Oardinul Polo, the last liotuisU Arch l,i hop of the English C’hQoh, died Nov. 17th, 1.778. He was succeeded by tho Protestant Vtchbiahop Mathew Parker, flcro the sttceflScdon in tho (l)iurdh of Eng land and of the P. E. (J. in America he "inn. Thu question is, did the sueees : mn pass from the Romish into the Eng- lish ('hutch at this point? It was then; and is still denied, that : Parker was ever ordained Bishop at all. !

It was then, and is still denied, thatJsishop Barlow was 1 ever ordained it Bishop. lam not aware that the records of their oiiliimtiou have: ever been produced iu an authentic form. To say tin most for it, there in uncertainty as to these ordinations. But it tin- vvas settled beyond a question, 1 by what authority did Bishop Barlow or dain Bishop Parker? If he ever had any J at nil, hu received it from tho Homan Catholic Church. And yet he and Parker had both beet) excommunicated from the Catholic Church long before the timff in j which thus ordinat ion is said to have oc curred. If, therefore, Parker ever had been or dained a priest, and Barlow a Bishop, the orders conferred had been withdrawn by (ho same authority that, conferred them, iui neither had the right to colder or ~ai\ e the order of Bishop- The P.

Most ocrUinly not. 15y what ! iiuriuirity, then, does liarUnv transfer the * \ toiioai succession to I’inker? ■ e.-tijy u ism the succession. It is a | l'aoi weil i stauliehed by history, thatdur ine i'e dark ages, tho office of Bishop was o'i e aiueti in some instances by force qfarms, and l« others by bribery. Does Apostolical sue.-,-.-ion p"'S- through either of these channels ? Would not an ordination oh tallied by either violence or bribery be null and rc ltd S It so, would not all others ilia ,le , cud, u from such Bishop, be also mil! and void ? It it is maintained that such ol'ih is are valid, then may any man become a Bishop by force or by money. If it i- valid in one case it is iu all. If such ordinatious are valid then is Apostolical succession perpetuated by ibroo and c. r ruptiop. It they an not valid, there is no succession, for if it ever existed, fimr and , 11< at ion have severed the chain. I therefore maintain that the doctrine of Apostolical succession makes external oig.inisni ,s.' i/eif to salvation, limits the Divine power to s.ivc men, and puts the salvation of nun* in the most r c tuna' peril. \\ ho. upon ibis theory, can bo certain of bis salvation ? Who knows that every link in the succession chain, down to him, is perfect ? If this hypothesis be true, then is c\ ry man forced, with the poet, to e.xe! in " 'Vim can resolve tho doubt That tears my ftukiou* breast— Shall 1 he with tllv iltnmied east out, Or iiumberovt with the blest?" Ay<\ n»or« ! The almost certainty is. that lha chain, if it ever existed, is broken. “H> 'dun can U saved."' Ac oordi ;g to this theory Christ has parted with liis original right to tail amiseni out wcu to prutcii His Gospel, and those to whom ti is sacred trust was committed have | rovvii uulaikMul to that trust, and the whole sehome oi’ redemption is a fail ure?

