Tem newly-appointed Marshal of the

the sth, from the bursting of a blood

-efficiency and valor, but a severe wound
received at Fair Oaks compelled his retire

he filled important posts in the Provost'S

Tam seventh day of the coming June
will bring about for Kentucky the cen
tennial - annive rsary
_ of the entrance of
_ . DAL BOONE, the first white pioneer,into
that portion of the then-Virginian terri
tory. The Kentucky press urges upon
their people the duty of a befitting cele
bration of the day,—and the duty is 4ot
likely to be neglected. By way of final
recommendation in that direction, a
Louisville paper suggests that Mr. J. C.
Bmurcreumpos, be selected as the orator
of the day at Frankfort.
Tan new Cuban programme of revolu-
Vein and annexation has the same origin as
most of the "latest intelligence" of their
great insurgent victories—that is to
say, it is entirely the product of Ameri
can sympathy, stimulated by a reasonable
quantity of Cuban gold. The programme
of which we speak was manufactured
to order in New York last week, then
shipped with charges C. 0. D., including
the expenses otforging a glowing account
of its promulgation by a mythical insur
gent Junta.' When the neat fraud is by
chance exposed, a New York journal,
which is prominent for its tender sym
pathy, concedes the trick, but gravely ex
cases it as all right, because the "ultimate
tendency of Cuba" is in precisely the
same direction
Tag Louisville Courier Journal, by
way of an argument against continuing
the present proscription of colored testi
mony in the Kentucky courts, puts the
present position of the law of evidence as
entirely in the negro's favor, since he can
carry all his litigations into the Federal
courts,-while a white man is prictically
excluded from justiceAn the State courts,
Id far as he needs negro testimony to
make out a case. Our - cotemporary now
urges that both races should haven' equal
chine" It scouts the idea that the propo
silion should be made a test question of
the DetiloCrittiO party, and adds:
There never was a stupider farce t han
that of refusing white men the same
chance of using negro testimony in Ken
tucky courts that negroes have of using
alf sorts of testimony in Federal courts.

