Phonography.

The art Of photographic reporting is the
best ever invented, but nevertheless some
times leads to mistakes. Not long since, a
member of Congress was making Speech
in which he intimated that truth was much
dearer to him than party, quoting the Latin,
"Amicus Socrates, omicus Plato est sed major
oeritas." (Socrates is my friend, Plato is my
friend but truth is much more my friend)
This appeared the next day in the report as
follows: 81 may cuss Socrates, may cuss
Plato" said Major Veritas!
The sounds were somewhat like, but then
there was little difference in the meaning.
On another occasion, Senator Bright ad
something to say about his constituents and
''dctual Settlers" Now it sometimes happens
that the signs for words of different sense
are in photography so nearly alike that the
right word can only he judged by the con-
text. On this occasion the reporter did not
probably write out his own report, but left
it to some careless clerk, and the conse-
quence was, that Mr.. Bright was astonished
the next day to see his constituents referred
to as ''cattle stealers," in his speech-"actual
settlers and "cattle stealers' being repre-
sented by the same signs in Photographic
writing.

Damascus.

Damascus is the Oldest city in the world.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbed on the shore:
Balbec is a ruin; Nineveh and Babylon have
disappeared from the Tigris and Euphrates;
Damascus remains where it was before the
days of Abraham--a centre Of trade and
travel--an island of verdure in the desert
"a predestinated capital" with martial and
sacred associations extending through more
than thirty centuries. 1t was "near Damas.
Gus" that Saul of Tarsus saw ''the LIGHT from
Heaven above the brightness of the sum-"
the ''street which is called Strait" in which
it was said "he prayeth," still runs through
the city. The caravan comes and goes as it
did thousand years ago; there are still the
sheik, the ass and the aterwheel; the mer-
chants of the Euphrates and of the Mediter-
ranean still "occupy" these with multitude
Of their wares"
The city which Mohammed surveyed from
a neighboring height, and was afraid to enter,
because sit is given to man to have but one
Paradise, and for his part he was resolved
not to have his in this world" is to this day
what Julian called it, "the eye of the East"
as it was in the time Of Isaiah, "the head of
Syria"

titul fabric of cotton and silk, with vines and
flowers raised upon smooth, bright ground;
the damasE rose, introduced in England in
the time of Henry VIII; the Damascus blade,
so famous the world over for its keen edge
and wonderful elasticity, the secret of whose
manufacture was lost when Tamerlane car
RED off the artist into Persia; and that beau
tiful art, of inlaying wood and steel with
silver and gold, kind of Mosaic, engraving

1t is still a city of flowers and bright

still murmur and sparkle in wilderness of

not see why the same rule thus rigidly ap-
piled to our own people should not also be
applied to the Indians within our common
territories. If it is said we have no statutes
providing for their punishment, and no courts
and officers to execute them, we answer we
have means to bring them to a moral ac-
countabilty, and means to punish them
equally effective. We suggest to the coun-
try, at all events, whether, in view of the in
creasing importance of our inter-contnental
affairs and the necessity which exists for con
solidating our national territories, a more
vigilant federal police over the Indians is not
demanded! In our judgment economy and
the expenditure of means, justice to our
selves, and a wise forecast of our great po-
litical interest in the future, call for revis
ion of the past policy of the government in
reference to those high questions.

The Law of Divorce in other States.

We have thirty-two States, and there are
almost as many different laws of divorce as
there are States. The reader may see some
of these differences by the following state
ment:
/. In tie States of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi two-thirds of the Legislature
must concur with decision bv the Court
to make divorce
2. In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Missouri, no divorce
can be granted, but by special act of the
Legislature, and South Carolina has never
granted a divorce
3. In the States of Connecticut. Ohio and
Illinois, all divorces are total.
4. In Massachusetts, New York and North
Carolina, nothing but unfaithfulness is cause
of divorce.
5. In Illinois, two years absence, only, il
a cause of divorce.
9. In Indiana, we believe, anything is 6
cause, in the discretion of the Court. In
the recent Presbyterian Assembly, at Chica
go, an elder from that State rose, on the tria
OF Mr.. Shield, and said that, as he came
from Indiana, be desired to put on recort
that Amos Davis goes against diyorce!"

