CONSTITUTION ALieT. A.TTQ-USTA, O-A. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 2. IF !7. 11. It is the duty of the military authcries in this District to secure to the people the ut most freedom of speech and of the press com st ent with law ; not to restrict either. No ii s fictory execution of the late acts of Congrtm is practicable unless this freedom is secured <■ id its exercise protected by the usual legal m a us. 111. No officer or soldier in this command wiR hereafter interfere with newspaper * or weakens on any pretense whatever. [Gen. Pope’s Order, June or>. “ Freedom of speech and of the press, edu -or Hon equality before the law, and in political rights andprivdeges, are the essentials of any satisfactory reconstruction in the South [Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant. EVEN IN MASSACHUSETTS. Even Massachusetts, the citadel of Puri tanism and home of Sumner, has felt the power of reaction. The fires of intolerance burn less luridly, aud the fierce fever of party animosity has abated. A sober second thought prevails, the harbinger of bet ter days to come, and pleasant token of t ran quillity to a distracted country. A cori es pondent of the Boston Commercial Adv er tiser writes: “The Republican nominations have ben made, the ticket of last year renominated with out change, and nothing remains but to elect it, which, in ordinary times and under ordinary circumstances, would be an easy matter in .Mas sachusetts. It is something new here to ex press a doubt of its success, and yet many well informed men do doubt its success. The t ruth is, a great change is going on, which will ex hibit a portion of its strength at the approach mg election. People are wearied of the everlast.ng ding-dong of the past. The war is over, and has been over for two years. The soldiers v. on the victory, which politicians are doing ail they can to make of no effect. The people w ant union, one and indivisible, and want it now. They want a settled policy and a clear look into the future. This cannot be obtained by talking of the past or threatening the impeachment of the President.” Verily, these are strange words to come from the Old Bay State, and prove that the popular mind is gradually righting itself everywhere—even in Massachusetts. TV hen a State ticket, nominated by Radicals, is of doubtful certainty in the elections; when thousands are known to be sick of turmoil and anarchy; when the “ everlasting ding dong of the past ” ceases to be melodious to many; when the cruel fact is dri\ en home to the soldiers that they fought vainly ■when these changes can be chronicled of Massachusetts, is it not time for Radicalism elsewhere to prepare for dissolution ? Is it not time for Southern renegades to reckon the cost of treachery and the penalties awaiting it ? The same correspondent continues : “ Butler’s new scheme to pay the public cl djt meets with no favor. What was promised must and shall be paid in the 1 coin of the realm.’ Men who loaned money totbeOov ernment in its greatest need were not its ene mies, but its friends, and must be so regarded. Swindling public creditors is the poorest finan cial investment a nation can make.” Though Butler’s scheme may meet with no favor among the bondholders and those they influence, it is fair to presume that he and his plan have supporters. So shrewd a politician would hardly stand alone, aud every man he wins to his side is a disturb er of party harmony, hitherto compact and irresistible. The correspondent predicts that thou sands of Republicans will join the Demo crats for the purpose of electing a “ liberal ticket,” and says: “ The Republican Convention gave this mat ter (Butler’s new scheme) the go-by. It is not named in the platform, and it is said to have been squelched by the Committee on Resolu tions. The convention took no affirmative po sition in regard to the prohibitory or license question, but granted a sort of plenary indul gence to its members to vote as they choose one way or the other, without injuriously affecting their standing in the party. The re sult is that the election of members of the Leg islature will, in every district iu the State, turn upon these questions. Thousands of Republi cans will join with the Democrats to elect lib eral men. This feeling is working itself up to the State ticket, and if the Democrats, at their convention on the Ist of October, nominate proper candidates, they will receive the sup port of the liberal Republicans; perhaps enough to elect it.” As long as Radicalism held the agrcs sive, it could claim invincibility ; but the grand and undaunted struggle of Conserva tism has put it upon the defensive—even in Massachusetts—and if the ardor of the re actionary party suffer no extinguishment or chill, the day of panic and defeat is not iar distant from those who, but yesterday, held so haughty a crest, so defiant an attitude, so supreme an authoiity. Shall Massachusetts be redeemed and Georgia lost ? Shall Georgia march into the pit from which even Massachusetts bids flair to extricate herself ? Judge Harris’ Theory— The Honorable Iverson L. Harris says : “ Now, 1 take it to be an undeniable fact, that Georgia, by the ordinance of her conven tion in 1861, did dissolve her connection with the Federal Union, and renounce the Federal Constitution." Is it not, also, an undeniable fact that the Federal Government declared such an ordi nance illegal and void; and, by force of arms, did it not, undeniably, compel us to accept its declaration as the true one ? Which, then, shall be taken as true —the views of the victor or those of the van quished ? Again, the Judge says: *< I take it to be aho an undeniable fact that Georgia, as a State, has not been restored to her former position i:i the Federal Union.” If Georgia was out of the Union—a foreign State—and has nevev been restored, why did the Congress invite, nay in*ist, upon her voting as a State upon the Con stitutional Amendment ? If Daniel has come to judgment before a trial is ordained, perhaps his wisdom will resolve these questions. Spiteful.