In these States there is no guessing how many old members may yet decline, or be slaughtered by 'rotation' and love of novelty. It appeals for the return of such faithful men as Boutwcll, Dawes, Ames and Baldwin, Jenckes and Dixon, Stevens and ELi, of New England ; Van Wyck, Kelsey, Marvin, Cornet, Ketcham and Selye, of New York ; Allison of lowa, Judd of Illinois ; Washburne, Paine, and S twyer, of Wis consin. Young men ought to have a fair chance, and where clearly better than present members let them come in. But why rashly experiment ? Re construction is threatened, finances are unsettled, and—whether Grant or Seymour be President—. this is no time to fill the house with recruits and run the risk of finding them bad or indifferent." General Van Wyck has absolutely declined a nomi nation, and the Hon. E. M. Madden, of Orange County, will be selected as candidate for the Re publican party. The elections in Vermont have been hailed with great rejoicing by the Re publicans, which the result in Maine will con siderably increase. Returns from the Governor's vote in Vermont have been received from 208 towns, with the following results :—Page (Rep.) 39,698, Edwards (Dem.) 13,725, Page's majority, 25,973. Thirty-three towns remained to be heard from. Reports from 194 towns show that 185 Re publicans and 7 Democrats have been chosen to the Legislature, while in four cases there is no choice. The National Intelligencer gives the following figures : Democrats. Radicals. 1867 11,576 31,986 1868 15,552 42,000 1864 13,321 42,412 —annou nein g this to be " truly a small victory to brag of. The real victory is with the Democracy, who, without any effort have gained in greater proportion than the Radicals, who put forth every pos sible effort to make some sort of a set-off for the splendid Democratic achievement in Kentucky." The Spring field Republican says :—" In regard to the Presidential canvass the news from all parts of the North and West is in the highest degree cheer ing. The good feeling induced by the Vermont election will be deepened by the result in Maine." Mr. Greeley says the country counties in New York will give Grant and Colfax 100,000 majority, which New York city cannot overcome ; Pennsylvania and Ohio are sure to go right ; and there is even a chance that Grant and Colfax may carry New Jersey and Delaware. At Wilmington, in the latter State, the Republicans have just elected municipal officers by a majority increased 100 over last year." "In the last few days of the can vas;:,." observes the Nation, " the Republicans i n veroont began to hope that their last year's majority could be increased by five or six thousand. Outsiders supposed them mistaken. The election comes in a busy time of the year for a rural population ; the weather has been hot ; the Democrats had not a ghost of ti chance of carrying the State ; and, altogether, it seemed likely that Republican carelessness would give " gaials" for the World, and " Behold, how brightly breaks the morning !" would be in capitals in all the Dem - cratic papers. But every Republican was out ; in the heaviest vote ever cast the gain on last year's vote is probably nine thousand. This is be cause Hampton and Vallandigham were permitted to make themselves the present leaders of the Demo cratic party. Practically the people are asked to say that we ought to give the negro back to his old owner, and substitute a South Carolina Black Code for the Civil Rights Bill. On that issue Vermont at any rate seems to have its mind made up. The effect will no doubt be good in Maine, and we dare say there are more Republican voters in Pennsylvania this morning than two days ago." Nothing official has been heard from the recent Idaho election, but the whole Democratic ticket has undoubtedly been chosen. The State election in Tennessee will occur on the sth of November, having been changed from August 10 by the pre sent Legislature. Speaker Colfax and Governor Bross were to address the people on the politics of the day at the following places in Colorado : Fairplay, Thursday, August 27 ; Oro City, Fri day, August 28 ; Granite, Saturday, August 29 ; Canon City, Tuesday, September 1; Pueblo, Wednesday, September 2 ; Colorado City, Thurs day, September 3 ; Denver, Monday, September 7. General Grant remains at Galena, where the re port now is that he will stay for five or six weeks. Seymour follows his example, being quietly settled upon his dairy farm at Utica. Senator Fessenden made a great speech . at Portland, Maine, on the 31st August. He there came out strongly for the Republican ticket, and made no uncertain sound on the financial question. "The payment of inte rest," he said, " upon our bonds in coin was re solved upon, because it was evident that the price of paper must fluctuate greatly during the war ; payment of interest in coin is plain proof of the intention of the creators of the bonds to pay princi pal in coin. Nobody," he said, " ever dreamed that the principal of this debt was to be paid in promises. No court nor any living man, to my knowledge, supposed so." The greater weight is given to these words as Senator Fessenden was Secretary of the Treasury when some of the bonds were issued, and he remembered advising to use the word