THE $500 CLAUsE.-The PROPOSE
tion to repeal the Three Hundred Doll"r
Clause of the Gonseription Law meets with
far more vigorous opposition throughout the
country than was expected. At the time of
the passage Of the Act; this clause was defend
Cd by its author aud by the Administration
Journals, as an eminently wise ard Just pro
vision. And in spite of the cutlery against it
on the ground that Government wants men
and not money, it remains to be seen whether
the Government has not obtained more sub
stitutes from the Communication money paid in,
than have been furnished by individuals.
When the present Draft shall have been
entirely completed, we shall have facts upon
which we'ean estimate the success of the
+. .Goyernmentin in acting as substitute broker.
OF one thing we can be sure, viz: that there
have been thousand fold more frauds in the
substitute business done by individuals, than
in that done BY the government
If this clause is repealed the eopperhe2ds
will have the satisfaction of knowing that
tsasv killed a wise and beuefeent enactment.
If uney had not excited the popular prejudices
and passions against it for partizan purposes.
there would have been no probability OF a

Failing Health Of the Pope.

Pope Plus is rapidly failing. Turin
letter dated March 16, published in an
English paper, says:
1 have received from Rome some infor-
information which, considering that it comes
from the brother of prelate at that Court,
1 think may be regarded as reliable. The
career of the Pope is fast drawing to close;'
the old man is fading day by day. His own
phrase is that his weeks are numbered
He declines most of the RENE les which the
physicians propose. A sad smile is always
on his lips. He remains for whole hours
without speaking word, plunged in
profound reverie. He eats and drinks very
little. There has been consultation of
physicians from Paris, sent by the Nuucio
according to some, by the Empress accord
ing to others. But they were sent to little
purpose. "The lamp wants oil,' said the
Pope himself. "but the oil of life is only
given by God. When it pleases him to
extirguish my lamp. 1 am ready" The
Pope is quite tranquil, aad avoids as much
as possible discussing any political ques-
tien.

How FORTUNES ARE MADE AND LOST N
WAR TINES The N ew York Journal of
Comm cree gives the following INSTANCES of
the hazard ofmercantile transactions during
war times:
An invoice of six hundred bales of cot
ton was consigned to this market, on En-
glish account 1t was sold at niuety-thres
cents per pound, and the seller at once en-
gagged his exchange for emittance. Be-
fore the transactions were concluded, the
turn came, and both cotton and exchange
came down. The buyer of the cotton was
not able to take it, but the buyer of the ex-
change was compelled to fulfil his agree
ment, SO that he was compelled to pay
5000 on his part of the transaction,
while the cotton still remained unsold -
Take another instance: A celebrated man
ufacturer bought of very clever specula-
tor eight hundred bales of cotton for for
ward delivery at high price, say eighty
eiobt cents. Cotton went down, down..
down, every day. and the manufactqrer
warns into panic. So he settles his con-
tract by paying over to the fortunate oper-

A Pretty Trick.

Governor Tod having been indicted by
the Grand Jury of Fairfield County, under
the laws of Ohio, passed by Republicans
Legislators against kidnapping. was, IN the
case of DR.. Olds, served with the warrant by
the Sheriff on Friday last. Hearing that the
Sheriff was 10 Columbus to serve the war
rant, the following scene occurred, which is
narrated in the Commercial of Saturday by
It's Columbus correspondent. Itsays: i.
The secret was passed around among the
Union Senators, and the motion to adjourn
withdrawn. A call of the Senate was or
dered, doors closed, and the Sergeant-at-
arms sent for absentees. The Democrats
looked wild and could not understand the
sudden change in the policy of the majority.
The object was to get Union Senators
enough present to pass the House Bill, OF
Bierce's Senate Bill, to make it legal for
Federal officers to arrest citizens of Ohio, In
doing which the present law against kidnapi
ping would be repealed. and the foundation
of the Sheriff's warrant knocked out; but
strategy failed. Too many Senators had
gone home. Hoping to thwart the Sheriff
until the absentees were overhauled by
lightning, the telegraph was set to work to
return Senators who had started home.-1
Meanwhile the Senate took a recess until
seven at night. The Sheriff, however,
gained access to the Governors office, and
served his warrant
Is not that beautiful disclosure? How
could the repeal of the law affect the case
of Tod and Olds? Its repeal would only
take effect in the future. and not in the past.
Laws can never be retrospective In their
operation. The Governor could not get
clear of going to Lancaster in that way, but
did by the following process: .f,..
While the Sheriff @as,hansing on, writ
of ha5eas corpus came from Judge Gholson
of the Supreme Court, requiring the Sheriff
to bring the Governor before him. There

trated. The Governor was released by Civ
ing bail that he would appear before the
Fairfield County Court in June next There

Death ofSecretary Chase's Brother
Arbitrary Arrests.

Arbitrary AFEeStSs
We are advised, upon what We have
right to regard as unquestonable authority,
that the recent sudden death of Secretary
Chase's brother-Hon. E. j. Chase, United
States Marshal of the Northern District OF
New York-is attributed by his nearest
friends to the Influence upon him OF the
summary orders of the Administration, com
manding him to arrest aud incarcerate q
number Of bis lifelong neigh bors and friends
upon pretended charges Of "disioyalty -
Upon first receiving his orders, 1t is salo
that Marshal Chase wrote or teiegraphed 10
the Department, rem opstfating against tho
arrests, but only received in reply an imper-
ativs uneudate for the execution OF the or
der. He thereupon called upon the parties
acqdainting them with the facts, and 10
forming them that it would be necessary Tor
him 10 obey, to which they assented. ac-
Quitting him of all blame or completely In
the matter. A kind hearted man, of warm
aud strong personal attachments, it is easy
to Imagine the Influence of such proceed
ing upon Mr.. Chase. He returned to bis
home, was soon after seized with an 6ffec-
tion of the heart, and expired at half past
ten stbe same night.-Milwaukie Hsws'