— General Beauregard, having re considered bis manly declarations against the Copperhead politicians, and taken ground in favor of Andrew Johnson’s policy, why should he not be asked to Philadelphia by the Demo cratic friends of the soldiers ? [ Whashington Chronicle (Forney's.) Why not? You were glad enough to welcome him to your fold, when he seemed traveling in that direction. Much Obliged.— The Radicals are crazy about Sheridan. One of their orators, quoting Byron, says: “ Nat re triad.' t.ut one such man, And roke the die ift moulding S.eri an. Nature deserves unlimited thanks. She WM evidently disgusted with her work. Changes.—A correspondent of the New York World, writing from Austria, says: “ What freaks does not time as well as for tune play ! Fifty years ago one Prince Metter nich received the Golden Fleece of Charles the Bold of Burgundy for puttiug Austria into the sentry-box of the Holy Alliance. To-day, another Prince Metternich receives it lor kick ing that same sentry-box into the Adriatic ! If Lincoln should burst his cerements fifty years hence, he might be as much sur prised at the results of time, as George Washington undoubtedly is at the present complication. Whirligig. —Just before the war, Mr. Stanton called the “ late lamented ’ a gorilla. “Why,” cried be, “need we send to Africa for the gorilla, when we (referring to .the arrival of Mr. Lincoln) have one in our midst ?” In 1839 Mr. Forney styled Thaddeus Stevens a <“ villain at heart.” Now, Mr. Stanton alludes to Lincoln as the “ sainted martyr,” and Forney calls Stevens a pure and matchless statesman. The Great Possum. —Whenever Trad Stevens causes the telegraph to declare him at deatli’s door, we know he is playing pos sum. That dropsy of the chest has sub sided. He is again well and busy over his little schemes. It is now announced that he will visit his furnace and the Upi>er Lakes. A savage critic growls that he “ had better visit the furnace in conjunc tion with the lowerhxke.” Caught. —Mr. Seward is a man of strange contradictions. Some years ago, he grew furious because Earl Russell drew a parallel between the United States and Turkey. A few' months since, when the Turkish envoy was presented, Mr. Seward ran the very same parallel that gave him a sick stomach in the past. We think Turkey has the worst of it; for tuat comparison is odious. Want Drilling.— The negroes, it is said, have the knack of forgetting their registered names. The World advises the Bureau agents “ to have each negro’s name, printed on a ticket at Government expense, and pinned to his coat tail in proximity to the bank books which Senator Wilson de clared so common among the negroes of the South.” There and Here.—A New Orleans pa per, speaking of a certain theatre, says: “ Too much credit cannot be given to the euterprising and energetic proprietor of this theatre.” Our experience with theatre managers is different. Foul. —The Spanish Government has de clared the whole of the United States foul with yellow fever and cholera. The Dons might have added a worse disease than either and one much more foul. In Pursuit.—Cougressm in Shanks has gone to Richmond in pursuit of evidence regarding the treatment of Federal prisoners.— Telegraph. Did he go by rail, charging the Govern ment mileage, or on Shanks’ mare ? The “ Sixteen Reasons.”— Mr. Greeley says the author of the “ sixteen reasons” is a villian. The Buffalo Commercical Advertiser, (Republi can,) says they were got up by the frieudt of Mr. Colfax, in that city. [From the Bangor (Me.) Democrat, l£th. Our Triumph. Many long years have passed since the Democracy of Maine have had such cause of rejoicing as they have to-day. Last year, after a hard fought fight, vht Radicals rolled up against us the tremen dous majority of 27,600. It was against this terrible odds that the Democracy went into the fight last Monday. They" had nob the slightest idea of overcoming it. They struggled not to elect Pillsbury, but to re duce that majority. It seemed to b< con ceded by both Radicals and Democrats, that if we reduced Chamberlain’s majority be low 15,000 we should win a victory. Such a reduction the Radicals regarded as equiv alent to a defeat. But the result of last Monday’s battle has happily disappointed the most sanguine ex pectations of the most sanguine Democrats. The returns received at the present writing, Tuesday afternoon, indicates that Chamber lain's majority will not exceed 8,000 in any event, and may not exceed 5,000. Here, then, we have the unprecedented Demo cratic gain of 20,000 in a single year. Is not that in itself a sublime victory ? It is a magnificent triumph, and we read it in the joyous looks of every Democrat, and in the sad, gloomy countenance of every Radical. The Republicans could not possibly have been more mortified and depressed, had Pillsbury been elected by 10,000 majority. One great cause of Radical depression is this: They know that their prestige of vic tory is gone. They know that their hither to impregnable lines are broken, and that they can never again be restored. They know that our next election they must pass into a minority from which they can never recover. Following so closely on the heels of our sweeping victory in California, our triumph in Maine is more significant. It demon strates that a mighty political revolution, such a revolution as the country has never known, is sweeping over the land. Within the next four weeks, it is to roll over New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the great Northwest, as it has lately rolled over Con necticut, Maryland, Kentucky, California Maine. It cannot be stayed; it cannot be checked. It is destinued to sweep every thing before it. The effect of our victory is unmistaka ble. We shall hear no more of impeach ment. Radical threats of another war will cease. Congress will be less tyrannical to ward the South, for they know that their doom is already sealed. We rejoice with our readers over this brilliant result. Long and hard have we labored to achieve it, and now we are re warded with