One of the life insurance companies, in Hart ford, has in its office an arithmometer, a cal culating machine, recently obtained in Eu rope, and the only one in use in this country.

Gold and Greenback!. From the Sew York Commercial md Financial Cliron do, February 26th. ] _ It is one of tlio anomalies of the firmnrial situation that our merchants cannot forecast the future premium on gold, and at a critical >eriod like the present gold ranges in the mar ket some fifty per cent below where it stood five months ago. Hence the question is anx iously hoard on all sides, will tho price go lower, or will there be a reaction to a higher point? The most conflicting arguments are used on the opposing sides of the controversy. Into these contests we do not need just now to enter. It will better serve the present pur pose to point out some things on which both parties are agreed. And, in tho first place it is on all sides con ceded that there is a normal premium for gold over greenbacks, if we could only discover it, and that this normal or absolute prico is tho point to which the market prico of gold will always tend. So soon as any disturbing forces are removed, which cause temporary aberra tions, this equilibrium will strive to rc-esiab- Rah itself; and gold will rise or fall to its proper level. Secondly, it is agreed that tho ratio between greenbacks and gold is governed by the lesser or greater amount of depreciation of out paper currency. And as depreciation means re- dundeucy, it follows that the range of tho gold premium is higher onr lower according as the volume of tho currency is augmented, and other things being equal, the price of gold .riw sfidfslleaniiisiliug as the current of the circulating matey is greater or less than is de manded for the legitimate wants of business on a specie basis. Thirdly, it is notorious that the volume of the currency has received no decrease of sach a serious nature since September last as to force a foil in gold of fifty, or even thirty or ‘ rent, per cent. Fourthly, tho nausea of the foil in gold being outside of the changes in the volume of the currency, and tho greenback circulation remaining now what it was when gold sold at twenty or thirty per cent above its present level, it follows then that gold was much above its moral level, or else that gold is now much below that level. It is at tiris stoge of the aroumsut that the opposing parties separate. The bears think goUistoohighstfll and that it taodabyita own weight to seek a lower paint The bulla, on the other band, declare that temporary causes have put the premium down, that the Secretary of the Treasury has helped these depressing causes by forcing gold down on the market whan the iroikntrsetrssfly glutted with it, said when there is for the present no ready outlet These vexed questions are so eagerly drscusred as to throw an atmosphere of uncertainty over the whole subject, and are already rendering all parties leas dogmatic and Ism positive. We rate .Ted a few weeks a go to aorne foots which may perhaps, aid in solving the gold am. Theta foots regard the increased ly of the precHma metals, and the effects at increase in raising the nominal level of prices. Without going into a tedious de tail, it is enough to my that, although prior to 1848 the avenge annual yield of the precious metals hod, for three hundred years, been no more than twenty-one minions, the amount since 1848 had been ten times as much, or over two hundred millions. Now a large part of this gold crop of the world is absorbed by the aria, but still it is fair to assume that ten times as much coin has been minted during the last twenty years. It is true that commercial transactions have also multiplcd for which s much larger supply of circulating money would be required. But on the other hand mere has been s displace ment of coin by paper to an immense extent, even in British India, and much more in France and in this country. In view of these facto the question is raised whether ws ought not to expect that this vast increase in the vol ume of the specie currency would produce some depreciation in its relative value. After the disoovrry of America, in 1498, gold declin ed in value; why should not the new discovery of Australian and Californian gold mines since 1848 produce a similar perturbation of values? Such is in brief the argument, and the only reply seems to be that, if it he true, it is brought about for us in a way no human sagacity could foresee; and if we should arrive at specie payments by any such way as is here suggested, we shall add another to the numer ous illustration^ of Mr. Madison's words to Miss Martineau that Providence seemed to have set the American people to do many things which hod always heretofore been held impossible.

AU the fashionable colors w hich wero worn last season are stUl in vogue. Two new colors have been brought out in mU- Unery: tho one caUed capoul, a very light shade of yellowish green; the other is a blend ing of the two colors pink anil tea-rose; bnt whether they wiU win favor or not remains to be soon.

