(64e :Itortss. TUESI )A Y, JULY 18, 1865 THE EFFECT .OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE ON THE SOUTH. 111 reorganizing the Southern States, the 'first essential requirement is that society shall be placed on a basis which will be at once firm, harmonious, productive, and practically loyal to the Federal Govern ment. We can deal only with acts ; and if the people observe the requirements of the <Constitution, pay their taxes, obey the laws of Congress, and refrain from overt 'acts of treason, it matters little, what are their opinions of dead issues and past con flicts. We want them to yield prompt and peaceful obedience to the Federal authori ties, and to such State authorities as may be established hereafter among and by - themselves. If they persist in rebelling against State Governments, they will be come almost as troublesome as if they re belled against the National Government, because it is the duty of Congress to " sup press insurrections," even when they aim only at subverting legally established local authority. The question of negro suffrage should therefore be considered in its relation to tins important responsibility as well as in its numerous other aspects. Some of its zealous advocates contend that if the colored race is not permitted to participate in their local governments they will be oppressed almost as much in a state of nominal freedom as they were when held as slaves ; that, consequently, they will re volt against their oppressors, and perpetuate -a dangerous agitation. This argument is partially answered by the efforts being made by the Freedman's Bureau to secure justice to the freedman. The Emancipation policy having been adopted by the National Government, it is morally bound to secure its complete and undisputed establishment; and this duty will doubtless be faith fully and fearlessly performed so long as a necessity for Federal intervention, to en force whatis virtually a Federal law, exists. But it is at least questionable whether if the negro were thus completely liberated and protected in all matters appertaining to his natural rights, or, in other words, put in the same legal position as the peasantry of England, he would rise up in rebellion simply to gain political privileges. The ex perience of the world on similar questions, ini this and all other countries and ages, - renders it , improbable that there would be frequent revolts to gain the right of suf frage. There have been thousands of in surrections based on many kinds of real or fancied grievances, yet very few ever originated simply in a desire to vote. In OUT own country the Consti tution of Rhode Island practically excluded poor white men from the ballot-box for many years before the Donn revolt broke out, and in South Carolina they do not ap pear to have ever earnestly demanded it. We do not state these facts as an argument against free and unrestricted suffrage, but simply as an illustration of the readiness with which the mass of mankind have habitually refrained from seeldng, by rebel lious demonstrations, the great privileges which most of the States of our Republic - wisely and justly extend to all their white citizens. We think it safe to assume, then, that the peace of the Union would not necessa rily be disturbed hereafter, if the Southern States were reorganized without negro suf frage, simply for the acquisition of that right, per se. On the other hand suppose we insist upon universal negro suffrage as an essential requisite in reorganization, we must then accept, among the logi cal consequences of such a constituency their elevation to offices of all descriptions, for it is impossible to expect any class of voters to perpetually proscribe their own race and color. It is within the bounds of possibility thatin South Carolina and Ipssis sippi, whose colored population outnumber the whites, a negro Governor and a majo rity of negro legislators may be elected. The most, probable political combination in such an organization is precisely that which President JbMICSON predicts, viz.: that the large slaveholders and the rich and aristo cratic classes who have heretofore ruled the South, would combine with the negroes, from whom they are too widely separated by social influences to engender jealousy or personal rancor in either race ; and in -a party of this material the whole political power of a number of the Southern States might be eventually lodged. The masses of Southern white non-slaveholders have a much more intense animosity to the negro than many of the white men of the North, and it would be -almost impossible to array these hostile classes at any election polls in support of ,the same ticket. In the North, there have been repeated instances of the influence which antipathies of race among men of the same color exercise upon our political contests; and this strong feeling, intensified, must naturally be anticipated, if negro suf frage is established by Northern power and influence in the South. It should be re membered here, too, that the few Southern men who have remained truly loyal are al most unanimous in their opposition to negro suffrage. If we establish it, loyalty