Rev. Elijah Kellogg is writing a series of hooks
which Lee and Shepard will publish. He is well known
to school-boy declaimers as the author of " Spartacus,"
and other favourite blank verse pieces.
ADTERTISEMENT)—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Dyspepsia.—There is no organ in the human body so liable
to derangement as the liver. Food,. fatigue, climate, and
anxiety all disorder its action, and render its secretion, the
bile, more or less depraved, superabundant, or scanty.
The first symptoms should receive attention. A pain in
the side or the top of the shoulder, a hard cough, and diffi-
culty of breathing are signs of liver disease, which are re-
moved by friction with Holloway's inestimable ointment.
The pills should also be taken early. For all diseases of
this vital organ the action of those conjoined remedies is
a specific, by checking the over supply of bile, regulating
its secretion, and givinf nervous power.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

An International Copyright Association has lately
been formed in New York to secure to authors the
universal copyright of their works. Abst of the great
American writers have joined it. The poet Bryant
spoke on the occasion, comparing the work of an
author to that of a person who turns the waters
of the sea into salt, and claims the result of his
skill and diligence, as his property, though taking
the substance from the common stock of all men,
the wan. " The author of a book comes to the
great ocean of human thought, which belongs to all;
he dips up a portion of the brine, evaporates it,
causes it to crystalise, purifies the crystals from un-
pleasant ingredients, and presents it in a new form,
a form by which it is made his own. * • The
author clothes ideas in words of his own selection,
forms the words into sentences of his own construe-

tion, gives the ideas his own arrangement, com-
bines and illustrates them in- his own manner, and
in this state they are • his own, made so by his
labour, skill, and invention, and they belong as
properly to him as the product of salt-works on the
edge of the sea belongs to the manufacturer."
Mr. L. J. lligby, of Milwa'ikie, has urgel on the
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce the . advan-
tages of the Mississippi route fur forwarding grain
front the West. St. Louis is the principal point of
shipment, but to towns higher up the river wheat
is sent, and even from the western shores of the
great lakes, by rail and canal. It is calculated
that grain will reach New York from St. Louis, by
way of the river, in twelve days less time, and
Liverpool in ten days less time than by Chicago;
the difference in transport to New York being 11
cents cheaper per bushel, and to Liverpool six
cents.

General Sherman has gone to Fort Laramie to
look after the Indians, who have already com-
tnenced their depredations. If the Peace Commis•
sioners do not find the hostile tribes there they will
go on to Fort Rice, on the Upper Missouri river, in
search of them. Commissioner Taylor was on his
way to Kansas to locate the great and little Osage

tribes on Indian territory, if they can be induced
to treat.

As we anticipated the people of California and of

the States and territories of the Pacific are greatly
annoyed at the delay of Congress in making the
appropriation for the purchase of Alaska. The
enormous sums spent in the Eastern States are re-
ferred to, and the small portion of the outlay re-
presented by the purchase money for Russian-Ame-
rica about which Congress shies, is contrasted in
anything but a sweet temper as the boon refused
to the Pacific slopes. The Alta California threatens
that if the House repudiates the treaty, violating
the plighted faith of the nation in the coming elec-
tion, it will lose the support of every State west of
the Rocky Mountains. " This action of the popu-
lar branch of Congress will wean from the Repub-
lican ranks every merchant who looks for gain
to the development of the commercial interests of
this coast. If this reported action be true, it is a
serious blow to our commercial aspirations and
hopes, and we shall receive it neither quietly nor
submissively." The President answered an inquiry
of Congress regarding the formation of the. Mil-
itary Department at Alaska, that he acted in accord-
ance with long-established usage and authority.
The course taken by the Executive has committed
the nation ; and however strongly the House might
object to such a purchase, it is now bound in honour
to Russia to comply with the stipulations. If it
wishes to display its opposition, it should make an

example of Mr. Seward, but the good faith of the

Union now forces the fulfilment of the contract. It
is very poor policy to injure the credit of the nation,
and annoy the Pacific States, by delaying the
settlement of a bill, which must eventually be paid.
A strong movement is being made in the United

