Who Has the Hey of the Beattie?
A French journal announces that the widow
of M. Santerro, 'who distinguished himself
when the Bastile was taken, is 'now alive in
Paris. Moreover, that she possesses the Key
of that exectable prison fortress. This will be
news, in this country, where the veritable Key,
there is every reason to believe, has long been
a sort of National heir-loom, having boon pre
sented to Washington• by Lafayette. The
widow Santerro may have retained one of the
Motile Keys, but the Key of the principal
portal was undoubtedly sent to this country,
where it may be seen hanging up In ono of
the rooms of Mount Vernon.
In Mr. Benson Leasing's ic Monnt,Vernon
and its Asaociatione," an engraving of the Key
is given, with a statement of its presentation
to and reception by Washington: We' take
the facto from this yellow.' In 1790, the seat
of the Federal Government was removed from
New York to Philadelphia, and Congress ad
journed on the 12th of August. Eighteen
days i#43r, Pr ! sidep / k Washington' and
fkrally red#4,o,k,..tojtli on his "return t
4 . 9 1 4 1 t: - 1 00 Ptin.grCeli't 4 1 ;
*rind; Hr.:-Loiefrig says 4 . ‘ Washington re
ceived a, corkesa present, which he • cue
tied with him to Mount Vernon. It was
the Key of the Bastile, that old state
prison of France, which had become a strong
arm of despotism." on the 18th January,
1789, the Parisians fornled themselves into
a National Guard, ,and chose Lafayette as
their commander. Next day they assembled
en more before the Bastile, which was sup
posed to be impregnable, made a broach in the
walls, seized and killed the governor and
other officers, and the great iron key of the
Bastile was carried to the Hotel de Yale, or
town Hall." Tho National Assembly, con
firming whit the people had done, unani
mously elected Lafayette commander-in-chief
of the National Guard of France, a corps of
more than four'millions of armed citizens.
The key of the Castile was placed in the
hands of Lafayette, and in March following
he sent it to Thomas Paine, then in London,
to be forwarded as a present to Washington,
togethei with a drawing, in pencil, (a copy of
which Mr. Loosing gives in his book,) repre
senting the destruction of the prison. 'lbis
also remains at Mount Vernon. Lafayette
sent a letter with these gifts, in which he
said : "Give me leave, my dear General, to
present you with a picture of the Bastile,
just as it looked a few days after I order
ed. its demolition, tCith the main key of the
fortress of despotism." Thomas Paine re:
talned the two gifts for a considerable time,
probably awaiting a safe opportunity of send:
log them to Washington, and allowed no draw
ing tote made of the key, though it was often
requested, correctly thinking that there was a
propriety that it first should be presented. But,
he added, "Mr. Vest wishes Mr.,Trumbull to
make a painting of the presentation" to Wash
ington. The letter from Lafayette was dulyic:
knowledged by Washington. Mr. Losing
adds, what every person may see at this day—
and for all future time, now that Mount Ver
non has become National property—“ The
Key of the Beattie, and the .drawing repro.
minting the demolition of, the
.fortress, are
at Mount Vernon. The former is preserved
in a glass case, and the latter hangs near it, in i
the same relative position in which they were I
originally placed, in the • great passage of the
mansion."
There cannot be the shadow of a doubt that
what Laßtyette presented to Virashlngton'waS
(to use his.own words) it the main' key Of tho
-fortress of despotieru.''
• •
years old, and his kindness to his own work
mon, as well as his having given away nearly
$60,000 of meat and rico to the poor of the
Faubourg St. Antoine, in famine time, made
him very popular in that district, where his
brewery stood. No man behaved more •geR
tautly at the storming of the 'Basilic, anti it
was he who saved the Bibliotheque du Rol
(ono of the finest public libraries, in Eu
rope) from being destroyed by the 'mob.
From his stature, ho was called the Ajax of
the Parisian meb, and ho exorcised his im
mense personal strength to some purpose, in
Juno, 1792, (when he was commander of the
National Gnard,) by thrusting the populace
out of the Queen's chamber, and, for that
time, protecting Mario Antoinette and her
children from further outrage. Ile had
courage, and seine good nature, but having
failed, as a General in command of the army
sent to La Vendee, was cast into prison,
and narrowly escaped being executed during
the despotism of Robespierre. He survived
the casualties of the Revolution, and died,
very obsCurely, in 1809, aged 67. No one, to
our knowledge, has thought it worth while to
write Santerro's biography, and therefore we
cannot say whether ho was married before or
after the taking of the &stile.- That event
happened seventy-ono years ago, and suppo
' sing that Madame Santerro was only twenty
live at the time, she now may count ninety-six
years. It Is probable that she is much
younger.
At all events, though the 'Widow Santerre
may possess one of the keys of the Bustifo,
there is the most direct evidence, as stated
to Lossing's ( 4 Mount Vernon and its As/io
dations," that the main key of that fortress of
despotism was placed in the Ildtel de Ville of
Paris; that it was thence transferred to
Lafayette; that Lafayette sent it to Washing
ton, through Thomas Paine; that Washing
ton acknowledged its receipt by letter to La
fayette ; and that it has remained at Mount
Vernon ever since.

