Brown or blue paper is better ; the yellowish, smooth India paper is best of all. Silks intended for dross should not bo kept long in the house before they are made wp, as lying in the folds will have a tendency to impair its durability by causing it to cut or split, particularly if the silk has been thickened by gum. Thread lace veils are very easily cut. But dresses of velvet should not be laid by with any weight above them ; if tho nap t f thin silk is laid down, it is not possible to raise it up again. Hard silk should never be wrinkled, because the thread is easily broken in the crease, and it never can bo rectified. The way to take (ho wrinkles out of silk scarfs and handkerchiefs is to moisten the surlace evenly with a sponge ami some weak glue, and Ihtm pin the silk with some toilet pains on a mattress or feather bed. taking pains to draw out the silk as tight ns possible. When dry the wrinkles will have disappeared. The reason of this is obvious to every person. Some silk articles should be moistened and the wrinkles ironed out by a hot flat iron on the wrong side.

The statement was telegraphed from Atlanta, on Monday night, by the ageut of the l’ress Association, that one hundred and eighty negroes marched in a body to Ma» rietta and voted for Gordon. We have the authority of a most reliable gentleman, who was in Marietta on Monday all day, for stating that there is not one word of truth in the report. It was a mere fabrication.— Era. Uonnet* for May. Bonnets have reached their smallest dimensions, and now there is an idea of doing away with them altogether. On the principle that extremes meet, the next thing we may expect is a return to the prepos terous head gear of forty years ago—the tunnel bonnets which, it is said, required a speaking trumpet at one end to reach a woman's ear at the other. The proposed substitute for a bonnet at present, however, is a lace coiffure. The coiffure mantille, which has already made its appearance, is sometimes worn at the opera, and will probably be worn largely at the inland watering places, where bonnets, for the purposes of the promenade, have always been at a discount. The graceful arrangement of the new coiffure mantille depends much upon the taste of the wearer. The prettiest method is to festoon it to the braids with handsome pins, draw it back from one side of the face, and ornament it high on the side, above the light temple, with a large pink rose and buds, leaving the other side free to he drawn over the face as a veil, in the Spanish fashion. The coiffure mantille, which is not at all likely to be anything more than a very ex ceptional caprice, is but the natural develop ment of the mantille bonnet, one of the principal novelties ol this season, the veil of which is a much more important affair than the bonnet itself. This is nothing more than a very small Fanchon of crape or silk, covered with folds of tulle, plain or frosted, with a veil of the tulle attached to tho back, descend ing low and forming in the front a drapery or second strinzs, which are fastened with an ornament similar to those upon tho bonnet. Nearly all the bonnets of the season have lace falls, or a scarf of lace attached, which is carried to the front and forms second strings, the first consisting simply of narrow ties. This has been done to a great extent during the past winter, and forms a gradual addition to the small bonnets, which require some sort of drapery to shorten the apparent length between the chin and the top of tho lietid. » The “baby” bonnet, which is simply com posed of a “cap,” or, as it is sometimes called “soft” crown, and small brim turned back a little from the sides, has had a great success, and is really a very pretty design. The crown is also composed of thin material, and is, sometimes raised in a sort of puff', which is very stylish, aud from which a fall of lace opett in the centre, descends upon the sides of the chignon, and is carried to the front, where the ends form wide lace strings: The brim is generally made of silk, although it may very properly be composed of tha same material as the crown.— Dcmorcst's Monthly.

We have been told by several that threats of discharge have been made against them if they voted the Republican ticket.

Many persona having expressed a desire to obtain a copy of the “Iron clad oath," the taking of which is an indispensablo precedent to occupying any public office, vre republish it as Follows: ‘•1 , of county of and State of——, do solemnly swear or affirm, that I have never voluntarily borne arms against ■ tho United States since I have bccu a citi xen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel or encourage ment to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto ; that l have neither sought nor ac cepted, nor attempted to excrciso the funo ttons of any office whatever, under any authority or pretended authority, in hostility to tho United States ; that I have not yield ed a voluntary support to any pretended government, nuthoritj, power or constitu tion, within tho United States, hostile or inimical thereto. And Ido further swear, or affirm that, to the best of ray knowledge and ability, I will support aud defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true allegiance to the same ; that I take this obligation freely without any men tal reservation or purpose of evasion ; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God, Girls.— A Composition by a Very Small Boy. —l don’t liko girls. Girls is different from what boys is- Girls don’t piny mar bles, and also girls don’t play hookey. I played hookey once and got whipped for it. Girls sometimes get whipped, but not so much as boys ; their clothes ain’t so well suited for it, that is the reason, I suppose. I never see no girls play base ball; they say they do in Boston. There is plenty of girls in Boston and big organs. Last year, when I was young, the teacher used to make me set with the girls because I was naughty. I cried. Big boys like girls better than little boys. I went on a sleigh ride one night with my sister Nancy and Tom Sykes. We were going to New Hart ford ; when wo got un by Pegg’s Tavern, Tom asked me to look in the bottom of his sleigh for his whip; while 1 was looking he fired off a torpedo. I asked him if he had any more torpedoes, and ho said no, but ho fired off another when I wasn’t looking. Girls don’t like to (jave men kiss them. They always say don’t. If they wasn’t fools they would turn their heads the other way, but they never do that. I saw Tom kiss Nancy once, and I told my mother. Then my mother put mo to bed. When a girl takes out her handkerchief in the street and wipes her nose, tho young men who earn their living by standing in front of tho Globe Hotel always wipe their nosos at the same time, if they see her. Girls get married sometimes, but not always. Those that don't get married don’t want to. When they get married they have wedding cake. I like wedding cake; but Ido not see any fun in getting married—especially to a girl. [Advertisement.] Rooil* at a Sacrifice.

