LAWYERS of the greatest eminence at
Washington concur in the opinion that the
recent AMnesty proclamation has no legal
validity or effect whatever.
THE monthly statement, for Jarittary Ist,
of the condition of the public debt, exhibits
an iricrease, on the net balance of obliga
tions, of about one and a half millions of
dollars during December: " The Secretary's
figures in detail are not yet at hand.
- IN ova local columns will be - found an
appeal for aid towards the:Rome for Friend
less Men. The institution is one worthy of
the charity of all kindly disposed towards
suffering humanity, as it accomplishes great
good and is conducted on a purely philan
thropic basis, permitting all creeds, classes
and colors topartake of its sheltering care.
THE rEws'in Mr. Biscaza'a x Church, in
Brooklyn, were sold, a few days ago, at an
aggregate annual rent of $97,000. While
the sum paid demoustrates the great popu
larity of the preacher, it further shows that
from his pulpit the gospel is not preached
to the poor. Evidently, none but the rich,
;Dr, at least, the well-to-do, can regularly
obtain spiritual__instruction ana guidance
froth that quarter.

pardon may be expected either to-day, the
anniversary of the battle of New Orltgins, or
on the 22nd of February. Mr. J. has a
practised eye for effect, and' likes td.do these
things with a flourish.
LcAwn° Virginia journals and politi
- clans, of the ex-rebel type, have recently
exhibited a remarkable unanimity in con
ceding that negro suffrage is inevitable.
Their new-bern faith is proclaimed- with
considerable Vigor, and apparently - with the
most earnest , sincerity. As. faith without
works avalleth nothing, Congress, will rec

privilege, of submitting the 91dpominion's

WE REGRET to learn that Postmaster
General- RANDALL brings his official recom
mendation to bear in favor of enzrafting the
telegraplr upon the postal system of the
country. This action, on the part of that
distinguished functionary; cannot but prove
detrimental to the proposition, which really
has large merits and has been gaining
friends. RANDALL'S advocacy. however,
suggests the universal suspicion of some
lurking job and may insure the defeat of

THE SENATORIAL CONTESTS, which have
nterested the politicians in several of the
States, are rapidly drawing to
,their close.
In Pennsylvania,. the Republican successor
to Mr. Ruciteratw has already been desig.
nated. In Michigan, Senator CHANDLER
was re-elected yesterday.. 'The Republicans
of Indiana will have agreed, perhaps to.
day, upon their candidate to succeed Mr.
HENDRICKS; the chances are in favor of
Lieut. Gov. CI:WRACK. •In Minnesota,
iSinator RAmstir wages a three -cornered
fight with Mr. Wll.xnisoN and Representa
tive Dottnp.m.r; the contest is a bitter one,
involving local interests and personal. feel
ing, and ita issue is 'tali& in doubt. in
Missouri, it is - hoped that the eloquent ora
tor and comprehenalie thinier, Cent
Scnurnz will defeat the renegade REx
nEMSON, who relies• only upon a De
rnocratie minority to aid his efforts
in forming a personal schism in
_the Republican ranks.> In New York,
the re-election of MORGAN is contested by
Gov. FRNTON, -who has private griefs to
avenge, and is backed - by all the influence
which his Executive office can command.
In Maine, Mr. Mentliti`nly bereplaced by
ex-Vice President Ileminti.whont the whole

