Wednesday, Jan. 5, 18VO. The Cincinnati CatAoh'c Telegraph elates that an effort will be made at (bo Ecumenical Conncil toimne a decree prohibiting any masic bat plain cbaunt iu the services of CborcL. The Tele graph aoy change. A bill for the admiwioo of Colorado ns State io the Union hM been prepared, and will be introduced when Congress roasserableB.

A similar bill has twice passed Congress, bat failed each time to receive President Johnson's signature. An itonocent, very innocent Democratic paper in Georgia tbinka that the Legislature, it convened by Governor Bullock, withootrestraint Congress, would have done what Congren bus cot quite no innocent, took care to insure a certainty. Cad. T. Barn, formerly of this town, was elected to tht Legislature of Texns from Grimes County of that State, by a large majority.

Mr. Uarn ran ahead of his own ticket, as well as that of his opponents, showing popularity which is very gratifying to bis olfl friends in He is also a thorough-going Republican, which ia more gratifying. It is announced that the Democrats of Champaign county, Ohio, are running- Harry Ford, a colored man. for State Senator from that District. The tickets have printed upon them the remarkable aphorism that "if he is white enough to vote he is white enough to be voted for." It happens that the District is very strongly Republican, wliicb lact is the only thing calculated to throw suspicion upon the earnestness of the nominating party.

Seward and bis travelling party have nearly concluded their trip trough Mexico, and on the 2d of January will embark for Havana. At the last advices they were journeying towards Yera Cruz, passing the historic localities of Pnebla. Tlascala aud Orizaba. Mr. Seward's tour ban extended from the Atlantic seaboard to Alaska and thence down the Pacific coast to Mexico, and his home ward con rue is by way of the West Indies.

The ancients proclaimed that Mermaids, Njrnphs, Naiads and the Graces had long, flowing tresses which made them envied by their sisters of earth. But they arose out of the sea foam or bathed in fountains reached by no mortal bands and kepr tbeir locks of deify toftness, dark and lustrous, and thus bad no need of Ring's Vegetable Anobroaia, which is doing the same tbing for thousands of people iu our day. The Baltimore American, on the day of the New-Year, came to as in at enlarged form, tour columns having been added to its size. There may be some larger daily papers than the American, but there arc few, it' any. better ones in the country.

Its matter, both original and selected, is always fresh and entertaining, embracing events and subjects which are most interesting to the largest number of readers, whilst the politcal principles which it BO ably advocates in a communi ty bitterly antagonistic to them, entitles it to the patronage of every true friend. of those principles in the State- Mr. Btantou died, leaving little or no means beyond the bouse the family live in, and three of the children are under fourteen years of age. A meeting of several of his intimate personal friends has been held at the residence ot Hon. Samuel Hooper, at which it was determined to place the sum of (100,000 to the credit of Mr.

Stan ton's family by New Year's Day. President Grant on Monday subscribed $1,000 for tbia object. So long as the late Secretary lived be steadily refused to permit hia friends to do any act of this kind, but they are now at liberty to do for bis family what he was himself unable to do for them. The low rases at which wheat DOW rules at West may be seen from the following list of prices paid fur it at different points in Iowa: Davenport 05 cents, Dabnqne 50, Clinton 55, Des Moines 35, Keoknk 65, Cedar ItnpicU 40, New Hampton 58, Mason City 45, Charles City 55, Strawberry Point 50, Bellevaw 60. ludependouce 30, Cedar Falls 45, Eldorado 40, Monticello 40, Ana- moMt 46, Elkader CO, Waverly 55, Marion 45, Manchester 55.

The average of the prices is nearly 50 per cent, lees than wheat commanded in gold times before the war. Let the industrious and economical Naw Englander or New York fariter examine this figures before be decides to emigrate to the "Great West." If be is uot careful he will find, whea too late, that he is a little too Jar West.

Compare the above with the market reports in this paper, and we think any man of ordinary intelligence can eee at a glance that more money is to be made by farming in Virginia than in Iowa. We eay nothing of the superiority of our climate to that of the North or West--it ia acknowledged by Advertiter. Standing upon the threshold of 1870 and looking back upon the year that has nearly drawn to a clone, it contains scarcely any memories so everlasting as those of the famous dead, who during its cycle have been gathered to tbeir eternal rest- In these twelve months death bas been busy amongst those who have filled exalted military aud civic positions in 'our country's government. Tbe last of our cx-Preaident'a who bad received their office direct from the hands of the people was Franklin Pierce; Admiral Stewart Mid General Wool were the nation's oldest servants ia the navy and army, and nearly the only ones who beld high stations in our last conflict with Great Britian, while aix statesmen have died, who as Cabinet had exercised a powerful, and almost controlling influence upon national policy. Messrs.

