The New York World says sit is no wonder
and matters of state" 1t copies a text from
the London Times, and comments on it as if
the Americans were like the English people.
1t assumes that because sections are quiet
now, where they were turbulent years ago,
their quiet is the sign ofindflerence and apathy.
The truth is that in the rapid growth of the
country the, field of battle has been changed, and
very many Rip Van Wrinkles have not noticed
the change. The conservative" people,
whose chief employment consists in making
bargains with the democrats, find very great
consolation in the apparent indifference with
which the result of the present campaign is
anticipated Their ambition ends in the ex-
pectation of making petty and petarious trades
with other minorities, and of gaining advan.
tage from state of feeling which they do not
understand. In no section of the country
is there any real "apathy real indif.
ference to the result. Memories of the
past may buttress the foundations; and hopes
of the future rise like palace walls; but the
living who are 10 occupy the building will not
The indifference as to political changes"
which the World assumes that the people feel
in relation to our political affairs, is simply
result of the higher and more enlightened
method which has been introduced into our
political warfare. The absence of the usual
electioneering frenzy in New England and New
York is significant of nothing more surely than
that the people are confident of realizing their
purposes by the appropriate and decent meth
DDS which they prefer. whether negro
slavery is to flourish or to die out is problem
for the future neither Lincoln nor Brock
inridge can affect it much during his four
years of office. Why should a good citizen
fret himself, when Nature is taking things cool
ly, and Fate is in no hurry 2" So says the
false and mfdel philosophy of the London
Times, which the religious World endOrs
es. The institution of slavery has had
its champions in the control of this
government for many years. They have done
their utmost to increase its influence, and ex-
tend its power. The positive sentiment of the
states opposed to its policy, expressed in local
elections and through societies whose influ.
ences reach within its control, have done very
little more than to command moderation in the
exercise of its power. With the change of the
executive, from one which uses its great pow.
or on the side of chattelism and bondage,
to one which will use its influence on the
side of free labor and free men, and with
the same popular sentiment to sustain it, it is
gross atheism to represent that the question
of slavery is an unsolved problem, or that
thinking men should be Indifferent because

THE ROYAL BALL.
Three balls were given this evening That
given by the Orange Association was favored
with the presence of the handSOmest men, ana
it was there the best dancing was witnessed.
That of the citizens ball was favored with the
presence of the handsomest women, and what
their dancing lacked in quality was made up
i'll quantity-their list of dances being the
longest. That of the city was favored with
the presence of his royal highness the prince,
and supper, which would have made Down
ing take to his bed for week. was served as
badly as that on board the Great Eastern.
The prince came at ten O'Clock, escorted by
the Canadian rihemen. He was received by
the mayor and council, and was conducted to
the private dressing room provided for him.
One had also been provided for the duke OF
Newcastle. Both were handsomely furnished.
The ballroom was beautifully decorated with
vases and wreaths of flowers. A curtain at
the end concealed the supper tables, which
were laid in two tents OF red and white
canvass, The effect was considerably mar
red, however, by some of the servants gaping
through, which caused considerable laughter.
The prince opened the ball with Madame
Langevin and Mrs. Justice Curran UlS a us.
The prince wore his usual uniform. Miss
Irvine, daughter Of Colonel Irvine, was the
princes second partner for polka. She was
dressed in magnificent white dress, with
wreaths of flowers. The prince was in great
good humor, and talked with everybody who
wore uniform, especially little MILDLY, who
will be the Tommy of the suite when they
reach New York. The little MILDLY generally
chooses the largest women for partners, and
the contrast seems to give peculiar delight to
the prince. The prince danced twenty-five
out of twenty-tour dances. He missed one
being at supper, and the other because he had
started for the supper room. He came back
hearing sweet waltz tune playing, and while
dancing waltz he slipped and fell heavily on
the floor, dragging his partner, Madame Car
tier, the wife of the Canadian premier, over
him. Neither of them were injured, and the
prince instantly jumped up and raised the lady
so quickly that but few in the room knew of
the occurrence. He apologized to Madame c.,
and continued the dance.

The last duel in New Orleans was fought on
Wednesday, between a gentleman from Mo
bile and d cotton broker, whose place OF bust
ness is on Carondelet street. The English
man took offence at some disparaging remarks
made by the broker concerning the queen OF
England, and constituted himself the champi-
on of his sovereign. Colts navy revolvers,
distance five PAGES, were the conditions OF the
combat AT the first fire the Englishman fell
dangerously wounded in his left breast.

BRIDE OF Two DAYs.-Two weeks since a
family came to this city, took up their resi-.
dence, and commenced keeping boarders.
The landlady had Il daughter at that time un-
married. On Tuesday last a rather tashily
dreysed young man, who gave his name as
Greeley, called at the house and wished to get
board He was accommodated. The daugh-
ter OF his hostess, being rather good.looking,
attracted his attention, and they soon formed
an acquaintance which led to marriage, tue
ceremony being performed on Thursday last
after two days courtship The young couple
seemed happy enough. The same day the
husband went to furniture store and rented
$500 worth of furniture which he had taken
to his wife's mothers house. Everything
promised prosperous journey through life.
But it was discovered on Saturday that the
husband had made himself scarce, and had
gone no one knew where. A search was in.
stituted for him, but unsuccessfuy, and the
rascaity of his proceedings were made more
manifest when one Of the boarders discovered
that the sloper had taken in his hurried fight
a vest and pair of pantaloons not belonging to
him. Another boarder, about this time, also
realized that the new husband had been opera.
ting on his stock in trade, aud had taken off

the stolen garments in. The unhappy wife of

To the President and Board Of Trustees Of Am
herst College:
Gentlemen-I have been duly notified that
at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees,
the title of Doctor Of Dicinity was conferred
upon me.
1t would certainly give me pleasure should
any respectable institution bear such a testi-
mony of goodwill. But that Amherst Col
lege, my own mo- her, should so kindly re-
member a son, is peculiar qualification.
But all the use of such title ends with the
public expression of a wish to confer it. For
the rest, it would be but an incumbrance, and
furnish an address by no means agreeable to
my taste. greatly prefer the simplicity of
that name which my mother uttered over me
tn the holy hour of infant conservation and
baptism. May be permitted without SEEM
ing to undervalue your kindness, or disesteem-
ing the honor meant to return it to your
hands; that [ may to the end of my life be, as
thus far have been, simply
