The Iloiiee bill for the establishment of a printing ofllce is liktly to loss the Senate, though there will he an opposition to It. The Senate prefer this plan to the project of tire Senate committee on printing, for the establishment of a printing bureau. This scheme is intended to provide Hie Gov ernment with cheap printing, and to remedy the corruption, fraud and .political abuse here tofore attendaut upon the elective and con- ract systems. \Ye shall put on record our prediction that it will result 'tv. aggravating' every evil complained of in this connection— that it will increase the cost of printing, swell the number of pensioners, whippere-in; and political runners connected with it—aggravate the contention to get and keep control of the business, and, instead of providing' a little out side aid to help along a party organ, it will, if adhered to long enough, be prostituted into a vast i*arty mill for grinding out documents in aid of the political, organisation having con trol of it. Now. if it is complained that Government has been swindled in printing, we should like to know to what other public service the same charge would not he more or less applicable; and will the effort to cure it, by embarking the Government itself in the business, be more •ef fectual than the legitimate effort of die Govern ment to build-ships, which has rcsnllcd hi Uie very common idea that all good ships must be built by contractors and outside the Navy Yards? There need bo jjotliing more mysterious or unintelligible or ambiguous in a printing con tract, than In a contract to furnish the Govern- meat with horseshoes or nails.' The rates'which should ho paid, the amount of work, and the character and price of materials used, are all as easily ascertained in ll*c one case, as ill the other, and there is po more excuse for fraud or overcharging. The fact that they do exist must bo accounted for by tliu carelessness and favorit ism of Congress, and the Government printing otllce is only opening an‘ampler field forjnis- niunageiiK-nt and abuse in these particulars'.

Mr. Everett’s letter, accepting At nomina tion of tho Union Convention,.is much- com- mendei] for tlie plain and wholcspinc truths-it contains in regard to the .political‘situation of this country. - Things must mend or soon be come worse, Tliat our Democratic represeiita- Uve institutions are a failure, is generally, ac knowledged ; but whether it is from vices Jphe- rent in the system, or merely from ifs tempora ry derangement, there may be a doubt . If tho system is destructive of morals, order, manners and peace in this country, it will .ere long be broken up.” We arc rather surprised to read talk like the foregoing in so steady going a print as tlio.Iour-' nal of Commeroe. It is fronj the Washington orrespondetit of thnt.|mpor, dated the 5th. - It s a vjew often heard, liowovt-r, in the course of contitton conversation. It is Useless to deny that there is, throughout the whole ’South, a wide-spread and fast spreading loss of confi dence, not only in "the stability of the Federal. Government,-but also (to a less extent.) in tbe durability of republican institutions. This is but the natural growth, of the long continued and violent sectional anti-slavery' agitation, which every man of serfs© sees' can have but one end, if persisted. in—and that is the de struction of the common -Government. People are wearied out with these, assaults, and long for rest and ppncc. Neither, however, can be ptiK+mscd by disunion. That w]U bring now tumults and new disorders. The price of free government nnd popular liberty must be, in flic nature of things, an eternal conflict of opinion ; aiid if we t:,re of the price, we must ^dispense with the article, and take to monarchy or des potism, which some are willing to do, for the sake of quiet If there was any human method of combining the voice -of the patriotic people of this country upon points essential, this anti- slavery fuss wonhl be crusheil out in n burry. We have an abiding faith in tho practical com mon sense and pntriolism of the people) if it could he brought to bear unitedly upon the subject. The misfortune is-that it is divided, and will not overcome the harriers to union tin dcred a pair at eight dollars; they were sent up by Abe’s orders, to the stationery clerk at the capitol, and Alie drew them as stationery. At the next session be drew another pair of boots in the same manner—they being paid for out of the public money. When he. was leaving for home—quitting Congress forever—lie ordered an extra line pairat mi dou.*bs, and they were boxed up with his hooks, and franked to “Hon. - Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois.” Tho record of this hoot transaction stands thus on the hooks of the-Clerk of the House of Representatives, and in his vouchers in thetreas- ury at Washington: • "Hon. Abraham Lincoln: Three pair of bouts ' . f J5" The idea that “ this government cannot per manently endure half free and half slave,” when members of Congress can provide themselves with boots—nine dollar boots,.—atthc expense of the people, is preposterous. Just think of '* Honest Alic ” li&nns lii-t limits sent un to tbe ^Honest Abe,” having bis boots sent up to the ca|iit:il ; t(i lie drawn out bv him a* “ skdioncty." Just think of the simplicity of the hon'esl man, who taxod thc pebplp to-pay for Iiis bisits when he was ilrawing eight dollars per "'day audmitct age. Tho Democratic National Convention. The Committee of >VrfangcjnenTs, .to whont was^conlldeil the selection,nnd preparation of a suitable place for tlie acconunodation of flic ■Democratic National Convention, held another incetipg Tucsilay afternoon, in Raltimnrc, and determined to accept tlie Maryland Institute building, as its spacious proportirins will ad mit of all tlie requirements of shell a large, body.

