Their surprise at the turn things were taking communicated itself to their neighbors, and at last the silenco was almost painful. Then Wil liam Allen spoke—spoke in that great, deep, full tone which was afterward heard and became famous all over the nation. Surprised, delighted, almost electrified, that Ohio crowd listened to him. For more than two hours he riv eted their attention. Murphy and his petty attack were never once alluded to. The young speaker confined him- solf entirely to the great publio ques tions which wore then agitating the popular mind, and displayed so keen an appreciation of the necessities of the situation, such a grasp of his subject, and such familiarity with all its details, that when he had finished the old men who had keen appealed to by Murphy were the first to press forward, offer their congratulations and pledge their support. His triumph was complete. The fame of his performance spread all over the district, and at the election held a few days afterward he was elected to Congress by just one majority in a total poll of nearly 10,000 votes. Murphy received only fifty-four votes in the entire district, and in Chillicothe, where he lived, only odo—his own.” The Interest of the United States in the Panama Canal. The following, from the Louisville Courier-Journal, shows something of the oharacter and spirit of the late ex- Gov. William Allen, of Ohio, and how he commenced his career as a politi cian in 1832: The Jackson men in his district ap preciating his talents, put him up as a candidate for Congress. The district was largely Whig, but he went into the canvass with hie usual indomitable en ergy, and was the first to introduce what is now known as stump speaking in Ohio. He also sought the voters personally, and talked with them in his earnest and persuasive way. His ex perience in that campaign is thus re lated by the New York Times corre spondent, who obtained the facts from Mr. Allen himself. He says: ‘‘One evening while he waB engaged in this work word came to him that Murphy was announced to speak the next morn ing [at Jackson Court-house, twenty miles away, and that he had promised (o make a personal attack upon Allen. The young candidate, although worn out with the work of the day, without a moment’s hesitation decided that he would push on to Jaoksou Court-house. A number of his supporters supplied him with a slow-going but sure footed horse. Three of them volunteered to act as his guides through the thiok woods which lay in his path, and in their company he sot out. The night was a terrible one, rain fell in torrents, and thero was much danger from swol len creeks and fallen trees. Still the brave little company pressed on, and arrived at the Court-house in time for breakfast. They found half tho county there. The Judges, who were friendly to Murphy, had agreed to adjourn court to give him a hearing, and hundreds of leading whigs were present to listen to he attack which was to be made on the Jackson candidate. When the Meeting was called to order, Allen, who m the meantime had rested and re- took a modest seat of the crowd, and quietly awaited disclosures. He had not long to wait. w as soon introduced, and with at eloquence and a great power of dicule, °f whioh he was an acknowl- ,iJ, “hater, held his opponent up to f of the audience.

Ho endeavored to explain to the meet ing that the difficulties of the work were not so formidable as those which had to be overcome in the construction of tbo Suez canal, as a railroad already runs along the course of the proposed Panama canal, with large towns at each extremity. M. de Lesseps has just signed the treaty giving him the concession of the isthmus granted by the United States of Columbia. Matters are now to be pushed with the greatest activity. A new company will be immediately con stituted with a capital of 400,000,000f. In a long conversation M. de Lesseps this afternoon repudiated all interven tion on the pout of the Government, were such intended. He said that he fully recognized the truth of the state ment that the United States was entitled to exercise a large and important influ ence in the management of the canal. He declared that the enterprise had no character of special nationality, but is a private speculation, though universal in its utility. PariB is silently accepted as the center of operations merely be cause the French laws are severe, and offer greater security to shareholders, on account of the greater control over the administrators of the funds. M. de Lesseps remarked during the interview that he proposes to offer Gen. Grant the oosition of honorary President of the company. Le Soir to-night announces that M. de Lesseps will not start for America till tho end of the year. The Seward Case- Washington, July 8.—The report is current that George S. Seward, Minister to China, in view of the renewal of the impeachment proceedings against him, will resign his mission. It is a national disgrace that this man Seward should have the privilege of resigning. He should have been dis missed hang ago. That he _ has been guilty oFtlie gravest official misconduot, to call it by the very mildest name, no one doubts. That he has been saved from the punishment due his offence by Republican influence, is an acknowl edged fact. Yet with a rotten reputa tion at home and abroad, Seward is still retained in office by an adminis tration which professes civil service re form. Cannot Air. Hayes find a Re publican competent for diplomatic ser vice in China ? Is the town pf Fremont depopulated ? Has Ohio got her fill of Fedoral pap ? Is there not a decent negro somewhere to take the place ? Or do Seward’3 “cousins and his sisters and liis sisters and his aunts” prevent exec utive action ? We think we