Fessenden. Walker and Guthrio were Secretaries of tbe Treasury; Messrs. Stanton and Rawlins- bad directed tbe War Office; Atnaa Kendall Lad been Postmaster General, and when 1869 bad nearly rod its course, there passed away the man who; bad bis life been spared, would have sbowc as brilliantly iu jurisprudence as bad already done iu tbe management immense Mr. Peabody's remains are on tbe way to his native country, and Henry J.

I am, fir, with high reipect, your obedient (errant, ODKH BOWIE. We presume Mr. Garrett refuses to pay over tbe above receipts, which the charter of the road requires liirn to do on tbe ground tlint it is a cajiitatidn lax on trav- ellers, which the of the United Stutca decided uo State has a right to impose. It may be a question whether tbe "one-fifth of (lie passenger travel" a capitation tax. It may be construed by the Courts to be a tax upon the gross travel receipts of tbe road am- mounting to one-fifth aud not strictly a capitation tsz.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad evidently uicnns to show fight on tbia question, and not pay more ot this rax until the question ot its constitutionality is definitely decided by the tribunal of last report io the premises. In the meantime, what is to become of the financial wants of our Democratic rulers Governor Bowie says "Me condition of Treasury is such thul in view of the meeting of the General Assembly now approaching, this money is absolutely needed to provide for its Wbat has become of all tbe funds raised by our direct taxes! What lias become of tbdt portion of tlie $4.000,000 defence loan, rnias-callcd such, which has been thrown into the State Treasury by "reimbursing" i i gone, disappeared, swallowed up, so tbnt there is nothing in ihe Treasury to meet tho eiponscs of the "approaching session" of (lie Legislature. If our Democratic law- makers depend upou tho payment of ibis disputed tax by the Baltimore mid Oltio Railroad for the means ot defraying tlicir personal expenses, or to meet any faucy appropriations they may bave in view, end disappointment is doomed speedily to overtake tlirsi. Mr. Garrett has evidently no idea of paying one cent for the present.

He is not the man to be conxed ortreiglitenrd into doing a i of the kind. What is to be tlio finnrtcinl fate of State for present at least, aud what that of our Democratic law-makers If it be true that "money makes the mare go," the State and our rulers are in imminent peril of coming to a dead halt, a positive stand still, with no inclinations to go back and no money to go forward with. Perhaps io this dilemma we shall see a second resort to the "Defence Loan" policy, which tbe last Democratic Legislature found so convenient. If all be true which Governor Bowie intimates, such a measure will litterally be a defence loan, as it will be ft defend our makeTM troru the nonpayment of their per diem. It is said all is well tbat ends well.

The sulject of the payment of the capitation tnx on the Washington road by tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, In the HuntiTllle (Ala.) Democrat, Dec. the distinguished anil honored representative of tbe "Lost Cause," came up from Memphis on the train which reached here at 1:30 P. M. to-day. Ho was on his way to visit Hon.

C. C. Clay, at his plantation (where he now nearGnrleysville, twenty miles east, of Huutaville. It is hoped that lie will find it convenient, before his return to Memphis, to visit our city, where he will be sure to receive a hearty welcome. A gentleman who was OB the train with Mr.

Davis relates the following affecting incident: An Irish widow, who had two children With her, walked up to the ex- President and asked "Ia this Mister Jefferson Davis "Yes, madam," he replied. "Well, sir, I lost my husband in tliti cause which you espoused, and" (giving him a hearty shake of the hand, with the tenrs trickling down her cheeks) "I feel just like I was meeting with my lather." She gave the name of her deceased husband, and Mr. Davis recollected him as the gallant Major of a Confederate battery. She said she had been broken op by Wilson's raid, and was now trying to gat back with her children to her old home iu Georgia. The ei-Presi- dent and other gentlemen were moved to tears by the affecting incident, and contributed money to help her on her way.

Tbe Irish widow evidently understood her business a good deal better than Jeff. did his when he undertook to run tbe Southern Confederacy. Such affecting incidents are often met with, but are not generally deemed of sufficient importance for a newspaper paragraph. WESTERN ENACTMENTS COJJCEHNING Western paper in crowing over tbe fact that the woman's rights movement is gaining more ground io tbe West than in the East gives utterance to the following remarks i i tbe past ttvo weeks laws have been made for the protection and advancement of women iu three widely separated localities of the great West. Whether their right of ttufirage in i will have that effect remains to be seen such is its ostensible purpose.

