-In relation to Dr. Paul Schoeppe, the fol
lowing appeared in the Prei Passe, of this
city, yesterday :,
From the . reports of European newspapers
we have' seen .that the person who is here'
charged with murder by poison, Dr. Schoeppe,
is identified with a certain person of the saute
name who has 'from Germany a bad record.
We. tfietAindersigned citizens, emlgrated to
this country from Germany, do hereby de
clare that such assertion in European
papers is based upon a mistake in re
gard to the respective persons. We know Dr.
Schoeppe personally from Germany, and, from
reliable sources, to be a thorough, respectable
and honorable man, who is free from the
charges preferred against the person for whom
he is mistaken. We feel in duty bound to de
clare this in accordance with truth, and re
-oest you to publish this, our statement, in
your valuable paper.

The League island Navy Yard.Speeeh
or lion. Charles O'Neill.
During the debate in the House of Repre
sentatives yesterday, on the bill transferring
the 'Navy Yard to League island, lion. Charles
O'Neill said:
The map before me would seem to indicate
that the land below the existing Navy Yard
can be very easily acquired for the purpose of
enlarging the yard.
..ir. Kelley—Since the Commission to which
the gentleman refers made that recommenda
tion, the between the present Navy Yard
and League Island has been purchased by the
,heaviest corporation in Pennsylvania, with the
view that the great Pennsylvania Central Rail
road may have its terminus at the wharves
along there; and that land cannot now be ac
quired at any price.
So much for that point. Now,,sir, one word
as to the statement that, in order to get a good
foundation at League Island, piling will be tie
necessary to the depth of sixty feet. if the
entleman will refer to the o cial report made
l c
by the scientific men appointe l to examine the
soil at that location, and who eported its char
aeter at various depths three feet apart, send
ing to the Wavy Departnient specimens, of the
earth found in each case, he will lied that in
stead of League island being a mudbank—in
stead of the soil being alluvial,, it is part of
the main land and furnishes as good wells of
water as are to be found in the city of Phila
delphia.
31r. O'Neill continued—l do not wish to
consume the time of the House unnecessarily,
after the remarks of my colleague, the Cirair
man - of the Committee on Naval Affairs (Mr.
Scofield), bat 1 wish to reply to a few of the
objections made to this bill by my friend from
Wisconsin (Mr. Washburnc). All the objec
tions to accepting League Island as a naval
station. were answered in the Thirty . -ninth
Clfilf , ritti. which_nassed the act authorizin the
phia made this offer In geed faitb,and by it 'the
country is no* poss , issiou of the
'which comprises some •six hundred acres.• It
is hardly necessary for me•to state the cost in
curred by the city In acquiring the title to this
land.
That is not the question to-day ; ,but I. will'
say in passing that the amount paid originally
was $300,000. The act of acceptance required
that the city of Philadelphia should ghre a clear
and indisputable title to the island, before it.
passed into the hands. of the Government.
Subsequently; however, It was ascertained that
for the more perfect occupation of the-island
itself for naval, purposes` it was necessary that
the Government should have a clear title to a
little more land than that embraced within its
limits; hence the city, without any hesitation,
and at an expense of over fifty thousand dol
lars, making the Whole cost over three hundred
and thousand dollars, purchased a narrow
strip of land running south along the
bank of the main land north of League
Island' and cross the back channel, so as to
give the Government jurisdiction over sufficient
territory for guarding the approach to this
naval station. - •
This strip of land, included in the gift at the
suggestion of the Government, made the dona
tion more valuable, and secures forever more
than six hundred acres, upon which to build a
naval station as rapidly as this Congress and
other Congresses may see fit to mak appro
priations, nearly the whole amount of which
will be returned to the Treasury upon the sale
of the ground now occupied by the present
Navy Yard. As' I have already said, the
Thirty-ninth Congress—and I wish my friend
from Wisconsin had been in it to listen to the
discussion of the natter—considered all the
objections which are now raised by the decision
of that Concrbress
•
These questions were, I think, settled for,-;
ever. I will here say that the mud bank to
which he refers is all the creation of hiSlima-'
gination from the prejudices of those from
whom be thinks he has obtained reliable infor
mation. Most of this. island is fast land, and
those who have been upon and examined it
know this tact. The back 'channel, of which'
mention has been made, will require very little
deepening to make• it of sufficient depth to ac
commodate the largest iron-clad vessels now
under the jurisdiction of , the Navy Depart
ment. ,
The bottom ()kills back channel, like that
of the Delaware river in front of League
Island; is of mud—the best bottom for a river
Where a navy yard is located, for, a rocky
bottom tears, off the metal sheeting upon' the,
vessels and 'does them other damage. The'
Delaware river in front of League. Island has
a depth of twenty-four feet at low water,
and the back channel some sixteen feet. In ,
reply to the gentle Man from Wisconsin, I will
say further, that I know something about .this
locality, for League Island is in. the Congres
sional District which T have the Minor to
represent. it is not an unhealthy location; it
is healthy. The people in that neighborhood
are among the healthiest of my constituents.