Dow THEY DISSOLVED VIE DNION.—The South
Carolina Legislature lately sent ant a parcel of
resolutions inviting each of the other Southern
States to join in a disunion conference.
When they reached Texas, the Legislature eyed
them suspiciously: Members remarked that Texas
had bad too numb trouble getting into the Union
to bo in a hurry to got out of it. And they wore
summarily laid under the table.
When they reached Virginia, there was a long
debate. But the Legislature finally came to the
sensible conclusion that a disunion conference
would have no power to dissolve the Union, and,
if it had, that wasn't what they wanted. So the
resolutions were not concurred in.
When they reached Maryland, the whole Le.
gielature rose up, with two exceptions, to indig
nantly spurn them as an invitation to treason,
which message goes back to Sou th Carolina, with
their compliments.
Cold comfort for fire-eaters, this !—Albany Eve

r A Cincinnati paper relates a case of matri
monial desperation which occurred a few days since
In that city. A respectable gentleman of sixty
years married a young French woman, separated
from her after a few months' bliss, married an
English woman, and ill-treated her into a divorce
and finally espoused a buxom German damsel, with
whom ho was living very happily when his first
wife, the 'French woman, destroyed his peace and
quiet by a prosecution for trigamy ! The journal-
Ist says " what there is about this venerable Don
Giovanni, who, ono would naturally suppose, had
arrived at that time of life when the blood waits
upon the judgment,' to induce the women of three
nations to fall victims to his charms, wo aro unable
to determine."

of William Brown, agent of the Fugitive Aid So

All such notions as these are based on profeen
ignorance of the lowa of trade and of the relation
of commerce with civil governments. They ar
the offspring of the same blind policy, if auchl
may be called, which advises the Northern people.
to give up the use of stigar and cotton in order to
injure and destroy slavery. Such ideas belong+
only to those who aim to make political action en
tirety an abstract notion of right and Wrong, with
out duo consideration of the wants and weaknesses:
of human nature.
Whet societies entirely dif f erent in their habits!
and feelings are organised under government
radically diverse in their character and traditions,
it is difficult, if not impossible, to prevent an in-,
terchatige of commodities between the two cont.!
munities. And the difficulty of commercial non-I
intercourse is not destroyed though natural eb-;
slacles—such as lofty ranges of mountains, a wids4,
river. or broad see—interveno between the twof
nations. Thus, in spite of the national antipathie.o,
between Frame and England, with all the revenuq
vessels and officers in the rem-rice of these two
Powers, it to altogether impossible to prevent even
smuggling on the coasts of the two couttriea. And
if smuggling exists merely for the evasion of high
duties, bow much more would it flourish in case
that non-intercourse were secured?
But, if smuggling is, to a certain extent, carried,
on between Franco and England, it has an orga.i
nized system on the frontiers of Belgium and the
French empire. In spite of the vigilant and all,
pervasive police at the disposal of the Emperor,',
the laces of Brussels will gat to Paris, without bay- ,
ing paid tribute to the French treasury. Consideri
tog these facts, and many others of the same cha-,
racter, familiar to persona at all acquainted withi
the trade between the European States, the idea of,
even limited non-intercourse between the Northern;
and Southern States of the Union appears impracti-i
cable and preposterous.
Those who advocate the policy of non-Intercourse
with a view to save the Union from Northern tig-:
gressions, are guilty of the very illogical act of put,
Clog the cart before the horse. If the Northern ,
and Southern States were under separate Oovern-!

