A NEW PAPER In wAsHrsGroS.

The "'Sote Rights Register and National
Economist" made its first appearance yester
day. 1t is very handsome weekly, and full
of interesting matter. Mr.. c. G. Baylor, the
editor and proprietor, is known to the public
as the enterprising founder of the Baltimore
Times, and the Cotton Plant.
The Register is not, as some might suppose,
an incendiary or sectional journal. 1t advo-
Gates with equal cordiality THE RIGHTS OF
ALL THE STATES. 1t makes the Constitu-
ton Of the United States its guide.
The first volume Of the Register will contain
large number Of State papers and historical
documents, that every statesman, every scholar,
and every citizen should have in his library
These papers cannot be conveniently procured
They are not bound together. They are much
scattered and difficult 10 obtain. The FIRST
volume of the Register viii contain them all,
and the yearly subscription TO il is only So
far less than volume containing all of these
valuable and interesting papers would cost.
We wish the Register success--snd transfer its
leading article to our columns.

Miss Eliza Logan.

From Glcason's Pictorial Of July sth.
We present TO our readers this week a Dor.
trait of Miss Eliza Logan, the actress, from a
daguerreotype by Whipple. TO very many her
name is already as familiar as a household
word for during the past two years, she has
played brilliant engagements throughout the
leading cities Of the Union. But there NAV be
others, who, possessing that laudable curiosity
which is Characteristic Of our countrymen.
might desire some brief account Of this most
estimable lady. Miss Eliza Logan was born
in the city Of Philadelphia, in August, 1890.
Her father, Mr.. G. A. Logan, is we'll known as
an author, manager and actor and for twenty.
five years sustained his position as comedian,
with credit. The value Of a good education
was duly appreciated by Mr.. Logan and his
wife, and their children received that careful
culture which the best schools afford Miss
Logan was educated at Lancaster Pennsyl
vania and exhibiting decided predictions for
the stage, her parents permitted her to make
her first appearance as Young Norval at the
Chestnut street theatre, Philadelphia, which
effort was crowned with entire success. From
this place, she visited Cincinnati, where she
performed some time, serving her term of pro.
baton in the ranks, before aspiring to com.
mand; and it is evident that TO her father She
is much indebted for many acquisitions, which
greater experience than she has enjoyed, could
alone procure. Her popularity has increased
from the day she first assumed the position
of a star, and her recent engagements in Bos-
ton, Nashville, Memphis, Savannah and other
places have gained for her not only extended
fame, but have produced on the part of mana
gers desire for frequent visits from one Of the
most profitable American actresses. The Bos-
ton Eceniag Gazette, speaking Of this lady, re-
Gently remarked: "Were we to describe Mics
Logan to one who had never seen her, VIC do
not think that we could convey better idea Of
her ability, than by styling her wholesome
actress one whom you do not witness with
fear and trembling lest she break down, but
who creates a sympathy by the physical power
she possesses TO deliver, with pathos and force,
those lengths which so often tax others Of less
nerve" To this we would add that correct in
her readings, and intense IN her delivery Of
impassioned passages, Miss Logan never fails
TO approach a point with decision, though by
her originality she sometimes disappoints those
who have ssen the representatives Of Evadne,
Pauline, Julia, &C., and are prepared for con.

THE CIVIL vs.. THE MILITARY
POWER.

In the declaration of principles made by
THOMAS JEFFERSON, proclaimed in his first in
sugural address, as President Of the United
States, he solemnly advises his countrymen to
preserve the supremacy Of the ciril, orcr the
military authority" as part of the republican
creed. This advice of the great patriot and
statesman was gloriously responded to by the
representatives Of the people, in the House Of
Representatives, on Thursday last. In the bill
making appropriations for the support Of the
army, an amendment was offered "repealing SO
much of existing laws as authorize the appoint
ment Of military officers to superintend the op-
erations Of our national armories, and making
II the duty Of the President, by and with the
consent Of the Senate, to appoint civilians to
those stations" This amendment was adopted
by vote of III 70 AZ, and the bill with this
change was passed by the House.
1t will be recollected that, early in the pre-
sent session, We suggested and advocated this
measure. In doing SO then, and in congratu-
lating the people on the result now, it is but
Just to ourselves to say that we yield to none in
admiration Of and kind wishes for, the welfare
Of our gallant army. Among its officers are
many of our most intimate and esteemed friends.
And whilst kept within their legitimate sphere
Of service, they will find no warmer advocates
when government aid is required to protect
their interests. But we never can recognize
the propriety, either upon principle or public
utility, Of placing officers of the army in any
subordinate position under government which
can be filed by citizens 1t is repugnant to
the spirit Of our republican institutions--ne
will be tolerated by the people-and persist
ence in Il cannot fail to be deeply injurious to
the army. We have in our corps of scientific
civilians, In our mechanics Of every description,
q body Of men unsurpassed in any country
and fitted to gil any civil station under our
government. Whenever public works of any
description, therefore, not lcgitimately belong
ing TO the army or navy are 10 be constructed,
let them be put under the charge Of civilians Of
ability and integrity, and there will be no Diff
Guilty in obtaining the necessary appropriations
from Congress.

THE GREAT LAND BILL.

