.Douglas’s Eulogy on Harris.
The following beautiful eulogy on the death
of tho Hon. Thomas L. Haiieis, of Illinois,
was delivered y6sterday, i n •the United States
Senate, by Hon. Stephen’A. Douglas. We
are indebted to an atthntive Wasbington cor
respondent for a copy of .it In time to lay it
before our readers this morning t
Mr. President: For the first time during my
pubiio service, has it beoome my mournful duty to
join in an ofiuial tribute of respect and venera-
Jtion to the memory of a colleague from my own
Btate. - The message from the House of Represen
-■tatiVes has announced to the Senate the death'
of Tbomaa -L Harris, a well-known Representa
tive from*'Hie State of Illinois.' Bis deohnlng
health—the . result .of severe expomres In
thb . military* servieo of his country—had
long since - impressed* upon Mb family and
immediate' friends/the storn necessity of pre
paring their minds and hearts for this affiloting
bereavement. With a constitution broken, and
sinking slowly bat oertainly under an inourable
disease, and while calmly awaiting a result whioh
he was conscious was inevitable and rapidly ap
prbaohlng. be retained and displayed the indomi
table energy, oonrage, 'and fortitude, which had
characterised hlswhole life, and enabled him until
the hour of his death to perform his whole duty to
bis family and, to society—to his State and the
.Union. He died at his home, in Petersburg, Me
nora county, Illinois, on the 14th of November,
1868, ofpulmonary consumption.
The history of Thomas L Harris may be stu
died, and hfs example followed with safety and
honor by the youth of our bOuntry. Bern in Nor
wich, .Connecticut, on the 29 th of October, 1816, he
was only two years of age when his father died,
leav ng him- and a younger brother dependent
upon a widowed mother for support By his own
exertions—with the labor of his own hands—he
obtained the meaUß to acquire an education, and
graduated with oredit at Trinity College, Hart
ford/Conn., in 1841.. Dariog bis senior year in
oollege be beoame a student at law in the office of
Gov..Touoey, now Seoretary of the Navy, and pur
sued his studies with assiduity and suooess In
Deoember, 1841, he removed to Amherst oounty,
-Virginia, where he oontlnned the study of the
law, while teaohlng sohool to obtain the means of
support. 1n'1842 he to the bar in
Virginia/and the same year removed to Peters
burg/ Msnora oounty, Illinois, where ho oom
meDoed.the.prae tics of.his profession, and resided
until the period of his death:
He rose* rapidly in his profession, and had al
ready acquired an enviable reputation as a lawyer,
when the Mexioan war broke out and oallod him
to another field of duty. -In May, 1846, he raised
a company of volunteers and was elected their
captain. ‘ He joined the Fourth Regiment of Illi
nois Volunteers, under the oommana of 001. Baker,
/and, on the 4th of July of that year, was oleotod
major l ,of the regiment. After reaching Mexico,
the ab&cDbe .and, sickness of the colonol and
lioutebant colonel devolved the command of tho
regiment on Major Harris; and in this position he
displayed in an eminent degree the qualities of
the soldier and the officer—courage, energy,
promptitude, and discipline. He soon became
obnsploubas, winning the applause of his superiors
and the confidence and . love of thoso andcr his
command. At Vera Graz, as well as at Cerro
Gordo, after the fall of General Shields, when the
command of the brigade devolved upon Colonel
Baker and that ef the regiment on Major Harris,
in consequence of the siokness of the lieu
tenant colonel, the gallantry of my friend
beoame historical,, as appears by the official
despatches of Gen. Scott,' Commandicg.in-Ohief,
