A New BooK.-A short time since, q
series Of interesting sketches appeared in
the New York Evening Post, entitled
Matrimonial Brokerage in the Metrop-
Oils" which attracted considerable atten-
ton, and were extensively copied by the
press. They are now to appear in book
form, with the title as given above. This
remarkable book adds a strange but au-
thentic chapter to the history Of the city
Of New York, and exposes one of its most
corrupt and dangerous institutions, bring
ing to light some strange doings Of the
notorious Mrs. Cunningham. Every i'm
portant particular of the narrative, which
by many was believed to be mere fancy
sketches, has been established by the afli-
davits of the actors in the scenes deserib-
ed. It will doubtless have the most ex-
teRsive sale of any book that has appeared
for many a day. 1t is to be published
by Thatcher & Hutchinson, 523 Broad
way, New York, for the price Of 81.

A correspondent of the New York Elk.
press writes from Washington, the fol-
lowing rather deeply shaded and lugub-
rioGs account Of the Presidential pros
poets of Senator Seward
Seward has not so strong party as he
had in 1856; his Baltimore movement
will prove a pasoo D. Collins Lee, Of
that city, is the only friend he has in Ma
ryland Thsd. Stephens is against him
in Pennsylvania; Tom Corwin makes
him the butt of bis merciless ridicule in
Ohio; Banks can carry New England
away from him in four and twenty hours
Indiana would not touch him with a ten
foot pole. In fine. he is politically de-
finct; as dead, in fact, as Timothy Mum
roe was when Weed sat upon his body,
on the shores Of Sodus Bay, and pro-
nounced it the body Of William Morgan.

CONGRESSIONAL SOVEREIGNTY. - The
old question of the right of Congress to
pass laws for the regulation Of the Terri
tories that may apply for organization. is
to be revived again in the case of Arizo-
ma. Mr.. Grow Of Pennsylvania has Civ
en- notice Of an amendment he shall offer
to the bill organizing that Territory, af-
6rming that slavery has no right to exist
therein. This will serve to show "who
is who" on an issue that must enter prom
inently into the next Presidential can
vass. Republicans can consistently &C.
cupy no other ground than that Of the
right and the duty Of Congress to exclude
Slavery from new Territories, and if An
IT, Lecompton Democrats and Americans
will not join them IN maintaining this
position now, it bothers us to see how
they can hope to cOalesce hsrmoniously
a year or more hence. Let the contest
come dubuque Times.

New YoRK Observation-Disclosures

New YoRK MERcURY-ENTERPRIsE.-
The publishers of the New York Mercu-
ry have stolen march upon Bonner, Of
the Ledger, in securing the exclusive SER
vices of an eminent writer, who cannot
fail to add greatly to the interest and
popularity of any paper to which he con-
tributes. That writer is Bayard Taylor,
who will commence on the 30th inst,
and write exclusively for the Mercury.
This is greater event than the accession
of Edward Everett to the Ledger; for
while Everett is deservedly popular in
this country, Bayard Taylor is equally
popular here, as man, and far more so
as writer, and is, in addition, possessed
Of an enviable celebrity throughout the
entire civilized world. AS an author, he
has not a superior; aud his writings
cannot fail to attract interest. Before
this accession, the Mercury was one Of
the best literary papers in the country
and with this brilliant addition to its
galaxy of contributors, it may defy RI
valry.

CoAL.-Some time since. Mr.. Jefferson
Griffith opened coal bank on his farm.
three miles west of this place. and took
out large quantity Of coal. A species
was found, which judges pronounced to
be good quality of camel coal. Mr..
Griffith soon abandoned digging out the
coal, and removed to Iowa, and the bank
has remained idle ever since. Last week.
Capt. R. P. Moore, of the White Cloud
Ferry Boat, and John F. Gulick. Esq,
Of Indianapolis. Ind. having heard Of
tho bank, went and examined it, and at
once became satisfied that the coal was Of
a super quality. and the supply i'm
mense. that it would pay well to dig
it out. Mr.. Moore at once proceeded To
the pt and purchased the bank, and ht
is now making preparations to work il
on an extensive scale. He proposes, in
a short time, to keep large supply con
stantly on the river bank, for the use o
steamboats,, and to sell to any persons
who may desire to purchase. He think
he can afford to sell it at a very reasona
bic price. He is a man of energy, anC
we hope he may realize his highest ex'
pectations.