gold, so that no doubts could hereafter arise ; but it was not considered necessary by others; the language of the law being such that everybody inferred from it that the principal was to be paid in coin. He thus concluded his able speech :—" Discharge at once and for ever all idea of tampering with your obli gations. If anybody advises you to repudiate, repudiate the repudiator." Henry W. Beecher, in correcting a statement of his which had been gar bled in a Democratic paper of Ohio, wrote the following endorsement to the Republican candi date Peekskill, August 13, 1868. Dear Sir,—You ask me whether I wrote the following sentence : "The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in the closing sen tence of a letter to the editor of the Boston Daily Adver tiser, utters an honest sentiment in the following " There will be no third candidate between Grant and Seymour. It will be a fair fight between rugged (Demo cratic) honesty and plausible craft. "--Coshocton Democrat. I did not. The word (Democratic) was interpolated by the editor of the paper from which it comes, on purpose to deceive his readers. I regard Grant as an upright, honest man, of good administrative skill—the very man to be Pre sident in times which require steadiness, clear sense, kind ness, and tried patriotism. I not only believe that he will be President, but that his civil administration will be as remarkable as his military career. Since all the men who sought to destroy this Government are rallying around Seymour, it is fit that all the men who stood up for the Union should gather about Grant. It is an honour that will not happen twice in a man's lifetime to have a chance to vote for such a man as Grant. No young man can well afford to throw away his chance. Even if done, it ought to be in favour of some better man than he who, trough all the years from 1860 to 1868, studied how to help Southern treason without incurring the risks and pains of overt and courageous treasonable acts.—l am very truly yours, HENRY WARD BEECHER. A. Washington correspondent of a Democratic paper has cheery news from Missouri, which he says is sure to go for Seymour and Blair. That party has nominated Gen. Jas. Shields, formerly United States Senator from Illinois and Minnesota, for the district now represented by the Republican Van Horn. Re garding Alabama he calculates the entire vote at 180,000, of which his party will poll 75,000 whites and 30,000 blacks, and the Radicals 10,000 whites and 55,000 blacks; adding that the Honourable W. B. Jones had declined to serve on the Republican ticket, and had taken to the " stump" for Seymour and Blair. Of Pennsylvania a thoroughly posted and well-informed friend told him that the Demo eras were working like be4yere aucl were isa.apiao of success, while the Radicals of Philadelphia were split up by local issues, and throughout the State a war rages between the Curtin-Kelly-Forney fac tion and that of Cameron. A strong controversy has been carried on touching the Generals, and some very bitter things have been said, but the New York Citizen gives this as the probable way in which they will divide :-- DEMOCUATIC GENERALS.

B. M'Neil of Cayugy ; for Judge of the Court of Appeals, E. 0. Perrin of Queens. Among the names on the ticket for Presidential electors are Gen. H. W. Slocum, Justice Dowling, Oswald Ottenberger, Emanuel B. Hart, Charles F. Loew, and William G. Fargo. The resolutions, which were adopted with cheers, reaffirm the principles of the National Democratic platform ; demand the immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, amnesty for all past political offences, and that the elective franchise be regulated in all the States by the people thereof, without the inter ference of the general Government ; the pay ment of all Government liabilities in gold only when gold is nominated in the bond and in lawful currency of the country, when oin is not specified ; equal taxation of every species of property, including Government Bonds. They reaffirm the principle of one currency for Government and one currency for office-holders, pensioners, soldiers, and bondholders ; favour for the reform of abuses in the Administra tion ; the reduction of the standing army and navy; the abolishing of the Freedmen's Bureau and all political instrumentalities designed to secure sec tional supremacy ; favour equal rights and protec tion for naturalized and native-born citizens ; en courage people struggling for national integrity and constitutional liberty ; thank the soldiers and sailors who imperilled their lives in the defence of the Republic ; assert that the nation is under deep and lasting obligation to President Johnson, who, deserted by his party, has respected his oath to maintain the Constitution, and to Chief Justice Chase, who, in the Impeachment Trial, proved faithful to his high trust ; endorse and eulogize Seymour and Blair, and lay down a line of policy in regard to canals and other property of the State, and in regard to the excise laws and other local matters. The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention assembled also on the 2d, when Colonel Greene's motion was carried, that the nominees of 1867 for State officers be re-nominated by acclamation, as