aid those of Major General Patterson and
Colonel Baker. Baring hfs absence in Mexioo
M»jor Harris' was elected by tho people to
the State Senate of Itlinob, notwithstanding
the district had provionsiy given a decided ma
jority, in opposition to tho political party to
whioh he belonged. Returning from the war sar
roundad with honors, whioh hiß fellow-citizens all
t-ok pride in Awarding to him, and which he boro
with & modesty in harm'ony with bis oharaoter, be
again .engaged in the practioo of his profession
with that earnest ness of character wbiob was apart
of his nature. But he had become an objeot of too
much pubiio interest to bo allowed to remain long
in private life. In 1813 bo became the nominee
of tbeßomocratlo party, with which bo was always
.thoroughly identified, for Congress, in a district
which had uniformly given a decided Opposit : on
majority, and was triumphanUy elected upon the
distinct issue of non-intervention by Congress with
Savory in States or Territories. His course in Con -
gress was bold, manly, and unequivocal; always
adhering striotly to the principles upon whioh ho
was elected. He. supported, by vote and speech,
the legislation of 1850, known as the Compromise
meamres; and never failed to defend the author
of those measures and the prlnoiples involved in
•hem, whenever and wherever assailed. In 1854,
when sectional strife raged with its greatest fury,
nnd mon of lees nerve quailed before the storm.
Major Harris again beoamo the candidate of bis
party for Congress in his district, whioh had been
obanged so ss to oonforip new apportion
ment, and was then represented by a political
opponent.' In this contest he stood forth the
b6ld' and' fearless obampion of the principles
embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and on
thatdißtinct issno.be was elected by about two
hundred'majority over his popular antagonist.
Maintaining in Congress, with ability and fidelity,
the priooiplea on whioh be was elected, he, for tho
third time, beoame the chosen leader of his party
by a nnahimons vote in 1856, and after on ardaous
and seVere canvass, pending tho Presidential elco
tion.pf that year, he was re eleoted by about two
thousand majority. The course which Major Har
ris felt lt his duty to pursue on the important and
exciting question whioh engrossed tho attention
of Congress during the last session, is familiar to
the Benate and the country. Whatevor diversity
of opinion may exist, here or elsewhere, in regard
to the merits of tbat oontroversy, all will unite in
bearing/testimony to the ability, fidelity, and
gallantry with which he maintained and defended
-bfo-ooneoUaUoßJ-oonvietione.* When Congress ad
journed. he returned to his. home in the beloved
State of bis adoption, worn down and exhausted
bv excessive labor, and sinking slowly under tho
, Ufeots of a'.disease whioh even his energy and will
could, ho longer resist. Ho received the unani
mous nomination-of the Democratic party for re
election to Congross, and was fileotea on the 2d of
last November oy about fear thousand majority
Contrary to the advice of his physicians, and in
>ippoaUion to the urgent and affeotionate remon
strances of hla friends, he insisted upon holng car
ried to the polls, that he might pay the last tribute
-'to his political faith aed perform bis lost duty to
bis oountry. -He lived to rooeive complete returns
of the ,eleotion In the .entire State, and to write
affeotionate letters of oengrptulation to those with
ftrhom he had uniformly aoted on pubiio Questions,
and in who!e.Buocess he cherished a'deep and
heartfelt interest
: 'MfljorNarrjß left a wife and four small children,

