Dn. LEE ON ANGLICAN ORDERS.

not be an unmixed good for San Francisco, for the
products of the mines are now being despatched
direct to the Mint and Assay offices of Philadel-
phia and New York, yet it is an unmixed good for the
State generally, and likely to give a great spur to
its wine-growing interest. A cargo of 24 tierces,
or about 1,000 gallons, of California wine was re-
cently shipped on the Pacific Railroad for the At-
lantic ports. The wine and brandy product of Cali-
fornia now reaches 8,000,000 gallons, and it is esti-
mated that in ten years' time the annual value of
the crop will amount to $20,000,000, and equal in
value the present gold product.
We regret to hear of the feebleness and poor
health of Mr. Peabody, at Salem, Massachusetts.
Ile has just added another million dollars to his
Southern Education Fund, the amount of the fund
being now two millions of dollars, yielding an an-
nual income of $130,000. The philanthropist at-
tended the Peace Jubilee, and on being introduced
to the audience during au interval of the perform-
ance by Mayor Shurtleff, who spoke of him as the
benefactor of mankind, he said—" My friends,—
Your mayor has indeed said well that I am your
friend, and has kindly announced me as the friend
of the whole world. However true this assertion
may be—and I think be has praised me too highly
—yet, I assure you, whatever may be said in regard
to my friendship for the old world, can never ex-
ceed that which I have for the new."
After a long interview with Secretary Borie and
Admiral Porter, on June 24, the President next day
announced the resignation of the Navy Secretary,
and the appointment of Geo. W. Robeson, Attorney
General of New Jersey. From the beginning Mr.
Borie was reluctant to accept the post, but the Pre-
sident over-ruled his objection by stating that Ad-
miral Porter would be associated with him to do
all the Navy work, while Grant only desired to
have the benefit of his advice in council. Experience
showed Mr. Boric the disadvantages of having to
bear the responsibility of the acts of others; the
Admiral carried out his owu notions perhaps the
more readily, as the blame would fall on the shoul-
ders of the Secretary, who was denounced in the
Navy for many unpopular orders, and in the
papers for all the blunders ; for neglecting the
business ; and for accepting a post about the work-
ing of which he knew no more than did Secretary
Gideon Welles, his predecessor.
.Mr. Robeson's
appointment created much more surprise than Mr.
Borie's retirement. He is the son of a leading New
Jersey Whig, Judge William P. Robeson; born about
1828 ; entered Princeton College 1814, graduated
in 1847, studied law under Chief Justice Horn-
blower, practised in 1850 with the Hon. C. M.
Remington, appointed Prosecutor of Pleas for
Camden county in 1859, and on the election of
Senator Frelinghuysen, in 1867, promoted to be
Attorney-General by Governor Ward. He is a
strong Republican, and supported the election of
General Grant. During the Impeachment Trial,
which he advocated, he btcame acquainted with
the President, and his appointment is not repug-
nant to his r arty, although he is little known
beyond the limits of his State. It is said that the
Secretary of War, General Rawlins, is in very
delicate health, and will soon follow Mr. Boric into
retirement.
A grave question came before General Grant
relative to General S:ckles' appointment as Minis-
ter to Spain. The law relating to army officers
was discussed, when he decided that the restriction,
which prevents those officers from holding civil office
does not apply to those placed on the retired list.
Though relinquishing army pay, while drawing diplo-
matic pay, the General retains his name on the army
register. He had left Washington for New York,
where he was presented with an address, and a warm
invitation to a banquet at the Everett 'Luise on
June 30, which he as cordially accepted. The list
of names appended to the invitation is the best
answer that could be given to the stories circulated
detrimental to the General. Among them is that
of the late Henry J. Raymond, and we may add all
the leading journalists, Horace Greeley, liana; the
great lawyers, such as Evarts ; men like Cyrus W.
Field, and nearly all the best known citizens of
New York. There is no chance of Secretary of
Legation Perry being retained, although there had
been a rumour at Washington that he might be.
It would take a great deal to make Mr. Andrew
Johnion change his tune, indeed strong opinions
persistently held seated him in the chair of the
President. When serenaded at Washington on the
night of the Ist inst., he made a speech wheraa he
deplored the political condition of the country, and