There can be no break in the links i this chain I object’ to the P. K. 0, as not suited to a uuii -asal Church, because I conceive her standard of pi actual and <xpt i trrunta! piety to be below that enjoined in ihe 11. Y v, gill under-.tand me as speok iuz ot tl: Chureii as a Church, and aot of its iodi.id.uai members. I intend no un kiud reflections in making this objection, i entutain no unkind ieeiiugs fir a human being. I know there are tnv.y devotedly pious members in the I*. L. C-, in the miuisuj us iu the layoty. But it is w,ih the Church gtandcutl 1 now hate to Jo. I understand it to be hold by the Church that social dancing, circuses, theatres, modern opera, the race course, card play ing, said in a word, indulging in the ouiuiarv autust n -.uta of the wmiti, in which the irreligious seek their enjoyment aud pastime, yea ail this is ciiiaisttnt udth (Vtrkttouchaeacti r. There are exceptions to this-rule l know. But is not this the rule ou this subject iu the P. E. C ? 1 fdiould rejoice to find I hat I was mistaken. But certainly I HU, not, as to the P. E. C •in (’otumbiis Georgia. This view of , t.’hrWtuuMty.il seems tome,isinconflict with both the general tenor and the specific teachings df the word of God. From | liouesi- to Revelations, the scriptures j teach that Christianity is designed to make man a creature. That, by nature be j is earthly, sensual and devilish ; and that he must be efneified to the world and the world to him —made separate from sinners. The grandeur of the sent mo cf salvation is us argument apriuri. God i- manifest in the flesh; Christ is crucified ; the Holy Ghost is given" ; the Church is organized, : an 1 th> living Ministry appointed— the united, Triune God seems to be moving on some grand mission. Man is the theatre of action. It m to BRING nut back id God. D,>es not al! this warranr the conclusion that seme marked change is to be wrought iu man ? That he is to be lifted up to communion with God again ? Is mixing with the world, in its pursuit alter earthly joys, consistent with tne Divine purposes as indicated in these mighty movements of human redemption and salvation ? The eific teachings of the Bible il lustrate mo rc fully these general indications. “Moses s ood in tfce gate of the camp and raid, Who is on the Lord’s side ? let him come unt'; me. And the great Apostle said: “What concord hath Christ with Belial” —“what agreement hath the tern pie of God with idols? for ye a-e the tem ple of the living God”—“wherefore come out from am. ug them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.” “And be not conformed to this World, but be ye transformed by iliereoewingofyour mind” “ye are the light of the world,” tays Christ —“let your light so shine before a uij, that they may see your goods works and glorify your Father which is iu Heaven There is a marked distinctive mm in the Christian’s outward character, according to these teachings, which doe* not cimport with the pursuit of the pleasures oi the world. “AH my springs are in I lice," -aid the Psalmist. Moreover, the standard of experimental piety, according to the teachings of the I'. E. C., is equally defective. Indeed, this is the spring from which flows this conformity, ty the world. While the Church teaches the general doctrine of ultimate holiness'as necessary to salvation in Heaven, she denies the , doctrine of a enweiov* enae of sins for aivtn, and of the new birth, arid maintains j that if is injurious to piety to entertain the idea that you are bornagnin. Conversion, , 1 as understood by evangelical Christians, is , not. only denied but ridiculed by some of the descendants of the Apostles. What do they do with the conversion of Paul, ; and his experience otten told before kings 1 and judges ? Did he not have a conscious j sense of pardon, and of the new birth? “ He was filled with the Holy Ghost.” The nature of the work—“ Marvel not that j L said unto thee yc mu-r be born again”— i is such as necessarily involves our con . Aciowneu. Mark the figures of scripture !on this subject. “Crucified with Christ;” “risen with Lfim;" “created anew;” | “made partaker of the Divine nature;” “ the body of sin destroyed.” Are these the words of the Lord ? Are they used to convey ideas to the mind of the gracious change produced upon our morjJ nature? Then is it utterly impossible tor such a change to pass upon man without a con scious sense of it. The explicit teachings of the Book pro claim that we may know thisgrace. “Thou shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord. ’ “If any man will do iiis will he I shall know of the doctrine.” “1 know | that my Redeemer livoth,” said -fob—and Paul exclaims T know whom I have be lieved,’ “knowing this that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed.” “The Spirit itself buareth witness with our Spirit that we are the children of God.” In the light of