OPDTIOYS or THE PBESS. TMa Bfclrt really the one thing desired, belnr capable of enduring any amonnt of crnshlne and acrubUnc without the slIgbLeet damage to its ahape." Golnfi JjoOv'i Book. "The 'Duplex Uliptic' 1b the ffreateet Improve- Wlio Sets Hie Fashions! The religious press very generally animadvert upon the prevailing fashions in female dress. We find in Brotherly Words, a religious journal, the following caustic words under the above heading: Whence come the fashions? Who is it that decrees, month by month, the style of woman's apparel, ruling the whole sex, in this regard, with sovereign sway? Not the imperial Eugenie, or other noble and high-bred dames, as you, gentle reader, may fondly suppose; but unhappy, dishonored women, the very mention of whom for your model in any way you would resent as an insult "The leadership of fashion," says a contemporary writer, "is entirely in the hands of a class of women who could not be admitted into good society in any country; who can never have the name of wife, and know none of the ties of family; these are the dictators whose dress, equipage, aud appointments give the law to France, and thence to the civilized world. Such was the confession of Dupin, made in a late speech before the French Senate, and acknowledged, with murmurs of assent on ail sides, to be the truth." This fact goes far to account for the caprice and extravagance of the female fashions of the day.

The women who inaugurate them are what are called lot cites in Paris a class who are baser than ordinary kept mistresses, and yet who regard themselves as superior to ordinary women of evil life. On them the millionaries, who only care for the passing pleasure of a few lavish fortunes. For many years there was s. severely-fought battle, between the loreites and the ladies of Paris as to who should set the fashions but as wealth and extravagance increased, the harlots triumphed, and now every change in the fashions is set by them. This accounts for the extravagance, the coarseness, and vulgarity of the chignons, the short dresses, and the naked breasts which are now "all the rage." These strumpets are strangers to any suggestions of prudence or delicacy.

All they core for is to keep alive, by ever-changing, striking effects in their personal appearance, the unhallowed influence which is their life. Hence come the lavishness, the eccentricity, the daring our monthly modes. Hence, fair reader, that newest fashion which so delights you, which you have been at so much pains to procure. Do you blush to learn its parentage? or do you rather reason with yourself that it matters leBB who makes the fashions than who follows them; because any mode whatsoever, when adopted by women of the superior class, becomes both respectable and charming? You probably take the latter view, for just such is the blandishment which fashion throws over our social faults. "Every oue does so," is an insidious foe, both to conscience and common sense, hoodwinking the one and beguiling the other into whic'l, looked at apart f--, jVaitor, custom, vroui'i us with shame.

It is painful to reflect that in moral England all this is perfectly understood, and that "fast" young ladies of good family think it a dashing thing to imitate this or that celebrated courtesan. These lost women are followed and marked in their drives by virtuous matrons and maidens, desirous of looking as much like them as possible. No wonder that a celebrated writer thinks we are on the verge of an entirely era. The harlot is now only half condemned, for she is imitated aud admired. THE TURF.

JiayThe project of abolish: Kentucky, after the fashion set in the abolition of the Southern States, is absurd and wild, as we have said elsewhere; the radical leaders of course will never attempt to execute it They dare not. Their fear of the Northern people forbids it The people of the North show unequivocal signs of rejecting the radical party for what it has already done in the way of abolishing States; any further step in this direction, and especially a step so extreme as the abolition of an adhering State that clung to the Union amid such teni.ptation3 and provocations as beset Kentucky, would be the last step of the party. The party would step into the grave. The radical leaders, we repeat, will never attempt to execute this travagant project; but their discretion cannot lessen the guilt of those who clamor for the execution of the project or of those who abet the clamor. Who are they? This question is easily answered.

The radical party of Kentucky clamor for the execution of the project; and the Third party abets the clamor. They are the recreants. The Cincinnati Gazette, discussing and maligning the Democratic ascendancy in Kentucky, says What is the remedy The same that we have applied to the rebellion in the other States, to just such an extent as may be necessary. First, adequate military protection for persons and property and all civil rights against the oppression and denial of justice by the rebel control of the legal powers. Second, the disqualification of rebels by act of Congress for all national and State offices.

