MONDAY, MAY 30, 1864.
, gfAYii- We can take no notice of anonymous commu
nications. We do not return rejected manuscripts.
,tiEir Voluntary correspondence is solicited front all
parts of the world, and especially from our different
'military and naval departments. When used, it
willbe paid for.
The Church and the State.
Our Church Conventions are now holding
their annual sessions. By a happy and
agreeable coincidence Philadelphia has been
famed with an unusual number of these cc
..cicsiastical bodies. - The great Methodist
`Conference has concluded its diScussions
after a prolonged session ; the societies of
the Baptist Church have hadtheir meetings
:and their semi-annual jubilee ; there - are
two -branches of the great Presbyterian
family now in session ;* and the largest
.branch of all is holding its General A.ssem.
bly at Newark. Many years have passed
•since we have had in our midst such a large
titimber of the ministers of the Church of
Jesus Christ. The importance of their de
liberations cannot be overlooked. They
:represent a large portion of our people fromali
of the nation, and from other ca
tions. As we read the proceedings of theSe:
Conventions we see a poWer that in some
-respect surpasses the power of the nation
itself. These religiousbodies speak as eon
iinerors and princes. !Their word is Obeyed
in the East Indies, in China, and far off in
the uttermost parts of the earth. They
quietly parcel 'out new Om - bib:MS on
the shores of the Pacific. : Without speak- :
ing of the power that binds these men to
gether; we view with interest and respect
- the deliberation§ of representatives of a
faith thud - feeling that is Closely associated
with
-
otir civilization ; and Whose progress
„
'we cannot regard with Out pride and hope.
We haVe seen in these various
; Church
+Conventions many evidences of material
prosperity. They hae increased in num
bers. Their members have , reason to be
proud of what they call the grace of God;
for their different communions have all been
blessed with additional strength and Wealth
and dignity. Without presenting the unity
and earnestness and majesty of discipline
that characterizes the Catholic Church,
these Protestant donominations have those
advantages of separate action that we do
not see in the Church of Mame. With all
our respect for the Roman Church and our
admiration of its history and power, we
- feel for Protestantism a sympathy that sug
gests the sympathy we feel for our own re
publican form of government. A State
without a king is not always the greatest
admirer Of a Church with a bishop and a
pontiff. In this matter of religion we see,
or rather we fancy we see, the progress of
American ideas. In New England we
have an abscence of forms of church go-
Ternment.
The ecclesiastical democracy, which &cies
not recognize any power brit the majority
of the worshipping congregation, is pecu
liar to New England, and there exists in
its strength. It has adVanced into other
parts of the country, and under the name
•of Congregationalism is springing up .in
every State or Territory
.where sons of
New England have,settled. The progress
-of this Sentiment, which is certainly simple
:and plain and all 7 embracing, rind which
does not trouble its believer with any nice
or exclusive points of theology, marks an
, (Toeb in our social. history that interests
- the observer of the new uation and new
race now shaping itself on these new and
undeveloped shores. When we speak of
religion or forms of religion it is simply as
we would speak of certain disciplined forms
of thought. We believe in the Church of
-Jesus Christ without expressing, any pre
-fereuce for one branch over another.
, Our_ country does not recognize any
faith as being more worthy of Govern
/ent support, for the history of the world
'has told us that, while no love is greater
'than the love of Christians, no hatred - is
_more intense and vindictive. Therefore,
we say to all men, worship God as it seem
..eth right. As a people, we desire God to,
be worshipped.; for his commandments
leach love, and honor, and peace, and good
will, and chastity; and, if those :command
ments are obeyed, law and order will pie-
Tail. As a peoi3le,.we desire to see the
=worship of God `extended to other coun
tries;, for His worship accompanies ci*iliza
Ilion, and olignteninent; and civil liberty.
'SO long as these ecclesiastical bodies re
!main united—so long as they increase and
prosper—it will be well for Our country and
the werld.
While we rejoice at these many evidence§
!of prosperity on the part of the ChnrcheS,
- we cannot refrain • from expressing our
ratification. - at the noble ground they have
taken on the . question of rebellion and.
slavery. They begin to see that treason
and slavery are incompatible with the
duty of it,Christian, and that- a man who
dOes not love his country cannot love his
God. -We are glad to see the sentiment of
religion united with that of loyalty. Here
.tofore there has been too- much alienation
and coldness of feeling between the Church
and State. All good Christians and good
. .citizens should endeavor to bring them to
,gether ; not as portions of the Government
