s'We are sincere in the principles we advo-
cate. ."-RepUblican, April 2.
So, We trust, are we, and in our article of
the Goth March we endeavored to express our
honest convictions of the position occupied by
the American party in regard to ''foreign in
1uencc.' The correctness of our position,
and the facts contained in our remarks, must
have been clearly manifest, and seem to have
disturbed the equanimity OF the editor of the
Republican to such an extent that he declares
we es'grossly misrepresent; when we ''insinuate
=: that the Democratic party are not now, from
H Maine to California, opposed to the identi-
- cal description of foreign influence de-
- rounced by Washington, Jackson and Bu-
chanan,'' TO which We referred in our article.
What the Democratic party opposed to for
eign influence! Come, come, ssneighbor, ?
you shouldn't attempt to rob us of our ''thun-
der" And if You talk in that way the for
eigners viii begin to think you have turned
American, and may call you 'Sbloody Know
Nothing or by some of those courteous
and s.respectful'' terms which you apply to us
betimes.

APPALLING FIRE.-1ntellgence received at
Charleston from Knoxsville, Tenn, states that
the town of Sevierville, in that State, was al
most entirely destroyed by fire on Tuesday
week. 1t originated in the house of Mr.. Dug
gan, Sheriff of that county, and involved the
destruction of the Jail, court house, store
houses-in fact, the whole village, with the ex-
ception of three or four buildings. The only
person in the Jail was man recently commit
ted, and he was burned to death, 81

resentatiyes has passed the usual resolution
for the purchase OF books Tor the Representa-
tives and Senators, by vote OF 81 to 60. The
cost of these books is about 81 800 for every

VIRGINIA has debt of S35, ,O0O, 900 on her
public works, and to complete them will re-
quire Sl0O,0O0,OOO more. But few if any of
her public works are now productive, and
large amounts are required to make them even
pay the interest on cost of construction. She
is on the verge of reputation.

TERRIBLE SICKNESS IN ODEssA.-A letter in

The European intelligence is unusually bar
rem of interest. The Peace. Conference at
Paris have virtually concluded their labors,
and we may regard the paciication as COM
plete for the present. OF the terms on which
the settlement is accomplished we have no
clear account as yet. From all appearances
they will be much more favorable to Russia
than the world in general has expected. The
reioicings at the birth ef the French Imperial
baby continue vociferous at Paris, not unmin-
gled with evidences of a deep under-current
of hostility to the Napoleonie dynasty. Bona
partc has granted an amnesty to the Republi-
can exiles, allowing them to come back on pro-
missing to be loyal to his Government and
to obey the laws. Three Generals, namely
Caurobert, Bosquet and Raudon-llave been

cess Royal, who viii presently be married to

Mr.. Dallas has arrived at London and taken
possession of his mission, amid general good
feeling. There is no indication OF the course
which the British Ministry viii take With re-
gard to the recall Of Mr. Champion and the of
Tending Consuls; though Champion is sharply
admonished by the Press for his neglect in not
delivering Lord Clarendon's arbitration dis
patch to Mr. Marcy. From Turkey we hear of
nothing but difficulties in the way of the new
reforms on the one hand, and of Western fl
nancial speculations at Constantinople on the
other. From India we have at last the final
proclamation Of the British authorities depo
sing the King of Dude, and annexipg his
country to the British Empire.

