EW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA.
Dur New York cotemporaries have re-
AV presented a very startling inside
,:vr of their city. The stranger Who sees
ly its grand thoronghfares, its magnifi
bt hotels, its splendid equipages, its pale
-1 residences, and its extensive stores, is
dily dazzled by these evidences of
• alth and grandeur_ But the poor man
o seeks a home sees the other side of
brilliant picture. Beneath the false
re, hundreds of thousands of unfortunate
• n, women, and children " live, move, and
ve their being" in a Pestilential atmos
• re, and amid associations and surround
s of the most dangerous and destructive
erecter. None but the wealthy can there
'oy comforts and conveniences which, in
iladelphia, are deemed indispensable by
who are not specially unfortunate. The
nary condition of New York is worse
4 . that of any other large city in the
lized world, and a large percentage of
r population Is annually swept away- by
eases engendered by the inevitable ac
mpaniments of her tenement-houses, and
the filthy streets in which human beings
e crowded together in the most deplorable
anner.
One great cause of this is alleged to be
e high taxes which are necessary to de
y the needless expenditures made bycor
pt officials. It is costing much more to
'TM New Vork badly than to govern
ondon or Paris well. And the burden of
I's wrong falls at last in the worst possible
ace—upon the struggling industrial classes;
• d in the most fatal shape, by depriving
em of decent homes, and of the great
essings of Nature—pure air, pure water,
d pure food.
The citizens of Philadelphia can never
.timate too highly the advantages (so free
d common that they are scarcely thought
,;) which they possess in the wide geo
raphieal extent of our municipality, its nu
terous dwellings, and in the progressive
d humane spirit which has characterized
whole social development. Here, one
roily to a house is the rule ; in New
"ork, it is the rare exception. Here, a large
roportion of houses are owned by their
ecupants ; In New York, real estate is con
entrated in the comparatively few hands.
• ere, nearly every industrious, married
techanie or laboring man owns or rents a
ome, which is his castle ; in New York, if
c does not obtain very large wages, he is
reed to abandon all hope of privacy and
übstantial comfort.
It must be confessed, however, that our
.wn expenditures, though far below those of
"ew York, have, of late years, still been
eavy. Now that the war is ended, our
oters cannot be too careful to check the
;rowing tendency to extravagance; because,
n the end, the burdens will fall here, as in
'ew York, upon the occupants of our
iwellings, whether they merely rent or
!wit them; and as taxes increase the cha
atter of the accommodations for the toil
e.; masses will gradually diminish.
BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY ELEC•
TIONS
The British Parliamerd was dissolved on
he 6th of this month. A General Election
now in progress, and out of the 658 seats
Iccupied in the House of Commons, at least
e-half will be contested. Estimating the
0 of each contest at an average of $20,000
to eao, candidate, (one Yorkshire election,
in whio, pious Mr. WILBERFORCE was a
candidate, cost $BOO,OOO to the winning
Artir and nearly as much to the losers,)
and assuming that only half the seats will
be contested]-328 seats at $20,000 for
each of twcicanrlidates---the money that
arm
e weeks on elietioneetnig, trill
than
to $13,160,000. Large as this sum
amour think the estimate lower than the
rea r, Yet, there. are stringent laws
aea it bribery and corruption ! Every
cal: plate makes a point of publishing an
adds to "the free and independent elec.
to-'—into whose hands, at the same time,
gents are slipping ten or twenty-pound
r 3e ; or, when' votes are scarce, paying
f to one hundred pounds for a canary
d, a cat, a guinea-pig, a rabbit, or any-
ing else belonging to the "free and inde
mdent elector," who has not yet voted,
_nd whose vote, in the last hour of the elec
,ion, may decide the contest. At election
ay, and for three weeks before, each can
didate has to hire a certain number of public
ouses in the town or the district, which
he must keep open until the battle is over—
this keeping open meaning that unlimited
eating and drinking must he supplied, from
the commencement of the campaign to the
close, to every elector who promises to vote
for said candidate, on whom devolves the
task, whether he win or lose, of paying the
tavern bills, to the items of which no objec
tion can be made by the successful man.
The taverns and public houses, how
ever, do not draw most heavily on the
purse of the candidate for a seat in the
British House of Commons. There is a
necessity, even. when the election is not
contested, of employing a certain number
of local lawyers—men who are personally
acquainted with all the electors, who can
therefore make a fair calculation of the
chances, and who must be well paid for
their services. In the event of contest,
nearly an the lawyers are employed—both
sides knowing that their influence and local
knowledge is all important. The law of
elections limits the candidates' costs to
their equal share of election hustings and
polling-places, and employing polling clerks
to check off the official vote-takers' entry;
but the actual expenses swell up to thou
sands and tens of thousands of pounds
sterling, and it is difficult to prevent or
punish this. The thing is done openly
enough. In 1847, when Lord Joint
Rummer, 'Who was then Prime Mi
nister, was one of the candidates
for the city of London, the expense
of that contest to the liberal side
was $350,000, and Lord JOHN'S share
would have been nearly s9o,ooo—a much
larger sum than he ever possessed in
a lump, up to that period. Baron ROTHS
CHILD, who was elected at the same time,
paid Lord foam's expenses and his own,
on the understanding, it was stated and
believed, that, as an equivalent, his little
Lordship should introduce, and do his best
to carry a bill removing the restriction upon
Jews sitting in' Parliament. How his Lord
ship introduced the bill, and how he con
trived "not-to do it"— keeping the word of
promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope
—is it not written in the parliamentary
history of the land ? Even now, when two
Tory candidates are in the field for the rep
resentation of the city of London, it is de
clared by public advertisements in the Lon
don papers that $175,000 had been sub
scribed to pay the expense of the contest
—and the legitimate expense being only
$5OO to each candidate, what can the
$175,000 go for ?
Whoever has read the descriptions of
contested elections, in DICKENS' " Pick
wick Papers," in WARREN'S " Ten Thou
sand A Year," and BnewEn's " My Novel,"
has a pretty accurate idea of the manner in
which these things are managed—from the
-sharp practice of little Mr. Perker at Eatans
will, and the bribery practiced by Mr. Oily
