Judge WELLS, Of Missouri, has made strange
move in regard TO the Bankrupt Law. He cx-
pressed doubts as toits consitutionality, and had
the question argued by the members of the Bar,
who unanimously differed with linn in opinion.
At our latest adv:ces the argument had closed,
and great anxiety was felt as to the Judges de-
cision. The opinion was that he would pro-
nounce the law unconstitutional, and consequrnt-
ly refuse to administer it. The st. Louis Repub-
lican justly remarks that the case is singular
one In Judicial proceedings. Judge on the
bench maintaining one poslton-the whole Bar
the opposite. and the Judge alone raising the OBJ
jCction.-COMPILER.
After hearing the arguments Of the bar in oppo-
stion to his previously expressed opinions, Judge
Wells decided the Bankrupt law TO be unconsii-

benefit Of the law, may obtain hearing before

EMIGRANTS GOING BACK

'sIIundreds and hundreds of passengers who
came here in the spring from Europe, are leaving
the country by every conveyance. Many more
return to England than arrive in packet Slips,
and most of those returning home those who
came out In the spring In search OF employment
The passengers are taken back sometimes as low
six dollars head, for the reason that they are
"bonded' here, and the owners Of tho packet
ships bringing them ont made responsible if
they become paupers."

country-instead Of alforfllng, as formerly, an
asylum for the oppressed of every land, we are

thompson, who, at the request Of the President,
heId an interview with him at the Palace Of tho

letter adds, by the high and manly tone assumed
by Gen. Thompson on all occasions.
The lucatan Navy is safely moored under the
guns ofthe fort oil San Juan dc Ulloa. The gen.

transported to Laguna, the force in iucatan at
present being deemed sufficient for all purposes.

the purpose of accommodating the island, and cap
turing any Texan vessel she might fall in with.

II Warning 10 LadieS.-A Miss EMILY S.
BRowNE, Of Seabrook, IN. H. promised her
heart and hand to a MIR. Petingiil, Of Amesbu-
ry, who had come TO the conclusion TO get
married, and had informed her of his purpose.
Furniture was purchased, residence was Sc
lectcd by the lady, wedding garments were
besPoken, and the happy day itself was fixed
on which Miss Browne was to become Mrs.
Pettingll. On the previous day, however,
Miss Browne disappeared, and it was afterward
ascertained that she had gone to New York
with a Mr. McGregor, to whom she was mar
ried, and after a reasonable period returned
TO Seabrook. A suit was Immediately brought
on the part of Mr.. Pettingill for breach OF
promise on the part of the lady, which resulted
in verdict of sixteen hundred dollars against
her.

WING MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.

WING MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
A great mass meeting was held on Wednes-
day night, in front Of the State House in Phila-
delphia, which is said to have been one of tho
largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the ci-
ty. John Sergeant presided. The Inquirer say
''tho scene from the stage was indeed imposing.
Old and young-rich and poor-merchant and
observation-disclosures and manufacturer--stood there
shoulder to shoulder all animated by the same spi-
rit." Mr.. Sergeant opened the meeting in few
brief and eloquent remarks. He alluded to tho
feeling which was now manifesting itself over the
country, which he compared to the feeling Of 1910,
The object was the same, only that the name Of
Henry Clay had been substituted for that Of an
other. In concluding, he introduced the Hon.
John M. Clayton, who was received with great
enthusiasm by sho meeting. He addressed them
at considerable length. His chief subject was
Mr. Webstcr's late speech, and he successfully
yindcated the course of Mr.. Clay on the Com
promise act. But his remarks are too good to be
lost, and we shall give them hereafter. After no
had concluded, number of spirited resolutions
were adopted, and the meeting adjourned.

SENDER ,uIich King, BeSonian PIT has been
for some time past moot point whether Captain
TYLER or Bob" was tho Administration. The
question is now in a fair way to be determined.
One Mr.. Wilcox has been appointed by the Pres
ident to he Postmaster at Miidletown, Connccti-
cnt. On going to take possession. however, the
old incumbent, Mr.. Starr, shows Mr.. Wilcox a
letter from ''Bob," authorizing him (Starr) to
.'hold on'' until further orders. Thus Wilcox
claims under the Captain, and Starr under "Bob.''
The onicc-holders and ofice-seekers throughout
the Union are watching the progress of this
struggle with intense anxiety. 1t is of the first
importance to them TO know who rules the roast

DAYTON FESTIVAL.