the existing discriminr A tion in favor of
the negro. why of cour se we can stand it
too. Assuredly we h' Aire no feeling about
the matter one way or the other. It is
one of those quest - lons which relate to
practical, every-d ay life, not to goverri
ment orsociety. It was carried by the
Democrats of O'Alo and Indiana when the
prejudice in those States against the ne
gro was as g'zeat as it is in Kentucky to
day. and at a time when there was no
Civil Bigl'As Bill to urge. it.
A I..OLICY WHICH ALARMS.
It is proper to state that the rumors of
the departure of filibustering expeditions
to Cuba, from some of our principal sea
ports, are apparently discredited in semi
official quarters. It may be that our
Federal authorities, at New Orleans and
New York, as well as their superiors at
Washington, honestly avow their igno
rance touching the equipment and de
parture of these expeditions, bat we have
to regret that all of Ahem authorities do
net have better success in •keeping them
selves advised of what is going on, open
ly and with eclat, right under their official
noses. The local journals are full of mi
nutely written details, names, places, and
other facts, being re-published from day
to day, and their marine departments at
last redordingthe actual sailing of the clip
pers and steamers which bear the insur
gent recruits. And yet they know noth
ing about all this in high quarters at
Washington
One thing, however, is fortunately clear
enough. The leading Republican and
respectable newspapers of this country do
agree remarkably, •In their comments upon
the very grave consequences of the policy
which may suffer such acts of glaring ill
faith toward a friendly power. What the
Federal officers may not yet have discov
ered, is palpable to, and finds free criti
cisms in, the current press. The annexed
paragraph, from the Chicago Tribune,
gives to the readers a fair impression of
the general feeling of uneasiness, grow
ing oat of the Federal non-action policy
which recent occurrences seem to dis
close. Thus:
"The Government owes a duty to the
country as well as to Spain to take all
proper precautions to prevent the viola
tion of our laws, and of the laws of na
tions, by the fitting out in this country
of armed expeditions to Cuba. The cir
cumstances of the sailing of the Arago
are not yet known; and how far vigilance
was evaded we cannot say. While de•
mending justice of others towards the
United States, we must practice the same
law towards Spain that we demand shall
be complied with by England.
DOUBLE.HARRIELED HINTS.
A writer in the Pittsburgh Post discov
ers that the new Registry Law, with one
set of provisions fp;,.Philadelphia and
another systeni for the residue of the
Commonwealth, is "a kind of double
barreled law." He is right; It is a dou
ble-barreled arrangement, expressly pre
pared for thooting right and lett into
such covies of Democratic birds as polled
some twenty-one hundred illegal, and
already expurgated, votes at the October
election in Philadelphia.
Not to press our sporting neighbor's
figure of speech too fir, we might .add
that this double-barreled law; If not a
repeater itself, is calculated to silence all
the "repeaters" that ever expounded
Democracy by their votes at a score or
two of hustings on the same day. These
views of the subject are familiar to
our cotemporary, but he discreetly
forbears to present them. Evi
dently enamored of the fanciful
conception which his trope embodies, our
neighbor expands at once into a double
barreled exposition of his beau-ideal of a
Constitution, as to which, being revoca
ble or alterable "only by the authority
that made it," the Post declares that "the
life-giving principles and the death-doing
stroke must proceed from the same hand."
Could one have a neater illustration Of a
double-barreled Constitution ?
Our cotemporary quotes a judicial de
cision (Commonwealth vs. Gibbs, 4th
Dallas' Rep.) to sustain his opinion that
the new law requires qualifications in the
elector which are incompatible with the
Constitution of Pennsylvania. The case
cited is of a citizen indicted for riotous
conduct at the polls where,the vote of his
olind old father was challenged upon a
suspicion of Toryism. The Court then
holds, among other things, that the in:
dictment would lay more properly against
the inspectors for asking unpleasant
and unconstitutional questions of the
venerable, but somewhat dubious, phtrlot.
This is another double-barreled illustra
tion of the writer's ideas; but, unluckily,
the wrong barrel went off, showing that
our neighbor needs to be careful in hand
ling his Own tools. It was natural for
the Post to cite that case—as of a citizen
whose suffrage bad been impeached be
cause of an alleged disloyalty to his
country. Such victims of radical oppres
sion are plenty, even now.
But our Democratic neighbor comes
doWn at last from his fanciful Pegasus,
and looks at facts. He vows that the
law is unconstitutional; he goes even be
yond that, and declares that it is annoy
ing. But he cautions his frfends not to
put their faith in tribunals, which have
too many Republican judges to be . alto•
gether honest, but to take a bond of fate,
comply with the law, and register every
Democratic vote. Here we have pith,
prudence, and practical , good-sense.
When our neighbor can really come so
wisely to a point of policy, will do
well to stick to it, and forego his double
barreled metaphors altogether.
Let our Republican friends take the
same advice, in taking the hint with
which it forewarns them. Our opponents
are .regiitering already. "Some town.