Third, the enfranchisement of the blacks every where, by act of Congress. The necessity for this measure to create a loyal voting people is as great in Kentucky as in any oiher rebel State. Congress has the same power to establish the franchise by direct act that it has to require the States to establish it as a condition of restoration. We have seen the almost miraculous change worked in the rebel ruling class by this measure in the other States, and we have reason to -suppose that it will create a loyal popular power in Kentucky that will give the loi'al white men moral courage to make the contest boldly, by the backing of a party that can carry the State. Fourth, the requirement of entire submission to the laws of the United States, and their execution in good faith in all the State tribunals, as conditions for the withdrawal of the direct supervision of the National Governmeut.

These measures will probably be effectual. If they fail, then, as in the case of the terms by the other rebel States, the powers of the General Government are not exhausted, and it may do whatever is necessary for domestic tranquility and national security. If the party in whose hands the people who put down the rebellion placed the control of government to settle the war fail to secure this, they will be unfaithful to their trust If any are to bang back in this matter the people ought to know them before their is another election. Thus the Cincinnati Gazette clamors for the execution of the project. And the Cincinnati Gazette is the chief organ of the radical party of Kentucky.

Samuel McKee, in his late address to the people of the Ninth District, says: Why should Congress treat Kentucky different from any rebel State? The mistake of the administration was treating her thus during the war. Then the excuse was the conservative Union men of Kentucky must be conciliated. Now that they have been conciliated to such an extent as to join the rebel ranks and vote the rebel ticket, except a little squad not strong enough in this District to fill the local offices in each county, if they had them all, and the dLference between (hem and the rebels only that between "tweedledum" and "tweedledee," there is no longerany exense for the nation hesitating to stop the nullification of her laws in Kentucky, and taking steps to give her a government republican in form, and in conformity to the laws of the nation's Con For tlie Louisville An anonymous scribbler undertakes in the Journal of this morning to reply to an article in the Democrat of Sunday morning, in which the claim of superiority of the Union School Readers over Goodrich Readers by Noble Butler was discussed. The article in the Democrat was signed with the initials of Mr. Butler's name, N.

and every reader of the paper knew that he was the writer of it. This anonymous writer, who uses freely, the letter says, "it has been mentioned to me, at different times, that a change of Readers in the schools was desirable." By whom was this change recommended? By the Principals of the Ward Schools? No! By the parents of the pupils No Then by whom, if not his "secret An agent of a New York book-house did recommend a change after he thought that the Committee on Books had been arranged by his "secret friend" to suit bis views, and for which he had been quietly working for near eighteen months. This agent then called upon every member of the Board and presented a copy of his books, accompanied with verbal statements not always exactly true. To some of the Board he admitted that his publishers were willing to spend as much as ten thousand dollars to displace the Goodrich Readers and substitute the Union series of Readei-s-in this city, and gave as a reason for their liberality, that their success in Louisville would enable them without difficulty to make similar changes in New Orleans, Nashville, Mobile, and other points throughout the South where the Goodrich Readers are in use. All this is simply a solicitation to our School Board to co-operate in apian to transfer an important branch of Louisville industry, and the supply of the Southern demand for its products, from our own city to New York, or elsewhere.

Our citizens are requested to assist in breaking down a manufactory in their midst which annually expends in the city one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for paper made here, and for laborin manufacturing their books. This sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars flows into Louisville from States extending from Virginia to Texas. Very liberal the offer is to give ten thousand dollars to the citizens of Louisville if they will assist a New York house, in an effort to break down a rival establishment which has grown up in their midst! This anonymous writer says: "I don't know what State John P. Morton liOred by condescending to be in it, but his almost life-lcftg partiier, Mr. Griswold, is a Massachusetts Yankee.

Mr. Goodrich, the main compiler of the Goodrich-Butler series of Readers, was a Massachusetts man. The series was originally published in 'Yankee And, Mr. Butler is a native of Indiana, emphatically the Yankee State of the West." It is difficult to find anywhere in the same number of words as many misstatements, to use a word no stronger. For the information of the writer I will enlighten him on the only point in regard to which he has any doubt, the place of my nativity.

I was bom near Lexington, Kentucky. Mr. Griswold is not a "Massachusetts Yankee." It is not true that Mr. Goodrich was the main compiler of the Goodrich-Butler series of Readers, He never had any interest In the series, lid had no part in their preparation, and never saw the books until after their publication, when he expressed the opinio that he would rather have been the author of them than of all the books that he had writton. It is not true that "Mr.