-Gammon at Yatton, to the sharp intrigues of
Baron Levy at Lansmere_ There is very little
exaggeration in these deseriptions—even
'in WARREN'S novel there is exaggeration
of manner rather than of ewe Immense
ambition to become a parliament-man, an
.unsalaried position, which involves the
living expensively in London during s i x :
months every year_ie the game generally
worth the candle ?
Lord PALM:RESTON, that cunning master
of fence, is one 'who has won at that game.
He entered Parliament at the General Elec
tion in May, 1807, by investing a few thou
sands in the purchase of a seat for the bo
rough of Newport, Isle of Wight, and has
occupied some well-paid office during fifty
out of the fifty-eight years which since have
Passed. In December, 1834, the electors of
South Hants, in which county his landed
property is chiefly situated, refused to, elect.
him, and he remained out of Parliament
for some months. But a certain Mr. JAMES
KENNEDY, who sat for the borough of Ti
verton, in Devonshire, and had great influ
ence with the electors, resigned his seat, re
commended PALMERSTON as his successor,
and brought him in. PALMERSTON, who
was Foreign Secretary, was grateful, and
very soon after the election appointed Bus
liEDY to the permanent office of Judge of
the Mixed Commission at the Havannah,
with a salary of $20,000 per annum.
Ever since, and with nothing more than
an occasional, but only nominalopposition,
Lord PALMERSTON has represented Ti
verton. The electors could not have a
more appreciative member. Every man
who has a vote, and professes to hold
PALMERsTores opinions (whatever they
may be, for the time being,) may calculate
on having one or more of his sons, ne
phews, .sons-in-law, cousins, and soon, being
provided for; at the proper age, by some
place or office in the public service, into
which he is inducted by the favor of Lord
PaurEnsrox. Whenever he dies, the
Tivertonians' will have especial cause to
grieve over his loss—unless they haVe the
good fortune; Which happens rarely to one
borough, to be again represented by a
Prime Minister. As it is, his Lordship
need not dread opposition at Tiverton.
On the day of election he will appear on
the 'hustings, be re-elected in five or ten
minutes, male a speech upon general
topics, (not 'including Lord WESTBURY'S
case,) give a dinner at the hotel to a score
of friends, run off by the train before " the
swam hours have commenced, travel all
night, arrive at Cambridge House, Picca
dilly, (his private residence,) in time for
bath and breakfast, and walk down to his
office in Whitehall, as gay as "a lark, and as
fresh in appearance as if he were only forty,
years old instead of eighty.
ABOITT IItIISEIIMS.
The fire had scarcely destroyed Ban
nom's Museum in New York, before that
indefatigable manager commenced making
arrangements for the construction of a new
establishment. Yet no attempt was made
to rebuild his museum here. The effort to
organize some such institution in Callow
hill street proved a failure ; and the various
collections which are at nearly all times
maintained in some parts of our city, are
not sufficiently extensive to attract our
citizens generally. Li former times, OUT
museums were flourishing and prosperous';
but they have entirely faded from our horizon
of amusements, and can never be restored
until tact, capital, and enterprise combine
to organize a first-class institution, which
will abound with novelties and objects of
rational and enduring interest. It is
scarcely probable that such an effort will
be made ; but while our New York cotem
poraries are busy in discussing Barnum's
new projects, and urging all sections of the
country to swell his collection by volun
tary contributions, we can scarcely suppress
a regret that no Philadelphian is disposed
to embark in a similar undertaking. The
wonderful impromptu collection made in
our city by the managers of the Great Cen
tral Fair shows how rich this region
is in rare and valuable curiosities, and
what an abundance of the choicest material
for a permanently attractive exhibition ex
ists. The only problem is to combine the
resources and tact necessary to organize
and put in good working condition such an
establishment. This is a peculiarly favora
ble time to obtain mementos and relics of
the late war. Enough of these alone to
attract many visitors, and to form a collec
tion of enduring historic interest, could be
made with little difficulty. The arrange
ment of the Horticultural Department at
our Great. Central Pair
attractive, which could very advantageous
ly be followed, particularly if a room of the
proper dimensions was kept at a tempera
ture adapted to the growth of tropical
plants. A good collection of living, rare
wild animals would be a source of enduring
interest ' BARNUM showed good judg
ment in organizing his large aquarium
and in securing his live whale and edu
cated seal. This feature might be ex
tended until a fair approach to a zoolo
gical and tropical garden was secured, and
the living plants and animals of the most
distant regions, produced in a grand com
bination. The tendency of the age is
realistic. Our theatres make some of their
best hits by producing scenes in which real
water, real fire, or a real garden is intro
duced on the. stage. Commonplace as the
effect may be, it gives verisimilitude to the
performances. This same craving for re
ality should be consulted by the manager of
a museum. Even if such an institution as
we describe were not located in the very
heart of our city, all points are now so ac
cessible by the passenger railway cars that
a sufficient attraction would draw large
crowds to 'any reasonable location. Logan
Square was crowded every day and even
ing while the Great Central Pair was in
operation—no one objecting to it as too ills
tant--and some site at a convenient point
might be found where the requisite land
could be secured for a moderate price.
When •we remember what crowds
thronged to see the Gallery of Arms and
Trophies, the WrixtAm PENN Parlor, the
Berks County Kitchen, the Horticultural
Collection, the Picture allery, the Smoking
Saloon, the Indian and Sleight-of-hand
Departments, and various other branches
of the Central Fair, although separate
prim of admission were charged for each,
we cannot doubt that a good museum,
milting to some such features an attractive
performance, would prove a success. At
present, a necessity for a new Circus build
ing is felt by the managers of those exhibi
tions—the old location at Eighth and Wal
nut having been converted into a theatre.
It is said to be Be.antna's intention to de
vote a portion of his new museum to eques
trian entertainments for three months
during the winter, and a similar combina
tion might be practicable here. If a
"showman" of the requisite capacity and
energy, starting out with a programme ,
similar to that. e have roughly sketched,
were to make the proper effort,' we think
he would find hearty encouragement from
many of our citizens.