The Festival given by the Wings of Day-

IN lSlO, as to which State would give the larg-
est Wing majority, was n tremendous affair
exceeding in extent aud magniliccnce any
thing which the country has ever before wit
messed About one hundred thousand persons
were estimated to be present, Of whom fifteen
thousand were ladies. The innumerable pro-
cessions as they poured in from all quarters.
an an almost constant stream, for nearly TWEEN
sy-four hours, are represented to have been
grand and imposing beyond description
They were generally preceded by music, (and
tits said there were between forty and fifty full
Bands OH the ground,) with splendid banners
of every device-cars on which were repre-
scented the operations of various mechanic
arts, nc. So great was the throng, that, not
withstanding the open-hearted hospitality of
the people of Dayton, multi,udes had to go
into tents overnight on the commons-the
blazing watch-iires of which presented the
appearance of great military camp. The
Il
feasting hall, crammed with every kind of
substantial refreshmcnt, free to all-and al
most every house was open for the entertain
ment of strangers with food and lodging. Mr..
CLAY was accompanied by Mcssrs. Crit,endcn,
Andrews, Bcattic, Brock, Combs, c. Clay,
Southgate, Flournoy, sc. They passed the
night SIX miles from Dayton, whence they
were escorted into town by procession, the
rear OF which was still forming in Dayton,
when the front reached them-and SO con-
slant were the arrivals oy every road from the
country that there was no perccp,ible diminu-
ton of the multitudes behind. On reaching
Dayton, MIR. Clay addressed the people for an
hour and a half, and was followed by Mr.. An
drews and Mr.. Crittenden The latter gentle
man, after returning the profound and grateful
acknowledgements of the Kentuckians for the
liberal manner in which the Wings of Ohio
had discharged the obligations incurred in lS-
40, proposed another stake on the Presiden-
tial election of 1914, Of Barbecue to be pro-
vided for the people Of the State which should
give the largest majority for "Harry Of the
Vest" The banter was promptly and cordi-
ally accepted on the part of the Wings of O.
hio, and, the Columbus State Journal remarks,
@judgng from the spirit displayed in paying
off old scores, we think we are warranted in
saying to our friends beyond the river, that
they must look well to themselves if they cx-
pect TO win again"
We rejoice to sec our Western brethren
coming up to the conflict so nobly-Insteat
of being dsheartcned by the treachery which
has robbed them of the fruits of their former
arduous struggle, they are only stimulated TO
greater efforts-and with the trusted names of

press for victory And in this spirit they

MIR. EWING'S BILL.

We find that we contrived iremarks the Ma
tonal inteiligencer,) i'll scrutinIZjng MIR. WEB
sTER's Speech for the expected disclosures a
bout the dissolution Of the Cabinet, to over
look the following very frank and very impor-
tant statement of facts. 1t seems to us to COM
plete the testimony: adding that of the only
one of Mr.. TYLER's official advisers who had
not heretofore spoken. Mr.. WEBSTER says
cat the special session of Congress the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Mr.. Ewing, submitted to
Congress plan for National Bank, founded up
on the idea of large capital, made up by private
subscriptions, and having the power to extend its
branches all over the country. j need not advert
TO the circumstances of its presentation to Con-
gress. IT HAD RECEIVED THE APPRECIATION OF THE
PRESIDENT, AND WAS CONQUERED IN BY EVERY
MEMBER OF THE CABINET as TIE BEST THAT
COULD BE DONE for, as we said, circumstances
had placed in the first place the gentleman whom
we all thought good enough for the second and
his opinions were different from ours, but fixed {;
and we deemed it the part Of wisdom and pru-
dence to see how we could get along as well as
might be under the circumstances. Mr.. Ewing S
plan was sent TO Congress as it had been descTib-
ed, except that the bank could not establish BRAN
ches In the States without the consent of the
States"
Such is the report Of Mr.. WEBsrER's words
IN the Tribune and that of the Herald varies
only the words, but not the sense.
Now this is the bill of which Mr.. TYLER
has affirmed that lie lad nCucr read IL until
after ras sent IN 10 Congress from his owR
CaJjncf. Mr.. WEBSTER declares that the
President had given it his approval, and that
the Cabinet and himself yielded their own o.
pinion as TO the branches i'll the Slates-thc

merican Minister to Russia, has been endorsed
five times successfully, by many different
steeds, at recent review of the troops by the
Emperor. The horses were from the Emperor's
studs and it is reported that the falls Of the Min
lister afforded much amusement to the Russian OF
fcers, especially the Cossacks. Certainly the

an opportunity of relieving yourself from pecIni-
airy difficulties, and making yourself comfortable
for the restof your life. l think, by living in

lars year; and at the expiration of four years,
You can retire with snug little fortune of $780,

but Mr. Bolts, why do you limit me to four
gears" why, SIR said Mr.. b., 'you are ac-

Wing party came into power. We are surely