- machinery, like the ChUrch in England and
Italy, but by those strong ties of- love and
-fellowship that lie at the basis of all true
TeligiOn and government.
The New Ruler of Mexico.
The Emperor of Mexico, for it is time so'.
- to designate Meinctualac, late Archduke
-of Austria; has probably reached Vera
Cruz ere this. After having received the
special- benediction of the Pope, in the
- Vatican, he quitted Italy, with his wife and
suite; touched at Gibraltar on the very day
that GAIIIDAI.DI arrived there, homeward 7
bound, and has last been heard of as hav
ing reached Madeira.
As crowns, imperial or royal, are not to
'be had every day, one. might ask why
should MAxtgrmAx have paused for seve
ral months beforeaccepting that Of the new- .
ly-constittted Empire of Mexieo? In Aus-
Aria, with only-a - nephew between him and
- the succession, 31.2txrumritly would always
have been an. important personage. He
- had shown some administrative power as
Vicero of Venetia, and is adMitted to be
(for hig rx.
years, and with the limited expe
rience -he 'could have had in such a small
onarine : as that, of . AUStlia l ) A • passable
`naval officer. 'ln . the event of, his_ elder
brother, the Emperor :FRANCIS JOSEPH,
dying without issue, M.,exts_tim.AN would
succeed him. That brother,: however, is
'mot thirty-four years old; and, as we - have
:said, he has a little Prince Imperial, called
- the Archduke RODOLPII, after the founder
.of the dynasty, who is in- his sixth 'year,
and as likely to- live as any other child of
ids age. Evident enough, then, that
3IA - xnuntAtt's chance of becoming - Em-
Teror of Austria is not much. -
Still, there 18 a chance. MAXIMILIAN
reckoned on itwhenhe hesitated to accept
the crown of 'Mexico; and had plenty of
time for consideration, seeing that, as- far
back. as October; 1861, weeks before the in
vading French army was shipped for Mexi
'66; IT.iiror,m - is: the Third had privately of
fered to putiNlAximmux at the head of the
empire which he had predetermined to
fOund 4 on the ruin of a republic, beyond
the Atlantic. If popular runlet- be true, his
pecuniary embarrassments had some share in`
inducing him to leave Europe. ; He thus was
willing to accept his new position in Mexi
co, provided that in doing so he did not
'jeopardize his rights and expectations in
_Austria.
The pairtmonial propprty of the House
.of Austria was consolidated, - if not created,
-during the reign of the Empress-Queen
MARIA THESESA. A large portion Of , it
- was thenset aside for the extraordinary re
-quirements of the different members of the
family. For example, the dethroned rulers
of T qc pcny, modem, and Parnia .feceiye
from that source largelncomes which could
not figure-in_ - the budget of Austria. The'
4lmcni46ll de :Gotha puts down $3,729,350
:as the amount intyable_in 1863, for the tin
vOror of Austria's ciyil list, and this does
not include the large allowances to the de
posed ,Asti'-Italian grand dukes.
When an Austrian archduchess contracts
a foreign marriage, she must formally
renunciate her claims and undertake not
to raise for herself or for her descendants
of either sex any pretensions to the even
tual succession to the. throne, nor to any
participation in either the endowments
raised on the patrimonial property, or the
inheritances which might fall in ab intestato.
Hitherto, these acts of renunciation had
only occurred on the marriage of archduch
esses. The acceptation of a foreign crown
by an archduke is a, fact without prece
dent in the annals of the House of Haps
burg. When the Mexican crown was 'of
fered to MAXIMMAN there was a solemn
family council held at Vienna, at which it
was resolved to subject him. to:the above
rifle, and put his younger brother (the
Archduke CARL; aged 33) into his shoes,
as respects the right of succession' in Aus
tria : Thus the Austrian prince who de
naturalized himself by accepting a foreign
crown was placed on the same footing with
the Austrian princess:who took a foreign:
htsband.
While MAXIMILIAN was simply Arch
duke, he was what the civil law terms first
agnate—that is, connected with the reign.
ing_Emperor of Austria by his father's, or
-by the male side, and, as such, would of
right become Emperor' should FRANCIS
JosErn die
o without a male heir. As an
Austrian Archduchess by a foreign mar
riage ceases to belong to the imperial fami
ly, and loses her quality of agnate to such
an- extent that her heirs areouly entitled to
be considered as cpgnates, or connected
with the House of Austria through the
mother's side or- the female bone, it was
contended, in the family council, that
MANIMILLVN'S taking a foreign crown re
duced him, also, from the status of an ag
nate to that of a cognate. The question
had not been provided for, and Miami
mArt, claiming that by accepting the seeptre
of MONTEZUMA he had not ceased to -be
first agnate, refused to sign the document
renouncing his right.
What he finally :did sign was to this
effect -that the Prince, having firmly re
solved todevote himself to the destinies of
the people which has chosen him, re
nounces for himself and his heirs, of both
sexes, all right to the eventual succession
