Mr.. George Peabody, the great London bank

The house will continue, but its name will be
changed--It is also stated that Mr.. Peabody

States, but that he is resolved never to crafty

Maine War Claim Association.
To the Editor Qfthe Press,

To the Editor Of the Press.
My attention is called to an editorial OF
yours of the 10th inst, Ia which you, by i'm
plication, give the benefit OF your exclusive
Influence to new firm established for the
prosecution Of soldiers claims. As you have
heretofore endorsed most fully our Assocla-
tion as wise and benehcent institution, the
legitimate inference Is, that you no longer re-
gard US with favor or worthy of confidence.
Deemlng this unjust to the founders of our
Association, no less than to him who has been
charged with conducting its operations, and
prejudcial to the meritorious class whom il
Is our design TO benefit, l respectfully request
that you place this matter in its proper light
before your readers. GEO. +. EMERY,
Secretary.
We publish the above with pleasure. The
article to which it refers was handed in as a
communication, and we thought a star was
predxed to it. We take this occasion to say
that we retract nothing of what we have
heretofore said ia favor of the Maine War
Claim Association, believing it to be most
useful and benefcent institution for those SOL
diers and sailors who have claims upon the
Government. 1t has been the instrument of
doing vast amount Of good, and, through
the operations OF its worthy Secretary, is still
pursuing its noiseless course in securing the
claims of our gallant soldiers and sailors, who
have perled their lives in the service of their
country.
And, further; while we would dctract
nothing from the merits of Messrs. Manly &
Sawyer as Claim Agents, we would say that
there are other Claim Agents in this city who
have devoted almost their whole time TO this
exclusive purpose, and who have been emf
nently successful in the prosecution Of such
claims

sB-Mrs. Y. +. Pierce Of Cambridge. Mass.
has written very long and very elaborate
letter TO the New York World ia which she
strongly urges the necessity of organizing and
utilizing the labor OF women in this country.
The antiluxury movement having failed in
some good degree, Mrs. Pierce points out what
she considers the clear line of duty. Our wo-
men must stop piano-playing and iding, and
go resolutely to work. They must become
producers as well as consumers. She would
have almost an entire revolution in certain
kinds of business. The men now employed
in selling goods and as clerks must 90 to the
farm and workshop, and let the women occupy
their places. Women must organize new in
dustries, and extend the range of female labor.
She thinks vast Improvement might be made
and the producing classes greatly multiplied.
Her logic is keen, and her suggestions worthy
OF consideration. Ii is true that an idle life
is not happy one. We are so constituted
that we must work il we would enjoy life.
Every ones experience teaches such doc
trine.

WASHINGTON. June ~.
According to the message communicated to
the Senate to-day relative to the case of Ar
guelles, it appears that Arguelles captured the
slaves in the expedition, rs was his official
duty, but instead of surrendering them to the
Governor General he sold portion of them,
and accounted for them by reportii g that they
died OF small pox and that their bodies had
been buried, and bribed curate to attest to it.
A report has reached here that Gen. Butler
has relieved Gen. Gilmore Of his command,
and ordered him to report at Fortress Monroe
as under arrest, and await court martial, but
that Gen. Grant, upon learning the facts,
stated above, released Gen. Gilmore, and Or
dered him to report at Washington and await
further orders.
The Senate tonight confirmed the following
nominations: Col. w. T. Bartlett, 18th Mass,
to be Brigadier General Col. Elicit w. Rice,
9TH Iowa, to be Brigadier General; +. Potter,
of Wisconsin, to be Consul General for the
British North American provinces Thomas
Fitzpatrick, of New York, to be Consul at
Nassau, n. 7.
The result of the Senate's action tonight
on the bill amendatory to the enrolment act,
was the refusal. by three majority, to strike
out the $500 Communication clause.

THE DANISH QUESTION.
The Conference was to meet on the after
noon Of the 9th.
The Paris Constitutional learns that Prus-
Ella and Austria have consented to prolonga-
ton of the armistice for a fortnight.
1t is pointed out that the question of from
tier is of momentous importance for the Danes
as the line of Schleswig is of first rate strate-
gic Importance, while the frontier proposed
by the Germans is perfectly indefensible, and
would leave the Danes always at the mercy
OF Germany, hence the line of the Schlei Is
understood to be Danish ultimatum.
Ii is confirmed that the Emperor of Russia

THE THEATRE.-Ther re was a very good
house last evening and the Merchantof Ven

ditors appeared much gratihed with the per-

their parts. We are glad Mr.. Myers has such
good company and has selected such legiti-
mate plays. We did not see the afterpiece,
