THE RAscAL!-We learn from the St. Louis Re-
publican, that last spring a scoundrel assuming the
name of Francis Rivers. appeared in that city and
married young and very respectable lady. They
afterwards settled in Peoria where. three months nf
ter marriage, he deserted his young wife, robbing her
of considerable amount of jewely. and everything
sue had, aud taking in her friends to the amount of
several hundred dollars. After leaving her, he went
TO Albany, N Y, where, assuming military dress.
he passed himself off for Lieut.. John L. Eaton, U. S.
Navy, and soon after contracted marriage with a
young and wealthy lady of its neghborhood. But be-
fore the honey moon with his new bride, he
detected and exposed by two gentlemen of St.
Louis. Sence then, it is understood that he has yet
another wife in Cincinnati, Ohio. II is time for the
newspapers to take hold of him. He is yet at large.
and we hope general hue aud cry will be raised so
that he may be brought TO the penientIary without
delay.

From the st. Louis Reveille
Peace Congress at Paris.

We have not yet received the full report
of the proceedings Of this body, although
some little time has elapsed since its ad-
iournment. Henry the Fourth, Of Navar-
re, as we learn from sully's memoirs, was
the-frst individual in modern times who
originated plan for the preservation of
permanent peace in Europe. This scheme
provided for Congress of Nations to be
assembled at stated periods. The repre-.
sentation to be equal as between sovereign
States, and the physical force Of the whole
to pledged to the duty enforcing the re-
QUESTIONS of the Congress. In that day
the dominion of brute force was too abso-
lutte to give any prospect Of success to the
plan, and since then, although philoso-
piers and philanthropists have sketched
out variety Of plans Of organization for
such a Congress, nothing has been brought
forward by any one occupying position
which would enable them to exercise a
controlling influence in the affiirs Of Eu
rope. There have been large alliances
and partial combin tions in Europe at
several periods, for the promotion Of har.
mony among the members ofthem, but all
these combin atoms have had war upon
others an object as well as peace among
themselves. Of this character was the
Hans ,atic League the Confederation oi
Rhine, and the Holy Alliance.
In the present condition of European
affairs, there is but slight hope. indeed. o.

moral power of the world for its supper
The conquest Of Hungary, and the victo

dominion Of brute force; and it is expect

the ignorance, the vice, and the degrade

The conflict upon the continent Of Europe

Below we have collected from the Office

The latter vote is not strictly correct, as
in several counties, where there were two

had to average the vote so as to get the