But that the true issue is, shall we insist, even to a.dis ruption and defeat of the only national party we have left, upon repealing and undoing ail that we have done for the last ten years, and thrust the subject of shivery back into tho Halls of Congress, with a certainty of defeat and dis- grace there.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON’S LETTER. M'e publish this morning the hotter of Qoy! Johnson to the lAIliany Put riot. Like all writ- ings,’’U exhibits the highest" tokens ofa superior order of stntema'nship. It is a telling) powerful document—^'breathing throughout the true doc trines of pure genuine democracy—and, should he read carefully, *md studicil diligently by (he- entire democracy of Georgia—to what over wing iif the party they may profess to-bylqng. M’e have read it over and over'again—its doctrines are sound, its arguments irresistible,"its conclu sions, accurately correct.. There aro many able democrats in. Georgia— thorougidy liaplized in tlie fountain of pure de mocracy—but Tew, very few, so competent to Communicate their views on paper, in llutCcicaf? forcible conclusive style of Hcsschcl V. Johnson. M’c clip the foregoing front the Atlanta In telligencer, ttf last Friday- It is just. Gnv. Johnson’s letter it unanswerable—its arguments dre irresistible—its conclusions accurately cor rect But how,' then, docs the Intelligencer dissent from them ? How docs he go for a de mand for Congressional Intervention, while the Governor's “correct” conclusion is tlrnt such a demand ought not to he made? DEBASED COIN. New York pipers express some alarm at tint quantity of bogus gold coin afloat, and the in genuity with which the debasing operation Is effected. Tito face and reverse side arc sawed off and a slab of platina inserted lietwcen them, llto edge of tho coin is then plated and re-milled, and the whole, by the tests of weight nnd acids is faultless, while actually $5.55 cents value in gold has been abstracted front an Engle. Considerable amounts of this altered coin arc found 1n the banks, and government vaults, nnd the presump tion is that a great deal more is in circulation. The o|>oration of altering is so delicately per formed that tho experts are puzzled to detect tho bogus coin. NORTHERN OPINION. A well informed friend who has just returned from the M’est. writes us from New York, fitli inst, as follows: “I see there Is quite a difference in your State about the seccdcrs, and the policy of represen tation in Baltimore. I believe it is of vast im portance to the country, that the feuds in the Democratic party should be healed. The Soutli will find Lincoln a strong man in the M’est— He will, in my opinion, if Douglas is the nomi nee, carry the North with a rush. The only chance for the Democratic party is to nominate a conservative man from the South, who will carry the wholo South,- New York, Pennsylva nia, New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Tho interest those States have in the prosperity of the South, will force them to vote for tlie Democratic candidate. Lincoln will carry Illinois. You may put that down as cer tain, lie may lose Michigan, liut not, if Doug las is the candidate. The administration De mocracy will go solid against Douglas." FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. This body met in Quincy on the 4th, and sent their Charleston delegation, with sonto ad ditions, to Richmond, with discretionary power to take steps to reunite the national Democra cy, if they thought proper. The Convention also nominated Col. John Milton, of Jackson, candidate for Governor, and R. It.