and dis loyalty will no longer be the dominant issue in the South. We will precipitate a political conflict of races, which will be liable at any moment to break out into open local civil war, without any reference to antagonism to the Federal Government. Its rights have been so triumphantly vindicated that all parties must soon abandon further op position. to them as foolish and hopeless. But the antipathies of race, unjust and wicked as they may appear to the humane and enlightened, are so deeply rooted_ that we should scarcely-deem the experiment a very safe one anywhere in this country, which arrayed in opposite parties of about equal numbers whites and blacks. It is well for the humanitarian, who is chiefly interested in the welfare of the latter, to consider, too, whether the political tri umph of the negroes, after a heated party contest in the Southern States, would not be one of the most questionable benefits that could be conferred upon them. Practically, we know that the negro has submitted to the domination of the whites. Is it equally certain that the whites will submit to the domination of the negroes ? Will the peo ple who rebelled against the Federal Go vernment, simply because their right to extend slavery was threatened, quietly sub mit to be governed by negro voters and negro officials ? Can we create such Go- vernments - without expecting to sustain them perpetually with Federal bayonets ? Some very strong arguments in favor of negro suffrage have been adduced by its friends, but the subject should be carefully considered in all its betuings, before final conclusions are adopted. In the practical 'workings of government the prejudices of a people must •sometimes be consulted, as well as pure reason: The greased car tridges of the British Government caused the Sepoy revolt. Nothing could be more absurd to a Christian, yet nothing was more reasonable and inevitable to a worshipper .of Brame.. A DISGBACED JUDGE. •The PArancnwron Ministry has received -a heavy blow, which, no doubt, will tell strongly against it at the General Election. The House of Commons has passed a strong vote of censure on the Lord Chan cellor of England for misconduct. He has really been condemned for a nepotism which is almost without precedent—the natural desire of a man to put his sons and other near relations into offices of high sta tion and large emolument. The motion was carried Without a division, and " amid loud cheering," and the result was the re signation of the Lord Chancellor, which the Queen has "most graciously" accepted. Lord WESTBURY, of course, will have the usual retiring pension for life of $25,000 per annUM. On the death of _tad CAnrnm, four years ago, Sir B W D•BETHEL, Attorney General of England, born in 1800, was ap pointed to succeed him as Lord Chaneellor, , and took his seat "on the woolsack as Baron Westbury. Hi s patent of peerage bears date June 21, 1851, and in the Court of Chancery be proved himself to be a very able equity lawyer. As presiding officer of the House of Lords, he was aggressive, contemptuous, saucy, and overbearing. As the Irishman said of another man, "he conciliated a great deal of hatred" in his own person. The Lords greatly.disliked and scarcely tolerated the parvenu peer. We take it for granted that some of our contemporaries, with the usual audacity of ignorance, will say that since the malfea sance in office of Lord BACON, (as he is usually but incorrectly called,) there has been no instance of an English Judge being thus condemned for corrupt con duct. They will scarcely mention, for perhaps they do not know, that THO MAS PARKER, Earl of Macclesfield, ap pointed Lord Chancellor of England in 1718, having been impeached by the House of Commons in 1725, was convicted of having sold certain lucrative chancery offices to incompetent and irresponsible Persons, and with having been otherwise corrupt, and for money. He was tried and convicted by ninety of his peers, without a dissentient voice, and condemned to pay a fine of $150,000, to be imprisoned in the Tower until it was paid. Of course, he was turned out of office. Lord WESTBURY, more lucky, will. retire, without trial, on the usual pension of $25,000 a year. AUTOGRAPHS. Not long ago, autograph-collecting was generally sneered at as the "Autograph Mania," but a more liberal estimate is now made, and it is conceded that the collectors have rescued from destruction a great many documents which have not only personal bit, frequently, even historical value. For example, the original Magna Chute, grant ed by King JonN, in the year 1215, and generally considered to be the " Charter of Liberties" upon which the social and poli tical freedom of the British people is based, is of the greatest value. It bears the seal of the King (who could not write,) and of a large number of the nobles, and is now to be seen in the British Musenm. Yet this identical document would have been lost but for the observant good sense of an antiquarian, who was also a collector of autographs. Having occasion to visit his tailor, he found that artist about cutting up a piece of old parchment, to convert it into "measures." On examination, the