New YORK, July 18.
Our city has been, for the past four or live
days, submerged in a sea of melody. The
German has invadeti_thiicity, and what with
his warbling and genial disposition has set
dverybotly " a singing" snatches from Verdi,
Strauss, and Meyerbeer. On Sunday the ninth
SAngerfeSt was inaugurated, and on Monday
night the.grand concert, in which over two
thousand singers participated, was given intim
Aeademy of Music. This was a very brilliant
affair, and attracted to that temple of music
one of the largest, as well as one of the most
fashionable and enthusiastic, audiences that
ever assembled there. Last evening the se
lected Sangerbunds sang "at the mark," or
rather, competed for prizes.
The principal
societies from 'your city, Buffalo, Ilartford,
Washington, and Baltimore entered into the
contest, all of them doing exceedingly well.
To-day the local societies and their guests had
agrand parade through Broadway, after which
they proceeded to Jones , Wood to spend the
rest Of the day in pick -nicking and to receive
the prizesthat had been awarded, and of which
the Philadelphians took so fine a share. The
Turners and German militiaregiments turned
out as escort, and assisted in making the dis
play one of a rare and imposing character.
To-morrow the German Singerbunds from
abroad will leave for their homes, and permit
the city once, more to resolve itself into its
wonted condition, which, during this hot
weather, is not of the pleasantest sort, i can
assure you.
PAUL MORPHY,
the celebrated chess-player, is in town, having
arrived here about a week ago, from Now Or
leans. Paul, it seems, was quite a bitter seces
Monist as long as the war lasted, but like a ma
jority of that ilk, he now accepts things as they
are, and is willing (T) to let bygones be by
gones. While in Washington, a few days ago,
on a flying trip, he was, according to report,
"out" by his old friends. This was a check
mate not anticipated, and not considering it
all "on the square," hereturned to tills city.
The New York Chess Club Rooms have been
visited, by Paul, between whom and some
"crack" members a number of games have
been played-r Paul, as a matter of course, be
ing the winner in nearly every case, even with
great odds against him. How long he intends
to remain in this city I cannot inform you.
A - DICTUMS CHARGE
In the second number of Mrs. Grundg, Miles
O'Reilly is charged with having committed a
gross plagiarism in translating from the Latin
an ancient war-song, and publishing it as ori
ginal. Miles accordingly comes out in the
Citizen—his own paper—and berates the old
lady in a - very ungallant manner, and offers
ten thousand dollars, per authority of A. T.
etewart, the many-Millionaire, for a copy of
the Latin verses from Which the d cribbing , ' is
alleged to have been done. "it is said, in cir
cles that ought to know, that the whole affair
is a big joke—that Miles preferred the charge
against himself which appeweed in Mrs. Grun
dy, for the purpose of snaking an oPportunity
to defend himself, in his own paper, from sun
dry plagiarisms with which he knew he was
about to be, arraigned before the bar of the
literary world.
MRS. GRITNDY,
By the way, is VW equal to Punch. For weeks
before her debut the town was On the qui Dive
to know what she would say. Some sanguin
ary Bohemians predicted a glorious career for
the "old 'ooman." They said she would slash
all of the old fogies of the press most merci
lessly, and knock them completely out of thne.
Well, she has not done it. It is true that she
carries a most ferocious-looking " umbrelly,"
and a bandbox that looks as if it might con
tain a pile of hand-grenades, which she intends
to launch upon the heads of her foes ; but, after
all, she is a harmless old body, and can't possi
blY do ally harni in the world. The truth is,
that Iffrs. Grundy is a born consumptive, and
is destined to all an "untimely grave." She
is supported by a clique of Bohemians who
constitute a mutual admiration society, re
markable for nothing but a rule of action
which properly signifies "You puff me, and
hll puff you." These astute, profound, and
witty Bohemians are determined to have the
thing all to themselves, knowing that ,they
have the ability to excel Punch, whin, paper,
at a recent meeting, theyvoted "a dull and
comic nuisance," without wit, or even humor,

