Mentromery Blair's Test!monY.

Montgomery Blair-a member Of Mr.
Lircoln's cabinet "two years ago"-made
speech at Troy, N. y, last week in
which he said:
1t may suit some te sneer at the demo
cratic party--its history and men. l
never could find II consistent eth truth to
cast any aspsrsion upon its l0yalty and
fidelity to the government. MIR. Seward
himself don't declare that to support Mr..
Johnson is necessary for himato stick to
the republican party. Tie democratic
party everywhere supports Mr. Johnson's
reconstruction policy; the republicans do
rot--they do not in this state ful y and
unreservedIy commit themselves to it
Their resolutions simply support the plan
as far as it goes-but they attach their
re reservations and additions which mean
nothing else than It's Remuneration in con.
gross.

By the arrival of the Inman steamer
City Of Boston at New York, and the
Canadian steamship Damascus at Farther
Point, we have four davs later news from
Europe, the last named vessel bringing
Londonderry advices to the twentieth ul-
timo. The City Of Boston brings intelli>
gencs of the death of Lord Palmerston,
the Prime Minister Of England, who died
on the eighteenth instant. This event
bad produced profound sensation in
England, causing business on the Stock
Exchange and in all other quarters ofLon-
don to be almost entirely suspended.
The Queen was at the time on a visit to
Scotland, and nothing definitely was
known as to the succession, bst it was
generally supposed that Earl RusseI
would be called to the Premiership, aud
that Lord Clarendon would take The For
eign Office. The English journals had
created quite a sensation by the announce
ment that Mr. Seward had sent an ultima
tum TO the French Government on the
Mexican question, declaring that any fur
ther inter, enlion on the part Of the En-
peror would not be tolerated, or, at least
that the troops he might send to Mexico
would not be permitted to land, If this
Government could prevent it. The found

Our Relations 3 with Mexico.

A leading paperALd Socieddd publish
ed at the Mexican capital, has the follow
ing article in reference to the attitude of the
United States: ID, ,,
! We do not believe In the imminence of a
declaration of war against Mexico and
France, nor in the immediate danger of an
American invasion. But that which seems
to us scarcely less offensive is that neither
can we confide in the protestations of
neutrality by Mr.. johnson that there is
room for presuming that although he
might be sincere and well disposed, he
would perceive it impossible to extinguish
the confagration whose elements accumu-
late ON the frontier. That, in fine, in the
actual state of affairs and of feeling, the
menacing attitude of the American Gov
ernment cannot do less than retard indefin-
itely the pacifcation of Mexico, depreciate
its credit, paralyze enterprise, encourage
the disaffected and disconcert all calcula-
tions, military, political and financial. We
know that the Cabinet of Washington finds
itself assailed and besieged by grave inter-
nal occupations-t it has to reconstruct
the Union, organize the labor of the ne
groes and sustain grand parliament
ary strugglesd But also 1t is known
that il views with an evil. eye the
French standard In Mexico, and the
founding of monarchy on this continent,
and that, while it maintains in reserve this
important question, ii will eDdeavor to re-
solve it In accordance with the sentiment
Of popular impatience and republican ira
ditions. 1t Is possible to foresee, therefore,

The Bishop OF the New Western
~ III Reunsylvamla Diocese. JYn

The PiRsbmgh Gazette gives the following
facts concerning Rev. Df. Kerfoot, the Bish-
Oh elect of the new Diocese of Western
Pennsylyania: 'sBishop Kerfoot will be
fifty years Of age next March. His theo-
logical studies were commenced In 1887, at
Flushing Institute, Long Island, under the
Rev. DR.. Muhlenberg, one Of the most able
educators in the United States, having sent
outfrom his college, beside Bishop Kerfoot,
Bishop Odenhelmer, Bishop Beden, of Ohio,
and many other eminent scholars and theo-
logians. After finishing theregular course,
DR., Kerfoot was appointed chaplain and
professor of languages in this college, which
was subsequently merged into Sc. ,Paul's
College In lS42. From this college he was
called to the Presidency of st. James Col
lege, Maryland, Of which he was the princi-
pal founder. This institution sent out many
eminent classical and theological scholars,
among whom was the Right Rev. DIR. Clark
son, consecrated Bishop of Nebraska and
Dacotah on Wednesday last. DR.. Kerfoot
remained President OF this college until
1868, wien he was driven from it by the
rebellion, upon which he accepted a call,
which had been made to him several times
before, TO the Presidency Of Trinity Coll
lege, Hartford, which he completely re.
modelled and brought up to its present high
standing as an educational institutions tIa

