They reason ma, however, and we commend their sound words to same Re= publican editCrs who would noli;be the worse for pondering them seriouily; for rely upon it the whole country is swing ing round very fast to the same views. They say: t "Independent of our Interest, aa man ufacturers of pig iron, we think that our country demands, and each year will'in crease the demand, for protection to I American Industries of all kinds, until we are altogether independent of foreign manufacturers, and having taken oar proper place ~ a s exporters of an excess beyond our iiimors. .

Yer so it is, and the wheels of nature move as usual, and people eat, and drink, and sleep' just as well as they did in days of yore, when sapient Can etaians debated the question whether ne goes were men at all. Senators, whose sympathies are with the former rather than the present occupant of that seat, re. slated the induction of Mr. Ravers, and even cited that disgraceful sifter dictum, that a colored man, although free, is not a citizen, and therefore that Mr. RETExa was not eligible, his citizenship having commenced lesi than nine years ago. 'Very properly the Senate treated such authority as that with the contempt it de:. served, and admitted, the colored Senator by a strict party vote, which, happily for the country, is a very large majority.

Ho sold : I trust this question will not be refer red to the committee, but that the Sal ute itself will decide it.. I remember very lAD, Mr. President, that just before the southern Senators left this chamber, in 1861, I had a conversation with Mr. Jefferson Davis, in which be complained thatthe people of the North bad inter fered with the rights of the South. sem. daffy in taking from them their slaves I remember that I said to him: "You of Mississippi have no right to complain—l do not think a single siaveholder in the whole; State of Mississippi ever lost a shore In the way you speak of." The 'conversation continued some time. lend to him: Sir, let me tell you that if you secede tom here, the moment a gun has been fired against the &go( thisconntry slavery ceases; end the logical conclusion after that will be that the slave w be recognized is a citizen ; and he will tee into the halls of Congress ; midi be lave, to the Justice of God, that a oegro o me day will occupy your seat." [Lilts r.] I am glad to believe today that what I thought then might happen in the future has come to puma :Sir, we ought to remember bow much those people have' helped us In saving the country. Ido not think I should have attempted to my a word If the boo °rabic. Senator from Oregon had not got up to make an -argument that this man has more of white than of black blood In his veins. What do I care which pre pondorateaf He hi a man; and his race, when the country was in its peril, came to the rescue. Mr. Stanton, who is now, I trust, sainted above for hla virtues and his services here, said to me, "This whole owned would have gone against us If at the last moment we had not got two hundred thousand negroes to come and join our armies and turn the fide of vie• tory upon onralds.tt I admit that It somewhat shocks toy old prejudices. i.e It probably does the prejudioes of many more here, that ono of the despised race should come here to be my equalt!but l look upon It as the act of Ood....liain Ma providence allowed the war, to take place; and it destroyed the only blot upon the escutcheon of our country, which was slavery; and the logical conelaslon now is that after, bay ing freed the slave he becomes a citizen, , and when he becomes a voter he as nat. ! orally becomes the redolent of office.