Dr. F. 0. Leo writes to the TaYet to decline, on
the ground of parochial work, to enter upon a con-
troversy as to the validity of Anglican orders. I•te
adds that more than 100 pages of his work on the
subject are printed, and that the book will be pub-
lished in the autumn. The testimonial to Dr. Lee,
by way of ac'tnowledging his services as secretary of
the " A.P.U.C.," has proved a failure.

declared that it was tending to a military dictator-

ship or a monarchy. There are those who assert
that Andrew Johnson swung round the circle, that
he got in to the State ship disguised as a Radical,
and went out in his true colours, as a Conser-
vative. Yet we believe that he was obstinately
consistent, though he could not make his views
harmonise under changed circumstances with those
of the party which had brought him into power.
As a Southerner he held Southern opinions, while
as a Union man he held Northern opinions. When
the question was simply Union or Secession—and
side-issues, even such a mighty subject as emanci-
pation being but one, were almost lost sight of in
the clash of arms which settled it—Andrew Johnson
was a foremost man, and it was on that main issue
alone that he rose. When the war ceased and he indi-
vidually became a power in the nation his Southern
opinions cropped up, and were hateful in the sight
of an uncompromising faction, while he was as
obstinate and unyielding as they. Consequences
that any one who knew the circumstances could
have foretold followed, and after waging a furious
war for years as chief magistrate, Mr. Johnson is
now carrying on the contest as a private individual.
These-who expected to hear little more of Andrew
Johnson when in dudgeon he absented himself from
the inauguration of his successor, and left Washing-
ton almost unnoticed, will soon discover their mis-
take, for his are qualities which make him formid-
able as a partisan leader in a hot strife, while un-
fitting him for the exercise of power.
Conservatism is growing strong in the South, be-
cause Conservatives are growing more moderate
and gaining political wisdom, and the effect will
soon make itself felt in Congress. In the Virginia
elections the Conservative candidate, Gilbert C.
Walker, defeated the Republican candidate, H. H.
Wells, by a majority of some 40,000 votes, obtaining
control of the Legislature and electing six Conserva-
tives against two Radicals to Congress. The Con-
serval ive majority in Virginia is announced by every
authority as 40,000, including 30,000 negroes ; in-
deed, the number of coloured men who cast their
votes on the Conservative side appears to have
created general astonishment. One of the Radi-
cals elected is a negro ; the new constitution was
adopted ; the test oath and disfranchising clauses
being defeated. In Tennessee the Republican party
have split, to the great satisfaction of the Democrats.
Governor Seater and General Stokes are on the
stump, and their speeches afford no small amuse-
ment to all classes of citizens, as they have very
awkward questions and antecedents to deal with,
from which they generally escape by pointed per-
sonal attacks on the adversary who occupies the
same platform. For instance, Governor Senter, in
his speech at Knoxsville, accused Stokes of having
sold the last slave ever exposed in irons in Tennes-
see. The other retorted by bring forward instances
of Government corruption in railroad matters; but
after this sort of mutual recrimination the eandi_
dates fraternize, going away arm-in-arm to the next
district they are to " stump," where they set to work
again. In Mississippi, Judge Dent, President
Grant's brother-in-law, has been nominated by the
Republicans as their candidate for the Governor-
ship.

In the North, the Republican State Convention
of Maine met at Bangor, June 24, when 1,172 de-
legates from all sections of the State were present.

Lot M. Morrill took the chair, and made a good
speech, asserting the history of the Republican
party to be the most memorable epoch in the pro-
gress of the human race. Development is now the
recognised principle, not expansion, which is only
the incident, that to be safe must be homogeneous.