Douglas says the Kansas Questionis settled

The Broderickites, knowing we'll the odum
in which their leader is held by the people
of California, are endeavoring to make capi-
tai for themselves out of the use of the name
of Mr.. Douglas. They are trying to make
the impression that Mr.. Douglas is opposed
to Mr.. Buchanan, and that the present COM
bat is between Buchanan and Douglas. In
order to show the falsity of their assertions,
we publish, to-day, Mr.. Douglas remarks, on
the 9Th of June, in order that every one
may know how he stands towards the Ad-
ministration, and intend to keep it standing
until after the election:
"He referred to the Kansas question as a
past issue and declared that epe,y good cih-
zen should be satisfied wih whateuer decision

The Contest for the Opposition Nomina
ton in 1860,

The New York Herald shrewdly suspects
that the late meeting to inaugurate new
party, that took place at Dover, Del, was
designed for Senator Crittendens Presiden-
tial aspirations. The Herald is correct. The
fact is well known to the initiated here, says
the Washington Star. The truth is the
canvass in favor of Senator Crittendens
nomination for the Presidency, by the op-
position, has already opened with vgor A
large number of leading opposition politi-
clans of Congress and ont of it are actively
engaged in it, among them being most of
the Republican party managers of the New
England States, who have-it is believed
with Horace Greeley at their head-deter-
mined that they will defeat the nomination
OF Gov. Seward, because, strange as it may
seem, he has Of late evinced a more cosmo-
politan-national - sympathy in the dis,
charge Of his Senatorial duties, declining to
war on measures of the Administration in
bis judgment called for by the exigencies of
the country, for the sake of opposition. 1t
is very clear to our mind that Senator Seward
has also fallen into disfavor of the intense
anti-slavery wing Of the Republican party,
who hold that OF late he has ceased to war
with his accustomed fiefceness upon slavery
in the States. The grounds on which bis
nomination is opposed by many of his for
mcr warnest supporters, are certainly such
as to win for him, as statesman, far more
Of the respect and confidence Of the country
at large than he ever before possessed. AS
for the matter Of the opposition nomination,
we have a shrewl suspicion that he WILL in
| : l,o he |
distinguished Kentucky rival, who never was
his equal in political management, as perhaps
no other living American politician Of either
party really is. As the next is-Senatol
Seward's-Iast chance, he will he found tc
have successfully used Senator Critenden,
and those now engaged in drumming for
that gentleman, to render the assurance Of
their own defeat doubly sure.

Mutual Admiration Society

The Black Republican County Convention
at Sacramento gave the following endorse
ment of their friends and co-laborers, Broder-
ick and McKibben:
Resolved, That the conduct of the Hon.
ID. G. Broderck, Senator in Congress from
the State of California, during the session of
the late Congress is worthy Of high appro-
baton and approval and evinces regard for
free labor and free men, equally becoming
the State he represented and the situation
which he occupies.
Resolred, That the course of the Hon. j.
G. McKibben during the late session of Con-
gress has been manly, courageous, and just;
that he deserves highest praise for his oppos-
ton to the Administration in its attempts to
destroy thepurity Of election and defeat pop

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE SLAVE
QrEsrIoN.-The Archbishops and Bishops
of the Catholic Church. who were re-
Gently assembled in provincial council at
Baltimore have issued a pastoral letter to
the clergy and laity of the denomination
Among other subjects to which it refers is
the slavery question, in regard to which the
clergy are cautioned to preserve non-com-
initial attitude The letter says:
Our clergy have wisely abstained from all
interference with the judgment of the faith
ful, which should be free on all questions of
policy and social order, within the limits of
the doctrine and law of Christ We exhort
you, venerable brethern, to pursue this course,
SO becoming the ministers of Christ and Dis
pensers of the mysteries of God. Let the
dead bury the dead. Leave the worldnes
the. cares and anxeties Of political partnership
for ascendancy, and the notifications Of dis
appointed ambition. DO not, in any way,
identify the interets Of our holy faith with
the fortune Of any party.

Toast with new Dressing

At the meeting held by Forney and Nc
kibben, to endorse the latter, in.PhiIadeI-
phia, and after Joe had described how he
was dragged out of coyote hole and ruth
lessly driven, by the "white slaves of the
North" to the State Senate and to Congress,
Forney toasted Senator Broderick as
'The lion-heartcd embodiment of the manly
State which he represents"
"Strong sense, deep feeling, passions strong,
A hate of tyrant and of knave;
A love of right, scorn of wrong,
OF coward and of slave."
We can paraphrasc this so that it will ap-
ply to the toasted and the toaster:
The pewter-hearted disembodiment of the man
ly State which he does not represent.
Wrong sense, deep dealing passions wrong,
Bait for sycophant and for knave;
Lover OF fight, a "horn" Of strong"
A "blowhard" and "shaven