Public Entertainments*
The Opera.— The audience at the Ao&demy ef
Music list not quite so overwhelming
an outpouring, in point of numbers, os the de
monstrations of Friday and Saturday, was very
large, and not by any means lacking in point
of enthusiasm. The announcement of Piccolomioi
*k;Viotetta— a delightful part at all times in tho
hands of a fine artiste—was of itself a deoidedly at
tractive baitto opera-goprs; and Mr. Uilman, with
his usual cleverness of management, Acted wisely
in making the judioious selection as a parting eard
for the fascinating prime donna. Wo will not
say that, for Picoelcmini, tho trial was a severe
aod arduous ono, for that'would bo unjust. Yot
it cannot be denied that a very strong prestige has
attaobed to Madame Gazzaniga’s rendering of the
role, and that to venture in the sarao field with one
who has, somehow or other, won over directors and
stockholders into making a bust of hor in marble,
and a full-length portrait in oil, needs no little
courage,'if not a slight smack of presumption.
Those who wero present last night had an oppor
tunity of judging how far Gazzaniga’s prestige
was shaken, end how truly, and how touobingly
was given, in action and in equelo, the ideal of the
erring,,why ward, yet deeply-loving “Dime aux
Cameliasf
It is not risking too much to say that if there
was’ any'single point in which a dleorepanoy could
be detected between Mnd’Jle Piocolomlni’s repre
sentation of the author's creation, and the living
being of actual life, it was in the childish inno
'ceftce of’ekpreulon and aotlon which seemed every
moment to' newly oonvinco the auditor that there
could be no earnest partnership between vice and
virtue; Sach a winning simplicity of nature as
beamed from Mod’ll© Picoolomini’s features, last
night, could never be imagined to have any feeling
in common with tho fallen »* lost ono ” of Verdi’s
libretto. ’ Tho effort, therefore, to associate purity'
andjofeliness with such was a trying
effort for the Imagination u> realize, and the audi
ence were willing enough to forget the character
' and to-only, see-Fiooolominl. The
oontrast Wes too strong, the antithesis too abrupt
and.startliog, not to strike the eye and to touch
the feelings. / This, however, did not diminish—
U ratbor Served tobefghten the enthusiasm of the
audieneo, - •
. The opening song of “ Libbtamo” went off with
infinite'rest, as full of sparkle as the bumpers of
ohampagne wbioh danced in harmony in the glit
tering goblets. It brought down no encore of the
heartfestkind. The solo scone, wkioh succeeded,
was.an excellent test of Mad’lle Picoolomlni’s
powers, and the trial developed a force of musloal
expression with which, till then, tho audience had
not credited her. Nothing oould have been more
effective than the two lines beginning “ Obeeporo
dr pin V y and which was so beaatifally rounded
off with the rollioking aria of ‘‘.jSempro libera,”
into 'whioh. Piooolomini infused a devil-may-oare
insouciance perfectly deliolouß
.The succeeding acts were equally brilliant, and
added still more to the impression made by the
first.; The criticisms of the audience were many,
and, between the intervals of the opera, the buzz
of conversation was general all over tho bouse,
and comparisons with Gazzanlga wero freely ha
zarded As to the conception,of tho part, we aro
confident - that Piccolomioi has approached more
ndarly the Idea of the author. She has given, in
-deed; to the rfif© a new intensity of expression It
yet received
V./BigndrFlorehza, as Germont , was a great acceß.
>lon to the mufiicalatrength of tho' opera; giving
the part all the pathos whioh it demanded. 'llia
yoice is fall and mellow, and always managed with
the oareful judgment ofia true artiste Sig. Lorini
did full justloe to the music. Hts voice is a sweet*
tenor, of fair compass.. His defect seems to be the
same sort of failing whioh detraots at timts from
Brignoli’s performances—a want of dramatic ac
tion.
The oborus'waB, ns usual, in excellent training,
and, as Verdi’s operas oatmot be rendered without
this important adjunot properly oared for, it added
an infinite oharm to the whole opera. Tboorohestra
elioited praise from all parties. It has never been
equalled before in Philadelphia.
The prospeot for Wednesday is very flattering-
The production of so grand an opera as the
“ Huguenots,” on such a stage as that of the
Academy, must be no ordinary event, and there
will be undoubtedly an overflowing bouse. Thus
far Manager Ullman has fulfilled to tho letter
every promise made to the pubiio, and this gives
a positive confidence that every opera announced
will be oertainly produoed. The vory natural
result is, that the Academy will continue to be
jammed overy night.
We should like to learn whether the directors of
tho Academy of Music have yet made any ar
rangement for the next year’s season. If they
wish to have a certainty of opera, and an equal
oertainty of profitable returns from crowded
