The only article of furniture I noticed

appearance was equally squalid, for
want of better accommodation were ly

their nakedness.
I could not refrain from expressing
to member of the committee my dis

Civil Government in Alexandria.
The Alexandria "State Journal" in
forms us that the attempt, which was
made bt some of the residents of that
city, to subvert the civil government
and place the city exclusively in the
bands of the military has failed. .The
petitions asking for the change intima
ted thatthe loyal tax-payers were oppres
sed by the "restored Government of
Virginia," and asked for relief by the in
terference of the military power. The
understanding was that the military gov
ernor would take matters into his own
hands, sanction refusal by the people to
pay any taxes to the civil authority of
the State, and thus ignore the State
Government. The motive of the sign
ers the Journal asserts to have been the
inares Jane rare,. annoy! f,./
taxe . s, andst concludes its review of this
singular movement by showing how it
has ended thus:
"The movement becoming known to
President Lincoln, he addressed a com
munication at once to Gen. Slough, no
tifying him that the military should not
interfere with the civil power except
where military necessity imperatively
demanded it; that the people were no
judges where that necessity should arise;
that it was competent for the military
commander alone to determine that., and
that the sole responsibility would be
upon him. As there is not even the pre
tence of military necessity in this case—
as the State Governmentis heartily co
operating with the General Government
in suppressing the rebellion—the res
ponsibility was a little too great for any
military commander to take upon his
shoulders. So the whole matter drops
to the ground."
.The course pursued in this case is die-
ferent, we think, from what was done
in Norfolk a short time ago. At that
place, we believe, the military comman
der submitted to a direct vote of the peo
ple the question whether or not the mu
nicipal government should be abolished
or suspended; and, in accordance, with
a small vote so taken, the military was
substituted for the civil power.
The Toronto Globe has the following
in relation to the bounty jumpers who
infest that city. Its remarks may prove
of interest to the sneaks who rob the
Government, and for a few hundred dol
lars make themselves outlaws.
There are at present a large number
of young men in the city who have
sought refuge here after having swindled
the American Government out of several
hundred dollars by "jumping the boun
ty;" some of them, it is said, have en
listed several times, and after running
the country, have deserted, thus making
some two or three thousand dollars,with
which ill-gotten money they live last
lives so long as it lasts.
There are so many of these fellows in
the city just now that every one notices
them. They dress in the bight of
American fashion, drive fast livery hor
ses, and make themselves generally as
conspicuous as possible. It a great
pity that men engaged in such swindling
tts those by which these people hve,
cannot reach the punishment which they
so richly deserve.
_While they stay here
they are closely watched by the police
detectives, and are promptly- arrested
on the slightest infraction of the laws
of this country. Already a number of
them have been punished for various of
fenses, and several others, are lying in
goal awaiting their trial at the next as
sizes.