parchment was recognized as Magna Charts, was rescued from destruction, and was sur rendered to proper official custody, as the property of the nation. By the way, there are two originals of Magna Charts in the Cottonian collection of manuscripts, in the British Museum, and this has puzzled many persons—like the duplication of OLIvER CROMWELL'S skulls ; one being shown in the Ashmolean Mu seum at Oxford, and another in Cam bridge ; the latter, being comparatively undersized, was represented, by a former exhibitor, as "the head of CuomwEnn— when he was a boy." The fact is, both the copies of Magna Charta are original. Many copies were made, in 1215, for distribution among the counties, and a copy was sent to each cathedral, and ordered to be pub licly read therein twice every year. The most accurate and complete copy is that still preserved in Lincoln Cathedral, and a facsimile of this has been engraved by order of the late Commissioners on the Public Records of England. The Great Charter, as well as the Charter of the Forests, is in Latin. It may seem strange, yet is very true, that Magna Charta, ex acted by the nobles of England from a King who desired to be more absolute than they liked, was specially framed to preserve their own rights and privileges in a word, to give power to the nobility and the landowners. The word "villein," 'Which denotes the mere cultivators of the soil, mechanics, and poorer classes, occurs only once in Magna Charts, which in cluded all freemen generally. As the vil leinage gradually disappeared, and the serfs became freemen, they came under the pro- tection of the Great Charter. - The collection of autographs has induced various persons, in this and in other coun tries, to deal largely in them. Here, the trade has not yet become extensive, but a great deal of money changes hands, on this account, in London, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. Every dealer in a large way of business publishes priced catalogues, alpha betically arranged, in which each specimen offered for sale is specifically described, choice sentences from the most interesting letters extracted, frequently with com ments, and sometimes with general memo randa about the writer. We have before us, through the politeness of Mr. Jonit PRICINGTON (who will soon have the plea sure and advantage of being our neighbor in South Seventh street,) the last number of Mr. Joint WALLER'S Catalogße. Near to Temple Bar (on which, even during the last centur3 the heads Of executed traitors were exposed to the gaze of the multitude,) Mr. WALLER'S book-store is to be found. It was established, for the sale of autographs and books, as early as the year 1821, and every autograph collector in 'Europe knows the place. The catalogues always distinguish the quality of the ware, by designations which are abreviated in this manner : A. L. S., autograph letter signed ; L. S., letter signed ; D. S., document signed. There ought to be a fourth class—the simple signature. Of this last we give a few instances, from WALLER. The first article in his new catalogue is the signature of Prince ALBERT, the late husband of Queen VICTORIA, described thus : "Envelope with Black Border and Royal Seal, addressed to the Duke of Wel lington, FieldMarShal, etc., signed ALBERT; interesting specimen." The price is three dollars. Four autograph lines from VroTonta. to the Duke of WELLINGTON, merely signed " The Queen," and a dinner list, which she had signed "V. R," eighteen months before her marriage, are put down at nearly two dollars each. A. document signed and annotated by the Duke of WELLINGTON, during the campaign.of 1815, is priced at two guineas and a half, and the mere sig nature, with his left hand, of NELSON, at three dollars. A letter from "Tim Bobbin," (alias .Tonn COLLIER) who wrote amusing and satirical verses in the Lancashire dialect, is marked at $6, which is not much, as speci mens are rare. A long letter from the Earl of BUTE, who was the first Prime Minister of GEORGE the Third, is set down at four dollars ; it is addressed to Sir JAMES WRIGHT, minister at Venice, and instead of politics, relates to pictures, articles of Virtu, list of plants and seeds for the Abate Forcetti's collection, and speaks of the exotic garden of Kew, as the richest in Europe. "I have been for these ten years getting plants and seeds from every corner of the habitable world." A letter from THOMAS CARLYLE, with only his initials, written last August, is one dollar, and says: "I feel painfully your situation, but can do nothing to better it. I enclose a draught of five poundk, altogether the last I can afford for that object." A long letter from Dr. Cipumzus, the great Scotch preacher and author, is marked so low as five shilling& A legal opinion, eight Coax, the great Eng lines, by Sir EnwAR D lish lawyer, who died in 1634, is nine shil lings. It is signed with his initials only. The full signature would have quadrupled its value. A. single-page letter from Sir Jour; CoTE., who was defeated by "Bonnie Prince CHARLIE," at the battle of Preston Pans, in 1745, is set down at three dollars. This is a low price for an autograph which is