houses, we inoline to the belief that they need not
look far to secure the proper manager to bring
about the gratifying result.
BY MIDNIGHT MAIL.-
Letter from Washington*
[Oorreapondenoe of The Press.]
Washington, Jan. 17,1859.
The caucus of Democratic Senators, held on Sa
turday last, was the first oalled sinoe Leoompton
went down to the grave unsung. A oharaoteriatio
of the oauous on Saturday was, that it was agreed
that no Demoeratio Senator should be bound to
pursue any particular oonrse about Cuba, but that
all should be left to support or oppose the Slidell
thirty-million bill as they seer proper It seemed
also to be understood that no oauous, Senatorial or
otherwise, had a right to prescribe a test upon any
Senator, concerning any measure before Congress.
I perceive that a telegraphic despatch of this
friendly meeting has got into the newspapers, how
lam unable to say. Upon inquiry, I learn that
some surprise was manifested that Judge Douglas
should have Indicated his disposition to vote the
thirty millions into the hands of the President for
tho purohase of Cuba. Knowing pretty well what
his feelings are on this subject—for he made no se
oretof them before going into a canons—lcommit
no breach of oonfidonoe, Senatorial or otherwise,
when I say that Judge Douglas believes that,
with tho information before himself, the request
for the thirty millions, to negotiate for the pur
chase of Cuba, is somewhat strange; but, iuas
muoh as tho President had aeked for it, and as he
had meanß of obtaining information of whioh tbe
oountry were not advised, Douglas is willing to
let the Presidont make the trial, and take tho re
sponsibility of going before the .oountry, enjoying
tho responsibility of failuro or saooess. lam told
that Senator Hunter, of Virginia, does not hesitate
to say that if tho thirty millions asked for Cuba'
should bo voted, ho did not know whero the mo
ney was to come from, as there was none in'tho
Treasury.
The bill fet tho codlflo&tion of the revenue laws,
now before the Houso, Is a mountain of corruption
and onght to be defeated. Ouo clause iii it alone
■gives Cobb power to appoint an indefinite number
of seorot a goats to oxamine the mint, assay office,
and the book 3 of all the onstom-bouses and treasu
rer’s offioes, paying them six dollars a day and
travelling expenses. Under this provision two
thousand mercenaries could and would be ap
pointed to toko chargo of the business .of packing
Slate and National Conventions. I prodiot its
defeat.
Tho Demooratio members of the Legislature of
Maine, In regular meeting assombled, unanimously
adopted the following resolutions, thus adding
another State to our column. ''They assert, as you
will see, tho ontlre popular sovereignty platform,
without whioh it is ovldent that no Northern State
ean be carried in 1860. These resolutions are
more significant, Inasmuch as they were passed by
a body expeotod to be controlled by the offioers of
tbe Federal Administration who are eoattered in
great profusion over that State.
Mr. Pierce, from the committee, reported -the
following, which were read separately and unani
mously adopted:
“Resolved. That wo hold It to be sound and
unexceptionable doctrine, that if the people of a
Territory are in favor of slavery, they have a
right to make laws to establish and protest it, and
if they are opposed to slavery, they have an equal
right to make laws to exolude it.
I( Resolved , That it is our deliberate and fixed
purpose to declare that Congress should, in no
event, pass any aot to establish, proteot, or sus
tain slavery in the Territories of tbe United
States, or to exolude it therefrom, but should
promptly guarantee to the sovereign people there
of the undisturbed right to dispose or it in their
own way, and without interference or molestation,
from any quarter, subject only to the express pro
visions of the Constitution.
“ Resolved, That we are in favor of the Imme
diate admission of Oregon, and also of the admis
sion of Kansas into the Union, whenever a Consti
tution, republican in form, truly, and honestly
ratified by the popular vote of said Territory, Bhall
be presented to Congress. •
"Resolved, That the newspapers of this State
be reapeotfuily requested to publish the foregoing
resolutions, unanimously adopted by the Dcrao
oratlo membors of tho Maine Legislature, in con
vention assembled.”
In addition to the above, the Demooraoy of New
Hampshire,in their last Convention, unanimously
endorsed sentiments to the same effect with the
above, and refused to pass a resolution unquali
fiedly endorsing the Administration of Mr. Bu
ehanan. Another Item of intelligence showing
tho progress of the same Irresistible sentiment is
as follows:
The Democrats in the Legislature of Indiana
have agreed upon Douglas men for the officers of
Stato Agent, State Treasury, and Superintendent
of the Penitentiary. All sides havo met in cations
and unanimously nominated these mon to be
elected by joint ballot In the Legislature.