The Cadet Inveitigatlon—More Expul sion,. A Washington dispatch of the 28th of Feb ruary says: The Military Committee held a long yesterday, and took important action on some of the cases before them. It was decided to report a resolution of expulsion in the case of the Hon. John T. Doweeae, member from the Fourth District of North Carolina. Tho facta in this cose, os developed by the oommittee, ore that he sold his naval cadet ship to a Washington boy for *500, the boy testifying to the fact before the committee, and stating that he paid Deweeae that amount of money. Mr. Deweeae or his friends at tempted to evade the responsibility, since the question came np in the House, by retaining the money, but the evidence wu so strong and oonslosiTe that the oommittee have decid ed to close the cue. The resolution, with the testimony, will be presented by Gen. Logan to-morrow, and an effort will be made to pro cure a vote without debate or delay. It is not unlikely that Deweese will admit the tactics of Whittemore, and resign in order to escape ex- pulsion. In WMttemore’s ease, De weese war one of thorn who did not vote on either side. The eases of Golloday of Kentucky, and But ler of Tennessee, are still before the commit tee. There is much conflicting testimony in each ease, bnt the belief is general that reso lutions of expulsion will be presented during the present week. Tram tho 2fation-] The School auction ns It W. The Chicago Tribune calls attention to one possible, and, indeed, we may say, not at all improbable result of the decision of the Su preme Cotut of Cincinnati on the "Bible in soboola" question, which liu been too gener ally overlooked and that is, that the ground taken by the majority of the Cotut most sug gest to the Catholics not only the expediency, bat the propriety, of using the schools to in culcate their views of troth wherever they happen to be in a majority. AU that Judge Storer, for instance, claims for Bible- re&ding as an agency in influencing conduct and character, Catholics claim for religious instruction imparted Ira a priest; and for at tendance at the sacrifice of the mam they claim for more. Now, if it be right for a Protestant majority to sow the seeds of re- Rgious troth u they understand it in the minds of the children of the State, whether parents like it or not, tchy should not a Catholic majority, toy to Balt imore, or Jiao Orleanr, or Xetc York, itSere there is one, in like manner do their dot/, as they understand it, by having the schools opened by religious essreisu of their men; nay, seen have the schools taught by priests or nuns t There is only one answer to this question, and it is an answer which, in a country where there is no state church, is simply ridiculous, and that it is, "My troth is the true troth, while your troth is no troth at alL" We do not re gret the Cincinnati decision, however, u we are satisfied the more tho matter is discussed, the more clearly wiU Protestants perceive the dangers of the path on which they are enter ing in keeping up this discussion at all. Cath olics could hardly do better in defense of their attempts to get separate endowments for their schools here and elsewhere, than print and cir culate Judge Storer's opinion. The gorgeous Golloday, of Kentucky, hu resigned h» seat in the United States House of Representatives. Some inquiries concern ing cadetships touched his sensibilities, and he shpok oil the dost of his feet.

Now, a small pecuniary matter has floored him. We are sorry to lose Golta- day.

GATZXXZS Or THE BZASOX. The Prince brought a littlo flurry of festivity and there have been many large bails, at which the toilettes were magnificent, bnt socially there hu been much less gayety than formerly. The troth is, there are so many more ways of spending money than formerly, that people are growing niggardly of hospitality. The hows and wherefores of ours, absorb nino- tenths of the women; business and. polities, the men. Tho modem styles of dress for women are beautiful; there is no denying that, but they are last becoming a nuisance to these who have anything to do bat study them. A plain, simple dress of rich silk or satin, which would formerly have been elegant enough for tbe most fastidious lady, is put quite out of sight by the numerous end bewildering features of Liberate bell-room or dinner toilette. There is not only the dress but the over skirt and the pannier, and the sash, and the drapery about tho shoulders; and the wonder ful chignon and the trained underskirts, tucked and ruffled, and the ornaments and the antique sleeves and boddices, and, added to ali, tails and flounces of most rare and dainty lace. Where docs it all come from Heaven knows, but such toilettes are universal at every boll id large entertainment, and, in addition to mi, there ore such trifles as gloves, shoes, a irriage, bouquet, supper, and sometimes ten- doll.,r tickets to be provided for, is cosy to think, at a distance, that one be independent, and wear the plain dress without the accessories, but it is extremely diffi cult to fight itjout on that line Yon are with . bnt not of them; yon feel a century be- the oge;you wish you had stayed at home, and determine frantically to get a new dress, a new over-skirt, a new sash, a large pannier and an enormous chignon before yon venture out again.