very rare. DICKENS, DISRAELI, W. T. Arriewoicrn, BAILEY (the sculptor), Lord CAIarEELL, Madame CELESTE, J. P. COLLIER, Miss BURDETT COETTS, ELLIS, the Missionary.; Mrs. Goa; the novelist;. IIAyDON, the painter; BulisoN E. HILL, the comedian ; DOUGLAS .innuoto, LAFAYETTE, SIT ED WIN LAMEMI, the painter; bir THOMAS, LAWRENCE (who succeeded BENJAMIN WEST as President of the Royal Academy, ) LAYARD, the explorer at Nineveh ; JnIINT LIND, Sir E. LYTTON BIILITNR, Lord MA-: cAuLAy, ROBERT Owlur, REM, the Eney- I elopedist ; SAMUEL ROG/ma, the poet.; AL- FRED TENNYSON, Sir DAVID WILKIE, the painter, and several more of the modern notabilities, are rather cheaply priced at the average of a British crown for each specimen. Among the curiosities are a Power of At torney signed, sealed, and witnessed by WILLIAM FALCONER, author of " The Ship wreck," (who was lost at sea,) and sub signed by his wife, JANE FALCONER. It is probably his very last signature, and is cheap at three dollars. There is only one autograph of FALCONER in this country, we believe and that is in possession of Mr. C. L. WARD, of Towanda. The signature o. CORNET JOYCE, who captured CHARLES If without a regular legal warrant, and who was accused, by LILLY, the astrologer, of having been the masked executioner of the unfortunate monarch, is unusually rare, and not dear at six dollars. A poem of five pages, by COLERIDGE, called " The Foster Mother's Tale," and certified to be in his handwriting, is priced twelve dollars, which is reasonable, as his autographs go. A note from the Rev. Dr. DODD, who was banged at Tyburn for forgery, is noted at a guinea and a halt We have only, seen DODD'S autograph twice. Notes by THACKERAY—one with a pen and ink sketch of Beatrix (see " Henry Esmond,") rank high—being - respectively $4 and $3. Notes from George IV. are $4 each ; also, HAYDN, the composer, at $ll for a one. page note. The signature of WILLIAM PENN, with those of seventy-six other Friends, on November 11th, 1690, is priced at three guineas and a half ($18,) and the document itself is the marriage certificate, duly witnessed, "of ALEXANDER. PATER SON, schoolmaster, of London, and RE BECCA TOMPKINS, of Aldersgate street, London, at a public meeting of the people of God called Quakers, at Peel, in St. John's street, Middx." It is on vellum, and extremely curious. Mr. WALLER, usually very correct in his memoranda, occasionally, blunders. For example, he puts down DT. WILLIAM MA GEE, Archbishop of Dublin, and author of " Discourses on the Atonement," a most valuable Christian work, as " the original Sir Morgan O'Doherty of Blackwood." The similarity of sound has misled the worthy bibliopole. Dr. WILLIAM MAGEE, the Arch bishop, was a very different man from Dr. MAorrukt, the most learned Bohemian that ever was connected with the British press. Again, referring to a letter from THOUS Mooiui, the poet, to JoHN MUR RAY, the publisher, in which mention is made of the dedication of " Don Juan" to Sourirxv, in "simple savage verse," by BrnoN, Mr. WALLER. says that this dedication " never appeared in print." As it happens, it was published by Moonn over thirty years ago, was included in MURRAY'S seventeen volume edition of Farnori's Life and Works, and, as we write, we have it before us in the beautiful single volume published by MURRAY in 1857. It is dated, " Venice, September 16, 1818," consists of seventeen stanzas in the "Don Juan " or " Beppo " measure, and com mences— "Bob Southey! you're a poet—roet-la.ureute, And representative of all the race." By this time, no doubt, all the gems in this catalogue have been disposed of. But we have enabled such of our readers as collect autographs to know, what the trade prices are now in London. They are Dinh higher in Paris and Vienna. TICE BARE FACT that Great Britain ha bitually advocates and systematically urges upon America the adoption of a free trade policy, should be sufficient to arouse our suspicions of its wisdom. The advice of our trans-Atlantic kinsmen has never been very valuable, and it has become pecu liarly distasteful and obnoxious since the rebellion disclosed their real animus. Trade interests govern English policy. When she held us as subject colonies, she crippled and controlled our commerce and indus trial interests in the most barbarous and tyrannical manner, sending to us slaves, whom we did not want, simply that her shipowners might,gain large profits by an infernal traffic ; forbidding us to establish manufactures, which interfered with her home establishments ; and limiting our mar kets abroad ,by despotic laws. >She then refused to us free trade, that would have benefited us, and is now anxious to have us establish a free trade that would enrich her manufacturing interests at the expense of our own. America is too strong and vigorous to require !he teachings of any other nation ; but, if she did need a Men tor, she could not select a more dangerous and selfish one than England. THE TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO. Return orMrs. Terhune,-Strange Scenes zit the Bedside of the Suffering Girl— Impertinent and Revolting Curiosity. The papers of Chicago are filled with