A Relic of the Past*
The following remlnißoenoe of other days was re
produced, a few days since, in one of our courts
of justfoo:
Philadelphia, Nov. 28,1833.
Remonstrance against Lighting with Gas.
To the Honorable, the Select and Common Coun-
cils , of the City of "Philadelphia:
Gentlemen:—The Subscribers beg leave re
speotfully to remonstrate against tho plan now in
agitation for Lighting the City with Gab, as they
consider it a most inexpedient, offensive, and dan
?;erous mode of lighting. In saying tble, they are
ally sustained by the accounts of Explosions, Loss
of Life, and great destruction of property, where
this mode lighting has been adoptod.
TVeoonsidor Gas to bean artiole as ignitidle
os Gunpowder, and nearly as fatal in its effects ;
as regards the immense destruction of property,
we believe the’va'it number of fires in New York
and other cities, may be in a groat measure as
oribod to this mode of lighting, the leakage oi
pipes and carelessness of stopping off the Gas
furnish almost daily instances of its destructive
effects. And when we consider that this Power
ful aud Destructive Agent, must necessarily be
offon left to the o.iro of youth, domesiios, and care
less people, we only wendor that the oousequonces
havo not been more A willing: It is also an un
certain light, sometimes suddenly disappearing,
and leaving streets and houses in -total darkners.
The Waters of the. Delaware and
now oonFidurod tho most pure and salubrious in
tbo world, asm&ny long voyngeshave fully tosted,
must soon, wo fonr, experience tho deterioration
which has reduced the water of tho Thames to
tho present impure and unhealthy state, for no
reservoir wilt be able to contain tho immense fetid
drafns from such an establishment, and very soon
tbo rivers must be thoir receptacle to the destruc
tion of tho immense Shoals of Shad, Herring ,
and other fish with which they abound; tbo same
cause must produce like effects. Salmon , Smelts ,
and other fish, formerly caught .in vast quantities
in the Thames, have nearly nil disappeared; the
constant digging up of the streets, the oiroum
etanco of the gas pipes wbioh at the intersection
of eaoh square must oome in oontaot with the
water pipes, are difficulties and evils which we
would anxiously avoid.
In conclusion, we earnestly solicit that the
lighting our city with oil may be continued.
And your petitioners, &0., Ac.