States in favour of an increased tariff. It is hoped
by the ardent Protectionists that Benjamin Wade
will succeed to the Presidency, on the Senate pro-
nouncing the verdict on the Impeachment charges.
During his short administration, by taking timely
measures, a bill may be passed through Congress
almost prohibitory in its effects. Extremes, by ex-
citing opposition, and bringing out all the bad
points, have a reactionary tendency, and if the
Protectionists succeed, our opinion is that the ulti-
mate result will be injurious to the interests they
design to foster. It may not be out of place here to
mention that our own little interests are benefited
by such measures. English manufacturers are in-
juriously affected, but London and Paris shop-
keepers will by such measures increase their busi-
ness. The higher prices rise in the United States
the greater will be the efforts of individuals to make
their purchases in Europe. If foreign goods be
excluded from the Union, travel will be more than
ever directed towards Europe, and the tourists will
leave with a suit and go back with a wardrobe. Of
course this will benefit those who lay themselves
out to supply American custo►ners ; that is, it will
benefit our advertisers, and in their benefit lies our
own. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good,"
and in the manufacturer's loss will be the gain of
the fashionable shops.
The resolution passed by the House relative to

the protection of American fishermen was intro-
duced by Frederick A. Pike (Republican), of Maine,
and was first referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. It proposed—" To lend a sufficient num -
ber of vessels of war to the fishing grounds in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, adjacent to the British pro-
vinces, for the purpose of protecting American ves-
sels in the exercise of their rights, as recognized in
the treaty of 1783, within one marine league of the

line as it follows the indentation of the coast ; and
also for the purpose of taking care that valuable
property in ships shall not be confiscated for alleged
infractions of provincial rights on the fishing grounds,
and that whatever punishment is inflicted for tres-
pass shall be in proportion to the pecuniary injury
occasioned by the offence."
The Queen has again enlivened London with her
presence. On Tuesday a Drawing-room was held
at Buckingham Palace, when about 300 were pre-
sented, among them Mr. George Peabody by the
Secretary of State. " The " unavoidable circum-
stance" still enforced the absence of Mr. Adams,
and we believe several American ladies were thus
disappointed of presentation. It is a pity that a
lady of high rank did not seize the rare opportunity
to act in this dilemma as Miss Columbia's friend ;
thus gracefully bringing English aristocracy to the
aid of their American cousins in the difficulty raised
by Republican punctilio. Her Majesty on the follow,
ing day laid the foundation stone of St. Thomas's
Hospital, and her reception was enthusiastic.
In Washington there is a prejudice against any
Congressman entering the Cabinet if Mr. Wade
succeeds in the event of Mr. Johnson's removal,
and it is even said that the Senate would not sanc-
tion any such nomination. Horace Greeley is
named for Postmaster-General, and it is generally
expected that he will accept the post. Mr. Curtin,
of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Fenton, of New York,
if report be true, desire to exchange their chances
of nomination to the Vice-Presidency for seats in
the Cabinet, and are striving to negotiate the ex-
changes. General Butler is suggested as Mr.
M'Culloch's successor, but the General inclines to
a foreign nomination, which Gen. Grant would sanc-
tion during his term, if elected, and St. Peters-
burgh is named, in succession to General Clay. It
is thought that Mr. Hooper, of Boston, will be
selected as Secretary of the Treasury. Thad.
Stevens earnestly desires to be named Secretary of.
State, for which, neither in health, temper, nor in
any other way, is be qualified. Mr. Sumner will
not accept the State Department, nor will Mr.
Boutwell the Secretaryship of the Treasury, as both
have scruples of making a personal gain out of the
conviction of the President, in which they have
both taken so prominent a part. There is great
difficulty experienced in this matter of a Cabinet,
the tenure being for so short a period, and Grant
being unwilling to pledge himself to any re-nomina-
tion in case he succeeds in the election next No-

vember.
The condition of Tennessee is a source of grief
and even dismay to the Union. It would appear
as if that State were relapsing into a barbarism be-
yond comparison worse than the period when the
Red Indian roamed the forest in search of prey and