It is not the low, uncultivated land he de
scribes it to be. it is not a. mere reclaimed
marsh. If he will refer to the reports on file hi
the Navy Department be will find just the con
trary to be the case, and he will ascertain that
the Thirty-ninth Congress was fully informed
of all the excellencies and conveniences of the
location of the island when it was accepted.
More than four hundred acres of the ground
have been used as .ffirm land. Nearly two hun
dred and fifty acres have been so used for over
ore hundred and sixty years, and are - culti
vated farms, and upon two hundred more for
sixty years crops have been grown; andevery
thing that can be raised by au agriculturist has
been raised there as successfully as upon the
finest land in Wisconsin or any other State.
knoW these facts. The location is healthy,
the ground is fast ground ; it is good farming
land; It is • not a mere mud bank; there have
been some accretions, as must necessarily, have
been the case, but the main portion of ,the
island, some four hundred and fifty of the six
hundred acres, is as good farm land as is culti
vated in the most fertile regions of our country.
I wish to state a further fact, of which perhaps
the Chairman of the Committee on Naval
Affitirs (Mr. Scofield) was not cognizant, and
that is the land upon which - the present navy
yard is now located consists of some twenty
acres in the bhilt-up portion of the city of
Philadelphia, and it was valued by the Board of
Tax Revision of the city one year ago at
$350,000.
That is the amount of money the Govern
ment will secure for the construction of the
new yard.
•• Mr. DaviS—ls - not the laud growing more
valuable every day ?
Mr. O'Neill—Well, sir, that may be; but
the Navy Department now proposes that we
transfer the Philadelphia Navy Yard to League
Island. If we pass the bill before us, we not
only authorize the transfer, but provide for the
sale of the old location. We believe it worth
V 50,000, and by passing the bill we put - the
Governinent in the way of selling this valuable
property, thus realizing for it -au amount which
will go far in balancing such appropriations
as this Congress and its successors -might
make for League Island.
• . We are actually and in effect taking nothing
from the Treastuy. The bill does not suggest
am appropriation at this time, but a transfei.
The friends 01' League Island will, of course,
urge the'establishment upon it, of such a naval
station as will command the admiration of the
world, and will, when completed, be
,unsur
passed in its construction as well as its most
wonderful location. This gift of the - city 'of
Philadelphia is priceless to the Government,
and - when we have, by just and liberal appro
priations, finished our great naval station for
, iron-clads, the country will be proud of its
work-and rejoice that the Thirty-ninth Con
gress accepted the munificent offer of the six
hundred and more acres.
The Metropolitan Police Bill.

Forty-First Congress—Second Session.
In the U. S. Senate, yesterday, 'Mr. Sumner
introduced a bill to authorize the consolidation
of the national debt, and to establish specie
payments. The first section authorizes the
issue of $500,000,000 of five per cent. coin
bonds, redeemable after ten and payable at the
end of forty years, to be exchangeable for 1802
five-twenties, or the proceeds used to redeem
said five-twenties if they are not offered for ex
change. The second section legalizes the issue
of five 'Mildred millions of coin bonds, bearing
four and a half .per cent. interest, redeemable
after fifteen and payable at. the _end of fifty
years, exchangeable for outstanding securities,
or, when sold at par for coin, to be used in re
deeming any obligations falling due. The third
section authorizes the issue of five hundred mil
lions, or as much more as the Secretary of
the Treasury thinks advisable, of four per cent.
bonds of a similar character, redeemable after
twenty and payable at the end of sixty years.
The bill increases the bank note currency
from three hundred millions " to
five hundred millions, providing
that one dollar of legal tenders be withdrawn
and cancelled for every dollar of additional.
bank currencYlasned. The security of the cur
rency is provided for by obliging banks to de
posit $lOO of bonds for $BO of notes, When
the premium on gold fallS to within five per
cent., legal tenders of all sorts are par for cus
toms, and the interest on the three per cent.
certificates is to cease at the same time. Mr.
Sumner adVocated these propositions in a long
and able speech, urging the reduction of taxes
and the spreading of the payment of our na
tional debt over succeeding generations. Mr.