the most disgusting and shameful comments and incidents concerning the late tragedy in that city. From one of our Chicagd exchanges we 'take the following : The capacious appetite of the gossips is now being thoroughly satiated upon the late Ter bune-Fransted stabbing affair, which affords the most delicate food for inconsistent wives and rakish husbands. Men and women of re speetable name and fortune flock to the room where the victim of an outraged wife lies suffering from the wounds inflicted by jeal ousy. They meet there a vulgar crowd— women of the town, and their admirers, in all conditions of life. The couch of the sufferer is hoarly surrounded byan inquisitive rabble; shutting out the pure air of day, and exciting the feelings of the wounded female by the most gross and vulgar remarks. A dashing brunette, whose womanly curiosi ty bad brought her to the sick chamber, on Wednesday, was venting her terrible impre cations upon the tread of Kra. Terhune. On being asked if she thought the woman before her bad any right to rob Mrs. Terhune of her husband's affections, she gayly replied, in hear ing of the patient,that she had a perfect right, "it she was smart enough to do it." Instead of proving a lesson to women who seek daily to gain the affections of men who have quiet and loving, wives and families at home, thereby estranging them and breaking up their happy domestic relations, this affair seems only to have excited their vulgar cu. riosity. Among those who visit Miss Fransted daily, are the happy wives of devoted hus bands, who go to see the woman whom they can think of only as a monster. Conscious that in their paths are lurking the same class of females, and seeking daily to rob them of their husbands, they look upon Miss Fransted with utter loathing. To them Mrs. Terhune is a heroine. They can imagine her despair at having her home invaded, and the angel of content driven out by the demon of nidoll - They may have felt •something of the bitter pangs of jealousy which burned in her heart And, alas I they may fear that some woman is even now sharing their hus band's affections, and quietly but surely steal ing their peace, and undermining their happy home. Of such persons as these, is the crowd that has daily visited Miss Fransted's room since the fearful tragedy occurred. And still she is kept lying upon a narrow couch, in an office as public as any store in Chicago, a spectacle for the curious multitude to gaze upon. Why is she not removed to her own quiet rooms, for it is known that she has such in this city? Why is she kept where the nauseating fumes of an apothecary-shop would soon stifle the nerves of a well woman? It is singular that a patient suffering from such a horrible wound in the eye should be kept in a light room, • the wound uncovered. It had the ap pearance, yesterday, of being badly inflamed, and yet everybody was allowed to gaze at it. A deep cut so near the brain will prove fatal if allowed to gangrene as brain-fever will be the inevitable result: Undoubtedly Miss Fran sted has all the care possible where she now lies, but she should be removed to a quiet place at once, and the blinds drawn down between her and the curious tnrong. Miss Fransted was in a very depressed state of mind all day yesterday, and suffered terri bly from her wounds. It seems almost impos sible for a female to recover from the terrible shock she has received, to say nothing of the mental sensations. She is in mortal fear that Mrs. Terhune will find her way to her bedside, and finish the job she has begun. At every step on the stairs, yesterday, she would start nervously, fall back upon her pillow, and en quire if it was her! This was not delirium, but actual, sensible fear of a woman she has given 'cause to hate tier. She appeared con- Sci Ons of this, yet refused to speak of her re lations with 9 .ltir_ Terhune. She has engaged Mr. 111: D. Brown, No. 120 Dearborn street, as her counsel, who will at once commence a suit against-both Mr. and Mrs. Terhune for de-. - wages. The regular examination will come off before Justice T. 13. Brown, on Saturday, the district attorney for the prosecution. Two suits will thus grow out of the affair, which will excite much interest, as they will be warmly and ably bust:doe& by the different , counsel. The only defence that .Mrs. Terhune will attempt to make will be that of justitication on the part of an outraged wife; and Just here is suit of a field for two fluent attorneys to expatiate upon at length, which, being their oulyone, they will not fail to do pretty thoroughly. It is understood that Mr. 'Terhune has some pro perty, which the suit for personal damages Is brought to secure for the now almost sightless women, whose duplicity was the direet cause of the sad event. Mrs. Terhune was yesterday morning set at liberty, three gentlemen signing a bond for her appearance at court. It, is understood that they know nothing of Mrs. Terhune person ally, but that they became her surety at the urgent request of her attorneys. Their names. are Joint Alston, James H. Hose and William Lewis. Before being released, Nrs. Ter - lame become very trifle nt in her ce/I,,and pro.