A writer in Chambers’ Journal not long ago gave a happy explanation of the mysterious term “caterwauling.” Suppose, he says, you very much desired to visit a friend, a female friend, a lovely creature to whom you were paying your addresses; only an immense wall —which yon could not blow down like the Clarkenwell wall, because you had not the Fe nian carelessness of results—intervened be tween you and the beloved object Well,. that is exactly the case with these poor maligned pussies. “Come over the wanr” (feline for wall, just as it is Scotch for worse,) “the waur, the wanr,” cries the imprisoned puss. “ Why don’t you come over the waur? ” “ Spikes, spikes, spikes,” cries Tom, explain ing the nature of the obstruction, whereas we call it “swearing.” We may add mat when the obstacle is hap pily overcome, and Tom and Pussy meet at last at their favorite trysting-place, the lover begins to adjure his beloved in such strains of energetic, irrepressible love that his voice is apt to rise above the subdued tone of a well bred gentleman, and there is not yet an out to what we contemptuously call caterwaul ing. Be it modesty, be it fear, the twe lovers remain at some distance from each other, watching every gesture, oreiy turn of the tail, and looking at each other with the greenest of eyes. At last they lift np their voices and sing a duo which lasts for hours. After they have told each other all they must know before entering npon wed lock, they crawl and creep most cautiously toward each other; but no sooner does Tom come near his flame than she runs and races and skips and vaults to excite the envy of the beat gymnasts. He follows, and being the stronger and swifter, overtakes her soon; bnt alas! his reward is nothing but blows and fierce scratches, and thus they keep up the dangerous and yet delightful game of hide and seek. When poor Tom comes home his nose is bleeding, his ears are torn, his fur helved, and his whole aspect ispiteous in extreme. Bnt such is man! Ho is happy spite of his ill-treatment, and tho fierce quette is perfectly sure die will see him turn ere long to receive his reward. But must not judge hastily, and fancy that caterwauling is poor Pussy’s only vocal pc formance. So far from it, cars voices m very peculiar, and so unusually flexible that many notes approach the tones of the human voice—mysterious sounds which made the cat an object of superstitions veneration in olden times.—Prof. Scheie De Vere, in Harpers Magazine for March. Inune Experiment! on Perpetual Motion, From the Do# Moines State Register. J A Polk county mechanic has in process of construction a machine which he believes will embody perpetual motion. Upon it he has ex pended time and labor sufficient to have cleared a section of prairie and capped it with hand some dwelling and bam improvements. The Knoxville Voter states that one of its sub scribers has been exhausting brain force in the same direction. This experimentalist has oc cupied no less than twenty-five years in per fecting his idea, which is yet incomplete. Twenty years ago, when this problem was the scientific puzzle of the age, it was effectually decided. In simple truth, the theory can never be reduced to practice. There can be no motion perpetually continued without the application of motive force. Perpetual motio eat principle of natural philosophy the resis tance of friction. The nearest approach to the idea is a clock, worked by galvanic action. In the opposite side of the pendulum are located magnetic poles which are alternately attracted and repelled by a small battery. This clock will tick uninterruptedly, while tho current is supplied. Batin three months the batteries require replenishing. The best course onr mechanic and his Knoxville cousin can adopt, is to allow nature to fulfill the execution of its laws without opposition. Tinkering with the obstinate despot will be ineffectual. She will have her way anyhow. The next session of tho General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South is appointed to begin in Memphis on Sunday, May 1st. against the modem spirit of innovation, which considers nothing sacred; and to some extent they are right; It is pretty evident that tho ancient customs and traditions arc not disrc- regarded from any greater] lovo of truth or honesty of simplicity than was possessed by our ancestors, but because our modem rail road existence rides right over old landmarks, and, under tho name of utility and progress, crashes oat the flowers of sentiment and affec tion that formerly grew and flourished by tho wayside. Sentiment! bah! Tho world has been nauseated with an affectation of it; naturally thoy fly now to tho other extremo, and will nono of it BQ>QiO GEAR. In anticipation of weather and roads that will admit of horseback