Butler is a native of Indiana." It is not true that the Series was originally published in "Yankee land." From tbe reckless manner in which these statements are made I am inclined to think that the communication, though published without a name, was beneath your ballots that the hand of political resurrection will never reach the outcasts. This is all the harm we wish them, though no kind or degree of human punishment could equal their offence. "0, their offence is rank, it smells to heaven." The South is bare of money; Northern capital is idle or engaged only in speculation. It is refused to all applicants from the South in consequence of the general distrust which the radical organs have inculcated in relation to everything South. From ten to twenty-five per cent is frequently offered by planters and factors upon as good security as any that Wall street could give for funds required in the cotton and sugar culture.

Large and formerly very productive estates, some with very fine improvements, in Georgia and other cotton-growing States, are every day sacrificed under the hammer at forced sales. This distress for money will greatly aggravate the suffering for the want of food. Money is necessary to promote industry and encourage and pay labor. National Intelligencer. Such, says the Memphis Appeal, are the consequences of the overturning of Civil Government, of Sickles-and-Sheridan legislation, and of the menace of confiscation, which are completing the ruin of the South.

The annihilation of credit is almost complete, even here in Memphis. There is no confidence, no hope, no energy, now, in any bosom. All dull despondency, and gloomy fear and apprehension, or that apathetic indifference'to whatever may happen, which resembles the numbness of the muscles produced by long-continued and intense pain. Of course, credit being destroyed, which is every where the principal capital, and of which the prosperity of communities is born, financial ruin must follow. It is an admirable time for Jacobin emissaries to traverse a ruined country, haranguing the negroes, and insulting a ruined people with cheap advice droned out in Peck-sniflian lectures.

Rome (Ga.J Courier gives an account of a case in which Captain De La Mess, of the Freedmen's Bureau, interfered in the trial of Joe Thompson, freed-man, accused of stealing bacon. Judge T. J. Davis was prosecuting the freedman Joe Thompson for larceny before Judge Hood, of the County Court, and introduced a negro boy, some fourteen or fifteen years old, as a witness. Captain De La Mess, taking a lively interest in defending the accused, objected to the witness on account of incompetency.

Some discussion arose upon this point, and it was made to appear that the Captain himself, a few weeks since, convicted Judge Davis of assault and battery on the evidence of the same boy. The evidence of the boy was received, and the jury found the prisoner-guilty. The Bureau agent was very much offended at the verdict, demanded the names of. the jurors, a copy of the evidence, and said the negro should not be puuished, and that he should report the case to headquarters. The same paper learns that the military authorities there very decidedly disapprove the course of the Bureau Department.

It is to be hoped that they do. announces that he has put six military companies into flie field in Tennessee at the expense of the Federal Government, and, that he will take the responsibility of arming and eqnippi ng an additional number and ordering hem to service. In the meantime he is invoking Congress to make tbe necessary appropriations for feeding and clothing them. Brownlow publishes that he "will be elected" What he lacks in ballots, he menus to make tip with bayonets and bullets. 8The New York Herald learns by telegraph that the First National Bank of New Orleans, which recently had a debt of $112,000 due from Gen.

Wade Hampton and others. It A Man Kills his Wire and ChUd and Blows Out Uis Own Brains. The New Albany Ledger of the 2Sthcon tains the particular of a fiendish murder, which occurred near the little town of Derby, Perry county, Indiana, on the 22d inst: A man named Francis J. Smith, who formerly resided in Floyd county, and for a short time in New Albany, is the murderer and suicide. His wife, Mary, and his little son, Roger, were the victims of his fiendish malice and blood-thirstiness.

The murdered wife first met Smith in this county in toe latter part of the year 104. A short courtship followed, when they were married in 1363, and immediately removed to Perry county, near Derbj', where Smith owned a farm. For a short time they lived pleasantly enough together; but after the birth of the boy Roger, which occurred in December, ISGj, Smith frequently beat and abused his wife in the most shocking manner. He also treated the child with revolting cruelty, at one time holding it over a blazing fire untijitwas nearly roasted. The devilish spirit that actuated Smith to the perpetration of these barbarities was jealousy.