Hicks, now linger sentence of death on the 13 th proximo, has made confession of the triple murder on tho Oyster sloop. Tho following is the substance of’it:— There is little doubt but that when Hicks en gaged on that sloop he had determined to pos sess himself of the money which the Captain had, amounting to some $200. He says that between 9 and 10 o’clock at night, when about fifty miles out at sea, ho commenced Ids bloody work. The Captain was sleeping below in the cabin, and one of tlie TVatts boys was also sleep ing below. Hicks and the other Watts were on deck, the latter being on the lookout in tho how. The murderer came up behind the unsuspicious young man, and with some heavy weapon, probably a handspike, dealt him a deadly blow upon the head. His victim fell upon the deck, and was there pounded and beaten until life was extinct ’ ' The noise made on deck in executing tbit: murder alarmed the brother of the murdered man, who was steeping directly beneath tlicir feet, and lie came rushing on deck. "Scarcely Imd his head-appeared above tlie champion batch when, the murderer struck him also upon the head ivith his deadly weapon, and he too fell in sensible to thq jleck. He was then despatched in the same maimer as Ins .brother had been. Captain Burr had not yet been disturbed, but ’was still quietly sleeping in his cabin, Wholly unsuspicious of the bloody scenes that wcre bc- Tug enacted on board his vessel. Iljcks proceed ed immediately to the cabin, where -lie made an assault-iipon Captain jturr. His deadly work was riqt in this instance perfonued in - so sure and>uddcii a manner, The’first blow doult . the "Captain only strved to.aroit.se him-to a sense of hjs danger, and he instantly sprang up and grappled with the as sassin. The. struggle was a long.and terrible one, hut Hicks being anneil, atal the most ests of Christians, cannot forget that slpc is pledged to advance the interests of the Ottoman State.—New Orleans Bulletin.

Obi-don,-who was executed.on Friilay, the first day of June, 1 Sfift, at Abbyville, lYilcox coun ty,-for the murder of Abraham Uyfosc Wliffc lying in jail at'Irwiiivillc awaiting the day of my execution for the murder of Abra ham Pytas, having made confession - to Almigh. ty God- and as I hopefully trust, having been fully and freely pardoned through the. merits of a Saviour’s blood for my connection with that crime. I feel it a duty imposed upftn luc to make public confession of the crime, with the hope that Iht young and rising goneratjOivniay lie benefit ted by it. Xwas born in M'illiaiiisburg’ District, Smith Carolina, on the 8tli day of jime. .1834, and by the death oCmy father was left an.orphan. When a small bov in my earlv life,. I did not receive that religious training tfiat'others more • favorable did, tfUhouglr my niother was ameiii- Lcr of the liaptist Chureli"and often advised nnd instructcil me as to the piojicr course of conduct for me to pursue. At an early age I formed associates with bad ami vicious per- sons,'and contraeUal.tlio habit of intemperance: against the advice of my mother,-and it ha- proved ipy ruin. . In 1 bj.i, my mother moved'to Pulaski "conn-' ly, (jeorgia—my life from that period up to thif commission of that crime, which is soon-to re.-ailt in ending my existence here, was reck less, On the 16tfi day of ‘December last, T was assisting Samuel Nobles in building at house for hi.simother, and while thus engaged, Abraham Pytas passed by where we were at ivorl;. Nobles .projiosed to me that we mur der him and obtain, his money. I aectsled to the proposition and wc immediately pursued him. -I prepared myself with a light wood knot and Xoiikfo, with a pistot- We soon catnc ,up with liiinjndM J got within’ about three paces of him, J threw the ’ light. wood knot, which struck him on tlie head, ami in a was not sutiicicnt to cope with" the murderer and bis formidable, weapons. . Tire bodies were pennifted to lie where they liad fallen; while tlie perpetrator, of this triple murder ransacked the vessel for the paltry sum of hjcijcv whi(h had instigated him to commit the crime, After tho lapse of ail hour or so, the sloop being then well out to Sea, the bodies were tin-own overboard by .Hicks. M’hcn- the