to the throne of Austria so long as the new
Mexican dynasty shall continue to
The renunciation is, therefore, not abso-.
lute. In declaring that the effects of his
renunciation will continue so long as his
_dynasty shall reign, he implicitly deprives
himself of the right of abdicating, except
tinder the-pressure of causes independent of
hiS will. He also engages to respect ac
complished facts in the interior . of the
Austrian monarchy. After leaving, if,
during his absence, one of his brothers
should :be called on to succeed to the
throne, he would recognize him as legiti
mate sovereign. But, if Mexico shall be-
come too hot to hold him, MAXMILIAN
may return to Austria (one account says'
within six years), and resume his position,
only below the Emperor and the Prince
Imperial, as first agnate. He resigns half
of his appanage and the whole of his suc
cession ab intestato, and it is said that his
wife; now Empress of Mexico, has re
nounced the pin-money, $lO,OOO per an-'
num (only a small allowance for a King's
daughter and an Emperor's sister-in-law),
which was settled upon her when she mar
ried.
From the facts which we have here'
stated, it may be conjectured that, even
when assuming the imperial dignity in
Mexico, MAX - Dii_LlA_N .has little confidence
in its stability. If he believed in it, he
would at once have renounced his rights as
an Austrian prince. On the contrary, he
bargained, and chaffered, and made: such.-
reservations as will 'place . him in his old
position in Austria, shOuld the new Empire
of Mexico
.prove a fiasco. The chances are
that he will have a'short reign, but scarcely
a merry one. He gets. his debts paid by
assuming the imperial sceptre, and trusts to
The chapter of aceidents'to hold on to what
he has got.
Who are the People?
The getters-up of the COnvention at
Cleveland, which meets to-morrow, have
done a very cool thing. For some weeks
they have been advertising a call " to the
people of the United States" to meet at
Cleveland, - Ohio, there "to consult freely
and deliberate peaceably" upon the next
Presidential election. The We . as Aration,
the editor of which, General CLUSERET; is
one of provisional committee, and
which 'is the organ of the Fremont move
ment, thus exposes the, utter insincerity of
this call. It announces that the meeting "has
been called by inen who Mean to assert and
not to discuss the one-term principle," and
adds : It is open to any nomination excepting
that of Lwcot.N. We hope that the friends of
the President will understand this matter,
and not attempt to disturb the peaceable pro
ceedings of the meeting by their presence."
Upon this understanding the members of the
Convention' may deliberate peaceably, but
how they can consult freely it is impossible
to discover. To call the people„ of the
United States, and exclude the 'friends of
Mr. LIiSCOLIT, is 'something more than
cool—it is icy! -
Firm Alas.—The chairman of the Committee on
Fine Arts of the Great Central Fair, has requested
us to state that contributors of works of art, for ex
hibition at the fair, whose lists have been reported,
will be waited upon during the early part of this
week by persons duly authorized to receive these
contributions for transmission to the fine-arts-gal
lery. Our citizens are requested not to deliver any
thing except on an order signed by Mr. Joseph Har
rison, chairman of the Committee on Fine Arts, or
by Mr. Caleb Cope, or Mr. James L. Claghorn,
members of the committee. Lists will be sent to
each contributor.as a receipt for pictures delivered,
and it is suggested that directions be left by the
owners, so that there may be no delay in their de
livery, thus preventing the curtailment of the very
limited time left to arrange the fine-arts gallery.
PITTSBURG GREAT FAIR.—On next Wednesday,
June I, will commence the Great Fair at Pittsburg,
in aicrof the, funds of the Sanitary Commission. This
afternoon the staff and teachers, with, one hundred
and forty-six cadets of the. Perinsylvania Military
Academy Corps, will leave West Chester, to arrive
at Harrisburg at half past six this evening, and
there have a public parade. They will leave Har
risburg at 2 A. M. to-morrow, to arrive at.Pltts
burg at IP. M. They will have a distinguished re
ception there and parade. They - will be on duty
on Wednesday, when the Fair is opened, and during
their stay at Pittsburg will encamp in the field,
taking their tents and all necessary camp equipage
with them From West Chester.. The drill and disci
pline of this young corps is most creditable to Col.
Theodore Hyatt, president of the Military Academy.
Moss WllO are interested in the Sanitary and
Christian.Commlssions have an excellent opportuni
ty to aid them. Mr. DfLYIS Pearson, whose card is
elsewhere published, offers for . sale one hundredcar
loads of coal, and will divide the entire proceeds
equally between the two organiiations. This vory
liberal gift should realize several thousands of dol
lars.
After the nomination of General Oglesby for
Governor had been made by the Illinois Union Con
vention on Wednesday last, the General was intro
duced, and returned thanks in a patriotic address.