in the National Administration, approving of the
State policy in developing its material resources,
declaring for the strictest personal accountability
in State expenditure ; emphatically renewing the
adhesion of the party to the doctrine of prohibition
of the sale of intoxicating drink, and finally com-
mending Governor Chamberlain to the suffrages of
the people, the platform adopted being but an en-
largement of these resolutions. The nomination of
Governor Chamberlain was received enthusiastically,
and Speaker Blaine, A. G. Jewett, and Gen. Hall,
ably addressed the meeting. The vote for Cham-
berlain was 694 to 375 for Sydney Perham, of ex-
treme temperance views. At the Ohio Democratic
Convention, which met last Wednesday and nomi-
nated General Rosecrans for Governor, resolutions
were passed advocating taxation of the debt and
payment in greenbacks, others denouncing a pro-
tective tariff, and the National Bank system, but
nothing was said about the Alabama question.
The unexpectedly large negro conservative vote in
Virginia will haveatellingelfectin Mississippi, where
the election is to take place on the 15th September,
and in Texas a fortnight after. Southerners are
beginning to find that they have been on a wrong
tack in resisting negro enfranchisement. When the
census of next year is taken the redistribution of
representation in harmony with population wilt
strengthen the South, as it will throw numbers of
negroes hitherto uncounted into the scale ; so while
New England loses, the States on the other side of
Dixey's line gain. If leading Democratic Southern-
ers can carry the negroes with them they will soon
be able to strengthen the Democratic party in Con-
gress, and it is highly improbable that this will be
unacceptable to the Administration, for the more
nearly Farties are balanced the more independent
becomes the President, and the more effective his
veto. It is a subject of dispute, but on the whole
the testimony is in favour of the increased value
and economy of free negro labour. Very strong
evidence is given from nearly all the States to this
effect, some even asserting that many planters are
DOW satisfied that slavery was an economic blunder
to which they would not return were the option
given. In proof of that value the reviving pros-
perity which is reported—with one marked excep-
tion the State of Georgia--may be taken as the best
proof. Political feeling has in Georgia assumed its
bitterest form, and the Supreme Court of the State
has decided that marriages between whites and
blacks are illegal ; that the clause in the Constitu-
tion denies to the Legislature even the power of
regulating the social status and intercourse between
the two races ; the assertion being that as the
social relations of citizens are not a proper subject
on which to enact laws, the Constitution wisely
denies such power to the Legislature. Georgia
cannot continue to be an exception, and it is pro-
bable that it will gradually fall into the advancing
line of Southern prosperity.
Secretary Boutwell's sudden order to purchase
$3,000,000 of Government Bonds on the 3rd inst.
was in all probability intended to give ease to
the increasing stringency of the money market in
New York, as was his order to purcbase another
$3,000,000 on the 9th instant. The policy which
compels the Secretary to reduce his balance in green-
backs to the lowest point is more necessary now than
ever it had been during Mr. M'Culloch's adminis-
tration, and the reason is that already given by us,
which increases instead of dminishes. The South
is a hungry reservoir in the process of being filled ;
the currency which amply sufficed for the Northern
States may prove insufficient when a considerable
demand for the circulating medium has arisen in the
South, as well as the power through increasing pro-
duction of attracting it into the country. Presently
the South will begin to buy as well as sell ; but
now, as for some time to come, the money received
will be retained. Of course this must be felt in
New York, and is likely to cause even greater incon-
venience. Mr. Boutwell's action is probably in-
tended to do what he can to furnish relief by throw-
ing three million of dollars on one day into cir-
culation in exchange for Government Bonds, and
repeating the operation the next week. A Radical
journal expresses its annoyance at receiving a South-
ern exchange with a Confederate postage stamp at-
tached. If the Macon Telegraph had designed to
caricature the position, it could not more effectu-
ally have done so than by sending its bad Confe-
derate money North, while drawing the good Union
money Soutb, to such an extent as considerably to
embarrass commercial transactions in the metropo-
litan city.

Who pays for such a Cable telegram as this ?

