were re-assured by the air with which he told
them that he knew how to keep priests in order.
He was indeed so free from ally bigoted at
tachment to the religion in which be had been
brought up, that both Papists and Protestants
hoped at different times to make him a prose
lyte. Burnet, commissioned by his brethren,
and impelled, no doubt, by his own restless Curi
osity and love of meddling, repaired to Deptford,
and was honored with several audiences. The
Czar could not be persuaded to exhibithlmself at
St. Paul's; but he was induced to visitlambeth
Palace. There he saw the ceremony of ordina
tion performed, and expressed warm approba
tion of the Anglican ritual Nothing in %En
gland astonished him so much as the archiepis
copal library. It was the first good collection
of books that he had seen; and he declared that
he had never imagined that there were so many
printed volumes in the world. •
' The impression which he made on Burnet Was
not favorable. The good bishop could not
understand that a mind which seemed to be
chiefly occupied with questions about the best
place for a capstan and the best way of rigging
a jury mast might be capable not merely of
ruling an empire, but of creating a nation- He
complained that he had gone to see a. great
prince and had found only an industrious
shipwright. Nor does Evelyn seem to have
formed a much more favorable opinion of his
august tenant. It was, indeed, not in the
character of tenant that the Czar was likely to
gain the good word of civilized men. With all
the high qualities which were peculiar to him
self, he had all the filthy habits which were
then common among his countrymen. To the
end of his life, while disciplining armies, found
ing schools, framing codes, organizing tribu
nals, building cities in deserts, joining distant
seas by artificial rivers, he lived in his palace
like a hog in a sty; and when he was entertained
by other sovereigns, never failed to Leave on
their tapestried walls and velvet state beds
unequivocal proofs that a savage had been
there. Evelyn's house was in such a state that
tlip Treasury quieted his complaints with a
considerable sum of money.
Toward the close of March the Czar visited
Portsmouth, saw a sham sea fight at Spithead,
watched every movement of the contending
fleets with intense interest, and expressed in.
warm terms his gratitude to the hospitable
government Ithich had provided so delightful
a spectacle for his amusement and instruction.
Aftsr passing more than three months in Eng
land he departed in high good humor.

Thomas Williams.
The rumor has been current for some time.
that Tames Wrr.m.ams, Esq., member of the
House from Allegheny, familiarly and irreve
tently called Tom_ Williams, is an applicant for
the high andhonorable position of Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United States. Since
another vacancy on the Bench has been created
by the death of Judge M'Lean we presume that
the claims of Mr. Williams will be pressed with
renewed earnestness. His qualifications are,
therefore, a proper subject of inquiry. Na
g, tare has made some strange fellows in her
"time," and she assuredly never played a
more fantastic trick than when she foisted Mr.
Williams upon the world in the capacity of a
great lawyer and legislator. He is about the
last man on earth whose name should be used
in connection with the Supreme Court of the
United States. He may be possessed of ability
and learning, but his judgment is radically de
fective; and this quality is indispensable in a
judge. His prominence is due to two circum
stances—first, that he resides in a district
which gave Lincoln ten thousand majority;
and second, that he has made himself celebrated
(or perhaps it would be more accurate to say
conspicuously ridiculous) by his advocacy of
repudiation, and his intemperate and dashing
assaults upon the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania, because it refused to sanction his pecu
liar legal ideas. His hatred of the Supreme
Court amounts to a species of insanity. To
mention the judges is enough to precipitate
him into a paroxysm of anger. His copious
vocabulary of abuse never yields a more unre
mitting stream of invective, than when be
draws upon it for terms with which to belabor
the judges. As one of his party friends told
him upon the floor of the House the other day,
he came to the Legislature "overflowing with
"Malignity" towards the Supreme - Court. He
would impeach the judges, he would have them
removed by address, he would utterly destroy
public confidence in their integrity. This pur
pose was the main object of his mission to the
Legislature; and he has been chafing and fu
ming and bristling all the session because he
cannot carry his malignant purpose into exe
cution. Great is his mortification at the dis
covery that his influence amounts to nothing.