follows :—For Governor, John Quincy Adams ; for Lieutenant-Governor, George M. Stearns ; Sec retary of State, Charles Brimbleton ; Treasurer, Henry Arnold ; Auditor, Arthur F. Devereux ; Attorney-General, William C. Endicott. The fol lowing were among the principal resolutions : • " Resolved,—That while we deprecate all attempts to detract from the military fame or blacken the private character of Gen. Grant, we feel that when arms exert an undue and abnormal power in a free Government in a time of peace, and its constitutional functions are greatly deranged and partially sus pended by partisan violence, a people jealous of their liberties should not lift higher yet the hand which holds the sword. The ',nation needs now not the successful soldier, skilled only in the arts of war and prone to rule by the swift methods of the camp, but the wise and thoughtful statesman, trained in the patent process of conciliation and kindness, and relying alone upon the united and firm sway of law and justice. " Resolved, —That while we recognize the neces sity of a tax on imports, we, renew our adhesion to the doctrine of a tariff solely for revenue." " Resolred,—That gold and silver coin is the only constitutional Legal• Tender, and while we would have but one currency for all, the Democracy of Massachusetts, now as in the past, are true to their old faith in hard money, and demand that it be restored to the people at the earliest moment consistent with the interests of the business and labour of the country." It is a singular fact that John Quincy Adams never showed on the occasion, and was shouted for in vain. The Maryland Democrats, in Convention, also on the 2d instant, nominated for electors at large Judge Carmichael, of Queen Anne county, and John Thomson Mason, of Anne Arundel county ; and by districts, in their numerical order, Albert Constable, Walter T. Allengier, H. C. Dalton, Charles G. Roberts, and George Peters. CONTRACTS FOR SALT PORK.

The Cleveland Leader, in an excellent article, draws attention to the value of tried Congressional Representatives, and the advisability of electing good men. It says the Thirty-ninth Congress gained most of its strength from the public experi ence of its members, and generally the most able of them were re-elected for the Fortieth. When that Congress assembled, nearly all the tried men of the previous House were present, nor they only, but such additions from former Houses as John Covode, Kelsey of New York,' Generals Logan, Cadwallader, Washburne, Van Wyck, and Sh an k s — an d by such new but well-known men as Governor Blair, Gene rals Butler, Dodge, and Pile, Judge Poland, Nor man B. Judd and Morrell of Pennsylvania. After observing that "if there be one thing needful to legislative efficiency, it is legislative experience," it asks what has been done towards keeping the valuable material of the present House in Wash ington ? " Thaddeus Stevens is dead. Speaker Colfax is withdrawn to become a candidate for Vice- President, John A.

STAMPED bd. UNI7 ED STA 7 ES CONSULATES. An article has recently appeared in leading American journals which gives the amount of fees received at several of the principal Consulates in Europe. It is uuderstood that the amounts were stated on official authority.. The annual receipts at Paris were put down at over $40,000, those at London at over $30,000. Many journals seem to have reached the incorrect conclusion that the emoluments of the Consuls at the places referred to are measured by the amount of fees received, and the Consulates referred to have been regarded as rich places for expectant office seekers. No one who has read the law will need to be in formed that the fees received at the Consulates named, and at all others, except a few of little im portance, are not the property of the Consul, but of the United States, and must, by law, be paid into the Treasury, with a statement thereof, under oath. The salary of the Consul at Paris is $5,000, and this is his sole source of remuneration. Out of this he is required to pay $1,500, or thereabouts, for clerk hire and incidental expenses. The real salary of the Consul is less than $3,500. Mr. Bigelow, the late Consul, in an elaborate report to the Go vernment, in which the subject of salary and ex penses was fully discussed, declared that a Consul at Paris, living only moderately well, would be re quired to expend $3,900 per annum more than his salary. The salary at London is $7,500, beyond which the Consul has no source of remuneration. Out of this he pays three clerks, and he is required to pay, moreover, the incidental expenses of his office, as fuel, lights, &c., &c. His net salary is less than $5,000. Any one at all familiar with the cost of living in London knows that that sum is not adequate to the support of a family living as the family of an American Consul at a great capital should live. Until recently many Consuls were allowed to establish agencies near their Consulates, and to ap point agents to transact business, who divided all the fees received with their principals. If, as turned out to be the case in many instances, the bulk of the business by any means centred at the agencies where the fees were the property of the Consul and agent, instead