the Bible we must insist, therefore, on a conscious sense of the par don of sins, and of being torn again, as I ne Lis'tk-riijLt of the Christian. And to those who have it not the words of the Apo 110 are addressed : “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, yc have need, that one teach you again, which be the tir t principles of the oracles of God.” It was for preaching and professing to live up to this doctrine that the Wesleyans were persecuted by tho Church of Eng land, into a separate Church organization. And while the leaven of the truth main tained by (lie Wesleyans has leavened many of the ministers and members of that Church, both in England and Ameri ca, still tin' Church itself holds to her first principles upon this subject; we can not, therefore, accept her platform for a Universal Church. Again. I object to the economy of the P< E. C. as,not adapted to the spread of the gospel. The Apostolic commission is, “go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. ” An Apostolical Church must, therefore, be adapted to tliisend. The dogma of Apostolical succession ne cessarily restricts the extension of the blessings of tho gospel. Her forms of worship, while they, suit minds of a par ticular cast, are not adapted to the masses of tho people and prevent Church ad vancement. This is illu'truted in the progress of the Church. Her operations and increase are confined mainly to tho cities, towns and populous communities. The ,Church is coexistent with Georgia, and she now ouly numbers twenty-two Ministers and not quite twenty-four hun died members; while “the sects,” and “societies,” as they call the other Church es, number about two hundred thousand communicants. Theu there must be a want of motive 'pouter as well as organic adaptedness. Paul says “for our Gospel came not unto jou in word only, but also in potcer, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance. ’ The experiment of tho P. E. C. in this country does not com mend it to my judgment as an organism best suited to spread the gospel through out the world. Finally, tho divisions in the P. E. C. constitute au objection to her as an organi zation for the uuton of all Christian-) at this time. It is not to bo concealed that, both in Europe and America, there are serious divisions in tho Episcopal Church, which the be.-t Iriends ot the Church fear i will eventuate in rending the body. There I are, at least, three distinct parties : Ist. | The Tiactarians, who are in deep sym pathy with Rome. 2d. The High Church i men, who still fight against Rome. 3d. ! Tho Evangelical Episcopalians, who hold ! that, while they prefer Episcopal ordina tion, it is not essential to a church or to a Christian ministry. Uu this subject the Rev. Mr. Etiis, rector of Christ Churoh, Nashville, Tennessee, holds die following language: “One party wishes to effect whet, all must admit, would bean essential change in our Church—to re introduce the precise dogmas and practices, the removal ot which wa> the very aim of the Ref ormation. “The other party, animated by the same idea, the same governing princi -1 pies which moved the Reformers, labor i that the very same identical spirit shall ever breathe in her formularies aud govern all her conduct.” Agaiu he says,* "I warn ihose in the Church who say peace, that there can bo no peace.” He maintains I that the Ritualists are the aggressive party, and that they must and will be met. The Tyng difficulty in New York illustrates the truth of our assumption. Indeed, no ; well informed clnirehmau will deny that there are serious divisions in the, I*. E. C. In tills suite ,4 things it seems to mo to , ijewi-. 1 wait till these conflicting forces arc harmoniz, 1. lest the foreign element in troduced might increase the centrifugal, rather than the eeutripedal forces, and thus precipitate atjbUior schism, instead of pro moting a universal union. The imperfect examination I have been able to ruftke in the space ol time allowed me tor-a discussion of the formations of the P F. C., discovers that it is not welisuit j ed to »o large a building as the Bishop proposes. 1 prefer the foundation "stoo which the builders disallowed,” but which has become “the head of the corner.” But Uwme to -ay, in conclusion, Ido not K ieve God t\er de-igned that His be lieving children should al: be united under , one external organization. While it is reasonable tim I should believe Methodism to be the Church organization of all others, most .