His advocacy of a measure is more to be dreaded
than his enmity. He poisons everything he fa
vors by his venom; and he is this day a dis
appointed and embittered man, who imagines
that half the world is in arms to crush him,
and whose idiosyncrasies and animosities ren
der him conspicuously unfit for a judicial office.
Heaven help the country if he shoul.l be thrust
upon the Supreme Bench of the United States!
Connecticut.
The election to Congress of Geo. C. Wood
rnT, Democrat, in the Fairfield and Litchfield
district, in place of Ferry, Republican., is now
Conceded even by the Republicans. His ma
:jority is about 80. So the Congressional dele
gation is equally divided-2 Dem. and 2 Rep.
In the last Congress, 4 Republicans. English's
!Dem.) majority in the New Haven district is
over 1,000.
Senate-8 Democrats.and 13 Republicans.—
Last year, 7 and 14.
Souse—about two-thirds Republicans. Thi s
fact need create no surprise, when it is con
sidered that a rotten borough system prevails
n Connecticut, by which several townships of
less than 1,000 inhabitants send each as many
Representatives as New Haven, with a popu
lation of 40,000. Windham county, with a pop
ulation of 34,618, sends 24 Representatives,
nearly all Republicans, while New Haven town
ship, with 40,000 inhabitants, sends two, and
Hartford, with 80,000, sends two more. An
equal ratio with Windham county in proportion
to population, would give to these two Demo
cratic towns about 50 Representatives. They
actually have four !
Buckingham, Republican, for Governor, has
about 2,000 majority. Last year 541.
Two Paths.
Two paths are now open to the country, the
one leading to peace and ultimate re-union, the
other to war, bloodshed and permanent aliena
tion. It is for the Administration to determine
which shall be trod. The destiny of the coun
try for weal or woe turns upon the decision of
the LINCOLN Cabinet. We wish it was intrusted
to other heads and hearts; but it does not
mend the matter to lament that the head of the
Government, at the most critical period of its
history, is an inferior Western stump orator,
who demonstrated his ignorance and incapacity
during his progress to Washington We must
deal with facts as we find them. The arbiters
of our fate cannot now be changed. The issue
of peace or war is in their keeping. Let us
look at the alternative presented to this Adniin
istratien.
It may choose peace, and to accomplish this
purpose it is necessary—
I. To recognize the independence of the
Southern Confederacy by abandoning the forts
and abstaining from every attempt to collect the
Federal revenue, And in doing so it would not
be admitting the right of secession as a consti
tutional remedy against oppression, but merely
admitting the fact of successful revolution.—
As Congress failed to invest the Executive with
extraordinary power and means to enforce the
laws in the seceding States, although the fact
of secession was well understood long previous
to adjournment; and as the means at his dis
posal are sufficient to irritate, but not adequate
to subdue, the discretion confided to him by the
Constitution would warrant him in abstaining
from any proceeding against the seceding States
until his "lawful masters," the American peo
ple, direct otherwise.
11. The next step in the path of peace would
be to confirm the allegiance of the Border
States to the Union by consenting to an adjust
ment satisfactory to them.. Otherwise they too
may join the Southern Confederacy. Aggres
sive measures against the seceded States, or•
even measures that can be taken as aggressive,
would whirl them at once out of the Union ;
but the recognition of the Southern Government
and the evidence of akind and friendly feeling
by the North would secure their continued alle-
glance.
Let this policy be pursued, and Abolitionism
on the one hand and secession on the other will
have done its worst. The Border Slates, satis
fied and attached to, the Union by new ties,
would be effectually separated from the South
ern Confederacy and in the course of time
we might see the cotton States, like wayward
children, returning to the fold, and the Union,
so long our boast, restored upon a more per
manent And enduring basis.
But the Administration may choose war. It
may determine to hold and possess Fort Pick
ens, if for nothing else than to show that we
have a government. It may dispatch a few
thousand troops to that point, and give battle
to the assembled forces 'of the Southern Con
federacy. It may undertake to collect the reve
nue by blockading the Southern ports. It may
create universal panic and business'revulsion.
It may set in motion the whole train of terrors
that usually accompany civil war—and what
will it goomplish thereby ? Not a single use
ful result. Force cannot restore the Union,
and it is not desirable that it should. The Gov
ernment could not continue to garrison the
forts and collect the revenue from war vessels
for any great length of time. The end would
have to come soon; and that end would be the
recognition of the independence of the South
ern Government, which had better be done be
fore than after a useless and embittering war.