a glorious triumph. TnE Millstone Upon Our Necks. —It lias been shown from substantial docu ments that the debt of the United States will go on increasing, during the current year, at the rate of upwards of one million dollars a week. Will it ever be paid ? Will not its magnitude be such as to render the liquidation of it impracticable ? Will the people bear the grinding oppression of a direct tax of twelve or fifteen million dollars a year for the payment of mere interest money ? Will they bear it, after being generally convinced (as most certainly they will be at length) that the war which gave birth to this debt, and entailed such intolerable burdens upon them, originated, not in honest views for the general welfare, but from the selfish and malignant passions of certain leading characters, and of the people of a few particular States ? No, they will rise in the terribleness of their might, and shake the burdens from their baeks. The men who feed the administration with money, will in all probability become the victims of their own cupidity; but they will not equally merit that misfortune. Those, if such there are, who believe war to be just and necessary, and. under the im pression of that belief, lend their money, to support it, will be entitled to some degree of commiseration if they suffer total loss. Whereas, those who are opposed in princi ple to the war, who think it has been wan tonly waged and unnecessarily continued, and of course that it is no other than an aggregation of horrible murders ; if they, for the sake of the pieces of silver accruing from the excess of interest, if they, in their road to wealth and perdition, shall lend their money, time after time, for the sup port of a war which their hearts condemn, they will discover to the world a superla tive degree of the most detestable moral turpitude ; and to each of them it rnigh* be fitly said, as was said to the avaricious sorcerer of old, “ Thy money perish with thee.” —Hartford CourarU, (Radical.) [Correspondence New York Herald. The Papal Question- Rome, September 10,1867. The irresistible progress of civilization even in retrogradfe Rome IS' demonstrated by the simple feet of Garibaldi’s speech at Geneva, condensed into a telegram, being published iff the Roman journals of last night vftßhout let or hindrance from the censor of the press. Everybody is specula ting on the probability of Garibaldi’s put ting/his threats into execution, and invad ing the Pope’s territory at the rinfrescata, whereby sch simply means the cool season, which certainly ia not vet come, for the heat is suffocating. Without presuming to know the secret intentions :of the Italian Government, I have been informed, upon reliable authori ty, that Signor Ratazzl, wishing to fortify his Cabinet l»y : the admission of some in fluential members of the left, will have to make concessions to them on the Roman question, and that in order to be able to do so he will have to apply to the French Gov ernment for the recall of the Antibes Le gion from Rome, under pretext that it con stitutes in reality an intervention, and is an infringment of the September treaty.— Should the French Government refuse to do this the Italian Minister will then de cline the responsibility of guarding the Pontifical frontier, and withdraw the forty thousand men who now form a defensive cordon around his Holiness’ dominions. It is said that Garibaldi has received a hint of this plan from headquarters, with the advice not to make at the present moment an attempt which would only be abortive, but to wait for the initiative action of the Government. There are people wno pro fess to know exactly how and when the Pope’s remaining territories are to be at tacked, and they declare that the whole movement is already concerted ; that a feint will be made on the northern frontier to ward Terni, but that the real onslaught will be toward Froslnone; that the French Government will not interfere so long as the capital is not touched, and that this further dismemberment will be limited to the provinces af Frosinone to to the south, and Viterbo to the north, leaving the Pope still master of Rome and Comarea. Pio Nono does not seem to afflict himself much about these rumors, for he looked remark ably well on Sunday morning, when he went in state, according to annual custom on the Bth of September, to the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo. On Thursday afternoon Madame Meslier and three other Catholic ladies from the United States had ail audience with his Holiness for the purpose of presenting a banner worked by themselves and destined for the corps of Pontifical Zouaves. The idea was originated at the time of the coronation and centenary solemnities by the Catholic American ladies who were in Rome at that period; but as most of them left this city immediately after those festivities, the exe cution and presentation of the work were entrusted to four ladies who remained here for that purpose, braving alike the danger of cholera and the heat of a Roman summer. Besides the flag, which was richly embroid ered in gold, the following address, written in French, and signed by all the ladies who had contributed to the work, with a speci fication of the State to which each belong ed, was presented to the Pope: Most Holy Father: We,the undersign ed, American Catholics of the United States, having come to Rome to enjoy the splendid triumph of our faith in the memorable fes tivities of the centenary of St. Peter, and being desirous of leaving a souvenir of such happy days, which we shall never forget, have‘sought under what form our offering might prove most acceptable to the mag nanimous heart of the august Pontiff, who in such eventful times guides with suavity and firmness the bark of Peter. We see your Holiness surrounded by dangers and trials, but supported and protected by in trepid defenders, among whom hold the first place those new crusaders, the elect of all Catholic nations, whose heroism is admired aud applauded by the whole world. Allow ing, most blessed Father, that