Concurrent Resolution received at Department of
State, June 16, 1866.
JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT
TO THE CONSTITUTION OP THE UNITED
STATES.
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States of America,
in Congress assembled, (two-thirds of both
Houses concurring,) That the following article
be proposed to the Legislatures of the several
States as an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, when ratified by tliree
tourths of said Legislatures, shall be valid as
part of tlie Constitution, namely :
Sec. 1. All persons horn or naturalized
within the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens thereof, and of
\lie States wherein they reside, and no State
shall make or enforce any laws which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of the citi
zens of the United States, nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law, nor deny to any
person, within its jurisdiction, tlie equal pro
tection of its laws.
Sec. 2. Representatives shall I e apportion
ed among the several States according to their
respective number, counting the whole number
of persons, excepting tlie Indians not taxed.
Rut whenever tlie right to vote at an election,
for electors of President and Vice-President of
the United States and United States Representa
tives in Congress, Executive and Judicial offi
cers, and the members of die Legislatures
thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabi
tants of such States being twenty-one years of
age, and citizens of the United States, or in any
way abridge, except for participation in the re
bellion or other crime, the basis of representa
tion in these States shall be reduced, in the

citizens shall hear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years of age in such States.
See. !i. No person shall be Senator or Repre
sentative in Congress, or elector of President or

United States, or as a member of any State
Legislature, or as an Executive or Judicial offi
cer ot any Slate to support the Constitution of

void.
See. 5. The Congress shall have power to cn
loree, by appropriate legislation, tlie provisions
of this act.
Bgbuvler Colfax,
Speaker of tlie House of Representatives.
Lafayette Foster,
President of the Senate jrru tern.
Attest;
Edward McPherson,
Clerk House of Representatives.
J. W. Forney,
Secretary of the Senate.
The first objection to this thing is one that
•iocs at once to its essenee. It is denied that it
is, in the parliamentary or legal sense of that
word, a Resolution at ali. By the third para
graph of the seventh section of the first article
of the Federal Constitution it is declared
that :
“ Every order, resolution, or vote, to which the
concurrence of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives may be necessary (except on a question
of adjournment) shall be presented to the Presi
dent of the United States ; and, before the same
shall take effect, shall be approved by hint, or
being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by
two thirds of the Senate and House of Represen
tatives, according to the rule* and limitations pre
scribed in the case of a bill.”
Now this is not only expressly stated to be a
“ Resolution ,” but one wherein two thirds of
both Houses are set forth as “ concurring.” The
exact words of the Constitution are used and
so used as to render the approval of the Presi
dent necessary “ before the same shall take ef
fect.” That approval has not only not been given
but, in his message on this subject it was plain
ly jutimated by Mr. Johnson that he would
not have givflu it had the resolution—as re
quired by the Constitution—been “ presented”
to him.
The second objection is one that in like man
ner, goes also to the essence. The fifth article
of the Federal Constitution requires to the
validity of any resolution proposing a constitu
tional amendment, the observance of two pre
requisite forms—First that “ two-thirds of both
Houses” concur in such proposal and, Secondly,
“ that no State without its consent shall be de
prived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”
Neither of these conditions are in this matter
complied wilh. “ Two thirds of both Houses”
did not concur, hut only two thirds of portions
of either House, and as to the negation of States
there were at the time of this pretended resolv
" ing eleven separate and district States deprived,
without their consent, of their equal suffrage in
the Senate.
Referring to this poiyt, President Johnson
says that he waives “ the question as to the eon-y
stitutional validity of the proceedings of Congress
■upon the joint resolution proposing the amend
ment,|” and in so waiving wc cannot but think
he lias lost a magnificent opportunity ot bring
ing the great issue before the country to a prac
tical determination at the hands of the People.
Mr. Johnson’s oath of office binds him, as
President of the United States, to the best
of his ability, “to preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution of the United States," and if he
believes the action of any man or men whom
soever to be unconstitutional it is his duty to
protect that Constitution against the efforts
of any such person or persons. Since this thing
will inevitably meet an overwhelming defeat,
it may have been politic to shun the issue,
but in the long run it will appear that
principle had better have been 6tuck to
and the whole string of absurdity gone forth
with the brand of a direct exefcutive condem
nation, in official form, upon it. What, for in
stance, woultrbe thought of Mr. Johnson did
he permit any bill passed by Congress and
whereto his assent was lacking, to be put into
lorce as law, and yet, simply changing the
words wc have here, for a law, a resolution
which, utterly and entirely in opposition to the
letter and the spirit of the Federal Constitu
tion, is permitted to have as full an effect as
though it were entirely in accord with every
prescribed form of the Fundamental Law.