Sumner concluded his speech in the following
words : "hi presenting this series of measures •
I am penetrated by the conviction, if adopted,
they cannot fail to bring all the national obli
gations to a par with coin, and then specie pay
ments will be resumed without effort. Our
bonds will be among the Most popular in the
market. No longer below par, they will con
tinue to advance, while the national credit lifts
its head nnimpeached, unimpeachable. Under
this influence the remainder of our outstanding
debt may he refunded in fifteen
fifties at four and a half per cent.,
If not in twenty-sixties at four per
cent. There will then be sixteen hun
dred and twenty-five millions refunded at
an average of less than four and a half per
cent., and the whole debt, including the irre
deemable sixes oflBBl, at an average of less
than five per cent., while all will be within our
control five years earlier than in the, maximum
period proposed by the Secretary of the Trea
sury. This rate is lower than that of any
liuropean government, unless we except Eng
land. and Switzerland. The latter Power has
obtained a loan of two and a half millions re
cently at four and a half per cent. The recent
French Rentes,which found such favor at three
per cent. nominally, were uttered at prices
varying from sixty-five to sixty-eight; so
that one thousand millions of obligations rep
resented six hundred and fifty or six hundred
and eighty millions of money actually paid,
making the annual cost to the government
1 - Inore than five per cent. It would be easy to
show how other governments have paid much
more. Well may we yet a little longer yield to
England, where wealth is' so surpassing, and to
Switzerland, where economy takes the place of
wealth: The time is at hand when the wealth
of England and the economy of Switzerland
will he less commanding than the unquestion
able resources of our country. One immediate
consequence of these measures would be the
relief of the people from eighty to one hundred
millions of taxation, while there would re
main a surplus revenue of, two millions a
month applicable to the reduction of the debt,
being more than enough.to liquidate the whole
prior to the maturity of the' new ObligatibitS, if
liquidation at 'so early a day. The country
Will breathe freer. business will he more plastic„
life will be esAier, as the assurance goes forth
that no heavy taxation shall •be continued ,in
order to pay the debt in eleven years, as is now.
Proposed, nor in fifteen years, nor in twenty
years. By the present measures, while retain
ing the privilege of paying the debt within
twenty years. we shall secure the alternative
of sixty years, and, at a largely reduced in
terat ; leaving the opportunity of, paying it at
any intermediate time, according to the best
advantage 01 the country. With diminished
taxation and resources increasing im
measurably, the national debt will cease to be
a burden, becoming 'fine
,by degrees' and__
beautifully lesS, until it gradually ceases to
exist. Id' making this statement, I offer my
contribution to the-settlement of- a-great ques- •
tion. If I am wrong what I have said will
soon be forgotten. Meanwhile 1 ask for it '
your candid attention, adding one further- re
mark, with which I shall closes I have never
doubted, I cannot doubt the ease with which
the transition to specie payments can be ac
complished, especially as compared with the
ominous fears which thi& simple proposition
seems to excite in certain quarters. We are
gravely warned against it as a period of crisis.
I do not believe there will be anything to
which this term can be reasonably applied.
Like every measure of essential justice ; it will
at once harmonize with the life of the com
munity, and the people will be astonished at
the long postponement of an act so truly
beneficent in all its influences, so important to
the national character and so congenial to the
business interest of the country."
The Virginia bill was taken up, and the
consideration of the amendment .of Mr. Drake,
to prevent . rescinding the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment by Virginia,was resumed.
The amendment of Mr. Drake was opposed
by Messrs. Coaling, Scott, Thurman, (iav•
penter and Warner. Mr. Wilson offered . as
an amendment the bill reported on the pre
vious day by the House Reconstruction Com
mittee. Mr. Edmunds suggested an amend
ment requiring the imposition of - an
oath inthe case of the State
officers, in order that they shall
not be obnoxious to the Fourteenth amend
ment. Mr. Morton gave notice that he would
further amend by declaring in the preamble
that the ratification of the Fourteenth and Fif
teenth amendments be a condition precedent
to the representatiOn. After some discussion,
the Senate adjourned.
The house of RepreSentatives bad under
consideration the Virginia bill. After the
speech of Mr. Farsnsworth, against the test.,
oath clauses, Mr. Paine spoke in support of the
billy and Mr. Morgan iu opposition to it-. No
final action was taken.

JOHN A. FRY,
A KOVAL EXCIIIANtiE.