is Dr. Carroll, a practising surgeon, a clever
draughtsman, and a notorious joke-cracker.

COMMENTS ON THE ACQUITTAL. OF NASA HARRIS
The press of the country generally notice
the verdict of the Washington Jury in the case
of Miss Harris. We give the comments pro
and con.
[From the Washington Chronicle.]
Whether for good or evil—and we • do, not
care to enter into a discussion of the subject—
the preeedent has become pretty firmly esta
blished, by juries at least, that human life
may be taken with impunity by any woman
whose hOnor and happiness have been out
raged and destroyed by one of the other sex.
Miss Harris may have been insane, and we are
inclined to believe that her mental condi
tion was such at the time of the fatal deed
that she could hardly be held to a rigid ac
countability for her act; but, neve.rtheless,
we do not doubt that Miss Harris would
have been acquitted all the same, even had
no plea of insanity been set up in her case.
We repeat, we do not care to enter into any
discussion' of the justice, legality, or morality
of the verdict in this ease. We believe, 'how
ever, that it will be generally approved in
this community, if not as a matter of strict
justice and logic, as one of feeling and sym
path. The truth. is, there is a strong convic
tion in the public mind that the laws of the
land, and the unbending customs and usages
of society, fail to give that protection to
woman which the stronger sex do not so much
stand in need of. We leave the moral of this
lamentable tragedy, and its attendant results,
to commend itself to the hearts and con
sciences of that very large class of men
ic whom it may concern.”
[From the New York Times.'
The verdict only furnishes a new illustration
of what must be regarded as a settled prin
ciple in Atneriean law that any woman who
considers herself aggrieved in any way by a
member of the other sex may kill him with
impunity, and with an assured immunity from
the prescribed penalties of the law. The
man may, really have been guilty neither.
of a Crime against her person, an assault
upon her honor, nor an offence against her
feelings;;if she is seized by a fancy that
his course of conduct towards her is not
such as she had anticipated from his ad
dresses, she may kill him upon notice, or
without notice. If a man is murdered by
a member of the opposite sex in any of
the cases supposed, or in almost any sup
posable case whatever, She is alMost certain
to escape, not only the extreme penalty of the
law, but any penalty whatever. It were use
less to find fault with this state of things. It
is peculiar to America, and the people in
general are decidedly proud of it. There is
no ,reason in the nature of things why crim
inals of one sex should be treated with such
exceptional and dubious honor; but who shall
argue with the feelings, of the jury, backed up
by .public sentiment and by custom It is
well enough, however, that every man should
always bear the fact in mind, so that he may,
on all oceit.siOns, so comport himself in the pre
sence of the sex as nover to give any of them
a real or fanciful pretext for taking him off un
timely.
A RE3InNISCENOE CONCERNING JEFF Mr's—
How a Pennsylvania Boniface _Predicted that the
Arch Traitor would Go Out of the World Through

story told of - Jeff Phyla by a ]adynow residing,

account of the historical coincidence it bears

It appears, if we are right,that the husband of
the lady who repeats the story, was a con
tractor during the construction of the Portage
Railroad ; and while that great work was