the tribute of our profound and filial veneration may pass into their hands, we offer you a banner, the emblem of the ardent vows formed by our hearts, that the entwining devotion of your Zouaves may become, in every encounter, the safeguard of the Pontifical throne. May they, faithful to their mission, represent worthily the hearts of all your children, who would esteem themselves fortunate to watch over and devote themselves incessantly to your sacred person! Prostrate at your feet, O, Reverend Father, we implore your apos tolic benediction on this banner, on our selves and on ail the Catholics of our nation. Pio Nino received the ladies v.'ith the ut most’.benignity, expressing the satisfaction he felt in accepting their offering and im parting his blessing to them, their families and their Catholic compatriots. Mrs. Meslier has a son in the corps of Zouaves, who is now on sick leave at Civita Yecchia, where his mother has been in at tendance on him for some months. The Zouaves are expecting to have their devo tion to the Pontifical throne put to the trial ere long, for after Garibaldi’s positive asser tions that he means to come to Rome it will be the duty of the Pope’s soldiers to prevent him if he tries. The cholera still continues in Rome, and it has increased again to fifty or sixty cases a day, after having diminished to eight or ten. In Albano, however, the malady has entirely ceased, after having swept oil a fifth part of the population in about three weeks. Bishop Pierce. —We find the following in the Louisville Courier: SABBATH EXERCISES—SEPT. 22. The vai’ious pulpits in the city, with the exception of the Roman Catholic and Epis copalian Churches, were filled with the ministers of the conference. The day was balmy, and, after the sultry weather of the preceding week, was very grateful, and in connection with the fame of the ministers officiating, brought out large congrega tions. The Methodist Church South in the morn ing was filled to overflowing, and hundreds went away who could not even get standing room. Bishop Pierce preached. The prim itive apostles never preached better. We do not believe it to be in the power of mor tal man to do it. Said an eminent lawyer of this city, and a man of the world: “ I have heard Clay, Prentiss, Marshall and Bascom, but George F. Pierce is the great est orator of them all.” The enthusiasm was tremendous. The sermon gradually rose in grandeur and power until it reached a point where the universal outburst of feeling seemed imminent. It was directed to the ministers. Said an old Presiding Elder: “ Well, none of the preachers will locate after that, and some of them will re fuse to go to their appointments.” An emi nent member of the conference said: “It has always been hitherto a question with me as to which was the greatest sermon I ever heard. It is no longer a matter of doubt; the sermon of to-day settled it.” After the sermon the deacons were or dained. The Rev. Dr. Summers, of Nash ville, preached in the afternoon upon the “ Relations of the M- E. Church South to other branches of the Christian Church.” After this sermon the elders were ordained. At night the Rev. T. N. Ralston, D. D., made an address upoii the Holy Eucharist, and the communion of the Lord’s Supper was administered. ■■■ i m v Poland.— A corresponded! of the Pall Mall Gazette , writing from Warsaw on the sth inst., says: “An important decision has been arrived at by the authorities here and at St. Petersburg.— In order to destroy as much as possible all his torical recollections among the Poles, it hits been determined that Warsaw shall cease to be the capital of Poland. The kingdom will be divided into two districts, in which the chief seats of government will be Kalisch and Lub lin, Warsaw thus being reduced to the rank of a second rate provincial town. Arrangements are already being made for the removal of the principal Government officials from Warsaw, and the rents of houses have accordingly fallen considerably. This summary measure is sup posed to be partly intended as a defiance to France, which nation, since the Berezowski af fair, has been the subject of constant attacks in the Russian press. Ail the French professors at the Warsaw University were dismissed from their posts on the Ist instant, and I hear on good authority tnat all Frenchmen employed bn the railways and in Government offices are also to be dismissed.” The object of preaching is constantly to re mind mankind of what mankind are con-tauf ly forgetting; noi m ■my ply tip. d-fi-eta of Ini nan intelligence, fan r itialeet-l* liee« ,oi human rei-oluituu* ; iu recall mankind Horn the by-paths where they turn into that broaa I path of salvation which all know but few tread. Leaving the Old House. p There’s sunshine on the meadows, ‘ And sunshine on the road, . And through the brightness toils my horse m. Beneath a weary load; And as I staud beside my gate, With hand hofora *Y eyes, t I hear the children laugh to see the household ge4s I prize. There was a time when this old home _ Was full of mirth and glee, But one by one the household went, And left it all to me; A quiet house of vacant rooms, eaeh made a saert® place r By echo of a mißsing voice, or dream of vamslp lace. Ah, how I used to pause before , , The mirror on the.stair And shake mv long bright ringlets out, ' And fancy 1 was fair! I took that quaint old mirror down, and packs! it tip last night, And never stopped to trick my hair—for whstisieft is white! In latsr years I used to sit mAfi And watch the long green lane, 'ff. For one who came in (hose old times, . But cannot come again. And somehqw, still at eventide my chair is tuSsjjq that way; I sit and work where once I watched—l sat soryewsg! day. 5 My new house is a pleasant place; . TMjf But yet it grieves me how - ' Its small completeness seems to say My world is narrow now. ’Tis far too small for any one with festivals to keep, But for my funeral large enough, for few will come to weep. f Good-by, old house, and long good-by; My hand is on your gate; Though tears are gathering in my eyes, I may not longer wait. Good-by, old house, and after all, the love which makes you dear, - Awaits me in the heavenly home which I am dratvigg near. [From Leisure Hours', - Boston Girls. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune he scribes them thus: For the benefit of your lady readers I must try to sketch the Boston girl as I have seen her. The Boston girl necessarily was born in Boston. Necessarily also her ancestors, and she will trace back her lineage to that Thankful Osgood, who came over in 1640, and owned the cow that laid out the streets of Boston. The wolf that suckled Romulus was held in no more respect by the Latins than is the bronze image of that cow, cast by Mr. Bull, the sculptor, upbfc a commission from her father, a solid man, who lives on Beacon street, in a brown-stone front, with two “ bow” windows and a brass knocker. The ambition of every young Boston girl Is to live in a brown-stone front, with two “ bow” windows and a brass knocker, before she dies. Having accomplished that, and attended a course of medical lectures, 6he is ready to de part in peace, for after that all is vanity, r ' Accordingly, the city is filling up the es of the Back Bay and building hundreds'of these blank, prison-like brown-stone fronts, all of the sam’e size and color, laiifout with square aud compass, as full of windows as a cotton mill, and in general presently a look of stupid aristocratic wretchedness and ennui. The mouotqLJus parallelograms will by and-bye be filled *y.h Boston girls who will have attained the injlght of their ambition. There are three facts connected with the life of the Boston girl, viz, the frog pond, the na tural history rooms aud the fraternity lectures. In her infancy, if so majestic and awful a crea ture ever had an infancy, she sailed-small boats on the frog pond and was several times rescued from drowning in its depths by the same police man who to-day wanders along its stone coop ing, watching the reflection of his star in the water, as he did a quarter of a century ago.— She visits the pond daily on her way to the natural bistory rooms, where she inspects, with diurnal increase of solicitude, the bones of the megatherium and the nondescrip feeti of human and animal births preserved in Boston bottles filled with Boston spirits. The series of Fraternity Lectures is the last great fact of the Boston girl’s life. She dotes on Phillips, idolizes Weiss’ social problems, goes into a fine frenzy over Emerson’s tran scendentalism, and worships Gail Hamilton and her airy nothings. The Boston girl is of medium height, some what cottony, pale, intellectual face, light hair, blue eyes, wears spectacles, squints a little, rather deshabille iu dress, slight traces of ink ou her right second finger, blue as to her sti clangs and large as her to feet. Os physi cal beauty 6he is no boaster, but of intellectual she is the “ paragon of animals.” Gather a dandelion by the roadside, she will only re cognize it as the Leontoden taraxacum, and dis course to you learnedly of its fructification by winged seeds. She will describe to you the relative voicings of the organs of Boston, and the size of the stops in the Great One. She will analyze the difference in Beethoven’s and Mendelssohn’s t reatment of an allegro cem-motp. She will learnedly point out to you the theolo gical difference iu the conservative and, radical schools of Unharrinismt and she has hti-views on the rights of womau, including her sphere and mission. But I doubt whether the beauty of the flower, the essence of music, or the sublimity of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, or the inspiration of theology, ever find their way into her science-laden skull, or whether those spectacled eyes ever see their way to the care of Dature and a-t. The Boston girl is a shell. She never ripens into a matured flesh and blood woman. She is cold, hard, dry and juiceless—an intellectual mummy. Gail Hamilton is a type of the Bos ton girl at maturity. Abby Kelly Foster was a type of the Boston girl gone to seed. If Gail Hamilton lives as long as did Abby Kelly, she will carry a blue cotton umbrella, wear a Lowell calico, and make speeches on the wrongs of womau and the abuses of the tyrant man.— If the Boston girl ever marries, she gives birth either to a dictionary or total melancholy-look ing young intellect, who is fed exclusively ou regetables, and at the age of six has mastered logarithms and zoology, is well up iu the car boniferous and iossiliferous periods, fails into the Frog Pond a few times, dies when he is eight years of age, and sleeps beneath a learned epitaph and the Leontoden taraxacum. John Euskin on Marriage. John Ruskin thinks that he is a greater po litical economist than critic of art, as Finn thought that his Hamlet was better than his Bob Acres. Ruskin’s last proposition is to im pose restrictions on marriage which no legisla tor ever dreamed of before, and to maike'the State the giver away of the bride. The follow ing passages from the statement of his scheme shows what idiotic trash bright men can Some times write : “ Permission to marry should be the reward held in sight of youth during the entire latter part of the course of their education ; and it should be granted as the national attestation that the first portion of their lives hafcbeen rightly fulfilled. It should not be atnuftable without earnest and consistent effort, though put within the reach of all who were willing to make such effort; and the granting of which should be a public testimony to the fact that the youth or the maid to whom it was given had lived within their proper sphere a modest and virtuous life, and had attained such skill in their proper handicraft and in arts of household economy as might give well founded expecta tions of their being able honorably to maintain and teach their children. No girl should re ceive permission to marry before her 17th birth day, nor any youth before his 21st; audit should be a point of somewhat distinguished honor with both sexes to gain their permission