Philip S. White.

This distinguished and popular temperance
lecturer delivered an address in the Methodist e
piscopal Church on Wednesday night last to a
very large congregation of listeners-of
which we were one. Mr.. White is something of
an orator, and would make favorable impression
upon an audience but for a dash of Bentonian
bombast, and the staggering mimicry with
which he almost invariably accompanies the rela-
ton of an anecdote. The force of his remarks
was considerably diminished on Wednesday night
by illusions to Philip S. White (eugraved) and
Philip S. Whites Puritan Ancestor, whose por-
trait Gin oiI may be seen in the Rotunda of the
National Capitol. 1t seemed to us, also, that Mr..
w. treated sacred things with rather more levity
than was either necessary or becoming. Mr.
White expressed the opinion, based upon intor-
nation derived during his travels through the
State that the people of Virginia are prepared for
Prohibitory Liquor Law, and presented few
arguments in favor of such law. His address
was adorned occasionally by very pretty rhetori-
cal hourishes, and enlivened BY number of CAPT
tai anecdotes among which the man who
squeezed thequarter so hard that the eagle squea-
ed figured as usual. On the whole, his speech
was entertaining and amusing, but not particular
" calculated to advance his cause-at least such
was our opinion.

Questions of the Day.

Our Democratic friends in every part OF the
State are Greatly exercised at present as to wheth-
or they Shall adopt the two-thirds rule IN then
sepr,aching State Convention, and whether reso-
l.,,o,s shall be introduced in regard to Hunters
,,,ol Bill. It seems strange that there should
n. any difference Of opinion among democrats,
m such questions The two thirds rule, howev-
o. justified in National Conventions, is clearly un-
necessary ia State Convention, and is, moreo-
xar decidedly m-democratic everywhere. The
Democratic party pumes itself upon its special re-
,rd to the popular WILL and yet 1t hes'tates about
Submitting to the voice of the majority, and VIII
,iel 70 nothing less than two-thirds. lfthls rule
be correct in nominating Conventions, 1t is equal
~ 50 at the polls; we hope, therefore, the rule
will be- extended, and no man be recognised as
Governor who shall not have received two-thlTd'
Of the popular vote Those who advocate the
.ule rs much as say to the rest of party, we
cant have the candidate Of our choice, and you
ourht not to have yours. This IS about all Inc
meaning that can be perceived IN the proposition
The ,doption of the rule will no doubt result II
the nomination of some person not yet named TO
Governor.
The question relative to the Hunter Land Bill
is perhaps more important issue, The time
was when the Virginia Democracy were not
ftaid to show their hands upon the Public Lane
question formerly they were wont on all occa
sions-in season and out of season-to hit up incl
voices on the subject But all OF sudden the.
have become wonderfully reserved. This chang
would be marvellous if it were not known that
wide Difference OF opinion exists in the party rel
alive to the matter, and in order to heal the breac
it is necessary to smother discussion and sacrltc
principle. Those who oppose any resolution o.
the subject virtually declare that no matter wha
course Mr.. Hunter and our Representatives L
Congress take in reference to the public lands tn
party must support them, so long as they ca
themselves Democrats!

Tbe Mechanics, Insti,ute.

One of the most attractive exhibitions which we
noticed during our recent visit to the Metropolis
was the Fair of the Mechanics Institute. A.
mongst other notable objects on exhibition we OBJ
served "Stauley's Indian Gallery" consisting oil
more than one hundred oil paintings, representing
the manners and customs of the various Indian
tribes. We also noticed the two boats-"Fannie
Skinner" and ''Fannie Mason"-in which Lieut.
Lynch and his party made their explorations on
the Dead Sea and the Jordan. Besides these
and other articles of striking interest, the large
three-story building in which the Fair was held
was filled to overlooking with countless varieties
of rare and beautiful specimens of mechanical
skill and ingenuity, The exhibition was scarce
ly inferior in point of interest to the Agricultural
Fair and attracted large crowds of visitors by day
and night.
The opening address before the Mechanics In.
stitute was delivered by our talented contempora.
Of the Richmond Dispatch-Olver P. Baldwin
Esq. We had the pleasure Of listening to his
happy remarks, which were received with de-
monstraiions of applause by the large audience
copyrighted on the occasion.