He frequently denied the paternity of the child, and accused his wife of improper intimacy with a man who resided in tbe neighborhood. Finally, unable longer to bear the persecutions heaped upon her by the brutal husband, Mrs. Smith left him and went to New York. She afterwards returned at her hush a ad 1 request, and upon -his promise to do better; but she was cruelly thrust from the house, and during the remainder of her life was a wanderer through the neighborhood, without any other home than what was given her through the charities of the people. On Wednesday last Smith met bis wife at the bouse of a neighbor, whither she had gone to seek assistance.

She had concluded to seek aid from the township trustee, and Smith told her he would accompany her to that officer's residence, to which she assented. It was just before noon when they started. Smith took her by a circuitous out-of-the-way route, through the woods, and kept her and the child with him until near ten o'clock at night, when he reached a dark and secluded ravine. Here he bade the poor, wretched, heart-broken wife sit down at the root of a tree. The woman obeyed, and the fiendish husband then told her that he intended to kill both her and the child.

The night was dark and it was raining, anu escape was vain. uat pen can por- tray the horror and 'agony of the mother therein that dark forest, alone with such. a desperado as menaced her. There horror in that scene beyond all powers, of Smith then proceeded deliberately to his work of murder. He seized a heavy stone, and with a single blow crushed in the skull of the mother.

Not yet satisfied, he seized other stones and hurled them against her head, until the vital spark had fled. With the same instrument of death he beat out the brains of the child. When both were dead he took the strings from. gether, tiita crossed bands over her bosom and tied them in that position. He next took the child and placed it alongside the dead body of the mother, and with the mother's shawl covered up the victims oT IliS Tllllrlomiio nuoolnn rl A -t uivtuci a icbiucuL-v, mw mues uLstani.

KENTUCKY SEWj, itrotnme Clarion, Sr.tli.; We are informed that tlm mis of stock in Springfield, on last Monday, was largely attended, and that over one hundred head were sold at good prices.

A Paris correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes: "The other night I saw a ludicrous instance of the progress of civilization consequent unon the exhibition.

I here came into 'he conrt of tho Grand Hotel one of the little Japanese grandees newly arrived and dressed in his civilized clothes. He cast a conscious glance at the groups of smokers and proraenaders, and tried to walk straight to his chamber in the Parisian style. The eS'ort was very evident His arms, hitherto used to flowing robes, would not swing properly in tight-fitting coat sleeves; his head was ill at ease in his beaver hat; besides, the peculiar formation of his cranium and the dressing of his hair allowed the stove pipe to stop on too far. His feet would not come down snug to the ground in his new boots, he was too accustomed to shuffling slippers; and he wanted to turn his toes out. He settled his collar, but it was more difficult to settle the gravity of his spectators.

Watson. Gbaso Jcbt Room, May, 1867. A project has been proposed for connecting Lakes Huron and Michigan by inland communication by river and canal across the northern part of Michigan. The route proposed is from the mouth of the Cheboygan River (which will need some dredging and single lock) up Mullet Lake, thence through the outlet of Burt Lake connecting with Mullet, thence to Indian Lake, either by the direct course of the connecting Btream, or, perhaps, by a short canal from the southwesterly shore ot I3urt Lake to tne east snore ot Indian Lake. The canal will render the passage Etill more direct The distance from In- dian Lake to Little Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan, is about a mile and a nan, ine two DOdies or water ed by a slight elevation of ground throuah which it is proposed to construct a cann.1, involving, however, no heavy The lakes above mentioned are laid down on some maps as Long Lake and Crooked Lake.

The course of the projected route would seem to be through the counties of Cheboygan and Emmett. Aside from the saving in the matter of distance above mentioned, it is claimed as among the advantages. of this route that it will be open earlier than through the Straits, that vessels can obtain an abundant supply of fuel, and, when farms are opened, an event which the establishing of this route wil'. hasten, agricultural products w.ill be abun-dunt, and, finally, that much dangerous navigation will be avoided. Admitt.infc.the entire of this projecne1 "advantages promised seem to be greatly over-estimated.