-mud to help man to be good, aud to carry the gospel to all people, still l have no idea that the cud of the gospel ; would be best subserved by all believers joining .he M. E. C. I believe the cause ot God may be pro moted by the subdivision of the Church in ; a various external organisations : fur nishing an opportunity tor every member to be ;; \y joined to the body. Some pre fer to bo Episcopalians; some Methodists; some Bi* lists ; some Presbyterians ; and some prefer other denominations—let every one be Jitly joined, where the doctrine.., torn,a and economy suit him best. But :< t them be united together, and to tii Head, Jesus Christ. And be •a ">s Christ and his Father are one. Oue iu t.atu.' ; having ail “been made par takers of the Divine nature." by “tkere ne wing of the lioiy Ghost. ” Oue in unit ed tjrjort to saic ,»< n. Ihe Father cave His tyon : the Son gave Cis life, the Holy , Ghost sanctities the soul. A cither is jeaiuus f the ether, nor seeks to monop j ohze the 'whole work or to absorb the other. The Father is not jealous of the Sou as ilo triumphs over Hie euemies ou the Cre-.-s. in the resurrection and ascension. Nor dot's the ti on oomplath of the honors given to the Holy Ghost ou the day of Pentecost. It is their one work to save men, aml each is glorified iu the work of the other. So should each branch of the Church of God feel that they have their specific w>>rk in the vineyard of the laird ; and that each is honored in the suoees- of the other, and sJuKlid, therefore, rejoice iu the triumphs of the Redeemer's cause wherever it ts to be seen. This is “the unity of the Spirit in the boudsof peace"— "many members,” “but one body aud one Spirit.’’ Tnis unity, in individuality and i distinct personality of the various i Churches, prevents stagnation, and also ’ the oppression of a great monopoly. It i provokes each other to good works, and keeps the Churches active and alive. And : there need be no more contention and strife between the various branches of the Church than in anyone Church; if we have the Spirit of the Master tee are one. “Let the potsherds strive with the pots herds of the earth,” but let the Christians of every’ name cease to prosilyte from each other’s Churches, and “go up to themoun tain and bring wood and fuel to the house; and I wiil take pleasure in it. and I will be glorified,saith the Lord.” ‘’Then Ephraim shaii not vex Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim ;” but, by the effectual working of the measure of each part, make increase of the body’ to the edifying o; itself in love.” “Thus will the Church below, Resemble that above: Where s reams of endless pleasure flow, And every heart is Jove.” Chronicle & fcntintl.

The Seventeen-Yea it Locusts. — The Louisville Democrat has treated its readers to a historical dissertation on locusts, and, as some of the same species have appeared in this section, it may be i interesting to the general reader. It may, : however,be best to preface this sketch with the observation that 10-cusses of tho Scala wag order are much more numerous here abouts than the regular simon pure lo i custs. The former are much more to be dreaded, too, than the latter —the Scala : wag 10-cusses, that destroy everything within their reach while the locusts arc 1 only partially destructive. But to the subject : The seventeen-year locusts are dill’erenc from the ordinary 10-cusses. They appear in the indivisible period of seventeen years, and were last visible in 1851. They are now due aud prompt payment is expected. They were visible to observers May 23d, 1-817 ; in 1834 about the same time, aud have made this year’s entree about May 26. The frequent rains obligingly drowned many of them, it is said, and most ot them are now live inches below the surface 01, the ground, discouraged in their entrances by the raia-bfiaring Hyades. Like other 10-cusses they Jirst appear in the pupa or puppy state, ami soon after can be caught on the fly in base-ball sea son. They deposit eggs the last of May in the tender twigs, and when they get to grub, or the wormy state, they fail to the ground and grovel two or three feet be neath the surface, in order to reach again the pupa form. Mr. Lehman, who has investigated, savs they never go down be yond six feet. The egg must “touch the ground” before animation begins. In growing out they will penetrate between the bricks of a pavement. They prefer shade of woods and shun the open mead ows. The damage to vegetation, it is affirmed, is done by the female in deposit ing her eggs, and not iu consuming the j young leaves. The female locusts carry a sting which, when bruised or irritated, they use with fatal effect. Persons in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, were killed by • stinging in 1851. Children stung were ; cured by cutting live chickens in half and i applying the still warm flesh to the punc . tnr pi part. They are eaten bv hogs, squirrels, and some of the larger birds, and when fried form a favorite dish with the Indians. The grasshopper is classed with the ge hus locustrtf and some ot the devastation ascribed to the grasshopper is said to have been done by the red legged locust, the first cousin of this seventeen year visitor. This species will ravage salt meadows, corn, vegetables