vessel was brought back, to this port theri were marks-of blood and-several cutS on the gun- wale'of tho sloop, asjf the murdered’men had grasped there’in tlieir struggle while being thrown overboard, and the murderer had cut their hands and let them, into the sea. This,. Hicks says, was not .t he case, as the bodies lay on ’deck a longtime after Jife was extinct.. On being asked how he felt while alone on the sloop, Jar at sea, at midnight) with his dead victims lying at jiiS -fret, ho replied tluit there were fivo_on board—himself,' thrcc.dcad per sons, and the "devil made the "fifth. Then, he says,. fie folt well euougb;. but now, after hav ing been with liim'all his life, the devil had de serted him and he feels very bad. He had heard that oiie of the bodies had been washed ashore, and asked if that was so. The’keeper told him tlrnt such, was reported to be the foot. 'Hicks replied tliat.bc would not.believe lb for he'iook pains to latary tiierfi far-out at sea,, where there was little prospect of their up- prau ing against him. *. . ‘ -Mcr»bh.—Tbc Dispatth of yesterday even ing says:—A. murder wasTcommitted in. Upson county) on 'Friilay oria'st week,- by a Dr. Chat ham, upon II. C. Howell. It appears that Cftat- ham rode up to the field were Howell was at work, and calling lum aside, after some words, shot him through the heaVt with a pistol. The cause bf the murder was some report said to be .tirculatod by. Howell relative to Chatham’s do mestie relations, • Chatham has absconded, and« reward of fifteen -hundred dollars is offered for his arrest ' merit Nobles fired liis pistol, the ball takin; effect in liis Arm below the elbow.- Pytas commenced screaming and l becoming con scious of our error, lieggcd for lits life, but against all my entreaties, Nobles took up the pine 1,‘uot and finished (jim. Thus ended that brutal murder. On Sabbath evening following myself and sev eral othcTs were arrested by the Sheriff of M'ilcox count jV under, suspicion of the crime*. I confess ed my conijection.with it I was committed to jail in 'Perry, where I remained until the .third Saturday in April, from which place I was ta- klm ami placed upon my trial in AbbyviRc on Tuesday following % nnd twelve of my country 1 men rendered a verdict against me of guilty.-— This action ofthe jury I regard ns -just .inil righteous. Had I acted as others done, I Should never have suffered the penalty of thejaw; and the gallows from which I am soon to launch in to eternity, would have been robbed of Us just victim, for.there was no evidence against me, save my pwn confession. In justici to my coun try, and to acquit niy.own guilty conscience^I could notirefrain from making a-cobfession. _ After -niy sentence I was taken to this place to he kept .until the day of my execution, and ns it approaches,-1 -fori that I can arid dp'tljank God that 1 have no ffars, that death has no ter-; rors. I foci that my merdfol SaviourTlhSpar- doned any sire?, and that.I shall soon bb with him in parstdise. " ' » In concluding tins confession and statement, I wish from the gallows—yes from the grave, to spetik a word of warning to the young. Young man, let me beg you to keep out of b'ad’compa- ny, refrain from strong drink ; these have boon my ruin. Had the advice of my poor heart broken mother been taken by me, tlie hangman would have been dispoilcd of hiXprey. Intein- acrance and evil associations has blasted the topes and happiness of many young men, and broken the hearts and brought tlicir grey hair ed parents with sorrow to tiic grave. Let my fate be a warning. Justice has been meted out to me,*1 am guilty and deserve death. My body I commit to its mother dust, and my soul to the care of a gracious God, who-throbgh his bound less goodness,' I feel has washed it in a Saviour’s blood and cleansed it from* the pollution and protect nronertv charring at "the I doc* all thismean. It looks like there was trea- stains of the blood of a fellow being. Asalast £Jw fl s ^eoosti- sonto Mr Constitutional Union party and its act of justice, I desire m this public way tore- time that tlie true issue was Uio “ const! tntional rights ofthe Sonth in tlie Territories.” Now I think tliat Gov. Cobb misstates Judge 1km-’las’ position