But while war would do no good, it would
accomplish incalculable evil. It would ineyi
tably, separate the Border States from the
Union, and erect on our southern border a pow
erful confederacy, embracing two-thirds of the
area of the Union, containing indefinite re.
sources, and an active and intelligent people,
animated with distrust, it not hatred, towards
the Northern States which so recently put forth
futile efforts to coerce them into submission.
When the consequences of peace, on the one
hand, attended by prosperity and Union with
the Border States, and the hope of ultimate
Union with all, and war upon the other hand,
with its accompanying horrors, and the certainty
of permanent disunion, are duly weighed, we
do not see how there is room for a moment's
hesitation. Which path is the Administration
going to take ? We have the very highest
authority for the assertion that " Wiatiorrs's ways
are pleasantness, and all her paths are Peace.",
Too Late.
The Tribune at the eleventh hour appeals to
the Union men of the South, remarks the Journal
of Commerce, to show their hand, and let it be
known whether they are ready to co-operate
with Union men in the North, for the preser
vation of the Federal Government. It asks—
" Is there a Union party in the seceded States?"
Alas for the blindness which, till now, has re
fused to bp enlightened! There would be no
need of asking such a question as this, had the
Republicans refrained from their fierce menaces
of coercion, in that terribly abused interval be
tween the election and the inauguration of Mr.
Lincoln. By threats and denunciations, suc
ceeding immediately to a triumph at the polls,
and fulminated indiscriminately at elaveholding
States? the Union sentiment there was to a
great extent crushed out and silenecid. So in
censed were the mass of the population in
those States, and especially in the Cotton
States, that an expression of loyalty to the
Union could Scarcely be tolerated.
There was another grand error. The vin
dictive spirit of partizanship at the North had
gained such strength pending the violent sec
previous years, that it
'final controversies of
could brook no opposition, and dealt out its
deadly missiles long after victory had been
proclaimed. The refractory Southerner s were
to be driven to the wall—qteir porta blockaded
—their resources cut off. Legislatures hastened
to vote large sums to carry on the coming . war,
and to furnish the requisite military equip
ments. This confirmed every apprehension
which had already found a lodgment in the
Southern mind. No better proof was needed,
even among the most incredulous,that the great
anti-slavery party of the North was bent on the
forcible extinction of the hated gs institution."
True wisdom would have dictated a course of
great moderation, coupled with kindly assuran
ces; and so would have given strength and
succor to the true conservative men of the
South who still remained faithful to the old
Constitution, and who were determined to seek
their rights in the Union, rather than out of it.
But no. They were beaten down by their own
professed friends, and soon overpowered by
increasing numbers.
It is well if those who have so loudly cried,
“Let slip the dogs of war," begin to discover
the incalculable mischief they have done.—
Though the Union is destroyed—perhaps ir
revocably—it may not be too late to avert the
shedding of blood.
The Western Elections.
The Western elections are surprisingly anti-
Republican, and show a remarkable change in
the vote since last fall. Cincinnati then gave
its vote for Lincoln. Now the average Demo
cratic majority is 4,000. Cleveland, Sandusky,
Columbus and Toledo, now Democratic, gave
their votes for Lincoln, if we mistake not.—
Remarking upon the result in Cincinnati, the
Gazette (Rep.) says:
"At the election held in this city yesterday,
the Republicans, to use a somewhat vulgar but
expressive term, were cleaned out. The re
turns do not present a single redeeming feature,
every candidate on the fusion ticket having
been elected by a sweeping majortty. The
average fusion majority is now, judging from
the returns at hand, up to the present writing,
over 4,000."
Possibly the following reasons assigned by
the Gazette for this defeat may have had their
influence upon other elections. It says :
"Anticipating the questions that will be
asked as to the cause of this Waterloo defeat,
we may say that Sumpter did it. The Repub-
Beane, dissatisfied and discouraged, had no
heart to work, and they surrendered without
seriously contesting the field. And if a tem
porizing policy is to be continued at Washing
ton, this is 'but the beginning of the end."