Torpor resulted in the choico of William Bross, of
the Chicago Tribune, whereupon Mr. Bross, being
loudly called for, came forward and said :

Only thank you heartily for the honor conferred in
placing une on your ticket. In - this great contest in
which we are engaged, two iMportant powers are

of the ticket has gloriously-and successfully wielded
the sword at the head of our gallant, and noble; and
patriotic soldiers. [Cheers.] The otherpower—the

Convention. The sword and the press and the
people will put down this accursed rebellion.

A large delegation of Baptist clergymen from
Philadelphia waited upon the President, on Satur
day mailing, to present a Set of patriotic totolti
tions. The delegation consisted of Rev. Dr. BRIDE;
Senator DOOLITTLE ; and Hon. A. Humnr.:E— They
bore the resolutions adopted by the Atnerlean
Baptist Borne Mission Society, in session recently
at Philadelphia. The resolutions endorse the course
of the President, and express the warmest wishes for
his welfare and the welfare of the country.
The presentation was made in the east room, by
Dr. Barna, in the preSence of about a hundred
persons.
The President, in reply, spoke as follows
"In the present very responsible position in which
I am engaged, I have had great cause of gratitude
for the support so unanimously given by all Chris.
tian denominations of the country. I have had
occasion so frequently to respond to something like
this assemblage, that I have said almost all that I
had to say.
‘, This- particular body is, in all respects, as re
spectable as any that have been presented to me.
The resolutions I have merely heard read, and - I,
therefore, beg to be allowed an opportunity to make
a short response in writing."

