The NRw York TRIBUNE, in speaking
of Mason 81 Haulin's Cabinet Organs, says:

These instruments have been blown by the
wind Of genuine success from Boston to San
Francisco. That Messrs. Mason & Hamlin
have succeeded in making superior email In
strument, from little bandbox like things. to
those which, though portable, and not larger
than piano, can make themselves felt in q
church, is the universal opinion of the musical
profession. They agree that no such mechani.
cal works of the kind can be fonnd in eonal
perfection in Europe. The tone is pure and
full, and with an immense body for so small
a provocative mechanical force They stand
rough travelling, bad usage, and will live in
climates which will kill American missionaries

Damage to railroad. by Fre.hets.

On the North Missouri railroad no material
damage has been done us far as Macon, about
one hundred and sixty miles from st. Louis.
Beyond that point all kinds Of mischief has
been done.
Culverts and bridges have been swept
away, and different portions OF the track
rendered impossible. During the last two
or three days railroad communication has
ceased entirely between Hannibal and St.
Joseph.
On the Ohio and Mississippi railroad no
damage of Importance has been done since
the sweeping away Of the bridge near Gin.
cinnati on Wednesday night.
All the trains have been behind time,
owing to the fact that great caution is neces.
sarily used to avoid accidents and much
slower than ordinary rate of speed is gen.
orally kept up
On the Terre IIaute and Richmond railroad
the damages inflicted in the early part of the
week have been repaired, and through trains
are leaving at regular hours. They run
slower than usual, and are generally few
hours behind time.
The track Of the Pacific railroad is in some
places entirely submerged, and rendered
almost impossible. Between Washington
and Jefferson City some damage has been
caused by landslidos, and some Of the cul.
verts arc badly injured and others washed
away.-St. Louis RspHbHeaH, 29th.

A Sensation story-Meeting of the
Friends Of Jeff. Davis In New York.

An evening paper has report Of privat,
meeting of the friends of jeff. Davis, alleged
to DO held on Monday afternoon, under tn,
following call
You are invited to meet, with several gentle
men, at the office Nos. 10 and 20, In the hOus,
| No. 0 Broad street, on Monday, the 3Ist instant
at |. m., to devise means for the fair and full
defence OF Jefferson Davis and his associates, so
that whatever happens justice may be done.
NEW York, July 20, 1865.
The rooms designated are those occupied
by Mr.. Carlos Butterfeld, who was present,
and took part in the proceedings.
There was no formal organization; the pro.
ceedings were somewhat formal, however,
and on the suggestion of Mr.. Peter Y. Cut
Ter, n committee of Eve was appointed " to
raise funds for the object stated in the call,
to consult with Charles O'Conor Esq, Of
counsel, and to adopt such other measures
as may be necessary to hasten on trial Of
the parties so unjustly incarcerated by the
United States Government"
The following gentlemen were then named
as the committee: Mayor c. Godfrey Gun.
ther, Carlos Buttorfeid, Theodore MARITIME,
- Douglas, and - Clancy. The mayor
was not present, but he sent in rs regret.
and assurances Of hearty oo-o 'eratio
Among those composing the me g we:e
Mr.. Surrogate Tucker, Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Liv.
ingston, of Mobile, and several others from
the South.
Messrs. Cutler, Tucker and Livingston
were the principal speakers. They all re-
gardod the failure of the rebellion rs but
temporary; it had failed only because it was
Overpowered. Tho spirit that originated it
still lives, and by the assistance of their
friends at the North 1t can be successful in
arother way.
lIr. Livingston assured his friends that
Alabama would be represented in Congress
by none who were not soul and body in favor
Of Southern independence; that the execu
tion of Mrs. Surratt had excited the indig.
nation Of the world against the Admipistra
ton; and that under this condemnation the
Government dare not trust Mr.. Davis to Il
trial. unless 1t was forced upon them by pub.
lie opinion.
Mr.. Livingston is now on his way to Europe
to assure the friends Of Southern independ.
ence there Of final success. The plan OF
operation is changed, but success is certain.
lie expects to raise funds in Europe for the
furtherance Of the cause. Mr.. Livingston
said that in short time "any person who
would regard the cause of the South in its
recent effort rs reasonable would be looked
upon as n madman or n fool. ~. Y. Com.