riding, ladies are be ginning to inquire concerning the latest in Hats and habits. The style for habits is a small, close-fitting basque, buttoned nearly to the throat, and finished either as a postillions or with smell lappels, as a coat Long, plain, gored skirt, laid in a double, large bow pleat at the back, and caught np at the sides over a gray cash mere petticoat, braided with black. The sleeres are closely shaped to the arm, tho linen cuffs fastened with large malachite buttons, the dog-skin gloves, completed by a small caff which springs ont slightly over the wrist, and fastened with a patent tirette. Tho moot fashionable material just now is ‘satin-cloth," bnt melton cloth is also very much worn, and is more serviceable, especially for country use; very little trimming is al lowed. The most distinguished habits are olive, green, or marine bine, in color, and they are simply and plainly bound, sailor-fashion, with thick black silk galloon, well pressed down; buttons are small, and either black or covered with the material* The ladies' “high beaver” is decidedly tits vogue in hats. The crown is not very high, however, and the narrow brim is bent most be comingly. A gauze veil is always twisted around it, the ends floating at the back. There ia a variety of styles in felt, but they sink into insignificance before the more stately presence of the beaver. White pique and linen suits promise to be more in vogue than ever this season. The former are trimmed with white Mairealles braid and “Hamburg” ruffling, tbe latter with unbleached Irish gaipnre ana black velvet. A very good method to save trouble ia to mount black velvet upon stiff net, in round square loops and bows, so that they can be transferred readily from one dress to another, or taken off, for convenience of washing. Hamburg ruffling consists of bonds in hand some and durable German isnlarsflrey, which lost almost as Ion" aa pique, and is not expen sive. It trims children's gored pious suite ad mirably, and ia nsed largely for ladies' suite and dresses also: Gabriellee for little children, boys and girls, in linen and pique, are universal. They are a prominent feature of all the famishing estab lishments. Flat, single (Heatings, popularly called “kilt" pleating, has taken the place of raffles to some extent m the making np of alpaeas, mohairs, and spring woolen fabric*. The pleating is sometimes put on the lower skirt to the depth of half a yard, and the upper skirt cut out in large leaves, also covered with pleats above it Bnt this style, though effective because it is novel, is not desirable. It mokes the suit too heavy for comfort, takes a great deal of mate rial, and supplies unlimited comers for the accumulation of dost It will do for those who have many changes, bnt not for the little woman who wants her suit tor every occasion. Plain, high silk dresses ore made very dressy by overskirts of white organdie muslin, to which bretclles are added. Well cut and trim med with three ruffles they can bo bought for *15 ready-made, made at home they coat SC, muslin of finer quality than those reiidy-made, and some left over. A full sash and ahonl dor-knote the color of the dress complete the toilette. The combination of block and white is more distigue than ever. It is almost the only con trast that is permitted, the finest toilettes show ing a remarkable uniformity, or only the difference of certain shades of the same color. The present white muslin dresses and over skirts are trimmed with ruffles edged with black velvet and Valenciennes lace, and tho richest black silk toilettes obtain a new and striking effect from over-skirts of white crape or white satin, bordered with rich crimped fringe and single nlaitings of the same material laid flat npon the trimmed skirts. With the present style of dress, a black or white lace shawl is so useful as to bo almost gauze, were made in Lyons for a house in thte city, and cannot be duplicated even in Paris. I There is only one drees pattern of each color and design. The price of tbe satin is $150,1 and the drees of chambery gauze $65, which is moderate, considering their beauty and rarity. Pure mohairs and alpacas are about os ser viceable as any fabrics for early spring suits; but there is a growing tendency in favor of the line cashmere cloths which sro so much worn abroad. Some of the prettiest of the new spring sails are made with a silk skirt, walk ing length, and cashmere over-skirt snd man- det or sailor jacket The skirt is trimm ed with ruffles or single pleating headed with vel vet; the over-skirt and mantelet with fringe of tho same shade headed by aroea-cat band of the silk, piped on the edge. The mantelet is I confined, back and front with a silk sash, short, wide snd bunchy, generally consisting of a square bow, three wide pendant loops, two ends. The new “satin" cloth is a twilled fabric, which looks something like cashmcro: it is firmer, however, has more body, and is a trifle more costly, bnt not more so than very fine cashmere. ’Cashmoro and satin oloth aro newer and softejff and altogether more distinguished than tho Htirgos and crepe Eugenios, which, how ever, aro still employed for snite by persons who ailmiro stiffer and more wiry fabrics. The tendency, however, is to soft and flexible ma- te rials —to those textures which form drapery rather than stand .out in hard and unyiolding DUCli 11—. Prices in standard good.