The saving of distance would be unappreciable, whilst the time would be no less than at present. When anything is done towards a substantial cut-off of this kind, it will more likely be by some route from the head of Lake Michigan to Toledo. That would be a short-cut worth something. nortiAXCE or a bed qi ilt. The Rockport (Conn.) Journal relates this: Two weeks ago we published the marriage in town of Captain Robert F.

Fiske, editor of the Helena (Montana) Herald, to a Miss Lizzie Chester. Since that time we have learned that there is a bit of romance connected with this affair, which is really worth telling. "When the war of the rebellion broke out, Mr. Fiske was a resident of the State of New York, from which State he enlisted in the Union army, and attained the rank of captain. In some of engagemeuU he was wounded andtak en to a hospital.

While thus confined, it appears that the ladies of onr town of Vernon were at work for the soldiers; and among other things they provided and Sent as hospital stores was an album bed-quilt, which contained the names of several ladies who assisted in its construction. As luck would have it this bed quilt chanced to find its way to the hospital, and to the very bed upon which the wounded Captain lay; and for amusement he copied the names, sending a lettar, or. his every ceiVird by a little eirl. who. as she coui not write herself, procurred the services of Miss Chester to reply.

We need not particularize further, bnt it was simply through the agency of tbe album bed-quilt mat (Japtatn inske nrst heard ot Miss i Chester, and nnw. nftpr thu Iinso nf tven 1 alis. iuhl jn ii ji i ii i rp nnq rii minnr ah in marriage, and the gallant officer has taken his fair lady to his home iu the West. Tin: fo Cnss vt. Blrca is making preparations to take the next census through the internal revenue organization.

Director Delraar has been superintending a series of statistical' excr-cii drills, the results of one of which affords a remarkable proof of the thorough organization- of the Department. He has actually taken ft csnsr.3 of trie numbers of the entire population of the country already, and that without any expense whatever, except some '0 for stationery. The censuswas quietly but thoroughly taken during the six we-ks of last November and December, and is in most Cases the result of actual count in over V0G internal revenue divisions. The do. tails will not be furnished to the public until after they have undergone careful revision and arrangement.

The returns from a few of the remote mountain districts of the country are the 6aly ones not deemed satisfactory. When it is remembered that the census of I860 cost $2,000,000, and required two years in which to announce its result, the quick nnd.cconomical accomplishment of this vait undertaking is not a little remarkable. The present census shows the total population of the thirty-seven States in November and December last to have been 34,200,255, and of the States and Territo- i ries taken together, In a majority of the Southern States there has been a decrement of population, in the Eastern States a small increase, and in the Western States a large increase. The results are supported in every instance by the State censuses of 16'5, so far as taken. The comparison with the census of 1860 is as follows: Thirty-seven 'States, a few of which were then Territories, numbered 31,218,021 inhabitants, and the total States and Territories 31,413,321.

The total increment since lotfO has therefore been 3,062,561, which, in view of the late extended conflict, demonstrates the extraordinary recuperative powers of the coun-' try. The population of the District of Columbia is given at 118,367. The proportion of tbe sexes in the District has not yet been definitely settled, but, so far as has been ascertained, there is a majority of several thousand females over males.

The Strakosch Opera Troupe, of which Parepa and Brignoli are head and front, left Chicago for Cincinnati on Sun day wornine at b' o'clock, via the Chicago and Great Eastern Railroad.

The train consisted of an engine and thres coaches. When it arrived at a point fifteen miles northwest of Logausport, Indiana, a broken rail was struck, the locomotive passing over it in safety. The three cars, however, were wrenched off and thrown over an embankment several feet high. Signor Brignoli sustained a severe contusion of the shoulder, which yesterday was exquisitely painful, and will disable him for several days. Madame Lagrassa, one of the choristers, had her collar-bone bad-ly fractured.

Approved, March 23, 1867. This morninga boy, nearly grown, waj brought into the Police Court by Officer Cleveland.

He was arrested as a suspicious character, but he proved to be an object of commiseration. He was evidently not more than half-witted. In one of his pockets he carried a large rasp, such as is used by shoemakers, and when asked what he carried the nisn for bp re plied that he carried it to swallow. With this hot placed the rasp in his mouth and gulped it down his throat. After letting it remain there for a short time he sent a very dirty hand down after it, and after feeling around in the capacious receptacle for awhile, he finally got hold of the rasp and withdrew it.