THE . TEN-FORTY LOAN.
The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the

with undetached coupons at the full amount of their

The subscriptions to this popular loan continuo to

ternal revenue and tariff acts were in full operation,
the revenue from these sources would, it is thOughti
pay the entire expenses of the Government. To
provide in the meantime for- the pay of the army,
and fOr_tho expenses of the great military move

1881, to the amount of $50,000,000 or 4;75,000,000, will
probably be offered through the assistant treasurers
and national banks to the highest bidders.

XXXVLUth CONGRESS-Ist SESSION
SENATE.
AII'ENDILENTS TO THE CHARTER OT 'WASHINGTON
Mr. WADE, of Ohio, called up the bill to amend the
charter of 1830, of Washington, in regard to the regis
tration of voters, the pending question being on Mr.
Willey's amendment to Mr. Sumner's negro-suffrage
proviso; Mr. Willey's being in :the following words:
Provided, however, That no such resident who is en
titled to vote elsewhere shall be entitled or allowed to
vote under or by virtue of this resolution.'.'
This amendment to the amendment was rejected.
The question was then taken on Mr. Sumner's amend
ment, as previously amended by Mr. Harlan, limiting
the negro suffrage, or permission to register to those
who lave borne arms in the United States military ser
vice and been honorably discharged, and it was agreed
to.
Mr. CARLYLE, of - Virginia, then suggested to amend
by substituting the word ' citizen" instead of "resi
dent" in the bill, so as to prevent temporary residents
and those who hold citizenship in other States from
voting here. -
Mr. WILLEY thought the amendment would not ac
complish the object, and, on motion of Mr. TEN EYCK', of
New Jers.y, the words "who is a qualified voter in other
respects,' ' was then inserted in the first line of the bill
after the word "person. "
- Mr. SUMNER then moved another proviso, giving all
persons, without distinction of color a vote, who had,
du ring the previous year; paid a tax on any estate, or
been assessed for part of the revenue of the city, &c.
After a debate, it was rejected—yeas 3, nays 27.
Some further modifications of the first amendment of
the proviso of Mr. Sumner were then made, and it was
put in the following form:
"Provided, That no distiuctiou shall be made be
tween persons who have borne arms in the military
service of the United States."
it was then rejected—yeas 18, nays 20—as follows:.

INTERCOURSE WITH STATES IN REBELLION.
'Hr. MORRILL reported a bill concerning the co mmer
chain tercourse between the loyal and insurrectionary.
States, with amendments which provide that all officers
or privates of the military or naval forces are prohibited
from buying or selling the products of such districts un

Mr. SFIERMAN advocated the retention of the .11.011 S e.
clause retaining such a tax.
Mr. POWELL. of Kentucky, opposed such a tax as
- unjust, upon the principle that it was a duplication of
taxes on an article which had heretofore been taxed:

