The combination party, which sustained 30
signal defeat in our election on Monday last,
still keeps up great outcry about the opinion
Of the circuit court, and the fact Of its being
suppressed, or kept back from the judges Of
the election. But no one has yet published
that certificate Of the clerk, which Il is said
was signed by the judges, or was approved by
the judges, or was corrected by the judges,
for they have II in various ways. We deny
the existence Of any such paper, and call for
the proof. Indeed, we have satisfactory evil
dence that there was no such paper as is thus
described.
We have heard, indeed, that the clerk Of
that court undertook 10 grant certificates,
which were prepared by member Of the bar,
and that he did, In fact, issue them, and they
were placed In the hands Of ono Of the Deputy

Abducting an American Child.

letter writer at Rome gives the following in
stance OF religious child-stealing. The New York
Observers correspondent states the facts as fol-
lows:
"A day or two since, a lad, the son of an Amer.
lean artist, the wellknown illustrator of Harper's
Illustrated Bible, was missing. The domestic,
most devout Catholic, protested her innocence Of
his whereabouts. The lads little brother was
called, and, in his innocence, remarked that he
guessed he was at the convent. This was the first
ntimation the parents had that their children had
ever visited convent.
"They then sent for Hon. Mr. Glass; who took
the boy with him, and went in in his ordinary
dress, TO the convent. The manner in which the
inmates gathered around and welcomed the boy,
convinced Mr.. Cass that the boy had often been
there, and led him to believe that the brother
would be found there. He inquired for him, but
the Superior stouuy affirmed that he was not in
the convent. Mr.. Cass requested 20 be shown
through the establishment His request was
granted, but no boy was found.
Mr. Cass then noticed a passage leading 10
another building or another part Of the building.
lie insisted on being conducted thither. Hearing
a noise in a room, as he passed along, he opened
door and found priest or two at table, and
seat Just vacated lie insisted that Il was the seat
Of the lost boy. The priest denied t. Mr. Cass
then made himself known ms the representative Of
the United States and pretty distinctly intimated
that some Of Jonathan's thunder would be put in
requisition u the boy was not forthcoming imme
diately. The boy was then brought forth from an
adjoining room, and restored by Mr. Cass to bis
anxious parents
The womans excuse was, that if she could save
the souls Of the children all her sins would be par
doned. Probably the lying Superior and priests
had similar views OF the proceeding.

ANDREW JOHNSON A DEMAGoGUE.-The Rich
mond Enquirer, the Oldest and most influential
Democratic paper in Virginia, spoke as follows Of
Governor Johnson's message to our last Legisla-
ture:
The message of Governor johnson of Tennes-
see, has awakened some attention. 1t certainly is
a remarkable document IT exhibits as little knowl
edge of the nature of governments as it does of
those for whose benefit they were created. 1t also
exhibits mind which, if possessed Of much power,
would be- dangerous, and which seems TO have no
understanding or appreciation of anything conser-
vative. Upon the assumption that the expressed
convictions of Mr.. johnson are honestly held, his
views are unstatesmanlke. If he be honest he
panders to demagoguisrn too low to be at all
dangerous"

dent, detailing the state ofthings in the American
party.
We can scarcely credit the statement, but If Mr..
Wise read from book containing what purported
to be an exposure Of the secrets Of the party-a
book that should not be honorably maintained nor
honorably used, 1t is nearly as disreputabe as the
employment of a hired or gratis spy. The interest

SHORT PAssAGEs.-The clipper ship James Baines,
Captain Charles Mcdonnell, made the passage from

back to Liverpool, in SO days. The whole voyage,
including detention in port, was performed In lac
days, or less than Ave months. This, we believe,
Is the shortest voyage by forty days ever perform.
ed by any steamer or clipper. Her outward pas
sage is cqualled only by the homeward passage Of
the Lightning, Captain Forbes, which was made in
GO days The Champion Of the Seas, Captain New
lands, made the passage out in II days, and home
in 81. These three magnificent clippers have eI-
celled all the passages ever made by any British
build vessels bound TO or from tho same ports
They are owned by Messrs. James Baines 4 Co.,
Of Liverpool, and we're all built by Mr. Donald Nc
Kay, of East Boston. The Donald Mckay belong
ing TO the line and built by the same builder
probably sailed from Liverpool to-day, on her first
voyage to Melbourne. She Is the largest of the
line, has Howe's rig, and spreads as much canvass
as a 74-gun ship. She Is fuller modelled than any
of the Others but Is longer and has greater breadth
OF beam, which will probably compensate for the
absence Of very sharp ends. Mr.. McKay's ships
now head the list on the Australian course, as wen
rs on that to California. The clipper ship Night
ngale, Captain Mather, made the passage from
Shanghai to London in OIL days l6 hours-said 10

Star Of the East sailed about the same time, and.
at last accounts, was reported In the Channel, es