The effort was not unattended with pain, however, and the poor fellow's eyes soon overflowed with tears from the torture he suffered- He was discharged from arrest. He was a most pitiable looking object sans shirt, sans vest, and almost barefoot. And as he stared vacantly upon the court and stammered out his thanks for thedischarge from custody he had received, our heart was moved with pity at the man's misery. Truly, one half the world does not know in what abject poverty and distress the other half lives. Keic Albany Ledger.

SMITH, or HSBr. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, ISG7. The editor of the Democrat evidently realizes the fact that he and hU Third-party friends are chiefly responsible for the present agitation of the subject of the military reconstruction of Kentucky. Not a word was said in relation to that matter until he and his political associates sounded the key-note with their political pitch-pipes. They proclaimed that the Democratic party of Kentucky was a rebel party; they asserted that the candidates of that party were rebel they announced that those candidates, if elected to Congress, would be rejected by that body as rebels.

They not only announced the prospectire rejection of the candidates, but showed clearly that in their hearts they approved and would approve it. Here was professedly or pretendedly conservative authority for stigmatizing the Kentucky Democracy as rebel and asking the interposition of Congress for the ruling of the Kentucky delegation away from Congress. And even when the election was over, and when the result showed that the Democracy were more than two-thirds, probably more than three-fourths, of the whole population of our State, they still insisted, and actually with more vehemence than before, that the Kentucky Democracy, the overwhelming majority of our people, were rebels, and that the State was consequently a thoroughly rebel State, seeking to be represented by rebels in the national Capitol. They expressed their conviction that the success of the Democracy in electing their candidates would lead not only to the driving of our delegates from the Capitol but to the placing of our State under a military government such as exists over the Southern States. All this coming from avowed Conservatives, was quite enough to influence such radical malig-nauts as Sam McKee Co.

to vigorous action. There radica's, had they not been encouraged as they were by self-styltd Conservatives, would never have ventured upon the absurd and monstrous ground they have taken. But, under the influence of Tbird-Party leadership or Third-Party suggestions, they do not now hesitate as to their course. They asseverate that the Kentucky Democracy are a rebel Democracy, that Kentucky's elected delegates are rebel delegates, and that Kentucky is a rebel State a fit subject of the treatment due to other rebel States. So now measures are on foot, absurd and wild as the project is, for extending over Kentucky the bloody rod of iron that has for some time been wielded over the Southern States, and, if the justness of thoEe measures be questioned, their authors will be readyto vindicate themselves by citations of the authority of the Louisville Democrat and its accomplices, who, in fact, are wholly responsible for the threatened condition of things, the threatened iismantlement of Kentucky, the threat.med mingling of anarchy and despotism throughout all her borders.

No true Kentuckiau, no son of Kentucky who is not a bastard son, will say that she is a rebel State or that the myriads of her people who swept everything before them through all her bounds on the 4th inst are rebels or the allies of rebels. editor of the Democrat says that we "were snubbed in the election of Lincoln over JlcClellan in 1SIVI." Were we any more "snubbed" in that election than he was? Didn't he support JlcClellan against Lincoln as zealously as we did? If he did, how can he have so little sense of shame as to undertake to taunt is on account of SIcClellan's defeat and Lincoln's success? To what depth of political humiliation and degradation is he plunging? Does he think that he will never have dived far enough down into the political pool till he shall "bring up half the bottom on his The editor says that he washes his bands of the folly of the Democracy. He isn't likely ever to wash them of either folly or dirt. They are encrusted half an inch with the latter, and a whole inch with the former, lie to talk about oar being Who ever heard before of such a snubbing as he got at the late election Look at the vote cast for his candidates! About 0,000 in the whole State all tola! Only think of it! Consider what his political weight must be! Why, he is one of the political imponderables! Or rather, like a bladder of gas, he has a negative weight. iSTThe Democrat, so-called, asks the Kentucky Democracy not to disturb the world with its noise.

He need make no such request of the Third party. We should as soon think of petitioning a titmouse in a wood-pile not to annoy creation with its squeaking. ISUOur neighbor of the Democrat says that the radical party "has the It certainly has consu med him swallowed him at a gulp. And he sits very quietly npon its stomach, exciting as little of a qnalm as possible. He is contented with his quarters.