of at the chief Consulate, where they were the property of the Government, Consuls found themselves, in comparatively small districts, in the receipt of greater emoluments than their neighbouring Consuls at the great capitals. By a judicious enactment Congress at the last ses sion put an end to this system. As a rule, the Consuls of the United States are inadequately paid, and there is no Consulate which yields an adequate support unless the incumbent is content to live in a style unbecoming the country L he represonta. ~_ THE NEW GUN CARBIAGIt The principle of a high slide and low carriage:lnite - ailo the usual plan of a low slide and high carriage, is to tested at the Woolwich Arsenal butts, to-rncyrow% advantages claimed for this carriage and its various nevi' features, by Captain Scott, are-1. !'hat thjeverati4 4 , strain thrown upon the deck will be reduced, by-)411( . .., half or more, and consequently that 11 1 / 4 404 gti may be fought upon decks prepared for 12-toii gitnt; also, that guns of sufficient weight to pierce ironclads maT be safely worked upon the decks of our present wooden ships. 2. That there will be complete self-action of com pressor, both for checking the recoil and for holding the gun securely at every point in running it in or out; and that the compressor can also he worked by hand. 3. That the slide is sufficiently high to enable the men to apply their strength to all the working parts; and that its height off the deck admits of the usual washing down without drenching the gear. Lastly, that the quantity of gear is greatly reduced, and that the buffer arrangement ff,.rds a plan of absorbing any surplus recoil without over straining the compressors or any part of the carriage. If these results are achieved, a further great step will have been made in working the heaviest guns upon the broadside. The carriage about to be tested at Woolwich is one of the eight made for the Hercules, and will be tried with its own big guns, firing 601 b. of powder and a shot of 410 lb. weight. THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE CAPE. --+ The Cape Standard (August 10) gives the following par. ticulars of the last illness of the late Sir W. Hodge; Chief Justice of the Cape Colony :—" Sir William land been slightly unwell at the beginning of last week, and was unable to take his seat in court, but the public— and, we believe, his family—had no idea that his illness was of a serious nature, or that any danger was to be apprehended. During Saturday night, however, and Sun., day, the symptoms became more decided in their charactrir ; and early on Monday morning the illness terminated in death. The direct cause of death was congestion oi the lungs aggravated by general physical weakness. The late Chief Justice was the eldest son of W. Hodges, Esq., of Weymouth, Dorsetshire, and was born in 1808. He was called to the bar in 1833, and joined the Western Cir cuit, where he enjoyed a fair practice, and some years afterwards was appointed Recorder of Poole. His chief contribution to legal literature was a well-known work on railway law. In 1857 he accepted the appointment bf Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Cape of GOod Hope. Both in this position and in that of President of the Legislative Council Sir William Hodges succeeded in winning the regard and esteem of all those with whom hek came in contact." THE CARRIAGE OF PETROLEUM. The London and North-Western Railway have issued a, notice to the effect that they " will not carry in any of their boats trading between the ports of Holyhead and Dublin any petroleum, Rangoon oil, Burmah oil, any product of them, or any oil of petroleum, peat, or Other bituminous substance, or any gunpowder, aquafortis, oil of vitriol, or any other goods which in the judgment of the company are of a dangerous character." Persons who may attempt to evade this regulation by sending dangerous consignments covertly are threatened with prosecution under the 329th section of the Merchant Shipping Act 1864, which imposes a penalty of £lOO for every such offence. It will be noticed that no reference is made to the carriage of petroleum or other dangerous goods by rail, but the closing of the mail packets to this traffic will in some measure have the effect of stopping such consignments by the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which from its proximity to numerous chemical works has hitherto done a considerable business in this line. There is, however, nothing in the new regulation which would prevent a manufacturer, having a large consignment, from despatch ing his goods to Holyhead by the ordinary luggage trains, and thence to Ireland by means of a smallvessel of his own chartering. THE VISIT OF PRINCE ALFRED TO HULL. A special meeting of the Hull Town Council has been held, the Mayor (G. C. Roberts, Esq.) in the chair, to consider the communication forwarded to his worship by command of her Majesty, and to invite his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to unveil the statue of the late Prince Consort, which is to be placed in the People's Park. The following resolution was agreed to, on the motion of the Mayor, seconded by the Sheriff : " That this Council, deeply sensible of the interest