Systematic Libertinism.
The New York Tribune has recently
been making some investigations into the
extent of the 'Free Love' organization in
New York city. It states that the Free
Love Society, or as it calls itself, the Pro
gressivo Union club, has grown out of an
organization devised by certain socia
theorists, including Messrs. Stephen Pear
Andrews, Albert Brisbane, and others
wno gave it the appellation of the League
It was designed bv them as a secret no.
fttical order, and to regulate tho affairs
ot commerce- and tho price of corn on the
"back of 'Cost the limit of Price' but this
plan was not carried out, and for the time
"being, some of them, led bv Mr. Andrews.
betook themselves to the consideration of
Passional Attraction, or Free Love. The
.League which yet exist3, and as far as
possible endeavors to extend its organi
zation and influence, is still a much more
secret society than the Club, and very lit--tle
is known of its doings by those who
":iro not members. Occasionally, the Chief
assucs a Dulletm, which is so general and
vague m its terms that it may mean some
thing or nothing, ono thincr or another.
according to the mood or imacination of
the reader.
The Club, on the other hand, is a fixed
fact. It meets on Monday and Thurs
day evening of each week, over Taylor's

upper saiuuu, no. oroaaway, J. ills
club is composed of between five and six
hundred members, with an average at
tendance of one hundred and fifty, though
the attendance has been much larger than
usual since the affair has gained some
general notoriety. At theso scmi-wcek-ly
meetings, tho members of tho club and
the .strangers whom they introduce, walk,
talk, waltz, sing, flirt, and endeavor to
enjoy themselves as best they may eaeh
selecting his or her associate according
to attraction and affinities, and always
with a due regard to Individual Sover
eignty. Although the exercises, topics, and a
musemcnta indulged in take a wide range,
tho main idea which draws and holds to
gether this motley party, is Free Love, or
PasHonal Attraction, as some of them
prefer to call it. They repudiate the pres
ent system of marriage, deny the right of
society or tho state to interfere in any
way with the subject any further than it
may rightfully interfere with any civil
routract, and contend that marriage may
he a limited or life partership, at the op
tion of the man and woman who are the
hole and rightful judges of the time and
manner of its beginning and termination.
One of their favorite dogmas is that a wo
man has the riabt to choose the father of
her own child. This theory has been re
duced to practice to a considerable ex
tent. Many intelligent persons of both
fcxes arc connected with the organiza
tion. Sharpo Retort.
Hon. Jere Clemens formerly U. S.
Senator, who has been bitterly assailed
by the Administration organs as an A
merican, and his defeat the subject of re
joicing, writes:
I was beaten, it is true, but when I
commenced the canvass the American
party in this county did not number over
:J0OT out of a voting population of nearly
2100. The administration party had a
clear majority of nearly 1500. In ticc
zccccs this majority was reduced to less
than eight hundred against the American
candidate for Governor, and to 150 a
gainst mc.
Independent of thought or action, is
Bouiethiiig which the editor of the Union
never understood, any more than he un
derstood morality and honor when he
sought, through an agent, to induce a
drunken man to utter the foulest calum
nies upon the reputation of a woman.
But he does not understand the way to
executive fat or, and he knows well enough,
that if I had wanted office, I had only to
stoop to the meanness, which is part of
his nature, to obtain. I had only to swear
that Washington never approached Pierce
in administrative ability, that Jackon had
never been half so "open, frank and man
ly" in his dealings with his countrymen;
that squatter sovereignty was a direct
visitation, from leaven; that the burning
ofGrcyton was an achievement worthy
of Napoleon; that the shamelesss backing
out from all the administration's Cuban
blustering, was the perfection of foresight
and courage; that its double-dealing with
Soule and Quitman was candor and hon
or; that the appointment of Dix and Coch
rane was the essence of Southern Rights,
aud the wisdom of the selection of Bel
mout was vindicated by the fact that old
clothes had fallen full twenty per cent.
These, and a few like things, would doubt
less, have won for mo the suunicst smiles
of the Executive, and saved me from the
charge of having "repudiated principels,"
"severed ties," aud forsaken associations;"
words which it is easy to use, but some
what difficult to prove. I have repudiat
ed no principales. My opinion of foreign
ers was openly avowed before tho Amer
ican party had existence. I denounced
squatter sovereignty in the Senate, and
have never been able to discover any
beauty in it since the President took it to
bis bosom. J opposed extravagant ex
penditure of the publio money, and my
faith in the correctness of the principle
has not been shaken by the fact that the
present administration has run them up
to more than eighty millions of dollars.
As to "severing ties," I know of none
that bound me to pronounce that evil was
good, and as I never had any associations
with the editor of the Union, I could not
Lave forsaken thorn.
Oil trom Canned Coal. An ex
change paper says that a large mill for
the manufacture of oil from newly dis
covered cannel coal in Breckcnridge
county, near Cloverport, in Kentucky, is
bein" erected. By analyaation, it has
beenfound to yield a large per centum of
oil of superior quality for the use of
machinery, &o. The Louisville Courier
says that it can be furnished at a mere
nominal price, compared witb hog or oth