We urge npon our Mends to' go and do
likewise. Let, there be a commendable
rivalry in this, "good work," and then
our neighbor's double-barreled advice will
digood execution on both sides.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Not long since, we gave the time and
place of holding the General Assemblies
of the different Presbyterian bodies in
May. The following list of the ecclesi
astical bodies, the highest: judicatories of
the respective denominations named is
more complete. They will meet mostly
this month.. The Old and New School
Presbyterian General Assemblies both
meet in New York city, May 20th. The
Southern (Secederi) Presbyterian As:
sembly meets at Mobile, Ala., on the
same day, and the Cumberland Presbyte
rian, at Murfreesboro, Tenn., at the same
time. The United Presbyterian Assem
bly will convene at ISonmouth, Illinois,
May 26th. The Reformed' Presbyterian
holds its annual session at Cedarville,
Ohio, May 19th. One wing of the Lu
theran body meet at Washington City,
Tuesday of next week. General Synod
of ,the Reformed (Dutch) \ Church will
kneel at Philadelphia. June 2d. The Gen
eral Conference of the United Brethren
in Christ will be held at Lebanon, Penn.,
about thu middle of this month. The
Baptists meet for Conference, we believe,
in connection with the general anniver
saries of the
,different benevolent socie
ties of the Church, and not for legisla
tion, as this part is transacted in the local
bodies. The usual anniversaries this year,
of our Baptist friends will *take place
in Boston, commencing the 18th, and
closing on the 20th of this month. Quite
a number of State Congregational Asso
ciations, in Western States, hold their
annual sessions during this , month and
June. The German Reformed General
Synod will not meet until November
24th. It Will hold its next session In
Philadelphia.
The Third Unitarian Church of New
York city have sold its house'of worship,
and will worship hereafter in Lyric Hall.
This movement is designed to accomplish
a two-fold Object,—to enable 'the Society
.1
to erect a fi ne 1104 to be used on Sunday
for worship and to be rented for lectures,
concerts, etc.,—to_secure revenue enough
by that means, and the rent of the stores
on the first fitu?r, which will enable it to
furnish its sitting's free to all who may be
attracted to fill them on Sunday. These
are the reasons offered for preferring an
unconsecrated secular hall, foriun eccles
iastical edlice wholly set apart for wor
ship.
Sunday week sixty-two persons were
formally received into Rev. _Henry Ward
Beecher's church, fifty on profession,
and twelve by letter. The independent
says the pulpit was laden with flowers--
the preacher standing like a florist in a
conservatory', At the conclusion of the
communion—Lservices, each of the new
members received a small boquet, as a fra
grant memorial of the happy hour.
The Lutheran Obserrer advocates con
ferences on the subject of union between
the adherents of the General Council and
General Synod.
The Church Music question is now oc
c4pying considerable attention, espec
ially the cost of sustaining this depart
ment in worship. It is estimated the
music 'tithe nine Congregational churches
of Boston cost nearly two thousand dol
lars, while ,three Unitarian—churches of
Boston pay from live to ten thousand
dollars yearly for music.
We hardly think it true the report that
among those who petitioned that the
Milwaukee Library Association would
open its library on Sunday was Bishop
Armitage, (Episcopal) of Wisconsin.
Rev. G. H. Doane has collected for
the American (Catholic) College at
Rome, in round figures, one hundred said
sixty-eight thousand dollar& He is to
visit the Diocese of Brooklyn In June,
after which, with the general collections
ordered by the Plenary Council, the bal
ance required to secure a permanent en
dowment and support for the National
College in the Eternal City, will be se
cured.
The Beligtous Tekseope, in discussing
"Tobacco and the Gospel," uses severe
strictures ors. -persons indulging in the
weed. It thinks that even among Chris
tians there is inuch filthineis of the flesh,
and much need of the Gospel of purifica
tion. It, however, argued that while it
will not undertake to say "that tobacco
soaked Christiana will not get to heaven,
there is no Elsa In saying that their
chances would be vastly improved if they
would deny themselves of this detestable
carnal lust." 1
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tions of the United States and Canadas
will hold a Convention in Portland,
Maine, on tho 14th of July next.
Seven Presbyteries of the Synod of
Kentucky, of lthe Declaration and Testi
mony party, ave appointed Commis
sioners to the. General Assembly of the
Southern Prsbyterian Church. which
meets in Melilla, Ala., on the 20th of
May.
The two hundredth anniversary of the
Old South chnrch, Boston, founded in
May 1069, Will be observed this month
with appropriate ceremonies.
The fi ft y- th ird anniversary of the
American Bible Society will be held as
-usual this year. The time fixed is May
18th, at whichaddresses will be delivered
by Prof. Martin, of China, Dr. Schenck,
of. Brooklyn, and Dr. Tiffany, of New
Brunswick, New;.Tersey.

