The LIE gisIature.

In the Legislature, Monday, a message
was received from the Governor in reply 10
aresolution asking the expense of the Har-
per's Ferry affair, in which the Elk, eutive
states that, as these expenses have not yet
ceased, he cannot give the scost. He adds
that the military force at Charlestown has
varied between 200 and l,600 men. He has
ordered the force to be reduced from 1000
to a mere military guard, of sufficient
strength to insure the security Of the prison
ers.
A resolution was introduced in the House
inquiring into the propriety Of compensa-
sating Walter Shirley, foreman of one of
the Charlestown juries, for portion Of his
property, destroyed by an incendiary.

say that it restored the powers of my digestive

far from puff patent medicine, an article it

The Fugitive-slnye Case.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-This afternoon the
counsel for the defense moved that Commis
sioner Longstreth hand the case over TO another
Judge, for the reason that the Commissioner
had prejudicated the case, and acted as though
he advocated for the claimants, it having been
shown in tho evidence that the Commissioner
pronounced the first power of attorney of the
claimants as insufficient, and informed them
that he would be obliged to release the slave if
arrested under it, and that by his advice II
new power of attorney was obtained. =. "a
Benjamin Brewster, for the claimants, ar
guod that it was eminently the duty of the
Commissioner to give this information before
he issued warrant.
The Commissioner Overrllled tho motion
The evidence for the defense is mostly from
negroes. 1t was endeavored to prove that the
alleged slave arrived at Harrisburg in March
or April, 1858, which the claimant alleges es
capped in July in the same year. One witness,
an intelligent colOred man, swors that he met
him in Baltimore as freeman in 184S, and In
Philadelphia in 1sI9, and also met him in Har-
risburg in 1858. His evidence was straight
and forward, and was not shaken by a rigid
cross examination.

The CENTURY OF WoMEN.-An ancient Ger
man legend, quoted by Florence Nightingale,
in her admirable account of the Kaiserswerth
Hospital for Nurses, long years before the Cri-
mean war had tried her noble nature and made
her name immortal, speaks of the nineteenth
century as the destined "Century of Women"
In this happy age, womanh0od was to rule the
world, and woman setting herself to man,
"like perfect music unto noble words" was to
subdue all the discords of the earth. Up to
this time the prophesy has received many con-
firmations. Never before has woman played
so great part for good and i'll in the worlds
affairs as during the last fifty years. Our pris-
ons and our poor bless the names of Mrs. Fry
and Miss Dix, with their myriad sisters of
mercy. A woman endears monarchy to the ris-
ing Tepublicanism of Great Britain by her vir-
tues and her wisdom. Three European thrones
have been filled within the century by women.
| "Women's rights have invaded the courts of
| law, the schools of medicine, the sacred desk
itself. We are, indeed, apparently upon the
very verge Of general gynoerdcy in authorship
| and in actual life.
The foreign policy of the United States, SO
far as the United States have had any foreign
policy for the last two years, has been chiefly
directed, as our readers know, by woman
an accomplished, high minded and honorable
lady, now threatened, as wo regret to see, with
the wrath of the President and the abuse of
his confidential organ, for doing in Nicaragua
precisely what the President has from the first
encouraged her to do. .s..
And it now appears that the most dangerous
enemy to our policy in Mexico is also woman.
The wife of Mr.. 0tway, the English Minister al
Mexico, q Spanish lady Of character and ability
is in such relations with Madame Miramon al
have determined her to mako the English LIE
CATION perfectly subseryient to the wishes ant
; the views of NJ. de Gabriac, the French Envoy
and of the Church party. Her success has q
far been brilliant and formidable. How car

From Washington.

New YORK, April 6.-The Herald's Washing
ton correspondent says that Ran Runnells. the
newly appointed Consul at San Juan Del Sur,
Nicaragua, left here to-day with dispatches for
Gen. Lamar, and also with dispatches to Com
modore McClung, Of the Home Squadron, and
Commodore Long, Of the Pacific Squadron.
He goes out in to-morrow's steamer from New
York. These dispatches are understood to be,
as stated yesterday, of peremptory charac-
ter, and will show to the Government Of Nicar-
aqua that the United States will no longer sub
NIT to its double dealing. The policy of Sir
William Gore 0usley has been weak enough, as
it is feared to yield to the influence of Mr..
Manning, the British Consul in Nicaragua,
and exceeded his instructions.
He will prove himself unfit for the important
| task he undertook, and ought to be imme-
diately recalled by the British Government.
Great activity prevails in our Navy Yards,
| in getting ready vessels for Immediate service.
| The Lancaster, Hartford, San Jacinto, Con-
stellation, John Adams, Levant, Portsmouth,
| Mohecan, Wyoming and Narraganset havo
| been ordered TO be prepared for sea imme-
| diately.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Quartermaster's .
Department is curtailing its expenses as rapidly
as the public service will admit. In addition
to the two military posts on the route to Utah,
three are to be dispensed with in Texas, and
orders hav, been issued to stop the purchase
of mules, eto.
Advices from Africa say that the African
Squadron is still repeating its monotonous
drudging up and down the coast for the dis
tance of 5000 miles. The health of the men
was tolerably good. The Dale left Sierro
leone on the 9Th Of February for MonroviR;
thence northward to Bathurst, Tonce, Cape do
Verds, and further as the public service may
require.
The recent order to fit out the new steamers
is not with special reference to the events in
Nicaragua. The design is to relieve the vessels
in the Pacific, and other squadrons.
The dispatches sent to Gen. Lamar are, it il
represented, of the most positive character.
They instruct him to demand from Nicaragua
an apology, restitution and indemnity-on the
failure to comply with which, he is to ask fol
his passports. The Home Squadron, it is said
will be strengthened and the vessels placed Al
the disposal of Gen. Lamar, to use them foi
the defense of American citizens, their prop
erty and their vested rights. Tho dispatches L
flag Officers McCluney and Long, commanding
respectively the Home and Pacific Squadrons
are to obey the orders of Gen. Lamar.
On failing to receive them, they are to excr
else latitudinous discretion. ....s.
The usual diplomatic course has been pursue
in informing the foreign legations of the inten
tiOns of the Government.

IT is said that an Insurance Company of
this State, with an agency in this city, has been
issuing policies, even up to this time, when it
is known that it ceased paying losses half y
year ago. If such is the case, it ought to be
exposed. 1t is not always that a home conf
pany is good because It'll chartered by our own
laws. Let insurers be cautious, and see what
bottom there is to those who take their risks.

"Two valuable dogs" In the name of all
that is useful, We ask of what value is dog in
the city Is it valuable for what it cats? Is
it valuable for the feas it disseminates for
the nuisances it commits? for their bowling
and yelping O. nights for the annoyance and
profanity they cause to the wakeful and well,
and the suferings and imprecations they in
duce to the sick : arc they valuable for their
worrying hogs, swapping at horses and other
animals that pass in our streets are their
values in the biting of children, and OCCASION
ally tearing grown person or are their great
values to be found in their dissemination of
hydrophobia, destroying now COW, next
some hogs, then horse or two, then human
being or two, with the most horrible disease
known to man? Valuable dogsi Why, there
are probably forty thousand dogs in and about
this city, and not one of them of any value
whatever, but individually and collectively are
unmitigated, worthless nuisances.
"Dog- stealing seoundrelsP' Why, if an or
| ganized gang would steal all the dogs in the
city, they, the stealers, would be the mos
blessed institution among us. Splendid New
foundland-and splendid fangsl Were tn,
suffcrings of poor Wright, who died Of then