Leaves from thii‘ , Battle . 3 , ldeit'iiiiittys;
burg,",consists of. a series . of Letters froin
rield-haspital, with NationaP , Poems,' by Mrs.
-Edlnadld A. Solider, the wife of one of the most
eminent of Philadelphia merchants. Mrs,
Bonder was one of the self-devoted women
-who, when the country was afflicted with the
horrors of civil war, quitted her home and
went to the battlo-fteld, there, in camp and
hospital, to attend on the sick and wounded;
to bestow upon them the gentle cares of kind
ness ; to eitereise towards them the tenderest
humanity. Tier book, which, from its SiMpli
city of unexaggerated detail, will be very ac-
eeptable to the public, opens with a statement
of the circumstances under which, in July
1663; immediately after the great battles at
Gettysburg were heard of in Philadelphia, she
and a few other noble-minded women went
orr to the battle-field. What they saw at Get
tysburg, how they fared, and what they did,
are described in'a series of lettere to her has
band, her brother, her sister, and to several
other relativeS and friends. The time covered
by these' letters is little over a fortnight; but
they were written while observa:tion was vivid,
and abound in little traits and touches which
show the pure mind, the gentle heart, the
liberal spirit, and the intellectual ability Of
the writer. Mrs. Sander's simple narratives
convey a more realizing idea of the horrors
which arise after a battle—even after a victory
—than we haVe yet obtained from any labored
writer.

at the time of the conflict at Gettysburg by a
young officer of the Corn Exchange regiment;

About half the volume is occupied by twenty
two National poems, or lyrics suggested by
the incidents' or feelings of the war. These,
without pretence, contain a great deal of
merit, and combine strength of thought with
grace of expression. We shall gratify our
readers by transferring one of these poems to
our columns :
SYMPATHY FROM GERMANY.
In the hour of our darkness, a soft gleam of
light
Comes o'er the ocean to cheer the sad night
We have brightlights athome 'mid the horrors
ofwar,
But sweet is the star-beam of love from afar t
Have you heard of our brothers, far over the
sea,
And their tender love for the suffering freel
Of the fourscore bales of linen line, •
Sent by our friends on the distauflThine,*
For the men Who hare nobly fought to save
The birthright the blood of our fathers gave,
Who have stood by our flag when the battle
raged high .
Content 'neath its broad folds to conquer or
diet
Linen and lint for the gaping wound
Won upon freedom's battle-ground;
Each scar an honor, in years to come
When the oliVe branch waves over Liberty's
home. I
Cretan]. and cooling the linen must prove,
Sent o'er the sea with a brother's love;
Fragrant with sympathy, earnest and warm,
For our noble eagle, now breasting the storm,
Ills talons firm grasping the arrows of war,
His eye fixed uniLinchingon.Freedom's 'bright
star.
Old England, so friendly in days that are past,
Has bowed to the crisis and bent to the blast;
To cotton alone will she bend her proud knee ;
She Joins with the rebels in crushing the free.
The heart of, our mother, Old England, has
grown
Cola as an leiele, hard as a stone !
The wrongs we have suffered, the noble blood
shed,
Are blots on her , scuteheon and dust on her
- head g
Her forges have shaped all the weapons of
deaths,
Her bullets have sped and we mourned the lost
breath;
Her sympathies given to false-hearted knaves,.
The rebels, who lain would see Northern men,
slaves;
Herglory departed—oh I never again
Can England be to us what England has been !

T. B. Peterson It Brothers have published an
octavo volume of two hundred and ten pages.
containing, from the newspapers, a generally
correct report of the recent Trial of the Con.
spirators at Washington; and an account of
the execution of the four who were capitally
convicted. It is unusually low-priced, but the
type is of the smallest size (which persons
who have regard for their eyesight may ob
ject tO,) and the wood-cuts are so coarsely
executed as to spoil the book they purpose to
illustrate. The full-length portrait of Jeffer-
SOn Davis . in his wife>s clothes, facing p. 154,
is not only a poor fancy sketch, but too ex
travagant and rude even to head a common
street-ballad. The views of Mr. Lincoln's
coffin, its lying in state, &c., might pass as
rough specimens of wood engraving three
centuries ago.

Good reading it is. In a publication
for the entertainment and instruction of young
people, care should be taken to place gramma
tical language before them; Yet here, (page
48%) in the article "Farming for Boys," we
have, "told Alice to help him wash and trim
them;" and in " The Story of a Dolly," (page
498,) we haVe, he "felt of my shoes." The pre
position to should be inserted, in the first in
stance, before the verb" wash," and the pre
position of, before " myshoeS," is Wholly super
duous. Down here in Philadelphia we prefer
the English of Old to that Of New England.

The Atlantic Monthly for August, received
from Mr. T. B. Pugh, is of more than averhge

quaint romance, "Or. Johns , . some clever
naturalist dibCOmmes of bees, in "Among the
Honeymakers,n and Mrs. Stowe continues the
"Chimney Corner." There is also a very good
biography of Mr. Bright, which, however, er
roneously states that "in 1817 the Ministers
caused his defeat as member for Durham." It
was a cathedral town, for which Mr. Bright
was elected in July, 1813, owing to a quarrel of
the voters among themselves. To our taste,
however, the most engrossing article here is
Part 8 of "Needle and Garden," in which, with
great simplicity and effect, a needlewoman de.