Besides the election in St. Louis, Kansas
City, and Jefferson City, those in Michigan
have chiefly resulted favorably to the Demo
crats. Grand Rapids elected the entire Demo
cratic ticket, with a gain of 850 votes since last
fall. , Democratic mayors were elected on' the
first inst., in Saginaw City, Lansing, Flint,
Coldwater, Owosso, Pontiac and Ypsilanti; and
the Democratic township tickets were success
ful in Corunna, Fentonville, Manchester, Ham
tramck, Brownstown, Springwells, Canton, and
Dearborn. Six township elections are reported
as carried by the Republicans.
DESCRIPTION OF A SHAKER VILLAGg.—A
correspondent, writing from Concord, N. H.,
sends the following interesting account of the
Canterbury Shakers:
Twelve miles from Concord, in the township
of Canterbury, is situated the Shakers' village.
These peculiar people have here a settlemeut
of about three hundred persons ; their buildings
are painted buff, and are large and commodi
ous. They reside in what they term "families,"
each numbering from fifty to a hundred souls.
The lower family is called the church family,
from the fact of the church being there situated.
Then there are the center family and the
north family. In winter they bade no public
worship, but the members of each family have
devotions in their respective houses. Their
farms' consist of some four thousand acres, in
a high state of cultivation, while their out
buildings Are not equalled by those of any farms
in the world. One barn we entered was two
hundred feet in length, with cellar underneath
for manure. Each cow had its name placed in
a conspicuous position. The barn or stable
was so clean that a lady with the finest silk
dress would not be in the least soiled. The
house we were in was painted yellow, furniture
and all, and oil cloth took the place of carpet
on the floor. The men wear blue cloth coats,
claret colored pants, and drab vests, the latter
garment coming down almost to their knees.
The women are dressed in white caps, with
their hair pushed back from their foreheads,
dark dresses fitting closely to their persons,
with high white collars coming up to their chins.
The groups presented quite a unique appear
ance. They are most excellent livers—the
dinner we sat down to would beat a good many
served up in New York. They have a very
good, though somewhat singular rule posted
up, which many families might profit from, viz:
"nothing must be left on the plate." They
hold their property in common, each one
having a share in it. Celibacy is strictly ad
hered to as the means of living a pure life ; in
deed, so strict are they that a man and wife
stopping there over night are obliged to sleep
in different apartments. Frederika Bremer, on
her visit to America, paid these people a visit,
and we had the pleasure of reading some of her
writing, which she had inscribed on the blank
leaf of one of her works which she dedicated to
the Shakers.
THE END OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.—The
Plattsburg, N. Y., Republican, contrasting the
promises of the Republicans before election,
with the professions and results of their policy
since, exclaims:
"And is this the end of all the lofty vapor=
ings of the Republican party—the country
dismembered without an effort to save it—the
border States retained in the Union by the
sacrifice, on the part of the, Republicans, of
every principle distinctive of them as a party—
and every material interest of the country
suffered to go to ruin—while the slave power,
which it was the peculiar mission of that in
conceivahle compound to exterminate, assumes
positions far in advance of any heretofore
taken by it, and supports its front by a display
of force, physioal and other, that cows its
craven opponents ? Was there ever, we ask,
such a shameless abandonment, by a party, of
its principles under the color of which it rode
into power? Not an effort made to carry out
their policy, not an effort to save the country
that is rapidly drifting on to the breakers of
disruption—nothing done in fact, except a mad,
disgraceful scramble for the spoils, to the ex
clusion of the great and materal interests of
the country from the minds of those to whom
the great trust administering the government
has been confided."
THE TAILIFF. —.a Point Well Taken. —An im
porting house in New York 'Love entered a protest
against paying the duties upon leather levied
under the new tariff. The ground of their
protest is, that duties on the same kind, de
scription, character and quality of leather are
not. levied and collected in other ports or the
United States, such as those of Georgia, Flor
ida, &c , though the Constitution declares tall
duties, imports, end excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States ;" and also by the
fifth clause of the ninth section of the same
article it is declared that 66 no preference shall
be given by any regulation of commerce or
revenue to the ports of one State over those of
another." It will give work to the constitu
tional lawyers to get over this objection.