miles from Hanover Town, dated yesterday lifter
noon at 5 P. M., has just been received.
It states that our army was withdrawn to the
north side of the worth Anna on Thursday night,
and moved towards lianovor Town, tlio place desig
nated for the crossing of the Pantunkey.
At. o'clock yesterday (Friday) Morning, §heridan,
with the first and second, divisions of cavalry, took
possession of Hanover Ferry and Hanover Pawn,
finding there only.a rebel vidotto.
The ISt Division of the Gth Cerps arrived l at 10
o'clock A. M., and he now holds the place with a
sufficient fore° of cavalry, infantry, and artillery to
resent any, attack likely to be made upon him.
The remainder of the corps are pressing forward
with rapidity.
The weather is line and the roads perfect.
A later despatch, dated at 7 o'clock this morning;
(the 28th,) from the headquarters at Magahich
Church, has also been received.
It reports that everything goes on finely. The
weather is clear and 'cool. The troops come up re-
pithy and in groat spirit, and the army will be be
yond the Pamunkey by noon.
Breekiuridg,e is at Hanover Court House with a
force variously reported at from 3,000, to 10,000.
Wiekha,m's and Lomax's brigade of cavalry are
also there.
The despatch further states that, after seizing
Hanover Ferry yesterday, General Torbert cap
tured seventy-five cavalry, including six officers ;
that the rebel cavalry is exceedingly demoralized,
and flies before ours on every occasion.
A despatch from General Sherman, dated May
28th, o A. M., near Dallas, reports that the enemy,
discovering his move to turn Altoona, moved to
meet our forces at Dallas.
Our columns met the enemy about ono miliVeast
of the Pumpkin Vine creek, and we pushed them
back about three miles, to the point where the roads
fork to Atlanta and Ittarietta.
Here Johnston has chosen a strong line, and
Wade . hasty but strong, parapets of lumber and
earth.
General Sherman's right is at Dallas, and the
centre about three miles north. The country is
densely wooded and broken. There are no roads of
any consequence.
We have had many sharp encounters, but nothing
deci.ive
No despatches from any other field of operations
have been received to-day.

