TTarerErs STATES have thus far rati fied the XVth Article. Missouri has been counted among the assenting States, but must in fact be excluded. As with Rip VAN WINKLE'S pledge for reform, Missouri's first step counts for noth ing. The Article was .transmitted to Jefferson City by telegraph, the second section being omitted, and thus a part only of the amendment received the legislative sanction. The authorities of Missouri now have notice from the State Department that their action was fatally incomplete, but the sine di adjournment of the State Legis lature must postpone the needful correc tion to next winter. BY . rs<Y made in 1866, a large domain in the extreme Southwest was secured to the Cherokee Indians. Nev ertheless, since that date, other treaties have been made by our authorities, with various other Indian tribes, providing for their settlement upon this same domain, - The Cherokees naturally and rightfully pEotest against this, as flagrantly bad faith toward themselves, and avow their resolution to resist such encroachments. And this is fairly an example of the hap , hazard, reckless and unprincipled Indian policy of our government for the past twenty years. Is it not high time for its reform ? Should we otherwise be aston ished by these Indian "outrages," which are usually nothing else than the barbar ous expressions of Indian despair? EDWARD BATES. The iieatik :of grow4Cliwrits, at the advanced age of sevent*Wyears, which occurred at St. Louis on *May last, has already been announced. Die deceased, though.not : of any, school of public men, nor a citizen conspicuous for a very high order of talent in any direc tion, has( left a good record and his name will long be recognized as that of one who discharged faithfully the duties of a protracted publics and private' life. Mr. BArEs was a Virginian' by birth; and surrounded by neither wealthy nor influential connections, he was early thrown upon the world, and by dint of hard labor and close application to study he acquired good education, and became a self-made man. rn 1814 he reniovedto St. Louis, then a small village, where he studied law, and where, almost, during his entire life, he resided, identifying himself with the interests of Missouri. Mr. BATES, at diffeient times, held the offices of Circuit Attorney, Attorney of I the United States for the District of Mis souri, member of the Convention which ' formed the first Constitution of the State, member of the 'State Legislature, Judge or the St. Louis Land Court, Member of Congress, and Attorney ,General of the United States in Mr. Lxxcousi's Adminis tration. During the Administration ,of Frw.tonic he was appointed Secre tary of War, but declined to accept the office. Mr. BATES was brought up a Jeffers°. nian Republican. At the time of 'the Presidential election in 11824 he was a supporter of Mr. .CRAWFORD, and upon' the election of Mr. Aliams supported his administration. His single term hi Con gress was during the last two years of Mr. ADAMS' administration. After the forma tion of the Whig. party he was always of that party,' big. whezi it ceased to exist he acted with the Republican party. In 1861 he was called into Mr. 1.11 COLD'S cabinet, and was among the very first to'urge the crushing out of rebellion by the adoption of vigorous measures of war. He retired to private life on the re-ele:ction of President Liscour, and lived to cast his ballot for - Gen. Onsicr, and to see the country, in whose interest' he was so warmly enlisted, in _the full enjoyment, of; old.faahlohed peace and PrailmFitY• . THE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND THE BELLIGERENT FIN& It is not Impossible that Mr. jeans "Fin, Jr., is just now engaged in a bust nese which promises to result in some public advantage. He has addressed himself to <an investigation of the real management of the trnion'Pazific Hall way Company—and that seems to mean a forinidable conflict with the most promi nent railway corporation of ,the country. Mr. Prsg's easus belli is purely a privete . one, rising out of certain alleged trans actions in the Union Pacific stock, but he finds it good strategy to carry the war into' the enemy's camp, and to its secret councils, and, whether before Congress or the Courts, he startles the financial world, with the most extraordinary alle gations, which do not seem to be alto gether, unsupported by proofs. Never theless, the statements of .either .party-to this, as to other controversial, are, upon well-settled principles and uniform Judi cial exPerience, to be taken with more or lese of allowance. !The New York press have lately occu pied their b;oad columns with this busi ness, printing the charges and counter- charges, affidavits pro and eon, and aver ments, rin purport quite broad enough to insureSzt interested public attention. For erimple,'Mr.,-Fres alleges that two imudred and forty-seven miles of the road have been built by 3 ii concern known as the Credit Mobilier of America, while 'the contracts for the entire residue were given to:Messrs. Aims and , DLNIS, the former a Director of the. Company; that the Credit Mobilier was but another name