* liavo not declined :<! all jinco last season. For a few weeks du ring the* period of taking stock, as it is called, sonic articles and some styles, undesirable to carry over till another season, might have been bought lower, but the opening of spring busi ness has brought them up to recent figures. It is of much less importance to bay goods cheap, however, than to buy them of best quality, and it is a matter of congratulation tuffittome fabrics have achieved a name and reputation which serves both to identify them .un i a» a guarantee of their excellence. The Buffalo 1 rand of alpaca is one of these, snd the new beaver brand of pare black mohair is an other. This last has a finish equal to silk, and is warranto'l to retain its color. Ladies Bhould bo very careful to lenm tho trad* mark and distinctive appearance of cer tain kinds of goods, ns they are so exceedingly liable otherwise to bo cheated by ignorant or unscrupulous dealers. Tho other day a lady at tbe Vest Bent tho writer a f*ample of a French poplin, which sho had purchased for ' ’Irish" poplin. Tho difference in the cost of French and Irish poplin in Now York is $1 25 per yard. Tho lady had paid half a dollar less per yard than tho regular price of Irish poplin, which is i'2 75, and thonghtshe had got a bar gain. Sho had simply been cheated to tho tune of 75 cent* p. r yard on her goods. A noth* r Jady sentasomple of imitation lace, which she had purchased for Honitonat*3 per yard. Had she known the feet that there is no longer nny such thing as Honiton lace in the market—that it is not manufactured ex cepting as an excellent imitation—she would probably have saved her money. GBIEV UPON THE PBOHENADE. The change that has taken place with regard to mourning is quite remarkable. Much less attention is paid to it than formerly, and of those vho appear to adhere to the old tradi tions very many simply prepares black suit for tbe street and consult their convenience at home. This growing tendency to disregard on old andfosg cherished custom is due pertly no doubt to the sensible, practical spirit of the age, bit it has been greatly aided by the mod ern fiudion which has introduced block toi lettes os ordinai7 occasions. There ia nothing distinctive now about a mourning dress except the crape. Such a thing as a “widow’s” cap is never s«en, and even the long vails have had to succtmb to the exigencies of a bonnet too small to hold them. Young widows wear their hair without ornament, and elderly ladies adopt a small fonchon or Marie Antoinette cap composed of white tisse with lappets and rosettes of tho material as a coiffure. The numerous walking suits of black al paca, cashmere, serge, silk, and other fabrics have left nothing to mourners bat the lime- honored bombazine, which has been super seded by other and more desirable materials, and is not now in demand by persons in mourning or out of it. There are some poisons, however, who would prefer to abate nothing of the severity with v&ich women formerly made outward show of their grief. They still make them- iS’.ves as wretched as possible under thick Icrape snd dull armure, and inveigh bitterly THE FRANKING ABUSE. A Statement from tlic Postmaster General. Vashixoton, Feb. 23. Tbo Fostmastcr General to-day transmitted to the Senate a communication is reply to a resolution of that body requesting information relative to the blank petitions, etc., recently sent from that Department asking tho aboli tion of the franking privilege, and in regard to the transportation of free mini matter. He states that the number of blank petitions sent out was 75,000, and the number of aecompa- aying circulars was 23.000. Th>* total cost of both circulars and petitions was *499 66, which was defrayed by the office of tho Con gressional Printer. No part of the expense was charged against sot fund appropriate! for iht saw thrftnUDM Dt|MB#k ,‘At! petitions and circulars wore prepared under ho direction of tho Fostmaster General in ac cordance with the views expressed by the Pres ident in his late message, and in response to what was believed to be a very general wish of the people that the franking privilege should be abolished. No