expressed by her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen with reference to the statue to be raised by the inhabitants of the town as a memorial to his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort, and being desirous that the inauguration of such memorial should be attended with circumstances befitting the object for which it was designed, do humbly invite his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.P., to visit the town, and perform the ceremony of un. veiling the statue on such day as may be convenient to him, and that the Mayor, on behalf of this Council, do convey this invitation to his Royal Highness." It waa also moved by the Mayor, seconded by Alderman Gresham, that the Mayor, Sheriff, ex-Mayor, the chairman of the several standing committees of the Council and Local Board of Health, and the two senior councillors of each ward be a committee for the purpose of making all proper and necessary arrangements (either on behalf of the corporation or in conjunction with public bodies) for giving a suitable reception to his Royal High ness the Duke of Edinburgh on his visit to the town, and that such committee have power to incur, and through the treasurer of the borough, from time to time, by their order signed by their chairman, to defray all proper disburse. ments for carrying into effect this resolution at the expense of this corporation.—Eastern Morning News. Among the passengers who sailed trom Liver• pool for New York on board the steamship Cuba was Gene ral M 4 Clellan, who was well known as one of the Federal commanders in the early stages of the American war. Two people have lost their lives at Handsworth in endeavouring to save the lives of others. A nurse and four children were in a boat on the pool fishing, when ono of them changed her seat, overbalanced herself, and fell in the water. Her little brother jumped in after her to rescue her; the gardener went to his assistance, when the boy clung to him, and they were both drowned. The girl was rescued by another man. "Brother Ignatius" preached again on Sunday, in the small church of St. Edmund the King and Martyr with St. Nicholas Aeons, in Lombard-street. There was a larger attendance than the place would hold, and the crowd outside numbered at least half the listeners who found seats or standing room within. A contemporary says :—" In Mr. Spurgeon's customary vein, but without any approach to Mr. Spurgeon's ability, he preached as if he had been preaching to a congregation of children at a Sunday school. It was a succession of that flippant home liness of imagery which is paitial. Well may Mr. Lyne suppose that the understanding has little or nothing to do with religion, if he talks always on religious topics as he talked last night." DISTRESSING BATHING ACCIDENT.—A loss of life whilst bathing has just taken place under very painful circumstances at Ouistreham, a small watering-place on the coast of Normandy. The deceased was a young lady named Le Cesne, aged 19, who had been staying there with her family. They were to leave a few days back, and had gone to the beach to bathe for the last time. Madame Le Cesne, with the younger children, remained near the shore, while Mdlle. Berthe, with the governess, Miss Fletcher, both of whom were good swimmers, went farther out. After dis porting for some time in the water, which was about up to their shoulders, they were about to rest themselves by floating, when Mdlle. Le Cesne was seized by a large wave and carried completely out of her depth. Miss Fletcher endeavoured to go to her assistance, but was unable to reach her in time, and the unfortunate young lady struggled in vain to get back, and presently disap peared. This painful scene was witnessed by the mother, whose screams brought several persons to the spot, and the body of Al dile. Berthe was at length recovered by a customs' officer, named Hallot, but all efforts to restore life were unavailing. Miss Fletcher was also brought to the shore insensible, but afterwards recovered. FALL OF THE ROOF OF A HOUSE IN NORTH SHIELDS.—On Sunday morning the roof of the Rose of Allendale public-house, Bell-street, :North Shields, occupied by Mrs. Ann Robertson, fell in with a crash. The top flat of the house was used as a bedroom, in which there were two beds, and was occupied by the son of Mrs. Robertson, The roof of the house has been in the most wretched con. dition for years, and about three months ago the present occupant of the house made a complaint to the agent, Mr, Jackson, respecting its dilapidation. No notice, however, appears to have been taken of the complaint, or at least no repairs were made, and on Sunday morn. ing, between the hours above stated, it fell, to the great alarm of the whole neighbourhood. It is marvellous that nobody was killed. During the heavy rains which fell towards the latter end of the week the top flat was rendered unfit for habitation, and on Saturday night its occupant slept down stairs, and undoubtedly thereby saved his life. Considering the age of the building, it is a wonder that the weight of the d6bris did not break the flooring and go clowa tough the whole house.-- L Plitv LrProt, _ Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., A E L.