This work win prove to be the most

Her style is free from insipidity on one

ers of majority Of the Missouri River
boats have entered into combinations, un-
der various styles for their lines, for the
purpose of controlling the trade, and die
tating their own terms. But some Of the
boatmen are too honorable to join in
these combinations, and continue to run
their boats independently Of them all
The combinations have inaugurated q
petty system of annoying the independent
boats-sueh as advertising to leave al
the same hour, charging little less fare
steaming up when their rival gives signs
Of doing the same. starting out just ahead
of her. keeping near her throughout The
trip, and every little annoying movement
that they can make. Their object is to
run the independent boats out Of the
trade, when they can have it all then
own way. The independents deserve
patronage in preference TO all others, and
we are happy to learn that they are re
ceiving an unusually large share. Th'
Omaha is one of the independents-aLt
her owners have never yet permitted he
to enter any Of the combinations. On be-
last trip, the Hannibal was acting in tn
capacity of annoyer but we understand
that the Omaha got ahead Of her, no
many miles above here. We. also learI
that the Omaha had the heaviest freigh
and the largest list Of passengers to St
Joseph, that she ever carried at one trip
She had a good load when she reaches
here, and was bound for Sioux City
There are several other independent boat
in the trade, which we are not just nov
able to mention but whenever we hea
of such an one, we shall take occasion Il
recommend it to the public, in preference
to those belonging to combinations.

The Washington Union of Marcel

thus pays its respects to the memory o.
Henry Clay:
"Clay up to the year 1924. was a no
bic party leader. A man of soul, and oil
generous, patriotic impulse. he had spo-
ken always from inspiration within, and
had been the idol of the Democratic
misses Of the country. In taking office
under Mr. Adams he lost the confidence
of the masses. and forfeited his popular.
ity at the South. His whole public ca.
reer after that was necessarily shaped, in
consequence. to secure the applause Of
CLASSES at the North his whole public
life became life Of head-work."

DEATH OF THE Hon. o. II. Smith
The Hon. o. Hampton Smith, of Indi-
ana, died at his residence in Indianapolis
Saturday night last. His death was ow-
ing to q breaking down of his vital pow
ers under the drain made upon them by
severe and long continued labor. He was
eminent as hard worker. He was ma
tive of Pennsylvania, and emigrated to
Indiana in 1917, settling at Rising Sun.
In 1918 he removed to Lawrenceburg.
where he studied law. In 1920 he re-
moved to Connersville. where he present
ly became politician, and was elected
to the Legislature. In 1926 be was elect
ed to the National House of Representa-
tives. In 1886 he was elected to the Sen
ate of the United States. He was Chair
man Of the Committee on Public Lands,
and was distinguished by his usefulness
in that position. He was defeated by one
vote, when a candidate for reelection to
the Senate. His successful competitor
was E. A. Hsnnegan. In 1888 he re-
moved from Connersville to Indianapo-
lis. For several years he was very active
and influential in the promotion Of rail-
road enterprises in Indiana.

PUBLISHING THE LAws.-The Nashville
Republican is discussing the question Of
requiring the publication OF the State
laws in at least one paper in every Com
ty. 1t says:
We have always commended that the
laws Of State should be Published in its
local papers. Il is precedent that has
set and vigorously lived up to in almost
most every State in the Union, ours being
about the only solitary exception. 1t is
the only channel through which the mas
ses can be made acquainted with the laws
which they are bound to obey. The old
axiom, that every man is bound to know
the law, has become obsolete-indeed II
never should have been otherwise. How
is a man to know and obey the provis-
of . law which be has never sseen or read.
is question that we never could settle in
Q manner consistent with common sense
