pB- The Charleston Mercury is violently
opposed to receiving Douglass back into
the locofoco party. That paper has seen
in him no signs of stricken conscience,
or willing Submission to the Admins
tration." Does not the term-"submission
to the Administration, sound harshly
in the ears of freemen? How is a bad
government to be reformed, if those who
hold the power to reform it, are thus to be
forced into the support of the very wrongs
that should be corrected. The spirit of
freedom is dead, whenever submission to
the Administration" becomes the test of
merit, and the party that exacts it, is made
up Of the traitor few and the enslaved
many. Give us proof, Mr.. Douglass, Of
"a stricken conscience" and thorough
Submission to the Administration, and
you are once more a democrat. This is
the decree Of party protesting devotion
to freedom.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

The condition of the National Treasury
is naturally enough attracting more than
ordinary attention. II is believed that the
existing National Administration is one Of
the most extravagant that We have ever
had. The leaks have been terrible, and il
the Florida and Mormon wars had been
carried on few months longer, Mr.. Secre-
tary Cobb would have found it exceeding
ly difficult to raise the necessary funds

The deficit is in one year and three

At the opening Of Congress, Deficiency
Bills to the amount of 81 100000 were
presented. The expenditures for the yea,

EIGHTY THREE MILLIONS THREE HUNDRED

R@- We publish, to-day an admirable
letter from the Hon. John Bell, in reply
to an invitation to a public dinner in the
city Of New York. 1t breathes the genuine
spirit of patriotism and devotion to the
Union, and we offer no better proof of its
intrinsic worth than the fact that it is de-
nounced by the locofoco organs as the
production Of Black Republican. Any
thing that bespeaks an honest devotion to
the country, and the wisdom to guide its
councils and direct its destiny is a fragrant
insult to locofocoism, and for the same
reason, we suppose, that nymphs of the
pare would be incensed at one who would
discourse to them Of the beauties of chasti-
ty. An attempt is made to mar the effect
of this by the assertion that John Bell is
an aspirant to the Presidency. Wonder
full discovery ! and the Union & American
ought to have it patented. Is there a
prominent politician in the Union who
would not like to be President? We pre-
sumo not And almost every locofoco in
the land has hopes that it may be his turn
next--especially since it is known that
obscure worthlessness is quite recon-
mendation. A man must neither write
nor speak, lest he be charged with aspira-
tious, and he oughtn't to do it, since they
stand the best chance who can do neither

STURGEON, THE CELEBRATED REVIVAL.
1sr.-The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon: of London.
probably one of the most remarkable men
of the age, continues to excite, on both
sides of the Atlantic, an unwarrantable de-
gree of attention. On the occasion of the
recent national fast, Mr.. Spurgeon preach
ed to an audience of $4,000 persons in the
Crystal Palace at London, during which
he thus defined the Gospel:
If any man here should be in doubt on
account of ignorance, let me, as plainly as
I can, state the Gospel. / believe it to be
wrapped up in one word-Substitmion.-
1 have always considered with Luther and
Calvin, that the sum and substance of the
Gospel lies in that word, Substitution
Christ standing in the stead Of man. II
1 understand the Gospel, it is this: de-
serve 10 be lost and ruined; the only rea-
son why should not be damned is this
that Christ was punished in my stead, and
there is no need to execute sentence twice
for san. Christ took the cup in both his
hands, and
"At one tremendous draught of love,
He drank damnation dry"

A Bill 10 Extend the Provisions
of the Mechanics Lien Law.
MORMON VERSION.

Before the adjournment of the house on
Friday, Col Blair (of Muskingdom) asked
and obtained leave to introduce House bill
No. so, supplementary to the act entitled
"An act to create lien in favor of mechan-
les and others in certain cases." which was
thereupon read tho first time.
The bill provides that any person who
shall perform labor, or furnish materials or
machinery, for or on behalf of any railroad
company, or to be used in running any
train of cars on any railroad belonging to
such company, or any person who shall
perform any labor for such company as con-
ductor or otherwise by virtue of contract
with its authorized agent, shall be entitled
to all the rights, liens and advantages that
are allowed by the act TO which it is sup
Elementary, and the act amendatory there
to. The act to take effect from and after
its passage.
The effect of the bill is simply to extend
the lien of mechanics and others for labor
and materials, to railroads, with all their
fixtures and appurtenances.
Occasional riots, causing destruction of
railroad property in considerable amount,
might have been prevented by the existence
of some such law as this at an earlier day.

The RED Pettlcoat the Rage.

= 80 ADC0 4 eAC 1se~0Ss
The HScarlet Petticoat" has made its ap.
pearance in Broadway. Queen Victoria
was bewitehed by the appearance of the
Scotch iassies about Balmoral castle, in
red petticoats, and metropolitanized the
style by causing introduction into London.
The first of the red petticoats in this coun-
try was one worn by Lady George Ouseley,
in Washington, fortnight since. All the
promenaders of Pennsylvania Avenue were
dazzled with it. The New York Herald,
of Tuesday, says of its introduction into
Broadway:
1t was on Saturday afternoon in Broad,
way, when the faneurs were astonished
and delighted by two pretty women wear
ing the scarlet petticoat. The storm had
ceased-the sun shone for the first time in
two days-and the avenue was crowded
with ladies, who had came out for little
fresh air. The heroines in scarlet had pref
ty feet and ankles, and they tripped daintily
along, holding their gowns clear of the
mud of the pare. 1t was pretty, neat,
tasteful, piquant and altogether distract
ingly tempting. The scarlet petticoat has
its uses and will save many rich silk
from ruin. 1t is too short to drabble in
the mud and a spot of mud will hardly
show upon it. The scarlet petticoat needs,
though, a pretty foot, well shaped ankle,
neat boots and white stockings of purity
above suspicion. So equipped, the slayer
of male hearts may go forth conquering
and TO conquer. Some of the petticoats are
made with stripes, which has apretty effect;
and they are all of substantial stuff, which
will not be blown about by every wind,
doctrinal or otherwise.