But if there be dodgißg anywhere we trust
the press will at least give this imposition no
unfaltering verdict of entire condemnation, en
dorsing, if it will, our own humble assertion
that this so called Constitutional Amendment
is indeed no amendment —is not worth, in its
legal validity, the paper whereon it is written—
and should be treated by every American legis
lature that cleaves to the Federal Constitution
as so absolutely void as not to be entitled to
the first word of legislative discussion.
And with this, for- the present, the matter
may be left, though there arc other and very
g*ive causes of objection to this most impu
dent illegality that is sought to be foisted on
tlie American People. As said above, His Ex
cellency, Governor Jenkins, has doubtless by
this time received the circular letter of Secre
tary Seward for Georgia, and it may not im
possibly be the ease that a special session of
our General Assembly may be called to take the
matter under advisement. Should such be tlie
ease there is something further to be said, but
for the present, enough of the “ Constitutional
Amendment.”
- . • James Stephens.
Startling Reports From Ireland About the “Cen
tral Organizer"—What is Stephens' Real
Character ?
The annexed letter, from one of the ieudmg
men of the Fenian organization in Ireland, was
received by a gentleman in New York, by tlie
last mail. From its tenor it would seem that
“ C. O. I. R.” Stephens is in greater danger of
being repudiated by the men in Ireland, in
whose name he pretends to speak, than he is of
failing to achieve his mission in America—the
raising of “more money
Dublin, June 7,1866.
Dear Sir : I perceive, from recent accounts
from America, that James Stephens, our Head
Centre, had reached New York, and had an
audience with John O’Mahony. Also that
Janies Stephens addressed various assemblages
from his hotel windows, as well as a mass-meet
ing at Jones’ Wood, and another in Brooklyn.
I admire tlie upright spirit of President Roberts,
in not participating in the acts of Stephens, till
his character should be better known to our
brothers in America. Tlie truth is always un
welcome, more especially when it unfolds any
thing not agreeable; hut this time (unfor
tunately for our cause) General Sweeney spoke
correctly when lie denounced James Stephens
as a “British Spy,” and the following filets will
corroborate tlie General’s statement, besides
other facts which for good reasons, cannot now
lie made public, relative to the banishment of
Stephens from all control of the organization in
Ireland:
At Jones’ Wood, and elsewhere, Stephens
endeavored to clear up all about his escape
from one prison, but did he explain to the sat
isfaction of our brothers in America how it
was that, were it not for his getting himself
out of prison when he did all the other prison
ers were to have been liberated likewise, and
that they never would have been brought to
trial but for his selfish treachery ? He endeav
ored to show that lie got himsell arrested to
prove how lie could get out of prison. Again,
knowing all this, why did he keep Kikliam,
Brophy and Duffy in his house to be arrested
with him? Ami if lie could leave prison at his
pleasure, why did he leave them behind him,
in the next cell to where he’ was confined V
Does lie even once explain why he got those
men arrested, confined and convicted (all hut
one, who got out on bail on the plea oi ill
health, and who still awaits trial sine die) V
Again, does he say one word about the nmnhcr
of our best men who were convicted on his
account, or the hundreds of men who are iu
jail throughout the country under the suspen
sion of tlie habeas carpus act ?
It was looked on as most dishonorable to
plead guilty at any of the trials during tlie
Special Commission; and not one person
pleaded guilty but Stephens' own brother-in-law,
George Hopper; and, though as guilty as
O’Leary, or Luby, or O’Donnovan (Rossa), he
got only two years confinement, while the
others got twenty years, and O’Donnovan Ros
sa his life.
Would Stephens he so good as to explain
why his lather-in-law, John Hopper, and his
brother-in-law (a brother of the aforesaid Geo.
Hopper,) were not arrested, though it was well
known that they were prominent Fenians ?
