shall be the duty of - the Presi
dent to cause to be stationed in said State such
part of the hind and naval forces as shall be suf
ficient to carry this act into full execution, and
all officers in command of such forces shall, on
demand of the acting Governor of said State,
render military aid and assistance in the admin
latnition of Govenitrmist - and in the protection of
life and property and the administration of jas

The New 'York Money Market.
iSpecial Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
Esc Torn:, March 17.—The money market is a shade
firmer and more active, though there is no change from
yesto - dare rates. There is no anticipation of a tight
money market at present arising from any sales of gold
by the Treasury. as the currency balance had been aug
tuented nine millions by the transfers to this city from
other quarters. Discounts are dull, ranging from 8 to 10
per cent for prime paper. Gold is strop ,ranging from 1,31%
1a5121.4. The firmness is induced by the lower .quotations
of the boards in London and the possible complication
with Spain growing out of Cuban matters. The races for
carrying range from l to 7 per cent, but most of the loans
are at 4to 5. Governments dull and heavy in conse
quence of the firmness of the gold market, and
the . decline of bonds' in London. There are
a fewoffering which are readily • taken by prominent
dealers. The Stock Market is without any interesting
feature, although strong, with small sales. Northwestern
liallroakshares-are particularly firm, and sold as high as
s 4 for common and 92 for preferred, owing to the in.
creased earnings of_the road,, amounting to
880.635 daring the;second: week of March
over the corresponding week of lest year.
Pacific Mail continues to decline owing to the canoes
stated yesterday. It is now quoted at 943c1., Quicksilver
recovered yesterday's decline and sold up to 21. The
other miscellaneous shares are firm, Reading ranges from
91, e' to 9134. ' -
Geld subsequently fell to 131%1 13136.apparenti . Y.main'Y
in sympathy with the despatch stating that Kr. Wilson
will press his bill for a redistribution - of the Nationel
Bank Currency, and authorizing the bane of 81100.900.00 e