MfraculOus..A Physician Con.
verted and Diseases Cured on
the Instant.
The Rev. Father Gaudentius Rossi, as.
sisted by the Rev. Father Anthony Calan-
dri and Luke Baudinell, all belonging To
the Passionist Monastery Of Blessed Paul
of the Gross, Birmingham Pa, have for
several weeks been giving missions, with
marvellous success and effect, in diferen:
parishes of the Diocese of Brooklyn.-
These holy and selfdenying missionaries
gave their first mission at st. Joseph's
Church, Bedford, in the bounds of Brook
lyn city.
The religious interest excited by this
first mission was of the most remarkable
character. The church was thronged at
every service; more than five thousand
went to communion, and at the close of
the mission, some twelve or fifteen nom
Catholics, some of them persons of supe-
rior education, were received into the
church. In the course of this mission, it
is asserted on creditable authority that
God was pleased to manifest his favor by
special graces of an external character
The rumor, some say, went abroad among
the humble, who mostly compose the par
ish, that bodily diseases were cured by
some of these missionaries. The blind, the
lame, the afflicted with various chronic dis
eases, were brought to the church in great
numbers The sensation created by this
movement among those unprepared by
their education for such sssigns following
them that believe" was intense. Father
Gaudentius blessed those that came to him
with the relics of the holy founder of his
order, Blessed Paul of the Cross, and in
some cases cures were effected on the in
slant. Others were popularity reported,
but not so well attested as to be cited here.
A physician of Brooklyn was one of the
number converted by the grace bestowed
in this mission.
The Rochester Onion remarks on the
above that it could believe the whole story
except the conversion of the physician
That, the Union claims, is miracle too
impossible for these latter days.

| The Mall carrier arrived this morning
from Carson Valley, bringing the Express,
United States mail, and important dis
patches from Salt Lake City.
MORMON VERSION.
A Mormon writes to friend thus:
The troops arrived at Fort Bridger seven
weeks ago, with en- enormous caravan of
horses, mules and cattle. They wanted to
come into the Valley to establish the laws
of the United States, and put down poly
gamy; and release all those who wanted
to leave, agreeing to furnish them teams
and means TO reach either California or
the States.
Some of the head officers have been in
to the city to purchase grain and such
things as they wanted to use. They had
talk with Brigham, and told him they
came to civilize the people, establish schools,
&c. Brigham said to them that be didn't
want them here, but told them if they
would lay down their arms they might
come and stay here this Winter, and he
would find them provisions for the Win
ter, and they could leave in the Spring for
the States or California They replied
that they knew no orders only from the
President of the United States, and there
to come into Salt Lake City in spite of
Brigham or old Christ. Brigham told
them if they were bound to come, why not
come? what made them stay where they
were? We have taken from them 1900
head of cattle and burnt their wagons
We have now got the soldiers completely
surrounded. Some of them have deserted
and come into the Valley. They are we'll
treated. The troops do not know what to
do. If they give up their arms and come
in peaceably they will be well treated; but
if they undertake to come in by force, they
will all be killed. The Mormons are all
in high spirits, and say they will die rather
than have the soldiers come in their midst.
Hundreds of the boys are anxious to kill
the soldiers, but Brigham won't let them.
One soldier, an Irishman, said be was COM
ing in, and would take one of Brigham's
wives and prominade through the streets
with her.-Sacramento Union, Dec. %.

A party of young men on the night Of
Jan. 1st, at Whitewater, Wisconsin, was
engaged in giving newly married pair
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard N. Pierce cal.
thumpian serenade, or in common parlance,
"horning" them. When the din was at its
height, Mr.. Pierce ordered the party 10
leave, which they declining, he discharged
his gun into the air. This only increased
the excitement of the horning party when
Mr.. P. reloaded his gun and fired into the
crowd, killing one of the number instantly.
Served him right. If few more were
shot dead for engaging in this tom-foolery,
there would soon be none of it.

STARVATION IN NEW YoRK.-The New
York Tribune says, "a lady passing down
Broadway, near 14th street, a few days
since, when opposite butchers stand, was
startled by the excited appearance of au
intelligent-looking woman rushing toward
her, with clasped hands and look of des-
pair exclaiming 81 am hungry! l am hun
gyE' Stepping inside the store the lady
procured for her some potatoes and a
piece of meat. The hungry women quick
ly gathered the potatoes into her pocket
then seizing the bloody meat, put it to
her lips and ate 1t to the boneAthen say
ing, 81 must take this home to Eddie" !"
rushed wildly from the store, leaving the
salesman, and the lady astounded. In
credible as this seems, we have every rea-
son to believe it true.''