scalps. Decency is thrown to the winds, and outrage
as gross as that executed on the road by highway-
men is enforced by judges and rulers. Open and
undisguised ruffianism is met by dark awl secret
ruffianism, and from the acts of a Brownlow spring
the doings of a Ku-Klux Klan. These societies
have a tendency to generate others, and -we now
learn of the Red-String League, a midnight orga-
nisation of negro Klystic rites and mummeries, in-
tended to meet the Ku-Klux Klan. The negro is
imitative, and it suits his idiosyncracies, being in
truth a return to his old African character and
fetish worship, into which it is easier for him to
fall back than to be raised from. The injury in
dieted on Southern society by the ruffianism of
Parson Brownlow is deplorable, as his unscrupu-
lous and high-handed proceedings have the effect
of unloosening all the bonds of society, and handing
over the State to a reign of terrorism.
The Feniaus endeavour to keep up the excite-
ment, and they are now making arrangements to
hold a general convention at Chicago during May,
when that city will be crowded. An accident oc-
curred at that city on the 23d April, when some
300 or 400 of the Fenian Brotherhood were preci-
pitated through the upper floor, where they had
assembled, which gave way under the vigorous
stamping Amidst the echoing cheers and the
deafening applause, mingled with the crash of
breaking beams and the screams of fright, the whole
mass went headlong into the cellar. One man was
killed, five mortally injured, and about thirty badly
wounded. Stephen J. Meany delivered a lecture
on the 30th April, at the Cooper Institute, New
York--Mayor llofftnan presiding. Ile described
his sufferings in the cause of Ireland, his adherence
to his Fenian faith, and his hope of redeeming the
country from its woes. The Mayor spoke in advo-
cacy of the rights of American naturalized citizens,
and both were warmly applauded.
The returns from South Carolina give a majority
of 43,470 in favour of the new Constitution, and
declare the Republican ticket generally to be
elected. In North Carolina the new Constitution
has also been adopted and the Republican caudi-
' dates elected. In Georgia the Republican, Mr.
Bullock, has been elected Governor; in the L')wer

House there is a Democratic majority, but the nevi
Constitution has been ratified, and a Republican
majority secured in the other branches ; fourteen
negroes have been returned, but their seats are con-
tested on the ground that the suffrage does not
convey the right to hold office. In Louisiana it is
believed that the Constitution has been adopted,
and that the general result is favourable to the
Republicans. These States,will now apply to Cow
gress for admission, and in Louisiana General
Buchanan has named three officers to count
the votes for members of Congress. Virginia'
it is thought, will adopt the new Constitution,
but it awaits an appropriation by Congress for the
election expense. Mississippi is more than doubtful.
The bill for the admission of Arkansas to represew
tation in Congress passed the House of Represen-
tatives on May 9by 110 votes to 32. It was Pre
sented on the 27th April by Mr. Paine, of Wig-
cousin, requesting admission on similar terms W
those contained in Mr. Farnsworth's bill for Ala"
barna, which requires the Legislature to ratify the
14th amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, and to enact that the State Constitution
shall never be amended or changed so as to deprive
any citizen or class of citizens of the right to vote
who now possess it, nor so as to include any OW'
excluded by the State or National Constitution. On
the next day bills were presented for South Car°-
lina and Louisiana, and all were referred to the
Reconstruction Committee. North Carolina and
Georgia are now ready for the same privileges'
Florida will be in May and Virginia in June, and'
judging by the vote on Arkansas, they will all be
promptly admitted.
Some Democrats, fearing that the start gained
by the Republicans in nominating their Presides:
tial candidate will be injurious to the interests 01_
the Democratic party, are moving to re-convene the
National Democratic Committee that an earlier clot
than the 4th July may be fixed for the meeting 0,
the Convention. With this view the National
Democratic Congressional. Committee has appealed
to Mr. Belmont, the Chairman of the General Cooici
mittee, but the result is doubtful, as many 1301
that a quick and energetic campaign would 130
better adapted to forward the interests of their
candidate than the longer one of the Republics'

party.
Mr. Albert Grant, M.P., has been created $
baron by the King of Italy, in testimony of the set,
vices he has rendered to the Italian Kingdom a 5
president of the City of Milan Improvement Coslo
pany. It is not stated what the services 9r.t
of this gentleinan to the English public. 11°1,1;0
been an idea would have been formed of what
title cost John Bull. Mr. Albert grant has been
very expensive luxury, the Milan Improvealefe
Company being one of the mildest a t',
things he promoted, though the /30 debelld
tures of that concern that so delights the In;
of Italy sold during the week at the open
Stock Exchange at £lO. What he will get fro"-c1
the Emperor Napoleon for the Marseilles Ile
Company, and from the King of Belgium for Ile
Brussels Drainage, and from the Sultan for `1
Varna Railway, remains to be seen ; but if the,' 10
follow suit, he will be the most titled alas,,t,..h
Europe, and each title will have cost the nr,licie
public at least a million sterling. What a Pied
John Bull ought to take in such a highly decors
and costly piece of furniture.