and clover, aud in the middle of the last century were so destructive a gluerai day of fasting and prayer was ap pointed to implore Divine intervention. Various methods have been resorted to to check their ravages, such as collecting the eggs, which may be easily turned out of the ground. The grown locusts are caught in cloths and nets spread over the fields. This plan was adopted by Brigham Y’ouug and the Mormon Saints. Fortunately for this country, howeve r , U has escaped the fearful ravages done by the migratory locusts in Syria, Egypt, and almost all the south of Asia and Europe, and sometimes as far north as England They fly in thick clouds, vailing the sou i and de troying every trace ol vegetation in 1 their progress. Although we have escaped these, yet the grasshoppers on the plains were v*ry destructive, aud their devasta ’ion was a cause of the renewal of Indian t hostilities, the tribes being thus deprived of food, l ife seventeen-year old bug, how l ever, is comparatively harmless, felling ! woods, but not injuring vegetation greatly. New York Convention. We have been requested to state that j suitable arrangements are being made for | the accommodation of the Georgia dele gates in New York, and that when con summated das notice will be given. Negro Suffrage in the South. The only question upon which there ap j pears to be any fear of dissension and dis j agreement in the New York Convention is that of negro suff rage. A few months since the indications were that the point of difference and of difficulty would be j upon the bond and finance question.— j Fortunately for the party and for the coun | try there has b r .en developed so much of : disagreement upon this question in the ranks of the Radicals as to diminish very ! materially the opposition of the bond ; holding Democracy to a correct and eon j titntional position on this subject. The i views of the ablest men in the Radical , party are found to coincide with the ad- I vanced and legal ground taken by Mr • Pendleton and the great body of the i Democracy last fall. These divisions in i the Radical party will enable the New ! York Convention to frame its platform in ; this particular iu such a way as to satisfy ! the great body of the party, while, at the j 3ame time, giving no special cause of j complaint to the bondholding Democrats. Until recently we had hoped that the i party was a unit on this question of ne , gro suffrage. We believe still that a very | large majority of the party are fully j agreed upon this issue. We have had no intimation of trouble upon this point until the Chase movement began. The boud ! holding Democrats seem to be perfectly willing to take Chase upon his own record j on the finance question and will not insist. ’ if he is the nominee, upon incorporating 1 their peculiar dogmas in the platform. But ! Chase’s nomination would involve a back j ing down ou the negro suffrage question ! of either himself or the Democratic parly. The New York World's party, the bond holuing Democrats, insist that, as they have announced a willingness to pretermit the expression of tlicir views on the finance question, that the party should he willing to take some safe half way place on negro suffrage upon which Mr. Chase could con sistently bland. To this end they propose that the Con vention shall recognize negro suffrage in the South, upon the ground that it is already established by law, aud has been exercised by the negroes in the formation of the several State Constitutions. They admit that the laws under which the negroes have exercised this right in the South are illegal and unconstitutional. But they say “how can we prevent their voting ?” “They have voted and will con tinue to vote.” Well, suppose they have voted, and that j they will vote in the Presidential election, j Does that make it right and legal for them to vote ? Is that a sufficient reason why the Democratic party should make themselves accessories ajter the fact to this great crime committed against the rights of the white people of the South and the Constitution of the United States? The World says, in apologizing for the contemplated treachery to true Democrat ic principles, that “it would be suicidal to to put into tbe platform any declaration which the Radical demagogues aud stump orators could use to turn the negro vote against us.” Here, then, we have the bold avowal that the Democratic party must not presume to take high constitu tional ground on this question for fear that j by so doing they may lose the negro ; vote. It the World believes that the negroes j of the Southern States have the right to . vote, it ought, to be consistent, to throw its : weight aud influence with the Radical i party. If it believes negro suffrage is ] wrong, it should insist upon no prevarica tion by the party upon this question. Tho advocacy of Mr. Chase as a suitable ; candidate for the Democratic party in- . voives a departure from true Democratic j principles, and cannot be consistently j urged. Mr. Chase, in his recent letter, expressed the hope that the Democratic j party will advance to* the grand idea of 1 universal suffrage, and that its .platform will be in accordance with this great prin ciple. He clearly intimates that, anxious as he may be for the nomination, he will j not accept it from tho Democracy unless their platfor in conforms to his views upon this question. Let the Democratic party look within its own organization for a candidate, and then there will be no trouble or sacrifice of principle in fixing a platform for him to stand upon. __ From Florida. radicals reorganizing the state without permission of congress ou THE MILITARY—INAUGURATION OF THE GOVERNOR THE LEGISLATURE—GEN ERAL NEWS. We learn from the Floridian of the 9tli that Harrison Reed, the Radical Governor elect, was sworn into office and delivered his inaugural address on the Bth instant. ThelLegislature (so-called), attempted to meet on the same day, but had no quorum. New arrivals, however, would put them on a better footing the next day. The mili tary authorities insisted that the re organizers should hold off and wait until the Congress should authorize their pro ceedings by the passage of the Omnibus bill, but Reed and his coadjutors were too much in a hurry to administer upon Florida, to tarry for the warrant even of a Radical Congress. Reed was sworn in by Judge Boynton, of the United States Court for the South ern District of Florida. His inaugural is brief and not particularly exceptionable. The Legislature stands : Senate —Radi- cals, 16 ; Democrats, 8. House—Radicals, 37 ; Democrats, 15—showing a Radical majority of thirty on joint ballot. The Legislature contains thirteen carpet baggers and nineteen negroc-s. The Savannah A~eu>s and Herald an nounces the death of Mr. Theodore Blois, and pays a fitting tribute to his memory and worth. He was a resident of feavan nah for about twenty-fivo years, and was connected'with the press of that city.

If they were “sparks’’ they were not electric sparks, or else the rod was not a good “conductor’’ to that seminary. A United States Soldier Killed. — A colored man named Gus, who keeps a barber shop near the Georgia Railroad Depot, got into an altercation with a Unit ed States soldier, named Merchant, on Thursday night last, and cut him so severely' with a razor in the bowels that he died from the effects of it on Friday. The negro, we learn, has been arrested. A respectable gentleman doesn’t like to have a heavy charge leveled against him, especially if it is in a gun - Exchange. Oh, he doesn’t caie it it docs nt “go ! off. ” Immigration into Cherokee Geor gia.—A correspondent of the Rome I Courier says: We have already experienced the benefit i resulting from the. immigration of Tennes ■ see and Virginia fanners into Cherokee : Georgia.

Mr Dear Snooks lam afraid you have made a mistake in publishing my let ter without making the proper correc tions. I want tbe peoplo to believe that i am a great man, and if you continue to publish my letters as they 3re written, you will rum my recitation. Now. this repitation I maintained at great hazards and no little expense, by beiug “mum," saying nothing to nobody, and keeping everything to myself. This was wise, wasn’t it, my dear boy ! But these plagued politicians have such a way of getting around a fellow, you know, and worming things out of him before he knows it. Isn't it dreadful ? But I think I rather got ern when I said it wouldn't do to have a policy now, because occur rences might occur in the next lour years that the policy adopted now would not do to adopt then. Wasn’t that cute, niv boy ! I tell you, if they want to get ahead of the Grants, they've got to know how to ride a bareback horse aud git up before 5 o’clock in the morning, I teii you! Talking about horses, hasn't the old man played the deuce? I thought he haci as much sense as I uaye, or, at least, enough to keep his mouth shut; but it seems I was mistaken, and the old man has gone to work to tear down the Chicaw go platform. (Please speii that word cor rectly; I can't tiud it iu Webster's on abridge and never can remember how to spell; aud Wade,the old fool! He’s always out when I want to know how to spell anything. He’s a great speller, Wade is; but all his Presidential hopes have j been dis -spelled-, while many of my j words they say, are mis -spelled.) j But to the old man. He wrote me a | letter the ottier day, referring iu glowing terms to my horsemanship aud i summersettiugs when a boy, and closed ! thus : “Now, my dear son, in view of your proficiency in this line, and the great | reputation I have given you in Bonner’s ! Ledger— iu fact, I’ve led yer iu to noto : riety, you young scamp, you I—as an equestrian, I think you will