see all these rivalries determined, and satis

Capitol does not, nor could he, plead ignor
ance of this conspicuous feature in our gor
e/mental system. The negotiations m the
present case, therefore, have been clearly in
view, on both sides, of the contingency that
the House might refuse its 'assent to all the
stiPulations. Denmark took her risks in
this affair, and has not a shadow of title , to
chirge a refusal upon any bad faith of Con
gress. The discretion, with which our
House of Representatives has been consti
tutionally invested, comprehends equally a
duty and a power never to be ignored or
denied. Its exercise was never more peril
'nent than in the present case, and, whatever
direction it may ultimately take, neither
the foreign nation nor our own officials may
challenge -the final decision, with any just
right of appeal to the revisory judgment of
our people, -or to the, disapprobation of the
world. The only result, legitimately &fol
low a failure of the preliminary negotia
tion, will be to admonish European diplw
matists that, for the present at least, our
Republican machine he guided byour
selves, and not in deference to any outside
views of our National duty. .
DEFIeIEiCY BILLS.
e have a vague impression that, as long
ago the political i canVess of 1868, we read
a great in the - opposition journals, and
beard fromopposition orators as often
and as long as e N had patience to listen to
them, about the enormous amounts to be
appropriated, at the 'then next session of
Congress, to supply the cie
defincies in the
regular appropriations of therrious ses
sion, for the expenses of theGoveißmen t .
Our neighbors of the Post kept one p er
steadily through the campaign on that key
note, in unison with which all the cross
roads stumps were vocal, in denouncing the
bald humbug of the Republican attempt to
deceive the people touching the amount of
the current; National expenditures. And
now, sure enough, come in
,the deficiency
bills. These Democratic prophets had led us
to expect some sixty or seventy millions ;
no such trifles as fifty millions could fill
their bilL But 'we are scandalised to find
that even their friend Mr. McCouocli,
who no doubt wants to help them as much
as he can, has not the cheek to ask for more
than twenty-one millions—and he won't
get nearlyiill of that. Our Indian war has
cost fOurteen.millions more than we allowed
for the threatened= hostilities, and that un
doubtedly must be paid.: _But he wants four
and a half millions for the Democratic Post
master General,"to pay for extravagant con
tracts for unjustifiable mail service," nearjy
three quarters of a million to finish build
ings which Mr. JouNsori's officials agreed
to finish for last year's estimates, and a long
list of other demands of the same sort, all
of which the House Committeedenounces as
"extravagant, profligate and unjustifiable,"
and not one of which will be acceded to.
Evidently, our friends of the opposition
have enlisted the aid of the Executive offi
cials to ensure the fulfillment of their ante
election prophecies. What a pity that Con
gress alone should obitinately continue re
mnant ! We can scarcely wonder at the
opposition for being thankful that an-ex
pensive war, consequent upon the Indian
butcheries of our countrymen and women,
Rill make good some twenty per cent. of
their predictions.
THE FUTURE-PINAINCIAL AND PO
LITICAL.
The discussion upon an Appiopriation
bill, in the House oz Saturday, brought out
• statements of great interest and of impor
tant significance from Mr. WAsiznuturz,
an Illinois member of large experience and
leading influence in that body, and whose
personal relations to the President-elect are
generally known to be of a confidential
character.
It will ittrprise no one to hear that Mr.
Wasanuartz expounded the Republican
duty of economy in expenditure in clear
and weighty terms. : That public , duty was'
plainly fluent before it became, by its
enunciation at Chicago, a partizan pledge.
The political organization which has placed
Gen. Gnatsrr In his present position has
always engaged itself to this policy, as &nec
essary one for ,all the material interests of the
nation, and iti pledges in that direction were
renewed In illag last without maceration,
and with an explicit precision whlc,h de-'1
mended and secured the ' confidence of tha
country at large.. • - , t •

scrutiny, no dark spots to theird4honor.,
The search - leaves their countrymen only at
a loss, whether most to admire their blame
less merit as citizens, or their exalted ca
padity for the discharge of all public trusts.
por these pledges, we invited the confi
dence, and for these.candidates, thus public.
ly and personally committed to their re
,
liemption, we justly demanded the suffrages
of the Amerinan people. That confidence
•
was given , us; those,. suffrages have, by a
half million majority, entrusted the highest
national powers and responsibilities to these
candidates, for the four coming years.
It is worse than idle—it is wickedly un
just to imagine that those pledges will not
be made good. The injustice would be even
more base,"tir recognize any possibility that
the administration of President Gnarls
should, by the treacherous weakness of a
Republican tongress, find itself shipped of
the essential conditions of their fulfillment
in good faith and to the minutest particular.
Mr. WASMIIRNE'S speech, the other do-,
set forth the Republican obligations in this
regaid, and the gratifying certainty of their
honOrable perlOnnance, is an expression as
timely !as it was foreible. The people will
hear with profound satisfaction that 'these
pledges, upon which we fought, are again
reiterated, this time as the expositionetf our
settled purposes, in the flush of the most de
cisive poll deal victory, all things considered,
ever won in the history of the Republic.
The consenting opinion of , his hearers, and
of the entire people, accepts his utterances
as the first authoritative enunciation of the
new President's views of his official duty.
The expression was timely, since it is at
I this moment flagrantly notorious, at the Cap
itol, that jobbing and peculation are brigaded
into line, to storm and sack the Treasury
berm,. the new Republican Administra
tion ca come in. Who are the
rank and izin the intended raid
is well enough known,—they are the crea
tures of the present administration, with the
opposition whose complicitz is prompted
in some cases by personal hiterest and in
others by the hope of a partizan avantage,
and with 'a few members bf our own Re- party who propose to retire from
political life with full hands. Mr. Westr
straws spoke for Republicanisth as well as
for President Gaon', when he admonished
members of their duty to the - country, to
the party and to themselves. warned
them of their dangei, and the warning will
be enough to defeat u. The Republican
majority will improve Incorruptible, and
quite strong enough to, defeat all schemes
whether for an unwise extravagance, or, for
a contemplated plunderi. So the Repub
lican honor Will be maintained, and : p suc
cessful end be ensured to the financial
responsibilties Of the new Administration.
A $u son is current in Indiana that the
Reno gang, six of whom were hung 17
Judie Lynch; at Seymour and New Albany,
were in fact guiltless of the great express
robbery at Marshfield, for which they were
first arrested. It is addekthat the real cul
prits are still at large. These reports are
produeing a great sensation In that. State.
It is maintained, however, that the Rectos
deserved hanging, irrespective of that affair,
for their numberless other offenses - against
the laws.