The Democrat says that the Third-party men are "for a party that will live hereafter." But a body so very small as the Third party can hardly have sonl enough in it to be entitled to expect a future life. JgrJudge Kelley's fright at Mobile had the effect of intoxication upon him.

s. Tlconlc 2 Two princes of Mormondom Brigham Young, and his brother, John Young, both sons of the Utah prophet and lawgiverare in Paris. They "have just received some fine specimens of cotton, tobacco, and other, agricultural products of Utah, intended for the grand Exhibition; but as yet, I believe, tbe American Commission has not permitted them to open them. They both state that the emigration this year to Salt Lake will be unusually large, and that it will be made up of a hardv, industrious population, in great part from Norway and Sweden and Germany. These two princes of Mormondom, who arc amiable, intelligent young men, apparently earnestly and devotedly attached to their peculiar principles, have now been some years in Europe, engaged in drumming up recruits and sending them to Utah.

The Salt Lake Saints pnythe passage of such persons as cannot pji; it themselves, with the understanding, of course, that it is to be repaid, and take particular care in making their selections to pick out healthy, hardworking, indus trious people, and they are thus filling np tueir i esiern territory witti a population which in any event will do much toward developing its resources. The Messrs. Young say that it is an error to suppose that the "Saints" are opposed to the Pacific Railroad; but that it will be of great service to them in increasing their population. They say that they do not fear from its influence any considerable influx of "Gentiles," as the attractions of Utah are not in any manner sufficiently great to induce persons to go there and settle, unless they were caken theie by some other motive than merely earning a livelihood, and think that they must be united with the majority bythe tie of a religious faith to make their residence there an agreeable one. Both these young men return soon to Utah.

The Whereabout or Stecial CoRitEsroxDEXT. As there is. some diffi? cnltyin ascertaining the precise whereabout of Mr. George Alfred Townsend, ow-ing'to the celerity and apparent ubiquity of his movements, we have pleasure in supplying the following information: Mr. George Alfred Townsend is now absent in Europe, where he witnessed the trial of Jefferson Davis, and the same evening entertained Count Bismarck athis residence in Philadelphia, taking a few notes from Louis Wiechmann upon the trial of the Surratts at the same time; bat he was enabled to witness, an hour afterward, the heroic conduct of the Cretans, in their repulse of Omar Pasha, and wrote us a description of the same from our newly acquired Russian-American possessions.

Kac York Citizen. gress. Thus Samuel McKee clamors for the execution of the project. And Samuel MeKee is the acknowledged exponent of the sentiments and principles of the radical party of Kentucky. The Lexington Statesman, among other things of the like import, says: Kentucky will not have to play the rebel role much longer before a stronger hand will be laid upon her that will cure her of her disloyal ways.

She sadly needs reconstructing, as much so as any other Stale, and it is more than probable that she will get it. Thus the Lexington Statesman clamors for the execution of the project. And the Lexington Statesman is the central organ of the radical party of Kentucky. A Kentucky radical, writing under the signature of "PniLius" to the Cincinnati Commercial, thus joins in this clamor: The present attitude of Kentucky, if at all intelligible, affords conclusive proof that the position she assumed in the outset of the rebellion was a mistake. To have been consistent she ought to have seceded with tbe other Southern States.

Jn that event she would have been whipped with them, and now permitted to enjoy the privileges and immunities of the Reconstruction Act; aud notwithstanding our treachery has been such that we do not deserve so rich a boon, it is to be hoped that the General Government will still extend to us that leniency which has characterized our relations during the entire struggle, and speedily bring our State under the protecting of those wise provisions which have been made for reconstructing and restoring to their peaceful relations the seceded States. If there be sufficient reasons why those laws should be enforced in the South, those reasons apply with still greater force in Kentucky. And thus the Kentucky radicals in general join in this clamor. The clamor is emphatically their clamor. But it is abetted by the Third party.

The Louisville Democrat of yesterday, referring to this project in connection with the malicious falsehoods under cover of which the project is advocated, soys, repeating these very falsehoods: We should be glad to throw a vail over their Democrats' transgressions, if it would hide them; but as they have made suth a parade over them, we give it up as vain to try to conceal them. They met at Frankfort, proclaimed their origin, talked of being State rights Democrats, knowing that everybody understood what they meant bv State rights, glorified John C. Breckinridge, cheered everything that savored of the lost cause, filled up a State ticket with men notoriously not Union men, and because thev were not, met in Congressional Districts and nominated Representatives for Congress notoriously not Union men, and because they were not, except in a single instance, when their discretion got a little the better of their valor. i Well, all the world knows the facts. It is an organization got up to indorse the rebellion and place the State iH the hands of its supporters and sympathizers.