heah-AAeuucttOn IN Prtce.
From and after the first day Of August, 1866,
the price Of the DAILY REPUBLICAN will be
THIRTY cents per month
When we raised the price Of our paper in July.
1884, we were compelled to that step on accou n I
OF the increase IN the price Of labor and material
of all kinds. The cos. Of paper has fallen con
stderably during the past month. The price OF
labor has not fallen, and there is no probability
that wages will he reduced for some tine to
come. But, believing that we shall receive large
aceessions to our list VI subscribers by being lib
eral in our prices, we have decided upon the re
duction named above.
II Is the purpose OF the propr;otors to con .
tinue to make the RBPUBLICASR !" class news
paper, improving as we go along, Civ .ng more
attention to local aud departmental ala rs than
we have been able to do In the past, because OF
the pressure Of war news upOn us.
The space and time heretofore necessarily
given to the promulCatiou Of bloody battles, :"
on sea and land, will be much more agreeaJly
devoted in the future to the development OF the
resources Of the country through tho various
bureaus Of the several Departments of the Gov
ernment
The local news Of the city will receive tn"
special attention Of the propretors OF the RErvD-
LICAS. Thorough and accurate reports Of all pub
lie and noteworthy events in the District will be
promptly published.
We have made arrangements to have the RE-
PUBLICAN delivered promptly aud regularly to
subscribers In all parts Of this city and George
town. Subscribers will confer u favor by
promptly notifying us OF any rcmis ,ne,s on the
part OF carriers.
We respectfully solicit from our advertising
friends continuation Of their patronage.

The Postoffce Depait tment has shown n
desire to meet the wants of the business pub
lie by the issue Of two new varieties of the
stamped envelopes, viz: The ordinary letter
size, with double rate, six cent. stamp, and
the official size bearing the single rate, three
cent. stamp. Heretofore in sending letter
weighing half an ounce or more in the letter
size Government envelope it has been neces.
sary to use an adhesive stamp to pay the ex-
cess of postage, thus disGguring the appear.
ance of the envelope and causing an increase
Of labor in the work Of cancellation. So in
regard to the official size stamped envelopes,
with an enclosure of less weight than hall
ounce, the use of the stamped envelope ne.
cessitated a loss of one rate of postage Both
Of these inconvenience are obviated by the
issue of the new envelopes, which will soon
be for sale at the principal postofices through.
out the country. The envelopes are of neat
appearance, having the embossed stamps in
the usual form, the color of that Of the letter
sine being purple and that of the official size
chocolate.

An Irres,stibie uIustrn,,ou.

Harper's Weekly contains what can only
be called an irresistible illustration of the
franchise question. On one page Freedom
is represented seated on chair of State,
resting her right arm on shield, while with
her right hand she supports her forehead as
If in deep, profound study. Knoeling at her
feet are some of the principal traitors, and
below the group appears the word ''Pardon;''
with the question Of COiumbid-" Shall /
trust these men ~ This picture is truly
suggestive, and is well calculated, alone, to
appeal to the judgment and the justice of all
who love the country. But the illustration,
in juxtaposition, gives to Columbia's ques.
tion strange significance. The Illustration
opposite represents Columbia standing erect
on the porch of the Capitol, and by her side
a negro soldier on crutches, one leg having
been amputated. Beneath this picture Is
the word Franchise and as if in contin-
uation of the illustration, "!ShaH / trust
these men ?'' appeared the words, "A,M not
his man 3'' We defy the true man to gaze
on such an illustration, and not feel stirring
in his heart an emotion of gratitude and
justice TO the black man.

We are told that very fine flock of Alpaca
goats has been offered to the United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, through a gen.
tleman Of Bolivia, who has two hundred Of
them for sale. The whole flock is offered for
six hundred dollars, which is cheap enough
But unfortunately Isaac Newton has no
money with which to make the purchases
and although the Department Of Agriculture
has conducted many experiments, they have
been with animals or vegetables presented to
them. Mr.. Newton has no means of going
into the goat business, and he has, therefore,
declined the Offer but at the same time he
asks the attention of agriculturalists to it,
and there seems to be no reason why the
Alpaca may not be introduced to the country
and cultivated with success. Each goat grows
about eighteen pounds of wool; it is very long
and very 6ne, and worth 81. so per pound.
Alpaca goods arc so we'll known that 1t is
needless to say more in reference to this op-
portunity, of which some of our agricultural.
lists should take hold Immediately. PhiLa.