We have Buenos Ayres papers to the 6th of No
vember. The Commercial Times.of that date
gives the following amusing account of the “ re
volutionary movement,” a brief reference to
whioh has already appeared in our columns:
“ On the morning of tho 28th Ootobor, Viotor
Obirino, at the hoad of a promiscuously armed
rabble of thirty or forty men, made his appear
ance In tho Guardta del Monte, deposed the au
thorities, put the prefeot into prison, and issued a
proclamation onlling upon the country people to*
join him in putting down the irreligious Govern
ment, who were ruining the country. Next day he
departed In the direction of Canuelas, and en
camped for the night on an estanola near to that
‘‘'in the evening a Might skirmish took place,
in which a few shot were fired by the rebels, and
the National Guards were driven from an outpost
they had occupied. The following day the officor
in oommand, Don Jose Alfaro, despatched his
small force to reoonnoitro the enemy, while he
awaited somo reinforoemenU, then close at hand;
but tbo. ‘religions column, 5 who were just then
eopased in preparations for breakfast, did not

Harper's Magazine for February, of •which I have
just received the advanced sheets, will be found quite
entertaining aud well illust'ated. The opening paper
is 11 Washington at Moorestown,” by Rev Joseph F.
Tattle, (fifteen Illustrations;) next, “Rthsn Alien
and his daughter,'* a neat llttl* poem of 'half-a
dozen verses, by 0. o.' Cox; third, “Pollies of
Fashion,by a clever gentleman named NordljolF, well
known to the witty and wealthy fraternity of writing
men of this city. All tbe absurdities and oddities that
have gone up like' a rocket and come down like a stick
in the empyrean of ton, from the dandles of ISSB. who
wore “ hoie pleated as though they had thirty pockets,
two yards wide at tbe top; petticoat breeches, tied above
the knee; ribbons op to tbe pocket holes, then ribbons
hanging all about tho waistband, and shtrt hanging out 1 *
—which last fashion msy be said to have altogether died
out among our modern dandies—all are minutely de
scribed and authentically illustrated.. The writer
elances at tbe petticoats of 1710, at the hoops, caps and
sacks of 1796, at the apparel of the Spanish gentlemen
of 1560; the perukes, hats, wigs,> and held dresses of
1690 and 1690 ; the female costuides of 17*3 and 1791;
the oommodee, tho towers, the hats, hrods, balloons
and baskets of later days, down to the time
of George IV, whose cast-os' toggery sold at auction,
after hie death, for s4s,ooo—having cost him, It is esti
mated, nearly, if not quite, a hundred thousand pounds
s'eMing. The article exhibit* research, is very enter
tfiniog, and, >f thoroughly, read np Jhy young men and
maidens before going to parties, will supply ample ma
terial for fashionable chat. The fourth article is on
“la Plata,” by Mr Guernsey, the “ literary reader ’*
at Harper’s, whose cleverness, industry, tact, and un
mistakable good sense ’and discriminating judgment,
render him admirably adapted for the peculiarly lively
boriness of wading through reams upon reams of ma
nuscript works, offered for publication and winnowing
the wheat from the ohsff. His business is to do “ne
tMngelse” than’read other people’s prodoctions. but
this artlolo on “ La Plata” shows that be is capable
of doing good things of his own. Following Mr.
G Is “A Woman’s Poem.” by R H. Stoddard, a very
sweet thing. Next, a story by Alice B. Neal, entitled
“ Paying the Piper ” lam not at liberty to give the
names of tbe writers of the three succeeding artleles
“Found Floating on the Wate’,” “A Christmas in
Hamburg,” and “Hintsoo Self-cultnre.” The story
following this, entitled “ Hester G*ahame: One Wo
man’s Life,” is by Miss Sawyer. I need not allude to
the remainder of tbe number, which includes four
ohepters of l ‘ Tbe Virginians,” the Monihly Record of
Current Events, Literary Notices, Editor’s Table, Easy
Chair, and Drawer. The funniment, at the close, is
“ Nondles’s Attempts at Soioido.” Thus yon luvethe
things in Harper for February, and who did them
It is stated by a New Yo*k correspondent of the Lon
don Critic, that three extensive publishing houses of
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, hare united for
the purpose of bringing oat a new Encyclopedia—the
first volume of which Is to appear in April or May
Hearn from Col. Scbonler, tho clever editor cf the