They are still at large, though men less culpa
ble are in prison under the suspension ol the
habeas corpus.
Will Stephens, also, he so good as to explain
what brought him, on more than one occasion,
to Dublin Castle, where (I have it on most reli
able authority,) lie has been ?
Our organization, in truth, is dispirited and
broken up here, and I have lost all hopes of its
being ever put in working order again in con
sequence of the tacts which have come to light
regarding tlie malfeasance of Stephens, which,
probably, 1 will let you know of at another
time, but enough remains to be said, that every
honest man should banish and brand Stephens
as a traitor to the cause, and I am happy to
hear that one man—-General Sweeney—can sec
through the character of our defunct Head Cen
ter, for he is tlie death of tlie cause here, and is
dead to its advancement, as far as himself is
concerned.
I enclose my name, tint not for publication,
ami remain,
ypnrs, fraternally.

Extraordinory Speech of Head Centro Sta
veuf;—Roberts and Sweeny Double-Dyed
Traitors,
Oil Tuesday evening, Mr. Stephens,ihe Head
Centre of the Irish Fenian movement, was
serenaded at his quarters at the Metropolitan
Hotel, in Washington, and responded, accord
ing to the Republican of that city, in the lollow
ing language:
Fellow-Countrymen : I (hank you, amt
most cordially, for the compliment conveyed
through me, by means of this beautiful serenade
to (fear old Ireland. It occurs to me that 1
miglft now throw aside all considerations of
delicacy, and speak in unmistakable terms con
cerning the dOfible-dyed traitors who are ruin
ing the cause we hold nearest our hearts.
I say, and mark the import of iny words,
that all Irishmen, lie they whom they may, who
are throwing obstacles iu the direct way to
our country’s liberation, are traitors, and are
tins hour abhorred, despised, execrated by the
men In Ireland, and they dare not for their
lives sake pjapp a foot on the soil over which
the green flag should now in triumph be
waving. The men who “now propose tri sell
the Irish vote of this country to political dema
gogues are traitors, and I here denounce them
by name—Roberts, General Sweeny, and the
whole set called tlie Senate.
If is time to speak out in plain language, and
I will dp it now, hereafter, and forever, In
voice and through the means of the press. I
say they are traitors io the cqtise of Ireland,
and let them so he looked upon, by not only
Irishmen, but alj Americans who sympathize
with struggling freemen. Again I thank you,
mv countrymen, for the compliment you have
paid me in listening so patiently, hut again I
ask you to liced my admonition, to be distrust
ful of the Senate party—the heroes of Campo
hello, Canada, and I may soon have to add
Mexico. *
Mr, Stephens’ speech was received with en
thusiasm,
(From the ftichiilOlJt) Tiipes.
The Pharisees.
A few Fenians, during their recent hurried
trip to Canada, robbed and insulted some of
the women and children whom they met while
on the war path. Doubtless these Fenians had
learned such warlike amoipplishments as sol
diers under Sheridan, Kilpatrick, or even
Spears, who seems to like this business so well
that he still continues at it. Whatever may be
the facts as to the previous education of these
warriors, the correspondents of several of the
New York papers strongly condemn this con
duct of the Fenians. Some of tJj.e.S.e Mine
Radical correspondents accompanied the Fed
eral armies for four years in the South, and wit
nessed daily robberies of women and children
in a far more aggravated form than anything
the Fenians did towards the Canadians; yet
never a word of reproof or remonstrance did
they utter ? Nay, they systematically and scru
pulously concealed the damning facts, which
will put a blush upon the Northern cheek that
is not utterly lost to shame for centuries to
come.
A few weeks ago a Spanish Admiral bom
barded Valparaiso, a defenceless seaport city of
Chili. The civilized world was unanimous in
stern and indignant rebuke of the wanton and
cowardly act; pDr was denunciation of the
barbarity louder or morn vehement anywhere
than among the Radical press. Did they recall
to mind how many unfortified towns and cities
in the Soptli were shelled, and how just and
righteous this action was always regarded ?
Why, there was a uaviti commander yon the
Rappahannock at one time who-used to amuse
himself by firing sixty-eight pound shot and
shell at farm houses along the river, and on one
occasion he either seriously wounded or fright
ened to death, in her bed, oil old lady, (Mrs.