PITTSBURGH GAZErrE: MONDAY; MARCII 29, 1869. for an inside ring in the same Directory ; thatthese contracts were corresDondingly fraudulent; that the profits to these con tractors have been so enormous that the Credit Mobilier has divided among Its shareholders, to-wit: the ring of Direc tors, &c., as atoresaid, an amount in stocks and cash already equal to 752 per cent. on its paid capital, and that at least 500 per cent. more is yet to be distrib uted; and that these enormous profits from the construction of the work have not enured, as of right they ought, to the Union Pacific shareholders at large. All these allegations purport to be sustained by the `sworn testimony of witnesses, who profess to be able to speak by the book. —All which, if true; amounts to just this, so far , as concerns the American public,—thai, we made a bad bargain with the Union Pacific Coiapany, and there is probably no way is which we can legally escape ftom the existing agreement, and that Mr. Flex would very cheerfhlly arouse, if he could, such a degree of pop ular odium against that corporation as to promote effectively his own ends in the way of personal profit. His'revelations, if worth anything, will serve but one solitary purpose of use—and that will be to put. Congress and the people on their guard against similar blunders hereafter. THE OFFICE-TENUREQUESTION. The non-concurrence ;of the House in the Senate amendments to the repealing bill, remits this question liven to the Sen ate, which will, doubtless, to-day insist upon its own action and ask for a Com mittee of Conference. There is reason to think that the line taken by the House will result in strengthening the Senatorial position, which now becomes one of priv ilege,, and not readily to be surrendered at the capricious demand of the other body. We may look, therefore, for a stronger vote for insisting upon the amendment, than this secured when it passed the Son- - ate. Moreover, the latter has something to gain and 'nothing to lose by the con tinuance of the present law, under the persistent refusal of the House to accept the offered compromise. The opinions of the President are well known to his friends in eitherliouse. - He would prefer a total repeal, but' has dis tinctly avowed his willingness to ac cept the Consineo amendment. His gen erosity in thus waiving his personal pre ference 4, in the interests of harmony, and of the speedy reform of the public) ser vice in all of the Executive departments, is not the loss gratefully rccog nized by the country; because the House declines to emulate his patriotic example. It - seems as if there were, among both Senators and Representatives, a small clique of politicians who are altogether incapable of appreciating the true character of Gen. GRANT. He says to-day, as he has said before, that he does not like the compro mise bill, but that he is willing to tahe ft as it is—the best attainable adjustment of a difficult question. This much he declared last week, and he adheres, if we under stand him at all, in as good faith to that compromige, as in frankness to the same objections. 'lt ought to be easy enough to understand'_ this sort of man— and plain people have.really no difficnity in 'citing eo. But, unfortunately, there are in Congress, as well as out of it, some men who ate themselves set incapable of a magnanimous sacrifice oftheir own per , sorrel preferences, that they must cling tenaciously to the belief 'that the Fred , dent is not to be taken at his word ; that he would rejoice over the' failure of the agreement upon which - the Senatorial action has been founded. In this view, they are officiously super-serviceable in the attempt to outstrip the supposed wishes of General GRANT. Wi doubt if le thanks them for it, or feels all flat tered by their estimate of , his official and personal sincerity. We respect hitt sterling good sense too highly to doubt that the President con templates, with a characteristically good natured and quiet scorn, one, unfortunate element from which even the Republican party ie not by any means exempt: We mean these extraordinary officious would. . be. of the Executive—we don't call them zealots, but ratter sycophants, , flunkies,.parasites clinging to the skirts of power—these journalists and bogus politicians whose subserviency outruns alike their wit and the wishes of the dispenser of r patronage. These were the men who, only the other day, we heard 'bawling themselves hoarse for the repeal of one of the wisest laws remitted to us by the fathers. Their zeal altogether outstripped the needs of the occasion, and was fitly rebuked by the manly candor of one who, President or mauOlarett*wayatCdo,right; even if , it involves tlie'delmd*Yedgnient eff ands 'taken impression in which the whole country had shared; Those journalswere still wet from the press, at the moment_ when the Presidtmt was hastening to re pair the oversight which they Were eager to justify. There was a lesson inthat business which Mr., Bun= and his Co adjutors would profit now_by remember- Mr. .B. F. BUTLER. is a shrewd politi cian, but - he has now made a notable mis take. He asks