on this point If there is anj-- thin- taught in the Harper’s Magazine artide and Judge Douglas’speeches—it is that the South have a right to gointo the territories with their property equally with the North, and are entitled to the same protection no more or less. But wc have nothing to dowitii Judge Doug- candidat. - somewhere? Orit looks as if these turn my sincere thanks to the officer* who have CAPTURED AFRICANS IN KEY WEST. .There were, by last,accounts, 1,780 captur ed. Africans in the " Barra coon” at Key West, the burgocs of three slavers -taken hy-.United States vessels, and. now awaiting the action.of the U. S. govejimicnt for their disposition. These slavers were built in East Boston and all owned in New York and fitted out at North ern ports to take slaves"Jroih the coast of Afri ca to the Island of Cuba. Many .of these slaves are sick, and there Ls great danger Of a pesti- Rnec breaking out among them, iftflng detain ed in tlrnt climate -in their crowded quarters.— Itj is moreover, affirmed that, tlie negroes do not wish to he sent back to Africp, but prefer ta be; the slaves uf white men rather than slaves to barbarians of their own color. Whit’s to be done with them ? If government -insist upon sending all such negroes back to 'Africa and providing, for their maintenance oiie year* after thcir.arrival, the cost in the end is likely to ri val that ofthe Pacific Rail'Road. It will "be an ever recurring, bill of expense. The'Key West correspondents projiose that they" he “apprenticed” for a-tcrm’of years—.their ser vices sold to planters under bond to take'good care of them. M’hy should “free soilism”. ob ject to that? It is the regular Exeter Hall philanthropic and abolition way-hf slave trad ing ami bolding—it is best for tlie ncgrqesand best for the government. .

A TERRIFIC I (AIL STORM. Between eleven nnd twelve o’clock, on M’ed- liesilny night (fith'insk,) last, we Were visited by n mflst terrific hail storm of (tome five- or ten minutes’ duration.

Critical State or Affairs is EcuorF.—The Paris correspondent of the "Boston Traveller writes that “Europe has never been in a more alarming condition than-it is at this hour since the first French Revolution.” In additon to the troubles in Italy, full of peril to the repose of the Continental powers, a serious complica tion of events in . the East is at hand. Louis Napoleon has recently sent a special envoy to Constantinople, while a largo Russian force has actually, advanced to the borders of Turkey. The attitude of Russia towards Turkey was re- 1 puded as decidedly menacing. The St Peters burg Telegraph states thattlie principal foreign ministers, excepting the Turkish, were recently convoked by Prince GorL-chakofl, who declared Editors'want to join the Democratic party.— I had the’earo of me during my imprisonment for that the position ofthe Christians in- Turkey Wh.it else does it mean? ! their kind and humane treatment, and^cspecial- hau become so mtolerable^ that lu»u was on WASHINGTON ITEMS. M’ashington, June 5th.—The Japanese Prin ccs, accompanied by their principal officers, and the naval commission, proceeded to the’ execu tive mansion to-day at noon to take leave of his Excellency. The President received them in the Blue room in company with the Secretary of State and several other gentlemen. The intercourse was cordial and of compara tively long continuance. The President, among other things informed them that he had selec ted for the naval commission several ofthe most gallant officers’of the navy, who, in peace were most kind, but in war wc depend upon them for our defense. He trusted, however, that they would never be required to operate against Ja pan. The distinguished visitors, through their in terpreter, expressed their high appreciation of the President’s address, and, as on a former oc casion, alluded to the handsome reception with which they, have met and of the many kind at tentions bestowed upon them. Tlio President presented to each of the Princes a. largo gold uicdal, bearing his likeness and a suitable in scription, struck at the Ph|ladclpliia mint also a number a beautifully bound illustrated Amer ican books. These were received with evident delight At parting) tlie shaking