Gresham,) about sunrise, ip the county of Lan
caster, by the use of these gigantic missiles !
Did any one ever bear dt the Radical press find
ing fault with these deeds ? On the contrary,
the men who committed them were exalted to
the dignity and fame of heroes. Was the whole
sale plunder and appropriation of private
property by officers and soldiers ever con
demned?
We once saw a letter, picked up on the battle
field, written by a Northern wife to her hus
band, an officer in the Federal army, asking
him to take and send her some of the jewelry
of “ rebel women,” as “ other officers npd sol
diers had been doing for their wives and female
friends in their town.” These are facts; yet
they were never discountenanced and con
demned by that very Radical press which has
lately been much exercised about the “ robbe
ries” committed by the Fenians, and the un
civilized warfare conducted by Spain. They
bad better hold their peace, and let people with,
clean skirts condemn these things.
The Constitution of the States of North
Carolina requires a property qualification of
$7,500, and a residence of five years to make a
person eligible to the office of Governor. A
proposition was made at the recent session of
the State Convention to modify this provision,
but it was lost by a decided majority.
Baltimore is estimated to have a population
ol 300,000 at least. In 1860 it was 213,418, In

the number of residents by a recent census is
shown to be 12,952.

THE EFFECT ON COMMERCE.
[From the London Globe, June 6.
Tlie bearing upon commercial interests of a
war iu which Great Britain is not engaged, be
cofties substantially conspicuous in the falling
price of funds and securities; hut tlie influences
at york which such results are derived
are of a complex nature. Tlie x>resent
low price of Consols is by no means wholly at
tributable to apprehensions of war. The com
petition of other investments and the scarcity
of loanable Capital for two years or more past
have gone much further to make £IOO in the
Three per Cents worth only £BS or £B6 in cash.
The need of realizing under extremejpressure,
which has been felt in London during the last
four weeks, has operated still more forcibly;
and though tlie state of Continental affairs may
have had something to do in bringing tilings to
a crisis in the city, we can at most only charge
the three threatening belligerents with having
raised tlie last breath which blew down the
tower of cards. Nevertheless, in part, the de
preciation of stocks and produce does proceed
directly from the insecurity of peace in Eu
rope. There is a coincidence of circumstances
which proves thus much. The greater the dan
ger of war, the lower the quotations on the
London Exchange; tlie better tlie hopes of
peace, the higher the quotations.
Except for an incident in the existing com
plication to which we shall presently refer, it
would .hardly be worth while to investigate the
causes of so natural a decline iu the value of in
vestments. When a country goes to war it
needs more loanable capital, tliat is, capital un
invested and capable of passing freely from
hand to baud, than when it is at peace. Sol
diers cannot be paid in scrip, and even contract
ors cannot supply uniforms, provisions or
storage in exchange for nothing better thau
certificates of debt. Money expended in this
way do?.s not so quickly return to its usual
channels as if it were circulating under the nor
mal condition of trade. Belligerents, therefore,
must provide themselves with gold, or its sub
stitute, at the expense of other property. Thus
tlie forced loan in Yenetia, though a small
aflair, will drive stocks and shares upon the
market; it will increase the number aud weight
of sellers, and diminish the number and weight
of buyers. These results cannot be localized.
If an English capitalist can buy, say Lombardo-
Venetian railway shares, cheap at Trieste or
Milan, clearly he will not buy dear in Londou
or Paris. But the forced loan in Veuetia is no
thing in comparison to what may he expected.
Prussia has good credit, can borrow largely on
good terms, and must borrow if she is to keep
half a million of men in the field. Tho pros
pect of sucli an investment already operates to
cheapen other stocks. Austria, also, and Italy
cannot last long without loans, contracted at
however ruinous a sacrifice, while an extension
of the parties to the war might bring forward
tlie Russian, Turkish, French, conceivably even
the English Government, to borrow funds
from private sources. All possibilities are dis
counted, and no wonder stocks in general feel
the effect.