The more this sad case is investigated, the mote it inlpresees itself apOn the mind, as one of up) Ectrangest and most inexplicable events of the day. Here is an imprisoned and in dicted woman, still protesting her intention to murder the female who dishonored her home and stole the affections of her husband. She regrets that the dagger failed to do its work, and openly says she meant to kill Miss Fransted. On the other hand, the victim shud ders at every, sound, still fearful that the avenging wife is upon her track. Opinions aro various upon the affair, and are freely expressed. Wives erimmisserato the unhappy Mrs. Terhune3 the women and rakish husbands condole with MISS Preluded. All in all, there has not beenauch a delicate morcevu for the palate of gossip in many a month. Inconstant husbands should impress it well upon their minds; it is a hit of bossip that, however unpalatable, may prove eneficial. A special despatch to the Missouri. Democrat, dated Springfield, July 15th, says: At the meeting of the National Lincoln Monument Association to-day, the following address was presented by Governor Oglesby, and adopted by the Association: " STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXECUTIVE MANSION " SPRINGFIELD, July 14, 1865. " (ffieers mid Soldiers of our Armies, and O f ficers, Marines, and Sailors of our Navy: "Ey the Board Of Directors of the National Lincoln Monument Association I am requested to make an appeal to you to aid the noble enterprise we have in view, to erect over the remains of Abraham Lincoln, our late President, a suitable and enduring Monu ment to his memory. I have chosen the pre sent auspicious' time to do so. Your duties voluntarily assumed, the National Govern ment are about to terminate. You are return ing from victorious campaigns and from a war now happily ended, In which, with him, you were all engaged to save our country from division, destruction, and ruin; returning to enjoy the fruits of vic tory, won under his chief direction as the con stitutional head of the army and navy—your constant, steady,and faithful friend, your wise adviser and your companion in all the trying and annoying difficulties which go to make up the life of the soldier during the frightful period of real and terrible war. Thousands of you have already been honorably mustered out of the service, but many thousands mote are awaiting and preparing soon to be. Your organizations will all in a short time have only an historical existence. You arc to be scattered all over a peaceful country in homes made happy by your own noble ef forts. Yon live to enjoy in all its splendor the liberty of a nation that cannot die; but be whom we chiefly honor has not been spared to realize the splendid results, the hopes of every day for four long years, nor to meet and encourage us by his kind salutation:3, by his ahnost infinite wisdom to counsel -duct direct us through the perils of political strife, almost certain to follow the sudden return of peace, the flight of which four years ago brought men to their senses and upset the trade of those who alwirys sought, and always will, to Create discord for personal advance ment, Is it not fit, then, soldiers and sailors, officers and men', that you who have been so long in this close relation to this great and good man, should emulate the generous Spirit of all those regiment% and companies 'who have sent contributions to our association to the amount of many thousands of dollars, for the purpose stated and in like manner, as they have done, send us contributions in such SUMS as will be reasonable 'and yet of suffi cient magnitude to warrant ' the universal re putation you have for liberality, as regiments or companies, before your organizations are broken up or as individuals afterwards. Let the monument we shall raise over his dead body,`'whatever form it may assume or how ever long in its construction, be the work of a nation, the kind Offering of every branch of industry, of education, of religion, of the arts of commerce, of every State and Territory, of all grades and shades of life, and all ele ments of our society; but especially let every soldier anti sailor who bore the bur dens which have made this man immortal, add to its dignity the sanction of their volun tary support and the encouragement of their endorsement. Let it be said that the same men who fought his battles and bore high the colors of the Republic, brought garlands to his grave and offerings to his memory. Let us ad mit the debt of gratitude a generous people owe their noble dead. It is proper that you should be especially informed on the subject ; indeed, it seems to be required. that all the facts of our history, organization; or success, should be made public again, that there may be no misunderstanding, no two ways of talk ing about how, when, and where the Menu ment is to be built. The association was or ganized finally on the 11th of May, 1865, at Springfield, Illinois, under all act of our-Legis lature, approved February . 24, 1852. The arti cles of the association are in compliance with that law, filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and are public records. Anrier.r. 1. This association shall be called The National Lincoln Monument Association, and be located at Springfield, State of IllillolB, and shall continue in. existence for the term of twenty . years. Any. 2. The following persons shall be the directors of this association during the first year of its existence : Richard T. Oglesby,Sha ron Tyndall, 0. IL Miner, James H. Beveridge, Newton Bateman, John T. Ste Wart, Jesse K. Du bois, 0. M. Hatch, Jas. C. Conklin, Thos. J. Den nis, John Williams, Jacob Bunn, R. H. Melvin, Samuel H. Treat, David L. Phillips, allof whom are members for twenty years of the associa tion. We have obtained from the city of Spring field a deed to about four acres of most beautiful ground, on which Mr. Lincoln now lies buried, near the city of Springfield, adjoining Oak Ridge Cemetery, accessible at all seasons of the year, with such a location and such-ad vantages as to make it at some future time one of the most lovely and enchanting spots upon earth. There is a perfect agreement be tween the association Mrs. Lincoln and the family of the late President, as to the location of the grounds and the special place where his remain& are to finally