The Homestead bill, in the shape in which it
came from the House, was an apple of discord
in the democratic party, threatening dissen-
sion at moment when that party can i'll afford
to indulge in any differences leading to aliena-
ton.
To avoid this evil the senator from Virgins
lar. Hunterl undertook to prepare bill
which, while it embodied principles acceptable
to the friends Of the Homestead bill, avoided
those features which gave rise to insuperable oh.
jections in the minds of many true democrats.
The task was no easy one, for it was necessary
not only to accomplish this union of the party
upon the question, but to do it in such man.
ner as to render this great issue, upon which
the democratic party plants itself, impregnable
against all attacks from the combined opposi-
ton.
In this endeavor, the senator from virginia
has succeeded in accomplishing measure,
alike the most difficult in arrangement and i'm
portsnt in its bearings. 1t will have the post
OF honor on tho democratic standard.
In the final vote, 50 entire was the ratifca-
tion by the democratic party, that not single
member Of the party appeared in opposition.
Thus has the democratic party great rally
ing point, around which its members viii flock
wherever the proud standard of the party is
unfurled.
The great peculiarly of the democratic party
is its fearlessness in proclaiming its principles
and boldly fighting up to them.
The looseness in the democratic ranks is oc-
casioned BY the fact that its opponents have
abandoned every issue upon which they have
hitherto opposed it Like an army after a
great victory, in which its enemy has been over
thrown and utterly disbanded, the demo.
cratic party has allowed looser discipline
but the time has now come, for the drum TO
beat, to arms and for the democrats to rally
around their standard.
The motely crew in opposition propose, as
their platform, the abandonment of every prin-
ciple, and the combination of every heteroge-
neous clique and ism in the land. The rum.
seller and the temperance men are to forget
their feuds, whig, abolition and freesoi, tariff
and anti-tarif--every shade hue and color are
to unite under the new standard Of opposition
to the democratic party-that standard un'
furled, is 10 bear lone star, with the single
motto" The negro, our FIRST last and only
principle"

METALLIC PARTICLES IN THE EYE.--A French
provincial paper states that blacksmith who
had been suffering from the impaction Of I
metallic particle in the cornea for week, was
relieved by the following colyrium, after every
attempt at extracting the splinter from the eye
had failed Iodine, one grains iodide Of
potassium, ten grains; rose water, three ounces.
AS soon as this solution was applied TO the
eye, oxydation Of the Metallic particle took
place, and it's brilliancy disappeared. The dis
tressing symptoms about tho eye abated, sight
was restored, and nothing but q microscopic
fragment Of metal left in the cornea. A solu-
bic iodide of iron had been formed.

ventional clmaxes, which she avoids, prefer
ing to step aside from the beaten path, and
leave to impulse what others owe To art. In
short, we think the great beauty OF her perform
ance is the wonderful accuracy in the detail Of
the character she represents; the accuracy
with which she modulates the emphasis of every
wordi her natural, easy gesticulation the ex-
preston of her look, the truthfulness Of her
conception, and finally, the happy and perfect
manner of its execution. In the private walks
Of life, Miss Logan sustains reputation sur
passed by none. The death of her father left
to her charge the support of mother and
family of younger sisters. How nobly she has
toiled, it would not become US to state. Her
career thus far has been onward; and with the
blessing of health, there is no limit TO the
height in the dramatic world 10 which she may
yet attain.

THE NoRTHERN NATIONAL DEMO
Gratis,

Suspicion ever harbors in the guilty bosom.
No saying is truer than this, and there can be
no more infallible test of ingrained turpitude,
than habitual aspersion of motives. We have
been led to make these remarks from witness
ing the wholesale denunciation of northern
democrats by freesol abolition papers and
freesoilers. While none Of the parties making
the charges of corruption, can, even in their
own best conceptions of themselves, compare
favoraby with those northern and truly ma
tional men who voted for the Nebraska bill;
yet they hesitate not to charge every degree Of
moral turpitude upon them. What have these
men done to provoke, we viii not say justify,
these atrocious and calumnious attacks? Have
they-has any one among them, proved re-
creant to the interests of his constituents?
Have they been less attentive to every inter
est within their districts? Have they been
less successful in promoting those interests !?
What interest have they neglected? Ifnone--
if they have proved watchful, attentive and
successful representatives of their districts and
States, what more could any one do? Besides
their duty, as representatives of districts and
States, these gallant true-hearted national men,
have acknowledged their duty as national re.
presentatives, and have faithfully performed it,
trusting to the sober second thought of the
people.
In abolishing the Missouri compromise, have
they not simply obliterated the only black line
which mars the face Of our country with evi-
dence Of sectional strife2 Every patriot of the
Revolution, and every one who joined in form
ing the Constitution, have united their voices
in testimony against all who should seek to
make sectional differences In the language
of patriotism and eloquence, we were to be but
one country, knowing no north, no south, no
east, and no west. At an i'll hour the fires of
discord arose, and, by a sectional scorching
line, defaced the earth, dividing in bitter an
tagonism, the north from the south. That
black line has remained, in desccration Of
every sentiment of our patriot fathers. It's
obliteration by the Nebraska bill removes
the only sectional law which disgraces our
records and leaves them all fair and clean.
Do the constituents of any of the senator's and
representatives of the northern States suppose
that their senators or representatives can serve
them less usefully because they have secured
for them the good will and support of all
southern men? Which of the two are most
likely to succeed with Congress in passing
their measures, those who strive with unceas.
ing bitterness to array the entire south against
their constituency, or those who, while they
neglect no opportunity to advance the interest
of their constituents, deem it entirely consist
ent with those interests, to remove all sources
of heart-burnings and to Danish every sectional
irritation?
We appeal, most emphatically, to the people
of the north, and ask their candid judgment as
to which of the two classes of representatives
are the more patriotic, the more useful.