PREVALENCE. ON INFECTIOUS DISEASE.
The often-repeated fears regarding the health of
this city bid fair to be realized in fact. A summer
season of gloom ; a season of interminable funerals,
Of long obituaries, and horrible death gossip, will
result, unless some change is effected regarding the
general sanitary condition of the streets, and vigo
rous-action by the Board of Health is undertaken.
At present the small-pox Is almost raging in our
Midst. Jersey City is filled with it, and New York
is scarcely freer from the scourge. Its form is viru
lent pthat of the genuine confluent disease. In some
Cases, bodies have been buried in wrapporS, having
pearly lost all shape and cohesion. A slight moni
tion of the danger apprehended has been conveyed
to the public through the motion of the Health Com
mh.,,sioners, who have directed the immediate remo
ra] of infected persons to the 'hospitals, whenever
the resident physician may see lit to request such.
Measures.
New York is about the last city in which a re
spectable man would wish to die. Even the sad
rites of burial are matters of elbowing and nudging.
Here they buffet—these corpses of men and women—
for first chances. At Greenwood Cemetery the fu
neral corteges stand in long grim lines, taking turns.
At the general receiving vault the mourners pause
only for a moment, while here or there a coffin can
be moved. There is a shunting and terrible attri
tion of box upon box; a moving of dry bones out of
the way for the new comer. Then away rattles the
cortege in a mad race for the ferries, and another
moves up and deposits its load.
After being carefully poisoned by the noxious
effluvia from reeking streets and pest-puffing
slaughter-houses and bone-boiling establishments,
men aro crowded away into their sepulchres with
the least possible solemnity and decency, the small
est possible space being considered rather too much
for such useless things as mortal remains.
THE CONVICTION OF "A7.CDRENTS."
Andrews, "the Virginian," has been convicted'
upon the charges made against him, and sentenced
to imprisonment at hard labor for three years. Be
fore sentence was passed upon him he made two
addresses; one to the jury, the other to the court.
They were characterized by much luxuriance of
expression and gibberish. The testimony given in
this ease was very brief, but of a positive character.
Andrews, it will be remembered, made his advent
upon the first of the riot days, and made an inflam
matory appeal to the snobs, urging them to resist
the draft, destroy the custom house and other pub
lic buildings, and seize the arsenal.
by
offered
himself as a leader, and was carried by the assem
bled cut-throats upon their shoulders in token of
their approbation. It appeared upon the trial that
he narrowly escaped annihilation in one instance,
Calvin Pepper, a witness, testifying that ho (Pep
per) followed Andrews with the design of lilting
him when an opportunity presented itself. Richard
Grant White, the Shakspereian commentator, was
one of the witnesses, and testified to facts which,
like some of his annotations upon the bard, were
rather immaterial.
Mr; Blankman, counsel for defence, asserted, by
way ;of extenuation, that Governor Seymour, of
New York, and Judge Woodward of Pennsylvania,
had expressed opinions similar to those of Andrews,
which must be consoling to tho former brace of
beings.
Andrews declared, in the course of his speeches,
that if it was treasonable or criminal to oppose the
draft, he admitted himself guilty. The peroration
was as follows:
" Strike me, your Honor ;'strike me down ! But
when you strike, concede to me the claim I assert
of a free citizen, of a sovereign citizen of this free
Constitution. Concede to all men their rights—
liberty of speech, liberty of thought, liberty of ac
tion, under all circumstances whatever. That I
ask, and no more. Your Honor, I have done.n.
The court refused to striko him; however, but con
ceded him liberty of speech; liberty of thought, and
liberty of hard labor in Sing Sing for the space of
three years.
AN AUTHOR IN TROUBLE
A gentleman ofliterary persuasions has lately come
to grief through lack of self-control and a proclivity
for wife-beating. The gentlemen has, it appears, a
weakness for occasional crapulous indulgence, and
while laboring under the Micas thereby induced
has been given to the criminal practice before re
ferred to. If any proportion of the stories related
of him in this connection Is capable of substantia
tion, he is certainly deserving of no profound com
miseration.
- Of the lady it is said, "afflictions sore long time
she bore," until patience ceased to be a virtue, and
she entered a complaint at the magistracy against
her erring spouse. Summary incarceration follow
ed ; and in penniless misery he now suffers the
penalty of his pugilistical insanity.
Some ten or twelve years ago this same gentleman
was nearly involved in a' duel, though, probably,
through no fault of his own. In some manner he
aggrieved a Bostonian, who, smarting under the in
sult (personal chastisement, I believe), wrote a,
rather affected challenge, leaving everything in his
hands but the "time," which he - stipulated should
be as early as possible. The man of letters, averse
to personal perforation, very sensibly declined the
honor of puncture, and the affair resulted in the ar
rest of the challenger:
POLITICAL AIcD MILITARY CEITIOII33I.
The Republican press is bestowing severe censure
upon Governor Seymour's letter to the District At
torney, directing him to procure the indictment of
the United States officials concerned in the suppres
sion of the World and Journal of Commerce. In this
connection, some rather unpleasant allusions to the
gubernatorial speech of July last have been made,
and his severe principles regarding the pre-emi
nence of the laws applied to the somewhat unruly
action of his ' , friends during that notable month.
The general ground upon which all this censure
seems to be based is the inexpediency of such a step
under existing circumstances. The fact is, how
ever, that any attempt to got at the real logical gist
of the editorials now served up in our dailies, is-ne
cessarily futile. The- prevailing style is non-com
mittal, non-lucid, and Germanesque.
The editorial treatment applied to the now famous
Argilelles case may be similarly characterized. No
reader can sufficiently concentrate the radiated
opinions set forth to comprehend the exact point:at
which they are intended to culminate. Of course,
there Is much profound speculation indulged in re
garding the legality or illegality of the arrest,
strictly speaking; but this opaque speculation Is so
far overshadowed by eulogies upon the stern ques
tion of politico-morality involved therein that its
exact value is far from ascertainable.
General Butler and his campaign have become
leading topics for debate. The General is being
somewhat harshly criticised for the suppositions
miscarriage of his plans for the reduction of Bleb
mond. The Times, in an article upon the superior
ability of West Point graduates, joins Sigel in the
same category, and sneers at the claims of civilian
generals. General Banks was read out long ago.
GENERAL ITEMS
Ernst Francis Dietz, a gentleman of German de
scent, is presenting his claims as the inventor, or
rather discoverer, of "perpetual motion," as well as
of a method for applying it as the motive power to
machinery.
The sale of the great Bohn collection of books
bids fair to eventuate in "slaughter." An average
of from forty to fifty cents per volume is all that
has thus far been obtained. This result_was alto
gether unexpected, Bohn's publication.s haring al
ways heretofore commanded large and remunera
tive prices., even under the hammer.
John Bradburn is republishing Dickens' new
novel, "Our Mutual Friend," in monthly parts,
similar to those which are now being issue in Lon
-:don. -He has also just issued "Ye Book of Bub
bles," a companion volume to .Loar's (English)
Book of Nonsense." It contains Illustrations by
Barley, Eoppin, Beard, the satirical painter, and
other artists of repute.
The Florences are playing, at Winter Garden, in
Byron's burlesque of "Fra Diavolo." 'Bel De
monio" is attracting immense audiences at Niblo's
Garden.
The draft is being enforced in Jersey City, and
Hoboken, although this' city, as yet, escapes the
manifest destiny of the conscription. Why New
York should be absolved from bearing Its proportion
of the general burden, no one - pretends to under
stand. Doubtless there is some important reason
for granting this immunity, and, as far as our citi
zens are concerned, no querulousness has yet been
exhibited upon the subject. The Common Council
of Jersey. City has voted to 'pay the exemption
money for the conscripts. Some legal objection
prevents a similar action on the part of the Hoboken
authorities, at which the residents in that benighted
locality are highly indignant. STUTVICSANT.