lie. We shall, in a short - time, prepare the vault for his final resting place, and as soon as the subseriptione shall have reached a sum to justify something like a correct estimate, we shall decide and make the necessary preliminary arrangements for beginning the monument. We have now in the hands of our treasurer over thirty thou sand dollars. As fast as contributions are re ceived they are, by order of the Board of Direc tors, invested in interest-bearing Government Securities. It is our intention, at the proper time, to consult the very best taste and talent in the country as to what shall bathe material for the monument ; what shall be its size, form, 'construction, and cost; but we desire, above all things, first to secure such a sum of money as shall justify us in erecting, if possible, a monument which, in every respect, shall tit and appropriately illustrate and perpetuate the life, character, and Virtues of Mr. Lincoln, *bile both our national taste and wealth shall be represented by it. James H. Beverly State Treaeureri-is the treasurer of our association, to whom all contributions, donations, and sub• seription are to be forwarded and communica tions on the subject addressed. • R. G. OGLESBY, President of the Association. The Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther ford. Railroad. We are advised that the Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Railroad will be fully re paired and opened for traffic from this city to its western terminus during the present, or early next week. This work has been prose cuted with commendable energy, and the re opening of the road will.throw into the hands of our merchants a large amount of produce that has for more than a year been awaiting a market, and so greatly stimulate the business of the town. The Charleston papers contain an advertise ment of the reopening to-day of the Northeast ern Railroad throughout its whole length. The Wilmington and Manchester Road, con necting with the above at Florence, and form ing the old-established through route between this city and the. South, will be fully repaired and reopened to the public in about thirty days. A very large force of workmen is em ployed upon this line, and no efforts are being spared to expedite its completion. A notice appears elsewhere in this paper calling a meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company, preparatory to putting themselves in a posi tion to receive their line back from the Cevernment. We understand that the Go- NT.rnment has signified its readiness to turn this road over to the company whenever the company shall be qualified, under the terms of the amnesty proclamation, to re ceive it. Thus probably: within sixty days at farthest, all our lines of travel will be re-established, and Wilmington will once more be upon the great highway from the North to the South and on the line over which the great through mails are transported. Then will our busi ness receive a new impetus, and prosperity indeed will dawn upon us.— 'Wilmington Herald, Ttilt 10th. A Strange Pantsament4 (From the Augusta, 6hroutele, June 30.3 The lower market-house was yesterday the scene of much amusement, mingled with some excitement. The cause of all this was the carrying out of the sentences passed upon the white man and negroes feund guilty of robbing Messrs. Maude Wright's store a few evenings since: Four negroes and one white man were convicted of the crime—the negroes for stealing the goods, and the white man for receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. .According to the sentence, the entire party were placarded and placed upon the tops of barrels from GA. M. until 6y. M. for two days, and afterwards serve a long ap prenticeship at hard labor in Jail. One of the negroes had a placard upon his front stating, "I am a thief ;" the next one to him bad one upon which was written "So am. I." The other two negroes who were standing by the side of those above named, had similar placards, one stating, "I will steal," the other, "So will I," and all four had placards upon their backs, upon which were written, the word "thief." The white man's placard read, "I received stolen goods!" but he was not able to stand the punishment inflicted, being taken with a fit shortly after his arrival at the market. house, and notwithstanding the efforts made to restore him, by those present, he did not seem to give any signs of recovery at the time we left the scene of punishment. There was a large crowd in attendance during the day, who seemed to be greatly pleased by the no velty of the scene. The Health of Wilmington, N„ C. The Wilmington, N. C. Herald publishes the following remarks in regard to the health of that city : , Gentlemen from Wilmington assure us that there has been no case of yellow fever in that place,. and the old citizens of the city are all enjoying as good health as is usual for the season. There has been a great deal of sick ness among the negrees and soldiers, but there is not a single ease of spotted fever in the town.—Raleigh Record, July 7. It is very gratifying to us to have to notice the magnanimity and courtesy of our contem poraries in allparts of the State in so prompt ly correcting the erroneous reports that have gone abroad regarding the health of this town. Certainly within four years there has been no time when at this particular season the health of Wilmington has been better than now. One effect of the evil reports in directing trade from us was noticed in our lost issue. One of our leading business firms, at present absent in the North, has written to their agent here advising him to close up the business and get away from the pestilential vicinity. This il lustrates the extent of circulation the report has obtained. Of course, the agent referred to smiled at the groundless apprehension and alarm of his principals. An evil report always travels faster than any other. Therefore it la that we are so pleased to see our Contemporaries seeking to undo the mischief they have unwittingly wrought us. We trust the example of tub Record will be promptly followed by all per sons and journals who have aided in destroy ing the awakening prosperity of the town. imeicose of Prominent Rebel Onteers• 13osTow, July 17.-The 2kavelier learns that a number of rebel generate have recently been released from Fort Warren.