of hands was mutu ally cordial, and the interview throughout was of a gratifying and pleasant character. There seems’to bo little if any doubt that the House bill for the admission of Kansas into the Union will pass the Senate, whether with or .without amendments is uncertain. Senator Bigler to-day declared that he would vote for the measure without qualification. Tlie two Houses disagreeing on the question of restoring the mail service, a committee of conference lias been appointed, consisting of Senators. Pearce. Yulee and Cameron, andRep- resentatives Colfax, : Washburn of Maine, and Crawford. The President has signed the bill which in creased the pay of the navy officers about 25 pcrcent.- Tite Admission or Kansas.—The vote in tlie Uqitod States Senate, on Tuesday, postponing the bill for th» admissipn of Kansas, is regarded ak a test vote, and indicative of the defeat of the measure for the present session. The vote stood, for postponement ayes 33, nays 27, a strict par ty vote, except that Messrs. Pugh (Ohio) and Latham. (Cal.) voted with the Republicans not to postpone. Messrs. Crittenden,-Douglas, Cljy, Nicholson and Thompson were absent—Messrs. Douglas and.Clay being" paif-ed. Both the Mary land Senators, Messrs. Pearce and Kennedy, voted for the postponement Senna’s Speech.—According to a dispatch in tho Baltimore Sun, Sumner’s miserable di atribe against tho South’was regarded by the Republicans themselves’as more likely to in jure than improve their prospects. M'e think they were right: Washington, June 5.—It lias transpired that the character of Mr. Sumner’s sjieech was known lo Republican Senators previous to its delivery.

M’e have seen the prettiest effects produced by the following means; The hall was papered with oak_ paper, in panels; the wood work, door sash, mouldings, Ac., being grained of a slightly darker shade of oak, and the whole n , Ca l y e? rmshc , d; a geometrically figured oil cloth of three colors; brown, stone color, and white, covered the floor; whilst the furniture consisted simply of two walnut chairs of a Go thic pattern, and a table and hat-iack ofa simi- * lar style. The library was papered, also, with panelled oak; furnished with book-cases of grained walnut, walnut chairs and writing tables and with a carpet of small .Mosaic pattern, in which the brown tint predominated. The di ning room was papered with plain paper, ofthe tint of the falling leaf—or rather, of that color of green which everybody will recognize as pe culiar to the freshly wilted blade of Indian corn —the border being nearly three indies wide, and composed of two colors only; a deep green and a subdued brown. The walls so papered were varnished, to preserve the delicacy of the color and for the purpose of washing them over when they became dusty or fly stained. This work was done four years ago, and although the paper has been washed over every spnnn- it looks as fresh and perfect as when it was first put on. The parlor was also papered with plain, smooth paper, of a light blossom color; toe border being, heavy and of fine contrasting col ors, deep crimson and green. All tho interior wood work was grained to resemble oak, and varnished. Thcjinly exception being the wash boards, which were marbled in imitation of Egyptain black marble.-ftt/ruf Register. Color or Houses.—M'e should recommend the body color of the house to be of a light B cream; the cornices of the house and of the verl andah, and verandah posts and rails, of that tint of brown which is displayed by the newly open ed chestnut; tho styles of tho doors and Yeni- tian shutters two shades darker of the same col or ; and the panels of the doors, and the slatsof the shutters, and vertical slats of the verandah, two shades deeper still With regard to tho fences and out-buildings, they should be of a graver neutral tint, and should, in all cases, be subordinated to the -main dwelling. Another general rule may here be advanced in conclusion; in. the midst of foliage, keep the tone color of tho house, of the Iightiest possible of neutral tints; but when the house is more open and exposed, subdue the tone of color to correspondand make, up for the want of bowering foliage, by deep verandahs.—Rural Register.