of marriage in the 18th and 22d year ; and a re cognized disgrace not to have gained it at least before the close of the 21st and 24t.b. t Permissions to marry should be given pub licly to the maidens and youths who had won them in that half year, and they should be crowned, the maids by the old French ti'tle of Rosieres, and the youths perhaps by Some name rightly derived from one supposed signi fication of the word “baehelor,” “laurel fruit,” and so led in joyful procession, with music and singing, through the city, street or lane, and the day ehded with feasting of the poof, but not with theirs L except quietly at their homes. Every bachelor and rosiere should be entitled to claim, if they need it, according to their po sition in life, a fixed income from the State for seven years from the day of their marriage for the setting up of their homes ; and however rich they might be by inheritance, their income should not be permitted to exceed a given sum proportioned to their rank, for seven years fol lowing that in which they had obtained, their permission to marry, but should accumulate in tne trust of the State until the seventffyaar, in which they should be put, (on tions) finally in possession of their pigperty, and the men thus necessarily not befoqjittieir twenty-eighth, nor usually later than thcdPfuirty first year, become eligible to offices of Stipe. So that the rich and poor should not be JParply separated in the beginning of the wavdiflife; but the one supported against the first stress of it long enough to enable them, with proper forethought and economy, to secure tbtir foot ing- and the other trained somewhat lathe use of moderate means before they were pa-mitted to have the command of abundant ones. The Masonic Orphans’ Home o» Geor flu._Wc notice the following in the Washing ton City National Intelligencer of the 23d in stant : “ In our advertising columns will be found a history of the Masonic Orphans’ Home Lottery, recently chartered by the State of Georgia. It is seldom that we are willing to commend lot teries ol any description, but, in this irstunce we feel authorized to say that this enterprise is under the conduct of experienced, honest, high toned gentlemen, whose characters are #n am ple; guarantee that it will be managed proper ly, and the proceeds applied religionslyfto the appointed endowment of a home for Widows and orphans.” Meeting of Council.—There was a special ineetiug of Council Monday night to investigate charges of misconduct against Chief Fireman Platt, brought by Capt. H. C. Foster, of Gazelle Fire Company, with reference to the steamei recently purchased for it. Many witnesses were sworn, and at 10 o’clock, Mr. Platt pro ceeded to address the Board. We left the Hall, under the impression that the investigation could not possibly be concluded last evening. Houghton Institute.—We have been re quested by Mr. Derry, Principal of the male department of this school, to state that the ex ercises of this school will be resumed on Mon day, 7th day of October, at half-past eight o’clock, a. m. There will be two sessions a day; the morning session from half-past eight until half-past twelve, and the afternoon ses sion from half-past two until half-past tour. , Debication of a Jewish Synagogue in Sa vannah.—The new synagogue, on the corner ■of State and Montgomery streets, Savannah, we learn from the Advertiser , was dedicated on Prlday evening. Rev. Mr. Lewin delivered a sermon, and addresses were delivered by Messrs. Simon Gerstman and S. E. Byck. The congregation that is to worship in it is known under the style of “ B’nai B’rith Jacob.” Fire. —The arlarm of Arc on Sunday night, about 9 o’clock, was occasioned by the burning of a small house on the river bank, some dis tance above Marbury street. The house was consumed. The hose carriages of “Georgia” and “Gazelle” were upset in running to the fire and badly damageowing to the delecta ble condition of our streets and sidewalks. Richmond Academy.—We learn that a pro ject is on loot for the establishment of a high school iu this city with a full corps of intruct ors. It is proposed to adopt, in certain branch es, the lecture system. We trust the enterprise will be consummated. Hats.—Messrs. J. A. Van Winkle & Cos. have received a full supply of these indispensable articles of dress and comtort for gcutlgpien, embracing every style and quality.

Common Salt as a Special Manure for Wheat.—The Country Gentleman publishes the following communication : The articles which have recently appeared in your paper, on this subject, have been of great interest to some of us. They are certainly con vincing as to the value of salt as a manure for the wheat crop. The cause, too, is easily explained ; soda being a large constituent, ot salt, and that combining with the silex in the soil, forming silicate ofsoda, a large ingredient both in the straw and iu the grain of wheat, as well as many other grains. We have corroborating evidence ot this in the action of caustic soda upon straw iu the new process styled the hydrostatic, for making paper. Seven tons of straw are cut up with a straw cutter, into not more than half-inch lengths, and macerated tor seven hours with caustic soda and hot water in a huge revolving boiler. At the cud of that time the silex in the straw has combined with the soda, and remains in solution as silicate of soda, while the mass of vegetable fibre has been converted into a soft pulp ready lor bleaching into paper stock. Here would be a most admirable special manure for wheat, could it be utilized ; but, with many other valuable articles, it is usually thrown away at the paper mills. Common salt is, doubtless, a concentrated and portable substi tute for this article, and it is to be hoped that many farms will give it a trial, on his crop, the present season. Could we but add one bushel to the acre of the yield, or save that much in straw, obviating risk of lodging, or liability to insects or rust, through superior strength of constitution given to the plant, or earlier ripen ing of the berry, as your correspondent claims, what an immense boon it would be to the agri cultural interest of the country. A gain of only one bushel per acre would certaiuly be a gain to the farmers of the United States ot mil lions of dollars. But caution must bo exer cised, and great care must be used to prevent too much being applied to the soil. Too much would he even worse than too little. 