" Mexico has failed to pay the interest of her national
debt."
IVere it announced that Mexico had paid, it would,
indeed, be worth the expenditure. The proceed-
ings of Mexican bondholders are about as impor-
tant as those of Confederate bondholders, for it is
enough to know that anything is bogus to take all the
interest out of it, and has much the same influence
on a journalist that " five-water grog" has on a tar.
A committee has waited on President Juarez to
confer on the sad condition of their State, but if this
State were not in a sad condition, it would be very
unlike the other States which form that charming
Republic. The experiments in colonization of the
Latin race arc not such as to encourage their repe-
tition,'and they may as well desist, leaving the in-
habitants of the States they have founded "to
improve each other out of creation," and make way
for the Anglo-Saxon. Should Cuba hereafter, when
free, become different from Mexico, it will be be-
cause the inhabitants are wanting even in that
kind of energy which prompts the Mexicans to cut
each other's throats. If the ghost of Maximilian
hovered about Queretaro, it would find other gar-
risons with other besiegers, with new conspiracies;
and yet again new garrisons, with new besiegers,
accompanied by all the treachery, the lying, thiev-
ing, and shooting with which, in his brief experience
of Mexico, that Prince became so familiar. No one
cares who now holds Queretaro, or why it is be-
sieged. England is blamed by some of the Ame-
rican papers for not sending a representative, but
she might as well despatch an envoy to the King of
Dahomey. If the United States desire to learn what
America really owes to England, they should con.
trast Canada with Mexico, and appreciate what
has been done by Britain to smooth the path of the
eventual North American Republic north of the St.
Lawrence, and by the Laiin race to impede it south
of the Rio Grande;
The news from Rio up to the 10th June is that
General M. Mahon had reached Buenos Ayres on
his way from the camp of Lopez, and was on board
the steamer if unis, bound to Rio en route home.
The State Department at Washington had at last
received despatches from him up to May 21st.
The American Envoy strongly favours Lopez, and
the cause for which he struggles, maintaining that
his Government ought to show its sympathy for Pa-
raguay and against Brazil. His relations with Lopez
he described as being cordial, and he asserts that it
was the Allies, and not Lopez, who attempted to
impede his free communication with Washington ;
declining to send on his despatches under a flag of
truce, and firing on that forwarded by the Para-
guayans. His position is endorsed by General
Webb, late Minister to Brazil, who gives it as his
opinion that the Allies will fail in their attempt to
overrun Paraguay, that the stories circulated
against Lopez are manufactured by the Brazilians,
and that Lopez accuses them of the very crimes they
attribute to him. He thinks that Brazil ought to
get a good thrashing, to reduce the pretensions of
the slave power. As Ex-Minister Webb's action
has been endorsed, the new Minister, Mr. Blow,
-who was to sail by the next steamer from New York,
was instructed to continue
.the negotiation for the

claim on the basis indicated by Mr. Seward. The
cable also tells us that the revolution in Uruguay
continues.

The Census Committee, which sat at 'Washington
up till the 19th June, adjourned on that day till
Congress meets. No schedule has yet been decided
on, but it i 3 believed the Committee will recommend
that the forms to be sent in advance, to be filled in
prior to a named day whereon the census taker will

bility of the national promises with the future of Congressmen even now complain of the magnitude
the Republican party. Resolutions were adopted, of their constituencies, alleging it to be impossible
hailing peace with joy, thanking soldiers, confiding fairly to do the work. If the number of Represen-

tatives is to remain the same, as the population has
within the last decade enormously increased, and as
it will in all probability in a much greater degree
increase during the next ten years, it follows that
what is now found too burdensome will then be beyond
the compass of human labour. To meet the growing
requirements, the addition to the Representatives
must be considerable. The application of the 14th
Amendment will benefit the Southern sectiiu of
the Union by largely increasing its representation,
while the Northern States, where the franchise is
not impartial, will suffer. But in case the Fifteenth
Amendment be adopted ere the Census is taken,
only those States will suffer wherein there are pro-
perty or educational qualifications. General Gar-
field, the Chairman of the Committee, will devote
his summer travel to making himself as familiar as
posbible with the requirements of the Census, and
its relation to the people and their industries.
If the Government desired to Wing the system
upon which appointments in the Civil Service are
made in Washington into disrepute, they could not
more effectually have done so than in adopting a
rule to the effect that members of Congress and
others are to be bound in their several recommenda-
tions by the priority of their date. It is asserted t hat
the Administration is so frequently puzzled by the
course of men in high position in recommending
several persons for the same post,that it is compelled
to adopt this role. Hitherto these influential parties
have been able to satisfy all by recommending all,
by which the good-natured shuffled off the disagree-
ables of resisting a pressure, and left to the Depart-
ments to sift and appraise at their true value, a dozen
recommendations of different persons for the same
post from the same Senator. On the desk of a
Secretary may lie two letters from an influential
person publicly recommending a candidate for a
post, the other marked private, telling the Secretary
that the applicant is not a fit and proper person,
and not to attach importance to his signature.
Then those who permit such a system to continue
in force, censure the President for making bad
appointments, as if Grant and his Secretaries knew
all the men in the United States, aye, and the
women too, for the gentler sex are as hungry appli-
cants. If they do, we may casually observe they
have an extensive acquaintance; but, as they do
not,they can only trust to such certificates, and by this
time the President must have a shrewd idea of their
value. Whatever may be the demerits of competi-
tive examination it is better than this, while the
only cure for a very grave and growing malady is
permanency in office, and promotion by merit.