Addison's celebrated vision of the each ango
of human miseries and vanities is matched by
•what" the Rittirratryßesfete reveals eeticerning.
the exchange'sif Inctitribiances established, by
the London Queen :
The Queen has established in its colutnns'a
mart for the exchange of the personal goods
and chattebs , of Its young-lady ; , subscribers', to
whom by this of,
is opeeed - a vista of end
legs variety in ornaments , and - assumed deco
ration with no , ftirthee - pecuniary disburse
ment than a fewpostage-sfainps ; every article
in their possession acquiring by this,easysneaes
a double valueselts existing purpose, and what
it, will bring in exchange when its pleasure
giving ,pliwers are exhausted. The page, or
pages devoted to thliptirpose constitute a study
not unlike, though needing more assistance
from the imagination, a veritable market
spread 'laver with its wares. Assisted by
this faculty we see a sort of sublithated,
'refined, etherial Itag-fair. It is, to be sure,
against the fitness of this parallel that thee&
tor's rules fOrbid clothes proper as articles of
barter, but the exceptions are such as ; still to
'permit a general similarity of plan and outline.
kihawls, fura and feathers, red, blue and: lilac,
float and flap before the mind's eye with much
the same effect as eowns and ribbits, and in
btith scenes the Sew-Saws and tinsel 'play the,
same part. Itt both -sceneS,'too,' its is incline
tion rather than, ..necessity which,' directs the
customer's wistful gaze,' Whence we ;can form
a fair surmise of what objects are in actual re- ,
quest. And as in this paper-mart there are
few absolute necessities exposed to view, we
can the more readily divine what
are the prevailing objects of desire iu the femi
nine bosom of to-day. Our conclusion is sub
ject to correction, as .it is based on partial
knowledge; but, as far as onr observation goes,'
we are satisfied that first in order among femi
nine longings comes a sealskin jacket. Every
correspondent of the Queers who has not got
one of these tests of toilet sufficiency seems to
be willing to give a considerable share of her
worldly goods , in order to be able to call even a
second-hand one her own. Next in order cer
tainly come earrings.: Earrings are clearly
nearest the heart of all lovers of trinkets. Nor
is this difficult to account for when it is con
sidered that neither the Wearer nor the ph
server loses sight of the face in admiring these .
favorite enhancers of its attractions. The fair
,supporter4of the .Queen are willing to give a
'great deal for earrings. " Open to ofers," says
the damsel spreading her wares, " but earrings
preferred." Even malachite earrings, for
which no face can look the prettier, excite a
longing In some bosoms, as when we, find a
tharm in, the shape of a carved ivory bear of
fered
as an equivalent. Then follow gold
chains and lockets, real or sham, as things
longed for, merging in a miscellaneous crowd
of wants—chains, beads, monkeys, rare postage
stamps, feathers, " eccentrics" and the rest.
We find an offer of two oil-paintings, a box of
chalks, a scarlet plume, a gilt ofivebranch for
sealskin, a black retriever for a sealskin jacket,
a sewing -machine for a sealskin jacket, electro
plate for a sealskin jacket, point lace for a
sealskin jacket, and so on. This is perhaps
the main exception to the general tendency
to exchange useful things, or things
that were supposed useful, for ornamental.
We observe a hurry to get rid of all retnem
branceii of expensive accouiplishments. ' Boxes
of paints for illuminating, "zithers," guitars,
photographic cameras, are offered for the last
new thing in beads, fans, trinkets, charms,
feathers, and crests; or great many good
books" - are tendered as au equivalent for a
dressing-case. The wildest confualon prevails
as to the relative value of the proposed sub
jects of barter—generally, as is but natural, to
the advantage of the proposer; as a steel
chatelaine for a gold chain, a silver bracelet - for
a drawing-room mirror, two pups for a good
horse, a musical-box for sables, I'innock's
(geography for jewelry. Sometimes, however,
the disproportion is the other way, and a
sudden fancy carries it over everything, as
where a Ceylon box of Indian carving is
offered for the inconceivable wants of un
finished slippers and a lame doll; and a com
fortable sofa for hand-screens.
No flight of iniagination could match the
strange combinations with v, inch we here be
come familiar. Fifty songS'and a medicine
chest " are, offered for wmpetition—a very
curious old Bible for a tea-kettle, a rifle for
twelve buff Cochins. Rose-trees for an iron
fire-proof safe; a Latin I)ictionary for a side
saddle; a ten-guinea portmanteau for a parrot;
:Wpm; and Doh.Juan fOr a pair of candlesticks;
which last exchange must be on the t'cr funto
Mare teceat principle. Naturally. this strikes
people as a delightful method of getting rid of
lumber. it takes a long time to learn—some
times it is a lesson never learnt—that rubbish
is rubbish all the world over. These coluinns
show us the shove and imptilsi,.! by which
healthy . human nature strives to fre.3 itself
from an incubus : enlivened by this
hope that somebody will even recognize
a want, in what has hitherto been a nuisance
and incumbrance. It does not do, perhaps,
thus to describe "Black Bee's" "large collec
tion of preserved snakes," but we wish rather
than hope that the otters to which she is open
will come tumbling in. There is no doubt,
however, that Parties about to marry will re
sent the suggestion of a huge piece of Berlin
worsted-work as eligible for a wedding present.