100 lbs. per acre will doubtless be enough. By all means let us have this important ques tion thoroughly tested this season. Evening Papers in New York. —The supply of cheap newspapers is constantly increasing. We now have dailies at one, two, three, four and five cents, and week lies innumerable at from five to fifteen. The latest candidate for favor in the cheap field is the Evening Mail, the first number of which is to appear this evening. It will be published by C. H. Sweetser, formerly of the Round Table, and more recently of the Gazette, and the price will be two cents. A little over twe months ago Sweetser sold a share in the Gazette to a Mr. Ahern, for merly of the Albion, and then started for Europe. He returned three days ago, quar reled and dissolved partnership with Ahern next day, and will have out the first num ber of an opposition paper this afternoon. Pretty quick work that. The rivalry between Sweetser and Ahern promises to be as sharp as that between Bennett and Ben Wood. I defy you to go ' into any street in New York and not have the Even ing Telegram or the Daily News thrust iu your face and bawled in your ear every five minutes. These penny papers, w r hich are mostly made up of prurient gossip and the worst class of criminal news, are becoming a positive nuisance. Os their moral influ ence on boys and girls, by whom they are sold, and many of whom read and gloat on their dirty contents, it is not necessary to speak.— Cor. Mobile Advertiser & Register. From Mexico.—The New York Herald of the 27th says: Our special telegrams lrom Mexico City are dated September 19, and come by way of Havana, September 26. Vico Admiral Tegethoff had determined to return soon to Austria, whether he received the remains of Maximilian or not. Porfirio Diaz had accepted the nomina tion for the Presidency and his adherents were organizing for a furious campaign. Our Mexico City correspondence is dated September B. Efforts were being made by Admiral Tegethoff to secure the liberty of Father Fischer, Maxi milian’s confessor. The reverend father was authorized by Maximilian to publish all his cor respondence with Napoleon and Bazaine during the intervention, and it is said recently refused four hundred thousand francs offered by a French officer for the documents. It was con sidered more than probable that Marquez was still concealed in Mexico City. Princess Salm- Salm was living in Queretaro, where her hus band was serving out his seven years’ sentence. Singular State op Affaihs. —An anomaly is now presented in Columbus. Over three hundred bales of cotton have been received each day of the past week and yet trade has been comparatively dull. Ordinarily, with large arrivals of cotton, business of every kind is very brisk. The present status is due very much to a great deal of cotton going to repay merchants for goods,' provisions and money advanced last spring and summer, the low price now offered for the staple, and the desire to have money on hand to pay off' frcedmen. There are other causes, all ot which tend to keep very few greenbacks in circulation. It is hoped that in a short time money will become more plentiful, and, as a consequence, trade and industry will thrive wonderfully. Whether the price of cotton will ever advance is a hard question to answer. —Columbus Sun. Pneumatic Dispatch Company.—The last Legislature of New Jersey incorporated a com pany with the above title, and a meeting of the corporation was held yesterday afternoon at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, for the purpose of effecting an organization in accordance with the charter. This was done, A. E. Beach, of New York, being elected President of the com pany. This company havedn view the laying down of an experimental pneumatic railway, of about two miles in length, on the general plan of the passenger tube which is now in operation at the American Institute Fair. ■ \N. Y. World, Sept. 27. Haloxlin is the name of anew species of blasting powder, whieh rather cleaves than crushes, a valuable property if used in coal mines ; it will neither ignite spontaneously, nor by friction, nor by percussion, and its explo sion gives rise neither to deleterious gases nor smoke. It is twice as btilky as gunpowder, but it is one-half more powerful, and is composed of sawdust nine parts, charcoal three to five parts, and nitre forty-five parts.

Florence, September 27—-Midnight.—Se rious riots have broken out at Udine, a town of Southern Italy, sixty miles from Venice. Aun ed bands paraded the streets clamoring for revolution. , , _ . These bands were largely composed of Gari baldian volunteers, who had been compelled to fly from the Roman frontier by the Italian troops. The partisans of Garibaldi are creating tu mults in various parts of Italy for the purpose of obtaining the release of their leader. It is reported that King Victor Emauuel is about to issue a proclamation calling an extra ordinary session ot the Italian Parliament. THE MOVEMENT IN SWITZERLAND. Geneva, September 27.—Crowds of men as sembled in the streets of the city yesterday and loudly cried for the release of Garibaldi. Some violence was done, but no one was in jured. THE FENIANS. Dublin, September 27. —Fears are entertain ed that the Fenians here, emboldened by the success of the mob at Manchester, will make a similar effort to rescue Capt. Moriarty, who is now undergoing his sentence of imprisonment. The Government is taking all necessary pre cautions against such an attempt. Forty of the Fenian convicts who have hith erto been imprisoned in the Irish jails have been sent to Portland, England, for safe keeping. A FENIAN NAVAL ALARM—BRITISH GUNBOATS FOR THE IRISH COAST.