A medical analysis which Mr. TIIII3BEL had made
for the purpose, shows that his Bitters are eminently
calculated to relieve the dyspeptic, and afford that gentle
stimulant necessary to assist the weak and infirm to
bear with the fatigues of daily life. The time will come
when these Bitters will supersede thepoisonous drinks
now imbibed at our public bars, and when this chamois
takes place we shall hear of fewer cases of mad drunk
enness endless deaths from delirium tremens. --Brook

SPECIAL NOTICES_
THE ADULTERATION OF bPIitITUOITS LI
QUORS. —What with the increased duties on imported
spirits and the heavy taxes on fourth-proof domestic li
quors, an immense quantity of alcoholic preparations
are thrown upon the market as representatives of the
regular spirits used as beverages, such as whisky,
brandy, gin, and rum, tbe former now being about as
difficult to obtaia pare and unadulterated as it used to
be common and of good quality. The result of the
scarcity of good spirituous liquors has been to introduce
into the market a species of beverage composed of pare
spirits combined with some tonic vegetable extract, the
compound being known as Bitters. These - "Bitters"
are, generally speaking, as far superior to the spirituous
liquors ordinarily retailed at bars and taverns as poSsible
and much less injurioug than even the best spirits are,
for their tonic effects counterbalance the inflammatory
action that accompanies all alcoholic drinks. But even
in the manufacture of this class of popular beverages,
there is more or less adulteration, and therefore care is
required in making a selection, in order that the best
quality may be procured:
The best in the market that we have yet seen is that
known as the Golden Bitters, " which is warranted of
the best materials, and composed of extracts from purely
vegetable sources.-

WHAT THE HIAWATHA DOES.
It restores faded and gray hair and whiskers to their
original color. It brings np the natural shading of one
hair with another, thus giving the hair a perfect life
appearance, so that the most critical observer cannot
detect its use. It makes harsh hair soft and silky, etope
its falling out, cleanses it and the scalp from all impu
rities, is as readily applied and wiped from the skin as
soy hair dressing, and entirely overcomes the bad ef•
recta of previous nee of preparations containingsulpling,
sugar of lead, Sc.
The proprietors of the Hiawatha published the fol.
towing challenge to test in the Hew York dailies three
weeks, whick
WAS NETER ACCEPTED:
Let some well known and disinterested persons ar
point one to the proprietor of each preparation for the
hair to bring no the color. Every proprietor to nee
aothing Vat his own preparation, and the person

sult to be widely published at the expense of the un
inocessful competitors. Sold everywhere.