for the President, not more than the President has always de sired, but very much more than UV? Pre°' ident has avowed his willingness to Ac cept and abide by. What was announced by Judge TRUMBULL, on this head, to the Senate' and country, upon the President's authority, has been since reiterated by the Preside* to Speaker BLAINE , of the House. Yet Mr. • BITTLEIII has for - the moment,succeeded in:leading off fifty of the one hundred and twenty Republican members, into a false position where, backed only by the opposition - support, they are really confronting the coordi nate branch and tile practical advice of the President himsaf\And, if this be not thC fact, the best t at BUTLER can claim would be one corner in a triangu lar fight. It is natural for Representatives to re- tain some unpleasant recollections of the scandalous duplicity of Senators, who de liberately invited the co ordinite branch into certain grave constitutional proceed ings for the impeachment of ANDREW JOHNSON, and then, by eating their own words, betrayed the country, the House and themselves. It is very natural for Mr. BUTLER, and his coadjutors to re.- member, with perhaps vindictive indig nation, the, inexplicable and arrogant in consistency of a body' which succeeded, in the case of Georgia's Electoral vote, in blotting the records of Congress with a precedent which 1 . every one now de plores. But no multiplication of errors can make any wrong right. Nor is the question now separating the two Houses properly an occasion for satisfying there. venges of Representatives. 'There was a majority of twenty among the Republican representatives for the compromise bill. The minority will not content themselves finally in the company of the opposition. We think that they will listen to wiser and more patriotic counsels, and ultimately concur with the Senate and with the President upon the amended bill. A day or two more will show. THEnz is something well worthy 'of consideration in the suggestion made by a New York journal, as follows : Cuba has had wrongs enough, certainly, and no American can desire the success of the Spanish power against the Repub lican and Abolitionist revolutionists; but it is unfair to charge the present Liberal Government at Madrid, which but lately overthrew the Bourbon despotism, with the crimes committed by that despot ism. Thb very hour the Liberals achieved success in Spain, they set about the work of conferring upon Cuba the rights which they had conquered for themselves. It is but just to bear these things in mind, even 'while we sympathize with every struggle against European domination on any part of American soil. Do You BELIEVE II ?-A writer in Lippincott's Magazine, April -number, says: s'For every man whose heart is broken —we use a phrase current in its romantic sense among women, and which among Il i men den tes the state of mind revealed by prof smoking and spasmodic devo tion to bi iards—twenty have their eyes opened and are on the whole considera bly improved by the process. We forget to whom is due the credit of the remark that a map's usefulness generally dates from the time he loses his interest in women; but, without going - so far, we are content to rest upon the conclusion of_ our own experience—that until a man has had one or two serious flirtation's he is not to be relied on for earnest effort." FAR.% VARDEN ADD HOVSEHOLD. The Crow's Value to the Farmer. Whatever wrong the Crow commits against the cultivators of the soil maY, by a little painstaking, be materially lessened or wholly prevented. The benefits he confers are both numerous and important. During the time he 'remains with us he destroys, so says no less authority than Wilson,"myriads of worms, moles, mice, - caterpilars grubs, and beetles." Audu bon also affirm that the Crow devours myriads of grubs every day of the year,— grubs which would lay waste the fEmer's fields, and destroys quadrupeds inAumer able, every one of which is an enemy to his poultry and his flocks. Dr. Harris also, one of the most thithfill and accurate observers, in speaking of the fearful rav ages sometimes wrought in our grass lands and gardens by the grub , of the Hay-beetles, adds' his testimony to the great service rendered by the Crow in keeping these pests in check. Yet here in Massachusetts, regardless of such testi mony in their :fav or , we have near ly exterminated these birds,' and the destructive grubs, having no longer this active enemy to resist their growthzear by year increasing with ' fftrful stence. e have seen large farms, an hour's ride of Boston, in which, over entire acres, the grass was so ccrmpletelyttuldermined and the roots eaten away, that the looeened turf could, be rolled ttpas easily es if it had been cut by the turfing-spade. In the same neigh borhood whole fields. of corn,' potatoes, and almost every kind of , garden veget able, had been eaten at the root had de stroyed: Our more intelligent farmers, who have more carefully studied out the cause of this unusual insect growth, have satisfied themselves that it is the legiti mate result, the natural and inevitable con sequence, of our own acts.