attempt was made on the part of the Department to inflaence the views of Postmasters respecting abolition of tho privilege. They were simply requested to give citizens who were in &Tor of the measure and opportunity to so express themselves. The Po6tmnster-General states that tho re turns of the transportation of free mail matter are yet too incomplete to furnish tho data called for in the resolution. He submits, how ever, a statement hosed upon such returns as have been received, embracing most of the principal cities. These returns are imperfect n many respects, but exhibit tho following re sults reported from 454 postoffices for the month of January: Number of free lettera sent 666,901; postage thereon at the regular rates, $117,399 73; weight of free printed matter sent, 346,194 pounds; postage thereon at regular rates, $42,334 96. The Postmaster- General says that, considering this exhibit, it is safe to estimate that if foil returns had been received from all the offices for tho month of January the aggregate amount would liavo exceeded $200,000, or at the rate of *2,400,000 per annum. In response to the request to communicate to the Senate the facts on which the (file-1 gations of fraud and abase in the exereise of the franking privilege were founded, in the petitions sent out by the Department, the [Postmaster-General says: It is impossible to give precise information npon that point, owing to the fact that franked matter is always sealed, and the lew dose not authorize the the breaking of a seal for tho purpose of examination; but even tbe compar atively small amount of free matter now re turned to tbe Dead Letter Office discloses many of abuse where books, papers, and circulars not printed by order of Congress, and even btrainees and social circulars, have been transmitted muter cover of a frank. If the facts of each particular ease oonld be as certained, remedies conld be applied, and it would only be necessary to reform the frank ing privilege. Tho system itself most be de nounced because it invites to fraud, with a promise of impunity; and hence I repeat what I have already said, in the language of an other, there is no middle ground between no franking and boundless franking. Although unable to give facts in detail, it is yet notori ous that the frauds which have been perpe trated under cover of the franking privilege have been enormous. Beside the cases men tioned above, which are constantly occurring, I hope I may be permitted, without offense, to state that in times of excited political cam paigns, the various parties do not hesitate to employ it to transmit whatever of printed mat ter They may wish to disseminate. This prac tice has grown into a bod custom which can only he abolished by repealing the privilege under which it finds shelter. The recent agitation for the repeal of the privilege has resulted in a largo increase in the sale of stamp* and stamped envelopes for the month of January, 1870, over the same month in 1869. This gain amounts to *311,332 SO. He then reiterated views in favor of the imme diate and total repeal of tho franking privilege. In his judgment no system can be devised con sistent with tho rights snd interests of tho people that con tolerate its longer continuance. The Postmaster-General then contrasts tho postal revenue of Great Britain at the two-oent rate, and without the franking privilege, with the three-eent rate of the United States with the franking privilege, showing a much huger relative revenue is derived by the former Gov-i eminent. He elpses as follows: “I believe sincerely that the time has come to attempt such reform as will make our postal A Dcath-Bcrl Marring*,-. From th* Lebanon (0.)

In a recent number of the Knoxville Whig we find this card from Senator Brownlow: I 'am in favor of setting aside the present State Government of Tennessee, and the do ings of the State Convention and the present legislature, and of the appointment of a mili tary Governor backed np by national troops, who will put a stop to the wholsale murder of white aud colored Unionists throughout the State.

That Congress will do this I have no sort of a doubt If Governor Senter is the man I take him to be, he will call npon the President for troops to suppress these masked assassins who are acting lor worse than they ever did at any time when I called ont the State militia to suppress them. And before this matter is done with, I can say to the party which has fradulently usurped the Government of the State, that they will be sick of their refusal to adopt the XVth Amend ment—of their wicked legislation—of their de struction of the able and patriotic judiciary of _ the State, and of the various enactments in- will have something to say, always assuming tended to disfranchise the colored man.