Another and still more laudable movement has been

THE MATCH OF MORPHV A 2TD ANDERSSEN—AN
OTHER CHALLENGE TO STAUNTON.
The grand ehess xnatoh between Messrs Mor
phy and Anderssen closed on Tuesday, in favor of
tho American. The gamo stood : Morphy, 7; An
dersaen, 2; drawn, 2. The utmost courtosy and
good feeling reigned during the whole oourso of
the matoh, and nothing ocourrod between tho con
testants to mar tho good opinion each had formed
of the other before commencing the game. It
was played, too, without any of those harassing
preliminaries whioh tho English insist on, and
whioh Tender a game of ohesa a sort of prize-ring
or raoe-courso. <
The two gentlemen met and agreed verbally
that the winner of the first seven games should be
dool&red tbe viotor, and ttat they should com
mence playing every day at IZo’olock in presence
of a few invited friends. These wero all the pre
liminaries, and, as tho result shows, they sufficed
amply M Anderssen will return iminedlatoly to
his olass of mathematics at Breslau, carrying with
him the goad opinion and tho friendship of -al\who
have had the plcasuro of meeting him here. Mr.
Morphy may now sit down and shed tears at leisure,
for he has no more worlds to oonquer. It has been a
sourooof ohagrin to him that ho has not been able
to obtain a matoh with Staunton, so as to put a
stop to his boastings and prevarications, but the
world will agree that tbe fault does not He with
Morphy, and that, therefore, ho is to be considered,
as Staunton’s superior so long as tho tatter Tofusca
a matoh. Mr. Morphy offers now to play Mr.
Staunton and give him ft pawn and a move; but
of course no player of-Mr. Staunton’s supposed
calibre would aocept such au offer. . Mr. Morphy,
however, is justified, after the course of Mr. S., in
making suoh an offer, and he says to his friends
that ho is sure ho can boat him with that ndvan
tago.
On Saturday night last, M. Harrwitz played a
blindfold game of ofghfc at the Cafe do la Bo
genoe, after tho manner of Morphy, of which’he
gained six, was beaten ono, and drew oho. Btit
his opponents were but third-rate players, (the
Prince Gal&tzln wns of the number,) and Morphy
dcoiares that he will play a blindfold gamo of
twenty on the same conditions. Y. Times.

Sir: The following lottor from M. Otto Von

supposed to have discovered a groat error in the
longth of tho St Potorsburg and Moscow Hallway,
whereby ft groat over-paymoat had boen made to
tho Amerioan contractors on that line, so fully
shows the gross falsehood of tho statements copied
from tho Koglisb paperaot about two months past,
that it booomes a simple act of jus-dee to give it ns
wido a circulation ns the original article obtained.
Will you, therefore, have the goodness to insert It
with this note, and oblige,

Letter from Otto Struve, Astronomer of the Im
jwrinl Observatory, Put&ova, Russia
Messrs Winans, Harrison nnd Winans—
Gentlrhrn: In reply to your lottor of this
morning, I have the honor to state:
Ist. That nover any calculations havo been inado
on the part of Husnan astronomers, bo far ob I
know, that would tend to give riso to tho sup
position that the real distance between tho rail
way termini at St. Petersburg nnd Moscow is
considerably loss than it is aocepted by the Go
vernment.
2d. That I have full reason to suppose that the
rumor in tho newspapers concerning a supposed
discovery on our part of difference in tho real and
accepted oxtent of the Moscow railroad has its
origin in oircumstanoes not the least connected
with railway matters
3d. That l haro reason to believe that tho real
distnnoe between the two railway termini is differ
ent of the aocopted value of 004 versts. You
have my authority tomoko any use of these lines
to contradiot the false statements to which you
allude in your letter.
Very respectfully, your obedient sorvant,
(Signed) Otto Struve.