That effect would indeed have bceu more
marked than it has been hut for tlie interven
tion of a not uncommou disturbing cause. The
actual and potential amount ol saleable securi
ties is augmented, and accordingly tends to lie
depreciated; hut, on the other hand, the pur
chasing power, in the form neatly expressed by
a French writer, as the tantieme monelaire, is
likewise augmented, aud so far tends to prevent
depreciation of securities. Tlie Italian Govern
ment lias issued ten millions sterling in paper
money, and the Austrian Government has is*
sued tlie equivalent of about twelve millions or
more, including the coupons of debt in Vene
tia, which are made receivable for both face
value and interest, In payment ot taxes. Prus
sia has issued loan notes, aud we must pot for
get that England lias released, if not created, a
surplus of banknotes; but tlie Prussian notes
bear interest, and will soon cease to circulate,
being money to the extent of their sane value
only, while we trust the Bank of England is
already resuming its proper position. Neither
do tlie Italian and Austrian issues injure prices
of commodities beyond their own borders near
ly to their full extent. The chief effect in every
case must he felt at home. Iu Austria almost
tlie whole injury will he domestic, because Aus
tria had suspended cash payments long before
hand, and has little metallic money to export.
In Italy part of the ten millions of paper will
he accounted for by export of bullion, and the
rest by premium on gold, that is, discount
on notes. This partial export from Italy will
represent tlie whole increase of the tantieme
monetaire, which can be effective in England
and France. From Italy bullion arrives and
will arrive in Paris, enabling the Bank of France
to work with so low a discount as four per
cent., and thereby relieving England from a
drain wfiicli would otherwise be greater than it
is. Tills contribution of Italy, however, to the
purchasing power appears lo he more than
compensated by the new demands upon it lor
the purposes of war. Prices full inconsequence,
and wc are not astonished at the result.
Field Marshal Benedek, the Austrian
Commander-In-Chief.—Berlin, May 26th. —
Thu military correspondent of the Kolniche Xei
tuny lias lately given some information respect
ing Field-Marshal Benedek, which possesses
considerahle iuierost from the important part
that he will probably play in the approaching
campaign. He says that Benedek is not to be
looked upon with a loving eye by the Austrian
nobility, who regard him as a mere, parvenue. —
Unfortunately, there is no Austrian gsueraj who
was not beaten in 1859, and consequently Bene
dek lias bccoi|ic an unpleasant necessity, in spite
of his want of aristocratic birth. AVhen the
Emperor offered him the command of the army
of the North, he consented to accept it only
under certain conditions. The first of these
was t|iaf it should consist qf at least 800,000 men.
He is reported ta have said that the Prussians
were a dangerous, and for the t ime a more haled
enemy that the Italians and that the. only prop
er plan was to attaek them with such an over
whelming force, and to deal them such colossal
blows, as to crush them in the lirst instance.—
The Prussian needle gun and rifled cannon
would probably occasion the Austrians very
severe losses, but that tlio latter must push on
regardless of any sacrifice of life, however great.
In Italy, on the other hand, Austria should at
first act on the defensive, and only after Prussia
had been thoroughly vanquished, Silesia recon
quered, andlßerlin burned to the ground should
Austria direct her victorious armies to the
south and settle her account with Italy. It
would appear from this that Benedek is a Gen
eral of the school of Gen. Grant. The Emperor
lias agreed to this condition, and the conse
quence the army intended to operate against
Prussia will consist of seven complete army
corps, in addition to a strong cavalry reserve,
whereas the Southern army will consist of only
(Jjrec orrny corps, Beuedek’s second condition
must have been a somewhat bitter pill fry an
Imperial Ilapsburg, but it has been swallowed
nevertheless. It was, namely, that no archduke
should be present with the army. None of the
archdukes are regarded as prodigies of military
genius, and they will accordingly do garrison
duty in the fortresses of the South. Ilis third
condition was that he should select all the offi
cers of his staff, which, from his known pro
clivities, is nearly equivalent to the exclusion ol
Germans from such important commissions.

Jefferson Davis in Europe.
In a recent diplomatic correspondence be
tween Mr. Adams, Minister to Europe, and Mr.
Seward, just published, the former, in a letter
dated 15th June, 1865, says :
The intense interest manifested in the fate of
Jefferson Uavis is one of the phenomena of
this remarkable era, and then adds : Carefully
disavowing the Indulgence of the slightest
acrimonious feeling towards Mr. Davis or any
of his associates, I have expressed the hope
that the ends of justice might he satisfied with
the least possible effusion of human blood.—
We have had enough of slaughter and of pub
lic and private misery. Especially had a severe
retribution already been visited upon these mis
guided people, who had by their wanton obsti
nacy brought it all upon the country. If even
Mr. Davis could be disgraced, and then suffered
to siDV; into oblivion. without seriously im
pairing the force of tqe example }p the view
of latter generations, I should be perfectly con
tent.