It appears that we shall not see Prince de

in 1833, and ordered 'their publication thirty
years after his death, they ought to ha'ie been

them to her unede's private secretary` at: de

GREENBACKS IN THE INTERIOR OF Sorra CARO.
LlNA:PartieS travelling in the interior of the
State complain that the United States paper
money , is either totally ignored or received at
a high rate of premium by the people living
in &stride beyond Columbia.
A gentle Man recently arrived in this City
states that he left his homy, which is in the
northwestern part of the State, some days age,
provided, as he supposed, with an ample sup
ply of greenbacks to defray his travelling ex
penses to Charleston. He proceeded to the of
fice of the stage route and booked his name for
a seat, and, on being told that the price was
five dollars, tendered that amount in green
backs, but was surprised at being informed
that the company were reluctant to re
ceive any other money than gold or sil
ver, but would condescend to take green
backs at the rate of one-half of their face value.
The gentleman demurred at allowing so heavy
a discount, especially when the rates of
fare were established on the basis of the pre
sent premium ongold, and on remarking to
the clerk that he did not anticipate such ex-
Orbitant prices, was curtly told by the latter
that if lie did not choose to engage a seat in
the coach, he would not be begged to do so,
and that others were ready to supply his
place. As there was but one line of coaches,
and as the gentleman was anxious to reach
the city as speedily as possible, he had no al
ternative but to pay the price demanded 'in
greenbacks and install himself as a passenger.
The result of all this was that the gentleman
reached the city with not only an emptypurse
but with some little debt hanging over his
shoulders.
Another histance is reported of a gentleman
coming front Richmond by the overland route.
At many places on the journey greenbacks
were refused altogether. This nervousness to
receive United States paper money usually
displays itself in towns not occupied by
United States force& The people labor under
the enormous impression that greenbacks
are as valueless as the Confederate bills, and,
having been once egregiously swindled., are
doubtless fearful that they may be similarly
served a second time. That such will be the
case, however, they need have no apprehen
sion. The United States finances are too
securely based to warrant any uneasi
ness as to' the- sound value of the green
backs. We would not advise any one to refuse
a bargain or a business transaction of any
kind simply because coin is not tendered in
payment. The people Of the North believe in
greenbacks as also do a majority of the peo
ple of the South who have bad opportunities
of informing themselves on the subject of the
stability, of the Government finances. The
prospect is if our friends in the up counties
decline to enter into business engagements on
the ground that gold and silver are the only
safe or legal tender, they will sadly injure
their own interests. In Charleston we see
scarcely any gold and silver in circulation,
yet every one is only too anxious to get hold
Of greenbacks. In- course of time the same
Confident feeling will doubtless exist through
out the State.—Charleston Courier.
SONORA COPPER Illitras.—A correspondent of
one of the St. Louis papers gives the narrative
of an expedition from the foot of the Sierra

Arizona, in which allusion is made to the
"insu-vellausll Nacosari copper mines as fol

"It is a most wonderful development of that
valuable ore, so lavishly and redundantly
thrown down or up there, that almost upon
the very surface one beholds masses of copper

per in it, in abundance sufficient to surfeit
the markets •of the world. I scarcely know
whether to call it a vein or lode. It is sixty
feet wide, and runs for miles. The ore is so
advantageously placed that it can be blasted
out at one dollar per tonj offering to contract
to take out five thousand tons at that figure.
No shafts or tunnels seem necessary, anymore
than on Pilot Knob or Iron Mountain. All
that is necessary is to put in a blast, and
knock off 'a ton at a pop.' Besides the cop
per, each ton contains sixty dollars per
ton of silver. I have many specimens of the

variegated as the colors of the spectrum all

The health of Jar Davis is said to be fast
failing. , A icorrespondent of the N. Y. Herald
says that there are many who think if he con
tinues his pXesent habits and despondency he
cannot live a week. One Of his eyes Is said
also to be totally blind, while. the other is fast
weakening. His habits in 'prison are much
the same. He reads a Bible a great deal of his
time, smokes some, is scrupulously clean, and
sleeps better now than when he first came to
the fort. In conversation he betrays an anx
iety, and even determination, to discuss the
subject of the, impossibility of ever convicting
him of treason. He throws himself back upon
the question of State rights as his main point
of defenee. , For some time, finding that all the
discussion was on his own side, he has kept
Silent on the subject. There is every reason
to believe that the execution of the assassina
tion conspirators in , Washington has been
communicated to Davis within the past three
or four days. It is certain that a great and
marked change has come over him, and to his
undoubted knowledge of this execution the
change is attributed. His food is of the best
quality, he has abundance of pure air, and there
is no special reason otherwise accounting
for present gloominess and decreasing health,
Every day:Mr. Clay is improving in health.
He still takes his morning hours walk, and is
in greatly improved physical condition on ac

condition to stand stronger food. He is very
lively and`chatty if he can get any one to talk
with him,and hopeful as to the future. No
thing seems to affect the physique of Mr.
Mitchel. He is apparently as good in health
as on the day he was brought here. He goes
barefooted most of the time, and takes things
coolly and quietly. His manners are not very
conciliatory, nor calculated to attach friends
to him. I'am told that he has not lately ex
pressed any fears as to the President pressing
pardon upon him.

