CHICAGO, FRIDAY. JULY 4. 1862.
MATTERS .AT:rHE CAPITAL.


WAsHseTos, July 8, 1862
fefore the Judiciary bill passed the Senate
to-day, Senator Wrigbt's {ofIud.) amendment
Has adopted, reorganizing the western circuits
us follows:
Ohio. Indiana and Michigan for Seventh Circuit
Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin foc Eighth, :.
Ninth.
The House is thought likely to agree to
this arrangement.
3Ir. Sumner attempted to amend the judici-
a7y bill by permitting negroes to bear testi-
1onDy, but it was voted down BY q majority
which shows the Senate will do nothing TO-
yards legislating on co1ored evidence.
The Senate passed the bill making allow
onces to the 10Th Indians for the loss Of bag
gage ct Hatteras inlet last winter. Mr Tcun-
t'll opposed the bill to provide provisional
government for Arizona On the ground that
t;.sre were rot enough Inhabitants to call for
Il. The bill vas defeated.
Mr. AcDougal introduced q resolution to
have meeting Of the corporators Of the Pa
cihe Railroad, under the new bill, at Chicago,
en- the second Thursday of September next,
aa oversight in the original bill.
It IS expected that the railroad will be Wig
orousiy taken hold Of, and the general belief
is that there is money enough in it to have it
7lp;d}y pushed forward. Tie Senate thinks

and the Potomac arm5's route to the rebel
capital, is now the most important section Of
the United States concerned il the war. There
are certain points of the peninsula that have
heretofore been almost unknown to the gen

OF the horticultural Society yesterday
was partial failure. There was a good
show of Grapes and Pears; bu. in all else
the show was quite meaerc.
The attendance, too, was small; SO that
in pecuniary point Of view, the exhibi
ton must have been quite unsatisfactory

The tremendous rain and thunde,

+ From the Louisville Journal.

L 'bhi AbS AASAioNhiG
At a war meeting held in Boston the
other day, three speeches of surprising
excellence were made. One OF them was
made b. Mr.. Everett. We published that
in the Journal of Saturday. Another was
made by Mr.. Winthrop. We publish
that in the journal OF to-day. The other
was made by Judge Thomas. We will
publish that tomorrow. If any city in
the world can produce three orators who,
on sudden occasion, can produce three
better speeches than these; we do not know
where the city is or who the orators are.
When we reflect that Webster and Choate
and Parker are but just dead, and that
among their survivors, in addition to Ev-
erett and Winthrop and Thomas, are Hill
lard and Curtis and Adams and Dana and
Phillips and Sumner, and host of other
accomplished thinkers and brilliant ora
tors in the pulpit and 1t the bar. we are
constrained to admit that in the middle
of the nineteenth century, Boston atands
in the article of eloquence at least con-
spicuous above all the other cities of the
globe. She can outspeak the nations -
And certainly she is no laggard in action.
Now, as in the days of her great revo-
lutionary orators, of Ames aud Adams
and Otis and Hancock and Quincy, she is
as prompt and bold to fight for the coun-
try as she is to speak for it. All honor
to Boston. She is the Athens not only of
America, but Of the modern world.

to the fact that there are at least 10000