SUALL WE lIIKP,XI4I,4TE I Our news columns, a day or two since, presented two arinouncementastrikingly Sa contrut with each other. Maine pays heideici sanoiding to her contracts—and Pennsylvania repudiates Der obligations. We can as well afford to be honest here, as any of Me' NMI; England .communi. tics. We can no more afford, than they, to disregard any clearly adjudged Habil!. ty. The recent 'decision of the Supreme emirs •of the United States is no More • aceepiable to the Yankees of thine than to the people of our own Commonwealth, yet they offer to us an example, of loyal and wise submission to a lawful decree, which we should not need to await, but which we, should not hesitate .to follow. Nay, Pennsylvania la doubtless far better able, in point of her 2.11a1144 situation, to yield a prompt and koplicit concurrence in the declared validity .nose,.of. all contracts for coin dated prior to . Pehroary, '62, than is her sistq Etate—for 'probably the latter can reckon upon nolarge amount of available coin assets, whim our own State has et this moment, dollar for dollar, cola as-, sea for all her coin liabilities under the Supreme Court judgment: It is simply - most lamentable, then, that our Conunisaloners of the Sinking Pond should publicly assume the responsibility of declaring that , they.. regard that judgment as's nullity, and continue to offer only • a depreciated psi= to the holders of what Is legally a Coil debt: Thns, the old litigate of repediatlon is agaUt fruitedto - tarnish the credit of Peattsylvank; lied wholly without that apology; In any necessities of the eltua. Alon i cwhinbi 10864, justified ,the real of the resolution of 1840. To re-estab lish then a credit which had already been shaken by one reptnliation-of her oblige• lions, she adopted this resolve: "The interest tailing due on Pennsyl vania stock shall always be paid in anode or its equivalent. and whenever the fends accumulated in the Treasury for the payment of interest shall be of lees value than specie, it shall be lawful for the Governor and he is hereby re quired to rause the difference in value between such fbrida and specie to he as certained and certitied to him on the day preceding that on which any eared-annual portion of interest becomes due, by the Auditor General and State Treasurer un der oath or affirmation, and thereupon to lune his Warrant to the agents or banks who may bo authorized to pay such inter• eet on behalf of the Conamonwealtbite allow such difference in value to the holder- or legal representative of the holder, or to pay the same In specie if re qulred by such holder." This was repealed in 1864, whena gold dollar was worth more than two of piper, and In the midst of all the critical emer gencies of a desperate war for our very life as a people. Bat, the cage is fir otherwise to-day. We' need not dwell upon the palpable distinctions. It la enough to Insist that Pennsylvania Is far better able to pay the Email premium now ruling their bear the reproach which this declaration from the Commissioners must revive against her too often impugned financial honor. The, late judgment of the Court is most unpalatable to a majority of our people. But, until reversed by the same tribunal, It Is the supreme law of the laud, which Individrudtt dare not rcsiet and which not even millions of tempta tion can repay a State, a loyal State like oars, for nullifying In this high-banded way. How can she thus expect the Xtlth Article to be obeyed in Kentucky or Maryland ? We reiterate the statements which not long Mew appeared In _this journal. The Commonwealth has due to her, dol lar for dollar, as much coin as she owes, taking that judgment for the standard. Rising ten millions of dollars are due to as from the Pennsylvania Railroad, in annual payments of 4460,000 each; every dollar of which la collectable in coin under that judgment. So we have nearly ten millions of corporation stocks, the divi dends upon which are als9 (theta specie. And we owe but about 411,000,000 al together of debt which is made a coin debt by the judgment of the Court. Leaving the stocks untouched, the divi dends arid`the 4230,000 due in July from the Railroad, would materially assist the Treasury in meeting its honest obliga tions for interest and for the loan of $1,400,000, soon to bo due. The excuse given by the ComMisaion ent—that the judgment was that of a mi nority of the Court—is an error in fsct, and in its disregard of public decency, a paltry one. Does It lie in the month of Pennsylvania Republicans to talk in this way of a "rump" Court? Its decrees are aa valid as any of the Acts of the past five Congresses, and none but blind par tisans of any creed may doubt the validity of either. Have we no 'Senators or Representatives with sagacity grid nerve enough, enough of loyal regard for the honor of Penn sylvania, to bring the Legislature to a Komi* Tote at once on this question? Why notre affirm the resolution of 1840? Or is it intended to make our creditors pay the expense of remitting :our just dins from our debtors? is it our debtors and not our creditors whom the Commis. stoners are the teestriender for? The Central Kitchen a gueeema. Prof. Blot, proprietor or the Brooklyn Central 'Kitchen, already has been com pelled to enlarge Ida bonndarlea, boilers, taken and broilers. , - Already, for less than two months ago "Prof. Blot began, in a email - sized house in Hamilton street, what he modestly called an "experiment" in supplying awl delivering warm cooked food to families in any part of the city, in • better man ner and at cheaper rates than they couid prepare similar (by means precisely the same) dishes in their own houses; and, in many instances at leas cost even than of the raw materials in market. As the event has proved, calling this scheme an experiment is much as if Barnum, when be put up on his Museum the first Drum mood light ever seen In New York city, had advertised it as an "experiment," and had forthwith blared down Bios& way, - as he did, to the Battery, and up Broadway to Tenth street, making that thoroughfare, at intervals, as light at night as at noon. II For a new and scarcely less vivid light broke in upon Brooklyn with the open ing of Blot's establishment on Hamilton street. The journals in this city and Brooklyn announced his general plan, and at once the Professor was overwhelm ed with visitors and orders. .Ladies went to hint In distress and detailed their do mestic difficulties In providing desent dinners for their own households, let alonethe greater griefs of preparing for company, and went away delighted, not only with what Blot promised, but per formed before their wonder-opened eyes. Here was instruction looking to improve ment—here was both the remedy smiths relief. Nor ware these Interviews withoutthelr immediate benefit to Blot. The bread, including the sweetbreads, thus mist upon the waters came back in Use shape of calls which soon numbered as many as three hundred orders a day. The kitchen range was in full blast and busily em ployed from half past seven o'clockin the morning to ten o'clock at night. Orders continued to Increase, till the Professor was obliged to refuse a great many people and submit to unpleasant remarks thereon; till, as he confesses, while cooking for others be found no time, - himself, to eat, and until the else' nd resources of his es tablishment became utterly Inadequate to supply the wants of those whom he wished to serve as regular custoraers. But, as a business promise, these very annoyances were pleasant, and. Professor Blot at one cast about for quarters which would be ample enough for the present and the future. The "experiment" had become an established Success, and, that, too, In a little more than three weeks; for on the first of Febrnaty ha closed the Hamilton street kitchen and removed to more commodious quarters. Ire the greet snow storm in Maine on the 15th inst., Mis. Nathaniel Moody left Lewiston with &horse and pang for her ! hoine in Auburn, on - the westerly side of Taylor pond.

Chaptei. on the ~/ntintafe Zttquettt." of the SeXes. l Prom "okuley Dam" "roma of InLlght. r,osuOlr of Elponeac,-) Sornebody wants a chapter on what may be termed intimate etiquette.