GRACEFUL CONDI:TT OF THE BOTH NBW YORE
REGIMENT—PROBABLE MIIRDER.—There was a
busy time at the Refreshment Saloons yester
day, and we regret to statethat many of the
privates of the 60th New York Regiment were
very drunk, and behaved in an exceedingly
outrageous 'Manner, defying all law and order,
and proving themselves to be the skulitere in
the hour of battle. Drunk, abusive, and mur
derous in their intent, they arrived, and thus
entered the Deaner Shop and Union Volun
teer Refreshment Saloons. They were inso
lent, and declaimed against Philadelphia; and
With a shocking amount of the worst kind of
profanity and obscenity, declared that nobody
fought for the country besides themselves.
Theseindividuals having obtained their break
fast, separated into squads, and seemed to go
npcin marauding expeditions, supposing that
everybody was entirely. inferior to them in
point of loyalty and respectability.' A squad
Offive entered the public house of Mr. W.
Butler, at Federal street and MoyamenSing
avenue, and it was not long before they got
into a fight. Isaac Butler, son of the proprie
tor, was stabbed by one or more of the parties,
in three Places, and last evening was in a very
low condition.
The soldiers demanded that their canteens
should be filled with whisky, without payment
therefor:, This started a fight, which resulted
as stated. A number of police Officers endea
vored to'. make arrests, but the drunken Sol
diers charged bayonets, and some drew their
side arras and forced the police to fall back.
Thus was law and order set at defiance.
At a later period than this, the tables in the
saloons !were. spread for the 33d New Jersey
Regiment, mid the drunken New York 60th
made a demand for. dinner.. They were -very*
I»solent. The 33d New Jersey arrived, and
partook of their meal, after which, in order to
prevent, a sacrifice of life and destruction of
property,sa second meal was furnished to the
drunken soldiers of the New York 60th, which
had the efrect to Slightly sober them, Fortu
nately, the transportation boat was in readi
ness now, and the inebriates were marched
into the depot yard, at the foot of Washington
avenue; and then the gates were closed. In
this enclosure they got to fighting among
themselves. The boat finally started, and the
people felt relieved thereat, It is fair to say
that some of the members of this reginient
appeared sober. The principal officers were
entirely Sober, but could not control the men.

Harper's Forry,Va. During 1861, and the carry,
part of the following year, the regiment par
ticipated in all the Campaigns of General
Banks, on the Upper Potomac and in the She.
nandoah Valley. In May,1862, they performed
a prom:Uncut part in General Banks' noted
retreat, and lost severely in officers and men.
Three Companies (C, E, and F,) accompanied
General Pope into the Valley of Virginia, and
took part in the engagements of his campaign,
and afterwards in the battle of Antietam. In
consequence of the severe loss in numbers in
Banks' retreat, the . balance of the regiment
had been placed on duty on the Upper Poto
mac. After Antietam, the regiment was again
united, and in the 12th Corps (Slocum's) took
part in the battles Of Chpeelloreville and
Gettysburg.
In consequence of the disasters to our arms
in the West, the command to which this regi
mentbelonged was transferred to Chattanooga,
Tennessee, and served with distinction at
Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Wan

SAD CARE OF DILOWNING.—MT. Samuel
Enshaw, a young Englishman, who was mar
ried nearly a year ago, was drowned at Red
Bank, N. J.;, on Wednesday afternoon, Re and
his wife were with the sunday-school excur
sion of the
,Church of St. John the Evangelist,
and everything passed happily until he was
drowned. He, and a companion got into a
small leaky boat, not intending to row out any
distance, but merely to paddle up and down
the shore, in shallow water. The wind, how
ever, freshened, and the frail craft Was blown
out into the current, which was exceedingly
rapid. The boat filled and sank. The unfortu
nate Mr. Enshaw sank to rise no more, but his
companion, being able to swim, kept his head
above the water until rescued. The agony of
the wife may be imagined, as she stood as one
of the Spectators of the sad scene.

THE POLICE.
[Before Mr. Alderman May.]
• THE OLD STORY.
John Smith, who was I),i-rested by Sergeant
°
Murray and Meer Heel, had a: further hear
ing on Thursday, upon the charge of being im
plicated in the robbery of a soldier, named
Mitchell, of the 98th Ite,giment Pennsylvania
Volunteers, of $750, at the .Montgomery Hotel,
a few nights since: It appears that the money
was stolen from a belt worn by Mitchell, while
-he was asleep. The alleged thief occupied the
same apartment with the soldier that night,
and Smith, who is alleged to have been the ac
complice, was waiting down stairs for him.
Smith was held in WO bail to answer. The
other man has not yet been arrested.