American Diplomacy.
Washington (Dec. Cor. of the CU. Commercial.
I learn from good authority, vouchsafed
me, at the State Department, that Secretary
Seward despairs of settling the Alabama
claim. before the 4th of March that ends his
official existence: The gay old Re verdy with
his everlasting talk and public banquets, has
completely knocked the negotiations in the
head. John Bull saw our eagerness and
tried to take the advantage, and, had the
matter been kept quiet, it might have suc
ceeded. But public opinion has driven our
venerable diplomat of,the State Department
to a demand for betterlerms, and time is
too short for further negotiations ofany sort.
"The fact is, the time has, come," said Mr.
Stanton the , other. day, "when the interests
and dignity of our government call for
some other foreign policy than that of cow
ardice. While the 'non-interrention is our
better course it ought to be armed non-in
tervention, ready to strike and not-beg,
when our interests are touched. We have
been' too long regarded as a nation of shop
keepers. willing to suffer wrong and put
up with insult rather than be at the expense
of war.
"This is paying a premium on aggres
sion, and we cannot get our rights or com
mand respect so long as if continues. It is
time to run up the American flag and not
keep it locked away in legations as a pre
cious relic, sacred' to the eyes of the initi
ated. Nor should it be flourished as it was
over the barricades at Cadiz the other day,
for which the press here is so loud'in its
praise. , What that fellow was doing there
as an American Consul, with the American
flag, is mere than I can make bat. lam
willing to bet that at the moment he ap
peared, the Republicans were giving the
Loyalists a sound thrashing. I'll venture
to say that if the truth- could be known
it is the old story. The moment a diplo
matic agent of ours resales the shores of
Europe he softens into an humble, adMirer
of despotic governments, and if he brings
out our flag it is in behalf of our enemies.
While the utmost prudence and cautious
wisdom should be exercised in treating these
complicated questions connected with our
foreign affairs, it, is our interest and will
prove good economy in time to make these
governments realize that we are as ready to
strike for ourrights as we were willing to
stake our_ existence on the supprassion of
domestic insurrection."
The Vice President of the London Am
thropological Society, Sir Duncan Gibh, has
recently written an essay on the. character
istics of the voices of the different nations'
. Cthe earth. The observations of the es
sayisthave led him to - assert the existence
of the following • facts: The Chinese and
Japanese possess voices of low power,
feeble compas, whining in tone, and a‘pos
seasing a metallic'twang." The voice of
the Tartars, Thlbetians,and Mongols par
takes slightly of the same twang. In India
and Barmah, the voice is not powerful, but
shrill, soft and feminine, that of tffe,inbabl
tants of the hills being more robust, possess-
Ing more of the metallic twang and less o
the whine thin that 'of the inhabitants of
the plains.. The larynx of the native negro
is,. intermediate in size, between that of the
Chinese and Tartars. The negro wants
vocal power possessing the elements of a
roaring, bellowing voice. The European
nations, it is asserted, possess strong, pow
erful, sonorous, clear voices. Variations as
to character and tone may and do exist, but

sons of all ages. Children, and even infants, are
subject to unnatural secretions - of the Kidneys, and
pain to voiding the urine, as well "as adults. Espe
cially M this the casessith aged and infirm persons,
and those whose habits are sedentary. Nor Is this a
matterof surprise when we take into consideration
the delicate nature of the kidneys, and thelmport

fluous, enbesitby and poisonous waste of the system
must pass thmugh the kidneys, thence into the
bladder, and passes off with the nrisis ; consequently
any obstruction. hi the kidneys, shat wLi prevent
these poisonoui particles from being thrown off,
will be followed by disease of the organs themselves
and more or less derangement of the smote system. •
Among the symptoms of sash derangement arethe

THE KIDNEYS AND
AR' ORGANS
—lt is reported that a party of armed
men, supposed to 'have been Mexicana,
recently entered the town of Estereiot in
San Miguel county, New Mexico, took all
the men prisoners, and proceeding with
them a distance of fifteen miles, hung one.
and shot two others. This was done, it ia•
believed, in revenge for the murder of two
Texans, for their clothing and a few head
of stock, near Apache Springs, some six
weeks previous. New Mexico seems to be
infested with a powerful gang of Mexicans
and half-breed Indians horse-thieves and
murderers, wlrm the civil authorities are
unable toreach. • -
—Recently an affray took place between
white and colored soldiers at Central City,
New Mexico, in which two of th&former
and three of the latter were killed. %The
disturbance occurred at a ball, the neeroes
claiming the right to dance, which was de
nied. ,After the fight the colored soldiers
were reinforced from Fort Bayard, and re
turning to the ball-room murdered a while
on the way. It was also rert4d
thatsoldier
they burned the building and ravished
the e and daughter of the owner.