MTiitcman, writes to the Tribune, from Clarksville, Texas, com plaining that the Postmaster there refuses to deliver that sheet to him. lie wants informa tion about it The Tribune assures him that just as soon as a Black Republican administra tion gets into power, its circulation in tho South will not be impeded. Which all means, that with an Abolition Postmaster General and Abolition Postmasters throughout the South, incendiary Abolition documents will find ready, access to every village in that section.—JR Y. Dag Book. At a meeting of the Macon Volunteers, on Saturday night, Dr. George G. Griffin was unanimously elected Surgeon of the corps. BRIGHAM YOUNG, Is reported to be in Philadelphia, superin tending the purchase and shipment of the ma chinery for a paper mill. Our exchange de scribes him as follows: * Brigham is a light haired, thick set, medium ! sized, rather round shouldered, shrewd looking man of nearly three score years, and of cheer-, fill and commanding appearance. His prophetic face "is ornamented luxuriously with sandy' brown whiskers and mustache. Brigham is a live speaker. Under his oratory saints or sin ners seldom slide off into mystic drcamlaiHl.— Generally when he sits in meeting,, and some- J times when he is preaching, he wears a hat or 1 handerchief on his head. As ho rises • in the stand a manifest interest is excited, which becomes contagious, and rapidly pervades the whole assembly: while coughs, ahfms’ and va rious shufflings are outward ana vulgar aiid visible signs of awkened attention and prepara tion to hear sometning. His manner is calm, deliberate, self satisfied and confident, with very little gesticulation, except when fired up with his suhject. His voice is far from unpleas ant, not very powerful, but still well capable odiUing-the tabernacle, and is slightly tinged with that hard, inflexible quality common to uncultivated voices, which have been strained by much loud speaking to large assemblies.— His utterance is short and sharp, as though, just-at the instant of their ieaving the door of his lips, he suddenly communicated to his words an extra degree of impulse. This peculiarity-, on passages of more than ordinary energy, con tributes to impaH-to his speech a piercing, cut ting, thrilling effect. His influence over his hearers is extraordinary. Perhaps, in power to attract and rivet the attention of his audi ence) he is. not excelled by any living orator.— This may be partly owing to his peculiar posi tion. Certain it is that the magic of his voice sways a Salt Lake congregation as no other voice can. It is remarkable the dogged patience with which a Mormon audience will sit under the oftimes dry, wordy, threadbare, worn out, long-winded harangues of the small-fry elders, in the hope of at last hearing a spirit stirring word from Brigham.

On Fri day the new chapter on slavery “ for the Dis cipline,” which had been previously adopted, was declared by an overwhelming majority, to be merely advisory in its nature, and not at all statutory; after which the exciting subject was pronounced settled, the chairman, Bishop Mor ris, piously ejaculating—“So let it remain, world without end, amen!” to which wc em phatically add another amen. This means, of course, that the immorality of slavcholding is an open question, and not one of faith in the Methodist Episcopal Church.— Are the Methodists getting afraid of the nigger, or arc they getting commoD sense ?—JTerald. The Japanese have forty distinct varieties of tops, all of them infinitely more amusing than the rude playthings of our boys. It is an at tractive entertainment to see these tops spun. One revolves on the end of tho finger; smother may be lifted while spinning and turned up side down, without losing it3 momentum; a third consists of a nest of little wooden plates which drop apart and rotate on their own re sponsibility; a fourth is a mother top, which, when rapidly revolving, is kissed by infantine tops that instantly go to spinning, too; a ntth spins the length cf a tight cord, from which it manifests no desire to faH. And these arc but a fraction of this one curious sum of mgenu- il Y- .