To tk* Board of Guardians—(Juntiemtu : I feel it
duo to you. as my’col'eag'iefi, to sav someth! g in vin
dication of w se-f from the assmHs wh-ch hare been
male upon me by tho prers. Tbo exaggerated state
ment* which have grown out of a very trilling affair,
have wounded my feelings, and cast suspicion 1 pon ray
integrity; au-t ai I look upon my who!* connection
with this bed? n> having ben in co fonnitr wi-li *h •
strict rules of I am » mvHUng to rIU-w th‘B
mooting to pass without a pu Uo statement of the ca'Q.
I have made no purchase since my connection with
the Guardians of the Pror from which I have made or
expected to make & single cent I never bought more i
than 2‘o barrels of Hour in all, which were purchased at j
the cheapest market rates, and delivered in good order. ;
The articles I tavo been oharged wl‘.h busing. to a !
great extant were never given tome by the bouse corn- 1
ini'tpo -ni the mistake !?. that all the loose charges
made here and elsewhere have been Qxed upon me.
The bill from Taylor, Gillespie. & Co . I waadirected
to purchase, which, instead of doing I intrusted to
fifr. Aidiess to do for me. and th's c a Mtates rr.y
whole offence. Tour investigation into this transac
tion ve y clearly prove 1 there was neither collusion nor
c mpdoity between us, and although I have erred in
not giving this basinets my own personal attention,
which abo’nce prevented me from doing, it is an error
that moo fall into every day.
The office I bold is one I neither sought nor (leaded ;
it is an l ffice that has been to me a source of troubta
and expense over since it win accepted, and one whkh
long since, I intended to d>vest myself of. This should
have been done befoto this had it not been for these
public charges involving my-official honesty, and I
farther desire to say, that when the whole t-nth ap
pears, and I am properly vindicate 1. the thankless mu
nicipal office I hold gball be resigned.
Yours, respectfully, JooBPH F. McClkllas.

The stock on hand nn the 10th of January was 88

days—the intervenirg time—would make a total of 650
barrelß; to which add 88 barrels—the stock o> hand—
would make a total of 744ba-rela. Deduct this from
020 barrels. and its loaves a deficiency of 176 barrels to
he acvuinted for; wh’ch, at $5 75 per ta-rel. would
an-ount to $1,012. This to him was apparent’/ a fraud.
In h b tutnronu'SH with his fel'nw-men he suspected no
man as a thief until he was detec'ed. He was satisfied
that th f « c-edit th*y received from the public was part*
ly deserved lie knew the men engaged on this trace

that an investigating committee would b- anpo'nt-d.
He h*d taken his catb to faithfully discharge his dvty,

TESTIMONIAL.
Messrs. J. Borkmt & Oo.: I cannot refuse to
state the salutary effeot in my owiPaggravated case of
your excellent LUir Oil—(Cocoaine )
For many months my hair had been falling off, until
l wae fearful of losing it entirely. The shin upon my
head became gradually more and more so that
I could not touch It without pain. Ibis irritated con
d lion I attributed to the use of various advertised hair
_ washes, which X have since been told contain campheoe
4 j spirit.
By the advice of* my physioian, to whom yon hod
shown your process of purifying the OU, I commenced
its liso the last week in June. The first application al
layed the itching and irritation; in three or four days
the redness and tenderness disappeared—the hair ceased
to fall, and I have now a thick growth of new hair.
I trust that others, simila-ly afflicted, will be in*
daced to try the same remedy.

Jonas Whitcomb’s Remedy for Asthma.
[Letter from a Law* er iu Newburyport, Mass ]
Joseph Bcbhktt, Efq —Dear Sir: It Is now nearly
twelve month* since I received the first bottle of year
valuable medicine for the oure of the Asthma.
For thirteen years I suffered wi.h tbe Asthma, and
during that time there were bat Tew months in whhh I
did n- t suffer with a paroxysm that entirely prostrated
me for two or three days, and sometimes longer.
I will i*ay, that from tbe time I took the first dose of
jour “ Remedy” to the present hour, I have not had a
had at*ack, and now my system Is so free from it, that
the most active exercise acd exposure'seldom has any
other effect than to slightly.restrict the lungs Your
melicine soon dirpels that sensation, and I can sa'ely
olsim a general release from tbe tormentor. Please
accept my gratitude for the great blessing, and believe
me that I shall endeavor to introduce the Remedy
whenever opportunity occurs. With great respect, your
obedient servant, J. H. BRAGDQN.