BREAKING TRINGB GENERALLY.
A luau 'who gave the name of Thomas D.
Jones, it is alleged, went into.a tavern, on
Wallet° street, above Ride avenue, and
t
A un c u lo s c e k ci h w i as isil t e m lf a b s Y he b d7an k d a ing a l umber of bottles
and glasses shared the same fate. The pro
prietor. upon remonstrating against such con
duct, was assanited by Jones. The accused
was held in $6OO bail to answer.
SNEAK TIIIIIVICS
On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock,
Watson's shoe atore, on Market street, near
the Permanent Bridge, was robbed of seven
pairs of boots and nine pairs- of gaiters. The
goods were taken front the window, which was
broken open. The thieves, with the stolen
property, were met at Twenty-third and Mar
ket streets, by a policeman, but they lamed&
ately dropped their plunder and ran. The
goods were recovered, but the robbers es
caped.
(Vefore Mr. Aldertirian Seitler•]
: 011171?..L ,
OetaVIOUEO,V. Cat o was passing' along Setenth
street, in the vicinity' of Chestnut, when Geo.
C. Dobson and Daniel. McLeod assaulted, him
in agrass manner, for which they were ar ,
rested and taken. before Alderman Battler,
who held them to bail in the sum of flcioo to
answer the charge at court. Dobson is a banjo
- Instructor, and McLeod is a broker on Third
street.
John 11. Sexton is the name of a youth of flf.,
teen, but very small for his age, who was bC
fore the same alderman, on the charge of rob
bing the till of a liquor st ore owned by a Mr.
Cavanaugh, and situated in the northern tmr
tion of tbe city. Sexton went about his busi
ness in a regular profossionalmannor, and had
accumulated ,a small amount of loose change
wheri.he was seized by Mr. Cavanaugh and
banded to the police officer. On his person was
found a bunch of all kinds of keys, two re-'
eeinis—one for ten and the other for twenty
dollars paid by said youth to, a, Mr. Dobson for
a banjo and instructions on he same, and 'a
certain kind .of transparent card not lit to be
in any respectable persons hands. Sexton is
evidently one of those youths who make peri
odical visits to low concert saloons, and the
height of -whose ambition is to play a banjo or
set of bones, and who Would not scruple at ac
quiring any means to carry out their inten
tion. The alderman committed him, in default
of eight hundred dollars bail, to answer the
charge at court.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
No more gratifying. illustration could be
given of the financial strength of this country
than has been afforded by the rapid absorption
Of nearly eight hundred millions of seven
thirties, with little if any diiturbance of the
money market. The recent large subscrip
tions to the last series of these notes indicate
that the loan will be Closed in a very short
time ; and though the necessities of the Treasu
ry will probably be far from satisfied when tile
whole is taken, an opinion has gained ground
that when the present series of the seven
thirty loan is exhausted, the Secretary of the
Treasury will have no power to issue other
bonds until after another loan act has been
passed, the refiniElite authority obtained from
the next Congress. This Opinion is obviously
erroneous, as the set authorizing the borrow
ing of the six hundred millions on bonds or
treasury notes, specially provides that "any
treasury notes or other obligations bearing
interest, issued under any act of Congress,
May, at the discretion 'of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and with the consent of the
holder, be converted into any description of
bonds authorized by this act; and no bonds so
authorized shall be considered a part of 'the
amount of six hundred millions herein before.
authorized." This obviously gives the Secre- '
tary of the Treasury the power to issue bonds
'" of denominations not less than fifty dollars,"
payable "at any period 'not more than forty
years from date of issue," and "redeemable at
the pleasure of the government, at °rafter any
period not less than five, nor more than forty
years from date." The interest on such bonds
must not exceed six per cent. When payable in
coin, or seven and three-tenths per cent. when
payable in currency. The amount of outstand
ing obligations which may be thus converted
into bonds .is estimated at more than four hun
dred millions, consisting of five per cent.

indebteaness and certificates of temporary

The stock market continues very dull for all
kinds of securities. There was some little
movement in Government loans, but at lower
figures. The ifkils sold down to 107%, a decline
of %, and the five-twenties were weak at 105.
State and city loans continue inactive. A
small lot of war loan sixes sold at 101. New
city sixes declined 1 4, selling at 92%; the old
were steady at 91. The sales of company bonds
were confined to Schuylkill Navigation sixes
of '72 at 87, and Camden and Amboy mortgage
sixes at 99. In the share list we notice a fur
ther decline, excepting for Reading, which
closed firm at 8i ; Pennsylvania Railroad was
weak at 57, and Camden and Amboy at 129%;
Little Schuylkill sold at 30, and Catawissa
common at 12%; 55 was bid for Norristown, 55
Minehill, 23% for North Pennsylvania, 45 for
Elmira preferred, 24% for Catawissapreferred,
23 for Philadelphia and Erie, and 44 for

any material change. 118 was bid for Farmers'
and Mechanics', 48 for Penn Township, 51% for
Girard,29%for Manufacturers' and Mechanics',
57 for City, and 56 for Corn Exchange. Passen