Mothers and item often , to-leacy that knowledge how-teem:duct oneself in the delicate dilemma of life comes by instinct. Girls leave School and go Into society with thi vaguest of =Semi about ' their' relations to it and stumble through its small dlMcnitits, hiding their embarrass ments se beat they can, keeping a brave front to the last," while the world never venni the secret tortures they undergo in trifling matters. ,011 en enough, for more restless craving for •noltel confiden eta, yoting ladies seek public instead of private advice, when their mothers and ] friends are ready and competent to give them all the help they need. • lint there is amg deal of trial that besets young girls at the ago when, they feel allures most keenly, which the best parents neg lect to provide against. They ought to call their oWn debates of etiquette In youth, and teach their ehildren prudence before they need it. Forewarned, fore, armed. 'Nellie, see here," says a prudent father to hilt girl of sixteen, in her tarleton ball dress, warming her slippers before the fire, welting her esniert—l girls ever do any other .waiting, " you*re looking sweetly fresh to-night, and as fresh In heart as in dress I hope. You are to stay so modals". You are not to let people hold you close when you waltz, nobody has . any- business to touch you till you have a husband of your own. I don't want my girl talked about. Remember, no , body has the least right on any pretense to do more than-touch your fingers, or lay his hand on you In the permitted , freedom of the waits., unless ho is your relative, or golhg to be." And afterthat she would probably sit in the conservatory, letting handsome Jack, the feat fiat and lady.killer, slip his arm by degrees from the be ck of her chair, lift liar locket from her bare neck and kiss her hand nail he dared kiss her lips, and gather her close to him. which would probably be the sixth time they met at the farthest. You see men and women like such thing" It's right they should! I'm not going to belle the blood that heats In this wrist for an 'instant, to say they should not. Only one may have some choice as to whether one will accept caresses from the Whole - Sala stock of natural liking, or the special reserved fund of precious perform ance. Somme, young warmhearted girl, that as you lean on that broad shoul der in the half lit parlor tonight, think ing how nice it is to have somebody fond and protecting, and how dear you seem to him, suppose you should, by some invisible magnetic sense, be made aware of all the cheeks that had rested upon that shoulder, and all. the forms that arm had encircled. It's fortunate you don't know these things. It might lead you, how. ever, to keep yourself. more mired for some one who will love you as entirely as you love this man, who "takes life 611 it comes," and by force of habit, if not by inclination, could not remember one woman six months If his happiness de. pended on it. Did you ever see the the old fashired book on etiquette called the "Toxin La dy's Friend?" Good Mrs. 'Farrar will never gores the bepi fit that straightfor ward, wholesome book of advice has ban to girls. She knew the class she was writing for, and gave her opinion In such frank words as those I quote from mem• ory: "You are to allow no personal freedoms from gentlemen of your ac. quaintance. If a finger is put out to ex. amine a locket or chain qu your dress, draw back and take it off for inspection if you choose. The reason for this rule is ' I clear to those who are better ecquallited with the world." .• The reason Is perfectly clear So every one who comes to twenty-Aye yariorage outside of a reform Inedintion. A man of society, who dealt in occasional rough' nese of speech, said once in a parlor be fore ladies, that he would never marry a then New York girl of fashion, for the class allowed themselves to be handled too much. A girl who protects herself from the freedom too mach in vogue in society, increases her own value, if she only knew it, with those ,he may have to repulse. I don't believe In prudishness or suspicion, bull do believe that when men and women are not content with the friendship that cannot be expressed by frank, kind eyes, and cordial, brief head :shakes, and clear words one Is not I ashamed that the world should hear, they should know what intoxication they are sharing. There is a fine, distinct line between the cordial commerce of good will and Heaven-warm affer.tiori, that binds the human. family together, and these leadings of attraction that with nameless license destroy' the bloom of refinement, • There is one rule that settles 'thousand queries of the nature we are considering. Whatever is secret may be safely un touched. The touch, the tool:1 i .. the inti macy, the correspondence that needs to be secret, has something wrong about It. If yop are sure there is no evil in your motives, for Heaven's sake come out and, avow your friendehip, your design, what ever it may be. You make 'the world purer and set a precedent by your frank nen that tears away a thousand hypocri • cies. The world has a keen vent for the really innocent, and if you cannot face its first - sneers of criticism; you have reason to doubt yourself. The Shatmerean Torch:Biarer. A most Interesting Shakesperean link (humanly speaking) Is, now existent at Booth's Theatre, in the person of Mr. Drummond, a gentleman who Is In the eighty•foorth year of his age, and, who, for more than seventy years, has been an actor; nor can it be said that euperiltions legs the veteran on the stage, for he gives his lines as the Priest In "Hamlet," with dignity, force and point, admirable in a man half his age, and extraordinarily so when the four score years are considered. And now comes the point. Id.r. Drum mond, in his youth, played "Erery.Man in hie Humor," with George Frederick Cooke. Cooke had studied Garrick's acting. and probably played with him. Garrick, In his turn, had known thogreat Betterton.