Tho two other enactments referred to may not be recognized by the prominent strong-minded women of the country as largely conductive to tbe exaltation of tbeir Bex. Other people generally will hail them as moat necessary and righteous steps to be taken ia behalf ot womankind, nod for a better condition of society. The city of Omaha now absolutely prohibits, either in theatres or concert saloons, all descriptions oi tho popular ballet-girl shows, known as "log drama." And the-city of Sacramento bas passed an ordinance that no females shall be employed to attend in the beer saloons after twelve o'clock at last will appear to many an improvement so trifling as to be almost ridiculous. But, softly it is a great thing for Sacramento to do. Next thing she will extinguish tbe pretty waiter girl system entirely.

While tbe East produces ponderous magazine articles, holds conventions, raves vaguely about "social science," and theoriEfaio endless recondite disquisitions for improvement of civil aud social affairs, the West quietly does tbe work. A few of the Democratic newspapers have had the decency to speak of the talents and services of the late Secretary Stanton in respectful terms, but tbe majority bave blackguarded him. Some of the more foolish have gone so far as to assert or iptimate tbat his death was a judgment or punishment sent upon him for bis agency in the execution of Mrs. Suratt. As we are all born to die, "as the sparks fly upward," so these editors will soon or later be called upon to pay the same debt of Nature as Mr.

Stanton, and then, possibly, some ill-natured cur may bark over their graves. connection with the absence of any prxurlnlon fsr tbe payment of a alinilur tux by the PoVomac Ruilroad Company, will probably be one of earnest dlicnsslon. A. bill to the city of Baltimore to levy tax to ppawlde for an tip- proprluUon for tlie Improvement of Jones falli. and another to anlborlxo the city tu make a conditional loan of to the Virginia Valley Railroad, both to be lubmltted to the vote of tbe cltirens of Baltimore, will no doobt be presented early in tbe sestlon.

An effort will also be made to obtnln legislation to authorise the city to aid, bv a loan of $1,300,000, tbe com plctlon of the Western Maryland Railroad. "Tbe contest for the, office of State Treasnrer will probably an eiciting one between tbe of Robert Fowler and John Merrytnan, Esqj. as It Ia known tbat tbe extraordinary and not at all creditable feature in the late election for tbe Legislature was an Attempt to mnke the membership for thnt body dependent solely on attberqjjce to one or otbcr of these gentlemen for that pofilioi). Sueb a spectacle was really deirrsdlDg In oar politics--prcsentlnK practically the appearance that the treasurer was to elect the Legislature rather than the Legislature elect tbe treasurer. It IB probable that tbe State may get along even though neither of tbese worthy gentlemen should hereafter be iu we, note that Col.

John K. Longwell, of Carroll, Gen. Luther Glddlngs, of Anne A del, and Thomas H. O'Neal, of Frederick city, will also be pressed by their respective friends for the office." We should have been glad if the Sun bad also suggested a modification of the present Registry Law. A more imperfect measure wnn never pat upon the statute books of any State.

Many of onr best citirens at tbe Inst election were denied the right to vote simply because of tbe errors of Registrars. Some power ought certainly to be givi-n to tho judges of election to correct these mistakes. We hope also that the Legislature will take immediate measures to pass a law allowing the voters of Baltimore city to decide whether they will assist tho Western Maryland Railroad Company to complete its road to Hagerstown. Tbe amount of funds necessary for this pnrpose would be comparatively uinull indeed, and it would unable tbe road to enrn ae much again aud more too, tbaa it now docs on its entire line. Every consideration of self- interest and economy should iuduce tbe citizens of Baltimore to sue that tbia is done.

The Cumberland Valley Railroad is now busily engaged in extending its rond to the Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal, and will during the coming summer or fall have it in i order. What is, therefore, of prime necessity for tbe present, is tlie completion of tbe Westeru Maryland Railroad to Hagerfttown. By the time its authorities can do tliis i tbe utmost despatch, they will fiud a road to give them access to the conl trade of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, over which we have no doubt they can make arrangements to run their cars on accomo- dutiug terras. Let tlie road eoapleted to Hagerstown at once. On Thursday evening a young lady named Bothatn, who bad been seduced by a man named McNash, visited big boarding house, at Wheeling, and calling him out, detnHDded tbe i of hia marriage promise.