There has been no now clement introduced into the cotton question this week: the heavy shipments from Bombay (70,000 bales for the first week in April) are only about wliat was anticipated, and the heavy receipts at our ports have been made at tho expense of the interior towns. Messrs. Easton A Cos., Brokers of this city, telegraphed to the leading interior places last week, and tho total stocks reported was 35,000 bales. Frpm this it is fair to infer wo will have a perpendicular falling off in tho receipts for the week ending the 25th inst. At all events, such is the general impression, and wo doubt if any material advance could be provoked by the receipts in this country for the balance of tho season. As we have stated in previous circulars, there is a serious deficiency in supply, if the present rate of consumption be maintained, and prices must go to a point where spinners will run short time. Many persons predicted that lOd. and a still greater number that 12d. would bo tho checking point, but, although the immense con sumption of January and February has been reduced two or three thousand bales per week, we do not hear of short time as a concerted movement, and private advices report Man cluster well under contract. Tho present con sumption of Great Britain is estimated by one of the best authorities, Mr. Samuel Smith, of Liverpool at 52,000 bales per week. The follow ing table shows sho relation of supply aud con sumption at its present rate. Estimated imp’t from March 2S to Dee. 31, same as last year 2,475,000 hales, Less deficiency now known to bo at sea 126,000 2,352,000 Stuck in port March 2S 391,000 Total supply from March 28 to Dec. : J ,\ 2,743,000 Present rate of consumption, 52,000 bales weekly lor 3V weeks 2,028,000 Average weekly export of 1867, 19,500 bales weekly for 39 weeks 760,500 Deficiency .Jan. 1, 1869.. 45,500 In the above table wo have taken the average weekly export of 1867, and judging from the low stocks in the leading continental ports, there will be a very brisk export demand during tho summer, and last year’s average will be at least maintained. It should also be remembered that tbe available stocks in this country last year at this time were almost donble what they now are. We give tbe above tabic not to prove that Liv erpool will not have a bale on tho first of Janu ary next, but to show that consumption must be stopped by price. Sooner or later that point must bo reached, and a decline must follow. Wo would warn our planter friends against enter taining tbe hope that their next crop will realize present prices, for unless wo have a very unpro pitious scoson wc will have a fair sized crop, and increased Indian exports to be sold in competi tion with it. W(/hear some instances of planters plowing up their corn and putting in cotton instead, but wc trust this will be tho exception and not tho rule, for the experience of three years has proved beyond a preadventuro that no profit can bo made in selling free-labor cotton to buy corn with. As we have urged in previous circulars, 12d sterling will have more effect on the Indian exports than on our own, for it is a well established fact that tho amount of cotton yearly grown in India is about tho same, and the amount exported varies with tho price—if quotations arc high it is shipped : if they are low, the cotton is kept at home. The shipments of Brazil, Egypt, and tho West Indies, will also be stimulated to a marked extent. We mention all those points in support of our theory that every planter should raise more provisions than enough for his own use, and that Cotton should not be made an exclu sive crop. In the present impecunious condi tion of the South, the planter has to sell whether tho price suits him or not, and although Cotton is now worth over 30c., it is only four months ago when it was barely bringing 15c. It is scarcely within tho range of possibility that prices may decline to that point again, but planters should bear the experience of this season in mind in estimating the probable profits of exclusive Cotton culture. To what point Cotton may go between now and another crop it is impossible to say, but it is almost abso lutely certain that 12d. will not bo the current ra'.e next January, unless some unforseon con- I tingencies arise.

Avery large white vote is expected on the last day. Gordon and Bollock are both in town. Savannah, April 22.—The election to day passed off quietly, every species of fraud are practiced by Republican man agers.