It is thought that the marriage will:have to be dissolved by the legislature. The justice of the peace acted out of the county for which he was commissioned, and has been lined 11 1 10(). Several of the parties were engaged to other persons, and one, a professor in a seminary,' was to have been. married In a fortnight. One couple are said to have made utitheir minds to "accept th 6 situation." • Tnic first rehearsal of the Boston Peace Festival was held oh Mondily.

The efforts the Jews have made, and sufferings, losses and humiliations they have borne for the purpose of obtaining sepulture in the Valley of Jehosaphat, form a singular feature, in human history. No other nation has ever thus struggled, not to live in 'their own land, but to be suffered to lay their dust therein. Many descriptions have been made of this mar vellous place; but I confess none of them. ever afforded -me a notion of its actual appearance. Wandering alone past the fountain of Siloam and by the arid bed of 'Bedron, it suddenly opened to me a per fect mountain of graves—a hillside paved with sepulchral slabs. Each I stone is small— so small as to lead to tbetconclu sion that the bodies mast be bided per pendicularly. At all events, if the mul titude there interred were simultaneously to arise, the would form a crowd as dense and co mp act as it would be error moue. Short ebrew inscriptions, some evidently of great age—are on all the atones; and these are laid together with intervals of only a few inches, as in our oldest churches. The slabs. are almost on a level with the ground, and of equal height, so that it is literally one large pavement of death—an appalling, almost an overwhehnhig sight. KEROSENE. Om.—The pyrouseter, in vented by the inspector or kerosene oil, in New York City, is described ss fol lows: The instrument consists of a closed receptacle of water upon •a stand, with a lamp under it. Into this receptacle ametalic cup ,containing the fluid to be tested is placed. The cup has a cover over it, level except at one place where it is elevated into a semi globular dome. In the level part of the cover are two valves for the admission of air when it is required, and in one side of the dome la a small orifice. The testing process is as follows: A. thermometer, resting in the oil to be tested, is affixed to the inside of the cup; ; the lamp is then lighted, and by warming the water it in turn warms the oil, which, when heated to a certain degree, emits a vapor of ex ceedingly exploliive qualities. This vapor rises into the dome over the cup. When. it can be ignited by a match thrust into the dome through itaorifice, the oil has reached what is known as the vaporizing or flashing point. This point is ascer tained by consulting the thermometer. The burning point, when the whole body of oil is ignited, is' ascertained by con tinuing the process. , • BRITISH newspapers display a singular genius for confusion in discussing Amer fain affairs. Even the Pall Mall Gazette mixes up Mr. A. T. Stewart, of New York, and Mr. George H.

When the Lisburn 1 andlooni weavers were thrown out of.work some years ago, &ring the cotton famine, he sent a cargo of food supplies to Ireland for their use: In 1866 Mr. Stewart, who Is a Presby terian visited Ddblin, and was enter tamed by that body.