in this country.
Playing 'Old Sledge' fota Baby.
On the mountain near the snmmit,livcs
a woman, who, albeit not possessed o
many goods and chattels, has a plentifu
supply of offspring. Some two or three
weeks ago a genteel-looking young wo
man called upon hor, having in her arms
a fine, red cheeked, chubby faced boy, a
bout nine months old. She asked tho
lady of tho house permission to lay her
child upon the bed, while she made sun
dry and divers calls. This the kind
hearted woman readily granted, and the
mother departed. The day passed away,
and the week followed, but no mother
made her appearance. In short tho child
was left on the woman's hands. In view
of the fact that she was bountifully blest
with babies of her own, the woman look
ed about to see what disposition to make
of the young stranger. The circumstance
naturally created some talk in the neigh
borhood, and, strange as it may seem, two
childless gentlemen met at the house at
the same time, both for tho avowed pur
pose of relieving her by adopting the
child. Here was a dilemma. JJoth had
equal claims, and both were equally ca
pablo of raising the young etranger. The
claimants waxed warm, and words ran
high, and the little fat fellow who was
kickiug up his legs and crowning ou the
bed, came near being the innocent cause
of a belligerent set-to. lleason, howev
er, came to tho aid of A., and ho pro
posed a single game of 'old sledge or
'seven up,' to decide who should tako the
f. This proposition was readily ac
ceded to by B. A table was set out, a
pack of cards produced, at it they went.
The cards were cut, shufHed, and dealt
and by dint of close playing A. made five
points aud B. six points, leaving him one
to go. A. now dealt and turned a lack,
caving him one also to go; B. stood on
the king, and won the game; then seizing
the baby he hugged him in his arms, and
the new 'daddy' marched off in triumph.
Who oan coniecturo what part m life s
.Ira ma may yet be performed by the boy
that was won at a game of old sledge ?

The Great Twenty Thousand Dollar
Shooting Match.
The great pigeon shooting match be
wecn Wm. King of Florida and B. Dun
can of Kentucky, for 310,000 a side, was
concluded at Cincinnati on Monday, hav
ing commenced on Saturdaj'. On the
Gr-t day, the contest closed as follows:
Kins misled 7 birds out of 30 double
shot-, aud Duncan missed i) birds out of
the same number, thus leaving King 2 a
head. On Monday afternoon the weath
er was most favorable, and the shooting
ground was fullv attended by friends of
either party. Each was sanguine of suc
cess, but the chances were so evenly bal
anced that no great odds were for either
of the contestants. The Etfquirer gives
the following summary of the shooting,by
which it will be seen that the Kentucky
sportsman beat his antagonist one bird .

Duncan has been victorious according
to the rules by which they shot, but neith
er contestant can feel but that they have
come from a field on which tbey have
done honor to themselves. It will be
readily understood, when made known,
that if two birds were killed by a dis
charge from ono barrel and this fre
quently occurred it could not count, but
must be shot over again. We add to
our report a" note supplied by the judges:
"The judges of this match feel them
selves callea upon to append to the form
al statement of the result of the shooting,
the following fact: Upon the third round
of the first day's shooting, the recoil of
Mr. King's gun caused not only an abra
sion of the skin, but an effusion -of blood,
producing considerable soreness of the
middle finger, the guard striking him on
that point every shot. Notwithstanding
this accident, Mr. King shot magnif
icently, and had enthusiaEtio backers
up to the forty-fifth shot.