Anew religioluf society has been or
ganized, on the basis of communism, there
being perfect social equality between all
the members, who all work
.at the same
tasks and enjoy the same privileges.
This society haslsixteen hundred acres of
hind on the margin of Lake Erie, in the
county of Chatauqua and township of
Pomfret, New York, lying around and
including the station of Brocton, where
the Lake Shore and the Buffalo and Pitts- .
burglit railroads intersect. Almost every."
thing is in a' chaotic state. They have,
however, commenced the cultnrebf grape
on a large Nude, having eighty acres de
voted to the vine. Their, religious belief
begins with Unitarianism inverted—that
is, they reject the_Trinity, but recognize
Jesus Christ as the one only and true
God. Beyond this, there is nothing tangi
ble in their tenets. Personal revelation
from on high; a mysterious co ection
with the Godhead, which the call a
divine respiration, conducting to ewness
of life; a self-consciousness of the spir
itual transformation, and a subt e, unde
finable repulsion by which they r cognize
and reject the unregenerate—all these
doctrines are Iso undeterminkte and
shadowy that we cannot -be sure we com
prehend them:
Dr. Dennison, Secretary of the Idis.
sionary Society '
,of the Protestant Episco
pal Church, stated,' in a recent address,
that there were fourteen h . undred parishes
in the west and north-west that contribu
ted nothing towaid foreign missions.
The Amerman Christian Re f eu, of
Cincinnati, orkri l ,n of the Christi (Dis
ciples) Church, denounces hi strong lan
guage the use Of instrumental nittiic in
pufdic worship, and in Sabbath schools.
The following - advertisement we give
without charge : "A pastor is wanted
for a Baptist church on Long Island.
Salary, $l,OOO. 'Address Box 3567, New
York." This is rather a nova. way of
getting &minister.
Elsewhere will be found the announce
ment that Rev J. E. Twitchell, of Ittans
field, Ohio, will preach for the Flynt:nth
Congregational Church, which holds its
services in the Academy of Music; to
morrow morning and evening. The pub
lic will doubtless appreciate the change
from,the former place of worship to this
central and attractive audience-room of
the Academy Of Milk.' When this con
gregation worshipped there before, large
audiences were present.
The. Popular Family Sewing Machine.
The sewing machine perfect in every
respect and capable of performing all
description of labor, even to button-hole
working and oyerseaming, must com
mend itself in high terms to the public.
II is therefore not surpising that the
public now so generally appreciate the
great American button hole, orersearu
trig and general family sewing machine,
for which our courteous friend, Mr.
James Espy, is the agent for this neigh
borhood, and haw established his dales
and exhibition rooms at corner of Fifth
avenue and Market street, entrance at
No. 12 Fifth avenue, one door be
low Market street. This candidate for
favor on the ground of superiority
of work accomplished, its wide range of
labor, its simplicity in construction, dur
ability and general excellence, claims
much consideration, and we marvel not
that it is attracting such wide attention.
It will be remembered that thn Ameri
can is a perfect family sewing machine,
Capable of well and faithfully perform
ing every description of ordinary and
fancy sewing, and at the same time
es those admirable combinations
possesses
I= 3, ton-hole sewing and over seam
ing, advantages which cannot be over
estimated. Thus it will Mich, hem, tell,
tuck, cord, braid, quilt, gather and sew
on, oyer-seam, embroider on the edge,
and do beautiful button-hole and eylet
hole work. Notwithstanding that it
accomplishes all this work and thetas
machinery and furniture are of the very
best quality, Mill it is sold at much lower
prices than any other popular machine.
We have seen it "In operation and have
examined its work, and can commend it
will full knowledge of its superiority to
our readers, and ask that they pay a visit
to the elegant rooms of Mr. Espy and in
spect for themselves its many"advantages
and benefits over any and all other com
petitors in the field. •

the Island from Spanish rule. Were he
to follow his own Judgment, the rights of
the Cubans to belligerency on land
would be recognized, but his . Cabinet
counsellors, with two exceptions, oppose
this course at the present time, and he
could not take such an important step
against their advice. In short, this gen

concealment as' to his views, either
uptin this question or the one of extend-

Dr. KeYser's Blood Searcher is the best. It is
computed that a man's , system undergoes three
times a year, that is every four months, a radical
and thorough change, that is, that at the end of
that time nothing remains in the system of the.
material of which It was composed before that
time. The eliminating organs carry out the
worn-out and used. up material. and new matter
Is made to take Its place and carry on the work
ings of the human organism. The cost of four
months treatment In this way would not at the
outside be more than ten dollars, and frequently
the functions of life have an activity and vigor.

one bottle, costirg only one dollar. No organ of
the body but will be benefited by such a process.