A resolution was finally passed allowing unlimited speeches or written arguments by the managers and the defense. The galleries are crowded. Boutwell is about commencing. Unlimited speeches will probably prolong the trial ten days. [SECOND DISPATCH.) Washington, April 22.—1n the Senate, alter a half dozeu propositions had been voted down, the following was adopted: “That so many of the managers and counsel for the President as desire to do so, be per mitted to file arguments or address the Senate orally.” Chase ordered Boutwell to proceed. Boutwell said : The Chief Magistrate of tho principal republic in the world was on trial. Ibe object ol the proceeding was not punishment for offenses, but the safety ol state. The issues between the President and the House of Representatives are technical and limited, viz : whether Johnson violated the Constitution and laws in removiug Secretary Stanton aud appointing Thomas. Boutwell set forth the evils that would probably follow the acknowledgment of the President’s power to remove officers at pleasure, and arguing that the power of Congress should be maintained, and that tho sovereignty rested with the people, who vested it in Congress; whereas the Execu tive and Judicial are denied all discre tionary or implied power. Congress can adopt an administration as to changing the condition of national life, whereas the President is governed by principles which govern a Judge of a court. The President must administer the law as he finds it, without questioning legislative wisdom. The President can make no inquiry regard ing constitutionality, and as a public officer can neither plead nor prove any good mo tives for nullifying the law. The President violated a law. The Senate can enter into no inquiry regarding violated laws and constitutionality. Boutwell denies that the President desired to bring the question before the Court. His pretex fully exposed that his object was to seize the offices of the government, and, by their influence, recon struct the Union in the interest of the rebellious States. No criminal was ever arraigned who offered a more unsatisfactory excuse for his crimes. lie argues Stanton’s suspension and Grant’s appointment was an acknowledgement of the legality of the Tenure of-Ollicc bill, behind which the Presi dent could not go. A subsequent attempt to remove Stautou was unauthorized by the Constitution, and was a violation of the President’s oath of office. This requires a verdict of guilty, under tho first article. Cabinet advice was no excuse ; it was the advice of servants to their master. Boutwell discussed the Constitution and the practice of- removals, closing his argu ment with: None of the predecessors of Mr. Johnson, from Gen. Washington to Mr. Lincoln, ever claimed the power to remove a civil officer, during the session of the Senate, without its consent. Ho claimed that the Act of 1795, even if the right claimed under it is valid, was repealed by the Act of 1863. Boutwell argued the constitutionality of the Tenure 01-Oflice Act, claiming that Johnson was serving Lincoln’s term, and says that the President seems to have been under the influence of a criminal purpose to destroy Grant as well as remove Stanton, and at tempted to carry out his purpose by various and traitorous methods—such as attempting to seduce Sherman and Gen. G. W. Thomas.- General Thomas’ nomination of Ewing was a part of the “old game.” Ewing was seventy nine years old, who would gladly vacate office at any time, leaving it in the hands of Johnson’s tool. There is no reason to suppose that tho present Secretary of the Treasury would not yield to any scheme Johnson might undertake. Regarding the President’s speeches, the House did not arraign the President for slandering Congress, or for any purpose of protection—but that a man uttering such words is unfit for the office. After narrating the President’s recon struction course, Boutwell says: “The House brought this great criminal to your Bar upon the conviction that the country was in peril.” Boutwell concludes : “The House of Repre sentatives have presented this criminal at your bar, with equal confidence in his guilt and in your disposition to administer exact justice between him aud the people of the United States. His conviction is the triumph of law, of order, of justice. Ido not con template his acquittal. It is impossible, therefore 1 do not look beyond. But, Senators, the people of America will never permit an usurping Executive to break down the secu rities for liberty provided by the Constitution. The cause of the country is in your hands. Your verdict of guilty is peace to our beloved land.” Cable Telegrams. Washington, April 22.—The Prince ol Wales has unveiled the statue of Edmund Burke.

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA. DR. RAD WAY la in receipt of an important official docu ment, signed by the Professors of the Medical College of Breslau, Prussia, embodymg the result of an analysis of RAHWAY'S REGULATING PILLS. “ The Faculty of the College state in their report that after a careful and minute examina tion, they have the honor to state that “the pills aro not only freo from every substance injurious to health, but are composed wholly of substances and elements promotive of digestion, and certain at the same time to act favorably upon the nervous system, &c., &c. They stato, further, that the injurious rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothe caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity at tained by the Pills within a very brief period.” Signed on behalf of the College, DR. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNER, Director of the Polytechnic Bureau. DR. HESSE, Pint Aesittant, IHDSCESTION ! In cases where natural evacuations are difficult to secure, and a quiet discharge is essential, take six of Radway’s Pills and pul verize them, —take the pill powder in water or preserves,—in half an hour they will ope rate. We have known the most distressing paius of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma tion, Congestion, &c,, stopped, and the re tained irritating humors expelled from the bowels in thirty minutes by this trertment. It is however, better in chronic cases to take the pills as they are, and let them gradually dissolve in the stomach. These Pills possess in the highest degree cathartic, aperient, tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do do not weaken or debilitate the system or anv of its organs, and will leave the bowels regular and healthy. They purify and equal ize the circulation of the blood. No conges ticn or inflammation will occur while thtj system is under their influence. Price 26 cents per box, or 5 boxes for one dollar.