Upon his refusal she drew revolver and shot him through the bowels. She then surrendered herself to the authorities. McNnsh will not recover. He wna to marry another lady in a few days. For many years past the first week in January bas been observed by Christians in various parts of the world as a season of special prayer.

This observance is now taking place according to pro- gramme adopted by tbe Evangelical Alliance ot tbe United States, embracing subjects for prayer and discussion each day.

JVcii; Reliyitiiis Sect, Tho Albany Knickerbocker gives an account, of a new religious sect which has just been organized near that, city, which bids fair to outrival the, Shakers in the way ol attractions i the coming season. This party is composed of uien nnd women but instead of there being a di viding line, they mingle together in a love least sort of style. Music is i Lobby, aud through its influence they all expect to be saved.

The members are principally musicians of some sort, and those who are not blow upon horns to thu full extent and powers ol their lungs, in the hope that rile noise, if not the sweetness of their notes, will secure their salvation. The members ol tbejnew society are now engnged in practice for the summer of 1870. A friend ot ours, who was present at the late rehearsal, nays it was the beating of buss drums, blowing of trombones, flutes, pipes, knocking the great peace jubilee into a cocked hat. It was lent lul. There was no harmony or order, bur.

all banged nnd blowed away on their own hook. One person ia selected as chief. He ia the fuvornd onti of the order, dressed like the apostles of old, who is elevated upou a plntform, and instead of using a wand as leaders of oicbestras usually do, be swung a huge mallet, which came down w'itb groat upon some arrangement that vibrated for anil near like the echo of huge bell or heavy piece of ordinance. Tkre whole arrangement resembles a great bnrlbscjne, but the Knickerbocker'a informant says lie never saw a more earnest collection of devotees, or met with a more frierjdly set of deeply.

Exe.ciHioti of Titus. We have already given a brief notice of execution of Adam Titus, at in the 22J but give a fuller account of it from our exchanges: "Ou the 30ih oJ December 1808, Henry Stamin visited Adam Titus, at ihu house of the i i a of a Mrs. Fry, residing near Shippensbnrg. It ap- peurs that Titus was a reckless i i dent fellow, who ofteu borrowed money ofStiimm, with whom he i i i a and who had considerable funds. Titus made another a upon his friend's liberality on this occasion, but.

was refused, at which he seemed somewhat the afternoon ot tke same day he and Siiimm to the woods to evit wood, aud iu the evening Titus came home, alone, i I tint lie had le.ft Slum in iu tbe woods. The next day he was away portion of the nod upon i said he had left Stamui in town, that they bad hud a quarrel, and on the day following, in company i his wit'o he went to Shippunsbiirg and made of purchases. On the next day he went to ilie woods i a shovol, and upon bin return he went to town, and thu auspi cions of Mrs. Fry being excited, and she followed bis foot-steps in the guow to the woods, and having discovered evidences ot murder, she gave thu alurm. aud upon search being made, the body of Stamtn was discovered, buried under the earth and snow, with the skull crushed and the head almost severed from the body.

Upon being arrested nud brought, before his victim, Titus admitted tuat lie bad killed Stainin, and when he was brought before the Court far trial, contrary to the advice of his council, be pleaded guilty. After hearing the case nnd thoroughly deliberating upou it, the Court, in August, adjudged the prisoner to be guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentenced him to be hung. Governor Geary having fixed the time for hia execution on Wednesday, the 22d he was on tbat day hung in the jail yard ut Carlisle, Sheriff Thompson executing the sentence of the law in presence of a which he had summoned for the occasion, the prisoner's spiritual advisers, several physicians and a lew spectators. The execution took place at twenty minutes before two o'clock. It is stated that death of the criminal must have been instantaneous, as there was no straggling, and but a slight contraction ol thu limbs.

Titus had prepared a fare-well address, which he requested Deputy Sheriff Bow- mau to read, and which was done just before the gailty man was launched into eternity. The following a address: MY desire to say a few words to you before I die. I have always of the IliTHl.l nnil Torch I A I 3li, Senators nnd Representatives remaining in a i over tin; holidays, have a grand opportunity to cook up bills and measures to present, ar the convening of ou ilie i i and us far as my observations goes. I assure you they are a i good their i in i i 11OAIS. There seems to be a great deal of jealousy on the part of Massachusetts people, growing out of i action of the Semite on thu i a i of Judge Hoar for tlie U- S.

But tlioec dictations were jnade per request of the President, the'name MS tho appointments from most of the other members of tlie Cabinet, and the only, difference ia that Judgcship appointments are generttlly for a longer period, and perhaps considered more iiuportent.