The MONEY PREssURE.-From all parts of the
country but particularly from the North and West
we have accounts Of great pressure in the money
market. Looking under the Geographic head in
any of the large daily papers, such captions as the
following constantly meet our eye :-"Money pan
ic at Pittsburg," "Monetary excitement at Gin
clnnai," "Failure of the Cleveland Canal Bank. =
Tight times at Buffalo" sc. SIC. In New York
city the prices of property have declined, all i'm
provements in the way of new buildings are sus
pended. and every kind of business is suffering
from the pressure. For many months past all The
Banks in this State have been run upon by the
Brokers to such an extent that now general sus
pension of specie payment is apprehended. The
specie is going to Europe to pay for our imports
but the same complaints Of tight times are heard
from the other side Of the Atlantic.

NATURALIZATION and Ernnehise.

The New York Courier has an article on the
subjec; of our naturalization laws, which contains
some interesting facts not generally known. The
only positive work which tho Constitution does
in regard to foreigners is 10 prescribe. 1t has but
five clauses touching the subject, four of which
are prohibitory, and one simply permissive. These
clauses specify who may not be President, Vice
President, Senator and Representative, and the
last confers the power upon Congress of passing
naturalization laws, leaving it discretionary wheth-
er to make foreigners citizens at all. The act Of
Congress of 1890 required two years previous res
dence in order to naturalization the act of 1885,
five years; the act of 1898, fourteen years; and
the act Of 1902, five years. After naturalization
has been conferred it cannot be retraced. Natu,
raiZation confers no right to VOTE each State hav-
ing the exclusive right of declaring who shall ex-
ercise that franchise. The Constitution does not
guarantee liberty of conscience, as many person:
imagine 1t simply prohibits the making ''a re.
lgious test the qualification to any office or public
trust under the United States" and enjoins that
"Congress shall make no law respecting the es
tablishmen of religion or prohibiting the free ex
ercise thereof" Any State, therefore, may pass
laws erecting an established Church and imposing
religious tests without violating the Federal Con-
stitution. In most ofihe State Constitutions, how
ever, religious liberty is guaranteed.

FROM CALTFoRNIA.--The steamer North Star
arrived at New York, on the Oh, from AspinwalI.
bringing California mails to the 18th Of October,
and ST 100000 in gold on freight
The steamer Yankee Blade left San Francisco
on the 30sh of September for Panama, and was
wrecked on the following day. She had on board
SUI passengers, besides her crew and fremen
when she struck the Reef rocks, off Point Ar
guello fifteen miles above Point Conception.
A heavy fog hung upon the coast, which was
the cause OF the disaster. The Captain supposee
the steamer to be twenty miles from the coast al
the time OF the disaster. The scene among The
passengers Is represented to have been awiul,fi
teen OF whom persisted before they were rescued.
There were terrible scenes of pillage on board
after she struck, and before the passengers were
rescued by the steamer Goah All The specie or
board, amounting to S53,O00, was lost. Tho
ship is total wreck, having soon washed to pie
ceS.
A French fleet, consisting of three frigates and
a soop OF war, arrived at San Francisco on the
Sd inst. They had in conjunction with the Eng
llsh feet made an attack upon the RUSSIAN towr
and fort of Petropanowski in KaInschalka.
The English and French were repulsed with
loss variOusly estimated at from one hundred tc
about double that number. The British Admra
Price, who commanded the combined fleet, was
killed by pistol shot during the engagement, and
it is supposed accidently shot himself.
Two Russian vessels had been captured by thi
allies. The British ships sailed afterwards toI
Vanccuver's Island.

We have been frequently asked, since our re-
Turn from Richmond, whether we learned, during
our sojourn in that city. anything in regard to Inc
"Know- Nothiugs" Well, it would be hard tC
,arry in that locality fifteen minutes without hear
ing something about them. People ought not tc
tell all they know, however, and so we keep dark
We may say that we learned this much; That
the "Know- Nothiugs" are very numerous III
Richmond-and also in the State; that they are
maturing their plans for participation in the
Gubenatoria contest, and expect to decide the
election. The opinion is very generally expressed
that Mr.. Wise has "'put spider in MS dump
ling" Strange to say, we did not meet man
during our absence who did not disclaim all con-
ncxion with the organization. The universal re-
ply is, 81 know nothing of the Know-Nothings"