Little More Hopeful.

The Cleveland Leader, the organ of the
Radicals on the Reserve, which has been in
a remarkably despondent condition over
the policy the President hitherto pursued
toward the South, manifests more hopeful
ness. Hear 1t: mag a.f .gFh .i5i
There is no question but the terms Of Mr..
Johnson's amnesty proclamation were far
more lenient than the rebels had dared to
hope for. They were both astonished and
delighted. The heart Of the far-seeing
loyalist was despondent. He could not re-
concile so much mildness with the brave
words of the President, uttered few weeks
before. And then when pardOns began TO
fall among uprepentant rebels as thick as
antumnal leaves in the forest; when men
but little, If any better, were appointed
Provisional Governors; when the services
of the black man were forgotten BY those
who had asked for them, and his rights
were ignored, he was almost driven to des-
pair. The current had gone sea-ward and
IL was ebb-tide. For weeks and even months
he has watched for its return. There was
little to cheer his heart save an abiding
faith in the American people and In the
American idea. Considering the rapid
movement OF events the watch has been
a lonely one. But that the tide Is set
ting shore-ward again can not now be de-
MED, The indications are too strong TO be
mistaken. II might be difficult TO name
the moment when the first was seen, but the
rising Is unrnistakable.

that even if it does not openly combat the
intervention and the Empire, at least 1t will
endeavor to agitate Mexico to weary, by
meansof continual alarms, the expedition
ary forces, to let the French army exhaust
itself, to enervate the Empire and excite
internal enemies, with the purpose, too,
with greater safety, of precipitating itself
when the day of official rupture shall ar
rive. n
This dissolving policy cannot be tolerated;
a declaration of war would be preferable t."
this declaration of permanent ill-will. = =
AS to France, her honor and the safety of
the expeditionary flag will not permit her
to remain long under the action OF provoca-
tions disguised and eventualities unseen. y

pires the Government of the United States
will be placed under the necessity of fling
ing into the bravo the'sWord brapdished in

of measuring it fairly and squarely in de-

Committed for Riga.nny: NV:

We mentioned some days since the arrest
of Charles w. Long by Officer Gains on the
charge of bigamy, in having recently mar
ried a second wife, at Lithopolis, in Fair

ing. The first wife arrived in the city last
week. and, with her husband, Long, who
was confined in our City prison, was taken
to Lithopolis, where the latter had pre-
liminary examination before Justice Of

bail in the sum of $4,000 for his appearance
at the next term Of the Fairfield Common
Pleas to answer the charge Of bigamy. AS

Lot the President Stick to That
Ii is stated that Governor MORTON, Of
Indiana, had protracted interview with
President JOHNSON on the Goth ipst- and
that he found the President fully determin-
edin his reorganization policy. The Pres
ident is represented as having expressed
the opinion that there might be atfirst some
opposition in Congress, which would soon
pass way as restoration became more fully
developed, and that he thought, all things
considered, the Southern States were doing
remarkably well. u~d aedbH .l5a .al
Now, let the President stick to that, and
stand up for the Southern States, because
they have done and are doing remarkably
well, and all will go well with the country;
but IL he shall make the preservation Of the
Republican party paramount to che preser-
vation of the Union, as the Republican
politicians made it in 1S60-'6l, there is no
estimating the evil that will, as an ineyita-
BILE consequence, ensue to the country.