Fourth Annual Spiritual Register for 1860, pub

statistics which indicate a rapid increase of believers'
in spiritualism in this country and elsewhere, and
a corresponding Inoreaso of spiritual literature.
According to the Register, there are one million'
five hundred and thirty-seven. thousand believers
in the United States, and sixty-three thousand :n
the Canadas, Cuba, and South America, making a
total of 1,600,000 in America I In the State of New'

in Missouri, 32,000; and in Pennsylvania, 40,000.
The believers in the Southern States are lean nu

Carolina and Arkansas aro set down at 3,0011 each,'
and Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon. and New Mexico
at 2,000 each. Every State and Territory is repre

fewer than any other, Is set down at 1,000.
It is claimed that during the year there has been

A Bold Villa/o.
A man named Travis has been arreeted out West
for marrying no less -than eleven wives! A air ,
respondent of the Chicago Journod gives the fol
lowing account of the meal's adventures:
FENZPORT, 1111110iS, January 27.—some months
ago there appeared a man of polite and " taking"
manners In a town of Southwestern Wisconsin,
where be represented himself to be a returned
Californian, named Ferguson ' and was bosatfal of
his riebes and of adventures. He there Ingra
tiated himself into the confldenoe of a fair young
lady, who wee foolish enough to believe all he said,
and consented to become his wife. They were
married, and be directly afterward left for Tarte
unknown.
Next he was heard of under the name of Hoyt,
in the town of Jo, Davies county, fit, where lie
became the " lion," won the hearts of SODA half
dozen young women, and married one. Ba staid
with his new young wife No. 2 a few days, got
credit among merchants and others, aid turned
up one day missing. He next turned. up ender
another name In the town Nora, in the same ema
ty, buying a farm for $9,000, but goes off without
paying for it or his hotel bill. Next we hear of
him in West Point in this (Stephensen) county,
trying to boy rip the debts of a man who is of in
California, but whose wife resides in that plass;
makes a great flourish, evidently with the dWa
of ingratiating himself into the good offices of We
Californian's "grass widow," in which fortunately
he fails.
lie then goes to one Mrs. Vide, whose husband is
off in California ; pretends to be apartionlar friend
of Mr. Vale; says he owns a line of at/amen run
ning between San Francisco and New Orleans; that
he has recently returned from California, where he
had been eine* 1642. Finally proposed marriage
to Mrs. Vale; she objects; he persuades her that,
insomuch as her husband is' absent In California,
"it's all perfectly right and proper;" they are
married ; in a day or two he hires a cutter of a
livery man, " for one, two, or perhaps as many as
six days;" livery man' leis him have it; livery
man afterwards suspects something, and sends a
constable after him ; finds him at Waddara's Grove;
returns with him, Alan right;" then welted
the livery =II of stealing his pocket-book, son
" gold slugs," onareney, and notes, gets
greatly excited, and threatens rash proceedings.
Livery man is not to be scared, and Wilson Wad
dun (the name he had there assumed} was taken
suddenly very ill with the, "Panama fuer"—bad
bad dreams—ow a ooffln and a grave. It was
nothing, but a ruse, to get h good opportunity to
abequandate.
Fortunately, about that time, on the strength a(

sheriff of Boone county was sent for. The "con

knives, do., printed or, his arms. The amnia this

for John E. Travis, the recreant son of a respecta

" very sick " when the arrest was made ; wouldn't
eat; wouldn't speak; wouldn't do anything, be

county sheriff eummbned a, physielan,.who pro
ncanced his sickness a sham. Travis, alias Fergu
son, alias Hoyt, alias Waddlers, and some half a
dozen other aliases, was handcuffed and taken to
Belvidere, Boone county, where he is now locked
up. This Travis is as great a scoundrel as lives
unfmng.
It has been reliably ascertained that he has,
the last few months, married and swindled no
less than eleven different women, confiding young
ladies and foolish widows. He was seise years ago
sent to the Illinois State prison, iron Winnebago
county, for the crime of larceny, and having served
out his time, probably went to California, and efts'
practising all the villainy be could there and as/-

again reached "the end of his rope. Instead of

shall be, forever prohibited in this Territory.
Btu. 2. That this act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.
The House consists of thirty-nine members, of
whom fifteen are Democrats; the remainder are
Republicans, all of whom will support and vote for
the bill on its final passage. Of the Democrats air

The nine Democrats, who are pledged to do what
they can to secure the defeat of the bill, are said to

veto it. They wish to avoid the WMs nevolred by
killing the bill. It la, however, made the special
order for Thursday. when it will pass.