GENERAL NEWS.
A BARK Susi) FOR REFUSING TO REDEEM ITS
NOTES.—We learn from the Pittsburg Chronicle
that Mr. Lmffman, a merchant. of that city,
has instituted proceedings against the Alle
gheny Bank looking to a forfeiture of its char
ter, under the Banking Law of 1860. Mr.
Lauffman it appears, presented $5O in bills of
the Bank for payment at its counter, and the
Bank refusing to cash them, a petition was filed
in the District Court setting forth the facts,
whereupon the usual citation was ordered to be
issued. The bank will have to make answer
on Friday, and then if, after hearing the entire
facts of the case, the Court is of opinion I that
the respondents refused, as petitioner states,
to redeem their bills, the Bank will be ordered
into liquidation. We believe this is the first
case of the kind that has occurred since the
present suspension, and the issue, be it what it
may, will be looked for with interest.
GAS BILLS AND METERS.—A panel of jurors
in the Common Pleas have testified, within a
day, their non-reliance upon the meters used
by the Philadelphia Gas Works, to guide the
officers in making out their bills. Barney &
Brother, a firm doing business in this city, had
presented to them• a bill for $59.63, for gas
consumed during the quarter ending May 12,
1860. As the previous bill had been but $4,05,
Messrs. Barney & Brother declined to pay, and
as the Trustees insisted upon the reliability of
the meter, the City Solicitor commenced suit
against the defaulting gentlemen, and 'the
action was tried on Wednesday, and the jury,
throwing aside the evidence of the general cor
rectness of the meter, found a verdict for the
city of $5.-Phil. Ledger, April 5.
RESOLUTIONS OE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.—A
large meeting of the Mozart Hall Democrats
was held in New York on Thursday night,
when a series of resolutions were adopted de
nunciatory of Republican misrule, and expres
sive of opposition to every form of menace,
restraint or coercion, under whatever pretext
of enforcing law, or collecting revenue, or
retaking property, which may lead to a conflict
with the seceded States. The resolutions ex
press the approval of the meeting of a border
State convention, to be held at Frankfort, with
confident reliance upon the justice of their
proceedings, and anticipate that their claims
will meet with a ready response at the North.
A diabolical association of criminals of the
darkest dye, having divisions in . Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio, has been discovered by
the spirited exertions of the Chicago detectives.
Murkier, robbery, and counterfeiting have
already been traced to the gang. By the for
tunate interception of a letter by the post
master, at Pittsburg, Pa., dated Galion, March
21st, a horrible plot to blow up the track of the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad,
and throw the mail train and freight train olf
the track, has been brought to light. A large
haul of State's prison candidates is likely to
succeed the discovery of the plot.
SPEECH OF SENATOR BREOHINRIDGE.—On the
2d instant the Hon. John C. Breckinridge ad
dressed the members of the Kentucky Legisla
ture for about two hours. He favored a Bor
der State Convention, with the Crittenden
amendments as an ultimatum, and intimated
that if the seceded States will not come back,
even upon these terms, the only appropriate
anti safe resting place of the border States is
in the bosom of the Southern Confederacy.
The bill for the election of delegates to the
Border State Convention, which had previously
passed the House, was passed in the Senate
after the delivery of the speech.
HEADING OFF A CHARGE or WIFE Fs:MORINO.
A young German in Jersey City, whose wife is
in the habit of using morphine for some pur
pose to him unknown, has laid the matter
before the authorities, fearing, in case she
should take an overdose he might be' charged
with poisoning her. He says he has applied
to the different druggists, urging them not to
sell her the article ; but one of them has re
fused to comply with his request and still sup
plies her.
THE Talons OF TRADE.—Kerosene oil, which
in its pure state is not explosive, has recently,
it. is alleged, been adulterated by dealers with
camphene and other cheap substances, making
it very explosive. Several accidents have re
cently happened in consequence, causing injury
and even death. The effect of such unscrupu
lous conduct in dealers will be to discredit
kerosene, and cause its disuse by any person
who has a regard for his life.
EFFECTS OF BAD WRITING.—It is stated that
Mr. A. B. Dickinson, of New York, the newly
appointed minister to Nicaragua, was an appli