It is to show to the rest of the States that now, that the rebellion is over, Kentucky testifies her regret for its failure by electing as her representatives onlv thSse that were for it. Thus the Louisville Democrat abets the clamor for the execution of the project. And the Louisville Democrat is the organ of the Third party. Kentnckiansl behold the enemies of Kentucky. Mark them; consider their recreancy; and, when the first Monday of August comes round, bury them so deep written by M.

It is not kuown yet whether any of the President's Cabinet will accompany him on this trip: Mayor's Ofvh-e. Raleigh. N. May 15, 13G7. I To Ifis Excellency Andrew Johnson, I'resident of the United States: As Mayor of Raleigh, I have the honor to communicate to your Excellency the desire of our City Council and of our citizens generally that you should be present with them on the fourth day of June next at the erection of a monument to your father, the late Jacob Johnson.

Your native city invites you to be her guest. Our old men desire to recall with you their earlier and happy days; to look back beyond tbe last few years of sadness and sorrow, and live again in memories of youthful athletic sports, in which they and you were wont to engage. Our young men desire to see the face of oue who furnishes the brightest example of what they may hope to accomplish by the exercise of persevering industry, united with moral worth, and all desire to honor the man who has so nobly striven to restore the alienated States to their ftriner places in the grand old Union. Allow, me, honored sir, to add to this official request my own individual solicitation that your native State and city may be permitted to give you a personal welcome. I have the honor to be your Excellency's most hnmblo and obedient servant, WM.

DALLAS HAYWOOD, Mayor. Executive Maxsiox, May 22, 13G7. Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 15th inst, and thank you for the cordial terms in which, as the representative of the citizens of Raleigh, you ask me to visit that place. I accept the invitation of my native city to be her guest; and, deeply grateful for the respect in which they hold my father's memory, will endeavor to be present with your citizens on the 4th day of June next, the day set apart forthe erection of a monument to commemorate his worth. I am, very respectfully and truly, yours, ANDREW JOHNSN.

To Hon. William Dallas Haywood, Mayor of Raleigh. "I never knew but one woman," said Sir Robert Walpole, "whom I could not bribe with money. It was Lady and she took diamonds." is not strange that the concern collapsed. 8" The Mobile Mayor and Chief of Police did everything they could, during the riot in that city, to put a stop to it, yet Gen.

Pope has ren oved them. The freed- men have to quit all kinds of work to realize that they are free, and such functionaries as Gen. Pope must be all the time exercising despotic power to convince themselves that they possess it. ISTWe are indebted for a number of valuable public documents to Senator Guthrie, who, though detained from his seat in the Senate by bodily infirmity, is not in the least unmindful of his constituents. His health, we rejoice to know, is gradually improving.

He will no doubt take his seat at the next session of the Senate. the Dis-Hon. Sam McKee is the most vindictive of all the enemies of Kentucky at time. And he has, unfortunately, the same advantage over ber that Tom Thumb had over the cow that swallowed him. He wages his warfare inside of her instead of outside.

says Grant stole the term "bottled-un" from him. Butler certainly gave at Dutch Gap a striking practical illustration of the meaning of the term. It is a part of the business of butlers to bottle liquors, but the Dutch Gap Butler bottled himself. IS?"

But his mother Nature, when she created him, uttered this solemn injunction: "Be foolish." And, like a good son, he has obeyed his mother.

When it threw him and his friends flat upon their backs, the ihroK wasn't at all melancholv except to the victims. war-cloud seems to be casting its red shadow between the New Orleans Times and the New Orleans Crescent. It is to be hoped that the lurid spectre of the air will pass off without any thunder and lightning. Our Governmnt, while fitting up League Islaud at a good deal of expense as a depot for the iron-clads, sells the iron-clads themselves.

Is that first-class financiering? Davis has had to give bail that he will stand trial. Would the Government be willing to give bail to grant him a trial?.