If Mr. Davis, having, under all the safeguards
of our laws, undergone a trial for his offense,
should be proved guilty, condemned, and sen
tenced to suffer the last penalty, the responsi
bility of interposilioiywoiild then devolve upon
the President. I had no doubt that he would
meet it with the dignity and impartiality that
became his office. Neither was I disposed to
believe that whatever it might he, his decision,
if given in flic manner indicated, would be at
tended by any of the evil consequences to the
reputation of our country all over civilized Eu
rope, which seemed to be a matter of so much
concern to our enemies not less than our
friends.
Mr. Seward, in replying to this letter, says
lie had read with pleasure Mr. Adams’ remarks
upon the question what penalty ought to he
imposed niton Jefferson Davis, which question
is so universally and so earnestly discussed In
Europe. lie adds; (‘Your sentiments arc
deemed just and wise.”
Florida’s Dead. —A correspondent (Mrs.
A. P.) of the Fernandina Courier in writing
from Richmond, concerning the decoration of
the graves of Confederate Soldiers at Hollywood
Cemetery on the 31st nit. says: f, being a
Floridian, naturally sought for the graves of
those from my own loved State. Buried beneath
the wide spreading branches of a stately oak I
found two pretty, white boards, hearing the
name of Maj. Geo. W. Call and Capt. C. A.
Butler, both victims to the bloody “Seven
Pines” fight, May 31st, 1863, just four years ago
to-day. Our dear Slate may well mourn the
lo 88 of two such gallant spirits.
After having the satisfaction of decorating
their graves with irty own hands, in conjunc
tion with other ladies who helped to completely
envelope them with roses and evergreens, I
moved on to the resting places of other Floridi
ans, and found those of Maj. P. B. Bird of the
6th Fla. Bait, —a gallant spirit, and Lieut. Reid,
the chivalrous son of the noble “Florence
Nightingale” of Florida. Others arc buried
there, but owing to the dense crowd, I found it
impossible to reach their graves; but lam
assured that there is not a gravo in the whole
cemetery that has escaped the attention of fair
hands. God bless the noble women of the old
dominion.

to lessen the expense of a voyage from England
to Rio, Ind'a, or China, in the case of jit vessel
of 1,000 tons, by £250, while on a voyage to
Calilornia or Australia and back the savingwonld
be no less than £1,200 or £1,300. And'to the
reduction of expenses must be added the more
important economy of life which has also been
secured by Captain Maury’s researches. I n
these gains no country has shared so largely as
ourselves, with our many colonies and*Vast for
eign trade. The appreciation of such jemark
able services which was shown by the gathering
last night was creditable to all concerned in it;
but it may be asked whether they are sufficient
ly recognised by a and a purse of
3,000 guineas ? More than one tirm< might be
named which has pocketed twice, that sum in a
single year through the nee of Cnpigin Maury’s
charts, and yet the mercantile community was
scarcely represented at all, either in the com
pany or the subscription list. A more remark
able and unfortunate omission was the neglect
of the Government to associate itself witlnJiis
testimonial, or to take any other incur* erf' ex
pressing the great uational obligations under
which we lie to this distinguished man. Russia
Prussia, Austria, France, Denmark, sorwav’
Holland, Portugal, in foci almost every State in
Europe with the exception of ourselfes, has
conferred on hint some public mark of honor j»,
the shape of rank or orders. At the close of
the American civil war, Kussia, .Austria ami
France competed for his services. Ip the'most
flattering terms. From England alone he lias
never received the slightest token of national
gratitude and respect. The Hyilfograplier of
the Navy was the only public official who was
present last evening, ami he represented no
more than the purely scientific branch of the
service. Surely, on such occasion < )n « Q r other
of the ministers—ls only a junior. loiG— might
have had the grace to attend. It is not too late,
however,for the Government to find some other
method of testifying our national sense of Cap
tain Maury’s labors.— Pall Mall Odette.