MEXICO. Havana, September 26, via Lake City, Sep tember 27, 18(57.—Advices lrom the city of Mexico to the 15th and Vera Cruz to the 20th inst. have been received. The body of the ex-Emperor Maximilian had been brought from Queretaro 10 the city of Mexico. The report, of Vera Cruz that the condition on which the body of Maximilian would be de livered to Admiral Tegethoff was the return of the articles stolen and carried off to Miramar is false. Mr. Qtterbonrg, the late American Minister, had obtained liis passports for home with his family and Mr. Blake. The archives of the le gation are left in charge of Consul Cripps. Marquez is reported to have been seen going into Tainuuiipas with a mule load of mouey. The Couvocatoria is appointed to meet on the 22d inst. Property in Sonora to the amount of over 5100,000 had been confiscated. A specie conducta had left Queretaro. The Nueva Leon forces had triumphed, en tering Monterey on the 24th uit.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENT. Washington, September 27—11 o’clock, P. M.—A plan has been transmitted to the Sec retary of the Treasury, which it is understood meets the approval of bankers and financial men who hove conferred on the subject in New York, by means of which it will be practicable to accomplish the following important objects. It will be practicable to resume specie pay ments in five years, retire all the National Bank currency notes within ninety days, substitute greenbacks as the sole currency of the country, give commerce and the West ninety millions increased bank circulation (greenbacks), and reduce the coin interest debt three hundred millions ; and all iu a manner satisfactory to the backing aud financial interests of all sec tions. TRIAL'of JEFF. DAVIS. Judge Underwood and L. H. Chandler, Uni ted States District Attorney for Virginia, are here in consultation with the Attorney General relative to the trial of Jeff. Davis m November. Mr. Chandler, who is the prosecuting officer in the case, will, it is understood, he governed iu his action entirely by the advice of Mr. otan bury. Judge Underwood and Mr. Chandler are both of opinion that sufficient testimony can be produced to convict Mr. Davis, provided the case is allowed to take the regular course, without any interference upon the part of the authorities here. The friends of Mr. Davis, in. eluding his bondsmen, assert that he will put in an appearance at court when wanted, and that he is not only willing, but auxious, to go through a regular trial on the indictment against him. Mr. Chandler has as yet received no definite instructions, the case being still un der consideration. The Worlds Washington special says, im portant official information has been received here, that judicial steps have been taken iu Gen. Pope’s district to secure the right of suffrage by the recent proclamation. Several citizens of Alabama who have been pardoned by the pro clamation have been before boards of registra tion, which are now revising the lists, and de manded the right to be registered. Gen. Pope instructed the boards to refuse to register them, and they were refused. Hon. S. F. Rice, of Montgomery, an ex-judge of Alabama, who was one of the parties, went before the United States Commissioner and made affidavit of the fact with a view of testing in the United States courts the constitutionality of the military re construction laws and the powers conferred by an Executive.pardon. Similar movements will be made in all of the Southern States where registration is not closed, and if legal redress fails before Judges Busteed and Underwood in Alabama and Virginia, His Honor Chief Jus tice Chase can look at his Presidential pros pects over a decision on the military act iu his circuit court in North Carolina. This fimport ant movement is exciting deep interest in official circles here, New Citt Officers for Savannah.— lt has long been generally known that no election would be ordered or allowed for Mayor and Aldermen at th<s usual time in October, but that the vacancies occasioned by the expiration of the term of service of the present incumbents would be filled by appointment by Gen. Pope. Many surmises have been indulged in as to who would be the fortunate individuals, and several names have been mentioned. Yesterday morning, however, it was gener ally understood, through what source we know not, that the names had already been selected, as follows : Mayor—Col. A. L. Harris ; Aider men—Messrs. Henry Meinhard, A. J. Biady, W. H. Smith, J. A. Brown, S. W. GloaSon and Martin Duggan. These six are all that we have heard mentioned. Whether the six remaining ones are to be taken from the present board or selected from the colored voters, we have no means of knowing. It is probable, however, that some of the present board will be re tained ; indeed, the common opinion has for some time settled upon four of them as almost certain to be appointed. It is also reported that Mr. Henry S- Wet more, President of the City Board of Registra tion, is to be Chief of Police, and some Mr. Pillsbury, who was at one time connected with the Freedmcn’s Bureau, is the Chief ot the De tective Force. We do not know if there is any truth in these rumors, and merely give them for what they are worth.— Advertiser, 80th. How the Spiritualists Look.— The Cleve land Herald thus describes the looks of the spiritual brothers and sisters, who have been bolding a convention in that city : “ We were more interested in the female de legates than in the male. So far as the latter are concerned there is the usual gathering of long haired, heavily-bearded, bald-headed, lean kind. There is hardly a stout man in the crowd, and not far one. Many wear spectacles; and almost all wear soft hats, and dusters, aud more of them carry carpet-bags, evidently fllied with books and pamphlets. The women are for the most part past their prime, generally of the cadaverous order, with now and then a cheerful face breaking out into smiles, and lighting up with jollity and intelligence. Asa rule the women faces are seriously 6ad ; as if they had come to find some one who could minister to a mind diseased, some one who could pluck out a rooted sorrow. The “ bloomer” costume is not infrequent in the convention, the wearers tripping about evidently not at ease, but yet as if determined to have their own way. Two of the “ strong-minded” have thrown themselves inside regular frock coats and trowsers, the coat being closed tightly in front. These women dispense entirely with crinoline, ana both being spare in figure have a very lank, scant, chilly look.” The lady who writes under the name of “ Ouida ” is said to be a Miss Redden, who lives in a pretty cottage in tbe viciuity of Lon don is not at all beautiful, but has many ad mirers in consequence of her remarkable poweis Os conversation, and her prodigious learning.

One Bradley, a Boston mulatto, has been sev eral times arrested by the military and civil authorities for swindling negroes and exciting disturbances. He had a gathering here of some thousands of negroes, mostly from the country, to-day. In course of harangues against white men and in favor of distribution of lands, Con servative negroes interrupted him, when a melee occurred. A large force of police charged through the crowd, the military came to their aid and together cleared the square. Muskets, brought in by a large band of country negroes, were taken by the police and turned over to the military. A large proportion of the colored population disapprove of Bradley and threat ened to assassinate him.