The Swedish settlements in Kansas have been so
unfortunate as to furnish an illustration of the pro-
verb that " Misfortunes never come singly." They
were the victims a short time ago of some fearful
Indian raids ; now they are the victims of inunda-
tions; in one place 20 settlers being drowned. In
Northern Missouri, as well as in Kansas, the loss
of life and property resulting from the late heavy
rains has been great. The latest tidings of the
Indians give an account of their attack upon
Colonel Greenwood's surveying party, which was
made about 15 miles west of Sheridan. Howard
Schuyler was by himself, 20 miles in advance of
the main body, when a party of 50 Cheyennes
made at him, and he commenced a running fight.
One Indian got so close that the muzzle of his gun
was within a few inches of Schuyler's side, who, at
the moment he turned and shot the Indian through
the body, received a lance wound. Four Indians
fell before the accuracy of his fire, and his horse,
covered with wounds, sank exhausted on reaching
the main body. The surveyors, well armed, soon
drove back the Indians, but a brother of the gallant
Schuyler was so severely wounded that it is doubt-
ful whether he will recover. In Arizona the aspect
is dreadful, on all sides the depredations being
carried to such an extent that it is probable the ter-
ritory will be abandoned. Unfortunately the
Indians have selected the time when the troops are
being relieved ; but, on the arrival of themilitary now
marching for Arizona, it is hoped that active opera-
tions will be conducted against the marauding
tribes, and the savages effectually checked.

General Daniel Butterfield, who succeeds Henri
H. Van Dyck, is a war De►nocrat, who raised a regiment of
Volunteers, and at its head gained the post of Major-
General, being now Colonel of the 12th Regular Regiment,
a commission ho will have to resign in accepting the aP-
poiutment. During the war he was offered the post by
the then Secretary, Chase, but he declined till the sup'
pression of the rebellion.

Gen. Caballero de Rodas has commenced his Go-
vernment of Cuba by conciliation mixed with a
firm determination to suppress • the insurrection.
He urges a more moderate tone on the press, and he
has released a number of political prisoners, while
reorganizing the Spanish forces for a vigorous cam-
paign, if necessary. That the insurrection isstillalive
is shown by the capture of Holguin by General.
Jordan. All Colonel Ryan's fillibustering expedi-
tion have been captured, and it was reported in
New York that the Spanish squadron had shown
increased activity in intercepting fillibustering ex..
peditions, having sunk two in their attempt to land.
The last proclamation of the new Governor was
issued on Wednesday, and he therein declared the
insurrection to be reduced to such an extent as only
to maintain a guerilla warfare. All persons arrested
for robbery, arson, or murder will be tried by court-
martial ; other cases by civil tribunals. The Go-
vernment promises impartial justice to all. Some
consider that the insurrection never assumed the
important character attached to it by the Ameri-
can press, who took it up as a good sensational
subject. The action of the. Government against
the Junta's organisation in New York has effec-
tually broken it up, but, as usual, the selfish motives
are ascribed of doing nothing to injure the position
assumed on the Alabama question. Admiral Hoff,
commanding the United States squadron in Cuban
waters, sent a vessel of war to Santiago to investi-
gate the outrages which it is reported have been
perpetrated on American citizens.

The late Charles llalpine's grave is said to be
neglected, and this is mentioned as an instarco how soon
even the most brilliant of editors may be forgotten by the
public.