" Mandarin," who wants offers for anti-macas
sar.s-, :nest, we predict, like a great many other
people, "let want be her master." We may,
we trust, say the. same to possessors of savage
feather trimmings; or it would be a serious
matter if such were to come in vogue as wear
ing apparel. The refrain "I want" is the
pathetic note of this utterance of hu
manity—"l want earrings;" "I want a gold
locket ;" "I want so many yards of lace, or
fur, or glass beads;" to which "I have" is set
against. I have such and such gewgaws of
which lam heartily tired. Sometimes the
want is imparted without reasonable hope of
satisfaction, as where we read, "I want a new
silk umbrella." Pets are a favorite article of
exchange, and the wants in this direction are
startling enough. Thus "Beady" wants a
small female monkey. "She must be young
and small, and not have a projecting nose."
For this treasure a freezing machine, a child's
dinner set, and twenty new songs are offered,
and the "tenderest love and care" promised.
Parrots, jackdaws, magpies, are offered for
jewelry, a pet blackbird for a locket and chain,
five feather-legged bantams for a card-table.
Pugs are in demand. A good-tempered South
African cuckatoo is offered for a pug-bitch
puppy. Again; goats for pug puppies. Some
times pets are thrown in with a lump of dis
posable articles. " Two Manx cats, a brass
bound desk, and a chignon comb," or a " New
foundland pup, a lace shawl, and a wedding
ring." The humblest traflickings are ad
mitted in the Queen's columns. " Missori"
offers the .the
operett of Box and Cox,
neatly copied, for earrings. "Linear" is open
to oilers for a new lace veil, " cost three and
ninepence, Otte . new'shape' tint doeS not suit
me." Oue wishes to exchange a paste-ring for
•a fan. , Maria has the song " Will Ho Come"
'new and clean; but again it does not suit her.
" Emim" states with dignified coneiseness, "
have several feathers from a tail of a peacock
—Open to ofterS ;" and the . Queen of the
Roses" proposes a root and branch revolution
in her ornaments. "I. have a white fan, bead
necklace, cock's tail, bone bracelet; I want gilt
vinaigrette, gilt chatelaine, blue necklace, and
large gilt locket." -
We - do not wish in anything we have said to
disparage gilt ornaments if people cannot af-
ford gold.. The common consent of mankind
- will not submit to finery ltkeing regarded as the
exclusive privilege of rank and wealth. All
jewelry is graceful only. in reason'and modera
tion. The evil of shamS" is in the lavish gaudy
profusion they encourage: . Fuller in his age
writes, "In the days of Queen Elizabeth a
person of honor or worship would
have as patiently digested the lie as to
have been told that they did wear &tie
pendants or any counterfeit pearl or jewel
about them, so usual in our age"; and from
that day to this the sentiment ofjewels hashed
to give way to the initerent loird , of .fineiy and
the right to be-fine f a love which• so far does
homage to, truth ,that At would prefer the, real
thing if it could be come by, but in the mdan
while,finds pleasure,in dangles and glitter at a
less cost. After all, tlie , costliest gems AO not
satisfyfor long together in the same combina
tions. 'Skis one of the state Conditions , of
grand matrinionlal alliances that the family dia
monds shall reset, and if even Belinda's
golden bodkin, Miriam:ll 18 it Was, underwent
a transformation with each gene ration, and ,

we eught,not perhaps in reason to resent the
circulation proposed for. modern trinkets.
Whether it can .he iegaided as a feature'of
the utilitarianism of our age admits of doubt.
In so far as it is a- slight, shock to some old
fashioned ideas which prefer to think of gems
and Jewels is gifts,
and as such inalienable,
rather than as the wearer's own; deliberate
purchases, we present the question., to our
readers for generil consideration.

Hair Vigor,
For the Renovation of the' Hair:
The ,Great Desideratum ,of the Age.
A dressing • which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
'for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair, is sooh, restored
to its original `color
and the gloss and
freshness of -.youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and, bald
nem often, though not always, cured
by its"use. Nothing can restore' the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and , decayed.
Bat, such - as, remain. can; be paved for
usefulness by this application. Instead'
of fouling the hair" with a pasty B,edi
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 hair, giving it a rich
glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