The two o'clock train was filled with a goodly company—family groups being in the ascendancy. By the convenient ar rangements of the Camden and Atlantic Rail road Company, whole households can have an opportunity to spend a delightful Sabbath at this favorite resort without interfering with their accustomed attendance upon 1)0E10 worship. How beautiful, on this pleasant Sabbath morning, ass we sit under the shade of the trees in front of the United States, to witness the crowds of people who are passing in front Of us with their small Bibles, hymn-books, and, prayer-books, to their appointed places of worship!The waves seem to beat more gently, and the sun to shine more brilliantly. It may be fancy, but methinks we all feel better on this one day in the seven. Several churches of diffe.rent denominations are opened to-day for divine service; and thus the religious pOrtion of our community can sing the same hymns of praise, and offer up as heartfelt prayers, as well in the plain painted wooden church, with its whitewashed walls, as in the huge masses of brown-stone masonry, with frescoed arches and colored window-panes, that adorn and beautify our own dear city ; in fact, there is a solemnity in attending public worship in this place which can scarcely be felt in the fashionable churches of Philadelphia. The plainness of the place of prayer, and the majestic ocean breezes wafted through the open windows, serve to heighten the interest in the preacher's theme. The murmur of the waves, with their never-ending song, arise, and swell the chorus'of the hymn of praise as it ascends up to the throne of the great Creator, THE BATHING HOUR When the hour for bathing arrives, troops of gaudily decked damsels, puffy old bache lors, and a host of merry children, are seen issuing from the rough, unpainted frames, called bath-houses, that line the beach.

You give him the order ; after waiting a reasonable time for its appearance,and not finding it forthcoming, you become naturally indignant, and scold several of his sable companions standing near you, who smilingly inform yoti that he will be there presently. He finally makes his appearance with the required article, minus spoon, knife, or fork—when oft he goes to hunt for the latter articles, which' have been surreptitiously re moved, during his absence, by a friend of his who is taking care of the opposite table.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A WOMAN AND CHILD— TDB TURKS MURDERERS Kthrato.—We are in formed that a horrible tragedy took place in Madison county, about four miles from Lon don last week:, but our informant could not give names. We recite this awful story as we heard it. A farmer sold his farm to three men, who g-ave him $15,000 cash in part pay ment. In the evening he walked to London, leaving his wife and child at home. Some time after, a peddler, who had Often stayed all night at the house, drove up and asked permission to remain, but the farmer's wife declined, because it was doubtful if her husband returned that night, and she knew there was a largo amount of money, in the house. She remarked to the peddler that if her husband returned he would probably meet him. The peddler drove on, met the farmer and returned. As they approached the house, the farmer observed a light in a room in which he usually kept his papers, and remarked to the peddler that there were burglars in the house. The peddler produced a pair of revolvers, and the two, stationing themselves at points where the burglars would probably attempt to es cape, gave the alarm, and three men rushed out. The peddler killed two of them, when the third ran towards the farmer, who killed him. Upon entering the house, the farmer was her,. rifled to find Ids wife and child murdered. When the bodies of the murderers were exami ned, it was discovered that they were the par ties who bad purchased the farm that day, ono of them being brother-in-law to the farmer.— Dayton Journal.

The contem. plated subdivisional and other surveys will sweep along westward a distance of some se venty rules in the northern part of Kansas, and an equal distance in the southern pars of Nebraska. It has been ascertained on inquiry that the legal limit trf three hundred millions of na. tional bank circulation is nearly reached, and therefore, the creation of but comparatively few additional institutions under that system will be authorized.