be able to fix ! some way to ride two horses going dif [ ferent ways at tho same time ; that is to I say, you can go for the nigger suffrage for the rebellious South, and agin it for the ! loyal North, That’s the kick, you little ■ scape-grace, ycu ! And, as for summer setting, you know you can’t be beat. Why, it’s only a short time ago you told a rebel General of Georgia that you were opposed to the Radical policy, and if you was President you would see that the South was represented iu Congress ; and then, turning over, you came down, iitir and square, on the Radical reconstruc tion plan. All ! Ulyss ! you are your father’s hope—you are, as one. of your sable brothers and supporters once re marked of his sweet-scented colored babe: “Him fader’s hope, him moder’s joy— Him darling little Radical boy !” That’s slightly altered to suit circum stances ; but the scent I meant is tho same.’’ That’s the way the old man wrote, aud now he’s talking aginst the platform and the Niggers, and if somebody don’t stop him, he’ll ruin everything. Do write to him, my dear boy, and see what you can do with him. By the way, I must tell you of a con temptible Copperhead joke which was passed off ou me the other day. The in fernal waiter at the hotel is a miserable, ignorant, deluded Copperhead Nigger. At dinner, he wiil insist on offering mo Peas every time I ask him for anything, i asked him the other day “what the devil do you bother me with your peas all the time for ? You know that I can’t bear peas.” .’ ‘•Ob, excuse me, sir,” said the contempt ible fellow’. “I saw in your letter where you said ‘let us have jieas,’ and I thought you liked ’em 1” Somebody sot him up to it, you bet. So no more from your Presidential friend, llyram Ulyss Snooks Grant, (President i. e. to bo.) Fine Fainting.— There is on exhibition, at the Bookstore of Messrs. Schreiner & Sons, a splendid work of art;from the hands of Dr. Kingsmore, of Perkins’ Art Gallery. It is an oil painting--a life-size portrait of Rev. Mr. Lamar, of this city, and is, probably, one of the handsomest works of the kind ever exhibited in this city. It can be seen at Schreiner’s, and is well worth a visit from the connoisseurs of art and the admirers of tho reverend gen tleman whose “ counterfeit presentment” it is.

Washington, June 13, p- m. — Secretary McCulloch responds to.Com wisrioner .Rollins, whose resignation is ; again returned, “that this communication is 1 partial because it attributes the present do- i ranged condition of the internal revenue ! service to the removals and appointments ! made by the President, while it must be 1 clear to the mind of the Commissioner that j this demonstration is attributable in part ! to the antagonism between the executive ' and legislative branches of the Government, i which has prevented harmony of action be- ' tween them in regard to appointments and j the Tenure of Office act; but mainly to the j high duties upon distilled liquors, tobacco, | &e., which have created an irresistible I temptation to fraud on the part of revenue [ officers as well as on the part of inanu- ! facturers, dealers and others. It is incor rect in that it. alleges that the numerous ' recommendations of the Commissioner for ! removals of assessors and collectors, even! for the grossest misconduct, had been al- ! I most always disregarded, while the truth j J is that in all cases in which recommendations ; for removals were accompanied by evidence : ofincomp tcncy or misconduct on the part I of the officers, the recommendations were j promptly responded to by the. President, i It is unjust and disrespectful to the Presi dent because the records of the Bureau show that the failing off of the revenues in i the districts in which removals were made i by the President in 1866, was not com- ! paratively greater.than in the districts ir. i which no changes took piace. That, in ! fact, the revenues of the fiscal year ending I June 30, 1867, during which the removals i were made, were entirely satisfactory, i coming up very closely to the liberal esti- ■ mates of the Department, whiie the de- j i moraiization of the service and the de- I ! dine of the revenues have chiefly occurred j i during the present fiscal year, long after j • the officers removed by the President had j ! been reinstated, or others whose nomina- | j tions had been approved by the iSenale, j ' had taken the places of the appointees of j j the President. It was for these reasons, j ; and no other, that the communication ! could not be received, and was returned :to the Commissioner. The return of it is i also justified by the fact that copies of it were sent to the Press before it was hand led to the Secretary. It must, therefore, j have been intended for the public rather than for the flies of the Department. Hugh McCulloch, ; Secretary of the Treasury Department, j June 13, 1868. I Marine News.