can assure the present Minister to _ China that if he does not resign, and is not turned out before Congrrss meets, he will be kicked out very soon after,—Missouri Republican. The New Jury Law. Savannah News.] The new law relating to jurors in United States courts makes some very important changes in that business. Heretofore the United States marshals have been able to pack a jury to suit their own ideas of justice, and in the South they have usually picked out Republicans for that service, and a good deal of injustice has consequently been perpetrated. The aot passed by Con gress does away with this partisan fea ture, as well as the obnoxious test oath. The juror's fee is also reduced from three to two dollars a day. The section re lating to the selection of jurors is as fol lows : “Section 2. That the per diem pay of each juror, grand or petit, in any court of the United States shall be two dol lars ; and that all suoh jurors, .grand and petit, including those summoned during the session of the court, shall be publioly drawn from a box containing, at the time of each drawing, the names of not less than three hundred persons, whose names shall have been plaoed therein by the clerk of said oourt and a commissioner, to be appointed by the Judge thereof, which commissioner shall be a citizen of good standing, re siding in the district in whioh such court is held, and a well known mem ber of the principal political party in the district in which the court is held pposing that to whioh the clerk may along, the clerk and commissioner each to place one name in said box alter nately, without reference to party affilia tions until the whole number required shall be placed therein. But nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any Judge from ordering the names of jurors to be drawn from the boxes used by the State authorities in selecting jurors in the highest courts of the State; and no person shall serve os a petit juror more than one term in one year, and all jurors to serve in courts af ter the passage of this act shall be drawn in conformity herewith: Pro vided, That no oitizens possessing all other qualifications which are or may be prescribed by law shall be disquali fied for service as a grand or petit juror in any court of the United StateB on account of race, color or previous con dition of servitude.” We frequently hear of bees creeping into the ears of people, whioh is gener ally attended with great danger and con- sideable pain. A case of this kind was reported to ue last week. A bee entered one of the ears of David Liebeuknecth of Lower Windsor townshin, and although it would occasionally work its way out so far as to be seen, all methods adopted to eject it from its hiding place proved unavailing; finally smoking a cigar was proposed, and by closing the nose and forcing smoke down the throat into the eustachian tubes that connect with the head, it had the desired effect to drive tho troublesome insect out, and thus relieved Mr. Liebenknecht from any further trouble. This is a very simple and certain remedy.

ELLIOTT, Gen’l Supt It is not every day that a pall of the corpse. The Pitts- >all bearer pse. "1 burg (Pa.) Telegraph relates how a wor thy citizen was sick unto death. He fell into a stupor, which lostsd three or four days. He was carefully watched by his wife and one or two ladies. One after noon the attending physician said he could not live through the day, and the sorrowing wife, with a view to having everything in readiness for the end, held a consultation with her friends as to the arrangements for the funeral. The con versation was held at the bedside of the _ man, and in a short time all the details were arranged except the names of those who should be asked to be pall bearers. Three or four young gentle men had been selected, when the wife said, “How would Mr. So-and-so do ?” "Oh, he wonld do nicely, echoed the chorus of friends, “he’s such a nice young man.” There was a sudden movement under the coyerings of the bed, and the dying husband slowly raised himself on one elbow, rubbing his eyes, and said in a weak voice, “No he won’t do. I ain’t going to have that fellow for one of my pall-bearers.” The ladies were astonished at this revival, of the sick man, but the wife laid him back gently on the pillows, and said soothingly; “Never mind, dear, don’t worry, This a matter that need not trouble you. It is a sad duty which we will have to perform after you are of my pall and I never did, ond if you are going to have him I’ll get well, see if I don’t.” Again he fell back in the bed, and be came unconscious, but in a few hours there came a change for the better. To day he walks the streets as hale and healthy as any man •< _ The Prince of WaleB is not stupid himself, but he likes to have stupid fel lows about him as butts. Lord Ayles ford has long served him in. such a ca pacity, and Lord Clonmell, is often put into requisition. The latter is grandson of an Irish Chief Justice, who would not resign his office for lesB than an earldom, which he consequently got. The Prince likes to get up “bear fights” between his butts, and derives a great deal of laughter from them.. After.all, Treat men have done very silly things for diversion. Cromwell used to de light in putting sticky things on Beats. Judging from Republican comments, the South has no right of political sol idity. And yet, says the Bridgeport Farmer, so far as we know, that section is subject to the operation of no condi tions as to political aotion that are not applioablo to other sections. No one would be brazen enough to obieofc to a solid North or a solid New England, and there are no better grounds for ob jecting to Southern solidity than in the oases of other sections of the country.