The GLORY AND SHAME OF RoME.-Uuder this
head the New York Express points attention
to the fact that the SsSistcrs of Mercy'' in that
city are soliciting contributions TO support the
orphans under their charge, while the s"1nsti-
tutc of Mercy" is a Roman Catholic establish
ment, under the special patronage of the Most
Reverend Archbishop Hughes-whose prince
" revenues and landed estates in that State
(Proycnce) have now for him the distinction
of .sthe modern Wolsey.'' While these poor
Sisters of Mercy are thus asking aims for the
daughters of poverty, and the sick, and the
dying under THAR care, this humble, self-sac-
rificing disciple of Him who on earth chad
not where to lay his head, - is not ashamed to
announce, in his official organ, that upwards of
nine thousand dollars has been raised already
to send over to the Pope, to build Ameri-
can College at Rome This College, we are
told, viii be the sscrowning glory; Of the Cath
olic Church in America. Heaven have mer-
cy on the sssick and dying'-Heaven take care
of the poor girls-for ii is clear the modern
WoLsEY will not. s.ThousandS for Rome, but
not one cent for New York, - is his motto
Reason-If the College in Rome is built the
reward is to be Cardinals hat, and the Cardi-
nal's hat may lead one day TO the tiara. a
Most Rev. Archbishop, with his eyes longing
for that prize, cannot be expected to devote
his revenues, or his svmpathies, to the poor,
the sick and the dying at home. The goddess
ssAmericans,'' the ssinsect'' Know \ othings,
the heretical PIotestants, must take care of
them in the ''Institution of Mercy.'' just as
they are taken care Of in the public Aims
houses.

ANOTHER VErER ~ C foNE.-C Commodore Con-
ner, one of the veteran patriots. whose chival-
ric bravery added lustre TO the American Ma
w in the war of 1912, has paid the debt of ma
ture. He had been in the service about forty
five years-about half of which was in the ac-
tive service. He entered the Navy in 1909,
and was on board the Hornet during her en-
gagement with the Penguin in 1914, where he
was wounded, and from whence he carried to
his grave bali in his body.

a STORM AHEAD-The PenRSyfrGRidH copies
a paragraph from the Washington Union, in re-
lation to the departure of Mr.. Buchanan from
England, and makes this bitter comment -
s.We suspect that the fact announced in the
above paragraph is true, although we do not
consider the Union very good authority, Just
now, for anything that relates to Mr.. Buchan-
an. a more dSrcputable attempt to deceive
it's readers could not have been enacted by the
Union, than the suppression of the resolutions
in favor of Mr.. Buchanan, passed at some OF
the recent meetings in Virginia. The Berke-
ley proceedings, published in the Union, were
greatly mutilated, and as they appeared, were
a fraud upon the Democracy of the land. The
resolution in favor of Mr.. Buchanan was left
out of the body of the proceedings. Such
morality can have but few admirers, even a
mong <scurvy politicians :"
1t would seem from the foregoing that the
friends of Buchanan and Pierce are not likely
to have a very harmonious time in the Cincin-
natl Convention, and that the conversion of the
Union, the official mouth-piece of the party.
into an electioneering organ devotipg all its
influence to securing the succession for Mr..
Buchanan, is already strongly resented.

THE COURTS OF Illinois have for decision the
most perplexing question that ever puzzled the
brain OF aJudge. The question is, what CON
stitutes democracy ?'' The question origi-
mated thus y Democrat at Alton subscribed
S25 to sustain Democratic paper, but after
wards refused to pay his subscription because
the editors views of Democracy did not coin
eide with his own. The editor sued for the
money. Several prominent Democrats were
called to the stand, but the testimony as to
what Democracy is was decidedly incongruous
and conflicting. When the question has gone
through all the courts, We shall let our readers
know the result. Here there is no difficulty
in solving such an enigma, as whoever swears
by the Pennsylvania Canal and Portage Rail
road is considered dsound.-Lewisfo,cn Gaz.

The wild woman, who has for some
time been on exhibition in this city,

macy. before the Probate Court, q num-
Der Of physicians of the first respecta-
bility being present, and from the ev-
idence given and the facts elected in
the examination of her person by the
physicians, it appears that the largest
portion of the mystery in the case is
humbuggery. She is a woman of re-
markable appearance. and when first
brought to the city was about the
widest looking human creature that
we ever saw. If her wildness had
been acted, then she is an actress ofno

Oats are rapidly decreasing. and prices