*Tr •
_e
,Te , that aPiffneWre*erse of our arms,
vVeltave been told by the English press
what prodigies of valor a few British
veterans would have performed under
the same circumstances. Our army has
been termed an "undisciplined mob," a
crowd of "raw volunteers, an "army
only in numbers;" and a tlibusand 'oth
er insulting and opprobrious epithets
have been applied to men who have
shown fighting qualities unsurpassed by
any army in the world. The superiori
ty of English tneti,le has been held up to
us again and 'spin as ' Vauntingly as'
when alle,plaimed unquestioned supre
macy-upon the , seti.. It is in vain that
we haVd referted 'them to the past, and
reminded them that it was such troops
as these which discomfited English Vet
erans in two wars. The cheek of John
ny Bull is too hard to blush at suck re
membrance. He claimed that our sol
diers had deteriorated, while his had im
proved. He had a few squads in Cana
da who could utterly rout our whole
army. Three good regiments of the line
would have put down the'rebellion two
years ago. The terrific fighting of the
past year or so has somewhat checked
the scorn which"' before that time had
constantly characterized even the mer
est mention of our army. The - opera
tions of our monitors and siege guns,
and especially the severe rebuke which
they received in the fate of their own
vessel, the Alabama, manned by British
sailors, have exercised a very wholesome
restraint upon the English press. With
in the last few months they have even
beenfbreed reluctantly to admit that our
troops have done some good fighting Mi
ring the present campaign ; not as good
as BritiSh veterans would have done,
but passable for a small country. .
" Your men," said a young Johnny
Bull, whYrode with one of our officers
along Mission Ridge after the battle
there, ".sire good skirmishers,. but they
don't know how to fight like English
troop." Rh *as standing then upon
the ground from which the army of
Bragg had been driven by a charge
which has nO pal : fillet in modern war
fare. He 'did-not not think that a line of
battle—six miles in length, and compris
ing at least 50,000 men, aside from re
serves—rushing upon and carrying a
position made almost impregnable by
nature, and defended by an almost equal
number of the very troops whose brave
ry England has "delighted to honor"—
he could not understand that this was
anything more than a skirmish.
" They don't know how to fight like
English troops," says the all-absorbing
egotism of our pursy relative across the
brine. And pray how do English troops
tight! Let an English Journal answer.
The London Daily News in a letter
which it publishes from New Zealand,
giving an account of the war between
the native Maories and the English
troops, says. " Not only Is the to sus
tained by the British troops undler the
command of General Cameron ratio, se
vere, especially among the officers, but
that loss is embittered by the reflection
that one of the most distinguished regi•
ments in the service fled in confusion be
fore a native and nitdisi iplined army."
This was the Forty-third Infantry,
which, while storming a fort occupied
by the Maories, was seized with a panic
and fled from the field. The sixty
eighth, the supporting regiment, was
also "obliged to retire." The English
lred wounded. The native loss was
less. It wits doubtful whether General
Cameron would continue his operations,
though there was no sign that the war
war near its close.
It seems that "English veterans,"
when bri,ught face to face with even a
savage and undisciplined foe, fight by
"hrealtittg to the rear" upon the "double
quick" giving the looting natives a
chance to inspect the lining of her Ma
jesty's "regulation" coat tails. They
did not storm the "deadly breath" but
they did the next best and plorkiest
thing, they turned their own breeches
to the storm. ,And how many did two
crack regiments of "British veterans"
lose, before making this valorous charge
upon their own camp? One hundred
and thirty-three killed, wounded, and
missing. A compositor is at work
within ten feet of us whose regiment—
never but seven hundred strong—lost
nearly double the nnn'tber at Bull Run,
and then crawled off like a wounded
crab, tail first, to Centerville. Bull Run
Russell said such men were "a disgrace
to the name of soldiers." What then is
her Majesty's Forty-third Infantry?
They have probably conned the lesson
of ,•certain of their own poets," and
"Just give up like saint complete
The arm of flesh end trust the fret.'
STATISTICS OF Jaws.—The Jewish
Record says : " The Wilna Messenger
states that, according to the latest calcu•
lations made, the number of Jews now
amounts to 7,000'000, about one-half of
whom reside in Eucope. Russia con
tains the most, 1,220000 ; next comes
Austria. 853,600; then Prussia, 289,500;
and other countries of Germany togeth
er, 172000. One remarkable fact is,
- that in France, Belgium and England,
where the Jews are entirely emancipa
ted, the number is gradually decreasing,
while in those countries where they are
still subjected to a certain restraint, they
increase. We differ with the writer of
the above. The statistics of France,
Belgium and England prove the contra
ry. In America, where the greatest re
ligious freedom exists, the gradual ad
vance of Judaism, mid the increased
number of members of the Jewish faith
is so self-evident to any observer as to
set aside as untrue the theory advanced
by the writer of the above, that reli
gious freedom is antagonistic to the
progress of Judaism.' "
A NEW self-operating machine for
spinning wool has been invented in
Worcester, which draws the roving
while spinning like a jack, and will make
finer and better yarn than can be spun
on a jack, with a saving of one halt the
cost for labor, enabling the manufactu
rers to spin yarn fifty per cent. cheaper
than they have heretofore done. Pat
ents are to be taken out in this country
and Europe for the invention, and it is
he opinion of experienced manufactu
rers who have examined the operation of
the machine, that it can be made the
best and most economical machine for
spinning wool yet invented.

A couple of subeititute brokers, whose
office is on the dock, near the foot of
Woodward avenue, pounced upon a
rough looking fello'w the other day, tel
ling
.him that they had been on the
watch for him for l some time—that he
was guilty as h-1, and he knew it.
"But," said they, as they drew him into
kgrogery close by, "there is . one way of
getting out of the scrape, and that is to
enlist; otherwise we will have to take
ydu back to the State Prison, sure, as the
evidence of your guilt is positive." The
fellow was so dumbfounded that he
could scarcely speak, and the brokers
were not long in striking a bargain, by
which he was Co go as a substitute,- and
they were to give him a hundred dollars.

On Monday an enrolled man from the
country arrived in this city with a sub•
stitnte, but being unable to get him ex
amined, put up at a hotel on Grand
River street., His business in the city
leaked out, and a gang of roughs, during
the day, went to the hotel and attempted
to take the substitute away by main
farce. Not succeeding is this, they en
deavored to bribe him, which the man
was honest enough to refuse, thus escap
ing being swindled, and in the end he
cot the lull amount of money promised
him, which he would not have got had
he enlisted with the sharpers.
One broker even went so far as to keep
an old soaker for nearly two weeks, un
til his nerves were in a good condition.

For $17,0 he was enlisted, and the brok

t:lm There are gangs stationed near
the different railway depots and ferry
docks, who pounce upon any man who
has the appearance of being a stranger,
and has no friends. These men—and a
number are obtained every day are tak
en to some obscure boarding house,
where they are treated in the most hos
pitable manner, in expectation of g ibe
good time coming, and when that time
arrives they are tut in as a substitute,
and in nine cases out of ten, get about
one third the money they are promised.
. The above cases are bad enough, but
there is another class of brokers that we
desire more patticularly to call attention
to. MLus are extensively engaged in
importing men from Canada, with the
distinct understanding that they will be
enabled to desert at the fir-t favorable
opportunity We overheard a broker
the other day state that he expected
about forty men from different parts of
Canada for substitutes. lie said that he
had recently enlisted one who stated
that he would not enlist unless he could
t.... i.cl i sw s., .a.....ri; Ti,., hr,,lor said he
would aid him to get away.
" Well," said a bystander, •' did you
stirk to your word ! " No," said the
broker. After I got the sub enlisted I
didn't care a tl—n whether he deserted
or not." Thus it will be seen that the
broker told a hart-Nee:l lie to the substi
tute. Such a man would just as anon
enlist a known deserter as not. He
knew that when he was putting the man
in h.- would desert at the first opportu
nity, yet in the face of all this, he enlist
ed the man. One of the first questions
asked by one half of the candidates for
substitutes is, "Will you help me de