From Mr. Reverdy Johnson's accounts, lately
audited by the Washington Treasury, it appears that 1115
telegraph bill for the three months ending March 31
amounted to $9BO in gold. This was exclusive of the
large bill which was presented some time ago for cable
telegraphing in reference to the celebrated protocol
which the Senate rejected, and which has been plid by
Baring Brothers on the order of the State Depart'
ment. Mr. Johnson's contingent expenses during the
same period amounted to $1,567, which is considered
moderate. The contingent expenses of Minister Dill
at Paris, for a similar period amounted to $2,900.
The following is extracted fr'm the Boston Post :--
"Baltimore, June 19, 1869. My dear Sir, I have your

The funeral services of the late Henry J. Rai'
mond were held at the Presbyterian Church, corner o
Tenth-street and University-place, New York, on 310°.:
day, the 21st June. A large concourse of the most prowl_
nent members of the journalistic and other profession!:
was present. President Grant offered his services as a pal`

The Declaration of Independence was this year
celebrated on the sth July, as the Fourth fell on a
Sunday--enthusiastically in the North, but with
apathy in the South. One of the strangest meetings
was in London, where a considerable crowd assem-
bled in Finsbury-circus to do honour to the day
Americans honour so much, though probably there
was not an American among them. The Times
predicts that the day, overshadowed by the events
and achievements of the recent war, is losing its
importance ; and it hopes, as the cause for self-
assertion has now wholly passed, that the occasion
will henceforth be marked with less animosity to-
wards and as
_well as criticism on England, in all
which, for once, we are able to agree with our
great contemporary. Dean Stanley improved the
occasion, as the real anniversary was Sunday, in
the greatest of pulpits, under the most noble and
ancient of Abbey roofs, and over the graves of the
most renowned, to discuss thegreat event the day
commemorated, taking for his text, " Whosoever
is angry with his brother . . . . and whosoever
shall say, Thou fcol, shall be in danger of hell fire."
Let English hearts, he said, sincerely wish the
Americans rejoicing over that anniversary, joy :

" What American is there that does not ling to tread
the shores of England, to worship the God of his fathers
in her venerable abbeys, to visit her well-stored galleries,
to rest in her academic groves, and to enjoy her triumphs,
whether of science or of art ? On tho other hand, what
Englishman does not rejoice in every success of American
genius—in her miracles of invention, of architecture, and
song ? Woe, woe to those on either side who would go
down into the valley of darkness, where ancient feuds lie
charred and buried, and bring forth again the old offal to
poison the air! Blessings without number crown the
heads and cheer the hearts of those who labcur to main-
tain our natural and God-given brotherhood !"
At Vienna the anniversary of Independence was
celebrated on Monday ; his Excellency, John Jay,
being present; the room was tastefully dLcorated
with flowers and flags, as well as with the portraits
of the Kaisers, and of President Grant.
New York papers to the 29th June have been re-
ceived just before going to press, and from them we
learn that John P. Delaplaine, of New York, was
appointed by the President, June 27th, Secretary
of the United States Legation at Vienna. Andrew
Johnson arrived at Washington, June 27, and went
to the Metropolitan llotel. Ilis mission is to se-
cure certain private papers in the departments there,
and copies of public documents, to enable him or his
biographer to write a history of the late Administra-
tion. The Tribune says the latest returns from the
vote on Lay Delegation in the Methodist Episcopal
Church develope a more serious opposition to the
movement than has been heretofore exhibited. The
returns now show twenty-seven thousand for Lay
Delegation to ten thousand against it. The Booth
family have been interred at Green Mount Ceme-
tery, Baltimore. Mr. De La Roche, the Ilaytian
Minister, was at Washington on Saturday, June 26,

[ADVERTISEMENT. j Holloway's Pills.—Protectors nf
-
Health.—ln the hand-to-hand struggle for existence in tbe
present day, good health is everything. Holloway's punt
fying, digestive, and gently laxative pills are admirably,
adapted for restoring soundness to invalids whose functions
are so feebly performed that life itself seems most pre!:
lions. The stomach has its many maladies removed by
judicious use of these pills, the torpid liver is roused by
them to active secretion, and every other organ subsersfr,
ing digestion is placed at its natural standard, and betted
fitted for its duties. IL is impossible to have a doctor I;
our elbow at all seasons and places, but these pills 'el,
supply_ that loss, for they universally act beneficially
every ailment.
